100 DAYS OF DECEPTION

Can you trust me?

No matter what I do or say?

You don't have to answer me right now.

But…

for now…

I just want you to trust me.

Lee Ga-kyung.

Yes?

I mean…

I wasn't answering you.

Lee Ga-kyung suits you…

much better than Keum Seo-hee.

Lee Ga-kyung.

May I call you that?

I do want an answer to that now.

Yes…

Interpreter Kim Tae-ung.

The inspector general invited you to dinner at his residence?

That's right.

So-ran.

I really don't think it's a good idea to go.

There's no way he'd invite us over just for a pleasant evening.

Exactly.

The inspector general seemed smarter than that.

Does he think you'll come running just because he asked?

We weren't born yesterday.

Are you thinking of going?

You're not, right?

You can't.

This has to be a trap.

He already knows the Gugukdan set off the bomb at the banquet.

Wouldn't it look more suspicious if we didn't go?

So-ran.

We can't even get a knife past security at the residence.

I'll come up with some kind of excuse.

Let's not take any chances this time.

Let's wait for the right time--

There may never be a right time.

Sato's already closing in on us.

We'll have to face it sooner or later,

and we're really running out of time.

Still, it's too dangerous without any weapons.

Then I'll break a glass and use that.

So-ran, we'll be in his house.

I can't risk losing you there.

In that case,

you should go.

But…

I have an idea.

Send a bomb to the residence through the pneumatic tube?

Yes.

Do you all remember this pneumatic tube thing?

The pneumatic tube system connects the Government-General and Keijo Post Office.

It also links the Government-General with both the governor-general's residence

and the inspector general's residence.

The pneumatic tube carriers, canisters that travel through the tubes,

are about this big, more than big enough to fit a bomb.

And we've got two bombs

right here, in the ladies' room.

It's right next to the pneumatic tube room.

The carriers take just two and a half minutes

to reach the residences from the Government-General.

I've seen the technical documents and interpreted for them.

Trust me, it takes two and a half minutes.

Two and a half minutes.

So we could get a bomb into both residences

in just two and a half minutes, past all that security?

The bombs are already in the Government-General.

The governor-general hasn't left his residence.

This is our chance to take out both men in one strike.

But you'll be in there too.

Can you escape in time?

I'll keep Sato in the study where the pneumatic tube is,

then slip away.

We have no more time to waste.

We need to do whatever we can.

Ms. Ga-kyung.

I mean,

-Ms. Seo-hee. -Yes.

Anything else we should know about the pneumatic tube system?

Before sending a carrier, the staff call the residence first

to let them know it's on its way.

A pneumatic tube carrier is coming

from the inspector general to the governor-general,

so please stand by.

Two and a half minutes later, it arrives at the residence.

The residence staff hand it over to the governor-general or inspector general.

Factoring in the time it'll take to reach the recipient,

we'd need a bomb with a four-minute timer.

Yes?

We need to send the carriers to both residences almost at the same time.

There's a chance that one of them could open the carrier

before the four minutes are up.

So we'll have to modify the bombs to explode the moment

the carriers are opened.

Is there any way I could get into the Government-General?

Security must be extremely tight right now.

Normally, the customer is supposed to pick it up on the first floor.

But "Toilet" makes me bring it inside.

And that's every day.

There's a way.

I know someone who really loves naengmyeon.

100 DAYS OF DECEPTION

EPISODE 12

Please make sure Sato Hideo,

the bastard who killed Songjeon,

is in the study with the inspector general.

Our targets are the governor-general and inspector general.

Let's focus on our targets for now

and leave the rest to fate.

Seo-hee.

You and Se-hwan

need to leave the Government-General the moment you send the bombs.

Lay low somewhere safe for a while.

We'll move again when things settle down.

I guess tomorrow will be my last day

working at the Government-General.

He can't go to the residence today.

But he can't stay here either.

Then…

this might be the last time I ever see him.

Do you have a headache?

No.

Your face says

you're having a rough day.

I feel like…

English is starting to stress me out today.

So,

I'm going to head out first.

