The Joseon Shooter
He'll arrive soon.
Take a good look...
how he ends up dying.
You're the bait.
He'll get shot by another gun as he runs to catch me.
Right in front of your eyes.
Father! Father!
That's Baek Mountain.
Keep in mind...
there are two remaining gunmen.
We're also two. It's worth a fight.
I'm heading straight up.
Yes, then I'll go around from the back.
I'll attack from behind.
- Be careful. - You too, Father.
Our destination is Hwagye Mountain.
Now, let's go!
It's about time that your father arrives.
Come out!
Your daughter is here!
Come and take her!
I know you're here!
Then what are you so afraid of?
Father!
Yes, Yeon Ha.
Are you alright?
Yeon Ha!
- Yoon Kang! - Yeon Ha.
Now, let's go.
Let's go.
Go ahead. I'll chase them away.
Father, let's go together.
Don't worry.
You should go. I will...
Go!
- Father! - Father!
Father!
Let's go, Yeon Ha.
Did you hear me?
Park Jin Han... killing that one man is not our goal.
We have to make His Majesty get on his knees before us.
So that he will never be able to go against us.
Yes, Lord Kim.
I'll prepare for that.
If you make a move yourself, it'll be too obvious.
- Then... - Focus on the wrap up.
I'll handle the Court of Justice.
I'll take care of other officials.
I'll keep them quiet ahead of time.
Make sure there is no mistake.
If anything goes wrong, we might face the headwind.
Yes, sir.
Welcome back.
Sure.
Well... the young master from the second lady is here.
- How have you... - Enough.
I heard you stopped by.
Yes. I stopped by as soon as I came back from Japan.
You were out, so I left without getting to see you.
So why did you come again?
Do you have a particular reason that you have to see me?
Of course I should pay my respects...
You don't need to do that.
You cry 'revolution' every time you open your mouth.
So why bother with old-fashioned filial duty and manners?
Didn't you think everything needed to be shaken upside down?
Leave.
Do whatever you want and see if the world changes according to your plan.
Naturally... children from concubines are always disobedient.
Don't delude yourself and think you're a pioneer.
In fact, you're only a loser who is jealous of what the legitimate children have.
Keep that in mind.
I've never faced him comfortably.
He is... always curt with me.
It's only natural for him.
His son is taking the path he doesn't want.
Anyway, I think it's a good idea to keep your family as a secret for now.
Even as a son of a concubine
if you lead the Enlightenment as a son of Second Vice Premier Kim Byung Jae
no one will believe you.
Then...
I'll introduce you as heir of some family that fell apart.
- I'll say that to Interpreter Jung, too. - But, Teacher...
Just for a while. Only until people realize your true intentions.
Just bear it until then.
Soo In!
- Is that true? - Yes.
It's all because of me.
If I didn't start that useless thing...
If we didn't go out...
So you've been standing guard at the door the whole time?
Yes. I'm so nervous that I can't just sit in the room.
- Brother? - Yes.
- Please take me... - It could be dangerous.
Soldiers went there, too. Let's just go near.
I'll just check if they're alive.
Brother...
I taught you how to ride a horse, right?
Keep following the wide path.
You'll find the Palace Guards when you get near the city gate.
It's Baek Mountain. Tell them.
- Yoon Kang... - Don't worry.
I'll make sure to come back with Father.
You trust me, don't you?
Here.
Hold tight.
Father!
Are you okay?
I'm okay.
I can manage.
Why did you come back? What about Yeon Ha?
Don't worry. I sent her on a horse.
Who the heck are they?
I don't know yet.
I think they're related to the Gyeonggi merchant group.
I'm in the middle of an investigation.
Gyeonggi merchant group...
I cut the left arm of one of them.
There should be a scar.
It's that gunman who tried to kill Soo In and you last time.
Please bear just a little longer for now.
Yeon Ha left, so the palace guards will run over here.
They're still looking for them.
I thought everyone would be down from the mountain by now.
I think something went wrong.
Let's wait.
Yeon Ha!
- Yeon Ha... - Soo In...
