No, I can't die like this!
Yan!
Park Gyu...
Tell them not to kill me!
I can't die like this...
The law is strict.
I'll leave Chosun...
I'll return to England.
Park Gyu...
Park Gyu, no...
NO!!!!
Is it all right for us to do this?
Don't worry. I already checked that the higher ranking officials are out.
For sure?
Of course!!
Where am I going??
Unbelievable!
Where did he learn our language?
That's what I mean.
Park Gyu...
Where's Park Gyu?
Hey, you! How dare you call his name carelessly!
Is he your friend?!
Let's take him outside.
Get up!
Get up! Get up!
Tada! Everyone, look here!
It is like a puppy!
Everyone, take a look at him!
You'll never see something like this in your life!
There's no free lunch! Just pay 2 Nyangs!
Hey, hey!
Look here!
Say something.
Go ahead. Like you did it inside.
Have you eaten? (Good morning)
Have we eaten?! Hahaha!
Look at his blue eyes! Can he see with them?
Say something!
Do it, do it!
Look at him! Look at him!
Let's look at it.
What is this?
Take a look! Just 2 Nyangs for something you'll never see again in your life!
Let's count what we have! Haha!
How many are there? One, two, three, four, five...
What the!
Who the hell!
Oh my, royal secret inspector, royal secret inspector!
Oh my god! I'm dead, I'm dead!
It's not that they don't like you.
They were rude because they are not used to seeing a westerner. So, don't hate them too much.
From now on, wear this.
Then, people won't notice that you're a westerner.
Don't you regret it?
If you had left when I let you, you would not have to face this...
Beo Jin.
What would she be doing now?
Diving today...
And tomorrow...
And the day after that...
That's probably how she'll live her life.
Somewhere near the shore,
she must be diving today, too.
I remember seeing Beo Jin crying near the shore...
Park Gyu.
I'll be able to see Beo Jin again some day, right?
What could our Beo Jin be thinking so deeply?
How far is it from here to the land?
Would one full day by a ship be enough?
I...
My heart feels...so empty and stuffy.
I feel like I'm dying.
I have to go see William...
I even promised him...
Our Beo Jin now has one more reason to leave for the land, right?
That place isn't necessarily better than here.
What's important is your heart.
Until you get rid of the hard feelings in your heart, wherever you are, it'll be the same.
But, since my hard feelings are about William, I'll be okay once I see him.
Is it only because of the blue-eyed boy?
Isn't there another reason?
Of course, it's because of William! Would it be because...of that exile,
no, because of the royal secret inspecter?!
If Beo Jin also leaves this place, Tamna is going to be a very boring place...
Is it because the royal secret inspector left?
The house looks empty.
That's what I mean...
When the exile... I mean, when the royal secret inspector.was here,
there were a lot going on even in this small house.
The royal secret inspector and I braided straw shoes, knitted fishing nets. We became really close.
Didn't you see how his eyes got teary when he looked at me?
No, I didn't.
You all have eyes of frozen pollack. How could you not see that important scene?
Frozen pollack?
Mom.
What are you doing now?
Don't you see?
I cleaning up here so that we can store our grain we harvested over the winter.
Don't just stay there, but give me a hand.
But still, mom.
It hasn't been long since the exile left here.
But you are getting rid of his things already.
If we don't throw them away, would the royal secret inspector come back?!
Jang Beo Jin, listen to me carefully.
If you keep saying that you want to go to the land or
if you look feeble, there will be no food for you from now on.
Do you get it?
Clean this room and help your father fix the roof.
Mom.
I've had enough.
What's that?
Whenever you see me, you only talk about working!
Don't you feel sick of it?
Tell me once again.
Mom, don't you know really know
why I want to go to the land?
Why is that?
Because you are full of vanity!
It's because I don't want to live like you, working on the farm and diving every single day!
I am really sick and tired of this!
Even if I try my best and become the chief diver,
I'll be living like you, right?
I never want to live like that!
Come out after cleaning all of these quickly.
Jang Beo Jin
You... When are you going to the land?
What are you talking about ?
Aren't you going to go save William?
Let us go together.
Us?
You and me.
If you go with me, William will be really happy.
