- Is everyone here? - Yes, Prince.
- Let's go. - Yes, Prince.
Near the Goguryeo border
General Fengba.
I'm Mu Gap.
I'm glad you came.
You!
You're...
Am I glad to see you.
I could never forget your face.
Stop it!
We are here to save you by the Houyan emperor's order.
What?
That's right.
They came to help us escape Goguryeo.
I have a debt to repay him.
You...
When I think about what you did to me...
Stop it!
Just stop it.
You can get your revenge after we get out of here.
You won't have a way out of here if you kill me.
Is that what you want?
Follow me.
Let's go.
Okay.
Border checkpoint
Hello.
The soldiers will step forward.
They're not here.
Who are they?
They are traitors who escaped to Goguryeo.
What's the problem?
I'm sorry, but they're all sick with a plague.
You're transporting people with a plague?
Do you want to die?
That's not it.
The reward is five silver coins for each one.
They're getting away! Get them!
Oh, my money! Get them!
Stop!
Get them.
Thank you.
Stop my money!
Stop!
Who are you?
We are Cheongun under Prince Damdeok's command.
This is Prince Damdeok.
Prince.
Have you seen any suspicious people?
A slave merchant was bringing a bunch of people with a plague.
The slaves ran off, so they went after them.
There wasn't anyone other than them.
Did you check them?
We checked the soldiers,
but we didn't get a chance to check the slaves.
That would be the perfect way to cross the border.
Don't worry.
If they want to cross the border, they have to pass here.
Prince!
Prince.
What is it?
There is movement in those woods.
The woods?
Mo Duru and Yeon Salts, stay here and watch for the slave merchant.
We'll check out the woods.
Yes, Prince.
- Let's go! - Yes, Prince.
- Did you find any traces? - No.
Find them no matter what.
Yes, Prince.
Let's go!
We captured all of them.
We'll cross the border now.
- Let's go. - Wait!
I'll check them myself.
- What's that? - Huh?
Clothes.
- What are they doing here? - Prince!
Prince, there are clothes here!
Over here.
Look.
I'm sure it's their clothes.
It means they changed.
They plan to cross the border in disguise.
Let's go.
Would you like to check them all?
No, just go.
Okay.
Let's go.
Where are they hiding?
Really.
Where is the slave merchant?
They just passed through.
Were there any suspicious fellows?
No, prince.
The slaves all had some sort of plague.
I checked each one.
None of them were in disguise.
What about the soldiers?
The guard said he checked them before.
You were tricked.
They came back as soldiers.
What?
Let's go after them. It's not too late.
It's too late.
They crossed the border.
They probably have horses.
We don't know where they went.
Gungnaeseong execution ground
Ga Raji, you were a minister of this country, but you committed treason.
You murdered Prince Dammang.
Do you have anything to say?
I am not a criminal!
I only tried to eliminate someone who would ruin this country.
If you died as planned, Goguryeo would have thanked me.
Be quiet!
You still won't admit what you did?
I'll cut off your head myself.
- Prince. - Damdeok!
I'll regret the fact that I couldn't kill you even after I die!
A beheading is too good for you someone who betrays the country.
I'm barely controlling my anger.
Can't you see that?
You killed my brother!
I wanted revenge for my brother.
I'll come back to haunt you.
Prime minister, are you going to abandon me like this?
Look at all the rage you caused.
How can you beg for your life?
Carry out the execution.
Yes, sir!
Prince Dammang planned all this.
It's going as he planned.
It's fortunate it stopped here.
Not really.
What do you mean?
Ga Raji might be dead,
but Prince Damdeok and his men will keep a close eye on everyone who was involved with him.
They'll be watching every move we make.
We have to find a way to avoid any problems.
Is there a way?
Prince Dammang died for this, but he's helping us get our way.
Please designate Prince Damdeok as the crown prince.
Designate the crown prince?
Yes, Your Majesty.
Who knows when we will be threatened again?
The crown prince should be designated for the stability of the royal family.
Commander, what do you think?
He is right.
If you postpone it, the court and the people could waver.
A prompt measure is necessary.
But, Your Majesty, it's a bit early to designate Prince Damdeok as crown prince.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Prince Damdeok doesn't have much court experience.
He can't handle the duties of a crown prince yet.
Prince Lee Hyeon should be designated as the crown prince.
You should consider Prince Damdeok at a later time.
What are you talking about?
How can you suggest designating someone else as the crown prince?
He is right.
There are principles to follow.
Prince Damdeok should be the crown prince.