- Are you okay? Did you get hurt? - I'm okay.
Soo In, what about the soldiers?
Yoon Kang and Father are still fighting. We have to help them quickly!
I'll run to them in the mountain.
We don't have time.
I'm sorry.
My family is going through all kinds of hardships because of me.
What are you saying out of nowhere?
- Please stop. - No.
It's true.
Your mother died because of me.
- Father! - I wanted to save her.
But...
it didn't go as I planned.
[13 years ago, a town near Aprok River] Tell me.
What's the reason you're not attacking the thieves after locking them in the mountain?
They have a hostage.
I cannot let the innocent hostage die.
Nonsense!
Don't you think that I know it's your family?
Sir! That's what I've always done even if it wasn't my family.
Quiet! Get rid of them before the governor arrives here.
If not, you and your subordinates will be punished under the military justice.
Sir.
Start the attack in two hours.
Sir, they have a hold of Lady Kim.
I'm going to save her.
I ran for her.
I felt rushed, so I went in a hurry.
That was my mistake.
We got him!
Lady!
Are you really...
Don't touch her!
Lady!
That night... I regretted becoming a soldier for the first time.
For the first time...
I cried all night.
Why...
Why are you telling me that now?
Why did you let me hate you?
What excuse would I need?
In the end, I couldn't save your mother anyway.
If I wasn't punished that way at least, I couldn't bear it.
I'm sorry. Forgive me.
Forgive your father.
Palace guards are here.
I'll bring them.
It's them!
They're coming this way.
We have no arrows.
If they find the cave, we'll be at a disadvantage.
We can take care of one each. We can hold out a little longer.
I'll take care of them.
They're targeting me.
- Father... - We don't need to die together!
I'm okay now.
Your shoulders have become broad, so I'm at ease now.
I think I'll be at ease if I go to your mother now.
Please stop.
Listen to me!
- Someone needs to take care of Yeon Ha! - Father!
Make sure Yeon Ha doesn't cry too much.
I don't want to. I promised Yeon Ha that we'd go together!
I'll never go by myself!
I'm sorry.
Over there.
Father!
Yes, it's me.
Your hunch was correct.
That's why you're dying.
Let's go.
Father!
Father.
Father!
Father...
Father! Wake up, Father!
Father!
Father... Please, please open your eyes, Father!
Yeon Ha is waiting!
I still have things to say...
I still have a lot that I didn't get to tell you, Father!
Please wake up, Father!
Father!
Father...
Father... No...
Father!
High treason?
It's true, Your Majesty.
Park Jin Han's subordinate came and confessed everything just now.
Along with the dead Park Jin Han
he dared to point Prince Heungseon as the one behind the gunmen.
The head of the palace guard gave me the order in secret.
He said he'd make up evidence, so he told me to sneak into Prince Heungseon's house
and plant it.
He said that the Prince Heungseon was the only one who'd stir up with gunmen.
He said that Prince Heungseon had to die for His Majesty's path to clear.
That's what he said.
That's impossible.
Park Jin Han is not that kind of man.
It's the truth that's already been cleared, Your Majesty.
Please give us your order now.
Punish dead Park Jin Han for high treason
and punish all of his family members, too.
Wait.
I'm going to find out about this.
It's not something to take time, Your Majesty!
It's Prince Heungseon! It's Your Majesty's father!
The son should not protect the one who tried to kill his father!
This shouldn't go past tonight!
Please give us your command now!
Please follow them. Please do what they want you to do.
- My queen... - If you don't do that
they'll definitely overthrow the government with the excuse of immorality.
Your Majesty, they've been ruling Joseon for the past 100 years.
They're the power who put a new king and got rid of him as they pleased.
Most officials are also related to them.
Please lower yourself for a while.
Earn some time.
We'll be busy from today since we have to greet the visitors.
Yes.
First, we should prepare funeral clothes.
Yes.
Stop blaming yourself.
It didn't happen because of you.
Yoon Kang!
What about Yeon Ha?
She finally fell asleep early this morning.
That little one...
Young Master...
