Subtitles brought to you by the Inspiring Generation Team @Viki.
I am Yamamoto and in charge of Shanghai.
You must have had much trouble coming this far.
I will lead you.
Yamamoto-san...
Yes.
I've heard that you have not been able to overtake Shanghai yet.
Is it because of unforeseen circumstances or because of your pathetic ability?
That...
Have you been to the Kiyomizu Temple?
It's called Chungsoosa.
It's a place built on a 1000 ft. cliff.
From long ago, our organization to the one who lacks courage,
and to the cowardly, we made them walk the railing of the place.
You know that well?
I know that well.
So you acted that way while knowing?
It's only right that I ask for you to punish yourself for your pathetic doings, but
fortunately for you, there is not a place like Chungsoosa's railings nor
any cliff for you to fall from.
So, you are lucky that the matter ended like this.
Next time, it will not end like this.
Princess!
Please get in the car. I will take you to the hotel.
The best way to view Shanghai is by riding a rickshaw, so I heard.
Princess, that is too dangerous.
Is that so?
Let's see how dangerous it is.
This is the three-way road in Bangsamtong.
Bangsamtong, you say?
Tomorrow, there will be a welcoming meeting at Club Shanghai.
Using your entry as an opportunity, we will show Ill Gook Hwae's power to everyone.
Let's head towards France.
What?
I will personally send an invitation to Hwangbang's boss.
Princess!
What's this?
It's a sign of proof.
Aish! How did he know? I've got no luck...
Ah, he's ridiculously fast.
Let go. I'll give it to you!
Stop wandering around with your mouth open.
If you walk around like that in Shanghai, you'll get pick-pocketed a hundred times.
Hey!
I need a place to stay.
Don't any of you follow me. I'll go alone.
Is there no one to greet me from Hwangbang?
My greetings are late.
I am Wang Baek San from Hwangbang.
I'm Gaya.
You've come a long and rough way.
I need to make it a short and comfortable way.
The street is grand and feels alive.
They say that Shanghai took its influence from the French. From what I can see, it's true.
This place is known as the Paris of the East. I can see why it's called fireworks of Asia.
Are you covetous?
I'm envious.
Now that I see it in person, it is much more beautiful.
I'm even more envious.
In that envy, I hope greed isn't included.
Since you greeted me this way, I should pay you back.
Tomorrow night, we will be having a party at the Shanghai Club.
Please come for you will add much to the party.
A pay back invitation?
I will meet you there then.
I am not asking you to come.
The person I want to meet, is the owner of Shanghai,
Leader Seul Do Sung.
I should also give my greetings to Bangsamtong.
Before I get to my place, set a fire in two places.
They have to be big enough so that I can see them clearly.
I understand, Princess.
Alright, I'm going to go faster!
Lang-Lang?
Okay. I know.
You've bothered us.
My apologies, Miss.
Tomorrow, we'll be running to Beijing so be ready!
Alright, Princess. See you tomorrow.
Okay.
I told you to not bother my time with Lang-Lang.
Princess of Il Gook Hwae has come by.
You let Ill Gook Hwae come into the heart of Hwangbang?
She came alone.
Why didn't you let me know?
Are you trying to make me into an fearful old man who hides?
Especially in front of that wench who came alone?!
I apologize.
I thought wrong.
You have to pay back this insult.
If not, I will not be able to escape the city's belittling.
I will be mindful of that.
What about Jung Tae?
Not yet,
but he will come.
Bangsamtong's owner is a deer, but
Ill Gook Hwae sent a lion, I see.
If Bangsamtong crumbles, their swords will be up on our neck.
We have to persevere.
The one who can protect Bangsamtong is...
only that kid, Shin Jung Tae.
Sit down. The roof won't cave in.
I think you misunderstood something.
You said you need a place to stay.
Even places infested with ticks cost over 1 Won.
For a wanderer like you, you're sure to be ripped off.
But still, this place is..
What about this place?
Never mind, it's nothing.
Here.
Hey, what is this?
A Joseon person doesn't recognize kimchee stew?
I'm happy because it's been so long, that's why.
2 Won.
I'm paying 1 Won for the lodging.
Does it make sense that Kimchee stew is 2 Won?
It makes sense.
I'm not forcing you to eat it. If you don't want it, don't .
Ahh, it's delicious!
The price just went up to 3 Won. -HEY!
If you don't want it, then fine.
It's good, huh? It kills, doesn't it?
Well, it's okay.
I am Yamamoto.
You wanted to see me?
