2
00:00:06,660 --> 00:00:11,030
Many happy returns for the young prince.

3
00:00:11,030 --> 00:00:13,370
Many happy returns.

4
00:00:14,230 --> 00:00:16,060
Thank you all.

5
00:00:16,900 --> 00:00:21,800
My Liege,
perhaps a few words for our son?

6
00:00:26,200 --> 00:00:32,270
My Liege, some words of blessing?

7
00:00:34,270 --> 00:00:38,270
The governors expect it.

8
00:00:38,270 --> 00:00:42,060
Kolta, bring Prince Ayu.

9
00:00:42,060 --> 00:00:44,060
My Liege.

10
00:00:49,060 --> 00:00:52,230
This is Maha's birthday.

11
00:00:57,060 --> 00:01:00,030
There, there.

12
00:01:01,060 --> 00:01:05,500
No doubt
you're all curious about the succession.

13
00:01:05,500 --> 00:01:09,060
But I'm in no rush.

14
00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:13,060
After they've grown a bit,

15
00:01:13,830 --> 00:01:18,330
we'll decide
who is most worthy of the investiture.

16
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:23,060
What? 'Decide?'

17
00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:30,200
Kublai Khan decreed
the first born inherits the throne.

18
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:34,060
El Temur
put my little brother on the throne.

19
00:01:34,060 --> 00:01:36,060
Have you forgotten?

20
00:01:36,060 --> 00:01:37,060
All the same.

21
00:01:37,060 --> 00:01:38,700
You heard me.

22
00:01:38,700 --> 00:01:42,060
We'll hear no more about it.

23
00:02:25,060 --> 00:02:27,900
I'm a little late.

24
00:02:27,900 --> 00:02:30,400
Welcome, Regent.

25
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:31,400
Father.

26
00:02:35,970 --> 00:02:40,060
So that's Lady Ki's boy?

27
00:02:41,060 --> 00:02:43,060
He's pretty enough.

28
00:02:43,060 --> 00:02:48,500
But this is Maha's birthday.

29
00:02:48,500 --> 00:02:50,270
Explain.

30
00:03:09,870 --> 00:03:12,030
She has a burn scar.

31
00:03:12,030 --> 00:03:16,430
She's still in the palace. Find her.

32
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:20,200
You're sure she was at Huanggak?

33
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:24,060
Why else would she run?

34
00:03:24,060 --> 00:03:27,430
You'd think she'd count her blessings
and keep quiet.

35
00:03:27,430 --> 00:03:30,060
Not threaten my boy.

36
00:03:31,270 --> 00:03:37,570
I thought you should know
before the investiture of the fake prince.

37
00:03:37,570 --> 00:03:43,060
Are you willing to testify to this?

38
00:03:43,060 --> 00:03:44,130
Yes.

39
00:03:45,470 --> 00:03:51,060
For my dead sisters,
the truth must come out.

40
00:03:51,060 --> 00:03:56,060
We need more proof
for you to be believed.

41
00:03:59,060 --> 00:04:05,900
There is a secret that only the Empress
and her attendants know.

42
00:04:05,900 --> 00:04:11,060
That should be proof enough.

43
00:04:11,060 --> 00:04:16,060
What is the secret?

44
00:04:16,060 --> 00:04:16,470
On the child's foot...

45
00:04:16,470 --> 00:04:18,060
Your Worship.

46
00:04:21,030 --> 00:04:26,370
The Empress has men
searching for the nun.

47
00:04:28,060 --> 00:04:29,100
Which men?

48
00:04:29,100 --> 00:04:31,670
El Temur's private soldiers.

49
00:04:31,670 --> 00:04:33,600
El Temur is here?

50
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:35,060
Yes.

51
00:04:41,500 --> 00:04:43,070
It's too soon.

52
00:04:43,070 --> 00:04:48,070
We need to make preparations
before this comes out.

53
00:04:50,060 --> 00:04:51,070
Where are you now?

54
00:04:51,070 --> 00:04:54,060
Outside the capital in Sonop Temple.

55
00:04:54,060 --> 00:04:56,600
Close enough for Eunuch Bang.

56
00:04:56,600 --> 00:05:01,060
It's risky for us. He can escort her back.

57
00:05:01,330 --> 00:05:05,570
Sonop won't be safe
if the Empress found out.

58
00:05:05,570 --> 00:05:08,060
Is there anywhere else?

59
00:05:08,060 --> 00:05:12,300
There's a crypt in the hills beyond.

60
00:05:12,300 --> 00:05:14,570
I'll hide there.

61
00:05:14,570 --> 00:05:17,630
The archive, too.

62
00:05:17,630 --> 00:05:22,060
Your Worship, they're coming here.

63
00:05:25,970 --> 00:05:27,970
Here, too.

64
00:05:35,100 --> 00:05:39,230
So many men. Why is that?

65
00:05:39,230 --> 00:05:41,730
It doesn't concern you.

66
00:05:41,730 --> 00:05:44,430
Still, it's odd.

67
00:05:44,430 --> 00:05:48,000
On Maha's birthday of all days.

68
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:50,500
What's it to you?

69
00:05:50,500 --> 00:05:57,230
Perhaps you prefer it remain... a secret?

70
00:06:02,970 --> 00:06:05,060
Let's go.

71
00:06:15,060 --> 00:06:19,570
Has she gone?
We can't find her anywhere.

72
00:06:19,570 --> 00:06:21,070
Sonop, you said?

73
00:06:21,070 --> 00:06:23,330
Send the men there.

74
00:06:23,330 --> 00:06:25,570
Your Majesty.

75
00:06:37,060 --> 00:06:39,600
You'll be safe here.

76
00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:43,060
It's late. Get some rest.

77
00:06:43,060 --> 00:06:44,270
No.

78
00:06:45,060 --> 00:06:47,330
I have to leave before dawn.

79
00:06:53,060 --> 00:07:00,530
Eunuch Pak never did think
the baby was hers.

