[100 DAYS OF DECEPTION]

PREVIOUSLY ON

[No-ma] When you save up enough,
will you really go to America?

[Ga-kyung] I'm going to leave Joseon,
no matter what.

Who's here?

[man] It's the inspector general
of the Government-General of Joseon.

[Philip in Japanese]
Nice to meet you. I'm Yoo Philip,

Keijo correspondent
for the American WWP News Agency.

- [in Korean] What's the matter?
- My bag…

[in Japanese] We'll be conducting
a brief inspection. Form a single line!

- [Hideo grunts]
- [Ga-kyung in Korean] Ah!

- I'm sorry.
- [in Japanese] I'm sorry.

[Shinichi] Someone stole your wallet?
Was there something important in it?

Not really.

[in Korean] Isn't it a pawn ticket?
"Sin Tae-jin."

[Philip] The bag…

What do we do?

If the thief finds what's in there
and something happens,

we can only hope nothing happens
until next Thursday.

A b*llet?

[So-ran] I deliberately
approached and married

an American who knew nothing in Shanghai
and came to Gyeongseong

to assassinate Sato.

[in Japanese] Thank you for preparing
such a nice meal tonight.

[in Korean] I'll give the b*ll*ts back.
Just give me 60 won.

So it's you. The pickpocket.

That's all I have now.

Wait here quietly,
and I'll get the rest later.

I didn't expect to see you here.

My wallet.

I'd like it back.

[policeman in Japanese] Are you expecting
a cake from Itsukoshi Department Store?

[gasps]

[Seok-jung in Korean] Make a sound,
and you'll die first.

- [gasps]
- [g*nsh*t]

[in Japanese] Father, stay inside!

[So-ran in Korean]
His name is Keum Seok-jung.

I wanted nothing more than
to find him and k*ll him.

He's my husband.

[Seok-jung] The protest in this village

was all me.

[in Japanese] sh**t.

- [screams, in Korean] No! [Gasps]
- [g*n fires]

We had our daughter
after ten years of marriage,

and that's how I lost her.

In that moment,
when I had to call her something…

Keum Seo-hee!

Seo-hee…

Was my daughter's name.

[Shinichi in Japanese]
I'll report to the governor-general

that the Gugukdan was behind the attack.

They've been a thorn in our side
for years.

We'll use this chance to wipe them out.

- [in English] Where did you learn English?
- I was a housemaid

at an American missionary's house.

[in Korean] There's an opening
for an interpreter trainee

at the Government-General.

I'll send you to America.
Work at the Government-General.

You want me to be a spy?

[So-ran] Infiltrate the Government-General
as a spy and work for us.

[Ga-kyung] After three months,
send me to America.

[So-ran] Sato Hideo is not
the inspector general's real son.

He's his adopted Korean son.

He graduated from
the Imperial Japanese Army Academy

and works for
the Government-General of Joseon.

Keep your guard up around him.

[in Japanese] Good morning.

I'm Keum Seo-hee,
the new interpreter trainee assigned here.

[in English] Think the Government-General
is a place for games?

[So-ran in Korean] I don't
completely trust her. I shouldn't.

But Ga-kyung will do fine.

[grunts] There.

[Philip] Get the
inspector general's schedule.

Give it to the man
with the lemon in his teacup.

[in English] Thank you. Arigato.

[Philip in Korean] But she'll definitely
put us in danger.

[Ga-kyung humming]

That was easy.

[humming]

- [g*n clicks]
- [man in Japanese] Freeze.

[in Korean] You're a spy, aren't you?

Keum Seo-hee.

No, I mean,

Lee Ga-kyung.

[tense music playing]

[Ga-kyung gasps]

[gasping, whimpering]

- Do you know where you are?
- [panting]

This is where Josenjings die
one by one every single day.

It's been over 20 years
since Joseon came under Japanese rule,

yet Josenjings still can't face reality
and keep acting up.

Do you get it now?

You're at Jongno Police Station.

[whimpers] Why… Why am I here?

[gasps]

[man] Lee Ga-kyung.

A pickpocket from the shantytown
in Gyodang-ri.

- Gyeongseong Station is your usual turf.
- No.

I'm…

Keum Seo-hee, an interpreter trainee
at the Government-General of Joseon.

