Inspiring Generation
For us,
we have orders to destroy the Dobi gang; however,
there is only one way for them to survive.
You will have to come to Ill Gook Hwae.
Then...
you must die in front of Gaya.
If you win, I will go against the order to destroy the Dobi gang.
And I will take responsibility for my actions.
I'll come.
So wait,
then I will show you my true side.
Episode 8
What are you doing?
Go in and sleep.
Ill Gook Hwae is
eyeing the Dobi gang.
It's because of me.
Who's saying that?
The way I can win against swords,
I would like to know.
What is it?
Sir, Choi Po Soo is inside, right?
Yes?
He said he's acquainted with Ahjussi.
If you tell him it's Bong Sik, he'll know.
Please come in.
Let's go in.
Sir, have you been well?
Yes, is Dobi still the same?
Because the Il Gook bastards are running around, we are having many difficulties.
Ah. It seems like gathering funds and even communicating is not easy.
The darkness will soon be over. Keep it up.
Yes.
Jung Tae... it's been a long time.
Oh and... what is the reason for your visit?
We came to ask for a favor.
Jung Tae, this kid, was begging me, so...
Please teach Jung Tae how to take hits from a sword.
Sir, I know that you were a guard
for the Korean Empire.
Please, I ask of you.
One, eye. Two, foot. Three, heart. Four, strength.
The sword has firstly, the seeing eye, secondly, the moving feet, thirdly, a strong heart, and
lastly, power and skill.
To overcome the sword,
means that you have to trick the eye, bind the feet, cloud the mind,
and weaken its skill.
A professional's sword
starts late but cuts first.
If you attack without a plan, you will always fail.
As you wait,
focus on the foot that becomes an axis.
Keep in mind.
There is no sword in this world
that strikes out before the foot does.
Ah...
I'm sorry, I didn't mean to.
It feels like I've been hit with metal.
There is another who has a fist like this.
The fist that makes me remember its pain with my whole body.
You punk!
The one who you're trying to fight,
he will be stronger than me. Am I right?
Probably.
No matter who tries to stop you,
you will still end up going.
Yes. I have to go.
Then, you are going there to die.
Going against an enemy who is stronger than yourself,
when death is obviously staring at you, is a death wish.
But...
there was a person who won in such a situation.
That...
was your father.
There is no such thing as a person who is determined to die.
Make sure you live.
You must want to live to win.
Mother,
this is what Chung Ah left.
There were hundreds of times when I wanted to read it,
but I clenched my teeth and held back.
It feels like a will.
If I read it,
I feel like I will collapse.
So, you keep it for me, Mom.
Later,
when I meet Chung Ah again,
I will read it then.
Let's all meet then with a smile.
I'm sorry, Mother.
Did you come?
What are you doing tomorrow?
I'll be selling gam and omija tea. Because they are popular these days, the customers are looking for them.
But what about tomorrow?
The day before yesterday's two hours, yesterday's four hours and today's eight hours.
I couldn't fill all those hours, so...
let's stay together, all day long.
Something's wrong, huh?
What do you mean?
There's nothing special going on.
When I kept asking to go to Yongampo's sunrise play, you never went there.
We never even been to that plain cafe with the pastries or the Satong marketplace where everybody goes,
but you want to spend the whole day together?
If you don't want to, then it's fine.
I'm going.
Fine.
Let's stay together,
all day long.
Okay.
Get down, get down.
Why?
You saw it, right?
That is how you ride it.
Get on.
I'm not going to let go.
Oh my, oh my. Don't let go.
I'm behind you.
You didn't let go, right? Don't let go. - I didn't.
I didn't let go. -You didn't let go, right?
If you let go, you're dead, Shin Jung Tae!
Okay.
Are you holding it? -Yeah, I'm holding on.
I didn't let go. -Are you pushing me?
I'm pushing it. Keep going.
Aren't you pushing it a little too hard?
Yah!
You are dead.
You're not going to hold it?
How is it?
Give me that one.
Like this?
Two cotton candies, please.
Eat it well. -Yes.
It's dirty.
