Episode 16

Defend the fortress
with all your might!

We're outnumbered, sir.

I can't die like this!

I can't die like this!

Light the beacon.

Whoever lights the beacon

will be freed and rewarded.

I will live, I will live.

I will survive.

I will live

to see you again.

I will not die

To throw away this guilt
that I couldn't save you.

I will live,
I will live to pay my debts!

We must retreat
There are rumors that

Baekjae's reinforcements are near
and more men are dropping out.

Give them the order.

The Shilla troops are retreating!
The Shilla troops are retreating!

You have done well!

This man is Bu Yeosun!

These people have saved us
Move them, the dead, too into the fortress.

Yes!

You willl be rewarded soon
Take a breath for now.

Is this... is this true?
Is this really ours?

Are we alive? For real?

I guess so
I guess we really are alive.

Yes, we are! We are alive!

Yes, we are alive! We are!

We're alive just like this!

Alive!

This... all this is ours!

This... all this is mine! Mine!

How can this be, how can this be

With this, I can buy my own land

and work until I have
blisters on my hands

With this, I can buy my wife clothes.

I was never able to afford.

I can dress her in silk.

- And my wife
- What's the matter?

What's it with you?

No wife
No wife to dress in silk.

No wife for me.

No wife? Why?

Carrying a sickle, I went to the bastard
who laid his hands on my wife.

But she was already dead.

It wasn't even her fault
but she died.

No wife, no wife.

Why live
What's the use of a thousand gold?

When there's no wife with me.

No wife at all!

I don't deserve to live.
A fool like me.

Why not?
Your wife saved you.

Never to go through that again
Being helpless.

She saved you and gave you the gold
Why shouldn't you live?

Live as you have never lived before!

Princess, I have lived.

I have lived to see you again.

But, I don't want to see you.

I don't want to see you as a man
who couldn't protect his princess.

I will not see you as such a man.

Never.

What is it?

One of them
just seems so familiar.

We will soon carry out an assault
on the Shilla station!

Huh?
But we don't have enough men.

In war, numbers mean nothing.

Yes, but...

Because of the prisoners
their spirits are high

and the men of Shilla have retreated,

We should strike first,
while their station is unsettled.

Besides, isn't Aja coming
with more men?

If I 'm a failed general,
I cannot face Aja's face.

Then... the plan?

Gather all the men
and all the prisoners!

Yes, sir!

Your courage and chivalry
have saved Baekjae.

Though I have promised
to reward you with gold.

These things are not to be done
by gold only.

Hear!

Learn the loyalty of those who fought,
risking their lives though they were prisoners!

Learn the spirit from the five who fought

against the many men of Shilla!

Then you will become invulnerable like them!

You will become the gods of victory!

By no means, we shall win!

Shilla retreated from their strong will
and the spirit of Shilla has fallen.

And now!
They are again willing to attack Shilla's station!

We will start to fight
when their fire attacks begin!

And, we will lead this war
into victory!

With these loyal invulnerable men,

we will become the heroes of this war!

Hand them out.

What's happening?
This isn't what they promised!

- This is crazy!
- Wait a sec!

This isn't right
We need to talk.

Yes, we barely survived
We can't go back there!

This is crazy! Let's get out of here!
We need to talk!

This isn't what you promised!

There is no promise to the weak!

If you want your promises to be kept,
be strong! Have power!

We can't go!

Then you shall die.

Wouldn't it be better to have
another chance to live?

You must have a reason to live
Or else you would've died already.

I just love your will to love.

It's such a wonderful weapon for me.

We are not weapons
We are people.

Just kill us!

Hold it.

Put them in prison.

Yes, sir!

I'm a hierarchy and you're only a slave birth,
not even a commoner

If I wanted to, I could get rid of you
easier than getting rid of an ant.

If I tell you to become a warrior,
you become one.

If I tell you to become a craftsman,
you become one.

If I tell you to love me,
you love me.

I am not a man who can do such things.

Then you die.

Even if I don't kill you, the world will.

Is it really like this?
Am I as weak as this?

Losing mother
and running away alone,

not being able to protect you princess was,

after all
because of me being so weak?

He will finish his duty soon and return,
we must hurry with your marriage.

What is it?

