TALE OF THE NINE TAILED

EPISODE 4

Why won't Rang get up?

Is he really sick?
He went through nothing, no?

As far as I can tell, he's awake.

He's just too ashamed to get up.

So, he's pretending to be asleep?

I'll get some ice water.

-All right.
-That looks heavy.

-It's fine.
-Oh, dear.

Thanks for your help. Go on.



Hey, wake up. Hurry, come on!

Get up.

Gosh, I even practiced lines for you.

-How about a rehearsal?
-Shall we?

What? She's a mermaid?

How dare you bring seafood
into our lineage of nine-tailed foxes!

There you go again.
You always talk about lineage.

Always on about becoming a mountain god,
building a family legacy!

How dare you!
You know I went through hell raising you!

You bastard!

-How dare you rebel against me?
-B-- Brother.

Can't you just let me be in love?

You brat. After all I've done for you!

Geez! Both of you, get lost!



-Get lost!
-Okay, okay.

Bye.

You're awake.

As you can see, I'm fine.

You still have a slight fever.

Don't touch me.

Why did you jump into the well?

Because you were dying.

I have unnecessary debt.

This is when you say thank you.

A fox must repay kindness,
regardless of its will.

Especially, when its life has been saved.

What do you want?

Well, I…

I want to fall in love.

That came out naturally enough.

Being a half-bood,

I was always rejected
by both humans and demons.

But that ends now.

Finally, I can find true love.

-Not in your right mind, huh?
-It didn't work?

-Do I look like a matchmaker?
-He didn't even get my point.

Just tell me who you want killed.
I can easily blow up a village.

That's all right.

Then, can you grant me a wish?

-A wish?
-Little ones.

Maybe about seven of them?

Are you crying?

I was tossed into the year 1938
and worked my ass off.

But for the first time,
I'm actually glad I came here.

I get to see a new side of Lord Lee Rang.

You're right.

I always hoped for Rang
to go on normal dates,

to build a family,

and to live a normal life.

The problem is that
he's never dated anyone.

Hell, he's a virgin
who's never held a woman's hand.

-Do you have a plan?
-Well, first of all,

we check their compatibility
with their names.

-Gosh, but it's all wrong.
-This is science.

My wife and I got 99 points.

Hey, but Ji-ah and I only scored 25.

Geez. This couple only scores 23 points!

See?

Gosh.

I miss Ji-ah too.

Are you worried?
Hyunuiong's probably kept her protected.

Before I came here,
the forecast said it's monsoon season.

My Ji-ah always loses her umbrella.

I hope she's not getting rained on.

Cuckoo.

-Cuckoo.
-There's a cuckoo here?

It's a cuckoo I know.

Cuckoo.

Cuckoo. Cuckoo.

-What are you doing up there?
-Oh, my…

Hello, my boss's brother.

Must you leave the front gate hanging?

"Bandits don't use the front gate!"

-That's what boss said--
-Just come down already.

So, did you look into it?

Here's the thing.
I handed this out to all my guys.

And?

There's this cultural mansion
behind Joseon Bank.

It's owned by a man named Park Ga,
who's made a fortune from gold mining.

Red-white mask robbed him?

Heard of Gyeongseong's
seven gold mining royalty?

He only targets them
and has robbed six of them already.

What did he steal?

That's what I find strange.

Cash, gold, and property deeds.
All were left behind,

except the jewelry box.

The jewelry box?

It's not here either.

Sis!

Oh, my!

-It's gold.
-Gold.

It's gold!

It's gold! It's gold!

It's gold!

This is Sunwoo Chan's house,
also known as the "King of Gold."

-And the owner?
-On a business trip to Gyeonggi-do.

Only his wife and daughter are home.

That's good.
Go in and steal the jewelry box.

Me? Come on.
I've never stolen anything in my life.

Then, shall I do it?
A former mountain god?

Let's say I go in there
and steal the jewelry box.

You think that makes any sense?

But I don't want to.
Let's just stake out and catch the guy.

We'll catch him and keep the goods.
Now hurry and go.

Stop mentioning your former post
when you're at a disadvantage.

