Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:46,737 --> 00:00:53,636
I cannot send a single man from this
base to the testing facility in Junju.
2
00:00:54,805 --> 00:00:58,278
Admiral, are you sure about this?
3
00:00:59,447 --> 00:01:03,244
What is your motive, Admiral?
4
00:01:04,276 --> 00:01:07,736
You got away with defying the
King and the Emperor's order,
5
00:01:07,737 --> 00:01:12,800
so defying the Crown Prince's
order is not a big deal. Is that it?
6
00:01:13,769 --> 00:01:18,653
Sir, we desperately need
officers to command our ships.
7
00:01:18,807 --> 00:01:20,194
I am well aware of that.
8
00:01:20,371 --> 00:01:24,319
But I cannot send a single
man from this base
9
00:01:24,429 --> 00:01:28,194
to the testing facility in Junju.
10
00:01:28,445 --> 00:01:30,028
Admiral!
11
00:01:30,177 --> 00:01:31,944
We are at war.
12
00:01:31,945 --> 00:01:36,978
We cannot allow our men to leave
the front and go to Junju when
13
00:01:36,979 --> 00:01:40,620
the enemy is right before us.
14
00:01:42,456 --> 00:01:44,736
You have a point.
15
00:01:45,459 --> 00:01:48,431
We could recruit the
officers we need
16
00:01:48,432 --> 00:01:51,403
from among those who
pass the exam.
17
00:01:51,572 --> 00:01:55,319
I will not accept them
as officers of this navy.
18
00:01:56,173 --> 00:01:57,486
Admiral!
19
00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:01,430
You won't accept new men
from outside
20
00:02:02,578 --> 00:02:05,694
and you won't let your
men take the exams.
21
00:02:05,811 --> 00:02:11,257
Then how do you intend
to fill those positions?
22
00:02:11,851 --> 00:02:17,839
I will hold an exam exclusively for
the navy here at the headquarters.
23
00:02:18,955 --> 00:02:20,194
Admiral!
24
00:02:20,655 --> 00:02:24,153
It is my opinion that we cannot
select competent naval officers
25
00:02:24,348 --> 00:02:28,937
through the current
examination process.
26
00:02:29,657 --> 00:02:33,235
Firstly, the exam subjects
require complete revision.
27
00:02:33,485 --> 00:02:38,263
And those with exceptional
talent should be appointed
28
00:02:38,357 --> 00:02:42,019
regardless of social caste.
29
00:02:43,292 --> 00:02:49,352
Ignoring the laws and the
customs of the land again?
30
00:02:49,988 --> 00:02:53,192
It is to revise a policy
that need revision.
31
00:02:55,257 --> 00:03:01,644
What is your motive for taking one
reckless action after another?
32
00:03:03,498 --> 00:03:05,727
Sit back down.
33
00:03:06,094 --> 00:03:09,807
The military service examination
system has been in effect for
34
00:03:10,130 --> 00:03:14,935
200 years since the
founding of Chosun.
35
00:03:15,064 --> 00:03:18,236
This is how this country has been
selecting military officers
36
00:03:18,237 --> 00:03:19,446
and it has worked fine.
37
00:03:19,447 --> 00:03:25,455
And now you want to change
the whole system?
38
00:03:26,811 --> 00:03:29,491
Let us discuss this calmly.
39
00:03:29,492 --> 00:03:31,577
What is your ulterior motive?
40
00:03:32,036 --> 00:03:37,519
An exam exclusively for the navy?
Ignore the social caste?
41
00:03:38,565 --> 00:03:44,352
What are you really after
with this dandy idea?
42
00:03:45,377 --> 00:03:48,277
You're trying to fill this
navy with officers
43
00:03:48,278 --> 00:03:51,187
that will serve you like the King!
44
00:03:52,147 --> 00:03:56,736
What then?
What will you go after next?
45
00:03:56,851 --> 00:03:58,676
High Commander Won!
46
00:03:58,802 --> 00:04:00,627
Answer my question.
47
00:04:00,628 --> 00:04:04,508
It is an order, Commander Won.
Sit down!
48
00:04:04,509 --> 00:04:06,679
Answer me, I said!
49
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:09,631
I never said I wouldn't listen to
your opinion,
50
00:04:09,819 --> 00:04:13,602
and I never said I wouldn't
answer your question.
51
00:04:14,346 --> 00:04:18,415
Remember, High Commander Won,
this is an official meeting of
52
00:04:18,519 --> 00:04:22,170
the Three Provinces Navy, and we
are here to discuss
53
00:04:22,171 --> 00:04:25,727
effective ways to operate
this organization.
54
00:04:26,270 --> 00:04:29,618
If you have something to say,
control your temper
55
00:04:29,785 --> 00:04:34,935
and maintain a respectful tone
toward your superior.
56
00:04:35,481 --> 00:04:41,959
It is the least that is expected
of an officer. Is it not?
57
00:04:59,276 --> 00:05:08,102
Well then, I will respond
to your questions.
58
00:05:11,657 --> 00:05:15,341
Yi Soon-shin has rejected the
military service exam in Jinju?
59
00:05:18,846 --> 00:05:21,704
A separate exam
exclusively for the navy?
60
00:05:21,881 --> 00:05:24,039
And he wants to change the
contents of the examination?
61
00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:28,233
Your Highness, I will not
be silent any longer.
62
00:05:28,234 --> 00:05:32,749
This is a national event that even
the smallest details of its process
63
00:05:32,750 --> 00:05:36,131
is specified in the Administrative
Code in accordance with
64
00:05:36,132 --> 00:05:38,373
the Ming Code of Law.
65
00:05:38,374 --> 00:05:46,102
How could a common warrior dare
attempt to change this process?
66
00:05:46,354 --> 00:05:48,179
That's right, Your Highness.
67
00:05:48,180 --> 00:05:51,352
This cannot be authorized.
68
00:05:51,810 --> 00:05:57,852
He writes that it is necessary to suit
the distinct needs of the navy.
69
00:05:58,998 --> 00:06:02,169
I feel it is not a
terribly unreasonable request.
