Six Flying Dragons (2015–2016): Season 1, Episode 1 - Episode #1.1 - full transcript

OUTSKIRTS OF GAEGYEONG

It's hard to come across someone
who shares their food these days.

What's there to life?
You have to share with others.

Do you come to Gaegyeong often?

Well, I'm here every ten days.

I haven't been here for eight years.
Has it changed a lot?

Throughout eight years,
it has changed indeed.

For the worse, I'd say.

The three
jerks in the Deliberative Council

take advantage of the ones in the middle.

And the ones in the middle
take advantage of the commoners,



so the commoners have to take advantage
of beggars to survive.

So, try not to offer your food
to other people.

Otherwise, beggars will come
from all over Gaegyeong to beg you.

That's why I brought this with me to eat
before I go into Gaegyeong...

Is that...

my food?

What's this?

If you come see me with this later,
I'll treat you to ten bowls of rice.

Hey, you crazy jerk!

I'm serious.

I'm telling you, I'm serious right now.

Hey! You crazy...

Come see me later!

-Hey, you jerk!
-See you later.



-I'm going now.
-Hey!

Who are you?

I've been waiting for you
for such a long time.

You waited for me?

Yes,

Master.

I never knew I had a disciple like you.

Then, has the man behind me
been waiting for me as well?

Pardon me?

I've waited for so long,

Sambong.

You...

You are...

You came too.

Do you...

know me?

I do, indeed.

I know you very well.

I don't know who you are.

Who are you?

Who are you?

Someone whose life
had been scammed by you.

I scammed someone whom I don't
know and I haven't even met?

Who are you?

I know both of you.

I know both of you very well.

Who are you?

That's right. Who are you?

My name is Yi Bang-won.

HAMJU, EIGHT YEARS AGO

Bang-won, don't follow me! It's dangerous!

Whatever, Bang-gwa!
I'm going to catch him!

Darn it.

Let's run and get him!

Bang-gwa! Get down!

YI BANG-WON

YI BANG-GWA

YI SEONG-GYE

Father, I caught him.

I told you to learn the Gaegyeong dialect.

Okay.

-Tie him up and bring him.
-Yes, Father.

We'll gladly do so.

Our father is Zant Gar.

Hey, that's a Mongolian word.

He doesn't want you to talk
in Mongolian or in northern dialects,

so why do you keep doing that?

I think that word is perfect for him.

What should I call him instead then?

Don't you think
that's the perfect way to describe him?

"The most powerful man in the world."

You're right.

If he is not Zant Gar,

who else would it be?

I saw the traitor running away,

so I started running after him
as fast as I could.

What about Young Master Bang-gwa?

He followed me.

Step by step,

I approached him
and caught him like this...

Bang-won.

Are you going to stop studying the books?

Is that your plan now?

I don't want to study.

I want to become someone like you.

Someone like me?

What do you mean by that?

You're a legendary archer
and a great horse rider.

And you win every battle you're in.

That's why the people love you.

All the people highly respect
and admire you.

So, I want to go to war like you and--

What is war?

You're asking me what war means?

War is...

Come with me.

Who sent you to spy on us?

Are you deaf?

Answer us!

This is the letter you were going
to deliver to the spy in Gabyeolcho.

GABYEOLCHO: YI SEONG-GYE'S MILITARY UNIT

This was sent by Yi In-gyeom, wasn't it?

I'm asking you if State Councillor Yi
is the one who sent you!

STATE COUNCILLOR: FIRST CLASS OF GORYEO

-Beat him up.
-Yes, sir.

Stop.

You

already betrayed me once.

If you confess who you work for,

you will be betraying someone once again.

Do not

betray anyone anymore.

I think

it's best to cut our ties here.

This is war.

No matter how you put it,

the fact that war kills people
doesn't change.

Look at you.

Were you shocked?

Were you scared?

I wasn't scared.

I was just a bit shocked.

General Yi is a very forgiving person,

but he doesn't forgive traitors.

That's right.

After Jo So-saeng,
he doesn't tolerate treachery.

You're talking about that traitor,
Jo So-saeng?

That jerk tried to run away

after putting all of his long-time
comrades in danger.

But afterward,

General Yi captured him.

Gosh, it is heartbreaking.

He was betrayed by someone
who was like his brother!

And then what happened?

What do you think? Jo So-saeng said,

"My comrade, please don't kill me."

-He begged and tried to run away.
-And then,

as he nocked his arrow, General Yi said...

"Don't call me your comrade."

