Episode 54.
You can go inside.
Your royal highness.
Come outside.
I have something to tell his royal highness.
Make it quick.
Your royal highness, you must take care of yourself at a time like this.
This is her majesty the queen's request.
Please eat.
Okay.
You're dismissed.
Your royal highness.
Tell my mother not to worry about me.
Your royal highness, ju-mong is in the palace right now.
Ju-mong?
What's ju-mong doing in buyeo?
His majesty sent general heuk-chi to summon him.
Your royal highness!
Please calm down!
Your royal highness...
Is anyone outside?!
I need to talk to his majesty.
Open the gate!
Your royal highness.
I said open the gate! Now!
Your royal highness, forgive me.
I can't do that unless his majesty orders us otherwise.
How long do you think I'm going to stay in prison?
If you don't open up right now, I'm going to kill you!
Open the gate!
Forgive me.
Let's go outside.
Open the gate!
I said, open the gate!
Did you talk to dae-so?
Yes.
What did he say when you told him that ju-mong is back?
His royal highness was probably mad. There's no doubt about it.
You're right.
Any news from young-po?
No, your majesty.
One son is in prison, and the other is missing.
Yet the enemy of buyeo is being welcomed back.
This doesn't make any sense!
What's wrong with buyeo?
Your majesty...
Here you go.
Thank you.
I've heard of how active the da-mul army has been.
You took over joongsan and the steel mine.
Even hae mo-su and I weren't able to accomplish that.
Since you took over their steel supply, han will try to get back at you.
Do you have a plan?
Yang-jeong can't afford to attack the da-mul army right now.
They'll need the liao dong army, but that'll take time.
The da-mul army can defend joongsan if they are well-trained.
The da-mul army is high in spirits, but they're only a few hundred men.
How much training can they get?
But the han army is different.
It'll take time, but the liao dong army will be tens of thousands.
A few hundred men aren't enough to fight against tens of thousands of han army.
Ju-mong.
Yes, your majesty.
Reality is different from what you think.
Why don't you disband the da-mul army and come back to buyeo?
I heard you were looking for me.
Have a seat.
Chief general.
What is it?
His majesty will tell ju-mong to disband the da-mul army and come back to buyeo.
It'll be great if ju-mong accepts his majesty's request.
But if he doesn't, you need to eliminate him.
Eliminate him?
You mean kill him?
That's right.
Prime minister, I think his majesty and prince ju-mong think alike.
Are you sure that's what his majesty wants?
If we leave ju-mong and the da-mul army be, they will be a stumbling block to buyeo.
The da-mul army is now the han's enemy.
As long as the da-mul army is around, we will be up against han.
We can fight han when we have power, but not now.
We are finally seeking peace after his majesty has been reinstated.
We can't let the da-mul army throw buyeo into chaos.
I know how highly you think of ju-mong.
But you're his majesty and buyeo's loyal subject.
You need to make a decision.
Your majesty.
The da-mul army is depending on me.
I can't leave them behind.
Ju-mong.
I once thought that your future was in seeking a new home with the refugees.
Because I had nothing to give you back then.
But things are different now.
I will give you everything.
Remember, you should fear king geum-wa more than prince dae-so.
Yeo mi-eul, what's wrong?
I feel a bad omen coming.
I, too, am worried that something might happen to general ju-mong.
I think yeo mi-eul needs to be more careful than general ju-mong.
What do you mean?
Is anyone trying to harm yeo mi-eul?
A cloud of death is hovering over yeo mi-eul.
Did you talk to his majesty?
Yes.
Have a seat.
I was sad that I didn't get to see you
because you were ill when I came to the buyeo palace last time.
I'm glad to see that you're well.
This is all thanks to soya.
No, it's not mother.
Thank you, my lady.
The baby's been kicking a lot lately.
I think the baby's going to be strong, just like you.
What's wrong?
Nothing.
Did you tell him to disband the da-mul army?
Yes.
Did he agree to do what your majesty say?
They trusted ju-mong with their dear lives.
