Brought to you by jss jumong subbing squad.

General.

The hyeon-to army is sending reinforcements to jol-bon.

If they join song-Yang to attack gyehru, then gyehru will be wiped out.

Prince dae-so has been demoted to commander of the eastern frontier

since emperor geum-wa was reinstated.

He still can't go back to buyeo.

I wonder why Yang-jeong summoned dae-so

right before sending reinforcements to jol-bon?

Do you think there's a connection?

I must find out why dae-so came to hyeon-to.

Welcome.

How have you been?

Father...

You've gotten pale.

I'm fine.

It must've been a rough trip.

Let's go inside.

I don't know what to say...

Don't worry. There will always be more opportunities and second chances.

Right now you can't even call buyeo a nation.

Because of famine, the people are starving and there is much unrest.

I know.

Geum-wa is still so irresponsible. Isn't it pathetic?

You mentioned something about jol-bon in your letter. What is it?

So seo-no has taken back the power of gyehru.

Song-Yang is planning to attack gyehru. It will be a civil war.

We are planning to send troops to song-Yang.

I'm only helping song-Yang to look good. After he attacks gyehru, we will attack and control jol-bon.

That's a great idea.

If you control jol-bon, the han will greet us.

You can restore your lost reputation.

Prince dae-so.

Yes.

Prince dae-so, what do you think about leading our troops?

I'm giving you a chance.

Didn't geum-wa and buyeo forget about you?

Come together with sul-LAN and join me.

Father.

Why are you hesitating?

Do as my father asks.

Why look like a failure?

If we are able to control jol-bon, my father can give you control of it.

I'll make sure it happens. Just follow my father.

Are you telling me to leave buyeo?

Even though I'm banished, I'm still a buyeo prince.

If I'm a general in the the han army, the king will ridicule me.

The world has forgotten about you.

The king and buyeo have forgotten you. Your royal highness should forget them.

His royal highness won't betray buyeo to follow the governor, right?

That's none of your concern.

Just pretend you don't know anything.

Then does that mean he can betray buyeo?

I said that's none of your concern.

His royal highness will make a wise decision.

All we need to do is follow his lead.

I can't do that!

If his royal highness chooses the han, I won't follow him.

The han is an enemy of buyeo.

Stop it!

If his royal highness stands at the the han army's forefront, I'm leaving him.

Stop it!

Have you thought about it?

Thank you for your consideration, but I can't do that.

I'm a prince of buyeo.

I can't betray buyeo.

You're so foolish.

Even the buyeo's officers and citizens don't regard you as their prince.

Why are you still dwelling in your fantasy?

The heaven has forsaken buyeo.

If this keeps up, buyeo will perish.

The han knows this, too, and can attack buyeo to make it a subject state.

If you join me now, you can even have buyeo.

Why are you so stubborn?

I can't do that.

Your royal highness.

What's the matter?

Ju-mong is in hyeon-to right now.

Are you sure?

Yes, he only brought oh-yi.

I think he's traveling in disguise.

Where is he?

He went inside that inn.

Siege the inn.

Siege the inn!

Who are we trying to get?

Ju-mong.

Ju-mong? The general of the da-mul army?

General.

The inn is under siege.

Send in the soldiers.

Let's get out of here.

Get him!

Go after him!

I think we lost them.

Are you okay?

Yes.

Where are we going now?

To buyeo.

Yes.

What happened?

We lost them.

Mister... give me some...

Get up... get up...

Get in line!

Here. Pay up!

How can we be told to pay when we haven't eaten?

These days so many people eat and don't pay.

Bring us soup, rice and wine.

Oh, you haven't heard? Where are you from?

We're not from here.

No wonder you don't know. Right now in buyeo, because of the king, if we sell wine we will die!

Ok. Just bring us soup and rice.

But for a price, anything is possible.

I have some millet wine. Do you want to try that?

Forge the wine, but I have questions.

In buyeo right now, is there a way to access water?

They've tried to dig Wells with workers, but that's impossible.

Rumors say that they are waging a war because of food.

But, how will they fight without man-power?

It doesn't mattter. They will either starve or die fighting.

I hear that the da-mul general's wife is still in buyeo raising his child. Do you know where she is?

