GYEONGSEONG CREATURE

We have conducted
extensive research and experimentation

on the limitations of the human body.

We discovered the existence of the Najin
during one of those experiments.

So, it was all a coincidence?

It's like the Penicillium
that appeared in a petri dish.

Much like how that chance discovery
of mold changed the course

of the history of human diseases…

the discovery of the Najin will lead
humanity to the next level of evolution.

Are you referring to the healing ability?

Perhaps.

But we believe
it holds potential for more.

I see.

Thank you for the explanation.

Director Ichiro
will be returning to Japan soon.

You can take his place
in charge of Ongseong Hospital

and complete your ongoing experiments.

I will support you
by whatever means necessary.

I cannot guarantee how long it will take
or how much money will be needed.

Nothing is certain as of now.

That doesn't matter.

Seishin is what I want, after all.

Your job is to make her
obey me completely.

That's all you need to do.

Mr. Ishikawa.

So, it was you all along?

Have you been
wandering around in that state

killing people for the past three days?

Mr. Ishikawa.

What in the world happened to you, Akiko?

Help me, Mr. Ishikawa.

Go back to Ongseong Hospital.

You have murdered more than ten people.

You will be executed anyway, Akiko.

What about the baby?

Our baby...

Look at yourself!

How can you still expect me
to acknowledge that baby as my own?

Don't make things
any more difficult for me, Akiko.

Get in there yourself.

This is the last act of kindness
I can offer you.

Stop stalling and get in.

Now!

What are you doing?

Commissioner!

Commissioner Ishikawa!

Get him to the car!

Commissioner! Stay with me!

GYEONGSEONG CREATURE
BETWEEN PREDATOR AND PREY

EPISODE 9
ATROCITY

Father.

I'm coming in.

Chae-ok.

I'm heading over to where your mother is.

Hey! Who goes there?

Stop!

Stop or we'll shoot!

I am here to find my wife.

Go and tell the person named Kato

that the Seishin you are experimenting on
in the underground laboratory

is my wife.

I am going to fulfill
my last duty as her husband.

So, Chae-ok,

go on with your life.

Please

cherish your life dearly.

Colonel Kato, we brought the man.

You're Seishin's husband?

I am.

Let me meet my wife.

It's been ten years, correct?

How does it feel

to see your wife again

for the first time in ten years?

You evil bastards.

How…

How could you…

You sons of bitches!

Fucking bastards!

Let go of me! Let go!

Sons of bitches!

You bastards,
how could you do something like this?

How could you?!

We managed to calm it with food,

but what should we do now?
It's becoming violent again, sir.

I guess

there really is no other way
than to find its child.

What do we do?

We can't turn a blind eye.

Yet even if we were to help her,
there's not much we can do.

We'll have to think of a way.

You can't go back to Ongseong Hospital.

Don't even think about it, okay?

Look here!

Why in the world
would you do such evil things?

A hospital is where you treat people,
not do such damned things!

Well,

I'm not really aware
of what goes on in there.

Now you know!
So try coming up with a plan!

As a so-called officer
of the police bureau,

you just discovered an illegal act!
Are you just going to sit there?

I just follow orders,
so even if I were to do something,

I wouldn't have any powers.

So you're powerless!

Does that give you an excuse
to go along with every wrong thing?

Excuse me...

You people might run things around here,

but there are things you should
and shouldn't do as human beings!

If you don't know where to draw the line,
can you call yourself human?

How are you any different from an animal?

You're right.

Let's keep the shop closed
until this situation is resolved.

It would also be safer
if we moved Mr. Gu somewhere else.

What is your plan?

When a problem arises,
you must nip it in the bud.

Master!

I saw exactly what's going on
in Ongseong Hospital.

What's happening in there is something
that shouldn't happen to any human being.

But I bet they will deny it
in front of the world

and say that they did no such thing,
that such things never even existed.

Myeong-ja killed so many people, but look,

not one paper covered the murders.

This is how they operate.

They cover things up
as if they never happened at all.

But sir...

As you said,
there are clear rights and wrongs.

If we turn a blind eye
because it doesn't seem to concern us now,

then the same thing
will eventually happen to all of us.

Tell us.

What can we do to help?

I'm afraid there isn't much
that we can do.

The wounds on his face
and carotid arteries are too wide and deep

for us to stop the bleeding.

- We will do our best.
- Stop the bleeding!

