My apologies. Let us serve you on the 1st floor.
A sudden visit from Governor-General Terauchi.
Sontag Hotel. Gyeongseong, 1911
Go downstairs. -Yes, sir.
Governor-General Terauchi!
Count Lee Wan-yong! Let's eat first!
How is your health?
Japanese medicine seems to suit me.
Is that so?
Kang In-guk. -Yes, sir.
A business card in gold?
Yes, sir. -His face tells me...
...it's not going to be free.
Your Excellency!
Since the poor peninsula of Korea merged with Japan...
...we're become a vibrant industrial economy.
If you could grant me the gold ore mining rights in this peninsula...
...I'd be most grateful.
Operator!
Are you hurt?
I will take you to safety!
The Governor-General is in danger!
I will protect you for sure!
The Governor-General is critically injured!
Doctor, that's enough.
You should be lying down!
How is the Governor-General?
The shock has left him a bit loopy.
But he remembers me?
This is what he said. "Kang In-guk is my friend."
"Have my soldiers protect him as they would me."
What does that mean?
-It means I can smell money! That's right!
My twins' path to success has been cleared.
Clear two paths. Since they're twins!
What do you wish to ask?
Did you reveal today's meeting to anyone?
No. -Not even to your wife?
Of course not.
Did you say anything? About today's meeting?
To whom? -The wet nurse, or anyone.
Why don't you suspect me?
Why you?
Today, I was almost killed myself!
Would that be so wrong? -What?
Japan conquered us without even a fight.
Don't we deserve better?
We were just handed over. By someone like you.
Go inform on me. I'll say we planned it together.
Don't be scared. Tonight I'll take him away.
To where? -Manchuria.
Close the door.
Ma'am, where are you going so late at night?
To visit my relatives in Gaeseong.
Darling, won't it be a bit much for the twins?
We should raise them strong.
Please enjoy yourselves.
Follow those two carriages, quietly.
And kill all of them.
Your wife too?
-Bring back my two daughters.
Go.
Split up!
Get down.
Throw away your gun!
Don't move! Police!
I'm sorry, ma'am.
Close your eyes.
Why should I close my eyes for you?
Assassination
Attempted murder in 1911 of the Governor-General and Lee Wan-yong!
But it's not in the paper.
Only the jail break of Yem Sek-jin. They controlled the news, that's why.
They captured Yem and he escaped 10 days later.
The first man ever to escape Central Police Station.
He was a legend.
He had two bullet holes in him so he plugged them with his fingers...
...and rode to Manchuria.
How long were you with Yem?
About 15 years?
We both served under Kim Koo....
Kim made Yem a police chief
...so Yem punished most of the spies.
He was quite driven.
But then why did Yem try to kill you in Shanghai?
Back then, I was a Japanese spy.
The Shanghai Advance, initiated on January 28, 1932...
...defeated the army in the hands of foreign forces.
The need to secure peace in Asia justified the war.
Who are you?
Sorry.
In Gyeongseong, in the spirit of loyal patriotism...
...Kang In-kook donated 10 airplanes to the Japanese Imperial Army.
Korea Garrison Commander Mamoru then gave a rousing speech.
Captain!
There's a side door!
You go that way.
You try over there.
Hangzhou
Turn back, we're fishing here!
They say the Provisional Government of Korea is here.
Who are you?
Go tell him. I'm Kim Won-bong from Miryang.
Kim Won-bong! Long time no see.
I couldn't attend your wedding, sorry.
Why'd you hold it in Beijing? Are you mad at me?
Well, I couldn't attend your wife's funeral.
We are both in hiding, let's not fret over such things.
Quite cozy in here.
After fleeing from Shanghai, we made do with what we had.
Still, we have all we need.
The legislature. The judiciary.
The executive branch is eating.
Then, shall we go in?
You two know each other? -Of course.
Good to see you're still alive.
Just barely.
But what is all this about, sir?
We need some guns fired in Gyeongseong.
Gather these people.
Good work.
Let's try to cooperate like this.
Who is the target?
You can read about it in the papers later.
But why use them instead of our members?
Because the Japanese don't know their faces.
Do only the three of us know about this operation?
The hunchback knows a bit. Has he been caught?
He's on the wanted list.
The woman's sentenced to death.
Ahn Okyun! Sniper, 3rd Unit, Korea Independence Army.
Jailed for shooting her superior,
but they'll hand her over.
Duk-sam! He learned explosives from a Hungarian...
...but was caught and jailed for selling substandard product.
This is Chu Sang-ok. Also called Big Gun.
A bit indolent, but he trained in the Military School for Independence.
They're both in the same jail.
Bring all three to Shanghai.
10am, last day of October. Hotel Mirabeau.
But have they all agreed?
Well, it's your job to convince them.
What was that sound?
Oh no!
What was that?
What was that sound?
I didn't hear anything.
Don't mind me. -Don't move.
I've got a cold, don't come in!
How can you come out?
Got me worked up in a sweat.
Bro, can you take me with you?
I've come to respect you, these two months.
What do you think you're doing? -Shut up, you!
Why won't this open?
Duk-sam! -Yes?
Duk-sam is in one of those cells.
