It's been 32 years since you passed away...
...I still remember the day we reunited at Busan.
I have a favor to ask...
What would that be?
Stop visiting me in my dreams.
...Do you still remember how we first met?

Episode 1 of 3 Parting at Busan Harbor
Chungcheongnam-do, Korea
May 20, 1945
Whose ashes are these?
They're my mother's...
We're evacuating together.
That's not rationed... That's high-quality sake!
We received it as a farewell gift at Keijou.
Yoshie Tomoko
Why are you dressed like that!
You call yourself Japanese!?
He's in bad health right now...
Then why's he drinking!
Shut up!
I'm gonna die anyways... At least let me drink in peace!
You traitor!
Tomoko's father Yoshie Junkichi
...Are you blind, Mr. Soldier?
There's no way we'll win this war.
Father!
Hey! What did you say!?
It's already 9:00...
You smartass!
You're off at the next station!
Wait!
Let go!
Daejeon, Korea
Where are we?
This is Daejeon.
...Daejeon?
Yoshie Junkichi... What is your occupation?
Unemployed.
Where are you heading right now?
Samnangjin.
Samnangjin? ...And where is that?
In the country outside of Busan!
My father was ordered to evacuate to our relatives' place.
I refuse.
I'm returning to Keijou.
Father, stop being so stubborn!
I'm not going to Samnangjin alone!
I'll send you money, I promise!
Does he not take alcohol well?
My mother passed away last year...
Do you have any other family?
No.
What do you do for a living?
I work for a hydroelectricity company in Keijou.
I've heard of a Yoshie Maritime Industries in Busan...
That's my father's company.
...We went bankrupt six years ago.
Our boats sank in a typhoon.
The rest of our boats were seized by the army... We've got nowhere to go.
And Mr. Shindou, the president of Busan Shipping, is your relative?
My younger sister is Shindou's wife.
What a coincidence...
Military Police Sergeant Kido Shunji
Before the army, I was a clerk at Busan Shipping.
You're from Busan?
Yes.
Give me a cigarette.
You think this is a joke!?
For the record...
Is it true you said that Japan will lose the war?
Answer the question!
Japan can't possibly lose! Isn't that right, Father?
Very well then... Give him a cigarette.
Thank you!
A military supply train will be leaving in twenty minutes.
I'll get you on... Transfer at Daegu.
Thank you so much!
Samnangjin
June 15
Yoshie Junkichi passes away
Busan, Korea
Ms. Yoshie!
It really is you, Tomo-chan!
Kiyomi!
It's been a while! So you've come back?
Tomoko's friend Okada Kiyomi
You don't look well... Are you hungry?
...I'm all alone now.
Tomo-chan was such a crybaby!
I was always having to be the older sister!
Oh really?
Ms. Yoshie Tomoko!
From elementary school to the Busan Plant, you two were always together!
Thank you.
Are you sure about leaving your parents' ashes at Samnangjin?
Kiyomi's mother Okada Aiko
The temple's in the countryside!
In the middle of her third year, Tomo-chan transferred to the women's school in Keijou.
Don't mind me... I'll just be cutting up paper for the toilet.
But with her parents passed away, she's come back after five years.
Is that your husband?
Yes...
He worked at an insurance company, but he got conscripted before the baby was born.
Who knows where he is now?
Saipan and Iwo Jima were both fights to the death.
I get nervous every time Imperial Headquarters makes announcements.
The winds of luck will blow our way soon enough.
Does your uncle have any children?
No.
Then he'll take good care of you!
Even if he is my uncle, he never got along with my father...
Oh.
But I've got nowhere else to go.
...And living alone before marriage makes for a bad reputation.
Well, if things get awkward over there, just come live with us!
Here!?
My husband's room is open.
Thanks...
But I can't cause you any more trouble.
We're old classmates! Come on!
If you have problems, I want to hear about it!
Thanks.
You're welcome!
Got him!
Busan Shipping
Put your spirit into it!
Tomoko's uncle Shindou Noboru
Get down lower!
Listen up!
If those American and English savages land at Busan, they'll kill all the men and rape all the women!
You must fight like there is no tomorrow!
Ready...
Get down low!
Attack!
