"Free him from his pain." "Take a lock of his hair back to Korea." "Fear not, I will take this to your family." "AD 1375 was first year of King Woo in the Korean dynasty." "Meanwhile in China, Chu Yuan-chang established Ming dynasty - and drove Yuan dynasty north of the Great Wall." "Relations with Korea deteriorated after the murder of a Ming diplomat." "Korea sent out numerous envoys, including Choi, Sohn and Kim, - only to remain out of contact." "When diplomatic relations improved, most people returned home - but some were unable to return..." "Ahn Sung Ki" "Jung Woo Sung" "Joo Jin Mo" "Ziyi Zhang" "Rong Guang Yu" "Lee Doo Il / Park Yong Woo" "Park Jung Hark / Yu Hae Jin" "Jung Suk Yong / Han Young Mok" "Special Performance Song Jae Ho formance Song Jae Ho" "Halt!" "The castle is under construction." "They'll lead us to a guest house." "This hall is larger than I had expected." "This place doesn't look like a lodge." "I will ask." "I am general Choi Jung of Korea's Yongho troops." "Where are your diplomats to greet us?" "You criminals, put down your weapons!" "Koreans murdered our diplomatic envoy." "Now they send their army in the name of diplomatic relations!" "Tie them up!" "Don't panic." "Throw away your weapons." "Anyone who disobeys will feel my sword!" "General Choi!" " General, this is uncalled for." "My duty is to protect the delegation." " General Choi Jung!" "Everyone..." "Listen to them." "General!" "We do not have much further to go." "I acted rashly..." "I'm embarrassed." "Exile is better than suffocating in an underground prison." "Although it is too hot out here." "Greetings." "We are from Korea." "The emperor of Ming has sentenced us to exile." "Are you a general of the Yuan?" "Of the cavalry of Cookoo Temur." "General, don't step forward." "Do not say anything to offend them." "We have nothing against the Korean." "Still, we can't let a single dog of the Ming live!" "The fate of those people is in their own hands." "Let's go!" "I suggest we camp here." "The head envoy has died." "Responsibility now lies in my hands." "If we stay here, the Ming army from Lanzhou will come." "We can tell them about our situation." " You wish to continue towards exile?" "Before being prisoners, we are delegates of our country." "We have no official letter nor a flag." "How can we prove who we are?" "The Ming will treat us as murderers." "General, we have caught horses!" " Two of them." "Yongho troops have no more duty to carry out." "Prepare to leave!" "This is an endless desert." "Where on earth can we go?" "Back to Korea." "Interpreter!" "Come to your senses!" " Let me go!" "We're leaving." "We should look for the missing first." "This trip is too overwhelming for an old man like myself." "I always wished to lay down in my hometown when I die..." "Are you in much pain?" "May we rest?" "No." "Even if we make it to Shandong, we still need a boat." "Too early to worry about that." "Get up, please." "What is it?" "Yeosol!" "Forgive that foolish child." "He is just trying to help me..." "He is the slave of the second ambassador." "The Great Wall leads to where the Ming and the Yuan are at battle." "We cannot risk meeting anyone." "If we head north, we'll inevitably meet the Yuan army." "We should go through the center of the desert." "Impossible!" "It's burning hot during the day." "It'll take 20 days!" "We only have food and water for 6 days." "We'll make it in 10 days." "If necessary, we'll eat once a day and walk through the night." "Whoever stops marching will be executed." "You called for me." "I am in such a wretched state." "I'm so ashamed to be the second ambassador." "Take care of the group." "I bid you a safe trip home..." "Understood." " One last thing..." "This child." "From now on, he is no longer a slave." "Treat him accordingly." "You must be tired." "Please rest." "Take this." "It'll be of use when you need it." "Take it." "You served in many battles with my father." "Are my father and I different?" "Those times were not this difficult." "But I am sure you will do well." "Will we make it safely to Shandong?" "Even if we returned to Korea, they would be laughing at us." "For failing to protect the envoys, and to even set foot in Nanjing..." "It would be best to die." "The second ambassador has vanished." "Stop him and see to the second envoy." "He is dead, sir!" "Bury the body!" "The Yongho troops get the horse." "You may bury his body, but we'll take the horse." "General!" "Good afternoon!" "Please give us food and water." "I can't tell where you are from by your accent." "Should we tell them we are diplomatic envoys from Korea?" "They would not believe us anyway." "If you want to eat, you'll have to pay." "Understood?" "What did he say?" "Low-life!" "One step forward, and we'll cut you!" "Are you from Korea?" "Serve these people food." "I'll pay for it." "Many thanks." "I