Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:06,375 --> 00:00:12,874
Small... it's too small...
2
00:00:16,490 --> 00:00:23,368
Japan is so small
compared to Europe.
3
00:00:24,490 --> 00:00:27,031
Don't you agree, Konishi?
4
00:00:27,134 --> 00:00:28,864
Yes!
5
00:00:30,365 --> 00:00:35,322
Are you still calling
yourself a Christian?
6
00:00:38,823 --> 00:00:40,985
Your Eminence!
7
00:00:43,907 --> 00:00:48,474
No, of course not.
8
00:00:52,323 --> 00:00:58,207
Do you know why I
rejected the priests?
9
00:01:00,573 --> 00:01:04,279
There are countless
countries in Europe.
10
00:01:04,612 --> 00:01:13,864
Portugal and Spain where your priests
come from, England, Holland, Russia...
11
00:01:15,032 --> 00:01:19,433
They are at war with
each other as well.
12
00:01:20,612 --> 00:01:24,785
The last one standing will be the
Kampaku (Imperial Regent) of Europe.
13
00:01:26,871 --> 00:01:37,897
Then the will come after Japan,
Chosan, and the vast land of Ming
14
00:01:38,990 --> 00:01:44,094
at which time the priests
will become their guides.
15
00:01:46,962 --> 00:01:51,041
I could not embrace
treacherous men, Konishi.
16
00:01:51,167 --> 00:01:55,161
And we cannot lose
initiative either.
17
00:01:56,240 --> 00:02:00,679
That is why subjugation of
Chosun and Ming is so important.
18
00:02:02,035 --> 00:02:08,481
In order to seize the world, the first
thing we must do is to secure our route
19
00:02:08,482 --> 00:02:13,031
over land. Isn't
that right, Konishi?
20
00:02:13,490 --> 00:02:16,555
Of course, Your Eminence!
21
00:02:16,556 --> 00:02:21,228
Then why hasn't the King of Chosun
come to me with his tribute?
22
00:02:21,342 --> 00:02:25,775
It's been months since
So left for Chosun!
23
00:02:26,532 --> 00:02:28,737
Your Eminence...
24
00:02:29,468 --> 00:02:38,030
Have the King of Chosun kneel before
me and open the path to Ming!
25
00:02:38,489 --> 00:02:45,938
I will question your loyalty
otherwise. Do you understand?
26
00:02:46,897 --> 00:02:48,447
Yes, sir!
27
00:02:51,907 --> 00:02:58,697
About this time in Japan, Hideyoshi was
calling himself "The Man of the World"
28
00:02:58,823 --> 00:03:02,158
openly flaunting his ambition
to conquer the world.
29
00:03:02,315 --> 00:03:05,213
His first goal was to get the King
of Chosun to acknowledge inferiority
30
00:03:05,214 --> 00:03:07,968
and acquire free passage through
the peninsula into China.
31
00:03:08,218 --> 00:03:15,229
Konishi Yukinaga knew that this was
impossible, thus he persistently
32
00:03:15,437 --> 00:03:19,775
requested the reciprocal exchange
of diplomatic envoy from Chosun
33
00:03:19,776 --> 00:03:25,440
hoping that Hideyoshi, unfamiliar with
diplomatic relations, would perceive
34
00:03:25,441 --> 00:03:28,821
the goodwill mission as
a rite of submission.
35
00:03:28,822 --> 00:03:34,005
It was a noble attempt
to avoid a war, however...
36
00:03:34,109 --> 00:03:37,676
How long has it been
since we came to Chosun?
37
00:03:37,801 --> 00:03:41,822
It's been over four months since
we presented them with our musket.
38
00:03:41,952 --> 00:03:44,781
Why won't they respond?
39
00:03:47,032 --> 00:03:52,613
The Imperial Regent thinks that we
are bringing back the King of Chosun.
40
00:03:53,208 --> 00:03:57,406
If we don't take back at least an envoy,
what is to happen to my father-in-law
41
00:03:57,573 --> 00:03:59,477
let alone you and I?
42
00:04:02,492 --> 00:04:09,542
Komshi's envoys So Yoshitoshi, Genzo,
and Dahirano Zoshin were held at arm's
43
00:04:09,543 --> 00:04:17,126
length for months without a reply
from the royal court of Chosun.
44
00:04:19,266 --> 00:04:24,575
Your Majesty, this is a rifle
called a Bird Gun, which, in fact,
45
00:04:24,794 --> 00:04:27,423
is a very powerful weapon.
46
00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:33,212
A bird gun... You say this is powerful?
47
00:04:33,828 --> 00:04:41,986
Yes. It can kill not only
birds but much larger animals.
48
00:04:42,532 --> 00:04:46,239
Can it kill a man as well?
49
00:04:46,907 --> 00:04:50,531
Yes, Your Majesty.
50
00:04:50,728 --> 00:04:58,656
Your Majesty, how could a small
bird gun harm a human being?
51
00:04:58,782 --> 00:05:04,238
I am certain that it can only shoot
down birds as its name suggests.
52
00:05:07,865 --> 00:05:12,646
In Chosun, we have many different kinds
of larger and more powerful cannons.
53
00:05:12,792 --> 00:05:15,156
Yes, Your Majesty.
54
00:05:15,556 --> 00:05:20,992
But Your Majesty, I advise you
to at least test its power.
55
00:05:21,555 --> 00:05:26,447
That won't be necessary.
Why bother?
56
00:05:27,157 --> 00:05:31,447
It is a gift nevertheless. Let it
be preserved at the Royal Armory.
