- [mariachi music playing] - [chattering]
- [in Japanese] Cheers. - Cheers.
[gulps, grunts]
It's strong.
[Kato burps, coughs]
But delicious, no?
[laughs]
Margarita?
Yes.
You dip the tortilla chips in this.
[Kato speaks Japanese]
[gasps] Delicious.
Delicious, yes.
[clamoring]
Hello.
Haven't seen you in a while.
[Sunja's mother, in English] Here. Take this.
[Sunja] What took you so long? [pants]
We're almost out of everything.
[in Japanese] Thank you.
[in English] Halmoni! I'd like some kimchi.
- Come. - Thanks.
[Sunja's mother] This way.
[chuckles]
[Sunja speaking Japanese]
[in Japanese] Chuka soba!
- [mariachi music playing] - [patrons chattering]
[server] This is salsa sauce.
- [Sunja] Salsa. - [Kato] Salsa.
Thank you.
Did you see that?
Didn't even have to lift a finger.
[Kato laughs]
- [exclaims] - [in English] Let me do that.
[slow mariachi music playing]
[chuckles, in Japanese] I feel strange.
- And it's gotten so hot. - [chuckles]
Perhaps that second margarita was too much.
I think we may be a little drunk.
[laughs]
How can you say such a thing?
[laughs, sighs]
The dinner we had the other day,
you paid for that as well.
I invited you here.
The next adventure is up to you.
- How much? - It'll be 3,326 yen.
[cash register beeping]
- [Kato] Do you take credit cards? - [server] Yes.
[cash register dings]
[Kato] Can I have a receipt, please?
[Kyunghee sighs]
[in English] This wait is so hard.
But I can't decide whether I want tomorrow to come sooner
or never to come at all.
Goodness gracious!
Stop that nonsense!
He passed.
Noa is going to Waseda.
[Kyunghee] But how can you be so sure?
Even a fool like me knows.
That boy studied so hard—
I've had enough!
What's the point in harping on like this?
Nothing's to be done, so why dwell on it?
We'll know tomorrow.
It's out of our hands now.
[Sunja, in Japanese] Chuka soba!
Good price!
Come in! Welcome!
Chuka soba!
Good price!
Welcome!
Tasty noodles!
[activist, in English] All they want is the work of our hands.
- [crowd member] That's right! - [crowd cheers]
They demanded that we use our hands to do their work.
Hands that have bled and cracked for it, to build this failed empire of theirs!
Even with that, they tear down our schools,
force us to sign our names in their public registry.
We were left helpless.
- [crowd member] That's right! - [crowd cheers]
You see the shame of it!
And now we are fighting for our very own lives, for our existence.
So today, their war may be over, but our war is just beginning!
[crowd exclaims]
[activist] Not just here, but in our homeland as well.
Where corrupt capitalistic forces threaten to tear our nation apart.
- [crowd member] Yes! - Look what happened in Jeju!
Will it end? It is unacceptable!
[crowd] Jeju! Jeju!
[activist] We have a right to be angry!
[crowd member] That's right!
Do they expect our people not to be angry when entire villages are being massacred?
Our children slayed.
Our mothers' and fathers' blood spilled by those who speak in our own tongue.
[crowd exclaims]
[activist] But with that said, we must not blame our Korean brothers.
They are not to blame,
when we know they have been defiled
by evil Americans who say they are our liberators!
[crowd] That's right!
We must fight and say we've had enough of it!
- [crowd] Let us fight! - [activist] For our country!
- [crowd exclaims] - We must take our stand and fight!
A fight that is for Koreans!
A fight that is by Koreans!
For one united country!
Let us all shout for our country!
Long live Korea!
- Long live Korea! - Long live Korea!

- Hey. - [bartender] Yes, sir.
Take this to the back.
Count them to make sure they're all there.
Yes, sir.
[Hansu, in English] Sit.
If there's nothing more, I'd like to turn in.
[Hansu] I told you to sit.
[liquid pouring]
That's the last of it.
[Mr. Kim] I'm sure you have other endeavors lined up.
I don't worry about you.
What do you think happens when the Americans pull out?
- Fewer whores on the street. - [scoffs]
There'll always be whores on the street.
But for better or worse,
this country will have no choice but to stand on its own two feet.
What do I care what this country does?
Don't say such stupid things.
In any case...
You know that crap rolls downhill.
[Mr. Kim] So things go back to the way it was before the war?
It was shit then too.
[Hansu] We can never go back to that.
But that's an opportunity for us.
We have the black markets, and I have my plan.
For you as well.
You won't just be my fists for much longer.
I understand.
- Yuki. - I don't need that.
You're no saint.
[Hansu, in Japanese] Take good care of him.
Make him forget his troubles.

