Original subtitles

-We`d like to go as well. -Send us.

You powerless fathers have failed to protect this country.

It`s truly fustrating and shameful to have to pass down this wreched reality to our children!

Father....

Joyoung,

Gulsabiwu and Heuk Sudol,

It`s now your job to get the country back. And we will do our best to help you.

-General... -Go.

Save the people that are being held captive in Andong Protectorate. and destroy the register

with the names of our displaced citizens.

There`re 200,00 names on that list.

If you destroy that register,

we can thwart their scheme to render Goguryeoans extinct.

There`s no time to wait.

Leave tonight.

Let`s go.

Let`s turn Andong Protectorate upside down and take our back!

This might be long and difficult fight.

-I will fight to death! -So will I.

What? captain Dae Joyoung is leaving for Pyongyang Fort tonight?

Yes, Your Grace. He`s preparing to leave now.

I heard the protectorate has instensified their search for anti-Tang organizations.

It`ll be dangerous for him there...

I don`t care about the scars on my body.

But the scares on my heart that will never go away.

You`ve cut me too deep.

Physical pain is nothing....

Chulin...

Bastard...

You`re a bastard.

-I heard you were leaving again. -Yes, Your Grace.

-Here, -What is it?

They are just rice balls, but perhaps you can eat them on the way.

Oh my! Food packed for us personally by Her Highness the Princwss!

We`re honored,Your Grace.

I wish I could do more.

Well, please have a safe trip.

Your Grace, you mustn`t! We are your royal subjects.

You`re risking your lives fighting for this country.

When you return triumphant after achieving great work,

I will freet you with a deep bow.

Who`d ever believe that I`ve eaten food made by the lady of the royal house?

I should save this.

I`m staved.

I`ll take it if you`re not going to eat it.

Hey, wait a minute. Why is yours bigger than mine? Let`s trade.

It`s small because you ate it, idiot.

No, it smaller from the start.

-Let`s trade. -No way!

-Here have mine. -What`s wrong? Not Hungry? Thanks.

You better be worth this food, or you`re in trouble.

What`s wrong?

What`s this?

I`m coming too. Take me with you.

You`re not going anywhere.

I can`t stay in Ansi Fort either.

If Tang attacks Liaodong, the Khitans will be at the frontline.

I can`t face my tribe now.

If this is to avoid your tribe, you have other options.

This is too dangerous.

I don`t want you putting your life in danger anymore.

If there was no danger, I wouldn`t go with you.

I don`t want to see you into danger alone.

Chulin!

I love you and care for my tribe, but it`s you I need.

I`m going to follow my heart from now on.

I`m going to do everything that my heart tells me to do.

What do you want?

I want to be your women.

I want to spend the rest of my life with you as your woman.

You might have to live the rest of your life like an ascetic.

You might find yourself in hell or raging inferno....

...because that might be where I`m headed.

You will never know the happiness of being a commoner`s wife.

Do you still want to come with me?

If in the end I could die with you,

there would be no greater happines for me.

Then I won`t ever let you go

even if you say you want to leave.

Chulin....

I think he`s finally coming around.

No, don`t get up.

What...what am I doing here?

I had you brought to my house for now.

Get well quickly.

so you can lead our expedition against Liaodong.

Are you forgiving me?

I don`t forgive that easily. I`m just giving you another chance.

You must prove yourself this time and earn my forgiveness.

You`ve lost everything except your life, your honor, your pride, and the Khan`s daughter Chulin.

Let me tell you something.

I fight against the world for me. And you should do the same.

Not fo me. not for Tang or Khitan

but fight for your self, Li Kaigu. Then you will be able to defeat your formidable enemies.

General,

Remember.

If this expedition fails,

you will die in my hands and I will die from disgrace.

Li Kaigu?

He put that bastard that humiliated me in command of the advance guards?

Yes, sir.

A lowly barbarian is put in charge of the protectorate and he`s become completely aweless!

I don`t care who he is.

Liaodong won`t be easily conquered. And when he fails,

I will destroy Xue Rengui and Li Kaigu in a single strike!

Then perhaps it would be a good idea to return to Tang and acquire His Majesty permission in advance.

Yes, Everything has a process.

