100 DAYS OF DECEPTION
- [thunder rumbling]
- [rain pattering]
[pensive music playing]
[Ga-kyung] Who?
I don't know anyone by that name.
[Philip] "Keum Seo-hee."
Don't you know
what that name means to So-ran?
Her husband,
the man you met today,
refused to turn in his comrades.
That's why Sato killed his daughter.
Right in front of So-ran's eyes.
[thunderclap]
Even if our cause
doesn't make sense to you,
think about So-ran.
Can't you understand her goal?
I know you think it's crazy.
But if one lost
their beloved child overnight,
anyone would have done the same.
Please.
Try to understand So-ran.
- [door opens]
- [music fades]
- [door closes]
- [serious music builds]
Out of the way.
Traitors are dealt with. Remember?
We need to bring her back.
Why would we do that?
We need to tie up loose ends.
She did her job as a spy properly.
Why should we kill her?
We're the ones who didn't trust her.
[loudly] She just said she's out.
If she goes running her mouth
She has no intention of betraying us.
[So-ran exhales]
She said she's scared
of getting caught and killed.
That means betraying us to save herself
isn't even on her mind.
She's terrified of dying
if her cover is blown.
But even in that situation, turning on us
isn't an option for her. Don't you get it?
She's the spy we sent to kill Sato.
We shouldn't be trying to kill her
right now.
We should be trying to convince her
to come back.
[music fades]
Just this once.
I won't try to persuade her again.
[breathing heavily]
[rain pattering]
- [door opens]
- [Hanako in Japanese] Hideo.
[Yanagi] Hanako?
Hanako.
- Hanako.
- [Hanako] Hideo.
[Yanagi] Hanako.
Hideo must be tired. He needs some rest
[Hanako] Let go!
Hideo.
I wrote all the capital letters.
Look.
Hanako, I'm sorry.
I'm a bit tired today.
How about next time?
[Hanako] Next time? When?
You always come home late.
Look. I memorized all the capital letters.
Hanako.
Maybe tomorrow. I promise I'll look.
[Hanako, angrily] You're a liar!
You always come late,
and you always say, "Maybe tomorrow."
You're not going to keep your promise!
[loudly] I need some space today, okay?
[breathes heavily]
I hate you!
[huffs]
[in Korean] Don't worry about Hanako.
I'll go check on her.
Good night.
[Fukuda grunts]
[in Japanese] You insolent Josenjing!
- [breathes heavily]
- [knock on door]
[in Korean] Come in.
[in Japanese] Father.
[door closes]
[in Korean] Well done.
Sorry?
What do you mean?
Even if you're slapped,
a true Japanese must show no emotion.
[unsettling music builds]
Sit upright, Hideo.
Japanese people don't sit like that.
From now on,
never let your thoughts or feelings
show on your face.
That's what makes you Japanese
and my son.
Do you understand, Hideo?
Answer me.
Yes, Father.
[in Japanese] Father.
[Shinichi in Korean] Well done.
Thank you.
You didn't think Fukuda
would get much out of questioning him,
did you?
No.
Interpreter trainee Keum Seo-hee
was called in
and didn't return for seven hours.
If it'd gone well,
it wouldn't have taken that long.
[Shinichi] Mmm.
You have a point.
Keum Seo-hee.
Yes?
Did you make sure she won't speak?
If Yoo Philip writes an article,
it'll be a problem.
Okay.
She's going to rely on you a lot.
Even if she's dating an American reporter,
she's one of the few women
in the Government-General
and a Joseon person at that.
I don't really follow…
I assume everything
she sees, hears, and thinks
is passed on to him.
Get her to rely on you
and trust you.
But keep this in mind.
She needs to trust you,
but you must never trust her.
Joseon people are an untrustworthy bunch.
And Joseon women
are bound to betray us.
That's exactly what your mother did.
She promised to spend her life with me,
only to leave me.
[tense music playing]
[door closes]
[sighs in relief]
[exhales]
[tense music swells]
[Philip] I know you think it's crazy.
But if one lost
their beloved child overnight,
anyone would have done the same.
[mumbles] Anyone…
Her damn mother
dumped her own kid
to sleep around with a Jap.
[gasps]
- A Jap?
- With a Jap…
[Ga-kyung] When my mom left me,
I resented her a lot, naturally.
But as time went on,
I started telling myself…
That my mom
had just found someone she loved more
and that she loved me too.
[somber music playing]
So…
I was just a little unlucky,
I wasn't a pitiful kid.
That's what I've believed all this time.
But seeing you,
I find myself a little jealous of Seo-hee.
[sniffling]
[somber music turns hopeful]
Because she has a mom
willing to risk her life
for her daughter.
[music fades]
[gentle music builds]
Did you sleep well?
Assassinating the inspector general.
How long will you need?
If you move quickly.
A month.
[tense music playing]
All right, one month.
A month. That's it.
After one month,
send me to America, no matter what.
Okay.
I promise.
Thank you.
Just one month. Don't forget.
[tense music turns dramatic]
100 DAYS OF DECEPTION
JONGNO POLICE STATION.
EPISODE 6
[music swells, fades]
[prisoner moaning]
- [thuds]
- [policeman 1 in Japanese] Zip it!
[policeman 2] Still alive?
[policeman 1] They're like cockroaches.
[policeman 2 snickers]
[Byeong-sun in Korean]
I looked into the thing you asked about.
I managed to get in touch
with the Gugukdan.
It turns out the Gugukdan
was planning to kill Sato
that very day we went
to the American reporter's house.
I'm not sure if the American reporter
was part of the Gugukdan,
but I did find out one thing.
They've got a female sniper
in their group.
They say she's as good as Nam Ja-hyeon.
But I don't know her name or any details.
[sighs]
[gun cocks]
[Shinichi] Ah…
Did you know your fellow members
were killed in Dongsung-dong?
[slow tense music playing]
[music fades]
[Philip] You're all set.
[So-ran] Thank you.
[Philip] So, about that man.
Seo-hee's father.
I'll find a way.
Find a way for what?
He tried to assassinate the inspector
general of the Government-General.
We know how the trial will end.
Even if he's lucky enough
to avoid execution,
how long can he hold out
with those injuries?
Even perfectly healthy men
come out of that prison in body bags.
[light thud]
We don't have time to waste.
We have to act now
to keep them from torturing him.
I'll go talk to Sato.
- Once I meet him
- Once you do,
what are you planning to do?
I'll tell him I'm interested
in the Kyeam-ri incident.
I could ask to speak
with one of the prisoners.
Once that happens, even Sato
will have to think twice before acting.
What Sato wants to hide the most
is the Kyeam-ri massacre
being brought back into the spotlight.
The mastermind
of the Kyeam-ri massacre, Sato,
no, Ishikawa,
leveraged his in-laws' connections
to become the inspector general.
He even took his wife's family name, Sato,
to claw his way up to the top.
So, with the world's eyes
on Japan right now because of Manchukuo,
if Sato thinks I might publish
the Kyeam-ri story
And then what?
What difference will it make?
If the foreign press picks it up
with Manchukuo at stake,
Sato might have to step down
as inspector general.
But even if that happens,
is that what we're fighting for?
Is that enough?
If I kill Sato, I can die with no regrets.
But remember,
that's when your fight begins.
You pledged to expose the truth
about Japan's and Sato's atrocities
under your name
and make sure the whole world sees it.
So until then,
you have to maintain good terms
with the Government-General
as an American journalist.
[pensive music playing]
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.
