Bingo.

It's a pleasure, Gaksital.

You slippery son of a bitch.

You thought you'd slip out again this time?

You took hostages, to save the lives of Joseon people?

You think you're some sort of hero?!

People like you who go running around like that in the name of patriotism,

should be killed off.

Kang To. Kang To, it's me.

It's your brother. Your brother.

Ah. There's quite a lot I'm waiting to hear from you, isn't there?

Why you killed Choi Myung Sub.

And how he's related to Kimura Taro.

Let's behave nicely and go.

Did you... just save me?

Why would you?

Why would you save...

Who are you?

Who are you?

Take it off. Take off the mask, you punk!

Young master, are you okay?

Don't worry, he's just unconscious.

Quickly. Quickly, let's flee.

Young master, quickly!

Why don't you just tell Kang To the truth?

[Baek Gun - Warrior, Lee Sun's Guard] Why don't you just tell Kang To the truth?

Why don't you just tell Kang To the truth?

If he hears of how your father died...

If he knows, do you think Kang To will be on our side?

If he knows that I'm Gaksital,

Kang To will try to arrest me.

Pretending to my mom to be retarded when I'm not, is shameful enough.

How can I let Mother watch him arrest me?

I can't do it.

Maybe, he could join our side.

Even if he did,

do you think Kang To could help us?

Kang To would just be in danger.

Kang To would only be confused.

As long as Kang To doesn't give up trying to catch Gaksital,

you will encounter him again.

I feel that I have given you too heavy a burden.

What are you talking about?

Jailor! Jailor!

If you had not found me,

not being able to endure the torture,

and pretending to have gone mad to get released,

I wouldn't have been able to forgive myself.

Thanks to you, my pretending to be stupid,

instead of merely serving the purpose of saving my own life,

became a way to avenge my father,

and aid the cause of freedom.

Young Master.

Don't worry.

Even if I were to run into Kang To again, I will not die.

Of course. You must not die.

So far I've only punished Choi Myung Sub and Lee Gong.

I need to hurry before Kang To catches on.

Since Kang To is frantic to find you, you had better stay here and rest.

Woo Byung Joon mentioned Father's name.

It's only a matter of time before they work out who I am.

How did they figure it out already?

[Haenam Poisoning Case Investigation receives Government-General's Commendation]

[Newspaper President's Congratulatory Editorial on His Majesty's Birthday]

[Jo-Il Bank Savings Accounts, Safe with Higher Interest Rates]

[Count Lee Si Yong donates 70,000 pyeong land to Government-General for Eastern Peace]

[Geumhwa Pavilion]

Gaksital's target is definitely the five of us.

The five who betrayed Lee Sun.

What do you mean by 'betray'?

Lee Sun was the one who was a traitor.

However, that night we broke our promise to Lee Sun.

That's the undeniable truth.

[13 years ago, Gyeongseong] Finally, the day has come.

[13 years ago, Gyeongseong] After midnight,

After midnight,

I will escort Emperor Gojong across the border.

[Lee Sun - Head of Gojong's Secret Service] I will escort Emperor Gojong across the border.

[Lee Sun - Head of Gojong's Secret Service] If you could just escort His Majesty

to the Yalu River safely,

Kwon Su Jung and his men will guard

and escort His Majesty to Peking.

All right.

When the emperor arrives safely in Peking,

my newspaper will publish a feature story.

Thank you.

Without fail, Emperor Gojong

must be escorted successfully out of the country,

and the will of 20 million Joseon people for independence must be reflected.

To that end,

[Lee Si Yong - Current Privy Council Advisor, Count] To that end,

[Lee Si Yong - Current Privy Council Advisor, Count] do your very best to complete this mission.

I will faithfully and devotedly do everything in my power.

Sir. We must retreat.

We should have followed and killed those punks then.

What's the point of regretting it now. We should have a plan. A plan!

Don't get too nervous.

Even if I have to use every single officer at Jongro Station,

I will protect all of you.

This... is nonsense!

Is that all you will do?

He killed Choi Myung Sub in the heavily guarded court house.

At Lee Gong's funeral which was also heavily guarded, he slashed Lee Gong's banner.

Your lives will be protected by Kishokai!

Yes sir.

Konno is looking for you, Chief.

Konno is...? This late?

Sasaki... is dead.

[Joseon Chungdokbu (Government-General Building)]

Do you think this makes sense?!

He was arrested for attempted murder!

