The Blade and Petal

Episode 18

What is the cause behind your sword, Princess So Hee?

If you had loved Koguryo

you should not have killed the king and mocked him as you did.

And then?

After you kill me...

After you kill me...

And then what?

That has nothing to do with you.

Move.

It is Yun Gae So Mun that I must kill.

Why throw your life away?

I've waited years for this moment.

My life was in hell.

When I couldn't stop my brother and father burning in the fire

I lived for this moment. To kill him!

Get out of my way!

I cannot let you kill the prime minister.

Even if you kill the prime minister

the new Koguryo will not come.

Get out of my way!

Get out of my way!

Sire.

Give me time to get myself together.

What's going on? Is everything all right?

There was an assassin.

Which way?

That way.

Let's go.

Sire.

You tricked me today.

It's all right.

I'm not offended.

Because I believed in you.

You should have hidden your sword and stabbed me with it.

I believed that you were concerned with the life and death of Koguryo.

This is...

This is disappointing.

Sire.

If I die...

Koguryo will fall with me.

You were afraid.

Afraid of Koguryo without me.

You were afraid.

That was the reason you could not stab me with your sword.

That's who you are.

You know your roles well.

I'm going to kill everyone that betrayed the former king.

Can you all do it?

You think the princess will be okay alone?

Princess will take care of Yun Gae So Mun.

Jang said that he will help her. We will have to trust him.

When the princess kills Yun Gae So Mun, she will let us know.

Then we're going to meet up with Yang Mun's army.

Then we'll head to the palace.

Finally, our king can rest in peace tomorrow morning.

Traitor Boo Yeon Su! I'm here to kill you.

What arrogance! Kill him!

You want to cancel the wedding?

Just listen to me.

You must have a reason.

Why? Director Yun Choong doesn't want me?

There are rumors that Yun Choong is involved with the Golden Flower Agency.

They are just groundless rumors.

There is no such thing as a groundless rumor.

- You have to listen to your father... - Father!

Enough! We won't talk about this anymore.

Who are you?

Do Soo! Pay for your crime in helping Yun Gae So Mun murder the former king.

Pay for my crime? Are you from the Golden Flower?

You must be the assassin from the Golden Flower Agency.

Is my father your target?

The father is a traitor.

And the daughter is in the Joye Agency.

Nice going.

How dare you call him a traitor?

The Golden Flower Agency seems to be targeting all of our warlords.

I just lost the assassin that came to kill my father.

Did the prime minister return from the palace?

The prime minister did not return yet.

Ji Gwan! Gather up the agents, assign them into squads and go!

Where did the director go?

I don't know.

You do not know?

Where is the director in this critical moment?

There are rumors that Yun Choong is involved with the Golden Flower Agency.

Instructor! When is the last time you saw Director Yun Choong?

Are you sure he's not inside?

No one can enter the prime minister's manor.

Our priority is to protect other warlords.

You don't know where the director is either?

I'm sure he's after the Golden Flower Agency.

That's what you want to believe.

We're going to check the houses of the nobles. Hurry up!

Who are you?

You helped Yun Gae So Mun murder the former king.

Don't do this. I made a mistake.

You can make amends in death.

Wait!

I will give you useful information.

What is it that you want?

I will help you kill Yun Gae So Mun.

Get him alive.

Bastard!

We have lost many.

What happened to the princess?

She failed.

But she safely escaped.

Go outside of the city wall and alert Yang Mun's army.

Tell them to retreat.

Yes sir.

What's taking Boo Chi so long?

An assassin tried to kill the prime minister at the palace.

What happened?

Fortunately, Yun Choong saved him.

They created a diversion so that they could attack the palace.

How did the director know that the assassin was going to be there?

He must have known that they had other plans.

Did he get the assassin?

He lost him.

Princess.

I'm just glad that you're safe.

Why throw your life away?

Did everyone retreat?

Yes.

Director, sir.

How is your wound?

I heard that the assassin was a girl.

The best warrior in the Joye Agency lost him.

There must be only one reason.

It's either that you deliberately let her go...

Or perhaps you have a history with the assassin.

Get some rest.

In the morning, you will have to explain your mistakes.

General Yang Mun.

You moved your army to Pyongyang without an order from the king

is enough to have all of your relatives executed.

I will have to ask what your plan was.

