Withdraw all troops within 48 hours.
All data and research notes here must be brought back to Japan,

Should
all burned?
Everything must be burned.
Make sure everything we do here
leaving no trace.
That's all.
Fast!
Destroy all! No time!
Fast!

Leave no evidence. There's no time.
Ready.
- Over there! - Ready!
- The serum? - We have secured 12 bottles.
- The Najin? - Eight pieces have been secured.
Then, the other two?
There's not enough time. We failed.
Lieutenant Kato!
There is no more time. Let's go quickly!
Get ready.
Shoot!
Fast!
What are you doing? Hurry!
Get it up there! No time!
- Are we going to use the air route? - Currently, the land route is the safest.
We will take the train from Harbin to Gyeongseong.
- Leave. - Ready!
GYEONGSEONG CREATURE BETWEEN GOOD AND EVIL
EPISODE 1 OF OURS
GYEONGSEONG, LATE MARCH 1945
That year, spring in Gyeongseong came so quickly.
Good grief. Is this Gyeongseong?
This is Gyeongseong.
Oh, the smell!
- Very narrow. - Good grief.
NAMDAEMUN
Buy a newspaper!
Shoe polish!
- Newspaper! - Shoe polish!
- Newspaper! - Son!
Thank You.
Son, I bought a newspaper.
One jeon.
- Take the change. - Thank you sir.
GYEONGSEONG WOMAN MISSING
May you be blessed.
Actually,
this is real news.
Newspapers, newspapers!
CRISIS IN JAPAN!
Looks like the rumors are true.
After the air raid on Tokyo on March 9,
the shadow of Japan's defeat grew darker.
Meanwhile, Joseon fidgeted silently, expecting Japan's destruction.
But…
Rebels!
Catch them all!
Do not move!
Catch them all!
Let's go.
CRISIS IN JAPAN!
- Blurry! - What is it?
Who's that?
UNTIL THE LAST PERSON
LIGHT TO ALL CORNERS
INDEPENDENCE
Arise, people of the peninsula!
This is a chance to sacrifice one's life for the Emperor!
Enter Yasukuni, become an invincible Imperial soldier!
You want to die in a torture chamber,
or become an Imperial soldier?
GYEONGSEONG ARMY
Take your pick!
Damn, I'm going crazy!
Unlucky.
People say, the darkest darkness is before the dawn.
Quickly admit it.
Not me.
Do you want to survive until the end?
Very…
I don't know.
Is he from the independence movement?
You don't know who he is?
He is Jang Tae-sang.
Jang Tae-sang?
Who's that?
Creditors at Griya Harta Emas.
Gold Treasure House?
Oh, Griya Harta Emas.
Located at Jeongmok 2, the best corner in the city center.
As the name suggests, the biggest, best and highest quality place in Gyeongseong
to pawn goods.
This is the famous Waltham clock.
Empat won 50 jeon.
Hi, this is Waltham watches from America!
Empat won 50 jeon.
Listen, my factory was confiscated by the Japanese.
- I guess my house too. - Good grief.
In my house, there are four children and my old mother.
Should my family live on the streets?
This.
I'll give you another won. Take this money, or take back the watch.
Furthermore!
This is my dowry, so take good care of it.
No matter what, I will definitely take it back.
I gave 15 won for everyone.
And this one is fake.
This is a suit from Italy.
- I ordered this in Laas, Italy… - Used clothes, only two won.
This is white porcelain that I bought very expensively three years ago.
Ah, so?
Bring it back.
It's a potty.
You stupid.
What?
Give.
Once again you steal company goods,
I'll cut off ten of your fingers.
Ah, even though it's a joke,
your words are very cruel.
Oh?
It's been a long time since Waltham.
Four won should be enough, but he was given five won 50 jeon.
Elementary, Mr Gu. Wasting money that doesn't belong to him.
Her skin is good.
The price is worth it.