Nobody's looking. Just walk straight.
Why that little--

Wh-- What the?
Geez. He's watched too many movies.

Put both hands over your head.

Now turn around.

It's not what you think.

Honey! Yoo-ri!

You came here looking for me?

-Don't play any tricks.
-That hurts.

-I missed your violent nature.
-What does this look like to you?

Obviously, the beginning of our love.

When we first met, you were like--

You threatened me with a gun,
and even pecked me here.

Yoo-ri, give me a hug.

You're not the first to break in here.

You're the thirty-sixth.

You're not Yoo-ri?

My name is Sunwoo Eun-ho.

You should at least know the name
of the woman who put a hole in you.

Apologies, ma'am.

Apologies? For what?

I'm not doing this
because I want to either!

Ouch! This really--

Oh, my! W-- Wait!

How can he run like that
after getting shot?

Hong-joo, it's a flower that only blooms
in the boiling Fiery-Cauldron Hell.

Goodness.

I feel warm already.

You're the best, old man.

Gosh. If you like warm things so much,

why do you keep punishing
and tormenting yourself?

That's the only way I feel alive.

Do you still have trouble sleeping?

You dream about your siblings?

My siblings…

They wait for me, even in my dreams.

I put raw rice in the mouths
of my dead siblings, and incant this:

"I never abandoned you."

Even if I die soon,
I want to tell them that.

But I'm always too late.

Even we, who are called gods,
live grieving the loss of someone.

I, too, lost my son.

I was able to survive raising you guys.

Yeon, Moo-yeong, and you.

Old man, if Yeon and Moo-yeong fought,
whose side would you take?

I'm not sure.

It's a tough question.

I liked Yeon from the start.

But I can't abandon Moo-yeong again.

His bodily scars…

are all because of me.

They were good kids.

But why?

Both of them.

They're not the guys I used to know.

Hey, hurry up.

-A woman in there looks just like Yoo-ri.
-Right, the reporter. I saw her too.

-Why didn't you tell me?
-Who knew it'd be her house?

-And red-white mask?
-He's been following us.

You're strong.

Wow.

Great balance too.

But not so experienced
at hand-to-hand combat.

Shit.

Why? You have another talent?

Well, damn it.

Let me see my stalker's face.

A demon using an assassin weapon?

Rang!

You tried to kill me twice.

My brother and I plan to go all out today.

Get him!

There's no path there anyway!

Boss!

Who are you people?

With the gold he gave us,

I bought enough food
for the whole village.

-Good for you.
-They're human shields.

Who the hell is this prick?
Is the suspense really necessary?

-Let's take off all their masks.
-It's no use. He's already gone.

What about the item?

It's yeot.

I'll come for it soon, Lee Yeon.

And this.

This is a valuable original.

Even so, it's just jewelry.

-What is that bastard looking for?
-Hold on.

There's one last thing.

-Where are you pulling it out from?
-My goodness.

-Geez.
-Disgusting.

What is this?

-What? Is this really the golden ruler?
-Is it really?

GOLDEN RULER
TREASURE OF HYEOKGEOSE OF SILLA

-Is it something good?
-Haven't you heard about the legend?

"He who beholds the golden ruler will
revive the dead and make his name known."

The item revives the dead

when you measure
the length and width of a corpse.

Why would such a thing be here?

No one probably knew what it was used for.

There was a rumor before:

That the King of Silla's ruler was found
in a gold mine up north.

I thought it was just a rumor.

A treasure that revives the dead?

Just who is he trying to revive?

Long time no see.

Old hag.

Did I come too early?

I wanted to watch you run amok some more.

But it's been a while since I saw you,
so I thought I'd drop by.

How about a cup of tea?

Who exactly are you, old hag?

Being raised by you, and almost dying,
got me a bit confused.

Me? I'm a typical bureaucrat.

I raised you three out of necessity,
and removed you out of necessity.

I like how simple it is for you.

Puts me at ease to do just about anything.

I'm here to make you feel uneasy.

There's only one reason
I'm letting you be.

You need answers.

How did someone you turned
to stone come back to life?

Who dares shake the boundary
of the world of the Living and Dead?

