Grab him!

Wh-what...

Gaksital!

Hey, hey, Lala...

Shoot him.

Give it to me.

It's Gaksital!

Gaksital!

It's Gaksital, it's Gaksital.

Get out!

Goiso! Take him in!

Yes, sir!

Follow me!

Aigoo! Whoa, whoa...

Ah, hot, hot! Hot, hot, hot, hot!

Aigoo, aigoo, aigoo...

Stay put.

I want to see the skills of our Imperial Police in action.

Move!

Shoot.

Don't worry about your father, and shoot!

Father.

I must absolutely catch this bastard today.

[Gaksital]

Move!

At last, we'll be seeing your face, you bastard.

Who did it?

What is this, what's going on?

What is this?

Success, it was a success.

Get in, quickly.

We have to go after them.

Comrades!

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

I should be walking out together with the Commander.

Thanks to Gaksital,

I was able to slip out safely.

Thank you.

You were hurt?

Are you all right?

Quickly. Let's move.

What about Unni! Oh no!

Shunji. Shunji.

What about Gaksital?!

Gaksital!!!

He must have already slipped out.

Several officers are down at the back gate...

Who says?! Who says he can slip out?!

Who says?!!

Who says?

Lieutenant! Please stop the Captain.

He's going to kill that man!

That's enough, Captain.

Lose him again? How many times has it been already?!

How many times, you stupid moron?!!

That's enough!

Let go. Let go!

Let me go!!

What the hell are you standing there for?!

Take him away, quick!!

Yes, sir!

- Oh my... - Oh.

I'm going to head back to the station first.

Since Gaksital has vanished,

I'm going to check that Damsari was transported safely.

All right. Go.

Wait.

What about the woman who came with Damsari?

I'm sorry.

I searched throughout the interior of the Government-General Building, but...

Sato Hiroshi.

How is it that you couldn't recognize Damsari?

I'm sorry.

Count Lee Si Yong insisted that he was a close friend.

I don't suppose you've forgotten that you said you'd take responsibility, have you?

No, sir.

Hey!

Get up!

Assistant Kaneko.

Where is the Governor-General?

His Excellency. Where is His Excellency?!

- Your Excellency! - Your Excellency!

Your Excellency!

I don't see His Excellency.

Find him quickly.

Find His Excellency! Quickly, quickly!!

Your Excellency.

Your Excellency...

Your Excellency.

Your Excellency!

Your Excellency.

Oh dear.

Are you all right, Your Excellency?

Police Commissioner!!

I am ashamed to face you, Your Excellency.

Follow me!

[Joseon Chongdokbu (Government-General Building)]

Including Privy Council Member Count Song Byeong Heon,

and his son-in-law Gu Hyun Ho, a Government- General official, 8 people were killed.

Including Joseon History Compilation Society Writer Kwon Jun Kang,

Kanematsu of Joseon Military Headquarters 14th Brigade,

a total of 27 were injured.

Among all the successive Governor-Generals of Joseon,

are there any others who have experienced such slaughter?

Our apologies, Your Excellency!

Why?

Am I an easy mark?

Am I laughable?

Because I was almost passed over in Japan,

I'm expendable?

Is that it?!

Your Excellency. How could you say such a thing?

Please subdue your anger.

At the Government-General banquet hall,

during a Japan-Korea Unification Commemoration,

terrorist Joseon rebels stepped right in!

Step, step, step, step!

What if this news spreads among the higher ranks of the Empire?!

Do I have ten lives?!

Our apologies, Your Excellency!

Who was responsible for security at the Government-General Building last night?!

Jongro Police Chief Kimura was.

What?!

Chief Kimura?!

You said that Gaksital would never appear again!

Fool!

Kill me, Your Excellency.

Of course. Of course I'll have you killed!

Of course I will!

As of today,

Kimura Taro is hereby removed from his position!

Commissioner, until you find a suitable replacement,

you take over the Jongro Police!

I understand, Your Excellency!

For the sake of Ilseonyunghab*, (*Slogan: Japan/Joseon is one body)

capture that bastard no matter what!

In order to preserve public safety and maintain law and order,

you must focus your careful attention and efforts!

Yes, sir!

The Unification Commemoration Ceremony was a peaceful and celebratory event?

Aigoo, when wasn't it?

Joseon, or Japanese, all the people of power attend.

Of course it was peaceful.

This is all bullshit.

Do you know why the power went out in the middle of the night?

What are you talking about?

The power sometimes goes out and comes back.

Come closer.

