Gu Family Book Ep 19

Starts from flashback of SH from 20 yrs ago when she stepped closer and slashed GW’s face. a Japanese guard/soldier saw that. as GW’s guard slashed at her, she glared at GW and passed out. they took GW away to treat his wounds. the Japanese guard checked her pulse and knew she was alive. he covered her face and lied to SB that she is dead. SB ordered her body to be taken away. later on a night the men bribed the guards and he checked her pulse. she was still alive and moving. he gave orders to take her away
* the japanese guy in the flashback who saved her is different from the current one. if this one had some hair he might be considered handsome – like a younger asian version of gregory peck from roman holiday.
young SH saw her baby boy’s normal face and screamed my baby.
present day GW says how KC is not human – half he has human blood on his mom’s side and half monster’s blood. so he is half and half. the bracelet gets taken off. KC transforms as blue lights float around him and SH thinks back to when she saw her baby for the first time and said he isnt a monster. GW asks her is that monster the one you were looking for. she glares at GW as her son passes out.
SR says to report the truth. CJ’s maid cries and admits: cuz of the people from school CJ hid - WS said CJ could be dragged off to prison.  SR asks if WS gave you that kind of fear. the girl cries cuz she was told that WS would say the right thing if CJ was caught and CJ would have no problems as long as KC was brought over.

PJ reads the note

Gon informs YW that he heard a report that KC was set up in a trap and captured. that SR and TS are trying to find out what’s going on with KC’s condition for now.  but she grabs her sword getting ready to go . gon says after finding out what’s going on first then we can act. (on PJ’s orders) but she says if KC cant come back on his own strength, this means something went really wrong - he might be seriously hurt. gon says KC will quickly recover anyway –  he wont die. she says just cuz he cant die doesnt mean he doesnt feel pain. KC still feels pain when he is hurt – when he gets stabbed with a sword, he bleeds. when he gets hit he gets bruises and sores. even though he doesnt die he still feels every pain – like us. do you know that? so dont stop me – just cuz you do – I’m not a kid who wont go.  he stops her saying you cant so she says if you hold me back one more time then you will end up fighting with my sword. CJ says wait a minute before that i have something to say but YW says sorry I cant talk any longer today. but CJ says it’s about KC’s mom – I heard she might still be alive
SH stares at her son in pain as GW asks what should we do now. SH: about what? GW: that guy who isnt human -  I am asking what should we do with him. SH: all I want is the map we lost. GW: is that so. then it’s ok whatever I do to him- is that what you are saying. whether I trample him to death or strangle him to death  as long as you get your map back, you’re good with that. is that what you mean. she yells you sure do talk a lot. that kid who isnt human or whatever. whether you trample him to death or strangle him to death or some other torture - that is something for you to do- all I need is the map -do you get that so just bring the map. KC looks at her as she said that. she stops and looks at him then turns around and leaves
SH goes to her room and remembers how KC told her I am choi KC cuz I was abandoned at the river. she sinks to her knees and holds back her sobs.
GW puts a fan to KC’s throat and wonders how KC lived all this time hiding this side of him. KC asks what did you do to me. GW says I made you drink drugged alcohol. if you drink that your mind/senses get cloudy, your body is enervated, then you end up dying in pain. now tell me about the map you took. where is that map. does PJ have it or is it already in SS’s hands. KC gets up and growls at him. GW wonders did you really drink 5 glasses -how do you still have that kind of strength. since you are this monster, that’s probably why she threw her bloodline into the river as soon as you were born. even though you are a son she hasnt met in 20 yrs, that’s why she was so cold like that. KC asks what are you talking about. what are you saying right now. GW: yoon SH -your mother. KC: my mother -who are you taking about. GW: that is the wrong question. not who but if she really is – that’s what you should ask. I am curious if that woman is your real mother. KC tries to fight and coughs. GW says dont use your strength like that. to live if you keep using your strength, the drug will get worse and make you suffer more pain. if you want to save your life for a little longer it would be better if you stayed still. KC yells
SH hears KC’s screams and does nothing.
SR gave TS a pill/ medicine. it’s an antidote for the drugged alcohol. if it’s not taken within a day of drinking the drugged alcohol his life might be in danger. no matter what you have to do before sunset today you have to feed it to KC. TS takes the pill.
choi reports there are too many guards and they cant get close to KC. TS tells choi to prepare some rice balls. choi takes the pill and says I will do it. I am his father so I should do it.