[Solomon] Sugihara-san.
[Sugihara] I apologize for just dropping by.
Yoshii-san asked me to deliver a message.
[speaks Japanese]
What is it?
Yoshii-san sends his apologies.
But he believes it is better for you to fully understand your situation.
That is his thinking.
My situation?
His name is Kunizane Tsuyoshi.
The eldest son of the Kunizane family.
[Solomon scoffs] So...
- A former boyfriend? - No.
That photo was taken a few days ago.
Exactly.
Yoshii-san figured you were unaware.
I suggest you ask her what she is doing this evening—
Yoshii-san told me
he had cut his ties from his grandfather's world.
[Sugihara chuckles]
You think the Yakuza are the only ones to use these dirty tricks?
Leveraging compromised behavior is part of your world as well.
It's called human nature.
Who are you?
Really?
[in English] My Korean... It is not nearly as fluent as yours.
The truth is, I can barely speak it.
[stammers, in Japanese] You're Zainichi?
Like your family,
my grandparents came over before the war.
But...
that is all we have in common.
Let me tell you.
I have known Yoshii-san for many years now.
He is neither a fickle man nor a gambler.
Nor is he a man who abides by chaos or uncertainty.
If he has doubts,
he will cut you loose.
And if
he feels compromised...
he will do much worse.
Yoshii-san wants that golf course.

- [Naomi, on phone] Hello. - [stammers] It's me.
Just calling to hear your voice.
I miss you.
I miss you too.
But this filing, it's taking much longer than anticipated.
You need a break.
How about a quick dinner tonight?
I'd love to,
but I have to wait until everything gets printed.
But how about this weekend?
- Let's do that then. - [Naomi grunts]
I have to get back to work.
I'll call you later.

- [sighs] - [Sunja, in English] Mozasu.
I brought you something to eat from that noodle place you like.
Aren't you hungry? Please, eat.
[Mozasu sighs]
My stomach is still full. I had a big lunch today.
I don't think I'll be hungry for days.
What did you have for lunch?
I went to a Mexican restaurant with a friend.
A Mexican restaurant? You?
- Yes, me. I swear. - [laughs]
Is it really that shocking?
Who is this friend?
A friend I met that I feed the birds with.
- You probably wouldn't understand. - Birds?
What are you talking about? [stammers] Are you seeing someone?
We met at the grocery store.
He's a very nice man, son.
But you really need to try that Mexican restaurant.
The food was surprisingly spicy.
And try the margarita while you're there. [gasps]
It was really strong, you know!
I'm going to go do the back now.
[Mozasu sighs]
[staff, in Japanese] You can enter this way. Enter this way.
Don't push each other.
Stand in line.
[Sunja sighs, in English] Where is he?
He should be here by now.
[Sunja's mother] Weren't you the one saying there's nothing to do but wait?
He'll be here soon, alright?

WASEDA UNIVERSITY ACCEPTANCE LIST
[chattering continues]
[chattering fades]
[Mozasu, in English] Mother!
Hooray!
[Sunja's mother] There you are!
[laughs, sobs]
[Kyunghee] I'm so proud of you, Noa.
[Noa] And here's the list of classes open to the first years.
- [Kyunghee] Why am I so nervous? - [chuckles]
European and American history. [chuckles] Theory of Government Bonds.
- British Romanticism... - [Mozasu] Ugh!
[in Japanese] Sounds like torture.
Are you sure you want to do this?
[chuckles]
[in English] Enough talking. Just eat your food.
Nothing useful comes out of that mouth anyways.
[in Japanese] Maybe I should run away with you to Tokyo.
Even your boring classes have to be better than all this abuse.
[in English] What did you say? Huh?
Noa. What is it?
There's a summary of the other costs.
[gasps] What sort of costs?
Fees for entrance,
and for books, student activities,
experimental practice, equipment costs...
What's the total amount?
The total's about 2,400.
[inhales sharply]
Do you mean in addition to tuition fees and board?
- [stutters] What do we do? - [sighs]
Perhaps we could ask Mr. Koh to help with it?
No. I can't accept anyone else's money for it.
Noa. Don't worry, we'll pay it all back.
I'm sure there's a telegraph office near school.
If there is, I can get a job there.
[Sunja] No.
I saw how hard it was for you these past two years.
You're to focus on your studies.
- But, Mother, the fees— - Noa! We'll figure out the money.
Without borrowing from Mr. Koh.
How will you?
[Sunja] You don't need to concern yourself with that.
Eat your dinner before it gets cold.
Yes, let's eat. Come on. Here.
[Sunja] Here, have this one.

