You've been a loyal servant of Goguryeo.
You shouldn't have to die because of a little corruption.
You have to find a way to live.
What is that?
I know just the way...
I can help you.
What way is that?
Abandon Goguryeo.
Abandon Goguryeo?
What do you want from me?
Information on all the fortresses and
documents with military secrets and domestic affairs.
That is confidential matter that would decide the fate of Goguryeo!
I can't do that.
How can you ask me to do such a thing?
You know how strict His Majesty is about corruption among government officials.
He won't just kill you. He will kill your family, too.
Still, I could never do something like that.
You will have nothing left.
The only way for you to live is to do as I say.
Give me some time to think about it.
I can't stay in Goguryeo long.
You will have to decide soon.
Where did you go at this late hour without any escorts, prince?
I had some business to take care of.
I was assigned the duty of protecting you.
I will be in a difficult position if anything happened to you.
Is it something I can't know about?
Something you can't know about?
Of course not.
Don't worry.
Yes, prince.
He's up to something.
Ko Chang's house, Gungnaeseong
Have a drink.
How have you been?
Did you receive a high position in Houyan like Ko Un?
Fool.
The best times were when I was your officer.
What's the use of saying that now?
You chose this path.
I went to Ko Un in Houyan to deliver a message.
That's when the treason happened and I was stuck there.
Are you saying this isn't what you want?
Yes, sir.
Well, you are a Goguryeo person.
Houyan could abandon you at any time.
I wish Ko Un knew that, too.
It's too bad.
He is being treated like a prince now, but how long will that last?
When you're of no use, the both of you will be killed in some battle.
Please help me.
I want to return to Goguryeo.
You're asking for help on a difficult matter.
I can't be sure, but it's not impossible.
Tell me what I can do.
I will put my life on the line for it.
Zhongsan, capital of Houyan
Are you putting the blame of your defeat on us?
This is the second time Houyan didn't keep its promise.
Houyan fought fiercely against Goguryeo.
Don't you know the emperor was injured?
We didn't break any promises.
Baekje was in a hurry and went to battle first.
We should have gone to battle at the same time.
We had to move with two other countries.
That's why it took a little longer.
The result of that was betrayal by the Mohe?
Watch what you say.
Are you saying their betrayal is our fault, too?
Isn't it your responsibility to control your alliances?
How can we know what they are thinking?
We attacked because we believed there was an alliance with Biryeo and Mohe.
Are you saying it's not your fault that Mohe formed an alliance with Goguryeo?
The battle is over.
We are both enemies of Goguryeo.
Is there a need to fight over who is to blame?
Houyan and Baekje have an alliance. We are friendly nations.
Our king is doubtful of that alliance.
That is unnecessary concern.
We never broke the alliance and we don't intend to.
I don't see a need for us to fight when we have a common enemy.
You will see how sincere Houyan is.
If any trust was broken, Houyan will make an effort to restore it.
How will you do that?
We will dispatch an envoy to Baekje for constant communication.
We will also share any information we have on Goguryeo.
Is that not enough?
What will you do about Mohe?
They can't be forgiven for what they did.
I have plans for Mohe.
Batar's tent, Biryeo
You got nothing from Houyan?
Yes, chief.
Those rats!
Calm down, chief.
What?
- Chief! Chief! - Let go!
Chief!
Why are you taking it out on them?
Seol Doan, you must have a death wish.
Death wish?
You should be taking it out on Houyan.
You come to enemy territory and try to lecture me?
How many lives do you have?
I'm not lecturing you.
I'm mocking you.
What?
You must really have a death wish.
How long are you going to be foolish and stubborn?
Don't you know Biryeo could fall because of the wrong choice you made?
How dare you?
Who is going to attack us?
Do you think Goguryeo will let you get away with this?
If you listened to me before, Goguryeo would be offering a hand.
But you chose to turn your back on Goguryeo.
A general's wrong decision only results in the loss of soldiers,
but a ruler's wrong decision results in the loss of a country.
I had to shed a lot of blood to realize that.
Don't you understand what I'm saying?
Do you think I will lose to Goguryeo?
Say that after you defeat Goguryeo just once.
I came to mock you, but I'm giving you advice because I feel sorry for you.
Think about what Biryeo should choose even now.
Stop him!
