What? Yi Soon-shin
refused to attack Pusan?

Is this true? He defied me
despite my heartfelt plea?

Yes, Your Majesty.

I will not forgive him!
How dare he defy the King's order!

Arrest him in at once!
I will punish him for this treason!

No, Your Majesty! I beg you
to withdraw the command.

He has defied a royal command!
Why are you trying to defend him?

He alone has been able to
suppress the enemy with unbroken

series of victorious battles.

Chosun does not have
a future without him!

It appears Yi Soon-shin does not
care about Chosun's future.

Minister of Military...

His Majesty is Chosun.

He puts the safety of his
navy above the King's safety.

That is correct.

Yi Soon-shin's actions make
me wonder

what he is saving
his strength for.

I'm troubled about the
Minister of Military.

He appeared overanxious.

The royal carriage has repeatedly
been forced to retreat, and they

are being threatened by Konishi
Yukinaga in Pyong-yang.

Can you blame him?

But he is the Minister of Military.
He must stay calm and collected.

When anxiety turns to rage,
it covers your eyes and ears.

In my opinion, he's already
blind and deaf.

He accused you of treason for
refusing to attack Pusan right away.

Minister of Military is trusted
and respected in the royal court.

If he questions your loyalty,
so will His Majesty.

And no King will entrust his navy
to a man who is no loyal to him.

There're plenty of competent naval
leaders in the three lower provinces!

Yi Aukki, Won Kyun,
there're plenty of men!

Let us not discuss Won Kyun!

He sank his own fleet and fled
as soon as the war broke out.

How are we to trust this man
with command of the navy?

But you mustn't ignore the
difference between

Kyung-sang and Cholla Province.

If Yi Soon-shin were a navy
leader of Kyung-sang Province,

he couldn't have done
anything different either.

That is a dangerous assumption.

Yi Soon-shin tried very hard to
bring the naval divisions of the

south together long before the
war broke out.

That is correct.

If the two leaders of Kyung-sang
navy had paid heed to Yi's appeals,

we would be fighting
a very different war right now.

We're not talking about the past.
Now is what we're concerned with.

Konishi could attack Uiju
at any moment

if our navy doesn't attack Pusan.

Don't you know that?

Lord Yu, Lord Yoon, why are you
so quiet? Please say something.

Did we advance him
too quickly too high?

Once you have a taste of
power, you always want more...

What do you mean, Lord Yoon?

You know that Yi Soon-shin is not
one to bear such impious thoughts!

No one knows what is
inside a man's heart.

Lord Yoon!

It takes a special breed to dare
defy the King's command.

And it is indeed unforgivable.

High Commander Yi Soon-shin
has defied the royal command.

If I support him and continue
training with his navy, the

royal court will think that
I am defying the King as well.

Then are we to attack
Pusan on our own, sir?

If that is the royal
command, we must.

Do you believe that we can
defeat the enemy alone?

High Commander...

Did you send a messenger to
the Left Cholla Naval Station?

Yes, sir. They know that the
Right Kyung-sang Navy will

have nothing to do with
the Left Cholla Navy.

Then all I have to do now is to
send a letter to the royal court.

A letter that says that we, the
Right Kyung-sang Navy

will attack Pusan and
wipe out the enemy.

High Commander,
who is your enemy?

The Japanese or
High Commander Yi Soon-shin?

I thought I told you before!

Those who falter before the
enemy is my enemy as well.

Then what should we call
you, sir, for trying to push

all of your men into death?

Look, Captain Han!

We have won ten out of ten battles
with High Commander Yi's strategy.

That's enough!

But we have yet to win a single
battle fighting your way, sir.

It should be obvious to a child
that fear is not the reason why

High Commander Yi Soon-shin is
refusing to attack Pusan right now.

But you alone are
ignoring the truth. Why?

That's enough.

Sir!

I don't deny that Yi Soon-shin
has fought well so far.

But this is not the time to
take a defensive position.

We're talking about attacking
the enemy's main camp.

We all know that it takes ten
times the enemy's strength to

defeat them at their base.

I don't intend o have a naval battle.

We will land near Pusan
and attack the base by land.

Once we've recaptured the base,
we will destroy the enemy ships.

