Hotel King

Cha Jae Wan.

Let’s…

…escape from here together.

Why are you saying that?

Something happened to you?

Cha Jae Wan.

Your mom is still alive.

Did Baek Mi Nyeo do something else?

No.

It isn’t that.

[EP26 Hotel King]

Are you okay now?

Tell me then.

Something happened to you, right?

Suddenly I was really scared about…

...what's going to happen to us.

I don't know if fighting with Baek Mi Nyeo...

...is really the right thing to do.

So you want to escape?

Is this because what happened to me this morning?

You’re scared of Baek Mi Nyeo?

The person who tried to kill you…

…was your mother.

How can you stand this?

I told you…

…that the environment I grew up in was a very horrible place.

You can't imagine how bad it was.

I was beaten all day without knowing the reason...

…and I couldn’t fight against them because I was too young.

Ju Han and I lived through it...

...with the hope that we'd be able to escape one day.

The situation is different now…

…since I have strength and a reason to stand and fight against my enemies.

That's you, Mo Ne.

Cha Jae Wan.

So…

…trust me.

I trust you.

I'll continue to trust you.

Let’s go back now.

A little more…

Let’s stay here a little longer.

The owner isn’t back from fishing yet...

...so I haven't had a chance to ask him my question.

So…

…let’s stay here a little longer.

Director Lee.

I’d like to tell you something.

Ah.

Mr. Sun Woo Hyun.

I heard that the son of Jin Woo Farms' CEO was working as a concierge.

Haven’t you heard that…

…someone tried to kill the general manager…

...by hitting him with a car early this morning?

What are you talking about?

You’re surprised too, right?

I saw such an absurd incident with my own eyes.

The general manager stopped me from calling the police...

...to avoid spreading more rumors about Ciel, but...

...if the culprit is in Ciel, then that's a different story, isn't it?

You sound like…

…you know who the culprit is.

It was 5 AM in the morning.

It was an hour when most people are still asleep...

…but someone showed up right after.

It was your mother, the current chairman of Ciel.

Excuse me, Mr. Sun Woo Hyun.

Don’t be upset.

I don't want it to be her either...

...but…

...there's got to be a reason the GM and Miss Ah covered it up...

...even though it was a terrible accident.

I think you're the one who will be able to find out the truth about it.

Where did you go so early in the morning?

I went out for a walk and ran into an employee who's been misbehaving...

…so I taught him a lesson.

If the chairman meddles in everything…

…the employees wouldn’t like it.

[1982, a gift from heaven, Hyun Woo’s first birthday]

You said you’d be here soon.

What do you want to have for lunch?

Let’s go out.

The employee you rebuked this morning…

Was it the general manager?

I heard that he took the day off because of it.

Now he's even told on me to you?

How pathetic.

The whole time you've fostered me...

...you've taught me not to fight...

…and not to harm others.

I only intimidated him a little so he would behave.

What if he keeps acting against you?

What if he keeps disrupting you?

Will you kill him then?

I thought that you’d believe me no matter what.

It hurts me to see how you’re looking at me now.

Still, Cha Jae Wan can't win against me.

Don’t take it.

Just for today.

I told Cha Su Wan that you’d be away.

You’re acting strange today.

Why is this strange?

Just for one day…

…I want to be with my lover, Cha Jae Wan...

...and not the general manager.

It’s true that…

…we haven’t had a proper date yet.

Get it now?

Let's just be an ordinary couple...

…and pretend that nothing bad happens to us.

Let’s play tag here…

…and draw a heart and write "I love you" in the sand.

Let's build a sandcastle, too.

Did he take you to your mother's grave?

It's a mess because he hasn't taken good care of it.

What a bastard.

That’s true.

But honestly…

…I was happy.

I've always felt like dust just floating in the air...

...not really desired by anyone.

Now I know there really was someone...

...who gave birth to me.

I feel relieved…

…after I meeting my mom.

You're a grown man. Why do you keep saying "mom"?

Are you jealous?

Yes, I'm jealous.

You've only talked about your mother since you got here.

Fine. I’ll carry you on my back.

What are you hesitating for?

You don't get this kind of chance very often.

You should gain some weight.

You’re too light.

The day we came here first…

...was the day you found out who your father is, right?

Yes.

Is that why you left me?

