Lee Kang To, what are you doing? Go catch that bastard!

Yes, sir!

Gaksital!

[Gaksital]

[Jongro Police Station]

Are you all right?

Son of a bitch...

Give it to me. I'll do it.

[Episode 24]

Gaksital has always worked alone.

Why do you think they all suddenly appeared?

I don't suppose you've figured out,

that I've stripped off your mask?

I told you.

That Gaksital isn't one guy, but an organization.

Wrong.

The bastard who killed my brother is the real one.

The rest must be fakes.

Like the suicide bomber at Damsari's public execution...

True, there was probably one bastard who wore the mask first.

Anyhow, why would Gaksital have hit the administrative offices?

Why, when they have nothing to do with the "retribution for evil acts" message?

I don't know.

Yang Baek and Dong Jin...

And you, joining in the camaraderie...

Do you think I won't be able to find out what you're scheming?

Oh, right.

The punk we dragged in... can I interrogate him?

You?

That was the bastard who used to beat up my brother.

I really think that bastard killed my mother and brother.

My senses say I'm 100 percent right.

But I couldn't go after him because there was no evidence.

Really?

And you just sat and watched a bastard like that?

Can I take just ten minutes of this opportunity?

As much as you want...

Beat him as much as you want.

Thanks.

It was you.

It was you, wasn't it?

You killed my brother and mother, didn't you?!

Kill? What the hell are you talking about, kill?

I hate you, you Jap lap dog,

so I set a fire, but I never killed anyone.

You think I'm like you?

You punk!

I'm going to kill you!

Going through that much effort to put on an act,

means he doesn't know I've taken off his mask.

Where's Dong Jin?

Have you heard of "bulmyeong, bulgeo, bulgwa"?

What?

"Bulmyeong": Never state your name.

"Bulgeo": Never state your location.

"Bulgwa": Never state your mission!

That is the triple vow of the Dong Jin Gyeolsadae (Do-or-die Corp)

You... do you want to die being tortured?

We're taking back our country.

How can we do that without staking our lives?

Officer Takeda...

That bastard killed my mother and brother.

I might kill him during the interrogation.

Will you be all right with that?

Even if it becomes known that you stood by and watched?

Don't get carried away.

[Solidarity]

Thanks to you,

I was able to go and show this to Master Dong Jin.

Thank you.

What?

[Solidarity]

You...

Do you think you can help Master Yang Baek and Master Dong Jin along with me?

Hold on a minute...

Before we went to meet Master Dong Jin,

where did we meet?

The mineral springs at Namsan...

You said you liked Gaksital.

You said you weren't sure if it was a dream or reality.

Look, we don't have time!

Before the bastards figure out our objective,

we have to derail their investigation.

Derail?

What do we have to do?

This is Kimura Shunji of the Jongro Police.

Captain Kimura.

Have you found the culprit behind the attacks?

The four administrative offices, including

the central Gyeonseong Administration Building, were set on fire simultaneously!

This is a sign that Yang Baek and Dong Jin are definitely working together!

No matter what happens, capture those bastards as soon as possible!

Got it?!

Yes, sir.

Kimura Shunji is going to ask you about the Dong Jin Gyeolsadae.

Then you must act as if the torture has broken you down, and confess,

giving false information.

You must make Kimura Shunji believe you.

Takeda!

Yes, sir!

You killed them, didn't you?!

You killed them, you bastard!

Takeda!

Yes, sir!

Let go!

Let go!

Drag him off to the torture room!

Yes, sir!

Did you find out anything?

Did the punk confess?

He insists I have no evidence, that son of a bitch.

[Joseon Government-General Building]

Commissioner Kimura!

How the hell are you maintaining public peace and order?

How can such vile terrorist acts happen in Gyeongseong?

And simultaneously, at that?!

I'm sorry, Your Excellency.

Chief Murayama!

