-Please put this sword away, my man. -I said O would kill you if you turn around.
They wouldn`t release you for nothing. I want the truth, or you`ll die.
before you can turn around and look at me.
Now talk. Why did they release you?
They said they`d give me what I want if I bring you in.
Don`t you want to know what it is they promised? They promised me Andong Protectorate-
the right of command of the entire old Goguryeo territory.
I had no idea your head was worth so much. There.
Is that enough reason to kill me off? Then...
go ahead and kill me.
What`s the matter? How about now?
You`re alive, so this means you accepted their proposition?
Are you going to sell me and the Dongmyoungchun League off for the protectorate?
Use me.
What I want is to revive Goguryeo
The right of command is not what I have been after. You know that.
I will be your double agent. You can achieve everything that you`re after if you use me well.
You must trust me.
I will contact you.
Don`t ask questions and don`t try to contact us.
Now turn around.
(Andong Protectorate, Liaodong Fort)
Andong Protectorate?
You promised him the protectorate for Dae Joyoung`s life?
-Yes, -How could you?
That means turning over the control of Goguryeo to Namseng!
You could lose everything including your life if we fail to capture Dae Joyoung and his men. (Li Kaigu)
Andong Protectorate is nothing.
-Oh boy... -We can discuss this later.
Right now, our priority is using Namseng to capture Dae Joyoung. (Shin Hong)
Do you trust Namseng? (Xue Rengui)
He endured the brutal torture and didn`t open his mouth. He is not to be trusted.
We will trust as much as we need to trust.
As much as we need to trust?
It`s dangerous to believe everything he says. But Dae Joyoung and the Dongmyoungchun League will linger around him.
That is what we will exploit.
What if they turn this around and use Namseng against us?
That`s entirely possible.
But we are the fishermen and they are the fish in our pond.
We are the ones casting Namseng as our bait to catch them.
Yes, and I know because I like to fish.... It`s much easier for a fisherman to catch the fish than for the fish to catch the fisherman.
But it will be a fierce contest since there is only one bait.
Yes...
Dae Joyoung will die out of the water.. but we will die if we are dragged into the water...
Dae Joyoung.....
(Tsui Sing Lau, Liaodong Fort)
You`re going to trust Namseng?
He kept his mouth shut when he knew His Majesty`s identity. I believe his words were sincere.
But they`re going to give him the Andong Protectorate He could have a change of heart at any moment. (Gulsabiwu)
I agree. Joyoung, let`s not over think this (Heuk Sudol)
and just get rid of him.
Geumlan is being watched, and it`s become difficult to acquire information about the protectorate`s activities.
-If Yeon Namseng could help us... -I don`t trust Yeon Namseng at all.
-He`s burned me too many times! -Sudol is right.
Namseng is not to be trusted.
Ten good services will not be worth one betrayal. (Lady Sukyoung:King Bojang`s Niece)
This is not a decision to be made in haste.
General, perhaps we should watch Namseng for awhile before we decide. (Mimosa)
-What`s this fool in for? -General, what kept you so long?
Please let me out now.
Why? I thought you didn`t want to come out. Didn`t you say you wanted to die in there?
No, no, General. I want to get out of here. (Hongpei)
No, no, I understand. Life must`ve been very hard for you to choose jail.
I`ll make sure you het your three meal`s a day, so stay in there and rest.
I made a mistake, general. Please let me out now.
No, that`s all right.
General, I will never talk back to you again. So please forgive me just this once.
-Let him out! -Yes, sir!
Thank you, general! Thank you!
-Don`t you ever talk back to me again! -General!
Bu Kiwon just went to Tsui Sing Lau ranting about killing Dae Joyoung.
That lunatic is at it again? Good grief...Darn it....
Out of my way!
Where is Dae Joyoung?
Welcome, sire. What brings you today unannounced?
-I will prepare the refreshments. Please come this way. -Don`t touch me you wench.
You can fool the world but you can`t fool me.
What do you mean, sire?
Dae Joyoung is hiding in there!
I know this is the Dongmyoungchun League`s hideout. Go tell Dae Joyoung that Bu Kiwon is here!
-I must ask you to leave. -How dare you defy my order!
Get Dae Joyoung out here at once!
-Blasted bastard! I`ll go kill him right now! -No
One of our targets is right before our eyes, and we have to hide ion here!