[Commissioner's Office] He was arrested for attempted murder!

[Commissioner's Office] He escaped prison

and attacked Lee Kang To?

I will punish the party responsible.

Is such punishment enough?

He is the officer I, Konno Goji, personally assigned to the case.

But he tried to kill him, twice!

[Konno Goji - Police Commissioner] But he tried to kill him, twice!

[Konno Goji - Police Commissioner] This is

definitely an act of defiance against me.

Defiance?

Please don't jump to conclusions.

There is no evidence that Sasaki tried to kill Lee Kang To...

Choi Myung Sub. Lee Gong. Kimura Taro!

How are you related to Gaksital?

I don't understand what you are trying to say.

From now on, if you interfere with Lee Kang To's investigation,

I will not sit still.

Also, I will not tolerate any false accusation that he is working with Gaksital.

This is your last warning.

Any fraud in this police station,

I, Konno, will get rid of it all.

Lieutenant Kang To. Make sure you are the one to catch Gaksital. Understand?

I understand! I will undoubtedly catch Gaksital.

Life, I have never said I love you

What is he so afraid of that he only looks?

When a flower blooms in my heart

Then my love will be shown to the world. The crazy love song...

Why would you save me? Who are you to save me?

Let's go up.

Okay.

Oppa is a street singer

Oppa is a grumpy person

I don't know I don't know

He steals all my side dishes

I don't know

He eats all the bulgogi and ddukbokki by himself

If it's pickles or bean sprouts then he gives them to me

Oppa is a greedy person

Oppa! Where are you going?

Hey! Hey! Kang To. What's wrong?

I'm sorry for ruining it.

Don't stress out.

For you it's probably really stressful.

But because of Gaksital, your boring life is like an spectacular action movie.

Spectacular action movie?

Enjoy it. Enjoy it.

Villains will always get caught.

Hae Seok, every Joseon person from three year old toddlers to 80 year olds...

You know that they all want to kill me.

But, what if I were in danger and someone saved me?

Who would that be?

If they aren't your family, who would do that?

Family?

Unless they were flesh and blood. Who...

Kang To.

It was you?

It was you, Hyung?

Let me see this!

Let me see!

Stop it!

Why are you doing this?

You're scaring me!

Let me see your clothes!

Mom! Mother!

You punk! Just kill me!

Kill your mother instead!

Bullet wound!

I just need to check for a bullet wound!

It's not you, is it?

I'm scared! I'm scared!

Don't hit me!

Don't hit me! Don't hit me!

Do you feel better now?

Do you feel relieved?

Do you feel better now that you've made your brother like this?

Kang San!

Don't hit me!

Kang San!

Don't hit me!

I'm sorry! I'm sorry!

Every time you harass a Joseon person,

do you even know that they take their anger out on your brother?

Did you know that your easy target of a brother was a scapegoat for everything you did?!

I'm sorry!

It's mom. It's your mom.

Come to your senses, Kang San.

Get up. Get up.

It's okay. Calm down.

Looks nice.

You try to seduce her.

Start!

I'm sorry, Customer.

I'm sorry, Customer.

I'm sorry.

Do you know how much this is worth?

Even if I sold a guy like you, I wouldn't be able to buy a new one.

I'm sorry.

Get out of my way, punk!

If you don't mind, may I join you?

I am Reporter Park, of the Gyeongseong Daily, a newspaper reporter.

May I tell you how to make a boring trip entertaining?

Fold.

I fold too.

Fold.

What hand did you have to make you so bold?

What, one pair?

Damn!

What was yours?

Cut of your own penis, cut it off.

You fold with a flush?

Want to die?

I'm already dead.

Your promise, you need to keep it.

[Gyeongseong Station]

How is your skin so pale like white jade?

Look at the color.

Oh yes.

This suit should go to its owner. Waiter.

Yes ma'am.

This suit, take it.

What? No, how could I?

It's a suit that is more expensive than someone's life.

Isn't it worth wearing?

Hey. Give it to me.

Give it to me.

Catch her!

Captain Kimura, arrest this woman!

She was gambling in a public area and was caught red-handed.

I'm here to pick someone up.

Are you going to ignore the words of a journalist?

Are you really going to do this?

All right then.

If tomorrow morning's headlines say "detective ignores citizen's report",

it won't be my fault.

What are you doing?

He says she's a gambler!

Oh yes. I'll arrest her!

