Episode 76
Go on in.
The Emperor is waiting for you.
Wait here.
General...
Let us go, General Dae.
Is this true?
[Shengzhong of Liao (6th Ruler of Khitan)]
You wish to surrender?
Yes, Your Majesty.
Why?
The Imperial Palace has fallen.
What's the point of resisting?
[Dae Dosu] [Gang Jo]
I didn't expect you to relent so quickly.
It's not like you.
I have served the Empress Dowager of Goryeo.
But she's been ousted from her position of power because of Kim Chi Yang.
I have no reason to serve the new Emperor of Goryeo.
Does he speak the truth?
Yes, Your Majesty.
[Yi Hyunoon]
In fact, he once pointed his spear
at the new Emperor opposing the deposal of the Empress Dowager.
Then you shall kneel and bow as my servant.
Untie him.
No, Your Majesty!
[Yelu Dilie]
This man is dangerous!
What's to worry when your men are here?
I must receive Gang Jo's obeisance.
Untie him.
Yes.
Protect the Emperor.
General Gang, now!
Your Majesty!
General Dae!
Bastard...!
General Dae!
How dare you?!
Stop!
Your Majesty, he must be executed right now!
[Yelu Dilu]
I said stop!
You may be an enemy but
your courage is truly impressive.
That is why
I'm giving you a chance
to die the death of a glorious warrior.
If you can fight one hundred of my men
and defeat them,
you will be set free.
We may be foes but I appreciate your generosity.
Now if you'll give me my spear,
I will die fighting until my heart is content.
Give him his spear.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Bastards! Is this it?
I'll take on all 200,000 of you!
Hurry up!!
What are you waiting for?
We must protect the Empire's honor!
Kill him!
Yes.
I am a proud Balhaean
and a warrior of Great Goryeo.
Attack.
Attack!
Let me rest on this soil.
I'm sorry that we couldn't achieve our dream...
Empress Dowager...
General Gang!
General, you can't die like this.
[Yu Chungjeong]
General!
General...
Your Majesty.
I will cut off his head
and hang it outside the palace gate.
No!
That's no way to honor a true warrior.
This is truly a great loss...
Allow his subordinate to give him a burial.
And burn down the palace and this entire city!
This is their punishment for their defiance!
I'm going after the Goryeoan King!
Prepare to move out!
Yes, Your Majesty!
Who's there?
Attendant Yu!
Empress Dowager...
[Empress Dowager Cheonchu]
General Gang...
I'm here...
General Gang...
What has happened to you?
I should be the one who is dead,
but instead you're...
You can't leave us like this...
If you leave like this, what am I supposed to do?
Don't you want to go back home to Balhae?
Don't you want your wish fulfilled?
Attendant Yu.
Yes, Your Highness.
I must leave right away.
Please gather General Gang's ashes for me.
If I come back alive,
I will scatter your ashes on Balhae soil.
Perhaps Captain Noh can gather the ashes.
I have some unfinished business to take care of.
What do you mean?
I am going to Liao.
Why?
I must avenge General Gang's death.
Yi Hyunoon and Ahn Pae cannot left to live
after what they've done to Emperor Mokjong and General Gang.
I will kill those bastards and avenge their deaths, if it's the last thing I do.
Your Majesty!
Your Majesty, it's an urgent report.
The enemy has already reached Changhwa County.
[Changhwa County: Present day Paju]
But that means they will catch up to us in less than two days!
[Choi Hang (Royal archivist)]
No, they're coming on horseback, so they will be here a lot sooner.
[Gang Gamchan (Vice Minister of Rites)]
[Hyeonjeong (8th ruler of Goryeo)]
What do you suggest we do now?
Your Majesty.
We've run out of options.
[Kim Shimon (Vice Minister of Supreme Council)]
You must surrender to the enemy and save your life.
I agree.
[Mun In Wui (Minister of Works)]
There is no way we can elude capture traveling in this large group.
We must surrender.
No, that's not an option!
Then would you rather kill us all?
We're in this predicament
because we listened to you in the first place.
Do you want His Majesty to kneel to the enemy and become a servant of Liao?
Isn't that better than death?
[Choi Wonshin (Minister of Rites)]
It's better than throwing away a precious life.
Your Majesty, I urge you to heed your ministers.
[Choi Suk (Minister of Personnel)]
You must surrender and safe your life.
No, Your Majesty. Surrender is not an option.
Stop saying no and present a better idea.
[Chae Choongsun (Minister of Finance)]
If there is nothing else that can be done,
perhaps we can send an envoy to the enemy camp
and buy some time.
Yes, Your Majesty.
That's the only thing we can do at this point.
Then who will go as my envoy?
Is there no one among you who will volunteer for this mission?
Your Majesty, I will go myself.
You, Minister Gang?
Yes, Your Majesty.
We must do whatever it takes to turn the enemy troops around.
Send me on the mission.
Your Majesty...
I request permission to speak if I may.
How dare you interject?! Know your place, Colonel!
[Jo Sun]
Speak.
[Ha Gongjin]
Minister Gang is an indispensable man, who must not leave your side.
And delivering a message to the enemy camp could be a dangerous task.
