It's coming!
Okay.
- Put it in. - Okay.
Hold tight.
Stop shaking it.
Ready?
What are you doing?
Running late on something?
Shh! Wait.
What are we going to do! It won't fit!
Does this thing get bigger the more you touch it, too?
The train will choo-choo past here!
Did you bring a spare?
What? I'm the shooter!
Yourjob's to get the shells ready!
You ain't yellin' at me, fool!
You should've got 'em still! Some independence trooper!
You idiot!
Why are you yelling at me for!
You're older and higher ranked!
You should've prepared everything!
Ten!
Nine!
Seven!
Six!
The train's coming! No time to blame anyone!
Three!
We're through!
Bloody hell!
One!
Oh, no!
Did you do that?
I think I did.
This hand's a miracle.
It's this one.
This one?
There was an explosion on track 36.
50 cannons, 600 machine guns,
and bombs heading for Manchuria have been stopped.
The repair crew is currently...
The war is over, colonel.
If the supplies are late, our forces will...
Yamada!
There is no army.
You're an officer of a defeated nation.
Not only that, you're a Korean.
But I'm...
A Japanese down to by bones.
Your spirit may be Japanese but your blood is Korean.
No, sir!
I'm...
Colonel Yamada Shinjo of the Great Empire's forces!
I know how you feel.
If you find the 'Light of the East',
I'll make sure you live better than a Japanese.
Yes, sir!
So?
You're going to kill the Chief of State?
The military is out everywhere after the track explosion.
We could get ourselves killed!
But we didn't blow up the train.
But we blew up the tracks!
We do exactly what we're told to do. That's the rule.
That may be for you.
But not for me.
I won't live and die on command. I'm no puppet!
If they tell us die, we do it like a man.
Forget it.
Bottom line is, we have different philosophies on life.
Philosophy? You didn't even go to school.
Different philosophies.
You're making fun of me?
Fine! I was stupid not to study.
What's it to you!
It's the other way around, you idiot.
You're stupid 'cuz you didn't study.
Well, if you're so smart!
Then why aren't you fighting for independence in the front line!
Beats me.
I was planning to go anyway! You go your way!
You have to be ready to give your life!
You're no independence trooper!
Fine! Let's split right now!
I have my own thoughts and ways on independence!
Fine!
I'll tell the chief you didn't even go to school!
- Fine! Then we're enemies! - Fine!
Look, Haruko.
Since we're both Koreans, let me call you Choon-ja.
No. Call me Haruko.
Choon-ja is so old-fashioned.
And I'm not a Korean.
You don't become a Japanese by denying you're Korean.
I'm not Japanese, either.
Let's cut the chit chat, Choon-ja.
Please return the 'Light of the East' for our country's sake.
Why should I? All I need is the money.
Choon-ja.
I'm in the independence army.
I am the head of the Korean secret intelligence.
If you give me the diamond,
I'll make sure you're rewarded for your act of patriotism.
You have my word of honor.
Then I can be a part of the independence movement?
Yes, Choon-ja.
You, too, are now...
A proud member of the independence army.
You con-man freak!
Ow, that hurts.
What does Haruko's father do?
Her parents passed away when she was young.
I'm not sure on the details.
This is the problem with Koreans.
You don't listen when I ask nicely.
I really don't know anything, sir.
I received a Good Citizen's Award. I wouldn't lie.
Let's see...
Why are your answers always the same?
Right or wrong!
Yes or no!
Just say what I want from you!
But, sir.
But...
Wait! Please!
Hold on...
I remember...
I remember now.
The pawnshop. Try there.
Pawnshop?
Yes, sir.
She'd borrow accessories from there before her shows.
The owner there will tell you where she might be.
It's the truth.
Did you know I was trained in torturing?
Shall I free your fingers with this?
Or liberate your eyeballs with this?
This should do for you.
Pretty small, isn't it?
Know what this is?
Imagine.
This digging under your nails one by one.
Where's the diamond?
Where is it!
Damn it!
Getting beat up and fainting.
Stop talking about the Japs.
I took the beating for a greater purpose.
You're fighting for independence to live as a Korean.
But me!
I'm fighting to die as a Korean!
This is exactly why we're different!
You have to live long to fight for independence!
You can take living long under the Japs?
That's not what I meant!
Let's drop it. I don't want to argue with you.
But going to kill the Chief of State is a suicide!
We didn't get any orders to kill him! Stop acting commando!
Then what are we really doing as independence troopers, huh?
It is our duty to sacrifice our lives for the movement!
Stop it!
Okay, okay.
Bring in 100 men from those who refused to adopt Japanese names.
And gather them in the back field.
What's the plan?
They'll be executed for condoning Haedanghwa.
