THE SWORD OF ARAMUN
Your long-lasting rebellion
has finally come to an end.
Congratulations.
Only the Bato Tribe by the Notsan River is left.
Saya will finish them well
along with Inaishingi.
Have you really seen Inaishingi's face?
Yes, it's a face I'll never forget.
Get ready.
We need to make him take off that ugly visor
and show his face today.
Shall we go out?
If Lord Saya sees his face...
he'll be very surprised.
Have you ever seen the face
of Eunseom?
Eunseom is Inaishingi.
Did Eunseom see you?
He didn't.
Inaishingi, hurry up.
Because I hid like a fool.
She's the only Neanthal in the world that uses swords.
What could beat her?
Can she beat Tagon's monstrous strength?
I'll send you into the palace as a servant.
The owner of your name commands.
Help Eunseom.
Save Eunseom.
You don't know how Arthdal warriors fight on plains.
We won't fight on the plains.
Do you know who you're fighting?
Come back alive.
What about Eunseom?
Don't kill him.
WAR OF TWINS
EUNSEOM
SAYA
As the king said,
it seems like most of the Ago Tribe's troops are here.
Yes.
The war could have lasted for more than 10 years,
but we're going to end it today.
We might not even need Mubaek.
Is this not mine?
Is the visor small or is your head big?
The visor is small, obviously.
GREAT COMMANDER MUBAEK
Just do as you trained.
- Don't be nervous. - Nervous?
Who gets nervous going against beasts?
They'll pee their pants as soon as we fight them.
Shall we start?
The general of Arthdal commands.
Commander Sodang of Division One!
Cavalry One!
Charge!
Let's go!
In the names
of the waterfall and the Agoha Forest!
Under the name of Inaishingi!
Let's go!
Wipe out the Ago's beasts!
Yeonbal.
I think we need Mubaek.
Yes, General.
Tachukan! Tae Maja!
Shoot the smoke arrows.
How pitiful.
Inaishingi, we have to retreat.
I'll lure them. Escape.
No.
I'll kill the general of Arthdal.
You can't. Eunseom.
Arthdal will be fine even if he dies.
But without you, it's the end of Ago.
Retreat!
- Retreat! - Retreat!
Retreat!
Retreat.
- Retreat. - Retreat.
Retreat!
- Retreat! - Retreat!
Retreat!
Hyah!
It's meaningless if we don't capture Inaishingi.
Capture Inaishingi!
Go after them!
He's going for Lord Saya.
Chase him!
What can you do alone?
The horses...
The horses are acting strange.
What's going on?
Mubaek!
What's wrong with the horses?
What's going on?
The horse won't move forward.
Could it be Kanmoreu?
Stop him!
Got you.
Catch him.
Helper, now's the time.
Helper, one more time.
Mubaek, that's Kanmoreu.
There's a saying from long ago that when Kanmoreu began to run,
the enemy's horses all followed it.
It's Kanmoreu.
It's the whistle arrow of the Ago Tribe.
AN ARROW THAT MAKES A SOUND
We don't have more cavalry now.
General.
You need to order a retreat.
General, you must hurry.
- General! - General.
General, are you okay?
There's no news from the front line.
We'll get one soon.
The general may be smart,
but he learned wars from books.
I'm worried.
- Your Majesty. - Your Majesty.
Your Majesty.
The number of people petitioning about slaves is growing.
Slaves?
- What about the slaves? - Well.
High Priest Tanya treats the slaves too well.
That's right, Your Highness.
All the people inside and outside
the castle are
giving up their food for Arthdal's victory.
But High Priest feeds and looks after slaves every day.
Furthermore, she forbade the slave owners from punishing the slaves
and to feed them three times a day.
That's right.
People can put up with their own hunger,
but they cannot stand those under them eating well.
I see you bought that too.
That bracelet.
Your Highness. You can't buy this with riches.
Only with sincerity and faith...
But mostly,
you must've given her riches, right?
Just how many people are wearing them?
A lot of people want them.
Both the rich and poor.
She's pretty good.
I'll ask the high priest about the slaves issue.
Next.
Due to the troops' food supply,
the price of crops increased,
people in the castle are starting to starve.
The price increases
because there are merchants who hoard the crops for themselves.
