Original subtitles

I hope the Korean team is lucky.

But that would require some magic, right?

Hello?

Mr. Eun. I heard you've been calling a lot.

What dirty trick do you have up your sleeve?

Trick?

I came to Korea because I was invited to the forum.

And I came to the banquet upon the request of the King.

If you're planning to threaten the princess--

Please, I wouldn't touch a disabled person.

Besides, shouldn't you be worrying

about yourself?

I heard you have a son.

In the Royal Guards, the king's right-hand man.

I think I heard that he respects his father immensely.

What happens if he finds out that we're chummy?

A father is practically a Superman to his son.

To find out he's only human...

Whoa.

What a pathetic sight.

Your pride shouldn't matter.

Think of how scarred your son--

Not my son!

Don't say a word to Shi-gyeong.

I'll tell the whole world what you did

even if it kills me--

Old men are so excitable.

Why would I bother with him?

I run an international organization. I'm beyond busy.

Besides, you know that peace is the theme of the forum.

I'm really here for the sake of peace.

But here's the thing about peace.

It's not so easily achieved, is it?

THE KOREAN PENINSULA PEACE JEJU FORUM

Why was the entrance music changed?

Your Royal Highness, are you ill?

Can't even call it a favor.

Just a small wish, if you will.

My presence gave the forum a little panache, no?

I expect appropriate treatment in return, that's all.

Is it so much to ask that you play a favorite song of mine?

That's practically nothing.

What?

Jae-shin.

Are you feeling unwell?

What's going on?

-Did something happen? -What is it?

Jae-shin?

It's a huge mess right now.

Twitter, too?

PRINCESS JAE-SHIN'S ACCIDENT AT THE PEACE JEJU FORUM

Darn the Internet.

More importantly, Your Majesty...

I heard our opponent is the US.

They're a friendly nation, as you well know.

Our friend and ally. You mustn't beat them.

Pardon?

We could end up in political and economic trouble--

So take it easy on them and lose without being too obvious, okay?

Lose on purpose?

It's like we're up against Real Madrid in the Champions League.

They have Ronaldo, Kaka and Benzema.

No need to throw the game since we won't win.

Is that so? Good to hear.

Good to hear?

You want them to crush us, so I'll be fired as king?

Of course not, Your Majesty. Please do your best.

Good luck, Your Majesty.

Real Madrid? Good luck.

Good luck.

Is there nickel in your ring?

Yes.

Why do you ask?

They used magnetism.

The US ball had something magnetic put on it.

It happened at the World Cup, right?

They used Sophia Loren's ring to go up against the US.

Why did you have to wear the ring?

I inherited it.

And the king has to wear it for formal functions...

You're the one who told me to pull out what I grabbed.

You should've dropped it if it didn't feel right.

Did you really have to...

Call an emergency meeting. We need a darn good strategy.

Or we're screwed.

Get everyone together.

Where did Kang Seok go?

They may be the world's best,

but they didn't bring their missiles.

We can do this.

Those darn Yankees I hated my entire life.

I'm in a foul mood,

I suggest you back off.

I told you to back off.

Comrade Kang Seok.

Have you lost your mind?

No matter how angry,

you can't use force in this critical time.

You've gone mad, haven't you?

There's no other explanation, even if it was the US.

How did that feel?

How dare you throw punches and let your emotions get the better of you!

They called us the axis of evil.

It was another country.

Do you think US is the only country that uses English?

They badmouthed our eternal leader.

And said our hobby was separating--

So, you refuse to apologize?

Our fate is being shot to hell,

but you only care for your pride?

Get out now!

I'm kicking you out, you reckless fool.

Get out now!

This is an order as the team leader.

Get out!

Hang Ah.

That's enough. I'll talk to him.

I'm really sorry.

It was a misunderstanding.

Cultural differences--

Shouldn't Israel be punished as well?

Violence isn't just physical.

Inappropriate words and insults

are also a kind of brutal behavior--

Our king is talking to the officer.

Let's settle things amicably.

This is a friendly competition, is it not?

You know Hang Ah.

She's just really frustrated.

We're up against an obvious favorite,

and she's nervous as the team leader.

It's fine.

I'm all right.

Be honest.

You were insulted, right?

No.

You can tell me.

Even if she's the captain, she's a woman.

And she hit you without giving you a chance to explain.

You were a little insulted, right?

A little when she hit me.

Exactly. Imagine how insulted the US team must feel.

