Arthdal Chronicles (아스달 연대기)

You will have achieved nothing.

What do you mean?

My son wants me dead.

Therefore, if I die,

you'll solely be blamed for the crime.

What happened?

Tagon went in alone to save Sanung Niruha.

Alone?

Alone?

Yes, he went in alone.

Sanung is in danger.

That's absurd.

We must go. We must stop him.

It's time to keep your promise,

leader of the Arthdal Union.

Promise?

Are you truly Asa Hon's son?

I will let you and all the people of Wahan Tribe go.

The people of Arthdal

are in debt to your mother.

I promise you as the leader of the Union.

You always look for a way to save yourself no matter what the situation is.

It seems that

the oracle of Daraburu is true.

-I need you to keep your word-- -How dare you.

You and that sly Asa Ron

conspired to eliminate me once and for all.

Union leader!

Tell your people as you promised.

Tell them that a warrior of Wahan protected you from that man.

You once tried to kill your mother

and now you're trying to take my life too.

All I wanted was to survive.

No.

If that was your goal,

you would've left back then.

You must leave Arthdal.

Please spare me.

Let me stay in Arthdal.

I'll do it.

I can kill them all.

I have a way.

Union leader!

Open the window

and tell them, now.

You won't get an answer from him.

You...

know nothing

about Sanung.

Tagon.

You have committed a mortal sin by attempting to kill your father.

The people of Arthdal will never forgive you for that.

I...

apologize.

Is Eunseom really in there?

Yes, it was Eunseom.

It was him, right?

Yes, it's him. He's here to save us.

Did you really come here to save us?

We can go home now. We can finally eat again.

No.

If Eunseom kills their leader,

they'll retaliate against us to avenge him.

Eunseom.

Eunseom...

Your son is kneeling before you and asking for forgiveness.

Every son in this world makes mistakes in his life.

Please forgive me and take my hand again.

It's the same son

who tried to kill me a minute ago.

And now you're asking me to forgive you and take your hand.

Yes, Father.

Please take my hand and pull me into your embrace...

just like that time.

I'm sorry. Gosh, I'm sorry. It's all my fault.

Taking you back that day was the biggest mistake of my life.

I let myself get swept up with fatherly love

and kept you around instead of killing or banishing you.

That's what led to this moment.

Yes, Father.

I am your son.

Rather than taking that lowly dujeumsaeng's side,

take the hand of your son.

Do you think I will repeat my mistake?

It's different this time.

I am not appealing to your love.

To hold power and to govern.

The insatiable gaegeol we both have.

DESIRE

If you address the people

with my hand in yours,

any doubt the people had of us

will dissolve like snow in late spring.

Those who chanted my name

will state yours in front of mine.

Back then, enduring the blowback

was all you got in return.

But this time,

what stands before you is glory.

Father,

I'm now known to have the psychic ability of the gods.

If you take that for yourself,

Asa Ron will have nothing to threaten you with.

Union leader!

Open the window and do as you promised.

Tell them your son tried to kill you

and that a warrior of Wahan saved you.

I said, open the window!

If you do so...

If you choose to betray your own son,

do you think I'll watch and do nothing?

I'll stop him. I'll protect you!

-I'll die trying if I must. -He has no chance against me.

You know what I'm capable of.

Will I...

be able to stop him?

This dujeumsaeng is different.

He's fast and strong.

If I am even a little late, I will end up killing my father in front of everyone.

How...

can I trust you?

Union leader.

You know my greatest weakness.

That is my weakness as well.

Yes, and that truth can hurt us both.

Perhaps...

there was no reason

for us to fight each other in the first place.

Just this once.

Take pity on me just this once...

and please

take my hand, Father.

No.

Union leader.

I won't let you do this.

I'll take care of this animal. Leave it to me.

Please take my hand.

Then step outside

and call out

my name warm-heartedly

just like you used to.

I'm sorry.

You poor boy.

I was sorry back then.

And I still am.

However,

I should've killed you a long time ago.

Yes.

You should've eliminated me

when I was still young and weak.

I did it.

I did it.

I finally did it, Taealha.

Something has happened.

Exactly what?

Airuju,

what are you instigating?

How did it get this far?

Why does he hate his son so much?

Sanung Niruha.

Why are you harboring so much hatred for your own son?

Did you really believe that catching the Union leader

will help free your people?

Do you even know what this place is?

Do you know what a nation is?

A nation?

You will never be able to save your people

because you have no idea

what this place is,

what a nation is,

and what moves the world.

You're clearly clueless.

How...

How could you...

You're also

unaware of this too.

It'll be you who ends up killing your own people.

I will tell everyone

that you killed your leader.

And who'll believe you

when it can't be verified?

Then...

what about my people?

Them?

They'll be massacred.

I know

that you're special.

You're sharp.

I'm surprised by how you were able to

replicate the martial arts of the Daekan Forces. But you see,

there's more than what meets the eye.

-Guards! -Yes, sir!

Sodang of Division One, Pyeonmi of Division Two,

and Gilseon of Division Three.

-Yes, sir. -Yes, sir.

DANBYEOK

We are done waiting.

We're going in.

But we have no idea what happened inside.

Enough time has passed.