Chancellor, explain.

The reason I had moved the army was...

It was to warn you, Prime Minister.

Koguryo was not a country where one man makes all the decisions.

It was a country that was led by the king and the assembly.

But right now Koguryo is under the tyranny of the prime minister.

So...

What is it that you want?

Resign from your office, Prime Minister.

And the office of prime minister shall be abolished permanently.

I trusted you because you had the courage not to bend to power.

Tyranny will end up destroying Koguryo.

Pay the price for your argument.

Look.

Look!

This is the end of the man who has defied the will of Koguryo.

Sire.

It's a letter from General Yang Mun.

Sire.

Everything has failed.

The prime minister will question me for moving my army.

I will say that I had acted on my own accord.

I'm not on your side or on the side of the late former king.

I do not support the Golden Flower Agency.

However, I believe that tyranny will eventually be the end of Koguryo.

Do not forget this, sire. Remember.

You prick! Do you know how many people died because of you?

What are you talking about?

It was him! He sold our intelligence to the Joye Agency!

Yes! Our plan, the map, and our retreat route!

He told them everything!

Why?

Kill me, Princess.

We will kill you even if you beg for your life.

Why did you do it?

Why Suk Goo?

Why?

My mother...

She starved to death.

I couldn't let my newborn baby die too.

There is no point in listening to him.

Do you know how many of us are dead because of him?

Enough.

Princess.

I don't want anyone to die anymore.

Something is wrong.

Princess.

I know that my path is the right one.

But I don't know if it's worth my people getting hurt or dying.

How could you say that?

Princess! You're not...

Please do as I say.

This is my last order.

All of the Golden Flower Agency bases in Pyongyang are under our watch.

Get all of them before they move and seek another opportunity.

What should we do when we spot them?

Can we kill them on sight?

Of course.

I'm sure they haven't gotten far away. We must hurry up.

What about their leader, the princess?

Shouldn't we catch her alive?

Yes, do that.

It will be hard to get through.

We must go separate ways from here.

Are you sure about leaving alone?

Do you have to do this?

Don't turn back and get going.

He's the instructor of the Joye Agency.

Split up!

Princess.

Are you sure that she came this way?

Yes sir.

No one is here.

Then they must have gone to the back.

Leave this place up to me. Check the other side.

Yes sir.

Go back before people get suspicious of you.

The director of the Joye Agency shouldn't help the rebels.

I'm not here as the director of the Joye Agency.

I...

I came here to pay you back.

It was here.

This is the place where you first saved me.

That's when I made up my mind...

To spend the rest of my life for you.

Are you really not going to stop?

Do you remember the reason you came to the palace?

You only wanted to be acknowledged by your father.

All I want now is to avenge the man who has dishonored my father.

I have to keep going.

So you should do the same.

I will spend the rest of my life trying to save you.

Along with the former chancellor, On Sa Moon

Boo Yeon Soo, Wi Yi Ro, and Son No Ja are dead.

We have one of the leaders of the Golden Flower Agency under custody.

I'm going to torture him to find out their plan and location.

Where is the director?

Why is the assistant director reporting to me?

The director cannot be found.

He disappeared after ordering the Joye Agency to go after the Golden Flower Agency.

Haven't you heard that the nobles are dying after he disappeared?

So I have heard.

I know how much you want to have faith in him.

The reason you want it so much is because in reality, you can't trust him.

The assassin in the king's chamber wasn't after the king.

She was after you.

It was Choong who advised you to stay in the palace instead.

It was Choong who sent all the agents to the manor, leaving the palace unguarded.

He was the one who came back alone, and let the assassin get away.

Do you still not understand?

Choong is working with the princess and the Golden Flower Agency to kill you!

What other evidence do you need to trust me?

How long are you going to let him deceive you?

Do you love him that much?

I will bring you proof of his betrayal.

I will prove that I'm the one trying my best to protect you.

You will have to promise then...

That you will leave the fate of the traitor up to me.

I'm counting on you, Mother.

Don't worry and go.

She is a very important person.

He is working with the princess and the Golden Flower Agency to kill you.

Tyranny will end up being the downfall of Koguryo.

Counsel the king.

That's the only way to protect Koguryo.

Father founded the Golden Flower Agency to protect the flowers from the swords.

The Golden Flower Agency is just another sword now.

