-General Li Wen took Dae Joyoung to Mt. Guifu slave camp? -Yes, Your Highness.

Her Highness declared that the court will deal with Dae Joyoung!

Dae Joyoung has committed atrocious crimes against the empire.

-He deserves punishment befitting of his crimes! -I agree, Your Highness.

It is an appropriate action considering Dae Joyoung`s crimes.

You forbade General Li from executing the prisoner, and he sent the prisoner to die on his own.

-This is an act of defiance against your authoruty. -No, Your Highness.

That`s a ridiculous accusation.

-Look! -Stop.

That`s enough.

I have much to attend to on behalf of the Emperor.

I will allow General Li Wen to handle the matter of Dae Joyoung.

Punish the criminal without losing public respect.... General Li found a wise solution.

-I have called the two of you to make a request. -A request, Your Highness? No, Your Highness.

Give us you order.

We will obey whatever you desire.

I have a son, Who was recently displaced from the seat of the Crown Prince.

I like you, General Li Kaigu, to assum the roll of Chief bodyguard for my son Li Xian.

I will obey your command, Your Highness.

Chulin, he will no doubt benefit from your close assistance.

Your wish is my command.

Protect my son and take well care of him.

He may have been displaced, but the Emperor`s and my most treasured son.

Wayward forces are beguiling him, so it is my duty to place trustworthly men to protect him.

What happened, sir? Did she grant a high post?

-We`ve been assigned to protect Prince Li Xian. -The deposed Crown Prince Li Xian?

That`s right, Sir Shin.

The Empress gave you a very difficult problem to solve.

A difficult problem to solve?

What the Empress is really asking you to do here is to watch the prince.

She`s telling us to ferret out the officials inciting the prince to plot treason against her!

There`s no doubt about it.

But....

What is it?

Not only does Li Xian dislike outsiders, but he has already killed several men that the Empress sent to watch him.

You mean she`s sending us to our death?

She could be testing your ability.

What is it?

Go ahead without me.

I`ll be right there.

-Go with her. -Yes, sir.

What is it, my lady?

Do you know what they`re going to do with Princess Sukyoung?

No, I don`t.

You`ll be staying here from now on.

How dare you! Take your hands off of me!

What? How dare you?

You`re a servent now, so act like it!

Your Grace!

"Your Grace"?

I ought to just...!

This is all.

Make them do all the laundry from the main palace. And make certain they get no help.

-Is that clear? -Yes, ma`am.

-Are you all right. Your Grace? -Yes, I`m all right.

Check if we`re being watched.

There`s no one out there.

Youe Grace,

See if we can get food and medicine for the King with this.

I know how it is in the palace.

Older, less powerful palace maids may be bought off.

Alright.

I`ll do everything I can.

And find out about what happened to General Dae Joyoung as well.

Try not to worry so much about General Dae.

I`m sure Master Mimosa and General Dae Jungsang will get him out somehow.

Welcome. I`m writing an old poem.

This is no time to be writing poems.

Running around outside isn`t going to change anything either.

Do you even have the desire to get my brother out?

We have to do something, wheter it`s using politics like you said

or just going in there and getting them out.

You can`t drink dirt no matter how thirsty you are.

I will have an idea when I`m done thinking, so go back and be patient.

Why are you watching us?

You`ve been watching us day and night.

Are you afraid we might betray Goguryeo and leave?

I have considered that option.

The man we vowed to serve is King Bojang, not Dae Joyoung.

Now that the King is gone, we have no reason to stay.

On top of that,

if you can`t trust us and leave us alone...

Please help us, Mimosa.

We can`t save my brothers without you.

If you leave us, we will have to give up all hope.

From what I`ve learned, Mt. Guifu slave camp is occupied mainly by fugitives of Beakje, Shilla and Goguryeo.

The fugitives that you sent to Tang were all sent here to die.

And when they die, they are not even identified.

Getting General Dae out from outside is not an easy task.

It will require time and great effort.

And no one knows what might happen in the camp in the meantime. If Li Wen sets his mind to it, he can kill General Dae and no one would even know about it.

That`s my main concern right now.

Who knows what might happen in that hellhole?

I hope and pray that he stays alive until we can get to him.

Move it! Move it!