57
00:05:32,032 --> 00:05:36,169
As you wish, Your Majesty.
58
00:05:50,823 --> 00:05:53,371
We can't go back like this.
59
00:05:53,663 --> 00:05:59,921
If we don't bring back an envoy, seppuku
the only thing that awaits us.
60
00:06:01,444 --> 00:06:06,378
It's time to settle
this once and for all.
61
00:06:09,351 --> 00:06:13,656
Which prince is the brightest
in the royal house of Chosun?
62
00:06:19,115 --> 00:06:22,406
Did you say that the
Japanese envoy left this?
63
00:06:22,503 --> 00:06:27,238
Yes, and they requested
a chance to see you.
64
00:06:28,157 --> 00:06:34,979
Silly men! How could a prince have a
social visit with a foreign envoys?
65
00:06:58,115 --> 00:07:01,031
Did they name a meeting place?
66
00:07:01,849 --> 00:07:07,733
The master seeks the sun but
the servant is at a loss,
67
00:07:08,327 --> 00:07:13,479
as once the sun falls
darkness will prevail...
68
00:07:14,334 --> 00:07:22,429
The morning calm will never be again.
How could one mourn not the loss?
69
00:07:27,624 --> 00:07:29,700
Prince Kwang-hae!
70
00:07:29,815 --> 00:07:32,864
Greetings, Minister Yu.
71
00:07:35,728 --> 00:07:41,257
The morning calm refers
to Chosun, does it not?
72
00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:47,954
You must have received the
same letter that I did.
73
00:08:00,365 --> 00:08:05,382
Your Highness, allow me to bid you
greetings. My name is So Yoshitoshi.
74
00:08:05,823 --> 00:08:09,281
My name is Genzo.
75
00:08:09,615 --> 00:08:12,121
State your business.
76
00:08:13,823 --> 00:08:20,269
Your letter suggests this
is not a social call.
77
00:08:40,370 --> 00:08:42,352
This is a musket.
78
00:08:44,595 --> 00:08:47,026
Would you like to test it?
79
00:08:56,351 --> 00:08:59,407
Now pull the trigger.
80
00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:28,010
This is Japan today.
81
00:09:28,417 --> 00:09:32,215
Over two hundred thousand
soldiers are armed with muskets.
82
00:09:32,424 --> 00:09:37,822
We want you, Prince Kwang-hae, and the
Chief Minister to be aware of this.
83
00:09:38,088 --> 00:09:40,156
Why?
84
00:09:40,282 --> 00:09:41,031
Your Highness...
85
00:09:41,157 --> 00:09:45,975
The size of the army, secret weapons,
these are matter of national security.
86
00:09:46,454 --> 00:09:48,614
Why are you revealing
these secrets?
87
00:09:48,740 --> 00:09:51,180
To survive.
88
00:09:51,337 --> 00:09:55,196
If there should be a war, the people of
Tsushima Island located between the two
89
00:09:55,197 --> 00:09:57,595
countries will burn
in the crossfire.
90
00:09:57,794 --> 00:10:03,614
We want to stop a war. Help us.
91
00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:08,572
We are trying to save lives.
92
00:10:23,407 --> 00:10:27,021
I don't know how much of
what they say to believe.
93
00:10:27,323 --> 00:10:31,746
What we do if all is true?
94
00:10:34,563 --> 00:10:40,342
You must advise my father to send
an envoy to Japan as they say.
95
00:10:41,155 --> 00:10:45,849
But His Majesty considers
Japan an uncivilized country.
96
00:10:45,964 --> 00:10:49,438
And he has great antipathy for
the man they call Kampaku.
97
00:10:49,573 --> 00:10:54,614
Then are we to sit around
and wait for them to attack?
98
00:10:54,916 --> 00:10:59,156
Nothing that they have
said has been confirmed.
99
00:10:59,282 --> 00:11:02,239
We should be more prudent
about this, Your Highness.
100
00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:06,531
I know. That's why
we must send an envoy!
101
00:11:06,715 --> 00:11:08,498
To see it once is worth more
than hearing it a hundred times.
102
00:11:08,499 --> 00:11:11,470
Shouldn't we at least
check them out?
103
00:11:12,002 --> 00:11:17,822
It is my failure that His Majesty
will not listen. I'm sorry...
104
00:11:19,857 --> 00:11:25,062
That makes two of us.
105
00:11:25,990 --> 00:11:30,697
I am a so-called Prince of this country,
but there is nothing I can do...
106
00:11:31,615 --> 00:11:43,410
I, too, am powerless to do anything
in fear of upsetting my father.
107
00:12:20,681 --> 00:12:22,614
Lieutenant...
108
00:12:23,657 --> 00:12:25,697
A letter came for you
from the capital city.
109
00:12:31,282 --> 00:12:33,697
It's from Minister Yu.
110
00:12:37,948 --> 00:12:43,327
In 1598, Yi Soon-shin had started his
military career over as a staff officer
111
00:12:43,328 --> 00:12:46,958
to Yi Kwang, Viceroy
of Cholla Province.
112
00:12:47,782 --> 00:12:52,788
About the time Yi's honor was restored
for his meritorious service in Shijun Battle
113
00:12:52,789 --> 00:12:56,864
after enduring the shame of
demotion to a common soldier status,
114
00:12:56,865 --> 00:13:00,206
the royal court was in search of a
military talent willing to forgo
115
00:13:00,207 --> 00:13:03,012
the proper course of ascent.