Try it. -No.
Try.
Hyungnim?
What?
I think I should open a store.
There are some places I've looked at while I was a carrier.
The Dobi Gang hasn't closed down yet.
Shut up and just eat your noodles.
Okay.
He's going to Ill Gook Hwae.
He's digging his own grave.
What are you doing?
Explain to me.
Why are you in this picture?
Give it back, please.
Tell me.
Give it to me.
Do you know what you just did?
I'll feel guiltier once I find out what kind of relationship you had with my mother.
Explain. So that I can understand.
That's an order.
Now!
That order!
I refuse.
Princess.
What is it?
Shin Jung Tae has come looking for you.
Shin Jung Tae?
Let's end this. All of this ill-fated relationship.
Hyungnim.
Oh, you came?
I have something to say.
Go out.
I said get out.
Dandong still seems quiet. Dandong, China
However, once Ill Gook Hwae occupies Shineuijoo,
Dandong will be next.
I know that.
Even though there is some distance,
Shanghai will not be safe either.
Frequent footsteps will build the road.
You must block it.
As long as I'm here,
Dandong will not penetrate easily.
I heard you met Jung Tae?
I was impressed.
Like father, like son.
That kid has a big wound.
If there's a situation where you need to help him, don't hesitate.
When you do, I will consider all that you do as my debt towards you.
That is nonsense.
Perhaps, I...
have a bigger debt towards Shin Jung Tae.
Boss.
I think you should come in for a moment.
Excuse me.
It's all right.
Do you think it's true?
He said he hasn't forgotten about the cut on his ear.
It's Shin Jung Tae for certain.
I'm going out for boiled rice soup.
Kang Gae.
Yes?
You watch the shop well.
What's there to take care of?
You watch it well, you little bastard.
Yes,
I understand.
This bastard.
Hey, now.
Just like Hyungnim said, take care of the shop well with your tail held high in the air.
Stop it.
I'm going.
Why is he here?
Is there a reason he shouldn't be here?
A person who came in alive,
send him back dead.
That is Ill Gook Hwae's instructions.
That man!
Stormed in here alive.
I will kill him and then let him out.
So, you just...
watch it.
Grab the sword.
I will if I need to.
Your body is heavy.
Because of that, you're slow.
Kid, you waste your energy a lot.
The initial step to fight comes from the shoulder.
The shoulder has to move, then the arm can come out.
Only then, can you move the fist forward.
His eyes are piercing through me.
Watch the movement of the shoulder.
Fine.
Let's go again.
It should hurt.
Your spine should hurt, too.
You, who has depended on your sword, all your life,
probably haven't been hit that often, if any.
I got hit because I was a kid without a father.
Then I got hit because I had no mother.
Then I got hit because I talked back.
Got hit because I wasn't talking.
I lived on getting hit over and over.
I realized that the one thing I did best was getting hit.
You said protecting Gaya was your duty.
For me, I just..
wanted to make Gaya laugh.
Because when I saw her laugh,
her laughter also made me laugh, though I didn't know why.
I just liked that. That's all.
But why is that so wrong?
Is it a sin for me to dream about that in my life?!
It is a sin.
Because you dreamed of things that you should not have.
It's correct to say that it is a sin.
Kenjo,
give me the sword.
If I lose, let him leave alive.
Shinichi-san.
Keep my pride for me.
I'm depending on you.
Yes.
Be ready.
It's real from now on.
Come.
Hey, you're following me like some bug.
Hey, get lost.
Stop telling me off.
Don't you know that the ones who like you enough to follow you around are me
and the mosquitoes in the summer?
You are full of bullsh*it. (As if a deer would eat its own horn).
Hey,when I go to Myeongwolgwan, don't you know that all the girls get shaken up?
They say that when you get old, they start believing what they hear. Hyungnim is also..
Get lost.
I think you're far from the rice soup place.
Seok Tae.
Kang Seok Tae.
Yes.
Go.
Am I a person who would go when you tell me to go?
After sending you off all by yourself,
do you think I'll be able to live with a clear conscious?