Chu Sang-ok. You open it from this side.
Is that so?
Thank you very much.
Who do they want us to rub out?
I don't know, I just follow orders.
Go with this guy and meet Kim Won-bong. At Hotel Mirabeau in Shanghai.
-Kim Won-bong wants to see me?
That's quite an honour.
I don't understand, why me?
Because I've no wife or kids?
This anti-Japanese resistance movement...
...I've been riled up about it for 3-4 years.
But not on an empty stomach. They should pay something.
You trained at the Military School?
You signed an oath in blood at graduation?
Me?
Did I? After ten years, I barely remember.
Before the leaves fall......
-I remember! I wrote that line
...and then had a sudden attack of anaemia.
Before the leaves fall, I want to cross...
...the Yalu River with my gun.
That's an impressive oath.
Let's cross the river, okay?
I'll ask Kim Won-bong for the money.
Korean Independence Army Post, Manchuria
Men coming!
Greetings.
We request a transfer of Corporal Ahn Ok-yun.
Where's the General? -He's scouting now.
An offensive is planned at dawn. This way.
But tell me. Why did Ahn Ok-yun shoot that officer?
She shot him by accident.
She was wrongly convicted. -I see.
Order of Special Release Corporal Ahn Okyun...
...to be transferred to Provisional Government.
Miss Corporal, come out. This is Captain Yem.
MY gun.
Do you have bad eyesight?
A bit.
Does that make you nervous?
I heard you took part in a few assassinations.
I don't remember.
Where am I going?
Gyeongseong.
-That's good. Always wanted to go there.
-Thanks.
Why do you want to go there?
Well, try some coffee. Find a lover.
But the work comes first, Captain Yem. Shall we go?
-Yes.
Okyun, stay healthy!
Be sure to come back alive.
You just focus on the battle.
I'll be back. -Bye, Okyun!
Goodbye.
Blow out the light!
What are you doing? -The battle's supposed to...
...start at dawn. I need to warn them.
No.
Looks like the battle's starting.
We need to leave quietly.
I can't leave like this. I'll just get the machine guns.
Alright. Just two machine guns.
Thank you.
It's too dark.
When the battle starts, they set off flares.
It's too far off.
Him'? WOW?
About that. Come on, the flare.
You really shot that officer by accident?
Says who? It was on purpose.
We picked the right person. Let's go.
Japanese Consulate, Shanghai
Korean clans never work together.
But Kim Koo and Kim Won-bong...
...plan a joint assassination in Gyeongseong?
Where'd you hear that? -I didn't hear it.
I'm their messenger.
I handed over the money.
Kim Koo thinks I skimmed off the top.
So did you?
A little bit.
How much will you pay for this tip?
What should we do?
Who's the target? -I don't know that.
If it's true, we'll pay.
Check the info first. -Yes, sir!
French Concession, Shanghai
So we part ways here? -Yes, unfortunately.
Indeed.
-Take care of yourself.
Sure.
Let's g0!
Hotel Mirabeau
I'm sorry. -Learn some Japanese!
I've reserved a room.
Those Japanese gangsters on the wanted list are here.
Coffee for me too.
Enjoy.
The books say it tastes good.
It's bitter.
You need to add sugar.
Attention everyone!
Bonjour! I'm Inspector Melville.
Please show me your ID.
Everyone take out your ID!
Be careful, they put a price on your head!
Identification! -I'm French. I'm staying here.
Alright.
What are you doing?
Compatriots should help each other.
Hey! Identification.
Identification?
Honey, is our ID in the room?
Are you two married?
Yes, he's my husband.
Do you just let Japanese gangsters come and go here?
Of course not. -Okay, back to the post.
Yes, sir.
May I ask your name? -Why do you want to know?
Shame to leave without learning my wife's name.
Follow them.
Myung-woo!
-So what's she like?
You should see her shoot.
We ran into some Japanese soldiers...
...she killed four men with four bullets, right?
This operation got to be successful.
Yes, I need to burn her photo. -Now? Should I do it?
No, I need to use the toilet.
You guys eat.
Hey, Myung Woo Order noodles for me.
Another bowl!
Duk-sam, Chu Sang-ok and Ahn Okyun.
Tomorrow at 10am...
...they'll meet Kim Won-bong at Hotel Mirabeau.
Oh, I'll catch a big fish.
We'll catch him together. And get rich together.
Can we kill these three?
Everyone dies someday. -Very well.
Did you do martial arts?
Tennis.
Tennis. That's a martial art?
-You haven't heard of it.
Whack a guy like this and he'll be spitting blood.
But how old are you anyway?
I was born in 1900.
I'm from the 1800's.
Hold on.
Mirabeau is this way, so that way is a long life.
Hey! Come back!
You scoundrel. Are you even human?
Don't you want your name in the history books?
What nonsense. I want to live a long life.
You just did Tennis?
You're running away? Hey, get back here!
We're being followed. Don't look!
One man block the car, one man take the driver.
Go!
Why are you following us?
Aren't you going to Mirabeau? Duk-sam?
Chu Sang-ck.
How come everywhere we go, people know our names?
Who are you? -I'm Kim Won-bong.
