What are you suggesting?
How can you...?

Isn't it true? Who knows Kim Jun
and Songi better than us?

But, sir, you can't mean it.

- Her Grace is...
- I know.

She's Kim Yakson's wife, mother-in-law
to the crown prince.

Then how...?

She told me she plans to divorce him.

I condemned her at first,
but then I realized my own mistake.

Didn't I force her into this marriage
for the future of the Guard Corps?

- Even so...
- I know, I know.

What will others say?
Never mind Kim Yakson.

And their poor children.

But, reality is harsh.
I have to make a decision.

Sit down.

Being ill gave me time to think.

I needed to watch my health.

I gave Kim Yakson one last chance.

To no avail.

The biggest problem is the danger
to the Guard Corps and to Koryo.

- Perhaps, but...
- The fact is...

I've been better for a while now.

But, I couldn't find an answer.

I need someone
who can face reality.

Power is a double-edged sword.

A blessing in the hands of a master,
dangerous in the hands of a child.

What would you do?

There's still time.
You need to fully recover.

You can use the time
to think it over.

But not Kim Jun.

Even if you insist...

Koryo society won't stand for it.

My father seized power from Yi Uimin.

That's true, of course.
He had his own Guard Corps.

Exactly.
Yet, he was an illegitimate child.

But those were dark days.
And he ended up assassinated.

Give Kim Yakson another chance.

A man must be equal to his times.

In times of peace, Kim Yakson
would be fine.

But he's not equal to our
troubled times.

Well, I just wanted to kick this around.

Keep Kim Jun involved for now.

For now.

Yes, sir.

Oh, Yangbaek, look at this.

Yi Kongju's rangers wiped out all of
Tanggu's provisions near Jipyong.

Including their munitions.

Really? Excellent news.
That's Yi Kongju for you.

There's more.

Our rangers joined up
with the local militia...

and scored a victory against
the Mongols.

But the Mongols continue
to march south.

We have reports that they've
reached Cholla Province.

I read them.

Cholla always was rebellious.
The Mongols there have me worried.

Well...

By the way, the Overlord called
on Pak Songbi last night.

They spoke for quite a while,
I was surprised.

He didn't look sick at all.

Did you know?

I suspected.

Oh, I see.
Well, that's that, then.

I have some bad news.

About Anshim...

What is it?

The Overlord ordered her family
brought here from Taegu.

And?

They were killed in the last
Mongol attack.

Her whole family.

What?

The entire area was razed.

Even the magistrate's office.

No...

What will happen to Anshim?

Fate is fickle.

It's terrible, but if this happened sooner,
she wouldn't be here with us now.

No, no...

Easy, Kim Jun.

You're tempting fate here.
It's in your eyes.

Your concern will get you into trouble.

Take my advice.

She belongs to the Overlord now.

Alright?

Wonderful...

Delicious.

- Another.
- Never mind.

Oh my, Buddha has
answered our prayers.

Sitting up and everything.

Didn't I say it was just a cold?

But, you know how worried I was.

People were offering prayers for your
recovery in temples all over the country.

Were they?

My son was very worried.

Yes, yes, he's a fine boy.

Oh, that fortuneteller of yours,
what was his name?

You mean Ju Yonji?

Yes, right, Ju Yonji,
right, right.

Why do you ask?

Just wondering.
He's insightful, that one.

Attention!

- Overlord, Chamberlain Kim.
- Send him in.

I was pleased to hear the patrols
are making progress.

Didn't I say 1 ranger is worth
100 Mongols?

Yes, sir.

You have something to report?

We have intelligence from
the Taegu area.

About Anshim.

Oh, right. Her family?

They were slaughtered by the
Mongols on their southern march.

No! How awful.

It's been confirmed?

They had your orders.
They would have been sure.

Terrible. I see.

This war hurts all our people,
it's inevitable.

Anshim will be devastated.

Anything else?

Yes. Yi Kongju's rangers burned
the Mongol's provisions.

