My Way (마이웨이)

We're standing at Edgware Road in London

where the 14th Olympic marathon race

is taking place.

The runners in the leading group

are entering the last stretch

and passing the 39 kilometer mark

Wait!

As we speak

contestant number 265

from the second group...

Who is he?

An Asian runner is quickly making

a play towards the leading group...

What's his name?

Jun Shi Kim

It's Jun Shi Kim from Korea

A marathoner unknown to the world

He is engaging in a tense battle

for position

among the leading group

Jun Shi Kim

from out of nowhere!

Unbelievable!

Isn't the air nice, Tatsuo?

You'll get used to it here soon

I'm sure you'll make good friends here

It's Jun-shik!

I'm faster than a car!

Grandpa!

You show the signs of a great imperial soldier already

Welcome, my boy

How've you been, Father?

Greet them

He's the new, young master

Jun-shik Kim, sir

I'm Eun-soo Kim, sir

Great, Tatsuo

You have a new friend your age

Tatsuo runs well. Like you

My brother's the best runner in Kyung-sung, sir

I'm the best in Tokyo

No match for a country boy

Wanna race me?

Ready

Go!

Hasegawa beat Korea's Jun-shik Kim in the 4th high school marathons!

Korea's son, Jun-shik Kim, beat Hasegawa Tatsuo and won!

"HASEGAWA TATSUO WINS NATIONAL MARATHONS AGAIN!"

"KIM JUN-SHIK WINS!"

Congratulations

Jun-shik Kim, the light of Korean marathon

Hasegawa Tatsuo, the star of Japanese marathon wins again

Good job chasing behind me

Must be your damn lucky day

Let's applaud Hasegawa Tatsuo

who won the national high school marathon

and brought great honor to Imperial Japan

Long live our Emperor!

Long live Imperial Japan!

Long live...

This is my grandson, Tatsuo

You must be very proud

I expect a lot from you

Thank you

It's a gift from the Japanese Minister of Defense

Open it

Yes, sir

Give me that!

Get away!

Grandfather! Grandfather!

- Father! - Grandfather! Grandfather!

Do something! Father, please! Do something!

You're a doctor who saves lives!

Why aren't you doing anything?

- You killed him! - No

You killed him!

No

Bring my grandfather back!

Let go!

He didn't kill anyone!

You bastards killed him!

Jun-shik!

Bring my grandfather back!

No!

- Daddy! - No! I didn't do it!

Daddy!

- Jun-shik! - Daddy!

Father!

Bring my grandfather back!

Father!

Jun-shik

Bring my grandfather back!

Let Go!

- Father! Father! - Daddy... Daddy

Don't show your face around here again

Or I might kill you

Korea's hero, Ki-jung Sohn won an Olympic gold medal! Rejoice!

MAY, 1938, KYUNG-SUNG, KOREA

Why do you have sandbags strapped on?

Are you a marathon runner?

Korea's luck in the marathon stops with Ki-jung Sohn

A Korean man will never be an Olympic victor again

Koreans are banned from Olympics

'cause Sohn covered the Japanese flag?

If you were a bomb,

I'd run straight into the Athletics Association

Marathon running is a science demanding concentration and fighting spirit

I'll prove it once and for all at the Olympic tryouts

Can you go any faster?

You might regret it

I'll pay double if you get there in 30 minutes

Triple for 20 minutes

Hold on tight

Your victory in the tryouts is a given

What is your goal in the Olympics?

I'll win the gold and set a new record

- What a laugh? - In honor of our great empire!

Look out!

Look out!

Let's go! Coming through!

Move! Out of the way!

To a marathon gold medal at the Tokyo Olympics!

- Cheers! - Cheers!

You're quite the runner

Here you are

Double would've been fine

Opportunities come to those who don't give up

Jun-shik Kim

Jun-shik!

Are you okay?

Isn't that...

Are you all so happy over half of a race?

I'm Ki-jung Sohn

Ki-jung Sohn's in Japan

Wanna bet? If I win, I get to marry your sister

Hurry

You say Japan and Korea are one yet you ban Koreans from tryouts?

Are you claiming the Athletics Association is unjust?

Your comment, Mr. Chairman?

The board has decided

If a Japanese runner will win anyways, what's the problem?

It'll be boring for Hasegawa without Jun-shik Kim

I think Jun-shik Kim shouldn't be in the discussion

See!

Jun-shik Kim?

Jun-shik

Jun-shik Kim, what have you been up to?

What are your thoughts on the ban on Korean runners?

Are you still training?

How much do you train each day? Your comments, please

Mr. Hasegawa?

Are you confident you'll win even if Jun-shik Kim enters?

You think he stands a chance against me?

But aren't Jun-shik Kim's records better than yours?

That was in the past

You think a mere rickshaw driver can beat a well-trained marathoner?

If you could enter,

are you confident you can beat Hasegawa?

How good can a mere rickshaw driver be?

I'd be grateful just to enter the race

Here is your acceptance letter from Berlin Medical University

Sign it

The marathon is more important to me than my studies

This is the most important period in your life

Focus on your studies

Our men are sacrificing their lives to build a Greater East Asia

I don't want to be a coward who runs away from war

War is futile

You are insulting Grandfather

Tatsuo, watch what you say

Think of the people before your country

That's the way of a doctor

Then I must treat the Korean people who killed my grandfather?

Even if it kills me, I'll never do that

The picture is missing from the frame in my room

Jong-dae! Why you

Why would someone steal a picture of all things?

It should be around somewhere

Anyway, I hope you can enter the tryouts

Father will be so happy

Don't get your hopes up

Can't trust the Japs

Get more firewood. The fire's dying

Please?

It's so pretty

How do I look?

Eun-soo

I think you're the prettiest girl in all of Asia

"OLYMPIC TRYOUTS ENTRY FORM"

Please win and bring hope to Korea again

I can really enter the race?

Show them how scary a mere rickshaw driver can be!

Jun-shik

Listen carefully

The man in front of Jun-shik is Ki-jung Sohn

Then, you must be holding the Olympic tryouts entry form

If I'm right, hold it up high!

Yes!

Let me see!

Yes!
