Gye Baek (2011) - full transcript
General Gye-Baek of Baekje and his 5,000 soldiers go up against the Silla and Tang Dynasties. Their combined forces are 10 times the size of Bekjae's army.
Naesin jwapyeong, you're a loyal
subject of this country.
I will repent before you
sometime in the future.
Do you know who the culprit is?
It must be either a Silla spy
or an assassin.
Yes, that's right.
The culprit is a Silla spy.
Let my death prove my innocence.
Who was it? Who killed hyeongnim?
(Hyeongnim - respected older brother)
We can't let Gye Baek know.
General Gye Baek. This is the secret
document that the Queen sent here
regarding Tobi City's strategy.
With her blessings, I was able
to capture Tobi City easily.
And also, the price to pay, I helped her
gain the acknowledgment of hers, and
the Crown Prince's bestowment, from Tang.
Seong Chung is like you,
General, a loyal subject,
but what a pity!
Although we're enemies, I've
admired you for a very long time.
If you surrender, General,
I will treat you sincerely.
How about coming over to my side?
Right, the person who killed Seong Chung,
was not me, Gim Chun Chu,
but your Queen.
-= Episode 35 =-
Her Majesty said no
one is to enter.
Move aside!
I'm sorry Your Majesty. The General
forced his way in, therefore...
It's all right. You can leave.
Why are you behaving so rashly.
You call me rash?
Who's the one who actually
committed the shameless act?
Are you a Silla spy, Your Majesty?
The traitor who betrayed
Baekje, was it you?
I don't know what you're
talking about.
The one who leaked our intelligence
concerning Tobi City to Gim Chu Chu.
Furthermore, the price for that was the
acknowledgement from Tang concerning
yours and the Crown Prince's bestowment.
Seong Chung hyeongnim came
to know of the matter,
that's why you killed him.
Why? Why is it you dare
not look at it?
If look, will it make
any difference?
Surely it's content will say
that I am the spy.
So, do you want to inform
His Majesty?
Go ahead, His Majesty already
knows of it.
Your Majesty,
General Gye Baek is here.
Let him in.
Shouldn't you be in Doksan City?
We have completed our
offensive there.
Do you know about the Queen
being a Silla spy?
Are you aware of it?
Yes, I know of it.
So, you also know that she killed
Seong Chung hyeongnim?
Yes, that's right.
So how can you just let
the matter be?
Then what do you expect
me to do?
Do you want me to kill Eun Go
with my own hands?
Your Majesty.
Would you be able to do it?
Could you kill Eun Go with
your own hands?
Yes, if it was me, I would kill her.
We lost 8 000 soldiers because
of one person.
They too have parents,
wives and children.
Even if she's the most precious
person to you right now,
even if she was more precious
than my own life at one time,
to betray Baekje and bring about
the deaths of 8,000 men,
she must be held accountable for it.
I will pay that price on her behalf.
Your Majesty.
I will do anything.
Concerning the loss of the
8 000 soldiers, I will deal with it.
I will extend my help and save 8 000
commoners, 80 000 commoners.
Don't you feel apologetic and sorry
for Seong Chung hyeongnim?
Seong Chung hyeongnim and
I were different.
I left you at one time, but he stayed
steadfastly by your side all this while.
Can you live with that?
I know. Heung Su knows
this as well.
But, for my sake, and not
for the country's sake,
he doesn't want to say
anything further.
Gye Baek, can't you do that as well?
Just keep it in your heart, just know that
Eun Go is the perpetrator of the crime.
You can do that also.
There's nothing that I can do.
I can't abandon her.
Is Your Majesty the monarch
of just one woman?
Are you not the monarch
of this country, Baekje?
Not just the monarch
of one woman.
I am sorry.
Have you told His Majesty?
No matter what you say
it's useless,
my mouth will never say those
words that you want to hear.
I've been a Baekje general
for a long time.
I continue to live because of the love and
respect showered on me by the people.
Whenever I return triumphant,
they strew flowers in my path,
to celebrate my homecoming.
Whenever they call my name,
my heart fills up with warmth.
