Warrior Baek Dong Soo (Musa Baek Dong Soo / 무사 백동수)

Yeo Un, you are here.

Sky Lord, you have never once taught me lessons.

You stopped any insubordination and ordered only to become an assassin.

Anyhow, isn't this the path you chose?

Yes, this is the path I chose.

So,

from now on, I will do it my way.

Whether it's the heart, or life...

I want to have it all.

To be Heuksa's new Sky Lord,

I need to take the current Sky Lord's life.

Yes, it's about time.

Then you are willing to come with me?

I will not hide, and will also not hide anything.

An assassin and a martial artist...

what are the differences between them?

If there is blood I can take,

I will surely do it.

That's really a good expression.

The look in your eyes now belongs to that of an assassin,

who controls the life and death of other people.

This is the true expression an assassin should have.

The only thing left for me is the path of an assassin.

That is it, surely...

Haven't you caught the heavens in your hands?

Un... Don't follow the path of my fate.

I won't follow it.

I am no longer an assassin.

I will give up the path of an assassin.

I will give up all of that, Dong Su.

Hey, what are you all doing?

Child...

Please go back.

Cheon, for the mistake of deciding to kill me,

you cannot escape from the Reaper.

Don't come closer.

No, don't come closer.

Don't come any closer.

Ajussi.

I'm really sorry to you.

Go... go back.

Ch... Child.

Don't let tears wet your beautiful face any more.

It's all right. I am all right.

Farewell, Cheon.

Ajussi... Ajussi.

Joseon's best swordsman,

Baek Dong Su, who is it?

Here.

You should just retreat a step.

Retreat one step.

Why are you telling me to retreat? Retreat what?

- You should retreat if I tell you to retreat. Why are you talking so much? - You fellows, am I not asking you who Baek Dong Su is?

All that screaming... It is really annoying.

Jin Ju, you just go deal with them!

Didn't I let you retreat a step?

Give me a break. I am also busy here.

Then, are you looking for a real swordfight?

Are you Baek Dong Su?

Really... 20 Yangs.

Tw... Twe... Twenty Yang?

So the word hasn't reached you?

Over there... There.

Do you see that box?

Fistfight, 5 Yang.

Wooden sword, 10 Yang.

Real sword is 20 Yang.

Let us lock hands!

Aigoo.

Then...

When you feel all right, please come again.

Young man, what is your name?

I am called Baek Dong Su.

Baek... Baek Dong Su.

Look here! This is sir Baek Dong Su!

Sky Lord.

Welcome here.

Please pay your respects.

Heuksa Chorong's Sky Lord

moves like a shadow

and kills, as I know, but...

You really are young.

The previous Sky Lord was already defeated by me.

Are you saying he lost to you?

Now, do you feel willing to go along with me?

Are you fellow the Sword Saint disciple?

You are right so far.

Then, let me see a bit of your skills.

Double-edged sword.

The length is 6 feet and 5 inches and the weight is 3 geun.

Too heavy to hold, isn't it?

You fellow...

Shall we continue?

Ajumma.

Please bring me another bowl of rice soup.

Yes.

Double edged sword?

Isn't that Yeongsuk?

Hey, what are you doing here?

I'm have been on a trip to see this beautiful country and paint,

but here... in Naju, who do you think I would end up meeting by chance?

Dong Su.

Hey, Yang Cho Rip!

That it's a chance meeting was a lie, I take it.

If I may say what I see...

certainly there is some problem in the palace.

Right?

Half a month ago,

because of one famous shaman's words,

the whole of Hanyang turned upside down.

What does it show?

Prince Heir has to die.

Only with the Prince Heir dead, can the country be prosperous.

Even with a sword on your neck, you should speak without changing your mind.

On top of the shaman's words quickly spreading everywhere,

bad omens have continued to happen in the palace too.

A voodoo doll was discovered outside Prince Heir's Palace.

Was it done by the shaman?

Yes.

The doll was made by that shaman.

But we still haven't found out who brought it in the palace.

But the real problem is that,

that shaman, even till death, kept on saying the same thing.

Only with the Prince Heir dead, can the country be prosperous.

Only with the Prince Heir dead, will this land of Joseon prosper!

Although we don't know the whole story,

aren't things fine by now?

That... It won't be that easy, it seems.

Your Majesty.

Your Majesty, isn't it a red meteor?

. Mmm...

It's already a troublesome time due to that fortune teller's words.

Why is there an ominous meteor also falling by the palace?

From that day onwards,

His Majesty has been suffering from colds

and he still remains in bed.

But what is there that I can do?

I don't have the ability to catch a meteor.

Dong Su, during the time since you left to wander,

a gambling house started in the city.

A gambling house?

Male or female, young or old,

if you can fight, you can join.

The average wager is even more than a 1000 yang.

Moreover, though there is no evidence,

His excellency Hong Dae Ju,

has invested in this gambling house, as per rumors.

Dong Su.

We have got the horses ready.

Take a look.

The past hundred years are kept here in original form and never moved.

These swords form the living history of Heuksa Chorong.

Heuksa Chorong to be disbanded?

Is it really true?

You can go along with me.

But I won't force you.

This won't be easy, is what I am saying.

Isn't this the Heuksa Chorong with a 100 years of history?

Even if there's an imperial order for the disbandment of Heuksa Chorong,

the nobles and merchants who have contact with Heuksa Chorong,

are too many. Our roots are deep.

I know.

If it is not uprooted,

when I am not there,

others will only build it up again.

Therefore,

even the roots need to be removed.

Even if you put your life on the line, there is no guarantee you can do it.

Will you help me?

Sure enough,

eating well makes me feel really strong.

I've inserted a needle into an acupuncture meridian.

Though your abilities to fight are all gone,

after a while,

you will not have problems in still living a normal life.

The Sky Lord has left.

The Sword Saint has also left.

Now the only one left is Baek Dong Su.

Sparkle, sparkle... Shining!

Your Majesty, that one shaman was speaking nonsense.

Please don't worry too much.

You don't need to worry.

Only with the Prince Heir dead can the country be prosperous?

It is so hard for me to even say something like that.

Are you all right, Your Majesty?

Prince Heir, His Majesty is unwell and wishes to rest for a while.

It is better that you go back today.

Yes.

The royal heart is clearly wavering.

Defense Minister,

the plan can't have any errors.

There was the shaman's prophecy, and I made the meteor fall too.

We should proceed with the next step.

Seventy percent?

Even if we split it evenly, we would still lose heavily.

If we give you 70 percent, are you telling us to starve to death?

The geumnanjeongwon all of you have would be permanent, you thought?

If not for the Defense Minister, what could be immediately abolished...

That geumnanjeongwon.

Listen carefully.
