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.

I'm sorry.

When I'm late, I usually come in this way.

Really?

I guess I should learn that too.

Did everyone go somewhere?

They were mobilized.

Officer Sato.

Can you get me an iced coffee?

With lots of ice?

A lot of ice would be good.

[Gaksital]

Slippery bastard...

You think you can fool me to the very end?

Wait and see.

I will strip you of your mask with my own hands.

Have a seat.

Kang To.

Help me out, will you?

Take the lead in the Gaksital case.

What will you do, then?

Isn't Gaksital your case?

I'm dying because of the Taegeukgi riot yesterday.

The Government-General has been flipped upside down.

They're completely hounding me to catch the ring-leader because they're paranoid,

that there might be another March 1st riot. (Independence Demonstrations 3/1/1919)

Put Goiso on the case.

How would a mere officer suffice?

You think Goiso has what it takes?

Hey, are you really going to just continue being a low-level officer?

You need to get your proper position back.

All right.

Do you need support? Who should I assign to you?

No, that's all right.

Just make sure Goiso doesn't interfere.

Okay.

Captain, President Park was attacked by Gaksital!

This time, he actually killed him.

Goiso.

Sato Hiroshi will handle the Gaksital case for the time-being. Let it go.

Excuse me?

Sato... but why?

I'll start by going to the scene.

Yeah, all right. Go on.

This is Sato Hiroshi of the Jongro Police.

It's me.

Can you come to the Jung Ja Ok Tailor Shop right now?

There's a guest whom you'll be glad to meet.

I understand. I'll be right there.

Ishida!

Yes, sir!

Leave him alone.

You're not even going to have him followed?

Right now, it's more important for that bastard to let his guard down.

[Jung Ja Ok Tailor Shop]

Welcome.

Welcome.

The master is waiting.

The master has really wanted to meet you.

Master.

Allow me to introduce myself.

I am Lee Kang To.

Please receive my bow.

No need for a bow.

Thank you.

Thank you!

Thank you!

Hong.

Yes, Master.

I have a mother who is over 80 years old.

She ordered me,

to boil these potatoes for you,

when I meet you.

These are potatoes that my mother grew with her hands,

so they should be very tasty.

Master, give it to me.

I'll do that.

No, I'll do it.

Comrade, don't you know how much he's been waiting to do this,

the whole time we were traveling to Gyeongseong?

That's true.

I guess I forgot.

Here.

Say "ah. "

Go on.

Kang San, you're hungry, aren't you?

Eat some of this.

Yes, Mother.

Are you still...

Hand them over.

Hand them over.

I said hand them over.

They dry faster this way.

Aren't those your brother's shoes?

I think when we save some money, we should start by buying Hyung shoes.

They're all holey on the bottom and got all wet.

Aigoo.

Stop worrying about me, and buy yourself some shoes.

How can you pull a rickshaw with tattered rubber shoes?

Don't you worry.

I have sturdy leather shoes.

These!

Oh, the smell. Aigoo.

Come here.

- Come here! - Don't, don't...

Aigoo, you're gonna get hurt.

Aigoo!

Yeah, pour some more.

More, more, okay!

Come over here.

- Come here. - Hyung, come on.

Hey have a glass, have a glass.

If you don't like it, go go!

- Drink it up. - Call the Madame.

Huh? Call the Madame out here.

I...

have never even been told by my father to "Go away. "

That's how I grew up. Me!

Wow, you really can hold a grudge.

How many days has it been now?

Are you belittling me too?

Huh?!

Right.

I'm cowardly.

And thoughtless.

What are you going to do about it?!

Is that something to boast about?

Being cowardly and thoughtless?

Do you think there's anyone who doesn't get scared?

But, no matter how scared you are,

you still have to do what you have to do.

Even our Madame is also...

She's meeting with an important guest, so please...

Hyung.

An important guest?

I think all the Joseon Joongang Daily reporters have been arrested.

And of course, their leader, Reporter Song was also arrested.

In that case,

the letter may not have been delivered to Master Dong Jin.

What if it really wasn't delivered...?

Which police station was Reporter Song taken to?

The Jongro Police Station.

What are you thinking of doing?

Wow. Look at this!

Do you have a new boyfriend? Huh?

Huh?

Is that why you acted so harshly?