Honey!
At ease!
Tomoko's here!
It's good to see you!
Thank you for taking me in!
Let me introduce her...
This is my wife's niece... She came from Keijou to help us.
My name is Yoshie Tomoko.
It's a pleasure to meet all of you!
She's a bright young girl... She worked for a hydroelectric company in Keijou.
And starting tomorrow, she'll be in charge of our accounting!
Now be nice to her!
Tomoko's aunt Shindou Shinobu
Tomoko was born and raised in Busan!
Right?
It's a pleasure to meet you!
Okay... Ready!
Without oil, the ships are forced to sit at port.
To make things worse, the strait is covered thick with mines.
So how will this war turn out?
What happens, happens.
Tea!
Use your head a little!
You're not a guest after all.
I'm sorry...
Be thankful to your uncle.
During rough times like this, he still took you in.
You don't need to go that far.
If she had gotten sick in Keijou, do you think anyone would care for her?
She'd die like an abandoned dog.
Tomo-chan, can I come in?
Yes.
Head to City Hall tomorrow and let them know you've moved in...
The earlier the better.
Yes.
And my joints are starting to ache from rheumatism...
Do you mind doing shopping and taking care of breakfast and dinner?
...And the housecleaning and laundry.
I sent our two maids back to Japan, so I've had just about enough.
You don't want to?
...I don't mind.
It's the least you can do, right?
After all, your father did something unspeakable to my husband.
Borrowing money and then running away...
Can you imagine how ashamed I was thanks to him?
June 23
"Naisen-ittai" means Japanese and Koreans coming together to overcome this national crisis.
Here at Busan Shipping, Executive Director Nitta and Operations Head Kanayama are both Koreans.
They have expanded the spirit of "Naisen-ittai" and work ever so diligently!
With 60 million Japanese, 30 million Koreans, and 10 million Taiwanese...
Together, that makes 100 million with one heart, one mind.
If our hearts are not one, there is no way we will win the war.
And our business will stagnate.
Do you understand?
Yes, sir!
June 24
Good morning!
We've lost Okinawa!?
On the 20th, all staked a final attack against enemy forces
August 6
Yesterday, the American army dropped a new type of bomb over Hiroshima.
It was only one bomb, but the damage appears to have been extensive.
But not to worry... You will be safe if you run to the bomb shelter!
When the air siren sounds, run immediately to the bomb shelter!
Yes, sir!
Mr. President?
When will the war end?
What!?
Both Germany and Italy have surrendered.
The Empire of Greater Japan shall never surrender!
How will we fight without weapons or food!?
Forget about us... What about our families!
Mr. President!
You goddamn coward!
This is precisely why Koreans have a bad reputation!
(Emperor Hirohito surrenders)
August 15
What's he saying?
The people of Imperial Japan are faced with an unprecedented crisis.
But I will protect this company through whatever means...
I won't leave you out in the cold.
This very Busan Shipping shall be our fortress to the end.
What the hell is going on...
What indiscretion at a time like this!
Everyone is rejoicing.
What?
I hate to say it, but Japan's defeat means us Koreans are free.
What do you mean "free"!
We're a sovereign nation now.
Have you lost your mind!?
You Koreans fought the Americans as loyal citizens of the Japanese Empire!
These are the Emperor's orders!
Mr. Kanayama!
"Sovereignty"?
It was Japan who protected and industrialized all of Korea!
That may be what the Japanese think, but that's not how we see it!
You ungrateful little...
You're a goddamn nationalist, aren't you?
I'm just your average Korean.
No you're not!
Yes I am!
Who is it?
Is Mr. Shindou home at the moment?
My name is Kido Shunji.
Good evening... I apologize for coming by so late.
How can I help you?
I've come to give my regards.
Could you tell him that Mr. Kido from Busan Shipping is here?
...Yes?
You were the soldier!
I'm Yoshie... You helped us at the train station at Daejeon!
That was you!?
I am truly grateful for your help then.
How's your father doing?
He passed away soon after that.
What an unexpected reunion...
Well, Father had that kind of personality...
No, your father was right.
What did he say?
That Japan would lose this war.
It's a miracle he made it out alive after saying that.
But he was right... Japan should have ended the war much sooner.
