- Comrade. - Let's go.
It really was you, Lee Kang To.
You son of a bitch.
Are you out of your mind?
We finally caught him! And you want to kill him?
You want to catch Bridal Mask or not?
It's you isn't it. It's you. You're Bridal Mask.
No way!
I... love this girl.
What? What did you say?
Is that why you thought I was Bridal Mask?
So you made a trap so that I would come?
Disgusting... How could you!
How!
Move aside.
Episode 23
You just called him.
He will call you back when he gets back safely.
The more you do this, the more you will get other people anxious.
I'm sorry Mr. Cho.
But I'm really worried.
He should have called by now.
I know it's hard, but wait just a bit longer.
Okay. I will wait.
What are you doing here?
It's a boarding pass and a ticket.
China will be dangerous because it's currently under war.
First go to Japan and then flee to the U.S. or Canada, wherever it's safe.
What are you trying to say?
Leave Korea with Lee Kang To.
What are you talking about?
Yes. It's strange. I ended up loving Lee Kang To.
For me to love a lowly Korean...
The organization ordered me to kill him myself.
It's only natural.
For the last two days, the only thing I thought about was if I was able to kill him.
And I came to this conclusion.
Does she... does she know that he's Bridal Mask?
Unless you leave with Lee Kang To, I will have to kill him.
What do I have to do with Lee Kang To?
I think you're being mistaken.
Leave now.
Don't you want to leave with him?
With this ticket and money, you can live happily without any concerns.
He says that everywhere he looks
he sees people living in agony. For that reason, he can't take off the mask.
I support his will and cause, and I love him for it.
Are you not going to regret it?
I know where your heart lies now.
Goodbye.
What happened?
I was right. Bridal Mask was Lee Kang To.
Lee Kang To?
Yes, it was that Korean who saved Ms. Ueno's life five years ago.
If she couldn't kill him knowing that he was Bridal Mask...
If she was hiding his identity from us...
Then Rara is still Korean.
Please give your order sir.
Ueno Rie is Korean?
She was a geisha that served Mr. Ueno once at Myungwol Gwan.
May I kill your daughter?
I only said that thinking that he wouldn't kill his own daughter.
Then... did you kill Bridal Mask?
I was about to end him, but Captain Kimura stopped me.
The moment I found out his identity
it was me who wanted to kill him ripping him into pieces.
But if we kill him like that, we can't catch Yang Baek and Dong Jin.
Even if we kill Bridal Mask
if Yang Baek and Dong Jin are alive...
You will never find out who Bridal Mask is.
Even after my death, I will protect him...
The Koreans will still have their spirit left.
We must uproot it as a whole.
We must make Koreans thankful because
if it wasn't for Japan, it would have been a colony of the Western Power.
Jin Pei! This man's will is the future of the Great Empire of Japan.
Kimura Shunji, keep the fact that I know Bridal Mask's identity a secret from Rara.
You must promise me one thing, too.
Promise?
Allow me to personally kill Lee Kang To.
What happened?
I had to get Reporter Song out, I couldn't help Bridal Mask.
When I ran back to him later, I saw him lying on the ground.
Don't worry. He will wake up soon.
I will stay here. You can go.
I had to go to Song anyway.
I will count on you then, Mok Dan.
Comrade Tasha.
Wow! It's good to see you!
What a surprise to see you here, Captain Kimura.
Get me whiskey. Don't let anyone else in.
Hello sir!
For drinks?
Get out.
Good morning everybody!
Who is this?
I almost forgot your face.
How is Kang To doing?
Back in the day, us three men were the biggest 'modern boys' in Seoul.
I thought I told you not to let anyone in.
Hey! You're not interested in Korean Arts these days are you?
You used to go crazy even for a bowl.
Do you still remember?
We wanted to get you those snow boots
So you, Kang To, and I went to that village covered in snow...
I said get out!
We said that we were going skiing, and we rolled down the hill in those boots.
Did you just smile you son of a bitch?
What? Friends?
Me with a Korean?
You may come out.
You don't need to worry about him.
Young Master! Wake up!