I've been able to survive on the
battlefield, not because I'm capable,
but because their families have said to
me ten million times not to die, but to
come home alive.
I continue to push myself forward
as repayment to them.
I've gained much knowledge and
experience on the battlefield.
Your Majesty,
as Baekje's longtime Queen,
what have you realized?
As this country's most
precious woman,
what have you gained?
Are you trying to teach me now?
What is it that you are
trying to say exactly?
Heaven, and the people
of this country,
if they have given you
your past glory,
as a human being,
one must repay this.
So, shouldn't Your Majesty also repay the
people for what they've given to you?
General...
I won't do anything.
I won't ask for you to be punished,
nor will I forgive you.
But please remember this.
Even if I don't do anything, Your Majesty
will pay a price for this eventually.
Your Majesty,
we have a serious problem.
Hurry up, you have to leave this
place with me immediately.
What is it?
What's written here?
What does it say?
What's written here?
How can this be?
It says our Queen is a Silla spy.
Silla spy?
Is it true? How can that be?
It doesn't make any sense.
Just to obtain Tang's
acknowledgement,
she sold our country's military
secrets to Silla.
Seriously, the royal family has
sold out Baekje?
If this is true,
our Baekje is finished.
How can that happen?
How can the Queen betray
Baekje?
The situation is far from good.
These accusations were pasted
all over the walls of Sabi City.
This must surely be the work
of Gim Chun Chu's spies acting
under his orders.
Your Majesty, you can't return
to the palace now.
We must keep away.
Where can I go?
Let's go to Silla together.
I was afraid something like this might happen,
that's why I didn't kill my subordinate.
I've contacted him,
let's meet up with him.
Then what about Hyo?
Hasn't Prince Hyo been sent
to Wae country as an envoy?
We'll just notify him to stay
there for the time being.
Your Majesty,
please make up your mind.
What shall we do?
It's all the Queen's fault.
It's all because of the Queen that
my son died on the battlefield.
What shall we do?
Stop calling her Queen.
If this is true,
she's not the Queen,
and not a subject of Baekje.
For her own selfish desires, and that
of her son, she betrayed the country.
Your Majesty, let's get out
of here quickly.
She betrayed Baekje!
Your Majesty, are you all right?
Let's go to Silla.
You have made up your mind?
We have to go.
We have to see Gim Chun Chu.
You've made a wise decision.
Your Majesty. Your servant,
Sa Taek Ja has something to report.
Last night there were messages
pasted all over the walls of Sabi City,
but it's difficult for me to
speak of the contents.
What is the matter all about?
The Queen and wisa jwapyeong
have been accused as spies.
Your Majesty, this could be
a rumour spread by the enemy,
but if there's any truth in it,
then this is a most heinous crime.
We must start an investigation
into the matter immediately.
Your Majesty, time is of the utmost importance,
please let us have your edict quickly.
Jojeong Jwapyeong.
Yes, Your Majesty.
This must surely be Silla's evil plan.
Look for the culprits of this
evil plan immediately.
Be meticulous in your investigation
concerning the Queen and wisa jwapyeong.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Didn't you say she was here?
She clearly didn't go out.
Your Majesty, the Queen's
whereabouts are unknown.
Your Majesty, we weren't able to locate
the whereabouts of wisa jwapyeong.
Your Majesty, it seems like both
of them have gone into hiding.
Looks like the messages on
the city walls are true.
Order the palace guards to pursue
both of them immediately.
Make sure they are brought
before me.
Your servant complies with
your order, Your Majesty.
Doksan City and Dongjang City, you
entered the cities without any bloodshed?
This looks like Silla's plan.
To abandon the city, giving the impression
that they don't want to fight so that we'll
let our guard down,
but planning a massive
attack secretly.
Resurrection? That's a possibility.
But with our alliance with Goguryeo,
no matter where they choose to attack,
they'll be similarly attacked.
Would Gim Chun Chu do that if
he doesn't have any backing?
The one that Gim Chun Chu trusts,
isn't it Tang?
Will Silla and Tang launch
a joint attack?