He'll probably keep quiet,
but you never know.
So leave that to fate
and don't do anything.
Even if he dies in prison,
there's nothing we can do.
But, So-ran, he's your husband.
No.
You are my husband.
[pensive music continues playing]
SATO HIDEO
KEUM SEO-HEE
[So-ran] Win Sato Hideo's heart.
[music fades]
Get him on your side.
The inspector general
keeps people at arm's length.
But Sato Hideo is one of the few people
close to him.
All right.
[So-ran] But remember.
Never let yourself have personal feelings.
[Ga-kyung] Don't worry.
That's never going to happen.
Hello…
[train horn honking]
[train steam hissing]
[train brakes screeching]
[Shinichi] Get her to rely on you
and trust you.
But keep this in mind.
She needs to trust you,
but you must never trust her.
[in English] Mr. Laurent!
Welcome to Keijo.
I'm Sato Hideo
of the Government-General of Joseon.
Hello.
Did you have a good trip?
Can't you tell by looking at me?
[in Korean] There's nothing special.
[in English] "Pneumatic"
tube
"system."
[in Korean] What is that?
[knock on door]
You're here? [Chuckles softly]
[Ga-kyung]
"The inspector general's secretary."
"Yamada Hanako."
"The niece of the Internal Affairs
Bureau director."
"She can't speak the Joseon language."
"Sloppy with work."
"A good kid at heart."
[scoffs]
"She seems to have a crush on Sato Hideo."
Eh?
Wait, why on earth?
[comical music playing]
[in Japanese] Hello.
Ms. Yamada,
the inspector general's secretary?
Yes.
- Is Mr. Sato in?
- [Ga-kyung] Ah…
He hasn't come in yet.
Not yet?
When will he be in?
[chuckles awkwardly] Well, I'm not sure.
Should I tell him you stopped by?
No.
Just give him this.
Ah. We received a lot of cookies
at the Inspector General's Office.
Ah…
Please give these to Mr. Sato.
Sure. I'll make sure he gets them.
Thank you.
- [scoffs]
- [music stops]
[whispers, in Korean] Just one.
[inhales]
[exclaims, gasps]
[exclaiming softly]
Mmm.
LADIES' ROOM
[Laurent in English]
I absolutely cannot put up with this.
[Hideo in Japanese]
He says he can't put up with this.
NO ENTRY
[Shinichi] Go ahead.
[in English]
If you speak, I'll translate for you.
These men work too slowly.
At this rate,
we will never meet the deadline.
The foreman says
at least one worker
doesn't show up every day
because he's sick.
[angrily] Now how ridiculous is that?
[in Japanese] Translate it.
The Joseon workers
are being worked too hard,
and they're falling ill one after another.
He says pushing them too hard
to meet the deadline
will backfire on us.
So he wants their working hours reduced
and enough time for rest.
How many hours a day are they working?
Fourteen hours. It's been three months
straight without a day off.
Cut their hours by an hour
every other day.
But…
If they miss the deadline,
they'll be held accountable.
Got it.
[in English]
We will manage workers better.
Please do not worry.
Thank you.
[in Japanese] Well then.
Let's go.
[car door opens, closes]
[in Korean] Interpreter Sato.
Yes, sir.
Did you interpret that correctly today?
What makes you think I didn't?
All right, I trust you.
Ah.
Have the workers work
an hour longer every day.
Father.
Why should we go easy on them?
They must meet the deadline.
That's an order,
Interpreter Sato.
[sighs]
INTERPRETER SATO HIDEO
- [indistinct conversation in distance]
- [Ga-kyung gasps]
Oh, you're here?
[door closes]
Ah. I was doing some cleaning.
You weren't coming,
and I had nothing else to do.
So I figured I might as well clean.
Uh, by the way, where have you been?
I was worried
since you didn't come in without a word.
[exclaims] Look at all this dust.
[chuckles softly]
If I don't wipe it down,
we'll end up breathing all of it in.
[Ga-kyung shuddering, whimpering]
Ms. Keum.
Yes?
Yesterday was hard on you, wasn't it?
Sorry?
You won't be called in
for anything like that again.
Oh!
It's okay. I wouldn't mind doing it again.
What?
[chuckling] Ah. When I got home
and thought about it,
uh, I realized I was angry at him.
I nearly died because of him too.
I was startled, but that was because
I faced the man who tried to kill me.
I'm okay now.
Just a little tired.
If I get called up
for another interrogation,
I want to do a better job.
I didn't mention anything to Philip,
as you asked,
so don't worry.
Oh, one more thing.
You haven't found
that Jongno Pawnshop yet, have you?
I'll help you find it.
I know Jongno like the back of my hand.
You can count on me.
I'll help you. [Chuckles softly]
No thanks.
What?
I don't need your help.
I can take care of my own business.
Just give me the pawn ticket you stole.
I've played along with your game
long enough now.
Now bring me my pawn ticket.
- [knock on door]
- [in Japanese] Come in.
[policeman] Excuse me.
The chief of police sent me to bring
Ms. Keum Seo-hee to Jongno Police Station.
It's for the interrogation
of the same person from yesterday.
Eh?
[Hideo] Good for you.
Have a nice time.
You said you wanted to do better
next time.
[policeman] Well, actually…
He told me to bring
Interpreter Sato along as well.
[mysterious music plays]
- [music stops]
- [Hideo] Chief.
I thought we'd agreed
that the Foreign Affairs Division
would no longer provide interpreters
for interrogations.
We tried another interpreter,
but he kept asking for Keum Seo-hee.
What else could I do?
Did you two hit it off yesterday
while I wasn't looking?
That is completely inappropriate, Chief.
[Fukuda] Otherwise,
why would he be asking for Keum Seo-hee?
We already have
an interpreter at the station.
So why ask for her?
You asked for Ms. Keum yourself
yesterday as well,
when there's an interpreter here.
Why bother?
We'll just have to find out
why he specifically requested
interpreter trainee Keum Seo-hee.
Fair enough.
The inspector general heard about this
and ordered Interpreter Sato to sit in
to ensure the interrogation goes smoothly.
I'm truly touched
by his thoughtfulness.
[Hideo scoffs]
[hesitates, in Korean] My goodness.
Tell me about it.
Mr. Sato kindly joined me today.
I think I'll be able to do
a better job interpreting.
Interpreter Sato Hideo
speaks Japanese, English,
and the Joseon language, so…
[in Japanese] I'm sorry.
I accidentally used
the Joseon language in front of you.
I just said Interpreter Sato Hideo
can speak Japanese, English,
and the Joseon language.
Of course. He's an interpreter, after all.
Yes, that's right.
Since Interpreter Sato Hideo
speaks the Joseon language fluently,
I'll need to be extra careful
with my interpretation.
He'll catch any mistakes right away.
[ominous music playing]
Let's begin.
Yes, sir.
[Hideo] No, I'll observe from the back.
[Fukuda] Your name?
[in Korean] What's your name?
[in Japanese] Let me ask again.
What's your name?
[in Korean] He's asking you again.
What's your name?
[in Japanese] I granted your request,
so shouldn't you cooperate?
[Ga-kyung in Korean]
I brought your interpreter.
- [in Japanese] What's your name?
- [in Korean] Answer him.
What's your name?
[in Japanese] E…
Go on.
Tell me, what's your name?
[mumbles] Eat…
Shit.
[yells] You son of a bitch!
[scoffs]
[chuckles softly]
Typical Josenjing.
You just run that filthy mouth of yours.
