- Prince! - Episode 38

prince!

Mo pal-mo!

Prince!

Prince...

Prince!

This sword is stronger than that of the hans. I made it for you, prince.

Commander!

Commander...

Commander.

Prince...

Commander!

Prince!

Commander...

Pal-mo!

Mu-song!

I can't believe my eyes!

I thought I would never see your highness again...

I even thought about following your footsteps to death.

It's true!

He almost drank himself to death.

What else could I have done?

I would've gone mad if I didn't drink.

I'm sorry, pal-mo.

Not at all...

Forgive me for expecting the worst.

I didn't realize that the gods were watching over your highness' fate.

I owe you much, chief.

Seeing you made me realize how great yeo mi-eul's divine powers are.

Everyone thought you were dead,

but she believed firmly that you weren't, and sent us here.

How is his majesty?

What happened to the war?

Did we take over yim-doon and Jin-beon?

Why aren't you answering me?

Prince dae-so is now governing buyeo as his majesty's representative.

What do you mean?

Did something happen to his majesty?

Prince dae-so took over the palace with the sachuldo soldiers,

threatened his majesty, and is now acting as his representative.

They say he's acting as his majesty's representative,

but it's just as bad as treason.

His majesty and my mother, w-what happened to them?

They're living under prince dae-so's watchful eyes.

His majesty recovered just recently from his wounds during the war.

He must be even more shocked.

Prince dae-so's tyranny has become too brutal,

so mu-song and I have fled to gyehru.

Mari, we should take him back now.

Commander.

We should go back.

What happened to miss so seo-no?

She's well.

Pal-mo, you should return to gyehru.

I have some business to take care of with oh-yi, mari, and hyeop-Bo.

Yes.

Please tell yeo mi-eul that I will go to gyehru to visit her.

Yes.

Commander, what is that business you talked about?

Han-baek village.

Thanks to you saving ju-mong, our tribe has earned great profit.

In exchange for turning him over to han, we will be protected by han's army.

We're now free from fears of being attacked by other tribes.

Protected by han?

They will eventually threaten our tribe's existence.

How can you be so foolish?

Since I am foolish, you can be my head for me.

You are wise enough,

so wouldn't it be helpful to our tribe's future if you help me?

I will marry you before our people.

I'd rather die.

I may be foolish, but I won't let my woman die.

I will be the one who decides whether you live or die.

You are given only one choice...

To marry me and serve me.

Young-rok.

Yes, my lord.

If something disastrous happens to so-ya, you will meet with death.

Watch her carefully.

Yes, my lord.

Who's there?

Prince!

We have to get out before the soldiers get here.

Hyeop-Bo!

Yes?

Escort miss.

Miss! We should go!

Get so-ya!

Get her!!

Miss!

Don't just stand here!

Get the horses!

Immediately!

Go after them!

Kill them!

My lord!

How did it go?

They lost us.

Are you all right?

Yes.

I know that I should kill sul-tak and take revenge for your father,

but I really have to go back to buyeo soon.

I will definately free you from your grief later.

Governor!

The iron army is back from the han-baek tribe.

So what happened?

Is it true that ju-mong is alive?

Yes.

Did they capture him?

They lost him on the way back to hyeon-to city.

What!?

Those pathetic fools!

What was the iron army doing!?

Dong-sun.

Yes?

Go to buyeo immediately, and imform prince dae-so that ju-mong is alive.

Yes, governor!

If ju-mong makes it back to buyeo alive, wouldn't that be a great burden to prince dae-so's reign?

Dae-so will kill him before he gets to the buyeo palace.

How do you feel?

Much better.

Your majesty.

What is the matter?

Chief yeon ta-bal is withdrawing from buyeo.

Withdraw?

Prince dae-so ordered their banishment.

Are you outside, song-ju?

Did you ask for me?

Bring chief yeon ta-bal to me.

Yes, your majesty.

Load everything!

Everything!

Make sure you don't leave your heart behind.

What brings you here?

His majesty is asking for chief yeon ta-bal.

Did you notify his royal highness?

It is his majesty's order.

You still need an approval from his royal highness.

Yeon ta-bal?

Yes,

chief yeon ta-bal and so seo-no are waiting outside the palace right now.

Let them in to have an audience with his majesty.

Yes, your highness.

I knew you were sick, but I couldn't pay you a visit.

Forgive me.

I know your situation is because of dae-so.