Who are you? -I'm...
Not so strong, are you?
Comrade Duk-sam is about to lose his thing.
Wait! I said, wait!
This one doesn't look so strong, either.
Introduce yourselves. Corporal Ahn Okyun.
This is Duk-sam. That's Chu Sang-ok.
Weren't we meeting at 10am?
You know the saying. A smart rabbit digs three tunnels.
Shall we open the bag?
Sir, call me Big Gun from now on.
So, who do we have to kill?
Take out the photos.
After General Kim's victory in Qingshanli...
...Japanese troops took revenge on...
...Koreans living in Manchuria.
They killed every man, woman or child they saw.
Comrade Ahn, you were there?
My mother passed away after being shot.
She was fortunate.
The others were ripped open with knives...
...beaten to death with clubs, strangled...
...burned in fires, buried alive...
...even boiled in cauldrons.
Over 27 days, 3,469 people died.
The 19th division behind the massacre...
...was led by Kawaguchi Mamoru.
He heads the Korea garrison, and leaves soon for Japan.
Let's not send him back alive. -For sure.
Kang In-guk, the leading pro-Japanese lapdog...
...is our second target.
Kang In-guk and Kawaguchi...
...will inspect the airplane factory on November 7.
That's when you kill them.
Can we kill commoners when we come into unavoidable circumstances?
No, you can't.
How about Japanese commoners?
Commoners are innocent.
Furthermore, we can control who we shoot.
Then, how about taking a photo?
For the historical record.
Comrade Ahn, you can change clothes.
We can't fight on an empty stomach.
Captain Yem said you would cover our compensation.
What's with you? -He did.
Did Captain Yem say that?
Comrades. I'm sorry, but...
...do you happen to have any money?
Money?
You win!
No luck.
Bye.
Hawaii Pistol is coming in 5 minutes?
Hawaii Pistol? -He's coming here?
Hey, what's going on? -I'm not sure.
Get the car ready. -Yes, boss.
Hey, draw your guns.
Help.
Come here!
Sir! If you open a window, you'll die!
There's a price on the Japanese gangsters.
Is that Hawaii Pistol? -They say he's Korean.
No one's seen his face. -He came from Hawaii and...
...will kill anyone for $300. He's a piece of trash.
Let's go get our cash, sir.
Let's take our photo. -Yes.
Sir! Thank you for choosing me.
But who is the leader? -Ahn Okyun.
Why me?
You should find the reason yourself.
Anyone uncomfortable with a female captain?
I am. -Then let me ask.
Why were you convicted?
For shooting my superior. -You be captain, then.
Leave before sunrise. It's a long way to Gyeongseong.
After arriving, connect with the madam at Cafe Anemone.
Cafe Anemone. Smile. Look happy.
Say, "Long Live Korea!"
Long Live Korea!
Get me some water.
Captain! -It won't kill you.
Did they depart safely? -Yes. Let's go, sir.
I'll finish this cigarette.
The room is empty. I think they already left.
That can't be!
Send this message. -Yes, sir.
Out of the way!
Hotel Mirabeau operation fail.
Request assassination target.
Kang In-guk. Commander of the Korea garrison. November 7.
Myeong Woo? yes?
Where is Captain Yem?
Downstairs. Should I call him?
No. Can I borrow your gun?
Shall I load it?
No need.
Captain Yem.
Oh, hello sir! You weren't sleeping?
I wish I could.
Sasaki raided the Mirabeau, so we have a leak?
Who could have done that?
I like you.
A born resistance fighter.
At times a scholar and at times a gangster.
Why this, all of a sudden?
You still think about it? Your time in the prison?
Yes, I do.
What did you think as you were waiting to be shot?
What if you didn't escape from the police station...
...but you agreed to become a spy?
If you'd begged Sasaki to spare you?
If so? Then I'll die right now.
I have truly respected you.
Let's say none of this ever happened.
How can you suspect me?
It could be someone at the Hotel!
I suppose it could.
Sir, should I go tomorrow and interrogate the hotel staff?
Go to Shanghai tomorrow, then.
Kim Koo suspects me.
DR! you search Y em's home'?
We found a wireless telegraph and codebook.
Was there money? -Yes. We left it there for now.
If Yem meets Sasaki in Shanghai tomorrow...
...he's a spy for sure.
If he's a spy, kill him.
Passengers on the train from China...
Oh, there she is. -A new bargirl?
She's my niece.
Thanks for your help. Good to see you!
Keep your composure.
Thanks you two for delivering the alcohol.
This way, right?
Take off your hat.
-This is the 6pm notice.
Everyone turn and salute the nearest flag.
Thank you for coming all the way to here.
It is hard to get weapons here in Gyeongseong.
Where does this lead to?
There's a sewer tunnel right behind it.
So when do we start?
Kang In-guk's daughter Mitsuko has returned from Tokyo.
The garrison leader's son is also coming to Gyeongseong.
In 5 days, the two families...
...will have breakfast at Kang's...
...and visit the factory.
We need to hit the targets on their way to Gyeongseong Station.
Traffic slows around here, let's get them then.
Will they have a military escort?
Yes, soldiers stationed at every corner.
