Joseon Gunman
Release Choi Won Shin since he's innocent.
And execute the criminal of high treason Park Yoon Kang.
Your Majesty!
- Choi Won Shin! - Stupid fool.
Once you aim your gun, you shouldn't hesitate even for a second.
Don't cry even if I'm not around.
Young Master...
- Are you awake now? - What happened?
His Majesty saved you.
Work with me. I need your help.
I cannot follow your command.
I completely gave up on the last hope that I had on you and the country.
- If you're going to stop me, cut me now. - Let him go.
I bet everything I have to save you.
If you change your mind, come to me anytime.
Even if you kill a few people with a gun, it doesn't change anything.
Unless the world changes, everything will repeat itself.
I have to get rid of him this time.
I'll end your life today.
Wait... Wait!
My father's enemy!
My sister's enemy!
And...
my enemy.
[Joseon Gunman Episode 15]
It was Park Yoon Kang.
I'm sure.
What about Father? Where is he?
He disappeared with him.
I looked everywhere in the area
but I couldn't find anything.
Gather people right now.
- We have to find my father! - Yes, ma'am.
- Let's go! - Yes, sir!
I don't know why he punished my father like that.
I heard he favored my father.
I'm not sure either, but His Majesty probably didn't want to do that.
Yoon Kang!
Did something happen?
I'm... not really sure if this is the right way.
But... I couldn't come up with a different way.
I heard that's what revenge is.
In the end, you're only left with emptiness.
Ma'am!
It's his shoe.
It looks like something happened to him.
What do you mean?
Are you saying that my father passed away?
- I'm sorry. - Don't say that.
That could never happen.
My father wouldn't die so easily.
So don't ever say that out loud again!
Hye Won...
What brings you here?
I want to ask you something.
Where is Park Yoon Kang?
You do know... where Park Yoon Kang is, don't you?
- Why him, all of a sudden? - Tell me.
You know where. He must've told you.
I don't know where he is, either.
So you met with him.
Where is he? Tell me now!
What's with this, all of a sudden?
That man... killed my father.
What?
Park Yoon Kang... killed my father.
My father is the whole world to me.
But I only found a shoe with a blood stain after looking for him all day.
Tell me... so that I can find my father.
I want to at least find his body, so tell me now!
I don't know either. I really don't know where he is.
Hye Won...
If you see him again, tell him.
That I'm going to kill him.
I'm going to kill Park Yoon Kang.
I definitely will.
Hye Won...
You're the only one I'm worried about.
No, Hye Won!
Whatever I've done so far or whatever I do in the future
I'm only doing it for you.
Keep that in mind.
Father...
My lord!
Choi Won Shin disappeared.
It looks like he got shot by the gunman.
Did he?
My lord, we have to send out people and find Choi Won Shin now!
Why are you making a fuss over his disappearance?
I'm just worried that we'll have trouble proceeding with our plans without him.
You shouldn't rely too much on the animal that you raise.
Just stay calm.
I'll take care of it.
Yes, my lord.
Father... it's almost over. Everything.
I'm going to attack Kim Jwa Young today.
What? Today?
You said you'd wait until he steps out of his house.
I can't wait any longer. I'm going to finish this as soon as possible.
I have to do it even just for Yeon Ha.
Once he's gone, it's over.
You can't. You saw all the soldiers lined up.
'Take the longer route when you're in a hurry.'
If you attack without a plan, you'll get run over.
I know a path from a side door. I can enter from there.
- Odds are pretty good. - You can't do it by yourself.
If you really want to go, go with your police officer friend and soldiers.
Don't worry. Nothing bad will happen.
Brother!
Since the Byulgi Force was formed, the old capital guards have been pushed aside.
His Majesty is determined to get control of military power with the new army.
It's actually for the better.
The more complaints that the capital guards have
the easier for us to control them.
Just like you ordered, I've limited qualifications
for the Byulgi Force only to the noble class.
His Majesty didn't oppose it either.
He didn't? Of course he shouldn't.
The rule of the noble class over the lower class should be preserved regardless.
Speaking of which, my lord...
why don't we re-establish the rule of the noble class
at the new executive department?
An interpreter became an administrator, an illegitimate child entered the palace...
Even the low ones outside of the palace think it's their world now.
You should catch all the runaway slaves and make an example out of them.
If we happen to catch Park Jin Han's daughter
we'll be able to catch his son with her, too.
