3 Years Ago

Goguryeo army's headquarters in the northern border region

The 9th king of Goguryeo, Go Nam Mu

Have you heard?

Myeong Rim is taking issue with His Majesty's inability...

to produce offspring and asserting dethronement.

It's certainly a trick...

to steal our title as the queen family.

We simply have to stop him from stealing it.

But there's no way to do it, is there?

If it's to protect the title as the queen family,

there's a way.

Our Woo family...

has another daughter. Head Maid Woo Soon

Great Shaman Sa Bi

Will His Majesty accept it?

I've already made preparations for it.

He won't be able to wake up for the time being.

Head Secretary Song Woo

I missed you.

Hui.

Your Majesty.

- Last night... - Who ordered you to do it?

I'm keeping you alive simply because...

you're the queen's sister.

If I see you again here,

I'll have you beheaded.

Queen Woo

Episode 5

Wait.

One party is trying to kill us,

and the other party is trying to kill them.

Former Wangdang's horseman Mo Chi

Darn it.

Big Brother. You know, don't you?

The White Tigers.

They'll never lose their catch once caught.

Oh, my. Really.

Daemodal Mu Gol of Wangdang

White Tigers Pa Ya

Over there.

They're taking the side road to Baeuitu.

They're like rabbits squirming to survive.

- Gal Ro. - Yes, Father.

It's your chance to show the tribesman what you're capable of.

Take the lead.

White Tigers Gal Ro, Noe Eum's son

I'll catch her, no matter what.

Let's go!

Bow.

Rise.

Prime Minister Eul Pa So

Those who know His Majesty has died...

Among them, there's a spy.

He must've ordered the poison.

It's not Mil Woo.

He always assisted me.

Besides, His Majesty couldn't afford to lose him, and had him...

serve me instead of leaving Wangdang due to an injury.

He has no reason to betray His Majesty.

We don't have news from Her Majesty?

She should've arrived by now.

It couldn't be them, either.

As much as they want power,

His Majesty's death will play unfavorably to the enemy.

Not yet.

However, Woo Do.

He could be...

This man is most suspicious.

Head Secretary Song Woo.

But why?

Bow.

Rise.

Let's leave.

I wonder how this could've happened.

Have you found a suspect, Prime Minister Eul?

The one who wrote the letter...

could be the man who murdered His Majesty.

Is that so?

Sa Bi.

Have you seen it?

I have.

I saw the Fourth Prince rise to the throne.

- Mal Woo. - Yes?

Inform all the faithful at the palace...

that the time has come.

Understood.

Through Sa Bi's eyes,

I saw our time would come again.

So trust in it!

- To the sky we pray. - To the sky we pray.

The time of the stars will soon come!

I'm not certain if Her Majesty arrived safely.

If Bal Gi refuses,

what then?

Who in the world killed His Majesty?

Putting that aside,

shouldn't we get rid of...

Eul Pa So...

in preparation for when they return?

After we make Bal Gi the king,

we should win back our family's power again, shouldn't we?

Eul Pa So.

Acting all clean on the outside,

he's wicked on the inside.

We don't know his plan.

It's too early to make a move.

Have you found anything?

Royal Physician, Yak Gwang

We found nothing.

Did you say the poison was the lily of the valley?

Yes, Head Secretary.

Now that I think about it, I remember seeing that flower.

Let's see.

Is it?

It's certainly the lily of the valley.

Chief Commander, I found it.

Darn it.

I'll examine the road first.

Look around.

If you hear any hooves, shoot mercilessly.

Split up.

Your Majesty. We'll soon reach the road to Baeuitu.

The road to the ferry dock is narrow.

We can eliminate each enemy if they follow us.

However, the enemy can surround our carriage on the Baeuitu road.

With not enough men, we'll get caught.

Keep going.

There are only three hours until sunrise.

There's no time to lose now.

It's safer to go to the ferry dock than Baeuitu.

Your Majesty.

Taking the carriage will get us caught before reaching the dock.

As Father ordered, we should return to the Third Prince.

Haven't you heard of the Baeuitu's legend?

We are to go to Baeuitu one way or another.

Only then can we stop the enemy from chasing after us.

Yu Hwa, hush.

Let's run away. Come with me.

- What do you think you're doing? - Hush.

Didn't you see the White Tigers earlier?

You have no idea how horrifying they are, do you?

Hold on. Give me a minute.

Listen to me first, all right?

You see, fighting them is useless.

We'll all get killed once caught.

I already received some money.

Put your faith in me, and follow me.

Yu Hwa. Come this way.

Come on.

For goodness' sake.

All torches have been put out.

How do you think the Third Prince found out?

Only we are aware of the reformation.

He might've found out through the palace's hidden one.

We shouldn't go any further.

Why aren't I getting a message from Hae Dae Bu?

You haven't seen Mo Chi?

Darn it.

I don't have time to pee.

Really. What is it?

What?

Let's go. Hurry.

Get ready.

Understood.

Let's do this.

Baeuitu

Let's go.

Don't stop. Keep going.

Big Brother. Why must we get a fire going,

when there's not a soul on this road every night?

Haven't you heard...

of when Liaodong invaded us?

Do you mean the one of King Daemusin defeating them all?

Even babies...

in Goguryeo know that story.

The Liaodong jerks...

took this road to Guknaeseong back then.

Then we should keep it pitch black.

Why must we light the torches?

Are we giving people a warning, or what?

You fool!

Only then can we see the enemy coming!

I see.

Do your work without complaining.

Make a mistake, and it will be the end of Goguryeo.

