Kishokai members must be ready to willingly give their lives for His Majesty.
It's not loyalty by words or by heads.
It's done by swords, blood, and lives.
Kimura Shunji.
Are you ready for this?
Yes sir.
Kajama.
Make an oath by blood.
As you all know, I was appointed in this office for the credit of killing Bridal Mask.
But on the day I was appointed,
the supposedly dead Bridal Mask came back.
If you can't acknowledge me as your boss, you can tell me now.
Good.
I swear on my brother's name, who was killed by him.
Bridal Mask will die at my hands.
Sgt. Goiso.
Sir.
Track Cho Doo Chi's movements on the day of abduction.
Yes, sir.
Officer Takeda and Kao.
Sir.
Turn find out do to record.
see who and when gave Cho Doo Chi a ride.
Yes sir.
Abe.
You run when you saw Bridal Mask right in front of you?
I will take any punishment.
Abe Shinji will be demoted as a private.
You will have reduced payroll for 18 months.
I will not let down the name of Imperial Police, sir!
Pvt. Abe and Lt. Sato will watch the circus crew from now.
Sir?
Yes. Undersood, sir.
Do the best you can in your assignment.
Dismissed.
Yes sir.
Wow. Abe was right.
Security guards for the circus.
Now that Shunji is here, look what a nice turn your life is making.
Sarge!
I'm sorry about yesterday.
It was the Director's order.
Sato Hiroshi.
Do not ever enter this room without permission again.
Shunji.
Shunji?
Sorry.
Captain Kimura.
Don't you ever forget Sato Hiroshi. I'm your boss.
I will never treat you personally again.
So don't you leave me out from assignments for your personal reasons.
As of this moment, Sato Hiroshi will stay out of Bridal Mask case.
Watch the circus 24 hours until I order otherwise.
Understood?
24 hour surveillance? You don't even want me to come to the office, do you?
Yes, sir.
I thought I was going to get kicked out.
I won't even get severance payment if I get fired.
I was worried sick.
By the way, what's wrong with Shunji? I mean Capt. Shunji.
Why would he make an experienced detective be a security guard?
Stop the car.
What?
Where are you going?
You go first.
I will go after you.
Bye, sir.
Thank you.
Shunji is looking for taxis.
I think it's best that you stay out of Seoul for a while.
Everyone must be on his toes to get Bridal Mask.
Are you going to be ok?
Don't worry about me.
I'm only Lee Kang To in their eyes.
Kimura Shunji said that he will catch Bridal Mask with his life on newspaper.
He's my only friend.
When my brother was taken away, he thankfully took care of me.
Young master...
Will you be alright?
It's already started.
I have to go to the end.
It's already started.
It will only end when I catch him.
Then... You have a way to get him?
We always lost him because we pursued him after he showed up.
You want to set up traps?
We have to make someone that Bridal Mask would want to kill.
Someone he would want to kill?
Kishokai always came to the members that harassed the Koreans.
Cho Doo Chi for example,
He lied to the Koreans for high interest.
Then he took their deposits.
So he was leeching the Koreans with it.
But Bridal Mask let him live.
If he keeps on abusing the Koreans even after Bridal Mask let him live,
he will surely come to Cho Doo Chi again.
Cho Do Chi started another office in Chongro office with the name "Hirojawa Gonske."
What is the Chongro matter that you assigned him?
I have no intention to meddle with your business.
My only goal is to catch Bridal Mask.
After Cho Doo Chi sweeps up Chongro market street,
we will build Chairman Ueno's Aska Department Store.
Bridal Mask will kill Cho Doo Chi for sure.
That's so cool.
You look like someone else.
You dare to humiliate me?
I'm the master of money.
You just watch, Masako.
Watch how I destroy their lives.
Watch how I do it.
That's good.
It tastes like honey.
I've never had a drink so sweet like this.
It's better than the day I gave birth to my only son.
Seeing Bridal Mask being alive makes my stomach full.
I'm full even when I'm out of rice.
Everyone! Let's make a toast!
Good!
For Bridal Mask until the day all the Japs are taken out!
Cheers.
Letter! Letter!
You were all here.
That's good.
Bae Man Sung.
Shim Chun Bok.
Kim Duk Soon.
Here.
Bye.
Notice of Collections
What the hell is this?
Fine for possession of unlawful goods?
Goods?
What goods?
What's that mean?
Remember when Bridal Mask stole the bank's cash and gave them back to us?
What? That's our deposits that we couldn't get.
They took it back.
Every penny!
I thought it was way too easy.
Sons of bitches.
Duk Su!
Help me stop him.
Duk Su!
Duk Su! You can't.
Let go.
You can't.
