TACHUKAN: Then is there any other way
besides them?
EUNSEOM: In the name of Xabara Karika,
I request repayment.
PREVIOUSLY ON ARTHDAL CHRONICLES:
THE SWORD OF ARAMUN
(ALL CHEERING)
EUNSEOM: Big bellows,
a huge kiln, and bachis who can work.
If you have all of these,
how long will it take?
It will take about a dalpo.
(HAWK SCREECHING)
SUHANA: Molabeol Castle is sturdy.
- It won't be easy.
- EUNSEOM: No.
Not Molabeol Castle.
We'll attack Mobon Castle.
We'll attack Molabeol Castle immediately.
Molabeol Castle?
BADORU: Charge!
(SOLDIERS YELLING)
TAGON: Everyone, look.
I've prepared something for the general.
You said this, right?
You told me to kill everyone.
- Your Majesty.
- It's confusing, right?
Am I really crazy
or am I pretending to be crazy?
- TANYA: Tell me your plan.
- We'll kill Tagon and accept Inaishingi
into Arthdal.
You met Eunseom.
Your Majesty.
Come back to how you were before.
GITOHA: Stop now!
Is this why you became a king?
Execute Yeonbal and Gitoha
with Daeyok Punishment.
(SOLDIERS GROANING)
SAYA: The king is possessed by a gosal.
His eyes are blurred
and his mind is confused,
so the sacred spirit
of Aramun has already left the king.
His evil grew
and brought upon a catastrophe.
I, General Saya, will slay that evil.
TAGON: Your father died so unfairly.
How did you endure it?
I'll get revenge.
Do you think you can get revenge?
(TALISMAN RINGS)
TANYA: Some of them are not dead.
It's a trap.
It's pathetic.
What you missed tonight is
EPISODE 9: REMEMBER MY FACE
I'm the strongest creature
in the world.
(YELLS)
(GRUNTS)
(BOTH STRAINING)
(SOLDIERS GRUNTING)
Come this way quickly!
Quickly!
MAN: Get out of my way!
(BREATHING HEAVILY)
CHAEEUN
ROYAL GUARD HEAD GILSEON
The king knew everything.
You were fooled by him.
Yes.
That's right.
(DAGGER CLATTERS)
COMMANDER SODANG
You're still as wise as ever.
If Tagon is dead,
you'll have to be wise this time.
(LAUGHING)
That frail girl of an assassin?
I told you, he knows everything.
Who in Arthdal, no,
what Saram in this world
can fight the king alone and win?
I'm saying this
because she's not a Saram.
(BOTH GRUNTING)
NUNBYEOL: Do you know
what the worst thing you did was?
Killing a child's parents
in front of them.
(TAGON GROANS)
Right in front of their eyes.
Father, Mother.
I'll send him to you now.
No, Arok. Run!
I told you to run.
Stop.
- Don't hurt Father.
- TAGON: Arok, hurry up!
Nunbyeol.
I'll die.
Don't harm Arok. Please!
I'll die.
HARIM: I'll die.
Please let the children go.
I'm the only one that needs to die.
Just me!
TAGON: I'll die.
AROK: Don't kill him.
TAGON: Kill me!
Don't kill
my father.
YOUNG NUNBYEOL: Don't kill him.
Please.
Father did nothing wrong.
Please.
(SOBBING) Don't kill him.
Don't hurt him.
Nunbyeol.
It's a trap.
We need to run away.
What are you doing here?
Hurry up!
The soldiers are coming!
No.
I must kill him.
You'll lose your strength soon.
Even if you kill him, you can't escape.
It's fine even if I don't.
(SHUDDERS)
You crazy wenches.
Drop the knife.
Back off. I said, back off.
Nunbyeol.
- (BONES CRACK)
- (GROANING)
(GROANING)
(DOORS OPEN)
Niruha, you were right.
YANGCHA
Commanders Yeonbal and Gitoha were alive.
AGAJI
MOMYEONGJIN
(ALL GASPING)
(SIGHING)
- Arok.
- Father.
DAMHI: You shouldn't stand up.
You must rest--
I can't rest tonight.
I will be very busy tonight.
It may be hard to get some sleep,
but lie down, close your eyes,
and pretend you're walking in a forest.
Keep walking until a dream
comes to you.
I will, Father.
GILSEON: Your Majesty.
Those in front of the palace
have been subdued.
The queen has been arrested too.
As for the Neanthal,
we are looking for her, but--
- What about Saya?
- Lord Saya has been apprehended.
Out of all the rebels,
30% have died, 20% have escaped,
and the rest have surrendered.
The damage done
to the Third Corps is minor.
Right. Captains Pyeonmi
and Sanggal are dead.
And Bakryangpung ran away.
We're currently pursuing him.
(WOUNDED SOLDIERS GROANING)
AROK: Mother.
Step back, Prince Arok.
You must not come here.
Prince Arok, we must leave.
(BREATHING HEAVILY)
Royal Guard Mungtae.
Do you think
I will become a king in the future
or not?
Place your bet.
Which will you bet on?
TAEALHA: Wait.
I just want to talk to him.
I don't know when I'll see him again.
What can I even do?
AROK: Mother.
(AROK SOBBING GENTLY)
Were you the one
who hurt Father?
I heard he's all right.
Both your father and I
are all right.
We might not be able
to see each other for a while
but make sure to remember this
I
will never die.
(BOTTLE CLATTERS)
(FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING)
It has no smell.
Is this bichwisan?
A TYPE OF POISON THAT IS COLORLESS,
ODORLESS, AND TASTELESS
It's not a choice you would make.
This isn't a choice you would make either.
You wanted to get rid of me even if
it meant acting like you lost your mind.
I couldn't go to war
and leave Arthdal in your hands.
I had no choice.
(INHALES DEEPLY)
Why don't you give that to me?
I lived my whole life
thinking I was the only one
who could save myself.
I also want to be the one
to end my own life.
That sounds plausible.
But not today.
You are Arok's mother.
(TAGON HUMMING)
(SOLDIERS GRUNTING)
(WOMEN GRUNTING)
Hae Yeobi, be more careful, will you?
HAE TUAK
HAE YEOBI
Go!
(SOLDIERS EXCLAIMING)
(HAE TUAK STRAINING)
Niruha, the king will arrive soon.
Let's escape for now.
Go to Eunseom.
Go and give this to him.
And stay there for a while.
You want me to go to the Ago Tribe?
Isn't your mother there?
I knew it.
- What about you?
- I must stay.
And you must deliver this to Eunseom.
That's nonsense.
I'll get someone else to do it.
I'm trying to save you.
There's no way the king doesn't know
that you're involved. You'll die for sure.
But he cannot kill me.
In this game, whoever kills me loses.
When I decided to be on your side,
I was prepared to die.
I told you to be on my side in my fight.
I didn't tell you to die.
Nor am I going to let you.
But Tagon
will try to kill you first.
Your life is in the way
of the fight I need to fight now.
This is an order. Leave. Now.
Let me fight freely, Yangcha.
(DOORS OPEN)
You know what it is, right?
I guess there's no way for me to live.
No.
There is.
It's this.
It's an iron sword.
There's only one way for you to live.
You have to let me win completely.
I've already lost.
What more do I need to lose?
Take this sword
and kill Tanya.
There was a rebellion.
The rebels killed
the reincarnation of Asa Sin.
And the king suppressed the rebellion.
Externally, you'll be announced dead.
But I'll spare your life
and let you go far away.
What do you think?
Is it too hard to decide?
If you thought
that was difficult for me
you really don't know me.
This is
how we end.
Could there have been another way?
Back then
Why did you bring me?
You could've just walked away
or killed me.
Back then
I was younger than you are now
and I was foolish.
If you didn't bring me here
I apologize.
You're fake.
No. We are all
fake.
You, the reincarnation of Aramun,
and I, who wanted to be your heir.
We're both fake.
Yes, we are all fake.
They're all legends.
(SHUDDERS)
No, it's not a legend.
SAYA: The real one is coming.
The real Aramun.
(GAGS)
(WEAKLY) You must've heard
about Inaishingi riding Kanmoreu.
It's not Kanmoreu.
LEGENDARY HORSE RIDDEN BY ARAMUN
It must be some kind of a trick.
I might die here like this
but you
will die at my hands.
Remember
my face.
(GAGGING)
(CHOKING)
There will be no funeral.
Throw him away
so wild rats eat his eyes,
crows peck at his heart
and his body rots away slowly.
(FLAMING FANNING)
MOLABEOL CASTLE, BLACKSMITH
(GRUNTING)
How's the damage of our troops?
Thankfully, close to none.
MIRUSOL
Except one fool
who fell off the wall by accident.
All their troops have been sent to Mobon
and the general in charge ran away.
DALSAE
It was easy.
CHOSAI: Inaishingi.
They'll start producing swords
with the iron from the meteorite
CHOSAI - PASA
- so you'll get to see iron swords soon.
- That's right.
Those from Arthdal will be shocked when
they see iron swords on the battlefield.
(LAUGHING)
