"HARBIN"
In 1905, Japan stripped the Korean Empire of its diplomatic rights. The Eulsa Treaty was concluded. The main contents of which included the establishment of the Residency-General.
By this treaty, the Korean Empire was nominally a protectorate of Japan. It became a Japanese colony that effectively lost its sovereignty
Unable to contain their anger, many protested the agreement by immolating themselves, while others mobilized and organized guerrilla resistance.
Jan 17, 1909, Russian Federation
Commander Lee Chang-seop, what do you think?
It means not coming back yet.
We have to assume he's dead.
I'm sure he'll come back alive.
What does it mean to come back alive?
Captured by the Japanese and turned into a spy.
Hey! Lee Sang Seop!
Don't slander him based on unfounded suspicions.
For whom our comrades died,
Forgot?
That was the inevitable intention.
That was a short-sighted and reckless decision!
Commander Lee is right.
Because whatever happens,
I cannot accept Ahn Jung-geun's defense.
Are you okay?
Did you really free the enemy General?
Did any other commanders return alive?
Everyone is waiting for you.
Comrade Ahn,
you're alive!
I knew you'd come back alive.
Huh?
But why is your body in this condition?
What happened to it?
What?
Are you okay?
It's good to see you alive.
Sit here.
How dare you come here?
Comrade, restrain yourself!
No matter what he says,
I will never forgive him.
I didn't come to apologize.
I came because I still have a lot of work to do.
40 days ago, Gyeonghyeong, North Hamgyong Province
How is the situation?
It seems the advance party consisted of 150 soldiers,
They came to build a camp.
There are 70 more of them than us!
We are in a dangerous situation.
Wars are not fought with numbers, but with morale!
We'll fight with a 2-1 strategy.
The strategy isn't bad, but...
We're in a difficult situation.
Their weapons are better than ours.
How are the outposts?
There are two outposts in the north and south.
I will lead the left army.
I will attack the south.
Comrade Kim and I will attack the northern outposts.
In that case,
I'll attack the outpost first.
When the Japanese pursue me,
then both armies will launch a surprise attack together.
Chang-seop,
Wait for my signal.
Okay.
Now!
Run!
Suzuki, stop crying.
Die like a soldier.
Who is he?
Introduce yourself!
I am Lieutenant General Tatsuo Mori of the Imperial Japanese Army!
What is your name?
I am a lieutenant in the volunteer army,
General Ahn Jung-geun.
Is there anything you want to say one last time?
As a soldier, I have done my duty as ordered.
I am not ashamed of this.
Be that as it may,
as a soldier of the Japanese Empire, I wish to die with honor.
I request permission to sacrifice myself voluntarily.
A person without remorse,
is worse than an animal!
You're worse than an animal!
Naïve Koreans,
are you still talking after killing indiscriminately?
Huh?
Damn you!
Comrade Wu!
Leave me alone, I'll cut you all to pieces.
Tell me about your family.
I have a wife and two children.
I'll release you as a prisoner of war.
Go, take the wounded and heal them.
What are you doing?
Comrade Ahn!
I've lost my commander's qualifications.
Let me die with honor.
Lieutenant General Mori!
Don't leave your children orphaned.
Return alive.
Comrade Ahn!
What are you doing?
Huh?
Aren't you afraid of the consequences?
If you free them,
They'll come back stronger and attack.
We'll disarm them before we leave.
Only then will they be freed.
Leaving enemies like this can lead to internal conflicts.
Look at our comrades who laid down their lives.
Huh?
Do you think the others will just sit there silently?
I understand the reason for your anger,
but according to international law,
we are prisoners of our own free will.
I cannot impose the death penalty.
This is brutal cruelty!
Lee Chang Seop! Stop!
The power of international law is fragile against the power of cannonballs!
What are you in the face of these deceitful policies?
Would you let our comrades' sacrifice be in vain?
Is your goal to kill 40 million Japanese?
My goal is to restore Korean sovereignty.
If we have to kill all the Japanese to restore freedom,
I will do it without hesitation.
Such a massacre would destroy us all!
Don't you know what that is?
All of his responsibilities,
It'll be up to you.
Hoeryeong, North Hamgyong Province
Do you also think I made the wrong decision?
Lee Chang-seop left with the volunteer Army,
Our army's losses are not small either.
