King Geunchogo
Episode 24
I have the enemy commander's flag.
The two fortresses belong to me and the people of Buyeo.
Why do you have the flag?
All that sand...
I can't seem to remember our promise very well.
What was the promise?
The person with the enemy commander's flag
becomes the owner of the fortresses.
Wasn't there something else?
The loser has to serve the winner. Isn't that right?
That's right.
You must give up Jincheng and serve me.
How can the prince of Baekje serve a bandit?
If you don't want to,
take your people and go to Cheonghawon.
We can't give you the fortresses.
You don't have to, prince.
You don't want to keep your promise?
You didn't keep your promise when we signaled the fire first.
We're bandits, but a prince should keep his promise.
Who defeated the Zhao army?
It was the prince who came up with the plan and made it successful.
I know you don't want to give up the fortresses,
but this is pathetic.
If they won't go, we'll just kick them out.
You can have the fortresses.
You're a prince indeed.
There are many other fortresses in Zhao. You'll have one soon.
There's one thing you have to answer before I do that.
How was Gugeom injured?
Bring the arrows.
They aren't enemy arrows. How can this be?
These are arrows that father and I bought.
We bought them in Tieshan in Shanxi.
What's going on?
Did you shoot Gugeom?
Why would I do that?
I'll ask again.
Did you try to kill Gugeom to get the flag?
Why are you looking at me?
Gugeom said you were a real man.
Tell us the truth.
Who did this to Gugeom?
I've always been proud to be a real man,
but I have nothing to say.
You must tell the truth.
I have nothing to say.
Gugeom.
Our lord's great plan depends on you. You can't die now.
The enemy commander's flag...
I brought it back.
Raise me up.
Sure. Be careful.
I took the enemy flag for my lord.
You didn't bring it back. I did.
Who shot you?
The enemy soldiers.
Those arrows aren't enemy arrows!
The Zhao soldiers have arrows with the 'moon' character written on them.
I have to find out the truth even if it means bloodshed.
Tell us the truth. What are you afraid of?
I am afraid of losing my comrades.
We swore with blood and we fought together.
How can someone in Danbeomhoe shoot me?
But, it was me who got the flag, not Ajikai.
That's the truth.
Gugeom!
Gugeom! Gugeom!
Gugeom!
What are you doing? Prince!
Even if this is all that's left, it's still the enemy commander's flag.
You must keep your promise.
If that's all you have to say, I'm going to see Gugeom.
Prince!
He was like a brother to me for 10 years.
He could die.
He was shot by the enemy. Don't forget that.
You all know it wasn't the enemy who shot him.
So what if that's not true?
Let's say he got the flag first.
The boss has the flag now.
Ajikai!
People kill family members to achieve a great will. Don't you?
I might have shot an arrow at you.
So why is this any different?
You could do anything to achieve a great will,
but you shouldn't lose your cause.
All the people of Buyeo saw. Nobody will accept this.
Is it critical?
He's a strong person.
He'll pull through.
I was very impressed with his loyalty.
He should receive moxa cautery often.
We couldn't have defended the fortresses if it wasn't for you.
It's your merit.
How can a drought in Hanhae be my merit?
How could you do such a thing?
It was to raise Buyeo again.
Is that only possible with no loyalty and with betrayal?
Should Yeogu have the flag? Should I serve him?
You shouldn't have made such a promise if you couldn't do that!
You tried to kill Prince Yeogu and then you shot Gugeom?
Hongran!
Birang!
You can't achieve a great will without faith and loyalty.
Gugeom is right.
It was a mistake to let him live.
Where are you going?
I'm no help here.
I'm uncomfortable with this conversation.
Are you embarrassed of me?
I never gave up hope of raising Buyeo again.
But if it's this shameful and dirty, I don't think the heavens want it.
Dugo!
This is just a burnt piece of cloth.
Our plan to kill the prince using the queen of Goguryeo isn't burnt.
Everything will be settled if the prince dies.
Hurry up.
I don't want my people to be hostile because of Prince Yeogu.
Boss.
I was very impressed with your backbone.
What are you talking about?
Killing a friend who shared life and death.
Not anyone can do that.
You dare ridicule me?
Boss.
I'm sorry if it seemed shameful, but raising Buyeo comes first.
I think I saw you in Gangnam.
I don't think so.
How are they doing?
It's your duty to guide boss.
I'll remember that.
Dugo, I don't want you to turn your back on me.
I don't intend to, but you're ruining boss.
Am I?
You were always ambitious.
Even when you were a worker at a factory and had nothing to eat,
- you said you wanted to study... - Did you say study?
Well, it's true.
Ajikai!
What's his problem?
Hello, I am Ajikai.
Do you know me?
You were a great scholar in Dongjin.
I'm sorry I didn't recognize you.
You should talk to the boss and move.
Do you want me to leave?
What are you talking about?
Then let me be.
I will talk to the boss if I deem it necessary.
