"Who's there?" "Is that you, Mooduk?" "Mother." "Jumong..." "I must be dreaming." "This is a dream." "You're not dreaming." "Mother." "I am Jumong." "Jumong..." "Mother." "I knew you wouldn't die in vain." "I knew you wouldn't." "Mother." "Sorry for the trouble I caused." "Forgive me." " What is it?" " Someone broke in." "What?" "Is he dead?" "He's alive but unconscious." "Secure Prince Daeso's chambers." " And look for the intruder." " Yes, sir." "There were rumors that you were alive." "I spread them myself." "Daeso will harm you if he finds out." "Why did you do that?" "I'm sure he already knows I'm alive." "His men are scouring the streets." "He doesn't want me near the Palace." "I know he wants me dead." "The only thing Daeso fears is the public opinion." "The people await my return... so he can't kill me when I do." "I know what you mean but don't let your guard down." "He called the Sachooldo soldiers in to incapacitate the King." "He's gone too far already." "He can and will ignore the public." "He'll try to kill you." "I'll tell the King you're alive and think of a plan." "Don't let Daeso see you before then." "Remember that." "I will." "I think they know." "I should go in." "Don't." "He told us to wait here." "But he might be in trouble." "Shouldn't we help?" "Oi's right." "Go." "Be careful." " Search Lady Yuhwa's chamber." " Yes, sir." "What's this about?" "How dare you barge in like this?" "Move!" " What's the matter?" " We're looking for an intruder." "Search!" "You prick!" "How dare you treat me like this?" "!" "Fine." "I'd rather die than endure this." "Kill me!" "Go on!" "Lead the way." "I must ask Prince Daeso whether he made you do this." "Forgive me." "Let's go!" "Your Highness." "I'm OK." "Nothing happened." "Don't worry." "Commander." "I got worried about you." "I think they know I'm here." " We should go." " OK." "Let us go." "There's no reason for us to fight." "We once fought side by side." "We shared the same fate." "We joined the Commander to fight against the Han." "Why should we turn against each other?" "Let us go." "Even if you try to kill me..." "I can't kill you." "Commander." "Commander." "I might be on the run at the moment... but I will return one day." "Hey, Mari." " Commander." " Are you OK?" "Let's get out of here." "It wasn't a ghost." "It's Prince Jumong for sure." "Yeah." "Oi, Mari and Hyupbo can't all be ghosts." "Shouldn't we tell Prince Youngpo?" "Forget it." "Why should I when he's ignoring me?" "Handang." "Yes, sir." "Follow them and find out where they're staying." "Why... me?" "Hurry up." "Now." "How did it go?" "There was an intruder but we lost him." "Was it Jumong?" "It was." "Why do you think he snuck in?" "I'm sure it was to see Lady Yuhwa or the King." "We checked both their chambers but we found nothing strange." "Your Majesty." "It's me, Yuhwa." "Come in." "What brings you here so late at night?" "Your Majesty." "Jumong is alive." "Are you... sure?" "I am." "He came to see me." "Prince Daeso knows and is trying to kill him." "Hey, hey, you." "What are you doing here?" "Sir." "Sir?" "Don't "sir" me." " Why that...!" " Musong!" " Musong." " Musong." "Musong." "I've been looking everywhere for you." "We used to practice here so I came here just in case." "Why are you here?" "Yeomieul sent me." "Have a sip." "I'm fine." "You?" " We're fine." " OK then." "Yeomieul says you should leave instead of going into the Palace." "Leave Puyo?" "And go where?" "How should I know?" "Anyway, she says you'll be in grave danger if you return." "Whatever danger that is..." "I can't leave now." "(Keru)" "We got kicked out of Puyo." "I know how that feels." "Right." "You've been through it too." "However long, journeys never tired me." "But it's different now." "It must be your spirit and not your body." "You're right." "I know I have a lot to worry about... but I want to rest first." "I became chief of Keru when I was just 20." "As you know, our land is barren." "Our people were starving." "To feed them, I turned to business... and have been pressing on, risking my life every