What?
If Haedanghwa doesn't bring the diamond back even after that,
Then kill all 100!
That's going a little too far.
If he doesn't show even then, kill 100 more!
Whether it takes thousands, kill until the diamond is found!
But it's not an easy matter to...
Mutiny will be handled by the army!
Even if we have to kill all the Koreans!
We will find the 'Light of the East'!
August 15th, 1945
Get me a pass to China, Russia, or anywhere!
I got you one last time.
You're like a father to me.
I think of you as a daughter, too. But...
Can I call you father from now on?
A father who can't even get his daughter a pass...
I'll miss you so much when I'm in Russia.
There's one left here somewhere...
What the!
Long time no see.
Looks like business is good.
Thank you.
This won't work in catching Haedanghwa.
Whatever happened to scientific investigations?
Hands out of your pockets!
Come on, we're compatriots.
Where are you going?
To catch Haedanghwa, where else?
Let me go!
The 'Light of the East' is not for one person to have.
I'll give you $200 for it.
I might reconsider for $500.
Fine, $500.
Done deal. Put the gun down.
Excuse me?
I hate to interrupt you, two.
Let's get rid of this guy first.
Fine by me.
Use profits forjustice and dedicate your life to good.
But your greed erased any righteousness.
Hope you come back a better man in your next life.
Wait!
Lushun Prison.
Serve thy country by using profits for justice and dedicating life to do good.
Dr. AHN Joong-geun's last words before his execution at Lushun Prison, right?
And you still sold off our cultural goods!
Damn, not the face...
It's in the 'History of Righteous Clan' course.
How do you know that?
And you call yourself an independence trooper.
I'm in the movement.
I'm OH Bong-gu, leader of the third secret intelligence.
I'm #13 of Mt. Baekdu!
That's right.
Think you can con me, now?
You're history!
We fight for Korea's absolute freedom!
Our nation is our father and our people is our mother!
Secret intelligence is the root of all strategies!
# Live and become a warrior of independence.
# Die and become the soul of the movement.
# Let's all go out and fight!
# Till the bell of freedom rings!
# Let's fight to the end!
# Fight together to the end!
You're the legendary #37, right?
Damn it...
We don't even know each other's faces in the secret army.
Ouch! Not too rough.
Well, have fun catching up.
I'll be going.
Her gun's not loaded. She took it from my house.
Yeah, right.
Higher!
If Haedanghwa returns with the 'Light of the East', you'll live.
If not, you will all be executed at noon today.
Enjoy the grace of the Great Japanese Empire until then.
I'm taking it to headquarters. Do you even know the way?
It was my duty to get the 'Light of the East'.
I gave orders to kill the Chief of State too but the fools started a fire.
I'm the one who should take it back.
Secret intelligence put me to the job.
Sorry, comrade. Until I check with the base,
I can't trust you 100% yet.
What? You don't trust me?
Fine, let's go together. Happy, comrade?
But I'm taking the diamond, agreed, comrade?
I'm coming, too.
What?
Come on. Let's all just split it in three.
It belongs to the nation! The fate of our people is in...
My dad's Korean and my mom's Japanese.
In Japan, they call me a smelly Korean.
In Korea, they think I'm dirty with mixed Japanese blood.
Independence or not. I'm leaving this place.
I couldn't care less about either country.
So let's just split it.
And people think Haedanghwa's a regular Robin Hood.
Robin Hood loved riches, too.
So you don't trust me?
You want to take it yourself?
Fine.
Then you take it.
It can't be opened unless you break it.
Happy?
What are you doing?
We can't leave a trace. Let's just take her.
I'll set up thatjazz bar for you when we get to Russia.
Meeting's over?
There's a report of a gun shot down the street.
A gun shot?
- Send the squad! - Yes, sir!
Look at all that blood.
It hurts to be shot, doesn't it?
Who do we have here? Haruko!
We meet again.
Where's the diamond?
Don't tell me. You'll spoil the fun.
Wanna know what I'll do with you?
First, I'll pluck out all yourjoints!
Then strike needles under your nails!
You bastard!
How dare you!
What are you looking at!
How dare you...
What?
Oh, I get it!
You're all in the independence army!
Haedanghwa and rebel troops on top!
At this rate, I'll become the chief of police!
Hurray for OH Duk-sool!
Liberated Korea Forever!
This is what you do, huh?
That traitor!
Open fire!
Come on! Come on!
Stop shooting!
I caught Haedanghwa!
Thinks he can get away with a hostage!
Fire!
We're on the same side, idiots!
I'm Hasekawa!
You bunch of idiots!
We're on the same side.
Hurry up!
I'm on your side...
Ow! My ankle!
Are you okay?
