has an urgent matter to report.
Please permit me to see you.

Your Majesty.

It's no use.
Please go back.

Your Majesty.

Your Majesty.

Sir, we need His Majesty's royal decree for

I've already been given
full powers of investigation.

Why are you hesitating?
Quickly carry out the order!

Your Majesty!

Let go of me! Let go of me!

Your Majesty!
Your Majesty!

Let go of me, you scoundrels!

You... you scoundrels!

What are you doing?
Make them confess!

-= Left: Jeong Eon Ji =-
-= (Vice Minister of Personnel, Easterner) =-
-= Right: Jeong Eon Sin =-
-= (Right State Councillor, Easterner) =-

You scoundrels...

Shameless scoundrels!

-= Lee San Hae =-
-= (Left State Councillor, Easterner) =-

The ministers in court who had
deliberated on state affairs with us

have all been arrested.

At this rate, the court will be in a mess.

Jeong Cheol is now taking revenge on us.

-= Ryu Seong Ryong =-
-= (Minister of War, Easterner) =-
My turn will be next.

If they had wanted to implicate you
they would have done so already.

But you didn't have any direct
correspondence with the rebels.

You were mentioned only in one line.
The evidence is very weak.

But, have you seen His Majesty?

I went to see him several times,
but was refused an audience every time.

What exactly is His Majesty
thinking inside?

Do you not think, perhaps...

all these are His Majesty's attempt
at changing the regime through a...

large scale political purge?

You've overstated it, Sir!

No, I didn't.

I feel that this matter is His Majesty's
plan to 'kill with a borrowed sword'.

He's making use of the Westerners
led by Jeong Cheol to cut us down.

He wants to become a real king
in control of everything.

This incident...

may possibly become a far more serious case
than all those things that have happened.

Sir!

If it's like that... now there's only
you and me left, the two of us.

Jeong Cheol. No. His Majesty.
How will he deal with us?

Left State Councillor, Sir.
The violent gale that is raging in court,

it won't come to an end
if I do not come forward.

The national crisis is worsening.

If this endless high treason case continues,

besides political paralysis,
by ignoring the enemies nearby,

the country may face
the crisis of collapse.

I intend to offer my head
to His Majesty,

and ask him to end
this high treason case.

Please, take care of the rest
of the affairs of state.

Deliver this to the
Left State Councillor's residence.

Cheon Ri.

Yes?

You must pass the
military service examination.

It will be useful one day
so don't act rashly.

You have to take care of yourself.

Alright.

Is it over now?

Ryu Seong Ryong is left.

It's now time...
to make a decision, Your Majesty.

Seize him right away and bring him--

Your Majesty.

criminal Ryu Seong Ryong... requests
Your Majesty to pass sentence on me.

Please kill me!

You want me to kill you?

Are you admitting to
conspiring with rebels?

Not to conspiring.

Although your guilty vassal's name
was mentioned in the rebels' letter,

how can I keep others from mentioning
your vassal in their letters?

Then, are you using some
empty words to deceive me!?

I'm not deceiving you.
Would I dare to?

It's not enough that you've
conspired with rebels,

you're now also out to
deceive His Majesty?

Your Majesty.

do you remember former Ministry of
Personnel official Lee Gyeong Jong?

12 years ago, when the rebel
Jeong Yeo Rip's reputation soared,

everyone recommended him
for a key position.

Only Ministry of Personnel official
Lee Gyeong Jong opposed it.

But he was reproached
for being jealous of talent

and was driven out of
the Ministry of Personnel.

And so?

Now that I think of it,

the only person to have seen
through the rebel Jeong Yeo Rip
in advance was Lee Gyeong Jong.

Although it's said to be hard
to fathom a person's mind,

not being able to perceive clearly
in advance the rebel as
Lee Gyeong Jong was able to...

and letting the country face
a tragic situation such as this...

as a vassal, other than death,
how else could I face up to my crime?

Therefore, for the crime of not being able to
discover in advance the rebel Jeong Yeo Rip,

you want to be killed as punishment?

Yes, Your Majesty.

What you mean is,

excluding Lee Gyeong Jong, all the
ministers not only recommended
the rebel Jeong Yeo Rip,

they even associated with him...
everyone in court are like criminals?

Your Majesty. We can't carry on
listening to his nonsense.

Throw him in prison,
and have him confess his crime.

