1970-11-25
Earlier, author Mishima and 4 members of his pro-imperialist group
occupied the Self Defense Forces' Commander's quarters,
took the Commander hostage and barricaded themselves Inslde
As the noon slren walled across the garrison,
members of his group unfurled a banner bearing their manifesto,
and Mlshlma came out and began his address
Raising his fist, Mishima urged
mllltarlzatlon of Self Defense Forces and defense of the imperial system...
Can't you drive faster?
But Mlshlma's volce Is dlfflcult to make out
amid the violent jeers and howls from 800 members of the Self Defense Forces
assembled below his balcony
and the roar of press helicopters circling above
Just now, Mishima cheered the emperor and left the balcony to enter...
We ask all reporters to remain orderly and quiet
Two of them... Have apparently taken their own lives
According to the commander's statement
Have they collapsed from wounds, or are they dead?
They are dead They are dead
- Both? - Both of them
It seems that three of them beheaded the other two
What? Cut off their heads? They didn't commit hara-kiri?
The commander confirmed...
Stop, you can't! Stop that
How come he can but I can't, you jerk!
He got that shot!
Excuse me
I'm with the Tokyo Evening News Any comment?
Just a word will do
April 28, 1971 - Seoul
People, unless w e make a change in the regime,
w e will find our country under the control of Park Chung-hee, Regent-for-life
Park Chung-hee President of South Korea
Lee Hu Seong, General Director Korean Central Information Agency (KCIA)
Bribing and intimidating voters, printing counterfeit ballots,
buying up abstainee ballots, destroying and
invalidating KT votes We did everything possible
Are you saying he would otherwise have beat me?
Park Chung-hee is not a presidential candidate
w ho w ould serve his people and be judged by them
Instead, he is a ruler, w ho w ould trample and rule over his people
1971-05-25
Kim Dae-jung! Kim Dae-jung!
We are with you! Be careful!
What's that taxi behind us?
Just a regular taxi, but it cut in
Pull ahead of the taxi
OK
April 1973 - Tokyo
You all right?
Koreans... Bicycle, bad
I'll buy all these for you
What?
Is this how you make a living?
I also tutor Korean
Many students?
One
Well, that's not many
Pay is good
By the student?
By Chang san, who gave me the job
Yes
Why is your student studying Korean?
He'll go to Korea with other Japan-born Koreans
So, he wants to learn how to speak, he says
Why doesn't Chang san teach him?
Chang san has accent
From where?
I don't know But it's not Seoul, or Pusan, or Kwangju even
Is Chang san his real name?
Chang Jeongnam is it real or not...
Your student's name?
Shin Myongchul It's like you interrogate me
You police?
No...
I'm not...
Eat
- No thanks - My turn
Sure
Satake - Self Defense Forces Intelligence
Isn't he a KCIA operative?
That's Kim Changwon
Chang Jeongnam's here Right, right
Idiots, they didn't notice him
Kim Changwon First Secretary, Korean Embassy
They mean business Cover the room
Yes
Wait!
Tomita san
What will you do with them?
We just have a few questions
This is Japan, not Korea It's against the law
They're scheming with a North Korean spy to assassinate President Park
Will you please at least leave the woman behind?
Then I'll pretend I saw nothing
She's seen our faces
The woman's working with us
Besides, we took photos from up there
Whether we give 'em to Foreign Affairs is up to you
I understand
Put the woman back
Yes
My turn
Yes
We're KCIA
Long Live the Unified Fatherland!
Unidentified Corpses on Japan Sea Coast Foul Play Suspected
I love you
Just who are you?
Can I come in? I want to know more about you
You got a man waiting inside?
You involved with that Chang guy?
With Shin Myongchul?
Why do you ask me that?
I'm going home
Don't...
Don't go
I haven't slept with either Please look
No one even wants to hold this body
What happened?
I was arrested last October at a demonstration against
the emergency martial law decree They dragged me to Central Information,
where they stripped me and tied my hair to a torture table
They said I was a Northern spy When I protested,
they burned me with irons...