single day." "It was a very long journey." "Now, I want to let everything go." "Sosuhno." "Yes, Father." "As of today... you're chief of Keru." "Father." "I don't deserve this." "I'm the reason we're all in this mess." "I don't have the experience or the wisdom to get us out of it." "I know you're tired but I need you to lead Keru." "Overcome the crisis you brought upon us." "I, as well as Wootae and Sayong, will help you." "Go for it." "Yuntabal." "Sosuhno can't lead Keru." "Our relationship with Puyo turned sour and Songyang has his eyes on Keru." "How can a woman lead a tribe?" "Please take it back." "I've made up my mind." "Don't bring it up again." "This is unacceptable." "How can she be chief when she's the one who ruined us?" "I won't go down without a fight." "But we can't go against Lord Yuntabal." "(Yuncheryung, Yuntabal's sister) Why not?" "I'll side with Songyang if need be." "Sosuhno will be the death of us all." "(Yangtak, Keru's temporary leader) Even then..." "Side with Songyang?" "Will you let Sosuhno take all you have?" "For as long as she's chief, you'll have nothing to your name." "My Lady." "Mopalmo." "I heard you're our chief now." "Congratulations." "I'm not sure if it's a good thing." "I'm sure you'll do well." "So..." "Have you met Prince Jumong?" "What do you mean?" "Meet..." "Prince Jumong?" "You didn't know?" "He's alive." "Yeomieul." "Your fates have crossed." "What's the use of being in despair?" "What have I done to deserve such a punishment?" "I've done something horrible to Prince Jumong and Wootae." "What should I do now?" "What should I do?" "Think of it all as the will of the gods." "It's fate, unbearable, yet inescapable." "You're drunk." "Stop drinking." "I'm trying to get drunk but I can't." "Sayong." "Yes?" "Do you know how I feel?" "I might look messed up but I know what it's like to love someone." "What hurts is that there's nothing I can do." "The woman I've loved forever is in so much pain... yet there's nothing I can do." "So Jumong slipped out after all?" "Yes." "He's more than I bargained for." "Don't get worked up." "Why worry about nothing when Prince Daeso runs the Palace?" "Uncle Won's right, Mother." "I was worried at first but I realized I shouldn't be." "I won't let go of what I have, even if Jumong returns to the Palace." "I'm just worried about his fate." "Nothing has worked out ever since he came back." "I'll never sleep well at night... unless I'm sure he's over and done with." "Commander." "Songju brought a letter from the King." "Commander." "Long time no see." "His Majesty told me to give this to you." " Your Royal Highness." " What is it?" "The King has summoned a meeting." "A meeting?" "Prime Minister." "His Majesty has summoned a meeting." "What should we do?" "Prince Daeso is his representative." "Whose order should we obey?" "Isn't it obvious?" "We pledged our allegiance to Prince Daeso." "We should obey his orders." " Obey the King's order." " Prime Minister." "Prince Daeso is his representative but His Majesty is still King." "I know my illness has caused much unrest." "I apologize for everything." "Your Majesty." "His Royal Highness is governing well." "Rest your worries and focus on recovering." "So, how is everything?" "Fine, Your Majesty." "I still have a long way to go but I'm doing my best." "Rumor has it that Jumong is alive." "Are any of you aware of that?" "Your Majesty." "I heard the rumor and looked into it but it was a false alarm." "I wish it were true, but then shouldn't he have returned by now?" "Could someone be trying to stop him?" "Your Majesty." "Jumong was our Commander, the one who led us to victory." "Wouldn't everyone greet him if he came back alive?" "I will punish whoever tries to stop Jumong from returning." "Very well." "I have confirmed... that Jumong is alive." "Are you there, Songju?" "Bring Jumong to me." "I will, Your Majesty." "It's an honor to see you again." "Thank you, Commander." "We should go." "Your Majesty." "I have failed to complete the duties you entrusted me with." "Forgive me for failing to lead your men