Original subtitles

Noh division troops are stationed outside Chunghae Base.

Deploy the Kuseo division to Yeowoon Harbor.

Yes, sir.

If you must meet Yum Moon, I will stay with you.

- It's all right. - Consul.

I said this to you when Yum Moon first came to Chunghae.

I forgave Yum Moon and took him in

because I have faith in myself.

While Yum Moon was staying in Chunghae,

I gave him chances and he lived up to my expectations.

He has done much for Chunghae Base.

He still works for Kim Yang,

but I believe Yum Moon is not full of greed like him.

Put your worries to rest and leave us.

Do not let anyone near without orders from me.

How did it go?

He insists on meeting with Yum Moon.

Perhaps we're worrying needlessly.

You should trust Consul Jang now. Don't worry.

Do we have a visitor?

Yum Moon is here from the imperial city.

What is he doing here

when Chunghae Base is practically at war with the imperial city?

We do not know yet. The consul is meeting with him.

We will soon find out.

Yon and the boss are still wary of you.

That's because our evil fate has plagued us for years.

So try to understand.

Here.

We're in Chunghae Base. I can't go any farther.

You must go alone from here.

Thank you.

What's happening?

The captain is meeting with Jang Bogo inside Chunghae Base.

Once Jang Bogo is killed,

Chunghae Base will be thrown into great confusion.

We must seize the opportunity and wipe them out.

Be prepared to attack at any time.

Yes, sir.

- Lieutenant. - Yes, sir.

I will attack Jangdori. You attack Yeowoon Harbor.

Yes, sir. Follow me.

Captain!

What is it?

Government troops have appeared in Jangdori.

I must go see for myself.

How does it feel to have power in your hands?

As the captain of the imperial guards,

you're the closest man to His Majesty,

and you have close ties with Kim Yang,

the most powerful man in the court.

I can imagine how powerful you must be.

Nothing is emptier than power without a goal.

I have neither a dream nor goal.

Even if I should have great power,

it's meaningless.

If you're wearing a suit that doesn't fit,

you should take it off.

You must stop this war with the imperial court.

- Did Kim Yang send you? - I told him I'd go.

I came to stop the war.

I can't turn back know.

If you go to war now, countless people will die.

Now is not the time to go forward.

It is time to take a step back.

Even if I take a step back, Kim Yang won't.

Only defeat awaits if I retreat now.

I will persuade Kim Yang if you make your decision.

Your principles could cause the fall of Chunghae Base,

and put His Majesty in danger.

Do you believe the imperial family and nobles will give up

the privilege they've enjoyed for a thousand years?

You must compromise with Kim Yang.

Tell him you will no longer interfere in politics.

Tell him you will never send men to His Majesty.

You can prosper even more

if you'll only concentrate on the trading at Chunghae Base.

That's enough!

I know.

I also know my decision could bring about the fall

of Chunghae Base and death to countless people.

If the imperial family and nobles do not get their way,

they might try to kill the young king.

But if I compromise with Kim Yang and back down,

we will only fall into a deeper pit.

If I compromise on one thing,

I must compromise on two, no, ten things.

That would be going against my past,

and betraying those who trust and follow me.

You have never rejected a wrong decision.

You merely obeyed the fate you were given,

and made compromises.

In the end,

you would have lost even if you had won.

I'll never back down.

The troops of Chunghae were once slaves

to whom death would have brought greater freedom.

I'm not afraid of death.

If I can't stop this war,

I must kill you.

If I am to march to the imperial city,

I must fight against thousands of swords.

I can't be killed with a dagger.

Withdraw it.

When I march to the imperial city,

and find you still at Kim Yang's side...

You will be my enemy.

Don't be reckless.

You're fighting against Kim Yang,

who commands the imperial army.

You can't defeat 100,000 troops with 10,000 again.

Why would you fight a war you can't win?

Did you say you've lost your dream and your goal?

I believed my dream could be yours.

Leave if that's not true.

