[Episode 22]

You'll give up with all these people here?

You'll let them all leave?

Kitae.

There's nothing I can do for them.
Send them away.

If you give up now the only ones you'll
help are the people who want you to fail.

You know success is the best revenge.

I just saw Shin and the troupe
at Seven Stars.

I begged them to come back and
you see what it got me.

I pleaded and it didn't
even phase them.

I don't think I can do it.

I believe in you. Why don't you?

Jonghye.

Have you forgotten you told me
to trust you?

I trust you and stopped being scared
of Jang Cholhwan.

If you give up who can I trust?

The people outside believe in you,
in the Bitnara Show.

If you don't trust yourself,
what about them?

- You holding auditions?
- You said be here by noon.

Try to be patient.

- Come on already.
- We'll start soon.

Well? What did he say?

Hold on.

Where's Kang Kitae?

In the dressing room. Nothing is
prepared for the auditions.

Send them on their way.

And find another show.

Ma'am.

First, thank you all for
coming out today.

I'm Kang Kitae, manager
of the Bitnara Show.

Allow me to apologize for a change
in our auditions.

The long and short of it is...

certain internal matters have--

Made us a little late!

Subong, over here.

Johnny, separate them into four groups.

Right.

We're running late, so move it!

Right!

Your attention please.

Leave personal items here...

See that they have everything they need.

Ma'am.

I'm sorry, Kitae.

P... Please forgive me.

Sir.

Where are they?

Well, er...

Something happen?

They went to the Victoria.

What for?

They said the Bitnara Show is
holding auditions today.

What? Where's Shin Jonggu?

Well, er...

They went with him.

Performers, I swear!

We bolted like rats from a sinking ship.

Sorry.

You gave me my shot as a singer.

Sorry for being such an ingrate.

I'm happy to see you all again.

But after doubting myself and nearly
giving up, I'm that much happier.

I'd just as soon look at this as a bitter pill
we had to swallow to move on.

So welcome back and thank you.

How long we going to
stand here pouting?

We'd better get started if we want to
get out of here today.

You know the drill. We've got all sorts
today, the good and the bad.

We need to weed them out.

If they can dance but can't sing,
send them to Sunae.

If they have a flair for jokes,
send them to Johnny.

- Right?
- Right.

- Let's move.
- Okay.

Why don't you say something?

Cuss me out, hit me,
at least I'll feel better.

That's why I don't do it.
To make you suffer.

Hey, I'm suffering.

You know what he tempted me with?

Managing Seven Stars.

The biggest show in Korea.

Chances like that don't come along
every day.

That's what I gave up, so there.

What, you fishing for compliments now?

I'm just... No, I'm just saying
it wasn't an easy decision.

If it was so hard, go back,
I won't stop you.

Come on now.

If I betray you again I'm a
REAL sonnuva--!

Happy?

Sheesh.

I heard Jo Taesu's boys
roughed you up.

You all right?

I'm fine, forget it.

What about No Sangtaek?
No contract problems?

None.

I paid back his advance, nice and neat,
no problem.

Kitae, No Sangtaek is here.

Wait.

I'll talk to him.

I started this, I'll finish it.

I swear.

Get up.

Get up, you!

What are you playing at?

Think you can make a fool of me?

You, Kang Kitae... someone's got to
hit me.

Knock yourself out.
Go ahead.

You got it.

Get up.

I said get up!

You loser, I gave you a once-in-a-lifetime
chance and you threw it away?

Have you lost your mind?

I must have.

To go to you in the first place.

But now I've got it back again.

You little..!

Enough.

Let go.

Don't push me.

If you do, you won't walk
out of here.

You threatening me?

Threats are meant to frighten.

Why should I scare you?

Jo Taesu's boys
cut me pretty bad.

You, Jo Taesu, either way...

this is my chance for some payback.

You don't want to mess with me.

Get out.

Are you deaf?

Fair warning.
Next time they won't miss.

Whoa, Kitae.

You are sooo...

Whoa.

Yak-yak-yak, I swear.

Just go take care of that lip.

So cool.

Did you take care of Yu Chaeyong?

It's dealt with.

What did she want?

Go on.

Jo Taesu was after Kang Kitae.

She wanted it to stop.

What?

Huh.

What do you know.

Chaeyong and Kitae.
Anything there?

I have no idea.

Find out.

Yu Chaeyong is important to me.

I need to know what she's thinking.

You understand?

Sir.

What would have happened if
Kang Kitae worked for me?

That's all.

