Toyotomi Hideyoshi, The Last
Exhibition of Inoue Artifacts
It's amazing
We don't have to
do the rounds, right?
There are bodyguards
all over the place...
Who is it?
I'm in
Roger!
The t*rror1st group
that has taken Ito Hall
has been identified
as the "Hurei-Sen-Jin"
When their claims
of Chosun independence
failed to earn public support
even from Koreans
they turned to terrorism
Authorized Personnel ONLY
In the Hureisenjin attack on the
Japanese Cultural Center in 2007
The leaders of the team
were apprehended
and the team was believed
to have been destroyed
but another t*rror1st attack
was carried out today
The Hureisenjin have
apparently rebuilt their team
Eight SWAT teams
are standing by
- How many t*rrorists are there?
- We believe about 10
Their demands?
Nothing yet, sir!
Can we move
in right away?
I wouldn't do
anything hasty
Think of the
Cultural Center
Stalling will only result in greater damage
They've taken many hostages
No more negotiations with Hureisenjin!
Sakamoto! Sorry to
cut short your vacation
Tough luck!
Sakamoto!
How's the situation?
It's strangely quiet
They've taken control of
the Central Hall but
there's no movement
I have a bad
feeling about this
It reminds me of the nightmare
at the Japanese Cultural Center
Go!
Bring them to the east exit
We'll be standing by
Drop the g*n!
Drop your g*n
and surrender!
f*ck you!
I didn't come
here to surrender
Any more
resistance is useless
Drop the g*n!
Are you Korean?
Drop your g*n!
I asked
if you were Korean!
How can
you sh**t at us?
You're just criminals
Criminals?
How can a try to get
my country back be a crime?
I'm going to count to three
I am Captain Joon-Hwan Kim
of the Korean Independence Army
One!
Tell them this message
- Two!
- Korea is an independent country!
Japan has committed a crime
by forcefully invading Korea
We...
Sakamoto!
What did he say in Korean?
JBI Seoul Office
Judging from the break-in route
and the overall nature of the attack
We know it was
a well-trained team
Hureisenjin has rebuilt itself
This incident will
provide material clues
material clues
to the direction
the organization
plans to take
But
The current evidence isn't enough to
clearly identify their specific motives
Maybe they were after
the national treasures?
The Hureisenjin are not known
to commit simple robberies
That's right
Many were
damaged in the g*nf*re
But there is no evidence that
they tried to steal any of them
What are the
other possibilities?
The interesting thing is that
they locked up the hostages
Almost as if they
wanted to protect them
Then they must've
had another motive
They completed their task but the
police came sooner than they expected
This was confirmed by
statements from the hostages
There is another unusual detail
One t*rror1st tried to
slip out with the hostages
This man
This is just speculation
but we believe the g*n fight
may possibly have been...
...a cover for something else
Ten men were sacrificed
to save one?!
Please leave this case
to Saigo and myself
Why do you always go for
the Hureisenjin cases?
Do you have
something to prove?
Why not let
Inspector Miura
take it and leave me out of it?
I have no idea
about you sometimes
Who has the most to
lose from this case?
The Inoue
Foundation obviously
Could this be relate
to the Foundation?
We can start by checking out
the background for the exhibition
Thanks, Saigo!
Hey!
Don't dump this on me!
You know that picture?
What picture?
That Hureisenjin guy...
It's nothing!
I'll make sure that
nothing affects the schedule
Here you are!
- Who are you?
- Oh!
You mean Mr. Inoue
That's Mr. Inoue Kenji
Chairman of the Inoue Foundation
He's the grandson of
the second governor of Korea
This painting "Utopia"
is by Kawabata Yukio
He drew paradise
as he saw it in a dream
This kind of celadon is
famous around the world
It's magnificent, isn't it?
Amazing that it made it
through all that g*n fire
The last exhibition?
After this exhibition, all the
artifacts will be moved back to Japan
This exhibition is amazing
But this is nothing compared to
the really important gems
that already have been moved to
Busan for shipment back to Japan
This one piece was huge
Huge? What was it?
Over there
That's where it used to be
Inoue was the Korea's second governor
and he collected
every treasures he could
He was quite a collector
I've heard stories
that he even collected
a lot of forbidden things
by the government
and wilder stuff
than in this exhibit...