-Please take Lord Bu and leave. -Do you want to die first? Huh?
Dae Joyoung come out here! Stop hiding you rat! come out like a man and fight!
Escord Lord Bu out of here!
-Let go! -Come on! Get moving!
Let go! I said let go!
Gather around.
Dae Joyoung is hiding in here. I can feel his presence. I`ll take care of him, so you stay back.
Stop him! Get him out of here!
Let go of me, you fools! Dae Joyoung is right here!
I`m sorry about this. Lord Bu isn`t well.
Yes, I heard.
-Let us know right away if you see anyone suspicious. -I will general.
They`re gone.
-He`s completely gone off his rocker like they say. -Are you going to let him live?
We don`t need to bother going after a man who has lost his mind.
We can get rid of him anytime we want. We need to direct our focus on getting rid of Xue Rengui now.
-Why did you go over there again? Why? -What do you mean why?
Dae Joyoung is hiding at Tsui Sing Lau.
-You`ll chase the fish away stirring up the water like that. -If we don`t take action first.
they`ll come out swinging their sword. And this time, they will come after Xue Rengui`s head!
Watch you tongue!
Is the protectorate compound thoroughly secure?
Have no fear, General. The security is air tight.
What`s more, young Goguryeoan recruits are guarding the compound. If Dae Joyoung care about the public sentiment.
-He will think twice before he attacks. -They are cold blooded killers.
They will stop at nothing to kill General Xue! (Bu Kiwon)
Oh, For crying out loud! Go get some rest!
-Guards! -Yes, sir.
Escord Lord Bu back to his quarters.
And have the physicion concoct a very potent potion for him.
Yes, sir come with us, sir.
General, pay heed to my warning, or terrible tragedy will falt upon you.
You are Dae Joyoung`s next target!
-Boy, you`re really asking for ir! Let`s go get that potion, come! -General!
-The man will curse me with such talks! -There is truth to every tale.
What are you trying to say?
This battle with the Dongmyoungchun League is culiminating. If Dae Joyoung should choose one name from his hit listfor grand final, whom will he choose?
-Are you saying Bu Kiwon is right? -Chances are, yes.
-Then what do we do now, general? -If you swing big,
it`s easier to make a mistake.
We have thought of everything so you don`t need to fear, sir.
What`s going on with the plan you had for Namseng?
We will hear from him very soon.
If we don`t work with Namseng, situation could turn dangerous for you and His Majesty.
Perhaps you should go to Goguryeo Village for a while.
Is that why you wanted to see me?
-Your Grace... -I will not go.
There is nothing you can say to change my mind.
I should go now.
Your Grace,
Please tell me where Lady Chulin is.
-What is it? -Joyoung,
-Is there something you need to speak to Princess Sukyoung about? -It`s nothing.
Good night, Your Grace.
Call Sudol, We should get back to the brewery now.
All right, Joyoung.
Gulsabiwu isn`t coming. You should go back.
I can`t leave until I see him. (Chulin:Li Jinzhong`s Daughter)
Then tell me why you want to see him first. I cannot help you otherwise. (Lady Sukyoung:King Bojang`s Niece)
Juging by your hesitation, it must be something that will hurt our case.
Be well.
There`s no reason for me to ever seee you again.
-Your Grace, -Step aside.
I once betray my own tribe and fought for Goguryeo
A twist of fate has led me in part with with the man I love, but I don`t regret it for a moment
because those were the happies days of my life.
General Dae still loves you.
I`ve forgotten about Dae Joyoung long ago.
Then....?
My reason for wanting to see Gulsabiwu has nothing to do with him.
I promise you have nothing to worry about so please believe me.
Why are you here all the way from Yingzhou?
Did something happen to Chulin? Answer my question!
Please read the letter first.
It`s from the Khan in Tang to Lady Chulin.
To Chulin from the Khan?
My dear Chulin, Tang Emperor has assigned me, Wanrong prefects of Yingzhou and Guichenzhou.
He is trying to retract his promise to give us Yingzhou and incorporate the Khitan tribe into Tang.
I cannot submit to this.
I intend to make a deal with the Emperor for Yingzhou in return for the destruction of the Dongmyoung League and Dae Joyoung`s head.
So alert Li Kaigu about this.
