Why are you sparing my life?
I'm not sparing your life.
I came to capture a traitor.
You can't treat an envoy as a traitor.
An envoy?
An envoy...
Did you expect to be treated as an envoy when
you came to pay condolence and tried to steal national secrets?
National secrets?
What national secrets do we have?
You still!
Your crimes will be revealed soon.
You had better prove any crimes I committed.
Master!
Prince!
Master!
He still has a pulse.
I think he fainted because of his injury.
He must live.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Prepare to return to Gungnaeseong.
Yes, Your Majesty.
- Let's go! - Yes, sir.
Yeo Seokgae.
Yes, Your Majesty.
How did you know to come here?
What?
Well...
Yeo Seokgae!
Your Majesty!
General Yeon Salta captured Gye Song. He is transporting him to Gungnaeseong.
I will interrogate him myself.
Yeo Seokgae.
Yes, Your Majesty.
I will hear your explanation in Gungnaeseong.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Let's go!
Interrogation room, Gungnaeseong palace
These are the documents Gye Song had.
When I arrived, the Houyan envoys had already crossed the border.
What's strange is that they left Gye Song behind.
Gye Song, you!
Wasn't it enough to be corrupt?
You were going to sell national secrets?
Your Majesty, I just...
The proof is right here.
Do you still expect to live?
Please spare my life.
What secrets are they?
Tell me right now!
Military secrets, Your Majesty.
What?
Please kill me!
Everyone, sit down.
This is a crisis.
The fate of our country depends on it.
This is a serious problem is Houyan has our military secrets.
The documents state fortress locations and main advance bases.
They also show our main forces and reserve forces in detail.
What's important is that Biryeo and Baekje could get this information, too.
Yes.
If enemy nations move with knowledge of this information, we will be helpless.
We have to do something.
You should order all the fortresses to maintain maximum defense.
General Mo Duyeong, send messengers to all the fortresses.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Iyeong, leave for Houyan now.
Make it clear that we will not let this matter go.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Receive an answer regarding Ko Un, no, Murong Un.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Seol Ji, go to Mohe and tell them the details of this incident.
Tell them to watch Houyan and Biryeo.
Yes, Your Majesty.
I will deal with everything else after interrogating Gye Song and Ko Un.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Envoy's quarters, Gungnaeseong
Who attacked me?
If they took the documents, it means they were watching me.
They weren't Goguryeo men.
Who were they?
Where are the documents you received from Gye Song?
If you want to accuse me of something, you should present proof.
Of course there isn't any proof.
Mu Gap took everything.
You were played by Houyan.
Ko Un, no, Murong Un, even if it means another battle,
I will not forgive you for your act of contempt against Goguryeo.
You will see the result of betraying Goguryeo and being loyal to Houyan.
If Mu Gap took it, Murong Xi will probably have the documents.
Zhongsan, capital of Houyan
Are these really national secrets of Goguryeo?
Yes, Your Majesty.
With that information, we could attack Gungnaeseong right away.
Where did you get this?
A servant of mine named Mu Gap got it with difficulty in Goguryeo.
Mu Gap, good job.
I am honored.
I was just being loyal to Houyan.
You should give him a military position.
Of course.
Father, I will prepare for battle right away.
I will lead the army and make your wish come true.
Good.
Weiyuan will study weaknesses and plan a strategy to attack.
Yes, Your Majesty
Your Majesty, Ko Un, I mean, Murong Un is the one who got the documents.
Yes, Your Majesty.
I was there when he received the documents.
Where is Murong Un?
Well...
We split up to avoid getting captured together.
The Goguryeo minister who was fleeing with us was captured.
Prince Murong Un has been detained in Goguryeo.
There is no proof that Houyan was involved with these documents.
We must send an envoy and object to detaining our envoy.
We must bring Murong Un back.
If the minister who stole these secrets confesses to everything,
these secrets will become useless.
Murong Un isn't a spy. He is a prince of Houyan.
He was captured trying to steal national secrets.
This is humiliating.
But Murong Un put his life on the line to steal these secrets for Houyan.
You cannot doubt his loyalty.
But Bao!
That's enough!
A prince who insults his country is not a loyal servant.
I will decide what's to be done about Murong Un.
Interrogation room, Gungnaeseong palace
Stop.
Yes, sir.
Are you sure this is the person you gave the national secrets to?
Yes, Your Majesty.
I am sure.