am general Choi Jung." "My Buddhist name is Jisan." "I'm glad to have company on the way home." "How dare you touch my bow!" "Mongol soldiers!" "How come you have a Mongol sword?" "General!" "We passed through the battlefields." "There were only dead soldiers there." "Are you a Buddhist monk?" " Yes." "Do you know how to hold a service?" " A monk who knows the rituals - may also do that." "Please give me the name of the dead." "All my men were brave warriors." "Just write "The sons of the blue wolf"." "Treat the injured first." "General is here." "My princess." "Are you still refusing food?" "Did you hear them say princess?" ""Save Me!"" "What do you want?" "Who put this filthy corpse here?" "It brings bad luck!" "Did you put it here?" "Get rid of it!" "Don't kill him." "I haven't seen such skill for a long time." "Where are you from?" "One wrong move, and things will get out of hand." "He has the eyes of a lion." "I wish to make him one of my own." "But general, he killed 5 of our men!" " I'll give you 10 horses." "If you insist on this difficult path, I will go with you." "You don't have to do that." " I know the area." "I might be useful." "We are done with the burial." "Shall we leave?" "We'll wait here." "The Yuan army will pass through here." "We will save the princess." "I thought we were headed for Korea." "That was my intention yesterday." "We are foremost diplomatic envoys." "If we help the Ming dynasty, we'll receive a grand welcome in Nanjing." "After that, we'll go home." "It's too risky!" "Please reconsider, sir." " I already did." "Let's try it." "We have to save Yeosol, too." "The Yongho troops and I will attack from the front." "Lieutenant and the rest will take the rear." "Now go!" "They're coming!" "Sergeant Daejung!" "Now's our chance!" "Save the princess!" "I am general Choi Jung, with the Korean envoys." "Get up." "The emperor calls me princess Furong." "You don't look like envoys." "And I always thought that a princess lives in a palace." "I need to get to Nanjing." "If you escort me there safely, the emperor will reward you." "I have saved you." "I am also responsible for your safety." "Are you okay?" "Look here!" "Are you an interpreter?" "I am Park." "I haven't yet entered an official post, but..." "Deliver my words to that man in black!" "Hey!" "The princess wants you to guard the carriage." "The princess wants that boy to escort her, sir." "I will give you a mission." "Guard the princess' carriage." "I am going to visit visit my master's burial grounds." "The man can speak!" "Guard the carriage!" "I am a free man now!" "I will do as I please!" "Stop it, please." " I don't need a slave who has forgotten his place!" "The second ambassador set him free." " He was on the brink of death then." "He who is born a slave shall die a slave." "Stop it!" "Leave this bastard here." "Everyone mount their horses!" " General!" "A girl survived." "The Yuan army slut stays here." "Mercy is the virtue of the higher person." "This isn't your concern." "I make all decisions." "Take everyone with you!" "General is here!" "Your highness!" "We only have this humble food." "I haven't had time to say this..." "Thank you." "Please rest, your highness." "It was the full moon festival." "Solmae was sixteen, I was eighteen." "Every night we met on the hills." "Then Solmae got pregnant." "We got married, and... 5 days later, I was enlisted on this mission." "Was it a boy or a girl?" "She was 8 months pregnant as I left." "She must have given birth by now." "I miss her so much." "Is he feeling any better?" "You should get some sleep." "I'll take care of him." "Sleep will do him good." "Where are you headed?" "To Korea, your highness." "You don't seem to be good with each other." "People, when travelling together a long way, may come across so." "Take good care of him." " I will, your highness." "Don't worry." "Your master was buried in a sunny place." "Do you have a family back home?" "No." "I'm all alone." "Not anymore." "We'll go together." "To Korea." "Chu Yuan-chang will be anxious to find the princess." "We must head north." "Leave me alone with Rambulhwa." "Please do me a favour." "Tell me, your highness." "Chu Yuan-chang has kidnapped my sister." "I want to revenge." "Bring me his princess." "Why did you help me?" "You resent the Ming for sending you to exile." " I don't take it personally." "If you take us to the emperor, we'll resolve this misunderstanding." "What's the name of that person?" "He is a slave." "I asked his name." "They're coming!" "The enemy is after us!" " How near are they?" "They're moving fast." " How many are they?" " Over a hundred, sir." "They'll be here soon." "We must go." "General, what should we do?" "We'll lure them to the carriage." "That's a good idea!" " Who's going to drive the carriage?" "I'll do it, sir." "Someone with no battle experience will