Back then…

...I thought it was the only way I could protect you.

What if…

What if…

…something similar happens to you again.

Will you leave me again?

Luckily…

…I only have one father.

The amount of love you get in life...

…is the same for everyone.

If you aren’t loved by many people…

…then you'll be loved a lot by one person.

And if you weren’t loved as a child...

...you'll be loved more as an adult.

It’s fair, isn’t it?

Hyun Woo.

From now on…

…I’m your mother…

…sister, and lover.

I’ll be with you forever.

You weren’t loved when you were young…

…so I’ll love you even more now to make up for it.

I'll love you and protect you forever.

You only need...

...to think of me.

It’s done then.

If you cry this often…

…how can you protect me?

I won’t let go of you…

…until I die.

No.

Don’t let go of me even after you die.

I love you.

Keep your promise…

…that you will...

… never leave me no matter what.

Yes.

I promise you.

I’ll never leave you either.

You trust me, right?

Hyun Woo.

I hate it when you're hurt.

What should I do?

How can I…

...protect you?

We’re here already.

Mo Ne.

Baek Mi Nyeo…

I'm going to report her to the police.

I’m almost ready to do it.

You'll get back Ciel and your title.

Is that necessary?

I mean…

…you could be in more danger…

…and now I want to fight with her directly.

I just want you to be the hotel's general manager.

Don’t worry.

I won’t be in danger.

Go on.

[CEO Baek Mi Nyeo]

A maid visiting the chairman during work hours?

That's interesting.

I’m not here as the maid Ah Bok Soon…

…but as Ah Mo Ne who trusted you and relied on you once…

…to ask you a question.

Then ask.

I know that…

…you were in this room the night my father died.

Did you really…

…kill my father?

You should come to me earlier to ask this.

Even if that is the truth…

…what can you do?

Will you run to general manager and snitch on me?

Or…

…will you whine for a reinvestigation…

…even when there’s no evidence?

It’s over

Get out.

Answer me.

It's not true, is it?

It was a coincidence you were here then.

You didn’t kill my father.

Why aren’t you denying it?

What kind of trick is this, Ah Mo Ne?

It's not a trick.

And I’m not trying to harass you, either.

I just need the truth.

The truth...

...that you didn't kill my father.

You hated my father, but you didn’t kill him.

Please tell me that you didn’t do it.

You couldn't have.

If you really did...

…he…

He won't be able to take it this time.

Who is he?

Miss Ah Mo Ne.

This is the chairman’s office.

Stand up.

Tell me you didn’t do it.

You didn’t do it.

You didn’t…

…kill my father.

Stand up.

Let go of me.

I have to hear her answer.

Her answer has to be no.

My mother…

…didn’t kill Chairman Ah Sung Won.

That’s what you want to believe…

…because she's your mother.

I’m as desperate as you are.

Ju Han.

Do you blame your brother?

You heard about us from the general manager.

It’s an old story.

There’s nothing I blame him...

…or hate him for.

He’s very sorry to you, Ju Han.

He painfully regrets...

...leaving you alone.

He was deceived by Lee Jung Ku…

...into believing you were adopted by a good family.

He was just an eleven year old kid too.

He never abandoned you, Ju Han...

...so please…

…forgive him.

Please leave here with your mother…

…so they can stop fighting each other.

Why are you asking me to stop them so desperately?

They shouldn't be fighting each other.

I should stop them.

I want to stop them, but…

…there’s not much I can do...

...because…

She’s his mother.

I need more evidence to prove…

…Baek Mi Nyeo manipulated the faulty construction when Chairman Ah was alive.

For now…

...the total losses from all her malpractice is over half a million...

…so it’s enough.

I'll tie it up with suspicion of her stock manipulation for the disposal.

There’s a file for Director Loman too.

It's easier to collect evidence on him.

When I went to the States to take care of Chairman Ah’s work…

...the circumstances of his illegal investment emerged.

We have to have solid evidence to tie him to Chairman Baek…

…so she can’t escape from her charges...

...even if she manipulates the prosecution.

Currently…

…we don’t know how far her network reaches.

We just have to be thoroughly prepared.

As soon as the police begin their investigation on her...

…we should work with the press.

Be prepared for that in advance.

Yes, I will.

By the way…

…about Jun Sung…

Thank you.