What documents did you give him?
They were documents with military secrets.
Do you still deny it?
I never received such documents from that man.
Don't lie.
You said you could find a way to live because you're a prince of Houyan.
You wanted to split up to avoid danger, but your men left me and fled.
Do you think I didn't know that you were going to betray me?
That's why I only gave you half the documents.
You are accusing me based on his word alone.
Present clear proof.
I won't allow these kinds of accusations.
What could you possibly do? How can you be so brazen?
I didn't do anything wrong, but Yeo Seokgae attacked me first.
He should be punished.
He tried to kill a Houyan prince.
He should pay for his crime first. Right now!
Houyan will not look idly upon this matter.
I will be sure to tell them that I was accused of high treason and
a Goguryeo general tried to kill me.
You are so foolish.
Do you truly believe that they consider you as a prince of Houyan?
Do you think they will protect you when you tried to steal national secrets from Goguryeo?
I do.
I trust Houyan more than I trust Goguryeo.
Did you send messengers to all the fortresses?
Yes, Your Majesty.
I also sent messengers to all the fortresses in the south.
We have to change our military organization and be prepared.
Yes, Your Majesty
Your Majesty, you should decide on how to punish the criminals first.
They were corrupt and tried to sell national secrets.
What are you suggesting?
Anyone who was involved must be executed regardless of their positions.
There will be much opposition if everyone who is implicated is executed.
Yes, Your Majesty
Some people had no choice because of Gye Song's power.
We must look at the weight of their crimes.
Some of the ministers had important responsibilities in court.
Punishing someone as an example only works if there is no hesitation.
If you take too much into consideration, the corruption will repeat.
Execution ground, Gungnaeseong
The criminals here abused their authority and power.
They deprived the people of their land.
They falsified documents to cover up their crimes.
They sold national secrets to an enemy nation and caused confusion.
They are traitors who committed high treason.
I have been given the authority to execute these criminals.
Any government official who commits acts against Goguryeo court or
abuses authority and power to exploit the people
will be executed in this manner.
I order the beheading of Gye Song, Gye Yun, Gye Won, Gye Sin and Gye Hui.
I also order the beheading of Sa Mun, Yeon Nok, An Jubun and So Wolsa.
Carry out the execution.
Yes, sir!
Carry out the execution!
Yes, sir.
Zhongsan, capital of Houyan Your Majesty, you can't do that.
I will disown him as family and deprive him of all military positions.
He is no longer a prince or official of Houyan.
Father!
We must pull out all the roots that can cause problems.
Murong Un did everything he could to be loyal to Houyan.
But in the end, he put Houyan in a difficult position.
Your Majesty, I agree with prince Murong Xi.
Houyan will be more at a disadvantage if we rely on Murong Un too much.
General Fengba!
If you abandon Murong Un like this, nobody will be as loyal to Houyan.
Your Majesty!
That's enough!
Stop it!
Stealing national secrets from an enemy state is a serious crime.
We have to give up Ko Un to prove we had nothing to do with it.
I don't want to hear about this matter again.
Your Majesty.
There is an envoy from Goguryeo.
An envoy?
Yes, it seems he is here regarding prince Murong Un.
Meet him and make our position clear.
Yes, Your Majesty
Prince Murong Un came to pay condolence,
but he tried to steal national matters and was detained.
Are you saying he did all this on his own?
We never gave such an order.
We only told him to pay condolence to commander Ko Mu
Fine.
Then what did you do with the secrets he stole form Goguryeo?
Secrets?
You said yourself he is detained in Goguryeo.
How can we have any of your secrets?
We detained him because we were sure of his crime.
What will you do if Goguryeo wants to punish him for his acts?
Whatever the reason, treating him recklessly is an insult to Houyan.
Have you forgotten that the princess of Goguryeo is here?
She is the crown prince's wife.
How can you threaten us using her?
How can you mention the princess in this situation?
What?
How dare you?
Stop it!
I understand Goguryeo's position.
This is a royal writ.
This should give you an answer.
This is what I would expect from Houyan.
Murong Bao's quarters
Crown prince.
You took Ko Un in as your stepson,
but you're abandoning him now that he has no use for you.
What are you talking about?
He is your stepson.
It's upsetting for me, too.
Why are you so concerned?
Ko Un is from Goguryeo.
I am in rage of the way you treat Goguryeo people.
It was His Majesty's order.
There is nothing I can do.
