All language subtitles for Lights and Shadows E13

Well?

We may have a problem.

A problem?

Mansu has gone into hiding.

What? What are you saying?
Why would he do that?

I scared him a little
because he was making demands.

Idiot. Scare him?
There's a way to do these things!

I'm sorry.

We can't let him talk
to Kang Kitae.

Find him!

Sir.

You know what's worse?

The guy that foreclosed
on your house?

It was all...
Mild-mannered Jo Myongguk.

He and Jang Cholhwan took your
assets and destroyed your family.

Dongchol, go to him.

And say what?

As bad as I feel,
he must feel that much worse.

If Jo Myongguk betrayed the Kangs
for Jang Cholhwan...

was he involved
in old Mr. Kang's death?

He wouldn't, would he?

As scary as this world is,
as scary as people are,

would he have done that?

I don't like to think about it.

Let's go.

Where?

To Seoul.

What will you do?

About what?

You've got to report Jo Myongguk
and Jang Cholhwan to the law.

The law?

They've already shown me
they're above the law.

Jang Cholhwan's
even more powerful now.

What can the law do?

Kitae.

What are you thinking?
Not...

What would you do
in my place?

Well...

If that's it,
just follow quietly.

Kitae.

Move.

I know how you feel, but if you confront
Myongguk now, you'll get hurt.

There's been enough injustice.
If you get hurt, it will make it worse.

Dongchol's right.
Calm down, Kitae.

You know how I feel?

Do you?

I won't start an obvious fight.
Move.

Mr. Kang, hello.

Is Myongguk in?

Yes. One moment.

- No. I'll go in.
- Yes, sir.

We're distributing foreign films,
thanks to Mr. Jang in the Blue House.

Yes.

We'll meet later and talk it over.
Yes. Goodbye.

Is Miss Kim gone?

She's there.

It's customary for the secretary
to announce you.

Ah, sorry.

Sit.

Well?
You didn't call ahead.

I need a favor.

I think I can guess what it is.

Starting this studio hasn't been easy.
I don't have no capital now.

And even if I could,
I wouldn't help you.

You know why?

For you and for your
late father.

Think about how you
lived in Sunyang...

and what you've done with yourself
for the last year.

With how you've lived your life...

even if I helped you now...

it would be pouring water
down the drain.

So you're trying to help me?

I felt bad for you.

I felt bad that you didn't get a thing
when my father passed...

after all your years of service.

Thinking back, you managed
our assets.

Meaning that when it was lost...

you were to blame.

After all you did, your guilty conscience
makes you suspect others.

You suspect something about
me and Mr. Jang?

That suspicion is proof that
you don't know how things are.

If you're desperate, you need to tie yourself to someone who can help you.

Not just Jang Cholhwan, but why
can't you find someone, anyone?

I did.

I wanted to make something of myself
and bowed to Jang Cholhwan to get it.

And you suspect ME?

I said goodbye to one boss...

and swore allegiance to him.

You've got to make something
of yourself.

How can I face your father
with you living like this?

I really hope you start
to live in the real world.

Buy some meat
on your way home.

I'll live in the real world.

Thank you, brother.

I have to leave so go.

Pathetic.

Kitae.

Relax. Nothing happened.

Good. I'm glad.

You need something
in order to do something.

And I have nothing.

Even an ignorant peddler
has something.

If he doesn't, he has
a knife to work with.

Or at least something stronger
than himself.

I told you.
I won't start an obvious fight.

You two go home.

Maybe we should
get a drink.

I bet you could use one.

No. I want to be alone.
Night.

The opposition will take
a stand against the reforms.

That's why we have emergency powers.
To arrest the pinkos.

Yes.
Yes, one moment.

Mr. Cha,
Kang Kitae for you.

You're still talking with him?

Ah.

- It's okay. Take it.
- Sir.

It's me. Sorry, I'm stepping
out with Mr. Jang.

No, I'm going alone.
See your friend.

Goodbye.

Where are you?

Mom told me about the trouble
with your house.

How embarrassing to you.

Hey, now, where did that come from?

I'll help if I can,
but I'm just a civil servant.

This isn't much, but it might help.

Keep it.

Kitae.

It's not out of pride.

It won't change anything
and I hate feeling beholden.

If you won't take money,
at least let me find you a job.

No. I won't use
your connections like that.

If I really need it...
I'll come to you.

Enjoying yourself?

How do you mean?