70
00:06:02,273 --> 00:06:04,394
But Your Highness!
71
00:06:04,682 --> 00:06:07,498
I shall take a few
days and consider it.
72
00:06:15,761 --> 00:06:21,080
One, two, one, two...
73
00:06:21,716 --> 00:06:24,386
Do it right, boys, do it right.
74
00:06:24,387 --> 00:06:29,696
Get your shoulders and your
waist loose and limber.
75
00:06:30,541 --> 00:06:36,248
One, two, one, two...
Count with me!
76
00:06:39,544 --> 00:06:45,303
If your joints and muscles go
kaput, you become cripples.
77
00:06:45,804 --> 00:06:49,894
Imagine if all of us
oarsmen were cripples.
78
00:06:49,895 --> 00:07:00,637
All those galleys would be useless.
You get what I'm trying to say?
79
00:07:00,741 --> 00:07:02,185
Yes...
80
00:07:04,183 --> 00:07:08,177
What was that? Do you
want to be cripples?
81
00:07:08,395 --> 00:07:10,765
Answer me louder!
82
00:07:10,766 --> 00:07:12,214
Yes!
83
00:07:12,215 --> 00:07:12,976
Better.
84
00:07:12,977 --> 00:07:16,310
Young-gap!
Young-gap!
85
00:07:22,948 --> 00:07:25,477
What do you want? Can't you
see that we're training?
86
00:07:26,578 --> 00:07:30,364
Training is not
important right now!
87
00:07:32,596 --> 00:07:37,352
Didn't you hear? The admiral is
going to have a military service exam
88
00:07:37,353 --> 00:07:41,685
just for the navy
here in Hansando!
89
00:07:42,860 --> 00:07:47,304
Don't start with the military exam
nonsense again. Leave us alone.
90
00:07:47,439 --> 00:07:49,828
My boys don't appreciate salt
being rubbed on their wounds.
91
00:07:49,829 --> 00:07:53,699
Whose putting salt on
whose wounds?
92
00:07:53,939 --> 00:08:04,829
All of us can take the exam whether
we're a seaman or an oarsman!
93
00:08:06,258 --> 00:08:08,060
Are you sure?
94
00:08:09,659 --> 00:08:12,852
Yes, I'm dead sure!
95
00:08:14,749 --> 00:08:19,798
Seamen and oarsmen becoming
officers? That's absurd.
96
00:08:20,006 --> 00:08:23,824
But the admiral already sent
his proposal,
97
00:08:24,137 --> 00:08:27,036
so if the Crown Prince
does not oppose...
98
00:08:27,037 --> 00:08:30,270
Whether they approve his
or not is not the issue.
99
00:08:30,447 --> 00:08:35,477
The issue is can they do the job.
100
00:08:38,271 --> 00:08:42,432
I don't mean any disrespect
for the seamen and oarsmen.
101
00:08:42,526 --> 00:08:46,637
Young-gap, Dae-man, Jakbo,
Sang-nam,
102
00:08:46,770 --> 00:08:52,479
they are all like brothers to me.
103
00:08:52,657 --> 00:08:56,894
But some things just can't be.
104
00:08:57,528 --> 00:09:02,295
I agree. Commander's assistants
have some level of education and
105
00:09:02,296 --> 00:09:06,938
leadership experience so they can
possibly do the job, but I don't
106
00:09:07,199 --> 00:09:12,769
know about putting an officers'
uniforms on seamen or oarsmen.
107
00:09:13,260 --> 00:09:17,777
How about the shipyard director?
He's doing a fine job.
108
00:09:17,913 --> 00:09:26,205
He's an exception. Making
ships take special skills, so...
109
00:09:26,340 --> 00:09:29,710
Anyway, that's a special case.
110
00:09:29,711 --> 00:09:35,208
Do you realty think Young-gap
can be a ship's captain?
111
00:09:35,353 --> 00:09:38,660
The soldiers won't
listen to his commands.
112
00:09:38,661 --> 00:09:41,852
What is Martial Law for?
113
00:09:42,812 --> 00:09:46,859
If he became a captain, the
soldiers must obey his orders,
114
00:09:46,860 --> 00:09:51,241
and if they don't, they must be
punished according to Martial Law.
115
00:09:51,397 --> 00:09:53,317
What I'm saying is...
116
00:09:53,318 --> 00:09:56,446
All of us entered service
through the exams,
117
00:09:56,447 --> 00:10:00,713
but think back to how we were
when we were first assigned.
118
00:10:01,443 --> 00:10:04,477
The local soldiers that we were
assigned to command
119
00:10:04,478 --> 00:10:06,534
knew a lot more than we did.
120
00:10:06,867 --> 00:10:11,071
I'm with the admiral in his belief
that the officers
121
00:10:11,175 --> 00:10:17,935
should be chosen from among
the trained seamen.
122
00:10:28,323 --> 00:10:33,144
Sir, how much longer are
you going to tolerate this?
123
00:10:33,622 --> 00:10:37,477
Sir, aren't you offended?
124
00:10:40,235 --> 00:10:43,310
Send a message to
Minister Yoon Du-su.
125
00:10:43,782 --> 00:10:49,843
What's the point when Yi Soon-shin
has already sent his report?
126
00:10:49,844 --> 00:10:52,461
What we mean is you should
expose his ulterior motive.
127
00:10:52,462 --> 00:10:57,269
Minister Yoon is a smart man.
128
00:10:57,416 --> 00:11:00,127
He doesn't need me to tell
him what's going on.
129
00:11:00,128 --> 00:11:01,525
But...
130
00:11:01,526 --> 00:11:05,019
Just keep your men under control.
131
00:11:05,468 --> 00:11:08,628
I don't want anyone weakening
discipline
132
00:11:08,743 --> 00:11:15,887
in the Right Kyung-sang Navy
with pipe dreams.
133
00:11:16,211 --> 00:11:18,477
Yes, sir.
134
00:11:30,939 --> 00:11:33,620
Do you think this
is a playground?
135
00:11:33,621 --> 00:11:35,581
What are you men doing
here standing around?
