Gu Family Book (구가의 서)

Episode 17

As I thought...

She's the most important person to you, right?

That will never change, right?

I'm talking about Lady Chung Jo.

Why couldn't I answer her then?

Just because...

I want to do whatever I can for you.

That's what I desire.

Why couldn't I tell you then?

To be honest...

To be honest, Yeo Wool...

The lady has disappeared again.

I've looked everywhere, and she can't be found.

Dam Yeo Wool!

Yeo Wool!

Give up on becoming human.

Otherwise, I'll destroy everything related to you.

Wol Ryung.

What did you say? Wol Ryung?

The monk said he is my father.

He became a Thousand Year demon, and returned.

Then, he's the one that attacked Master Gong Dal?

That's right.

He's the one.

Then, why didn't you tell me earlier?

He's his father, after all. He wanted to protect him.

I will bring Yeo Wool back safely no matter what.

If I can't bring her back, I won't come back, either.

- Kang Chi. - I'll be back.

Brother Yoon, you take four men, and go to Gu Ma Bong.

Okay.

And Brother Jung, you take the rest, and go towards Neung Gok Hill.

Okay.

Kang Chi!

Where do you think you are going like that?

Don't get involved. I'll find Yeo Wool.

And if you lose your mind again?

I'm determined not to come back if I don't find her.

Are you the daughter of Dam Pyung Joon from Moon Hyung Do Gwan?

Who are you?

Why are you doing this?

Blame it on your father.

All of this is because of your father's doing.

Sung, throw some salt!

If anyone slays him without a just cause, I, Dam Pyung Joon, will never forgive that man.

Deputy Seo. Deputy Seo!

I can no longer bear the sight of that guy, Dam Pyung Joon!

Go, and get rid of something most precious to Dam Pyung Joon!

And teach him a lesson that he can't treat me that way.

Cut off her neck, and leave her head in the courtyard of Moo Hyung Do Gwan.

Leave her body in the forest for the animals to eat.

Yes, sir!

Who's there?

As I thought... It was you.

Why...

Why is he...

No.

He's not someone you can handle.

Let's go.

Go away.

Are you running away from me?

Go away!

You can never get away from me.

Not unless I let you.

Kang Chi!

Get away from Yeo Wool.

There's one way to save this woman.

Give up on becoming human.

Didn't I tell you who I am?

I am...

Choi Kang Chi's father.

Get away from Yeo Wool!

Make your decision, first.

No, Kang Chi.

Don't give up.

Be quiet.

Don't bother Kang Chi, anymore.

Even if you don't do this, Kang Chi...

He's had a hard enough life.

So, please stop.

If you really are Kang Chi's father, don't hurt Kang Chi, anymore.

Do you understand?

- Be quiet! - Yeo Wool!

Yeo Wool, are you okay?

Kang Chi!

No!

You can never beat me.

Give up.

No!

Don't get close to Yeo Wool.

Get away from Yeo Wool!

Yeo Wool is mine!

Don't touch my woman.

Don't touch my woman.

You're supposed to be my father...

Don't touch her. She's mine.

Don't hurt my woman!

Wol Ryung!

- Wol Ryung! - Seo Hwa!

Wol Ryung!

Yeo Wool.

Are you okay?

What about you?

I thought...

I would lose you.

That...

was so scary.

Kang Chi.

To be honest, Yeo Wool...

you're the most precious person to me.

Without you...

I have no meaning.

Kang Chi.

Wol Ryung, is that you?

Are you hurt?

But, why is your wound not healing?

I have no power to heal myself anymore.

Anger and hatred...

destruction and death...

and... loss is all I have.

When was that?

I once said that, too.

Don't touch my woman.

Don't touch my woman.

Why I said that...

and even who I said that about... I can't remember.

Wol Ryung...

If the little memories I have left are gone...

I will really become a demon, then.

I wanted to die before then.

Since that kid is the only one who can kill me.

Are you talking about Kang Chi?

I want to die, and go to where Seo Hwa is...

So...

why did you ask to see me so early in the morning?

Actually, I have something I want to buy from you.

You have something you want to buy from me?

What can that be?

Are you...

saying you want to buy...

Yes, that's him.

I heard he's the son of Park Moo Sol, and he knows the inn business well.

I will pay you a good price, and set him free.

I want to put him in charge of the inn again.

Set him free?

Put him in charge?

Is that what you just said?

Since coming here, I've been carefully overseeing the way the inn is managed.

I was appalled at what I saw.

If left like this, the inn will soon go out of business.

Look here, Head Merchant. You must be mistaken.

I'm the owner of this inn. Whether I run out of business, or not...

Whether I change the person in charge or not... That's all up to me.

- You must be the one that's mistaken. - What?

Who's the one who funded you the money to buy this inn?

Wasn't it us?

The funds to purchase the commercial ships from Lee Gap Soo of Nam Hae.

The funds to buy business rights from Choi Joong Mok of Jin Joo.

And the funds to get the estate from Nam Kil Man of Choon Chun.

That was all from us.

- Did you forget? - That wasn't for my personal use.

All of that was to conquer business rights here, and secure enough food...

I'll pay you a good price.

Hand me over the right to own Servant Park.

If I say no, what will you do?

You shouldn't reject my offer.

Is that a threat?

Let's call it an urging.

We should end the meeting now.

Back off.

Stop.

It won't be good for you to treat me this way.

That's what I want to say to you.

Where's Deputy Seo? He's still not back?

No, he's not back yet.

What's he doing away for so long?

Who's responsible for doing that?

Did you get to see?

Blame it on your father. This is all because of his actions.

No, they were covering my eyes, so I couldn't see.

And they were all wearing masks.

You're sure it wasn't Gu Wol Ryung's doing?

No, it wasn't.

Then, who dared to come in and do that?

Do you think Jo Gwan Woong's men are responsible?

Please get rid of the ban you put on me. If I had a sword with me...

I wouldn't have let them do that to me.

No, I'm against that. I think you should put metal chains around her ankles.

Metal chains? Don't you think that's too much?

It's because you don't listen.

How can a woman be so fearless as to go out at night time?

If you were a man, I would have already given you a beating.

What? Because I'm being lenient and easy going, you think you can say whatever?

Who's being lenient and easy going?

Stop over-reacting.

You're so petty.

I'm not over-reacting. This hand is a weapon.

- Choi Kang Chi! - Both of you, stop.

I'm sorry, Father. I can't stand to be with him.
