[Episode 26]

Next.

Yessir, next,
Bitnara Productions presents...

Ha Chunhwa sound-a-like,
Ho Chunhwa.

Well? Sing.

The moon...the round...

Enough!

I doubted you would show.

Guess you're not yellow after all.

You know what I thought
on the way here?

You and me, we've got bad mojo,
it's got to be dealt with.

Not with you. You make your boys
fight for you.

How about going a round with me,
tough guy?

- Don't insult---
- Stand down.

Think you can take the tiger?

True, you've inconvenienced me.

I'm known as the fist of the nation.
You think I'm a pushover?

I'm Jo Taesu. Jo Taesu.

Exactly.

So let's go.

Leave it to me.
I'll give him what for.

Don't interfere.

Oh, that's right.
I already wiped the floor with you.

You don't have to act. Just go.

- Dokku.
- Yes, sir.

As you know,
fists are my specialty.

All right. It's been a while since
I've had a good workout.

I and my family are honored to fight the
"fart of the nation".

It will be an inconvenience to me
if this gets out.

So take your beating and shut up.

Quit farting around already.

Come on!

Sir.

You're not in the best condition...

How are you gonna...

Ah, Mr. Han's boys nearly killed you.

You're not healed up yet?

Look, this is no fun, forget it.

I'll put off your beating until
you're healed.

Let's wait till then.

You rousted Mr. Han.

It's your place now.

We'll leave you to it.

No you won't.

The Bitnara will keep...

playing the Hanyang.

Let's go.

Sir.

You all right?

What's the idea challenging Jo Taesu
to a fight?

What else could I do?

Everyone all right?

Yes.

Jo Taesu gave ground.
No mobs will dare touch us now.

You saw for yourselves.
Jo Taesu wasn't at his best.

No rumors. You didn't see a thing.

Like we can forget how cool you were?
Am I right, Subong?

Hai-ya!

Anyway, let's go celebrate defending
the Hanyang!

To the bar!

It's well known that the One Light's
last leader, General Kang...

was murdered by Kim Chaeuk.

If he gets to you, too...

it will shake the foundation
of the Club of One Light.

Our minds are made up.
If it will remove Kim Chaeuk...

the T-K Group is prepared to lodge
a formal complaint to the President.

I understand how you feel.

But hear me out first.

To be honest, I'm thrilled.

With you behind me, I'm not dead yet.

I'm certain that for you and
the President, I can regain my old post.

Thank you all.

Please use this...

for the betterment of the
Club of One Light.

Sir, we're with you to the end.

To the end.

As you just saw, the Club of One Light
is my weapon of last resort

against Director Kim.

If he finds out, everything is lost.
Be careful.

Yes, sir.

You're late.
On a date with Kitae?

He took me to meet his mother.

What? The formal introduction?

And? It go okay?

Uh-huh. Dinner and everything.

Then what's with the look?
Something wrong?

No.

Ri-i-ight. Like I don't know you
head to toe?

It's something.

It just felt like it was a crime
to be an orphan.

Well...

She didn't say anything but
I still felt small.

I can understand a little.

Me and Gyesun, we know our parents
are dead, but you don't.

I know you're holding out hope you'll find
them, but don't let it get you down.

You'll be even more famous with this
movie. Maybe they'll find you then, huh?

I hope you're right.

- Dinner?
- I ate.

Maybe a tonic?

You're looking peeked lately.

Young Master Kitae brought
his fiancee home today.

She's a restaurant regular.

She was a singer but now
she's in the movies.

She's pretty and nice.

The Young Master's business is
going well.

The Lady is delighted.

Can't you stop saying "Young Master"
in front of me?

Oh, sorry.

I know you hate it, but it slips out.

Don't you have a girl?

A man should marry early,
save his money, settle down.

Mother, I'm tired.

Oh, all right.

You hear the latest?

Kang Kitae whooped Jo Taesu bad.

I heard Taesu knelt down and
called him sir.

Can you believe..?

What was that?
Taesu knelt down?

To who?

I heard they fought it out and
Taesu knelt down and called Kitae sir.

Morons. You think Taesu
would ever kneel before Kang Kitae?

'tards! Is that all you have to do,
listen to gossip?

It's not gossip.
Everyone's talking about it.

He rousted Han Jipyong and
took over the Hanyang.

But instead of giving us a gig,
he kept the Bitnara on.

He and Kang Kitae have
worked something out.

Mr. Kang, you know what people
are saying?

You whipped Jo Taesu and
now you're running his mob.

I swear...

Who's saying that?

You think Jo Taesu will like that?

