Let go of me!
Prime minister! Prime minister!
Why are these Houyan spies coming to Yeongung?
Arrest them all!
Yes, sir!
Stop!
Who told you to bring soldiers?
Withdraw them.
- Let's go. - Yes, sir!
Why did you come barging in with soldiers?
What did I do?
You are talking with Houyan spies.
Spies?
Who is a spy?
They are Houyan merchants who trade with our trade guild.
That's right.
This man is backed by prince Murong Xi of Houyan.
He put crown prince Damdeok in danger at the slave market.
He is also the suspect for murdering Prince Dammang.
No, it's not me.
You're accusing us without any hard evidence.
There are terrible rumors about crown prince Damdeok.
A slave merchant coming here is bound to arouse suspicion.
It seems like you've been watching me even before anything was suspicious.
Have you been looking for a chance to tie me down?
Look here!
Since when does the prime minister have to be watched?
You can't threaten me like this!
Prime minister! Prime minister!
There is a royal order for you to come to the palace right now.
A royal order?
Yes, sir.
What news do you have?
Crown prince Damdeok attempted to murder the Houyan emperor.
He failed and is on the run.
Houyan soldiers are looking for him for committing high treason.
What?
The crown prince's wife went missing while fleeing.
She is presumed dead.
Dead?
Take the queen to her quarters!
Did you say the crown prince committed high treason?
That is what we think.
There is a search to find him.
If caught, he will be executed by having his limbs torn apart.
How dare you come here and lie like this?
It's true.
Leave.
I said leave right now before I get soldiers to drag you out!
Your Majesty!
I'm alright.
Gather the council right now!
Yes, Your Majesty.
Your Majesty, this has to be a conspiracy.
No!
We have an alliance.
Why would Houyan plot something like this?
Are you saying the crown prince would really do something like that?
It's not impossible from everything we've seen.
He has been rash before.
It resulted in problems.
That was in the past.
He has been prudent about everything since he became the crown prince.
Are you saying the Houyan envoy made everything up?
It's possible if they wanted to put the crown prince in a bind.
I believe the prime minister is involved in all this.
Are you saying I plotted an attempt to kill the crown prince?
You have many means.
You could have leaked information to the merchants backed by Houyan.
Or you could have overlooked what Houyan was doing.
Look here!
You are insulting the prime minister.
What?
That's right.
You're reaching.
This is a sensitive situation.
It's a justifiable suspicion.
What did you say?
Do you see me as such a shameless and heinous person?
What happened to this court?
I'd rather give my life than be treated like this.
Your Majesty, I served three kings.
Why am I being insulted like this?
Prime minister.
That's not all.
I've become a heartless person.
Even if I could have everything,
what kind of father would let his daughter die for his own power?
Are you saying you didn't know anything about this situation?
No!
Even if I did, do you think there was anything I could do?
I wish I could rip out my heart and show it to you right now.
I'd like to go to Houyan to look for my daughter.
Do you know how I feel right now sitting here?
The people in the most pain right now are His Majesty and me.
If you can't comfort me, don't say anything!
How dare they treat me like a criminal?
I was foolish.
I was mistaken.
You will never change.
But I am your daughter.
I am going to pay for your sins.
I will live as a sinner instead of you.
There's only one person who could accuse me of a sin.
Doyeong.
The queen's illness worsened a long time ago.
Why didn't you tell me?
She said not to tell you since you were ill yourself.
I'm sorry, Your Majesty.
How frustrating!
Honey.
I'm not asking as a queen, but as a mother.
Please protect Damdeok and our daughter-in-law.
Don't lose them like Dammang and Damju.
Honey.
There is no way Damdeok would do such a rash thing.
It pained him to send his only sister to an enemy nation.
After making such a difficult decision, he wouldn't do such a thing.
I know.
Believe that and save him.
Give him the strength to take the throne after you and make Goguryeo a greater country.
Damdeok and Doyeong can't be sacrificed like this.
Okay.
Don't worry.
I will make sure that happens.
Get Hwang Hoe right now.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Houyan envoys' quarters, Gungnaeseong
- Arrest everyone! - Yes, sir!
You are under arrest by order of His Majesty.
What are you doing?
His Majesty decided you are framing crown prince Damdeok and
aggravating relations by detaining the Goguryeo envoys.
You will be dealt with by our laws
until the truth is revealed and an explanation is provided.
You want to interrogate me like a criminal?
That's right.
If Houyan treats someone like a criminal before investigating the facts,
Goguryeo will have to do the same.
Arrest him!
Yes, sir!
Yeongung (Gae Yeonsu's quarters), Gungnaeseong
Prime minister.
What is it?
His Majesty has lost control.
He had the Houyan envoys locked up for interrogation.
It looks like he'll go to war if necessary.
What?
War?
What will we do?
They're going to investigate your relationship with Houyan, too.
You could be accused to colluding with Houyan and causing this whole situation.
