Why are you here? What are you doing? Let go!

It was you, after all, you bastard.

It's a pleasure to meet you...

Gaksital.

It's you. It's you, isn't it? You're Gaksital, aren't you?

Shunji.

Stop it, and put the gun away.

Don't try to talk your way out!

I just came because I was worried about Mok Dan.

You, Lee Kang To?

Sato Hiroshi was worried about Mok Dan?

That's right.

I thought you might take her and kill her immediately,

and I couldn't bear it.

Even though I clearly knew you were trying to set a trap,

I wanted to do whatever it took,

to get Mok Dan out of here.

Because you're Gaksital?!

Wrong!

I...

love this woman.

What? What did you say?

Tell me once more.

I...

Damn it.

I said... I love this woman!

Goiso!

Yes, sir!

Take Lee Kang To in at once! Immediately!

Yes, sir!

Get away!

I'll walk on my own two feet!

Goiso!

Captain Kimura.

Loving a woman,

is not a violation of the Maintenance of Public Order Act, is it?

What?

I'm saying I'll walk in on my own.

On my own, readily!

Move.

Are you not going to move?!

Drag them in.

[Gaksital]

Sit!

Are you crazy?!

Shut the hell up!

You were sure it would turn out well for you, weren't you?

Sure to the very end!

What?

Lee Kang To?

Lee Kang To?

Lee Kang To was taken in?

They set up a trap to catch Gaksital.

Why would Lee Kang To run in?

That much I haven't yet...

It's obviously because of that wench.

Because that wench might get hurt,

he went to get her out of there.

He ran in recklessly without so much as a thought.

Fool! Moron! Idiot!

He's climbed up that high.

He's climbed up that high in a world where Joseon people are treated like dirt,

and he carries out his own destruction?

Who the hell is that worthless little wench anyway?

Ueno Rie, what's wrong with you?

You know what it took to climb up this far.

You should have no problem killing off one Lee Kang To.

I...

Damn it.

I said... I love this woman!

Loving a woman,

is not a violation of the Maintenance of Public Order Act, is it?

No way.

What did the bastard say? He loves me?

It's you. It's you, isn't it? You're Gaksital, aren't you?

Impossible.

Lee Kang To is Gaksital?

A Jap lap dog who puts away independence fighters?

Why did Shunji say something like that?

Now that the Chief has been kicked out,

did you think the world was yours?

You crazy punk.

You dare set your eyes on the wench that Captain Kimura has claimed?

Aigoo!

What are you doing? Before any interrogation...?

Sit him up.

Yes, sir.

You all step out.

Yes, sir.

Since when?

You... even shot Mok Dan.

A guy like that says he loves her?

That's right.

I even shot her in the chest.

In a crazed frenzy to catch Gaksital.

One little rat that goes tearing around roofs everywhere...

I kept thinking I'd catch him, I'd catch him.

But over and over, I'd lose him right in front of my eyes and I felt I'd go crazy.

So I caught myself a little bait,

covered her with rat poison and waited.

But not only did I not catch him...

You know too, don't you?

How much I wanted to catch that bastard?

That's right.

I shot that woman in the chest.

And I wondered, if she just died,

how was I going to catch that bastard?

As I rushed to the hospital, holding that bleeding woman to my chest,

that was all I could think of.

I had to save this wench...

if I wanted to capture that bastard.

It was the only thought in my head.

But, when that girl who hovered at the brink of death woke up,

I couldn't believe how glad I was!

Jap pawn, traitor,

independence fighter gobbling cannibal... Even as she insulted me,

the fact that she woke up,

that she lived...

made me so unbelievably grateful.

I thought to myself, I can't feel this way.

She's Damsari's daughter.

She's the woman my friend Shunji likes.

I can't. I can't, I can't!

Of course, I can't.

I kept telling myself I can't!

But, Lee Kang To, the lousy indecent dog...

My feelings just won't bend to my will, Shunji.

I know you still love that woman.

And I know how much you want to catch Gaksital.

So...

just as I pushed her to the edge of death,

I thought you would do the same, and I couldn't hold back.

I couldn't stay away from the meeting place.

Kimura Shunji, have you gone crazy?

How could you think Lee Kang To is Gaksital?

Even if you've become crazed because of Gaksital,

how could...

Aigoo, welcome.

Are you staying for the night?

Excuse me, guest!

(In Chinese) The boat arrives at Incheon today.

- We'll get something good out of it. - Yes. (still in Chinese)

Wait!

(Chinese) How are you?

I've been waiting for you.

Far East Circus Troupe, Troupe Leader, Jo Dong Ju.

I've come to pronounce judgment and carry out punishment.

Comrade Jeok Pa, I know you won't leave town without dealing with me.

Mok Dan was like a daughter to you and you sold her out to the Japanese police.