So we should wage war in the mouth of the army?
What's this? -A gasoline store.
Are there others on the way to Gyeongseong Station?
No.
Then if Kawaguchi and Kang need to stop for gasoline?
They'd turn left and come in here.
The soldiers can't leave their posts...
...so we'll just need to face their guards.
Let's seize the gasoline store and wait.
Duk-sam, ride past on a bike...
...and bomb the car.
Big Gun and I will shoot the targets and guards.
We'll finish in 5 minutes and come back alive.
What's our escape plan? -That night you take the train...
...to lncheon.
Then board the Irish ferry for Shanghai at 23:00.
What's 23:00?
I thought the clock went up to 12?
They lengthened it recently.
At first, I took you for a person of average intelligence...
...but that plan's idiotic. Why would they come get gas?
Someone will make them come. -Who?
Us.
I should've run when I had the chance.
Oh, I want to get drunk.
You should. We're in a bar, right?
It's too long since I've heard music.
My life is nothing but hardship.
Gyeongseong is colder than Shanghai.
No, I'm fine.
Wow, look at our captain!
Have a drink.
Madam, I hear Gyeongseong's gone decadent?
Let's have a dance!
Do you know how to dance?
You just have to grab on and shake.
Nice dancing!
A Japanese punk? -A Japanese punk named Kimura.
I support Korean independence.
I've worked for her for 10 years.
Really? We could all die tomorrow.
Let's dance!
When will you kill Kim Koo?
I need an exit plan before I can kill him.
Wait a bit.
The information? -November 7, two targets.
Kawaguchi Mamoru and Kang In-guk.
Oh, real bigwigs.
How many people to kill? -Three.
Nationality? -Korean.
Korea's gone from the map.
They're all Cubans, Americans, Mexicans, Chinese now.
So, how much should I charge for three?
I'd rather talk to Hawaii Pistol, not you.
I don't look like Hawaii Pistol?
Why not?
Location?
Gyeongseong.
SYeongseong? That's far.
But who are you anyway?
Independence fighters.
Ah, I hate getting mixed up with those beggars here.
Hey! Let me hear your voice. Don't hide like a coward.
$2000 per person! Another $1000 each at the end.
But if you fail... -Have you gone mad?
If you see his face, you die!
And if we fail? What then?
If you fail, it won't end with you returning the cash.
I'll forget your face. Just get it done by Nov. 7.
An independence fighter?
Who's your superior?
Why do you care? You get the money anyway.
Why do these three Koreans need to die?
They are spies for Japan.
Why? You know them?
A vagabond like me doesn't know anyone.
See you in 10 days.
Something doesn't feel right.
Let's not meet for a while.
They're blaming me for losing Kim Won-bong.
Fools. I'll go to the office and contact Gyeongseong...
Captain, give me your gun! -Myung-woo! Se-gwang!
Give me your gun! -Listen to me, will you?
Give me your gun, Captain! -Myung-woo!
I'll explain everything. Just listen to me!
Myeong Woo! Who sent you?
Was it Kim Koo?
Did he order you to kill me?
MYung-woo. MYung-woo.
The KIP, KRP, JRP, KHC, KCP. 30 independence factions...
...all fighting with each other.
All with different cash sources. That's why they can't cooperate.
Everyone's a thief. Everyone!
And how come Kim Koo tried to kill me?
I even told him I respected him!
Sir!
Mr. Yem. We can't really protect you anymore.
I'm worthless now, is that it?
But there's still one place where I fetch a good price.
Where's that?
Gyeongseong.
You know what that pretty bird's name is?
"Money Girl."
But you're making me worried.
You keep staring at Money Girl's photo.
Time for you to get married?
I'm more worried that you can't speak Japanese.
Where are you travelling to? -Gyeongseong. ls there a problem?
Officers may sit in the VIP compartment.
This way.
If you're navy, you're coming from Shanghai?
What were your duties in Shanghai? -Killing people.
I'm with Kwantung Army, 23rd Division.
Lieutenant Kawaguchi. -2nd Lieutenant Tanaka.
This is 1st Lieutenant Nakamura.
Nakamura?
Was he injured while fighting Koreans?
Did you kill many Koreans?
Yes.
Sir, did you kill many?
What's your business in Gyeongseong?
It's a secret operation.
I'm going to get married.
To a Korean woman.
Then, let's keep it a secret from her.
I'll see you later, Tanaka.
It was a pleasure. -Take care.
If I see that punk again, I'll rip out his guts.
Buddy, where in this big city shall we start?
As usual, the rickshaw company.
Hey, what are you doing?
What's happening here? -Speak Korean, you!
People who get off at Gyeongseong Station...
...they all take your rickshaws, right?
Yes, right. -That's why we're here.
This guy knows! -I don't know the men.
But this lady, she arrived in Gyeongseong a few days ago?
Yes. Her name is...
Thank you. Her name is Mitsuko.
The daughter of Mr. Kang In-guk.
Kang In-guk's daughter Mitsuko.
Thank you, compatriots!
But what unit are...
The motorbike outside, it's yours?
Yes. -Thanks for lending it.
Wait!
You think I'm building a factory to make bicycles?
Of course not.