If we land, we could be attacked
from the rear.

Don't you know that?

Division will destroy us.
It is time to come together.

If you refuse to lead us,
I will take the fleet

to the Left Cholla Naval Station.

You do not have the authority.

Sir!

You're no longer the
Garrison Captain of Jisepo.

Starting today, you're the
Commander of Pusan Base.

The Commander of Pusan Base, sir?

But Pusan is in the hands of the
enemy. How could you do this?

Your primary goal now is to work
with the Governor of Kyung-sang

to recapture Pusan from
the hands of the enemy.

I thought, if nothing else,

that High Commander Won cared
about his men like his own life.

How could he send one of his men
into the tiger's den

just because
he speaks bitter counsel?

We are at war. It is tiger's
den everywhere you turn.

Captain Han...

Don't be foolish like me.

Counsel is good, but perhaps it
requires tact in order to be effective.

You're the only one among the
officers of the Right Kyung-sang

Navy who can guide the High
Commander into the right direction.

Do you know what I mean?

Let's go.

Garrison Captain of
Jisepo Han Bek-tok...

He served under
High Commander Won Kyun of the

Right Kyung-sang Navy
but it is said he was among

Yi Soon-shin's strongest
supporters.

He rendered distinguished services
in Okpo and Dang-po battles

and was appointed Commander
of Pusan after the Battle of Hansan.

He died of a bullet wound in Mijo
Battle shortly after his appointment.

He was 38 years old.

We are not going to fight.

But sir, the Right Cholla and Right
Kyung-sang navies

are refusing to attend
the training drills.

That's not all.

The High Commander Won sent
a letter to the royal court

requesting the command
of the navy.

If you refuse to fight and High
Commander Won is eager to fight,

who will the royal court choose?

Need some competition, sir?

Do you think you can beat me?

It is amazing how your arrows seem
to know what you're going through.

Whether I win or lose
is entirely up to you.

If you continue to defy the
royal command,

His Majesty will strike
you down.

He will at least take the command
of the alliance fleet from you.

Are you comfortable with letting
someone else have that command?

Captain Chung...

I know High Commander Won
because

he and I are alike to a certain degree.

You run into these
types once in a while...

those who want the world
to evolve around them.

It comes from delusions
about our own capability,

but it's not easy for us to
see that about ourselves.

High Commander Won has been
repeatedly denied of his desires.

If command of the navy should fall
into his hands,

he will stop at nothing
to prove himself...

... including pushing his
men into the tiger's den.

You cannot hand over the
right of command to him.

If you must compromise...
compromise.

Why not fake a battle like
Commander Kim said?

Sir, you are the only leader that
I and the others will recognize.

We want to fight under
your command.

Only you can guarantee us victory

and only you can get us
out of this miserable war.

Don't worry.

I will not hand over
the right of command.

But I won't compromise either.
We don't have that kind of time.

What are you thinking,
High Commander?

Are you thinking what I
think you're thinking?

Aren't we going to compete?
Let's start.

The High Commander's
mind is made up.

That's obvious.

Those pen pushers don't know
a thing about fighting a war.

If they come to arrest the
High Commander,

let's just send them right back
to where they came from.

We'll fight and win this war our
way, and that'll be the end of that.

Now the royal court will
charge all of us with treason.

So you'd give in to this?

Heck, this isn't the
first time we did

something wild and insane
with the High Commander.

Our priority right now should be
creating the conditions in which

we can fight this unavoidable
battle and win.

Are the wood panels
ready for the covering?

Yes, and the metal
plates are ready as well.

Let us get this done
as quickly as we can.

High Commander.

Carry on with your work.

Director, when can we expect

the galleys and speed boats
to be completed?

We will have them seaworthy by
the 15th of this month, sir.

Lt. Na, how is the additional
Turtle Ship coming along?

She will be ready by
the 15th as well, sir.

Let me take a look.
Where did you get this load?

Wow, this dirt tastes perfect!

Dae-man!

Yes?

Didn't you say this dirt was
dug up from near the outhouses?

That's right.

Doesn't it repulse you to taste it?

You don't understand, sir.

You need salty dry soil in
order to make good gunpowder.

And how can you tell whether

it's sweet, sour or salty...
you don't taste it?

