Hurry!
It's a raid!
Protect the carriage!
Yusin, save His Majesty.
Your Majesty, it's Kim Yusin.
Your Majesty.
Yusin!
Yusin! Yusin!
Yusin!
Bihyeong!
I will not forgive you!
Master, this way.
His Majesty should be at the palace.
Let's go.
Bihyeong!
Yusin!
Yusin, you can't die.
Yusin!
You can't die. You can't.
Yusin, you can't die.
Your Majesty, how are you?
Why are you serving the queen?
Please forgive us for being disloyal.
Her Highness is waiting.
- Take him. - Yes, sir.
I know you suffered.
Don't worry anymore.
I will take care of you.
You're not happy enough with driving me off the throne?
Why are you humiliating me like this?
I didn't drive you off the throne.
I just want you to be comfortable and respected as the former king
after you abdicate the throne to the prince.
Quiet!
I will not be your puppet.
Just kill me!
Kill me and take the throne yourself!
You asked for this.
If you didn't believe the princess and Chunchu to dethrone me and
didn't refuse the prince's installation as the crown prince,
none of this would have happened.
The loyal servants and people will not forgive you.
Your reign is over.
Nobody will be loyal to you.
Accept that.
You will rest in comfort when the prince takes the throne.
How is Yusin's injury?
He was very fortunate. The sword missed his heart.
It was close. It could have been fatal.
He should be alright after a few days of stability.
Thank you, merciful Buddha.
That is very fortunate.
What happened to father?
It looks like Bihyeong lured us, so he could return to the palace.
It seems I misjudged him.
I didn't think he would abandon trust.
Why did he break his promise and try to kill Yusin?
Right now, we have to gather soldiers to fight the queen.
She has His Majesty. She will attack.
We need to ask the Daeyaseong lord Bidam for soldiers. [ Daeyaseong: Today's Hapcheon ]
Please make a decision.
That seems to be the only way.
I returned the king and killed Kim Yusin as promised.
Let Yeonhwa go.
Myorang, did he really kill Kim Yusin?
I don't know if he's dead, but he stabbed him in the heart.
You must really care for Yeonhwa like she was your own daughter.
I will keep her until the prince takes the throne.
You're not keeping your promise?
Don't worry.
I wouldn't harm a child that I gave birth to.
You can go now.
What about Yeonhwa?
She is staying at the palace until the prince takes the throne.
That's what the queen said.
We have to save Yeonhwa.
The queen is evil.
She will do anything to take the throne.
Sino is right.
You stabbed Yusin who was like a brother to you to save Yeonhwa.
I can only trust the queen at this point.
What if the queen betrays you after the prince takes the throne?
We can decide what to do with the queen after the prince takes the throne.
I am going to go to Daeyaseong to gather soldiers.
Please wake up and recover.
You must take the lead in annihilating the queen and Bihyeong.
I'm going to trust you and go.
I am the pungwolju, Kim Chunchu.
I have to see the fortress lord. Open the gate.
He ordered us not to let anyone in from Seorabeol.
So leave!
You're not opening the gate for the pungwolju?
I will break down the gate if you don't open it!
It's no use.
The fortress lord isn't here.
The princess ordered me to come here.
Where is Bidam?
My lord! My lord!
My lord!
Hey!
Hurry up!
Get me out of here.
Hey!
What brings the pungwolju all the way here?
I'm sure you heard that loyalty is divided in Seorabeol.
The princess ordered me to come here and ask for soldiers to fight the queen.
We are at the border of Baekje.
If I send soldiers to Seorabeol, the Baekje army will attack us.
The princess's safety is more important right now.
If the queen succeeds with her treason, the royal family and court will fall.
I guess it was true that you colluded with Baekje and tried to sell our country.
- Arrest the traitor right now! - Yes, sir!
What are you doing?
I was ordered to arrest anyone who comes for soldiers.
The two of you are arrested for treason.
Can't you tell which side your loyalty should be on?
Don't you know that such an order was given by the queen?
I only follow orders given by the king.
- Take them away! - Yes, sir!
It's cold.
Let's go.
Let go of me!
I might have lost a big catch, but I caught the leader of traitors.
Bidam captured Chunchu at Daeyaseong.
Nobody in Silla will come to save you or the princess.
The princess lost Chunchu and Yusin. There is nothing she can do.
Please don't harm the princess.
I don't want to see any more blood before the prince takes the throne.
Accept his coronation and my regency and I will be generous to the princess.
If you have other intentions,
the princess and her followers will not survive.
Don't forget that.
Are you awake?
What happened?
You went to save His Majesty and were stabbed by Bihyeong.
Your Majesty!
I'm glad you're alright.
Father was really worried.
Where is Chunchu?
He went to Daeyaseong to ask for soldiers.
Is that true?
Don't worry.
The pungwolju will bring soldiers.
You have to get well to take the lead and fight the queen and Bihyeong.
Open up!
Open up right now!
Stop it. It's no use.