Believe me, within 10 years there will be war.
Then I'll make money and acquire a rank.
What's going on? -Oh, I'm so sorry.
I'm sorry. It was our fault. -You, fool!
My apologies.
I'll get it repaired for you.
Hurry UP!
Get it done today. -I will.
Buy some new glasses, at the department store.
Right now, in the first floor hall...
...a fashion show is taking place highlighting the newest Tokyo trends.
Perfume from Japan...
What? -it's on sale.
Where do they sell glasses?
Over there.
Thanks.
Is that clear? -Yes.
Not this one? -That's correct.
It will be ready. Come back tomorrow.
You can't do it today? -Then write down your address.
Why my address? -We run a...
...late-night delivery service.
It suits you perfectly.
We received this one piece from Tokyo yesterday.
This is a dilemma.
It's twice as expensive as the department store in Tokyo.
But I wouldn't want another woman wearing it.
Mitsuko, what's wrong?
Nothing. Pay for this.
It's a special sale.
Sorry!
Why? -I made you angry just before.
Kawaguchi. Let's end our date for today.
Goodbye.
What happened?
Papa?
-He's not home. Shall I put on some tea?
-No.
Mister!
Can I have a word with you? We've got a real complication here.
Don't sit like that. You're about to get married.
It's a marriage of convenience.
I know, it's how the world works.
It's a marriage of lavish benefits.
A question!
When I was little, my twin sister died?
After being kidnapped by a robber, right?
Yes, that's right.
But she didn't die then.
Because I saw her today!
This isn't the first time you've said that.
Alright, so where was it you saw her?
The department store.
For now, keep it secret from Papa, okay?
Is this the home of Kang In-guk?
-Yes, it is.
Wow, American cars are known for sturdy fenders.
We'll replace this and give the car a look over.
Bring me some cold water.
Sure, we'll leave it to you. -Okay.
God, look at that.
So Money Girl is his daughter?
She didn't look rich. -Pardon?
Nothing, keep watching.
What's this? -You asked for water...
Oh, water!
No other problems with the car. -Very well.
We got lucky, sir.
They fell into our laps.
I'll go ahead. I'll pick up my Thompson from the cafe.
You follow that car and check the location.
I'll start with this guy here.
Sure.
Hello.
Did this girl stop by today?
The perfume seller directed me here.
Here. We plan to deliver her glasses tonight.
Give me two, please.
Goodbye.
Hey, can I have a light?
Sure.
Thanks.
I guess you're heading there too?
To the famous pork restaurant? -Yes.
You know why Korean pork tastes so good these days?
Not sure.
They castrate them all.
I learned it in agricultural school.
Male pigs are hard to control.
But if you cut off theirs, they get real tame.
The meat gets nice and tender too.
Is that so?
This way, here.
But you know I bet the pigs probably want to keep theirs.
Most likely.
The Japanese...
...it's like they're cutting off Koreans'.
What I mean is, there's no pork restaurant down there.
If you get my meaning.
Who are you? -You don't need to know.
Is that so? I understand!
All's quiet with the police,
so I don't think he's caught.
That scoundrel. What is he doing?
Did he really run off?
Anyway, here are your boat tickets for tomorrow.
What do we do now, Captain?
Have to go through with it.
There's no one to pump gas.
I'll pump the gas. This is the final stop, Gyeongseong Station.
That was delicious.
You're too kind. -Mitsuko cooked it herself.
Is that so?
Let me use your phone. -What for?
An urgent message for the police.
Lieutenant Kawaguchi!
The police request you to cancel your trip.
They've been informed of an assassination plot.
Commander, shall we cancel?
No. People will mock us.
It's hardly the first plot to kill me.
Let's g0!
Shall we change cars?
Hello. -Quiet!
Who are you? -Go inside!
What are those people doing?
The guy I shot yesterday was acting odd too.
You can't read someone's character in their face.
Let's kill the others, get our $9000...
Go to Hawaii.
Buddy, you take the bicycle.
Everyone! Attention!
We are out of gas.
Fill it quickly, and let's go. -Yes, sir.
Welcome!
What are you doing? Move!
They changed cars!
It's that car there!
It's a bomb!
That car!
Look out, it's a grenade!
Start the car!
Let's g0!
Step on it! -Hurry!
Step on it!
Who are you?
What rotten luck.
The Commander? -Only minor wounds.
Kang is unharmed too.
And the culprits?
The two captives are being taken to Central Police Station.
Watch them. None of them shall leave.
They were foiled, thanks to you.
Thank you very much. -No, thank you.
We're fortunate to have a man such as you.
By any chance...
...was the woman next to Kang In-guk...
...his daughter? -Yes, that's Mitsuko.
Who are you?
Why'd you ruin our plot? -I was hired.
To kill you, Mitsuko.
Mitsuko?
Kang In-guk's daughter Mitsuko has returned from Tokyo.
Shut up, you two.
Don't talk to each other.
You must be cold. A shame to kill such a beauty.
What should we do? We need to make him come in here.
Oh, how scary!
A kiss would probably do it.
Are you insane?
I should've killed you back there.
You want to stay in here?
It's not because I like you.
What?
What's going on?
