Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:04,191 --> 00:00:07,260
Japanese pirates attacked Bean County?
2
00:00:07,895 --> 00:00:10,530
I declared war and
ordered them to surrender,
3
00:00:10,531 --> 00:00:12,699
and they launched a preemptive attack?
4
00:00:14,769 --> 00:00:17,771
Assemble the warriors at once.
5
00:00:18,438 --> 00:00:21,508
If the enemy we ordered to surrender
6
00:00:21,509 --> 00:00:23,510
made a preemptive move, what's next?
7
00:00:24,946 --> 00:00:28,582
No, call everyone The Supreme
Council, Six Ministries, everyone.
8
00:00:28,583 --> 00:00:30,449
I have an important announcement.
9
00:00:35,590 --> 00:00:38,425
Are we to launch an immediate
attack on Tsushima?
10
00:00:38,426 --> 00:00:43,330
Perhaps Your Majesty should meet the
man who requested your audience first.
11
00:00:57,979 --> 00:01:00,947
Aren't you Sir Pyoung Dojeon?
12
00:01:00,948 --> 00:01:03,850
Yes, Your Majesty.
13
00:01:04,252 --> 00:01:07,254
Why did you request to see me?
14
00:01:09,323 --> 00:01:11,224
We have a leak in the information.
15
00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:20,165
How else could they have chosen Bean
County where the warships are being built?
16
00:01:22,035 --> 00:01:26,806
There's only one place this
leak could be coming from,
17
00:01:26,807 --> 00:01:29,242
and that's the Japanese village in Donglae.
18
00:01:30,845 --> 00:01:34,714
We're going to do some
vigorous groundwork
19
00:01:34,715 --> 00:01:37,651
at home before we launch this conquest.
20
00:01:38,853 --> 00:01:43,056
I want the Japanese Village
completely evacuated
21
00:01:43,057 --> 00:01:46,626
and every last Japanese arrested.
22
00:01:46,627 --> 00:01:48,495
No, Your Eminence!
23
00:01:49,230 --> 00:01:50,764
Commander Choi.
24
00:01:51,165 --> 00:01:54,234
Spies must be found,
25
00:01:54,235 --> 00:01:58,171
but we cannot evacuate
the entire township.
26
00:01:58,172 --> 00:01:59,839
I agree, Your Eminence.
27
00:02:00,374 --> 00:02:04,611
Majority of the Japanese Village
residents are Joseonese citizens.
28
00:02:04,612 --> 00:02:07,013
They are working with the enemy.
29
00:02:07,515 --> 00:02:09,783
Only the spies must be punished.
30
00:02:09,784 --> 00:02:13,320
How will you stop vital information
from getting into enemy's hands while
31
00:02:13,321 --> 00:02:15,421
you're looking for these spies?
32
00:02:15,422 --> 00:02:19,693
I'm appalled by these
irresponsible outbursts!
33
00:02:19,694 --> 00:02:22,996
We will be swift in
ferreting out the spies.
34
00:02:22,997 --> 00:02:28,702
Please withdraw the order of evacuation.
35
00:02:29,203 --> 00:02:34,274
I will not retract my order.
36
00:02:34,675 --> 00:02:39,779
We cannot abide.
37
00:02:39,780 --> 00:02:44,384
We cannot turn our sword on the
people we have sworn to protect.
38
00:02:44,385 --> 00:02:46,519
Please withdraw your
command, Your Majesty.
39
00:02:58,599 --> 00:03:05,505
Don't you know the
consequences of disobedience?
40
00:03:05,506 --> 00:03:13,446
May we turn in our uniforms and
lay our necks on the guillotines?
41
00:03:21,922 --> 00:03:27,293
I will not retract my order.
42
00:03:28,461 --> 00:03:32,599
So do as you wish!
43
00:04:12,373 --> 00:04:16,810
I, too, am against forced
evacuation of the Japanese Village.
44
00:04:17,778 --> 00:04:23,616
So you're the one who put
those men up to defy me.
45
00:04:24,251 --> 00:04:27,720
I am not a child.
46
00:04:30,824 --> 00:04:36,529
I'd have to be a child with a selfish
purpose to put anyone up to anything.
47
00:04:37,498 --> 00:04:42,302
Don't you have anything better to do
with your time instead of sitting here
48
00:04:42,303 --> 00:04:45,138
trying to play word games with me?
49
00:04:45,706 --> 00:04:50,310
No. King would jest about
the lives of his people, Father.
50
00:04:50,311 --> 00:04:55,849
How many times must I tell you not
to interfere with military affairs?
51
00:04:55,850 --> 00:04:59,886
Violence against the people
is not military affairs, Father.
52
00:05:01,822 --> 00:05:07,260
I will kill off my in-laws and destroy
my closest aides if you so demand.
53
00:05:07,261 --> 00:05:11,798
And if you tell me to slay my political
enemy with my own hands,
54
00:05:11,799 --> 00:05:15,835
I will give that a thought as well.
