Hae mo-su...

Miss?

Hae mo-su...

I'm not dreaming, am I?

You really are hae mo-su?

Miss...

Even if this is a dream, it does not matter.

Even if the pair of hands that embrace me now...

Is only the spirit of hae mo-su, it does not matter.

Episode 12.

When I went to hyeon-to city to look for you,

I was already pregnant with your child.

Although I saw you,

blinded and tied to the cross.

But,

knowing that the only way to preserve your flesh and blood was to survive,

I decided to turn around and leave.

Only after giving birth to the child,

did I realize,

that it was the late king's devised trap which caused your downfall.

It was of my own accord that I went back to buyeo palace.

I had hoped that once our child grew up,

he would help accomplish the great cause that hae mo-su had been unable to complete.

I had also hoped that he would be able to take revenge on the buyeo...

That pushed you towards the path of death.

The child's name,

in hopes that he would inherit your legendary archery skills...

Is ju-mong.

Ju-mong...

Ju-mong is...

Really my child?

Do you know ju-mong?

The prison cave which...

Ju-mong hid in...

I was locked up in that place for 20 years.

Forgive me...

I never dreamed that you would still be alive in this world...

Please forgive me...

Miss...

I have to go and see ju-mong.

I have to tell him about you.

Who you are, how you survived...

I must tell him everything.

No, you must not, miss.

Ju-mong's father,

will always be the one who raised him...

Geum-wa.

Hae mo-su...

I have never done anything for him,

in what way am I fit to be his father?

Ju-mong and I will stay with you...

For your remaining years.

Miss, you must not.

Now that I've met you again,

I no longer have any regrets.

My reappearance

will only be a huge threat to buyeo.

For you,

for ju-mong,

and also, for the person who took care of you two...

Geum-wa...

I must leave.

Hae mo-su...

Your majesty, lady yoo-hwa requests to see your majesty.

Invite her in.

Come, have a seat.

No, why aren't you sitting down? What are you standing there for?

My lady.

Your majesty.

The kindness your majesty has shown us mother and child,

what can we ever do to repay it?

Although I know perfectly well that even our deaths would be insufficient repayment.

Yet,

I still have one more request for the very last time.

I...

Have met hae mo-s...

Currently, he...

Where is he at the moment?

Where is hae mo-su?

He says he is afraid to implicate your majesty further and so, refuses to see your majesty.

With your majesty's benediction,

I wish to spend the rest of my life

with hae mo-s...

Your majesty!

Please Grant my request!

All along, I have also been searching for hae mo-s...

I did not know how to explain it to you, my lady.

Hence, I intended to locate him first before informing you.

Often, my heart would feel uneasy when I gaze at your sorrowful face.

This places me in extreme agony as well.

But unlike the torment suffered by hae mo-su,

this trifle pain of mine, how can it possibly compare?

You were, for the past ten years,

able to keep me company.

This was enough to make me a very contented man.

Your majesty...

Bring hae mo-su over.

For the remainder of your lives,

you should spend it meaningfully with him.

I will look after both of you.

Your majesty...

Please stop crying.

I must not...

I must not accept your majesty's favours yet again.

Please let us leave.

This is also what hae mo-su desires.

This absolutely would not do.

I will see hae mo-su,

and persuade him.

Stop.

Is this position correct?

Two inches, to the left.

About three inches downwards.

When you're battling thousands of soldiers,

no matter how powerful your shots are,

if there is a long interval between shots,

you would be killed before you even attempt to string on your second arrow.

A skilled Archer has to shoot like rapid fire.

You must take aim once and fire away all at one go.

Hand me the arrows.

Yes.

Now you try.

How many hits have you managed?

Only three.

That's not bad for a start.

The day when the bow becomes a part of your hand,

you'd be able to hit them all.

It looks like you have great affinity with the bow,

even more so than I.

I'm, probably very much like father.

My mother named me ju-mong,

because I've inherited my father's talent in archery, which runs in his veins.

Ju-mong.

Yes?

A long time ago,

I was determined to change the world.

But I failed to abide by the promise of protecting one woman.

You,

must never make such a mistake.

If you're unable to even protect the loved ones at your side,

how would you be capable of protecting a kingdom of people?

Your mother,

must be extremely wise...

And very beautiful.

You must protect her.

Yes, master.

The fact that you're living in seclusion here,

your mother must be extremely worried about you.

You should go and pay her a visit.

Although you were chased out of the palace,

however, I'm sure you could always return to see her.

Yes.