When I fainted they poured water on me and injected me...
You don't have to tell me more
Even my fiance who was an activist, abandoned me
I'm so sorry...
Jeongmi
Yes
Kamikawa, Tokyo Evening News
I'm Kamikawa
Wait a moment
I'm Kim Dongchung, an old friend of Kim Dae-jung's
Please come in
Excuse me
- Go on in - Thank you
I'm Kamikawa
I'm Kim Dae-jung Nice to meet you
Your Japanese is excellent
I owe it to Japan
May I take your photograph first?
- Yes - Thank you
Did you know what kind of paper we were when you called?
What kind of paper are you?
You could say we're a "soft" paper,
or to make it sound hip, we're a paper for the working class
I think you're a "hard news" paper
Because you're going to print an interview with me
I called the other major dailies, but they'll only put me in the magazines
You're the only one to put me on your front page
The front page!?
June, 1973 - Tokyo safe house
Tokyo Evening News - "Korean Kennedy" Revolts Against Park Regime
"Unification lmpossible Under Park"
Kim Junkwon Minister, Korean Embassy
Most of us don't know each other I'll introduce you by name
Yun Younghak, Councilor
Yes sir
Hang Sangseok, Secretary
Lee Taekwon Consul General, Kobe
Yu Youngseon Consul General, Yokohama
Yu Chunseong, Secretary
You're the Black team on the KT operation Kim Changwon's in charge
I'm the White operative
May I ask what your mission is?
I have to find a politician to persuade KT to return to Korea
We can't let him continue his activities in Japan and the U. S.
The President really wants KT's head...
Minister
If you do that here, all hell will break loose
If KT disappears in Tokyo, everyone will remember the East Berlin incident
West Germany threatened to cut diplomatic ties,
we had to surrender all 17 prisoners
Japan has no right to accuse us of anything
Our Empress Myongseong was murdered and defiled by Japanese agents,
who burned her corpse Our Empress!
The German mess developed when we dragged them back to Seoul
We eliminate him Then plant rumors he defected North Isn't that right?
Yes...
Minister Kim, I'll need 20 million yen for the operation
For what purpose?
The Jackal strategy
Hire a hit man?
Are you crazy? This is a supreme directive! We execute it
Enough from you
We're the only ones at the Embassy who know of this operation
The Ambassador doesn't, of course
Take every precaution for secrecy
From now on, don't make a move without my permission, understood?
Yes
A yakuza hits another yakuza, and you don't do much time
But... kill a foreign politician, you get death
Can't you escape detection?
Don't underestimate the Japanese police
Why not just take him out of political action?
Blinding him is something one of my boys could handle
Blind him?
What is he saying?
"Battles Without Honor and Humanity/Hiroshima"
Kim, why are you walking like that?
Kim?
A Korean with a Japanese bitch?
Hey, sister You let a Korean do you, you'll stink of garlic
What the!
She's not Japanese
What? You're Korean, act Korean and wear Korean clothes
You're Korean, don't whistle Japanese songs
You friggin' thug!
Stop!
Hey!
What?
About before... Am I no good,
because I'm Japanese?
It just slipped out...
Yes, I understand
Chief of Staff, Intelligence Self Defense Forces Excuse me
Chief of Staff, Intelligence Self Defense Forces
Uchiyama, set up a cover operation
Uchiyama Intelligence Team Chief
Is a detective agency or a law office more suitable?
A detective agency
Mission is KCIA support
Special operations?
Got anyone in mind?
Major Tomita would be ideal
He mastered Korean at Intelligence School
Up to you
They're all worked up about it Get started as fast as possible
Yes, I understand
I hear you're resigning
I can't go on living in the shadows
You're of that glorious class of 1957
Remember Prime Minister Yoshida's graduation address?
"The Japanese public is happier because you hover in the shadows
I need you to endure it"
That's right
I want to bask in the sunlight
You think quitting will help?
Open a detective agency
The real mission?
Your specialty surveillance and research on Koreans
Is that an order?
