...!
CAPTAIN!
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
THIS IS UNBELIEVABLE...
DID CAPTAIN KIM AND GWIYEONG...
...REALLY DO ALL THIS BY THEMSELVES?
THERE ARE BODIES EVERYWHERE.
I DON'T THINK ANYONE SURVIVED THE ATTACK.
NO... LOOK CLOSER.
MOST OF THE DEAD ARE WOMEN AND THE ELDERLY.
THERE ARE HARDLY ANY BODIES OF FIGHTING-AGED MEN.
WH-WHAT DOES THAT MEAN...?
YUJEONG... TAKE A LOOK AT THIS.
....?
ALL THE CORPSES...
...ARE MISSING THEIR FINGERS.
YOU KNOW WHAT'S THE ONE THING I LOVE ABOUT THIS PLACE?
EVERYONE COMPLAINS ABOUT THE FREEZING COLD, BUT THEY DON'T SEE THE BEAUTY OF IT.
THE COLD WEATHER STOPS BODIES FROM ROTTING.
AND THAT MEANS I GET TO ENJOY MY HOBBY FOR A LONG, LONG TIME.
ISN'T THAT WONDERFUL?
HAHA, YOU ARE QUITE RIGHT.
HIM AND HIS GRUESOME HOBBY OF COLLECTING DEAD PEOPLE'S FINGERS...
CHIEF!
CHIEF PANNU!!
WHAT'S ALL THE FUSS ABOUT?
CH-CHIEF PANNU...
YOU NEED TO COME! NOW!
WE'RE BEING ATTACKED BY LI GIO'S TRIBE!
THERE'S A WHOLE BUNCH OF THEM...!
KILL THEM!
BURN THE WHOLE PLACE DOWN!
RAAAH!
THOSE BASTARDS!
THEY AMBUSHED US AT THE CRACK OF DAWN!
THE NERVE OF THESE SCOUNDRELS! HAVE YOU NO SHAME?!
YOU WERE THE ONES WHO ATTACKED US IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT!
EVERYONE KNOWS YOUR CHIEF'S SICK LITTLE HOBBY!
DON'T PLAY DUMB! IT'S NOT GONNA WORK!
WHAT IS THIS NONSENSE ABOUT?
OH, FORGET IT! KILL THEM ALL!
IS THIS...
...WHY HE CUT THE FINGERS FROM ALL THE CORPSES?
HE MIMICKED THE HABIT OF A RIVAL TRIBE'S CHIEF...
...TO MAKE THEM FIGHT EACH OTHER.
HE TURNED THE BARBARIANS AGAINST EACH OTHER!
FATHER! YOU MUST HIDE! QUICK!
MOTHER ALWAYS GETS MAD AT YOU WHENEVER YOU DROP BY ONLY TO GET A CHANGE OF CLOTHES, REMEMBER?
REALLY?
DOES THAT MEAN YOU'RE SLEEPING WITH US TONIGHT?
I WAS OVERJOYED TO HAVE MY HUSBAND BACK FROM THE CLUTCHES OF THE KINGDOM...
...AND THAT THE KIDS GOT THEIR LOST FATHER BACK.
WHAT IF YOU DON'T GO?
CAN'T YOU STAY HERE WITH US?
AND I...
...NEED YOU TOO.
YOU HAVE TO CALM YOURSELF DOWN...
HE'S JUST A LITTLE BOY.
YOU DON'T HAVE TO DO THIS.
WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING...?
HE'S NOT A RIDER.
YOU SHOULD ONLY KILL THOSE WHO DESERVE IT, CAPTAIN.
HE'S A BARBARIAN CHILD...
HE WILL EVENTUALLY GROW UP TO KILL OUR PEOPLE AND CHILDREN.
YOU MUST NOT LOSE YOURSELF, CAPTAIN--
YOU FOOLS!
YOU MUST'VE LOST IT.
HOW DARE YOU ATTACK MY TRIBE?
PANNU!!