Find them and punish them.
Behead one or two to set an example.
Yes, we will do as you say.
But that's not enough to help those starving...
Enough.
The issue will be resolved as soon as the war's over.
Has the messenger arrived?
Not yet, but the war should be over by now.
Yes.
How can those beasts
fight against our troops on the plains?
With the horse of the heaven,
Inaishingi defeated Arthdal.
Horse of the heaven.
- Horse of the heaven! - Horse of the heaven!
Horse of the heaven!
- Horse of the heaven! - Horse of the heaven!
Horse of the heaven!
- Horse of the heaven! - Horse of the heaven!
Horse of the heaven.
Horse of the heaven!
SUHANA
Horse of the heaven!
It hurts.
It was that horse.
The horse I saw in lark.
Mubaek, Mugwang, and I tried to chase after it.
None of us could keep up.
Our horses refused to move forward.
It's Kanmoreu.
Why would Kanmoreu help the Ago Tribe?
Aramun Haesulla is in Arthdal.
THE LEGENDARY HORSE KNOWN TO HAVE BEEN RIDDEN BY ARAMUN HAESULLA
Don't raise your voice.
How bad is the damage?
How many died?
I don't know.
The number keeps increasing.
Horses are another problem.
We lost too many horses.
Did you send the messenger to Arthdal?
Well...
The general told me not to send one.
What are you doing?
Don't stand there. Come and hold him.
Me?
What are you waiting for? Go.
Goodness.
Hey.
Hey, wait...
Here.
What are you doing?
Press it down until the bleeding stops.
Okay.
Does she really not know Mugwang?
The General locked her up for a long time to investigate.
He would've been thorough.
Where is General Saya?
After entering his barrack,
he hasn't come out at all.
You stupid fool.
Are you crazy?
Do you want them to find out you're an Igutu?
HALF BLOODS BORN BETWEEN A SARAM AND A NEANTHAL, THEIR BLOOD IS PURPLE
AND ARE PERSECUTED BEINGS IN ARTHDAL
Get a grip.
You know him too, right?
Eunseom.
- Why bring him up all of a sudden? - That Eunseom...
is Inaishingi.
What...
do you mean? Eunseom's what?
Dujeumsaeng of lark.
DEROGATORY NAME FOR THE IARKS
His clan was slaughtered or turned into slaves.
He barely survived and escaped.
Without getting injured...
It would be a miracle if he's alive.
- But... - No way.
Is it really Eunseom?
How...
Yes. That Eunseom
became the strongest warrior of the east of the continent.
And today!
He destroyed Arthdal's most elite troops.
Huh...
Eunseom
is Inaishingi?
I...
cannot forgive...
I cannot forgive him.
Did you see Inaishingi's face?
Since when did you know?
There's no way I could've known.
I saw him for the first time in today's battle.
What should we do now?
Lord Saya.
You said you would accept your mission.
Sword and Mirror.
You decided to be with your brother, Eunseom.
Didn't you make a promise to Tanya Niruha?
I didn't know he was the head of the Ago Tribe then.
Actually, there was
no reason for you two to fight.
Forget it.
Hey.
How did you come in here?
Speak now.
Who are you?
Answer me!
How did you get in? Answer me now.
What happened?
Great Commander.
We found a child hidden in the barracks.
I was interrogating her.
I thought she could be the Ago Tribe's yeomari.
A SPY
A yeomari wouldn't have stolen crops.
Are you hungry?
Did you run away from Hanchoa Castle
to avoid the battle?
What about your parents?
Take her to Chaeeun and tell her
to feed her, wash her,
- and give her fresh clothes. - Sir?
From this war,
how many children will become war orphans?
I was a war orphan too.
NEANTHAL
I heard Inaishingi was an Igutu.
We should check if he's Ragaz's son.
We grew up together,
but I don't understand Rottip.
Imagine how it must be for me when even you can't.
Good thing we came without Rottip.
I mean, what?
It's meaningless?
What's the point of checking now?
If this is meaningless, what in this world has meaning?
Why bother living?
Nosunaho, I had this thought for a while.
I think you and I click.
You're much older than me.
How could you just leave Rottip like that and come?
We should've brought Rottip with us!
Why bring up my age?
