"Episode 20" "I..." "Do not want an insubordinate officer among members of my force." "Lazy work-ethic, absent without leave for days..." "Incompetent, repeated failures to catch Bridal Mask..." "And most importantly, the fact that he is a person of Joseon!" "Sato Hiroshi, you are dismissed!" "Leave Jong Ro Station this instant!" "Superintendent Kimura." "Drag this bastard out of here right now!" "Chief." "Being absent without leave can be a reason for disciplinary action, however, it can't be a reason for dismissal." "Furthermore, how can the fact that I'm a Joseon person be the reason for dismissal?" "Commenting on my order?" "Chief, your words also go against Japan's slogan for the annexation of Korea which states that Korea and Japan are one body." "Please withdraw your command." "I..." "Cannot take even one step out of here." "If I told you to scram, you should scram!" "You dare to talk back to me, Murayama Yoshio?" "!" "This..." "Chief, restrain yourself!" "Korea and Japan are one body?" "!" "You believed a slogan that was only used strategically so that Japan could rule over Joseon?" "Do you think it makes sense for the people of the Great Empire of Japan to be considered equal to the people of Joseon, who have always been controlled by other countries?" "Chief, please calm down." "I will take care of him." "Ishida!" "Takeda!" "What are you doing?" "Throw him out immediately!" "Yes!" "Yes!" "This is unfair!" "Please withdraw your command!" "Chief!" "Chief!" "Please withdraw your command!" "He said that he's a bastard that can't be tamed." "The Commissioner's words were 100% correct." "Don't let him even loiter around Jong Ro Station ever again." "Yes." "From now on, don't appear in front of my eyes." "If this officer sees you again," "I don't think he'll be able to restrain himself." "Hey guards!" "From now on this bastard's not allowed inside, understand?" "Yes!" "Bridal Mask" "Superintendent Kimura!" "This Joseon bastard..." "Drag him out!" "Superintendent Kimura!" "Dismissal is unjust!" "Please prevent my dismissal!" "Superintendent Kimura!" "Kimura Shunji!" "Kimura Shunji!" "Lieutenant..." "Superintendent, now I feel like all of my worries have been lifted!" "Did you hate Lee Kang To that much?" "You can bet your life on it!" "That bastard!" "Standing behind him?" "Ugh!" "Since that bastard's been dismissed, I can finally tell you this without worry." "Actually," "Superintendent Kenji killed Lee Kang To's mother." "What did you say?" "What are you talking about?" "Why would my older brother kill Kang To's mother?" "You know that Superintendent Kenji was a bit off the wall." "He was convinced Lee Kang To's idiotic brother was Bridal Mask and pointed a gun at his mother." "Lee Kang San was Bridal Mask?" "He guessed wrong, completely wrong." "He guessed wrong and was worried because he'd killed his mother." "Fortunately, some Joseon people set the house on fire and they were blamed for killing his brother and mother!" "Why are you only telling me this now?" "Since he's your friend and you take care of him," "I thought you'd take care of him even more and shelter him even more if you knew that." "And also, I don't think he knows about it." "Lee Kang To really doesn't know?" "Of course!" "If he knew, do you think that bastard would've done nothing with that temper of his?" "He would've come here and killed Superintendent Kenji at once!" "By any chance, could the Bridal Mask that killed my older brother be Lee Kang To?" "Why?" "If Kang To knows my older brother killed his brother..." "If he knows, but is pretending not to..." "Superintendent?" "Koiso." "Catch Lee Kang To." "Quickly!" "Superintendent!" "Koiso, find Lee Kang To at once." "I'm going to see the Commissioner." "Superintendent, Lee Kang To?" "Again, why?" "Hurry up!" "Yes." "Ra Ra's inside, isn't she?" "What's the matter?" "What happened to your face?" "The new Chief dismissed me." "Dismissed?" "Are you saying you were fired?" "It wouldn't have been possible without Comissioner Kimura's permission." "I think you can overrule Kimura Taro's decision." "They fire Lee Kang To  because I said I'd accepted him as a member of Kishokai?" "Are they declaring war on me?" "Do you know why I was fired?" "Because I'm a Joseon person." "Don't worry." "I was going to ask the President to accept you as a member of Kishokai anyway." "Kishokai?" "So that organization is called Kishokai?" "Will I be able to become a member of Kishokai when I've been kicked out of the Jong Ro Police Station?" "Didn't you say you wanted to become the Police Commissioner and then Governor General?" "What happened to all of your confidence and ambition?" "I always have more than enough desire." "That's it." "What the seventy year old President wants most." "What kind of person is the President?" "He's a