You can always quit later
What's a Self Defense Force without uniforms and weapons?
As you always say, "a shadow's shadow"
Korean Democratization and Unification Committee - Tokyo Office
Howdy
What'd you want?
Come on inside
- You do judo, right? - Yes
Black belt?
I'm on my third belt
Oh, hello
How are you?
You've really cleaned this place up Let's toast our new office with this
Thank you
Give me a hand
To Dr. Kim Dae-jung
It's anonymous
I am a fellow Korean-resident here, w ho respects you, Dr. Kim
The KCIA Is Intent on eliminating you
You must be very, very careful During your visit here, w hether
in the street, traveling by car, or stopping in a hotel
If not, something terrible will happen
The future of Korea rests on your shoulders Nothing must befall you
I beg of you, guard yourself w ell
Would you work as a bodyguard for us?
What! You mean, me? But they're KCIA
Yeah, they may be armed
Excuse me, Dodge his bullets? That's not judo stuff
Shield him with your body
You want me to die?
We don't want to force you But you sure would be useful
My mom's on her own
Baba 's finally fighting back
Chop to the head...
Why'd you turn it off?
Baba's too tall to get in here
Are you nuts?
You're not going to marry that Takashima girl, are you?
It's impossible
So long as you know it
Can't do it without an income
Marry a blue-eyed or black person, but Japanese, I forbid
It's not like my girlfriend killed your brother
They're all Japanese
Different Japanese
Hopeless!
I'm moving out
Okura Building
Lieutenant, please open the door
- No rank here - Yes
- Go on in - Thank you
- Celebrate the new office? - Yes
- Let's have a party - Yes
Yamato Agency
You're a newlywed, go home Everyone else has
Beauty you tire of in 3 days, ugly you get used to in 3
Which is she?
I'm not tired of her yet, sir
Don't sir me
Major Tomita, aren't you going home, sir?
Nobody's waiting up for me I'll sleep here
Just leave me some smokes
Yes You really don't mind?
I really don't
Excuse me, then
Hey, my smokes...
Hello
Hey, you'd better go Plane's due at Narita at 2
Get ready
Me, too?
Still wavering?
No bullet-proof vest?
What if they aim for your head? That's how they got Kennedy
The Jackal went for DeGaulle's head, but he survived
Day of the Jackal, huh... They made it into a movie
DeGaulle survived because he bowed You wouldn't know...
The target... should keep moving
As long as you're moving they can't aim Don't stay in one place
We'll use this as a base and keep changing hotels
I'll go ahead and make reservations in your name
- Let's go - I'll take the key
What are you doing?
See you later
Given Nixon's shift in Asian policy, do you believe
that relations between the Park regime and the U. S. Are rapidly cooling?
The U. S. Has its hands full with Watergate
If Koreans rise up against the dictatorship now,
American public opinion will shift overnight,
to supporting the movement
That's how it looks to me now
- What are they talking about? - What?
Learn your own people's language
Yes
I'm Kim Junkwon Minister from the Korean Embassy
I've come to pay you my respects, Dr. Yang
Thank you for taking the time to visit me
By the way, have you any plans to see Kim Dae-jung?
Is Kim Dae-jung in Tokyo?
Isn't he the reason you're here?
I only came for my diabetes check-up
But you will see Kim Dae-jung
It's none of your business whether I see him or not
Well, not exactly
You were only given a diplomatic passport
because you agreed to convince
Kim to stop criticizing Korea, and return to Seoul
Even if I wished to, I don't know where he is
If you know, won't you tell me?
And if you hear from him, please notify me
Don't ask what we do Your job is to serve tea
Yes?
My name is Sato, is the director here?
Director
Hello, Sato san
- Please, Tea - Yes
I want you to find this man
That's Kim Dae-jung
He should be in Japan
He's based at the Keio Plaza Hotel,
but he moves around the city
None of us has had a confirmed sighting
What will happen when you have?
Kim Dae-jung shuttles between Japan and the U. S.
