Have a safe trip.

Don't worry, Grandmother.

Stay healthy.

I'll write to you.

Soon Yi.

No, Grandmother.

Just take it.

Buy something tasty for yourself.

I'll be going now.

Move out!

Soon Yi, have a safe trip!

Have a safe trip!

They're coming, they're coming, they're coming!

They've arrived!

Confirm the roster.

Yes.

Hi there, pretties!

Our pretties look even prettier today.

Let's check to make sure no one's missing.

- Oh Ma Soon. - Yes.

All right.

- Shim Soon Yi. - Yes.

Oh so pretty!

Gaksital!

Geez!

Gaksital, damn it!

Hey! Move!

We're not going to be nurses, but comfort women! We have to run!

Let go, you bastard!

You want to die?

Please.

Don't make me regret...

letting you live.

You... know who I am, don't you?

Why does it have to be you?

Why you? Why?

Now, now! We have to run away now! Hurry!

[Gaksital]

Girls, it's nothing. Don't worry.

You don't think anything's happened, do you?

I don't know.

I think we're going to have to send this truck off first.

Yes, I think that's a good idea.

You'll be leaving now, girls.

You go on ahead.

Yes, sir.

Move out!

Make lots of money! And stay healthy!

Captain! The chief wants you to return to the station quickly.

Why? What's the matter?

Gaksital appeared and they failed to send off the comfort women.

What?

Only the convoys of the Jongro Police ran into problems.

Who the hell is Gaksital anyway that the lot of you can't catch the bastard?!

Lee Kang To.

What were you doing?

Lieutenant Goiso told me to clean up here.

You bastard!

Did you not hear that everyone was to participate in the convoy?!

I didn't know.

You bastard, how dare you talk back to me?!

Lieutenant Goiso.

Did you tell Lee Kang To to clean up around here?

No. Absolutely not!

You said to make sure everyone tended to the convoy.

How could I have dared to make an order like that?

Now this bastard is even lying?!

Die!

You, bastard!

If you let Gaksital take you down one more time,

all of you better be prepared to resign.

Yes, sir!

That is all.

Lieutenant, are you all right?

You punk!

Who are you calling Lieutenant? Who says he's a lieutenant, you punk?!

I'm sorry. I'm sorry, Lieutenant Goiso.

The weather's rather hot. Would you like some ice coffee?

Yes. Ice coffee sounds good.

Hey, Lee Kang To!

Two ice coffees.

Shall I make them nice and sweet?

Yeah. With lots of ice.

Yes, all right. With lots of ice.

It's all right, Sun Hwa.

Thank goodness Gaksital saved you, and you were able to return.

Don't cry, don't cry.

Yeah, you're all right, aren't you?

You've come back alive!

If you want to cry, go ahead. Go ahead and cry.

You too! Have a loud cry.

Hey. Are you all going to keep wailing like that?

What are you going to do if the officers come back?

Listen to you talk! How could they come back?

That head of the agency and the bastard officers,

were taken down by Gaksital!

In any case, it won't end with just this one incident.

Another article appeared saying the military was recruiting cooks.

We have to warn people not to be fooled!

How can we just do nothing when they're even taking 12 year-olds?!

Are you crazy? What if you get caught?!

Gaksital saved us. We need to save others.

First of all, we need to start spreading the news among the people.

I understand, Unni. We'll go spread the news in the marketplace.

If we want to let the people know, then we should start by making fliers.

Unni, that's a good idea.

Fliers?

You empty-headed wench...

What were you thinking? What are you going to do?

You know what it took to get to where you are.

Why couldn't you shoot? Why? Why?!

The bastard doesn't even love you.

Are you willing to die because of a bastard like that?

Are you willing to lose everything?!

Get a hold of yourself, Ueno Rie.

Come to your senses!

How are things going with Lala?

You're talking about Lala?

Punk. Speak comfortably.

Have a seat.

I heard the governor-general has completely fallen for her.

Yeah, that's probably true.

Probably true?

Don't you two have something special going on?

Special?

It's not like that between us.

It's not like that?

It's not like that and she's dying to get you into the Kishokai?

Really?

Then why would she call me to remove you from her door?

Just like a woman angry over a lover's quarrel...

A woman angry over a lover's quarrel?

You must really not know that woman very well.

You think that woman would love a Joseon bastard?

A woman whose ambition shoots past the stars?

Hey, stop talking nonsense. And call me if you need anything else.

Yes, this is Captain Kimura of the Jongro Police.

Right now?

After talking big about catching him first, how'd you let Gaksital get away?

I'll come and see you at the hotel later.

I have nothing to say to you.