person that believes desire surpasses ability." "I have no doubt that he'll like you very much." "When will I be able to meet him?" "Soon." "Thank you." "If you're curious about the results, come to Geum Hwa Jeong." "Around 7 pm?" "Alright." "7 pm at Geum Hwa Jeong." "Take care." "See you later." "Kenji killed Lee Kang To's mother?" "You're saying that Kenji killed his mother?" "Then Lee Kang To, that bastard, could've worn a Bridal Mask and killed your brother." "We can't come to that conclusion yet." "Lee Kang To might not know that Kenji killed his mother." "If there's any chance he knows, but is pretending not to..." "Then isn't it even more likely that that bastard is Bridal Mask?" "That's why we can't completely kick the bastard out of the police." "Father, you need to persuade Chief Murayama." "This is Commissioner Kimura Taro." "Excuse me?" "!" "Together with Chief Murayama?" "You sent for us, President?" "Right now in Beijing, the Emperor's great army and China's soldiers are fighting a fierce battle." "During this crucial moment, does it make sense for there to be conflict among members of Kishokai when they should be figuring out how to support our soldiers?" "Conflict?" "That's absurd!" "Commissioner Kimura," "I heard you dismissed Sato Hiroshi." "Right after you heard me saying that we should accept him as a member of Kishokai?" "What's your real intention?" "President, the possibility of Lee Kang To, who goes by Sato Hiroshi, being Bridal Mask is very high." "Bridal Mask?" "The Commissioner is misunderstanding." "The Commissioner's son, Shunji, told me that he's sure that" "Lee Kang To is not Bridal Mask." "Anyway, we cannot accept a suspicious Joseon bastard as a member of Kishokai." "President," "Sato Hiroshi is more loyal to the Empire than anyone else..." "Let's forget considering Sato Hiroshi as a member." "Chief Murayama," "Commissioner Kimura," "Sometime tomorrow an urgent request will arrive from the Gwandong district (middle eastern part of Korea) for His Excellency, the Governor General." "The report states 'comfort' women are urgently needed to keep the soldiers composed and manageable." "Be prepared to give His Excellency, the Governor General, an easy solution." "Yes!" "I hope this is the last time you come to visit me abruptly as you please." "I came because I have a request." "I hope you'll grant it if it's possible." "I want to make Lee Kang To a member of Kishoaki, but because your father is completely against it," "I didn't get my way." "Lee Kang To?" "Lee Kang To in Kishokai?" "You..." "Why are you so anxious to get Kang To in Kishokai?" "Didn't you want to get rid of him before because he was Konno's hands and feet?" "Konno's dead anyway and he's very loyal to the Empire." "I think it'd be a waste to throw him away." "Throw him away even if it's a waste." "Lee Kang To can't." "Why?" "Isn't Lee Kang To your friend?" "By any chance, do you..." "Just like your father, do you suspect Lee Kang To of being Bridal Mask?" "You boastfully said you were sure that he wasn't." "A new fact was revealed." "And thanks to that, the possibility of Lee Kang To being Bridal Mask has increased." "A new fact?" "What's that?" "You don't need to know." "In any case, I'm going to catch that bastard." "In any case..." "Are you saying, "In any case?"" "I want to kill Bridal Mask as much as you do." "What if I catch him first?" "It worked out well." "Use this chance to quit being a police officer." "Ever since I heard that Kimura Shunji suspected you, Young Master," "I haven't felt at ease." "Commander Dam Sa Ri asked me to endure, no matter what." "It's probably because he needs the help of an Imperial Police Officer." "Even if I die, I need to stay near those bastards." "But the Chief is being so stubborn." "Will it be easy to get reinstated?" "I don't know how much power Ra Ra has in Kishokai, but since she said she'd recommend me to the President," "I need to wait." "What do you want to do once you get in that organization?" "Once I get into their hideout," "I need to get rid of the President first." "You can't do it alone, Young Master." "Since I can't fight all of those bastards alone, isn't killing their leader first the best plan?" "Young Master!" "Don't worry." "I'll be back." "A new fact was revealed." "And thanks to that, the possibility of Lee Kang To being Bridal Mask has increased." "Katsuyama." "When you fought Bridal Mask at Geum Hwa Jeong, where did you injure that bastard with your sword?" "On his right arm and left thigh." "Right arm and thigh?" "Geum Hwa Jeong" "What are you going to do?" "Everyone still thinks you're inadequate." "Really?" "That's too bad." "Please wait a little bit." "I will do everything to persuade the President." "I'm wondering, the person who raised you as a daughter and made you a