-= (Ministry of Rites, Easterner) =-
Right now, we can't help the
Minister of War enough,

Right now, we can't help the

-= Lee Deok Hyeong =-
-= (Ministry of Rites, Easterner) =-
and you're actually submitting
your resignation?

and you're actually submitting
your resignation?

How can the crime of treason be resolved
with a petition of just one sentence?

Father-in-law, after the Minister of War,
you'll be targeted next.

Probably.

You already know, but you still
want to stand idly by like this?

I'm not standing idly by.
It's because there's no way out,

so I burnt my bridges.

"Burnt your bridges"?

They're bent on killing me,
so how am I supposed to avoid it?

Perhaps if the king feels
that we're still of use...

he will spare us.

What?

The craftsmen, even if they see that
the tree's branches are rotten,

understand that wood's value
and don't throw them away.

What more a scholar
as precious as jade.

This matter will end here.

Your Majesty!

What Ryu Seong Ryong said
is not without grounds.

I had earlier considered Jeong Yeo Rip
to be arrogant in character,

so I didn't grant him an audience.

But the people who recommended
him must be countless.

I cannot declare all of them guilty.

Get up.

Your Majesty.

Stay still.

I want to believe in the
Minister of War's value.

Wise men use talent the same way
that carpenters use wood.

How can I abandon a country's Minister of War...
because of a few rotten branches?

Your Majesty!

Father-in-law.
The Minister of War has been released.

Is that so?

Then, my letter of resignation
has also been rejected?

Yes, it was.

Then this old man is still of use.

It's often said, a person and
a gourd have their uses,

let alone...
a country's Minister of War.

Both in and out of court,
they're full of praise for Your Majesty.

Do you really think so?

-= Royal Noble Consort Gim =-
You should have... deeper thoughts.

When a person is kept close,
he won't be careful.

If kept far away, he'll long for you
and try to come close.

If it's controlled well, it should be
a good form of restraint, right?

The Royal Noble Consort seems to
take an interest in political matters.

That's not a good thing.

I just want to share
Your Majesty's cares and burdens.

Please don't scold me too much.

The king overrates Ryu Seong Ryong.

It's not possible to carve
a piece of rotten wood.

That is not all. Jeong Am Su,
who submitted the appeal,

was promoted instead.

Isn't it to adequately contain our power?

-= Seong Hon (Westerner) =-

-= Seong Hon (Westerner) =-
Ultimately, some thorns in his side
were removed then.

-= Song Ik Pil (Westerner) =-
He wants to weigh the rest of them
against us in the running of state affairs.

If that is how he thinks,
then for our cause,

should we stop here?

Even if we ignore court matters
for the time being,

we can't just do nothing.

As compared to the unpalatable
words of a gentleman,

the king is more easily taken in
by the sweet talk of the petty.

Outside of court, elimination of the
spiritual pillar for the scholars' public voice

will be a huge blow to them.

Su U Dang Choe Yeong Gyeong, at the local level,
claims to be 'Sam Bong Jeong Do Jeon'.

He puts himself up against
the king on everything.

He has great influence over the
Easterners and Confucian scholars.

If we can just eliminate him,
the scholars' public voice will quiet down.

I think that's a really good idea.

-= Choe Yeong Gyeong (Easterner) =-

-= Choe Yeong Gyeong (Easterner) =-
They say, I'm Jeong Yeo Rip's superior,

-= Choe Yeong Gyeong (Easterner) =-
They say, I'm Jeong Yeo Rip's superior,

How can the relation between a minister
and his king be anything but loyal?

I wouldn't even let the thought of
serving two kings come up.

But that group of old foxes set
a trap for me, using "Sam Bong".

Elder, your injustice
will surely be resolved.

I will think of every possible
way and means.

Please keep your resolve.

Seo Ae, you too must be careful.
Don't come forward.

And, everything depends on
how the king feels.

Just as it did with you.

Elder...

In the end, Choe Yeong Gyeong,
because of repeated torture, died in prison.

In 1589, the high treason case,
that started from the rebellion of Jeong Yeo Rip

lasted 3 years. During this time,
Leaders of the Easterners,

including Choe Yeong Gyeong, Lee Bal,
Baek Yu Yang, etc. were implicated.

They were either given the death penalty
or exiled. There were a thousand people.

From then on, the Easterners went into decline.

The Westerners took control
of many departments,

and started to play a
leading role in government.

That is the Wae weapon?

Yes, Your Majesty. It was brought by
the Lord of Tsushima as a gift last time.

