Episode 5
Gooknae Castle Tournament Field
Yellow Team (Gye-ru Province) vs. Blue Team (Soon No Province)
If I become King, will that be enough for you?
If I become King...
Will I have power over that bastard that killed my mother?
During this tournament of the five provinces, I will show them who Ho Gae is.
All the girls in Gooknae Castle won't be able to sleep tonight!
Look at that smile!
My heart is pounding like a drum!
He's smiling! Oh, stop smiling!
I feel like I have to go relieve myself.
Is that allowed?
The only rule is to not hurt the horse.
The mallet can be used to strike, hit and punch! Everything is allowed!
Of course, people fall and break bones and perhaps even die.
But aren't the mallets supposed to be made of hollow bamboo?
That's the rule of this sport as far as I know.
If it's not hollow then what's in it?
Are those really bamboo mallets?
It looks and sounds like they're being hit with metal!
Of course they're metal.
I'm saying that the mallets are filled with metal.
That is from 30 years' experience as a blacksmith and as a descendant of a blacksmith family.
Where are your horses? I thought you wanted me to look at their horseshoes.
Where do we put all of this?
I said where are the horses?
The Red Orb - Sacred Symbol of the Phoenix
Camp of Yellow Team (Central Gye-ru Province)
Did you see me strike that lug?
Yes, but you shouldn't have struck his neck. You could have killed him.
At least I prevented their goal. At least tell me I did well!
You did well.
It's so heavy!
- Are mallets supposed to be so heavy? - Who are you?
I came to congratulate you on your victory!
Well, that's a lie. Actually, I came to take a look at your mallets.
Give them back before I get angry.
This is as I suspected.
- How much will you pay me? - You...!
If I take this mallet...and run all the way to those men...
But if you would like to pay for my silence, there's nothing I can do about that.
You crazy wench!
You have a mouth of an outhouse! Hey, flea brain!
Do you realize I'm blackmailing you?
One word from me and your Yellow Team is disqualified!
Then I'll block your mouth!
I'll make sure you can't open it!
A mere thirty coins would silence me.
It's not that much.
What are you doing?
She is a girl and she is unarmed.
You're...Lord Ho Gae!
I am the great Master Hyungo's disciple, Sujini.
- I am here to... - She put something in our water.
The other teams must have sent her. I saw her do it with my own two eyes.
- She put something in our water! - What is he talking about?
- Who sent you? - This is unbelievable!
Well, I just...!
Where are you...?
I'll take care of her. I'll interrogate the truth out of her!
Isn't there someone else who needs to tell the truth?
Don't come here! Run away! Why are you here? Go away!
Your highness.
It was a good match.
It is an honor.
Ho Gae of the Yon Family...
What shall we do? Shall we call the spectators to come and see?
Your father will be disgraced.
I do not understand what you mean.
Mallets are supposed to be made of hollow bamboo, but yours have metal in them.
Isn't that cheating?
Were you unaware of this?
If you give that girl money, she will keep her mouth closed.
Give her a good sum.
My Prince...
I cannot let this go undeclared. I will tell the truth and accept the consequences.
As the chief of the Yellow Team, I will take full responsibility.
Don't.
If you do, I'll be in trouble.
Actually, I'm not supposed to be here. I've been forbidden outside of the palace grounds.
So...let's do this.
Exchange these dirty mallets for clean ones.
You didn't see me, and I didn't see these mallets.
Alright?
Hey! Shouldn't you be thanking me for saving your life?
Will you be going this way, your Highness?
- Then I'll go this way. - Did you get the money?
Let me make it simple for you.
Don't say anything about what happened today.
About me, about the Yellow Team and...
No one would believe me, anyway.
That I, a street urchin, had a Prince for a companion!
Who would believe me that I had met the Prince!
And who would believe that the greatest warrior of our nation had put metal illegally in the mallets?
Lower your voice.
Since I am uneducated and therefore ignorant, I will ask you a question.
It makes sense for a street urchin like me to exchange silence for money.
But as the you-know-what of this nation, shouldn't you be more inclined towards justice?
That despicable man cheated in front of the King!
And you want me to keep quiet?
I got money...
But what did you get?
You really are fearless.
That's what my Master says all the time, too.
"You're so fearless that it keeps you full!"
There's a debt to be paid.
Who?
Me.
I have a debt to pay to the son of the Yon Family. Today I paid off the interest.
The Elder wishes to speak to you. Would tonight be opportune for you?
Miss Kiha...
He was smiling.
What?
After that incident happened when he was young, I never saw him smile so easily.
He had a such a big smile...
when he looked at her.
