PREVIOUSLY ON ARTHDAL CHRONICLES:
THE SWORD OF ARAMUN
GILSEON: The king knew everything.
If Tagon is dead
AROK: Stop. Don't hurt Father.
CHAEEUN: Nunbyeol. It's a trap.
We need to run away.
- Drop the knife.
- YANGCHA: Let's escape for now.
Go to Eunseom. Go and give this to him.
Isn't your mother there?
Since when?
Thirty years.
AROK: Mother.
I will never die.
It has no smell. Is this bichwisan?
SAYA: I guess there's no way
for me to live.
TAGON: There's only one way
for you to live.
Kill Tanya.
The real one is coming. The real Aramun.
I might die here like this.
But you will die at my hands.
TAGON: Saya is dead.
So my plans have changed.
I, Tagon, King of Arthdal,
will go to war myself.
SUHANA:
Arthdal's army will pass the Arth Forest
and raid the South Gate
of Molabeol Castle.
(BIRDS TWITTERING)
All soldiers, retreat quietly.
SOLDIER: It's an ambush.
- TAGON: All soldiers, retreat.
- Do not let Tagon escape.
KARAT: Inaishingi. I think
you guys have fallen into a trap.
(ALL YELLING)
(ALL GRUNTING)
Inaishingi!
SAYA: Remember my face.
EPISODE 10: WHIRLWIND FIRE
SAYA: I might die here like this.
But you will die at my hands.
Remember
my face.
General?
TACHUKAN
Inaishingi, focus here.
(GRUNTING)
Arthdal's king is over there!
- Kill him!
- Why did you come down here?
(EUNSEOM YELLING)
Your Majesty!
(BOTH GRUNTING)
(GROANING)
SUHANA: The name of the stranger
who became Inaishingi is Eunseom.
INAISHINGI: THE AGO TRIBE'S LEGENDARY HERO
He's a Wahan from Iark.
ASA SAKAN: One day,
in the year of the singing wolf
Sword, Bell, and Mirror appeared
in the world together.
He is Saya's benetbeot,
and a Wahan who was born
on the same day and time as Tanya Niruha.
(YELLS)
(BOTH GRUNTING)
SAYA: You're fake.
No.
We are all fake.
You must've heard about
Inaishingi riding Kanmoreu.
(HELPER NEIGHING)
(YELLS)
(WHINNIES)
(HELPER WHINNYING)
(WHINNYING)
SAYA: It's not a legend.
The real one is coming.
The real Aramun.
Eunseom of the Wahan Tribe,
Saya's benetbeot,
and Inaishingi. All of them were you?
Also, I'll become the reincarnation
of Aramun Haesulla
with Kanmoreu.
(SOLDIERS GRUNTING)
Retreat!
TAKUCHAN: I'll deal with that bastard.
You retreat with the rest.
That's nonsense.
I'm not trying to save you.
Are you trying to get the others killed?
(YELLING)
Retreat!
Retreat!
(URGING HORSES)
(TAGON YELLING)
Your Majesty.
Stop! Face me!
Stop right there!
Your Majesty!
There's no need to chase them.
The armored infantry in the forest
will finish them.
I must chase after him. I must catch him!
You can't!
(GRUNTS)
(YELLING)
Do you know who he is?
- He is--
- I know!
COMMANDER YEONBAL
Inaishingi who rides Kanmoreu.
(BREATHING HEAVILY)
We cannot catch him.
I don't know why
but that really is Kanmoreu.
No.
That isn't Kanmoreu.
No.
He's not Aramun!
I am. I am Aramun!
I, Gitoha, and everyone in the Third Corps
are not following you
because you're Aramun.
(YELLS)
MANTEIV: NORTHMOST OF THE ARTH CONTINEN
NUNBYEOL: It's been about a week
since Tagon went to war.
The victor must've been decided.
CHAAEUN: It's hard for Eunseom to win.
He probably lost.
NUNBYEOL, CHAEEUN
It's not like
we were relying on them anyway.
I will find a way.
Nunbyeol.
To me, you're more important than revenge.
What about you?
Is revenge more important than me?
What do you mean?
I hate myself for acting so foolishly.
Why did I hesitate?
He's from the tribe
that killed our mother and father.
I'll never hesitate again.
I will
kill all of them.
I'm afraid I might lose you too.
What's wrong, Chaeeun? Don't do this.
I want you to leave with them.
Stop saying nonsense.
(IN OTHER LANGUAGE) There's a long way
to go until the fox flowers blossom.
ISSRUV: NEANTHAL
We need your help.
NOSUNAHO: (IN KOREAN) You're Nunbyeol?
I've heard a lot about you.
You came to us like this.
NOSUNAHO: NEANTHAL
(IN OTHER LANGUAGE)
That's not why she's here.
Don't get excited.
What do you think I am thinking?
I just thought it was nice to see her.
(IN KOREAN) Welcome.
Yes. Nice to meet you.
But the person
who came with you last time
(IN OTHER LANGUAGE) He left.
(IN KOREAN) You know Rottip.
He said everything was meaningless
no matter what happened,
but this time, he even put some makeup
on his lips before he left.
You're very fluent in Arthdal language.
The person who saved my life
and raised me was from Arthdal.
But did something happen?
- Why did Rottip leave?
- (ISSRUV SIGHS)
(IN OTHER LANGUAGE) It is said
that long ago, hundreds of winters ago,
there were brothers who got separated.
I think they're back.
(IN KOREAN) Then isn't that a good thing?
Is it related to the strange Igutus
we met that day?
I think Rottip went to find out.
Who did he go to meet?
(IN OTHER LANGUAGE)
The person who knows that
is probably
ROTTIP: NEANTHAL
(IN KOREAN) We won. We won. (LAUGHS)
The Arthdal army
defeated the Ago Tribe
in the first Arth Forest battle.
- (CROWD GASPING)
- I knew it.
Did they catch Inaishingi?
SEUCHEON - GEOMBUL
They weren't able to.
Anyway, all of the Ago Tribe ran away
to the Achi Hill.
If they're on the Achi Hill,
it's not over yet.
It means they're in the Arth Forest.
Gosh, I'm glad.
I was worried
because they were right in front of us.
What's there to worry about
when King Tagon went to war himself?
What I'm actually worried about
is that it has been many days
since High Priest Niruha came for relief.
(FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING)
What are you doing there?
What are you talking about?
(CROWD CLAMORING)
GEOMBUL: Let's go.
Let's go.
What's that?
Kids must've scribbled on the wall.
WOMAN: The drawings are pretty good.
This looks like baby Aramun Haesulla.
GIRL: Yes.
It's about
how baby Aramun Haesulla met Kanmoreu.
KANMOREU: LEGENDARY HORSE
THAT ARAMUN HAESULLA RODE
But who's this baby?
Why are there two of them?
Is Aramun a benetbeot?
BENETBEOT: TWIN
That's how children's drawings are.
Kids, let's go.
Let's go.
(WOMAN GRUNTS)
Let's go.
There's stir-fried sorghum
in the backyard. Have some.
- CHILDREN: Okay.
- Go ahead.
(DOOR OPENS, CLOSES)
You're bold to have come here.
(IN OTHER LANGUAGE) Those children
(SIGHS)
How terrible.
WOMAN: (IN KOREAN) I thought
you weren't interested in what happens.
What's this? How ominous.
I think they're here.
How incredible.
I thought you had
no emotions or feelings.
How can I get rid of others' emotions
without any myself?
To dry up, crush, and completely remove
the feelings of fear, joy, and sadness,
I must know
what those emotions are.
That is why
you're the worst gosal
GOSAL: REVENGEFUL SPIRI
in this world.
Shahati.
I thought nobody knew who Shahati was.
That's probably true for Sarams.
But she has had
a very ill-fated history with us
for a long time.
ISSRUV: (IN OTHER LANGUAGE)
When the Asa Clan first came to this land,
we were already here.
Sarams wanted to drive us out,
but they couldn't
because they were too afraid of us.
(IN KOREAN) That's why she created beings
that know no fear.
That is how
the Children of Shahati started.
And that Shahati knows something
about those strange Igutus?
(IN OTHER LANGUAGE)
If they are related to our brother
who left a long time ago, she might.
That brother left
saying he would take revenge
on Shahati one day.
(IN KOREAN) By any chance,
do you know what "Ikomahis" means?
"Ikomu," promise.
"Ahis," brother.
"Brother of promise."
It's our old language.
(SCRAPING)
EKNAD: NEANTHAL
(IN OTHER LANGUAGE) Someone had this.
If it is truly that of the legend,
we must find it and check.
Brother of promise?
GAMBAL MOUNTAIN COTTAGE
HAE YEOBI: (IN KOREAN) Lord Saya.
HAE YEOBI
HAE YEOBI: Drink this.
You must drink this
to live without any aftereffects.
You've been sleeping for a long time.
Hurry up and drink.
(SLURPING)
(GROANS)
How am I
alive?
SAYA: I definitely drank bichwisan.
HAE YEOBI:
It wasn't bichwisan, it was mahasin.
DRUG THAT MAKES YOU LOOK DEAD
FOR A SPECIFIC DURATION
Tagon must've taken the queen's mahasin
thinking it was bichwisan.
Then what about Taealha?
She's still alive, but she's confined.
Her original plan
was to drink mahasin if she failed,
and escape to the White Peak Mountain.
That's why
Asa Pil wasn't around.
She must've sent Asa Pil to the mountain.
What about Tanya?
- Is Tanya safe?
- She's confined in the Great Shrine.
(SIGHS)
So
that's how they ended up.
After the king left for the war,
Gilseon is in charge of Arthdal.
So
He went to war?
The Ago Tribe took over Molabeol Castle,
and there seems to have been a battle
in Arth Forest.
The Arth Forest?
With a fast horse,
it would take one to two days.
For the first battle, Arthdal won.
The Ago army is isolated in the Achi Hill
and is confronting them
It will take time,
but it will be over soon.
It probably will.
How did the war go? Did we win or lose?
What about Tagon? Is he safe?
Pardon?
Well
(SIGHS)
(DOOR LOCKS)
Eunseom hasn't been captured,
but everyone says the fight is over.
