Capital Scandal Final Episode 16
From now on, I'm the leader.
This is the only way....
For us to escape from this place.
If you're thinking of dying,
Then die in front of your comrades.
Die in action with dignity.
You know what I mean, right?
What a waste! And so maddening.
Actually, I could have executed you in a better manner,
Because the last target of our 7 assassinations was to be you.
I had fun last night,
I didn't think you'd fall into my trap so easily.
I was surprised.
Now....
Go well.
I'm sorry.
I'm leaving you with another grief.
Even so, please live on.
You must live on.
You must.....
Become happy.

Have the search in the Ae Mool Dan warehouse been completed?
We didn't find any more weapons.
It is likely they transferred them to another location for another incident.
Anyway, search the vicinity carefully.
Understand?
Yes.
-Sergeant Kim -Yes?
Release the news to the public that the leader of Ae Mool Dan is dead.
Let's calm the nerves of the public and stop further rumors.
Restoring the reputation of the Japanese police force is of utmost importance.
To show the public the consequence of all those who rebel against the Japanese police,
Go ahead and publish the photograph of the Ae Mool Dan leader.
Do you understand?
Yes.
I'm going to make a report at the Governor's office.
You all wait here for my orders.
Young Ran!
Yeo Kyung unni,
How did you find out?
After the Jungro police notified me, I immediately informed unni.
Where is Song Joo and the others?
Did you see them?
Officer Yamashita!
Ah! Those from the courtesan house.
Go in and identify the bodies.
If it is Cha Song Joo and Cho Keun Duk,
then sign on the claim form, And take them away.
Wait a minute, officer.
Did you say bodies?
Who.....
Has died?
I was told they got arrested.
That's what they told me on the phone.
It seems you spent the night with Cha Song Joo.
So this is your undercover investigation?
She was the one who first suggested it.
There's no need for me to refuse, right?
I'll fall for her seduction first,
Then I'll look for opportunity to get information, that was what I thought.
After so much effort, I managed to close in on Ae Mool Dan,
But right at that moment, you had to attack.
How was it?
How does it feel like fooling around with the courtesan?
Did you take as much initiative as the Ae Mool Dan leader in bed too?
What an idiot!
A staff from the Governor's security force was taken as a hostage.
You're a disgrace to the Governor's office.
This is not something you can get over just by writing an investigation report.
If I wasn't left out from the investigation,
This wouldn't have happened.
If I had been informed earlier,
We could have caught the Ae Mool Dan leader alive.
Under such circumstances, you still feel so great about yourself.
Her grave.....
I'm thinking of doing without.
Let's just scatter her cremated remains.
Since she had such a difficult life,
After her death, she should wander all over.
Both of them have no family,
We are the only ones to send them off.
She mentioned that she met someone she had dearly to meet again in this life,
She was so happy.
Her heart ached for you when I was hard on you earlier,
And she wanted me to forgive you.
Then she cried for the very first time,
Instead of you,
She wanted me to direct my anger at those who brought you to this current state.
She wanted me to join them in turning that anger into action.
When she heard you laughed heartily for the first time,
She was so happy when she found out.
You know it too,
Song Joo really liked you a lot.
Su Hyun! Lee Su Hyun!
Let me go!
Where do you think you're going?
The Governor's office.
Chosun's Governor's office.
First the Governor,
Then followed by me.
-Are you crazy? -Yes!
Why is it I'm always the one left alive? Why?
I don't even have the freedom to die?
I don't have the freedom to do what I want?
Min hyung,
And that woman too,
Why am I the only one left to live? Why?
Su Hyun,
I hurt so much,
Having to live for the two of them, my future is filled with darkness.
Why must I still consider the future of our country?
My own life is already so tragic,
Why must I consider about others?
Why? Why? Why?
Because this is the path you chose.
Because this is the correct principle you hold onto.
Because also,
We can't lose any more of those who are still alive.
You're just thinking about killing one Governor,
After him, you think there won't be another Governor?