80
00:07:02,030 --> 00:07:09,370
You can relax. Pak's like family.

81
00:07:11,060 --> 00:07:12,530
It's true.

82
00:07:15,060 --> 00:07:22,060
And she burned the hermitage?

83
00:07:22,060 --> 00:07:24,600
It's my karma.

84
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:32,060
If I hadn't found the child under
Turtle Rock two years ago...

85
00:07:33,060 --> 00:07:35,200
Please.

86
00:07:38,030 --> 00:07:39,030
Wait.

87
00:07:41,060 --> 00:07:45,330
Turtle Rock? Near the hermitage?

88
00:07:45,330 --> 00:07:50,300
Yes. I was passing by.

89
00:07:50,300 --> 00:07:54,900
A man had fallen
with the baby in his arms.

90
00:07:56,230 --> 00:08:01,060
I placed beads on the body
and took the child.

91
00:08:01,060 --> 00:08:03,060
Beads?

92
00:08:05,300 --> 00:08:08,730
I went back to Turtle Rock.

93
00:08:08,730 --> 00:08:11,230
The baby was gone.

94
00:08:11,230 --> 00:08:17,060
There were beads on the body.

95
00:08:17,060 --> 00:08:20,060
You didn't find its body?

96
00:08:20,060 --> 00:08:24,500
Sungnyang, he's dead.

97
00:08:24,500 --> 00:08:29,060
No, he can't be.

98
00:08:29,060 --> 00:08:32,230
Sungnyang.

99
00:08:32,230 --> 00:08:34,470
My baby isn't dead.

100
00:08:34,470 --> 00:08:38,060
Sweetie, sweetie! Let go!

101
00:08:38,060 --> 00:08:39,630
Please.

102
00:08:39,630 --> 00:08:40,530
Star...

103
00:08:40,530 --> 00:08:41,300
Star.

104
00:08:41,300 --> 00:08:42,300
Nyang.

105
00:08:43,060 --> 00:08:44,470
Star!

106
00:08:45,470 --> 00:08:49,060
Sungnyang called its name.

107
00:08:50,060 --> 00:08:52,060
It broke her heart.

108
00:08:58,060 --> 00:09:01,100
What was its name?

109
00:09:01,100 --> 00:09:03,830
Star, she said.

110
00:09:03,830 --> 00:09:04,430
Star.

111
00:09:04,430 --> 00:09:12,060
Hm. For the three stars on its foot.

112
00:09:14,060 --> 00:09:20,060
The King has the same birthmark.

113
00:09:20,060 --> 00:09:24,630
Oh? That's family for you.

114
00:09:26,060 --> 00:09:36,060
Did the baby have
three birthmarks on its foot?

115
00:09:37,330 --> 00:09:40,060
How did you know?

116
00:09:42,830 --> 00:09:45,860
Bang, what is it?

117
00:09:45,860 --> 00:09:46,860
Huh?

118
00:09:49,230 --> 00:09:51,060
Nothing.

119
00:09:56,060 --> 00:09:58,760
It can't be.

120
00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:01,000
Not like this.

121
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:03,060
Just like this.

122
00:10:03,060 --> 00:10:07,060
The...the King's son....

123
00:10:07,060 --> 00:10:10,070
What now?

124
00:10:10,070 --> 00:10:13,060
It comes to this.

125
00:10:13,060 --> 00:10:15,060
This won't do.

126
00:10:15,060 --> 00:10:18,060
Then what will?

127
00:10:18,060 --> 00:10:24,060
If this comes out the King and Sungnyang
are as good as dead.

128
00:10:24,060 --> 00:10:28,970
We've got to make sure
the nun doesn't talk.

129
00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:32,330
I'll talk to her.

130
00:10:36,060 --> 00:10:38,000
Sister.

131
00:10:48,060 --> 00:10:49,070
She's gone.

132
00:10:49,070 --> 00:10:52,530
Always something. Sonop, you said?

133
00:10:52,530 --> 00:10:54,530
What now?

134
00:11:11,100 --> 00:11:12,570
El Temur's men.

135
00:11:12,570 --> 00:11:14,400
What are they after?

136
00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:22,060
Those scum mean to kill the nun.

137
00:11:33,060 --> 00:11:33,970
No.

138
00:11:33,970 --> 00:11:38,930
We're too late.

139
00:11:38,930 --> 00:11:40,060
The Empress did this.

140
00:11:40,060 --> 00:11:44,060
A nun...Merciful Buddha...

141
00:11:48,770 --> 00:11:51,060
Cut her down.

142
00:11:56,060 --> 00:11:59,030
The nun disappeared?

143
00:11:59,030 --> 00:12:00,060
Yes.

144
00:12:00,060 --> 00:12:03,470
There's no telling where she's gone.

145
00:12:08,370 --> 00:12:11,700
Not that way.

146
00:12:14,930 --> 00:12:16,060
Here.

147
00:12:20,900 --> 00:12:23,670
If you please.

148
00:12:23,670 --> 00:12:27,060
May I hold him a minute?

149
00:12:27,060 --> 00:12:30,130
Pardon? I suppose...

150
00:12:35,030 --> 00:12:39,200
What is the secret?

151
00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:42,060
On the child's foot...

152
00:12:50,060 --> 00:12:52,060
What is this?

153
00:13:02,060 --> 00:13:03,060
Your Majesty.

154
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:07,060
You dare touch my son?

155
00:13:07,060 --> 00:13:10,800
You. Take the prince away.

156
00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:12,300
Your Majesty.

157
00:13:17,700 --> 00:13:22,060
Don't imagine your brat
will take my son's place.

158
00:13:22,060 --> 00:13:24,430
You may be the favorite.

159
00:13:24,430 --> 00:13:31,060
But your boy will never rule over mine.

160
00:13:32,570 --> 00:13:37,500
If you want it so bad, take it.

161
00:13:37,500 --> 00:13:38,300
What?

