Kishokai members must be willing to sacrifice their lives for the Emperor of Japan.

Not expressed with a pen, with your head, or words.

But with your sword, blood, and life.

You must show your loyalty.

Kimura Shunji, are you prepared?

Yes!

Katsuyama.

Swear with your blood.

As you all know, it was for killing Gaksital

that I was specially appointed to this position.

However, on the day I received my appointment,

Gaksital, who was supposed to be dead, appeared.

If you can't accept me as your superior, speak up now.

Good. I swear upon my dead brother's honor, Gaksital will definitely die by my hands.

- Sergeant Goiso. - Yes sir.

Starting with his chauffeur, investigate where President Jo was during the incident.

Yes sir.

Takeda and Detective Takao.

Yes sir.

Search the rickshaw company thoroughly.

Find out who, when, and where President Jo got a ride.

Yes sir.

Abe.

Yes sir.

You ran away from Gaksital when he was right in front of you?

I will accept any punishment you give me.

Abe Shinji, you are demoted. The Chief orders that for 18 months your salary stays the same.

I will never dishonor the police force again!

In place of the officers who failed to watch the Far East Circus members,

Abe and Lieutenant Sato will monitor them.

What?

Understood.

I hope all of you will do your duty.

Dismissed.

Yes sir.

Abe was right.

You'll just be watching the circus members.

With Captain Shunji's appointment, your life is beginning to blossom.

Lieutenant!

I'm sorry about yesterday.

- The Chief ordered it... - Sato Hiroshi!

From now on, don't come in this freely.

Shunji.

Shunji?

Shunji?

I'm sorry, Captain Kimura.

Remember, Sato Hiroshi, I'm your superior.

From now on I will not bring my personal feelings to work.

So, Captain, do not exclude me from cases because of your personal feelings.

From now on, Sato Hiroshi, you are no longer working on the Gaksital case.

Unless there is a command otherwise, watch the circus troupe 24 hours a day.

Did you hear what I said?

Watch them 24 hours?

So you are telling me not to come to the office.

Understood.

I thought I was going to get kicked out.

If one gets fired, they don't give you any pension.

I was so worried.

Why is Teacher Shunji... I mean, Captain Shunji acting like that?

Making veteran officers stand guard during this emergency.

Stop the car.

What? Where are you going?

You go on ahead. I'll follow after.

Hurry back.

Shunji is planning to investigate the rickshaw company.

For now, I think it would be best not to go to downtown Gyeongseong.

Everyone is going desperate searching for Gaksital.

Will you be all right like you said, Young Master?

Don't worry.

To them, I am just Lee Kang To.

In the newspaper, Kimura Shunji said he would risk his own life to catch Gaksital.

That guy is the only friend I have.

When Hyung was arrested and I didn't know what to do, he was the one who helped me.

Young Master.

Will you really be all right?

It has already been started.

I must take it to the end.

It will end only when I have caught him with my own hands.

So, do you have a plan to catch that punk?

Since we pursue Gaksital after he appears, we always lose him.

So, are you good at setting traps?

We need to create a person whom Gaksital would want to kill.

Someone he wants to kill?

Gaksital only appears to Kishokai members who harass Joseon people.

Even President Jo, who was humiliated by Gaksital,

tricked Joseon people into depositing their money by promising high interest rates.

Thanks to this, Joseon people consider him a parasite sucking their blood.

But the punk let President Jo live.

If he harasses Joseon people again, even though Gaksital let him live before,

he will show himself to President Jo again.

President Jo, under the name Hirozawa Gonsuke, set up "Joseon Business."

What project have you assigned him in Jongro?

I don't want to interfere with what you are doing.

I have only one goal: to catch Gaksital.

After President Jo sweeps Jongro Market clear,

in that location Chairman Ueno's Asuka Department Store will be built.

This time, Gaksital will end President Jo's life.

It really works. You really look like a different person.

They threaten me?

The guru of finance, President Jo?

Wait and see, Masako.

How I mutilate those punks' noses and buttholes, wait and see.

So good! That's like honey. Honey!

A drink as sweet as this, it's been a while!