[in Japanese] Good evening.
I'm not sure if I'm in the right place.
What is the guest's name?
Sir?
- Cheers. - Cheers.
[no audible dialogue]
[patrons laugh]
[no audible dialogue]
[Sunja's mother, in English] What are you doing?
Mother.
What's all this?
I remembered we had some sugar from that deal a few months ago.
I thought, it should be enough to make some candies.
If they sell well, I can try to get some more sugar.
We could set up a second cart closer to the bus stop.
There are so many young people and families who take that line.
And what about your plans for your restaurant?
Then we'll wait a couple years.
When Noa finishes school.
Yes, let's see about it then.
Mother.
Sleep. I can do this.
Goodness, do you really think sleep will come now?
Hurry, bring that over.
[sizzling]
[Sunja, Sunja's mother speak indistinctly]
[informant, in Japanese] I swear, if I had known that you knew none of this,
I would never have done this.
But we heard you and the family were pulling out of the black markets.
From whom?
That's what everyone is saying. [gulps]
[Hansu] And this person who is trying to take over,
what's his name?
[shudders]
You're scared of him? Hmm?
I've heard some things.
Please, I'd rather not get involved.
[grunting]
[whimpers]
Yoshii Isamu.
I swear that is all I know.
[Hansu] You find out everything about this man.
I want no stone unturned. I want everything.
[Hansu sighs]
[Solomon] How long have you been seeing him?
[Naomi] That's not what it is.
[Solomon] Then what is it?
[Naomi] Our families have known one another for a long time.
Since we were little,
our parents got it into their heads that we'd be the perfect match.
[Solomon] Is that what he thinks?
[Naomi] He thinks whatever his parents think.
And you?
There was a time when I tried to convince myself.
But not anymore.
But you just...
You went along with it.
They're my parents.
What am I supposed to do?
I know I should've told you.
Yes, you should have.
Is there no way to save this?
[Solomon] Can you promise me
you'll never look away again?
Never again.
Can you do that?
I want to try.
That's not good enough.
In another world, perhaps.
Or if
you weren't you
and I wasn't me.
Isn't that the truth?
I need you...
to call in Abe-san's loan.
Abe-san?
But why?
[gasps]
No.
The story about the buried bones, did you leak that?
I never meant to drag you into this.
You have to believe me.
But now, it's not just about the money.
I need him to know.
[stammers] No.
I need everyone to know
that I'm here.
Even if you say so—
I have to ask. Please.
You can't ask me that!
Even if it destroys Abe-san, rumors about what I did to him would spread.
The whole industry would know.
I'm sorry, but I cannot.
You know that.
Then, I'll find a way. You know I will.
And I will have
no choice but to stop you.
[sighs]
[chattering]
[in English] Look at your hand.
You need to rest.
[Yoseb breathing shakily]
[Hansu] You wanted to see me?
[water running]
[Ryochi sighs]
Take this away.
What did the new doctor say?
I'm done with all that.
[crockery clinking]
You and I,
we've always talked frankly,
haven't we?
[inhales sharply]
You were the one to teach me the power of plain speaking.
I am grateful for that.
Yes.
Everyone talks too much these days.
They jabber on about this and that.
But the Americans will be gone soon.
And that's when your rising star takes the stage.
Kurogane-san.
You've made it clear you don't like him.
But he understands the work that needs to be done.
He's still young, but a promising man.
He is ambitious.
[sighs]
I think you are
confusing the two.
The party is still a fledgling.
Allegiances will shift.
Precisely.
All the more reason why...
I plan on sealing it with blood.
Even your loyalty
was bought the same way.
His willingness to accept Keiko, despite her only being a half-blood,
it speaks to his confidence in our family.
I won't allow it.
She's my daughter!
It's too late to start acting like your daughters' father.
[grunts]
We both know
there has only been that one son.
That hidden life.
Remember this.
For your sake,
I have never touched that family.
Do not make me consider otherwise.
[Noa, in English] Mother.
Noa.
Why are you down so early?
There's something I need to say to you.
What is it?
Are you not feeling well?
I'm not going to Waseda.
I told you not to worry about the money.
I'll take care of it.
I don't want it.
Not at the expense of your restaurant.
I won't do that.
Noa...
The restaurant... It was just a fool's gamble.
I see that clearly now.
I don't believe you.
It's my duty. I have a responsibility to this family—
How is going to university not fulfilling your duty?
Noa.
This isn't for you alone.
This is an opportunity for us all.
Think how many years I'll be gone.
We've been through so much already—
I can't bear it.
Leaving you to carry all that weight—
That's enough.
Your grandmother is with me, as well as your aunt.
- I can feel your disappointment— - I'm disappointed for you!
You deserve better than this.
And I'll get over it.
This is my home, Mother.
I need to stay here.
Noa.
- Noa! - [footsteps departing]
[sighs]
He's worried about the costs, and leaving us here—
[Hansu] What are you talking about?
Going to Waseda is not a choice.
Make him understand.
[sighs]
You don't think I've tried already?
He won't change his mind.
Because that boy doesn't understand.
All those years we barely had food in our stomachs were for this.
I gnawed on my father's fingers to fool my belly.
This is not acceptable.
He has to go.
I realize that, but how?
You make him see clearly.
It is time for you to pry his eyes open.
Make him see what this world really looks like.
You must convince him, or I will.
[Tom] And you're sure she won't budge?
She refuses.
[sighs] Okay, so what are we gonna do now?
Because I can't convince the directors with her in the way.
We have to get rid of her then, don't we?
What are you talking about?
[sighs] Yotsuba Finance.
Financial impropriety.
You know the playbook, Tom.
[Tom grunts]

