The envoy stops his guards from interfering, allowing Tae-ok and the other slaves to go free.

The two men face each other in a final battle, with Gurutai ordering his mistress to hold Tae-ok at knifepoint and a Qing envoy observing the duel. With little time remaining, Tae-yul confronts Min, now employed by Gurutai after betraying Lee out of disgust for his self-serving ways.Īfter a brief duel, Tae-yul forces Min to yield, at which point Gurutai slits his throat for losing. Seon admits to Tae-yul that he'll still go blind anyway, at which point he won't be able to fight. He finally collapses from exhaustion, and is rescued by Lee and Seon, who administer the herbs. Tae-yul shows up and kills not only the entire company of riflemen but Gurutai's assassins as well. Lee, leading a force of royal guardsmen, tries to rescue his daughter but instead watches helplessly as his men are gunned down by Qing riflemen. A lone survivor agrees to lead him to Gurutai's private compound. He locates the main slave camp used by Gurutai and burns it to the ground after butchering the guards and freeing those held captive inside.
Tae-yul learns about his daughter's kidnapping when he survives an attempt on his life, then saves Seon from a retaliatory attack by a Qing slaver. Later that evening, Tae-ok leaves for Lee's estate, where Gurutai and his personal retinue of assassins soon carry out an ambush, killing all of Lee's servants and taking his daughter and Tae-ok as hostages. Gurutai's men harass Seon and her workers, and Tae-yul, using only his cane, fights them off when they threaten Tae-ok. He also makes a request to Seon for help finding a young girl to care for his aging mother Seon recommends Tae-ok, who is both excited at the prospect of being adopted by a wealthy family and earning the herbs her father needs. Lee Mok-yo, a respected member of the court, decides to write a petition to the King to start openly resisting the Qing and their demands.
With their nation already suffering under the corrupt rule of the Qing, the King and his advisors fear that Gurutai will soon force them to hand over their own children as "tributes" to Qing nobles. The Joseon royal court receives a visit from Gurutai, a relative of the Qing emperor who has enriched himself by enslaving and selling captives taken during the recent Qing invasion of Joseon. The monk sends them to the trader Hwa Seon, but Seon reveals that the herbs are both too expensive and only available to those with political connections. Tae-yul's injuries have grown worse, and a local monk warns Tae-ok that unless his eyes are treated with special herbs, he will go completely blind in a few days. The two live and work as trappers, but Tae-ok is increasingly frustrated with her father's refusal to let her experience life outside of their home in the mountains Tae-yul retorts that the world is far more dangerous than she understands and that he only wants to protect her. Years later, an older Tae-yul now lives with his teenage daughter, Tae-ok. The King personally stops the duel, declaring that he will abdicate the throne, and releases Tae-yul from his service. One of the rebellion's leaders, Min Seung-ho, challenges him to a duel, during which Tae-yul's sword shatters and shards of metal pierce his eyes. Tae-yul, the best swordsman in Joseon who serves King Gwanghaegun as his bodyguard, refuses to join a rebellion of the King's top officials, who believe him too weak to lead the nation against foreign invaders.