Can you recognize me?
Boon.
Why am I here?
Comrade An took you back to the hospital.
Comrade An?
At the place where Reporter Song was being transported...
Why did he show up all of the sudden?
Is Rara trying to kill me?
No. Is it Kishokai?
Rara came to see me.
Rara did?
She told me to leave with you.
She gave me money and a ship ticket.
I rejected the offer.
But I can't get it off my mind.
Does she know that you're Bridal Mask?
She said that she has to kill you herself.
Don't worry about it.
She lied to me many times.
But this time, she seemed to be telling the truth.
She seemed to be really care about you and worry about you.
A few years ago, I saved a Korean girl who was being humiliated by the Japanese.
That was Rara.
She's Korean?
I see...
So that's what happened.
Thank you for rejecting on my behalf.
Of course.
I will follow you until the end.
And stay with you until the end.
Sato Hiroshi. I wanted to allow him to join Kishokai.
You recommended him.
I think I will re-consider.
No.
I was wrong.
Why not?
Because there is a possibility that he could be Bridal Mask like Kimura Taro says?
Yes sir.
The recent uncovering of Kimura Shunji
made it more likely that he may be Bridal Mask.
We should watch him longer.
Jin Pei.
I don't think it's time yet.
Here.
Reporter Song?
Bridal Mask saved you!
He kept his word.
Sir! I'm sorry for causing trouble.
It's okay.
It's great to see you again sir.
Comrade An!
My friend!
How could you bring Sir Yang in this hell?
But you fight in this hell sir.
You two must meet.
You two must meet so that we all can survive.
Of course! We must meet. We must.
Sir Yang Baek must have come for a good reason.
Sir!
Japan has expedited its army to one million.
This could be a sign that the Sino-Japanese War is reaching a prolonged stage/
Pushing it deeper into the pit of conflict.
The Sino-Japanese War is entering a prolonged stage.
The war between China and Japan is lasting longer.
At this rate the U.S. and the U.K. will join this war.
Then Japan will certainly be defeated.
That means the time for our independence has come closer.
That's exactly why Sir Yang Baek wants to see you.
Where can I see Sir Yang Baek?
Chongro Police Station
Idiot!
You let Dong Jin's man go?
Especially to Bridal Mask?
During a crucial time when we must catch Yang Baek and Dong Jin!
I'm sorry sir.
And you're not going to tell me?
This is an order.
Tell me what the plan is.
I'm sorry sir.
I'm Murayama Yoshio.
I never forgive a mutiny.
Don't do something you may regret.
What?
I will get Yang Baek, Dong Jin and even Bridal Mask.
I will bring them to you.
How you will face me then?
Are you so confident?
A pistol may kill a person or may not be able to kill a person.
But a well planned strategy
will even kill enemies that are not scene to the eyes.
A man who cannot be responsible for his words is a piece of trash.
I'm a kind of person that likes to get rid of trash.
I will keep that in mind sir.
You may leave.
Lieutenant Goiso.
Yes.
Lee Kang To didn't come? How come I don't see him?
That bastard has been lazy.
I haven't seen him since yesterday.
Why don't we fire him at this chance?
Don't be so mean.
We're all one big family.
He will show up anyway.
I should be patient. How should I manipulate him?
I'm sorry sir. I got into an accident yesterday.
Accident? What accident?
I got hurt. But you don't need to worry.
Oh yeah? You should be careful. Take a seat.
Any progress on Bridal Mask?
I started looking at the connections around Park In San like you asked.
Kang To. Didn't you know?
Bridal Mask let Dong Jin's man Song escape.
Did he?
Just as I expected, I think Bridal Mask is related to Dong Jin as well.
I don't think you and I should investigate separately.
Let's work together as a team.
What? You don't want to?
Why wouldn't I want to? If they are related, we should.
We will have a greater chance of catching them then.
Captain, it's time for the morning assembly.
Recently, there is a false rumor spreading like a plague among Koreans.
Anyone whining, anyone speaking ill of the empire...
Anyone speaking anything that is unreasonable...
arrest them all for spreading groundless rumors.