55
00:05:16,537 --> 00:05:25,311
But one thing... I can give up
all of my governing principles,
56
00:05:25,312 --> 00:05:29,382
but I can not give up the
safety of my people.
57
00:05:30,851 --> 00:05:32,484
Leave.
58
00:05:35,055 --> 00:05:39,459
If there is a remote possibility
that they can benefit the enemy,
59
00:05:39,460 --> 00:05:41,661
they are not our people to protect.
60
00:05:41,662 --> 00:05:46,232
I will not take life lightly
not even life of an enemy.
61
00:05:46,233 --> 00:05:49,802
Joseonus Tsushima's suzerain state.
We must show munificence.
62
00:05:49,803 --> 00:05:52,338
War is reality.
63
00:05:52,339 --> 00:06:00,046
It is a treacherous fight with
countless soldiers' lives at stake.
64
00:06:00,047 --> 00:06:04,284
Then why don't you make an
attempt to learn from the enemy?
65
00:06:06,387 --> 00:06:10,857
They have the intelligence-gathering
capability to scout our navy base in
66
00:06:10,858 --> 00:06:13,393
advance and launch a preemptive attack,
67
00:06:13,394 --> 00:06:16,996
but we haven't even made an attempt
to study their movements.
68
00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:27,340
I firmly believe diplomatic
resolution is better than war,
69
00:06:27,341 --> 00:06:31,110
but I will not oppose
if war is unavoidable.
70
00:06:31,111 --> 00:06:37,150
But I do oppose launching of conquest
without any kind of reconnaissance.
71
00:06:37,151 --> 00:06:43,690
This is because I am fully aware
that a war is not a game
72
00:06:43,691 --> 00:06:48,995
but a treacherous fight
where lives are at stake.
73
00:07:08,048 --> 00:07:13,987
Concession is advisable
this time, Your Majesty.
74
00:07:15,255 --> 00:07:20,093
You're the last person I expected
to dance to the King's tune.
75
00:07:20,694 --> 00:07:25,632
Choi Yundeok is worshipped by the soldiers,
76
00:07:25,633 --> 00:07:28,835
Yi Chun and Choi Haesan are
77
00:07:28,836 --> 00:07:33,805
each highest experts in modern
weaponry and explosives.
78
00:07:33,806 --> 00:07:36,576
Conquest is impossible without them.
79
00:07:36,577 --> 00:07:42,515
Military talent can be poison in those
who do not obey the Royal command.
80
00:07:44,718 --> 00:07:49,222
The new King's orders are Royal
commands as well, Your Eminence.
81
00:07:53,426 --> 00:07:58,297
The man sitting in the audience hall is
neither a prince nor an heir apparent.
82
00:07:58,298 --> 00:08:00,166
He is the sovereign King of this state.
83
00:08:00,167 --> 00:08:03,670
What are you trying to say?
84
00:08:04,471 --> 00:08:07,840
That I should turn over the military
85
00:08:07,841 --> 00:08:11,344
to the young King as well and
retire to the back room completely?
86
00:08:11,345 --> 00:08:14,247
Do you really think he
can run this country?
87
00:08:15,149 --> 00:08:21,621
I was merely trying to remind you.
I did not intend to upset you, Eminence.
88
00:08:22,723 --> 00:08:27,927
Allow the King to handle the Japanese
Village and the intelligence gathering.
89
00:08:27,928 --> 00:08:35,468
You must ease tension so you can
discern these warriors' true disposition.
90
00:08:38,005 --> 00:08:39,672
Their disposition?
91
00:08:40,107 --> 00:08:48,981
If they harbor any intent to undermine
your authority, you will need time
92
00:08:48,982 --> 00:08:53,653
time to rally your own men
to keep them in check.
93
00:08:54,388 --> 00:09:00,793
Choi Yundeok is undeniably the most
powerful man in the military right now.
94
00:09:04,198 --> 00:09:08,701
You need time to quash them completely.
95
00:09:10,003 --> 00:09:15,975
I'll put you in charge of that task.
You're the new Minister of Military.
96
00:09:15,976 --> 00:09:20,313
If you're so well-informed about the
warriors and goings on of the military,
97
00:09:20,314 --> 00:09:25,017
no one would be better
suited for the position.
98
00:09:25,018 --> 00:09:26,819
More importantly,
99
00:09:26,820 --> 00:09:36,162
I think you're the only one capable of
filling the military with good men
100
00:09:36,163 --> 00:09:38,430
who will not dare defy me.
101
00:09:44,438 --> 00:09:49,742
Is Jo Malseng's advancement to
Minister of Military a good thing?
102
00:09:52,312 --> 00:09:55,014
Congratulations on your
advancement, Minister Jo.
103
00:09:56,116 --> 00:09:59,151
Let us sit down.
104
00:10:08,128 --> 00:10:14,467
Loyalty is the most
important virtue in soldiers.
105
00:10:15,435 --> 00:10:20,173
I'm sure I don't have to remind you
who has the right of military command
106
00:10:20,174 --> 00:10:22,241
where your orders come from.
