Episode 20
I don't want any rebels in my squad.
Not showing up for duty without calling.
Incompetence, losing Bridal Mask every time.
And most importantly.
The fact that he's Korean.
Sato Hiroshi is fired as of now.
Leave Chongro Police Station right now!
Captain Kimura. Pull him out of here right now!
Chief!
Not showing up for duty can be reason for a suspension.
But it can't be enough of a reason for getting fired.
Also how can I get dismissed for being Korean?
You dare to refute my command?
Your command goes against the policy of integrating Koreans to the empire.
Please reconsider.
I will not move a single step from here.
Get the hell out when I say so! You dare to talk back to Murayama Yoshio!
Chief! Please stop!
Let go!
Integrate Koreans? It's just a strategy propaganda to rule you. You actually believe that?
The first-class citizens of the Great Empire of Japan
will never be like you who have been ruled by other countries for their entire history.
Chief! Please calm down.
I will deal with this.
Ishida! Takeda! What are you doing?
Throw him out right away.
Yes sir.
You can't do this! Please reconsider!
Chief! Chief! Please reconsider.
He said that he will never be tamed. No wonder he said that.
Don't ever let him close to Chongro Station.
Yes sir.
Don't ever let me see you again.
If I ever see you again...
I don't think I can hold back then.
Listen! He's restricted to enter this place from now on.
Yes sir.
Captain Kimura.
That bastard! Pull him out!
Captain Kimura!
This is not fair.
I will take any penalty.
Just stop him from firing me.
Captain Kimura! Kimura Shunji! Kimura Shunji.
Lieutenant...
Captain! I feel alive again!
Did you hate Lee Kang To that much?
Of course I did!
I always had a stomachache because of him.
Now that he's fired... I can tell you now.
It was actually Captain Kenji who killed Lee Kang To's mother.
What? What are you talking about?
Why would my brother kill Kang To's mother?
You know how he could be sometimes.
He thought that Lee Kang To's brother, the retard was Bridal Mask. And he pointed the gun at him.
Lee Kang San is Bridal Mask?
He was completely wrong.
He was worried that he killed someone innocent afterward.
Fortunately, the Koreans set the house on fire.
His mother and his brother seemed like they were killed by Koreans.
Why are you telling me this now?
You were always his friend.
I thought you could side with him more if you knew.
Also, he doesn't know about it either.
Are you sure that he doesn't know?
Of course not.
You think he wouldn't do anything if he knew?
He would have killed Kenji right away.
Could it be that Bridal Mask who killed my brother was Lee Kang To?
What's wrong sir?
If Kang To knew that my brother killed his mother...
If he is pretending that he doesn't know...
Captain?
Goiso! Get Lee Kang To! Now!
Captain!
Goiso! Arrest Lee Kang To immediately.
I have to go to the Executor's office.
Captain! Why Lee Kang To again!
Go now!
Yes sir.
Is Rara here?
What's going on?
What happened to your face?
The new chief fired me.
Fired? You lost your job?
It would have been impossible without Director Kimura's approval.
I think you can change Director Kimura's mind.
I asked them to have Lee Kang To on our side. And they fired him?
Do they want to start a war with me?
Do you know why I was fired?
Because I'm Korean.
Don't worry.
I was about to ask for your admittance to Kishokai to the chairman.
Kishokai... So the name is Kishokai.
I'm even kicked off from the police station. How will I become a member?
What happened to your confidence and ambition that you want to become the director and the executor?
I'm always full of confidence. I can even stop tanks.
That's what the chairman wants the most as he is in his seventies.
What kind of man is he?
He believes that a man with ambition can accomplish more than a man with competence.
I'm sure that he will like you.
When will I be able to see him?
Soon?
Thank you.
Come to Geumhwa Jung if you want to know the results.
Around seven o'clock?
Okay, I will be there at seven.
Bye! I will see you soon.
Kenji killed Lee Kang To's mother?
Kenji killed his mother?
Then Lee Kang To could have killed your brother donning the Bridal Mask.
We can't be sure yet.
Lee Kang To may not know that Kenji killed his mother and brother.
If he is pretending that he doesn't know...
Then the possibility of him being Bridal Mask is bigger!
Which is why we can't kick him out form the police.
You must convince Chief Murayama.
This is Director Kimura Taro.
Huh? With Chief Murayama?
Did you call for us, Chairman?
In Beijing there is a battle between the Imperial Army against the Chinese.
During an important time like this, instead of raising the morale...
you're causing trouble among Kishokai members?
Trouble? I'm misinformed sir.
Director Kimura. I heard that you fired Sato Hiroshi.
