The Night Watchman (야경꾼 일지)

Episode 8

Hey, Dried Turnip!

Now I know what 'pictures for adults' are! Come out!

Open the door!

Yes, I have to throw myself at him. That's the only way.

Sir...

- May I talk to you? - Give it to me.

I don't want to. Don't knock on my door!

Dried turnip? Get out of my way.

What is it?

So...

Sir!

I'll wait.

I'll wait until you forget about the person in your heart.

What is it?

So...

I'll wait.

I'll wait until you forget about the person in your heart.

I will.

Don't waste your time like that.

Don't waste your precious time on me.

That's up to me!

I'll live my life, wasting my time then!

So it's a farce that you're the best swordsman in the kingdom.

When you got injured like that...

If I got injured this much, to the opponent...

I shall not boast.

So what are you going to do with me?

So why did you run away?

If you're innocent, you should've stayed behind and proven your innocence.

Do you think he'd wait for me forever

if I tell him 'I'm innocent! Please give me some time!'

It must have been something so innocent if it takes forever to prove it.

Don't talk back to me.

Again?

Why do you always fight when you're together?

Like my Aung and Daung.

Aung and Daung? Who are they?

- Well... - Perhaps...

Your dogs?

- Not dogs... - Then?

My pigs.

Don't get too offended. They're very cute.

So are you saying that we're pigs?

Hey! How could a girl just grab a man's arm like that?

He's just an injured person. Not a man or woman.

I hope it doesn't get infected.

I'll do it myself.

How about me?

I'm injured here too.

So?

Can you take care of it too?

Do you not remember when you broke the medicine bottle I gave you?

That's because...

Forget it.

You two should make nice. Okay?

The King is here, my Queen.

Let him in.

Grandmother... I drank a bit too much that night.

I don't remember if I did anything rude to offend you...

Grandmother...

Nothing happened.

You must think about your health. You shouldn't drink too much.

Yes, I won't drink too much from now on.

My King.

It must be very tiring.

I understand how difficult it is to carry out your duties.

I know that even your blankets feel so burdensome

it feels as if your blankets are choking you.

I understand very well, my King.

What do you want from me?

Why are you being so nice to me?

Why? Just as your grandmother...

Tell me now!

Do you think I'm stupid? Without any reason...

You wouldn't be this nice to me without any reason.

My King!

Did you think that I'll be so thankful if you just hold my hands?

Do you think you're doing me a big favor by just holding my hands?

Don't expect the things you want from me.

I'll never grant your wishes.

My King...

Greetings, my King.

What brings you here?

It seemed like the Queen Dowager is very concerned about Prince Wolgang...

He's a traitor!

How could you speak of the sinner's name in front of me?

Be careful from now on.

When it's too much...

It can be poisonous. Be it drinking...

Or dark magic.

The King looked upset.

Did something happen?

Nothing happened.

What would they do when they find out that you put a sword on the Queen Dowager?

No, no! I didn't put the sword on my grandmother!

It doesn't matter to whom you put your sword on.

The only thing that matters is that you drew your sword in front of her!

That's enough for them to remove you!

In this land of filial piety, the King violated that principle...

No... He committed an immoral sin!

They'll be so happy!

Shut up! That's not the case!

That's right. You're not at fault.

You only briefly lost your mind under the spell of dark magic.

Dark magic?

You should blame everything on that priest.

Say that you lost your mind briefly as you fell victim to his tricks.

Do it.

I'm here, my King.

Do it!

My King, the energy in the sky is acting up.

Do elaborate.

Your energy affects the entire kingdom.

It seems as if the capital is becoming a gigantic forge

because of your fiery energy.

You must calm your fiery energy down.

So then... What should I do?

You need to remove the hot energy that's in the capital.

To do that, we must open the northern gate...

Shut up!

Don't try to trick me with things that can't be seen anymore!

My King...

The Royal Court is whispering that I'm putting the kingdom in danger with dark magic.

Why don't you just suggest that we should hold a big ritual in the palace?

You'll be overwhelmed by the dark energy of fire!

You shall not trick me with such words!

I shall not be played by your tongue anymore.

Do you think I'm that weak?

My King! Please understand my loyalty to you!

I've let you stay beside me until now. But...

My illness is still not cured!

I need to think about your future. You may leave.

I really can't get used to disgrace.

I continue to be disgraced by someone that should be under my feet.

Are you here looking for consolation from me?

You've come to the wrong place.

We had a deal.

I saved your life in the mountain...

Then you promised me that you'll give me anything I want.

That's correct.

But I'm not quite sure in what ways you've been helpful to me.

Will you actually help me out sometime?

What do you want?

The monopoly on the capital's medical herb supply.

You must have what you want. All of it!

Ho Jo...

Yes, sir.

Call the fire ghost.

Okay.

So, this guy helped the criminal to escape!

The capital has been panic-stricken! Full of wanted persons!

This is quite ominous.

- Get out of my way! - What is this?

Are you working instead of Wolmae?

Then should we just send away all these customers?

Sir! Please stop Wolmae!

She's drinking herself to death!

- What? - More wine! Now!

She'll drink all the wine for sale at this rate!

Damn it!

You're the only person in this kingdom that I can order to attack me.

Make Wolgang think that you're his Ye Yang.

That is my order.

You startled me!

Why is he so startled?

Sir!

Thank you so much for everything.

My life in the capital would've been harder if it weren't for you.

Are you planning on leaving?

Yes.

Good idea.

Go back to Mount Baekdu and never come back.

I'm not going back to Mount Baekdu. There are still things that I need to do.

I have a question for you.

What is it?

Have you ever heard of the Night Watchmen?

The Night Watchmen...

My godmother told me to find the Night Watchmen.

She said they'll know something about my sister.

But I don't know where to find them.

And I don't think this is something that I can just ask anyone out there.

You're from the Mago Tribe, right?

Yes.

What is your sister's name?

It's Yeon Ha. The Shaman of Mago.

My sister is as beautiful as her pretty name.

I'll give my everything to making the medicine to cure the Prince.

A piece of advice for you.

Sometimes it's best to not dig out something that's well-hidden.

Finding the truth isn't always the best.

Why do you say that?

Just my life experience.

The kids told me this after my sister disappeared.

Everyone around me is leaving because I'm ominous.

The man had a distinctive scent.

A scent that I smelled before...

Try to guess!

The hints are 'poison' and 'fire.'

It works as an antidote.
