That's the only area we haven't searched.
It's about here.
Shouldn't we tell the others?
And we have no weapons.
Let's find the nuke first.
We'll see what we can do afterwards.
What?
He's from a rebel family?
Yes, for the standards of this era.
His grandfather was involved in this revolution.
But it didn't succeed so that he was stigmatized.
So his family was banned from the civil service test.
LEE's father lived his entire life as a prodigal.
At the age of 18,
LEE learned about the family history.
So he took a military test but didn't make it.
I got it! I got it!
The comet's cycle is 433 years.
1572 minus 433 is 1139.
There are some records on comets in this book that LEE gave me.
I worked out the halfway year of the year 2005 and 1139...
and figured out the time of its comeback.
They use lunar calendar in this era.
You think I'm stupid?
If it were the solar one, I would've found out long ago.
When's it coming back?
In 4 days.
4 days?
Yes?
To where?
I don't know that yet.
Without knowing that, there's no use.
What if we have to stay till the Japanese invasion?
We should thank him.
Keep up a good work, sir.
Sit down, asshole.
When are you going back home?
I'm not.
You're quite different from what I imagined.
Yet, I trust you.
Don't. I don't even trust myself.
You're frustrated for failing the military test.
But you'll overcome it.
It's not your fault after all.
Your grandfather...
And the way your father lived his life...
Bring that up again, and I'll kill you!
What's up?
Major, don't worry.
He's to be a great general.
He's nothing but a tool of the reactionaries.
What?
A reactionary?
Gen. LEE is a reactionary?
Watch it, asshole!
Let go, you puppets for Yankees!
What'd you just say?
Puppets for Yankees!
Got a problem?
Watch your damn mouth, you Red!
A Red?!
Yeah, you freaking Reds!
Son of a...
Sit down, Comrade.
Gen. LEE is a hero concocted
by South Korean government.
You North Koreans are experts at making up stories.
Your Great Leader created
a grenade out of a pinecone?
Watch your mouth, asshole.
Zip it!
You talk a lot for losers
who can't even find the nuke.
Dr. KIM, we need to talk.
You're crazy!
It's gonna be the last search.
You know what happens if it goes off?
We will retrieve the nuke
with our lives.
A chance after a crisis!
This may be nothing here.
Once I go back with this, it'll bring me loads of money.
The most valuable article is...
Surprise!
What if Major finds out?
Who cares?
From now on, everybody will be calling me sir, not sergeant.
Try it.
Sir, what are you doing up this late?
General gave it to me.
This place has been vacant since the barbarians' attack.
And it'll stay that way.
And ginseng smugglers made the situation worse.
They don't value their lives, or what?
Move!
Stop disappointing me.
Let go.
Let go! No!
Let go of me!
My ginseng...
I worked so hard for them.
What's burning is not ginseng,
but your rotten spirit.
Who do you think you are, ruining my future?
A thief has no future!
You don't know shit.
You like money that much?
Sure!
It will help change my fate.
You wanna change your fate?
Then pass the military test and become a general!
It doesn't matter what I am in this rotten world.
Whatever I do, it makes no difference!
This shit hole is where I belong.
I couldn't care less about the others.
But you...
You can't be like that, LEE Soonshin!
WON, go after him.
Yes, sir.
Are you okay?
Why did you...
I'm screwed. The deal is tomorrow.
Nothing works out for me.
What?
The moon is so bright.
"Alone out at night The moon shining so brightly"
"In grief with a long sword worn at the waist"
"The pipe heard from far rending my heart"
Pretty good. Who wrote it?
Do me a favor.
I'm 25 years old.
You're 3 years older.
Can I call you brother?
You're so silly. Sure.
Brother!
Why not letting your brother read your palm?
You know how?
You were born under a lucky star.
You'll pass the military test in 4 years.
I will?
Let me assure you. You're to be a great general.
I'll become a general?
Not in a million years. Forget it.
I mean it.
Cut it out.
You will.
You'll become a great general and save the nation.
And if you listen to me,
you can live a lot longer.
During Noryang Sea Battle...
Noryang...
Watch and learn.
It'll come in handy, son.
Stop!
Tell us where your men are, and we'll kill you painlessly.
What are you talking about? Speak Korean.
Here.
What are your weapons? Where are you from?
I'd like to know that, too, you barbarian!
Bring her!
Tell us where they are,
and she will live.
Okay, let her go first.
Only then I'll take you to them.
Bye, Kiddy!
If you don't honor your word...
You'll end up like her.
Easier than I thought.
Keep this as a sign of conquest.
I can't believe this. What the hell happened?
So? This is the last tent.
Sergeant?
No.
Were we wrong?
Leave it to us.
Take the general and go.
It's supposed to start ticking when 100 meters away from me...
and stop when I push this.
But...
It's not working.
The time travel must've affected the timer.
It just moved! Did you see that?
What do you mean?
I saw that.
What was it set for?
10 minutes.
Then it means it's been 5 minutes and 15 seconds.
It's been 5 days since we came here.
Time has never stopped.
It did.
Look at it closely.
It's going so slow, but 5 minutes have passed.
The difference of places and time is
creating an absolute time difference.
We've been here for 5 days.
And 5 minutes have passed on the timer.
A day is equivalent to 1 minute.
The comet is coming back in 3 days.
And we have about 4 minutes left on the timer.
