I'll give you your crown prince.
Back away!
Prince.
You can't do that.
Prince.
Stop!
Bring him in the fortress.
Come in the fortress now!
Damdeok (later becomes King Gwanggaeto)
Murong Bao (Crown Prince of Houyan)
Crown prince.
Untie him and let him go now.
Let our people go first.
Then, I'll let him go.
If you come any closer, I'll kill him on the spot.
I won't let you have him until I see the prisoners released.
Come in the fortress.
I will negotiate.
Go and get him.
- Yes, sir! - Yes, sir!
Hurry up and release the prisoners.
Release the prisoners.
Hurry!
Release all the prisoners.
Let them go.
Go! Go!
Get out of here!
Are you happy?
Let the crown prince go.
Crown prince. Crown prince.
Leave.
Crown prince, let's go.
Do you think I'll leave like this?
I will die here or take you with me.
Crown prince!
You!
Prince.
If you try anything stupid again, my arrow will pierce your heart.
Leave.
Crown prince.
Let's go.
- Kill him right now! - Crown prince.
Kill him!
Crown prince, calm down.
- Your safety comes first. - Let's go.
Shoot your arrows! Kill him!
Kill him right now!
Let's go!
I will pay you back for this.
I will not let you live.
You gave up the opportunity to save hundreds of thousands for a few dozen.
You call yourself a general of Goguryeo?
Are we to watch our people die in front of our eyes?
It was a chance to end this battle.
You should have endured it even if it was worse.
Watch a living person burn to death?
Every victory has sacrifices.
A general has to kill his family when necessary.
I don't care if you punish me.
If the same thing happens again, I'm going to put their lives first.
You still don't know what you did wrong?
The Houyan soldiers will attack more aggressively now.
More people will die than the people you saved today.
I won't allow any arbitrary actions.
You are deprived of all military power.
Lock him up in prison.
Commander!
There are no exceptions to a military command.
He will be punished for disobeying a direct order.
I said lock him up in prison!
You are an insult to Houyan.
Take your own life.
No, crown prince.
You can't do that.
Your Majesty!
- Please forgive him. - Please forgive him.
Please forgive him.
- Please forgive him. - Please forgive him.
How can I forgive him?
He was captured and dragged around by a prince of Goguryeo.
Houyan has never been insulted like this.
Are you afraid to take your own life?
Why are you hesitating?
Wipe away the disgrace.
I am not afraid of dying.
But I will live a little longer with this humiliation.
You!
Your Majesty, please!
I can't die until I have my revenge on Damdeok.
I will take my life after I destroy Yodongseong and kill Damdeok.
Attack!
Don't let a single person live.
Crown prince.
What's that sound?
The Houyan soldiers are attacking.
It looks like they'll attack all night.
What?
Stop them!
Don't let them over the wall!
Stop them!
We have to guard the gate! Shoot the siege tower!
Bring more arrows!
Shoot!
Maintain your positions! We must defend the gate!
Attack! Attack!
Do not retreat!
Attack!
We must destroy Yodongseong!
Kill them! Do not retreat!
Stop them! Do not let them over the gate!
Kill the Houyan soldiers!
Throw fire!
Do not let a single soldier come over the wall!
Kill them!
Do not be afraid!
Don't come down!
Climb the wall! Climb the wall!
Climb the wall! Climb the wall now!
Crown prince.
We must destroy Yodongseong!
I will kill anyone who retreats!
I am going to take Yodongseong!
The Houyan soldiers will attack more aggressively now.
More people will die than the people you saved today.
No.
The crown prince seems to have lost his mind.
He wants revenge.
He was humiliated.
We can't just attack like this.
How much will I pay for Yodongseong?
It seems like someone is wavering at Yodongseong.
How can we believe this? It could be a ploy.
They aren't eating properly and we're attacking forcefully.
It's natural there is a traitor.
When a boat sinks, the rats jump first.
Leave it up to me.
I will use the traitor.
The soldiers in Yodongseong will listen.
If you leave the fortress, you will be given warm food and a cart of gold.
You!
Do you think you can test the loyalty of Goguryeo soldiers with gold?
Just leave!
If you come alone, you get one cart.
Bring two soldiers and you'll get two carts.
If you give up Yodongseong...
You will have the fortress with its walls covered in gold.
That should have answered the message.
General!
Did you receive word?
He must have changed his mind.
You said you'll give me Yodongseong?