He must kill Dae Joyoung and destroy his league. If we`re going to have Yingzhou.
This is the only way we can secure our future.
And Chulin sent you to deliver this letter to me?
Ye--yes, sire.
-You`re lying to me. -Sire....
Chulin is here, isn`t she?
She must`ve found out that Dae Joyoung is alive.
Guards!
Yes, sir!
Search every tavern in the city. Chulin will turn up in one of them!
Yes, General! Let`s go.
-Are you in? -Come in.
The baby?
Did you tell Joyoung about the baby?
He doesn`t know anything yet.
The baby is dead.
That`s what I`ve come to tell you. The baby is dead, so don`t come looking.
Are you intent on raising that child as a Khitan?
That baby is a Goguryeoan. He is my brothers`s flesh and blood!
I can`t let you raise the baby as a Khitan.
Didn`t you hear me? There is no baby! The baby is dead!
Do you expect me to believe that? That`s absurd!
I will tell Joyoung that he has a child.
For whom? For Dae Joyoung? For the baby?
It will hurt all of us. It will only bring us pain.
It`s for Joyoung and for the baby. Please forget about the baby.
There`s nothing left between Joyoung and me.
I`ll give up everything if it`s for the baby. I will raise him quietly alone. So please....
We will conduct a thorough search of the premises!
-Over there, and there, go! -Aye!
-Over there, Let`s go. -Let`s go.
Why are you doing this?
We`re looking for someone so you`ll have to cooperate.
I swear to you there is no one connected to the Dongmyopungchun League here.
We`re not looking for those bastards. What are you waiting for? Search the inside!
-Search every inch of the tavern! -Aye!
My lady...!
What`s the commotion?
It`s true!
Chulin is really here in Goguryeo!
Are you looking for me?
General Li is waiting for you.
Let`s go.
Escort her!
Where were you?
I, um, had a business to attend to in the city.
Is there something you`re not telling me?
Of course not.
It`s your eyes. You look like you want to tell me something. But you never do.
Am I wrong?
-I guess I must be. Go on inside. -Lady Chulin is here.
And?
Is that why you were in the city?
She has nothing to do with me now. In fact, she should be consider an enemy in the current circumstances...
Don`t ever mention her again.
I understand, Joyoung. I won`t.
General.
Explain this.
Come back to Yingzhou with me.
I din`t want you fighting Dae Joyoung.
Do you still have feelings for Dae Joyoung?
I`m your wife. You are Geom`s father.
Please, Kaigu, let`s go back. If you get hurt or something...
It`s too late for that.
I have to kill Dae Joyoung if only to aquire Yingzhou.
What do you mean? Yingzhou is already ours.
The Emperor of Tang invited my father personally to..
It`s from the khan,
You`ll get the full grasp of the situation when you read the letter.
It`s either Dae Joyoung or me. One of us has to die.
The Emperor of Tang gave my father a government post?
(Chang`an, Tang)
But Your Majesty.
I gave them my word on the honor of the Imperial house.
That`s why I gave Li Jinzhong and Sun Wanrong governorship to rule Yingzhou.
But what I promised them is not governorship but ownership of Yingzhou.
High officials oppose adamantly. (Li Zhi:Emperor of Tang)
It`s too late to undo what`s been done.
Then promise them that you would give them Yingzhou if Li Kaigu destroys Dae Joyoung. (Empress Wu Zetian:Empress of Tang)
and the Dongmyoungchun League for us.
Surely you can do that much if only to help me save face.
Very well.
If the Khitans destroy Dae Joyoung and snuffs out the rebels, I will do as you ask.
-Do I have your word? -Yes, you do.
How did it go?
The Empress has won His Majesty over.
Khan!
Thank you, Thank all of you! I will never forget this.
But General Li Kaigu must first succeed in destroying the Dongmyoungchun League.
Of course.
Khan, now it`s up to the khitans to aquire Yingzhou.
I appreciate all of your good counsel.
Let them try what they will
The Empress`s word will mean nothing if I destroy Dongmyoungchun League first.
That`s right.
When are you going to take action anyway? (Zhao Wenhui)
My spies in Goguryeo Village will soon (Li Wen)
let us know where the Dongmyoungchun League is hiding.
-You`re an exceptional archer. -This chaps making amazing progress
because he never rests.
Thank you.