As soon as you heard my proposal to admit him as a Kishokai member...
What is your reason?
Sir! Lee Kang To who has changed his name to Sato Hiroshi could be Bridal Mask.
Bridal Mask?
You're mistaken.
Your son, Kimura Shunji...
is sure that Lee Kang To is not Bridal Mask. He once told me that.
Anyhow, we cannot accept a suspicious Korean into the Kishokai circle.
Chairman! Sato Hiroshi is the most loyal...
I will dismiss the Sato Hiroshi case then.
Chief Murayama.
Director Kimura.
From the East Asian Troop, there will be a message to the executor tomorrow.
It's an urgent call to gather comfort women to raise morale.
Prepare yourselves to give the answer to the executor.
Yes sir.
I want you to stop visiting me like this without notice.
I came to ask you for something.
I hope you can comply.
I want to make Lee Kang To a Kishokai member.
But because your father was completely against it, I didn't get my way.
Lee Kang To? Him as Kishokai?
Why do you want to admit Lee Kang To into Kishokai so badly?
You once said that he was Konno's man, and he needs to be gotten rid of.
Konno is dead.
His loyalty to the empire is exceptional. He will be such a loss.
Even so, throw him away. I can't accept Lee Kang To.
Why not? I thought he was your friend?
You're not thinking that he's Bridal Mask, like your father are you?
You even said that you're sure that he's not Bridal Mask yourself.
I found something else out.
Now there is a greater possibility that Lee Kang To is Bridal Mask.
You found out something else? What is it?
You don't need to know. I will catch him anyway.
Anyway? Anyway?
I want to kill Bridal Mask just as much as you do.
What if I catch him first?
It all happened for the best. Just quit the police.
After I heard that Kimura Shunji was suspicious of you...
I couldn't sleep for a single day.
Captain Dam Sa Ri asked me to stay in.
He will need help from an Imperial Policeman.
I have to stick with them.
But the chief is so stubborn. It won't be easy getting back in.
I don't know how much power Rara has within Kishokai.
But she said that she will recommend me. We will have to see.
What are you going to do after you join them?
If I join them, I can kill the chairman first.
You can't do it alone.
I can't handle them all alone. So killing the head first...
is the best strategy.
Master Lee!
Don't worry.
I have to go.
I found something else out.
There is a greater possibility that Lee Kang To is Bridal Mask.
Katsuyama!
When you fought Bridal Mask at Geumhwa Jung, where did you cut him?
Right arm and right thigh.
Right arm and thigh?
Oh no.
Everyone does not welcome you yet.
That's regretful.
Just give me more time.
I will persuade the chairman.
The man who raised you as a daughter and made you into a singer...
it's not the chairman is he?
Otherwise, how could you have become a member of Kishokai?
Do you want to know about me? Or Kishokai?
Both.
Do you really want to know about me?
You couldn't even remember me.
Right now, your heart is occupied with Oh Mok Dan.
I lost my parents when I was nine.
I walked to the Geisha house on my own.
I can read a man's heart just by looking at their eyes.
I know that you came to me in order to get closer to Kishokai.
But don't lie that you want to know about me.
I made you say those words. I'm such a jerk.
But I did want to know about your life.
You had to cry in front of the Japanese in your white clothes.
How you became Rara who sings the national anthem in front of the Joseon Executor.
I really wanted to know.
Even though I live as Sato Hiroshi now...
if the same thing happens as 5 years ago...
I will save you again.
Whether you're Rara or just a Geisha...
Let's make a toast.
For Sato Hiroshi.
If you're Bridal Mask...
You must have seen that I tried to kill the woman you love.
But you say you will still save me if the same thing five years ago happens...
It's obviously a lie.
But why do I wish that it was true?
You need to wake up!
You just confirmed that he is Bridal Mask.
You can't step back or cut him some slack.
What are you waiting for? What?
Katsuyama!
Go get Masako.
Joseon Executor's Office.
The East Asian Army commander sent me an urgent message this morning.
The battle that started nearby Beijing
has developed into a fierce war even near Shanghai.
The Chinese forces are powerful.
And we're being outnumbered.
Even since the Russo-Japanese war...
The biggest damage to Japan was not done by the foreign troops or guerilla warfare.
It was done by sexually transmitted diseases.
Sir! We do not have enough comfort women to raise the morale of all the soldiers.
We must pick the healthy and young women
and send them as war supply.
The Chongro Police Department
will collect these war supply and support our troops.
You must remember this.
The Great Empire of Japan is a nation that signed to the Modern League of Nations
which is against prostitution.
