(Different Dreams, Episode 5: Shanghai)
(North Manchuria)
(Yoo Tae Joon)
(In charge of Comintern's funds and procures weaponry)
(Kim Seung Jin, Tae Joon's spy)
Are you ready to go to Shanghai?
Yes, I just need to leave.
Why are you glancing at me?
Well...
It seems like something happened in Gyeongseong.
It's about Kim Esther.
I heard that she went through with it.
The assassination fell through.
She was killed immediately.
There was another doctor at the scene of the crime.
Dr. Lee Young Jin is safe.
She was interrogated but was released.
She's in Shanghai right now.
(Joseon Governor Office)
Hello, sir.
Hey.
Fukuda.
Would you like some coffee?
No, thank you. I've had three cups already.
Thanks.
I heard you're busy going on blind dates these days.
My parents won't listen to me even though I tell them it's fine.
A prosecutor should know how to refuse firmly.
You need to take my place someday.
I'll keep that in mind, sir.
Fukuda.
I need you to go to Shanghai.
- Sorry? - Why are you so surprised?
It's nothing, sir.
- What's in Shanghai? - It's Yoo Tae Joon.
Comintern's funds that he's managing is...
over 6,000 dollars.
(It's worth about 51 million dollars now.)
That's quite a hefty sum to have to himself.
That's why the factions...
of the provisional government have gone mad.
They want it.
That money shouldn't go to the provisional government...
or the Heroic corps.
Is he in Shanghai?
No.
He's somewhere in Mongolia or Manchuria.
It's difficult to locate him.
He has a henchman by the name of Kim Seung Jin.
I received a tip-off that he frequents Shanghai.
Find him,
and interrogate him on Yoo Tae Joon's whereabouts.
The consulate will provide you with the men and information...
that you need.
What is it?
Is this too much for you?
It is, sir.
Would you rather sit behind a desk...
and write up petitions of appeal?
If that's what you were meant to do,
I wouldn't have taken you in.
I'm aware of that, sir.
Sir.
(Matsurra, Noh Jeong Sul, Secret Police)
Those official papers were sent from the consulate in Shanghai.
Kim Seung Jin is headed there.
Prosecutor Fukuda is...
also on his way.
Fukuda.
It's him again.
Have some before you go.
I just got them.
I need to go right now.
I'll put them in your room.
Okay, thank you.
Will you be late?
I'll only know once I get there. See you later.
- Be safe. - Okay.
(Fudan University)
I have no need to see...
a woman like you.
Those are my favorite.
(Shanghai Station)
Have you located his whereabouts?
(Roku, special agent of the Japanese Consulate in Shanghai)
Someone ordered 500 shots of Salvarsan.
We're locating the recipient.
(Salvarsan: a type of arsenic, used to treat infectious diseases)
If it's indeed Kim Seung Jin,
he mustn't know that we're watching him before he leaves.
Keep your distance.
And tail the broker who will meet him.
Yes, sir.
Will you head straight to the consulate?
Is there a place where I can buy some umeboshi and plum wine?
(Umeboshi: fermented ume fruits)
Of course.
Let's stop by then.
He wanted me to tell you...
that he's regretting not helping Esther.
He says her reckless death is his fault.
Where is Tae Joon right now?
I can't tell you.
In the end, he'll regret and blame himself...
in hiding.
He's being threatened right now.
If you want me to relay anything...
No, thanks.
Don't ever come looking for me again.
I thought you had no more business with me.
Who was that man?
I need to meet...
Yoo Tae Joon.
I know who you are.
You're the man who brings death.
You're Kim Won Bong, the leader of the Heroic Corps.
That's you, isn't it?
Disappear from my sight if you don't want to be arrested.
If you show up once again,
I will report you to the Japanese Consulate.
Did I surprise you?
You did.
I'm sorry to make you leave when you came all the way here.
It's my fault for not telling you in advance.
I'm still glad that I got to see you.
Let's have a meal together when you're free.
I'll go to you.
Really?
Yes.
This is a special day.
You mentioned meeting again for the first time.
Goodbye, then.

(Geumseong Hotel, Cheongbang headquarters)
(Du Wol Seong, boss of Cheongbang)
(Lee So Min, secretary)
My mother barely eats.
She only has bits of the beef porridge...
which I feed her.
I only come here once a day to feed her.
But I'm sure that she took care of me...
every single moment of my life while growing up.
Since he asked me to, I agreed to meet with you.
However,
I don't know anything about you.
I have a favor to ask.
Like I said,
I don't know you.
Wait.
He's wary of strangers.
But once he puts his trust in you,
he will believe and support you as long as you don't betray him.
Do I look like I have the time?
I understand.
I'll make another appointment for you soon.
Right.
About what you said yesterday...
One of our lower organizations deals with medical supplies.
Someone asked for large quantities of a certain medicine.
He goes by the name of Hong Cheon Sung.
But he won't say where he's from or what the supplies are for,
so we have yet to do business with him.