Aish. - Hyungnim,
thank you for everything, all this time.
Aigo, really.
My hyungnim is like a feather. A feather.
Ah, really.
Aigoo.
Hyungnim,
stop drinking
and also,
stop giving that affection of yours.
Hyungnim, you should get married now.
Don't take care of us.
Poong Cha Hyungnim.
Hey!
Here.
Kkab Sae, I'm sorry.
What is your last will?
I will write it on your gravestone. Be sure to check it.
Stop it,
that is enough, Shinichi. Put away your sword.
Stay there.
If you disobey the instruction,
you'll be banned.
If you get banned...
Princess,
you can't take any revenge.
Even then,
will you be okay with it?
Kenjo,
shorten his suffering.
I will save you no matter what.
You withstand it till the end.
Hey!
You know me, right?
I don't know if a bunch of Japs will know
that my name is Poong Cha.
In your language, kazaguruma. (Windmill in Japanese.)
I came here to die today.
You guys should watch your throats.
Thank you for waiting.
I'll finish up.
This isn't something you should be hesitant about.
If the Dobi Gang falls apart, the next is here, in Dandong.
Right now, we have to strengthen and protect.
The people who slaughtered my mother,
tried to kill me to get rid of the evidence.
Then...
the one who saved me was Shin Jung Tae's father.
(Repay) the kindness doubly.
Tenfold for the enemy.
I will go to Shineuijoo.
Hey, I thought you were just a bunch of Japs but you are hordes. Will you guys survive this fight?
Hey! These guys really are tenacious.
Only two people left now?
Maybe not. Are there four people?
Now,
this should be enough.
Jung Tae.
Wake up, let's go home.
Home...
We have to go home.
Hyung will take you home.
Hey!
No. (You can't die.)
Jung Tae,
I...
really liked you.
This world, where people pretend not to notice
when there's a rotten corpse on the street...
You...
who was afflicted
by small scratches,
I like that about you.
So,
we have to go home.
Jung Tae,
I'm sorry.
I, Hyung..
And...
I love you.
You...
Have you seen that kind of death?
I have not.
This is enough.
Take Shin Jung Tae and treat him.
This is an order.
Even if you save him now, he will die in the end.
That... is his fate.
Do not...
attempt to decide the fate of other people so carelessly.
You have a good skill.
In tough times like these, you were able to get precious whiskey like this.
I wiped the warehouse clean to bring this.
You know that since the Dobi route is blocked, this item is hard to come by, right?
Aiyoo. Just give me the whole thing.
I'll give you cash for all of it.
That's why you are "nose hair." (One who's good at smelling out good things.)
What do you think?
It's good, right?
Aish...
Stop there! -Just a moment. One second!
Ah, Hyungnim!
I see you often.
When a musical note turns into beautiful music,
it's a miraculous moment.
Try humming it so you can feel the notes.
Humming?
Come here.
Three, four!
Here. Shorten the beginning a bit.
Until here.
Wow.
1, 2, 3, 4.
Why is it so quiet?
The New Year is the day after tomorrow. That's why.
The week before and the week after, we're pretty much off work.
Now that I think about it,
I hear that Myeongwolgwan's food is really good.
Do you have any leftovers?
No.
I got it. I'll get some from you at another time.
Okay.
Go in.
Don't forget to practice singing.
Okay.
This batch of pig's trotter is a failure.
No, it tastes pretty decent.
Did you come?
Why didn't you lock the front gate? Are we having a customer now?
Aiyoo, that's what I am saying!
He barged in and asked for drinks. What can we do?
Who is it?
A major or a captain or something.
Anyway, don't pay any attention to it.
Try this.
Mom!
What the hell? Get back!
How can you do this?!
Ok Ryeon! -What is going on here?!
You are just a gisaeng girl. So I just wanted some relief, but
you are telling me to behave?!
What are you doing right now?
This is not a brothel.
If you are horny, go to a brothel!
To a brothel?!
This bit*h really wants to die, huh?!!
Mom! -Ok Ryeon!
I said get back.
Oh my.
Ok Ryeon!
