Back in the village, the chief tells his son that the subjugation competition has started. He says that he hopes that the new recruits will not provoke the blood-red gang. He also says that the alcoholic swordsman, Pyeon Yeohyang, was once called a "murdering machine" by the locals. The chief says that they need to expel him from the village. The son is very sorry that he has spent so much money on medicine for his mother, who died during treatment. He is very angry that the people from his village did not eat so that they could pay for his father's medicine. He asks the chief to spare the family, and the chief replies that there are many "rogues" roaming in the area. The father is very grateful for the money, and he asks the son to take it to his father where his mother is buried so that he can use it to buy medicine for him. He then asks the father to stand back so that no one enters the area that deserves death.