I will go instead; give me your permission.
Your Majesty,
I am Colonel Ha Gongjin, an envoy sent by Emperor of Goryeo.
What?
A measly Colonel to greet the Emperor of Great Liao?
And all they do is send us a mere Colonel as an envoy?
Forgive me.
My Emperor intended to come personally,
but he has traveled too far south and was forced to send me instead.
Turn your troops around,
and he will be here soon to seek your forgiveness.
Where is the Goryeoan Emperor right now?
He is very far south.
It will take him weeks to get here.
This is a trick to make me send back my troops.
Did you think I'd fall for this?!
No, Your Majesty. I swear to you that is not what this is!
Lock up this bastard!
Take him away.
Yes, sir!
My Emperor will seek your audience once you turn the troops around.
It's the truth, Your Majesty! It's the truth!
Your Majesty!
Yelu Wuji, Yelu Chu, Su No.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Go.
Go now and capture the Emperor of Goryeo!
Yes, Your Majesty!
Your Majesty.
I'm all right.
Your Majesty.
Your Majesty, Khitan are crossing the river as we speak!
[Yu Jong]
What?
Colonel Ha has failed to turn them around?
I'm afraid so.
We should've surrendered when he had the chance!
We listened to Minister Gang and now look at us!
We're all going to be killed!
Quiet yourself!
General Tak and General Choi, you must go and hold back the enemy.
Us?
Choi Sawui (Minister of Punishment) [Tak Sajeong (Minister of the Defense)]
How can we hold back the enemy when we only have a handful of soldiers?
You are Goryeo's two highest military leaders.
You must buy as much time as you can for His Majesty to find safety.
Go now!
Please walk faster. You will get us all captured.
Your Majesty, I don't think this is going to work.
Do you have a better idea?
I think we should split up to disperse the enemy.
Then who will go with whom?
Your Majesty, we do not want to slow you down,
[Lady Yunheung]
so we will go in this direction.
Perhaps Your Majesty should go in the opposite direction.
Then I shall go with you, Your Majesty.
No, Empress. You will slow him down.
But I must go with him.
Your Highness, don't you see the Lady's intent?
[Empress Wonjeong]
My place is with the Emperor.
Aiyo... Don't be so daft!
[Court Lady Jo]
You don't know...
what those barbarians can do to you!
Please listen to your mother.
Yes, Empress. Going with me will endanger your life.
Your Majesty...
Who will escort the Empress?
I will, Your Majesty.
We will escort her as well.
Minister Tak, there are too many of them.
What do we do?
We will be wiped out if we fight.
Let us just get out of here.
What about the Emperor? We have to buy time for him.
How can we buy any time with the small number of troops we have?
It's no use.
Let's get out of here.
Stop!
Sneaky bastards!
[Yelu Wuji]
Where are they?
We'd better split up.
[Yelu Chu]
Go right with General Su No. I will go left.
Fine.
Kill them all except the Emperor the moment you find them.
Don't worry.
Let's go!
Your Highness.
Let us stop for a moment.
I can't walk anymore. I need to catch my breath.
You should've gone with the Emperor. Why did you come with us?
That hurts my feelings.
Aren't we in the same boat?
Our lives are being jeopardized because of old geezers who can't even walk!
Watch your tongue, you wench! "Old geezers"?
Your Grace!
Your Grace, the Khitan are coming this way.
You must hide!
Your Grace!
This way! Now!
Stop the enemy!
Where is the Emperor?
Answer the question or you're dead.
Where is the Emperor?
The Emperor is not with us.
But the Empress fled in that direction.
Mother!
Your Grace!
Mother!
Get out of our way!
Mother! Mother!
Mother!
Jeong!
Kill them all!
Your Grace, are you all right?
The enemy leader is dead. Wipe them out!
Empress Dowager...
thank you for saving us.
I wasn't trying to save your life.
I couldn't let them put shame upon Goryeo by violating the Empress.
Don't make any assumptions.
Where is the Emperor?
We split up at the fork in the road.
We don't know where his now.
Get back on your horses!
We must find the Emperor!
Aye!
Are you taking all of the soldiers?
Perhaps you could leave a few for us.
Is there a reason why I should?
Well, um...
Let's go!
Yes.
Your Majesty, the night is deep. Perhaps we should rest here for the night.
No, not this house, Your Majesty.
What's wrong?
This is the place we were attacked at, with the Empress Dowager, on the way to Choongju.
[Empress Sunjeong]
Attacked?
The master of the house, who harbored ill-will towards the Empress Dowager,
beat up the late Emperor and the Empress Dowager and killed Attendant Yang.
Pardon?
Bloody bastard!
Call him out at once!
Yes, sir!
Gatekeeper!
Is it true that you mocked the late Emperor and the Empress Dowager
and dared to physically assault them?
You are before His Majesty the Emperor. Answer the question!
No!
How could I dare do such a thing?!
Never!
Are you saying that the former Empress is lying?
Yes. I'm being falsely incriminated!
Your Majesty, right now we need this man's help.
If he is guilty, he can be charged and punished later.
A... Are you serious?