116
00:13:04,514 --> 00:13:08,123
Aggressive recommendation of the Right
and Left Ministers Chung Un-shin and
117
00:13:08,124 --> 00:13:13,433
Yi San-hae got Yi Soon-shin in the top two
Choices, but fierce resistance of the
118
00:13:13,434 --> 00:13:18,492
opposing party delayed
his appointment.
119
00:13:18,784 --> 00:13:22,089
Finally, at the special request Cholla
Viceroy Yi Kwang, Yi Soon-shin was
120
00:13:22,090 --> 00:13:25,521
reinstated as a staff officer.
121
00:13:27,490 --> 00:13:32,384
Yi was literally starting over from
the bottom from the rank assigned to
122
00:13:32,385 --> 00:13:36,839
those who had just passed
the military service exam.
123
00:13:37,674 --> 00:13:43,072
This was merely three years before
the outbreak of Chosun-Japanese War.
124
00:13:43,698 --> 00:13:45,822
Two hundred thousand?
125
00:13:48,166 --> 00:13:52,349
Two hundred thousand men armed
with convenient firearms...
126
00:13:52,698 --> 00:13:56,406
If what they claim is true, chances
of defeating them are slim even if
127
00:13:56,407 --> 00:13:58,900
we bring the entire Chosun army together.
128
00:13:59,913 --> 00:14:02,176
Do you believe them?
129
00:14:04,742 --> 00:14:07,572
We should first
confirm their claim.
130
00:14:09,113 --> 00:14:11,614
Confirm their claim?
131
00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:15,028
Let us review all materials
and data we have about Japan.
132
00:14:15,029 --> 00:14:18,947
Only then His Majesty will
pay heed to your counsel.
133
00:14:21,323 --> 00:14:25,128
Why don't we start with a map?
134
00:14:52,814 --> 00:14:55,114
Oh no?
135
00:15:09,473 --> 00:15:16,364
Forgive me, Master. I made
you drop your rice...
136
00:15:17,953 --> 00:15:20,040
That's all right.
137
00:15:20,238 --> 00:15:26,031
What you gain and what you lose
the will of the Buddha.
138
00:15:27,407 --> 00:15:32,309
Will the Buddha seek to gain Chosun?
139
00:15:33,789 --> 00:15:40,728
He will not stop there. Everything
under the sky will be his if his
140
00:15:41,907 --> 00:15:47,447
disciples bring their
hearts together.
141
00:15:52,407 --> 00:15:56,540
I'd like to do my part...
142
00:16:31,816 --> 00:16:38,461
I'm sorry, Master.
This is the limit of my talent...
143
00:16:38,774 --> 00:16:46,410
No, the Buddha will be
moved by your devotion.
144
00:17:00,461 --> 00:17:02,182
How did it go?
145
00:17:04,615 --> 00:17:06,418
I trust that no one saw you?
146
00:17:06,533 --> 00:17:08,359
No, sir.
147
00:17:10,740 --> 00:17:13,531
Make sure no one enters the room.
148
00:17:13,657 --> 00:17:15,322
Yes, sir!
149
00:17:54,698 --> 00:17:58,897
It's the Map of Integrated Borders and
Terrain made during the reign of Taejo.
150
00:17:59,554 --> 00:18:05,458
Then this is over two hundred years old.
Is this the only map we have?
151
00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:09,192
They're all about the same.
152
00:18:12,311 --> 00:18:18,098
China is illustrated in relative detail
but you can't even discern the size
153
00:18:18,099 --> 00:18:21,124
of Japan from this map.
154
00:18:21,823 --> 00:18:28,864
If Japan is really this small, they
couldn't even mobilize 20.000 men.
155
00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:33,531
Are there an other data?
156
00:18:34,599 --> 00:18:38,364
The last time we sent an envoy to
Japan was over a hundred years ago.
157
00:18:38,365 --> 00:18:42,392
I'll try to find everything I can, but
I don't know if anything will be useful.
158
00:18:47,483 --> 00:18:50,904
Minister Yu, have you fared well?
159
00:18:51,032 --> 00:18:54,617
Suk-bong, I wish you would have
announced yourself before you came in.
160
00:18:54,948 --> 00:18:59,156
I just got back from a year-long trip
to Ming and I wanted to surprise you.
161
00:18:59,269 --> 00:19:03,379
Besides do we have to fuss
with the formalities?
162
00:19:06,032 --> 00:19:09,690
And I didn't know you had company.
163
00:19:12,464 --> 00:19:14,498
My name is Han Ho.
164
00:19:14,790 --> 00:19:17,031
I am Yi Soon-shin.
165
00:19:18,607 --> 00:19:23,353
How did it go in Ming?
I hope you had no trouble.
166
00:19:24,157 --> 00:19:31,822
I traveled at leisure seeing the sights.
What could go wrongs?
167
00:19:34,180 --> 00:19:38,239
By the way, what did you
hide when I walked in?
168
00:19:38,407 --> 00:19:44,406
A book of prophecy to turn
this world upside down?
169
00:19:55,334 --> 00:20:02,040
What were you two doing
with this ancient artifact?
170
00:20:03,782 --> 00:20:07,902
Don't tell me you were
discussing affairs of the state.
171
00:20:08,236 --> 00:20:15,184
You can't even get a piece
of candy for this junk!
172
00:20:27,210 --> 00:20:33,823
From ancient times, good poetry
have come from deprived stomachs...
173
00:20:36,159 --> 00:20:45,192
One word is worth
fifty rolls of silk...
174
00:20:47,032 --> 00:20:52,807
I asked you to recite one of your poems.
Why do you recite Yuan Hung-tao's poem?