-No key to the handcuffs.
UP there!
Pass them!
Sir! Money Girl!
What are you anyway?
Korean Independence Army. Sniper, 3rd Unit.
Why bring a corpse to the hospital?
Just toss her into a lake. So troublesome.
Doctor, could you take something out of her shoulder?
She's not dead yet?
When will you kill her?
Later. I'm out of bullets.
Out of bullets? You should've told me!
It seems there's a nail in her shoulder.
Send everyone out.
Get out! -You too.
You just need to sterilize and bandage it.
Who were you trying to kill back there?
Commander of the Korean Garrison. National traitor Kang In-guk.
Even after you found out he's your father?
That trend passed a while back.
Once, 8 pro-Japanese collaborators received...
...the rank of baron in Japan. Their sons decided each should kill one of the other's fathers.
People called it the Patricidal Club.
Then...
...do you really think killing those two will bring independence?
In Manchuria...
...if the roof leaked, we didn't fix it.
We'll go home when Korea is liberated, so why bother?
Will killing those two bring independence?
Who knows.
But we need to let them know.
That we're still fighting.
One shouldn't live only for money, like you do.
Did you kill him?
Our comrade, yesterday?
Who sent you?
I don't know his name.
He's missing one finger.
Captain Yem?
He's the one who sent us here.
In life, you know...
Every household has their private tragedies.
You too, sir, I feel your pain...
...spreading through your soul like a forest fire.
Let it go, shoot the girl and let's split.
We should go.
But Buddy...
...before I could shoot her, she escaped to Shanghai.
Unfortunately, we've failed.
Isn't that right, Buddy?
No.
Thank you, doctor. -Yes.
Can't believe this.
There goes our reputation and the river of cash.
Do you see that? -I do.
Get in line.
I said, get in line!
You little ingrate! What's your company?
Who are you? -Answer my question!
What? -What's going on?
Carry on.
-What?
Tanaka! What are you doing there?
Fools.
You inspect an imperial soldier who risked his life...
...fighting in Shanghai?
-What's his name again?
Nakamura? Watanabe?
Kawashima?
Lieutenant Kawaguchi!
We meet again.
What happened to your arm?
This here?
It's nothing.
Did you complete your secret operation?
That is finished.
Then would you serve as a guard at my wedding?
I'm sorry.
I'm deeply sorry. Hey!
Why did you break from the line?
Make everyone turn backward. -Yes, sir!
Turn backward!
So that makes four Koreans you've killed?
Four?
You mean this? I meant 300, not 3.
Visit me here tomorrow. I'll give you the invitation card.
Goodbye then.
Ahn Okyun 23 Ahyeon Street.
Isn't this the man who tried to kill me once?
And saved your life this morning.
Now he wants to sell me information?
How'd an independence fighter end up here?
If you can't bite, you shouldn't bark.
I'll need 100,000 won for this information.
Have the nerve to name your price in front of me?
Three assassins were sent from Shanghai...
...and one of those is identical to your daughter.
Is she the daughter who was kidnapped by the wet nurse?
That woman fired at me and the Commander?
Does the Commander know about this?
I haven't informed him yet.
He must never find out.
I have something to tell you.
I know where she is staying.
I was going to inform you... -Why you!
Our home is in danger and you're just going to watch?
Where'd you come from? Why did you shoot at us?
I heard that I had a twin sister.
You really do look just like me. -Why did you try to kill Daddy?
I came to kill a traitor.
A traitor?
That's why you wanted to kill him?
Everyone lives that way here.
Daddy's a nice man.
Do you really believe that?
Meeting you, really.
I burned that. Wear this instead.
I respect independence fighters too.
But I wish you weren't one.
There's a taxi waiting downstairs.
Let's take it back home.
Daddy will take care of everything, okay?
Why should I go there?
I'm going back to Manchuria.
What's in Manchuria?
My friends.
And mother's grave.
Check if this is Mommy.
That's her. On the left.
-That's the wet nurse.
Mommy's on the right.
You sure you came alone? -Yes.
You stay inside.
I'll take care of this. I'm Kawaguchi's future bride.
You're a frightening man.
First your wife and now your daughter.
I don't know who is she.
Let's say this.
This woman made another attempt to kill you...
...but while apprehending her, she was shot.
There you are, Miss.
Shall I take you back home?
No. -Very well.
Taxi!
Attention!
We're here, Miss.
Welcome back, Miss.
You're not going to your room?
Please put this in my room. You're acting strange.
You don't need to say "please" to me.
Take a rest.
What's gotten into you? Going to get the invitation?
Kawaguchi will die by my hand tomorrow.
Are you some kind of freedom fighter?
What if people hear you killed a Japanese officer for free?
Then the Provisional Government will be pestering you.
They'll be asking you to toss bombs for free.
What will you do then?
If you keep farting, sooner you'll be in trouble.
Come on, sir. Sit down here. -That's why I like you, Buddy.
You know why they castrate pigs?
Why should I care about castrating pigs?
But I do care about your life.
Your mother begged me on her death bed.
Why bring up my mother now?
Don't worry. Go to Shanghai and track down Yem.
I'll follow tomorrow.