Nobody is missing.
I see.
Of course.
There's no need for such a commotion.
I have something to say.
Go ahead.
The soldiers are hungry and this can be tempting.
We have to do something.
Like what?
I will go to the enemy camp.
What?
Stop.
I'm going to be captured. What's the use of that?
I can't guarantee that I'll return alive even if my plan succeeds.
I would like to bow for the last time, father.
You might never come back.
It would be an honor to sacrifice myself for Yodongseong.
Forgive me for not being able to stop my son from going.
The country fed me.
I'm just being loyal.
I'm only upset that I can't be by your side.
I really hope this plan will work.
Chang...
Damdeok.
Uncle, what brings you here?
How are you?
I'm sorry.
I know you did it out of love for the people.
But it is a great honor to die for the country.
You might have saved their lives,
but took away their chance to die with honor.
I'm sure you don't understand it now, but you will someday.
Don't forget the big picture.
You are a prince of Goguryeo.
Uncle.
Uncle!
Who's there?
I'll buy us some time. Get out of here!
Go now!
Get him!
You captured Ko Mu's son?
Yes, Your Majesty.
On your knees.
Hey!
Get down on your knees! Right now!
Everyone kneels to me.
Do you think I will be submissive to you?
Kill me now!
What?
You!
Stop!
He insulted you.
I can't just kill Ko Mu's son.
I'm sure there will be a use for him.
- Flog him. - Yes, sir!
What was your mission?
Where were you headed?
Tell me and you will suffer less.
No way.
Just kill me.
I'm not going to just kill you.
I'm going to make you suffer. It will be worse than death.
It is general Ko Chang!
It looks like the plan failed.
No, it didn't fail yet.
Stop!
I'm going to see how your father reacts to the way you die in pain.
Ko Mu, listen.
I have your son.
Open the gate and give up Yodongseong.
Or I will burn your son's flesh and rip his organs into pieces.
If you love your son, kneel to me and surrender!
Father, it's me.
Please put that bow away.
It's me, father!
Father!
- Commander. - Commander.
That's enough.
Please stop!
I can't.
Don't you know what my son intends?
General.
That crazy fool.
I will tell you all our secrets.
Please release me!
I can't die at the hands of my father!
Good.
Reinforcements are coming from Gungnaeseong,
Ansiseong and Baegamseong.
They will gather here in two days and attack at once.
In two days?
Just a minute.
Your Majesty, we didn't hear any word of Goguryeo soldiers coming.
They are only moving at night.
Send scouts and see.
It's too late to send scouts.
We will leave early tomorrow to wait in ambush.
You take the lead.
You want me to fight against our soldiers?
I'm not asking.
It's an order.
Fine.
You can go now.
What he's saying is different from what we know.
We can't trust him.
That's right.
I still have my doubts.
But you saw Ko Mu shoot an arrow at him.
He is betraying them because of his father.
Goguryeo soldiers are treacherous.
We don't know what they'll do.
Beiwei is preparing to attack. There is no time.
- Prepare to head out. - Yes, Your Majesty!
Your Majesty.
Your Majesty, stop.
We received word from a spy in Yodongseong.
Self-injury scheme?
Yes. He is a spy.
He was captured on purpose.
Murong Chui, my sword will kill you!
Murong Chui!
It was almost a success.
You dare try to trick us with your son?
Ko Mu!
Did you see that?
It was a secret.
How did they find out?
- Open the cell. - Yes, sir.
Please forgive me.
Do you know what you did wrong?
I learned that I can't be attached to affection to save the country.
If I waver because of what I see, there will be a larger sacrifice.
That's right.
Your uncle is dying in the enemy camp.
He volunteered knowing he would die.
When the battle begins, our soldiers will advance toward the enemy.
They know they will die.
That's what battle is.
It's harder to die a meaningful death than it is to survive.
It is natural to be in rage.
But a general must not ruin a greater plan because he can't overcome rage.
I taught you a strict lesson because the future of Goguryeo lies on you.
Grandfather.
I might be your grandfather, but I imprisoned a prince of Goguryeo.
I have committed a wrongdoing.
I was taught a lesson because I was lacking.
I will never forget this.
Please get up.
There is something you must do.
Yes.
Anything.
There is a Houyan spy among us.
What?
What are you talking about?
Only the people here knew about Ko Chang's scheme.
But, somehow, they found out.
That means we have a spy.
Commander!