You lot are all the same, Josenjing.
You can try to hide what's inside,
but you stink in the end.
It always gives you away, Josenjings.
[ominous music continues playing]
[policeman] Chief, we brought her here.
[Fukuda] Oh yeah?
- Go ahead.
- [policeman] Yes, sir.
[music fades]
Na Byeong-sun, you have a visitor.
[coughs, gasps]
[woman whimpering]
[woman screaming, sobbing]
[tense music playing]
[woman gasps]
[shudders]
[gasps, exclaims]
[sobbing]
[in Korean] Honey. [Shudders]
[voice shaking] Honey.
[exclaims] Honey!
[screams]
[in Japanese] Forgive us.
[hysterically] Please forgive us!
[in Korean] Honey. [Wails]
Honey.
[in Japanese] Please forgive us.
[sobbing]
[in Korean] Honey!
[woman crying in distance]
[tense music turns gentle]
[music fades]
[in Korean] Young-bok.
Why are you up?
You need to stay in bed.
[Young-bok] I'm fine.
I'll go to my room now.
No, don't worry.
My dad has no idea.
The floor must be uncomfortable.
You can't sleep well on the floor.
[sighs heavily]
Fine.
Have some pine-nut porridge before you go.
No, thank you.
I'll just take this.
Well then.
Thank you.
[mumbles] You silly fool.
Do you think I couldn't sleep
because I was on the floor?
[sighs]
Oh my, the bandages.
[gasps]
[groans softly]
DON'T YOU DARE DIE
[melancholic music plays]
[music fades]
- Please, have some.
- [Seung-eok exclaims]
- Thanks.
- [door opens]
[door closes]
[chuckles]
How is the pneumatic tube project
coming along?
We're in the final stretch.
Ah. Thank you once again
for your generous donation.
[Seung-eok laughs]
It brings immense pride to my family.
It was my lifelong regret
that I couldn't contribute
even a single brick
when this building was being built.
- [Seung-eok laughs]
- [Shinichi giggles]
I'm sure you're here to see
how the tube installation is going.
You should have a look.
It's on the first floor.
Uh, wait, Inspector General.
Well…
[laughs, inhales]
Here. [Clears throat]
This is my daughter.
[clears throat]
[Fukuda in Japanese] I was hoping
I could have dinner at home tonight.
[clears throat] Chief.
May I try speaking with him
in our language?
We're both Joseon people,
so I'll see if I can convince him to talk.
What are you people plotting,
speaking your language behind my back?
That's right.
Why don't you two Joseon people
have some intimate conversation?
Should I get you a room?
[Hideo] Chief!
There's no need to worry.
Even if you don't trust me,
Interpreter Sato here
speaks the Joseon language,
and he's keeping an eye on us.
Fine, let's see what you can do.
[Ga-kyung] Thank you, sir.
[clears throat]
[in Korean] When you
snuck into the house as a deliveryman,
I was the live-in maid there.
You pointed a gun at me that day.
If you'd ever tried to kill my madam,
I would've found a way to stop you.
That is, if you'd tried to kill her.
[laughs awkwardly]
She's Chinese, so she doesn't speak
the Joseon language very well.
[Ga-kyung exclaims]
But she's really good to me.
She gave me the pretty name Keum Seo-hee.
Uh, I wonder
how she came up
with such a pretty name for me.
Anyway, I'm completely on her side.
[Fukuda in Japanese] Hey.
You're dragging this out.
What are you saying?
[gasps]
I'm sorry.
I was making small talk
to get him to open up.
[Shinichi in Korean] Oh.
Did you know your fellow members
were killed in Dongsung-dong?
Yesterday, in Dongsung-dong…
[Fukuda in Japanese] Hey.
Did he just say Dongsung-dong?
[ominous music playing]
He's finally talking.
What is he saying?
[Seok-jung in Korean]
What happened to the people who got away?
I heard they'd been shot.
[yells, in Japanese] What's he saying?
He's asking what happened to those
who were wounded and escaped
yesterday in Dongsung-dong.
I'll try to get him
to talk about something else.
Fine.
[in Korean]
You want to know if your comrades
who fled yesterday are safe, right?
[exclaims]
Of course. I understand how you feel.
Whenever something dangerous happens,
I immediately worry about my madam first.
When she saw me off this morning,
I just hoped she'd stay safe
and live a long life.
[chuckles softly]
- [knock on door]
- [door opens]
[in Japanese]
Chief, his accomplice gave us his name.
[Fukuda] Is that so?
How did you get it out of him?
We snapped his wife's leg.
[snickers softly]
[Fukuda continues clapping]
[in Japanese] You broke her leg?
[yells] You damn monsters!
[yells] What?
He speaks Japanese just fine!
[exclaims]
Oh well, it doesn't matter anymore.
[ominous music continues playing]
- So, what's his name?
- Yes.
His name is Keum Seok-jung.
He's from Kyeam-ri, Suwon.
[music swells]
[gunshots echoing]
Kyeam-ri?
[policeman 1] Yes, these two are childhood
friends from their hometown in Kyeam-ri.
[music intensifies]
That'll be all for today.
We haven't found anything out.
He seems fluent in Japanese.
We don't need an interpreter anymore.
Take these two home in my car.
[policeman] Yes, sir.
[Ga-kyung gasps]
[music fades]
[in Korean] Let's go, Ms. Keum.
Oh. Okay.
Keum Seo-hee.
[pensive music playing]
Is your madam
really that good to you?
- [in Japanese] Shut up!
- [in Korean] On your way home,
buy a castella cake.
[in Japanese] Shut up!
- [Seok-jung grunts]
- [Ga-kyung gasps]
- [policeman 2] You need to leave.
- [Seok-jung grunting]
[gasps]
[breath echoes]
- [music fades]
- [door closes]
[Seung-eok laughs]
My daughter is so bright and frugal.
[chuckles] Our butler has been
staying in bed because of a cold
and took three days off.
She made sure to remind me
to deduct three days from his paycheck.
[Seung-eok laughs]
- She's that kind of girl. [Chuckles]
- [knock on door]
[door opens]
[in Japanese]
Sir, the chief of police is on the phone.
He says it's urgent.
- [in Korean] Excuse me for a moment.
- [Seung-eok] Ah. Sure.
[door closes]
[in Japanese] What is it?
What?
[metal clanging in distance]
[man grunting echoes]
[man groaning in distance]
[in Korean] What did he say at the end?
I couldn't hear him.
You couldn't hear him?
I was going to ask what he said.
But I got kicked out.
Got it.
Uh, so…
What's going to happen to him now?
He'll be put on trial.
How many years is he going to get?
An attempted assassination alone
would get him at least ten years.
On top of that, he killed and wounded
several police officers.
He seriously injured my predecessor,
Mr. Suzuki,
and tried to kill you too.
He could very well be sentenced to death.
By the way,
isn't Keum Seo-hee your real name?
[chuckles nervously] What?
Then what's your real name?
[Ga-kyung] Ah…
Lee…
Gae-ttong.
- What?
- That's my real name.
Lee Gae-ttong. [Chuckles]
But now I'm Keum Seo-hee.
[chuckles softly]
Ah. Please, don't tell anyone
at the Government-General about my name.
Promise me. [Giggles]
And this is how you repay someone
who's been so good to you?
Mmm…
Repay?
You don't know anything
about my relationship with her.
I know more than enough.
You're having an affair
behind someone who's good to you.
You confessed your feelings to another man
behind your lover's back.