Still, thanks to the rumors...

the Yongdeungpo and Seodaemun mobs
are stearing clear of us.

Kang Kitae is Emperor of the Night.

Bookings for Bitnara acts
are rushing in.

Rumors are one thing,
business another.

Gossip can come back to smack you
in the head.

- Yes, sir.
- Ugh.

Yes, Bitnara Productions.

Yes, I see. Right.

Kitae, the studio is ready.

- Shall we?
- Sure.

I had no idea Subong had the chops.

Cutting an album and all,
you're a real showman now.

You didn't know he could sing?

I knew, but with that face?

Dongchul, you know Lee Juil?

The MC for Ha Chunhwa's recital?
The mug on that guy.

Subong looks just like him.

Yeah, now that you mention it.

Comedy, yes, but singing?
I never imagined.

Subong should thank you in this life
and the next.

- Chaeyong. - Oh.

You're in the studio?

Sure, you're recording today.

Not too much pressure.

Rehearsals, recording,
pretty rough, huh?

Not to mention your movie.

You're our biggest earner.

I thought so, too,
but I worry Mr. Kang doesn't know it.

Not know? I know just how much
you work for us.

I'm grateful.

Kidding.

Just the two of us, all alone

Time alone to talk

About meetings and partings...

You wanted me?

Weasel!

What was that for?

You got a death wish, is that it?

Tell what this is about and
I'll answer!

You're making Summer Girl with
Universal's Song Mijin?

You begged me to invest in Fists of
Vengeance when you had nothing.

And now you dump me?

Tell me why!

I don't deserve that.

Choi Songwon is under contract
to Universal.

A condition of which is a
Bitnara Productions investment

and Universal distribution.

Yu Chaeyong and Choi Songwon
are with Bitnara.

And the heroine, Lee Jonghye,
is dating Kang Kitae.

There was nothing I could do.

Whatever the reason, I'm investing in
and distributing the film, you got that?

I can't.

You'll have to talk to Kang Kitae and
Song Mijin yourself.

Hey...Hey!

Did Jo Taesu really kneel before you?

That's just gossip.

It's all over town.

Gossip or no gossip, it's true things are
better between us.

It seems unlikely he'll be bothering us
in the future.

Nicely done.

Jo Myongguk wth Taeyang Pictures.

Send him in.

Choi Songwon's picture.

Some problem with investment
and distribution.

Then if you'll excuse me?

No. We still have more to discuss.

Jo Myongguk.

Come in. I believe you know
Mr. Kang?

Yes.

Please.

Yang Taesong said you wanted to
see me.

What about?

About investment and distribution of
Choi's new film.

You may not be aware that Taeyang
Pictures invested in Fists of Vengeance.

With an option to invest in and
distribute his next project.

There's no contract, per se,
but we had a verbal agreement.

Working secretly with Choi like this
isn't up to industry standards.

I do have a contract.

If you feel that's unfair,
we'll let the court decide.

You think Mt. Nam's Director Kim
can protect you?

Now you listen to me.

Whatever you may have heard,
I need no backer to run my business.

I didn't need Jang Cholhwan to get me
my foreign film quota rights.

You know how many punks like you
I've out-lasted in this business?

The world doesn't turn around you,
you little upstart.

You're out of line.

Out of line? How so?

I'm trying to be polite here.

You said let the court decide.
That's just what I intend to do.

Do your worst.

You're doing well now,
but don't get used to it.

One shot and
it can all come tumbling down.

I'm doing well because of you.

There will be no tumbling until
I've paid you back, don't you worry.

If you'll excuse me.

I have to say, I dislike him
more than Jang Cholhwan.

At least with Jang you know
what he's thinking.

But not that one.

Very creepy.

You're back?

Any calls?

The director of the
Mulyong Orphanage.

She said it's urgent.

All right.

Hello?

It's Taesong. What's going on?

Someone was looking for Jonghye
at the orphanage.

With a photo from when she was little.

What?

We're withering in
Kang Kitae's shadow.

Can't we do something?

Jo Taesu has warmed up to him.

The Bitnara is playing all of
Seven Stars' best gigs.

I can't hold out much longer
at this rate.

You have a man in
Kitae's organization?

Yes.

Get a full report of Bitnara activities
from him.

Sir.

You have a plan?

What?

That needn't concern you at this point.
Just be patient.

Gyesun, you put out my costume?

No.

I called and told you to.

What if you did?

What? You little..!
What's this about?

I'm not your maid, what's with YOU?

You got a death wish?

You first, c'mon,
show me whatcha got!

The papers will love the story of you
living with a guy.