Someone from Naesung brought
an important secret

about the armor that Kokuryo asked Baekjae.

Why did you not give this to the king?

His majesty told me to give it to you

and he wants you to give Kim DoHam orders.

Princess! KimDoHam is at Naesung, now

The secret mission began with you, princess

and I wanted my last mission
ordered by you

and so I asked the King.

The secret ingredient
that Kokuryo wanted from Baekjae

wasn't alloy.

What? What is it then?

It wasn't a new alloy that made the armor.

A medicine that was sent
from Baekjae to Su was added.

A medicine?

That is what you need to find out.

The first attack on Juneusung failed
and became a dull offensive and defensive battle.

Lf, by any chance, Mok Rasoo makes the armor
and succeeds with Kokuryo.

It will mean trouble for Shilla.

So, you should make it,
and tell us first

And you also become a doctor.

You must finish his Majesty's secret mission.

I will take your orders,
but why are you treating me this way?

Did you think that I, my heart

would be yours by trading with the King?

Yes.

For what I gave the King
was my heart for you,

and my loyalty to Shilla.

So I thought I would be able
to earn your heart in return.

I still do not think I am wrong.

The King would not think I am wrong.

I came a long way just to give you this.

When I return
after I finish all my duties

I hope to see your hand
wearing my wedding ring

You! You!
Why are you always poking your head

in front of Eunjin?

- So what, dad!
- You little brat!

Your poor old dad is trying

to spend the rest of his life
happily with Ms Mojin.

Why do you keep interrupting?

Your poor son is trying to get a life, too!

At least you had mom.

Yes, but out of all the girls
why Eunjin?

There's Woosu and Juriyoung!

That's because I'm just like you.

You like the mother
I like the daughter.

You bastard
answering back every word I say!

Whatever, Whatever.

I have to push harder
while there's no one better looking than me.

Why you little...

I can't believe he's my son!
Now who did I give birth with?

We tried every kind of alloy that we could.

Perhaps they ordered us to make an armor

that doesn't even exist,
to refuse the crown prince's request?

Maybe.

An armor that shines the world,
that doesn't get rusty,

and that protects you
even from stomachaches...

Would there be such an armor?

I agree.

And they're accusing that it was

handed over to Su from Baekjae.

Now, were there any other metals in Surabul?

No, sir.

There's a list of the ingredients
that Baekjae gave to Su, right?

Yes, why?

I'd like to look it over again.

All right.

A medicine was added.

A medicine, a medicine...

Musk, Wild Ginseng, Sanghwang

Chunmokgeum

Chunmokgeum, Chunmokgeum!

What are you doing?

Oh, you're here.

What are you doing?

Painting.

Thinking that maybe they painted gold.

Right, painting.

If you paint on metal,
it won't rust.

Painting exterminate insects and vermins.

- And is also used as medicine
- Yes

But I can't find what makes the armor shine.

Do you, by any chance,
know a medicine called Chunmokgeum?

No, I don't think so.
Should I ask doctor?

Augh! Will you stop giving me
that ugly yellow thing?

It's not ugly.
It's something that only I can give you.

I mean it!
That's the point.

I don't want something that is so unique
I want things that

everyone thinks it precious,
things that are expensive!

- Come on.
- And so Bumro,

when it comes to how a man looks like
I like someone who everyone thinks

is handsome, not someone who's
handsome in their own particular way!

That kind of face! Do you get me?

Are you really going to be like this?

If you keep acting this way
I'm just going to...

What's going on?

Giroo, look at him!

Bumro!

What? I was only...

Hey! Where... where did you get this?

This? From Jang's hut

Where? Where is it?

This? But why?

Where?

Here
'I don't know the name of this tree,

it's not Juchil or Heukchil,

but I think it can be used like one
Color is gold.'

So I made a jewllery box
with my own way of painting for Eunjin.

Giroo! Giroo!

- What?
- That Chungeummok, that's Hwangchilsu

Hwangchilsu? Hwangchilsu? Then...

Juchil, Heukchil, Hwangchil!

I think we're right
Painting on metal

But, I've never heard of Hwangsuchil.

That's because they're rare,
and difficult to extract.

Which is why they were only used
for medicine.

Bumro! Where is the Hwangshil you extracted?

That? Way over there

Jang! Thank you
You have completed it all.