Hello.

Everything worked out.

I asked you here to thank you.

There's nothing to thank me for.
It was Mr. Jang.

I still wanted to thank you.

You're Kitae's friend, aren't you?

And you like Jonghye?

Madame Yun told me.

You and Jonghye, me and Kitae...

Mismatched loves, you and I.

I can't help but see you as a friend.

Would that suit you?

Why do you love him so much?

I thought nothing but fame could
make me happy.

Until I met Kitae and found
true happiness.

A happiness I crave.

What about you and Jonghye?

Love at first sight.

That's it.

I'm not good at unrequited love.

I want him for myself,
whatever it takes.

If I can't have him,
my heart may turn ugly.

It scares me.

Sorry. Been here long?

No. You finish the auditions?

Yep, we made the first cuts today.

Tomorrow we see what they can
really do.

These are my first auditions.
I had no idea.

What about you?
Do you need a doctor?

I'm fine.

I know why you had to
ride with her.

I hate that you were hurt.
I'd rather it was me.

Worse, I hate that I can't help you.

I envy Chaeyong that she can.

That's... because you
don't understand men.

A man needs to take care
of his woman.

To do that, he'll work, he'll succeed.

If we hit luck and find some real talent
in the auditions...

we'll be the biggest act in Korea.

Then I'll put you in your own movie.

What makes me dream big?

Being with you.

Because of you, I can do anything.

That's what you don't understand.

Don't worry, Jonghye...

You're my woman.

You were out to get him.
What happened?

Jang Cholhwan happened.

What? Why?

He didn't say.

He wants him ended.

Just not now.

He's got me dancing to his tune.

I hear Jang's been shuffled
to the back room.

Do we still listen to him?

Who are you?

I don't know what Mr.Jang's thinking...

neither of us will be happy until
Kitae's finished.

Forget Jang. Let's get on with it.

Who are you?

Mr. Han would like a word.

You got a death wish?

If you don't, you'll come quietly.

Well?

We're not like you, but we'll do
what we must.

Nothing to it.

Han Jipyong's men took Jo Taesu.
Help him.

Is that why you sent for me?

Let the mobs settle their
own problems.

Mr. Cha.

Now isn't the time to worry about
Jo Taesu.

Worry about yourself.

Huh.

Jo Taesu wanted payback?
Are you all right?

Yes. I'm sorry for the
inconvenience.

It's no inconvenience.
You're my brother.

I'll make sure he doesn't
bother you again.

Bring him in.

Kneel... kneel!

Is this how you want it?

You kept asking for it.

Now I'm giving it to you.

I told you.

Fighting for territory I can stand.

But not attacking my brother.

Apologize to him.

Mr. Han, I'm Jo Taesu.

I'd rather die.

Then die.

Or apologize right now.

Not if it kills me.

Take him out and give him
what he wants.

Sir, that's...

Sit still.

This is how we deal with things.

Relax. Here, a drink.

Sir.

Ah, another thing. I've got a lot of
famous actor and singer friends.

If you want, I'll ask them to appear
in the Bitnara Show.

Drink.

Sir.

Shin and Sangtaek first met
doing the Shanghai Show.

They worked for the guy
that's living here.

What, he was a manager?

Yes. He said he had to whoop on
Shin every day.

Yeah, I figured him for a psycho.

The important thing is, that psycho
has a real eye for talent.

More than a few stars got their start
with the Shanghai Show.

And he wrote his own music.

- Uh-huh.
- Hm.

Yes.

Oh, yes.

Rice water.

Thank you.

Sundok has to work
at the restaurant today.

Come to the restaurant for lunch
and dinner.

All right.

- Enjoy.
- Thanks.

One more thing...

Why so surprised?

No reason.

What's that?

I thought I'd have some
different side dishes.

You should have said something.

Where did you get it?

Ah, well...

From Geumnye?

Yes, Mrs. Kim...

Oh, she's"Missus" now?

She's never been called
Missus in her life.

Geumnye is good enough for her.

She's a Missus to me.

Well, then you can stop calling
ME Missus, so there.

What should I call you?

Whatever you like.

Mom, that was great.

Your Ladyship, you're great at the
restaurant, but what about here?

Where were the chopsticks?

Stop with the"ladyship" routine.

Now, now, Your Ladyship,
it's it too early for that.

I said stop and I meant it.

What's that about?

Oh, Mr. Shin.

Dongchol told you about Mr. Yu?

Yes. You're going to use him?

We have to. You need an eye
for this kind of thing.

