TALE OF THE NINE TAILED

EPISODE 9

-Tastes just right.
-By the way, where is it?

The guardian stone and the golden ruler.

I'm only asking because I'm worried.

They'll be rushing in any day now.

Red-white mask and the Governor-General.
I'd hate to get caught up in all that.

Fine. I'll leave Myoyeongak
with the stone and the ruler, then.

So… where did you put it?

You…

hid those in my room?



Is there a safer place in Myoyeongak?

Can you give that to me?

My time travel started…

with this guardian stone.

Hong-joo, I can't go home without this.

That's why I will wipe out anyone
who gets in my way.

-Even me?
-Even you.

Can you handle it?

I'm going to the Bando Hotel.

Either Moo-yeong or the Governor-General,

tell whoever wants this
that I'll be at the Bando Hotel.

Because I don't intend to hide or run.

Hey, Moo-yeong.

You seem well, drinking in dire times.



Lee Yeon, how are you here?

Enough of that.
Let's give you a beating first.

You bastard.

Gosh, damn it.

How does it feel?

How does it feel to beat each other
with these hands we once used

to support each other with?

You here to preach?

I'm here to see how I'd feel doing this.
It's not as refreshing as I imagined.

That makes two of us.

Just pour me a drink.

-What?
-For your information,

I didn't bring the treasures
you're looking for.

Safety comes first.

-You have a guest, sir.
-Who is it?

It's been a while, demons.

To what do I owe the pleasure
of having Myoyeongak's Madame here?

I hear four new kids are sweeping
the Gyeongseong grounds.

-They're called Shinigami.
-Shinigami?

Which means the god of death?

Gosh, I don't like it.

But why come to me
instead of paying them a visit?

-Well, you brought them here.
-Oh, my.

You truly are the most informed in Joseon.

What do you want?

Mercenaries or whatever.
I'm not interested in all that.

You're looking for the treasures,
aren't you?

If I help you get them,
what will you give me in return?

-What is it you want?
-Don't mess with Myoyeongak, or my girls.

So you're willing to join hands
with me to protect Myoyeongak?

So much for a mountain god of Joseon.

I never start a losing fight.

I'll ask you just once.

You in or out?

You plan to revive your brother
with the treasures?

-You crazy fool.
-Didn't your brother die in the year 2020?

If you had those items then,

-what choice would you have made?
-I would've been tempted.

But I'd make the same decision
if I were to face that moment again.

I'd wait for him to reincarnate,
and fight to gain virtue.

That's nothing new to me.

You always play by the book.

But that's exactly why
I became a mountain god.

I don't cross the line at any cost.

Say you turn into stone,
neither alive nor dead for centuries.

Then, that sort of crap is useless.

You chose that path.

If you break the taboo
and annihilate an entire mountain,

you should be prepared to pay.

-I am prepared. Back then and now.
-That's what matters.

Do your best to take the guardian stone
and the golden ruler from me.

And save your brother.

I'll risk my life to protect the treasures
and fight against you.

So today's the last time…

we drink together.

Thanks for the drinks.

-I'm going to the Bando Hotel.
-Let me ask you one thing.

What was I to you?

As you know, I was a perverse kid.

So self-centered too.

You taught me
how to fight to protect someone.

I wanted to be a mountain god like you.

How funny.
You always seemed to shine back then.

You were fearless
and always made your own decisions.

You… were my dream.

I guess that's why we were friends.

I'll get going.

-Will you hand over the treasures?
-Do you think I'm out of my mind?

The treasures are mine.

-Then why cooperate with him, ma'am?
-I'm trying to buy some time.

I want him to sit tight
while I take the treasures.

-Do you think he fell for it?
-No.

He's stronger and cleverer than expected.

-I might even take a hit.
-Are they worth all that trouble, ma'am?

Is it worth antagonizing the governor,
involving Lord Lee Yeon and--

Jae-yoo, say I get my hands on them.

Then, Yeon can't go home.

