2009: Lost Memories Page #2

Synopsis: There are breakpoints in the history, the result of a single event may change the whole course... In 1909, an assassination attempt of a Japanese governor fails - the assassin was shot by a soldier. Now, in 2009, Korea is just another state of the Japan Empire and Seoul has become a major city. A Korean resistance group called Hureisenjin is formed to fight for liberty and independence. Two cops, a Japanese and a Korean (who denies his heritage) are investigating the actions of this "terrorist" group. And their work lead them to an artifact of the ancient Korean religion of "Sun and Moon".

about this case?

If I had Korean blood...

I would understand

how you feel

But let's be realistic

You and I are Japanese

You don't need to get emotional

about something like that

Sakamoto!

I've never thought

of you as a Korean

Aha! You drag me all

the way to this smelly dump...

Being in Korean districts

always gives me the creeps

I just got here and

was having a smoke

I already had dinner

You used to love sushi

What happened?

Like father, like son

You love sushi just like your father

Masao loved sushi, too

when he was at your age

Don't talk about my father

- Sakamoto!

- Please...

Your father was

a great police officer

Then he wouldn't have been

shot by a fellow officer

Sakamoto!

Yes, I'm not being

very smart today

I should've just congratulated you

I know it's late, Sakamoto!

Happy birthday!

Is your

investigation going well?

We're still just getting started

Did you know there was

a similar case before?

That time, too, we couldn't

figure out Hureisenjin's motives

Year 1985

The Vladivostok case

Hureisenjin activities

What are you staring at?

I was wondering

if it was related to this case

Really?

Hideyo!

Why don't you get

some new glasses?

They're not pretty but

my wife bought them for me...

She likes them

Then it can't be helped

Here, the picture

you asked for

Oh, thanks!

- What is it?

- We over looked a simple detail

This thing is over

where it was

originally displayed

So?

It's rock

so it's heavy and

Look how big it is! There's no way

it moved that far during the shootout

Think about the guy

who tried to escape

They left this morning

What do you mean?

The rest of the

exhibition's cancelled

and everything is being moved back

to Japan earlier than scheduled

What is that a**hole?

Mission complete!

Move out!

Mission complete!

Move out, K1!

Answer me, K1!

K1!

Sakamoto!

Let's go!

K-team!

Move out!

This was the motive

for the Ito Hall incident!

That's the motivation!

The so called "Lunar Soul"

Extremely ancient. Exact age unknown

The Inoue Foundation excavated

excavated it in 1923

The excavation site was

at Wandal Mountain near Harbin

It was used in

religious ceremonies

Why would they steal

something so useless?

That's the key question

We figured out that

Finally, Hureisenjin got a "Lunar Sou"

The Lunar Soul was their goal

But still don't know

why they needed it

This is a list of similar cases

Anniversary Hall bombing

of the Vladivostok Barge

One incident in 2005, two in 2006

five from 2007 to date including this

And they are all connected

to the Inoue Foundation

Their goal is

the Inoue Foundation?

It can't be just a coincidence

The two organizations

must be related somehow

There's no other

logical explanation

A full investigation into...

the Inoue Foundation is necessary

in order to find some answers

Investigation?

The Inoue Foundation

is no easy match

Hasty action without solid

evidence is unacceptable

The Inoue Foundation?

Scared?

Sakamoto, did you get

the Commissioner's permission?

The higher you get

the scarier things get

Even with solid evidence

The Commissioner will hesitate

But you can't investigate without

the Commissioner's permission

You saw the record on the

Vladivostok case 24 years ago, right?

The case where the Hureisenjin

tried to hijack the barge?

On the report it says

they were after semiconductors

But there were other things

on the barge. You know what?

More Inoue

Foundation artifacts?

Yes! The rock thing that was being

shipped to Japan from Harbin

The huge thing that Inoue wanted!

That was on the barge

That's what the Hureisenjin were after?

Yes!

What does that have

to do with this case?

Harbin!

Harbin?

Both the big rock artifact and

the Lunar Soul were found in Harbin

The conflict between the Hureisenjin and the

Inoue Foundation must be related to that artifact

I'm not sure how this fits in

but it's too strange to be a coincidence

Harbin is where the attempted

assassination of Ito Hirobumi took place...

It was Inoue who

saved Ito at that time

What do you want from me?

Please tell us. I can't find any

info about that artifact anywhere

It's been erased from the Foundation's

collection list. They have it, don't they?

I said I don't know...

What are you trying to hide?

You think it's

justifiable to barge in here

and demand info about

something from 24 years ago?

I'm sorry, sir. We'll make an official

request for your cooperation later

We'll meet with

the Chairman in person and...

This is unacceptable!

Who do you think you are to treat

the Inoue Foundation like a criminal?

Why are you avoiding answering?

Wasn't the thing on the boat

shipped from Harbin?

Sakamoto!

what's wrong with you?

Calm down!

What did you say your name was?

Sakamoto Masayuki

Now I remember

Yes, there was a Korean police officer

The Hureisenjin paid him off

A corrupt cop...

That has nothing to do

with my question!

A fellow officer

shot him, I believe...

- Answer the question!

- Sakamoto Masao!

- What is on that ship?

- I said I don't know!

I heard his son

became a cop, too...

Sakamoto!

- What's wrong with you?

- What!

This attitude

it's not like you!

You saw that too

He's hiding

something for sure!

That's why you got so upset?

That's why you attacked

him without thinking?

Listen, we are police officers

We have to be objective

Don't drag your petty feelings

about your father into this!

What?

All right

My father was a corrupt cop.

He was a

Hureisenjin dog...!

A filthy cowardly traitor!

That's what you want to hear?

You want to despise me?

Fine, laugh away!

There's tainted blood

running through me

Sakamoto!

Calling your feelings "petty"

was bad of me. Sorry

I'm solving this case

Harbin International Airport

Congratulations!

Ancient Koreans worshipped

the sun and the moon

This is where the templestone

the altar where rituals to...

the Sun god Haemosoo

were carried out

Professor Ono!

What is the Lunar Soul?

It's the knife used to cut off

the head of the sacrificial animal

They called it the Lunar Soul because

it contained the spirit of the moon

The Lunar Soul...

it's a beautiful name, isn't it?

That was 20 years ago

Everyone here was against it

but they were adamant

People said

there would be a curse...

No one lives here now...

That's right!

It was the Inoue Foundation

Commissioner's

He's the one

Saigo Shojiro!

Say hello

This is Mr. Inoue Kenji!

Don't move!

Do you know me?

You must know me

JBI agent Sakamoto Masayuki

And also?

A traitor who turns his gun

on his own people

How can a criminal be

defending her people?

A criminal?

Then you're saying

your father is a criminal too?

We're Just trying to