I don't even know who Lee Ga-kyung is.

Fine.

Whatever your name is.

- [groaning]
- Tell me. Who sent you as a spy?

[groaning]

Tell me, who's behind this?

I don't know.

I really don't!

- [groans]
- Will you still say you don't know?

[in Japanese] You still don't know?
Say it already!

[in Korean] I'm not a spy!

[in Japanese] I told you,

I'm an interpreter trainee
at the Government-General!

- [groaning in pain]
- [man 2] Enough.

Will you not confess?

Fine. Then I'll tell you.

Yoo Philip.

It's him, isn't it?

Or…

Is it his wife?

[gasps]

A low-life pickpocket like you
wouldn't become a spy for independence.

[in Korean] Say it.

What were you promised
in exchange for being a spy?

[in Japanese] Speak!

Was it money?

Tell me who's behind this.

Not only will I spare your life,

but I'll give you
exactly what they promised you.

Aren't you afraid of dying?

Do you think Joseon will be liberated
if you take this to your grave?

- [panting]
- [g*n clicks]

[in Korean] I'll ask you one last time.

[suspenseful music playing]

Who's behind this?

The one behind me is…

[in Japanese] Yes. Out with it!

[in Korean] Joseon.

[in Japanese] What?

[in Korean] I'm not a spy.

If anyone stands behind me,
it's the 20 million people of Joseon.

Independence for Korea!

- [in Japanese] You b*tch!
- [g*n clicks]

[music stops]

[theme music playing]

[in Korean] You tell me.

Who is behind you?

[telephone ringing]



EPISODE 4

[sighs]

[door opens]

I knew it had to be you.

[sighs] What on earth are you doing?

How could you pull something like this
behind my back?

[Philip] I'm sorry.

I planned the whole thing.
Please forgive me.

[scoffs] Didn't you trust me
when you made me a spy?

Did you think I'd start bawling

and confess everything
if you put a g*n to my head?

[scoffs]

This is just ridiculous.

And listen.

If you're going to put on a show,
at least do it properly.

Did you think that just because
you fooled me once, you'd fool me again?

[sighs]

You know what?

I know a thing or two
about Jongno Police Station.

- [curious music playing]
- In my neighborhood,

plenty of people were tortured there
and ended up crippled.

At Jongno Police Station,
if you passed out from the beatings,

they'd hang you upside down and pour
pepper water up your nose to wake you up.

They'd pull out
your fingernails and toenails

and sear your body
with red-hot metal chopsticks.

But this place?
To call it Jongno Police Station,

it's way too simple.

Besides

[yells indistinctly]
- [panting]

[in English] Sorry. I was hungry.

Sorry. I was hungry.

[in Korean] When people
lose their tempers,

they grab whatever's handy and hit you.

But you didn't use that club.

I guess you felt bad for me, right?

Well…

And the sound of the streetcar.

[tram bell rings]

In the car,

I heard a streetcar passing nearby.

But from where you grabbed me,
no matter which route you take,

we'd never pass a streetcar
on the way to Jongno Police Station.

[Ga-kyung sighs]

And if this really were
Jongno Police Station,

why would you blindfold me?

Why bother?

Ah…

I'm being awfully kind, aren't I?

You all tried so hard,
I almost feel bad for you.

I'm giving you tips
so you do better next time.

Well then, I'm out.

You don't trust me.

How am I supposed to trust you

and risk my life and work as a spy?

So don't think this is unfair.

I'll take the advance
as payment for the beating.

Oh, about what I said earlier,
"Independence for Korea."

Don't read into it.

Like I told you,

Joseon's independence
is none of my concern,

and I don't want to get involved.

I only said that

to get your little play over with.

- [g*n c*ck]
- Get your hand off the door.

This g*n is loaded,
and I really will sh**t if you open it.

[tense music playing]

Hands off!

Put the g*n down.

Step aside, So-ran.

- [man 1] So-ran!
- [man 2] So-ran.

Put the g*n down.

Seo-hee…

Was my daughter's name.

My daughter, the one k*lled
by the inspector general.

Help us. We…

I need you.

[moody music playing]

Please don't ever keep anything about her
from me again.