Who knows that better than I do?
[scoffs]
You seem really hung up on what I said.
Wouldn't it bother you
if you were in my shoes?
You say things like that to anyone,
so I suppose it means nothing
I don't say that to just anyone.
I only said it to you.
For the first time in my life.
So are you saying…
Mr. Yoo is seeing someone
who doesn't even like him?
Why are you so upset?
What?
Are you upset because a woman
who's cheating on someone likes you?
Is that why you're so disgusted?
Or maybe,
do you hate the thought of me
being with Mr. Yoo?
Should I stop seeing him?
If you tell me to, I will.
Will you believe
my feelings are genuine then?
[sighs]
If I stop seeing Mr. Yoo,
I'll be fired from the Government-General,
get thrown out on the street,
and might never see you again.
I'd hate not to see you again,
but if that's what you want, I'll do it.
Should I
end things with Mr. Yoo?
[gentle music playing]
If I do,
will you accept how I feel about you?
Should I break up with him?
Yes.
Sounds good.
While we're at it,
let's go see Mr. Yoo now.
Break up with him there.
Let's go. Lead the way.
Come on.
What's wrong?
Can't you do it?
See? You can't break up with him.
If you never meant it,
how could you talk
about breaking up that easily?
[chuckling] Well, of course,
saying you like someone is a game to you.
Watch what you say.
Me?
Weren't you the one
who spoke without thinking?
You don't mean a word you say, but you go,
"I like you" or "Should I break up?"
People like you make me sick.
People who throw words around…
With no intention of standing by them.
[music fades]
[gate closes]
[Fukuda] Welcome, sir!
Is he here?
[Fukuda] Yes, sir.
[in Korean] You must've waited
a long time to see me alone.
Are you happy now?
Keum Seok-jung.
Has it been 13 years?
Seeing you again,
I think I remember you.
Ishikawa Nobuyuki.
A mass murderer.
You killed my family, my friends,
and everyone in my village,
then burned them all.
You're a mass murderer.
Mass murder?
I was simply carrying out
my official duty.
I was putting down a riot.
A riot?
All we did was peacefully cry out
for our independence.
We demanded our stolen nation back.
And what did you do?
You locked us up.
[Seok-jung]
You shot us and burned us alive.
[somber music playing]
[gunshots echoing]
In retaliation for
the independence movement.
[Shinichi] Retaliation?
No.
Japan doesn't have time
to bother with retaliating
against uncivilized Joseon people.
I was cleared of all charges in court.
I guess you never saw the verdict.
Are you denying everything you ordered
with your own mouth?
Aren't you afraid of being haunted
by those who died that day?
Imagine how much your wife resented you.
Did it ever cross your mind
that it was all your fault?
Have you never thought about
how all those people who died that day
must resent you?
If you hadn't lured those naive people
into your little independence protest,
they'd all still be alive.
And you'd still be with your family,
enjoying a happy life together.
Happy?
Did you just say "happy"?
In a country that's been stolen from us?
Happy?
[chuckles]
[laughs]
[gunshot echoes]
[somber music turns tense]
[gunshot echoes]
Those were gunshots, right?
[Shinichi] They must've been
quite the loving couple,
dying side by side at the same time.
Ah…
You know, your friend from Kyeam-ri.
What was his name?
Na…
Na whatever-his-name-was?
- [Seok-jung yells] Ishikawa!
- [chain rattles]
Aren't you afraid of karma?
[angrily] Mark my words!
You will pay dearly for what you've done.
Don't worry.
I'm not going to kill you.
Your cause of death…
Will be an illness.
- [yells] Fukuda!
- [door opens]
- [music swells, stops]
- [gunshot echoes]
[gasping]
[Hideo] Ms. Keum.
Listen to me carefully.
Whatever you're assuming,
you've got it wrong.
He's going to face trial,
which will take months.
So…
[yells] Ms. Keum!
[echoing] Keum Seo-hee!
[somber music playing]
[gate unlocks]
[gate opens]
[gate closes]
[exhales]
[breathing heavily]
[gasping]
[breath trembling]
[breathing heavily]
[in Japanese] Interpreter Trainee Keum.
[door closes]
Great work interpreting
the interrogation today.
- But I have some bad news.
- [Ga-kyung shudders]
The suspect just died.
It looks like his gunshot wound
led to sepsis.
Mmm.
[inhales sharply]
I see.
[voice shaking] That's a shame.
What a weak man he was. [Breath trembles]
If you'll excuse me.
[breath trembling]
[glass shatters]
[sighs]
[policeman] The chief of police told me
to drive you both home.
[Hideo in Korean] Get in.
They'll take you home.
I'm okay.
I'll go on my own.
[sobs]
[whimpering]
[bicycle bell dings]
[Ga-kyung gasping]
[Hideo sighs in relief]
[Ga-kyung breathing heavily]
[Hideo] You call this okay?
Look at you.
Your hands are shaking.
[breath trembling]
[Fukuda in Japanese] We've got
the Na Byeong-sun couple down as suicides,
and Keum Seok-jung
as dying of acute sepsis.
Very well.
Sir, there's one thing.
Keum Seo-hee saw Keum Seok-jung's body.
Will that be all right?
She saw the dead body?
Yes, sir.
She came to the interrogation room
with Hideo out of the blue.
With Hideo?
Yes, sir.
I told her he died of septic shock.
But since she saw it,
if Yoo Philip hears about it,
it could turn into a big problem
like the Kyeam-ri incident.
Back then, a foreign reporter
got word out to the foreign press,
and that's how we ended up in court.
Things are already complicated
with Manchuria,
and Westerners won't stop talking.
I'm afraid
they'll start digging up Kyeam-ri
all over again
[loudly] Fukuda.
Yes, sir.
Keum Seok-jung died of an illness
during interrogation.
What does that have to do with Yoo Philip?
[scoffs]
My mistake, sir.
I got confused for a moment.
On another note,
did you know Keum is a rare family name?
Pardon?
Call the Suwon Police Station.
Have them find Keum Seok-jung's
personal records and send them over.
There should be a record
from 13 years ago.
Yes, sir.
[ominous music playing]
Keum Seok-jung.
Keum Seo-hee.
[rain pattering]
[music fades]
[policeman exclaims]
What?
You're lonely?
Koharu, how can I say that here?
I told you I'm at work.
Mmm.
What?
I said I can't.
I really can't.
Why won't you stop?
Hmm?
[suspenseful music playing]
[chuckles]
You're so silly.
[man in Korean] We're here.
Thank you…
For bringing me home.
[exclaims]
[voice breaking]
How am I supposed to tell her?
[sobbing]
[breathes heavily]
[sniffles]
[sobs]
Ms. Keum.
Are you okay?
[Ga-kyung exhales]
Yes.
I'm fi…
[inhales] No.
[gasps]
I'm not. [Whimpers]
[gasps]
[somber music playing]
[sobbing]
[bawling]
100 DAYS OF DECEPTION
[Hideo] I don't belong anywhere anyway.
[Shinichi] Why?
Have you had a change of heart
since coming to Joseon?
[Hideo] Ms. Keum, you're a good person.
Look into Keum Seo-hee's record.
Her past, all of it. Leave nothing out.
[Young-bok] What happened in the past?
[Hideo] He should have been given
a proper trial.
I have no regrets.
[Ga-kyung] Could it be Kyeam-ri?
- A family photo?
- [Hideo] Ms. Keum?
What is that
in your hand?
