GYEONGSEONG CREATURE
Since I was young,
I dreamed of an ordinary life.
I dreamed of the possible conversations during family dinners,
and everyone sharing stories about how their day went.
And I dreamed about a future
with the person I love.
It's all I ever wanted.
I wished that I could…
live the kind of life
everyone else dreams of.
How foolish to think you could have such a dream.
To think a Joseon woman would dare to have any aspirations
is completely senile.
To do so will only bring suffering.
Why are you holding me hostage?
Well, because I was very curious
to finally meet Seishin's daughter in person.
Now that I have seen you up close… it's apparent you are indeed related.
You have her eyes.
How do you know who my mother is?
That is no concern of yours, I'm afraid.
But it's funny how the world works in mysterious ways, don't you think?
It was only a matter of time before we met.
In the end, we are all
linked together, Seishin, you, and myself.
Fate has bound us in the end.
Beom-o has told me he knows where Yoon Chae-ok was taken.
You trust him?
Do you seriously believe what he says at all?
How do we know he saw her?
Oh, but I'm sure of it!
I… I just saw her with my own two eyes.
You have no credibility, do you understand?
How could you betray the hand that feeds you, huh?
He's already heard those words from me.
You were living on the streets, kid.
Master Jang gave you a home. You are so ungrateful.
I already made that point too.
Lady Maeda said Master Jang wouldn't be harmed at all.
She told me he'd be safe if I reported the sleuth woman to her.
She said it would help Master Jang. I'm really sorry.
My goodness, you thick-headed idiot.
You actually believed that woman? Huh?
Where is she? Tell me where they are keeping Chae-ok.
Where is the prisoner?
Lady Maeda just sent us a Josenjing woman for you to see.
What's this for?
Just hold on to them.
If I don't make it back--
Say no more.
Then sell the pawnshop.
Will you do that?
The short fuses go off after five minutes,
and the long ones go off after eight minutes.
Each explosive has a blast radius of about five or six meters.
It may not bring the entire building down, but it will do some major damage.
Wait a second.
Master Jang, wait.
Good luck. I hope it all goes well.
I will hold onto these until you come back, okay?
Sure you'll be fine on your own?
Yes, I know my way around, so don't worry about me.
It'd be better if I'm alone.
I can get around much quicker. Less chance of getting caught.
Listen, Tae-sang--
Wait till later.
We can talk once this is finally over.
How about we grab a drink once we get through this?
I look forward to it.
Let's go.
It appears I have underestimated Lady Maeda.
She's very resourceful.
I wasn't sure if we could find you in time,
but she brought you right to me.
You should know,
your precious father will be joining us very soon.
This experiment will be the first of its kind.
A family reunion.
I wonder who, between you two,
will your mother devour first?
I hope she goes for your father's head just so you can watch.
Who goes there? Stop right there!
So how is it
that even now…
you're not afraid of me whatsoever?
You know that you can't win here.
Yet still… you look at me without any fear in your eyes.
Since we're asking questions, I have one for you.
Why are you all so shameless and proud of what you do in here?
You completely violated my mother…
and ruined my family from having a happy life.
You've murdered so many innocent people, yet stand there so proud. It's delusional.
How can you be so shameless about everything you have done?
The science I've done here will create a new era in this world.
This is my greatest achievement,
and it towers above your comprehension, Josenjing.
You're no scientist.
You're just crazy.
Do you think by justifying and glorifying what you did here…
will erase all the crimes you have committed here in Joseon?
You can pretend all you want to,
but it's crystal clear to the rest of the world
how inferior you must all feel for you to occupy Joseon.
Lt. Kato?
Lt. Kato!
What is it now?!
Help me, Mother.
That's right.
Don't move, or I'll shoot!
Stay right where you are,
or I will shoot her, Seishin.
Just do it!
Shoot her now!
No!
GYEONGSEONG CREATURE BETWEEN THE END AND ANOTHER BEGINNING
EPISODE 10
I heard that next month you are returning to Tokyo.
Wow, I'm so jealous.
Does that mean your anatomy book will get published once you're there?
