~ FINAL EPISODE ~

Your Majesty!

You will pardon me,

but allow me to carry you.

Our people are watching.

I can walk to my chamber.

Yes. All right.

Look, over there, that star!

Ohh... Ohh?! That's right!

Your Majesty!

Your Majesty!

Your Majesty.

Your Majesty!

Your Majesty.

Be quiet.

Quiet...

- Bring the carriage at once! - Yes!

What on earth is going on?

A star has fallen! A star has fallen!

A star has fallen towards the capital.

That can only signify our enemy's incoming downfall!

Divine providence has abandoned the capital,

and blood will be shed there!

The heavens are on our side!

For a new Shilla!

For Sangdaedeung Lord Bidam... Hurrah!

Hurrah! Hurrah!

I will become this country.

I will gain control of this country,

and then, Deokman,

gain you as well.

Your Majesty!

Wouldn't a treatment suffice?

But... Your Majesty!

That will be all. You may leave.

Now!

Yes, Your Majesty...

Your Majesty.

What is bothering you?

May you keep lying down, Your Majesty.

No.

I know this malady.

Lying down will only make it worse.

Your Majesty.

How long have you been afflicted by this, and what is it?

Your Majesty. May you tell me.

The very first night after I left the Taklamakan Desert to return home.

Yes?

I had a dream that night.

I was maundering about in search of Munno, back then.

Munno? You said Munno?

You know him?

He retired into a temple, last I've heard.

Temple?

What temple?!

He became a hermit living on the Taebaek Mountains.

Ohh... Right.

They say he rode the clouds, flying about.

What is wrong with you?

Who are you? Look...

Let me go!

She embraced me, tears flowing down her face.

But...

Countless moons later, I had that same dream last night.

Who could she have been,

that lady?

Your Majesty.

I was asking about your ailments.

Who was she, Your Majesty?

Who knows...

I can't really say.

I cannot recall her visage.

Chief Marshal.

Yes, Your Majesty.

I give you my consent to execute this plan of yours.

Do it tonight.

Your wish is my command.

What?

What... What is that supposed to mean?

I only learned it not long ago.

How... How could this...

As she did not want her condition to be known at this juncture,

she seems to have ordered the physician to keep it secret.

But my desire to abdicate the throne...

and quietly spend my final days with him,

that last dream of mine...

was sincere.

Before any other nobles join forces with the enemy at Myeonghwalsan Fortress,

we must end the hostilities and limit casualties as much as possible.

Myeonghwalsan Fortress's east, west, south and north.

We will attack the fortress from the four corners at the same time.

Then, is it a feint operation?

If we're creating a diversion, which side will do it?

There is no diversion.

We will all attack at once, from every corner.

East, west, south and north.

Once the four main gates are open,

I will lead the main force and attack the fortress from the front.

The enemy will try to resolve hostilities right away.

Yes, before more nobles join our cause,

they will attempt to end it all with a crushing blitz.

Protecting Myeonghwalsan Fortress will result in our triumph.

We will defend it until Lord Hoyun and all the other nobles join us.

Yes. Even the troops dispatched to the secret palace are on their way here.

Yes. By the morrow, an additional five thousand troops will join our force.

Our total force will approach the twenty thousand,

so we have significant chances of success.

See how they gather?

Coming to Seorabeol was the perfect idea!

Until all the troops have joined us,

do not let the enemy provoke you, and staunchly defend your posts.

The time between tonight and the morrow will be decisive.

If we can resist for the next two days, the tide will move our way.

Lord Alcheon will lead our attack against this defense stronghold.

I received Her Majesty's consent.

Right as Lord Alcheon subjugates this area,

Imjong, Deokchung, Bakeui and Wolya...

will attack their respective sides at the same time.

But, how can that be possible?

Based upon your suggestions,

once their defense stronghold falls, our forces would commence an attack...

from the four sides, but how can we give a signal to the troops...

fighting all over the four corners to attack at the same time?

Yes. A bugle would be heard by the enemy,

and a fire arrow wouldn't be visible from the fortress's rear.