Crossing the Tuman River and returning to Yanchu...
... won't be easy.
Comrade Wu,
are you still angry at me?
What's the point of being angry?
I'm heading toward town.
Let's see if we can find some food for ourselves.
I'm going too.
You're hurt, relax.
I'll be back soon.
Take some wine with you.
Shouldn't we say goodbye to our fallen comrades?
Of course.
Prepare the cannon.
Yes.
Is it reasonable to say that,
you released the captured enemy general because you were blinded by emotion?
If we recapture that general,
would you do the same again?
Will you make the same decision?
Ahn Jung-geun!
Answer.
You must be held accountable for the destruction of the volunteer Korean Army.
Take responsibility.
You're right. He must be held accountable.
Say something, bastard!
Is there any proof he's not a spy?
Shut up, everyone!
Comrades of the volunteer Korean Army,
holding comrade Ahn's accountable,
we wait until things are clear. It's not too late.
Master Choi Jae-hyung!
Why are you protecting him?
Comrade Lee Chang-seop,
Am I wrong??
Comrade Ahn,
why didn't you go straight back to Yanchu?
Answer.
After escaping to Hoeryong, I tried many times to cross the river,
but I could not get through.
Tuman River, North Hamgyong Province
I tried with all my might to cross the Tuman River and return to Yanchu,
but I had lost the will to survive.
The screams of fellow soldiers on their deathbeds,
and their dismembered bodies,
was chasing me.
I'm lost.
Many comrades have sacrificed their lives for my strong beliefs.
I lose my reason to live.
I try to leave it all behind and die,
and in that moment I realize,
this life of mine,
dedicated to the selfless comrades!
To fulfil this purpose,
I'm still alive.
Well then,
I find my true purpose.
Trampling the Korean Empire,
the leader of the Japanese wolves,
that cunning wolf,
we have to kill.
Ito Hirobumi
considering the close relationship between Japan and Korea,
the mutual happiness and prosperity of both countries,
in order to achieve the goal of permanently securing peace in East Asia,
the decision was made to annex Korea to the Empire of Japan.
As a result, the two countries agreed to sign a merger agreement.
October 16, 42nd year of Meiji emperor (1909)
Dalian, China, October 17, 1909
Ito Hirobumi will arrive in Dalian on October 18. On October 26, he will meet with the Russian Prime Minister at Harbin Station to discuss unification between Japan and Korea.
The ship carrying Ito Hirobumi,
will arrive at Dalian Port at 8:00 PM.
This is a Japanese ID card!
Tickets, please.
After arriving at Dalian Port,
go directly to the store on the second floor.
Go and tell him you're from Vladivostok.
They'll give you weapons.
Have you written a letter to your family?
After the mission,
the newspaper will be moved to Dedong's office in Vladivostok.
Master Choi Jae-hyung will be waiting there.
Good luck!
Their clothes aren't like those of the first-class passengers, and I heard them speaking Korean.
My birthplace,
where mother is dead,
has it been 20 years?
Ah...
So who did you write the letter to?
Do you have a secret wife?
What can't be?
A beautiful wife and children are real life!
What kind of luck do you have?
As the saying goes, you can change fate, but you can't change the wording of the rules.
I'm not lucky enough to have a wife and children.
Even then,
if you find a good life partner,
it's a man's duty to raise a family!
Hi, Dad!
So why did you leave your family and come here?
You're right.
I'm ashamed of myself, but,
did we have any other choice?
Such is our destiny.
Are you Japanese?
Give me your ID.
Where are you from?
I'm from Bongcheon.
I'm not asking you.
The author will answer.
Where are you from?
We're members of the same group!
We all come from Bongcheon.
Odo Konosuke,
Where are you going?
Tell me your occupation and age?
Get out!
This way! Come quickly!
- Run away. - What?
Go!
This way!
Get out of the way!
They were plotting to assassinate Prime Minister Ito at the port of Dalian.
Are they Koreans?
Yes, they're all Koreans.
It is said that Ahn Jung-geun was among them.
Ahn Jung-geun?
Yes.
Are you sure?
Yes.
Tell me quickly. Hurry.
Vladivostok, Russia
Speak of the devil...
I see the devil has appeared too!
Why did you come?
Comrade Ahn.
Sit down.
You've suffered a lot.
I'm really embarrassed.