It's a done deal?
Yes, I suppose so.
Whoa. Are you going to be famous?
She's really pretty. Who is she?
Your Josenjing girlfriend?
No, it's Seishin. It was when she first arrived.
Wait, uh, seriously, that woman was her?
Wow!
She had such a pretty face.
No wonder her husband couldn't forget about her.
Oh, she had a husband?
What, you didn't know that she had a husband and a daughter?
Well, she did.
And apparently, her husband came looking for her.
He requested that we let him see his wife.
MILITARY USE GASOLINE
-Master Jang, it's you. -And it's you, sir.
Bring all the nitrogen gas we have!
Release every canister!
Do not let the creature come up to this level!
Yes, sir!
Be quiet.
It's the creature. Go get her!
The rest of you,
hold on to the woman. She goes with us.
So are you saying that my daughter
was arrested and brought back to this hospital again?
Sir, I'm sorry.
I should have never left your daughter all alone.
Here, take this.
A ship is leaving to Shanghai very early tomorrow morning.
Chae-ok is wanted for assassinating Director Ichiro.
Your only way out of Joseon is to board that ship with her.
Listen, Master Jang.
Whatever your plan was, I'll do it. Just get yourself and Chae-ok out of here.
She won't get onto that ship unless you're with her.
Let her go!
Don't let the creature pass through! Soldiers, attack!
Help me, Mother!
No!
Hurry!
We have the creature blocked on level two. I don't know how long we can hold it.
Where is Lt. Kato?
He was heading east towards the emergency exit with the Joseon woman.
Take your men to level two and stop the creature from getting out.
Do what you need to do to stop it. Don't let it escape.
Yes, sir!
Damn it.
That was Chae-ok they were talking about.
I see an emergency stairwell by the central elevator.
We can get there undetected. Let's head over that way.
What are you doing? This is mine.
Let me take care of this for you.
I want you to get Chae-ok out of here, understand?
No, this is my responsibility. Give it back.
-Master Jang, I will do this. -No, you won't!
Not once have I ever placed my responsibility onto somebody else.
I'd never willingly put you or anyone in this type of danger, so just forget it.
Let me do this so I can keep you and Chae-ok out of harms way.
If you really want to protect my daughter,
then the right thing to do for her sake is to let me do this.
When will you get it?
Listen to me.
This entire time, I have been living in my past.
And for once in the past ten years, I… I see a future.
A future for my daughter and you.
My heart is full because I know you will always have each other.
I want to stay here with my wife.
That is the job of a husband, and I want to honor that.
Master Jang, take care of Chae-ok.
Please give her a happy life.
Promise me you'll do that.
-Lt. Kato, sir! -What's the situation?
We are setting up a perimeter of defense against the creature.
Just in case, it might be best
to shut down the underground laboratory to prevent more casualties.
I need to grab some things from my lab first.
Give me ten minutes.
When I get back, close this entire level.
-Take the woman to my upstairs office. -Yes, sir!
Seishin!
MILITARY USE GASOLINE
You better stay still, or I'll shoot you right here, understand?
No!
Someone help me…
My stomach,
it hurts so much…
Someone please help.
My baby…
Please, somebody help.
I don't wanna die.
Help me, sir.
My baby… my baby is coming.
Let's go this way.
Oh, sweetheart, there you are.
I've missed you so much.
How about we leave together?
Let's go and see our daughter. How does that sound?
We better go.
We have to find a way out while we still can.
I can't! Both of my parents are still down there.
Listen to me. It was your father's last request!
I gave your father my word that I would get you out of here safely.
That is the promise I made to your father. I intend to keep that promise.
So you met my father, and that's what he said to you?
It's what he wanted.
He wanted to be with your mother one last time.
There was a large explosion at Ongseong Hospital just now.
Ongseong Hospital had a huge explosion a couple of minutes ago!
It shook the entire building!
The fire department is on its way over, but it's a complete disaster!
Hurry! We have to put out this fire!
-Hurry! Let's go! -Put this out now!
Can't let it spread!
I need more water! More water!