I can't believe it.
What? "You really are fearless."
That's right! I'm fearless! So you have a problem with that?
Hey, disciple!
"Let me make it simple for you."
"Don't say anything about what happened today."
- Unbelievable! - What's so unbelievable?
Nothing important enough for you to know.
I can't even say anything! This is so frustrating!
Alright, alright. So what is Yon Ho Gae doing now?
How should I know what that swindler is doing?
What is the matter with you?
I told you to watch him closely!
They say that all the women in Gooknae Castle dream of him all night.
You must not really be a woman. What should I do with you?
I have no desire to ever see him again - and I can't, anyway.
I said I can't!
You're not...?
- What? - It can't be...
You weren't with that guy, were you?
Did you sleep with him?
If it's not that, how can you, my disciple, not tell your Master what is happening?
Is that why you called him a swindler?
And after it happened, what did that bastard say to you?
What do I do? What do I do now?
- What do I do? - Master.
You didn't?
Secret Hwachun Residence
There was light.
It was weak, but there was light.
When our Miss Kiha and Ho Gae were close to each other...
Were you the one that took it? The Phoenix Heart?
I guarded it closely.
I had to be certain.
So at the tournament, when Yon Ho Gae and I neared each other,
the Phoenix Heart came to life?
But we cannot be certain.
I plan on paying a visit to Yon Ho Gae.
I will invite you, too. We can both confirm it then.
And when it is confirmed... What happens next?
We will make him King of Goguryeo as planned.
Then the altar under the Hwachun's Abullansa Temple will be unsealed.
The Blue Dragon, White Tiger, and Turtle Snake...
We must make him find the Sacred Symbols.
You surprised me.
How did you find this place?
It's supposed to a secret place, but everyone knows it!
I came to tell you I won't do what you want.
I will reveal what happened today. What we did to the King and the people.
I will accept the consequences.
Does that make you more respectable?
- Shall I not do it? - Don't. It'll be troublesome.
Wasn't it your intention to use something like this against me in the future?
I do not wish to have a weakness.
It's the same for me, too.
If it becomes known that I was outside palace grounds, there will be much trouble for me.
We didn't see each other today, alright?
In that case, will be alright if we continue?
I am a desperate man.
I am different from another person who killed someone else's mother and never paid the consequences.
I can never find my place unless I work hard.
So what will you do?
First, I will claim victory in this tournament.
I plan on making the people of this nation support me.
It won't be easy.
Have you seen the Black Team? They won't be easy to defeat.
And besides, the nation's greatest fortune teller had told me they'd win.
Did you not hear what I said? I told you I was a desperate man.
You don't quite understand what that means, do you?
Then I will assume I have your permission and will take my leave.
I said no, didn't I?
I said I didn't want to! I can't!
He keeps making me follow people around!
Follow who? That swindler?
Master...He's so...
Can't you restrain yourself?
Do you always talk even when you're alone?
Don't you think that's an illness?
What brings you here at night?
So... have you decided to live out here on the streets?
I was tired of reading books, so I came out to watch people.
And someone told me she'd take me somewhere interesting.
That man looks familiar.
The leader is in there, so it's obvious his men would be, too.
Yon Ho Gae is in there drinking.
- Ho Gae? - Yes.
He's playing tomorrow, but he's drinking like crazy!
Well, that's good for me, because the Black Team will win.
And I'll make money.
Lord Ho Gae.
Why?
Why did you do such a thing? Why?
I wanted to win.
Like this? In this way?
It is every man's dream to become a knight.
But unless one wins the tournament, it is impossible to enter the ranks.
Did you not think that we could win without cheating?
Did you believe that even under my leadership, the Yellow Team would lose?
- Even under my... - No, that is not true.
It doesn't matter if you win or lose...
It doesn't matter if I win or lose?
Me?
No, I cannot lose...
...to anyone.
I can never lose to anyone.
Do you understand me? I should not have lost.
He should never have found such things in my team.
We will win! We will surely win!
We were held in contempt before the prince. If we don't win...
The prince?
Did you say the prince?
Did you just call him the prince in front of me?
Il Soo...
Yes, sir.
You must have planned something for tomorrow's tournament.
If it were you, you would have prepared something in order to guarantee victory.
As you did with the mallets.
They used herbs in the horse feed and metal mallets.
I wonder what's next?
In any case, it'll be interesting for us to see something new.
- Lady! Give us wine! - Wine? Here.
- Me first. - You ordered more wine?
Aren't you playing tomorrow?
Stop nagging me in front of the precious wine.
Let's go and get some sleep.
Oh, come on...
