It's my pleasure to work with you, Sato Hiroshi.
Congratulations, Captain Kimura.
Episode 9
Chongro Police Department Captain Kimura Shunji, salutes the Director.
Congratulations, Captain Kimura.
Not even the Imperial Policemen could anything about Bridal Mask.
And yet you killed him.
Talents like you must wear the uniform.
I will look forward to your achievements.
I will do my best, sir.
Chongro Police Station
He wanted to seat Lee Kang To in that very seat of yours.
Kang To?
Don't trust Lee Kang To from now on.
He is Kono's man.
What do you mean?
Kang To and I are in the same unit. The director is my superior.
Lee Kang To reported all of my actions to Kono.
And you still think they are on our side?
You're not a school teacher anymore.
You're an Imperial Policeman now.
Lieutenant. It must be a lot easier than when Capt. Kenji was in office.
Right?
You two are really, really close.
Still, a boss is a boss.
Attend-hut!
Salute!
At-ease!
As you know already, the reason for the existence of this unit is not to assist the citizens.
Keeping the order of the colonies for the Great Empire of Japan,
is the rightful duty of this unit.
Hence!
As long as I, Kimura Shunji, am in charge.
This unit will eliminate any sign of rebellion at its roots.
Stupid bastard!
What are you doing?
Why are you beating up a person?
You're just a Korean. Plus you're a taxi driver. And what? What do you want to learn?
Please! Please help me!
I want to learn swords. Let me carry water at least.
Kenji! Stop.
Sir! If you want to learn Kendo, you should go find a studio.
This is a private studio.
You can't join us unless you're a student...
I barely make a living everyday. How can I pay for a studio?
This place doesn't teach for money.
I will do laundry and clean-ups.
Please let me watch at least.
Why do you want to learn so badly?
Why do you even ask?
Get him out right now!
Guys.
No.
My brother! My brother!
The police hurt my brother.
He was taken by the police.
I'm the head of the household now.
I want to take the test to become a police officer.
They say I can get picked as long as I'm good at Kendo.
Please... Please help me!
-Two! -Two!
Thanks!
Shunji!
You can eat it.
One, two, three!
We will now start the Kendo Tournament for Police Officer Test.
It's the finals for the Police Officer Test.
It's Lee Kang To v.s. Kimura Shunji from Kyungsung Jaeil High School.
Was it for me?
Did you lose on purpose for me?
Don't get it wrong.
I just didn't want to be an officer.
I told you. I want to teach.
Congratulations.
Profile all the potential rebels and their families.
Arrest them all shortly. Understood?
Sir, yes sir!
Dismissed.
Lt. Sato.
Come see me.
How was I? Was it too harsh? Was it?
You were a school teacher yesterday.
And now you want to decimate all the rebels?
That was way too harsh.
I got here through connections.
And I was even a school teacher.
You were the man who refused to wear the uniform even by losing to me on purpose.
And now you're an Imperial detective.
It's for that girl, isn't it?
You want to save that girl.
The circus crew that you let go last night,
They are definitely related to Bridal Mask. Why did you let them go?
Goiso.
You dare to question your superior's orders?
By any chance...
-Is it personal? -You bastard!
Did you just kick me, Goiso Tadanobu?
You mad?
You caught the girl, so you deserved a reward.
But you're mad because you didn't get anything?
There's no use in talking.
I should just report to Internal Affairs.
I didn't let that circus crew and that bitch go.
Prepare the officers immediately.
We're going to the circus.
Can't you hear me?
Yes sir.
What do you mean? What do you mean that you didn't let her go?
Father knows about Mok Dan.
He let her go this time once for me. But it's not going to happen again.
I was going to do this anyway. But Goiso made me move a bit quicker.
I will be back.
It's got to be because of Bridal Mask.
They only let me go to bait Bridal Mask out.
For the Bridal Mask that they announced dead?
He's not dead sir.
Shunji said that Bridal Mask is alive.
I don't know.
Perhaps Dam Sa Ri is back in Korea.
If he is back, he will look for you for sure.
They could have let you go on purpose.
For Father?
You think he really came back?
Thank you.
He entered a school. Fortunately it's close to our hotel.
Which school?
Hey guys. Why come back so early?
I got kicked out.
I tried to lie, but it was no good.
You didn't go to the right place. You should have gone to Chongro.
I'm going to take a break and go to Chongro.
You want beef soup for lunch?
We also have Bibimbap.
This is going to hit the spot.
Look at your appetite.
They say the eater and the shitter are different.
How can you eat after telling on us last night to the police?
Telling on you? (Mumbling)
Do you know who I am? I used to be a part of Independence team.
Do you know General Shin Dol Suk?
I used to live next doors with him.
Oh yeah?
I lived the next room.
By the way... How did the Japs know about us?
Yeah! Han Gye Sun! Where were you last night?
