Episode 44.
Let's go.
There are about 50 soldiers to guard them, and garrisons altogether guarding the migrants.
There are about 10 soldiers who could join us.
I'll make sure the 10 soldiers will not change their minds.
Be very careful that no one finds out what we are planning to do.
Yes.
Oh-yi, I heard man-ho is here.
Find out where he is.
Yes.
There are too many children and women who will slow us down.
We need to gain some more time, so find a way to do so.
- Yes. - Yes.
Your highness, man-ho is very ill.
What are you saying? Why is he ill?
He tried to escape and was injured.
Where is he?
This way.
Please leave us alone.
Uncle.
Do you recognize me?
Your highness.
I wanted to see you before I died.
It's very fortunate that I can see you now.
You're not going to die.
We will save you,
and we'll all get out of buyeo together.
Your highness.
Say it.
At least I fought against the han nation with you. Otherwise my death would be in vain.
Forgive me that I resented you. I didn't know your plan.
I'm the one to ask for forgiveness.
I didn't succeed at the war and the refugees got in this difficult situation.
But never again. I won't make that same mistake.
With the refugees, we will make a da-mul army.
So get strong and get better. I need your help.
I can see hae mo-su in you.
Pray to get back our lost land.
I pray for success for the da-mul army.
Uncle...
Man-ho!
Uncle! Uncle!
Uncle!
Man-ho!
You must stop or you will faint again.
How did it go?
I tried to get rid of the 3-legged bird spirit, but I failed.
Then what do you have to do?
The 3-legged bird is the symbol of prince ju-mong.
We must get rid of him.
If you don't get rid of ju-mong, and the 3-legged bird flies, that would be a disaster for dae-so's future.
His royal highness dae-so's life can end by way of the 3-legged bird spirit.
Your majesty, tell dae-so all about this matter.
It would be too much burden to keep it to yourself.
I know that, but dae-so trusts ju-mong completely.
Ju-mong saved his life. How could he not trust him?
But your majesty, we shouldn't disregard what the high priestess said.
Mother.
I'm ready to go.
Get ready to leave.
Ju-mong.
I can't go.
I am going to stay and make sure the his majesty is safe.
He took care of us and saved us.
This is my last favor to him.
Mother, if you stay here,
you may never see me again.
I know that.
But if I leave, his majesty would be in a pitiful state.
Your highness.
Are you worried about something?
You look agitated.
No.
We have only a few days before we leave buyeo.
Before we leave, you must do a few things.
Say it.
First, pick out the skilled workers to come with you.
To fight against the han nation, we need to make a lot of weapons.
We need to set up the ironware workshop for the da-mul army.
I know what you mean.
I'll pick the best workers who can set up a weapons factory.
Mu-song.
After oh-yi, ma-ri, hyeop-Bo, and I leave bu-yeo,
your job is to bring ye soya and mo pal-mo safely to us.
Can you do it?
Don't worry.
How about lady yoo-hwa?
What?
You can't go?
Why not?
Lady yoo-hwa won't go. She wants to take care of his majesty.
I have to stay because she's staying.
If dae-so finds out ju-mong took all the refugees, he won't leave her alone.
He'll kill lady yoo-hwa and you, too.
You must come with me.
I can't.
Dae-so can't hurt lady yoo-hwa. His majesty will protect her.
I can't believe this.
I live for you,
and you want me to go without you?
I can't do that.
Mu-deuk!
It's impossible.
You were following me?
What's the reason?
Who gave you the order?
If you don't tell me,
I'll cut your neck.
Your highness, please come outside.
What inappropriate behavior to put a sword on my guard's neck.
Is it appropriate to have him secretly following me?
I need to know the reason why you gave him this order.
You are spying on buyeo through him?
What?
You are dae-so's wife, but to me you are han citizen.
If he follows me again,
I'll treat him as a spy and kill him.
I'm sorry.
Get up.
Continue to watch ju-mong.
If I'm humiliated like this again,
I'll cut your neck.
I understand.
Yang sul-LAN is watching me secretly.
She might also be watching you, so be careful.
Yes.
As soon as we leave buyeo, we'll move south and then change direction as soon as we cross the border.
Is this the place we change direction?
I'm sure dae-so asked Yang-jeong to help him to extradite the refugees.
To deceive dae-so, we must pass biryu,
and then change direction.
Then we'll change to go west at the point between biryu and hyeon-to city.
The road is very rough and there are many side roads.
If they chase us, it won't be easy to catch us.
After that, where do we go?
We'll settle in mt. Bon-gye.