175
00:20:53,569 --> 00:21:02,007
It's as the great poet said. Poetry
comes from hungry stomachs, but I...
176
00:21:04,261 --> 00:21:07,703
There must have a lot
on your mind as well.
177
00:21:07,943 --> 00:21:12,189
I suppose one can be
deprived of many things...
178
00:21:14,211 --> 00:21:18,697
Suk-bong, are you in?
179
00:21:24,532 --> 00:21:27,271
You win, Master.
180
00:21:30,448 --> 00:21:34,947
We had a bet about
when you are coming.
181
00:21:35,657 --> 00:21:41,115
Master Han said you'd be here before
noon, and I said you would never
182
00:21:41,116 --> 00:21:45,954
set aside your official
duties to come here.
183
00:21:49,448 --> 00:21:51,239
Is he here?
184
00:21:51,567 --> 00:21:54,300
He's been waiting for hours.
185
00:22:05,157 --> 00:22:08,601
Is this what you
were looking for?
186
00:22:09,282 --> 00:22:14,933
Merchants with frequent dealings
with Japan drew this map.
187
00:22:19,419 --> 00:22:24,614
Have we met before?
You look familiar.
188
00:22:27,865 --> 00:22:33,407
I have a very ordinary face.
I am often told that.
189
00:22:36,990 --> 00:22:43,140
This is a rare item, and I'd
like to be compensated as such.
190
00:22:44,865 --> 00:22:47,834
How much would suffice?
191
00:22:48,095 --> 00:22:50,150
Money doesn't interest us.
192
00:22:50,410 --> 00:22:54,833
My merchant group would like to
accompany the next diplomatic mission.
193
00:22:58,490 --> 00:23:01,717
A merchant should be a
better judge of character.
194
00:23:01,832 --> 00:23:08,529
Not all politicians are alike.
This man does not sell favors.
195
00:23:09,029 --> 00:23:12,614
I am not trying to buy favors.
This is a business deal.
196
00:23:13,087 --> 00:23:16,717
Listen to this fellow!
197
00:23:20,087 --> 00:23:24,092
Come. I'll compensate you.
198
00:23:36,115 --> 00:23:38,497
There you go!
199
00:23:42,782 --> 00:23:47,217
Lord Chu of Ming
will be very pleased!
200
00:23:47,373 --> 00:23:50,325
Smell the sweet scent of ink!
201
00:23:51,045 --> 00:23:54,906
You mean the sweet scent of money!
202
00:23:59,657 --> 00:24:04,336
I am curious.
203
00:24:04,565 --> 00:24:08,820
You told me to acquire it at any cost,
so I did, and I wondered what I could
204
00:24:08,821 --> 00:24:13,275
get for it but I never imagined
you would give me your calligraphy.
205
00:24:15,532 --> 00:24:19,794
They're worth a fortune and you never
sell them although people line up from
206
00:24:19,795 --> 00:24:22,047
Chosun to Ming for them.
207
00:24:22,740 --> 00:24:27,031
Is that map that important?
208
00:24:28,032 --> 00:24:34,545
I don't know. I just
hope it's not too late...
209
00:24:35,046 --> 00:24:40,262
Lt. Yi Dae-won, deceased, over one
hundred naval officers missing.
210
00:24:41,117 --> 00:24:46,188
If they were pirates, could they cause
this kind of damaged a trained army?
211
00:24:48,865 --> 00:24:51,197
Sir, I heard you
were looking for me.
212
00:24:51,198 --> 00:24:54,031
Record show that you are
from Nok-do. Is that a fact?
213
00:24:54,032 --> 00:24:55,281
Yes, sir.
214
00:24:55,379 --> 00:24:59,114
Then did you witness the Japanese
pirates that attacked in 1587?
215
00:24:59,115 --> 00:25:02,572
Of course I did.
They were vicious men.
216
00:25:03,073 --> 00:25:06,656
Can you tell me about them?
What were they wearing?
217
00:25:06,990 --> 00:25:11,495
Were they wearing uniforms, or
were they in different clothes?
218
00:25:11,683 --> 00:25:16,219
They were like a bunch of dolls lined
up wearing the same exact clothes and
219
00:25:16,220 --> 00:25:18,828
peaked hats.
220
00:25:19,110 --> 00:25:21,468
Soldier's uniforms...?
221
00:25:21,749 --> 00:25:27,781
How about their weapons? Did they have
anything other than swords and spears?
222
00:25:27,782 --> 00:25:30,522
I didn't notice in the chaos.
223
00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:35,050
But every time they went
by there were loud noises.
224
00:25:35,051 --> 00:25:38,587
I took my wife and kids and hid in the
hills, but we heard a bunch of loud
225
00:25:38,588 --> 00:25:41,289
bangs like popping
beans or something.
226
00:25:42,207 --> 00:25:45,366
Were they already using muskets?
227
00:25:52,740 --> 00:25:57,904
Over twenty war vessels as large
as our flat-roof crafts...
228
00:25:58,073 --> 00:26:04,072
They disabled our navy in an instant
and took four of our war vessels.
229
00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:08,440
As for the missing soldiers,
their fate remains unknown...
230
00:26:08,441 --> 00:26:13,019
They are not pirates...
231
00:26:22,104 --> 00:26:27,173
You want to patrol Nok-do,
Heung-yang and Karipo area this time?
232
00:26:27,465 --> 00:26:29,300
With your permission, sir.
233
00:26:29,301 --> 00:26:31,522
No, permission is denied.
234
00:26:31,740 --> 00:26:33,703
Sir!
235
00:26:35,215 --> 00:26:38,897
You're no longer an
officer of Cholla Province.