Where are Comrade Wu and Comrade Kim?
I still don't know anything.
We arrived a little late, avoiding the Japanese soldiers.
Are you hurt anywhere?
I'm fine.
Where is Comrade Wu?
Still missing.
When the reunion phase is over,
let's discuss the next plan!
Ito Lushun Railway to Manchuria,
stop, turn into Darian, Fengtian,
arrives in Changchun on the 25th.
We'll go there too.
Will Changchun change trains?
Changchun is the last station on the Manchurian Railway.
Japanese Railway from Lushun to Changchun,
The Eastern Manchurian Railway from Changchun to Harbin!
It's controlled by Russia,
and this railway line will be converted from standard to broad gauge,
In addition, Russia will also send a special train.
Then it will arrive in Harbin on the morning of the 26th.
We have one week.
Excellent!
We have to kill him in Harbin.
Why are you giving orders?
I understand that Comrade Commander Ahn Jung-geun
is in charge of this mission.
Comrade Kim,
Comrade Ahn's identity has already been leaked to the enemy.
In order for him to continue this mission to the end,
don't you think it will be difficult?
He was right.
From now on,
it would be better to leave the responsibility of command to Lee Chang-seop.
Comrade Ahn,
What do you think?
I understand.
That you understand,
I'm relieved.
Also, there's a task for you.
Get me some explosives.
No matter how skilled a marksman you are,
you can't kill Ito with a pistol bullet.
Okay?
If you can bring me explosives,
then I'll kill Ito with my own hands.
T-minus 7 days
China
Your Excellency, I am proud to be part of your trip to Harbin!
I heard that an unexpected incident occurred.
I am sorry.
The Kanto Governor-General's Office has dispatched its most capable officer.
The incident is under investigation.
Who targeted me?
The incident is still under investigation.
I have ordered security to be strengthened to prevent any incidents.
The Civic Reception at Harbin Station has been cancelled.
It would be best if you entered Harbin quickly.
Tell them to prepare as planned.
Yes?
They want me to back down out of fear. That can't be done.
We will continue with our plan!
Yamada,
Yes, sir.
Do you know why I hesitated for so long to unify Korea?
For centuries, Joseon was
ruled by foolish kings and corrupt scholars...
but the people of that country are our greatest obstacle!
Even if you don't get anything from the rulers,
when the state is in crisis, a miraculous sense of patriotism is awakened in them.
When the Toyotomi invaded Joseon 300 years ago, the rebel forces seeking independence were still forming.
Even here in Manchuria, the volunteer army continues to cause headaches.
Do you know how much money we've invested in Joseon so far?
Those commoners still harbor hostility toward Japan.
I don't understand how to resolve this.
But like Yi San-shin from 300 years ago,
It's hard to find a hero like that in Joseon today.
Thank you, ma'am.
I won't forget your kindness.
Follow me.
I'll stay here for a while.
And this place,
keep it a secret from the others.
Although Vladivostok is under Russian control,
The eyes of the Japanese are everywhere.
With Comrade Li's appointment,
Don't be angry.
Is Comrade Wu alive?
Yes.
Be patient a little longer.
How will you get explosives?
From Ms. Gong.
You need to ask for help.
Ms. Gong...
Ms. Gong has contacts with Chinese rebel leaders.
It won't be difficult for her.
Have you seen her recently?
We haven't seen each other since last time.
Ms. Gong's husband died three years ago.
Comrade Park and you fought together in Musan, right?
Ms. Gong also fought.
If it weren't for Ms. Gong,
Surely many more would have died.
We couldn't even recover his body.
I heard the good news.
You were in Yanji.
I'm wandering here and there like a gust of wind!
Why are you looking for me?
We need explosives to blow up a train car.
So many explosives,
It's impossible to get to Vladivostok!
Give me some time.
We don't have time.
So tomorrow with me,
let's go to Sangmok Village.
Comrade Park Jeom-chul is there.
Jeom-chul is still alive?
He's now the leader of the thieves.
I learned through confidential sources that a small newspaper based in Vladivostok,
was founded by a Korean named Choi Jeo-hyun.
We can't do anything we want because they have Russian citizenship.
Vladivostok is under Russian control, so,
the Russian government will need cooperation to catch the anti-Japanese elements.
What's the name of that newspaper?
Daedong Public News Agency!