107
00:10:34,221 --> 00:10:41,227
Word has it he is re-staffing his office
with politically biased generals.
108
00:10:41,962 --> 00:10:45,464
This is preparatory positioning.
109
00:10:45,999 --> 00:10:58,077
Perhaps to kill off your Majesty's
warriors like he killed off Gang Sangin.
110
00:11:26,039 --> 00:11:28,507
Congratulations on your advancement,
Minister of Military.
111
00:11:29,376 --> 00:11:34,814
I am not certain if I'm fit for
the job in these critical times.
112
00:11:35,983 --> 00:11:37,884
I'm sure you'll do an excellent job.
113
00:11:45,726 --> 00:11:50,696
I think the best decision I made so far
as the new King is putting you at the
114
00:11:50,697 --> 00:11:54,033
heart of my inner-circle politics.
115
00:11:57,537 --> 00:12:03,142
His Eminence acknowledges
the importance of
116
00:12:03,143 --> 00:12:06,646
intelligence gathering
largely thanks to you.
117
00:12:08,015 --> 00:12:12,818
I was merely doing my job
as a servant of this state.
118
00:12:15,055 --> 00:12:18,291
I ask you for your continued
support, Minister Jo.
119
00:12:48,822 --> 00:12:54,493
It gives me no pleasure to have to
send you to such a dangerous place.
120
00:12:57,931 --> 00:12:59,365
Secretary Yun.
121
00:13:00,233 --> 00:13:02,168
Yes, Your Majesty.
122
00:13:02,169 --> 00:13:08,741
I still haven't given up on finding
a peaceful resolution with Tsushima.
123
00:13:09,843 --> 00:13:22,755
War should be the last option we
turn to only when all other options
124
00:13:22,756 --> 00:13:25,057
have been exhausted.
125
00:13:25,592 --> 00:13:30,930
I'm sure you know that better than I do.
126
00:13:34,301 --> 00:13:42,775
I pray that you will bring back
important information that will
127
00:13:42,776 --> 00:13:45,011
enable us to negotiate with the enemy.
128
00:13:46,279 --> 00:13:51,717
I will do my very best, Your Majesty.
129
00:14:11,638 --> 00:14:14,173
I cannot trust you.
130
00:14:15,108 --> 00:14:18,077
Because I am not Joseonese?
131
00:14:19,713 --> 00:14:22,548
I did not know that you
were not a Joseonese.
132
00:14:24,818 --> 00:14:26,118
Your Majesty...
133
00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:30,456
How dare you look upon this
government with such contempt?
134
00:14:30,991 --> 00:14:34,326
Do you think we are careless enough
to give important government posts
135
00:14:34,327 --> 00:14:36,262
and demand loyalty to a man
who is not Joseonese?
136
00:14:38,465 --> 00:14:44,637
What is in doubt here is your
competence as a government agent
137
00:14:44,638 --> 00:14:47,239
for failing to keep a classified
military information.
138
00:14:51,011 --> 00:14:52,344
But...
139
00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:58,384
I am deeply grateful for
your loyalty for turning in
140
00:14:58,385 --> 00:15:00,453
your own son to protect the front.
141
00:15:01,254 --> 00:15:04,957
Would you spare my son?
142
00:15:12,265 --> 00:15:14,633
Izuhara, Tsushima Island
143
00:15:17,170 --> 00:15:18,471
Stop!
144
00:15:22,008 --> 00:15:24,777
Double-crosser must be executed.
145
00:15:24,778 --> 00:15:26,278
Drop that sword.
146
00:15:28,615 --> 00:15:31,750
It's his father that stopped our
attack on Bean County.
147
00:15:31,751 --> 00:15:33,552
He tipped him off!
148
00:15:33,687 --> 00:15:35,554
Then he would've fled!
149
00:15:37,757 --> 00:15:40,025
Drop that sword, Kumaju.
150
00:15:40,026 --> 00:15:43,562
We can't lose an important
agent like Mouko.
151
00:15:58,345 --> 00:15:59,745
Are you all right?
152
00:16:18,498 --> 00:16:20,266
Don't take it personally.
153
00:16:21,234 --> 00:16:24,370
He's just angry.
154
00:16:26,473 --> 00:16:32,745
I always thought my father was full of
155
00:16:32,746 --> 00:16:37,950
hot air and I never took him seriously,
156
00:16:38,070 --> 00:16:41,287
but I guess he was right about one thing.
157
00:16:44,925 --> 00:16:51,263
That traitor has no home to go back to...
158
00:16:51,264 --> 00:16:54,567
He was right.
159
00:16:57,304 --> 00:17:04,009
You can get rid of the traitor label
anytime by proving your loyalty.
160
00:17:20,527 --> 00:17:23,495
I will lay down my life for this conquest.
161
00:17:23,496 --> 00:17:30,736
So please let me live as a Joseonese
when I return triumphant.
162
00:17:30,737 --> 00:17:37,076
Your son would be safer if Joseon and
Tsushima found a peaceful settlement.
163
00:17:39,679 --> 00:17:43,949
What I want with Tsushima's a peace.