It'll be hard to say goodbye after going through life and death with them.
More the reason for him to be apart from the da-mul army.
If the da-mul army comes with him, buyeo will be bearing the seed of disaster.
I don't know if ju-mong will do as I say.
Your majesty. Be strong.
It's you, not the da-mul army, who makes history for buyeo.
Yeo mi-eul is the reason why prince ju-mong cannot accept your request.
I will eliminate yeo mi-eul, since she's making him confused.
What's wrong?
Why do you look so distressed?
Nothing.
You looked distressed ever since you talked to his majesty.
You can tell me anything.
What is it?
His majesty has asked me to disband the da-mul army and come back to buyeo.
I know where his majesty is coming from, but he caught me off guard.
What are you going to do?
I don't know.
Ju-mong.
Yes?
I will stand by whichever decision you make.
But keep this in mind.
You did not leave buyeo in the first place for your safety alone.
You and the da-mul army are one now.
Leader! Leader!
What's all the commotion about?
Hurry!
Something has happened to yeo mi-eul!
What?
What happened?
Assassins broke in and took yeo mi-eul.
Assassins? From where?
How should I know?
Get the da-mul army to find where yeo mi eul is!
- Hurry! - Okay!
How can this happen when the general's away?
Shouldn't we report this to general ju-mong immediately?
You're right.
I'll go to buyeo.
- Cheers. - Cheers.
I think my best days as the royal guard were
when we fought against the han army as a detached troop.
You're right. It was one against a hundred.
A few dozen detached troops against hundreds of iron army and the han army.
That's hard to believe, knowing how you fight.
You're making me angry again.
Just kidding.
Your temper's terrible enough to fight one against a thousand.
Thank you for your warm welcome.
All we need to do now is for buyeo
and the da-mul army to join each other and attack the han.
What's the matter?
General heuk-chi is looking for you.
Very well. I'll be back.
Let's drink.
I heard you were looking for me.
What's the matter?
How are general ju-mong's companions doing?
They are drinking and getting some rest.
Good.
Watch what they're up to.
What?
Guard song-j...
Yes?
We might have to eliminate general ju-mong and his companions.
What do you mean?
Drink and be merry, minister of the left.
Welcome.
- You may be seated. - Yes
here you go.
Cheers.
Cheers!
General, how does it feel to see lady soya again?
Hey man.
You feel excited whenever you see someone.
I'm sure the general feels the same way.
Stop it.
Are you in love with a lady as well?
We have yet to find out if she's a lady or not.
Come on.
Stop it!
Come on, guys.
What did general heuk-chi want to talk to you about?
Nothing serious.
Let me pour you a drink.
I won't forget how you looked after his majesty and my mother.
How come the people in buyeo are so mean?
I've been starving for days.
That's not our biggest problem.
Why do you think ju-mong is in buyeo?
His majesty summoned ju-mong to be the crown prince,
after imprisoning dae-so.
But you're still alive.
That won't stop his majesty.
Ma-Jin.
Yes?
If ju-mong becomes the crown prince,
then there's no point in preserving my life this way.
I'm going back to the palace, even if it kills me.
- Let's go. - Your highness!
What?
Put yourself in my shoes.
I'm from han.
Since king geum-wa doesn't like han, he's going to kill me first.
You mean you're not coming with me?
I think you should go and see what's going on in the palace before I go in.
You're so selfish!
We're in this together!
Follow me!
Hurry up.
Prime minister.
What is it?
Yeon ta-bal, so seo-no, and gyehru have requested his majesty's audience.
Bring them to me first.
Yes.
I didn't know that general ju-mong was in buyeo.
I think king geum-wa summoned ju-mong after being reinstated.
If king geum-wa and general ju-mong work together,
they will do great things.
Good.
How have you been?
Good. Welcome.
Have a seat.
So, why do you want to meet his majesty?
I'm sure you know that gyehru has been doing nothing but business
ever since we've been disarmed.
Yes, I know.
In the past, our troop and buyeo were very close to each other,
thanks to his majesty.
We were.