But I heard...
that a Japanese consul is tailing him.
I need to meet him.
(Kim Seung Jin, Yoo Tae Joon's spy)
Would you like a glass of maotai?
I'd prefer a glass of "nojuteukgok".
(Traditional liquor made in Sichuan, China)
I guess 500 shots are impossible to get.
They got what they got because they're Cheongbang.
I'm hesitant...
about getting involved with them.
Du Wol Seong values money...
more than justice or relationships.
But then again, money never lies.
All right.
Would you like to check your goods?
Right... Right now?
Move aside! Move!
Move! Get out of the way!
Let's go! Hurry!
Follow me.
- Stay still. - Who are you?
That's none of your business!
I will be straightforward.
I need to meet Yoo Tae Joon.
I'm Kim Won Bong, the leader of the Heroic Corps.
If you're Kim Won Bong, I'm Stalin.
Kim Gu sent you, didn't he?
You're spies sent from the provisional government, right?
You punk, why do you think we're from there?
Don't you look at a mirror?
This little punk.
Why did you meet Lee Young Jin yesterday?
Who's that?
I don't know her.
I guess you didn't know,
but the Japanese Consulate is tailing you.
And Cheongbang has no plans to make a deal with you.
Let me tell you again.
We're not interested in the money that disappeared.
We just need to find...
that bomb technician.
That's what you all say.
But in the end, you're all after the money.
You son of a gun.
Are you really not going to spill?
Do you want to die?
Will Yoo Tae Joon show up...
if we threaten Lee Young Jin?
I don't know her.
I don't care if you kill her.
Do whatever you want.
A prosecutor from the Joseon Governor Office...
has arrived in Shanghai.
After he finished work, he met that woman.
She's the adopted daughter of a Japanese general.
What's the big deal...
about a Japanese prosecutor...
meeting the daughter of a Japanese general?
I was watching Kim Won Bong as you ordered.
He was also watching her.
They met once as well.
How was the Xiaolongbao?
(Xiaolongbao: Chinese dumplings)
It was good. It was quite hot, though.
That's why I told you to take small bites.
When will you return to Gyeongseong?
I'll have to see.
I won't go back anytime soon, so don't worry.
What is it?
You smile like...
cherry blossoms in full bloom.
You show a big smile all of a sudden.
There's no middle ground.
I like...
the way you smile.
I'll tell you what I like about you...
one by one...
every time we meet.
Is something wrong?
Kim Seung Jin has disappeared.
Ms. Lee Young Jin.
You might...
put Cheongbang in danger.
I don't think he'll spill.
I think it'll be better if we catch Lee Young Jin and interrogate her.
(Rooftop. Jin.)
Cheongbang...
has Ms. Lee Young Jin.
A prosecutor from the Joseon Governor Office...
visited her.
We also know who her adoptive father is.
After further investigation,
if we find out that a Japanese spy is...
aiding a Japanese prosecutor,
she will die.
She's not a spy.
Are you sure?
She knows who I am.
If she was a Japanese spy,
she would've told them about me.
Where is she?
Is she...
so important to you that you are willing to give up...
on Cheongbang?
There's no other way to find Yoo Tae Joon.
- Is she your only way? - Yes.
It will take some time,
but Cheongbang will find him no matter what.
Give up on her,
and gain Cheongbang.
Where were you?
Cheongbang has Lee Young Jin.
So? What will you do?
We need to bring her back.
Has shadowing her for two months...
made you mad?
We're talking about Cheongbang!
You will die before you get to their doors.
Since you won't talk,
I'll bring her here.
Hold on.
Let's think about it.
Don't be so reckless.
Nam Ok.
(Episode 6 will air shortly.)
(Episode 6)
Lee Young Jin has been captured by Cheongbang...
and is at Geumseong Hotel.
Is there something wrong?
What is Cheongbang?
(Geumseong Hotel, Cheongbang headquarters)
In Shanghai, Cheongbang holds more powerful...
than the government or the military.
The 25,000 rickshaws...
that roam all areas of Shanghai are its ears and feet.
The 3,000 or more vendors are its eyes.
Cheongbang knows everything that happens in Shanghai.
All information flows to them and the organization uses it...
to make a fortune with illegal casinos and imports.
Other gangs in Shanghai...
pay fees to its boss.
Who is the man...
behind the operation?
His name is Du Wol Seong.
I'm So Min.
Please tell me if there's anything you need.
Why are you doing this to me?
I'm just your average doctor.
This is So Min.
What?
All right.
Someone is here to save you.
No one would dare...
take on Cheongbang for a mere doctor.
I'll tell you what I like about you...
one by one...
every time we meet.
You must wait.
But she's...
There will be trouble if we barge in without permission.
Get him!
What is that gun for?
The boss gave me orders.
No matter who opens this door,
I will shoot.
It's dangerous, so step back.
Don't move.
Is he dead?
He's alive.
The boss wants to meet you.
Both of you.
You can't get out of here without Cheongbang's permission anyway.