You go to mt. Bon-gye and find a good place to settle.
- Yes. - Yes.
Dae-so,
have you heard of the 3-legged bird?
A long time ago, there was a bird that was in the sun and disappeared.
Yes.
Yeo mi-eul said it would harm buyeo.
It signified hae mo-s...
Hae mo-su is dead.
Yes, but priestess ma oo-ryeong said it appeared again.
She said that the 3-legged bird's energy is covering buyeo.
Hae mo-su isn't here. Who do you think it symbolizes now?
It's ju-mong.
Dae-so, it could be a sign that ju-mong is planning something.
Mother, do you believe the words of the priestesses?
The priestesses, ma oo-ryeong, and her people aren't very good.
They don't have the foresight like yeo mi-eul.
I know she's not as good but after all, she is still a priestess.
You shouldn't disregard her words.
Mother, ju-mong is a loyal servant to me.
Don't trust ju-mong too much.
If he's my enemy, why would he save me when young-po tried to kill me?
Maybe because he didn't want so seo-no and gyehru to be in danger.
I know that, too. But he sacrificed his chance to take over buyeo.
After that, how could I not trust him?
Still it's the priestess' words. Don't relax.
Yes.
Your highness, ye soya is here.
Let her in.
Sit down.
Did ju-mong tell you he's leaving buyeo?
Yes.
I called you to ask you a favor.
Please ask.
I'll stay here and take care of his majesty.
After you leave, we may never see each other again.
Your highness, how can I leave without you?
I already talked with ju-mong about this, so it's final.
What I'm going to tell you, you must know why ju-mong has to leave buyeo.
He's leaving not only to save the refugees,
but also to make a new country.
I'm sure you can imagine how difficult it will be for him.
But, that is his fate.
To set up a new country, recover old joseon's glory, and take back the land is his great plan.
Your fate is to help ju-mong to succeed.
You are to not just remain a man's wife,
but to become the mother of the country.
Do you understand?
Yes.
Can I ask you the meaning of the flag you sent to me before the war with the han nation?
When I first saw the 3-legged bird, it was 20 years ago in buyeo palace.
Then the 3-legged bird symbolized hae mo-su, the leader of the da-mul army
hae mo-su died, but the 3-legged bird didn't leave my vision.
That means the 3-legged bird continued from hae mo-su to his son…you.
When you had war with the han nation, that was a continuity of hae mo-su's dream.
Your highness, there are more important meanings to the 3-legged bird.
The 3-legged bird can't exist in buyeo.
Get out of buyeo's sun and fly into a bigger country.
Then, the 3-legged bird will nest and make a home.
That means you will make a new country.
That will be the 3-legged bird's country.
Is ju-mong in?
Come in, please.
What brings you here?
I was passing by.
Are you ready to extradite the refugees?
Yes, whenever you give the order.
Ju-mong.
Yes.
Do you visit his majesty often?
I see him once in a while, but he isn't very happy with me.
I could guess that.
He doesn't like that you're helping me.
It's about time that the sick king decides to transfer the throne to you.
Do you really think that should be done?
Yes, your royal highness.
I believe we shouldn't have a bloody storm again in our palace.
For the peace of the palace and the people, his majesty should transfer the throne.
Thank you.
Ju-mong.
I think I'm giving you too much work.
I can have na-ru to extradite the refugees so you can stay here and help me with more important matters.
I can do that after I return from Chang'an.
No, there is no reason for you to do such trivial work.
Do as I say.
Yes, I will.
Your majesty, you are normal now.
You now can live a normal life, but still don't overdo it.
Well done.
Your majesty, it's ju-mong.
Come in.
How is your health?
He said I'm well.
We are very fortunate.
Yes, are you ready to take the refugees?
Your majesty, dae-so changed the plan and gave me a different job.
I don't understand why he suddenly changed the assignment.
I worry that perhaps he found out my intention.
If he found that out, it would be a big problem.
Your plan is obsolete now, so find another way to save them.
Over there seems like a good spot.
A few hundred can set up living quarters.
The river is nearby, also.
Is that our new home?
Let's go back and tell ju-mong.
Your highness.
Did you find the spot?
Yes, it's in the middle of mt. Bon-gye. It's a good spot.
It's hidden from the road.
Your highness, when are you leaving?
I have a problem.
A problem?
Dae-so changed the assignment. Na-ru will extradite the refugees.
You could have insisted.
If I did, he would doubt me.
Perhaps he found out your intention?
If he did, he wouldn't have left me alone.
Until we think of a new plan, you three be careful.
