How did this happened?
Geumlan died saving my life....
Let me take the troops. I can`t let them get away with what they`ve done!
Take Geumlan inside.
-You must have your injury examined first. -Give me the troops!
I must avenge Geumlan`s death!
-Joyoung! -Control yourself.
General Dae Jungsang has been captured by the enemy.
General Dae Jungsang?
Hold back your rage for now.
I promise you we will get our revenge and comfort Geumlan`s soul and the soul of everyone that died on those mountains.
So let`s treat your injury first.
Joyoung...
I`m sorry...
I faild to protect Geumlan.
Geumlan doesn`t want to see you in despair.
She wants you to fight to the end and achieve the great duty.
Don`t tell me you feel no grief by Geumlan`s death!
We have to rescue General Dae Jungsang first. We will grief Geumlan`s death later.
Looking back....
You lived your entire life for me but I`ve done nothing for you.
But know this, Geumlan.
You may have left us tragically.
But many people will live happy lives on a new land owing to your sacrifice.
I give you my word that I will not let your death be in vain.
You know what?
You`re the only persone I had in this world that was like family to me.
You were like my own flesh and blood.
I always wanted to tell you that.
So you`d know that you`re not alone. So you`d know that you have family, too...
I wanted to tell you that when you were alive...
I`m sorry...
I`m sorry, Geumlan...
Welcome, general.
Good work.!
You managed to capture half of this impenetrable natural fortress Chunmunryeong.
We have failed to eliminate Dae Joyoung. ~Li Kaigu~
That`s all right. We`ll get him eventually. ~Xue Rengui~
So I heard Dae Joyoung took what`s left of his army to the ridge on the other side?
Yes, sir.
But now that our grand army has entered Chunmunryeong. Dae Joyoung is as good as dead. ~Shin Hong~
That`s right,general.
We cannot fail from how far we`ve come. ~Li Wen~
Don`t be so sure.
We cannot relax until Dae Joyoung`s head is in our hands.
That`s right.
They slipped through our fingers more than once when we were certain we had them.
We can`t give them a chance to retaliate this time.
No, we must end this oersisting fight against Dae Joyoung once and for all.
By the way, sir, we have one more delighful news for you.
Delightful news?
We have Dae Jungsang in our custody.
Dae Jungsang? You`ve captured Dae Jungsang alive?
The enemy holds all the trumps.
It won`t be easy for Joyoung to beat them with what`s left of are army.
No, but we have a secret army hidden away. ~Dae Jungsang:Dae Joyoung`s Father~
What do you mean?
The Mohe tribes living scattered across Mt. Dongmo.
You think they will help us?
If all of the tribes come together, there`re at least 20,000 soldiers.
That should be enough to contend with the Tang Chinese.
But they haven`t once come foward to help while we`ve been fighting this war.
That`s why they could be our secret weapon.
-I wouldn`t worry if they come through for us, but... -We have to make them come through for us.
I`m sure Joyoung is working on it already.
The Mohe army might already be at our camp.
-Get Dae Jungsang out! -Aye!
Jungsang!
Leave us.
Yes, general. Let`s go.
Sit down.
One of us should have died long time ago...
Look at us. Now I am forced ti watch your execution.
Why did you wish to see me?
You and I are heroes of our time who once feuded for mastery of this land.
Great Dae Jungsang should die on the battlefield not on a execution stand.
How about it?
Would you persuade your son to surrender if I send you back alive?
This fight is already over.
Dae Joyoung may be a gifted general but he can`t turn this war around.
Yield now and stop the sacrifice of precious lives.
We will fight and fight again until there is no one left standing.
My man, I`m giving you a final opportunity as you long time friend and rival.
I don`t care how I die.
All I want now is for my death to help my son fulfill his grand mission some how.
Yes... I`m sure...
Here, let`s have a drink.
You will get to see who becomes the final victor in this fight.
And when you do, remember these words.
Li Kaigu cannot defeat my son. And Tang cannot stop the birth of new Goguryeoo.
Sure, I`ll remember.
If it gives you peace to believe that in your final hours, I will not fight you.
Drink.
This is bad. The soldiers moral is at rock bottom.
We`ve tried everything but nothing seems to work.