You requested a meeting with just the two of us?
I have a private matter that I want to say to you.
Since you pegged me as a young wench,
it's normal for you to feel disgruntled.
You must be angry with me since I belittled you in front of your men.
There is no one here.
And nothing on me.
This may be your last chance.
Will you wield your sword at me?
Or will you be my sword?
It's because of laziness that I am in this situation.
I will sharpen my sword once again, and become a sword that you won't be ashamed of.
You made the right choice.
If you wielded your sword hidden inside of your sleeve,
you, Yamamoto, would have been dead.
I won't charge you extra for lodging so you can sleep more.
Besides pickpocketing, can you do anything else?
Things like finding how to get somewhere or being a guide to places.
1 Won per hour or 5 Won per day.
You got a meal ticket, huh?
Where can I guide you to, customer?
To Seolrak.
This is the most expensive place in Shanghai.
You can't just get in, unless you are loaded.
It looks pretty grand.
Now, where to next?
Look here! You just can't go in!
What brings you here?
Besides eating, is there any other reasons for me to come to a restaurant?
I'm sorry, but Seolrak is only for the members.
I apologize. This way, please.
I will ask Second in Command Wang. Can you wait please?
I'll do that.
This! This must be pure gold!
It really is! It is!
Take that out!
Take what out?
The meeting will be long.
He ordered us to escort you to your residence.
Since I can wander around Shanghai with my eyes closed, tell him not to worry about me.
Then...
Then goodbye.
I see that you don't cry.
It can't be helped if all your tears have dried up in hatred,
but there's no need to hold in your tears. -The reason why I'm here
is in order to forget about my father.
Forgetting and erasing memories
is a cowardly act of those who could not protect.
If you forget your father,
you'll forget Shineuijoo.
In the end, are you going to forget Chung Ah?
What do you know?
What do you know to talk about Chung Ah... ?
What are you?
Forgetting and erasing is your choice.
Although, telling you the truth is my duty.
Follow me.
I will show you the real side of your father.
Twenty years ago, there was a war in Shanghai.
Hwangbang was cornered by an Ill Gook Hwae invasion.
Then, a Joseon fighter suddenly appeared,
and slayed all the Japanese gangsters, returning Shanghai back to us.
That person was...
your father.
I wanted to repay him.
I thought that I should do everything your father wanted.
Your father, who continued to refuse, finally gave up and asked me for a favor.
He asked for this street.
Bangsamtong... Where the homeless, prostitutes and criminals all gathered.
The place where all the trash and vomits of the drunkards were gathered.
The hell that this was.
In this place, with the Joseon people who were being persecuted,
he wanted to live together.
He was filled with energy. Stores began to reopen and people started to gather around.
The people who had lost their country began to dream again.
But since your father has left,
this place is going back to how it was.
Just yesterday, there were two incidents of fire that seemed to be the acts of Ill Gook Hwae.
This young one... is Teacher Shin's son.
I'm okay, Grandmother.
Accept it. It's for your father's death.
Look here! Look here!
Teacher Shin's son is here!
It feels like Teacher Shin is here. (He looks just like him.)
Look here! Look here!
This is Teacher Shin's son!
Although you may hate your father with every cell in your body, you resemble your father very much.
Thank you.
Hyungnim, I think you need to wake up now.
Leader Seul has came.
Let him be. He'll come and play around.
Shin Young Chool's son has came with him.
Where are they?
Your visits to this shabby place are becoming quite frequent.
As you age, I see you have no memorable friends.
That is why I came here.
He's a new face.
Teacher Shin's son.
Come whenever you want to reminisce, but
don't try to intervene.
Bangsamtong will not listen to nor obey anyone.
Please be on your way.
Who was that?
Bangsamtong's owner, Jung Jae Hwa.
His plate is too small for Bangsamtong, but he's dreaming of Shanghai.
There is a party tonight held by Ill Gook Hwae. I plan to go alone to show them I'm still here.
Let's hurry up, to see who controls Shanghai.
I'm not interested.
You're going to come either way.
You are already, fitting well in this environment.
Invitation
Are you trying to make me look foolish?
I'm going alone,
just like she wanted me to.
You came.
I am Seul Doo Sung.
I am Gaya.
I heard things about you,
although I didn't think you would walk in here though.
"You can beat up a dog but watch the dog's master." In Chinese.
One of our chinese proverbs says,
"You can beat up a dog but watch the dog's master."
That's why I came.
To see the owner's face.
I also know of a Chinese proverb.
