Toyotomi Hideyoshi, The Last Exhibition of lnoue Artifacts

lt's amazing

We don't have to do the rounds, right?

There are bodyguards all over the place..

Who is it?

l'm in Roger!

The terrorist group that has taken lto Hall

has been identified as the ''Hurei-Sen-Jin''

When their claims of Chosun independence

failed to earn public support even from Koreans

they turned to terrorism Authorized Personnel ONLY

ln the Hureisenjin attack on the Japanese Cultural Center in 2007

The leaders of the team were apprehended

and the team was believed to have been destroyed

but another terrorist attack was carried out today

The Hureisenjin have apparently rebuilt their team

Eight SWAT teams are standing by

- How many terrorists are there? - We believe about 10

Their demands?

Nothing yet, sir!

Can we move in right away?

l wouldn't do anything hasty

Think of the Cultural Center

Stalling will only result in greater damage

They've taken many hostages

No more negotiations with Hureisenjin!

Sakamoto! Sorry to cut short your vacation

Tough luck! Sakamoto!

How's the situation?

lt's strangely quiet

They've taken control of

the Central Hallbut there's no movement

l have a bad feeling about this

lt reminds me of the nightmare at the Japanese Cultural Center

Go!

Bring them to the east exit We'll be standing by

Drop the gun!

Drop your gun and surrender!

Fuck you!

l didn't come here to surrender

Any more resistance is useless

Drop the gun!

Are you Korean?

Drop your gun!

l asked if you were Korean!

How can you shoot at us?

You're just criminals

Criminals?

How can a try to get my country back be a crime?

l'm going to count to three

l am Captain Joon-Hwan Kim of the Korean lndependence Army

One!

Tell them this message

- Two! - Korea is an independent country!

Japan has committed a crime by forcefully invading Korea

We...

Sakamoto! What did he say in Korean?

JBl Seoul Office

Judging from the break-in route and the overall nature of the attack

We know it was a well-trained team

Hureisenjin has rebuilt itself

This incident will provide material clues

material clues to the direction

the organization plans to take

But

The current evidence isn't enough to clearly identify their specific motives

Maybe they were after the national treasures?

The Hureisenjin are not known to commit simple robberies

That's right

Many were damaged in the gunfire

But there is no evidence that they tried to steal any of them

What are the other possibilities?

The interesting thing is that they locked up the hostages

Almost as if they wanted to protect them

Then they must've had another motive

They completed their task but the police came sooner than they expected

This was confirmed by statements from the hostages

There is another unusual detail

One terrorist tried to slip out with the hostages

This man

This is just speculation but we believe the gun fight

may possibly have been... ...a cover for something else

Ten men were sacrificed to save one?!

Please leave this case to Saigo and myself

Why do you always go for the Hureisenjin cases?

Do you have something to prove?

Why not let lnspector Miura

take it and leave me out of it?

l have no idea about you sometimes

Who has the most to lose from this case?

The lnoue Foundation obviously

Could this be relate to the Foundation?

We can start by checking out the background for the exhibition

Thanks, Saigo!

Hey! Don't dump this on me!

You know that picture?

What picture?

That Hureisenjin guy...

lt's nothing!

l'll make sure that nothing affects the schedule

Here you are!

- Who are you? - Oh!

You mean Mr. lnoue

That's Mr. lnoue Kenji Chairman of the lnoue Foundation

He's the grandson of the second governor of Korea

This painting ''Utopia'' is by Kawabata Yukio

He drew paradise as he saw it in a dream

This kind of celadon is famous around the world

lt's magnificent, isn't it?

Amazing that it made it through all that gun fire

The last exhibition?

After this exhibition, all the artifacts wll be moved back to Japan

This exhibition is amazing

But this is nothing compared to the really important gems

that already have been moved to Busan for shipment back to Japan

This one piece was huge

Huge? What was it?

Over there That's where it used to be

lnoue was the Korea's second governor

and he collected every treasures he could

He was quite a collector

l've heard stories that he even collected

a lot of forbidden things by the government

and wilder stuff than in this exhibit...