They consider thsi battle already lost.
I don`t blame them.
We lost one leader after anothe from Heuk Sudol to Geunlan, and Chunmunryeong is nearly lost..
General!
Master Jang is back.
Welcome back. How did it go?
Not good. We can forget about getting aid from the Mohe tribes. ~Jang Sanhae~
I sent a personlly handwritten letter. Did they refuse my request?
They think we already lost this war and helping us is a lost cause.
But you should`ve convinced them somehow.
Theyh won`t even listen to us out of fear of repercussions.
What do we do now, Joyoung?
There`s no one else for us to turn to.
General...!
How many combat ready soldiers do we have left?
No more than five thousand including the lightly injured, sir.
Five thousand....
Gulsabiwu, prepare the troops. We`re moving out tonight.
What do you mean, general? Tonight?
We will attack first instead of waiting around helplessly for them to attack us.
We`re grossly outnunbered and the soldiers` moral could not be lower. ~Mimosa~
They will fight to survive when death is staring them at their faces. There is no other way to stimulate the fighting spirit right now.
We can`t do this, sir.
General Dae Jungsang is being held captive. We can`t risk losing you as well.
Send me to the Mohe tribes once again. I`ll persude them and bring back aid. ~Gulsabiwu~
It`s too late.Even if the Mohe tribes decide to help us, it will take at least five days for their troops to arrive.
By then the enemy would have killed my father and attacked us.
But it`s reckless to lauche an attack tonight.
Give us a little more time, general. We will figure out a way somehow.
This is so frustrating... So fustrating!
Geom, I have a job for you.
Go to the Mohe leader and bring back military aid.
Mother...!
I will buy time until you get back with reinforcements so persuade them and bring them back somehow. ~Chulin~
Can you do it?
The fate of everyone in this camp is on your shoulders.
Can you persuade the Mohe leaders?
I will not fail, Mother. Now you must tell me. ~Li Geom:Chulin`s son~
How do you plan to buy time?
What do you have in mind, Mother?
We have no time for this. You must leave at once.
Tell me, mother.
You must help General Dae Joyoung and accomplish the great duty no matter what I do.
That is the only way to revive Khitan.
Mother...
Go now.
I have faith in you, Geom.
So put your faith in me and do your job. Do you understand?
Yes, mother. I will.
What brings you hear at this hour? Is there something wrong?
We were defeated in the last battle because the Khitans failed to perform our duty.
Stop.
This is not the time to discuss fault and merits.
I thought long and hard about how I could be of help to you.
Tie me.
Charge me with conspiring with the enemy and hold me prisoner.
You will be able to exchange me with General Dae Jungsang.
Chulin!
We are in a very vulnerable situation right now.
Initiate a hostage negotiation and buy time until Geom gets back with the reinforcements.
You mean Geom went to the Mohe tribes?
Yes.
Geom will come through for us.
You have done more for us than we could ever ask for.
But we brought you terrible harm.
I want to make up for it somehow.
Don`t hesitate, general.
You may never see Geom again whether we win or lose.
I`m prepared.
Forgive us for what we have done.
Defeat the enemy and realize the great dream.
Geom, I do not know when these battle will end.
But I do know where you and I belong.
I wanted to keep you with me to the end, but Heaven wants me to release you into the world.
I want to be proud of my son.
So fight to the end no matter what happens.
Geom... My dear son Geom...
You can`t imagine how delighted I am that I get to kill you at last. ~LLi Kaigu~
Li Kaigu, you betrayed our trust and paid back our kindness with evil. ~Dae Jungsang:Dae Joyoung`s Father~
Your shameful victory is pitiable compared to my honorable defeat.
Silence!
You have no room to talk about trust in front of me.
How so?
I`m sure you haven`t forgotten.
Many years ago, you killed a man named Bu Jigwang.
Bu Jigwang?
How do you know Bu Jigwang?
He...
....is my father.
Then you`re that child....!
Tonight I`ve turned my back on the two people that brought me into this world.
I must not be forgiven. Father.... Mother....!
All you have to do is to unbolt the castle gate. The Tang army will do the rest.
If I betray my country, I would be betraying my family and my parents as well.
I will follow my parents soon. I will seek their forgiveness then.