-Take the rest of the day off to relax. -I can`t rest for a moment, sir.
When I think about how my love ones died in the hands of the Tang Chinese revenge is all I can think about.
Vengence will soon be yours very soon.
Yes, sir.
General! General!
-General, spies have been captured. -Spies? You mean Tang spies?
Let`s go!
What happen?
They are real hardcore. They took the poison they had in possession.
They`re dead.
Did you get any information out of them before they died?
Nothing, sir.
If we`ve been exposed to Tang spies, we have no choice but to relocate.
We will start scouting for a new place tomorrow.
The spies were captured on the hill outside the village
Chances are they were trying to contact spmepne on the inside. (Jang Sanhae)
You could be right.
Then we may have Tang spies in our soldiery.
They must be ferreted out at all cost. Untill then, we can`t send any of the soldiers to Joyoung. (Dae Jungsang:Dae Joyoung`s Father)
Is that clear?
Yes, Jungsang.
This is bad....
Joyoung needs us more than ever and now this!
General Li Wen is expecting our report, but communication line has been cut off.
We will stop all communication to General Li for a while.
We cannot take any chances until we infiltrate the Dongmyoungchun League.
We can make contac once we are in Liaodong Fort.
What`s this?
-Combine Andong Protectorate and Liaodong Commandery? -Who lead the commandery army but Yeon Namseng?
Namseng has agreed to help us capture Dae Joyoung, but nothing`s been done.
Dae Joyoung is likely to show some kind of a response if we bring Yeon Namseng under us.
What brings you here unannounced?
-Andong Protectorate is making disturbing moves. -What do you mean?
I`m told the protectorate and the commandery is going to be merged
Merged? What does this mean? (Heuk Sudol) (Gulsabiwu)
-Andong Protectorate will increase in size tremendously. -That`s right.
And the protectorate army will become twice its size as well. (Mimosa)
They`re going all out to find and destroy us...
But His Majesty is head of Liaodong Commandery. Why can`t he refuse this proposal?
His Majesty and Yeon Namseng are at the protectorate compound now to discuss the matter.
But turning down Xue Rengui`s request won`t be easy.
We are trying to destroy Dae Joyoung and his evil killers. (Xue Rengui)
What is there to think about?
You`re not asking for our cooperation but for complete merger.
You know what we`re up against.
It is wise move to combine our strenghts. Under a central authority of the protectorate. (Shin Hong)
-Instead of staying divided and wasting our resources. -This is unthinkable!
What now?
The protectorate and the commandery have two distinctly different roles. (Yeon Namseng:Yeon Gae somun`s oldest son)
Who will look out for the public interest if the commandery is gone?
Captain!
Removing Dae Joyoung is looking out for the public interest. (Li Kaigu)
When His Majesty the Emperor sent us here, there were no orders to help the protectorate to capture assassins.
You cannot let the protectorate put the commandery under them.
Here in Liaodong Fort.
General Xue Rengui is the sovereign king. Are you going to defy the king? (Hongpei)
If you must insist.
get a written approval from the imperial court. Then we will comply.
Lord Yeon, you can`t do this.
You have my full personal cooperation in capturing Dae Joyoung. But I can`t give way
the commandery whole to General Xue.
That, that little... All that beating, and he still hasn`t learned his lesson!
I must go as well.
I`ll count on you, King Bojang.
As you know, Lord Yeon makes all the decisions in the commandery. I will try to talk to him,
-but I don`t know if he will listen. -What? Look King Bojang,
How dare they!
Are you sure Yeon Namseng has had enough beating? How can you trust him to bring Dae Joyoung in?
A bait is just a bait, sir. It doesn`t matter what he thinks.
If we can use him to catch Dae Joyoung, he`s served his purpose.
That`s true.
Bu Kiwon has come back around and proposed a great plan, but...
We will soon be able to incorporate the commandery into the protectorate.
Don`t worry, sir.
Yeon Namseng that punk...
-Welcome Your Majesty! -Have you been well?
You don`t seem very busy today.
-That`s because you haven`t been visiting us often enough. -I`m here today, aren`t I?
Let us go inside and see what delightful time we can have.
How did it go?
We were able to hold them off for now thanks to Namseng`s adamant refusal.
This must be stopped.