Let me go!
Let go!
No!
They are asking us to pay fines for taking unlawful goods.
We pay land taxes, house taxes, and labor taxes. Market taxes, cleaning taxes, and license taxes!
They suck all our blood.
Now they are telling us to die.
No!
If something ever happens to you, I might as well die.
They took my deposits.
They take from the poor.
What did we do wrong to deserve fine?
This is unfair.
Easy loan! Easy loan!
What is this?
Loan?
Easy loan! Easy loan!
Done, sir.
Thank you.
Thank you. Thank you.
Abe Shinji! Act like an Imperial Policeman.
As you all know, because of Bridal Mask's reappearance,
the Chongro Police Department is on emergency.
From now on, Detective Lee Kang To and I, Abe Shinji, will be in charge of you.
On charge of us?
Just two of you?
You have no idea how good Lee Kang To...
Even if you were good...
We have so many!
One, two, three, four... I can't even count.
And then me.
How will you take on all of us?
Tell me exactly how.
Don't panic.
Just tell me.
I didn't mean that.
Hey! Why are you taking on advantage of this poor officer?
How is the spot where Chang Soo bite you?
Chang Soo was bitten by a mad dog a few days ago.
Yes.
Mad dog?
Yes.
But they say if you eat dog's fur fried in sesame oil, rabies will go away.
It works!
Yes!
Was he really bitten by a mad dog?
Let me see the wound.
See.
Look!
I was bitten really hard.
What about my parents and Kang To?
We're going to have to amputate your leg.
I can't die.
Mother... Mother... Mother!
Mother.
Aska Hotel, please.
He's not answering? What are we going to do?
That's not good. Dam Sa Ri will come to see you tonight.
I don't know about other people.
But Lee Kang To will recognize my father.
That's not good. I have to go to hotel then.
If you're not here, he's going to have a fit.
There is no guarantee that you will see my father at the hotel either.
I will go. I will tell him.
You're going to the hotel? No way!
That's like telling them where Dam Sa Ri is.
There are people Father came with at Kyungsung Inn.
If I tell them...
Good! That's a good idea.
You will get a hold of them.
I will have to go, sir.
Go before Lee Kang To comes here.
Where are you going?
You even packed up.
I'm not running away. So bug off.
Don't you know that I'm in charge of the circus crew?
Where are you going?
-Inn! -Inn?
I'm going to do laundry for the crew's clothes.
It's my turn today.
Let go.
Let go! I said let go!
I have to go do laundry.
Ok go! When did I say anything?
Aren't you going to Kyungsung Inn?
Didn't you hear that I will have to watch you 24/7?
It's hot.
Detective Lee. I... When I saw Mok Dan getting released...
I thought she was innocent.
Should I tell her to move out?
Sir, don't worry. I didn't do anything wrong.
He's just following me because Bridal Mask came back.
Follow you?
Oh yes, did the salesman from Incheon leave?
He went out. It's afternoon already.
My troupe leader bought him a few clothes.
Tell me when he gets back.
It's hot, isn't it?
-Song. -Yes?
No matter how desperate you are...
"Should I tell her to move out?" Don't do that!
You're fellow Koreans.
What?
Yes, sir. I understand, sir.
Fellow Koreans?
That dagger. I only came for that dagger.
Dagger? For this toy?
Why do you have this?
I gave this to Boon.
Just stay alive. As long as you're alive I will find you.
Really? Will you really find me?
Hey. Aren't you going to hurry up? What's taking you so long?
If you dare to do something funny again, I will kill you.
Move!
I thought you were a master of disguise. But you were just a maid.
Hey! How will you wash all these by hands?
Gosh.
Really?
You might as well make the sun rose from West today.
I'm a journalist that pursues the truth.
I published with risks this time.
Bridal Mask came back alive.
Of course, I should write it.
Even the newspaper under Executor's office supervision didn't say anything. But you?
Reporter Park. Were you drunk on the day of editing?
You're good!
But you have to stick to that. That you wrote it assuming all risks.
You really do look through people.
Shall we do an intimate interview?
I don't think you can get yourself out of it.
Madam?
There was a guest that wanted to give you this.
Who sent this?
Take him to the VIP room.
Who is it? Was it a love letter?
Stay out of it. She runs a club of this size at her age.
She surely has a sponsor.
Of course. It's not just one either.
Please take a seat.
I'm Tasha.
I was waiting for the day I would receive a blank sheet of letter.
I heard that I could receive the present from Yang Baek if I gave you a blank sheet of letter.
Oh, he helps me.
He can be trusted.
I'm a zealous fan of Sir Yang Baek,
who leads the Korea Secret Agency and give the Japs a hard time.