Is that all you want to do?
After doing that, will you be at ease?
How can you give up your principle at this point?
How can you give up so easily your life that they sacrificed theirs for?
Having lived amongst the flowers but yet not experienced any blossom of love,
When you go to the other world now,
live happily.
What should I do?
Until now, I still didn't get the chance to call you “unni” even once.
I'd wanted to send you off smiling,
I'm sorry.
That I couldn't stay with you till the very end.
I'm so sorry.
Go well.
Go well, unni.
Unni!
Orabuhni!
Song Joo unni!
Go well.
Go well, unni.
Unni!
Even so, please live on.
You must live on.
You must.....
Become happy.
The one belonging to Wan is an independence fighter.
The one belonging to me is a political recanter.
Youth is always springtime,
Yet our motherland is still in winter.
I really desire to be passionately in love in my freed country.
Why did you come here?
Didn't I tell you to hide yourself?
Didn't you say they will not be killed?
As long as I gave you information,
They will only be prosecuted and given a lighter sentence, wasn't it?
Didn't you promise that they won't be killed?
You fool!
How could you believe that?
Didn't you promise? You promised! You promised!
Promise?
The one who has betrayed his promise to his comrades is talking to me about promises?
You're blaming me with no qualms?
If you want to blame someone then blame the guy who believed in the forged letters.
Forged letters.....
I'm asking you what's this about forged letters?
Your sister is already dead.
She was killed when she attempted to cross the border back to her hometown.
You stupid fool.
You thought your sister was enjoying a happy life there?
What can women do when they go to the north?
Either they sell their bodies,
Or they die when they try to escape.
It's definitely one of these for sure.
I'm going to kill you.
I'm going to kill you. I'm going to kill you. I'm going to kill you.
Die! Die! Die!
Clean this up quickly.
Yes!
There was no need to kill him, right?
His identity and stance, the other side knows about it already,
So there's no value in keeping him.
That's despicable.
What did you just say?
Despicable?
Yes. Don't you think the Japanese police is too despicable?
You scum!
Do you want to die too?
Wiping out a small fry like that, do you think the world will be upside down?
Who do you think you're glaring at? So arrogant! Arrogant!
Don't ignore me just because I don't have a backing.
When small fries are stepped on, they'll fight back too.
Do you know what we do with small fries who fight back?
We just need to crush them under our feet.
Do you want to die too?
This is premeditated murder!
Jerk!
You scum!
I thought you were smarter amongst the Chosun folks,
so I favored you but to think that you're climbing over my head now.
I won't kill you so as not to waste my bullet. Get lost now!
You jerk, you're suspended.
Don't appear before me again.
Do you understand?
What a pitiful fella!
You don't know the taste of wine and you'd never slept with a woman yet,
Your life is so meaningless.
If only you lasted a little longer,
Maybe then you might get recorded in the history books.
It's true....
How will the history books ever mention us?
They only record the rich, the powerful and the knowledgeable ones.
You did right to die, you jerk!
A world such as this, what's the use of living?
You did well to die.
You're right in dying.
Read this. Read this. Something's happened.
See what happened.
The assassination gang leader has been killed.
You released Cha Song Joo's photo to the press? Really!
Are you crazy?
I'm not clear what's the problem with that.
The problem....you're not clear about that?
Think about it yourself. Think!
Such a beautiful woman as this
was involved in the independence movement and was killed by Japanese police,
This will arouse the people's compassion.
She wasn't even tried yet but she was killed.
Instead.....
We're made to look like the ones on the defensive.
In order to strike at the over-presumptuous Chosun folks....
See this! See this!
She's so beautiful.....
Even when I look at this, my heart aches.....
When those Chosun folks like her see this,
How will they feel? Heartache, of course!
If we wanted to publish it,
We should have done so without the photo, just explain we caught the leader in words.
Use your brains! Isn't it working?
Oh!
And you, Lee Su Hyun!