-= (Minister of Personnel, Easterner) =-
It's called a matchlock gun.

A matchlock gun...

Associate Commissioner, what do you think?

Before your vassal,
Associate Commissioner Sin Rip,
offers my view,

I would like to see a demonstration of
the matchlock gun one more time.

I would like to see a demonstration of
the matchlock gun one more time.

That's right! All weapons have their
strengths and weaknesses, don't they?

Yes, Your Majesty.

If this were a battlefield,
an arrow in the bull's eye

would have taken the life of the gunman.

The matchlock gun, from loading
the gunpowder to firing, takes a long time.

The one place where life and death is determined
in the blink of an eye is the battlefield.

It can be considered a fatal weakness.

But once the matchlock gun
has been loaded with the bullet,

it can even penetrate the target.
It's frighteningly lethal.

Ultimately, we mustn't take it lightly.

Of course.
But, we mustn't be frightened of it.

To light the matchlock gun and fire it,
a period of time is required.

Before the enemy fires their matchlock guns,
the cavalry led by your vassal

would have chopped off the head of
the enemy general right under their eyes.

Associate Commissioner is so
knowledgeable about the matchlock gun,
what worries would I have?

Because you're here,
I feel assured inside.

Aim! (in Japanese)

Fire! (in Japanese)

Aim!
Fire!

This is really...
What should I do?

They merely worked for me.

Is it not a bit too big of a gift
for establishing diplomatic ties?

Then... those pirates were under
Your Highness' order?

You didn't know?
It seems I shouldn't have said this.

Should I cut off his head?

I'm sorry.

The pirates, send them to Joseon.

We can't have them talk.

Then, I'll cut out their tongues
and gouge out their eyes.

You may leave.

It's chrysanthemum tea
in Joseon porcelain.

Joseon considers this chrysanthemum,

that blooms by overcoming frost,
to be the spirit of the scholars.

It's one of the Four Gracious Plants.

Yes, Your Highness.

They liken people to flowers.

Joseon has elegance.

Although I've said I like Ming,

this porcelain and these chrysanthemums,
I want them by all means.

Your Highness, please don't worry.
Your vassals will clear the way for you.

Did you say "bigyeokjincheonnoe"?

Compared to the actual bomb
that's now being developed,

this has only a tenth of the power.

Let's have a look.

1, 2,

3, 4, 5, 6, 7.

The time of explosion can be adjusted

according to the length of the fuse.

It's different from bombs
that explode immediately.

There should be various uses for it.

That's right, Your Majesty.

Good job.

So, when can I see the
real bigyeokjincheonnoe?

I'm sorry.
It might be another 1-2 years.

I will wait.
You've done a great job to get this far.

Minister of Personnel.

Yes, Your Majesty?

Until the completion of this weapon,

just like now,
let only the three of us know of it.

When your vassal was at the
Ministry of War, it was kept as
a top secret right from the start.

Please don't worry.

After we establish diplomatic ties,

will Joseon just open up a path for us?

Then...

what do you think?

Well...

No matter how they grovel in front of Ming,

-= Kato Kiyomasa =-

We'll just crush them.

It's not possible to achieve it by

What?

Fine then, if brandishing
the sword doesn't work,

then just use the abacus that you've
played with since you were young.

Kato!

Your Highness.

If you give me 10 000 soldiers,
I'll immediately conquer Joseon!

Kato.

I know you're brave.

But compared to Joseon,
you've something more urgent to do.

Who is it? Please tell me.
I'll sweep him away right away!

Your...

wife!

Your Highness.

That person is someone I like so...

Konishi.

Regarding Joseon,
flick your abacus' beads.

For Your Highness,

it's irrelevant whether diplomatic ties are
established or Joseon opens up a path.

Do you not hope that
they'll fight against us?

Why is that?

If Joseon opens up a path,

we don't have to sacrifice any soldiers,

and can easily invade Ming.

Your Highness already
sent pirates last year

to test Joseon's defense.

At that time Joseon collapsed
like a sand castle.

We easily advanced
from Sonjukdo to Heungyang.

Hey! Konishi!

That's Joseon's navy. We still
don't know the strength of their army.

Our army that has been honed
through the past 100 years of battle,

can the Joseon army defend against that?

Our sole concern

was our inexperienced navy.

But, judging from how
Joseon's navy fell apart,

all problems in the way of victory

can be considered solved.

If Joseon let us through,

what is the reason for us
to go to war with them?