- But if the bleeding continues…
- More gauze! Now!

I'm terribly sorry to say this,

but he may not survive the night,
Lady Maeda.

Oh, well, that is unfortunate.

Pardon?

Anyways,

take good care of my husband, please.

Good night.

Found it.

Lady Maeda, a message from Mr. Shiro.

What were you doing?

You know,

just watching.

The world seems so peaceful
from up here, doesn't it?

There's no pain,

no death…

and no unjustness.

It's all so quiet.

It's hard to see through the darkness now,

but I'm sure that everyone

is holding their breath,
waiting for the night to pass.

What about Myeong-ja?

What happened to her?

It seems she was taken back
to Ongseong Hospital.

And Ishikawa seems to have been
seriously injured in the ordeal.

So Father and Myeong-ja
are both back in that hospital.

Could it be that…

we'll never be able to stop
what they are doing?

Will you come with me?

I have something to show you.

What is all this?

This is my collection.

Some things were pawned
and never reclaimed,

and others I bought from time to time.

That's the nature of a pawnshop.

Every item that comes in
has its own story.

Yes.

That gramophone belonged to Wang Su-bok,
the courtesan from Pyeongyang.

And…

that coat hanging over there,

Mr. Yun Dong-ju pawned it so he could buy
his fellow students some food,

but he didn't make it back to reclaim it.

And this is Na Hye-seok's work.

She is a genius who had her work
shown at the Joseon Art Exhibition.

I suppose living as an artist
is not all smooth sailing.

Mrs. Nawol chided me for paying too much
for a painting of little value,

but I like her drawings.

I have a few more of her pieces, actually.

Could you

give me your hand?

I bought this silver bracelet
from an American missionary.

Embedded in the middle
is a thing called an opal.

I heard it is considered
a lucky stone in Europe.

There.

You will only experience good luck
from now on.

I have many more interesting items.

We can look through them later,
whenever we have time.

Let's

make a promise to each other.

If either of us ends up dying
before the other…

whoever remains has to remember…

the other person.

What do you think?

I don't feel that sad about dying…

but if no one in this world remembers
even a trace of my existence…

that would make me feel…

a little lonesome.

I'm sorry, but it won't come to that.

Because the two of us

will be together,
even through the good times.

Do you really think…

those good times will come to us?

They will.

I will make sure…

that they come to us.

So...

Stay with me.

Stay…

right by my side.

Be safe.

Take care of yourself.

Keep watch over the shop.

Don't forget to lock the doors.

I will. Goodbye.

Tae-sang!

You're safe.

Thank goodness.

What a relief.

My sincere condolences.

I'm afraid I have no choice, Mr. Ishikawa.

I must do this to keep my position here.

Please direct your resentment
toward Lady Maeda.

This is all according to her will.

No…

No…

Help me…

I would like my husband's death
to be more honorable.

A commissioner of the Government-General

murdered by a Joseon-born courtesan.

Imagine how shameful that would be
for the police bureau as well.

Yes, ma'am.

COMMISSIONER ISHIKAWA DIES
WHILE ARRESTING JOSEON-BORN SERIAL KILLER

Ishikawa died early this morning.

A Joseon person
becomes the offender once again.

It's always the same pattern, isn't it?

They hide, fabricate, and distort
the facts to cover up their wrongdoings.

And if that doesn't work, they will turn
their swords to the Joseon people again.

Think about the Kantō earthquake.

What would they have done without us?

They blame us whenever something happens.

They will choose
one of two methods, as always.

Either take it out
on the innocent citizens…

Or take it out on us.

Why us? What crime have we committed?

The crime of knowing too much, I suppose.

About the underground lab in the hospital,
what occurred there, and even Myeong-ja.

So, what's your plan?

Tell me.

I know you called me here at this hour
because you have a plan in mind.

I now have someone I'd like to protect.

That's why…

I'm thinking of putting my neck
on the line as well.

Do you know what I really fear?

Having a dream

in this hopeless world.

Director Ichiro, have a safe trip back.

Comrade Kwon.

I fear that my resolve will grow weak
because of that vain hope,

that I might hesitate and falter
to do what must be done.

That is what I fear.

And so I bid you goodbye.

Thank you.

Thank you, Master Jang.

I'll always remember you.

Wait, hold on!

So long.

Stop!

You know what?

What I fear the most

is losing those I do not wish to lose.

