Tale of the Nine Tailed 1938 (Gumihodyeon 1938 / 구미호뎐1938)

TALE OF THE NINE TAILED 1938

-One of them shows up at last. -What are you?

Enemies passed water in fear when hearing my name on the battlefield.

Don't be surprised.

Shinigami Mercenaries. My name is Ushiuchibo.

DEMON FROM JAPANESE FABLES

WHO HUNTS ANIMALS WITH DEADLY POISON

What's that?

Just some pricks hunting Joseon demons.

-Doesn't seem like much in person. -Whatever you are, go sit over there.

The Joseon mountain gods are mingling now.

Why is his head shaped like that?

You shits dare look down on me?

You all breathed in a fog full of deadly poison.

You have a death wish?

You're the ones who will be dying!

Only I can neutralize my poison.

I heard there was a poison bender, so I guess that's you, huh?

-You poisoned the Gyeongseong wells too. -I see you've heard of my reputation.

Hand over the treasures. Then, I'll spare their lives.

Don't be ridiculous.

Wh--

You have an hour at most.

Your body will be bled white, and you will die in pain.

-Not to a wuss like him! -Well?

-Will you give it up to save them? Or-- -Take it.

No, Yeon! You can't give him the treasures!

What choice is there?

To catch the hare, you enter its burrow.

-A hare? -Here you go.

Just like that?

The antidote.

Give it.

Now that I think about it, the easiest way to get an antidote…

Is to use violence.

For ages, we've called this, "hare and hounds."

Oh, gosh. Sumimasen .

We all have trust issues, you know.

-Shall we begin? -Yes.

-Geez. You packed all that? -Shall I slice him, shred him or peel him?

-Let's just chop him up. -No. Then he'll die too soon.

I don't like his face, so let's touch up his chin and nose.

That should fix him up.

You crazy bastards!

-Go with that one. -Sure!

Now I'll break your bones one at a time, until we get the antidote.

Where did Ushiuchibo go?

EPISODE 10

I hear a sound.

It's Ushiuchibo.

There's someone next to him.

That punk wants to take the treasures for himself!

That selfish prick.

I'll go take a look.

Yuki, wait for me!

Shall we take turns?

I haven't even started yet.

Hey.

-I'm the strongest mountain god. -True, true.

It's harder not to hit you at full force.

For a mountain god who lost her country…

That sure is a lot of talk.

Starting now, I'll hit you thrice.

Provide the antidote by then or I crack your head.

Squirm all you want.

Because you will all die here today.

Is that a laugh?

Hong-joo.

Move away!

I couldn't move my body.

This is his specialty.

Get out of my way.

-Strike one. -Wait!

Strike two.

Boss!

Strike three.

He's dead. You shouldn't have killed him.

He kept pissing me off.

Now there's three of them left.

You knew from the start, didn't you? That he spits poison when cornered.

Yeah.

Why didn't you tell us?

You two weren't interested in anything but my treasure in the first place.

Gosh, you evil bastard.

We must get out of here now.

-The mercenaries will come at his call. -We'll kill them all.

Not in our state.

Let's get out, and find a way to neutralize the poison. Come on.

Wait for me!

I'm the only one unscathed anyway.

Please save me. Save me! It's here!

Lord Lee Rang!

Over here, you bastards! Boss!

Be careful! They can withstand blade slashes!

Hey, get Mrs. Boss to the room first!

Hurry and go upstairs! Leave this to me!

Come here! Die! Die!

-Hurry! We have to go too! -Die, you all!

Geez! Why you--

Quick!

I'm scared. Gosh, I'm scared!

Whatever happens here tonight, stay out of it.

Don't come, you shit!

-Jae-yoo! -Our roommate's the best!

Please help me!

-What do we do? -What do you mean "what"?

Please open the door!

He'll die out there!

Hey! Have you lost your mind?

Is anyone there?

-Don't ever come out of my room. -And you?

I'll get the others.

Let me come with you.

I'll be back soon.

No!

Yeo-hee!

This is unbelievable!

Ushiuchibo is dead?

Joseon's mountain gods are this strong?

Gosh. The more I know, the more fascinating he is.

Don't be ridiculous! Ushiuchibo is the weakest of us all!

I wonder where that lovely nine-tailed fox went.

Was it west?

Yuki, you can't act alone!

-I'll just go look around! -Yuki!

Damn. Where the hell are they?

Hong-joo, hang in there. Okay?

Is it just me, or did we pass here earlier?

What the hell is this forest?

It's from the picture in Room 404.

One of them can use an illusion charm.

They have someone with such notable skills?

I guess he must be the boss.

-What's wrong with him? -It's the poison.

My sight has been getting blurry for some time too.

Hey, you okay?

Get your hands off me.

Oh, you prefer my feet then? Hey, you okay?

Hey, Moo-yeong! Hey!

Yeon.

This poison is much more lethal than I thought.

No, no. You can't collapse here, okay?

Hold on.

I don't like this at all.

You're a mercenary, huh?

-Is she your lover? -She's my friend. Why?

She's not your girlfriend then? What a relief.

I'm Yuki.

One moment.

What's that?

-Do you like snowmen? -What?

Because Yuki gifts snowmen to her lovers.

Oh, whoa!

This represents my love.

-Hey, hey! -Sheesh!

Why you little brat. This one's mine!

You crazy bitch! Yuki will have him!

-Wanna fight? -Winner gets to have him.

Hey, don't discuss my ownership with each other.

-Stay out of it! -Stay out of it!

-Stop it. Enough. -So unfair.

You're the one being unfair. This one drank a bunch of poison.

Yuki!

-Yuki! -It's Oogama.

-I have to go. -Why is that?

This would be your chance to take the treasures, no?

You're right. But boss hates when I move on my own.

I see.

So where is that boss of yours?

You'll see him soon.

Yeon! You have to catch her!

Ice.

Oh, shit!

Damn it.

Geez, you almost got me!

-You know about me? -Yeah.

I heard the rumor, all right. The ice cream-like demon mercenary.

My real name is Yuki-onna.

SNOW LADY, SNOW SPIRIT FROM JAPANESE FABLES

Yuki-onna, want to strike a deal with me?

A deal?

You…

-You came looking for these treasures, no? -That's…

-Will you give them to Yuki? -Be patient.

I'll give you one treasure. If you'll exchange it for the antidote.

-Stop! If something happens to you-- -I don't care.

That's enough.

I'm dying, right?

You won't die.

What if I turn into one those monsters and I don't even recognize you, Rang?

I won't let you.

I have a question.

Why did you save me back then?

You know, the first time you came to the club.

That day…

I was feeling so miserable.

I thought about just dying.

But then I saw you on stage.

You were singing a song no one was hearing…

with such a happy face.