And he released the arrow
towards Jo So-saeng

and killed him.

Our father is so amazing.

"Don't call me your comrade."

I really want to be like our father.

I will never forgive traitors.

Get out of my way!

Move! Where is he?

YI IN-GYEOM

-Why is Gil Tae-mi causing so much fuss?
-Sir! Get out of my way!

Sir!

Get out of my way!

What did I tell you?

When you announced that
you would invite Yuan's envoy,

I warned you about Jeong Mong-ju.

Didn't I tell you
he'd end up causing trouble?

What do you mean?

He frequently visited
the Empress Dowager's palace

and talked her into bringing Yi Seong-gye
into the Deliberative Council.

The King's order has already
been sent to Hamju.

What?

It must be Yi In-gyeom.

I'm convinced that Yi In-gyeom
sent him as a spy.

Why would Yi In-gyeom send a spy
all the way out here?

General!

General.

A messenger from Gaegyeong is here.

-From Gaegyeong?
-Yes, Young Master.

He brought an order from the King.

An order from the King?

Is that true?

Of course it's true.

The King has approved it.

General Yi Seong-gye will join the council
as one of the top officials.

I sent him a letter separately as well,

so he should be here before
our monthly meeting around the fifth.

That's great!

We can prevent forming diplomatic ties
with Yuan and avoid war too.

It's not because
Yi Seong-gye is so special.

If Yi Seong-gye comes here,
Choi Yeong could be on his side.

And if that happens,
Kyung Bok-heung could cut ties with us.

Right, I already warned you.

How many times did I tell you?

If this leads to the Empress Dowager
regaining her power,

the fact that you're in this position now

could mean nothing.

Moreover, what are you going to do
if they ally with the scholar-officials?

SAMBONG, JEONG DO-JEON

Sambong!

Sambong.

Have you heard the news?
General Yi Seong-gye will join us.

This was possible because you saw through
Yi In-gyeom's schemes the last time.

When General Yi joins us,
we can stop forming ties with Yuan.

We can prevent the war.

General Yi Seong-gye...

Don't trust him too much.

What?

What are you talking about?

He must be jealous of General Yi
and his achievements.

-I don't think Sambong meant it.
-Don't try to cover up for him.

He is full of himself
because you're too nice to him.

Sambong was the one who read
through Yi In-gyeom's schemes.

Sambong has never said anything wrong.

He's wrong this time.

It's because he's never met
General Yi Seong-gye.

Send this to Kanggye secretly.

-To Kanggye?
-Yes.

What are you planning to do?

The war has to be prevented.

We'll get ready so that
we can leave in three days.

You should go to Gaegyeong immediately

and let Master Poeun know
about my decision.

Tell Bang-u to get ready as well.

I'm coming with you too!

I'll come too!

We'll all be leaving together
in a few days anyway--

No!

I know that you won't bring me with you.

Bang-u went with you,
and Bang-gwa went with you too.

All of my brothers have gone with you,

but you won't let me
because I don't listen to you,

and I haven't learned the dialect.

I know that you're planning
to leave me here.

When I'm there,
I'll master the Gaegyeong dialect.

Well, if that's the case, I'll assist him.

If I had gone with my father,
I couldn't have enjoyed the scenery.

Yes, that's right.

You made the right decision!

By the way, why are you wearing
such colorful clothes?

Your clothes are as colorful as mine.

It's because I don't want
the Gaegyeong people to call me

the northern country boy.

Good job!

Let's go!

GAEGYEONG

All right, get into groups of two.

From now on,

you will go around the town
in groups of two

and find the country boy
who just came to town.

-Country boy?
-Country boy?

Darn it!

I'm talking right now!

Gap-bun, your mother gave birth
just a few days ago.

Why did she run away?

My mother didn't run away!

Boss...

Okay, fine.

Gap-bun, you should just go around
and beg for breast milk today.

You must feed the baby to stop the crying.

-Where did I stop?
-You stopped at "country boy."

By the way, what does it mean?

Does it mean kids like us
who just arrived in Gaegyeong?

No, you're not country kids.

You're just beggars
who are from the countryside.

Don't laugh, stop laughing.

Then who are they?

Listen carefully.

From now on, I'll tell you

exactly who you need to find.

Firstly,

they will be wearing colorful clothes.

-Colorful clothes?
-Colorful clothes?

And they will look tacky.

-Tacky?
-Tacky?

They will be clad
in tacky colorful clothes.

And they'll keep looking
around town like idiots.

Like this.

Like this.