If all else fails,

we will leave this dreadful era
with the guardian stone,

and run off to a new world.

So starting now…

let's enter the eye of the storm.

Father.

Where have you been?

I got some clothes
at the department store. Oh, right.

I also got a tie for you.

Good. I'll wear that to your wedding.

My wedding? What are you talking about?

Get married and quit being a reporter.

Whom will I marry?

Your brother-in-law.
The ceremony will be this Sunday.

That's insane.
You must've lost your mind, Father.

Sis killed herself
after getting married to him!

Answer me.

The day the commander died
in the Gyeongseong Station bombing,

where were you?

Answer me!

Don't you already know?

You're right. I was there.

If only I had both my daughters…
I wouldn't have missed.

Honey, honey, please!
Please, let's talk instead!

No activists are welcome in my house!

Why did you do it?

We did everything for you, and yet--
The independence movement?

He's mistaken, huh? Tell me it's not true!

Sorry, Mother.

Ginko.

I'm not Ginko.

My name is Sunwoo Eun-ho.

Are we getting anywhere?

There are no survivors yet.
The longest to endure was about two days.

All their eardrums burst, so…

-Is it due to the gwiso tree?
-Yes, sir.

GWISO TREE
A HAUNTED WHISTLING TREE

WHERE THOSE WHO HEAR IT GO MAD

Injecting them with the sap of this tree
messes with their heads.

The problem is that they die
when they hear the whistles, no?

I apologize, sir.

If you don't obtain good results,
the next test subject…

will be you, Akira.

I will definitely make it a success, sir!

Did you call for us?

You have a new mission.
Bring me the nine-tailed fox's treasures.

Can I bring you the treasures
and keep the nine-tailed fox perhaps?

She's speaking nonsense, sir.

You saw him up close. What was he like?

He uses his head
like a well-oiled machine.

He was fighting a losing battle,
but he turned the tables in an instant.

He is a mountain god of Joseon.

You think you can handle him?

Leave it to me, sir.

-He'll be going to the Bando Hotel.
-Yes, sir!

HANGMYEONOK NOODLES

You dare summon the owner
of the Stream of the Dead?

Have a bowl of naengmyeon.

Here, try some.

What do you think?

It's nice and refreshing, but…

What is your motive?

Japanese demons are wiping out
our indigenous gods.

You think my thousand-mile eyes
are just for decoration?

Let's be honest.
You're frustrated too, aren't you?

You hate that you can only watch as
the invaders turn everything to ruins, no?

We do not interfere in human affairs.

That is the rule.

But, like you said, I don't belong here.

I'm just a traveler
passing through this era.

What are you planning now?

I'm going to kill all the Japanese demons
before I go home.

You only need to hush yourself
until you return, but how--

It's something only I can do.
And something I should've done before.

I have a debt to settle
in this era, old hag.

I'll take that as a "yes."

Is this it?

The reason my future self
sent Yeon to this era.

Gosh. It's almost time to say farewell
to this landscape too.

D-4 DAYS

You're suddenly going to a hotel?
What about me?

-You don't need to come.
-What?

Everyone will swarm to the place
for the guardian stone and golden ruler.

It's safer to stay away from me for now.

-Damn it.
-You're so annoying.

You also looking down on me
because I'm a half-fox?

-Me?
-Then, why don't you turn to me once?

I want to. I'd like to depend on you too.

But you're my only weakness here.

If you get hurt again,
I will lose it this time.

I'm not the kid you used to piggyback.

The least you can do
is let me decide my own path.

You don't have much time left, no?
Don't regret it later on.

Fine, let's go together.
You stick right next to me.

-All right! Let me go!
-Lord Lee Yeon!

-Go away!
-Yeah?

How nice.

-She says to have a farewell party.
-Hong-joo?

Yes, and this is for you.

-Information on the Japanese demons.
-Right.

-Why me?
-I picked you to marry from the start.

But your sister brought it on herself,
when she said she'd marry me instead.