Ask me for anything.
Thanks.
You're welcome.
Chongro Police Station Blueprint
They had an expansion construction at the station a few years ago.
It was easy to get a blueprint from that.
Thank you.
Why do you need the blueprint anyway?
Comrade.
For your safety, it's best that you don't ask anything.
Yes ma'am.
Does Lee Kang To come here often these days?
Of course, he comes like a rat coming to the barn.
But why are you asking?
Comrade!
He's not trying to kill Lee Kang To is it?
God knows.
That's Lee Kang To's fate.
Sato Hiroshi.
Yes, sir.
He will come back.
Watch Oh Mok Dan 24/7.
Understood?
Yes sir.
Sir, I have to go somewhere before the sun sets.
Before the sunset? Where?
No! It's not that!
You just said so! You have to go somewhere before the sunset.
What does that mean?
Are you going to follow me all day like this?
Are you going to follow me everywhere?
I can't even breathe!
You! Salesman!
Me, sir?
Mok Dan.
You stop right there.
Are you ok? You're not hurt are you?
Thank you. Thank you for staying alive.
You saved my life several times.
And yet, I never thanked you.
I was afraid that I could never say that.
When I heard that you were dead,
I coudln't believe it.
I searched the cliff that you fell off all day.
Then...
I found this there.
Thanks to it, I realized who you were.
I don't care if you're him or not.
Whether you are him who said who will find me as long as I'm alive.
All Koreans and I...
Thanks to you... Thanks to Bridal Mask,
we are encouraged to live on.
Thank you. Thank you for everything.
My father wishes to see you.
My father is fighitng the Jap
He needs your help.
Can you see my father just once?
You just need to leave a message saying when and where my father has to go,
to Choi Tae Gon at Aska Hotel.
Please... Help my father once.
I think it will be too difficult sir.
It's Lee Kang To that's watching her 24/7.
How will she go to see Bridal Mask?
Even if she does,
there is no guarantee that he will comply with Mok Dan's requests.
Someone acting under a mask,
won't reveal his identity easily.
We have to prepare for the worst case of Bridal Mask not helping us.
If Bridal Mask can't help us,
Then Lee Kang To...
Hello?
It's me.
Yes! Are you ok?
I'm fine. Don't worry about me. I gave him the message.
You did?
He will call you in a few days.
Good job. Thanks.
Take care.
Good, you too.
She got to him?
Sir! We're pretty much half way finished!
Comrade Jopa, will you get the blueprint?
This is the Chongro Police Station armory.
On the day we ambush the armory,
Bridal Mask should come out
and lure out Detective Lee Kang To,
then we will be able steal the weapons.
We must steal the weapons.
So that we can bomb the ceremony.
My father is fighting the Japs just like you.
He needs your help.
Just once.
Can you see my father just once?
Chongro Market Street Map
We're almost finished.
As you can see, we only have 3 to 4 places left.
Because Joil Bank went bankrupt,
it became difficult for us to get our funds.
And yet you made a plan to decimate Chongro market street.
Father is pleased.
I will wait until the plan succeeds for your praisals.
Finally we're catching two rabbits. It's a win-win situation.
Kimura Shunji is watching Jo Doo Chi.
We will also catch Bridal Mask.
Chongro Market will be in our hands.
Yes, sir. Please hold.
It's Tokyo Headquarters.
Speaking.
Mr. Ueno.
It's Young Lady from Seoul.
It's me.
Father! Chongro Market is about to fall into our hands.
We're going to buy the rest of the stores today.
You're taking it too lightly.
To fight someone inferior, you must think he's your superior.
I'm sorry, sir. I was a little excited.
What did you do exactly in Seoul?
You're still playing hide-and-seek with Bridal Mask.
Kono Koji is still in his office.
If you fail again, you will go back as Chae Yong Joo.
Until the day I died,
no, even after my death, I will be your daughter, Ueno Rie.
Did you have to be so rough on her?
To control one's heart, you must seize one's weakness.
Rie's weakness is that she's Korean.
The Chairman insists that this assignment goes accordingly.
Seize Chongro Market and Bridal Mask's head at all costs.
Yes, madam.
-Here
If I pay back the interest on-time and pay back the principle, this will come back to me right?
Of course!
We're just holding your store as your line of credit just in case you can't pay the interest.
You don't need to worry.
My son wants to go to prison instead.
But most people who go to the prison can't come out with an able-body.
Of course! Of course! There is an easy way out! Why go into the prison?
You just have to pay back the interest and you will be fine!
Here, stamp the seal.
Here.
Thank you. Thank you,sir.
Who are you?
You scared me.
It's me, sir.