to victory." "You're forgiven... because you came back alive." "Your Highness." "There's no need to worry about Prince Jumong anymore." "The light shines upon Prince Daeso only." "We can't even see Prince Jumong." "That's right." "Prince Jumong isn't even showing up." "Perhaps he doesn't want to return." "We can't even feel his energy." "You make me feel so much better." "Your Highness!" "What is it?" "Prince Jumong is back." "He's with His Majesty and the ministers right now." "What?" "I'd rather leave the Shrine." "This is killing me." "Father." "Forgive me for not protecting you." "Like I said, all is forgiven because you came back alive." "Thank you for coming back." "How dare Daeso represent you when you're alive and well?" "I won't forgive him for this." "Jumong." "Yes, Your Majesty." "Listen to what I have to say." "Daeso has cornered us." "He can kill us just like that." "Lie low and wait for the right time." "Your priority should be in preserving your life." "Lie low and wait for the right time." "Your priority should be in preserving your life." "Hello." "What have you done?" "I told you to stop him from meeting the King." "Forgive me." "The devious prick." "He knew you wouldn't be able to harm him once the people know of his return." "What will you do now?" "Jumong will help the King fight back." "You must kill Jumong before he makes his move." "Jumong." "How have you been?" "I have something to say." "Go on." "Not here." "Doesn't the King look distressed?" "Just thinking about him is enough to break my heart." "I know Daeso thirsts for power but how could he do such a thing?" "He says he'll reign in peace but he's a tyrant, the worst there is." "Jumong." "Only you can stop him." "If you will take action, I'll help." "Why are you so quiet?" "Say something." "Youngpo." "I barely made it back alive." "What power do I have?" "Puyo is stable now, thanks to Daeso." "Do you mean that?" "The King is still weak." "Politics will only weaken him more." "I'm not against Daeso acting as his representative." "Jumong!" "You should think of a way to help Daeso too." "Your Royal Highness." "Prince Jumong is here." " Let him in." " OK." "Welcome." "I thought you were dead." "I'm so glad you're safe." "Forgive me for worrying you." "You must be very busy." "Tell me if there's anything you want me to do." "I'll do my best to help." "Did you just say you'll help me?" "Yes." "And who will believe that?" "We did turn against each other... but I know well enough to know where I stand." "You have control over everything." "Why would I dare turn against you now?" "You stabilized our nation while the King was ill." "Everything's back to normal." "I don't want to turn against you and disrupt the people." "Please believe me." "Welcome." "This is my mother." "My name is Yesoya." "Her father, the Hanbek chief, saved my life." "If it weren't for her, I wouldn't be here now." "Thank you." "His Highness saved my life." "I'm the one who is indebted to him." "Have a seat." "I need you to take care of Yesoya." "She lost everything, including her father in a rebellion." "You've been through a lot." "No one can understand unless they experience it." "The same thing happened to her too." "Cheer up." "You'll be able to avenge those who hurt you one day." "Have you heard about Sosuhno?" "Yes." "I know how you feel but you were as good as dead." "She had no choice because Daeso threatened her." "I'm sure she's just as sad as you are." "I too hoped you would marry her... but your fates have crossed." "You should let her go." "Do you believe him?" "I don't, but what can I do when I can't find fault with him?" "Even the people like him." "Killing him now will backfire." "Your Royal Highness." "Power doesn't come easy." "Let your feelings get in the way and you will live to regret it." "I'll be on the lookout." "Don't worry." "It's time to go." "We'll leave in secret." "Get ready." "Are you going to see Lady Sosuhno?" "Well..." "Commander." "It won't do you any good." "Let it go." "We'll be ready." "It might be over but he needs to say goodbye." "You