"Don't be nervous of things you hear, but be nervous of things that stop." In Chinese.
Don't be nervous of things you hear, but be nervous of things that stop.
Thankfully,
I didn't learn how to stop.
I, too, didn't learn how to back down.
Please come in.
There won't be any trouble tonight.
It's not important who wins.
We just need to drag him here with a fight.
If Seol Doo Sung gets hurt or dies, then a war will break out.
If not...
Gaya will not reject a guest's invitation.
I'll be mindful of it.
I heard that Hwangban was originally formed by muggers.
Since they also call the muggers Hong Uh Ja (Men of Red),
I thought that a red pig tail would make a good gift for you.
So, you're calling me a Man of Red.
On the other hand, giving a pig's tail...
is the ultimate insult.
How insulting. Do you want to start a fight?
Who is the owner of you?!
It can't be Gaya.
I don't think she can be this immature.
If one get's insulted and does nothing, one will be known as a coward.
Also, if I can't hold back my anger and fight in public, my reputation will go down the drain.
No, I guess this old man's neck will be gone.
But because one is afraid of death,
one can't be a coward!
Listen carefully.
I will let you pass by today, but...
whatever happens to me,
my men will...
find you and your owner.
And..
they will kill you.
I'll deal with them.
It's a fight that came to me. -Stand down!
If you fight him,
there is no way for you to survive.
Princess! Princess!
What is the matter?
There is big trouble.
Stay still.
You got a command, I see.
Who was it?
Who told you to do this?
Seeing how you can use the sword, you must be one of the soldiers.
Because of you, I'm facing a huge inconvenience.
When tomorrow comes, I will ask you and your owner of this sin.
Until then, stay alive.
Get rid of him.
I sincerely apologize for the unpleasant circumstance.
I ask that you don't keep ill feelings about this.
All my life, I lived at the edge of swords.
To me, this incident is a speck of dust.
Don't be too concerned.
To those who caused this trouble, I will deal with them.
That guy there just blocked the sword that was aimed at me.
That act saved my pride.
Pretend you didn't see him.
It's been a long time, Shin Jung Tae.
It's been a long time, Gaya.
Let's continue with the party.
The person called 'father'...
is dead.
And?
What if the person who killed your father was me?
How was the party?
That arrogant Bang Ja.
When did Club Shanghai become an Ill Gook Hwae's property?
Let's go to Bansamtong!
I need to meet Jung Jae and that bastard.
Let's start.
Where did she go?
Ahjussi!
I'll be in Namkyung-no at the funeral house.
If you want they key, come there.
I thought the funeral was over.
Oh, you found your way well! Was it difficult?
The key.
How can a person be so straightforward...
Do you think you'll be able to get some noodles like that?
You said you were going to a party.
Why does your face look so tired.
Do you want a drink at a bar? I'll pay!
It's fine. Just give me the key.
People usually drink a ton when it's free.
Here!
You and Shanghai's owner, what relation are you?
He's my dad!
It was a great hobby.
What are you talking about?
Joseon, Shineuijoo. China, Shanghai.
He had many kids when he couldn't even be responsible.
That person must have gone crazy.
Huh, could it be that it ended there?
Let's say that I joked around.
What do you know about our ahjussi that you're talking like that?
What? - Who are you to go around talking smack about him?
Ahjussi Young Chool,
not only the people over there in Bansamtong,
but also in Namkyung-no,
he was the father of the abandoned, homeless people.
Do you know that?
When little kids had no one to look up to,
he was the only person who would lend a hand!
Do you know?!
I don't know.
You don't even know, so why are you taking smack?
A bastard like you, doesn't have the right to sleep in our house.
Give me the key.
Give me the key, you bastard!
Get lost.
I told you to get lost!
Ahjussi, please forget what that jerk said.
I will spit for you.
Hyungnim, does this make sense?
The money we received for renting Club Shanghai for 15 days,
it's more money than working at this club for
for a whole year...
I'm saying, it's much more!
That's what I'm saying.
I guess these bastards from Ill Gook Hwae must have some money.
I asked them for 500 pieces of silver as a joke, and they just gave it!
Fu**.
This time, should we make Club Shanghai Ill Gook Hwae's?
Should we?
With whose permission?!
I thought old age prevents long and deep sleep,
but I guess you have trouble falling asleep, too.
Since I already got hit,
let's know the reason.
Why do I have to get hit by someone who's not even my sunbae?
Club Shanghai...
did you think it was yours?
I didn't leave...