After arriving in Vladivostok,
we will immediately request the cooperation of the Russian military.
Understood.
I gave up.
*You* have given up?
Have you ever heard that a dog's tail is straight?
If the country is free,
let's drink together on that day!
Will we survive until then?
If I die before then,
then that day will be my grave,
Come and pour me a glass.
I won't live until then.
I'm pouring.
What?
Comrade Wu!
- Comrade Ahn! - You're alive!
Are you okay?
I'm very hungry.
Let's eat first.
Don't stop pretending to see ghosts.
It feels uncomfortable.
Looks like I'll live a few more days!
But...
why is Comrade Li here?
From now on,
you will lead this mission.
What?
In this regard,
I can't agree.
The decision has already been made.
Ah, Comrade Ahn started it.
Hmm!
Comrade Ahn must finish it.
Since Jung-geun couldn't finish the work,
I had to come here.
Whatever it is,
Comrade Wu,
why are you so late?
Damn it!
I got on the wrong train.
Chegagu Station,
When I got on the train to Vladivostok,
I accidentally got on the train to Changchun,
that's why I'm a little late.
You're back alive, that's a lot.
Hey,
your words are as sharp as a razor!
Comrade Wu,
You must be very tired. Take a rest today.
Comrade Kim will go with you.
Okay.
Let's go.
Comrade Kim, let's have a drink before we go!
Aren't you feeling tired?
Looks like drinking a little will help you sleep better!
Oh Deok-soon!
I should be left out of this mission!
What are you talking about?
Do you believe what Comrade Woo Seok-sun said?
Comrade Wu,
are you saying he's become a spy?
It's been a long time.
Don't you think he might have been captured by Japanese soldiers?
You're hesitating unnecessarily!
Chang-seop,
don't rely on assumptions without irrefutable evidence.
Don't slander your fellow soldiers without solid proof!
It was because of your simplicity that you let the enemy general go!
Oh, Jung-geun,
the independence movement,
it's not as easy as child's play!
Come to your senses.
What are you two thinking?
If Comrade Wu doesn't participate, I won't participate either!
Ahn Jung-geun!
Don't let personal feelings damage the mission.
If you can't trust your comrades,
then this mission will never see the light of success.
Comrade Kim,
are we truly free?
If we become part of Japanese history,
Then no one will remember us.
Small efforts can have a big impact!
If I have to die, I will die.
Even so, I will write my name in gold letters in history!
I see Comrade Kim's dreams are very big!
Eh!
Comrade Wu, don't you have any dreams?
Dreaming in the midst of fighting is a luxury!
When you die, everything ends!
What's the point of gaining all these names and fame?
Then why did you participate in the independence movement, Comrade Wu?
When I was a child,
those bastards looked down on us with great contempt,
that's why I sincerely wish for the country to be destroyed.
I always cursed them with this.
But who would have thought,
would something like this really happen?
Oh, if only I hadn't said those words.
Comrade Wu,
you think the country was destroyed by your curse, huh?
Thank you.
What for?
In the Shin Ansan War,
were it not for you, maybe I wouldn't have survived this long.
What's there to be thankful for among comrades?
Thank you very much.
If you're so grateful,
if you have the chance, save my life next time.
Okay.
I promise!
I'll save your life once, Comrade Kim.
T-minus 5 days
Fengtian, China
What about those who attacked me?
As I told you before, Lieutenant General Mori is busy,
investigating this incident in detail.
Haven't they been caught yet?
No, I'm sorry.
Bunch of idiots!
Joseon was under corrupt rulers for hundreds of years.
In my three years of government,
how much Joseon has visibly improved.
And you mean they are targeting me?
Ms. Gong, how are you?
We've waited a long time.
This is Comrade Kim Sang-hyun.
Nice to meet you!
I'm Kim Sang-hyun.
I've heard a lot about you.
Well, let's go.
Manchuria, China
How far is it to Sangmok Village?
We'll be there before tomorrow night.
Jeom-chul is right.
What happened to the robbery?
Now he leads the largest bandit group in Zhilin.
The man who saved the homeland from Japanese occupation,
He wanted to fight tooth and nail for its restoration,
Ha ha!
How did he become a thief?
He was once a very extraordinary man!
In the past, all of Manchuria was our land,
But now look,
there isn't a single piece of land where we can spend a night in peace.
