Rebel: Thief Who Stole the People

What happens if I can't be patient?

Everyone dies.

The Child Warrior will die. His mother, father, and brother will die, too.

Father...

Father, you're on your way back with honey taffy, right?

Gil Dong!

Let's go now. We need to be in waiting while the Young Master is studying.

All right.

Brother, it's too heavy for me to lift this.

So why did you put so much?

We're late. I will make the ink.

Bring some water.

Yes!

"Jal" for sleeping.

"Jang" for giving.

Can you see that something's wrong?

Pardon, sir?

A school dog would know a few words after three years in school.

Tell me, what do you see that's wrong?

Now!

Keep writing.

I told you to serve the Young Master while he is studying!

How dare you finally crawl back after taking your time to play?

I pray to you, god of the Big Dipper, god of the Earth, god of the kitchen...

Please protect my husband on his way

and care for him on his return.

I pray you, I pray you...

I pray you, I pray you...

You know that we'll have a rock war

against the kids from the next town, right?

Yes!

We lost last time.

But if we lose again this time, you'll be in big trouble!

Got it!

Attack!

Go stronger!

He's making us practice for nothing.

Should I go for his head?

If we hit him in the temple, we could take him out.

- Should we try? - Yes!

No matter how upsetting things get, you should never use your strength.

Do you understand?

Gil Dong, you can't do it.

Eop San, you're good!

Are you out of your mind?

How dare you!

You should've taken care of Young Master Soo Hak!

I'm sorry, ma'am.

He's getting an earful.

He's fine. He's probably thinking about eating white rice right now.

Eating white rice?

My father told me that thinking about white rice helps when the dog barks.

I also think about white rice when I get scolded by Lord Jo.

When I think about white rice with fish, it doesn't hurt much when I get beaten.

Then should I think about eating white rice with grilled meat on top?

But you've never even tasted grilled meat.

Then it doesn't work. You have to try with something you've eaten before.

There is another man whose feet are as big as our father's.

I guess so.

Father.

Father!

Father!

- Have you been well? - Yes.

Father...

Did you have a good trip?

Father is back! Father is back!

Father is back!

Where did you meet with the children?

Is that the only thing you have to say to the husband you haven't seen in months?

Let me.

The boys are watching.

How did your feet get injured like this?

- My father is back! - Really!

My father is back!

My father is back, so my mom told me to buy fish!

Father.

My Gil Dong, you remember what I told you, right?

Of course.

All right... I'm so proud of you, my son.

This time, I got to make only two rolls of cotton.

The silk is high quality, isn't it?

You are quite skilled.

Please don't say that.

I had such a tough time away from your shadow, my lord.

How did you turn a profit?

You know that people of Ming go crazy over fur, right?

Of those, marten skin from Joseon is said to be much better.

- And? - Fur is rare in this area.

But it's everywhere in the north. Cotton is rather rare over there.

So I bought cotton with the money I earned from selling the dried pollack.

Then I scraped all the fur from the mountain people and sold it in Gaegyeong.

I worked some distance.

Then, can you sell the rest of the goods in our storage that way?

I could...

but fur is only for a season. I should change up the goods.

I became friends with a few who are skilled.

I think I can make good profit if I follow them around.

Should I keep following the merchants?

Sure, you should live outside and keep following the merchants.

Wow, thank you, my lord!

Even if you live away from here

you have to come right away when your master calls for you.

Of course I will!

Even if I'm in the outhouse, I will run right over when called by my master!

You are quite...

Go to Mal Deok's house, since it's empty.

Your wife should help with farming.

We can keep the earthen pots here.

The stove is nice and big!

Oh my! The flooring is rubbed with soybean oil!

Gil Hyun.

Father!

I told you I'd buy it for you.

You don't need to look over your shoulder anymore.

Read as much as you want.

Yes, Father!

This is for Gil Hyun. This is for Gil Dong.

White rice!

Yes, we will only eat white rice now.

Go ahead and eat.

Please.

What are you doing?

Lord Jo was pushing the proper custom even down to the servants

so I haven't been able to share the table with you.

Mom, it's so easy to swallow white rice without even chewing it.

I can't.

Why can't you?

I ran all the way home without a break thinking about your skin.

I can't.

I'm pregnant.

- That night. - The night before I left?

You should've saved your energy before your long journey.

You were bothering me all night...

You should see a doctor tomorrow.

Have I ever gone to a doctor after getting pregnant?

You should!

I'm going to do everything the noble class does now!

My goodness! You say things that will bring trouble!

"A baby is standing." The baby is very healthy.

Wow, it's a lucky baby! This baby will bring luck!

Where is the baby standing?

It doesn't mean that a baby is actually standing.

It means she's pregnant.

- What does it mean to be pregnant? - It's a thing that happens.

- How do you get pregnant? - I said, it's a thing that happens.

Ah Mo Gae!

Kid, is this Ah Mo Gae's house?

Goodness, you came!

You're still alive!

Didn't I tell you we would have a visitor today?

Yes, I have wine ready.

This is my wife.

Hello.

This is my business partner. We sell goods together.

There is no food, so I don't know what to do.

Please don't worry.

Kid, are you Gil Dong?

You should introduce yourself.

That kid...

- Is that him? - Yes.

- Let's go inside. - Sure.

Please give it to me. What else did you bring?

I didn't prepare much.

Please have a seat with us.

I couldn't.

Please enjoy.

Tell her... Yes, yes.

You refused courtesans in Pyeongyang, and couldn't wait to go home.

Now I know why.

Stop with the nonsense.

Continue with your talk.

All of Choyang town's rice fields are Lord Lee's.

But when people from the next town starved to death from a poor harvest

he didn't even offer a pot of porridge.

We should force him to give away the precious rice.

You won't just ask for it, will you?

I'm not in a position to be scared to ask.

Why? Is it because of your second son?

I need to buy my freedom.

If I can't buy freedom, he will die.

You said you made him understand, and put his temper in check.

How long will it last?

Just like water can't flow upwards, and fish can't live on the land

he can't live a full life as a servant.

Oh my. Where are you going without even eating breakfast?

- I'm busy with work. - I thought you'd stay for a few days...

Wait.

Make sure to change the cloth for your feet often.

I also put roasted rice.

Your stomach will hurt since you haven't had breakfast.

I'm so jealous, I can't watch anymore. Thank you for your hospitality.

I'm heading out first.

I'll get going.

Look at this... What do you see?

You didn't have to.

Here you go.

Cheers.

If you're jealous, tell your father to do trades.

Have you heard?

I heard the second son of the dethroned queen died in the palace.