DID YOU THINK YOU'D GET AWAY WITH KILLING CHIEF LI GIO?
WHAT? HE'S DEAD?
ARE YOU SAYING LI GIO IS DEAD?
HAHAHA!
THAT'S THE BEST NEWS I'VE HEARD LATELY!
B-BASTARD...!
IT'S A SHAME I DIDN'T GET TO KILL HIM MYSELF.
BUT IT FEELS LIKE A WEIGHT HAS BEEN LIFTED OFF MY SHOULDERS.
PLEASE DON'T SURRENDER NOW. MAN UP AND JOIN YOUR CHIEF...
...IN DEATH!
KILL HIM!
CHARGE!!
I'M GONNA--
HOW COWARDLY OF YOU TO GANG UP ON ME. THAT'S NOT MANLY AT ALL...
DIE, PANNU!
AND AN AMBUSH...?
TOTALLY NOT MANLY.
WH-WHAT...?
YOU MONSTER...
BWAHAHA! COME AT ME!!!
I'LL HAVE PLENTY OF FLOWERS TO PLANT IN MY GARDEN TODAY!
HE MUST BE THEIR CHIEF.
YES. HE'S A CRUDE FOOL, BUT HIS TRIBE FEARS HIS BRUTISH STRENGTH.
DO YOU THINK A SIMPLE-MINDED FOOL LIKE HIM...
...COULD'VE THOUGHT OF A CUNNING MOVE LIKE ATTACKING YOUR FAMILY?
WELL...
WHO KNOWS?
THAT'S WHY...
...WE ARE GOING TO CAPTURE AND INTERROGATE HIM.
BWAHAHA!
IS THAT EVERYTHING?
HOW MANY DID YOU GET?
I GOT THEM FROM 36 CORPSES.
I TOLD YOU TO BRING ME ONLY THEIR PINKIES, SO I DON’T END UP WITH TOO MANY FINGERS TO PLANT.
THAT’S TWO FOR EACH PERSON... AND THERE ARE 36 OF THEM... HMM...
DARN IT. I GIVE UP. THIS IS TOO TOUGH.
ANYWAY, THAT MEANS I HAVE A WHOLE BUNCH OF THEM NOW, RIGHT?
HAHA, YOU’RE RIGHT.
GREAT. I’M GOING TO PLANT THESE FLOWERS IN MY GARDEN RIGHT AWAY.
HOLD OFF THE PARTY UNTIL I GET BACK!
YES, CHIEF...
HUM, HUM. I HAVE 70 FLOWERS...
74 FLOWERS... OR 73, IS IT? HUM, HUM...
YOU SEEM TO BE IN A GOOD MOOD.
...!!
IN A WAY, THEY WERE YOUR KIN.
BUT YOU DIDN’T SHOW ANY HESITATION IN TAKING THEIR LIVES.
OH, ARE YOU THE ONE...
...WHO TOOK CARE OF MY LITTLE PROBLEM?
I HAVE A QUESTION FOR YOU.
WILL YOU ANSWER ME ONCE I DEFEAT YOU?
HAHAHA! MAN, I LIKE THIS!
A FAIR DUEL! NOW, THAT'S MANLY!
I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOU WANT FROM ME, BUT SO BE IT.
IN EXCHANGE, YOU'LL ALSO ANSWER MY QUESTION WHEN I DEFEAT YOU
NOW, COME AND FIGHT ME!!
...?!
WHAT...?
DON'T GIVE ME THAT NONSENSE ABOUT BEING MANLY...
...WHEN YOU DON'T EVEN QUALIFY AS A HALF-DECENT HUMAN BEING.
After the attack, corpses are found everywhere in the village; most are women and the elderly, there are no men of fighting age, and all the corpses have had their fingers cut off. It is understood that this was a ploy done to turn the tribes against each other by imitating rival chief Pannu's hobby of collecting dead fingers. Li Gio's tribe attacks Pannu at dawn, and the area turns into a battlefield. Meanwhile, a captain is questioned about whether or not to kill a barbarian child.