Nice shot.

You're leaving Korea tomorrow?

Yes.

When you arrive at the airport…

…the police will be there for you.

Would you like to be so rich…

...you can just play golf the rest of your life...

…and stop being a filthy hyena?

Do you mean that you’ll give me another chance?

I need people to invest in the hotel.

Describe how nice and safe the hotel is...

...so they'll invest as much in it as they can.

Then what will happen?

Bankruptcy.

As soon as we get the investment…

...promissory note will be issued continuously.

If the hotel’s liability exceeds its value…

…then it’ll blow up just like that.

Ciel will be destroyed by sudden bankruptcy.

Don’t you think that'll be fun?

He's going...

...to call the police on my mother?

Ciel would still be your hotel...

…if my mother hadn't stolen it from you.

You’re telling me this because…

…you’ll tell him...

...about his mother?

I’m not sure.

I can only think about how to save him right now.

Cha Jae Wan…

…reported Lee Jung Ku to the police…

…for the hotel…

…even though he knew that Lee Jung Ku was his father.

That can't happen twice.

If it does, he won’t make it.

Please...

...help me.

Ju Han.

Are you here to see me?

Mr. General Manager.

Would you like to play ball with me?

I'll be right back after I change my clothes.

Wait here.

When I was young…

…I thought that you were stronger than Superman…

...but after seeing you throw today...

…and I realize how wrong I was.

I'll show you my real strength next time.

Next time...

Visit me often.

I heard…

…what my mother did to you.

She’d do it intentionally…

…because she hates you so much.

Like you said...

...wouldn't it be better if we were still just enemies?

Jaden.

You shouldn't report her to the police.

I'm not saying I want you to just forgive her.

Just…

...have mercy on her for my sake.

Let's just get her dismissed as chairman.

I’ll help you with that…

…and I’ll leave here with her as soon as she’s dismissed.

I’ve thought about her a lot and…

…I’m sorry to tell you this...

...but…

…your mother isn’t a woman you can handle.

Even if she's dismissed as chairman...

- …she won’t leave here just like that. - I’ll make her to do it.

I can do it.

I’ll take her with me and leave here...

...because the most important person to her is…

…me for now.

I love her very much.

If you get her arrested...

…I can’t live with that.

My brother…

...seems to have grown up being well-loved.

I'm grateful to hear that.

I really am.

No.

The one she's loved the last twenty years wasn't me.

It was you.

She's never loved me for who I am.

She wanted to see you through me…

…so I’ve lived as her beloved son instead of you.

If you steal my mother from me now...

…I’ll be too pitiful.

Please understand me, *Hyung.

[Hyung: Older brother or older male]

I’m sorry.

Would you mind if I disturb you for a while?

Sure.

I saw Ju Han.

Did you?

I played ball with him...

…and we had a drink together.

He called me Hyung like he did as a kid.

I should treat Ju Han well too.

He's Baek Mi Nyeo's son. Don’t you hate him?

Ju Han is your brother too.

I have something to tell you.

I've decided not to turn Baek Mi Nyeo in to the police.

Instead…

…I'm going to persuade the directors…

…to dismiss her as chairman.

Ju Han said he’ll help me…

…and then they’ll leave here together.

I’m sorry.

It’s good…

It’s really good to hear that.

Is it?

I thought you’d be disappointed.

If you report Baek Mi Nyeo to the prosecution…

...she's not the only one who would be in trouble.

Ju Han would be investigated too…

...and if he were arrested because of it...

...you'd be unhappy.

I don’t want that.

We’re in the residence.

You're the one who officially announced...

…Ah Mo Ne is in love with Cha Jae Wan.

I don’t mind even if someone sees us.

91, 92, 93, 94, 95…

There are about 95 cream puffs in one box.

The building was shaking...

...so I thought there was an earthquake...

...but it turns out it was just you running, Ms. So Mun Jung.

Hey, Manager Jang.

Why are you being so mean to her?

I have breaking news.

I was on the rooftop balcony with Mr. Go…

...and saw the general manager with Miss Ah Bok Soon.

They were practically attached to each other...

...and hugging tightly like this.

Oh my God, I was so surprised!

I'm so jealous.

She gets to work and date here.

You could do it too, Miss Yoon Da Jung.

You don’t need a license to date.

