01x09 - Episode 9

Post by bunniefuu »

I hereby order all policemen

under the Japanese Consulate General

in Myeongjeong, Gando!

Enter the police station

and sh**t those rebels to death!

Immediately subdue the Joseon-born rebels

who are illegally occupying the property

of the great Empire of Japan,

and sh**t them to death!

That is the way

of the great Empire of Japan

and the way to repay His Majesty

for His grace upon us!

All troops!

Charge!

Charge!

Why aren't you going?

Why aren't you charging in?

You saw for yourself

how fierce they are, Mr. Yamada.

We don't want to die!

Are you betraying His Majesty's grace?

All of you!

Are you betraying His Majesty's grace?

Go!

All of you! What are you doing?

Are you betraying His Majesty's grace?

Then you lead the way, Mr. Yamada.

You owe His Majesty

more than any of us, don't you?

Actually,

I don't owe him that much, you know.

I have never even seen him.

All troops! Stand by for now!

Yoon, we don't have many g*ns.

We can't hold out for long like this.

Seon-bok.

Do you have any ideas?

You've lived here longer than we have,

so you know this place better.

Talk to me.

Well, yeah, I do know a way

No. It's too reckless.

When that b*stard Jang Ki-ryong returns

we will all die.

Rather than waiting for them

to come and hack us into pieces

Yoon,

we should try and do something,

even if it is reckless, don't you think?

So tell us, Seon-bok.

What way are you talking about?

Well,

one of us has to get out of here first.

There is a wagon behind my inn.

If we can bring it over here,

we can end all of this in one shot.

What is in that wagon, exactly?

Come on. Stop hesitating

and give us more details already.

It's called a Maxim machine g*n.

I paid the Czechs a lot of money for it.

It's k*ller. You can trust me.

But to go and get it amidst all this,

you need someone

nimble-footed, agile, and swift

who can dodge all the b*ll*ts

raining down on them!

What?

Why are you looking at me like that?

You're making me nervous.

sh*t. He has to be a good sh**ter too.

f*ck.

Mr. Yamada,

shouldn't we at least do something

at this point?

Like charging in

or delivering concentrated fire.

Superintendent Ōoka

would have definitely done that.

What are you saying?

Are you saying that I'm not as good

as Superintendent Ōoka right now?

It's still not too late.

Tell me if it's too much. I can go.

Oh, it's fine.

I don't know about anything else,

but I'm better at running than you are.

Be careful and take this.

Just in case.

Why bother? I can't even use it.

It would only weigh me down.

Keep it. I'll be back in a flash.

I'm going now.

Stay safe, all of you. All right?

Why does that f*ck talk

like he's heading to his own death?

That was f*cking close.

Mr. Yamada!

Shut up!

Stand by for now!

Stand by!

Shut up!

Oh f*ck.

Mr. Yamada!

Damn it!

Catch that guy!

Quickly! Go and catch him!

It's just one man!

I f*cking missed again.

Are you kidding me?

How do I use this?

I nailed the stance though.

This is driving me nuts, damn it.

It's way too quiet.

Do you think something's happened?

What do you mean, "something's happened"?

Are you saying Choraeng-yi

went out there and died or something?

Why would you even say

something like that?

I'm just worried, that's all!

Stop it, both of you.

Let's hope the silence means all is well.

That's all we can do right now.

Mr. Hashimoto,

bring all the b*ll*ts we have left.

What will you do with them, Mr. Yamada?

We may be really scared,

but we also have a lot of b*ll*ts.

We're going to fire from here

until they're all dead.

Go and get them.

Quickly!

Yes, sir!

f*cking hell!

What is this?

This is k*ller.

I can see Myeongjeong

in the distance, General!

k*ll them all as soon as we get there!

Get ready!

All troops! Take aim!

For His Majesty the Emperor,

don't spare any b*ll*ts

Hey!

Have you eaten yet?

Eat the hell out of this, you f*ck!

Choraeng-yi!

Keep your heads down!

Guys!

Are you okay?

Oh, it's hot!

-What the heck?

-Choraeng-yi!

Choraeng-yi. Choraeng-yi's here!

Mr. Choi!

Yoon! I'm here!

What did I tell you?

I told you I can do this!

Why aren't they coming out?

Did they all die

I said I'm here!

I'm here

Oh no! Did they all die?

Yoon!

f*cking hell! Did you not hear me?

Hey, you son of a b*tch!

Hey, you f*cking son of a b*tch!

I thought you were dead!