- This is it?
- Yes, this is it.

Run and give it to the princess.

- Yes!
- And tell her that my duty

is almost finished, too.

Yes!

If the soldiers wear this armor to war,

the enemies will be blinded by it.

You tell me!
The most important thing in war

is to mess up the order of the enemy,

and this will do the job
perfectly

Right, even my eyes are blinded.

Really, we didn't give it a thought
that Chungeummok would be used like that!

- We shouldn't have given them to Su
- That's what I mean

It's all my fault

I don't know what's growing in our gardens
and what their use is.

This is such a ridiculous situation.

It is a process for Baekjae
to increase its knowledge.

Don't be too hard on yourself.

Anyway, the Crown Prince
shall be pleased with Giroo.

No. It couldn't have been done
without the help of Woosu and Bumro.

I could not have done it alone.

Yes, and that makes me prouder.

Anyhow, Woosu and Bumro, Giroo
will receive more points!

And of course,
Giroo will become doctor for this!

Congratulations
When will I become doctor?

Have you thought about it?

First, thank you.

Thank you?

You have taught
a young and hot-tempered man

a very important lesson.

I have never felt so helpless in my life.

Why my mother had died,
why I had to run away to live,

why I couldn't love any woman,

and why I couldn't protect her,

why I had to live
with all these things dragging me,

I had always wondered.

But you have taught me today.

It was because I had no strength,
no power.

To do even the smallest thing I want,

I need power.

For a man like you to have power,
you need a master.

I will give you power.

Serve me!

No, not you.

Not you.

A man like you,
who makes people feel helpess and lost.

Can get weapons, but not people.

You cannot get people.

Though you have taught me
a great lesson.

Still, I cannot be your weapon.

This is why I came
To tell you this.

Kill me!

I have no regrets. Not anymore.

This is another thing
that I learned in prison,

Kill me!

Jang!

Are you not Jang?

Crown Prince!

I heard about the beacon
and came to reward you,

But what's this?
Was it not their will like the soldiers said?

It will not be late to wait for aid
and then settle the troops.

Why are you trying to carry out
such a reckless plan?

I am trying to use the opportunity
of the frustrating moment of retreat.

And it has been a successful plan
several times.

Breaking your promises
to the ones who saved your lives.

And telling lies to your own men
is what you call a successful plan?

Then, should I ask
if they are willing to die at war?

Should I persuade them to fight hard
though they can get killed?

Then, are you saying that the soldiers
believe in a lying, threatening general?

I'm not saying that the soldiers believe
in a lying, threatening general.

They do not believe in a failed general.

Then why was the fortress besieged?

If these prisoners did not light the beacon,

you would have been surrendered.

Yes, as I listen to your words

it seems that I have learned
war in the wrong way.

I shall learn from you, Crown Prince.

You be our general in this war.

I wiil be your adjutant.

But that one... you know...

Who?

The prisoner that Aja recognized.

I just remembered
When Aja was returning to the palace

he was the one who laid the ondol
for the king.

Really?

- He did?
- Yes.

Find out who he is.

Yes, sir.

What has happened?
Why are you here as a prisoner?

Has something gone wrong at Haneuljae?

No, Haneuljae is fine
I just left.

But why?

What happened?

I'm asking you what happened!

Forgive me
but I cannot tell you.

You what?
Tell me this instant!

I said tell me!

My Lord! Forgive me.

Fine, then let me ask you one thing.

Did you betray Haneuljae?

No, sir.

Then I will ask no more.

But be with me.

Your clever plans have saved me.

I had wanted to keep you by me,
but I respected you then.

But, now that we are in war

and after hearing about the beacon.

I think we were to meet
Stay with me.

You yourself is already a big comfort
to the soldiers.

Help me.

I really want to lead this war
to victory.

So you must help me.

I have no such power.

Allow me to leave.

What?

The turtle prophecy
that's his? The prisoner?

Yes, that's what I've heard.

The weak-willed and incapable Prince

can barely live because of such men.

Mokrasu was one of them,
and so was Wanggu

I should've just killed him.

I made another man for the Crown Prince!

I'm a soldier, too!
Give me some treatment, too!

I need medical treatment, too!

Why isn't anyone taking care of this soldier?