No one should know that this office, the police, or the troops have gathered these women.
Of course sir.
We will gather the women using the Koreans that work for us.
And we will keep the fact that we're involved to absolute secrecy.
Even if this is found out later
they will not have single evidence that the military was involved.
There is no record. How will they know?
Please use caution so that it doesn't cause trouble.
Yes sir.
We will pick the poor healthy girls.
Good. Good. Excellent!
Hello!
Who are you?
You're so pretty.
Oh my! Oh my! There are so many pretty girls here?
Can I help you?
You must be the troupe leader here.
There is no one watching circus these days. You guys must be broke.
Who are you guys?
You scared me! Didn't you read th newspapers?
We're collecting nurses that will be sent to China. Look!
[Nurses Wanted for Shanghai]
You pay 50 Won per month?
I've never learned this. How will I nurse someone?
You just have to bandage, wash, and feed the wounded soldiers.
There is nothing to learn.
Excuse me! Do you only take girls?
I'm really good at bandaging.
Come on! It's nurses! Nurses!
The Kyungsung newspaper recruiting department is recruiting the nurses that will be in war?
No one will work for the lonely soldiers here.
Get out! Get out! Get out!
Just write your name! Just write your name here!
And you will make 50 Won per month!
-I said get out! -I mean it! 50 Won!
-Go! -Wait!
-Go out! -Wait!
-Get out! -50 Won! 50 Won!
You just need to write your name.
Masako! What happened last night? Where's Rara?
You're looking for Rara first?
What happened?
As soon as you fell asleep... She left me to you and left.
She left as soon as I fell asleep?
For Sato Hiroshi!
I only drank only one shot.
Lee Kang To followed you from the hotel?
He must have a motive in getting close to you.
I know. Don't worry.
Rara! Rara! Are you inside?
Rara! Open the door! Rara!
Rara! Rara!
Yes this is Kimura Shunji from the Chongro office.
Captain Kimura! Will you take Lee Kang To away from me?
What do you mean?
Lee Kang To is at Asuka Hotel?
Okay then. I will be right there.
Rara!
Rara! Are you not there?
I have something to tell you!
Rara!
Rara! Rara!
Hey! Lee Kang To!
I've been looking everywhere for you.
It was really hard for me to convince them.
Let's go back to the station.
Back to the station?
You mean report for duty?
Man! Yes!
We're late. Get in the car.
We're in trouble.
Everyone is about to leave right now.
Something is strange.
They have no medical knowledge. And they are going to pay 50 Won per month?
It's hard for men who went to college to make that much money.
No matter how I think about it...
sending young girls to the battlefield worries me.
I will find out.
Lieutenant! Are you okay?
This is Sato Hiroshi.
It's me.
Okay, how is it?
People came to recruit for nurses this morning from Kyungsung newspaper.
The members are considering going.
Is this trustworthy?
Really? Okay, I will look into it.
Where are you right now?
I'm with the circus.
I'm not going to Sun Hwa's anymore. I will stay at Kyungsung Inn.
Call the circus company or the inn.
Okay, I will call you back.
Stand-by!
Attend-hut!
Salute!
At ease.
These are urgent calls.
As of now...
we will collect comfort women in all eight provinces of Korea.
You will help these private firms recruit young women.
You will give extra attention to keep the rumors from spreading.
Also, the fact that we're helping with this
must be kept absolutely secret from the Koreans.
Do your best to collect the war supply for your troops fighting.
Yes sir.
Congratulations.
Director Kimura has hereby
appointed you as Lieutenant.
Me sir?
I'm the Lieutenant?
Thank you sir!
Sato Hiroshi.
I mean Lee Kang To will be demoted to sergeant.
That's an order from the director.
Sergeant Lee Kang To. Do you have objections?
No sir.
Dismissed!
Congratulations, Lt. Goiso.
I envy you, sir!
Sit down.
Did you hear what kind of man Chief Murayama was?
I didn't want him to notice our friendship.
I had to stand down yesterday.
Convincing him was hard.
He won't even listen to his superiors.
Father was against you getting fired.
We barely kept you as a sergeant.
Hang in there.
You will get back your position.
Thank you.
Oh yes... I noticed that you didn't take my place.
I looked everywhere for you yesterday.
Go back to my place.
That's an order.
Okay.
Yes, this is Kimura Shunji.
Esther?
Sato Hiroshi! Wait there.
Yeah... Now?
Okay, I will be right there.
Oh Mok Dan wants to see me.
You drive.
You want to demote me as a sergeant to keep me by your side.
What are you trying to do?
Are you suspecting me again?