Do you want to taste?

Never mind.

Why not? Try some!

Never mind, I said!

Come on, try!

I see you've been able to
gather quite a bit of dry soil.

We've been going from door to door

digging up dirt from every
outhouse in every house the village.

Don't worry about gunpowder, sir.

We'll go door to door and search
all outhouses in the entire country

if we have to, but we won't let our
gunpowder supply run out.

How could you allow
this to happen?

Do you believe Won Kyun or Yi Aukki
can lead our navy like Yi Soon-shin?

That would be difficult.

Then you should've talked my father
out of this at the risk of your life!

Your Highness, I cannot say that
Yi Soon-shin is right this time.

What do you mean?

Only the navy can make the
enemy in Pyong-yang nervous.

We need the navy to put pressure
on them from the south

to stop them from
advancing north.

Do you think Yi Soon-shin
is unaware of this?

Do you believe he is refusing
to do this when he can!

I thought you knew of his loyalty
better than I did. Was I wrong?

Why do you think
he is refusing to...

I thought... I thought the situation
in the south would be different.

After ten consecutive
victories at sea,

I thought the enemy would
have lost will to fight by now.

I thought we could end this war
on our own without foreign aid...

Lord Yu...

Was I unreasonable to think that we
could stop this war on our own?

Must we beg Ming for aid again?

And if we do, what happens
to our autonomy?

If there is no other
option, we must.

It is the once we pay for
neglecting to prepare for this war.

Weren't you the one who said
we must endure all shame and

indignity if it means defeating
the enemy?

I will talk to my father.

Incapacitate Yi Soon-shin
in this critical situation?

We cannot let that happen.

Your Highness...

Did you rush here to save
Yi Soon-shin?

Is he that important?

I do not think he is unimportant.

At the very least, now is
not the time to forsake him.

Given his accomplishments,

one cannot deny that he is
the best in Chosun.

Give him one more chance, Father.

I will not hear it!

Father...

I will not withdraw my order.

One last chance, Father.

You can renounce him
if he defies you again.

Send a high minister to the
south who can persuade him.

One who can persuade him?
You speak of Yu Sung-ryong.

No, Father. It must be someone who

can bring him back in restraints
if he cannot be persuaded.

Who might that be?

It will be a long and
difficult road, Lord Yoon.

I fear Your Highness also has

a difficult road ahead to the
temporary royal court.

I hope that your journey will
deliver Chosun from this peril.

That, Your Highness, will
depend on Yi Soon-shin.

Well, I must be on my way.

Let us go.

Why Yoon Du-su, Your Highness?

He is one of High Commander
Yi Soon-shin's harshest critics.

That is exactly why I chose him.
Sincerity will move the Heavens.

If Yi Soon-shin's loyalty is true,
he will turn Yoon Du-su around.

But if he can't, we can't expect
him to turn my father around either.

King Sonjo has ordered
Yi Soon-shin's capture?

It's reliable information from a
well-acquainted palace attendant.

Yi Soon-shin defied the King's
order to attack Pusan.

Yoon Du-su was send out to
persuade Yi Soon-shin,

but Yi will never bend if he
thinks he is right.

Besides, Yoon Du-su is
Yu Sung-ryong and Yi Soon-shin's

long-time political enemy.

He will try to eliminate Yi
Soon-shin, not persuade him.

Then this may be our chance to
completely destroy the Chosun Navy.

Baron Yim, I want you to
leave for Punsan immediately.

You'll get there before
Yoon Du-su if you travel by sea.

Let my comrades know that we
have the advantage this time.

I will do as you ask, General.

Is this a fact?

Of course, sir.

If Yi Soon-shin is eliminated, Won
Kyun will take command of the navy.

And if Won Kyun attacks our base,
there's only one thing he can do.

He will land and
engage in close combat.

Then we, the Japanese
Navy, will crush them.

Hustle!
Move it!

We're sorry, sir!

What are you doing?
Get up! Quick!

General...

It appears you are not happy about
Yi Soon-shin's impending capture.

I wanted to destroy Yi Soon-shin
with my own hands.

I did not want the King of
Chosun to destroy him.

