(Different Dreams)
(Episode 23: Different Paths, Same Dream)
Lee Bong Chang from Patriotic Corps is in Kawasaki.
He plans to enter Tokyo in time for Japanese Emperor's parade.
We will target the street corner he'll pass after the parade.
Young Jin, please find out about the Emperor's exact route.
I will.
You're targeting the Emperor himself?
(Our paths may be different, but our dreams are the same.)
The Eastern Daily's Shanghai correspondent arrives in two days.
He's the one who uncovered the truth behind the Wanpaoshan Incident,
which Japan had fabricated.
We'll print the declaration of the provisional government...
with the largest papers immediately following the assassination.
Wouldn't it be safer to do that in Shanghai?
He plans to gather all the groups...
spread out all over the world into one place.
Manchuria. Russia.
He believes it's an opportunity to gather...
all the groups spread out in Beijing and Shanghai...
to gather under the flag of the Republic of Korea.
He wants to personally display his volition.
It won't be easy to get close to the Emperor.
Honestly, whether or not he dies is irrelevant.
The fact that we defied Japan...
in the middle of Tokyo is more than enough.
The impact will be substantial.
He wishes to join hands with the Heroic Corps.
A man named Baek Jong Sun...
entered through Gyeongseong Station last night.
However, according to the Shanghai government,
Baek Jong San is Kim Gu's alias.
Are you saying Kim Gu is in Gyeongseong?
Yes.
That is all I know for now.
Also,
Roku will arrive sometime tomorrow.
You check the entry records at Gyeongseong Station...
and start searching the area.
Once we catch Kim Gu, it'll all be over.
I hear it is impolite to drink without any food.
Hwa So was captured.
The gukbap restaurant owner?
They also took the innkeeper...
and some other merchants from Namdaemun.
Do you think it's because of us?
Because we beat up those detectives?
Why else?
- Where's the leader? - He went somewhere.
Inform him of the situation here...
and don't come back for the time being.
Got it.
Hello.
What's wrong?
Several people from Namdaemun street were taken.
- What about Se Joo? - He's fine.
It's probably because of Seung Jin, right?
Is everyone here?
Yes.
So, did you hear?
- Yes. - What do we do?
They suffered because of us.
We must find a way to help them.
Majar,
find out where they're being interrogated.
The butcher will help you.
- Okay. - Jung Im.
Call Jin Soo and So Min and tell them to start a rumour...
that Seung Jin left for Beijing in Namdaemun and Taepyeong.
Make sure the detectives hear it.
I understand what you mean.
You. Come with me.
Okay.
What advice do you need from me,
that you called me out separately like this?
Bluebird did not die.
What do you mean?
She was shot by Nagumo...
Is she still alive?
You're so dense.
Esther was never Bluebird.
What?
What other female doctor in Gyeongseong...
fits the description and attempted to assassinate...
Lee Young Jin.
Young Jin is the real Bluebird.
That's right.
Did she say that herself? That she's Bluebird?
She didn't deny it when I asked.
I knew she was an agent of the Korean Patriotic Corps,
but she's Bluebird? This is shocking.
Keep this to yourself.
Okay. But why are you suddenly telling me this?
The Korean Patriotic Corps is making its move.
Kim Gu came secretly to Gyeongseong.
What?
Kim Gu...
What's wrong with your leg?
I hurt it while working.
Where are the others?
Well, so... You see...
So, you didn't know...
that woman was the wife of an independence activist?
No.
How could I have known?
I'll keep this short. Where's Kim Seung Jin?
I don't know.
I never even met anyone by that name!
Matsuura!
- What? - Please come out.
What are you doing?
I was digging into Kim Seung Jin...
and several people around him caught my eye.
Even still!
That is an improper method of interrogation.
Kim Seung Jin's father and wife disappeared as well.
They disappeared without a trace within a few days...
after the bombing incident.
What could that mean?
When you joined Special Duty Team One,
you promised to report everything to me, did you not?
That's why I'm telling you now.
Some of the team members are hurt.
Do you have anything to say about that?
That was...
That is none of your concern.
Kim Gu is in Gyeongseong.
If you wish to work with me on finding him,
do as I say.