We listened to you
and came to the beggars' hideout,

but do you really think
we can find our mother here?

We have to eat to survive.

Has there been a single day
that we had a proper meal

ever since we came to Gaegyeong
to look for Mother?

Then did we just join them for food?

You said that Mother
was taken to Gaegyeong,

so we spent the entire month
here looking for her.

We asked everyone
if they've seen our mother, Gan-nan.

There are so many women
with the name, Gan-nan.

We are not going to find
our mother with just her name!

Well, but...

But there's the song she sang that night.

If we can find someone who knows the song,

we might be able to find her.

Hey, listen to this.

Do you know this song?

What's that?

What kind of song is that?

You see?

We haven't met a single person
who knows this song.

No one knows this song!

Because this song is not well known,
if we can find the one who knows it,

that means the person knows our mother.

There's one more thing.

That day when Mother was being taken...

I saw this drawing
on the kidnapper's wrist.

Gap-bun, go and see
if you can get breast milk for the baby.

I'll make sure to find the country boy
and get some food for you.

-Okay.
-Get going now.

But where will we find these people

wearing tacky and colorful clothes
and looking around town like idiots?

Wait, over there.

They look tacky, don't they?

-Yes, they do.
-Very tacky.

Hey, I'll go and tell the boss.

Watch them, okay?

Okay.

I will check if they have fed the horse.

It's rice taffy.

Attention everyone, I brought
some amazing things from the West!

Feel free to browse!

Young Master, look at this!

Yeong-gyu.

Aren't these dead bodies?

Don't people in Gaegyeong

care to clean up and bury dead bodies?

-They have no families.
-Who are you?

Young Master,
how much do you think this will cost?

Young Master!

Young Master!

What? What happened to Young Master?

Well, he was just here
right next to me, but...

You should've paid more attention to him.

I'll go this way to look for him,
so go the other way.

Yes, sir.

Young Master!

Nice! Take this!

Take it!

Hey, you! Do you know who I am?

We don't care to know.

By the way, even his voice is tacky.

What?

Fine, laugh while you can.

You should laugh all you want now...

Young Master!

Young Master!

What did I tell you?

I told you all to laugh while you could.

All of you! Back off.

If you don't back off, you will all die.

Young Master, come this way.

Where's my mother?

You're the one who kidnapped my mother!

-What?
-You hid this over there.

The drawing on this letter!

A man who has this drawing
on his wrist kidnapped our mother!

This is the letter you were going
to deliver to the spy in Gabyeolcho.

This was sent by Yi In-gyeom, wasn't it?

Are you...

the traitor?

Chase him!

-Chase him!
-Chase him!

Go get him!

Bun-i!

What are you doing here? Go get him!

Are you okay?

Did you get hurt?

What are you doing now?
You should go after him too!

I have to get dressed first.

I'm so frustrated!
I'm so disappointed in both of you.

And we don't need to chase him.

Why not?

The fact that he hid the letter

means he was planning
to deliver it to someone.

But you two brought the letter.

So, where do you think he went?

I don't know.

Wouldn't he have gone to deliver
the letter to the recipient?

Who is the recipient?

Yi In-gyeom.

Is that so?

Then, let's go to Yi In-gyeom's house!

Lead the way.

Me?

I don't know where his house is.

You kids were talking earlier
as if you knew about it.

When did we do that?

Hey.

I know.

He's the one who lives in
the biggest house in Jungseung-dong.

You know where his house is?

Yes, I do.

I sneak in there sometimes to steal food.

Are you that concerned
about that country mouse coming here?

Just tell me now,

and I'll go bring his head
to you immediately.

GIL TAE-MI

Goodness, what is this?

This is so delicious!

My goodness, what is this dish?

I've never tasted
anything like this before.

It must be delicious.

It's the meat from a piglet
that was breastfed by a human.

Anyway, the Empress Dowager,
Kyung Bok-heung,

and General Choi Yeong
are all under your control.

So, you shouldn't be so worried
about Yi Seong-gye.

It's because I don't know.

What don't you know?

There are two ways to keep
someone under your control.

You can help him fulfill his desires
and get him on your side,

or you can find out what he's scared of
and what his weaknesses are

to make him be afraid of you.

But that man, Yi Seong-gye...

I don't know what his desires are
or what frightens him.

He has never expressed what he desires,

and he has never revealed
what frightens him either.

That's why I feel anxious

around Yi Seong-gye.

It's here.

If you go in here,
you'll get to the kitchen.

It's really big.

I told you we should just report this
to the authorities.