Looks like I'll have to go to Goguryeo
personally, and meet Yeong Gye Somun.
The capital is in turmoil, will things
be fine if you are not around?
This is more important than that.
Rather than just one person, the Queen, this
will affect the lives of all the people of Baekje.
Yes, you're right. You must be careful.
Hyeongnim, you should also finish up the
book on the art of warfare as soon as possible.
Yes, I will work harder.
-= Goguryeo's Camp =-
You came at the right time,
I was about to seek you out.
Is it concerning Silla?
Not Silla, but Tang.
What is it?
Tang has readied 2 000 warships.
Did you say 2 000? 2,000 will mean
they can carry 100 000 soldiers, right?
Just as you said General,
Goguryeo and Baekje
are sitting in the same boat
through rain and thunderstorms.
(stick together through hard times)
Don't just look at the problem
from Baekje's angle.
I hope that you're able to widen your
vision before making any decisions.
I'll do the same.
That goes without saying.
If Tang were to attack using
the sea route,
there are 2 options to choose from.
One starts from the continent
following the coast to Wuzhou.
Previously, Tang has used this
route to attack us.
If Tang were to use the
same route,
then it's their intention to
attack Goguryeo.
That should be it.
The other route is the Jeoksan route.
-= Jeoksan route: a straight road linking the Korean
Peninsular to Shandong Peninsular. =-
If it's the Jeoksan route, isn't that the
route that was opened up by our Baekje?
Silla is occupying our Danghang City,
the city that we lost.
Yes, the Jeoksan route is a direct
route through the Yellow Sea.
If Tang were to choose the
Jeoksan route,
-= Magpie Island: present
Baengnyeong Island, South Korea =-
they must pass Magpie Island. If they
move northwards they'll be attacking us,
-= Magpie Island: present
Baengnyeong Island, South Korea. =-
if they move southwards they'll be
attacking Baekje.
Who will the Tang be attacking,
Goguryeo or Baekje,
nobody can predict right now.
On our investigation into Silla's
troop movements,
our spies have informed us there's
nothing out of the ordinary.
What is Baekje's view?
As you know, General, we've recaptured
Doksan City and Daeha City by just walking in.
They must definitely be up to something.
General, why are you
back so early?
Let's go back to Sabi City quickly.
Hurry up.
Tang has readied 2 000 warships.
Is that true?
Yeong Gye Somun, more than anybody else,
is very wary of Tang. It must be true.
2 000 warships means
100 000 soldiers.
As it stands now, we don't know
who Tang will be attacking.
Is the captain of the
royal guard there?
Yes, Your Majesty.
We're going to hold an emergency meeting,
call all the ministers to attend.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Your Majesty.
Do you want to ask about
the Queen?
We've sealed all the borders, but
we still don't know her whereabouts.
If she doesn't end up in Silla,
this probably would be a good thing.
2 000 warships?
They've readied 100 000 soldiers.
Is it our Baekje or Goguryeo?
Who will they be attacking?
I need everybody's views.
Daejwapyeong, please start
and let us know your opinion.
Your Majesty, this is something unbelievable.
We must first confirm whether the
information is authentic.
General Gye Baek obtained this information
personally from Yeong Gye Somun.
I believe General Gye Baek.
I believe his information is true.
All of you should accept the information
that Tang is preparing for war as true.
The problem is,
who is Tang going to attack.
Your Majesty.
it's not as simple as that.
We must first have an in depth
discussion on this.
Then let's do that.
And please remember this,
this is concerning our
country's future.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Because of the Queen, the
entire country is now in turmoil,
and Tang is preparing for war.
This is really adding frost on top of snow.
(one disaster after another)
Fortunately we know that
Tang is now preparing for war.
The problem is Silla.
We really have no idea about
their movements.
It's better if we prepare
ourselves in advance.
If they don't attack us, it'll be good.
That is also correct.
What is difficult is we don't know
how to defend ourselves against Silla.
Yes, right.
Wife.
Baekje may be facing a major crisis,
you have to prepare yourself.
Don't worry.
When have I ever been weak?
