GYEONGSEONG CREATURE
ONE YEAR AGO ONGSEONG HOSPITAL, GYEONGSEONG
Sachimoto Ryu, a graduate of the Art Department of the University of Tokyo...
Did you register?
Of.
I want to work for the Emperor and Empire of Japan...
And because the wages are great?
What's this?
This is New Writing in anatomy.
New Posts in anatomy?
In Germany, writing like this was written in 1722.
Even though it's late,
to improve the medical standards of the Japanese Empire,
Ongseong Hospital has done a lot of research and experiments.
Your job is to record everything.
In that case,
what I have to draw is...
Which part will we try today?
Because today there is a new artist,
We start lightly, namely opening the stomach.
Good.
Surgical knife.
Help me.
Please, save me.
Doctor!
Save me!
Sachimoto!
Come back now!
I'm just a poor painter.
I want to make money,
so I chose Joseon which paid big wages.
No need to cry.
You'll get used to it soon, like everyone else.
That's what humans are like.
Quickly get used to anything.
Whether it's suffering...
or disappointment.
Hi, your time is up. Stop it.
GYEONGSEONG CREATURE BETWEEN SUFFERING AND DISAPPOINTMENT
EPISODE 2 SEONG-SIM
Why do you grant such a person's request?
Is there a reason not to accept it?
He finds what he's looking for, and we get information about Sachimoto.
He is shameless and rude.
Don't be quick to judge someone.
I can tell from the way he talks...
and because he belittles other people's problems.
For him, we are nothing more than tracers.
We've agreed. It's just a mutually beneficial exchange of things.
This time…
I don't feel good, Dad.
This happened once on Manwol Island.
At that time, Dad was seriously injured.
This is the last time, Chae-ok.
After this,
go home
What about Mom?
Looking for your mother is my destiny and karma.
Don't carry that burden forever.
Dad!
You have to live your life.
This is the last one.
PENGINAPAN FUTAMI
Until
fall cherry blossoms.
What do you think of those trackers
will show his abilities?
From what I hear,
it seems they are not amateurs.
Who's next?
I heard, Kinoshita.
Oh, that new guy?
He's not good.
- Let's go. - Good.
Why don't we get a single clue?
I combed Myeong-ja's favorite coffee shops, restaurants, tailors, shoe stores,
no one knows where he is.
This is impossible.
I also went to the pedicab company he often used.
They don't know either.
No one accompanied him or saw him.
Oh my, did he disappear?
Gosh, it's gone without a trace.
Evaporate! Myeong-ja must have evaporated into the wind.
Everyone leaves traces. We're the only ones who can't find it.
Is that how they're following us now?
Are they looking down on us?
How can they be so obvious?
It's hard to pretend not to know. Annoying.
What is the problem?
- Why fight? - Because of the potty.
Is he crazy?
Why don't you answer?
If you look, what color is this?
That…
White.
White porcelain
what is it called in Joseon?
"Baekja", Pak.
In that case…
GOLD TREASURE HOUSE
What's this?
Answer!
Didn't you hear? What's this?
Let me see.
What is it?
Too rude to be called baekja.
It looks like a normal crock.
However, I bought it for 100 won.
So?
I plan to pawn it here. How much can I get?
Do you have a letter of authenticity?
Receipt is fine.
I do not have.
You paid 100 won for this 10 jeon worth of potty ,
without warranty or receipt?
If so, it is clear that you have been deceived.
You should go to the police, not to this pawn shop.
Mr. Jang.
Don't be like that, be kind to me.
I heard, everything you own will be confiscated by Ishikawa.
Says who?
Rumors have spread in Bonjeong,
that the owner of Griya Harta Emas will soon change.
Eventually everything will be taken away from you, what harm would there be in adding this one potty?
This bastard…
What are you saying?
What?
"This bastard"?
Don't disturb my business this morning. Go.
Don't play around, you'll get hurt.
Oh, and if possible, don't speak Joseon.
Your pronunciation is bad.
Very bad.
Damn!
I will kill you!
Two!
The owner of the Gold Treasure House is me, Jang Tae-sang.
And it won't change forever.
So, if you make a fuss here
or dream to rob me,
there are two choices for you.
Dead, or disabled.
What are you waiting for? My arm hurts!
Maybe because I'm getting older, my arms are getting weaker.
Look at this.
Two.
Get out.
Step aside!
Let's go.
From now on, we must be vigilant.
What?
What do you mean?
We have to find Myeong-ja.
Otherwise, those bastards will keep coming to bother us.
About that...
The last place Myeong-ja visited has been found.
What?
We found the rickshaw puller who drove Myeong-ja seven days ago.
No, it's impossible!
I've searched all the rickshaw pullers in that company!
I've gone and found out for myself!
It doesn't work there.
So?
You said he could have been killed.
