Gaksital!

Run away!

- That way! - Yes, sir!

- You guys go that way! - Yes, sir!

He's over here!

Th-there's someone you need to meet.

Captain Kimura.

Captain!

If you take this...

and go to the spring at Jangchungdan Park,

Commander Damsari...

Go.

Hurry! Go!

It's Gaksital!

Pick him up!

Director. Director!

It's a gunshot victim.

One minute. One minute, one minute!

I just need him conscious for one minute!

- Camphor. - Yes.

[Camphor was once used in intracardiac injections to resuscitate patients.]

Who is he? Who is Gaksital?

He rescued you. Tell me who he is!

D- d-director. Director!

Who is he?!!

Just stop now.

A dying person... needs to die.

That's enough!

You bastard!!

[Gaksital]

[Episode 12]

Going forward with the plan at this point would be massive self-destruction.

Let us plan for the future and head back to headquarters for now.

Comrades, you should leave Gyeongseong immediately.

What about you, Commander?

I can't go back like this.

How can I face my comrades if I go back like this?

Even if only for the sake of captured Comrade Park,

I can't give up now.

Commander, failure is inevitable.

When have we carried out a plan only when success was certain?

Even when we knew we would fail, we fought those bastards without hesitating!

- Commander. - Commander.

Go.

Go quickly.

Gaksital.

How did you know to come here?

Then Comrade Park...

Comrade Park.

Comrade Kim, who attempted to bomb the previous emperor's palace,

and Comrade Na who tried to bomb Dongcheok (National enterprise plundering Korean resources)

both failed because the explosives were homemade.

But, we're going to rob the bastards' armory.

And until the wrath of 20 million Joseon people is mollified,

we are going to set off explosions at the Commemoration Ceremony.

The day after tomorrow is the Commemoration Ceremony,

when the bastards actually celebrate the occupation.

We must get our hands on the explosives by tomorrow night, no matter what.

If you appear at Jongro Police Station and create a distraction,

our insurrection plan will definitely succeed.

Gaksital.

Please help us.

Kang To!

Kang To. Kang To.

What happened?

What about the bastard? Did you catch him?

We lost him.

What happened to you?

I was interrogating the guy, when I was suddenly attacked.

To think we lost a guy right in our front yard, when he rushed in alone...

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

It seems like Gaksital knows the layout of our office.

He knew where to go to avoid me and where to go to lose me.

He knew precisely.

No wonder...

I always thought he slipped out too easily every time.

Are you sleeping?

No.

I really think...

I'm going to go crazy at this rate.

Today,

I killed a man.

And in the heart of this dying man,

I injected resuscitation drugs,

demanding to know who Gaksital is.

Demanding to know who the bastard is.

I kept stabbing the needle into his heart.

I feel like I'm becoming more and more like a monster.

After capturing Gaksital,

I had planned to shed the Imperial uniform immediately,

and return to teaching children.

So, I never even said goodbye to the children.

I had put on the uniform to save Mok Dan.

But, with my own hands,

I brandished a sword against Mok Dan's neck.

And had her whipped like a beast.

I don't know what I might do if I continue like this.

Kang To.

What do I do?

What should I do?

Hyung.

Shunji seems...

just like me.

When I didn't know it was you,

and so desperately wanted to catch Gaksital.

I feel like I'm looking at me during that time.

One of you is definitely Gaksital.

Turn yourself in before I count to three.

You couldn't say a thing then.

How you must have felt, just watching...

Hyung.

Someday, I suppose Shunji will also...

see the face of Gaksital, won't he?

Someday, like you, I suppose I'll also,

stand before Shunji,

and shed the mask, won't I?

No, maybe...

Even before then...

there may come a day... when I must kill Shunji.

Hyung.

I'm really...

scared.

Last night,

in order to save me,

a stranger died.

When it comes to Lee Kang To,

all the Joseon people gnash their teeth.

But, to save me,

because I was wearing the Gaksital...

to save me,

he died.

Hyung.

Will I be able to do as you did...?

To wear this... to the very end?

[Gyeongseong Inn]

Father, when this mission is accomplished, I will leave with you.

Please take me with you.

Boon.

You know what I'm involved with.

If I stay in Gyeongseong, Gaksital will be in danger.

What are you talking about? What do you mean, in danger?

If Gaksital helps you, the bastards will use me as bait again.