No, I can`t accept this. I can`t let them die for a useless cause!
Goguryeo doesn`t need a traitor like you.
From this moment, I will fight for my parents.
And you will fight for Goguryeo.
This is our regrettable fate, my friend.
You`ve betrayed your country and betrayed the trust of a friend.
You are no longer my friend!
If you fail to stop me, Ansi castle will crumble.
Why? Why didn`t you strike?
Let go of my hand!
I wanted you to be the one to send me off, my dear friend.
Goguryeo has many brave men to protect her but I`m all that my parents have.
Jigwang!
-I can`t go any further, I need to catch my breath. -We must keep going.
We`re sure to be killed if wer are captured by either army. We must quickly get out of here!
I don`t know what to do. How did it come to this?
Here. Let me take the baby. This way.
My father fought for Goguryeo to the end
And you accused him of betrayal and took his life.
And at last I will avenge his death!
If you really are Bu Jigwang`s son, stop this war now and withdraw your troops.
Your father gave his life to save Ansi Fort!
He would worry about Goguryeo and it`s people even in his death!
Once Dae Joyoung is dead, I will take his people and establish my own country in Mt.Dongmo.
That`s right. My country.
Not Dae Joyoung, but Li Kaigu will be the master of this land.
The new state that awaits us in Mt.Dongmo doesn`t belong to any one person but all of us.
And that new state will be a new Goguryeon.
-A new Goguryeo? -That`s right.
It is the resurrection of mighty Goguryeo that stands tall at the heart of the land.
You`re about to be executed.
You can dream all you want about a new Goguryeo in the afterlife.
-General. Get these men out.
I will execute them personally.
General, may I have a word?
We have a problem.
You need to come outside and see this.
Look over there.
It`s Princess Chulin. They`re holding her hostage.
They`re watching. Are you all right?
I`m fine.
Tactician Mimosa is going to them now. Hang in there.
Is it true that Chulin conspired with the Tang army?
My guess is this was her idea. Am I right? ~Sukyoung(Dae Joyoung`s Wife)~
Yes, you`re right.
I never thought she`d sacrifice herself like this to help us.
Like I told you before, the Khitans are my people as well.
I`m ashamed of myself for ever doubting her.
Too many people have shed their blood and tears on Chunmunryong.
We must win this fight if only for them.
We must!
They`re threatening to kill Princess Chulin if we kill Dae Jungsang.
Don`t be fooled. ~Li Wen~
-It`s a cheap trick to confuse you. -But we can`t let Princess Chulin die.
Dae Joyoung will never kill Princess Chulin. We should proceed with Dae Jungsang`s execution. ~Shin Hong~
General!
General, Dae Joyoung`s sent a messenger.
A messenger?
It`s their military tactician Mimosa.
Mimosa is here in the flesh?
How dare you walk in here? You are reckless.
I don`t come close to being as reckless as you are for invading Chunmunryeong. ~Mimosa~
What? You little....!
Calm down.
So, why did your master send you?
Release General Dae Jungsang.
Or the hostage in our possession will die.
I don`t know who came up with this plan but it`s pathetic.Dae Joyoung will never kill Chulin.
We know that she helped you from inside to capture this camp.
What?
My master is infuriated by the Khitans` betrayal. He may kill no just Chulin but Geom as well.
You`ve pushed us to the edge.
And with General Dae Jungsang`s life in danger, there will be irreversible consequences if you expect any more patience from General Dae Joyoung.
Silence! How dare you threaten me!
Locke these men up at once!
Yes, sir!
Let go, you bastards! We are messengers!
What are you waiting for? Take them away!
Pay heed if you don`t want Chulin dead! I promise you, you will regret it!
Don`t be fooled.
They`re so desperate they will try anything.
Let go of me, you bastards!
Stay quietly, or you will be executed first.
-You... -General!
-Are you all right, general? -Yes, I`m fine.
-What are you men doing here? -We`ve come to get you out.
Get us out? How?
I can`t tell you the details, but they will have no choice but to release you.
How about reinforcements? Did you acquire military aid from the Mohe tribes?
They haven`t arrived?
I don`t think we can expect help from the Mohe tribes.
Then how will we continue to fight this war?
