At 4:00 this afternoon,

the funeral procession of Lee Gong, renowned for his distinguished efforts,

in the Japanese annexation of Joseon, will make its way toward Yongsan.

[Korea under Japanese rule]

His Majesty, the Emperor of Japan,

mourns the death of Lee Gong as a great loss for the country.

Lee Gong was posthumously promoted, and presented with the highest honor,

the Grand Cordon of the Supreme Order of the Chrysanthemum.

What are you doing?! Clear out everything!

Knock it all out of the way!

Back off!

The funeral procession of patriot Lee Gong,

who worked to preserve peace in the East,

will not only be attended by the members of the royal family and government officials,

but also is expected to draw,

to mourn his passing,

the biggest crowds since the funeral of Emperor Gojong.

This is everything we have!

How are we to make a living now?!

You knew you weren't supposed to set up today!

This is Lee Gong's funeral! Patriot Lee Gong!

Patriot?

Even the neighborhood mutts would laugh at that one!

That's what I'd say.

Sells out his country and forever lives easy,

sucking the blood clear out of the Joseon people...

Patriot?

Damn, screwed up world...

The bastard should be torn to bits and sent to hell!

Why give him such a grand funeral?!

Isn't that right?!

Aish!

Sang Buk!

- Grandfather! - Sang Buk!

- Sang Buk. - Grandfather!

- Sang Buk! - Grandfather.

Sang Bok!

- Sang Buk! - Grandfather!

Sang Buk!

The funeral procession is approaching.

Clear out everything!

Troops!

About face!

Weep!

Mourn!

Troops!

Draw swords!

A patriot who dedicated his life to a brighter Joseon has passed away.

Weep!

Mourn!

Son of a bitch!

After her!

Stop!

You morons!

Stop! Stop!

Get up!

Bingo.

Looks like Lee Gong has served as a patriot even on his way to High Heaven.

Do you know how long I've been looking for you, wench?

Where is he?

Where's Damsari?!

Who's Damsari?

You wench!

- It's Gaksital! - It's Gaksital!

It's Gaksital!

(Gaksital - Bride mask used in Shamanist rituals)

Put me down! Put me down!

Shoot!

Shoot quickly!

[Those who commit evil deeds shall bring disaster upon their descendants]

Shoot!

Shoot! Shoot him!

Get him!

Gaksital!!!

[Gaksital]

[Government-General Building]

[One month before Lee Gong's funeral]

Detective Lee Kang To, promoted to the honor of First Class,

caught the terrorist who eluded 5,000 veteran detectives for three years.

Though close to capture countless times,

as a master of disguise and martial arts,

he managed to escape each time.

The traitor who had eluded the country's finest officers,

Damsari was single-handedly captured by Detective Lee.

As long as I,

Konno Goji, am Commissioner of the Jongro Police,

I will follow the doctrines of His Majesty, the Emperor of Japan.

Regardless of whether you are Japanese or of Joseon descent,

I will evaluate you on your performance only.

I ask that all of you, like Lee Kang To,

strive to put in your very best effort.

Lieutenant Lee Kang To.

*Tenno! (*Japanese Emperor)

His Majesty!

Long live!

Long live!

Long live!

Long live!

Long live!

Long live!

Cheers!

Ah, I wish I could have seen Kimura Kenji's face!

If you're a lieutenant,

that means you're just below Kenji.

Why don't you just take him down while you're at it?

Take him down?

I'm gonna step all over him.

Is there any law that says only a Japanese can be a police captain?

Just hearing it gives me satisfaction.

In this new world,

even a slave can become Prime Minister if he's got the skills.

Just wait and see, see how far up I go!

Hey, Madam, do you want to make a bet?

How far up will Kang To rise?

All right.

Ah, in terms of capability, he's Joseon's best.

But he's still a second class citizen

I bet 100 won on Chief of Police.

Ay!

What?

Hmm, let's see.

I hear that young exciting bachelors first win over officials' wives.

I don't think you'd have any problem,

winning the favor of the Governor-General's wife.

