Name your backer. Or I`ll cut off Dae Jungsang`s head!

Go ahead.

-Jungsang! -General!

You will never get the answer you want. So kill me right now. Right here!

How dare you provoke me!

-Die, you bastard! -Stop!

You`re in my house, and salutation is in order.

What`s this violence in my jail house?

I heard that you let Dae Joyoung slip away and you still don`t know who their backer is,

so I came here to interrogate the prisoners despite travel fatigue.

That`s not your concern, so stay out of it!

Whatever do you mean?

I am the one that destroyed the Dongmyoungchun League.

What?

I found and destroyed their training camp in Goguryeo Village!

Not only that, my two subordinates are the ones that exposed their plot. So these are my prisoners!

You think you can say whatever you want just because you have a mouth?

This is Andong Protectorate!

And the protectorate army captured these prisoners! You better watch your tongue!

Now that`s stretching the truth!

Put Dae Jungsang back in his cell!

And anyone running around the compound against my orders will be sunjected to severe punisahment regarless of rank.

-Understood? -Yes, sir!

Get him out!

I have no mercy for those that challenge my authority in my own house.

You have been warned, so be careful.

General, you deserve full credit for bringing down the Dongmyoungchun League!

-You cannot back down, sir! -Back down? Never!

I can never forgive Xue Rengui and the khitans. I will humiliate them and out them in their place!

-Joyoung. -Did you find out.

They`re still alive according to Goguryeoan soldiers.

Guards are everywhere.

We are bound to be spotted being out like this.

We need detailed knowledge about what`s happening in the protectorate. Keep a close contact with the Goguryeoan soldiers.

Got it.

I must see General Xue Rengui. Out of my way.

I can`t let you leave the room without the general`s permission.

-Out of my way I said! -Sire,

Leave us.

Are you happy now? You got what you wanted. Are you happy now?

Congratulations, sire.

What are you talking about?

The Andong Protectorate will soon be yours.

I don`t want it You can have it!

Sire.

The power is in your hands now.

Focus on using the protectorate to revive Goguryeo.

I have one last question to ask you. About King Bojang.

I`m certain he is the Dongmyoungchun League`s backer, but I have no proof.

He is the one?

Is King Bojang the man behind the curtain?

I don`t know.

Are you sure?

I wouldn`t tell you even if I knew. So get out of here.

Very well.

Then I guess there`s nothing I can do.

Did you find out anything from Yeon Namseng?

He denise knowing anything else.

Perhapes he realy doesn`t know who is behind the Dongmyoungchun League.

Are you certain this backer really exists? We could be chasing a phantom.

Yes, I`m certain he exists.

And he is somewhere very close to us.

Li Wen is attempting to take credit for our achievements.

Andpng Protectorate may end up with nothing unless measure are taken.

Something must be done, general.

Li Wen did indeed play a decisive role in the destruction of the Dongmyoungchun League.

Li Wen will crush the protectorate`s reputation along with yours. Not only that,

all hope of acquiring Yingzhou will be lost for us khitans.

There is a solution.

Capture Dae Joyoung.

Li Wen did play an important role in bringin down the Dongmyoungchun League.

But its leader Dae Joyoung is still at large.

Dae Joyoung must be captured in order to add the eyes to a painted dragon with a finishing stroke.

Add the eyes to a painted dragon? I like that.

But how will you dot the eyes when the illusive Dae Joyoung refuses to be captured?

There is a way.

There is?

There`s a way to capture Dae Joyoung?

Execute all of the captured prisoners including Dae Jungsang.

Execute them?

-Just get rid of them after all the trouble it took for us to catch them? -Yes, Khan.

Execute them publicly at the city square.

And you think Dae Joyoung will show up?

He will no doubt come to his father and his comrade`s rescue.

What if he doesn`t?

We will be forced to really kill the prisoners.

Is there a problem with that?

They`re impotant criminals at the center of Tang court`s attention.

If we get rid of them arbitrarily, we will face criticism.

Yes, but Li Wen will lose proof of his accomplishments as well.

Come again? Li Wen will what?