Why...

You...

You...

Captain!

My lady!

When we see each other again,

you will be my enemy who killed my father...

...my enemy who drove me to the jaws of death.

You'll be my enemy.

Captain!

Please spare his life.

You will regret not killing me today...

...for the rest of your life!

I will surely...

...drive a dagger through your heart!

If she has come here in such a state,

when she should be in the imperial city,

there must be a reason.

- Alert the consul. - Yes.

She is awake.

My lady.

- Are you awake? - What happened?

Where is the consul?

He is meeting with Yum Moon.

I must go see him now.

Consul, Lady Jung-hwa wishes to see you.

Consul.

Consul!

Consul...

Consul!

Consul.

Consul...

Goong-bok...

Goong-bok.

Goong-bok!

Goong-bok!

Goong-bok!

Goong-bok!

No!

No! Goong-bok!

Goong-bok!

No!

No...

Turn over every stone in Chunghae if you have to.

Find Yum Moon. You must find him!

What's going on?

What's going on?

The consul is...

- Give the attack order. - Yes, sir.

Attack!

What's going on?

Lieutenant Jang.

- My lady. - Step aside.

My lady.

- My lady! - My lady.

My lady.

I am the captain of the imperial guards.

Where are you headed?

We're on our way to attack Chunghae Base

on Lord Kim Yang's command.

Where is he?

Captain.

I'm glad to see you are safe.

Judging from the commotion in Chunghae,

it seems you have killed Jang Bogo.

- Is it true? - What is going on?

What are these troops doing here?

If Jang Bogo is dead, we must take the opportunity

to wipe out Chunghae Base.

But what about the promise you made to me?

I came to Chunghae to stop the war.

To stop the war...

I killed Jang Bogo.

Don't pretend to be so naive. It is very unlike you.

Did you really trust my words?

Withdraw your command to attack.

You will be the most meritorious subject in this war.

You may retire now.

Call your troops...

Call your troops off... now!

I will have to take measures if you insist.

- You may retire. - Captain.

If you wish to attack Chunghae...

you will have to kill me first.

Get out of the way.

I said to get out of the way!

What's keeping you? Capture him!

Please forgive me.

It is a shame to lose you,

but it seems you have outgrown your usefulness.

Commander!

What is it?

The government troops have attacked Chunghae.

They are attacking Jangdori and Yeowoon Harbor now!

- Summon the troops now! - Yes, sir.

We are the only ones now

who could prove that the consul's life wasn't in vain...

We are also the only ones who could avenge his death.

We'll lay down our lives for the consul,

and protect Chunghae Base.

Attack!

Attack!

Attack!

All hell has broken loose...

Do not retreat!

But if I compromise with Kim Yang and back down,

we will only fall into a deeper pit.

If I compromise on one thing,

I must compromise on two, no, ten things.

That would be going against my past,

and betraying those who trust and follow me.

You have never rejected a wrong decision.

You merely obeyed the fate that you were given,

and made compromises.

In the end,

you would have lost even if you had won.

What are you doing in Chunghae?

I ordered you to protect Lady Jung-hwa.

I am here with Lady Jung-hwa.

What are you saying?

When she found out you had gone to Chunghae,

she asked me to bring her here.

I tried to stop her, but I couldn't.

Where is she?

She went to Chunghae headquarters.

- Are you all right? - I'm fine.

The government troops are retreating.

Take Captain Jung to headquarters.

I'm all right. We must chase after them.

Not in your condition. You must tend to your wounds first.

I must take Kim Yang's head to the consul's altar.

- I'll give chase! - Yon!

Take Captain Jung back to headquarters.

After Jang Bogo's death,

the Chunghae troops are determined to fight to the death.

Captain Yum Jang is the only man who can defeat them.

Chief Jang is right.

Bring Yum Jang.

Chief!

- What is it? - The captain has escaped.

- Baek-kyung. - Yes, Head Chief.

Leave.