In the middle of the night, in the Government-General Building's banquet hall,

that traitorous weasel Song Byeong Heon and his son-in-law were killed,

and a bunch of police officers were injured.

Why?

Apparently Gaksital set off explosives at the Unification Commemoration Ceremony.

Really?! That's great!

- Is that really true? - Really?

- Gaksital is indeed something. - Aigoo...

You've worked very hard over the years.

Do you have a lot of things to pack in the Chief's office?

Since you've been sitting there longer than a village elder.

Do you think you can empty out your office today?

I will empty it within an hour.

Commissioner. I take responsibility for what happened last night!

It was me who did not recognize Damsari's fake identification papers.

- Please put the blame on me. - Captain Kimura!

It is His Excellency, the Governor-General's orders!

Until my successor is appointed,

the Commissioner will manage the Jongro force.

Do your best and serve him with the utmost earnestness.

Captain Kimura.

I will drop by the Jongro station in the afternoons.

Be aware of it.

With the help of Lieutenant Sato, catch Gaksital as soon as possible.

Understand?

Captain Kimura!

I understand.

Let's go.

I will capture Gaksital without fail and serve you once again, Father.

So, Damsari passed the security point manned by Lee Kang To.

Even after this, you think you need more time to think about Lee Kang To?

I found that suspicious as well.

But, Damsari came with Count Lee Si Yong,

so even I was fooled.

How the hell did that bastard approach Lee Si Yong?!

I plan to investigate that first.

Just a second!

So, what happened on the train that day...

was all planned by Damsari and his men!

Geez. You sure came to that realization quickly.

But, how did they know I would be on that car that day?!

Those rotten devils! That means they know my exact schedule!

Apparently, ringleader Yang Baek...

announced a list of seven people independence fighters can kill at will.

You and I are on the top of that list!

As if Gaksital weren't enough!

Damsari, independence fighters, Yang Baek! Aigoo!

What have I done that was so wrong?!

Thanks to me, we have electricity here, streetcars... a new world opened up!

Count. Lieutenant Sato from the Jongro Police requests an audience.

- Show him in, quickly. - Quickly, quickly.

Welcome! Come in, come in!

Welcome.

Welcome. Please have a seat here.

Sit here.

I thought you may feel uneasy, so I came.

You don't know the half of it!

The Count didn't get a wink of sleep all night!

And when I think of how they fooled us...

Since Damsari got an invitation through the two of you,

I think an investigation will be inevitable.

Also, due to this incident, Chief Kimura...

was removed from office.

- Removed... - R-r-removed from office?!

I will keep you abreast of how the investigation is progressing,

You should continue to insist,

that you thought Damsari was Choi Tae Gon.

It's not just insisting, we really were completely deceived!

We're victims too. We're victims.

I thought the bellflower roots that bastard gave us was wild ginseng and ate it!

Lieutenant Sato, can we put our trust in you?

Don't worry.

I will do everything in my power to protect the two of you.

However,

you must keep it a secret that I am helping you two.

Only then can I safely help you.

Thank you! Thank you!

It's such a relief to know such a patriotic young man as you exists!

Thank you.

Going forward,

the Count will be a big supporter of you, Lieutenant.

Thank you, Countess.

- Then, I shall get going now. - Oh, right!

Count.

Captain Kimura from the Jongro Police requests an audience.

Have him wait in the drawing room.

Yes.

I suppose you can slip out quickly?

Thank you, Countess.

Oh my goodness! My goodness!

What are we to do?!

Those swindlers even stole my handbag!

Do you know the name of the woman who came with Damsari?

It was Anna or something.

She said she was from Paris, France.

Death is too good for me!

To think I believed those swindlers and even introduced them to the Count!

Captain Kimura.

Shoot me now, here on the spot.

Please. Please.

Please.

I must die.

Aish.

Out of consideration for the beater,

that bastard should tell us something at least!

Even baby dogs and cows understand if you beat them enough.

It figures, damn Josenjings! (derogatory term for Koreans)

Abe. Takeda!

In the torture room, put him in the spiked crate.

Goiso. Are you crazy?

Do you know how much information that bastard has?

Butt out.

And just worry about your own business.

What good are your eyes?

With your eyes wide open, you couldn't even recognize him.

So keep your nose out of my business.

- You punk... - Captain!

About Damsari...

I think we're going to need to put him in the spiked crate and shake him up a bit.

Fine. Get it ready.

Lieutenant Sato.

Come see me.

It's not time to put him in the crate yet.