I won't forget everything you've done for buyeo.

I am embarrassed for going back to gyehru,

unable to help your majesty in this time of trouble.

I am ashamed that you have to see this side of buyeo.

It's clear that song-Yang will oppress gyehru now that he is allied with the hans.

Do you have any plans to prepare yourself?

I'm truly sorry that I can't help gyehru.

Your majesty,

I have experienced and learned many things while staying in buyeo.

We will endure whatever hardship comes our way.

So don't worry about us, and please stay well.

I heard that you got married.

Being in despair, I wasn't able to congratulate you on your marriage.

I am sorry.

Your highness...

I know well how much you have suffered under prince dae-so.

Ju-mong failed to protect you...

I'd like to ask for your forgiveness on behalf of ju-mong.

Your highness...

I cannot let him go as I am his mother,

but you should forget him.

I'm sure that is what he would wish as well.

Your highness...

Why aren't you in bed yet?

Have a seat.

Is anything troubling you?

Nothing.

I heard that so seo-no came to the palace today.

Is it because you've banished her back to gyehru?

Your royal highness.

If you truly care about so seo-no, you must forget about her.

If you keep her in your heart, I'm not sure what I might do to her.

Your highness, I won't mind if you touch even ten concubines.

But, I want to be the only one who has your heart.

Your royal highness, this is na-ru.

Come in.

Your highness, you should come outside for a minute.

How dare you!

So you are also belittling me?

I'm already upset that the queen and dae-so are looking down on me!

I can't stand any more of you scorning me!

For-forgive me, your highness.

Forgive you?

I am too narrow-minded to forgive anyone.

You should have asked dae-so the great to forgive you instead!

What the hell is all this!?

What an honor to see you, your royal highness.

I was only teaching these rude whores the rules of the palace.

You are dismissed.

I'm not done yet!

Shut up, you idiot!

You are a disgrace to the royal family!

A disgrace?

Don't say such a thing without much thinking.

From how you stole his majesty's authorities, if I'm a disgrace, then you're immoral!

You wretch!

What is this?

So this is what it comes down to!

You have everything...

And now you are abandoning your brother who has nothing left!

If you choose to act like a vulgar ruck from the streets, then why shouldn't I?

As you wish.

I have nothing to be afraid of anymore.

People call me a prince of buyeo, but do I have any rights?!

I'd be happier as a vulgar ruck from the streets.

Look at the mess I'm in right now!

Take him away and throw him in prison!

Your highness.

Don't just stand there!

Take him away!

Escort him.

Let me go!

Let go!

Brother! Let me go!

What?

Did he really imprison young-po?

Yes, your highness.

Prince young-po was drunk, harassing the palace maids...

That pathetic fool.

How dare you wretches!

Open up this door!

I will surely chop off your heads as soon as I get out of this place!

Open up, immediately!

Now!

Mother!

Serves you right.

Mother.

How can dae-so do this to me?

He can't do this to me!

Considering what you've done,

you should be thankful he didn't punish you any further.

Mother...

What a pathetic fool.

How can you be so idiotic!?

Please, at least be half the man dae-so is.

I can't believe you two came out of the same parents.

Mother!

Let's go.

Mother! Don't just leave me in here!

Get me out of here! Mother!

Stay inside and think about what you've done wrong,

and how you should act from now on.

Mother!

Gyehru

how did it go?

As you have forseen, prince ju-mong is safe.

Did he go to buyeo?

Yes.

He mustn't!

Prince dae-so won't let him live.

Leave for buyeo immediately,

and stop prince ju-mong from entering the palace.

Yes.

Is something troubling you?

Although prince ju-mong is alive, he has rough roads ahead of him.

In order to fly farther and higher, a bird must flutter his wings harder.

He can't go far with just fluttering his wings.

He can fly farther without hard works if he knows how to let the wind take him.

That is what a monarch should do.

Take a seat.

Did you finally come to your senses?

Young-po.

Why can't you understand me?

Do you really think that I hate you?

If you don't, then how could you do this to me?

Please, think ahead.

Why are you always caught up in what's right in front of you?

I really need your help to govern buyeo.

If you are willing to help me, you must gain enough experience,

and wisdom in some of the most inconvenient positions.

When the right time comes, I will assign you to a post.

So for now, have faith in me and follow me.

You can go rest now.

Do you really believe you can lure me with your sweet talk?