And you've jeopardized the accomplishment of our mission.

Therefore, the accused, Jo Dong Ju, is hereby sentenced to death

as an example for our fatherland and people.

I can say nothing in my defense.

These are the funds to cover your travel back to headquarters.

These are the last funds I will be able to procure for my comrades.

Now then.

I'm fully prepared now.

What's the reason?

Are you asking me to make pathetic excuses?

Now then.

Then,

I shall assume,

you have no objection to the death sentence.

Aigoo, you sure are working hard.

I'm just going to go in there and share exactly one bite...

with our Troupe Leader and then come back out, okay?

Why are you all being so strict?

Oh my!

The whites of your eyes have become yellow!

Aigoo, look at this! Aigoo!

Wait! Wait!

Go on.

No matter how I think about it, it seems strange, so I had to tell you.

On the morning of the Ceremony, Lieutenant Sato called me,

and urgently asked for Choi Tae Gon's contact information.

The Governor-General's assistant Kaneko called me

just after Damsari was captured.

She said that on the morning of the Commemoration Ceremony,

you urgently asked for Choi Tae Gon's contact information.

It was an unfamiliar name,

so I just wanted to confirm his identity.

An unfamiliar name? Right.

A man like that was right under your nose,

and not only did you not confirm his identity,

you...

When I was about to approach Damsari,

you reported that there was nothing unusual, almost as if you were protecting him.

It probably appeared that way because you're suspicious of me.

Didn't you say he couldn't fool your eyes no matter the disguise?

Damsari... was a farm servant.

With no proper name, just called Damsari (servant boy). Would you have suspected?

Would you have even imagined he would be mixing with royalty like Count Lee Si Yong?

Fine.

Let's say that's so.

Let's say you couldn't have dreamed Damsari could be Choi Tae Gon.

How do you know the name Boon Yi?

I asked how you know the name Boon Yi!

And the fact that I know the name Boon Yi,

how do you know about that?

You didn't possibly...

overhear me telling Damsari that Boon Yi must be saved,

did you?

And that's why you thought I was Gaksital?

So, then it was to lure me out?

That was why you put on such a show and set a trap?!

Goiso!

Yes?

Take off these handcuffs.

Did you not hear me?!!

Until you're no longer under suspicion, don't even think about it!

Suspicion?

Kimura Shunji.

Are you really going crazy?

What?

Let me say this again clearly.

I'm the guy who captured Damsari.

I've dug up Damsari's family, friends, in-laws, and distantly removed relatives!

You think I wouldn't know Damsari's daughter's childhood name?

Fine.

Let's say I'm working with Damsari as you suspect.

If we were truly working together,

would I need to beg to find Boon Yi to save her life?

Shall I give you an even stronger evidence?

You remember the guys who tried to kill me at the Angel Club, don't you?

There were three of them.

One of them died at your hands.

And the other two...

Are you aware their posters are plastered all over as Damsari's accomplices?

Kimura Shunji.

Come to your senses.

Damsari is the bastard who tried to have me killed, get it?!

Go immediately to the Angel Club,

and fetch Madame and the employees.

Yes, sir.

Your food is here!

It is truly a hot night tonight!

- Let's have a drink, cheers. - Cheers.

Move!

Wh-what is this?!

Welcome!

Where's the Madame?

Where's the Madame?!

Wow, this is totally a star heaven!

Don't you know there's a ban on dancing?

Isn't this place on Joseon land?!

Hey, Goiso.

You all are overlooking it anyway.

Do we have to put on an act too?

It's a dying era anyway.

If the Angel club closes too...

You want us to die?

A dying era?

It's a killing era to me, you punk!

You and your yapping beak...

What?

Hey, listen.

Do you know who I am?

Whoever you are,

aren't you Joseon lowlife?

Shut your mouth before I drag you out!

Goiso!!

How dare you talk to us like that?

Reporter Park.

I'm sorry.

Please go about your business quietly.

Joseon lowlife...

Drag her away!

Yes, sir!

Come out!

Oh, me too?

Joseon lowlife...

Captain Kimura.

My employees have done nothing wrong.

I'm the one who instructed them to operate the club.

Madame.

Shut your mouth.

Take a look here.

These men here...

Are they the three who tried to kill Lee Kang To?

It happened so quickly...

Did you see them?

I'm sure that one was the guy who wore the waiter uniform,

but the other two...

Tell them, come on!

What?

You said the guys who tried to kill Kang To oppa were independence fighters!

Wh-when did I say that?

Madame.

Until the ban is lifted, you know you can't dance at the club, don't you?

Of course. Of course, we won't.

You can all go.

What?

What did I do wrong? Why are you keeping only me?

Drag him up.

Follow me, you punk.

I really don't know anything.

Come on, you punk!

Come on!

Take a look.

Take a close look.