We're not Saram.
We might
scare them.
I never saw any beings that didn't care about us at all
like them.
They're the Children of Shahati.
WHITE MOUNTAIN TRIBE'S SECRET ASSASSIN GROUP
What are they
doing here?
The reports you made.
I was heedless.
Tanya was pretty good.
Make a list of the people who donate a lot to the Great Shrine.
The black hue is almost gone.
I think it can end now.
In the name of Aramun and the king of Arthdal,
I end the punishment.
Why are you so taken aback?
Try speaking.
Don't tell me you forgot how.
It must still feel awkward.
Speak when you want to.
Do you know what the last thing you said was?
"Mom."
Did you know how to smile?
The war will end soon.
You'll be able to see your mother again.
She'll be very happy
to see you smile.
For such a long time in the foreign land of Ago,
she went through so much.
I'll definitely repay her.
You found out nothing?
A prince of a kingdom nearly got murdered.
But there's no evidence.
Actually, we need to investigate Saya,
but he's not here.
When he comes back...
Yes.
We should ask if he comes back.
If he can come back.
What about Hae Kkadak?
Could you still not find him?
Well... I think something's wrong.
Mihol helped Hae Kkadak break out
a very long time ago.
If he knew what was happening in Arthdal,
he should've come back already.
After Hae Alyeong passed away,
there's no bachi as skilled as Hae Kkadak.
A CRAFTSMAN OR ENGINEER
Please try harder, Minister.
I will, Your Highness.
Where's Shahati?
Pardon? Why all of a sudden...
I told her to aim for it after the war.
It might be over by now.
What? What's over?
What's happening?
I mean,
I'm nervous as it is already because the messenger hasn't come.
I was wondering if you planned something again.
Don't worry about the war.
The moment the Ago came out on the plains,
they were done for.
What about Yeolson?
Come on, Yeolson.
Why would I secretly throw away iron scraps like these?
These aren't just iron scraps.
They're iron ingots made of pure iron.
Is that so?
I can't tell.
Look. Why are you acting like this?
I'm asking to give you a big award.
How did you make them?
Did you add other ingredients?
It's okay. Tell me.
I want to meet High Priest Niruha.
Then I'll decide whether to tell you or not.
You can't do that.
What?
Yeolson?
Now?
You're foolish.
Are you doing this trusting your daughter will save you?
Is he insane?
Do I trust my daughter?
What I trust...
isn't my poor daughter.
It's iron!
With enough riches to make these bronze chains,
I can make enough iron chains
to tie up all the bachis in the Fortress of Fire.
A scientist like you should know.
With the knowledge in my head,
history will change big time.
But you want to kill me?
Can you?
Scientists
can never kill another scientist
who is ahead of them.
If you can do that,
you're not from the Hae Tribe
nor a scientist.
DWELLING OF HAE TRIBE MANAGED BY TAEALHA
What in the world are you doing?
The queen is in charge of everything that happens here.
How dare mere guards come here?
Just how...
It's the king's order.
Then the king should come here himself.
Are you looking for me?
Your Majesty. May the honor of Airuju be with you.
I have something to ask Yeolson.
Can I not?
Well...
Of course you can.
Yeolson works in the Bronze Workshop.
He's not from the Hae Tribe.
Our negotiation states
Bronze Workshop, the Hae Tribe, and the secret of bronze are yours.
Other than those,
you can have nothing
that I do not allow in Arthdal.
But how dare you torture the father of the high priest?
Are you insane?
The time has finally come to unify the continent Arth.
But to handle whining people,
I still need Tanya's divine powers.
Even I, the god of Arthdal,
is putting up with Tanya.
But how dare you...
Yes.
Yeolson is yours.
Because you're the king.
Fine, take him.
I'll take him right away.
But...
what should we do about the thing...
in his head?
Over all those years, in my Bronze Workshop,
in Pilgyeonggwan,
and in the Fortress of Fire!
Incredible knowledge and skills Yeolson learned and picked up.
Those are all mine.
How can I get those back?
It's just right if I give him back to you without those.
What should I do?
That's right.
I can kill him.
I'll kill him right now.
Take his body.
That is clearly
yours.
You're going to kill High Priest Niruha's father?
Why?