His Majesty will respond if I go back and respond the situation in detail.

Prepare for a trip back to Tang immediately.

Yes, sir!

-What?Le Wen is going back to Tang? -Yes, General.

Hes is leaving shortly.

Lord Bu Kiwon will be in command of the protectorate

while we are on the military expedition in Liaodong.

General Sa Bugu, you will stay behin to assist him.

Yes, General.

But General,

this is the heart of the new regime.

Leaving the protectorate unattended is ill-advised.

You don`t have to woory.

it is true there are anti-Tang organizations around the city,

but there are no reports that indicate presence of soldiers.

No, but to be safe, we should increase our forces of arms and....

General Xue has wagered his life on this conquest.

Andong Protectorate is indeed importan, but Liaodong must be conquered at any cost.

Yes, that`s right.

The city has sufficient force of arms. (Sa Bugu)

Don`t worry about the Protectorate, General.

Yeon Namseng need to be watched as well as the anti-Tang groups.

He will try to take the protectorate from me the first chance he gets.

Of course.

You don`t need to worry about Namseng as long as I am here, sir.

Xue Rngui is making a hugu miscalculation.

What do you mean, sir?

He is grossly underestimating the anti-Tang forces around the city.

They coiuldn`t possibly threaten the protectorate.

You don`t understand. There is a trained reble army in the area.

An army? (Shin Hong)

Who leads this army and where is it?

I have no such details.

But Dae Joyoung made it clear in our last convesation that there is an army.

if this is true,

they would not let this opportunity slip. Don`t you agree?

(Mt. Jungmo Resistance Camp)

You`re here at last!

I feel as though I`ve gain another army now that you`ve joined us!

It`s our pleasure to be here, master.

(Gom Mojam)

I have bee told about you, young lady.

Welcome.

Thank you.

Where are general On Samun and Yi Kiwu?

They are bringing a very important person to us right now.

A very important person?

As you already know,

bringin the scattered anti-Tang forces together is our most pressing task right now.

And now that he will be with us, we can finally achive that goal.

Who is this man, master?

It`s His Majesty the King`s nephew Prince Anseung.

We are brining him back from Shilla where he had taken refuge.

I believe Prince Anseun is under the protection of Shilla`s royal house.

That`s another reason why we need him.

I don`t understand.

We don`t know when we will be able to reclaim Goguryeo.

But if Prince Anseung is with us, we will have Shill as our stong ally.

Shilla as our ally?

But Shilla is responsible for Goguryeo`s fall!

-Master Jang, -Oh, you`re here, Excellent.

Prince Anseung has arrived.

It`s good to see you again, General Gom.

This is Captain Dae Joyoung, the son of Lord Dae Jungsangt of Ansi.

I bid you humble greetings, Your Highness.

Are you the warriors that rescued our people from being take to Tang?

Yes, Your Highness. These are the very men.

This is a pleasure.

You are well-known among the Goguryeoans in Shilla as well

We`re humble, Your Majesty.

-Please come inside. -Yes.

Move the soldiery we here. to Han Fort, Your Highness?

This area is unsuitable to declare as a capital of a new state.

A capital?

You are declaring a new capital state?

We will move our base to Han Fort (On Samun)

and declare a new state with Prince Anseung as the King.

But don`t you think this is premature?

No, this is our golden opportunity. Shilla has agreed to help us!

We`ve been preparing for this for a long time, to declare a new state and announce the revival of Goguryeo.

What about Andong Protectorate? (Gulsabiwu) (Heuk Sudol)

We are here to destroy the Andong Protectorate.

We must declare a new state before we destroy the protectorate.

Removing the protectorate alone will not revive the contry.

But You Highness,

Xue Rengui is away on a military expedition. if we don`t act now....

This is not the time to call out the troopd and exhaust our stregth!

One wrong move could cause a serious set back in our plans.

Andong Protectorate is sucking the blood and the sweat of our people!

They`re blastanly taking our people and locking them up to send them to Tang.

The people will natrually gather once the new state is declared.

Thus it is fitting that we discuss the founding of the new statr first.

Thsi is carefully considered decision. so don`t mention the protectorate again!

This is our chance to destroy the protectorate.

