Catch him!
Comrade...
Let's go!
Subtitles are brought to you by The Bridal Mask Team @Viki.com
As expected, it was you.
Lee Kang To, you were that bastard.
Son of a bitch!
Are you crazy?
Have you gone mad?
We finally caught him and you want to kill him?!
Are you going to catch Bridal Mask or not?!
It's you. It's you, right? You're that bastard Bridal Mask, right?
Nonsense. I . . .
love this woman.
What? What did you say?
So that's why you thought I was Bridal Mask?
Then you meant to lure me to Hwasunro?
So you put up the whole show just to trap me?!
Despicable bastard, how could you... Right in front of me?
How could you. . . You bastard. . .
Please move aside.
Bridal Mask
Episode 23.
You just called.
When they get there safely, they'll call.
Our comrades will be more anxious if you keep doing that.
I'm sorry, Leader Jo.
But why do I feel so troubled?
They should have called by now.
Even if it's hard, hold it in and wait.
I understand. I'll hold it in.
What's the matter?
These are identification papers and boat tickets.
It will be dangerous to go to China due to the war.
First, go to Japan. . .
Be it the U.S. or Canada, go to somewhere safe.
What are you saying right now?
You, together with Lee Kang To, leave Joseon.
What do you mean by that?
Fine.
I . . . just somehow happened, ridiculously. . .
I came to love Lee Kang To.
I can't believe I fell in love with a trivial Joseon man.
The organization I belong to has ordered me to kill him myself.
I'm not surprised.
In the last 2 days,
my only thought has been . . .
if I would be able to kill him.
So this is my conclusion.
Could it be that she caught onto
that Young Master is Bridal Mask?
If you don't take Lee Kang To and leave,
I will have to kill that man.
What do I have to do with Lee Kang To that you are being like this?
Seems like you've mistaken something.
Go back now.
Don't you really want to leave with that man?
With this ticket and money,
you will be able to live happily without worries.
Because wherever he looks, there are so many people suffering...
Now, he's a person who can't take off that mask.
I...support that person's
will, that intention...
and love him.
Do you really
have the confidence not to regret it?
Anyway, I already know of your sincerity.
Goodbye.

How'd it go?
As I expected,
Bridal Mask is Lee Kang To.
Lee Kang To?!
You're right.
That was the Joseon bastard who saved our lady's life
five years ago.
If she knew that bastard was Bridal Mask and couldn't kill him...
If she's been adamantly hiding that bastard's identity...
Ra Ra
is still a Joseon person.
Give the order.
Ueno Rie is a Joseon person?
She was a gisaeng at Myeong Wol Gwan,
who served the President for awhile.
Will it be alright
if I kill your daughter?
I only said that because I thought
President Ueno wouldn't kill his daughter.
So,
did you kill Bridal Mask?
Just when I was going to end that bastard's life,
Superintendent Kimura stopped me.
As soon as I checked the bastard's face,
I wanted to skin him alive.
However, if we just kill that bastard,
we can't catch Yang Baek and Dong Jin.
Even if we kill Bridal Mask, as long as Yang Baek and Dong Jin are alive...
You...
will never figure out Bridal Mask's identity, you bastard.
Because even after I die,
I will keep my eyes wide open and
protect Bridal Mask!
Their national spirit
will continue to breathe and live.
We must root it out
to make Joseon people grateful to the Emperor, His Majesty's grace,
for voluntarily saving Joseon which could've fallen into being a colony of a powerful Western country.
Kinpei.
His conviction is the future of the Empire of Japan.
Kimura Shunji,
keep the fact that I know Bridal Mask's identity
a secret from Ra Ra.
You also
need to promise me one thing.
A promise?
Let me end Lee Kang To's life
with my own hands.
Clinic for the People
What happened?
I couldn't help Bridal Mask
because I had to help Reporter Song escape.
I followed him belatedly, but
he'd already collapsed.
Don't worry.
They said he'll wake up soon.
I'll stay here, you can go.
Actually, I do need to go to Reporter Song.
Then. . .
I'll leave him with you, Ms. Mok Dan.
Comrade Tasha.