You slapped them in the bathroom, of all places.

Put everything else aside. Think of how upset they must feel.

You should feel bad as a fellow person.

Let's apologize, okay?

If you don't want to, I'll apologize.

No.

-You're the king-- -You know.

We're backed into a corner.

This is about the Royal Family and our countries.

This could be the end.

Hang Ah and I will have to break up.

Separated forever.

You know that His Majesty is here as the team leader.

-That's impossible. -Hold on.

Fine, what do you want from me?

Your Majesty.

We have to stay in the competition.

That matters more than formalities.

Regarding the recent incident,

as King of South Korea...

I, Lee Jae-ha...

feel terrible

about what happened--

Comrade Kang Seok.

Is he coming in to throw more punches?

I'm sorry.

I was

ignorant and uncivilized.

The Yankees...

No,

I mean Americans.

They did not deserve what I did.

I truly regret it.

And I know I was in the wrong.

Please, just this once.

Please be generous

and forgive me

this once.

What are these?

They're drugs.

Princess.

Cuff her.

Jae-shin? Right now?

Forgive me, but I need her to confirm someone for me.

You saw what happened. Now is not a good time--

This person is related to what happened.

She's from Club M, Your Highness.

No way. Jae-shin's asleep right now.

We don't have much time.

We can only detain VIP guests for a limited time.

Please. Not you too, Captain Eun.

Just leave my children be, please. You saw how she flipped out.

It's fine, Mom.

No, Jae-shin, you need to rest.

I feel better after taking medicine and sleeping a little.

Come on in.

Don't worry.

I was humiliated internationally,

but I'm not dead like Princess Diana.

We detained this person from Club M.

This is her third time in Korea.

The first was April 2,

two days before the late king's death.

The second was when you were stalked in the ambulance incident,

-The third was... -Today.

It's too strange to be a coincidence.

Can you confirm her face?

About my brother's death.

You know I barely remember.

But I can confirm the ambulance

and today's incident.

Do you have proof or justification for holding her?

She's a foreigner. A VIP guest at that.

I won't be able to testify.

I don't think I'm ready to testify in public yet.

I won't pressure you.

Don't worry.

You detained a VIP guest? Someone from Club M?

We're interrogating her.

It's an international discourtesy

to detain a VIP guest without justification.

We can do that if it's less than 16 hours.

According to Article 15 Section 3 of the Special Laws on Royal House,

anyone who is a threat to the Royal Family--

What's your evidence?

A few drugs?

That's nothing in some countries--

Testimony from the princess.

That woman stalked the ambulance, and today she--

So, will the princess testify?

Of course not.

Can't you see their real motive here?

They want to use this against us politically.

-Are you going to let their trap-- -It's Club M, Dad.

You said yourself that it was Club M.

They killed the late king.

Why are you trying to stop me?

What are you so afraid of?

I heard you have a son.

What happens if he finds out that we're chummy?

Put on the commander.

This is Eun Kyu-tae.

Please relieve Eun Shi-gyeong, captain of the second company.

I formally request it as the chief secretary.

-Dad. -Send him somewhere else.

Anywhere but the palace.

Go and take some time off.

I can't, Dad.

I'm asking as your father, not the chief secretary.

Get some rest.

Royal Code, NT0. Secret inspection clearance.

From His Majesty himself.

I am within the right to investigate.

You can't dismiss me.

I will keep investigating. Forgive me.

How long has Bon-bon been detained?

Let's give them plenty of time.

I'm such a generous person, don't you agree?

Humiliating the Princess isn't enough

to show the flaws of the Royal Family.

And you know the theme of the forum.

Isn't it wild?

Ceasefire versus peace treaty.

It's about time

true peace came to the Korean peninsula.

1ST ROUND OF WOC, IS THE US AN ALLY OR AN ENEMY?

They're up against the US?

So they are.

That's perfect.

Fighting an ally.

Our friend, the US, or our homeland, Korea?

If you support the US, you'll feel bad for Jae-ha.

But if you take his side, you're an anti-American communist.

And what if a war breaks out?

If the US refuses to help out, everyone dies.

What a dilemma.

The Korean public must be so confused.

Leave them be.

The competition should be fair.

I mean it, don't do anything.

It'll only be fun if Korea is crushed in a fair game.

We shouldn't give them a reason to complain.

Or we'll just be giving them an excuse once they've lost.

Yes, must I repeat myself?