What's the point of talking about the past?
A cold wind blows.
It's been a long time since I last saw you, comrade.
This is Hirobumi,
Arriving in Manchuria.
I heard Japan is coming to discuss the annexation of Korea.
And in such a situation, we,
I can't just sit idly by.
- Right. - That's why I'm saying it,
Give us some explosives.
Yes.
To blow up a train car.
If you give him enough explosives,
Hah!
Then we can take him out.
Comrade,
For Korean independence!
You and I,
that comrade,
we fought together in Musan.
How much more fresh blood must be shed before we can taste freedom?
It's truly unimaginable to reunite with old friends after so long.
It feels good.
Okay.
Let's play a game.
This game,
the Russians play.
They call it roulette.
With a gun to your head like that,
you, one by one,
take turns pulling the trigger.
If you win this game,
then I'll give you explosives.
Brother!
What do you say?
Jung-geun,
Hah!
Deok-su, will you play?
- Me, uh, - Huh?
Calm down.
What does our respected scholar say?
The warriors who fought for freedom,
I see you trembling with fear.
Huh?
Freedom!
For freedom, I'm willing to cut off my hand!
My last light is also going out,
but this cursed world won't even try to change.
Then there'll be nothing to see.
- Comrade, - Park Jeom-chul!
Comrade,
To the comrades who sacrificed their lives in the war,
Never again will you neglect the sacrifice!
How long are you going to stay drunk like this?
Will you spend the rest of your life like this?
I am Musan,
One eye and,
I lost my little brother,
Are you our killer?
Can't you hear the screams of your comrades?
I'm ashamed to face my brother's wife!
Had I got to him sooner...
I should have died.
He should have lived.
Brother,
give me the explosives.
My sister,
I'm lost.
Bring them explosives!
The Russian troops have arrived.
- Tell them to wait. - Yes!
Where are you taking the explosives?
To Harbin.
Ito will arrive in Harbin in three days.
Security will be tight in Harbin.
Where better to hit Ito than Harbin?
He changes trains, Changchun, security there is lax!
Comrade Kim is right.
We're going to Changchun.
Ito will arrive in Changchun in two days.
And it will take us two days to get to Changchun from here.
In preparation for the expedition to Changchun,
the rush will be too much.
We have three days.
We've made the decision on Harbin, so we'll proceed accordingly.
After arriving in Harbin, Kim will find Seong-baek.
Who is Kim Seong-baek?
President of the Harbin Korean Association.
He will arrange your accommodations.
It would be good if Ms. Gong remained here.
We have explosives in our hands.
With this, your duty is also fulfilled.
I'll go to Harbin too.
Ms. Gong, you don't need to take so many risks.
Please stay here.
Harbin is under the Russian Empire!
Is there anyone here who knows Russian better than me?
Ms. Gong is right.
Since Master Choi Jae-hyung has to stay here,
Then it would be best if Ms. Gong came with us.
Let's go!
The train to Harbin will leave in an hour.
Let's go!
Shall we attack now?
Not yet.
Ahn Jung-geun is still missing.
Trapped!
We're trapped.
I saw it too.
We will cover you.
You're leaving with Ms. Gong.
Jung Geun.
You have to finish this.
I'll attack first.
I'll do it from the other side.
I'll cover the above from the roof.
Ms. Gong, drive.
I'll cover you from behind.
I understand.
Commander!
I caught one of them!
Where's Ahn Jung-geun?
If you say where, I won't kill you.
Piglet.
Tell me where Ahn Jung-geun is.
Don't you recognize me?
When I wanted to kill you,
Ahn Jung-geun saved your life back then.
I should have killed you then,
I'm asking again,
Where is Ahn Jung-geun?
Ahn Jung-geun.
Ahn Jung-geun, Ahn Jung-geun,
Don't even mention Ahn Jung-geun's name!
How about yours.
I have no interest in killing Ito.
Your real goal is to catch Ahn Jeong-geun.
Because,
you had to beg for your life from someone of the lower class,
and to add to that humiliation, you want to kill Ahn Jung-geun!
But you know,
Ahn Jung-geun,
an incomparable person,
he can't compare to a scoundrel like you.
You know that, right?
Khankir Pola.
What happened to the other comrades?
Everyone's scattered.
There must be a spy among us.
They were waiting for the explosives to arrive,
then they launched a surprise attack to capture everyone.