Hustle...you fool!

Welcome, General.

I appreciate the trouble.

These are the prisoners.

Which of you killed Captain Wugol?

You`re the one.

You don`t have a name here,

Forget who you are and what you`ve done.

You eat when you are told to and answer when you are called. You will not ask any questions or talk without permission.

Work to the death that`s all you`re here to do.

I hope you feed the prisoners well since they have to work so hard.

I can`t work if I`m hungry.

Sure, I`ll feed you.

Move out of the way! Move!

Get off of me, you fool!

-Joyoung, are you all right? -General...!

Joyoung, please open your eyes.

I`m...I`m...all right.

I`m sorry...I shouldn`t have.

They beat you because of me....

Move it!

Move it, old man!

Are you all right? Old man! Old man!

-Old man! Get up! -Get up and work!

Get up and work! Get up and work!

Joyoung!

What`s this bell?

Out of the way! Out of the way!

I suggest you get in there and eat.

You only get one chance to eat per day. Only the strong get to eat.

If you eat you have the strength to fight for the food the next day and if you don`t, you are too weak to ever eat again.

Then one day you disappear in the middle of the night.

Disappear? You mean they`re executed?

No,

they leave you out there in the woods of Mt. Guifo to die.

Mt. Guifu?

-What do you mean? -That`s all I know,

but Mt. Guifu is our graveyard.

So eat when you have the strength. If you don`t,

you may never get the chance again.

Who is that blasted fool?

This place is not for the living. This is hell on earth.....

We are in hell.

-Is that true? -Yes, sir.

I saw him with my own eyes.

Put the pen and paper away now.

Yes, master.

Welcome, general.

By these writings, it looks like you`ve been quite troubled as well.

Yes,

but I was just about to put the pen and paper away.

Does this mean you`re ready to take action?

Yes,

The man that I was waiting dor has come back.

The man?

-The man that may be able to help us. -who si this man?

Yuanwai General and provincial governor Heichi Changzhi bid you humble greetings, Your Highness.

Welcome, General Heichi. I`ve eagerly awaited you return.

Thank you for your warm reception.

Reports of your victories have done more than you know.

You`ve brought honor to the imperial house and glory to the people of Tang.

All is His Highness the Emperor and Your Highness the Empress`s favor.

Behold the great general Heichi Changzhi!

He`s back after subjugating the Tubo bandits that gravely threatened our border region.

I couldn`t be more proud. Aren`t you proud, gentlement?

It`s an impressove feat that will be remembered by history.

Yes, Your Highness.

His tremendous achivements are recognized by all.

I want you to stay near me for a while. You don`t know how glad I am that you are back.

Thank you, Your Highness.

Heichi Changzhi....

He was a celebrated warrior of Beakle origin who held a flawless record of consecutive vitories in countless military campaigns

subsequent to his surrender to Tang.

Heichi had now made a triumphant return to Chang`an after a huge victory against the Tibetans at Liangle River.

Later he helped Empress Wu Zerian strengthen the foundation of her power and lived a heroic life.

rising to the rank of Great General. As Heichi Changzhi entered the scene,

It was uncertain what role he would play in saving Dae Joyoung`s life.

At this rate, the palace is going to be crawling with barbarians!

What did I tell you? I said all of us the civil officials must wake up and work together!

It`s not too late.

We must come together and stop the barbarians from invading the palace.

Goodness......

I can tolerate Xue Rengui, but now we have Li Kaigu,

and this time Beakje warrior Heichi Changzhi!

By the way, why isn`t General Li Wen back yet?

I think he is intent on staying until he sees dae Joyoung dead.

Dae Joyoung is already as good as dead. There is no time for this!

Please sent word, and have him come back to Chang`an immediately.

-We need him to make a decision and go forward. -Yes, I`ll do that.

I`ve had enough of the barbarians running amok of the palace!

Your Highness,

the civil officials are gathered discussing their disapproval for your emplayment of Li Kaigu and Heichi Changzhi.

I intend to bring even more non-Chinese talent on board.

Your Highness,

the official may go beyond disapproval and conspire treason.

The Emperor is in critical condition right now.

Soon the civil officials will gather consensus and attempt to restore the displace Crown Prince who supports and protects them.

