Get in there, bastard!
Lock it up!
What's that?! What the hell?!
Comrade Ahn, Mr. Park.
We have to go get Mr. Park of Jung Ja Ok. He's in a cell.
It's too late.
The officers are swarming now! We have to hurry!
Captain!
Lee Kang To!!!
[Gaksital]
We've given him antibiotics, so don't worry too much.
I heard that Jung Ja Ok's owner was also captured.
The fact that Master Yang Baek couldn't come in the middle of the night,
is a big worry.
Did they say that Gyeongseong is still on emergency high alert?
Gaksital has escaped.
Would they really lower security in the light of that?
Master Yang Baek must be able to come safely.
Lee Kang To shook off the man tailing him and crept into Jung Ja Ok.
And you're saying he was considering suit designs for an hour?
Was the plan to rob the Jongro Station armory?!
You're working with Lee Kang To too, aren't you?
Jung Ja Ok is your hideout, isn't it?!
You little bastard...
What shall we do? We haven't even found out anything.
Do you think maybe he was just an owner of a tailor shop?
All night long, he kept saying the governor-general's fitting date was coming up,
and only worried about that.
I think I need to start by going to the tailor shop.
Follow me.
[Jung Ja Ok Tailor Shop]
How are things outside?
It looks absolutely impossible.
I think there are more officers out there than last night.
If we are going to escort Master Yang Baek safely,
we're going to have to lure the bastards away.
What do you mean lure?
There is no other way for you to get out.
I will masquerade as you and lure the bastards away.
And you all should escort Master Yang Baek safely out.
We can't let you go alone, Commander.
I shall go with you.
You have to escort Master Yang Baek.
I will lure them.
You're the man who must escort him out and then back to Shanghai.
If we're going to buy him time, we have to take them on a proper goose chase.
I've eight times successfully gotten away with them chasing me.
No, you can't do that!
How can I send you out into the jaws of death?
Master.
I'm a man who was sent to prison at 19, for organizing rebel activity.
When the Japs saw me as a treacherous rebel and wouldn't give me a bite to eat,
like a mother bird,
you hid food in your mouth and fed me, dodging their eyes.
If it weren't for you,
I would have died of hunger then.
It was thanks to you,
that I was able to have a lovely daughter,
and live as a commander of the independence fighters.
Please allow me to go.
Father.
Boon.
You know your father has escaped eight times, don't you?
I'll do it ten times before I'm through, just wait and see.
Of course you will.
You're a commander of the independence fighters.
The Japanese know my face.
I must escort you to thoroughly deceive them.
Master, please go on ahead.
I will follow shortly.
What can we do?
We'll have to use Mr. Park's car.
I think I will probably be doing some rough driving.
Now then... shall we play some proper hide-and-seek with those bastards?
Are you ready?
Let's go, Commander.
Father!
Don't worry about your father and go.
You know there's someone waiting for you.
Father.
I hear he's been tortured so badly, his body is a mess.
Don't you think he needs your care more than ever?
Father, you'll be coming back, won't you?
You'll keep that promise of doing it ten times, right?
Boon.
I want you to be safe.
I want you to be at peace.
The reason I fight like this to recover our country,
is you.
Because I want you to be free,
and because I want you to live happily.
You know that, don't you?
Let's go.
It's Yang Baek!
After them!
Yes, sir!
Let's go.
Commander!
I'll hold them off here, so take off quickly!
No, I won't.
I can't just go and leave you on your own, Commander.
Your mission is to attend to Master Yang Baek.
So, go. Quickly!
Commander!
I said get out of here!
You son of a bitch...
Thanks to you,
I ended up lying to my Boon Yi.
What?
Haven't I been able to escape with elusive swiftness eight times already?
Since Boon Yi was worried,
I made a big deal that I would do it at least ten times.
Drag him away.
This game of hide-and-seek!
You think it will end if you just catch Yang Baek, Dong Jin, and Gaksital?
What?
Throughout this Joseon land, there are many many Yang Baeks,
and Dong Jins,
and as many Gaksitals as there are grains of sand on a beach!
Wasting your time with endless fruitless efforts...
You were born to be a leader.
Why do you squander away your life so wastefully?
Who's judging whose life as a waste?
You all, trying to save a country that's already fallen, are the ones wasting your time.
Be well,
pitiable friend.
Mok Dan.