It's 'catching two birds with one stone.'
Sure! Will you take charge of that?
Yes, my lord. Just leave it to me.
Yes... catch everyone. Don't miss any!
Catch every one of them!
What about others? Why didn't they come?
They said they refuse training until we get a new officer.
What?
They can't take orders from an officer of illegitimate background
and bow their heads to him.
You formed a new army and became an officer to be treated this way?
It's not a problem of Byulgi Force.
It's the fault of the system in Joseon.
Under the rules that you're trying to preserve
I'm only an illegitimate child that cannot be changed.
You...
No matter how much you try, there are things you can't change.
So please stop!
Take off that uniform that doesn't even suit you!
Just focus on reading and discussing with scholars like before.
If you want, I'll send you to Japan again.
Why would you say that all of a sudden?
It's my advice as your father.
Before you face a bigger trouble, keep my advice in mind.
Quit right now!
- Search! - Yes, sir!
Follow her!
- She's around here. Search everywhere! - Yes, sir!
Master!
What's wrong? Did something happen?
What about Yeon Ha?
She must've run away after seeing soldiers.
But I can't find her anywhere.
Yeon Ha!
- Yeon Ha! - Yeon Ha!
Yeon Ha!
This won't do.
Please tell me where he is.
We have to find Yeon Ha. She's in danger.
It's...
Young Master!
- How did you... - I'm sorry.
It's about Yeon Ha.
Yeon Ha disappeared.
It looks like she saw soldiers and thought they were after her, so she ran away.
What do you mean? She disappeared?
We can't find her anywhere. I don't know where she went.
We have to hurry up and find Yeon Ha. We have no time to waste.
Hurry! We have to go now!
Okay, let's go.
- Yeon Ha! - Yeon Ha!
Yeon Ha!
Young Master...
Over there.
Yeon Ha!
It's my fault. I'm sorry.
Please spare me.
I won't do it again. Please don't hit me.
Yeon Ha, it's me. I'm your brother.
Brother...
Soo In.
What about the soldiers? Are they gone now?
Yes, they're gone.
You're safe now, so don't worry.
What a relief.
I almost got caught.
What happened to your face?
I fell while I was running away.
It's okay.
Brother...
You must've been really scared.
I'm sorry. I came too late.
Brother...
Yeon Ha... must've been hurting a lot more than I thought.
But she hid it deep down and pretended she was fine.
Because of my revenge...
there are too many things both Yeon Ha and you have to take on.
Young Master...
Please leave now. It's dangerous to be out and about.
I'll walk you home. I want to do that.
When I heard that you went to Kim Jwa Young's house alone
my heart dropped.
If I lose you again, I won't be able to handle it.
Both for me and Yeon Ha.
Please stop now, Young Master.
Nothing changes by killing someone with a gun.
Once you kill someone, that's it.
Empty and vain, that's all.
You can't let Yeon Ha live as a runaway for the rest of her life.
Even just for Yeon Ha, find another way.
I'll help you, too.
To clear you from false accusation
and for Yeon Ha and you to live freely, I'll look for a way.
Thank you.
I get to run into you here.
I've looked for you for a while.
You're out and about with no fear.
As a runaway criminal of high treason.
You fooled me, too.
You told me that you didn't know where he was.
But you see him as much as you want.
It's not that...
There is something I want to check.
Tell me.
Did you really shoot my father?
Did Young Master Yoon Kang kill my father?
Tell me what happened!
What on earth did you do to my father?
I'm sorry... about your father.
'Sorry'?
Did you say you're sorry?
There is... nothing else to say to you.
No... don't apologize to me.
My father killed your father, too.
- Hye Won... - It's my turn now.
I'm in the same situation as you now.
You must know better than anyone how someone who lost her father feels.
Just wait.
See what I do, what you made me...
I'll show you for sure.
It's my fault. I'm sorry.
Please spare me.
You can't let Yeon Ha live as a runaway for the rest of her life.
Even just for Yeon Ha, please find another way.
I'm in the same situation as you now.
You must know better than anyone how someone who lost her father feels.
That's...
I got it a while ago.
I didn't think I'd use it.
Park Yoon Kang...
I'm going to kill him.
I'm going to get done with my own hands what my father couldn't do.
Watch Soo In from now on.
If you follow her, you'll find where Park Yoon Kang is staying, too.
Yes, I got it.
- Park Yoon Kang? - Yes.
- He wants to see you. - Where is he now?