I know that buyeo is having financial problems.
If you restore your relationship with us, I'm sure it'll benefit both gyehru and buyeo.
Prime minister, please let us have an audience with his majesty.
I will be grateful if I can restore my relationship with buyeo.
Very well. But his majesty is too busy right now.
I'll ask him when it's the right time.
Wait for my message outside the palace.
What's wrong?
Something's weird.
Weird?
I talked to the tax officer to meet king geum-wa.
But how come the prime minister stopped me?
I asked the tax officer to ask the king himself.
Sounds like the prime minister has all the power here.
Did you make a decision?
Yes.
I can't forsake the da-mul army.
If I come back to the buyeo palace, they will be scattered hopelessly.
That's not what you, me, or my father wants.
I'm not coming back to buyeo.
I agree.
I wonder how his majesty will take this?
He has no choice.
If you tell him how you really feel, he'll understand.
Stop right there!
You wretch!
Don't you recognize me?!
Your highness!
What's the matter?
Prince young-po is back in the palace.
Where is he?
He's on his way to see his majesty.
He's here.
You must've gone through a lot.
I should've found you first, but I didn't have the time.
Forgive me.
How's father doing?
I've been worried about him.
He's been well. Please don't worry.
Then I should go and give my regards to father.
Your highness young-po!
Thank you for your advice last time.
I'd like to say something to your highness as well.
"Be content with your rightful place." Do you know what that means?
It means that even if a rat should drink a lot of water,
it can only drink enough to fill its own small stomach.
Who knew this would happen to his royal highness dae-so?
I hope your highness won't act foolishly.
Maintain your dignity as a prince.
Let me escort you to his majesty.
Did he just compare me to a rat?
Yes.
Father.
I'm glad you're back alive and well.
Congratulations, father. I knew you'd be reinstated one day.
Remember, I've always wanted father to be reinstated.
Young-po.
Yes, father.
Buyeo is going through hard times right now.
Everyone must work together to bring stability to buyeo.
I will give you great duties.
I will do my best for buyeo and father.
What happened?
His majesty has been eagerly waiting for me to come back.
We should've known.
You went through that trouble for nothing.
Seems like his majesty wants to depend on me after kicking dae-so out.
Ju-mong.
Long time no see, young-po.
I've been meaning to talk to you. Let's go to my chamber for a drink.
Do you have something to tell me?
Of course I do!
Although his majesty has been reinstated,
it'll take time before we clean up the mess dae-so made.
Since you're back in buyeo, we should work together to help father.
I'll visit you after I talk to his majesty.
Sure. Go ahead.
Your majesty.
This is ju-mong.
Come in.
Have you made a decision?
Tell me.
Forgive me, but I can't forsake the da-mul army and the refugees.
There are refugees and da-mul army from all over the place in mt. Bon-gye.
I can't forsake them for my own safety.
Forgive me.
Your highness.
If your highness don't disband the da-mul army, you'll place his majesty in a bad spot.
You know that buyeo needs to maintain a good relationship with han
in order to bring stability.
His majesty has always favored your highness.
Disband the da-mul army and come back to buyeo.
His majesty will give you everything he has.
Ju-mong...
The da-mul army and the refugees did not gather for my sake.
They have gathered in order to get back at han for their long misery,
and build their own nation.
Father, for as long as I'm alive, I will drive out hyeon-to and nak-nang from this land
and establish a nation with the da-mul army.
I heard you were looking for me.
Chief general.
Yes?
It's time to take action.
You take that corner.
And you, take that corner.
Get ready.
It will be difficult if we haven't yet got a chance to meet with geum-wa.
Buyeo is going to be in chaos.
Do you think geum-wa will let that happen?
It will be hard for geum-wa to hold onto power.
Even though you want to convince geum-wa, it won't be an easy task.
There is no reason for us to be in buyeo, so let's go back.
He's right. Let's go back.
We just can't leave like this.
Since we are in buyeo, we have to meet with general ju-mong.
What are you doing in buyeo?
Because of what happened with geum-wa, is that why you are here?