What are you doing? Why are Koreans coming in here all day?
You don't need to know. It's none of your business.
Now that you say that, I have something to tell Chief Kimura.
What? What?
That you came to ask me to find the secret ledger.
Ok. Ok! Here, take a seat.
I will tell you everything. So don't mention the ledger again.
You know me. I always keep my words.
Joseon Production
Lee Kang To coming to Cho Doo Chi's office disguised...
What about the 24/7 surveillance on Oh Mok Dan? Did you forget?
You want me to stand guard? Don't you know how badly I want to get him?
I told you to stay out of Bridal Mask case! You want to get demoted?
Leave Bridal Mask to me. You stay out of it.
What?
You think you can catch Bridal Mask?
You wore the uniform for what... one week?
The experienced 5000 Imperial soldiers couldn't catch Dam Sa Ri for 3 years. But I caught him in 3 months.
And yet he's messing with me for months. And what? You catch him?
Fine! I thought because you were so good, you would be able to get Bridal Mask in no time.
But you...
Instead of being on my side, you took Kono's side who wants to kill my father.
Kono's faithful servant is my friend, Lee Kang To.
I finally realized why my brother was angry at me
saying that I drew my sword against my father when I sheltered you. I finally realized.
Yes... Perhaps you and I could never become friends.
If the moment that I point my sword to your father ever comes, you shouldn't hesitate.
Why not? Why did you sell that gold mine?
While I was on vacation in Manchuria with my wife,
I felt bad watching the land being wasted.
I was thinking that I would like to build a school in Manchuria.
A school?
The Empire of Japan will rule China in the future. It's urgent that we deliver military supply first.
How is military supply related to school?
I'm going to build an agriculture school and breed for better rice.
I have to do my service to the country.
Wow! Wow! How can you be so noble?
Oh yes, while I was selling the gold mine, I came to find a Sansam. (Rare Ginseng)
Sansam?
It's a small appreciation for your service to the country, Count Lee.
You didn't have to do this.
An expert says that it's at least 50 years old.
Count Lee happened to be ill from headaches, toothaches, indigestion, and insomnia.
Honey, Honey!
They say it's an herb that cures all. You have nothing to worry about.
I also want to show my appreciation to the Executor as an patriot of this empire.
May I participate in the upcoming ceremony with my wife?
That's...
It's a place where only the VVIP's and the high ranked officials are attending.
But since your love for the empire is so great,
surely Count Lee will get you an invitation letter.
Oh no! Oh no!
Thanks to you, the Executor will find his youth again.
I can give you Sansam until you find your youth again.
How will I eat all that?
-A cup of coffee. -Yes sir.
Lieutenant!
What? What's going on?
All the officers are going to Keumhwa Jung tonight except two of us.
How can they leave us out for the party?
It's Keumhwa Jung!
Keumhwa Jung?
We're doing so much work to watch over the circus.
Shut up! You head back first.
Hi Masako. Do you have time tonight?
Tonight? I can't tonight.
Why not? You have something?
Doo Chi has all the papers for the market street.
So Chief Kimura is coming to congratulate him.
Is that right? That's too bad.
Bingo.
Attend-hut.
Sgt. Goiso. Did you check on the rumors?
The market must be panicking by now. You want to hear it yourself?
Tell Captain everything!
Just as Sgt. Goiso told me, I spread the rumors in the market.
That Hirojawa Gonske of Joseon Production is really Cho Doo Chi of Joil Bank.
That the people who loaned the money will all get kicked out.
I shouldn't have listened to him.
I must have lost my mind.
-What are we going to do now? -We were all fooled! Fooled!
I told you to no got there.
I told you at least a hundred times that he would suck the life out of you!
I didn't even know. I just handed over the lease papers.
Heavens. Heavens.
Heavens.
Sgt. Goiso, get ready.
Yes, sir. I prepared the best swordsman in Japan.
You have done very well.
I can't live in Korea any longer.
You will have to help me settle in Japan as you promised.
Don't worry. Chairman will take care of you.
I will go get the papers then.
Bill of Sales
I let you live once. And yet you hurt your fellow Koreans again.
I will give you this. Please let me live.
No more. The root of wrong should be found.
I came to punish you for your wrong doings.
Long time no see, Bridal Mask.
You still don't get it, do you?
You know the way to get Bridal Mask.
Do you not?
What would have my brother done?
He would have helped him even by risking his cover.
I will take care of him. I will have him stick next to me at least.
Kang To. Help me.
It's too hard for me to do it alone.
Lee Kang To loves that girl who is related to Lee Kang To.
It's weird no matter how I think about it. How does he?
Could he be Bridal Mask?
Lee Kang To is? Kang To is?