Who are you?

What's going on between you two?!

Comrade.

I'll see you again.

Comrade.

Stay safe.

And if you ever need my help, just let me know.

Comrade Tasha.

Then, we've now...

become agents of the *Hanin Patriot Legion too, right?! (*Korean)

Mister Noh.

Just get Director Lee out of here.

Ah, yes.

The police,

already suspect you've entered the country.

If you were to be captured,

you would not be able to avoid death.

Why would you risk that kind of danger and enter Gyeongseong?

I came to meet with Dong Jin.

Master Dong Jin?

He's at the top of the police's most wanted list.

And it's my understanding that he vanished three months ago.

That's why the master came personally.

When men were sent to support Master Dong Jin and his army,

before they could even reach him,

they must have been killed off by the Japanese bastards, as no one returned.

He said he can no longer let young men be killed off,

and he came personally.

When I last came here, the Japanese officers were watching so vigilantly,

I was unable to meet with Master Dong Jin.

In any case, we must find Dong Jin.

We must find him, and then there is something that he and I must do,

with our collective strength.

Master.

The letter you sent to Master Dong Jin asking to meet him...

I don't think it was ever delivered.

What are you saying?

Didn't you say specifically that it was delivered to Dong Jin's aide?

The aide was arrested.

Enough.

Look.

You're a reporter.

If you're a reporter, you should understand words as an ink man should.

Ink?

In an age where authority comes from the muzzle of a gun,

what power does a pen have to understand anything?

It just needs to do what it's told.

You punk...

Do you want to have your pen snapped in half?

It's the high scholars who have their brushes snapped.

But a bastard like me, what for?

This was ordered by your leader, wasn't it?

You all schemed it around the boxer Nam Sung Han's car parade, didn't you?

You passed out Taegeukgis and incited the ignorant Joseon people, didn't you?

Is that what you think?

This son of a bitch...

Must you have a taste of the spiked crate?

I wondered when you'd say that!

Ishida.

Strip this punk of his clothes.

Yes, sir!

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.

"Grandfather will be arriving in Gyeongseong."

It's Yang Baek.

"Jin ahjussi, who lives east of the club..."

Dong Jin?!

So Yang Baek wants to meet Dong Jin?

What the hell are they planning?

As our Great Empire swallows up the lands of China,

even the so-called independence activists are turning pro-Japanese.

And yet, to think there are still morons like this...

Even if everything changes,

the ones who will never take a single step away from the principles of Joseon independence,

are Yang Baek and Dong Jin!

Yang Baek, who led the terrorist rebels abroad,

meeting Dong Jin, who obstinately continues to mobilize rebels within the country,

is disturbing.

Chief Kimura.

Yang Baek or Dong Jin, find them no matter what!

Whatever it takes, you must prevent them from meeting!!

I understand.

I will somehow find a way to get information from Reporter Song,

regarding Master Dong Jin's location.

Do you think it's possible?

Reporter Song knows you as a faithful dog to the Japanese bastards, Lee Kang To.

[Solidarity]

Take this and show it to Reporter Song.

It is something that the master writes for comrades whenever he meets them.

Reporter Song once met Master Yang Baek in Shanghai,

so he'll likely remember.

But,

the handwriting doesn't look like it did before.

If Reporter Song suspects that it wasn't written by Master Yang Baek,

he'll understand if you say that this is the bullet brush stroke style.

Bullet brush stroke style?

After he was shot in Changsha, as you can see, he survived.

However, they were not able to remove the bullet from his body.

Consequently, his right hand shakes.

Without fail, I shall uncover Master Dong Jin's location.

Thank you.

I'll put my trust in you and wait.

What is it?

There is something I need to investigate. All I need is a moment.

Officer Sato!

What is it that you need to investigate?

President Park of the Gyeongseong Daily,

was killed right after printing the article quoting Dong Jin.

I wanted to investigate if Gaksital might be connected to Dong Jin.

All right. I'll look into that.

Didn't you entrust me with the Gaksital case?

Do you want me to just pretend to work on it for a while, then quit?

Trying to get in to see Dong Jin's aide?

It could be that Gaksital and Dong Jin know each other.

Sato Hiroshi, aren't you going in the wrong direction in this investigation?