Bring more water!
Put it out, now!
The creature is nowhere to be seen, sir.
It was not found in Area One either.
What are the chances it died in the fire or got crushed by the rubble?
There'd still be pieces of it. There's nothing here.
What?! Where could it have gone?
I don't know, sir!
It looks like the entrance is open thanks to all the firefighters.
It's your way out.
You can escape through all the chaos that's happening.
I got it from here. You can't risk being seen with us.
Master Jang…
We appreciate all the help and support you've given us, Sachimoto.
We can't thank you enough.
But I'm not letting you risk your life helping us escape.
Chae-ok, I want to apologize to you.
I should have told you.
I should have told you I knew your mother and where she was.
I am very sorry.
I made excuses to myself that there was nothing I could do
because of the times we live in.
But the truth is,
I was afraid.
I should have helped her.
Instead, I was just a bystander.
We understand.
Sachimoto, please take care of yourself.
-We need more help! -Help us put this fire out!
We need to get this thing under control now!
Oh.
Newspaper, ma'am.
I'm here on behalf of Mr. Wang tonight.
He said this was a message from Master Jang.
Beom-o, listen, get Mr. Park over here. Tell him it's very urgent.
Tell him to bring his rickshaw. Go!
Hold on there… Huh? I will do it. Taking a car would be a lot faster.
And what if the police bureau sees you?
Nobody will notice me. I'll be very careful!
Just stop it. We have to be very discreet here.
Let me do it. I can deliver it for you.
If I use my bicycle, I can get there a lot quicker than a rickshaw.
The police won't notice because they never pay attention to me.
Just give me a chance.
I want the opportunity to prove that I'm trustworthy.
Please?
Follow him.
Thank you, Mr. Wang.
In the morning, please visit Mrs. Nawol to receive your final payment.
Please be careful, Master Jang.
VICIOUS KILLER
I arranged passage for us to Incheon. We better go.
What's the matter?
Why don't we end things here?
From this point forward, I go on alone.
What do you mean, go on alone?
I'm the one who killed Director Ichiro, not you.
It's me they are looking for here.
I may have to live the rest of my life constantly on the run,
never knowing when I'll be killed or if I will get to live another day.
And I've made the decision to go with you anyway.
It just doesn't make sense to drag you into this.
It's not fair for you to carry my burden as well.
Do you not, um…
like me?
That's not what I was trying to say.
For a second there, I was a bit worried.
We're sticking together, no matter what.
Are you sure about this?
I am.
Remember… when you were looking for me?
This man standing in front of you now
barely escaped death the first time around.
I'm here all because…
I've been given a second chance.
So this time I'm staying by your side.
They'll never stop looking for us. You know that, right?
I'll do whatever's needed to protect us.
I can't imagine my life without you, Chae-ok.
We're meant for each other.
It found a way out.
We can't delay our escape any longer.
We have to make our way to Incheon or be left behind.
Someone's coming, look.
-Beom-o! Are you okay? -Yes.
I'm sorry I'm so late.
I had to shake someone off my tail along the way.
Well done, Shiro. You did good.
I didn't do anything. It's not what it looks like.
I didn't mean for this to happen. I swear to you, Master Jang. I swear.
Get outta here. Find somewhere safe to hide.
In any case,
it seems you are a man of your word.
Once you set your mind on something,
you go through great lengths to make sure you succeed.
Although demolishing an entire hospital
was a bit excessive, no?
Yet it doesn't compare to what you all did to those people imprisoned there.
Oh really, now? What are you going to do?
Will you really give up everything
for that rebel woman?
A poor Josenjing, no less.
I already gave you my answer. It hasn't changed.
There was once a time I considered you a true friend.
To be honest, I never thought this is how it would end for us.
But I suppose our friendship wasn't meant to last anyway.
Come to think of it,
why, this is quite familiar.
Unfortunately, you are not the only friend to have turned against me.
There's a woman from my childhood.
To think your mother and I were once friends.
It seems
the two of you will have to die.
This is the end for both of you.
So long.
Attack!
We have to go.
Hang on to me!