EUNSEOM: I wonder how great
an iron sword we can make.
Iron swords are iron swords.
What do you mean?
The iron sword made by Father Yeolson
was much longer
than what we're trying to make.
Our iron swords might not be as strong.
We'll cross that bridge when we get to it.
We were stumped due to our weapons,
so this is great.
I'm very excited. (CHUCKLES)
What's wrong?
Inaishingi, what will you do?
About Elder Suhana.
(CHOMO GROANING)
SUHANA
SUHANA: How clumsy.
CHOMO
- Do you actually feel pain?
- My heart.
My heart hurts.
I was such a fool.
(CHOMO GROANS)
- Inaishingi.
- CHOMO: Inaishingi.
What was the point
of you destroying the castle wall?
He still climbed up there,
sprained his ankle,
and fell down.
CHOMO: Gosh, Suhana.
Will we be able to win?
Your words have power.
If you say we're going to win,
we will win.
Everything you say will come true.
Come to think of it,
the swallow tail spell
you taught me before
is something like that.
It makes what you say come true.
That's what spells are.
They create power with words.
(SURGICAL TOOL CLINKS)
Then
shall we say this is you?
Pardon?
TACHUKAN
Continue.
When we crossed the Notsan River,
how did they know
we were heading to Pyeongmire?
Also, how did they know
about the military supply
of Hanchoa Castle?
Also, how did they know
about our plan to attack Mobon Castle
and moved their troops?
Inaishingi.
What you're saying is--
I told you to continue!
I don't know what misunderstanding
has occurred,
but why are you doubting me?
What about this?
- I just thought
- Don't explain.
- a sword like this would be nice--
- I drew it!
I drew this in Arthdal.
I simply drew this on the spot.
You must've received an order from Arthdal
to find someone using a sword like this.
Inaishingi, you're mistaken.
You shouldn't do this.
I'm the elder of the Tae Clan.
I'm worried about the union falling apart.
Tae Maja.
I, Tae Maja,
the heir of the Tae Clan's chief,
did as you ordered.
I followed you and caught this.
Since when was it?
When we took over Hanchoa Castle?
When we crossed the Notsan River? Or
after the last unity with the Byeok Clan?
(CHUCKLING NERVOUSLY)
(LAUGHING)
Since when?
Since when?
Thirty years.
It has been more than 30 years.
(CONTINUES LAUGHING)
When I first arrived in the Agoha Forest,
when I got married
to the chief of the Tae Clan,
and when I became an elder,
I was always
Tagon's person.
(LAUGHING)
(YELLS)
(GRUNTS)
Lock her up.
(SUHANA CONTINUES LAUGHING)
THE GREAT SHRINE
(DOORS OPEN)
MAN: The king has arrived.
I heard there was a big calamity
last night.
But you're safe,
so Airuju must have looked after you.
THE GREATEST OF ARTH'S EIGHT GODS
You're just as shameless as Asa Ron.
ASA RON: FORMER HIGH PRIES
(SCOFFS) I'll consider that a compliment.
But I'm in the position to do so.
Do you really think I can't harm you?
If you really had lost your mind,
I would've been afraid.
But you have such a clear mind.
How can the reincarnation of Aramun
harm the descendant of Asa Sin?
ASA SIN: ARTHDAL'S LEGENDARY DIVINE MOTHER
Do you really think so?
Aramun has been Asa Sin's messenger
for 200 years.
The moment you kill me, you're not Aramun.
As long as you're tied
to that grand name of Aramun,
you can't do anything to me.
I'm sure you know well.
You're right.
I can't do it myself.
So I told Saya that if he killed you
in the Great Shrine, I'd let him live.
But he did not hesitate.
Without hesitation, he drank bichwisan.
What, didn't you know?
I thought you would have known
with your psychic ability of the gods.
Saya is dead.
(SHUDDERING)
So things have become bothersome.
When you died,
I was going to build a huge statue of you.
So my plans have changed.
You'll become a god instead of a statue,
like that Airuju.
Airuju doesn't appear
in the world directly.
We can neither see, touch,
nor hear Airuju's voice.
You cannot go out into the world anymore.
Only I will deliver your thoughts,
God's thoughts, to the people.
I see you helped Yangcha escape.
Good job.
I was going to tear off his limbs
one by one in front of you,
and kill him slowly for a long time.
Right.
Pray a lot for me.
Molabeol Castle has been taken over.
Inaishingi has advanced
right in front of Arthdal.
CHOJAHA: Molabeol Castle?
They'll reach Arthdal
as soon as they pass the Arth Forest.
Commander.
You let those beasts take over the castle?
COMMANDER GITOHA
COMMANDER DUPA
I have no excuse.
YEOLSON
What about that iron sword thing?
I heard it is a great weapon.
They will be distributed to every soldier
in the near future.
Well, then we have nothing to worry about.
They were of no match to begin with,
and now we'll be armed
with iron swords too.
Nothing to worry about.
TAGON: The Ago Tribe will make them too.
ALL: Your Majesty.
CHOJAHA: Your Majesty.
Did you say the Ago Tribe
will make iron swords?
- How can they--
- A bachi of the Hae Tribe
is helping them.
Then we don't know
how the war will unfold now.
GILSEON: You're going too far.
They have strong momentum,
but they're Ago's beasts.
We don't have Great Commander Mubaek.
Who will lead the army now?
Don't you understand, Minister?
TAGON: Yeonbal, Gitoha.
BOTH: Yes, Your Majesty.
I'll lead the commanders of Arthdal
to the battlefield
and wash our brothers' bodies
with the blood of Inaishingi.
I, Tagon, the reincarnation of Aramun
and king of Arthdal,
will lead the troops and go to war myself
in the year of the hungry snake,
the month of the dog.
CHINJEONG: A KING LEADING THE TROOPS
(FLAMES FANNING)
KARAT: Faster!
HAE KKADAK
Be more careful
with all your heart and soul.
It will change the history (LAUGHING)
MIRUSOL, BADORU
of the continent.
MIRUSOL: What's with him?
Why is he acting like that?
BADORU: I don't know.
I don't want to know.
MIRUSOL: Hey.
Aren't you leaving?
That galma or whatever is resolved,
so get lost now.
Get lost?
KARAT: (IN OTHER LANGUAGE) Goodness.
(IN KOREAN) Your attitude
has completely changed now.
Who took out all of those?
- I did.
- Then just take them back
- with you.
- (SIZZLES)
You're getting in my way, so get out.
(IN OTHER LANGUAGE)
I was just
(IN KOREAN) Get out.
Get out.
(MUTTERS)
(SOLDIERS GRUNTING RHYTHMICALLY)
MAN: Again.
(RUMBLING)
(SOLDIERS YELLING)
(SOLDIERS GRUNTING RHYTHMICALLY)
IPSAENG: Do you want to join us?
You startled me.
Join you for what?
Are you serious, Inaishingi?
Yes. Join us.
As you said,
the history of the continent will change.
You want to join us, don't you?
(IN OTHER LANGUAGE) Mm Actually
(IN KOREAN) Yes, that's true.
But I can't do that.
Why?
Is it because of the galma?
EVERYTHING TO REPAY
That's right, galma.
I took revenge for my brother and I
returned the favor of the golden shell.
So I'm a jejeki now.
Jejeki?
"Jeje" means a newborn baby
in Momo language. What does that mean?
A newborn baby-like state.
I have no favor nor enemy, like a baby.
In the Momo Tribe, when babies die,
they go to the Land of Light.
If I die now,
I'll go to the Land of Light too.
But if I join you,
that would be
forming such a huge galma again.
(SIGHS)
I see. If that's the case, so be it.
Goodbye.
(KARAT SIGHS)
I had fun.
EUNSEOM: But
That galma of the Momo Tribe
- Isn't it strange?
- What's strange about it?
Not receiving any favors,
not helping anyone,
not getting harmed,
and not harming anyone.
How can you live like that?
When a Saram lives among fellow Sarams,
isn't that all galma?
Living itself
is galma.
So it can be painful,
but you become happy, get comforted,
and feel overwhelmed.
The queen has been confined
and I think Lord Saya is really dead.
And
a lot of people.
TANYA: It's strange.
I cannot feel Saya's death.
I can't believe it either.
How did he die so futilely?
Eunseom advanced to Molabeol,
Tagon is going to war now,
and Taealha has been confined.
(SIGHS)
Please call Moa.
(DOOR OPENS)
(DOOR CLOSES)
(GASPS)
I have some questions.
I was ordered not to tell you anything.
It's nothing much.
I'm just curious.
What happened to Saya and the Hae Tribe?
I don't know anything.
TAEALHA: Whatever you say,
I can't do anything about it in here.
Yeobi escaped.
(SIGHS)
My goodness.
It smells so good.
This is yours too.