236
00:26:39,033 --> 00:26:42,767
You've been appointed a royal
bodyguard and messenger as of today.
237
00:26:43,758 --> 00:26:47,106
Congratulations!
238
00:26:55,440 --> 00:26:59,342
High treason?
High treason, you say?
239
00:26:59,907 --> 00:27:03,900
Chung Yuh-rip is to take up arms
from the east and west and march
240
00:27:04,015 --> 00:27:08,532
to the palace once
the Han River freezes?
241
00:27:09,085 --> 00:27:15,072
He is to encroach upon the palace,
slay me, and seize my throne?
242
00:27:15,479 --> 00:27:17,781
Your Majesty...
243
00:27:18,213 --> 00:27:24,989
Call in the high ministers! I will
interrogate the conspirators personally!
244
00:28:13,831 --> 00:28:21,164
Did you conspire with Chung Yuh-rip
and plot high treason against me?
245
00:28:31,867 --> 00:28:35,340
Did you plot high treason?
246
00:28:36,154 --> 00:28:39,106
What is high treason?
247
00:28:39,231 --> 00:28:44,196
How can we answer when
we don't know what it is?
248
00:28:44,811 --> 00:28:48,765
How dare you play this game!
249
00:28:49,025 --> 00:28:56,765
It's true.
We don't know anything!
250
00:28:58,382 --> 00:29:03,379
Then why were you arrested?
251
00:29:03,493 --> 00:29:07,114
What do won mean arrested?
252
00:29:07,282 --> 00:29:15,384
The officials told us to go to Seoul
and say that we betrayed the country.
253
00:29:15,582 --> 00:29:17,197
Betray the country?
254
00:29:17,721 --> 00:29:24,197
Yes. They said we'd
be paid good money...
255
00:29:24,958 --> 00:29:28,359
And that we'd meet
the King as well...
256
00:29:31,885 --> 00:29:36,364
What is your occupation?
257
00:29:37,038 --> 00:29:40,887
We rely on alms and
live on the streets.
258
00:29:41,116 --> 00:29:47,906
How dare you fabricate this lie!
259
00:29:48,157 --> 00:29:54,666
Your Majesty, we must get the truth out
of them even they die in the process.
260
00:29:54,865 --> 00:29:56,781
Never mind.
261
00:29:57,129 --> 00:30:03,784
Good men may be few, but Chung Yuh-rip
wouldn't round up the homeless to
262
00:30:03,785 --> 00:30:06,204
overthrow the King.
263
00:30:18,899 --> 00:30:24,396
Your Majesty, Chung Yuh-rip is merely
a scholar who likes to read books.
264
00:30:24,511 --> 00:30:26,795
He is not one to plot treason.
265
00:30:26,900 --> 00:30:28,913
I agree, Your Majesty.
266
00:30:29,111 --> 00:30:33,116
The real perpetrators are those who
made false reports accusing innocent
267
00:30:33,117 --> 00:30:42,120
men and causing Your Majesty distress.
They must be arrested and punished.
268
00:30:43,079 --> 00:30:44,644
Very well.
269
00:30:44,811 --> 00:30:49,598
I am appointing you as prosecutors
to attend to this matter.
270
00:30:49,859 --> 00:30:53,510
Your grace is immeasurable,
Your Majesty.
271
00:31:23,157 --> 00:31:27,455
Imperial Attendant, have you
ever tried to catch a butterfly?
272
00:31:28,530 --> 00:31:33,297
I often did when
I was a young boy.
273
00:31:34,090 --> 00:31:40,776
They would always slip through my
fingers and get me frustrated.
274
00:31:42,028 --> 00:31:46,639
But there was one time when
I had actually caught one.
275
00:31:49,278 --> 00:31:52,314
But I regretted it immediately.
276
00:31:52,657 --> 00:31:55,631
I must've been too rough.
277
00:31:56,622 --> 00:32:02,484
It fluttered a few times
and died in my hands.
278
00:32:06,345 --> 00:32:10,739
Perhaps the throne is
like that butterfly.
279
00:32:11,404 --> 00:32:16,954
As a prince not from the direct line
of descent the throne was like a
280
00:32:17,537 --> 00:32:20,615
butterfly that I could not catch.
281
00:32:23,244 --> 00:32:26,239
I wanted to be a good King.
282
00:32:26,561 --> 00:32:29,367
There were so many things I wanted to
change and so many things I wanted to
283
00:32:29,472 --> 00:32:31,923
achieve...
284
00:32:34,572 --> 00:32:42,864
Your Majesty, you are a benevolent
King unique in history.
285
00:32:43,313 --> 00:32:50,291
Do not doubt it, as both the
heaven and earth know it.
286
00:32:52,388 --> 00:32:58,458
Do my subjects, do my people
hold me in same regard?
287
00:33:01,963 --> 00:33:06,907
It may have come from inferior men,
but the words "high treason" cannot
288
00:33:06,908 --> 00:33:09,989
be ignored by the King.
289
00:33:10,402 --> 00:33:14,523
Do they still think that I don't
belong on the throne because I am
290
00:33:15,336 --> 00:33:19,864
not from the proper
line of descent?
291
00:33:20,292 --> 00:33:22,461
Your Majesty...
292
00:33:23,682 --> 00:33:29,346
Like the butterfly that wouldn't
have died had I not caught it,
293
00:33:30,609 --> 00:33:41,269
had I not risen to the throne.
I would not be afraid of losing it...
294
00:34:13,355 --> 00:34:16,088
You're not at the inquisition.