164
00:17:43,950 --> 00:17:48,887
And to find a way to achieve that,
there can be no more provocation.
165
00:17:48,888 --> 00:17:56,328
Then what do you think is your
job as a servant of Joseon?
166
00:18:03,370 --> 00:18:06,372
Japanese Village, Donglae,
Gyeongsang Province
167
00:18:22,087 --> 00:18:23,355
The report?
168
00:18:34,433 --> 00:18:36,701
Will this be enough?
169
00:18:36,702 --> 00:18:41,640
Tsushima is quite upset by
the failure at Bean County.
170
00:18:43,977 --> 00:18:46,912
Then I guess they're going
to be even more upset now.
171
00:18:52,619 --> 00:18:57,156
Because they're not going
to get those reports either.
172
00:18:57,157 --> 00:18:59,191
You're...!
173
00:18:59,192 --> 00:19:01,826
Long time no see, Yamada.
174
00:19:02,929 --> 00:19:07,599
I knew it had to be you working for
175
00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:09,501
the new lord So Sadamori.
176
00:19:09,502 --> 00:19:11,737
Tahira Dozen, you bastard!
177
00:19:59,419 --> 00:20:01,353
Where is Shimichi?
178
00:20:01,888 --> 00:20:07,559
I am not a traitor like you, Tahira!
179
00:20:10,597 --> 00:20:11,864
Arrest them!
180
00:20:16,068 --> 00:20:20,190
1419, First Year of King Sejong's reign
181
00:20:20,234 --> 00:20:23,293
21 Japanese spies arrested at
Donglae, Gyeongsang Province
182
00:20:42,061 --> 00:20:46,031
How did you know my
associates would be arrested?
183
00:20:50,470 --> 00:20:52,638
I have an acquaintance working in
184
00:20:52,639 --> 00:20:54,807
Donglae Government Office.
185
00:20:54,808 --> 00:20:57,142
It cost me a pretty penny
to get that information.
186
00:20:58,645 --> 00:21:01,079
So you came from Bean County?
187
00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:02,314
Yes.
188
00:21:02,315 --> 00:21:04,349
I owe you one.
189
00:21:05,118 --> 00:21:09,721
You can thank me when we
are safely back in Tsushima.
190
00:21:15,762 --> 00:21:18,931
I report that the spies have been captured.
191
00:21:32,245 --> 00:21:35,581
It's the list of 21 spies that were captured.
192
00:21:35,582 --> 00:21:41,854
Have them publicly executed immediately.
193
00:21:41,855 --> 00:21:46,825
I'd like to wait for the intelligence
report from Tsushima.
194
00:21:48,394 --> 00:21:52,865
There is a possibility they are holding
Joseonese or Ming Chinese prisoners.
195
00:21:52,866 --> 00:21:55,968
We could use them in hostage exchange.
196
00:22:01,074 --> 00:22:06,245
Rescuing Hanlin Scholar
Yehjin has to be made
197
00:22:06,246 --> 00:22:09,915
one of your primary objective
in this conquest.
198
00:22:11,918 --> 00:22:16,355
What makes you certain
he is being detained in Tsushima?
199
00:22:16,923 --> 00:22:20,259
He is Ming's top explosives expert.
200
00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:24,229
You mean they kidnapped
him because of this?
201
00:22:24,230 --> 00:22:30,002
I believe it is Joseon's job
to investigate that.
202
00:22:30,437 --> 00:22:38,144
I'm anxious to find out what kind of
intelligence-gathering capacity you have.
203
00:22:41,814 --> 00:22:45,016
Seizure of Ming merchant
ship has been confirmed?
204
00:22:46,319 --> 00:22:48,754
Izuhara, Tsushima Island
205
00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:56,228
It's anchored at Ofunae, sir.
206
00:22:58,264 --> 00:23:02,901
Then it's almost certain Hanlin Scholar
Yehjin is on the island as well.
207
00:23:02,902 --> 00:23:08,707
And only place they could be keeping
him is here at Lord So's mansion.
208
00:23:10,576 --> 00:23:15,313
What did you find at their military base?
Are they working on gunpowder arms?
209
00:23:19,018 --> 00:23:20,619
Youngsil?
210
00:23:20,620 --> 00:23:22,788
What kind of special talent
do you think he has?
211
00:23:23,723 --> 00:23:25,924
I wonder what he likes to make.
212
00:23:26,691 --> 00:23:32,130
Do you think his weapons are
more advance than ours?
213
00:23:33,466 --> 00:23:36,935
If they are, in what way?
214
00:23:37,804 --> 00:23:40,672
Such expression of yearning on your face...
215
00:23:40,673 --> 00:23:45,110
You look like you're
aching to see your lover.
216
00:23:46,078 --> 00:23:53,485
If you want to meet him so badly,
why don't you get yourself captured?
217
00:23:53,486 --> 00:23:57,856
Who knows? They might stick
you in the same cell with Yehjin.
218
00:23:59,959 --> 00:24:03,261
I asked you what you
found at the military base.
