2009 LOST MEMORIES

2009, Seoul

Toyotomi Hideyoshi, The Last Exhibition of Inoue Artifacts

It's amazing

We don't have to do the rounds, right?

There are bodyguards all over the place...

Who is it?

I'm in Roger!

The terrorist group that has taken Ito Hall

has been identified as the "Hurei-Sen-Jin"

When their claims of Chosun independence

failed to earn public support even from Koreans

they turned to terrorism Authorized Personnel ONLY

In the Hureisenjin attack on the Japanese Cultural Center in 2007

The leaders of the team were apprehended

and the team was believed to have been destroyed

but another terrorist attack was carried out today

The Hureisenjin have apparently rebuilt their team

Eight SWAT teams are standing by

- How many terrorists are there? - We believe about 10

Their demands?

Nothing yet, sir!

Can we move in right away?

I wouldn't do anything hasty

Think of the Cultural Center

Stalling will only result in greater damage

They've taken many hostages

No more negotiations with Hureisenjin!

Sakamoto! Sorry to cut short your vacation

Tough luck! Sakamoto!

How's the situation?

It's strangely quiet

They've taken control of

the Central Hall but there's no movement

I have a bad feeling about this

It reminds me of the nightmare at the Japanese Cultural Center

Go!

Bring them to the east exit We'll be standing by

Drop the gun!

Drop your gun and surrender!

Fuck you!

I didn't come here to surrender

Any more resistance is useless

Drop the gun!

Are you Korean?

Drop your gun!

I asked if you were Korean!

How can you shoot at us?

You're just criminals

Criminals?

How can a try to get my country back be a crime?

I'm going to count to three

I am Captain Joon-Hwan Kim of the Korean Independence Army

One!

Tell them this message

- Two! - Korea is an independent country!

Japan has committed a crime by forcefully invading Korea

We...

Sakamoto! What did he say in Korean?

JBI Seoul Office

Judging from the break-in route and the overall nature of the attack

We know it was a well-trained team

Hureisenjin has rebuilt itself

This incident will provide material clues

material clues to the direction

the organization plans to take

But

The current evidence isn't enough to clearly identify their specific motives

Maybe they were after the national treasures?

The Hureisenjin are not known to commit simple robberies

That's right

Many were damaged in the gunfire

But there is no evidence that they tried to steal any of them

What are the other possibilities?

The interesting thing is that they locked up the hostages

Almost as if they wanted to protect them

Then they must've had another motive

They completed their task but the police came sooner than they expected

This was confirmed by statements from the hostages

There is another unusual detail

One terrorist tried to slip out with the hostages

This man

This is just speculation but we believe the gun fight

may possibly have been... ...a cover for something else

Ten men were sacrificed to save one?!

Please leave this case to Saigo and myself

Why do you always go for the Hureisenjin cases?

Do you have something to prove?

Why not let Inspector Miura

take it and leave me out of it?

I have no idea about you sometimes

Who has the most to lose from this case?

The Inoue Foundation obviously

Could this be relate to the Foundation?

We can start by checking out the background for the exhibition

Thanks, Saigo!

Hey! Don't dump this on me!

You know that picture?

What picture?

That Hureisenjin guy...

It's nothing!

I'll make sure that nothing affects the schedule

Here you are!

- Who are you? - Oh!

You mean Mr. Inoue

That's Mr. Inoue Kenji Chairman of the Inoue Foundation

He's the grandson of the second governor of Korea

This painting "Utopia" is by Kawabata Yukio

He drew paradise as he saw it in a dream

This kind of celadon is famous around the world

It's magnificent, isn't it?

Amazing that it made it through all that gun fire

The last exhibition?

After this exhibition, all the artifacts wll be moved back to Japan

This exhibition is amazing

But this is nothing compared to the really important gems

that already have been moved to Busan for shipment back to Japan

This one piece was huge

Huge? What was it?

Over there That's where it used to be

Inoue was the Korea's second governor

and he collected every treasures he could

He was quite a collector

I've heard stories that he even collected

a lot of forbidden things by the government

and wilder stuff than in this exhibit...

One time, he saw this mountainous rock in Harbin that he wanted so much

but couldn't move it with the technology at the time

So, he left instructions in his will and eventually had it moved

Talk about obsessive

So he got it after he died

- Daddy! - Ok. Ok!

- Go to Mommy, Go to Mommy! - All right. I know

Why did you ask me over anyway?

Oh, that...?

Ask Yuriko!

This is when your Daddy and I were at the Police Academy

Your mom and dad had started dating when they had a fight

What are you telling her?

And your daddy said that they should break up

Stop it!

But, your daddy loved your mom

So much that he just cried for days

Daddy cried?

That's not all One day...

The things you tell a child That's enough

Mommy!

One day! Mommy got a letter

I hadn't gotten a letter since I was a little girl...

There was a strange name on it

Mommy read the letter and thought

"If he has a friend like this I could trust him with my life"

Do you know that Yuriko still has your letter?

What did you write in that letter?

How come you keep secrets with someone else's wife?

Every time I see your family I envy you

Yuriko is so warm and gentle and Keiko is really cute

Was it a woman?

Huh?

You said you sometimes see visions

Oh, that Well... I don't know...

It looks like a woman...

At first, thought cuz you're workaholic But I don't think that's it

Then what?

It's time you got married

You still have feelings for her?

Who?

I was pretty drunk at the graduation party

but I remember clearly

You said that you felt like You've been in love so long

I told you that?

I don't get it...

What?

The Hurei-Sen-Jin

Why were they fighting so hard?

Obsessed with the past, I guess

Chosun disappeared and was reborn as a united Japan

They're in denial about reality

That's the problem

Is that why you're obsessing about this case?

If I had Korean blood...

I would understand how you feel

But let's be realistic You and I are Japanese

You don't need to get emotional about something like that