Do you think I can't do it?
Since you're going this far,
you must've found out something.
Then think about it.
Do you think I can do it or not?
Fine, do it.
I want to know what happens next.
The people, the ministers, the White Peak Mountain, and Tanya...
I wonder what they'll do to the queen who killed High Priest Niruha's father.
Kill who?
Since you want to know, I'll tell you.
If my father Yeolson dies at the hands of the queen,
I, Asa Tanya, in the name of Airuju,
the beginning and the end of the world,
and the reincarnation of Asa Sin...
Will you curse me, Niruha?
No way.
In the name of the god,
I'll say Prince Arok...
- Tanya. - Prince Arok...
will be attacked by the countless lives his parents took.
That evil will turn into wrath
and that wrath
will reach every people in Arthdal with children.
So,
every mother and father...
If you wet the Arth Forest with the blood
from Prince Arok's eyes,
your children will live.
If I say that,
someone might stab Prince Arok's eyes.
It might be someone close to you.
A cursed prince won't be able to
succeed Aramun either.
If that happens,
I won't sit still either.
Me too.
If you kill Arok,
do you think I'll just sit by and do nothing?
Yes, that's right.
So...
if you kill Yeolson, there'll be a catastrophe.
Let my father go. Instead,
when Prince Arok turns 10,
I will give him divine powers.
Of course, you would have to ask.
Your Highness.
My father will not reveal any knowledge
or skill to the king.
As a scientist, he must know that
that is what's keeping him alive.
He won't reveal it.
What do you want to do?
A catastrophe or Prince Arok's divine power?
One more.
Appoint three people of the Asa Clan that I choose as Ministers.
THE SACRED CLAN OF THE WHITE MOUNTAIN TRIBE
What do you want to do?
Instead, I'll remove
Hae Heulrip from the bang of Bronze Affiliation and appoint Yeolson.
Do as you wish.
Everything is settled.
I'll take Yeolson right now.
It feels like I was under your thumb.
What do you mean by that, Niruha?
A TITLE OF HONOR
You told me on purpose.
Did you not?
For me to come here.
Me?
"Even if I killed Yeolson, I cannot find out the secret."
"Let's get the best out of it."
Am I wrong?
I see. Maybe...
you already know something
about the secret of iron.
Niruha.
It's been a long time since two of us met alone.
May I give you a piece of advice like I did before?
Go ahead.
You...
are just like Asa Ron.
THE EX-HIGH PRIEST
You're like an old snake.
I don't deserve that praise yet.
Your Highness.
What was the thing that Yeolson hid?
It was charcoal.
And I looked into the powder he threw away.
It was crushed shells.
Shells?
Shells...
It means it's lime.
We don't know in what ratio they're used
and at what timing yet,
but since we found out the ingredients, it's just a matter of time.
The days of monopoly are over.
It's a competition now.
We need to make better iron.
Everyone.
Put your lives on the line.
Yes, Your Highness.
Why did you choose me?
Even if you have me, you won't take away my skill.
It's light.
How strong is it?
It's still lacking.
I couldn't make pure iron.
But I will be able to soon.
Something this light will become
stronger than a bronze sword?
Yes.
But its strength isn't what makes iron swords scary.
It's cheap and common.
If you can arm 1,000 soldiers with bronze,
you can arm 10,000 soldiers with iron.
In the Iron Age, tens of thousands of people will fight in a battlefield.
Only I can do it.
What will you do for me, Your Majesty?
Go meet your daughter.
Father.
Yes.
Minister?
I'll become the minister of the bang of Bronze Affiliation?
Yes.
That's what the king said.
- So if you don't want... - What do you mean?
It's great.
That means I can have power now.
What power?
Are you going to do politics?
Of course. I should do politics.
I could become like Mihol.
Father.
Mihol was killed by his daughter in the end.
Niruha. This is Arthdal.
If you don't trample, you'll get trampled on.
I'm going to trample first.
Father.
What we learned in lark is for the world...
Stop talking about stuff like that.
We Wahan Tribe is in danger already.
In danger?
Inaishingi.
Eunseom became Inaishingi.
How do you know that?
A few days ago,
Eunseom sent someone.
Come here quickly.
Yakdu. Stay with me.