Is it true the terrorists wore *gaksitals as they set fires?! (*bride masks)

At this rate, what if all the Joseon people begin running around with gaksitals on?

Your Excellency.

What do you mean, all the Joseon people?

From the police forces of each province to small local police stations,

our officers are keeping a water-tight watch over the Joseon people.

In an urgent crisis,

with our mighty imperial troops, we can just wipe out that mere 20 million.

Fool!

We have to make them fight for His Majesty, the emperor, and die in the battlefields!

Are you saying we should just kill off the Joseon people without getting any use?!

Is it even imaginable to place impure elements amidst our great imperial troops?

In the midst of Nakamuras, Hayashis, Kintaros...

Does it make sense to stick in some Kim or some Park?

Chief Murayama.

As it is,

for the sake of integration into the mighty imperial army,

Japanese style names should be created for the surnames of the Joseon people.

We are discussing the plan to eventually change all names.

That is preposterous, Your Excellency!

To give civilized names to barbarians like the Josenjing?!

If we want to drag the Josenjing to the battlefields,

we have no choice.

If we ask them to give us their lives for nothing,

do you think they would come?

That is correct. You are right.

We must at least give them our ethnic family names.

We must at least give them that privilege,

in order to send them out onto the battlefields.

Going forward, not only in Gyeongseong, but all throughout the north,

the Dong Jin Gyeolsadae (Do-or-Die Corps),

will demolish the offices managing the Joseon people's family registries.

The Japanese bastards will certainly attempt to create a new census registry.

People must not cooperate in the creation of a new registry.

My fellow countrymen, you must spread the word.

The circus troupe and I will spread the word among the people.

First and foremost,

we must stop our Joseon youths from being dragged off as human bullet shields.

We need to send those youths to the Dong Jin Gyeolsadae,

and train them as a secret military organization.

Only through the development of a secret military organization,

will a nationwide uprising become possible.

Master, in that case securing funds and weapons is urgent.

Yes, as it is, that is an urgent issue we must resolve.

How about hitting the traitors contributing defense funds to the Imperial Army?

[Patriot Count Lee Si Yong Donates Airplane]

Aigoo, aigoo...

Now then.

Count Lee, your patriotism merits reward.

We shall name the airplane the "Lee Si Yong."

And I'm thinking we should have the christening ceremony at Yeoido Airfield.

Your Excellency!

As a subject of the empire, I only did what was my duty to do.

But, if you must...

If you could name it after my one and only son,

and christen it the "Lee Hae Seok,"

that would be an even more brilliant honor, Your Excellency.

Ah! Well, if that is what you want, that is what we'll do.

Your Excellency.

Our Countess, the Count Lee Si Yong's wife,

encouraged contributions of gold rings and even gold hairpins,

all in the name of supporting the imperial troops,

and set up a Patriot Funds Tea Society. (women's pro-Japanese fundraising social group)

Ahh, gold rings and even gold hairpins?

Your Excellency.

Reports of the imperial army victories are all over China.

Joseon women should also rally

and repay even one hundredth of a percent of the emperor's favor.

Ahh, you are so right.

Your Excellency.

Our league of 57 organizations across the nation,

the League for the General Mobilization of the National Spirit,

is collecting nationwide for a defense fund.

There will be an extremely large defense fund collected shortly.

As a matter of fact,

the deep patriotism that you all have shown has been so impressive,

that the Joseon people,

may soon also be able to use our Japanese surnames.

We are considering granting the privilege.

Oh my, this is so so so...

To think, the day will come when we Joseon people can have Japanese names...

Now, finally, it feels like

we've become perfectly complete subjects of the empire, Your Excellency!

Why did you set the fires?

Th-th-that... I-I don't know.

You won't talk, even if I do this?!

I'll talk.

I'll tell you.

Why were the administrative offices set on fire?

What do you mean, why?

We did it because we couldn't take it any longer.

Land tax, building tax, occupant tax, market tax,

business tax, sanitation tax...