Come!

Place of birth.

Name.

Name!

He's asking for your name.

You should respond.

You don't know your name?

Or you just can't talk?

Captain.

She hasn't said a word yet.

Really?

Oh. What is this?

Lala?

Are you a singer?

Come on and sing.

I said sing one.

Ah, this won't work.

If you sang well, I would have gone easy on you.

Shall I give you a taste of the Imperial Police? Shall I?

Kenji!

Father!

Everyone out! Out!

Yes Chief!

I'm very sorry for the trouble, Miss.

What are you doing, hurry up and greet her!

She is Ueno Rie.

She's President Ueno's daughter!

Ah! Miss, I deserve to die!

Chief Kimura.

Yes! Miss, as you said...

I will tell my father that the welcoming ceremony was excellent.

Lieutenant!

Starting today, our priority is guarding VIPs.

What does that have to do with us?

Even the officers who were staking out Gyeongseong Inn have been recalled.

I was even told to guard Bank President Jo Yeong Geun.

What did you say?

Even my team?

Don't they know I'm trying to catch Gaksital!?

Abe! What are you still doing here!

Yes sir! I'll be back.

Are you ignoring Chief's orders...

Don't say a word.

One more word, and I'll shoot you in the head.

Laughing? You're laughing?

I've got this all-or-nothing fury flaring inside me. Should I just let it out?

Shall I kill a man at random and see the look on Commissioner Konno's face?

Joseon barley grows better the more you step on it.

Why don't you step on it to the end?

That punk!

Captain!

Have you ever seen a dog owner get upset by the dogs he is raising?

[Gyeongseong Inn]

Detective Lee, what brings you here?

Bingo.

I knew it would only be a matter of time before you came back here.

This is your hideout, isn't it?

Where is Gaksital?

I don't know.

You don't know.

Shall I slit the inn-keeper's throat?

Will you answer me then?

I just... I just came to get that knife.

Knife.

You came to get this?

Don't kid...

Who are you...?

Why do you have this?

I gave this to Boon Yi.

[13 years ago, Yalu River Bank near the border]

[Baek Gun - Warrior, Lee Sun's guard]

[Lee Sun - Kang To and Kang San's father]

Please help me.

Mom. Mom. Get up.

We need to go to Manchuria to find Dad.

[Lee Young - Lee Kang To's childhood name] We need to go to Manchuria to find Dad.

[Lee Young - Lee Kang To's childhood name] Get up! We need to go to Manchuria.

Get up! We need to go to Manchuria.

Father.

She looks like she is going to Manchuria too.

Can't we take her with us?

Mom. Mom.

Mom.

Here, eat this.

Ah it's good.

It's fun right.

Yes, Young Master.

What is this knife?

No, don't touch it. It's mine.

Father made it himself. He told me never to let go of this.

What's the point of having a knife? You have to be good at fighting.

I'm good at fighting.

I learned taekkyeon* from my hyung. Want to see? (*Korean martial art)

[One month later, near the Manchurian border]

Since our youngest is fooling around, your ankle must be better now.

Mom, when we get to Manchuria,

let's find Boon Yi's dad and live together.

Of course. Living in a foreign country is not easy.

You heard it right?

We're going to live together. Promise.

Promise.

Brothers! Get them!

Ambush!

Don't let them get away!

Hold on! Hold on tight.

Mom! Mom!

Get them!

Mother! Mother! Young!

Mother!

Mother! Mother!

- Mother! - Mother!

Mother!

Run away! All of you run away!

Don't let them get away!

Yes sir!

No matter what happens,

You must live. Never, you never must die.

Young Master, what are you going to do?

Boon Yi. Let's meet again soon. We must.

Where are you going? Where are you going to?

Just stay alive.

If you stay alive I will definitely find you.

Really? You will find me, right?

There he is! Get him!

Hyung!

[Lee In - Lee Kang San's childhood name]

In! In! In*!

Mother!

In!

Hyung!

We need to go back for Boon Yi. Boon Yi!

Who's Damsari?

You wench!

Get her!

Why. Are you scared? That Gaksital will get caught?

Ready arms.

You're...

You're Boon Yi.

What shall we do?

Troupe Leader.

Mok Dan!

Aigoo! I can't live like this worrying about you!

Why do you keep doing this?

After thunder, lightning will follow.

What if you get hurt doing this?

I'm sorry. But, Leader, I ran into Lee Kang To at the inn.