Were you really going to sh**t me?

Or was it just part of the act
to win her over?

You brought up Seo-hee to her.

Was it part of your plan too?

Don't worry about her.

She's desperate to go to America.
She won't betray us easily.

That's why she must never find out.

[Ga-kyung groans]

…that there was never any way

- to get her to America in the first place.
- [groans]

[moody piano music playing]

[sighs]

[So-ran] Keum Seo-hee!

[stammers] Help me…

Seo-hee…

Was my daughter's name.

My daughter, the one k*lled
by the inspector general.

[groaning] Oh dear.

[sighs]

[door opens]

[door closes]

You don't need to keep warming that up.

Winter is almost over anyway.

It's still winter in Gyeongseong.

It's much colder than Tokyo, you know.

[Hideo groans]

What's wrong? Can't you breathe?

No, I'm fine…

Let's get you to a doctor.
I'll call a cab.

No, really, I'm fine.

It's just a passing spell.

[grunts]

All right.

If it happens again,
you have to go straight to the hospital.

[coughing]

[in Japanese] Hideo, I'm done writing.

All done?

It looks really good.

- Really?
- Yeah.

Let's write them ten more times each.

Okay.

Ah…

But…

You know…

Once I learn all the lowercase letters,

teach me Korean, please.

Hmm?

Korean.

My mom

was Korean.

But

promise you won't tell Father.

Okay.

I promise I'll teach you.

Okay.

[in Korean] What will you teach her?

I'll tell you later.

Ah, ma'am.

By any chance…

Do you know my mother's Korean name?

Her Korean name?

No, I don't. I've never heard.

Why ask all of a sudden?

The truth is…

I've been looking for her
since I returned to Gyeongseong.

[sighs]

- [gentle music playing]
- [footsteps approaching]

I'm home.

Did you have a good day?

[Hideo] I stumbled upon something
while packing our things in Tokyo.

I think it might help me find my mother.

But…

Please don't let Father know.

I won't.

- [Hanako in Japanese] Look, I did all ten.
- [Hideo exclaims]

[Hideo] What is this?

[Hanako] This is…

[Shinichi] On Kim Gu's orders,

Lee Bong-Chang attempted to assassinate
His Majesty the Emperor in Tokyo.

That bombing attempt happened
only three months ago.

And not long ago,

the Buryeongdan subversive group
captured in Hwanghae Province

was sent by the self-proclaimed government
in Shanghai to k*ll the governor-general.

[ominous music playing]

You know that, don't you?

Yes, sir.

Even the Western press

calls them "t*rrorists."

The whole world sees them
for what they are,

yet we're right here in Joseon,
and we can't even catch one fugitive.

Does that make sense to you?

I have no excuse, sir.

The fugitive from Yoo Philip's place
is still at large,

but we've raided

several independence group bases
and arrested many of them.

We're wringing information
from those already in custody.

However,

they're a tough bunch, and keeping
their mouths shut is their specialty.

I'm sorry, sir.

It's not that they're tough.

You're just too soft.

Forgive me, sir!

You've lived in Joseon for 20 years,

yet you have yet to learn
what Koreans are like.

Forgive me, sir.

Have you forgotten
what happened to the Koreans

when they cried for independence
back in 1919?

Even after seeing all that bloodshed,

they're still carrying on with
their stupid independence movement.

They just won't give it up.

Why do you think that is?

Because there's something in them
that can't be broken

by swords, g*ns, and t*rture.

And what is that, sir?

Hope.

The delusional hope

that independence will come someday.

A b*llet can k*ll a man,
and that's the end of his life.

But hope is passed down
to the next generation.

So we have to crush it completely.

Right down to the very roots. All of it.

Despite 20 years of our enlightenment,

they're still uncivilized savages.

By doing so, they'll know their place

and come under our civilized rule.

Indeed, sir.

And yet,

those pampered elites back in Tokyo
sit in luxury,

debating the enlightenment
and peace of Joseon.

Even though they've never even set foot
on this soil.

I was born and raised in Joseon.

No one knows the Koreans better than I do.

The future of Joseon will be shaped

by my hands right here.

[Fukuda] Yes, sir!
You have my absolute loyalty!

[groans]

[in Korean] We should head out separately.