News bulletin. Today at 10:07...
Some guy shot me yesterday.
Somethings gone wrong. -Let me borrow the car.
If we leave now for lncheon, you can take the boat.
I'm in this to the end.
Forget the operation. Not in your condition.
It's not about my condition.
I'm a Military School graduate.
Get me my Thompson and the bombs Duk-sam left.
And close the cafe tomorrow, you stay out of sight.
Miss!
What are you doing at this hour?
You'll be married soon.
You mustn't stay up.
Get a good night's sleep.
I will.
Oh, and I found the girl who looks just like you.
Her name's Ahn Okyun.
She ordered glasses at the department store.
Really?
Miss?
Aren't you curious to hear more?
Why are you here instead of Mitsuko?
Operator! Central Police Station.
Hello?
Miss! Mr. Kawaguchi has arrived.
Tanaka! -How do you do?
Have a seat.
Where is the butler? -Haven't seen him all morning.
A cup of tea? -Thank you.
I'm Mitsuko.
Mitsuko.
You have a guest?
Tanaka, from Shanghai. This is my fiancee.
Nice to meet you.
What brings him here today?
He'll be a guard at the wedding...
...postponing his trip to Shanghai.
Shanghai?
I hear you can get good coffee there.
At the Mirabeau?
Do you know it?
Do you speak Korean? -A bit.
I get a lot of abuse for not speaking Korean.
Why didn't you go to Shanghai? -To kill that punk.
What about you?
Where's the girl who should be here?
Dead.
Killed by Kang, who thought it was me.
Go back to Shanghai, this is my job.
What will you do?
I can go to the wedding.
Since I'm the bride.
Aren't you scared?
I am.
Let's speak Japanese.
Here's your invitation.
How's my wife-to-be?
She's so beautiful. I wish her happiness.
Seems like Mr. Tanaka cannot make it tomorrow.
That's true, but...
...since it's an important day for Mitsuko...
...I'll make time.
See you tomorrow.
For his esteemed service to the Great Japanese Empire...
...Yem Sek-jin is named Investigator for the Secret Service.
November 8, 1933.
Chief of Military Police.
Did you find out?
The Wedding's at the department store, tomorrow at noon.
The store will be open but the 2nd floor closed off.
Wait. Don't hang up.
We haven't opened yet, what is it?
So here's the famous Gyeongseong bureau of the Provisional Government.
I heard there were 3 bureaus.
Where are the other two?
I don't know what you're talking about.
Come with us to the police station.
Wait.
Can I get my overcoat?
Good luck and be careful.
It seems this is goodbye.
Congratulations.
Thank you.
Congratulations, Mr. Kang.
I wish the Governor-General could be here.
He must be very busy?
He had to go to Japan.
The Governor-General. He should have come.
Please leave your gun with us.
I've come as Kawaguchi's special guard.
2nd Lt. Tanaka?
This way.
Ladies and gentlemen, please take your seats.
I'll read a message from Governor-General Ugaki.
"Kawaguchi Shunsuke and Mitsuko...
...I congratulate you on your wedding.
Congratulations to Commander Kawaguchi...
...and Mr. Kang In-guk.
Marriage is a new beginning.
May you both rely on each other..."
Get my clothes.
MY gun!
Follow me! -Enter the groom!
Why are you here?
Why has an independence fighter come here?
I told you.
If you fail, it won't end with you returning the money.
Take him to the head office.
Are you nervous?
What are you thinking, Mitsuko?
Why'd you kill my sister from Manchuria?
Enter the bride!
The couple's fathers will now bow to each other.
Who are you?
What are you doing?
A bomb! Fall back!
How many are there? -One man with a machine gun.
Up the main staircase!
Operator! Connect me to the police!
Comrade Chu Sang-om!
Captain Yem? -Big Gun!
Headquarters! Send reinforcements!
Who are you?
Captain!
Where's my daughter Mitsuko?
You killed her.
With those hands. My mother too.
I'm sorry.
It was to protect our family.
There's no more family now.
It was for our people.
The ignorant Korean people needed to eat.
Anyway, I'm sorry.
Sorry.
The Patricidal Club, you know what happened to them?
Some were caught, some committed suicide.
And some cowards like me became contractors in Shanghai.
I don't want you to live with that burden.
Go back.
To the 3rd Unit, Korea Independence Army.
Let's leave first.
You're coming with us.
Comrade Big Gun! -Captain!
The operation's a success?
Yes.
You look pretty in that.
Go, I'll see you downstairs.
Go on.
Are you the woman Mitsuko saw?
One more word and you die.
Okay-
The Commander is dead! -Mr. Kang too!
Kawaguchi, Mitsuko, are you okay?
Yes. - I'll take them.
Hurry to the hospital.
The bride and groom have been kidnapped!
There!
Don't shoot! There are hostages!
Don't shoot, the Commander's son is a hostage.
We surrounded them first.
Sir! I'm a bit late. Please get in.
You really are something.
Don't shoot! Stand by!
Money Girl, good to see you!
Turn the car around.
Fire! Emergency! Attack on the wedding hall.
Soldiers, mobilize!
They're fleeing the wedding hall.