Director Ichiro has been shot!

Get her!

What did you just say?

With the dynamite you have,

how many bombs can you make?

Why do you ask?

Do you wish to join the rebellion?

Unfortunately, the Bumingwan event
won't be happening.

What?

It appears Ishikawa's funeral ceremony
will be hosted by the Government-General.

The Bumingwan event
has been delayed indefinitely.

Is this confirmed?

We've heard nothing of this
from our sources yet.

This intel came from within,
so I'm sure of it.

I will vouch for its accuracy
and trustworthiness.

In any case,
why did you ask about the bombs?

The rebellion is all but lost now.

I was hoping to use those bombs first.

So you're not here to give us a hand,
but to take the bombs for yourself.

Forget it. I've heard quite enough.

Please leave.

How do you plan on using the bombs?

- Comrade Lee.
- Ongseong Hospital.

My plan…

is to wipe it off the map.

Colonel Kato!

Sir!

We have a problem, Master Jang.

It's about that sleuth, Yoon Chae-ok.

She's caused some trouble.

What happened? Where is the specimen?

We can't see it.

We've been watching for almost an hour,
but there has been no movement.

And the elevator?

It's been shut down.

It's the only way
to get to the upper floors,

which means the specimen
should still be down there.

What do you mean by that?

Chae-ok has disappeared? Where to?

We don't know either.

After that woman shot Director Ichiro,

the officers nearby
chased after her immediately,

but then she vanished.

Officers from Jongno Station
and the police bureau

are searching for her
from Bonjeong to Jongno,

but she's nowhere to be found.

They have just ordered
a search of your shop as well.

- Find her!
- Yes, sir!

Hurry! Search the place!

Yes, sir!

What are you doing?

The situation is

turning from bad to worse.

This could be the last time I can give you

information like this, Mr. Jang.

Thank you.

What you just told me was very helpful.

You should go.

It'd be best to keep your distance
from me for a while.

Do you understand?

Be careful, Mr. Jang!

There is an invisible hand

that controls everything.

How could you let this happen
as the police chief?

A shooting in broad daylight
in front of Lady Maeda's house

while she's in mourning?

My sincerest apologies!
We should have been more vigilant.

This is not only
an act of provocation toward us all,

but a clear act of terrorism.

You must find out who's behind it at once!

Take this opportunity to wipe out
all seditious Joseon-borns in Gyeongseong.

Anyone who is a nuisance
should be dealt with!

- That's right!
- Yes!

- We can't let this go on.
- Let's dispose of them!

Hello?

Shiro?

What is going on?

You promised you would leave
the House of Golden Treasure alone!

You said I just needed to tell you
where the sleuth woman was.

But officers just came
and turned this place upside down!

No, I can't do this anymore.

I quit. Just give me my money.

You promised to put me
on a ship bound for Tokyo.

This is not the time.

We'll talk later.

Hello?

Mr. Gu…

Is it still not moving?

No, sir.

Throw it some prey.

We're out of test subjects, sir.

We still have one left.

Hey. Come out.

Hey!

Hey!

Help me out.

Yukiko Maeda?

Dear me.

You already know who I am,

Ms. Yoon Chae-ok.

This is strange.

The Japanese officers
have suddenly quieted down.

Papers! Get your papers.

Papers!

Get your papers!

Papers!

And the Jongno Police Station?

They don't seem to have found
the whereabouts of Yoon Chae-ok either.

Then why have they gone so quiet?

Normally, they would have turned
Bonjeong and Jongno upside down by now.

Whatever it is, I find it quite different
from how it used to be.

They're also keeping quiet
about Ichiro's death.

Master.

Mrs. Nawol. How did it go?

It went well.

But I think you need to head downstairs.

You have a visitor.

Well then,

I'll leave you two alone.

What brings her here?

I'm not sure.

They're just sitting there
without much to say.

Wait, I don't see Beom-o.
Where could he have gone?

Forget about him.

He's not coming back.

That woman, Mrs. Nawol,

is she trustworthy?

She's been like family
since I was a child.

Just because they're like family
doesn't mean you can trust them.

You shouldn't trust people so easily.

They don't betray you
because they are evil.

They betray you because they are weak.

And most human beings are weak.

What is the reason for this visit?

So, don't bother waiting.

Ms. Yoon Chae-ok will not be coming back.

What do you mean?

I just told you.