What's wrong with you?

Why the hell are you crying?

You saved all of us.

Good work, Choraeng-yi.

Sure. Can you get this guy off me?

Let go, man!

Mr. Choi!

Choraeng-yi

Good work.

You

uncivilized Joseon dogs

Now, let's get out of here

before Jang Ki-ryong arrives.

We also have to check up on Nam-chun.

Okay.

Let's hurry, everyone.

Before we go,

since this has happened,

can't we do the same to them too?

What do you mean by that?

Duh. I'm saying we should give them

a dose of their own medicine.

Oh, it won't take long.

Not at all.

SEDITIOUS PERSON

Nam-chun

Nam-chun.

SONG OF THE BANDITS

I kept thinking about it

on the way here, Major.

I don't think they'll k*ll us.

They'll wrap it up with a little t*rture

or a few dozen whippings.

Don't you agree?

I won't let harm come to you

and the other men, so don't worry.

Really? Thank you, sir!

I'll trust and follow you till the end!

It hurts.

Oh, I'm sorry, sir. It hurts, right?

I'll be back in a while, so stay put.

Yes, sir.

If he's too harsh on you,

just pretend you don't understand.

Keep saying, "Nani?"

I plan on using Jang Ki-ryong,

the mounted bandit.

If things go according to plan,

the Fengtian Clique will not be able

to obstruct our military activities.

The same goes for the Chinese government.

I will carry it out without mistakes

and live up to your trust.

Thank you.

You drove your unit into annihilation

and returned alone.

Coward.

I have no excuses, sir.

I will humbly accept

any punishment you decide on.

I would love to punish you, but I cannot.

Governor-General Saito

has requested that you be spared.

How nice to be the son of the Minister

of Foreign Affairs of the Korean Empire

and have the Governor-General

personally step in to save your life.

Take your stupid subordinate with you

back to Gyeongseong.

You are under probation until summoned.

DECIMATION CAMPAIGN

AGAINST SEDITIOUS JOSEON PERSONS IN GANDO

I've been looking everywhere for you.

Mr. Choi.

Il-sik says he looked around Myeongjeong

and the surrounding areas,

and it was deathly quiet,

like a frozen lake.

I suppose we don't have to worry much.

We destroyed Myeongjeong

and k*lled the Japanese consul and cops.

We should worry, even if it is quiet.

If something were to happen,

wouldn't it have happened already?

I bet they can't find our village,

so don't worry too much.

Go to Hanseong in the meantime.

What do you mean?

You'll never be able

to see your hometown from here.

Hurry over and go see for yourself, kid.

I know you're here all the time

because that lady is still on your mind.

I can't go anywhere right now.

I have to protect the village.

My goodness.

Nothing's going to happen to us

just because you're gone, so listen to me.

You have had

your fair share of responsibilities

and have done all you can.

So take it easy now.

If you keep living like that,

you will break your shoulder

from carrying that burden.

I don't mind carrying the burden

for my family.

But she is certainly on my mind.

My goodness, the wind is chilly.

I'm fine. Let go.

Take a look at this!

Look! I was right, wasn't I?

Look here.

Seon-bok, 30 won. Byeong-pal, 100 won.

That's a 70-won difference, right?

I told you I'd seen it.

Why would you doubt me?

This is for real!

How did this happen?

This a*s did nothing,

so how is his bounty 100 won?

It's 100 won because I did many things.

It's not right to belittle my efforts

just because you didn't see it, boss.

You're one funny b*stard!

Say that again, you as*h*le!

I'm running out of money,

hiding out like this.

Should I hand you over and make 100 won?

Do you wanna see me try?

No, ma'am. I apologize.

Hey, see how much is on me.

I mean, my bounty should be,

like, 800 won, right?

What are you on about? You don't have one.

Oh, that f*cking son of a b*tch!

What kind of horseshit is that?

Let me see.

I

risked my life k*lling

all those Jappos. sh*t!

Sorry to tell you this right now,

but mine's 1,000 won.

1,000?

You f*cking son of a b*tch.

You got with the Jappos, huh?

Did you bribe them or something?

Nonsense!

Oh, I see what's going on!

That's why yours is higher than mine!

For heaven's sake! You're fighting again?

Why would you even bother

looking at stuff like that? You rascals!

When will you ever grow up? Just when?

How much am I?

Mr. Choi's bounty is 2,000 won, dude.

-k*ller, huh?

-What?

f*ck this sh*t!

That gramps shoots arrows!

