Episode 68.

- You're leaving to build a nation. - Why do you look so mournful?

From now on, forget about your mother.

If I remain a burden to you, you will never find peace in your mind.

Forget everything about buyeo, including his majesty and me.

That's the last thing you can do for me as my son.

Look under the trees and the rocks.

Yes.

- Search that side, too! - Yes.

We even searched the valleys,

but couldn't find her highness ye soya and Yuri's dead bodies.

The sun is about to set.

I think we should...

We can't give up!

I hoped they would be alive, but I guess they're not.

If they're dead, then where are their corpses?

We must find them.

Right, they'll be eaten by wild beasts if we give up.

We must find Yuri's body at least.

What happened?

Did you find their bodies?

We found this near the biryu river.

It's a leather shoe worn by buyeo royalty.

I think this belongs to Yuri.

We couldn't find their bodies because the current is swift.

It's impossible to find the bodies.

Bastards!

Brother! Let's attack buyeo and avenge her highness ye soya and Yuri's death.

I can't stand this anymore!

Let's wipe buyeo out for our general's sake!

Calm down, you two.

What do you mean, calm down?

King geum-wa disregarded our general's goodwill and killed his family.

Do you want to declare a war on buyeo?!

Why not?

Killing lady yoo-hwa is like declaring a war on jol-bon!

We must make a calm and rational decision at a time like this.

Buyeo and the han made an alliance...

If you're scared of the han, then you can stay out of this.

Don't speak to him that way!

Why don't you show some respect?!

What?!

Stop it, everyone!

I'm not as bitter as you are because I'm new here,

but I do know that jol-bon is in trouble.

Why are you guys fighting when we need to cooperate in a time like this?

The soldiers will be disheartened if you fight amongst yourselves.

What did you just say?

She'll get a queen's funeral?

The officers were against it, but his majesty was firm.

The priestesses and the soldiers are already at the founder's mountain

to prepare for the funeral.

Only the past kings and the queens of buyeo can be buried in that mountain.

He's going to keep yoo-hwa's body in there?

Yes, your majesty.

She's mocking me even after her death.

I can't believe his majesty is doing this to me. I can't believe it.

I must talk to his majesty.

Tell him that I'm here.

Forgive me, but you can't.

You wretch!

Move!

Your majesty, you can't go inside.

Your majesty!

Is yoo-hwa really going to have a queen's funeral at the founder's mountain?

I'm the queen! You can't do this to me! You can't do this to me!

My heart was broken after years of suffering because of her!

How can you give my place to yoo-hwa even after her death?!

Your majesty! How can you be so cruel?

Your majesty!

Your majesty!

- Mother! - Your majesty!

Escort her to her chambers.

Brother, aren't you going to do something about this?

If you don't, then I'll talk to his majesty!

Prince...

Move over or I'll kill you!

Father.

Father, it's me young-po.

Can you recognize me?

Father...

What happened, prince?

I feel pity for his majesty.

Mother.

Lady yoo-hwa is the mother of a traitor.

We should hang her head in the streets instead.

Why are we giving her a queen's funeral?

What were you doing?

The people will be angry if they find out that our hostages lady yoo-hwa, ye soya, and Yuri are dead.

I don't want to do it, but this is our only option to satisfy the people.

Mother.

She'll have a queen's funeral now, but I'll chop her head off when I take the throne.

I didn't get to kill ju-mong at the yong-chun tribe, but I'll kill him someday.

Please get well soon.

What happened?

The general is waiting for you.

Go inside.

This is the worst out of all the troubles jol-bon has faced.

If the general doesn't get over his sadness, jol-bon will fall apart.

What happened?

Lady yoo-hwa will have a queen's funeral in the founder's mountain.

Her body is already at the founder's mountain.

King geum-wa will direct the state funeral in five days.

We found this near the biryu river.

I think this is Yuri's leather shoe.

We searched all over the path from buyeo to jol-bon, but we still couldn't find her highness ye soya and Yuri.

They should be here by now if they're still alive, but...

That's enough. That's enough.

You're both dismissed.

I heard you were looking for me.

We're going to the founder's mountain.

Get ready to leave.

General...

Don't tell anyone that I'm going to the founder's mountain.

I know what you want to do, but it's too dangerous.

Get ready to leave.

Where is he going?

Nowhere in particular.

He might want to go to buyeo.

Take good care of him.

Don't worry.

Your majesty, you haven't been eating for days.

