IGUTU: HALF BLOODS BORN BETWEEN
A SARAM AND A NEANTHAL
THEIR BLOOD IS PURPLE
AND ARE CONSIDERED CURSED BEINGS
IN ARTHDAL
FEMALE NARRATOR: In Arthdal,
there was a hidden prophecy from long ago.
The prophecy said three children
who each symbolize sword, bell, and mirror
will be born at the same time
and bring this world to an end.
The children of the prophecy were
Eunseom, Tanya, and Saya.
Eunseom and Saya were twins
and they were Igutus.
Their mother, Asa Hon,
fought against Tagon who tried to
annihilate Neanthals and protected them.
She fell in love with one of them
and gave birth to twin Igutus.
But in the end,
she lost her husband, Ragaz, to Tagon.
Even Saya, one of the twins,
was taken away by Tagon.
Asa Hon ran away with Eunseom
and Eunseom met
another child of the prophecy,
Tanya, a girl from the Wahan Tribe.
Saya, who was taken away by Tagon,
grew up in a civilization called Arthdal.
Eunseom and Tanya,
unaware of what the prophecy
about them even means,
grew up as members
of the Wahan Tribe in nature.
Then one day,
Arthdal invaded the Wahan Tribe.
A lot of people
of the Wahan Tribe were massacred.
But even more people
were taken to Arthdal as slaves.
Tanya became Arthdal's slave
and Eunseom barely managed to escape.
He promised to come back
to save Tanya and the Wahan Tribe.
Time passed by,
and Tagon's tyranny in Arthdal got worse.
To hide that he was an Igutu himself,
Tagon killed a lot of people.
And now,
every child of the prophecy
had become a hero.
Tanya was no longer a slave.
She became the high priest of Arthdal.
Eunseom became Inaishingi,
the leader of the Ago Tribe.
Saya became the commander of Arthdal.
However
Tanya still didn't know
whether Eunseom was alive or dead
and Saya didn't know that his lost brother
was the head of the enemy army.
Eunseom didn't even know
that he had a long lost twin brother.
Also, they still didn't know
what the prophecy that said
they would end this world truly meant.
But they will meet the fate
that the prophecy is pointing toward.
EPISODE 1: WEAK ONES
MALE NARRATOR:
The history of wind, stars, and blood.
I record the chronicle of Arthdal Kingdom.
Arthdal's calendar.
Year of the lazy bear.
The union ended
and Tagon became the king.
I will conquer the east!
Let us conquer the Ago Tribe!
ALL: Conquer the Ago Tribe!
Let's conquer!
Let's conquer!
MALE NARRATOR: However,
the conquest of the Ago Tribe
was stopped by an unexpected enemy.
Year of the crouching chicken.
The Ggachinol and the Bato Tribes
plotted revenge against Tagon
and rebelled.
(ALL EXCLAIMING)
(HORSES NEIGHING)
(MAN SCREAMING)
The fierce battle continued
for several years.
Year of the wise rat, month of the tiger.
In the end, King Tagon
went to fight in the battle himself.
(GROANING)
(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING)
TAGON: KING OF ARTHDAL
GITOHA: We got him.
Your long-lasting rebellion
has finally come to an end.
Oraha of Ggachinol.
ORAHA: HEAD OF A TRIBE
My King,
you ended the Ggachinol Tribe's rebellion.
Congratulations.
ALL: Congratulations.
MALE NARRATOR: What's left now
was the Bato Tribe by the Notsan River
and the reincarnation of Inaishingi
who unified 30 clans of the Ago Tribe
and took over the Agoha Forest.
He was Eunseom.
(GIRL SINGING) Inaishingi is here
Inaishingi is here
Stone walls will collapse
Homes will be ruined
The blue flame rages like a storm
They grew up in war and rebellion,
so these kids don't know fear.
Still, they must be afraid of Inaishingi
judging from the lyrics.
INAISHINGI: AGO TRIBE'S HERO
WHO DEFEATED ARAMUN HAESULLA 200 YEARS AGO
Right across the Notsan River over there
is the land of the Ago Tribe.
It stands to reason that the notoriety
of Inaishingi reached this land.
That notoriety will end now,
thanks to you.
Thanks for your hard work.
(SCOFFS) I do this for my business,
but Oraha of the Bato Tribe
made a big decision.
Probably because he's tired
of the long rebellion.
The amazing one is Lord Saya.
He came up with a plan
to get rid of Inaishingi
and the Bato Tribe at once.
Do you really think
Inaishingi will fall for it?
(GRUNTS)
SYOREUJAGIN: The Ago Tribe
desperately needs the Bato Tribe's help.
He'll definitely come.
SODANG: I heard nobody knows
Inaishingi's face except the Ago Tribe.
It's not just his face.
What his actual name is, where he's from.
Everything is unknown.
We just know that he is the reincarnation
of Inaishingi.
Have you really seen Inaishingi's face?
Yes, it's a face I'll never forget.
We need to make him
take off that ugly visor
and show his face today.
If Lord Saya sees his face
he'll be
very surprised.
NOTSAN RIVER
BATO TRIBE'S BASE
MAN: Inaishingi is coming.
In the name of Mihaje,
I welcome Inaishingi of the Ago Tribe.
Garutum Oraha,
the father of the Bato Tribe.
Inaishingi expresses
his deep gratitude at your invitation.
Please.
MILSOL OF ARTHDAL: HEAD OF
THE SECRET INTELLIGENCE ORGANIZATION
Get ready.
(GARUTUM LAUGHS)
Inaishingi.
Congratulations on uniting Ago
for the first time in 200 years.
Are you going to cross
the Notsan River and fight Arthdal?
Of course.
Inaishingi here
will get back the old land of Ago
ARAMUN HAESULLA: FOUNDER OF ARTHDAL UNION,
LEGENDARY HERO OF ARTHDAL
that Aramun Haesulla took away.
Yes. Since we, the Bato Tribe,
joined the Ago Union,
it will definitely happen.
I heard your fathers and elders
were brutally murdered by Tagon.
Once we enter Arthdal,
I'll cut off Tagon's head
and give it to you, Oraha.
GARUTUM: I appreciate it.
The Bato Tribe and the Ago Tribe
have become brothers now.
Let's have a drink of alliance.
- Bring it here.
- Yes, Oraha.
(LAUGHING)
GARUTUM: I can't believe
you're giving me such a precious thing.
(GASPS, LAUGHS)
Here.
Now.
We Bato and Ago
haven't interacted for a long time
with the Notsan River between us.
But in the year of the hungry snake,
we have become brothers.
The arrow of Mihaje
and the waterfall of Ago
will bless us today.
(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING)
SYOREUJAGIN: You said you'd cut off
Tagon's neck.
Isn't the Ago Tribe's goal
getting back their old land?
Are you aiming for Arthdal too?
Are you capable of that?
GARUTUM: What are you doing?
You're being disrespectful.
Since you're from Arthdal,
you must know
the power of the civilization.
Since you came from Gitbadak,
you must know how scary the world is.
GITBADAK: DEEPEST PART OF THE JEWEL MINE
How can you have
such an absurd idea, Inaishingi?
(CHUCKLES SOFTLY)
(LAUGHING)
(CONTINUES LAUGHING)
(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING)
EUNSEOM: LEADER OF THE AGO UNION,
THE REINCARNATION OF INAISHINGI
It really was you.
I heard the mediator was a merchant.
I spared your life
and with the jewels
you stole from Ipsaeng,
you became a successful merchant
for this?
Syoreujagin.
How are those jewels Ipsaeng's? It's mine.
You must've been scared,
seeing how you changed clothes.
But you can't leave here alive anyway.
EUNSEOM: I see.
There must be tons of soldiers outside.
Gosh.