[door opens, closes]

I'm off.

Damn it.

[Philip] Lee Ga-kyung.

Who?

I'm Keum Seo-hee.

I'm warning you.

If you put her in danger,
you won't be safe either.

[scoffs]

So your warning was about her,
not the Gugukdan?

Next time, I'm keeping it.

[groans]

He was a Korean orphan?

That's why he said that…

I was impressed
by your pickpocketing skills.

I was quite hopeless myself.

Ms. Keum.

Yes?

Your job description
doesn't include cleaning.

You don't give me any work,
so I was bored.

How dare I order someone like you around?

If you insist on cleaning,
that's up to you.

Make sure he knows
I didn't force you to do it

to avoid any misunderstanding.

Will do.

When will you give me
the pawn ticket back?

Oh, why bring up something
we already settled?

But you don't need the pawn ticket

until you find the pawnshop anyway.

So will you give it back
once I find the pawnshop?

Yes, absolutely.

You promise?

I promise.

You have my word.

[telephone rings]

[in Japanese] Yes, this is Sato.

Oh, the English dictionary?

Yes, I'll bring it right away.

[in Korean] Ms. Keum.

- Yes?
- Take this here.

- Ah.
- Don't take the elevator. Use the stairs.

I don't use the elevator myself.

Sure. A mere interpreter trainee shouldn't
use the elevator meant for the higher-ups.

You're the inspector general's son
and even you can't ride it?

I said I don't take it.
I never said I can't.

Ah.

PUBLICATIONS DIVISION
ISHIKAWA

Excuse me, sir.

You're still here?

Where did you say I should deliver this?

It's written right there.

What?

It's just that…

I can't read Chinese characters very well.

What?

I never got to go to school, so…

I can speak just fine,
but reading and writing are a bit hard.

Give it to me.

It's Publications Division in Korean.
In the national language…

In Japanese,

it's read "henshuuka."

- And his name is...
- Mr. Ishikawa.

Ishikawa is a pretty common surname.

I know basic Chinese characters.

Fine, if you say so.

Uh, it's on the fourth floor.

Okay.

Did you hurt your leg?

- I won't use the elevator. Don't worry.
- [door closes]

[in Japanese] I'll be on my way.

PUBLICATIONS DIVISION

[sighs]

[groaning in pain]

[in Korean] What are you doing here?

Making sure I don't use the elevator?

- What?
- [scoffs]

Unbelievable.

[exclaims]

[sighs]

Hold onto me.

[clears throat] That's okay.

Are you sure?

Yes.

[gentle music playing]

Help me.

[in Japanese] Help me!

[in English] Help me.

Help me.

[in Korean] Don't you know
the magic word "please"?

Never mind!

[groaning]

[whimpers] Sir, please let me
ride the elevator just this once.

I can ride it if I'm with you, right?

It hurts too much. I can't even walk.

[in English] Help me.

Please. [Whimpers]

[in Korean] Let's make our way down first.

[sighs in relief]

Oh, where are you going?

The elevator's that way.

You aren't allowed to use the elevator.

Even if I'm with you, I can't?

[in English] Oh, please.

[in Korean] It's because you are…

Korean.

Let's go down to the first floor.

We're going out for work.

Outside?

[bicycle bell rings]

[pleasant music playing]

Why aren't you coming?

What?

I'm coming.

HANSEONG MEDICINE CLINIC

[Hideo] Her right ankle
is a little swollen.

[woman] Please come this way.

Let's go.

[Ga-kyung] Okay.

Why are you standing there?

Either sit down or lie down.

Are you worried about the bill?

I suppose you've already spent
all the money in my wallet.

No, that's not it.

Uh…

The thing is

I've never been to a hospital
when I was sick before.

[doctor] My goodness.

All right.

What brings you in today?

[tense music playing]

Her right ankle is quite swollen.

[Ga-kyung] Right.

I sprained my ankle.

I see.

[Ga-kyung exclaims]

Aren't you going to ask how I got hurt?

Are you hurt anywhere else?

Yes.

It hurts here too.

I've got bruises everywhere.

You're the ones who beat me up!

[amusing music playing]

[gasps]

[doctor] I'll let
the acupuncture needles sit

for 20 minutes

and come pull them out
after checking on other patients.

