Interpret my speech into English.

Yes, sir.

His Excellency the Governor-General

would like to make a toast.

Today, May 15th, 1932,

Joseon's first pneumatic tube system has been successfully unveiled.

The Great Japanese Empire's efforts

for the development of Joseon have borne fruit today.

It is a new milestone in Joseon's modernization,

and it marks the first step towards

a future Manchukuo-Joseon prosperity sphere

that will stretch all the way to Manchukuo.

Thank you.

Interpreter Sato.

Why don't you join us for a toast?

Yes, sir.

Raise your glasses.

It'll go off at 6:20 p.m. Get as far away as you can.

Cheers!

Cheers!

What's going on?

Your Excellency.

Yes?

What did you say?

Excuse me, everyone!

Due to an emergency,

the banquet has been canceled.

We'll update you on the situation once we've sorted things out.

Please travel home safely.

We're very sorry.

Chief of Police.

Check security, come to the Governor-General's Office.

Yes, sir!

Just now,

Prime Minister Inukai was attacked in Tokyo.

MAY 15TH, 1932, 5:30 P.M. SOLDIERS ATTACKED PRIME MINISTER INUKAI

We'd better leave.

Please explain to us.

What is going on?

What did the inspector general say?

Everyone's leaving.

Mademoiselle.

Just a moment.

- Fourth floor. - Yes, sir.

Interpreter Sato!

Stop apologizing and explain what's going on.

Please return home today.

- Interpreter Sato! - Today's banquet is over.

Please head home.

Excuse me.

- There's nothing I can tell you right now. - Mr. Sato!

Ms. Keum.

Mr. Sato.

Excuse me.

Excuse me!

I'm sorry. Please head home.

Don't push!

Are you okay, Ms. Keum?

Now, let's get out.

Was that a bomb?

Someone get a stretcher!

Mr. Sato.

Mr. Sato!

There might be another bomb!

Everyone, evacuate immediately!

Mr. Sato!

Mr. Sato.

Ms. Keum.

Are you all right?

Yes, I'm fine.

Are you okay?

Yes.

You need to get out of here.

Someone, please…

Somebody,

help this person!

Get outside, now.

Ms. Keum.

Mr. Sato!

Are you okay?

Madam!

Madam!

What are you doing here? Let's get out.

What?

We'll all get caught if we don't hurry.

You're leaving for America anyway. Why act loyal?

Move. Let's go.

Myung-nam, hurry.

It's okay, Dad. We're almost there.

Ms. Keum!

Ms. Keum…

Ms. Keum!

Who's behind all this?

Was that explosion your doing too?

Tell me. Are you with the Gugukdan too?

Independence…

for…

Korea.

Father?

He's an independence fighter.

Shoot.

Kill him.

We have to run.

The police will be here soon after those gunshots.

Inspector General!

Inspector General!

I just heard the gunshots.

A bomb went off in the banquet hall.

There may be more bombs. We need to get outside.

Songjeon.

Songjeon.

Songjeon!

Songjeon…

So-ran.

So-ran, we have to go.

Songjeon.

Wake up, Songjeon!

So-ran.

Get in, Dad.

Hold on.

What are you doing? Go to Gyeongseong Station already.

What about Mrs. Yoo?

Did you not hear me earlier?

You should go already.

Aren't you going to America?

Myung-nam!

Get over here!

Myung-nam, hurry!

Myung-nam, get in here.

This way!

The suspect went that way!

Yes, sir!

A woman?

How did it go?

Did Songjeon make it out?

Oh…

I'm not sure.

All the papers for America are in that bag.

So-ran packed this for you to eat on the ship.

Wipe your face first or you'll get caught at a security check.

Hang in there.

Mr. Hideo.

Let's get going.

Shoot.

Hideo!

I'm done going easy on you.

Don't forget.

You're nobody if I'm dead.

100 DAYS OF DECEPTION

The Foreign Affairs chief died on the spot.

The head of General Affairs at the Communications Bureau

died on the way to the hospital.

I see.

I wonder what you'll have to say for yourself this time, Inspector General,

with that big mouth of yours.