They drop tax bombs day in and day out.

Don't you know they squeeze the blood, sweat, and tears from the Joseon people?

The fires at the four administrative offices in Gyeongseong,

were set by the Dong Jin Gyeolsadae, weren't they?!

That's right.

Where is your hideout?!

That, I don't know.

Master Dong Jin, himself...

personally comes to meet us.

Personally comes to meet you?

What did he say when he met with you?

What did Dong Jin say?!

With Master Yang Baek...

What?

With Yang Baek?

With him, what?!

What?!

They're planning to...

blow up the Government-General Building.

How dare they...

Takeda!

Yes, sir.

Call in Lee Kang To.

Lee Kang To? Why?

We can't have Lee Kang To hurting you?

Lee Kang To!

How does it feel?

A little better?

Excuse me?

Didn't you say this is the punk who killed your brother and mother?

Don't you see how I've beaten him down?

Did you find out anything?

No, I just wasted my strength.

He is a small fish who knows nothing.

A small fish?

I'm frustrated, but since I beat him up for you, it wasn't a complete waste.

Let's go out.

Takeda!

Yes, sir!

Lock this punk up in a cell.

Yes, sir.

So, you're saying Yang Baek risked death to enter Joseon in order to...

blow up the Government-General Building?

There was an incident at the Unification Commemoration where Damsari and his group

planned a terrorist explosion, but failed.

This time,

as if to send a message, it appears they plan to blow up the whole building,

to show the world the will of revolt among the Joseon people.

Chairman.

It is a confession he extracted directly from a Dong Jin Gyeolsadae member.

They have already set fire to four administrative offices,

including the central Gyeongseong building.

Since we've obtained information that they plan to bomb

the top government agency in the colony,

I don't think it would be a bad idea to be cautious and be prepared, Chairman.

Make thorough preparations, Kimura Shunji.

Thank you, Chairman.

You should have guessed that I have something to talk to you about.

Do you remember when I called you a very pitiable woman?

You are a woman, pitiable beyond words.

You say my judgment has been clouded because I'm crazed over some wench?

Why, then, are you so foolish?

You love a bastard with another woman in his heart?

And here I was absolutely unaware, insisting Lee Kang To was Gaksital.

How upset you must have been.

You scoffed on and on at my loving Oh Mok Dan,

and you love a Joseon bastard?

Do you think that bastard can protect you?

If you need somewhere to run away to, come to me.

I can manage looking after a thing like you, if you need it.

Kimura Shunji.

Who the hell are you to take me in?

The impudence... How dare you?

I'm Ueno Rie.

I am Ueno Rie!

I had no idea you were such a weak and fragile woman.

Officer Kakawa, it's been a long time!

Oh, Oh Mok Dan.

Office Abe is well, isn't he?

The circus troupe grew attached to him.

Of course.

Then, until we meet again...

The family registry at the central Gyeongseong Administration Building,

and the Yongsan administrative office were only half destroyed by the fire.

But the Dongbu and Yeongdeungpo administrative offices,

through our struggle, were completely destroyed!

You have all worked hard.

This mighty achievement has likely made the bastards' blood run cold.

Our country may have collapsed.

But we have never given them our hearts and minds.

All of us,

until the day we become independent,

will become the seeds scattered and sown all throughout the country!

Divided we fall!!

United we stand!!

Divided we fall!!

United we stand!!

Thank you, Comrade.

Thanks to you, my life was saved.

No need to thank me.

This is a message from Master Yang Baek.

I have heard that the Dong Jin Gyeolsadae is recruiting men

in each of the 13 provinces in the country,

who are rejecting the military draft.

We must train those youths and create a secret military organization.

It is absolutely necessary to achieve our goal of a second mass armed uprising.

In order to do that, we first need funds.

I will pour my all into helping you, so stay strong.

Thank you.

Master.

Did you know that a Dong Jin Gyeolsadae member,

is locked up in the Jongro Police Station?