What about Korea?
Well, actually...
Any moment now the Americans will land at Busan.
The Japanese army will be disarmed and taken as prisoners of war--
Mr. Kido.
Forget the army...
What will happen to the rest of us?
Likely deportation, from both Manchuria and Korea.
Deportation!?
Even civilians?
Are they out of their minds!?
It's not just the military they're looking at...
The occupation forces are investigating the Government-General and Japan's national policy companies.
"National policy"!? Give me a break!
I would urge Busan Shipping to immediately destroy any military-related documents.
If worse comes to worse, you could be in danger.
Mr. Kido.
I made Busan Shipping what it is today!
I've shed blood, sweat, and tears in Korea, knowing that I might very well die here!
Don't give me this "national policy" crap!
Thank you.
Take care.
...I'm growing the hair out on orders.
Where are you headed off to now?
I'll be returning to the military police for now...
But after that, who knows?
My fellow countrymen, we are free at last!
Korea is free, hurrah!
The 36-year nightmare is over!
Let us construct a sovereign nation!
Korea is free, hurrah!
The Japanese must leave!
Korea is free, hurrah!
Kiyomi-chan!
Tomo-chan!
The whole transport ship sunk... My husband drowned!
And the war was finally over, too...
Let me introduce the new Busan Shipping.
As the new president, Mr. Nitta.
And as vice president, Mr. Kanayama.
With the utmost faith in their abilities, I only hope for Busan Shipping's comeback and further expansion.
I'm counting on you, Mr. Nitta.
With you two at the helm, things should go smoothly with the Americans.
You have my sympathies.
I'm counting on you, Mr. Kanayama.
You've worked hard, Mr. President.
As special advisors, Mr. Satake and I will continue to assist in the management of the company.
...That is until we return back to Japan.
My apologies for being late.
You're here!
Everyone, our secretary Mr. Kido has returned!
He's good at linguistics... He should be an asset in our negotiations with the occupation forces.
However, you must keep secret Mr. Kido's history as a soldier.
Understood?
September 9 American forces occupy Keijou
September 16 American soldiers patrolling Busan
Busan Station
October 26, 1945
"Repatriate" has a bad ring to it...
It basically means I've been stripped of everything and deported.
It makes me a war refugee.
When are you heading home, Mr. Shindou?
What a question to ask...
You're just itching for me to leave, aren't you?
We're just worried.
The Americans will likely order all Japanese to leave.
Don't worry about me.
I'm sure you know what'll happen to all the property and stock under my name.
The occupation forces will confiscate everything.
And how unreasonable is that!?
There must be a way out somehow.
Unfortunately, all Japanese will have their private assets frozen.
You don't need to tell me that, young man.
I'm asking if you've discovered a way around that!
The Americans see the Japanese as the invaders and Korea as a colony.
Whether it's Japan or America, the only ones who come out winning are Koreans.
You are wrong... The Americans are harsh to Koreans as well.
They refused to recognize the People's Republic of Korea!
They will not recognize our independence!
Of course! The People's Republic is just a Communist fabrication!
I beg to differ!
So you're a Communist, too?
In any event, I've already entrusted you two with the company I established.
Right?
And now you're deporting me empty-handed.
Have you demonstrated your good faith to me?
We have been nothing but honest with you.
But the Japanese are not permitted to take even a penny back with them.
Very well then!
Let's forget about handing the company over to you two.
I will remain as president.
You might as well apply for Korean citizenship then.
Listen to the filth coming out this man's mouth!
Goddamn Koreans... You're all a bunch of thieves!
According to the lawyer Mr. Shiokawa, all the wealthy Japanese have the same doubts you do.
But of course.
It seems the only way out is to leave your assets with Koreans you can trust, and have them return it to you in the future.
And there are Koreans I can trust?
Without a doubt, they'll demand enormous compensation.
If I have to wait years for my money to come back, forget it.
Then your only options are illegal.
Meaning...?
Smuggling.
Smuggling?
But the repatriates have to go through a rigorous customs inspection.
Yes, they even do a patdown.
They will only permit you to return to Japan with 1000 yen in cash, bedding, clothing, and cooking utensils.