Kato Tatsumi
[chuckles]
[Mozasu, in Japanese] No, this time it's not a missing person.
I know where he is.
I need you to find out everything about this guy.
Again, the name is...
Kato Tatsumi.
He is Japanese.
Whatever you can find.
Yes.
It's urgent.
I'll pay extra.
Later.
[sighs]

[clacking continues]
[Noa] Mother.
[announcer speaking Japanese]
[in English] Ever since you brought that tofu home,
I've been curious.
I want to see how they make it.
Ma'am!
[chuckles] I've been meaning to come by.
I hear Noa comes here often.
Let me prepare two plates.
No rush. Do not trouble yourself.
It's no trouble at all. Not at all.
- Please, have a seat. - Alright.
Mother, why have you brought me here?
So I could see for myself what else you could be considering.
[scoffs] It's not like that.
[Sunja] Look at those hands.
Still so soft and smooth.
When I look at her,
it reminds me of my early days living here.
I never thought I'd be here this long.
At the time, your father asked me to join him here.
We were little more than strangers, really.
When we came over, we both knew so little of the world.
Me especially.
Yeongdo was my world back then.
So when your father started teaching me all about his faith...
I remember it all sounded so strange.
In the beginning, I struggled with so much of it.
But then, he told me about Heaven.
And it all made sense to me.
When I...
When I think of Heaven, I see my Yeongdo.
I don't know what your Heaven is, Noa. But what I know is...
This is not it.
If you decide to stay...
I know that you will just sit here and the memories will burn in your soul.
I can never let that happen
because I made a promise to your father.
That no matter what,
I see to it that you and your brother thrive.
I intend on keeping that promise.
I'm sorry for the wait.
[chuckles]
I hope you like it.
Okay, let me try. [chuckles]
Mmm. It's delicious.
I can taste all the work that has gone into it.
Thank you.
Surely in Tokyo, the tofu will taste better.
It's such a big city after all.
But I hope you remember us when you have that tofu.
I can't imagine how it can possibly be as good as this.
So when I'm there...
I know I will miss this.
