Episode 12
Seol Doan, back down now.
I don't want to kill a friend.
I don't want to kill you either.
But I'm fighting for the Mohe people.
I won't forgive anyone who attacks Goguryeo even if it's a friend.
Lower your sword and withdraw your soldiers.
We are no longer friends.
If you don't surrender, I will kill you.
Retreat! Retreat!
Chief!
Chief! We have to retreat.
We must retreat.
Seol Doan, you ungrateful little...
Did you forget we saved your life?
- We have to retreat. - No way.
We're not retreating now.
Get out of my way!
Don't run!
We have to take the fortress!
We're being cut off. We have to retreat.
They attacked from the rear, too.
Come on. We have to go.
Damdeok! Let go of me!
Let him go.
He's the leader of the Mohe people.
I can't kill a friend.
Killing isn't everything.
We suffered a lot of damage.
Our friendship is over.
Wait and see!
I'll get you next time!
Prince!
I can't believe you're alive.
I'm the lord of Chaekseong, Kang Dae.
It is such an honor.
It is an honor, prince.
We thought something happened to you.
You saved Chaekseong.
Where have you been?
There isn't much time right now.
We can talk later.
Let's go to the command post.
Yes, prince.
This way.
Okay.
Chief!
Why did you order us to retreat?
We could have taken the fortress.
Bangcho is in charge of strategies. He suggested it.
Why did you make us retreat?
The enemy made a counterattack.
They cut off our forces right in the middle.
You could have all been killed.
I was about to capture a prince of Goguryeo.
What?
A prince of Goguryeo?
There's a prince at Chaekseong?
Yes, Prince Damdeok of Goguryeo.
Good.
We'll attack tomorrow and capture the prince of Goguryeo.
Tomorrow will be too late.
We have to attack before he comes up with a strategy.
Damages will be greater if we have a siege warfare at night.
We should attack when the sun rises tomorrow.
He unified people who tried to kill him and escaped from the slave merchant.
He must not be given the opportunity to command soldiers.
I don�t' care how good he is.
He can't turn this situation around.
We'll attack when the sun rises tomorrow.
Be prepared.
- Yes, chief! - Uncle!
Doan.
You must not take Damdeok lightly.
He makes the impossible happen.
Do you understand?
They retreated, but they will reorganize and attack again.
They have great force.
We have to raise the wooden fences again and dig more traps.
You should apply clay to the fences in case they use fire.
We'll need more sand and water, too.
Who are these men?
Cheongun.
They helped me when I was in trouble.
I am Hwang Hoe.
Hwang Hoe?
The man who served Lee Chunseong?
That's right.
How dare you come here?
He is a wanted felon for embezzlement.
You shouldn't associate with him.
Tie him up right now!
Stop!
Lower those swords right now!
But he...
The men who defended the fortress today were bandits led by Hwang Hoe.
What?
You brought bandits in the fortress?
Who knows what they will do?
He was charged falsely.
He was leading Goguryeo soldiers who became deserters out of no choice.
They saved my life and came with me to save Chaekseong.
Deserters?
That's even more suspicious.
They must all be locked up.
General, we became bandits to survive.
We had no choice.
But we would like to defend our country again.
We know the geography and the Mohe people.
Give us a change and we will drive them out.
We need all the help we can get.
You said you don't know when the reinforcements will arrive.
- But... - What?
I have a strategy to defeat the Mohe.
Please hear me out.
How will you defeat the Mohe?
They have three times more soldiers than we do.
This is how.
What?
What do you think you're doing?
What will you do with a brush?
One brush can shake them all up.
Move!
Mohe camp
Move!
Make way!
General! General!
General.
Look at this.
It's a secret message that arrived in front of General Bang Cho's tent.
A secret message?
Is it from Goguryeo?
I think so.
I have to tell the chief.
This is a secret message from Goguryeo.
A secret message?
It's a scheme.
It says they'll attack tonight and they want Bangcho to do as promised.