I'm even happier than when my grandson was born.

Only happy? I felt so full after I saw Gaksital alive!

My rice jar is empty but I feel so full!

Everyone! Let's make a toast!

Until we get rid of the Japanese, to Gaksital!

Mail, mail! Oh, everyone is here.

That's great.

Bae Man Seong.

- Shim Choon Bok. - Oh, you got something too.

Kim Deok Soo.

Here.

Have a good day.

[Crime, Acquisition of Stolen Goods]

What is this about?

Paying a fine for the crime of receiving stolen goods?

Stolen goods? Stolen goods? What crime is that?

That time, Gaksital stole money from Jo-Il Bank and gave it to us.

Well! That was our money we deposited with the bank but couldn't take back.

They took it all.

Even the money chests!

I knew they released us too easily, those punks!

- Deok Soo! Stop my son! - Hey, Deok Soo!

Deok Soo! Don't do it! No!

Let go.

Let go! They are telling us to pay a fine for receiving stolen goods!

Land tax, house tax, labor tax, market tax, business tax, cleaning tax!

They sucked out all our blood and now they are telling us to die, Mother!

No! If you go wrong, then I die too!

Your mom will die too!

If anyone committed a crime, it is the bank who didn't pay us back!

And the punks who tricked these poor people!

What did I do wrong, that I have to pay this fine?

It's too unfair. I can't live anymore.

Loan service! Loan service! Loan service! Loan service!

What is this?

They're giving out loans?

[Immediate, Same Day Secure Loans]

Loan service! Loan service!

I've distributed them all.

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Abe Shinji, you are an Imperial Police Officer.

As you all know, the traitor Gaksital has appeared again.

So our Jongro Station is in a state of high alert.

As of today, together with Lieutenant Lee Kang To,

I, Abe Shinji, will take responsibility for all of you.

Take responsibility?

Just the two of you?

Lieutenant Lee Kang To is very skillful.

Even though he is skillful, there are so many girls here.

One, two, three, four..., countless!

Including me there are about a hundred girls.

How can you two young men take responsibility?

Tell me in detail.

Don't be embarrassed and tell us.

That's not what I mean.

Dong Nyun, why are you teasing this innocent boy?

By the way, how are you doing where Jang Soo bit you?

A few days ago Jang Soo was bitten by a crazy dog.

Right.

He was bitten by a crazy dog?!

Yes, but if you fry dog's hair in sesame oil and eat it,

I heard you can be cured from rabies.

- It works right away. - Right away!

Right away... He was really bitten by a crazy dog?!

Let's see the scar.

It's on my leg!

My leg! Look! He bit it so hard!

I can't die!

Won't it get infected?

What do we do?

My mom, our Lieutenant, who is going to take care of them?

We might have to amputate your leg.

I can't die! My mom! Mother!

Mother! Mom! Mom!

Asuka Hotel.

Are they not picking up?

What do we do?

This is a big problem.

Leader Damsari will come to meet you tonight.

Of all people, Lee Kang To would recognize my father.

This won't do. I'm going to the hotel.

If you are not here, Troupe Leader, it is going to be obvious.

Even if you go to the hotel it doesn't mean you'll meet my dad.

I will go. I will tell them.

You'll go to the hotel?

Nonsense! That's telling everyone where Leader Damsari is.

There are people who came with my father at the Gyeongseong inn.

If I give them the message...

Yes, that would do.

You should be able to contact them, right?

I'll be back, Troupe Leader.

Come back before Lee Kang To gets here.

Where are you going?

With a bundled pack?

I'm not running away. So don't worry about it.

Don't you know I'm in charge of watching your circus?

I asked, where are you going?

The inn.

Inn?

I'm going there to do laundry for the members. It's my turn today.

Let go! Let go! Aren't you letting go?

I have to go do laundry.

Let's go then. Did I tell you not to?

Aren't you going to Gyeongseong Inn?

I'm watching you 24 hours a day, didn't you hear?

Officer... Officer.

I heard Mok Dan was released, so I thought she wasn't charged.

Do you want me to kick her out?

President, don't worry, I haven't been charged.

Since Gaksital has appeared, he is just following me.