Then will you come down to the station directly?

As an imperial officer managing the Gaksital case,

I must investigate how you ran into him, and how he got away.

Chairman, I deserve to die.

Please just kill me.

The Jongro Police may have failed,

but the other four police stations sent their convoys without any difficulty.

Therefore, the first target of sending 2,000 women,

was successfully accomplished.

2,000 is only the beginning.

We'll need to send up to 200,000 going forward.

If Gaksital comes and foils our plans each time, then what?!

I'm sorry, Chairman.

Without fail, I will capture Gaksital...

Gaksital...

will be captured by Ueno Rie.

Gaksital...

I will capture him.

I will capture him with my own hands and without fail,

wipe away this shame.

Kinbei, I understand there is an emergency situation.

This morning, our informant in Shanghai sent a message.

Commander Damsari has sent a letter.

Father did?

To my daughter whom I miss, Boon Yi.

Have you been well?

It looks like your father will be coming to see you soon with Grandfather.

Until then, take care of yourself,

and please tell your friend that Grandfather is coming.

What... does this mean?

What does he mean by "Grandfather"?

He sent the letter to me,

but seeing that he wrote it to you,

I think he wants me to explain to you what the letter means.

What does it mean?

Mok Dan, you know who Master Yang Baek is, don't you?

Of course. What Joseon person doesn't know who Master Yang Baek is?

It appears that Comrade Damsari will be bringing him here.

Master Yang Baek is coming to Joseon?

Yang Baek, who vanished in Shanghai,

was reportedly seen near the border yesterday.

You don't think... that Yang Baek is trying to infiltrate Joseon, do you?

The reward for his capture is no less than 600,000 won. (Current value: 19.8 billion won)

There's no way he wouldn't know that.

Would he really come into the country?

That's right, Chairman.

When it's clear that only death awaits him,

would the leader of the so-called provisional government subject himself to that sort of danger?

The terrorist group he leads dared to go after His Majesty, the emperor.

In an attempt to kill that bastard,

we've sent hit squads to Shanghai several times, but they fail every time.

There are sharp people, risking their lives, guarding him.

If he steps into Joseon,

it would be a prime opportunity to kill the bastard.

You can not recklessly kill him.

If he attempts to enter Joseon even at the risk of his own life,

it could mean there is something important developing here in Joseon,

that we don't know about.

That is exactly it.

What it is,

we absolutely must find out.

Kimura Shunji.

Even if only to redeem your failure regarding the public execution,

find out what Yang Baek is planning.

And without fail, kill the bastard.

Yes, sir!

If Yang Baek, revered as the leader of the nationalists, were to die,

the treasonous will of the Joseon people will be completely shattered.

Yes, sir!

Good day.

Grandfather will be arriving in Gyeongseong shortly.

He'd like to see Jin ahjussi, who lives east of the club.

Please relay the news to him.

What sort of letter are you reading so seriously?

Grandfather will...

Tasha.

Mister Noh!

Yes!

Madame.

I'll be going out.

Please bring a raw egg for Director Minami.

A raw egg? (Koreans rub raw egg on their bruises.)

[Jung Ja Ok Tailor Shop]

Welcome.

Reporter Song?

Yes.

Yang Baek's current official position

is Prime Minister of the Provisional Government in Shanghai. (Korean government in exile)

He is, in actuality, the leader.

As you know, upon the war with China breaking out,

the Joseon people, who feel the mighty power of the Great Japanese Empire,

given the justification that we are here to develop their skills,

are becoming pro-Japanese one by one.

But, this man is obstinate.

Insisting on taking back the country, he walks the path of rebellion.

Rotten bastard...

Several years ago, he created a radical terrorist group, the Korean Patriot Legion.

The terrorist act of Yoon Bong Gil at Hongkou Park (Shanghai),

Lee Bong Chang's terrorist attempt to assassinate the emperor,

Damsari's terrorist bombing of the Unification Ceremony... He's behind them all.

Recently, we received information that he is crossing the border into Joseon.

That information, is it reliable?

Didn't we hear he was recently killed in Changsha? (In China, Hunan Province)

According to a man we bought off, he was severely injured,

but it appears he survived.

He can't snap to his senses even after being shot?

Why on earth is he coming to Joseon?

He wouldn't be coming here just to gather funds.

Then, what? Did he come to bomb the Government-General building?

That sort of thing he could have his underlings do.

Then, what? Why is he coming?

If he's entering Joseon at the risk of his life,

it must mean that it's something that is worth losing his life for, does it not?

Why do you think Master Yang Baek is coming to Joseon?

I don't know.