He convinced his tribe to join you.
He came to serve you.
Why would he collude with Goguryeo?
That could be part of his strategy.
He could drive me out with Goguryeo's power and become chief.
He did order us to retreat pretty quickly today.
Right.
We can't be hasty about this.
Watch Bangcho, then you can decide what to do.
No.
We could be annihilated by the Goguryeo soldiers.
It's a risk to wait if there is a traitor.
he's not a traitor.
That's what Damdeok wants you to think.
What if they really attack?
Do you want to regret it later?
So, be prepared!
It looks like they're going to raid us.
What?
The Goguryeo soldiers are coming.
- Go! - Yes, chief!
Are you crazy?
We can't attack with this number.
Do you want to die?
We barely escaped the slave merchant.
Why are you taking us to danger?
Why do we need all this for a raid?
We're practically announcing that we're here.
The Mohe are going to kill us because of this crazy fool.
Yell louder.
What?
Yell louder so they can hear us.
Now I know what you're up to.
You want to sell us to the Mohe?
How much are they going to pay you?
Bandits will do anything for money.
You'll never change.
Did you think we'd fall for it?
They're here.
What?
General Bangcho!
Why did you come here?
You were supposed to capture the chief from the rear.
What?
Bangcho?
It's me, Hwang Hoe.
We really like the weapons that you sent us.
What?
Weapons?
He said some were stolen by bandits on the way back from Houyan.
It was all a lie.
Bangcho is colluding with the enemy.
Why don't you answer me?
Send a fire signal when you capture the chief.
We will come and protect you.
What are you doing?
Attack! Don't let a single man live.
Shoot!
It's not Bangcho! They found out our plans.
Retreat! Retreat!
What kind of a raid is this?
Bisu, if you don't want to die, let's get out of here.
Bisu!
Let's see.
It's the same weapon.
We have to return to camp and take care of Bangcho.
Let's go.
Chief, what's going on?
You traitor!
What are you talking about?
We have proof.
That's a plot. It's a scheme to divide us.
Why didn't you send soldiers when they raided us?
They told me you already left, so I was preparing to defend the rear.
What? The rear?
Yes.
You were waiting for a chance to capture him from the rear.
That's wrong.
I might be from a different tribe, but I share your goal to establish our country.
The Goguryeo soldiers will be happy if we fall for this plot.
How will you explain this?
It's a sword from Houyan.
That was stolen by bandits.
Stop lying.
Why do Goguryeo soldiers have what the bandits should have?
I don't know.
I really don't know.
You traitor.
Cut off his head.
- Chief! - Uncle.
Think about it.
It could really be a plot as he says.
You can decide after you investigate.
What more proof do we need?
The traitor has to be killed.
No!
Bangcho is a loyal person.
Killing him recklessly would result in many tribes leaving.
Lock him up!
- Yes, chief! - Chief!
It's a plot. Chief!
My lord! My lord.
There seems to be a dispute among the Mohe.
Groups of people are asking that Bangcho be freed.
Is that so?
The Mohe people consist of different tribes.
They don't unite easily.
Seol Gaechu forced them together.
But they don't trust each other.
That's why our message worked.
Bangcho is their strategist.
They will be confused for a while.
Good job.
Your plan worked.
We bought some time until reinforcements arrive.
No, we can't just sit and wait.
What?
Soldiers who trust each other are just a bunch of misfits.
It will be harder for us to defeat them if they unite their forces.
They wouldn't expect us to attack first since we're smaller in number.
Hwang Hoe put his life on the line for his plot.
I will put mine on the line.
I will take the lead.
Will you fight with me or sit here and wait?
- Release general Bangcho! - Release general Bangcho!
Chief!
Have they calmed down a bit?
Most of the tribes are refusing to fight. They want general Bangcho released.
Our concern became a reality.
Chief!
Chief, the Goguryeo soldiers are coming.
What? I ought to...
Go and fight!