I don't know where,
and what rumor she heard,

but she already knew

that I'm not one of the good guys.

That's why she married you in my place?

Perhaps she wanted
to protect her only sister, though…

she couldn't protect her own life.

You killed her, huh?

Well, your sister saw things
she shouldn't have.

That's why she died.

I'll kill you!

A new bride shouldn't be carrying guns.

I won't marry you to save my life.

But you will.

What's with the long face?

-I got cut before the preliminary rounds.
-How come?

A gisaeng from Pyongyang, and an actress
who models for some soap, got picked.

But they said they wanted a singer…

-Get in.
-I don't feel like watching a movie.

Let's go see something else, then.

Wow, it's the ocean!

It's been so long
since I've smelled the ocean.

You like it that much?

I missed it.

So much that I even heard the sound
of waves in my dreams.

How did you think to bring me here?

I may not know much about women,
but I felt a mermaid would miss the sea.

Like how I sometimes miss the forest
from when I was with Lee Yeon.

I've forgotten all about getting cut.

Let's walk together.

Must you really fight?

Unlike you, I don't like Joseon.

I don't have many good memories of
being born as a half-blood, either.

But for the first time, there's something
I want to protect on this ravaged land.

Then let's fight together.

-You can't.
-Rang.

If something happens to you,
I won't be able to live a single day.

I've been on the brink of death
countless times.

And I survived every time.

As long as Lee Yeon's with me,
I will never die.

That's what it must feel like
to have a sibling.

I, too, had a family once.

I'll be your family, then.

Really?

Once everything is solved,
I'll quit the gang and find a new job.

Well, should I just open a record label?

I'll hold you to that.

-What are you asking me to sell?
-A Myoyeongak brunch.

To increase sales,
you must diversify the menu.

Give off a trendy vibe.
Offer delivery services too.

This is a high-end restaurant.

In the future where I'm from,
even Michelin restaurants deliver food.

-Who's doing the deliveries?
-Yeah, who?

Use my guys from the bandit gang.
They're fleet-footed, you know.

-You're quitting the bandit gang?
-It's a thought.

Wow, I'm so proud. Here, have a drink!

There's a good boy.

Who came during the day?

-I had a drink with Lee Yeon.
-What?

To declare war.
We've really become enemies now.

Don't get swayed, Moo-yeong!

If that were possible,
I wouldn't have come so far.

You must kill Lee Yeon
and get your hands on the treasures.

But Ho-yeong…

Back then…

Why did you try to kill me?

I told you, I wasn't in my right mind.
It was all Taluipa's doing.

To prevent our tiger clan
from gaining power.

-To annihilate us--
-No, I don't understand.

Taluipa dearly cared for me.

Then, would she have turned you
into stone to rot?

She needed a hostage from the start.
That's why she raised you to be a god.

Okay. I'll retrieve all that we've lost.

That's my little brother.

I'll bring the guardian stone
and the golden ruler.

Move. That's my seat.

-What are you doing?
-There are seats in the back.

Let's go.

Didn't we have
a farewell party last night?

I spent all night thinking,
and concluded I can't let you go just yet.

-It rips my heart to shreds.
-Say that again.

What about Myoyeongak?

Temporarily closed.
Everyone's coming to the hotel.

I booked your rooms too.

Let's get going.

-I'll check us in. Take a look around.
-All right.

This looks better than I thought.

-Your name, ma'am?
-Don't you know me? It's Ryu Hong-joo.

Four rooms for ten guests, correct?

I want them all next to each other.

The upper floor looks cool too.

I'm so sorry, sir.

What's this?

"The technique of hypnotism"?

We're the best hypnotism society
in all of Joseon.

This book is where our president
exposes the secrets of the Heavens.

-Buy me one.
-It's all a scam, you brat.

It's not a scam!
If you learn the art of hypnosis,

you can heal all diseases
and even communicate with ghosts.

You can even create
a thunderstorm in the clear sky.