her teacher asks if she is awake and goes in to find YW dressed and armed and asks - what are you doing now. YW says I have someplace to go but the teacher says you cant go without permission from master dam. YW asks have you ever sincerely liked someone. cuz my mind and heart is full of one person so if that person laughs I laugh with him if that person cries it makes me tear up with him - just having him by my side fills up my world and makes me safe. have you ever had that kind of person? that’s the kind of person KC is to me
*YW’s cogent words worked ten times better than binding up the teacher’s hands and feet

the teacher comes out and closes the door. gon asks if YW is up. can I go in for a second. the teacher blocks gon from going in to see YW. he asks what’s wrong. he goes around her and goes inside. he asks what’s going on - where is YW. she stalls and uses YW’s tactic and asks have you ever sincerely liked someone? gon gives her a baffled look

YW goes to find M and gives him a hint about which side he should be choosing to win the game. M asks who are you. she says dont you remember me. I saw you at the stew place with KC. he says aren’t you KC’s friend. what brings you here. YW: I have a request so I came. M says I am someone who wont listen to requests without getting money. YW: wont you go with me to rob the Inn? M: for what? YW: for  KC

choi goes in and sees KC chained up and in pain. guard asks what it is so choi says I brought food. TS told choi what to say about where the food came from – from goong (SH). choi says I was told to pass out rice balls to each guard for their hard work. choi says I brought one for that person too. it’s ok to feed him right? the guard throws it on the ground near KC. choi goes over and picks it up off the ground. KC says – father. choi cries and bites off the dirty parts and tells him to take a bite. KC says it hurts – it hurts too much so I feel like I will die father. he shows the pill inside and says hurry and eat it. before KC can take a bite the guard knocks choi away saying what are you doing- get back. if you want to eat it – eat with your mouth. a baby fox bites with his mouth to eat and not with his hands. choi begs to feed just one bite but they drag him out. KC tries to reach it but the guard kicks it away.
TS asks did you feed KC that antidote. choi says I gave it to him but I wasn’t able to see him eat it before I got chased out. TS says he has to eat it to overcome his condition
SH: what did you just say? GW tells SH that he will chain up KC in public and let everyone in the village know KC is a child of a gumiho. after letting the people stone him to death I will request the state to take care of admiral Lee SS for backing KC up. SH says SS will not be taken down so easily like that. GW says aside from KC he has other things on SS. he invites her to come out and watch if she has time. it isnt often you get to watch a child of a gumino being stoned to death -isnt that so?
after he leaves SH tells his aide I have to kill him – GW, but the aide says you cant. we need him. she asks how much longer should I hold back. he says calm down – you swore to Mihomato to do your best - dont make a mess of the work cuz of your personal rash feelings.
GW goes out and says I will see how much longer you can hide and hang on (about who she really is)
M showed up with his men and make some noise. GW asks what’s going on. M: it’s been a long time lord. it’s the first time seeing you after the mountain incident. GW: you are still alive. M says I dont have any money or power so I should at least enjoy my lifeline- isnt that so.  GW asks why did you come and make so much noise. M says I came for back payment. since I did the work I should be paid. plus all my men died so you have to compensate for that. he tells his men the lord doesn’t want to open his purse so wait till he does. they all lay on the ground in protest

KC stares at the rice ball. some guards are called away and only a few are left. suddenly one gets shot with an arrow. the rest YW takes down on her own by sword fighting. the rice ball gets kicked around.
*how cool is it that KC has a girlfriend who can actually save him herself - well at least try too.
guards go over to threaten M to stand up but M stands his ground and says to keep hanging in there. his men all lay back down.