In that case,

I'll go and prepare your meal first before setting off.

There's no need, you may get going now.

On your way back,

bring me a flask of wine.

Yes.

I'll be going off now.

Ju-mong!

Yes, master?

You do not need to rush.

Walk slowly.

Slowly.

Slowly...

And come back again.

Yes!

Master!

I will bring back some wine and deer meat for you!

Do wait for me!

Let's go!

Go forth!

Brother! Brother!

Are you alright, brother?

Why have you all come?

There were hundreds of soldiers

advancing towards your stockade moments ago.

What?!

Brother!

- Brother! - Let go of me!

You're too reckless. You cannot go!

Do you not see?! Master is in danger!!

- I have to go and save him! - Your highness!

- Let me go! Let go! - Your highness!

Oh-yi!

Hae mo-su!

Hae mo-su...

Hae mo-su...

It's me...

It's me, geum-wa...

Hae mo-su!

Hae mo-su!!!

Your highness!

You have awoken!

What happened to master?

I'm asking you, what happened to him?!

He died...

Out of my way!

- Your highness!!! - Your highness!

Your highness!

Your highness!

Your highness!

Your highness!

Master!

Master!

Master!

Master!

Master!

Master!

Master!

Master!

Master!

Master!

Master!

Master!

Master!

Master!

Master!

Master...

Master...

Master...

As the day of the battle draws increasingly near,

I've become even more afraid.

It's hard to imagine that you have your moments of fear too.

To tell you the truth,

I'm actually a coward.

Ever since I became a hero of the refugees,

I'm unsure of how to rid them of their misery,

and so it vexes me a lot.

If it weren't for you,

I would have given up long ago.

If it weren't for you, I too, would not be where I am now.

My fortune in getting to know you and becoming your comrade,

has been an experience unlike any other in my lifetime.

If I had not met you,

I would still be in buyeo palace now,

devoid of suffering, without any worries, living through my carefree days in a blur.

Geum-wa,

I have a favor to ask you.

If I die in this battle,

please take care of miss yu-hwa.

Because of me, she has lost everything.

But I can't do anything for her.

Stay alive and protect her.

That is the most valuable thing you can do for her.

That is true.

But if I die,

don't Bury me.

Dump my body in those high mountains.

And leave it there.

That way,

I can be food for the tired vultures.

And when those vultures fly away into the distance,

I will be flying with them too.

I can look over the land we lost.

Hae mo-su,

it's yoo-hwa.

Please,

say something.

Hae mo-s...

My lady, if you don't let go of his hand,

then hae mo-su will have an even harder time going on his long journey.

Let him go now.

Even when you were alive, you didn't know.

I've lived comfortably for so long.

How am I supposed to rid myself of this sin. How can you leave me behind like that?

Hae mo-s...

Say something!

Help her up.

Let go.

- My lady, please. - Let go!

Hae mo-s...

Hae mo-su!

Hae mo-s...

My lady!

My lady!

After hae mo-su's death,

a funeral was held.

But his majesty is still grieving.

What should we do?

Who killed general hae mo-su. Have you any clues at all?

Just like you'd guessed,

it was I who killed hae mo-s...

Why did you do that?

Didn't I already warn you?

If buyeo comes to any harm because of this, how will you be responsible for it?

Disaster will not befall buyeo because of hae mo-su's death.

Instead, disaster will strike because he is alive.

How many times have I said this? If his majesty meets hae mo-su,

then war with the hans will be inevitable.

If this is not a disaster, then what is it?

I just removed the seed of disaster. And I do not regret doing what I did.

His majesty will definitely seek the killer who murdered hae mo-s...

What are you planning to do?

It will be easy to kill only me.

But I'm sure he wouldn't kill prince dae-so too.

This..

What does it mean?

I came up with the idea.

Prince dae-so executed the plan.

Even if hae mo-su was his majesty's confidant,

his majesty wouldn't kill his own flesh and blood just for him.

Living under the same sky with a person like you

is unbearable.

Take this as your fate.

You must remember,

if you ever provoke me again...

Then... I'll never let you go.

Your highness.

Eat something.

Our friendship

shall end here.

Leave.

Your highness.

Master died because of me.

For 20 years, my master, who didn't even know why he was put in jail,

because he met me,

died so innocently.

All of you will suffer the same fate if you stay by my side.

Leave.

Even if we die,

we cannot lose our sense of loyalty.

We will follow your highness.

I am not worthy of that.

And neither am I qualified enough.

Your highness.

Your highness.

Where are you going?