Their southern march as been
significantly impeded.

That's Yi Kongju for you.

But they reached Fort Jukju.
The South and...

North Armies are encamped together.

Jukju. Then they'll have to
pass Chungju?

Yes, sir.

Who's the commander there?

Song Munju.
We served together at Fort Kwiju.

Good. And...?

The Mongols have sent a Cholla
detachment on to Namwon.

Really?

As far as that?

You said it's a detachment.
It can't be too large.

Our rangers should be able to stop them.

Yes, sir.

I should note that Baekje revivalists
are gaining strength in Naju.

We can't afford rebellion.

Baekje revivalists? Baekje morons.

The three kingdoms have been
unified for 300 years.

Reviving the Baekje Kingdom?

Stop them.

Yes, sir.

Sir, word from the Guard Corps.

You're to march to Naju and put
down the rebellion.

I can't, not with the rebels
here as well.

What about their local militia?

The Mongols are riding to Namwon.

They have to be stopped somehow.

What few men we have are
dealing with them.

But our numbers are significantly
increased if we include the rebels.

They numbered in the hundreds
but now they have over a thousand.

People are joining them from all over
the Mt. Keumsong Fortress area.

Really?

It's this war.
People are starving, furious.

More than a few officials
have joined up.

I doubt going there will do much good.
We can't stop it.

What else can I do?
I have my orders.

I have to go.

Get ready. We ride for Naju.

Fort Jukju, sir.

I see. We suffered a heavy
loss at Jipyong.

So we sent a punitive
detachment south.

And now we'll take Fort Jukju.

- To guard our rear flank.
- Yes, sir.

You ordered them to surrender?

Yes, a few times,
but they won't budge.

Then we have no choice.

We attack.

- Putau, I expect another victory.
- Yes, sir.

- Prepare to attack!
- Prepare to attack!

Catapults, cavalry and archers.

Catapults forward!

I know Mongol tactics better
than anyone.

I saw enough of them at Fort Kwiju.

First the catapults.
Then the archers and the cavalry.

But they don't know we have
our own catapults.

Hold your fire until they draw in close.

- Understood?
- Yes, sir.

It's a puny little fort.

A catapult barrage, followed by cavalry,
archers and infantry.

- Battle stations!
- Battle stations! Catapults!

What the...?
Where did those come from?

- The fort, sir.
- The fort?

They have catapults?

Fire...!

Well? Form ranks!

Fire! Attack!

Hold your positions!
Don't panic! Attack!

Look at them run!

Don't let up. Keep firing!

Fire!

Forward!

Now. Don't let up.
Oil! Hot oil!

Don't panic!
There's nothing to fear!

No...no...what is this?

Who is their commander?
Hiding catapults?

It's Song Munju.

He was at Kwiju with Kim Kyongson.
A nasty piece of work.

Kwiju? Ft. Kwiju?

Yes, sir. Kwiju's Commander
Pak hails from Jukju.

I see, a whole province of them.

Just the name Kwiju makes
me want to puke.

He was there?

This is turning into another Jipyong.

This siege won't be easy, oh, no.

We've lost the initiative.

And too many men. Fall back.

Fall back!

Fort Jukju held fast?

Yes, sir.

The best generals come
from great superiors.

Song Munju was a colonel,
wasn't he?

Yes, sir.

His first battle and he inflicted
heavy damages.

And forced the enemy to
retreat 50 miles.

Fifty? Excellent.

Just the news we needed.

Yes, sir.

It's been ten days now,
but they are still fighting.

But, it's not all good news.

Choe Chunmyong at Fort Jaju.

His men and the civilians held out
for nearly a fortnight.

Then, the Mongols slaughtered them.

Anything else?

Sir. Kim Kyongson has left for Naju.

But his handful of men stand little
chance against the insurgents.

I see.
He was given an impossible task.

And still he undertook it.

Intolerable.

Yes, sir.

It's this kind of thing that led Lord Kim
to criticize our strategy.

I know.