You're having a tough time.
- Why did you come out? - I need to prepare for the funeral.
Please stay inside. We'll make the preparations.
I'll do it.
I haven't done anything for him.
At least... I'll do my last duty myself.
Who are you? I'm from the West Police Force!
It's His Majesty's order!
Park Jin Han and his son will be beheaded for high treason
His daughter will become a slave. That's His Majesty's order!
- Take out the criminals! - Yes, sir!
- Get up! - Who are you?
- Get out! - Who are you?
What's going on?
- Soo In! - Hurry!
- Yeon Ha! - Soo In!
Soo In! Soo In!
Please stop. Something went wrong. High treason?
Move!
- Soo In! - Soo In!
Yeon Ha!
- Soo In! - Let's go!
- Soo In! Soo In! - Yeon Ha!
Soo In!
My name is Park Yoon Kang.
I'm the son of the Head of the Palace Guard Park Jin Han.
You are?
I heard about your father.
I'm sorry to hear that he faced the misfortune with the gunman.
So, what is the reason you came to see me?
I came to find the gunman who killed my father.
Why would you look for him here?
My father said that he was suspicious of the Gyeonggi merchant group.
If the Gyeonggi merchant group is involved
it's impossible for you to not know.
Then... are you saying that I managed those gunmen?
You really don't know us.
If we gather all the merchants in the Gyeonggi group, it's some thousand merchants.
Besides, all the branches manage independently.
I'm telling you that it's not an organization that the head can know every detail about.
Please leave now. Stop with your rash interrogation.
Then help me!
If you're innocent, then help me.
Let me look around and find him!
My father left evidence.
He cut the gunman's arm and left a scar on him.
Prepare your answer until I come back.
If you refuse me again, I'll consider you the criminal.
Then... I'll start by checking your arm first.
If we leave him alone, he'll become a big trouble.
I should finish the rest of it.
It's Milson Port by Chunil Temple.
As soon as you find Yoon Kang, come right over.
I'll prepare a boat.
Thank you, Brother.
See you later.
I'm sorry.
A policeman can't help with this...
Besides, it's high treason.
I understand.
Wait.
The message will be delivered soon.
You have to leave the city gate before that.
Understood.
What the heck is going on?
- I'll leave it to you. - Yes.
I'll prepare the funeral clothes and bring them to you.
- Sure. - Please take care.
Lady Soo In!
You have to run right now.
Ho Kyung prepared a boat for you.
I can't believe this.
Father... Father committed high treason?
What about Yeon Ha? What happened to her?
She was taken to the court.
You can't. All the soldiers from the court are looking for you.
- I don't care! - Young Master!
Let go of me. My father passed away trying to save Yeon Ha.
But you want me to run away, leaving her behind?
Young Master, if you get caught, you'll die.
Yeon Ha will become a slave, but you'll be beheaded!
So please! Hide yourself for a while.
If you get caught, who would Yeon Ha rely on...
It's the criminal!
That way.
He's not here.
They're gone.
Line up.
We have to check your face before you can leave.
We're blocked.
Go ahead first.
- Pardon? - Leave the gate first.
I'll go through the gate. If I have to leave, I will.
- Young Master... - Hurry up!
It's him!
Let's hurry!
This way. Hurry.
You go that way. The rest will follow me.
Yes!
They're gone.
I'm sorry.
Because of me...
Please don't say that.
Let's hurry. We have to get to the port before it's too late.
By the way...
if I get on that boat, where am I going?
It's a secluded temple near Chungju.
Ho Kyung knows about the temple.
How far is that place?
It's more than a few hundred li away.
Then... when will I see you again?
I wanted to be with you everyday.
I wanted to talk to you every night.
That was the first dream I had... since I was born.
Young Master...
But... now it will only remain as a dream.
I'm still not sure...
what's really happening to me.
It just... feels like a nightmare.
Let's hurry.
This is it.
I think that's the boat.
- Excuse me, Scholar Kim Ho Kyung... - Oh, are you the ones?
Yes, but where is he...
You must've missed him.
