"You may enter." "Your Highness." "Come outside." "Let me have a word with him." "Make it quick." "You must look after yourself." "The Queen pleads you do so." "Please eat." "I'm fine." "You're dismissed." "Your Royal Highness." "Tell my mother not to worry about me." "Jumong has returned to the Palace." "Jumong?" "What's he doing here?" "The King sent the General to bring him back." "Your Highness." "Please calm down." "Your Highness..." "Is anyone there?" "I need to talk to the King." "Let me out." "I can't." "I said let me out!" "Now!" "Forgive me." "I can't without the King's permission." "How long do you think I'll be behind bars?" "Open up right now or I'll kill you!" "Let me out!" "Forgive me." "Let's go." "I'm talking to you!" "Open the door!" "Let me out!" "Let me out now!" "Did you talk to Daeso?" "Yes." "What did he say?" "What did he say when you told him Jumong's back?" "He'd be mad." "There's no doubt about it." "You're right." "No news from Youngpo?" "Not yet, Your Highness." "One son's in prison... the other is missing... yet the enemy of our nation is receiving a hero's welcome." "How..." "How can this be possible?" "What is the world coming to?" "Your Highness..." "Here you go." "Thank you." "I've heard of the Damul Army's prowess." "You took overJoongsan's iron mine." "Even Haemosu and I couldn't do that." "The Han will try to get back at you for taking over their iron supply." "What will you do?" "Yangjung can't afford to attack us now." "He needs the Yodong army but they're too far away." "I can train the Damul Army and defend Joongsan." "They might have high spirits but they're only a few hundred." "What difference will it make?" "But the Han army is different." "They might be far away but there are thousands of them." "You don't stand a chance against thousands of better-trained men." "Jumong." "Yes?" "This is reality." "Why don't you disband your men and return to Puyo?" "You asked for me?" "Have a seat." "Chief General." "I'm listening." "The King will tellJumong to disband his men and return to Puyo." "It would be great if he does so... but if he doesn't..." "You must eliminate him." "Eliminate?" "As in kill him?" "That's right." "Prime Minister." "I'm sure the King supports Prince Jumong." "Are you sure this is what the King wants?" "If we let the Damul Army be, they'll become a stumbling block." "They are the Han's sworn enemy." "We'll have to face the Han for as long as they're around." "We will fight the Han one day but we can't afford to now." "The King has only started to turn things around." "We can't let the Damul Army ruin everything we stand for." "I know you think highly of Jumong." "But you're the King's subject." "You must take a stand." "The Damul Army depends on me." "How can I desert them?" "Jumong." "I once thought you were destined to seek a new home with the migrants." "I had nothing to give you back then." "But things have changed." "I will give you everything." "What Daeso did was nothing compared to what Kumwa can do." "Yeomieul." "What's wrong?" "Something's not right." "I'm worried about the Commander too." "Yeomieul's the one who's in danger." "What do you mean?" "Is someone trying to harm her?" "The shadow of death surrounds her." "Did you meet the King?" "Yes." "Have a seat." "I'd been upset about not being able to see you last time." "I'm glad to see you're well." "It's all thanks to Yesoya." "No, it's not." "Thank you." "The baby's been kicking a lot lately." "I think he'll be strong, just like you." "Is something wrong?" "No." "Did you tell him to disband his men?" "Yes." "Did he say he'd do so?" "They trusted him with their lives." "It won't be easy to disband after all they've been through." "More the reason for them to disband." "If the Damul Army returns with him... they'll become a ticking time bomb." "I'm not sure he'll do as I say." "Be strong, Your Majesty." "You write our history, not the Damul Army." "Prince Jumong is hesitating to do as you wish... because Yeomieul is egging him on." "I will eliminate her and clear the way." "What's wrong?" "You look so distressed." "It's nothing." "You've been like this ever since you met the King." "We never kept things from each other." "Tell me." "The King told me to disband my men and return to the Palace." "I know where he's coming from... but he caught me off guard." "What will you do?" "I don't know." "Jumong." "Yes?" "I'll stand by you, whatever you decide to do." "But you must remember one thing." "Whatever the circumstances back then... you didn't leave to preserve your life alone." "You and the Damul Army... are now as one." " Mopalmo!" "Mopalmo, Mopalmo..." " What's all the fuss about?" "Quick, something happened to Yeomieul." "What?" "What happened?" "Assassins broke in and kidnapped her." "Assassins?" "Who were they?" "How should I know?" "Get the Damul Army to look for her!" " Hurry!" " OK." "If only the Commander were