Didn't you preach about using the situation to our advantage?

You swore you'd round up every last one of those subversives.

A bomb, here in the Government-General?

How dare you

make a fool of me!

I take full responsibility.

- I'm sorry. - You incompetent fool!

A colonial resident like you never deserved the position in the first place.

Step down now!

Will that solve everything?

What?

If I step down,

will everyone forget the bomb went off at the Government-General?

Inspector General!

Yun Bong-gil's bombing in Shanghai was only two weeks ago.

The League of Nations team arrives in Joseon in under two months.

At a time like this,

a bomb goes off at the Government-General of Joseon

and the inspector general resigns…

What will the international community make of that?

The whole thing happened in front of the foreign press.

How are you supposed to bury that?

Today's incident

was a random act by a Japanese man who's mentally unstable.

No independence fighters ever infiltrated the Government-General.

This is a time

when Joseon must appear peaceful.

Your Excellency.

It went just as we planned.

The outrage fades quickly.

It's cleaning up the mess that matters.

When someone offers to wield the sword for us,

there's no reason to say no.

Yes, sir.

I'll make sure we catch the culprit tonight!

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

This pawn ticket.

Why'd you put it here?

Do you not want

anything to do with someone like me anymore?

Ga-kyung.

When you get to America, live life your way.

Neither I nor my daughter could do that.

But I want you to have that chance, no matter what.

Be happy.

You have to.

CASTELLA

Just as he was leaving,

he said to me…

"When spring comes,

let's take Seo-hee to Gyeongseong

and have some castella."

Incheon!

The train for Incheon is about to depart.

Watch your step.

I'm not sure it was a good idea to come home.

You should get more treatment and rest.

They'll get suspicious if our house is empty.

I can manage.

All right.

But don't push yourself too hard.

Who is it?

We're from the Government-General.

What's going on?

Mr. Hideo.

So-ran.

The Government-General sent the police with Mr. Hideo.

Mr. Hideo.

Hello.

Sorry to bother you so late.

We're checking everyone

who may have been hurt at the banquet today.

Did you… not get hurt?

Honey, what's all this about?

Mr. Hideo.

I appreciate you checking on us, but it's awfully late--

Wait.

You're missing one earring.

A pearl earring, at that.

Put those guns away…

Have you lost your mind?

Stay back.

I put the other earring

in here.

Stand back.

I'll check.

No.

I'll check it.

Put the guns down and step back.

Madam!

I'm back.

… Are you upstairs?

I'm back!

- Madam! Oh! - Freeze!

Mr. Sato.

Are you here to arrest us?

Put the guns down.

Put them down.

I'm Keum Seo-hee, an English interpreter trainee

with the Government-General's Foreign Affairs Division.

I work with Interpreter Sato Hideo here

at the Government-General.

Are you okay, Madam?

You look shaken up--

Back off!

Okay.

Mr. Sato.

Please check the drawer for the other earring.

Oh?

… Mr. Sato.

Under your foot…

Oh my.

Why does this keep falling out?

It almost got crushed under your foot.

I'll go get this fixed tomorrow.

Is that all you needed?

You said you were checking on people who may have been hurt from the bombing.

Why are you pointing guns at us?

The bombing at the Government-General?

Wait, are you here to find the bomber?

We can't comment on that.

We need to check for shoulder injury.

Both ladies who attended today's banquet.

Please pull down your tops and show your shoulders.

How dare you make such a demand of my wife?

Step back, please.

Shoulders?

… Just a moment.

Like this?

Will this do?

I'm clear, right?

Yes, you're clear.

Now let me check the madam.

That's enough.

Let's get going.

No, sir.

We still need to check.

Sorry about the trouble.

- Sorry. - Sorry.

Sorry to have caused you trouble.

We'll be in touch.

Okay.

They're gone.

Madam! Are you okay?

Oh. You're bleeding.

Why are you back?

What?

You were supposed to be on the train. Why'd you come back?

That's not important right now. Wait--

Going to America was your dream.

So why would you come back?