I can't tell you.
Please cover your eyes and follow me.
Okay, just come with me. With your eyes open.
Eyes are meant to be open anyway...
I'm sorry.
My sword... Why is it here?
Without killing Kim Jwa Young, if we reveal the truth about Soo Ho Ge
can we really clear my father's name?
If that happens, can Yeon Ha and I live freely?
That's right. His Majesty made a promise.
I'm telling you again, but I have no intention
to participate in His Majesty's plan.
But until we reveal everything about Kim Jwa Young...
I will cooperate.
Yes, that's enough.
Thank you for giving me a chance.
I had promised Head of the Palace Guard
that I'd protect Yeon Ha and you.
But... I haven't accomplished anything.
As his subordinate, I couldn't face him.
But now I have hope.
Don't worry. I'll also help you as much as I can.
To clear the name of my boss who faced an unjustifiable death, I'll do my best.
At the taxation office?
Yes. The capital guards haven't been paid properly for over a year.
I reported to His Majesty and sent the grains today to be distributed.
- I'm on my way there to check. - Then please let me go with you.
I was worried about that anyway.
Let's go.
I heard we're getting paid, but what's with sand and rice bran?
Are you telling us to eat this?
Since the new army was formed, we were only assigned to labor work.
Are you pulling a joke on us with food now?
- Tell us what's going on! - Tell us!
- What's going on? Sand and rice bran? - I don't know either.
We're just distributing what we received.
It's all sand and bran.
How could this happen...
What's an official from Byulgi Force doing here?
Did you come here to watch us starve?
Take it with you! Take it and feed it all to your soldiers!
I'm going to see Lord Min. You should get back.
This is a camera, isn't it?
Yes. People who see it for the first time say
it's a goblin that takes away your spirit.
People who don't know the logic of the camera say that.
Logic of the camera?
- Do you know that? - Yes.
I heard that light comes through this hole and allows it to take a picture.
You're very smart.
You're very knowledgeable in many areas.
I'm embarrassed, Your Majesty. I came to know because I was curious.
So, what made you so curious about the camera?
I have memories that I don't want to forget.
Memories are forgotten with time.
But if I take a picture with a camera, I'd be able to keep the memory without forgetting...
so I got curious.
Is the memory you don't want to forget about your loved one?
Pardon?
Your Majesty...
What are you talking about that's so interesting?
Who is this lady? I haven't seen her before.
She's Administrator Jung Hwe Ryung's daughter.
She takes after her father, so she's very smart and knowledgeable.
I see. So, what is your name?
- My name is Jung Soo In. - I see.
Since you're Administrator Jung's daughter, you must've learned a lot from him.
He's been a great help for me.
Make sure to teach her well with what you've learned from Administrator Jung.
Forgive me, Your Majesty.
There is a lot more that I'm learning from Her Majesty.
Officer!
- What's going on? - We're sorry about before.
We heard you're in the palace, so we came to apologize.
I had no idea that you were Second Vice Premier's son.
If we had known, we'd have been careful...
Forgive us.
Did you run here to apologize because I'm Second Vice Premier's son?
- It's not that... - That's enough.
If you really want to apologize, show me in action in training.
Please leave. Now!
Brother...
Soo In...
What was that just now?
Second Vice Premier's son?
Is that true?
Are you really Second Vice Premier's son? Is that right?
Yes... He's my father.
I was going to tell you sooner...
I'm sorry I hid it from you.
You're lying...
You're lying, aren't you? He even tried to kill my father and me.
It doesn't make sense that you're his son.
You're Teacher Hyeon Am's student...
- But he is... - Soo In.
I'm sorry. I'll get going now.
First, find out what Kim Jwa Young is plotting.
I got a tip that Soo Ho Ge is collecting funds these days.
It looks like they're preparing for something big.
Why are so many merchants coming here?
What crumbs are they expecting?
There is only one reason.
They're lining up where power is leaning.
- 'Where power is leaning'? - Yes.
We need to find a way to get in there.
That way, we can find out what's going on.
Hey! Wait for me!
Let me. I'll carry it for you since it's heavy.
Forget it. I can go by myself.
Hey, you're cold to me these days.
Don't you know why? You pretended to be a gunman when you weren't.
Don't follow me around now. I'm embarrassed.
What? Embarrassed?
Hey, when did I follow you around?
Bad girl, you stirred up my heart...
Mr. Sato! Mr. Sato!