Betrayal is caused not by evil,
but by weakness.

That woman wasn't strong enough

to stay by your side.

Do you know where she is?

Where is she?

Lady Maeda!

She is dead.

And guess what.

I liked you much better
before you went to Ongseong Hospital.

You clearly differentiated
what would bring you profit versus loss.

Simple-minded.

Hence, powerful.

Please

return to your former self.

Forget about Ishikawa, Akiko,
and Ongseong Hospital.

Even Yoon Chae-ok.

Forget all about that woman.

Just live your life like before,

as if nothing had ever happened.

Do that, and you
and the House of Golden Treasure

will be safe.

Be careful, Mr. Jang!

There is an invisible hand

that controls everything.

How did you find out?

I pulled every string

in Bonjeong and Jongno,
but couldn't even find a trace of her,

so how…

how is it that you know about her death?

If it wasn't for me,

you would have been arrested already.

The fact that you were close
with the woman who shot Director Ichiro

is enough to classify you as seditious.

So,

don't do anything dangerous anymore,

Mr. Jang.

Where is Yoon Chae-ok?

I told you. She is dead.

Then let me see her body.

Stop…

disappointing me.

I don't want us to become enemies.

Yoon Chae-ok!

Where is she?

You will never see her again.

I don't care what you've done.
I will find her.

Whether she's dead or not,
I will find her, no matter what!

Are you saying you plan to go against me?

How can someone like me
possibly be a match for you?

You're a Japanese citizen with power
from a mighty family...

If you know that, stay quiet.

You'll be safe that way.

Even so!

This is about Yoon Chae-ok.

I may run a petty pawnshop,

I may have lived a life without pride

doing all sorts of crap so I could get by,
but for once in my life,

I wanted to protect her,
even if I had to give up all that I have.

So?

Just how will you go against me?

With what?

Not those pieces of trash
by your side, I hope.

Watch your mouth. They are my people!

Do you even know
how those people betrayed you?

That woman, Mrs. Nawol,
whom you consider family.

She ratted out your mother
a long time ago.

My mother is in there too.

Have you seen her?

Her name is Sim Sun-deok.

Do you know her?

No.

You haven't heard her name either?

I haven't.

SIM SUN-DEOK

That man, Gu Gap-pyeong,

recently betrayed you
in the police bureau's torture chamber.

I will…

tell you everything now.

Everything…

And that kid, Beom-o?

To find his mother who left him
and ran away to Japan when he was a kid,

he betrayed you.

He sold you out
for a cheap passage ticket,

even when you've treated him like family.

And your so-called friend?

It took him only a few hours to confess
that you and your friends were key rebels.

That's what humans do
when they are pathetically weak.

So desperate to save their own skin
that they forget the favors they received.

They have no morals.

And yet,

what did you say you'd do
with those pieces of trash?

You'd go against me?

When I'm the one working tirelessly
for you, even at this very moment?

You say you'll betray me?

Is that what you're saying, Mr. Jang?

Fine.

You may be right.

But

did you know?

None of those people

would have gone through those things

had the world been different.

If the world had been different,

they wouldn't have ended up in jail

and beaten to near death
so as to betray their friends.

They wouldn't have gotten burned
or had their nails plucked out.

And they wouldn't have had to give in,
give up the names of their friends,

and live the rest of their lives
wracked with guilt.

But despite all that,

they're fighting tooth and nail
and living with the pain

because they need to survive,
no matter how humiliating and shameful!

We have to survive,

or no one will remember
what we went through.

So don't you dare
call them pieces of trash.

Not a single one of them

deserves to be called such
by the likes of you.

So…

that's your choice.

Exactly.

This is my choice.

This is it for us.

Lady Maeda.

Let's go inside.

The night

is still cold.

Master!

Master!

Master.

What did I…

What did I just say out there?

You were being yourself.

You said everything there is to be said.

Just wait.

I will find the clues…

to Yoon Chae-ok's whereabouts…

before I die.

Tae-sang.

When did you find out?

That I…

gave up…

your mother's name?

It was…

a little after Mother passed away.

And you…

still

took me in?

Because I didn't think it was your fault.

Don't worry too much.

You know Mr. Gu.

Once he sets his mind on something,

he always comes back with a hint.

Let's wait.

What if it's true?

What if she really is dead?

Is the prey ready?

Lady Maeda sent us a Josenjing woman.
