100 DAYS OF DECEPTION

Wait…

EPISODE 5

Unbelievable.

I went out of my way to call him.

I spoke to him in English

so the operator wouldn't understand, but he didn't even thank me.

My goodness.

You scared me.

Why are you standing here?

Are you going home?

Sorry? You told me to leave for the day.

I forgot I was supposed to treat you well.

-Let's go to the photo studio. -The photo studio?

I'm going with you to the photo studio.

Well, I suppose a photo studio picture is better than a newspaper one.

Let's go. Come with me.

Where are they shooting from?

Where did it come from?

Are you all right?

Get in!

Let's go.

Damn it. Get in!

Get in!

Jeong-yeop, stay awake.

You have to stay awake.

Wake up, you punk!

Jeong-yeop!

Chief!

Over there!

Break it!

Second floor, go!

He went that way.

He ran out that way.

It's a tall, young guy with a mask on.

There's no one here.

-That way. -Yes, sir!

What do we have here?

Close the curtains!

She's the daughter of the president of Joil Textile Factory.

Joil Textile Factory.

She came to get custom clothes fitted.

We heard a commotion outside and locked the door.

The culprit was hiding upstairs.

How am I supposed to believe that?

Here's my card.

JOIL

The president will be having dinner with the governor-general next week.

That said,

if he hears that the police pulled open the changing room curtain

on his precious only daughter,

I don't think he would be too happy.

Sorry about that.

Young-bok!

Young-bok.

Young-bok, stay with me.

Young-bok.

Miss.

Are you all right?

Oh no, Young-bok.

Young-bok.

Oh no, Young-bok!

100 DAYS OF DECEPTION

I'm getting you in focus, so try not to move.

This should work.

Okay, here we go.

Give me a smile.

Good.

One, two, three.

What's the matter?

No, it's nothing.

I'm not sure I got the focus right.

Excuse me.

Would you mind helping me?

Sorry?

I forgot my glasses today, so I can't tell if the picture is blurry.

I need your help.

I'll adjust the distance.

Just tell me when it looks clear.

Sure, I can do that.

Thank you. Here you go.

Let's make this quick. I'm starving.

I'll adjust it, so tell me when it looks clear to you.

Give me a big smile.

Okay.

Is it clear?

I'm not sure.

Let's try again.

Give me a smile.

Are you still not sure?

Seolleongtang delivery!

Hold on a second.

What took you so long?

I've been having tons of delivery orders today.

Ma'am, can I get some water?

Sure, water's in the room back there.

-Can I get two glasses? -Sure.

-What are you-- -One moment.

Must be crazy about each other.

What are you doing?

Just a moment.

Come on, let's go.

Okay, I'm coming!

Still at it?

-Thanks for the water, ma'am. -Sure.

I'll come back for the bowls tomorrow.

Thank you. See you.

Bye.

What took you so long?

Sorry, I had to grab some water.

Let's go home.

No-ma, I want candy.

Candy.

Candy!

All right.

What was that all about?

Did you cry?

No, I just…

got something in my eye.

Who was that just now?

A debt collector?

Or…

your former lover?

What?

A former lover?

If not, why would you hide?

What, were you afraid

of running into him after cheating on him?

Cheating?

What do you take me for?

Excuse me.

Oh boy.

I'm sorry.

Ms. Keum.

Ms. Keum!

-How much is the candy? -One jeon.

I'll take this one.

Thank you.

-Sir, please buy some candy. -Here.

What's wrong?

I just saw someone who looked like Ga-kyung.

I told you, Kkot-nim.

She's gone to America. Forget about her.

You won't see her again.

But I still miss her.

Won't you eat your candy?

I will.

Go on then.

Back off.

Okay.

Hold on.

Move it over there.

SUSPECT'S DESCRIPTION NAME: HAN CHEOL-YONG

Look over here.

Not him.

Over that way!

Spread out and search!

Please let me go. My sister is waiting for me.

Will you shut up?

He's much older than me.

Shut up.

Kkot-nim is waiting for me.

FOR KIDS' CONSTIPATION

Sorry. I'm so sorry.

Were you trying to pick this up?

