Moon River
Episode 10
The Man on the Rooftop
Kill them all!
Throw them down!
Now!
Come here.
Now!
13 of our men got severely hurt, and 20 were lightly wounded,
but of the Haedongcheong, 5 were killed, 17 almost died,
and 23 of them we seized alive.
Any one escape?
We captured the 3 that ran away.
Good.
What is it? What's wrong? What? What? Aigoo.
He's the one who spied on their headquarters and informed us.
He should be recognized for his undercover work,
but he's now sleeping.
That's why he pretended to be ousted, to do this job.
Sir, someone's here from the Right Police Bureau.
Did you scour the area for the Bongseoni gang?
Ha! I needed decent information if you really wanted that.
You guys did a good job, but gave us
false information and pissed us around.
False?
By the time we got there they were gone, leaving only the stolen goods.
What?
It seems like someone leaked the information.
It couldn't be.
Did you notice anything strange on the way?
What strange thing would occur on a shop lined street?
It was the same as usual except for the funeral bier.
Bier?
They pretended to hold a funeral.
So, this man's death was wasted.
Wh...what?!
Kim Kyeong Cheol...
I swear I will catch the Bongseoni.
So don't be disappointed and rest in peace.
Gu Ja Myeong and his men couldn't even dress in sables to send off their dead,
while the thieves wearing sables in their bier were...
This is fun playing dead.
You are smart. When did you get ready for this?
I was prepared, but without the urgent message, it would have been difficult.
Message? From where?
Leave all the funeral clothes, the bier and move to our second hideout immediately!
Yes, Sir.
Move quickly.
Victory! Victory! Victory!
Hey? Aish... let's start over.
Where are you going? I told you to hide yourself.
I need to go to the street market.
What for?
I need to find out what's going on.
Aren't you be afraid of the policemen?
They are now combing the streets for us.
Are you saying you're confident?
Being at Podecheong for so long, I've gotten close to them.
I want to find out what's going on with them.
And don't we need to figure out what we're going to live on anyway?
You're right.
Since we left in such a hurry, we weren't able to bring anything with us.
Fine, then. But you must be very careful.
See here. My other name is 'Careful. Wang Careful'.
The stupid Haedongcheong got blasted out of the water.
Now the Bongseoni rule Hanyang.
Bongseoni. Bongseoni. Ting Ho Wa.
But I need to meet Iljimae.
I have to take the gold away from him.
~ Closed ~
~ Tea ~
Oh my!
It's closed.
There were many customers in this Chinese style tea house.
Why are they closed?
Can we look around at other shops?
What shops?
Just to buy some delicious food.
Let's go. We've been inside all the time.
You leave at nights and I don't even see you coming back.
I am too bored. You're such a boring person.
Shall we go?
That's Iljimae.
Oh? That lady is...?
Look, it looks like you.
Now where did Seon Dal-nim go?
So much effort just to get this.
Hey, watch where you're going!
Ajusshi.
Give me just a spoonful of rice, please?
Won't you give me some?
You're all eating and won't give me any!
Just give me a spoonful of rice!
Oh, really!
Where do you think this is for you to yell like that?
Just give me one spoon of rice.
Aigoo. Just a beggar and here he is raising all this ruckus.
What?
What did you say just now?
How dare you come in here? Get out!
Look here! Even a beggar has honar!
Hmmph. What do you have?
Honar! Don't you know honar?
What a stupid idiot. He's worse at Korean than me. What do you mean honar. It's honor.
Get out of here before I throw dirty water on you!
Huh? What did you say you'll throw?
Look here woman! Don't you respect the elders?
You need a swift kick.
If I didn't lose my kid,
who knows if you would have become my daughter-in-law?
What? Me a daughter-in-law of such a beggar like you?
I can't tolerate this anymore.
Hey! You, standing outside the door! I'd like a word with you.
What? What do you want?
I have a favor to ask of you.
You look nice and strong, so you can carry my belongings.
If you do, I'll give you money, food, and drink.
That won't even be work.
- Here? - No, not there. Over there.
Aish! Not there. Towards the hand you eat with!
More. A little more. More. Right there!
- Stop. Right there, stop. - Okay.
Here?
Uh huh. Right at this very spot was... Iljimae.
Oh? You're talking nonsense again, aren't you?
No. I swear he was right here.
I finally found him, but you were so slow, moving like a sluggard.
Sluggard? What is this kid saying to an adult?
Where could he have gone? He was just here...
Where are we going?
Don't say anything and just follow me.
We're almost there.
This is the house. Wait here for a while.
Why bother to wait? I'll just drop the load and leave.