Wake up!
You cannot take a step out of Tamna.
Even if you can, there's no reason for me to do it for you.
Why not?
William must be missing me so much!
If it wasn't for you, William leave here safely.
What are you talking about?
Oh, Beo Jin!
Did you come here because you heard I was released?
After all, only the wife cares for the husband.
Don't worry about me.
Hardships make a man even stronger.
Did you say goodbye to him?
Say goodbye?
He's leaving tomorrow morning to the land.
As soon as I get attached to one another, I have to say goodbye. This is the destiny of a sailor.
You can't leave here.
Get a hold of yourself and focus on your diving.
Hyungnim! (older friend/brother)
He is such a cold-hearted guy.
I can't even work for a while since my master's ship is wrecked.
I wanted to go with him...
Bok Man!
What?
Bok Man!
Here it is. Check it out.
Beo Jin.
Dad...
Do you have to do this?
i'm sorry, dad...
But... I can't stand it anymore.
As if nothing has happened,
I cannot live diving every day.
As time goes by, my heart aches more and more...
So, what can I do?!
I..feel stuffy here...as if I have a upset stomach, so
I can't even breathe well.
Please let me go. Dad...
Take it with you.
I learned, after following what your heart tells you to to do,
at least,
you will have less to regret.
Dad...
I am
really sorry.
But,
remember this clearly.
We'll always wait for you here.
So, when things get difficult,
come back to Tamna anytime. Huh?
Dad!
It is time the first ship left.
Go now.
Dad...
Go on.
Before anyone sees you.
Yes, done.
Go on board.
Thanks.
You are going to the land alone, little fellow?
Let's go!
By any chance...
Aren't you Beo Jin?
You are Beo Jin, right?
You, a diver, are going to the land?
Don't we need to turnthe ship around?
If a diver goes to the land,
she will get seriously beaten.
You must be Beo JIn, right?!
Look at me.
What are you doing with my little brother?
He's your little brother?
He's not feeling well, so we're on our way to the land to get medical treatment.
Still... He looks exactly like a low-ranking diver, Beo Jin in Sanbang village.
Are you telling me my brother looks like a diver, so,
a girl?
He hasn't grown up fully as he was so sick when he was a child.
He can't even speak. Do you know even how much he has been bullied throughout his life?!
He looks really like Beo Jin...
Do I really have to take his pants off?!
You embarassed this sick boy in front of all these people.
If he gets proven to be a boy,
how are you going to compensate us?
If you say so...
You'll have to pay me at least 3 times of the fare!
No, no! No!
I must have made a mistake.
I'm sorry.
Thank you.
This will be the last time I help you.
Were you
really going to take my pants off?
Once we arrive to the land, don't even think about following me.
I won't!
Beo Jin
left to the land.
Geez...
Why does your place look so empty?
Oh?
Oh, your face...
Why does it look drooping like a small octopus on a fishing line?
It's nothing.
Where the heck is Beo jin?
Is she still lying on the floor because of the westerner?
Beo Jin originally is affectionate and kind-hearted.
Right.
My Keut Boon, too, after the exile...
No, after the royal secret inspector left, she was sick for a couple days.
But now, I'm just fine.
It must have been hard for him too to stay away from me because of the difference in our status.
Right, right.
I noticed he didn't even look at you.
There was a good reason for it.
They say a person's absence becomes noticeable after he leaves.
Although only the exile is not here,
the whole Sanbang village feels empty.
I'm going to go in there and give some advice to Beo Jin.
A diver shouldn't cry over a man.
Just leave now.
You will have a lot of things to do.
Go away.
Yes.
Yes.
Hey!
We are both looking for William after all. Let's just go together.
Let's go together.
People wouldn't know if I am a diver.
If you travel with me, you will feel secure too, right?
It'll be better than going alone.
If together means you and me,
I would rather be alone!!
Don't be so mean to me!
I gave you so many oranges in Tamna!
Yan!
Yan!!!!
Look.
Are you hungry?
I'll buy. Let's go eat something.
Waitress!
Bring me one more bottle of drink!
Yes!
Hurry up!
We'll end up travelling together, so why are you pushing me away?