Master. Thank goodness you've arrived safely.
How hard for you to toil up here in the hills.
Troupe Leader Jo.
Good to see you.
This is Commander Damsari's daughter, Miss Mok Dan.
You've been through a great deal, Comrade.
Glad to meet you.
Are you all right?
I'm all right.
What do you mean all right?
He came back from the brink of death.
Are you going to mess with me?
Look at you acting all mighty...
I've gone through torture too, you know.
Didn't I ask you for a favor?
All right.
You said a deserted house in the hills between Widong and Changdong?
Tell him to bring some medicinal herbs and that I've been slightly hurt.
Understood, Sir!
You can tell me.
When you hurt, when things are hard; just let it all out.
Don't pretend you're not in pain and not suffering...
Please don't do that, Young Master.
No, I'm really all right.
My body is suffering a little, but my heart feels light.
I no longer have to live a double life,
and I no longer have to be afraid of getting caught.
By the way, what about Master Yang Baek?
He has arrived safely.
And your father?
He has arrived safely too, right?
Father will also
be arriving shortly.
Since Shunji found out about Jung Ja Ok's shop,
I feared that you all might get caught.
You don't know how much I worried.
Search everything thoroughly.
There must definitely be a clue somewhere.
Yes, sir!
Captain! Please come over here.
Those bastards...
Look here, Captain.
This game of hide-and-seek...
You think it will end if you just catch Yang Baek, Dong Jin, and Gaksital?
Throughout this Joseon land, there are many many Yang Baeks,
and Dong Jins,
and as many Gaksitals as there are grains of sand on a beach!
No, no, no.
All I need to do is kill those three bastards.
Yang Baek, Dong Jin, Gaksital...
If I kill those three bastards, it will be over.
It will end.
With Gyeongseong on emergency high alert,
I wondered how he would be able to get out.
He's always been elusively swift.
He has made his proclamation, so he'll certainly come through with his ten escapes.
Seob.
What about Damsari?
Right, how did it go?
We're asking how it went.
After the Japs shot him in the leg,
he absolutely insisted,
that I run on ahead.
Then,
when he was captured by the Japs,
he shot himself.
Master.
How shall we tell Mok Dan about this?
Where is Mok Dan now?
[Geumhwa Pavilion]
You bastard, you still have something left to say?
Chairman.
I am doing everything in my power.
I am putting in every last bit of effort.
What?
Kinbei.
Chairman!
Kimura Shunji! Apologize for your wrongs!
Beg for forgiveness, now!
I've done nothing wrong, Father.
I have always done everything in my power.
I don't care whether or not you've done everything in your power!
What's important to me is whether or not you accomplish your mission!
I found Yang Baek's hideout.
I will complete my mission, so please wait a little longer.
Chairman, you know as well as I do,
that there is no one other than I capable of going after them.
You know that.
Kimura Shunji!
Right.
Deals must be made like that, with guts.
I won't take your life.
So you better make it worth my while.
I understand.
You are quite
a surprising man.
Facing off the chairman like that...
How does one get the resolve
to muster that kind of courage?
I think it's best,
for you and for me,
to stop and let it go now.
Oh Mok Dan came to see me.
She told me you had arrested Lee Kang To
and asked me to save him.
And in front of me,
she knelt.
I had told her earlier to depart with Lee Kang To,
and offered a way out.
But, she refused the offer.
I couldn't understand then, why she refused.
But, when I saw that woman kneel before me,
I understood.
That woman
not only loves Lee Kang To,
but also loves Gaksital.
Being Gaksital,
he must face adversity and suffering.
And even that... she loves.
I...
loved Imperial Officer Lee Kang To.
The Lee Kang To who burned with ambition...
I love only him.
If in the end,
I cannot capture the two of them, then what shall I do?
And Yang Baek,
and Dong Jin too...
What if I cannot catch them in the end?
What if my life
ends in vain, as a waste?
Nonsense!
I'm capturing heinous rebels
and am loyally serving the empire.
How is that a wasted life?
Wait and see.
I'm going take them down all at once.
[Joseon Government-General Building]
We've put out a warrant for Lee Kang To's arrest all over the country.
As we've offered 1,000 won to anyone who reports him,
a report will come in shortly.
Since Yang Baek's hideout has been discovered,
he's certain to have moved to Dong Jin's hiding place.
Commissioner.