YW only has one guy left to kill. the ball gets kicked over to him so KC ate the pill just as GW came in and yelled to stop. YW is cornered. M is dragged in all beaten. M looks over at KC and passes out. YW yells at GW to release KC right now cuz he did nothing wrong and shouldnt be chained up. GW says he is not human but a monster so of course he should be treated as a monster.  but she says from what I can see you are the monster. GW slaps her then he orders her tied up as KC yells out her name.
the servant tells TS what’s going on -that KC will be chained up in public.  TS remembers how SR told him -no matter what you have to do – if GW threatens SS with KC, you have to stop GW. TS looks over at his sword

GW brings KC out and makes the people at the Inn see what KC really is. he orders him dragged out and tied up so people can stone him to death. choi goes over and kneels in front of KC to protect him and begs GW: please save him lord – please just save him once- the deceased lord Park picked him up (out of the river) and I have held him in my arms and raised him as my child – please take back the order to stone him lord – I will do everything you want  – just please  save my son’s life. he cries and begs but GW orders choi taken away so the guards kick choi. KC yells father. dont do that. KC gets his power back and yells I said to stop it. he breaks his chains and fights off the guards.  he is about to attack GW but a pain in his chest stops him for a second. GW: you are determined to die huh. he says how KC’s condition will make his organ burst (cuz of taking the medicine after drinking all that drugged alcohol) so KC says don’t worry I have plenty of time to kill you before I die. the Japanese guard takes down KC before he can kill GW (he seems to be acting on SH’s order).  suddenly SH walks over wearing a hanbok. GW: this monster was your bloodline that you threw away in the river huh. KC looks at her and faints. choi and others rush to his side. GW:  since you showed up dressed like this – I almost mistook you for someone again. it’s getting late.  he orders his men to take that monster out and chain him. SH yells: that’s enough - stop now. you win. GW: what does that mean. SH: it means I am SH the one you killed 20 yrs ago. now that you know my real identity what will you do. what are you going to do? TS watches that from a distance. he is holding his sword
*I bawled when Choi begged for KC’s life to be spared. Choi is more of a true parent than SH will ever be
PJ asks SS -how about going after GW now (as in kill him and be rid of him) but SS says this fight wont end just cuz we get rid of one person. they would need an order from the state (or whatever higher ups are called back then). PJ says GW’s misdeeds are getting more serious. SS says everything in the world has its own time. you have to know how to choose the right time to catch your prey. now tell me what is troubling you. PJ says the monk SJ came to see me not to long ago
SJ says you have to stop WR – the moment he forgets everything  there will be a lot of deaths in the human world. PJ asks what can I do. SJ says you cant do anything - in this world there is only one person who can kill WR – KC is the only one who can kill the thousand year demon WR
WR is in the library changing into a demon. SJ calls down but WR is gone
WR is outside killing another human and taking his ki/blood. taking each life makes some of the dark veins disappear so he killed a bunch of men
SS feels bad for KC saying: even if he (WR) is a demon, he is still his true parent. the child has to kill his true father, that is such a terrible fate for KC.

