GYEONGSEONG CREATURE
What is the scale of the loss?
Three soldiers and four members of the disease control squad died,
and a major was seriously wounded.
Most of the Joseon subjects were killed.
How beautiful.
And the movement?
How fast does it move?
Tell me.
How perfect is he?

I don't want to die.

Can't close!
Let go!
Major Endo!
Answer.
Is our experiment
success?
Destroy…
that creature.
What you did was...
is a disaster.
Before it's too late,
destroy it
that monster.
Is this a disaster?
Is it true?
GYEONGSEONG CREATURE BETWEEN PERSISTENCE AND OBSESSION
EPISODE 3 TERMS
This tea is very fragrant.
This is thanks to your skills.
Once you find this classy teacup,
the enjoyment of the tea ceremony is doubled.
Your Joseon language sounds much more natural.
That's because you introduced me to a good teacher.
Oh, I heard Ongseong Hospital is closed.
Did you hear something?
Who knows.
I heard briefly that there is an unknown infectious disease
which is epidemic.
My friend was in the hospital, and I lost contact with him.
If you have any acquaintances there, could you tell me
the situation in hospitals, and when will this isolation stop?
Is this because of someone named Myeong-ja?
If it's true, I think it's better you don't look for it.
There is a Joseon proverb that says,
"If it sinks, even the straw becomes a handle."
This means that when we are in despair, we have to hold on to the slightest thing.
That's my current situation, Mrs. Maeda.
Couldn't you have easily ignored my husband's threat?
If it was just a threat, I would have ignored it.
However, I think this time he is serious.
So?
So, I also have to be serious,
if you want to survive.
You can't go to Ongseong Hospital now.
Even if you go in, you won't find what you want.
So, find another way, Tuan Jang.
This is my advice as a friend.
I need the blueprints for Ongseong Hospital.
Can you contact the Governor's Office architecture team?
Ask for as detailed a picture as possible.
For what? There is no way to get in there.
Hospital closed.
Outsiders, even all vendors
no entry.
Really can't get in.
Please bring it before sunset.
This is an infectious disease.
If you contract an unknown disease, it's a path to the afterlife.
I went in alone. No problem, right?
What if he lied?
What if the tracker lied to survive?
It could be like that!
Hospital closed. There is no way out, and disease spreads.
Maybe he couldn't find Myeong-ja and just wanted to be safe.
- You really think so? - To be honest…
Why is Myeong-ja in Ongseong, where only high-ranking Japanese officials visit?
There's no way he could be there.
I bet all my money, 380 won.
Ah, your hands are always unlucky.
What?
You always lose at cards and when betting.
Even when gambling, you always lose all your money.
Mr. Jang, when did I do that?
Myeong-ja must be there.
I checked with Mrs. Maeda.
Istri Ishikawa?
Did the woman say that Myeong-ja was there?
That is right?
Did Maeda say that?
Before ten o'clock tonight, I will enter Ongseong Hospital.
Get everything ready.
WE FOUND MYEONG-JA
Before ten o'clock, send a signal to the east ward of Ongseong Hospital.
Smoke or fireworks, anything recognizable from inside the hospital.
You won't find what you want.
Find a way to remove them.
So, find another way, Tuan Jang.
So? What is Jang Tae-sang doing?
He has been busy walking here and there since morning.
But…
But?
The plot is a little strange.
What?
I win!
Yes, he played for an hour in the shop of Mr. Wang, an immigrant from China.
FIRING
The next round is a double.
Do you want to?
Okay.
So, what's next?
He took a trishaw around Bonjeong for about 30 minutes.
Just walking around?
Of.
And the last place visited…
- Suit shop? - Correct.
It seemed he was being measured for a new suit.
Make a bold style suit that is popular right now.
Good.
TOKO JAS YOKOHAMA
This is pure American-made wool that just arrived from Tokyo last month.
Maybe, you will like the second ingredient.
MOONLIGHT BAR
This was sent from the Moonlight Bar last night, Mr. Jang.
I'm the afternoon janitor.
ONGSEONG HOSPITAL
Come in.
Good.
CLEANING ROOM
- Was the letter sent safely? - I gave it to someone I trust.
It must be in Mr. Jang's hands now.
By the way,
are you sure Myeong-ja is here?
It seems so. Actually, last night…
Don't shoot, Dad.
- He's on our side. - What?
He's a Japanese soldier.
Not.
I'm from Joseon.
I'm truly a Joseonian.
Well, let's see.
GOLD TREASURE HOUSE
Oh, it's clean, however
it seems a bit old.
This has been the lifeblood of our family for more than ten years.
With this, my son went to medical school.
The highest price is only 90 won.
Do you still want to?
No need for money.
Can
are you looking for my son?
He was wounded at the Battle of Bongrim and evacuated.
However, I lost contact.
I entered the military while studying medicine at Gyeongseong University.