Was he part of the group that tried to kill Lee Kang To?

Did he come with them to the cafe?

Answer me.

Was he part of the group that tried to kill Lee Kang To?

Y- yes. That's right.

They came together.

Are you certain?

Yes, I'm certain.

On the day that they tried to kill Detective Lee,

he came to the club with the woman in the wanted posters.

And, how did you know they were independence fighters?

I figured they were because they were trying to kill Lee Kang To!

Let him go.

Get lost, punk!

Let Lee Kang To go.

Excuse me?

Let him go?

Let him go, and bring that wench into my office.

The bastard loves a rebel's daughter, and you want me to let him go?

Yes, sir.

Are you in any pain?

Are you hurt anywhere?

Let go of me. Let go and talk.

Where is the rest of Damsari's group?

You were supposed to meet them with Troupe Leader Jo.

Don't you want to save your father?

I really don't want to torture you.

Your father either.

What will you do...

if you have to choose between Gaksital and your father?

Please tell me where the rest of the group is, at least!

So that I can whip them instead!

If Gaksital doesn't get captured,

your father will die in the end.

Actually, I may have to kill you too.

Please...

Couldn't you save me?

I...

I want to save you.

Let me see my father first.

All right.

I'll let you be together.

Think about it carefully tonight.

Goiso, let her into the torture room.

Yes, sir.

Lieutenant Sato.

From this moment on, back off the Damsari case.

You don't need me to explain why, do you?

Does loving a rebel's daughter make me a rebel?

Why do I have to back off this case?

Are you able to interrogate him objectively right now?

Aren't you and I pretty much in the same situation?

I'm certain I asked you.

Whether you could protect that woman to the very end.

I backed off when you said you wouldn't give her up even if she killed your brother.

But you didn't protect her.

You back off.

I will protect her from now on.

I will manage this case to the end.

Goiso.

Get out.

Don't even come near this room.

Lieutenant. Where did you get so beaten up?

Abe.

You go too.

What? Me too?

Yes, sir.

Father.

Father.

Father!

Father.

Son.

Father.

One of the waiters went and saw Damsari today.

He said he was unrecognizable as a human.

- Ah... - Aigoo.

Son.

We're having a rare dinner out as a family.

Can't we just talk about good things?

Even people from the slave ranks are fighting so earnestly.

Do you have any regrets, taking a pro-Japanese stance, Father?

Son.

Your father, for the sake of posterity,

in the hopes that my descendants can live comfortably,

after anguish and tears, made a decision

to be pro-Japanese.

Anguish and tears...

You don't know, do you, Father?

When I was studying in Tokyo,

do you know how much I was shunned for being the son of a sell-out traitor?

Those rotten bastards! Who the hell did that to you?

Son.

Japan is the single strongest independent nation in Asia.

Not only did they win the Sino-Japanese and Russo-Japanese wars,

now they've established the Manchu State.

The ignorant who call us sellouts and traitors,

are just jealous.

Wait and see, Son.

The Great Japanese Empire will never fall!

My pro-Japanese stance will turn out to be an excellent decision,

allowing our family to live comfortably for generations.

But, why is it that today, I'm in such a dirty mood.

I almost wish Gaksital would hit me in the head with his metal flute.

What the...! Son, son, son!!

Why would you say such a thing?!

So how, exactly, is it going with the interrogation of Damsari?

Last night, we captured Damsari's daughter.

If you give us a little more time, we'll be able to get some information.

You captured her last night and what have you done up to now?

Lieutenant Sato. What happened to your face?

It's nothing.

Please pay no mind to it.

I'm really not liking you these days.

Is this the time to be getting into fist fights?

I'm sorry.

So, you captured the girl, and then what?

I'm giving the father and daughter some time to think.

We will soon get a confession on where Damsari's men are.

What?

You're giving them time to think?

Are you kidding me?

His Excellency is on my case to carry out the execution of Damsari...

Then, are we going to end up finding out nothing,

and just killing him?

Where are they now?

I will interrogate them personally.

Father.

Do you remember the jujube tree in our backyard?

When the jujubes ripened to a bright red,

you would seat me on your shoulders,

and I would pick the jujubes.

Of course, I remember.

When I had you on my shoulders,

you would stand up on my shoulders fearlessly,

and scuttle up the tree.

And every time, your face would go ghastly white.

Because I was afraid I'd get a scolding from your mother.

Tch. You were afraid I'd get hurt.

Totally shaking.

Boon.

I'm sorry.

That you ended up with me as a father.

I'm truly sorry.

But I'm...

really glad.

that you're my father.

I'm really glad.

So then...

Did you enjoy your father/daughter reunion?

How can you beat a person to this state?

It's not like you're an immature child swept away by passion.

Isn't it time to stop?

When you have a beautiful daughter like this?

I promise you.