It gives us one extra day.
Let me assure you. You're to be a great general.
Pass the military test and become a general.
You'll become a great general and save the nation.
A thief has no future!
LEE Soon-shin!
Attention!
Sault to the deceased!
At ease!
Help us seek revenge.
Are you nuts?
You're putting everybody in grave danger!
We'll hit the barbarians.
Please, help us.
That girl had no parents.
The barbarians had killed them.
What have we done wrong to deserve this?
Run now, and you'll live.
They have no place to go.
Otherwise, they wouldn't be here.
I feel sorry, but we're not heavenly soldiers.
Ask the local army for help.
They couldn't care less about lowly lives like us.
To them, we're human shields for the rich.
Heavenly Soldiers!
We are... Fine, let's do this.
It doesn't seem feasible that we strike them first.
It's out of the question.
They're in no shape to fight them.
We need to train them first.
We don't have time for that.
We might get attacked anytime soon.
What do you suggest?
It's your job to find out.
We need to talk.
I wonder what goes on in your damn head.
You stole the nuke and put Gen. LEE in jeopardy!
This is a chance to change our shameful history!
My job is to retrieve the nuke.
Nothing else!
You damn reactionary!
You goddamn Red!
Gentlemen, stop swearing.
You're not enemies, are you?
Our chances are very slim even if we stand together.
And why keep fighting?
We have to stop them
before they enter Delta Zone.
If we fail to do so, we don't have a shot.
We're outnumbered.
And not enough ammo. Guerilla warfare is the answer.
Those barbarians are welltrained cavalrymen.
Guerilla warfare would be like a suicide.
We can at least try. You never know.
A great warrior should know ahead of time.
There are only two routes into this village.
Here, and through this gorge.
The river gets violent at this point.
The village chief says...
that they've never taken this route before.
We ambush here.
We'll hit them and retreat.
They're aggressive enough to follow us.
If that's the case...
This will be their graveyard.
The terrain here is rough,
and the trail is narrow.
No more than 10 at a time can pass through.
If we take them
by surprise at this gorge...
we can beat them off.
This is the strategy he uses in years to come.
But they're strong.
Expect some casualties on our side.
A little more. Wait.
Go back a bit.
God, 2 seconds moved at a time.
It's moving faster.
It means that the comet is traveling faster.
But why?
When?
The comet's path has changed due to Jupiter's gravity.
It's tomorrow.
You know where it's coming?
I figured out the closest point of contact.
Not far from here.
What are we gonna do?
We pack up and go home.
If we're gone, what about the barbarians?
They're not our problem.
I fee sorry for the villagers, but it's their destiny.
We have to go back.
What are our chances?
Of course, it's risky.
It's a 50/50 chance.
If I calculated wrong,
we might be stuck here forever.
I'll be sentenced to death if I get caught.
What are you doing?
Why are you digging a grave?
None of your business. Get out of here.
You're robbing the grave?
You've completely gone insane.
Shut up and beat it!
You like money that much?
Hell yeah!
You know how much I get paid?
I'm married with 3 kids.
My paycheck doesn't go very far.
You'll know when you have kids.
I won't tell your boss on you.
Just leave.
The nuke...
You take it back.
You're not going back?
I know there's an order to kill me.
Don't worry about it.
Take care of my men.
I dragged them into this.
This is the last present I'm giving you.
The last present?
We're going back today where we belong.
Get on this horse and go home.
You want me to run?
What do you mean you're going back?
Don't chicken out now!
Take him home. Yes, sir.
Giddyup!
You're too great to die now.
I can't let that happen.
He's on his way home.
I guess he isn't to die here.
Where's Major KANG?
It's begun.
Come on, Sergeant!
I'm with you.
Sangwook...
You're too young to die.
I should've known when Major gave me this.
Protect Dr. KIM with you life, okay?
Stop putting on a show and hop on.
I got that for you.
Don't worry. I didn't steal it.
Sell that and live happily with your family.
That son of a bitch!
With this, my family won't need my paycheck.
Tell my wife that I'm really sorry.
What's going on here?
It's a 50/50 chance, right?
You've been good to me. Thanks.
I'll see to it that
LEE becomes the general.
CHOI, wait up!
CHOI!
What about the others?
We don't need them any more.
Attention!
Salute to General LEE!
Major KANG Minkil, DPRK!
Sergeant CHOI!
Sergeant LEE, Special Forces, ROK Navy!
Major PARK Jungwoo!
It's our great honor to serve you, Gen. LEE.
At ease!
I'll be right with you.
What are you doing?!
Show no mercy!
Anyone trying to get past me will end up like him.
Thanks, Comrade.
If you die on me...
I'll kill you!
Comrade! Comrade!
Sons of bitches!
I can't believe what I heard.
Handing over the nuke...
Can't you reconsider it?
That's impossible.
They protected our country with their lives.
What have we done?
It was their choice.
Shrine for Gen. LEE Soonshin
I heard he just got out of jail.
He must've gone insane.
Does he really think he can win?
1597.9.16 the Straits of Myungryang
Don't be scared. We'll win.
"They're too many. We're all gonna die."
I know this is what you're thinking.
But don't be afraid.
If we stand together,
nothing can stop us.
And here we are together.
For our country and the future of our descendents...
let's die meaningful deaths!
Death comes only to those who fear it!
Charge!