guys wouldn't know." " Yeah, we don't." " Hey, Oi." "Do you still miss Buyoung?" "I bet she's married with a few kids already." " Don't you think, Mari?" " Yeah, you're right." "Dang." "If you will help me..." "I will kick Yuntabal out and become Lord of Jolbon." "If that happens..." "Jolbon will be on your side, as you wish." "What do you want me to do?" "Keru is armed with your steel swords." "(Songyang, Piryu chief) We need steel swords to attack Keru." "Very well." "Wangsomoon." "Yes, Governor." "Give him the steel swords he needs." "I will." "Ma'am." "Chansoo is waiting for you." "Did he come alone?" "Yes." "Let's go." "I'm Yuncheryung." "Chansoo, pay your respects to the chief." "My name is Chansoo." "Have a seat." "What did you want to see me about?" "I heard there will be an assembly soon." "That's right." "We'll force Lord Yuntabal to resign." "If you're here to ask for my sympathy, you'd better leave." "Not at all." "My brother should be held responsible." "I'm here to make a deal." "A deal?" "Even if Yuntabal resigns, Keru will still confront you... for as long as Sosuhno is the chief." "So?" "Keru's chief should be one who will do as you say." "Help my son Chansoo become the new chief." "Are you willing to do anything I want you to?" "I'm at your service." "Welcome." ""No"" "We have all agreed to strip you of your title and authority." "As the Lord, you can veto." "But if you do, we'll accept it as a declaration of war... against Piryu, Hwanna, Kwanna and Yunna." "You can veto if you want a war." "We've already decided to appoint Songyang our new Lord." "Only then will we be safe from Puyo and the Han." "Tell us what you want now." "Will you accept or go to war?" "I will do as you say." "What happened?" "Lord Yuntabal has resigned." "That's nonsense." "Why did you?" "Aren't you going to put up a fight?" "My Lord." "We have steel swords." "We can fight them and win." "Songyang has Daeso and Yangjung covering his back." "You must only fight when you can win." "If a civil war breaks out, the people will suffer the most." "I will not go to war." "Sosuhno." "Your father made this decision because of our circumstances." "Let's do as he says." "We'll get another chance if we wait." "This is all my fault." "I brought this upon us." "Sosuhno." "What's wrong?" "Sosuhno." "How is she?" "All this stress seems to have broken her spirit." "So, did you bring it?" "This is it." "So this is the steel sword Mopalmo made?" "That's right." "Good." "How did it go?" "I gave it to him." "We'll be in trouble if the others find out." "You as well as Chansoo must be especially careful." "Got it." "Sleeping again?" "Hey, Musong." "Musong!" "It was such a great dream." "Did you have to wake me?" "Go to Puyo if you miss her that much." "Go and see Mooduk." "You think I don't want to?" "I'm here because I have to protect you." "You're protecting me in your sleep?" "Who's there?" "Drop your sword." "Take him away." "My Lady, this is Sayong." "Come in." "What is it?" "Prince Jumong is here." "I'm glad we meet again." "Forgive me for causing you concern." "I heard Daeso put you through a lot." "This is all my fault." "That's not your fault." "I brought it upon myself." "I feel sorry for what you're going through." "Come inside." "That's OK." "I'm here to ask you and Lady Sosuhno for forgiveness." "Sosuhno." "Prince Jumong is here." "Go and see him." "I won't." "I don't care for him now." "How is your wound?" "Fine, thanks." "I know your heart aches much more than your body." "But you can't change your fate." "You must leave Puyo." "If you don't, you will meet your end." "Soryung is right." "You must leave immediately." "But I can't leave the King and my mother like this." "Prince Daeso is in control but he can't harm them... for fear of the people and ministers." "If you stay in Puyo..." "Prince Daeso's energy will stop you from spreading your wings." "There is a bigger world outside Puyo." "You must go and realize your dream." "Commander!" "Commander." "We have a problem." "What is it?" "Songyang kidnapped Mopalmo and Musong."