I was wounded at the Battle of Bongrim in China
and transported to Ongseong Hospital.
After recovering, I was assigned to the disease control squad.
Control?
There is a human experiment laboratory in the basement of this hospital.
Yesterday, I saw with my own eyes...
many Joseon people died.
It is…
anthrax disease.
I saw him at the Battle of Bongrim.
A village there was destroyed by anthrax.
I remember, because it was so terrible.
Damned people!
Are men in their early 20s among the dead?
He is of medium height, and there is a black spot near his right ear.
Sorry.
I didn't check everything.
There are still many Joseon people in that dungeon.
I also met a woman named Myeong-ja.
This is dangerous. Until sterilization is complete,
don't move from there.
Just touching anthrax can kill you. Don't move until everything is sterile.
Understand?
please help me
Tell Inspector Ishikawa at the police
that I'm here.
Myeong-ja from Chunwolgwan…
I mean, Akiko is trapped here.
He will reward you.
Please.
Please tell Ishikawa that I'm here, okay?
Noisy! Shut up and step back!
However, there was nothing I could do.
Because my situation is the same as theirs.
What are you doing?
Wake up, Josenjing!
Don't vomit anywhere!
Josenjing!
Dirty Josenjing!
There is only one way to get out
from this hell.
Mother…
Forgive your disobedient son.
Don't die casually.
When it's your time to die...
just die.
MOONLIGHT BAR
Who's he?
Who knows.
I don't know who the woman in this picture is.
I only know who drew it.
He is Japanese...
and his job is a painter.
As I remember,
His name is Sachimoto.
What is this?
What are you drawing?
Answer.
Tell me more.
Where do you work and live?
Do you like Chinese food?
Tonight, eight o'clock, in Sahaeru.
Sorry, I'm too busy to eat Chinese food.
Not you, but Sachimoto.
I have an appointment with him tonight at Sahaeru.
- Tonight? - At eight o'clock.
Do not be late.
It seems like you're conducting an interesting experiment.
You destroyed the disease control team
and killed most of Joseon's subjects.
Surely this all corresponds to the result, right?
What do you mean?
Tokyo has been reduced to ashes due to recent air strikes.
We need powerful weapons,
who could turn the tide of this war.
What if we take advantage of the creatures below?
We can't judge yet.
What is the level of intelligence?
whether he can be tamed or not,
all this cannot be confirmed yet.
Everything that lives in the world
in the end will be tame too.
Just like we tamed Joseon.
LABORATORY WASH ROOM
I've only been to the second floor of the basement.
It's a dungeon, and Myeong-ja
is on this side.
His guardian?
Every ten meters, there are guards standing guard in pairs.
All armed.
Getting in there is difficult, but getting out is also difficult.
But…
if we manage to get it out, is there a way out of here?
Before there is a signal from outside, wait in your respective positions.
You too, return to your troops.
No. I won't go back there.
If they start looking for you in the ward, it will be more troublesome.
In fact, these two people could be caught.
If so all plans will fail.
We can all escape.
I'm certain.
If so, see you soon.
Please…
Do not forget me.
Is Dad aware?
- This structure. - I realized.
This is similar to the underground laboratories in Manchuria.
It's worth a try, right?
You remember, don't you, what happened in Manchuria?
The thing that happened in that underground laboratory.
How bad things happened to them.
Chae-ok.
If it's the same here...
Shouldn't we do something this time?
The signal is coming, so let's wait.
BUTIK HANAZAKI
GYOEUMDANG
It's been 30 minutes. Actually, who are you waiting for?
Women.
Who gave?
"Woman". Not "wanipa".
He's coming!
Thank you. Buy food.
Oh, sorry…
Ah, who is this?
Jang Dai-sang from the Golden Treasure House?
Can you move aside?
I'm busy now.
WELCOME. Please come in.
Isn't there something we should finish first?
Okay.
Come to Griya Harta Emas tomorrow morning. Satisfied?
- Sir. - Are you hungry? This is Joseon hotteok .
- Eat it. - Good.
Delicious!
The Josenjing are serious about food.
Will he be okay?
Mori.
Our job is only to monitor it, not interfere.
Monitor, report,
and execute the command.
Just that.
- Good. - Eat it.
Wait a minute.
Wait.
This can be fixed with money.
Why are you holding a knife?
Calm down. How much do you need?
Gold Treasure House.
- What? - Leave it to us.
So I didn't kill him.
No kidding.
I'm busy at the moment.
At eight o'clock, I have an appointment with a very important person.
Look at this, the time has passed.
I went first.
Hey, think carefully about who is important to you.
Sorry, but you're not my taste.
Why do you want to be important to me?
- Hi, Jang Dai-sang. - Tae Sang!
Not Jang Dai-sang, but Tae-sang!
Try calling again.
You want to die?
Impossible.
No matter how unlucky I am,
there's no way I want to die at the hands of a bastard like you.