Please go to bed.

Your majesty...

Son-ju.

Yes, your majesty.

I'm scared of falling asleep.

It makes me feel suffocated.

Your majesty, I will guard you by your side.

Please go to bed.

I will stay with the lady.

Your majesty...

Song-ju.

Dismiss the guards who are guarding the tent.

Your majesty...

Ju-mong might come here.

If ju-mong does come, don't kill him.

Understand?

Yes, your majesty.

You're all dismissed.

Who will guard his majesty?

I will.

You're all dismissed.

- Let's go. - Yes.

His majesty is waiting for you.

His majesty made me dismiss the guards because you might come.

Go inside.

Hi.

I'm here to take my mother's body.

Please let me take my mother.

She will stay by my side.

Your majesty disregarded my offer to help buyeo and led my mother and soya to death.

If you give her body to me, buyeo and jol-bon won't have to fight.

We will continue to fight until one of us is dead.

Your majesty!

There are buyeo soldiers here who want to kill you.

Pay your respects to her and go back.

Yuri is dead, and I never had a chance to see him.

Do you think I'm scared of death now that my mother, wife and son are dead?

I will take my mother away.

I won't let you.

You'll need to kill me first before you take her.

If you do, then you'll be killed as well.

Are you going to end your life right here?

Say goodbye to yoo-hwa and leave.

Were you out of your mind?

How can you do something so reckless?!

But it was the general's order!

Stop it, you two.

Where's the general?

He said he'll stay at the military camp for now.

He feels guilty about sleeping comfortably.

He must be so sad after losing his family.

We should hold a ceremony for lady yoo-hwa and her highness soya.

Tell the shrine to be prepared.

Yes.

General.

Come in.

I know that words can't ease your sorrow,

but don't forget that the jol-bon people are counting on you.

When my father died, I didn't know that he was my father.

I couldn't save my mother and wife from danger either.

I couldn't even protect the people who are dear to me.

How can I lead the jol-bon people?

Our spy in buyeo told me that lady yoo-hwa was killed while trying to escape

and tell you that prince dae-so is plotting to kill you.

They sacrificed their lives to save you and goguryeo.

I know you won't let her highness ye soya sacrifice end in vain.

I trust you.

You must overcome this.

Over there.

You overcame all trials and unified jol-bon.

You are now qualified to be the master of the sacred treasures.

One of the remaining two treasures will serve you as its master.

Is this armor the treasure?

That's right.

That armor was worn by the old joseon monarchs in the battlefield.

Look inside the wooden crate.

That book contains the ancient joseon iron army's secret.

Where is the last treasure?

You must find that out yourself after unlocking the iron army's secret.

It is now time for me to go.

Is this the joseon iron army's armor?

That's right.

It's not heavy at all!

Anyone can launch a surprise attack after wearing this armor.

But we only have one.

We can't form an iron army with this.

This book contains the joseon iron army's secret.

It's written in codes.

I don't know what it says.

We must decipher the code first.

How is his majesty doing?

Forgive me for saying this, but he's been drunk the entire day.

Commander.

Yes?

Did ju-mong really come to lady yoo-hwa's funeral?

I guess he did.

That was a great chance to kill ju-mong!

Why did you let him live?

I don't have anything to say.

I see. You're dismissed.

His majesty has lost every chance to kill ju-mong.

Come to think of it, his majesty has brought this crisis upon buyeo.

You should govern this country from now on.

He's right.

He acts like a dead man because of a woman.

We can't entrust him with this country.

I can bring this up at the officer's meeting if you want me to.

Ju-mong probably hates buyeo more than ever now that lady yoo-hwa is dead.

If he attacks us, we'll be in trouble.

- General heuk-chi, make sure the borders are well secured with enough soldiers. - Yes.

We should pay immediate attention to pacify the people.

The people are angry

because his majesty has killed our hostage, lady yoo-hwa.

We must now make a decision for buyeo.

A decision?

His majesty is living like a drunken madman.

In order to stop any further disruption in national affairs...

I think prince dae-so should have the right to govern.

What do you think?

That's absurd.

His majesty has already entrusted prince dae-so with governmental affairs.

If you really care for buyeo,

you should assist his majesty without seeking personal gain.

Prime minister, do you think I'm plotting a conspiracy or something?

The people want you to assist his majesty like an upright crown prince.

If you disappoint the people, they won't follow you.

You're right.

I'll be the next king of buyeo, anyway.

