Fengba!
Why are you ruining everything?
I'm sorry.
What good is an apology?
Nothing you did ever went well!
But this isn't completely my fault.
What?
It's not completely your fault?
There is a spy in the palace.
A spy?
How else could the king of Goguryeo been prepared for everything?
That does make sense.
We're the only people who know he was going to distance them.
How did the king of Goguryeo know?
There really must be a spy.
That's right.
If there are spies, they will get in the way of all your plans.
We have to find the spy.
Your Majesty, you appointed me as the Prince of Hejian.
I would like to repay you for your grace.
Give me a chance to find the spy.
No, Your Majesty.
This was my fault.
I would like to make up for it by finding the spy.
Your Majesty!
Stop!
You are both loyal.
But the person who tied the knot should untie it.
Okay.
I will trust you one more time, Fengba.
Fengba's quarters, Houyan palace
General, do you really suspect it is the crown prince's wife?
She is loved dearly by the crown prince.
She gave birth to a son, too.
That's why I'm hesitating.
I need definite proof.
General! General!
Did you find out about Ha Muji's followers?
Yes.
One named Chongmyeong is wandering outside the palace often.
Chongmyeong?
Is he acting alone?
Yes, sir.
Capture him and bring him to me.
He is a servant of the Goguryeo envoys.
If we...
All the more reason to capture him.
What would be more certain than what a Goguryeo envoy knows?
Who knows what Ha Muji will plan next?
Lure him to the suburbs and capture him.
Is that understood?
Yes, sir!
Market, Zhongsan, Houyan
- You! - Capture him!
You!
You little rat. Take him!
Let go of me!
Take him!
Let go of me!
You!
We can't get involved.
Follow them covertly.
Zhongsan, capital of Houyan
What?
They took Chongmyeong?
Where did they take him?
Envoy's quarters, Houyan palace We followed them, but there were too many guards.
Fengba's followers took Chongmyeong.
It means they found out that Houyan secrets are being leaked.
What should we do?
We'll get caught if we move now.
Wait for a chance and rescue him when you can.
Yes, sir.
Sir!
Sir.
What brings you here?
He's from Goguryeo.
He's only dressed like a Houyan soldier.
His Majesty is worried you didn't send any news.
Is something wrong?
Security is heavy outside the envoys' quarters.
There is a slight problem.
I will write you a letter.
Yes, sir.
Secret prison outside Houyan palace
Answer me!
Stop!
Did he say who the spy is?
General, he isn't saying a word.
Is that so?
I guess he needs to be beaten some more.
General, he could die if we torture him further.
So what? He's just a servant.
We can just bury him where he can't be found.
I'll tell you.
Let me live.
I'll tell you everything I know.
Please spare me.
Envoys' quarters, Houyan palace Sir! Sir!
Chongmyeong was taken?
Yes, princess.
That could put you in danger.
It doesn't matter what happens to us.
I'm more worried about you.
They took Chongmyeong because they suspected me.
It also means they suspect you.
Nobody can do anything to me.
Yes, but no matter what the position, a spy is executed.
- Hurry! - Yes, sir!
Come on!
Hurry!
It's general Fengba.
He's moving quickly.
Did he find the spy already?
You'll have to be careful what you say and do.
They will be watching you.
I know.
I won't hesitate if anything damages Damdeok or Goguryeo.
That is the reason I am here.
I know how loyal you are.
But you must think of the people who care about you.
I will take on any risks from now on.
You must act as if nothing happened.
Okay.
- Hurry! - Hurry!
We must hurry.
Hurry! Hurry!
Murong Un's quarters, Houyan palace
Arrest Ko Un for revealing Houyan secrets.
Yes, sir!
What are you doing?
Revealing what secrets?
You!
We know everything.
Get down on your knees!
We have a witness.
A witness?
Who is it?
The spy is...
Ko Un.
What?
Ko Un?
Did you say Ko Un?
Yes.
How dare you lie like that?
Please.
It's true.
Ko Un is a Goguryeo person.
He lived at the migrants' village for a while, too.
He spared his life by swearing loyalty to His Majesty.
He prevented the attack against Goguryeo by Biryeo and Houyan.
I don't know about everything,
but the Magoseong matter was settled because of the information from him.
Please spare my life.
Let me live.
You're wrong.
I'm not a spy!
You're not a spy!
Nobody cares about the truth.
People see what they want and believe what they want.
Why did you do something to arouse suspicion?
We've got our confirmation.
Get him out of here!
Yes, sir!
Get up!
Take him away!
Murong Bao's quarters
Your Majesty.
Did you find the spy?
You don't have to worry about that.
I'm only asking because you look worried.
Worried?
My concern is always caused by the king of Goguryeo.
When I find the spy, he's going to wish he was dead.