I can't tell whether I would be alive
or dead by the end of the day.
Why just point it at me?
Just cut me.
Because you think you'll die too
if you kill me?
You're exchanging your life
with Inaishingi's.
Isn't that
an honor?
In your insignificant life,
the chance to kill Inaishingi has come.
You will become
the man who killed Inaishingi.
Countless songs written after you
will be sung.
The song of a legendary warrior
will be sung
in Arthdal across the Notsan River,
from Arthdal to White Peak Mountain,
and Atturad beyond White Peak Mountain.
Why are you hesitating?
You can't do it?
Then there will be no song.
What about this?
Do you know the swallow tail spell?
I'm not a danggeuri
DANGGEURI: A SHAMAN
but I'll try.
Now.
Let's say this is you.
And this
is your neck.
(YELLS)
Now
this time
let's say this is you.
Kill Inaishingi.
Now!
Now, shall we go out?
Why isn't he giving us the signal?
Everyone, stop!
Don't mind him. Kill them.
Stop!
He's holding the Oraha
of the Bato Tribe hostage.
(BREATH TREMBLING)
If he dies
won't you become the next oraha?
That man is Inaishingi.
MAN 1: Get him.
MAN 2: Attack.
Milsol!
(BREATH SHAKING)
Inaishingi, hurry up.
You must hurry.
Now.
Lord Saya.
SAYA: EUNSEOM'S TWIN, TAGON'S ADOPTED SON
You
are Inaishingi?
(GRUNTS)
Chase him.
Keep chasing.
There's a river up front.
(THUNDERCLAP)
(INDISTINCT SHOUTING)
SODANG: They caught him.
This is the end of Inaishingi.
SAYA: You
are really Inaishingi?
MAN: Get off and drop your weapons.
God only punishes the weak.
Give up, Inaishingi.
That's right.
Whichever God it is,
they punish the weak.
It's a whistle arrow.
WHISTLE ARROW: AN ARROW THAT MAKES A SOUND
As warriors yourselves,
you know what this means, right?
Good job coming this far.
Weak ones.
Now receive
your punishment.
(THUNDERCLAP)
(ARROW WHISTLES)
(THUNDERCLAP)
(RAIN PATTERING)
(HORSE WHINNIES)
(ALL SHOUTING)
(INDISTINCT SHOUTING)
Retreat, retreat!
Retreat!
In the names
of the waterfall and the Agoha Forest!
Under the name of Inaishingi!
(ALL SHOUTING)
Hanchoa Castle.
(ALL SHOUTING)
(LAUGHTER)
The rebellion in the south is over.
That's a relief, Mother.
TAEALHA: ARTHDAL'S QUEEN CONSOR
Yes, Arok.
Your father must've finished it well.
AROK: TAGON AND TAEALHA'S SON
Then the Bato Tribe
in the north is the only one left.
That's right.
But it has been two years
since Lord Saya went to subdue them.
ASA PIL
It seems like you need to grow up quickly
and head north yourself.
(ALL LAUGHING)
MAN: The king defeated
the Ggachinol Tribe!
ALL: He's here!
Hurrah!
Hurrah!
Hurrah!
Darn you.
MEN: Tagon.
We sincerely congratulate you
on your victory.
The Queen isn't here.
Please let us through.
I need to give this to the prince.
Please? It will only take a moment.
You guys don't understand.
What is this about?
I'm a bachi of Aram Village.
I have something to give to the prince.
They're from Aram Village.
HAE TUAK, HAE YEOBI
They have something they want
to give to Prince Arok.
- Should I send them away?
- Your Highness.
I'm a bachi of Aram Village.
BACHI: A CRAFTSMAN OR ENGINEER
I'm not good enough,
but I made something for the prince.
I want to give it to him.
TAEALHA: Wait.
Let him open the box himself
and bring the box opened.
AROK: What is this?
How do you use it?
If you'll allow me,
I'll show you how to use it.
Wow.
I want this.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING)
(MAN GRUNTS)
(GROANS)
(EXHALES)
You don't need to commit suicide.
You don't even need to bite your tongue.
I know
you won't tell who was behind this.
But you can't die on your own.
Why?
Because your life isn't yours.
Arok.
AROK: Yes, Mother.
He tried to kill you.
The life of the person
who tried to kill you is yours.
End it.
(BREATHING HEAVILY)
Here, Arok.
Come on.
(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING)
(SCREAMING)
(THUDS)
Good job.
Let's go.
Arok, you did something wrong. What is it?
I'm shaking too much.
Your father and I were like that
at first too.
Other than that.
I wasn't able to do it alone.
You can get help when it's difficult.
That's fine.
I don't know.
This.
You said you wanted this.
What you want, what you must have.
Don't forget that under any circumstances.
Yes, Mother.
Find out what poison was used
for the needle.
I will.
GILSEON: Someone tried
to assassinate them.
What? What do you mean? Assassination?
So is everyone safe?
Yes. Thankfully,
the Queen handled them all.
Grand Commander Mubaek.
Tomorrow, lead two corps
and leave for Pyeongmire Castle first.
Yes, Your Majesty.
GREAT COMMANDER MUBAEK
Are we finally going to war?
Not yet.
But we'll fight them soon.
WARRIOR YEONBAL, WARRIOR GITOHA
So train hard.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Your Majesty.
What are those things on their wrists?
They're bracelets made
in the Great Shrine.
I know where they're made.
Why are they wearing them?
Everyone is anxious before the war.
How foolish.
Ishillobu beresa.
ISHILLOBU BERESA: GOD'S GLORY
The water of this undrying spring
seeps out of the rocks itself.
It's sacred.
Before meeting Niruha,
wash your hands and cleanse yourself.
Hello.
AGAJI: WAHAN TRIBE, PRIES
What?
All of the crops yield of the north
of White Ford Forest?
Yes. If the Great Shrine could use it
for something good,
it would be a great honor for me.
(CHUCKLES SOFTLY)
Oh. Okay.
Jenak of Ogam Guild.
I give you the blessings of Airuju.
TANYA: WAHAN TRIBE, HIGH PRIES
OF ARTHDAL, REINCARNATION OF ASA SIN
Come closer.
(CHIMES)
This is the mark that connects your heart
and the wishes of Airuju.
AIRUJU: GREATEST OF THE EIGHT GODS OF ARTH
Cherish it.
(GASPS)
JENAK: Ishillobu beresa.
Niruha, live forever.
NIRUHA: A TITLE OF HONOR
(THINKING) Jenak of Ogam Guild.
Jenak of Ogam Guild.
Jenak of Ogam Guild.
Yes, Niruha. Did you call?
It's nothing.
- You may leave.
- Okay.
Niruha.
CHILD: (CRYING) Father.
It hurts.
- MAN: (CRYING) No, no.
- (CHILD SCREAMING)
Niruha. I am the King's guard
You lost your daughter.
Niruha.
And you
killed a lot of children
of the Bato Tribe last time.
You are right.
My sin is bigger
than the Great Gochiju Rock.
Don't blame yourself.
Don't blame yourself.
Carry it out.
(SOBBING)
(CHIMES)
Pray for the children you killed.
I will pray for your child.
(CRYING)
How can you do it
for someone as lowly as me?
Both a high priest and a mere guard
are just descendants of Asa Sin
if we think the same.
(SOBBING)
BAKRYANGPUNG: Mubaek.
WARRIOR BAKRYANGPUNG
Are you going to see Niruha
before you leave?
While I'm gone,
take good care of Niruha.
Don't worry, Mubaek.
My life is already dedicated
to Tanya Niruha.
That night when the new moon rose,
I saw the prophecy,
the curse that Niruha said,
coming true right in front of my eyes.
She killed everyone else and saved me.