136
00:11:35,582 --> 00:11:37,761
Sir, is it really true?
137
00:11:37,762 --> 00:11:40,953
We heard they're letting us
take the military service exam.
138
00:11:41,067 --> 00:11:43,895
What's will we be tested on?
139
00:11:43,896 --> 00:11:45,573
Can we prepare for it at night
140
00:11:45,574 --> 00:11:48,066
after we are done with our
training drills?
141
00:11:48,733 --> 00:11:51,675
Stop dreaming and
get out to the field!
142
00:11:51,769 --> 00:11:54,460
Do you think military service
exam is a board game?
143
00:11:54,461 --> 00:11:58,500
Do you think you can roll a
dice and climb to the top?
144
00:11:58,673 --> 00:12:02,073
That remains to be seen, sir.
145
00:12:02,188 --> 00:12:05,870
These boys are excited thinking
that they might actually make
146
00:12:05,871 --> 00:12:09,594
something of themselves if
they work hard enough.
147
00:12:09,595 --> 00:12:11,931
Why do you take the
wind out of their sail?
148
00:12:12,025 --> 00:12:13,058
What?
149
00:12:13,059 --> 00:12:17,982
I don't understand why you think
it's impossible
150
00:12:17,983 --> 00:12:22,019
when the admiral says
it is possible. I think...
151
00:12:22,020 --> 00:12:24,502
You want to keep talking?
152
00:12:24,731 --> 00:12:26,477
Father!
153
00:12:29,363 --> 00:12:33,269
Who do you think you are
staring at?
154
00:12:33,921 --> 00:12:36,175
What are you going to do?
155
00:12:36,176 --> 00:12:39,148
Pull out your sword like you
did on High Commander Won?
156
00:12:40,420 --> 00:12:44,259
Don't even dream about taking
the military service exam.
157
00:12:44,436 --> 00:12:47,420
How could you be an officer when
158
00:12:47,421 --> 00:12:50,517
you don't have an ounce of
respect for your superior?
159
00:12:53,658 --> 00:12:59,196
What are you standing around for?
I told you to get out to the field!
160
00:13:00,116 --> 00:13:03,045
Stop your daydreaming
and get back to work.
161
00:13:03,241 --> 00:13:07,615
High Commander Won wants the
field cleared of rocks and weeds
162
00:13:07,616 --> 00:13:10,754
and ready for planting
by sundown!
163
00:13:50,296 --> 00:13:54,218
Father! Father, are you
all right? Are you hurt?
164
00:13:54,219 --> 00:13:55,657
I'm fine.
165
00:13:58,699 --> 00:14:00,865
Don't work too hard.
166
00:14:01,033 --> 00:14:06,392
You need to save your energy
to prepare for the exam.
167
00:14:07,616 --> 00:14:09,365
Father...
168
00:14:12,074 --> 00:14:16,948
Don't mind them. Captain Woo
and Magistrate Ki may not think
169
00:14:17,125 --> 00:14:20,536
you can do it, but if the
admiral says you can, you can.
170
00:14:21,183 --> 00:14:27,698
Just don't be like those nasty
men when you become an officer.
171
00:14:27,699 --> 00:14:29,573
All right?
172
00:14:30,435 --> 00:14:37,935
If I could see you in that officer's
uniform, I'd die a happy man.
173
00:14:54,616 --> 00:14:58,657
Your Highness, Left Minister
Yoon Du-su to see you.
174
00:15:00,986 --> 00:15:02,448
See him in.
175
00:15:12,502 --> 00:15:14,698
Welcome, Left Minister.
176
00:15:17,082 --> 00:15:18,823
Oh dear...
177
00:15:19,595 --> 00:15:26,063
You are still struggling with
Yi Soon-shin's request.
178
00:15:27,231 --> 00:15:35,982
That selfish man... He is always
putting such heavy burden on you...
179
00:15:38,866 --> 00:15:45,453
Your Highness, I am well aware
that Yi Soon-shin is a
180
00:15:46,491 --> 00:15:53,985
competent warrior who has many
battles to victory.
181
00:15:54,788 --> 00:16:01,403
But he is by no means a faithful
subject to the Royal House.
182
00:16:02,033 --> 00:16:03,823
Left Minister...
183
00:16:03,824 --> 00:16:07,097
Now he wants the right
of personnel management.
184
00:16:07,098 --> 00:16:10,532
Why else would he refuse to
accommodate the
185
00:16:10,533 --> 00:16:13,534
military service examination
that you have ordered?
186
00:16:15,047 --> 00:16:18,082
This nonsense about selecting men
187
00:16:18,083 --> 00:16:22,198
based on the special needs of the
navy is just an excuse.
188
00:16:22,199 --> 00:16:24,549
It is a ploy to place his own
men in places of leadership
189
00:16:24,550 --> 00:16:27,095
so to increase his own influence.
190
00:16:29,533 --> 00:16:32,425
Yi Soon-shin has 20.000 men
under him,
191
00:16:32,426 --> 00:16:34,782
and they are the
best of Chosun at that.
192
00:16:34,783 --> 00:16:38,714
And it he's given authority to select
new leaders of our military to boot,
193
00:16:39,350 --> 00:16:45,171
he will become the
most powerful man in Chosun...
194
00:16:45,366 --> 00:16:49,594
not Your Highness, not His
Majesty, but Yi Soon-shin.
195
00:17:08,949 --> 00:17:10,532
What's this?
196
00:17:10,841 --> 00:17:14,054
They're arrows as you can see.
197
00:17:14,304 --> 00:17:16,432
What do you want me to do with
them in the middle of the night.
198
00:17:16,433 --> 00:17:20,719
Practice, we have to practice
so we can trade in these old
199
00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:30,448
seamen's uniform for officers
uniform. Right, Sang-nam?
200
00:17:30,449 --> 00:17:33,532
Need I answer that question?
Of course we do.
201
00:17:33,533 --> 00:17:35,448
Let's go, Young-gap.
202
00:17:35,616 --> 00:17:38,740
Get yourself some cold
water and wake up.
203
00:17:38,741 --> 00:17:40,323
Young-gap...