219
00:24:03,863 --> 00:24:06,865
Swords and arrows make up
most of their weaponry.
220
00:24:06,866 --> 00:24:09,134
There are no traces of
cannons being developed.
221
00:24:11,070 --> 00:24:13,438
That's a relief.
222
00:24:13,439 --> 00:24:21,513
That's a huge relief for the King who
is anxiously waiting for us hack home.
223
00:24:27,820 --> 00:24:31,957
What are you waiting for?
Come along.
224
00:24:31,958 --> 00:24:33,158
Where are we going?
225
00:24:33,159 --> 00:24:37,062
We're going to see where
the nearest port is from here
226
00:24:37,063 --> 00:24:41,600
so we can find a way to
rescue your beloved scholar.
227
00:24:47,707 --> 00:24:49,741
Hostage exchange...
228
00:24:49,742 --> 00:24:53,411
I don't think it's a bad idea.
229
00:24:53,412 --> 00:24:59,718
Unexpected things can always pop
up in a war and it will do no harm to
230
00:24:59,719 --> 00:25:04,923
hold a few different cards to play
that is if he agrees to this war.
231
00:25:05,458 --> 00:25:11,429
Is the King still trying
to fight me on this?
232
00:25:11,430 --> 00:25:17,302
There is a disturbing movement
in the Hall of Worthies.
233
00:25:21,040 --> 00:25:23,541
A disturbing movement?
234
00:25:27,345 --> 00:25:31,082
According to our research, shortage
of food supply has been the primary
235
00:25:31,083 --> 00:25:34,686
impetus behind Japanese pirate raids on
our soil dating back to Goryeo Dynasty.
236
00:25:34,687 --> 00:25:41,226
So we might be able to negotiate if we offer
economic assistance.
237
00:25:54,739 --> 00:25:56,841
You're late, Director Park.
238
00:25:56,842 --> 00:26:01,980
Do you realize how dangerous
this is, Your Majesty?
239
00:26:04,016 --> 00:26:05,350
Please sit down.
240
00:26:05,351 --> 00:26:08,153
You're still talking about
negotiating peace with the enemy.
241
00:26:08,154 --> 00:26:10,956
Is it bad to look for a peaceful resolution?
242
00:26:11,657 --> 00:26:16,928
As the director of Hall of Worthies,
I cannot let you defy the abdicated King.
243
00:26:20,533 --> 00:26:24,102
We're weighing our realistic loss gain
that this conquest will produce, sir.
244
00:26:24,103 --> 00:26:28,305
That in itself is a ridiculous notion.
245
00:26:28,306 --> 00:26:34,145
Provide economic aid to negotiate
peace? Do you think that's justified?
246
00:26:35,047 --> 00:26:36,982
Absolutely.
247
00:26:36,983 --> 00:26:42,654
If we conquer Tsushima,
they are Joseonese from day one.
248
00:26:42,655 --> 00:26:44,656
We have to provide for them.
249
00:26:44,657 --> 00:26:50,061
Then wouldn't it be smarter not
to waste money on war funds?
250
00:26:51,063 --> 00:26:54,332
We calculated the budget for this
conquest including food supply
251
00:26:54,333 --> 00:26:57,469
and weapons cost, factored in
the projected loss of farm goods
252
00:26:57,470 --> 00:27:03,575
production due to loss of labor,
and came up with the figure
253
00:27:03,576 --> 00:27:11,082
that could feed everyone on the entire
Island of Tsushima for three years.
254
00:27:11,684 --> 00:27:19,090
More importantly, if we neglect to take
care of Tsushima after the conquest
255
00:27:19,091 --> 00:27:21,760
they will eventually turn into pirates again.
256
00:27:21,761 --> 00:27:27,766
Only this time they will not be
foreign pirates; they will be our own.
257
00:27:27,767 --> 00:27:29,667
Are we wrong, Director?
258
00:27:31,804 --> 00:27:36,908
I am inclined to agree with the scholars.
259
00:27:42,381 --> 00:27:47,285
Minister Park, if you don't
disagree with me completely,
260
00:27:47,286 --> 00:27:52,557
I'd like you to examine this
possibility more closely for me.
261
00:28:05,738 --> 00:28:08,773
Pathetic...
262
00:28:11,610 --> 00:28:17,782
1How dare he consort with those
children and try to break my will!
263
00:28:25,991 --> 00:28:28,326
Resign from the Supreme Council at once!
264
00:28:30,529 --> 00:28:33,164
How long have you been
serving the Royal Court?
265
00:28:33,165 --> 00:28:36,634
How could you fall for those
those children's argument?
266
00:28:37,970 --> 00:28:44,175
They are right about the cost of this
conquest and thereafter, Your Majesty.
267
00:28:44,810 --> 00:28:47,312
How did they calculate this cost?
268
00:28:47,313 --> 00:28:50,882
How did they calculate the amount
of food that we will have to provide?
269
00:28:53,018 --> 00:28:55,887
If they're basing it on military
provisions, they're talking about
270
00:28:55,888 --> 00:28:57,755
amount barely enough to sustain life.