From Doti
MOA
People can recognize baby Aramun
just from the drawings.
TANYA: Is that so?
I wonder how far
the Whisper Organization has spread.
I'm not sure.
About 50 people?
Or it could be 100 people.
I also can't wait to find out
how far your thoughts have traveled.
Is the queen still confined?
Yes, Niruha.
They are keeping it quiet,
but everyone knows.
Are you curious about Aramun's next story?
Of course.
The first descendant of Asa Sin
to the second descendant of Asa Sin.
(WHISPERS INDISTINCTLY)
AGAJI
(DUNJI GASPS)
Isn't this about Eunseom?
DUNJI: THE WAHAN TRIBE, SCRIBE - YEOLSON
It is.
MUNGTAE
This is the Great Black Cliff,
this is the Lonicera Flower Forest,
and this
Isn't this that horse?
I think so.
DUNJI: Why is something like this
happening now?
Pretend you don't know.
We don't know anything.
Yeolson. Yeolson.
(SPITS)
(CHUCKLES) I really don't understand.
BAKRYANGPUNG
You aren't dragging me
to the military division
nor are you letting me go.
What do you want?
It's Aramun Haesulla.
- Is it his birth story?
- Bakryangpung.
Didn't you try
to find the real Aramun Haesulla?
Of course. Because Tagon
is fake.
That was why Mubaek, Lord Saya,
and Niruha tried to dethrone Tagon.
If the true reincarnation of Aramun
is Inaishingi
will you be able to accept that?
Just kill me. Kill me!
TACHUKAN
Even if you tear my body
into nine pieces
and feed them to the fish,
it will not make me open my mouth.
You lot will be cursed by the waterfall.
Your limbs will become fins
TAE DACHI
your skin will rot
and become food for maggots!
Just kill me!
(MUFFLED YELLING)
You will not find out anything from us.
We have nothing to find out.
We have nothing, you idiot.
Your Ago Tribe is isolated
on the Achi Hill.
All supplies have been cut off
and they're totally surrounded.
(YELLS)
Crushing the Ago Tribe
and catching Inaishingi?
That's going to be a breeze.
Then why are you keeping us alive?
The king seems to have a use for you.
(TAKUCHAN YELLING)
GITOHA: That's enough.
Don't waste your energy.
Okay?
Right.
You were pretty good with your sword.
Yes.
- (TAKUCHAN SCREAMING)
- (GITOHA LAUGHING)
YEONBAL: Your Majesty.
We blocked off the way back to Molabeol
as per your orders.
Now, the Ago Tribe is like a bug
that won't even leave a trace
when stepped on.
- So--
- The soldiers saw it too, right?
Eunseom's face.
I told them they were a benetbeot.
I told them the general
and Inaishingi worked together
to start the rebellion
and fooled the king and all of us.
They weren't very shaken.
Is it
really Kanmoreu?
Why do you need
something like Kanmoreu?
I'm the reincarnation of Aramun.
Why wouldn't I need it?
Why did you name this sword
the Sword of Seed?
Because it is the beginning
of destruction, slaughter,
and great prosperity.
So I dared to hope
that it would be the beginning
of the name, Tagon,
instead of the reincarnation
of an old legend
for you.
Forgive me.
I crossed the line.
GITOHA: Hey, Yeonbal.
How is the king?
He will overcome it.
So what you saw last time was true.
You said you saw a slave
who looked just like the general.
But how did he become Inaishingi?
I'm disappointed in Airuju.
AIRUJU: THE HIGHEST GOD OF ARTH
How could he send Kanmoreu to Inaishingi?
(SIGHS)
No. We can take him back.
Yes. Hey.
Let's ask him to attack now.
What's the use of
just surrounding them all day?
The path to get in there is too narrow
for a large army to attack at once.
We need to find a way
to make them crawl out.
Our damage will increase.
Yes, the damage on our side would be huge.
But we won't lose!
(FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING)
How did it go?
It's almost done.
You must've worked really hard. Good job.
I'm thinking hard about
how we should let Ago know about this.
(LAUGHING)
We are completely surrounded indeed.
DALSAE: The path back to Molabeol
has the most soldiers.
MIRUSOL: More than 40% of our soldiers
are dead or unable to fight.
Tachukan and Dachi
have either been caught
or are dead.
Arthdal has
three times more soldiers than us.
IPSAENG
But we can't keep doing this
without supplies.
We must put an end to this.
- Time isn't on our side.
- Nor is it on their side.
Inaishingi. Arthdal sent a messenger.
I remember when I first saw you.
Yes, it was in Doldambul.
You were a slave.
How do I look?
Do I look exactly like your general?
Our general?
He's a traitor now.
Both you and him are Arthdal's enemies.
Are we the only ones?
Everyone in this continent,
excluding Arthdal, is your enemy.
We cut off all waterways to the Achi Hill.
You'll notice it in a few days, but he
told me to inform you first as a courtesy.
So, do you want us to surrender?
We, Ago, are the warriors of forests.
Can warriors of forests live
without water?
Sucking tree sap and drinking dew?
As each day passes,
you will become weaker by the day,
and after ten days,
you will become much weaker,
regardless of what you are.
Are you here to see
how much I can endure it?
If that's your aim,
my answer is beheading you
and sending your head to Tagon.
King Tagon wishes to meet you.
Tomorrow at sunset, he wishes to meet you
without any troops, except two escorts
on both sides.
He wants something from us.
That is why he cut off the waterways.
Yes.
What will you do?
There's no doubt.
You look so alike.
EUNSEOM: Don't tell me
you were still doubting
that Saya and I are brothers.
I'm not talking about Saya.
Ragaz.
The Neanthal who died
during the Great Hunt.
Ragaz, the Great Hunter.
He fought really well.
He terrorized us until the day he died,
and many countless Daekan comrades died
because of him.
What about that Neanthal?
He is you and Saya's
father.
He is
my father?
He was a great warrior.
Much better than you.
What happened to him?
I
I
I
shot his neck with an arrow.
Dozens of Daekan warriors
rushed to him immediately
and hacked at him with all their might.
Clear blue blood spewed out
like a waterfall.
It's vivid
although it happened a long time ago.
(SIGHS)
It was unspeakably miserable.
(SOBS GENTLY)
EUNSEOM: Still
I'm sure it wasn't as miserable a death
as your father, Sanung,
who was killed by his own son.
Since you witnessed both, think about it.
Whose death was more miserable?
At the moment of their deaths,
who do you think felt
more terrible?
You're trying to become Aramun Haesulla?
I'm not trying to.
- I will become it.
- That's what I thought too.
No, I'm different from you.
What's different?
You want to become something,
but I want to do something.
You do something to become Aramun,
but I want to become Aramun
to do something.
What is that something?
A world where being weak isn't a sin.
The world
where being powerless isn't a sin.
That kind of world won't happen
even after 10,000 years.
EUNSEOM: But I'll keep going.
What's important is the direction.
Your goal ends with your death.
But the path I take
will stretch endlessly beyond my death.
Fighting with you
even after your death sounds horrible.
So try to live.
I'll open the path for you to survive.
- You will?
- I'll clear the troops in front
of the Pine Tree Forest
at the north of the Achi Hill.
When my soldiers withdraw,
come out of there
and retreat to Molabeol Castle.
Let's decide the victor after that.
You think I'll believe that?
I hope you're different from Saya.
I showed Saya the way to live too.
I told him I would let him live
if he killed Tanya.
Since I raised Saya differently,
I thought he'd be different
from you and your father,
but in the end, he was the same.
I guess you can't fool blood.
Saya chose death without hesitation.
What about you?
Will you be any different?
Stop with your nonsense.
What do you want from us?
Hand over Suhana
and Kanmoreu.
Then I will open up the way.
And Tachukan and Dachi?
I'll hand over your subordinates too.
They're alive?
Do you want to keep the name
of the reincarnation of Aramun that badly?
Do you think you'll become the owner
of that name just by having Kanmoreu?
TAGON: You don't know anything!
You have no idea
what that name means to me
or how many people I have killed,
and what kind of blood I've shed
for that one name!
You're just trying to pick the name
off someone and make it your own,
so you cannot say that.
You are
tightly bound to that name.
How pitiful.
Two days later.
Here, before the sun sets.
If you have any other choice, try it.
DALSAE: So they are alive.
Tachukan and Dachi.
Suhana, that yeomari, is one thing,
but handing over the horse of the heavens
is strategically
Our warriors will be demoralized too.
Then should we just let them die
when we know they're alive?
MIRUSOL: If Tachukan discovers
he was exchanged with the horse,
he'll try to kill himself.
IPSAENG: That's not the issue.
He said he'd open up the path to Molabeol.
Can we trust him or not?
I mean, must he go this far for the horse?
DALSAE
Because he's crazy over Aramun.
Even I believe that.