Do you like working
under Jang Cholhwan?

I really want to know.

Do you trust him?
Will he help you get what you want?

I chose him for my own ends and I keep telling myself it was the right choice.

So I have to trust him.

Creating trust.

Commanding respect.

That's power.

Suhyok.

We're friends, right?

Where did this come from?

I can lose everything.
But not you.

Hello.

It's Suhyok.

Oh. It's pretty late.

Did something
happen with Kitae?

He was here.

He wanted help with his house
so I sent him packing.

Why do you ask?

No reason.

How have you handled
keeping Mansu quiet?

There's a slight problem but nothing
I can't handle, don't worry.

You're acting strange.

Has something happened?

No. Goodnight.

Listen closely.

We have ways to get what we want
without leaving a trace.

Your insides will
scream in agony.

We perfected it
interrogating Communists.

We're starting. Signal with your toes
when you're ready to confess.

Listen. How can I
when there's nothing to confess?

I won't confess to
what I haven't done.

We'll see what you do
or don't confess.

Begin.

Kitae!

Kitae,
they're killing me!

Kitae,
where are you?

Save me,
Kitae!

First, before they foreclose,
we can sell the house...

and use some of that
to pay on the debt.

We've got to sell
and move right away.

Forgive me. I'll find a way
to get your house back, Myonghi.

Just be sure I have my own room
in the new place.

I couldn't find
any other way to fix this.

I'm sorry.

How could you raise
that kind of money?

It was doomed from the start.

We both know how scary life can be,
so we have to make the best of it.

I'm going to hold on tight

...just like the time I had you
on my back when we escaped.

What about me?

I'll only eat a little
and I'll do as I'm told.

Please don't send me away,
ma'am.

You'll have a place to stay until
you get wed, don't you worry.

Yes, of course. Right away.

Clear Songwon
and Chaeyong's schedules

and get all our A-list talent
for tonight.

Yes, sir.

But Songwon may be filming,
I'm not sure if he's free.

Get him,
even if he's on location.

Sir.

Wait.

That new girl.

Lee Jonghye?

Uh-huh.

- Her, too.
- Sir.

Seaman Pak!

It's... Macao Choi!

You were in the slammer.
How did you get out?

No cold, dark prison can
hold the sword of vengeance.

What?

Taking away the woman
I loved I can forgive.

But betrayal between men...
that I do NOT forgive.

Seaman Pak,
your time has come.

Throwing you in jail was
a sign of friendship.

Macao Choi,
you just don't get it.

But if you insist on dying...

- Boys!
- Sir!

Heaven is on my side!

Owie!

- You all right?
- Owie-ouch-ow!

Hey, you okay?

Sheesh, pull your punches,
what is it with you?

Listen to you...

Action has to feel instinctive, see?
How can we pull our punches?

You're not true
to your art.

Sheesh!

Sorry, sorry,
but look...

Action, see... it's not just
swinging a haymaker.

It's this.. and this...
and this!

Fast and tight,
that's what looks good.

What do you know?

Hey,
one more time!

Wait, I'm the director,
ME.

That's a wrap
for today.

Pretty boy,
got his panties in a wad.

Hey, dinner is on me.
Wrap this up and let's head out.

You okay,
sir?

This way.

You're a true artist,
tell you what!

Yeah, well, that old fart
ruined the mood.

This isn't some dog fight,
what's with his old school moves?

It's early days. I'll replace him
with Jang Donghui.

Watch that kind of talk. Pak Noshik
is Korea's favorite action star.

Not only that,
he's good to the crew,

takes ‘em out,
gives ‘em spending money.

The director that messes
with him does so at his own risk.

Who says he's Korea's
favorite action star?

It's common knowledge.

This movie will change common knowledge, just you wait.

What do you want?

Mr. No says to clear
your schedule tonight.

Can't you see
I'm working here?

Why you bothering
me at work?

Where is it?

We'll leave from
the Seven Stars offices.

All right.

- Nice to see you.
- Thank you.

Everyone's here.

Mm. Let's go.

I know you're busy.
I hope I haven't interrupted anything?

Not at all, sir.
It's an honor to be here.

The actors and singers
of Seven Stars.

A pleasure.

Choi Songwon and Yu Chaeyong.
The stars of Seven Stars.

Shall we?

