Noryang: Deadly Sea (Noryang: Jukeumeui Bada / Noryang: The Sea of ​​Death / 노량: 죽음의 바다)

My life

appears like dew,

and vanishes...

like dew.

Earthly splendors

are but dreams within dreams.

Father...

Withdraw our forces

from Joseon.

My son, Hideyori...

Take care of him.

Ieyasu...

You...

- Father! - My lord!

Lord Chancellor!

Fire!

Hurry up!

Move it!

Hurry up!

Well?

Did you speak to Liu Ting?

He said...

he has no control over the Ming navy.

He suggests you ask Commander Chen Lin.

Is that so?

We should not have trusted Liu Ting, sir!

After all those bribes he accepted...

How long will our supplies last?

As things stand, five days at most.

Soldiers are starting to say they must feed on corpses

to survive without rations.

We were the last to receive the withdrawal order.

Ieyasu must be trying to delay my return.

If so,

his ally Kiyomasa will leave Ulsan Fortress

and return before you.

That bodes ill.

Who knows what they will be scheming?

The young lord Hideyori will be in danger.

We must return at once!

But the blockade...

Wae soldiers are moving from Namhae to Changseon Island.

Wae forces from Goseong have also gathered on the island.

The enemy may be evacuating the Gyeongsang region,

but it is possible

that they will reinforce Yegyo Fortress to break our blockade.

That seems unlikely.

Take a look over there.

It has been a while since Konishi had that beacon lit.

And yet,

no Wae forces are coming to his aid.

Their leader has died and the soldiers are too busy fleeing.

Indeed.

Konishi is the one under pressure, not us.

I agree.

With our blockade in place,

Konishi has no choice but to surrender.

No.

It will not end so easily.

Over the past seven years,

Konishi has been central to the war.

He will not surrender that easily.

Not without a battle.

We must prepare to face an attack.

Understood?

- Yes, Admiral. - Yes, Admiral.

Commander Chen, help us open a way for us to leave.

I beseech you!

Surely, you would approve.

The war is over, Commander!

He beseeches you to open a way for them to leave.

It is in your power alone

to end this war.

Let the past be forgotten.

Please, seize this chance for peace!

Do you mean to say,

you repent for your past errors?

He asks if you repent for your past errors.

- That is... - "The road to invade Ming."

You demanded of Joseon,

"Lend us the road to invade Ming,

and we shall spare Joseon."

"The road to invade Ming."

"Lend us the road to invade Ming,

and we shall spare Joseon."

Your late leader Hideyoshi

was a madman!

Was he not?

I am here to propose peace,

not to surrender.

He says he proposes peace, but will not surrender.

And if I refuse?

What will happen if he refuses?

In that case,

Ming forces will suffer

many more casualties.

If so, Ming forces will suffer many more casualties.

How dare you!

Go tell Konishi.

Peace comes at a price.

I offer no peace to him!

Begone.

Commander.

Begone, I say!

Begone at once!

At once! Do you hear?

You made the right decision, Commander!

"Peace comes at a price."

I shall prepare for battle, sir.

No need.

How many beheaded enemy heads are we taking to Osaka?

Nearly 2,000 heads.

We shall offer them all to Chen Lin,

along with the treasures we seized in Pyeongyang.

Since he asks for a price,

we must pay.

But...

Chen Lin is not like Yi Sun-shin.

He, like us, must return to his homeland.

Sir,

even if Chen Lin tries to lift the blockade,

Yi Sun-shin will fight back.

My son...

Myeon!

Let go of me!

Myeon!

Let go of me!

You must escape!

Myeon!

It is my fault.

It is all my fault.

Myeon!

Admiral, Junsa reports.

Just as you predicted,

one of Konishi's ships entered the Ming base.

Was there a skirmish?

None, sir.

All right.

Junsa.

Do you not wish to return home?

You may leave with your Wae compatriots

if you wish.

The commanders may be unaware,

but the soldiers know by instinct

that to return home,

the war must be over.

Once the war is completely over,

I shall do as you say.

- Stop. - Stop!

You are not even wielding your family's sword.

How dare you try to deceive me?

I have already heard

from other prisoners.

After you fought in the second invasion,

you passed through Asan in Chungcheong

and came all the way here.

I heard you passed through Asan, Chungcheong, on your way.

Surely, you know what I mean.

Tell me

exactly what you have done in Asan.

Did they truly murder Admiral Yi's son?

They confessed the deed, did they not?

They even mentioned the exact location.

In that case, should we not inform Admiral Yi

and have them beheaded?

No.

For now, keep it a secret.

Commander.

Former commander Yang Hu sends intelligence from Ming.

Dear Commander Chen Lin,

the Wae leader Hideyoshi died a few months ago.

By the time this letter reaches you,

the Wae forces in Joseon will know of this fact as well.

Liu Ting was bribed by Konishi.

Contrary to his reports,

Liu Ting did not join in the battle.

Wae forces were ordered to withdraw from Joseon.

No wonder Liu Ting stopped his attacks on land.

Konishi must have told him himself.

Liu Ting was aware of the withdrawal

and deliberately chose to avoid damage

as he considered the war to already be over.

Already over, you say?

The attack on four fronts.

The joint attack on land and sea was supposed to destroy the enemy.

And yet,

none of the attacks were successful.

The enemy still occupies Suncheon Fortress.

I ordered Admiral Yi to join the attack.

So, why did he fail to capture Konishi?

Your Majesty.

Please quell your anger.

Hideyoshi is no more.

The archipelago abroad will fall into chaos.

The Wae forces will hasten back to their homeland.

The war is won.

Your diplomacy secured the arrival of Ming forces,

which enabled this victory.

I believe it is for the best,

as opposed to Admiral Yi retaking Suncheon Fortress.