We can always relocate the base afterward.

Prince Anseung is a very cautious man.

He will not take any kind of chances before we are relocated and the new state is declared.

Convincing him to camo here was a challenge alone. (Jang Sanhae)

He is the only living male heir of the royal house on this land.

Then we shall return to Liaodong.

Joyoung,

Liaodong is in dangerous situation as well.

We need you as much as we need Prince Anseung to rivive the country.

Then let us have a detachmant of troops.

We will stay behind and destroy the protectorate ourselves.

If you must insist,

Master Jang and I will stay behind with you with half of the troops.

Chances are we won`t succeed even if we rallied our entire army.

I know.But if we do succeed, it would be a huge leap foward in our cause.

Thank you, Master.

I wagered my pride and honor on this battle!

About this time,

Xue Rengui was rallying a huge army to Liaodong.

It was a massive punitive force called up to subjugate some dozen forts that had not yet surrendered

including Ansi, Liaodong and Geonan Fort.

While the dark cloud of war moved in over Liaodong.

ominous energy approached Pyonyang Fort as well.

(Asilum Village near Pyongyang Fort)

How many are guarding the Protectorate compound?

There`re about two thousand men left.

We might have a chance with a surprise raid.

yes,

it`s possible to incapacitate them with our five hundred men.

But how do we get 500 soldiers through the city gate?

You had once gotten us into the city in beggar`s disguise.

Yes, I remember.

How many men can get in that way in a day?

About ten.

the guards won`t be suspicious since that`s the usual number.

It will take us ten days to get a hundred soldiers in.

I will take those men and capture the city gate.

That`s a good idea.

I will wait outside the city with the rest of the soldiers.

But they have tightened the security inside the ciy.

If any one of you are captured, all of us could be captured.

But we can`t just give up.

Let`s give it a shot.

You have to ebter the tigers den to catch the tiger.

Stop!

Where is Black Rat?

Where is he?

We will have nothing to fear once Black Rat is captured.

We have to keep the city secure while General xue Rengui is away.

-Of course, sir. -General!

This man claims to know where Black Rat is.

-Is this true? -Yes.

Please, please don`t kill me!

Go on. Where is Black Rat hiding?

Please, please don`t kill me!

-Beat him until he talks! -Yes, let`s go.

Black Rat......

One hundred peices of gold for Black Rat`s capture.....

Look at the cold and untrusting faces of the people.

They`re offering rewards to anyone that rat on anti-Tang activities.

I bet this was all Bu Kiwon`s idea.

That bastard netter not show up in front of me or he`s dead!

Joyoung!

A group of soldiers just left the city to capture Black Rat!

The slum village is in danger!

Bu Kiwon is on a mad rampage to snuff out the insurgents.

Master Jang`s been taken as well!

The soldiers won`t be able to enter the city in these conditions.

Let`s just do this ourselves!

I can easily take a hundread Tang bastard alone.

Don`t be a fool.

This is all because of those bastards Bu Kiwon and Sa Bugu!

I was heard at the market place that Liaodong Fort has fallen!

Liaodong...Liaodong Fort has fallen?

I cannot believe my ears.

How could Liaodong Fort so easily?

Nothing was like it was before-

not us, the defenders, and not them, the aggressors (Go Sagae)

no one was the same.

I never thought it would make (Dae Jungsang)

such a huge difference not having a regime...

They will come after Ansi Fort next.

The entire Liaodong region will be theirs if Ansi Fort falls.

What will you do?

If they can bring Liaodong down this easily, we won`t be able to hold them back for very long either.

We must fight to the death defending the fort, but I don`t know how we are going to protect

the countless people who trusted us to take refuge here.

Xue Rengui....

I underestimated his stregth!

-March to Ansi Fort tonight? -That`s right.

I cannot rest until Ansi Fort is reduced to ashes!

But the soldiers are exhausted

from the long walk and continuous battles.

That`s right, general Ansi Fort is unlike Liaodong Fort.

We should rest up and attack with full force...

We cannot waste this momentum.

The force of our soldiers was like a fierce tornado out there.

Advance to Ansi Fort, general.

The longer we rest, more time they will have to prepare.

You`re the only one who sees this the way I do.