Let him go.
Wiryeseong, capital of Baekje
That is why we lost every time.
We are advanced with maritime war, but we're always fighting on land.
Your Majesty, there isn't a general who never loses in battle.
Our military advisor has gone to Houyan to confirm our alliance.
Houyan will be a great support for Baekje.
That's not enough.
We might receive help from other nations,
but they must know that Baekje is leading the battle.
The ministers will make an effort to fill up the state coffers.
Yes, Your Majesty.
General Jin Mu will find measures to strengthen military power.
If necessary, ask for cooperation from nobility in regional areas.
The former king couldn't do that.
They won't have a life without a country!
What's the use of having private soldiers if the country falls?
This is a royal order.
Have them send a certain number of soldiers to each training.
We must strengthen our military power!
Yes, Your Majesty.
Boss!
Boss! Boss! Boss!
So, Murong Un came here to get national secrets.
You mean that's why he met with Gye Song?
Nothing could be more important in making Goguryeo fall.
Yes.
This is good.
What is?
What was our goal in coming here?
It was to kill Murong Un.
Well, yes.
If we steal those secrets and give them to the prince,
he'll make me a general, no, he'll even make me a commander.
That's a really good idea.
Murong Un, You're really something.
How should we do this?
Oh, right, there's that fool.
That fool?
Who?
We have to go somewhere.
I know the perfect fool for this.
Yeo Seokgae's house, Gungnaeseong He must not be here. Let's go.
We came this far. We should see him.
But he has a temper.
No wonder you can't do anything great.
You should have some guts like me.
I thought that shiny head looked familiar.
Mu Gap!
You'd better not lie about anything.
Tell me.
Or I'll kill you.
Okay, okay.
Where was I?
Hey!
I remember!
Ko Un, I mean, Murong Un...
Gye Song.
He met Gye Song in secret.
What? Gye Song?
Yes.
It turns out he stole all the land near the Baekje border.
This land was awarded by Ko Mu to families of dead soldiers.
But it shows that it's owned by Gye Song.
Then, they...
But what does Gye Song have to do with Ko Un?
If they're meeting in secret, it means there is a conspiracy.
Conspiracy?
What is it?
They're probably planning something to hurt the king of Goguryeo.
What? How dare they?
Ko Un and Gye Song. I ought to...
Calm down. Calm down.
Would you calm down?
Wait.
Why are you telling me this?
You're Houyan's dog.
I work like a slave for Houyan, but I get nothing in return.
I'm going to starve because all the battles are interfering with my business.
Look, if Houyan gets that information, there will be another battle.
How will we live?
Another battle?
Are you sure?
I wouldn't dare lie to the head officer of Cheongun.
You sly fool.
When will you grow up?
If you two are up to something, I'll kill you, got it?
Yes, of course.
Gye Song's house
You've been a loyal servant of Goguryeo.
You shouldn't have to die because of a little corruption.
You have to find a way to live.
I know a way.
I can help you.
- Is anyone outside? - Yes, sir.
Did you need something?
Go to the envoy's quarters and give this to prince Murong Un.
Yes, sir.
Yes, I am.
I am going to abandon Goguryeo completely.
Houyan accepted me.
I will raise power and become the center.
I will point my spear at Goguryeo since it killed my father and only sister.
Your Majesty.
Gye Song's servant met Murong Un.
Gye Song's servant?
It doesn't seem like he just came to pay condolence.
Do you think it has to do with Gye Song's corruption?
I was suspicious because the property ledger was too perfect.
We can't jump to any conclusions because we're still investigating.
Ari should continue to watch the envoy's quarters.
Watch every move they make.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Gye Song...
Is that true?
Yes.
Envoy's quarters, Gungnaeseong
Gye Song is going to get his hands on those documents in three days.
We must take him safely to Houyan.
Find a way for us to reach Houyan safely.
I am going to say farewell to the Goguryeo court tomorrow.
If the Goguryeo court is investigating, they're going to find out what he did.
We could all get caught before we cross the border.
How about moving separately?
That's a good idea.
You can take Gye Song to Houyan.
Prince.
I have to protect you.
I have Wonbong and Do Gwang. I'll be alright.
Then let's meet at the border.
Okay.
Your face...
What happened?
I was worried because you disappeared for two days.