You are foolish to believe that because of dae-so's actions, the relationship between biryu and buyeo has been destroyed.
I'm very powerful now, and that is why I have influence with buyeo.
What are you doing? Take them back to gyehru.
Yes.
Are you ready?!
Yes.
As soon as you hear the command, execute. We are the ambassadors of the king.
Yes.
We've come to buyeo because I have something to say to general ju-mong.
Can you please let us enter?
I haven't received that command. Go away!
Hey? Don't you know who I am?
I am mu-song... mu-song.
If you don't go away, I won't let you be.
Ahhh... I'm going crazy!
We're going back to mt. Bon-gye.
I'm going to say goodbye to my mother.
- Get ready to leave. - Yes.
Let's go.
Prince.
Get out of buyeo immediately.
What's the matter?
The prime minister has ordered to eliminate you.
You don't have much time.
Get out of here.
Let's get out of here.
Let's go.
Yes.
What's wrong?
If I leave now, I'll never see my mother and wife again.
That may be true, but you have to get out of here.
Prince.
Forgive me, but put your sword down.
Shut up!
Put your sword down.
General, we'll make an exit for you.
Get out of here.
Okay. We're all going to die here together.
Drop your sword.
General!
I said drop it!
Arrest them.
Yes.
Your majesty. This is song-j...
Come in.
Your majesty.
The prime minister and general heuk-chi are trying to kill prince ju-mong.
Your majesty. Don't.
Prime minister. What are you doing without my approval?
Your majesty, I'm trying to kill one man in order to save buyeo and the royal court.
Do you think killing ju-mong will disband the da-mul army?
They will always be a threat to buyeo in order to avenge his death.
Ju-mong is the only one who can disband the da-mul army.
We need to convince him.
Your majesty.
This is our last chance to eliminate him before he goes back to mt. Bon-gye.
How are you going to handle the pressure from han?
This is our last chance.
Please understand where we're coming from.
Please understand where we're coming from!
Why don't you go to mt. Bon-gye with ju-mong?
I'll stay by your side.
I'll go back and forth to mt. Bon-gye after the baby's born. Let me stay here for now.
Very well.
Your highness.
What's the matter?
Prince ju-mong has been arrested by soldiers.
Your majesty.
What's going on?
Calm down.
All the officers are trying to kill ju-mong
because he refused to disband the da-mul army.
How can they do that without your majesty's consent?
Unless ju-mong doesn't disband the da-mul army,
I can't stop them from killing him.
I will talk ju-mong out of it. Wait.
You won't convince him.
You know he won't change his mind.
If ju-mong does not change his mind,
then ju-mong and the da-mul army, are buyeo's enemies.
Your majesty!
Ju-mong...
Is this what you wanted your majesty?
Ju-mong...
Just do as I say.
Once buyeo overcomes this crisis, I will give you everything I have.
Your majesty has changed.
Even if your majesty give me your throne, I won't accept it.
The only thing I will succeed from you, is your majesty's will to fight against the han.
- Ju-mong. - Your majesty.
The da-mul army was your fellow men.
Please don't forsake them.
As long as I'm alive,
building a new nation with the da-mul army, is treason towards buyeo and me.
I'm trying to attack the han.
How can that be treason?
Commander hae mo-su will be mourning from heaven right now, your majesty!
Lock him up in the prison!
Yes.
Take them away.
Yes.
Did you see that?
You must eliminate him.
You must eliminate him right now if you don't want any regrets.
It's been a long time
jumong's fate...
Lies in the hands of yeo mi-eul
your highness, please forgive me
building a new nation with dae mool army...
Had been the dream of my father, haemosu
and it is my destiny...
To succeed his last ambition
there can be only one sun in the sky
not two
if you want to leave buyeo and build a new nation
this is as good as becoming buyeo's enemy
captain, you mustn't cave in
didn't you see the eclipse?
The sun of buyeo has disappeared
shut up, yeo mi-eul!
Heavens won't abandon captain and dae mool army
dae mool army, hurray!
Hurray...
