Last night in Gungnaeseong, there was a conspiracy to plot treason.
The main culprit is crown prince Damdeok.
He tried to murder Murong Chui, but failed and fled.
He put Goguryeo in a great crisis.
The court ministers questioned his qualifications.
Some people weren't happy about that.
Gye Pil.
Iyeong.
Ko Chang.
And Cheongun leader, Hwang Hoe.
People supporting the crown prince plotted a conspiracy for treason.
Hwang Hoe took His Majesty hostage and disappeared.
His Majesty?
I had Gyerubu people including Gye Pil, Iyeong and Ko Chang arrested.
I am declaring crown prince Damdeok as the leader of the conspiracy.
In the meantime, I will be in charge of national affairs.
Is His Majesty alright?
Probably.
The Central Army is looking for him.
Who will take the place of the crown prince?
That will be decided when His Majesty returns.
Put up notices about this in Gungnaeseong and all of Goguryeo.
Yes, prime minister.
How can this be...
Why is the place so empty?
Two bowls of rice and soup.
How can you eat?
Did you hear the news?
What news?
The world changed last night.
Everything seems fine to me.
There was a conspiracy.
His Majesty is missing.
Everyone with a high position was captured.
Conspiracy?
What conspiracy?
Well, the prime minister...
You're such a good fellow.
Watch what you say from now on.
They'll arrest you if you're not careful.
Just worry with your heart.
Be careful what you say.
Secret quarters of the palace shrine
Your Majesty.
How are things outside?
They seem to think you left the palace.
They're searching the capital.
That's good, but many Cheongun sacrificed their lives.
Any member of Cheongun would give his life for you.
Don't worry.
I see why Damdeok left you here.
I'm sorry I can't do more.
No, no.
What happened to Gye Pil, Ko Chang and Iyeong?
The prime minister arrested them.
He probably accused them of treason.
How can this be?
Twist harder!
Stop!
Did they confess?
They aren't confessing to anything.
Prime minister.
It's all over.
If you want to lessen the pain, confess your crimes.
This is all your doing.
You plotted treason.
What are we supposed to confess?
Gae Yeonsu!
You've become a traitor.
Why do they still have so much energy left?
They have strong wills.
Stop this show now.
Just kill me!
You!
Iyeong, how did you get involved in all this?
Why are you humiliating us like this?
Us?
You shouldn't associate yourself with them.
You should clear your name.
You need to reach the position you deserve.
You are the second son of the former king and the oldest son of the king before him.
No.
I'd rather die.
Gae Yeonsu, quiet!
Don't try to fast talk him.
He wouldn't fall for your low tricks.
Don't kill them until His Majesty is found, but give them pain worse than death.
The crown prince will punish you.
Do you think he'll show up here alive?
He'll come.
That's why you're afraid.
Look at what you're doing.
Zhongsan, capital of Houyan
General Fengba, I'm going to ask one more time.
Tell the truth.
About what?
I told you everything.
I planned it all myself.
Why are you suffering such torture?
Who are you giving up your life for?
Who gave you the order?
Was it my brother, the crown prince?
No.
He has nothing to do with this.
I did it all on my own.
You!
Tell the truth! Tell the truth!
Tell me now! Tell me!
Gungnaeseong palace
Prime minister.
There is word from Bibal.
Crown prince Damdeok took the fastest route and headed for Gungnaeseong.
Houyan couldn't stop him.
Ansiseong is on the way.
Tell Bibal to go there and meet the lord, Hae Mowol.
He should be able to stop Damdeok.
Yes, prime minister.
Mo Su.
Yes, prime minister.
Damdeok will ask Ko Mu for help when he enters Goguryeo.
That must be prevented.
His Majesty is the only person who can give commander Ko Mu an order.
Make him listen.
Royal academy Dr. Ko! Dr. Ko!
Dr. Ko!
That's Dr. Ko.
We're too late.
He didn't do anything wrong.
They arrested Chang.
It's to pressure father.
What should we do?
We have to get out of Gungnaeseong.
We have to let father know.
Okay.
Road to Ansiseong
Where are we?
We're near Ansiseong.
Let's go there and find out what's going on in Gungnaeseong.
Won't that be dangerous?
If the prime minister took control, he could already have power over Ansiseong.
That's right.
The Hae clan has been in charge of Ansiseong for generations.