Anyone in custody who has a confirmed residence...
on whom you lack sufficient evidence shall be sent home.
If any of them still require further investigation,
have one of the injured team members do it.
Do you understand?
Understood.
(Joseon Government General Hospital)
We plan to build a hospital...
and research center in Manchuria run by the military police.
We need to send someone to run it.
What do you think, Dr. Ishida?
Are you kicking me out?
Why do you think that?
You'll be free to do any research you want there.
Like eugenics and bacterial toxicology.
What is it?
It's fine. You may speak.
I think Kim Gu came.
- Are you sure? - I think so.
Look into Oda's movements.
Yes, sir.
Is something wrong?
No.
(Gyeongseong Station)
Here it is. He arrived at 9:30.
Baek Jong Sun.
Jang Jin Goo.
Jang Jin Goo is probably Ahn Gong Geun.
Kim Gu and Ahn Gong Geun? Why?
Kim Gu must have supporters in Gyeongseong.
Did Kim Seung Jin really leave Gyeongseong?
His entire family disappeared, so I assume so.
The bombing in the government building and Count Noda's death.
Do you still think it was the same group?
I do.
Sir.
There's something I didn't tell you.
If Commissioner Kenta finds out I told you this,
I will probably be kicked out.
We had made a deal with Kim Seung Jin...
in order to get Kim Won Bong.
It was a trap.
Police officers and detectives died and were injured.
The bombing, Count Noda's death,
and Kim Seung Jin's trap.
I believe Kim Won Bong...
was behind them all.
And one more person.
Lee Young Jin.
Lee Bong Chang from Patriotic Corps is in Kawasaki.
We will target the street corner he'll pass after the parade.
Young Jin, please find out about the Emperor's exact route.
(11am, Sakuradamon Gate)
(Club Gyeongseong)
Why are we here?
I heard from Director Oda...
that all information that goes through Joseon...
passes through this club.
Do you mean Madam Yu?
I hear she makes much more...
from trading information than running this club.
Do you think we'll get anything worthwhile?
It's the first time you came together.
Do you have some time?
Please have a seat. Would you like a drink?
No, thank you.
Having people from both judicial agencies here at once...
is making me slightly afraid.
We are seeking some information.
We believe the number one on the wanted list...
entered Gyeongseong yesterday.
Have you heard anything about it?
I'm lost.
Of whom do you speak?
You're asking me about a wanted man?
Plus, you come without gifts and only make demands.
We will repay you for sure.
Please tell us if you know anything.
For you, yes.
I know you're good for it.
However, I have no information...
on such a person.
Is that right?
However, if such a person came to Gyeongseong,
he wouldn't have come alone.
If he is to do something,
he will make a big announcement regarding the result.
An announcement?
That is all I can tell you.
Thank you for your time.
Why don't you stop by the room next door?
Did you hear?
The club has a new owner.
It does?
What's this? She didn't tell you?
I bought Club Gyeongseong.
You did?
What's with that reaction?
Do you not care or did you expect it?
I heard you inherited Count Noda's estate...
when he died.
I heard it was quite a large sum.
Don't you want to know how much it was?
I'll go now.
Do you still like Young Jin?
If you're being cold to me because of her,
I have an idea.
The reason I bought the club...
isn't to make money selling drinks.
Club Gyeongseong evaluates valuable information.
I'm in the process of learning that.
Do you have...
information on Young Jin?
Perhaps.
I may...
or may not.
I may charge a fee...
or it may be free.
Do you think Madam Yu knows?
It doesn't look like it.
It's not like we can search all of Gyeongseong.
Find out if any foreign reporters came since yesterday.
Not a regular reporter,
but an editor-in-chief or above...
with editing authority.
I'll get the men on it.
Also...
may I put...
a tail on Lee Young Jin to follow her?
Then promise me.
Promise you'll keep my secret.
And I'll keep your secret too.
I'm good at telling...
if someone is faking...
their illnesses.
Do you have information on Young Jin?
The parade will pass through Sakuradamon Gate...
between 11am and noon.
In 1860,
the Japanese Chief Minister...
was assassinated outside Sakuradamon Gate.