Is there any signal that cannot be detected by the enemy,

but at the same time reach our forces on the four corners?

Because of that fallen star, our troops' morale is in dire straits.

We will push that star back into the sky.

That is your signal.

It's the enemy! To your posts!

That way! Stop them!

Get ready.

Yes.

Sangdaedeung!

We received word that our defense stronghold is being attacked.

- What? - Uh?!

- What did you say? - What?

Our defense stronghold is being attacked?

Yes. It's an ambush by the crossbow unit.

We noticed enemy movements around the riverbank and the east side as well.

What is this? Are they attacking us from the four corners?

It's a feint operation.

They plan to surround the fortress and attack it.

Or they might be trying to target the rear.

We must deploy our troops immediately!

No!

They're trying to agitate us.

You must not let the movements of anyone but Yushin's main force concern you.

If we can resist until the morrow, victory shall be ours.

Lord Bojong, Lord Piltan.

We shall not deploy a single man.

Reinforce the fortress's defenses,

and continue reporting on the enemy movements around the premises.

- Yes, we will. - Yes, we will.

Sangdaedeung!!

Sangdaedeung...

Out there... Out there!

That star!

It's headed for the capital!

It's going back to its previous location!

What is that? Isn't that a star?!

How can a fallen star return to its original spot?

My... My...

It's a kite.

Just a kite.

A kite?!

They just set fire to a kite and pushed it over there.

It's a fabrication.

Then... Is it to affect our troops' morale?

No! It's a signal. A military one!

It's to divert our troops' attention.

Open the gates! Now!

Yes!

Sangdaedeung.

They penetrated the eastern gates.

Sangdaedeung!

Sangdaedeung!!

Enemy troops led by Bakeui and Deokchung infiltrated our southern gates.

Uh?! Even the southern gates?!

What on earth is all this?

Immediately transfer troops to the eastern and southern gates,

and lure the enemy towards the western gates.

I will lead the troops firsthand and head there.

Yes!

Yes!

Santak.

What happened... What is going on?

Your Excellency.

There is no time to squander, you must hasten.

We must leave the fortress immediately.

Indeed. They penetrated both south and east,

so it is only a matter of time before the fortress falls.

Lord Hoyun's troops will be standing by at Giseonjae.

Head to the northern gates, and find a way to escape.

All right.

Lord Bidam.

We must hasten out of here, for starters.

After our escape, we can join Lord Hoyun's troops,

and crush the enemy at the Dangsan Plains.

Let's go.

What is the matter?

Rat bastard...

Royal Palace guard...

Heuksan!

Found out?!

Commander, the gates are open.

Annihilate the enemies of our nation!

Behead those treacherous miscreants!

You were behind it all, weren't you?

It was all your doing!

That's your biggest flaw.

Making excuses every single time.

I was the one who killed Munno.

I was the one who staged that insurrection.

And now I'm the one who pointed his blade at Her Majesty as well?!

Even without my help, you would have slain Munno...

to make that book yours.

Silence!

Even without my help!

You would have done anything to gain Her Majesty, wouldn't you?

Shut that vile gob of yours!

What have you done for the last ten years?

You did all you could to gain power at other people's expense.

And why?

Because Munno abandoned you?!

To fulfill Mishil's final injunctions?

Because I inveigled and instigated you? Surely not!

It all came from inside here. Uh?

It was your desire to become King, to gain everything!

That...

is only what you believe. It is not the real me.

- I merely... - Ahhh!

Devotion.

So you were so drunk with devotion that everything went astray, I suppose?!

Sure...

And all I did was giving you a little support of my own.

But, tell me. Had that devotion been requited,

would that have changed anything at all?

No.

You still would have staged an insurrection.

And why? Because you felt uneasy.

Worried about when Her Majesty could abandon you, and just give up.

Fear created mistrust.

That's whom you've always been.

It's not "I should trust her," but "when will she stop trusting me?"

"When will she abandon me?"

That's all you think about.

Stop it!

But... You know that?

That Her Majesty,

until the very end, trusted you?

You were the one who did not trust her,

and the only one who let this sway you.

What ruined this devotion of yours...

was neither Her Majesty nor me.