here..." "Shouldn't we tell him what happened?" "Yes, you're right." "I'll go to Puyo." " Cheers!" " Cheers!" "That's good." "The best time as a bodyguard was when..." "I fought the Han army as part of the detached troop." " Yeah, we could take on 1 00 men." " Yeah." "A few dozen against hundreds of the Han army." "I know you too well to buy that." "You're ticking me off again." "Why you...!" "Come on, I'm kidding." "Your temper would scare thousands away." "Yeah, thousands..." "Thank you for the warm welcome." "All that's left is for us to attack the Han together." "Yeah." "What is it?" "General Heukchi called for you." "Very well." "I'll be right back." "Sure." "Come on guys." "Let's drink." "Drink up, Drink up...!" "You asked for me?" "What's the matter?" "What are CommanderJumong's men doing?" "They're drinking and having a good time." "Good." "Stay and watch them closely." "Why?" "Songju." "Yes?" "We might have to kill the Commander and his men." "What do you mean?" "Drink and be merry, Left Officer." "Welcome." " You may be seated." " Thanks." "Here you go." "Cheers." "Cheers!" "Commander." "What's it like to see Lady Yesoya again?" "Hey." "I'm sure he feels the same as you do whenever you see that someone." "Hey, stop it." "Who's the lucky lady you're in love with?" "We still have to find out whether she's a lady or not." "Come on." "Stop it!" "Come on, guys." "What did General Heukchi have to say?" "Nothing serious." "Let me pour you one." "I won't forget what you did for the King and my mother." "How come the people here are so mean?" "We've been starving for days." "Is that all you can think of?" "Why do you think Jumong is here?" "The King threw Daeso in prison to make Jumong the Crown Prince." "He'll give Jumong the throne." "But you're still around." "That won't stop the King." "Taemajin." "Yes?" "There's no point in living if Jumong becomes Crown Prince." "I'm going to the Palace even if it kills me." " Let's go." " Your Highness!" "What is it?" "Put yourself in my shoes." "I'm from the Han Empire." "King Kumwa hates the Han." "He'll kill me first." "So, you won't come with me?" "Why don't you go first and see if the coast is clear?" "You selfish fool." "We're in this together." "Follow me." "I'm not going without you." "I'm so dead..." "Prime Minister." "What is it?" "Yuntabal and Sosuhno wish to meet the King." "Bring them to me first." "OK." "I didn't know Commander Jumong was here." "The King must have summoned him once he got reinstated." "The King and the Commander could do great things together." "I'm happy for them." "How do you do?" "Welcome." "Have a seat." "So, why do you want to meet the King?" "I'm sure you know we've been disarmed... and that we do nothing but business." "Yes, I do." "Thanks to the King, Keru and Puyo used to be very close." "We used to be." "I know Puyo is struggling financially." "If you restore our relationship..." "I'm sure it'll benefit both sides." "Please let us meet the King in person." "I promise to repay you one day." "Very well." "But the King is too busy now." "I'll ask him when he has the time." "Wait outside the Palace." "What is it?" "Something's not right." "Not right?" "I asked the Tax Minister for a favor." "Why is the Prime Minister stopping us?" "I told the Tax Minister to go straight to the King." "Looks like the Prime Minister runs things here." "Have you thought about it?" "Yes." "I can't forsake the Damul Army." "If I move back to Puyo, they will have to scatter." "That's not what we want and my father wouldn't want it either." "I will never return to Puyo." "I agree with you." "I wonder how the King will take this." "He has no choice." "He'll understand if you tell him how you feel." "Stop right there!" "You fool, don't you recognize me?" "Your Highness." "What is it?" "Prince Youngpo has returned." "Where is he?" "He went to see the King." "He's here." "You look tired." "I should've looked for you but I didn't have the time." "Forgive me." "How is the King?" "I've been worried about him." "He is well." "Don't worry." "Then I should go and say hello." "Prince Youngpo." "Thank you for your advice last time." "Now I think it's my turn." ""Be content with your rightful place."" "What does it mean?" "However thirsty it is, a rat can only drink so much water." "Who would've known this would happen to Prince Daeso?" "I hope you don't go too far." "Maintain your dignity as a prince." "Let me escort you to the King." "Did he just compare me to a rat?" "Yes." "Father." "I'm glad you're back." "Congratulations, Your Majesty." "I knew you'd be reinstated one day." "You know this is what I've always wanted." "Youngpo." "Yes?" "Puyo is going through tough times." "Everyone must work together to help our nation rise again." "I want you to help me." "I'll give you an important duty." "I'll do my best for you and Puyo." "How did it go?" "The King has been awaiting my return." "Gosh, we