Me,

I bet 1,000 won on Police Commissioner.

Okay.

I, Chu Mary,

bet 10,000 on Governor-General of Joseon!

Bingo!

That's why I like Mary.

Shall we get a little dirty tonight?

I'm always ready, I tell you.

Hey! Let's all get out there!

Hey! We're gonna party till we're dead!

Hey band leader, get ready!

That wench is out here again!

Aigoo!

Ahjumma.

Do you really have a death wish?

How many times have I told you that only Joseon people are allowed here?!

How dare you sell your wares here, when your son is a Jap pawn?!

With your pawn of a son,

you can live well without coming here!

Aigoo.

Mother!

Mother!

Kang San!

Who pushed me?

What a fool.

Kang San, why did you come here?

Uh?

That's our *ddeok (*rice cakes).

Even dogs and pigs will bite and fight if you take their source of food!

Dogs and pigs?

Ahjumma.

You must think you're untouchable because of your Jap-ass wiping son.

But if you crawl out here one more time...

Hey you!

Did you badmouth our Kang To?

You!

He's not even moving.

You fool!

Aigoo! Seriously!

You punk!

- Seriously! - Aigoo, please don't!

Move, kids!

It's dangerous!

Hey kids.

Have you ever tasted this candy?

Wow!

- It's Lee Kang To! - It's Lee Kang To, Lee Kang To!

Ay! Those little punks.

Kang San! Kang San!

Let me go!

You bastard!

Who the hell are you?

Who the hell are you to beat up my brother?!

Hey Jap dog!

What?

Come here, you.

Get over here now!

Everybody, let's catch ourselves the mutt and eat him for dinner!

You punk, stop right there!

Run away! Hurry!

Were you just watching?

A person gets beat up that much and you all just watched?!

I ought to just...

Why, what are you going to do about it?

Are you going to round 'em all up and destroy them?

Kill them all?!

Mother.

I don't have a son like you.

Don't butt in, and just go your own way.

Get lost!

I said get lost!

Here.

Here, here!

Take it and please stop peddling ddeok!

It's money!

Kang San!

Put that down now!

What's wrong with my money?

I told you I wasn't going to take your money.

How could I take that money and face your father when I die?

I...

I... I...

I may be uneducated and ignorant.

But I make more money on my own merit than those guys who've gone to college!

You pathetic fool.

Is working under the bastards who did this to your brother,

something to boast about?

What do you expect me to do?!

Father is dead.

Hyung ended up like that. So what do you expect me to do?!

If I have to be their dog...

Mother, you can't.

Don't do that to our Kang To.

Don't do that to my little brother!

Kang To!

Even if she can't congratulate me...

When I think of what I had to do to get this far...

Do I have to sell everything off like Father,

and run around as an independence fighter?

Do I have to suffer torture like Hyung and become an idiot?

What the hell is Joseon anyway?

What the hell does it matter anyway?!

Has it ever bought me a meal?

Has it ever bought me a pencil?

I'm just trying to make my way.

I'm trying to survive!

You scared me.

Are you going somewhere?

Are you going on a trip?

Are you going to meet a girl?

The son who makes you ashamed to face his father, will disappear.

Enjoy the filial piety of the son who is perfect for you.

And live a long life!

Kang To!

Are you mad because of your hyung?

I'm sorry...

Kang To, wait for me!

Hyung is sorry!

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 have saved money, we should start by buying Hyung new shoes.

They've all got holes and they get 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.

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

Aigoo, you're gonna get hurt.

Aigoo!

Aigoo, stop it.

Where are you going?!

Lee Kang To!

Kang To!

Lee Kang To!

Hyung's sorry!

Kang To!

Kang To!

Kang To!

A cassia tree, a single tree

[Namsan Elementary] And a rabbit too

And a rabbit too

It has no mast

Nor even a pole

But see how well it sails

Toward the land out west

Now then.

Today's class is over.

Tomorrow, we go collect living essentials like tools and supplies, right?

Yes!

Teacher!

My older sister said to ask if a chamber pot was okay.