No. I said I'll pay you.
You bought me food already, you don't need to give me money, too.
I said to wait! I always keep my word!
Hold these!
You're at a den of thieves. Hurry, leave right away.
What are you talking about? Don't be silly.
How can that kind nobleman be a thief! No way.
Iljimae told me to tell you...
Wh... what? What did you say? You said Iljimae?
Come on.
Chief Ji!
Chief Ji, where are you?
Chief Ji!
He should be around somewhere. Where could he go?
Is that so?
What's wrong?
Just come here.
There's a beggar outside, I hired him as a porter. He now knows of this shelter so you need to kill him.
Really?
Don't get rid of him right there... do it in the woods, okay?
Okay.
Not even a rat here. Who am I supposed to kill?
You really know Iljimae?
Yes. He told me you're like a father who brought him up.
Why didn't he come?
He got something to do now.
He said he would find you right after finishing the job.
Go to the Book Dealer's at the marketplace tomorrow.
But for now, you should go to the Left Police Bureau.
To... whe... where?
- Go to the Left Police Bureau.. - And?
Show them the way to the house you were just at.
That house is a hideout for thieves.
Then the police can catch them all. Do you understand?
Yes, I understand. I understand.
Where do I go? You're all dead now...
You're saying he knows for certain?
There is someone here who knows their hideout?
Yes, this is the person.
Aren't you the beggar Geol Chi who used to carry a baby on your back 20 years ago?
Huh? You're the policeman!
Hey who are you calling a 'policeman?' He's the Chief.
A deputy chief? You were promoted?
Yes. So where's the hideout?
- Oh, I should have gotten it. - Once more.
We were just relieving some excess energy.
Good.
Oh, I need to see you for a moment.
- You brought a porter here and lost him? - Eh?
I didn't lose him. I told to wait him by the door so I could give him some money but he just left.
Why do you think he just left? I have a bad feeling.
I think we should check around.
Check out what? There's nothing...
- What're you looking at? - Shhhhh.
We were almost caught.
Let's go.
Why are you walking sideways?
That's why I am called Wang Hweng Bo.
I was so surprised that my old habit just came out.
Gu Ja Myeong is the most dreaful man for me.
This position is a bit embarrassing.
Oh, my word!
Wh... what's this all about?
Do not miss a single one. Arrest them all!
Yes, Sir.
- Arrest them! - Yes, Sir.
Look here!
If you see an old friend, you should greet him.
How can you just leave?
Thank you for that back there.
I had a feeling it was you who sent the beggar with the message of their hideout.
Iljimae.
You're that same Iljimae I know, right?
Did you meet your mother?
Do you know she's in Songdo?
Why do you pretend not to know anything?
You've mistaken me for somebody else.
Have I?
Yes.
Then why did you help me out back there?
You're the Chief of the Police Bureau...
how can you die at the hands of rubbish like thieves?
Was it only because of that?
Don't follow me.
If you continue to pester me, I will break your neck.
Hey! Iljimae!
Iljimae, wait!
He's over there.
Sir.
Did you put all of them down?
Yes. All those hiding inside the house were arrested.
You're denying being Iljimae?
No... his eyes flickered at the mention of his mother.
The Bongseoni got swept away?
Then it just became more difficult to find the gold.
It seems one or two got away...
I don't think we can take any action for a while.
Those dumb asses!
What a shame!
We shouldn't have trusted them.
What about Iljimae?
We'll locate him soon.
Hurry up.
We need to find the gold and prepare the goods before the deadline agreed with the Chinese merchants.
Yes, Sir.
Let's see here...
Now that the Bonseoni was swept away, we should be able to relax now.
How naive you are.
Don't forget the night thieves may have been caught, but the day goblin is still with us.
Seon Dal-nim, what is the day goblin?
It's just something.
You already know of it.
Do I?
But Seon Dal-nim, come to think of it,
because of the Haedongcheong and Bongseoni, Iljimae appeared from time to time.
Now he has no reasons to appear?
Well, is that how this story is developing?
No, you can't say that how it is.
If that's so, that will hinder our work.
That'll mean the story of Iljimae stops here.
Huh? You're right.
What are we going to do?
Do the two of us now have to pretend to be thieves?
Bae Seon Dal was in a dilemma and his mind was unclear.
Seon Dal-nim, we might have wasted our labour.
Hmm...
Is that really so?
By the way, I have a question.
What is it?
Iljimae rescued me once,
and I have done this since you wanted to, but...
why have you stuck to Iljimae so far?
Because he reminds me of my younger days.
Huh? Yours?
Were you like him when you were young?
No way.
You're right. It's because I wasn't like him.
