Inspiring Generation
Episode 21
Jung Tae!
Jung Tae...
Ok Ryeon.
What is going on?
Let's get out of here first.
Argh!
Representative Gaya!
Assistant Leader, I will take Shinichi.
Far from it!
Since he came to assassinate the Hwangbang Leader,
we'll take care of him.
Even though he was banished, he was still my swordsman.
I'll do my utmost to repay your graciousness, so please yield.
Princess, what are you doing?
Shut the hell up!
You are my swordsman. From now on, I'm protecting you.
Representative Gaya!
By taking Shinichi with you,
do you know what that means?
As the one who tried to kill me,
the one who tried to kill me. I'm asking you what that meant!
I know what that means...
fully.
Then this is...
Ill Gook Hwae...
directly attacking Hwangbang. Should we understand it that way?
Wasn't it a war that was going to happen?
Representative Gaya,
the fact that you came alone
to Hwangbang means
that Denkai didn't approve of your direct assault.
However, if I send you two back alive,
what will become of Hwangbang's reputation?
Wang Baek San!
Sever their heads and hang their heads from the rafters.
To make sure that Ill Gook Hwae's goons don't attack us,
make their heads serve as a warning.
I'll receive your order.
Move aside.
I will kill them.
Don't go.
If you go, you will die, Jung Tae.
Since it's dangerous, stay inside.
I'll be back.
Princess...
Who the hell are you?!
Take Shinichi and leave quickly.
Shin Jung Tae...
If you take too much time, we'll all die. Hurry.
Move aside!
I will fight him.
You go after Ill Gook Hwae's people.
Yes!
Who are you?
I 'll kill you.
I will have to face him someday.
Until Gaya is able to escape,
I'll fight to find out how strong his inner strength strikes are.
Aoki,
what did you just say?
Did you say that the fight was going to happen anyway?
Yes, I did.
Such a narrow minded punk and you call yourself the Director of Intelligence?
Haven't you found out about the powerful position Seul Doo Sung holds at Hwangbang?
I know that fully well.
I don't think you do, you punk!
Don't you know the difference between Hwangbang when Seul Doo Sung is alive and a destroyed Hwangbang?
A fight with Hwangbang while Seul Doo Sung is alive,
means that
we'll be fighting both Shanghai and all of China.
Being so far away from our home base,
we can never beat them.
Though Ill Gook Hwae's headquarters may be far away,
we have our soldiers right here.
Does that mean that you'll use them to save Gaya?
Of course.
Aoki, what did I tell you?
Even if you are cherishing Gaya in your heart,
I told you to not let me catch you.
Then...
will you kill me, too?
In Ill Gook Hwae, there are many "Aokis" other than you.
Don't you forget that.
You can leave.
Aka!
I'm going to Seolrak. Prepare the way.
It's good that I took the hit without being so uptight.
If I had taken the hit when I was uptight, my ribs might of been shattered.
I see no way to escape.
If I don't make a way,
my identity will be revealed. If that happens,
Ok Ryeon will be in danger.
There is one solution.
Direct attack to open the way.
Like a dog that has to sh*t, why are you looking around?
I'll finish you up now.
I'll be able to see who you are now.
Who did this?!
Turn on the light! I said turn on the light!
Oh, I'm so surprised!
Hold on a bit more, Shinichi; we are almost at the public square.
Princess, please abandon me.
If were to, I wouldn't have come in the first place. Hold on a bit longer.
We'll end up dying together!
Shinichi!
I will not go alone, no matter what!
Get up. Hurry!
Just go.
Just a little bit more.
Please go.
I said please go.
Just hold on a bit. Just a little more.
The letter...
did you read it?
Yes, I did.
I did read it.
I read the whole letter.
Even when you read the whole letter,
you came to save me?
The one who killed your mother,
this bodyguard?
But there is none like you.
To tell me about mother,
there is none like you, Shinichi.
If Ryoko saw what happened,
she would have acknowledged it.
That I...
I will go before you
to tell Ryoko
that Gaya,
like Ryoko,
grew up beautiful.
I'll tell her that.
Shinichi.
Please...
become Ill Gook Hwae's...
star.
I'm sorry.
Open your eyes, Shinichi.
Didn't you say that you'll die only by my sword?
Open your eyes! Please open your eyes!
Please, open your eyes, Shinichi!!
Gaya!
Aoki.
Did you come because the Leader sent you?
DId you come to kill me because the told you to?!
I...
came to save you.
I will take care of the dead one. Let's get out of here.
What about the Leader?
What did the Leader say?
He went to Seul Rak.
Were you able to tell who it was?