drive." "The boy is too young." " It's been decided." "Why is it always a Joojin soldier?" "He hasn't even seen his child yet!" "Someone has to do it." "Take him to the carriage." "We must let believe that the princess is in the carriage." "Wear it." "Please, help me!" " I'm so sorry." "I'll go with you." "Yellow River is behind the mountains." "We'll wait for you there." "You must protect me." "Do not forget that." "Return alive." "Halt!" "We'll walk from here." "Tie the horses together and hide them." "Mongol soldiers!" "The princess is not in the carriage." "There is only one guard." "They must have crossed the mountains, heading for the river." "It'll be impossible to catch them then." "They'll still have to cross the river." "We'll burn the village and the ferry!" "No-one gets across!" "What about him?" "Go and kill him." "It's the Mongol soldiers!" "Danseng!" "Danseng!" "I didn't mean to wake you." "I apologize." "I had a dream." "I was already in the royal palace" "Once we cross the river, I'll escort you to Nanjing." "Daejung told me that you head for Shandong." "I promise to protect you, no matter what." "Will the carriage return?" "It will." "Get some sleep, your highness." "The princess isn't here." " Divide the soldiers and search area." "What about the people?" " They've seen us." "We can't spare them!" "Not a soul at the ferry." " We need to check to be sure." "Why are we stopping?" "Let's go down to the valley first." "Go take a look." "What's going on down there?" "They're hiding near the ferry, killing everyone who tries to get across!" "We'll have to forget about Shandong, as well as Nanjing." "What are they?" " I didn't bring them here." "They followed me from the ferry." " Now the Yuan troops will find us!" "Then we should scare them off!" "Stop it!" "Stop, everyone!" "Didn't you hear?" "I never dreamed of meeting you, your highness." "I have a suggestion." "Let's find a ferry at Balhae Bay." "You mean that we should cross the sea by ferry." "If you plan to go through the Yuan army, go alone." "What if the general still insists on escorting the princess?" "Are you crazy?" "Why do you think we came this far?" "The main problem is that the princess is with us, isn't it?" "Besides, it seems that we have to take those people, too." "We have a good news." "There is a Ming fortress by the sea, 5 days from here." "The princess says if we take us all there, she'll arrange for a boat." "Let's accept her offer." "We'll wait for the carriage, won't we?" " Do you think they'll return?" "Without a boat, we can't go home." "Also, we'll be safe with Ming soldiers." "The Yuan warriors won't give up on the princess." "But it's true that we need a boat." "I'll follow you, general!" "Good thinking." " Get up." "We still have to wait for the carriage." "Danseng is here!" "You came back alive!" "I'm glad you made it back." "We should get a horse for the princess." "She is not the princess of Korea." "Sergeant Daejung!" "Let's carry it." " What the hell for?" "Someone has to do it." "The soles of my feet are parched." " We don't have much time." "I'll carry it." "You stupid wench!" "The Yuan troops are on our heels!" " Sorry." "You're even louder than she is!" "She was only comforting the children." "We have only walked 12 miles today." "Like this, it will take us over 20 days." "Why do we allow those wretched ones to tag along?" "Would you like to try this?" "No." "Old lady, old lady..." "come back!" "She's a demented old woman." "Her son was killed on the ferry." "How can we care for an old one like her at such a time?" " Bring her here." "Who are you?" "Let go of me." "I'll carry her back." "There are 10 of them, on horseback." "Do you think they've found us?" " I'm sure of it." "Let's take the princess and leave." "If we take the others, we'll be caught and executed." " He's right." "We must keep our word." "We'll take everyone with us." "The Yuan cavalry is faster than the wind." "Even a hunter takes care of animals seeking shelter from the rain." "If you plan on leaving those people behind, I'm staying here." "Son of a bitch." "Don't you want to see your mother?" "Even my mother would support me on this." "We should all go together, as far as we can." "The Yuan soldiers are coming, let's go!" "let's go!" "The princess goes first." "Joojin soldiers!" "Order them to carry." "Now!" "This carriage delays us more than the Hans we're dragging." "General, what about the Yuan soldiers?" "We'll leave when you step down." "Who dears say so?" "Step down." "Order them to carry at once!" "Stop!" "The enemy will find the princess because of this carriage." "The Yongho soldiers and I will guard the rear." "No need to go meet the men who are chasing you." "I make the decisions, you just follow my orders." "Let's go!" "Cavalrymen are slow in the forest." "Keep 20 steps distance to the others." "If we're too