CHOMO: So the horse of the heavens
is Kanmoreu, right?
And that is the symbol of Aramun.
Why are you silent?
Karat.
BADORU: That bastard said this once.
The one who blocks flowing water
will be eternally unfortunate.
Who? Tagon?
Is it?
It's not like I want to believe him.
Damn it.
ARTHDAL PALACE
JEUNGSUGAE: It's not a big deal.
The queen must be getting a massage
from that servant.
JEUNGSUGAE
I'm saying this as that servant
ROYAL GUARD HEAD GILSEON
went in yesterday
and hasn't come out until now.
A guard who went in today morning
hasn't come out either.
A guard?
Yes.
- The door is locked from the inside.
- If he was a guard
CHOJAHA
he must've gone in with a sword.
The queen can subdue a guard easily
without a sword.
Still, it's impossible to escape
from the rooftop prison.
There are soldiers on each staircase,
and many are guarding the doors too.
What if she wasn't planning to escape
but commit suicide?
The queen has already tried
to take bichwisan once.
The queen's swordsmanship
is better than most commanders.
Everyone, be alert and put your guards up.
- Yes, sir!
- GILSEON: Start.
(BREATHING HEAVILY)
She's still alive.
Move her quickly. Now!
Hurry up and inform the yakbachis too.
YAKBACHI: DOCTOR
YAKBACHI: Be careful.
I must tear her clothes to see the wound.
Everyone, leave.
GILSEON: Still, I cannot leave her alone.
You two, stay.
BOTH: Yes, sir.
(DOOR CLOSES)
If the queen dies,
we'll be held accountable.
Don't even say that.
That will never happen.
Who are you?
You knew that I was fine.
But why?
High Priest Niruha
wishes for you to escape.
Tanya?
Things went well
because you made the first move.
We were actually planning
to do something tonight.
- Who are you?
- We are just descendants of Asa Sin.
ASA SIN: ARTHDAL'S LEGENDARY SACRED MOTHER
You, slaves, and I alike.
- What?
- Niruha said names are what bind us.
I am also bound by many names,
but for now,
I'll help you under the name
of the 938th descendant of Asa Sin.
(PANTING) How did it go?
She's still alive.
But we can't be sure.
If something really happens, we'll all
We'll all what?
I mean, the queen
is the Royal Guard's responsibility.
Is that what's important right now?
That's the truth.
(DOOR OPENS)
The queen has escaped.
(CHOJAHA EXCLAIMS)
JEUNGSUGAE: This is terrible.
MOA: It went according to your order.
The queen has escaped.
It's a mess outside, Niruha.
It worked. Did she leave Arthdal?
I don't think she's left the castle,
but it seems she hasn't been caught.
AGAJI: Niruha, what are you trying to do?
Why did you help the queen?
The queen will try to leave Arthdal
and go to the White Peak Mountain.
That must've been her original plan.
Yes, so you should escape
before the king returns too.
DOTI
Doti, how did you come here?
I barely made it here after you called me.
I told you to take over the hearts
of a few people and treat them well.
I'm communicating with them as you said.
Among them,
pick three people who are most faithful.
- Then
- TANYA: I will pick
three people who are currently
the pillars of Arthdal.
Niruha.
What do you mean?
In this Arthdal, where Tagon is at war
and Taealha has left,
if we knock down those three pillars,
Arthdal
will collapse.
HAE YEOBI: Let's go, Your Highness.
This must be Tanya, right?
Probably.
Can you tell what Tanya is trying to do?
I don't know what it is,
but since she's alive,
she's doing something.
We should do something too.
TAEALHA: What about Saya?
He is recovering.
I'm back.
It was just like you said, Inaishingi.
What is it?
From here to all the way here
is the Pine Tree Forest.
But the trees are wounded
and resin is flowing out.
Someone did that on purpose.
MIRUSOL: What?
What's that? What is wrong with that?
EUNSEOM: Tagon
has no intention of
clearing the way for us.
This is where we will exchange captives.
This is the path Tagon said he'd clear.
So?
It's a northeast wind.
Moreover, with resin,
imagine how easily
they would catch on fire.
Fire attack.
Is that what you mean?
Tagon must be planning to drive us
into the Pine Tree Forest
and annihilate us in a sea of fire.
IPSAENG: Bastard.
And the time he wanted to meet
happened to be during the sunset.
That's right.
When the sun sets here,
the northeast wind gets stronger.
We have no choice.
Let's fight them head-on towards Molabeol.
DALSAE: We've already lost
half of our troops.
Arthdal has three times
more soldiers than us.
Why not attack them with fire first?
We're facing the wind.
How can we attack with fire
when we are the ones facing the wind?
No, we can, as long as we lure them
to the direction of the wind.
IPSAENG: But how?
They already know the wind's direction
for the attack.
They won't come to its direction.
It's impossible.
Then what is possible?
Should we just suck the tree sap,
endure it, and die?
Here. The Amdol Mountain,
the north of the Achi Hill.
They must have have less soldiers here.
Why don't we escape through here?
We may be good at getting around
mountains and forests,
but there's no way
we can go through it with a huge army.
This place is surrounded with cliffs.
Not exactly cliffs.
They're very steep slopes.
Not everyone can hike like you.
Inaishingi, I brought her.
What are you going to do with me now?
Wherever you are,
wherever you go,
come back to me,
Helper.
Inaishingi, I
Tagon
wants you.
He said he would open up a path
if I handed you and Helper over.
What's your relationship with Tagon?
Is it so deep that
the king looks after you himself?
A very long time ago,
we met when King Tagon was very young.
I served a danggeuri
of the Saenyeok Tribe.
DANGGEURI: SHAMAN
And Sanung hid Tagon, an Igutu, there.
We grew up together.
Then there was someone I secretly dated
and he saw Tagon's purple blood.
The danggeuri had to kill everyone
because my lover was
from the White Mountain Tribe,
and if it became known,
it would have been over.
So did you run away?
Yes, with Tagon too.
Because the danggeuri
tried to kill Tagon too.
My lover
saved both of us and died.
No, he saved three.
The baby in my womb.
Yangcha.
SUHANA: After that,
there were a lot more ups and downs.
Tagon saved Yangcha
who was taken by Shahati.
He saved my life as well.
(SIGHS SOFTLY)
I guess even Tagon
doesn't want to sacrifice
his precious ones.
Do you need to sacrifice someone
in this battle?
In the end, the name, Inaishingi
is the price you need to pay
by sacrificing your precious ones
because you need
to protect a lot more people.
It must be dreadful.
But you must endure it in your place.
- Tagon as well--
- Stop.
You're not my advisor anymore.
MIRUSOL: That's the way to death.
If the land gets hot in this season,
a huge whirlwind fire might start.
DALSAE: What? Whirlwind fire?
- What's that now?
- (SIGHS) What should I say?
You'll know when you see it.
It's extremely disastrous.
(SCOFFS)
Dalsae, who wants
to attack with fire first.
Mirusol, who says we can't attack
with fire facing the wind.
Tae Maja, who wants to lure them
to the direction of the wind.
Ipsaeng, who says there is no way
to lure them.
Everyone is right.
So I'll follow everyone's opinion.
What do you mean?
If we cannot lure the enemies
nor change the direction of the wind,
there's only one thing we can change.
Our location.
IPSAENG: Inaishingi.
If an army crosses the Amdol Mountain,
they will find out soon.
They'll attack us from both sides
at the end of the mountain.
Not a big army. A small group.
A small number of elites will set fire
at the back of the enemies.
We'll attack with fire
from the other side.
(GENTLE GASPS)
If we can set fire
behind the enemies' backs,
they'll be in the direction of the wind.
If we succeed,
where they are
will become the sea of fire.
They'll be the ones
to face the whirlwind fire.
Of course, it could fail.
Even if it succeeds,
the lives of the warriors
who go to the back
won't be guaranteed.
Will you do it?
Cross the mountain before the sun rises,
ambush the enemies from behind,
and wait for the northeast wind.
Whether you succeed or fail,
we cannot send a rescue force.
AMDOL MOUNTAIN
(BREATHING HEAVILY)
ARTH FOREST, SOUTH
(BIRDS CALLING)
(SIGHS, SNIFFLES)
You made the wise choice.
I'll have to see the results first
to know that.
Send Kanmoreu here first.
I will send Tachukan.
TAKUCHAN: Inaishingi.
How can you hand over
the horse of heavens to save us?
Stop it. You shouldn't.
I'll just die.
You have a subordinate who's willing
to die for you.
You must be happy.
Does it make you happy?
Both Suhana over there and Tachukan
are willing to die for you and me.
Does that
really make you happy?
I see.
That's why you made it to that place.
It's painful.
It's excruciatingly painful
that I'll curse everything I have.
But showing that pain
is cowardly.
I sacrifice them willingly,
confidently, and ruthlessly,
no matter what pain I feel alone.
ARTH FOREST, NORTH,
THE REAR OF ARTHDAL TROOPS' CAMP