The Empress that we dumped outhouse waste on is here with the Emperor?
Aigoo... Yes, and they're staying in my house!
Oh no, we're in trouble! They are certain to execute us!
Then we must run. We don't have time for this!
We own land here.
We can't give up everything we own and run away.
Then what do you suggest? We'll get killed!
Let us capture the Emperor
and turn him over to the Khitan instead.
Are you out of your mind? How?
He's here because he's running from the Khitan.
There's only a handful of guards,
so we can do it if we get all our men together.
This country is going down. Why should we let them hurt us?
Let's roll the dice and see what comes up?
What do you want?
Come out here, Emperor.
I know you're in there so come out!
Bastards!
[Ji Chaemun]
What is the meaning of this?
The Emperor is resting in this house!
It's the Emperor's fault that the country is almost in ruins.
He doesn't deserve to be called "Emperor".
Watch your tongue!
Or I will be forced to strike!
Stop yapping and get the Emperor out here!
If he doesn't come out on his own, we will drag him out.
How dare you?!
What is the meaning of this insolence?
Leave at once or you will be arrested!
Protect the Emperor!
You think you can take us on with this tiny group of men?
I guess being on the run has confused your thinking.
Audacious fools!
Seize them!
Kill them!
Put down your weapons and kneel before the Emperor.
You were right, Empress.
How could my own people do this to me?
The country is at war...
But instead of uniting against the enemy,
we're forced to kill our own.
Your Highness, you must get some sleep.
I can't stop thinking about General Gang.
I've done so many things I regret...
What are you doing?
[Duyan]
Why did you bring us here?
[Prince Hwangju Kim Jin]
What are you doing? Let go of the child!
Send him in.
Jin! Jin!
Jin! Don't go in there! Jin! Don't go in there!
Jin!
Jin! No!
Jin! Jin!
You must go in or the woman will get hurt.
Jin!
Jin! Jin!
Jin, no...
Jin! Jin... Jin, don't go in there!
Jin! Jin! Jin!
Jin, don't go in there!
Jin!
Jin...
Jin!
What was that?
What have you done to my child?!
[Mobula (East Jurchen Tribal Leader)]
There is an old legend in our tribe.
I don't care about your legend!
Get my son out of there!
This legend fore tells
the coming of a foreign child who unites the Jurchen tribes
and builds a great empire.
I don't care about your legend!
Give me back my child!
Just give me back my child and we will leave this place for good!
I'm afraid I can't do that.
This child could be the child the legend foretold, like you said.
Then why are you doing this? Why did you send him into a deadly cave?
Our tribe worship bears.
The legend says that the child will spend five days with the bears and reemerge.
If your boy survives five days in that cave,
we will know that he is the one.
Forget it!
I will not subject my child to this absurdity to be a hero in your legend!
Get him out of there!
What do you mean the Royal Undersecretary and the Minister of Finance have disappeared?
That is....
Captain Yu and his men are missing as well.
My guess is they have fled.
Are you sure you're not mistaken?
How could high ministers abandon their Emperor and flee?
It's unimaginable.
I'm quite certain, sir.
They have taken our horses and saddles as well.
Your Majesty, we must leave quickly.
The Khitan could be here any moment.
Do you know this man?
Do you think the Khitan did this?
It's most likely. Goryeoan soldiers are among them.
We must find the Emperor quickly and get him out of danger.
[Choongju Palace]
Your Majesty, Lady of Choongju is not to be trusted.
May we find another place?
Your Highness,
Lady of Choongju may have behaved improperly to you and the Empress Dowager,
but this is the best option for us right now.
Let us heed Sir Choi's advice, Your Highness.
They are royalty. At least they will have armed guards to protect the Emperor.
I'm sorry.
No, Your Majesty. I overreacted.
So are you going to punish me for my actions toward Dowager Cheonchu?
The country is at war.
How could the Imperial House waste time punishing each other?
All I am saying is that you were too harsh toward the late emperor's mother.
I was not too harsh.
[Lady Choongju]
She is a whore that almost ruined the country.
I'm doing my duty as an elder of the Imperial House.
Let us not argue.
What is the use dwelling on the past?
Fine.
What brings you here anyway?
His Majesty's entourage scattered on the course of his flight from the palace.
So we came seeking your help.
It's a pity,
but Dowager Cheonchu took all of my guards leaving Choongju Palace
devoid of military protection.
So I'm afraid I must ask you to leave.
My Lady, His Majesty is running from the enemy.
As the elder of the Imperial House it is your duty to protect him.
If you do not want us here, perhaps you can give us a few horses.
I told you.
I am devoid of resources to help you.
Please leave before you put me and my family in danger as well.
Look here!
I understand.
We shall leave right away.
Where is the Emperor?
In... that... wing...
I am the Emperor of Goryeo!
Get him!
How dare you?! Take your hands off of me!
Your Majesty, you had us jumping through hoops to catch you.
Take him.
No, that man is not the Emperor!
What?
That's the Emperor's attendant.
If you let me live, I will help you find the Emperor.
Is this true?
That's absurd!
I am the Emperor of Great Goryeo!
Your liar! How dare you?!
You're...!
It's been a while.