When I think about who might have killed him,
only one comes to mind.
Where's Takashi?
He fell ill, and will rest three or four days.
Nyonya Yukiko Maeda.
Did Yukiko Maeda call Myeong-ja?
Initially, it was called to Ishikawa's house.
About 30 minutes later, they moved.
Move where?
Ongseong Hospital.
Home… Ongseong Hospital?
Are you sure?
Help me!
Are you sure he went to Ongseong Hospital?
Yes of course. Definitely Ongseong Hospital.
I swear by my father and mother. He's at Ongseong Hospital!
I brought it myself!
It seems Myeong-ja disappeared after being taken to Ongseong Hospital.
So, isn't it more likely that he's still inside?
Good grief. No. Impossible.
Why isn't it possible?
Listen. Ongseong Hospital
difficult for other people to enter
other than Japanese military, police, or government officials.
How did the courtesans from Joseon get in?
Do you know how thorough the identity checks are at the gate?
What if Maeda Yukiko
who planned it?
Why did he do it?
Why did she take her husband's mistress to a Japanese-only hospital?
We'll know when we go in and see it.
You're so strange.
I told you, Joseon people can't come in and out as they please.
I heard, Mr. Jang's connections are strong.
Is it not strong enough to go in there?
Wow, how dare!
I know some Joseon people who can get into that hospital.
So, can you do it or not?
I have to wait…
Just forget it.
If we can't, we find our own way.
Wow, you really can't wait. Who says you can't?
I mean, let's make a plan first.
When doing anything,
we have to make preparations. Don't you know?
Is there something on my face?
- What are you doing? - Oh.
Give it to two people outside.
What is your plan?
How dare they doubt me?
I'll tell you how shrewd and thorough I am.
What is the money for? What is your plan?
What else?
Make the impossible
become possible.
- What's this? - Money.
That's money.
I don't care, you use it for independence or whatever.
I gave this to you, so use it however you like.
What do you want?
- Lend your identity card. - Identity card?
As I recall, your family was among the few Joseon people in Gyeongseo
who can enter Ongseong Hospital.
- That's right, right? - Why?
Are you sick?
No, not me.
Wait.
If it has anything to do with Ishikawa, don't involve me.
Let's just say you saved a friend's life.
That is if you still consider me a friend.
If you're not the one who's sick, then who is?
I need to know who's sick before I lend it.
Don't know too much. That's better for you.
After taking away my identity,
are you worried about me?
Do you want it or not?
Can't you share your passion with us?
Sorry, but me
dreaming in vain of freedom and liberation.
Even the king can't do it, what can I dream of?
In the midst of this chaos,
all I wanted was to survive as best I could.
So…
do you want to lend it?
Return it after you use it.
Of course.
MOONLIGHT BAR
Did you succeed?
The trackers haven't arrived yet?
Oh, that's them.
It's beautiful too!
Gosh, it's beautiful!
Let's go.
What? Ah.
Before sunset.
Yes, let's go. Come on up.
Helping a woman when getting into the car is good manners.
No need.
We're leaving.
Identity card.
This is our Young Master.
Do you know the Bugang Company? He is the eldest son of the family.
- Are they your party? - Ah.
It was the Young Master's fiancé with his father.
Ah, our appointment time is almost here…
Please hurry.
Doctor Takahashi really hates people who are late for appointments.
Elementary, Josenjing.
Let them in!
Thank You!
Wait a minute!
Bring this.
Ah, I don't remember...
Thank you very much.
Ongseong Hospital?
Yes, he just went in there with his colleagues.
Should I ask that they continue to be monitored?
DOCUMENT ROOM
I came to see Doctor Takahashi.
Doctor Takahashi?
My family doctor is Dr. Takahashi.
However, today he must be off.
He goes to play tennis every Thursday afternoon.
It is better.
This afternoon, he has a day off.
I've contacted him for an appointment today.
Please check again.
- Wait a minute. - Good.
Ah, my stomach!
What is it?
How about this?
You are okay? Which part hurts?
- My stomach! - Gap-pyeong!
Gap-pyeong!
You are okay?
Gap-pyeong!
From behind…
Call a doctor!
What comes out of the back?
- Oh! My stomach hurts! - What came out?
- Get out, get out! - Get out!
Come to your senses!
Is there no doctor?
Fast!
Come to your senses!
Akiko…
Who are you?
What are you doing here?
Me
get lost for a moment.
If you're lost, why look at that note?
My friend is being treated here, but I can't find him.
It seems you're from Joseon.
Don't make a fuss.
I'll go out quietly.
what can
Who are you? Show your identity first.
didn't you hear? Don't make a fuss.
Are you
from Manchuria?
Who are you?
The doctor will come soon. Hang in there.
I think the doctor has come.
The doctor has come.
If injected, your pain will decrease.
