Rebel: Thief Who Stole the People

Honey...

I'm here.

Should I... just live here with you?

- Father! - Father!

- Father! - Father!

Gil Hyun's Father.

Please wake up.

Gil Dong's Father.

If you sleep here, you'll freeze to death.

It must be cold for you.

Aren't you cold here alone?

The children are looking for you.

You should go now.

I don't want to.

I will stay here with you.

Later... let's be together for a long time.

Gil Hyun! Gil Dong!

Your father is here!

- Father! - Father!

- Father! - Father!

- Father! - Father!

Father!

- Father! - Father!

Father...

All right...

I should go.

You know, that Lord Jo's wife.

She must've been scared of something. She packed up everything

and ran away to her family.

She must've understood what I said.

What did you say to her?

Not much.

I just said that we should live with a kind heart.

"With a kind heart"...

These are the slave papers of your family and Eop San's family.

I will take care of the rest of your family registry.

Just a piece of paper...

Will you leave this town now?

Yes, I should leave.

Getting involved with you has brought me so many headaches.

I feel relieved now!

Nice.

What are you doing? Come on...

You were the only one in my entire life who has ever endeavored to hear me out.

I keep my promises.

I haven't forgotten my promise to you.

- Would you buy me? - He's crazy!

I heard you're the third generation in your family to be the administrator.

How long will you be the town's administrator?

Shouldn't you rise to the head of the town?

How dare you speak so carelessly as a servant!

Not all servants are the same.

I have the means to put you in the magistrate's seat.

I will put you in the highest seat in this town.

Hey!

You're here!

Hurry! This way.

What are you looking at?

That must be Mom. She's following us.

Let's go.

This is Ikhwari!

What do you think? Doesn't it look like a great place to live?

It is cold here.

People ran away when they were forced to move from the southern three provinces.

Servants who ran away from their masters.

Fake monks, and any lowly people...

All kinds of people live here together.

In other words, the ones who were pushed to the end of their lives are here.

So what would they be afraid of?

Even the magistrate's office avoids dealing with people from Ikhwari.

That's why many of the former magistrates

ran away before their term was over.

Wow!

Wow, Choon Sim! It's been a while.

You've become really beautiful.

Hello, Choon Sim!

Yuck!

Wow!

A noble man doesn't do that at the table.

To blow on the hot food and make noise when you eat...

Only the lowly ones who didn't learn properly do that.

A noble man doesn't go back to eating the meal after drinking water.

What am I supposed to do then?

You wouldn't know, since you've never seen a noble man like me.

How nice.

What's this nonsense?

Here, take your pick!

Wow, I'm having good luck and good money today...

- Here you go. - Make your bet!

How can you doze off during our sacred game?

Why are you getting upset?

Wow, what's with this luck today?

You scared me.

Buddha is watching.

- It should be Jang Cheon! - Ggeut Soi is right!

- It should be Geummalje! - Don't fight.

Jang Cheon or Geummalje, I have no idea what they're talking about.

- Don't butt in. - Am I some barley sack who can't speak?

Please! No need to talk further. It'll be Jang Cheon.

Well... should we have a drink?

Should we?

Why do you want to drink every day?

Let me see...

If we do take the goods from Geummalje, where would we run to?

Yong Gae, isn't it surrounded by mountains all around?

That's why it's great!

We can hide in the mountains for 10, 15 days as if we're dead.

Do you want to freeze to death in this cold weather?

Right, right. I can't stand the cold weather.

- The barley sack should be quiet! - Hey, mind your manners!

Who are you telling to be quiet?

Why don't we stop with petty theft now?

How about doing some trades ourselves?

What do you mean?

Let's not steal food like mice.

Why don't we try selling some goods to the envoys from Ming?

Are you suggesting that we go across the border?

That makes no sense. Trade is not for everyone.

We should stick to what we know.

Make a living by doing what we know?

I heard your father was also a thief.

Why do you bring it up?

After your father got caught and died

you donated everything he left behind to a monk?

You should say "Venerable", not "monk".

What did the monk say?

Since your father stuck to what he knew all his life

he would rest in peace? Is that what the monk said?

I'll kill you!

What are you doing?

Why me? I didn't do anything!

How long can we get by with petty theft?

Do you think I like it? It's dangerous.

We don't need to cross the border.

There is a small island about two hours away by boat.

We can meet up with the dealers from Ming there.

More than anything, it's different from theft.

It's proper business.

For the rich, they can never have enough silk.

Textile? You mean, silk?

But the law limits who can use silk.

That's why the price you decide becomes the selling price.

Just wait and see about silk.

People would buy silk from Ming regardless of how expensive it is.

Then what would we sell?

That's black hemp fabric.

Yes, black hemp fabric.

The king of Ming goes crazy over black hemp fabric from Joseon.

What happens when the king goes crazy over it?

The ones below him love it, too.

That's right.

I'll pay for the supplies to make black hemp fabric.

Tell the women to stop trying to catch the animals.

They should instead hold the loom.

"Ji" for knowledge.

You don't understand anything, do you?

I don't either!

- Stop! - No, no! This won't do!

Not even close with this money!

Give me that.

Eat up. Let's go!

Yes, you're good! Yes! Yes!

Father!

Father! Father!

You're finally walking!

Father!

Father! Father!

Your father is busy. Go away.

Father...

Eo Ri Ni started walking.

Did you load everything?

- Let's go. - Start!

Stop stuffing yourself!

Hey, hey, hey!

Everyone, do your job.

- Are you catching shrimp? - Yes, yes.

Then why are you heading this way?

We have a special spot that we have in mind, so that's where we're headed.

Anyway, you're working so hard on this cold night...

but we don't have much to give you.

Bring some dried shrimp.

- Yong Gae? - Oh, yes.

Here you go.

Dried shrimp, here we go.

Here you go.

On a cold night like this, warm rice wine and dried shrimp are the best.

Don't go too far. It's cold.

Yes, sir.

You're sitting like you pooped yourself.

I almost did.

Wow, my pants feel wet.

Let's keep going.

- Don't do anything strange. - I got it.

Hey, what's that?

They're here.

They recognize us.

This is high quality.

Joseon is the only place that can make this detailed fabric.

That's why the black hemp fabric from Joseon is the best.

Would they like ours as well?