Our Moo-yeong sure has changed.

You dare challenge me
with your eyes wide open too.

You're the one…

who abandoned me.

You're the one
who decided to play the villain,

so you shouldn't look so hurt.

Should you?

That's why…

you needed a mask, huh?

Why did you come to this era?

For what?

To bring my brother back,

and take back everything I lost
from you and Lee Yeon.

If you wish to do bad things…

eat well.

It seems you're not fully recovered yet.

You'll regret this.

You'll regret not killing me today.

Oh, goodness.

I dug into Lee Yeon's whereabouts
as you requested.

There is a strange witness in Gunsan.

Is that so?

Okay.

-You did well.
-What if the old hag sees you?

We've already met.

Ta-da.

Here. Have some tofu.

Gosh.

It still feels like a dream
that you're by my side.

Can I be honest?

I don't recognize you.

You seem like the Moo-yeong I know.

But I'm not so sure.

What kind of person do you know me as?

You wanted to be a doctor
instead of a mountain god.

You cherished every single blade of grass.

You got back up when you got hurt.

But you cried your eyes out
when Yeon or I got hurt.

What about now?

What am I like now?

I don't see you,
even when you're so close.

I don't recognize you anymore.

I shouldn't have become…

a mountain god.

I should've just stayed
by your side as Cheon Moo-yeong.

But your dreams eventually became mine.

-Do you intend to kill Yeon?
-What if I do?

Will you kill me?

You guys have already drawn me
into your dog fight.

You know better than anyone,
I'm not the type to sit back and watch.

What the hell?
You said it'll come back to life.

You call this the treasure of all time?

Maybe there's a manual.

The guardian stone is just a rock
if it leaves its place.

You're right.

This was how it all started.

The stone that creates a barrier,

and a treasure that awakens the dead.

What was he trying to do?

The golden ruler was never spotted
since the Japanese colonial era.

It disappeared from the world
after this period.

That's why he traveled through time.

Let's wait.

-What?
-He'll come back for it.

What's with the horse?

The mermaid asked for a ride.

Oh, my.

Aren't you going too fast
for a first date?

She'll hug him from behind and say,
"Baby, you're going too fast."

Don't worry.
The traffic laws can't stop my passion.

Goodness. Your chest is so hot.

Quit whispering!

I'll show you the bandit's passion.
Clip-clop, clip-clop.

-Should I kill him?
-Let's run!

Such a handsome horse. What's its name?

Oh, it's Lee Yeon.

Your brother's name?

Because he's a tough one.

But why a horse?

Since my legs are actually a tail,
I can't walk or run for long.

It's always been my wish!

I've always wanted
to ride a horse through the fields.

If you want to enjoy speed,
why don't we ride a car?

No. It has to be a horse.

YEO-HEE'S IMAGINATION

Physical contact is essential
when riding horses.

The warmth you feel on your back
will make a man's heart flutter.

We will inevitably fall in love today.

Put your center of gravity behind you.

-I told you to maintain your posture.
-Posture?

-Align your head, shoulders, and butt!
-Align--

Don't provoke it with strange noises.

Horses have sensitive ears.

Excuse me, but my legs hurt so much.
My thighs won't stay still.

Now, imagine this.

Say the enemy is coming
for your head right now.

Is this the time to talk?

Are we supposed to in battle?

Don't be scared. Use more force.

Put your center of gravity behind you.

Giddyap!

Wow, you're quite talented.

Really?

Do you want to join our bandit gang?
You'll make a good warrior.

A bandit gang…

How could I lose them? Geez.

Where on earth did they go to ride horses?

Do you intend to tail them
every time they go on dates?

I'm sure they'll be fine.

We should host their wedding
at a hotel, yeah?

-What about a small wedding?
-Nonsense. I want only what's best.

The venue, and everything else!

We'll cast the best singers too!

-Let me be the host!
-Sure, sure.

What's that?

Oh, dear.

-Baby!
-It's alive.

Who would abandon such an adorable baby?

This blanket is made of the finest silk.

So she's from a wealthy family.

I know! She's the child of a mistress.

Maybe she was abandoned
for being a girl, just like me.