I am no longer your master.

The government troops and those of Chunghae are

both after me now.

Your life will also be in danger if you stay with me.

Leave.

I will die by your side.

Allow me to serve you.

The Woonje division troops were being deployed

to Chunghae when I was leaving the imperial city.

I hear the Seoktoo division troops are also assembling here.

All government troops in Shilla are assembling in Chunghae.

We're having trouble securing supplies, since we're isolated.

Chunghae fishermen are also taking refuge

from government troops inside the headquarters.

We can't last long with our current provisions.

Chunghae fishermen and merchants are volunteering to fight.

They are ready to die with Chunghae Base.

Even if we are outnumbered,

we can win with our determination.

You must look at the reality. We're at a huge disadvantage.

The land routes are impossible to penetrate.

I will take the waterway to Yangzhou.

We must secure provisions and weapons.

It will be difficult to breach the enemy's blockade.

Your life will be in danger.

Don't worry.

Consul Jang will watch over us.

- Chae-ryung. - Yes.

Why don't you go to Yangzhou with me?

Everyone will fight to the death,

but we could be wiped out.

We must protect the only heir of Consul Jang.

There is no other place but Chunghae for me to live.

I will stay in Chunghae.

According to our spies, every fishermen and merchant

of Chunghae is ready to fight to the death.

Since we have blockaded their supply routes,

their supplies will soon run out.

Chief Jang is right.

Even if they are determined to fight to the death,

they can't last long.

What happened to reinforcements from the imperial city?

The Woonju division troops are stationed in Jangdori.

My lord.

Congratulations!

Why would you congratulate me?

Jang Bogo is dead.

With him gone, the world lies at your feet.

Did you bring supplies?

I have secured provisions and weapons.

Good work.

Once I wipe out Chunghae Base,

I might trust you with their operations.

Keep up the good work.

I will pledge my loyalty to you.

Kim Yang sent a messenger.

Lord Kim Yang sends a letter.

He promised the safety of Chunghae Base if you surrender.

Shut up!

It's a lost war. Surrender.

Please don't kill me.

Head Chief, it is you.

- Please don't kill me. - Where is Kim Yang's tent?

That way.

Assassins!

What's going on?

Assassins have penetrated our camp.

Assassins?

Master!

Master!

Master!

It was Yum Moon.

Are you certain?

He was wearing a mask, but I'm sure it was Yum Moon.

Find him!

Capture him alive. I'll personally slit his throat.

What has you so deep in thought?

It's wild berry wine.

I remembered the wild berry wine you made us at the ranch...

I gave it a try, but I'm not sure how it will taste.

Who knew you had such talent?

It's delicious.

You've had enough. You must pay a price for this wine.

Boss.

Make me a sword too.

You're too mean.

At the ranch you only made a sword for Goong-bok.

You also promised to make me a sword.

Did you forget?

Make me a sword too.

I don't know if I can make a decent sword.

It doesn't matter if it doesn't look like much.

All right.

I promise I will make you a sword.

Fire!

Attack!

Guard the headquarters!

What happened?

Government troops are flooding into the headquarters.

You must escape.

A ship will be ready for you at Yeowoon Harbor.

- Escort them to Yeowoon Harbor. - Yes, sir.

Bring me Jang Bogo's wife and child.

Stand back!

My lady.

My lady!

I will get help. Please be strong.

Madam...

It always broke my heart whenever I saw you...

Please...

take care of the baby...

Madam!

Get her!

Baek-kyung!

Once, on Sahyang Island...

you told me this beautiful sea was a place of pain and sorrow.

Maybe our fate was one of such sorrow,

because of the sad and painful waves

that surged in your heart your entire life.

Now...

I am letting you go...

Go far, far away along this waterway you opened.

I will keep the radiant sunshine,

and the white pebbles and sands of Chunghae that you so loved...

in my heart...

along with the memories of you...

Baby...

Remember this waterway well.

Someday you will come back this way again.