Subtitle translation by: Youji Kim
100 DAYS OF DECEPTION
- [thunder rumbling]
- [rain pattering]
[pensive music playing]
[Ga-kyung] Who?
I don't know anyone by that name.
[Philip] "Keum Seo-hee."
Don't you know
what that name means to So-ran?
Her husband,
the man you met today,
refused to turn in his comrades.
That's why Sato killed his daughter.
Right in front of So-ran's eyes.
[thunderclap]
Even if our cause
doesn't make sense to you,
think about So-ran.
Can't you understand her goal?
I know you think it's crazy.
But if one lost
their beloved child overnight,
anyone would have done the same.
Please.
Try to understand So-ran.
- [door opens]
- [music fades]
- [door closes]
- [serious music builds]
Out of the way.
Traitors are dealt with. Remember?
We need to bring her back.
Why would we do that?
We need to tie up loose ends.
She did her job as a spy properly.
Why should we kill her?
We're the ones who didn't trust her.
[loudly] She just said she's out.
If she goes running her mouth
She has no intention of betraying us.
[So-ran exhales]
She said she's scared
of getting caught and killed.
That means betraying us to save herself
isn't even on her mind.
She's terrified of dying
if her cover is blown.
But even in that situation, turning on us
isn't an option for her. Don't you get it?
She's the spy we sent to kill Sato.
We shouldn't be trying to kill her
right now.
We should be trying to convince her
to come back.
[music fades]
Just this once.
I won't try to persuade her again.
[breathing heavily]
[rain pattering]
- [door opens]
- [Hanako in Japanese] Hideo.
[Yanagi] Hanako?
Hanako.
- Hanako.
- [Hanako] Hideo.
[Yanagi] Hanako.
Hideo must be tired. He needs some rest
[Hanako] Let go!
Hideo.
I wrote all the capital letters.
Look.
Hanako, I'm sorry.
I'm a bit tired today.
How about next time?
[Hanako] Next time? When?
You always come home late.
Look. I memorized all the capital letters.
Hanako.
Maybe tomorrow. I promise I'll look.
[Hanako, angrily] You're a liar!
You always come late,
and you always say, "Maybe tomorrow."
You're not going to keep your promise!
[loudly] I need some space today, okay?
[breathes heavily]
I hate you!
[huffs]
[in Korean] Don't worry about Hanako.
I'll go check on her.
Good night.
[Fukuda grunts]
[in Japanese] You insolent Josenjing!
- [breathes heavily]
- [knock on door]
[in Korean] Come in.
[in Japanese] Father.
[door closes]
[in Korean] Well done.
Sorry?
What do you mean?
Even if you're slapped,
a true Japanese must show no emotion.
[unsettling music builds]
Sit upright, Hideo.
Japanese people don't sit like that.
From now on,
never let your thoughts or feelings
show on your face.
That's what makes you Japanese
and my son.
Do you understand, Hideo?
Answer me.
Yes, Father.
[in Japanese] Father.
[Shinichi in Korean] Well done.
Thank you.
You didn't think Fukuda
would get much out of questioning him,
did you?
No.
Interpreter trainee Keum Seo-hee
was called in
and didn't return for seven hours.
If it'd gone well,
it wouldn't have taken that long.
[Shinichi] Mmm.
You have a point.
Keum Seo-hee.
Yes?
Did you make sure she won't speak?
If Yoo Philip writes an article,
it'll be a problem.
Okay.
She's going to rely on you a lot.
Even if she's dating an American reporter,
she's one of the few women
in the Government-General
and a Joseon person at that.
I don't really follow…
I assume everything
she sees, hears, and thinks
is passed on to him.
Get her to rely on you
and trust you.
But keep this in mind.
She needs to trust you,
but you must never trust her.
Joseon people are an untrustworthy bunch.
And Joseon women
are bound to betray us.
That's exactly what your mother did.
She promised to spend her life with me,
only to leave me.
[tense music playing]
[door closes]
[sighs in relief]
[exhales]
[tense music swells]
[Philip] I know you think it's crazy.
But if one lost
their beloved child overnight,
anyone would have done the same.
[mumbles] Anyone…
Her damn mother
dumped her own kid
to sleep around with a Jap.
[gasps]
- A Jap?
- With a Jap…
[Ga-kyung] When my mom left me,
I resented her a lot, naturally.
But as time went on,
I started telling myself…
That my mom
had just found someone she loved more
and that she loved me too.
[somber music playing]
So…
I was just a little unlucky,
I wasn't a pitiful kid.
That's what I've believed all this time.
But seeing you,
I find myself a little jealous of Seo-hee.
[sniffling]
[somber music turns hopeful]
Because she has a mom
willing to risk her life
for her daughter.
[music fades]
[gentle music builds]
Did you sleep well?
Assassinating the inspector general.
How long will you need?
If you move quickly.
A month.
[tense music playing]
All right, one month.
A month. That's it.
After one month,
send me to America, no matter what.
Okay.
I promise.
Thank you.
Just one month. Don't forget.
[tense music turns dramatic]
100 DAYS OF DECEPTION
JONGNO POLICE STATION.
EPISODE 6
[music swells, fades]
[prisoner moaning]
- [thuds]
- [policeman 1 in Japanese] Zip it!
[policeman 2] Still alive?
[policeman 1] They're like cockroaches.
[policeman 2 snickers]
[Byeong-sun in Korean]
I looked into the thing you asked about.
I managed to get in touch
with the Gugukdan.
It turns out the Gugukdan
was planning to kill Sato
that very day we went
to the American reporter's house.
I'm not sure if the American reporter
was part of the Gugukdan,
but I did find out one thing.
They've got a female sniper
in their group.
They say she's as good as Nam Ja-hyeon.
But I don't know her name or any details.
[sighs]
[gun cocks]
[Shinichi] Ah…
Did you know your fellow members
were killed in Dongsung-dong?
[slow tense music playing]
[music fades]
[Philip] You're all set.
[So-ran] Thank you.
[Philip] So, about that man.
Seo-hee's father.
I'll find a way.
Find a way for what?
He tried to assassinate the inspector
general of the Government-General.
We know how the trial will end.
Even if he's lucky enough
to avoid execution,
how long can he hold out
with those injuries?
Even perfectly healthy men
come out of that prison in body bags.
[light thud]
We don't have time to waste.
We have to act now
to keep them from torturing him.
I'll go talk to Sato.
- Once I meet him
- Once you do,
what are you planning to do?
I'll tell him I'm interested
in the Kyeam-ri incident.
I could ask to speak
with one of the prisoners.
Once that happens, even Sato
will have to think twice before acting.
What Sato wants to hide the most
is the Kyeam-ri massacre
being brought back into the spotlight.
The mastermind
of the Kyeam-ri massacre, Sato,
no, Ishikawa,
leveraged his in-laws' connections
to become the inspector general.
He even took his wife's family name, Sato,
to claw his way up to the top.
So, with the world's eyes
on Japan right now because of Manchukuo,
if Sato thinks I might publish
the Kyeam-ri story
And then what?
What difference will it make?
If the foreign press picks it up
with Manchukuo at stake,
Sato might have to step down
as inspector general.
But even if that happens,
is that what we're fighting for?
Is that enough?
If I kill Sato, I can die with no regrets.
But remember,
that's when your fight begins.
You pledged to expose the truth
about Japan's and Sato's atrocities
under your name
and make sure the whole world sees it.
So until then,
you have to maintain good terms
with the Government-General
as an American journalist.