He was wearing a mask but I'm sure that it was Shin Jung Tae.
It's not that he might of been but he was the one, Leader Banjoo.
At this time of the night, what is up with you?
Do you know what these are?
Isn't that the map of Seul Rak?
Yes, that is right.
By order from Jung Tae, Ok Ryeon
was drawing this.
It's you?
Is what Do Ggoo saying is true?
I did draw the map but I didn't draw the map because Jung Tae told me to.
Because he guards be so tightly, I went to get some fresh air
That is why I drew it.
Hey, you shut your trap.
Don't you think that I know you are spying?
I'm firing you as my manager. Understood?
Leader Bangjoo.
Am I a hostage here? Am I not a singer here?
Then, why are you treating me like a person who is a hostage?
You are much like Shin Jung Tae; what a sly wench you are.
What?
If what he saying is true, Shin Jung Tae
has protected Hwangbang's enemy. If that weren't enough, he used his girl to
spy on us. What a devious guy!
Leader Bangjoo.
Assistant Leader.
Hurry and find out who that intruder was. If he was Shin Jung Tae,
kill the girl and him.
Yes, Leader Bangjoo.
Incarcerate the wench and Do Ggoo, you follow me.
Yes, Assistant Leader.
Leader Bangjoo.
Ill Gook Hwae Leader requests a meeting with you.
What? Ill Gook Hwae's Leader?
I heard there was a little problem in Hwangbang.
A Jap was trying to imitate an old Chinese assassination attempt.
I was going to take him and his master who was a woman and
I was going to punish them.
The act of immature ones who doesn't know how the world revolves.
How about graciously forgiving them, as a token celebrating our meeting?
Long-time enemies become friends.
Anyways, the great Denkai,
Seeing how you came came in such hurry in the middle of the night,
I guess you are not yet ready to fight.
Though I have reserved enough swords,
I want to apologize for the mishap and
I wanted to find out how you were doing, that's all.
Because you were so curious about my well being,
you had that rat, Aoki, to find out how I was doing?
Seeing how the great Seul Bang Joo is concerned,
your selling opium
to support General Chiang Kai Sheik must be true.
If that is revealed,
you can be
dismissed from Chirinbang. I know that already.
Before that happens, I have to catch the rat you sent.
After that, I'm thinking of rooting out Ill Gook Hawe.
Then, that means
if the rat who has been roaming around in your warehouse disappears,
I can understand it as you wanting to gloss over the recent incident?
I heard a rumor that the rat is your adopted son.
You are willing to kill him?
Rather than spilling unnecessary blood, wouldn't that be better?
I'm remembering what happened 20 years ago.
Even then,
you had Ryoko killed
just so that you didn't have to fight.
However, didn't your own son
die in that situation?
Denkai,
Did you come to prevent to a war or
to find a reason for a war?
That depend on your answer, didn't I say that?
Send his head to me. Then,
I'll consider the attack
as if it did not happened.
Thank you. I'll be going then.
You seem to have much on your mind.
Yes.
If you are worried about Ok Ryeon,
Jung Jae Hwa left many documents to threaten Hwangbang.
You can exchange one of those documents for Ok Ryeon...
No.
Those documents will only be used for Bamsamtong people.
I will rescue Ok Ryeon.
Then, do you have any other plans?
Ill Gook Hwae territory is here.
Hwangbang's territory is here in the French occupied area.
And this is Bamsamtong.
Bamsamtong is sandwiched between the two,
just like Joseon is sandwiched between China and Japan.
That's right.
Leader Mo,
my country, Joseon, has
never invaded another country in its history.
And that's why Joseon was overtaken so easily.
But not this time.
We have to attack first to survive.
Who do you want to attack first?
Ill Gook Hwae or Hwangbang?
We have to simultaneously attack both of them.
Leader Mo,
can you help me in my attack plans?
A reason is needed for a fight.
I will make the streets safe for Dandong people,
whether that location will be in Bamsamtong or
anywhere else.
If that's the condition for helping you, I have no reason to deny your request.
What are you two guys doing so early in the morning? You guys dating?
So So, you have much to do as well.
Get to work with Dr. Sun.
What's the reason?
Hey, Shin Jung Tae?
Is this the message that Denkai sent to Osaka, Japan?
Yes, sir.
In Ill Gook Hwae, there are many "Aokis".
Don't you forget that.
So, he wants to kill me and get another "Aoki".
Kuroda, has this message been sent already?
Yes, that's right.
Go out.
From Osaka headquarter to Shanghai...
Everything in there must be taken care of. Everything.
Hyungnim! Jung Tae hyungnim.
Mang Chi, what's the matter?
