Here you are.
Take good care of her,
as we'll need someone to welcome that prick once he'll be captured.
Is anyone home?
Sir?
- Who is it? - Is your keeper home?
- Is he home? - What?!
- Sir! - Where do you think...
I said no!
- Sir! - I ought to...
What do you think you're doing? Have you completely lost it?
Choseon was captured.
- What?! - Naeuri, shall I call the boys?
Don't you mind us, go back to sleep.
- Captured, again? - It's because of me.
She doesn't know a thing.
What are you trying to say?
I stole classified information from the Great Cause Front.
You what?
I'm...
involved in the independence movement, in all honesty.
In... dependence?!
As I told you, Choseon doesn't know anything.
She's going through all this because she introduced me to you.
Then, what... What does that make of me now?
- I'll be damned... - You must help her.
Independence movement?! That has nothing to do with me.
- Nothing at all! - But still, can't you help her out of there?
And why? I... Of all people!
If there's anyone who can, that's you.
You're the only one I can count on.
So Choseon was detained?
So the reason that Suzuki arrested her last time...
It wasn't because he had set his sights on her!
Independence movement?!
Of all people, why come to me?!
Aigoo... I'll be damned!
You're still a councilor, after all. That's why.
Everything that happened to her is because of people like you.
Because you let Japan usurp our country without a complaint.
Don't you get it?
Drink.
It was foolish.
No... Crazy, actually.
What if the police were waiting there already?
We all knew what we were getting into, Yeook is no different.
Think about the big picture. Once we regain our independence...
Goddamn...
Forget everything and go hide for a couple of months.
Don't make a single move.
- Is there anywhere I could get explosives? - Enough with the bullshit!
What are you going to do, blow up the police station?
You're an indep...
An independence fighter.
How can you lose yourself over something like that?
Listen. Let's think things out.
There's a lot of work for us to do.
So enough with your damned sentimentalism!
We are staking our lives on this!
And for what?
For what country and what kind of people?
For what reason?
If Yeook dies, then who would I do that for?
Who do you "stake your life" and kill people for?
Councilor Kwak, that old fart was the one who introduced him.
He took all our classified documents!
Do you even realize what they were about?
They were orders from His Majesty the Emperor!
That's what he took from us. And why he threw explosives at me!
He's behind this. Don't you get it?
Capture them all! They're all in on this!
You threw explosives at Park Chungeum?!
Do you even know what those documents were?
Never seen someone so stubborn.
I suggest you just talk.
You're not going to endure it for long.
Inside this place, you'll end up talking one way or another.
So before they mess you up even worse, just talk.
Does this even suit the famous Choseon of the Gukilgwan?
You're a woman.
Even with a gun, you're still a woman.
I don't really know who that Jang Harim is,
but is he really worth going through all this?
Isn't it unfair?
Aigoo... Here you are.
I apologize for asking you to come here.
No... It's perfectly understandable, considering how busy you are.
Move elsewhere first thing in the morning.
You don't think Yeook will...
- Especially with her baby here. - Just do it!
All right, then.
After all, Lee Seongdo and his men already left.
Go where nobody will find you. A place even I couldn't imagine.
And contact Hialty, tell him to change our call sign.
You're not thinking of...
Hurry up and start packing.
I don't know how long I can endure this.
You fool! Stop!
Hey!
What the hell are you saying? What is that supposed to mean?
Come here. Come and let's talk.
Follow me!
Yeook is never going to talk.
So if we do nothing, they'll kill her.
You crazy son of a...
You...
You crazy son of a bitch...
Ilguk.
I'm sorry.
Get up!
Know how much I wanted to see you?
I'm the one who questioned your mother and brother.
Ahh... I wonder if your mother's arm is all right.
I was even in Jeju.
That was impressive... Blowing up the entire army command.
But there was another one with you, what's his name again?
Can't pay my respects if I don't know his name, right?
Guess we'll find out soon enough.
Right... There was that old man in Jeju as well.
What was his granddaughter's name again?!
She's dead.
It wasn't my intention, but you know how investigations can get out of hand.
Let's see... What should we start with? There's so much to talk about.
Your partner, the other members who were with you at Bumin Hall...
Then again, maybe they're not even all that important.
I'm sure you're answering to some US Army officer.
Yeah... That should be a fun story.
- Suzuki, you said? - Got a good memory, I see.
Are you from Joseon?
You are.
And I keep hearing "Chosen scum" because of people like you,
forcing people like me to work twice as hard to make a name for themselves.
So, what, you'd prefer to become a Jap?
You'd have been much luckier if you'd met one of those "Japs."
Do as you wish.
Nobody got out of here alive without confessing everything they knew first.