The Japs came in right after you came back.
Hey! Do you have hard feelings toward me? Why do you always want to start it with me?
I have a hunch.
Shunji knows about us.
Also he's the son of Chief of Police.
Shunji wouldn't do that to us.
"Shunji wouldn't do that to us."
He really wouldn't.
Don't cry, Sun Hwa.
Gye Soon! You stop, too.
Yes, not all Japs are our enemies.
Oh my god?
Isn't that Shunji?
Shut up!
It's Captain Kimura.
All of Geukdong Circus crew will be on 24/7 surveillance from now on.
What's the reason? Why did you let us go in the first place then?
There is no evidence that you're working with Bridal Mask. But that doesn't mean that you don't have the allegations.
From now on, if anyone escapes or contacts someone outside without permission,
everyone here will die.
-Sgt. Goiso. -Yes sir.
Watch over the crew for 24 hours.
Yes sir! Yes sir!
So... You want to turn yourself in?
You're going to die if you go! You will die!
No! You can't go.
I can't let you go!
Shunji.
Is it because of me?
Are you wearing the uniform because of me?
Bridal Mask killed my brother.
And you knew who he was and kept it quiet.
And I wear these for you?
Don't get me wrong.
I'm wearing this to avenge my brother.
One, two, three, four. One, two, three, four.
You're good!
One, two, three, go!
Eyes!
Suck your belly in!
Mr. Bong!
Can't you dance better than that? Gosh!
He always tried to teach me stuff.
Korean nature, Korean craftsmanship, he thought that was all art.
And now he's wearing a sword and uniform.
He's grown up now.
No matter how much you try, the lives of first-class citizens and second-class citizens are different.
If it wasn't for Shunji, you would have gotten promoted.
You must have been angry.
What good is a promotion?
After my mother's death and my brother's death...
My work means nothing.
I live for today and the moment.
Now you're talking!
It's a dying era anyway!
Enjoy it! Enjoy it!
You're popular with girls.
Nara even kissed you.
Oh yeah, how do you know her?
How?
She just fells for me.
She doesn't even care about dignity or anything.
She just fell for me.
You bastard. Stop gloating.
Oh?
What are you doing here, Detective Lee?
I've never seen you at a club this early.
It's because I missed your girls so badly.
Anyone who would die for Lee Kang To?
Bingo.
Executor.
I was gravely mistaken.
You were completely rightful in appointing Kimura Shunji for his brother's office.
You're mad aren't you?
I knew you would be.
Hey! Hey!
Taro rounded up his friends and gave me these.
They are trying to do us apart with these.
Aren't they cute?
Is that why you screwed me over?
Hey!
Taro hates you.
I have to do work when I get paid.
Work! Work!
Work?
The officers are complaining.
They are reluctantly accepting it because Kimura Shunji killed Bridal Mask.
But frankly, the body hasn't even been found yet.
That's true.
What if Bridal Mask comes back?
There will be complaints from other police officers, and more importantly you will be ashamed.
Me?
Cho Doo Chi has gone missing since last night.
He's probably home with a girl.
You know that he fell for Masako and he doens't see other girls.
He didn't even come to see the Executor this morning.
Come in.
Sir, the Executor is calling.
Yes sir! I'm speaking.
You know that a mere school teacher could become the Captain of Imperial police,
only because he killed Bridal Mask.
It's all thanks to your grace, Executor.
Bridal Mask should never appear in Seoul ever again.
It's definite that Kimura Shunji killed Bridal Mask.
Bridal Mask may not be alone. There could be a second and third Bridal Masks.
The officers are complaining!
I gave a promotion that is completely radical.
What? A second and a third Bridal Mask?
Don't worry sir. You will never hear about Bridal Mask appearing again.
Good.
If I ever heard such news again, you will have to prepare yourself for the worst.
Yes sir.
Send Captain Kimura upstairs.
Did you call me sir?
If Bridal Mask ever appears again, you and I are done for.
Do you understand what I mean?
Understood, sir.
What is that?
Go! You're an officer!
Oh please.
Hey! Be careful.
Who did this?
Are you not hurt? Are you ok?
Who did this to you?
Hang on.
Aren't you Cho Doo Chi?
No... No!
I'm not!
Look at him!
Jo Gak Ryu Wang.
It's the Bridal Mask's warning against the Japs.
Bridal Mask?
Did Bridal Mask get you?
So Bridal Mask is alive?
Bridal Mask is alive?
It's Bridal Mask!
Bridal Mask!
You bastard!
Abe! Abe!
Sir!
It's him! He's the one who stole my money!
I feel good now!
All of my angers are relieved!
We even beat up the Japanese officer.
Bridal Mask! Bridal Mask!
Bridal Mask!
Attend-hut! At ease.
Attend-hut!
The guards are the face of this station.