Aside from the falsified encouragement he attributed to Dong Jin,

Park In Sam has committed other atrocities against the Joseon people.

Why have you just latched on to Dong Jin?

I understand. I'll try another direction then.

[Delinquent Rebel Instigator, Dong Jin]

The guy who tells me he'll try another direction digs up Dong Jin's records?

Lee Kang To and Dong Jin, the Dong Jin whom Yang Baek wants to meet...

Are Lee Kang To and Yang Baek really on the same side?

Is the bastard really Gaksital?

[Geumhwa Pavilion]

Chairman!

Please avenge my father.

My father could not even shut his eyes as he died.

Please avenge him so he can rest in peace!

If you would only catch Gaksital,

then, until every drop of blood in me dries up and my bones are burned,

I shall pledge to you my undying loyalty.

Ueno Rie, did you hear that?

I'm sorry.

I had no idea that Gaksital would attack the Gyeongseong Daily.

After finding out minute details of his movements,

next time, without fail, I shall capture him.

If another Kishokai member becomes a sacrifice due to Gaksital,

Ueno Rie, you will have to offer up your neck.

Did you say your name was Park Sung Ho?

Yes, sir!

I will bestow upon you Kishokai membership in your father's stead.

As you have just sworn, I hope that you will become a great patriot.

Thank you, Chairman!

With deference to the name of the country and the law of the land,

as a faithful imperial subject,

I will dedicate my life and pledge my complete loyalty!

You can go now.

Even though he lost his father due to his father's loyalty to the empire,

he's dying to be Japanese. There are people like that all over Joseon.

Conduct yourself properly.

I will heed your words.

Move.

I have a reason to see this woman.

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

You know I can meet your father as soon as I step out of this room, right?

And you know I'm not the sort to let you off the hook, don't you?

Lee Kang To is Gaksital, isn't he?

You fool.

You went mad over a wench, and now your judgment is clouded.

What?

The Gaksital I fought with at Geumhwa Pavilion,

definitely suffered, on his right arm and right thigh,

deep sword wounds.

Because you had been suspecting Lee Kang To,

I checked to see if he had those wounds.

He was fine.

He was clean.

How did you check and confirm that?

Why?

You think I'm lying again?

Right.

This is the extent of your capacity for judgment.

I asked you how you confirmed it!

Ask Masako!

Masako!

Yes, Captain.

Have Lee Kang To and Lala met here recently?

Yes, they had a drink together not too long ago.

Detective Lee passed out,

so Miss Lala asked me to take care of him and then she left.

You fool...

You went mad over a wench, and now your judgment is clouded.

You fool...

You went mad over a wench...

Your judgment is clouded...

There's no way to find Master Dong Jin.

They even slipped his aide out of the torture room.

What about his family?

He must have family.

An explosive went off in his house,

and the entire family was massacred.

Those rotten bastards...

Well, after all,

the bastards are capable of cruelly assassinating one country's king and queen.

I suppose the family of one independence fighter is hardly difficult.

You know the Taegeukgi incident yesterday?

Officially, it's a random independence activity by the people;

but I believe that Dong Jin's *Gyeolsadae was behind it. (*Do-or-Die Corps)

Then, if you find the Gyeolsadae members who participated,

won't you be able to find Master Dong Jin?

In any case, we should look for them.

Master Yang Baek says that he must meet with Master Dong Jin.

That there is something they must do together...

So, I must, without fail, enable them to meet.

[Joseon Government-General Building]

Those... rotten bastards!

Are they that adamantly opposed to my becoming the newspaper president?!

Honey, honey...

Why, what's the matter with our Count?

I pressured them to fire their current president,

and hire Lee Si Yong as the president of the Joseon Joongang Daily.

Then, the stockholders...

unanimously decided to choose the way of "death before dishonor,"

and declared they would cease publishing.

Those, those, those die-hard bastards.

I hear that from the president to the lowest ranks,

they all have criminal records of violating the Maintenance of Public Peace Act.

It figures that their actions are so low-down as well.

When did our count say he wanted to run the newspaper for the money?

Out of a sense of social responsibility and a sense of duty,

he's willing to be the mouthpiece of the government-general!

Ah, Countess.

It's quite enough for the Gyeonseong Daily to be favorable towards the government-general.

Anyhow, we need at least one newspaper to express frustration with the government.