Know what my secret is?
I adapt my questioning method depending on whom I'm dealing with.
And I can tell that right away.
Who might talk with a little pepper in his eyes, who needs a broken leg,
or just a single cigarette.
And scum like you.
- Brought her? - Yes.
Stupid son of a bitch.
Mother...
Mother.
What's the point of bringing her, when she's in that state?
Bring me that woman!
Useless fool.
Chosen scum...
Mother...
- Are you all right? - Yes...
If only I had died earlier, you wouldn't have to go through all this.
Forgive me.
Mother.
Right before he died, your father said this.
That he was sorry to his kids.
I finally understand what he meant.
Mother! Please...
Mother. Mother!
I kept enduring this just to see you.
But now... I can...
Mother...
Forgive me.
I let you embrace your mother on her deathbed, and I don't even get a thank you?
Are we deaf?
I... I'm gonna kill you, Suzuki.
Didn't you miss her?
Choseon of the Gukilgwan. Born Yoon Yeook.
Yoon Hongcheol's daughter.
Her father is someone I always wanted to get my hands on,
so I guess meeting his daughter like this is fate?
Served as comfort woman since November 1943 from China to Saipan.
And then we have a student soldier who was sent to Saipan,
our Jang Harim...
Sounds intriguing.
You're messing with the wrong man, Suzuki.
Think I'll confess everything just because you torture her?
Kind of?!
She's of little worth. Just like you.
Before those Japs, you all are.
Especially you, Suzuki... The Japs' dog.
Don't bother.
She was a comfort woman. Know what that means?
Think I'd have any feelings for such a woman?
Is that so? Is she really of little worth?
So tell me, why can't you even look at her in the eyes?
Take a good look, Jang Harim! Say that again while you look at her!
Whose spy are you? Where were you trained?
Stop it! I beg you, stop!
You sons of bitches!
She's got nothing to do with this, I'm the spy.
I'm the one.
- Your affiliation. - US Army OSS.
- Training location? - Kunming in China.
What's the name of the man in charge of operations?
What's his name?
Hialty.
Rank?
Major, as far as I know.
Any other Joseon national training with you?
Other Joseon nationals!
- Speak! - I don't know.
I told you all I know.
- Jinxi - (Liaoning Province, China)
These are the villages where those Joseon rebels live.
Eleven in total.
Here is their list.
According to Japanese intel, it should be around a thousand people.
They're not only harboring independence fighters,
but also providing food and shelter, creating complications for the Japanese.
There's no time to waste, as hesitating would only make things worse.
But it's out of Japanese territory, isn't it?
Can we handle this on our own?
You fool! Think the Japanese would give us those weapons without asking a thing?
And those people are farmers. Think of all the crops we'll find.
But those are stubborn and resilient people, they won't let destitution get to them.
So the Japanese want us to exterminate them all.
Don't even spare their dogs.
Answer! Who are you?
Who the hell are you? Answer!
Are you from Joseon?
Answer!
That's right.
I'm from Joseon.
Speak Chinese!
- Jianping - (Liaoning Province, China)
Yes.
We have no time to waste. Don't you get it?
Stay here and you'll be killed!
And even if we ran away, how far could we get with women and children?
We're dealing with rogues on horses.
They'd catch us right away.
- Let's run! - No, we won't make it!
I killed their leader, so that might buy us some time.
What did you just say?
I killed their leader.
That will unsettle them for sure.
So that helps our chances.
Get all men ready to fight, and let's get in touch with independence fighters.
Fight?!
How do you fight with those people?
Can't you contact the movement? Can you?
- If we do contact them, will they come? - Even so, when will that happen?
It'd take a few days just to go there and back.
Then, should we just sit here and do nothing?
What else, should we fight?
Let's at least prepare to leave. Why sit here and talk?
Leave and go where?
He even killed their leader.
They'll be thirsty for revenge, and follow us all the way to hell.
It's been ten years since I left my hometown. We worked ten years for this land.
Where else am I supposed to go?
What's the point of having land when you're dead?
Ohh Ohh... You just talk back?
- Did he really kill their leader? - Yes. Doesn't that make things even worse?
If that hadn't happened, we could at least have begged them for mercy.
But since they're only after money, maybe if we give it to them...
Didn't he just tell you the Japanese sent them?
So I guess they'll be looking for whomever killer their leader.
It's not something anyone could be proud of,
but this village must be protected.
We caught him for you, so please spare us.

- August 15, 1945 - Seodaemun Detention Center
What is it?
What's going on?
I don't know, either. Let's go check with our superior.
Gyeongrim, get up.
This doesn't feel right. Something must be up.
All the guards left.