-Gosh.
-This guy can do that, you know.

-Pardon?
-Who would ever believe this stuff?

Hey, get back to work.

Stop!

Geez, you ignorant bastard.
It's your damn shoes!

Why are you cursing, all of a sudden?

No, I'm telling you. It's your shoes!

It's good manners to take off your shoes
when entering a hotel, you know?

I knew that, okay?

-No, wait--
-Oh, boss! Boss!

Damn it.

-Why did you take off your shoes?
-Is this your first time in a hotel, huh?

These are proper manners.

Look. They're all wearing shoes,
except for you.

-Who told you that?
-Koo Shin-ju…

Why you sly little-- Come here!

Hey, everyone.

-The fox brothers are in Room 304.
-Okay.

-And you?
-Room 301.

See you later, baby.

Well, she came here determined.

Don't let your guard down.
It will be a bloody night.

HAIR SALON

The Bando Hotel, please.

OBOK BOUTIQUE

How do I look?

Yuki is pretty.

Is that all you can say?

Isn't there anything raunchy and dramatic?

I'm going to a hotel today
to meet a freakin' handsome demon.

What exactly are you guys?

What do you mean "what"?
We're demons just like you.

What is her original form?

A water snail bride.

Water snail bride, what are your talents?

Sewing and cooking. That's all.

Should I drag her out?

Did I practice singing too much?
My throat is burning.

Ma'am!

-What's going on? What happened?
-I was almost taken by a Japanese demon.

A Japanese demon?

For the time being,
don't go out recklessly.

-Where did they go?
-They've all flocked to the Bando Hotel.

The Bando Hotel? Rang is there.

I'll be right back.

You can't go!

Yeo-hee!

Oh, wow!

Wow! It's a bed, a hotel bed!

BANDO HOTEL, ROOM 302

-Wow.
-This hotel!

There's even soap in the room!

You think that's all?
This room costs a fortune!

-How much is it?
-I'm guessing around a month's salary.

What's that? Is it kimchi?

Apricot, who brings kimchi to a hotel?

I heard they only sell Western food,
so I packed some just in case.

Gosh, it's not my fault
if they treat us like hillbillies.

Hey, hey! This is theft!

BANDO HOTEL, ROOM 303

-My job is to thieve. Let go!
-Gosh, what are you doing?

Let go. I'm just doing my job.

That's right. Wow!

Stop it. That's enough!

The painting.
Hey, leave me be-- The painting-- Whoa!

-Oh, why can't I take this off?
-Paintings aren't amenities, seriously!

-I'll be in the Madame's room.
-Jae-yoo, help!

Hey, you bastard!

Let go. Let go. Let go.

Hey, don't forget our objective here.

-You think I'm stupid?
-Yeah.

Was it right to bring the gisaengs here?

BANDO HOTEL, ROOM 301

The Governor-General would've got to them
if they knew I left Myoyeongak.

-You all should stay right by me.
-What is your plan?

I'll snatch the treasure
while Yeon and Moo-yeong are fighting.

Until then, you go and have fun.

-What's this?
-It's an invitation to our society's--

Get lost.

Lee Yeon, it's over now.

BANDO HOTEL, ROOM 403

Nyudo.

Nyudo! Let's hurry and go catch them.

Let's go! Let's go!

We start work at sundown.
Those are the boss's orders.

In that case,
maybe we should rest while we can?

Coming in.

Rang. Do you want to come with me?

-Where to?
-Where I come from. The future of Joseon.

There is no gunfire or war there.

-No Japanese invaders either.
-I can't go.

Because of the mermaid lady?

Be good to that mermaid lady.

Protect her with your life.

A nine-tailed fox's first love
is their last and final love.

All right, here.

I wanted to give it to you before I left.

-Rings?
-Yes.

It's my wedding gift to you
as your brother.

One for each of you.

We have quite a number
of uninvited guests.

I wonder how many of them
will make it out alive?

Do I look merciful to you?