I`ve agreed to relinquish my fate to a chiled like Li Wen and seal that agreement with my blood!

I am dying to destroy Ansi Fort wash away my thousand year- old trustrastion

and stamp my hand across Li Wen`s face!

So am I.

I will burn Ansi Fort down

and get the prisoners back to protect my honor.

Commander Li, your work was vital in bringing Liaodong Fort down.

You will spearhead the battle against Ansi Fort as well.

I would be honored, sir.

Are you a sleep?

Come in, general.

Why are you still up?

I`ve lost the city that our ancenstors have kept strong for generations.

How could I rest my legs and fall asleep?

It isn`t your fault, general.

What is your plan with Ansi Fort?

Abandon it.

General Dae, abandon the fort and save the people.

This is a city of one thousand year history.

How could I, in a single decision.....

The enemy`s force was fearsome and extraordinary.

They were like evil beasts eating up everithing in sight!

You can give up the fort,

but you can`t let the beast take our people.

If I had known that Liaodong would fall so helplessly.

I would`ve chosen without hesitation to leave the fort and save the people.

But I`ve lost both the fort and the people with my wromg decision.

Jungsang, it`s me.

Gom Mojam sent a message.

I`m afraid it may not be possible to destroy Andong Protectorate in the present conditions.

Nothing is working out in both Liaodong and Pyongyang Fort!

Why is this happening? Why?

-Sire. -You are like a phantom.

You appeared out of nowhere and want to see me.

So, what is it this time?

We`ve come to destroy Andong Protectorate.

But the anti-Tang group that was helping us has disintangrated.

We need your help.

You`re always full of suprises.

What can I do?

Open the east gate for us in a few days.

What? You want me to open the city gate?

Yes, sir.

I guess there really is a train army after all.

But I`m afraid I can`t help you this time.

-Sire! Take a look around the city.

All of the anti-Tang groups in this fort have been destroyed.

It`s harder to go through the city gate than it is to go thropugh a needle hole.

How can you bring in an army in these conditions?

-But, -Whatever you`re planning to do,

you won`t succeed this time.

Give up while you are ahead.

One last time. Help us one last time!

I`m being watched by Bu Kiwon as well. If this comes back to me, we lost all of Goguryeo.

The conditions are too unfavorable to attempt this with determanition alone.

That`s why I`m urging you to give it up.

Gom Mojam sent a message this afternoon.

We have three days left to open the gate. If we can`t open the gate,

He will abandon the operation and take troops to Han Fort.

Tell them to leave. We don`t need them!

The three of us saved ten thousand prisoners and we can destroy the protectorate without them! Right?

Lord Namseng is right.

A reckless attempt to destroy the protectorate could bring disastours consequences.

Ansi Fort is in danger of being taken,

and I`ve come all the way here and accomplished nothing...

There was something you said to me

on the ship that was carrying the prisoners.

"Awaken the rage within the Khitan soldiers."

The people of Pyongyang Fort are deep sleep as well.

They need someone to awaken them.

I found it on the street.

It`s a poster the protectorate had put up to bring you in.

I believe you can do it.

Like the way I led the Khitan army and destroyed the Tang army. Now it`s your turn.

My turn?

Black Rat`s identity still hasn`t been exposed.

If the leader of Pyongyang`s anti-Tang organization is someone that no one imagined,

if he is someone that can insipre the people and give them great hope.

Nothing will move the people more and awaken their seethingrage.

Um, I`m doing what I`m told.

but I don`t understand what we`re doing here.

We don`t have a lot of time. Just do what you`re told.

Do you know what we`re doing, Gulsabiwu?

-No, but I`m sure we`ll find out soon enough. -Blasted bastard. You don`t know anything either.

I don`t get this. We should be hiding,

but you want the whole world to know you`re here!

I`ll see you back here tomorrow at dawn. There isn`t much time. let`s get going.

All right. Let`s get it done.

Fine. Painting glue on the wall shouldn`t be difficult. Let`s go.

Break it up! What`s the commotion?

-Bring us our wine! -Hold on a minute!

Are you telling me that Dae Joyoung is Black Rat?

Go out to the market place if you don`t believe me.