SH sits by KC’s side as he sleeps. she says I heard he was picked up out of the river. choi: yes we did. SH: so you acted as his father all this time. choi says all I did was feed him, clothe him, and put him to sleep.  the lord Park MS who passed away acted more like a true father to him.  she is staring at KC as he praises KC saying how even when he was younger he was smart and cheerful, respectful to his elders, and was good to weaker people. there is no other son like him in the world. she gets up to go and says don’t tell the kid about me. it will be better if he doesnt know. please do that. choi escorts her out. KC sits up. he heard all that
SH goes to meet TS. she asks do you remember when I asked you to become my son. TS: yes I remember. SH: then can you throw away the Park TS you’ve been all this time and swear your allegiance to our goongboon. TS: what does that mean.  SH: I know that you’ve been on the school’s side and that you’ve been sending info to SS. stop doing that now and become our goongboon’s son and take over everything GW has been doing in his place. TS: are you telling me to be a traitor right now? (as in committing treason). SH: what do you mean treason. what has this country done for you? when your father was unjustly accused – did it free him from that unfair shame or did it stop your sister from being sold into the gisaeng house. you lost your family - name – everything so what is there that did this country did for you. this country gives someone like GW power so what hope is there. stop doing useless stuff (informing SS) and get the Inn back -get your sister back- also be the goongboon’s son and then I will kill GW.
GW is yelling at her aide. GW says look here- what have you all been doing with me. aide asks what are you talking about. GW: yoon SH – that woman. she used the goongboon’s name and dared to stab me in the back. how can this happen. the aide says there is a misunderstanding -she didnt have any other objective but GW yells shut up. my dealings with SH is over now. why? you think I cant do it? did you think I couldnt kill SH twice. I will do everything I can and make it so that goongbon reps/envoys can never set foot in korea ever again. aide asks for some time but GW says I dont have a lot of patience. so you choose – is it me or SH? the aide asks him to take that back but GW yells is it me or SH
choi goes to feed KC but he is gone

KC walks out and sees SH standing there. he remembers how GW accused her of throwing this monster her bloodline away in the river as soon as he was born. then how she said KC wasn’t human so whether you trample him to death or strangle him to death – or torture him in other ways – that’s for you to do whatever you want with him. and how she told choi to not tell KC who she is. she looks over at him and smiles. she speaks formally to him. SH: so you woke up. KC says yes sorry to impose on you again. SH: are you leaving. KC: yes. SH: then go safely. he says yes and turns around to leave. he turns back around and says I am asking this cuz I am really curious.  did you hate me that much? enough that you would throw me away in the river as soon as I was born – was I that abominable/disgusting? she doesn’t reply so he says I just wanted to ask once. it’s ok - with this. he turns and walks out the gate. she falls to her knees and beats herself on the chest. her aide watches from afar
CJ pours for WS so WS asks what are you trying to do now. CJ says she doesn’t want to fight with her anymore. WS asks why? cuz lord GW is backing me again so do you want to get back in my good graces. CJ gives her a box of accessories and says it’s a present. WS says you think you can turn my heart around with that. she drinks what CJ poured and says I will overlook it once but you shouldn’t mess with my anger again. got that? CJ says in banmal: you shouldn’t mess with my anger again. WS chokes and asks what did you put in the alcohol. CJ says it’s the drugged alcohol (the one WS fed KC) dont worry I will give you the antidote tm night -until then you will feel the same pain and suffering  KC went through. dont you ever use me again to do anything deceitful.  if you dream of doing that just one more time – I will pour poison down your throat and not drugged liquor -got that WS? she gets up and walks out
when she gets outside, CJ tells her maid – watch carefully – I wont be threatened by anyone -no one can mess with me. so you too – be alert and don’t disappoint me again.

YW and M are tied up in the same room. she yells at M to wake up. he thinks his mom called him so she says it’s me – not your mom. he asks where this place is. she tells him to try to get free. he struggles but cant saying it’s too tight. they hear fighting outside and KC comes in and unties YW first. M says I am not crying cuz I am happy to be alive I am crying cuz I am happy you came back. they both ignore M and YW asks KC: how are you. is your body ok? KC: thankfully cuz I ate the antidote father gave me I am a lot better. she asks then why is your face like that -  you still dont look well like you are in a lot of pain. he stares at her and then hugs her. she asks whats wrong - did something happen. he says no nothing happened at all. just cuz. she hugs him back and pats his back. M turns and sees them hugging. he looks away to give them privacy
*this is why I love YW – each time KC feels deflated by betrayals - she comes to his emotional rescue and fills him with love and concern.