What happened to Saya?
Lord Saya is dead.
Still, the king was generous,
so he died by drinking poison.
- Poison?
- Yes.
Was it the bichwisan
he took away from you?
He gave it to Lord Saya to kill himself.
TAEALHA: Mahasin.
HAE TRIBE'S POISON
I have to get going now.
What about his body?
What happened to Saya's body?
GAMBAL MOUNTAIN
(SCREECHES)
(DOOR LOCKS)
Here.
Did you tell her that Yeobi escaped?
Yes, then she told me
to put this in a red jar
in the pottery place.
(BREATHES DEEPLY) We did it.
Send soldiers to go hide there
and wait for Yeobi to appear.
I understand.
Good job.
(SNIFFS)
What is this smell?
Oh.
The queen gave this to me.
Let me take this at least.
GILSEON: It says that
the queen herself is still safe,
and that Yeobi should not
act hastily and wait for her order
while keeping a low profile.
TAGON: While I'm at war,
Gilseon will be in charge
of all the soldiers in Arthdal.
I will, Your Majesty.
As for all the events in Arthdal,
Minister Chojaha will be in charge.
I will do my best, Your Majesty.
There's no Bronze Workshop now.
It's the Iron Workshop.
Make iron swords nonstop.
Yes, of course.
YEOLSON: But Your Majesty.
I dare ask you this question
by risking my life.
What will happen to High Priest Niruha?
Are you worried about your daughter?
MOA: High Priest Niruha.
I heard you were looking for me.
Yes. Have a seat.
Things didn't work out well, did they?
MOA
Are you all right?
Of course I am.
Today's story is about
when Aramun Haesulla was a child.
Would you like to listen?
I would like to,
but I heard you can't even leave
the Great Shrine from now on.
I'm worried about you.
There's nothing to worry about.
Now
the first descendant of Asa Sin
to the second descendant of Asa Sin.
The second descendant of Asa Sin
hears God's voice.
(INAUDIBLE)
We'll march day and night without a break,
so let the horses and soldiers
have plenty of rest.
I will do so, Your Majesty.
I will adopt the strategy
proposed by Yeonbal.
- Proceed as is.
- YEONBAL: Yes, Your Majesty.
I will give my life to make it succeed.
Also
What is wrong?
Gilseon was fooled
by Taealha.
(CROWD GASPING)
If you scream, you'll die.
If you understood, nod.
You're a banbitgan servant, right?
BANBITGAN: PALACE KITCHEN
What did the queen say?
What do you mean?
I've never met the queen--
This smell
that reeks from you.
There's only one Saram in Arthdal
who uses this scent.
Do you think the queen gave you
this sachet by chance?
She gave you this so I could find you,
you fool.
Please spare me. I'm sorry.
What did you talk about with her?
Nothing much.
I just told her that
Lord Saya passed away
Lord Saya
passed away?
Yes. The king gave Lord Saya bichwisan
and ordered him to kill himself.
Bichwisan?
Why does the king have bichwisan?
I heard he took it away from the queen.
Was it the one
the queen had?
Yes, that was what I heard.
(WHIMPERS)
Where's the corpse?
Gosh.
It's a ring. It's a ring.
(LAUGHS)
(STRAINING)
(MAN WHIMPERING)
Done? Let's go.
Do you really have no affection for Ago?
You've been here for over 30 years.
Why do you follow Tagon?
All your families, friends, and comrades
are in the Ago Tribe.
Don't waste your breath on me.
Just kill me, Inaishingi.
I caught a man from Arthdal,
and he wishes to meet you.
He came here of his own volition.
What is his name?
Yang? Yangcha?
That was it.
He said you'd know if I told you his name.
Saya is dead?
That was what I heard.
It would be strange for him to be alive.
- What about Tanya?
- She's still alive.
Niruha sent you this.
Is there a plan to save Niruha
in this war?
YANGCHA: It's beyond my power now.
Only you can save Niruha.
Tell me. Do you or do you not have a plan
to save Niruha?
Lock him up.
YANGCHA:
What are you playing at, Inaishingi?
I must go back to Arthdal!
I have to go back to Arthdal!
DALSAE: You tried to kill Inaishingi.
So you must've risked your life
to come here.
- Keep an eye on him.
- MAN: Yes, sir.
SUHANA: Yangcha.
You're Yangcha, right?
(SNIFFLES) Yangcha.
Don't pretend like you know me.
Why are you--
Why are you locked up? Did they find out?
How did you come here?
There was a rebellion to kill King Tagon.
Is the king safe?
I was the rebel.
What?
Just why
How can you betray him?
Have you gone crazy?
Who saved you when you were
dragged away by the Shahati?
Who saved our lives?
Why did you--
Someone I want to protect.
There's someone I want to protect
with my life.
So stop being a yeomari because of me.
She's different from King Tagon.
I want to follow her, be like her,
and treasure her.
I believe in the world
she wants to create.
Is it a woman?
Did you develop affection for her?
Did your emotions come back that much?
What about the black hue on your tongue?
It disappeared.
It was time that got rid of the black hue,
but she was the one who gave me back
my emotions that the Shahati took away.
So, Mother, make choices for yourself now.
I need to meet Inaishingi.
IPSAENG:
Why did you lock him up with Suhana?
I wondered
if he could open Suhana's mouth.
- He's her son.
- What?
Inaishingi. Suhana wishes to meet you.
SUHANA: Save Yangcha.
Then I'll give you
all the information I know.
You'll betray Tagon because of your son?
King Tagon won't lose to Ago
just because he failed once.
It better be worth that much.
The lives of thousands
of the Ago warriors.
Is that worth enough?
At the upcoming night of the full moon,
Arthdal's army will pass the Arth Forest
and raid the South Gate
of Molabeol Castle.
I was ordered
to set fire
to the military warehouse here,
and open the gates that night.
IPSAENG: Don't listen to her.
Arthdal hasn't attacked the Agoha Forest
for the past 200 years
because we, the Ago Tribe,
have never lost in the forests.
DALSAE: Yes. It's a lie.
Why would Arthdal go through the forest
to attack the castle?
- They'll fight us in the field.
- The horse of the heavens.
That horse changed everything.
And more importantly
More importantly?
I'll tell you if you release Yangcha.
You better come quickly
- if you want to save Niruha.
- Go.
- (URGES HORSE)
- (HORSE WHINNIES)
Now tell us
what the more important information is.
- What?
- Tagon will join the war himself.
Also, he will lead the ambush
at the forefront.
CHOSAI: Can we trust her?
Ever since Aramun Haesulla lost
in the Agoha Forest 200 years ago,
Arthdal has never fought us
in forests or mountains.
So the Arthdal troops have never come
near the Agoha Forest for all those years.
But Tagon will lead the troops
and pass the Arth Forest?
One thing is for sure.
Arthdal will never fight us
in forests or mountains.
This is a natural belief.
If what Suhana said is true,
Tagon caught us completely off guard.
She was a yeomari for dozens of years.
Would she have told us
something so important?
All we lose by preparing
is just a bit of extra work.
But if we can ambush Tagon in the forest,
we have the chance to end this war
by shedding the least amount of blood.
That's right.
Them not coming is the problem.
We should pray for them to come.
Instead of just doubting her,
let's set a trap and wait.
If they come,
we'll show them how fierce we are.
I'm the best in forests, you know.
I've never heard of that before.
If they come in to the Arth Forest,
the forest will become their graves.
THE GREAT SHRINE
Niruha is waiting for you.
Follow me.
It was just as he said.
He said you would definitely come back.
You should thank the gods
that the king isn't here.
If he was, you would've died on the spot.
Did he go to war?
SOLDIER: Commander, there is no suspicious
movement from the Arth Forest to Molabeol.
The Agos are warriors of forests.
It would be hard to tell
even if they were waiting in ambush.
YEONBAL: Look again.
Don't leave a single stone unturned.
Yes, Commander.
Commander Yeonbal.
I really don't know
if this is the right strategy.
They're incredibly skilled in forests.
What if something happens in the forest?
Moreover, the king got rid
of all the cavalry from this operation.
It's because of that horse
that Inaishingi rides.
Still, fighting without cavalry is
It's just a forest anyway.
Have faith in the king.