Under the guise of anti-Park, anti-dictatorship movement,
but actually, he's plotting with the North to create "A Confederation of Korea"
According to reliable information, Kim will soon fly there
He's here now preparing for that trip
He's not plotting unification, it's a merger
The Korean government finds this unforgivable
We've got to stop him somehow
How do you plan to do that?
We want to talk to him, but we don't know where he is
That's why I need your cooperation
He may be staying with his old friend, Kim Dongchung
He lives in the Ohara Apartments
Ohara Apartments
It w as you w ho sent the letter I understand, w e're grateful
Thank you very much
Give me the binoculars
ltsuki, you cover the front, Kikumura, the back
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

I finished this

He's alone
Shall I clean your room now?

By the way, instead of communicating directly between Seoul and Tokyo,
I think we should use a trusted intermediary
Who would be good?
Who's that?
Who can it be?
Enjoy

- You know w hich room he's in, right? - Yes

I'll definitely return to Seoul

Why would anyone do that?
Just shut up and open the door!
Why'd you leave fingerprints?
For insurance
Insurance?
If we succeed, they'll erase us if we fail, they'll erase us
If the fingerprints establish my involvement,
they can't eliminate me as easily
As a diplomat, they can't match your fingerprints
Any foreigner who lives in Japan over a year
is fingerprinted and registered as a Resident Alien
I once posed as a journalist here, spying on the North Korean Union
I've been a registered alien ever since
What if the police insist the Korean Embassy turn you over
My government will refuse
So I escape arrest here and they can't afford to kill me in Korea
In that case... you'll need this
But tell 'em you gave it to me
We'll get off at the next exit
Yes
I think someone's tailing us
Good day
That's 3,100 yen
Ask him for directions
Thank you
Where do these roads go?
If you go this way, to Otsu, if you go that way, to Kyoto
- I see - Take care now
We'll use the Kobe safe house as a precaution
Yes
Can't breathe... My back, my back
Shut up!
Pull him out
Is he still alive?
We were followed
- Secret police? - Don't know
Take him inside
Now
Who's that?
Self Defense man He's with us
No sign of 'em
A Japanese with us?
Trusting a Japanese after 36 years of Japanese lmperial occupation!
This man can be trusted
Let's go, Tomita san
Kim san, I sure could use a glass of cold beer
We want food and beer
It's me
It's you Where are you calling from?
Is the ship ready as planned?
You deliver him alive
It doesn't matter any more whether he's dead or alive,
and I don't want any blood on our hands, got that?
What will you do now?
Worry about yourself, not me
- Check the boat! I - Yes! - Check the trunk!
Tomita san
Will you take this to my family?
I'm not allowed on the boat?
You've already been a great help We'll take it from here
I thought I was with you
You may be my ally, but you might not be with us
So you just used me
You're my first Japanese friend, Tomita san
It was you, Satake
Major Tomita, we have orders to bring you to Headquarters
Who the hell are you!
Don't!
Weapons down
I'm asking you, please, don't resist
How long have you been tailing us?
Since the Grand Park Hotel, sir
I get it
Not on Japanese territory, not by a Self Defense man
Beyond that, do as you like
That's how it is, Kim san
Any message for your family?
Good bye, Kim san
Good bye
The other Kim san, good bye
The boat?
- It's here - Unload him!
Destroy this car immediately
Yes
Honey, it's me
Leave for America immediately I'll send you money
Apply for permanent residency for the whole family That's right
I'm counting on you
What's the cargo?
It sure stinks
Yes
Excuse me
Cabinet Secretary, sir, the White House is on the line
It's an aide
Sorry to keep waiting
About the KCIA's abduction of Kim Dae-jung
Send a Self Defense Foroe plane
and order the ship to abort the assasslnatlon
Why not U. S. Forces?
How about U. S forces
Japan is the police force of Asia
We know the Japanese secret police looked the other w ay on this thing
It's a violation of sovereignty
It will destroy your Liberal Democratic Party
Conslder It well They've hung up
They're just afraid the Korean Peninsula will become another Vietnam
- Hey, call the Prime Minister - Yes
When did you eat toast in the lobby coffee shop?