It's the life that Niruha gave.
By the way,
did you tell Niruha about that place?
I'll tell her about it
and take her there when I come back.
How happy would she be to see it?
The correct history will be recorded now.
Actually, I know.
What you, Tanya Niruha,
and Saya are planning to do together.
Defeating King Tagon
Who said that nonsense?
I'll join you, Mubaek. (CHUCKLES SOFTLY)
MOA: Niruha.
MOA
As you said, I relayed everything to Doti.
Did you do it well?
What did you say?
There are people who take wealth,
and there are people who take hearts,
as for the guard who came today,
treat him with more care
than the others who take hearts.
That's what I told her.
How many people
do Doti treat with care now?
Sorry?
Well
I don't know.
(CHUCKLES) Of course you shouldn't know.
Why? Do you want to hear
Asa Sin's words?
Niruha, will you tell me
about her today too?
Yes. Sit down.
Okay, Niruha.
(PLEASANT MUSIC PLAYING)
The first descendant of Asa Sin
to the second descendant of Asa Sin.
ASA SIN: THE GREAT SPIRITUAL
MOTHER OF ARTHDAL
The second descendant of Asa Sin
hears God's voice.
(WHISPERS)
(DOOR CLOSES)
I heard someone tried
to assassinate Prince Arok.
Who was it?
It might be the Bato Tribe
from Ttesarichon who holds grudges.
The queen might have staged it.
Or the king might've staged it.
You've changed a lot too, Mubaek.
They all have motivations.
If it's about motivations,
Saya would have the biggest one.
Who will become Arthdal's successor?
Lord Saya
decided to follow the way
of the world you're going to make.
It probably isn't him.
You're probably right.
Looking at how Saya
is searching for Eunseom desperately.
I'm sure Eunseom is definitely alive.
You will meet him.
If you leave now,
when will you come back?
I'm not sure.
The order was given suddenly.
Maybe this time
a war might really break out.
Take care of yourself on the long journey.
Don't get injured.
Make sure you come back.
Congratulations on your victory, my King.
I heard about what happened.
I'm glad you're both safe.
I'll change the guards
and the servants of Arok
and pick new ones.
I'll move his chamber
to somewhere deep in the palace
and make Gilseon manage everyone he meets.
The same goes for your people.
What about Saya?
Shouldn't you do something about Saya?
What do you mean?
Who do you think did it? It's Saya.
It's been two years
since Saya went to Hanchoa.
Saya is the head of the bangs,
and so are the assassins.
BANG OF ROYAL ADMINISTRATION MILSOL: HEAD
OF THE SECRET INTELLIGENCE ORGANIZATION
- It's obvious.
- You want to think it's obvious.
You must be worried about Saya.
This happened
because you didn't decide the successor.
You didn't perform
the sacred ritual for Arok,
let alone the ritual of wind and flower!
I'm not the one that performs it.
The high priest does it.
If you ask, Tanya will do it.
Is that even an excuse?
I subdued the rebellion
and came back today.
(BREATH TREMBLING)
YANGCHA: Niruha.
(GASPS)
You must've had a dream.
But why
Yes.
It was a scary dream.
YANGCHA
Niruha.
YEONBAL: Your Highness.
We're having a conversation. Leave.
The Ago Tribe crossed the Notsan River.
And Hanchoa Castle
What about it?
Who knew the Ago Tribe
would suddenly conquer Hanchoa Castle?
The King would've known.
He was waiting for it.
Pardon? What do you mean, Your Highness?
The rebellion of Ggachinol's over now,
and the Ago Tribe crossed
the Notsan River. It's perfect timing.
Isn't that right, my King?
It's as she said.
To the plains
You wanted to drag them out to the plains.
That is right.
If we fight the Ago Tribe
in that gigantic Agoha Forest,
it would become an endless war.
Just like during the Neanthal Hunt.
Even Aramun lost to Inaishingi
in the Agoha Forest.
But they're in the plains now.
But isn't it too late?
Mobon Castle, Pyeongmire, and Molabeol.
If we lose any of the three,
our trade route will get cut off,
and they will form a supply route.
Even if we prepare the corps quickly
They
already left.
Yes. Your Majesty sent the corps
of Great Commander Mubaek
to Pyeongmirae.
Corps One, Five, and Nine.
Get ready to leave
for Hanchoa immediately.
Hanchoa Plains will be the place
for our final battle.
- Yes, Your Majesty.
- Yes, Your Majesty.
(DOOR CREAKING)
(FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING)
Milsol is back.
Did you know?
Eunseom isn't exactly a common name.
MUNGTAE: WAHAN TRIBE, ARTHDAL'S WARRIOR
When I heard that name from Red Claw,
at first, it was hard for me
to believe either.
It's amazing that the person
we thought dead was alive.
But Inaishingi?
Have you ever seen the face
of Eunseom?
Not clearly.
It was for an instant in the dark,
and he was dressed up as a warrior.
He's your first opponent
that you'll have to beat
purely with your strength.
You'll be the general of the conquest.
You know what this means, right?
Once you win this war,
you'll be qualified
as my successor.
I found my benetbeot, Niruha.
BENETBEOT: TWIN BROTHER
You found Eunseom?
I wish I hadn't.
Then I could continue to miss him.
My brother.
What do you mean?
It means the beautiful plan made
by Niruha, Mubaek, and me
is falling apart.
Explain so I can understand.
"Let's find the brothers of Bell,
Mirror, and Sword.
"Let those who think alike come together,
defeat Tagon
"and make a new world.
"Mubaek will help too."
Yes, that's what I said.
You wanted to see the world
we were going to make together.
I did.
Brothers. Thinking alike.
Together.
The world.
I liked how they sounded.
So? Did something change?
What happened?
Why are you acting like this?
Eunseom is Inaishingi.
INAISHINGI: LEGENDARY HERO
OF AGO TRIBE THAT REINCARNATES
Inaishingi is Eunseom.
And I'll go to war
as the general of the troops.
What
do you mean?
He's my enemy now.
He's someone
I need to beat with my strength alone.
I must kill him. And
Eunseom will die of course.
We know every strategy of the Ago Tribe.
They don't know how strong we are.
Besides, they came out to the plains.
They are no match for us.
That fool.
So, you better make another plan.
How is that possible?
He's not even from the Ago Tribe.
How can he become Inaishingi
of the Ago Tribe?
It doesn't make sense.
They said Inaishingi was brutal.
Is it
really Eunseom?
Tagon knew before me.
Then
you and Eunseom
He doesn't know that he's my benetbeot.
So
I must kill him fast
before he finds out.
What about Eunseom?
Did Eunseom see you?
If he did,
does that change anything?
Can you stop the war?
We're going to wipe out the Ago Tribe now.
Can you save Eunseom
with your psychic ability of the gods?
I asked if he saw you.
He didn't.
Because
I hid like a fool.
What?
Goodness.
That horse has a better life than me.
He comes in whenever he wants.
It's as if he owns this place.
Then should we tie up a spirit?
You'll get punished.
DOTI: WAHAN TRIBE, TANYA'S ASSOCIATE
Helper came all the way here alone
to find Tanya Niruha.
Spirit, my foot.
It's a bad horse nobody can ride.
Uh By the way,
why do you keep talking casually to me?
DOTI: We're close.
In Iark, we speak casually if we're close.
IARK: WAHAN TRIBE'S HOME
BOTH: (GASPING) Niruha.
Doti.
I'm here to see Helper.
Helper.
Eunseom is the leader
of the Ago Union, Inaishingi.
(HORSE WHINNIES)
The owner of your name commands.
Help Eunseom.
Save Eunseom. Please.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING)
NUNBYEOL: NEANTHAL
(GRUNTS)
It's fine because it's dark.