Is this yours?

Here.

Why are you here alone?

Don't you have any family?

I do have a family.

I have an older sister

and an older brother.

My brother went to deliver seolleongtang, so I'm waiting for him.

He said he'd be late if he took me along.

So he promised he'd be quick.

I've waited and waited,

but he hasn't come back.

I'm sorry I took so long.

There are still police all over Jongno.

What about Sato?

Listen, Seok-jung.

Forget about Sato for now. Take care of yourself first.

You almost ended up six feet under before he did.

In any case, we need to get you to a hospital.

The trouble is, there are wanted posters at the hospital.

Apparently, the Gugukdan targeted Sato

in Dongsung-dong tonight but failed.

Still, word is the Japanese police took heavy losses.

The Gugukdan lost several members as well.

Over there!

My brother can run super fast.

He used to pull a rickshaw.

But these days, he delivers seolleongtang

because he has a bicycle now.

He couldn't ride a bike before,

but now he rides well.

He says he can deliver four bowls of seolleongtang at once.

Wow, that's amazing.

-Right? Isn't he cool? -He sure is.

Mak-dung.

-Mak-dung. Hurry, come eat. -Okay.

My brother brought me seolleongtang the other day.

It was really good.

-Dad! -Dad!

He says I'll get a stomachache if I eat too much seolleongtang,

so I can only have it once a month.

That's a lie.

He's a terrible liar.

My sister says it's because he has a good heart.

We're here. That's our house.

Aren't you hungry?

Wow, that looks yummy!

Careful, it's hot.

I'll cool it down for you.

Once you finish the porridge, take your cold medicine.

Kkot-nim! Bang Kkot-nim!

Bang Kkot-nim! Bang Kkot…

Kkot-nim!

-Where were you? -No-ma!

Kkot-nim.

How did you get home? And what are you eating?

And who are you?

I'm home.

Is no one home?

What?

A former lover?

Cheating?

Unbelievable.

A rich kid's mind really is a world of luxury.

I couldn't even afford to beat the cold, let alone cheat on anybody.

Oh dear.

Kkot-nim.

Why are you coughing? It breaks my heart.

I suppose

this is where it ends.

-Take him away. -Yes, sir!

Your plan worked brilliantly, sir.

The Gugukdan really did turn up.

The one behind the attack at Yoo Philip's house

must be a member of the Gugukdan.

Do you realize how many officers we lost just to kill one guy?

Did you even count them?

I'm sorry, sir.

Hunt down every last one of them.

Wipe out the Gugukdan for good.

Get that guy first and round them all up.

On it, sir!

Inspector General!

Chief!

We caught him.

Hands in the air.

It's me.

Are you hurt?

Han Cheol-yong…

is dead.

The police have his body, so…

in case the police come searching,

I came to clear out his room.

Is this everything?

Yes.

I think he cleaned it out beforehand.

Let's get out of here then.

No nation in the world

has the right to occupy another country by force

and oppress its people.

The independence of our country is only right,

and it will inevitably come to pass.

Oh no, Jeong-yeop.

Jeong-yeop.

What in the world happened?

Jeong-yeop!

If my death could bring about

the independence of my nation even a single second sooner,

I hold no regrets at all.

A man of Joseon.

Han Cheol-yong.

Madam.

Madam.

I'm coming in.

Didn't she come home last night?

Present arms!

Welcome, sir.

We didn't know you were returning to Keijo today, Your Excellency.

How was your journey?

About as peaceful as Keijo.

With scoundrels like Lee Bong-chang and Lee Deok-ju around,

I have to hide my itinerary and move around under the radar.

You'd think I were some kind of criminal.

So I hear there was a shootout near Keijo Imperial University yesterday.

Did you catch the culprit?

We shot one dead at the scene--

Ever since you took office,

it seems those subversives

have been running rampant, don't you think?

You can't die, Young-bok.

You'd better not die, or you're fired.

Who's there?

Didn't I tell you to stay away from my room?

Miss.

Your father is leaving now.

Father.

Have a good day.

All right.

Young-bok, that ungrateful brat.

I thought he was bright,

so I sent him to school and made him my butler.

