All language subtitles for Lights and Shadows E30

I appreciate your time.

What is it?

It's about Kitae.

I know how it looks,
calling you like this out of nowhere.

But I didn't know where else to turn.

So after careful consideration,
I called you.

Apart from your relationship with him,
he's an old friend.

I'm worried about him, too.

There's nothing for you to apologize for.

Thank you for saying that.

Do you know
what's going on with him?

Yes.

You know Kitae.

It's absurd to think
he's mixed up with the mob.

How could something
like this happen?

Just saying he could receive life
or a death sentence is ridiculous.

If anyone can help him, you can.

You're in a position of power.

I thought you could clear this up.

Help him.

We don't live in an age of
law and order...

but it's not entirely unconscionable.

There must be something to it.

If not, the investigation
will clear it up.

Kitae and I have our differences.

But he's my friend.

I'm as worried as you are.
Try to be patient.

I'll do anything I can to help him.

What did you want to talk about?

The Kang Kitae problem.

Kang Kitae?

Yes.

You asked me to help him
once before.

What's between you two?

I'm with Bitnara Productions.

It's more than just a
business relationship, I think.

The truth is, I care for him.

I'll do anything to
get him out of the trouble he's in.

Please help.

We have a business relationship, too.

But there's more I want from you.

Name it. I'll do anything.

1412. Open up.

New fish.

Pay your respects.

Think you can just walk in
and ignore us?

Haven't you heard how things
are inside?

We're all right compared to other cells,
so don't be scared.

Let's get started.

Introduce yourself and tell us
why you're in here.

Kang Kitae.

From Sunyang.
I run Bitnara Productions.

Whoa, singer chicks.

I heard those singers smoke weed.
Is that what you're in for?

What they get you for?

Suspicion of involvement
in organized crime.

Th-then the guy that's like a brother
to Han Jipyong.

The guy that slapped around
Jo Taesu.

Your pardon.
You're THAT Mr. Kang?

I was way out of line.
Forgive me.

This way, sir.

Just saying he could receive life
or a death sentence is ridiculous.

If anyone can help him, you can.

You're in a position of power.

I thought you could clear this up.

Help him.

What did Cha Suhyok say?

The investigation is on-going
and to be patient.

That's all well and good unless
it turns out bad.

Don't you remember?

When we came to Seoul,
that old palm-reader?

You have a thorny path
and many mountains to cross

...before your good fortune.

I can see that was no lie.

How could someone with your rotten
luck fall for a guy with even worse luck?

Once I cross the mountains
a good day will come.

It's all the pain until then
that I don't like.

Where have you been?

They released Subong and Johnny.

And all the others?

No. Not everyone.

Still, I'm glad.
Are Subong and Johnny okay?

I heard it's pretty rough.

They say they're okay,
but they look awful.

I hope Mr. Kang gets out soon.

He'll be fine, don't worry.

Look, I want to get out of here, too.
See my kids.

Let's wrap this up.

That's what I'm saying.
I keep telling you.

I didn't kill Han Jipyong,
I never killed anyone.

You took over the Hanyang
from Han, didn't you?

You tried to kill him then.

Kang Kitae showed up and saved him,
that's why you hate him.

You went one-on-one with him
a while back.

Word is you bowed
and called him sir.

Who said that?

It's all lies.
I didn't lose to Kang Kitae.

I was still recovering.
We put off the fight.

So you two hated each other.

So you ordered Han's death
in retaliation.

Kang Kitae told us everything.

What?

That little twit told you what?

That I had Han Jipyong killed?

Exactly.

Filthy little...

Turn him over to the DA.

Sir.

Confess whatever you have to confess
and let's wrap this up.

If you confess we'll take that
into account.

If you were me, if you were
a respectable businessman...

would you confess?

Kang Kitae.

We've got plenty of witnesses that say
you and Han Jipyong were like brothers.