Stupid bastard!
What's that?
What are you guys doing?
Excuse me.
I'm Jang Tae-sang from the Golden Treasure House.
These criminals
attacked me for no reason.
Help me, Mr. Police.
I'm just teaching this impudent Josenjing a lesson.
Please pass, Mr. Police.
Look, they're holding knives.
I could die!
Do accordingly. Don't make trouble.
Good.
Policeman.
Policeman!
Do you understand now?
This is Joseon, where you live.
And you're just trash who has a lot of money.
You're just
Josenjing
meaningless and despicable.
Rubbish.
Bos!
You are right.
This is Joseon, where I live.
So, don't overdo it.
Because I'm already annoyed.
Look.
Josenjing never dies!
That kid is strong too.
It can't be like this.
If we delay any longer, we will not have time to do anything.
I'd better go out and see the situation.
If the structure is the same as Manchuria,
there must be ventilation leading to the underground laboratory.
- And that... - Leads to the roof.
Chae-ok.
If the situation is not good, you have to get out of there immediately. Understand?
I will be back.
Fast! Go quickly!
What's the blueprint?
I got it as ordered, but is this true?
Aren't we throwing it into harm's way?
Let's not interfere. The decision is in the hands of Tuan Jang.
- What is Tae-sang up there? - It is currently unavailable. What's up?
There is an urgent matter, Where is Tae-sang now?
Who knows.
- Tae Sang! - Mr Jang!
- Mr. Jang!
Wait a minute. I will go up first.
Good.
Now, you got stabbed by a knife too?
Good grief. Damn.
Which scoundrel dared to attack Mr. Jang?
Wait. I'll report it to the police station.
We go to the hospital first.
Get the car ready.
Ah, right, hospital. Okay.
What about the blueprint for Ongseong Hospital?
I've got it!
Now it's below.
This is not the time to look for that.
I've bandaged it, but you have to go to the hospital.
True. Go to the hospital first.
I'm fine. Show me the blueprint first.
This cannot be cured with disinfectants and antibiotics.
My appointment is at ten.
- There's no time left. - Mr Jang.
Quickly provide the blueprint!
Tae Sang! Please!
What is more important than your life?
For Myeong-ja's sake, are you willing to be stabbed with a knife like this?
- Ms. Nawol. - Already. Be quiet.
Shut your mouth and go to the hospital. Understand?
Of.
You're right. Who is Myeong-ja anyway?
But,
those bastards made it an excuse to take everything from me.
Without shame, they assume that everything they have is theirs.
They even robbed our country. What can't they take?
You are right.
Even so…
I will fight until the end.
Even if they beat me, I will protect what I have!
If I keep running from threats and let them take what's mine,
they will act up even more.
That's right, right?
You
stabbed by a knife.
Your wounds are serious. Understand?
Wounds like this don't hurt.
It wasn't the knife that hurt me...
but my self-esteem
Are you Yeong-chun?
Sorry for visiting late at night.
Actually, there was someone who really wanted to meet Mr. Jang.
GROCERY STORE
Mr. Wang, open the door. I'm Mr Gu from Griya Harta Emas!
Mr. Money!
LABORATORY
Sachimoto.
I came home from buying new equipment.
I bring a lot. Can we come in?
After placing the equipment, he will leave.
Can't. Only staff can enter the hospital.
If so, just report it to the Hospital Director.
What?
This equipment was requested by Director Ichiro.
How else?
If you don't let us in, you have to report to him yourself.
Do you want to save us?
What?
I saw you coming down from the vent earlier.
Save us.
Get us out of here. Please.
Go up.
Fuck!
Get out.
Good grief.
I almost suffocated to death.
Here.
CLOSED
How?
Are you sure this is the place?
As far as I know, this is the only cleaning room on the first floor.
The signal.
It seems we are not on the same page because the signal is too late.
The night breeze in Joseon is very cool.
- Let's drink here. - Okay.
I found whiskey in the warehouse.
So, I stole it.
Everyone, be quiet.
Don't shoot.
Who are you?
What is this?
Chae-ok!
Sorry.
I'm late.
Very beautiful.
They succeeded.
Who knows.
I hope so.
I don't know what happened either.
Of course. Fireworks are prohibited in Gyeongseong.
Fine, I understand.
I'll find out who did it and report it.
Ready.
- I'm going to the police station. Prepare. - Good.
Very beautiful.
Did you find Myeong-ja?
Where is he? Did you bring it?
Get out.
Be careful.
Now.
But…
where is Myeong-ja?
Get the kids out first.
What do you mean?
Why suddenly...
If you take them out, I'll look for Myeong-ja.
Is there anything you want to show?
Of.
Get out.
Hurry out!
What is this?
I will make the creature know my face.
Every time I ring the bell, he will remember that I fed him.
He will know who his master is, and who he must obey.
It will be tame.