[pensive music playing]
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.
He'll probably keep quiet,
but you never know.
So leave that to fate
and don't do anything.
Even if he dies in prison,
there's nothing we can do.
But, So-ran, he's your husband.
No.
You are my husband.
[pensive music continues playing]
SATO HIDEO
KEUM SEO-HEE
[So-ran] Win Sato Hideo's heart.
[music fades]
Get him on your side.
The inspector general
keeps people at arm's length.
But Sato Hideo is one of the few people
close to him.
All right.
[So-ran] But remember.
Never let yourself have personal feelings.
[Ga-kyung] Don't worry.
That's never going to happen.
Hello…
[train horn honking]
[train steam hissing]
[train brakes screeching]
[Shinichi] Get her to rely on you
and trust you.
But keep this in mind.
She needs to trust you,
but you must never trust her.
[in English] Mr. Laurent!
Welcome to Keijo.
I'm Sato Hideo
of the Government-General of Joseon.
Hello.
Did you have a good trip?
Can't you tell by looking at me?
[in Korean] There's nothing special.
[in English] "Pneumatic"
tube
"system."
[in Korean] What is that?
[knock on door]
You're here? [Chuckles softly]
[Ga-kyung]
"The inspector general's secretary."
"Yamada Hanako."
"The niece of the Internal Affairs
Bureau director."
"She can't speak the Joseon language."
"Sloppy with work."
"A good kid at heart."
[scoffs]
"She seems to have a crush on Sato Hideo."
Eh?
Wait, why on earth?
[comical music playing]
[in Japanese] Hello.
Ms. Yamada,
the inspector general's secretary?
Yes.
- Is Mr. Sato in?
- [Ga-kyung] Ah…
He hasn't come in yet.
Not yet?
When will he be in?
[chuckles awkwardly] Well, I'm not sure.
Should I tell him you stopped by?
No.
Just give him this.
Ah. We received a lot of cookies
at the Inspector General's Office.
Ah…
Please give these to Mr. Sato.
Sure. I'll make sure he gets them.
Thank you.
- [scoffs]
- [music stops]
[whispers, in Korean] Just one.
[inhales]
[exclaims, gasps]
[exclaiming softly]
Mmm.
LADIES' ROOM
[Laurent in English]
I absolutely cannot put up with this.
[Hideo in Japanese]
He says he can't put up with this.
NO ENTRY
[Shinichi] Go ahead.
[in English]
If you speak, I'll translate for you.
These men work too slowly.
At this rate,
we will never meet the deadline.
The foreman says
at least one worker
doesn't show up every day
because he's sick.
[angrily] Now how ridiculous is that?
[in Japanese] Translate it.
The Joseon workers
are being worked too hard,
and they're falling ill one after another.
He says pushing them too hard
to meet the deadline
will backfire on us.
So he wants their working hours reduced
and enough time for rest.
How many hours a day are they working?
Fourteen hours. It's been three months
straight without a day off.
Cut their hours by an hour
every other day.
But…
If they miss the deadline,
they'll be held accountable.
Got it.
[in English]
We will manage workers better.
Please do not worry.
Thank you.
[in Japanese] Well then.
Let's go.
[car door opens, closes]
[in Korean] Interpreter Sato.
Yes, sir.
Did you interpret that correctly today?
What makes you think I didn't?
All right, I trust you.
Ah.
Have the workers work
an hour longer every day.
Father.
Why should we go easy on them?
They must meet the deadline.
That's an order,
Interpreter Sato.
[sighs]
INTERPRETER SATO HIDEO
- [indistinct conversation in distance]
- [Ga-kyung gasps]
Oh, you're here?
[door closes]
Ah. I was doing some cleaning.
You weren't coming,
and I had nothing else to do.
So I figured I might as well clean.
Uh, by the way, where have you been?
I was worried
since you didn't come in without a word.
[exclaims] Look at all this dust.
[chuckles softly]
If I don't wipe it down,
we'll end up breathing all of it in.
[Ga-kyung shuddering, whimpering]
Ms. Keum.
Yes?
Yesterday was hard on you, wasn't it?
Sorry?
You won't be called in
for anything like that again.
Oh!
It's okay. I wouldn't mind doing it again.
What?
[chuckling] Ah. When I got home
and thought about it,
uh, I realized I was angry at him.
I nearly died because of him too.
I was startled, but that was because
I faced the man who tried to kill me.
I'm okay now.
Just a little tired.
If I get called up
for another interrogation,
I want to do a better job.
I didn't mention anything to Philip,
as you asked,
so don't worry.
Oh, one more thing.
You haven't found
that Jongno Pawnshop yet, have you?
I'll help you find it.
I know Jongno like the back of my hand.
You can count on me.
I'll help you. [Chuckles softly]
No thanks.
What?
I don't need your help.
I can take care of my own business.
Just give me the pawn ticket you stole.
I've played along with your game
long enough now.
Now bring me my pawn ticket.
- [knock on door]
- [in Japanese] Come in.
[policeman] Excuse me.
The chief of police sent me to bring
Ms. Keum Seo-hee to Jongno Police Station.
It's for the interrogation
of the same person from yesterday.
Eh?
[Hideo] Good for you.
Have a nice time.
You said you wanted to do better
next time.
[policeman] Well, actually…
He told me to bring
Interpreter Sato along as well.
[mysterious music plays]
- [music stops]
- [Hideo] Chief.
I thought we'd agreed
that the Foreign Affairs Division
would no longer provide interpreters
for interrogations.
We tried another interpreter,
but he kept asking for Keum Seo-hee.
What else could I do?
Did you two hit it off yesterday
while I wasn't looking?
That is completely inappropriate, Chief.
[Fukuda] Otherwise,
why would he be asking for Keum Seo-hee?
We already have
an interpreter at the station.
So why ask for her?
You asked for Ms. Keum yourself
yesterday as well,
when there's an interpreter here.
Why bother?
We'll just have to find out
why he specifically requested
interpreter trainee Keum Seo-hee.
Fair enough.
The inspector general heard about this
and ordered Interpreter Sato to sit in
to ensure the interrogation goes smoothly.
I'm truly touched
by his thoughtfulness.
[Hideo scoffs]
[hesitates, in Korean] My goodness.
Tell me about it.
Mr. Sato kindly joined me today.
I think I'll be able to do
a better job interpreting.
Interpreter Sato Hideo
speaks Japanese, English,
and the Joseon language, so…
[in Japanese] I'm sorry.
I accidentally used
the Joseon language in front of you.
I just said Interpreter Sato Hideo
can speak Japanese, English,
and the Joseon language.
Of course. He's an interpreter, after all.
Yes, that's right.
Since Interpreter Sato Hideo
speaks the Joseon language fluently,
I'll need to be extra careful
with my interpretation.
He'll catch any mistakes right away.
[ominous music playing]
Let's begin.
Yes, sir.
[Hideo] No, I'll observe from the back.
[Fukuda] Your name?
[in Korean] What's your name?
[in Japanese] Let me ask again.
What's your name?
[in Korean] He's asking you again.
What's your name?
[in Japanese] I granted your request,
so shouldn't you cooperate?
[Ga-kyung in Korean]
I brought your interpreter.
- [in Japanese] What's your name?
- [in Korean] Answer him.
What's your name?
[in Japanese] E…
Go on.
Tell me, what's your name?
[mumbles] Eat…
Shit.
[yells] You son of a bitch!
[scoffs]
[chuckles softly]
Typical Josenjing.