One time, he saw this mountainous rock
in Harbin that he wanted so much
but couldn't move it with
the technology at the time
So, he left instructions in his will
and eventually had it moved
Talk about obsessive
So he got it after he died
- Daddy!
- Ok. Ok!
- Go to Mommy, Go to Mommy!
- All right. I know
Why did you ask me over anyway?
Oh, that...?
Ask Yuriko!
This is when your Daddy and
I were at the Police Academy
Your mom and dad had started
dating when they had a fight
What are you telling her?
And your daddy said that
they should break up
Stop it!
But, your daddy
loved your mom
So much that he just cried for days
Daddy cried?
That's not all
One day...
The things you tell a child
That's enough
Mommy!
One day!
Mommy got a letter
I hadn't gotten a letter
since I was a little girl...
There was
a strange name on it
Mommy read
the letter and thought
"If he has a friend like this
I could trust him with my life"
Do you know that
Yuriko still has your letter?
What did you
write in that letter?
How come you keep secrets
with someone else's wife?
Every time I see your family
I envy you
Yuriko is so warm and gentle
and Keiko is really cute
Was it a woman?
Huh?
You said
you sometimes see visions
Oh, that
Well... I don't know...
It looks like a woman...
At first, thought cuz you're workaholic
But I don't think that's it
Then what?
It's time you got married
You still have
feelings for her?
Who?
I was pretty drunk
at the graduation party
but I remember clearly
You said that you felt like
You've been in love so long
I told you that?
I don't get it...
What?
The Hurei-Sen-Jin
Why were they fighting so hard?
Obsessed with the past, I guess
Chosun disappeared and
was reborn as a united Japan
They're in denial about reality
That's the problem
Is that why you're obsessing
about this case?
If I had Korean blood...
I would understand
how you feel
But let's be realistic
You and I are Japanese
You don't need to get emotional
about something like that
Sakamoto!
I've never thought
of you as a Korean
Aha! You drag me all
the way to this smelly dump...
Being in Korean districts
always gives me the creeps
I just got here and
was having a smoke
I already had dinner
You used to love sushi
What happened?
Like father, like son
You love sushi just like your father
Masao loved sushi, too
when he was at your age
Don't talk about my father
- Sakamoto!
- Please...
Your father was
a great police officer
Then he wouldn't have been
shot by a fellow officer
Sakamoto!
Yes, I'm not being
very smart today
I should've just congratulated you
I know it's late, Sakamoto!
Happy birthday!
Is your
investigation going well?
We're still just getting started
Did you know there was
a similar case before?
That time, too, we couldn't
figure out Hureisenjin's motives
Year 1985
The Vladivostok case
Chronological table of
Hureisenjin activities
Attempted hijacking of
Vladivostok barge
Agent Sakamoto Masao

Access Denied!
Access Denied!
What are you staring at?
I was wondering
if it was related to this case
Really?
Hideyo!
Why don't you get
some new glasses?
They're not pretty but
my wife bought them for me...
She likes them
Then it can't be helped
Here, the picture
you asked for
Oh, thanks!
- What is it?
- We over looked a simple detail
This thing is over
where it was
originally displayed
So?
It's rock
so it's heavy and
Look how big it is! There's no way
it moved that far during the sh**t
Think about the guy
who tried to escape
They left this morning
What do you mean?
The rest of the
exhibition's cancelled
and everything is being moved back
to Japan earlier than scheduled
What is that assh*le?
Mission complete!
Move out!
Mission complete!
Move out, K1!
Answer me, K1!
K1!
Sakamoto!
Let's go!
K-team!
Move out!
This was the motive
for the Ito Hall incident!
That's the motivation!
The so called "Lunar Soul"
Extremely ancient. Exact age unknown
The Inoue Foundation excavated
excavated it in 1923
The excavation site was
at Wandal Mountain near Harbin
It was used in
religious ceremonies
Why would they steal
something so useless?
That's the key question
We figured out that
Finally, Hureisenjin got a "Lunar Soul"
The Lunar Soul was their goal
But still don't know
why they needed it
This is a list of similar cases
Anniversary Hall bombing
of the Vladivostok Barge
One incident in 2005, two in 2006
five from 2007 to date including this
And they are all connected
to the Inoue Foundation
Their goal is
the Inoue Foundation?
