BASED ON THE KINGDOM OF THE GODS BY YLAB

THE JAPANESE INVASION LEFT
THE SOUTHERN LANDS OF JOSEON IN RUINS.

AND NOW ANOTHER STORM WAS LOOMING
IN THE NORTHERN LANDS OF JOSEON.

THE JURCHENS ACROSS THE MANCHURIAN PLAIN
NORTH OF THE AMNOK RIVER

STARTED GATHERING AT THE BASIN
OF THE PAJEO RIVER

UNDER THE FLAG
OF THE VICIOUS, POWERFUL PAJEOWI.

WHEN 10,000 JURCHENS GATHER,
NO ARMY IN THE WORLD CAN DEFEAT THEM.

FEELING THREATENED
BY THE PAJEOWI'S SUSPICIOUS MOVE,

WARRIORS OF JOSEON
SCOUTED ANOTHER GROUP OF THE JURCHENS

IN ORDER TO KEEP THEM IN CHECK.

THEY WERE JURCHENS LIVING IN JOSEON
CALLED SEONGJEOYAIN.

SINCE THEY HAD LIVED IN JOSEON
FOR OVER A CENTURY,

THEY WERE NEITHER CONSIDERED JURCHENS

NOR ACCEPTED BY THE PEOPLE OF JOSEON
AS THEIR OWN

AND WERE SHUNNED BY ALL.

THIS PLANT BRINGS THE DEAD BACK TO LIFE�
BUT YOU MUST PAY THE PRICE

JURCHEN
JOSEON, HANYANG

PAJEOWI, BOUNDARY VILLAGE, PYESA-GUN

PYESA-GUN

What's that?

CITADEL OF MANPO

Isn't he the deputy commander
of the Chupajin troops?

Don't tell me
there's another debacle coming.

I suppose the rumors are true.

What rumors?

Well�

I heard some Jurchens went into Pyesa-gun
to get wild ginseng

and were all killed.

What? It's against the law
to enter Pyesa-gun.

I can't believe such a horrible thing
happened there.

I heard something scary lives there.

I heard none of those wild ginseng hunters
came back out alive.

No one has been allowed to enter
for the past 100 years.

Who knows if some vicious monster
lives there?

They all have the same tattoo.

They're Pajeowi Jurchens.

The word has already spread.

It's only a matter of time
before the Pajeowi find out.

What should we do?

Let's go to the boundary village.

Do not look.

Animal blood and innards
are for the lowborn.

There. It's ready.

Remove your filthy hands.

Let's go.

Hey!

Let's have some meat!

BOUNDARY VILLAGE

A VILLAGE
WHERE THE JURCHENS IN JOSEON LIVE

This is good.

It tastes amazing.

It's great!

How long has it been
since we last had meat?

It's Ashin!

Ashin!

Come, Ashin. Let's eat.

Do you want some more?

It's good, isn't it?

Hey! How dare you?

Give it back.

-Hey--
-I'm sorry.

I told you not to go to Pyesa-gun!

But you said
it's not actually dangerous there.

You told me yourself that people
in high places spread false rumors

so they could take all the wild ginseng.

That's why you should never go there.

Soldiers are more dangerous than monsters.

Then what do we do?

Just let Mom die?

They say the wild ginseng there
can even bring back the dead--

You're not a ginseng hunter.

How will you find wild ginseng
in that huge mountain?

I'm not sure if it was wild ginseng,
but I saw a strange plant.

It was drawn on a mural
at an abandoned shrine.

It says it can bring back the dead.

Nonsense.

There are no shrines left in that area.

-But I saw it--
-Stop talking nonsense.

Listen to me and do not go there.

Those who sneaked in there and got caught

had their tongues cut out.

I can never let that happen to you.

I was planning to travel to Chupajin

to offer these gifts to you, my lord.

Fifteen Pajeowi Jurchens
who went into Pyesa-gun

to hunt wild ginseng were all found dead.

Are you sure
they are the Pajeowi Jurchens?

But who would do something like that?

A tiger.

You will have to cross the river.

Go spread the word
that all the Pajeowi Jurchens

were killed by a tiger.

Understood, my lord.

When will my village

receive an official government position?

We are aware of your loyalty.

Be patient and wait.

Good news will come.

We�re heading out. Get ready.

JOSEON MILITARY CAMP, CHUPAJIN

We have brought all the corpses
found in Pyesa-gun as you ordered, sir.

We've verified that the limbs were torn
by wild animals,

but it happened postmortem.

It wasn't a tiger.

They were killed by humans.

I am aware.

If 10,000 Jurchens gather�

a great danger will befall us.

Hold out a hand,
and you shall receive help.

Pull out a knife, and you shall be slain.