295
00:34:16,755 --> 00:34:19,447
There is realty no
one to interrogate.
296
00:34:19,615 --> 00:34:23,906
This matter will be settled once
Daebo arrives and explains himself.
297
00:34:27,477 --> 00:34:32,447
Minister Yu, why do
you look so concerned?
298
00:34:32,943 --> 00:34:35,404
It's nothing...
299
00:34:38,544 --> 00:34:45,189
I am just worried because mere
allegation of high treason can
300
00:34:45,408 --> 00:34:51,803
cause unforeseeable ripple effect.
Take Master Cho Kwang-jo for example.
301
00:34:53,013 --> 00:34:56,447
If Chung Yuh-rip really did plot an
overthrow, who would stand to gain
302
00:34:56,573 --> 00:34:59,752
the most right now?
303
00:35:00,201 --> 00:35:02,947
You think too much.
304
00:35:03,204 --> 00:35:06,615
How can you compare Chung
Yuh-rip to Master Cho Kwang-jo?
305
00:35:06,866 --> 00:35:14,709
He was an influential figure,
and he had many enemies.
306
00:35:14,917 --> 00:35:21,207
Chung Yuh-rip on the other hand,
now spends his days buried in books
307
00:35:21,208 --> 00:35:23,565
in the countryside.
308
00:35:23,669 --> 00:35:26,621
Don't be overly concerned.
309
00:35:33,307 --> 00:35:41,099
How could you be so nonchalant
when treachery is rampant?
310
00:35:44,103 --> 00:35:46,785
They dispatched a marshal.
311
00:35:47,442 --> 00:35:52,906
Are you a fool? What good
dispatching a marshal?
312
00:35:53,407 --> 00:35:57,906
They'll make a few arrests, torture
them a little and cover it up!
313
00:35:58,300 --> 00:36:04,110
From the magistrate to the
marshal they are all Easterners!
314
00:36:04,611 --> 00:36:10,588
Chung Yuh-rip is an Easterner.
Not just an Easterner, but a
315
00:36:10,589 --> 00:36:19,697
convert who betrayed his master,
Yul Gok, and got on a different boat.
316
00:36:19,924 --> 00:36:28,114
If he can betray his master, who
to say he can't betray his king?
317
00:36:28,259 --> 00:36:33,693
And those who defend the
treacherous are treacherous as well,
318
00:36:33,694 --> 00:36:38,003
but His Majesty
does not see this!
319
00:36:38,118 --> 00:36:45,364
Then we must make him see.
Isn't that our duty as his subject?
320
00:36:46,629 --> 00:36:49,800
Don't you agree?
321
00:37:00,993 --> 00:37:05,187
The Royal House Adviser Chung Chul
requests a private meeting?
322
00:37:06,136 --> 00:37:10,391
Your Majesty, you must arrest
treacherous conspirator Chung Yuh-rip
323
00:37:10,392 --> 00:37:12,322
and punish him for his crimes.
324
00:37:12,645 --> 00:37:15,086
A marshal has been dispatched.
325
00:37:15,211 --> 00:37:18,914
Chung Yuh-rip will
not come peacefully.
326
00:37:19,790 --> 00:37:27,414
He is a man who openly talks about
bringing down the Yi Dynasty and
327
00:37:27,415 --> 00:37:30,649
replacing it with a Chung Dynasty.
328
00:37:31,129 --> 00:37:34,686
Moreover he has a
strong army behind him.
329
00:37:34,916 --> 00:37:38,336
He is neither a general nor a King.
What purpose could an army possibly
330
00:37:38,337 --> 00:37:41,853
serve for him?
331
00:37:44,023 --> 00:37:49,051
His army may be marching
to the capital as we speak.
332
00:37:50,700 --> 00:38:00,975
I beseech you to secure the city
and send an army to arrest him.
333
00:38:20,772 --> 00:38:28,502
I wanted to change the world,
but it seems it is not my time...
334
00:38:36,865 --> 00:38:41,239
Your Majesty! Your Majesty!
335
00:38:41,520 --> 00:38:45,735
Your Majesty, criminal of high treason
Chung Yuh-rip has taken his own life!
336
00:38:45,975 --> 00:38:48,114
What?!
337
00:38:48,282 --> 00:38:53,015
He slipped through the cracks and fled
to Juk-do, but when he found himself
338
00:38:53,016 --> 00:38:57,553
surrounded, he struck Byun Seung-bok
and his son who were with him and
339
00:38:57,554 --> 00:39:00,286
took the sword to himself.
340
00:39:00,777 --> 00:39:06,753
Your Majesty, his suicide is
tantamount to admission of guilt.
341
00:39:06,847 --> 00:39:10,864
You must find his conspirators
and eradicate the source of evil.
342
00:39:11,333 --> 00:39:16,489
Only then no one will dare attempt
to steal your throne again.
343
00:39:19,886 --> 00:39:25,031
Find and arrest every single one
of Chung Yuh-rip's conspirators!
344
00:39:40,081 --> 00:39:43,293
Things have taken an
unexpected turn...
345
00:39:43,429 --> 00:39:46,371
His Majesty is furious.
346
00:39:46,548 --> 00:39:52,614
I hope innocent members of the Great
East Brotherhood are not harmed...
347
00:39:53,359 --> 00:39:59,281
It is bewildering...
Why would Daebo kill himself?
348
00:40:01,573 --> 00:40:07,096
In any case, I better go out to
the inquisition and wrap up the
349
00:40:07,097 --> 00:40:10,612
interrogation.
350
00:40:19,032 --> 00:40:26,216
Quickly! Quickly!