It's because I'm so nervous and can't sleep.
Nervous? You sleep so deeply you snore!
Wretched boy! Who's your opponent tomorrow?
- It's Yon Ho Gae's Yellow Team! - So what?
We have to get at least one goal in so that our defeat won't look so bad.
To get that one goal, we have to fortify ourselves with wine!
Defeat? Who?
- We won't be defeated! - Of course we won't be? Who said that?
Drink up!
Why did you take my wine away in the first place?
Are you alright?
Let me look at it.
We have to go the physician. Can you walk?
I'll carry you. Get on!
Get down. Get down!
Thank you, but we have to play tomorrow in the tournament.
At least have your wounds tended to.
If they know we are injured, we won't be allowed to play.
So leave us be and go on your way.
- Can you get us a horse? - It's three coins a day.
One extra for the late hours.
Go get it.
That.. that looks like a priestess from the Temple.
That's... that's right.
How did you get a priestess to come here?
It's a bit complicated.
And that man? Who is he? Why are you with him all the time?
That...that is really complicated.
In any case, thank you.
You can trust her. She is quite well-known for her healing skills.
Why?
We accepted your help, but you and that girl... it's a bit suspicious.
When that girl was causing problems in our camp, were you with her, too?
You look like you're a pair. What do you want?
Isn't your back more important than what I want?
- Do you have good players? - We used to. We had over twenty.
But?
During the invasion of the barbarians from the north, half of them were killed.
We asked for reinforcements, but no one paid us any attention.
That's why our team is so small. So I ask you again.
What kind of people are you?
Nice people. Just say thank you.
Why do you help us? We're not even from this province.
Because we placed our wagers on you.
What?
My entire fortune... I wagered it on you. So you can't lose.
Alright?
My name is Sueh Duru, eldest son of Heuk Du Village in the Julno Province.
You are the son of the Julno tribe elder?
If you heard someone else's name then you should say what yours is.
I don't want to.
I need to boil some medicinal herbs. Is there someone that can do that?
Do you have to boil it? Why can't they just eat it?
Everyone is busy.
You know... Have you seen me before?
That's strange... I feel like I've seen you before.
She's a priestess so she wouldn't have had Master tell her fortune.
Do... do you like to drink?
- Did I see you at the wine house? - That man has broken his bone.
He should stay off his injured leg.
And that man who hurt his back, I have used herbs to stop the blood.
He should take caution until it is fully healed.
And the man who was stabbed...
Oh, I know! The gambling den.
You like to gamble, don't you?
He has suffered internal injuries, so he must take medicine.
And he must be stabilized.
Tournament Field - Black Team Encampment (North Representative: Julno Province)
Don't be so obstinate.
- How can you play in your condition? - What about you? You should be resting.
- You can't even stand. - You're playing?
Fine. Then I'm playing, too.
- Gun Dul. - Yes.
I don't care if you can't hit the ball. Just don't fall off the horse.
Don't worry! I won't. If I die, I'll die on the horse.
Pompous boy. You're not even a warrior and you have dreams to die on a horse?
Let's go.
Tournament Finals Yellow Team (Gye-ru Province) vs. Black Team (Julno Province)
He's called the Walking Boar.
Sueh Duru from Heuk Du Village! His nickname is the Walking Boar.
If he dies, he will die standing up.
What are they doing?
Those... those bastards!
They're attacking the Boar!
They're trying to kill him!
Don't you have any other players? Change the players!
Do you know how to ride?
As long as the horse isn't dead, I can ride it. Why?
Can you ride a horse and hit a ball?
What's wrong with you? What's wrong with your torso?
You stupid boy! Why didn't you fall off the horse? You broke your hand to stay on?
The two of you cannot play any more. Get someone else to fill your positions.
I am fine. Just send this boy out.
If you are injured, you cannot play. Change your players.
Change what players? I'm the last player!
Then do you withdraw?
Do you withdraw?
Due to a shortage of players, the Black Team...
No! No, don't!
What's that?
We are Duk and Sujini, substitutes for the Julno Province Black Team.
Grant us entry!
- Have you seen my disciple? - That way! Go that way!
Yes, that's right! That way!
That...that...!
Sujini!
Don't you think we should stop?
But we're winning.
I don't think this is about winning or losing.
There's something strange about Lord Yon Ho Gae.
Don't you feel his blood thirst?
I do.
You know who that is.
The Prince!
What are they saying?
That's Prince Dam Duk?
The King's son...
The prince?
- What's going on? - That's Sujini and that's the prince?
They did not know who I was. I joined the game without their knowledge.
It is my fault and no one else's.