Quickly take off the jacket!
- Good. - No.
Don't! Don't!
Don't!
Help me! Help me!
Young Master, please!
My God, Young Master!
- Fast! - Good.
It's okay, you'll get better soon.
No!
- Gap-pyeong. - No!
Hi, come here. You…
Don't be like this!
- Oh? - Unlucky! Why…
Wait. Wait a minute.
- Oh! - Why?
- Suddenly not sick anymore. - Very?
What happened? My pain is gone.
What?
I'm not sick anymore, Doctor!
Extraordinary!
Thank You!
You're a great doctor!
Extraordinary.
Extraordinary!
Will you let me get an injection, Mr. Jang?
In the end you didn't get the injection.
What?
What is it?
Don `t be surprised.
There seems to be shooting practice at a military base nearby.
This is strange. The sound clearly came from under the building.
We have to go.
Follow me.
- Why shoot? - We failed to catch him.
They were attacked before we got to the door.
One corporal is still alive!
Help me!
Help me…
How about this?
I will save the corporal!
Shut up. Don't move!
Let me in, Lieutenant!
I said, shut up!
Do not move! Don't do anything!
This is a very important experiment for us.
Understand?
Lieutenant Kato! There…
What's that?
Help me!
Please, help me!
Help. Help me!
Help me!
No! Stop it!
She is a Goddess.
A Goddess is born!
What are you doing here?
What happened?
We're staying at the hospital tonight.
What?
What about us? We also?
You'll just be a nuisance. You better get out.
At least explain what happened.
Behind the hospital, there is a military ward.
The basement there is very suspicious.
Many Joseon people were transferred there from Seodaemun Prison.
However, that has been moved there
never came back.
Is Myeong-ja there too?
We plan to find out.
What…
Where did you get all that information?
The movements in the military ward were very strange.
We'd better come back another day.
There is no other day.
Just show me the way. The rest, leave it to us.
What…
Actually…
What is going on?
What did this janitor say?
- Why suddenly... - My little brother...
It was transferred here from Seodaemun Prison last year
because of high fever.
However, there has been no news since then.
I tried to find out, but there is no record of him.
Good grief. That's why you came to look for him?
How can I trust you? This is our first time meeting.
What's this?
That's the flag of the Patriotic Organization.
One of the groups of freedom fighters.
You'd better go home, Mr. Jang.
After confirming whether Myeong-ja is inside, we will send a message.
- But… - I'm ready.
Follow me.
Wait.
Oh yes. Thank you for the clothes.
That is not what I mean.
Is there anything else you want to say?
What?
Say it.
I…
I only…
I think this operation is too reckless.
So, I mean...
What if we look for another, safer way?
When we arrive the cherry blossoms fall.
The cherry blossoms bloom quickly.
And once it blooms, it will quickly fall too.
There is no time or reason to postpone this.
However, a hospital stay was not in the plans.
When circumstances change, your principles also change.
There was just a slight change in plans. Why worry?
Is this what you call flexibility?
We will do our duty,
so you have to find out about Sachimoto. Understand?
- Chae-ok. - I'm coming.
Wow, their alacrity is no joke. That's right, isn't it, Mr. Jang?
Hi, you!
This is a forbidden area for outsiders.
- Who are you? - Oh, sorry.
We look for the bathroom.
Let's go, Young Master.
Wait a minute.
Ah, you're here apparently.
I checked, apparently today is Dr. Takahashi is on holiday.
Ah, so?
There seems to be a misunderstanding.
How…
Are they visitors?
Yes, he is an outpatient of Dr. Takahashi.
You have to go now.
Emergency situation.
All visitors and outpatients
please come out.
Why are there soldiers?
One more time.
What is this?
All visitors and outpatients
please come out.
Please come out!
Lieutenant Kato! Quickly give orders!
The laboratory door will be broken soon!
Lieutenant Kato!
Proceed to level four. Prepare nitrogen.
Ready. Bring on the nitrogen!
Ready.
Don't worry.
I will move you to a place worthy of a Goddess.
What happened?
Surely they are fine.
They call themselves members.
After checking Myeong-ja's whereabouts, they will come out.
They…
Of?
They seem as sincere as I am at work, right?
NO ENTRY
ONGSEONG HOSPITAL
Is there movement?
No. It seemed he was asleep.
What is all this?
It's kind of like… Spores.
This is anthrax.
Even while sleeping, he protects himself.
The transfer is complete.
Close the door.
Proceed to level four.
Continue to inject nitrogen throughout the journey.
Do not touch the released spores.
Everyone, be careful.
Ready!
Leave!
COMPRESSED NITROGEN GAS
Oh?
It looks like it's snow.
It melts very quickly.
Help me!
Extraordinary.
Were the evacuated Japanese soldiers treated in military wards?
The army rooms are on the second and third floors.