Understood?

- Yes. - Come now.

Where's the Head Maid?

The Head Maid... Here she is.

I'm sorry. I had to avoid drawing attention.

Why don't you just return to the Third Prince?

You know about Father's command.

Seriously, my wish...

was to die in battle if we lost,

not die in vain like this. Darn it.

Listen, Big Brother. Aren't I right?

I only needed to drive the carriage?

As if kicking me out of Wangdang wasn't enough,

must you kill me as well? Really.

Gosh.

- Mo Chi. - What is it? What?

His Majesty...

has passed away.

Jashi: The Time of the Rat, 11 p.m. to 1 a.m.

It smells of a Persian silk tree.

It's likely the same potion found in the acupuncture room.

Do you think the Head Maid is the culprit?

Someone must've made the poison with the flower.

Let's go to the acupuncture room.

There are both Persian silk trees and dried buckwheat flower powder.

The potion was certainly made here.

You may leave.

Tell me.

Did you give the Head Maid drugs other than this one?

Prime Minister Eul asked you a question.

Answer him.

Why did you approach the Head Maid?

Was it the Chief Priest's order?

The Chief Priest...

took me hostage...

and made my father into her puppet.

- Gosh. - Oh, my.

Why did you give this potion to the Head Maid?

You know well, don't you, Prime Minister Eul?

What she wants.

I simply helped her with it,

and was promised something small.

And what was that?

Take her.

I'll interrogate her myself.

Mil Woo.

Go ahead. I'll take care of them.

Let's go.

Are you all right?

Who ordered you to approach the Head Maid?

Though I read others' fates,

I couldn't read mine.

The last star of Sungtaeseong...

must've been me.

Prime Minister Eul.

Her...

Her Majesty...

It's my fault.

Are you all right, Prime Minister Eul?

What brings you here at this hour?

I left out of the habit of visiting His Majesty.

They were those who served you and His Majesty.

How did this happen?

Someone must be behind it.

Wishing I would die.

Is that so?

Could they be the ones who killed His Majesty?

Faster!

Darn it. Will we just keep running away?

Even if we lose them here, they'll continue to chase us.

It may sound crazy, but it's not wrong.

Even if he's chosen, the crown prince won't sit still.

Bal Gi is the only prince who can stop him. Aren't I right?

Anyone would disagree about...

making the Youngest the king, skipping the Fourth.

To spare anyone's life,

I think it's only right to return to Bal Gi.

Darn it. Faster.

Your Majesty. Are you hurt?

Don't let them get away!

- Go! - Get them!

- Let's go! - Hurry!

Protect Her Majesty!

Darn those scumbags. If only we had archers...

Mo Chi. When I give you a signal, turn the carriage.

Yu Ha. Go to the front of the carriage.

Now!

Are you all right, Your Majesty?

Your Majesty, it's dangerous out here. Please go inside.

Grab the weapons. Now!

Yes, Your Majesty.

This is our chance. Close in on them!

Darn it. Come on!

Surround the carriage.

Hook the carriage!

Let's keep going!

Pull it harder!

Go!

Hurry!

Watch our rear.

Did you say the Head Secretary, Song Woo, told you that...

the lily of the valley was in the Head Maid's room?

Yes, my lord.

You can leave now.

Do you think Song Woo poisoned His Majesty?

That doesn't make sense.

He knew he'd be the first one to be suspected.

"Kill by the hands of another."

It wouldn't be entirely out of the question...

if he were to achieve it through someone else.

Let me take care of it.

What could make...

the heart's blood coagulate and lead to death...

without burning the oesophagus was only the lily of the valley.

However,

the country manages the flowers.

Do you remember how the Great Shaman was killed?

The eunuchs were after the Great Shaman, not me...

like they were trying to silence her.

The one in charge of eunuchs in the palace is...

He's distorting the truth of the evidence.

I'm certain he'll deny it.

It doesn't matter.

He'll have no choice but to tell the truth.

"Baeuitu."

What's it like there?

Baeuitu is...

named after an old term from Goguryeo.

All right. "Baeui" means rocks.

"Tu" means banks.

Rocky banks.

This region doesn't have a river.

Are you telling me there is a bank made of rocks?

This happened a very long time ago.

During King Daemusin's reign,

our enemies from Liaodong once attacked Guknaeseong.

I remember reading about it in the book.

I heard the name of a man who helped the king...

and brought down the commander of Liaodong's military...

was Eul Du Ji.

Yes, that's correct. Eul Du Ji was his name.

So luckily, he was able to drive out our enemies,

but the king was concerned.

What do you think was the cause of his concern?

The king couldn't live forever.

He must've thought that the enemies were bound...

to come back at one point.

That's correct.

That's why Eul Du Ji, the general,

devised a plan.

All right. It was...

to make a wide path to lure in the enemies...

and to build a bank with rocks on the path.

Baeuitu

Go!

But I don't understand.

How could we use the rocks...

to stop our enemies?

Spur the horses.

Let's go!

Father, here I'll show you what I'm capable of.

They've entered Baeuitu now.

Cut the rope.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Mo Chi. Get the carriage as close as possible.

I'll give it a try,

but all of us will be dead if it hits us in any way.

Come on.

Your Majesty!

How's this working?

Go!

Now!

Are you all right?

Yes.

- We must go faster! - Yes.

- Mo Chi! - Yes, Your Majesty!

Should we inform our kingdom of this?

Go!

Don't stop!

Gal Ro!

Hold!

Enough with playing games.

The true hunt begins now.