Please...take that into account.
This cannot have happened!
The throne and its king are the center of our nation.
They cannot support any one province.
The prince played today as part of the Black Team of the Julno Province.
Does that mean that you consider the other three provinces
to be less important than Julno Province?
An illegitimate player has played for Julno's Black Team.
They have been deceitful before the King and the people.
Halt the tournament and imprison all those involved.
I lied to everyone so that I could play. I am the only one at fault...
Imprison the King's son first!
Your Majesty! There is no prison that will imprison the prince. I cannot obey!
Then...
Your Majesty, confine the prince in the Royal Tombs,
and confer with the cabinet on what actions need to be taken.
The prince merely...
Obey my command immediately!
I have already given my command!
Yon Residence Dungeon
Hey! I'm not supposed to be here! I'm not supposed to be here!
You've made a mistake! Hey!
Please take one.
- Bok Soon! Where are you? - Here.
Put these away.
Ba Son! Ba Son!
Come in.
So... she's imprisoned at the Yon Residence?
I saw her. They were going to feed them, so I followed them in.
And she was there! So I asked if it really was Sujini.
And she then asked me how I knew her.
Why aren't they in the public prison?
Shall I go ask?
How is she? Has she been beaten up badly?
- She seemed fine. - No, no. They'll beat her for sure.
- Stop saying that! - She doesn't have enough meat on her!
She'll die for sure from three or four blows!
Do something! You're her master!
Then I'll be going...
Shall I call the mercenaries?
Jumuchi is from the Siwoo Tribe, but for money he'll fight for anyone.
He's the best. He has never been defeated.
Shall I call him? We'll tear down the walls and help them escape!
My... my husband is coming home soon and I have to be home. I have to go, so...
That's Cho Ju Do.
He's one of the sycophants in the Yon camp.
And behind him...
Gooknae Palace - Prince's Quarters
Four guardians?
Blue Dragon, White Tiger, Phoenix, and Turtle Snake...
The Guardians of the four corners of Goguryeo.
I am sure you have heard the legend of their sacred symbols.
Didn't you say you brought someone to talk about the destiny of Goguryeo?
The sacred symbols are said to awaken when they meet the Joo Shin King.
The owners of these sacred symbols will then submit to the King.
And with the help of the Four Guardians, it is said that he will unite the land into one nation.
If this is a tale told by storytellers and palm readers, the women and children might enjoy it more than I.
But you know that my house has no women or children in it.
The night of the birth of your son...
I have heard that the Joo Shin Star appeared.
If you are here about trade rights, go to the Post village.
The Phoenix Heart is in my possession.
Only the novices on night duty should be about.
Where are you going?
I have also identified the owner of the Phoenix Heart.
She is said to be one of the priestesses in the Temple.
I would like for the owner of this Phoenix Heart to meet with Lord Ho Gae.
We will see if the Phoenix Heart awakens... We will see if he is who he is...
- We will see then. - Why are you interested in the Joo Shin King?
Because I am a man of this land.
If I can meet the man who will stop the wars and unite the land into one,
I will give everything that I have to him.
Gak Dan (Chief of the Third Regiment)
I am Chief Gak Dan of the Third Regiment. Do you wish to speak to me?
Will you come inside?
This is the tomb of the deceased kings of our nation.
We cannot enter this place.
Is that so?
Then I'll leave this place. I have something to do.
Forgive us, but your Highness is to be in confinement.
Unless commanded otherwise, we cannot allow you to leave.
This is what we'll do.
Since you are not the only one guarding this place -
I hate to ask you this - but will you become my hostage?
Are you confident that you can overcome me?
Must I overcome you?
Third Regiment, listen to me!
- Yes. - Yes.
The Prince wishes to leave the Tombs.
If he can overcome me within thirty seconds, I will allow him to leave. Any objections?
No, Lieutenant!
Du Sam!
- I fear I will harm you. - Even if you do, I promise I won't cry.
If you say so.
What did you say your name was?
The prisoners are being held at the Yon Residence.
Have you returned from sharing the Prince's bed?
Do you want me to give up my position?
Do you want to say that Dam Duk has no right to be Prince?
The title of Prince is given to those who will become King.
You have waited for a very long time.
Capture the heart of the young Lord Yon Ho Gae.
In the meantime, I plan on causing a little stir in this nation.
None of the noble families consider Dam Duk as the next King.
Open the gate!
Do you really believe in the Joo Shin Star?
If your destiny is to become the Joo Shin King,
I will bow before that destiny and accept it.
Do you want me to lead an insurrection?
I must make my son the King of Goguryeo.