MAN: What?
Ago's ambushing us!
What is it?
(BREATHING HEAVILY)
Everyone, hurry up!
(BLOWING)
GITOHA: Over there!
(SOLDIERS YELLING)
Is this really Kanmoreu?
Why?
Do you really feel like
you've become Aramun?
Aramun?
I told you, when we met in Arthdal,
that everyone is acting in front of us
and that you should not trust anyone.
I said everyone. Everyone!
Did you think I didn't count?
(HELPER WHINNIES)
Helper!
TAGON: You believed your enemy
like a fool!
Did I look like I was crazy over Aramun?
Aramun!
I don't need stuff like that.
I was bound by that name
and wandered for too long.
I am Tagon!
There was nothing else
to add to this name.
I will break off that chain today.
- (GASPS)
- TAGON: Don't be surprised.
All of you will die together today.
MIRUSOL: Tagon!
Send Dachi here!
I'll kill her!
Sister.
(SOBS SOFTLY)
Your Majesty.
I'm sorry.
In the name of Inaishingi!
EUNSEOM: Stop, Tagon!

Stop there!
(BOTH YELLING)
Your Majesty, you shouldn't!
(YELLS)
Your Majesty, we should leave.
Tagon!
MIRUSOL: Inaishingi.
We must leave.
(BREATHING HEAVILY)
(YELLS)
Stop them! We must stop them!
(WIND GUSTING)
Great warriors of Arthdal.
We will drive the beasts of Ago
into the northern Pine Tree Forest,
set fire to it,
and offer them to Airuju!
- Yeonbal!
- Armored infantry!
Step forward!
Veterans, forward!
Charge!
(SOLDIERS YELL)
Are you safe, Inaishingi?
EUNSEOM: What about Tae Maja?
No signal from the back yet?
No.
I think they failed.
TAKUCHAN: Gosh, hey.
Untie me.
Inaishingi, Arthdal's army is coming.
East of Yangdaegil and north of Jemakgil
- are full of armored soldiers.
- It was just as expected.
Yes. Let's retreat
to the south of the Pine Tree Forest--
EUNSEOM: If Tae Maja failed,
that plan is useless.
But other than that
- You'll lead them.
- Pardon?
If we go in to the forest like this,
we'll be annihilated.
That's why we made preparations
on the south of the Pine Tree Forest.
If we can't set fire to the enemy's rear,
- it's useless.
- IPSAENG: So?
You'll break through the enemies
to set the fires?
- That's nonsense!
- MIRUSOL: He's right.
- BADORU: You must never.
- DALSAE: You can't go, Inaishingi.
That's ridiculous.
Believe in me!
I will set fire
to the bottom of the Amdol Mountain,
behind the enemies' rear.
- But--
- Just like how you believed
in Inaishingi who jumped
into the waterfall 200 years ago,
believe me. Believe me,
retreat to the south as we planned,
and get ready.
IPSAENG: Eunseom.
Inaishingi's life isn't yours.
Yes, you're right.
But so is Tagon!
I should sacrifice someone else.
I should do it willingly!
But if the Ago's army gets annihilated
and Inaishingi survives alone
that's not Inaishingi anymore.
On this battlefield,
there are no superior or inferior lives.
I can do it best!
I'll prepare a horse.
I'll go through the radius.
I don't need a horse.
Then I'll escort you.
I'm coming with you too, Inaishingi.
All forces,
retreat to the Pine Tree Forest!
ALL: Yes, sir!
MAN: The main squad of the Ago
is being chased by the armored infantry
and are headed to the Pine Tree Forest.
Pressure them with veterans from the east
so they won't escape through Galgaetgol.
I will relay the message to them,
Your Majesty.
(WIND GUSTING)
The Pine Tree Forest will be turned
into a sea of fire now.
- Get ready.
- Yes, Your Majesty.
DUPA: Your Majesty!
There's a report saying someone who looks
like Inaishingi is heading north.
There are three of them.
Inaishingi jumped into our territory?
He might be trying to lure our troops.
Tell the front line to stop them,
and the rest to stay calm
and stick to the original plan.
Yes, Your Majesty.
(SOLDIERS YELLING)
(ALL GRUNTING)
(BLOOD SPLATTERS)
Go quickly, Inaishingi.
(SOLDIERS YELLING)
Go now!
(TAKUCHAN GRUNTING)
(GROANING)
Hey.
It's all over.
So you tried to set fire here.
Yes. It was an amazing strategy,
but it failed.
I'll spare your life.
Give me that.
Give me that!
Kill him.