162
00:13:38,300 --> 00:13:43,800
The crown. Maha can have it.

163
00:13:46,530 --> 00:13:49,060
Granting favors now, are you?

164
00:13:49,060 --> 00:13:51,060
I'm quite serious.

165
00:13:51,060 --> 00:13:53,830
You're not one to give up.

166
00:13:53,830 --> 00:13:55,370
What's your reason?

167
00:13:55,370 --> 00:14:02,060
Peace in the imperial house
is more important than any crown.

168
00:14:03,100 --> 00:14:07,900
Running the Inner Court now, are you?

169
00:14:07,900 --> 00:14:12,000
I'm just trying to avoid squabbling.

170
00:14:24,060 --> 00:14:27,270
We're supposed to believe that?

171
00:14:27,270 --> 00:14:32,060
Believe it or not, she said it.

172
00:14:32,060 --> 00:14:34,430
And that's that.

173
00:14:39,730 --> 00:14:44,170
You really shouldn't have said that.

174
00:14:44,170 --> 00:14:47,300
It will come back to bite you later.

175
00:14:47,300 --> 00:14:49,530
It doesn't matter.

176
00:14:49,530 --> 00:14:52,060
We'll be at war...

177
00:14:54,060 --> 00:14:56,800
long before that.

178
00:15:06,930 --> 00:15:08,830
Faster.

179
00:15:23,900 --> 00:15:25,530
What do you think?

180
00:15:25,530 --> 00:15:28,370
They look impressive to me.

181
00:15:28,370 --> 00:15:31,100
Turning that rabble into this.

182
00:15:31,100 --> 00:15:36,000
Wang Yu is quite a man.

183
00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:39,060
Welcome.

184
00:15:40,430 --> 00:15:45,060
The King will see you inside.

185
00:15:51,060 --> 00:15:55,060
It's time to deal with El Temur.

186
00:15:56,070 --> 00:15:59,060
Tell me your plan.

187
00:16:04,270 --> 00:16:10,060
After I leave this memorial
will be submitted to the throne.

188
00:16:10,670 --> 00:16:16,060
El Temur and His Majesty
read the memorials together.

189
00:16:16,060 --> 00:16:19,060
Quite right.

190
00:16:23,970 --> 00:16:28,970
It warns El Temur
that troops are mustering for war.

191
00:16:30,060 --> 00:16:32,060
You're surprised?

192
00:16:33,060 --> 00:16:36,060
Lady Ki could be in danger.

193
00:16:36,060 --> 00:16:38,030
Not just her.

194
00:16:38,030 --> 00:16:41,060
Your life is at risk, too.

195
00:16:41,700 --> 00:16:47,060
My life hasn't been mine
since I took command.

196
00:16:47,060 --> 00:16:48,830
- But...
- Exactly.

197
00:16:48,830 --> 00:16:52,470
You, me, everyone involved.

198
00:16:52,470 --> 00:16:55,060
We're all in danger.

199
00:16:56,060 --> 00:17:00,370
It's the only way?

200
00:17:00,370 --> 00:17:02,230
It's the best way.

201
00:17:02,230 --> 00:17:06,060
All of our options carry risk.

202
00:17:09,060 --> 00:17:14,670
I want you to leave
before we get started.

203
00:17:14,670 --> 00:17:17,830
There's no telling what El Temur will do.

204
00:17:17,830 --> 00:17:19,230
I want you...

205
00:17:19,230 --> 00:17:23,400
I'm not leaving.

206
00:17:24,830 --> 00:17:25,400
Nyang.

207
00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:32,000
I'll help you.
And see the end of El Temur.

208
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:35,730
No one knows how this will work out.

209
00:17:35,730 --> 00:17:41,930
All the more reason
I won't leave you to face it alone.

210
00:17:45,060 --> 00:17:47,930
I'll fight.

211
00:17:47,930 --> 00:17:52,930
And we will win.

212
00:18:19,060 --> 00:18:21,060
You sent for me?

213
00:18:22,060 --> 00:18:26,830
Demons chased me
in my dreams last night.

214
00:18:29,060 --> 00:18:35,500
They trapped me in the palace
and drew swords against me.

215
00:18:35,500 --> 00:18:38,900
Then you appeared.

216
00:18:38,900 --> 00:18:43,460
You took my hand
and got us out of there.

217
00:18:45,060 --> 00:18:48,060
To your secret place.

218
00:18:52,430 --> 00:18:57,060
A cliff overlooking a bottomless precipice.

219
00:18:58,060 --> 00:18:59,060
Please, Father.

220
00:18:59,060 --> 00:19:04,060
I saw flames reaching up to us.

221
00:19:05,060 --> 00:19:08,060
I've never seen such a thing.

222
00:19:08,900 --> 00:19:11,060
The fires of hell.

223
00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:15,030
And you pushed me in.

224
00:19:18,130 --> 00:19:23,060
The demons didn't want me. You did.

225
00:19:23,060 --> 00:19:25,060
It was just a dream.

226
00:19:25,060 --> 00:19:26,830
Explain yourself.

227
00:19:26,830 --> 00:19:27,930
Father.

228
00:19:27,930 --> 00:19:33,060
If I don't like what I hear,
you're dead.

229
00:19:34,070 --> 00:19:35,900
Kill me.

230
00:19:38,270 --> 00:19:44,060
I have failed to serve you. I deserve it.

231
00:19:45,070 --> 00:19:51,060
A dream or hell itself, I still deserve it.

232
00:19:57,060 --> 00:20:01,030
I like what I hear.

233
00:20:01,770 --> 00:20:05,900
You're too valuable to kill.

234
00:20:27,030 --> 00:20:32,060
He's been under a lot of pressure.
You understand.

235
00:20:32,060 --> 00:20:36,270
He feels pressure too?

236
00:20:37,500 --> 00:20:43,060
He's very thorough.
Even obsessive at times.

237
00:20:43,060 --> 00:20:47,130
Look after him.
This country needs him.