I'm sure you know that.
Also,
there's a Japanese prosecutor at the front gate.
Please leave. You're obstructing our business.
You're holding a Japanese national.
Let her go,
and I won't hold you responsible.
You won't look into who brought her here...
or why.
Is that it?
Yes.
You're either naive...
or brazen.
What does that mean?
You really don't know?
Prosecutor Fukuda, you're the reason she was brought here.
Try what you did in Gyeongseong...
and the consequence won't be pretty.
You're in Shanghai now.
She is familiar with guns.
Why?
Is it because her stepfather is a soldier?
I'd rather not come across you anymore.
Is this about Tae Joon?
Is finding him...
that important?
Do you have any idea what you went through?
You could've died.
Is life and death...
a joke to you?
Lee Young Jin has no ties with the Bureau of Judicial Affairs.
Prosecutor Fukuda met her for personal reasons.
Please give me an update when you know more.
Cheongbang must've had Fukuda followed.
They saw him meet Young Jin...
and that triggered suspicion.
Young Jin's life could be in jeopardy.
I must know what's going on in Shanghai.
The Bureau of Judicial Affairs is after Kim Seung Jin.
You know Yoo Tae Joon, right?
Kim is directly under Yoo.
Are you trying to bring up Young Jin's connection...
to Yoo Tae Joon?
Lee Young Jin, Kim Esther, and Yoo Tae Joon.
The three were close friends in college.
Could this really be a coincidence?
One planned an assassination...
and one funds a terrorist group.
Enough!
She must be investigated.
If you want to question her,
find the evidence first.
[Kocowa Ver] MBC E06 'Different Dreams' "Cheongbang" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-
A weak enemy should be eliminated right away,
but a formidable enemy...
should be made a friend.
I'm still pondering over whether to kill you...
or befriend you.
That woman...
is the daughter of a military police general.
Did you know that?
I do.
He's a military police general,
but he's also a doctor.
The man...
she met today...
is a prosecutor of the Joseon Governor Office.
Were you aware of that too?
Is your judgment clouded...
or...
are you being reckless because she's a woman?
My men went to bring someone.
Someone you know.
Let's see...
what this person has to say.
Whether you live...
or die...
will be decided afterward.
Why are you doing this to me?
Where am I?
Ma Young Seong.
Please inform us...
of your boss.
Who hired you?
No one did.
Let me ask again.
Tell me. Who hired you?
No one did.
Why are you...
A few years after the Russo-Japanese War ended,
a Korean was arrested in Harbin.
He was a double agent serving both...
a Russian and a Chinese warlord.
Both denied...
knowing this Korean.
Rather than admitting to espionage,
they chose to cut off loose ends.
That Korean...
sided with the Japanese by handing over information...
about the Russian army...
that was ousted from the revolution...
and Chinese local warlords.
That woman, Ma Young Seong.
She's a Korean spy also known as Black Iris.
Did you know that?
Being aware of it is a problem,
but not knowing...
also questions your competence.
No matter how I think about it, you and the Heroic Corps...
will not do Cheongbang any service.
Lee Young Jin...
has nothing to do with Heroic Corps.
She won't cause you any trouble.
That I can guarantee.
You must have...
poor judgment when it comes to people.
Either that, or you're trying to fool me.
Lee Young Jin...
is already a spy...
or is in the making of becoming a brilliant one.
She's gifted in that department.
Did you not catch on to that?
Young Jin.
Young Jin...
You were hired...
by the vice-director of Government General Hospital,
Hiroshi.
He ordered you to update him about Ms. Lee twice a week.
I don't know anything about this.
Do you know what's odd though?
When you found out that Ms. Lee went missing,
he wasn't the first person...
you called.
You called the director of the Joseon Governor Office,
Director Oda.
It's...
It's all a lie. This isn't true.
We just verified it.
You were working for...
both General Hiroshi...
and Director Oda as a double agent.
It's not true, right?
Tell me it's a lie.
He's wrong.
Young Jin, they're telling lies.
No, it's not true.
Don't!
No!
Lee Young Jin...
What does she mean to you?
Why are you willing...
to put your life on the line...
and be reckless when it comes to defending her?
Do not fret...
for Lee Young Jin is still alive.
What moves you...
isn't your brain but your heart.
To be honest, that's the type I prefer.
Those who try to be smart all the time...
are hard to trust.
Not learning how...
to conceal your passion and spirit...
is why you die today.
Do you have...
any last words?
Please support Heroic Corps...
with weapons, funds,
and a hideout in Shanghai.
What?
Call it a deal...
or a request if you want.
All right.
What will you...
give me in return then?
Japan has taken over Joseon.
Beijing, Hangzhou, and even Shanghai?
It'll only take them a couple of years.
You must know that.
Are you saying...
that you and the Heroic Corps will stop them?
We can at least slow them down.
During that time,
Cheongbang will be able to reserve its power.
You think...
too highly of yourself.
Who said anything about an all-out war?