We have to do something. We can't die like this.
I heard Bidam was a man of loyalty and trust.
Was it a false rumor?
I will not forgive anyone who tries to harm the pungwolju.
The fortress lord wants to see you.
I'm sorry about earlier.
I had to avoid the queen's spies during the day.
Have a seat.
You came to ask for soldiers?
Seorabeol is...
I might be in the border area, but I know what's going on.
I know why you're asking for soldiers.
Can you give me your soldiers?
What can I expect in return from you and the princess?
I thought you were a loyal servant. How can you ask that?
I cause without actual benefits is just a reflection on the water.
I thought you were someone who could rule the world with me.
I guess I was wrong.
What?
You know the princess's cause is right.
Did you think about why the people aren't fighting against the queen?
Nothing will change for them no matter who becomes the regent.
That's why they're just watching.
Only nobility who have a future at stake will be fighting.
How can a government official say such a thing?
If we can't establish a cause,
we would be no different from wild beasts that eat to fill their stomachs.
If you will set this country straight and rule this world,
I will advance to Seorabeol right now and sweep away all the traitors.
Give me the court.
I will give everything I have to put you on the throne.
You want me to commit treason?
His Majesty lost his authority and trust.
The princess can't lead this country as a woman.
I'm just saying we should save this country.
If you want my soldiers, make a decision.
Achieve your great cause.
The queen's soldiers will be coming in the morning to transport you.
You should make a decision before then.
Will you take my soldiers and rule the world?
Or will you let the queen put the prince on the throne and be a tyrant?
Did you make a decision?
I will abdicate the throne to the prince and accept your regency.
I will tell the princess and the people.
I will end this so there isn't any more bloodshed.
You made a very wise decision.
But you have to give me your word, too.
What is it?
You made a bid decision. I can make a promise, too.
Execute Bihyeong before the prince takes the throne.
He is a traitor who will ruin the royal family of this country.
If you promise to do that,
I will accept your regency.
Bihyeong is just a loyal dog.
He will be cooked when we are done hunting.
I give you my word.
Did you make a decision?
I am a man myself.
I would like power and to achieve my cause and ambitions.
Will you seek that with me?
I will return to Seorabeol without your soldiers.
What?
If power is gained by force without a cause,
I will be no different from the queen who is a tyrant.
Ruling the world is gaining the hearts of the people.
I couldn't even win your heart. I will just return to Seorabeol.
Pungwolju.
Are you just going to watch the queen ruin this country?
Ask yourself that question.
Are you just going to watch the queen step all over our cause,
oppress the people and ruin this country?
Surrender to the queen and accept her regency?
Father really said that?
This is a letter from His Majesty.
I watched him write this of his own volition.
We watched, too.
Why are you abandoning the cause for your safety?
What deal did you make with the queen?
I lost my son-in-law and my family was ruined.
I don't have long to live. What could I expect?
I am just abiding by His Majesty's wish to stop this bloodshed.
If you surrender to the queen, all this will end.
Please make a decision for the royal family and court.
Please consider my loyalty.
Please make a decision.
The heavens helped.
I lost your father and I almost lost you.
Don't worry.
Bihyeong is going to be executed soon.
Do you really believe this will be over
if the princess surrenders?
What can we do but trust the queen?
More innocent lives will be lost if the princess resists.
Munhui, convince the pungwolju.
If he swears loyalty, the queen won't be in so much rage.
The pungwolju will never do that.
I will abide by my husband's wishes.
Do you want to ruin Beopmin's future?
Father, what are you saying?
Manmyeong.
How can you ask my children to be loyal to the enemy who killed their father?
So you want this family to be ruined because of a personal grudge?
My husband gave his life while fighting for this country.
How can you say this is a personal grudge?
If loyalty is divided between family members, ties have to be cut off.
If you continue to serve the queen,
I will have to cut off my ties with you.
Yusin, talk to your mother.
I agree with her.
I'd rather die than kneel to the queen.
I'm with Yusin.
I'm with my mother.
Me, too.
Oh, dear.
The king asked the princess to surrender. All that's left is Bihyeong.
How will I get rid of him?
What are you doing here?
It seems like you know my mother. I came to ask you about her.
How should I know your mother?
She abandoned you. Why are you looking for her?
Do you want to tell her you're disappointed?
I'd be lying if I said I wasn't disappointed.
But I want to see her.
Are you my mother?
What did you just say?
Mother.
Prince.
What did this lowlife just say?
Say it again. What did you say?
Answer me right now!
Please forgive me.
Stop right there!
Why are you letting the word of a low and foolish girl bother you?
Why are you letting her deceive you like that?
Beat her and kick her out.
I will do that, so calm down.
That little...
Traitor!
Bihyeong is the queen's loyal dog.
Hey!
Are you alright?
The people have changed.
They considered Gwimun to be their friends.
They show fear in front of you, but they criticize you.
Don't worry about it.
The world will change when the prince takes the throne.
Did you order Yeonhwa to be taken out of the palace?