It was...

none other than you.

Bidam.

What?

It is...

not me.

Sangdaedeung! Sangdaedeung!!

We must hasten. Right now...

Deok...

I said...

it wasn't me.

Out of the way.

Slay me as well.

And I thought you took after my sister...

How foolish could I be?

I trusted you would be the one to herald the advent of our triumph!

How miserable an aspiration...

My sister was mistaken about you as well.

Triumph...

Borne out of Mishil's purpose,

and raised for Munno's purposes.

Was that triumph not your sole purpose?

My sister abandoned you,

and Munno showed no affection for you.

And for we were an impediment to that devotion of yours...

Listen, Bid...

Hyeongjong.

So you still want to deny you weren't the one who ruined that devotion?

You are the only one who can bring destruction upon yourself.

Nobody, no one can do that in your stead.

You were the cause of your own downfall.

You pitiful man...

And why do you tell me that only now?

I did! My sister did as well!

Lord Seolwon did, too.

And me as well.

The entire creation said it.

You just chose not to listen.

We gained control of Myeonghwalsan Fortress,

and are ferreting out the enemy's remnants.

Yes. Still no traces of Bidam, Hajong, Misaeng and Bojong.

Seems like they escaped at the last minute.

They will not have penetrated the encirclement.

Rummage Mounts Nang, Muhwa and Myeonghwal,

and find them at all cost.

Yes!

Your Majesty.

Yes. Go ahead.

Once we apprehend Bidam, what do you plan to do with him?

Are you concerned?

That I might spare his life.

Your Majesty. It is not that...

I already proclaimed him as enemy of the state,

and ordered his execution.

Why are you asking me again?

~ Mishil's Tomb ~

Uncle.

You regret it, right?

What regret?

I was born a real man, and witnessed the birth of a hundred sons,

living with countless companions.

I basked in the manifold talents providence accorded me,

enjoyed power and authority like no one before.

And I saw it disappear under my eyes.

It was quite the journey.

A most intriguing one...

I really envy you.

Are you not Yushin's father-in-law?

I suppose he will grant you survival.

Will he?

Here they come.

Traitors, accept your orders!

But... this leads to Her Majesty's encampment.

So?

No... I mean...

If you go this way, they'll capture you.

Yes. They probably will.

You may leave.

Uh?!

Me? Where to?

I mean... What are you going to do?

There might be an encirclement,

but you will be able to escape.

Leave for a far,

faraway place.

Forget this all,

forsake the blade,

and instead use sickle and hoe.

Why are you telling me that?

I have something left to say,

to someone I could not tell those words yet.

I will go convey those words.

But, if you do so...

Let us go together, Your Excellency.

Go.

Now.

Your Excellency...

Find refuge!

Traitor Bidam, accept your orders!

The man who slays me will be lauded by the pages of history.

Come!

Your Majesty!

Just as you suggested,

Bidam appeared near the encampment.

So? Did you apprehend him?

He did not abide by those orders, and is engaging in fierce resistance.

Bidam.

It is all over.

Stop murdering people,

and come with me.

Yushin.

Is it her?

Is that...

where Her Majesty is?

Bidam.

Enough with that.

With that feeble and fragile devotion only people can foment,

what a most innocent dream you are aspiring for.

Bidam!

Yushin...

Now that I think about it,

it looks like we never had the chance...

to engage in a real duel.

Will you...

do it for me?

Capture him! You must!

What are you waiting for? Stop him at once!

Yushin...

You have won everything...

What duel?!

But still, I must say something to her.

Seventy paces to Deokman.

The crossbow unit has arrived.

Crossbow unit, on your posts!

Aim!

Fire!

Thirty paces...

to Deokman.

Ten paces...

to Deokman.

"Deok...man..."

"Deokman..."

The insurrection has been subjugated.

What is left in this country now is one mind, one spirit,

and one united power vying for our grandiose unification,

and walking along that path with resolve.

All the courtiers, the Hwarang and our troops...

You all...

must convey to my people...

the wishes I hereby have affirmed,

the end of this insurrection,

and the advent of our grandiose achievements.