There must be a reason for him to risk the danger.

But, who on earth is that friend,

that Commander Damsari wants to relay this urgent situation to?

Don't worry, Troupe Leader.

A person we're grateful for, who has helped Father and I.

Jongro Police Station, this is Officer...

Ah, Lieutenant Goiso.

Hello?

Hello?

What the hell? If you're going to call, you should talk!

Call and hang up without a word? Aish!

To the Gyeongseong Inn.

Miss Lala wants to see you.

You came to see me with roses,

asking me to help you get into the Kishokai.

What was that?

Were you thinking you'd take down the Kishokai?

You think the Kishokai is such an easy organization to conquer?

How foolish.

Weren't you the Lee Kang To who wanted to be Police Commissioner, to be Governor-General?

Like me,

you lost your family to the Joseon people too.

So, why?

So, why would you, for their sake...

Does that make any sense?

How can you do that?

I... don't want to kill you with my own hands.

I don't know the situation that drove you to make such a foolish decision.

But, stop immediately.

If you would just stop,

this secret,

will go to the grave with me alone.

Even if I die,

I can't stop.

Are you stupid?

You don't care if you die?

You said if the same situation five years ago arose again,

you'd save me.

The woman you love,

even when you knew I tried to kill her,

you didn't kill me.

That means...

in your heart,

there's at least a small part that feels for me.

Doesn't it?

I...

worry about you.

Advancement.

Success.

Power. Feverishly chasing after them...

It feels like I'm looking at myself.

So, I always worry about you.

Your assumptions and what you're after...

Think about whether they are truly what you want,

or if they are what your adoptive father wants.

If you're living out his will as his puppet...

Think about it carefully.

I believe that someday...

you too will choose the right path.

Stop right there!

If you leave this room now, like that,

you're a dead man.

(warning messages about the lies in newspaper articles)

Sun Hwa, let's go together.

No, Unni, people know your face. You can't go.

Bu Yong and So Hwa have already gone to the market.

I'll just meet up with them and we'll do it together.

You just stay here, Unni.

What the heck, I'll go too.

We can just hand these out quickly and come back. Right?

Really?

Ahjussi, I really appreciate it.

Be careful, though.

Sun Hwa, you be careful too.

All right, Unni.

Let's go.

Sun Hwa, Ahjussi, you're going to be late for the performance.

Go on.

- W-we're late. - Let's go.

Quickly.

What happened to your face? Did you get hurt?

Why are you here this time?

Will you give me a cup of tea?

Sit.

You don't even want to sit with me?

You've been contacted, haven't you?

What are you talking about?

Your father, Damsari...

My father... I guess you haven't been able to catch him.

He hasn't contacted you yet?

He hasn't?

Seeing you act this away, I guess my father's safe.

You'll be able to see your father shortly.

Because no lackey would send off his leader alone into the jaws of death...

When he comes this time, will Yang Baek be meeting Gaksital?

Damsari and Gaksital hit the Unification Commemoration Ceremony,

and now Yang Baek and Gaksital are joining forces?

Then, what on earth will happen?

Aren't you curious?

If you've said everything you have to say, then go.

Are you still angry with me?

Leave at once!

I'm also angry beyond words with you!

You said you were mistaken.

You thought it was the Young Master you longed for for years.

But, it wasn't him, you said.

That means that Gaksital is a total stranger.

So, why are you protecting him so desperately?

Ah, because he's Joseon's hero?

Solely because of that?!

That's right. Even though we are not connected in any way,

he's someone who risked his life to save my father twice.

While, the person I once believed was my friend,

toyed with my father's life.

Do you need further explanation?

I didn't have any choice.

I was a girl without a mother

and a woman took me in as family.

Dong Nyun ahjumma, who loved me as her own daughter, is dead.

You think I don't know how?

Do you know how hard I'm forcing myself to see you right now?

Do you?!

What's wrong with your face?

Did something happen?

Our troupe members were saved, thanks to you.

Thank you.

I'm asking you what happened.

I tried to stop the officers from taking Sun Hwa, Bu Yong and So Hwa.

Don't take matters into your own hands like that. Huh?

They'll be dragging more off too. I don't know what I'm going to do.

You're no longer alone, Young Master.

What are you talking about?

Father is arriving in Joseon soon with Master Yang Baek.

W- what? Master Yang Baek?

Master Yang Baek is coming to Joseon?

The Japanese police are targeting him. It will be dangerous.

But what should we do?

I think Shunji has already figured out that Master Yang Baek is coming.

The organization Shunji belongs to would be able to uncover that sort of information.

Do you think it will be all right?

Don't worry.