Get up, soldier! A broken ankle can't keep you down!
Go ahead without me.
No! Get up! You can go!
Hurry up and go!
What if we lose the 'Light of the East' again?
But what about you?
I can't run like this.
#13 of Mt. Baekdu!
It's not a bad way to go.
Don't you think?
In a liberated Korea!
Be quiet or you'll get caught!
What? What's going on?
Hee-bong?
Where'd he go?
Dear honorable sir,
The kid wrote me an apology note.
Dear honorable sir,
I hope I find you in good health.
Blame it on our different philosophies on life.
Smart folks like you should live...
For a brighter future for our country.
It's my time, sir.
Please forgive me for going first.
Please tell the chief that even stupid fools like me died for independence!
From, Bong.
Hee-bong!
Out of my way!
Move!
At ease!
You're Haedanghwa?
If I give you the diamond, will you release the people?
You have my word.
Okay.
I'll agree to your terms.
She was with Duk-sool the traitor.
Two soldiers who were also there are missing.
We brought her in for questioning.
Go!
Take charge at the field.
Kill them all at noon!
Why do you have this?
Haedanghwa gave you this, and he has the diamond!
Tell me who gave you this!
Is it Kanemura?
Answer me!
Why can't you answer me! Why!
There was a call from Haedanghwa?
Yes.
He wanted 10 crates of gold in exchange for the 'Light of the East'.
And also a girl called, Haruko.
Shouldn't we verify him before...
Just do the job you're told to do.
Yes, sir.
Act quickly.
You must get there before noon.
The 'Light of the East' is worth this much?
That diamond is worth more than all this gold?
It's worth a lot more than just that.
Hurry, Yamada!
Sir Yamada! Please!
Yes, sir!
Good work.
Ready to go...
The front gates?
Only a few guards, sir.
Move in secret! Go!
Yes, sir!
Stop!
Who are you?
Kill him!
Yes, sir!
Kill him!
Bastard!
Liberated Korea forever!
Aye or Nay?
Aye!
What?
Stop!
Stupid dog!
Kanemura! So it was you!
Where are the goods?
Where's the 'Light of the East? '
Are you okay?
What are you doing?
We had a deal.
Ready!
In consideration of the general world affairs,
To save the situation at hand,
I announce my decision to accept...
The terms of the allied forces...
It's an announcement of defeat!
Japan has surrendered!
Liberated Korea forever!
No! God, no!
Why'd you come out here?
Stupid! Stupid! Stupid!
Why! Why! Why!
Stop hitting me.
What? I'm alive?
Sir!
Hold on.
I'll get you to a hospital, soon.
Where's my diamond?
How can you ask me that at a time like this?
You lost it, didn't you!
You believe in the 'Light of the East'?
There is no such thing.
The diamond is a fake.
Send 'Light of the East' to homeland No one wants to lose something like that.
A diamond ordered to be sent home, disappears...
What choice did he have?
Of course he agreed to my terms.
Get gold for a fake diamond then use that to get more gold.
Use the gold to fund the army to take back our gold going to Japan.
The most heroic mission of the century!
Cool, aren't I?
Yeah, right!
Give me my diamond back!
Where is it!
Where'd you hide it!
Choon-ja!
- I want my diamond! - Stop it, will you!
Where is it!
Give me my diamond back!
Where'd you hide it!
And so came liberation from Japan.
The gold was used to help rebuild the country.
And our accomplishments became a legend.
Anyway...
I wonder if there's anything else as fun to do.
Japanese and Dogs Restricted
That rotten son of a...
I should've killed him before the war ended.
Go ahead.
- Huh? - Kill him.
Hi, baby!
There are over 6000 acres in Kyunggi-do alone without land rights.
So?
There's no cadastral at all!
Over 100 people are fighting to claim rights to the land.
So?
Let's make a cadastral and take all the land.
I told you, I'm not a crook.
I need the money to get out of here.
Where are you planning on leaving me for?
America!
New Orleans! Home ofjazz.
Didn't you say it was Russia before?
And you don't sing jazz. It's old folk!
You make the cadastral.
And I'll sneak it into the right place.
Or give me back my gold.
Why should you get all the gold and a medal?
Just go and sing.
We'll talk later.
Things changed a lot around here.
Heard anything?
About what?
Nothing?
What?
No new mission?
Stupid, the war's over. There's no mission.
Get back to the kitchen!
A hero doesn't belong in the kitchen.
I want to live like a hero, now!
Heroes have to eat, too, you fool!
Heroes don't eat!
So there!
You look like you've starved your whole life!
Now, get back to work!
Choon-ja's on!
Please!
# Keep on, huh
# keep on, huh
# keep on singing all day long
# keep on dancing all night
