Tough business day in, day out
Some executive has a girlfriend and his wife's hired you to tail 'em?
Yeah, something like that
Hey, it makes my life easy
The Park regime which rules our country, has no intention of unifying
Our biggest challenge is to realize a capable, democratic government
that can meet the North as an equal
We're moving
He's at the Garden Hotel
- Get the others - Yes
Democratization of the South,
is the basic condition for unification
In other words, First Democratize, then Unify
Not, as some say, "Unify first, then Democratize"
We must stand as one in this belief "Democracy first, then Unification!"
The hotel reservations were cancelled
I don't know where you're getting it, but your information's useless
I'm very sorry
We're desperate, too That's why I have another request
I think the reporter who did this interview, might know his whereabouts
If you have a way of reaching him, can you arrange it?
Why don't you guys find him for yourselves?
You don't usually sub-contract
This isn't about the organization
This is between you and me
My life... depends on this
Phone for you, Kamikawa, from a Kindaichi
Kindaichi... who's that?
Kamikawa here... Oh!
It's not Kindaichi, it's Kim Dae-jung
Yes, day after tomorrow That's fine
Thanks for meeting me
Hey!
What was that?
Now we're even
Oh, you
Back then, when the other Self Defense guys taunted Mishima,
why'd you bring that chrysanthemum?
We information officers planned a coup with Mishima to revise the constitution
But the generals stopped us, saying it was premature
If we had controlled troops, like the officers
in 1936, he wouldn't have died that way
The S. D. Forces are un-constitutional
A military that's not a military, it's not right
There's the Peace Clause and there's the emperor
We all have to live with the lies
Whether he's god, man or symbol We don't need it
You lived through the war Can you tell that to the fallen?
In March of 1945,
our flight directors called us to the hangars
Told us to draw two circles if we were desperate to fly kamikaze
one if we were merely ready and nothing if we weren't
Then, my superior, who had combat experience quietly urged me to draw nothing,
but drew one circle himself
I didn't want to die but I forced myself...
Drew two circles, and then kicked myself
He shipped out to Okinawa,
leaving behind only his guitar and a journal
The journal was filled,
not with verses by doomed soldiers, but with pop song lyrics
"White Plums of Yushima," "You Remind me of Home"...
What are you getting at?
Humans do little but eliminate what they've stuffed in their mouths
but still, it's better to be alive
I like the Constitution just the way it is
I don't mean we should all bow to the lmperial Palace
But I hate Japan as it is
So what'd you want from me?
Yamato Agency?
I quit the Self Defense Forces
So?
Will you introduce me to Kim Dae-jung?
Someone who read your article wants to donate money to his cause
He's a resident-Korean who owns a lot of pachinko parlors
Our main investor in the agency
Will you please?
I want to interview him again myself, but I can't track him down
I see
Oops, wrong way
- He's all yours - Yes
Your Korean lesson
- Try translating it - Yes
It's nice to see you again
Shall we go?
You wait here
What a liar
You saved face for me Tomita san, thank you
I'm really, really grateful
Can I go now?
Please stay until the end
Why?
That's for later...
He got off on another floor
Hurry, find him!
Tomita san!
What are you doing here?
Meeting someone
Oh, that guy?
Yes, well
He sure looks familiar He Japanese?
Why?
Looks just like a Korean reporter that covered the riots here in1965
- Kim something or other - No,
his name is Sato
Excuse me, then
About contacting Kim Dae-jung...
No more need
What a jerk...
How can you do this?
You may be the secret police,
but you can't run around hunting people down in another country
I am not responsible for this
I called you here because you're in charge of the KCIA in Japan
Make them stop immediately
- Why?
Of course Minister, because it's in our national interest
You're like children playing spy games
It's your fault the Japanese secret police photographed you!
We'll change the team
Lee was the idiot who suggested hiring yakuza
He doesn't have what it takes and he slipped I'll replace him at once
Call Paek and Hong in here
Paek Secretary, Korean Embassy House For Sale
Paek Secretary, Korean Embassy
Hong Secretary, Korean Embassy
Over here
What is it, all of a sudden? What is this?
We're using it as a safe house
Please wait
Are you going to drag us into this?
So you know about it?
Working in the Embassy, it's obvious
Same for him
In that case, let's get right to business Come inside
Enter
Over here
Song Seongmin Minister, Korean Embassy
Lee Bong-ju Korean Ambassador to Japan
I've heard terrible rumors Are they true?
What kind of rumors?
If you abduct Kim Dae-jung,
I believe it will destroy our friendly relations with Japan
On top of that, you've got Japanese police surveillance
If you're caught red-handed, even diplomatic immunity can't save you
Please desist at once
I have lobbied against this plan with my superiors many times,
but they're adamant
Why is that?
Surely you know, Ambassador
- There you go - Thanks
You didn't even call I worried about you
Where'd you put that dictionary Dad got me in 7th grade?
You threw it against the wall Said you didn't want to learn Korean
Why now?
I'm going to learn it
What?
Now just wait a minute
Your hair's too long
Who cares, I'm growing it out
Now sit down here
Just sit down
That's heresy for a barber's son
The Beatles are bad for barbers
They broke up, 3 years ago
You don't have to worry about me
Sweetie...
I wish I could go home...
You two can take lunch
OK
I'll stay here
All right, then make me a cup of tea
- Yes - I'm off to lunch
See you
What's your final request?