Works of art, precious metals, and any stocks and bonds will be confiscated.
So that option is out of the question.
What I suggest is that someone smuggle it on a different ship.
A different ship?
Who?
Help yourself to some porridge.
Thank you.
Tomoko-chan...
Mr. Kido will be staying with us for the time being.
He'd be in danger if the Koreans turn violent.
I'm sorry for all the trouble.
Uncle?
I have to go to Samnangjin.
Samnangjin!?
I left my parents' ashes at the temple there.
Why did you do that!
That's out of the question!
Japanese are not permitted on trains heading north.
But I can't abandon my mother and father here!
But what will happen if you get left behind, too!
November 10
Tomo-chan?
We'd like to talk with you... Do you have a minute?
Yes.
So, Tomoko-chan...
The two of us will be returing to Japan on the 25th...
But you won't be able to come with us.
Your official residence is in Okayama, no?
Our boat is only carrying people headed for Yamaguchi.
So you'll be returning on a separate ship to Okayama...
And the first thing you should do is visit your father's family.
If you can't find any relatives, then we'll happily take you back in.
That's just the logical sequence of things, okay?
Father...
Mother...
Tomoko-san?
Do you have a moment?
...Mr. Kido?
Is something wrong?
I've received the President's permission...
We're heading to Samnangjin.
Put this on.
The train leaves at 3:50.
It'll be night when we get back, but we'll be able to make it before the day is over.
I'll see you then.
Repatriates at Busan Station, headed back to Japan
Samnangjin, third class... Two tickets, please.
Thank you fo--
No Japanese.
Where are you headed?
Samnangjin.
Newlyweds?
Yes.
Your wife is beautiful.
Thank you.
You're a lucky man...
The war is over and the Japanese have all left.
You can go wherever you want now!
It's so different from when we were young!
Isn't that right?
Samnangjin
A magpie!
Do you know what they say about the magpie?
What would that be?
If it rains on the day of the Tanabata, the heavenly river floods and the weaver maiden can't cross the river.
But it's the only day of the year she can see the shepherd boy.
So flocks of magpies congregate and join to make a bridge.
Crossing the bridge of magpies, the two can finally meet.
But magpies can't fly long distances, so they wouldn't be able to cross a strait.
Tomoko-san.
All the Japanese here have already left.
Even the Korean monk escaped because he cooperated with the Japanese.
I'll head to the town hall and find someone who can help us.
Wait here.
You must be hungry...
I bought you some bread.
Thank you.
Don't go anywhere.
Sorry for keeping you waiting.
I convinced some officials to come with me.
Put this on... It's cold.
Father...
Mother...
Are you sure those are your parents?
Yes.
This is only formality, but you must prove that you are their daughter.
I can vouch for that.
How will you prove that?
Wait a minute...
Why would someone come here from Busan to take back the ashes of strangers!?
You speak very good Korean.
Thanks to you, I got my parents' ashes back.
And this is the second time, Mr. Kido...
Mother and Father would be grateful, too.
It looks like the snow will get heavy... We should hurry.
I'm sorry... All they had was a freight car.
I don't mind...
It's not your fault there aren't any trains running.
What's wrong?
I'm so sorry...
Don't hold back your tears...
After all, once you get back to Japan, you won't get a chance to.
I don't want to go back to Japan.
I'm a Busan girl through and through!
Busan is my home.
Even if I return to Japan, where will I go?
What about your parents' ashes?
To my father's home...
But I don't know anyone there.
I understand Mr. Shindou is leaving you here and heading home with his wife.
...There must be a reason.
At this point, I might as well die...
Have you lost your mind?
This is nothing!
How can you say that to the parents who gave birth to you?
It won't be easy, but if you stand strong...
the day will come when you'll be glad you lived your life... I promise.
Sorry...
I didn't mean to fall asleep.
No...
Get some rest.
I have a favor to ask.
When you leave for Japan, take me with you.
I don't think I can stand going alone...
Nevermind... I shouldn't have asked.
I won't be returning to Japan.
I'm Korean.
You thought I was Japanese?
But you were with the military police...
There were many Koreans who volunteered to join the Japanese army.
Even if we didn't want to, they forced us to.