Of course, without a doubt.

Old dining trays, baskets, kerchiefs, serving trays...

It doesn't matter as long as they are living essentials.

So, tell her not to worry and send it in.

Yes, Sir!

Now then, class leader.

Attention! Bow.

Thank you.

Hey Lee Kang To.

What are you doing here?

You're buying chamber pots too?

It figures, you and your pointless activities.

What do you mean pointless? It's what I live for.

But, what brings the busy social over-achiever round here?

Let's go one round.

Aigoo!

Do you feel better now?

Showing up suddenly with bags...

How many times does this make?

I...

got promoted.

And I got a raise too.

Now, if I just work for another year,

I could buy Mom a nice house.

And send my brother,

to get treated,

at the best hospital in Tokyo.

If it means that my brother can get better,

what the hell does it matter that I get called a pawn or tool?

Wow. Pal, you're a good man.

Enough to make a man feel guilty for rebelling against his father.

Hey, come here.

What, what are you doing?

Cut it out.

It's hot!

Young Master.

Young Master.

Uh?

It's Nanny.

Nanny!

It makes you that happy?

What, you want to breastfeed?

Oh geez.

[Circus]

One more time! One more time!

One more time! One more time!

One more time!

Who are you waiting for?

Who is it? Huh?

Who is it?

Huh?

Who is it?

He'll come someday.

He will.

Unni, you know I can't stand it when I'm curious about something!

Not just once or twice,

you wait for someone every time we perform.

Again, again you're wearing that around your neck.

Unni.

A man has something to do with this knife, isn't that so?

Who is it?

Who is it, Unni?

No matter what happens,

you have to stay alive.

You can't die, no matter what, okay?

Young Master.

What are you going to do?

Boon.

Let's meet again someday.

We have to.

Where are you going?

Where are you planning to go?

Just stay alive.

If you stay alive, I'll find you.

That's the truth, right?

You really will find me, right?

Over there! Catch him!

Now then.

All you fellows whose wives love to beat down a dozen times a day.

Watch carefully!

A fantastical performance, changing faces in the blink of an eye!

Joseon's finest *Bian Lian Master! (*Chinese mask-changing theatrical art)

Our own Oh Mok Dan!

She was a young girl who called herself Esther.

Esther?

What kind of name is that?

It's her baptismal name.

I don't know her Joseon name.

To think you still can't forget a girl you met at thirteen.

You are a wonder of nature, a real wonder of nature.

Esther gave me a terrible time, you see.

A terrible time?

What do you mean?

You could say, I became a decent human being because of her.

Explain in detail from the beginning!

Don't try to know too much.

You could get hurt.

Whoa.

So, it's a secret you want to keep for yourself, eh?

Ay, you're no fun.

You shouldn't have brought it up then.

I wonder.

Has she met him by now?

God.

Please reunite me with my father soon.

And help me meet again the young master,

who gave me this knife, as he promised.

I wonder if they met again, whoever that guy was.

[Tenacious, heinous criminal Mok Damsari finally captured]

Come again.

Wow!

You could be in a movie!

Yeah?

Well, I'll be in the papers, so I should at least dress up.

Let's go.

Step in.

[Kyung Sung High Court]

Defendant Mok Damsari. Your final testimony. [Choi Myung Sub, high court judge]

- I, Mok Damsari... - Judge Choi!

We are concerned

that Defendant Mok Damsari's words and actions may disrupt public order.

We ask that you prohibit him from speaking with the general public present.

I, Mok Damsari,

even if my life is threatened,

no,

- even after I die, - Judge Choi!

will block the military, police, and fascist rule

Order!

- Order! - of Imperialist Japan over Joseon!

Hey, million brave soldiers of a great new nation's independence army.

Do you know the Fatherland is calling?

We shall now close this trial to the public!

The general public will leave the court immediately!

Order!

Let's go! Let's go!

Let's go to fight!

Let's go! Let's go!

Let's go to fight!

The independence army...

I'll just take a quick look.

I'll just look.

He's my father, I tell you.

