Basketball
[Episode 10]
Please help! Here!
Man down!
Let's go. We can't die!
Will you marry me?
I beg your pardon?
Please marry me, Chi Ho.
What you're saying... Is it really what I'm hearing right now?
Why?
Why have you made such a decision?
I want to protect...
You refused to pledge your allegiance to the empire
out of your sense of responsibility for Byeo Ri.
You didn't want anyone to be blamed for your actions anymore.
It's the same for me right now.
I want to protect San.
Mister. Wake up!
Mister!
I'm sorry. You got stuck because of me.
- Don't worry about it. - It's not too late for you to escape.
I'm done. I can't.
Don't say that. There must be a way out.
I know it's a shameless request on my part.
But I thought you would understand.
You also have someone you want to protect.
Can I protect In Soo if I marry you?
If you change your name.
As you said, I hate the fact that people are blamed for my actions.
But now I'm afraid that my decision to keep my Korean name will hurt In Soo.
I'll change my name.
I also understand your wish to save Kang San.
But I hope you will reconsider what you've just said.
If you'll always have someone on your mind while you're married to me...
That'll hurt me greatly.
Did you get into a fight with those men back there?
They had a very serious look.
I should have known better when people were saying that you're a swindler!
It wasn't my fault.
It wasn't my fault...
Nobody here is saying that it was your fault.
If you want to get out of here alive, you should save your energy.
All I wanted was a house in which I could live with my mother.
I kept telling myself to be successful. Because success will change my life.
That was the only thing that supported me.
But then why?
It seems like you bear too many grudges for a young man.
But then who's not bearing a grudge in this nasty society?
This is my daughter.
I was devastated when I left her.
She is what supports me.
If she can live a comfortable life with the money I send her...
That's my happiness in its own right.
What's your name, young man?
I'm Kang San.
San... That's a good name.
You should only think of things that are dear to you.
That's the only way you'll survive here.
He's correct.
What kind of man will like his woman to be in love with someone else?
You can't expect that from Mr. Min even if he's a living Buddha.
It's not too late to reconsider.
That bastard has lied to you and broke up with you twice!
Why do you want to get into a passionless
marriage to save that scoundrel?
You can't be that righteous!
Bong Soon.
What?
To him, our relationship may have been
something that he could give up easily...
But my feelings for him were serious.
I really liked him with all my heart.
I'm different from him.
I wish to be different from him.
It's not that I can't forget him. But...
So, you're saying that you're not doing this
because you like him right now, correct?
Then I guess you won't need things like this anymore.
What are you doing?
You said you've forgotten him!
Put that away!
What do you think you're doing?
It seems like you haven't forgotten him.
What are you doing here?
What are you doing in front of someone's...
Did you come alone?
Did anyone see you?
Don't tell anyone that I was here. Understood?
Why?
I have my own brain and ears, too.
You're just bossing me around now. I don't like that.
It's up to me to keep your secret or not even when you ask me nicely!
Do you think I'm a joke?
I'm sorry. That wasn't my intention.
This is for you, Ms. Go.
What?
Are you younger than Ms. Choi?
No, I'm one year older than her.
Then why do you speak so formally to Ms. Choi?
That's because her family is my employer, and I am their servant.
All men are created equal. That's only natural.
As precious as Ms. Choi is, you are also very precious, Ms. Go.
A society for people like you...
It's my dream to achieve a society in which everyone is treated equally.
This is all I can tell you right now.
But when the time comes, I'll tell you everything before anyone else!
Can you trust me?
Thank you.
I trust you too.
Goodbye then.
He came like the wind, then disappeared like the wind...
What is this weird feeling?
I'll be the best basketball player in Korea.
I dedicate this honor to my mother.
I want to live a righteous life.
For you, I want to live a righteous life.
Hey! Open your eyes!
Wake up, Kang San!
I have decided to let San go.
I'm sorry.
You may think I'm brazen, but would you please reconsider it?
You're the only thing left for San.
San will soon come back.
What are you talking about? Have you heard anything?
This is all I can do.
Thank you very much for everything. Please take care.
Ms. Choi...
Is anybody there?
Nobody?
Answer me if you're there!
If you wake up while I'm not here, you should eat those.
He's waking up! Kang San is waking up!
Is anyone there?
Kang San is one lucky bastard.
I wish he had died in the mine!
That's too harsh.
Damn it! Why is he staring at us?
Damn it! Why is he coming to us?
Thank you.
I could survive thanks to you guys.
Why are you thanking us?
I couldn't die because I had things to settle with you guys.
We wanted to help you in the shaft.
Forget about all that nonsense.
It's not my fault that you were dragged here.
What?
I also got dragged here. We are all victims.
Let's find the man who dragged us here and repay him.
I'll be back soon, Shin Young.
Next applicant for name change, please.
Next applicant!
My name is Min Chi Ho.
Chi Ho!
I thought about my feelings again as you told me to.
I'm ready to be responsible for my decision.
I will not think of anyone else from the moment when I become your wife.
I will do my best to be a good spouse.
What? Engagement announcement?