Hyungnim, the Soon Po from the French side came into the club
and are arresting all of us.
What?
Hyungnim. Hyungnim.
Hold on a minute. You have to first listen to us!
What are you doing? Hyungnim.
Club Shanghai is a protected public place. Don't you know that no Soon Po can come here unless we call them?
That is why we requested the change.
Club Shanghai's owner,
don't you know that it's Chiringbang?
The elders themselves requested the change.
They wanted to find the one who helped the wench from Ill Gook Hwae at Hwangbang last night.
They wanted us to find him.
So what is that you want to search for?
Can't you tell by the guys who have their tops off?
We are looking for the guy who got hit by the Assistant Leader's penetrating inner strenght swing.
Thinking about that,
you are the main suspect. You take your top off.
What are you looking at, son of a bit*h? I told you to take it off.
If
I don't have the bruise, what are you going to do?
Hey, stop the fu**ing bull and take it off!
Stop this wasteful thing
and tell me what you want.
Finding the one who invaded Hwangbang
and helped Ill Gook Hwae representative seem wasteful to you?
Why don't you just take a knife to my throat and say
that "if you don't do what Hwangbang wants you to do, we'll kill you."
Just threaten me instead,
rather than bothering the innocent guys.
Okay. I'll threaten you as you wish.
This is the map of Seul Rak that Ok Ryeon drew.
Leader Banjoo is thinking of
hanging Kim Ok Ryeon's head
on the rafters.
What did you say?
He says he will give you 2 days.
In exactly 2 days if you don't bring the materials that will ruin Ill Gook Hwae,
you will
see your woman's head hanging from the rafters.
If that happens,
your head will
not be safe as well.
For a guy who can't even avoid my hits,
you are arrogant.
Are you assured now?
In two days,
I will bring a plan that you want.
Let my men go.
What if I don't?
Then with Jung Jae Hwa's
documents that spells out what Hwangbang did,
I will have to take it to the government.
So that all people of Shanghai can see.
What should I do now?
Let them go.
Be careful.
You have exactly two days.
Wait a second.
Go tell father.
His son, Shin Jung Tae,
will pay him back as much as I received.
I surely will.
Bak Chi Gi.
Yes, hyungnim?
Confirm that the guys will return.
Yes, hyungnim.
Leader Mo, I think he did
get hit by the Cheul Sa Jang(Penetrating hit).
That's true.
What took me about 10 years to
learn at Shaolin Temple, he has learned
"Hwa Kyung" naturally. (Being able to neutralize opponent's attack).
Park Chi, Mang Chi.
Look into what Ill Gook Hawe has invested into the club.
And look into the clans that they have.
Verify how many men they have.
Yes, understood.
Kwang Pae,
You said you know the Intelligence building like the back of your hand, right?
Yes. I can do it even with my eyes closed.
Then, scale the wall once again.
What is the matter?
Go to the Intelligence office and
grab the documents Aoki collected about Hwangbang
and documents about Club Shanghai.
Don't leave anything behind and bring all of it.
Yes, hyungnim! --What is this "yes, hyungnim"?
He'll probably bring useless documents.
Take two men with you and
if you need more take four with you.
Yes.
Doctor,
Dr. Sun, you look into Chirinbang
and Ill Gook Hawe's dealings or contracts.
Please look into it.
I will.
Elder, --Ah, Say it.
No since you are the leader, I should show respect.
Go ahead and tell me. No that's not it.
Go ahead and please tell me. Dang it!
Please tell me Shin Jung Tae Hyung.
I won't help you if you don't give me the most critical role.
The Ill Gook Hwae's associate's number
will be possible for Bak Chi Gi and Mang Chi to figure out but
it will be hard to figure out the number of men
who will be secretly waiting to fight for Ill Gook Hwae.
You want me to figure out their numbers? That's my expertise.
All of you
be very careful
If something goes wrong, all of you can get hurt.
Our lives were never worth that much.
If Ill Gook Hwae or Hwang jerks ever took their knives to us,
we were going to die anyway: Like a life of a fly.
Not this time.
If wait a bit, all of you
and all people of Bamsamtong...
Really, Ill Gook Hwae and Hwangbang,
are you thinking about attacking them simultaneously?
Yes.
By just attacking Ill Gook Hwae,
By attacking Ill Gook Hwae,
We have to crush Hwangbang at the same time.
What are you thinking?
"Yang Ho Kyung Sheik Chi Gae".
It's a Chinese saying.
Let the two tigers fight to wear themselves out.
Yes.
By using Hwangbang's soldiers,
I will attack Ill Gook Hwae.
Then as their fight ensues,
it will be our advantage.