Han Jipyong was murdered over
this night club turf war with Jo Taesu.

Now I ask you, what kind of
respectable businessman...

has a bar fight with Taesu the Knife?

Ask anyone on the street.
Who would believe it?

We've got plenty of
circumstantial evidence.

You're only hurting yourself now.

What?

A friend of mind.
Can I talk to him?

No.

Wait.

I'm a Blue House aide.
I'd like a word with my friend.

Not too long, sir.

I never thought
I'd be begging like this.

But I'm grasping
at straws at this point.

If I don't grab hold, I'll be sucked into
the swamp and never see light again.

I'm innocent.

I can't confess to something
I haven't done.

Time to go.

Suhyok.

Suhyok.

Suhyok!

Monsieur Pierre.

Nothing going on?

Is it okay to come back?

Mm-hm.
The storm has passed.

They arrested everyone they wanted. It's over.

That's good.

I aged ten years.

Miran, you see the paper?

Miss Kang's brother.

I read it.

Did Miss Kang?

She was pretty shook up.
She's not saying much.

I had no idea Kitae was
such a scary guy.

Imagine how his sister feels.

Monsieur.

Oh, right, Miss Kang.

It can't be that bad. Relax.

I have something to do at home,
if you don't mind?

Right, right, off you go.

What is it?

She collapsed in the restaurant.

Why?

Well... the paper.

Mom.

Myonghi, what's going on?
With Kitae, I mean.

It's all a mistake.

Like he's mixed up with the mob?

They'll let him go, don't worry.

Where's Kitae now?

In prison.

Oh, Kitae, my Kitae...

How did she find out?

Mr. Yu brought a paper
to the restaurant.

Where is he?

His room.

Mister, mister.

What is it?

You showed the paper to my mom?

So?

Did you even think?

Did that seem
like a good idea to you?

It's her son.
She should know.

Suppose the shock puts her in the
hospital, what then?

How can you still make
poor judgments like that at your age?

You're out of line here, missy.

Show some respect for your elders.

Forget it. Move out of your room.
Get out!

- Wait... hey... Look here...
- Out! Out! Get out!

Are you insane?

- What is this?
- Calm down.

Those are my shoes.
Italian, Italian...

Yes?

Yes. One moment.

Sir, Kang Myonghi.

It's me.

Suhyok, it's me.
We need to talk.

I'm sorry, I've got a meeting.

I'll call you later.

If she calls again, I'm not in.

Yes, sir.

Sir, join us.

Nah, I want to be alone.

And I'm sick of you guys
calling me sir.

Knock it off.

Yes... sir!

Kitae!

- Kitae.
- Dongchol.

You doing all right?

They know I gave
Mr. Han the money.

They had him under surveillance.

I should've known something
wasn't right when he called me.

I didn't stop to think,
that's the problem.

It wouldn't have mattered,
they were after you.

The problem now
is getting out of this.

I conferred with Ms. Song
and her lawyer yesterday.

He says it won't be easy.

We haven't gone to trial yet.

Don't give up yet.

Exercise time is over.
Line up!

Line up!

You wanted to see me?

Other than a producer meeting
with a director?

Well, if that's it...

I hear "Summer Girl"
has stopped filming.

Whatever happens,
I'm not giving up.

Mr. Kang is gone, but Ms. Song
says she'll help. We'll get it made.

Mr. Choi.

Yeah?

This marijuana business is changing
the face of the entertainment industry.

The current spate of singers will be
barred from broadcasting and recording.

Never mind paying gigs.

In one word, No Sangtaek
and Kang Kitae are out.

The House of Jo Myongguk is in.

You're going into the
music business?

Not just recording.
Movies, broadcasting, I'll control it all.

Why not work with me?

I'll produce your films, get you
leading roles and the best stage venues.

Ah, well, knowing that
Kitae's in trouble and all...

I don't feel like this is the
right thing to do.

Kang Kitae and No Sangtaek
are finished.