What?

You scared me.

What is it?

Well…

Are you leaving for the day?

Are you heading to the residence, then?

No, I'm on my way to see Mr. Kim.

Why are you meeting him?

What do you mean, why?

I need to talk to him about Gyodang-ri.

I was going to arrange a meeting with him to discuss what happened yesterday.

When I got home,

he'd already invited me to dinner today.

I guess you'll be getting home late, then.

What a relief.

Sorry? What was that?

It's nothing.

I know we've got a lot of work to do. Sorry for taking off early.

You should call it a day early.

We can finish the rest together tomorrow.

All right, I'm off.

Kim Tae-ung!

What?

Mr. Kim.

You're just going to call me by my name now?

Then I'll call you by your name too.

Lee Ga-kyung.

What is it?

Do you have something to say to me?

Take care.

I'll see you when you get back.

Thanks.

I'll see you tomorrow, then.

Oh, right.

I've got a little sister. Her name is Hanako.

Your little sister?

Yes, you met her briefly at Gyeongseong Station.

It was the day someone stole my wallet.

Hey, hold on.

You mean that girl from…

Yes.

She's my Joseon mother's biological daughter.

Hanako…

can't walk either.

I'm sorry. I was so insensitive back then.

No, it's okay.

Maybe next time…

we could all get together.

I feel bad that Hanako's stuck at home all the time.

And somehow,

you two have something in common.

You should meet her sometime.

I'm waiting for your answer,

Ms. Lee Ga-kyung.

Sure.

I'm meeting him at Myeongwolgwan, right around the corner.

I'm going to be late. See you tomorrow.

He's gone.

Will there be a next time?

You're all set.

So-ran.

There's only one thing you need to think about.

Your safety.

No matter what happens tonight,

you're coming back to this house safe and sound.

Shall we go?

The guests are coming over for dinner with Father.

So why are you cleaning the study?

Because the guests might want to look around the study.

The study?

What's there to see in the study?

There's nothing but books.

They might want to smoke in here.

Smoke?

Hideo can't handle being around so much cigarette smoke.

So, who's coming over?

Goodness, you're asking a lot of questions today.

I have no idea either.

Things are chaotic now. Why are we having guests over?

And he told me at the last minute.

I said, who's coming over?

Your guess is as good as mine.

What did you say?

Speak in a language I can understand.

Yanagi!

Yanagi!

Yanagi!

Our comrades are putting their lives on the line again today.

And here I am, going off to Hwawol

to enjoy some Japanese food just because my dad insists.

What a joke.

I'm absolutely pathetic.

Not every member of our group takes part in every operation.

We need to consider our next move.

Don't be so hard on yourself.

Will I ever get the chance

to hold a gun or a knife

instead of a purse or a hand mirror?

Guns and knives aren't the only weapons.

What's supposed to be my weapon?

That my father's the worst pro-Japanese traitor in Joseon?

I hear she's leaving for Shanghai after this operation.

Shanghai…

I'm jealous.

Myung-nam.

You're supposed to be a quiet and demure young lady.

Don't forget to act like one.

What are you talking about?

Aren't you getting in?

Especially around your fiancé, keep your voice down

and your temper in check.

Do you understand?

What? My fiancé?

I must say, your future father-in-law has quite a sense of humor.

Anyway, go there and make sure you smile a lot today.

All right.

Young-bok, get moving.

What's going on?

My father and the inspector general

plotted to trick me into meeting Sato Hideo?

Yes.

That's great.

What's great about that?

No way. I'm not going.

Hold on.

So Sato Hideo won't be at his residence.

He's coming to Hwawol instead?

Let's take a gun with us.

Welcome, Mr. Yoo.

Mrs. Yoo.

How have you been?

Thanks for coming on such short notice.

I've been meaning to have you two over to my residence.

I'm sorry it took so long.

Not at all. We're grateful for your kind invitation.

This is my daughter, Hanako.

Hanako.

It's lovely to meet you, Miss Hanako.

Hello.

What a lovely young lady.

Yanagi.

We'll get you to your room now.