It's ridiculous.
I can't understand him.

He's a fine man, I know that.

My heart is heavy over this.

I understand. If you get a chance,
talk to him and clear the air.

Yes, sir.

Kim Jun, perhaps?

Why are you looking at me?

No reason. Nevermind.

- Anyway, the Guard Corps...
- Sir.

We must be united in all things.
You have a lot to do.

Yes, sir. I'm completely at
your disposal.

Thank you.
I know you're up to it.

You're a great help to me
and the Overlord.

All thanks to you, sir.

Not at all.

Oh, we have more good news.

The Crown Princess
is with child.

Is she?
Good news, indeed.

Yes, indeed. Wonderful news.

Congratulations, Sire.

I understand the Crown Princess
has happy news.

So she does.

We have too little good
news these days.

It's good for the people,
and the court.

I hope it's a prince, Sire.

Yes, that would be nice.
A boy assures future generations.

Even if the royal house is powerless.

Powerless?
You are the ruler of Koryo, Sire.

Don't say such things.

What good is a ruler that doesn't rule?

Sire.

Still, I had high hopes for
the Director General.

Although it did no good.

He thinks nothing of his position
and drinks the day away.

Pathetic. I hate to see it.

Drink your fill.
I'm to be a grand-pappy.

The Crown Princess is with child.

Is she?

Congratulations.

Yes, yes, yes, drink up.
All you want.

But, sir...

I hate to spoil the mood...

What?

You've been drinking
quite a bit lately.

Doesn't it keep you from your
Guard Corps duties?

Yes, my lord,
he may have a point.

You don't know.

Pak Songbi is running things
at the Guard Corps.

The Overlord handed it over
to him long ago.

And...he has Kim Jun.

So why worry?

The music is nice.

Soothing music, good wine and the
world is far, far away.

Very nice.

By the way, Pak Sungson.

Yes?
Something on your mind?

This Anshim girl...

Didn't the Overlord order her family
to be brought up from Taegu?

Is that so?

It is. One of our friends was
assigned to the task.

He brought some disturbing news.

Disturbing? How so?

Kim Jun went to Puin Temple
on Tripitaka business.

He and Anshim
were involved in Taegu.

Is that possible?

It's true.
We have people looking into it.

Don't be stupid.

We have to know,
it can't be allowed.

He has to be taught a lesson.

Like I said,
you'll be taught the lesson.

Good luck trying.

He has to be torn out
from the roots.

Ripped out for good,
never to return.

Yes, yes. You should see it
through to the end.

You think you can do it?
Then do it, if you can.

Rip those roots.

Yes, sir. Rip them out
and stomp on them.

She's the Overlord's concubine.
And him carrying on.

There will be a huge stink over it.

Then do it!

I'm so drunk.
Yet another day goes by.

Another day wasted.

I'm honored that you sent for me
again, Overlord.

What you said before, about the
dragon that flew to despair.

Yes, Overlord.

The dragon that flies highest,
falls furthest.

Am I going to fall soon?

Your pardon, but at age 70,
all things must end.

Listen to you.
I'm over 60 now.

It's obvious
I don't have much time left.

I didn't mean...

I have no son.
What of my progeny?

I see a long line ahead of you.

The stars speak to me.

Uh-huh, that just means
you have good ears.

What will happen to them?

I see a boy, but nothing else. Sit for
a reading and I can tell you more.

Sure. I could use a laugh.
Come every third day.

Tell me of the outside world.

You may go.

Thank you, Overlord.

About your lady here...

What?

I sense a great tragedy
in the recent past.

Go.

Yes, Overlord.

If I may, perhaps you could use
me for a greater work.

Greater work?

Allow me to serve Koryo.

You want an official position?

I'll think about it.

You can go.

Overlord,
I pray for your speedy recovery.

A shaman among shamans,
that one.

We have news from Taegu.

Did something happen?

Yes. The Mongols killed
your entire family.

Overlord!

My condolences. I had hoped
to help them, and now this.