Li Wen contends that they are all his prisoners.

But if we get rid of them, rumors will be all ha has left to prove his feat.

-General, it`s an excellent idea! -Yes, general.

I think you should follow Li Kaigu`s advice.

Execute them? Publicly execute Dae Jungsang

and the Dongmyoungchun League agents?

Your Majesty,

-Did you wish to see me? -I must see Dae Joyoung at once.

Your Majesty, they`re watching your every move.

It`s critical that I speak to him now. There is no time.

But it`s too dangerous.

Palbo,

Yes, Your Majesty.

I need you to be me for a while. I`m being watched.

-General, it`s ,me. -Princess Sukyoung.

-It`s me. -Your Majesty!

-What brings you here at this hour, Your Majesty? -I`ll make this short.

Andong Protectorate has decided to publicly execute the prisoners.

A public execution?

-A public execution instead of sending them of to Tang? -That`s right.

Blasted bastards.....It`s just as well. Let`s just rescu them at the execution.

Don`t you understand?

This is a ploy to get you to show up.

Then what do we do? We can`t leave General Dae Jungsang and the others to die.

That`s out of the question. We have to save them or die trying.

When is the execution?

They will announce it soon enough. My guess is they won`t wait long.

Make no attempt to save them or to stop the execution.

Your Majesty!

This is my final order to you as the King of Goguryeo.

Your Majesty!

-What do you think they will do to us? -Standard protocal dictates that we be sent to Tang.

But Li Wen`s surprise visit has made our fate difficult to predict.

What do you mean? You think Li Wen will kill us?

Li Wen and Xue Rengui have been at odds for quiet some time. We could end up becoming casualties caught in the middle if their

battle.

Is there no chance that we may get out of here alive?

Where there is a will, there is a way. There must be a way for us to escape.

That`s what I been thinking about all along, but it`s impossible for us to escape without outside help.

But Joyoung can`t save us either...

That too would be reckless and impossible.

Then are we to die without trying anything?

Open the cell!

-Get Dae Jungsang out! -Where are you taking him?

Be quiet!

I`m not in a good mood, so be quiet if you don`t want to die.

What are you waiting for? Get him!

-Jungsang! -General!

Leave us.

Sit down.

Here.

We first became rivals in our early twenties, and we reaced neck and neck for very long time.

But here we are now over a drink of consolation From the wine to the loser.

If you`re consolation is sincere,

I have no reason to refuse this drink.

Does that mean you accept your defeat?

I am sitting here as Xue Rengui`s prisoner.

Yes, I like you for your lack of guile.

No lesser man could remain Xue Rengui`s biggest rival for such a long time.

But I am still alive and well.

-It`s too soon to call yourself a winner and celebrate. -Dae Jungsang, my man,

you`re going to die soon enough.

Not just you, but all of your men will be executed at the city square.

I know I`m going to miss you so I called you for a drink.

You`re trying to lure my son and his sworn brothers.

That`s low- using a son`s love for his father to capture him.

Oh, you got me there.

But this fight will not end without Dar Joyoung.

When Dae Joyoung is captured, only then Goguryeo`s long and drawn out resistance to Tang will finally be put to an end.

You couldn`t be more wrong. We will not die that easily.

The flame of Goguryeo`s revival will not be snuffed out.

That flame has already been snuffed out, my man.

The announcement will be made tomorrow, and we will proceed with the execution.

I can`t wait to see what happens.

Will Dae Joyoung jump into the fire and die to save his father?

Or will he ignore it all together to save himself?

Or will he surprise us all, save you and the others and get away?

Just know one thing,

Don`t cheer victory just because I`m dead and my men are dead.

The flames of Goguryeo`s revival will never die out no matter what you do.

All oceans in the world may run dry, but the sporot of Goguryeo willl never die.

Yes, I don`t expected any less.

After all, you`re the last warriors of Great Goguryeo!

And Xue Rengui`s biggest and most formidable foe. I wouldn`t expect any less.

Now let`s drink.

-What`s that? -What!

There going to execute the Dongmyoungchun League members!