What? Mouthy...

Johnny Hun, Cherry Cutie,
did you hear that?

None of my business,
right, Cherry?

Right. Gyesun's not wrong, either.

You've been awfully hard
on the dancers.

Argh!

You're playing the Hanyang.
We should go.

I'm not going, so there!

Jongja, what is it now?

I'm not Jongja, I'm Hyebin,
Lee Hyebin!

Summer Girl.
Director, Choi Songwon

And now, the most sought-after name
in the entertainment business.

A name that we believe will be
a great boon to this film.

Bitnara Productions. Mr. Kang,
Mr. Shin, if you please.

Cannes.

With all our prayers.

And big box office!

Sunae tells me there's real fireworks
between Jonghye and Chaeyong.

Competition like that is no joke.

They both hate to lose, that's all.

You must be in an awkward situation.

What?

Don't be coy.

You love one of 'em.

You have to look after the other's career.

Be tough to do both at once.

So they'll both do well.
What's so tough?

Bitnara invested in the movie,
it has to do well.

Which makes it harder on you.

Why now?

You've sunk your money into records.

Investing in a film is a big risk.

Twenty years in this business,
I've seen lots of failures.

And in all those years,
a few successes, am I right?

You got me there.

That'll be me so quit your worrying,
sheesh.

There, now you're ready.

Just give a good performance.

Sunae...

I feel strange.

Why? Are you sick?

No, it's not that.
I just feel so frustrated.

Listen to you. This from the girl
that performs live on-stage?

Just go slow, you'll be fine.

Reading the script, I was thinking...

The fact that the film is like real life
makes it that much better.

How do you mean?

Oh, Baehwa and Hyerin,
fighting over one man.

Just like you and Chaeyong.

That's stupid.

Baehwa loses Jongu to Hyerin.

That will never happen.

Whoa.
I was kidding, why so serious?

- Places, please.
- Okay.

The actors are warmed up.

Good light.

- Ready?
- Ready.

Standby.

Break a leg. Fighting.

Camera roll.

Cue!

I'll see you later.

Bye.

Hyerin.

Did she really slap her?

The director told her to.

Maybe so, but I think it was real.

Of course it was,
what good is fake acting?

- That's absurd.
- Why you always picking a fight?

- When did I ever..?
- Hush, both of you.

Hyerin.

What...what's wrong?

Tramp. How could you?

You know I love Jongu.
How could you?

Heaven has given you so many gifts.

A great voice, looks, wealth.

But Heaven has given Jongu to me.

And I won't let him go.

Even with all those gifts, without Jongu,
I have nothing.

I won't let you have him.
Just you wait.

Cut!

Perfect. Perfect.

Chaeyong, you were a little nervous.
Just a little unnatural.

Let's try it again.

Sorry.

Sorry? It was a great first take.

Don't be nervous.
Once again, standby.

Now, now, now...

The weather's with us.

We have the mood, it's perfect.

Okay, okay.

To Cannes we go, Cannes.

Cue!

What if your daughter-in-law
had a past?

A past? A man?

Um, uglier than that.

What are you getting at?

Have you heard of Kungjeong?

What's that?

The biggest men
in the country go there to drink.

And Kitae's Lee Jonghye...

has served drinks there.

What?

And that's what he wants to marry.

Wait...Why would a nice girl like that
go there?

Nice? She's sneaky.
And Kitae is completely taken in.

Oh, you made it.

Mr. Yu, here.

What's this?

Grilled patties.
You, too, ma'am.

Let's see...

Mmm, this is good.

You know Cholla Province was famous
for this dish?

Our show went through Namwon,
this is as good as that.

What do you think?

I don't know much about duck,
but it's good.

Wait, this is duck?

Yes, we're changing the menu.

As well you should.

It's not at all like beef or pork.
A whole different feeling.

It's sure to do well.

Thank you.

Shall we add it to the menu?

Sure, of course.

Listen, Mr. Yu.

Have you heard about the
Kungjeong area?

Next to the Blue House?

Why do you ask?

What goes on there exactly..?

Ah, well, Mrs. Pak...

It's not something
you can talk about.

Why?

Don't even ask me why.

Say the wrong thing and
you'll end up where

where even the rats and
the birds can't find you.

What kind of place is it?

Look. You have to keep this
between us.

Tell anyone else and
it will be very serious.

Some of the escort ladies they use there
are singers and actresses.

Didn't you know Jonghye has gone
from singing to acting?

- How was the first day?
- Great.

She totally stole the show from
Yu Chaeyong.

How?

The first scene was with Jonghye and
Chaeyong.