Hey, how do you know about that?

I heard that the queen is giving lady yoo-hwa and ye soya a hard time.

The reason they are alive is because the king takes care of them.

The king said he would send ye soya to us when the time is right. Why hasn't he sent her?

We've had all the the chances to conquer buyeo, but we didn't attack.

What is the king planning?

The king is going to approach the da-mul army.

If that is the case, then we need to get ye soya as soon as possible.

Right now if we make that type of request, the king may harm my wife and mother.

For now, I think the only thing we can do is wait.

Yuri.

I had a dream about your father last night.

It was so real.

You need to know what a great man your father is.

He left a life of prosperity to take in the oppressed refugees

and fight against the han.

Your father and the da-mul army are very bold.

Every nation and tribe trembles at the name of the da-mul army.

What was your father's name again?

Ju-mong.

That's right.

You must never forget that name.

Ma oo-ryeong.

His majesty is here.

What brings you here to the divination palace?

Have a seat.

I have a question.

What is it?

I heard that there's a priestess who never leaves the founder's mountain.

Are you talking about priestess bi geum-sun?

Bi geum-sun?

That's what everyone calls her.

I've never seen her either.

I must go and meet priestess bi geum-sun

and ask her how we can avoid misfortune in buyeo.

Your majesty.

No one has ever seen her.

You may be wasting your time.

If I seek her with an earnest heart, I'll surely meet her.

Welcome.

I came here to ask you a question.

Have a seat.

What is it?

I'd like you to send ye soya and Yuri to ju-mong.

Yuri's old enough now.

Please Grant them your permission.

It's about time.

Very well.

I need to leave the palace for a while.

I'll send them as soon as I get back.

Where are you going?

I heard that there's an extraordinary priestess in the founder's mountain.

I must seek revelation from the gods to find a way out of this misfortune.

I'd like the prime minister to be in charge of the government while I'm gone.

Don't worry.

Let's go.

Commander!

This is not a place for you!

Get out of here!

Are you serious?

Yes, your majesty.

I was so scared that I nearly jumped out of my skin.

That's priestess bi geum-sun.

Lead the way.

Get me a torch.

You guys can wait here.

Your majesty, that's too dangerous.

There's no need to worry.

Priestess bi geum-sun!

I'm the king of buyeo!

I've come a long way to meet you!

I have something important to tell you!

Reveal yourself to me!

Are you bi geum-sun?

That's right.

You're the first person ever to come inside this cave.

I've been waiting for you.

You already knew that I'd come here?

Aren't you here to ask me how buyeo can escape from its misfortune?

That's right.

I will do anything to get buyeo out of its misfortune.

I can even give up my life if that's what the heavens want.

Tell me.

Your majesty.

The crisis buyeo is in because of the long famine will get better in time,

but an even greater disaster is awaiting buyeo.

An even greater disaster?

I'm sure you've seen the eclipse a few years ago.

That eclipse means that a new sun has appeared.

After the old joseon perished, the refugees scattered

and its land were divided into many tribes and nations.

But a man born with the energy of the new sun will build a new nation.

Its descendants will regain old joseon's lost land and command the earth.

You mean buyeo will perish?

Buyeo will continue to weaken until it perishes.

That's audacious!

How dare you tell me that my country will be ruined?!

I only gave you the message of the gods.

I better get going now.

Priestess bi geum-sun!

Priestess bi geum-sun!

Priestess bi geum-sun!

Your majesty!

After the old joseon perished, the refugees scattered

and its land were divided into many tribes and nations.

But a man born with the energy of the new sun will build a new nation.

Its descendants will regain old joseon's lost land and command the earth.

It's ju-mong.

Ju-mong will make buyeo perish.

The hyeon-to army has left.

How many are there?

About 2,000 including the iron army.

They've just left hyeon-to, and will arrive in song-Yang's base in about two weeks.

How are things in biryu?

The gwanna and the hwanna's armies are joining in.

Father...

Since there's no news from mt. Bon-gye. I don't think the da-mul army is coming.

He's here.

You're dismissed.

What's the matter?

Are you crazy?

Mother.

You're going to join the army?

Are you crazy?

No one's forcing you to do that!