Search for a black car going towards Myeong-dong.
There's no way out.
There's a tunnel in the cafe. -Let's go.
Euljiro is blocked. Both alleys are blocked.
Heading for Cafe Anemone.
There's a tunnel behind the wall downstairs.
Sir, Yem is coming!
Hey, want to talk?
Yem is... - I'll buy us some time.
You think you're really something?
In the end, you're just like me.
Did somebody pay you more? -No.
I'm not a whore like you.
If you're going to sell out, get a high price.
Release the hostages first and come out.
I'll take care of everything afterwards.
One hostage first.
10 minutes later, I'll come out with the other.
Run, Yem! Life is short.
Right. Life is short.
Find out if there's another passage from this cafe.
Yes, sir.
There's no hope. Surrender.
Kawaguchi. What did I tell you before?
One more word and you die.
Sorry!
You go out the front. I'll take the dirty road with him.
You're Mitsuko. They think you're a hostage.
Alone?
I don't think you'll help our business, right, Buddy?
Yeah, we can't get involved with independence fighters.
What are you doing? Keep hacking.
Right, we need to go.
Money Girl!
Don't forget us!
No!
Why not?
We'll meet in Shanghai.
At Mirabeau.
Can we meet again?
Of course.
We're husband and wife there.
Even if I don't know your name. -My name is...
...Ahn Okyun.
Go out and don't look at Yem, go straight home.
We'll send out the other hostage in 10 mins.
Buddy! I'll do it.
Here, get in.
We need to break in even if it can hurt Kawaguchi. Get in. Yes, sir!
The district office says there's a passage in there leading to Cheonggye stream.
Let's go to Cheonggye stream.
Kawaguchi is dead!
Can't they wait 10 mins?
We should visit Hawaii before we die, right?
Of course. Women there walk around with their clothes off.
Really? Why? -Because it's hot.
Because it's hot.
Sounds like paradise.
No Japanese army. Women with no clothes.
Sorry Buddy, I should have listened to you.
Actually, I want to keep mine too.
Let's go. -Okay.
Today Japan declared its formal
surrender aboard the USS Missouri.
The ceremony in Tokyo Bay...
...was held by the head of Japan's army and General MacArthur.
Today is Sunday, September 2, 1945.
Foreign Minister Shigemisu Mamoru has arrived.
There he is.
He was wounded in an assassination attempt by Korean patriot Yun Bong-gil in Shanghai.
The Japanese war of aggression...
...which inflicted such ghastly damage to the people of Asia and the world, is finally over.
Is that the last donation we received?
It's been over 10 years. Money and info about the Governor-General.
I'd like to meet this person. -Need to know who it is first.
Why so glum? It's liberation.
It is liberation. But so many people died.
Choi Soo-bong, Na Seok-ju...
“Duk-sam, Chu Sang-ck.
Stop. -People will forget them, right?
I'm sorry.
No, it's me who's sorry.
I'm sorry.
I am sorry.
Let's go home!
September 27, 1949.
The trial regarding crimes against the nation will now open.
Prosecutor, you may speak.
The defendant is accused...
...under relevant laws of acting as a spy...
...and of committing malign acts while a member of the police.
Defendant, state your name, age and position.
Age 62, Yem Sek-jin.
Currently a Republic of Korea policeman.
What is your personal stance on the Law of Anti-National Crimes?
For the sake of history and social justice...
...I think it is right.
But I believe it is a mistake that I sit here...
...due to a single anonymous letter.
What is your basis for such thoughts?
Everything I've ever done was for the sake of liberation.
We call a witness to testify that Yem informed Japan...
...of three independence fighters plotting to assassinate...
...Kawaguchi Mamoru and Kang In-guk in 1933.
Please show in the witness.
Just a moment.
Defendant! Put out your cigarette.
Stop smoking you traitor!
Defendant! Put on your clothes!
The public will be barred from further hearings!
Six Japanese bullets have entered this body.
In 1911, I was shot during my attack...
...on the Governor-General. It left two holes.
This is from 1922 in Shanghai, this from 1927 in Khabarovsk.
1932, the ltsumoho Bombing.
Next to my heart, 1933!
You say I sold three comrades...
...but I chose them myself!
Can you understand what those youth felt?
No, you can't!
Or how I felt, sending them off!
It was a march of resistance...
...in the face of death, your honour!
That is all.
The witness is dead!
Due to a lack of evidence, the charges levelled...
...against defendant Yem Sek-jin...
...are formally dismissed.
He gets a 20,000 won fine for contempt of court.
Congratulations.
Attention, salute! Congratulations, sir!
I will drive you home.
No, no. It's a beautiful world.
I'd like to walk.
Then I'll join you. -You'll disturb my solitude!
Yes, sir.
Let's go.
Hello.
I'll take this.
This too.
Mitsuko?
Myeong Woo?
Ahn Okyun?
Why'd you sell your comrades?
I didn't know.
I didn't know we'd be liberated.
Would I have, if I knew?
Myung-woo!
My mission from 16 years ago.
"If Yem is a spy, kill him"
ls now fulfilled.
Say, "Long Live Korea!"
Long Live Korea!
Money Girl!
Don't forget us.
