Those useless fools...
They didn't just kill an ordinary man.
All the precious intel his head was
filled with died along with him.
He was killed,
but you survived in his place.
Am I making myself clear?
The military police should be
questioning you by now.
I doubt you even realize what kind of
place their investigation room is.
Guilty or innocent, once you're taken
in there's no coming out of there.
Are you really going to shoot me?
If they hear any gunshots,
you'll be dead as well.
But at least I'll get rid of you!
You're not going to!
Stop!
Stop there!
Stop or I'll shoot!
Stop!
Stop!
Stop!
Fire!
- Eight Route Army Command -
Yenan, China
It's been quite a while.
When was it again,
the last time we met?
- Back in Chongqing.
- Right. Chongqing.
I see you're starting to
get old as well.
I've been hearing about you ever since.
Same goes for me.
You've built quite the reputation.
So what is it that you're doing here?
It hasn't changed a bit since then.
And that is making sure the entire
world becomes one big family.
One where everyone is equal, and
oppression becomes a thing of the past.
So you make people commit murder
for the sake of such ideals?
How can you make impressionable young
men kill fellow compatriots just like that?
Seonsaengnim!
Daechi... He's the reason I'm here.
Let me see him.
And what would you accomplish with that?
I'll teach him right from wrong,
for starters.
I gave him my word.
What capitalism, communism and
other such ideologies are all about.
Talk like that in here, and I'm afraid
I won't be able to protect you.
Am I making myself clear?
You talk of equality and
freedom from oppression,
and yet the slightest hint of criticism
makes you mock those very ideals.
I just don't want to see
you get hurt over it.
If an old fool like me had to keep his mouth
shut in fear of the consequences,
who would ever tell the truth?
You came all the way here
just to say that?
Daechi is my son-in-law.
If I can't even show my son-in-law
the path he should take,
what would be the use
of all my ideals?
Let me meet him.
Then, is your daughter called...
Yeook.
Did Daechi talk about her?
- He's not supporting the Japs.
- Then, what...
But he's not on our side, either.
Are you going to educate him?
He's not someone you can educate.
The opposite is more realistic.
And since he's now aware of our position,
we can't just let him go.
So what would you like to do?
- Kill him!
- Reactionaries deserve death!
Keep digging!
- Serves him right!
- Kill him, he's an enemy!
Here, have some water.
Can anyone here speak my language?
- Mr. Mao... Let me meet Mr. Mao.
- Come on, drink.
I'm from Joseon!
- Kwantung 58th Army Command -
Jeju
I'm Captain Miura.
My name is Suzuki.
I'm with the Gyeongseong Police
Department's crime division.
I've been notified, but I'm afraid
we won't be of much help.
That's because this case will be
handled by the military police.
They'll soon get their hands on him.
We're ransacking the whole place
all the way to Hallasan.
Hey, look here!
This doesn't look like damage
done by the air raid?!
In that case, there would be at least
some damage to the outer walls.
Ahh, that...
You got that right.
And those bastards managed
to time it with the air raid.
So I guess they knew the
air raid was coming...
If acquiring those files was
important enough to risk their lives,
there must be someone
eagerly awaiting them?!
They won't get out of Jeju for sure.
We are searching every single boat
in the area, so there is no way.
But I've heard the air raid took out most
of our naval defense capabilities...
Detective Suzuki!
Aigoo, pardon my imprudence.
I was just saying that if they can't get out,
maybe someone will come for them?!
If you'll excuse me.
- Jeju Police Station -
Send an urgent dispatch to all the precincts
to search every vessel in the area.
I don't want them to spare
even a little raft.
Check everything that has sailed,
how many are missing,
and whether anyone has
rented any of those boats.
We must forbid every single
vessel from leaving the area.
Here.
He's one of the two men we're looking for.
They were donning military uniforms,
so their hair will be shorter.
And bear in mind that any accolade in
this operation will result in a promotion.
If they're meeting someone,
it won't be up the mountains.
They'll do it at sea.
We're Joseon people.
Are you independence fighters?
- Anything to report?
- No, Sir.
Let's move on.
Hey, listen. Have you seen any
suspicious people around?
Should you see any,
let us know immediately.
And keep an eye on your boat,
they said they might try to steal one.
How about we move out?
You know that young lady?
Something doesn't feel right.
Then again, it's not like moving
out would help us, anyway.
Where can we go dressed like this?!
We must find a boat, but still...
I've had it with this.
First I prance around acting like
an Imperial Army major,
and now they mistake me for some
kind of independence fighter.
Doesn't look like a bad way
to go out, does it?
My childhood dream...
was to become a senior Imperial Army
officer, complete with sword and rifle.
But as far as my mother goes,
she wanted me to become an
independence fighter like my father.
He was arrested during the March 1st
demonstrations just for rejoicing in public.
I don't even remember
what he looked like,
but my mother would talk about
him day in and day out.
Telling me I should join the
movement like he did.
So I finally made up
my mind one day.
If I could get my sword and rifle
while fighting for my own country,
then I should just join the
independence movement.
What are you thinking about?
Just, you know...
Just what?
Wondering how many I've killed,
all this time.
Look what kind of people
I get to work with...
The day when killing people is
considered a huge crime will come.