TAE DACHI
(CLINKING)
TAE DACHI: They're here.
- Where's Tagon?
- The king's flag
is at the forefront.
(IN OTHER LANGUAGE)
What's with your expression?
What about my expression?
I'm excited to go back to Marugin.
Didn't you want to leave?
That's not it.
What Inaishingi said bothers me.
(SCOFFS)
Do you know what he said?
He said living itself was galma.
What does he know? He's arrogant.
Right? He's just Inaishingi,
nothing special.
Actually, I think about that every day.
Me too.
Right? That's true.
Actually, I've thought about that too.
No matter how careful you are,
you cannot avoid galma.
If you can't avoid it, what should you do?
Move forward and don't be afraid.
That's what you were thinking too, right?
Not that specifically.
No. All of us in the Momo Tribe
have thought about that.
He's showing off with something
that everyone thinks about.
(SIGHS)
(CREAKING)
(SOFTLY) What's that?
They're Arthdal's troops.
(GRUNTS)
See? Another galma has been formed.

If we can't avoid it, what should we do?

Do not be afraid.

Do not let anyone who saw us live.

(IN KOREAN) They were from the Momo Tribe.
Of all things
- On top of that, one escaped?
- DUPA: Yes.
But our ambush could have been discovered.
Things could become complicated.
After Kansareu Niruha,
there are two diplomacy principles
about the Momo Tribe.
First. Do not lay your hands
on the Momo Tribe.
Two.
- Say it.
- If you do,
annihilate them.
After the war with the Ago Tribe is over,
I will conquer the Marugin archipelago
and the Moshaho peninsula,
and annihilate the Momo Tribe.
How are the preparations?
They are perfect.
SAYA: The real one is coming.
The real Aramun.
The real Aramun.
Inaishingi.
How did it go?
Arthdal's army has passed through
the Chestnut Forest.
Where's Tagon?
At the forefront.
I checked
his face.
Tagon is here.
It's a godsent opportunity.
We can catch Tagon here.
We must catch him
and we can catch him.
We must hold him accountable
for driving a wedge
between the Ago Tribe
by planting a yeomari,
and for making the Ago Tribe
kill and sell
each other's brothers, sisters,
fathers, and mothers.
This is a forest and a mountain.
Forests and mountains
are always on the Ago Tribe's side.
In the name of the waterfall,
victory to all!

Yes, Tachukan.
That's the name of the person

Do you realize that you have come out
to the field while chasing me?
TAKUCHAN: What?
What difference does that make?
I don't see Inaishingi
and his horse of the heavens.
What a pity.
I don't know what you're saying,
but your head will be offered
to the waterfall.

Pass the Dolgae Hill

How can we do that?
If we don't,
Mirusol and Tachukan will die.
TAE MAJA: Yes, Badoru. This is a forest.
We, the Ago Tribe, can do it.
YEONBAL: You can't.
It's the plan you came up with.
But that is
too dangerous.
The Ago Tribe isn't stupid.
Will they fall for your decoy?
But if I become the bait
it might succeed.
All forces, draw your swords!

ARTHDAL CHRONICLES: THE SWORD OF ARAMUN
(CLOSING THEME MUSIC PLAYING)
AGAJI: Eunseom hasn't been captured,
but everyone says the fight is over.
TAGON: Hand over Kanmoreu.
Do you think you'll become the owner
of that name just by having Kanmoreu?
TAGON: Aramun!
I don't need stuff like that.
I am Tagon!
I will break off that chain today.
GITOHA: It was an amazing strategy,
but it failed.
YEONBAL: Now, the Ago Tribe is like a bug
that won't even leave a trace
when stepped on.
EUNSEOM: If the Ago army gets annihilated,
and Inaishingi survives alone,
that's not Inaishingi anymore.

I've prepared something for the general.
You said this, right?
You told me to kill everyone.
- Your Majesty.
- It's confusing, right?
Am I really crazy
or am I pretending to be crazy?
- TANYA: Tell me your plan.
- We'll kill Tagon and accept Inaishingi
into Arthdal.
You met Eunseom.
Your Majesty.
Come back to how you were before.
GITOHA: Stop now!
Is this why you became a king?
Execute Yeonbal and Gitoha
with Daeyok Punishment.
(SOLDIERS GROANING)
SAYA: The king is possessed by a gosal.
His eyes are blurred
and his mind is confused,
so the sacred spirit
of Aramun has already left the king.
His evil grew
and brought upon a catastrophe.
I, General Saya, will slay that evil.
TAGON: Your father died so unfairly.
How did you endure it?
I'll get revenge.
Do you think you can get revenge?

The queen has been arrested too.
As for the Neanthal,

Out of all the rebels,
30% have died, 20% have escaped,

And stay there for a while.
You want me to go to the Ago Tribe?
Isn't your mother there?
I knew it.
- What about you?
- I must stay.
And you must deliver this to Eunseom.
That's nonsense.
I'll get someone else to do it.
I'm trying to save you.
There's no way the king doesn't know
that you're involved. You'll die for sure.
But he cannot kill me.
In this game, whoever kills me loses.
When I decided to be on your side,
I was prepared to die.
I told you to be on my side in my fight.
I didn't tell you to die.
Nor am I going to let you.
But Tagon
will try to kill you first.
Your life is in the way
of the fight I need to fight now.
This is an order. Leave. Now.
Let me fight freely, Yangcha.
(DOORS OPEN)
You know what it is, right?
I guess there's no way for me to live.
No.
There is.
It's this.
It's an iron sword.
There's only one way for you to live.
You have to let me win completely.
I've already lost.
What more do I need to lose?
Take this sword
and kill Tanya.
There was a rebellion.
The rebels killed
the reincarnation of Asa Sin.
And the king suppressed the rebellion.
Externally, you'll be announced dead.
But I'll spare your life
and let you go far away.
What do you think?
Is it too hard to decide?
If you thought
that was difficult for me
you really don't know me.
This is
how we end.
Could there have been another way?
Back then
Why did you bring me?
You could've just walked away
or killed me.
Back then
I was younger than you are now
and I was foolish.
If you didn't bring me here
I apologize.
You're fake.
No. We are all
fake.
You, the reincarnation of Aramun,

We're both fake.

It was easy.
CHOSAI: Inaishingi.
They'll start producing swords
with the iron from the meteorite
CHOSAI - PASA
- so you'll get to see iron swords soon.
- That's right.
Those from Arthdal will be shocked when
they see iron swords on the battlefield.
(LAUGHING)
EUNSEOM: I wonder how great
an iron sword we can make.
Iron swords are iron swords.
What do you mean?
The iron sword made by Father Yeolson
was much longer
than what we're trying to make.
Our iron swords might not be as strong.
We'll cross that bridge when we get to it.
We were stumped due to our weapons,
so this is great.
I'm very excited. (CHUCKLES)

What was the point
of you destroying the castle wall?
He still climbed up there,
sprained his ankle,
and fell down.
CHOMO: Gosh, Suhana.
Will we be able to win?
Your words have power.
If you say we're going to win,
we will win.
Everything you say will come true.
Come to think of it,
the swallow tail spell
you taught me before
is something like that.
It makes what you say come true.
That's what spells are.
They create power with words.
(SURGICAL TOOL CLINKS)
Then
shall we say this is you?
Pardon?
TACHUKAN

When we crossed the Notsan River,
how did they know
we were heading to Pyeongmire?
Also, how did they know
about the military supply
of Hanchoa Castle?
Also, how did they know
about our plan to attack Mobon Castle
and moved their troops?
Inaishingi.
What you're saying is--
I told you to continue!
I don't know what misunderstanding
has occurred,
but why are you doubting me?
What about this?
- I just thought
- Don't explain.
- a sword like this would be nice--
- I drew it!
I drew this in Arthdal.
I simply drew this on the spot.
You must've received an order from Arthdal
to find someone using a sword like this.
Inaishingi, you're mistaken.
You shouldn't do this.
I'm the elder of the Tae Clan.
I'm worried about the union falling apart.
Tae Maja.
I, Tae Maja,
the heir of the Tae Clan's chief,
did as you ordered.
I followed you and caught this.
Since when was it?
When we took over Hanchoa Castle?
When we crossed the Notsan River? Or
after the last unity with the Byeok Clan?
(CHUCKLING NERVOUSLY)
(LAUGHING)
Since when?
Since when?
Thirty years.
It has been more than 30 years.
(CONTINUES LAUGHING)