Comrade Tasha!
Oh, my! I'm glad to see you!
What are you doing here at this time, Superintendent Kimura?
Bring me some liquor. Don't send anyone.
Welcome!
What would you like to drink?
Get out.
Good morning, everybody!
Subtitles brought to you by Bridal Mask Team@viki.com
Ahhh . . . Who's this?
I'd almost forgotten your face.
Anyway, have you been well?
Yet, our Three Musketeers (Kang To, Shunji & Minami) were once the best modern boys in Kyeong Seong.
Madame, didn't I tell you not to let anyone in?
Hey!
These days, you don't care about Joseon's handicrafts any longer, right?
Back in the day, you used to go crazy even for a humble bowl.
Hey, hey, hey, hey! Do you remember that time?
To find snowshoes for you, Kang To and I, three of us,
We went to that remote mountain village in the snow--
You're not going to beat it?
Three of us pretended to ski wearing those snowshoes, rolling and running...
This son of a bitch, did you smile?
What? Friend?
Me? With a Joseon bastard?
You can come out.
You don't have to worry about this person.
Young Master.
Are you coming back to your senses?
Can you see me?
Boon Yi...
How did I get here?
Comrade An brought you here.
Comrade...An?
Why did that bastard suddenly appear
where Reporter Song was being transported?
Does Ra Ra intend to kill me?
Or is it Kishokai?
Ra Ra came to see me.
Ra Ra?
She told me to leave with you and
offered papers and money.
I refused, but
no matter how hard I think about it, I feel anxious.
Does that woman
know that you're Bridal Mask?
She said she needed to kill you.
Don't worry.
That woman has deceived me many times, but
this time, I could feel her sincerity.
She seemed to be sincerely worried about you and
it seemed like she liked you.
A few years ago,
I rescued a Joseon woman who was being humiliated by Japanese bastards.
That woman is certainly...Ra Ra.
She is a Joseon person?
So, that's why. She had that kind of past.
Thanks for staying with me.
Of course.
I told you I'd follow you and be with you to the end.
I'm thinking of accepting Sato Hiroshi
as a member of Kishokai.
I'm reconsidering it because you strongly recommended him.
No.
I was thoughtless.
Why are you saying he shouldn't?
As Kimura Taro said, is there a chance that that bastard is Bridal Mask?
That's right.
Since the chance of him being Bridal Mask has increased because
of the new fact Kimura Shunji figured out,
I think we should watch him more.
Kinpei,
I don't think it's time yet.
Reporter Song.
Bridal Mask rescued you! He kept his promise.
Teacher, I'm sorry for making you worry.
No need.
It has been a long time, Teacher.
Comrade An.
My friend.
You escorted Teacher into this pit of fire?
You're enduring in this fire.
The two of you must meet.
You must meet to live.
Of course.
We need to meet. Of course we do.
Teacher Yang Baek must've come with a great purpose.
Teacher!
Japan has increased the number of soldiers sent to China's expeditionary army to 1 million, but despite the
surge, its army just barely seized several major ports and railways.
Pushing it deeper into the pit of conflict.
This could be a sign that the Sino-Japanese war is entering a world-wide stage.
The Sino-Japanese war is taking a long time.
If so, England and America will enter this war.
If that happens, Japan will lose.
Finally,
the time for us to become independent is approaching.
Teacher Yang Baek also thinks that. That's why he wants to meet you.
Where do I need to go to meet Teacher Yang Baek?
Jong Ro Police Station
Idiot!
You lost our connection to Dong Jin?
And to Bridal Mask at that?
When we need to urgently catch Yang Baek and Dong Jin?
I'm sorry.
You're not going to tell me?
This is an order.
Tell me what that plan was.
I'm sorry.
I. . .
am Murayama Yoshio.
I can never forgive mutiny.
Please don't do things you'll regret.
What did you say?
Yang Baek, Dong Jin and even Bridal Mask,
I will catch them all and bring them in front of you.
If you do this, how will you look me in the face then?
Are you that confident?
If you shoot a pistol, sometimes you'll kill a person, but sometimes you won't kill a person.