I'll be quick.
You can't go out
without the head's permission.
CHAEEUN: NUNBYEOL'S OLDER SISTER, DOCTOR
He'll allow me to.
There's a type of herb I need.
Nunbyeol.
(GROANS)
Since when did you become like this?
How long can you hold it?
Let my sister and me go.
Nunbyeol, stop.
CHAEEUN: Nunbyeol.
(COUGHING)
What's wrong with her?
You said it was complete.
It's because she used her powers.
She got too worked up.
If she draws up her power
through breathing,
she's a perfect Neanthal.
Breathing?
NEANTHAL: MORE POWERFUL THAN SARAMS,
HAS BLUE BLOOD
How long until the perfect state?
About seven minutes.
Then can she beat
Tagon's monstrous strength?
She's the only Neanthal in the world
that uses swords.
What could beat her?
But there's no way
Tagon would wait for seven minutes.
What do you want?
Why do you want me to treat Nunbyeol?
Let us go. We'll leave quietly.
(SCOFFS)
Will she leave too?
Hmm.
She can never give up.
That's right.
I can't give up.
I'm going to take revenge.
What do you want from us?
Tagon.
I want the same thing that she wants.
Listen carefully. I'll send you
into the palace as a servant.
Just wait for a while.
Without my command
No.
You can call it a discussion.
Anyway, if you act as you please
then
your sister will be in danger.
Why will she be in danger?
Chaeeun will go
to the battlefield with me.
You better listen to me very well
and take care of me well.
From now on, our lives are one.
If I don't come back
to Arthdal safe and sound
who knows what might be
in her food that she'll eat in the palace?
What?
So
you guys are each other's hostage.
Also we're all on the same side.
"My lady.
"How big is the world's sky?
"The sky in the tower
"is too small.
"When my father comes,
will I be able to see the wide sky?"
Saya.
He was a poor thing.
A young child trapped
in a small space without his mom.
I never imagined I would see you alive.
Asa Yon.
Me neither.
I just follow Asa Sakan's wishes.
I need the Children of Shahati.
CHILDREN OF SHAHATI: WHITE MOUNTAIN
TRIBE'S SECRET ASSASSIN GROUP
Who do you want to send to God
It's okay. She can neither hear nor speak.
I see.
Where should I send them to?
A battlefield.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING)
MAN 1: This war is an opportunity
for me to become filthy rich.
MAN 2: Gosh,
there will be tons of war slaves.
MAN 3: We don't even have grains to eat.
War, my foot.
- MAN 4: Just come back alive.
- MAN 5: Protect Arthdal.
MAN 6: Dear God.
I just need to get through the war.
- MAN 7: Please protect us.

This is my blood.
With this, your blood won't be shed.
With this, your army won't scatter

Airuju.
AIRUJU: GREATEST OF THE EIGHT GODS OF ARTH
Protect all our warriors.
Come back alive,

- What about Eunseom?
- Don't kill him.
He's your benetbeot.
(ALL CHEERING)
NEAR HANCHOA CASTLE, AGO ARMY'S BARRACKS
- Where's Syoreujagin?
- I tied him up.
We need to make him spill
everything he knows.
We need to move to Pyeongmirae
in three days and get ready.
Mirusol will go to Pyeongmirae
to scout as soon as the sun rises.
The problem's bronze weapons.
We didn't fight properly, but the weapons
of those in front got damaged.
IPSAENG: EUNSEOM'S ADVISER
We can't make bronze weapons
nor repair them.
(SIGHS)
After two or three more big fights,
things will get bad.
How many weapons are in Hanchoa Castle?
Tae Maja went to
Hanchoa Castle's armory to check.
DALSAE: WAHAN TRIBE, EUNSEOM'S FRIEND
When he comes back
MAN: Let me go.
Darn it.
What happened?
She lives here in Hanchoa.
This punk
beat him up like this.
Why?
He took something away,
and he attacked saying it was his.
I'm sorry.
I was feeling very elated because we won,
but he kept ruining the fun.
I lost my temper for a moment.
It won't happen again.
Please forgive him.
Don't do this.
We'll pay back what he took away.
We'll treat your injuries.
I forgive you.
I forgive you, of course.
Thank you.
You made Inaishingi kneel.
(BREATH TREMBLING)
(CRIES)
In my entire life, and even in stories,
I never heard of an army
that did not pillage.
But Eunseom is trying to do it.
We should do this much.
We must spread the word about
what happened today to everyone.
- That way, we Ago
- Hey.
Even if you try to stop them
TACHUKAN
the news will spread
by tomorrow morning.
No. Not only to our army,
but to the enemies.
And everywhere around Arthdal.
You told us to spread rumors
that we were brutal.
We crossed the Notsan River.
They need to think differently now.
"They don't pillage.
"What's up with them?
"What kind of world do they want to make?"
So?
We should show them
the world we want to make.
And make them want the same thing.
I'm Cho Yakdu.
I'm Byeok Pungji.
They were dragged to Arthdal as slaves.
They know well about it.
CHO YAKDU: Yes.
Well, we don't know that well.
But we do know what is where.
Inaishingi.
You look like Arthdals dressed like that.
But why
You two will sneak into Arthdal.
And you need to meet someone.
Who?
Is it Tanya?
No.
That would be dangerous and difficult
since she's the High Priest.
Then
Father Yeolson.
(GASPS)
Relay this message.
I saved the Wahan Tribe
and I am going to Arthdal
to keep my promise.
Look forward and listen.
Enemy scouts are following us.
(GRUNTS)
Chase him!
Catch him.
What should we do with him?
CHOMO
It's over for you guys.
Go back to Hanchoa.
Now.
(COUGHS)
Inaishingi.
You're finally here.
I'm glad you look happy.
Isn't it all thanks to me?
I told you
that you would need subordinates.
Yes, it's thanks to you.
(LAUGHING) All 30 clans
of the Ago Tribe Gosh.
Don't you have too many subordinates?
No. There's not enough.
By the way,
how did you get involved in that?
I had a trade with the Bato Tribe.
And the commander asked for my help.
So I played the mediator.
Then they said
they wanted to kill Inaishingi.
I thought this was my chance. (CHUCKLES)
You must be sad that they failed.
By the way, do you think you'll win?
You don't know
how Arthdal warriors fight on plains.
We won't fight on the plains.
We'll fight in the forest
in front of Pyeongmirae Castle.
Oh That's not a bad idea.
But do you even know
who you're fighting?
Do you know
who was outside the tent?
Inaishingi.
Mirusol who went to scout has returned.
I didn't even get to the important part.
(EAGLE SQUAWKS)
MIRUSOL: The troops of Arthdal
are placed from Dosuri River
to Pyeongmirae Castle.
Their troops seem
to be thrice as many as ours.
Isn't the supply chain cut off?
How
How can they be this fast?
They left foot soldiers in Molabeol Castle
and only cavalry came.
MIRUSOL
- How much food do we have?
- If we cut back the rations
SUHANA
about five days.
It's a message from Arthdal.
"Warriors of the Ago Union.
"Do you want to starve for five days,
die within the stone walls,
"and wander in the dark?
"Or do you want to come
to Hanchoa Plains and be judged by Airuju
"and send your souls back
to the Agoha Forest?"
They were waiting for us
to attack Hanchoa.
MIRUSOL: Inaishingi.
We're at a disadvantage on the plains.
What should we do?
What else can we do?
We should fight on the plains.
That's the only way.
A way to death isn't a way.
We must find another way.
That other way
is starving to death inside
the stone walls.
I'll die fighting.
I won't let you die.
But one thing is that the Arthdal troops
placed themselves in Pyeongmirae so fast.
And another thing is that they know
that we have five days' worth of food.
Are you saying there's a yeomari?