238
00:20:48,060 --> 00:20:49,300
Not to worry.

239
00:20:49,300 --> 00:20:54,130
He'll be back to his old self soon enough.

240
00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:10,330
Get up, get up! Well? I said up!

241
00:21:15,060 --> 00:21:16,060
You all right?

242
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:23,060
Of all the filthy places to end up.

243
00:21:23,060 --> 00:21:28,970
All the Koryo villagers are here.
That's something.

244
00:21:32,060 --> 00:21:34,060
You there.

245
00:21:35,060 --> 00:21:37,600
No loafing.

246
00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:39,060
Come on.

247
00:21:51,060 --> 00:21:52,800
Welcome.

248
00:22:01,370 --> 00:22:06,060
Maksaeng didn't have the Blood Vow.
Why let him live?

249
00:22:06,060 --> 00:22:11,800
El Temur wants us to work him to death.

250
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:17,700
Is this all you've done?

251
00:22:17,700 --> 00:22:19,060
Your pardon.

252
00:22:19,060 --> 00:22:21,060
The slaves are sick.

253
00:22:21,060 --> 00:22:24,060
We've got a delivery to make.

254
00:22:24,060 --> 00:22:26,000
Just three days...

255
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:29,130
Eagle House will be here today.

256
00:22:29,130 --> 00:22:30,730
Three days?

257
00:22:30,730 --> 00:22:32,060
Your pardon.

258
00:22:32,060 --> 00:22:37,060
Bleed them, sweat them,
but have it ready tomorrow.

259
00:22:37,060 --> 00:22:39,060
Yes, sir.

260
00:22:39,060 --> 00:22:41,430
Step it up.

261
00:22:41,430 --> 00:22:47,060
Any loafers will go hungry.

262
00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:06,700
There's nothing quite like gold.

263
00:23:10,030 --> 00:23:17,060
The imperials have nothing on me.

264
00:23:20,060 --> 00:23:24,060
Sir, Eagle House.

265
00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:28,330
One minute.

266
00:23:51,770 --> 00:23:53,060
Enter.

267
00:23:53,060 --> 00:23:54,060
Sir.

268
00:24:00,070 --> 00:24:02,060
Welcome.

269
00:24:02,060 --> 00:24:05,060
You don't have my delivery.

270
00:24:05,060 --> 00:24:07,070
I'm afraid not.

271
00:24:08,470 --> 00:24:10,730
You'll have it tomorrow.

272
00:24:10,730 --> 00:24:14,060
You can stay here tonight.

273
00:24:37,670 --> 00:24:40,060
Your dinner.

274
00:24:42,630 --> 00:24:44,830
Come in.

275
00:24:51,970 --> 00:24:53,930
- Yon.
- Did you find out?

276
00:24:53,930 --> 00:24:58,930
You're certain El Temur
keeps his treasure here?

277
00:24:58,930 --> 00:25:02,600
I got it from Eagle House. I'm sure.

278
00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:08,570
It's not in the mines.
But there is one place.

279
00:25:08,570 --> 00:25:10,060
What place?

280
00:25:10,060 --> 00:25:19,060
There's an abandoned shaft
that Yom won't let anyone near.

281
00:25:19,060 --> 00:25:20,400
It's odd.

282
00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:21,900
A shaft?

283
00:25:31,270 --> 00:25:34,370
No one enters,
not so much as an ant.

284
00:25:34,370 --> 00:25:36,060
Sir.

285
00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:39,900
Come along.

286
00:25:39,900 --> 00:25:41,060
Sir.

287
00:25:53,700 --> 00:26:00,770
El Temur's treasure
will be at the end of this shaft.

288
00:26:02,100 --> 00:26:03,800
EEK!

289
00:26:10,060 --> 00:26:12,060
Sorry, sir.

290
00:26:13,770 --> 00:26:18,060
We didn't find it before.
Why not leave it?

291
00:26:18,060 --> 00:26:23,400
It's deep and has many roads,
it's too much for us.

292
00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:27,130
All the same, without any men...

293
00:26:27,130 --> 00:26:29,560
Patience.

294
00:26:29,560 --> 00:26:31,970
Our chance will come.

295
00:26:31,970 --> 00:26:37,630
What makes you so sure
it's here anyway?

296
00:26:37,630 --> 00:26:45,560
Why else would El Temur
value it more than life itself?

297
00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:49,400
This is the place.

298
00:27:17,030 --> 00:27:18,900
Get this to Wang Yu.

299
00:27:21,900 --> 00:27:26,060
Wang Yu should be told.

300
00:27:26,060 --> 00:27:29,630
About what it took
to get back into Eagle House.

301
00:27:29,630 --> 00:27:31,570
That's enough of that.

302
00:27:31,570 --> 00:27:36,060
You love him, is that it?

303
00:27:39,060 --> 00:27:40,600
Enough.

304
00:27:42,060 --> 00:27:43,060
Your pardon.

305
00:27:45,670 --> 00:27:51,060
Wang You and I
are comrades-in-arms.

306
00:27:53,060 --> 00:27:55,060
Never mention it again.

307
00:27:55,060 --> 00:27:57,060
Yes, ma'am.

308
00:28:09,470 --> 00:28:12,060
Now the fight begins.

309
00:28:14,470 --> 00:28:16,530
Write.

310
00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:32,060
To my allies, hear your emperor.

311
00:28:32,060 --> 00:28:39,470
El Temur has no honor and
inflicts vast cruelties on our subjects.

312
00:28:39,470 --> 00:28:47,870
This angers the gods and so we are
cursed with famine and disease.

313
00:28:47,870 --> 00:28:55,270
Therefore my punishment
must be swift to appease their anger.

314
00:28:55,270 --> 00:29:01,060
My friends,
the gods will not turn their backs on us.

315
00:29:01,060 --> 00:29:06,060
Virtue needs fertile ground to grow.

316
00:29:06,060 --> 00:29:09,630
Wickedness must be
torn out root and stem.