Yet over a little stomach bug,

he wouldn't bother to show up when I go to work?

That's the problem with these lowborn sorts.

I can't educate them.

The king may say the classes are all equal now.

But generations of slave blood run in his veins.

Just because he piggybacked you as a kid and grew up beside you,

he forgot he's some lowborn nobody.

For crying out loud.

You hang around the Japanese and think you're one of them now.

What?

What was that, Myung-nam?

It's nothing.

I'll give Young-bok a proper earful, so don't worry about it.

Still, he's quite sick. I'll let him take three days off.

Fine.

But make sure those three days are unpaid.

Sure, I'll handle it.

Have a good day, Dad.

You too.

There you go.

Let's get this medicine down.

Down it goes.

All gone.

Good job.

So this was medicine for constipation?

That's right.

We don't know how to read, so we had no idea what this was.

Right?

That's why Ga-kyung drew this for us before she left.

I miss her.

Tell me about it.

Ga-kyung, seriously…

-You know what? -Yeah?

I think the teacher is the most handsome man I've ever seen.

What? Who? That guy from yesterday?

Yeah.

Hey, he's pale as a ghost, like a walking tofu block.

You call that handsome?

And why are you calling him "teacher"?

I asked him to teach me how to read, so he's my teacher.

What?

How to read?

Yeah, he's going to come over to teach me how to read.

He promised me.

Kkot-nim, you should've asked me first!

I can't wait for him to come.

Now I get to learn how to read like Ga-kyung.

I'm going to read!

Hey, Bang Kkot-nim!

I just hope the boss doesn't catch us.

What? Did you have something to say?

Things are tense at the Government-General today.

So don't wander around if you can.

You always tell me not to wander around.

Can I not even go to the bathroom?

I'm saying, don't wander around for no reason.

I've never wandered around for no reason.

The only ladies' room is in the corner on the first floor.

So it just takes long.

It's not like I'm slacking off.

Very well, then.

Speaking of which, I need to use the restroom.

You don't need to report that.

By the way…

why are things tense around here?

Last night…

Yes, Sato speaking.

Yes, it's almost done.

You complete idiot!

What the hell were you thinking, dropping this pipe?

Even if you Josenjings work your whole lives, you can't afford this!

-Sorry, sir! -I'm sorry!

You'd better not put a scratch on it,

or you'll pay with your lives!

Do it properly!

I'm going to the bathroom.

NO ENTRY

I hope that damn murderer drops dead in the street.

All he ever says is "Josenjing."

That wretched Japanese jerk.

Hey, you okay after that beating?

The same spot again, damn it.

-Watch where you're going! -I'm sorry.

Well, well, look who it is.

Your name was…

Yes, I'm Keum Seo-hee.

It's an honor that you recall me.

Keum Seo-hee.

Right.

I did hear you joined us as an interpreter trainee.

I've been swamped and couldn't make time to come say hi.

Don't worry about it, sir.

I should have been the one to introduce myself.

Is Mr. Yoo doing well?

Yes, sir.

If you have any trouble or need anything, feel free to come see me.

Thank you very much.

Joseon women are rather so boring.

I suppose a woman educated by an American

should be a bit different.

Chief.

Oh, Hideo.

How have you been?

Fine.

It's been a while.

This is Keum Seo-hee, an interpreter trainee.

You've met her before, right?

I'm sorry to interrupt your conversation,

but I was looking for Ms. Keum. It's rather urgent.

Please take this up to the Publications Division.

It's on the fourth floor.

Yes, sir.

My apologies, Chief.

It was an urgent matter.

By the way, I heard there was a shootout

with the Gugukdan in Dongsung-dong last night.

I'm glad you weren't badly hurt.

They came at us ready to die, yet all they managed was this tiny scratch.

How is it working with Ms. Keum?

As you know, I was ordered to make sure she was well taken care of.

"Well taken care of," was it…

Well, excuse me then.

Two Josenjings…

Well, isn't this interesting?

Hideo.

Yes?

I'm back.

I warned you not to wander around for no reason.

I wasn't. I was just coming back from the bathroom.

Last night…

the Gugukdan tried to kill the inspector general

near Keijo Imperial University.