Oh, Baby,
don't change

I'm on fire,
you know it's true

I'm a fool,
a fool for you

Offer me the world,
I don't care

Without you, baby,
I'm nowhere

Years may come,
years may go

I'll wait for you, wait for you,
baby you should know

Fingers, fingers
in the sand

Drawing pictures

Drawing you

Your nose, your lips,
your eyes and ears

The dimple in your chin,
your smile

Ah-ah-ah...
And now...

Send Lee Jonghye in.

With everyone here?
Will it be all right?

I don't care.
Get her.

Mr. No... so this guy's the power
behind the power.

Obviously.

Get him to help ME.

You're doing fine
without my help.

I hear your working with
Yang Taesong these days.

Watch him,
he's a rat, got it?

Mr. No, a word.

I thought she had some big shot behind
her for Mr. No to snap her up like that.

It figures.

You think he's her backer?

Hey, mind your own.

That goes for the rest of you.
Keep this quiet, clear?

Okay.

Why did you bring
Lee Jonghye here?

Why, sir?

As you know, I brought
all our A-list talent tonight.

She's not there yet,
but I wanted you to see

see that I'm giving her
the A-list treatment.

Was that wrong?

Be very careful
with Miss Lee.

What's this?

Trouble between Cha Suhyok
and Jang Cholhwan?

What did I land
myself into?

Don't be nervous.

You're uncomfortable coming here
with your colleagues.

Yes, sir.

You're quite impressive.

If you had accepted my offer,

you would have been another bit
of fluff at Gungjeong.

But when you turned me down,
everything changed.

I find myself interested in you.

If Gungjeong doesn't interest you,
will I do?

Not as a bit of fluff,
but your whole heart.

I've given my heart
to someone else.

My ambition got in the way
and I missed my chance...

but I won't sully those feelings.

Which is why
you refused me.

Is he in show business,
too?

Tell me.
Who is he?

When I want something,
I don't stop until I get it.

And I want you.

Pardon me.

You know what's
even funnier?

You came here by choice,
but you can't leave as easily.

You've caught Mr. Jang's eye.

You'll soon learn just how persistent
and frightening he can be.

What did he want?

Don't worry.
It was nothing.

You can drop me off
on the main drive.

No, it's all right.
We'll take you home.

I wish you wouldn't.

So, Mr. Jang...
you know him?

Well, I've only met him
once before.

At first you think, if only I can sing
on stage, I'll be happy.

Until you're famous, then you
discover fame is its own trap.

Every time we have to sell our smiles
to the rich and powerful...

we feel more and more
like beggars.

But what can we do?
We both wanted this life.

And we got it.

The Jonghye girl.

Something about her
intrigues me.

I want to know more.

Have our people
draw up a profile.

Yes, sir.

Oh, and she said she's given
her heart to someone.

Find out who.

Kitae.

Been waiting long?

No, we just got here.

Have you decided
what to do yet?

If we want something,
we have to start work first.

We're going ahead
with the Bitnara Show.

Then we have to settle up
with Shin Jonggu.

Can we do it?

I'll handle that.

We need to find
our place first.

We'll start with what Myongguk
and Jang Cholhwan have forgotten.

My first goal is...

the Sunyang Theater.

What happened?
I've been just waiting!

Leave me here waiting,
no call, nothing. Well?

Family emergency,
you know how it is.

Sorry.

Yeah, well,
what about me?

You have the money?

Yes.

Where, where?

What's this?
This some kind of joke?

This is less than half.
Well?

You messin' with me,
is that it?

Not at all.
We couldn't raise the rest--

That's your problem.
A deal's a deal, isn't it?

If you're not ready,
the deal's off.

I'm not ready,
but let's talk about it.

We both owe each other
at this point.

I'm going to pay you off first.
Just be patient.

I'm losing my shirt here.
Isn't this too much?

Give us a break.

Please, Mr. Shin.

I swear.

Just trust me, okay?

I might as well.
And I guess I owe you.

All right.

Go ahead.

Sundok.

Nanny.

The Lady... how is she?

Enough of that
"Lady" stuff.

Lady of the Shack,
is that it?

You're back to your
old fussy self.

You should have told me
you're moving so I could help.

There wasn't much
to help with.

How is the restaurant
coming along?

I took care of it while
you weren't yourself.

Then we'd better get started.

It's hard work.
You should rest some more.

Now's not the time for that.

I've got to earn all I can
for Kitae and Myonghi.

All right.
We'll open up.

20.

20, and 20 more.