Oh, no!
Our last hope has vanished!
-Then just give them Dae Jungsang. -General, how can you say that?
Releasing him won`t change a thing.
In fact if we execute him in front of Dae Joyoung and his men they will explode with rage and renewed strength. ~Xue Rengui~
But we can`t release the biggest hostage we`ve ever captured.
Dae Jungsang said something to me the other day. He said his death must help his son.
What do you think that means?
It means he is going to die bravely and let his death serve as an insiration to his men.
What do you think, Tactician?
If that`s what Dae Jungsang wants, why should we let him have his way? We can attack after the hostage exchange.
Both Dae Jungsang and Dae Joyoung will die anyway.
I still don`t feel right about releasing Dae Jungsang.
The hostage exchange will take place at the valley between two camps.
Be there with Princess Chulin tomorrow at noon. We will be there with Dae Jungsang.
Very well. I will deliver the message.
I just sent back Mimosa.
Call the warriors together.
We will attack immediately after the hostage exchange tomorrow.
Tomorrow, sir?
We have no reason to wait.
Once we have Chulin, there will be nothing holding us back so let`s get this over with.
Yes, sir.
General.
General, we`re back.
We will exchange the hostage tomorrow at the half way point.
Gulsabiwu, prepare the troops for combat.
Are we going to battle tomorrow?
If I`m right they will attack immediately after the hostage are swapped.
If we can`t avoid the fight, we might as well deliver the first blow.
But we still don`t have aid from the Mohe tribes.
What if we are provoking them when they don`t intend to attack?
We don`t know whether aid is coming or not.
We should make the first move if only for the soldiers` morale.
When the enemy begins to retaliate, we will retreat.
It`s imperative that the advance and retreat orders are delivered promptly.
I understand. I will advise the officers.
Let`s get you down now.
Thank you.
Will we ever be able to thank see each other again? ~Sukyoung(Dae Joyoung`s wife)~
Never, I hope.
If General Dae Joyoung wins this battle our path will never cross again. ~Chulin~
I pray that will happen and that I will forever be forgotten.
In retrospect, our relationship was a resilient and cruel one.
I will always be praying for your happiness wherever fate takes you from here.
I will be praying that the great dream is realized,
and you rise as the mother of all people.
Thank you....
Let go of me!
Kneel.
State your identity.
I am the Prince of Khitan Geom.
Khitan? The state that crumbled in Yingzhou? ~Mohe Tribe leader~
That`s right.
Do you know why Khitan crumbled?
Because the government was rotten to the core. Right, men?
You, the Mohe tribes, are on the same path of festruction that Khitan was on. ~Li Geom(Chulin`s son)~
How dare you? The same path of destruction?
We betrayed General Dae Joyoung and joind hands with Tang China.
As a result, we descended into our doom in the guileful plays of Tang.
You are exactly where we once were.
You turned you backs on General Dae Joyoung, the man you once swore loyalty to because you`re afraid if making an enemy of Tang.
Once Chunmunryeong is conquered, Tang will come after you as well.
Why can`t you see that helping General Dae Joyoung is helping yourselves?
I heard General Dae has less than five thousand soldier left.
Even if we send aid, they will be wiped out before we get there.
You`re wrong.
-General Dae Joyoung will hold the enemy back. -What if you`re wrong?
What if we go to his rescue and he is defeated before we arrive?
Then you can take me prisoner and offer me to the Tang Chinese.
But I assure you we will not be defeated. You must trust me on this.
General, we`re ready for battle.
The situation could turn ugly. Find safe place to hide for now.
No, I will wait here until you get back.
Be careful.
-Take care of your mother. -I will, Father.
General.
I should`ve gone with them.
The narrow valley will turn into a hellhole once the battle breaks out. It`s best you stay away, sir.
But I need to see Dae Joyoung going down with my own eyes.
General Li Kaigu and Li Wen will not let you down, sir.
Why do I feel so anxious? I don`t know why my heart is beating so hard.
It`s an exciting moment, sir. You`re about to rise to the top. It`s only natural for you to be anxious.
Do you think so?
Honpei, water no, get me a bottle of wine.
-I need to calm my nerves. -Yes, sir.
Send over the hostage!