They`re going to kill General Dae Jungsang too!

And there`s nothing Dae joyoung can do this time since he`s ;ost all of his men!

Oh, no!

Those poor men!

-Are you ready for the execution? -Yes, sir.

The prisoners will be brought out and kill at noon tomorrow.

I`m conccerned.

Concerned? About what?

Dae Joyoung and his sworn brothers Heuk Sudol and Gulsabiwu, the three of them have once rescued

over twenty thousand Goguryeoan refugees.

-They are sure to come up with another brillian plan. -Dae Joyoung has repeated gotten the better of us.

If we fail to capture him...

Listen, do you know how many men we have?

I don`t care how good they are. There`re only three of them!

Yes, but....

After all that Dae has put us through, I don`t blame you for being concerned.

But he`s helpless this time.

This is old Goguryeo territory.

Did you forget how dae attacked the protectorate in Pyongyang Fort?

He had incited the public to turn against us.

Who is to say he won`t try that again?

That`s why we`re placing the Goguryeoan soldiers at the execution.

Goguryeoan soldiers? Oh, the forcefully recruited boys?

Yes, general.

If we use them to control the public, the people won`t be quick to rise up.

That`s good idea.

Who would turn violent against their own?

If Dae Joyoung shows up tomorrow, we can take full credit

for destroying the Dongmyoungchun league.

And even if he doesn`t, all trace of the Dongmyoungchun League will be eliminated, so we have nothing to lose.

Yes, let`s do it!

I won`t let Li Wen take credit for what we`ve accomplished.

I`m sorry, Geumlan...

I`ve out you through so much and now this....

I have no regrets about meeting you, master.

I wish I had never met you...

If I had know I would be cutting your life short at such a young age. I would have never brought you into this...

It`s all my fault.

Blame me for everything, Geumlan.

I gave my life, to you and your cause a long time ago, master.

I have no fear, regrets or resentment of any kind.

I`m just glad I can serve you to the end.

I shall leave you to talk.

Your Majesty...

Are you intent on defying my order?

Are you going to attempt a rescue?

My brothers and I have made our decision.

How many time must I reapet?

This is a set up to capture you!

If I should avoid their trap and survive alone, that would be punishment worse than death.

Then what is this incompetent man supposed to do?

Your Majesty....

I`m begging you.

Please stay away from the execution.

I will kneel before you if that`s what you want. Please don`t let them take your precious life in vain.

Yourr Majesty,

I lost my mother to an execution when I was young. She was brutally executed right before my eyes.

I was young and powerless back then, and all I could do was to weep in silence.

But the guilt pierced through my bones, and my mother`s death remains

as the most painful memory to this day.

And now you`re asking me to let my father die the same way.

How could I look away when my father`s head is put under the executioner`s cold swrod?

I can`t.

I don`t want to hold his lifeless body in my arms with agonizing regret like I did with my mother.

I would rather die with him so we can join my mother together, You Majesty.

Your Majesty....!!

Stay away.

Futile death is impiety and disloyalty as well.

Joyoung, please stay away tomorrow.

I will be with your mother again, so I have no fear of this death.

Joyoung, please don`t let me see you at my execution.

Don`t worry about me, and start over womewhere far away.

Don`t end your life in vain. Plan a new start.

Joyoung...

Father...

Father...

Your Majesty.

Why aren`t you in bed?

I coudn`t sleep knowing how deeply trouble you are.

Sukyoung,

Yes, Your Majesty.

I had never given up hope of reviving Goguryeo until now.

I had vowed to bounce back, and restore the eoyal line of Goguryeo with my own hands.

But perhaps its time to give up.

What do you mean, Your Majesty? Give up?

I may have been chasing my own obsession and ambition.

If I sacraficed myself,

if I sacrificed my ambition, I may be able to renew hopes of the people.

You speak in riddles, Your Majesty.

I want you to leave the commandery at first light and go into hiding.

Your Majesty!

I don`t know what kind of power I have left.

All I can say is that I will do everything I can to save the people I love.

Your Majesty,

there is no one left that can help you right now.

I wish I could have found you a good man to marry...