Take care of what you couldn't before.
I'm sorry, but Bihyeong won't let that go.
It's to put the prince on the throne.
He won't be able to say anything.
Take care of it secretly.
Find Yeonhwa.
I'm taking her out of the palace.
Yes.
Yeonhwa!
Mother, I did wrong to the queen.
You have to leave the palace right now. Come with me.
Are you disobeying the queen's order and trying to hide her?
Quiet!
You will have to kill me before you take my daughter.
Kill her!
Find them!
It looks like they got out of the palace.
They will try to go to Bihyeong.
Wait in ambush at all the paths out of the capital.
She was injured and the child is with her. She couldn't have gotten far.
Mother, you're bleeding a lot.
I'm alright. Let's go.
Who's there?
Aren't you the queen's lady-in-waiting?
What are you doing here?
I came to see Bohui.
Please let me talk to her.
Mother, wake up.
Mother. Mother.
She is the queen's servant and Bihyeong's follower.
She must be here with bad intentions.
Sino, you are a loyal person. Why did you come here?
Who cares about loyalty when it comes to saving your child?
I came to ask Bohui to take care of this child.
Sino saved me and Beopmin when our families were captured.
She wouldn't lie.
Where is Bihyeong?
He left the capital until the prince takes the throne.
He said we would be at the old Gwimun headquarters.
Yusin!
Please don't misunderstand.
He had nothing to do with your father's death.
I saw him kill my father. Are you trying to deceive me?
Bihyeong only helped him die like a general.
You fought for different causes,
but Bihyeong still considers you like a brother.
When I first came to Seorabeol,
I was a little boy who was mad at the royal family and court for abandoning the people.
If I didn't meet you,
I probably would have become a leader of bandits and been executed.
If you want revenge for your father, come back later.
You can't fight me in that condition.
I heard you didn't kill my father.
I also heard you stabbed me to save Yeonhwa.
You are great with your sword. I know you avoided my heart.
I can forgive you even if you are my father's enemy and tried to kill me.
What I can't forgive is betraying the cause.
You are the one who taught me to save the people.
What happened to the great Gwimun leader who was respected?
Be the old Bihyeong again.
Join me to fight the queen and recover our cause.
It's too late to turn back.
I will suffer any dishonor and humiliation to put the prince on the throne.
What is the reason?
Do you think he will create a world for servants?
The world is mistaken right now,
but one day, they will know I tried to create a world for servants.
Bihyeong.
Take care of yourself.
Next time, my sword will not miss your heart.
Sino took Yeonhwa out of the palace?
I will find her and kill her.
Never mind.
What?
All this will go away when the prince takes the throne.
You don't have to look for her if she doesn't come here.
Leave her alone.
It's her fate.
There was a terrible disaster because I was lacking.
I can't look on idly anymore.
I accept the prince's coronation and the queen's regency.
I am asking you to convince the princess and Hwarangdo.
Please reconsider and remain on the throne.
That is the only way to prevent tyranny and unite the court and people.
He is right.
Please reconsider.
My authority is already lost. The court and people don't trust me.
I'm asking you to accept the queen.
We must prevent the fall of the royal family.
Support the prince until he becomes an adult.
I trust you.
Bidam refused to send his soldiers?
I'm sorry.
I wasn't able to convince him.
It's not your fault.
Don't blame yourself.
His Majesty ordered the officials to accept the queen's regency.
Hwarangdo is the only force standing up to the queen.
What will you do?
Will you surrender to the queen as His Majesty asked?
Or will you fight?
We will abide by your decision no matter what it is.
Chunchu, what is your opinion as the Hwarangdo leader?
How would you decide if you were me?
I would choose to fight until the last man was standing.
There is no chance of winning. We will be annihilated.
It could be a vain death.
Wouldn't it be right to make other plans for the future?
Human life is the most important.
I wouldn't want to die in vain.
But if I could give my precious life for my country and people,
that death would be most righteous.
If we fight the queen's tyranny,
later generations will learn from Hwarangdo's loyalty.
But if we step back for the future,
that future will never come.
This is the time to fight for our cause.
The pungwolju is right.
If we back down now,
the people will turn and this country will be ruined.
Even if you surrender, Hwarangdo will fight to the end.
Soldiers are here to take you to the palace.
You must make a decision.
I will die fighting for my country and my people.
His Majesty gave an order to bring you.
He ordered Hwarangdo to be disarmed and Poseoksa to be closed.
Accept His Majesty's order.
Loyal Hwarangdo of Silla,
your blood will achieve our cause of prosperity for Silla.
Kill those traitors and advance to the palace.
Attack!
No!

Bidam brought soldiers and is attacking the palace?
I came to win your heart.
Are you being traitorous?
The prince is not His Majesty's son.
You want to put a fake prince on the throne and serve him?
Bihyeong, your dream is ruined.
There is still work for you to do for the people and servants.
Are you colluding with Bihyeong to take the throne from me?