They're rotting in prison.
What can they do?

1412. Open up.

Why do we get stuck with all the
new fish in this tiny room?

Don't just stand there.

Tell us who you are and park it.

Well?
You deaf or somethin'?

All right, all right.
I'm Jo Taesu.

What? Come again?

Jo Taesu.

Whew.

The prison officials
are getting sloppy.

Sticking two mob guys
in the same cell?

Maybe they can tell
there's just one mob guy.

What do you want?

I'm visiting Kitae.

You expect us to leave then?

I'll come back.

You enjoy your visit.

Don't bother coming back.

What do you want
to see him for?

Seeing you got him
in this mess.

You and your luck got him here,
now, like this.

So don't,
just don't bother him again.

Kitae.

Why did you come here?

Kitae.

What's wrong with you?
You should have stopped her.

What's going on?
What's happening?

Nothing's settled yet,
don't worry.

You know your son is no gangster.

I've got the best legal counsel.

I'll have good news soon.

This is a nasty place.
Don't come here again.

Oh, my boy...

I saw Dongchol.
He's fine, don't worry.

I've already spoken with Mr. Shin.

If the troupe has any trouble,
help them out.

I will.

Look after her while I'm inside.

Jo Myongguk has contacted
the Seven Stars and Bitnara singers.

He's offering premium rates to those
that weren't implicated

...in the marijuana scandal.

He met with Choi Songwon?

Yes. He made him an offer.

It's clear he intends on
taking over the film industry.

Keep an eye on him and
report anything out of the ordinary.

Ma'am.

Let's go.

Jo Taesu?

Uh-oh, of all the cells,
why yours?

Ask the guards to switch you.

Why embarrass myself?

I'm fine, forget it.

Hey.

Taesu wants you.

Don't let this get out of hand.

Don't worry.

Long time.

I was cursing heaven
for sticking me here.

Then I heard you're inside
and I gave a prayer of thanks.

If I couldn't get even I'd have died of
frustration in here.

Jang Cholhwan and Jo Myongguk
treated you like a dog.

Why be mad at me?

Cause I was doing great...

until you came along.

You've ruined my life.

Sangtaek,
why waste your breath?

Work him over.

Even if we get down,
the results are going to be the same.

Let's forget it.

Okay.

Enough.

Listen, I gave you a break
and you treated me like a joke.

Now I'm going to squeeze you
until you stop laughing.

Having you killed inside is nothing.

But that's no fun.

I'll chew on you a little
until your trial.

See you tomorrow, same time,
same place.

Pssh.

You okay?

Fine.

Kitae's in prison and there's nothing
I can do about it.

Help me.

What can I do?

You and Kitae are no good.

I feel bad for him,

but he might have to spend
the rest of his life in jail.

You going to waste your life
sending him care boxes?

Wake up.
Look out for yourself.

- Taesong.
- What can I do?

Enough of that.

With the scandal and all
I didn't want to bother you...

Someone was looking for you
at the orphanage.

What?

He claimed to be
sent by your father.

He had a photo of you
when you were little.

The director called me
and I met him.

There's something I didn't tell you.

What?

Remember the pro-North delegation
that came to the orphanage?

Your dad visited Korea,
but he left to Japan.

Even if he is your dad,
he's pro-Commie, in Japan, see?

I didn't tell you
so you wouldn't be in danger.

I'm telling you this
so you'll forget about Kitae.

You've got your own problems,
your own life.

You understand?

No visitors.

Why?

He already has visitors.

Can you tell me who?

I really shouldn't...

What the heck, I'm a fan.

Her name is Lee Jonghye.

Aren't you eating?

It can't be worse than prison food.

No, I'm fine.

How are you?
You're not hurt?

I'm fine.

They think I'm with the mob.

They leave me alone.

Listen to you.
Still he jokes?

I'm told everyone in the troupe
was released?

So what?
Their careers are over.