F- f-following?

Well, are those peddlers from Incheon out?

Of course they went out.

Troupe Leader Jo asked me to buy some clothes for the circus.

So when they come back, let me know.

Okay.

It's hot, right?

President Song.

Yes?

I know the needs of a man's throat and belly drive his conscience, but still...

"Do you want me to kick her out?"

Don't do that to your own Joseon people.

What?

Yes, I'll keep that in mind.

What? Your own Joseon people?

I just... that knife. I came for that knife.

Knife? You came to get this?

Are you kidding...

Why do you have this?

I gave this to Boon Yi.

Just stay alive. If you stay alive, I will find you.

Really? You will really find me?

Hey! Can't you hurry up?

Why are you so slow?!

If you trick me again, you're going to die!

Hey, move.

You said you are a mask changer, but you are a servant.

By which millennium will you finish washing these one by one?

Really?

Yeah right, you might as well say the sun rose in the west today.

I too, am a journalist who reports the truth.

I'm telling you, I deliberately published that article.

Gaksital came back alive. Of course we had to publish a huge story!

Even when other newspapers wouldn't mention a word,

afraid of the Police Bureau's Library Department (enforced censorship), and you published?

Reporter Park, you were drinking the day it was edited, weren't you?

I swear you are a ghost with supernatural powers. Supernatural.

Still, keep insisting all the way to the very end, that you deliberately published it.

Wait. Who is this, who can see to the bottom of a heart,

Tasha, Angel Club's Madame?

Shall I delve into the depths of your consciousness?

What if you can't get out afterwards?

Madame, a customer asked me to give this to you.

Who'd send me this sort of thing?

Escort the guest to the VIP room.

Who is it?

What, did you receive a love letter or something?

Butt out. When she runs a club this size at such a young age,

don't you think she has a sponsor or two?

Of course. Could it possibly be just one or two?

Please sit.

They call me Tasha. I've been waiting for the day I receive a blank letter.

I understood that if we gave you a blank letter, we'd receive a gift from Master Yang Baek.

He is a friend who is helping me.

Don't worry.

I'm a huge fan of Master Yang Baek of the Korean Patriotic League,

who leads the special forces and strikes fear into Japanese hearts.

Whenever you need my help, just ask me.

Thank you.

Don't mention it.

[Jongro Police Station Blueprints]

Fortunately, a few years ago, Jongro Police Station built an extension.

Thanks to that, the building plans were easy to find.

Thank you.

But, why do you need Jongro Station's blueprints?

Comrade. For your own safety, you shouldn't ask questions.

Yes.

Does Detective Lee Kang To from Jongro Station, still come frequently?

Of course.

He comes here as frequently as a rat goes into a rice barn... But why Lee Kang To?

Comrade!

You don't think they're going to kill Lee Kang To, do you?

Who knows? That would depend on Lee Kang To's fate.

Sato Hiroshi!

Yes sir.

The punk will definitely show up again.

24 hours a day, watch Oh Mok Dan closely.

Didn't you hear me?

I understand.

President. I need to go somewhere before sunset.

Before the sun sets, where?

No. It's not that!

You just said that.

You need to go somewhere before sunset.

What are you talking about?

Are you really going to follow me around like this?

Even if you are ordered to watch me 24 hours a day,

are you going to follow me without letting me breathe?

Hey. Peddlers.

Are you talking to me?

Oh Mok Dan!

Stop right there!

Are you all right?

Are you hurt anywhere?

Thank you.

Thank you for being alive.

Although you saved my life many times,

I never said thank you.

I was really worried I would never have a chance to say it.

When the newspapers said you were dead, I couldn't believe it.

I searched for you the whole day at Dead Man's Crag.

Then, this... I found it.

Because of it, I now know who you are.

It doesn't matter if you are the Young Master or not.

Whether you are the Young Master who told me he would find me if I were alive.

All Joseon people and me, because of you, because of Gaksital...

We are all finding strength to endure life.

Thank you.

Truly, thank you.

My father wants to meet you.

My father, like you, is fighting the Japanese.

He says he really needs your help.

This once... This once, can you meet my father?

