Arthdal Chronicles (아스달 연대기)

What is this?

Why are chickens kept in this tight space?

These are Hard Stones.

Oh, my goodness.

How did they shape all these Hard Stones?

When I made a necklace with Hard Stones,

it took me so long that I saw the full moon four times.

How did they shape so many of them?

Hey!

Hey, you moron!

You stupid horse! You little...

What the hell!

You stupid horse. These are rare medicinal herbs.

You ate so much of it!

You dumb horse...

-He looks as if he wants to kill him. -I know.

-My gosh. -Hey, call the guards!

-What should we do? -Someone please stop him!

-What's your problem? -Gosh, is he going to kill him?

-Hey! -Where are the guards?

Someone please stop him!

Oh, you're...

My lady!

"My lady"?

I told you to go back to where you came from.

There's something I have to do.

What you have to do now is leave Arthdal as soon as you can.

I will. I'm going to leave as soon as I accomplish what I must do.

This place is so weird.

You're the weirdest one here. You're an Igutu--

In any case, you must leave at once...

Hey, I'm not done talking.

Hey!

Hey.

-What are you doing in here? -We're sorry.

-What the hell are you doing here? -Let's go.

Get out!

I said, get out!

What is that place?

Whatever it is, it's none of your business.

Those kids.

Who are they?

Those children are war captives.

War?

Those young kids fought in the war with swords?

Obviously, their parents were the ones who fought in the war.

You...

and this kid

will end up like them if you get caught here, so leave at once.

The gigantic ladder

built by the Great Black Cliff...

Is that how it was made?

Probably.

I heard many people died while building that thing.

When I saw

those countless Hard Stones at the market,

and when I saw

the crazy massive ladder going up the cliff,

I just thought that there must be a giant.

But I was wrong.

They're just like those chickens.

What?

I saw some chickens at the market.

Dozens of them were confined in tiny crates.

I've never seen something so cruel before.

What are you talking about?

Those impressive things you people have built

weren't done by some giant.

Those kids...

People from my clan that you folks took... Those people are the ones doing the work!

Like those chickens, they're confined

and chained.

I must save the people from my clan. I can't leave until I save them.

But how?

How are you going to save them?

I will hold the Unit leader hostage and ask for them in exchange.

Who?

The Unit leader, Sanung Niruha.

What are you planning to do to Sanung Niruha once you get in?

I have to catch him.

Let's say you somehow manage to get in.

You'll get lost once you're inside.

Susu Eunseom has a good sense of direction.

A good sense of direction? That's when you can see the sun and the stars.

Do you know what a corridor is?

What about a cloister?

A "corridor"?

It's a long passage where you can't see

the sun or the stars. You can't even feel the wind.

Such passages are intertwined like a big spider web.

So, just hurry back to where you came from.

Then I should wait until he comes out.

I'm sure he'll come out at some point.

Do you think he'll be alone?

The Union leader is guarded by six warriors at all times.

Then I shall fight and win.

Sure, then I don't care even if you die.

One more thing.

It's "Union leader," not "Unit leader."

See? I told you so.

My lady!

How did you handle that punk?

Forget everything that just happened.

Pretend you don't know him even if you see his head hanging.

Pardon?

Okay.

What about the Bachi Guild?

The meeting must be going on now.

-Get over here already. -Gosh, I'm coming.

Have you heard the news?

Yes, it can't be.

-That's what I'm saying. -It's nonsense.

-Goodness. -I heard it'll actually happen.

HARIM

-We don't have a say in this matter. -It's so frustrating.

I'm sure you all know.

Tagon will stand trial at the Sacred Court.

He has done so much for us, the people of Arthdal.

Without him, we wouldn't have been able to wipe out the Neanthals.

-I know. -Definitely.

It's all my fault.

How many people lost their lives in that war?

I'm a doctor who treats ailments, but I used a disease to take lives.

The land beyond the White Peak Mountain, Atturad.

How did we conquer it?

Sanung Niruha made the decision

to conquer the land, and Tagon came up with the plan.

Then Georukeumihon sacrificed--

No, we used Asa Hon.

Then we gave her the convoluted title, Georukeumihon.

-Georukeumihon. -Georukeumihon.

-Georukeumihon. -Georukeumihon.

That's right. That's how we conquered Atturad.

And how many slaves have we brought here since the war?

Asa Ron Niruha is doing this to Tagon despite all his achievements.

Don't you think it's too harsh?

The Bachi Guild is having a meeting.

MERCHANTS' ASSOCIATION

Because of Tagon?

Yes, to show that the people of the Union are strongly against the decision.

ASA RON

What will you do now?

I suppose it's all on me now.

ASA MOT

But there is one thing that I still can't figure out.

Tagon...

I wonder what

he's thinking.

Is he communing with his father?

If so, since when?

I shall ask the gods.

Prepare the Sacred Smoke.

What do you think

Tagon is planning to do?

Look.

Asa Ron Niruha

thinks that Sanung Niruha devised the whole scheme.

But Tagon is actually the one who plotted the entire thing.

And you did exactly what Tagon had asked you to do.

HAE TUAK

Did you come up with the scheme?

Hey, stop blabbering nonsense.

I can't think because of your yammering.

Okay. I'm sorry, my lady.

Did you visit the tower?

Oh, no.

-Get your act together, will you? -Gosh.

Well, until when do you plan to keep it a secret?

My gosh, how could Tagon do this to you?

You two aren't even married yet, but he brought a kid.

Hey!

Yes, I'm off.

I'll head there right away.

Tagon,

what are you thinking?

Come with us.

Why should I?

Well, how dare you try to grab me

without even explaining what's going on?

Break it up.

Mihol.

MIHOL

What?

I asked you if you think Tagon would let this go down.

SANUNG

He probably won't put up with this.

He must be aware of what's going on.

I heard the Bachi Guild had a meeting.

DANBYEOK

That should be enough, right?

Did many people see it?

Yes.

People are talking about

how sincerely you've been praying to Aramun to save your son.

The word is already spreading.

Aramun.

What could be the meaning

behind those fingers that Aramun Haesulla engraved?

If Tagon decides to unsheathe his sword...

Even if he does that, his sword will be aimed at Asa Ron.