If you just listen to me,
I can get you rice cakes...

There are rice cakes right there!

What is this delicious smell?

Hey, we shouldn't be
eating these right now.

What is this dish?

How can it taste so...

Let's go.

I said let's go now.

Follow me!

Isn't that Gap-bun's mother?

Is anyone outside?

Someone sneaked in here

while I was out to see Tae-mi off.

Lock all the doors and find him.

Hurry.

-Yes, sir.
-Yes, sir.

What is this?

Ddang-sae.

What is this?

Why are these women breastfeeding piglets?

What if

that meat we had earlier was...

This is...

They give human breast milk

to piglets to make those dishes.

Gap-bun's mother

was brought here for this?

Wait for now.

If I tell my father,

he can destroy
this entire house in no time.

Everyone, go find him!

-Yes, sir!
-Run!

Over there! Get them!

You!

How did you get in here?

-Let go of me! Let go of me now!
-Come with us.

Let's see if we can find him here.

Come here.

You little rat.
How dare you sneak in here?

I found him!

I found him!

State Councillor, we found him.

He's just a beggar
who sneaked in to steal food.

We couldn't find any other intruders.

That's fine.

Teach him a lesson and kick him out.

-Yes, sir.
-Yes, sir.

You scum.

Where did you learn to steal, you beggar?

What are we going to do now? It's locked.

-Butler Song.
-Yes, sir.

Do you know

the story about Yi Seong-gye
and Jo So-saeng?

Well, I know that they used to be
close like brothers,

but Jo So-saeng betrayed Yi Seong-gye.

You're right. That's true.

That is what is known to people.

We will need to stage a play

according to what's written here.

Scum.

What a scum.

Young Master!

-Where have you--
-Get out of my way!

Gap-bun, as soon as
my father gets here, I will...

What happened?

What do you think?

The baby died.

We tried begging for breast milk,

but how could an infant
survive through this?

Why did Gap-bun's mother
have to abandon the baby?

Gap-bun...

They give human breast milk

to piglets to make those dishes.

Young Master!

Young Master!

Young Master.

Is that a man or a woman?

Lower the palanquin.

You are the top swordsman of Goryeo,
General Gil Tae-mi, right?

That's what people call me.

I defeated Hong Ryun.

I'm glad to meet you,
General Yi Seong-gye.

I heard that you're a master archer.

By the way, what brings you here?

Right,

State Councillor Yi In-gyeom

will host a large banquet
to celebrate your arrival.

It will be held tonight at Dohwa Hall.

You're going to come, right?

You should come.

Anyway, I've delivered the message to you.

What did you just say?

Baek Geun-su was the spy?

That's not all.

They kidnapped women who recently
gave birth to breastfeed piglets.

What will happen to their babies
who can't be breastfed?

I have friends who witnessed it with me.

They must be still locked up in his house.

We must rescue them.

Father.

General Yi, Master Poeun is here.

Let him in.

-Sir Jeong Mong-ju.
-General Yi.

It has been a long time.

What is it that I have to do
at the Deliberative Council?

Please stop establishing ties
with Yuan and prevent the war.

The streets of Gaegyeong are filled
with corpses with no arms or legs,

and so many people are starving to death.

When this is happening,

how could we form ties with Yuan?

How could we talk about
having a war with Ming?

He is the State Councillor.

But he is willing to let a war happen for
selfish reasons.

Does this make any sense to you?

What you desire is not different

from what I want to achieve.

I am a man of no special talents,

but I will join the Deliberative Council
and defeat Yi In-gyeom.

I will prevent the war from happening.

General Yi...

I have never lost a single battle so far.

DOHWA HALL: YI IN-GYEOM'S RESIDENCE

Goodness, General Yi.

How long has it been since I last saw you?

Thank you very much.

I appreciate you hosting
the banquet for me.

General Yi, you're the pillar of Goryeo.

A banquet like this is nothing.

You are...

Is he your son, General Yi?

I heard that he committed some mischief.

Child!

As a son of the top general of Goryeo,

you can't sneak into people's
residences to steal food.

I came here to catch a spy.

A spy?

I heard that the spy who was in Gabyeolcho

sneaked into your residence.

Have you seen him by any chance?

Is that so?

That's news to me.

I see.

And I heard that his friends
who came here with him,

as well as some women who recently
gave birth are locked up in this house.

Do you know anything about it?

How is that possible?

I saw them!

You are mistaken.

All right. Please come in now.

Once again,

let's raise our glasses

and celebrate General Yi Seong-gye's

arrival in Gaegyeong.