- A proper interrogation... - Lee Kang To.

Shouldn't you first ask how the Chief is doing?

I was shortsighted.

I apologize.

When the armory was robbed, and at the banquet hall,

Lee Kang To's actions lately have been unusual!

Do you understand what I'm saying?

By the way,

the day that Gaksital showed up at the Gyeongseong Daily,

where were you?

What are you saying?

You didn't come to the hospital either.

And you didn't go to the Gyeongseong Daily with Father, either.

Where in the world were you?

I don't mean anything by it.

I'm just asking because I'm curious.

I saw you go into the hospital director's room,

so I was blocking the bastard's exit route.

He's the guy who took Director Woo as hostage,

and then vanished, after all.

From now on, report to me when making any move.

All right.

Since you were in charge of security and let Damsari pass,

you must take responsibility.

Take over Damsari.

You know he's not the type to spill any info just because Goiso beats him senseless.

I understand.

I'll do my best and investigate him.

You must find out who Gaksital is, and where he is.

Get that information without fail.

As I'm investigating him,

I will find out who the accompanying woman was, and how to contact her locally.

I will extract every bit of information.

A veteran is indeed different.

I can watch and learn how you interrogate Damsari, right?

Let's go. Let's get started.

Thank you.

Abe! Takeda!

Yes, sir!

Untie the bastard and seat him in a chair.

Yes, sir.

Now, get out.

Yes, sir.

Have you been well?

You know my style, don't you?

If you haven't seen someone in while,

you should know to greet them.

Would it be right for you to lack manners just like the Japs?

Manners?

Why don't you live more like a proper human?

Even beasts look after their children.

But, with you running around with your grand independence movement,

your daughter is constantly chased, captured, and tortured.

Is that something a father does?

My brother was also captured for his participation in the independence movement.

And then, he lived as a half-witted fool until he died.

And so what?

Does anyone recognize him for that?

All of it is pointless foolishness.

Total nonsense!

Even if thieves broke into my home,

and forced my daughter and me into slavery,

should I do as they say,

just to keep her fed for the time-being?

If I keep her fed in that manner,

my daughter and I,

only become beasts subservient to thieves.

To think, that a young Joseon man who should be fighting against thieves,

becomes their loyal servant...

My heart aches.

And my bones feel like they're breaking.

Thieves?

You... know how I feel, don't you?

I can protect you as much as you want...

But now,

to me,

you're just a Jap.

I see that the father and the daughter are the same.

No matter how kindly you're treated, you just don't recognize your blessings.

There's no need to engage him in talk anymore.

Throw him in there.

We can't.

If we put him in the crate, he'll die!

Abe, Takeda!

Yes, sir!

Put this traitor in the crate.

Yes, sir!

You can't.

You left him to me!

You absolutely cannot do this.

Are you on this bastard's side?

Sato Hiroshi.

You said you were Japanese down to your bones, didn't you?

Shall we see how true that is?

Throw Damsari in the crate.

With your own hands...

Are you inescapably a Josengjin (derogatory term for Joseon person)?

You son of a bitch!

Are you crazy? Are you out of your mind?

We've finally caught him and you're going to kill him?!

Do you want to catch Gaksital or don't you?!

If you want to learn something from me,

if you don't know what you're doing, then stay put!

Just shut your mouth!

Get out of here!

Yes, sir!

I'm sorry.

Please forgive me for getting out of line.

Please.

Can't you just trust me?

I will get the information!

Oh Mok Dan.

Comrade Jeok Pa, what happened?

Father...

was captured.

This is all because of me.

Even though I said I was ready to die and had a bomb strapped to me,

I ran away.

Still, you did set off explosions at the Commemoration Ceremony.

We can free Father.

Yes, we'll do that.

Now, let's just focus on the Commander.

Isn't there any way I can help?

We need funds.

Since our stay in Gyeongseong has extended longer than expected.

I understand.

I'll find some funds somehow by tomorrow.

Then, let's plan to meet here again at the same time tomorrow.

Thank you, Comrade.

But,

have you thought of a way to free Commander Damsari?

We have no choice but to use Shunji.

Shunji?

But, what will you do?

I have an idea, Troupe Leader.

You son of a bitch!

Are you crazy? Are you out of your mind?

We've finally caught him and you're going to kill him?!

Do you want to catch Gaksital or don't you?!

Captain.

Didn't you hand him over to me at the banquet hall?

If Lee Kang To gets some information...

And the Chief isn't even here.

We have to catch Gaksital first, don't we?!