However, a well-prepared strategy
can even kill an enemy you don't see.
A bastard who can't take responsibility for the words he blurts out is trash.
I. . .
am a person who needs to clear away trash to be satisfied.
I'll keep that in mind.
You can go out.
Lieutenant Koiso!
Yes!
Didn't Lee Kang To come? Why don't I see him?
Ahhh, that jerk has been missing a lot these days.
I haven't seen him since yesterday.
Using this chance, why don't you just fire him.
Don't be like that, aren't we just like a family.
He's a bastard that will eventually appear.
Let's be more laid-back.
How should I destroy this bastard?
I'm sorry.
I met with an accident yesterday.
Accident?
What accident?
I was slightly hurt.
It's not to the point where you should worry.
Is that so?
You should be careful.
Sit.
Bridal Mask. . .
How did it go?
As you suggested, Superintendent, I'm investigating the people around President Park In Sam.
Kang To.
Didn't you know?
Bridal Mask. . .
Took Dong Jin's staff member, Reporter Song yesterday.
Really?
As you had predicted, I think Bridal Mask is connected with Dong Jin.
However I think about it, we shouldn't be investigating this separately
We will have to do it together.
Why?
You don't like it?
I don't like?
If they're connected to each other, we need to work together.
That way, the chances of catching them will be greater.
Superintendent, it's time for the morning meeting.
Recently,
among the people of the peninsula,
false rumors are spreading like a contagious disease.
People who exaggerate hardship,
people who say foul things about the current state of affairs,
and people who are spreading groundless rumors will all
be arrested for spreading false rumors.
Do you understand?
Yes!
Yesterday,
my officers lost Dong Jin's staff member
to Bridal Mask.
This is all...
because you don't have a Japanese mindset!
It's not a problem with the Japanese mindest, but a problem with morale!
Morale?
You promote and demote officers without proper justification.
Who would be devoted?
In order to maintain order within the Imperial Police Force,
I believe Sato Hiroshi's demotion needs to be reversed.
You dare to talk back to me, Murayama Yoshio?
Superintendent Kimura,
do you want to be demoted as well?
Dismissed!
Subtitles are brought to you by the Bridal Mask Team @viki.com. SRT Extracted by http://asiadramasub.blogspot.com
What...What did you say?
My Shunji?
He said Lee Kang To's demotion was unfair.
He challenged me in front of my officers.
No way!
Are you saying I'm making this up?
From what I heard,
he was promoted due to his connections...
Are you done talking?!
I cannot allow mutiny just because
he's your son, Commissioner.
I'm asking you to keep your private
and public life separate.
Excuse me, Commissioner.
Nothing will happen to my Soon Hee, right?
Didn't I tell you not to bring up that matter again?
This... (paper Seon Hwa wrote about recruiting Comfort Women scam)
Since the Principal sent her, this isn't
where my Soon Hee went, right?
Do you want to be sent to the penitentiary for spreading false rumors?
No.
I was wrong.
[Government General of Joseon]
Since the Japan-China war is moving slowly,
the burden of our govenment is getting bigger.
Moreover, the Chinese Nationalist Party and Chinese Communist Party have joined hands,
so all Chinese people are gathering their strength together
to fight against our Imperial Army.
I'm so worried about that.
Your Excellency, why are you so worried when you have Joseon?
Please announce the Special Act of Supporting Army immediately
and get volunteer soldiers from Joseon.
Commissioner!
Are you suggesting to give guns to Joseon people?
What if, with those guns, they chant "Long live to Joseon Independence",
instead of "Long live to the Emperor, His Majesty"?
Chief Murayama.
We can make weapons from factories right away.
But if we want to raise soldiers, it takes at least 15 years.
Right now, we've already sent all our Japanese men to the broad land of China,
so is there any other answer than Joseon people?
We're not even able to catch a single Bridal Mask now.
So, how can we give them guns?
If the Joseon people, who receive guns,
turn and become "Bridal Masks with weapons", then what will you do?
Then, it would be okay
if we conscript Joseon people into the Emperor's Imperial Army.
That's right, Kimura.
That is it.