He was worried, so he went that way to find you.
Pardon?
Please get on first. We can't stay here for too long.
Young Master...
I'll protect Yeon Ha.
I'll make sure to save her and take care of her.
Please take this.
- This is... - Yes.
This will help you find a way.
Wherever you are, this compass will guide your way.
Be careful. Make sure to stay alive.
Then we'll meet again.
When we meet again
we won't be separated.
Just like your dream, we'll be together everyday.
Lady Soo In...
So promise me...
that you'll stay alive.
I promise. I'll stay alive.
I'll definitely come back.
Please... be well.
Soo In! Soo In!
Shoot!
Soo In, hurry!
Run away now! Hurry!
Young Master!
Young Master...
- I have to go. - Soo In!
We have to save him. He got shot by a gun.
He fell into the water.
There are soldiers.
If you go, you'll get caught, too.
Young Master...
Is that true?
Yes.
A shot by a soldier from the court...
So, what about the body?
We couldn't find it.
The justice court gave up and left, too.
Goodness... what a misfortune...
I'm worried about Soo In.
She witnessed Yoon Kang die in front of her.
So why did you leave such a thing to Soo In?
What if she was taken to the justice court, too?
Please stop. How could you bring that up right now?
It's high treason. Our family could be destroyed, too!
Lady!
I just put him in my heart...
I just showed him my heart.
Not this far.
I didn't mean to send him away this far.
How far is that place?
It's more than a few hundred li away.
Then... when will I see you again?
It's like a dream.
A really bad one.
It feels like a nightmare.
I wanted to be with you everyday.
I wanted to talk to you every night.
That was my first dream... since I was born.
Did we save him for nothing? He looks pretty dead.
I agree. What are you going to do now?
What do you mean? He's still alive.
We'll take him with us until he wakes up.
We're on our way to Japan now.
The moment we get on a big ship at Jemulpo Port, we'll say good-bye Joseon.
That's the fun of life.
If he wakes up at Jemulpo Port, he'll remain in Joseon.
If he wakes up after that, he'll get off in Japan.
As if he was meant to live, this is how he grabbed onto his life.
Wake up where you want to.
Since I recovered you, I'll take care of you for a while.
[Joseon Gunman]
[After three years, Jemulpo Port] It's changed a lot.
Yes, it's changed a lot.
More ships will be coming soon. Now it's the era of commerce.
We have to make sure to grab this opportunity too.
By the way, what kind of man is Yamamoto?
He has the control of business rights in the kansai region in Japan.
He also has powerful influence in the Japanese government.
If we partner with him and expand our business
we'll have nothing to fear in the future.
Then what about the man who's coming to Joseon today?
He's the real power that Yamamoto left all his rights to.
I heard he's a man named Hanjo.
Hanjo...
Our fate is in his hands.
You can say that.
So, what about Hye Won?
At the dock. She seems to be waiting for a very important man.
By the way, do you have to come here every month?
Why would I not come? Ships are coming in from Japan.
But you could skip once in a while.
Don't say that. Things are changing everyday in foreign lands.
New things are pouring out even in a month.
What are you going to buy this time?
There is something... really precious.
Something I really want.
What is it?
Soo In!
Young Master!
Did you meet him? Did you check?
It's in the ship that's coming in today.
- Really? - Yes.
We're going to deal as soon as unloading is complete.
It's finally coming in.
Hurry up, Brother!
Okay, I'm coming.
Move!
Who are those people?
I wonder. They look like labor workers.
They must be having some trouble amongst themselves.
Subtitles by DramaFever
My name is Hasegawa Hanjo. Just call me Hanjo.
You speak Korean very well. Where did you learn how to shoot?
Why do I have to tell you that?
Mr. Hanjo!
What's wrong with her? I can't touch the gisaeng in Joseon?
We're looking to start a relationship with a human being.
- Not with an animal with no manners. - Animal? How brazen.
Hanjo looks familiar somehow.
Excuse me. I'll just ask one question.
Let's face off first to have a battle.
Set up for the win. That's what I wanted to check.