The Dong Jin Gyeolsadae has gone quiet again recently.
Captain Kimura.
Do you still believe
the bastards burned down the courts to protest Japanese surnames?
The bastards burned the buildings down to eliminate the family registries,
stole the imperial defense fund,
and robbed the armories and procured a large number of weapons.
Could that really be merely a protest against Japanese surnames?
The bastards...
are planning an armed terrorist attack?
If they're planning an armed terrorist attack, they'll need soldiers.
Could the bastards have burned the registries to block a military draft?
That's precisely it!
Just when the imperial army is struggling in the war against China,
those bastards plan an armed terrorist attack.
Those wretched little rats!
Then we just need to draw out Yang Baek and Dong Jin.
Is there a way?
We detain all the blacklisted people who are under surveillance
and spread the news everywhere that if Yang Baek and Dong Jin
don't appear by a specified date and time, we'll slaughter them.
Then the news will certainly reach them.
Since they won't be able to let their comrades die,
I suppose the bastards will turn up.
Ah, there is a way then. I understand.
To think that Count Lee Si Yong's family
suffered such an attack by the Joseon rebels...
Commissioner, I can't live in peace for even a moment.
Please don't worry too much.
We are doing everything we can to hunt down the criminals.
In any case, the reason you called us here...
With the war intensifying day by day,
how can students who can attend college,
thanks to the prosperity of the imperial throne, be so indifferent?
His Majesty, the emperor is your father.
When the father
is waging a crusade to liberate eastern Asia from the white man,
how can his sons just sit at their desks and study?
You are right.
Our Joseon youth have not had an opportunity
to repay His Majesty for his blessings.
But now, I will actively recommend that they take up the crusade with zeal
and show their gratitude for his blessings.
Only when the educated
become role models for the subjects will Joseon's status rise.
Of course, of course.
We are grateful to His Majesty
for allowing our Joseon people to take part in the war.
Now then, in that spirit, let's have a toast.
- Kanpai! - Kanpai.
Min Gyu.
Noona.
What's this about? We could have seen each other at home.
I wanted to secretly buy my sister a soup and rice meal.
You?
With what money?
I received a scholarship this term.
Really?
Well done, Min Gyu, well done.
Noona.
I think I'm going to have to go into the army.
Army?
Why would a student go into the army?
They say all the students in specialized fields of study have to go.
What?
The police have already checked the student rosters.
And are watching them in case they try to run away.
Since we're all being forced to go,
I can't really run away just by myself.
In any case,
I'll survive and come back.
When are you going?
As soon as the draft notices come out.
Shortly...
But you're our family's hope.
We all thought our troubles would be over once you graduated.
What do we do, Min Gyu?
What do we do if Mother and Father find out?
Noona.
Take care of the family until I return.
I will definitely come back, get a good job,
and give you a good life.
Min Gyu.
Ahjumma.
Please bring us a tasty bowl of soup and rice, please.
All right.
You eat.
I just ate so I'm not hungry.
That's a lie.
Please eat it so I won't get worried.
For my sister who's going to be working hard in my place,
I want to buy at least one little meal.
[Reward: For Wanted Villainous Murderer, Lee Kang To.]
Aigoo, relentless bastard. [Reward: For Wanted Villainous Murderer, Lee Kang To.]
He was the unstoppable Grim Reaper of the Joseon people.
And now even the Japs have thrown him away!
The reward is no less than 1,000 won.
If we just catch this bastard, life would be easy.
- That's true. - Aish!
Lee Kang To isn't a bad person!
What are you talking about?
You don't even know what you're talking about.
- What's he talking about? - What's wrong with him?
Sun Hwa!
Hey, man.
Has he gone mad or something?
What's the matter?
Were you hurt? Did something happen?
Let's go.
I'm asking you what happened!
Move, Ahjussi!
Our teacher hit me because I wouldn't change my name,
so I'm going to the police station to change my name!
What?
He did that to your face because you wouldn't change your name?
Hey.
Which punk is your teacher?
Who is the bastard?!
Please be quiet!
Sun Hwa, are you really going to the police station?
You're going to change Jang Soo's surname?
What else can I do?
They say if we don't, he can't go to school!
Hey, what are you learning in school?
We weave straw bags.
And we get military training.
And we collect items to send to the imperial soldiers...
That's enough, that's enough.
You're sending him to school to learn that garbage?