We're in the direction of the wind now.
We must escape. Give us the order now!

TANYA: Only High Priest Asa Tanya
is left in Arthdal.
I wish to open the new sky of Arthdal.
SAYA: You want to take over Arthdal
and give it to Eunseom
by turning Inaishingi into Aramun?
SODANG:
Following the High Priest is treason!
CHOJAHA: When there's a storm,
even the worst enemies
have to row together.
I will follow the queen and fight!
TAEALHA: We must drag Asa Tanya,
the wicked fake Asa Sin,

We need to run away.

Go to Eunseom. Go and give this to him.
Isn't your mother there?
Since when?
Thirty years.
AROK: Mother.
I will never die.
It has no smell. Is this bichwisan?
SAYA: I guess there's no way
for me to live.
TAGON: There's only one way
for you to live.
Kill Tanya.
The real one is coming. The real Aramun.
I might die here like this.
But you will die at my hands.
TAGON: Saya is dead.
So my plans have changed.
I, Tagon, King of Arthdal,
will go to war myself.
SUHANA:
Arthdal's army will pass the Arth Forest

He's a Wahan from Iark.
ASA SAKAN: One day,

You can't!

Do you know who he is?
- He is--

COMMANDER YEONBAL
Inaishingi who rides Kanmoreu.
(BREATHING HEAVILY)
We cannot catch him.
I don't know why
but that really is Kanmoreu.
No.
That isn't Kanmoreu.
No.
He's not Aramun!

MANTEIV: NORTHMOST OF THE ARTH CONTINEN
NUNBYEOL: It's been about a week

The victor must've been decided.
CHAAEUN: It's hard for Eunseom to win.
He probably lost.
NUNBYEOL, CHAEEUN
It's not like
we were relying on them anyway.
I will find a way.
Nunbyeol.
To me, you're more important than revenge.
What about you?
Is revenge more important than me?
What do you mean?
I hate myself for acting so foolishly.
Why did I hesitate?
He's from the tribe
that killed our mother and father.
I'll never hesitate again.
I will
kill all of them.
I'm afraid I might lose you too.
What's wrong, Chaeeun? Don't do this.
I want you to leave with them.
Stop saying nonsense.
(IN OTHER LANGUAGE) There's a long way
to go until the fox flowers blossom.
ISSRUV: NEANTHAL
We need your help.
NOSUNAHO: (IN KOREAN) You're Nunbyeol?
I've heard a lot about you.
You came to us like this.
NOSUNAHO: NEANTHAL
(IN OTHER LANGUAGE)
That's not why she's here.
Don't get excited.
What do you think I am thinking?
I just thought it was nice to see her.
(IN KOREAN) Welcome.
Yes. Nice to meet you.
But the person
who came with you last time
(IN OTHER LANGUAGE) He left.
(IN KOREAN) You know Rottip.
He said everything was meaningless
no matter what happened,
but this time, he even put some makeup
on his lips before he left.
You're very fluent in Arthdal language.
The person who saved my life
and raised me was from Arthdal.
But did something happen?
- Why did Rottip leave?
- (ISSRUV SIGHS)
(IN OTHER LANGUAGE) It is said
that long ago, hundreds of winters ago,
there were brothers who got separated.
I think they're back.
(IN KOREAN) Then isn't that a good thing?
Is it related to the strange Igutus
we met that day?
I think Rottip went to find out.
Who did he go to meet?
(IN OTHER LANGUAGE)
The person who knows that
is probably
ROTTIP: NEANTHAL
(IN KOREAN) We won. We won. (LAUGHS)
The Arthdal army
defeated the Ago Tribe
in the first Arth Forest battle.
- (CROWD GASPING)
- I knew it.
Did they catch Inaishingi?
SEUCHEON - GEOMBUL
They weren't able to.
Anyway, all of the Ago Tribe ran away
to the Achi Hill.
If they're on the Achi Hill,
it's not over yet.
It means they're in the Arth Forest.
Gosh, I'm glad.
I was worried
because they were right in front of us.
What's there to worry about
when King Tagon went to war himself?
What I'm actually worried about
is that it has been many days
since High Priest Niruha came for relief.
(FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING)
What are you doing there?
What are you talking about?
(CROWD CLAMORING)
GEOMBUL: Let's go.
Let's go.
What's that?
Kids must've scribbled on the wall.
WOMAN: The drawings are pretty good.
This looks like baby Aramun Haesulla.
GIRL: Yes.
It's about
how baby Aramun Haesulla met Kanmoreu.
KANMOREU: LEGENDARY HORSE
THAT ARAMUN HAESULLA RODE
But who's this baby?
Why are there two of them?
Is Aramun a benetbeot?
BENETBEOT: TWIN
That's how children's drawings are.
Kids, let's go.
Let's go.
(WOMAN GRUNTS)
Let's go.
There's stir-fried sorghum
in the backyard. Have some.
- CHILDREN: Okay.
- Go ahead.
(DOOR OPENS, CLOSES)
You're bold to have come here.
(IN OTHER LANGUAGE) Those children
(SIGHS)
How terrible.
WOMAN: (IN KOREAN) I thought
you weren't interested in what happens.
What's this? How ominous.
I think they're here.
How incredible.
I thought you had
no emotions or feelings.
How can I get rid of others' emotions
without any myself?
To dry up, crush, and completely remove
the feelings of fear, joy, and sadness,
I must know
what those emotions are.
That is why
you're the worst gosal
GOSAL: REVENGEFUL SPIRI
in this world.
Shahati.
I thought nobody knew who Shahati was.
That's probably true for Sarams.
But she has had
a very ill-fated history with us
for a long time.
ISSRUV: (IN OTHER LANGUAGE)
When the Asa Clan first came to this land,
we were already here.
Sarams wanted to drive us out,
but they couldn't
because they were too afraid of us.
(IN KOREAN) That's why she created beings
that know no fear.
That is how
the Children of Shahati started.
And that Shahati knows something
about those strange Igutus?
(IN OTHER LANGUAGE)
If they are related to our brother
who left a long time ago, she might.
That brother left
saying he would take revenge
on Shahati one day.
(IN KOREAN) By any chance,
do you know what "Ikomahis" means?
"Ikomu," promise.
"Ahis," brother.
"Brother of promise."
It's our old language.
(SCRAPING)
EKNAD: NEANTHAL
(IN OTHER LANGUAGE) Someone had this.
If it is truly that of the legend,
we must find it and check.
Brother of promise?
GAMBAL MOUNTAIN COTTAGE
HAE YEOBI: (IN KOREAN) Lord Saya.
HAE YEOBI
HAE YEOBI: Drink this.
You must drink this
to live without any aftereffects.
You've been sleeping for a long time.
Hurry up and drink.
(SLURPING)
(GROANS)
How am I
alive?
SAYA: I definitely drank bichwisan.
HAE YEOBI:
It wasn't bichwisan, it was mahasin.
DRUG THAT MAKES YOU LOOK DEAD
FOR A SPECIFIC DURATION
Tagon must've taken the queen's mahasin
thinking it was bichwisan.
Then what about Taealha?
She's still alive, but she's confined.
Her original plan
was to drink mahasin if she failed,
and escape to the White Peak Mountain.
That's why
Asa Pil wasn't around.
She must've sent Asa Pil to the mountain.
What about Tanya?
- Is Tanya safe?
- She's confined in the Great Shrine.
(SIGHS)
So
that's how they ended up.
After the king left for the war,
Gilseon is in charge of Arthdal.
So
He went to war?
The Ago Tribe took over Molabeol Castle,
and there seems to have been a battle
in Arth Forest.
The Arth Forest?
With a fast horse,
it would take one to two days.
For the first battle, Arthdal won.
The Ago army is isolated in the Achi Hill
and is confronting them
It will take time,
but it will be over soon.
It probably will.
How did the war go? Did we win or lose?
What about Tagon? Is he safe?
Pardon?
Well
(SIGHS)
(DOOR LOCKS)
Eunseom hasn't been captured,
but everyone says the fight is over.
From Doti
MOA
People can recognize baby Aramun
just from the drawings.
TANYA: Is that so?
I wonder how far
the Whisper Organization has spread.
I'm not sure.
About 50 people?
Or it could be 100 people.
I also can't wait to find out
how far your thoughts have traveled.
Is the queen still confined?
Yes, Niruha.
They are keeping it quiet,
but everyone knows.
Are you curious about Aramun's next story?
Of course.
The first descendant of Asa Sin
to the second descendant of Asa Sin.
(WHISPERS INDISTINCTLY)

(DUNJI GASPS)
Isn't this about Eunseom?
DUNJI: THE WAHAN TRIBE, SCRIBE - YEOLSON
It is.