We have company, so don't wander around.

Please, right this way.

Mr. Hideo doesn't seem to be here.

Hideo had a prior engagement, so he couldn't make it today.

This way, please.

Inspector General.

Even from the foyer, the residence is as beautiful as I'd heard.

Would you mind showing us around the place before dinner?

That's a great idea.

But

I've prepared a rather special drink for this occasion.

Let's start with dinner.

It's a real honor. In fact…

though I'm just a humble reporter, I happen to be quite an avid reader.

I heard you had quite a collection of books.

I was so curious about your study that I could hardly sleep last night.

Didn't I just tell you?

Sorry?

I said I had something prepared.

Very well.

I've been so looking forward to having dinner with you both.

I'd hate to see the food get cold.

So let's enjoy dinner first and look around the residence afterward.

OUT OF ORDER

You're all set.

Thank you very much.

Hey, yobo.

Are you from Gyeongdo Noodle House? I've never seen you before.

Our regular deliveryman

was hit by a car and got hurt.

Gyeongdo Noodle House? That's for Mr. Mitarai in the pneumatic tube room.

Let him in.

Thank you.

LADIES' ROOM

OUT OF ORDER

I was wondering what kind of naengmyeon he kept ordering.

Gyeongdo Noodle House?

Why do these Japanese guys have such weird taste buds?

Right? I'm not a fan of this place either.

Who else likes Gyeongdo Noodle House?

There's someone.

A Japanese guy with bad taste in food.

He was always going on and on about Gyeongdo Noodle House's naengmyeon.

He even told me to get a job there so he could get a discount.

Unbelievable.

When it comes to naengmyeon, nothing beats

-Hanseong Cold… -Hanseong Cold Noodles.

Finally, someone with good taste.

I hope you enjoy the food.

You're too kind.

People like us don't get to visit a place like this every day.

Truth be told, I don't host dinners very often.

My wife was the one who normally arranged these gatherings.

I heard your wife passed away last year.

Accept my belated condolences.

I appreciate that.

She was frail for most of her life.

Hanako's from my previous marriage.

I had a Joseon wife, but she died in childbirth.

Anyway, Mr. Yoo.

How are things going for you in Joseon?

I hear you've been traveling all over Joseon for your reporting.

I've been staying in Gyeongseong for the most part lately.

I see.

Back when I was a soldier, I traveled all over Joseon myself.

Hamgyong-do,

Gangwon-do, Jeolla-do, and Gyeongsang-do.

It was fun trying the specialties of each region.

Seeing all these local specialties from Joseon in one place makes me feel…

What's that word in the Joseon language again?

Nostalgic.

It makes me feel nostalgic.

These bamboo shoots are from Jeolla-do.

They're in season right now.

Do you like bamboo shoots, Mrs. Yoo?

Yes.

I heard bamboo shoots are common in Chinese cuisine.

Where is your hometown?

I'm from Shanghai.

Shanghai.

It's a fine city.

You're probably still not very familiar with Joseon cuisine, are you?

She's not used to Joseon food yet.

I can imagine.

Then this should be quite an experience for you.

Joseon has plenty of interesting dishes.

I'll give you an example.

Do you know a dish called chutang tofu soup?

It's also called chutang,

or chueo tofu.

It's a dish made by boiling loaches.

The fascinating thing about this dish is how it's made.

First, you put the loaches in cold water

with the tofu, then slowly turn up the heat.

Do you know what the loaches do when the water gets hot?

To avoid the boiling water, they wriggle their way into the tofu.

They believe they can hold out inside the tofu.

But once the water boils, the tofu heats up too, doesn't it?

So the loaches end up being cooked inside the tofu.

I have

never quite understood those loaches.

The water is boiling,

so how could they think they'd survive by hiding inside the tofu?

Do you get it, Mrs. Yoo?

Well, it does make for a delicacy.

I suppose we don't really need to know what the loaches think.

This rice cake

is made with rice from a village in Gyeonggi-do.

The place was famous for its fertile land.

I believe it was called Kyeam-ri.