204
00:17:40,779 --> 00:17:43,157
Know your own limitations.
205
00:17:43,158 --> 00:17:48,198
If a crow tries to walk like a
stork, he'll break his legs.
206
00:17:48,199 --> 00:17:49,907
Now go on inside and sleep.
207
00:17:49,908 --> 00:17:55,115
What's wrong with you? Anyone can
take the military service exam now!
208
00:17:55,116 --> 00:17:58,439
That's what you call
"A pie in the sky".
209
00:17:58,574 --> 00:18:02,685
We were born peasants and lived
our whole lives as peasants.
210
00:18:02,908 --> 00:18:04,948
Me, a military officer?
211
00:18:05,074 --> 00:18:07,013
I wouldn't dare dream about it.
212
00:18:07,014 --> 00:18:10,823
Some things are just not
possible in this world.
213
00:18:10,936 --> 00:18:15,996
Why do you worry so much
when the admiral says we can?
214
00:18:16,142 --> 00:18:18,875
The admiral is not the King.
215
00:18:18,991 --> 00:18:21,948
It's hard to get an official
position even for the nobles.
216
00:18:21,949 --> 00:18:25,280
The admiral might try,
but do you think
217
00:18:25,281 --> 00:18:30,615
the nobles would tolerate us
peasants on those high positions?
218
00:18:33,199 --> 00:18:35,157
Then fight!
219
00:18:40,874 --> 00:18:44,286
Then fight against that prejudice!
220
00:18:44,783 --> 00:18:46,278
Admiral...
221
00:18:46,449 --> 00:18:50,200
Who was that man who beat on the
drums and ordered our ships to
222
00:18:50,324 --> 00:18:53,037
advance on our battles for the
last three years?
223
00:18:53,340 --> 00:18:55,677
It was not Ma Young-gap
the peasant;
224
00:18:55,678 --> 00:18:59,005
it was Ma Young-gap the best
oarsmen leader of Chosun.
225
00:18:59,130 --> 00:19:01,032
Am I wrong?
226
00:19:04,783 --> 00:19:07,782
Social status is unimportant.
227
00:19:07,783 --> 00:19:12,407
The only thing that is important
is that we are the Chosun Navy
228
00:19:12,408 --> 00:19:16,615
and that the Chosun Navy
needs competent leaders.
229
00:19:18,366 --> 00:19:19,940
Fight.
230
00:19:20,327 --> 00:19:27,828
Don't let the world defeat you,
and don't let yourself defeat you.
231
00:19:39,533 --> 00:19:42,740
I had never felt such a gaze.
232
00:19:43,783 --> 00:19:49,615
His gaze was warm and affectionate
like a father's love...
233
00:19:51,324 --> 00:19:56,378
... that I had never
felt from my father...
234
00:19:57,286 --> 00:19:58,990
Your Highness...
235
00:19:59,685 --> 00:20:01,845
Could it really be?
236
00:20:02,116 --> 00:20:05,402
Could he really be hiding a cold
dagger of ambition
237
00:20:05,403 --> 00:20:07,603
behind that warm and
kind facade?
238
00:20:10,775 --> 00:20:14,613
Power is truly grand...
239
00:20:16,824 --> 00:20:25,003
It is bitter sweet to grow up
and learn about the world...
240
00:21:00,907 --> 00:21:03,823
This gets better and better.
241
00:21:04,199 --> 00:21:05,633
What do you think?
242
00:21:05,810 --> 00:21:10,198
Will Kwang-hae go along
with Yi Soon-shin's idea?
243
00:21:10,866 --> 00:21:13,907
The Crown Prince is young.
244
00:21:13,908 --> 00:21:17,482
And since he has the right
of personnel management...
245
00:21:19,412 --> 00:21:22,363
That gullible child...
246
00:21:23,074 --> 00:21:25,346
I did not him the right of
personnel management
247
00:21:25,347 --> 00:21:27,787
so he could give peasants
office and titles...
248
00:21:28,074 --> 00:21:34,275
Something should be done
before it is too late.
249
00:21:36,324 --> 00:21:39,709
Perhaps a letter to
Minister Yoon Du-su...
250
00:21:39,710 --> 00:21:42,407
That is not a good idea.
251
00:21:43,616 --> 00:21:49,323
I should warn the man who has
his eyes on the country directly.
252
00:21:49,866 --> 00:21:51,592
Your Majesty...
253
00:21:51,699 --> 00:21:57,048
Prepare my carriage.
I will pay Yu Sung-ryong a visit.
254
00:21:59,199 --> 00:22:02,973
Your Majesty, what brings
you to my humble home?
255
00:22:03,699 --> 00:22:09,198
Your house remains unchanged...
256
00:22:12,309 --> 00:22:18,640
... while my palace was burned down
and disappeared without a trace...
257
00:22:21,227 --> 00:22:23,573
My regret is infinite...
258
00:22:24,576 --> 00:22:29,332
It's all right... as long as you
don't think that my authority
259
00:22:29,333 --> 00:22:32,948
has disappeared with my palaces.
260
00:22:37,125 --> 00:22:46,357
I don't expect you would.
But how about Yi Soon-shin?
261
00:22:57,491 --> 00:23:02,240
I think the prime example of
those who have an exaggerated
262
00:23:02,241 --> 00:23:08,513
interpretation of the destroyed
palaces is Yi Soon-shin.
263
00:23:12,116 --> 00:23:16,948
He comes up with some
interesting ways of showing it.
264
00:23:19,591 --> 00:23:26,323
It has been tolerable so far,
but this is a bit extreme.
265
00:23:28,228 --> 00:23:33,323
I treasure Yi Soon-shin
as much as I treasure you.
266
00:23:34,449 --> 00:23:37,740
Why don't you have
a talk with him?
267
00:23:39,242 --> 00:23:44,615
As much as I appreciate him, it
is hard for me to keep him close
268
00:23:44,616 --> 00:23:52,279
when he tries to break down the
law and order of this country.
269
00:24:01,366 --> 00:24:04,490
What brings you here,
Imperial Attendant?