YEOMARI: A SPY
I don't know.
But the information is being leaked
for sure.
PASA: Inaishingi.
What's urgent is right now.
Even if there's yeomari
EUNSEOM: Of course.
The problem is
can we win on the plains?
Yes, we can.
I'll tell you what we prepared
for a plains battle. First
From now until the battle,
everyone here
will eat and sleep together
with someone else.
Whoever is alone or disappears
is the enemy of the Ago Union.
(HORSE NEIGHS)
What's wrong with them?
It's not only here.
All the horses
in the stables are going crazy.
They were calm after eating hay just now.

You're not the only one ruling Arthdal
with fear.
SAYA: Inaishingi isn't my enemy.
He's Tagon's.
MUBAEK: Actually, there was no reason
for you two to fight.
EUNSEOM: Join the Ago Union.
We can beat Tagon.
TAGON: I want to know what happens next.

IGUTU: HALF BLOODS BORN BETWEEN
A SARAM AND A NEANTHAL
THEIR BLOOD IS PURPLE
AND ARE CONSIDERED CURSED BEINGS
IN ARTHDAL
FEMALE NARRATOR: In Arthdal,
there was a hidden prophecy from long ago.
The prophecy said three children
who each symbolize sword, bell, and mirror
will be born at the same time
and bring this world to an end.
The children of the prophecy were
Eunseom, Tanya, and Saya.
Eunseom and Saya were twins
and they were Igutus.
Their mother, Asa Hon,
fought against Tagon who tried to
annihilate Neanthals and protected them.
She fell in love with one of them
and gave birth to twin Igutus.
But in the end,
she lost her husband, Ragaz, to Tagon.
Even Saya, one of the twins,
was taken away by Tagon.
Asa Hon ran away with Eunseom
and Eunseom met
another child of the prophecy,
Tanya, a girl from the Wahan Tribe.
Saya, who was taken away by Tagon,
grew up in a civilization called Arthdal.
Eunseom and Tanya,
unaware of what the prophecy
about them even means,
grew up as members
of the Wahan Tribe in nature.
Then one day,
Arthdal invaded the Wahan Tribe.
A lot of people
of the Wahan Tribe were massacred.
But even more people
were taken to Arthdal as slaves.
Tanya became Arthdal's slave
and Eunseom barely managed to escape.
He promised to come back
to save Tanya and the Wahan Tribe.
Time passed by,
and Tagon's tyranny in Arthdal got worse.
To hide that he was an Igutu himself,
Tagon killed a lot of people.
And now,
every child of the prophecy
had become a hero.
Tanya was no longer a slave.
She became the high priest of Arthdal.
Eunseom became Inaishingi,
the leader of the Ago Tribe.
Saya became the commander of Arthdal.
However
Tanya still didn't know
whether Eunseom was alive or dead
and Saya didn't know that his lost brother
was the head of the enemy army.
Eunseom didn't even know
that he had a long lost twin brother.
Also, they still didn't know
what the prophecy that said
they would end this world truly meant.
But they will meet the fate
that the prophecy is pointing toward.
EPISODE 1: WEAK ONES
MALE NARRATOR:
The history of wind, stars, and blood.
I record the chronicle of Arthdal Kingdom.
Arthdal's calendar.
Year of the lazy bear.
The union ended
and Tagon became the king.
I will conquer the east!
Let us conquer the Ago Tribe!
ALL: Conquer the Ago Tribe!
Let's conquer!
Let's conquer!
MALE NARRATOR: However,
the conquest of the Ago Tribe
was stopped by an unexpected enemy.
Year of the crouching chicken.
The Ggachinol and the Bato Tribes
plotted revenge against Tagon
and rebelled.
(ALL EXCLAIMING)
(HORSES NEIGHING)
(MAN SCREAMING)
The fierce battle continued
for several years.
Year of the wise rat, month of the tiger.
In the end, King Tagon
went to fight in the battle himself.
(GROANING)
(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING)
TAGON: KING OF ARTHDAL
GITOHA: We got him.
Your long-lasting rebellion
has finally come to an end.
Oraha of Ggachinol.
ORAHA: HEAD OF A TRIBE
My King,
you ended the Ggachinol Tribe's rebellion.
Congratulations.
ALL: Congratulations.
MALE NARRATOR: What's left now
was the Bato Tribe by the Notsan River
and the reincarnation of Inaishingi
who unified 30 clans of the Ago Tribe
and took over the Agoha Forest.
He was Eunseom.
(GIRL SINGING) Inaishingi is here
Inaishingi is here
Stone walls will collapse
Homes will be ruined
The blue flame rages like a storm
They grew up in war and rebellion,
so these kids don't know fear.
Still, they must be afraid of Inaishingi
judging from the lyrics.
INAISHINGI: AGO TRIBE'S HERO
WHO DEFEATED ARAMUN HAESULLA 200 YEARS AGO
Right across the Notsan River over there
is the land of the Ago Tribe.
It stands to reason that the notoriety
of Inaishingi reached this land.
That notoriety will end now,
thanks to you.
Thanks for your hard work.
(SCOFFS) I do this for my business,
but Oraha of the Bato Tribe
made a big decision.
Probably because he's tired
of the long rebellion.
The amazing one is Lord Saya.
He came up with a plan
to get rid of Inaishingi
and the Bato Tribe at once.
Do you really think
Inaishingi will fall for it?
(GRUNTS)
SYOREUJAGIN: The Ago Tribe
desperately needs the Bato Tribe's help.
He'll definitely come.
SODANG: I heard nobody knows
Inaishingi's face except the Ago Tribe.
It's not just his face.
What his actual name is, where he's from.
Everything is unknown.
We just know that he is the reincarnation
of Inaishingi.
Have you really seen Inaishingi's face?
Yes, it's a face I'll never forget.
We need to make him
take off that ugly visor
and show his face today.
If Lord Saya sees his face
he'll be
very surprised.
NOTSAN RIVER
BATO TRIBE'S BASE
MAN: Inaishingi is coming.
In the name of Mihaje,
I welcome Inaishingi of the Ago Tribe.
Garutum Oraha,
the father of the Bato Tribe.
Inaishingi expresses
his deep gratitude at your invitation.
Please.
MILSOL OF ARTHDAL: HEAD OF
THE SECRET INTELLIGENCE ORGANIZATION
Get ready.
(GARUTUM LAUGHS)
Inaishingi.
Congratulations on uniting Ago
for the first time in 200 years.
Are you going to cross
the Notsan River and fight Arthdal?
Of course.
Inaishingi here
will get back the old land of Ago
ARAMUN HAESULLA: FOUNDER OF ARTHDAL UNION,
LEGENDARY HERO OF ARTHDAL
that Aramun Haesulla took away.
Yes. Since we, the Bato Tribe,
joined the Ago Union,
it will definitely happen.
I heard your fathers and elders
were brutally murdered by Tagon.
Once we enter Arthdal,
I'll cut off Tagon's head
and give it to you, Oraha.
GARUTUM: I appreciate it.
The Bato Tribe and the Ago Tribe
have become brothers now.
Let's have a drink of alliance.
- Bring it here.
- Yes, Oraha.
(LAUGHING)
GARUTUM: I can't believe
you're giving me such a precious thing.
(GASPS, LAUGHS)
Here.
Now.
We Bato and Ago
haven't interacted for a long time
with the Notsan River between us.
But in the year of the hungry snake,
we have become brothers.
The arrow of Mihaje
and the waterfall of Ago
will bless us today.
(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING)
SYOREUJAGIN: You said you'd cut off
Tagon's neck.
Isn't the Ago Tribe's goal
getting back their old land?
Are you aiming for Arthdal too?
Are you capable of that?
GARUTUM: What are you doing?