Lee Kang To... If you're really Bridal Mask.
Just watch. I will uncover that mask of yours.
Are there a lot of girls who applied in Seoul?
Of course! Look at all these names.
2000 people are going from Seoul!
Here! Age!
Good work officers!
Hi! Good work officers!
Are you really going to pay 50 Won per month?
Of course! They can even pay more!
50 Won! 50!
Just imagine! You will make money. You will learn skills!
What are you doing Kakawa?
They want us to back off so that they can hold a performance.
We need to make money to survive!
Who will come to the circus show where there are a bunch of cops.
How long are you going to monitor us?
What did we do wrong exactly?
Don't you know that for some people this is the only fun part in life?
They have nothing to laugh about.
Do you have to take the circus away from them?
Kakawa, fall back.
-But sir... -Now.
Yes sir. Fall back.
In the future, we won't monitor you anymore.
You can be at ease and work now.
Oh Mok Dan! May I have a word with you?
Don't let them go.
They are not recruiting nurses. They are recruiting comfort women.
Okay.
I believe you.
I won't monitor you anymore.
But! You must give me some of your heart!
Let go! Stop!
Aren't you hiding something from me?
If there is something you're hiding.
I will find out for sure. And I will destroy it.
Sergeant Sato!
Come with me.
Kang To! You know I...
I will get Bridal Mask who killed my brother.
But why aren't you going after the man who killed your brother and mother?
If it was up to me...
I would have done that first.
Oh yes... Didn't you tell me?
You said that you couldn't die while those who did that to your family lives.
But you're not even looking for those who killed your brother and mother?
Do you know something?
You know who killed my brother and mother don't you?
Tell me! Tell me now!
If I knew, I would have told you already.
You think I would just shut up like this?
Sorry I brought it up.
Let's go.
Kimura Shunji.
You must have found that your brother killed my brother and my mother?
Fine! Let's keep on playing this game.
Gin Pei remembered Sato Hiroshi.
He's the man who saved your life at Myungwol Gwan five years ago.
I didn't recommend him for that reason, Father.
The comfort women's transportation from Seoul...
will be under your supervision.
Yes sir.
I will transport them to the front line.
In my opinion...
I think this is the perfect opportunity to receive accreditation for your school.
Don't you think so, Count Lee?
If the female schools stand up to send the women as nurses
it will be accredited very soon.
How many should we send?
Oh my...
More the merrier, don't you think?
Yes, Countess Lee.
If I tell the graduating classes that they have a chance for further study...
there will be lot of volunteers.
Oh my! That's a great idea!
Honey, Honey?
With your ardent patriotism, Japan will surely win the war.
Count Lee! Let's have a toast for that!
For the Empire's Victory! Cheers!
- Cheers! - Cheers!
Grandma! I'm going to work as a nurse.
Nurse?
What's that?
I take care of the soldiers at the hospital during the day. I get to study at night.
I get to study abroad, so I will be like those rich girls.
I can make the money for your tuition. Do you have to go there?
Don't worry, Grandma.
The principal said that it was only offered to top students.
I will work hard and study hard to become a doctor.
And we will live happily after together.
My child! My child!
Are you coming home, Director Kimura?
This is my granddaughter.
Say hi.
Director! She was picked as a nurse at her school.
Will it be okay if she goes?
Don't worry and send her.
Thank you.
Thank you, sir!
Boo Yong! So Hwa! Are you ready?
We have to get out of Seoul now.
Mr. Cho! Bye!
I'm sorry sir.
Take care of yourselves.
Where do you think you're going?
Hwang Bu Yong! Yoon So Hwa!
You agreed to go join the nurses!
The contract is invalid when it's a lie.
They have made it clear that they don't want to go. Isn't this kidnapping?
You...
What are you doing?
Take them.
Yes sir.
Mr. Cho! Mr. Cho!
Get her too!
Go! Go!
Now!
If it wasn't for the captain, I would have killed you already!
Be careful.
Don't worry, Grandma.
Take care.
I will send you letters.
Soon Hee!
It's okay, Grandma.
Take it.
Buy yourself something delicious.
I have to go.
Go!
Soon Hee! Bye! Take care!
It's coming! It's coming!
They are here.
- Check the list. - Okay.
- Hello beautiful. - Hi.
You look so pretty today.
Let's check if we're missing anyone.
Oh Mal Soon.
Here.
Chik Soon.
Here.
You're so pretty.
It's Bridal Mask!
Bridal Mask!
Move! Move!
We're not going as nurses. We're going as comfort women!
We have to run!
You want to die?
Please! don't make me regret that I saved your life.