How are you going to make them fight each other?
"Sung Don Gyuk Sa"
"Make the confusion on East side and attack the West side."
With what method?
I am going to use the telephone.
Okay, what is all this?
It's the item that Shin Jung Tae wanted me give to you.
As compared to what Jung Jae Hwa gave you,
he said he doubled the amount.
Twice?
Thank you.
Before that, I have a favor to ask you.
What is it?
The phone company...
we want to occupy it for one day.
You want to occupy the phone company?
All the information we gathered in Shanghai.
How can we lose all of them in just one night?
Who in the world took all the documents?
I was suddenly attacked so,
I couldn't see the face. I'm sorry.
What's the use of being sorry now?
They were the only thing that I could have used against Hwangbang and Club Shanghai.
There can only two suspects.
Hwagbang and Club Shanghai's Shin Jung Tae,
From today, 24/7 surveillance.
Use any means to find the trace of them.
Yes, sir.
I didn't know Hwangbang's old man
was going to instigate first.
Beside the Ill Gook Hwae headquarter, it has 4 divided clans.
In each clan, it has about 20 men.
Standard Bank here in Shanghai,
is located here: East side, west side, the north side and at the center here.
The one at the center is the headquarter.
So the men here is always ready with weapons.
The time that it takes from the headquarter to the branch locations and
to their casino... find out.
Yes, hyungnim.
You want to attack the Ill gook Hwae's headquarter and the clans?
All at once?
Yes, that's right.
Then, at least,
you'll need few hundred men.
With your men,
is it possible?
No.
Even if gather all men, it is only around 30.
With only us, it's impossible.
That's why I'm asking your soldiers, father.
My soldiers?
I'm against this, Leader Banjoo.
The onew who will be hurt by this fight is
either Hwangbang and Ill Gook Hwae.
This bastard is letting us do the fighting
and wants to gain the benefit.
Isn't it?
What is this?
From the Intelligence office last night,
it's the documents that we stole.
What?
The French side
amassed all the information about your opium trade.
There are tons of documents about that.
If these information are exposed,
What do you think will happen?
Are you trying to threaten me with this?
If I were to threaten you,
would I have brought it here?
Whether you keep them or burn them,
Do as you wish.
As a I assume and if Ill Gook Hwae is attacked,
Aoki only has these documents to defend himself/Ill Gook Hwae.
Then, Aoki will attack either Club Shanghai or Hwangbang.
But if Ill Gook Hwae is attacked,
he will have no choice but to use the government soldiers.
That's right.
Then, you attack Ill goo Hwae and
get rid of Aoki.
What will you do?
Will you lend me the soilders?
Fine.
I'll give you 300 men.
Rest of what you need, you get them.
Leader!
Assistant Leader.
This is a fight that I decided to have.
When are you going to
start the operation?
Tomorrow at 2 p.m. in Standard Bank,
when money is heavily being collected.
Got it.
Before that time, I'll ready the men.
Then I will trust you and begin.
Leader.
The thing that I fear most is
the information
that Aoki gathered.
Shin Jung Tae,
After we get rid of Aoki,
even if we kill him then it won't be too late.
Memorial Tablet: Shinichi
What is this?
A letter the Leader he sent to Osaka.
Then?
Since you and I have become useless to him,
he wants to replace with the new ones, I guess.
What did you say?
What did I tell you from the beginning?
We are is just things that were made to be used and thrown away.
The Leader will soon call for us.
In front of everybody, he'll probably say that we have broken the rules.
What are you going to do?
Will you join me or die by the Leader's hands?
Gaya...
You make your move first; I have to go some place first.
I understand.
We are now on the same boat.
When this is over, I will open up a good world to you.
See? Poke. Poke. Poke.
Hurry up and poke the holes to find out what it feels like.
Po..ke. Po...ke.
No! Poke. Poke And Poke! --Damn.
Poke. Poke. And Poke.
Why are you making me do this?
I told you it was part of the operation.
So, what kind of operation is it that I have to poke and poke?
That I don't know! Why do we have to poke and pull them out anyway?!
Ah really.
Hyungnim, you have a guest.
A guest?
Gaya...
Shin Jung Tae...
Ally with Ill Gook Hwae.
What did you say?
If you want, I can save Bamsamtong people too.
If you need more, I can get the Japanese military soldiers too...
Gaya,
Bamsamtong people,
have ran away from the Japanese and came all the way here to Bamsamtong.
To that kind of people,
do you think they can understand your deal?
This is not about emotional issue.
It is about Bamsamtong people's lives.
If there lives were precious,
they would have accepted your terms already.