Beom-o, that punk is greedy too.
He always steals whenever he gets the chance.
A set of tea cups and saucers for Mrs. Maeda,
have you prepared?
As the saying goes, don't lean on warm blankets.
Her husband is Ishikawa and her father is General Maeda.
She is the mistress of the family that controls Gyeongseong.
Of course my instinct was to approach them.
What's wrong with being careful?
Don't worry.
Me
is Jang Tae-sang.
Correct. I'm Jang Tae-sang.
The icon of the self-made rich in Bukchon.
How handsome!
- Oh, hello! - Mr Jang!
Calm down.
One two.
- One more time. - Let's change the pose.
What did I say?
He can't.
Mr. Jang!
There's nothing I'm afraid of.
If I want, I can make anything mine.
I'm the Boss of Griya Harta Emas.
Cheers!
I am Jang Tae-sang.
But…
how could I fall into this ruin?
Surely he was secretly funding independence.
No.
So, is he a spy?
No.
He's having an affair.
Having an affair?
Why did you meet him at the tea shop a month ago?
Mrs
wants white porcelain cups and pearl plates.
Why meet again at the museum six days ago?
To say that the white porcelain cup and pearl saucer
hard to find.
You texted him three days ago.
Because suddenly, I found a white porcelain cup
and pearl plates.
Yesterday, you met him at my house.
This is a hard item to find, so I wanted to give it away
directly.
What nonsense is that?
Josenjing's bastard is clueless!
How dare you seduce my wife?
I think you are
misunderstand something.
Don't talk nonsense.
Quickly tell me clearly,
what are you doing with my wife!
Ah, so…
One moment, Commissioner Ishikawa.
Are you
suspect your own wife?
Do you suspect the elegant and noble Mrs. Maeda?
For me, this is
blasphemy and humiliation for Mrs. Maeda.
What do you mean?
Will you be okay, if Mrs. Maeda finds out
that you suspect him? That is what I mean.
Now, let's get straight to the point.
What exactly is your business with me?
This child is missing.
It had been about seven days since he disappeared.
I guess, missing person case
is a police matter.
Aren't you the number one informant in Gyeongseong?
I'm not that good.
"If you're looking for something in Bonjeong, you have to go through Jang Tae-sang.
Be it money, goods, or people." That's what people say.
Is it wrong?
I'm good at catching people who rob me of my money.
Not an entertainer.
Find that girl.
Why did she disappear, where did she go, and has she found another man?
If that's true, find that other guy too.
If you don't find it...
Am I going to die?
You will lose everything you have.
Including the house you own,
property, money, cars,
to your Gold Treasure House in Bonjeong.
All will be confiscated.
And you
will be sent to war.
How much time do I have?
Your time has arrived
fall cherry blossoms.
So?
Okay.
GOLD TREASURE HOUSE
Sir
What happened?
Good grief.
Where did the wounds come from?
Mother Nawol.
How much cash do we have currently?
Cash?
How long will it take
to sell my house and all my buildings in Bukchon,
including Griya Harta Emas?
Can it be done in a month?
What is going on?
Tell me.
It seems
i…
it's been destroyed.
Wow, what is that?
Look at that yeot !
It looks delicious.
The sounds are also beautiful.
MOONLIGHT BAR
- Correct. - I do not know.
Wait a minute.
Correct. Oh, how good!
The sound is very good.
Excuse me.
We're not open yet.
I'm looking for someone.
Among the customers here,
Is there a Japanese named Sachimoto?
I heard he's a painter.
I know two people named Sachimoto.
Both were Japanese soldiers. There are no painters.
I heard, it's a customer here.
Who knows. I've been working here for half a year.
I've never seen that person.
Okay.
Look for it at Griya Harta Emas.
The owner is Jang Tae-sang.
If you were looking for something in Bonjeong, you had to go through the nobleman.
Whether it's money, goods, or people.
