coz it's too narrow.

So some smaller ones

youngsters like these

guys! Put them inside!

Director Ryu, Seung Wan

November, Nineteen Japan, Hashima

Coal Mine, Korean Residing Area.

I apologize, to all of you for taking the

wages of sin that we adults have committed.

I hope you guys would survive

and grow up for Korea.

We'll be back for you Mr. Yoon!

Never mind an old man like me

but live well.

If we delay, it'll be

hard to make it out.

Let's get started!

Aren't you going

with us, brother?

If I go, who's gonna

protect Mr. Yoon?

Even the rain's helping

you guys to escape.

Time's Up! Let's go!

Go!

Be careful!

Even if one of you gets shot, never look

back! You'll gonna get killed also.

Till you make it, think of

you, yourself, your life only.

After you hide in a secret

place, take some rest

and then go to Nagasaki.

You could be captured in Nagasaki, so don't

lose your tension till you reach Korea.

Stay alive! Let's meet each

other in a better world!

Who's that? Don't move!

We're gonna shoot

you if you move!

You'll also be killed!

How long is it?

We're near!

Mr. Yamada! Shall

we take them out?

Nope. Just write "drowned"

in the report. We

got three! Special

payment will be given!

The Battleship Island.

You're not even going

to war young man.

Please smile, your

handsome face looks ugly.

It's not a moment

to laugh or smile.

Commandeering is

just commandeering.

Who says commandeering? Never

heard from the Inteligence

people? (INTELIGENT PEOPLE

= THIS GUY'S COLLEAGUE)

I do my best to

serve the country.

Then did you send your kid

to the commandeering?

My son has a tuberculosis!

If my son wasn't ill I

would have sent him also

to serve the country. Why

is the music so gloomy?

Mr. Lee! Mr. Lee!

Are you gonna play

this all night?

The music is too gloomy for

the ones going out there.

Can't we play something

exciting like jazz?

Why?

Never heard of "Jazz Prohibition

Order"? Wanna see me arrested?

My goodness! Who's

gonna arrest you?

We have here all the

high ranked officials.

Let's have some fun.

You wanna have fun that much?

I must be paid as

risk allowance.

I understand.

February 7, Nineteen Peninsula

Hotel, Myeong Dong.

Where's Lee, Kang Uk?

He's on stage.

Send him to me right now,

or he'll be imprisoned.

Why'll he get imprisoned?

This crazy lad had an affair with the

wife of a high ranked secretary!

Hey, let's go!

Are you out of your mind?

The secretary's wife

liked my music,

she asked for a dinner. How

am I supposed to say no?

And the Owner of Dong-Yang

kept on pushing me to meet her

I just had a meal with her.

If you get imprisoned, who's gonna

take care of that little one?

Why'll I get imprisoned?

You played with the secretary's

wife who directly works

with the Jap Government.

Thought you'd be alive?

And the "Jazz" you played today?

Have you prepared it?

Here.

Including you, there are 9

of you in the orchestra

and your daughter, which

makes 10 heads. Ten Heads!

Police station families & I get

nothing in our pockets.

I know I always owe

you much, Sukiyama.

Hey! I'm searching an office in a

Japanese factory for you and your family.

Explain this situation to your

family well, and get some more money.

You always wanted to

work in Japan, right?

I've heard that the Japs lost in

the Philippines. I think they'll

gonna lose this war. (- -

CHINESE LETTER OF THE PHILIPPINES)

That's a big blah blah blah.

Don't you read newspapers?

There're thousands of

American prisoners in Japan!

Before you meet Sakura,

Japan's gonna win the

war! Just trust me! (SAKURA

= JAP SPRING FLOWER,

(USUALLY APPEARS ON

MARCH) (BEFORE YOU MEE SAKURA (REAL MEANING) =

Before spring comes)

Gonna see flowers?

February 12, 1945

Ship to Shimonoseki.

Finish it quickly!

You should have stayed

with your mommy at home.

Why did you join this ship?

Showing this piece of sh*t!

A man told me that I can make a

lot money through this work.

He sent me here directly. I

couldn't even inform my family.

I was send here the day after honeymoon.

Hey bro! Are you a new bridegroom?

I didn't really do anything properly,

I think I'll forget my fianc's face!

What makes you here Mr. glasses?

I'm a student from

Seoul University.

Wow! What an intel. intel.

(INTEL. = INTELLIGENT PEOPLE)

This's a better way than

going to the battle, right?

I heard that we can earn

enough money to buy a house!

Well they say that, but you

see the little kids over

there? What are they gonna

do with those little ones?

When we get off this ship,

our destination's different

with the people here.

So be patient, alright?

You guys have personal money,

right? Hand it over, now!

This's our Golden Rope. (GOLDEN

ROPE MEANS KEY TO SUCCESS IN KOREA)

If we lose this, we're doomed.

So secure it properly, okay?

Papa, Where are we really going?

You'll know. How many times

are you asking? Stay there!

Now it's safe.

Fighting?

That's Choi, Chil Sung? Jong-Ro

Gangster Choi, Chil Sung?

Yeah~ What a typical Korean~~~ Can't

stop fighting for a single moment?

Stop it! Be Quiet!

One more noise will be treated

as rebellion! We will shoot you!

F***! What on the hell's

that motherf***er saying?

Hey You!

Is there anyone who

can speak Jap?

One more noise, they won't

use water, but bullets.

So stop making this piece

of sh*t, and be quite!

What a dirty mouth! You've

got a mop in your mouth?

Or is your under part

dirty like your mouth?

You ever seen my under part? Do you

even know if it's clean or dirty?

Seen it before?

You got no idea who

you're yelling at!

Sit Down!

You must be some

gangster shits in Seoul,

Why on the hell are you letting

your goddamn stress upon

Korean girls after being

slapped by some f***ing Japs?

Wait!

Don't fight guys! Take it Easy!

Okay, I understand.

So let this go.

You guys also sit

down. I said sit!

I was about to let it go coz

it's too small to grab.

Your mom's so pitiful coz she gave birth to

a person who doesn't even have real balls.

Oh My! He's done with his pee.

Don't make noise anywhere coz those

kinds always get into trouble.

Troublemakers are

always troublemakers.

Shimonoseki Harbour, Japan.

Passengers! The ship has

just arrived in Shimonoseki.

Japanese people will

move in a separate way.

So Hee! Listen up! If

you let this hand off,

then just follow my backs.

You guys too. Secure

your instruments.

Tension up!

Hold this.

Hey, So Hee! So Hee!

Sorry sir! Excuse Me!

You're working hard sir!

This's a recommendation

letter from Seoul Jong-Ro.