I'm more worried about you, General.
-= In the vicinity of Silla's border =-
It's the troops manning
the Silla border.
From here onwards will
be Silla's territory.
But...
Why is it we can't see any light?
Yes, you're right.
He agreed to meet us here.
Be still!
Where are you from?
We have been invited to come.
They look suspicious, seize them!
Yes.
What are you doing?
We were clearly invited to come.
We didn't receive any orders,
you must be Baekje spies.
Take them away for interrogation.
Yes.
Aren't you going to let me go?
Who do you think you're touching?
Stop!
Greetings, city lord.
They are my guests.
Respected guests.
Make sure you treat them well.
Yes.
I'm sorry,
I'm late.
I'm sorry that I wasn't here earlier.
By the time I finished all
my work, it was late.
It's all right.
It's a relief that you were
able to come.
If you weren't here,
we would be in trouble.
But...
It's a pleasant surprise to know
that you're now a city lord.
It's all due to your credit, Sir.
For giving me a chance to
perform meritorious deeds,
and for saving my life when it
was about to be extinguished.
N-No...
T-That...
I-I didn't do it.
It was Her Majesty's order.
I would like to meet the
Tang monarch.
His Majesty has asked me to
take you both to the capital city,
but it'll be dark soon.
Stay here tonight and we'll
go tomorrow.
Thank you so much.
Many thanks to you.
Really...
Your Excellency is my benefactor.
Now the both of you can rest assured.
Wait until Baekje is annihilated,
then we'll give the two of you
endless wealth and glory.
Annihilate Baekje?
So, is Silla preparing for war?
There's nothing that can't be said.
Tang and us have already made
our preparations.
Tang's main military forces are
already on the move.
Do you know how many
troops they have?
130 000.
130 000?
Together with our Silla's 200 000 troops,
we'll raze Baekje to the ground.
Baekje will perish.
You're both very fortunate
that you've come to Silla.
Don't you think so, Your Majesty?
Now Baekje,
will really vanish from the
face of the earth.
No matter what, I can't let this be.
I must go back.
What are you saying?
If you go back, there's only death waiting.
Even if His Majesty were to spare you,
Baekje's destiny is now over.
Didn't you hear what he said?
No one can defeat 200 000 troops.
No, it's still not too late.
I must go and look for His Majesty
and General Gye Baek, and tell them
to make the necessary preparations.
Then we can prevent our
country from being annihilated.
Just forget everything,
forget it all.
It's a war that cannot be won.
Your Majesty, you're supposed to go
with me to the capital city tomorrow.
You know that, don't you?
No, this can't be.
I must tell them.
I won't ask you to go
back with me,
but please let me go back.
Help me to get back.
Your Majesty, what are you
trying to do now?
I came with you,
because I want to use this potion
to assassinate Gim Chun Chu.
Your Majesty.
What...?
I want to kill Gim Chun Chu,
who has turned me into this.
I want to die together with him.
But...
not now.
The place I want to die is
not Silla, but Baekje.
Your Majesty.
Your Majesty.
your horse is over there.
There are also no soldiers over there.
If you want to leave now,
the coast is clear.
Your Majesty.
your servant cannot follow
Your Majesty, I'm sorry.
Please take care of yourself.
No, Your Excellency, thank you
very much for your help.
Your Majesty.
Your Majesty.
Where did you go?
The city lord is waiting for you.
Why are you here by yourself?
Where is the Queen?
I don't know about that either,
she's not in her room.
What is going on here?
If Your Excellency doesn't know,
who does?
Tell me,
where did the Queen go?
It's true, I really don't know.
If you don't know who else will know?
Cad!
You're the person who
allowed the Queen to escape.
Really...
I was too lax, thinking that
I had her in my grasp.
Why are you talking like that?
Go and pursue the Queen quickly.
Yes.
She can't have gone far.
If you can't capture her alive,
just bring her dead body back here.
What are you trying to do?
How can you treat me in this manner?
You came looking for your own death.
What do you think we do to people who
are willing to betray their own country?
Cad!
What are you trying to say?
