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

Final Episode

Hyung Man Chi.

Gom Bae.

Merchant Elder Hwang.

You should all stop.

I... went to the Investigation Bureau with my own two feet.

With these two feet, I'm walking there.

Don't even lie, Hyungnim !

You rascal, Gom Bae! In order to save my own life,

would I take away our comrades' lives?!

Fellow comrades; please look over here, Although, the 'peddler's guild' may disappear...

does the incarnation of a mind still perish?

Hwan-Nan-Gu-Hyul

It is a good deed by selling goods: (where it becomes beneficial to the people).

When things are rough, we fellow comrades help one another...

Does the sound mind for the Bobuecheong disappear?

I'm not sad.

As long as the mind and spirit of the Peddlers Guild is intensely kept in your hearts...

even if I'm beheaded by that cold and fearful sword,

I'm not afraid nor do I feel it is unfair.

The Peddlers guild was created to instill harmonious living amongst everyone,

but was not created to die in each-others' arms. No, sir.

In your hands,

you must hold the grain that saves the people

and you must hold the money to feed your families.

You must not hold weapons that harm or kill people.

Now, lower your weapons.

This is

Peddlers Guild Leader Cheon Bong Sam's

final command.

What are you all doing by not following his command?

Each 'peddler's organizations...

today, from this moment forward, I disband all my comrades.

I can't follow that order.

I will follow you to the investigative bureau.

That's right! We, your comrades, will see you off.

Let's go!

Let's go ...!-Let's go!!

Now, disband them already.

Leave.

Enough now and go back home.

Representative!

I have 3 things to tell you, only. Sir.

First, expect for I, in regards to the 'incident of Lee Hyeun market, '

please do not reprimand anyone, sir.

Second, whether they are a part of your royal sector, Royal Secretariat.

Whether they work at the Yugijeon.

Or set up shop on their own,

you must let my comrades follow their respective paths.

Alright.

Third and finally,

who is imprisoned with gunshot wounds,

please release and reprieve inmate named Chae Dol immediately.

Sun Dol, right now, he needs treatment immediately.

Well, that isn't a difficult matter.

Take away the criminal.

Yes, sir.

Sun Dol, I beg of you.

Ouch! It hurts!

Look here, look here Western doctor!

How is he?

How is he?

He doesn't look like he's going to make it.

He says it's already too late for treatment.

You've worked hard.

What did the Western doctor say?

He said you're alright, what else?

First off, he will eliminate the pain and he said that he'd

prescribe medicine to get rid of the abscessed areas.

Sun Dol, when I die, I want to be next to Teacher Bong.

Who said you're going to die?!

It's not even an arrow but a bullet buried deep inside my body. How is that going to be removed?

I also heard that if the bullet can't be removed, that I'd die.

Don't say anything to Teacher Bong.

If he knows, he'll have a difficult time.

Sinner, Cheon Bong Sam, has purposely disrupted the

trade agreement between Joseon and Japan,

and even instigated an underling to harm the life of a Japanese merchant.

For the crime of disrupting the trade relations between Joseon and Japan,

according to the penal code, the sinner shall be hung to death.

Royal Secretariat!

Didn't you already know of it?

Drag him away!

Yes, sir!

Teacher Bong! What was the verdict?

B-By any chance, it wouldn't be that, right?

You didn't do anything wrong.

It wouldn't be, right? It won't be.

It's okay.

I already knew and was prepared for it. It's alright.

What to do?

What to do?

Royal Secretariat.

It turned out as you had expected.

As had been expected? Are you saying that you will be killing our representative?

Aigoo!

Merchant Elder!

If you were going to kill him like this, why did you become his friend and

why did you enter our Songpa Stable?!

If our Gaekju Hyungnim really passes away,

I will really,

I will really!

You may not believe me but,

Gom Bae, I also

as much as you

as much as you are,

I'm hurting.

Merchant Elder

Merchant Elder

Please save him! Please save him, Your Majesty!

Please save Cheon Bong Sam's life.

Your Majesty!

As the shaman of Gooksadang, how can you be acting so frivolously about a man's life?

Please at least spare his life, Your Majesty!

It's something that the Japanese Embassy is monitoring carefully.

If we're not careful there could be war between the two countries!

Jinryeonggun. You should now fold on this situation.

Your Majesty...

Your Majesty!

Your Majesty! Your Highness!

The start of this conundrum is the Royal Secretariat and you, Head Merchant!

Even if your highness doesn't berate me,

I am well aware that it's my fault and I'm also tormented enough.

Enough, did you say?

What torments you is the fact that you cornered your friend into death

Isn't it to lighten your guilty conscience?

Your Highness, Jinryeonggun!

If only you hadn't schemed,

at least we could've saved Merchant Cheon with the ginseng trading rights.

Then, what would you like me to do now?

We have to save Cheon Bong Sam.

How am I supposed to block his execution?

If the two of us put our lives on the line,

we'll be able to save him.

Open the door.- Yes, sir.

Seon Dol, take me away.

Hurry.

If I absolutely have to leave,

I'll first send you off and then go.

Hyungnim, the Western doctor is waiting. Let's hurry up and go.

I'm not going to see him! I'm never going to leave!

Hurry up and go. Hurry.

Bong Sam! Bong Sam.

Wait, he said I'd be seeing a Western doctor but it's you.

We escorted you here to discuss Merchant Cheon's matter.

It's already decided that he's going to die, so what's left to discuss?

If there is someone among the prisoners in the investigative bureau who can die in his place,

we could save Merchant Cheon.

However, there isn't anyone in this world who wouldn't waver when facing death.

As soon as the rope is hung around one's neck, "I'm not Cheon Bong Sam,"

"I'm a different person."

This is how one would waver.

If that happens, Cheon Bong Sam is a given, but all of us will die as well.

I can, I can do it!

Even if something worse than rope were hung around my neck,

if it means dying in Bong Sam's place, I can do it.

Look at this, look at this.

With this body, how much longer will I live?

How much longer will I live? Please!

Please, let me go in Bong Sam's place.

I beg of you please! I'll go in his place. I can do it!

I can do it!

Thirty third...

now the bell isn't ringing.

Why is does the damned bell sound so particularly pitiful and melancholic today?

Aren't you going to get any sleep?

Now I can't see my Yu Su grow up.

I can't see him become an adult and get married.

When my son is having a hard time,

I won't be able to be a source of strength for him.

Who said a man isn't allowed to cry?

It's alright to cry, Bong Sam.

Choi Dol Hyung, when my father left me behind,

he was probably feeling this way.

Now, I know.

Merchant Elder.

Merchant Elder.

Yu Su, you came. Aigoo, you rascal.

Yu Su, you have to grow up healthy and well, okay?

When you grow up, just like your grandfather, my father, become a good merchant.

Aigoo, my Yu Su...

That's enough.

Go and take Yu Su away.

I left a change of clothes for you with the chief prison guard.

Alright, go on ahead.

Yu Su

Yu Su

Drag him out!- Yes, sir.

Choi Dol come out! You have been declared innocent, so you are released.

- Hurry and come out!- One moment! One moment!

I have to say my final farewell to Teacher Bong, so please wait.

What more do you have left to say a final farewell to me?

This life was really fun because of you.

Since we first met at Dongmong company,

I really liked Bong Sam the child.

You were like my younger brother and also like a friend.

Since I met Choi Dol at Dongmong-company,

I came to look and live like this.

After meeting you, for a lifetime I had a really good time and

had a lot of fun!