It can't be just a coincidence
The two organizations
must be related somehow
There's no other
logical explanation
A full investigation into...
the Inoue Foundation is necessary
in order to find some answers
Investigation?
The Inoue Foundation
is no easy match
Hasty action without solid
evidence is unacceptable
The Inoue Foundation?
Scared?
Sakamoto, did you get
the Commissioner's permission?
The higher you get
the scarier things get
Even with solid evidence
The Commissioner will hesitate
But you can't investigate without
the Commissioner's permission
You saw the record on the
Vladivostok case 24 years ago, right?
The case where the Hureisenjin
tried to hijack the barge?
On the report it says
they were after semiconductors
But there were other things
on the barge. You know what?
More Inoue
Foundation artifacts?
Yes! The rock thing that was being
shipped to Japan from Harbin
The huge thing that Inoue wanted!
That was on the barge
That's what the Hureisenjin were after?
Yes!
What does that have
to do with this case?
Harbin!
Harbin?
Both the big rock artifact and
the Lunar Soul were found in Harbin
The conflict between the Hureisenjin and the
Inoue Foundation must be related to that artifact
I'm not sure how this fits in
but it's too strange to be a coincidence
Harbin is where the attempted
assassination of Ito Hirobumi took place...
It was Inoue who
saved Ito at that time
What do you want from me?
Please tell us. I can't find any
info about that artifact anywhere
It's been erased from the Foundation's
collection list. They have it, don't they?
I said I don't know...
What are you trying to hide?
You think it's
justifiable to barge in here
and demand info about
something from 24 years ago?
I'm sorry, sir. We'll make an official
request for your cooperation later
We'll meet with
the Chairman in person and...
This is unacceptable!
Who do you think you are to treat
the Inoue Foundation like a criminal?
Why are you avoiding answering?
Wasn't the thing on the boat
shipped from Harbin?
Sakamoto!
what's wrong with you?
Calm down!
What did you say your name was?
Sakamoto Masayuki
Now I remember
Yes, there was a Korean police officer
The Hureisenjin paid him off
A corrupt cop...
That has nothing to do
with my question!
A fellow officer
shot him, I believe...
- Answer the question!
- Sakamoto Masao!
- What is on that ship?
- I said I don't know!
I heard his son
became a cop, too...
Sakamoto!
- What's wrong with you?
- What!
This attitude
it's not like you!
You saw that too
He's hiding
something for sure!
That's why you got so upset?
That's why you att*cked
him without thinking?
Listen, we are police officers
We have to be objective
Don't drag your petty feelings
about your father into this!
What?
All right
My father was a corrupt cop.
He was a
Hureisenjin dog...!
A filthy cowardly traitor!
That's what you want to hear?
You want to despise me?
Fine, laugh away!
There's tainted blood
running through me
Sakamoto!
Calling your feelings "petty"
was bad of me. Sorry
I'm solving this case
Harbin International Airport
Congratulations!
Ancient Koreans worshipped
the sun and the moon
This is where the temple stone
the altar where rituals to...
the Sun god Haemosoo
were carried out
Professor Ono!
What is the Lunar Soul?
It's the knife used to cut off
the head of the sacrificial animal
They called it the Lunar Soul because
it contained the spirit of the moon
The Lunar Soul...
it's a beautiful name, isn't it?
That was 20 years ago
Everyone here was against it
but they were adamant
People said
there would be a curse...
No one lives here now...
That's right!
It was the Inoue Foundation
Commissioner's
He's the one
Saigo Shojiro!
Say hello
This is Mr. Inoue Kenji!
Don't move!
Do you know me?
You must know me
JBI agent Sakamoto Masayuki
And also?
A traitor who turns his g*n
on his own people
How can a criminal be
defending her people?
A criminal?
Then you're saying
your father is a criminal too?
We're Just trying to
get our country back
But no one wants to get it back
You're just making Koreans suffer
Cut the crap. You're just
an errand boy for the Japanese
Why don't you drop
your backwards ideas!
What?
- Korea is gone!
- Shut up!
You can't sh**t
I can see it in your eyes
Then you sh**t me!
You just don't have the
courage to become like us!
Sakamoto!
You've been taken off the case
You know why?
Because you're Korean
Please explain to me
what this is
You don't even know
what you did!
Did I tell you to investigate
the Inoue Foundation?