You're being disrespectful.
Since you're from Arthdal,
you must know
the power of the civilization.
Since you came from Gitbadak,
you must know how scary the world is.
GITBADAK: DEEPEST PART OF THE JEWEL MINE
How can you have
such an absurd idea, Inaishingi?
(CHUCKLES SOFTLY)
(LAUGHING)
(CONTINUES LAUGHING)
(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING)
EUNSEOM: LEADER OF THE AGO UNION,
THE REINCARNATION OF INAISHINGI
It really was you.
I heard the mediator was a merchant.
I spared your life
and with the jewels
you stole from Ipsaeng,
you became a successful merchant
for this?
Syoreujagin.
How are those jewels Ipsaeng's? It's mine.
You must've been scared,
seeing how you changed clothes.
But you can't leave here alive anyway.
EUNSEOM: I see.
There must be tons of soldiers outside.
Gosh.
I can't tell whether I would be alive
or dead by the end of the day.
Why just point it at me?
Just cut me.
Because you think you'll die too
if you kill me?
You're exchanging your life
with Inaishingi's.
Isn't that
an honor?
In your insignificant life,
the chance to kill Inaishingi has come.
You will become
the man who killed Inaishingi.
Countless songs written after you
will be sung.
The song of a legendary warrior
will be sung
in Arthdal across the Notsan River,
from Arthdal to White Peak Mountain,
and Atturad beyond White Peak Mountain.
Why are you hesitating?
You can't do it?
Then there will be no song.
What about this?
Do you know the swallow tail spell?
I'm not a danggeuri
DANGGEURI: A SHAMAN
but I'll try.
Now.
Let's say this is you.
And this
is your neck.
(YELLS)
Now
this time
let's say this is you.
Kill Inaishingi.
Now!
Now, shall we go out?
Why isn't he giving us the signal?
Everyone, stop!
Don't mind him. Kill them.
Stop!
He's holding the Oraha
of the Bato Tribe hostage.
(BREATH TREMBLING)
If he dies
won't you become the next oraha?
That man is Inaishingi.
MAN 1: Get him.
MAN 2: Attack.
Milsol!
(BREATH SHAKING)
Inaishingi, hurry up.
You must hurry.
Now.
Lord Saya.
SAYA: EUNSEOM'S TWIN, TAGON'S ADOPTED SON
You
are Inaishingi?
(GRUNTS)
Chase him.
Keep chasing.
There's a river up front.
(THUNDERCLAP)
(INDISTINCT SHOUTING)
SODANG: They caught him.
This is the end of Inaishingi.
SAYA: You
are really Inaishingi?
MAN: Get off and drop your weapons.
God only punishes the weak.
Give up, Inaishingi.
That's right.
Whichever God it is,
they punish the weak.
It's a whistle arrow.
WHISTLE ARROW: AN ARROW THAT MAKES A SOUND
As warriors yourselves,
you know what this means, right?
Good job coming this far.
Weak ones.
Now receive
your punishment.

TAEALHA: ARTHDAL'S QUEEN CONSOR
Yes, Arok.
Your father must've finished it well.
AROK: TAGON AND TAEALHA'S SON
Then the Bato Tribe
in the north is the only one left.
That's right.
But it has been two years
since Lord Saya went to subdue them.
ASA PIL
It seems like you need to grow up quickly
and head north yourself.
(ALL LAUGHING)
MAN: The king defeated
the Ggachinol Tribe!
ALL: He's here!
Hurrah!
Hurrah!
Hurrah!
Darn you.
MEN: Tagon.
We sincerely congratulate you
on your victory.
The Queen isn't here.
Please let us through.
I need to give this to the prince.
Please? It will only take a moment.
You guys don't understand.
What is this about?
I'm a bachi of Aram Village.
I have something to give to the prince.
They're from Aram Village.
HAE TUAK, HAE YEOBI
They have something they want
to give to Prince Arok.
- Should I send them away?
- Your Highness.
I'm a bachi of Aram Village.
BACHI: A CRAFTSMAN OR ENGINEER
I'm not good enough,
but I made something for the prince.
I want to give it to him.
TAEALHA: Wait.
Let him open the box himself
and bring the box opened.
AROK: What is this?
How do you use it?
If you'll allow me,
I'll show you how to use it.
Wow.
I want this.

(MAN GRUNTS)
(GROANS)
(EXHALES)
You don't need to commit suicide.
You don't even need to bite your tongue.
I know
you won't tell who was behind this.
But you can't die on your own.
Why?
Because your life isn't yours.
Arok.
AROK: Yes, Mother.
He tried to kill you.
The life of the person
who tried to kill you is yours.
End it.
(BREATHING HEAVILY)
Here, Arok.
Come on.
(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING)
(SCREAMING)
(THUDS)
Good job.
Let's go.
Arok, you did something wrong. What is it?
I'm shaking too much.
Your father and I were like that
at first too.
Other than that.
I wasn't able to do it alone.
You can get help when it's difficult.
That's fine.
I don't know.
This.
You said you wanted this.
What you want, what you must have.
Don't forget that under any circumstances.
Yes, Mother.
Find out what poison was used
for the needle.
I will.
GILSEON: Someone tried
to assassinate them.
What? What do you mean? Assassination?
So is everyone safe?
Yes. Thankfully,
the Queen handled them all.
Grand Commander Mubaek.
Tomorrow, lead two corps
and leave for Pyeongmire Castle first.
Yes, Your Majesty.
GREAT COMMANDER MUBAEK
Are we finally going to war?
Not yet.
But we'll fight them soon.
WARRIOR YEONBAL, WARRIOR GITOHA
So train hard.
Yes, Your Majesty.

What are those things on their wrists?
They're bracelets made
in the Great Shrine.
I know where they're made.
Why are they wearing them?

You are right.
My sin is bigger
than the Great Gochiju Rock.
Don't blame yourself.
Don't blame yourself.
Carry it out.
(SOBBING)
(CHIMES)
Pray for the children you killed.
I will pray for your child.
(CRYING)
How can you do it
for someone as lowly as me?
Both a high priest and a mere guard
are just descendants of Asa Sin
if we think the same.
(SOBBING)
BAKRYANGPUNG: Mubaek.
WARRIOR BAKRYANGPUNG
Are you going to see Niruha
before you leave?
While I'm gone,
take good care of Niruha.
Don't worry, Mubaek.
My life is already dedicated
to Tanya Niruha.
That night when the new moon rose,
I saw the prophecy,
the curse that Niruha said,
coming true right in front of my eyes.
She killed everyone else and saved me.
It's the life that Niruha gave.
By the way,
did you tell Niruha about that place?
I'll tell her about it
and take her there when I come back.
How happy would she be to see it?
The correct history will be recorded now.
Actually, I know.
What you, Tanya Niruha,
and Saya are planning to do together.
Defeating King Tagon
Who said that nonsense?
I'll join you, Mubaek. (CHUCKLES SOFTLY)
MOA: Niruha.
MOA
As you said, I relayed everything to Doti.
Did you do it well?
What did you say?
There are people who take wealth,
and there are people who take hearts,
as for the guard who came today,
treat him with more care
than the others who take hearts.
That's what I told her.
How many people
do Doti treat with care now?
Sorry?
Well
I don't know.
(CHUCKLES) Of course you shouldn't know.
Why? Do you want to hear
Asa Sin's words?
Niruha, will you tell me
about her today too?
Yes. Sit down.
Okay, Niruha.

(WHISPERS)
(DOOR CLOSES)
I heard someone tried
to assassinate Prince Arok.
Who was it?
It might be the Bato Tribe
from Ttesarichon who holds grudges.
The queen might have staged it.
Or the king might've staged it.
