Mu-song
what's up?
I need some steel arrows.
What for?
Are you going anywhere?
I'm going to buyeo.
Buyeo?
To attack buyeo?
What? You're carrying this out without telling the general?
Yes, I couldn't tell him.
I can understand how you feel, but...
Well done.
If the general knew this, he would've gone to buyeo.
That'll make him fall into prince dae-so's trap.
Do you think you can save lady yoo-hwa and her highness ye soya?
We don't have a plan.
We'll have to come up with one in buyeo.
I'll join you.
Why?
Although oh-yi, mari, and hyeop-Bo were royal bodyguards,
I know the palace better than they do.
They'll need my help.
How pathetic.
All you can think about is your girl.
What do you take me for?
I think you should stay out of this.
What?
Our life is on the line.
We're only selecting the best of the best from the da-mul army to join us.
You're too slow.
You can ruin our plan.
You're calling me slow?
Is that what you think of me?
I used to be the general's teacher!
Be quiet!
You have a lot of responsibility on your shoulders.
Do everything you can to bring them.
I feel so bad whenever I see the general because I couldn't bring them with me.
Help me get this load off my back.
I need you to help me.
What is it?
I need to send mu-deuk outside.
Tell me what to do.
There's only one way.
What is it?
She needs to die.
Die?
If she takes the pill I give her, we can disguise her as dead.
Mu-deuk.
Yes?
Once you get out of this prison with the doctor's pill, go to mt. Bon-gye.
Do everything you can to give my letter to ju-mong.
How are you going to write a letter in prison?
I have a plan.
Don't worry.
Are you okay?
Yes.
Just bear with me.
I'll do everything I can to save you and your child.
Mother...
When hae mo-su was tricked and arrested by the han,
I went to hyeon-to to see him.
Hae mo-su was tied up on the criminal's stand in the street.
I went up to him among the crowd, but he couldn't see me.
He was blind.
I felt sorry for myself and wanted to die.
But I had already conceived ju-mong.
I thought I should give birth to ju-mong
and raise him in order to continue my bond with hae mo-s...
In order for you to continue your bond with ju-mong, you must be strong.
Changchun.
Mu-gul and muk-guh
check their movements and come to the inn.
Yes.
Where did you come from?
We are from buyeo.
Buyeo?
Why did you come here?
We are on the way to hyeon-to city.
We'll stay at the inn tonight and leave tomorrow morning.
You.
Yes.
Show me you're buyeo ID.
If you are from buyeo, you must have an ID.
I have it here.
Do you think ju-mong will come?
Of course he will. I'm going to kill his mother, wife, and child.
Your royal highness, why don't you take on the throne?
I couldn't hold back my anger
when I saw his majesty draw a sword at you to save lady yoo-hwa and ye soya.
His majesty will continue to hold you back.
You have no reason to persevere and wait.
Are you telling me to kill my own father?
No.
Then what?
Is there any other way to succeed the throne?
You can dethrone him.
Although I took his majesty's power, I only did it to save myself.
You're his daughter-in-law.
How can you say such immoral things?
I only said that because I felt bad about how he...
Stop it!
I don't know why you're getting mad at me.
Are you mad because I'm putting your innermost thoughts into words?
I know you feel the same way as me. Am I wrong?
Shut up!
Are you there, hao-chen?
Did you ask for me?
Get me a messenger to send to hyeon-to.
Yes.
Is anyone outside?
Yes, your majesty.
Did you ask for me, your majesty?
Tell the queen that I'd like to talk to her.
Yes.
Even if ju-mong shows up before the due date,
we must get rid of lady yoo-hwa and ye soya.
Lady yoo-hwa is the root of calamity in the buyeo palace, not ju-mong.
I need to kill her in order to satisfy my grudges.
Anyways, I don't know if ju-mong will come.
If he doesn't come, he'll take a hard blow.
Think about it.
The world will know that he's a cold-blooded man
who abandoned his mother and wife.
He wants to build a new nation with the refugees.