I know you don't believe it but I'm grateful to you.
You presented a way to raise Buyeo again.
I have no ill feelings for Gugeom either.
You have no ill feelings, but you'd like him to die.
That's true.
Give me the two fortresses.
You can return to Baekje.
If you don't want that,
you can be my right hand when I raise Buyeo again.
No.
I have my father's will to achieve with these two fortresses.
Oh, well.
This is good for an arrow wound.
I'll wait until he gets better.
We can fight over the two fortresses then.
Sure.
Boss.
Really? He is Ko Heung?
I admired him greatly.
No matter how great a scholar he is,
he's the chief minister of Okjeo Buyeo.
Send him away.
He has King Ye's seal.
Are you kidding?
King Hyeon has that.
I heard the people talk.
I'm sure he has King Ye's seal.
What's the use of having a burnt flag?
With King Ye's seal, you can become a king.
Prince Yeogu must not find out about this.
Use the queen of Goguryeo and do what you have to, just hurry.
I already made arrangements.
VIP guest hall, Yedu, Zhao
How did it go with the emperor?
Just fine.
You lost your position? You have to fight among the common ranks?
So what? I'm still alive.
I can't believe a commander is so attached to his life.
Being alive is important,
then you can take revenge for your humiliation.
That's how I feel.
I'm leaving for Gaeseong right away.
What will you do?
We will leave, too.
You need to stay a little longer.
Annamjanggun.
I have to bid farewell to the emperor and I'd like to get some books.
Jincheng Fortress, Liaoxi
Do you have something to say to me?
Hongran is planning on sending a small gift to the queen of Goguryeo.
Is there anything you'd like to send?
Why would Hongran send a gift?
She saved our lives.
In a way, she helped us defeat the Zhao army.
She's returning to Goguryeo soon.
I'd like to see you before I return to Goguryeo.
I'll be waiting in Yedu.
Tell Hae Geon that the prince is headed to Yedu by himself.
Yes, sir
You must arrive before Prince Yeogu.
He'll rest on the way, but I won't.
The prince did?
He doesn't have Bok Gugeom or Payun.
He won't live.
That's good.
I don't want to kill him with my ax
and I don't want to fight with my followers because of him.
VIP guest hall, Yedu, Zhao
The crown prince will be happy to see such rare books.
Chief minister.
Prince Yeogu is here.
Can you find clothes of a VIP guest hall servant?
Yes, but why...
I think he's looking for someone to communicate with.
Are you sure Yeogu is here?
I saw him tie up his horse and come this way.
- Gather some warriors. - Wait.
He's here!
You only care about Prince Yeogu,
but I'm also responsible for the safety of the queen.
I have to make sure the chief minister doesn't know anything.
It was your idea to use her.
- Get the warriors ready. - Yes, sir.
Just give this to the queen of Goguryeo.
These are such precious jades.
Make sure nobody finds out.
Don't worry.
Only the lady-in-waiting can go inside.
How many guards do we have?
Twenty-five and Annamjanggun has some men.
Have them armed and wait,
but don't let Annamjanggun know.
Yes, sir.
Let me ask you something.
Don't you need Annamjanggun's men, too?
He's a Baekje person. He won't harm the queen.
Put this in front of her room.
Your Majesty, you are worried about Prince Yeogu.
I'll take care of him.
You should be packing. Where have you been?
This is our last day here.
I got some hair bands and accessories.
We didn't come to shop.
I told you to get a gift for the crown prince.
I got something for him, too. Do you want to see what I got?
Let's see how good your eye is.
Oh, this was outside.
It was?
I heard you're returning to Goguryeo.
If you leave, when will I ever see you again?
I will be waiting for you at the tavern, but you should try not to come.
It won't be easy to avoid being seen.
Just know that I came this far to see you.
It's Prince Yeogu, right?
Find me some servant clothes.
Your Highness.
I don't know where Prince Yeogu is.
Someone saw you talking to him.
Did he go to Yedu?
To see the queen of Goguryeo?
I don't know.
That won't tell you where he went.
It's been a day since he left.
Am I supposed to just sit around?
He went to Yedu.
How can the queen of Goguryeo send an embarrassing message like this?
It's not that embarrassing.
You should knock first.
I'm just as worried about the prince as you are.
He just went to see her from a distance.
It's none of our business.
She's the queen of Goguryeo now.
He must not be close to someone of the Wiryegung family.
Wait outside.
What are you doing?
I already read it once.
This is a fake.
What are you talking about?
The message I read didn't ask him to come see her.
Someone sent a fake message.
Who would do that if it wasn't you?
No woman puts a man she loves in danger.
The queen of Goguryeo isn't that ignorant.
It's Hae Geon.
It's Hae Geon's doing.
Hongran!
It's too late to go to Yedu.
It was you, right? You planned this with him.
It wasn't Ajikai.
It was me.
Birang!
Follow me.
Now!
I have to go.
Do you know what that means?