We cannot let that happen under any circumstances.

I briefly gave them my support because I want their cooperation.

If I hadn`t, they would have opposed everything I attempted to do.

What you can do for me, my dear nephew, is to seek out warriors of different ethnicity who will give their lives for me.

Do you understand?

Yes, Your Highness.

Check to see if Hid Majesty`s herbal potion is ready. I will take it to him myself.

Yes, Your Highness.

-Who are you and why are you blocking the general`s path? -We would like to have a word with General Heichi.

How dare you!

-Do you know who you`re talking to? -Wait.

You look familiar. Do you know me?

I once built ships in Beakje Fort. My name is Mimosa.

Mimosa?

Mimosa of Beakje Fort?

Then you`re...!

I knew your granfather well.

He was a great man.

My grandfather talked frequently about you as well, General.

I thought I heard somewhere that you were helping the Goguryeoans.

Actually, that is why I am here.

Goguryeo revival movement was lead by the Dongmyoungchun League.

Yes, I know.

They made quitea stir here in Chang`an.

Save General Dae Joyoung for us.

Dae Joyoung?

Your asking me to save the leader of the Dongmyoungchun League?

Yes, sir.

He`s in Mt. Guifu slave camp right now.

You have some nerve.

-What makes you think I can save a criminal of high treason? -That`s why I`m begging you.

I want you to leave now.

I neither have the influence, nor the desire to get involved in a matter that concerns Goguryeo.

This is not just about Goguryeo. This is about revival of Brakje as well.

I do undestand why you helped Dae Joyoung. But King Bojang has been captured, and saving Dae won`t change anything.

General, you must reconsider.

Times have change now. Goguryeo and Beakje are gone foever.

If you truly care about Beakje, think about the countless Beakje fugitives that have been brought to this land.

The only way to help them is by earning respect of the Tang court. That`s the only way to restore Beakje`s honor.

General...

Use your brilliant mind to rise in the world and gain fame. You will have my full support if you choose that path.

General!

-General, -Where is Mimosa?

-Did he meet with Heichi Changzhi? -He sent word that

he will be staying in Heichi Changzhi`s estate for a while.

-It must not be going well. -It seems that way, General.

I guess he is going to stay there and try to persuade him.

It can`t be an easy task. Winning him over will take time.

General, let me go to Mt.Guifu.

What?

Something might happen to Joyoung in there before we can get to him.

So you`d walk in there of your own free will?

I can`t leave Heuk Sudol and Mapal to protect him. I have to be by his side.

I undestand how you feel.

But it`s reckless and foolish to walk into a place that no one comes out alive.

But if Joyoung and Sudol die in there, I have no reason to live either.

Biwu...

The three of us had vowed to live and die together. So please let me go, general.

You are my son too.

I`ve already sent two of my sons into the jaws of death. How could I risk losing you as well?

General....

Heaven is so cruel....

First he took my wife and my country, and now he demands my children!

What is a man to do?

Move! Move out of my way!

Here, don`t take too much . Everyone has to share.

-Young man! -Yes, here.

Here, Joyoung!

You have to eat first, brother. You didn`t get any.

I`m okay.

That brotherly love is still alive I see.

-Stand these two up facing each other. -Yes, General!

I thought you were warned.

You don`t have an identity here. Did I hear you say "Brother"?

Slap you brother in the face.

What?

You blasted bastard! Never!

Stop! Stop the beating!

Stand him up straight.

Now strike your brother in the face.

No, I`d die first before I hit my brother!

Then you will die.

Sudol, strike me.

I`ll kill myself first. I could never strike you!

Don`t be stupid. Just do it!

Just go ahead and kill me!

I change my mind. I`ll kill you brother instead.

What?

Now will you strike him?

I`m all right, Sudol.

You better hit him with all you`ve got, or he is still going to die.

Joyoung,

Do I have to show you his blood?

Joyoung....!

Harder! Hit him harder!

Harder! Harder!

Stop.

You`re not allowed to help anyone in here.

And if I ever catch you calling him brother again, you will have to beat him until he`s dead.

Let`s go!

Joyoung....! Joyoung...!

I`m so sorry! What have I done?

Get up and hit me, Joyoung!

General...!

Joyoung...!