Overlord...

I know the sacrifice you made for them.
But here we are.

Fate was cruel to your family.

Stay here. I'll look after you.

The Overlord likes Ju Yonji then?
He sent for him again?

Yes, Your Grace.

To the Lady Anshim's quarters.

I thought he might.

Ju Yonjin has quite a gift.

I was shocked at how accurate
Seungjok's fortune was.

Is that so?

Pardon me, Your Grace.

Yes?

People say they knew the
shaman back in Kaegyeong.

How can that be? He said he only
recently came from Mt. Keumgang.

He's similar, that's all.

The Overlord makes frequent
visits to Anshim?

I'm afraid so.
You may have cause for concern.

Why should I?
She's nothing, a trifle.

Certainly nothing to be jealous over.

I want Seungjok to sit
with the shaman.

Make an appointment.

Yes, Your Grace, as you wish.

If he helps the Overlord,
he can help my boy.

They said what?

It was quite alarming.

They mean to kill Kim Jun?

Yes, Your Grace,
and what's worse...

Go on.

Lord Kim approved of their plans.

Admittedly, he was drunk.

Did he?

Hearing them, it won't be easy
for Kim Jun to get out of this.

It appears he was involved with
Lady Anshim in Taegu.

If it turns out to be true,
it's the equivalent of treason.

Quite right.

They're set on getting
rid of the chamberlain.

They'll do anything to frame him.

Quite possibly.

And Lord Kim agreed to this?

He was very drunk.

But it wasn't just talk.

When they said they want Kim Jun
dead, he told them to go ahead.

Then there's no time to waste.

Yes, Your Grace.
We have to do something.

If we don't, they will surely
kill the chamberlain.

I saved him once.

A long time ago.

If they mean to kill him,
I'll save him again.

Thank you, Pak Seungson,
you've been of great service.

Not at all.
I'm just doing my duty.

Quite so.
I need to think about this.

I want you to keep an eye out.

Your Grace.

Any other information for me?

I understand my father
has a fortuneteller?

Recommended by my stepmother?

Yes, Your Grace. He's under
investigation even as we speak.

Investigation?

Much of his past is in question.

He's a fraud, is that it?

Perhaps.
We know he has a suspicious past.

I'll let you know
when we know more.

Please, form a line.

There are too many of you.
Pardon us.

No line-jumping.

I have an appointment.

So does everyone else.

If you please?

This way.

- Hands off.
- Line-jumper.

Why does a general from the Ministry
of Justice honor my humble abode?

I'm curious about you.
I came to take a look.

What would you like to know?

The Overlord is consulting you?

Oh, yes.
Just yesterday, in fact.

I've spent many years
with the Guard Corps.

Naturally, all the Overlord's subordinates
are interested in his fortune.

As they should be.

Attending an older gentleman,
it's only natural, of course.

He was taken quite ill recently.

We hear he's recovered,
but we never see him.

Is he truly all right?

Oh, yes. The picture of health.

Any other questions?

It's not easy to ask,
but what about his future?

Anything there?

Anything? With a grandson
in the royal house?

I see a golden dragon.

A dragon?

You mean, an emperor?

Just because I see it, doesn't
mean it's definite.

We have to be careful what we say.

Yes, of course.
Yes, yes, quite right.

If you have any more questions,
we can meet some other time.

Her Grace is on her way.

Her Grace?

I'll go out the other way.

Don't mention that I was here.

I have many official visitors.

I'm the Overlord's vizier,
after all.

Not to worry.

Forgive us. An important personage
is here and it will be a little longer.

Welcome, Your Graciousness.

Oh...what do I see?
What noble visage?

Oh, my...

Visage? You read nobility there?

Need you ask?

Physiognomy has a long and
honored history.

Looking at his face,
I see the face of a great Taoist sage.

A name that lived for centuries, glorious
in the heavens. A noble visage, indeed.

Oh my! My boy was a sage
in a previous life?

Just so, Your Grace.