You must realize that people are dying for the revenge.

Nothing you say will persuade me.

Can't you just give it up for me?

Can't you just live on?

We will just have to go our separate paths.

Mother!

Eat with us!

Just go ahead and eat without me.

Can't you give it up for me?

Can't you just live on?

She is here.

You were safe.

Don't worry about me. I thought that you wouldn't be able to make it.

What about the princess?

Still no news.

Don't worry. Dal Gi said that she will look after her.

Shi Woo.

Boo Chi is late.

Are you worried?

There was a time in my life when I, too, was worried.

So I just let it go.

I let go of everything that I wanted.

I didn't give up. I just let go.

If I say that everything is meaningless...

what happens to the days I have lived?

It was a process.

You can only let go after going through that process.

If there is one thing I couldn't let go...

I think this necklace finally has found its rightful owner.

Okay! Tell me where the princess is.

And I will spare you a painful death.

I won't talk even if I had ten mouths.

I'm not scared of pain, so you should save yourself the trouble and kill me.

Is Yun Choong with the princess?

How would I know?

I didn't think you were going to talk anyway.

I just wanted to hear you scream in pain.

Give him enough pain so he'd want to die.

But keep him alive.

Brother! What happened?

Where have you been?

I'm sorry.

Try making an excuse.

Lie to me at least!

Are you really going to betray me?

Was Nam Seng right?

Are you going to work with the Golden Flower Agency to kill me?

You don't need to worry.

So Moo Young.

It's been a long time.

You can't! This place is sacred. Put your sword away.

You look like him. You really do.

Move back.

Moo Young! You will have to come with me if you don't want her to get hurt.

No! No!

I promised! I promised Choong I would protect her!

Mother.

Mother.

She's so annoying.

Mother. Mother.

We have caught the daughter of the former king, the leader of the resistance.

Assistant Director, good work.

I was only doing my job, sir.

While trying to arrest the princess, a woman got in the way.

So I killed her there.

Anyone that tries to protect the rebel...

deserves to die regardless of who she is.

Yes, Prime Minister.

The only thing that awaits those who help the rebels is death.

Sire.

Yang Mun didn't come.

We need balance for Koguryo to stand straight.

You and I are not enemies.

We will have to work together to protect Koguryo.

I arrested Princess So Hee, who has turned you against me.

You can execute her yourself.

Show the king's authority to the people.

Boo Chi! Boo Chi!

Princess!

You sons of bitches!

Princess! Princess!

You sons of bitches!

Princess.

Princess So Hee.

Why did you do something so reckless?

I did what I had to be done.

What had to be done?

Are you referring to the rebellion?

Rebellion? Did you just say rebellion?

I am the king of Koguryo!

The former king was dethroned. I became the new king.

If you think that power defines the king, you will be replaced by someone else.

Are you the leader of the Golden Flower Agency?

Yes.

No! I'm the leader of the Golden Flower Agency.

Fool.

She was only the fall guy.

We only used her to gather people to start a rebellion.

Boo Chi! Stop!

I did everything!

I killed the warlords and kidnapped the director's mother.

Boo Chi!

How dare you to perjure here?

No! No!

Kill me and release the princess.

She doesn't know anything!

No!

Boo Chi.

To me, you're the only king of Koguryo.

I will become a tiger in my next life and protect you.

Boo Chi!

Stay alive! You must stay alive!

I have something to report to the king and the prime minister.

How come no one knew the daughter of the former king was in the Joye Agency?

The princess' personal guard...

Especially if he had been in love with the princess...

He must have recognized her.

But why did he hide the fact that the princess was in the Joye Agency?

I believe Yun Choong is working with the princess.

Assistant Director! What evidence do you have for that allegation?

If I don't have an evidence, then I will just have to make one.

I'm going to torture her and have her confess she was working with Yun Choong.

Torturing the princess has nothing to do with me.

But you shouldn't get false testimony from excessive torturing.

There is only one way to prove your innocence.

Torture the princess yourself.

You will have to get her confessions about the Golden Flower Agency.

If you do that, all of the allegations against you will be dropped.

If you can't do it...

then you and the princess will have to die right here.

Prime Minister, that's...

He's the head of the Joye Agency.

He should be free of any allegations.

I will do it, Prime Minister.

Give that to me.