No one's going to follow a cold-blooded leader like him!
Build a nation? Him?
That's ridiculous.
Your majesty.
His majesty is looking for you.
He's probably going to beg me to save yoo-hwa.
Just come up with an excuse not to go.
No, I want to see what he has to say.
Lead the way.
I heard you were looking for me.
Have a seat.
What a surprise. You never ask for me.
During the last few days,
I've been looking back at the years we've spent together.
You never cared for me.
What's there to look back on?
There's a reason why my bond with you had gone bad.
After the wedding, your father, who was the maga chief at the time,
threatened me to ally with han in a disgraceful way.
At the time, I was leading the da-mul army with hae mo-s...
I was angry, and my conflict with your father eventually made me dislike you.
Even if I were to understand you,
you even mistreated your own sons dae-so and young-po.
How can you expect dae-so to be filial to you when you've been so cold to him?
It's your fault that dae-so took your power.
You're right.
I've been wrong.
Now I'll take responsibility, and give the throne to dae-so.
I will resign from my throne.
I want you to protect lady yoo-hwa and ye soya.
Your majesty.
Are you calling that a deal?
You used to be a wise man. What happened to you?
Dae-so already has the power of buyeo.
The officers and the people consider dae-so their king.
Your throne is just for show.
Dae-so can have the throne anytime at my will.
It's not something you can keep or give.
I'm only holding myself back so the people won't be stirred.
Just wait and see.
I'm going to kill ju-mong and yoo-hwa in front of your own eyes.
- Did you find anything out? - Yes.
There were about 500 soldiers with 100 han soldiers from hyeon-to.
The han soldiers were guarding the steel mine.
There are fewer soldiers than we expected.
Probably because they're located near hyeon-to.
If we attack changchun and take over the steel mine,
that'll be a huge blow to Yang-jeong.
We're going to attack changchun as soon as we get back.
Let's go.
Yes.
He's a buyeo soldier.
I think he's a messenger going to hyeon-to.
Why don't we get him, to see how things are in buyeo?
Where are you going?
To hyeon-to.
Whose letter is that?
Answer me.
This is from her highness sul-LAN, to the hyeon-to governor.
What's wrong?
Tell me what's going on with lady yoo-hwa and ye soya.
His royal highness sent a messenger to mt. Bon-gye to tell prince ju-mong that
they will be killed if he doesn't show up in the buyeo palace by the full moon.
Nothing.
We saw a business troop, but they weren't from han.
Why are you back so early?
Where are oh-yi, mari, and hyeop-Bo?
Well... I haven't seen them around.
Did they go to buyeo?
General.
I asked did they go to buyeo?!
Yes.
Did they take the da-mul army?
Yes, they took only the best from the da-mul army.
Why are you back so early?
Did you know this, too?
I know that oh-yi, ma-ri, and hyeop-Bo went to buyeo.
I had no choice.
You had no choice?
My mother and wife's lives are in danger!
If you knew what happened, you would've gone to buyeo.
I wanted to stop you from going to buyeo.
Oh-yi, ma-ri, and hyeop-Bo will save lady yoo-hwa and her highness, ye soya.
How is oh-yi, mari, and hyeop-Bo going to save my mother and wife with just a few da-mul soldiers?
Buyeo is not a small tribe.
There are thousands of soldiers guarding the palace!
How are they going to save them?
We'll have to trust their loyalty and leave it to the heavens.
I'm leaving.
No.
You're about to build a nation.
You shouldn't ruin your great mission because of personal sentiment.
Still, I can't just watch my mother and wife die.
General, calm down.
We're going to buyeo!
What should we do?
Let's just pray that he'll be safe.
That's the only thing we can do.
In order to trade in buyeo, don't we need consent from the royal court first?
Let's go to the buyeo palace tomorrow.
Let's find an inn to stay for the night.
Okay.
Sa-yong, get some news on buyeo from the streets.
When we go back to gyehru,
you should refrain from traveling until the baby is born.