You just run that filthy mouth of yours.
You lot are all the same, Josenjing.
You can try to hide what's inside,
but you stink in the end.
It always gives you away, Josenjings.
[ominous music continues playing]
[policeman] Chief, we brought her here.
[Fukuda] Oh yeah?
- Go ahead.
- [policeman] Yes, sir.
[music fades]
Na Byeong-sun, you have a visitor.
[coughs, gasps]
[woman whimpering]
[woman screaming, sobbing]
[tense music playing]
[woman gasps]
[shudders]
[gasps, exclaims]
[sobbing]
[in Korean] Honey. [Shudders]
[voice shaking] Honey.
[exclaims] Honey!
[screams]
[in Japanese] Forgive us.
[hysterically] Please forgive us!
[in Korean] Honey. [Wails]
Honey.
[in Japanese] Please forgive us.
[sobbing]
[in Korean] Honey!
[woman crying in distance]
[tense music turns gentle]
[music fades]
[in Korean] Young-bok.
Why are you up?
You need to stay in bed.
[Young-bok] I'm fine.
I'll go to my room now.
No, don't worry.
My dad has no idea.
The floor must be uncomfortable.
You can't sleep well on the floor.
[sighs heavily]
Fine.
Have some pine-nut porridge before you go.
No, thank you.
I'll just take this.
Well then.
Thank you.
[mumbles] You silly fool.
Do you think I couldn't sleep
because I was on the floor?
[sighs]
Oh my, the bandages.
[gasps]
[groans softly]
DON'T YOU DARE DIE
[melancholic music plays]
[music fades]
- Please, have some.
- [Seung-eok exclaims]
- Thanks.
- [door opens]
[door closes]
[chuckles]
How is the pneumatic tube project
coming along?
We're in the final stretch.
Ah. Thank you once again
for your generous donation.
[Seung-eok laughs]
It brings immense pride to my family.
It was my lifelong regret
that I couldn't contribute
even a single brick
when this building was being built.
- [Seung-eok laughs]
- [Shinichi giggles]
I'm sure you're here to see
how the tube installation is going.
You should have a look.
It's on the first floor.
Uh, wait, Inspector General.
Well…
[laughs, inhales]
Here. [Clears throat]
This is my daughter.
[clears throat]
[Fukuda in Japanese] I was hoping
I could have dinner at home tonight.
[clears throat] Chief.
May I try speaking with him
in our language?
We're both Joseon people,
so I'll see if I can convince him to talk.
What are you people plotting,
speaking your language behind my back?
That's right.
Why don't you two Joseon people
have some intimate conversation?
Should I get you a room?
[Hideo] Chief!
There's no need to worry.
Even if you don't trust me,
Interpreter Sato here
speaks the Joseon language,
and he's keeping an eye on us.
Fine, let's see what you can do.
[Ga-kyung] Thank you, sir.
[clears throat]
[in Korean] When you
snuck into the house as a deliveryman,
I was the live-in maid there.
You pointed a gun at me that day.
If you'd ever tried to kill my madam,
I would've found a way to stop you.
That is, if you'd tried to kill her.
[laughs awkwardly]
She's Chinese, so she doesn't speak
the Joseon language very well.
[Ga-kyung exclaims]
But she's really good to me.
She gave me the pretty name Keum Seo-hee.
Uh, I wonder
how she came up
with such a pretty name for me.
Anyway, I'm completely on her side.
[Fukuda in Japanese] Hey.
You're dragging this out.
What are you saying?
[gasps]
I'm sorry.
I was making small talk
to get him to open up.
[Shinichi in Korean] Oh.
Did you know your fellow members
were killed in Dongsung-dong?
Yesterday, in Dongsung-dong…
[Fukuda in Japanese] Hey.
Did he just say Dongsung-dong?
[ominous music playing]
He's finally talking.
What is he saying?
[Seok-jung in Korean]
What happened to the people who got away?
I heard they'd been shot.
[yells, in Japanese] What's he saying?
He's asking what happened to those
who were wounded and escaped
yesterday in Dongsung-dong.
I'll try to get him
to talk about something else.
Fine.
[in Korean]
You want to know if your comrades
who fled yesterday are safe, right?
[exclaims]
Of course. I understand how you feel.
Whenever something dangerous happens,
I immediately worry about my madam first.
When she saw me off this morning,
I just hoped she'd stay safe
and live a long life.
[chuckles softly]
- [knock on door]
- [door opens]
[in Japanese]
Chief, his accomplice gave us his name.
[Fukuda] Is that so?
How did you get it out of him?
We snapped his wife's leg.
[snickers softly]
[Fukuda continues clapping]
[in Japanese] You broke her leg?
[yells] You damn monsters!
[yells] What?
He speaks Japanese just fine!
[exclaims]
Oh well, it doesn't matter anymore.
[ominous music continues playing]
- So, what's his name?
- Yes.
His name is Keum Seok-jung.
He's from Kyeam-ri, Suwon.
[music swells]
[gunshots echoing]
Kyeam-ri?
[policeman 1] Yes, these two are childhood
friends from their hometown in Kyeam-ri.
[music intensifies]
That'll be all for today.
We haven't found anything out.
He seems fluent in Japanese.
We don't need an interpreter anymore.
Take these two home in my car.
[policeman] Yes, sir.
[Ga-kyung gasps]
[music fades]
[in Korean] Let's go, Ms. Keum.
Oh. Okay.
Keum Seo-hee.
[pensive music playing]
Is your madam
really that good to you?
- [in Japanese] Shut up!
- [in Korean] On your way home,
buy a castella cake.
[in Japanese] Shut up!
- [Seok-jung grunts]
- [Ga-kyung gasps]
- [policeman 2] You need to leave.
- [Seok-jung grunting]
[gasps]
[breath echoes]
- [music fades]
- [door closes]
[Seung-eok laughs]
My daughter is so bright and frugal.
[chuckles] Our butler has been
staying in bed because of a cold
and took three days off.
She made sure to remind me
to deduct three days from his paycheck.
[Seung-eok laughs]
- She's that kind of girl. [Chuckles]
- [knock on door]
[door opens]
[in Japanese]
Sir, the chief of police is on the phone.
He says it's urgent.
- [in Korean] Excuse me for a moment.
- [Seung-eok] Ah. Sure.
[door closes]
[in Japanese] What is it?
What?
[metal clanging in distance]
[man grunting echoes]
[man groaning in distance]
[in Korean] What did he say at the end?
I couldn't hear him.
You couldn't hear him?
I was going to ask what he said.
But I got kicked out.
Got it.
Uh, so…
What's going to happen to him now?
He'll be put on trial.
How many years is he going to get?
An attempted assassination alone
would get him at least ten years.
On top of that, he killed and wounded
several police officers.
He seriously injured my predecessor,
Mr. Suzuki,
and tried to kill you too.
He could very well be sentenced to death.
By the way,
isn't Keum Seo-hee your real name?
[chuckles nervously] What?
Then what's your real name?
[Ga-kyung] Ah…
Lee…
Gae-ttong.
- What?
- That's my real name.
Lee Gae-ttong. [Chuckles]
But now I'm Keum Seo-hee.
[chuckles softly]
Ah. Please, don't tell anyone
at the Government-General about my name.
Promise me. [Giggles]
And this is how you repay someone
who's been so good to you?
Mmm…
Repay?
You don't know anything
about my relationship with her.
I know more than enough.
You're having an affair
behind someone who's good to you.