271
00:28:57,756 --> 00:29:00,892
No wonder they got three years.
272
00:29:00,893 --> 00:29:04,629
What if Tsushima is not
satisfied and they want more?
273
00:29:05,164 --> 00:29:09,901
Are we going to give them everything
they want and let them milk us dry?
274
00:29:11,337 --> 00:29:17,675
And if they're still not satisfied, they
will turn into pirates again. What then?
275
00:29:21,680 --> 00:29:24,349
Go back to the Hall of Worthies.
276
00:29:24,350 --> 00:29:31,156
And put the scholars back to their places.
277
00:29:58,017 --> 00:30:05,223
Don't take his words lightly
and resign from your post.
278
00:30:06,258 --> 00:30:15,033
If you fail to suppress the Hall of Worthies,
His Eminence will use you to destroy them.
279
00:30:15,834 --> 00:30:22,440
Indeed power is sweet, but you
don't want that on you. Do you?
280
00:30:23,008 --> 00:30:29,180
I have no regrets about my past actions.
281
00:30:31,350 --> 00:30:34,652
I made necessary political
choices, that is all.
282
00:30:34,653 --> 00:30:38,623
Then let this be a warning.
283
00:30:40,025 --> 00:30:46,130
If you ever attempt to hurt the
Royal House to protect yourself,
284
00:30:46,131 --> 00:30:48,833
I will not be idle.
285
00:31:40,586 --> 00:31:42,387
A resignation?
286
00:31:42,388 --> 00:31:44,522
Isn't this what you want?
287
00:31:45,758 --> 00:31:49,894
What makes you think
I want your resignation?
288
00:31:51,163 --> 00:31:58,369
I'm prepared to give up everything.
Honesty will not offend me.
289
00:31:58,370 --> 00:32:03,041
I know it isn't easy for Your
Majesty to keep my close.
290
00:32:06,178 --> 00:32:09,747
You are right.
291
00:32:10,382 --> 00:32:14,952
I'm a human being.
It's no easy having you.
292
00:32:14,953 --> 00:32:20,458
It takes all of my energy to suppress
my feelings every time I see you.
293
00:32:20,459 --> 00:32:24,762
Is that why you're waiting for
me to get bumped off next?
294
00:32:25,497 --> 00:32:29,400
You'll get your comeuppance.
295
00:32:29,401 --> 00:32:31,903
You killed my father-in-law
and my trusted men,
296
00:32:31,904 --> 00:32:35,807
so stick around and get
what's coming to you.
297
00:32:35,808 --> 00:32:38,609
Was that vengeful thought?
298
00:32:41,847 --> 00:32:46,284
I can't think of any other reason
why you wouldn't accept
299
00:32:46,285 --> 00:32:48,486
my resignation from the Hall of Worthies.
300
00:32:49,021 --> 00:32:51,689
His Eminence cannot hurt you
301
00:32:51,690 --> 00:32:54,792
even if the Hall of Worthies defies
and challenges him.
302
00:32:54,793 --> 00:32:58,029
But he will need a scapegoat.
303
00:32:58,030 --> 00:33:02,767
What is your opinion as the
director of the Hall of Worthies?
304
00:33:02,768 --> 00:33:09,040
Do you think myself and the scholars
are reviewing diplomatic resolution
305
00:33:09,041 --> 00:33:11,075
in order to defy and challenge my father?
306
00:33:11,076 --> 00:33:14,178
What I think is unimportant.
307
00:33:14,179 --> 00:33:17,448
Regardless of feasibility,
308
00:33:17,449 --> 00:33:21,419
government policies are most often
used as tools to win political battles.
309
00:33:22,121 --> 00:33:28,326
I'm not asking you for a lesson in politics.
I'm asking for your opinion.
310
00:33:28,794 --> 00:33:32,563
Is the policy feasible?
311
00:33:34,066 --> 00:33:37,635
Regretfully, it is not.
312
00:33:40,339 --> 00:33:46,544
Looking at the numbers, at first I
thought it was feasible, but there
313
00:33:46,545 --> 00:33:49,914
is one factor you did not account for
and that's the enemy's disposition.
314
00:33:49,915 --> 00:33:55,252
As the director of Hall of Worthies,
I cannot support this policy.
315
00:34:00,492 --> 00:34:07,464
Now will you accept my resignation?
316
00:34:09,868 --> 00:34:17,375
I might have if you didn't oppose.
317
00:34:22,181 --> 00:34:24,848
Stay with us and continue
to challenge our thoughts.
318
00:34:25,684 --> 00:34:30,588
Policies will slacken without
thorough review of opposing ideas.
319
00:34:31,356 --> 00:34:34,992
Your objections will serve
as an important keystone
320
00:34:34,993 --> 00:34:37,462
in forging new policies.
321
00:34:40,866 --> 00:34:50,942
Minister Park, won't you keep my
side now not as my political enemy
322
00:34:50,943 --> 00:34:55,046
but as a public servant who wants
to dedicate his life for Joseon?