I'll do as you say.
From this trip, I once again learned what a great businesswoman you are.
But I don't understand why you'd want to spend everything on building a palace.
I volunteered to resign from the gyehru chief position
because it doesn't mean anything to me anymore.
In order to prepare to unite jol-bon and build a great nation,
I should stay out of chief song-Yang and chae-ryeong's sight.
We don't even have an army.
How are you going to do that?
My riches will take care of everything.
Just wait and see.
Did you find anything out?
Prince ju-mong is in great danger.
What do you mean?
I thought he was fighting off the buyeo and han army in mt. Bon-gye?
Prince dae-so's going to kill lady yoo-hwa and lady ye soya
if he doesn't come by the full moon.
Prince ju-mong has to come back to buyeo.
Check him.
How is she?
She's gotten much better.
I will report this to his royal highness and prepare medicine for her.
Okay.
Your majesty, the priestesses are here.
Let them in.
Welcome.
I heard that dae-so was rude to you.
He's under a lot of stress.
Please understand him.
Your majesty,
I understand he's under a lot of stress,
but I think it's a mistake that dae-so holds lady yoo-hwa and ye soya as hostages to lure ju-mong here.
Mistake?
Is there any other way to get ju-mong here?
My opinion is that your majesty and prince dae-so are overly paranoid about ju-mong.
You said that ju-mong is the three-legged bird and that made us afraid of him.
You said that the three-legged bird will attack buyeo some day.
Yes, of course. That's a sure thing.
However, he's no more than the head of a useless group of refugees.
It's not wise to worry about him now.
The people are upset about lady yoo-hwa and ye soya's arrest.
Also, ye soya is pregnant.
For now, let them out of jail.
You can put them under house arrest.
I'll tell dae-so what you said.
We rushed here, but how are we going to find oh-yi, mari,
and hyeop-Bo in this vast buyeo land?
Mu-gol, look for them in the buyeo streets.
We had a hideout when we were in buyeo.
If they didn't take action yet, they might be there.
Let's go.
Did you find anything out?
The royal guards are keeping a security on where we used to enter the palace.
We can't get into the buyeo palace right now.
Then let's go to mt. Chunma for now.
Let's go.
Don't worry.
You'll wake up after a short blackout.
Mu-deuk!
Wake up!
Is anyone out there?
What's the matter?
Call the doctor! Now!
What's wrong?
She's dead.
What happened?
She said she was feeling unwell for days, but you didn't listen to her!
How can you guys be so heartless?
Mu-deuk!
Mu-deuk...
Mu-deuk!
I think I should listen to the priestesses.
Why don't we confine lady yoo-hwa and ye soya in their chambers?
I'll do as you say.
Your royal highness. It's me, na-ru.
Come in.
Your royal highness, we have trouble.
What is it?
Lady yoo-hwa's maid in the prison is dead.
You mean mu-deuk?
Yes.
Did you check for yourself?
Yes, your royal highness.
The people are upset as it is.
We'll be in trouble if they find out.
Get rid of the corpse discreetly.
Remove lady yoo-hwa and ye soya to be confined in their chambers.
Yes.
Throw her away in here.
Do it.
Let's go!
Yes.
I heard you were looking for me.
I need you to go to gyehru.
Give this to my father. He'll write you a letter.
What's the matter?
We haven't even finished our business yet.
This is important.
Hurry.
Yes.
Governor.
What is it?
We're expecting an envoy from Chang'an to buyeo.
An envoy?
It's master chin joong-moon.
Chin joong-moon?
Is master chin really coming?
Yes.
He's coming to hyeon-to with prince young-po.
He's probably sent from the royal court
to hold us liable for not sending the refugees as slaves.
Dong-sun.
Yes?
Go and tell this news to buyeo immediately.
Yes.
Welcome.
It seems like hyeon-to hasn't heard how angry the emperor is yet.
You seem to be in good humor.
Long time no see.
What brings you to gyehru?