Comrade Ahn,
this mission is cancelled,
Let's plan the next one!
No.
I can't stop now.
As long as we're together,
this mission will not succeed as long as there are spies.
Even so, I can't back down now.
Your decision,
the lives of other comrades depend on it.
There's no guarantee Ito will ever return to Manchuria.
We're all dead,
I can go.
We won't achieve anything if we don't fight to the end.
So many.
We've lost many comrades.
I'm afraid of losing more comrades!
I'm sorry.
Then,
let's stop here.
No one,
no one will blame you.
What about the comrades who died?
Master,
if we don't make sacrifices,
then no one will remember them.
I'm from Vladivostok.
I'm Kim Seong-baek.
Not going to Harbin
What happened to Comrade Ahn?
I don't know.
Where are the explosives?
There's a change of plans.
Instead of Harbin,
we'll attack at Chyegagu.
Now we have to go to Chyegagu by train.
Where is Comrade Ahn?
Where is he?
He's waiting in the hallway.
Listen, Lieutenant General Mori.
There's not much we can do,
Harbin is under Russian control!
The day the Prime Minister comes here,
that day, the Russian troops will scatter like locusts at Harbin Station.
That's not enough.
All railway stations where the Prime Minister passes must be closed.
Public access to the stations must be prohibited.
Meanwhile,
Prime Minister Ito personally gave the instructions.
Everything,
will proceed as planned.
Your Excellency, Ambassador,
are you sure of the Prime Minister's instructions?
How many times do I have to tell you?
Yes.
For a stupid Korean,
all of the Prime Minister's events should be cancelled?
Does this make any sense?
Are you saying that we have spies among them?
Yes.
They have formed an alliance.
Who is their leader?
Ahn Jung-geun!
Simply arresting Ahn Jung-geun won't bring any solution.
I know, Your Excellency!
We must eradicate them.
They're coming.
Have you entered any rooms?
In room number two.
Ito will arrive in Harbin tomorrow.
To succeed in the mission, you must first find the spy.
I'm sure I'll find a connection here!
Did you inform them about the mission's location?
The attack site was moved from Harbin to Zhigao.
I told the three of them this.
Wait!
Let's see who the spy is among them?
Are you sure the attack is in Chyegagu?
Yes.
Where is Ahn Jung-geun?
We'll be waiting for you in Chyegagu.
Catch him!
We'll shoot if you don't surrender!
Wait!
Where is Ahn Jung-geun?
I don't know.
We were supposed to meet in Vladivostok!
Please spare my life!
Please!
I'll do whatever you say!
Eat.
I'm telling you to eat.
Isn't it delicious?
Well, tell me!
Where is Ahn Jung-geun?
I really don't know.
I did what you said.
Not being able to catch up with Ahn Jung-geun isn't my failure.
Which place were you supposed to visit in Harbin?
They were supposed to find Kim Seong-baek.
Oh?
Who is Kim Seong-baek?
President of the Harbin Korean Association.
Did everyone agree to meet there?
Go to Harbin.
In this situation,
Do you think Ahn Jung-geun will come to Harbin?
Ahn Jung-geun is not one to give up!
Go to Harbin and find out Ahn Jung-geun's plan.
I understand!
Eat.
Hello, Comrade Kim,
How long will it take to get to Chyegagu?
An hour!
Ms. Gong is nowhere to be seen.
Ms. Gong got off at Uja Station.
She decided to withdraw from the mission.
Actually, Mrs. Gong's husband,
fought with Comrade Ahn in Musan.
After the Japanese killed him, no one found his body.
We're Ms. Gong,
We can't lose!
Did you find the spy?
I know whom.
Who is he?
Kim Sang Hyun.
What will you do with Kim Sang-hyun?
Comrade Wu will decide on that.
T-minus one day
Gaega Area
What is that?
Railway Security Force Camp!
Russian troops have also been deployed there.
Where is Comrade Ahn?
Come with me.
Well?
The mission location has changed from Harbin to Zhigagu.
At the end station?
It is the junction of the Eastern and Southern China Railway.
The train carrying Prime Minister Ito will make a brief stop at the crossing!
We have to wait inside the camp.
What about Ahn Jung-geun?
We're waiting for him in Chyegagu.
Are you sure?
I'm sure.
Why are you so late?