I will do everything in my power to help the two of them.

I was a girl without a mother

and a woman took me in as family.

Dong Nyun ajumma, who loved me as her own daughter, is dead.

You think I don't know how?

I didn't know. I didn't know.

If I knew what she was to you, I wouldn't have killed her.

I'm also disappointed in myself for being this way.

But, now,

I've completely given up that girl.

Do you know who Gaksital is?

How are you going to kill him when you don't even know who he is?

I'll figure it out on my own.

Get out.

The chairman's order is not something you can put off.

I said get out!!

Did you not hear me tell you to get out?!

What, exactly, are you curious about?

How did you lose Gaksital?

Well... you've lost him several times, Captain Kimura.

So you know that situation well.

Please explain everything in detail from the beginning.

How did you lose him?

At the meeting point, I heard a gunshot and raced over.

He had already taken down the officers and released the girls.

He was already gone!

Already gone?

If it was after he was already gone, you should have returned to the meeting point.

I heard you never returned.

You. You're hiding something, aren't you?

What do you mean, hiding something?

What reason do I have to hide anything from the likes of you?!

Right, there doesn't appear to be a reason to hide anything.

So, why do I find you suspicious?

Didn't you swear before the chairman that you'd catch Gaksital?

Even to come and ask for my help wouldn't be enough.

So, why are you lounging like this?

You focus on finding Yang Baek. I'll take care of Gaksital.

I have to catch Gaksital in order to catch Yang Baek.

Because the two of them will definitely meet...

Frankly speaking,

I still strongly suspect that Lee Kang To might be Gaksital.

If you're that suspicious,

race over to the Jongro Police Station and shoot him.

Am I saying I want to capture Imperial Police Officer Lee Kang To?

I have to capture Lee Kang To wearing the gaksital.

I really hope... that you're not lying to me.

[Geumhwa Pavilion]

This news is like a welcome rain during a drought.

A young man from the peninsula goes to the World Boxing Championships and grabs victory!

See?

The Japanese-Joseon unification is already making its mark. Making its mark!

Congratulations, Your Excellency.

It is all due to your good and just governance, Your Excellency.

The Joseon people have never claimed victory in worldwide tournaments.

Indeed, it is receiving the grace of His Majesty, the Emperor,

that has enabled us to enjoy such an honor.

Now, now then.

Commissioner Kimura! Stop frowning so!

What need is there to fret whether Yang Baek is coming or not?

Even if he comes, what can he do but die?

Your Excellency!

Who... Who is coming, Your Excellency?!

Honey, honey.

Y- y-your Excellency. D- d-did you just say Ya-ya-Yang Baek?

Wh-why are you becoming so frightened?

The monster made a hit list of seven targets to be killed.

and is inciting the ignorant people to kill pro-Japanese patriots, Your Excellency!

Honey, honey.

If the Joseon people find out he's coming,

there may be another Manse riot (*March 1st Movement).

Then, could one of us end up stabbed like Lee Gong?

Ah, please don't worry too much.

How could the Joseon people know that Yang Baek is coming to Joseon?

Why wouldn't they know?!

He's got lackeys strewn all over the place!

Even if he were to come into Gyeongseong,

he will come in secret and leave in secret.

Now, now.

Don't worry too much.

Commissioner Kimura.

Even if just for the sake of illustrating Naeseonilche (Japan and Joseon as one body),

let's make the welcoming ceremony of the World Champion Boxer extremely big and grand.

Yes, sir.

Now then...

To the perfect unification of Japan and Joseon,

let's drink to that.

Cheers!

Cheers!

Open this at home. Make sure you do it at home.

Ahjumma, please open this at home. All right?

Please bring this with you to the parade for the boxer tomorrow.

What is this?

- The Taegeukgi (Korean national flag). - Taegeukgi...

Open it at home.

Please read this.

It's all a lie that they are recruiting Joseon nurses for the war.

They are recruiting "comfort women."

You must not be fooled. Please spread the word.

- Please. - Thank you.

Excuse me.

No! Open it at home.

I'll distribute them for you. Don't worry and just go home.

W- w-who are you?

Have you heard of the Dong Jin Gyeolsadae (Do-or-Die Corps)?

Don't worry, and go home.

It's dangerous here.

Who was that?

He says he's from the Dong Jin Gyeolsadae.

Dong Jin Gyeolsadae?

Hurrah for the Joseon young!!

Hurrah!

Hurrah for the Daehan (Korean) young!

Hurrah!

Hurrah for the Joseon young!

Hurrah for the Joseon young!

Hurrah for the Joseon young!

Hurrah!