They are Sonobu and could be siding with the prime minister.
So what?
Are we supposed to run away?
Well, no, but...
They could delay our arrival in Gungnaeseong.
My goal isn't Gungnaeseong.
It is Goguryeo.
No ruler avoids a group of traitors.
We're sorry.
My heart has already been to Gungnaeseong a hundred times.
But nothing will be solved by being hasty.
How about sending commander Ko Mu a message?
He will be a great support.
That's right.
I'm sure he's worried after sending me to you.
We should contact him.
Let's go!
Yes, crown prince.
Buyeoseong (northern Goguryeo)
Commander! Commander!
Commander!
There's no news from general Mo Duru yet?
No.
The last message said he saw the crown prince and was going to return.
What about from Gungnaeseong?
For some reason, we're not receiving any communication.
How frustrating.
Something is happening, but I have no way of knowing.
Commander!
General Mo Duru sent a carrier pigeon.
Let me see.
Ansiseong, Goguryeo
My lord.
Eliminate the crown prince?
Yes.
The prime minister plans to eliminate all the traitors and appoint a new king.
In return for eliminating the crown prince,
he will give you a position of your choice along with land you want.
A position and land of my choice?
That's right.
You will receive the highest merit.
Baegamseong, Sinseong, Heukkusanseong, Geonanseong
and most other fortresses have sworn loyalty to the prime minister.
All the lords of those fortresses?
Yes.
Anyone who captures the crown prince who is a traitor will be rewarded highly.
My lord, the crown prince is a traitor?
What is going on?
It's an order from the court.
Are you sure he is a traitor?
That doesn't matter.
The country is about to fall into chaos.
If people were going to judge everything, what do we need a court for?
People don't care about the truth.
The one who survives in the end is the powerful one and power is the truth.
Find out where the crown prince is and wait in ambush.
We will obey your command.
Crown prince!
Don't kill him.
Let go!
What fortress are you from?
We're from Ansiseong.
Ansiseong?
We're on the same side.
Why are you trying to kill us?
What is the reason?
We were just following orders to arrest the crown prince who is a traitor.
What?
The crown prince is a traitor?
How dare you?
Seokgae.
- You deserve to die! - Seokgae!
Crown prince! Crown prince!
How can they call you a traitor? You're not a traitor!
It seems that Gae Yeonsu has full control of the court.
Ko Chang and Hwang Hoe are there.
They wouldn't have just let the prime minister take control.
They had less than a thousand soldiers.
The prime minister has control of the Central Army.
If there isn't a way, we'll have to make one.
What?
How?
We'll take over Ansiseong.
But, crown prince.
How can we fight the prime minister if we can't even take one fortress?
Why did you help me?
You saved my life before.
I just wanted to repay you.
Repay me?
You chose a difficult way to repay me.
You're done enough. Go your way.
Do you have nowhere to go?
I would like to go with you.
What is the reason?
I don't know.
I'd like to find out.
Come.
Prime minister. Prime minister.
How did it go?
Hae Mowol is pursuing the crown prince.
It's the news we've been waiting for.
He hasn't captured Damdeok yet.
Give an order to the lords of the fortresses near Ansiseong.
Tell them to go to Ansiseong and help Hae Mowol capture Damdeok.
Right now!
Yes, prime minister.
Gwanmiseong (Strategic fortress of Baekje, presumed to be today's Gyodonggo)
I will not forget everything you did for me.
I hope you arrive at your destination safely.
I will take her to the border.
Let's go.
You're extremely generous. It's not like you.
She wanted to live even if it meant receiving help from an enemy nation.
My baby.
We're finally going to Goguryeo.
Your father, grandparents and even the people will all be waiting for us.
Crown prince...
- Let's go! - Yes, sir!
Hurry!
What should we do about them?
Just leave them here.
They'll cause trouble if we let them live.
Seokgae, make sure they're tied up well.
The wild animals will feast on them.
They are Goguryeo people.
We should spare their lives.
Didn't you hear me give an order?
Yes, crown prince.
What are you doing? Hurry up.
Yes, crown prince.
Where are you going to go?
To Houyan.
The royal family is my in-law.
They will help me.
You can't do that.
Houyan is an enemy nation.
After all you suffered there...
Do you want to disobey me?
No...
I'm accused of being a traitor and the Goguryeo court is in danger.
Do you think there is anything I couldn't do?
Crown prince...
