I hereby order all policemen
under the Japanese Consulate General in Myeongjeong, Gando!
Enter the police station and shoot those rebels to death!
Immediately subdue the Joseon-born rebels
who are illegally occupying the property of the great Empire of Japan,
and shoot them to death!
That is the way of the great Empire of Japan
and the way to repay His Majesty for His grace upon us!
All troops!
Charge!
Why aren't you going?
Why aren't you charging in?
You saw for yourself how fierce they are, Mr. Yamada.
We don't want to die!
Are you betraying His Majesty's grace?
All of you!
Are you betraying His Majesty's grace?
Go!
All of you! What are you doing?
Are you betraying His Majesty's grace?
Then you lead the way, Mr. Yamada.
You owe His Majesty more than any of us, don't you?
Actually,
I don't owe him that much, you know.
I have never even seen him.
All troops! Stand by for now!
Yoon, we don't have many guns.
We can't hold out for long like this.
Seon-bok.
Do you have any ideas?
You've lived here longer than we have, so you know this place better.
Talk to me.
Well, yeah, I do know a way…
No. It's too reckless.
When that bastard Jang Ki-ryong returns…
we will all die.
Rather than waiting for them to come and hack us into pieces…
Yoon,
we should try and do something, even if it is reckless, don't you think?
So tell us, Seon-bok.
What way are you talking about?
Well,
one of us has to get out of here first.
There is a wagon behind my inn.
If we can bring it over here, we can end all of this in one shot.
What is in that wagon, exactly?
Come on. Stop hesitating and give us more details already.
It's called a Maxim machine gun. I paid the Czechs a lot of money for it.
It's killer. You can trust me.
But to go and get it amidst all this,
you need someone nimble-footed, agile, and swift
who can dodge all the bullets raining down on them!
What?
Why are you looking at me like that?
You're making me nervous.
Shit. He has to be a good shooter too.
Fuck.
Mr. Yamada,
shouldn't we at least do something at this point?
Like charging in or delivering concentrated fire.
Superintendent Ōoka would have definitely done that.
What are you saying?
Are you saying that I'm not as good as Superintendent Ōoka right now?
It's still not too late.
Tell me if it's too much. I can go.
Oh, it's fine.
I don't know about anything else, but I'm better at running than you are.
Be careful and take this.
Just in case.
Why bother? I can't even use it. It would only weigh me down.
Keep it. I'll be back in a flash.
I'm going now.
Stay safe, all of you. All right?
Why does that fucker talk like he's heading to his own death?
That was fucking close.
Mr. Yamada!
Shut up!
Stand by for now!
Stand by!
Shut up!
Oh fuck.
Mr. Yamada!
Damn it!
Catch that guy!
Quickly! Go and catch him!
It's just one man!
I fucking missed again. Are you kidding me?
How do I use this?
I nailed the stance though.
This is driving me nuts, damn it.
It's way too quiet.
Do you think something's happened?
What do you mean, "something's happened"?
Are you saying Choraeng-yi went out there and died or something?
Why would you even say something like that?
I'm just worried, that's all!
Stop it, both of you.
Let's hope the silence means all is well.
That's all we can do right now.
Mr. Hashimoto, bring all the bullets we have left.
What will you do with them, Mr. Yamada?
We may be really scared, but we also have a lot of bullets.
We're going to fire from here until they're all dead.
Go and get them.
Quickly!
Yes, sir!
Fucking hell!
What is this?
This is killer.
I can see Myeongjeong in the distance, General!
Kill them all as soon as we get there!
Get ready!
All troops! Take aim!
For His Majesty the Emperor,
don't spare any bullets--
Hey!
Have you eaten yet?
Eat the hell out of this, you fuckers!
Choraeng-yi!
Keep your heads down!
Guys!
Are you okay?
Oh, it's hot!
-What the heck? -Choraeng-yi!
Choraeng-yi. Choraeng-yi's here!
Mr. Choi!
Yoon! I'm here!
What did I tell you?
I told you I can do this!
Why aren't they coming out?
Did they all die…
I said I'm here!
I'm here…
Oh no! Did they all die?
Yoon!
Fucking hell! Did you not hear me?
Hey, you son of a bitch!
Hey, you fucking son of a bitch! I thought you were dead!
What's wrong with you? Why the hell are you crying?