A great one, truly great.

We see a visage like this only
once or twice in a lifetime.

Such an honor,
to see such a noble visage.

I'm glad I came today.

Is there anything you need?

People are quite generous.

Don't trouble yourself.

I brought his genealogy.
Can you read his future?

Need you ask?

If you please....

Now relax, relax...

Such a noble visage must
have a noble heritage.

We will start with your name.
Which is...?

Tell him.

Oh Seungjok.

Yes, yes, excellent.
Very good.

An auspicious name
for a fine young man.

Oh, yes, yes...

I've missed you two.

You leave tomorrow?

Just so.

I have my orders,
what else can I do?

Seriously, I appreciate being given
such a rewarding job.

Now we hear the crown princess is
with child. Our happiness is complete.

I appreciate it.
You're related to her now, too.

Modesty forbids.

- Chamberlain Choe.
- My lady.

- You have a difficult job.
- Not at all.

I heard the news.

My condolences.

Kim Jun sends his, as well.

There's nothing I can say to hm.

Fate can be so cruel.

Kim Jun knows that.

He's at the Guard Corps?

Yes.

He's going through a lot.

He thought he would
be happy again.

He never stopped looking for you when
he got back from Taegu.

But now, you both have to forget.

I try to grin and bear it.

But now none of it matters.
My choices, I mean.

I can understand why
you say that.

I hope you can hold on.

There's nothing more I can say.

I must...
I must...

The court is important,
but the Tripitika is more so.

I've donated my entire fortune.

I know.

We're born, we take on official duties,
we do well.

Now we can use our wealth
to serve Buddha.

I'm prepared to do so.

That sounds more like a
demand than a request.

- More like noblesse oblige.
- Of course.

The Tripitaka can unite our scattered
and destitute people.

Yes, I believe so.

This is a good thing. You and the Head
Abbot are in complete agreement.

That's why I wanted to see you.

The preparations have begun.
Now we can give this our full attention.

We're counting on you write a
proper consecration.

Overlord?

We must be united, from the throne
down, and need a devotion to that affect.

Yes, Overlord. To honor me with such
a glorious task.

I will cleanse my spirit and write
with all my soul.

Thank you.

Now let's make up for lost time.
Overlord.

You're sure you're better now?

Oh, yes. I was weak for a while,
but not anymore.

Do what you can
on your way to Namhae.

Need you ask?
You can rely on me.

The people are hurting,
more so in Cholla.

This Yi Yonnyon fancies
himself a Baekje descendant.

He's rallying the people.

Yes, so I heard.
His power is growing.

Kim Kyongson went there,
but he has so few men.

I fear for his safety.

I thought Naju had 50 men.
You only have thirty?

Yes, sir. They heard the rebels were
within 20 miles and deserted en masse.

The enemy is within
a 20 mile radius?

Yes. Yi Yunnyon is with them.

He says he's the heir of Baekje.

You shouldn't have come.
He's 1,000 strong, at least.

What can 30 men do?

First we'll bar the gates.
We can't let them in.

Already done.
But it won't make any difference.

They can take the fort
anytime they like.

Have you gathered your citizens?

They're all terrified.

Gather them together.
I'll talk to them.

It won't be easy.
They know we don't have troops.

Send for them.

All of them.

Hear me.

I am Kim Kyongson,
you may have heard of me.

The rebels are within 20 miles of us.

And what is Naju?

Who was Koryo's second emperor?

Emperor Hyejong.

Hyejong hailed from here,
from Naju.

This was his hometown.

How can this area revolt?

Baekje? Will we let some delusional
rabble march over an Emperor's home?

But Koryo deserted us.

It wasn't Koryo,
it was the Mongols.

The entire country is fighting
to keep Koryo alive.

Even death cannot cleanse the guilt...

of those who rebel now.

That sounds good.
But what can we do against so many?

I will die here.

Those who fight with me
to the end will be rewarded.

This is an emperor's home.