He's the number one informant in Gyeongseong.
What?
I asked if you sell that.
Oh, that?
It's broken.
Can't even turn on.
I want to buy it. How much does it cost?
From your appearance, it seems you are from Manchuria.
Two hundred won?
Ah, but it has a sidecar.
Three hundred won only.
You said, it's broken.
If left alone, it will become useless scrap metal.
A motorbike is still a motorbike. Even if it is damaged, it still has a price.
Okay.
Then, 280 won.
- If it's 280 won… - Yes.
All of this, we do well.
Two hundred and fifty won.
We don't accept Chinese money.
Does that young man have a gold mine?
Ah, I told you it was broken.
It's been there for more than three years.
Subject to dew, hail, snow and rain.
It's impossible to turn on.
Oh?
That's enough. Don't worry too much.
Hey, don't be so serious.
You're Mr. Jang. The number one informant in Gyeongseong.
You just need to mobilize all your contacts to find it.
She is Myeong-ja from Chunwolgwan. Where else did he go?
Maybe she fell in love and ran away with a guy…
Who is the man in Gyeongseong who dares to run away
with Ishikawa's mistress?
Is this part of the recent cases of disappearances of many women?
This case shocked Bukchon and Namchon.
The women continue to disappear in series.
And bad rumors circulated. What if Myeong-ja is like that too?
Man, this is a big deal.
What should we do?
What if
we sell everything now
and leave Joseon, Mr. Jang?
I have close friends in Osaka.
Stop it, Mr. Gu!
Let me talk too!
Why did you tell me to shut up when I was just talking?
Don't you keep talking without thinking?
I think before I speak!
I'm thinking about the future!
Suppose all of Mr. Jang's property
rush sale,
rumors will soon spread throughout Gyeongseong.
What's wrong with rumors?
Wouldn't that reach Ishikawa's ears?
If it reaches Ishikawa's ears,
will he just keep quiet?
Sorry.
I didn't think long.
Ishikawa watched me.
- Mr. Gap-pyeong. - Yes, speak.
Contact all the connections and informants you can muster
and look for clues about Myeong-ja.
Look for traces before they disappear, no matter how small.
Okay. That's a very good idea.
We'll give it all, Mrs. Nawol.
Park Beom-o,
look for Young Master Jun-taek.
Why with him?
He is the only man in Gyeongseong
who dared to escape with Ishikawa's savings.
- After meeting him, tell him to come here. - Good.
And Mrs. Nawol, sell everything from the expensive items in the safe
quietly and as quickly as possible, so that rumors don't spread.
Cash it all into gold or cash.
Then, find out the schedule of ships departing this month.
If the situation is urgent,
maybe we should leave Gyeongseong.
Okay.
MORTGAGE HOUSE
GOLD TREASURE HOUSE
He's the number one informant in Gyeongseong,
but attracted the attention of many people.
It seemed that Jang Tae-sang immediately made his move.
Everyone at Griya Harta Emas is out looking for clues about Akiko.
Okay.
Get out.
Ready!
Looks like I'm pregnant with a child.
Child?
Of.
Your child.
There's a call from your house.
They want to know what time you'll be home.
Say, don't wait for me.
I'm going to be home late because of this missing person case.
Good.
Oh, so it seems.
It is okay. Yes.
Until found.
Wake up, everyone! On to the location!
Fast! Hurry up!
What should we do?
Don't speak up.
Do not raise your head.
What?
Are two people enough?
Yes, we only need two people.
This.
- Take him. - Ready!
Save me!
Help me!
What's that?
Ah, he was taken from Seodaemun Prison a long time ago.
However the condition...
Let's see.
- Take him. - Ready!
Save me!
Head down!
Help me.
How?
Save me!
Please save me!
Bring these two people.
Help me.
Help me!
Save me!
Help me!
Save me!
Please!
What is it?
I have an appointment. Can you take me to Bukchon?