This is the Great Black Cliff,
this is the Lonicera Flower Forest,
and this
Isn't this that horse?
I think so.
DUNJI: Why is something like this
happening now?
Pretend you don't know.
We don't know anything.
Yeolson. Yeolson.
(SPITS)
(CHUCKLES) I really don't understand.
BAKRYANGPUNG
You aren't dragging me
to the military division
nor are you letting me go.
What do you want?
It's Aramun Haesulla.
- Is it his birth story?
- Bakryangpung.
Didn't you try
to find the real Aramun Haesulla?
Of course. Because Tagon
is fake.
That was why Mubaek, Lord Saya,
and Niruha tried to dethrone Tagon.
If the true reincarnation of Aramun
is Inaishingi
will you be able to accept that?
Just kill me. Kill me!
TACHUKAN
Even if you tear my body
into nine pieces
and feed them to the fish,
it will not make me open my mouth.
You lot will be cursed by the waterfall.
Your limbs will become fins
TAE DACHI
your skin will rot
and become food for maggots!
Just kill me!
(MUFFLED YELLING)
You will not find out anything from us.
We have nothing to find out.
We have nothing, you idiot.
Your Ago Tribe is isolated
on the Achi Hill.
All supplies have been cut off
and they're totally surrounded.
(YELLS)
Crushing the Ago Tribe
and catching Inaishingi?
That's going to be a breeze.
Then why are you keeping us alive?
The king seems to have a use for you.
(TAKUCHAN YELLING)
GITOHA: That's enough.
Don't waste your energy.
Okay?
Right.
You were pretty good with your sword.
Yes.
- (TAKUCHAN SCREAMING)
- (GITOHA LAUGHING)
YEONBAL: Your Majesty.
We blocked off the way back to Molabeol
as per your orders.
Now, the Ago Tribe is like a bug
that won't even leave a trace
when stepped on.
- So--
- The soldiers saw it too, right?
Eunseom's face.
I told them they were a benetbeot.
I told them the general
and Inaishingi worked together
to start the rebellion
and fooled the king and all of us.
They weren't very shaken.
Is it
really Kanmoreu?
Why do you need
something like Kanmoreu?
I'm the reincarnation of Aramun.
Why wouldn't I need it?
Why did you name this sword
the Sword of Seed?
Because it is the beginning
of destruction, slaughter,
and great prosperity.
So I dared to hope
that it would be the beginning
of the name, Tagon,
instead of the reincarnation
of an old legend
for you.
Forgive me.
I crossed the line.
GITOHA: Hey, Yeonbal.
How is the king?
He will overcome it.
So what you saw last time was true.
You said you saw a slave
who looked just like the general.
But how did he become Inaishingi?
I'm disappointed in Airuju.
AIRUJU: THE HIGHEST GOD OF ARTH
How could he send Kanmoreu to Inaishingi?
(SIGHS)
No. We can take him back.
Yes. Hey.
Let's ask him to attack now.
What's the use of
just surrounding them all day?
The path to get in there is too narrow
for a large army to attack at once.
We need to find a way
to make them crawl out.
Our damage will increase.
Yes, the damage on our side would be huge.
But we won't lose!
(FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING)
How did it go?
It's almost done.
You must've worked really hard. Good job.
I'm thinking hard about
how we should let Ago know about this.
(LAUGHING)
We are completely surrounded indeed.
DALSAE: The path back to Molabeol
has the most soldiers.
MIRUSOL: More than 40% of our soldiers
are dead or unable to fight.
Tachukan and Dachi
have either been caught
or are dead.
Arthdal has
three times more soldiers than us.
IPSAENG
But we can't keep doing this
without supplies.
We must put an end to this.
- Time isn't on our side.
- Nor is it on their side.
Inaishingi. Arthdal sent a messenger.
I remember when I first saw you.
Yes, it was in Doldambul.
You were a slave.
How do I look?
Do I look exactly like your general?
Our general?
He's a traitor now.
Both you and him are Arthdal's enemies.
Are we the only ones?
Everyone in this continent,
excluding Arthdal, is your enemy.
We cut off all waterways to the Achi Hill.
You'll notice it in a few days, but he
told me to inform you first as a courtesy.
So, do you want us to surrender?
We, Ago, are the warriors of forests.
Can warriors of forests live
without water?
Sucking tree sap and drinking dew?
As each day passes,
you will become weaker by the day,
and after ten days,
you will become much weaker,
regardless of what you are.
Are you here to see
how much I can endure it?
If that's your aim,
my answer is beheading you
and sending your head to Tagon.
King Tagon wishes to meet you.
Tomorrow at sunset, he wishes to meet you
without any troops, except two escorts
on both sides.
He wants something from us.
That is why he cut off the waterways.
Yes.
What will you do?
There's no doubt.
You look so alike.
EUNSEOM: Don't tell me
you were still doubting
that Saya and I are brothers.
I'm not talking about Saya.
Ragaz.
The Neanthal who died
during the Great Hunt.
Ragaz, the Great Hunter.
He fought really well.
He terrorized us until the day he died,
and many countless Daekan comrades died
because of him.
What about that Neanthal?
He is you and Saya's
father.
He is
my father?
He was a great warrior.
Much better than you.
What happened to him?
I
I
I
shot his neck with an arrow.
Dozens of Daekan warriors
rushed to him immediately
and hacked at him with all their might.
Clear blue blood spewed out
like a waterfall.
It's vivid
although it happened a long time ago.
(SIGHS)
It was unspeakably miserable.
(SOBS GENTLY)
EUNSEOM: Still
I'm sure it wasn't as miserable a death
as your father, Sanung,
who was killed by his own son.
Since you witnessed both, think about it.
Whose death was more miserable?
At the moment of their deaths,
who do you think felt
more terrible?
You're trying to become Aramun Haesulla?
I'm not trying to.
- I will become it.
- That's what I thought too.
No, I'm different from you.
What's different?
You want to become something,
but I want to do something.
You do something to become Aramun,
but I want to become Aramun
to do something.
What is that something?
A world where being weak isn't a sin.
The world
where being powerless isn't a sin.
That kind of world won't happen
even after 10,000 years.
EUNSEOM: But I'll keep going.
What's important is the direction.
Your goal ends with your death.
But the path I take
will stretch endlessly beyond my death.
Fighting with you
even after your death sounds horrible.
So try to live.
I'll open the path for you to survive.
- You will?
- I'll clear the troops in front
of the Pine Tree Forest
at the north of the Achi Hill.
When my soldiers withdraw,
come out of there
and retreat to Molabeol Castle.
Let's decide the victor after that.
You think I'll believe that?
I hope you're different from Saya.
I showed Saya the way to live too.
I told him I would let him live
if he killed Tanya.
Since I raised Saya differently,
I thought he'd be different
from you and your father,
but in the end, he was the same.
I guess you can't fool blood.
Saya chose death without hesitation.
What about you?
Will you be any different?
Stop with your nonsense.
What do you want from us?
Hand over Suhana
and Kanmoreu.
Then I will open up the way.
And Tachukan and Dachi?
I'll hand over your subordinates too.
They're alive?
Do you want to keep the name
of the reincarnation of Aramun that badly?
Do you think you'll become the owner
of that name just by having Kanmoreu?
TAGON: You don't know anything!
You have no idea
what that name means to me
or how many people I have killed,
and what kind of blood I've shed
for that one name!
You're just trying to pick the name
off someone and make it your own,
so you cannot say that.
You are
tightly bound to that name.
How pitiful.
Two days later.
Here, before the sun sets.
If you have any other choice, try it.
DALSAE: So they are alive.
Tachukan and Dachi.
Suhana, that yeomari, is one thing,
but handing over the horse of the heavens
is strategically
Our warriors will be demoralized too.
Then should we just let them die
when we know they're alive?
MIRUSOL: If Tachukan discovers
he was exchanged with the horse,
he'll try to kill himself.
IPSAENG: That's not the issue.
He said he'd open up the path to Molabeol.
Can we trust him or not?
I mean, must he go this far for the horse?
DALSAE
Because he's crazy over Aramun.
Even I believe that.
CHOMO: So the horse of the heavens
is Kanmoreu, right?
And that is the symbol of Aramun.
Why are you silent?
Karat.
BADORU: That bastard said this once.
The one who blocks flowing water
will be eternally unfortunate.
Who? Tagon?
Is it?
It's not like I want to believe him.
Damn it.
ARTHDAL PALACE
JEUNGSUGAE: It's not a big deal.
The queen must be getting a massage
from that servant.
JEUNGSUGAE
I'm saying this as that servant
ROYAL GUARD HEAD GILSEON
went in yesterday
and hasn't come out until now.
A guard who went in today morning
hasn't come out either.
A guard?
Yes.
- The door is locked from the inside.
- If he was a guard
CHOJAHA
he must've gone in with a sword.
The queen can subdue a guard easily
without a sword.
Still, it's impossible to escape
from the rooftop prison.
There are soldiers on each staircase,
and many are guarding the doors too.
What if she wasn't planning to escape
but commit suicide?
The queen has already tried
to take bichwisan once.
The queen's swordsmanship
is better than most commanders.
Everyone, be alert and put your guards up.
- Yes, sir!
- GILSEON: Start.
(BREATHING HEAVILY)
She's still alive.
Move her quickly. Now!
Hurry up and inform the yakbachis too.
YAKBACHI: DOCTOR
YAKBACHI: Be careful.
I must tear her clothes to see the wound.
Everyone, leave.
GILSEON: Still, I cannot leave her alone.
You two, stay.
BOTH: Yes, sir.
(DOOR CLOSES)
If the queen dies,
we'll be held accountable.
Don't even say that.
That will never happen.
Who are you?
You knew that I was fine.
But why?
High Priest Niruha
wishes for you to escape.
Tanya?
Things went well
because you made the first move.
We were actually planning
to do something tonight.
- Who are you?
- We are just descendants of Asa Sin.
ASA SIN: ARTHDAL'S LEGENDARY SACRED MOTHER
You, slaves, and I alike.
- What?
- Niruha said names are what bind us.
I am also bound by many names,
but for now,
I'll help you under the name
of the 938th descendant of Asa Sin.
(PANTING) How did it go?
She's still alive.
But we can't be sure.
If something really happens, we'll all
We'll all what?
I mean, the queen
is the Royal Guard's responsibility.
Is that what's important right now?
That's the truth.
(DOOR OPENS)
The queen has escaped.
(CHOJAHA EXCLAIMS)
JEUNGSUGAE: This is terrible.
MOA: It went according to your order.
The queen has escaped.
It's a mess outside, Niruha.
