Head lady!

What bastard is howling out

there in the middle of the night?

What the hell?

Just a tiny problem, General Lee.

What's going on here?

There is a private party here

tonight.

So we must turn away our

other guests.

Take that and go play

somewhere else.

My friend there says he doesn't

want to hear another man's voice.

Why does something smell like sh*t?

Why that...

If you want to play, you must

know whom you're playing with.

Set up our table.

My Lord.

Raising your hand?

Say, how can you raise your

hand against a woman?

Are you really a man?

You like to do your drinking

here, is that right?

Then, let's make a wager.

A wager?

Yes.

We will fight with fists.

My side will pick one person,

and your side will pick one person.

Whoever loses will pay the

winner's bill.

No hard feelings.

The loser pays for the winner?

Very generous.

Okay, come on.

Which of you is going to fight?

After the match, we'll know

who's the best.

Good luck, General Lee!

Thanks for nothing.

Hong Pal, you bastard.

General Lee?

At least now we know...

we're the losers.

Here. Give me a receipt.

Aigoo. He's so happy about

getting punched.

Next time someone has to get

a beating, just call me.

I won't complain.

If you like getting hit so much,

try winning next time.

Okay.

Your poor little face.

Wow, hyeongnim!

What is this magic?

What is this grass for?

Be careful. It's poison grass.

Don't you know about this grass

from the Eastern Medicine Book?

What does it say?

Nothing.

Teasing me again.

Tomorrow evening,

cotton cloth is taken directly from

markets on Unjong road.

Be prepared.

It will certainly suit the tastes

of the warehouse guards.

Aigoo. You're all crooked.

A person should dress neatly so

no one can look down on them.

- Understand?

- Yes.

Gyeon, go to the fabric shop

and look for a man named Choe.

Give this to him.

Choe will handle the rest.

It's up to you now.

Yes.

Okay. Then, let's get going.

We're not going tonight, are we?

It's time.

- But you just told Gyeon...

- Gyeon should not be involved.

Gyeon is too kind. He won't be

able to handle something like this.

Little things are no problem.

But this kind of thing might get

him killed.

Keeping Gyeon safe is a good

thing.

You should have told me.

I'm always the last to know.

Have a pleasant journey.

Who are you?

I've always wanted to know.

Someone who makes such

delicious rice soup,

what kind of person would

they be?

What?

Skin as fair as the rice soup.

Such exquisite beauty.

Can you feel it?

It's boiling just like the

rice soup...

My heart.

It should be completed within

the hour.

Aigoo, you're all working so hard!

Open it!

Wait a moment.

Before we move the goods,

we wish to inspect it by

smoking a bit.

As you wish.

I learned this in the Qing Dynasty.

If you roll it in this paper and

smoke it, you can really savor

the taste.

How about it? Would some of

you like to try it?

Since you're offering, we accept

your generosity.

Young people should try a lot

of new things.

I don't smoke.

Really?

I get a lot of phlegm,

so I don't like tobacco.

You might regret it.

Watch carefully how I do it.

After you put it in like this...

Roll, roll, roll. And then...

Like this.

It's very strong.

Pretty cool, huh?

One. Two. Three.

- Why are you counting?

- Four. Five.

You must feel faint...

When offered a smoke,

you should smoke.

You make a person feel bad.

My Lord, it's about to come out.

Okay, we'll see you later!

I'm so tired my arms are

about to fall off.

I really wish I could help you.

But since it's your disguise,

I will have to bear it somehow.

So you are Gyeon.

Yes.

Read this.

He asked me to give this to you.

He wants you to take this and

return to your hometown.

It should be enough to buy 500

acres and farm rice.

Who wants money?

They were my family.

Wherever my family is,

that is my hometown.

Where should I go now?

Someone emptied out the

dampago warehouse.

It's them.

It's a large quantity.

They will need an intermediary

who can deal directly with the

Qing Dynasty.

In all of Hanyang, there is

only one person.

Bright Moon, you must listen

to me today.

My baby.

He's coming.

Is the snowman ready?

It's ready.

Please inspect the goods.

He came out.

Has the snowman fallen into

the Han River?

Why are you bringing me to

the docks?

Because the snowman is

floating in the river.

Hyeongnim!

Am I too late?

Where is my dampago?

Where is the snowman?

Let me see it.

Aigoo. Why are you so

anxious today?

That's good.

Oh no! My bird flew away!

I'm sorry!

At long last, we meet.

I've been anxious to meet you.

Don't get so mushy.

Someone might misunderstand

that we're in love.

It seems like he's here to

visit with you.

You two have a nice chat.

See you later.

Dwarf, stop right there!

I heard about the dampago theft.

My gut tells me you're involved.

Today, I can finally capture the

one who stole public funds and

bring Master of Lies to justice.

Master of Lies?

We're only lowly fruit merchants.

Your fence has already told us

this boat is filled with dampago.

Give yourselves up immediately!

Wait!

Today, it would be better if

you went home,

if you don't want to see all this

dampago turn into smoke.

Go ahead and burn it.

Do you have any idea how

much it's worth?

It's up to you!

Then...

watch carefully.

Don't!

Catch them!

Yes!

It's all burning, now what?

You crazy bastard!

Catch them!

Catch them!

Split up!

Yes!

This way!

Catch them!

Get them!

Dwarf, stop!

Move!

Catch him!

I'll put you down.

Hurry, catch him!

Stop!

Kim In Hong!

Come on!

Where is it?

Where is it?

Where is the dampago?

Where is it?

I smoked it all.

I inhaled and exhaled.

Inhaled and exhaled.

It was great!

There a big problem, my lord!

The dampago has all burned up!

I thought we'd never lose them.

There's not a bit left.

If his excellency finds out...

We...

are all dead men.

Gyeon?

How is it Gyeon?

That's him.

It's that f***ing traitor.

You've come, Uncle.

Is this kid him?

Well... that...

I think he's much too young.

Maybe if he stuck his beard

back on again...

Tell me clearly.

Is it him or not?

Well...

I am Kim In Hong.

I once sold a phoenix that was

really a chicken.

I stole gold from the king's

treasury.

I am the brilliant and famous

Master of Lies, Kim In Hong!

Where is the rest of your group?

You want the great Master of

Lies to betray his family?

I'm not that kind of person.

We are one family.

It's too bad for those eyes.

No!

What would you prefer?

I can't understand a dog

like you...

This is what I prefer.

That guy was not Kim In Hong.

Hyeongnim, I'll be leaving first.

Gyeon!

Gyeon!

Gyeon!

Please open your eyes.

Gyeon! Gyeon!

Open your eyes.

Gyeon!

We have to go.

Come to your senses!

the Qing Dynasty=-

How is Dou Ba Tai doing?

He has become my right hand.
