Just put my brother back to the way he was! He` got important work to do!
I said I`ve done everything you can.
You coward!
-Take him to General Dae Jungsang, -Where is Genearl Dae?
He`s at a small settlement near the Yalu called Goguryeo Village. Where the displace people of Ansi have made a home.
We will meat again.
Wait...! What now?
General Dae Jungsang and Princess Sukyoung have gone to Goguryeo village.
How about Chulin and Gulsabiwu?
Well, I....
What happened to General Gom Mojam and the soldiers?
Don`t worry.
All of them are busily working to get the country back.
Just focus on getting better. You have to rise and wield your sword,
so Tang Chinese would get scared and....
I had a dream.
Master Gom, General On and Yi, and the soldiers were all killed....
They reached out crying for help... ...but there was nothing I could do.
Joyoung....
What is it?
No, it`s nothing.
Are you sure they are all right?
Tell me, Sudol. Did something happened to them?
They`re all dead...
Go Anseung betrayed us and Goguryeo has fallen!
Joyoung, I can`t bear this rage.
Please get back on your feet so we can get our revenge!
Master Gom....Master Gom is dead.... Goguryeo has fallen....!
We will be on the road for a while.
-Tell me now if you`re un comfortable. -Don`t do this.
-You can`t pull me all the way to Goguryeo Village. -But there`s nothing we can do here.
Don`t worry.
A monk once told me that I was an ox in my former life.
There we`re set. Are you ready!
Let`s go!
Joyoung....
Joyoung, you have to get back on your feet. Hurry up and get well, Joyoung...
You`re back! Did you find out?
I asked everyone I could. I think General Dae Joyoung is dead.
How about Heuk Sudol? Do they say he is dead too?
I haven`t heard anything about him.
-How about General Dae Jungsang and Princess Sukyoung? -No one knows where they are.
Thank you for the information.
How is lady Chulin? She must be devastated.
There`s something I must tell you.
Sure, what is it?
Never mind. You should rest now.
Your Grace! Your Grace!
-What`s the commotion? -He`s here!
General Dae Joyoung is alive!
Joyoung...Joyoung...!
Joyoung....!
What happen... Heuk Sudol, what happened to him?
Joyoung...Joyoung is....
Joyoung what happened to you?
Father...
Why are you lying on a stretcher? Get up from there now!
I... am dead, father.
Dead? But you`re alive and breathing!
I may be breathing, but I am not alive. There is nothing I can do anymore.
Talk, What happened to him?
He`s paralyzed. It`s my fault, general!
Paralyzed?
What do you mean he`s paralyzed?
You can rise again. You have to rise again! You have work to do!
Get up and walk. Get up!
Get up...Get up!
This was a period of great change.
After killing Gom Mojam, GGo Anseung moved his base to Geummajeo in modern day iksan of Jeolla Province
and received the title of King Bodoek by Munmu of Shilla.
The name Bodoek, in this case, meant "returning the favor to Shilla"
thus, the Goguryeo revival movement entered a stage of dormancy.
Meanwhile,
Andong Protectorate was forcedfully driven out from Pyongyang Fort
to Liaodong by unremiting anti-Tang protests.
This was a valuable achievement and voctory for the displaced citizens of Goguryeo.
Just when Xue Rengui of Andong Protectorate was starting to gain infamy in Liaodong for his cruelty and abuse.
An important event took place that could change the path of the Goguryeo revival movement.
There you are. Sit down.
This is a pleasure.
I am thrilled to meet the greatest hero of the north General Xue Rengui.
Oh, you`re too kind.
Lord Bu Kiwon! And General Sa Bugu are here as well! It`s good to see you again.
(Sa Bugu) (Bu Kiwon)
It looks like you`ve had a drink or two.
forgive me, I did have a drink. (King Bojang) (Yeon Namseng)
It`s been a while, Lord Yeon.
Yes, General Xue.
I`m afraid you`re going to be busy right away. (Xue Rengui)
We need to get the displaced citizens relocated, and the governor`s office...
Lord Yeon will be taking care of all of the official matters for me.
Oh?
Why don`t we save the boring conversation for later and go to Tsui Sing Lau for a drink?
-Your Majesty...! -What?"Your majesty"?
call him King of Joseon!
Now, now, does it matter what they call me?
Let us go to Tsui Sing Lau.
I think you have had enough for the day.
No,no, We are in rare company. How could I let this day go to waste?
We must go to Tsui Sing Lau. I promise you won`t be desappointed.
Now get up and we shall go.
Your Majesty...
That`s all right. I`m fine....
Oh, What`s wrong with me? Perhaps I am a little drunk.
We should be leaving.
General Xue, let us hold the next meeting at Tsui Sing Lau.
What do you think?
Why not? We shall do that. Now you should go and rest.