Je Mi!
- What about Sato? - He went to the warehouse with Je Mi.
You've improved a lot in the Joseon language.
It looks like Mr. Yamamoto will be coming soon.
He sent an arrival permit to the legation.
- Arrival permit? - Yes.
He'll look for you as soon as he arrives.
Yes... that'll do.
What's going on? Is there a problem?
Give me a hand.
You said you wanted to pay back the debt from Kyoto?
This is your chance.
I need your help.
- I'll trust you. - But that's...
Brother...
Sang Chu!
- Je Mi? - Yes.
Je Mi got dragged away by the ones sent by her owner.
I followed them... but they were too many.
It's okay for me to get beaten up, but Je Mi...
How can they hit such a tiny girl?
We have to rescue Je Mi.
- I have to go and rescue her! - Stay calm.
- Where are you going in that condition? - If we don't do anything, Je Mi will die.
Je Mi is a runaway slave. She'll die now that she's caught.
Tell me where it is. I'll go.
Brother...
So, how long did you think you could be on the run?
Please spare me. Spare me, my lord!
Sure, I'll let you live...
Even the goods that aren't worth as much are all part of my wealth.
Tie them up.
If anyone gives even a sip of water without my permission
I'll put them in the same situation. Understood?
Yes, sir!
Right...
It's a gunman!
What are you doing? Catch him right now!
My lord!
Bring all the slave documents to me.
Now!
No! No!
You... Do you know what you're starting now?
This is the First Vice Premier's house!
If you don't untie this now, you won't be safe!
[Slave document]
No, no! Stop!
It's mine. They're all my property!
Yes, if you stop now, I'll pay you.
You have no reason to do this for those worthless ones.
They're just ungrateful animals.
They're ignorant animals.
Shut your mouth!
To think that people are only property or animal...
as an official of this country... I'm embarrassed and ashamed.
What are you doing? Put out the fire now!
Leave. You're free now.
You don't need to serve anyone as your owner anymore.
Live as the owner of your life now.
Then no one will be able to bother you.
You bastards...
You bastard!
Leave. You're free now.
Thank you! Thank you!
He appeared with the full moon on his back and released slaves...
so he's called 'The Dark Gunman of the Full Moon.'
Isn't that really cool? My goodness, 'The Dark Gunman of the Full Moon'!
My lady? What are you thinking about?
It's nothing. I just think I know who he is.
What? You know who he is?
Yes, it's a secret.
Such a lie. Let me go with you!
I was surprised how a person can be so cruel to another person.
Once I saw Je Mi, I imagined how Yeon Ha must've have lived until now.
So it hurt me.
We're all the same people...
But some live their life ordering others around
and others live their life being ordered around.
I can't understand it.
That's why...
Teacher Hyeon Am and my father wanted to change it.
They knew that unless the world changed, nothing would change.
You did well.
Your servant saved people this time.
[Three years ago, Japan]
- What is this? - Open it.
- This is... - Promise me one thing.
Even if you hold a gun, don't become like them.
You shouldn't kill people lightly.
The reason I'm giving this to you is not for you to kill people.
I'm giving it to you to save people.
Depending on where you use your power...
a different future will open up for you.
Why...
I decided to stay at the Byulgi Force training site for a while.
I have a lot to do, and I don't want to bother you anymore.
I'm sorry to have hurt you because of my father and me.
As I have done so far, I'm going to stop my father
from trying to hurt Administrator Jung.
So don't worry too much.
What about the letter?
I sent it to Kim Jwa Young under the name of Yamamoto.
Is this the only way?
Help me. This is the only way to meet him.
'The Dark Gunman of the Full Moon'?
It's an interesting story.
Would it be Park Yoon Kang that ran away?
Don't be shaken by a story from the commoner's world.
It's a story created by those who want a hero and want to get away from reality.
Yes.
So, how is Lord Choi doing?
It's hard for him to move around, so he plans to focus on recovery for a while.
I happened to receive a letter.
It's from someone named Yamamoto.
Yamamoto...
Isn't he a big businessman who has a good grip on the Japanese government officials?
Yes, he is.
Choi Won Shin was trying to partner with him behind my back.
He's in Joseon now.
So I'm planning to meet him.
I see. That's really great.
Things are meant to go well...
so 'the one with water source for the rice field' came to me on his own.
Kim Jwa Young is not stupid. Do you think he'll fall for us?