I am disappointed.
I am really disappointed.
Can you help me?
Seol Doan's tent, Mohe Houyan has Goguryeo's national secrets?
Are you saying Houyan could start another battle?
Yes.
His Majesty asked that you watch Houyan and Biryeo.
I'm waiting for an answer regarding an alliance with Biryeo.
Biryeo could join forces with Houyan again.
Houyan could attack Mohe first.
I know that.
They will want retaliation for our betrayal.
How about sending scouts to Houyan and Biryeo?
I will go to Biryeo.
Won't that be dangerous?
I also would like my home country to have an alliance with Goguryeo.
I would like to help.
It won't be that dangerous if she goes with our scouts.
That's a good idea.
Okay.
This has become a greater crisis for Mohe.
If you trust Goguryeo, you will overcome this.
Yes, I'll have to trust the king of Goguryeo and join forces.
Damdeok's office, Gungnaeseong
This is what Houyan decided?
Yes, Your Majesty.
Read this.
You expect me to believe a false royal writ like this?
Look at the seal.
Iyeong received it in person from crown prince Murong Bao.
Houyan abandoned you.
You were disowned and stripped of all military authority.
Look at yourself.
It wasn't enough to betray Goguryeo.
You tried to steal national secrets to be successful in Houyan.
But look at the result.
You were abandoned by Houyan.
I was abandoned by Goguryeo and a friend I trusted.
It would be natural for Houyan to abandon me.
I don't care.
You don't care?
What happened to you?
Why do we have to fight as enemies?
Why!
Ko Un, snap out of it.
I could be more than the prince of Houyan if I could destroy you.
I could even sell my soul to the devil.
I am going to cause your downfall.
Do you hate me that much?
I thought you would still have some loyalty for Goguryeo.
But this is it?
Don't waste time trying to convince me.
I will never bow to you.
I am going to try to convince you to the end.
I am going to have you as my friend once again.
It's not a waste of time.
That's what my heart wants.
Your Majesty.
What brings you here?
Her Highness and Ko Chang would like to see you.
The queen and Ko Chang?
Yes, Your Majesty.
Let's go.
Are you planning to kill Ko Un?
I'm glad Houyan abandoned him, but I feel sorry for him, too.
I have mixed feelings, too.
When I think of my father, I want him to die right now,
but we can't just kill him like that.
I saw a truly loyal servant in the last battle.
I learned that true loyalty means compromise with an enemy.
I thought there was nothing I couldn't do for Goguryeo.
Your Majesty, you gave me a duty.
I am going to forget about my revenge for now for the sake of the greater cause.
- Bring Do Gwang. - Yes, sir.
Palace prison
- Lock him back up! - Yes, sir!
What brings the queen of Goguryeo to see a criminal?
I prepared some food when I heard you weren't eating.
I understand the rage you have against Goguryeo.
Lady Doyeong went missing and the prime minster died.
But you know well that His Majesty didn't want any of that.
You can leave now.
Setting aside the prime minister's death,
you became like this because of Lady Doyeong.
She is alive.
What did you just say?
Doyeong...
Doyeong is alive?
Yes, she is.
When His Majesty heard she was in Baekje,
he did everything possible to find her and bring her back.
But Lady Doyeong refused to come back.
Where in Baekje is she?
She moved now.
I don't know where she is.
But she is a strong person.
I'm sure she is fine.
Find Lady Doyeong.
Let go of all the rage in your heart.
Village near Wiryeseong, Baekje
Your Majesty.
How was your trip to Houyan?
I made Baekje's position clear and confirmed our alliance.
Good job.
I just finished making a round. I was about to return to Wiryeseong.
You can tell me the details there.
Yes, Your Majesty.
- We are returning to Wiryeseong. - Yes, sir!
- We are returning to Wiryeseong. - Yes, sir.
My lord...
I mean, Your Majesty.
I was worried when you disappeared without a word.
I am sorry.
Come to the palace.
I can't do that.
I'm comfortable here.
I'm not comfortable.
Do I have to come here every day?
Envoy's quarters, Gungnaeseong
Prince Murong Bao sent this letter in secret.
You must live and open up the new future I couldn't.
Your Majesty.
Prince Murong Un would like to see you.
- Show him in. - Yes, Your Majesty.
Come in.
I have a favor to ask you.
Please give me one more chance.
Give me a chance to be loyal to Goguryeo again.