Just wait and see.

I'll make sure you pay for the humiliation and insult you've given me.

Commander of royal guards!

Yes?

Don't you have anything to say?

It was his royal highness's orders.

Please, forgive me.

How dare you!

You may be acting snobbish right now under dae-so.

But let's see how far you will go.

What is it?

There's an envoy from the hyeon-to city.

An envoy?

For what purpose, all of a sudden?

He says he'll tell you in person.

What is it?

I have something important to tell your highness.

You're dismissed.

Now tell me.

Your highness,

prince ju-mong is alive.

What?

Commander,

I'm sure Yang-jeong informed prince dae-so that you're still alive.

His majesty and chief general heuk-chi tried to take over the palace,

but they have failed.

If prince dae-so knows that you're alive, he will be even more defensive.

Yes. Commander.

It's dangerous for you to go back into the palace right now.

I'd better visit yeon ta-bal's troop first, and meet miss so seo-no.

Is there any problem?

Did something happen to miss?

Miss so seo-no has married manager oo-tae.

Who are you?

Where's miss so seo-no?

She went back to gyehru because prince dae-so ordered her banishment.

She left not long ago. You might be able to meet her if you hurry.

Prince dae-so tried to make miss so seo-no his concubine,

even after marrying Yang-jeong's daughter.

She probably decided that she would rather marry oo-tae...

...than become dae-so's concubine.

That is why she was banished from buyeo.

What brings you here?

I heard that prince ju-mong is alive.

How did you know?

I met dong-sun.

Prince ju-mong initiated the war with yim-doon and Jin-beon.

He also became a stumbling block to your reign, wasn't he?

Then if he comes back to buyeo, he will cause a chaos.

What is there to worry about?

Kill him before he gets to the palace.

If you can't do it, I will.

I won't forgive anyone, whoever stands in your highness's way.

Buyeo is not a subject state to han. We cannot trade under such condition.

Your royal highness,

if it were his majesty, he wouldn't have easily tolerated it.

If there is nothing to gain from alliance with han, then we should break the alliance.

Then, would it be better to go to war with han?

I, too, am aware that the trading condition with han is disadvantageous to buyeo.

Why can't you understand that it is the last resort to avoid a war with han?

Your highness,

you shouldn't be afraid of war.

If you give them one to avoid war, you will soon lose ten.

I heard, among the citizens, there are rumors going about...

Buyeo's royal court becoming han's puppet.

General heuk-chi,

you should better watch your mouth.

We will decide after reconsidering the trading condition.

The assembly is dismissed.

Your royal highness,

the ministers only spoke out of loyalty to buyeo.

So please don't worry too much.

Prime minister.

Yes, your highness?

Ju-mong is still alive.

He will soon get to buyeo. What should I do?

Although I have all the power,

I'm not sure how his majesty will react if he learns of this.

But now that he came back alive we can't just get rid of him.

All the ministers and citizens know that he is a hero who contributed greatly...

in the war against yim-doon and Jin-beon.

If we kill prince ju-mong, citizens will turn against the buyeo court,

and buyeo will fall under a great chaos.

You should just tell him that you don't know.

Damn it!

I feel like I'm only being a burden to the prince, who is now in trouble.

Please don't be sorry.

You are the one who saved his life.

Indeed!

Although the commander is in trouble right now,

he will surely find a way to make it through.

So don't trouble yourself, miss.

I'd better go to the streets and see how things are going.

Okay, I'll stay here with the commander and miss.

You can take hyeop-Bo with you.

Okay, let's go, oh-yi.

What did you just say?

Ju-mong is alive?

Yes.

If ju-mong comes back, his majesty will try to get his power back again.

There will be more bloodshed, and everything will be ruined.

I know that too, but I can't just kill him.

Why can't you?

You must try everything.

You must do everything you can to stop him from entering the palace!

What I'm about to tell you right now must be sworn to secrecy.

Anyone who breaks this will lose his head.

Prince ju-mong is alive.

You must eliminate him before he makes it back to the palace.

I think they heard the news that the commander is alive.

Probably.

Let's go.

Mari.

Yes, commander.

We need to find a safe place for miss so-ya.

Yes.

For now, stay at the place mari prepares for you.

Tell me if there's anything I can do to help you.

I will do anything.

Forgive me for not escorting you better.

Let's go, miss.

You have work to do in the streets.

Inform the people that I'm back alive in buyeo.