He's not hurt
He has had a boil ever since

It's just gotten at its worst.

Who cares if I already had it or not?
Shouldn't you be treating the sick?

There are soldiers everywhere
that need treatment right away

because they have been wounded
by arrows or spears.

You're just lying here everyday,
not fighting in war!

I don't have time for you.

What are you talking about?

I'm not here because I want to!

I'm not fighting because I can't!
Doctor!

Let me see.

Hoestly, it's killing me.

It's not like I want to be sick or anything.

My Lord! Crown Prince!

- My Lord!
- My Lord!

My Lord!

At a time like this,
how can a Prince

be doing such things?

Why did the heavens choose Aja,

who can't fight,
who can't rule,

to be Crown Prince? Why not me!

If things would work out between
Kokuryo even now...

No news have been heard
from Haneuljae yet.

How many men do we have?

We lost a lot of men from the first battle
We have only about a thousand left.

- How about Shilla?
- At least twice as many.

- And the weapons?
- We used all the arrows

in defending the fortress.

We're bringing in bamboos from nearby

and making them into arrows
as fast as possible.

What is it?

Though you are the general,

all the army officials
are the adjutant's men.

They are not eager to carry even the bamboo.

- My Lord!
- What is it?

- The people from Haneuljae have come!
- Really? Let's go

- Doctor Mokrasu have sent you?
- Yes

Really?
Where is the Myoungkwangae armor?

This is the armor.

Good! Good!

Now we can negotiate with Kokuryo!

Baekmu, get ready
and contact the Kokuryo envoy.

Yes.

Tell Mokrasu that I will greatly reward him.

Yes.

But, what has happened to Jang?

Huh? Jang?

- He is here.
- What?

How did Jang end up here?

He told me he flew from the Shilla soldiers

Well, it's hard to tell the truth...

Don't worry, tell me.

Actually, he fell in love
with a high ranking woman of Shilla.

What? He met a Shilla woman?
Is that true?

Yes.

Use me, sir.

You said you'd leave
What changed your mind?

When I saw you sucking the blood
of the sick soldier

And the mother of the soldier cried.

Saying that her son will probably die
if you only ordered.

Asking what she should do.

You, Crown Prince, will surely

have many die for you.

I will also die for you.

But, my Lord!
I wish that you would dream what I dream.

Dream what you dream?
What dream?

Unify the three countries!

I've heard that you left Haneuljae
only because of a woman,

Are you saying that you will serve me
only because of that woman?

And that you are dreaming such a dream
only because of that woman?

Yes, my Lord! I dream such a dream
only because of her.

Because dreams are born from people.

If your parents die of an illness
while you're young

You dream of becoming a doctor.

If your life changes because of a
great teacher, you dream of becoming one.

So please, when you become king
dream the unification.

Of the three countries with me!

All right. I will formerly appoint you
as my commander.

I will do it.

I will take the armor and talk with Kokuryo.

Do you meant it?

Yes, my Lord,
I will do it.

Planning diplomatic matters with the armor
was something I started,

I will also finish it.

Trust me
I am not a little princess anymore.

All right.

You're not going? Are you mad?
Fool! You must be crazy!

After all you've been through
and you're not going?

And all this time
I thought you were my friend...

So, you have found your master?

Yes, so please
Think of our friendship, and help me.

What now?

We are a comfort to the soldiers, anyhow.

Just go around and tell them
how we lived

and hoe the Crown Prince
kept his promises

That's all you have to do.

Just talk to them.

That's it?

Yes.

So we don't have to
go fighting anymore, right?

Yes.

You really drive me crazy,
do you know that?

Please. Just this once.

So we were on our horses, riding by

and the men of Shilla started barking
as if they were dogs!

Woof, woof and yip, yap!

Anyway, the adjutant was going to
break his promise with us

but the Crown Prince said that
promises to prisoners are still promises.

And let us go!
Tears blinded my eyes

and snivel ran like a river.

Right! And the Prince even sucked the blood
of a soldier's boil!

Yes!

How is it all going?

As expected,
the soldiers' trust and loyalty to you have risen.

But we have very few men
compared to Shilla.

And our weapons are poor.

The arrows are only a few
due to our first battle

It's in a bad state.

Did you not bring some more?

It's because of Buyeosun.