If you just tell me who Gaksital is,

I will ensure you and your daughter live the good life for the rest of your lives.

The good life, you say.

It sounds like an ever unreachable star.

But what I do is something I can only quit after I've died.

Look here.

Will it take the death of your daughter to snap some sense into you?!

Listen. Just tell us everything you know.

How did you meet Gaksital?

Just tell us what you know!

Oh Mok Dan. You said you'd expose the rest of your father's men.

Go on and tell us.

I've never made any such promise to you.

So, you're not going to say anything?

I have heard about your reputation.

As you are not cooperating at all, I have no choice,

but to have your child die before your very eyes.

Captain Kimura.

Lieutenant Sato.

Yes, sir.

Stuff this girl in the spiked crate!

Boon. Boon!

Oh Mok Dan. Do you want to die?

Are you going to just die like this?

Just tell everything you know.

Please. Talk. Talk!

Father.

Don't cry.

We promised each other all night not to cry, Father.

And we promised not to kneel in front of beasts.

Didn't we, Father?

Lee Kang To.

Let me ask one favor.

Please.

Cover my father's eyes.

Throw her in now!

If you're human, please cover my father's eyes!

- Now! - Let go!

I'll go in myself! On my own two feet!

Boon! Boon! Boon!!

Boon!

Boon, Boon!

You unbelievable wench!!

Aren't you scared?!

A young girl with promise, don't you even value your life?!

If you had just told me one thing, I could have spared your life!

When dealing with beasts that kill a child in front of a parent,

should I beg for my life?

If I die, I die.

But I will not kneel before beasts.

Ruthless wench.

Transfer Damsari to the Seodaemun (West Gate) Prison immediately!

And send her to the Public Prosecutor's Office!

Father.

Boon. Boon.

Give me the keys to Damsari's shackles.

Why?

So I can transport him to the prison right now.

I'll take him.

Why are you in such a hurry? You can transport him in the morning.

It was the Commissioner's order.

Didn't you hear him say to transfer him immediately?

His Excellency wants his sentence carried out.

He'll be executed as soon as he gets to the prison!

Must we lose this prime opportunity?

What are you saying?

Just wait for now.

I said give me the keys to his shackles.

Lieutenant Sato.

This is an order from your superior.

Wait!

Captain Kimura.

Right now, I'm carrying out Commissioner Konno's order.

What? Do you really think that is at all feasible?

That was only done with rebels operating in the border areas.

But in the heart of Gyeongseong, are you kidding me?

- Commissioner. - You're an educated person.

As an educated teacher, how could you think...

the same way as nomadic men like your father?

It's a prime opportunity to draw out Gaksital and the rest of Damsari's men.

If they see Damsari die before their eyes,

we could see another riot of the century.

Then are you going to have him executed without getting anything on Gaksital?

You saw that neither the father nor the daughter flinch at the idea of death.

We will never get the answer from either of them!

You must cancel his transfer at once and execute him in public.

When I get transported to the prison,

the only person who can help you here is Lee Kang To.

You want me to ask Lee Kang To for help?

Boon Yi.

In the seven times I've escaped,

I've had help from Joseon prison guards wanting to help independence fighters.

Lee Kang To may be a tool of the Japanese bastards,

but he's still a Joseon man.

You know better than anyone what a bastard Lee Kang To is.

He wanted to save you.

He said he had to save you.

And he shed tears before me.

Lee Kang To?

Lee Kang To...

I...

Damn it.

I said... I love this woman!

Move. Quickly, quickly!

Get on my back.

What are you doing right now?

What are you doing?

Where are you going to take him?

I'm going to move him to Seodaemun Prison.

What happens after he is moved to the prison?

He won't be executed immediately, will he,

under the death sentence?

What will happen? Tell me what's going to happen!

Abe, what are you doing?

Get moving quickly!!

Yes, sir.

Father.

Listen closely.

Before we arrive at the prison,

I'm going to orchestrate your father's escape.

Follow them. Hurry!

What?

They're going to just carry out Damsari's execution?

They need to get everything out of him first, how can they just kill him?

Such incompetency in the positions of power!

Just a minute.

Commissioner Konno and Governor-General Wada are going to execute Damsari.

Without having found out any information?

That's right.

They're going to be eliminated when the Chairman comes anyway.

Tell him not to waste time,

trying to get permission from those idiots.

I understand.

Captain Kimura.

Do as you see fit.

I understand.

We need to stop the vehicle transporting Damsari at once!

Everybody, move out!

Excuse me?

Now!

Yes, sir! Move out!

Yes, sir!

Hey, go check it out. And, be careful.

Yes, sir!

Lee Kang To is sticking close to the Commander.

Don't shoot recklessly.

Cover me.

Stay put!

Step on it! Faster!

Yes, sir.

Lee Kang To!

Hand over the Commander!

No!