Give her an ointment for bruises too.

Oh, it's fine. I have ointment at home.

We'll take one.

Just a moment.

Doctor! Please help my son!

[man] Over here, Doctor!

- Doctor!
- [man] Over here!

[woman] Doctor!

[man] Please take a look
at my boy, Doctor!

What happened?

Please take a look.

[Cheol-yong] "16-year-old girl honored
with the governor-general's award."

That's quite a nice drawing.

But what does it have to do with anything?

Well, the governor-general
has always attended

the Joseon Painting Exhibition himself
to present the awards.

But he is in Tokyo right now.

Then who'll present the awards?

The inspector general will.

Exactly.

The awards ceremony is at the Keijo
Imperial University Library auditorium

at 7:00 p.m. the day after tomorrow.

The day after tomorrow is too soon.

No, no.

It's not impossible.

We have to seize the opportunity
when it comes.

We still need to confirm
if Sato will actually be there.

[Cheol-yong] Hold on.
Who has the schedule?

- Pass it over.
- Okay.

[Cheol-yong] Look at the date.

There it is, the speech.

Sato will be at the awards ceremony.

This is Sato's schedule she copied,
isn't it?

It says "speech" right here.

When she first brought this to us,

we couldn't exactly trust her.

We had no idea what kind of speech
he was giving or where.

Now the same schedule is in the newspaper.

What could be more certain than this?

[pensive music playing]

This is the first piece of intel
from the girl you vouched for, So-ran.

We're doing this, got it?

- We're doing this, okay?
- Okay.

Well done.

Listen, don't say anything to her.

If she tips them off,
we're in serious trouble.

Sato.

You'll be a dead man that day.

[Cheol-yong laughing] Let's do this!

[man] Let's do it. [Laughing]

[clears throat]

[Ga-kyung sighs]
What's taking him so long?

We're nowhere near 20 minutes.

[Ga-kyung] I'm all better now.

[Hideo] Ms. Keum.

No.

Why even bother coming here
if you won't listen to the doctor?

I never said I wanted to come. [Exclaims]

[sighs] You can't just leave.

We need to keep your ankle still.
Sit down. I'll bandage it.

Interpreter trainee Keum Seo-hee.

Don't you know
what "strict hierarchical obedience"…

Right, you don't know Chinese characters.

No, I know that much.

Then write it out in Chinese characters.

If you can, you're free to go.

Give me your palm.

What?

Give me your hand.
You told me to write the characters.

My hand…

Sang, myeong, ha…

Bok.

There, "Sangmyeonghabok."

That "bok" is for the abdomen.

What?

The "bok" in the phrase means "to obey."
But what you wrote

means the "abdomen."

I know.

I got it mixed up for a moment.

I'll write again. Give me your hand.

There. Use that.

[scoffs]

[Ga-kyung] Sang.

Myeong.

Ha.

[soft piano music playing]

Do you know how to wrap a bandage?

I learned it at school.

At school?

Do they teach you
how to do this at school?

I wouldn't know, I never went to school.

When you enter the Army Academy,

the first thing they teach you
is first aid.

Oh, right.

You graduated from
the Imperial Japanese Army Academy.

By the way,

why did you become an interpreter
instead of a soldier?

All done.

Get up and try walking.

Okay.

[Ga-kyung] Hmm?

- Oh. [Chuckles]
- Is it feeling better?

Yes.

This is when you're supposed to say
"thank you."

Fine. Thank you.

I'm not lying. I mean it.

What?

About what you said yesterday.

What?

"I like you."

[soft piano music playing]

You said yesterday

that you liked me.

You claimed you weren't lying.

Don't let Mr. Yoo Philip know.

I need to keep things amicable
with Mr. Yoo Philip.

I hope you won't play dumb.

You used that
to join the Government-General.

You said I was lying.

You said you meant what you said.

Of course, you were probably lying.

But if, by any chance,
you really meant it…

Don't let Mr. Yoo Philip find out.

Here you go.

Thank you.

DISPENSARY

Here you go.

[woman] Please wait.
I'll go grab some ointment.

Hold on to me. I don't mind.

There's nowhere to sit.

Thank you.