Granted, they'll have to get me first, but Gaksital will be in danger too.

My leaving Gyeongseong is the way to help Gaksital, Father.

Yes, for Boon's safety, it would be a good idea to take her.

If you come with me, it will be a rough road.

Will you be all right?

Of course. Whose daughter am I, after all?

She's leaving Gyeongseong?

You can come out.

Are you sure you'll be all right by yourself?

Will you be able to find the cave on your own?

Don't worry, Father.

I'll find it.

It would be wise not to say goodbye to the other troupe members.

I will only let Troupe Leader Jo know.

All right, then. I'll see you later.

Father.

Gaksital really... agreed to help you, right?

Gaksital is going to lure the officers to the Gyeongseong Daily office.

I just need to go in and retrieve the explosives.

Be careful, Father.

Thank you for helping my father.

I have now decided to leave Gyeongseong...

[Joseon Chongdokbu / Government-General Building]

In 1910, when the destiny of the Korean Empire hung on a ledge,

for the sake of peace in the east and the happiness of both countries,

the Japan-Korea Annexation Treaty was signed.

Joseon, subjugated by China for over 1,500 years,

much like a weak woman in submission to an insatiably abusive man,

is now protected by Japan with its keen love of all humanity,

and the grace of His Majesty the Emperor flows over the Joseon peninsula.

This is what you should always produce!

Tomorrow morning, this story on the Unification Commemoration,

should be spread not only all over Gyeongseong,

but all throughout the farthest country villages.

Distribute it throughout the entire country!

I understand, Your Excellency.

Hyung.

Jo Young Geun is dead.

Do you know who killed him?

It was Taro, Taro! Kimura Taro!

The bastard was probably afraid of getting caught siphoning off Jo-Il Bank money,

so he killed him!

So? Are you intending to arrest him?

Tomorrow is the Commemoration Ceremony, and I'm terribly busy!

Your Excellency! This is a murder case!

Again with the "Your Excellency."

Again with the "Your Excellency"!

Every time you get all serious, it makes me crazy.

Your Excellency!

You drive me crazy, really!!

Hey. Joseon is a colony.

What sort of human rights do the citizens of a colony have?

If a cat owner kills a kitten, will the mother cat go after the owner?!

Fool, fool, stupid fool!

Get out, you punk.

I've heard the biggest lull in the Jongro Station happens during lunch hour.

At exactly 12:10 pm, we will hit the Jongro Police Station armory.

If you were to draw out the remaining officers before that time,

we can empty the armory without detection.

Abe, I'm going to drop by the armory.

Okay.

Detective Lee, where is Captain Kimura?

Hey circus girl. You're back?

Sergeant Goiso.

Mok Dan...

Mok Dan...

All right then. Quickly. Tell him.

What about Mok Dan?

Mok Dan...

Ah, that's right. I hear it costs 30 won to get a perm these days.

You little wench.

Mok Dan is leaving Gyeongseong.

Leaving? Why?

Are you going to keep playing games with us?!

I could buy satin shoes if I had...

just 10 won.

You wench, you wanna die?!

Shall I tell you? Or shall I not?

Gaksital is planning something with Mok Dan's father.

What? With whom?

Gaksital. Gaksital is going to help Mok Dan's father with some plan.

Oh, wait, right.

I heard that Mok Dan leaving Gyeongseong would be helping Gaksital.

What else? Is there nothing else?

That's as much as I heard.

Shall I find out when and where she's going?

Ay, you little fox, you.

W- w-what are you doing?

What are you? Are you Kimura Shunji's spy?

I'm not a spy, I'm an aide. An informant for the Empire.

You...

You know who I am, don't you?

How about it?

How about you tell me all the information you report to Kimura Shunji?

Damsari and Gaksital are up to something.

Damsari and Gaksital?

It appears they are planning something together.

Gaksital was the one who originally helped Damsari escape.

Why didn't we figure out that they were working together?

Lee Kang To has experience catching Damsari, so I will be including him on my team.

I told you not to trust that bastard.

I'm still keeping your warning in mind.

But for now, it's urgent we capture them, so let's make use of Lee Kang To.

Fine. But then, you'd better make certain you arrest those two.

I will absolutely capture them both.

We've uncovered information that Damsari and Gaksital are planning something,

and that it will coincide with the Commemoration Ceremony.

What a fitting way to celebrate the unification.