Yes,
Stop him if he tries to drink tomorrow.
-I will, sir. -The man has lost all discretion.
-Palbo, -Yes, Your Majesty.
-What did you find out about Dae Joyoung? -I`m told he`s in Goguryeo Village.
-How is he? -He is paralyzed.
Fool...
Did you decide you`re mute as well?
It`s up to you to overcome this! What are you doing here lying on your back (Dae jungsang:Joyoung`s Father)
when you`ve got work to do?
Andong Protectorate is squeezing the blood and sweat out of our people in Liaodong.
Are you going to let the people suffer?
It`s all over now.
Like me, Goguryeo has no hope...
Who do you think you are deciding the fate of this lan?
Let me die, father.
There is nothing I can do anymore. Please help me end this misery.
Please kill me, Father...
You`re despicable. My son is despicable!
Do whatever you want to yourself! You will never see me again!
Joyoung is already dead.
My son is gone...
-General... -Don`t wast your time on him anymore. (Lady Sukyoung:Bojang`s Niece)
Take care of the people instead.
I will restore him to helth.
He fell into this condition fighting to revive the country and protect the people.
His whole body was covered with wounds fighting the Tang Chinese.
I can`t forsake him. I must save him.
Your Grace...
If I could give my life to restore movement to his arms and legs
if I could watch him on his feet fighting the enemy once again, I would do it in a heartbeat.
He will walk again, I will make him walk again.
Your belly is getting too big to keep hidden. And there`s no way you can escape with the guards.
watching around the clock....
I think general Li Kaigu might know you`re pregnant.
What do you mean?
It`s the way he`s been looking at you lately.
Lady Chulin, May I come in?
-I thought I might leave this place now. -Will General Xue let you leave?
He said from the start that I was free to go anytime I wanted.
-Do you have a place to go? -Dae Joyoung is gone,
but Heuk Sudol must be alive somewhere.
Take care.
Wait! Wait a moment!
There`s something I must tell you.
What?
-Chulin is pregnant with my brother`s child? -She`s already several months along.
If they find out about this....
Joyoung`s child!
Lady Chulin said you have been throught enough and didn`t want me to tell you,
but she will never be able to escape this place alone.
Must you go now? Couldn`t you bide your time and leave with the lady?
So, have you made your decision?
That`s what I thought. But what can I do?
Everyone has their own place....
It`s alright. You can go. (Xue Rengui)
But stay out of my path.
I don`t want my good feeling for you to turn bitter.
I`m gratful to you for taking care of me, General Xue. (Gulsabiwu)
In the right hands, everything and everyone has good use.
Take me under your wings.
Do you mean this?
A man doesn`t take back his words.
But general, this man could be dangerous!
Thank you, Gulsabiwu!
We can do great things that will shock the world. If we combine our stregths!
I`m delighted beyond words! Gulsabiwu is my faithfull servant! Tell me I`m not dreaming!
Thank you, Gulsabiwu!
You haven`t so much as given me a glance in over an hour.
Tell me, Don`t I even exist anymore in your eyes?
I wish you didn`t exist.
I wish you`d disappear (Chulin:Li Jinzhong``s daughter)
Why? You don`t see me anyway. (Li Kaigu)
How much longer do you plan to keep me locked up like this?
I haven`t decided on what to do with you.
What do you mean?
-Rest. -What else is there to decide?
Answer me, What are you going to do to me?
Give up the baby.
There is no way to protect it. It`s either the baby or your life.
I`ll never give up my baby.
But you know how Dae Joyoung died
You killed him, You, Li Kaigu!
Yes, I killed the baby`s father. And when that baby grows up,
he will seek revenge on the tribe.
I won`t let anyone harm my baby.
-That baby could take your life and the tribe`s future. -I don`t care who you are.
If you lay a hand on my baby, I`ll kille you.
Joyoung, don`t close your eyes!
It`s me, Chulin.
You can`t die. Please don`t die!
No, don`t die!
Sudol,
Yes?
Did you say Chulin and Gulsabiwu were taken to Liaodong?
I don`t know about Gulsabiwu, but I`m sure Chulin is there, since the Khitan tribe is there.
It`s time for your position, I`m coming in.
Chu,....
I`ll be outside.
There`re many poeple waiting for you to get better. drink!
-What brings you here at this late time of the evening? -You look so thin...
I`m fine.
Joyoung?
He`s asleep.
Go home and rest if only for the tonight.
-No, I have things to do in the morning and.... -Please do as I ask.
I will take care of Joyoung tonight.
-General... -Please.
You`ve pushed yourself too hard and abused your body.
You`ve exhausted your energy and left nothing for yourself.
I wasn`t there to take care of you when you were a chiled...
Now I`m right here, right in front of you but still I`m no good to you.
My son, what am I supposed to do?