Mother, this is the only way we can repent.

Repent?

Repent what?

We coveted power and brought trouble upon gyehru.

Yet so seo-no let us live and gave us a second chance.

I'm going to stand on the forefront to fight against the biryu army.

Calm down.

He's only saying that because he's too young to know how frightening war is.

Take your time.

Once song-Yang and the hyeon-to army attack gyehru,

you and I will be the first ones to die.

We have no choice.

We can only pray for the gyehru army to beat the biryu army.

How? They're coming with reinforcements from the han.

Why don't we escape gyehru and ask chief song-Yang for his forgiveness?

We can't be sure that song-Yang will let us live.

It's much better to die in gyehru.

Your majesty!

What's going on?

His royal highness dae-so is here.

Come outside.

Dae-so.

Mother.

Am I dreaming?

Your royal highness.

Get up.

Now.

Let's go to my chamber.

After I meet his majesty.

His majesty is out of the palace right now.

Prince!

Every time you make a big fuss

my hair stands on its end because I feel like something has happened.

But something did happen!

Prince dae-so is back.

What?

Did his majesty summon him?

I don't know.

Where's dae-so?

He's at the queen's chambers.

He went to the founder's mountain to meet the priestess?

Yes, but I doubt it'll do him any good.

Buyeo is in a disaster because his majesty is getting punished for being immoral.

How can he forsake his eldest son like this?

Are you allowed to leave the front without his majesty's order?

I'm afraid his majesty might be angry when he comes back.

Please don't worry.

I have something important to tell his majesty.

Dae-so!

Brother...

Long time no see.

You must've had a tough time at the borderline.

I get heartbroken whenever I think about how you two are guarding the border.

If you were so heartbroken, you should've visited me.

You've forgotten about me for the last 3 years and now you're kissing up to me?

Well, I had a lot to do.

Sounds like his majesty entrusted you with an important duty.

Yeah, right.

You must be tired from the long trip.

Take some rest.

Okay.

Long time no see, prime minister.

How have you been?

Good, thanks to you.

I don't think I can ever forget the kindness you've shown me.

I'm more than honored to hear that.

But I don't think his majesty ordered you to come back.

What brings you here?

If you left the front without his majesty's consent, that's a serious offense.

Are you going to punish me or something?

I should if that's what his majesty orders.

Prime minister.

Let me promise you one thing.

If I get a second chance, you're the first person my dagger will be pointed at.

Prime minister.

His majesty is back.

What are you doing here without my order?

Father.

Pleaseforgive me.

I've deeply regretted how I've scorned you and drove buyeo into havoc.

Is drinking and sword fighting your way of showing regret?

I don't trust you.

Father, please trust me.

I was in hyeon-to before I came here.

You're supposed to be guarding the border,

not going to hyeon-to without my permission!

Governor Yang-jeong asked me to come.

Yang-jeong asked me to lead the the han army to attack jol-bon.

But I declined his request.

Father.

Governor Yang-jeong told me that the han are thinking about attacking buyeo.

Father.

I won't covet power or office anymore.

Please give me a chance to dedicate myself to buyeo.

If the han ever attacks us, I will fight at the forefront.

I will trust you one more time.

Prime minister.

Let me promise you one thing.

If I get a second chance, you're the first person my dagger will be pointed at.

Prime minister.

What's the matter?

His majesty has consented prince dae-so to come back to the palace.

Prince dae-so wants to take revenge on you.

You'll be in trouble if he comes back.

If prince dae-so and sul-LAN come back, they'll persecute us even more.

I can take it, but I'm worried about Yuri.

Don't worry.

His majesty promised to send you and Yuri to ju-mong.

I'll go talk to his majesty.

Buyeo will continue to weaken until it perishes.

The da-mul bow is a sacred treasure

that has been passed down for hundreds of years.

I'm sure your majesty knows from putting the bowstrings on it,

but the da-mul bow is too strong to be broken by a human.

Whoever broke that will surely bring darkness upon the future of buyeo.

Have a seat.

Your majesty.

Send ye soya and Yuri to mt. Bon-gye like you promised.

I thought about that, but I think it'll be too hard for soya to travel that far with Yuri.