317
00:29:09,630 --> 00:29:15,060
To that end I have drawn my sword.

318
00:29:15,060 --> 00:29:21,060
I ask your help
to cleanse the land of El Temur.

319
00:29:59,600 --> 00:30:05,670
The eight governors are all here,
save Bayan.

320
00:30:14,060 --> 00:30:16,060
Thank you for coming.

321
00:30:16,060 --> 00:30:21,130
We would move
heaven and earth to answer your call.

322
00:30:21,130 --> 00:30:26,060
You read my letter and know my intent.

323
00:30:26,060 --> 00:30:29,470
Now I want to know yours.

324
00:30:29,470 --> 00:30:34,060
We have long waited for this day.

325
00:30:34,060 --> 00:30:36,170
You have the mandate of heaven.

326
00:30:36,170 --> 00:30:39,060
We are at your service.

327
00:30:39,060 --> 00:30:44,430
My Liege, we are yours to command.

328
00:30:48,060 --> 00:30:49,970
Muster your men.

329
00:30:52,900 --> 00:30:55,060
We need to raise an army.

330
00:30:55,060 --> 00:30:58,570
There's a reason
we haven't done so before.

331
00:30:58,570 --> 00:31:03,200
El Temur has men positions
throughout the provinces.

332
00:31:03,200 --> 00:31:08,530
The moment we do
he accuses us of treason.

333
00:31:08,530 --> 00:31:14,060
If we muster our men
the whole country will be engulfed in war.

334
00:31:14,060 --> 00:31:14,900
I know.

335
00:31:14,900 --> 00:31:23,060
So we'll have to make him
want you to raise men.

336
00:31:24,060 --> 00:31:27,060
You can do that?

337
00:31:36,530 --> 00:31:39,200
The men are ready.

338
00:31:41,930 --> 00:31:48,330
Have the centurions to move out
in secret, each hour on the hour.

339
00:31:52,130 --> 00:31:57,060
We'll be out of Liaoyang
by the time the cock crows.

340
00:31:57,060 --> 00:32:02,060
It will take three days
to reach Daidu through the mountains.

341
00:32:05,060 --> 00:32:06,770
Warriors.

342
00:32:06,770 --> 00:32:10,060
We fight to the death.

343
00:32:10,060 --> 00:32:16,000
We move like tigers,
strike like eagles, hold out like bears.

344
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:19,060
The heavens are with us.

345
00:32:19,060 --> 00:32:26,060
Our lives are yours.

346
00:32:47,430 --> 00:32:51,000
The memorials at last.

347
00:33:01,060 --> 00:33:05,400
What was it you wanted?

348
00:33:05,400 --> 00:33:10,470
A storm is coming to the palace.

349
00:33:10,470 --> 00:33:11,970
A storm?

350
00:33:11,970 --> 00:33:17,470
A storm that will sweep
El Temur away for good.

351
00:33:27,600 --> 00:33:32,060
Ah, you've forgotten.

352
00:33:32,060 --> 00:33:35,330
I don't need your help anymore.

353
00:33:40,700 --> 00:33:45,060
Tibetan Affairs seems to be short-staffed.

354
00:33:49,200 --> 00:33:52,060
Don't be hasty.

355
00:33:52,060 --> 00:33:57,060
I haven't decided about that yet.

356
00:34:04,670 --> 00:34:10,400
Your servant Bayan
dares to appeal to Your Majesty.

357
00:34:10,400 --> 00:34:14,060
I have often detailed
El Temur's many crimes.

358
00:34:14,060 --> 00:34:16,870
And just as often asked for action.

359
00:34:16,870 --> 00:34:20,060
I can take it no longer.
I draw my sword at last.

360
00:34:22,060 --> 00:34:29,060
Please enlist the governors
to do the same.

361
00:34:29,060 --> 00:34:35,060
Help your humble servant.

362
00:34:37,330 --> 00:34:44,060
I have a secret weapon stronger
than El Temur's thousands.

363
00:34:44,060 --> 00:34:50,060
The Blood Vow of the late Emperor.

364
00:34:50,060 --> 00:34:57,060
I march with my men to punish the traitor
and murderer of the late Emperor.

365
00:34:57,060 --> 00:35:02,830
Please understand your servant's intent.

366
00:35:06,430 --> 00:35:10,770
This is from Baghatur Bayan.

367
00:35:15,000 --> 00:35:21,700
This Blood Vow he mentioned
needs to be explained.

368
00:35:23,060 --> 00:35:25,060
Let's have it.

369
00:35:37,060 --> 00:35:42,100
This is the real Blood Vow.

370
00:35:45,170 --> 00:35:53,060
My Liege, Bayan means to
deceive this court with a fake.

371
00:35:55,060 --> 00:36:00,030
Read your father's will for yourself.

372
00:36:04,060 --> 00:36:06,500
Go on.

373
00:36:08,060 --> 00:36:14,060
My boy, I have only myself to blame.

374
00:36:14,060 --> 00:36:22,060
When you are emperor, rely on El Temur.

375
00:36:23,130 --> 00:36:29,030
He is the only one
who can protect you and Yuan.

376
00:36:29,970 --> 00:36:31,630
I'm sorry, son.

377
00:36:35,060 --> 00:36:37,800
Hear that?

378
00:36:37,800 --> 00:36:45,330
It even bears the late Emperor's seal.

379
00:36:51,060 --> 00:36:54,500
This is my father's Blood Vow.

380
00:36:59,060 --> 00:37:05,700
Rather than use the official seal,
he drew a sign only I would know.

381
00:37:05,700 --> 00:37:07,100
This.

382
00:37:09,060 --> 00:37:10,060
A butterfly.

383
00:37:12,060 --> 00:37:15,060
That is proof this is genuine.

384
00:37:17,930 --> 00:37:21,400
My Liege, Bayan is a traitor.

385
00:37:21,400 --> 00:37:24,230
We march on Liaoyang.