After the shootout, there were heavy casualties on both sides.

We're hunting down the remaining fugitives.

That's why things are tense around the office today.

I see.

Ms. Keum.

Yes?

You'll be working out of the office today.

It's an order from above.

Out of the office?

JONGNO POLICE STATION

-Sir! -Sir!

Maybe this fool inside doesn't know Japanese.

He hasn't said a word.

I was going to call for a Joseon language interpreter.

I'd appreciate your help.

Sure.

By the way…

have you identified the fugitives who got away yesterday?

Why do you want to know?

I thought it might be useful while interpreting the interrogation.

You don't need to know.

Understood.

Those bastards who ran took bullets.

We're sweeping every hospital, so they'll get caught soon enough.

-Open the door. -Yes, sir!

Welcome, sir!

Welcome.

Come on in.

Right after yesterday's shootout, we spotted a suspicious guy in Jongno

and combed the whole neighborhood. Then we found him hiding.

Neither one has spoken yet,

but he fits the description

of the suspect who broke into the American reporter's house.

His old gunshot wound

is badly infected,

so he's burning up with a fever.

How are you?

What's your name?

Interpret that.

Yes, sir.

What is your name?

If you won't talk on your own,

I'll have no choice but to make you.

Go ahead.

Why are you out here?

Jeez, you scared me.

I thought you were a ghost from the crematorium.

You almost gave me a heart attack.

And stop talking nonsense.

That's a crematorium for the Jap. Why would a Japanese ghost come here?

It's all Gyodang-ri, either here or there.

Yeah, right.

Look at this.

Right here.

This is what the Japs did just because we cried for independence.

But they're all from the same Gyodang-ri? Like hell.

-What are you doing out here? -What?

Did something happen to Kkot-nim?

No, not at all.

I was just out watching the stars.

You'll just get hungry if you stay up. Go to sleep.

Okay, good night.

I thought the boss had caught us.

You pale tofu. Don't you dare try something funny.

Giyeok.

Giyeok.

Giyeok.

Teacher, is something wrong?

What?

No, nothing's wrong.

I don't believe you. You look so worried.

Not at all.

Are you done writing?

-Let's see. -Teacher.

You should go. I can see it all over your face.

Go where?

You've been wanting to go to the bathroom. Am I right?

The League of Nations Commission will soon arrive in Keijo.

To have the League of Nations recognize Manchukuo's legitimacy,

it is crucial that we show the Commission

that Manchuria and Joseon are thriving in peace and prosperity.

-Yes, sir. -Yes, sir.

But in Manchuria,

the Japanese army is being pushed around

by rebels like Ji Cheong-cheon and Yang Se-bong.

And Kim Gu's stooges

are sneaking into Joseon to kill me.

Until the Commission arrives,

the Government-General's top priority

is to maintain public order in Keijo.

Is that clear?

-Yes, sir! -Yes, sir!

Inspector General.

You should see to it

that the foreign press in Keijo is handled with extreme care.

Japan's deployment of the Kwantung Army to Manchuria

was a legitimate act of retaliation

against China's interference with Japanese economic activity.

Make that clear to the press.

Understood.

You may go.

Yes, sir.

Commander.

Yes, sir.

Do you think he fully understood what I just said?

Your Excellency.

The Japanese in Joseon are colonial residents.

They aren't mainlanders like us.

Colonial residents are an inferior, lowborn lot.

Men like him can scrub all they want,

but they can't get the filth out from under their nails.

You should be especially wary of them.

Very well.

That's right.

These Josenjings are like cockroaches.

No matter how many we crush, they keep crawling back.

Is this your stubborn nature?

Did you think we'd be impressed and hand you your independence?

What are you doing?

Interpret that.

Yes.

He says

that people of Joseon continue to fight for independence.

That's it?

Why was that so short?

I'm sorry.

I was trying to find the right Joseon words

to capture your meaning.

He's asking if you think this will ever lead to independence.

There's something I'm genuinely curious about.

Do you, independence fighters, the Gugukdan or whatever,

honestly believe you can save Joseon?

He's asking if you think

the independence fighters can save Joseon.