He barely k*lled anyone, damn it!

Oh my, Yoon! You're looking sharp.

You're not turning yourself in, are you?

I'm going to Gyeongseong for a while.

Gyeongseong? Why are you going

Oh my gosh.

Wait, are you going to go meet that girl?

No, I'm just going to pay her

a quick visit and come right back.

Don't worry about us. Have a safe journey.

I'll be back soon,

so keep the village safe while I'm gone.

All of you. All right?

What is there to keep safe?

It's so peaceful every day

that everyone's getting fat.

Hurry up and go. Don't worry about us.

I'll get going, then.

Bye.

Yoon. You have to be careful.

They put a 6,000-won bounty on your head.

Your face! Cover your face outside, okay?

Does that even make sense?

Why don't you hand it down

as a family heirloom?

Where is Lee Yoon going?

His hometown.

He's off to meet his hometown.

What does that mean?

Oh, 2,000 won?

Wow, isn't she expensive?

Even I want to catch her.

The village you see over there

is Yongchun.

Should we begin?

The Joseon-born rebels are running amok.

So I plan on taking this opportunity

to completely wipe out

all the rebels active in Manchuria.

To achieve that, Jang Ki-ryong,

I'm going to need your forces.

Repay your debt to me.

I let you live last time

when you attacked the armored truck.

What's your plan?

I know you can't deploy your men

to Manchuria right now.

How do you plan on wiping them out?

Due to diplomatic issues with China,

Japan can't dispatch its military

to Manchuria, including Gando, correct?

Back in the day,

Jie Zhitui cut his own thigh

and fed his flesh to his lord.

Perhaps we should emulate that

for His Majesty the Emperor.

I'm Senior Inspector Nagano

of the Yongchun Consulate.

State your purpose

for bringing a large army here.

If I come to the conclusion

that you'll cause great harm

to Japan's assets and its loyal subjects,

we will sh**t you to death!

What are you doing?

Put your weapons down now and

Excuse me for a moment.

Stay still, will you?

To protect our land

k*ll them all!

Yes, sir!

40 JAPANESE k*lled IN YONGCHUN

JAPAN TO SUBJUGATE MOUNTED BANDITS

I'm back.

Hee-shin.

There seems to be a problem

with the electricity.

You should get warmed up first.

It's jujube tea, your favorite.

Thank you.

I appreciate it.

DECIMATION CAMPAIGN

AGAINST SEDITIOUS JOSEON PERSONS IN GANDO

Aren't you curious?

Why I came back after only a few weeks

when I had asked you to wait a year

and what happened to my hand.

Even though I was curious,

I was going to wait

until you were ready to tell me, Major.

In the past few weeks

a lot of things happened.

Around the time you left for your trip,

I found out that my uncle

had joined the rebel forces.

I also learned that,

under my uncle's orders,

someone was delivering

independence funds to Changchun.

I wanted to catch the carrier myself.

But it wasn't as easy

as I thought it would be.

The carrier slipped through my hands

while my unit was almost annihilated.

And I've become a soldier

who can't even sh**t a g*n.

I am a soldier who disgraced His Majesty

and, compared to you,

a hopelessly inadequate and foolish man.

Yes, that's what I am.

An incompetent and foolish man.

Go!

Will you still

marry a man like me?

I promised, remember?

I'll only love you

for the rest of my life.

I contacted you

once I heard you were in Hanseong.

Thank you so much

for making time to meet me, sir.

You risked your life to deliver

the independence funds to Gando.

It's only right that I should.

So, what did you want to see me for?

I have intel that needs to be

relayed urgently to the comrades in Gando.

Relaying it won't be a problem, but

are you sure of its sources?

Yes. It's inside information

from Nanam's 19th Division Command.

It says that within a few days,

a decimation campaign will begin

against seditious Joseon-borns in Gando.

The Japanese main forces will cross

over the Duman River and attack Gando.

That's not possible.

Japan can't dispatch

its main forces to Gando

due to diplomatic issues with China.

Jang Ki-ryong, a Manchu mounted bandit,

raided the Japanese consulate in Yongchun.

You heard the news, right?

Senior Inspector Nagano died there,

including 39 other Japanese people.

This led the 19th Division

to meet with the Fengtian Clique.

The loyal subjects of our great empire

died on your lands!

The Japanese Army

will take care of this matter ourselves.

And what happened?

It's obvious

since Japan had a pretext for its actions.

All right.

We'll go with what you said.

I'll allow military activities

of the Japanese Army in Manchuria.