On August 9, Kim Dae-jung will address
the Asia-Africa Committee of the Liberal Democratic Party
He'll establish an official profile here
We'll have to take extraordinary measures
Assassination's the only choice
You don't expect me to?
We need you to lure him somewhere We'll take it from there 20 Million Yen
Maybe you'd like to buy a car Cars can come in handy
Are you saying you want me to use that car?
Excuse me
Well, shall we go to lunch, as well?
Let's...
I can't believe how much everything costs
My eldest son's in college in the U. S.
My younger boy's in international school here
My daughter attends the Korean Academy
Unlike me, my daughter's got a pretty face, but she has a bad scar
I'd like to send her to the U. S. For plastic surgery...
If it were me... and I were offered that much money, I'd do anything for it
You must be a rich man, Tomita san
I'm not rich
You have children?
I had them... But my wife took them with her
If I fail to assassinate KT, they'll kill me
Not just me, but my whole family
Have you ever tortured anyone?
The 5th and 6th Divisions in Namsan handle torture
I was in the 7th Division
Hello, Tokyo Evening News
Hello...
You're Kamikawa, right?
What? The Self Defense Forces!
This piece is nothing but baseless speculation Can't use it
I got it from an inside informer
Any proof it's genuine?
Lt'll be too late after it happens
Newspapers print stories after they happen
We're getting lots of resident-Korean ads recently
Don't forget to cover that starlet's wedding reception on the 3rd
Where's the reception!
The Keio Plaza Hotel!
I looked for you
How'd you find me here...
We've never been apart for a whole month
I'm working as this man's bodyguard
Look A poem of Dr. Kim's
When the time comes We'll meet again
We'll dance together in a large square
Waving flags held high Screaming our joy
Cheeks pressed together, embracing each other
You're farther away than ever
I wasn't avoiding you
I've left home
My folks say they haven't raised me to marry some Korean
So...
Can you leave your mother?
Can't allow it
Under our constitutional government, murder is murder
A Self Defense Force man a murderer!
But the Chief knew about
the KCIA plans when he ordered you to open a front
He never told me
I open a shop under orders
A client comes and hires me to locate someone
The person I locate is killed I'm an accessory to murder
Don't get involved any further
But they'll hit KT
You're calling him KT now! Don't underestimate the Japanese police
You're right
The Riot Police always get the action- Anti-War riots, the Red Army incident...
Our Self Defense Forces never get our turn
In any event, stay out of it!
I'll take that check you offered
I understand
Are you OK?
Yeah... You going out?
I'm working in a Korean BBQ
Your milk delivery?
Both
What?
Take this and go to America
They have good plastic surgeons
Is this pity?
- It's not pity - No, you wouldn't pity me
It's your friends who did this to me
I have no reason to take it
You let me sleep with you
That's cruel
You made love to me
I may never see you again
Tomita san
Wait over there
Whenever KT meets anyone, he leaves his bodyguard behind
Have someone watch the back
Yes
I can't believe we're working with those lowlifes...
If you die, I get promoted
Tell me, how the hell did this get written?
Scoop/ The Plot to Assassinate Kim Dae-jung
What the hell is this?
We have an informer
That's all for now
Dr. Yang Kim Dae-jung w as just with you
We're alw ays w atching you
If you're plotting with that number one traitor, Kim Dae-jung,
remember, it'll be a one-way ticket from
Kimpo Airport to KCIA HQ in Namsan for you
- Found it! Found it! - Great!
All right, time to go home!
Let myself in
What are you doing?
They pull the rug out from under you?
The non-existent military you have to pretend to quit
Man, you're pathetic
Was that your article?
Yeah, I sold it And used it to buy balls
Balls?
Oh, forget it
You think the KCIA'll back off because of one measly article?
I didn't sell you out
But why on earth are you helping out the KCIA?
- What? - It's my personal war!
Why shouldn't a soldier fight?
Otherwise, I'm no better than a cat or dog
Wolves survive, pigs die!
I tried and failed to die for the Emperor, I tried and failed to die for Communism
I don't trust beautiful slogans any more
I won't live for anything... or die for anything
Pigs survive, wolves die
What will you do with me?
Traitor!
Lmagine he's KT Drug him!
Yes
Now You cut
Screw Kim Junkwon if he won't do his own dirty work
You're in too deep
Hurry up!
When the blood's drained, cut it off
- The saw - Yes
Where is he?
Men, our wait is over We initiate Operation KT tomorrow
Is Yang meeting Kim Dae-jung?
Tomorrow, KT will visit Yang at the Grand Park Hotel
Capture him
Yang has moved into a suite of adjoining rooms, Rooms 2212 and 2211
When KT meets people,
he leaves his bodyguard in the lobby and goes alone
After the meeting, KT will leave the room alone, because
as KT's elder, Yang won't escort him to the elevator
So KT will be alone in the hallway
That's our chance
Securing these 2 rooms is essential to our success
When he leaves Yang's suite, KT will disappear in Room 2210
Secure rooms 2210 and 2215 immediately
I'll be waiting to hear from you
1973-08-08
You wait here
No, I'll see you up
I finished this
Well done
I said, "Well done"
Thank you, sir
This far is fine Wait for me downstairs
What's the room number?
- Room 2212 - OK
He's alone
Shall I clean your room now?
I'm... busy writing now Later
At your service
Welcome
By the way, instead of communicating directly between Seoul and Tokyo,
I think we should use a trusted intermediary
Who would be good?