- What? - You're good at Joseon.
You're on guard all day, you must be bored. Let's get rid of boredom
by taking me.
You're going to follow me, right? No need to fight tactics.
Truly…
Hey…Hey!
Let's go to Bukchon.
What are you waiting for?
HARMONICS, POCKET WATCHES, WESTERN FURNITURE, FEDORA
Gosh, do you want to empty the entire Griya Harta Emas safe?
Good grief.
The condition of the item is very good. No need to check again.
Of course. This is an item from Griya Harta Emas.
Can you finish it in ten days?
Ten days? Fast too.
Why such a hurry? You're not usually like this.
Why? Is Mr. Jang leaving Gyeongseong?
Rumors have spread.
He said, Mr. Jang was caught because of Ishikawa's savings.
Shut up.
Or I'll sew your mouth shut.
Actually, the trackers came to Gyeongseong.
Maybe they can help Mr. Jang.
"Trackfinder"?
Correct. They are people who are experts in finding missing people.
In Manchuria, they were called trackers.
Continue.
My friend's cousin's daughter
disappeared for three years after celebrating the Dano Festival.
However, those tracers
go to the South Country and find it.
Turns out, she was made an entertainer there.
They went to the Southern States?
Yes. After combing all of Joseon,
they went to Manchuria, Yanbian, to the Southern Lands.
Even if the person they are looking for is dead, they will bring their bones.
Very?
Where can I meet them?
Oh, thanks. Thanks to you, I arrived comfortably.
- Oh? No… - Accept it!
Buy food.
I'll keep it a secret from Ishikawa, so keep it.
This…
What is this?
Ah, welcome.
How many people…
I didn't come to eat.
I want to use your back door.
This side, Tuan Jang.
STUPID
Who are you?
Why are you following me?
You don't look like Ishikawa's men.
who is your master
Who sent you? Answer!
Are you Mr Jang?
It is impolite to answer a question with a question.
Moreover…
How dare you carry such dangerous items?
- Have you come to kill me? - I didn't intend to kill you.
Although now I want to try.
Let's just say you don't intend to kill me.
Put this knife away. Let's talk.
Put your gun away before telling me to.
Okay.
Lower together on the count of three.
Now.
One.
Two.
Three.
You don't believe me.
I think you do too.
- Are you a hitman? - Looks like you have a lot of sins.
You always fear for your life.
Such is the age.
In this world, there is no way to survive without sinning
and you can die even if you have not sinned.
What business do you have with me?
I heard, you're the number one informant here.
Did you know that every piece of information has a price?
There is a price difference between high and low level information.
I'm looking for someone.
He is Japanese.
- What's the job? - Painter.
People who are not soldiers or officials include low-level information.
However, I don't deal with low-level information.
It's troublesome and tiring, but it doesn't make money.
His name is Sachimoto.
I do not know.
He was around mid 30's.
I do not know.
At that time, his Joseon language was still poor, so he must have just come from Japan.
I don't know at all.
Actually, I'm looking for my mother who disappeared ten years ago.
Oh.
Oh!
In that case,
Is Sachimoto the man who ran away with her?
What?
Ten years is quite a long time.
If your mother has a new life, it's better not to look for it...
Very rude.
From what you said, you're not informant number one,
but trash number one.
Yes, I won't deny it.
I was born as trash
and survive by being shuffled around like trash.
Be careful with your mouth.
Your mouth is your tiger.
What's your name?
Your eyes are very beautiful.
Are you making fun of me?
Want me to gouge your eyes out?
Pleased to meet you.
Crazy bastard.
See you again.
He's looking for Sachimoto?
Sachimoto…
Sachimoto, there's a call.
MOONLIGHT BAR
What do you need, for you to send a message?
Do you know where Myeong-ja is?
Myeong-ja…
Myeong-ja… Myeong… Oh!
The entertainer from Chunwolgwan?