Where is he?

There.

Sir, it's Shin Jonggu.

Sit.

Thank you.

Today is the second round?

Yes.

I asked Pierre to help.

He was a Miss Korea judge.
He has an eye for beauty.

Thank you.

Not at all.

It's another way to attract clients.
I should thank you.

I spoke out of turn yesterday.

No, you deal in people.

I can understand how
their leaving upset you.

But I was disappointed
you gave up so quickly.

I'm sorry.

Anyway, all's well that ends well.

Good luck.

Thank you.

Kitae.

Hm?

Aren't you going to watch?

Why should I?

Why? For luck.

What good would that do?

I leave it to the experts.

I'll go with whoever they pick.

Managers that get
in the way are idiots.

Is Yu Chaeyong here?

Yes.

Let's get started.

#1, come in.

Cootchie-cootchie, here I am!

Hootchie-cootchie, here I am!

Here last year, and I'm still kickin'.

- So here I am again.
- Bzzz!

- Here I am again!
- Bzzz!

Well? Get rid of him.

I've got lots more.

How did that bum make it
past the first cut?

I don't know.
Johnny said he's funny.

Yeah, he would.

- Next.
- Sir.

Across the river

Across from Yeongdeungpo

Just a candle... in the haze...

Bzzz!

Our little cottage, boom-shaka-boom

Pretty as a picture, boom-shaka-boom-boom

Bzzz.

Today we have an Arirang parody.

My dad loves his rice wine,
and whatta pain.

Daddy Dearest, what's your
choice today?

Dad loves rice wine, beer and wine,
whiney wine...

Time is passing

Everyone's gone home

I'm waiting

The end.

He in?

Not yet, sir.

Do you know the phrase,
"Fish up a tree?"

"Seeking fish in a tree."
To attempt the impossible.

I've looked into you.

With your talent, working under an
ambitious man like Mr. Jang...

is fishing up a tree.

You'll never catch the fish you want
working for him.

Remember that.

I appreciate the advice, but I know he'll
share his fish, even if I'm up a tree.

Oh-ho.

As if he'll ever be number one?
I envy you your faith.

The pair of you.

Whew.

How many left?

Only two.

What do you think?
Anyone worth using?

A few can sing,
but that's not enough.

A star needs something special.

Like with Yu Chaeyong here, hm?

My thoughts exactly.

Nothing special today.

- Next.
- Sir.

Next please!

Hello. #64, Lee Hyebin.

Go ahead.

"I love you," so you said

"Without you, I'll surely die"

"I love you," so you said

I hesitated

And you were gone

My heart, my tears, my dreams,
all of these

To be where you are

A real diamond in the rough.

You agree?

Wonderful. Nice voice, nice delivery.

- Perfect.
- Nice.

Well?

Very nice.

Age?

Twenty... one.

Maybe ten years ago.

Don't you recognize me?

You've changed your name
and your looks.

What's this about?

She was a new singer back when
I was with the Three-Seven Show.

She was cut from the show.

Am I right, Jongja?

That's your name, Lee Jongja.

Step outside a minute.

This is my last chance.

Give me a shot. Please.

- Step outside.
- I'll work hard.

Give me a chance. Please!
Just one chance!

Forget it. She lies and
is nothing but trouble.

That can be dealt with.

Her job is to give a good show.

It's the manager's job to deal
with any trouble.

Am I right?

Um, sure.

She makes me want to
write music again.

Dancing like thi-i-is..!

Mr. Kang, here are our picks.

Say hello.
The Bitnara Show manager.

Hello.

Hi, hi. Thanks for coming out.

- Here.
- I'll do my best.

Hello.

- We'll turn the music industry
upside-down.

- Yes, sir.

Congratulations.

You saw it in post?
How was it?

Hard to say. Childish. Childlike.
I'm just not sure.

Sure, I suppose, but it's good enough.

We can distribute--

That's my problem.
You focus on post-production.

Yes, sir.

Sorry.

We were in post.

How does it look?

I like it. I can't speak for anyone else.

When does it premier?

Weekend after next.

Weekend after next.
That's pretty close.

What about promotion?

Maybe I can help,
my present to you.

Call Taesong and
have him meet me.

'kay.

An Ad-hoc Show?

Right. As you know, it helps promote
a movie, just before it starts.

The two of you go on stage,
show 'em a few moves...

It will definitely get people talking.

Sure, in the 60s, maybe, but today?
Too old school.

Publicity is meant to get 'em talking,
am I right?