singer," "That person... isn't he the president?" "If that's not it..." "How would you have gotten into Kishokai?" "Are you curious about me or about Kishokai?" "Both." "Are you really wondering about me?" "When you didn't even remember me?" "Right now your heart is probably full with Oh Mok Dan." "When I was 9 years old..." "I suddenly lost my parents." "and on my own feet," "I went to become a gisaeng." "I can tell what a man's thinking just by looking at his eyes." "Since you wanted to be in Kishokai, I understand that you asked me." "But." "The fact that you want to know me.." "That you're curious about me." "Don't lie to me." "The fact that I made you say those words.." "I'm an evil bastard." "But..." "It's true that I was interested in your life." "How did a woman who had to show tears in front of Japanese men while dressed in mourning clothes become" "Ra Ra, a singer who sings Kimigayo (Japan's national anthem) in front of Joseon's Governor General?" "I truly wanted to know." "Even now, living as Sato Hiroshi..." "If that same incident happened again.." "I would have..." "Saved you again." "Even if you were Ra Ra." "Or a trivial gisaeng." "Shall we say cheers?" "To you..." "Sato Hiroshi." "If you were the Bridal Mask..." "You probably saw me trying to kill the woman you love." "If what happened five years ago happened again.." "You would still save me?" "That obvious lie..." "Why do I want to believe it?" "Ueno Rie, get ahold of yourself!" "You confirmed that Lee Kang To is the Bridal Mask." "You can no longer assist him with anything." "Why are you hestitating?" "Why?" "Katsuyama!" "Get Masako." "Joseon Goverment-general building" "This morning we received an urgent request from the Gwandong district. ( middle eastern part of Korea)" "The soldiers that were sent to conquer Beijing are currently stationed in Shanghai and and engaging in intense warfare." "Our soldiers in China are extremely powerful, however, the problem is how vulnerable our troops are to medical disease." "Listen." "Since the Russia-Japan War," "Our biggest threat was not the troops of our enemies, or even guerilla attacks, but sexually transmitted diseases." "Your Excellency." "With the number of enforced sex slaves we have now, we cannot spur our troop's fighting spirit." "We have to pick new clean and healthy Joseon sex slaves as soon as possible." "And send them as war supplies." "Murayama Yoshio New Chief of Jong Ro Police At the Jong Ro Police Station, our officers will actively obtain war supplies to assist in keeping our troops well-supplied." "Ah... the thing you have to keep in mind is..." "The Great Empire of Japan in the year 1925 was officially recognized as a great military and industrial power and joined the League of Nations which is against sex slavery and pedophilia." "The fact that we and the officers from the Gwandong district are directly involved in the recruitment of sex slaves must not become known." "Of course, sir." "We will use private agencies and pro-Japanese people to recruit and completely hide the fact that you, the Governor General and our troops were involved." "Even if this is revealed later on." "They won't be able to prove that the military and government were involved." "They will have no evidence, after all." "Recruit carefully so there won't be any problems later." "I understand, Your Excellency." "We will only select the ones who are poor and healthy." "Good!" "Good!" "Excellent!" "Hello!" "Who are you?" "You look very ripe!" "Oh, my!" "Oh, my!" "Oh, my!" "How do you have so many young girls?" "Oh my goodness!" "Who are you?" "It looks like you're the Leader here." "In this bad economy, can you even get ₩100 per a show?" "Who are you?" "!" "You scared me!" "Don't you read the newspaper?" "We're recruiting nurses to go to China." "Look!" "'Recruiting nurses to work in Shanghai'" "The monthly salary is ₩50?" "How can you be a nurse if you haven't been trained?" "You just need to clean the wounds, change the bandages, and feed injured soldiers." "What's there to learn separately?" "Ma'am, are you only picking females?" "I'm really good at bandaging." "Mister, really!" "We're recruiting nurses!" "'Nurses!" "'" "Kyeong Seong's Job Placement Agency is recruiting nurses to treat soldiers?" "None of my circus members are going to treat injured Japanese bastards!" "Get out." "Get out!" "Get out!" "Just write your name down here." "If you write your name down, you'll get ₩50 every month!" "I told you to leave!" "₩50!" "Just write your name!" "Get out!" "I said get out!" "If you write down your name..." "Get out!" "Look here!" "Get out!" "₩50!" "₩50!" "Don't push us!" "Just write your name!" "₩50!" "Get out!" "Get out!" "Here..." "Leave!" "Masako!" "What happened last night?" "What about Ra Ra?" "Looking for Ra Ra as soon as you wake