- What happened? - I don't know.
He came back like this.
What happened?
Did you not meet Father Yeolson?
I...
I met him.
But...
But? Where's Pungji?
He left with you.
He...
He's dead.
I told Mungtae to kill them.
What?
There were two of them. One died,
and one escaped, but he won't live for long.
Father.
Eunseom
is trying to keep his promise to save us.
Why would he save us?
Eunseom is
the great Inaishingi.
We're at war now,
he's the leader of the enemy,
and he is Lord Saya's benetbeot.
If that comes to light, who knows
what'll happen to us for keeping it a secret.
So
How can I let those sent by Eunseom leave alive?
He said all of the Wahan Tribe
was on the same page.
Inaishingi.
The Wahan Tribe...
You don't need to save them.
Lord Saya.
Are you sure?
Yes. I couldn't think carefully because I was too taken aback.
If I really have a mission,
I should meet him.
Inaishingi isn't my enemy. He's Tagon's.
And...
he is my brother.
We should work together.
Of course.
Of course you should.
Mubaek.
I know it is difficult...
but can you arrange a meeting?
Okay.
I'll arrange it secretly right now.
Two of you are going to meet.
Tanya Niruha would be very happy if she knew about this.
Tanya.
How would it feel like
to be betrayed multiple times by someone whom you've trusted?
Now,
forget it.
YANGCHA
Your mouth was closed for so long. The first thing you say
is "forget."
How merciless.
You're here, Your Majesty.
Now that Yeolson is dressed
in minister's clothes, he looks decent.
A Wahan Tribe minister.
Consider it a small repayment for that day, Niruha.
How are you going to use my father?
Use him?
I think I'm the one being used.
Yeolson, Dunji, and Mungtae.
All of them used me to make their way up.
That's why all of them changed horribly.
You're the one that changed the most.
You even use Airuju's name to sell such crude things like this.
You only sell them to a few and tantalize others.
Does this help the Great Shrine make a living?
I have a lot to do. Why are you here?
You treat slaves and servants too nicely,
so a lot of people feel uncomfortable.
Why is that uncomfortable?
Because that groups them together.
They eat three meals a day,
but their slave eats three meals a day too.
They don't like that.
Whether it's a slave, a servant, a bachi, or a merchant,
they're all equal to me.
Yes, they are to me as well.
I don't care whether you're nice to slaves or not.
But...
to those who had the slightest privilege,
equality is violence.
It's very harsh.
If they're equal to you,
understand how they feel too.
If they live with the power to look down on others,
they'll feel that way.
That's order and balance.
Don't break the balance.
Arthdal is prospering day by day.
On the other side of that prosperity
are Ttesarichon and Gaemakgol.
Criminals live in Ttesarichon and lowly beings live in Gaemakgol.
Those in Ttesarichon are the victims for your power.
Gaemakgol...
There's no reason
for anyone to live that way.
From now on,
I forbid the Great Shrine from giving food to the children of slaves.
- That is nonsense. - Also,
High Priest must not demand anything
to slaves' owners regarding their slaves.
Don't go too far with selling Airuju's name.
Like you've done until now,
I believe you'll understand well.
Due to the long wars,
Arthdal is running out of supplies.
So?
Let me continue with slave-related matters.
The Great Shrine will give you 10 jars of sorghum...
Ten jars of sorghum?
By selling this?
Don't try to strike a deal with me.
That's not enough to strike a deal.
I'll fill up 10 jars of sorghum
with gold.
On top of it, foxtail millet, sorghum, and barley.
One thousand jars each.
Do you think this is all sold at the same price?
Those who own a lot
have as much fear as they own.
The king rules with fear and High Priest rules with kindness.
That's what you said.
But you're not the only one ruling Arthdal
with fear.
Your Majesty.
We divided into three to find a new supply route.
Things won't be good on that side.
We have to keep looking.
Inaishingi.
An envoy from Arthdal has come.
I'll give you a chance.
Inaishingi of the Ago Tribe. Lead your warriors
and go back to the Agoha Forest.
What?
You make it sound like you've won.
Do you think we'll retreat now?
This is only the beginning.
We're going to invade Arthdal.
Do you think you've won
by burning Geomeuldun and taking over Hanchoa Castle?