I know.

Of course I know.

When I think of the cruel torture our Deuk Su will be facing...

I plan to help him escape as soon as possible.

Not yet.

He and I are currently working on a counterplot.

What do you mean, a counterplot?

We've planted false information that you and Master Yang Baek

are intending to bomb the Government-General Building.

Bomb the Government-General Building?

Commander Damsari did attempt a bombing there before,

so they will likely believe it.

But, why did you leak that sort of false information?

As Master Yang Baek said,

if we are to successfully orchestrate a mass armed uprising,

we desperately need funds more than anything else.

The pro-Japanese League for the General Mobilization of the National Spirit

are currently conducting a nationwide collection for a defense fund.

Before that money gets handed over to the Japanese military,

we must seize it.

That's it.

If we could get hold of those funds,

our armed revolt will have already half succeeded.

The day those funds enter Gyeongseong,

security will be extremely tight.

We plan to leak the information that it will be on that day,

that the Government-General Building will be bombed.

Thank you.

I put all my trust in you.

In order to bomb the Government-General Building,

they will need a lot of explosives.

Therefore, the bastards,

will be focusing their efforts on obtaining explosives.

Before the last terrorist attack by Damsari at the Unification Commemoration,

they robbed a police station armory.

What?

A police station armory?

Which witless police station was that?!

Your Excellency.

What good could come out of dredging up Commissioner Konno's maladministration?

I ask that the security at the five police stations in Gyeongseong,

be especially tightened.

Furthermore, starting today, the Government-General Building's security...

I'm going to ask the military command in Joseon to take care of that.

Your Excellency.

When you have the Government-General Police right next to you,

how could you ask the military?

Do not worry.

I, Murayama Yoshio, will be responsible for Your Excellency's safety.

Chief Murayama!

You just focus on capturing Yang Baek and Dong Jin!

Captain Kimura.

Can't you find out when the bastards are going to bomb

the Government-General Building?

Hey, Kim Deuk Su.

Come here.

What are you calling me for, you lap dog mutt?!

You... You want to die?

I was thinking of giving it to you since your mother begged so much...

What is it?

Give it to me.

Hand it over.

Hand it over!

Have some.

Here.

They're going to ask when the bombing will be.

Say you'll find out and use it as an excuse to get released.

When is it?

Excuse me?

I mean the day the Government-General Building will be bombed.

Well...

I wouldn't know until it's time.

Is there any need to advertise it ahead of time?

Do you want me to find out for you?

Don't you think Dong Jin's group of thugs will be suspicious of you?

We don't know our fellow members' faces very well.

Master Dong Jin comes and meets with everyone individually.

Fine. I'll release you.

However...

if you try any nonsense, you know what will happen, right?

Aigoo... That Lee Kang...

Just do something about that Lee Kang To!

I really didn't kill his brother and mother.

All right, don't worry.

Takeda!

When he finishes eating, let him go.

Yes, sir.

[League for the General Mobilization of the National Spirit]

Lieutenant Goiso!

Officers!

Can I have your attention for a moment?

What is it?!

Attention.

Officer Abe has something to say.

The Joseon's League for the General Mobilization of the National Spirit,

is currently raising defense funds.

The Joseon people defense funds?

So?!

S- so,

I thought it would be good if our Jongro Station contributed funds.

You punk. Hey punk!

Who the hell are you to get involved?

Can't you differentiate between shit and bean paste?

Well...

- Even coins are all right, aren't they? - Yes.

The important thing is the spirit of victory for the Imperial Army.

Thank you.

Ay, Lieutenant Goiso.

Didn't you get a raise with your promotion?

What?

Does it bug you?

Does it?

It bugs you, doesn't it?

Are you bitter because I took your position?

You punks, I ought to...

Captain.

Please contribute to the defense fund.

Defense fund?

Yes. So far, only Lieuten...

Officer Lee Kang To has contributed.