As a soldier in the Japanese army, I fought for His Majesty the Emperor.
Some of us graduated from the academy and became commissioned officers.
And some of us sacrificed our lives to crash our planes into enemy ships.
But when the war is over, we are still Koreans.
My name is Boku Shunjin.
I'm sorry... But I'm Korean.
I can't help you on your journey home.
Mr. President!
Let go!
Stop!
I can't take it with me anyways!
Mr. President!
Honey!
Uncle!
If I can't take it all with me, I'll never be happy!
Throwing tantrums won't help.
It's over... It's all over!
It's not over!
The day will come when you'll be able to visit Korea again.
Not until I'm long dead!
My husband can't seem to let go.
We lost the war, so this is our fate...
but he just can't seem to accept it.
He must have trouble sleeping, too...
He cries himself to sleep every night.
Do you think I'll be able to make it home, too?
Of course.
All Japanese will eventually be forced out of Korea.
We didn't make life easy for you, either.
It's alright.
Tomo-chan...
Do you know why we took you in and were strict?
We don't have children, remember?
So we adopted you, and wanted you to get married happily...
At least that's what we wanted.
Here...
I'll give this coat to you.
It'll start to get cold soon.
November 25
You got left behind!?
I guess so.
I can't believe it... You're family!
They basically abandoned you!
I still have some accounting to take care of anyways.
Forget about that, just go home!
Besides, you know they're just lying about being from Yamaguchi!
Have you decided where you're going?
For the time being, probably my father's hometown.
Where is that?
Kibi County in Okayama Prefecture.
When do you leave?
They said it was impossible before the end of the year.
That's absurd!
A young woman left behind... Who knows what could happen!
Come back with us.
That's right!
We'd love to have you with us!
Is that possible?
I'm sure we can work something out.
I know someone from Busan Plant who's part of a Japanese assistance group that helps repatriates.
Oh.
December 10th?
Ms. Okada made the preparations for me.
Thank you so much for everything.
You have my sincere gratitude.
I see.
I can only bring home what I can carry in my hands.
Tomoko-san...
Yes?
Can you come with me for a minute?
Will you lead a happy life back in Japan?
I hear that the cities have burned to the ground from air raids and food supplies are low.
And 7 million Japanese from overseas are coming back.
I have nowhere else to go.
All alone?
You said yourself...
It won't be easy, but if I stand strong...
I did say that... But when I think about what you're about to go through, I can't let you go.
Stay here in Korea.
Become a Korean citizen!
...I can't do that.
Why not?
I'm Japanese.
Until three months ago, I was Japanese, too.
No, for 36 years, 30 million Koreans were all "Japanese."
In a moment they all returned to being Korean.
The last name Kido... I just disassembled the character for "Boku."
On the Government-General's orders, I took a Japanese name...
but Kido or Boku, I am who I am.
Japan or Korea... Who cares about countries!
I want you to marry me.
You might think I'm a coward, taking advantage of misfortune...
But my heart doesn't lie.
Mr. Kido...?
Please listen...
After seeing you here again, for 100 days straight my heart was aflutter.
The clam miso soup and vegetable tempura you made for me...
The buttons you sewed back on my to shirt.
Along with the holes in my socks, you patched up the wounds of my heart.
I'm begging you...
I want you to be my wife!
I'll protect you through thick and thin.
But...
You don't like me?
No, that's not it...
I love you.
Tomoko!
I'll never let you go again.
This isn't meant to be...
Isn't meant to be?
I have to take my parents' ashes back.
Isn't Busan your home?
But it's not my home country!
What is a "home country" anyways?
Will it protect you?
If I don't go back now, I'll never--
I'm not letting you go!
Japan is my country!
I can't betray my country...
Tomoko!
Forgive me!
Busan Harbor
December 10, 1945
If you all open up your belongings, the inspection will go smoother!
Bring only what you can carry, no more!
All this... And you're alone?
Yes.
You cannot take this.
Ashes?
Physical examination room
Take your clothes off.
What's this?
Money.
1000 yen only!
I need this to make a living in Japan!
I won't survive without it!
I'll have you arrested!
Thief!
Ms. Yoshie!
Tomoko!
Come back down!