This will do that.

Trust me and give it a shot, okay?

We'll prep the show.

You don't have to do a thing.

But you're not attached to our project.

Why are you doing this?

You both helped me when I needed it.

I owe you.
And there's another reason...

What's that?

Never mind.

Well, if it's out of loyalty.

Mr. Kang, loyalty once is
loyalty for life, huh?

- Let's drink on it.
- Let's.

Of course. A toast.

A toast.

C'mon, we'll be late.

It's Jonghye's movie,
why are you in such a hurry?

I'm her manager.
It's my movie, too.

Jonghye, chop-chop!

Uh-huh.

Whoa. Oolala.

Just like a star.

Oh, you. Don't say that when
we're out, jeez.

- Let's go.
- Mm-hm.

Let's go, let's go.

That Jonghye girl's movie
is opening today?

How did you know?

I saw Chaeyong yesterday.

She's worried for that girl or yours.

Mouthy little..!
Why is it always"that girl" with you?

I don't like her and I won't have her,
that's why.

Keep seeing her and I'll tell Mom.

You got her all wrong,
you misunderstood.

She doesn't have anything to do
with Gungjeong.

I know what I saw.

And you misunderstood.

She's a singer. She went to sing.

She got there, saw what's what,
and came right back.

You believe that?

Anyway, keep this up and
you'll really tick me off.

Ugh. Drive me nuts.

Ugh.

Something on your mind?

Well... no...

Please, you can say it.

Well, what's the idea cooking
side dishes...

for Mr. Yu?

Ah, ahem, well... at his age, all alone,
it seems sad...

No other reason?

What other reason?
The child is here.

Scoot, you.

Don't get me wrong.

But that Mr. Yu is a strange old duck.

You'll get hurt if you fall for him.
Be careful.

I should be telling you that.

I'm fine. You be careful.

Why should I be careful?

You'd know better than me.

Hee-hee! Jonghye, look.

You're on the sign.

You are. You finally made it.

But, um, where is everyone?

We're still an hour early.

You ever get to a theater an hour early?

How do you feel?

Kind of nervous.

Nervous?

You listen to me, once this movie
comes out, you're on your way.

I just hope it's not a flop.

Flop-shmop.

Psst. Jonghye.

There.

- Hello, Director.
- Hello.

Oh, Jonghye. And friends.

You look pale. Are you all right?

Nah, I'm always like this at a premier.

Jonghye, you'll have to excuse me...

Of course.

Poopy panties.

- The coffee's great.
- Thanks.

An Ad-hoc Show before the move?

Uh-huh.

What's that?

You've never seen it?

They used to put on stage shows
before the movie starts.

They called 'em Ad-hoc Shows, see?

Who does that these days?

Kitae's doing it to promote our movie.

Kitae?

Mm. He thinks an old school Ad-hoc
Show is right for our film.

He's doing it special for Jonghye.

Must be nice.

Uh-huh, it is.

- Jonghye. - Hm?

Look.

I should say hello.

Why? She stinks.

Hush.

Hello.

Where's the director?

He had to step out. He'll be here.

Sit.

All right.

Fair warning. Don't get any ideas.

No fancy costumes or makeup on-stage.

You get me?

Yes.

Hey, babydoll.

Director! You sleep all right?

What sleep? Not a wink all night.

I went to a fortune-teller yesterday.

She swears it will be a hit,
don't worry.

If I believed fortune-tellers I'd already
be at Cannes, Berlin and Venice.

I'd be happy to break 100,000.

Are you kidding?

We'll be bigger than Home of the Stars.

Director!

C'mone, quick, c'mere.

Mr. Yang, what now?

We're a hit!

Huh? A hit?

C'mon, quick.

As far as the eye can see.

The first show is sold out.
The second show, too.

- Mr. Yang.
- Director.

Congratulations.

You, too. You'll sweep the awards
this year.

All thanks to you.

Nice work, Jonghye.

Congratulations.

Stay in line, come on, people.

Look, you've got scalpers.

Scalpers means we're sure to be a hit.

Nothing to worry about now.

We don't know what they think.
Don't get ahead of yourself.

- Right?
- Right.

You get ready for the Ad-hoc Show.

Oh, okay.

Go on.

What did I tell you?

This will change your life.

I'll make you into Korea's biggest star.

Macao Choi!

Seaman Pak.

It's a hit.

It's already showing.

Look at that line.

Don't you see Jonghye on the sign?

Huh? She's not the star.