I heard that lady yoo-hwa refuses to eat or drink.

Affairs of the heart are naturally much harder to recover from.

Brother.

Yes, your majesty.

Instruct the imperial physician

to prepare some medicines.

What?!

I want to personally see how yoo-hwa looks in unbearable pain.

My lady,

her majesty is here.

I've announced your arrival to her a few times already, but my lady is still too weak to get up.

It seems like you won't be able to visit her for today.

I am aware of her lady's condition. But

I've come all the way here, so I can't I just leave.

My lady.

I've come to see you.

I thought this medicine might help you regain your strength, and so I brought it along.

His majesty is very worried to see you in this state, you must recover quickly.

What is really going on?

Even the imperial doctor is troubled, because he can't figure out the disease.

You lost the one you kept deep in your heart.

Your heart will break apart.

But,

it is not the time yet.

Because of you, I have been washing my face with tears,

my suffering

I will repay you a thousand times.

You just wait and see.

Your pain and suffering is only just beginning.

On the day general hae mo-su was killed,

the army of Cheng nan was dispatched.

Even general did not know of this?

The officer hid this from me and acted on their own.

Even though they said it was just a practice,

but not reporting it was very dubious.

Bring the officer who did not report this and acted on his own

before me.

Yes, your majesty.

Brother.

Big trouble.

What happened?

His majesty

has given orders to the general and guards

to capture the officer who lent me the soldiers.

The truth will be out.

What do we do now?

Brother.

I didn't know that man was hae mo-su at all.

He won't be pleased when he finds me soon,

what should I do?

I will take responsibility for this.

Don't worry.

When dispatching the army,

you have to report to me first

for what reason,

didn't you report to me?

With the soldiers, where did you go?

Did you go to chun-mu mountain?

Why aren't you answering me??!!

I'm asking you if you brought the troops to chun-mu mountain.

Your majesty.

Your majesty.

Let me explain.

Please let them take their leave.

All of you, out.

You can start now.

What happened that day?

Brother did not know anything, but the one

who let him dispatch the 200 men

was me.

It was I,

who killed general hae mo-su?

What did you...

Just say?

It was I

who killed general hae mo-s...

You bastard!!

I did it for buyeo and father.

Shut up, you bastard!

Even if you were to behead me,

could you please listen to my explanation first?

When I was carrying out my duties,

I heard of general hae mo-su of the dal-mu army who fought the hans.

That general hae-mo su was father's soulmate,

I found out then too.

You knew everything.

Yet, you could still do something like that.

Many buyeo commoners

were refugees of gojoseon who were rescued by general hae mo-s...

If they knew that the hero,

hae mo-su, who saved them was still alive, then what would happen

to the buyeo that father has protected with his life?

There would be mutiny

and the hans would seize this opportunity to declare a war.

I...

Was acting on father's behalf.

If my loyalty is wrong,

then I am willing to take this blow from father.

I want you to disappear from my sight immediately.

Your highness.

Only you...

Have the courage to be buyeo's ruler.

Your loyal servant, bu deuk-bul,

pledge my allegiance to your highness.

Leave the room.

My lady...

Forgive me for being so useless.

I,

Don't even have the right to tell you to get well soon.

I,

Am not qualified to tell you to stop crying.

Go and find ju-mong.

Bring him back to the palace.

Yes, your majesty.

How is prince ju-mong?

He drinks and has fun the whole day.

Brother.

What's this?

Money for wine.

Prince ju-mong's wounds will only heal with time.

Before he recovers fully, you must take good care of him.

Yes.

I really don't understand you, miss.

What don't you understand?

The royal family of buyeo has already given up on prince ju-mong.

Investing in a non-lucrative business is a very stupid thing to do.

We will see if there are returns or not when the time comes.

What do you do actually? You come here to drink everyday.

Only you ladies need to know this,

I'm buyeo's third prince,

ju-mong.

If you're a prince, then I must be buyeo's Princess!

Rubbish.

Don't you know buyeo has no Princess?

Why not?

I am the Princess his majesty secretly had and hid.

A hidden Princess?

Then you must be careful.

If there was a Princess like you,

then the princes dae-so and young-po would kill you.

Even if I were to die,

I would want to die in a prince's hands. That would be so honourable.

Me too.

Fine.

I will let you cry for your dear life tonight!

Don't talk about it. Don't talk about it.

Don't talk about his alcohol tolerance level.

I am impressed at how good he is at pleasing women.

But.

Do we continue to let him act like this?

When can he crawl out of the wine vat?