270
00:24:04,824 --> 00:24:08,907
His Majesty has asked
me to deliver a message.
271
00:24:09,896 --> 00:24:11,823
A message?
272
00:24:32,613 --> 00:24:35,032
Did you find out?
273
00:24:35,033 --> 00:24:37,610
I've checked with the Royal
Secretariat, but no reports
274
00:24:37,611 --> 00:24:41,032
were received regarding
military service exams.
275
00:24:42,158 --> 00:24:46,073
You mean His Majesty
has information
276
00:24:46,074 --> 00:24:49,138
that has not yet been
officially reported?
277
00:24:49,449 --> 00:24:51,161
Yes, sir.
278
00:24:51,324 --> 00:24:53,323
Oh dear...
279
00:24:54,158 --> 00:24:59,151
Prime Minister, this is
the biggest problem of all.
280
00:24:59,824 --> 00:25:05,921
His Majesty is becoming increasingly
distrustful as the war continues.
281
00:25:06,324 --> 00:25:10,740
From his own son to his ministers
and military leaders...
282
00:25:11,908 --> 00:25:16,790
He is planting spies
all around the country.
283
00:25:17,574 --> 00:25:21,240
He is trying to restore the
command of the Royal House
284
00:25:21,241 --> 00:25:27,377
by nipping all potential
opposition at the bud.
285
00:25:31,741 --> 00:25:34,490
You must talk to Yi Soon-shin.
286
00:25:35,034 --> 00:25:40,896
We cannot sacrifice such
a competent warrior.
287
00:25:45,908 --> 00:25:49,710
Impeach the Supreme Naval
Commander Yi Soon-shin?
288
00:25:49,981 --> 00:25:51,013
But on what grounds?
289
00:25:51,014 --> 00:25:54,279
We'll find plenty
of causes if we look.
290
00:25:54,491 --> 00:25:58,907
It is not yesterday that he
started acting high and mighty.
291
00:25:59,533 --> 00:26:00,547
But...
292
00:26:00,548 --> 00:26:03,823
I'm not talking
about right away.
293
00:26:07,408 --> 00:26:12,314
I asked you here because there
is something you must do.
294
00:26:15,074 --> 00:26:17,842
Speak to your father-in-law, the
High Commissoner, and ted him
295
00:26:17,843 --> 00:26:19,407
to be wary of Yi Soon-shin.
296
00:26:19,408 --> 00:26:24,476
Tell him not to defend
Yi Soon-shin needlessly.
297
00:26:31,574 --> 00:26:36,657
Soon-shin, now even I find it hard
to understand what you are doing.
298
00:26:36,658 --> 00:26:39,907
Why must you always risk
everything all the time?
299
00:26:39,908 --> 00:26:43,198
How long do you think you can
last if you continue like this?
300
00:26:43,199 --> 00:26:45,767
I am so frustrated with you...
301
00:26:46,283 --> 00:26:48,427
Let history be a lesson to you.
302
00:26:48,521 --> 00:26:52,787
Hann Xin did not crawl between
the legs of his enemy because
303
00:26:53,014 --> 00:26:56,115
he lacked strength and courage.
304
00:26:56,116 --> 00:26:58,953
Sometimes you must bend
in order not to break.
305
00:26:59,783 --> 00:27:06,657
Please, please give in this time and
follow the orders of the Crown Prince.
306
00:27:06,658 --> 00:27:09,823
Only then you
will have a future.
307
00:27:33,991 --> 00:27:38,657
You should follow the Prime
Minister's advice this time.
308
00:27:43,824 --> 00:27:45,240
Admiral...
309
00:27:47,928 --> 00:27:51,673
Am I wrong?
310
00:27:55,136 --> 00:27:58,407
Men do not become
sailors overnight.
311
00:27:59,058 --> 00:28:03,407
And a ship's captain
needs experience at sea.
312
00:28:04,616 --> 00:28:09,073
Without experience, he cannot
command his crew
313
00:28:09,074 --> 00:28:11,157
especially in a battle.
314
00:28:13,015 --> 00:28:16,478
Am I wrong?
315
00:28:19,741 --> 00:28:24,500
A man's capacity is not determined
by his social caste. Am I wrong?
316
00:28:24,824 --> 00:28:27,407
I'm not saying that
you are wrong, Admiral.
317
00:28:28,902 --> 00:28:33,240
If we know that it is right,
we must pursue it.
318
00:28:34,012 --> 00:28:40,500
Acquiring competent officers
is crucial if we are going
319
00:28:41,648 --> 00:28:44,068
to lead this war to victory.
320
00:29:04,086 --> 00:29:10,240
Your Highness, how
may I serve you?
321
00:29:14,329 --> 00:29:17,282
Bring Yi Soon-shin in.
322
00:29:17,793 --> 00:29:20,490
I will hear from the horse's mouth
323
00:29:20,491 --> 00:29:23,352
why he is refusing
to comply with my order.
324
00:29:24,116 --> 00:29:28,839
I shall obey your
command, Your Highness.
325
00:29:39,741 --> 00:29:45,323
I'm told that military law is more
important to you than your life.
326
00:29:45,533 --> 00:29:46,906
Is that true?
327
00:29:47,033 --> 00:29:48,471
Yes, Your Highness.
328
00:29:48,616 --> 00:29:53,490
Then why are you so disrespectful
to civil law as citizen of Chosun?
329
00:29:54,116 --> 00:30:00,696
Do you think less of the country
than of the navy you command?
330
00:30:01,783 --> 00:30:03,189
Your Highness...
331
00:30:03,190 --> 00:30:06,600
I am asking you if you think Chosun
is less important than your navy!
332
00:30:07,841 --> 00:30:09,624
Your Highness...
333
00:30:09,908 --> 00:30:12,615
Answer my question!
334
00:30:14,533 --> 00:30:17,428
I have stated in my report
335
00:30:17,553 --> 00:30:20,109
why a separate examination
is necessary for the navy.
336
00:30:20,380 --> 00:30:24,198
There is nothing more I
should add, Your Highness.
337
00:30:24,533 --> 00:30:27,233
You wish not to discriminate
between the castes
338
00:30:27,234 --> 00:30:29,727
in selecting your officers?