You were even used as a hostage on site?
The reputation of the Governor's office has fallen from the sky to the ground.
I'm sorry.
Anyway,
Since you were the last target of the 7 must-kill,
That means there won't be anymore assassinations, in other words....
The case of the 7 must-kill has come to an end. Is that what it means?
No, it's not.
No? Then what else?
The on-going case of the 7 must-kill,
Including the unsuccessful attempt on Lee Su Hyun is only 6 cases,
That means there's one more.
Oh, that's true.
Then the assassination warning.....why hasn't it arrived yet?
The post office hasn't sent it here yet?
What's this? Those jerks!
I'm waiting so anxiously, why aren't they coming for me?
Whether I'm killed or you guys are caught, let's end it quickly.
Oh!
Right! And....
The security force was supposed to support the meeting commemorating the Chosun people,
Because of the Governor's personal reasons, that has been postponed indefinitely.
So during this period, your main task is to investigate the whereabouts of Ae Mool Dan's weapons.
Understand?
Sachiko!
Momoru!
I have good news.
It can't be that you're having a party to launch of your autobiography?
Bingo! You're right. That's it.
Oh, bingo!
Honey!
About that launch party, could we just do it within our family.....?
That cannot be done. My father has sent the invitations to his friends.
What's most regretful is not to be able to invite the emperor himself.
Oh, bingo!
Oh yes. My father had a good suggestion.
What is it?
Since we're having a party anyway, then we should make it more meaningful.
An autobiography launch party, Miyuki's farewell party....
Father's welcome party....
A charity party. What do you think?
Good idea, isn't it?
A charity party?
To collect financial support for the war.
To get a signed copy of my autobiography, they have to donate money.
This is for Japan to manage the whole of East Asia,
And for the peace of Asia, that's what I want.
This idea is perfect.
But....
To distribute your autobiography....
3 days!
There are 3 days left, Momoru.
What should I do?
Are you planning to close the shop?
No.
But just in case, I'd better pack up the questionable ones.
I can't put my mother in danger.
Just in case?
What we have left is that last unfinished assignment.
There's a chance we have to sacrifice our lives.
What are you doing?
You don't have to think about that.
And you don't have to pack up too.
Smart little bird,
The tiny flames that are yet to be extinguished in my little heart,
Knocking on my chest that suddenly extended, shouting like this....
Are you buying or are you not?
Reciting poems at that time.....
was that one of your ways of attracting women's attention?
Of course.
That was a poem I had great difficulty in finding.
Occasionally I will miss you as you were before in the past,
If I had lived like I did in the past, would I have been happy?
At least you will not be in danger and difficulty like now.
For that, I must say sorry to you again.
Because of me....
For that, I must say thank you again.
I might have an easier time,
But I will surely not be happy.
Because before my eyes are closed, I'd never be able to put aside the burden of guilt.
It seems love is really a powerful strategy in a revolution.
See!
A relationship that started with a bet is now a real relationship.
The hurts of love is now the hurts of an era.
The anger towards a competitor for love is now directed at the public enemy.
My love for you is now my love for the country too.
Is there a better awakening agent than love itself?
Or a better strategy than that?
On this level of significance, you're to me....
My country, my brother's replacement, my comrade and also my girlfriend.
Goosebumps all coming out, right?
Hey, you're getting thick-skinned.
Good!
You're growing fine.
Let's go.
Where to?
We're being summoned.
Yes, why did he summon us all of a sudden?
What else?
It must be for the last assignment.
Don't tell me we have to pack our bags and run?
Or do we have to bomb the Governor's office?
We won't be asked to do it, right?
Scoundrel! This is not an impossibility.
We lost two comrades at the same time,
The 'thumb' won't take it calmly for sure.
How I miss you!
Song Joo!
Keun Duk!
Song Joo. Keun Duk.
Let's go.
Yes.
Calling off the operation?
What do you mean?
The Chosun commemorative party is being cancelled too.
