The Slave Hunters

Enjoy:)

Episode 2

I found her. She's there.

Eonnyeon, that slave!

Are you telling the truth?

Where did you see her?

When?

Ahh... Let me go first.

I've just heard it from the wife of that merchant, Ji.

She said that three days ago, when he passed from the riverbank...

You know, where they dry all the cloth...

Eonni... Eonni!

Eonni!

What's with those miserable ninnies, again?

So pretty! She's a paragon of beauty!

But I hear she's quite older than she looks?!

Ehh... It's her second time. Like age would matter.

But... Shouldn't we follow him?

Like it would be the first false alarm.

If ten years have passed,

she must already be someone else's wife.

Ahh... I'm sure she said it was Eonnyeon?!

But... really... That's quite the attire.

The groom is no laughing matter, either!

But has it been long since he was widowed?

His first wife died over three years past,

so he's waited enough, all right.

Can a man his age squander all that fervor in solitude?

Has he finally come, my dear Daegil Seobangnim?!

Here he is!

Our formidable Daegil.

You fool...

I told you that prancing about like a dimwit might get you into trouble,

didn't I?

Why don't you ever listen to me?

Ahh... You disappoint me.

- Aigoo... - Ji saw her?

I told you... He was sure he saw Eonnyeon there.

If it's Ji... Didn't he leave for Anseong a few days ago?

But that's opposite the riverbank?

Your jests...

crossed the line.

Eonni, you know?

You will pay with your blood.

Ten years in this trade,

and only your tongue got sharper.

So the stout ginseng root can crush a bundle of wet pansies?

Daegil...

It's me...

I said it's me.

Daegil!

It's Eonni!

Eonni!

Eonni!

Are you out of your mind? Want to be accused of murder?

Daegil, calm down!

Move.

Get a hold of yourself!

Move out!

Why are you going at each other?

Ahh... Give it a rest!

Ahh... Really, stop! You'll get hurt!

I'm leaving. If you don't stop, I'll just go!

Are you feeling relieved, now?

If this is what it has come to,

let's just split the money and part ways, uh?

Can I really trust you without reserve, after being subjected to this?

Wangson.

Go fetch me some water.

Ahh... Told you we need a wench to tag along for those things.

Always sending me...

You're surrounded by water.

It is time you let Eonnyeon go.

Just as blind to your pleas of meeting her as she is,

she won't remember you ever parted ways,

and that is why they call it providence.

It is not something you can control.

Why...

Want to start acting like the eldest, now?

As if you could fight like a man...

Uh?!

Uh?

You've been cold all day, haven't you?

That's why your hands are always in that state.

You know?

You know...

I hate it all.

I hate you feeling cold,

I hate you feeling hurt,

and having it hard in any way.

Are you...

doing this out of pity?

What I wish for...

is not your compassion.

Have you had dinner?

*archaic form of Oppa

Yes, Orabeoni*.

These are belated nuptials,

a late repast which knows no easy digestion,

so go, and learn to endure it along the way.

Serve your spouse with utmost devotion,

bless him with plenty of children,

and be happy.

Yes...

Is it all in the past now?

I have arranged for your conjugal partner, so bear it in mind.

But... I still have no intention of engaging in marriage.

And why is that?

By any chance, is there anyone you are attracted to?

There is...

no such person.

Right, and so it should be.

I will arrange your nuptials in due time.

You know?

I will spend my whole life.

Together with you.

Forget him.

Memories can only becloud your soul with sadness.

Are you...

telling me to erase those memories as well?

You still don't understand?

You glanced at someone you should have never looked at!

Because of me, you committed murder.

I could have spilled a lot more blood!

If it was for your sake.

The Young Master died.

And that is the very reason you and I survive!

The reason you...

and I...

can now live like people.

Look.

Remember the day they excised slavery away from our burning flesh?

On that day, I cried tears of joy, and not of pain.

For you and I were born anew.

This time, finally, as real people.

*noble literati

It might be your second marriage, but this time it is with a yangban*.

No more grief will afflict you.

The new groom has arrived!

The new groom has arrived!

May you live in happiness.

It is my very last wish,

so can you promise you will?

Promise me first, Orabeoni.

I will do well.

No matter what, I will live in happiness.

So...

you needn't worry about me from here on in.

Good.

Promise me...

that you will not worry about me.

You have my word.

It is so late... Are you not sleeping?

Daegil still isn't back, so...

Someone as remarkable as you associating with such a scoundrel...

I still cannot fathom why.

You should settle down yourself before it's too late, General Choi.

Isn't thinking it might be too late,

what makes it truly too late?

Ahh... What gleaming moonlight...

What happened to your clan is most regrettable,

but is it not all in the past now?

Someone said so.

That first loves are the greatest of romances,

*baram also means impetus or desire to do something

and that the nightly breeze is the most soothing of winds*.

Jumo...

I can see what's under the skirt from here?!

Aigoo! Aigoo...

Wow... Our Jumo sure knows how to please her patrons.

We even get to bask in pleasant sights.

You... You depraved, miserable creep!

He can't even distinguish compassion!

So... Good night.

You... really!

Too much compassion and you'll be in-laws with the whole neighborhood.

Uh?!

Been drinking, haven't you?

And Wangson?

Don't know if he was worried about you or anything,

but he just went out for a stroll after waiting.

A stroll where?

Are you not going to visit me again?

I wish you...

happiness.

I could abandon everything and come with you.

What cruel destiny!

We share...

*how women protected themselves to avoid being violated

I now give you my silver knife*...

But, even in the netherworld, I shan't forget my calling.

Let us fulfill the love this cruel destiny stole from us in this life...

together in the netherworld.

Even in death...

I shall never forget you.

Milady...

Seobangnim!!

Ahh... Conf...Confucius said...

If he keeps up with his philandering ways...