You saved all of us. Good work, Choraeng-yi.
Sure. Can you get this guy off me? Let go, man!
Mr. Choi!
Choraeng-yi…
Good work.
You
uncivilized Joseon dogs…
Now, let's get out of here before Jang Ki-ryong arrives.
We also have to check up on Nam-chun.
Okay.
Let's hurry, everyone.
Before we go,
since this has happened,
can't we do the same to them too?
What do you mean by that?
Duh. I'm saying we should give them a dose of their own medicine.
Oh, it won't take long.
Not at all.
SEDITIOUS PERSON
Nam-chun…
Nam-chun.
SONG OF THE BANDITS
I kept thinking about it on the way here, Major.
I don't think they'll kill us.
They'll wrap it up with a little torture or a few dozen whippings.
Don't you agree?
I won't let harm come to you and the other men, so don't worry.
Really? Thank you, sir!
I'll trust and follow you till the end!
It hurts.
Oh, I'm sorry, sir. It hurts, right?
I'll be back in a while, so stay put.
Yes, sir.
If he's too harsh on you, just pretend you don't understand.
Keep saying, "Nani?"
I plan on using Jang Ki-ryong, the mounted bandit.
If things go according to plan,
the Fengtian Clique will not be able to obstruct our military activities.
The same goes for the Chinese government.
I will carry it out without mistakes and live up to your trust.
Thank you.
You drove your unit into annihilation and returned alone.
Coward.
I have no excuses, sir.
I will humbly accept any punishment you decide on.
I would love to punish you, but I cannot.
Governor-General Saito has requested that you be spared.
How nice to be the son of the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Korean Empire
and have the Governor-General personally step in to save your life.
Take your stupid subordinate with you back to Gyeongseong.
You are under probation until summoned.
DECIMATION CAMPAIGN AGAINST SEDITIOUS JOSEON PERSONS IN GANDO
I've been looking everywhere for you.
Mr. Choi.
Il-sik says he looked around Myeongjeong and the surrounding areas,
and it was deathly quiet, like a frozen lake.
I suppose we don't have to worry much.
We destroyed Myeongjeong and killed the Japanese consul and cops.
We should worry, even if it is quiet.
If something were to happen, wouldn't it have happened already?
I bet they can't find our village, so don't worry too much.
Go to Hanseong in the meantime.
What do you mean?
You'll never be able to see your hometown from here.
Hurry over and go see for yourself, kid.
I know you're here all the time because that lady is still on your mind.
I can't go anywhere right now. I have to protect the village.
My goodness.
Nothing's going to happen to us just because you're gone, so listen to me.
You have had your fair share of responsibilities
and have done all you can.
So take it easy now.
If you keep living like that, you will break your shoulder
from carrying that burden.
I don't mind carrying the burden for my family.
But she is certainly on my mind.
My goodness, the wind is chilly.
I'm fine. Let go.
Take a look at this!
Look! I was right, wasn't I?
Look here.
Seon-bok, 30 won. Byeong-pal, 100 won. That's a 70-won difference, right?
I told you I'd seen it. Why would you doubt me?
This is for real!
How did this happen?
This ass did nothing, so how is his bounty 100 won?
It's 100 won because I did many things.
It's not right to belittle my efforts just because you didn't see it, boss.
You're one funny bastard!
Say that again, you asshole!
I'm running out of money, hiding out like this.
Should I hand you over and make 100 won?
Do you wanna see me try?
No, ma'am. I apologize.
Hey, see how much is on me.
I mean, my bounty should be, like, 800 won, right?
What are you on about? You don't have one.
Oh, that fucking son of a bitch!
What kind of horseshit is that?
Let me see.
I…
risked my life killing all those Jappos. Shit!
Sorry to tell you this right now,
but mine's 1,000 won.
1,000?
You fucking son of a bitch.
You got with the Jappos, huh? Did you bribe them or something?
Nonsense!
Oh, I see what's going on! That's why yours is higher than mine!
For heaven's sake! You're fighting again?
Why would you even bother looking at stuff like that? You rascals!
When will you ever grow up? Just when?
How much am I?
Mr. Choi's bounty is 2,000 won, dude.
-Killer, huh? -What?
Fuck this shit!
That gramps shoots arrows! He barely killed anyone, damn it!
Oh my, Yoon! You're looking sharp.
You're not turning yourself in, are you?