Club Shanghai under your watch,
It's not owned by you, but by Shanghai.
That Shanghai, Hyungnim Mae left it to me.
The last 7 years that he left his position,
when you left after playing and creating a mess,
the guys who cleaned up the alcohol,
the person who cleaned and even dumped out the poop,
was me.
So did you ever pay for maintenance?
So that's why... I was just trying to help my guys,
so I rented the club out for a couple days.
Is that such a big sin?
Huh?
It's not a place that was created for you to make some money!
The people who lost the world,
from arrest and incarceration,
so that they could rest freely for a minute or a second,
where everyone can be treated equally,
a place that acts as a fort, that is Club Shanghai.
This kind of protection zone,
you bastard, sold it to Ill Gook Hwae for a little bit of money?!
Didn't I say it was for rent?!
Can you not understand?
In Chinese, Zae Ye, in English, rental. Okay?
The manager of Club Shanghai
will be re-chosen.
Sir,
I am Jung Jae Hwa.
Even the Shanghai Mae Hyungnim couldn't get rid of,
I am Jung Jae Hwa!
What is the status of Jung Tae father's body?
It took some time because it was a murder.
I got information that by tomorrow the body will be arriving at the morgue.
Wang Baek San...
Yes.
This will be a public event.
Jung Tae father's funeral will be led by Hwangban's leader.
Place notifications in Bamsantong and gather some men.
Does that mean that you will manage Club Shanghai personally?
No.
The manager of Club Shanghai
will be Shanghai Mae's son, Shin Jung Tae.
That child will take care of it.
And this funeral,
will be the event that will verify what I said.
Let's go.
Dangsikhadae
Food and Lodging
I'll be going.
Water?
No, do you have a room?
There is none.
Excuse me?
Leave... before it gets too late.
Mang Chi,
get all the guys together from Bamsangtong who leeched off me.
Place them at the Bamsantong entrances.
Yes?
Since we don't know when Hwangban will attack, get those guys ready, you idiot!
Yes, Hyungnim.
Excuse me, Hyungnim,
let's return this silver and kick out the Ill Gook Hwae people. Wouldn't that be wise?
Why?
Why do I have to?
Tell me.
Are you afraid?
I'm sorry.
- Look here.
I'm sorry, I understand. -You afraid?No, I'm not.
I'm sorry!
I'm sorry. I'm not afraid. -Look at me.
I'm sorry.
Look at me.
I'm sorry. - Hyungnim!
Young Chool Hyungnim's son has shown up in Bangsamtong.
What?
Ah, you know that guy that Seul Bang Joo brought?
That guy showed up at the restaurant.
Is this why that old man brought Young Chool's son to Shanghai?
To use that bastard to overtake the Shanghai Club.
And to take away my men. Huh!
What did you just say, Seo Soo?
About what?
Earlier...who's the name of the person who insulted Shanghai's Mae ahjussi?
Ah, that jerk?
Shin Jung Tae.
What?
I said Shin Jung Tae.
Where is that person? Tell me, where is Jung Tae?
Do you know him?
Tell me where did he go?
Excuse me?!
It doesn't have to be a room. It just has to be a place where I can sleep.
That chair over there is fine.
Didn't I tell you to go before it's too late?
Excuse me...
What's the matter?
You bastard, don't know?
If you with Hwangban's backing came to over take Bamsangtong, shouldn't we have an announcement?
Look here. I don't care about Bangsamtong,
and I don't even want to fight with you.
Then why are you lingering around here?
Take care of him.
Is this what Shanghai's Mae made,
this kind of greeting?
You arrogant son of a bit**. How dare you talk like that!
Attack him again!
Kill him!
Die!
Stop it!
Ok Ryeon...
Do you fight even here?
I asked why are you fighting even here?
Stop it!
Ahh! It's so hot! Ahh!
Aigoo!
Are you crazy?
Hey, are you trying to boil the guys?
They're skin's going to come off!
I told you already,
to not start fights in front of my store.
I understand, I'll leave. Stop doing this.
Just take care of him. I'll come back for the bill tomorrow.
I'm going.
Are you going to leave him like that?
You look like a wet rat, you idiot.
Chi Gi. -Yes, Hyungnim.
Is that Hwa Ri old man still picking up corpses?
Oh, of course! Since it's winter, the ones that freeze or die from hunger.
It's a busy season for him. A busy time for him.
Tell him I want to see him.
Right now?
Should I tell you in English?
Right now.

I am going to live.
Please help me.