This isn't what we agreed.
Agreed?
His Majesty's decree is to kill both of
you and send your bodies to Ui Ja.
Cad!
How did I treat you before?
And I even saved you.
Now you, now you betray me?
You despicable villain.
You are a spy,
and you dare to talk about me.
Your Majesty.
you must take care of yourself.
Intercept her!
That way!
I can't die.
I absolutely must not die.
I must inform,
inform His Majesty, inform the General.
What did you find out?
We can't see any troop movements.
What about the other side?
It's the same.
There's no news whatsoever.
There's also no news of Tang's
army getting ready for war.
What about your side?
Also no news?
Nothing, there's nothing.
General.
Could it be that you're overreacting?
We've frightened Silla away.
And Tang,
if Tang wants to attack,
they will attack Goguryeo,
why would they attack us?
Until now, they have not
attacked us even once.
No,
this situation is even stranger.
Allowing us to seize two cities,
but still no news is forthcoming.
They're deliberately trying to
make us drop our guard.
This can't go on,
we must get the right information
any way we can.
Start making inquiries all over again.
I've many informants,
but even with so many,
I'm not getting any news.
Really...
Cad!
This isn't a matter of just
one or two cities,
this concerns the whole country.
Aren't you going?
Yes, General.
Your Majesty.
what happened to you?
Your Majesty.
Cho Yeong...
Your Majesty, you've regained
consciousness.
It's you, Cho Yeong.
But where is this place?
This is my house.
Your Majesty came here
by yourself.
You can't recall?
That's right,
it was me who came looking
for the General.
Your Majesty, what has happened?
Are the rumours true?
I'm embarrassed to face you.
I must see General.
He's not here.
He's very busy and hasn't been
home in a long time.
Then, I must return to the palace.
You can't do that.
And also...
There are many soldiers on the
lookout for your Majesty outside.
Then, I'm sorry.
Can you go and bring the
General here?
General.
What is it?
Please hurry up and return home.
Her Majesty came.
Your Majesty.
General.
What is it?
I am sorry.
I'm sorry, General.
I came because I've something
to tell you.
Silla and Tang are going to annihilate
Baekje and are readying themselves for war.
What are you saying?
Tang has 130 000 troops,
in addition, Silla has 200 000 troops,
They're coming to attack Baekje.
How do you know?
I am sorry.
It's all my fault.
From whom did you get
this information?
I heard this from the Silla army,
but this is reliable information.
General, you must think of a plan
to counter their offensive quickly.
Now, the person the
people of Baekje can trust,
except for you, there's no one else.
Where are you going?
I am a most heinous criminal,
I want to go and beg His Majesty
for his forgiveness.
General, you must protect
and guard Baekje.
Your Majesty, you can't go now.
I will take you there.
If you were to go out now,
the people will react violently.
It's not necessary.
I'll go by myself.
Even if I'm stoned to death when
I walk by them,
there's nothing that can be done.
I committed the crime.
I have to pay the price for that crime.
Your Majesty.
Your Majesty, please let me
accompany you there.
Was I not the one who attended
to you from childhood days?
Our Eun Go agassi wants to
atone for her crimes
with dignity before His Majesty.
I will protect you to the end.
It's Her Majesty!
Her Majesty the Queen is here!
Step aside!
Her Majesty is here to
see His Majesty.
Thank you for accompanying
me this far.
You should go back now.
Go and convey to His Majesty,
the most heinous criminal,
Eun Go, has returned.
What? Did you say the Queen
has returned?
Yes, Your Majesty. She said she wants
to receive her punishment now.
She's in the courtyard of
the main hall.
Your Majesty.
Please kill me.
Don't forgive this most heinous
criminal, Eun Go, for her crime!
I have committed a most heinous crime,
please do not forgive me.
For my crime,
I should die a thousand deaths.
Your Majesty, although you
might find this difficult,
I audaciously request,
to use my life,
to atone for my crimes to Baekje,
and to Your Majesty.
But...
prior to that, I've something to say.
Silla and Tang, in order to attack Baekje,
are currently preparing themselves
for an all out war.