He used to lean on my arm and express his love.
Suddenly, she became Ishikawa's mistress and tore my heart apart.
Why are you looking for him?
He has been missing for seven days. Don't you know?
I knew he was missing, but I didn't know where he was.
Why?
You think I kidnapped and hid him?
Well, if not.
Better
release your possessions now.
I heard rumors.
Ishikawa will take everything you own.
Wouldn't it be better to wear it to show patriotism?
You will enjoy being a hero, and your friends will enjoy earning money.
How can my property be confiscated?
I just need to find that comfort woman.
If he could be found, Ishikawa would have found him.
It has been seven days since he disappeared. Ishikawa can't afford it, so he drags you along.
There's no way you don't know.
You're drunk.
Go home.
Work hard like a horse, but use your money, Tae-sang!
If your money
you don't use it to help others or yourself,
no different from a pile of dust.
Don't obsess over meaningless things.
Because I've worked hard, I can wear it however I like.
I risked my life for money, and I will spend it as I please.
Is it wrong?
Is Joseon not in your heart?
Don't you want to do something for this country?
I've never seen Joseon without Japan.
I was born in a colonial country, without a father.
How else?
It's okay if you insult me.
But don't insult my money.
I work like a horse. That money means a lot to me.
Whether you call it a pile of dust or dirt,
which made me like this and survived until now
is my money and wealth. Understand?
MOONLIGHT BAR
Coincidentally, I'm going home.
Can you take me?
Come in.
Subject one showed symptoms.
This time a little faster.
Are you going out?
Help me.
Ah, my head...
Oh, help me.
My head hurts so much.
The serum?
Not given yet.
Is it wrong again this time?
What about the second room?
He was still calm.
How?
Shall we move on to the serum?
Continue.
Ready.
Already home?
Mrs. Nawol, are you still here?
I'm waiting for you.
The realtor told about the so-called tracer.
They are very good at finding missing people.
So, how do you find a missing person?
The methods vary.
Isn't there a single most powerful way?
Don't you have any secrets or special methods of your own?
The trick is, we don't give up.
We never give up on finding someone,
and keep tracking it non-stop.
- How many people did you find? - If you don't believe it, look for someone else.
I will give you an important assignment.
Isn't this kind of inspection normal?
I don't want to have to be examined like this.
Over the past decade, we received more than 200 requests.
About 140 of them were found. Including the dead.
No need to answer him!
He is not the number one informant in Gyeongseong.
He's just trash.
Chae-ok.
I don't want to accept someone like him's request.
What else have you done?
I didn't act.
I'm just saying that…
her eyes are beautiful.
- What? - Let's go, Chae-ok.
You say, Sachimoto?
Japanese Men,
in his mid-30s, a painter.
Don't you handle inferior information?
My principles
depending on the situation.
If it depends on the situation, it is not a principle, but an anomaly.
Call it flexibility to deal with emergencies.
Not looking for your profit?
I'm so desperate.
You're pathetic too. Know?
Throughout Gyeongseong,
I'm the only one who has many Japanese connections.
Whether it's an official, an entrepreneur,
doctors and judges,
I have all kinds of connections.
With such strong connections and informants,
you can find Myeong-ja from Chunwolgwan itself.
If he's still alive.
Usually, after searching for this much information,
I'll definitely get a clue within half a day.
However, I don't know the news yet.
You think he's dead?
Anyway, look for him.
And I'll find out about Sachimoto.
No need.
That's our business.
Aren't you looking for your mother?
I can definitely help.
I guarantee it.
I'll ask one thing.
Are you a good person, or a bad person?
I only…
people who are really trying to survive.
How much time do we have?
Dad
Your time has arrived
fall cherry blossoms.
- What should I draw today? - Go to room number two.
If you can't see it, you can come closer.
Oh yes.
Don't get too close,
because it can be dangerous.
Okay.
Can you cook with a flashlight for a while?