Or the result of a Western-style love.

It's trendy these days.

Thank you for your opinions
I could care less about.

So what now? You girls gonna raise her?

This is the gisaeng's home.
We'll be in trouble if Madame finds out.

You heard her.
Put her back where we found her.

-No. She's a foundling.
-So what?

It means "a child of good fortune."

Foundlings bring good luck,
so it's customary to bring them inside.

You heard her. I'll take care of her
until we find her parents.

Hey!

Want some?

How is it?

Well, it's not bad.

What kind of food do you like?

I'm not picky, but if I had to choose,
I'd say naengmyeon.

What's your ideal type?

My type?

I mean, what kind of person do you like?

That would be someone stronger than me.

Find a common ground, no matter what.

What are your hobbies?

Nowadays, I'm into robbery.

Why do you want to be a bandit?

Because Yeon wouldn't approve of it.

You brothers are more complicated
than it seems, huh?

I've never even met my father.

And my human mother called me a monster.

Lee Yeon was my only family.

Though he tossed me like trash,
once he was seduced by a human.

At least you have family by your side.

What about your parents?

Why don't you go back to the sea?
You can live as a mermaid.

I like Gyeongseong and singing on stage.

I like the shining lights
and the chattering voices--

Don't be mistaken.

There's no place for a half-demon

on this Earth.

I'm off.

I already have a lot on my plate
with this one.

I hate human children.

-You liar. Soo-oh liked you the most!
-Who the hell's Soo-oh?

Forget it. Just take it to the Baby Box.

There's nothing like that here.

-Why don't we have our guys sell it?
-Come on.

I don't believe you two.
You have no humanity at all!

-Are we human?
-Are we human?

No, that's not food.

I told you to stop lifting weights.

Are you hungry? You want munchies?

Off you go.
I'll go buy some baby formula and diapers.

Hey, let's go together.
I have an urgent errand to run downtown.

You want to die?

I'll be right back.
Let's get you some munchies.

Gosh.

Hey. Wh-- What should we do?

-Let's discreetly get rid of her.
-We can't do that.

What about casually losing her?

I'm sorry it turned out this way,
but this is for your own good. Okay?

Find nice parents and live a good life.

Gosh, all right!

These are snakeberries.

Hong-joo goes crazy for them.

-Let's go.
-Gosh, all right.

-Why is she here?
-Did she come looking for us?

Wh-- She can't even walk yet!
Which prick did this?

-Hurry, before Shin-ju gets back.
-Hurry, hurry!

For goodness' sake!

Have a good life, okay?

Shit.

Hey…

Hey, tell me. How do you keep coming back?

Is this even human?

Isn't it a demon in disguise?

Gosh. I don't believe this.

Lee Yeon was an opium addict?

Yes, he was a huge fan.

Every demon in Gunsan knew of it.

-Ever seen him smoke it?
-He doesn't even smoke cigarettes.

-Did he quit suddenly?
-No way.

Shin-ju stopped by recently,
looking for more opium.

You were also victimized by Yeon, right?

-I wouldn't say I was victimized--
-We recently formed

a Lee Yeon victims' club.

We meet three times a week.

VICTIMS' CLUB
FOR DEMONS VICTIMIZED BY THE FOX

We offer therapy sessions
and pumpkin juice for the swelling

to those who took a beating.

He beat you?

Yes.

Just because he didn't like her name,
he beat us like this, and this--

What's your name?

-Bae Ah-eum.
-Ah-eum.

Lee Yeon's girlfriend's name?

Ah-eum, Ah-eum, Ah-eum!

Ah-eum!

She hates that name the most.

So? Where did you say you last saw him?

Yeon got on a train to Manchuria?

Maybe he got off in Gyeongseong.
It coincides with when he left Gunsan.

Jae-yoo.

Go get some opium.

What could it be?

The moles on her forehead…

-It's the Big Dipper.
-So?

It's an asterism that controls death.

But it also means to bring wealth.

Geez, something feels off.

She keeps coming back,
no matter what we do.

Wh-- Why is it crying?

I-- I don't know.

Stop crying.

You little brat.
If you want something, just say so.