The train was late, so there was nothing we could do.
Come with me.
Sit down.
The special train sent by Russia yesterday,
has left Changchun with Ito.
Today at 6 a.m.,
it will arrive at Chegagu Station.
Are you sure the train will stop here?
Zhigao Station is the junction of the Eastern and South China Railways,
So we have to wait on the double-track platform.
How much time do we have?
15 minutes.
After a 15-minute break,
You will leave for Harbin.
Where is Comrade Ahn?
Very soon.
8-round revolver!
You have to work very close.
I have to be ten steps away from the target.
There's no escape.
I know that.
Go to Cheongju with Kim Sang-hyun.
For this mission to succeed,
you must be caught by Mori.
Are you using me as bait?
Can you do it?
What will happen to Kim Sang-hyun?
What should we do?
The traitors must be eliminated.
Why did you do that?
Why did you become a spy?
You think if you can kill Ito, you'll gain freedom, huh?
If you have a chance to talk to Mori,
I can save you too.
Comrade Wu,
let's survive together.
Huh?
Do you want to live betraying your comrades?
So you want to die here with everyone?
At the end of the day, we'll have to die like dogs.
No one will remember us.
Kim Sang-hyun,
Have you forgotten that I saved your life?
Huh?
You promised,
you will save my life at least once.
Can you really shoot me?
Shoot.
I'm telling you to shoot.
They're inside the station.
I'm sorry.
I just,
I wanted to live.
We're still alive thanks to our selfless comrades.
Don't forget.
Where is Ahn Jung-geun?
Answer.
Answer!
Where is Ahn Jung-geun? Where?!
Harbin
October 26, 1909, Harbin Station
After arriving here,
Russian Finance Minister Kokovtsov,
will sit with you in a meeting on the train.
"Long live Korean independence!"
How do you say it in Russian?
Why do you ask?
Since Harbin is under Russian control,
we have to speak Russian so they can understand.
"Long live Korean independence!"
Sounds okay?
Yes.
They'll understand.
This could be our last chance!
Dedicated comrades,
help us from heaven!
Thank you.
Welcome to Russia.
You probably know that Harbin was the land of the Qing Dynasty.
It's only temporarily under Russian control.
Am I right?
So, whose land is Joseon?
Joseon!
Tell me, whose land will it be?
Back off!
Move it!
"Long live Korean independence!"
What happened?
We succeeded.
This news is for the world.
We need to print a news report to inform everyone.
What should I start with?
It begins like this:
On October 26, 1909,
Lieutenant General of the Volunteer Army of Korea, Ahn Jung-geun,
in Harbin,
shot and killed,
Ito Hirobumi.
March 26, 1910 Lushun Prison, China
Where have you been all this time?
I've been wandering here and there.
Have you forgotten why I let you go?
Were it not for me, you'd rot in prison for the rest of your life!
Remember that!
I'll definitely remember that!
There's a new mission for you.
Do you know Kim Goo?
That's another new nuisance!
Your mission is,
to approach Kim Gu.
Take it!
I'm asking you to take it!
Also,
Wu Deok-sun has been released from prison.
I heard he swore to kill me if he found me.
Did you hear anything?
I heard Choi will be coming to Harbin to meet Jae-hyun tomorrow.
At a safe house in Harbin.
What's the address?
Let's protect Kim Sang-hyun!
The traitors must be eliminated.
Comrade Wu,
Let's give him a chance to make amends.
He's still trembling with fear,
I think he'll pull through!
The deeper the night,
dawn approaches.
We need to light the torch of light.
That's when the people will gather.
When the people gather,
we will run toward the light with torches in hand.
No matter how many obstacles come,
if you lose your morale, you won't be able to achieve your goal.
No matter how many times we fail, we won't stop until we achieve our goal.
Next year, the year after, a decade or a century later,
No matter how long it takes until Korea's independence is restored,
We will not stop.
This is how we will move forward,
Quickly, slowly, with preparation,
in future plans,
when all our preparations are complete,
only then can we achieve the desired goal.
We will not give up until we achieve our goals, overcoming all obstacles and moving forward.
We carry the torch of light in our hands,
we will walk in the darkness!
After Ito Hirobumi's death, Japanese repression became more severe.
The independence fighters did not give up and continued their fight to the end.
After 36 years, we finally achieved independence.