I told you, you can't get in without a pass!

I didn't even know there was a trial.

I only saw this morning in the papers that my father was captured.

How could I have obtained a pass?!

That's your problem.

I haven't seen my father since we parted when I was seven.

Please!

Please, Officer!

Quiet!

The trial will now resume.

Defendant Mok Damsari has escaped from prison multiple times.

And wreaked havoc on the safety and order of our society.

Harboring bitterness against the Imperialist Government's policies,

he rallied laborers, and instigated strikes and riots.

These crimes are serious and severe.

He shall be sentenced accordingly.

The court

sentences the defendants

to death.

Bingo.

Well done.

Stand together for a picture.

Here we go. One, two, three.

That's good!

Just one more.

You rat bastard!

What the hell is that?

Catch her!

Stop her! Stop her!

Why, you...

Get her!

You bastard!

Grab her, grab her.

You wench...

It's Gaksital!

How dare that son of a bitch come here?

Get him!

Officers!

Lock up the prisoners now! Quickly!

Father!

It's me.

It's Boon, Boon.

What?

You're Boon?

My daughter, Boon?

Quick, you have to get out of here. Quick!

Get them!

This way!

Go after Damsari first!

Yes, Sir!

[Judge's Office]

Judge Choi Myeong Sub?

Countess.

I'd heard you'd gone to Tokyo. When did you return?

Thanks to my impressive husband,

how can I possibly stay on vacation?

Hurry up!

But,

why is the courthouse so noisy?

What the hell is going on?!

Damsari and his men have escaped.

What?

What sort of rubbish is that?

Oh my.

So, you're saying there are heinous criminals running rampant right now?

May I...

search your office?

No. There's no need.

You think they would dare hide in my office?

You sentenced Damsari to death.

He may intend to harm you.

For your own safety,

I'd like your cooperation.

Damn.

Abe!

- Come here. - That tickles!

It's been more than ten days, ten days!

Do you want to see me go crazy?

The Governor-General is coming to visit us at our home tomorrow.

What?

Tomorrow?

And so, what?

You want me to let your trouble maker husband out now?

Don't you know they play go-stop together?

I can't tell the Governor-General not to come.

But how can I tell him the truth?

That the high and mighty count was driving drunk,

and killed a mother and daughter?

Anyhow, it's not possible right now!

I hear the Gyeongseong administration...

will be wiping out Tomak village as part of the new party's plan,

and building a modern housing complex.

If you buy land there now,

it will probably be worth ten times...

no, probably 20 times as much, at least.

Other than him,

who else could fetch such first class information?

I'm a law-abiding judge.

There are principles of law that...

I've already generously compensated the family so they won't complain.

And,

those are cookies.

Share them with your men so that there's no trouble.

Bye.

Damsari!

It's not him!

It's me.

You know the Count Lee Si Yong?

He accidentally killed that mother and daughter.

It turns out,

that there was quite a bit of negligence on the part of the victims.

Anyway,

they've settled with the victims' family.

So set him free at once.

Yes, right.

Who are you?

Choi Myung Sub.

No.

Kwon Su Jung.

How do you know that name?

You call yourself a judge?

You kill your Korean brothers like flies in this courthouse and you call yourself a judge?

It's not enough that you betray your own people.

Now, you're using the law to commit murder?

Then, y-you're...

There will be karmic retribution.

Though it may be delayed,

there shall always be retribution for one's crimes.

I have come to punish you for your crimes.

They've been sentenced to death anyway.

You can kill them on sight!

Stop right there!

Uh?

Lee Kang To!

My little brother!

What are you doing?

It's an emergency, an emergency.

You have to catch the bad guys to make Hi-His Majesty...

the Emperor happy.

Please!

Just stay quietly at home.

Go.

Go!

Come with me.

It's only fun if I get to play with you.

Big brother is bored.

Come with me! Come with me.

Follow me!

Why are you grabbing my collar again? Why?

Don't worry about your father, and stay safe.

Father.

I want to go with you.

I'm willing to do anything.