gon and the kid are waiting outside. they see KC coming back with YW. KC asks what are you doing out this late. kid says I was waiting for you with teacher Gon.KC asks if gon was worried about him too but gon denies it. why would I worry about you? the kid says gon was worried all day. until we heard from TS that you were safe, he almost rushed into the Inn. Gon tries to shush the kid. gon asks if YW was ok. she says yes of course I am ok and asks if her dad knew she left secretly. gon says PJ was with SS. YW: thank goodness. the kid asks did you have dinner yet. KC says not yet – I am starving and the kid says we are too cuz we were starving waiting for you two. they decide to eat first. KC puts his arms around the kid and YW and race off. gon smirks.

KC gets served a soup with beans so KC says beans again. YW says it looks delicious and says I will eat it well teacher. KC wonders if gong put some special medicine in the soup so gong says he did. they laugh and start to eat. gong tells the kid he put beans in everything. KC smiles and looks around and it makes him remember that even though his own mother didnt want him, these are the people who matter to him.  KC cries as he eats and says the soup tastes good. YW puts her hand on his knees. gon asks if it tastes that good – enough for tears to come out. KC says yes. gong says I have plenty – I will make it again for you so eat a lot.  KC says yes I will eat it well teacher. her teacher is at the door and says I brought some alcohol. gong invites her to join them and sit over here. gong pours but KC says I dont drink. he pours for gon and says give some to YW.
M is getting drunk and his guy asks why are you like this. are you not over the shock from being beaten during the day.  M says my dongsang KC likes guys. he cries and says don’t go around and spread rumors or I will kill you. how did he end up liking guys and pushing away all those women.  he yells for more alcohol
*I guess he still thinks YW is a guy. it cracks me up that it doesnt bother him one bit that  KC is a gumiho but the thought that KC might be gay has him in tears.
KC looks at the one character SR wrote about the tree he needs to cut down. he was told by another student – did you know that corpses have been discovered in the woods again – starting from the mountain and it’s getting closer to the village


gon is practicing sword fighting outside. KC claps and says you are flying. how do you do that. gon: just cuz I explain in words it isnt something that can be learned. KC: let me ask again - what do I have to go to get stronger? gon: what does that mean? KC: cuz I have to get stronger. I have more and more that I want to protect. gon remembers how SJ said there is just one person in this world who can stop WR. gon asks: getting strong means that you have that much more to bear. KC: like what example?  gon: for example… he cant finish so KC does: are you talking about something like having to kill my father with my own hands. gon: did you know. KC: yes. gong: are you still ok with it. KC: even if I am not ok it cant be helped cuz I am the only one who can do it. isnt that so? gon says follow me
WR shows up at the village at night
SH: have you decided? TS asks if I decide to do that what do I get. SH says you get back the Inn and your sister. and that he will be an employee of their goongbon as it’s rep.  TS: what can I do for the goongbon. she asks him to get back the map they lost from SS first. TS: for now will that be all. SH: for now that will be all. TS: then when will GW die. she says he will die tonight. the aide sits and listens to all that
GW hears something and asks who is out there. he goes out and his guards are all dead. he yells is no one outside. suddenly a sword is at his throat. he asks who is it? did SH send you? an assassin is about to kill him but the assassin gets killed instead.
*I bet SH’s aide turned on her cuz she was losing sight of her job cuz of her personal issues so he accepted GW’s offer.
gon takes KC over to PJ. PJ has a sword in hand. gon calls out to him.

WR goes to the Inn and asks who is it? who called me here. he looks at the Inn. SH is inside
YW goes to see SH. SH welcomes her and says you wanted to see me.  YW says hello I am dam YW. SH asks if YW is PJ’s daughter. YW: yes that’s right. SH: what brings you here so late at night. YW: cuz I have something to tell you about KC
KC: what are you saying? PJ orders KC to take his bracelet off and accept his sword (as in fight him). PJ is holding it out to attack so KC looks shocked and says master.
