That's good.
When did you come?
Why don't you ask me where I've been?
Well, I've been in Shanghai.
Heard about your father. He's in Shanghai.
Here to accompany you by the order of Major Hialty.
Shall we go?
Let's go this way.
Thank you.
Good to see you.
- Excuse me, Sir. - Okay.
What about her documents?
Prepared one with a Japanese name, and the other with a Korean name.
They're perfect.
I wonder, she's only one person, and it's all in the Japanese occupational control anyways.
You know how a lion raises its cubs?
It drops them off a cliff. It's the best training.
The best audition.
If she makes it back alive, she'll turn into being one of the best agents we could have.
- Could I have this dance? - But I...
Just listen to the music.
Can you feel the rhythm?
Just move your body to the rhythm.
Flow with it. That's it. Flow with it.
Thanks.
I would've left without informing you, if you didn't allow me to go there.
I figured as much.
That's why I prepared these in advance.
Are you all packed?
Don't worry about your baby.
He'll be much safer here.
Just make sure you meet your father, and get back here as soon as possible.
- What are my missions from now on? - What would you like to do?
The reason why you chose me is...
Is it because...
I had so many men before, because I got lots of experience in dealing with men?
Well, let's just say you could understand your mission much better...
if you related it to this dance. Just leave it to the rhythm.
Flow with it, and you'll understand your destiny much better.
Your documents, please.
Your documents, Sir.
- Your documents. - Yes, certainly.
- A Japanese? - Yes.
- Where are you going all by yourself? - To my husband in Shanghai.
Your husband... If he's in Shanghai, where have you been all this time?
- That's personal... - Personal?! This is starting to smell.
An officer of the imperial police asks you a question, and that's how you answer?
My husband told me to say so, if anyone asked indiscreet questions.
Then we'll have to ask your husband a few questions as well.
What's his name?
Captain Nachikawa. Have you heard of him, by any chance?
Pardon us the insolence.
But why third class... let us move you to first class, Ma'am.
My husband suggested this.
He told me not to take advantage of my status in a time of crisis.
Yes, if there's anything we can help with, don't hesitate to call us.
My name is Okamoto.
- Shanghai Station -
What? Captain Nachikawa?
Were there captains in Shanghai I wasn't aware of?
Out of the way.
Step aside.
Get out of the way.
Stay away, don't touch him!
Hold him!
Let me go!
- What now... - Where did you hide him?
There is no way... No way he could have done that!
He pointed a gun at us in broad daylight, and we have witnesses.
They even saw that scar near his eye.
- No... It's not him. - Where is he?
Wouldn't you know that?
How could you let this happen?
It's not him, Lee-gun.
We're going to find him and all his men,
and they will pay for what they did to us with their blood.
There is no way he would do something like that.
I suggest you leave Shanghai.
You never know what our men here might subject you to.
Listen, compatriots shouldn't fight each other over something like this.
Noh Seonsaeng wouldn't want that to happen, either.
I'm sure Daechi was fooled by someone into doing this.
- So... - You still don't get it?
You're being suspected as well.
After all, you're the one who introduced him to us.
And before this happened, you had a diatribe with Noh Seonsaeng.
Lee-gun...
Didn't you say we should also accept communists?
You said that loud and clear in front of everyone.
And if I didn't know any better, I probably would have suspected you as well.
It can't be him...
Leave, and don't you ever come again.
- Lili (Suburbs of Shanghai) -
Will you tell me now?
He was with a man called Kim Gimun.
I made documents for the both of them.
- Where were they headed? - Yenan.
Yenan?!
- Joseon Military Headquarters - (17th Operational Control, Yongsan)
Our squad's itinerary is listed there.
You'll have to bear with us, but we need you to confirm our state of readiness.
I wouldn't worry.
The Kwantung Army is the strongest in the world,
and we can only treat them with the utmost respect.
We've arranged for your departure via train tomorrow at 10:00.
Once you reach Busan, a ship will then take you to Jeju.
But couldn't you spend a few days here in Gyeongseong, while you were there?
As you're well aware, Jeju is not exactly the most developed of places.
We wouldn't want to waste the chief of staff's time,
particularly considering all the deployment plans.
Of course.
Can't be helped.
But I hope you will at least let us treat you to dinner tonight?!
- Let's drink. - Bottoms up.
They're good dancers.
Here, let me pour you one.
I remember people talk about this famous place in Harbin...
You bet!
I think it was on the banks of the Songhua River.
What was it called again...
- Yeah! I think I've heard that, too?! - Right?!
- You mean Songjiang? - Right! That's the one!
I was told General Ishii of Unit 731 is a regular there.
That's the one.
You're right. And on that note...
Nice!
Take good care of him, all right?
Aigoo...
Hey... You're Harim, aren't you?
Harim!
Harim... You...
I thought you were killed in action...
I've heard it from Gyeongrim, he was notified of your death.
How have you been?
- Harim! - Hyungnim...
See? What did I tell you? Harim is still alive! He made it!
If you don't mind, could you leave us alone for a moment?
Sure.
Hyungnim.
- You were alive. - Yes.
I was notified of your death.
It made Mother collapse.
I apologize.
Seongcheol said you were wearing a Japanese army uniform?!
I'm sorry.
I can't explain a thing.
Even the reason why you can't even visit home, and have to meet me in secret?
Yes.
Because not being aware of anything would be safer for you.