What? Do you think the US will lose without us?

This is the US with 400 million dollars spent on national defense.

They have Delta Force, Navy SEALs, and Green Berets.

Don't you know that?

Whatever, we can beat them.

Yes, we can do it.

Of course, we're...

It's the US.

What do we do?

Come inside. They're announcing the mission.

You are headed to a deserted island.

There is only one way off the island.

This boat.

The only way to start the engine is by inserting two keys.

And each team will receive one of the keys.

So we have to take away their key?

Exactly.

From noon until 8 p.m., do what you must to get their key.

Whichever team has both keys and escapes the island by boat wins.

What if neither team gets both keys?

What if it's a stalemate at 8 p.m.?

There are security cameras all around the island.

The WOC committee will watch and give points according to preset rules.

But as you know, ten points were deducted from us as a penalty.

We're at a disadvantage if it comes to that.

So you must take away their key before the time is up.

Your gear may include anything befitting our military power and principles.

Anything as long as each person has 40kg or less.

What's with the tent? We'll have our own barracks.

Whatever, get the landmines.

You'll be given WOC-approved rifles and landmines cleared for the competition.

You know that you must not use them to kill, don't you?

This is just a friendly competition.

Please don't forget that the country's honor is on your shoulders.

I can bring this, right?

As long as I just use it for digging.

Please be careful.

Don't hurt anyone severely with malicious intent.

They'll disqualify the entire team.

That must be the boat.

We just have to steal their key and ride that boat out of here.

Please do your best.

Go, Korea!

-Go, Korea! -We are one! We will win!

-Be strong! -Be strong!

We should work on a team chant.

Let's go.

Let's hurry up and find our command post.

She's a core mercenary of Club M with origins in the British SAS.

She specializes in terrorism, assassinations, and kidnapping.

Her real name is Mia Taylor, but she goes by Bon-bon in Club M.

She shot her fellow soldiers and even her mother.

She's completely psychotic.

There were drugs in the chocolate, but we can't charge her.

Why not?

It's a new drug.

It has never been seen before in our country,

so it's not included in our laws.

All right, shall we begin?

We understand the embassy's position,

-but the royal family regulations-- -Yes, hold on.

It's the administration.

The prime minister is livid.

I must take an urgent call. I will call you back.

This is Eun Kyu-tae.

Do you realize that Club M is hopping mad?

The Royal Guard is just doing a thorough job.

I'm making calls to apologize for the inconvenience.

Club M is holding a press conference!

Didn't I tell you that it's a trap?

Let her go right now and apologize to Club M.

Dad.

The dignity of the Royal Family is at stake.

Is your need to uphold the law more important than the Royal Family?

Do you want to see them treated like crap by the international community?

Restrain yourself. They're still more powerful than us.

Whatever happens there, endure it.

Even if you have to lick the soles of their feet.

I sincerely apologize for what happened.

Look, she isn't just a bodyguard. She's like my daughter.

How could you treat her like this?

Good, good. Keep it up.

Don't just stand there. Throw a punch.

Hit her!

Excuse

the discourtesy.

But I advise you to bring better company when you visit the Royal Family.

Bipolar disorder, mental illness.

She shot her own SAS troops.

Why did you keep her around?

What's your name?

Eun Shi-gyeong, captain of the second company of the Royal Guard.

Your son?

You're a smart cookie.

Why is someone like you

working under Lee Jae-ha?

He's incorrigible.

Mind your manners when speaking about His Majesty.

Because he's the king?

Hoping to get some crumbs from the cookies he tosses?

But he has no power.

Come to me, I'll make it worth it.

I have a lot of cookies.

I'm sorry.

But I don't eat

rotten cookies.

What was his name again?

I could start over because I had people who believed in me.

But you have no one.

Good for him.

Lee Jae-ha, you lucky bastard.

How nice.

We're here and the US team seems to be about 2km east from us.

How many tents do they have?

It's the same as ours.

The command post is right beside the communication post.

The ocean's all around and the north is all barbed-wire fences.

We have to snatch

their key.

Then, let's make a duplicate of our key.

-What? -Anyway, the keys are identical,

so we can make a copy--

Go and look for a mold.

The material. Gather all the doorknobs.

Comrade Lee Jae-ha.

You don't want to win? The US is...

You should have seen it in the movies.

Navy SEALs, G.I.Jane.

It's very terrifying.

I remember that the US team was once defeated in Somalia.