Chae-ok.
Get up.
Chae-ok.
Get up, Chae-ok.
Mother, please.
You… have to stop this…
I know you're… you're in pain. I understand.
I…
I love him.
He is someone that I love so much, like you.
Mother!
Please…
let's… let's just stop this, okay?
Let's just stop this, huh?
Chae-ok.
Chae-ok… Chae-ok!
Chae-ok!
You're gonna be okay. Just hold on a little longer.
We said that we'd be together.
Just try… to hang on to me.
Chae-ok, please… just try to get up.
Master Jang, look, the cherry…
blossoms have lost their flowers.
Stay with me, Chae-ok.
Stay by my side.
I want you to stay with me.
Chae-ok.
No!
Don't leave me, please!
Please! No! Why?!
Why?!
No! Why?!
Please don't leave me!
Please don't go!
Oh, please, come back. I… I'm begging you. Please!
Lt. Kato!
-Lt. Kato! -Shh!
Don't wake it up.
It's beautiful.
My friend asked that I personally deliver this message to you.
What friend?
His name is… Master Jang. I believe you've met.
FAREWELL
FROM JUNG TAE-SANG OF THE HOUSE OF GOLDEN TREASURE
FROM AKIKO COURTESAN OF SPRING MOON HALL
FROM PRIVATE CHOI YEONG-GWAN OF DISEASE CONTROL PLATOON
FROM YOON JUNG-WON SLEUTH
FROM YOON CHAE-OK SLEUTH
FROM CHOI SEONG-SIM
FAREWELL
It's so beautiful tonight.
I know! Drinks are on me.
In the end,
justice will prevail.
We are finally free now.
And in the end, you were a tremendous help.
If you hadn't come with me that day to convince Comrade Lee In-Hyeok,
this rebellion would not have been successful.
So it turns out you're a patriot after all.
Thanks for the drink.
I'll see you later.
Oh! Comrade Jang!
What a big achievement it is to fight for our nation's freedom.
We heard everything you did. You're a fighter. You're a true patriot.
-Huh? -Hear, hear!
That's right!
By any chance, are you in desperate need for money?
What's that?
If you have any valuable items to pawn off,
swing by my shop.
I'll make sure you get a good deal.
Oh, by the way,
don't ever call me Comrade Jang again.
I'm Master Jang of the House of Golden Treasure.
Well, then.
Listen, Tae-sang.
I need to be really honest with you here.
I betrayed you and gave up your name.
I ratted out my best friend.
Actually, I ratted out everybody.
I was tortured and begged for my life like a coward.
We can talk once this is finally over.
How about we grab a drink once we get through this?
Silk! Come take a look at our silk!
Have a taste.
Oh, thank you. This is delicious.
Silk!
-Yes. -Special sale tonight.
Good evening, sir.
Ask them to bring some green onion.
-Absolutely. -Please slice some of that meat.
-Yes, that's good. -Hey, excuse me!
I'd like one gukbap!
Please move out of the way.
Sorry, I need the space.
I'll take two of those.
How about we go inside? The night's getting cold.
That year,
that particular spring in Gyeongseong passed by in the blink of an eye.
And in August of that year,
we finally recovered what was taken from us.
As she once said,
the cherry blossoms
have already begun to fall.
The welfare of the wounded and the war sufferers
and those who have lost their homes and livelihoods
are the objects of our profound solicitude.
Hooray for the independence of Korea!
Lady Maeda.
As of today, Ongseong Hospital is closing its doors permanently.
The entire staff will be leaving.
They will return to Japan within a fortnight.
You must also make a decision.
Now that you no longer have a purpose in Gyeongseong,
will you go back to Kyoto?
Or…
would you like to continue exploring new possibilities together with me?
As for me,
I'm still waiting for what I have dreamed of.
Chae-ok.
IN REMEMBRANCE OF OUR COLLEAGUES KIM HYEON-JUNG AND SEO JI-HUN
JUNE 25TH 4:20 A.M.
SILENT PROTEST
DREAMS COME TRUE
Ho-jae, we're ready. Let's go!