Fold.

Too rich for my blood.

Fold.

Cheapskate...
over 20 cents?

- I had a pair.
- Oh, man.

Aren't you ordering?

Sure.
Yellow radish and onions.

Order stir-fry or something,
bunch of cheapskates.

Did he just--?

That's what you get for
not ordering for me.

What brings you here?

Just curious.
Have you heard from Kang Kitae?

No, we tried to called,
but he's moved, so...

He probably lost his nerve.

You said you wouldn't work with him,
so why do you ask?

Just curious.

What's going on?

You get us all excited
then drop out of sight?

Sorry. Something came up.

You tell us to trust you
then leave us to starve?

First, let me apologize.

The reason you couldn't reach me--

Wait.

Let me say something.

I thought about it
and decided to trust you.

The "I'll care for the troupe
like my own family" got to me.

And now? You think a lot
of fancy talk makes a manager?

I won't make excuses.

Just give me ten days.

If I don't get us
a gig in that time...

I'll step down
without a fuss.

Kitae,

Isn't your arbitrary
deadline a bit tight?

If I can't do it in 10 days,
more time won't help.

Be ready to fight.

You got it.

Let's go.

Whoa, big day crowd.

Isn't it illegal to open
during the day?

If they obeyed every law
they couldn't stay open.

Welcome.
This way, please.

No, I'd like to
see the manager.

- Hey, look over there.
- Where?

The balding guy.

- Haven't we seen him before?
- We sure have.

Pssh, birdbrains. He was at
Jo Myongguk's open house.

- Ah-ha.
- Right, right, right.

But what's he do,
spending his day dancing?

Good question.

You asked for me?

Shin Jonggu
suggested I see you.

Mr. Shin?
What about?

First allow me
to introduce myself.

I'm taking over the Bitnara Show
for Mr. Shin. Kang Kitae.

You're awfully young
to manage a show.

So what do you
want with me?

Give our singers a chance
to entertain on your stage.

Perform on our stage?

Give us a shot and
we promise you a great show.

I'd give you a shot
if I had a shot to give.

Care to dance?

I'm not here to dance.

Come on.

C'mon.

Forget show business.
You would be a perfect dancer.

You mean as a gigolo?
That's just... heh...

I'm not kidding.

Do a little dance and the hee-hee
mommies will be all over you.

What time shall I schedule you for?
What do you say?

Sir, a raid.

What?

Wait...

Cops, cops.
Everyone out.

Round ‘em up.

What the..?
Move it!

- Let me go, just this once!
- Get down!

Just this once!

I'm sorry,
give me a break.

What have we here?

Degenerate gigolos.

Gigolo?

I'm no gigolo.

Uh-huh.

A fat one, too.

Come on,
we're not gigolos.

Then what were you doing
at a day cabaret?

Business, how many times
do I have to say it?

Pierre.
What are you doing here?

I swear.

Excuse me.

Thanks for your help.

Not at all.

Call me sometime.

Why did you get them out?

He's cute.

Pierre, you should be ashamed
of yourself.

Ugh, I feel so dirty.

Making dancing a crime.
I should go into exile overseas.

Ugh, not exactly
what I call beginner's luck.

It's embarrassing.

Unlucky, embarrassing,
either way, we need a gig fast.

Right.

Chop-chop.
I'm not paying by the hour.

Hey, you.

You report early
and rehearse all day?

Uh-huh.

You're freezing.

Gyesun, barley tea.

- Poor thing.
- It looks warm.

Thanks.

Look at you, they're
working you to the bone.

Well, how is it?

Are they ignoring you
cause they're the big deal show?

No, they're great.

Singing, dancing, their coaches are
teaching me everything, it's so different.

Different.
Yeah, I bet.

Um... Kang Kitae?

He's busy
drumming up business.

From what I can tell, he's got us tons
of gigs and we'll be stinking rich.

The Sunyang lady is so proud of her boy.
I guess it wasn't all talk.

Bet you're sorry about signing
with Seven Stars.

You kidding?
Why should she be sorry?

She loved being the opening act
for Bitnara.

She's not nearly
as happy now.

Bet you wish you were with
Bitnara and Kang Kitae... huh?

Nuh-uh!

I should go.

You little..!
Yak-yak-yak.

Why'dja hit me?
I wasn't wrong.

Ouch.

- Chaeyong.
- Hey.

Busy rehearsing
new numbers?