And the key is made of aluminum.

If you want to melt that, you need to use the highest heat.

How will you do that?

Do you want to search for wood for a whole day to melt it?

Really?

Then, we can just find ways to leave this place.

Right?

Let's swim. Everyone is good at swimming, right?

I'm one heck of a swimmer.

We spent three hours to come here by boat.

-How can we swim? -Is it that far?

We'll die.

Shall we try to negotiate with them?

Team leaders can communicate through radio.

We can say we'll give them something once we return home.

No. What can we give?

They're better off than we are.

This...

If we are shot, it'll show that we're dead.

It will be sent to the headquarters and we'll be eliminated.

And we can't fire.

That's right. But...

Within two seconds after being shot, we can reset it by pressing this button.

We won't be dead.

Don't you know

we'll be disqualified for cheating if the security camera catches us?

So make sure you don't get caught.

-There are a lot of dead zones-- -We...

We are military officers representing our countries.

We fight fair and square--

This is modern warfare, not the olden days.

We can't beat them with their advanced equipment, can we?

You might as well bring in live ammunition then.

Blow up all the cameras and hold a few hostages.

How's that for being cowardly?

Cowardly? There's no cowardly behavior in a war.

Is it cowardly to break a dam in war?

Is General Lee Sun-sin a coward for building turtle ships in secret?

They were making up for deficiencies--

Those are permissible acts during a war.

-But your ideas-- -A duplicate key is my turtle ship,

and the reset button is my dam!

Aren't you the King?

I'm doing this because I'm the King.

We have to win no matter what.

I have to get engaged to you.

Can't you see that we're at the edge of the cliff?

Hang Ah, I really want to...

I'm sorry,

but I won't get engaged like that.

I want a man whom I can respect.

I'll only get engaged

if we win this fair and square.

Respect?

And I'm too underhanded?

It has been five minutes since the mission started.

We have to come up with a plan.

Let's send someone to recon.

Let's plan it.

That's how we'll patrol the area.

Who's going to carry the key?

How about someone unexpected?

The US team is probably expecting either one of the leaders to have it.

I won't carry it. No way.

Ms. Team Leader, give me an easy task.

I'm too cowardly and underhanded.

Besides us two, who...

How about rock-paper-scissors? Eeny-meeny-miny-moe?

Are you going to stay mad for the entire mission?

What?

It's for the plan.

Let's choose randomly, so they can't guess who it is.

-Rock-paper-scissors. -Rock-paper-scissors.

No way, I can't do it.

This key is too important.

That's why you should take it.

The other team would never guess that a weakling like you has it.

Here.

Confirm with applause.

So much time has passed.

All right, let's get going.

We have to go on recon.

Yes!

-This is your fate. Accept it. -No.

Looks good.

Protect the key.

Don't worry.

Be careful.

Slide over, I'll--

Are you going to keep insulting me?

I'm a man too.

Let's fly.

Are you not done yet?

I just started.

Why? Did you see something?

No, I'm just asking.

I see something unusual.

What?

I see something unusual.

Get out. There's no hope...

I'm sorry.

I...

No.

It's okay.

So? Yeong Bae got caught?

What? Didn't you say it just started?

I sneaked a peek at the live footage.

At this rate,

we'll set a record for the shortest time.

The world will laugh at us for losing

the quickest in WOC history--

So they lost the key?

It's in my stomach.

So, what are you going to do?

Hey!

Try to get it out!

Hey!

But you know what?

I have constipation.

You can wait all day,

but I won't take a dump--

What are you talking about?

I won't poop!

What are you doing, you jerks?

Are you psychos really going to rip my stomach open?

Hey!

Are you trying to anesthetize me?

They have unbelievable equipment.

The nerve of those...

They want a fight, don't they?

Set it up.

You know,

the key to this plan is teamwork.

If we don't trust each other,

we can't succeed.

Trust me.

And...

I will trust you.

What will you do if they don't want to surrender?

Then we'll blow it up.

Everything.

Where did the princess go?

Which jerk is that...

We just need two of these.

You can blow up one of each separately and pressure them.

If there's any serious problem...

If you talk to them to get them out...

I'll try doing it.

We have 20 minutes left before the mission is over.

Let's just start.

We can do it.

You won't be able to reach him.

Didn't you see the communication center being blown up?

Remember.

It can never be later than 8 p.m.

I love Comrade Lee Jae-ha.