I don't even care if I die.

I don't want us to be separated anymore, Father.

Boon.

Later.

I'll come and find you later.

Where can I find you, hmm?

Father!

You're the daughter of Independence Army General Damsari.

I work with the Far East Circus Troupe.

Far East Circus Troupe?

With Troupe Leader Jo?

You know our Troupe Leader?

If you're with him, I won't worry.

Don't go anywhere else. Just stay with the circus troupe.

I'll come and find you.

All right?

Father.

I couldn't bring myself to tell you.

Mother has passed away.

I will work hard to survive.

So please stay safe too, Father.

Please come back and find me, no matter what.

I'll be waiting for you, Father.

Who was the culprit?

It was most likely Gaksital.

Gaksital?

A man who's been running around recently,

wearing a ritual mask, acting as the protector of the people.

Why haven't you reported that earlier, Captain Kimura?

I had determined it wasn't necessary for you to know.

And I never thought he would do such a thing to Choi Myung Sub.

I'm sorry, Sir.

I'm sorry.

Damsari got away,

but everyone else was captured.

Choi Myung Sub has died?

Captain Kimura.

You go after Gaksital.

Chief!

Gaksital allowed Damsari to escape and killed Choi Myung Sub.

Please allow me to capture him.

You just go and catch Damsari!

[The day of Lee Gong's funeral]

Gaksital!!

[Unauthorized entrance prohibited]

[Konno Goji - The Government-General's Police Commissioner]

Taro and Choi Myung Sub had this kind of connection?

This symbol...

is the shape that Gaksital cut into the funeral banner

and also the shape of the wound on Choi Myung Sub's body.

On Choi Myung Sub's body too?

If Gaksital is intentionally leaving behind this symbol,

then, it means Lee Gong, Choi Myung Sub,

and Taro

are definitely related somehow.

Okay.

So.

He put his son Kenji on the case to keep that from getting exposed.

Chief Kimura.

Wasn't the Jongro Police responsible for safeguarding the funeral procession?

Gaksital destroyed the entire funeral.

And he stabbed to death this country's most influential men,

while the proud Imperial Police

remains helpless.

Why have you not been able to catch Choi Myung Sub's killer, Gaksital?!

It's been a month and there's no progress on the case!

Who's handling the case?

I'm sorry, Sir.

- As soon as possible... - That case...

will be handled by Lee Kang To.

Gaksital was the one who let Damsari escape

and killed Choi Myung Sub.

Lee Kang To should have handled the case from the beginning.

But...

Detective Lee Kang To must go after Damsari.

Detective Lee Kang To.

I suppose a week will be enough time for you to catch him?

Yes, Sir!

Of course, Sir.

I will capture Gaksital, without fail!

[Jongro Police Station]

[Kimura Taro, Chief of Jongro Police]

We need to deal with of Lee Kang To first.

You know very well how unrelenting he is.

Before the organization is exposed,

we have to kill him.

It has to be carried out perfectly,

so that Konno doesn't suspect anything.

Don't worry.

There is a foolproof way to kill him.

[Jongro Police - Special Task Force, Political Offenders]

Come here!

Do you have it?

Yes, Sergeant!

Abe!

Yes, Sir.

You!

Can't you take it properly?

I'm sorry.

These are the files on the Choi Myung Sub case.

Files on the Choi Myung Sub case, you say.

Now then...

Shall we get started?

It's tonight.

You're sure you can get the job done, right?

I saw it clearly with my own eyes.

It's certain that he and Lee Kang To are working together.

The Gyeongseong branch members are dying off one by one.

Don't you feel that this is a declaration of war against our organization?

I shall return, Father.

I shall trample all over Joseon,

as she trampled me.

How did you know?

You always prayed,

holding that knife,

asking to be able to see him again.

Who is he, exactly?

Gaksital probably won't be able to ignore what happens to you.

So, are you two in love or something?

Why do you keep helping me?

Could you tell me your name, at least?

Lee Kang To is working with Gaksital.

As soon as you spot him...

you are to kill him.