I got a
Bang Chunsu song.

Really?
It's sure to be a hit.

And you?
The show going all right?

Pssh. You know you're just asking
because of Kang Kitae.

No...

Yeah, yeah, you'd take him
any way you could get him.

What's he doing?

He's trying to find a gig
for the Bitnara players.

He said he'd toss it in
if he didn't get one in ten days.

How can he?
He has no experience.

How should I know?

But he made up that deadline,
so if he fails, he fails.

You ever hear
of Bang Chunu?

Sure.
Best fighter in Sunyang.

I hear he's in Seoul, doing good
in Myongdong and Mugyo.

He should have pull
with the night life.

We should
ask him for help.

Hello.

Huh?

Hello.

What brings you here?

I was passing and thought
I'd see if the troupe was here.

Kitae, we'll get right
on that, um, thing.

Let's go.
Jonghye, take our seat.

- Go where?
- I'll show you. C'mon.

Sit, sit.

Where?

Please.

Thanks.

Where we going?

Blind and dumb,
I swear.

You give your seat
to our sister-in-law.

Sister-in-law?

You mean Kitae
and Jonghye..?

Deaf and dumb, too.

Huh.

Oh.

Oh,
Yu Chaeyong.

Hello.

What brings you..?

The owner called and told me
Kang Kitae is here.

Is he inside?

Yeah. He is.

I'll see you later then.

See you.

Hey, don't things seem
a bit weird?

Work going all right?

Of course.

You'll be sorry you signed
with Seven Stars.

I already am.

Why?
Has something happened?

No, just...

We hope we can count on you
after Seven Stars makes you a star.

Of course.

Um, Kitae.

Yes.

Um...

- Welcome.
- Welc--

The truth is, I...

Kitae.

What brings you..?

I should go.
You two talk.

No.

This won't take long.

Here.

The number of a nightclub
owner friend of mine.

It might help.

Oh...

Well, thank you.

I'll be going.

I should go, too.

You didn't have to leave
because of me.

No, we were through.

I'm going to rehearsal.

I rehearsed this morning.

All right, then.

The foreign film license?

We have it.
Thanks to you, sir.

I cleared the way,
but you have to turn a profit.

Just so, sir.

You looked into Song Mijin?

Yes, she holds the highest quota
of foreign imports

and a powerful distribution network.

She owns large theaters
in Seoul, Suwon, Daejon,

not to mention her nightclubs.

I understand she runs a tidy
little loan business, as well.

How is it I never heard
of her before?

We haven't confirmed this, but rumor
has it she has a powerful backer.

Who is it?

KCIA Director Kim.

What?

Land a lot of gigs?

Don't ask.

We've only got 3 days left.

All we have are gigs in cruddy clubs
and cabarets.

That won't make enough
to feed the players.

Which why I'm
asking your advice.

Like I have an answer?

If I did,
I would have done it.

I don't know how,
but I know what you need.

You need to go big with clubs
like Victoria or Pungjun.

Only big stars play there.

Not the main time,
the golden time.

Just to get your foot
in the door is all.

You know someone?

Yes, I do, that's
not the tricky part.

The woman that runs the place
is seriously temperamental.

The woman?

Uh-huh.
Song Mijin.

And her power as a
film producer is no joke.

100 men got
nothing on this lady.

Pathetic! Is this
how you run a business?

Do you think I'm doing this
because I have no money?

This isn't some theater
or "art space".

Thanks to you I'll be lucky
to sell a glass of water.

If this happens again,
you're all canned.

Got that?

Ma'am.

Who are you?

We're here to see
the business manager.

Sorry, Mr. No.

Am I late?

Not at all. I just got here myself.

I'll make this short.

This new contract of yours
is far too unreasonable.

You would say that.

But I don't think
it's unreasonable at all.

Intolerable is a
better word, I think.

In that case, Seven Stars
singers can't perform here.

Are you serious?

Sorry.

But if you can't meet my terms,
there's no contract.

And no Seven Stars
artists.

Then that's that.

If that's how you
want it... no contract.

Right then.

Arrogant...

Now look here, how dare you try to get
no-names onto the Victoria stage?

We'll open or close.

Just give us a chance and
we'll show you what we've got.

Give us a shot.

I'm done talking.
Leave.

Not so much
as an opening.

Let's go.

Hey, dirtbags.

Begging for scraps?

I'm in no mood.

Watch your mouth.