You confessed your feelings to another man
behind your lover's back.
Who knows that better than I do?
[scoffs]
You seem really hung up on what I said.
Wouldn't it bother you
if you were in my shoes?
You say things like that to anyone,
so I suppose it means nothing
I don't say that to just anyone.
I only said it to you.
For the first time in my life.
So are you saying…
Mr. Yoo is seeing someone
who doesn't even like him?
Why are you so upset?
What?
Are you upset because a woman
who's cheating on someone likes you?
Is that why you're so disgusted?
Or maybe,
do you hate the thought of me
being with Mr. Yoo?
Should I stop seeing him?
If you tell me to, I will.
Will you believe
my feelings are genuine then?
[sighs]
If I stop seeing Mr. Yoo,
I'll be fired from the Government-General,
get thrown out on the street,
and might never see you again.
I'd hate not to see you again,
but if that's what you want, I'll do it.
Should I
end things with Mr. Yoo?
[gentle music playing]
If I do,
will you accept how I feel about you?
Should I break up with him?
Yes.
Sounds good.
While we're at it,
let's go see Mr. Yoo now.
Break up with him there.
Let's go. Lead the way.
Come on.
What's wrong?
Can't you do it?
See? You can't break up with him.
If you never meant it,
how could you talk
about breaking up that easily?
[chuckling] Well, of course,
saying you like someone is a game to you.
Watch what you say.
Me?
Weren't you the one
who spoke without thinking?
You don't mean a word you say, but you go,
"I like you" or "Should I break up?"
People like you make me sick.
People who throw words around…
With no intention of standing by them.
[music fades]
[gate closes]
[Fukuda] Welcome, sir!
Is he here?
[Fukuda] Yes, sir.
[in Korean] You must've waited
a long time to see me alone.
Are you happy now?
Keum Seok-jung.
Has it been 13 years?
Seeing you again,
I think I remember you.
Ishikawa Nobuyuki.
A mass murderer.
You killed my family, my friends,
and everyone in my village,
then burned them all.
You're a mass murderer.
Mass murder?
I was simply carrying out
my official duty.
I was putting down a riot.
A riot?
All we did was peacefully cry out
for our independence.
We demanded our stolen nation back.
And what did you do?
You locked us up.
[Seok-jung]
You shot us and burned us alive.
[somber music playing]
[gunshots echoing]
In retaliation for
the independence movement.
[Shinichi] Retaliation?
No.
Japan doesn't have time
to bother with retaliating
against uncivilized Joseon people.
I was cleared of all charges in court.
I guess you never saw the verdict.
Are you denying everything you ordered
with your own mouth?
Aren't you afraid of being haunted
by those who died that day?
Imagine how much your wife resented you.
Did it ever cross your mind
that it was all your fault?
Have you never thought about
how all those people who died that day
must resent you?
If you hadn't lured those naive people
into your little independence protest,
they'd all still be alive.
And you'd still be with your family,
enjoying a happy life together.
Happy?
Did you just say "happy"?
In a country that's been stolen from us?
Happy?
[chuckles]
[laughs]
[gunshot echoes]
[somber music turns tense]
[gunshot echoes]
Those were gunshots, right?
[Shinichi] They must've been
quite the loving couple,
dying side by side at the same time.
Ah…
You know, your friend from Kyeam-ri.
What was his name?
Na…
Na whatever-his-name-was?
- [Seok-jung yells] Ishikawa!
- [chain rattles]
Aren't you afraid of karma?
[angrily] Mark my words!
You will pay dearly for what you've done.
Don't worry.
I'm not going to kill you.
Your cause of death…
Will be an illness.
- [yells] Fukuda!
- [door opens]
- [music swells, stops]
- [gunshot echoes]
[gasping]
[Hideo] Ms. Keum.
Listen to me carefully.
Whatever you're assuming,
you've got it wrong.
He's going to face trial,
which will take months.
So…
[yells] Ms. Keum!
[echoing] Keum Seo-hee!
[somber music playing]
[gate unlocks]
[gate opens]
[gate closes]
[exhales]
[breathing heavily]
[gasping]
[breath trembling]
[breathing heavily]
[in Japanese] Interpreter Trainee Keum.
[door closes]
Great work interpreting
the interrogation today.
- But I have some bad news.
- [Ga-kyung shudders]
The suspect just died.
It looks like his gunshot wound
led to sepsis.
Mmm.
[inhales sharply]
I see.
[voice shaking] That's a shame.
What a weak man he was. [Breath trembles]
If you'll excuse me.
[breath trembling]
[glass shatters]
[sighs]
[policeman] The chief of police told me
to drive you both home.
[Hideo in Korean] Get in.
They'll take you home.
I'm okay.
I'll go on my own.
[sobs]
[whimpering]
[bicycle bell dings]
[Ga-kyung gasping]
[Hideo sighs in relief]
[Ga-kyung breathing heavily]
[Hideo] You call this okay?
Look at you.
Your hands are shaking.
[breath trembling]
[Fukuda in Japanese] We've got
the Na Byeong-sun couple down as suicides,
and Keum Seok-jung
as dying of acute sepsis.
Very well.
Sir, there's one thing.
Keum Seo-hee saw Keum Seok-jung's body.
Will that be all right?
She saw the dead body?
Yes, sir.
She came to the interrogation room
with Hideo out of the blue.
With Hideo?
Yes, sir.
I told her he died of septic shock.
But since she saw it,
if Yoo Philip hears about it,
it could turn into a big problem
like the Kyeam-ri incident.
Back then, a foreign reporter
got word out to the foreign press,
and that's how we ended up in court.
Things are already complicated
with Manchuria,
and Westerners won't stop talking.
I'm afraid
they'll start digging up Kyeam-ri
all over again
[loudly] Fukuda.
Yes, sir.
Keum Seok-jung died of an illness
during interrogation.
What does that have to do with Yoo Philip?
[scoffs]
My mistake, sir.
I got confused for a moment.
On another note,
did you know Keum is a rare family name?
Pardon?
Call the Suwon Police Station.
Have them find Keum Seok-jung's
personal records and send them over.
There should be a record
from 13 years ago.
Yes, sir.
[ominous music playing]
Keum Seok-jung.
Keum Seo-hee.
[rain pattering]
[music fades]
[policeman exclaims]
What?
You're lonely?
Koharu, how can I say that here?
I told you I'm at work.
Mmm.
What?
I said I can't.
I really can't.
Why won't you stop?
Hmm?
[suspenseful music playing]
[chuckles]
You're so silly.
[man in Korean] We're here.
Thank you…
For bringing me home.
[exclaims]
[voice breaking]
How am I supposed to tell her?
[sobbing]
[breathes heavily]
[sniffles]
[sobs]
Ms. Keum.
Are you okay?
[Ga-kyung exhales]
Yes.
I'm fi…
[inhales] No.
[gasps]
I'm not. [Whimpers]
[gasps]
[somber music playing]
[sobbing]
[bawling]
100 DAYS OF DECEPTION
[Hideo] I don't belong anywhere anyway.
[Shinichi] Why?
Have you had a change of heart
since coming to Joseon?
[Hideo] Ms. Keum, you're a good person.
Look into Keum Seo-hee's record.
Her past, all of it. Leave nothing out.
[Young-bok] What happened in the past?
[Hideo] He should have been given
a proper trial.
I have no regrets.
[Ga-kyung] Could it be Kyeam-ri?
- A family photo?
- [Hideo] Ms. Keum?
What is that
in your hand?