Watch your accent.
Do you want to let the local people know that you are a diver from Jeju?
Hmmm!
Okay, then let's travel together. (without using Jeju dialect)
The exile speaks this way.
This is Hanyang dialect. (with lame Hanyang dialect)
Waitress!
Yes!
I heard
a westerner was here.
Yes.
i went to see him, too.
Gosh! He looked really strange.
Oh right! I heard they are taking him to Hanyang.
Maybe they are leaving for Gang Jin tonight.
Waitress!
Yes!
Gang Jin... Gang Jin?
We must look like typical bandits. Even if you succeed in killing him, take the goods on the wagon first.
Park Gyu!
Yah!
Yan...
Yan!
YAN!
Let's walk a little bit slowly.
What's wrong with him?
Yan!
Tease-ya, tease-ya! Haha! This is good, this is so good!
Park Gyu!
Oh my god!
Park Gyu!
Look at me, look at me.
Wait, wait.
Park Gyu, Park Gyu!!
What shall we do?
We must not get caught.
Let's get out of here for now.
Yes!
Park Gyu!
Park Gyu!
Park Gyu!
Please. Come on!
What the...
Waitress!
Yes!
Aigoo.
Do you have a room?
Yes, of course. We just have only one left.
Good.
I'll take it.
Come over this way.
You really are persistent!
I knew you are a fool, but you are fearless too.
This isn't Tamna and we don't know anyone here.
There are only you and me in this room.
Right!
Since it's just the two of us, if you travel with me and take care of me, we won't feely lonely. How good would that be?
William...
Where could he be now?
I want to see him soon.
What then, after you meet William?
When I meet him...
Are you going to hide him in a cave like in Tamna?
Why are you like this?
William said, he was happy to meet me in Tamna.
So naive, you believe what a boy in love says.
No wonder the exile called you a goldfish.
I guess there was a reason for it.
Why are you talking about the exile now?
The exile is, to me....
Don't talk nonsense and go to bed early.
Since we have a long way to go tomorrow, too.
Why did he suddenly talk about the exile?!
Gee!
He looks so weird.
He won't die after all.
I applied some herbs to stop the bleeding.
But you can never be carelss about a stab wound. When he wakes up, take you'd better him to a doctor.
Thank you.
We.. are not.. bad people.
I was drifted to Tamna on my way to Nagasaki. And Park Gyu and I were going to Hanyang.
Suddenly, bad guys attacked us...
A westerner.... I've heard from my fellow potters who returned from Japan that there are people like you.
But, I didn't expect to meet a golden haired westerner like you in this deep forest. Hahaha!
Look at you...
Until he wakes up, you can stay here and rest.
You seem tired from coming a long way.
Anyway, about your Korean...
It's a long story.
That's all right, all right.
Hey, there! Stop there for a moment.
You, there!
Me?
Is there someone else here?
Where are you going that you didn't even answer us?
I was on my way to take the first ship leaving the port.
What is it?
There's been a lot going on in our village lately.
As a bandits rampaged around, the royal secret inspector is missing on his way to Hanyang. meanwhile
So, the prisoners he was taking all died.
Died? Do you mean the westerner died?!
Why do you get so surprised?
Wait a minute.
I didn't even mention about the westerner...
How would he know there was a westerner?
The rumor that a westerner caught in Tamna was being taken to Hanyang was all over Kang Jin.
How could I not know about that?
I'm busy, so...
Wait.
There's something strange about you.
Let me see your hopae.
(Hopae: The indentification plate of a man older than 16 years old that he carries with him)
Walking around without your hopae so early in the morning is a bit strange thing, huh?
I thought I had it with me.
Wait a minute.
Wait a minute?! Let's talk at the government office.
Brother!
Brother, how could you be so forgetful?
No matter how busy you were, how could you leave your hopae behind?
He's your brother?
Yes.
My brother is always so forgetful. He leaves things behind everywhere.
Brother, let's hurry and go, mom(said in Jeju dialect)...
Our mother..says..you, brother...(with partial Jeju dialect)
She keeps calling you, brother. Haha!.
Wait, your accent is a little strange.
It's too early in the morning for me to speak....
It must be because I slept at a cold place.