There isn't anyone for me to date.

[Oppa: Older brother or older male]

Woo Hyun *Oppa!

What kind of a woman do you like, Oppa?

I don't like women who call me Oppa.

Woo Hyun!

Stop it.

Don't you understand how he feels?

He's pretty hurt.

Wait.

This late at night...

...why were you two up on the roof together?

Who said that we went up there together?

We went there separately…

…and met each other coincidently.

He’s right.

Why would I go up to the rooftop with him?

There’s no reason to do that.

Never.

You should lower your expectations with men, So Mun Jung.

Not all men in this world are handsome like I am.

Sometimes there are men like him...

...with that kind of appearance and character.

Ah, Mr. Go.

Don’t give up on her.

You should at least be confident in front of her.

It’s time to go.

I'm sorry I can't stay with you longer.

I’ll call you later.

Good night.

Why were you on the rooftop?

That was a foul. It doesn’t count.

Wow!

Wow!

Be patient.

I’ll make this place pretty soon.

Who are you?

What are you doing at someone else’s grave?

It’s my mother’s.

This is the grave of an old man who died sick and alone...

…so there’s no one to visit him.

I think you’re confused.

I think you’re confused, mister.

This place is…

I buried him with my neighbors in town…

…so I can’t be wrong.

[Incoming call: Ju Han]

I don’t understand what you’re saying.

You're asking us to agree to help dismiss the chairman?

This is absurd.

Are you asking us to betray her?

Do you know the meaning of betrayal?

It means breaking someone's trust or loyalty.

Isn't that what you do all the time?

It shouldn't be difficult for you.

If you just do what you're good at one more time...

…I'll guarantee your welfare in the future.

What is that for?

I did something stupid…

…at a stranger’s grave.

What are you talking about?

I’ll tell you later.

Do you remember this place?

This place...

You remember, huh?

It was the first house we could see...

...when we got out of the dirty back alleys of New York.

At the time…

…we called it a castle…

...because we could only imagine a king living in a house like that.

That house was the first thing I bought...

…when I earned the money.

I wanted to bury you in the backyard there...

...if I could ever find your body.

You looked for me.

When I recognized you…

…I just wanted to brag about this house so badly.

I’m proud of you, my brother.

If I...

...meet you again...

...I'll invite you there.

I don’t know why but…

...I always felt like you'd come back to me alive if I lived in that house.

And when I was a kid…

…on the days the boss beat me the worst...

…I always…

What’s wrong?

The boss...

...beat you?

You shot him in the leg…

…so he couldn’t walk properly for a while.

He told me to be his leg.

He's not...

...dead?

Did you think that…

…he was dead?

He wasn’t dead?

That bastard…

…wasn’t dead?

The boss you killed is in that coffin.

Even if you go back there…

…you’ll still be a murder, Jaden.

Do you still want to go back?

Look at this carefully…

…and remember what you did with it.

Don’t ever forget this, Jaden.

Jaden.

Jaden.

Jaden.

Jaden!

Honey.

Don’t do this to me.

Let me hear Da Bae’s voice just once.

Honey, honey!

Honey… Yoo Ji Won?

Darn it!

Oh!

Jae Wan.

I need you to do me a favor.

Can you meet with Da Bae and tell her good things about me?

She was close with you, right?

I will.

That’s my son.

Father.

Father.

I’m a little embarrassed.

I realized that I've never addressed you properly.

I’m sorry, father.

You don’t need to.

I regretted a lot after seeing how you took care of my mother's grave.

I’ll plant flowers and trees there…

…and take care good care of it now.

Sure.

Your mother will be happy.

I don't remember exactly where it was...

...because I was following you without thinking last time.

Could you take me there again, father?

Were you looking for me, mother?

Yes.

I have a headache...

...so I'd like to go out for a drive with my son.

Where did you go?

Ah, I've been away from my company for a while now...

…so I had to take care of some work.

Okay.

I’m sorry to keep you here with me even when you’re busy with your own work.

Why do you say that like a stranger?

Is the general manager bothering you again?

Like how he threatened you last time?

Not at all.

Don’t worry, mother.

It seems you surprised him last time...

...so he's been quiet.

That’s good to know.

You want me to agree with the dismissal of Chairman Baek?

If you promise me you will, Ms. Song Chae Kyung…

…it will be settled.