But we haven't yet uncovered exactly what they have planned.

So, it sounds like you are asking me to find out the details of the plan.

Is that right?

It's tomorrow.

We have so very little time...

What would be difficult in taking down one little wench?

Don't worry, and just wait.

What are you doing?

Let go! Let go! I said let go!

Get lost. Get lost!

What's the matter?

- Dong Nyun, Dong Nyun. - Why is he...

What is it? Why are you doing this?!

Just please... shut up and come with me.

Quiet, quiet.

You're leaving Gyeongseong?

You think... you can slip out of my hold?

Your father, Damsari, has come back to Gyeongseong, hasn't he?

With the Unification Commemoration Ceremony coming up,

what sort of show is he planning to put on?

Are Gaksital and your father going on some sort of dual rampage together?

What? Are you curious as to how I found out?

You should have figured out that we've got at least one mole planted.

You understand what I'm telling you, don't you?

You understand, right?

Tell your father not to underestimate the Imperial Police.

It is unfortunate timing with the Unification Commemoration coming up,

but the terrorist rebel Damsari has reappeared.

His target...

will undoubtedly be the Unification Commemoration Ceremony.

Tonight, distribute throughout Gyeongseong, pictures of Damsari, the man sentenced to death.

Anyone who arrests Damsari or Gaksital will be guaranteed a promotion!

Is that understood?!

Yes, sir!

Beginning today, Sato Hiroshi and Abe Shin...

Where is Sato Hiroshi?!

Mok Dan, let me take a look at you.

Did that son of a bitch, Lee Kang To, hit you anywhere? Huh?

Why does that rotten son of a bitch bastard keep harassing you? Huh?

Wait wait wait...

What if that son of a bitch, Lee Kang To,

likes our Mok Dan?

Ahjussi!

That's ridiculous! What the...

Stop spouting nonsense and get out. Get out!

Just listen to this. They say you find love at the end of the whip.

Love and affection between a man and a woman is an inexplicable thing.

- That mouth of yours should be... - Why are you attacking my lips?!

Sister?

How did you know to find me here, Sister?

I went to the Jongro Station because I was worried about you,

and I heard you'd been released.

As I was passing by anyway, I thought I'd stop by and see you.

I'm really grateful for your concern over my well-being.

Your complexion doesn't look good... is something wrong?

No, there's nothing wrong.

Please have some. I'm sorry that this is all I have to offer you.

Ah, thank you.

Drinking tea without making the sign of the cross?

The only thing I can do for you, I'm afraid,

is to pray.

Oh, that's right.

Since you're at Myeongdong Catholic Church, you must know Sister Lucia.

She's still the same these days, I suppose?

Of course. She's still the same.

But Sister Lucia passed away.

Please let me know if there's something you'd like me to pray for.

I'll pray for it in earnest.

Will you really pray for me?

If you pray for me, I think my heart will be at ease.

Of course. When two or more gather in His name, God is with us.

They must succeed...

Succeed? What do you mean by that?

Actually...

This is Jongro Chief of Police, Kimura.

Father, this requires your immediate attention.

At exactly 12pm, at the Government-General Annex Hospital, there will be a funeral mass.

Please take all the family and get there quickly.

The Government-General Annex Hospital?

Then the bastards are going after Director Woo?

Yes, that's what I'm saying, Father.

Please hurry.

I understand.

Please go safely.

Emergency! Emergency!

Emergency!

Emergency!

Where the hell have you been?!

At the Angel Club. The guy who tried to kill me was dressed as a waiter.

Damsari and Gaksital are going to hit Director Woo at 12pm.

What?

All right, then. To the hospital!

Yes, sir!

Countess. Choi Tae Gon's wife has come to visit.

Oh really? See her in.

Welcome! I've been waiting for you.

It's been a while.

Oh my, oh my! What a truly fantastic dress!

Is this the dress you plan to wear to the Unification Commemoration Ceremony?

The day of the commemoration is a day to show how well we've been living in Joseon,

since the unification of Japan and Joseon, don't you think?

Of course. You're so right.

As a member of the royal family, the more I dress in splendor,

the more evident it is to the world that Joseon voluntarily chose to accept...

unification with Japan.

Of course.

I bow down to your sense of patriotism, Countess.

I wanted to introduce you to His Excellency in advance.

But his schedule is so tightly packed I didn't have the opportunity.

However, I made certain to obtain an invitation for you.