The first floor contains general offices, communications rooms and liaison offices.
It looks more like a military facility.
The security is very tight. I didn't dare come closer.
I only come in every other day to clean the ward.
Why is the eastern watchtower empty?
The tower is fragile. Some have fallen to death.
There were plans for renovation, but in the end it was abandoned.
Can you go to that tower?
Even though it seems difficult,
I can.
- I will be there. - Wait.
Wait…
Where did he go?
EIGHT CORNERS OF THE WORLD UNDER ONE ROOF
- Fast! - Ready!
Fast!
- Fast! - Ready!
- Getting ready to go. - Ready.
- Fast! - Hurry up!
- Getting ready to go. - Ready.
- Leave. - Ready.
Fast.
Hurry up.
Aren't you going home?
Tell me. What is it?
I don't know the reason.
What reason?
Why am I so worried.
About what?
Look at my situation now.
Ishikawa held my life.
If I don't find Myeong-ja, all my property will be confiscated.
I could have been dragged into the battlefield.
Besides, many people want to rip off and make a profit
from my pawnshop.
Why am I so worried...
that woman?
You mean, the tracker?
- Who? - The woman you just mentioned.
Women?
- Did I say "woman"? - Unfortunately.
There is no cure for lovesickness.
"Lovesick"? Be careful with what you say!
I'm Jang Tae-sang.
Even the most beautiful woman in Gyeongseong couldn't attract me.
I'm the sexiest man in Bukchon, the most sought after man in Namchon!
That's lovesickness.
Even if you reject all the beautiful women in Gyeongseong,
how are you now?
The one who stole your heart was the trail-seeking woman.
That is absolutely not true!
So, what is true?
That is only…
Just… Humanism?
Humanism?
Ya, humanism.
Humanity.
I see this situation from a humanitarian perspective.
That's why I'm worried. Understand?
- Then, there's no need to worry. - I should have dragged him out of there.
I shouldn't have left it at Ongseong Hospital.
If you have time, look for Sachimoto.
What do you get if you just sit and worry?
Act in your style, like a man!
I mean, do your job.
So?
Oh it's like that.
Where do you go?
Doing my job, my style.
GOLD TREASURE HOUSE
What the hell is he doing?
I refuse to take you anymore!
All right. Now, write it down first.
Sachimoto, a Japanese man in his mid-thirties.
- Write! - Oh.
He's a painter, and he's a resident of Gyeongseong.
Tell Inspector Ishikawa,
please find out, is there such a person.
This is important for finding Myeong-ja. Do not be careless. Understand?
- Good. - Okay!
Excuse me.
Please.
Who are you drawing?
Oh…
Sorry.
The woman in your picture looks like a Joseon person.
How do you know?
Part your hair.
So?
You're good at drawing.
Are you a painter?
Latest news!
Ongseong Hospital is closed indefinitely
because of an unknown plague!
- Mr. Choi is right. - Latest news!
They took many bodies from there in trucks last night.
The hospital is closed!
Latest news!
ONGSEONG HOSPITAL CLOSED DUE TO THE OUTBREAK
Hurry down!
Fast! Hurry up!
Hurry down!
Build the barricades first!
I said, hurry!
CLOSED
What happened yesterday? Good grief.
What did you say? Japanese soldiers surrounded the hospital?
People from outside can't come in,
and people from inside can't get out.
They have machine guns. It looks serious.
No news from the tracers yet?
I don't think they're out of the hospital yet.
Mr Jang. Where are you going?
Still German?
Quickly follow him!
Okay! I will follow him!
GOLD TREASURE HOUSE
I checked, apparently today is Dr. Takahashi is on holiday.
What do you need?
WE FOUND MYEONG-JA
Where is the sender of this message?
They are still inside.
I got out
right before the hospital closed
at dawn.
Are they safe?
I don't know.
Is it true that there is an outbreak in the hospital?
I don't know.
Answer honestly!
What's happening there now?
I said, I don't know either!
Last night…
many died in hospital.
The people who died were countless.
I don't know the reason.
I don't even know what happened.
Why did you?
Why are you the one bringing this message? Reply me.
Horrible things are happening inside Ongseong Hospital.
Casualties continue to fall, but we don't know the reasons.
My colleagues keep trying to find out…
but didn't come back.
May be
this time too.
WE FOUND MYEONG-JA
- Mr. Gap-pyeong. - Yes sir?
I think I should go in there.
Where to?
- Ongseong Hospital. - Sir!
- Sir! - Sir!

Reason for another reason
Now I'm so sick of waitin'
Voices in my head
Mess around in my mind
Know, what I could do
You'll never know What we could have been
For you No, oh, oh, oh, oh
Do you know Oh, no
You'll never know What I could do
You'll never know What we could have been
For you No, oh, oh, oh, oh
Do you know Oh, no