Thank you.
He and I have nothing in common.
He is agile and keen.
But I was always weak and dull.
He wielded his sword and taught bad guys a lesson,
but I sat in my room reading books and sighed.
When I saw his sword gleaming and the starfish in his hand knock Bulgasari down,
I knew it was the thing I wanted to be.
I mean... he's the one I wished to be.
I understand what you're saying.
Actually, I also hope to
become like him whenever I see him.
So that's what it is.
Iljimae is the lost past for me,
but the unarrived future for you.
You're not like me,
so you can become like him.
Are you serious?
Of course.
Anyway, I had hoped Iljimae would work some more.
Is this really the end of him?
Could it really be?
Why?
Are you hungry?
No.
Wait just a little bit.
Wol Hee.
Hmm?
Why didn't you ask anything?
About what?
About me.
You didn't three years ago, and you aren't now.
You don't know who I was or who I want to be... nothing about me.
It's because I thought maybe there were things you can't tell me.
And because of that, you may leave.
There won't be anything that'll take me from you.
They say behind every thief is a bigger thief to make the thievery possible.
And, they don't wear masks, they don't work at night, and they don't hide at all.
This one!
Take it out!
Take him.
Why are you taking our cow?
It's ours!
Our cow, our cow!
Aigoo!
Look here, why are you taking our cow?
What's this fuss in this small and quiet town?
She looks so pretty, what's she saying?
She looks yummy. Let's go to a water mill, just you and me, okay?
Aigoo! Aigoo-na!
Ah, so refreshing.
Let go, you bastard!
It's in your interest to deal with Huh Nam Oh over the land,
but don't harass the innocent people.
If you don't like it, you guys need to collect the money,
otherwise you should pursuade Huh Nam Oh.
I won't go back before I buy the land.
What law on earth makes that possible?
There is, right here.
You bastard!
This old one doesn't seem to know about life,
so why don't you teach him?
Yes, Sir.
Let go.
Aigoo! Aigoo!
- They're killing him. - Please save him.
Stop. Stop it. I will sell the land.
Are you sure?
Sure.
No, you shouldn't.
I can't give a hard time to people because of my rubbish property.
Look here, don't you know what that land represents?
Then you pay me 50 nyang per unit.
Hmm, after I look around the land, it's too expensive. How about 1 nyang per unit?
What?
I can't pay you more!
So law is useful, only for the powerful kind?
Give him the promissory note.
Yes, Sir.
When you bring these to my house,
I will exchange them for money.
Here it is.
Here, here!
So swoop through!
- What a delicious morsel. - Get her!
Oh, the one that got away.
- Listen to what I have to say. - He has something to say.
Among you, who did the most work today?
Ah, well that would be me!
I got hurt in my hands when I broke the jars.
I am the one who chased that woman around the house and turned things upside down.
- What are you talking about? - Shut up. I'm the one who harrassed the old lady.
Be quiet!
Since you're all claiming to be the one, I can't tell.
I will just dole out the rewards fairly
so tonight, let's just drink up!
Yeah! Here, here! Here's the drink, Sir.
I'm sorry you had to wait.
Oh, those beings over there. Aigoo.
- What's going on? - Please enjoy.
There are others here besides us?
Hyung-nim, let me pour you a drink.
Isn't that a girl?
Oh, you're leaving already?
Darn, it's a guy after all.
It's a man. Quite good looking. Shit.
Must be damn popular among girls.
He's got different genes from what we have.
Stop it. Let's call it a day.
When we awake from this drink, we'll drink again.
Come on. Let's empty our glasses!
You're the best, Sir!
Isn't he the one we saw in the pub?
Let's go.
Uh, yes. Yes.
Hey!
Did you say 'hey' to us?
I'll be right back.
How can you be so fearless, you.
Who do you dare to?
Get up!
Why there?
What insanity is this?
This imbecile!
Go get him and bring him before me.
Yes, Sir.
Oh! You bastard!
Me?
Yes, you.
Take your clothes off.
What?
Don't you understand the language?
I said, take off your clothes.
What kind of flea are you? Don't you know who I am?
Take it off when you're told to,
before I stain them with your blood.
You, too.
Quickly!
Your pants, too.
Look here, you!
Huh?
This can't be happening. You must have mistaken us.
Don't you know who we are?
I know.
I know all too well.
You know?
I know you're just dogs that seek out the vilest deeds to act out on.
What? Dogs?
Wh... what are you going to do with us?
You're just as animals with human masks,
so what do you need clothes for?
- Aigoo... - Aigoo, what? Our clothes.
Huh?! What is this here?