351
00:40:26,477 --> 00:40:30,739
I must interrogate the
conspirators! Quickly!
352
00:40:32,142 --> 00:40:34,332
Right Minister!
353
00:40:37,471 --> 00:40:40,403
I am the prosecutor now.
354
00:40:40,528 --> 00:40:42,938
What do you mean?
355
00:40:43,115 --> 00:40:48,322
How could we let you investigate
a crime that you are involved in?
356
00:40:48,748 --> 00:40:52,347
Me? What in heaven's name...
357
00:40:52,513 --> 00:40:54,572
What are you waiting for?
358
00:40:54,892 --> 00:40:59,572
He conspired with Chung Yuh-rip
to overthrow the King! Arrest him!
359
00:40:59,573 --> 00:41:01,610
Yes, sir!
360
00:41:02,591 --> 00:41:06,555
What is the meaning of this!
Let go of me immediately?
361
00:41:06,648 --> 00:41:09,861
Take him away! Now!
362
00:41:24,944 --> 00:41:29,983
Law enforcement is not part of
your duty as Royal Bodyguards,
363
00:41:29,984 --> 00:41:34,583
but we are short handed. Being that
this is a case of high treason.
364
00:41:34,584 --> 00:41:38,275
It is not completely unrelated
with His Majesty's safety.
365
00:41:38,276 --> 00:41:41,790
Now let's get moving.
366
00:41:45,169 --> 00:41:46,775
Who might you be?
367
00:41:46,963 --> 00:41:50,686
I am a newly appointed member of
the Royal Bodyguards Yi Soon-shin.
368
00:41:50,687 --> 00:41:53,596
Is that so?
Follow me.
369
00:42:02,723 --> 00:42:08,114
1589 A.D., 22nd year of Sonjo's reign.
Chung Yuh-rip's attempted overthrow
370
00:42:08,115 --> 00:42:14,322
took an unexpected turn of events with
Chung's suicide after a tip-off from
371
00:42:14,323 --> 00:42:17,697
Viceroy of Hwang-hae
and Magistrate of Anak.
372
00:42:18,026 --> 00:42:25,745
Easterners who defended Chung, the
members of Chung's Great East League,
373
00:42:28,436 --> 00:42:33,484
and anyone who had any correspondence
with Chung or his associates were
374
00:42:33,485 --> 00:42:39,864
accused of high treason in a massive
purging unprecedented in history of
375
00:42:39,962 --> 00:42:45,334
Chosun which would come to be
known as The Trials of 1589.
376
00:42:59,332 --> 00:43:02,962
Will we be able to return home
before the end of the year?
377
00:43:06,363 --> 00:43:09,043
This is truly frustrating...
378
00:43:10,243 --> 00:43:15,636
What are the King and
his ministers thinking?
379
00:43:17,096 --> 00:43:22,739
We have given them clear warnings,
but instead of strengthening their
380
00:43:23,125 --> 00:43:26,406
borders, they are only concerned
about destroying political enemies.
381
00:43:26,785 --> 00:43:31,197
I think Minister of Rites Yu Sung-ryong
is on the list to be purge as well.
382
00:43:31,605 --> 00:43:35,214
It seems the Heaven
has forsaken Chosun.
383
00:43:35,453 --> 00:43:41,074
Then why don't take back Akai's map to
the Kampaku and advise him to conquer
384
00:43:41,075 --> 00:43:44,903
Chosun?
385
00:43:51,756 --> 00:43:55,322
I think I should resign.
386
00:43:55,564 --> 00:44:00,007
Submission may be the
best thing for now.
387
00:44:00,185 --> 00:44:02,239
Minister Yi...
388
00:44:02,542 --> 00:44:08,656
Yoon Du-su and Chung Chul
are determined to crush us.
389
00:44:08,906 --> 00:44:11,200
We've done nothing wrong.
390
00:44:11,201 --> 00:44:15,072
Why should we have to lower
ourselves and tiptoe around them?
391
00:44:15,240 --> 00:44:20,156
Right Minister Chung Un-shin didn't
do anything wrong, and look what
392
00:44:20,157 --> 00:44:24,179
happened to him. The truth
isn't important right now.
393
00:44:24,931 --> 00:44:29,541
The Westerners are out to make all
of us criminals of high treason,
394
00:44:29,542 --> 00:44:36,031
and His Majesty believes them.
395
00:44:43,227 --> 00:44:49,674
The world is not that simple.
And truth does not always prevail.
396
00:44:50,164 --> 00:44:55,224
What exactly are you
afraid of anyway?
397
00:44:55,610 --> 00:45:00,304
Have you forgotten about the
Battle of Shijun already?
398
00:45:02,181 --> 00:45:07,459
The only reason why we were able to
get help from the central army was
399
00:45:07,460 --> 00:45:10,781
because of strong Easterner support
for Minister Chung Un-shin.
400
00:45:10,907 --> 00:45:15,697
It was a result of crushing Minister
Yoon Du-su and the Westerners who
401
00:45:15,782 --> 00:45:18,777
opposed the deployment of troops!
402
00:45:18,954 --> 00:45:20,906
Chief Commander!
403
00:45:21,270 --> 00:45:25,406
They could call all of us
Easterners if they wanted to.
404
00:45:25,573 --> 00:45:30,364
And they will put
us on trial as well.
405
00:45:33,318 --> 00:45:37,656
I know that you are
related to Minister Yoon.
406
00:45:38,023 --> 00:45:46,138
Arranges meeting for me, so I could
explain to him about Shijun Battle.