One time, he saw this mountainous rock in Harbin that he wanted so much

but couldn't move it with the technology at the time

So, he left instructions in his will and eventually had it moved

Talk about obsessive

So he got it after he died

- Daddy! - Ok. Ok!

- Go to Mommy, Go to Mommy! - All right. l know

Why did you ask me over anyway?

Oh, that...?

Ask Yuriko!

This is when your Daddy and l were at the Police Academy

Your mom and dad had started dating when they had a fight

What are you telling her?

And your daddy said that they should break up

Stop it!

But, your daddy loved your mom

So much that he just cried for days

Daddy cried?

That's not all One day...

The things you tell a child That's enough

Mommy!

One day! Mommy got a letter

l hadn't gotten a letter since l was a little girl...

There was a strange name on it

Mommy read the letter and thought

''lf he has a friend like this l could trust him with my life''

Do you know that Yuriko still has your letter?

What did you write in that letter?

How come you keep secrets with someone else's wife?

Every time l see your family l envy you

Yuriko is so warm and gentle and Keiko is really cute

Was it a woman?

Huh?

You said you sometimes see visions

Oh, that Well... l don't know...

lt looks like a woman...

At first, thought cuz you're workholic But l don't think that's it

Then what?

lt's time you got married

You still have feelings for her?

Who?

l was pretty drunk at the graduation party

but l remember clearly

You said that you felt like You've been in love so long

l told you that?

l don't get it...

What?

The Hurei-Sen-Jin

Why were they fighting so hard?

Obsessed with the past, l guess

Chosun disappeared and was reborn as a united Japan

They're in denial about reality

That's the problem

ls that why you're obsessing about this case?

lf l had Korean blood...

l would understand how you feel

But let's be realistic You and l are Japanese

You don't need to get emotional about something like that

Sakamoto!

l've never thought of you as a Korean

Aha! You drag me all the way to this smelly dump...

Being in Korean districts always gives me the creeps

l just got here and was having a smoke

l already had dinner

You used to love sushi What happened?

Like father, like son You love sushi just like your father

Masao loved sushi, too when he was at your age

Don't talk about my father

- Sakamoto! - Please...

Your father was a great police officer

Then he wouldn't have been shot by a fellow officer

Sakamoto!

Yes, l'm not being very smart today

l should've just congratulated you

l know it's late, Sakamoto! Happy birthday!

ls your investigation going well?

We're still just getting started

Did you know there was a similar case before?

That time, too, we couldn't figure out Hureisenjin's motives

Year 1985 The Vladivostok case

Chronological table of Hureisenjin activities

Attempted hijacking of Vladivostok barge

Agent Sakamoto Masao found to be corrupt

Searching: list of shipments

lnoue Cultural Association

Origin: Harbin ltem

ltem: ... ...

Access Denied!

Access Denied!

What are you staring at?

l was wondering if it was related to this case

Really?

Hideyo!

Why don't you get some new glasses?

They're not pretty but my wife bought them for me...

She likes them

Then it can't be helped

Here, the picture you asked for

Oh, thanks!

- What is it? - We over looked a simple detail

This thing is over 20 meters away from

where it was originally displayed

So?

lt's rock so it's heavy and

Look how big it is! There's no way it moved that far during the shootout

Think about the guy who tried to escape

They left this morning

What do you mean?

The rest of the exhibition's cancelled

and everything is being moved back to Japan earlier than scheduled

What is that asshole?

Mission complete! Move out!

Mission complete! Move out, K1 !

Answer me, K1 ! K1 !

Sakamoto!

Let's go!

K-team! Move out!

This was the motive for the lto Hall incident!

That's the motivation!

The so called ''Lunar Soul'' Extremely ancient. Exact age unknown

The lnoue Foundation excavated excavated it in 1923

The excavation site was at Wandal Mountain near Harbin

lt was used in religious ceremonies

Why would they steal something so useless?

That's the key question We figured out that

Finally, Hureisenjin got a ''Lunar Sou''

The Lunar Soul was their goal

But still don't know why they needed it

This is a list of similar cases

1975, the lnoue Anniversary Hall bombing

1985, the attempted hijacking of the Vladivostok Barge

1997, the attack on lnoue Hall

One incident in 2005, two in 2006 five from 2007 to date including this

And they are all connected to the lnoue Foundation

Their goal is the lnoue Foundation?

lt can't be just a coincidence

The two organizations must be related somehow

There's no other logical explanation

A full investigation into...

the lnoue Foundation is necessary in order to find some answers

lnvestigation?