You must immediately ready your defensive
countermeasures against their imminent attack.
What are all of you doing?
Take this most heinous criminal
and imprison her!
Yes, Your Majesty.
Your Majesty,
please execute the Queen,
for violating our country's laws and
a multitude of other similar crimes.
Even if it was the Crown Prince, a member
of the royalty, there can be no exceptions.
If this continues, the people
won't just let it pass.
She must be punished severely.
She must be punished severely.
Your Majesty, the matter of
Her Majesty's punishment is
not urgent right now.
Concerning Silla and Tang's
imminent attack,
planning a defensive countermeasure
against that should be our priority.
Didn't the Queen convey to us the information
about Silla and Tang's intended attack?
If we don't come up with a defensive
strategy to defend ourselves immediately,
we'll miss the opportunity to do so.
General, the Queen is a spy
conspiring with Silla.
How can we believe the
words of a spy?
That's right, Your Majesty.
We can no longer believe
in the Queen.
Didn't the General himself say that Silla
hasn't taken any retaliatory action against us?
No, that's not it. Even though they
haven't retaliated for the time being,
there are many things that
are suspicious.
Your Majesty, it's obvious that Silla and
Tang are eyeing Goguryeo covetously.
We shouldn't demonstrate openly that
we want to start a confrontation with Tang.
If we provoke Tang, nothing good will come
of it, don't you agree Your Majesty?
If we're going to reassign our army with the
excuse of defending ourselves from Tang,
the defence on the eastern border
will be severely weakened.
This may instead allow Silla to attack us.
This could also be the Queen's devious plan.
All of you should consider this carefully.
Her Majesty still chose to return despite
knowing that she'll be facing death.
The information that Her Majesty conveyed,
has to be the absolute truth.
It's imperative that all of you believe that.
General, do you still believe in the Queen?
Because of Her Majesty, we lost Tobi City.
Weren't you the one who lost
thousands of soldiers?
Your Majesty, we must not
believe in Her Majesty anymore.
Regarding this matter, I will give
it my utmost consideration.
Gye Baek.
Do you really believe in the
Queen's words?
Your servant finds Her Majesty
words very consistent.
Please believe Her Majesty.
It's clear that Silla and Tang are not preparing
for war against Goguryeo, but their target is us.
But what the other ministers said,
isn't it possible that Her Majesty is trying
to deceive us with false information?
The Queen is smarter than most people,
shouldn't Your Majesty of all people
know that better than anyone else?
If the information is false,
would the Queen risk her life
to convey it?
I will go and see the Queen myself.
Why did you return?
Since you had already left...
since you had left, you should
have gone into hiding.
Why did you come back?
Why?
Why do you want to make me
kill you with my own hands?
It's because I want to die by
your hands that I came back.
The person who saved me
was Your Majesty,
and the person who can kill me
can only be Your Majesty.
You have already betrayed
the lives of 8 000 people,
but now you've returned to convey to us
information about Silla's troop movements.
Do you think by doing that
your sin can be forgiven?
Even if I forgive you,
the common people will
never forgive you.
Your Majesty.
I, Eun Go,
didn't come back to be pardoned.
I can't even forgive myself,
how can I be preposterous
enough to seek forgiveness?
I want to die,
only then can the people's resentment towards
the royal family diminish, that I know.
Furthermore, by my death,
the troops and the people will
sacrifice their lives to save
this country.
The reason why I came back,
is to protect and guard the people
from the hands of the enemy,
in order to redeem my sins.
So now... only now, you can
see things clearly.
Eun Go,
no matter how I see it,
there's just no way that
I can protect you.
It's a fact that you leaked General Gye Baek's
military strategy to Silla.
Yes.
What was your purpose
in doing that?
Was it to obtain Tang's imperial mandate for
yours and the Crown Prince's bestowment?
That's right.
Conspiring with Gim Chun Chu.
Is that true?
Yes.
Your Majesty,
Jojeong jwapyeong reports,
after a thorough investigation,
the conclusion shows,
the Queen, in order to obtain
Tang's imperial mandate,
-= Imperial Mandate: the document that validates
the Crown Prince's ascension to the throne. =-
conspired with Gim Chun Chu.