They're in a bad spot.
Look after them.

I will. I know how things are,
don't worry.

Do me a favor.

Anything.

Don't visit me.

Not seeing you is bad enough.

Seeing you like this is unbearable.

I won't give up.
I'll see you when I get out.

Trust me. Wait for me.

Kitae.

You're going to make me
remember your crying face

...when I go back in there?
Don't cry.

Okay. Sorry.

Time. Wrap it up.

Listen, I want a word.
Give us a minute.

Goodbye.

Bye.

I'll make this quick.

You're up against it.

I figure Jang Cholhwan and Cha Suhyok
are in this pretty deep.

How do you mean?

Nam Daeho saw your prosecutor
meeting with Jang and Cha Suhyok.

Worse, Daeho found out that they arrested Mr. Han, got him to call you,

then let him go.

They had this whole thing planned
from the start.

Time's up.

The President sent for me this afternoon.
He gave me two gifts.

First, he praised the recent marijuana
seizures and gangland arrests.

Second, he intends to reprimand
the KCIA director.

Congratulations, sir.

I think this calls for a toast.

To the President and victory.

To victory.

It's been a while since
I've laughed out loud like this.

I still get angry when I think of all the
trouble Kang Kitae has caused me.

But he may have been a blessing
in disguise.

I may end up thanking him.

Why will the President reprimand
Director Kim?

I'm not at liberty to say.

You'll see for yourself
when it's over.

The Club of One Light, perhaps?

Nothing gets past you.

Cha Suhyok, you told me once...

You'd put Director Kim's sword
in my hand.

I had no idea it would be so soon.

I owe this victory to you.

You honor me.

Prosecutor Ahn.

Yes, sir.

You won't regret joining
the Jang Cholhwan family.

I'll see you made Attorney General.
Keep up the good work.

At your service, sir.

Good!

Let's drop the formalities.
A drink!

Madame Yun!
Bring in the girls!

A toast!

What now?

Worried about tomorrow's beating?

We're not even close to done.
Get some sleep.

Actually, you grew on me.

Rushing in like you didn't know
any better.

And your business sense.

We might have ended up
working together.

I don't know how it got like this.

Jang Cholhwan, Cha Suhyok,
Jo Myongguk.

They got the both of us.

What?

Especially you. They used you
and threw you away.

Explain that.

They had us locked up, both of us.

It was all a carefully laid plan.

Tell me everything.

You trashed?

Prosecutors can hold their liquor.

That's not all I can hold.

Dork.

The world's a funny place.

Who would have thought
you could change so much?

The way you used to tease me
about studying for the bar.

And here you are, who knew?

Who knew?

Who knew I had this monster
inside me?

Not me.

Not me.

Why did you call me?

Jang Cholhwan suggested we talk.

What about?

I understand a number of agencies
are competing for you.

I'd like a chance to work with you.

Aren't you strictly a film producer?

I used to be.

But the recent marijuana scandals
have changed all that.

I'm expanding into music
and broadcasting.

I think you and I would make
great partners.

Thank you for the offer.

But Bitnara hasn't
closed its doors yet.

I'm still with Bitnara.
I have no intention of changing.

And when Bitnara closes its doors?

Let's do this.

If you do find yourself thinking
of a change...

I hope you'll consider a contract
with me first.

Fair enough.
I'll consider it.

Thank you.

Did you think about my offer?

Yes. I'm with you.

And the Seven Stars singers
are with me.

Wise move.

I'll give Seven Stars special treatment
out of consideration for Mr. No.

Good luck to us both.

Yes, sir.

- Does this hurt?
- Ouch! No touchies.

You're making it worse.

- You all right?
- Yes.

You saw Mr. Kang?
How is he?

He's worried about you.
He wanted me to talk to you.

It is what it is and there are no promises,
but he hasn't gone to trial yet.

Don't lose hope,
just wait for good news.

But with him gone and all...

won't that interfere with our gigs?