Immediately, make plans to conscript
Joseon people to be Imperial subjects.
- Yes! - Yes!
For now, we should ban the Joseon language
and prohibit using the Joseon alphabet.
And what about building Japanese shrines in every district and town of the entire country,
and making all people worship, without missing a single person?
Commissioner, most of all,
we must teach them Japanese History.
We must make them forget their own history first,
so that their race doesn't have a future.
Whenever news comes to the Headquarters of the Japanese Military,
saying that our Imperial Army is winning every battle
and invading that big and wide Chinese land,
how thrilled I am!
As one of the Imperial subjects, my pride is overflowing.
Would it be only Chinese land?
Our Imperial Army will push even to the Pacific Ocean,
and make Western people who look down on Asia
scared to death!
By the way, Chief Murayama,
do you know what kind of rumors are widely spreading these days?
Rumors?
They say that Yang Baek is now in Kyeong Seong.
I thought, "No way! It's not possible, is it?".
But how many years has it been that the great Imperial Police haven't been able to catch Bridal Mask?
Honey, Honey.
If you say it like that...
don't you know you can be arrested for spreading false rumors?
I'll leave first.
The rumor that you came here is continuously spreading secretly.
Even if you came in absolute secrecy, it would've been still dangerous,
but if you keep spreading this fact like this...
Leader Jo,
Joseon, where people are already having a hard time to survive anyway,
will become a living hell soon.
To our people who are living in this land and having a hard time,
if I keep telling them, from outside of the country, that we should unite to survive,
how can I move our people's mind even a little bit?
The war between China and Japan
is getting extended.
Japs are now
recruiting young Joseon people for so-called volunteer soldiers,
to make them serve as fodder for bullets in battles.
But soon, it will turn to the conscription system for soldiers and laborers,
and drag people by force.
Wouldn't they drag even young students?
For the time when it will become a living hell for our young Joseon people,
we should be prepared.
With the justficiation that we're figting for Joseon's independence,
I'm the one who gave the suicide bombs
to those two young men, Yoon Bong Gil and Lee Bong Chang.
[In 1932, Yoon Bong Gil successsfully bombed and killed several prominent Japanese officials.]
[Also in 1932, Lee Bong Chang tried to kill Hirohito by throwing a grenade at the Japanses Emperor.]
To those young men,
I owe them their lives. So to pay them back,
I want to make sure not a single young Joseon person
will die as bullet fodder in the Japs' war.
Just because they didn't have their own country and they were poor.
That's my wish.
Looking at Bridal Mask snatching Dong Jin's subordinate,
it means Yang Baek is already here.
Yang Baek wants to meet Dong Jin.
Since yesterday, the police squads of the Gyeonggi-do Provincial Police
have been surrounding the entire city of Kyeong Seong.
The problem is we still don't know the identity of Bridal Mask.
Yang Baek... Dam Sa Ri...
The Bridal Mask that I know so well...
Oh Mok Dan is the only key for us to catch the three of them.
No matter what, I will have to investigate Mok Dan, right?
I'm really going crazy.
No matter how, I need Mok Dan to spill it out.
You saw it too, right?
That she tried to go in that nail box herself.
Torturing her is not going to work at all.
Which method should we use so that Mok Dan would spill everything?
I'm not sure.
Would there be such a way?
We should find it.
We need to find a way to make Mok Dan say "Long live to the Emperor, His Majesty".
I will go to Kyeong Seong Inn.
Why should I avoid Shunji when he comes?
If I avoid him, he will become more suspicious of you and Father, Young Master.
Please listen to me.
Go to either Jeong Ja Ok (tailor shop) or Baek Geon ajussi. Avoid Shunji right now.
If I disappear, Shunji would just torment Leader Jo.
Don't worry about me, I'll take care of it.

Why does Bridal Mask always appear around you?
I know that that is strange too. But,
I thought that Bridal Mask, was the young master that I met when I was young.
However, even though he saved me,
he did not show his face
and also left without saying anything to me.
I must have been mistaken.
Should I find him for you?
What are you talking about?
The young master that you wanted to meet.