up?" "What happened?" "!" "As soon as you fell asleep, Officer Lee, she told me to take care of you and left." "As soon as I fell asleep, she left?" "For you," "Sato Hiroshi!" "I definitely think I only had one glass..." "Lee Kang To followed you in the hotel?" "He definitely has an ulterior motive for approaching you, Miss." "I know that too." "Don't worry." "Ra Ra?" "Ra Ra!" "You're inside, aren't you, Ra Ra?" "Ra Ra, open the door." "Ra Ra!" "Ra Ra!" "Ra Ra!" "Yes." "This is Superintendent Kimura Shunji of the Jong Ro Police Station." "Superintendent Kimura, can you get rid of Lee Kang To?" "What are you talking about?" "Are you saying Lee Kang To is at the Asuka Hotel?" "Alright." "I'll get there soon." "Ra Ra!" "Ra Ra, are you not inside?" "I came because I have something to say." "Ra Ra!" "Ra Ra!" "Ra Ra!" "Hey, Lee Kang To!" "Do you know how much I've been looking for you?" "It was difficult to persuade him." "Let's go to the station first." "Go to the station?" "Are you telling me to come in and work?" "Bastard, that's what I said." "You're late, get in quickly." "This is a big problem." "Everyone's ready to leave at once to go be a nurse." "I still think it's strange." "Paying ₩50 a month to young girls who have no medical training?" "Even men who've graduated from college don't make that much easily." "No matter how long I think about it," "I think it's strange that they're sending young girls to a battlefield." "I'll look into it." "Lieutenant, are you feeling alright?" "This is Sato Hiroshi of the Jong Ro Police Station." "It's me." "Yea." "Is something wrong?" "This morning people recruiting nurses came from a job placement agency." "Our members are agreeing to go, but is it reliable?" "Really?" "Alright." "I'll look into it." "Where are you now?" "I'm at the circus." "I'm going to be staying at the Kyeong Seong Inn instead of staying with Seon Hwa." "Call either the circus or inn." "Alright." "I'll contact you soon." "Everyone gather!" "Attention!" "Salute!" "As you were!" "These are urgent instructions." "Starting today, in all 13 provinces, the recruitment of sex slaves will begin." "You will actively help private agencies recruit young girls and make sure no false rumors are spread by keeping this activity a secret." "Also!" "The fact that the Imperial Police is helping... must not be known to the people of Joseon." "In order to provide comfort for our soldiers," "I hope you all do your best in preventing discontent amongst our soldiers!" "Yes!" "Congratulations!" "Commissioner Kimura has ordered that you, Officer Koiso be promoted to Lieutenant." "What?" "Me?" "Me?" "Lieutenant?" "Thank you!" "Sato Hiroshi...no." "Lee Kang To." "The Commissioner has commanded that you be demoted." "Officer Lee Kang To." "Do you have any objections?" "No." "I dont." "That's all!" "Congratulations Lieutenant Koiso!" "I envy you." "Lieutenant?" "Come and have a seat." "You heard it, right?" "What kind of person Chief Murayama is." "I was afraid he might catch on me favoring you..." "That's why I pretended not to care yesterday." "It was really hard to persuade him." "What kind of person can ignore his superior?" "Father was against firing you." "I just managed to persuade him to only demote you." "Bear with it for a while, I will help you get your position back." "Thank you." "Right." "You still haven't moved into my rented room." "Do you know how bad I felt not being able to contact you?" "This is an order." "Move into the rented room by tonight." "Alright." "Yes, this is Kimura Shunji of Jeong Ro Station." "Esther?" "Sato Hiroshi, wait." "Yes?" "Right now?" "Alright, I'll be there right away." "Oh Mok Dan wantsto see me..." "You drive." "Making me an officer..." "And always keeping me by your side?" "What do they have in mind?" "Are they beginning to suspect me?" "Lee Kang To," "If you are really Bridal Mask, juat wait and see..." "I will make you take you that mask." "Are there many that recruited from Kyeong Seong?" "These are all those that are recruited." "There are 2,000 going just from Kyeong Seong. 2,000." "Here..." "Your age." "You've been working hard." "Hello, you've been working hard." "Are we really... going to get paid ₩50 every month?" "Right?" "Of course." "If it goes well it could even be more." "₩50!" "₩50!" "How nice it would be, you would be earning money while learning." "Kakawa, what are you doing?" "They're telling us to withdraw so they can perform." "We need to perform for us to also make a living." "Who would come to a circus being guarded by police officers?" "You..." "How long are you going to put guards on us?" "What crime did we do?" "Do you know how many people get comforted by the circus?" "To the people who've lost their smiles, must you take away the circus too?" "Kakawa, go