This was found in the spy's quarters.
Whose quarters?
This man right here.
Mo Duyeong is a Houyan spy!
It's not me.
I'm innocent.
The proof is right here.
Where did you get all this gold?
I don't know anything about that.
The prince is mistaken.
Do not be tricked by this spy.
I will interrogate him myself.
- Take him away. - Yes, sir!
He's mistaken.
I'm not a spy.
Commander!
Harder! Harder!
It's not me. I'm not a spy.
Please believe me.
You still won't confess?
My uncle is being tortured because of you.
I'm sure you told them.
Confess.
Who else is colluding with them?
It's not me!
You were careless. You have the wrong person!
What?
Did you just say I'm careless?
Stop! Stop!
Stop!
He didn't do anything wrong.
I know he would never do such a thing.
Commander, my brother would never commit treason.
He thought of you as a father. He is a loyal servant.
How can you doubt my brother?
Then where did all that gold come from?
I don't know.
But my brother is innocent. Please stop torturing him!
Quiet!
Are you saying I'm torturing an innocent person?
That's not what I'm saying.
Are you siding with a traitor?
Are you in on this with him?
No, never.
Neither of us did anything wrong.
Someone is framing me.
You still...
Commander!
Duyeong!
We will continue this tomorrow.
Lock him up!
Duyeong!
Lock him up!
Commander!
Yes, sir.
Duyeong! Duyeong!
Let me see my brother.
The prince said nobody was to go in.
I just want to see him for a second.
You served my brother.
Do you want to be ungrateful?
Make it quick.
Duyeong.
Duru.
How are you?
I'm alright.
Tell me the truth.
Are you really a spy?
What are you saying?
I would never do such a thing.
Where did all that gold come from?
I don't know.
Someone probably planted it there.
Then protest.
You'll die.
The prince and commander believe that I am the spy.
They're upset because general Ko Chang is dying.
You have always been loyal. How can they doubt you?
It's the will of the heavens.
Then I'll abandon them.
Why be loyal to a country that doesn't appreciate it?
What?
You have to leave now.
Give me the key.
General.
Duru!
Do you want to die?
Duru!
What are you doing?
I'm taking you to the Houyan camp.
What?
You're going to die anyway.
What are you doing? We can't betray our country!
They betrayed us first.
You can't die like this.
Be careful. Let's hurry.
Stop!
Will you still say that I was mistaken?
They are definitely Houyan spies.
No! We're not spies!
Then why did you try to run away?
We have definite proof.
Capture those traitors!
You have to go.
Duru! Save yourself.
- Duyeong! - Go!
Duyeong!
Get him!
Duyeong!
Duru! Get out of here!
Duyeong!
Capture them!
Get him!
He's a Houyan spy!
Do not let him get away alive!
Get him!
What will we do?
Mo Duru knows all our military strategies.
He surrendered from Yodongseong?
Yes, Your Majesty.
He is in charge of defensive formations.
Defensive formations?
Please save my brother. Please...
This could be another ploy.
We can't trust him.
I agree.
Drag him out of here and cut off his head.
Your Majesty!
Please save my brother.
If you save my brother, I'll get you the head of the Yodongseong lord.
I will kill Ko Mu.
Stop!
Do you mean that?
You will kill Ko Mu?
Yes, Your Majesty.
I know the fortress well.
I could sneak in and kill Ko Mu.
Is that so?
Instead, attack Yodongseong tomorrow and save my brother.
He will die if you wait.
We can't believe everything he says.
We have nothing to lose.
If he kills Ko Mu, it will be a great advantage for us.
If he doesn't, it's no loss for us.
Yes, but...
How will you kill him?
Just leave it up to me.
I can sneak into the fortress through the drains.
I know where his room is.
I will stab him in the heart.
Your Majesty.
I will go with him.
I will make sure that Ko Mu is dead.
Fine.
Be sure to kill Ko Mu.
Yes, Your Majesty.
If I succeed, you must promise to attack Yodongseong tomorrow.
My brother's life is in danger.
Okay.
Thank you.
I will leave right now.
Wait!
Your Majesty, tell him to kill Damdeok, not Ko Mu.
If you kill him, you will be killing the future of Goguryeo.
Yes, kill Damdeok.
I want Damdeok's head.
I will give you everything you want if you kill Damdeok.
Then I will kill Damdeok.
I will kill him.
But...
I said I will kill him.
Who are you?
You... You're...