Your Majesty...

Get all the prisoners associated with the Dongmyoungchun League out of the cell!

-Aye! -Get them out!

Move!

General! General!

Get them out! All of them!

Where are you taking my prisoners?

They`re going to be executed.

Executed?

Why you! They are prisoners that I caught! They are my prisoners!

Who gave you permission to execute them?

We`re still fighting a battle with the Dongmyoungchun League.

What are you talking about? They`ve been completely obliterated!

Dae Joyoung is still at large.

We are conducting an operation to bring him in.

So stay out of the way, or you will be charged with aiding the enemy!

Are you threatening me?

I have no time for this so get out of my way.

General,

they`re trying to eliminate all of your prisoners!

-You can`t let them do this, sir! -Of course not!

if they indeed kill the prisoners without approval of the inperial house,

they better be ready for some serious consequeces.

But what if they do succeed in capturing Dae Joyoung this time?

Andong Protectorate will take credit for everything and all of our hard work will go up in smoke!

We can`t let that happen. Never....

Kneel!

King Bojang, please announce the execution to the public.

We`re addressing the Goguryeoans it`s only fitting that you speak.

Before you are merciless and evil assassins...

that took innocent lives...

and threatened the peace in Liaodong Fort!

Accordingly, Andong Protectorate and Liadong Commandery...

have gathered to announce their crimes and deliver punishment by death.

thereby showing that justice and righteousness is still alive,

so baer witness to their death!

Do you think Dae Joyoung will show?

He has to be out there somewhere watching this roght now.

Yes..Please show up.

Please show up, Dae Joyolung....

Proceed with the execution!

Proceed with the execution!

Next!

Long Live Dongmyoungchun! Long live Great Goguryeo!

Next!

Stop!

We`ll be here all say at the rate you`re going! I will do this mtself!

What`s gotten into King Bojang?

-He must have a lot of built-up anger toward them. -What?

Thank you...for your hard work.

My final wish, Your Majesty... Let us die in your hands.

Take my life first, Your Majesty.

Your Majesty....

Here me, proud Goguryeoans!

I am King Bojang, the last King of Goguryeo, and the founder and leader of the Dongmyounchun League...

My good people.

look at these brave men and remember.

The Goguryeo Dynasty may have been cut short, but the history of the land lives on!

Tell your children and your grandchildren--

we have not been defeated,

We resisted to the very end!

Let them know that we fought to the last droop of blood!

What the heck is that drunk saying?

Xue Rengui and the enemies of Goguryeo, pay attention!

What?

I sought to have even one of you killed, but it`s my deepest regret that I failed!

What? You traitor!

But my people saw it clearly.

You hid like a scared rats, and trembled in fear of the Dongmyoungchun League.

Silent , you guileful bastard! What are you waiting for?

Observe the wrath of Goguryeo and deliver these words to the Emperor of Tang!

Goguryeo is not dead.

Goguryeo will live forever with its people!

What are you waiting for? Get him!

It`s Dae Joyoung!

Yes, it`s Dae Joyoung! Dae Joyoung!

What are you doing you idiots! Kill the prisoners! Kill them all!

Those guards!

They are forcefully recruted Goguryeoans!

-Father! -Joyoung I`m all right!

Take the prisoners and go! Now!

Go! Go!

Over there! Get that man! Get King Bojang! King Bojang!

Your Majesty, you must go!

-No, you go! Now! -Your Majesty! No!

Where are the others? My Father, Mimosa Master Jang and my Uncle.

-What happend to the others? -They went in another direction.

-We can`t stay in a large group like this either -We can`t shake them off our tail.

We have to split up.

There`s an abondoned house on the otheside of the mountain. We will meet there..

Got it.

Split up!

Don`t follow the ravine or you`re sure to be captured! Follow the mountain ridge instead!

-Now go! -Split up!

Ge--general...

What happened to the king? General Dae Jungsang and Princess Sukyoung-what happened to the others?

They took them to Andong Protectorate.

You mean they didn`t make it out?

No...General....

This can`t be... This can`t be! After all this...!