It won't last long. But the documents are perfect, so he has no choice.
What do you plan to find out when you get there?
I'll confirm his face first and see what a big deal he is.
After that, I'll figure out the structure of the house.
If we're lucky, we'll be able to read what's on his mind, too.
Now, should we go for an adventure?
He hung on to his life because of this armour.
I returned from the Japanese legation.
So, what did they say?
How is it possible that no ship came in from Japan
but Yamamoto is in Joseon?
He didn't come from Japan.
He went to Qing and came from there to Jemulpo Port.
This verifies his arrival in the country.
[Certificate of Arrival]
Who are you? What brings you here?
This is Mr. Yamamoto from Japan.
He has an appointment with Lord Kim Jwa Young.
If you touch my body, I'm leaving.
He says, 'If you touch my body, I'm leaving.'
It's the lord's order.
'If you can't trust me, there is no need to meet.'
If it bothers you so much, then please leave.
Does pride matter to merchants?
It's a matter of profit.
Do you consider me as just a merchant?
He says, 'Do you consider me as just a merchant'?
Whether you're just a merchant
or a big businessman who can overlook a small inconvenience
why don't you show me?
What's the reason you came to me?
Actually, I have a mining business that I started in Joseon.
With the Gyeonggi merchant group. I'd like to expand that business.
If that's what you want, you came for the wrong person.
I'm not a merchant.
Of course I know.
I also know very well that your nickname is the king outside of the palace.
That's why I wanted to see you.
'King outside of the palace'?
You're saying a bit much.
I've dreamed of expanding in Joseon for a long time.
But the rules in Joseon are business blocks in my expansion.
Are you asking me to loosen up the business rules?
Yes. If you help me, I'll give you a part of my profit.
You can't compare it to the amount that small merchants handle.
What power would this old hag have to do that?
Why would you say that?
I know that the Joseon government is in your hands.
By the way, what happened to Hanjo?
From what I heard, he's actually Park Yoon Kang from Joseon...
Did the almighty Yamamoto not know that?
I knew he was from Joseon.
But I still took him in.
I thought I'd need someone like him someday.
'I knew he was from Joseon, but I still took him in.'
'I thought I'd need someone like him someday.'
Did you also know that he was a criminal of high treason?
That doesn't matter in business.
For a businessman, all that matters is if it will profit me or not.
'Why is that important in business?'
'For a businessman, all that matters is if it'll profit me or not.'
That's what he said.
Yes, you're right.
I think we're connecting very well, Mr. Yamamoto.
It's been a while since this old hag had a good laugh.
I'm glad to hear it.
Then please give some serious thought.
I'll wait for your response.
- He'll wait for your response. - I got it.
Be careful getting home.
My lord, he's awake.
Young Master!
Miss...
- Let's go in. - Yes.
- A house in the mountain? - Yes.
I just confirmed that she's with Park Yoon Kang there.
That's good. Get ready.
- I'm leaving right now. - Yes.
Is Yeon Ha doing better?
Yes, she's doing a lot better.
Thank you for taking care of Yeon Ha for me.
Don't mention it. If you have time, let's go together now.
You haven't been there in a few days.
Let's do that.
Yeon Ha will be happy to see her brother today.
- I see you here again. - How did you find this place?
You're too cold to me.
Very different from how you treat someone else.
Hye Won, did you follow me, by any chance?
Yes.
Since you wouldn't tell me anything, I had no choice.
- Hye Won! - I warned you...
that I would kill him.
I think right now is the time.
What are you doing?
I'm paying back the debt for my father.
And it's my good-bye to Young Master Yoon Kang who stirred up my heart.
Good-bye, Young Master Yoon Kang.
Drop the gun right now!
Otherwise, I'm going to shoot her.
Hye Won...
What are you doing? Remove the gun now!
Hye Won!

[Joseon Gunman]
Lord Kim Jwa Young is preparing for chaos.
He's planning to change the emperor.
Your Majesty, please move to a safe place.
The rebels are occupying the capital and running to the palace.
What? What happened to the Empress?
Where is he?
- Let's hide. It's rebellion. - Rebellion?
I have to go to Her Majesty. We have to get her out of the palace.
- I have a plan. - Queen Min! Where are you running?
She's not here!
Kill the empress.
If you complete this mission, you and I will hold hands and rule Joseon.
Go tell him that there is nothing that can be stopped with violence.
Joseon will move forward after all. That's the destiny of Joseon.