I'll find my way to Japan... To see you.
When you arrive in Japan, let me know your address.
What the hell are you doing!
And this... A magpie...
Who's that?
Someone I owe so much to.
He's Korean?
At the foot of Gabi, in the glowing mist...
Busan Women's High School School Anthem
In a peaceful garden, the green grass...
Stretches it's roots deep...
fading into Yongdu's waters.
Repatriates arriving at Hakata Harbor
True to the principles of the pine tree...
Quarantine station, DDT spraying
blooming only after all eternity.
Train carrying repatriates
Excuse me...
Don't give up, Tomo-chan!
I wonder if I'll be able to make it on my own.
Don't be silly!
You might be alone, but I have to take care of my mother and the baby!
You're right...
Without ashes, I took the nails and hair my husband left.
Now I can finally put him to rest in Japan!
Don't lose your repatriate certificate or your rice ration chart.
I won't!
And be careful of thieves!
Write me!
You, too!
Hey, close the window already!
My God, look!
It's Hiroshima!
It's all... It's all gone...
It's been wiped off the map...
Excuse me!
Yes?
How can I get to Higaramura?
You're a repatriate?
It's at least a one-hour walk from here.
One hour...?
It'll be near impossible with your luggage.
You have family there?
My uncle's cousin is Yoshie Fukutarou.
He used to be the old postmaster!
Postmaster?
You can't go walking at night by yourself, ma'am...
I'll go ask the police to help you, okay?
This is the house.
Excuse me!
Mr. Yoshie!
You got a guest!
Excuse me! Mr. Yoshie!
What seems to be the matter?
One of your relatives came back from overseas.
Her name's Yoshie Tomoko... Do you know her?
Don't worry 'bout 'nuthin...
Make yourself at home.
Thank you.
It's just leftovers, but help yourself.
Thank you!
Honey... From cheek to chin, Tomoko looks just like Junkichi!
She sure do.
I stayed at Junkichi's home in Busan for 10 days!
It was like a palace!
You were still in elementary school... Do you remember me?
Nope.
Hey, say hello to your new sister!
Hi there!
Thanks to you, I think my mother and father can finally rest in peace.
And thank you for the clothes for today.
You must've been through a lot!
I feel like the weight's been lifted off my shoulders.
Tomoko...
Do you mind visiting the main house and introducing yourself?
Main house?
Well, things turned a little ugly.
I told her you came and invited her to the ceremony today...
but it seems she's in a bad mood.
She's upset we took you in without their approval.
I've lost face with them.
Father...
This woman claims to be Junkichi's daughter.
She just sauntered back from Korea and wants to inter her parents' ashes in the family grave.
What do you think, Father?
As head of this family, do you give her permission?
Like father, like daughter... She can't tell the main house from the branch house.
Shall we dismiss her?
Please, wait!
I apologize for any rudeness on my part.
My father never told me anything, so...
Shut your mouth.
When you're prospering overseas, you're all ingracious and we never hear one word from you.
But when the war leaves you flat broke, you suddenly pretend like we're all family again.
Do you have no shame?
The fact is, repatriates are just another burden we all could do without.
I won't be a burden.
You forced yourself into a branch house.
I only wanted to return my father's ashes to his birthplace.
Even if the main house refuses?
Please, I'm begging you.
I'm only the wife... You need to ask my husband.
And your husband is...?
He's a prisoner of war in Siberia.
Siberia?
In any event, the Yoshie house has been the village head for 500 years.
We cannot keep ties with people who do not follow custom.
Wa-ter!
Onobu!
Are you alright?
I'm sor-ry...
If only I was in good health...
Who does she think she is?
That wife's nose has grown too long!
Don't worry about the ashes...
Once they're in the grave, they ain't comin' out.
I'll talk with the main family.
Thank you.
Your mother was from Kagoshima, right?
Yes.
We're all family here, but how about you spend some time with your family there?
Why!?
If the main house won't accept her, there's no way we can take her in.
She came to us for help!
But we'll lose face with the main house!
There's nothing to gain from taking her in.

Keep your voice down!
This ain't the Edo Period!
Who cares about the main house!
When things cool down, you can always come back.
But Kagoshima...?
How pitiful...