Do Gwang.
Yes, sir.
Prepare to go to Houyan right away.
Find Ko Un and tell him I've been framed.
Tell him not to return to Goguryeo until he hears from me.
Yes, sir.
What are you going to do?
This country is trying to turn me into a criminal.
I have to find a way out of this.
Hi.
Is this a secret letter handing over Damdeok's life to Houyan?
That's right.
It is.
It has the prime minister's seal.
Good. Let's go.
Jin.
Dr. Ko.
What brings you here?
The commander sent us.
Why?
Houyan's movements are suspicious.
We haven't been receiving regular messages from Gungnaeseong.
Is something wrong?
A Houyan envoy came and said the crown prince fled after trying to kill the emperor.
Is that true?
There is no way to know for sure.
What's for sure is the crown prince is in a bind.
I have to rush back to Buyeoseong.
Wait.
This is a sensitive diplomatic matter.
I'll let you know after I find out more.
Please hurry.
If anything happened to the crown prince, I have to tell father.
Okay.
Buyeoseong, northern Goguryeo Yes, commander.
Commander! Commander!
Commander!
I told you to go to Houyan.
Why are you back so soon?
As I reported before, all paths to Houyan are sealed off.
What?
All paths?
Yes.
All paths are sealed off.
Something has happened.
Commander! Commander!
Commander!
Yakyeon sent a message.
What does it say?
The crown prince is on the run after trying to kill Murong Chui.
He wouldn't have done that.
All we can do for now is wait and see.
Have soldiers near the border closest to Houyan.
Be prepared to help when we hear from the crown prince.
Yes, commander!
Zhongsan, capital of Houyan
Look who's here.
General Fengba, it's been a while.
He's...
He's the one who put the crown prince and you in a bind.
We should kill him right now!
I've been meaning to come and see you.
You were?
Yes.
I caused you trouble before.
I did owe you.
I'm sorry about that.
It's alright.
You only did what you had to for Goguryeo.
Any fault is with me for trusting you too much.
I learned a lesson not to trust people too easily.
I'm glad I could be of help.
I was surprised myself.
Why?
If you had a grudge, you would have crushed our trade guild, but you didn't.
I realized once again you are a great general.
Did you think I would get mad over something like that?
If you did, you misjudged me.
A great general like you wouldn't sweat over little things like that.
Is that so?
I feel sorry for you.
Your crown prince and his wife, your sister.
She was left alone since she came here and this is what happened.
Did you hear about what happened in Goguryeo?
Your father, the prime minister, has been accused of a crime.
My father, the prime minister, was accused of a crime?
Yes, something about high treason.
I thought you were paid by the government. I guess not.
You would have heard such important news by now.
I'm sure you know, but Goguryeo isn't a country to be taken lightly.
You must have heard a false rumor.
A false rumor...
Maybe you're right.
If something happens to Goguryeo and you have nowhere to go, come to me.
I like talented people like you.
- Let's go. - Yes, sir.
Crown prince. Crown prince.
Crown prince.
What's going on?
The Baekje envoys who were accused were all released.
Some of the Houyan ministers are back to suspecting you.
The emperor doesn't seem to be that suspicious of you.
That's good enough.
You just have to go the palace and prove your innocence.
That's good news.
If the emperor believes you, this could be settled easily.
What's most important right now is proving my innocence.
I'm sure you could do that if you talked to the Goguryeo migrants.
But it won't be easy to get into the palace and do that.
He's right.
They might just arrest you on the spot.
We could lure the people who trapped me to show up.
How?
Crown prince, why aren't you saying a word about Doyeong?
Why are you only focusing on proving your innocence?
I'm going to prove my innocence and make Houyan pay.
- Is that understood? - Yes, crown prince.
Did you hear about what happened in Goguryeo?
Your father, the prime minister, has been accused of a crime.
Are you worried about what Fengba said?
You can't believe anything he says.
There is no way the prime minister would be accused of a crime.
Even if he was, he wouldn't just sit and take it.
My innocence has to be proven for my wife to be free of danger.
I'm going to prove my innocence and ask for Houyan soldiers to find Doyeong.
I'm going to find her if I have to search every inch of Houyan.
It's uncertain whether she's alive or not.
Don't say that!
She's going to be alright.
She will be hiding somewhere.
I shouldn't have said that.
I'm sorry.
Get going.
Yes, crown prince.
No matter where I am, as long as you're by my side,
that place is my country, Goguryeo.
Doyeong, where are you?
Doyeong.
There is a commotion to search for crown prince Damdeok.
Boat headed to Baekje
All paths between Houyan and Goguryeo have been sealed off.
Their alliance will be destroyed soon.
There's a high possibility of that.
The crown prince isn't appearing.
The relationship between the two countries is going to be ruined.
That's good news.
If you're here again, does it mean you found a way?
Outside the emperor's quarters, Houyan royal palace
The emperor's office is here.