That way, it is in line with the government-general's policy of,

"civilized governance." (notion of enlightened rule without military force)

Yes, of course.

Then,

let's not drag this discussion out any longer.

Yes.

I understand, Your Excellency.

Goiso, call that wench.

Excuse me? That wench?

Yeah.

The wench from the circus troupe...

Oh Mok Dan?

Ahh, Han Gye Soon?

Call her in at once.

Yes, sir. I understand.

You should have seen it too, Unni.

Do you know what a joyous thrill it was?

All the Joseon people in Gyeongseong,

came running out,

waving the Taegeukgi,

cheering "Hurrah for the Joseon young!"

I got teary and started trembling inside.

Aigoo.

During the Manse Movement (March 1st Movement),

do you know how many people died? Is that a joyous thrill?!

There were over 20,000 people injured or killed!

Whenever the Taegeukgi was unfurled,

the god-awful gunshot noises...

It was a living hell, a living hell!

Aigoo, just thinking about it...

Still, my heart feels so full when I see a stream of fluttering Taegeukgis.

Sun Hwa, will you show that to me just one more time?

Huh? Just a second.

Where could they have made this?

When there are watchful Japanese eyes all around...

They said they were part of the Dong Jin Gyeolsadae.

The man who gave this to me said he was part of the Dong Jin Gyeolsadae.

Dong Jin Gyeolsadae?

Oh, why am I so itchy?

Hey Oh Mok Dan, come see me.

Why does that son of a bitch keep popping up in here?

Unni, what do we do? He must have seen it.

It's all right. Don't worry.

Sun Hwa, did it show?

I was pretending to scratch my chest.

I think it did.

What do we do?

What are we going to do?

I really want to fulfill Master Yang Baek's request.

I want to help him with all my might.

But I don't know a way to find the information.

What did Master Yang Baek ask of you?

He said he came to meet Master Dong Jin who vanished.

Risking his life to get here,

he said there's something the two of them must do.

Master Dong Jin?

Why? Do you know something?

A few days ago in the Jongro market, by chance,

Sun Hwa met a man who said he was in the Dong Jin Gyeolsadae.

What did you say?

Dong Jin Gyeolsadae?

If you meet with him,

do you think you would be able to find Master Dong Jin?

I think I'd be able to find him.

Even if it turns out not to be the case, I have to try.

I have to find him somehow.

I'll look into it. Don't worry and go back.

Won't it be dangerous?

I think it would be much more dangerous for you to be in the Jongro market.

It seems that Oh Mok Dan's father has come into Gyeongseong.

Have you seen him?

No.

Since Damsari is a master of disguise,

make sure you check out anyone Oh Mok Dan sees,

and keep your eyes wide open.

These days, she just stays at the inn.

Only Lee Kang To comes and goes now and then.

What? Now and then?

Why?

I saw him come in just now before I came.

The punk couldn't meet Dong Jin's aide,

so he rifles through Dong Jin's case file,

and then races to see Mok Dan?

From now on, you are Oh Mok Dan's shadow.

When Lee Kang To comes to see Mok Dan, when he leaves,

what they talk about, how long he stays...

Bring me all the information.

You can do a good job, right?

Go on, then.

Sun Hwa, do you remember that man's face?

Of course, I remember.

I'm sure I'd recognize him as soon as I see his face.

Huh?

Unni, just a second.

Excuse me...

Oh, I'm sorry.

- It's not him? - No, it's not him.

How do we find him?

He has no distinct features.

We don't know his name.

Oh, I really would recognize him if I saw his face.

Sun Hwa, stay here for a moment.

Why? Where are you going?

I just need to meet with someone.

Who?

A friend. I'll be right back.

Unni!

Gye Soon, why did you run away?

Who ran away?!

I just continued to go my way.

You're the one who chased me!

Gye Soon.

You saw Shunji kill Oh Dong Nyun ahjumma.

You saw him haul in Troupe Leader Jo and torture him.

You think Shunji wouldn't do that to you too?

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

Even if money is precious, is it more important than your life?

You saw Sun Hwa being dragged away, didn't you?

You or I could be dragged away just as easily.

If Gaksital didn't show up,

what do you think would have happened to Sun Hwa, Bu Yong and So Hwa?