Yes.
My soldiers lost Dong Jin's man to Bridal Mask yesterday.
This is all because you're not armed with the Japanese spirits!
It's not the Japanese spirit! It's our morale sir!
Morale?
You're demoting and promoting without good reason.
Who would do his best?
For the order Imperial Police
demotion of Sato Hiroshi must be reconsidered.
You dare to talk to Murayama Yoshio!
Captain Kimura! You want to become a sergeant too?
Dismissed!
What? What? Shunji did?
He said that it was unfair to demote Lee Kang To as a sergeant.
He raised the question in front of the soldiers.
He wouldn't!
Are you saying that I'm lying?
I heard that he became a captain through connections.
How dare you!
Even if he is your son, mutiny cannot be allowed.
Please distinguish personal matters and public matters clearly.
Director. My granddaughter Soon should be fine, sir?
I thought I told you not to mention her.
This is what the minister wrote.
It's not a place where Soon went is it?
Do you want to go to the prison for spreading false rumors?
No sir. I'm sorry sir.
Executor's Office.
The war with China has lasted much longer than we expected. It's costing our government a fortune.
Also the democratic party of China and the communist party of China have joined forces.
They are unified most tightly ever to fight against us. I'm worried.
Sir! We have Korea, what is there to worry about?
Immediately call out for an emergency army draft.
Get backup force from Korea.
Director! You want to give Koreans guns?
What if they fight for Korea
with those guns instead of the emperor?
Chief Murayama, we can make weapons from the factory anytime.
But it takes at least fifteen years to make soldiers.
Most of the Japanese young men are in China at the moment.
Is there any other way?
We can't even deal with Bridal Mask alone.
But give them a guns?
What if Koreans with guns become Bridal Mask with guns?
We will have to transform them into the Imperial Army of the emperor.
Yes, Chief Director! That's it!
Make proposals for ways to make them into Japanese citizens right now!
Yes sir.
We must abolish the Korean language. And also prohibit the usage of Korean writing.
Why don't we build shrines every where in the state
and make it mandatory for the people to attend?
Director! The most important thing is to teach Japanese history.
Forgetting the history will erase their ethnicity.
Yes! Whenever I hear that the Imperial Army is winning every battle in China
I get so touched and become ever more proud to be a citizen of the empire.
It's not just in China. The Imperial Army will attack the pacific
and surprise those Westerners who look down on us Asians.
Anyway! Do you know what kind of rumors are going in the public?
What rumors?
They say Yang Baek is in Seoul. I would say, "Oh my god, is that even possible?"
But it's been years since the Imperial Police couldn't even catch Bridal Mask.
Honey, Honey...
Don't you know that you can get arrested for spreading false rumors?
I will leave first.
The news of your arrival is spreading in the public.
It's dangerous enough for you to come secretly.
Why spread rumors?
Cho!
Korea is hard enough to live in already.
But it will become a living hell soon.
No matter how much I tell my fellow Koreans that we must unite to survive outside of Korea
it's not going to move them.
The war between Japan and China is lasting longer.
The Japs are looking for Korean young men who will take bullets for them on the battlefield.
They only take volunteers for now.
But they will soon start drafting and forcefully take men away.
Won't they even take students?
We must prepare our people for the upcoming hell.
For the cause of fighting for independence...
Yoon Bong Gil, Lee Bong Jang... These two young men...
I gave them suicide bombs.
Even if I were to pay them back for their lost lives
I don't want any of our Korean young men to die for the Japs because we're powerless.
That is my dream.
Bridal Mask took Dong Jin's right hand man.
Yang Baek must be in Seoul.
Yang Baek and Dong Jin want to meet.
The Gyeonggi police is surrounding the entire Seoul.
The problem is that we don't know who Bridal Mask is.
Yang Baek and Dam Sari...
And their relationship with Bridal Mask. There is someone who knows this.
Oh Mok Dan is the key to catch all of them.
I will have to investigate Mok Dan, right?
This is driving me nuts. I will have to make Mok Dan talk.