THE GREAT SHRINE
(DOORS OPEN)
MAN: The king has arrived.
I heard there was a big calamity
last night.
But you're safe,
so Airuju must have looked after you.
THE GREATEST OF ARTH'S EIGHT GODS
You're just as shameless as Asa Ron.
ASA RON: FORMER HIGH PRIES
(SCOFFS) I'll consider that a compliment.
But I'm in the position to do so.
Do you really think I can't harm you?
If you really had lost your mind,
I would've been afraid.
But you have such a clear mind.
How can the reincarnation of Aramun
harm the descendant of Asa Sin?
ASA SIN: ARTHDAL'S LEGENDARY DIVINE MOTHER
Do you really think so?
Aramun has been Asa Sin's messenger
for 200 years.
The moment you kill me, you're not Aramun.
As long as you're tied
to that grand name of Aramun,
you can't do anything to me.
I'm sure you know well.
You're right.
I can't do it myself.
So I told Saya that if he killed you
in the Great Shrine, I'd let him live.
But he did not hesitate.
Without hesitation, he drank bichwisan.
What, didn't you know?
I thought you would have known
with your psychic ability of the gods.
Saya is dead.
(SHUDDERING)
So things have become bothersome.
When you died,
I was going to build a huge statue of you.
So my plans have changed.
You'll become a god instead of a statue,
like that Airuju.
Airuju doesn't appear
in the world directly.
We can neither see, touch,
nor hear Airuju's voice.
You cannot go out into the world anymore.
Only I will deliver your thoughts,
God's thoughts, to the people.
I see you helped Yangcha escape.
Good job.
I was going to tear off his limbs
one by one in front of you,
and kill him slowly for a long time.
Right.
Pray a lot for me.
Molabeol Castle has been taken over.
Inaishingi has advanced
right in front of Arthdal.
CHOJAHA: Molabeol Castle?
They'll reach Arthdal
as soon as they pass the Arth Forest.
Commander.
You let those beasts take over the castle?
COMMANDER GITOHA
COMMANDER DUPA
I have no excuse.
YEOLSON
What about that iron sword thing?
I heard it is a great weapon.
They will be distributed to every soldier
in the near future.
Well, then we have nothing to worry about.
They were of no match to begin with,
and now we'll be armed
with iron swords too.
Nothing to worry about.
TAGON: The Ago Tribe will make them too.
ALL: Your Majesty.
CHOJAHA: Your Majesty.
Did you say the Ago Tribe
will make iron swords?
- How can they--
- A bachi of the Hae Tribe
is helping them.
Then we don't know
how the war will unfold now.
GILSEON: You're going too far.
They have strong momentum,
but they're Ago's beasts.
We don't have Great Commander Mubaek.
Who will lead the army now?
Don't you understand, Minister?
TAGON: Yeonbal, Gitoha.
BOTH: Yes, Your Majesty.
I'll lead the commanders of Arthdal
to the battlefield
and wash our brothers' bodies
with the blood of Inaishingi.
I, Tagon, the reincarnation of Aramun
and king of Arthdal,
will lead the troops and go to war myself
in the year of the hungry snake,
the month of the dog.