Thank you. Thank you, Captain!

Kakawa!

Yes, sir!

Has that punk Lee Kang To been in the office the whole time I was gone?

No.

As soon as you left, Lee Kang To left too.

Really?

Where'd he go?

I saw him get on the streetcar, but...

Oh Mok Dan got off and because of her...

What?

Oh Mok Dan stopped me suddenly.

You lost him?!

Yes, sir.

Goiso!

Yes, sir.

Go and bring in that wench.

Han Gye Soon.

Yes, sir.

Yes, this is the League for the General Mobilization of the National Spirit,

Gyeongseong Chapter, right?

We'd like to contribute money we've collected.

Do Oh Mok Dan and Lee Kang To meet often these days?

N- no.

These days, they don't meet.

Say it again.

Th-these days,

they don't meet.

Again.

Th-th-these days...

You lie?

It's not enough that the bitch and bastard are deceiving me? Now you?!

Who the hell are you anyway?

Now you too?!

Then, Gaksital is a total stranger.

So, why do you keep protecting him?

Ah, because he's Joseon's hero?

For that reason only?

That's right.

He has nothing to do with me,

but he has risked his life to save my father twice.

You... you saw me kill Oh Dong Nyun, didn't you?

Shall I kill you too?

Shall I?

Lie to me one more time, and...

You know, don't you?

Watch Oh Mok Dan carefully.

[Solidarity]

If the Jap bastards try to organize the family registries again,

tell people they must not cooperate.

Okay.

But, what is this, Unni?

They're from Master Yang Baek.

Make sure you spread the news that he has come into Joseon.

Wow, Master Yang Baek...

He's in Joseon?

Let's go.

Mok Dan. Mok Dan!

Gye Soon is acting really strange.

The girl who didn't look like she'd bleed if you pricked her with a needle,

came in looking like she lost her soul...

Why does she keep crying like that?

Is that so?

I'll go and see her.

You go first. I'll follow shortly.

Okay.

Let's go.

Gye Soon, what happened?

What's the matter?

Mok Dan.

I'm scared.

I'm so scared I feel like I'm going to die.

Save me.

Gye Soon.

You know, don't you?

You know I have a family of nine depending on me, don't you?

I started spying for the money.

Because I could make money, because money was coming in, but...

Now, I'm too scared.

If things go wrong, I think they'll kill me too.

If I die, what will my family do?

Don't cry, and tell me everything slowly.

Bit by bit...

He suddenly got angry, saying the bitch and bastard deceived him...

And then,

he held me under water...

I've come to see Captain Kimura Shunji.

Captain Kimura?

Please follow me.

Please have your conversation.

You actually came here?

I guess it's something very urgent.

I came because I have a request.

What is it?

It's not just officers now. Gye Soon is watching me too.

I... won't go anywhere.

I'll stay beside you.

I'll try to give you my heart.

Can't you please just let me be?

You're truly going to try to give me your heart?

Yes, I will!

I will, so please just let me be!

Shut the blinds.

Actually, I'm going through such a hard time, it's making me crazy.

You probably don't know how close to the edge I am, hanging on.

I told you that if you were hiding something from me,

I would absolutely find what it was,

and completely destroy it.

You remember, don't you?

I'm holding on...

Solely,

in anticipation of the look on your face,

at that very moment.

I'm holding on for that one thing!

He must have found out the Young Master is Gaksital.

Go back.

And don't ever come to see me again.

[Patriot Count Lee Si Yong Donates Airplane]

Do you want a drink?

Director Lee.

You've probably figured it out,

but I don't love you.

Then you've been pretending to love me?

I'm sorry.

I needed you, Director Lee.

Need...

For example, to get my father's schedule?

My father is still curious how Damsari's group

approached him on the train.

He has no idea his son is a double agent.

I've been grateful.

That's right.

I'm "not someone you need to worry about."

What does that mean?

That you're someone who wouldn't do anything.

I have a conscience too.

