Okay, let's go.
Please kill me.
They couldn't have gone far.
Get all the royal guards to go after them!
Block all passages to GyehRu and do whatever it takes to get them!
I want you to search that side!
Yes.
Halt.
- Let's go. - Yes.
Give him to me.
I'm okay.
We still have a long way to go before we reach the border.
Give him to me.
You must be tired.
Bear with me a little.
You'll meet your father soon.
Your Highness! The royal guards are coming!
Let's go.
We will never catch them searching this way.
We need to block the border into Jol-Bon and catch them there.
I'll do as you ask.
What?
Are you serious?
Yes, the palace has turned upside down.
They must really want to die.
I heard that Yoo-Hwa and Ye Soya have left the palace.
Yes.
The royal guards are going after them.
I knew this would happen.
We should've killed them a long time ago.
Not necessarily.
Lady Yoo-Hwa and Ye Soya have been useful as hostages until now.
That's why His Majesty sent royal guards to get them back.
Has BuYeo stooped so low that we need hostages because of Ju-Mong?
I don't want to admit it, but yes.
BuYeo is in a national crisis from continuous disasters,
but the Da-Mul Army is high in spirits.
I think the only way BuYeo can escape from this crisis is
to get you seated on the throne.
Is anyone outside?
Is there any word on the search?
Yes, Your Majesty.
All we need to do is cross that river to get to Jol-Bon.
The security is too tight. How can we cross?
I'm sure we can find a place with loose security.
Let's go.
This place is just as well kept, Mother.
What should we do?
We should wait until sunset.
Mother!
He delivered Ju-Mong's letter to me.
Don't worry.
Halt!
What?
Your Highness.
What happened?
What are you doing here?
I escaped the BuYeo Palace in order to find General Ju-Mong.
This is my daughter-in-law and my grandson.
We can't cross the river because the frontier garrisons have a tight security.
I know I'm being shameless, but I need your help.
I understand.
Sit down.
There's no need to be scared.
Just bear with me a little, okay?
Okay.
Pile them.
Don't worry.
- Let's go to the border. - Yes.
Halt!
I thought you were going to BuYeo. Didn't you just cross the border?
I decided to go back because I have one more important deal to make in Jol-Bon.
Have you seen some women near the border?
Who are you looking for?
Some dangerous people are trying to escape BuYeo.
There are three women and one child.
Notify the BuYeo Army immediately if you see them.
I understand.
Pass!
Halt!
Halt.
Which business troop are they?
They're going to Jol-Bon.
What have you got here?
Crops and salt.
You're ruining our crops!
Get away!
Stop!
Stop it!
Don't just stand there!
- Search! - Yes.
Your Majesty, the Commander is back.
What's going on?
I don't know.
We found them trying to cross the border disguised as a business troop laborer.
How do you know Lady Yoo-Hwa?
I met her by coincidence near the border and she pleaded to...
Your wretch!
You risked your life to help someone who you met by coincidence?
I bet you're working with Ju-Mong.
That's not true!
That's not true?
Master Chun didn't do anything wrong.
I met him near the border and asked him to take me to Jol-Bon.
Torture him until he tells the truth and lock Ye Soya and Yuri in their chambers.
Yes.
Do you know how much confusion you've brought upon the country in this time?
I only tried to do what I need to do.
The only way for you to leave the BuYeo palace, is to die after living as a hostage.
- Take her away. - Yes.
Sit down.
You know what crisis BuYeo is going through right now.
I said I'll send Ye Soya and Yuri once everything settles down.
Why can't you trust me?
You've always trusted me regardless of what I went through.
Why did you change so heartlessly?
You're the one who has changed.
You're the one who broke your promise with me
and held Ye Soya and Yuri as hostages.
I'm the King of BuYeo.
I received a revelation that BuYeo will perish because of Ju-Mong.
I can't help but be hostile towards him.
I want to cling onto Ye Soya and Yuri
if that'll help me avoid fighting with Ju-Mong.
Don't you understand?
Your Majesty.