Isn’t this a favorable thing for Cha Jae Wan and Ah Mo Ne?

I say no.

I’m suggesting this for your sake.

You're someone who can't do anything...

…if *Hyung gets hurt.

[Hyung: Older brother or older male]

Hyung?

When I was very young…

…we were the only family the other had.

He's told me about that.

Then you are…

Yes.

Isn’t life funny?

So...

...because of your brother…

No, for your brother…

…you’ll betray your mother?

No.

This is for me.

I don't know why, but I can't lie to you.

I may sound selfish, but…

…I’m not in a situation to take care of someone else…

…because my wound are what hurt the most.

I know it’s difficult to explain.

It’s okay. I won’t ask any more...

...but I'm afraid I can't do this favor.

Alright.

It’s your decision to make.

When this is over tomorrow…

…I’ll leave here with my mother.

Thank you for what you’ve done for me during my visit.

It’s getting darker.

Are you sure we're going in the right direction?

Yes, of course.

You’re smart with everything else.

Why are you so bad with directions?

Ah, it’s over there.

Huh?

Where? Where?

Oh!

That’s right.

It’s over there.

Let’s go.

I can remember this place now.

We should put up a tombstone here...

...so you can come visit without me.

What name should I put on the tombstone?

Which gender?

What about age?

Jae Wan.

There’s some misunderstanding, but…

I need to know when this person...

...was born and died…

…to put up a tombstone.

It’s too bad that I don’t know.

Jae Wan.

Do you know what this is, Mr. Lee Jung Ku?

A leash.

With this gun…

...you've controlled my life.

You did!

Jae Wan.

This is Korea.

If you carry a toy like that around here...

...you could get arrested.

I don’t care.

A father...

...who unjustly accuses his son of murder and threatens him his whole life with it...

…and a father...

...who laughs at his son crying in front of a stranger’s grave.

That kind of father deserves to disappear.

Why are you saying that?

You saw it too.

Your boss's funeral...

Shut up!

I’m sorry.

I’m sorry, Jae Wan.

It's been so long...

…so I was confused.

You should sound more genuine…

…to calm me down.

I’m sorry.

I’m sorry, Jae Wan.

I mean it.

I’m really sorry to you.

You’re right.

I’m… I’m the bad one.

Because of you, I…

Every morning when I wake up...

…you’ve trampled me and killed me!

I’m sorry.

I’m sorry.

I’m so sorry.

Please…

Please forgive his poor old man.

It’s too bad...

...I’m not willing to forgive you.

No!

No, Jae Wan!

No!

No!

No!

No!

No! No!

My leg!

Jae Wan.

Jae Wan.

Jae Wan…

…please.

Please!

Jae Wan!

From now on…

...there is no more Lee Jung Ku.

I just killed him.

You have to help me get up!

You know that I can barely move without my cane!

You!

What if I get hurt here?

That’s what I want.

Jae Wan!

Jae Wan!

I’m dying!

Son!

Come back to me!

You came back to me last time.

Jae Wan!

Come back to me!

Son!

Jae Wan!

Can you come to my house…

…for a moment?

Cha Jae Wan!

What’s going on?

You startled me.

It’s done now.

It’s all over.

Nothing is left with me.

Why are you smiling?

You don’t know anything.

It's because you're smiling.

You look really happy, so I’m happy too.

It doesn’t sound dramatic.

Repeat after me.

Hello, my name is Dori.

You look ugly when I see you like this.

Hello, my name is Dori.

Ah Mo Ne looks ugly from any angle.

Come here.

Why?

Was that a mistake or not?

It wasn't?

It wasn't?

Am I pretty or not?

Answer me quickly.

Are you playing dead? Are you playing dead?

- Come here. - I surrender, I surrender.

How pretty I am?

You’re the prettiest in the world.

Right?

You’re still ugly.

That's right.

You’re the son of that horrible woman.

What a horrible mother and son.

Darn it.

We’re set now.

While you're getting her dismissed...

…I’ll distract her attention.

Finish it as soon as possible, Hyung.

*Sunbae.

[Sunbae: Upperclassman]

This is for you.

I’m not asking you to hire me again.

Just take this as a last apology.

Chairman Baek Mi Nyeo plans to make Ciel go bankrupt.