If you join the rebels,
you will be traitors for eternity.

Meet the enemy with me.

I will die here as well.

I will win or I will die.

The cowards ran away.

But 30 brave men remain.

We fight together.

History will remember
the defenders of Naju!

We fight! We fight!

Hang on,
did you say Kim Kyongson?

Yes, sir.

Everyone has heard of him.

Who hasn't heard of Ft. Kwiju?

True, true.
This puts me on the spot.

Killing Kim Kyongson isn't difficult.

But the people will turn on us
for killing their hero.

Just so, sir. Naju is nothing.

We could take it if we like,
but we shouldn't kill Kim Kyongson.

We should win them over to our side.

Exactly. Win them over.

We have the upper hand.

What have they got anyway?

Surround the fort, then we'll win
them to our side.

Move out.

Yes, sir.

Yes, it's not as if we wanted to rebel.
We were forced into it.

Listen, if we can win over Kim Kyongson,
all of Koryo is ours for the taking.

Of course, sir.

Kim Kyongson.

Is his coming a good thing
or a bad thing?

The royals and the Guard Corps ran
to Kanghwa and left us here.

And now Kim Kyongson comes after us.

A pity. A pity.

Fate is fickle.

It's terrible, but if this had happened sooner,
she wouldn't be here with us now.

What is this?

Why am I seeing her face again?

What good is it?

Let's go.

I can't leave her like this.

She came here as a sacrifice
for her family.

But now they're all dead.

She has no reason to serve
the Overlord now.

But what should I do?
How should I proceed?

What about her?

What am I thinking?
She belongs to the Overlord.

It won't be easy for Kim Jun
to get out of this.

It appears he was involved with
Lady Anshim in Taegu.

Lord Kim was very drunk.
But it wasn't just talk.

When they said they want Kim Jun,
he told them to go ahead.

They think they can kill Kim Jun?

How he must hate him.

As much as he hates me.

I must act.

Kim Jun is so close now.

I won't let them ruin everything now,
not now.

I have to do something.

Kim Jun, you fool. What is this dark
fate that binds us? What?

Your Grace.

Lord Kim has returned.

Oh?

Yes, Your Grace.
In his living quarters.

Is he drunk again?

Yes, it appears so.

I see. You may go.

Your Grace.

My lord, it's me.
May I come in?

Who?

My wife?

Well, well, come on in.

What is it now?

Ah, you must have heard.
About our daughter.

She's knocked up.

Yes, I heard.

A perfect excuse to get drunk.

Join me?

We need to talk.

About what? Go on.

About Chamberlain Kim.

I can't get away from him.

Why do you have to bring him
up today of all days?

You want to kill him?

What?

Come again?
Why would I?

It's cowardly. Unmanly.

Killing someone because
you don't like him?

Now, now, what's this about?

I admit I'm drunk,
but you're not making any sense.

Explain yourself.

I heard you plan to kill Kim Jun.

Ah, that.

What did they say?
Kim Jun and An-somebody.

Why does the Overlord
bother with a courtesan?

Concubine, courtesan, whatever.

What has he done to deserve death?

What do you want to hear?

If he did wrong, he must be
punished, right?

Listen to me.

Kim Jun did wrong with her.

With the Overlord's woman.
Arrogant jerk.

You're not behind this?

Not this.
It's all on your boyfriend.

You're not?
Not this.
It's all on your boyfriend.

Not this.
It's all on your boyfriend.

We haven't been a couple
for a long time.

Isn't it time we stopped pretending
and ended this?

"We?"
Sorry, but I can't do that.

What about our daughter?

If it's a boy, he may be
emperor someday.

How can we get divorced?
What about the boy's future?

I've decided to live as
though I'm dead.

You live how you like, but...

Leave Kim Jun alone.

He has to be taught a lesson.

He's done enough damage
to the Guard Corps.

My wife and that other girl,
the Overlord's woman!

It's too disgusting to even talk about.

If he deserves death, he should die.

Is that so?

That is so.