407
00:45:46,555 --> 00:45:51,541
Explain?
Explain what?
408
00:45:52,667 --> 00:45:56,447
We risked our lives and the
lives of our men on that battle,
409
00:45:57,507 --> 00:46:00,470
and emerged victorious and proud.
410
00:46:01,617 --> 00:46:04,205
You are too naive.
411
00:46:04,351 --> 00:46:09,692
Are all battles fought on a battlefield?
This, my friend, is a violent war.
412
00:46:10,068 --> 00:46:13,895
You can't compare them
to the barbarians.
413
00:46:14,208 --> 00:46:17,191
If they provoke a fight, fight them.
414
00:46:17,369 --> 00:46:21,281
They are nothing but
power hungry bureaucrats.
415
00:46:21,781 --> 00:46:29,324
If they insist on fighting, grab them
and throw them to the barbarians!
416
00:46:29,679 --> 00:46:32,406
That will teach them!
417
00:46:54,823 --> 00:46:56,789
Sir...
418
00:46:58,010 --> 00:47:00,072
I don't want to see it.
419
00:47:00,440 --> 00:47:04,156
I don't want to see the North
Base Commander's cowardice.
420
00:47:04,549 --> 00:47:09,953
He is the highest military
leader in the north.
421
00:47:11,497 --> 00:47:16,322
Why would he stoop to
to those inferior men?
422
00:47:17,860 --> 00:47:25,799
Lt. Woo, a warrior must
not stoop to anyone.
423
00:47:26,323 --> 00:47:34,562
A warrior submits only to the commands
of his King and his superior officers,
424
00:47:35,407 --> 00:47:37,567
Is that understood?
425
00:47:37,796 --> 00:47:39,653
Yes, sir...
426
00:47:44,024 --> 00:47:45,849
Is the information trustworthy?
427
00:47:46,006 --> 00:47:49,156
He's been to Japan dozens
of times, I am told.
428
00:47:49,271 --> 00:47:53,735
Then everything that the
envoy said could be true.
429
00:47:55,115 --> 00:47:58,239
I think the Japanese that attacked
the southern coast in 1587 used
430
00:47:58,325 --> 00:48:00,891
muskets as well.
431
00:48:01,141 --> 00:48:07,044
If they have such a large army, we
may not be able to stop them even if
432
00:48:07,045 --> 00:48:11,468
we pull all of our resources together.
433
00:48:12,814 --> 00:48:16,047
Isn't there a way to warn the King?
434
00:48:17,184 --> 00:48:21,364
His Majesty is fixated on the trials.
435
00:48:21,785 --> 00:48:25,613
It's not unreasonable since the
throne may have been threatened.
436
00:48:25,864 --> 00:48:28,822
But how could he believe that
the Right Minister was involved?
437
00:48:28,823 --> 00:48:30,629
It is completely absurd.
438
00:48:30,796 --> 00:48:33,518
But what can we do?
This is what we must deal with.
439
00:48:33,706 --> 00:48:35,595
Minister...
440
00:48:36,544 --> 00:48:41,758
He could indeed lose his throne if he
fails to stop the thieves that are
441
00:48:41,759 --> 00:48:45,367
after the country chasing the
thieves that are after the throne.
442
00:48:45,368 --> 00:48:47,840
Can't he see that?
443
00:48:56,718 --> 00:49:00,024
Nothing is clearly visible.
444
00:49:00,233 --> 00:49:04,531
So I cannot tell what is
real and what is imagined.
445
00:49:04,906 --> 00:49:09,265
I have been lost in the woods when
we were up against the Jurchen tribes
446
00:49:09,266 --> 00:49:13,572
at Tuman River. So have my men
and so have my superiors at times.
447
00:49:14,001 --> 00:49:17,489
Then could there have been a time
when we our spears were thrown at
448
00:49:17,490 --> 00:49:20,198
each other with the
enemy right before us?
449
00:49:31,057 --> 00:49:35,197
The entire country is
in an extreme confusion.
450
00:49:35,553 --> 00:49:41,364
There may be an enemy of unimaginable
strength across the ocean.
451
00:49:41,654 --> 00:49:46,744
But where are my King and his
soldiers aiming their spears?
452
00:49:47,130 --> 00:49:50,395
Are all of us lost?
453
00:50:06,699 --> 00:50:09,515
There is a conspirator of treason...
454
00:50:13,939 --> 00:50:18,632
And there are those who
are trying to protect him.
455
00:50:18,747 --> 00:50:20,854
Your Majesty...
456
00:50:24,422 --> 00:50:30,075
What were Chung Yuh-rip
and his accomplices after?
457
00:50:30,711 --> 00:50:33,684
Where they truly
after my throne?
458
00:50:39,181 --> 00:50:42,822
And there are those using this
opportunity to strengthen their
459
00:50:42,823 --> 00:50:44,802
party's influence.
460
00:50:48,015 --> 00:50:51,655
Then who are they?
461
00:50:52,229 --> 00:50:58,968
Who is my true servant among them?
462
00:51:04,955 --> 00:51:09,614
Exhume Chung Yuh-rip's body
and hack him into pieces!
463
00:51:09,868 --> 00:51:13,728
Assemble officials of all ranks and
have them witness the hacking from
464
00:51:13,729 --> 00:51:15,136
beginning to the end!
465
00:51:15,335 --> 00:51:20,322
Send the severed limbs to
each province in the country!
466
00:51:20,467 --> 00:51:27,031
Show every man, woman and child of
this country what happens to those
467
00:51:27,198 --> 00:51:31,013
who betray the King!