You've changed a lot too, Mubaek.
They all have motivations.
If it's about motivations,
Saya would have the biggest one.
Who will become Arthdal's successor?
Lord Saya
decided to follow the way
of the world you're going to make.
It probably isn't him.
You're probably right.
Looking at how Saya
is searching for Eunseom desperately.
I'm sure Eunseom is definitely alive.
You will meet him.
If you leave now,
when will you come back?
I'm not sure.
The order was given suddenly.
Maybe this time
a war might really break out.
Take care of yourself on the long journey.
Don't get injured.
Make sure you come back.
Congratulations on your victory, my King.
I heard about what happened.
I'm glad you're both safe.
I'll change the guards
and the servants of Arok
and pick new ones.
I'll move his chamber
to somewhere deep in the palace
and make Gilseon manage everyone he meets.
The same goes for your people.
What about Saya?
Shouldn't you do something about Saya?
What do you mean?
Who do you think did it? It's Saya.
It's been two years
since Saya went to Hanchoa.
Saya is the head of the bangs,
and so are the assassins.
BANG OF ROYAL ADMINISTRATION MILSOL: HEAD
OF THE SECRET INTELLIGENCE ORGANIZATION
- It's obvious.
- You want to think it's obvious.
You must be worried about Saya.
This happened
because you didn't decide the successor.
You didn't perform
the sacred ritual for Arok,
let alone the ritual of wind and flower!
I'm not the one that performs it.
The high priest does it.
If you ask, Tanya will do it.
Is that even an excuse?
I subdued the rebellion
and came back today.
(BREATH TREMBLING)
YANGCHA: Niruha.
(GASPS)
You must've had a dream.
But why
Yes.
It was a scary dream.
YANGCHA
Niruha.
YEONBAL: Your Highness.
We're having a conversation. Leave.
The Ago Tribe crossed the Notsan River.
And Hanchoa Castle
What about it?
Who knew the Ago Tribe
would suddenly conquer Hanchoa Castle?
The King would've known.
He was waiting for it.
Pardon? What do you mean, Your Highness?
The rebellion of Ggachinol's over now,
and the Ago Tribe crossed
the Notsan River. It's perfect timing.
Isn't that right, my King?
It's as she said.
To the plains
You wanted to drag them out to the plains.
That is right.
If we fight the Ago Tribe
in that gigantic Agoha Forest,
it would become an endless war.
Just like during the Neanthal Hunt.
Even Aramun lost to Inaishingi
in the Agoha Forest.
But they're in the plains now.
But isn't it too late?
Mobon Castle, Pyeongmire, and Molabeol.
If we lose any of the three,
our trade route will get cut off,
and they will form a supply route.
Even if we prepare the corps quickly
They
already left.
Yes. Your Majesty sent the corps
of Great Commander Mubaek
to Pyeongmirae.
Corps One, Five, and Nine.
Get ready to leave
for Hanchoa immediately.
Hanchoa Plains will be the place
for our final battle.
- Yes, Your Majesty.
- Yes, Your Majesty.
(DOOR CREAKING)
(FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING)
Milsol is back.
Did you know?
Eunseom isn't exactly a common name.
MUNGTAE: WAHAN TRIBE, ARTHDAL'S WARRIOR
When I heard that name from Red Claw,
at first, it was hard for me
to believe either.
It's amazing that the person
we thought dead was alive.
But Inaishingi?
Have you ever seen the face
of Eunseom?
Not clearly.
It was for an instant in the dark,
and he was dressed up as a warrior.
He's your first opponent
that you'll have to beat
purely with your strength.
You'll be the general of the conquest.
You know what this means, right?
Once you win this war,
you'll be qualified
as my successor.
I found my benetbeot, Niruha.
BENETBEOT: TWIN BROTHER
You found Eunseom?
I wish I hadn't.
Then I could continue to miss him.
My brother.
What do you mean?
It means the beautiful plan made
by Niruha, Mubaek, and me
is falling apart.
Explain so I can understand.
"Let's find the brothers of Bell,
Mirror, and Sword.
"Let those who think alike come together,
defeat Tagon
"and make a new world.
"Mubaek will help too."
Yes, that's what I said.
You wanted to see the world
we were going to make together.
I did.
Brothers. Thinking alike.
Together.
The world.
I liked how they sounded.
So? Did something change?
What happened?
Why are you acting like this?
Eunseom is Inaishingi.
INAISHINGI: LEGENDARY HERO
OF AGO TRIBE THAT REINCARNATES
Inaishingi is Eunseom.
And I'll go to war
as the general of the troops.
What
do you mean?
He's my enemy now.
He's someone
I need to beat with my strength alone.
I must kill him. And
Eunseom will die of course.
We know every strategy of the Ago Tribe.
They don't know how strong we are.
Besides, they came out to the plains.
They are no match for us.
That fool.
So, you better make another plan.
How is that possible?
He's not even from the Ago Tribe.
How can he become Inaishingi
of the Ago Tribe?
It doesn't make sense.
They said Inaishingi was brutal.
Is it
really Eunseom?
Tagon knew before me.
Then
you and Eunseom
He doesn't know that he's my benetbeot.
So
I must kill him fast
before he finds out.
What about Eunseom?
Did Eunseom see you?
If he did,
does that change anything?
Can you stop the war?
We're going to wipe out the Ago Tribe now.
Can you save Eunseom
with your psychic ability of the gods?
I asked if he saw you.
He didn't.
Because
I hid like a fool.
What?
Goodness.
That horse has a better life than me.
He comes in whenever he wants.
It's as if he owns this place.
Then should we tie up a spirit?
You'll get punished.
DOTI: WAHAN TRIBE, TANYA'S ASSOCIATE
Helper came all the way here alone
to find Tanya Niruha.
Spirit, my foot.
It's a bad horse nobody can ride.
Uh By the way,
why do you keep talking casually to me?
DOTI: We're close.
In Iark, we speak casually if we're close.
IARK: WAHAN TRIBE'S HOME
BOTH: (GASPING) Niruha.
Doti.
I'm here to see Helper.
Helper.
Eunseom is the leader
of the Ago Union, Inaishingi.
(HORSE WHINNIES)
The owner of your name commands.
Help Eunseom.
Save Eunseom. Please.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING)
NUNBYEOL: NEANTHAL
(GRUNTS)
It's fine because it's dark.
I'll be quick.
You can't go out
without the head's permission.
CHAEEUN: NUNBYEOL'S OLDER SISTER, DOCTOR
He'll allow me to.
There's a type of herb I need.
Nunbyeol.
(GROANS)
Since when did you become like this?
How long can you hold it?
Let my sister and me go.
Nunbyeol, stop.
CHAEEUN: Nunbyeol.
(COUGHING)
What's wrong with her?
You said it was complete.
It's because she used her powers.
She got too worked up.
If she draws up her power
through breathing,
she's a perfect Neanthal.
Breathing?
NEANTHAL: MORE POWERFUL THAN SARAMS,
HAS BLUE BLOOD
How long until the perfect state?
About seven minutes.
Then can she beat
Tagon's monstrous strength?
She's the only Neanthal in the world
that uses swords.
What could beat her?
But there's no way
Tagon would wait for seven minutes.
What do you want?
Why do you want me to treat Nunbyeol?
Let us go. We'll leave quietly.
(SCOFFS)
Will she leave too?
Hmm.
She can never give up.
That's right.
I can't give up.
I'm going to take revenge.
What do you want from us?
Tagon.
I want the same thing that she wants.
Listen carefully. I'll send you
into the palace as a servant.
Just wait for a while.
Without my command
No.
You can call it a discussion.
Anyway, if you act as you please
then
your sister will be in danger.
Why will she be in danger?
Chaeeun will go
to the battlefield with me.
