I KNEW YOUR CRUDE ANTICS WOULD RUIN EVERYTHING ONE DAY...
...GHOST'S SHADOW!
THERE'S THE SUPERVISOR! SEE? WHAT DID I TELL YOU?
IT WAS JUST A TEST...
THOSE ROTTEN BARBARIAN BASTARDS!!
WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING?
WHY DID YOU STOP ME...?
A GROUP OF JURCHENS HAS BEEN CONSTANTLY RAIDING THE VILLAGES IN THE AREA.
THEY'VE SPLIT UP FROM THE MAIN FORCE. SO THEY KEEP RELOCATING THEIR BASE, MAKING IT HARD TO TRACK THEM DOWN.
THE AUTHORITIES HAVE BEEN TRYING TO FIND THEM FOR YEARS, BUT THEY ALWAYS MANAGED TO SLIP AWAY.
THAT'S WHY THE CHETAMJAS HAVE BEEN ON THEIR TRAIL FOR MONTHS.
TO COMPLETELY ROOT THESE CRAFTY BASTARDS OUT,
WE HAVE TO CATCH THEIR SCOUTS AND FIND OUT WHERE THEIR BASE IS.
BUT YOU JUST TRIED TO KILL THOSE VERY SCOUTS WE'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR.
YOU NEARLY RUINED EVERYTHING WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON FOR MONTHS.
THESE BARBARIANS...
...THREATENED THE LIVES OF OUR PEOPLE. AND YOU BLAME ME FOR IT?
LET ME MAKE THIS CLEAR.
YOUR FURY IS NOTHING SPECIAL.
IT'S JUST A NIFTY TRICK THAT GETS THROWN AWAY AFTER THE FIRST USE.
DON'T LET ALL THIS GHOST'S SHADOW NONSENSE GET TO YOUR HEAD...
...JUST BECAUSE PEOPLE TALK ABOUT YOU. YOU ARE A NOBODY.
I DON'T KNOW WHY YOU'VE BEEN ON MY CASE SINCE DAY ONE--
HEY!!!
THIS IS NO TIME TO BE FIGHTING! HE'S GETTING AWAY!
DARN IT!
RUN!!
THERE WERE THREE OF YOU! HOW COULD YOU LET HIM GET AWAY?!
DARN IT!
SO TWO OF THEM GOT AWAY...
I APOLOGIZE, SIR. IT'S MY FAULT...
GWIYEONG.
I HEARD IT HAPPENED BECAUSE YOU WENT ON A RAMPAGE.
WELL... GWIYEONG DID GO SLIGHTLY BERSERK, BUT HE--
THEN WHAT WAS HE SUPPOSED TO DO, SIR?
THEY THREATENED THE LIVES OF OUR PEOPLE.
WERE WE SUPPOSED TO SIT THERE AND WATCH THAT HAPPEN?!
SILENCE! YOU WILL LEARN TO ADDRESS THE GENERAL WITH RESPECT!
SIR, I WAS ONLY--
WELL DONE.
THINGS DID NOT GO AS PLANNED,
BUT I CANNOT HOLD YOU ACCOUNTABLE FOR THAT.
IN FACT, THE TROOPS SHOULD HAVE NEVER LET THEM SLIP AWAY IN THE FIRST PLACE.
AS FOR YOU, YOU DESERVE PRAISE FOR PROTECTING THE PEOPLE OF JOSEON. DON'T LET ANYONE TELL YOU OTHERWISE.
AS A SUBJECT OF JOSEON, YOU WERE RIGHT TO BRING THE BARBARIANS DOWN.
HOWEVER, THAT WOULD'VE BEEN A MISTAKE AS A CHETAMJA.
THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I HAD BEEN WORRIED ABOUT.
A CHETAMJA IS NOT SOMEONE WHO KILLS. A CHETAMJA OBSERVES.
LET ME ASK YOU THIS. ONCE YOU BECOME A CHETAMJA...
...WILL YOU BE ABLE TO KEEP YOURSELF IN CHECK WHEN YOU SEE THE JURCHENS?
HE CAN'T, SIR! JUST LOOK AT HIM.
HE GOES BERSERK AT THE FIRST SIGHT OF THE JURCHENS--
TELL ME...
...WHICH OF THE TWO CAN KILL MORE OF THEM.
WHAT...?
IF I BECOME A SOLDIER, I CAN KILL THE BARBARIANS MYSELF.
IF I BECOME A CHETAMJA, I WOULD BE CREATING OPPORTUNITIES FOR OTHERS TO KILL THEM.