I'm, anyway, a Superintendent at Jong Ro Police Station, but I've been inattentive to you.
It might take some time.
But if I put effort into it, I'll be able to find him.
I will find him no matter what and see what kind of bastard he is.
No, thanks. I don't want to be indebted to you.
For the sake of that guy, didn't you give me your heart?
Kimura Shunji!
Do you think you could have my heart!?
I... can't give you up even if I die.
I won't give you up to anyone.
What did Shunji say?
He just asked me if I'd been contacted by Father and then left.
He didn't torment you?
No matter how much Shunji torments me, I don't mind.
From now on, you're going to continue being this brave, right?
Of course. Whose daughter am I?
Thank you.
Please accept my bow.
Right now, the Empire is fighting a war with China and is in a state of emergency.
To send soldiers and laborers to the battlefields immediately,
announce the law of national mobilization.
And gather private organizations which cooperate with the Empire's policy,
and organize the League of National Spirit Mobilization.
I understand, President.
We will put Joseon League in the central area and make local leagues in all provinces.
Under them, we will make Patriot Units, one per every 10 houses.
Through Patriot Units, the movement for increasing production and gathering grains will be organized,
so that they can be prepared for drafting of soldiers and laborers.
We'll teach Japanese as the national language.
For the rest of the people be left behind, as they are not fit to be soldiers or laborers,
make Supply units so that they can be prepared for all-out war!
-Yes!
Because we couldn't live under the Japs' cruel rule . . .
Because we didn't have any strength to endure more, or because it was even better to die than to live,
people screamed "Love live to Korea's independence" with their bare fists. That was "Samil Mansei Demonstration" in 1919.
Yes, that's right.
From Kyeong Seong to Jeju, even to Manchuria and the Maritime Province in Russia,
wherever our compatriots were, the sound of people yelling mansei did not end.
Since those bastards were too frightened to guide our independence movement into a local autonomous movement,
the Cabinet members even tried all kinds of channels.
I risked my life
to come here so we could organize a 2nd Mansei Riot.
However, this time, unlike the Samil Mansei Demonstrations,
which were nonviolent resulting in people dying powerlessly in front of guns and swords,
I intend to organize all 13 provinces to fight
concurrently in an armed struggle.
Teacher,
if the young Death Squad who follows me and
the public who follow you join forces,
we can advance the day of our independence.
Dong Jin,
your strength is urgently needed.
As a matter of fact, when the Sino-Japanese war started,
I thought the day of our independence was approaching and
set up secret Death Squads in all 13 provinces
to recruit friends who would join our cause.
As the war continues,</I.
the Japanese bastards will soon draft young Joseon men
by force.
We must not let young Joseon men be forced
to fight for the Japanese bastards, be shot and die a miserable death.
In order to prevent that, we must start actively fighting now.
Then we need to start convincing men to refuse to be drafted.
How can we start that kind of movement?
We need to get rid of the family registers that'll allow them to draft by force.
Family register?
Yes. The courts in all provinces, the family register office of Kyeong Seong City Hall,
and each branch of this family register office must be burned or destroyed.
That's good. How about we coordinate a simultaneous attack with all 13 provinces?
Thank you, Dong Jin.
I also want to join your Death Squad, Teacher Dong Jin.
Of course.
I have a good idea.
How about we throw them into confusion this time?
Jong Ro Police Station
I'm sorry.
I saw him meeting Oh Mok Dan on a street car, but I lost him at Angel Club.
If you commit one more mistake, you will die by my hands.
Superintendent! Right now, Bridal Mask is burning the family register office of Kyeong Seong City Hall.
What? Bridal Mask?
Is that true? Yes.
Superintendent! He says that Bridal Mask is burning the family register branch of Yeong Deung Po!
Yes.
Superintendent! He says that Bridal Mask is burning the family register branch of Eastern district too!
Which branch hasn't been burnt yet?
It's the branch in Yong San!
Everybody! Go to the Yong San branch!
Yes!
Kang To!
Follow me.
Lee Kang To, what are you doing? Hurry and catch that bastard!
Yes!
Episode 24 will air tomorrow night at 9:55 PM (KST)