Mom!
Don't do this.
Don't do this!
Mom!
Get off.
Ok Ryeon... -Bastard.
Hey!
You!
Ok Ryeon!
What the hell are you doing? You're making me lose my appetite for liquor!
Stop it, you bastard. You animal!
Animal? I'll kill you!
Animal, huh?!
Ok Ryeon.
Oh!
Oh! Why are you doing this?!
Nobody move.
You two, go in.
Quickly.
You...
Do you even know what you have just done?
How dare you? How dare you hurt Lord Gokubo?
Pack only the things you need.
It cannot be too heavy or too big.
Hurry!
Do as he says.
Aiyoo, I'm scared!
I'm going to cross the Yalu River. There is a skiff at Yongampo.
Will you help me?
Follow me.
How about the distance?
It's about 30 meters.
What about the location?
They are hiding on the right side of the corner.
Time is now!
Come out now.
Try hurting a hair on the Princess,
in that moment, you will die.
It's a message from Japan.
Suspect of Hal Eol Bin's assassination
Where did they go? Tell me!
Headed towards Yongampo.
They said they had a skiff.
You stay here!
We are almost there. Just a little bit more.
Get down! Get down!
Hunter Choi! - You protect them, okay?
No, you can't! Hurry and get on!
Here! Get the row!
Stop rowing! Let the Ahjussi...
I can't go alone. Hurry! Come with us!
Stay alive, anywhere! I'll make sure I find you!
Hunter Choi!
Ill Gook Hwae's headquarters in Osaka, Japan.
Any news about Aoki?
With as many men as we can get, we are looking for him.
After his mother died, he stayed beside her for 8 days.
Surviving is his natural talent.
He must be alive somewhere; make sure you find him.
Yes.
What about Gaya?
She seems to be in the middle of taking care of the Dobi Gang.
She is waiting for your last order.
A fight is about conquering. Winning is important, but the narrative is also important.
Destroy everything without showing mercy: Show them the strength of the Ill Gook Hwae!
Your orders will be carried out.
I can't believe what I am seeing.
In total, there are 8 places where you were hit in the spinal area.
Four of your vertebrae are fractured.
Due to the injury, the blood edema
can block your pulmonary circulation.
It means that you should even be having a hard time breathing.
Good work.
Shinichi, this means that you can die from this if you leave it alone.
I'm still alive, aren't I?
That's good enough.
Soon, I'll have to report what has happened.
Are you going to let him live?
You look too much like her.
To the point where it gives me the chills.
Announce!
Dandong organization, requesting a combat with
the Japanese organization!
Dandong organization, requesting combat
with the Japanese organization!
Dandong organization, requesting combat
with the Japanese organization!
What is the meaning of this?
Dandong organization, requesting combat with the Japanese organization!
It's a call for combat.
It's a cry for a battle.
Dandong organization, request..
"From Dandong, we request a combat...
with the head of Ill Gook Hwae."
Dandong organization, we request a combat...
You can't go.
The opponent is Mo Il Hwa.
I'm... Gaya.
Requests combat with the...
Japanese leader.
Leader Mo, it has been a long time.
Have you been well all this time?
Thanks to you. But a request for a combat?
It's a fight that has already been declared in front of many.
I am awaiting your decision.
What would you like to wager?
Everything that you desire.
Does that include Dandong?
Of course.
What would you like?
Shin... Jung... Tae.
If he is still alive, I mean.
I'll fight you, then.
Princess...
I shall learn from you.
I, too, shall do the same.
I have heard that it has not been long, since you have picked up the sword.
I guess there is such a thing as a genius,
after all.
Your praise is excessive.
From now on, I will do my best.
You can...
look forward to it.
Come on in.
Take a good look.
This is the point where we can overtake Shanghai.
Let no one follow me.
You've traveled a rough and long road to get here.
Then, I should make the road short and simple.
Shin Young Chool's son came with them.
I'm seeing your face for the first time.
Mr. Shin was that person.
Don't even think about touching the shadow of the people I love.
Because you are afraid of death,
you can't be a coward, right?