339
00:30:31,533 --> 00:30:35,282
From Manjok of Koryo to
Chung Yuh-rip of recent times,
340
00:30:35,283 --> 00:30:38,342
do you know what those rebels who
dared to bear treasonous thoughts
341
00:30:38,343 --> 00:30:40,752
against the royal house
have in common?
342
00:30:41,033 --> 00:30:43,381
They all called for equality.
343
00:30:44,324 --> 00:30:48,044
"Are generals and
ministers born to glory..."
344
00:30:48,283 --> 00:30:51,257
Left Minister, you're
taking this too far.
345
00:30:51,366 --> 00:30:56,032
What are you trying to go after
seducing the public with call for
346
00:30:56,033 --> 00:31:00,383
equality with 20.000 troops and
the right of personnel management?
347
00:31:00,533 --> 00:31:01,865
Left Minister!
348
00:31:01,866 --> 00:31:04,865
What are you trying to accomplish
349
00:31:04,866 --> 00:31:08,802
by giving authority to those
simple-minded lowborns?
350
00:31:12,485 --> 00:31:14,532
Simple-minded?
351
00:31:15,491 --> 00:31:19,151
Yes, they are indeed
simple-minded.
352
00:31:19,366 --> 00:31:22,573
We are always outmanned and
outskilled, but they fight
353
00:31:22,574 --> 00:31:25,639
risking their lives with a single
determination to save this country.
354
00:31:25,640 --> 00:31:28,738
How much more simple-minded
could men be?
355
00:31:29,937 --> 00:31:36,331
But I will not let you insult them.
356
00:31:36,999 --> 00:31:40,419
These men risk their lives
fighting against the enemy
357
00:31:40,420 --> 00:31:42,902
without expecting
anything in return!
358
00:31:43,199 --> 00:31:48,816
It is this nauseating simple-
mindedness that protected Chosun.
359
00:31:52,116 --> 00:31:54,084
Did you say it is wrong to treat
360
00:31:54,085 --> 00:31:58,080
all castes equally in selecting
military officers?
361
00:31:58,758 --> 00:32:01,742
If no distinction is made between
castes in defending the country,
362
00:32:01,743 --> 00:32:06,532
why must we discriminate in
selecting military officers?
363
00:32:06,533 --> 00:32:08,823
Supreme Commander!
364
00:32:08,908 --> 00:32:14,082
No, I agree with the
Supreme Commander.
365
00:32:15,449 --> 00:32:17,889
Your Highness, why...?
366
00:32:18,077 --> 00:32:21,477
I will trust your loyalty
and the loyalty of your men.
367
00:32:22,033 --> 00:32:26,151
You may conduct a separate military
service examination for the navy.
368
00:32:26,283 --> 00:32:30,115
Your Highness, your
grace is infinite.
369
00:32:36,366 --> 00:32:38,532
High Commissioner Kwon Yul...
370
00:32:39,243 --> 00:32:41,048
Yes, Your Highness.
371
00:32:41,241 --> 00:32:45,367
It will be quite an ordeal to conduct
a military service exam at the front.
372
00:32:45,616 --> 00:32:48,914
Please assist them with both
material and emotional support.
373
00:32:49,283 --> 00:32:55,215
Of course, Your Highness.
It would be my honor.
374
00:33:06,783 --> 00:33:13,647
Your Highness, you must reconsider.
Behind that patriotic facade...
375
00:33:17,824 --> 00:33:21,826
Do not try to malign Yi Soon-shin
and his men any longer.
376
00:33:22,942 --> 00:33:27,198
Know that your prejudice that
distorts your colleague's loyalty
377
00:33:27,199 --> 00:33:31,548
and stops you from appreciating
the patriotism of the people
378
00:33:31,986 --> 00:33:36,972
is one of the causes of
this country's decline.
379
00:33:37,949 --> 00:33:39,698
Your Highness!
380
00:33:39,699 --> 00:33:41,478
The voice of the people is the
voice of God.
381
00:33:41,658 --> 00:33:45,990
That means the court must
serve the people.
382
00:33:46,574 --> 00:33:51,657
Why do you think so little of the
people that I regard as my god?
383
00:34:19,343 --> 00:34:22,032
On the sixth of March, 1594,
a military service exam will
384
00:34:22,033 --> 00:34:25,382
be conducted exclusively for the navy
at the Hansando Naval Headquarters.
385
00:34:25,570 --> 00:34:30,035
All navy personnel are eligible to
apply regardless of social caste.
386
00:34:33,906 --> 00:34:37,733
The applicants will be tested
on newly established subjects.
387
00:34:38,036 --> 00:34:45,734
Sailors fight at sea, so they
must be expert swimmers...
388
00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:52,577
Higher.
Yes, a little bit higher.
389
00:35:00,401 --> 00:35:01,966
And they must possess
detailed knowledge
390
00:35:01,967 --> 00:35:05,439
of the structure and
operation of the galleys.
391
00:35:19,553 --> 00:35:25,823
You will also be scored on your
character as reflected by your peers.
392
00:35:37,142 --> 00:35:41,168
Sang-nam...
My dear friend Sang-nam..
393
00:35:41,169 --> 00:35:43,907
What's gotten into you?
394
00:35:44,423 --> 00:35:50,907
I felt guilty about how I've
been sneaking your food.
395
00:35:51,991 --> 00:35:54,604
So here, have some more.
396
00:35:55,553 --> 00:36:01,863
That's not going to make
him forgive and forget.
397
00:36:02,408 --> 00:36:04,532
You, you little...
398
00:36:04,533 --> 00:36:07,225
No, it's highly unlikely.
399
00:36:07,449 --> 00:36:10,095
I don't see it happening
for Dae-man. Do you?
400
00:36:10,366 --> 00:36:11,389
Hey!
401
00:36:11,483 --> 00:36:14,977
Watch your temper now.
It's not going to help your score.
402
00:36:18,209 --> 00:36:22,340
If they were scoring solely
on character and popularity
403
00:36:22,449 --> 00:36:27,240
Young-gap would win first place.