Assistant Oh!

Yes, Countess.

You can greet His Excellency at the banquet hall yourself.

It is an honor, Countess.

Thanks to you, the wish of my life will be granted.

It will be a grand and magnificent Unification Commemoration Ceremony.

It will be the best and most unforgettable Unification Commemoration.

[A Celebration, The Blessed Unification of Japan and Joseon]

His Excellency was so pleased!

That comparison of China and Joseon to an insatiable man and a submissive woman...

He liked that the most.

Father, you are indeed, the best.

But, you know, the headline bothers me.

The blessed unification of Japan and Korea.

It's overused.

What about "A Celebration, Joseon's Collapse..."

How many years has it been?

Wouldn't that have been better?

Joseon's Downfall...

Right, Father!

Next year, Joseon's Collapse...

Let's use that!

Shall we?

It's Gaksital!

Gaksital!

Gaksital, let me live. Please let me live!

You. What the hell is the meaning of this?!

What? How could that be?!

[Explosives]

[Authorized Personnel Only]

[Gyeongseong Post]

Wait a minute.

The mailroom isn't that way.

I'm looking for Detective Lee Kang To.

Lee Kang To?

I have a delivery for Lee Kang To and he must sign for it personally.

Open it.

Yes, sir.

Chief!

Chief, Gaksital has appeared at the Gyeongseong Daily office.

President Park In Sam... President Park...

Follow me.

Yes, sir!

Stop right there.

- Open them. - Yes, sir!

- Follow me. - Yes, sir!

[There will be karmic retribution (for those who do evil and their descendants)]

What did you say?

The newspapers with the Unification Commemoration celebration article were burned.

And President Park and his son suffered an indignity.

Then, it wasn't Woo Byung Joon, but Park In Sam?

Frankly, it's possible to be deceived by an immature young wench once in your lifetime.

The problem is,

we still don't know what they're planning for the Commemoration.

We haven't found out a thing.

Did you say that wench was planning to leave Gyeongseong today?

You've made the right decision.

Leaving Gyeongseong is the answer.

Whether the Commander succeeds or fails,

do you think the bastards will leave you alone?

Once I leave, you'll have to deal with a lot of trouble.

How can I be involved in this sort of thing without the resolve to face that?

I'll definitely come back to see you.

I have to leave without saying goodbye to Dong Nyun ahjumma and the others.

Their circumstances wouldn't be any better if they knew you were leaving.

It's actually in their best interest you leave without them knowing.

Go on. Go quickly.

Please accept my bow.

No need to bow.

There's only one way.

We capture Oh Mok Dan.

Damsari and Gaksital, they're both connected to Oh Mok Dan.

If they know that Oh Mok Dan's life is in danger, they won't stay still.

It's a method I've used before.

But do you think it will be effective?

Do you have any other method?

Tomorrow is the Commemoration Ceremony. Should we just wait like sitting ducks?

But, will you really be okay with this?

If you go after her all out like this, will you be all right with the girl?

To that girl,

I'm just a Jap bastard.

I'll go to the circus. You go to Gyeongseong Inn.

Take her ruthlessly. Show no mercy.

Unni!

Unni!

Unni! Unni, don't go!

How can I live without you, Unni?

Don't cry. Don't cry, Sun Hwa.

President Song!!

Yes!!

Where is Oh Mok Dan.

She went to the circus. It's almost time for their performance.

Damn it!

Why are there so many people looking for Oh Mok Dan today?

I'll definitely be back.

I'm just leaving for a while because it's dangerous.

You're really coming back, right?

You're not abandoning me and Jang Soo, right?

Of course not! Why would I?

Then why would you leave without saying goodbye?

Well, that's... because I don't want to put you in danger.

And I'm coming back anyway.

Teacher Shunji also left without saying goodbye to the children.

Do you think he didn't say goodbye for the same reason, because he's coming back?

- Arrest her! - Yes, sir!

After her!

Teacher, please leave Unni alone.

There she is! After her!

Take her alive!

Over there! Get her!

What happened?

Teacher Shunji... Mok Dan unni...

She's like a squirrel with wings!

- You guys search that side! - Yes, sir!

- And you guys go that way! - Yes, sir!

- You guys follow me! - Yes, sir!

There she is! Get her!

[Thank you for helping my father. I'm leaving town. Please stay healthy. Boon Yi]