far apart, we risk being overpowered by the enemy." "Are you scared?" "Then stay here." " I'll go in your place!" "Watch the hill." " Others, let's go." "At my signal, rush at them!" "Do as we agreed." "Okay?" " Danseng, go!" "Lieutenant B yuljang?" "We'll take care of things here." "Go protect the princess." "Look, lieutenant is coming." "Be sure to deliver it." " Please trust my husband, your highness." "They're coming!" "Don't move!" "Don't come near!" "Get your filthy hands off me, you slave!" "You could have killed me!" "I am a princess!" " Stop yelling at me!" "Don't think you can do anything you like just because you're a princess." "Let go of me." "Lieutenant!" " Are you okay?" "Where are the Yongho soldiers?" "Help me up!" "What happened to the enemy?" "Sergeant Daejung led the Joojin troops to annihilate them, sir." "What about the princess?" "She's on her way, sir." "I have rested enough." "We should leave." "It's late, and you must rest some more, sir." "We should leave in the morning, sir." "I told you to get up!" "Leave if you want, sir." "We'll get some sleep first." "I know that you control them." "I let you get away with it before, but I won't tolerate it any longer." "Leave him alone!" "Dochoong, sit down." "You should put down your sword." " How dare you!" "Lieutenant!" "Arrest them at once!" "Now!" "Can't Daejung lead us from now on, until reach the fortress?" "Dochoong!" "You should let sergeant lead us to the clayfortress." "We must leave." " Your highness, did you have a nightmare?" "The clayfortress is not far off." "We should prepare to leave." "But your highness, everyone is asleep." "Even if you become a leader, the situation remains the same." "Is this what you have been waiting for?" "I just want to take us all home." "I know you've taken care of me." "You look cold." ""I'm the princess of the Ming." "Pursued by Yuan troops, - we are headed towards the fortress of Weihai." "Send help!"" "Weihai!" "I vowed never to return without the princess." "We are willing to risk our lives." "We are not afraid of death!" "Mongol soldiers fight to the end!" "Be careful, you are pregnant." "Thank you." " You're welcome." "Where are all the boats?" "What about the Ming army?" "We came here trusting that bitch's words!" " It's not her fault." "Then whose fault is it?" "You were the first one telling us to come here." " Stop it!" "We couldn't have known." " The Yuan soldiers will come soon." "What now?" "We'll leave." "Close the gates!" "Go find something to use as bolts." "Hurry!" "Find a soldier who speaks Korean." "For years, Korea has been a subject of the great Yuan empire." "If you hand over Chu Yuan-chang's daughter, we will let you all live." "Sergeant, we can't defeat them." "The princess is none of our business any longer, is she?" "I am the one they want." "You've already kept your promise." "Do not sacrifice yourselves for me any more." "If you refuse to hand her over, we'll annihilate you all!" "Daejung, you must make a decision." "Please, help us!" "The gates are opening!" "The spear wielding man is still alive..." "That bastard has ruined everything!" "Those who wish to leave may do so." "Those who wish to stay, stay!" "Darling!" "Set up a camp." "We are going to war!" "Sergeant Daejung!" "We found some bamboo." "The coast is safe, so we'll defend the front." "Monk, look after the princess and the elderly." "B yuljang and Dochoong will watch the east, Yeosol and Hail take the west." "Dochoong and I will cover the east." "Sergeant Daejung, what about me?" "You also have something to do!" "How many of us will survive?" "Just stay by my side." "Thank you!" "Never come out, never!" "Otherwise I'll punish you!" "Pull!" "You've made many." "I think they're coming!" "Dochoong!" "Don't shoot before I signal!" "Wait until they are closer!" "Shoot!" "The Yuan soldiers are coming!" "Calm down, everyone!" "Cut the ropes!" "Maintain your post!" "General!" "A messenger arrived!" "Withdraw our men!" "Got an order to retreat!" "We must retreat!" "You shall die!" " Shiao Lee!" "Why did you order to withdraw our men?" "Dig a deep well on the hill." "We nearly defeated them already!" "Cookoo has died." "Right after we left the headquarters." "We'll have a memorial and resume our attack later." "Stop crying." "You win anyway." "The emperor will treat you as loyal Ming subjects and award you." "Award us?" "Who made us come all the way here?" "Both my husband and daughter have died because of you!" "If you leave, we are safe." " We'll all die in vain here." "Lieutenant!" "What are they doing?" "The water channel is blocked!" "Everything will be over by tomorrow." "Cookoo Temur started a lost war." "The dreams of the great Genghis Khan may fade away forever." "We will loose our battle spirit if you keep repeating that." "Let's return to the prairies." "And just leave things like