Episode 6

You are squandering your time.

Just to learn a few moves from Munno,

hundreds of people lodge here every year,

but how are you going to meet someone who has long disappeared?!

Mother...

Lord Munno is not the kind of specimen anyone can seek audience with.

But, Master!

I crossed mountains and rivers to find this place,

only out of my ardent wish to become a pupil of his,

I traveled over 10,000 ri!

I said he is not a man anyone can meet,

did I not?!

Listen...

Master.

You know who Munno is?

Can you make us meet?!

Ohh Ohhh!

How dare you utter the Gukseon's name with such venturous abandon?!

~ Jukbang ~

My apologies.

But, may you help me.

To meet that man I traveled...

no less than 20,000 ri!

I come from Sui territory,

the faraway western deserts.

I am counting on you, Master!

See?!

Because of you...

Look!

At what direful quandaries you have subjected me to!

This won't do.

I shall hereby depart.

Master!

Master!

Goddess of Mercy... Goddess of Mercy...

~ Godo ~

He completed his fasting penance this morn.

He could not even enjoy a proper repast, ardently wrung by his calling.

Goddess of Mercy!

Ahh... Yes.

Fine.

Wait a moment.

I am counting on you.

I might have accepted these sumptuous victuals,

but the Gukseon's abode is not a place...

Master!

I beg you...

May you help me out.

So you must alert him on your mother's demise?!

Yes.

I shall not bother him with anything else.

However...

How can I only allow you to go?!

- This boy as well... - Now that I think about it!

This fellow's quandaries seem of utmost urgency.

No less than 20,000 ri! Not just 10,000 like me.

I shall just give up. Yes. So long...

My gratitude!

Master.

Ohh... All right. Start by fetching some water.

Yes. I will!

You knaves...

What do you think you're doing?!

- Shut your gob! - He is the one, I'm sure!

Ohhh Ohh... Get your slovenly hands off of me!

- You knave! - Master!

Listen.

And you are?!

How dare you treat him like this?! Uh?!

Master.

- What is the matter? - Never you mind,

and leave at once!

Say what?!

Is he the one?

It's him indeed.

So this is the miscreant who appropriated...

the pendant my father bestowed upon me?!

- Yes, Milord. - Goddess of Mercy...

We are sure of it.

I saw him do it again at the silk shop.

~ Kim Yushin ~

Here!

Go ahead and search.

Should it help quell your misguided suspicions,

I clamor you to proceed.

- Search him. - Yes.

Gongsurae Gongsugeo.

As empty-handed you approach birth and demise,

this humble disciple has never possessed a single thing.

No! Possession!

Goddess of Mercy...

Goddess of Mercy...

Let's go.

- Goddess of Mercy. - Wait!

Listen, "Milord."

How can you just leave without an apology?!

Is that not right?!

If you fomented misguided suspicion,

then you must apologize for your misdeeds.

My fellow Hwarang...

never engage in mendacity.

- Yes?! Say what?! - And what's more...

There is no way their suspicions would be misguided.

Then, are you still believing...

that the Master is a thieving scoundrel?!

Goddess of Mercy! Goddess of Mercy...

Listen!

You insolent...

Do you?!

I do indeed think so.

But, as there is no evidence on our hands, we can only leave.

Are your fellow Hwarang such illustrious specimen?!

Enough that they can foment suspicion about anyone?!

I never accepted any mendacious varmint in our ranks,

and Hwarang who spent a thousand days of training with me...

could have never misjudged what happened.

Is that so?!

Looks like finding nothing even after searching...

is causing you abasement in front of your mighty Hwarang.

What?!

Such petty specimen might lead a throng of dastardly vandals,

but he shall never become an illustrious figure!

- You little knave! - Ohh Ohh!!

Was this what I imparted upon you?!

But, Master...

Can't you see the suffering they put you through?!

Life itself is a journey of suffering.

How many times did I tell you that...

in suffering we are born, and in penance we shall perish?!

Still, Master...

Pave the way.

Yes.

Ahh!

Goddess of Mercy.

Goddess of Mercy!

To all of you...

Goddess of Mercy.

All. Goddess of Mercy...

Master, wait a moment.

I shall not let them get away with this!

Why are you behaving in such a hollow manner?!

How can I introduce someone like you to the Gukseon?!

May you forgive me!

I could not bear to see them...

mistreat you that way.

This is all I have.

I am counting on you!

I see you...

and that squirrelly moppet are no different.

Did you see me as a blackguard who would bestow my good will only before a hefty remuneration?!

I... I... would never...

I didn't mean that...

You believe only material goods can move a man's heart...

How lamentable indeed... Lamentable.

Goddess of Mercy!

Goddess of Mercy...

It's not that...

It is deplorable.

I was merely...

I had no other way to extend you my gratitude.

You pitiful little creature...

Goddess of Mercy.

All right!

Deplorable as it is,

let us use this to endow Buddha's divine spirit.

Yes!

*Female tavern owner

- Jumo*! - Yes.

Brush and ink, if you will.

Ahh... yes!

~ Master Jukbang ~

Take the big path right next to this place,

and it shall lead you to a ferry.

If you cross the river and enter the forest,

you shall reach a crossroad.

Follow the path marked in red.

Go, and look for a man named Seolji.

Seolji?!

If you convey this to that man,

he shall know what to do with you.

My gratitude!

I am really grateful!

Hyungnim!

The pendant?!

Pendant, my ass.

You run away all on your own?!

You told me not to look anyone in the face and run for my life.

There is always a time and place for that.

Ahh... still, the pendant?!

The pendant is still with that little moppet...

- Yet... - Uh?!

In the pendant's stead.

- What is this? - A golden one.

Gold?! Really? Uh?! For real?

Mobilizing the troops and the Hwarang to eliminate Munno?!

Are you planning to turn all the Hwarang against you?

Munno is in Manno County.