He will eventually crawl out.

Please take care of him, brother.

Tell me when you run out of money.

As long as I can drink and gamble, I'm a happy man.

But...

Where did you get this money from?

We've already spent quite a bit on wine.

This is surely not your money.

This, you don't need to know.

I'm going back now.

Fine.

Take care.

Doubles!

I have it! I have it!

Hurry up and give it to me.

Is pal-mo your friend?

Didn't it work when you drank the so-Hong wine last time?

It'll only take awhile.

Just come in to see our chief.

Just what are you up to?

Don't you know what I'm like?

I...

Will never ever pass down the skills of buyeo's ironware workshop!

We don't need to learn those skills.

If you don't need them, then why are you constantly harrassing me?

The last time I spoke to you, it was a test.

What right do you have to test me?

I know you've been studying the techniques of ironware very closely for over ten years.

But you're always failing.

If I help you in your studies, how will you repay me?

No.

Are you for real?

You rascal, you're dead!

Wait! Wait!

Bu-young is here! Bu-young!

Bu-young!

Oh. It is bu-young.

What are you doing here?

Where is his highness?

Why do you ask?

Where is he?

Bu-young. I know you're worried about his highness.

But it'll be best not to tell you.

Has something happened to his highness?

He is always in the company of wine and women.

Is it worth showing concern for him?

Are you crying?

Who's crying?

Leave.

I want a hug from the prince. Why're you chasing me out?

I said leave!

Crazy bastard.

Just because I call you prince, do you really think you are one?

Bu-young.

Your highness.

What are you doing here?

Your highness, why are you living like this?

This is what I am.

What I was before,

don't you know?

Your highness.

Anybody who has anything to do with me met disasterous ends.

In the future,

don't visit me anymore.

Your highness

your highness

why can't I do it?

Again, again.

Mu-song!

I thought you were still sleeping.

I'll try my hand at it.

As if drinking all day is not enough, now you want to gamble.

Are you trying to ruin your life?

Aren't you having bad luck? Let me try.

Tell me how to play.

Well then,

this is how you play.

All thanks to your highness, I have made quite a large profit.

My profits, of course, belong to the palace emissary and your highness.

I admire your ability to think on your feet.

So, who did you sell those weapons to?

To ok-Jo.

Are you mad?

Ok-Jo is our rival.

You sold weapons to our rival?

Your highness,

I made him do it.

Don't worry.

Ok-Jo's ability will not change just because of those weapons.

They were offering much more than the other countries.

Why shouldn't we sell it to them?

Yes. Palace emissary is right.

Don't worry.

- Come on, drink up. - Boss.

What is it?

We've found chu-mo.

Who is chu-mo?

Your highness has drawn a portrait and the one we've been looking for is him.

Come on. Bet

- doubles. - Doubles

they're all betting on doubles.

It's single!

Am I good at this?

I thought you only knew how to drink and womanize

I never expected you to be such a good gambler.

I should've asked you to join earlier.

Come on.

Come on, come on.

I have something to say to you.

Who are you?

That's enough.

What is it?

Your highness, please return to the palace.

I'm no prince. Go back home.

Your highness...

His majesty has given orders for you to return to the palace.

His majesty's orders?

Go back and tell his majesty...

That I am still far from being a real prince.

Your highness.

I said move.

Wait for awhile.

He's back.

Come on.

Who was that?

It's nothing. Don't bother about him.

Come on.

Singles!

Singles.

All singles.

They're doubles!!

He refused to come back.

How has he been doing?

Tell me what you saw.

I really don't know how to say this.

He drinks and makes merry the whole day at the tavern.

I spend my whole life at the gambling table.

But a person like ju-mong.

Wait...

Like your highness, who is so lucky, I have met for the first time.

You're wrong, mu-song.

There is no one else in this world more unlucky than me.

Someone luckier than this? How can that be?

Let's go.

Long time no see.

What are you up to?

Who are you people? Do you have any idea who this man is?

- That I do not care. - What?

What are you still standing there for? Kill him now!

Stand back.

Poh Kim.

I want to reform.

I don't want to be the old jumong.

I want to become the jumong

father and mother want

before returning to the palace

but

the more I tried...

The more I got entangled

I've let your majesty and mother down

and caused the death

of my beloved master

after being expelled

the timid rabbit

became a tiger

maybe it's because

I was influenced by the deceased general haemosu

who could have

imparted such skills to you

in such a short time?

Is prince jumong

general haemosds offspring?

Before I select the crown prince

from among you

you should develop your strengths