The coffee shop of Asuka Hotel, President Choi Tae Gon...

When and where my father can meet,

you can leave a note.

Please, this once, help my father.

It's difficult. Of all people, Lee Kang To is watching her 24 hours a day.

How could Mok Dan meet Gaksital?

Even if she met him, there is no guarantee that he will respond favorably.

Would he reveal his identity so easily if he is working behind a mask?

We need to be prepared for Gaksital not helping us.

If, Gaksital doesn't help us, Lee Kang To...

Hello?

It's me.

Good, are you all right?

Yes, don't worry about me.

I gave him your message.

You relayed it?

He should be contacting you soon.

Good job, thanks.

Be careful.

All right. You too.

Did she give the message?

Master. Half our mission is accomplished.

Comrade Jeok Pa, show me the floor plans.

This is the armory of Jongro Police Station.

On the day we attack, if Gaksital appears and lures the officers...

Our chance of success will be greater.

We must gather the weapons, so that we can set off a bomb at the commemoration.

My father, like you, is fighting the Japanese.

He says he really needs your help.

This once... this once, can you meet my father?

It is nearly complete now.

As you can see, there are only a few places remaining.

When Jo-Il Bank went bankrupt, I was afraid our source of money was gone.

But you thought of using Jongro Market.

Father is very pleased.

I'll accept the praise when everything is done.

This time, I think we will catch both rabbits.

Since Captain Kimura Shunji is keeping a close eye on President Jo,

Gaksital will be caught, and Jongro Market will become ours...

Yes sir.

Please hold on.

It is the Tokyo headquarters.

I am speaking.

Chairman, it's Rie from Gyeongseong.

It is I.

Father, Jongro Market is about to fall into our hands.

Today, we plan on getting bills of sale from the few remaining shopkeepers.

You are being careless!

Have you forgotten that even when you play against a beginner,

you must act like you are playing against a master in order to win.

I'm sorry, I was excited for a moment.

What have you accomplished in Gyeongseong?

Are you still playing hide-and-seek with Gaksital?

Konno Goji is still doing well!

If you fail in this, you'll have to go back to being Chae Hong Joo.

Until the day I die, no, even after I die and become bone,

I will be Ueno Rie, your daughter.

Did you have to scold the miss so harshly?

If you want to control a person's feelings, you must take advantage of their weaknesses.

Rie's weakness is that she is still a Joseon person.

The Chairman has ordered us to complete this task without mistake.

No matter what, we must get Jongro Market and Gaksital's life.

I understand.

Here it is.

If I pay the interest on time, or pay back the loan, you will give the bill back, right?

Of course!

We are taking the bills of sale as back-up, just in case you can't pay the interest.

No need to worry.

My son would rather go to prison and pay the fine with hard labor.

But even healthy people come out dead after prison labor.

Of course!

He has a way out, why should he go to jail?

If you pay the simple interest fee on time nothing happens.

Just place your seal here.

Here.

Thank you, thank you, President!

Who are you?

You scared me.

It's me, President.

What are you doing?

What are you doing, that Joseon people are coming in and out all day?

You don't need to know. There's no need for the likes of you to know.

Since you are acting like this, there's something I have to tell Chief Kimura.

What. W-wh-what?

The day President Jo came to me and asked me to find his secret account books.

I understand. All right.

Sit here.

I'll tell you everything. So please don't mention the secret books.

You know I keep my promises.

All right.

[Joseon Enterprises]

Why would Lee Kang To show up at President Jo's office?

Even in disguise?

Didn't I tell you to watch Oh Mok Dan around the clock?

You want me to just stand guard?

Don't you know how much I want to catch that guy?

I removed you from the case. Do you want to get demoted?

Leave the Gaksital case to me, and remove yourself.

What?

Do you think you really can catch Gaksital?

You who has been wearing the uniform only a week?

Even though five thousand veteran officers tried every day,

for three years they couldn't catch Damsari.

I caught him in three months.

Are you telling me,

you're going to catch the punk who caused me trouble for months?

You're right. Because you're so capable, I thought you could catch Gaksital.

However, you aren't on my side anymore.