Buyeosun's duty was to protect this fortress

and he did all his duty

so he doesn't need to fight for me
He won't.

All the nearby powerful families are
on Buyeosun's side.

I sent a messenger to the palace,

but even Tehaksa seems to be in
Buyeosun's hands.

This is why I must win.

The reason why they made me
general in the first place

was to make me responsible for
any kind of defeat.

If that happens,
I will lose even the smallest power

that you have earned for me
with your clever plans.

We have to win.

So what are their plans?

According to the officials
forget the plans

they don't even seem to know
what's going on.

No doubt
Didn't the Crown Prince always

go for diplomacy to Japan and Su?
He avoided war.

He seems to be at a loss.

We're short in everything.

True, and we lost our chance to attack first.

If he was a warrior who knew how to fight.

He would have attacked at that time.

If I were him, I will not attack now.

- Did you not go?
- We did go, but...

All the houses around here
already had sons in the army.

They were all crying
and we just couldn't pass by

And they called us Beacon Heroes
and asked us for help.

He was never called a hero in his life
so when he heard the word.

He just had to go inside.

But how is the situation?

Everything is in poor condition.

Even Buyeosun, who is on our side
will not cooperate.

He's really awful
Look at what he did to us!

I mean really, if it wasn't for the Prince,

we wouldn't even be alive, you know!

Don't you agree, captain?

I thought you said you hated
all high ranking people.

Yes, but...

Hey, but what kind of captain are you?

What are you talking about?

Everyone calls you captain
so I did, too.

But what kind of captain are you?

I'm a sea captain, you idiot.

Anyway do you what the situation
of our enemy is like?

Not really.

To fight without knowing about our enemy
This can't be done.

Baekmu!
How did things go with Kokuryo?

What's wrong? Things didn't work out
even with the armor?

With due respect I am sorry to say
that we were a step too late

Late?

It seems that Kokuryo asked the same thing
to Shilla.

- And?
- Shilla seems to have made the

armor before us.

Crown Prince!

I will enter the enemies' station.

What?

I have heard that it is important
to know the situation of the enemy

as it is important to know ours.

So I will go and see
how many men and weapons they have,

and how their food and water are supplied.

Of course, it's important
but that is too dangerous.

It's all right
Just get me a Shilla soldier's uniform.

I will look for the weapons
Captain, look for the food and water supplies.

And you, check the number of men

What?

- I'm sorry.
- Hey!

Yes?

You look like you have energy leftover
roaming around, not in bed.

Let's go check the weapons.

- The weapons?
- Yes.

Some weapons are to come during the night,
and we need some men. Let's go!

- Yes
- Follow me!

Plenty. Good.

Carry them.

- Hey! What are you doing?
- Huh?

We don't have time!

- Hey!
- Yes?

You, take this tea to the general!

Uh, which general...

You idiot!
General Wesong, of course!

Uh, I'm not sure...

Stupid kid! Still a newcomer!
That tent over there!

Yes.

The situation is in our favour.

His majesty told me to succeed in
taking the farmlands here.

He told me to send more weapons here.

Your tea, general.

Go tell the adjutant to come!

Yes.

You! Come here!

What?

Who are you?

Hey! You! Stop there! Stop!

So? How was it?

There seems to be about 2000 men.

And their food and weapon supplies
kept coming in

though they didn't seem to really need it.

They especially had a lot of arrows.

Which means that there are many
well-trained, old soldiers.

Defending the fortress won't be a problem
but attacking first

will be a war decided by the old soldiers.

The chances are against us.

It will be better not to fight.

If I return like this to the palace,
I will be in the same position as before.

Even if it takes a long time,
I'm going to wait for the weapons to arrive!

I will win this war!

And you?

I will fight.

Are you planning to shoot straws
instead of arrows?

It's an impossible situation for an
unexperienced commander, give up.

No, I will see the end of this
whether I win or lose.

I see.

I have heard the news.

Yes, your majesty!
I finished my task without any difficulty.

Yes, I knew you would do well

Though I was worried,
for you are still young.

But because of that I heard you,

scolded the envoy of Kokuryo
trying to break the alliance

and I was very proud.

Thank you my gracious Lord.

You have courage that not even
Princess Chunmyung or Princess Dukman has!

