Why are you shivering?

Your body's on fire.

Come here.

What is this?

It's a good luck charm called

Gwe-bul-no-ri-gae.

My mother made it for me.

Don't touch it.

It's my charm. I will get unlucky.

I envy you.

I don't have a mother.

She died giving birth

to my brother.

Really?

How old are you?

I'm fifteen. You?

I'm fifteen too.

Same age.

- Let's be friends?

- Sure.

You know, before I was taken away

I always wanted to travel to

Gyeongsung by train.

Really?

I have five younger siblings

and the youngest is only a baby.

I was so sick of them.

I have no siblings.

lam all alone.

Really?!

Wow! Lucky.

Your parents

must have adored you.

No way!

My dad cherishes me

but my mom was mean to me.

Well I wish

I had a mom to tell me off.

Really?

Didn't your mother make

that for you?

Yes she did.

I know.

Every night after she hit me,

she rubbed my legs and said sorry.

I know she cared for me.

She touched my chest when I slept and told me

that I am all grown up and smiled.

Are you crying?

What?

I don't cry.

My mom said if I stay strong,

I will return home.

I envy you.

Here. Just for once...

You need to give it back to me

when we get off the train.

No it's okay.

You keep it.

I got separated with so many girls

I've talked with on the way here.

So if we get separated

I think I will regret being

so mean to you.

So hold it.

Okay... Thank you...

Get off quickly!

Hey you, all of you here,

you there you,

you, and you there.

Get out!

Hurry up!

1943, Mudan River Jilin, China

Welco...

Oh if it isn't you Songhee.

How have you been?

So the bad dream

I had last night foretold of your visit.

You will be in trouble

for teasing a shaman.

The fact that

I am alive is trouble in itself.

I better tease more.

Sister, I am here to be measured

for some new clothes.

You can still sew right?

Ugh.

- Where is your son?

- He's gone to the market.

By the way, who is she?

She's a new shaman

in our temple.

Really?

Would you fit her

a set of clothes too?

There.. all done.

- Her?

- Yes.

Auntie can you measure me too?

Your mother made

no mention of you.

More reason to measure me, too.

Eunkyung gets measured but not me?

I have seniority!

Give me that.

Give it to me quickly.

It's nice to finally meet you all.

This is where you will be

staying from now on.

Sit!

From now on you will

only speak and hear Japanese.

You will call me Father

and call her Mother.

But.. what is this place?

Uh this is...

Can you speak Japanese?

Yes...

How old are you?

One..two.. um..

Sixteen years old.

How old are you?

Fifteen.

How old?

Fourteen...

Let me go!

What are you doing?

Where are you taking me!!

I am only going to see

if you have any diseases so stay still.

Hey! Hey!

If you keep moving

you might get hurt.

You guys may go back to

your jobs now.

A fourteen year old virgin.

Nice...

Hail to Great Japanese Emperor

Hurrah! Hurrah! Hurrah!

I love it!

Come sit here.

It's okay.

It's okay.

Come here.

Come here.

Good! That's it.

This is how a real girl

should react.

She certainly has the spirit worthy of

being offered to The Great Imperial Army.

Hey. Is that you?

Help me, please.

You asked me

where we were, right?

Why bother worrying over that?

We are all dead already.

This is hell.

Are you okay?

Are you?

Where am I?

Grandma?

Where's Aeri?

So you are okay.

Thank god.

You were in a deep sleep

so Uncle ll-gyu brought you here.

Do you remember

anything at all?

I don't remember a thing.

I see.

What are all these?

They are..

They are called Gwe-bul-no-ri-gae,

good luck charms.

When I touch this I see soldiers

and butterflies.

Soldiers?

What kind of soldiers?

Soldiers with knives and guns?

I think.. I saw the Gwe-bul-no-rio-gae

you made in my dreams.

- Yoshio.

- Yes, sir.

Hey Danaka.

- Yes!

- Yes?

- Enemies!

- It's an attack!?

Charge!

Go! Go!

Retreat!

Kill them all!!

Kill!

You filthy Korean Sh*t!

What are you doing?

I am going to make

a Wench wear this.

You idiot.

Who are these bastards?

Now, now,

there'll be a room open soon.

Whatever.

It's my turn.

I will have the best arrangements

for you, soon, sir.

Shut up you bastard!

Yoshimi is dead.

Because of you filthy Koreans!

Okay, okay, go in!

Wear it.

I am sorry, I am sorry.

Please forgive me.

- I am sorry, I am sorry.

- Put it on!

Forgive me.

Wear it!

Put it on!

F***ing b*tch!

Okay. Okay!

I will wear it.

Please don't be angry.

Welcome.

Wait.

Would you please sit there?

Take a break for 10 minutes.

No, I will get in trouble.

It's because of this right?

I will put the coupon here.

To be honest...

I came here because I was curious.

But when I saw you,

all those thoughts disappeared.

Why?

You look a lot like my sister.

Many say that.

Some say that

I look like their mother.

Really...

That's probably because we are scared

that may die at any moment.

What's your name?

Masako.

No..not that name...

What's your real name?

I don't know.

There's no time.

Using Korean is banned.

Brother, come here.

Come down.

Come here.

Mr. Kuroda.

You know she's insane.

Please go easy on her.

I will give you

some special service later.

So please let us women

be alone for ten minutes. Please?

Will there be any problems?

You know how long

I have been here.

I assure you nothing will happen.

Okay.

Don't cause any trouble.

Yes sir.

You imbecile.

You will be the death of me.

What happened to her?

She's a poor little thing.

Why?

One day another unit that her

own brother was in, came to the station.

Sunhee!

Brother! Let me go!

Brother!

No! Brother! Brother!!

Apparently, she calls every soldier

she sees her 'brother'

and gets all excited thinking

they are her brother.

That's too bad...

Well, but isn't

the weather great today?

Nice and cool.

What nonsese!

That Wench will live happy

wherever she goes.

Nice and cool' my ass.

Hey, it's better than

dark rainy days.

Save your mouths for eating.

What's next, then?

You just had to fart here!

Take a dump

while you are at it.

You Wench.

Did you eat eggs or something?

Gees, smells terrible...

Oh it's freezing!

Weren't you at a courtesan house

back at Pyeongyang?

Yeah.

Then sing us a song

while they are not around.

Listen well.

Would you go

Would you go without me

Would you go and

leave me here alone

How could I live on my own,

if you leave me here alone

What should I do

Would you go

Would you go without me

Would you go and

leave me here alone

If I hold you down here,

you might not ever come back

Now my love

I'll let you go