What are you trying to prove?
The Inoue Foundation is
the key to the case
As long as they keep quiet
the Hureisenjin...
Shut up!
You want to some sort of hero
by investigating a powerful figure?
You arrogant jerk! What was that
stunt you pulled at the Foundation?
The 1985 case was
about the "temple stone"
The temple stone is
related to this case
Excuses!
That's enough!
Investigating without reporting
is grounds for suspension!
Any objections?
No, sir
That letter...
what was in it?
It was a long letter...
Everything about
Sakamoto was in it
At the end
He said that you were a precious
person to him and he hoped
we would reconcile
for your friendship
Were you that upset for my
scolding you for not eating kimchi?
You had tears
running down your face
- No, I wasn't
- Don't deny it
It was just spicy, that's all
I haven't been able to
eat kimchi since then
- You were a crybaby
- No way
That year
remember the picnic?
Stop it now!
I put aside my case and went to
all that trouble to make that lunch
And you threw it away and cried
because you were the only one...
without your parents
So I got mad at you
I was just a kid
No!
I was a little hurt
because you didn't understand me
but, I was really mad at me
for not able to
take your father's place
I promised myself that I would
never make you cry again
I have to keep
my promise to Masao
Why did you give me info on
the 1985 Vladivostok case?
Sakamoto, you're
mistaken about your father
He wasn't a
corrupt cop, like you think
Yes, he did side
with the Hureisenjin
He thought that
he had to do it for Korea
I was 7 years old
Did he have to abandon
his family like that?
No! Masao worried
about you until the end1
He came to me the night
before he went to Vladivostok
He asked me to take care of you
It was the only time I ever saw him cry
You have to
understand how much
it hurt him to
leave you behind1
He loved you
more than anything×
Stop it!
We're out of drinks
I'll get it!
You were drinking and got
angry at being suspended
You were arguing and then
go mad, so you shot him?
Answer!
You're a cop
so you know the drill§
Confess!
Sakamoto!
Keeping your mouth shut
will do you no good
Saigo, you do it
Someone was after me
He k*lled Takahashi
thinking it was me@
- He died because of me...
- Name?
Name?
Now you too
He was like
a father to me
You know
I didn't sh**t him
Just answer the question!?
You were
holding the g*n
You didn't report it and your
so-called intruder left no trace
It's a conspiracy
Isn't it?£
Saigo!
Are you part of this?~
Look at me in eyes!
Why are you
trying to stop me?@
It's connected to
the case, isn't it?
Because you're protecting
the Inoue Foundation?
Why the hell are
you doing this?
Sakamoto, you are under
arrest for the m*rder of Takahashi
The b*ll*ts in the body
was identified as yours
Arrest him!
You'll find
a lot of friends in jail
Since most of
them are Koreans@
Hideyo, you got new glasses
Oh... the old ones were out of style
Don't come back
Next time we meet
you and I are enemies
Where...
Where am I?
Someplace...
not safe for you at all
Don't go outside this room¾
There are a lot of
people after you
Hey!
Thanks!
Don't move!
You!
You're Japanese, aren't you?
Do you know how many of us
died because of people like you?
You wouldn't sh**t...
Don't come near me!
Ouch!
You're Herin's boyfriend, right?‘
What?
The only man allowed
in this room is me!
What's your name?
Min-Jae!
Min-Jae!
Hey
Hey, kid
I can't stand...
arrogant pricks
What the hell do
you think you're doing?
Arrogant bastard
Stop it
There's someone
who wants to see you
Welcome, Sakamoto
You know me?
I knew your father
Masao Sakamoton
Do you know
Choong-Kun Ahn?@
The assassin who attempted
to k*ll Ito Hirobumi?
Assassin...
You have good
reason to call him that“
How do you think history would
have turned out if he had succeeded?
And what about if Japan
had lost World w*r II?
Atomic bombs were dropped on
Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1 945n
and Korea gained
independence...?;
The history you know
has been tampered with
The damage caused by
the atomic b*mb was horrendous
Korea became independent
and we lost the w*r
However, Korea was soon
engulfed in a civil w*r, and...