If Andong Protectorate is merged with the commandery, it will become even more harder to get rid of Xue Rengui.
That`s not the only problem.
My original plan will hit a major snag if the protectorate army is strgnthened.
Your original plan?
There`s something my father and I`ve been preparing for quite some time.
What`s that?
The militia in Goguryeo Village is steadily growing in size. Once Xue Rengui is eliminated, General Dae Jungsang will lead the militia and attack Liaodong Fort.
-Is this true? -Yes, Your Majesty.
And not only will we drive Andong Protectorate out but establish Liaodong Fort as the new center of anti-Tang force.
I didn`t know such a grand plan was in progress.
But if the protectorate merges with the commandery and double their stregnth,
we may not be able to carry out the plan.
You`re right, but there is no way to stop them at this point.
Let`s kill Xue Rengui off first. Then there will be a way.
Sudol is right
Getting rid of Xue Rengui id the only thing to do right now.
Is there a way?
Is ther a way to either get rid of Xue Rengui or stop this merger?
Why are you staring?
What!
You little wench, you think I don`t know who you are?
What`s the meaning of this?
You were orderd to kill General Xue Rengui. (Bu Kiwon)
Am I right?
Lord Bu, what is this accusation?
Are you saying Geumlan is a part of the Dongmyoungchun League?
I have the power to see through people`s heart. This wench is an assassin sent by Dae Joyoung.
Is this the truth?
General, Geumlan can`t talk.
That`s a lie as well! She`s just pretending to be mute.
-Oh dear... -Stop!
Don`t drink that tea.
That tea is laced with poison.
General, I already drank mine... but I`m fine.
Search the wench and you will find poison on her.
-Search her! -Oh, for heavens sakes, stop this!
No, you must search her. Search her and you will find poison. Really!
Hongpei, humor the man and search her.
Yes, sir.
General, it`s poison!
What?!
You see? What did I tell you?
Geumlan, you?
General, she seems fine.
It`s perfume.
What`s this all about?
That can`t be. That`s poison. That poison I tell you!
What did you do? You switched it! I will kill you right now!
Guards!
-Did you call, sir? -This man is very ill.
Take him back to his quarters and lock him up!
Lock me up? Why are you treating me like I`m crazy?
-Take him away now! -Yes, General!
I`m telling you that girl is Dae Joyoung`s spy! Be very careful, or you could lose your life General!!
Take him away!
Worry about yourself.
How many time have we been through this?
-Get him. -Come on!
General!
This man...
I thought he was starting to come around the last few days.
He had me fooled as well.
I`m so sorry, my dear. Are you alright?
The man is insane, so don`t take it personally.
According to Geumlan`s report it was Bu Kiwon`s idea to combine the protectorate and the commandery.
She says Bu was the one who came up with the idea of recruiting Goguryeoan boys to fight us as wll.
His tactics have become very bold since losing his mind.
But there is a major flaw in his lates plan.
And if we use this to our advantage, we can turn the tables on them.
What do you have in mind?
First instruct Yeon Namseng to comply with the merger.
And let them combine the commandary and the protectorate?
That will give the cammandary guards unrestricted access to the protectorate compound.
Yes, and we put our agents in disguise of commandery guards and....!
They will be entrusting a cat to take care of a fish.
If this plan succeeds, Xue Rengui is already as good as dead.
That`s right.
The key is Yeon Namseng.
We can only succeed if he with us all the way.
I will take care of that. I assure you they will not use him as bait to get us.
Joyoung!
Bu Kiwon is running around the city plaza ranting about killing you.
I think he`s gone completely nuts.
Let`s go finish him off.
Wandering the city at this time of the night?
Yes,
He`s going to get himself killed by the Dongmyoungchun League.
You can`t let Bu Kiwon die like this.
Round up the guards.
-I will go find him myself. -Yes, General!
Dae Joyoung, come out here!
I am Bu Kiwon, the High Commissioner of Goguryeo! Dae Joyoung , where are you?
Get out here and fight like a man! My sword will not forgive you!
Come out here now, Dae Joyoung! Now!
Are you afraid, dae Joyoung? Are you shivering in fear of Bu Kiwon?
Come out here. I know you`re hiding out there!
Here I am. Now what are you going to do?
What am I going to do? I`m going to kill you of course.
If you want to die that badly...
I will give you your wish.