Pyeongmirae, Mobon Castle, and Molabeol.
Arthdal has countless bases like these.
But you guys
can't even get proper supplies in Hanchoa.
Did you come all the way here just to tell us that?
If you're done,
leave while we're letting you.
I want to speak with Inaishingi alone.
No way. Don't do it, Inaishingi.
She's right. He might do something to you.
It's about something puzzling
that Inaishingi saw on the battlefield.
Everyone, leave.
Back then,
- what I saw... - That's right.
Your benetbeot.
Your brother.
He is your benetbeot.
The general of the Arthdal army.
Saya.
Do you even know
who you're fighting?
Ah! Judging from your face...
You must've met him.
He looks the same, right?
My gosh.
How did you know?
Tell me everything you know.
Okay. Now we can make a deal, right?
No weapons,
no soldiers. It's a meeting between you two.
This meeting might change
Arth's history.
I need to tell you
your mission.
Before the mission,
as brothers who were separated for a long time,
find the way.
When I give you the sign tonight,
kill Inaishingi.
I'll do as you command.
Pretend you didn't see me. I have somewhere to go.
You startled me.
Why are you in here?
Hey, where are you going?
You are...
Over there.
Who are you guys?
You shouldn't be here.
Kill Saya.
The order will not change.
I'll be at the spring down there.
Meet him comfortably.
We have a lot to talk about too.
It is you. The person I saw in my dreams.
That was you.
It really is.
You were in my dreams too.
Then did you see
- how I lived? - Well...
You were always trapped in a tall and small room.
One day,
you lifted the cloth covering the window
and looked at the sky.
Then you said, "The sky is too blue."
And I think you cried.
Ah...
How embarrassing.
I was trapped there unable to do anything.
And another guy found out about it.
But you...
lived very freely.
It was fun, right?
You must've only dreamt about
the good stuff.
No. Every dream was faint,
but that dream was vivid.
Gitbadak?
Was it Sateunik?
EUNSEOM'S FRIEND THAT DIED IN GITBADAK
I was sad too.
That was
a very sad dream.
Join the Ago Union.
Do what?
I said, join the Ago Union.
- Why should I? - We can beat Tagon.
At this rate, I don't know about me,
but you'll lose.
What nonsense is that?
You were faint in my dreams too...
but looking back, I understand
what emotions you have for Tagon.
And you
are a defeated general now.
Was I too hasty?
Then again,
we only met for the first time.
Will we ever get to meet again?
Do you know your name?
Your original name our mother gave.
Sometimes, Mother cried all night...
and called out a name.
When I think about it, I think that was your name.
No, it must be you.
What is...
my original...
name?
Who are you?
What is this? Who is Saya?
Eunseom.
Run.
Get out of here.
Tell Mubaek.
Kill Saya.
The order will not change.
- Who is he? - Shahati.
Was it
Taealha?
We need to get out of here.
Asa Hon.
WHITE MOUNTAIN TRIBE, EUNSEOM AND SAYA'S MOTHER
Your necklace.
Oh...
Where is it?
I met your children.
Shahati?
Kill Saya.
The order will not change.
What?
Leave.
Why would you come in here?
Darn it.
Where is Nunbyeol?
Why are you here?
It's a long story.
Why are you guys here?
There...
Saya.
Who is he?
Do you know him?
Saya.
He is Ragaz's
son.
We need to move him.
Saya.
If something has happened, I'll kill you.
General said he would leave his post for a while.
He said it was nothing important.
But why is that place on fire?
- Darn it. - Why?
Darn it.
Is he in there?
Hey, don't say that.
Where is Mubaek?
What's that?
General.
Mubaek!
Mubaek.
Mubaek!
Mubaek.
Oh, dear.
No. No...
Mubaek.
What do we do?
Mubaek.
THE SWORD OF ARAMUN
You took Mubaek today.
There must be a reason to it.
Mubaek.
Just what happened?
Please wake up, Saya.
Inaishingi and the general of Arthdal
are benetbeot.
Maybe they were swapped.
If they discover that Inaishingi's gone,
the Ago Union is done for.
You must go back now.
Everyone is so anxious.
Did he get caught?
Saya, don't do this.
Stop.