We used that w*r as an opportunity
to become a financially
strong country
with great power
North and South Korea untied
to become a new nation
with a strong economy and military
Korea became a
new icon in Asia
It was then that a movement
to try and regain the land that
used to be ancient Korea started
You may not know this, but Manchuria
used to belong to ancient Korea
Of course, the Chinese government
would never begin to consider that
but we managed to organize
a joint research project between
Korea, China, and Japan
But the strangest thing
was uncovered in the process
That artifact held the secret†
about a doorway in time
Fortunately, our research
team found it first
and immediately sent it
to our organization
That was the temple stone
And the Lunar Soul is the key
that can open the doorway of time
We wanted to erase the
bitter defeat of the Pacific Ware
and the bombing of Hiroshima...@
An extreme right-wing organization
in Japan sent an assassin
named "Inoue" to change history@
October 26, 1 909...
Inoue went back exactly
and stopped Choong-Kun Ahn
from assassinating Ito in Harbin
That was the starting point of
our unfortunate history...h
Aren't you curious
how history could be
changed by only one man?
Because Inoue had
come from the future@
He knew what would happen
for the next 100 years
This our great secret and
the Inoue Foundation has kept
the temple stone completely
hidden until now...u
The Hureisenjin, judging from
their actions
obviously know this
But there is no way
they could know...@
When the door of time
was about to close
a female
researcher was drawn in...7
She didn't realize until later—
what had
happened to her"
She told her story
to a resistance group
They are the Hureisenjin of today
I know it sounds unbelievable
I thought so too at first...[
But for the past 1 00 years
many comrades have fought and
lost their lives for
this unbelievable fact
Your father was
one of them...@
We are trying to right
this warped history
We believe the temple stone will@
cross the Sea of Japan tomorrow@
This is our last chance
in this distorted history of ours
to erase the pain and sorrow
we have had to suffer
This is our only chance
We have endured decades
of humiliation for this day
After tomorrow
if our efforts end in failure
this perverted timeline will
continue and the truth will be silent
forever in disgrace
We cannot afford to
lose this opportunity
If we can't stop them
the tragedy of losing the w*r
and the atomic b*mb
will be repeated
The house of Yuriko
is no exception
Yuriko and Keiko
would not exist
Most importantly
How could we stand
the Koreans challenging us?
If I pass through the door of time
will I be able to come back?
The moment you pass through the door…
you can never come back
You want me to believe that
Do you actually believe that?
On what grounds?
You think
your father believed it?
And those people over there?
It would probably
hard for anyone
to believe it, like you nowº
But we realized somethingº
Whether you believe or not
is not important
Look at that kid
Like you, he lost his father
Min-Jae!
Do you think he understands
what his father was trying to do?
Things like independence
and liberation?
But Min-Jae is proud of his father
He trusted his father
He trusted that the things
his father did were rights
He trusted his father's beliefs@
Min-Jae will always remember
He believes his father's promise
that he will come back
That's his hope
If someone were to take
that hope away from him
what could we do for him?&
Where is it?
What do you mean?
The Hureisenjin hideout
This is just a bar...
What?
Search!
You take the second floor
Okay. Move out
What is it?
It's all
because of that bastard
He brought them here
I should have k*lled him earlier
- Min-Jae!
- Min-Jae, Watch out!
Are you trying to get
yourself k*lled?@
This way
Quick!
There's no time to lose
No. You have to come with us
We split up now doesn't mean
we'll never meet again
Sir!
There's nothing
left for me to do
The rest is up to you
Take Myung-Hak and go!
What are you doing? Agh!
Myung-Hak!
I'm counting on you
Good-bye!
You bastards!
Goodnight!
Goodnight!
Miss Keiko!
Goodnight, Daddy!
Goodnight, Keiko!
Yes, I see!
I'll see you
Be careful!
Busan Port, Pier 1
Searching!
Congratulations!
Thanks!
No!
Sakamoto!
I can't let you go¸
I can't let you rewrite
Japan's history
Don't try to stop me, Saigo
This is the nation that many
have died to regain,
I don't want to lose it again
Sakamoto!
sh**t, Sakamoto!
One of us has to die!
sh**t!
Now, sh**t!
Sakamoto!
If you don't sh**t
I will!
Sakamoto!
Excuse me...
Memorial Hall
These people are the ones who gave
their lives to reclaim our country
Without them
you wouldn't be here
Everyone knows the great independence
fighters AHN and YOO, right?
Yes!