Fighting Yi Soon-shin would not
be easy even if we fight here at

the headquarters with all
of the advantages.

If King Sonjo suppresses Yi Soon-shin
for us, it is divine providence.

When we destroy his fleet
and the Chosun Navy,

his destruction will be complete.

General Wakizaka,
don't be disheartened.

The Japanese are building
walls around Yonan coast?

Yes, sir. A wall outside Pusan
is already near completion, and

Angolpo and Gaduk are bustling
with construction activities.

They are trying to secure other
harbors around Pusan make the

receiving of supplies
from Japan easier.

Besides, the channel between
Gaduk and Angolpo

that lead to Pusan is very narrow.

They are preparing an artillery
attack from land on either side

in case we advance to Pusan.

More than anything, isn't this a
sign that they are preparing for

an extended occupation?

They have also called back all
of their battle ships from the

surrounding ports to Pusan main
base. What does that signify?

We will avoid all random
conflicts with the Chosun Navy.

We will engage the enemy only here
in Pusan when we have occupied

favorable position prior to action.

Pusan must be protected at all cost.

Pusan is a vital supply route
to the Japanese army.

If we fail to protect it, we will
cause great injury to this war.

The future battles will
require even more vanguards.

If we should attack the heart of
the enemy in Pusan, we must first

disable the cannons installed along
the small islands on our path.

Remain calm and
collected at all times.

Slow down the enemy with caltraps
and joran balls and quickly retreat.

Place a shield squad and assault
squad on each of the speed boats

and protect the unarmed vessel
in an event they should come

under attack of the enemy.

Archers ready!

High Commander...

I noticed how well-trained
and disciplined

your men are, High Commander.

Thank you, Minister Yu.

Why are you putting off action and
keeping these elite men to yourself?

It is no wonder His
Majesty is so upset.

Please inform His Majesty that

we will take action when the
time is right.

And when would that be?

According to the Minister of
Military, you will not take action

until that right time regardless
of His Majesty's safety.

I trust the soldiers and
the people of Chosun.

And I trust you and the ministers
of the royal court as well.

You must take necessary measures
to ensure His Majesty's safety.

That sounds like you are again
refusing to attack Pusan.

If this navy loses its strength,
we will lose command of the sea.

And instead of putting an end to
this war, we will be extending it.

So you insist on defying
the King's order?

If I am to thrust my men into a
battle in which they cannot win,

I cannot obey even if it
were a Heaven's decree.

Are you so afraid of death?

You are a warrior.
How could you be so afraid?

My men and I gave up our lives
the day that this war began.

It is not because I want to live.

It is for the safety of this
country, Minister Yu.

If His Majesty does not
acknowledge you as his warrior,

you cannot fight in this war.

Don't you understand?

I have no intention of leaving
the battlefield until the

Japanese invaders are routed
and this war comes to an end.

Your superior officer stated his
will to defy the King's command.

I'm sure all of you understand
the gravity of his crime.

As of today, this man is
no longer your superior.

He is a criminal of treason.

High Commander Yi spoke of saving
Chosun from this treacherous war.

I do not understand how you could
perceive his words as treasonous.

What?

So, do you intend to join this
man and defy your King as well?

We shall see what happens.

We shall see how much longer
you can fight in this war.

Arrest him!

Call out your entire army if
you have to, but suppress

Yi Soon-shin's navy and arrest
all of his subordinate officers!

Left Minister, please have a seat.

We must think calmly about this
if we are to do the right thing.

There's nothing to think about!

Suppress the Left Cholla Navy
and arrest all of its officers!

Are we to draw our swords
on our own men

when we do not have enough
swords to contend with the enemy?

He started this, not I! He tried
to suppress me with intimidation!

I am here at the King's command.

And by challenging me, he has
challenged the King! Am I wrong?

Minister, Yi Soon-shin is still
the best navy leader we have.

No one can deny that.

Stop defending Yi Soon-shin.

Or I will be forced to consider
your actions willful disobedience!

If you can't come down on
Yi Soon-shin, talk to Yi Aukki.

Tell him to seize
command of the navy.

Yi Aukki is a royal kinsman.

He couldn't possibly defy
the royal command.

How many battles have we fought
against the enemy at sea?

Five battles, sir.