Stand straight soldier!
Lt. Sato!
What's going on? Is something wrong?
They say Bridal Mask came out. Haven't you seen him?
Bridal Mask?
Hey! Have you seen him?
And you call yourself a guard?
Then where were you?
Mind your own business.
Do I have to report everything to you?
I knew he was alive.
Give me all the records for Bridal Mask. Everything!
Yes, sir. I will get them all for you.
Darn.
He said that he killed Bridal Mask, and he made us bribe him.
I rather die.
This humiliation!
That bastard came again.
Sir, you must be worried sick.
You must be worried, too.
Dr. Oh.
Can you leave us for a sec?
What happened?
I was kidnapped by Bridal Mask last night.
When I woke up, I was in a car.
Where were you kidnapped at? And how?
Was he alone?
What about his pack? Why did he kidnap you?
You can ask him that after he settles down.
Father!
Can you finish the Chongro deal in that state?
Of course, sir.
It's ready, sir.
If I even think I about the humiliation that I was given...
I have to pay this back!
No...
I think it's best you stay out.
Take care of yourself.
I don't want to!
I've devoted myself to Kishokai.
I will think of this as my last duty. Please entrust me with this.
Kishokai?
She's the singer for the ceremony that I told you about.
I'm Rara, sir.
Rara? Rara?
Even your name has beauty.
She's a star in Japan, too. It was very difficult to get her.
Really?
A beautiful singer like her singing in the ceremony.
Thanks to your work Countess, the ceremony will shine more than ever.
You flatter me sir.
I just did what I must as a citizen of His Majesty.
You dare to wear a Bridal Mask?
You want to die bitch?
Sorry, sir. It's my fault.
Please let her go this time.
Who are you?
We're the staff of advisors in Joseon 44th Company.
We've been watching Geukdong Circus.
Give them to us.
Joseon Company?
You have to give me the name...
You arrogant bastard.
You dare to question us as a policeman?
Even ghosts fear us.
If you let anyone know about and get our mission comprised, you will get this.
Understood?
Take them away.
You're...
Father?
Boon!
Father!
Good to see you again, Comrade Cho.
Comrade Jopo.
They are Espionage # 36.
I heard that you're funding us in Korea.
It's great to meet you sir.
Good to see you.
Comrade Cho.
Sir, we have a guest looking for you.
It's a VIP guest.
Detective Lee! Please come.
It's me! Cho Doo Chi.
Wow! Your style has changed.
I lost a very important ledger to Bridal Mask last night.
I don't know what he's going to do with the ledger. The fear is killing me.
What exactly is the ledger?
What's the big deal?
If that ledger gets in Taro's hands, I'm finished.
I would be dead like the bank employees.
Are you saying that Chief Kimura killed the bank employees?
If it wasn't Bridal Mask, then it must have been Kimura Taro.
When you came looking for me, you must have had something in your mind.
Then what's your reason for thinking that Kimura was behind those murders?
So it's...
Nevermind.
You never heard this.
I never came here.
Ok.
Cho Young Geun said that it was probably Kimura Taro that killed the bank staff.
Why hesitate now?
Send the ledger to Kono.
That will only reveal Kimura Taro's corruption.
I didn't wear the Bridal Mask to make Kono happy.
Then... What are you going to do?
First.
I have to find out how the traitors and Kimura Taro are related.
Stop crying, Father.
I'm sure Mom rests in peace now.
I didn't even know that your mother died.
I didn't even know that she was buried in Manchuria.
I'm sorry.
But Mom was always proud of you.
She said that you did what even the educated people couldn't.
My wish was that you, your mom, and I could farm in my own land.
Father.
Please let me help you.
I want to help.
Boon.
I need your help anyway.
Please let me see Bridal Mask.
Bridal Mask?
Cho said that you could be connected to Bridal Mask.
I'm not sure, but I will try.
But why Bridal Mask?
We need Bridal Mask for our plan.
If Bridal Mask helps us, we have a very good chance for success.
I will try. I will let you see Bridal Mask.
Thanks Boon.
Young Master!
You took it didn't you?
You finally recognized me?
That I'm Boon.
You finally recognized me.
But... Why won't you show your face to me?
I want to see you.
There is someone that wants to see you.
We will wait for you here before the sunset tomorrow.
Joseon Executor's Office
He wanted to take Kimura Shunji's badge off immediately. But I wanted to save his face and stopped him.
We can't have the Executor look like he was fooled by the lie of Bridal Mask being killed.
Chief Kimura.
Shouldn't you assume responsibility for this?
How do you want me to assume responsibility for it?
Sato Hiroshi.
Sir.
Shouldn't we catch Bridal Mask?
The mark on the robes that you're wearing is the lead to Bridal Mask.
What is that?
Chief Kimura!
I thought I told you right here.
Have you forgotten already?