Nobody can enter without approval.
Don't you know who I am?
Of course I do.
Do you want me to report you to the crown prince?
You should wait until I get approval.
I said I have to see His Majesty right now!
You have to wait.
Sir!
Princess, please enter.
Go and tell the crown prince about this.
Yes, sir.
Your Majesty.
What is the reason you wanted to see His Majesty as this late hour?
I asked you a question!
I didn't know I had to tell you everything.
Of course you do!
I'm your husband.
I should know everything you do.
Tell me right now!
What did you tell His Majesty without telling me?
Damdeok is going to return soon.
He is going to face His Majesty and prove his innocence.
Prove his innocence?
Damdeok really said that?
Are you doubting me?
Did you want to see me?
The princess told His Majesty what Damdeok was going to do.
That was expected.
If it was expected, you should have a plan.
We just have to bury the truth.
Bury the truth?
The Goguryeo migrants.
They've been kept alive too long after committing high treason.
They should be executed.
That would be too obvious.
There shouldn't be any traces left.
If we try to kill them, we could end up in a bind.
Then?
They are thinking they were betrayed by Goguryeo people.
I understand.
I came to give you a way to live.
When crown prince Damdeok brings the real Sagal Hyeon,
you just have to say he was the person you saw.
Do you understand?
Why should we do that?
Look.
This is a letter written by the crown prince.
He will acquit your crimes and withdraw the deportation order.
He will also give you land to farm.
If you do as you're told, you will have a smooth future.
Let me know when you decide.
I will give you this letter then.
It's the only way for us to live.
We won't get a chance like this again.
Let's live.
What did Goguryeo do for us?
We can't die like this.
We don't have a way to make a living even if we return to Goguryeo.
Princess.
What happened? Where did he go?
He met general Fengba and then the general went to the prison.
He went to the prison?
Yes.
I have to go out.
What? Where to?
Outside the prison
Why won't you let me in?
It's the crown prince's order.
Nobody is allowed inside.
I'm not just anybody.
No, but you have no reason to see the criminals.
They made my brother a criminal.
I'd like to see their faces.
If anything goes wrong, we'll be held responsible.
Just leave.
If the crown prince finds out, he'll be really mad.
Get out of my way!
Do you want to die?
I let you off when you insulted me in Goguryeo.
Do you want me to tell the crown prince everything?
I have a different position from yours.
I am the wife of your master.
My order is the same as his order.
I am the princess of Goguryeo.
Princess, what brings you here?
I have a favor to ask you.
I don't know how general Fengba tried to convince you or if he threatened you,
but you must not trust him.
I only ask that you tell the truth.
Be an honorable Goguryeo person no matter where you live.
We can only be honorable if we're alive.
That's why I came.
To save your lives.
Crown prince! Crown prince!
The princess met the Goguryeo migrants.
What?
It's probably to win them over.
Goguryeo people have a lot of pride.
If the princess talked to them, they might change their minds.
How about eliminating them as originally planned?
No, that could cause a greater problem.
I will make sure there isn't any proof left.
Are you confident?
Leave it to me.
- Open the cell. - Yes, sir.
It's special food for you.
Enjoy it.
- Let's go. - Yes, sir.
If you're not going to eat it, can we eat it all?
Too bad you're sick when we have food like this.
Let's eat.
This is good.
It's good.
- Open the cell. - Yes, sir.
Open the cell!
Check them.
- Check them all! - Yes, sir!
What are all these spots?
Oh...
Get them out of here.
What's the problem?
Are they still alive?
Oh, that's...
It's a contagious disease.
It's contagious.
What should we do?
Throw him out with the other corpses.
He's still alive.
He might spread the disease. Burn him.
Yes, sir.
Damdeok's head is mine.
So it is.
Good job.
We only did our job.
Crown prince, what about our pay?
Here.
As promised.
Thank you. Thank you.
Thank you.
You look tired.
You should have a drink and relax.
- Yes, crown prince. - Yes, crown prince.
The Goguryeo migrants died of a contagious disease.
And I received good news from Goguryeo.
The heavens are on my side now.
Yes, crown prince.
There is no way for Damdeok to prove his innocence now.
We have a cause to arrest him.
We have an ally to help deal with him legally.
It's over for Damdeok.
You are right.
Damdeok.
Out of the way!
This is the crown prince of Goguryeo!
Crown prince Damdeok, it's been a while.
Why are you standing in my way?
A criminal walked here on his own.
We have to arrest you.
Why are you calling him a criminal?
He fled after attempting to murder our emperor.
We came to prove his innocence.
How will you do that?
You have Goguryeo migrants here.
They will prove his innocence.
They all died of a contagious disease.
What?
The witnesses are all dead. What will you do now?
Arrest the crown prince and Cheongun.
Yes, sir!

Take His Majesty and get out of the palace.
- How dare you? - His Majesty's life is on the line.
We have to hurry back to Goguryeo.