It's the enemy!
Attack!
They already entered our camp.
Chief, you should take refuge.
What?
What are the other generals doing?
They're all trying to save their own tribes.
Thousands of soldiers have fled.
What?
There's no time. Hurry.
I ought to...
I'll buy you some time.
Seol Ji, take him and get out of here!
Okay, let's go.
I'll get you.
I'm Prince Damdeok of Goguryeo.
The Mohe chief will surrender now!
Damdeok!
Seol Doan, I don't want to kill you.
Quit fighting and surrender.
Goguryeo is not the enemy of the Mohe.
Quiet.
I have no choice.
I have to kill you now.
Yeo Seokgae!
What!
Uncle! Uncle!
I'm Hwang Hoe of Goguryeo.
I've been waiting for the chief of the Mohe.
Stop!
Who dares to raise a sword at our chief?
Bangcho...
Get out of here.
What are you doing? Get him out of here.
Uncle.
I shouldn't have suspected him.
Let's go.
I should have captured the chief.
Seol Doan, this is your final warning.
I don't want any grudges between us.
Surrender now.
I won't surrender.
Kill me.
Just kill me.
Tie him up!
Houyan palace
What?
Damdeok is alive?
Yes, Your Majesty.
He's alive.
I saw him with my own eyes.
Prince Bao,
you said you killed Damdeok.
Well...
Your Majesty, he can't be alive.
I shot him with a poisoned arrow.
- There's no way he can be alive. - How dare you?
He tried to kill me.
Are you saying I'm lying?
- But, prince... - Quiet!
You pathetic fool.
You agreed to give Goguryeo 3 million nyangs of gold.
Damdeok is alive?
Well...
What will you do if they find out that you tried to kill Damdeok?
Don't worry about that.
Your Majesty,
the deal was made with the prime minister of Goguryeo.
There won't be any problems.
Be quiet! Why do you keep talking?
Strip him of his position and lock him up in prison!
Your Majesty!
Please give me another chance.
Quiet!
Get him out of here!
Your Majesty! Your Majesty!
- I never want to see him again! - Your Majesty!
Ooh!
Damdeok.
I'll kill you myself.
Prince! Prince!
How did it go?
It's a great victory.
We captured over 600 horses and close to 1,000 prisoners.
Don't kill enemy soldiers who flee.
The nomads in the north are sensitive to rumors.
It will be to our advantage if people find out they were defeated by us.
More killings will just increase grudges.
Yes, prince.
Tell all our soldiers to return.
Yes, sir.
Hi.
What about the chief?
I followed his path of retreat, but he got away.
I'm sorry.
It's alright.
We wouldn't have this victory if it wasn't for your plan.
It's all thanks to you.
Your decision to trust me is what led us to victory.
You did a very good job.
I'm sorry for not trusting you.
I'm grateful that you gave me a chance to fight for my country.
How were you able to trick the Mohe people?
With this.
This is...
These are weapons that you brought.
We stole them from Bangcho.
I left one there and told them Bangcho gave the weapons to us.
The chief suspected Bangcho right away.
I see.
That's not the problem right now.
Take a careful look.
The blade is very sharp and it's made of steel.
It's different from the swords that the Mohe use.
That's right.
It was made in Houyan.
I saw a prince of Houyan at the slave camp.
Houyan could be behind this battle.
Houyan?
Why are you so surprised?
Do you know something?
No.
General!
Commander Ko Mu is here.
What? The commander?
Yes.
Let's go.
Commander, it's me, Damdeok.
Damdeok.
Is it really you?
Yes, uncle.
How have you been?
Prince Damdeok.
You're alright.
We almost had a funeral for you.
What?
We'd better send a message to Gungnaeseong first.
We heard you were attacked.
What happened? Who attacked you?
I'll kill them.
I don't know.
How did the battle go?
We achieved a great victory.
The prince led the soldiers himself.
That's good.
I was worried because we were so late.