Does he hit you?

Sorry?

Your wrists, the bruises, and ankles.

Did he do that to you?

Who are you talking…

Ah, no, it's not like that.

[Philip] Seo-hee.

[in English] Honey.

[in Korean] It's you, Mr. Hideo.

I wasn't sure it was you from behind.

I didn't expect to see you here.

Indeed.

Uh, I'm here
to get some medicine for my wife.

I hear this is an excellent clinic.

Is your wife still unwell?

Yes.

It seems it'll take some time
for her to recover.

[door opens]

[amusing music playing]

Can Seo-hee go with me from here?

Just today, if you don't mind.

Yes. I'd appreciate it.

[in English] Please.

[exclaims]

[in Korean] It was nice seeing you today.
Have a good day.

Bye.

Get your arm off me.

We're lovers. What's the problem, honey?

Son of a b*tch.

Still, this is a bit much.

Sato Hideo is watching us.

[sighs]

Why would she date a man like that?

Ah…

[groans]

Did you think bringing him there
would scare us?

Why not just go ahead and tip them off?

Look.

I had no idea that was your den.

I didn't bring him there.

He's the one who… [gasps]

- What the...
- [Ga-kyung whispers] Just stay still.

[in Japanese] Mr. Yoo Philip.

Mr. Hideo.

[in Korean] I didn't think
you'd catch us like this.

What are you doing here?

I thought you'd already left.

The ointment.

You should take it.

Right.

Thank you.

So what you're saying is,

you couldn't get around the building
because your ankle hurt.

That's why you found out nothing?

Yes.

On top of that,
someone made me leave work early.

[scoffs] How convenient.

Now you have an excuse
for your incompetence.

What did you just say?

Whose fault is it that I hurt my ankle?

All right.

I understand. It must've been hard
getting around with your ankle.

Watch how things go
until you're better for the time being.

Okay, I will.

Good night.

Ah.

Read this.

What is it?

[So-ran] Intel on the staff
at the Government-General.

The Satos aren't on it,
but it should help.

Ah. Okay.

Who put this together?

Have you ever had a spy
inside the Government-General before?

[So-ran] No, we haven't.

We've been compiling this intel
for a long time.

Okay.

- As for Sato Hideo...
- [Ga-kyung] What?

Oh.

What about him?

Did anything else happen at the clinic?

"I like you."

No.

Nothing happened.

Well…

He took me to the hospital

because he thinks I'm someone's lover.

He was probably told to be nice to me.

Right.

Well then.

Wait, Seo-hee.

[Ga-kyung exclaims]

[So-ran] I'm sorry you got hurt.

It's all right.

I've been beaten worse. This is nothing.

By the way,

you two aren't really married, are you?

But he likes you, doesn't he?

I guess you've read
popular fiction too much.

[scoffs]

I could tell from his eyes.

He can't take his eyes off you.

Married men aren't usually like that.

But then…

What about Seo-hee's father…

Oh, I'm sorry.
I shouldn't have brought it up.

You don't like calling me Seo-hee,

do you?

Oh well, there's nothing
we can do about it.

All done.

Get some sleep.

Oh, I forgot one thing.

According to the schedule you copied,

Sato is supposed to give a speech
at 7:00 p.m., Monday.

Did you hear anything else
about that schedule?

A speech?

Oh, there was that, huh?

I was scrambling to copy the schedule.

I didn't hear anything else
about the speech.

I see.

Oh! Wait…

The day after tomorrow is Monday, right?

At 7:00 p.m…

[in Japanese] Making this book
is so exhausting.

Our chief has no pull, so other divisions
get all the good time slots.

Of all the times he could've picked,
he chose that one?

If we report to the inspector general
at 7:00 p.m. the day after tomorrow,

when are we supposed to go home?

Enough dawdling!

Get in here.

[employees] Yes, coming!

[in Korean] The Publications Division

is working on a book
about the history of Joseon.

The briefing for the inspector general
is at 7:00 p.m. the day after tomorrow.

The Publications Division chief
has no influence,

so the other divisions took
all the good slots

and they're stuck with a late slot.

The staff were grumbling about it.

They said they'd never get home
if the report started at 7:00 p.m.

Are you sure?