D-3 DAYS

Gosh, this is so fun.
Let's go one more time.

-Hey, get back in.
-I can't-- I just can't.

-Jae-yoo, what's wrong?
-This man right here.

He thinks riding elevators is so fun,
he's made me ride it ten times!

Look here. He's weaker than he looks.

-Are you here for the lecture?
-No.

But you should come.

We're giving out free drinks, too.

Hypnotism?

They're giving free coffee.
Why don't we drink a cup each, huh?

-Let's drink. Drink.
-Come in.

You can sit right over there.
There at the end.

Whoa, so this is where you all were?

-The lecture started.
-Fine. I get it.

HYPNOTISM SOCIETY OF JOSEON

Bonjour, mademoiselle. Bonjour, monsieur.

Do you know who I am?

I'm the Hypnotism Society of Joseon's
president, Christian Park.

I'm glad to meet you all

-at a rendezvous like this.
-Bravo.

You are a torchbearer in the Olympics.

Amidst the ardent cheers of the crowd,
you appear with the torch…

to relay it right now!

-What?
-Oh, wow!

Okay, look here.

As you can see,
hypnotism isn't some lousy technique.

It's not magic either.

It's a medical practice for the psyche
all the way from Europe.

Wow.

All right.

What happened?

When you are under hypnotism,
you can become anything.

You become someone that you are not!

-They're all in on it.
-What do you know?

He says it's a new medical practice
from Europe.

Now, who wants to try it out
for themselves?

Oh, me!

What should I transform
these beautiful mademoiselles into?

-Put all your valuables in here, now!
-What's all the fuss?

I'll cut your throat
if I find you hiding anything.

Honey, call the police!

Her brother is a cop, damn it!

Boss, you should cut her finger off
to set an example.

-You crazy bitches!
-Hey, hey!

Hey, hey! What's wrong?
Are you girls drunk?

-Okay, let's go inside.
-Please help!

They must be drunk. Sorry about that.

This is our turf.

This isn't the place
for the Madame's chick to butt in.

-Chick? Huh?
-Don't interfere, or else!

-I might just bury you alive.
-Hey, got a smoke?

-Say wh--
-You're still wet behind the ears!

Can you see it?
Can you see if it's still wet or not, huh?

-Oh, my.
-I think they've all lost it.

I can't teach them a lesson either.
Just go get Hong-joo.

-Yes, Hong-joo.
-Just wait until she gets here.

-How dare you ask for a smoke!
-She's not here.

-Find Jae-yoo. Guys, will you stop!
-Jae-yoo. Find Jae-yoo!

Hey, come out here!

Hello?

I'm floating, I'm floating--
Float, float, float!

Are you levitating?

Man, this is weird.

I've hypnotized everyone I've seen today,
but how come I can't do this?

Maybe you used up too much energy.

Whatever the case, I think you're right.

We could have a good run today,
since the hotel's built on expensive land.

You must've gotten a spiritual awakening,
while scamming everyone.

-I'm floating, floating--
-Yes, you're floating.

-You're floating, floating.
-I'm floating, floating!

Did you mess with my henchman?

Who are you to talk so rudely--

-You prick!
-Let's talk!

-Now who the hell are you?
-Please, let's talk instead!

-I'm the only son in the family line.
-Damn it!

Hypnosis or not, just undo it.

Wait! Look at this pocket watch closely.

Why? You going to hypnotize me too?

You are now afraid of me.

Why would I be?

Since I've taken away your courage
through hypnosis. Three, two, one. Bam!

Gosh, seriously?

You think that will work on me?
Hurry up and undo it.

Since today's a special day,
the hotel's running wild with peddlers.

-Peddlers?
-Something like that.

-Are the preparations going well?
-You didn't have to come.

We're on the same side, no?
I'll help you with your treasure hunt.

No, you stay out of this.

I don't like you getting hurt.

I appreciate your concern,
but like I said, don't tell me what to do.

So how do we take the treasures?