He has to go to school so that when he grows up...
Sun Hwa!
Learning from the Jap bastards, he'll only end up a Japanese soldier.
He can't become anything but a human bullet shield in the war.
Hey, Eom Jang Soo.
You don't need to go to that kind of school any longer.
You got that?
Hyung! What's your name?
Me?
Kim Deuk Su.
Noona, I like Deuk Su hyung.
Jang Soo!
Come here.
Sun Hwa, Mok Dan is looking for you.
She wants to see you.
Unni? Where is she?
Follow me.
Hold on tightly.
From here on, it's full speed ahead!
- Let's go! - Let's go!
Wait for me!
Here you go.
Enjoy.
Please let me know if you need more.
Unni!
Sun Hwa.
Jang Soo.
Unni, are you all right?
I'm fine.
Putting on such a bright face,
Mok Dan must be in so much pain inside.
I don't know how to comfort her.
After she left her hometown to find her independence fighter father,
she lost her mother at the age of ten.
And now, she has lost her father again.
And if...
If something were to happen to me too,
I don't know how Mok Dan would cope.
Maybe leaving her side,
would be better for her sake.
I wonder.
What do you think is precious enough
to risk your life for as a leader?
I believe it's love.
I love Joseon.
I love my hometown.
I love my mother, my wife, and my son.
How could I not become enraged,
seeing those I love oppressed by the Jap bastards?
If you truly love Mok Dan,
you must stay beside her.
Protect her with your life and fight the bastards who torment her.
Master.
Even though my beloved wife was dying in a hospital ten minutes away,
because of the Japs, I couldn't go see her.
I was not there at all during her final hours.
For my children, for the youth in this land,
I'm fighting like this so they won't be left with that suffering.
How could you speak such words of weakness?
I'm sorry, Master.
It tastes good, doesn't it?
Unni.
Unni, what's the matter?
Is something wrong?
No, it's nothing.
Unni.
When you're with me,
don't pretend that you're not in pain and not suffering...
Please don't do that.
I'm trying to hold it in,
but I can't.
I...
know I shouldn't think like this.
I mean
I know I really shouldn't think like this.
But do you think
we can really win?
Can we really
drive out the Japs?
Do you know what your father said?
He said we can crack a boulder with eggs.
He said a boulder, no matter how strong, is dead.
And eggs, no matter how weak, are alive.
Over time, a boulder will likely break down and become sand.
But someday, chicks will hatch from eggs and step upon that sand.
Be strong.
You have to be strong, Boon Yi.
You know that from you, I get the strength to fight them, don't you?
[Jongro Police Station]
I really didn't know.
I was completely fooled.
I never even dreamed he could be Gaksital.
What, you punk?!
Didn't you protect him like that because you knew?
You're working with Lee Kang To too, aren't you?
No. No, I'm not. No!
Long live Tenno, His Majesty. Hail!
Where does Lee Kang To sleep?
You know where he sleeps, don't you?
He sometimes slept in a boarding room.
And I think he sometimes slept in a house in the mountains.
Mountains?
He said
there was a house in the mountains that distant relatives had abandoned.
Lieutenant, someone has reported seeing Lee Kang To.
What?
He said he saw him frequently,
going to an abandoned house in the hills between Widong and Changdong.
Really?
The captain is here, isn't he?
Yes, sir.
- Let's go. - All right.
Stand back.
Get out, quickly.
- Chase them! - Yes, sir!
In the end, we lost the guy who was staying in the abandoned house.
Gaksital...
He was indeed Lee Sun's child, after all.
How dutifully he prepared his father's revenge.
It won't be long before the bastard comes looking for me.
Why would you say Gaksital would come looking for you?
Because I was behind these six men.
Lee Kang To has likely guessed that by now.
Don't worry.
I am at your side, Father.
In all the 13 provinces, those who follow me add up to about 70,000.
If our first armed uprising is successful,
I will return to Shanghai immediately.
As soon as possible, I must unite the independence groups outside the country
and plan for an attack into the country.
Then I will strike from within
and you'll strike from the outside, is what you're saying.
Let's rewrite that "impossible" history.
Isn't that why you and I
overcame ideologies and philosophies to come together?
Just listening to the two of you talk, my heart races.
Reporter Song.
Are you worried about something?
No.
What would I have to be worried about?
Comrade Lee.