While Joseon was floundering in chaos
during the Japanese invasion,

Aidagan, the head of the Pajeowi,

has gathered the Jurchens under his wing.

The Japanese in the south
are preparing another attack.

If the Pajeowi in the north use this
as a reason to invade us as well,

what will happen to this country?

We can never let them know
their men were killed by our people.

They were attacked�

by a tiger.

The deputy commander
from Chupajin is here.

Let him in.

Have a drink, my lord

What brings you here at this hour?

We found 15 dead Pajeowi Jurchens.

Are you certain there were 15 of them?

Why? Did I get the number wrong?

I heard you went hunting
in the Birch Pass two days ago.

Since when�

do I need your permission to go hunting?

Pajeowi Jurchens receive
martial arts training from an early age.

It is near impossible to take down
15 of them at once.

Unless it was you and your elite guards
who did it.

You'd better discipline your men
before someone else finds out.

Those Jurchen rats�

dared to steal
the Haewon Cho Clan's wild ginseng.

They all deserved to die.

You should have captured and punished them
according to the law.

And the Haewon Cho Clan
does not own those wild ginseng.

They belong to His Majesty the King.

Do you think you can insult me
and my family like this

just because I am stuck

in the boondocks now?

You abandoned the people
and fled during the war.

That is why you're here.

If you endanger this country once again,

you will not be able to
avoid the consequences�

even if you are from the Haewon Cho Clan.

The people are growing anxious,

so I will begin a tiger hunt to calm them.

I advise you to stay put
and stay out of trouble.

This is a warning.

AMNOK RIVER, BORDER AREA

BOUNDARY VILLAGE

Are you sure it was a tiger?

The Pajeowi learn martial arts
as soon as they can walk.

How can a single tiger kill them all?

If it's a lie,

it'll rub them the wrong way.

It might put you in danger, Father.

Being undercover

is always dangerous.

Look after the family while I'm gone.

All right, then.

Let's just cross the river
and go back to our clan.

You let them take
all your hard-earned pelts

and even risk your life
to go undercover for them.

Will you let them walk all over you
forever?

Pyesa-gun. Our ancestors lived there.

The King of Joseon
bestowed the land upon our clan,

who was battling hunger and thieves
on the barren field

on the other side of the river.

The King also offered us a public office

and exempted us from paying taxes.

Joseon was gracious to us.

Hence, I cannot betray Joseon.

They may have been gracious
to our ancestors,

but they took back everything
they had given us.

Hang in there just a little longer.

Soon, I will officially be appointed
and we'll be able to live a good life.

I think we should call for a doctor.

You know very well

that no doctor would come here.

Then what do we do?

Stay with Mom until I come back.

Ashin! Hurry back!

JURCHEN VILLAGE, NORTH OF AMNOK RIVER

Far past the Amnok River

is Mount Baekdu,
Joseon's highest mountain.

It's so huge that you'll find
all kinds of trees and animals.

The most famous one among them

is the tiger.

They say that
this tiger is 1,000 years old.

Sometimes,
it even transforms into a human.

Lies!

No, it's true!

Over 1,000 men have gone into the mountain
to catch the tiger, but they all died.

Even the Pajeowi Jurchens
who climbed the Birch Pass recently

all got eaten by that tiger.

Is that true?

It sure is.

I saw it with my own two eyes.

You'd better be telling the truth.

If you're spreading false rumors,

you will die.

PYESA-GUN

THIS PLANT BRINGS THE DEAD BACK TO LIFE�

BUT YOU MUST PAY THE PRICE

Our hunt will take place
in the Birch Pass.

We will begin the hunt in these two areas.

The Chupajin soldiers will spread out,

guard the trails, and go after them.

We'll lure them out�

to here.

You want to lure them out to Pyesa-gun.

Do not forget.

We will only pretend to hunt them.

When hunting a tiger,

you should not go too slow or too fast.

If we're too fast,

it might end up attacking us.

All right. Let's go!

Let's go!

Begin!

Get a move on!

It's a tiger's paw print.

It's odd though.

Tigers hate the sound of gongs,
so they usually move away from it,

but not this one.

What do you mean?

It's moving towards the hunters.

It's a tiger.

It's not a tiger�

It's a monster.

Tell the hunters to fall back.

We'll take it from here.

Retreat!

-Move it!
-Retreat!

It's the Pajeowi. Stop them!

Sir!

How bizarre.

It was already dead.

How is this possible?

Here's what's really bizarre.

We were told that our brothers
were killed by a tiger.

Then where are their flesh and bones?

They crossed the borders
and entered Pyesa-gun,

which is against the law.

There is no reason for us
to be held responsible for their deaths.

Our brothers died on Joseon soil.

Brace yourselves for a bloody revenge.

Ashin?

Fire!