I know that Ju-Mong's dream is not to destroy BuYeo.
Ju-Mong only wants to regain the lost land of the old JoSeon.
If BuYeo and Ju-Mong join together, we can build an empire
that will defeat the Han and continue the glory of the old JoSeon.
That doesn't mean BuYeo will perish.
It's a new beginning.
That's what you think.
Losing the name and the sovereignty of BuYeo means it will perish.
If that happens, I won't be able to face my ancestors even after my death.
My Lady, you know how much I've wanted to be with you for decades.
How can you do this to me?
I can't send you.
I'd rather kill you than send you.
Kill me.
Kill me and send Ye Soya and Yuri.
Tell me!
Did Ju-Mong ask you to do this?
No, he didn't.
You wretch, let's see how long you can hold out.
If he confesses that we gave him the old JoSeon records, we'll both be dead.
I'm going back to the Han.
You should come with me.
You're not making any sense!
We have to find a way out of this.
There's no way out unless he dies before opening his mouth.
Right, there won't be a problem if he dies.
I want you to kill him.
What?
What brings you here?
He still won't confess?
He's a tough one.
Maybe you didn't torture him enough.
Tae Ma-Jin has experience torturing mutineers in Chang'an.
Why don't you let him to the job?
I'll do it.
Tell me the truth.
Are you working with Ju-Mong?
Tell me!
I'm back.
Well done.
How are things going in BuYeo?
Every single gateway to BuYeo was under strict security,
including inspection for merchants.
What about the BuYeo Palace?
Something bad has happened to Lady Yoo-Hwa and Lady Ye Soya.
What?
According to the message we received, Song-Yang is recruiting soliders from Gwanna, Hwanna, and Yunna.
This is going to be difficult for the people.
Send out a message to all the chiefs of Jol-Bon.
Find out how many soliders are joining Song-Yang's army.
Yes.
General.
I have something important to tell you.
What is it?
Lady Yoo-Hwa and Lady Ye Soya were arrested at the border
when they escaped from the BuYeo Palace.
Master Chun was tortured to death
because he tried to help them escape BuYeo.
If General had just given us a chance, we could have brought them back.
Instead of attacking Song-Yang, we should be attacking BuYeo.
Aigoo, really!
Welcome.
Where's General Ju-Mong?
I have something important to discuss with him.
I don't think you should see him right now.
What's wrong?
Yes, well...
Lady Yoo-Hwa and Lady Ye Soya tried to come to GyehRu
but were arrested by the BuYeo soldiers and sent back to the BuYeo Palace.
Long time no see.
What brings you here without tidings?
I've been ordered by His Majesty to offer help to you.
I thought King Geum-Wa didn't like how close Jol-Bon and the Han are.
He's concerned because the Da-Mul Army has joined forces with GyehRu.
And I suggested that we should help BiRyu.
I will lead the reinforcements to attack the Da-Mul Army and GyehRu.
If you could do that for us, Jol-Bon will be grateful to BuYeo for generations to come.
But we can only send reinforcements if these conditions are met.
BiRyu should provide the provisions and the war supplies for the BuYeo Army,
and give us three hundred seoks of grain as tributes.
Forgive me, but I can't accept your proposition.
What?
Jol-Bon is going through a long famine right now.
We barely managed to get provisions for ourselves, but GyehRu burned everything.
Our people are starving.
We can't afford to send tributes.
If you can't accept my proposition then BuYeo won't send reinforcements.
Did you hear?
I heard that people don't have to starve in GyehRu.
Are you serious?
That's what I heard.
Prince Ju-Mong and the Da-Mul Army are in GyehRu right now,
I heard that they accept anyone from any country or tribe.
You mean they're all going to GyehRu?
They'll be killed if the frontier garrisons get them.
Starving to death in BuYeo or getting killed on the way to GyehRu. It's one or the other.
Your Majesty.
Our people who can't stand the cold and starvation are going to GyehRu.
What do you mean?