Your Majesty!
General Fengba arrested Ko Un as the spy.
Ko Un is the spy?
Yes, Your Majesty.
He is locked up.
Lead the way.
I'm going to go and see him right now.
Yes, Your Majesty!
Prison, Houyan palace
Ko Un is the spy?
Yes, Your Majesty.
We confirmed all the facts.
I trusted you.
How dare you betray me like this?
Your Majesty.
You saved your life by swearing loyalty to the king of Goguryeo?
That was only to return to Houyan.
Then why did you prevent our attack with Biryeo?
Chongmyeong is Ha Muji's servant.
How can you believe what he says?
He's more trustworthy because he is Ha Muji's servant.
He can't be so bold as to lie when he is facing death.
The greatest proof is that you're from Goguryeo.
What will you do if he lied?
What if he accused me to protect the real spy?
What?
He knows I have an important position.
What if he lied to have me eliminated?
Even if you're not a spy, how can His Majesty trust you if you can't prove it?
Come to me when you can prove you are not the spy.
Your Majesty! Your Majesty!
I will help you with Biryeo's strength.
I've been preparing a rebellion with some of my followers.
I'm going to take control of Biryeo again.
How about using that?
Goguryeo command, Magoseong, Houyan
Sit down.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Houyan land seems to be good for farming.
Yes, Your Majesty.
It is rich land that yields a rich harvest every year.
If we could make it our land, our people wouldn't starve for generations.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Our ancestors lived on this land.
We must recover this land.
Listen to me carefully.
Yes, Your Majesty.
I am going to pass on this land to our descendants.
Your Majesty!
This is a letter from Ha Muji.
The Houyan court is looking for the spy in the palace.
That will put Princess Damju in danger.
Your Majesty!
Your Majesty.
There is an urgent message from Biryeo.
A rebellion?
What is Yeon Salta doing? How can there be signs of a rebellion?
Nothing is for sure yet.
There aren't many people who are following Batar.
He was the chief of Biryeo. We can't ignore his influence.
We should check the facts before we do anything.
If they find out you are going to Biryeo, we don't know what they will do.
This could be a trap to lure you to Biryeo.
Yes and the actions of the Houyan court are suspicious, too.
What should we do?
Return to the Houyan palace or head to Biryeo?
Your Majesty, send me to Biryeo.
You?
It's a matter involving my people. I would like to settle this.
Okay, but you must not get involved in anything dangerous.
Grasp the situation and be prepared.
Yes, Your Majesty.
I will decide where to go after we receive news from Biryeo.
Yes, Your Majesty
Zhongsan, capital of Houyan
There is something going on between her and Ha Muji.
But we already found Ko Un to be the spy.
No, something's suspicious.
He looked like he felt it was really unjust.
How about keeping a close watch on the crown prince's wife?
If Ko Un isn't the spy, it's her.
Watch her carefully.
Yes, sir.
Envoys' quarters, Houyan palace
Princess, I told you it would be best if you didn't come here for a while.
I'm suffering too much.
Ko Un was arrested as being the spy.
Ko Un was?
Why?
Did Chongmyeong...
What are you talking about?
Chongmyeong must have accused Ko Un of being the spy.
His life will be in danger if they find out he lied.
They can't make him testify formally.
They can't admit to torturing a Goguryeo envoy.
My heart is burdened.
Many people are suffering because of me.
Princess, Ko Un should have died a long time ago.
Do you know how many crises His Majesty faced because of him?
But I feel sorry for him.
The most important person right now is you.
Think of your prince.
Please don't think about anything and do as I say for a while.
Okay.
You have something to say?
There is a way to prove that I am not the real spy and
at the same time find the real spy.
There is a way?
Yes.
If you trust me and do as I say,
you can find the spy and get rid of the king of Goguryeo.
You said other countries would criticize us if we eliminated Damdeok.
It would be a different story if Biryeo killed him.
Biryeo?
Yes, Your Majesty.
Followers of Batar are planning a rebellion.
I'm sure Damdeok heard about this.
So?
Batar will wait in ambush when Damdeok heads to Biryeo.
Damdeok won't know about this.
He will be ambushed and killed.
Do you think a weak strategy like that would work?
We don't know if Damdeok will get to Biryeo.
Even if he does, we don't know which path he will take or how many soldiers he will bring.
There are too many unknown factors.
The rebels have already taken control of all roads to Biryeo.
No messenger or scout can enter Biryeo without Batar's approval.
That means Damdeok's people would have to move blindly.
If that is true, we can use those messengers and scouts.
We could lure Damdeok into a trap.
Of course.
Look here.
How will you prove that you are not the spy?
If Damdeok doesn't fall for the trap, another spy would have told him.