Mr. Asano Jiko and Ms. Kayama Yuou?
What are you doing here?
Where are your manners? You should speak more formally.
We were generous enough to give you this space for your business.
Why don't you just use this space for your grave too?
How rude of you to take away my newspaper!
People say, a smart girl is always behind a pretty girl,
and a pretty girl is always behind a lucky girl.
They must have been talking about you!
Look how lucky you are to be just hanging out doing nothing!
I haven't seen anyone luckier than you in this entire country!
Hey kid. You won't find a husband if you don't speak nicely.
Take a look.
Isn't she that girl?
She is! She's the girl who started dating San!
What a shameless girl. It only has been days since San has left the country...
Kang San was sent away by her family. Why would she wait for him?
What?
That's right. Her family sent away Kang San.
Get out. I must go take care of some business.
What business?
Why do you make me repeat myself? I'm going to make the seed money!
Seed money? Really?
That's right. Expect great things to happen!
Have you gone mad?
What is this?
[Labor Application for Manchuria] Kang San's manager brought this in.
He says he knows that Kang San was sent to Manchuria against his will.
How the hell are you managing this office?
Are you going to give all our secrets to thieves?
- I apologize. - Bring me the security guard!
And just put that thief in jail too.
Wait.
You said he's Kang San's manager?
Yes, he used to organize basketball gambling.
He's the type that'll do anything for money.
He also worked for us during the demolishing of the slums.
That guy...
I can just have him do it.
How are you, Mr. President?
I should have come sooner to give my regard, but I've been too busy.
My name is Gong Yoon Bae.
Have you brought this in?
Yes, sir.
What did you want to do with it?
Pardon?
Did you want to blackmail me with a stolen document?
Nonsense, sir! I didn't steal it.
Kang San gave it to me.
Hello, Mr. Police Commissioner? It's me, Mr. Choi.
How have you been?
A burglar snuck into my office a couple nights ago...
He took everything that's worth any money!
But I think we have managed to catch him.
Please send some police officers to me.
I'm sorry! It's my fault. Please save me.
I heard there are many rats in this city...
I'm sorry! Please forgive me.
But I didn't steal anything from here except that piece of paper.
And even that wasn't because I wanted to steal it.
It's because Kang San asked me to.
I'm sorry, sir. Please forgive me this once!
What is it?
I'm sorry, sir. I got a cramp in my leg.
Tomorrow morning at 3 a.m. Behind the barn.
You want me to bring Kang San back? Me?
You don't think you can do it?
Yes, I can.
Hey.
What is this?
I'll give you that money if you manage to bring Kang San back.
Are you really going to give me this money if I bring Kang San back?
Hurry up! Move quickly!
Tomorrow morning.
Did you hear me?
I'm not going.
I made a raft out of the mine pillars from the collapsed shaft.
It can take five people with ease.
I already told you.
I didn't get dragged here like you.
I volunteered to come here to make money.
Are you going to spend the rest of your life in this misery?
I'm sending all the money I make here to my daughter.
That's all I need.
But just one thing...
Can I ask you for one favor?
Please post this letter for me. It's for my daughter.
She's my daughter. Her name is Hong Byeo Ri.
You didn't get to see her the last time because we were in the dark, right?
She's pretty.
Of course she is. She's my daughter!
I saw a news article when I was in Gyeongseong.
Never mind.
What is it?
Something about this beggar girl whose
father volunteered for labor in Manchuria.
What?
She didn't get her father's remittance, and eventually got kicked out her house.
It seems like that kind of thing is happening.
Is that true?
So, tomorrow morning? Are you really going to go?
I must go. He's made a raft and everything.
What if you get caught? Do you want to become a cripple?
I'd rather take my chance in escaping than rotting away in this hell.
Who knows? Maybe my ancestors will take care of me.
If your ancestors are looking after you, why are you here to begin with?
Let's just report him.
This guy...
I can't trust Kang San. He already tricked us once!
We don't know what he's thinking.
That makes sense.
The bounty for reporting escape plans is a bag of rice per person.
A whole bag?
I never heard this conversation.
Didn't you volunteer to come here because they said they'll give you rice?
You ended up here only because you wanted to feed your children!
This is to punish the bad guy. If we report him, our children will eat!
Hey, Kang San. Why are you alone?
Isn't Hong coming too?
Let's go.
Wait.
Mister.
I'm sorry that I'm late. My leg isn't in its best shape.
I didn't think you would come.
After hearing your story, I couldn't sleep.
I want to see if my daughter is doing well.
Mister!
I don't think I can make it. Just leave without me.
We're almost there. I'll help you.
I can't take another step. Just go.
Are you okay?
Hang in there, Mister. Just a bit more.
I left it here. Where is it?
Can you see a raft somewhere?
It must be somewhere there!
Congratulations!
This is my son!
Who is it?
I thought the groom isn't supposed to see the bride before the ceremony!
Can we talk for a moment?
Please wait outside.
What is it?
I was thinking, when Kang San comes back,
we must return to our original places also.
I'm fine with that.
I know that your decision is your unavoidable sacrifice for Kang San.