But she shines brighter.

She performed the greatest scenes.

Your girl? Listen to Mr. Full-of-Himself.

Show some restraint.

As if I could at this point.

Want a ticket?

Nah, later. I want to revel in it.

Do you think they'll like it?

Ask an experienced director.

Even if I did, you never can tell
with audiences.

I think it's a hit, it flops.

I think it's a flop, it's a hit.

It happens all the time.

What about this time?

Everyone's so sure, it's got me worried.

Hey, it's a start.

I can't sit here.

W-wait...

How long has it been?

Thoughts of seeing you...

rotting in my cold dark cell...

kept me going, Geumok.

I'm sorry, Yongguk.

I'm... I'm with someone else now.

Forgive me.

How was it?

Awesome!

- Glad to hear it!
- Yeah!

Did you like it?

A lot. You should see it.

I'll do that.

Welcome.

- Mr. Yang?
- Over there.

- Mr. Yang. And our director.
- Seaman Pak!

We're a hit. A huge hit.

Thank you.

You were great.

Please.

- Nice job.
- Thank you.

You, too.

Let me tell you, in all my years,
I've never had a premier like this.

All thanks to you.

No, thanks to you.

- Mr. Yang.
- Yes.

Congratulations.

You're going to make a bundle.

If I do, bonuses for everyone,
count on it.

- Don't forget now.
- Never.

Another thing, I had no idea an
old school Ad-hoc would be such a hit.

Same with the Seaman Pak
Package Show.

This Kang Kitae, he's got a flair
for the business.

The press release says you were
a showgirl?

Yes.

You play one in the picture.

What made you change careers?

Out of necessity.

I'm not that great of a singer.

I understand the director created
the part just for you?

That's an exaggeration.

We met a few times doing shows,
that's all.

You're aware that you're hotter
than Choi Minhye now?

I wouldn't say that, but I'm grateful that
audiences are enjoying the film.

Kitae, Kitae!

Kitae... You read it?

What?

Lee Jonghye's interview. Look.

There, there, there.

She's a star now.

The picture should have
came out bigger.

The man of the hour.

I got shows, interviews, why do you
keep bugging me?

I want to see you. I need a reason?

I just want to see you.

You wouldn't poot a penny when
I needed investment money.

Things change, huh?

So I was wrong.
You're a star director now.

There will be an opportunity
to make it up to you.

Make it up to me? How exactly?

I'll produce your next project.

You're a member of Seven Stars,
after all.

Who is? Have we got a contract?

When I asked for a contract and a
little advance, what did you say?

Loyalty, you said. Who needs a contract,
you said.

I don't owe you a thing, got that?

I don't have time for this.

Songwon... You sure you want to do this?

Not the face...

That what you expected?

Take your best shot, go on.

I don't have to take it like I used to.

Go on, go on!

Maybe I will..!

Uh-huh.

Want to hear something funny?

I'm signing my next project with
Kang Kitae and Universal's Song Mijin.

Fine! Go! See if I care!

- Here.
- Uh-huh.

Thanks for signing with us.

Loyalty's loyalty, see?

I'm looking forward to a special
at the Victoria and the Hanyang.

Not to worry. We'll pull out all the stops.

Let's celebrate. My treat.

Oh...

We have a previous engagement.

With the producers of
Fists of Vengeance.

Some other time then.

Yes, ma'am.
Kitae, come with us.

Your Ad-hoc Show really helped
the movie.

- Of course. I'll be there.
- Good.

Thank you for making our first venture
such a success.

A toast.

- To Fists of Vengeance!
- Fists!

We broke 100,000 today.

At this rate we'll set box office
records way over 200,000.

Never mind records, 200,000
would suit me fine.

It's been a while.

Yes, sir.

Allow me.

- Hello.
- Come in.

What are you doing here?

Ah, you didn't know.

Kang Kitae put together the
Ad-hoc Show for us.

It was a big factor in attracting
audiences, so we invited him.

Well? Take a seat.

Thanks.

Seaman Pak and I just signed
with the Bitnara Show.

Good for you.

It won't be long till I buy the
Sunyang Theater.

Not long at all.

You hold your liquor well.

Anything else I can do for you?

No. Only when absolutely necessary.

I heard you were careful.

I've heard about you, too.

About the ladies?

Yes.

Chaeyong, I have a rule.

Don't mix business with pleasure.

And we're business partners.

Jonghye.

I didn't know you'd be here.

You're so busy, it's the only way
I could see you.

Want to get out of here?