However,

if so much as

a single Chinese person dies,

then it will be w*r!

Employ a pro-Japanese mounted bandit

to attack his own country's consulate.

Use that as an excuse to obtain rights

to execute military operations in Gando.

Then send a large army to annihilate

the Joseon people in one swoop.

Is this their plan to decimate

the seditious Joseon-borns in Gando?

Yes.

Now tens of thousands of Japanese troops

will head over to Gando

and k*ll all the Joseon people.

If we do not prepare thoroughly,

there will be serious harm.

Let's talk outside.

GYEONGSEONG

Many would say that we should leave Gando

to avoid the decimation.

It's impossible for the Independence Army

to beat the Japanese Army as of now.

Please don't give up

and fight until the end

for the countless compatriots in Gando.

I will join you shortly.

Do you plan on quitting

the Government-General Office?

I've given it much thought,

and it's for the best.

I plan to gain information

from the 19th Division

and deliver it to you.

That's too dangerous.

What if you get caught by them?

I've lived as an independence fighter

and a daughter of a pro-Japanese nobleman

for over 20 years.

I'll be all right.

What's wrong, Ms. Nam?

That's the man from Mount Cheonbo

Perhaps he's here for you.

Neither he nor I

should be tied down

by our personal feelings.

Only then

can we bring forth the world

that we both want.

Please stay alive.

You must stay alive for as long as I live.

When we meet again

please tell me your name.

I don't care if it takes two or 20 years.

Let's stay alive

and meet again.

Oh, welcome.

-I'd like some flowers.

-Flowers?

I'll stay alive

and come find you, Hee-shin.

What?

Hee-shin met up

with an independence fighter?

Yes, sir.

So you're saying

she took the information she stole from me

and gave it to the Independence Army?

Yes. I heard everything, master.

It sounded like

she had helped transport

the independence funds to Gando

I'm the f*cking idiot here.

I'm the idiot.

I only trusted and loved her.

But I knew nothing.

Even when I went to catch

the independence fighter

who was meeting with Jang Seok

Hee-shin.

Even when she told me

about a random business trip to Gando

It was scheduled at the last minute,

so I didn't have time to tell you.

I had no idea she was one of them.

I believed everything she said.

No wonder Uncle kept his mouth shut

until the f*cking end.

How amazing.

Just amazing.

Some f*cking amazing

independence fighters they are!

I hate to bring this up right now,

but shouldn't you report her first?

Since it seems certain that

she took part in the Independence Army,

even though it's someone you love,

I think you should report her

Don't you dare run that mouth of yours.

I'll do as I see fit, whether I report her

or take her as my wife.

Keep this in mind.

We are the only ones

who know about this, Park.

If anyone else finds out,

I'll consider it as proof

that you spilled the beans,

and I'll rip you, your kids,

and your wife into pieces.

Understand?

Yes, sir.

I will keep that in mind, master!

Take this and get your kids

some nice food.

And Tae-ju will be here in a bit,

so piss off.

Yes, sir.

Excuse me.

BLOCK 2, MAIN DISTRIC

DAESEONG MYEONOK, 1:00 P.M.

-Hello.

-A bowl of noodles, please.

It's nice to see you here, of all places.

Have you been well?

People like us should not be doing well.

Let's have a meal together.

Thank you.

Why did you want to see me?

I found it odd that the man who jumped

into the fire to save his family

was now in Hanseong.

You don't know what's going on, right?

About what's happening in Gando right now.

The decimation campaign

against the seditious Joseon-borns

in Gando will soon begin.

The decimation

against the Joseon-borns in Gando.

What is that?

Katayama of the 19th Division

and the pro-Japanese bandit,

Jang Ki-ryong, came together to wipe out

the Independence Army in Gando.

It's clear that countless Joseon people

will be injured and k*lled

since no one has a tattoo on their head

saying, "I'm an independence fighter."

So, something like

the Militia Annihilation Campaign

that took place 11 years ago

is now going to happen in Gando?

Yes.

I understand why you have come

all the way to Gyeongseong,

but in this day and age,

we cannot be tied down

by our personal feelings.

We must erase all longing and affection

we may have for someone.

Only then can we bring forth the world

that we want, can we not?

The train from Gyeongseong

to Wonsan is departing now!

All aboard!

We are ready, General.

Please give us the command!

Move out.

Yes, sir!

I will make you happy

for the rest of our lives.

All troops!

Onward!

Drench Gando in blood.

k*ll them all!