Why is it that you don't know that helping Shunji is hurting Gaksital?

I'll take care of my business!

Mind your own!

Excuse me.

I've been curious.

What's your name?

I found you.

Unni...

Unni!

I found him! I found him!

Glad to meet you.

You're from the Dong Jin Gyeolsadae, right?

You're Independence Fighter Commander Damsari's daughter, aren't you?

I saved you when you were being chased by Lee Kang To.

Do you remember?

I remember.

This is Sato Hiroshi of the Jongro Police.

What?

Sun Hwa finally found the Gyeolsadae.

I think we can find Master Dong Jin.

You did a good job.

Where are your friends right now?

I understand.

Oh my goodness.

To think that Lee Kang To is helping us...

When he was crying, saying he wanted to save you,

I did feel he was being sincere, for some reason.

So, he's been a complete Joseon person inside since then.

From now on, if Shunji tortures you again,

Lee Kang To won't stand for it.

I guess we've gained a strong inside connection in the Jongro Police.

Chairman, it's Kimura Shunji.

What is it?

Why did you want to meet with me alone?

Would it be...

all right if I killed your daughter, Chairman?

What?

Ueno Rie definitely knows who Gaksital is.

And yet, since she's not revealing the bastard's identity,

a hostile confrontation seems inevitable between us.

Didn't I tell you to catch Yang Baek?

Yang Baek is also connected to Gaksital.

If we just catch Gaksital, we can capture Yang Baek, Dong Jin, all of them.

I suppose your statement that Ueno Rie knows Gaksital's identity,

is absolutely true?

I would stake my life on it.

Gaksital will certainly attempt to help Dong Jin's aide escape.

It is a prime opportunity to capture the bastard.

What can I help you with, then?

I need your warrior, Chairman.

I'll go.

Master Dong Jin knows my face,

so I think it's best that I go.

But, the Dong Jin Gyeolsadae member doesn't know you, Comrade.

I think it would be best if I go and make sure it's safe.

But, Dong Jin doesn't know you.

But...

he probably knows of Gaksital.

If you go to the entrance to the Namsan mineral springs,

a man who must meet Master Dong Jin will come and find you.

Who could it be?

Then...

the person who wants to meet with Master Dong Jin...

is Gaksital?

Gaksital!

You don't know how much I like you, do you?!

Is this a dream or reality?

Thank you! Thank you!

What about Master Dong Jin?

It's here.

Master!

[Solidarity]

I have fully understood Master Yang Baek's intention.

If only to work toward the same objectives as Master Yang Baek,

I must help Reporter Song escape from the Jongro Police.

After Reporter Song has safely escaped, I'll work with Master Yang Baek.

I will help Reporter Song escape.

Leave that to me.

No.

United we stand, divided we fall.

If we are divided, we fall. United, we shall certainly stand.

You need to plan for a greater feat with Master Yang Baek.

Moreover, Japanese officers are frantically trying to find you.

Please trust me and leave this to me.

Thank you, Lieutenant.

Lieutenant Goiso, you put Reporter Song back, didn't you?

Yes, I brought him back this morning.

It seems useless to interrogate him,

so get him sent over to the prosecutor's office.

Yes, sir!

This won't do.

Let's end today's meeting at this point.

Captain, are you feeling ill?

I think I should get some rest today.

I'm going to go see the chief for a bit.

Yes, sir.

Chief.

I will need to be away from the station all day today.

Why?

What's going on?

I'll submit my report after I return.

Have you found out anything about Yang Baek?

If today's plan is successful, Yang Baek can also be captured.

If the plan is successful?

Are you implying that,

you do not intend to tell me what that plan is right now?

I ask for your understanding.

You...

are extremely arrogant, I see.

I don't know what it is, but it better succeed, no matter what.

I...

won't give you any leeway because you're the son of my superior.

I understand.

This is Lee Kang To.

They are sending Reporter Song to the prosecutor's office today.

I understand.

I will get prepared.

I'm going home early to get some rest.

I'll see you tomorrow.

You prepared thoroughly, right?

Yes.

Preparing for the unforeseen, I arranged for martial arts officers.

Are these them?

Yes, sir!

Fine.

Move out!

Move out!

Gaksital!

Run over him! Run right over him!

Get him!!

- Comrade. - Let's go.