The lnoue Foundation is no easy match

Hasty action without solid evidence is unacceptable

The lnoue Foundation?

Scared?

Sakamoto, did you get the Commissioner's permission?

The higher you get the scarier things get

Even with solid evidence The Commissioner will hesitate

But you can't investigate without the Commissioner's permission

You saw the record on the Vladivostok case 24 years ago, right?

The case where the Hureisenjin tried to hijack the barge?

On the report it says they were after semiconductors

But there were other things on the barge. You know what?

More lnoue Foundation artifacts?

Yes! The rock thing that was being shipped to Japan from Harbin

The huge thing that lnoue wanted! That was on the barge

That's what the Hureisenjin were after?

Yes!

What does that have to do with this case?

Harbin!

Harbin?

Both the big rock artifact and the Lunar Soul were found in Harbin

The conflict between the Hureisenjin and the lnoue Foundation must be related to that artifact

l'm not sure how this fits in but it's too strange to be a coincidence

Harbin is where the attempted assassination of lto Hirobumi took place...

lt was lnoue who saved lto at that time

What do you want from me?

Please tell us. l can't find any info about that artifact anywhere

lt's been erased from the Foundation's collection list. They have it, don't they?

l said l don't know...

What are you trying to hide?

You think it's justifiable to barge in here

and demand info about something from 24 years ago?

l'm sorry, sir. We'll make an official request for your cooperation later

We'll meet with the Chairman in person and...

This is unacceptable!

Who do you think you are to treat the lnoue Foundation like a criminal?

Why are you avoiding answering?

Wasn't the thing on the boat shipped from Harbin?

Sakamoto! what's wrong with you?

Calm down!

What did you say your name was?

Sakamoto Masayuki

1985, Vladivostok Now l remember

Yes, there was a Korean police officer

The Hureisenjin paid him off A corrupt cop...

That has nothing to do with my question!

A fellow officer shot him, l believe...

- Answer the question! - Sakamoto Masao!

- What is on that ship? - l said l don't know!

l heard his son became a cop, too...

Sakamoto!

- What's wrong with you? - What!

This attitude it's not like you!

You saw that too

He's hiding something for sure!

That's why you got so upset?

That's why you attacked him without thinking?

Listen, we are police officers We have to be objective

Don't drag your petty feelings about your father into this!

What?

All right My father was a corrupt cop.

He was a Hureisenjin dog...!

A filthy cowardly traitor! That's what you want to hear?

You want to despise me?

Fine, laugh away!

There's tainted blood running through me

Sakamoto!

Calling your feelings ''petty'' was bad of me. Sorry

l'm solving this case

Harbin lnternational Airport

Congratulations!

Ancient Koreans worshipped the sun and the moon

This is where the templestone the altar where rituals to...

the Sun god Haemosoo were carried out

Professor Ono! What is the Lunar Soul?

lt's the knife used to cut off the head of the sacrificial animal

They called it the Lunar Soul because it contained the spirit of the moon

The Lunar Soul... it's a beautiful name, isn't it?

That was 20 years ago

Everyone here was against it but they were adamant

People said there would be a curse...

No one lives here now...

That's right! lt was the lnoue Foundation

Commissioner's

He's the one Saigo Shojiro!

Say hello This is Mr. lnoue Kenji!

Don't move!

Do you know me?

You must know me

JBl agent Sakamoto Masayuki

And also?

A traitor who turns his gun on his own people

How can a criminal be defending her people?

A criminal?

Then you're saying

your father is a criminal too?

We're Just trying to get our country back

But no one wants to get it back

You're just making Koreans suffer

Cut the crap. You're just an errand boy for the Japanese

Why don't you drop your backwards ideas!

What?

- Korea is gone! - Shut up!

You can't shoot

l can see it in your eyes

Then you shoot me!

You just don't have the courage to become like us!