You saw it too right?
She was going to walk into that nail box.
Torturing won't work.
What will make Mok Dan talk?
I don't know.
Would there be a way?
We must find a way.
We have to find a way for Mok Dan to say "Hail, Emperor!"
I'm going to go to Kyungsung Inn.
Why should I run, just because Shunji is coming?
If I run
it will only put you and my father in danger.
Just listen to me.
Whether it's to Jung Ja Ok or to Baek Gun
run from Shunji right now.
If I'm not here
he will start questioning Mr. Cho first.
Don't worry about me.
I can take care of myself.
Why is Bridal Mask always around you?
I also thought that was strange.
I thought that he was the Young Master that I knew when I was young.
But... he didn't show me his face after saving me.
He always left without saying a word.
I think I made a mistake.
You want me to find him?
What are you talking about?
That Young Master you want to see.
I'm captain of Chongro Police Department.
I think I was too heartless.
It will take some time.
I can find him if you want.
I want to find him
and see what kind of man he is.
No.
I don't want to owe you anything.
It's because of him that you're not opening up to me.
Kimura Shunji!
You think I will ever open up to you?
I will not give you up even if I die.
I won't let anyone else have you.
What did Shunji say?
He asked if my father called me.
He didn't bully you?
No matter what he does to me
I will never give in.
Will you always stay strong like this?
Of course! I'm the daughter of Dam Sa Ri.
Thank you!
Please receive my respect.
This is a critical moment when our empire is fighting China.
First pass the laws to get more soldiers
and get private organizations who support the imperial policies.
Make the Japanese Imperialism Alliance.
Yes sir.
We will make the Joseon Alliance at the capital, and local alliances in local areas.
We will make the patriot groups under them.
The patriot groups will make public movements for patriotism.
We will change the public attitude so that they can accept drafting.
And teach Japanese as official language.
All the old men, women, and children who are not subject to draft
must be prepared to supply for the war.
Yes sir.
Because people couldn't endure the Japanese oppression...
because people couldn't stand it, because people thought that it was better to be dead...
That's how the March Riot had started.
Yes.
From Seoul to Jeju, and to even Manchuria...
Anywhere where a Korean lived...
you could hear "Hail Korea."
They were so shocked
that they made the independence movement to look like a rebellious movement to foreign countries.
I risked my life to come here for another riot.
But it won't be a non-violent riot like the March Riot, which was so quickly suppressed.
But an organized riot over all thirteen provinces in Korea. It will be an armed fight.
Sir!
The squad members who devoted their lives for my cause
and the people who follow you... If we work together...
we may be free from the Japanese sooner than we had once thought.
Comrade! We need you, desperately.
I thought that as the war with China prolonged, the day of our independence is closer.
I created secret squads all over thirteen provinces.
I have gathered men who will fight with us.
As the war lasted long,
the Japs will soon draft our young men.
The young men who must fight the Japanese with arms...
We cannot let them take bullets for the Jap's war.
What I'm saying is to prepare then and plan the fight now.
Then we must protest against the draft and levy first.
How will we do that?
We must burn the census records that the draft is based on.
Census?
Yes.
We will have to burn or destroy all of the census study papers in the state.
Good. I will contact all of the captains of my thirteen squads.
I think it's best that we attack on the same day.
Thank you, Comrades.
I want to join you and Dong Jin for this attack.
Of course you may.
I have a good idea.
Why don't we make it more chaotic for them?
Chongro Police Station
I'm sorry sir.
I saw him seeing Oh Mok Dan on the train.
But at Angel Club...
If you lose him one more time
I will kill you myself.
Captain!
Bridal Mask is burning the Seoul census papers!
What? Bridal Mask?
Is that true?
Captain!
Bridal Mask is burning Youngdeung Po census office.
Yes sir!
Captain!
Bridal Mask is burning the East Census Office.
Where is the only place it hasn't been burned down?
It's Yongsan, sir.
Go to Yongsan, now!
Yes sir!
Lee Kang To!
Come with me.
What are you doing Lee Kang To?
Get him!
Yes sir!