She’s working with John Howard again.

They set up a fake investment company...

...and are already prepared to issue promissory notes.

If you don't get her dismissed as chairman...

...that will be the end for Ciel.

Huh?

When did you come?

What if someone sees us?

Someone's already seen you.

This kind of behavior can't be a good example for other employees, and...

Yes.

Surely it's not a good example as general manager...

...but this is before work hours...

…so I came here to see my girlfriend.

You’re fine with that, right?

Even though shifts haven't started yet...

...once you've been the general manager here...

...you always will be.

As such, I'm ordering you as the general manager and your superior...

...that personal matters...

...aren't an acceptable reason to order around or overwork your staff...

...and treat just one unfairly.

I’m innocent.

I’ll keep my eye on you.

Thank you.

Even if the whole world criticizes her…

…the only person who will stay on her side…

…is family.

I love her very much.

Look what this woman does.

What did I do wrong?

What were you thinking about so hard that you didn't notice me coming?

Not much.

I was just wondering why these things happen to us.

Lee Jung Ku and Baek Mi Nyeo…

I don't think they're fighting for just the hotel.

They must have something in their pasts.

All of this has happened because of them.

They just hate each other.

It's nothing complicated.

You have a general meeting today.

How can you be this free?

Mo Ne.

Yes.

You believe my promise that…

...I'll protect Ciel no matter what, right?

Yes, I do.

We’re almost there.

You’ve done a good job, my Hyun Woo.

Ju Han.

Yes. I’m on my way to the hotel.

I owe you an apology.

Why?

Is this because of the general meeting?

I have some time now… Would you like to meet for a moment?

Ju Han.

Not once...

...in my life have I forgotten you.

Maybe that’s why we couldn’t recognize each other sooner.

We missed each other so much...

...all we could remember was what we looked like as kids.

I’m sorry, Ju Han.

I’m really sorry.

[Confirmation of note issuance] [Amount: $500,000]

Does the general meeting start at 2PM?

It's noon now.

Make the deposit beforehand.

What are you doing in my office?

We are from the Seoul District Prosecutor's Office.

We have a search warrant. Please cooperate.

- Begin now. - Okay.

I knew you did it.

Was my warning funny to you?

No.

I couldn't even sleep I was so worried you'd try and run someone else over.

I went to the law for help.

I told you that…

…either Lee Jung Ku or I...

...will have to die to finish this.

I should take care of you instead of him since you’re his son.

I can’t understand...

...how a woman like you…

...could adopt a child and love him.

How dare you to talk about my son with your dirty mouth!

Don’t waste your energy now, Ms. Chairman.

The investigation won’t be easy.

After today…

…you will lose everything.

Everything precious to you.

Ms. Baek Mi Nyeo.

Your under arrest on charges of violating...

…Article 3, Section 1 of the Additional Punishment Law on Specific Economic Crimes…

…and Article 443, Section 1 of the Capital Market and Financial Investment Services Act.

Let’s go.

Did you know about this, miss?

The general meeting is over already?

Baek Mi Nyeo was dismissed as chairman?

What are you talking about?

People from the prosecutor's office came by...

...and too the chairman in for investigation.

The hotel is in uproar.

- You should go there now. - No.

It might be better for you.

Cha Jae Wan wasn't supposed to do this.

Don’t be surprised and agitated.

It's just for an investigation.

I told you not to appear in the lobby in uniform…

…but you don’t listen to me.

Ms. Hwang.

Yes, Ms. Chairman.

Train your staff properly.

Yes, I will.

The car is in the back.

No, I'll go out through the front entrance.

Bring your car around.

Chairman Ah.

I've redeemed you a little now, right?

[1982, a gift from heaven, Hyun Woo’s first birthday]

Why did you do it?

You shouldn’t have done it.

You told me that you wouldn’t do it.

What will you do now?

Mo Ne.

I have to go somewhere in a hurry.

I have to go quickly…

…and ask her before she leaves.

Later…

Let’s talk later.

She’s your mother!

Baek Mi Nyeo…

...is your mother.

She gave birth to you...

…and named you Hyun Woo.

No way...

No way.

Mother!

Mother.

Don’t be surprised.

I’ll be back soon.

No, mother.

You can’t go there.

Loman.

My son has to trust me.

Don’t make a fuss.