It was a place with vast stretches of farmland.

There was a bit of trouble there a long time ago.

I see. What about the wild spring greens--

There was a man in that village.

That man

never revealed his comrades' names, even until the very end.

He wouldn't talk

even when we pointed a gun at his daughter

right in front of him.

Shoot.

No!

He chose his convictions over his own child.

I have to admit, I was quite impressed.

I almost forgot the wine.

This one's from 1919.

Thirteen years.

It's aged quite a bit.

A fine wine is best

when you've let it age.

But

what happened next is even more interesting.

Only after his daughter died did he finally give up his comrades' names.

Of course, it was too late.

Why would he do that?

He kept his mouth shut while his daughter was alive,

but finally spoke after she died.

He's like those loaches, wouldn't you say?

He thought he could protect his daughter

if he held out and stayed true to his beliefs.

But in the end,

he failed to protect his daughter or stay true to his beliefs.

It's all so pointless, isn't it?

So the carrier should reach Sato's study

sometime between 6:30 p.m. and 6:40 p.m.

Right.

I'll stall him and make sure he's in the study until then.

His wife

was there too.

Mrs. Yoo.

How do you think that woman went on living after that?

Sir, you have a phone call.

There are two possibilities.

She either

kept her daughter in her heart and lived quietly,

or…

lived for the day she could get revenge.

If she decided to get revenge,

well,

what do you think would happen?

Inspector General.

It's an old Chinese proverb.

In the Joseon language,

cheonmanghoehoe, soibullu.

THOSE WHO DO WRONG CAN'T ESCAPE HEAVEN'S WRATH

Heaven's net may look wide and full of holes,

yet it lets nothing through.

I see your Joseon language has improved quite a bit.

Yes.

It's a very wise saying.

It certainly is.

In other words,

justice will prevail,

so there's no need to take matters into our own hands, is there?

If you forget your place and get involved,

you may end up getting caught in Heaven's net.

Come in.

I'm sorry to interrupt.

What is it?

A pneumatic tube carrier has arrived from the Government-General.

Leave it there.

Yes, sir.

Would you mind opening it for me?

I can't get this wine open.

I'd hate to break it by opening it myself.

Allow me to open the wine bottle.

Very well, then.

Can't you get it open?

No, it's fine.

There we go.

I have one more little surprise

for both of you.

I think Keum Seo-hee

is a spy.

This means Keum Seo-hee

is under arrest.

COMPLETE

There was a man named Keum Seok-jung.

It was the foolish father from Kyeam-ri that I just mentioned.

He got caught recently after trying to kill me.

As it happens, his daughter's name

was Keum Seo-hee.

Do you want us to arrest Keum Seo-hee tonight?

But we don't have proof--

The name Keum Seo-hee

is proof.

Keum Seo-hee.

Keum Seok-jung's wife named her after the daughter she'd lost.

That means they have a special bond.

If a woman who'd already lost a child

found another girl with the same name in danger,

could she possibly stay calm?

When Interpreter Trainee Keum Seo-hee leaves for the day,

don't let her leave the building.

Yes, sir.

Hello.

RECORDS ROOM

How may I help you?

Keum Seo-hee must be closely connected to Keum Seok-jung and his circle.

That's why I had Keum Seo-hee arrested

and brought directly here.

We'll find out once we question her.

She should be on her way here.

She was your live-in maid.

I guess she deceived you both.

Wouldn't it be best to confront her in person?

MYEONGWOLGWAN

Once we hear from the inspector general,

-arrest him right away. -Yes, sir.

HWAWOL

In hindsight,

there were plenty of suspicious things about her from day one.

Most Joseon people would lower their heads just passing the Government-General.

Yet she had the nerve to work there

and come and go as if she owned the place.

And she certainly knew how to do her job.

You saw her at the banquet.

I bet she was sharp when she served you as your maid.

What was she like?

I'm afraid there's been a misunderstanding.

Seo-hee is just--

She had the nerve to join the Government-General as a spy.

She's quite a bold little thing.

I have to admire her nerve.