Don't you want to answer, or don't you know?

Then I'll tell you.

You…

Your so-called independence movement is ruining Joseon.

You're holding on to a dead hope

and instigating the barbaric Josenjings.

You traitors are robbing them of the honor of being reborn

as loyal subjects of the Great Empire of Japan.

Do you realize how pathetic it is

to cling to a hope that's already dead?

The independence fighters

are ruining Joseon.

You're holding on to a long-dead hope,

instigating barbaric--

Why is it taking you so long?

You're instigating the barbaric Josenj…

people of Joseon.

You're committing treason by robbing them of the chance

of being reborn as subjects of the Great Empire of Japan.

You pathetic Josenjing.

I bet you felt like a hero while plotting your grand scheme.

But look at you now.

Look around this room.

Who do you have around you?

Did you promise to keep your mouth shut if you got caught?

Did you take an oath or something?

Now you're learning the hard way

how pointless an oath made by lowborn scum like you actually is!

Your grand scheme…

Do you understand me?

A miserable, meaningless death all alone.

That's all the Josenjing independence movement will ever achieve.

I said, do you understand?

You filthy Josenjing roaches.

Why isn't he saying anything?

Are you interpreting my words properly?

Interpreter trainee Keum Seo-hee.

Interpreter trainee Keum Seo-hee!

Who are you?

You.

You're that live-in maid, aren't you?

Why are you using that name?

Why?

What is he talking about?

What are you all doing?

Is that your real name?

Is that really your name?

Who the hell are you?

Answer me!

Why are you using her name?

What's this lunatic saying now?

Who are you really?

I said, who are you?

Interpret that, Keum Seo-hee!

Why, Interpreter Sato.

What brings you all the way here?

By any chance,

did you come by to check on Ms. Keum?

I'm here to see if the work is being handled properly.

As you can see, she's--

No.

I'm talking about you, Chief.

I'd like to hear what you've found out from him so far.

You pulled an English interpreter trainee

from the Foreign Affairs Division to interrogate in the Joseon language.

I suppose you've found out quite a lot by now.

Well, then,

tell me what you've found out.

What was his motive for targeting the inspector general?

What is his name?

What did you find out about the Gugukdan?

You insolent Josenjing!

How dare a mere interpreter speak to me like that!

I've spoiled you like a young master,

and now you seem to have forgotten your place.

Do you really think you're the inspector general's son?

You're nothing but a Josenj…

Inspector General.

-When did you get here-- -Finish what you were saying.

I'm intrigued.

If Hideo isn't my real son,

then what is he?

Please forgive me!

Please forgive my outburst, sir!

I apologize for the trouble.

Make sure she gets home safely.

Interpreter Sato.

Sir, please allow me to explain--

Forgive me, sir!

Did you forget Keum Seo-hee is involved with that American reporter?

Did you forget how critical

foreign press coverage of Joseon is because of Manchukuo?

You learned nothing from what happened in 1919.

Did you forget

how "that incident" blew up

after the Americans reported it abroad?

I am deeply sorry, sir.

Utter idiot.

Ms. Keum.

My apologies.

I assure you it won't happen again.

That being said…

I'd appreciate it…

if today's incident didn't reach

the foreign press.

I mean, Mr. Yoo.

Have you found out who he is?

Not yet, sir. My apologies.

But he keeps insisting

that he and that man are not members of the Gugukdan.

We'll find out soon.

I'd prefer if they were the Gugukdan.

Did you know your fellow members were killed in Dongsung-dong?

We've identified him, sir.

Is that so?

Yes, we found him in the watchlist files.

His name is Na Byeong-sun.

He lives in Anseong-gun, Gyeonggi Province.

See?

You can hold your tongue all you want,

but we find everything out eventually.

What's the point of wasting time like this?

Bring his wife and children here. Now.

Yes, sir.

Let's see if he'll stay quiet once we put his family

hanging in front of him.

You'd better start talking.

Unless you want to watch

your family die in front of you.

My family?

Shut up!

So it won't leak to foreign outlets?

Yes.

If news of this

gets out overseas,

it could be a problem…

Mr. Yoo is a journalist, after all.