There`s a huge panic that the rebel leader Black Rat is none other than Dae Joyoung!

-Why? -What do you mean why?

He wiped out one thousand Tang soldiers with just two of his men and saved our people from being taken.

If he is Black Rat, who knows what will happen?

They say that he`s going to attack the protectorate with his army!

Is that true?

Are you blind? You`ve seen the posters.

Black Rat, I mean Dae Joyoung, is going to destroy the protectorate!

What in heaven`s name is going on here?

Why is this bastard`s face plastered all over the city?

My men are on it,

so we will soon find out who is behine this.

It says here that Black Rat is Daae Joyoung! (Bu Kiwon)

Dae Joyoung is the leader of the anti-Tang organization!

We shouldn`t jump to hasty conclusions, sir.

But hus face is plastered all over town!

He won`t advertise what he looks like unless he is insane. (Shin Sung)

What`s more , Liaodong is in danger right now.

He wouldn`t leave Liaodong and come out here alone.

This is the first time I`m hearing

about Dae Joyoung being here as well. (Sa Bugu)

I`m sure whoever that`s going around putting these up have a different motive.

A differeny motive?

Finding that out will be the key to solving this case.

We are dealing with the leader of the anti-Tang organization Black Rat.

We must not take this lightly.

Black Rat... Who could this man be?

I guarantee you that Dae Joyoung is behine this.

What could he be thinking?

That`s what I want to ask you, sire.

Ask Me? (Yeon namsng)

Please tell me the truth. I`m certain you`ve seen him. (Shin Hung)

What are you talking about?

Sire, are you trying to deceive me as well?

What did Dae Joyoung say to you?

He asked for my jelp and I refused. That is all.

He asked for your help?

What did he want you to help him with?

-I don`t know. -Sire,

I`m just as puzzled about this as you are! What could he be thinking?

Dae Joyoung is going to attack the protectorate?

I`m sure of it, brother.

Dae Joyoung will attack just like this poster says.

But there are no such indications. How am I supposed to do anything?

You must get all of the remaining troops together and tightly guard the city gates.

This is frustrating.....

I can see the dark clouds and hear the thunder, but there is no rain.

I`m afraid we will be hit with a violent gale.

He is here. I`m sure of it.

Dae Joyoung is approching us, brother.

Expose the idientity of your leader Black Rat!

We know it isn`t Dae Joyoung!

Those who come foward with information about his whereabouts

or his plot will not only be released but he will also be rewarded enough money to last a lifetime.

come foward without fear!

Come foward without fear!

You will be rewarded enough money to last a lifetime!

What is happening, sir?

Joyoung must be planing something big.

There is not a soul in Pyongyang who doesn`t know your face now.

Master Gom?

He is standing by in the hills out side with the troops.

They will retreat if we fail to open the gate today.

Timing couldn`t be better.

A bazaar is being held at the market place today.

There is no one helping us.

Like the time we rescued the craftmen from Tang convoy, we are on our own.

We can do it.

If we fail, the worst thing that can happen is death.

If this doesn`t work we`ll just die fighting. What`s there to be afraid of?

You two go first and put up this poster in the market place.

-We`ll see you later. -Don`t be long.

Thanks, Chulin.

I`m not afraid of anything because you`re here.

We can do this.

What`s this?

Black Rat is coming here today?

Everyone gather around!

-It`s says here that Dae Joyoung is coming here today! -Black Rat is coming!

Dae Joyoung is coming!

-Blac Rat is coming here today! -Dae Joyoung is coming!

Unbelievable! Black Rat is coming here today!

Dae Joyoung is coming! He is coming here today!

Out of the way! Move!

Step Back!

You will be treated as anti-Tang rebles unless you get out of here!

Get out of here!

Are you deaf? Get out of here!

Do you have a death wish?

Black Rat! It`s Dae Joyoung!

Yes it`s him! It`s the man in the picture!

It`s Dae Joyoung! Dae Joyoung is really here!

Black Rat! It`s Dae Joyoung!

Everyone, It`s Dae Joyoung!

It`s Dae Joyoung! Gather around, everyone! Gather around!

I am Dae Joyoung!

I have an earnest message I want to deliver to the people of Pyongyang Fort!