Yes. I overheard it
when I was out on an errand.

That's 7:00 p.m. on Monday.

I suppose the inspector general

has decided to spend the whole week
getting briefings.

By the way, why?

No, it's nothing.

You look like you're doubting me.

I earn my keep.

I know. I trust you.

[gentle music playing]

[Cheol-yong] No, wait.

What do you mean?

So, So-ran, you're saying.

Sato will be at the Government-General
at the time of the ceremony tomorrow?

- Did she tell you that?
- Yes.

At the same time,

the Publications Division will give
a briefing on the Joseon history project.

The girl who won first place
in the art competition

said the inspector general
was supposed to present the award.

I confirmed it through the girl's mother.

I looked into it, and she works
at Joil Textile Factory.

The school asked her parents to attend
as the inspector general would come.

I confirmed they'd requested
a shift change at work.

The Jongno Police Station was instructed
to assign officers tomorrow

because Sato will be attending
the awards ceremony.

I overheard the police talking
while I was camping out

at the udon shop near the police station.

The Keijo Imperial University library,
where the ceremony is being held,

was told to prepare the VIP room
in the auditorium.

I confirmed it with a library cleaner.

She's the one who copied the schedule.

She said she overheard it,
but she could have heard wrong.

That's right.

[Cheol-yong] So-ran.

We know she's quick with her hands
and sharp,

but in this situation,
shouldn't you trust us?

[tense music playing]


HONORED WITH THE GOVERNOR-GENERAL'S AWARD

THE DAY OF THE OPERATION

[humming]

Hmm?

Do you have something to tell me?

Oh. Well…

You look quite busy today.

You haven't left your desk
since this morning.

Are you preparing for the report
to the inspector general?

The chief reports
for the Foreign Affairs Division.

I'm just an interpreter.

Ah. I see.

How do you know about the briefing
for the inspector general?

I don't think I mentioned it.

I overheard some people talking
in the hallway.

Mmm.

Ah, Ms. Keum.

Yes?

Try not to wander
around the Government-General.

People are watching.

There aren't many female employees here.

Okay, I understand.

Oh, it's a beautiful day, isn't it?

[chuckles playfully]

[humming]

[tense music playing]

[in Japanese] Next.

WWP NEWS

[in English] Hey, what's with you today?

Got writer's block?

[chuckles softly] No, it's nothing.

[in Japanese] That's a wrap.

DONGSUNG TEXTILES

[Cheol-yong in Korean] There's
a second floor over the drapery shop.

So-ran, wait there in ambush.

If Sato goes from the Government-General
to the Keijo Imperial University,

he has to go by Angukjeong
and pass in front of Changdeokgung Palace.

This is Ihwajeong.

Farther down,
it's a three-way intersection.

There's a straight road here.

If you take this one, it's a detour,

but you can get
to Keijo Imperial University.

So we'll block this first route

and make him take the second one.

Once Sato takes this road,

I'll follow him on a bicycle
and sh**t him.

No.

This time, I'll do it.

So-ran and the two doctors here.

They may already recognize you

or run into you again someday.

Cheol-yong, my friend.
You're the most at risk.

Your photos are posted
all over Gyeongseong.

[sighs] That photo was taken so long ago.

It doesn't look like me anymore, does it?

Don't worry. I'll be fine with a hat on.

Then I'll ride the bicycle.

You've got three kids, right?

Does your family know
you do this outside the clinic?

Not a clue.

But if they find out,
wouldn't they be proud?

I should take the bike...

Forget it.

I was known as Uhm Bok-dong
back in the day.

I'll ride the bike.

If you really want to,

you can block this first route, okay?

Okay.

HWALMYEONG

[policeman 1 in Japanese]
Detour! Turn around!

[exclaiming]

[policeman 2] What the hell are you doing?

Oh my!

- [policeman 2] Get it out of here!
- [in Korean] What a waste.

- [in Japanese] What the hell is this?
- Yes, excuse me.

What are they saying? I'm sorry.

Clean it up already!

[in Korean] Do you think I understand
a word you're jabbering?

It's your fault for blocking the path.

[in Japanese] Ah… Okay, excuse me.

What floor are you going?

[in Korean] Why are you still here?

You have nothing to do.