Why don't we young men get some fresh air?
Go on.
We have some important things to discuss anyway.
Then, we'll be back in a while.
Actually,
I wanted to discuss something with you.
What is it?
I went to visit the Seodaemun (West Gate) Prison today,
and I heard that Commissioner Kimura said
that if Master Yang Baek and Master Dong Jin
don't come into the Jongro Police Station by the end of this month,
they will take all the blacklisted people who are under surveillance
and slaughter them all.
W- what?
What should we do about this?
If the two of them find out,
they won't sit idle and let our comrades die.
I think the time has come
for me to bring judgment upon Kimura Taro.
You mean you're going to hit the police commissioner?
Then what if the government-general retaliates
and slaughters all of the blacklisted individuals?
Then what will you do?
Governor-General Wada isn't a man who has the guts to do that.
And they wouldn't do something so ridiculous as to slaughter Joseon men
with an impending draft on its way.
This plan was also likely Kimura Taro's...
sole idea.
Young Master.
Ahjussi.
Kim Deuk Su, you sure came quickly, didn't you?
I got him here anyway.
Young Master.
Are you all right?
You worried a lot, didn't you?
In any case,
Kimura Shunji has found our hideout.
Shunji?
The bastards were chasing us;
and we barely managed to give them the slip and get here.
So, Shunji has finally
figured out that I'm not Lee Kang To, but Lee Young.
Now that the bastards know your true identity,
they will stop at nothing to kill you.
I'll have to fight.
Anyhow, either the bastards or I must die for this to end.
Please don't deter me.
Going forward, I will stick by your side like a shadow.
I want to support you as well.
No.
Ahjussi, Reporter Song, please leave this matter to me.
I will go alone.
I'm all right, Troupe Leader.
Right.
Whose daughter are you, after all?
Father said,
he wanted me to be safe and at peace.
I'm going to try to live with my heart at peace.
We weren't able to properly say goodbye to the troupe members.
They all said they were going to return to their hometowns;
so don't worry, Troupe Leader.
Whenever you want to leave here with Lee Kang To, please do.
No.
I'm not leaving, Troupe Leader.
Some time ago,
a woman brought me a boat ticket, a crossing permit, and money.
She told me to leave with the Young Master.
Someone did that?
I refused the offer on the spot.
I didn't feel the need to consider it at all.
But,
when I heard that Father had died,
I regretted it.
I wondered if we weren't fighting a hopeless battle.
I wondered if we weren't all just going to die.
I thought perhaps I should have left.
I thought I should have left.
But now,
I've put away those feelings.
Even though Father knew he might die,
he went anyway.
So,
even if we lose,
even if we have no chance of winning,
I too will stay here and do everything in my power until the day I die.
Of course you will.
That's what makes you Mok Dan.
Aigoo. Let me do it. Let me.
Aigoo.
My, you are pretty.
What's your name?
It's Sun Hwa. Sun Hwa.
Eom Sun Hwa.
Sun Hwa?
She's pretty.
Mok Dan.
I think Lee Kang To is planning to make a move.
Go and stop him.
If he goes into Gyeongseong right now and gets seen, it will be the end.
Now, you seem a little more like my Young Master.
Are you all right?
I'm...
going to Gyeongseong for a short while.
Why Gyeongseong?
There's...
something I must do.
Go and return safely.
I'll wait.
Don't worry.
I'll return safely.
Can you get back in time for dinner?
I'll make the doenjang (bean paste) stew you like.
All right.
I'll be sure to return before dinner.
[Joseon Government-General Building]
So your fate and Lee Kang To's fate
are that deeply connected?
In any case,
whether it's that bastard or me,
one of us must die for this fight to end.
Don't worry.
I've already planted two of Japan's best warriors.
You just need to go about your life as normal.
Right.
I understand.
Commissioner Kimura!
Is it true
that the basement of Jung Ja Ok Tailor Shop was Yang Baek's hideout?
Is it true, Commissioner Kimura?!
That's right, Your Excellency.
In the heart of Gyeonseong, underneath the top tailor shop,
the bastards had built a hideout.
However,
don't worry, Your Excellency.
Although some thoughtless people in high power frequented the tailor shop
and regularly accepted suits as bribes,
fortunately,
none of our government-general employees did.
Now then,
I'll be going home now.
That...
Commissioner, you've come.
Oh dear God!