The Japanese think Harimoto Natsuo is dead.
- Back in Saipan. - Is that so?
I see.
But the reason I decided to meet you despite all that...
is because I needed to ask you a favor.
It had been weighing on my mind all this time, so I had to do this.
I feel ashamed even asking you, but do me this favor.
I have a woman in Tokyo.
I was seeing her, but now she's...
She's likely waiting for me all by herself.
I'm in no position to contact her, so if you could just...
I see you didn't know.
Katsuko came here.
She was pregnant with your child.
And where is she now?
She had killed a Japanese detective named Yamada.
All on her own.
Where is Katsuko?
Will it be all right for you to worry about this?
Hyungnim.
She was executed.
Not long after she came looking for us,
Japanese detectives came to arrest her.
I went to Japan to visit her a few times, but...
Despite being a Japanese, she was a woman of great character.
Not to mention her affection for you.
Are you all right?
Harim.
She gave birth in prison. Her father took the baby.
It's a girl.
We thought it would be better for the child to stay with him,
and that's what he wished for.
She asked me to give the baby a Korean name,
so I called her Eunha.
She told me to say you weren't the father,
so that you would move on.
Wait, aren't you Jang-gun?
And you are...
Ehh Ehh... Don't remember me? Kwon Junggu.
Look at you... Not even recognizing me.
If you'll excuse me.
You're Harim.
I did hear that you enlisted, but what happened?
I'm afraid you're mistaking me for someone else.
- Shanghai -
Excuse me... Does anyone here speak Korean?
Can I help you?
I came to see Noh Seonsaengnim.
I'm here to see Noh Ilyoung.
He's still out.
I can just wait, then.
There's been a little complication, actually.
He introduced us to a young Joseon man,
and he's the one who killed Noh Ilyoung.
That's why Yoon Seonsaeng is being suspected.
So?
I doubt he'll show up here again.
If that's the case, then where would he be by now?
I don't really know.
You don't?!
He was here until a few days ago, you worked together and yet you don't know?
It's all I can tell you, honestly.
You know what I had to go through to get here?
And how I managed to hear about him?
Or what I felt while I was coming here?
But now you tell me you don't know and... what, am I supposed to just go back?
You really think I could?
Listen, have you seen this man around?
- Seen him a few days ago. - This man?
He said he met him.
Does he know where he is?
Any idea where he went?
Here.
I know it's not much, but please. Help us out.
He came asking information about some man, so I told him.
That this fella went to Yenan. So I told him he could take the train and follow him.
- Did he go as well, then? - Sure did.
- How could you let him go there? - The hell is wrong with you?!
I just told him the truth, what do I care?!
If you knew what kind of place Yenan is, you wouldn't say that.
Whatever! You give me pocket money and then act as if I owe you?
What is he saying?
That your father went to Yenan, he took the train headed there this morning.
- Where is this Yenan? - It's an area under rebel control.
You could call it the Joseon Communist Party's stronghold.
You know what I'm saying?
He went after them. Kim Gimun and his men.
They're the same people who had no qualms about killing Kim Gu.
I never... ever imagined Yoon Seonsaengnim would...
You're not going there as well, are you?
- I came all the way to Shanghai. - Yenan is no Shanghai.
You'd have to deal with Imperial Army, Kuomintang forces and communists.
- And all by yourself. - You just said my father went there.
I'm sure he didn't go there alone.
I don't even want to think about it, but the communists probably paved the way.
Thank you.
Wait, how about you wait here a while?
I could send some of our men and see if they can find out about him.
If you manage to reach him, tell him to wait for me.
That I'm coming.
Let me tell you again, but this is foolish.
Why did you join the independence movement?
All I want is to live together with my family,
and without being subjected to anyone's oppression.
Isn't that what we seek independence for?
Thank you for everything.
Both for what you did for me today, and all the support you've given to my father.
- Spring 1945 - Shuoxian (Shanxi Province, China)
- Halt. - Halt!
- Comrade Kim. - Sir.
Take the 3rd volunteer army platoon on recon.
Yes, Sir.
What do you have in there?
Go.
Hello, Sir.
What is this?
- It's just... - All right, go.
Stop it.
Go!
Get moving!
Here I come!
Come on, quick!
They're defenseless.
There hasn't been any fighting for long,
so they would never expect any Eighth Route Army infiltration.
What is it?
Catching anything today?
- It's so easy, it feels like a clean sweep. - I see.
- Let's see... Wow! You weren't joking. - Don't even think about it!
Don't move.
What was that?
Quick!
Let's move!
To your positions! Get your weapons!
It's the enemy! Emergency!
Stop... Stop!
They got us. Head back to base!
The enemy!
Kill the landlord!
On your knees!
Get down... Get down!
Kill him!
Everyone! This bastard is oppressing tenants and spending all the money on his mistresses!
Let's kill him!
People! How shall we punish this despicable landlord by the name of Zhang Long?
- Seize all his land and kick him out! - Let's kill him!
Folks, folks!
How shall we deal with someone who oppressed farmers for all those years?
- Kill him! - Confiscate all his land!
Take a good look and witness this revolution.
Because it's something we must make happen in our motherland.
It is time we put an end to our suffering.
- Death to despotic landlords! - Kill him!
Sir, the volunteer army is organizing a banquet.
Everyone is waiting for you.
Joseon's independence won't be the end, it's only the beginning.