You said it was the military brigade stationed in Joseon, right?

And that the ones they dragged off were Mok Dan and Troupe Leader Jo?

Yes.

But, they were let go the next day, completely untouched.

Don't you think it was because they were no longer under suspicion?

Look into it.

You skip school one more time, and I won't overlook it.

At school, we just spend all day weaving straw bags.

Straw bags?

You don't know those bags you put rice in?

The teacher wants us to be in first place and keeps hitting us.

When Teacher Shunji was around, he never did that sort of thing.

Still, you have to go to school.

You have to be educated to grow up and make a living, wearing a suit.

Uh? It's teacher!

Let go! It's Teacher!

It's Teacher Shunji!

Jang Soo! Jang Soo!

Teacher...

Move, punk!

That was Teacher, right?

Right, Noona?

Right?

Teacher is an officer now.

You know what kind of people officers are, don't you?

From now on,

you must not act like you know him. Understand?

It's because I urgently need it for something.

I know that you all face hard circumstances.

But couldn't I pay you this month's salary a few days late?

Ah, really...

Aigoo.

How urgently you must need it to ask something like that!

Of course, please go ahead and do it.

We're just grateful not to starve, thanks to you.

Isn't that so?

You rotten wench. Who do you think you are, our representative?

You don't even listen to anyone's thoughts,

and you decide whether it's okay or not?

It doesn't matter to us, Troupe Leader.

Hey!

See? Everyone says it's all right.

That's a little difficult for me.

See? It's difficult for Gye Soon.

There are at least nine family members depending on me.

What do I say to my family who wait for my payment every month?

Ah, that's right.

If there are any others who have urgent needs like Gye Soon, please speak up.

Aigoo, there's nothing on earth you're responsible for but your own throat.

Do you want to be beaten to affection? (saying)

What's this about?

Would you come with us for a moment?

Go with you? Where?

Your troupe may get alarmed.

Please cooperate.

I'm going to step out for a moment.

Don't worry and prepare for your acts.

Huh? Where are you going?

Troupe Leader...

I'll be back before tonight's performance.

Let's go.

- Troupe Leader... - Troupe Leader...

Aigoo, what do we do?

Aigoo...

[Jongro Police Station]

This is really...

hard to bear.

Listen.

If you're going to torture me, hurry and get to it.

I think getting beaten would be better.

I wanted to ask my brother something.

But since he died,

I never had a chance.

If, like my brother, like you,

and like me,

people lived like this, do you think the world will change?

It's not just Joseon.

They say the Great Japanese Empire,

will conquer Manchuria and even greater China.

Isn't this attacking a boulder with eggs?

I'm sure it looks reckless.

A single little egg...

would likely just shatter against a boulder.

However,

a boulder, no matter how strong, is dead.

And an egg, no matter how weak, is alive.

Over time, a boulder will wear and break, becoming sand.

But someday,

an egg will hatch,

and a chick will step out onto that sand.

And there will definitely come a day when the murderous oppression...

and violence of the Japanese Empire...

will be defeated by the egg.

Why'd you bring Troupe Leader Jo here?

Have you gotten any information out of him?

You know very well, he's not one to open his mouth very easily.

I'm in a hurry.

I need to bring Father back quickly.

I'm sorry.

Who is Gaksital? Where is the bastard?

I don't know.

I've never even met Gaksital.

You say you don't know?

Shall I bring in your daughter and give her a spin in that crate?

Now then.

Shall I talk with Troupe Leader Jo about where she is?

Sato Hiroshi.

Put Damsari in a cell and take a break.

Didn't you hear me?

Get in there, you bastard!

That's good.

Move, bastard!

What are you doing?

You know he's an elusive son of a bitch.

Give me the key.

These?

These?

The Captain says he's going to hold on to them personally.

Didn't I tell you that I don't know? I don't know.

Is that so?

Goiso, please disrobe the Troupe Leader.

Yes, sir.

Troupe Leader.

Let me ask you again.

Where is Oh Mok Dan?

Thank you for your cooperation, Troupe Leader.

You should get back before the performance.

Abe, escort him back courteously.

Yes, sir.

Did you find anything out?

Nothing at all. It was wasted effort.

Where is Mok Dan?

Where is Mok Dan?

Please, tell me where she is.

Mok Dan is in danger.

Mok Dan may be captured!

You worrying about my daughter's welfare...

I cannot understand that at all.

Your daughter is in danger.

Boon Yi...

Boon Yi is in danger.

[letter is signed "Boon Yi"]

Please. Please!