Now winning the war is the only thing left
Winning the war.

Yes.

Sir!

- What is it?
- The Prince Crown's army

used the fog and the straw sheaves

and collected all the arrows of Shilla.

What! How?

The ravine where we were attacked.

It's always covered in fog.

They pretended to attack
and because of the fog arrows were used.

But there were only straw sheaves there!

Yes.

Now Shilla has lost its arrows
and Baekjae got them,

The attack has already begun!

I have lost!

Crown Prince, you have done very well.

Your majesty!
I have won in war.

I have taken the land
all the way to Shilla Fortress!

You have been clever!

I received the message
that your weapons were burnt

and so I was worried.

How did you manage to win before
the weapons were sent from the palace?

There was a loyal friend who helped me.

Who?

This is he.

You...

Yes, your majesty,
this is he who laid the ondol

when you were sick.

And he helped you in war?

Yes, he deserves the most credit
for the victory of this war.

He is also the one who lit the beacon
during the first battle.

He is the one who saved the fortress.

Is that so?

It was his plan to win this war

though we had no weapons.

How was that possible?

The place we fought is a ravine
always covered in fog.

In the first battle, that was where
we were attacked.

But he used the fog and straw sheaves

carried out a remarkable plan
and brought victory.

Lift your head.

You have been a great help
in this war.

What is your name?

I am called Jang.

Jang.

I will greatly reward you.
Tell me what you would like.

I will give you anything
Just tell me

I am, really, a man who studies
the principles of nature.

There is someone
who has taught me all this.

I would like to be near him.

Who is he?

He is doctor Mokrasu
who was the head of Tehaksa.

Please bring doctor Mokrasu
and the people of Haneuljae

from Shilla to Beakjae's Tehaksa!

Please bring back the doctor
and the people of Haneuljae

bask to this palace!

Bring the people of Haneuljae here!

How do you know the doctor?

I am his disciple
and a member of Haneuljae.

After the doctor was wrongly accused
and sent to Shilla,

He did not go to Shilla
and still remains faithful to you, my Lord.

And so I respect him and I believe

that a man like him should be near
you and Baekjae, for the country's sake.

But your majesty!
Mokrasu was accused of conspiracy!

That old bronze censer story?

Yes, Crown Prince!
Do you need it to be repeated?

A birth mistaken!
Burns incense alone

He who burns it alone becomes king

The king will rebuild Baekjae
And receive all the glory

How dare anyone say such things
about the king's position?

How dare anyone make a bronze censer

with such a writing?

You're right, your majesty!
This is a conspiracy.

It is, if the doctor had really made it.

But did he?

It was found in his room...

We don't know if the doctor
made it or someone put it there?

All I'm asking is
did we go through all the right procedures?

No, my Lord!
We just assumed everything.

We did not!
He ran away from guilt!

Well then let's bring him back!

Though, it is not the same request as Jang

I believe we should distinguish between
right and wrong.

So let's bring them back here!

Please bring them back, your majesty!

Your distribution
and will saved Baekjae.

We start our attack on the fog attack.

And I'll lead this war for the victory.

I'll give you power, obey me.

It's not you, general.

I can't obey the man
who gives impotence and loss to people.

That kind of man can get weapons,

But you can't get man.

I don't have any regret at all.

Kill me.

Jang!

I'll go into enemy's base.

They used fog to steal

Silla's arrows by rice straw.

Now, Silla lost their arrows
and Baekjae gained them.

Attack is already started.

I lost it!

Dr. Mok and Haneuljae
were abandoned to Silla,

Please return them to the palace!

Dr. Mok has false charge
and after he was thrown away,

He hasn't naturalized to Silla
and still look towards you, lord.

So I admire him.

I think he must be next to you.

That's the way for Baekjae.

But lord! Mok Rasoo has done treason!

Are you trying to
show us bronze censer, again?

Who can argue pro
and con about the position of king,

Who can make the bronze censer

With that engraved pendant?

If he made it,
it's definite treason.

But did he actually make that?

But it was found at his workshop...

Whether he made it
or someone put it there,

Did you actually follow
the procedure when asking?

So, let's bring him in!

I think it's right time to find out
what really happened.

So bring him in.

Please bring him in, lord.

Let's think about that.