Cheongun?
Who are these men?
They are friends who helped me in times of trouble.
They don't have military ranks, but they fought with courage.
These are the prisoners. Should we transfer them to Gungnaeseong?
There's no need.
We can deal with them here and just report it.
What should we do with them?
You and the prince led this battle.
You decide what to do with them.
The prince should decide.
I will abide by his decision.
The prisoners will listen.
Why did you cross the border and attack Chaekseong?
We were going to establish our country, but we failed, so kill us.
Before we became enemies, we fought for our lives together.
How can I kill a friend?
We can never be friends.
Many of my soldiers died at your hands.
How can we be friends?
Kill me now!
How dare you raise your voice at the prince?
Cut off their heads right now!
Yes, sir!
That's right. Kill us.
I'll return as a ghost to take revenge.
Kill me now!
Stop!
Yeongung (Gae Yeonsu's quarters), Gungnaeseong
Prime minister. Prime minister.
What is it?
We have something to tell you.
Ko Un, leave us.
Sure.
What is it?
Prince Damdeok is alive.
We received a message from Chaekseong.
He's not only alive, but he also achieved a great victory against the Mohe.
We hid proof that Houyan people tried to kill Prince Damdeok.
We will have to pay for what we did if they find out about it.
We could be charged with high treason.
We kept it from His Majesty and covered it up.
I told you I was prepared to become a traitor.
It was right to prevent Goguryeo from going to war.
If Prince Damdeok finds out, he will have a grudge.
He will suspect that you tried to protect Houyan.
There is a lot to talk about sending him to Chaekseong in the first place.
We have to send a message and make sure the Chaekseong lord doesn't talk.
Okay.
Here is my decision.
Let them all go.
You can't do that.
They will be in trouble in the future.
They must not be allowed to attack Goguryeo again.
If we kill them now,
they will take revenge on us.
This won't end by killing them.
We should let them live and make them our people someday.
Listen carefully.
Goguryeo people aren't barbarians who only believe in strength.
I was taught by our king to treat the people as friends and with gratitude.
I am going to be virtuous to you.
If you attack Goguryeo again,
I will not forgive you.
Untie them, feed them a warm meal
and let them go.
Now!
We fought for our lives.
Why is he letting them go?
I hope all our grudges are cut off like this rope.
Untie them all.
Didn't you hear me?
Take this.
It's your sword.
I hope this sword protects you and your tribe.
Give them back half of their horses and weapons.
They'll need it to hunt and raise livestock.
Don't ever attack Goguryeo again.
Is this the generosity of a victor?
I want to win your heart.
My heart?
You don't trust me or Goguryeo.
I will change that someday.
You will regret letting me go.
Are you ready?
Yes, prince.
Are we really going with you?
You don't want to?
Of course I do.
It's been a lifetime dream to see Gungnaeseong.
You did the right thing to let the Mohe go.
You can't make them submissive with force.
I hope I did the right thing.
I'm going to say goodbye to the lord of Chaekseong.
- Wait here. - Yes, prince.
I don't have anything to pack.
This is all I have.
- Are you happy? - Yes!
The prime minister said you shouldn't tell anyone.
They tried to kill the prince.
How can they keep it hidden?
I'm just delivering a message from the prime minister.
We could all get into trouble.
Fengba's nameplate was found where the prince was attacked.
Houyan also gave weapons to the Mohe.
We have to tell His Majesty so we can be prepared.
Did you just say Fengba?
Prince.
Tell me what the prime minister is hiding.
What is it?

We can't be hasty about this.
I will do anything to annihilate Goguryeo.
Trust me and give me one more chance.
I will bring you Damdeok's head.
You'll kill Damdeok?
He came back alive and he found out everything?
He won't let this go.
Just give us the order.
This is the prime minister's house. I'd like to talk to him.
- You should avoid seeing him. - Why should I avoid him?
Who dared to make an assassination attempt?
The people who attacked me...