I doubt Yeon will give it to us
without a fight.

I have a plan.

And what's that?

When the sun sets today…

You heard him, right?

Whatever happens here tonight,
stay out of it.

Take care of the girls.

Can't you take me with you?

Don't risk your life so easily.

Find someone worth risking your life for.

My apologies.

Excuse me.

-Are you here to play?
-Our excessive greed caused this disaster.

That's-- That's right.
We were on the lookout for anyone fishy.

-Just remove the damn makeup.
-Quickly. I can't look at you both.

-Oh, my-- Take them off over there.
-Sir.

MOO-YEONG - MERCENARIES
HONG-JOO - GIRLS - SHIN-JU

Let's gather.

JAE-YOO - LEE YEON

As expected,
everyone's here for the treasures.

Not just the Japanese demons,
but also Hong-joo and Moo-yeong.

-Anything on Hong-joo?
-She met Lord Moo-yeong earlier,

and hasn't left her room since.

-And Moo-yeong?
-He left just now.

-To where?
-How would I know?

The Japanese demons seem
to be staying put in their rooms.

Okay, our first target
is the Shinigami mercenaries.

The Japanese demons wreaking havoc
in Joseon these days.

MOO-YEONG 403 - MERCENARIES 404

Room 404.

I haven't gotten physical in so long.

-No. I do the hunting alone.
-What?

Research tells me they're quite strong.
You can't do it alone.

And what if the mountain gods chip in?

Four Japanese demons
and two mountain gods. It's six to one.

That's the real goal of this operation.

I'm not following at all.

Well, like you just said,
the mercenaries are strong.

It might be impossible for me
to face the four of them overnight.

But what if…

Hong-joo and Moo-yeong…

side with us?

What if this becomes

a battle between the mercenaries
and the mountain gods?

They're all going rabid for the items,
while Cheon Moo-yeong is out to kill you.

And Madame Ryu's priority is Myoyeongak.
She'd never oppose the Governor-General.

How's that even possible?

I will make it possible.

When will you begin?

When Moo-yeong comes back.

You may eat to your heart's content today.

What--

-Why are you here?
-Did you die too, comrade?

Well, that's quite a long story.

What happened to you?

That's not the problem.
Comrade Eun-ho is in danger.

She's being forced
to marry the Chief Commissioner.

-The man from the Government-General?
-That man knows everything.

-You know this man?
-No.

Stop slacking off and let him in.
The dead will come swarming in soon.

Yes, honey.

Wear this as you go.

It'll be fairly cold on your way
across the Stream of the Dead.

Who are you, comrade?

Whoever I may be…

It doesn't change the fact
that we fought for Joseon together.

My only regret is not seeing
the independence of Joseon.

You've had a good run.

Are you crying?

A god that oversees the dead
is crying over a human crossing?

I know, right?

I should be getting used to this by now.

These are difficult times.
For both the gods and the humans.

Still, keep yourself out of it.

Yeon will do it.

What? Yeon will? And you allowed it?

I doubt the world will turn upside down.

But for once, I want to place my bet.

That Joseon will win.

Cheon Moo-yeong is back.

Shin-ju, go outside now
and shut off the electricity at 7:00 p.m.

-Why?
-So the other guests stay in their rooms.

-The innocent should stay safe.
-Sir.

And the treasures?

Here.

I just tell the two mountain gods
that you wish to see them in Room 404?

Also, forget about fighting them.

-If you see that happening--
-Okay, I'll avoid them at all costs.

You.

If your boss gets so much as a nosebleed,
I will go berserk.

I understand, sir.

Lee Yeon wants to see you in Room 404.

Rang.

I looked everywhere for you.

-Why are you here?
-The Japanese demons came to the boutique.

What? Are you hurt?

I'm fine, but I heard they all came here.

I was worried about you, so…

You can't be here.

No.

Excuse me.

They were definitely here.

They never left this room either.

One of them knows
how to use the illusion charm, huh?