In order to attack Ming,

Joseon...

obviously must become our
military supply base, doesn't it?

Correct.

If we don't fight and conquer them,

it can't become our base.

Your Highness.

The ritual to feed the baby
solid food is ready.

Is it?

Tsurumatsu.

Tsurumatsu.

Here.

Tsurumatsu, my boy.
You're chewing rice?

He's chewing the rice!

move his mouth just now?

Tsurumatsu's teeth seem strong.

Aren't they? Aren't they?

Tsurumatsu, my boy.

Your teeth have to be strong
for you to eat well.

It's not just food.

However strong a castle,
or however vast a land,

only with strong teeth,
will you be able to gobble them up.

Your Highness has already
conquered the world.

Is there anything left
for Tsurumatsu to eat?

If there's nothing

for him to eat at home,
he has to eat outside.

Tsurumatsu.

There's lots to eat outside home.

There's Joseon, and also Ming, Lusong,
and all the way to Southern Manchuria.
(Lusong: Luzon, the Philippines)

You

must follow in your father's footsteps

and achieve a great empire.

Yodo, I really thank you.

Haven't you given me the biggest gift?

Not at all.

Your Highness' line should have been
continued by Kita no Mandokoro.

-= Kita no Mandokoro: =-
-= Nene's honorific title =-
I'm really sorry.

Nene has,

compared to anyone,
the most noble of character.

After all, she's not a jealous,
suspicious woman.

Nene,

our boy, Tsurumatsu,

isn't he no different from
your own child?

But of course.

I have committed the crime of not
being able to extend your family line.

How can I not be grateful to
Yodo and Tsurumatsu?

Yodo,

I sincerely thank you.

I'm overwhelmed.

Your Highness.

We pray that Your Highness and
Tsurumatsu enjoy longevity.

Hurray!
Hurray!

Hurray!
Hurray!

Hip hip hurray!
Hip hip hurray!

Yes. Hip hip hurray!

Your Highness.

The entire country's daimyos
have sent gifts for Tsurumatsu.
(daimyos - Japanese feudal lords)

Is that so?

Tsurumatsu, you should be happy.

Let's go with your father
to look at the gifts.

Shimane prefecture sent silk.

Fine.

At 54 years old,

Toyotomi Hideyoshi,
who obtained his first son,

was said to be as happy
as having unified the country.

But,

his son, Tsurumatsu,
was not as he had hoped.

He was very sickly.
Toyotomi Hideyoshi felt uneasy about it.

Later, Tsurumatsu's fate will have a
decisive effect on that of Joseon.

It goes to show how much
Toyotomi Hideyoshi loved his son.

Last of all,

from Shizugatake,
a sword is offered to Tsurumatsu.

If it's Shizugatake...

isn't it the place where I fought
against Katsuie?

It was a fierce battle at that time.

The damage to that place
must have been great.

Is it peaceful now?

Yes, Your Highness.

Especially, having received
Your Highness' favor,

Shizugatake has now,
compared to any other place,

become a place of abundance.

In order to repay your favor,

we present to Tsurumatsu

a small gift.

That's right.

Because I felt sorry
towards to that place,

I took much care of it.

Thank you.

Tsurumatsu, can you hold that sword?

Bring the sword here.

Stop him! Stop him!

Stop him!

Hideyoshi, you bastard!

I'm taking revenge for Lord Katsuie!

Your Highness, please kill me!

Tsurumatsu...
Tsurumatsu...

Because of your father... you too...

have to grow up smelling blood.

Poor...

poor Tsurumatsu.

Konishi.

Yes?

Thoroughly investigate him.

Cut off all four limbs of those involved.

Bring them to me.

You must...

definitely catch them alive.

Yes, Your Highness!

Sir.

The Wae envoy, So Yoshitoshi,
is said to be on his way to Hanyang.
(Hanyang - old name of Seoul)

Really?

The Wae enemy commander
and traitor Sa Hwa Dong?

He brought all of them.

The prisoners have returned to
their hometown from Busanpo.
(Busanpo - old name of Busan)

Look here, Minister of Personnel!

We cannot send envoys!

The traitor, Sa Hwa Dong, and the
Wae enemy commander were sent

in exchange for envoys
being sent this time.

-= Left: Yun Du Su =-
-= Right: Jeong Cheol =-
His Majesty made no such promise.

His Majesty made no such a promise.

But, didn't they send them over
because of the promise?