It's a land sale transaction contract.
You don't need things like this, either.
- Aigoo, my clothes. - You're worried about your clothes right now?
Oh! They're burning!
Aigoo!
- Aigoo, my clothes. - They're burning... what are we?...
Save that land sale contract!
Someone save us.
Farewell.
- Untie us before you go! - Untie us!
- Oh, my! - Aigoo.
- What to.. - Oh my...
- Our clothes.. - Oh, no!
- Oh, Sir... - My clothes...
- Save my clothes.. - Oh,
I was born and grew up here,
and now I shall be able to return.
Sir.
There is something I must say to you.
What about?
I would like to return this to you.
What is this?
Did Yoon Bang return this to me?
He's not that kind of man.
Then..
Don't say anything and keep this safe.
And the promissory note from Yoon Bang, give that to me.
~ Book Dealer ~
Ugh. What's taking him so long?
It's already afternoon.
Hello! Ajusshi.
You're the lady.
Where's Iljimae?
He still has to work.
Instead, he told me to give you this.
What's this?
With this, you can get 470 nyang.
470 nyang?!
This piece of paper is worth 470 nyang?!
If someone asks who gave you this, tell him it's Huh Nam Oh, not Iljimae.
Why would that man give this to me?
I am a beggar, I don't need money.
I only need Iljimae.
Well...
Where are you going to live after meeting Iljimae?
You need a house.
So you can buy one with that money.
Ah! That makes sense. Okay.
To live with Iljimae, I need a house to live in.
Let's buy a house. A house.
A house where we can eat together...
If you want to buy one, buy mine.
I just happened to have put my house up for sale.
Really?
You gave me money and you're selling your house?
You must be an angel.
Wish you were my daughter-in-law.
Let's go to the house to take a look.
Look around carefully and if you want to buy, feel free to come back.
Then I'll just have a look.
I will give the large room to Iljimae, and another to you,
and I'll use the last one.
It's far from the large room, so you'll be okay.
Can I look around the room I will use?
No, you can't. Not that room.
I'm using it at the moment.
You know a woman's room has secrets.
I almost made a huge mistake.
Okay, then I will get the money.
Yes.
Well, let me go get the 470 nyang.
Hey, beggar's son. Will'ya have sumpin to eat?
You've already learned the dialect?
I should take after the father-in-law, right?
Father-in-law?
Geol Chi, being a walking navigator about Hanyang
arrived at Yoon Bang's house momentarily.
Seeing the interior of the house, he thought it might be easier to get lost inside the house than outside.
Hey! I've come to get my money.
Isn't anyone here?!
Who is this beggar?
How dare he come to his house and beg?
He may upset further our Master whose nerves are on edge. Send him away.
I came to receive my money here.
Give me 470 nyang.
You want to die?
Get out of here!
Go away before I break your leg.
Why do you still stand there looking at us?!
Want a few smacks?
What are you talking about?!
I came here to get my money. And you want to beat me?
Go... go away!
Shut up! Are you guys insane or what?
Our Master is already jumpy from shock and is lying down,
how dare you raise this kind of ruckus?
- Ignorant fools. - What did you say?
Are you the Master? Give me my money
for this.
Oh the smell... come inside.
See?
My clothes if you burn my clothes. No, you can't...
the land deed, if you burn the deed...
Oh, butler.
Are you awake? Don't be afraid now.
Ah... yes.
By the way, Sir...
some beggar came with this promissory note you gave to Huh Nam Oh
and is demanding his money.
What? Beggar?
Why a beggar?
I guess Huh Nam Oh gave it to the beggar in a fit of anger because it's too small.
Damn it! I won't give the money!
Aigoo! Aigoo!
What about the money?
Beat him up.
Wh... what? What are you doing?
Why are you doing this?
Come with us!
Get the note from him and throw him out!
Yes, Sir.
Damn it! Why punch my eyes?
- What's with the eyeballs of all things. - Hey.
Who is it?
Oh, it's the policeman. I mean the Chief!
What happened to your eyes?
My eyes?
I see.
Then tell the guy to return the note and
I will pay him.
The note?
Right, I should have...
it if I'm to pay.
That... he said
you took it from him.
No, not in a million years.
He took it with him.
Am I a person that would do that?
- But.. - I don't want to hear! Go now!
I was beated so hard, how could I have kept the paper?
They surely took it from me.
I am sure about Yoon's evil intentions but we can't do anything without the note.
Then... I can't have my money?
Is anyone out there?
Did you call for me?
Damn you servants!
Did you forget the water?
Give me cold water!
Yes, Sir.
Oh my! Gh... gh...
A ghost!