If he falls for the trap, Damdeok would die because of me.
That would prove I am not the spy.
If I was the spy, would I be this willing to kill Damdeok?
So, we just have to catch whoever takes this information to Damdeok.
If we capture him, we can find out who is behind it.
What do you need for this to happen?
Release Batar.
And give him Houyan soldiers for reinforcement.
Fine.
Release Batar and give him some soldiers.
You will remain locked up until this succeeds.
General Fengba, carry out the plan with Batar.
Have our soldiers disguised as Biryeo soldiers.
Houyan must have nothing to do with this.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Sir! Sir!
Chongmyeong, are you alright?
Sir.
You poor thing.
I thought I was going to die.
Did you think I would let you die before me?
It just wasn't easy to find a chance to rescue you.
You did well.
How are things going?
Thanks to your smart thinking, the princess is safe.
Fengba believed you and put Ko Un in prison.
I had a great teacher.
It's going to be worth it.
Is it alright for me to be here?
The foot of the candle is dark.
People can't come and go as they please. You'll be safe here.
It's frustrating our communication with messengers was cut off.
I will go and see if any messengers returned.
No.
Secretly see Do Gwang first.
Yes, sir.
Sir.
Bi mo sal.
What does it mean?
It means Biryeo is conspiring to kill His Majesty.
I heard Batar is leaving with general Fengba and soldiers.
There are signs of a rebellion in Biryeo.
Oh, dear.
What's wrong?
I will write you a letter.
Get it to His Majesty as soon as possible.
Yes, sir.
Agban's tent, Biryeo camp
General!
What brings you here?
His Majesty sent us to see how things are in Biryeo.
Is everything alright?
Everyone is living a much better life thanks to His Majesty.
Batar's followers seem to be moving about more busily.
Are you saying there are signs of a rebellion?
I think so.
Did you know about this?
You must move quickly.
What do you mean?
His Majesty could be in danger.
It seems like someone leaked this information on purpose.
Like general Hwang Hoe said, they could be trying to lure His Majesty to Biryeo.
How many soldiers can you provide?
I can gather 3,000 in two days.
If they're going to ambush him, it will probably be here at Mt. Hwanggyesan.
I agree.
Send some soldiers right now.
Okay.
We have to get word to His Majesty.
Okay.
Get a messenger ready.
Yes, sir!
I should kill them all.
Goguryeo camp, Magoseong, Houyan
This is from the Biryeo chief.
Batar's followers are preparing to start a rebellion.
They don't have enough soldiers, so they want reinforcements.
We need time to send reinforcements.
Those Khitans, I mean, Biryeo...
We should kill them all.
Yeo Seokgae!
It's not such a simple matter.
How about sending a message to the prime minister?
He can send reinforcements.
Yes.
It isn't good to move without the ample forces.
It's strange that Biryeo is making a sudden move like this.
This could be a ploy by Houyan.
Yes.
Batar is on Ko Un's side.
There are too many suspicious factors to say it's just a coincidence.
That's true, but we should head to Biryeo.
Something urgent must have happened since we haven't heard from Ari.
Prepare to leave.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Houyan camp near Biryeo
Where is the letter?
Batar is plotting to kill His Majesty. He must not head to Biryeo.
Who did you get this letter from?
Give us his name.
You won't get what you want!
You dirty Goguryeo rats.
You're so persistent.
Did you send the letter to Damdeok?
Yes, sir.
They didn't notice it was a fake?
It's a good fake.
They won't notice.
All messengers have been cut off and Damdeok has been lured to Biryeo.
We should get to the ambush site.
Okay.
Envoys' quarters, Houyan palace
Sir! Sir!
Why are you so late? Did His Majesty receive the letter?
We haven't heard from any of our messengers.
They must have scouts who are cutting off our messengers.
What should we do? His Majesty is in danger.
I will try to contact the scouts.
Do that.
Yes, sir.
It's nice to see a scout.
Where are you coming from?
Ung Sim sent me.
I'm coming from Biryeo.
Biryeo?
Murong Bao's office Your Majesty!
Our soldiers cut off all messengers between Goguryeo and Biryeo.
Did the scout say who was behind this?
The scout took his life.
What?
They're really something.
It doesn't matter if Damdeok dies.
Things are going according to our plan, so don't worry.
What about Damdeok? When is he leaving for Biryeo?
He is already on his way.
Are you alright?
Let's go, Your Majesty.
Let's go.
Yes, Your Majesty.
We'll go to Mt. Hwanggyesan.
Your Majesty, they could be waiting in ambush there.
It's a shortcut.
We can save time.
Don't worry and follow me.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Go to the ambush site. Let us know when you capture Damdeok.
It's an ambush!
Shields forward!
I've been waiting for you.
Batar, how dare you?