Also, you are with Konno who is trying to kill my dad.

How can Konno's hands and feet be my friend Lee Kang To?

Now I know.

Why Kenji told me, when I was defending you, that I was holding a knife to Father's throat.

Now I know.

All right.

Maybe, from the beginning, you and I were never meant to be friends.

If the moment comes when I hold a knife to your father's throat, don't hesitate.

Why?

Why did you get rid of those precious gold mines?

While I was on vacation in Manchuria with my wife,

I felt bad about the amount of land just sitting there.

I'm thinking about going to Manchuria to build a school.

A school?

The Japanese Empire will rule China in the future.

Supplying provisions will become very important.

What does supplying provisions have to do with building a school?

I'll build an agriculture school to develop improved varieties of rice.

It's nothing big, but it is serving the empire, isn't it?

Oh my, oh, oh.

How did you come up with such a great idea?

Oh yes.

While closing down some gold mines, I found some wild ginseng.

Wild ginseng?

It's for you, Count, you who works so hard for the nation. A small gift.

You didn't have to...

According to the farmer it is at least 50 years old.

Well, our Count has been suffering from headaches, toothache, indigestion and insomnia.

Honey, honey.

Since ginseng is used to cure many diseases, you needn't worry anymore.

To the Governor-General, so dedicated to Joseon,

as a patriot, I'd like to present a gift from my heart.

Could my wife and I attend the Unification Commemoration Ceremony?

Only high ranking government officials and Gyeongseong's VVIPs have been invited, but...

Since your loyalty to the Empire is strong,

our Count should be able to get you an invitation, yes?

Well, well now...

Thanks to you, I suppose the Governor-General will be rejuvenated.

If you like, I can supply you with wild ginseng until you feel like a 28-year old young man.

Where would I put all that?

Oh, stop...

One cup of coffee.

Lieutenant.

What? What is all this ruckus?

Tonight, all the officers except us are going to Geumhwa Pavilion.

Even if he told us to watch the circus troupe, how can they have a gathering without us?

At Geumhwa Pavilion!

Geumhwa Pavilion?

We are watching the circus troupe and working so hard...

Enough!

Go on ahead.

Yes.

Yes, Masako.

Do you have time tonight?

Of all days, today?

I can't tonight.

Why not?

Is something up?

President Jo has gotten bills of sale from all the stores in the market.

So Chief Kimura is coming to congratulate him.

Oh really? That's too bad.

Bingo.

Attention!

Sergeant Goiso, did you spread the rumor?

By now, the market should be in turmoil. Hear for yourself.

Tell the Captain the truth.

I told the people in the market what Detective Koiso told me to.

That President Hirozawa Gonsuke of Joseon Business, is President Jo of Jo-Il Bank.

And everyone who borrowed money will be kicked out.

I shouldn't have listened to that person!

I was crazy.

What are we going to do?

We were tricked! Tricked again!

Didn't I tell you not to go?!

They will sell your bone marrow.

A hundred times..., no! A thousand times I told you not to go!

We didn't even know that. And we gave that punk bills of sale!

Sergeant Goiso, is everything prepared?

Don't worry.

I've prepared the best swordsmen.

You have worked hard.

Now... I... can't live in Joseon.

As promised, you must help me find a position so that I can live in Japan.

Don't worry about it.

The Chairman will take care of that.

Then, I will trust you. Let me get the bills of sale.

[Bill of Sale]

I spared you once. How could you suck the blood of the people again?

I will give you this...

J- j-just spare my life.

There will be karmic retribution.

Though there may be a delay, one will always have to pay for one's crimes.

I have come to punish you for your evil deeds!

It's been a while, Gaksital.

You still haven't come to your senses?

You know the shortcut you need to catch Gaksital, don't you?

What do you think Hyung would do?

He would have helped even if his identify could be revealed, right?

I may have to suck up to that punk.

I need to make that punk stand by my side.

Kang To, will you help me?

It will be hard by myself.

That girl who is connected to Gaksital, is in love with Lee Kang To?

No matter how I think about it, it is strange.

How did he? Could he, be Gaksital?

Lee Kang To?