It's a ghost!
What did you say?
Did you say a ghost?
Where, where! Ha?!
Where, where's the ghost?
What'd you mean, g...g..ghost?!
Did you say there was a ghost?
Just an instant ago, a ghost... a black figure pushed me aside and took off!
What?
Say it clearly.
It went into that woodpile.
- A ghost did? - Yes, a ghost.
- A ghost! - A ghost! It is!
Hey, hey, hey! Go and see.
Look carefully... look...
Huh? All the papers are gone!
What is this?
Isn't this a blossom?
It's not a ghost but a thief.
T...thief. Tt...hief!
Go and look!
I said, go and take a look!
Oh no.. No way.
Okay, this won't do. Let's clear the space first!
Th... th... there he is! There he is!
It really is him!
Get a ladder. Climb up and get him.
Yes, Sir.
Where's Gom Soi?
I'm here.
You climb up and drag him down.
Yes, Sir.
Right, just like that.
You bastard! You've come to a wrong place.
It's you that have climbed to the wrong place.
What do you mean?
Wh... what are you doing?
What would happen if I pushed this off?
No... you shouldn't.
Hey... hey. Don't! Don't! My brother, please don't do it
I am just here to talk to you due to my Master's command.
It would be impolite of you to do this.
Help me! Please save me!
What a fool!
Everyone, surround the house!
- Surround him! - Let's surround him!
You! What is your name?
I am called Iljimae.
Iljimae.
There's no way out for you now so
come on down here.
H.. how can it be?
Sir, we will put the carriage down.
Yesterday the house of Lord Yoon Bang was robbed.
Yoon Bang?
And they're saying the the name of the thief is Iljimae.
What?
They are black and blue.
They ruined my good looking face.
If Iljimae sees this, he will be brokenhearted.
You're only going to look at the house but not go through with any transaction?
You didn't buy the house but you're still waiting for Iljimae?
Ah, that's because...
Well, what to say.
Oh my! What's this?
It must have fallen from your bosom.
You should be more careful.
Huh? Oh my!
Was this here?
Hey! I'll be by soon to buy the house.
Officer! Officer!
- Stop there! - Officer!
Officer! Officer! Officer! Officer!
Oh, officer! Officer!
What happened?
See this! Th... this was inside my bosom!
How did this, stolen just last night, fall into the hands of the Deputy Chief ?
Sir!
Should I try and find out exactly what happened?
How can we do that, knowing my involvement in this?
Then how shall I handle this?
How will you spend the money?
Huh? Didn't I say I will buy a house for me and Iljimae?
Okay. Where will it be?
I have a house in mind.
Then take good care!
Yes, of course. Farewell.
Be careful with the money. And when you see Iljimae, please be sure and let me know.
Of course. Of course.
Do you want me to follow him?
No. Not just yet.
Hey! I came here to have this house.
Give me this house!
Hey, I brought money, don't you know?!
Give me this house immediately!
Y..you... y..you...
You're Iljimae.
Aigoomoni! You fool!
Aigoo...goo.
Are you really Iljimae?
Are you really him?
Aigoo... Thank you! Thank you!
You're here.
Su Ryeon, are my clothes decent?
Why would you care about your clothes?
Uh... no reason.
After the thieves case was closed, Gu Ja Myeong was able to take holidays.
He was heading for Gaesung.
If you don't mind, may I ask who you're going to meet?
A gisaeng called Baek Mae living in Gaesung.
She is actually Iljimae's mother.
Iljimae's mother?
Come here.
You've come back.
Did you starve today, too?
Pitiful one.
Where's your mom and you come alone all the way?
Is anybody here?
Who are you?
Don't you know me?
We've met in the ginseng field once, and before then we've met in Hanyang.
Please stop.
You don't need to say any more.
So what do you want from me?
If you don't have anything to say, please just go.
Anything that men have to say, it's all the same.
Aren't you being a too rude to someone who's traveled far to see you?
Oh, you're a girl?
Lunch time is up so I need to get back to work.
The day is short so I don't have time to dawdle.
Baek Mae.
I come here to tell you about your son.
Pardon me? What did you say?
Did you say my son?
Return of Iljimae ~ Volume 11 Moonlight Fight
What is missing?
You are... Iljimae, aren't you? Aren't you?
It's Iljimae! Quick. Call for Seo.
Call for Seo!
Jump, Iljimae!
The place that I'm dreaming of
is the place where my love is.
When I look into his face full of affection
I will smile to my heart's content.
My love, the one I love
don't let me go.
My love, the one I love
whisper into my ears.
Loving me the most
and laying everything down.
My love, the one I love.
