You might die if you stay.

The sun's been up for ages.

Get up, you blind bat.

A blind man can't know

if the sun is up.

You lazy fool.

l haven't got time to melt

the pots.

Just tell them l did.

What are you staring at?

Go on, now.

Damn it.

What are we getting out of it?

l'm just so busy right now.

l'll buy you a drink next time.

Here's something for the road.

Metalsmith.

Knocking isn't

always the solution.

Hwang.

Stop taking the long way.

Join us on the greater path.

l like the long way.

Don't go anywhere.

lf you're gone,

l'll kill you myself.

Little mutt.

Grown fond of me?

Keep your hands off

Lee Mong-hak.

All right. Hurry back.

- ls the date set?

- Yes.

Tell Mong-hak

to be patient and calm.

l will.

Ready?

Let's go.

Well, hello!

l knew you'd show up here!

Hwang!

Why are you back?

Hey, Mong-hak!

Step aside, Hwang.

Goodness.

ls that you, Bong-seok?

You step aside!

You fool.

Mong-hak isn't here.

Don't play tricks on me.

ldiot!

No need for that!

They got to you too?

lt's out of your hands now.

Come here.

- Let go!

- Come here!

- Mong-hak is here!

- No, he isn't!

- He is!

- Are you deaf, too?

l smell him!

This way, you fool!

Get them all!

The bowls are here!

Oh my! Already?

Where's Hwang?

He didn't come.

l have to go.

Find her!

Get out here.

Bind her.

Let go of me.

Let go!

Filthy b*tch!

Stop! What are you doing?

Ask Lee Mong-hak.

Stop it!

You part of the alliance, too?

You haven't

even grown a beard yet.

You little imbecile.

l said, stop!

You want to die?

You little bastard!

How dare you...

You attacked an officer?

Run away.

Go! Run!

There you are.

Why do l smell blood

and perfume?

Fifteen thousand Japanese

invaded Busan, you idiots!

Lord Yoo, you said

they weren't coming!

l was trying to keep

the public calm then.

Now they're in panic.

Do something!

- We'll stop them.

- With what?

You lobbied against

building up the military!

Lord Yoo.

How many men can we mobilize?

How many?

Don't ask me.

Your Highness!

Do not listen

to the East Cabinet!

Then what?

Send General KWON on land...

And Admiral Lee on sea.

Preposterous!

General SHlN on land...

And Admiral WON on sea!

General SHlN on land.

Your Highness!

Admiral Lee on sea.

Your Highness!

When will the Japanese

get to Seoul?

ln a month.

What's stopping them?

lt'll be two weeks!

Mong-hak, we must hurry.

Hurrying isn't the answer!

You think this regime

can stop the Japanese?

We must strike first

in order to stop them!

Tomorrow,

we save our comrades

and ride into Seoul.

Grand Alliance!

Mong-hak is your enemy.

She's Mong-hak's girl.

But you and her...

Make your father proud, eh?

Leave it be.

You need to keep

things simple, fool.

What is this?

You see that?

What?

Turn around.

See your messy trail?

That's your clouded mind.

Faulty footsteps

will kill a swordsman.

Why does this matter?

l'll erase them.

Weren't we going after Lee?

Where do we go?

The whole alliance is

being arrested at Yong-in.

Where else would he be?

Wait up!

Leave her behind.

Why?

lt's a heavy load

for the long road!

Just look at Mong-hak!

Don't follow us.

l'm not following you.

l'm going to Lee Mong-hak.

Go.

No.

Go away!

Lead the way.

Don't follow me!

Then kill me first.

Why didn't you go with Hwang?

Lee is worth more than

your own life?

l'll find him and kill him.

You're no match for him.

Why not?

You have no dream.

Yeo-rip.

The worId has gone mad.

Grand AIIiance...

Does the worId

we dreamed of even exist?

Execute them all!

Pull!

Grand Alliance!

You traitor!

Yes, l'm the traitor.

Out of the way!

ldiots!

Just a filthy pack of dogs!

Mong-hak!

Mong-hak!

Goodness.

Why's it so hard to find you?

l told you not to show yourself.

You did.

But l just really wanted

to ask you something.

You killed Yeo-rip,

didn't you?

Yes.

Slaying your master

and pacifying your greed

is the greater path?

Why did we form the alliance?

To avoid power games

and keep out the Japanese.

- That's right.

- And yet!

We stopped them,

but the West makes us traitors.

The East Cabinet looks

away to save themselves.

So?

l told Jung Yeo-rip,

Rather than dying as traitors,

We should wipe them all out.

But he just couldn't do it.

l killed Jung to uphold

our vision.

Nothing but fancy words!

You only used the alliance

to become king!

True.

ln my eyes...

East, West, the king,

and Jung are all the same.

And you!

ls that so?

Then fight!

Let's see

if your sword is

as slick as your tongue.

A swordsman should stand

behind his sword.

Or else,

he ends up like you.

Never liked hiding

behind a sword.

Mong-hak...

Mong-hak.

Don't go to Seoul.

The dream we all shared...

lsn't this it?

No, it isn't.

This dream will kill us all.

l'm not ready to wake up yet.

Follow us to Seoul!

Or drop your swords!

Grand Alliance!

Mong-hak, don't go.

Don't go to SeouI...

That hurts!

Don't touch me.

Don't touch me, idiot!

Don't die!

Don't cry on me.

Goodness.

Good-looking boy.

ls the moon up?

The sun hasn't even set yet!

lt's about time for it to show.

lt's up.

lt's always there,

behind the clouds.

You blind fool!

Have you ever even seen the moon?

Just stop talking.

We have to catch

Lee Mong-hak together!

Mong-hak went chasing

after the setting sun.

But is he a cloud,

or the moon?

Let's go to Seoul.

Hurray for General Lee Mong-hak!

Your Highness.

You must retreat from Seoul.

Retreat? To where?

To Euiju,

which is close to China.

No, your Highness.

To Hamkyung Province.

He must flee to China

if something happens!

What's there in Hamkyung?

You can't even agree to run away!

General SHlN lost

at Chung-ju, sir.

Within a day or two,

the Japanese will be here.

Bong-seok,

we're almost there.

Let's stop them at Seoul.

And leave the people who

trusted us and came here?

Let's go to Seoul.

lf we leave now,

the Japanese will kill them all.

This is an order.

This is wrong!

Mong-hak!

What's gotten into you?

l will not leave.

No, Your Highness!

How can a king desert

his palace and his people?

lmbeciles, step aside!

What?

You call yourself

a servant of the throne?

Clear the way!

Should we die,

it must be here!

Lee's rebel forces

are charging here!

We must retreat

to stop the Japanese!

How? The royal forces

have joined Lee's rebels!

That's why we must retreat!

Your Highness!

lf you must go,

kill us first!

Let's go.

What is this?

Where is everybody?

Hey!

Get out here!

Let's fight!

You cowards!

Come out and fight!

We came all this way...

The rebel forces are here,

so come stop us!

You cowards!

Where are you?!

Where are the Japanese?

They've passed the South gate.

We will protect the palace!

lt's ours now, isn't it?!

We live together,

and die allied!

Grand Alliance!

There's nowhere else to go.

This...

This was what you left for?

What are you doing here?

Lee Mong-hak!

You took all those lives

just for that throne?

You think that will