Geez. You think that will make her talk?

Okay. Hey, hey.
Don't cry. I'll give this to you.

Stop crying.

-Let's knock it out.
-Oh, stop.

She'll die if you do.
You have any opium or sleeping pills?

It stopped.

Just keep holding her.

Come here.

Hey, it's damp.

-Gross.
-She must've pooped.

Hey, I'm a germophobe.

-You're the ones who brought her.
-It wasn't me.

Let's make a bet. Loser raises her alone.

You only have two left, but I have four.

-No!
-Goodbye.

-It's not over yet.
-No, no!

Oh, no!

I'm giving you exactly 30 minutes.

Let me tell you something.

I hate humans the most in the world.

Especially, the pathetic ones
who can't do anything on their own.

It's no use acting pitiful.

Don't cry, or I'll eat you up.

What's so funny?

Are you laughing at me?

Wow, what a nice view.

Why is it so quiet?

-How'd you put her to sleep?
-Didn't take much.

-What's that?
-It's nothing.

-Why you--
-Nothing…

How could you give her makgeolli?
My goodness.

Emergency! It's an emergency!

-What's all the fuss about?
-Madame Ryu is back.

-Who? Hong-joo?
-She wants to see you.

Lord Lee Rang, take the baby and hide! Go!

-Why?
-If we get caught, we'll get kicked out!

Gosh, just go.

-Lord Lee Rang.
-Geez.

I think Madame Ryu's scarier than
the red-white mask,

so don't make her your enemy.

-Doing what?
-Can't you just pretend to like her?

-No.
-Why not? It's just an act.

Because I know her feelings are real.

Even if I make her my enemy,
I don't want to lie to her.

She's my friend.

Well, he can be so cool sometimes.

It stinks!

-You're here.
-What's this? You smoke opium?

I heard it's good money,
so I might start selling.

Are you a thug?
Don't do it, even if it's big money.

-I guess I'll smoke it then.
-What? Have you lost your mind?

What if you get addicted?

His eyes are clear.

And his hands are steady.

He didn't even flinch at the smell.

So why did you call for me?

-I have a question.
-Me too.

To be fair:

Three questions each.

What if I can't give an answer?

-We strip one layer at a time.
-Oh, goodness.

First question.

Do you remember when we first met?

She's testing me.

That's what the opium was about?

Does she know something?

How could I forget?

You stabbed me as soon as you saw me.

My turn.

Red-white mask. You met him, no?

-I did.
-Where is he now?

One question at a time.

My turn.

We swore to protect each other
with our lives…

And if we break it?

-We die by each other's hands.
-Yeon…

I intend to keep that promise.

-Why did you choose him over me?
-I haven't made my decision yet.

Last question.

What am I to you?

I can't give you the answer you want.

I would never trick you

to get you on my side.

Over my dead body.

You just had to say one word.
Even then and now, you're so uptight.

Who's behind the mask? He knows me, right?

Perhaps, I know him too.

H-- Hey! Cut it out.

The more layers, the prettier you look.

Oh, right. Take this.

I don't know if you still like them.

I'm off, then.

Hong-joo, what's wrong?

I got a letter from home.

My youngest brother is very sick.

Then tell Taluipa and go home.

She said, if I leave this place,
I won't ever become a mountain god.

That evil old hag!

Hold on.

Here. Snakeberries.

They make sad thoughts go away.

This is what snakes eat.

So you have to pluck one eyelash
before you eat one.

It purifies the poison.

What do you think? Am I right?

Jae-yoo.

Yes, ma'am.

We're going to Manchuria.
Pack your things.

On the count of three. One, two, three!

JAMI GOLD MINE

Mother's bawling her eyes out, Father.
All her jewelry were stolen.

That's not important right now.
We have another gold mine!

Put it on the front page.

I, Sunwoo Chan,
may have been robbed thirty-six times,

but I'm good as ever!

As you, the owner of the paper,
use the press for personal reasons?

I'm also promoting the Governor-General's
new gold production policies.

It's all for the good of the country.

There's over 5,000 mines
under development.

Whether children or women,
the whole country's nuts over gold mines.

Look at this.