It worked. Did she leave Arthdal?
I don't think she's left the castle,
but it seems she hasn't been caught.
AGAJI: Niruha, what are you trying to do?
Why did you help the queen?
The queen will try to leave Arthdal
and go to the White Peak Mountain.
That must've been her original plan.
Yes, so you should escape
before the king returns too.
DOTI
Doti, how did you come here?
I barely made it here after you called me.
I told you to take over the hearts
of a few people and treat them well.
I'm communicating with them as you said.
Among them,
pick three people who are most faithful.
- Then
- TANYA: I will pick
three people who are currently
the pillars of Arthdal.
Niruha.
What do you mean?
In this Arthdal, where Tagon is at war
and Taealha has left,
if we knock down those three pillars,
Arthdal
will collapse.
HAE YEOBI: Let's go, Your Highness.
This must be Tanya, right?
Probably.
Can you tell what Tanya is trying to do?
I don't know what it is,
but since she's alive,
she's doing something.
We should do something too.
TAEALHA: What about Saya?
He is recovering.
I'm back.
It was just like you said, Inaishingi.
What is it?
From here to all the way here
is the Pine Tree Forest.
But the trees are wounded
and resin is flowing out.
Someone did that on purpose.
MIRUSOL: What?
What's that? What is wrong with that?
EUNSEOM: Tagon
has no intention of
clearing the way for us.
This is where we will exchange captives.
This is the path Tagon said he'd clear.
So?
It's a northeast wind.
Moreover, with resin,
imagine how easily
they would catch on fire.
Fire attack.
Is that what you mean?
Tagon must be planning to drive us
into the Pine Tree Forest
and annihilate us in a sea of fire.
IPSAENG: Bastard.
And the time he wanted to meet
happened to be during the sunset.
That's right.
When the sun sets here,
the northeast wind gets stronger.
We have no choice.
Let's fight them head-on towards Molabeol.
DALSAE: We've already lost
half of our troops.
Arthdal has three times
more soldiers than us.
Why not attack them with fire first?
We're facing the wind.
How can we attack with fire
when we are the ones facing the wind?
No, we can, as long as we lure them
to the direction of the wind.
IPSAENG: But how?
They already know the wind's direction
for the attack.
They won't come to its direction.
It's impossible.
Then what is possible?
Should we just suck the tree sap,
endure it, and die?
Here. The Amdol Mountain,
the north of the Achi Hill.
They must have have less soldiers here.
Why don't we escape through here?
We may be good at getting around
mountains and forests,
but there's no way
we can go through it with a huge army.
This place is surrounded with cliffs.
Not exactly cliffs.
They're very steep slopes.
Not everyone can hike like you.
Inaishingi, I brought her.
What are you going to do with me now?
Wherever you are,
wherever you go,
come back to me,
Helper.
Inaishingi, I
Tagon
wants you.
He said he would open up a path
if I handed you and Helper over.
What's your relationship with Tagon?
Is it so deep that
the king looks after you himself?
A very long time ago,
we met when King Tagon was very young.
I served a danggeuri
of the Saenyeok Tribe.
DANGGEURI: SHAMAN
And Sanung hid Tagon, an Igutu, there.
We grew up together.
Then there was someone I secretly dated
and he saw Tagon's purple blood.
The danggeuri had to kill everyone
because my lover was
from the White Mountain Tribe,
and if it became known,
it would have been over.
So did you run away?
Yes, with Tagon too.
Because the danggeuri
tried to kill Tagon too.
My lover
saved both of us and died.
No, he saved three.
The baby in my womb.
Yangcha.
SUHANA: After that,
there were a lot more ups and downs.
Tagon saved Yangcha
who was taken by Shahati.
He saved my life as well.
(SIGHS SOFTLY)
I guess even Tagon
doesn't want to sacrifice
his precious ones.
Do you need to sacrifice someone
in this battle?
In the end, the name, Inaishingi
is the price you need to pay
by sacrificing your precious ones
because you need
to protect a lot more people.
It must be dreadful.
But you must endure it in your place.
- Tagon as well--
- Stop.
You're not my advisor anymore.
MIRUSOL: That's the way to death.
If the land gets hot in this season,
a huge whirlwind fire might start.
DALSAE: What? Whirlwind fire?
- What's that now?
- (SIGHS) What should I say?
You'll know when you see it.
It's extremely disastrous.
(SCOFFS)
Dalsae, who wants
to attack with fire first.
Mirusol, who says we can't attack
with fire facing the wind.
Tae Maja, who wants to lure them
to the direction of the wind.
Ipsaeng, who says there is no way
to lure them.
Everyone is right.
So I'll follow everyone's opinion.
What do you mean?
If we cannot lure the enemies
nor change the direction of the wind,
there's only one thing we can change.
Our location.
IPSAENG: Inaishingi.
If an army crosses the Amdol Mountain,
they will find out soon.
They'll attack us from both sides
at the end of the mountain.
Not a big army. A small group.
A small number of elites will set fire
at the back of the enemies.
We'll attack with fire
from the other side.
(GENTLE GASPS)
If we can set fire
behind the enemies' backs,
they'll be in the direction of the wind.
If we succeed,
where they are
will become the sea of fire.
They'll be the ones
to face the whirlwind fire.
Of course, it could fail.
Even if it succeeds,
the lives of the warriors
who go to the back
won't be guaranteed.
Will you do it?
Cross the mountain before the sun rises,
ambush the enemies from behind,
and wait for the northeast wind.
Whether you succeed or fail,
we cannot send a rescue force.
AMDOL MOUNTAIN
(BREATHING HEAVILY)
ARTH FOREST, SOUTH
(BIRDS CALLING)
(SIGHS, SNIFFLES)
You made the wise choice.
I'll have to see the results first
to know that.
Send Kanmoreu here first.
I will send Tachukan.
TAKUCHAN: Inaishingi.
How can you hand over
the horse of heavens to save us?
Stop it. You shouldn't.
I'll just die.
You have a subordinate who's willing
to die for you.
You must be happy.
Does it make you happy?
Both Suhana over there and Tachukan
are willing to die for you and me.
Does that
really make you happy?
I see.
That's why you made it to that place.
It's painful.
It's excruciatingly painful
that I'll curse everything I have.
But showing that pain
is cowardly.
I sacrifice them willingly,
confidently, and ruthlessly,
no matter what pain I feel alone.
ARTH FOREST, NORTH,
THE REAR OF ARTHDAL TROOPS' CAMP
(BLOWING GENTLY)
MAN: What?
Ago's ambushing us!
What is it?
(BREATHING HEAVILY)
Everyone, hurry up!
(BLOWING)
GITOHA: Over there!
(SOLDIERS YELLING)
Is this really Kanmoreu?
Why?
Do you really feel like
you've become Aramun?
Aramun?
I told you, when we met in Arthdal,
that everyone is acting in front of us
and that you should not trust anyone.
I said everyone. Everyone!
Did you think I didn't count?
(HELPER WHINNIES)
Helper!
TAGON: You believed your enemy
like a fool!
Did I look like I was crazy over Aramun?
Aramun!
I don't need stuff like that.
I was bound by that name
and wandered for too long.
I am Tagon!
There was nothing else
to add to this name.
I will break off that chain today.
- (GASPS)
- TAGON: Don't be surprised.
All of you will die together today.
MIRUSOL: Tagon!
Send Dachi here!
I'll kill her!
Sister.
(SOBS SOFTLY)
Your Majesty.
I'm sorry.
In the name of Inaishingi!
EUNSEOM: Stop, Tagon!
(MAN SCREAMING)
(TAGON SHUDDERS)
(CHOKING)
(SCREAMS)
(YELLS)
(ALL GRUNTING)
Cover me!
TAE MAJA: Cover me!
Get that bastard!
Shit!
Stop there!
(BOTH YELLING)
Your Majesty, you shouldn't!
(YELLS)
Your Majesty, we should leave.
Tagon!
MIRUSOL: Inaishingi.
We must leave.
(BREATHING HEAVILY)
(YELLS)
Stop them! We must stop them!
(WIND GUSTING)
Great warriors of Arthdal.
We will drive the beasts of Ago
into the northern Pine Tree Forest,
set fire to it,
and offer them to Airuju!
- Yeonbal!
- Armored infantry!
Step forward!
Veterans, forward!
Charge!
(SOLDIERS YELL)
Are you safe, Inaishingi?
EUNSEOM: What about Tae Maja?
No signal from the back yet?
No.
I think they failed.
TAKUCHAN: Gosh, hey.
Untie me.
Inaishingi, Arthdal's army is coming.
East of Yangdaegil and north of Jemakgil
- are full of armored soldiers.
- It was just as expected.
Yes. Let's retreat
to the south of the Pine Tree Forest--
EUNSEOM: If Tae Maja failed,
that plan is useless.
But other than that
- You'll lead them.
- Pardon?
If we go in to the forest like this,
we'll be annihilated.
That's why we made preparations
on the south of the Pine Tree Forest.
If we can't set fire to the enemy's rear,
- it's useless.
- IPSAENG: So?
You'll break through the enemies
to set the fires?
- That's nonsense!
- MIRUSOL: He's right.
- BADORU: You must never.
- DALSAE: You can't go, Inaishingi.
That's ridiculous.
Believe in me!
I will set fire
to the bottom of the Amdol Mountain,
behind the enemies' rear.
- But--
- Just like how you believed
in Inaishingi who jumped
into the waterfall 200 years ago,
believe me. Believe me,
retreat to the south as we planned,
and get ready.
IPSAENG: Eunseom.
Inaishingi's life isn't yours.
Yes, you're right.
But so is Tagon!
I should sacrifice someone else.
I should do it willingly!
But if the Ago's army gets annihilated
and Inaishingi survives alone
that's not Inaishingi anymore.
On this battlefield,
there are no superior or inferior lives.
I can do it best!
I'll prepare a horse.
I'll go through the radius.
I don't need a horse.
Then I'll escort you.
I'm coming with you too, Inaishingi.
All forces,
retreat to the Pine Tree Forest!
ALL: Yes, sir!
MAN: The main squad of the Ago
is being chased by the armored infantry
and are headed to the Pine Tree Forest.
Pressure them with veterans from the east
so they won't escape through Galgaetgol.
I will relay the message to them,
Your Majesty.
(WIND GUSTING)
The Pine Tree Forest will be turned
into a sea of fire now.
- Get ready.
- Yes, Your Majesty.
DUPA: Your Majesty!
There's a report saying someone who looks
like Inaishingi is heading north.
There are three of them.
Inaishingi jumped into our territory?
He might be trying to lure our troops.
Tell the front line to stop them,
and the rest to stay calm
and stick to the original plan.
Yes, Your Majesty.
(SOLDIERS YELLING)
(ALL GRUNTING)
(BLOOD SPLATTERS)
Go quickly, Inaishingi.
(SOLDIERS YELLING)
Go now!
(TAKUCHAN GRUNTING)
(GROANING)
Hey.
It's all over.
So you tried to set fire here.
Yes. It was an amazing strategy,
but it failed.
I'll spare your life.
Give me that.
Give me that!
Kill him.
- (YELLING)
- What's that now?
(ALL GRUNTING)
(GRUNTING CONTINUES)
(BOTH GRUNTING)
(GRUNTING CONTINUES)