JOSEON MILITARY CAMP, CHUPAJIN

I heard about the tragic massacre
in your village.

Are you the only one who survived?

What happened to your father?

I heard the Pajeowi�

have executed a spy from Joseon.

Did you cross the river
and go all the way there?

I do not get it.

Why would the Pajeowi do this to us?

I have been racking my brain,
but I really do not get it.

Have you come to see me to find out why?

No.

That is not important.

Please avenge my father's death.

A lowborn weakling like me cannot do it.

But Joseon is a strong country

and has the power to punish them.

I am sorry for your loss,

but this is not a matter
Joseon can intervene in.

My father�

was loyal to Joseon all his life.

Although you could not
have him appointed officially�

you could at least do this for him.

It doesn't have to be right away.

Next year� No, the following year�

or even a decade or two later.

Make them shed tears of blood�

then I will make peace with it.

I will do anything.

I will be your spy

or even work as a butcher
if you tell me to.

I will gladly do anything
even if it's something worse than that.

Please avenge my father's death.

Take this child.

It looks like a Jurchen girl.

This is where you will stay.

I heard she is a survivor
from the boundary village.

That tenacious little wench.

I heard she buried all the bodies
by herself.

PAJEOWI MILITARY CAMP

-Hey.
-What?

What are you looking at?

Ashin.

Get out.

Do you think

you can survive here�

after killing a Joseon soldier?

I guess you're too big to fit in here now.

Good job.

MESSENGER

It's an urgent message!

The peace conference with the Japanese
was called off?

Yes, sir.

His Majesty has ordered every troop

to assemble in the south
except those in Uiju and Kanggye.

We will leave a few soldiers behind
and prepare for battle.

Yes, sir.

But keep a close watch
on the Pajeowi's every move.

Yes, sir.

Sir.

What atrocity is this?

Please forgive me.

If this happens again,

I will not let it go unpunished.

I will remember that, sir.

I need you to cross the river again.

You need to find out in detail
what the Pajeowi are up to.

PAJEOWI MAIN MILITARY BASE

Open your mouth.

Open up.

You should live a long life.

SPY WHO BETRAYED HIS OWN TRIBE

Dad�

Dad, it's me.

Dad�

It's me, Dad�

Please�

Kill me�

Dad.

Dad, let's�

Let's go home.

It's okay.

Everything will be okay, so let's go home.

Let's go back together.

Kill me.

No more�

Just kill me.

Let's go back.

Please�

Kill me now.

Ashin.

Ashin.

COMMANDER'S OFFICE, CHUPAJIN

Ashin?

Some Pajeowi Jurchens sneaked
into Pyesa-gun to steal ginseng.

All of them were attacked and killed.

A war with Pajeowi Jurchens
seemed imminent due to growing tensions,

but we wiped out a seongjeoyain village

and managed to prevent such a disaster.

Our brothers died on Joseon soil.

Brace yourselves for a bloody revenge.

Stop.

Even if you kill us now,

our brothers will come after you.

And you'll have a bigger price to pay.

You are right.

Your brothers were not killed by a tiger.

They were attacked.

We found this

where your brothers were killed.

Have you come to see me to find out why?

Please avenge my father's death.

Look after the family while I'm gone.

Ashin.

Ashin.

What is this flower?

What is that?

Beats me.

What's this? Help him up.

Help! Help me.

What the hell?

Gosh, it's cold.

It's so cold.

Is he dead?

Wait�

What the�

Get away from me!

Close the door! Hurry!

Is he dead?

What is that?

Get away from me!

Ashin�

Help me, Ashin.

No�

Ashin! What are you doing?

No, please! Don't kill me!

Ashin!

Ashin.

Don't kill me.

I'm sorry for everything.

Please spare me.

Ashin, you're back!

Yes.

I'm back.

You didn't eat anything again.

I told you that you have to eat.

I don't think I took proper care of you
all this time.

Pheasants, deer, rabbits�

That's not what you wanted, after all.

From now on�

I'll provide you
with only delicious meals.

Ashin!

Ashin!

Ashin!

Ashin, no!

Ashin!

How is it?

I am not lonely.

We are together, so I am not lonely.

When my job here is done,

after I kill every living thing
on Joseon and Jurchen soil,

I will join you.

JOSEON BORDER, UIJU

I heard the Japanese
attacked the south again.

What if they come all the way up here?

I heard the envoys left
to request help from the Great Empire.

If they help us,
we won't be overrun like last time.

The envoys are here!

Can this plant�

PHYSICIAN LEE SEUNG-HUI

�really bring back the dead?

Yes, that is correct.

Before the nervous system rots,

mash the plant and put it
on an acupuncture needle�

and pierce the needle one pun deep
into the glabellar.

And the corpse will come back to life
in two hours.