I just got a call from Inn-keeper Song.

Will he be okay? What if he gets into trouble because of me?

I'll take care of it. Everyone can go out now.

You'll take care of it? What can you do alone?

You're not thinking about dealing with him alone, are you?

Deal with? Kill Lee Kang To?

You're going to kill him?

There is no other way.

We can't just leave Gyeongseong*. (*name for Seoul during Japanese rule)

And we can't disband the circus.

Why can't we leave?

We're a traveling circus, so why can't we?

I can't tell you, but there is a reason why we can't leave Gyeongseong.

Team Leader.

I can't give up on the circus. Nor can I give up Mok Dan.

Are you really going to kill Lee Kang To?

Hyungnim.

When you are going to attack someone,

you should see how strong they are first.

We can do it.

However you can't do it alone, Leader.

I will help you. I will help.

Me too. I'll help too.

Me too.

Thank you.

If we all put our strength together,

even with rotten ropes, we can catch wild beasts.

Of course. We can do it.

Of course we can.

How could you be friends with a man like him?

How could you befriend someone who kills people?

This hyung... almost died of thirst in front of a well.

What are you talking about?

How can life do this to me?

What are you talking about?

It's about the girl I have to kill.

In order to catch Gaksital,

the girl I need to use as bait...

What if she were your first love?

If she were the girl you were looking for many years.

If it were you, what would you do?

But I'm still going to kill her.

If I can catch Gaksital...

That girl, I can sacrifice her.

If I can only lure him with bait,

I could use that girl, hack and pulverize her, and toss her remains all over the mountains!

You think I can't do it?

I'm Lee Kang To!

Useless feelings I had in the past... screw them all!

Oppa! Oppa! Are you okay?

Just go home.

Kang To.

My little brother.

Lee Kang To.

Are you sleeping?

No, Mother.

Did Kang To sleep at the police station last night?

Yes. Don't worry Mother.

I saw him without him knowing.

All right.

If he keeps doing this, he is going to get harassed.

I pray, I pray. To the gods, I pray.

Our Kang San, my poor child.

Help him escape this life and live like a proud firstborn of the Lee family.

Our Kang To, help him mature quickly and commit no sins.

May he also live like a proud son of the Lee family.

Please let this bad mother take all the punishment he needs to receive.

I pray, I pray to the gods.

Hyung.

Did it hurt a lot?

If someone hits you then tell me.

Whoever that punk is, I'll kill him.

Hyung, do you remember?

When you and Mom were being chased by bandits?

Father died and all the others died.

I promised her then...

I told her not to die.

I promised her I would find her.

I really thought she died.

But she's alive.

What shall I do?

I have to kill her.

I don't want to live like this.

I want to do things Mom would like.

Hyung you don't know, right.

That even a rickshaw puller has to have a backer.

Even if you work all day,

you don't even earn enough for three meals.

Get beaten.

Get beaten again.

That is how I earned your tuition money.

Once you graduated from Gyeongseong University,

I thought there would be no more hardship.

If one has no money or backer or education,

then one has no choice but to be loyal to one's enemy in order to live.

I don't know.

I don't know any way other than this.

Hyung.

Hyung.

Say something, Hyung.

Mother!

Kang To is here, Mother.

Kang To came!

Really?

Our Kang To likes mackerel.

Let's grill it and eat it for breakfast Mother!

It's really fat.

Who's going to come make it?

Kang To, let's eat breakfast.

Mom made a lot of good food.

I have to go to work.

Eat first. You need to eat before you go.

Come here. Get up. Come here.

You need to eat first.

Here.

Stop it, I'll eat by myself.

Your hyung got up early in the morning, because you like it.

Eat this. I took out all the bones.

This one too.

Here.

There are bones.

Kang To, eat mine too.

Here eat it.

Eat this too.

You eat it, I'm full.

No, you eat it. I'm eating this!

Just eat.

Let's go.

Kang To, come home early! Come play with big brother!

Stop right there!!

What the hell kind of behavior is this?!

We have to save that girl in order to catch Gaksital.

You shot her though you knew!

You shot her even though you knew she was Esther!

Lee Kang To. Lee Kang To, you say. Is this the sort of thing they call destiny?

The bastard who keeps saving that girl and also saves Lee Kang To.

The bastard who can take down Imperial Police Officers with his martial arts skill!

Unbelievable. It's you?

You're... Gaksital?