Sakamoto!

You've been taken off the case

You know why?

Because you're Korean

Please explain to me what this is

You don't even know what you did!

Did l tell you to investigate the lnoue Foundation?

What are you trying to prove?

The lnoue Foundation is the key to the case

As long as they keep quiet the Hureisenjin...

Shut up!

You want to some sort of hero by investigating a powerful figure?

You arrogantjerk! What was that stunt you pulled at the Foundation?

The 1985 case was about the ''templestone''

The templestone is related to this case

Excuses! That's enough!

lnvestigating without reporting is grounds for suspension!

Any objections?

No, sir

That letter... what was in it?

lt was a long letter...

Everything about Sakamoto was in it

At the end

He said that you were a precious person to him and he hoped

we would reconcile for your friendship

Were you that upset for my scolding you for not eating kimchi?

You had tears running down your face

- No, l wasn't - Don't deny it

lt was just spicy, that's all

l haven't been able to eat kimchi since then

- You were a crybaby - No way

That year remember the picnic?

Stop it now!

l put aside my case and went to all that trouble to make that lunch

And you threw it away and cried

because you were the only one... without your parents

So l got mad at you

l was just a kid

No!

l was a little hurt because you didn't understand me

but, l was really mad at me

for not able to take your father's place

l promised myself that l would never make you cry again

l have to keep my promise to Masao

Why did you give me info on the 1985 Vladivostok case?

Sakamoto, you're mistaken about your father

He wasn't a corrupt cop, like you think

Yes, he did side with the Hureisenjin

He thought that he had to do it for Korea

l was 7 years old

Did he have to abandon his family like that?

No! Masao worried about you until the end

He came to me the night before he went to Vladivostok

He asked me to take care of you lt was the only time l ever saw him cry

You have to understand how much

it hurt him to leave you behind

He loved you more than anything

Stop it!

We're out of drinks

l'll get it!

You were drinking and got angry at being suspended

You were arguing and then go mad, so you shot him?

Answer!

You're a cop so you know the drill

Confess!

Sakamoto!

Keeping your mouth shut will do you no good

Saigo, you do it

Someone was after me

He killed Takahashi thinking it was me

- He died because of me... - Name?

Name?

Now you too

He was like a father to me

You know l didn't shoot him

Just answer the question!

You were holding the gun

You didn't report it and your so-called intruder left no trace

lt's a conspiracy lsn't it?

Saigo! Are you part of this?

Look at me in eyes!

Why are you trying to stop me?

lt's connected to the case, isn't it?

Because you're protecting the lnoue Foundation?

Why the hell are you doing this?

Sakamoto, you are under arrest for the murder of Takahashi

The bullets in the body was identified as yours

Arrest him!

You'll find a lot of friends in jail

Since most of them are Koreans

Hideyo, you got new glasses

Oh... the old ones were out of style

Don't come back

Next time we meet you and l are enemies

Where...

Where am l?

Someplace... not safe for you at all

Don't go outside this room

There are a lot of people after you

Hey!

Thanks!

Don't move!

You! You're Japanese, aren't you?

Do you know how many of us died because of people like you?

You wouldn't shoot...

Don't come near me!

Ouch!

You're Herin's boyfriend, right?

What?

The only man allowed in this room is me!

What's your name?

Min-Jae!

Min-Jae!

Hey

Hey, kid

l can't stand... arrogant pricks

What the hell do you think you're doing?

Arrogant bastard

Stop it

There's someone who wants to see you

Welcome, Sakamoto

You know me?

l knew your father Masao Sakamoto

Do you know Choong-Kun Ahn?

The assassin who attempted to kill lto Hirobumi?

Assassin...

You have good reason to call him that

How do you think history would have turned out if he had succeeded?

And what about if Japan had lost World War ll?

Atomic bombs were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945

and Korea gained independence...?

The history you know has been tampered with

The damage caused by the atomic bomb was horrendous

Korea became independent and we lost the war

However, Korea was soon engulfed in a civil war, and...