This is the era of gold bringing in money.

Hello, Mr. Sunwoo Chan.

Miss.

I'm from Jongno Station.

-What is this?
-I heard an interesting rumor recently.

Unsan Gold Mine from Pyongan,
Jiksan Gold Mine from Cheonan,

and Gahak Gold Mine from Gwangmyeong--

I heard a man appeared
wherever the gold mines did.

-Who?
-The Joseon people call him a fortune god.

A fortune god?

He's an indigenous god
that brings good fortune.

You came all the way here
because of some superstition?

With all due respect,

have you seen a man wearing
a bamboo hat with a Taoist Hermit's beard?

I hear he munches on carrots,
like a rabbit.

Father.

C-- Catch that guy.

-Get him!
-Yes, sir.

Lord Lee Rang!

Lord Lee Rang!

Lord Lee Rang!

Make a bet!

Which one will it be? Where could it be?

-It's not there!
-Damn it!

-Damn, my money! My mo--
-Thank you, sirs.

Boss!

Come here.

Twelve months in a year,
thirteen the past year,

365 days in a year.
This doesn't come every day or month.

Don't be picky. Just pick one.

-You done reciting?
-Number two!

-Number two.
-Okay, I'll bet.

-Number two.
-Anyone else?

Here we go. Will it be number one?

-What? You pick number three?
-Oh, dear. It's not there.

-The tiny brat's already gambling?
-Which one will it be?

-Oh, no. It's not two!
-No!

-It's in number three.
-Yes!

-Gosh.
-Thank you.

Hey, hurry up. Next bet.

One nyang becomes two,

two nyangs to four, four to eight,

eight nyangs to ten, then a hundred.

Look here. Where could it be?

Here we go. Where is it?

-It's over here.
-No, number two.

-I got it.
-Number two.

Number two.

Number three again?

-I'm sure.
-I told you so.

Is it number two? Oh, dear. It's not!

It's number three. Congratulations.

-Take that, then.
-That's strange.

-You're pretty good.
-Here. Thank you, sir.

Dongdaemun? Where will we go?

Pick one, pick one.

-Pick and choose one.
-I won't fall for it again.

Do it again. Which one is it?

-Number one? Okay.
-Number three.

Okay, then. Let's go backwards this time.

-It's not there.
-What? Oh, no!

It's not here either.

-It's in number one, sir.
-Wow, what are you?

Here you go. Thank you.

Where'd it go? Where could it be?

Number two?

-Number one.
-Okay, number one.

-I'll go with the baby!
-Me too. Number two.

-All right.
-What does the baby know?

It's not in number one.

Number two.

It's in here. Congratulations.

Go away, kid. Go away, kid.

Where will my hand go? Look carefully.

If you look close enough,
your fate may change.

Now, where is it? Where is it?

One more time.

Number three?

Number three.

I bet everything.

Well, let's see.

Number two.

-It's not there!
-It's number three!

Wow!

You really bring good luck.

Lucky baby! Lucky baby!

Fur, pearls, and expensive bananas.
What is all this?

I was in a good mood, so I splurged.

-What happened downtown?
-Nothing happened.

Why?

Oh, sheesh.

-What's all this?
-I won it!

-You gambled in front of a baby?
-She's no joke. Let's keep her!

Really?

-You see this?
-We'll raise you, baby.

Gosh, my head hurts.

Goodness.

I wonder what's in Manchuria.

You said the man
at Myoyeongak is Lee Yeon.

So what do you wish to check?

-That one's not an opium addict.
-What do you mean?

I must see it with my own eyes.

The other nine-tailed fox
who went to Manchuria.

Excuse me, ma'am.

Why do you like Lord Lee Yeon?

I never got to play house as a kid.

Because my life was a constant battle.

But when I'm with him, I feel comforted.

It's strange.

He doesn't even know how
to say kind words.

CHEON HO-YEONG

Brother.

Have you been well?

Will Dad scold me?

-So why did you run away?
-I don't want to be a mountain god.

You should be one.

A child qualified to be one
is chosen by Taluipa.

I don't like fighting and I find it scary.

I'm sure you'll become
a great mountain god.