this?" "We'll take the princess with us." "We need hot water." " We don't even have much to drink." "What are all you men doing here!" "Get out!" "Where's he going?" " That nitwit!" " Danseng!" "Go tell the others." " I'll get him." "Be careful!" "A Yuan soldier!" "Enemy is here!" "Two enemies have run off with water." "Where is Danseng?" "He was right behind me..." "Over there!" "Danseng!" "Give that to me." "Danseng, hurry!" "Grab the rope!" "Hurry up!" "Come up, Danseng!" " Wait." "Come back!" "Take this." "Do you want to try that?" "Give me your hand." "No!" "You idiot!" "Stop crying like a bitch!" "Let him cry." "Why did you come here?" "So you could wail for us all when we die?" "Before we do, get me my eye back." "My eyeball!" "You said you would give us a boat!" "Can't a princess give us one boat?" "We struggled all the way here." "Where's the boat?" "What did you do that for?" "Why?" "Hit me again!" "Don't blame the princess." "I made the decisions." "So you'll take the responsibility?" "How will you do it?" "We could send the princess out alone." "Why can't we do that?" "Let go of me, you son of a bitch!" "Someone has to tell the princess about this." "Shut up!" "Sergeant Daejung!" "Let them speak." "General, what are they talking about?" "You are all cowards!" "Maybe we should chop her head off." "You stand back." "If we hang her head outside, they might turn back." "What is Yeosol saying?" "Tell me!" "That you should be sent to the enemy..." " Shut your mouth!" "Should I tell her that he wants her head cut off?" "Do you know how much you hurt her?" "I came here for one person only!" "Never wish for what you cannot get!" "Don't forget you are a slave." "I've heard of a slave named Manjuk." "He said, " ""People are all the same." "Is there a seed with its class written on it?"" "His head was cut off right after that." "I'll cut the hand off whoever aims my neck." "My sword carries no mercy." "Would you like to try?" "We have died as many as we have killed." "Do you want to kill each other, too?" "From now on, whatever happens..." "Do not help me." "It's a boy!" "Bless the child for his life, your highness." "Are you trying to freeze the child to death?" "She doesn't deserve to bless anyone." "Hurry and take the child inside." "Your highness..." "Forgive us." "Bring me a horse." "I am leaving the fortress!" "Wait, your highness." "What have we been fighting for?" "Everyone wishes me to go away." "As princess of the Great Ming, I will end this war with my own hands!" "Your highness, please don't go." "You want me to take my own life here?" "No one moves." "I will go on my own!" "Koreans won't give up on you." "Please trust me!" "How dare you block my path?" "Do not act rashly." "They are coming to us." "Don't go!" "Will you guard the fortress?" "Kill him!" " Wait!" "Let him get his sword!" "Daejung!" "Come up here!" "The palace was suffocating me." "I thought that if I left, I could be free." "I caused all this." "I'm so scared." "I don't think I can bear it any longer." "I am a coward, too." "I was always afraid that people would notice." "I don't deserve to be called a general." "Come here, everyone!" "He looks dead." "Look!" "He's moving!" "He has one hell of a grip on life." "General, what's all this about?" "If they come out to rescue him, we'll enter the fortress with ease." "If they don't..." "that warrior is mine." "Someone has to go get him." "I'll go." " General, if we open the gate doors now, we'll all die." "Right into the enemy's trap." "Should we just watch?" "Let's just kill him with our own hands." "Shall I throw a torch?" "The moon is bright enough." "Sergeant..." "Don't." "You like him too." "Sergeant..." "Do you still consider me general?" "We've been through a lot." "It's a miracle that we've made it this far." "If the soldier tries to live, he dies." "If he attempts to die, he'll survive!" "We must unite." "Even if we must die." "I'm sure they will break the gate doors and enter." "If they do, we will use these!" "We'll protect you, your highness." "Don't you want to be a general of the reat Yuan empire?" "I am a free man." "Kill me." "They've never valued what you are." "To rebuild the Yuan mpire, we need warriors like you." "You resemble my dead father." "Koreans and the Hans look very much alike." "We're like brothers." "This has dragged on too long." "Kill them all!" "Before sunset, we shall head back to the prairie." "Wait!" "Fire, they're setting fire!" "Run!" "General..." "We've failed!" "Sergeant..." "I always wished for an honorable death." "It was my dream." "We must all fight together!" "Take the princess outside the fortress, now!" "So many soldiers have died because of you!" "Yeosol..." "My son..." "Too dangerous." "You can't cross the sea with that boat." "I still have to go." ""Only those on journeys will see the dim roads that lead the way home.""