the history of the continent will change.
You want to join us, don't you?
(IN OTHER LANGUAGE) Mm Actually
(IN KOREAN) Yes, that's true.
But I can't do that.
Why?
Is it because of the galma?
EVERYTHING TO REPAY
That's right, galma.
I took revenge for my brother and I
returned the favor of the golden shell.
So I'm a jejeki now.
Jejeki?
"Jeje" means a newborn baby
in Momo language. What does that mean?
A newborn baby-like state.
I have no favor nor enemy, like a baby.
In the Momo Tribe, when babies die,
they go to the Land of Light.
If I die now,
I'll go to the Land of Light too.
But if I join you,
that would be
forming such a huge galma again.
(SIGHS)
I see. If that's the case, so be it.
Goodbye.
(KARAT SIGHS)
I had fun.
EUNSEOM: But
That galma of the Momo Tribe
- Isn't it strange?
- What's strange about it?
Not receiving any favors,
not helping anyone,
not getting harmed,
and not harming anyone.
How can you live like that?
When a Saram lives among fellow Sarams,
isn't that all galma?
Living itself
is galma.
So it can be painful,
but you become happy, get comforted,
and feel overwhelmed.
The queen has been confined
and I think Lord Saya is really dead.
And
a lot of people.
TANYA: It's strange.
I cannot feel Saya's death.
I can't believe it either.
How did he die so futilely?
Eunseom advanced to Molabeol,
Tagon is going to war now,
and Taealha has been confined.
(SIGHS)
Please call Moa.
(DOOR OPENS)
(DOOR CLOSES)
(GASPS)
I have some questions.
I was ordered not to tell you anything.
It's nothing much.
I'm just curious.
What happened to Saya and the Hae Tribe?
I don't know anything.
TAEALHA: Whatever you say,
I can't do anything about it in here.
Yeobi escaped.
(SIGHS)
My goodness.
It smells so good.
This is yours too.
What happened to Saya?
Lord Saya is dead.
Still, the king was generous,
so he died by drinking poison.
- Poison?
- Yes.
Was it the bichwisan
he took away from you?
He gave it to Lord Saya to kill himself.
TAEALHA: Mahasin.
HAE TRIBE'S POISON
I have to get going now.
What about his body?
What happened to Saya's body?
GAMBAL MOUNTAIN
(SCREECHES)
(DOOR LOCKS)
Here.
Did you tell her that Yeobi escaped?
Yes, then she told me
to put this in a red jar
in the pottery place.
(BREATHES DEEPLY) We did it.
Send soldiers to go hide there
and wait for Yeobi to appear.
I understand.
Good job.
(SNIFFS)
What is this smell?
Oh.
The queen gave this to me.
Let me take this at least.
GILSEON: It says that
the queen herself is still safe,
and that Yeobi should not
act hastily and wait for her order
while keeping a low profile.
TAGON: While I'm at war,
Gilseon will be in charge
of all the soldiers in Arthdal.
I will, Your Majesty.
As for all the events in Arthdal,
Minister Chojaha will be in charge.
I will do my best, Your Majesty.
There's no Bronze Workshop now.
It's the Iron Workshop.
Make iron swords nonstop.
Yes, of course.
YEOLSON: But Your Majesty.
I dare ask you this question
by risking my life.
What will happen to High Priest Niruha?
Are you worried about your daughter?
MOA: High Priest Niruha.
I heard you were looking for me.
Yes. Have a seat.
Things didn't work out well, did they?
MOA
Are you all right?
Of course I am.
Today's story is about
when Aramun Haesulla was a child.
Would you like to listen?
I would like to,
but I heard you can't even leave
the Great Shrine from now on.
I'm worried about you.
There's nothing to worry about.
Now
the first descendant of Asa Sin
to the second descendant of Asa Sin.
The second descendant of Asa Sin
hears God's voice.
(INAUDIBLE)
We'll march day and night without a break,
so let the horses and soldiers
have plenty of rest.
I will do so, Your Majesty.
I will adopt the strategy
proposed by Yeonbal.
- Proceed as is.
- YEONBAL: Yes, Your Majesty.
I will give my life to make it succeed.
Also
What is wrong?
Gilseon was fooled
by Taealha.
(CROWD GASPING)
If you scream, you'll die.
If you understood, nod.
You're a banbitgan servant, right?
BANBITGAN: PALACE KITCHEN
What did the queen say?
What do you mean?
I've never met the queen--
This smell
that reeks from you.
There's only one Saram in Arthdal
who uses this scent.
Do you think the queen gave you
this sachet by chance?
She gave you this so I could find you,
you fool.
Please spare me. I'm sorry.
What did you talk about with her?
Nothing much.
I just told her that
Lord Saya passed away
Lord Saya
passed away?
Yes. The king gave Lord Saya bichwisan
and ordered him to kill himself.
Bichwisan?
Why does the king have bichwisan?
I heard he took it away from the queen.
Was it the one
the queen had?
Yes, that was what I heard.
(WHIMPERS)
Where's the corpse?
Gosh.
It's a ring. It's a ring.
(LAUGHS)
(STRAINING)
(MAN WHIMPERING)
Done? Let's go.
Do you really have no affection for Ago?
You've been here for over 30 years.
Why do you follow Tagon?
All your families, friends, and comrades
are in the Ago Tribe.
Don't waste your breath on me.
Just kill me, Inaishingi.
I caught a man from Arthdal,
and he wishes to meet you.
He came here of his own volition.
What is his name?
Yang? Yangcha?
That was it.
He said you'd know if I told you his name.
Saya is dead?
That was what I heard.
It would be strange for him to be alive.
- What about Tanya?
- She's still alive.
Niruha sent you this.
Is there a plan to save Niruha
in this war?
YANGCHA: It's beyond my power now.
Only you can save Niruha.
Tell me. Do you or do you not have a plan
to save Niruha?
Lock him up.
YANGCHA:
What are you playing at, Inaishingi?
I must go back to Arthdal!
I have to go back to Arthdal!
DALSAE: You tried to kill Inaishingi.
So you must've risked your life
to come here.
- Keep an eye on him.
- MAN: Yes, sir.
SUHANA: Yangcha.
You're Yangcha, right?
(SNIFFLES) Yangcha.
Don't pretend like you know me.
Why are you--
Why are you locked up? Did they find out?
How did you come here?
There was a rebellion to kill King Tagon.
Is the king safe?
I was the rebel.
What?
Just why
How can you betray him?
Have you gone crazy?
Who saved you when you were
dragged away by the Shahati?
Who saved our lives?
Why did you--
Someone I want to protect.
There's someone I want to protect
with my life.
So stop being a yeomari because of me.
She's different from King Tagon.
I want to follow her, be like her,
and treasure her.
I believe in the world
she wants to create.
Is it a woman?