I can't stand owing anyone anything.

What?

You gave me this thick envelope, so I opened it.

It was the three months' pay you'd originally promised me.

I said I'd quit after just one month.

There's no taking it back, okay?

I can't give back what you've already paid me.

So I'll finish the full three months.

Send me to America after that.

If I took the money and bailed, I'd be a crook,

not a spy.

So-ran.

How did you find out?

The thing is…

We'd like your cooperation.

Why are you headed to Incheon?

I'm going to meet an American missionary.

I've agreed to look after their baby.

Raise your arms like this.

Do this with your arms.

I don't think she's been hurt.

Over there, pearl earrings…

See if she has both earrings.

Yes, sir.

Pearl earrings?

She has both.

Thank you.

We appreciate your cooperation.

Well, that's what happened.

I see.

So where'd you get the earring?

The earring?

THE FIRST JONGNO PAWNSHOP

Mister!

Mister, open the door!

Wake up!

Mister!

- Mister. - Who is it?

- It's me, Ga-kyung. - Who is it?

Mister!

Hurry up and open the door.

Don't you know what time it is?

Come on!

Apparently, it's all the rage among stylish ladies these days.

I hear lots of men buy them as gifts for their girlfriends.

I promised to give it back to the pawnshop tomorrow.

I never expected Sato Hideo to show up with the police.

He's clearly suspicious of us.

Even so,

do you really think he came because he suspects us?

The police tried to check her shoulder, but he stopped them, so they just left.

He probably only realized later how serious it was

to barge into a foreign reporter's house and try to make a woman undress

in times like these.

Songjeon has been killed.

What?

You mean…

the one who went in as a cook?

Yes.

Sato Hideo killed him.

I saw it myself.

Sato Hideo

murdered Songjeon.

Oh no, Hideo.

What happened?

- We need to call a doctor. - No.

There's no need.

Goodnight.

The accomplice fled with a gunshot wound to the shoulder.

Go to every female guest's house and check for gunshot wounds.

Yes, sir!

The suspect left one pearl earring at the scene. Use it as a lead!

Yes, sir!

She's the wife of Yoo Philip, an American correspondent from WWP News.

Mr. Hideo.

Hold on!

Mr. Yoo is an important foreign correspondent.

Conduct the investigation carefully.

If handled poorly,

this could become a diplomatic issue. That's why I came along.

Yes, sir.

This way.

Mr. Sato.

Under your foot…

Like this?

It can't be…

On the night of May 15th,

the Gugukdan carried out a bomb attack

at a pneumatic tube opening banquet at the Government-General,

resulting in heavy casualties among Japanese officials.

Comrade Songjeon, a Japanese member of the Gugukdan who died in the attack,

will not have sacrificed his life in vain.

We will remember our fallen comrade, Songjeon,

and never stop fighting for Joseon's independence.

Joseon…

will achieve independence, without fail.

Extra!

Extra!

GUGUKDAN CARRIES OUT BOMBING AT GOVERNMENT-GENERAL

It's in the paper.

That's a relief.

Did Suzuki tip them off?

Myung-nam.

Myung-nam, did you see this?

What is it?

Those lunatics. Have they completely lost their minds?

GOVERNMENT-GENERAL BOMBING BY A DERANGED LONER

How dare they cause a ruckus in that hallowed place?

They're utterly shameless.

At least the culprit took his own life.

It's a relief.

Lunatics?

Haven't you seen this?

The Gugukdan was behind yesterday's attack.

The culprit wasn't crazy or suicidal--

Enough!

The Gugukdan?

Don't even utter that disgraceful name.

And don't read seditious newspapers like this.

Anyway, you know what, Myung-nam?

Heaven was on my side.

I had a stomachache so I was in the bathroom.

I was upset about missing the toast at the banquet.

But thanks to that, I got away from the bombing without a scratch.

I'm telling you, Heaven is looking out for me.

I can't believe it.

Have some coffee, Dad.

All right.

Oh my goodness.

The coffee tastes extra sweet today.

Nothing beats the coffee my daughter makes.