It's a shame she threw her life away for such a foolish cause.

Once we take her into custody,

we'll have to search your home, so I hope you'll understand.

There's no need to be concerned.

Neither of you is involved in this matter, are you?

Or am I wrong?

Are you involved?

The chief of police is here, sir.

Let him in.

Inspector General.

How could this be?

20 MINUTES AGO

ENGLISH TRANSLATION UNIT

So she's still here?

Yes.

She should be in the Foreign Affairs Division.

Why are we supposed to arrest her?

I'm not really sure.

There you are. Let's hurry.

Okay.

Your naengmyeon is here.

Come in.

Yes, sir!

The bombs. I need to get the bombs out.

Hello there.

Ms. Keum.

That looked perfect.

Why are you wiping it off?

I don't like it.

It looks perfect now!

-It really does! -No.

Wearing lipstick is all about the heart.

If your heart isn't right,

then your lips are a lie.

Is that so?

Hey, you.

I've never seen you before.

Are you the new yobo?

Sorry?

"Sorry?"

You ignorant fool.

You can't even understand basic Japanese.

You Josenjings are hopeless.

No matter how much we Japanese teach you, you're still useless.

You imbecile.

Do you understand?

You don't even know what I'm saying. You just stand there smiling.

What a pathetic moron.

Get out of here!

Come back when I call you.

Yes, sir.

What a complete moron.

This is so good!

Mr. Sato.

What brings you back?

I'd like to call someone from the staff.

Could you pass this along for me?

I'm running late for dinner.

Sure, I'll take it.

Who should I deliver it to?

No, actually, I'll deliver it myself.

Yes, sir.

Keum Seo-hee isn't in there!

Maybe she caught on and ran away.

Find her! Now!

Yes, sir!

We've made sure she can't leave the building.

Oh, look.

We're wearing similar outfits.

Mine is from Ginza Boutique.

Where did you get yours?

That's not important right now.

Yes, you're right!

Clothes are important.

Where did you get yours?

You didn't have it made in Jongno, did you?

Clothes made by Josenjings look a little cheap to me.

Oh, no offense.

No, it's fine.

Listen, Ms. Yamada.

You know, about Interpreter Sato.

Yes? What about him?

About his engagement…

The truth is…

it's an arranged marriage without love.

Because…

deep in his heart,

he's always loved

you, Ms. Yamada.

Oh my.

Actually,

Mr. Sato is in the Records Room at the moment.

Records Room?

Yes, because of work.

He's there alone.

What if

you went to the Records Room right now?

You might,

by pure coincidence…

-Run into each other. -Yes, exactly!

Do you see what I mean?

Romance in popular fiction always starts in a library.

Imagine you and Mr. Sato alone in the Records Room.

Then a pile of books comes tumbling off the shelves.

My goodness!

That's all I'll say!

What do I do?

Go on, hurry!

Wait, what do I do?

It's flawless!

Come on, off you go.

Do my lips look okay?

They look fine. Now go see him.

OUT OF ORDER

When the time comes, go in first and send it.

I need to take care of something.

Okay.

Hello.

YAMADA HANAKO

I'm here to find some records.

Of course.

KEUM SEO-HEE

When the books

come tumbling down…

Mr. Sato

would protect me like this, wouldn't he?

And then…

What do I do?

It's embarrassing with the lights this bright.

Come on, please come this way.

Can I help you?

Mr. Hideo?

I'm so sorry.

Send this to the inspector general's residence.

Yes, sir.

Operator, put me through to the inspector general's residence.

Hello?

This is the Government-General's pneumatic tube room.

We're sending a pneumatic tube carrier to the residence.

Understood.

INSPECTOR GENERAL

Se-hwan.

Please make it out in one piece.

That delivery boy went in a while ago.

What's taking him so long?

Yobo! Come collect the bowl!

Why are you so slow?

Get the bowl out of here!

Josenjings are always so slow.

It's me.

-Hello, Mr. Sato. -Hello.

-Excuse me. -Yes?

You're the guard posted at the side gate, aren't you?

Is something going on?