Lady so seo-no sent me to discuss something with elder yeon ta-bal.
Discuss something?
Discuss what?
It's about trading in buyeo.
I see.
You can go now.
I know he's keeping a secret from us.
Go and find out.
Yes.
What is it?
Remember how we looked into the buyeo palace when our troop first went to buyeo?
Yes.
I know the buyeo palace like the back of my hand.
So seo-no wants to know the secret passageway to the buyeo palace.
What's going on?
Tell me.
I think she's trying to get lady yoo-hwa and lady ye soya out.
What?
Hold on.
What is it?
Something's wrong.
General.
How did you...?
Get up.
How can you do this to me?
I thought this was the right thing to do.
The right thing to do?
Facing death without telling me is the right thing to do?
What else can we do?
You'd get killed if you go to buyeo!
We can't let you do that!
Right.
The da-mul army will be gone if you die.
We can't let you die.
My mother and wife's lives are on the line.
This wasn't something you can decide in haste.
You are the leading figures of the da-mul army and my brothers.
How can I build a new nation without you guys?
If we should die, then we're dying together.
Do you think ju-mong will come to buyeo today?
He will die, so why would he come?
Let's go outside.
Kneel down!
If ju-mong doesn't make it here by sunset, you and ye soya will be dead.
You're so foolish.
If ju-mong were to come back for me,
then he would've taken me when he left buyeo in the first place.
He's not coming.
Just kill me now.
What happened?
Lady yoo-hwa and her highness ye soya
were dragged to the royal audience chamber.
You can stay here and wait.
I'll go to the buyeo palace to settle things with dae-so.
You can't go.
Even if you give up your life, I doubt he'll let the two women go.
Mari's right.
We have to find a way to save them.
They'll die while we're looking for a way.
Wait for me.
Prince!
Mu-deuk!
I waited three days and nights in here for you.
This is a letter from her highness to you.
She wrote this on her underskirt with her blood in prison.
Ju-mong.
I hope you didn't come to buyeo to get this letter.
But even if you do, you must never come to the buyeo palace.
Remember how I told you not to turn back to me or buyeo, once you leave?
Before you think about soya and me,
think about the thousands of refugees who are depending on you.
It was hae mo-su's dream
and your mission to provide a new home and nation for them.
If I can lay down my life for your new nation,
soya and I will be happy to take on the sword.
If you come into the buyeo palace after reading this letter,
soya and I will die in front of your eyes.
Please don't disappoint your mother.
Mother...
Mother!
What happened?
Is ju-mong here?
He's not here yet.
The sun has set, but he's still not here.
How pitiful for that tramp, yoo-hwa.
His mother and wife are about to die, yet he wants to save his own life.
I never knew ju-mong was this vulgar.
Your royal highness.
Why don't you kill them now?
Let's wait.
He's not coming.
Don't wait foolishly.
He's not foolish enough to hold himself back because of personal sentiments.
Ye soya and I are willing to die to help ju-mong realize his mission.
You can kill us now.
What are you waiting for?
They're asking for it! Kill them!
Kill them now!
Your royal highness!
Mother.
How is she?
She's very weak.
I'll go make medicine and bring it.
We should go back to mt. Bon-gye.
We don't even know if lady yoo-hwa and ye soya are dead or alive.
Manager sa-yong!
I was worried I might not find you here.
What are you doing here?
Lady so seo-no is looking for prince ju-mong.
Come with me.
General.
Manager sa-yong is here.
What's this?
A map of the secret passageway to the buyeo palace.
Act once it turns dark
be fully prepared
as long as lady yuhwa and lady ye soya are alive
jumong will definitely not attack buyeo palace
do not do things...
That will go against daeso in the future
I'm no longer the same youngpo as before
jumong might have reached buyeo
I've something to ask your royal highness
what's the reason for not killing...
Lady yuhwa and ye soya
your highness
mother, if you don't get up
who else can I trust and rely on'?
Invite my mother and lady ye soya to the shrine