We have to find a way to get in secretly.

Wouldn't that be more dangerous if the news gets out?

Every citizen must know that I'm alive.

When they do, even dae-so won't be able to do anything about it.

What are they doing standing over there?

Are you serious?

You don't believe me?

Someone even saw him in person!

It might have been a ghost!

A dead man can't come back to life!

What's going on?

Prince ju-mong came back from the dead in the battle fields.

That's nonsense!

What a wild rumor!

It's a sign that buyeo will perish.

But if someone saw him, you can't say it's a wild rumor!

You dork!

That's what a rumor's about.

In a few days, there will be a rumor that ju-mong became the emperor of buyeo.

They were scared out of their wits!

Now that they saw you in person, everyone will know.

It was ju-mong!

It was him, right?

Yes, chief, it was him!

It's a ghost.

His ghost is wandering around in buyeo.

But he looked too real to be a ghost.

Is he really alive?

Wait.

If this is true, I should get going!

Where are you going, chief?

I should tell prince young-po.

Come with me, idiot!

What is it?

I have something very important to tell you.

Make it quick.

You came here just to tell me that?

I saw him with my own two eyes!

I saw him, too!

He was prince ju-mong for sure!

Now that you're bankrupt,

you're doing everything you can to win my attention, aren't you?

Your highness.

Here, go buy yourself a drink.

You pathetic fools.

What the...?!

Who does he take me for?

What's going on?

I'm asking you, what is it?

There's a weird rumor going around in the streets.

What rumor?

Do I need to yell at you to make you talk?

Everyone is saying that prince ju-mong is back alive.

Your highness.

You're a palace maid.

You shouldn't let yourself be blinded by rumors of the streets.

You're dismissed.

Your highness, shouldn't we check if this is true?

Not you, too.

It's just the pubic sentiment.

People come up with rumors to make themselves feel relieved...

from prince dae-so's tyranny.

The rumor is spreading fast.

We have to do something about it before it gets out of hand.

Here, here! Listen carefully.

A representative? Yeah right!

A son locked his father up and took everything away!

That is what we call immoral!

We need prince ju-mong to come back and punish the immoral dae-so.

That's the only way for buyeo to live.

I also heard prince ju-mong was the one who killed the Jin-beon and yim-doon governors.

Who told you that?

From the soldiers who came back from the war with han.

I heard that prince ju-mong came up with an amazing strategy to wipe out the han.

I can't believe prince dae-so took all the credit!

I knew it the minute I heard he married hyeon-to governor's daughter.

What a treacherous thing to do as the first royal born of buyeo!

He is trying to barter buyeo off to han!

How dare you wretch!

W-What is this?

This is his royal highness!

Pay your respects!

Y-Your highness!

Your royal highness, I will kill them all.

You don't have to.

- Let's go. - Your royal highness.

They're just ignorant fools speaking in dumb speech.

Please don't take it to your heart.

Even the dumb speech of ignorant fools is the public opinion.

Killing them won't change the public opinion.

It's not a rumor, but a fact.

Then he is really alive!

Yes, there's a big chance that ju-mong spread the news himself.

The people want prince ju-mong to come back.

They are praising him as the war hero.

That is exactly what ju-mong intended.

He's trying to make dae-so powerless by bringing his existence up to the people.

Your highness.

Go ahead.

If that is what he wants, you should find a way to retaliate.

Can you leave us two alone?

Your highness.

You once said prince ju-mong is a child of hae mo-su, right?

Let people know that he is not his majesty's royal born.

Hae mo-su was a hero to the joseon migrants and the buyeo citizens.

The people are in fear ever since dae-so came to power.

If they find this out, they might praise ju-mong even more.

There is only one way out.

Kill him, so he can't set foot in buyeo.

As you intended, the news is all over the buyeo streets.

What will you do now?

I should go into the palace.

No, commander!

They are inspecting everyone to find you.

It's too dangerous!

Wait here.

We'll go with you.

If we go together, it'll be easier for the gatekeepers to find us.

Don't worry about me. Just wait here.

Jumong

your majesty, jumong is still alive

please help my son chansu...

Become the chief of keru

have you seen prince jumong'?

What do you mean'?

If jumong were still alive

why hadn't he returned to the palace?

Is someone...

Stopping him from returning'?

Don't you know that...

Prince jumong is still alive'?

Bring him back to the palace