You better listen to me very well
and take care of me well.
From now on, our lives are one.
If I don't come back
to Arthdal safe and sound
who knows what might be
in her food that she'll eat in the palace?
What?
So
you guys are each other's hostage.
Also we're all on the same side.
"My lady.
"How big is the world's sky?
"The sky in the tower
"is too small.
"When my father comes,
will I be able to see the wide sky?"
Saya.
He was a poor thing.
A young child trapped
in a small space without his mom.
I never imagined I would see you alive.
Asa Yon.
Me neither.
I just follow Asa Sakan's wishes.
I need the Children of Shahati.
CHILDREN OF SHAHATI: WHITE MOUNTAIN
TRIBE'S SECRET ASSASSIN GROUP
Who do you want to send to God
It's okay. She can neither hear nor speak.
I see.
Where should I send them to?
A battlefield.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING)
MAN 1: This war is an opportunity
for me to become filthy rich.
MAN 2: Gosh,
there will be tons of war slaves.
MAN 3: We don't even have grains to eat.
War, my foot.
- MAN 4: Just come back alive.
- MAN 5: Protect Arthdal.
MAN 6: Dear God.
I just need to get through the war.
- MAN 7: Please protect us.
- MAN 8: Protect Arthdal.
MAN 9: Protect Arthdal.
This is my blood.
With this, your blood won't be shed.
With this, your army won't scatter
or collapse.
Airuju.
AIRUJU: GREATEST OF THE EIGHT GODS OF ARTH
Protect all our warriors.
Come back alive,
Saya.
- What about Eunseom?
- Don't kill him.
He's your benetbeot.
(ALL CHEERING)
NEAR HANCHOA CASTLE, AGO ARMY'S BARRACKS
- Where's Syoreujagin?
- I tied him up.
We need to make him spill
everything he knows.
We need to move to Pyeongmirae
in three days and get ready.
Mirusol will go to Pyeongmirae
to scout as soon as the sun rises.
The problem's bronze weapons.
We didn't fight properly, but the weapons
of those in front got damaged.
IPSAENG: EUNSEOM'S ADVISER
We can't make bronze weapons
nor repair them.
(SIGHS)
After two or three more big fights,
things will get bad.
How many weapons are in Hanchoa Castle?
Tae Maja went to
Hanchoa Castle's armory to check.
DALSAE: WAHAN TRIBE, EUNSEOM'S FRIEND
When he comes back
MAN: Let me go.
Darn it.
What happened?
She lives here in Hanchoa.
This punk
beat him up like this.
Why?
He took something away,
and he attacked saying it was his.
I'm sorry.
I was feeling very elated because we won,
but he kept ruining the fun.
I lost my temper for a moment.
It won't happen again.
Please forgive him.
Don't do this.
We'll pay back what he took away.
We'll treat your injuries.
I forgive you.
I forgive you, of course.
Thank you.
You made Inaishingi kneel.
(BREATH TREMBLING)
(CRIES)
In my entire life, and even in stories,
I never heard of an army
that did not pillage.
But Eunseom is trying to do it.
We should do this much.
We must spread the word about
what happened today to everyone.
- That way, we Ago
- Hey.
Even if you try to stop them
TACHUKAN
the news will spread
by tomorrow morning.
No. Not only to our army,
but to the enemies.
And everywhere around Arthdal.
You told us to spread rumors
that we were brutal.
We crossed the Notsan River.
They need to think differently now.
"They don't pillage.
"What's up with them?
"What kind of world do they want to make?"
So?
We should show them
the world we want to make.
And make them want the same thing.
I'm Cho Yakdu.
I'm Byeok Pungji.
They were dragged to Arthdal as slaves.
They know well about it.
CHO YAKDU: Yes.
Well, we don't know that well.
But we do know what is where.
Inaishingi.
You look like Arthdals dressed like that.
But why
You two will sneak into Arthdal.
And you need to meet someone.
Who?
Is it Tanya?
No.
That would be dangerous and difficult
since she's the High Priest.
Then
Father Yeolson.
(GASPS)
Relay this message.
I saved the Wahan Tribe
and I am going to Arthdal
to keep my promise.
Look forward and listen.
Enemy scouts are following us.
(GRUNTS)
Chase him!
Catch him.
What should we do with him?
CHOMO
It's over for you guys.
Go back to Hanchoa.
Now.
(COUGHS)
Inaishingi.
You're finally here.
I'm glad you look happy.
Isn't it all thanks to me?
I told you
that you would need subordinates.
Yes, it's thanks to you.
(LAUGHING) All 30 clans
of the Ago Tribe Gosh.
Don't you have too many subordinates?
No. There's not enough.
By the way,
how did you get involved in that?
I had a trade with the Bato Tribe.
And the commander asked for my help.
So I played the mediator.
Then they said
they wanted to kill Inaishingi.
I thought this was my chance. (CHUCKLES)
You must be sad that they failed.
By the way, do you think you'll win?
You don't know
how Arthdal warriors fight on plains.
We won't fight on the plains.
We'll fight in the forest
in front of Pyeongmirae Castle.
Oh That's not a bad idea.
But do you even know
who you're fighting?
Do you know
who was outside the tent?
Inaishingi.
Mirusol who went to scout has returned.
I didn't even get to the important part.
(EAGLE SQUAWKS)
MIRUSOL: The troops of Arthdal
are placed from Dosuri River
to Pyeongmirae Castle.
Their troops seem
to be thrice as many as ours.
Isn't the supply chain cut off?
How
How can they be this fast?
They left foot soldiers in Molabeol Castle
and only cavalry came.
MIRUSOL
- How much food do we have?
- If we cut back the rations
SUHANA
about five days.
It's a message from Arthdal.
"Warriors of the Ago Union.
"Do you want to starve for five days,
die within the stone walls,
"and wander in the dark?
"Or do you want to come
to Hanchoa Plains and be judged by Airuju
"and send your souls back
to the Agoha Forest?"
They were waiting for us
to attack Hanchoa.
MIRUSOL: Inaishingi.
We're at a disadvantage on the plains.
What should we do?
What else can we do?
We should fight on the plains.
That's the only way.
A way to death isn't a way.
We must find another way.
That other way
is starving to death inside
the stone walls.
I'll die fighting.
I won't let you die.
But one thing is that the Arthdal troops
placed themselves in Pyeongmirae so fast.
And another thing is that they know
that we have five days' worth of food.
Are you saying there's a yeomari?
YEOMARI: A SPY
I don't know.
But the information is being leaked
for sure.
PASA: Inaishingi.
What's urgent is right now.
Even if there's yeomari
EUNSEOM: Of course.
The problem is
can we win on the plains?
Yes, we can.
I'll tell you what we prepared
for a plains battle. First
From now until the battle,
everyone here
will eat and sleep together
with someone else.
Whoever is alone or disappears
is the enemy of the Ago Union.
(HORSE NEIGHS)
What's wrong with them?
It's not only here.
All the horses
in the stables are going crazy.
They were calm after eating hay just now.
(HELPER WHINNIES)
Helper.
Did you do this?
(SNORTS)
Stop it, Helper.

ARTHDAL CHRONICLES: THE SWORD OF ARAMUN

TAEALHA: The general may be smart,
but he learned how to battle from books.
SAYA: He destroyed
Arthdal's most elite troops.
(SCREAMING)
You're not the only one ruling Arthdal
with fear.
SAYA: Inaishingi isn't my enemy.
He's Tagon's.
MUBAEK: Actually, there was no reason
for you two to fight.
EUNSEOM: Join the Ago Union.
We can beat Tagon.
TAGON: I want to know what happens next.
TAEALHA: Where's Shahati?
YEOBI: It might be over by now.

might change Arth's history.