Then the last assignment,
We're going to give it up?
Give up just like that?
We'll look for another opportune time again.
Not long from now, at the Paradise dance hall, Sachiko is having her autobiography launch party.
Although it's labeled as an autobiography launch party,
It is also a charity gathering for raising war funds.
High-ranking Japanese officials not just from the police,
Even the Japanese Governor may be attending too.
It's most suitable for our last assignment/activity.
That's not a good place.
Why?
Although it's of a smaller scale but it's no different than our last venue.
Firstly, that is an enclosed space,
Also each Japanese official will have at least two bodyguards.
If in case we fail in our attempt,
There is no route for escape.
And the chances of our identifies being revealed is very high.
In terms of strategy, there's no space to maneuver.
But,
Unless the intention is to commit suicide, there's no other way.
The last assignment will be postponed indefinitely.
Inform those from Jirashi too.
Then...
You.....
Don't tell me.....
You won't do that, right?
You're not thinking of a solo act, are you?
Are you crazy? Jerk!
If I wanted to die.....
Do it in front of my comrades.
Dying dignified at the venue is a promise I made with her.
Where I can shed all my burdens,
Where I can face my death without any fear,
That's the place.
That's a despicable excuse.
To die on your own after making a promise to Song Joo, that's a despicable excuse.
To bear the whole burden just because you're the leader, that's a despicable excuse.
Na Yeo Kyung,
What Song Joo means is that a leader must behave like one, fighting with the comrades to the very end.
She means you have to treasure life which is the very weapon to fight against the Japanese.
Do you really not understand what she means?
Well....
We didn't mean to eavesdrop,
But we just didn't have the chance to interrupt.
We're not sure why we always get to eavesdrop, we feel bad about that too.
For being unable to identify you earlier, we're sorry.
Sir!
There's an escape route.
The Paradise dance hall is to be kept a secret so there's a secret tunnel.
That's right!
Why didn't I think of that?
The secret tunnel that only the VIP know of.
I certainly won't let you go alone.
Got that?
Luckily, I and Jirashi folks received invitations to the party.
Invitations for the other members, I can lay my hands on them too.
If not through Sachiko,
I'll get them through Miyuki too.
Putting aside other things first, we can even plant a haze bomb.
We'll be the centre of attention there.
Since we've been patronizing the secret dance hall very frequently, we know the escape route very well.
This is a dangerous matter which may find us sacrificing our lives.
Here, there's no one who doesn't know that.
Regardless of the danger, we're in it together.
Our target for assassination,
Is different from the others in the past.
With the Governor and the high-ranking officials,
Once our identities are revealed,
there's no way we can stay on in the capital,
If we fail,
Not just ourselves but even our families will fall into danger.
Why does our leader always think of the scenario of failures?
I've never given up what I want to do just because I was scared.
We should just think only of success.
Then we can succeed.
You're not the only one who has lost your loved one....
We, too, have lost our two precious comrades.
We're bearing their lives on our shoulders too.
We should all revenge for them together.
What are you doing?
What's up?
I have a request.
Tell me what it is.
You....
I hope you won't take part in this assignment.
What do you mean by that?
You're still not familiar with shooting,
And the police know your face, you're a suspect.
If you show up there.....
Anyway, you'll put all of us in danger.
You're saying I'm incapable?
I can't shoot but I can throw a grenade.
That's not what I meant.
Isn't it what you meant?
You're saying I'm a stumbling block for the comrades, right?
How many times must I say it?
I don't want to see your hands all bloodied.
I don't want you to become a murderer.
I'll decide for my life.
It's not for you to decide.
It's because I don't want to lose you.
You.....
I don't want to lose you, that's why.
I hope you will live, that's why.
I lost the brother I respected,
I lost Song Joo who was my friend, my noona and my comrade.
I may even lose the Su Hyun I finally found back.
If I also lose you then I'll....
I'll not be able to live.
There's no reason for me to live.