Ms. Song at the Victoria
will do what she can.

I'm in charge
while Mr. Kang is gone.

I'll make sure we have work,
so try not to worry.

Right, it's not the first time
Bitnara has had it tough.

We always pull together
and come up with something.

If we stick together now,
we'll get through this.

Right!

- We can do it.
- Right, right.

Hey.

Sit here.

'scuse.

Is it true Atlantic Records
was scouting you?

Sure. A songwriter
and their president.

What do you think?

About what?

They must have made
a great offer.

Mr. Shin,
what do you think I am?

Mr. Kang gave me my shot.
You think I'm a traitor?

I may change my men frequently,
but I stay loyal to my company.

Thanks for saying that.

Then if you'll excuse me.

Now that's loyalty.

With Chaeyong and Hyebin,
we stand a chance, even without Kitae.

This is your big chance.

My what?

Your chance to run
Bitnara Productions.

What?

You heard Jo Myongguk acquired
Seven Stars and the Emerald?

And he made Chaeyong an offer.

With No Sangtaek and Kitae
out of the way...

you can sneak in
and control the industry.

This is your chance.

Han Sunae.

Have you forgotten what Kitae
has done for us?

Now you want me to sneak in
while he's away?

Don't be naive.
Be realistic.

Kang Kitae and I
came this far together.

I'll look after things
while he's gone.

I betrayed him once, never again.

Never again.

Remember that and hush up.

Ugh, you are sooo...

Sit.

I don't have much to offer.

Eat.

Thanks.

You first.

Eat.

The trial is coming up.
You find a way out?

Like I could if you can't?

So we rot in prison for life?

What?
You want to bust out?

With the guards in your pocket...
it's not impossible.

For smokes, sure.
A little meat now and then.

But nothing else.

Look, look, time is short.
Eat.

Thinking Jang Cholhwan
is behind it is one thing.

Having proof is another.

Yes, that's true.

But isn't it better to make a stink
than to sit and be slaughtered?

I've heard you have a connection
in Mt. Nam.

Perhaps you could ask for help.

All right.

Like you said, rather than sit by,
we'll do what we can.

I looked into it.

They have a lot of facts to back up
their case against him.

Friendships with the mob, funding.

That's real proof.

And all planned by Jang Cholhwan?

The problem is bringing it to light.

There's time before the trial.

I'll dig some more.

If you really want fish,
leave the rotten tree.

Come to me. I'll be glad to have you.

If I work for you, I'll never get out
from under your shadow.

But with Mr. Jang, my words,
my thoughts, can see the light of day.

That's why I choose Mr. Jang.

- Sit.
- Sir.

I wonder, is there an end
to your ambition?

I also wonder how Jang managed
to capture your soul.

Did you think you could trick me
and get away with it?

You said I'm your man,
but you didn't trust me, either.

You fool...

My trusting you and your trusting me...

aren't the same thing.

Suhyok, what are you doing here?

Cutting deals with Director Kim
behind my back?

Ingrate.

You knelt right here.
You begged me to spare you.

You dare stab me in the back?

Have you no pride?

Pride is in surviving.

Surviving and waiting.

Waiting for a chance to turn the tables.

Well said. The tables can turn
at any time.

As you will see.

Kitae, Jo Taesu's boys
are acting strange.

How so?

I heard them talking.

Jo Taesu's planning
to bust out.

How exactly?

I didn't catch the details.

If I'm facing a life in prison
like Jo Taesu, I'll want out.

I have to know what he's planning.

Kitae.
What are you saying?

Dongchol,
I have to get out of here.

Jang, Myongguk, Suhyok.

If I don't kill them,
I'll die of frustration in here.

They say it's all set.

When?

The day of the trial.

How?

Kitae.

I found out what he's planning.

And?

Your trial's tomorrow?

Yes.

Good luck.

How's he getting out?

Move along.

Move.

Wha--?