Sir, these documents need your signature.

Ouch, my stomach.

Hang on.

The medicine in his drink

at the banquet yesterday must've been strong.

No.

He was saying things I didn't want to hear this morning,

so I put the rest in his coffee.

Young-bok.

If Kim Seung-eok, Joseon's most notorious traitor, weren't my dad,

would our comrades have suggested using laxatives to protect him?

Ms. Myung-nam.

I don't know anymore

if I did the right thing.

We're fighting to get rid of pro-Japanese traitors for independence.

So was it right to save my own father?

How can he be so shameless?

Songjeon is being humiliated like this.

Pardon me.

Sir,

it seems the Gugukdan carried out yesterday's attack.

I saw it already.

This morning, the governor-general called me to his residence and yelled at me.

I'm sorry.

Joseon Central News says

they published the story based on an anonymous tip.

But they claim they burned the original.

I ordered the paper to be shut down.

And none of the women had gunshot wounds?

There were at least four women

at the banquet

wearing pearl earrings yesterday.

And none of these four had gunshot wounds or any other injuries?

About that…

There's one thing you need to confirm.

What is it?

It'd be better to hear from them directly.

Come in!

These officers went to Yoo Philip's house last night.

Who is it?

We're from the Government-General.

We went with Interpreter Sato.

With Hideo?

Correct, sir.

Did you check the woman

for gunshot wounds?

We checked a young woman named Keum Seo-hee, and she was clear.

But the American reporter's wife…

we didn't check her.

You didn't check her?

That's right. The thing is…

Let's get going.

Interpreter Sato said

we didn't need to check her…

All right. You may leave.

Yes, sir!

What should we do?

Allow me to introduce my wife. She's Chinese.

What's going on?

Mrs. Yoo's button came off.

Find out whether anyone in Kyeam-ri

knows this woman.

Do you think she's Keum Seok-jung's wife?

Since the Gugukdan was behind yesterday's attack,

could she be one of them too?

Good morning.

Who is it?

It's Interpreter Sato.

Oh, Hideo!

Hello.

Please come in.

By the way,

I heard about your engagement.

Congratulations.

Thanks.

Soon you won't walk around

with your head held high, pretending to be Japanese.

Josenjing.

Your wound is pretty deep.

Shouldn't you get it checked at the hospital?

Don't worry.

There's no shortage of people who want me dead.

But…

I'm not going to die.

I acted rashly yesterday.

I shouldn't have let my feelings get the better of me. Forgive me.

Should I be glad you've finally realized it?

I'm sorry.

Apart from…

finding out that the Gugukdan did it,

did you find anything else?

Why do you want to know?

I'm worried about you, Father.

Yesterday's attack was serious.

Focus on the foreign press and prepare for the League of Nations' visit.

That's what you need to worry about,

nothing else, Interpreter Sato.

Yes, understood.

The governor-general will be working from his residence for the time being.

Keep that in mind.

Understood.

Why did you go to Yoo Philip's house last night?

Given how important the foreign press is,

I was worried the officers might offend them, so I went along.

Only Yoo Philip's story

was in line with the official position of the Government-General.

He reported

that a mentally unstable Japanese man was behind the attack.

You seem to be getting along well with him.

Fine. You may go.

Yes, sir.

ENGLISH TRANSLATION UNIT

I saw it myself.

Sato Hideo

murdered Songjeon.

Hello.

Ms. Keum.

Yes?

What am I…

supposed to call you?

Sorry?

Keum Seo-hee?

Lee Gae-ttong?

I'm not sure what you mean out of the blue.

So…

what's your real name?

You are…

a spy, aren't you?

100 DAYS OF DECEPTION

Her cover's been blown?

Isn't there a Josenjing

who comes and goes at the Government-General

every day, riding on an American's coattails?

A pawn ticket?

Looks like I'm an unwelcome guest.

But since I'm already here,

you may as well keep acting.

Then wouldn't it be better to get rid of her?

Who are you people?

- Do you believe people can change? - I think they can.

Nice to meet you,

Ms. Lee Ga-kyung.