So you're asking me to send you off to the battlefront,
Then pour myself a drink and pray for your return?
It may be very tough,
but I'd like you to do that.
I won't.
I can't.
You must live.
No matter what happens, you must live.
I don't want to live on so despicably.
Na Yeo Kyung,
Can we talk for a while?
I'll take her for a bit, just a little.
I have a favor to ask of you.
If you're asking me to keep myself safe, I refuse.
I know I'm still young and immature,
But I don't want to be treated as someone to be protected.
And I don't like special treatment.
I don't want to always receive my comrades' protection,
I just want us to rely on one another as we tread this difficult path.
I was like him too.
Like Wan, I told Cha Song Joo countless times,
I don't want to see you in danger,
I don't want to see your hands bloodied,
I hope you'll be safe.
I said that countless times.
But Song Joo did it.
But Cha Song Joo died.
Na Yeo Kyung,
Assassins are not the only independence fighters.
Na Yeo Kyung, there are things you can do in your own territory.
Getting you to join the organization,
Was for you to take charge of ideology education.
Now there's something you must do for the organization.
What is that?
You make a trip to Manchu on my behalf.
The monies collected for funding our activities,
You have to send it to our headquarter in Manchu to fund the army there.
I hope you'll take on this task.
To Manchu.....am I the only one going?
If there are any survivors after the assignment,
Whether it's me or Wan, we will go with you.
If that is not the case,
Then you should go on your own.
This is a very difficult request for you to survive on your own,
I'm sorry.
How did it go?
Let her be alone for now.
Asking her to survive on her own is harder than asking her to die with us.
Give her some time to think.
This is a very difficult request for you to survive on your own,
I'm sorry.
I have another favor to ask.
On my behalf, please help to handle the 6th assassination target.
I've been observing him for a while and I've been thinking how to handle him.
My way may not be better than yours,
That's the conclusion I came to.
The assassination target is......
Who?
Pro-Japanese police sergeant Lee Kang Gu.
Just handle it on your own way.
The only one who's able to do so is just you.
I am sorry.
I might not come back alive to see you again.
Father, you should wrap up your matters up,
And head somewhere else, that might be better for you.
Although I had no chance to practice my filial piety,
I do hope you will not be caught in a dangerous situation.
Even if I'm coerced or my life is threatened, I will choose to remain here,
I will not give up my businesses here.
I think that should be the stance of a businessman responsible for his enterprise and his workers.
It is the battlefront I choose, to continue fighting this war with the Japanese.
Don't worry for me.
No matter how I will survive.
I will wait for the day when you return after the revolution.
Please keep well.
What do you think you're doing?
You've chosen the same path Min took?
With one independence fighter in the family, we'll suffer for 3 generations, haven't you heard that before?
Putting aside whether it's worthwhile for you to pursue this for the rest of your life,
You should think of your children.
Because of you, the coercion they will receive through no fault of their own.
What will happen to the father you leave behind?
How will I live for the rest of my life?
Please read it.
Have a good time!
Thank you.
Congratulations!
Oh! Sun Woo Wan!
Thanks for coming.
Before you leave for Japan, I should come and bid farewell.
It seems there are many distinguished guests here.
They were all invited by my grandfather.
Your evening gown is just perfect tonight.
Gosh! You're here.
Congratulations!
I only invited you, the best looking one amongst the staff.
Can you dance with Miyuki?
I'm sorry but I don't know how to dance.
What a waste!
It's sad that the Governor can't make it to this party,
But please do a good job ensuring security here.
What are you doing?
Place the case on the table, now!
You're not supposed to bring anything in here, don't you know?
Yes, I do.
I'm the editor of Madam Sachiko's autobiography.
Will you open it only after your brains are opened?
Open it.
Now!
You jerk!
What is it?
Lee Su Hyun!
What are you doing now?
In the name of Ae Mool Dan,
I'm announcing you're the targets of the last assassination of the 7 must-kill.