386
00:37:25,970 --> 00:37:31,230
Yunnan will raise men
to put down the traitor.

387
00:37:31,230 --> 00:37:33,870
With your permission.

388
00:37:33,870 --> 00:37:38,700
Lingbei will not stand for this.

389
00:37:38,700 --> 00:37:42,060
Sichuan is at your service.

390
00:37:42,060 --> 00:37:44,060
As am I.

391
00:37:44,060 --> 00:37:47,060
- And I.
- And I.

392
00:37:47,060 --> 00:37:49,060
As am I.

393
00:37:49,060 --> 00:37:52,060
- And I.
- And I.

394
00:37:52,060 --> 00:37:56,060
My Liege, you see their loyalty.

395
00:37:56,060 --> 00:37:59,230
What else can you do?

396
00:38:07,960 --> 00:38:10,060
Agreed.

397
00:38:10,060 --> 00:38:13,130
Muster your men,
put down the rebels.

398
00:38:13,130 --> 00:38:16,060
And bring me...

399
00:38:17,060 --> 00:38:18,670
Bayan's head.

400
00:38:21,500 --> 00:38:25,230
First there is one order of business.

401
00:38:27,060 --> 00:38:33,570
The traitor's adopted 'daughter'
is flaunting herself in the imperial palace.

402
00:38:35,130 --> 00:38:42,630
My Liege, by law I ask for her head
on a pike for all to see.

403
00:38:43,200 --> 00:38:45,630
I must protest.

404
00:38:45,630 --> 00:38:47,060
Protest?

405
00:38:48,060 --> 00:38:52,260
You would risk
the imperial house for her?

406
00:38:52,260 --> 00:38:54,430
And Prince Ayu?

407
00:38:54,430 --> 00:38:58,030
Would you kill a prince's mother?

408
00:38:58,030 --> 00:39:01,170
My Liege, kill her.

409
00:39:01,170 --> 00:39:08,060
Or you make a travesty
of the governors' loyalty.

410
00:39:13,470 --> 00:39:17,060
My Liege, send her to the ice palace.

411
00:39:22,060 --> 00:39:25,370
Surely there is no rush.

412
00:39:28,060 --> 00:39:29,200
The ice palace?

413
00:39:29,200 --> 00:39:30,600
Yes.

414
00:39:31,170 --> 00:39:35,000
El Temur may bathe the palace in blood.

415
00:39:35,000 --> 00:39:40,570
But the ice palace is impregnable.

416
00:39:43,570 --> 00:39:48,060
The ice palace? I can work with that.

417
00:39:49,870 --> 00:39:51,870
Lady Ki...

418
00:39:55,060 --> 00:39:57,060
is exiled to the ice palace.

419
00:40:53,060 --> 00:40:57,030
I'm sorry, Nyang.

420
00:40:58,030 --> 00:41:02,530
Our plan is going perfectly.

421
00:41:02,530 --> 00:41:06,770
The thought of you
in that freezing place...

422
00:41:08,170 --> 00:41:12,060
It rips my heart out.

423
00:41:12,060 --> 00:41:17,930
My Liege, Bayan fights with arms.

424
00:41:17,930 --> 00:41:20,300
We fight with our hearts.

425
00:41:21,060 --> 00:41:24,060
Be brave, be bold.

426
00:41:24,560 --> 00:41:29,230
If we falter even a step El Temur will win.

427
00:42:00,870 --> 00:42:03,060
Look at you now.

428
00:42:04,060 --> 00:42:06,930
The favored little tramp.

429
00:42:06,930 --> 00:42:08,130
Pathetic.

430
00:42:09,630 --> 00:42:11,060
You think so?

431
00:42:11,060 --> 00:42:17,060
You can feel the cold
in your bones there.

432
00:42:18,030 --> 00:42:23,060
Death will feel like
a mercy after that.

433
00:42:23,060 --> 00:42:25,670
Laugh it up.

434
00:42:25,670 --> 00:42:30,330
You'll be crying soon enough.

435
00:42:35,060 --> 00:42:39,060
She'll be dead soon.
Why is she so full of herself?

436
00:42:39,060 --> 00:42:43,060
She's so scared
she can't think straight.

437
00:42:43,060 --> 00:42:46,060
I hope she dies a painful death.

438
00:42:46,060 --> 00:42:48,270
Need you ask?

439
00:42:48,270 --> 00:42:55,170
She'll pay a thousand, ten thousand
times... for what she did to me.

440
00:43:08,060 --> 00:43:11,060
Ugh. Brrrr.

441
00:43:13,200 --> 00:43:17,200
Did you get word to the consorts?

442
00:43:17,200 --> 00:43:22,060
They'll come here when you call.

443
00:43:28,600 --> 00:43:33,130
His men are few but well trained.

444
00:43:33,130 --> 00:43:36,060
If we let them hole up...

445
00:43:36,060 --> 00:43:37,900
it will be a long warm.

446
00:43:37,900 --> 00:43:41,630
Our combined forces
will take them out in one blow.

447
00:43:41,630 --> 00:43:43,730
I agree.

448
00:43:43,730 --> 00:43:47,000
Station your men here.

449
00:43:47,000 --> 00:43:48,430
Jungchu Field.

450
00:43:48,430 --> 00:43:53,060
It will take a while.

451
00:43:53,060 --> 00:43:55,370
The men are marching
from all the provinces.

452
00:43:55,370 --> 00:43:59,600
We'll strike first in the meantime.

453
00:43:59,600 --> 00:44:02,600
We meet at Jungchu Field
in four days.

454
00:44:02,600 --> 00:44:04,060
Right.

455
00:44:19,770 --> 00:44:22,060
We're moving out.

456
00:44:23,970 --> 00:44:26,100
Take Bayan alive.

457
00:44:27,270 --> 00:44:32,060
He betrayed me. I'll kill him myself.

458
00:44:32,060 --> 00:44:33,060
Yes, sir.