We used that war as an opportunity to become a financially

strong country with great power

2008, after 60 years of separation North and South Korea united

to become a new nation with a strong economy and military

Korea became a new icon in Asia

lt was then that a movement

to try and regain the land that used to be ancient Korea started

You may not know this, but Manchuria used to belong to ancient Korea

Of course, the Chinese government would never begin to consider that

but we managed to organize a joint research project between

Korea, China, and Japan

But the strangest thing was uncovered in the process

That artifact held the secret

about a doorway in time

Fortunately, our research team found it first

and immediately sent it to our organization

That was the templestone

And the Lunar Soul is the key that can open the doorway of time

We wanted to erase the bitter defeat of the Pacific War

and the bombing of Hiroshima...

An extreme right-wing organization in Japan sent an assassin

named ''lnoue'' to change history

October 26, 1909...

lnoue went back exactly 100 years in history

and stopped Choong-Kun Ahn from assassinating lto in Harbin

That was the starting point of our unfortunate history...

Aren't you curious

how history could be changed by only one man?

Because lnoue had come from the future

He knew what would happen for the next 100 years

This our great secret and the lnoue Foundation has kept

the templestone completely hidden until now...

The Hureisenjin, judging from

their actions obviously know this

But there is no way they could know...

When the door of time was about to close

a female researcher was drawn in...

She didn't realize until later

what had happened to her

She told her story to a resistance group

They are the Hureisenjin of today

l know it sounds unbelievable

l thought so too at first...

But for the past 100 years many comrades have fought and

lost their lives for this unbelievable fact

Your father was one of them...

We are trying to right this warped history

We believe the templestone will

cross the Sea of Japan tomorrow

This is our last chance

in this distorted history of ours

to erase the pain and sorrow we have had to suffer

This is our only chancez

We have endured decades of humiliation for this day

After tomorrow

if our efforts end in failure

this perverted timeline will continue and the truth will be silent

forever in disgrace

We cannot afford to lose this opportunity

lf we can't stop them the tragedy of losing the war

and the atomic bomb will be repeated

The house of Yuriko is no exception

Yuriko and Keiko would not exist

Most importantly

How could we stand the Koreans challenging us?

lf l pass through the door of time will l be able to come back?

The moment you pass through the door

you can never come back

You want me to believe that?

Do you actually believe that?

On what grounds?

You think your father believed it?

And those people over there?

lt would probably hard for anyone

to believe it, like you now

But we realized something

Whether you believe or not is not important

Look at that kid

Like you, he lost his father

Min-Jae!

Do you think he understands what his father was trying to do?

Things like independence and liberation?

But Min-Jae is proud of his father

He trusted his father

He trusted that the things his father did were right

He trusted his father's beliefs

Min-Jae will always remember

He believes his father's promise that he will come back

That's his hope

lf someone were to take that hope away from him

what could we do for him?

Where is it?

What do you mean?

The Hureisenjin hideout

This is just a bar...

What?

Search!

You take the second floor Okay. Move out

What is it?

lt's all because of that bastard

He brought them here

l should have killed him earlier

- Min-Jae! - Min-Jae, Watch out!

Are you trying to get yourself killed?

This way

Quick!

There's no time to lose

No. You have to come with us

We split up now doesn't mean we'll never meet again

Sir!

There's nothing left for me to do

The rest is up to you

Take Myung-Hak and go!

What are you doing? Agh!

Myung-Hak!

l'm counting on you

Good-bye!

You bastards!

Goodnight!

Goodnight! Miss Keiko!

Goodnight, Daddy!

Goodnight, Keiko!

Yes, l see!

l'll see you

Be careful!

Busan Port, Pier 1

Seraching!

Congratulation!

Thanks!

No!

Sakamoto! l can't let you go

l can't let you rewrite Japan's history

Don't try to stop me, Saigo

This is the nation that many have died to regain

l don't want to lose it again

Sakamoto!

Shoot, Sakamoto!

One of us has to die!

Shoot!

Now, Shoot!

Sakamoto!

lf you don't shoot

l will!

Sakamoto!

Excuse me...

2009, The lndependence Memorial Hall

These people are the ones who gave their lives to reclaim our country

Without them you wouldn't be here

Everyone knows the great independence fighters AHN and YOO, right?

Yes!

Choong-Kun Ahn...