Did you develop affection for her?
Did your emotions come back that much?
What about the black hue on your tongue?
It disappeared.
It was time that got rid of the black hue,
but she was the one who gave me back
my emotions that the Shahati took away.
So, Mother, make choices for yourself now.
I need to meet Inaishingi.
IPSAENG:
Why did you lock him up with Suhana?
I wondered
if he could open Suhana's mouth.
- He's her son.
- What?
Inaishingi. Suhana wishes to meet you.
SUHANA: Save Yangcha.
Then I'll give you
all the information I know.
You'll betray Tagon because of your son?
King Tagon won't lose to Ago
just because he failed once.
It better be worth that much.
The lives of thousands
of the Ago warriors.
Is that worth enough?
At the upcoming night of the full moon,
Arthdal's army will pass the Arth Forest
and raid the South Gate
of Molabeol Castle.
I was ordered
to set fire
to the military warehouse here,
and open the gates that night.
IPSAENG: Don't listen to her.
Arthdal hasn't attacked the Agoha Forest
for the past 200 years
because we, the Ago Tribe,
have never lost in the forests.
DALSAE: Yes. It's a lie.
Why would Arthdal go through the forest
to attack the castle?
- They'll fight us in the field.
- The horse of the heavens.
That horse changed everything.
And more importantly
More importantly?
I'll tell you if you release Yangcha.
You better come quickly
- if you want to save Niruha.
- Go.
- (URGES HORSE)
- (HORSE WHINNIES)
Now tell us
what the more important information is.
- What?
- Tagon will join the war himself.
Also, he will lead the ambush
at the forefront.
CHOSAI: Can we trust her?
Ever since Aramun Haesulla lost
in the Agoha Forest 200 years ago,
Arthdal has never fought us
in forests or mountains.
So the Arthdal troops have never come
near the Agoha Forest for all those years.
But Tagon will lead the troops
and pass the Arth Forest?
One thing is for sure.
Arthdal will never fight us
in forests or mountains.
This is a natural belief.
If what Suhana said is true,
Tagon caught us completely off guard.
She was a yeomari for dozens of years.
Would she have told us
something so important?
All we lose by preparing
is just a bit of extra work.
But if we can ambush Tagon in the forest,
we have the chance to end this war
by shedding the least amount of blood.
That's right.
Them not coming is the problem.
We should pray for them to come.
Instead of just doubting her,
let's set a trap and wait.
If they come,
we'll show them how fierce we are.
I'm the best in forests, you know.
I've never heard of that before.
If they come in to the Arth Forest,
the forest will become their graves.
THE GREAT SHRINE
Niruha is waiting for you.
Follow me.
It was just as he said.
He said you would definitely come back.
You should thank the gods
that the king isn't here.
If he was, you would've died on the spot.
Did he go to war?
SOLDIER: Commander, there is no suspicious
movement from the Arth Forest to Molabeol.
The Agos are warriors of forests.
It would be hard to tell
even if they were waiting in ambush.
YEONBAL: Look again.
Don't leave a single stone unturned.
Yes, Commander.
Commander Yeonbal.
I really don't know
if this is the right strategy.
They're incredibly skilled in forests.
What if something happens in the forest?
Moreover, the king got rid
of all the cavalry from this operation.
It's because of that horse
that Inaishingi rides.
Still, fighting without cavalry is
It's just a forest anyway.
Have faith in the king.
NORTH OF THE ARTH FOREST,
THE TRAP ZONE OF THE AGO TRIBE
TAE DACHI
(CLINKING)
TAE DACHI: They're here.
- Where's Tagon?
- The king's flag
is at the forefront.
(IN OTHER LANGUAGE)
What's with your expression?
What about my expression?
I'm excited to go back to Marugin.
Didn't you want to leave?
That's not it.
What Inaishingi said bothers me.
(SCOFFS)
Do you know what he said?
He said living itself was galma.
What does he know? He's arrogant.
Right? He's just Inaishingi,
nothing special.
Actually, I think about that every day.
Me too.
Right? That's true.
Actually, I've thought about that too.
No matter how careful you are,
you cannot avoid galma.
If you can't avoid it, what should you do?
Move forward and don't be afraid.
That's what you were thinking too, right?
Not that specifically.
No. All of us in the Momo Tribe
have thought about that.
He's showing off with something
that everyone thinks about.
(SIGHS)
(CREAKING)
(SOFTLY) What's that?
They're Arthdal's troops.
(GRUNTS)
See? Another galma has been formed.
(SIGHS)
If we can't avoid it, what should we do?
BOTH: Move forward.
Do not be afraid.
(IN KOREAN) Kill them!
Do not let anyone who saw us live.
(MEN GRUNTING)
(GRUNTING CONTINUES)
(FLESH SQUELCHING)
(GROANING)
(IN OTHER LANGUAGE) Do not be afraid!
(BREATHING HEAVILY)
(IN KOREAN) They were from the Momo Tribe.
Of all things
- On top of that, one escaped?
- DUPA: Yes.
But our ambush could have been discovered.
Things could become complicated.
After Kansareu Niruha,
there are two diplomacy principles
about the Momo Tribe.
First. Do not lay your hands
on the Momo Tribe.
Two.
- Say it.
- If you do,
annihilate them.
After the war with the Ago Tribe is over,
I will conquer the Marugin archipelago
and the Moshaho peninsula,
and annihilate the Momo Tribe.
How are the preparations?
They are perfect.
SAYA: The real one is coming.
The real Aramun.
The real Aramun.
Inaishingi.
How did it go?
Arthdal's army has passed through
the Chestnut Forest.
Where's Tagon?
At the forefront.
I checked
his face.
Tagon is here.
It's a godsent opportunity.
We can catch Tagon here.
We must catch him
and we can catch him.
We must hold him accountable
for driving a wedge
between the Ago Tribe
by planting a yeomari,
and for making the Ago Tribe
kill and sell
each other's brothers, sisters,
fathers, and mothers.
This is a forest and a mountain.
Forests and mountains
are always on the Ago Tribe's side.
In the name of the waterfall,
victory to all!
(BIRD CAWING)
(TWEETING)
(TWEETING CONTINUES)
- Stop.
- Stop.
(TWEETING CONTINUES, FLUTTERING)
Are there bush warblers on this mountain?
Well,
I'm not sure.
All soldiers, retreat quietly.
- It's an ambush.
- It's an ambush.
(GRUNTS)
(ALL YELLING)
All soldiers, retreat.
Protect the king.
Protect the king.
Make way. Make way!
(YELLING)
Make way!
(MEN GRUNTING)