Anything he lacks should be supplemented by the ministers.
I didn't know you thought so highly of me.
What are you talking about?
Let me just ask one question.
Ga Raji was practically your right arm.
Every move he makes is under your control.
You really didn't know?
Or did you just overlook it?
As far as I know, Ga Raji did not act on his own.
What is the reason you had him executed so quickly without a thorough investigation?
Prompt execution sets a better example to everyone.
Regarding the Houyan forces,
without any definite proof,
it could cause a diplomatic dispute. That's why.
Did you say proof?
When you negotiated with Houyan with that proof,
you should have expected a situation like this to happen.
It's not the same.
As I said before, no matter what the situation, I put Goguryeo first.
You use that as an excuse all the time,
but the truth will be revealed one of these days.
You say it whenever you're in a bind, but I don't believe it at all.
That's a fine sword.
Was it Prince Dammang's?
It possess his will.
Why didn't I see what he was thinking?
I was a foolish brother.
There are always regrets when a death is sudden.
But you have to take over his responsibilities and dreams.
His will and spirit are in you.
It's as if Prince Dammang is alive.
He's alive?
Yes.
I can see it.
You have the same eyes.
I can feel his spirit through you.
So make sure nothing happens to you no matter what.
It's for everyone's sake including Prince Dammang.
You have to be alive for Prince Dammang to be alive.
I almost forgot that.
Thank you.
How can you suggest that Prince Damdeok be designated as crown prince?
It's a matter of course that he becomes the crown prince.
We have no reason to oppose that.
But...
If that is the wrong choice,
we just have to correct it by letting everyone know.
You want to find a way to drive Prince Damdeok out?
Of course.
How?
Nothing is scarier than public sentiment.
Public sentiment is the sentiment of the heavens.
A small spark can cause a great fire.
Dammang could have caught Fengba any time he wanted.
I thought about why he didn't.
Revenge isn't about ending everything with blood.
There are forces in the court that threaten the royal authority
and there are external forces that threaten the future of Goguryeo.
The assassination of Prince Dammang has to do with all that.
That's right.
So, what is the way to take revenge?
What do you think?
Raise strength to make Goguryeo more powerful.
And...
Protect the royal authority with our power.
And stop Houyan, Mohe or whoever from attacking Goguryeo.
That's right.
Dammang chose death to teach me that lesson.
I'm going to achieve all his dreams.
That would be the only way his death won't be a waste.
Will you take that path with me?
I will give my life to go that path with you.
We will follow you.
I would like to become the crown prince.
It isn't because any minister requested it.
I want to be the crown prince of my own free will.
Are you prepared?
Yes, Your Majesty.
The path I have to take as the crown prince has been decided.
What is that path?
To create a powerful Goguryeo.
A Goguryeo that can stand up to any foreign power.
A Goguryeo with royal authority that nobody can threaten.
A Goguryeo that makes countries kneel when they see the flag.
I will achieve that Goguryeo.
Go and get a date from the chief priest.
I will designate Prince Damdeok as the crown prince on that day.
Yes, Your Majesty.
The crown prince installation is going to be soon.
Don't get excited.
I know.
The notice was just put up. How do you know already?
We received an order not to hammer steel until it's over.
It's bad luck before a sacred ceremony.
Since we can't work, let's just go eat.
We might have to starve for a while.
- Let's go. - Okay.
Okay, let's go.
Are you the blacksmith?
Yes.
Who are you?
Come and take a look. They're made very well.
Come and take a look.
Didn't you see the notice?
You are not to sell anything until the crown prince installation is over.
- Take care of this! - Yes, sir!
Pack it all up.
Hurry up!
How are we supposed to make a living?
Do you want to cause bad luck? It's national law.
How is selling some goods causing bad luck?
We have to sell this to eat.
We have children to feed.
You're going to double the taxes for the crown prince installation.
You really...
Get rid of it all!
No! No!
No, you can't do that.
Hurry up.
You mean wretches.
Stop it!
Let's go!
The crown prince installation is going to kill us all.
They say the country will fall if Prince Damdeok becomes the crown prince.
So what if they have an installation?
They have to let us make a living.
What happened to your arm?
I lost it in battle.
If someone like Prince Damdeok becomes the crown prince,
there will be more people like me.
Someone said Prince Damdeok causes battles all the time.
That's right.
Who are they?
How should I know? The country is a mess.
What are you talking about?
Ministers are dying and Prince Dammang died, too.
People are acting like that because there is trouble in the country.