Hurrah for Her Majesty!

Hurrah for Her Majesty!

Hurrah! Hurrah! Hurrah!

- Your Majesty! - Your Majesty!

Your Majesty!

Your Majesty!

- Your Majesty! - Your Majesty!

- Your Majesty! - Your Majesty!

- Your Majesty! - Your Majesty!

Your Majesty!

Your Majesty!

Your Majesty.

Are you all right?

Have you regained your senses?

How long have I been here?

Over three and a half days.

How could you not tell anyone about this...

What would talking of life and death matter?

Your Majesty...

How could you say that?

Your Majesty.

Your Majesty.

Have you regained your senses?

Yes.

Chief. I laud your efforts.

Your Majesty. Do not say that.

Nothing will happen to you.

But... such efforts are what I will continue to need from you.

Take the vacant post of Sangdaedeung.

It is an order.

Follow my wishes.

Now.

Your Majesty...

Your grace is immeasurable.

Lord Yushin.

Tell me.

Your Majesty.

I am sure Bidam whispered something to you.

What did he say?

It is something I could not dare repeat.

May you forgive me.

I could never convey something of such insolence.

Do it, Lord Yushin.

I cannot.

I cannot say those words.

It is an order.

Tell me now.

What Bidam said was...

Deok...man...

Deokman...

"Deokman,"

he said.

Now, nobody can call my name.

I will...

I will do it for you.

Calling my name...

means treason.

Even if it is devotion that moves you to do so,

all creation will consider it a treacherous act.

Let us go out.

Yes.

I want to see the land, the sky, and everything in between.

How desolate.

The spring shall soon be upon us,

flowers will bloom again, and new buds will grace the land.

Spring...

Spring.

Lord Yushin.

Yes, Your Majesty.

I came into contact with many people.

Some of them protected me,

others became fierce rivals of mine,

and others even...

loved me.

Many came and went,

but the one who has always remained by my side...

is you, Lord Yushin.

Your Majesty...

We walked along that arduous path together.

And it was only possible because it was you.

Your grace is immeasurable.

Your Majesty.

It is to you that I can entrust this nation,

and all its aspirations left to fulfill,

with full confidence and peace of heart.

Your Majesty...

If the unification of the Three Kingdoms is not borne out of our hands,

we will never know if this land will remain ours,

or be ruled by someone else.

I am well aware.

Lord Yushin.

Yes, Your Majesty.

I once told you about the dream...

I had the very first night I came back to Gyerim, right?

Now...

I think I know who embraced me...

in that dream.

And who was it?

May you tell me.

~ Tomb of Queen Seondeok ~

Alcheon.

I'd heard you returned to your hometown,

but you were here?

Yushin.

I've heard.

Hwangsan Plains* was fierce, wasn't it?

*Famous 660 AD battle between Shilla & Baekje

Have you ever seen a battle that was not fierce?

You live up to your post until the very last moment, I see.

Your Majesty...

Yushin subjugated Baekje.

The next step...

is Goguryeo.

Your Majesty.

Now I know.

The person who embraced me...

and shed tears.

I now know...

who it was.

Yes, Your Majesty. May you tell me.

Who was it?

Was it Sohwa?

Or...

Your late mother, the Queen?

Lord Yushin.

Yes, Your Majesty.

We once tried to escape, didn't we?

Remember?

Shall we do it now?

You are making me feel awkward.

Why are you saying...

such things?

Your Majesty...

Ahh... Really...

Where am I going to find that Munno?

What is wrong with you?

Who is this?

Look... Let me go!

Wait.

Why are you so suddenly embracing people like that?

Listen!

Deokman...

The path ahead of you will be arduous.

And it will be painful.

You will lose beloved ones,

and experience utmost loneliness.

It will be more barren and dim than in the desert.

I asked you... who you are.

Why are you crying?

For it will seem like you have the world,

but in truth...

you will not be able to gain anything.

Ahh... Really. You sure are peculiar.

But, still...

You must endure it.

All right?

Endure it.

Endure it to the end.

If I could beat him, I'd be the chef.