We'll go to Baranggil,
cut them off and catch Tagon.
- Let's go.
- MEN: Yes, sir.
(KARAT GROANING)
EUNSEOM: Karat.
What's wrong? What happened?
(GROANS WEAKLY)
(ALL YELLING)
MIRUSOL: Catch him!
How lame.
Are you giving up now?
You must be Tachukan.
Yes, Tachukan.
That's the name of the person
who will behead you. Isn't that something?
Do you realize that you have come out
to the field while chasing me?
TAKUCHAN: What?
What difference does that make?
I don't see Inaishingi
and his horse of the heavens.
What a pity.
I don't know what you're saying,
but your head will be offered
to the waterfall.
- (YELLS)
- Stop!
(WEAKLY) You're going to Baranggil, right?
Inaishingi.
I think
you guys have fallen into a trap.
What do you mean?
KARAT: Below the hill
of the Dalrae Plains
(GASPING)
KARAT: countless Arthdal soldiers
were hiding.
(CHOKING)
(GASPS)
(IN OTHER LANGUAGE) My gosh.
(IN KOREAN) I tried not to get entangled
up in galma and ended up like this.
But there's nothing I can do.
I am
Karat
of Momo.
I have a favor to ask.
Send my brothers
to the Land of Light.
Win
Inaishingi.
(SNIFFLES)
All forces.
Pass the Dolgae Hill
and advance to Baranggil.
Pass the Dolgae Hill
with all our soldiers?
How can we do that?
If we don't,
Mirusol and Tachukan will die.
TAE MAJA: Yes, Badoru. This is a forest.
We, the Ago Tribe, can do it.
YEONBAL: You can't.
It's the plan you came up with.
But that is
too dangerous.
The Ago Tribe isn't stupid.
Will they fall for your decoy?
But if I become the bait
it might succeed.
All forces, draw your swords!
All forces, charge!
(SOLDIERS YELLING)
(BOTH GRUNTING)
(SCREAMING)
(MEN EXCLAIMING)
Damn it.
(TAKUCHAN YELLS)
Why are these bastards' swords so long?
(GRUNTS)
Whether they're long or short,
break through the siege!
Break through it!
(SOLDIER SCREAMS)
(ALL GRUNTING)
YEONBAL: Move aside.
You can't even kill a beast, you pig.
You try it, you bastard.
He's no joke.
(GRUNTING CONTINUES)
EUNSEOM: Tachukan!
Mirusol!
No way.
How can they appear from there?
And on horses too?
In the name of Ago and the waterfall!
(ALL EXCLAIMING)
(HORSES WHINNY)
Inaishingi!
Inaishingi!
(URGING HORSES)
We have a lot more soldiers.
Don't get pushed back!
Armored infantry, maintain your positions!
(ALL GRUNTING)

He must be Inaishingi.
(EUNSEOM YELLS)
Your Majesty, stop!
Inaishingi!
(YELLS)
(YELLS)
SAYA: I might die here like this.
But you will die at my hands.
Remember
my face.
ARTHDAL CHRONICLES: THE SWORD OF ARAMUN
(CLOSING THEME MUSIC PLAYING)
AGAJI: Eunseom hasn't been captured,
but everyone says the fight is over.
TAGON: Hand over Kanmoreu.
Do you think you'll become the owner
of that name just by having Kanmoreu?
TAGON: Aramun!
I don't need stuff like that.
I am Tagon!
I will break off that chain today.
GITOHA: It was an amazing strategy,
but it failed.
YEONBAL: Now, the Ago Tribe is like a bug
that won't even leave a trace
when stepped on.
EUNSEOM: If the Ago army gets annihilated,
and Inaishingi survives alone,
that's not Inaishingi anymore.
