The Merchant: Gaekju 2015 (장사의 신 - 객주 2015)

Take me with you.

What?

What are you saying?

Please take me with you.

Oh... that's really thoughtful, but...

Well, to be honest, I'm very confused.

So I...

But yeah. It's not like you have bad spirits.

No bad spirits at all, but...

To take care of a family,

to make a family...

Oh wait. Before making families, I need to find my sister.

I want to become a female peddler.

A female peddler?

Oh...

Episode 8...

Hurry up! Hurry up!

Watch your step, okay?

Mistress!

Seo-Lin!

Hurry up!

Let's hurry up. The sun is setting.

A weird stranger popped out of nowhere,

and he's trying to take my Seo-Lin away!

The day's getting darker.

I can't let it be. I can't!

Oh, man. I'm sorry.

Sorry, my mind must went out somewhere, like over there or something.

What do you think a female peddler is?

You were trapped in fence,

and now you're flying like the clouds up there,

so you think it'll be fun and free, huh?

You've never had a blister on your foot before.

And you've probably never carried your belongings on your head...

But a female peddler?

I've been to a crowded field in Gaeseong with my father-in-law before.

I've been to a market in Hanyang.

I know how to take care of myself.

You were just trying to save this body out of the river,

but I'm being a burden, huh?

Let me follow you to get a peddler's permit and get help getting the goods.

Then I won't bother you furthermore.

Just up to that point.

Please help me.

You desperately want to leave, huh?

What is...

the reason for it?

Oh! There she is!

Mistress!

Seo-Lin!

You were here, huh?

Oh, my sister!

Are you okay?

Put this on.

Are you okay?

Is she okay?

Move, move. Oh, Seo-Lin!

Seo-Lin!

You didn't get hurt? Huh?

Your father-in-law did this!

It's because I told him that I'm taking you with me.

He thinks his money is going to waste, so he was trying to kill you...

Father.

That's not something you should say right now.

Huh?

Don't you need to thank the man that saved my life?

I'm busy enough to think how I'm going to pay him the gratitude back.

Gratitude?

Yes, we need to pay the gratitude back.

If we're human-beings, of course, we need to pay him back.

Of course. Gratitude is there to pay back.

To pay the gratitude back, / "Sun-dol"

you can give him your daughter.

What? You damn bastard!

What are you staring at?

So, how can this gratitude be paid back with money?

Or even with gold or silver?

It must be paid back with the heart. The heart.

This courageous and righteous young merchant...

I mean Sir Young Merchant, please accept this old man's bow.

Oh, no... Don't...

Don't, don't...

Alright, let's go. Escort her.

What?

Seo-Lin, let's go. Seo-Lin.

Let go of me.

I must say thank you to the savior.

I already paid him back with the heart. Let's go.

Father. Father! / Hurry! Let's go.

Go, go!

Man, it's ringing.

Ugh! That short-tempered man!

Hey!

So did you hold hands with the lady?

Or...

put your lips on hers?

How dare a punk say such say nasty words!

I'm Sun-dol!

You left your belongings with me.

Here!

You're like a dog that was chasing a chicken.

Hey, you pathetic fool.

You jumped for your life to save her,

I believe that the Great Wall is big,

but I have to believe that you didn't hold her wrist, too?

Such a fool.

Stupid.

It's blood!

You're bleeding from both nostrils!

Oh, my precious blood!

That short-tempered man!

He's damn strong.

Take me with you.

There's no medicine for lovesick.

You're not sleeping?

My fellow has been

lying down, getting up, sighing, and touching his heart....

he's going crazy. Would you be able to sleep?

What about the clothes? They're not dried up.

It's not late yet.

You think saving a person's life is common?

Let's go follow her. Go!

To that woman who looks like an angel in a full moon

say, "I saved you. So marry me!"

That's nonsense.

I have to find my sister and a new place to do business.

Why would I go follow her?

I'm not going.

I thought you were a man. But you're a girl, huh?

Go to sleep now.

Ask me once?

Let's go together!

Oh, man.

I'm the one who was saying it. And now you're going alone?

So cheap.

Senility, senility.

He has never given any kisaeng attention.

But now this old man is about to get lovesick.

Why did you bring the portrait?

You're afraid that

Cho Seung-deuk's daughter will take over Shin's Gaekju house, huh?

What are you saying?

You're afraid that Shin Suk-ju may bear a child.

You've been under Shin Suk-ju for 30 years to become his successor.

You're afraid to become a dog chasing after a chicken, huh?

There's no way he can bear a child.

He can. Very well.

If a man has strength to hold a spoon, that's enough to bear a child.

Especially our Head Merchant, who works out a lot,

can definitely bear a child.

Collect money.

To take of Shin's Gaekju, what you need is money.

Money!

In my position, where would I get the money?

Isn't there poppy? Poppy?

Opium?

Opi...

Shh!

The days of fighting with spears and swords are gone.

You need money to bribe the three ministers and six board members of the government.

And you need money to take over Yook-ei-jeon.

Isn't now the era of fighting with money?

Let me know if you're interested. I'll support you.

Head Merchant!

Head Merchant!

They're here.

What?

Oh wow! Look who's here!

It's you Merchant Song.

What brings you all the way here, Merchant Song?

Wow. I can't believe Merchant Song came to my house. Welcome to...

I have to sell some goods to you.

Goods?

This isn't it.

Get up. Let's go.

Oh, okay.

You're more timid than you look.

Is it because you're aging?

You're not the Kim Hak-jun that you used to be.

Back in the day, you would've drooled over this Song-pa Stable deed.

I would love to eat it,

but to eat it with my old teeth, it seems too tough to chew.

I can't go out far. Bye.

Wait.

Eat a bowl of skate rice, which is our gaekju's special dish.

I'm not that hungry.

From Kangkyeong to Song-pa is 500 kilometers.

How can I dare to let our gaekju guests

leave without serving them a meal?

Fine.

Let me try a Kangkyeong gaekju's food.

So-Hong.

Go ahead.

Yes.

This is a good fortune that fell into our lap.

Isn't Song-pa Stable the hottest place in Chosun?

So-Hong. You can't eat everything you want to eat.

Of course, there must be a problem because it's so cheap.

You said there's some money you didn't receive at Chaek-moon.

That money went around and finally came back to you.