One day, when these times
finally come to an end.
And our only crime is having
been born during such times.
Ajeosshi... It's me.
Soonae.
He's my grandfather.
I brought something to
treat your wound as well.
Your arm, Ajeosshi.
You should get changed, for starters.
You even brought us these...
We're sorry to bother you.
It could put you in danger...
Are you looking for a boat?
- Is this boat yours?
- It is.
You know how to row?
We will find another one.
Don't!
You'd be stealing it!
What are you doing?
Grandpa!
Grandpa!!
If they find your boat is missing,
you will arouse suspicion right away.
- But if another ships disappears...
- Don't you get why I'm helping you?
You're fighting the Japs,
so you're on our side, that's why.
We are joining forces and
fighting those usurpers.
But now you steal from your own people?
What are you waiting for?
Hurry up and get on board!
A grenade!
Get up!
Senior officers of the Imperial Army!
We are the Eighth Route Army.
You are surrounded.
Your commander Colonel Nakai
is currently in our custody.
Surrender and you'll be spared.
You have our word.
- Drop your weapons and come out.
- Wait!
Wait!
Just a moment!
There are two Joseon men
among enemy forces.
He said so.
To go ahead and attack them,
if we want to kill fellow compatriots.
To all the Joseon men out there.
I used to be a student-soldier
just like you,
and now I lead the Joseon contingent
of our Eighth Route Army.
This is the chance of a lifetime,
so come out without hesitation.
Refuse to join us until the end,
and you will be punished.
Fire!
Fire!
Get up, you pricks!
Fire!
Fire!
I need a favor.
Allow me to use my sword,
and take my own life, upholding the
great legacy of His Majesty the Emperor.
Ten-hut!
Aim!
Wait!
Bring him his sword.
Take him.
Is that true?
That you attacked those Joseon
student-soldiers without hesitation?
I had no other choice.
I was told they didn't even
get time to surrender?!
I told them to surrender.
And they shot at us instead
of answering me.
You were a student-soldier just like them.
Would it be that easy to surrender?
No Joseon man ever gave
me the chance to surrender.
And in the end,
you've made a hero out of him.
It wasn't just a few men,
the Joseon soldiers you fired at.
You're responsible for killing
dozens of fellow compatriots.
You have no idea what kind of
people those Japs are, all right?
- That's the issue.
- Who's talking about the Japs?!
I was talking about the fellow
Joseon men you fired at.
If I hadn't attacked them,
more Joseon people would have died.
I was in charge!
I was the one fighting in there!
I'm saying this for your sake.
There have been several
complaints about you.
Complaints?!
I save their life and they
have the guts to complain?
We're not war machines here,
fighting is just the only choice we
have to make our ideals come true.
All those victories on the
battlefield will mean nothing...
if you can't earn the respect
and support of your men.
You've changed ever since
we left Shanghai.
You realize that?
You used to be an innocent young man,
someone who had a sense of shame.
And now I'm a ruthless
revolutionary starving for blood.
Yoon Hongcheol Seonsaeng was here.
He came to Yenan just because of you.
I reported him to party authorities.
He dug his own grave.
Did he die?
He revealed something quite
surprising about you.
The fact you're his son-in-law.
If the higher-ups learn of this,
you'll be in trouble.
So be prudent.
- Eighth Route Army Command -
Yenan, China
Did that young Chinese man
give you that watch?
Yes.
There was a message inside.
- Did he say his name was Wu?
- Yes.
He said if I found a certain Mr. Mao,
he'd know his name.
Are you sure Wu gave it to you?
Looks like he wanted to take his own
life before they captured him.
He died courageously, being fired
at by Imperial Army soldiers.
Wu was this man's son.
I'm sorry.
I just...
I'm really sorry.
He's actually grateful to you,
for conveying the news.
This is very important to us,
so what you did is truly appreciated.
It will be of help to our mission.
We owe you a great deal.
You still couldn't find out
what I asked you about?
I've heard my father was coming here.
Wait.
My father...
- Well...
- Someone here has to know him.
We're looking into it.
It's been two weeks already!
You keep me trapped in here,
and all you say is that.
Is there no one else from Joseon in here?
It's a dangerous place for
you to wander all alone.
I'll take care of finding him for you.
- His name is Yoon Hongcheol.
- Yes, I know.
Also, his photo...
I've been told news of your father.
Looks like he had some kind
of chronic disease.
Not long after arriving here, he just...
A few Joseon men buried him here.
It all happened because of those Japs,
so don't let this...
How shall I proceed?
If she asks to go, will you let her?
We have no reason to hold her here.
If she wants to go, let her.
Instead, have a few men follow her.
Yes.
Find out where she goes and who
she meets, and do it discreetly.
Something doesn't feel right.
She used to be a comfort woman
for the Imperial Army.
She couldn't have come here
without anyone's help.
There must be someone helping her.
Father... It's me, Yeook.
I'm here.
You've become a grandfather.
I got pregnant and gave birth
without even asking you.
Forgive me.
It's been hard, Father.
You can't imagine how hard.
I thought that if I could meet you,
I'd let it all go crying
in your embrace.
You have a grandson.
But his father is probably...
dead.
So I was going to ask
you to give him a name.
He doesn't even have one.