You're my little brother, after all.

Brother, tell me I'm on the right path.

Let me sleep.

Why does she need a name?

Even abandoned pets have names.

Then what about Kim Du-han?
He grew up to be strong.

Du-han? But she's a girl.

How about a hip name?
She's from the streets, you know.

-What about Coco?
-Coco! Wait--

Please be more sincere.
Humans' fates depend on their names.

Gumiho for nine-tailed?

How about Lee Mi-ho,
taking your family name?

Lee Mi-ho?

Hey, Lee Mi-ho.

-Don't touch me.
-I think Mi-ho likes it too.

Hey, Mi-ho!

Hey, Koo Shin-ju. Come here.

Mi-ho, Mi-ho, Mi-ho!

What'll you do with her once time's up?

-You going to take her with you?
-Oh, can I?

I know you can't even pass up a stray dog.

But it's a completely different thing
to take responsibility for a human.

Do you hate Mi-ho that much?

It's not that I hate her.
You know I raised Rang.

It's all my fault that he joined
a bandit gang and that he died.

Because I failed to protect him.

But you did your best.

Find proper parents
who can raise her, for her sake.

We were able to catch him,
but torture and blackmail won't work.

He just eats carrots all day.

And he's the fortune god of Joseon?

He's been sighted in gold mines
all over the country.

Whether he's the fortune god or not,
I'm sure he knows how to find gold.

Do whatever you can to make him talk.

For military expansion,

our priority is to secure
the only international currency: gold.

Yes, sir.

Can we even use a man like him?

He is flaunting his useless power
over those who are weaker than him.

Who better to use than him.

Any movement from Ginko?

Though I am a little worried,

she hasn't gone anywhere
other than the tennis court.

She regularly goes to this boutique store.

Is that so?

Look at the map properly!

Locate the gold
if you want to get out alive!

What I do best,
is sever tendons of someone like you.

-Must be hard work.
-You bastard!

All right. Fine.

Tell me, tell me. What is it you want?

Please find a baby for me.

-Excuse me.
-What's wrong?

-Stop that!
-It's not her. Shit.

Find her, quick!

-Yes, sir.
-Scour the place!

REWARD: ONE MILLION WON
JONGNO POLICE STATION

-Out of the way!
-Out, out!

What is this?

Is it an orphanage?

The Government-General runs the place.
It's a facility for orphans.

-I'm telling you not to send her.
-All you do is gamble with her.

Mi-ho, how could I send you off?

Is there a spectacle?

Oh, that?
Jongno Station is looking for a baby.

The reward is enough to buy a house.

If I catch her,
I can turn my life around in one go!

Wait a minute.

L-- Look.

-It's her!
-I found the baby!

-Lord Lee Yeon, go!
-Over here!

Stop right there!

Get him!

-Shit!
-Get 'em! Go, get him!

To the right! Turn right!

-Stop right there!
-Stop, you bastards!

-Come here, you--
-I got him!

Let go!

-Oh, no!
-Hey!

-Goodness gracious!
-Oh, dear.

Stop! Don't lose him!

Catch him!

-How old is your baby?
-I wouldn't know.

-Right?
-I think it's her.

May I see the baby?

-Why do you ask?
-I think it's her.

Get him!

Damn.

-Get him!
-Wait, damn you!

-You're blocking the screen.
-Move.

-Go! Get him!
-Hey, stop!

Hey, get out of the way.

Get him!

Get out of here!

-Get out!
-What?

Have you never cried before, huh?

Oh, I'm sorry.

You!

Go, get him!

Shoot!

You're okay.

Here. Wait here a second.

I'll be right back. I won't be long.

Get him!

I wanted to refrain from using violence
for the baby, but damn it!

Let go! You bastard!

I'm sorry! Let me go!
Let me go! I'm sorry!

I'm sorry!

How dare you shoot when a child's present?

-I'm sorry!
-What the hell are you saying?

How dare you bastards shoot
at a child, huh?

Mi-ho!

Mi-ho.

Mi-ho. Mi-ho?

Where's the basket?

Oh, shit.

Mi-ho. Hey, Mi-ho!