323
00:34:55,047 --> 00:35:00,818
Isn't that the real reason why
you became a public servant?
324
00:35:30,115 --> 00:35:33,718
Your Highness,
His Majesty the King is here...
325
00:35:45,731 --> 00:35:48,132
It's very late.
326
00:35:49,935 --> 00:35:52,937
What are you doing here?
327
00:35:52,938 --> 00:35:56,841
His Majesty is scheduled to retire
to the Lady's chambers tonight.
328
00:36:08,453 --> 00:36:13,758
Why did you let me know about your
denial of Park Eun's resignation?
329
00:36:15,327 --> 00:36:20,464
I didn't want you to find
out from someone else.
330
00:36:22,668 --> 00:36:25,536
What am I expected to do now?
331
00:36:25,537 --> 00:36:31,509
Understand the husband who treats
my father's killer with high regard?
332
00:36:31,510 --> 00:36:32,777
My Queen...
333
00:36:32,778 --> 00:36:39,784
You have many loyal retainers
other than Park Eun to serve you.
334
00:37:46,918 --> 00:37:53,124
Does it bother you how
cold you were to him?
335
00:37:54,493 --> 00:37:58,562
It's a bad habit to assume things.
336
00:38:35,834 --> 00:38:41,505
These are from the Queen's
chambers, Your Majesty.
337
00:38:46,712 --> 00:38:50,548
She is trying.
338
00:38:52,718 --> 00:38:59,990
I wanted you to know that she is
trying very hard in her own way
339
00:38:59,991 --> 00:39:01,992
to understand you.
340
00:39:09,735 --> 00:39:14,705
I wish these strokes had more strength...
341
00:39:16,141 --> 00:39:23,180
Then I think I would feel less badly...
342
00:39:45,670 --> 00:39:48,339
Izuhara, Tsushima Island
343
00:39:58,884 --> 00:40:00,885
That man...!
344
00:40:00,886 --> 00:40:02,620
Do you recognize someone?
345
00:40:03,455 --> 00:40:07,091
He's a monk that often comes
to us as emissary from Kuju.
346
00:40:07,993 --> 00:40:12,062
Not only have they united
the neighboring islands...
347
00:40:12,063 --> 00:40:13,364
So Sadamori.
348
00:40:13,932 --> 00:40:20,037
You wish to establish alliance
with us to keep Joseon in check?
349
00:40:20,038 --> 00:40:23,707
Would you accept my proposal, General?
350
00:40:29,247 --> 00:40:32,750
I like the way you think!
351
00:40:34,085 --> 00:40:38,689
They're attempting alliance with
powerful men of the Bakufu...
352
00:40:40,959 --> 00:40:44,795
They're much too smart
to regarded as pirates...
353
00:40:47,065 --> 00:40:52,036
Lord of Tsushima So Sadamori...
He is more than a pirate leader!
354
00:40:54,606 --> 00:40:58,742
Tsushima...
Were not dealing with crude pirates!
355
00:41:10,322 --> 00:41:12,923
Take this to the King at once.
356
00:41:33,111 --> 00:41:35,212
The enemy is not crude pirates?
357
00:41:38,516 --> 00:41:40,618
What did you say?
358
00:41:40,619 --> 00:41:45,956
How could crude pirates even think
about an alliance with the mainland?
359
00:41:57,903 --> 00:42:04,508
I still haven't given up on finding
a peaceful resolution with Tsushima.
360
00:42:05,610 --> 00:42:16,220
War should be the last option
we turn to only when all other
361
00:42:16,221 --> 00:42:20,824
options have been exhausted.
362
00:42:26,932 --> 00:42:30,768
Which of Sadamori's men
might be open to reason?
363
00:42:31,469 --> 00:42:34,939
If you're trying to bargain,
So Shun is the man.
364
00:42:39,744 --> 00:42:43,314
An special investigator from the Japanese
365
00:42:43,315 --> 00:42:49,153
Village wants us to send one of our men?
366
00:42:51,957 --> 00:42:54,725
Why is there a special investigator
in Japanese Village?
367
00:42:55,894 --> 00:43:03,000
Do we have an information leak as well?
368
00:43:07,005 --> 00:43:10,641
You have nothing to fear now, my lord.
369
00:43:10,642 --> 00:43:16,947
We have
a massive reinforcement behind us now.
370
00:43:18,950 --> 00:43:24,922
It's time for us to declare war, my lord!
371
00:43:36,339 --> 00:43:38,756
Donglae City Hall
372
00:43:42,707 --> 00:43:45,109
Declaration of war?
373
00:43:45,110 --> 00:43:50,280
Joseon is preparing a conquest,
so you could call it a defensive.
374
00:43:50,281 --> 00:43:54,018
Our King wants peaceful resolution.
375
00:43:54,019 --> 00:43:58,922
Turn Gyeongsang Province over to us with
the Japanese Village in Donglae intact.
376
00:43:58,923 --> 00:44:02,559
And perhaps we will consider.
377
00:44:03,528 --> 00:44:07,264
Tsushima cannot defeat Joseon.