- Everyone, follow me! - Yes, crown prince!
Crown prince. Crown prince.
My lord! My lord!
Did you capture the crown prince?
I'm sorry, but we lost him.
You lost him?
There was a surprise attack.
What about the other soldiers?
There is a problem.
A problem?
The crown prince is headed back to Houyan.
He knows that the area is surrounded by our soldiers.
What?
Houyan?
Yes.
Are you sure he fled to Houyan, an enemy nation?
That's what he said.
My lord! My lord!
The crown prince's men are outside. They want to surrender.
What?
- Let's go. - Yes, my lord.
Who are you?
I'm an officer of Cheongun, Yeo Seokgae.
These are my men.
So?
We tried to stop the crown prince from fleeing to Houyan and...
Damdeok betrayed Goguryeo and went to Houyan?
It's not a betrayal.
He just lost control because of the difficult situation he's in.
He would never betray Goguryeo.
How am I supposed to believe you?
My lord, he helped me escape.
I'm not forcing you to believe me, but you have to hurry.
If he returns to Goguryeo with the help of Houyan,
Goguryeo will be in great danger.
My lord!
- My lord! - My lord!
Please stop the crown prince from becoming a traitor.
Please, my lord.
Do you know which way he went?
Yes, I do.
Who are you?
Answer right now!
Crown prince!
Take over Ansiseong as quickly as possible.
Yes, crown prince!
Attack!
Yes, sir!
Show proper respect. He is the crown prince of Goguryeo.
Is this Hae Mowol's office?
Yes, crown prince.
King Chiu...
- Let me ask you a question. - Of course.
What kind of a person is Hae Mowol?
My lord! My lord! Near Ansiseong
My lord, we're in trouble.
What's all the commotion?
Crown prince Damdeok took over Ansiseong.
Are you sure?
Yes, it's a report from soldiers who got out of the fortress.
What should we do?
They say he's the ghost of the north. I guess it's true.
He's worthy of a fight.
We should ask the nearby fortresses for reinforcements.
Reinforcements?
It's an order from the prime minister.
The lords of the nearby fortresses are on standby.
No way.
Merits aren't for sharing.
I'm going to give the prime minister Damdeok's head.
Stay out of this.
Are you going to disobey the prime minister's order?
He isn't here.
The person in charge of strategy at a battleground is the general.
Even if the king comes, my order comes first at a battleground.
Do you have a good strategy?
A clever scheme should be repaid with another scheme.
I'll show him that using a strategy that isn't thorough means death.
I'll show him myself.
There's still no news from Gungnaeseong?
I asked the soldiers, but none of them know anything.
How frustrating.
We should get to Gungnaeseong as soon as we can.
I'm worried about my father and mother.
I'm sorry, crown prince.
We sent word to commander Ko Mu.
With his help, we should be able to advance to Gungnaeseong soon.
Crown prince! Crown prince!
What is it?
There is a battle north of Ansiseong.
Battle?
According to the injured soldiers,
soldiers from Buyeoseong are fighting Hae Mowol's elite soldiers.
What?
We must get out there.
Commander Ko Mu must have sent soldiers.
Commander Ko Mu?
Yes, crown prince.
- Hurry! - Yes, sir.
How did you think of commander Ko Mu?
It just takes a little thought.
Who else would come to help the crown prince?
It's not hard to trick scouts.
How many soldiers left?
About 1,500.
So, there are only 300-400 left.
Yes, sir.
Send the soldiers in through the secret entrance and open the gate.
I'll enter my fortress boldly.
Yes, my lord.
There can't be any casualties.
Yes, sir.
We're in trouble.
Enemy soldiers are attacking the fortress.
Let's go.
If you have no intention of fighting, stand down.
Lord Hae Mowol!
- Lord Hae Mowol! - Lord Hae Mowol!
You didn't have to come.
You just have to fulfill your duty.
You take military orders lightly because you serve the prime minister.
Are you Hae Mowol, lord of Ansiseong?
That's right.
I'm Hae Mowol.

Damdeok has been captured?
Hae Mowol is transporting him to Gungnaeseong.
Goguryeo will be your world now.
We don't know where His Majesty is.
We'll have to make him come on his own.
They're going to cut off the crown prince's head here?
It is our duty as parents to save our son's life.
Do you think Hae Mowol has other intentions?
It doesn't matter.