I already told you that I will do my best to be responsible for my decision.
You once told me this.
"No matter what the other person thinks, if your
feelings were true, that itself is beautiful."
The reason why I tried my best for San's return
is to respect my genuine feelings for him.
This is where it ends.
This is the end of San and me.
I'll do my best.
You'll be the most precious person in my life.
You shameless rats! You wanted to betray our benevolence!
I hereby declare the engagement of Mr. Asano Jiko and Ms. Kayama Yuou!
Who organized this?
Who began planning for this escape?
I'm asking you a question!
I'm asking you... Who organized this?
Give me the name!
It's me.
What?
I planned this.
The organizer of an escape attempt is punished by execution!
Remember that.
If you try to run away, it'll only shorten your life span.
Take him away.
I did it.
I did it! I'm the organizer, not him!
I planned everything! Take me away, bastards!
Take both of them away!
I said I did it! Kill me, you bastards!
The execution will occur at 10 a.m. tomorrow. Dismissed.
Why did you say that?
I'll just be a burden for my daughter because my leg is busted.
Thanks for taking care of me every time.
You're still young.
You'll be able to find a way to return home.
If you ever get to meet my Byeo Ri...
Please tell her that I'm sorry. And that everything is my fault.
I hope you eventually let go of your grudges and live a peaceful life.
Mister.
Please wake up, Mister.
Mister!
Please help him.
Please help him, not me! Please!
I told you we could go to a nice place before you're off to the front lines.
Do you like this company that much?
Mr. Vice President!
How have you been, sir?
We've been waiting for your return!
But why do you want to go back to the front line?
How is your daughter? Isn't she graduating soon?
Don't even mention her! I don't know what she'll become when she grows up!
She used to be head over heels for that basketball player, Kang San...
But now she's all over Lee Hong Gi!
I wish I can just have her married off to anyone!
I almost forgot.
All of us at the factory got this for you.
It's not much.
It's a book of stamps.
You didn't have to...
There's nothing as powerful as the government!
If you just keep this with you all the time,
bullets and cannons will never dare to hit you!
Thank you.
Please come back to us safely.
I'll be sure to protect the factory with all I got.
Let's bid our farewell.
Can't you just work under Father? Must go back to the front lines?
If I stay under Father, we can't protect the company.
I'll run this company in my own way. Not like Father.
I'll tell you everything when I come back.
But will you be okay, Shin Young?
Are you really going to be okay with this marriage?
Miss!
The colonial government called.
They've released Mr. Oh In Soo, Mr. Min's manager.
Go ahead.
But still... You're off to the front...
It's not like we'll never see each other again.
I'll be back safely. You should be there for your fiance.
In Soo! What happened? Who has done this to you?
What happened? Why is he like this?
In Soo!
- Father... - In Soo!
I'm right here.
I'm sorry.
Chi Ho...
I also protected you, right?
The Communist Manifesto...
If you're a student, you shouldn't cause any trouble.
Who's the one that gave you this trash?
It's the new ideology that's gaining popularity in Europe and America.
Is it that big of a crime to pursue my
intellectual curiosity as a college student?
You still haven't realized!
Your master, Min Chi Ho, has made you to join the anti-Japanese movement!
That's false. That never happened.
It seems like you haven't had enough of the Imperial Police.
If that's what you want, I won't hold back!
When I was young, I hated calling you "Master"
even though you were younger than me.
But I'm very proud of you now.
Keep being cool, okay?
Of course!
Byeo Ri is here.
What's wrong, In Soo? Why are you so hurt?
I wanted to find a nice man as your husband...
Do you remember the story I read you?
Please keep me in your memory.
What are you talking about?
You'll remember me, right?
In Soo!
Are you awake?
What happened?
What do you mean? I came to save you.
We're on our way back to Gyeongseong.
What happened to Mr. Hong?
Mr. Hong? Who's that? I don't know.
Before you worry about other people, you should take care of yourself first!
You should be glad that I came to rescue you.
And why are you so beaten up?
You challenged the authorities again, didn't you?
Get some more sleep. You need rest to start basketball again.
Why? You're not going to play basketball again?
What are you looking for? Just sleep.
Chi Ho...
I'm sorry, San.
This is...
Our only way to survive.
I'm not trying to kill you! I'm trying to save you!
Drop the gun first! I knew something was funky when you came to save me!
It's not that!
If we don't do this before Gyeongseong, we'll both be dead!
Who told you to do this?
Just trust me, San!
This is the only way for both of us to live!
I'll take care of you for the rest of your life!
I'll let you live in comfort again!
You crazy bastard! Let go of my hand!

His life is over if he doesn't have a finger.
You've handled this difficult task very well.
I'm going to kill you!
Is Kang San coming back to the basketball club?
How could he play basketball without a finger?
I never volunteered. I got dragged to Manchuria.
He talks too much.
Bring me back my In Soo!
Have the headquarters dispatch police officers.
He'll be able to play basketball, right?
How could he play with this hand?
He told me to severe his body.
Say it again!
It's my fault.
I want to fight for my country.
Welcome to the Dawn!