Why don't we send her after Yuri gets older?

What are you talking about?

I'll make sure they can go to mt. Bon-gye without any trouble.

My lady.

The prime minister and all the officers are against it.

They don't know when ju-mong's da-mul army will attack buyeo.

You mean you're going to hold ye soya and Yuri as hostages?

Don't think of them as hostages.

I have no choice if I want to maintain balance

between the da-mul army and buyeo.

Your majesty.

That's a very sorry excuse. How unlike you.

How did it go?

Is his majesty going to send us?

- Soya. - Yes?

His majesty wants to keep you and Yuri as hostages.

But don't worry.

I'll do whatever it takes to send you and Yuri to ju-mong.

I thought you went to changchun.

Why are you back so early?

You know why.

I came back at a lightening speed because I missed you.

How can you say such embarrassing things?

It doesn't matter whether I close my eyes or open them because all I see is you.

Stop it.

Mu-deuk...

Stronger! Softer!

Stronger! Softer!

What's wrong?

What happened?

Never mind what happened.

I can't take it anymore.

I should leave the hideout or something.

Is it because of mu-deuk again?

She changed her mind.

I can change a lump of iron by hardening it,

but people don't change their mind that easily.

Let it go.

I can't!

Women are wicked!

Why, I ought to...

The general is taking longer than he should.

I hope nothing's happened to him.

Oh-yi is probably taking good care of him.

Do you know that hyeon-to is sending reinforcements to jol-bon?

I heard it in changchun.

If the hyeon-to army joins jol-bon, gyehru will perish in no time.

The da-mul army can still help gyehru, even if we don't join them.

Gyehru has helped the general a lot during hard times.

It's only right for us to pay back their kindness.

You should not set your foot on a path you're not planning to take.

If we go there to help them, we can't come back.

What?

How can you be so cold-blooded?!

Stop it!

That's for the general to decide when he comes back.

Please come outside for a minute.

What's going on?

Mo pal-mo and I have invented a new weapon.

This is the sotan general ju-mong used during the war with Jin-beon and yim-doon.

We upgraded it.

Stand back.

It's much stronger than it was during the war.

Yes!

There're more.

What?

Donggwan officer!

What's that?

Mo pal-mo and I named it the smoke bomb.

Smoke bomb?

You can make an instant fog with this.

We can attack the enemy without letting them see us.

Great job.

Well done.

Minister of the right!

Someone's here from gyehru.

Manager sa-yong!

What brings you here?

I came because I didn't hear anything from general ju-mong.

We know that gyehru is in an emergency right now.

Where is he?

He went traveling in disguise with oh-yi, but he's not back yet.

General.

Where are we going?

To the founder's mountain.

Why are we going to the founder's mountain?

There's something I want to check in there.

Dae-so! Young-po!

Help!

Help!

Help!

Mother...

I saved your life!

You don't have any manners, do you?

Since you won't tell me who you are, I'ii tell you who I am.

My name is ju-mong.

I've been keeping it a secret because I couldn't disclose my identity.

I am a prince of buyeo.

Remember me.

I like you.

You're so pathetic.

The da-mul bow is a sacred treasure that

the founder of buyeo kept with him for his whole life in order to establish buyeo.

Any prince of buyeo needs to see the da-mul bow and receive its energy.

Isn't that a bow?

It's the sacred da-mul bow of buyeo.

You came all the way here to see buyeo's sacred treasure?

I once came to the founder's mountain

with dae-so and young-po to see the sacred da-mul bow.

I broke the sacred da-mul bow.

I want to know how I broke the sacred treasure

and whether it was a sign that buyeo will perish.

I wanted to see it for myself again.

General.

This da-mul bow isn't broken.

It's perfectly fine.

Who's there?

That da-mul bow doesn't belong to buyeo. It belongs to the da-mul army and you.

The dae mool bow is not the sacred treasure of buyeo

it's the sacred treasure of gojoseon

take a look at the how's interior

although captain has acquired a sacred treasure

without strong determination

you won't be able to unite a divided country

and consequently you won't receive...

The other two treasures

are there other gojoseon treasures?

There are three pieces of treasure...

That symbolise the gojoseon emperor

which three are they?