Are you saying that we can only be enemies?
May be...
That might be our fate but
I don't want that happening.
Shin Jung Tae...
We...
let's not be born this way in our next life.
Let's be born in the same country so that we can face each other(as the same stock).
If not,
then as two people who have nothing to do with each other.
Let us be born that way in our next life.
I'm sorry, Gaya.
For everything...
I'm really sorry.
Now this,
is the end for you and me.
Thank you, Shin Jung Tae.
Now I think I can
wield my sword against you.
Gaya...
Live well.
♫ Say I love you, I love you ♫
♫ Say I hate you, I hate you ♫
♪ I'm by your side,
♪ After today passes, tomorrow will come.
♪ If you would know me,
I have something to tell you.
Aoki,
Do you know why samurais carry many swords?
Although it is in order to strike many enemies,
it's also because swords break easily.
They have to be thrown away often,
and that is the bigger reason.
Japan's steel,
compared to the steel of Joseon,
the quality is markedly less.
so in order to choose the best steel to make a good sword,
each one has to be broken with a hammer.
Even the sword chosen made out of the best steel,
are you saying it can be thrown away at any time?
If it's a sword that's already broken.
A sword
is made to be wielded.
Not to be served.
Are you saying you're going to abandon Gaya and me?
If it has become useless, it should be thrown away.
A broken sword
can be melted in the steel furnace,
and if there is a person who gives a new life,
don't you know that it is reborn?
Does that mean that Gaya will make you reborn?
That's right.
The sword that makes Gaya reborn,
I will show you how sharp it is.
What?
What are you planning to do?
No. I am going to put my dream into action.
Not as a thing that you just can throw away at your will but
as a swordsman who dreams of
a new Ill Gook Hwae.
Aka!
This one is trying to overtake the leader.
Kill him.
Aka! What are you doing?
Kill him as I said.
Aka?
Aoki?
Aoki.
You...
For the ones who died before me,
this is for the many Aokis.
This one is for the one who couldn't fight back in the past;
for the many Gayas.
You...
Aoki, you...
You, in the end...
Gaya?
Gaya, you...
These people,
You all!
How could you all?
Even so,
I thought you would of said something worthwhile.
"I'm sorry I made you live without a mother."
That one thing...
I thought he would say it before he left.
But,
he leaves without being able to let go of his greed.
Grandfather.
Aka-san,
Thank you.
Don't misunderstand.
I didn't do this for you.
From now on,
I serve Gaya.
What?
Denkai was killed?
Yes.
This notice was received.
Denkai, that old man,
trying to kill Aoki,
it seems like he suffered instead.
I think the Ill Gook Hawe people have something planned.
Of course.
Then will it not be wise to attend the funeral?
If the leader of Hwangbang
hides and doesn't go
what will the Shanghai people say about us?
Leader,
This funeral
I will take Shin Jung Tae.
Don't worry.
Then, you are planning to use him as a shield?
Of course.
If by chance,
something happens,
Hwangbang,
won't you need to protect it Assistant Leader?
From now on, Ill Gook Hwae's external leader,
it's you, Gaya.
But this fight, I will be in charge,
so you stay behind.
I'm still the Shanghai leader.
Are you saying you could kill Shin Jung Tae?
Can you not believe me?
No, I believe you.
You're a strong person, so you could kill Shin Jung Tae.
But if you do that,
he will remain in your heart for a longer time.
Having another person inside of your heart,
I will not see it any longer, so stay back.
Yamamoto, you look after the headquarter.
Aka, go and meet Shin Jung Tae and Seul Bang Joo.
Yes.
A war will start soon.
With relentless attack,
we will plant Ill Gook Hwae's flag here!
Order taken!
In an hour, a war will start.
It's possible that us, as Joseon people, for the first time,
we might be declaring a war.
But as of now, with only our strength,
we cannot destroy Hwangbang and Ill Gook Hwae at once.
So we wear the clothes of Hwangbang
and attack Ill Gook Hwae first.
Then after gathering our strength,
we will attack Hwangbang.
The existence of a thorn between Hwangbang and Ill Gook Hwae,
It will be us.
Now,
let's show them the strength of that thorn properly.
Let's have victory!
Let's win!
The wild pig has come so we must move now.
I will take of things here so you get the things that will ruin Seul Bangjoo.
Aoki, what about Aoki?
Stop hiding behind a telephone and come out.
Come out and fight.
Seul Bangjoo has to die for the fight to end.
Don't you come here. Aoki.
Are you going to watch Ill Gook Hwae crumble?
With this chance, I will have the engagement with Ok Ryeon.
Except for the people who serve me,
Prepare medicine.
