REVENGE:
(THE RED FLUTE)
Prologue
Why does she always
run in the same direction?
The sea is on that side, Sire.
That's where she was born.
If even a being
as small as the turtle
has goals,
then what about man?
To what ends should he employ
his supreme efforts?
Down here, the humble
have only one purpose:
Stop!
The heir to the throne
may have involved himself in a fight.
Who is this child
who quarrels with the prince?
I'll dismiss him, Your Majesty.
No.
If they quarrel, we'll observe them.
You should be ashamed.
Minister for the army!
Who is the bravest
warrior of the kingdom?
Khon Guk, Your Majesty.
The head of the palace guard.
Let him come here!
I am here, Your Majesty.
I intend to make a proclamation:
the captain of the guard
is relieved of his duties.
I appointed him tutor
of the heir to the throne.
The tutor...
shall ensure that in 20 years
the prince will
the best warrior in the kingdom.
To that end, he may do
everything he judges necessary.
He is therefore not accountable
for the life of the prince.
But if at the end of this period...
my wish is not fulfilled,
the tutor of the heir to the throne
will be executed.
Chancellor!
Distribute this proclamation
among the royal provisions.
The late Khon Guk has done his duty,
I will recognize him for his services.
But devil knows how many other
have supported him in
the cruel trials
he made me overcome.
I often escaped death by a miracle,
and I am now invincible.
You are my dearest friend.
I love listening to you,
my dear poet.
My skillful warrior
will always be at your service.
Sire, the executioners are here
as you wanted.
Let them begin!
Why do we execute this man?
As a faithful soldier,
he fought a duel with the King
while curbing his enthusiasm.
Why don't you grant him
your mercy?
He had Your Majesty down on the ground
but has not wounded you in any way.
He acted as a faithful servant
who loves his lord.
They say
If you still want to measure yourself to me,
I concede.
No, Sire, I rather prefer to die.
Beat him to death!
It is his will.
Forget about such trifles.
Let the dearest friend of the King
recite his verses!
We shall hear them with joy.
Poetry should not be born
out of an execution.
I will forsake it then.
Go then!
Away with you!
Music.
What's wrong with you?
Does you still wish to be my poet?
An act of justice, Your Majesty.
Injustice is not a field
fertile for poetry.
I see since some time that
the dear friend of the King is not happy.
What thoughts disturb
our prodigious poet?
to move out from the palace.
What? Why?
My inspiration has dried up
by your strength.
Grant her her freedom
or she will die.
In the name of our friendship,
which was a source of joy for me.
I beg you for it.
Fine. You may leave.
You're free to go away
this very moment.
But from now on,
you shall not see me ever again.
I want to find refuge
become a being
without an understanding of things
like one has before
coming to the world.
Soon I will realize my plan.
I'll get happy
without looking back.
And without any regret in my soul.
My verses are useless to the world.
They have seen the light of day in vain.
In vain.
This is how we, poets,
with our unattainable dreams.
there were already printed books in Korea.
This land gave birth to
the first professional poets.
Book 1 - Yan
Open up!
Hey, you! Open up!
Open the door!
Wait.
Master Yan,
look for another refuge.
We no longer
can afford to feed you.
I went into town to buy clothes.
That is not our concern.
It's cold outside.
At least let me in for this night.
- I'll find another home tomorrow.
- Find it now.
Wait!
Call Tsai! I want to talk
with the master of the house!
He is the one chasing you away.
Go away.
Go inside, quickly.
Silence! Be silent!
Repeat after me:
"Mie".Silence!
I'm tired of your fooling around.
You're just asses,
good-for-nothings.
Silence! Be silent.
Read and repeat.
You, daughter of Tsai,
you're an ass like the others.
Only daughter, think!
You haven't learned anything...
Your father forbade me to punish you.
You're talking...
He killed my daughter!
My little girl!
He killed my daughter!
Stop!
Stop!
Stop!
Stop it!
From that day Yan lived
aboard a jonk
on sail towards the Chinese coasts.
Book 2 - Tsai
An atrocious crime.
After such an incident,
we will never find back
peace on this earth.
We must revenge ourselves.
If we don't, heaven will turn away from us,
as if we were vile beasts
unworthy to exist.
Take my land in rent
for 10 years, Mr. Gu.
I'll ask you the equivalent
of half a crop.
In ten years,
you will earn three times more.
Well, I'll take it,
but on one condition:
I will take your land
and give you
half the sum in bills
that you can cash in China.
Isn't that where you are going?
I went to China
searching for Yan.
But China is a vast land.
It is not easy to find someone there.
I crossed it from town to town
for many years,
when I finally learned that Yan
could be found in the silver mines.
I had hunted for so long
for a swift consumption
of my vengeance.
I had waited a decade
for this moment.
Out,
this is not a place for ladies.
Excuse me, do you
have shoes for me?
Mine have worn away on the road.
I come from afar.
This woman
came out of nowhere
prevented me
from concentrating.
I had to keep my mind clear
to accomplish my revenge.
I'll wash your feet
and heal your wounds.
Thank you, brother.
Here! Take.
These are mine,
they will be useful.
Thank you.
You will not be able to achieve
your plan, sir.
I am weak...
but I must kill him.
Man should not commit homicide.
Follow me, sir, please.
If you come with me,
you'll live.
You have won.
But you're intervened in vain.
You did not grant us our revenge.
Why have you come back?
Take a concubine.
We find a poor girl
or a young widow
that will give you a son.
Are you listening?
Are you listening?
Tsai soon took a concubine,
daughter of an impoverished widow.
Book 3 - Nemaya
She falls asleep
before nightfall.
My Nemaya goes to bed early
When she sleeps,
it is impossible to wake her up.
Hedgehogs proliferate.
They cry out
similar to hares...
or ducklings.
Who would have thought?
Do not be angry with her.
She is retarded.
She does not understand everything,
she had a mind like a child.
But she works hard...
and will surely
give you a son.
Sun Gu,
you wrote new verses?
Yes, master.
Answer.