Hurrah!

[Joseon Young Man's Spirit Soars]

Chief Murayama.

Are you really going to do your job like this?

I'm sorry.

Bring in this boxer right away!

How dare he tear off the Japanese flag?!

As a matter of fact, Captain Kimura is holding him for interrogation.

Captain Kimura.

Don't go easy on him because he's a world champion,

and interrogate him thoroughly!

We don't need an athlete that doesn't compete with the Japanese spirit!

As I was interrogating him, I realized we can't let this newspaper off the hook either.

What?

The newspaper that was supporting the boxer is this newspaper, the Joseon Joongang Daily.

Then, these guys planned...

That's right.

Without advance preparation,

the Joseon people would not have been able to wave the Taegeukgi.

Then, the Joseon Joongang Daily is behind today's Taegeukgi riot?!

Bring them all in at once!

Move, you bastard! Hurry up!

- Come here! Come here! - Let go! Let go!

- Come here, you bastard! - Let go, let go!

- Come here! Come here! - Let go! Let go!

Bastard!

Let go!

All the newspaper reporters and employees had prior criminal records:

Violating the Maintenance of Public Peace Act.

So, did you find out anything?

I think that the man behind them is previous president, Dong Jin.

Dong Jin?

The heinous, most wanted on the blacklist?

He vanished three months ago. Unfortunately, his whereabouts are unknown.

How are we going to find a bastard who has vanished?

Commissioner, what's there to worry about?

Then, do you have some sort of secret method to find a man who has vanished?

Don't worry.

I do have a hidden card to draw out Dong Jin.

- The long trip was hard on you, wasn't it? - No. I'm all right.

Wow, Gyeongseong is nice, indeed.

Very nice.

Your Excellency, it seems your girth has expanded a bit lately.

Oh really?

I've been eating a lot lately.

Wow, so this is the famous Jung Ja Ok Tailor Shop.

Wow, look at these colors.

Just a moment.

It's fantastic, isn't it?

Welcome.

May we look at some suits?

Yes, this way please.

Mm, nice.

Looks like I did gain some weight, huh?

I should lose some weight.

[Patriotic Spirit]

[Daehan (Korean) Independence]

- You've been through so much. - You too, comrade.

It must have been so tiring to come all the way here.

So glad to see you.

Glad to see you.

Have you been well?

It's been tough, hasn't it?

No, I'm fine.

Father!

Boon.

Make your greeting. This is Master Yang Baek.

Master, this is my daughter.

Master!

Master!

You must have had a rough time getting here.

Master!

Comrades.

Let me embrace you all!

Late breaking news!

Master Dong Jin quoted in the Gyeongseong Daily!

Late breaking news! Read all about it!

Master Dong Jin quoted in the Gyeongseong Daily!

[Master Dong Jin encourages nurses to treat the brave soldiers of the Imperial Army]

These days,

because unfounded rumors have been spreading,

no matter how we advertise, the results have been weak.

And so,

since he's so popular with young people, I borrowed Dong Jin's name.

Nice. Very nice.

If you print something like that a couple more times, could the missing Dong Jin stay hidden?

He'd come out just from bitterness at the injustice.

It's a brilliantly original idea. Well done, President Park.

That's right!

That is precisely what you call a win-win,

altogether beneficial, no bad-side, all-round, complete win...

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

President Park? President Park, what's the matter? What's going on?

It's G-gaksital!

I understand.

Lee Kang To. Where is Lee Kang To?

Excuse me?

- He hasn't come in yet. - Is that so?

Goiso. Gaksital has shown up at the Gyeongseong Daily.

Go and take a look.

Excuse me?

Now!

Yes, sir!

Everybody, move out. To the Gyeongseong Daily!

Yes, sir!

You besmirch the name of the man who spent his whole life fighting for independence.

You sold the daughters of the fatherland.

You deceive your fellow countrymen to fill your own belly!

I have come to punish you for your crimes.

Ueno Rie, I'm asking you for the last time.

Lee Kang To is Gaksital, isn't he?

You fool.

I asked you, how did you confirm it?!

There is no way to find Master Dong Jin.

Lee Kang To is looking for Dong Jin, the Dong Jin whom Yang Baek wants to meet.

Who are you?

What's going on between you two?!

What? The Dong Jin Gyeolsadae (Do-or-Die Corps)?

I will find it.

Won't it be dangerous?

Gye Soon, do you think Shunji wouldn't do that to you too?

Why can't you think of the possibility you might become a victim too?

What can I help you with?

Would it be all right if I killed your daughter, Chairman?

I need your warrior, Chairman. I will stake my life on it.