Contact Japan.
Sakuradamon Gate, 11am.
Yes, sir.
I need to talk to you.
The military police know...
that you've come.
When is the correspondent arriving?
Tomorrow at 10am.
Young Jin and I will give him the declaration...
of the provisional government, so you should return to Shanghai.
If we don't make a proper declaration,
the Japanese government will take action.
They'll probably say it's the work of lunatics...
and bury it or persuade the public.
We must notify the world that this is a strategy...
that the provisional government of the Republic of Korea approved.
I will need your help until then.
Can you do that?
You said before...
that once this is all done,
you'll live an ordinary life, correct?
There is something...
I really want to do when that day comes.
What is it?
When we can live ordinary lives.
I heard someone accompanied you in Manchuria.
He is a pharmaceutical intermediary.
He opened a tailor shop in Gyeongseong recently.
I heard you had plans with Count Noda.
I did.
I introduced him...
to Jin Gook Bin, whom I told you about before.
(Shin Eon Jun, Eastern Daily's Shanghai Correspondent)
Are you Mr. Shin Eon Jun?
- Yes. - You're being followed.
Take a taxi and go.
Wait in your hotel room. I'll come to get you.
I'll do that.
Hello.
He's Chief Inspector Matsuura...
and this is our team.
We're checking to see if a foreign reporter came to Gyeongseong.
Lim Jung Ryong told us one more thing.
Kim Gu has a supporter in Gyeongseong...
and that person's code name is Bluebird.
Bluebird.
I thought Kim Esther, who died, was Bluebird?
That is what he said.
Bluebird.
Special Duty Team One.
A correspondent from Eastern Daily...
arrived at Gyeongseong Hotel.
(Gyeongseong Hotel)
What's the update?
He went into the reserved room.
But a detective is on his tail. What should we do?
I know. That's why we came separately.
We have only one hour.
We need to lose the tail.
Chief Inspector Matsuura, guard the front door.
Detective Daiki, guard the back door.
He can't notice us before he goes to Kim Gu.
Yes, sir.
Sir.
Prosecutor Fukuda, I'll put in a call to Shanghai.
Go ahead.
Hello!
(Episode 24)
Prosecutor Fukuda, I'll put in a call to Shanghai.
Go ahead.
Hello!
- Who knew we'd meet here? - I didn't either.
Are you staying at this hotel?
No,
I was on my way out from a meeting.
What brings you here though?
I'm here to meet someone too.
I see.
Well, I'll see you around then.
- We should get going. - Yes, sir.
You over there.
Excuse me.
Is the guest in Unit 308 alone?
He was washing up.
- He's washing up? - What is this about?
It's nothing.
Prosecutor Fukuda.
This is Special Agent Roku from the Shanghai Consulate.
He's in Unit 308.
He must not know until he gets moving.
Aren't you going to arrest him?
Not until he meets someone or heads out.
Other detectives are posted at the front and back entrance.
Special Agent Roku will relieve you from your post.
What about you?
I'll be in the lobby.
If he leaves the room, follow him from a distance.
Sure thing.
Darn it.
Darn!
- Go! - Yes, sir.
Freeze!
Hello?
Understood.
Out of the two grenades,
only one went off.
1 of the 3 carriages was flipped over,
but there were no casualties.
Even when he was being arrested, Lee Bong Chang took out our flag...
and hailed independence.
Even until his last moments, he enjoyed drinks and songs.
Before he left, he said this with a smile.
"I am on my way to enjoy eternal pleasure,"
"so do not feel sad for me."
I wish to honour his wishes...
and let people know who he was.
Here is the press release regarding Lee Bong Chang.
Mr. Lee's heroic deed...
will be reported in the Shingang Daily and the China Press...
as a measure to regain Joseon's independence.
(Sakuradamon Incident:)
(Lee Bong Chang threw grenades at an imperial procession.)
(He was put on trial for high treason on the 16th.)
(Lee Bong Chang was executed.)
From deep within my heart,
I joined the Korean Patriotic Corps to fight for my country's...
independence and freedom.
As its member, I vowed to eliminate my enemy's leader.
(Lee Bong Chang)
I'm home.