459
00:44:34,060 --> 00:44:35,570
When you get back...

460
00:44:36,770 --> 00:44:39,060
I'll show you my treasure.

461
00:44:41,830 --> 00:44:46,730
The men, the treasure,
they will be yours to command.

462
00:44:46,730 --> 00:44:48,060
Father.

463
00:44:48,060 --> 00:44:50,300
You will be the new regent.

464
00:44:50,300 --> 00:44:55,060
You trust me?

465
00:44:55,060 --> 00:44:59,060
I never didn't trust you.

466
00:44:59,060 --> 00:45:01,060
You're my first born.

467
00:45:01,060 --> 00:45:04,060
If I can't trust you, who can I trust?

468
00:45:05,600 --> 00:45:07,060
Father.

469
00:45:09,100 --> 00:45:10,570
Go.

470
00:45:32,170 --> 00:45:36,670
Look after him.

471
00:45:36,670 --> 00:45:39,060
Don't worry. Go on now.

472
00:46:03,130 --> 00:46:05,700
Move out.

473
00:46:14,930 --> 00:46:19,060
Let Byol know it's started.

474
00:46:19,060 --> 00:46:21,060
Yes, Sire.

475
00:46:27,060 --> 00:46:30,060
Sire. Yon Feisu.

476
00:46:42,370 --> 00:46:44,060
Long time.

477
00:46:44,060 --> 00:46:49,570
I got your note.
What brings you here?

478
00:46:49,570 --> 00:46:53,060
I heard what's going on.

479
00:46:54,060 --> 00:46:56,630
You're here to help?

480
00:46:56,630 --> 00:47:00,060
You know how dangerous this is?

481
00:47:00,060 --> 00:47:06,060
I had business this way.
They don't suspect a thing.

482
00:47:06,060 --> 00:47:11,060
Getting back into Eagle House
can't have been easy.

483
00:47:11,060 --> 00:47:17,670
I hit luck. They believed my story.

484
00:47:19,060 --> 00:47:20,330
Maksaeng?

485
00:47:20,330 --> 00:47:26,130
In the mines
with the other Koryo villagers.

486
00:47:26,130 --> 00:47:30,060
Go to my quarters and rest.

487
00:47:36,060 --> 00:47:39,060
Going to war for the King.

488
00:47:39,060 --> 00:47:40,860
How about that?

489
00:47:40,860 --> 00:47:47,060
She's loyal, I'll give her that.

490
00:47:55,060 --> 00:47:57,060
It's freezing.

491
00:47:57,060 --> 00:48:01,060
We'll die at this rate.

492
00:48:01,060 --> 00:48:04,130
Your Worship, are you all right?

493
00:48:05,070 --> 00:48:09,900
I'm fine. Relax.

494
00:48:22,600 --> 00:48:24,060
My Liege.

495
00:48:28,060 --> 00:48:30,170
Leave us.

496
00:48:46,870 --> 00:48:51,370
You shouldn't be here yet.

497
00:48:52,430 --> 00:48:58,060
I had to come. Just for tonight.

498
00:49:04,830 --> 00:49:09,030
My bed felt like sleeping on nails...

499
00:49:09,030 --> 00:49:10,570
without you.

500
00:49:12,060 --> 00:49:13,060
My Liege.

501
00:49:18,060 --> 00:49:19,370
You...

502
00:49:22,060 --> 00:49:25,060
You're freezing.

503
00:49:44,060 --> 00:49:45,530
Just for now.

504
00:49:47,300 --> 00:49:49,060
Just for a while.

505
00:49:51,030 --> 00:49:52,470
That's all.

506
00:50:15,400 --> 00:50:18,060
Where are the governors?

507
00:50:18,060 --> 00:50:23,870
It's past the day. The closest provinces
should be here at least.

508
00:50:25,370 --> 00:50:27,060
Something's wrong.

509
00:50:27,060 --> 00:50:28,060
Wrong?

510
00:50:28,060 --> 00:50:32,870
Sir. Reporting.

511
00:50:32,870 --> 00:50:34,060
Liaoyang?

512
00:50:34,060 --> 00:50:36,700
There were no men.

513
00:50:37,100 --> 00:50:39,900
None at all?

514
00:50:39,900 --> 00:50:42,930
Just a flag fluttering in the wind.

515
00:50:42,930 --> 00:50:46,060
Get my men. I'm going myself.

516
00:50:46,060 --> 00:50:47,060
Yes, sir.

517
00:50:59,060 --> 00:51:00,630
There's no one here.

518
00:51:13,060 --> 00:51:14,060
Sir.

519
00:51:14,930 --> 00:51:15,930
There.

520
00:51:21,570 --> 00:51:23,230
You can have Liaoyang.

521
00:51:23,230 --> 00:51:27,630
I'll take the world.

522
00:51:30,060 --> 00:51:34,030
A trick. They're marching on Daidu.

523
00:51:34,030 --> 00:51:36,060
And the governors?

524
00:51:36,060 --> 00:51:40,030
It'll take time to gather
and start the attack.

525
00:51:40,030 --> 00:51:42,060
Send word to my father.

526
00:51:42,060 --> 00:51:43,170
Yes, sir.

527
00:51:46,060 --> 00:51:48,230
Just wait, Bayan.

528
00:51:48,230 --> 00:51:52,060
I'll have your head yet.

529
00:51:57,330 --> 00:52:00,060
Thanks for this.

530
00:52:00,060 --> 00:52:04,370
They didn't suspect a thing,
thanks to you.

531
00:52:04,370 --> 00:52:07,700
What's more, Tangqishi rode out.

532
00:52:07,700 --> 00:52:11,060
El Temur is left with the garrison.

533
00:52:12,060 --> 00:52:14,060
A fine strategy.

534
00:52:14,060 --> 00:52:18,060
It wasn't my idea. It was Tal Tal's.

535
00:52:19,060 --> 00:52:21,060
Time is short.