You can't stop me anymore.
If you go, it means you'll abandon me and follow Yeogu.
Will you still go?
Will you cut off our ties and go? Will you disobey me and go to Yeogu?
If you've lost loyalty, friendship and ethics, you've lost everything.
How long would Buyeo last if you raise it after losing everything?
I'm just trying to correct your mistake.
It might be too late, but I have to go.
Birang!
The most important relationship is a parent and a child.
Next is a sibling.
Birang!
Don't. Please don't.
Don't abandon me.
Father, mother,
Hongran is abandoning me, so I will abandon her.
I'm sorry for being such an undutiful son.
Birang!
Go.
Birang.
I am no longer your brother.
You're not my sister.
Boss!
You are no longer a member of Danbeomhoe, so don't call me boss.
Bok Gugeom is coming.
In his condition?
You won't survive if the wound opens up.
I have to go.
You'll just be a burden and get in the way.
Everything you say to him is as cold as ice.
You'll freeze him.
I'm not wrong!
Then take soldiers.
Wi Birang is trying to take Jincheng.
Who will stop him if everyone leaves?
- I'll only take Ttalgae and his men. - Yes, sir.
Let me come with you.
You don't have to be kicked out of Danbeomhoe because of me.
Dugo has to serve the boss and I have to serve you.
Let's go.
Is King Ye's seal all we need now?
Your Highness, you can't go.
You will be sleeping in my place.
Don't open the door no matter what.
Homilgungho and the chief minister are here.
It was too much of a risk to let those bandits go.
You can't go.
Let me go.
Kill me first.
I'd rather die than see you jump into a fire.
The Yeohwa of Wiryegung that you knew is already dead.
Your Highness.
Life was fun at Wiryegung.
It was hard to watch father, but...
The Yeohwa of Amijeon only has one cause,
to live for Baekje and for father.
She barely eats and barely breathes.
Why do you say that?
There is nothing to smile about or cry about.
I will grow old like this and die in Amijeon.
Can't I have one moment for myself?
Is wanting to see his face for one second a sin?
I'm not sure.
Tell the leader it's time to go.
Yes, sir.
Your Highness, forgive me.
If you didn't love Baekje so much...
If the king didn't love you so much, I wouldn't do such a low thing.
Nampyeongyangseong Fortress, Goguryeo
Your Majesty, Ko Noja has driven the Xianbei people to Baegamseong.
He's a great commander indeed.
It's because the chief minister was successful with the alliance with Shihu.
We are in debt to the queen, too.
I will praise their deeds when they return from Yedu.
Your Majesty! Your Majesty!
Your Majesty!
What is it?
It's a message from the chief minister.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Zou Yingbo's 2,000 soldiers were defeated by Prince Yeogu.
Is it bad news?
Have the queen return soon.
Send a message now!
Can't we get some sleep first?
We're not here to have fun.
Come on.
At least let me drink some water.
Wait for me.
Hanseong Palace, Baekje
Are you less mad now?
I will be mad until Yeomin becomes crown prince.
You can't comfort me by putting him in charge of Wiryegung.
Father, it's Yeomin.
He's already sleeping.
Come in the morning.
He's resting. What is it?
Governor Zou Yingbo sent a message.
Is it that urgent?
Yeogu defeated his army of 2,000 and defended the two fortresses.
Call jwapyeong Hae right now.
What will we do?
Calm down.
Where do you think Yeogu's sword will be aiming?
He has a base to return to Hanseong.
He raised soldiers.
The more urgent matter is to deal with the Jin clan.
Who could help you?
We need the Jin clan until Yeomin is taken care of.
The Jin clan will collude with Yeogu. Jin Seung is with him.
I know, but Yeogu is still is Liaoxi and Yeomin is right here.
Yes, he's not family.
We need Yeohwi's help.
The Wisangun generals still follow him.
What did Seung say?
Prince Yeogu defeated Zou Yingbo's 2,000 soldiers
and defended the fortresses.
My nephew did a good job.
It wasn't your nephew. It was Prince Yeogu.
Whoever it was, it's good news. Why do you look worried?
There is going to be a black cloud over the Jin clan.
How can they lose to salt sellers and bandits?
What is Hae Geon doing? Why can't he kill Yeogu?
I'm sorry.
Yeogu will come to Hanseong.
Yeogu will come back...
Yeogu will come back?
What brings you here to a grave keeper's humble home?
You will either live as my brother or die at my hands tonight.
Yeochan.
If you don't want that, kill me.
I came to settle this.
Yeohwa.
Yeogu.

The best chance to kill him is when he's with Yeohwa.
What if Yeohwa is injured?
Do you love her?
He came this far because he loves another woman.
It's not worth cutting off your ties with the boss.
You'll return to Baekje, right?
Kill Prince Yeogu.
Can't it be for us?
What about the queen?
You won't be punished even if she dies.
Yeogu!
They are the king's guards.
Yeohwa!
Your Highness!