-= Imperial Mandate: the document that validates
the Crown Prince's ascension to the throne. =-
She handed over General Gye Baek's military
strategy to Silla,
and caused the deaths of 8 000 soldiers
who were defending Tobi City.
And also assassinated naedu jwapyeong
Seong Chung, who discovered her crime.
All this was done at Her Majesty
the Queen's behest.
Your Majesty, you must execute the
Queen in a public arena before the people.
Please issue your royal decree.
Please issue your royal decree.
Please issue your royal decree,
Your Majesty.
Your Majesty, your servant Gye Baek
seeks permission to speak.
Her Majesty has committed a heinous
crime which is difficult to pardon,
but please delay the punishment
to be meted out.
General, what are you saying?
The Queen has betrayed the country,
and if we don't execute her immediately,
the people's wrath will throw
this country into turmoil.
It's the opposite, daejwapyeong.
If we execute the Queen,
would we not be playing into the
hands of Gim Chun Chu and Silla?
I'm not saying the Queen
shouldn't be punished,
but our priority is to notify the people
the danger our country is in right now.
It's not necessary for us to do
what the enemy wants.
After this crisis has passed,
we we'll proceed with her punishment.
Presently, this is the best solution.
General, there has never been a
precedent whereby we can delay
the punishment of a heinous criminal.
Then create a precedent.
Aren't we in a state of war now?
This concerns the future of our country.
If we act in accordance with
what the enemy wants,
isn't that high treason too?
General,
please be careful what you say!
Furthermore, what do you mean
by this is a state of war?
The information about Tang and
Silla's imminent attack against us,
was supplied by a spy. How can
we be sure of its authenticity?
Stop it.
Apart from Deok Sol Gye Baek,
everyone else is in favour of
execution, am I right?
That's right.
If there's a minister who
agrees with the General,
we'll postpone the execution.
Is there a person here who
agrees with the General?
There's no person here who
agrees with the General.
Your Majesty, you should just...
The person who agrees with
General Gye Baek...
Your Majesty, is your servant Heung Su
still the naesin jwapyeong?
Yes, we haven't appointed anyone
to replace you presently.
Everyone. I, Heung Su, resents the
Queen more than anyone else.
All of you know that.
The person who I was very close to,
Seong Chung, died at the hands of the Queen.
I, more than anyone else,
wants to kill the Queen.
But, feeling like I do, I still believe that
our priority is to save the country.
So, I hope that all of you will abide
by General Gye Baek's words and
act in accordance with his wishes.
Your Majesty, here is the book on
the art of warfare that was left
unfinished by Seong Chung.
Your incompetent servant
has completed it.
Heung Su.
Don't leave here again.
Stay by my side and protect
the country.
No, Your Majesty. The reason
why I came today was
so that I can give to you this
military warfare book.
I've come to bid you my
last farewell.
Please ensure that you defend
Baekje's territory.
The execution has been postponed.
Was it you who held them off?
That wasn't necessary.
All I want is to end my life
as quickly as possible.
General.
I entrust you.
How can you do that?
It's not just your life alone.
Throwing this country into chaos,
what are you thinking?
This concerns the lives of tens of thousands
of Baekje troops and its people.
No matter how much you want to die,
you absolutely can't die right now.
Is that so?
I, Eun Go,
who wants to die, but
I can't even do that?
General.
General, news has come from
the general at the frontier.
Tang's army of 130 000 are not
heading to Goguryeo,
but towards our Baekje.
-= Next Episode Preview =-
Gim Yu Sin led forces are now
gathered in Namsan.
You have duelled with Gye Baek
on so many occasions,
but you still don't understand him.
It will not be easy to break
their defences.
You must,
please be safe and sound.
In retrospect, heaven has given
me a very valuable gift.
Younger brother,
you must come back alive
so that we achieve our
vision together.
I'm happy,
my love.
My lifeblood.
Don't die.
You must live,
just so you can return
to your home.