Don't you know that?
378
00:44:08,032 --> 00:44:11,735
We're ready to die fighting.
379
00:44:12,570 --> 00:44:18,409
We could provide economic aid if you
want. I will discuss it with the King.
380
00:44:21,679 --> 00:44:29,685
We are neither pirates nor beggars.
We will not kneel to Joseon anymore.
381
00:44:30,387 --> 00:44:36,527
And if we need economic stability,
we will earn it through war.
382
00:44:38,296 --> 00:44:41,698
You can't mask thievery with dignity.
383
00:44:41,699 --> 00:44:45,102
This meeting is over.
384
00:44:47,439 --> 00:44:49,139
What is the meaning of this?
385
00:44:49,140 --> 00:44:52,676
Who is the pirate now?
386
00:44:53,878 --> 00:44:55,379
Put the swords down.
387
00:44:55,880 --> 00:44:59,450
Messengers cannot be harmed.
388
00:45:19,971 --> 00:45:24,141
Is there no other option?
389
00:45:24,843 --> 00:45:27,177
Forgive me, Your Majesty.
390
00:45:53,505 --> 00:45:56,906
What do you think the King will do?
391
00:45:58,610 --> 00:46:01,778
I don't know...
392
00:46:03,448 --> 00:46:09,319
He never gives up anything.
393
00:46:11,022 --> 00:46:17,694
You mean he might continue to
insist on a non-violent approach?
394
00:46:18,930 --> 00:46:26,036
He was just as firm on finding
a diplomatic resolution as
395
00:46:26,037 --> 00:46:28,672
his father was on going to war.
396
00:46:30,241 --> 00:46:38,048
King's can't easily give up what
they set out to do as we can.
397
00:46:38,049 --> 00:46:43,220
What will happen if we
fail to make him give up?
398
00:46:45,456 --> 00:46:50,027
There will be bloodshed at least
here at the Hall of Worthies.
399
00:47:07,378 --> 00:47:08,745
Your Majesty...
400
00:47:09,681 --> 00:47:11,615
Am I wrong?
401
00:47:12,817 --> 00:47:19,923
Am I an idealist being
completely unrealistic
402
00:47:19,924 --> 00:47:25,329
trying to find a peaceful
resolution to this?
403
00:47:25,330 --> 00:47:28,565
Do you still wish to find
a peaceful resolution?
404
00:47:28,566 --> 00:47:30,067
Can't I?
405
00:47:30,902 --> 00:47:35,205
Tsushima has Kuju and
the mainland behind it.
406
00:47:35,206 --> 00:47:42,279
That means this could be an all-
out-war between Joseon and Japan.
407
00:47:43,348 --> 00:47:44,948
Are you afraid?
408
00:47:45,717 --> 00:47:47,284
Yes, I am afraid.
409
00:47:48,286 --> 00:47:52,589
How many young men will I have
to call to the treacherous front,
410
00:47:52,590 --> 00:47:58,161
and how many innocent lives will be lost?
411
00:47:59,087 --> 00:48:03,232
That is my fear.
412
00:48:03,233 --> 00:48:06,303
Fear is not for the Kings.
413
00:48:06,304 --> 00:48:09,473
You must find a way to protect as
many of your people as you can.
414
00:48:14,779 --> 00:48:20,150
But I'm rather relieve
to see you in fear.
415
00:48:21,819 --> 00:48:27,824
Because I believe you will use
that fear to find a way
416
00:48:27,825 --> 00:48:32,729
to protect as many of those
innocent lives as possible.
417
00:48:43,608 --> 00:48:46,576
Do you still wish to proceed with
this conquest even if it develop into
418
00:48:46,577 --> 00:48:48,545
an all-out-war with Japan?
419
00:48:48,546 --> 00:48:51,714
What do you wish to say, my King?
420
00:48:52,250 --> 00:48:54,051
Do we have a chance?
421
00:48:54,052 --> 00:49:00,490
Are you still looking for another
reason to oppose this conquest?
422
00:49:01,059 --> 00:49:03,493
I want to find a way to win.
423
00:49:05,897 --> 00:49:08,131
Command this conquest, Father.
424
00:49:08,132 --> 00:49:14,404
I will work with you. We will find a way
to lead our troops to victory together.
425
00:49:31,756 --> 00:49:33,323
Port Dumo, Han River
426
00:49:51,642 --> 00:50:01,752
On this 18th day of May 1419, I hereby
order conquest of Tsushima Island!
427
00:50:53,604 --> 00:50:57,841
Fate of Joseon rests on your shoulders,
428
00:50:57,842 --> 00:51:01,545
so fight without retreat
and conquer the enemy,
429
00:51:01,546 --> 00:51:07,350
and declare the greatness
of Joseon to the world!
430
00:51:44,856 --> 00:51:47,057
Conquest of Tsushima...
431
00:51:47,058 --> 00:51:51,094
On May 18, 1419...
432
00:51:51,863 --> 00:52:00,737
Joseon's first military
expedition had begun.