should've known." "All that trouble for nothing." "Looks like the King wants me to clean up after Daeso." "Jumong!" "Long time no see." "Yes, I've been meaning to talk to you." "Let's have a drink." "You want to talk?" "Of course I do." "The King has been reinstated... but it'll take time to clean up Daeso's mess." "Now that you're back, we should work together." "Let me talk to the King first." "Sure." "Go ahead." "Your Majesty." "This is Jumong." "Come in." "Have you made up your mind?" "Tell me." "Forgive me." "I can't leave my men and the migrants." "Migrants from every corner are flocking to Mt." "Bongye." "I can't forsake them for my own safety." "Forgive me." "Your Highness." "If you don't disband your men, it'll put the King on the spot." "You know our predicament." "We must maintain our ties with the Han for the sake of stability." "The King has always favored you." "Disband your men and return to Puyo." "The King will give you all he has." "Jumong." "The Damul Army... did not gather for my sake." "They want to get back at the Han and build their own nation." "Father." "For as long as I live, I will fight Hyunto and Nakrang... and help them build a new nation, one they can call their own." "You asked for me?" "Chief General." "Yes?" "It's time to take action." " You, take the Palace gates." " Yes, sir." "And you." " The Palace grounds." " Yes, sir." "To your posts." "We still haven't heard from him." "I don't think we'll get to see the King." "The Prime Minister rules the world." "You think the King will let him?" "The Prime Minister organized the revolt." "He can easily kick the King out again." "Then there's no point in staying here." "Let's return to Keru." "Kepil's right." "Let's go." "We can't turn back like this." "I'll meet Commander Jumong then." "Why are you in Puyo?" "Are you here to ask Kumwa for help?" "Just because Daeso's out... doesn't mean Puyo and Piryu have fallen out too." "The Prime Minister is in control now... and he's a firm supporter of mine." "Come on." "Take them to Piryu." "We will." "Have you heard?" "Yes, sir." "We serve Puyo and our King." "Don't get sentimental." "Do as you're told!" "Yes, sir." "I have an urgent message for Commander Jumong." "Please let me in." "There was no such order." "Go away." "Hey, don't you know me?" "I'm Musong, from the iron chamber." " Come on, let us in." " Get lost or else!" "This is insane." "Jeez..." "We're leaving." "I'm off to say goodbye to my mother." " OK, sir." " Let's go." "Your Highness." "You must leave immediately." "What is it?" "The Prime Minister wants you dead." "There's not much time." "You must go." "Let's go." "Let's go." "OK." "What's wrong?" "If I leave now I'll never see my family again." "Still, you have to get out of here." "Your Highness." "Please, put your sword down." "Forget it!" "Drop your sword." "Commander, we'll secure an exit." "Get out of here." "Fine." "We all die here!" "Drop your sword." "Commander." "I said drop it!" "Tie them up." "Yes, sir." "Your Majesty." "This is Songju." "Come in." "Your Majesty." "The Prime Minister and the General are trying to kill Prince Jumong." "Your Majesty." "You mustn't go." "Prime Minister." "Shouldn't you have asked me first?" "I'm only killing one man to save you and Puyo." "Do you think killing him will help?" "The migrants will want to avenge his death." "Only Jumong can disband them." "We need to convince him." "Your Majesty." "We'll never get to kill him once he returns to Mt." "Bongye." "How will you handle the Han then?" "This is our last chance." "Please understand." "Please understand." "Why don't you go to Mt." "Bongye too?" "I'll stay here with you." "I can go after the baby is born." "Let me stay for now." "Very well." "Your Highness." "What is it?" "Prince Jumong has been arrested." "Your Majesty." "What's going on?" "Calm down." "The ministers are trying to kill him because he refused to disband his men." "How dare they do that without your consent?" "I can't stop them unless Jumong agrees to return to Puyo." "I'll talk him into it so bear with me." "You can't convince him." "You know he won't change his mind." "If he doesn't change his mind... then I'll regard them all as my enemies." "Your Majesty..." "Kneel." "Jumong." "Is this... what you wanted?" "Jumong." "Do as I say." "Once we overcome this crisis..." "I'll give you everything I own." "You've changed." "I won't accept a thing." "Even if it's your crown." "The only thing I inherited... is your will to fight the Han." " Jumong." " Your Majesty." "You are a Damul Army veteran." "Don't forsake them." "For as long as I live... your building a new nation with them... will be nothing but treason." "I want to attack the Han." "How is that treason?" "Haemosu will turn in his grave!" "Lock them up!" "We will." " Take them away!" " Yes, sir." "Did you see that?" "You must kill him." "Kill him or you'll regret it forever." "Jeez!"