Tell me what happened.
There is no place for us in Goguryeo anymore.
What are you talking about?
It was nice to be back in Goguryeo, so I went to the tavern.
I ran into Cheongun.
You're the only person I have to rely on now, prince.
Please strengthen your position in Houyan.
I will give everything I have to support you, prince.
I will do that. Don't worry.
- Let's go. - Yes, sir.
I will be returning to Houyan now.
Have a safe trip.
Thank you, Your Majesty.
Prince.
Tell this to the emperor.
Everyone in Goguryeo knows all the shameless acts committed by Houyan.
There will be no hesitation or mercy when that rage is directed to Houyan.
I will tell the emperor exactly what you said.
May I say something?
Go ahead.
Defend Goguryeo well.
Houyan isn't the only enemy of Goguryeo.
Confidential documents repository, Gungnaeseong
Was anyone watching or following?
Yes, but I lost them.
It's as prince Murong Un said.
We will have to leave right away.
Are we prepared?
Yes, sir.
- Let's go. - Yes, sir.
Ha Muji's office
Master.
Is this proof?
Yes, master.
What about the witnesses?
I brought them to the palace secretly.
Okay. Good job.
It was no big deal.
I feel like I'm doing something now.
There will be more to do.
I have to see His Majesty.
- Let's go. - Yes, sir.
Your Majesty.
Your Majesty
Gye Song committed a large act of corruption.
Gye Song?
How dare he?
It seemed like things were stabilizing after the treason.
But there was still corruption in unseen places.
How can this be?
How can we have enemies in Gungnaeseong?
Defend Goguryeo well.
Houyan isn't the only enemy of Goguryeo.
Gye Song and Murong Un met in secret.
They're up to something.
If Gye Song and Ko Un, I mean, Murong Un met...
Secrets.
National secrets.
Gye Song is stealing secrets to join Murong Un.
Gye Song, you...
Your Majesty!
Gye Song's house is empty.
What?
We stormed in, but he already fled.
He couldn't have left Goguryeo yet.
I had Cheongun follow the Houyan envoys to the border.
We should hear from them soon.
Seal off all the fortresses now!
Yes, Your Majesty!
Ko Un, I mean, Murong Un probably has the documents already.
We must capture Ko Un not matter what!
Can you really keep your promise?
I'll bet my name on it.
Here it is.
These are half the documents I could take with my authority.
Half? Not all?
I will give you the rest when we arrive in Houyan.
Fine.
Head for Houyan with general Fengba right now.
You're not coming with us?
We're going to split up for safety reasons.
Just do as I say.
Fine.
I will protect you. Don't worry.
We must hurry.
- Let's go. - Yes, sir.
Those little...
We have to capture Ko Un.
Oh, boy.
We can get them all.
He's as good as caught if we catch Ko Un.
Yeah?
Right.
This is the shortcut to Ogolseong.
Let's send a group to ambush them.
We can catch them all near Ogolseong.
- Ogolseong is this way? - Yes.
Un Seong, take soldiers and wait for them in ambush.
- Yes, boss. - Let's go!
- Let's go. - Okay.
- Let's take the horses. - Let's go.
Your Majesty!
Which way did they head?
They split up here.
What about Murong Un?
He headed toward Ogolseong.
Ogolseong?
We should split up, too.
General Yeon, go to the border.
I'll go to Ogolseong.
Yes, Your Majesty
- Let's go. - Yes, Your Majesty.
Let's go.
Near Goguryeo border
General, they changed the gatekeeper.
What are you talking about?
He had a large build.
Do you know how foolish you sound?
What's going on?
We have to pass the gate, but they changed the gatekeeper.
Wait here.
Come with me.
Yes, sir.
Follow me!
Let's go.
Capture him!
Gye Song!
There's no place for you to hide.
Take him away!
Yes, sir!
Prince!
Yeo Seokgae!
That fool.
Prince.
Good job.
Leave when you can.
Be sure to kill Ko Un and Yeo Seokgae.
Yes, boss.
You fool.
That's why you're always tricked by me.
Ko Un!
It's all over.
I'm going to kill you and take revenge for Commander Ko Mu.
I'm going to lessen the burden for His Majesty.
You traitor.
Yeo Seokgae!
Your Majesty!