The word is that the Da-Mul Army and GyehRu have joined together,
and that the refugees are allowed to settle in GyehRu.
Your Majesty, the root of BuYeo is shaking right now.
More people will leave BuYeo if they're not fed.
I've received report that more and more people are trying to leave the country.
The people are risking their lives to cross the border.
I'm back Your Majesty.
What happened?
Will Song-Yang give us food?
I'm very sorry.
The situation in BiRyu is also difficult, and they cannot accept our offer.
Who are these people?
They were arrested at the border while trying to go to GyehRu.
You wretches!
You have forsaken your country. How can you call yourselves citizens of BuYeo?
I'll kill you guys with my own hands.
Stop!
What's going on?
They tried to go to GyehRu after forsaking you and BuYeo.
You were born in BuYeo and so were your ancestors.
Although BuYeo is going through a crisis, you shouldn't abandon your homeland.
There will be better days if we go through this crisis together.
Your Majesty, we don't have to abandon our country either.
But our families are starving to death in front of our eyes.
What do you expect us to do?
I heard that GyehRu has enough food right now.
Why don't you unify BuYeo and GyehRu to save the people?
You wretch!
Are you asking His Majesty to submit to GyehRu?
Isn't that what a monarch should do if that'll save the people?
Your Majesty, join Prince Ju-Mong and save us!
Who's your King? Ju-Mong or me?
Dae-So.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Behead these men and display their heads in the streets.
Tighten the security at the border.
And behead anyone who tries to cross the border and escape BuYeo!
Yes, Your Majesty!
Your Majesty! Please don't kill us!
GyehRu
Where are you from?
I'm from BuYeo.
Go ahead.
Gosh...
What's taking them so long?
- Give us something to eat. - Just hang on a minute.
What took you so long?
Here you go. Eat these.
We're now going to provide housing and food for you.
Kids.
Where are your parents?
They died at the BuYeo border.
Oh, no...
Eat as much as you want.
How many more refugees are we going to accept?
If this keeps up, we'll starve to death, too.
Yes, we should set a limit.
I feel bad for the refugees, but the GyehRu citizens are complaining, too.
What?
They're now citizens of GyehRu.
We have to live together.
Give them the provisions.
No!
If they're the citizens of GyehRu then they must also know
that food will be used as provisions to unify Jol-Bon.
What if Song-Yang attacks us after we run out of provisions?
But they came all the way here for us! We can't just ignore them!
Song-Yang won't attack us right away.
Let's save the people first.
No!
I heard that we'll launch an attack as soon as
our spies in Song-Yang's headquarters figures out the enemy's condition.
I'll ask the gods for a good day to start the expedition.
So-Ryeong.
Yes?
I'm trying to think of a way to unify Jol-Bon without going to war.
Both Jol-Bon and BuYeo are countries that
the Three-Legged Bird must take under its wings.
Oh goodness....
General!
What's going on?
The GyehRu managers won't let us use the food.
We need to give food to the refugees who are flooding into GyehRu right now before they starve to death.
They said we can't provide them because they are their provisions.
What should we do?
Please give us a solution.
I know that giving away the provisions is only a temporary solution.
But the people who came to GyehRu will starve to death without a place to go.
I feel bad for them too, but we can't give the provisions away
when we're about to go to war with Song-Yang.
Both you and Chief So Seo-No are right.
What should we do?
I'll take care of everything.
Please open the storage room and give the provisions to the refugees.
What is he trying to do?
Does he want GyehRu to perish after saving the refugees?
Like you said, I've given the provisions away.
What are you going to do now?
Miss.
I'm trying to come up with a way to unify Jol-Bon without going to war.
How can we make a tribe submit to us without going to war?
Although Jol-Bon is divided into five tribes,
I heard that the coalition is like brothers of one blood.
What's the use of establishing a new nation upon the blood of each other
because of strife among the leaders?
It'll be great if we don't have to go to war.
But how do we do that?
As long as all the Chiefs are listening to Song-Yang,
we can't unify Jol-Bon without a war.