In Seng Il Sa Dong Sa.
I have nothing to lose after having gotten here from a peasant class.
But you're a Joshu Bun born and a Tokyo University graduate.
Will you be ok?
Sato Hiroshi.
Arrest Kimura Taro immediately.
As the Director of Joseon Executor's Office Military Division, I order his immediate arrest.
Take him to the interrogating room immediately.
Right now!
Take him away.
Father...
Even after taking the meds that you gave me,
I can't sleep no matter how many I take.
Honey, Honey?
His insomnia came back after Bridal Mask came back.
Honestly, I have fear every morning, too.
When I see Cho Doo Chi getting hurt like that.
What? What happened to Cho Doo Chi?
Didn't you know?
How can you not know?
Son!
My son! My son!
Tell me everything.
Everything!
Bridal Mask put Doo Chi in the Chongro market place naked.
Naked?
With his hands and legs tied, and mouth gagged.
He's given to the Koreans as a sacrifice.
For them to beat him and humiliate him.
I can't believe it! Heaven shall place punishment upon him.
What has Cho Doo Chi done wrong?
Count! Kimura Shunji wants to see you urgently.
Kimura Shunji?
I think you're the only one who could help my father.
I came here for your help, sir.
What? Did something happen to Kimura?
Father was arrested this morning by Director Kono.
Arrested?
Kono? Kono?
He arrested Kimura?
For what?
There has to be a reason to arrest the Chief of Police.
He must have been held responsible for Bridal Mask coming out.
Yes, sir.
Kono believes that Father has a lead to Bridal Mask.
The only one who is superior to Kono is the Executor.
You must help him.
How can Count families meddle with politics?
Don't worry.
Have you seen a warrior that fights the enemy without his weapons?
Captain Kimura, don't worry about a thing and go back.
Chief prepared something beforehand in case something like this comes up.
Who is it from?
Countess has an urgent message for you.
Speaking.
I need your help, Rara.
The amazing beast Bridal Mask is back.
You dare to write such an article?
You didn't have to write this!
Everyone knows about it in Seoul.
If I don't write this, then they will just say that the press is manipulated.
Stupid!
Sir!
Executor!
Rara!
President Park! You can leave.
Yes sir.
Hurry up!
-Rara! -Executor!
Rara! What's wrong?
What happened?
Executor, my father... He...
You! You arrest Taro?
Bridal Mask came back! He's back!
The supposedly dead Bridal Mask came back. But he still wouldn't talk.
But you arrested him? Is he a criminal?
Then you want me to just watch him break orders?
Hey! He's the Chief of Police!
I know a girl who follows Taro like his mother.
I will find out through her.
Let him go first.
A girl?
Who is she?
Hey...
You're not going to fool around again, are you?
Hey! What are you talking about?
My father-in-law, brother-in-law, and my uncle!
How will I mess around with all of them watching?
No! I'm not!
Fine.
You take responsibility for this.
You have to find out.
Ok.
I will make Kimura Taro quit.
You take it easy.
Fine.
You won't speak anyway.
Why don't we talk about something personal?
Why do you hate me so much?
Is it because I'm Korean?
But...
I'm Sato Hiroshi.
I haven't thought that I was Korean ever since I became an Imperial Police Officer.
Only when you show your hatred towards me,
I become reminded that I'm Korean.
Please acknowledge me.
I wear the same uniform as you.
You're going to be on my side?
I want to be loyal to you and Director Kono.
Don't use the word "loyal" for your ambitions.
Had it been America that conquered Korea instead of Japan,
You would have become "John" or "Michael."
Even after my death and before my death, I will always be, Kimura Taro.
Director Kono gave his order.
Let's go, Father.
Lee Kang To... You dare to put handcuffs on my father's hands?
I won't forget that.
All of the victims of Bridal Mask were Kishokai members.
Please allow me to join the organization.
You're not ready yet.
We must catch Bridal Mask.
I will become the bait to catch him.
I will become Kishokai and become his target.
I can't bear to hear the rumors of me stealing this office with the lie of killing Bridal Mask.
I will catch him and get Kono's apology.
Chongro Police Station
As you all know, I'm in this office for the credit of killing Bridal Mask.
But on the day I received the appointment, the allegedly dead Bridal Mask came back.
If you can't personally acknowledge me, speak now.
Good.
I swear on the name of my brother who was killed by him.
Bridal Mask will be killed at my hands.
We just need to make someone Bridal Mask wants to kill.
He will come back to Doo Chi for sure.
Perhaps, you and I could never have become friends.
Thank you for staying alive.
Thanks to you, I found out who you were.
What? Pay fine for stealing?
He told everyone. Everyone who loaned money will be kicked out right now.
Bridal Mask will come out tonight.
-Will you be ok? -I already started it.
We have to see to its end.
Ready! Go.