I'd appreciate your discretion.

Understood.

Thank you for kindly reminding me how I became

an interpreter trainee at the Government-General.

Thank you for everything.

-Ms. Keum. -I'll go by myself.

What, are you going somewhere?

I'm done playing spy. Goodbye.

You're quitting?

Yes!

I quit.

I shouldn't have gotten involved in this mess in the first place.

I don't want to die for nothing.

"Die for nothing"?

Right, for nothing.

Look, you went to Dongsung-dong yesterday, didn't you?

When I found out,

I wondered if you'd been dead or arrested.

I went to Jongno Police Station today worried sick about you.

I could barely catch my breath until I realized it wasn't you.

But do you know what I had to do there today?

I interpreted the interrogation of a captured independence fighter.

"You damn Josenjing."

"I bet you felt like a hero while plotting your grand scheme."

"But look at you now. Who do you have around you?"

"You'll die for nothing all alone."

"That's all the Josenjing independence movement will ever achieve."

"You filthy Josenjing roaches!"

I spent the whole day

having to translate those insults.

The man they'd arrested wouldn't say a single word.

I was the only one talking back and forth

between the chief of police and that man.

I didn't know you'd be put in that position.

But did you think

being a spy was all fun and games?

You said you didn't care about the independence movement.

Then why take it so hard that you interpreted those words

for an independence fighter?

Who says I'm taking it hard?

I'm not.

It's just that once my cover gets blown,

I'll end up arrested like him and killed for nothing.

I refuse to die a meaningless death. So I'm out right here and now.

Watch your mouth!

"A meaningless death"?

How can you say that about someone who was captured

fighting for our nation's independence?

No Joseon person would ever call that sacrifice meaningless.

In fact, anywhere in the world,

dying for your country's freedom

is never considered a meaningless death.

Don't kid yourself.

I'm no independence fighter.

You see,

I took the job at the Government-General since you promised to send me to America.

But if my cover gets blown,

I'll look like an independence fighter in their eyes.

How am I different from the man they interrogated today?

I was posing as an interpreter trainee, and he was posing as a deliveryman.

That's the only difference.

It's the same thing!

A deliveryman?

Yes.

It was him.

The one who got into this house posing as a deliveryman.

No matter how well you cover your tracks--

You mean…

he was the one who came here to kill Sato?

Right.

On the night of the dinner,

he came into this house with a gun

disguised as a deliveryman from Itsukoshi.

He's not part of the Gugukdan, is he?

Did he…

say something?

What did he say?

Say?

I wish he had said a single word.

He wasn't cooperative at all.

So the interrogation took all day.

It was like he was set on keeping his mouth shut.

That is, until he heard my name.

All of a sudden, he started asking who I was.

He went wild and yelled about why I was using that name.

Your name?

Lee Ga-kyung?

What?

No.

Keum Seo-hee, obviously.

The moment he heard that name, he started…

What's going on?

Seo-hee

was my daughter's name.

My daughter, the one killed by the inspector general.

Don't tell me…

Is he…

your husband?

Your daughter, Keum Seo-hee.

Is he the father of your daughter?

Is he?

Is he really?

Is that true? Really?

You people are insane!

Is independence really worth all this?

You're here like this, and your husband…

He's lying there covered in blood, beaten half to death.

I'm not dying getting caught up in this madness.

I'm out. I'm calling it quits.

I told you. There's no mercy for traitors.

Go right ahead.

You made me a spy, but you never trusted me.

What kind of spy is that? And what did I betray?

-Lee Ga-kyung. -Get your hands off me!

This is insane.

Oh no.

No.

Why's everything such a mess?

Keum Seo-hee.

Who?

I don't know anyone by that name.

A MAN OF JOSEON HAN CHEOL-YONG

100 DAYS OF DECEPTION

Keum Seo-hee.

She's going to rely on you a lot.

INTERPRETER SATO HIDEO

Seo-hee's father.

What are you planning to do?

What Sato wants to hide the most…

A mass murderer.

If Sato realizes he was one of the victims from the Kyeam-ri massacre,

there's a chance he'll find out who I am.