I told you, it was after I saw Dr. Kim to the 22nd floor, so 11 l10
That's strange They can't find your receipt
I ate what I ate! Why do you keep bugging me!
Stop bugging me Look for the Dr!
We're looking
I told you, the guys who took him spoke Korean
You just keep checking all the hotel rooms!
I mean, what the hell is this!
If you knew where he was staying, why'd you let the KCIA kidnap him!
I bet you're in on it with the KCIA! It's your fault if Dr. Kim dies!
You idiot, it's your fault
They got him because he had a loser bodyguard
You're Korean and you don 't even speak Korean
I said, you're Korean and you don 't even speak Korean
Hey, you!
You wanna spend the night here?
Wait, you can't go in there!
Hey, you're interrogating him
I told you to wait in the hall!
- Let's go now - Wait!
What are you doing Let him go
He doesn't know anything You know better than this!
Are you OK?
Goddammit!
I'm thirsty
You'll get a belly full soon enough
Don't hit me You don't have to hit me anymore
Open your mouth
The mattress will drag him under
The sharks'll get him first
Secure the weights
Dear God
I've never asked you for anything Please help me now
I still have work, left to do for my people
Even if the sharks take half of my body please spare my life
Safe
Dr. Kim Dae-jung, When a tiger dies, he leaves his skin
When you die, you will leave your name
Pick up his legs
You can't kill this man!
So you were the traitor
Brother Kim, please stop using murder for your own profit
What would you know! A rich kid with your success guaranteed!
Asshole! You'll die in the basement at Namsan
A plane!
You Commie!
Don't just stand there
Get up on deck! Now!
"Abort Kim Dae-jung Assassination"
What are you doing!
Faster! Go Faster!
Stay out! Butt out!
Get out! Get out! Get out!
What do you know? How dare you guys interfere!
Get out! Get out!
I won't let it... End like this
Kim Dae-jung is alive
The U. S. Intervened and a Self Defense chopper ordered the plan aborted
The U. S. Supported Park's military coup and dictatorship all along
Now they want Park to bow out, huh
What's right for America is right for the world
What are you trying to say?
Our Self Defense Forces are just U. S. Reserves
Japan and Korea are Yellow Monkeys that dance to America's tune
There's only one bullet
Like Colonel Nonaka in 1936?
You got me all wrong
I'm not killing myself
The day before you opened Yamato Agency...
was the day we officially accepted your resignation
You're on your own, now
Put it away
We're going to drop you close to home
When we do, stay put for 3 minutes
Here are your things
You might relieve yourself
August, 1322/20
Here's another one
Shortstop!
And another
This one's for second
OK, second Go into the ball
OK, third
Go, go, go!
Sato! You take over
What is it?
Hire me as a coach?
You ever play ball?
It's all I lived for
And your war games?
I lost
Well, some wars are better unwon
I want you to write something
Got a smoke?
What do you want me to write?
Has the investigation mentioned any fingerprints at the hotel?
A professional left prints?
One of the Secretaries did
You'll never get a match on a diplomat
His should be on file in lmmigration
The prints belong to that reporter you used to know
That reporter's a Secretary?
Wow And what do you want?
Wipe-up after our defeat I want to save the other Kim
What?
Also, Self Defense Force involvement in the Kim Dae-jung incident
Meaning you?
The Chief of Intelligence who had me set up the Agency
was below Park Chung-hee in officer training school
Wow, I get it...
But... aren't they after you?
Just a retired Self Defense Force man hired as detective
Besides, an official investigation is good insurance
Insurance?
The Self Defense Forces like to stay quietly in the shadows
Can't mobilize except for natural disasters
I've found a reason for wanting to live a long life
So I'm buying some insurance to keep them from rubbing me out
and moving to the country side
What are you writing?
A piece for someone else
- Another day - Yeah
You sure know how to write lies
I sure do You're in my way