There's no need to worry.

I won't act in haste and ruin my legitimacy.

Don't worry.

Did they really talk about making dae-so the acting representative?

Yes, the court minister said that prince dae-so should govern.

But the prime minister smothered up his proposal.

Look at what father is doing.

How long do you think they'll listen to the prime minister?

They'll consider it again, and dae-so will take power.

That's bad news for us.

If that happens, dae-so won't let you be.

I can take action before he does.

Let's go to hyeon-to right away.

I'm going to meet master hwang.

Something fishy is going on with prince dae-so.

He might do something if his majesty doesn't get himself together soon.

They reported the affairs of the royal guards to prince dae-so.

Commander!

What's going on?

They've been telling prince dae-so about what his majesty has been doing.

His majesty's safety will be jeopardized if his own guards can't keep secrets.

Those who challenge his majesty's authority, will be killed.

Punish them severely according to military laws.

Yes.

When mo pal-mo is ready with his armor, we can begin to build the iron army.

Chan-soo, go to Chang-cheon-gok to get iron ore.

- Yang-tak, please assist him with this important task. - Yes.

Why has sa-yong not been seen in many days?

He has kept himself in his room for days.

I just can't seem to figure how to break this code.

All that time and you haven't broken it yet?

Your head is not good enough to break the secret.

You are no help to me at all. Go away! Go away!

Leader, how's it going?

I am ready to give up. I just can't do it.

Just wait a little longer.

What are you saying? No one here knows how to read this.

There's only one person in all of jol-bon who can break the code.

Who is it?

Just wait and find out who it is.

Sa-yong.

It's me.

Come in.

Sa-yong, have something to eat.

If you don't eat, you will get sick.

Are you going to be able to solve the code?

I'm working on it.

Yes...

Why are you looking at me?

Uh... nothing reason...

Ah... sa-yong, if you need anything, I will be waiting outside. Just let me know.

Work hard.

She ran away, but we brought her back.

I treat you very well. Why do you keep running away from me?

Please send be back.

Without a father-in-law, where do you expect to go?

This is my last warning.

If you run away again, then I will kill your son.

- Watch her closely. - Yes.

Master hwang.

Long time, no see.

What brings you to hyeon-to city?

I have something I need to discuss with you.

This is so important that it concerns even my own fate.

Let's go inside.

So you want to take over leadership of buyeo?

Yes, with your help, nothing is impossible.

If prince young-po does not take over, then prince dae-so will.

You know very well about the difficult relationship between prince young-po and prince dae-so.

I understand what you are trying to do, but this isn't an easy matter to decide.

I will think about it.

Leader! Leader!

What is it?

I found a way to decipher the code!

Beginning! Origin! Heaven! Together!

The book I have deciphered is about how to forge iron to make it thin and strong!

Good!

Good!

Did you really find a way to decipher the code?

Yes, mo pal-mo is following the instructions to make the iron armor.

Well done!

Well done!

General!

We got the right weight.

It's very light.

- Oh-yi. - Yes.

Come here. Carry this.

- Here. - Yes.

General, I finally did it!

I knew you'd make it happen.

You must now arm the iron army with iron armors.

Yes.

Jae-sa, mari!

Summon the chiefs immediately for a meeting.

Yes.

General!

You've come.

General, this children here have made something for you.

Oh, aren't you the apprenctices of mo pal-mo?

Yes, they are.

They dedicated the first thing they have made to you general.

Go ahead.

It is a special tonic.

When you put it on your skin, it will help keep you warm.

They invented this so that you will be protected in the cold weather.

This will be a very useful item for our soldiers.

Good job.

Leader, you have some great apprentices.

Aww... you think too highly of me...

Good job.

Good job.

I'm so proud.

Jol-bon has endured many trials,

but we are still determined to build a nation that will stand against the han.

In order to unite the joseon refugees,

we must build a new nation as soon as we can.

We will begin by driving out the remnants of the han from this land.

With the iron army like that of the old joseon,

jol-bon will go to war to drive out the hyeon-to army!

Word has it that to attack hyeon to army

cholbon is preparing to go to war

in hyeon to

how many gojoseon migrants are there'?

Have you checked?

I intend to use them as shields in this battle

before daeso has the chance to strike

I must quickly stage a rebellion

mother

don't send them to the labour camp

we're going to war with cholbon soon

send them to the frontline

let them be shields for our han army

quick, send the soldiers after her!

Prince youngpo is here