Chaeyong was so nervous,
they had to re-shoot.

Jonghye?
Did Jonghye do okay?

Sure. Miss Fancy Pants Chaeyong
was so awkward,

she ended up crying like a baby.

Rats. I wish I'd seen it.

Anyway, our Jonghye
won the first day.

She showed Kang Kitae who
the real actress is.

Hee-hee.

Good for you.

- Pierre.
- Oh.

You started filming today.

And? You steal the show?

No. I was awful.

My costumes?

Oh, they're ready.

What was that?
Talk about a cold shoulder.

She was too nervous.
She's pretty upset.

It was her first day,
she made mistakes, so what?

This isn't what I wanted.

I said I wanted more ruffles.

Any more and you'll
only see your eyes.

Pierre said that was perfect.

I know what suits me best.

More ruffles.

- But Pierre--
- I have to wear it.

Myonghi, get them.

All right.

Here.

Ouch! What was that?

I'm sorry.

What is it?

- Give us a minute?
- Ma'am.

Chaeyong, calm down.

You did all right for your first day.
It's okay.

I'm not doing this to hear
I did all right for my first day.

When I think about messing up
in front of Kitae...

It breaks my heart.

It's early days.
Don't let it upset you.

What Director Kim does best
is dirty politics.

He's weakened the opposition by
buying off a number of their leaders.

He also bought off Senator Yu Jinsu.

Yes, correct.

Looking at the total effect...

it's clear he is trying to win the
President's favor.

At the same time, his politics
are his Achilles' heel.

Achilles' heel?

Yes. The fact that he bought off
opposition leaders...

could be the opportunity we need
to corner him.

Director Kim, sir.

Send him in.

Sir.

Sorry to barge in
without calling first.

Not at all. Please.

You've been quiet lately.

They hardly hear from you
at the Blue House anymore.

I'm taking time to reflect.

Reflect?

Not plan your counterattack?

Counterattack? Never.

As if I could in my position?

I'm just grateful
for the position I have.

My, my, my.
Seeing you so dispirited...

Such a waste.

I believe in encouragement.
We'll find you something.

Sir.

Ah, I nearly forgot.

I came to ask you something and
it slipped my mind.

Mr. Jang, you know the
Club of One Light.

Yes, I've heard of it.

Mm. More than heard of it,
I understand.

I absolutely cannot abide
secret military organizations.

If by any chance you're associated
with that group...

I hope you remember that.

I will, sir.

- Mr. Cha.
- Sir.

If your boss is dispirited
it reflects poorly on you.

Look after him.

Arrogant...

You'll see just how "spirited" I can be.

You said I could trust you and
what are you doing?

I have to see the blood on your hands,
I said...

And what are you doing?

Well? What? Tell me what!

Little..!

Answer!

Was his power so impressive?

Was it so attractive to hold power,
to share in their lies?

Didn't you have the power
to trust me?

To tell me the truth?

You should have told me you're here.

You're alone?

I needed a drink.

Then allow me.

You look lonely.

Yes, I am that.

I know the feeling.

I know the pain of unrequited love.

Shall I introduce you to a nice girl?
Dispel some of the loneliness?

No, I'm fine.

Mr. Kang.

Yes.

"Your Girl" is selling well?

The wholesalers are camped out
at the record factory.

It's customary for the songwriter
to get a bonus for a big hit.

How about the Bitnara?

I told you Bitnara Productions doesn't
have any extra cash right now.

Once we've settled up,
you'll get your bonus, don't worry.

You're sure?

Absolutely.

Loyalty is my living, so don't worry.

Kitae, come in here.

Coming.

What it is?

You're really thinking of
marrying that Jonghye girl?

I brought her home, didn't I?

Well, you used to bring Sunyang girls home, too.

Mother...please!

That was kid stuff.
This is completely different.

But, well, she's an orphan.

Background is very important
in marriage.

What, and our family background
is so great?

Jonghye is a wonderful girl.

Don't get yourself worked up.
Just trust us.

Good morning.

What's this?

See for yourself.

Well? You like it?

Much better than I expected.

Well done.

Aww...Oh, Mr. Shin.

What's this?

Oh, the Sunyang Theater.
What's it for?

Sleeping on wood,
licking gallbladders.

Sleeping...licking?

Licking a gallbladder,
dreaming of vengeance.

The Sunyang is my inspiration.

Now for a new talent
in the music scene.

A great singer and all-man.

Let's meet new singer, Hong Subong...

"Men Don't Cry."

Another stormy day passes by

Another drink, all alone

Crack, it's swept away

Is Subong on?

