The Good Thieves (도둑놈, 도둑님)

Min Jae.

Min Jae.

Min Jae.

What are you talking about?

Are you stalking me?

Why do you keep coming and say such nonsense to me?

Please stop lying to me.

I already know everything.

I heard you talking to the director of the orphanage on the phone.

I understand why you pretend not to know me.

You were only 15 back then.

You must've been so sorrowful that you decided to leave your family.

But I've never forgotten about you.

I even thought of you in my dreams.

You must miss your family too.

I'm sure you've gone through a lot all alone.

Please leave the past behind...

and come to us as a family.

No.

That's out of the question.

The Min Jae you remember died on the day...

his mother passed away.

Before Mom passed away, I pitied you...

and tried to understand you.

Even when you brought a kid home and broke Mom's heart,

I did my best to put up with it.

I bore up the sadness...

when you favored the kid only.

But my family was torn apart when you stole something...

once again.

- Min Jae. - Do not call me by that name.

Who is Min Jae?

I understand how you feel.

You don't.

You can never understand it.

The children in the town bullied me...

because my dad was a thief even before I entered elementary school.

Did you know about this?

Mom got caught picking a pumpkin...

in someone else's farm because we were starving.

When she heard that she was the same as her thief husband,

her heart was broken into pieces.

You don't know about it, do you?

Still, Dol Mok meant...

everything to you.

Go take care of him and stop bothering me.

But...

I'm still your father.

Where were you then?

You were put in jail when I barely remembered your face.

Where were you when I really needed you?

Where were you...

when my mom died?

You've never been there for me...

when I desperately needed you.

I'm sorry.

But for the sake of Dol Mok...

Stop talking about Dol Mok!

Dol Mok has always been number one to you.

I was living my life fairly well. Why do you come and make me mad?

Let me make it clear.

Never talk about me to Dol Mok.

Or I'll hate you for the rest of my life.

And make him stop what he is doing now...

if he doesn't want to rot in prison forever.

What... What are you talking about?

Ask Dol Mok yourself.

I no longer want to be entangled with you.

Go take care and keep an eye on Dol Mok.

Welcome.

Sir.

I saw the poster outside.

You're looking for a part-timer, right?

- How old are you? - I'm 15.

You're too young. Leave.

Hiring a teenager is against the law.

Sir, you don't have to pay me.

Just let me sleep and eat in here.

I'm really hungry and have nowhere to go.

- Please help me. - You brat.

Did you run away from your house? You'd better go back home.

The world outside is harsher than you think.

Can I have more pickles?

Sure.

Here you are.

How do you like the food?

Hello. Have this.

Here.

You can keep the change.

Thank you so much!

Follow me.

- How dare you work on my turf? - You brat.

- Shoot. - Get up. Check his pocket.

There's no such a thing here.

Hey, tell me how much you got.

- I earned the money myself. - Shut it.

If you want to work there,

pay for the space you use.

What is this?

- What... - Give it back now.

You want it back?

No way.

Why do you tear my book?

Are you insane? You runt!

What are you doing there?

Stop right there, you brats.

Goodness.

- Are you okay? - Yes.

I would've returned then if I wanted.

I strove so hard to be where I am without your help.

Why do you want me now?

My heart is already torn apart.

It's too late!

Never talk about me to Dol Mok.

Or I'll hate you for the rest of my life.

And make him stop what he is doing now...

if he doesn't want to rot in prison forever.

Gosh.

May I touch this?

Sure.

Have you ever been to such a room like this?

No, I haven't.

I guess you like Japanese style.

I do.

I love Japanese warriors.

Takeda Shingen from the Sengoku period...

used to be my role model when I was young.

Do you know what "furinkazan" means?

"It's as swift as the wind..."

"and as gentle as forest."

"It's as fierce as fire when one steals."

"It's as unshakable as mountain when one stays put."

This is the slogan...

adorned on Takeda Shingen's banner.

With that power,

Japan struck fear into the world.

I'm sorry to say this,

but Takeda Shingen stole the quote...

from Sun Tzu's "The Art of War".

Besides, those who can't fight only run their mouths.

They started a war for no reason and caused trouble for nearby nations.

They kicked the bucket after getting hit by a nuclear bomb.

But why did you want to see me?

I called you in...

because you are Yoon Ho's attorney. I was just curious.

I see.

I didn't do much.

I refused because I figured he would have many lawyers from the company,

but he insisted that I be his lawyer.

From what I remember, when you were young,

you didn't get along with Yoon Ho.

If my memory serves me right,

you broke into your principal's house...

and stole the safe.

That happened ages ago.

Sir, I guess you tend to hold grudges.

It's just that I can't get my head around it.

Because of that, Yoon Ho had to appear in the prosecutors' office.

How can you...

be Yoon Ho's attorney now?

It's the way of life.

Yesterday's enemy is today's friend.

On top of that, he's going to be the owner of Cheonmun Group.

I ought to be in his good graces.

During the Sengoku period, swords held power,

but in this capitalist society,

money is power.

You are an attorney after all.

What does...

this picture look like to you?

It just looks like a mountain.

Is this a Japanese mountain?

Honey, did the people from the antique shop...

come because of that?

- No, that wasn't it. - Then why did they visit you?

They needed to ask me...

about a stolen, cultural property.

I have to go to the prosecutors' office.

It's your day off.

I'm sorry. I'm behind on paperwork.

Goodness.

Ma'am, did you see his face?

He definitely looked nervous.

What on earth happened?

Why was the inlaid tea bowl which is on the list of the treasures...

from the Goryeo period at his house?

There's only one reason for that.

Yoon Jae Hong, the grandfather of Yoon Joong Tae, took it.

Are you implying that Mr. Yoon pocketed the tea bowl?

It's possible that they might have...

sold off a few to come up with the funds for their escape.

If that's true, why would that tea bowl still be at his house?

The same goes for "Samdaemok".

Weren't you informed that it came from Yoon Joong Tae's father?

Something is definitely off.

That old man is as cunning as a snake.

Why did he want to see me?

Did he find something on me?

Why is this out here?

Dad.