Prepare to fire!
(WIND BLOWING)
ARTH FOREST, NORTH
(SOLDIERS SCREAMING)
- They succeeded.
- All forces, start!
Archers, forward. Follow me!
(SOLDIERS COUGHING)
DUPA: Your Majesty.
The Ago Tribe set fire to the back.
YEONBAL: What?
We're in the direction of the wind now.
We must escape. Give us the order now!
(SOLDIERS YELLING)
(SOLDIERS GROAN)
Fire!
Badoru!
(MEN YELLING)

SOLDIER 1: What's that?
SOLDIER 2: What's that smoke?
SOLDIER 3: Fire
SOLDIER 4: Fire!
SOLDIER 5: Fire!
(SOLDIERS CLAMORING)
TAGON: Do not scatter!
Form a defensive formation
and march forward!
SOLDIER 1: Run away!
SOLDIER 2: We have to go. Run.
YEONBAL: Your Majesty!
We must escape from the flames.
Stand up!
Now!
(PANTING)
Your Majesty.
It's the whirlwind fire.
ARTHDAL CHRONICLES: THE SWORD OF ARAMUN
(CLOSING THEME MUSIC PLAYING)
TANYA: Only High Priest Asa Tanya
is left in Arthdal.
I wish to open the new sky of Arthdal.
SAYA: You want to take over Arthdal
and give it to Eunseom
by turning Inaishingi into Aramun?
SODANG:
Following the High Priest is treason!
CHOJAHA: When there's a storm,
even the worst enemies
have to row together.
I will follow the queen and fight!
TAEALHA: We must drag Asa Tanya,
the wicked fake Asa Sin,
and protect our Arthdal!