Tell me the details about each Chief's character and each tribe's characteristic.
Out of the three Chiefs of Gwanna, Hwanna, and Yunna, the Gwanna Chief
stood against Song-Yang for a long time until he was forced to surrender.
The Hwanna Chief is very weak in heart and doesn't covet power,
but he preserves the peace of his tribe and himself by going with the times.
The Yunna Chief is very loyal to Song-Yang.
Don't even think about it.
You'll lose your head.
Gwanna Chief
I know that you've been obeying Song-Yang against your will
after you were forced to submit.
Your job is to protect your tribesmen.
You shouldn't let your starved people bleed in the battlefield.
Even if Song-Yang wins the war against GyehRu, he'll give Jol-Bon to the Han.
It's not too late to join us. If you do, we'll protect your tribesmen.
Instead of living under the Han's rule with Song-Yang,
why don't you build a new nation with me?
Send my message to the Hwanna Chief.
The Da-Mul Army will attack Hwanna the minute he refuses my offer.
I understand.
Do you think he'll be convinced?
Elder Yeon Ta-Bal told me that the Hwanna Chief goes with the times.
I'm sure he knows that the times are in the Da-Mul Army's favor, not Song-Yang's.
Grand Chief! We're in trouble!
What's the matter?
The Gwanna and Hwanna Chiefs have surrendered to the Da-Mul Army. Yunna Chief
What did you say?
Have Gwanna and Hwanna been attacked by the Da-Mul Army?
They surrendered without putting up a fight.
Halt!
We're the Minister of the Right and Left of the Da-Mul Army here as envoys.
We're here to meet Grand Chief Song-Yang.
What are you guys doing here?
General Ju-Mong does not wish for the Jol-Bon people
to fight against each other.
He wants you to join the Da-Mul Army to drive out the Han
and recover the lost land and glory of the old JoSeon.
Would you like to join us?
You wretches!
You've been kicked out of BuYeo!
How dare you ask us to join you out of concern for the Jol-Bon people?!
Go and tell Ju-Mong that although Gwanna and Hwanna have surrendered,
I'm still firm and strong!
I will defeat the Da-Mul Army and subjugate GyehRu.
Grand Chief.
Go with the times.
Choose wisely.
If you don't leave at once, I will strike your heads!
Go away!
What?
Even Gwanna and Hwanna?
Forgive me.
Governor, let me ask you one more time.
Look kindly upon BiRyu and me. Send us reinforcements.
What are you talking about?
You can't even guard the tribes under your rule, yet you expect reinforcements?
Governor, I'll do whatever you ask if I can unify Jol-Bon.
Please send reinforcements.
Governor.
They already lost Gwanna and Hwanna.
Even if we send reinforcements, we don't know if we'll win.
If we fail this time after sending reinforcements,
the Royal Court will punish you.
It'll be an even bigger problem if Song-Yang surrenders to the Da-Mul Army.
I doubt Song-Yang will surrender that easily.
Don't worry.
The Governor said he can't send any more reinforcements.
You should go back.
Grand Chief, Ju-Mong and the Da-Mul Army are planning to attack.
What's the matter?
Grand Chief Song-Yang would like to speak to General Ju-Mong.
Where?
In our headquarters.
He wants you to come by yourself.
Song-Yang is a crafty man.
Maybe he's trying to kill you because he knows that he doesn't stand a chance?
Chief So Seo-No is right.
Don't go.
Yes, BiRyu is no match for us anymore.
Song-Yang humiliated us before.
Let's just attack and wipe them out.
Even the BiRyu people are Jol-Bon people
whom we must take under our wings.
My father, Commander Hae Mo-Su, told me
that I can't fulfill a great mission if I can't even protect the one person next to me.
We are taking our first step to recover the vast land and glory of the old JoSeon.
Unifying Jol-Bon will pave the way for a new nation.
If we have to shed blood now,
then the road to our great mission will be covered in blood.
If my will is the same as the will of the Gods, then the Gods won't forsake us.
I will visit Chief Song-Yang.