Don't you think?
404
00:36:33,272 --> 00:36:35,682
What's wrong this time?
405
00:36:35,683 --> 00:36:37,490
Now you can take the exam,
406
00:36:37,491 --> 00:36:40,313
and you're in first place as far
as the popularity goes.
407
00:36:40,314 --> 00:36:42,740
Why the long face?
408
00:36:43,265 --> 00:36:44,573
Never mind...
409
00:36:44,574 --> 00:36:48,543
I'm just not cut out for this stuff.
This is way above me.
410
00:36:48,804 --> 00:36:50,823
Young-gap...
411
00:36:51,658 --> 00:36:55,157
I heard they test you on
Principles of Strategy, too.
412
00:36:55,814 --> 00:36:59,537
I can't even read.
413
00:37:00,747 --> 00:37:04,430
How am I going to memorize
Principles of Strategy?
414
00:37:04,431 --> 00:37:07,757
Is that what got you down?
415
00:37:07,949 --> 00:37:13,035
You don't have to
worry about a thing!
416
00:37:37,006 --> 00:37:39,811
The texts that we just handed
out are Principles of Strategy
417
00:37:39,812 --> 00:37:41,846
rewritten in colloquial language.
418
00:37:42,065 --> 00:37:45,198
Colloquial language is
easy to learn,
419
00:37:45,199 --> 00:37:48,949
so learning the Principles of
Strategy should not be difficult.
420
00:37:49,178 --> 00:37:54,198
Lady Chung-hyang and I
will help you through this.
421
00:37:55,281 --> 00:37:57,823
May we help?
422
00:38:04,314 --> 00:38:08,111
I don't think the two
ladies can handle these thugs.
423
00:38:08,372 --> 00:38:13,619
They need a smack now and then
to keep them working.
424
00:38:16,258 --> 00:38:19,032
Let's see...
425
00:38:22,549 --> 00:38:27,003
Lieutenant, why are you sitting here?
I don't need your help.
426
00:38:27,004 --> 00:38:33,856
Lady Chung-yang promised
to teach me personally.
427
00:38:33,857 --> 00:38:40,990
You can't lean anything when
you're drooling over the teacher.
428
00:38:40,991 --> 00:38:43,115
Stop drooling, boy!
429
00:38:45,277 --> 00:38:47,781
I guarantee you will pass if
you learn from me.
430
00:38:47,782 --> 00:38:49,573
Now open your book.
431
00:38:49,574 --> 00:38:51,823
But I don't trust you.
432
00:38:52,830 --> 00:38:57,127
Trust me and open the book.
Let's start.
433
00:38:57,128 --> 00:38:59,975
But I don't know
where to start!
434
00:39:19,158 --> 00:39:21,407
Peasants...
435
00:39:22,570 --> 00:39:28,484
You don't need to give them a
whole lot or teach them a whole lot.
436
00:39:29,381 --> 00:39:33,365
What do we have to gain by
giving the peasants power?
437
00:39:33,856 --> 00:39:38,373
They will only bring chaos to the order
that the nobles have established.
438
00:39:38,633 --> 00:39:46,426
All that the people have
to learn is to be obedient...
439
00:39:47,593 --> 00:39:52,631
That is the order of His
Majesty's land Chosun.
440
00:39:52,632 --> 00:39:57,346
But Yi Soon-shin is trying
to break that order.
441
00:39:57,471 --> 00:40:00,695
Is this not the most
frustrating situation?
442
00:40:02,134 --> 00:40:07,840
What could he be after by breaking
down the order of the royal house
443
00:40:08,059 --> 00:40:11,615
and establishing his own order?
444
00:40:13,900 --> 00:40:18,939
Who is to say he is
not after the throne?
445
00:40:23,591 --> 00:40:26,657
I cannot allow this.
446
00:40:27,305 --> 00:40:32,323
I will do whatever it takes
to bring Yi Soon-shin down!
447
00:40:34,262 --> 00:40:36,657
Left Minister...
448
00:40:37,006 --> 00:40:42,294
How about it?
Are you with me?
449
00:41:06,408 --> 00:41:09,448
The archery test!
450
00:41:13,514 --> 00:41:16,946
The greatest variable
factor in action is wind.
451
00:41:17,158 --> 00:41:20,907
Thus we've set up this
test near the ocean.
452
00:41:34,992 --> 00:41:36,823
Draw!
453
00:41:47,978 --> 00:41:49,698
Release!
454
00:42:00,017 --> 00:42:01,365
Draw!
455
00:42:06,849 --> 00:42:08,407
Release!
456
00:42:15,652 --> 00:42:17,448
Draw!
457
00:42:19,157 --> 00:42:20,740
Release!
458
00:42:41,324 --> 00:42:42,907
Draw!
459
00:42:44,245 --> 00:42:46,032
Release!
460
00:42:49,137 --> 00:42:51,984
Huh? What happened?
461
00:42:52,183 --> 00:42:54,175
You must be nervous.
462
00:42:54,269 --> 00:42:57,994
No, it's not that.
463
00:42:58,129 --> 00:43:04,948
I'm so used to shooting at moving
targets that I can't adjust to this.
464
00:43:08,372 --> 00:43:09,990
Next!
465
00:43:13,639 --> 00:43:15,448
Draw!
466
00:43:19,950 --> 00:43:21,365
Release!
467
00:43:27,211 --> 00:43:31,550
Wow! They're better than me!
468
00:43:32,228 --> 00:43:34,732
I think we should exclude this
category all together.
469
00:43:34,733 --> 00:43:36,432
Don't you, Ip-bu?
470
00:43:36,433 --> 00:43:40,355
Yes. All of them have become
so good at this
471
00:43:40,512 --> 00:43:43,740
that it's impossible to rank them.
472
00:43:50,650 --> 00:43:53,323
Next is Expounding, Admiral.
473
00:43:56,941 --> 00:43:59,872
Expounding!
474
00:44:03,366 --> 00:44:05,921
How wide is Kyunneryang?
475
00:44:06,241 --> 00:44:07,956
It is 357 yards wide, sir.