All the high-ranking Japanese officers, get out here now.
We can't stay here for long.
We must leave before the Japanese police get here.
We'll finish up here. You guys leave first, Wan.
You must survive, Wan!
Leader, you too.
Don't worry about us.
Hyung, you guys be careful too.
This time if you're caught, no one can save you.
Punk!
Get in here.
Ueda san.
It's me.
Are you alright?
Why did you come only now?
I almost died.
You were the one who refused the police/security force.
Why are you still idling here? Go get them!
Get Lee Su Hyun immediately.
Lee Su Hyun?
Lee Su Hyun is the leader of Ae Mool Dan, you stupid fool!
He was right under your eyes yet you never suspected, you dumb ass!
Oh! Go get him!
Every corner of the capital is being checked.
There's no way to leave the Capital now.
We should hide somewhere for now.
Sir!
No, it's Lee Su Hyun!
Lee Su Hyun!
It's Lee Su Hyun!
Get him quick! Stand right there!
The leader of Ae Mool Dan,
The impressive Lee Su Hyun.
Jerk, what do you think you're doing?
You should die.
What did I tell you?
Small fries who get stepped on will fight back one day.
Kang In Ho
I knew you'd be here.
In the name of Ae Mool Dan,
You, the pro-Japanese police sergeant, Lee Kang Gu,
Will be the 6th target of our 7 must-kill.
What's all this?
Keun Duk prepared this for our last assignment.
Wow!
This....is for Song Joo unni.
This....is for In Ho.
This.....is for my father.
Why are you shooting crooked?
Mistakes?
No,
not mistakes.
It's because my father already forgave you.
Then who is next?
Are you next?
My share.....
There's none.
Don't tell me, you forgave me too?
How could that be?
I'm not such a forgiving person.
I won't kill someone who wants to die himself,
I'm not that merciful.
I'm the one who betrayed your father,
I betrayed the entire village,
The one who said your father was the mastermind, that's me.
So won't you kill me now?
I'll tell you something else.
The one who made Kang In Ho go undercover
and forged his sister's letters, that's me too.
How's that?
Aren't you angry?
From the moment you gave up being a man,
In my heart, I've killed you many times over.
Until now, I still cannot forgive you.
But,
Seeing In Ho's grave made me think of something,
At least I should give you one more chance.
A chance to be a man again.
A chance to hang onto your last ounce of goodness.
I don't think you can walk anymore,
I'll let you choose your own path now.
What kind of life you choose for yourself in future,
I'll let you judge that yourself.
If you let me off, you will regret it.
This is.....
what we hope and crave for in this era,
What do you hope for?
I'd like you to think about that.
The bullets are getting fewer, what should we do?
We definitely can't last for long,
Can we use this?
There's no other way except direct confrontation.
If we get out of this, what will we do?
You go and see Yeo Kyung.
Aren't you coming along?
I'll stay here,
But the Lee Su Hyun from the Governor's office has disappeared.
In case, I mean, just in case,
If I die and you live,
Please take care of Na Yeo Kyung for me.
Dream on.
Nothing like that will ever happen.
After the revolution, what will the two of us do?
Fishing?
Let's go get iced drinks.
The treat's on me.
Are you ready?
Lady,
You didn't bring the gift meant for the folks in the hometown?
Madam said you forgot to bring the precious gift so she sent me to you.
Oh!
Thank you.
I forgot.
My father will be very happy.
The Jirashi reporters managed to escape.
Then what about the other two?
Nothing till now....
You survived.
I knew you would.
What are you doing?
Why aren't you killing me?
Didn't you come to finish me off?
Even so, please live on.
You must live.
You must....
Be happy.
You must survive.
No matter what, you must survive.
I'm being chased.
Can we walk like this for a while?
Cuckoo!
The cuckoo has flown to the nest, right?
You might be questioned so you'd better tie your shoelaces.
Why?
Are you running off with the bag again?
Thank you for surviving.