Yes.
Chang'an.
Try to have a better attitude.
If you think of yourself as a hostage, you'll be upset.
Try to think of it as a pleasant journey.
I arranged everything, so you can stay here comfortably.
If you have a problem, contact me immediately.
Ma-Jin.
While you are here, ma-Jin will help you.
My name is tae ma-Jin.
This is your quarters.
This is the prince you are going to serve. Greet him.
These are your servants.
The han girls are all this ugly?
I'm already upset, and looking at them makes it worse.
I'll get some prettier girls and bring them to you.
Get out.
You said your name is ma-Jin?
Yes, your highness.
How long do you think I will be here?
You are not a hostage.
I know many powerful people.
If you get to know them, the time you're here will be very beneficial to you.
Beneficial?
You're right. I want to get back to buyeo as soon as possible and forget this humiliation.
Whoever you want me to meet, I will agree.
Make the arrangements.
Gyehru
song-yang's purpose of doing this is to merge with gyehru.
Just because we cannot supply all he wants, he can't take us by force.
Song-Yang is targeting you.
Miss, it's sa-young.
Come in.
Did you find a way?
We never will get all they ask.
Then, you must step down as chief.
You found a way?
Because we set up the salt supply from go-San nation, buyeo has no salt problem.
Make a deal with buyeo with go-San nation's salt.
Bae-mang is the one who supplies salt to buyeo.
You are right. I need to see him as soon as possible.
You go there and bring him to gyehru.
I will.
Chief.
What is it?
So seo-no wants to see you.
Send her in.
Are you gathering all the goods we want?
I'm here for that matter.
Say it.
We'll prepare everything and take it to buyeo directly,
so please don't worry.
If you can't make it, our country jolbon will be hurt badly.
If I don't make it, I'll step down as chief.
Fine,
then you take the goods to buyeo directly.
I'll see if you can do it.
I'm going.
She's so sure,
they must have found a way to do it.
I know them very well.
She won't succeed.
Welcome, general bae-mang.
Long time, no see!
Your crew, are they all well?
Thanks to chief so seo-no, we are fine.
Why did you want to see me?
The chief is waiting.
Please come in.
Why did she want to see him?
Through his help, she wants to cut off the salt supply to buyeo.
What if that doesn't succeed?
Don't worry.
You want me to fight with buyeo?
I'm not asking you to fight buyeo.
With the correct strategy, you'll make a bundle.
We are in great danger.
We need your help to get out of this dangerous situation.
Please help.
Yes.
Without you, I would not be here.
I'll do everything to help you.
What should I do?
That's enough.
Leave me alone. I can't stand this situation.
Yah... think of prince ju-mong…how badly he feels leaving his mother here.
You should not do this.
Look,
I'll stay here in buyeo, so you go alone.
Wake up. You can't make a decision because of a girl!
Captain.
Oo-tae, why are you in buyeo?
I need to see prince ju-mong.
Please see to it.
Your highness,
oo-tae is here to see you.
Are you well?
It's been a while.
Chief so seo-no and her father are well?
Yes.
What brings you to buyeo?
I must tell you something and get permission from you.
So seo-no wants to resolve gyehru's urgent situation using go-San nation's salt.
So we need your permission.
Get permission from me?
If she thinks that's best, then she should do it.
The reason that buyeo could have a steady salt supply was because of you and so seo-no.
We can't do this without your permission.
I wish I could help you, but I can't.
Because of chief so seo-no's wish, we could get go-San nation's salt.
Do as she wishes.
- Thank you. - It would be a great help to gyehru.
Go-San nation…
Salt...
They will take the refugees soon, but we have no plan.
Maybe dae-so found out our plan.
I don't think so.
As long as dae-so holds ju-mong down here,
it's impossible to save the refugees.
Your majesty, it's ju-mong.
Come in.
Your majesty.
Did you find a way?
I must get the military to save the refugees.
You don't have a military that can help..
Dae-so put you in charge of the military, but still he's watching your every move.
You can't do anything.
I have an excuse to move the military.
What is it?
The journey must have been difficult.
I am fine, but mother had a hard time.
I understand.
So seo-no did this to give her a hard time.
How's it going with biryu?
While you were gone,
song-Yang continued to pressure so seo-no.
It won't take long.
Soon you will hear good news.
That's the only wish I have.
I can't be pressured by so seo-no any longer.
How did it go?
Prince ju-mong agreed.
You can do everything that you'd like.
Tell general bae-mang to proceed right away.
Yes.
Their swordsmanship is extraordinary.