ILLUSION CHARM - CHARM CREATING
AN ILLUSION LIKE REALITY

Where are you?

You cunning bastard.

What's with the power outage
in such an expensive room?

What's that noise?

Apricot, you go ask the concierge
to switch our rooms.

The hallway lights are out too.

Excuse me.
Is the power out in your room too?

-Hey, why is it so dark?
-Watch your step.

Oh, dear.

President, sir!

Get off, off!

What's going on?

-Those things respond to noise.
-What was that girl just now?

A Yacha.

The demon that feeds on humans?
Why is such a thing in this hotel?

You will be fine.

Do not leave this room until I call you.

-Sir, please wait--
-Move.

What's that? You okay, miss?

What on earth is that monster?

A human that fed on a Yacha's flesh
and blood for a fortnight.

With her memories gone,
she's like any other Yacha.

-A monster that only thirsts for blood.
-Why sacrifice the innocent?

If Taluipa finds out--

I'll deal with that.
You didn't know about this, okay?

Yeon is in that room.

Damn it, where are you?

Gosh, seriously.

You came alone? Where's Hong-joo?

This forest. Is this your doing?

Not me, no.
The hotel's got some uninvited guests.

Do you even have time for this?
Clueless about your brother, huh?

What did you do to him, huh?

-I freed a Yacha at the hotel.
-A Yacha?

Your brother must be quite busy now.

He bumped into his girlfriend
as the guests turned into Yachas.

-Gosh. How did you become so twisted?
-Well, I have nothing to protect.

Hand over the treasure
if you want to save your brother.

-No.
-What?

Though he's a half,
he's still a nine-tailed fox.

He's not as weak as you think.

Especially with a woman to protect.

It can't be helped then.

I'm not here to fight you.

But who cares who I fight first, right?

Bring it on.

A hibari.

It's a hibari chirping.

What was it in Korean?

Skylark, you idiot.

You just had to choose this picture, huh?
We can't even see where he is.

-Lee Yeon must've fell for it, right?
-This is the boss's illusion charm.

He may be a clever nine-tailed fox,
but he won't be escaping this.

Let's go catch the nine-tailed fox.

Wait for the boss to come.

Hey, can I have one?

We're letting the boss have all the fun?
But we waited all day!

The target isn't him.
It's the treasures he has.

Must we yield such valuables
to the Governor-General?

We have to follow orders.

Treasures or whatever, I don't care!

I want to play with the nine-tailed fox!

-I'm telling the boss on you.
-So petty.

Ushiuchibo?

Where are you going?

Number one.

Kids.

The treasures are mine.

Damn it, really!

My goodness!

Oh, shit-- Hey, you go that way.

What am I, your underling?

You and your complexes.

Ouch!

Hey, stay down for a while.

-Hey!
-Sorry.

Hey!

Hong-joo!

Hey, what's wrong? What is it?

My leg. I think my leg is broken.

You're hurt? Where?
Your leg or your ank--?

Our dear Moo-yeong's weakness is me!
Sorry about this.

Thank you.

No! Oh, shit!

Damn it.

Damn it! Hey, you little--

-Damn it! Whose side are you on?
-You just smashed my head with a boulder.

Why the timid attitude, tiger?

Hey! Bring it.

As if! You really wanna try me, huh?

Guys.

Don't breathe!

-Quit playing games.
-Hurry. Look behind you!

One of them has crawled out at last.

TALE OF THE NINE TAILED

Hand over the treasures.

Yeo-hee!

Then I'll spare their lives.

You won't die. I won't let you.

The mercenaries will come on his call.

I'll be the bait.

-This represents my love.
-Hey, hey!

The pistil of an iris.

Will that work?

It's in the hotel restaurant!

Now we rattle them from this side.

Strangely, I have a bad feeling.

-Are you the boss?
-I like you.

-What?
-It means,

I'm a body-switching demon.

I got you.

Being a mountain god of Joseon
means nothing.