476
00:44:08,050 --> 00:44:11,701
What should you do when
you caught in an ebb tide?
477
00:44:11,949 --> 00:44:15,615
Well, first I would
turn the ship against...
478
00:44:18,628 --> 00:44:21,073
I'm not sure, sir...
479
00:44:21,695 --> 00:44:26,084
How would you break through a
headwind and advance forward?
480
00:44:26,085 --> 00:44:32,042
First you must adjust the sail
to minimize the wind resistance.
481
00:44:32,219 --> 00:44:35,495
What did Sun Tzu say, in the
chapter on Army Maneuvers,
482
00:44:35,496 --> 00:44:38,073
about commanding his men?
483
00:44:38,947 --> 00:44:41,816
"He must command his men by
benevolence,
484
00:44:41,817 --> 00:44:44,865
and unify them
by discipline."
485
00:44:46,593 --> 00:44:49,430
What does that mean?
486
00:44:49,732 --> 00:44:54,218
That means first you have to love
your boys like your own sons and
487
00:44:54,219 --> 00:44:59,579
your brothers, but they won't
have any discipline if you just
488
00:44:59,580 --> 00:45:06,318
love them, so you have to punish
them hard when punishment is due.
489
00:45:20,933 --> 00:45:27,109
Lastly, the vessel escape test
on the premise of enemy attack.
490
00:45:31,261 --> 00:45:33,026
Ready!
491
00:45:41,275 --> 00:45:42,984
Drive!
492
00:45:53,386 --> 00:45:55,086
Ready!
493
00:46:09,751 --> 00:46:11,568
Drive!
494
00:46:25,277 --> 00:46:28,402
Help!
Help!
495
00:46:30,071 --> 00:46:36,362
Help me! I'm drowning!
Young-gap!
496
00:47:41,559 --> 00:47:44,734
Young-gap, why did you go back
for Chun Woo-song?
497
00:47:45,794 --> 00:47:49,943
He had a cramp and
he was drowning.
498
00:47:49,944 --> 00:47:53,137
How could I just leave him?
499
00:47:53,262 --> 00:47:56,308
There were others on the ship.
500
00:47:56,454 --> 00:47:59,568
There was no time.
501
00:48:00,794 --> 00:48:03,714
You could die pretty quickly if
your lungs get filled up with water
502
00:48:03,715 --> 00:48:05,498
and sink to the bottom.
503
00:48:05,694 --> 00:48:08,710
You know that, sir.
504
00:48:08,835 --> 00:48:11,214
We were in a middle of a test.
505
00:48:11,913 --> 00:48:15,359
That's why... I went back for him.
506
00:48:15,731 --> 00:48:18,609
If it were a real battle,
507
00:48:18,860 --> 00:48:21,729
I... I guess I should think
about it a little first.
508
00:48:21,730 --> 00:48:25,984
Then you may not have saved
him if it were a real battle?
509
00:48:26,778 --> 00:48:35,269
I would try my best, but... it if
got to a point where the ship was
510
00:48:35,270 --> 00:48:42,748
out of the battle line, I suppose
I could give up one man...
511
00:48:48,296 --> 00:48:53,234
You did no make the cut.
You will not pass the exam.
512
00:48:58,069 --> 00:49:05,109
I got my wish just having had
my chance to take the exam, sir...
513
00:49:29,735 --> 00:49:33,201
Bastard...
At least he's alive...
514
00:49:50,694 --> 00:49:55,169
Do you see my name?
I don't see my name!
515
00:49:57,985 --> 00:50:00,776
There! There's your name!
516
00:50:06,444 --> 00:50:09,303
Yes! We did it!
517
00:50:25,701 --> 00:50:27,693
There it is.
518
00:50:28,590 --> 00:50:33,231
Suh... Han... Su...
That's my name...
519
00:50:33,743 --> 00:50:38,425
Thank you, god of heaven and
earth! Thank you, Buddha!
520
00:50:38,426 --> 00:50:44,288
Han-su, you did it!
I'm so proud of you!
521
00:50:44,517 --> 00:50:46,354
Father...!
522
00:50:46,500 --> 00:50:49,848
Yes! Yes!
523
00:50:50,741 --> 00:50:52,741
Father!
524
00:51:06,527 --> 00:51:08,154
Young-gap...
525
00:51:17,719 --> 00:51:22,121
Here he is, Admiral.
526
00:51:40,542 --> 00:51:46,519
Petty Officer Ma Yong-gap
reporting for duty, sir?
527
00:51:46,967 --> 00:51:49,943
Congratulations, Officer Ma.
528
00:51:51,724 --> 00:51:55,270
You have failed the
prescribed examination.
529
00:51:55,271 --> 00:52:02,151
However, after careful consideration,
the judges granted you first place.
530
00:52:04,055 --> 00:52:05,568
Sir...
531
00:52:05,569 --> 00:52:08,415
It is because we agreed that
decisiveness and sound judgment
532
00:52:08,509 --> 00:52:10,054
in a crisis situation is the most
533
00:52:10,055 --> 00:52:12,421
important faculty required
of an officer.
534
00:52:12,682 --> 00:52:18,231
Above all, you won our vote with
your willingness
535
00:52:18,360 --> 00:52:21,173
to sacrifice yourself for
your subordinate.
536
00:52:21,777 --> 00:52:28,194
Keep that spirit with you as
you walk the path of a warrior.
537
00:52:29,842 --> 00:52:32,484
I will, sir!
538
00:53:58,777 --> 00:54:04,172
I am very proud of you who have
defended the front against the
539
00:54:04,319 --> 00:54:07,734
enemy to protect this land Chosun.
540
00:54:08,793 --> 00:54:14,102
With earnest desires of the
Royal House and the people,
541
00:54:14,332 --> 00:54:19,035
I beseech you to drive out the
enemy and save your country.
542
00:54:19,504 --> 00:54:25,484
Remember that the fate
of Chosun is in your hands.
543
00:54:28,632 --> 00:54:31,897
Atten-hut!
544
00:54:38,897 --> 00:54:40,816
Bow!