Are they gone?

Welcome.

You know who I am, right?

I'm here to buy some clothes.

It's just my style.

Put it on Lord Lee Yeon's tab.

MYOYEONGAK

Oh, my-- Mi-ho. I'm sorry.

It's my fault. I'm so sorry.

Gosh. She's burning up.

-Let's call a doctor.
-No. I don't trust anyone.

You sure the gisaengs will keep quiet?

Yes.

Mi-ho, why are you sick?

Goodness.

Let's get the fever down.

Were you like this when I was sick?

You always fell ill when you were little.
Do you know how troubled I was?

I fed you everything
that was good for you.

Well, I don't remember.

This is why they say
you get no credit for raising a kid.

Why did you take me in?
You didn't even know you had a brother.

Father told me.

What?

When I was little,
he left me with the old hag.

I never knew if he was alive or dead.

One day, he just showed up and said,

"I forgot to tell you,
but you might have a brother."

-I'll kill him if I ever see him.
-What a good son.

I'll help out.

What was he like? Our so-called father.

I don't even know his face.

He'd use me as an archery target,
feed me poisonous mushrooms,

and tie me to a rock
to throw me in the river.

So you turning out this way
is no coincidence.

Why isn't her fever going down?

Hey. You're here.

Mi-ho.

Her fever went down.

Yeah, I'm so glad.

From now on,
I'm in charge of raising Mi-ho.

You're doing a good job.

Make sure it's spotless, okay?

-Yes, sir.
-Okay. Good work.

Great work, everyone.

Don't leave any traces of gambling.

Make sure there's not
a single speck of dust.

-It's bad for her bronchial tubes, okay?
-Yes, sir.

What the? What's that smell?

Who the hell is smoking?

Give this to me.

Put that cigarette out.

-Hey, you!
-No smoking. Starting today.

-Why you--
-Only use nice words.

-Is that baby lotion?
-I'm not sure.

Check for parabens.

Here.

-Hey, it's organic, right?
-What's "organic"?

Never mind.

Mi-ho.

Let's eat lunch when you're all done.

Put her down now. You'll spoil her.

Attachment forms at this age.
Don't question my infant care philosophy.

How long should I recite this?

Until Mi-ho falls asleep.

I'm going to send her
to Seoul National University.

Geez, you're so dramatic.

You like this, don't you?

Look here.

OBOK BOUTIQUE

Gosh, where did that shirt go?
I'm certain I hid it here.

The codes are written on it.

If it gets out, the whole organization
will be compromised.

Exactly.

-What are you looking for?
-Yeo-hee.

Have you seen a floral shirt here?

It was sold yesterday.

To who?

Where on earth can I buy baby powder?

What in the--

Gosh. This is driving me crazy.

Excuse me.

-Me?
-I had that shirt custom-made.

It's mine.

Name the price.
I'll pay however much you want.

Apologies, but I won't sell.

Apologies, ma'am.

You're him.

MANCHURIA

Look what we have here.

Wow!

Let's see. Seven moles on the forehead.

-It's her.
-Who are you?

I'm Detective Jung Dae-seung
from Jongno Station.

-So what?
-Give me the baby.

What?

Hurry up.

Geez.

How typical.

-Let them go.
-The baby comes first.

-Please help us.
-Then I have no choice.

Mi-ho.

-Here.
-Are you out of your mind?

Usually, the protagonists end up
losing the baby like idiots.

-But we're no ordinary humans.
-Who the hell are you guys?

Something like the Green Mother's Society.

-Anyway, you're all screwed today.
-You crazy bastard.

Watch your language in front of the baby.

You bastard.

Oh? All right.

Should I stomp him?

Let's stomp.

Take this!

Shoo--

TALE OF THE NINE TAILED

What's this?

He reeks of blood.

The governor's office offered a deal.

-If I don't bring the baby--
-Where is Hong-joo right now?

I won't forgive you.

The gold mines…

I found gold!

-If I bring the kidnapped Orchid…
-Don't be scared.

…he'll tell me the baby's location.

Lee Yeon and I will fight to the death.

My dear friends are about to start a war.

Who are you?

It's me.