I'm going to Gyeongseong for a while.
Gyeongseong? Why are you going--
Oh my gosh.
Wait, are you going to go meet that girl?
No, I'm just going to pay her a quick visit and come right back.
Don't worry about us. Have a safe journey.
I'll be back soon, so keep the village safe while I'm gone.
All of you. All right?
What is there to keep safe?
It's so peaceful every day that everyone's getting fat.
Hurry up and go. Don't worry about us.
I'll get going, then.
Bye.
Yoon. You have to be careful.
They put a 6,000-won bounty on your head.
Your face! Cover your face outside, okay?
Does that even make sense?
Why don't you hand it down as a family heirloom?
Where is Lee Yoon going?
His hometown.
He's off to meet his hometown.
What does that mean?
Oh, 2,000 won?
Wow, isn't she expensive?
Even I want to catch her.
The village you see over there is Yongchun.
Should we begin?
The Joseon-born rebels are running amok.
So I plan on taking this opportunity
to completely wipe out all the rebels active in Manchuria.
To achieve that, Jang Ki-ryong,
I'm going to need your forces.
Repay your debt to me.
I let you live last time when you attacked the armored truck.
What's your plan?
I know you can't deploy your men to Manchuria right now.
How do you plan on wiping them out?
Due to diplomatic issues with China,
Japan can't dispatch its military to Manchuria, including Gando, correct?
Back in the day,
Jie Zhitui cut his own thigh and fed his flesh to his lord.
Perhaps we should emulate that
for His Majesty the Emperor.
I'm Senior Inspector Nagano of the Yongchun Consulate.
State your purpose for bringing a large army here.
If I come to the conclusion
that you'll cause great harm to Japan's assets and its loyal subjects,
we will shoot you to death!
What are you doing?
Put your weapons down now and…
Excuse me for a moment.
Stay still, will you?
To protect our land…
kill them all!
Yes, sir!
40 JAPANESE KILLED IN YONGCHUN JAPAN TO SUBJUGATE MOUNTED BANDITS
I'm back.
Hee-shin.
There seems to be a problem with the electricity.
You should get warmed up first.
It's jujube tea, your favorite.
Thank you.
I appreciate it.
DECIMATION CAMPAIGN AGAINST SEDITIOUS JOSEON PERSONS IN GANDO
Aren't you curious?
Why I came back after only a few weeks
when I had asked you to wait a year…
and what happened to my hand.
Even though I was curious, I was going to wait
until you were ready to tell me, Major.
In the past few weeks…
a lot of things happened.
Around the time you left for your trip,
I found out that my uncle had joined the rebel forces.
I also learned that, under my uncle's orders,
someone was delivering independence funds to Changchun.
I wanted to catch the carrier myself.
But it wasn't as easy as I thought it would be.
The carrier slipped through my hands while my unit was almost annihilated.
And I've become a soldier who can't even shoot a gun.
I am a soldier who disgraced His Majesty…
and, compared to you, a hopelessly inadequate and foolish man.
Yes, that's what I am.
An incompetent and foolish man.
Go!
Will you still…
marry a man like me?
I promised, remember?
I'll only love you for the rest of my life.
I contacted you once I heard you were in Hanseong.
Thank you so much for making time to meet me, sir.
You risked your life to deliver the independence funds to Gando.
It's only right that I should.
So, what did you want to see me for?
I have intel that needs to be relayed urgently to the comrades in Gando.
Relaying it won't be a problem, but…
are you sure of its sources?
Yes. It's inside information from Nanam's 19th Division Command.
It says that within a few days,
a decimation campaign will begin against seditious Joseon-borns in Gando.
The Japanese main forces will cross over the Duman River and attack Gando.
That's not possible.
Japan can't dispatch its main forces to Gando
due to diplomatic issues with China.
Jang Ki-ryong, a Manchu mounted bandit, raided the Japanese consulate in Yongchun.
You heard the news, right?
Senior Inspector Nagano died there,
including 39 other Japanese people.
This led the 19th Division to meet with the Fengtian Clique.
The loyal subjects of our great empire died on your lands!
The Japanese Army
will take care of this matter ourselves.
And what happened?
It's obvious
since Japan had a pretext for its actions.
All right.
We'll go with what you said.
I'll allow military activities of the Japanese Army in Manchuria.