It's so early in the morning and you are working so hard!
Not at all!
You're so pretty.
Okay, then. Just go ahead now.
Yeah, yeah, got it.
What do you mean the exile disappeared?
And who died?
What if William...
It's not William!
Maybe they are the followers of the high priest.
Then, where is William?
The hills we passed yesterday was the only path to Gang Jin.
He might still be hiding in the forest somewhere.
William...
I hope nothing happened to him.
Who are you? And where am I?
Since you're asking me where you are, you must have regained your consciousness.
I found this while I was treating you.
(*** Pae: Certificate verifying the person is a royal secret inspector on a special mission of the king)
Did anyone else see this?
No way.
I live here by myself away from the people's world.
Do you remember that you were unconscious for last 2 days?
Then...
This man carried you all the way here.
You lost a lot of blood so you might have died if you came any later.
Park Gyu, you're awake.
I guess I owe you one.
Let's get ready to leave.
Park Gyu, you can't move with your condition now.
You need to take some rest.
This wound is nothing.
Young scholar, your passion is amazing!
But, you have to know your limits.
Well... The core of the burning fire is supposed to be cooler.
Keeping oneself calm and warming the surroundings... Isn't that the true meaning of passion?
While making ceramics for a long time, I saw ceramics, which were glazed insufficiently
or were mishapen, getting broken in pieces...
It was for about 40 years...
I've seen several thousands of them.
If you don't fully rest now,
although it may feel okay now, you'll suffer a lot in the end.
You'd better listen to him.
Yes, Park Gyu. What if we leave now when you're not fully recovered,
and get attacked by those suspicious guys again?
Then, please excuse us for staying here for a little longer.
I'll surely pay you back for your trouble later.
Pay me back? That's not necessary.
Although soil with different characteristics are put in one pot,
they are made as a ceramic as they are mixed together.
While living in Chosun together,
and... so.... helping one another when needed is...
For people with the blood of Chosun.
it is like.. like.. the inborn .... inborn nature?
Do you know what I want to say through this?
So, don't mention it.
Anyway, I think you need to see a doctor...
I'll go visit a doctor.
Then, it's all good.
Although this is not a product to be sold at the market,
since it is about a human life...
Awww, this is a bloody good one....
Here you go.
Thanks.
That's my masterpiece.
Take care.
Good bye.
What do you want?
Was there anyone who bought the medicine for a stab wound yesterday or today?
Who are you?
There was a person who just bought it some while ago.
Who is it?!
Park Gyu, have you seen these before?
This is called a kiln.
Right from here, these beautiful ceramics are made.
Why didn't you go?
Huh?
You had a chance to leave me alone and run away.
Did you wish I was gone when you woke up?
Aren't you angry with me?
I am forcefully taking you to Hanyang.
Taking me to there is your job, right?
I don't blame you for that.
If I blame you,
it'll be for a different reason.
Are you still thinking about Beo Jin?
Aigoo!
Do you think the exile and William are there?
Otherwise, why would they come all the way here in the forest?
As bandits rampaged around,
the royal secret inspector who was going to Hanyang is missing.
Meanwhile, the prisoners he was taking died.
Then, are they the ones who disguised as bandits?
I should tell William and the exile about this!
Who are you?! What's all this violence for?!
I heard the police were coming to patrol, but you came this early?
I ran home quickly as the police said that they would follow me soon. You are so fast and quiet as rats.
Since it is an isolated house in the forest, I have been invaded by bandits many times.
Whenever I report to the police, you never came even after you said you would come soon so many times. This time, you came as soon as I reported...
But, you are not wearing the uniform...
Then, who are you?
You shattered my precious ceramics!
Do you think I would let you get away with this?! Do you know what these mean to me?!
You must pay for them before you go!
The production cost is not that much, so you can just go.
I'll take care of it.
Let's go.
Leave now!
You don't have to come next time!
I'll just take it!
Now, you can come out.
Who are you?
Wait a minute.
William...
Beo Jin...
Exile...
I thought i would never see you again...
Who..are you?
Every night with my Gyu...?
Sometimes.
No way, my Gyu did?!
we'll be able to meet again someday.