And at times, it hurts more than a toothache.

Really?

I'm glad to hear that.

The gift bond your father received after selling out his country,

was probably 100,000 won, right?

Tell him to not only donate planes to the Jap bastards,

but to donate some to us too.

Madame, do you need money?

Is that why you water down your alcohol?

How come no matter how much I drink and drink,

I don't get drunk?

Honey, honey, Countess.

Even if we changed our surname,

we need to make people aware,

that I'm a member of the old Joseon Royal Family, right?

Oh dear.

Of course!

Naturally, we must.

Lee-Sakura?

Lee-Tanaka?

We're almost there.

Please come to your senses.

Hae Seok.

Hae Seok! Hae Seok!

Why did you drink so much?

Count.

Your son is completely grown up.

What are you so worried about?

Hae Seok, Hae Seok.

Your father is planning to make you a privy councilor!

Since I've donated another airplane,

don't you think they'd be willing to make you a privy councilor, at least?

Count!

What's more urgent than making our Hae Seok a privy councilor

is making him a member of the Kishokai.

Kishokai. Kishokai!

Honey, honey, why didn't I think of that much earlier?!

When the defense fund is collected by

the League for the General Mobilization of the National Spirit,

I'm thinking we should take it to Chairman Ueno.

Whomever we give it to, all that matters is that it goes to the Imperial Army.

Honey, honey, Countess?

You are the best.

You are "ichiban"! (number one)

Honey, honey.

Oh come on!

Really?

Thank you, Director Lee.

I understand.

This is Sato Hiroshi of the Jongro Police.

Tomorrow night at eight o'clock, in the Geumhwa Pavilion VIP Room,

the defense fund will be handed over to the Japs.

Thank you.

I think Shunji must know that you are Gaksital, Young Master.

Gye Soon said that he got angry saying you and I deceived him.

I understand.

Thank you for your message.

May I make a request?

[Jongro Police Station]

Tonight at eight o'clock, are you certain?

I am.

At eight o'clock, they're going to bomb the Government-General Building.

Gaksital, I suppose you also know

what Yang Baek and Dong Jin are planning to do tonight.

We may well meet tonight.

Kimura Shunji... Have you finally figured out who I am?

Shall we see who will win tonight...?

Shall we get started?

[Geumhwa Pavilion]

Today, we welcome new members of the Kishokai.

The Gyeongseong Daily's President Park Sung Mo.

Privy Councilor, Lee Hae Seok.

Park Sung Mo and Lee Hae Seok, continuing the legacy,

are patriots living as loyal subjects of Japan.

From now on, I would like the two of you

to throw away all that is Joseon,

and live as legitimate sons of His Majesty, the emperor.

Yes, sir!

May Yang Baek and Dong Jin's...

spirit of rebellion that is blowing through the peninsula,

be struck down with one sweep of our Kishokai sword.

Kishokai!

Kishokai! Kishokai!

Chairman.

Seeing these two young men sitting here so sturdily,

I think the future of the Kishokai looks bright, Chairman.

Thank you.

Honey, honey.

Chairman.

The defense fund of 100,000 won, collected by

the League for the General Mobilization of the National Spirit,

has just arrived.

Good work.

Countess.

Your efforts have been immense.

Oh dear.

Please don't mention it.

As a subject of His Majesty, the emperor,

I've only done what is my natural duty.

This is all in return for His Majesty's bountiful grace.

Now then, let's all raise our glasses.

Aigoo.

A note...

Father.

The money the pro-Japanese organizations raised as a defense fund,

the 100,000 won raised making a mockery of the Joseon people,

will be used as funds for the independence movement.

I am ashamed to have been born your son,

but I love you, Father.

I...

who have no courage and can only resolve things like this...

Please...

forgive me.

Hae Seok!

Hae Seok!

[There will be karmic retribution] Hae Seok!

Gak...

- Hae Seok... - Count, Count!

Get them.