Please tell me what I`m dupposed to do for you....
Please rise above this. Son...My son....
(Tsui Sing Lau Pagodan,Liadong Fort)
It`s an honor to serve such distinguished guests. I am Mimosa, the owner of Tsui Sing Lau.
The owner? But you`re such a young man. I`m impressed.
He recently made a large contribution to the protectorat as well.
A contribution as well? We are not your guests, you are ours!
It`s in our interest to support the protectorate. In order to continue our business smothly.
And who might you be?
Forgive me for belated introduction. I am Auhong.
Forgive me for belated introduction.
I am Aunhong, the manage the gisaeng house here at Tsui Sing Lau.
Auhong? I like that name!
"Auhong"!
I`ve been to many gisaemg houses in Tang but none that matches this place.
How did you amass such fortune at your young age?
My father amassed his fortune in trading. Bieng born into wealtth has been my only labor.
It`s a blessing that is your own. A king as well, is but a man born into royalty.
Right, General Xue?
Yes, that`s right.
Although once in a while you run into men like me who go from rags to riches.
At any rate, you have good wine and beautiful women!
I will be taking care of your bill tonight. drink as much as you`d like and enjoy your time.
Here, here let us drink!
-I had a wonderful time tonight! -Watch your step. -Yes, yes.
Wait, where is King of Joseon? King Bojang, where are you?
He`s had a bit too much to drink, and one of my girls will have to attend to him tonight.
Oh my, he works fast! He is going to sleep with a girl.
General perhaps we should stay the night here as well.
Honpai!
Public servents must set good examples. Let`s go.
But that does sound wonderful!
Your Majesty, they have just left the building.
We can`t be too careful. Make sure no one comes near this room.
Yes, My lord.
You`ve done a marvelous job with this place. (King Bojang:28th King of Goguryeo)
I couldn`t have done it without your help, Your Majesty. (Mimosa)
Tsui Sing Lau will serve as the heart of the anti-Tang organization.
It is vital that you establish intimate ties with Andong Protectorate.
I`ll remember, Your Majesty.
Your Majesty, all of the ground work is now done. Who will carry out the important task?
I`ve struggled with that for a long time.
There`s only one man in Goguryeo that has both the talent and character to successfully carry out this task.
-Are you referring to Dae Joyoung? -Yes, Dae Joyoung is the man.
But he might as well be a dead man right now.
The hard fact is Goguryeo is dead, too.
It makes no sense to give up on a man that`s still alive. When we`re trying to revive a country that`s dead.
You`re right, but...
-Go to Dae Joyoung. -Your Majesty...
The protectorate will soon resume the refugee relocation policy. Each day we delay,
thousands of destinies will be changed.
Go to him and convey my will and desire.
If he shares my desparation, he will rise again.
I will abide by your wish, Your Majesty.
Tell me if you`re cold.
You need fresh air once in a while to help you recover quicker.
This is a waste of your time.
I don`t want you to go through this for me. Please leave me be...
Being your hands and feet... makes these the happies time for me. (Lady SukyoungLKing Bojang`s niece)
Your Grace...
If that makes you feel uncomfortable, you`ll just have to get back on your feet.
There`s nothing you can say to make me stop until then.
King Bojang came back to Liaodong to assist Andong Protectorate.
He is a traitor that betrayed Goguryeo.
You couldn`t be more wrong.
He has consealed his true self in order to revive the resistence movement.
Then you mean the rumors about him are untrue? (Jang Saehae)
Exactly the opposite is true His Majesty plans to carry out
a great undertaking in conjuction with you.
A great undertaking? What exactly is his plan? (Dae Jungsang:Dae Joyoung`s Father)
I can`t tell you the details right now.
What is this?
His Majesty sent this to Dae joyoung.
-To Joyoung? -Yes,
It is a letter and something else I don`t know.
Does he know the condition Joyoung is in right now?
Yes, he does.
Please deliver it to General Dae right away.
My goodness...! My goodness...!
My goodness....!
His Majesty has written a message in his blood!
General Dae Joyoung,
I am crying a desperate cry with blood from my veins.
"Great Goguryeo!"
How we`ve longed to shout out these words! But I don`t deserve to utter these words with my tounge.
So I cry in blood.... in pain and desperation....
I`ve decided to give the rest of mu life for Goguryeo.
Until my blood and soul turns to dust and disappear. I will fight.
Please get back on your feet. Your hands and feet,
your gleaming eyes and resounding battle cries are desperately needed.
Although the history of this land may have been force to a halt, the people must stay alive and active.
Where you are now is not where you belong.
You belong here at the heart of the paople!
Your Majesty....
Your Royal Highness has shed his own blood...
Mother...Forgive me...! Forgive this worthless man, Mother...!
Forgive me Mother...!
Mother..!!