However,
if so much as a single Chinese person dies,
then it will be war!
Employ a pro-Japanese mounted bandit to attack his own country's consulate.
Use that as an excuse to obtain rights to execute military operations in Gando.
Then send a large army to annihilate the Joseon people in one swoop.
Is this their plan to decimate the seditious Joseon-borns in Gando?
Yes.
Now tens of thousands of Japanese troops
will head over to Gando and kill all the Joseon people.
If we do not prepare thoroughly, there will be serious harm.
Let's talk outside.
GYEONGSEONG
Many would say that we should leave Gando to avoid the decimation.
It's impossible for the Independence Army to beat the Japanese Army as of now.
Please don't give up and fight until the end
for the countless compatriots in Gando.
I will join you shortly.
Do you plan on quitting the Government-General Office?
I've given it much thought, and it's for the best.
I plan to gain information from the 19th Division
and deliver it to you.
That's too dangerous.
What if you get caught by them?
I've lived as an independence fighter and a daughter of a pro-Japanese nobleman
for over 20 years.
I'll be all right.
What's wrong, Ms. Nam?
That's the man from Mount Cheonbo…
Perhaps he's here for you.
Neither he nor I…
should be tied down by our personal feelings.
Only then
can we bring forth the world that we both want.
Please stay alive.
You must stay alive for as long as I live.
When we meet again…
please tell me your name.
I don't care if it takes two or 20 years.
Let's stay alive
and meet again.
Oh, welcome.
-I'd like some flowers. -Flowers?
I'll stay alive and come find you, Hee-shin.
What?
Hee-shin met up
with an independence fighter?
Yes, sir.
So you're saying
she took the information she stole from me
and gave it to the Independence Army?
Yes. I heard everything, master.
It sounded like
she had helped transport the independence funds to Gando…
I'm the fucking idiot here.
I'm the idiot.
I only trusted and loved her.
But I knew nothing.
Even when I went to catch the independence fighter
who was meeting with Jang Seok…
Hee-shin.
Even when she told me about a random business trip to Gando…
It was scheduled at the last minute, so I didn't have time to tell you.
I had no idea she was one of them.
I believed everything she said.
No wonder Uncle kept his mouth shut until the fucking end.
How amazing.
Just amazing.
Some fucking amazing independence fighters they are!
I hate to bring this up right now,
but shouldn't you report her first?
Since it seems certain that she took part in the Independence Army,
even though it's someone you love, I think you should report her…
Don't you dare run that mouth of yours.
I'll do as I see fit, whether I report her or take her as my wife.
Keep this in mind.
We are the only ones who know about this, Park.
If anyone else finds out,
I'll consider it as proof that you spilled the beans,
and I'll rip you, your kids,
and your wife into pieces.
Understand?
Yes, sir.
I will keep that in mind, master!
Take this and get your kids some nice food.
And Tae-ju will be here in a bit, so piss off.
Yes, sir.
Excuse me.
BLOCK 2, MAIN DISTRICT DAESEONG MYEONOK, 1:00 P.M.
-Hello. -A bowl of noodles, please.
It's nice to see you here, of all places.
Have you been well?
People like us should not be doing well.
Let's have a meal together.
Thank you.
Why did you want to see me?
I found it odd that the man who jumped into the fire to save his family
was now in Hanseong.
You don't know what's going on, right? About what's happening in Gando right now.
The decimation campaign
against the seditious Joseon-borns in Gando will soon begin.
The decimation against the Joseon-borns in Gando.
What is that?
Katayama of the 19th Division and the pro-Japanese bandit,
Jang Ki-ryong, came together to wipe out the Independence Army in Gando.
It's clear that countless Joseon people will be injured and killed
since no one has a tattoo on their head saying, "I'm an independence fighter."
So, something like the Militia Annihilation Campaign…
that took place 11 years ago…
is now going to happen in Gando?
Yes.
I understand why you have come all the way to Gyeongseong,
but in this day and age,
we cannot be tied down by our personal feelings.
We must erase all longing and affection we may have for someone.
Only then can we bring forth the world that we want, can we not?
The train from Gyeongseong to Wonsan is departing now!
All aboard!
We are ready, General.
Please give us the command!
Move out.
Yes, sir!
I will make you happy
for the rest of our lives.
All troops!
Onward!
Drench Gando in blood.
Kill them all!