Even with that special talent they have, they still need god to watch over them.
What do you think about our gyehru's future?
God watches over gyehru?
Before god interferes, so seo-no will keep it safe.
Do you think so seo-no will do well?
So seo-no won't be satisfied with just keeping gyehru safe.
Much later she will build a much better country.
It's my time to leave gyehru.
Leave?
Where will you go?
The 3-legged bird, who is leaving buyeo, will nest somewhere.
Did you call me?
I have a favor to ask.
Please ask.
Lady yoo-hwa is ill.
She took care of me day and night when I was ill.
She's overly tired.
I'm sorry I didn't pay attention.
I'll do my best to help her get better.
The doctor said the hot spring will be a good place for treatment.
I'd like to go there with lady yoo-hwa.
You said you'd like to go there?
She got ill because of me, so I'd like to take care of her now.
They're going on a journey?
Yes, they're going to a hot spring.
Lady yoo-hwa can go alone.
Does he have to go along?
Don't let him go.
Mother, it's for her illness.
You never know what they are thinking of.
She's right.
What do you mean?
It could be he wanted to meet with people outside the palace.
When people see him in health, they won't think you need to remain in charge.
Don't let his majesty contact the people.
Did you find out?
I asked his majesty's doctor, and he said lady yoo-hwa is ill.
Your royal highness, we are ready to extradite the refugees.
Give me the order.
We need to postpone it.
As you wished,
I put together the travel group.
Thank you.
Na-ru and his soldiers will keep you safe.
We can just go quietly and without all the guards.
But you never know what will happen outside the palace.
Enemies won't be able to get close to you.
You don't need to worry about anything.
Na-ru and all the special swordsmen will go with his majesty.
It's going the way you wished.
Still, we have more to do.
Check if all is ready.
Yes.
Mother.
Soon you will do what you were born for. Why do you look so gloomy?
Please be healthy.
From this moment, forget about me.
If you worry about me, stay here.
Otherwise, I will always be a burden.
When you leave buyeo, don't even look back.
Forget about everything in buyeo…
Me... his majesty...
Only think of your destiny.
That's the last thing you can do for me to be a good son.
Mother.
Please get better and come back safely.
Forgive me that I can't go with you.
Don't worry about her. I'll take good care of her.
Father.
Please stay healthy.
I'm sorry I'm not going with you.
Come back with more health.
Thank you.
Come back in a healthier state.
Make sure they are comfortable.
Yes, your royal highness.
Leave.
Let's go.
My lady.
It's time to leave.
I am ready.
You two bring ye soya and come to mt. Bon-gye.
Yes.
Why do you look depressed?
Anything happen?
Mu-song,
you want to stay here?
No, I'll follow you.
Then, do what you've been assigned.
Yes.
Why do they gather so often?
I couldn't hear anything.
Don't you need to inform his royal highness?
He trusts ju-mong like his own hand.
We must have clear, sure evidence.
You keep watching then.
Yes, your highness.
My lady,
I must leave first, then you come with mo pal-mo to mt. Bon-gye.
I understand.
It will be a rough journey.
A rough journey is no problem.
But, thinking about how you would feel leaving your mother here is harder.
After you succeed with your plans, you can bring your mother.
Don't worry too much.
Thank you for trusting me.
- Go ahead and do it that way. - Your royl highness! - Yes, your royal highness...
Your royal highness! We have a big problem.
What is it?
The salt transport coming from go-San nation to buyeo was robbed.
Did you call me?
The salt transport was robbed.
You know very well what will happen if we don't bring that salt.
You know the route.
Take the military immediately to get the salt back.
Yes, your royal highness.
We'll go to the refugee camp.
Yes.
What brings you here?
Instead of na-ru, I will be the one to extradite the refugees.
Bring them all out here.
Dae-so didn't send any instructions about that.
You idiot!
You aren't going to take my word?
It's not that. Please wait awhile because I must verify it first.
Bring the refugees right away.
We'll take them to the han nation.
The news of us taking away the migrants...
Will reach the buyeo palace
it will take one day...
Or half a day to reach there
scoundrels! Mobilise the soldiers immediately
I'll lead the soldiers myself to go after them
flee as far as you can
who are you meeting outside the palace?
Are you already aware...
Of jumong's plan...
To take away the migrants?
One day...
Keru...
Will end up on the same route as jumong
whatever happened in the palace...
While you were away
I'm sure you know it very well
jumong...
Has taken away all the migrants...
Who are to be sent to han as slaves
we didn't take lady along with us
I'll then kill him in front of father
we'll wait and see