You never told me to go home.

You should go home.

Okay, thank you.

Bring me a photo of yourself by tomorrow.

It's for your ID
at the Government-General.

My photo?

Yes.

Is there a problem?

Oh, no.

It's just…

I don't have any photos.

Then you can ask him

to take your picture
with the newspaper's camera.

Ah. That will work.

- [in Japanese] See you tomorrow.
- Have a good night.

[door opens]

[door closes]

[in Korean] Sato is supposed to give
a speech at 7:00 p.m., Monday.

Did you hear anything else
about that schedule?

The briefing for the inspector general
is at 7:00 p.m. the day after tomorrow.

[in Japanese]
Publications Division, please.

Hello, I'm Keum Seo-hee
from the Foreign Affairs Division.

Mr. Sato Hideo lent you
the English dictionary.

Could I come by
around 7:00 p.m. to pick it up?

All right.

[telephone rings]

Hello? Yoo Philip from WWP News.

[Ga-kyung in Korean] It's me.

Where are you calling from?

What?

I'm at the Government-General.

Are you crazy? Calling me from there?

I called your house, but no one answered.

Why on earth did you call me?

Oh, it's just…

Never mind.

Hang on.

[in English] Madam asked me,
so I'm calling you. Tell her…

This evening, the inspector general
is not giving a speech.

He'll get a briefing.

He's going up to the fourth floor,
Publications Division now.

I just checked.

Is something planned
for 7:00 p.m. tonight?

[in Korean] No questions. Did you forget?

Wait…

[in English] Hello? Hel…

[in Korean] Unbelievable.

I went out of my way to call him.

I spoke to him in English

so the operator wouldn't understand,
but he didn't even thank me.

[gasps]

[tense music playing]

I see you smelled something sweet.

- Here.
- Thank you.

- [kids chattering]
- You want some too?

I can't sell these anyway. Take it.

[girl] Thank you.

You should share it!

- [boy 1] Give me some!
- [boy 2] No.

You too?

[policeman in Japanese]
He'll be here soon.

Get this cleaned up. Hurry!

[Jeong-yeop in Korean] Here.

- [boy 3] Thank you.
- Take it.

I can't sell them anyway. Here.

- Thank you.
- You should share it.

[Cheol-yong] I'm not good
at sh**ting from a distance.

I'll get up against the car window
and sh**t.

So-ran, you're great at both.

So please let me have this one, okay?

[chuckles] Come on,
let me look cool for once, please?

We're taking him down
for sure this time! Okay?

Let me get married

- before I turn 60.
- [all laughing]

[vehicle approaching]

[suspenseful music playing]

Got you.

[g*n clicks]

[breath trembling]

[g*n fires]

[g*n fires]

- [people clamoring]
- [g*nshots continue]

[in Japanese]
Where are they sh**ting from?

Where did it come from?

- [groans]
- [people clamoring]

- [g*ns c*ck]
- [g*n fires]

[groans]

[groans]

[grunting]

[groans]

[groans]

- [Young-bok in Korean] Are you all right?
- [panting]

[doctor] Get in!

[Young-bok] Let's go.

[doctor] Damn it. Get in!

Get in!

[g*n firing]

Jeong-yeop, stay awake.

You have to stay awake.

Wake up, you punk!

Jeong-yeop!

[dramatic music playing]

[car horn honking]

[policeman in Japanese] Chief!

[g*n fires]

[panting]

[grunts]

[groaning]

Over there!

Over there!

- [b*ll*ts whizzing]
- [tense music playing]

[panting]

- [panting heavily]
- [soldiers clamoring]

[panting]

[theme music playing]



[Ga-kyung in Korean] Madam.

[Hideo] After the shootout last night,

we're hunting down
the remaining fugitives.

- [Ga-kyung] Out of the office?
- [Hideo] Orders from above.

[in Japanese] I was going to call
for a Korean interpreter.

I'd appreciate your help.

[Seok-jung in Korean]
Why are you using that name?

- [Shinichi] Unless you want to…
- [Na-mo] Please let me go.

…watch your family die in front of you.

- [screams]
- [Shinichi] I suppose…

You people are insane!

[Shinichi] …this is where it ends.

[sobs]