Sudol...I`m...all right.

There was a guard captain named Wugol here a while back. Do you by chance know who killed him?

The rumors is he died in a fighting match. Do you know who killed him?

No,

Don`t do anything foolish.

If you attempt to break out or change things around here, you`ll regret it.

If nothing changes, everyone in here will die.

First we have to eliminate people from dropping out of the food line.

Do you think that`s possible?

All of the prisoners have to come together to survive.

There`re prisoners here from Goguryeo, Beakje, Shilla, Turkic tribes and Khitan tribes.

We can never come together.

-We are all human beings no matter where we come from. -That`s were you`re wrong.

We are not human beings.

We became animals fighting for survival the moment we set foot in here.

Take my advice.

Eat when you can.

That`s the only way to survive in here.

Are there any problems having Goguryeo, Beakje and Shilla prisoners in one place?

They dislike each other, so it`s actually easier to control them.

They couldn`t possibly like each other having battled for so many yeard on that tiny land.

General,

-A message from Chang`an, sir. -A message?

It`s from Lord Zhao Wenhui.

What is it, sir?

Li Kaigu as Chief Bodyguard for Prince Li Xian?

The political situation has taken a disturbing turn. I`m afraid I`m going to have to go back.

Don`t worry about anything here, sir.

Get rid of Dae Joyoung, Heuk Sudol and Mapa when you get the chance.

There could be problems if we get our hands dirty, so get the Beakje and Shilla prisoners to do it.

I understand, sir.

Now that Dae Joyoung has been dealt with, the Empress is the problem...

She`s trying to use the barbarians to put a shield around her....

I am your highness`s new chief of bodyguards Li Kaigu. Forgive me for the delay in coming to see you.

That`s quite all right.

My name is Chulin.

I will be serving you with General Li Kaigu.

Turn you head to the right.

Go on.

Chulin is my wife.

She is quite a beauty. I like women.

That`s the reason why I was thrown out of the palace.

I dare say she`s one of the prettiest women I`ve seen in Chang`an.

It`s a shame to waste such a beauty in the border country.

Don`t worry.

I don`t care for married women no matter how beautful they are.

Li Kaigu, was it?

I heard a lot about you.

The two of us will be your shadow from now on.

Do you drink?

I don`t enjoy drinking.

Boring, so boring!

I like to have fun.

Then do you at least have any interesting stories to tell?

Ah, here`s a good topic; Dae Joyoung. I`ve been fascinated by that character lately.

Is it true that you fought an exciting battle with him in Liaodong?

Tell me about your encounter with Dae Joyoung.

Oh, my stomach!

-My stomach is killing me! -What is it?

It`s my stomach.

-I think I have to go. -Be quick!

Stop! Stop for a moment!

What is this?

I`m hungry! Get out of the way!

If all of us share this food, no one in this camp will have to die.

Cut the quack!

-Share the food that`s not enough to begin with? -It belongs to whoever gets to it first!

What? Is that how you feel?

All right then. Get a taste of this!

What`s this?

It`s shit!

Turn around and look behind you!

We may have been born in different places,

but all of us are here because we fought against Tang. In here, we are all friends and brothers.

But for a little more food, we`re ignoring the brothers that are dying right next to us.

No, we are killing our brothers to fatten ouselves!

Shut up!

There`s nothing but survival in this place!

Don`t you realize why they are feeding us this way?

This is not even close to being enough for all of us. This is a ploy to keep us divided!

True , True!

We can`t be fighting each other. Not in here.

If all of us join hands and work together we can break out of here!

We already lost our homes and country! Unity won`t change anything!

We were fine before you came along and now you ruined our food!

Do you think you can get away with what you`ve done? You`ll pay for this.

Don`t do this!

If we eat a little less and share with others, none of us will have to die!

Shut up!

The old and the weak are dying anyway. We can`t starve oueselves for them!

Stay back! Stay back!

I will not be forgiving either.

You ruined our food,

so we`ll have to eat you instead.

Blasted bastards....

Joyoung, I don`t think we`re getting through to them.

Don`t come any closer.

Fine, then. Have it your way!

If you`re going to do nothing but hurt your brothers and obstruct unity.

I will teach you a lesson and set you straight! Attack! All of you! Now!