-Welcome to Gaegyeong!
-Welcome to Gaegyeong!

Enjoy.

I think that everyone is relaxed
and ready to have fun now,

so let's watch an interesting play.

They may begin.

It has

already been 88 years since

Goryeo surrendered to Yuan.

King Gongmin of Goryeo has finally
succeeded in defeating Yuan.

We can stop wearing pigtails

and kick those jerks out of our country.

He intended to reclaim
all of Goryeo's land

which Yuan stole,

but those who betrayed Goryeo
and sold the motherland to Yuan

had become the owners of the land.

BUWONBAE: PEOPLE THAT BETRAYED THEIR
COUNTRY AND SIDED WITH YUAN

The land owned by the Buwonbaes

had become the home
of generations of traitors

who have been living as Yuan's servants
for over 100 years!

However, our wise King Gongmin

gathered his soldiers and attacked them.

The ruler of the land was...

-He was?
-He was?

He was...

the jerk who betrayed his own country,

the Red Wolf, Jeokrang!

Jeokrang?

Seong-gye.

Gosh, this is too high.

You idiot, get down here!

Hey, you idiot. That's nonsense.

There was a real villain

working for the Red Wolf.

That was the traitor.

It was Mokja!

MOKJA

THE CHARACTERS USED IN THE WORD MOKJA
CAN MEAN YI SEONG-GYE'S LAST NAME, YI

My comrade Red Wolf,
things have changed now.

Surrender now!

-Surrender now!
-Surrender now!

If you don't surrender, you will die.

-You will die!
-You will die!

If you surrender,

you will also die.

I am Jeokrang!

You're telling me to eliminate Jeokrang?

What do you mean, Father?

Tomorrow, Goryeo's army

will attack our government organization.

You will need to open the gate for them.

Father...

Yuan will collapse soon.

Then, you should persuade Jeokrang--

Don't even say his name in front of me.

Now he is just Goryeo's enemy
and the servant of the traitors.

If Jo So-saeng is one of the traitors,
then we are traitors too.

Shut it!

Can't you tell?

If we make a contribution to Goryeo now,

everything Jo So-saeng owns becomes ours.

I...

I can't do it.

As a solider,
I will fight with the Jo family.

Are you saying that

you will exterminate the Yi family?

Father.

The Jo family doesn't mean much to us.

Look at the bigger picture, Seong-gye!

There is a traitor!

Someone opened the gate for them.

Their army is weak near the east gate, so
we should go through there. We must hurry.

JEOKRANG, JO SO-SAENG: HEAD OF
SSANGSEONG PREFECTURES, TRAITOR OF GORYEO

You can't go.

Was it you?

Did you open the gate, my brother?

Don't call me your brother.

I thought you were like my brother,

but I was working with the enemy.

The Yi family...

has become Chojujiga.

CHOJUJIGA: REFERRING TO THE DOG THAT
BETRAYED ITS MASTER

Tell me.

What has Goryeo done for your family?

I'm the one who gave you

everything you own.

You will

end up betraying Goryeo too.

That is...

That is the destiny of the dog that
betrayed its master.

You servants of Goryeo!

Your family, Chojujiga,

will end up like this.

Hand me my sword!

Hey! Why are you not cutting his head off?

I'll cut your head off now!

Jeokrang has been eliminated!

-He has been eliminated!
-He has been eliminated!

Did you enjoy the play?

The Gaegyeong people

laugh at things for no reason.

You betrayed Jo So-saeng
who was like a brother to you.

You must've been feeling uneasy about it.

We didn't have much time to prepare,
so we used a sword instead.

I heard that it was actually
your arrow that killed him.

You are after all a master archer.

It's okay, General Yi.

Those things happen
when you work toward a goal,

and there must have been a decent reason.

However,

a person like General Choi Yeong

who values loyalty and faithfulness
more than anything

will think differently.

To make all this happen,

you sent a spy to Hamju?

I...

never sent a spy to Hamju.

State Councillor Yi!

I finally know something about you.

You've fought so many battles
and risked your life,

and you keep showing
your generosity to the people.

But you never showed much interest
in joining the government.

I was wondering

what you wanted to achieve in life.

Now I understand.

It was probably because

you can't forgive yourself.

But,

why are you forgiving yourself now?

Why are you trying
to get into politics now?

Why now?
Why are you trying to get in my way?

Do other people

know about this as well?

No one else knows.

Whether it'll stay as our secret or not...

What are you going to do?

Please...

Please let it go this one time.

Please.