I heard something, too.
If Prince Damdeok becomes the crown prince,
we will constantly be at war and the people will be in distress.
Do you think that's true?
What's wrong?
No. No human being should do that.
What's wrong with you? You seem to be out of it.
I can't do that as a Goguryeo man.
I can never do that.
Wait!
What's wrong with him?
He's not the only person who's mad.
I don't want to close the tavern either!
Would Prince Damdeok step down just because of such rumors?
It would be a different story if the rumors were real.
You want to start a war?
We'll take it one step at a time.
We'll start with the crown prince installation.
The crown prince installation?
The minute Prince Damdeok draws the Guksingeom,
the people will have great fear and disappointment.
Prince Damdeok won't be able to restore the dampened spirits.
What is father talking about?
Did I hear correctly?
- Did you check the public sentiment? - Yes, Prince.
The people who are presumed to have spread the rumors disappeared.
Nobody is talking.
They're afraid to talk to anyone who has authority.
The rumors are influencing the public sentiment.
Don't you think all this was planned?
What do you mean?
The rumors started after the installation date was set.
You mean someone spread the rumors on purpose?
Yes.
That means there's only one thing they're after.
Preventing me from becoming the crown prince.
Prince.
I need your help.
You wanted to protect Prince Damdeok.
Help me protect him and my father.
Help me so I'm not afraid in whatever situation I face.
I don't want you to be too close with Damdeok.
You already knew.
Now I know what you meant by that.
Doyeong.
Prince.
Is something wrong?
No.
I just came to say hello to Prince Dammang.
I should go.
Bye.
Prince.
About those rumors...
What will you do to whoever started those rumors?
They will be punished by law.
It's contempt for the royal family.
It's an act of treason.
I see.
Goodbye.
Zhongsan, capital of Houyan
Your Majesty, General Fengba has gone to Mohe territory.
That's too bad.
Damdeok is going to become the crown prince?
We can't let Damdeok become the next king of Goguryeo.
Our plan to shake up the Goguryeo court must continue.
A minister was executed and the oldest prince was assassinated.
Goguryeo will be on high alert.
There's no need to jump into our graves.
Are you going somewhere?
I'm glad I ran into you.
I was just on my way to see you.
What can I do for you?
Did you hear the rumors among the people?
Yes, Prince.
Why aren't you mentioning it to His Majesty?
Rumors are just rumors.
I didn't think you would care about such petty rumors.
It isn't like you.
You are very sensitive to public sentiments.
I can't believe you can be so calm when the rumors are causing anxiety
among the people regarding me and the future of Goguryeo.
Neither you nor Goguryeo would waver because of such rumors.
I didn't know you had so much faith in me.
You can't tell everything a person is thinking.
Of course, but people like to know what other people are thinking.
If you want to prove your loyalty to me, you'll have to set these rumors straight.
Hurry up if you don't want to die.
What is it?
Just be quiet and follow me.
My lady, what brings you here?
Are you going somewhere?
No, of course not.
You're in such a rush.
I thought you were running away.
Of course not.
What brings you here at this late hour?
My father sent me on an errand.
He said to see if everything he told you to do was going well.
What do you mean?
He didn't tell me to do anything.
Is that so?
He didn't send anyone?
There aren't that many skilled blacksmiths.
I thought it was you.
Fine.
I guess I was mistaken.
Goodbye.
By any chance...
Yes.
If my father tells you to do something don't do it no matter what it is.
Just tell him you did it.
Pretend you did.
What?
What he asks will be hard for you, too.
If it's an order from the prime minister...
We'll lose our lives.
Are you afraid of my father?
I don't think so.
There's something you should be more afraid of.
It's your conscience.
If my father tells you to do something don't do it no matter what it is.
There's something you should be more afraid of.
It's your conscience.
Goguryeo's son, Damdeok, is about to become the crown prince.
We ask King Chumo and the spirits to bless the future of Goguryeo
led by the crown prince.
Crown Prince Damdeok will hold up the Guksingeom and
announce that you are the crown prince.
Stop!
Doyeong.

Why are Silla people headed to Yeongung
When envoys come, it is custom to meet the prime minister first.
Baekje sent us 1,000 swords.
Baekje wants to form an alliance with Silla?
Don't worry about that.
The prime minister takes action quickly.
I am going to take the prime minister's power and
turn it into Goguryeo's power.
Why do you want to become enemies with the crown prince?
What do you know?
The crown prince declared war.
I'll show you the world can't be controlled with vigor and passion.