Right now. Hurry, sit.

That's my boy!

My Hong Subong.

I'm so sorry.

I made fun of you,
never noticed the real you.

Sorry.

That's one for the little guy.

Let's hear it for Subong.

Subong, congratulations.

Thank you so much.
Thank you.

Subong's on?

He's really good.

Congratulations.

Sir, thanks for giving a bum like me
a chance.

I swear I'll repay you.

Well, you already are.

It looks like he's got a hit.

The orders are already pouring in.

- Congratulations.
- Thank you.

What?

We wanted a word.

With me?

What is it?

Well...here.

What's this?

Why are you giving this to me?

Chunhwa and me..
could use your help.

Subong and the Ha Sisters
get lots of stage time.

They get a record deal and
we get cold rice.

That's because you're mimics.

- We can't really cut a record--
- Wait.

Give us a shot, we can do it.

Help us out, 'kay?

Okay. I'll talk to Kitae about it.

- Thank you.
- Thank you so much.

Sure.

Baehwa, it's been so long.

I'm happy.

Just hold me tight.

I love everyone who ever brushed
against me.

All the love, all the sadness,
all the traces left deep in my flesh.

Forget all the others, Baehwa.

So many people wake up and
leave without a trace.

Because they must.

Does that include you?

It must.

Sleep now, Baehwa.

Cut!

Whoa, perfect, perfect, huh?

Wow, Jonghye, you're incredible.

But aren't Baehwa's lines too much like
Gyonga's in "Home of the Stars?"

Ah, about that.

I really admire Choe Inho and
Lee Jangho's films.

The unlettered might call it plagiarism.

No!

It's called an "homage."
Homage.

Okay.

Oh. Chaeyong.

You're not filming today.
What's up?

Just watching.

Now that's an actress for you.

Well?

Nice.

Me, I can't wait for our bed scenes.

I'll do my best.

It will look great on screen...

Oh! Ma'am.

Oh.

Hello. What brings you here?

Oh, I was, I mean,
I wanted to talk with Jonghye.

I didn't know how to reach you.

I heard you were here.

You should've asked Mr. Kang.
We would've gone to see you.

Kitae doesn't know I'm here.

Where are your clothes?

Ah. Oops.

They were filming the bed scene.

Bed scene...in the nude?

No, no, not nude.
Just to the cleavage.

P-pardon me, I'll go get dressed.

Mm, good. I'll wait.

I'm sorry to show up like this.

Not at all. May I ask why..?

Jonghye, have you been
to Kungjeong?

Ma'am?

Where they entertain
the important men.

Have you or not?

I have.

I understand the ladies that go there
entertain the men.

You misunderstood.

I went there,
but not for what you think.

So you went.

My Kitae loves you, so I was fine.

When you came to our house and
said you're an orphan...

I thought, oh, poor, pitiful child.

I'll be a mother to her, I thought.

But this is different.

What mother would want a girl that used
her body that way for a daughter-in-law?

I won't have it, I'd rather die.

Break it off with my son.

M-Mother.

Like I said,
Kitae doesn't know I'm here.

Just so you know.

Atlantic and SCJ Records
have been cutting deals with Bitnara.

Including some from the
C'est Si Bon Cafe.

I know that. Nothing else?

They're also planning on making
their own record factory.

They're scouting locations now.

A record factory?

Yes.

Could he be any more
full of himself?

Yes, Seven Stars.

It's Cha Suhyok.
Do you have some time?

Yes.

Yes, sir.

How may I help you?

I have a question for you.

Yes?

A lot of singers smoke marijuana?

More than enough.

They call it Happy Smoke,
they smoke them like cigarettes.

It's easy to get.

Isn't it illegal?

As I understand it, the 1970,
'71 Drug Act prohibits it.

But I've never seen a raid.

American cigarettes, yes,
but never marijuana.

Ah-ha! I get it!

Bitnara Productions has been
signing top stars.

As you know, some are from
C'est Si Bon.

I happen to know a lot of them
smoke pot.

Do this right and we'll be rid of
Kang Kitae in one shot.

Kang Kitae, for sure.
Thanks to marijuana...

the whole country will be
in a ruckus.

So...What do you think?

It's definitely in the middle of nowhere.

It's Song Mijin's. Hopefully,
it will be worth a lot someday.

But do we need this much room
for a record plant?

No.

Not a record plant,
the Bitnara Gardens.

Once it's developed...

we'll have a theater and the
Bitnara Productions Building.

If you're gonna dream, dream big!

I'm happy just thinking about it.

- Let's do it!
- Yeah!