If we don't send envoys to them,

it will become a case of us ourselves
losing our national dignity.

We can only discuss national dignity
with another party who can discuss it.

If we establish diplomatic ties with them,

how would Ming see us?

In the past...

Left State Councillor and
Minister of Personnel said that
even if Wae fulfills the condition,

you wouldn't oppose my decision, didn't you?

Yes, Your Majesty.

The matter of diplomatic ties
since time immemorial,

once begun, is difficult to change.
Everyone should know this well.

As for me,

whether I'll send envoys...

It won't be decided here but at
the prisoner handover ceremony.

That is correct.

If it can be at the handover ceremony,
it would assuage the people's pain and hatred.

There can be no royal grace
greater than this.

Since the Minister of Personnel is so
enthusiastic about dealing with Wae,

the prisoner handover ceremony
will be prepared by you.

If the Wae pirates' heads roll through that weak
a way, the people will naturally get angry.

Ill feelings towards Wae will deepen.

Only that can answer to
public sentiment.

Envoys will not be sent.
That's what it means.

His Majesty seems to have
already made his decision.

Seriously...

You, I've already said you can't.

What do you want to see the traitor for?

And, it's outside my jurisdiction.

Sir.

Last time, you allowed a visit to
Choe Yeong Gyeong, didn't you?

It's my first and final request.

Sa Hwa Dong is someone who
took care of me when I was little.

He's going to die anyway, so just let me
give him a warm meal and I'll be out.

Please.

Please. I beg you.

You're really...

Who did you say you are?

It's Cheon Ri, Cheon Ri.

When I was little, didn't you
teach me to fish and swim?

Well, I... don't remember.

That's right, that was very long ago.

Forget about it,
hurry and eat some of this.

You really know me?

We don't have this kind of time.

Who, who are you?

You don't remember?

Probably not, right?

But I can't forget you even if I die.

My mother and my younger brother

died tragically at the hands of the
Wae pirates who you brought.

Since then my only wish has been

to see you and after that,

to chew up your flesh
from head to toe.

Stop, boy!

Sir!

This is a national matter.

It's not that I don't know about
your personal hatred,

but there are hundreds and thousands
of people with the same hatred as you.

Don't act rashly.

Sir.

Please! Let me kill him
with my own hands!

-= 3 years ago, Sonjukdo =-
-= (After the 1587 Wae pirate incident) =-

1, 2, 3.

Move back.

When the Wae pirates were
killing innocent people, what were
the government officials doing?

What?

Don't fan the flames. Go back!

By the way, nobleman,

are your ears stuffed with cotton?

I told you to go back.
Is that unreasonable?

Have you revived?

Mother... Mother...

Ch-Cheo-Cheon Sik...

First, let's get you treated.

Over here. Officer! Officer!

Mother.

Mother!

Cheon Sik, Cheon Sik.

Open your eyes. Cheon Sik.

Mother... Mother!

Cheon Sik...
Cheon Sik, open your eyes!

Cheon Sik!
Mother!

Your mother and younger brother wouldn't
want your hands to be stained with blood.

Let's go.
Get up.

Mother!

In 1587, a group of thieves
entered Joseon.

It has nothing to do with our country.

From now on,

the thieves

will never step onto Joseon soil.

Our country

hereby promises not to ever allow
the pirates to come here again.

In 1590,

Japan sent the leaders of the 1587
pirate raid and traitor Sa Hwa Dong,

along with the 116 Joseon prisoners
who had been taken to Japan.

While this was a condition that Joseon got
Japan tangled in, to give fake acquiescence to
their continued requests for envoy relations,

On the other hand, this was a
successful outcome for Joseon in the
matter of Japanese envoys relations.

Your Majesty.

Please let us have your answer
on the sending of envoys.

Kill the Wae pirates!

Kill them! Kill them!

Minister of Personnel.

Do you not hear the cries
of the people?

Hearing these cries of the people,
should it not be repeated again?

I will give my answer.

I...

will not send envoys to Wae,

a country of beasts.

Minister of Personnel, execute
the Wae pirates and the traitor.

Quickly give the order!
What are you doing?

Execute them.

Spare me!

B-b-besides me, there are
more traitors and spies.

I'll tell you everything.

Plea-please, spare me.
Spare me, please spare me!

No tricks from you.

Execute him.

Bigyeokjincheonnoe. Bigyeokjincheonnoe.
Bigyeokjincheonnoe!

What did you just say?