536
00:52:21,600 --> 00:52:25,630
Tangqishi should be at the capital
in three days.

537
00:52:25,630 --> 00:52:30,400
That's how long we have
to take the garrison and El Temur.

538
00:52:30,400 --> 00:52:33,060
Now down to business.

539
00:52:35,060 --> 00:52:38,630
There are eight gates into Daidu.

540
00:52:38,630 --> 00:52:43,700
North, South, East, West.
And alternating points between.

541
00:52:43,700 --> 00:52:47,060
The north gate is vital.
Bayan will take that.

542
00:52:47,060 --> 00:52:51,060
Each of you
will take the remaining seven.

543
00:53:03,730 --> 00:53:05,060
Open up.

544
00:53:05,060 --> 00:53:08,300
An urgent message
from General Tangqishi.

545
00:53:08,300 --> 00:53:09,400
What message?

546
00:53:09,400 --> 00:53:14,100
Bayan and the governors have joined
forces and are marching on the Daidu.

547
00:53:25,270 --> 00:53:27,830
Report to El Temur as instructed.

548
00:53:27,830 --> 00:53:29,430
Yes, sir.

549
00:53:33,000 --> 00:53:36,060
Here. A drink.

550
00:53:37,800 --> 00:53:40,060
We're all the capital has now.

551
00:53:43,560 --> 00:53:46,960
A bit early in the day for me.

552
00:53:48,200 --> 00:53:50,870
What are you afraid of?

553
00:53:52,060 --> 00:53:57,060
You expecting Bayan to march in?

554
00:54:01,070 --> 00:54:04,060
Father, a messenger.

555
00:54:04,060 --> 00:54:06,400
Ah. Report.

556
00:54:06,400 --> 00:54:11,730
Victory. Tangqishi
is riding back with Bayan now.

557
00:54:14,700 --> 00:54:18,200
Ride out to meet them.

558
00:54:18,200 --> 00:54:19,200
Yes, sir.

559
00:54:20,430 --> 00:54:23,060
I'll tell the Emperor.

560
00:54:39,060 --> 00:54:41,170
Sir, close the gates.

561
00:54:41,170 --> 00:54:42,170
What now?

562
00:54:42,170 --> 00:54:46,530
It's not Tangqishi. It's Bayan.

563
00:54:46,530 --> 00:54:47,530
What?

564
00:54:50,060 --> 00:54:54,060
Bar the gates and get me Wang Yu.

565
00:54:54,060 --> 00:54:56,060
- Move!
- Sir.

566
00:54:57,030 --> 00:54:59,000
Bar the gates!

567
00:55:17,730 --> 00:55:21,060
There it is.

568
00:55:21,060 --> 00:55:26,430
Once we take that, the world is yours.

569
00:55:27,970 --> 00:55:29,370
Move out.

570
00:55:45,300 --> 00:55:48,900
It is all up to us.

571
00:55:48,900 --> 00:55:54,070
On open gate leads to victory.

572
00:55:55,060 --> 00:55:58,300
A closed gate, to defeat.

573
00:55:58,300 --> 00:56:02,370
The enemy has his thousands,

574
00:56:02,370 --> 00:56:07,430
moving in a thousand different directions.

575
00:56:07,430 --> 00:56:11,870
We are only one hundred.

576
00:56:11,870 --> 00:56:15,270
But we act as one.

577
00:56:15,270 --> 00:56:19,800
And so we do not fear millions.

578
00:56:20,670 --> 00:56:25,230
My Liege, Tangqishi reports victory.

579
00:56:32,060 --> 00:56:35,060
He's bringing Bayan here now.

580
00:56:36,130 --> 00:56:38,370
I'm pleased to hear it.

581
00:56:38,370 --> 00:56:41,430
This calls for a celebration.

582
00:56:41,430 --> 00:56:43,870
Join me for a drink?

583
00:56:43,870 --> 00:56:48,000
Of course. No reason not to.

584
00:56:55,970 --> 00:57:00,060
Odd. It seems awfully quiet.

585
00:57:00,060 --> 00:57:01,870
It does.

586
00:57:02,800 --> 00:57:06,060
Your Majesty, how may I be of service?

587
00:57:06,060 --> 00:57:09,060
I thought I'd take tea with the consorts.

588
00:57:09,060 --> 00:57:10,800
Where are they?

589
00:57:10,800 --> 00:57:13,060
In the lecture hall.

590
00:57:13,060 --> 00:57:14,670
What for?

591
00:57:18,060 --> 00:57:20,670
If he knows the gates are breached,

592
00:57:23,060 --> 00:57:28,970
El Temur will kill everyone in the palace.

593
00:57:31,000 --> 00:57:36,060
The imperial guards, his private soldiers.

594
00:57:36,060 --> 00:57:39,060
They all serve El Temur.

595
00:57:39,060 --> 00:57:44,060
The only we can protect the Emperor.

596
00:57:44,060 --> 00:57:47,670
With the eunuchs and the servants.

597
00:57:49,770 --> 00:57:51,170
Our war...

598
00:57:52,730 --> 00:57:58,060
...starts here.

599
00:58:00,130 --> 00:58:20,770

600
00:58:20,770 --> 00:58:23,060
[Next on Empress Ki]

601
00:58:23,060 --> 00:58:25,060
You still want to rule?

602
00:58:25,060 --> 00:58:26,060
I do.

603
00:58:26,060 --> 00:58:29,230
The next emperor of Yuan...

604
00:58:29,230 --> 00:58:33,670
will be me.

605
00:58:34,130 --> 00:58:36,900
I will join in the fight.

606
00:58:36,900 --> 00:58:41,370
I won't have others
dying in my place.

607
00:58:42,230 --> 00:58:43,930
How dare you?

608
00:58:43,930 --> 00:58:46,970
Let me hear you scream.

609
00:58:46,970 --> 00:58:48,060
Join me.

610
00:58:48,060 --> 00:58:53,200
This cup... may well be our last.