SO WHICH ONE OF THE TWO WOULD HELP ME KILL MORE OF THOSE BARBARIANS?
YOU ARROGANT BASTARD. WE'VE HAD ENOUGH OF YOUR NONSENSE--
IF ONE HAD TO COMPARE THE TWO...
...I'D SAY A CHETAMJA WOULD BE ABLE TO KILL MUCH MORE BARBARIANS.
IT'S BEYOND COMPARISON.
CAPTAIN! WHY-?
THAT'S RIGHT.
THAT'S WHAT THE CHETAMJAS ARE FOR.
THEN I'LL DO IT.
IF IT WOULD HELP ME KILL EVEN ONE MORE BARBARIAN...
...THEN I'LL LEARN TO CONTROL MYSELF.
DON'T GET AHEAD OF YOURSELF.
WHO SAID WE'RE ACCEPTING YOU?!
SPLIT UP THE NINE APPLICANTS INTO THREE SQUADS. EACH SQUAD WILL BE LED BY A SENIOR CHETAMJA.
...!!
THE SQUADS WILL SPLIT UP INTO THREE DIRECTIONS AND CATCH THE BARBARIANS WHO FLED.
YOU ARE NOT TO KILL THEM. THEY ARE SCOUTS.
WE NEED TO FIND OUT WHICH AREAS THEY'RE PLANNING TO ATTACK.
THIS WILL BE YOUR FOURTH TEST AND YOUR FIRST MISSION AS A CHETAMJA.
DARN IT...
HOW DID THIS HAPPEN?
I CAN'T BELIEVE THEY GROUPED US LIKE THIS!
THIS IS SO\nUNCOMFORTABLE.\nI CAN'T STAND IT\nANYMORE!
O-OOF, IT'S PRETTY\nCOLD HERE. I GUESS\nIT REALLY IS THE NORTH,\nHUH? ISN'T THAT RIGHT,\nGUYS? HAHA...
DARN IT!!\nGET ME OUT OF\nHERE!!
EXCUSE ME.
SIR YUJEONG?\nMR. SUPERVISOR?
WHAT SHOULD\nWE CALL YOU?
YOU WILL\nADDRESS ME AS YOUR\nSQUAD LEADER.
OKAY, SQUAD\nLEADER. CAN I ASK\nYOU A QUESTION?
WHAT IS IT?
WHY ARE YOU SUCH AN A**HOLE TO GWIYEONG?
I MEAN, IS THERE A REASON FOR IT?
THAT WAS SO RUDE! BUT I DO WANT TO KNOW TOO!
THAT'S FUNNY.
YOU TRIED TO KILL HIM DURING THE THIRD TEST.
BUT NOW, YOU'RE CHUMMY WITH HIM AND ARE EVEN DEFENDING HIM.
OH, THAT'S BECAUSE I CLEARED UP THE MISUNDERSTANDING.
I THOUGHT GWIYEONG WASN'T HIMSELF ANYMORE, BUT THAT WASN'T THE CASE.
WHAT'S THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN?
SQUAD LEADER, YOU HAVEN'T ANSWERED MY QUES... MMPH!
HAHA, I SURE HOPE WE'LL CATCH THOSE BARBARIANS SOON.
KEEP THIS IN MIND.
IF YOU GO BERSERK AGAIN AS YOU DID BACK AT THE TAVERN...
...I WILL CUT YOU DOWN MYSELF.
SURE
WHATEVER
GET DOWN!
TH-THEY'RE BARBARIANS, RIGHT? BUT THEY DON'T LOOK LIKE THE ONES WHO GOT AWAY.
I FIGURED AS MUCH... THEIR BASE MUST BE SOMEWHERE NEARBY.
WE MUST PROCEED CAREFULLY. WE WILL SILENTLY TRACK THEM AND--
GWIYEONG...?
DON'T LEAVE ANYTHING TO CHANCE.
SHOOT THE FLAMING ARROWS.
IT'S BEEN FIVE YEARS...
REMEMBER ME?
Gwiyeong goes berserk when he sees the Jurchen scouts and nearly ruins the months-long operation. The General praises him for protecting the people but says a Chetamja is not a killer but an observer. Gwiyeong argues that he needs to be a Chetamja to kill more barbarians. Nine candidates are divided into three teams; capturing the fleeing Jurchen scouts alive is the fourth test. To the north, it becomes clear the Jurchen base is near; the scene closes with the question, 'It's been five years... Do you remember me?'