You were looking for someone.

The naengmyeon delivery boy went to the pneumatic tube room

and hasn't come out, so I'm looking for him.

I wanted to make sure everything was okay.

Then I'll go see what's going on.

You shouldn't leave your post.

-But-- -It's all right.

I just remembered I needed to go to the pneumatic tube room anyway.

I'll check on him while I'm there.

Thank you very much, Mr. Sato.

Never let Keum Seo-hee leave the building.

Search every inch of the building!

We have to find her before the chief of police gets here!

-Yes, sir! -Yes, sir!

Just wait until I catch you.

You sneaky little rat.

What's taking him so long?

He doesn't seem like the type to be late.

Something feels off.

Take me to the Government-General.

Something must be going on there.

We're all set.

Please connect me to the governor-general's residence.

Hello?

Hello?

This is the Government-General's pneumatic tube room.

We're sending a pneumatic tube carrier to the governor-general.

Make sure he receives it now.

Sorry?

It can't be delivered to His Excellency

for another hour or so.

He's taking a bath right now.

He's taking a bath?

Okay, understood.

What do we do?

Let's send it to the inspector general's residence first.

Operator, please put me through to the inspector general's residence.

No one's answering.

No one's answering at the residence.

Could you try one more time?

Mr. Mitarai.

Mr. Mitarai.

Are you there?

Ms. Keum. It's me.

You're in there, aren't you?

Come out right now.

The police are looking everywhere to arrest you.

You have to run now.

Is that Sato Hideo outside?

Surely you're not falling for that?

He's trying to arrest us.

Let's send it anyway.

What?

INSPECTOR GENERAL

I know you're in there.

Please open the door.

You have to trust me.

Lee Ga-kyung!

Get a hold of yourself.

Put me through to the inspector general's residence.

I'm sorry, sir!

There must have been some mistake!

I'll go get her myself immediately!

Yanagi.

Yanagi!

Hello?

Hello?

What's wrong?

A little girl answered.

I think she's Sato's daughter.

What?

I've got a little sister. Her name is Hanako.

Hello?

Hello?

Is this Hanako?

What?

How do you know my name?

I'm a friend of your brother Hideo's.

Hanako, are you in the study right now?

Yes. Why?

Could you put your father on the phone?

I have an urgent matter to discuss.

I can't.

He's having dinner with guests right now.

Okay, Hanako.

Please get out of there right now.

Wait, who are you?

Are you…

my brother's girlfriend?

Well…

Yes, I am.

So come on, get out of there.

You're lying.

My brother doesn't have a girlfriend!

Come on out.

You need to run!

Hanako.

Wait.

Something's arrived.

Don't open that! Leave the room now!

Why are you speaking to me informally?

That thing is dangerous!

Never, ever touch that.

Get out of the study right now!

Is it dangerous?

How come?

This came for my father.

Please!

You need to get out of there!

Just leave it where it is!

Here's white rice

and chutang tofu soup.

Who was that on the phone?

Did someone call?

Hanako!

I'm begging you.

Who are you, really?

Are you really Hideo's girlfriend?

No, that's not important right now. Just hurry…

Lee Ga-kyung!

What are you doing?

Lee Ga-kyung!

Mr. Sato.

You're not Hideo's girlfriend, are you?

Hello?

Hello?

Hanako.

Hanako!

Hanako.

Hideo?

Hanako.

Listen to me carefully.

You have to get out of the study now. Okay?

Okay, I will.

By the way, Hideo.

-That lady just now. -Hanako.

-Is she really your girlfriend? -Hanako.

-She isn't, right? -Get out!

-Hanako! -Hanako.

Hanako!

Who are you?

So-ran.

Hanako.

Hanako. Hanako?

Hanako.

Hello?

Hana… Hanako?

Hanako!

100 DAYS OF DECEPTION

Philip!

Will you keep your mouth shut like your husband did

even if I shoot her dead?

Go ask them

about my dead Joseon wife.

You have the same eyes.

Hideo.

What's making you so confused?

Independence for Korea!

Hideo!