We did not fight the enemy
alone in any of those five battles.

Isn't that right?

High Commander...

Chief Commander and the Left
Minister want me to seize control

of Yi Soon-shin's fleet.

They want me to suppress his
subordinate officers by force

and take the alliance fleet
into the enemy camp.

Do you think I can defeat the
enemy like he has if I led this navy?

I will lose my life if I deny
the royal command.

and I will lose the navy if I obey it.

I am a royal kinsman. Must I obey
even if it means losing the navy?

I will take my men and go to
the Left Cholla Naval Station.

High Commander Yi...

But it is not to seize
Yi Soon-shin's fleet. It is to join it.

High Commander Yi!

I do not have the ability to lead

the alliance fleet as effectively
as Yi Soon-shin can.

Assisting him, encouraging the
subordinates,

and fighting without
retreat when it is time to fight...

that is all I can do.

You mustn't act in haste! You are a
royal kinsman. Have you forgotten?

I did not make this decision as
Yi Soon-shin's comrade of war.

I made this decision as a royal
kinsman for the safety of the

royal house and the country.

Well then...

Minister Yoon...

Perhaps you should return to Uiju.

This is our situation, so perhaps

you could speak to His Majesty
and make him understand.

Yi Soon-shin and Yi Aukki are not
the only naval leaders in the south.

There is one more.

And I'm sure he can easily
disarm Yi Soon-shin and Yi Aukki

and devour their fleets.

Not only that, he will be eager
to obey the royal command.

He will advance to Pusan the moment
he seizes control of the navy.

Minister Yu...

I appreciate you taking the
time to greet me like this.

You must be exhausted
from the long trip.

Let us go inside.
We have much o talk about.

Can I depend on you?

Of course, sir.
I will not let you down.

This is your chance to prove
your loyalty to the King.

Nothing will please His
Majesty more than this.

Well then, I will be waiting for you
at the Left Cholla Naval Station.

This is insane!

Disarm the commanders of the
Left and Right Cholla Navy and

take the right of command?

And we're going straight into battle?

Is the High Commander
in his right minds?

It's the Left Ministers command.

It is a bad command!

And the fate of this navy depends on
whether we obey or defy this order.

We must stop him!

Say something, Magistrate Ki.

We must stop the High Commander!

Do you want to end
up like Captain Han?

Magistrate Ki...

It is our superior officer's
order and the King's command.

What more do you need to hear?

Is there any chance you might change
the direction your sword is drawn?

You will regret it, sir.

It's time to go to battle.

Lt. Yi, this is our chance to turn this
war around and save our King in Uiju.

We must fight even if we fail because
His Majesty's life is in danger.

That is our duty!

But Yi Soon-shin will never
launch his fleet

if he thinks the odds are
against him.

He cares more about his subordinates
and the people than about the King!

But with the King, this country
Chosun will no longer exist!

That is why I am drawing my
sword against him

before I draw my sword
against the enemy.

Do you understand?

Lieutenant, what are
you doing here?

Well, I don't know.
I don't know what I'm doing here...

Stop that now, sir.
Why the deep sigh?

Han-su, why are we here?
What exactly are we doing here?

Do I have to remind you?
We're here to destroy the Japanese!

Those bastards that invaded our
country for no reason

and started killing off our
innocent people!

We're risking our lives on the
battlefield to stop those bastards!

Yes, you're right.

Did something happen today?

Something's definitely wrong.

Lieutenant...

Han-su,
do you trust me?

Will High Commander Won
successfully capture control

of the Left Cholla Navy tonight?

We will find out...

Sir...

Captain Chung.

Something doesn't smell right, sir.

Minister Yoon was at the Right
Kyung-sang Station today.

We must fortify our defense.

I'm sure High Commander Won
was asked to do

what High Commander Yi Aukki
was asked to do.

The soldiers of the Right Kyung-sang
Navy are our comrades of war.

I trust High Commander
Won and his men.

They will not defy the great cause.

Lieutenant, Captain Woo just
left the base for his rounds.

And the High Commander?

He just turned in for the night.

It's time.
Move quickly!

What is the meaning of this?

We intend to take over the command
of the Right Kyung-sang Navy, sir.

What?