back." "Superintendent!" "Hurry!" "Yes." "Withdraw!" "From now on, we won't guard you anymore." "You may go about making a living at ease." "Oh Mok Dan, can we talk for a while?" "Stop them so they can't go." "They're not being recruited as nurses.." "but as sex slaves." "I understand." "I... will trust in you." "From now on I won't put guards on you." "But instead, you should also give your heart to me." "Let me go." "Don't be like this." "You..." "Do you have anything you're hiding from me?" "If ever there is something that you are hiding from me..." "I will definitely find it out." "If ever there is something that you are hiding from me..." "I will definitely find it out." "And I'll destroy it no matter what." "Officer Sato." "Follow me." "Kang To, I..." "Kang To, I..." "I will definitely catch Bridal Mask who killed my brother." "But then you..." "Why aren't you catching the ones who killed your mother and brother?" "If it was me I would have definitely worked on that first." "Oh right!" "You told me..." "The bastards who killed your family and tried to kill you..." "Leaving those bastards alone, you can't die." "But then you don't catch those bastards who killed your mother and brother?" "You know something, right?" "You know who killed my mother and my brother, right?" "Say it!" "Say it, I tell you!" "If I knew I would tell you right away..." "Do you think I'll be like this?" "I'm sorry for touching a painful wound." "Let's go." "Kimura Shunji," "Do you already know that your brother was the one who killed my mother?" "Fine, let's try it." "That Sato Hiroshi..." "So he recognizes Kinpei." "Five years ago at Myeong Wol Gwan, that bastard..." "He was the person who saved your life." "In the end because of that fate..." "I did not introduce him for that, Father." "You need to be in charge of the sex slaves being sent from Kyeong Seong." "I understand." "I'll have them transported without any problems." "In my opinion, this is a great opportunity for you to get your school accredited." "Isn't that so, Count?" "If the Joseon Women's school takes the initiative and sends female students to be nurses" "I think the school will be able to get accredited easily." "Then how many should we send?" "Seriously Principal..." "The more the better." "I unserstand, Countess." "If I tell those female students who are almost graduating that there's a chance to study..." "There will probably be more than enough volunteers." "Omo!" "That's a great idea!" "Honey..." "Honey..." "Since you're so loyal, our troops will definitely be victorious!" "Count," "On that note, shall we cheer to that?" "To the victory of our troops!" "Cheers!" "Cheers!" "Grandma, I'm going to work to be a nurse." "A nurse?" "What does that do?" "During the day I'll be treating injured soldiers and at night I'll be studying." "Since I'll be studying in a foreign country, I'll be an international student!" "I am earning money, must you really go?" "Don't worry, Grandmother." "Our principal said he was only sending those students who are good at studying." "I will work hard and study hard so that I would become a doctor." "So that I could get you and live for a very long time." "Aigoo..." "My child..." "Commissioner, you're here." "She's my granddaughter." "Give your greetings." "Commissioner..." "That..." "My granddaughter's school... picked her to study to be a nurse, would it be alright to send her?" "Don't worry and send her." "Thank you." "Thank you, Commissioner." "Aigoo." "Bo Young and Soo Ah, are you ready?" "First, you need to leave Kyeong Seong." "Leader, we will go." "I'm sorry." "Take care." "Where are you trying to go?" "Hwang Bo Young and Yoon Soo Ah, you promised you would be a nurse!" "A promise made while being deceived is invalid." "Isn't acting like this when they've clearly said they won't go..." "Isn't that kidnapping?" "This wench..." "What are you doing?" "Hurry and drag them out." "Yes!" "Bo Young..." "No..." "Drag her out too!" "Yes!" "Come here!" "Stay still!" "Come here!" "Go you wench!" "If not for the Superintendent you would have been dead!" "Go safely." "Don't worry, Grandma." "Be healthy." "I will write to you." "Soon Yi!" "No, Grandma." "Just accept it." "Buy something delicious for yourself." "I'll be going." "Drive!" "Mi Soon, go safely and come back!" "Be safe and come back!" "They're coming, they're here." "They're coming." "They have arrived!" "Verify it." "Yes." "Pretty kids, hi!" "Your faces look real pretty!" "Let me check if there's anyone missing." "Oh Ma Soon." "Here." "Yeah." "Jin Mi Soon!" "Here." "You're cute!" "Bridal Mask!" "Really..." "Bridal Mask, really...!" "Hey!" "Move!" "Bridal Mask!" "We are not going to be nurses but comfort women, we need to escape now." "Let go you bastard." "You want to die?" "Please..." "I saved you." "Don't make me regret it."