There you are.
Do we have a guest?
It must be someone who travelled a distance.
I'll bring some to your room.
Let me serve this.
Would you?
Please have some fruit.
You came home late today.
I had a lot of work at the office.
Say hello to the devil.
This is my daughter Young Jin.
This is General Murai.
It's a pleasure to meet you,
Ms. Lee Young Jin.
We should eat.
Can you take a look...
at his operative records when you have the time?
He was wounded in action...
and the bullet fragments are still inside his abdomen.
Right here.
It's where the bullet is.
An assassination attempt in the heart of Tokyo?
We'll talk about the rest tomorrow.
Yes.
I'll see you around,
Ms. Lee.
- Aren't you coming in? - Sorry?
It's a pleasure to meet you, Ms. Lee Young Jin.
Right here.
It's where the bullet is.
All right.
You're here.
Did you look into it?
General Murai of the Kwantung army came in three days ago.
Here is where he's staying and the room number.
(Gyeongseong Hotel)
That was fast.
You're here alone without a partner?
You pretended not to know me today.
What's your game?
Should I have...
revealed your identity to Lieutenant General Hiroshi?
What's your intention?
A doctor of the Government General Hospital...
who shot a Japanese soldier.
If I end up dying, everyone will know who you are.
Also,
Kim Won Bong...
The militia soldier we captured in Manchuria...
told me that the man was Kim Won Bong.
I have...
left information on you and him to someone I trust.
If I fail to call in every 24 hours,
that information will be sent to the Governor Office...
and to Lieutenant General Hiroshi.
You didn't turn in it yet...
because you want the money.
The bounty on Kim Won Bong's head to be exact.
I could have you captured and tortured until the brink of death.
Go ahead.
- Tell me where you hid it. - Shoot me.
I've already died once.
This time, I'll take everything from you.
You have two days to bring me Kim Won Bong.
If you do,
I'll tell you where I hid...
the information on you.
Young Jin.
Join me for some tea.
Go and get changed first.
I liked how you...
used to crawl into my bed on thundery nights.
It's why I sometimes waited for thunder to roar.
I'm trying to remember...
when you first started...
to stay in your own room.
Children begin to harbour secrets in their teenage years,
so it was probably around that time.
If your father finds out that you've been...
roaming the streets in that outfit...
Maybe I should move out.
You're probably uncomfortable...
living with a child old enough to marry.
I should've known better.
That's not what I'm saying. I...
If anything bad happens because of me,
I won't be able...
to live with myself.
Then make sure nothing like that happens.
If this is about your marriage,
we can find someone decent for you.
If there comes a time for me to marry,
I'll be the one...
who chooses my husband.
I'm sorry.
(Joseon Government General Hospital)
I apologize for not coming around often.
Young Jin's busy at the hospital these days,
and I know that your work has been quite hectic too.
The incident in Japan...
had a huge impact here in Gyeongseong too.
Are you...
after Kim Gu?
So you knew.
To be exact, we're after Kim Gu's spy.
His spy?
After considering every aspect,
we've come to the conclusion that...
his spy works closely with the Governor Office.
Are you saying that we have a spy among us?
It's still only a working theory.
If that spy is Japanese,
then there's nothing we can do without definitive evidence.
Please let me know if I can assist you in any way.
Sure.
If anything bad happens because of me,
I won't be able to live with myself.
(I authorize Bluebird.)
Though small,
Japan has given them their own land to live on.
The land originally belongs to the people of Joseon.
Joseon should've been able to develop their own country,
but Japan took it away from them.
To be exact, we're after Kim Gu's spy.
(11am, Sakuradamon Gate)
The bounty on Kim Won Bong's head.
Is his dead body just as acceptable?
If we don't figure out who he left the information with,
I might have to leave Gyeongseong.
You too, Young Jin.
Did you perhaps find this in Young Jin's room?
- No, it's mine. - Murai who came by yesterday...
told me that someone I knew was a traitor.
Do you have any information on Kim Gu's spy?
I'm willing to pay for it.
- Found it. - "Despite the waves,"
"a fisherman never caves in."
Whoever leeks any information will be found and killed.
