Jang Cholhwan snapped it up.

Excellent.

[Episode 39]

Welcome.

I know you're busy.
What is it?

Never too busy to celebrate.

- Please.
- Thank you.

Suhyok told you about
the joint production?

Yes.
I'm grateful for the opportunity.

I'm the grateful one.

Run Run Shaw is bound to be pleased
with a big name like you.

The contract on schedule?

Mm-hm. I've transferred
the investment funds.

All that's left is for Jonghye and I
to go to Hong Kong and sign the deal.

Have they decided on a
male lead and a director?

Pacino or De Niro for the lead.

They'll choose a Hollywood director.

They're talking with Terrence Young
with the 007 series, but nothing's set.

A much higher caliber of people.

Oh, yes. Far better than
usual haphazard joint productions.

This is your chance
to be an international star.

Well?

We've received the $2 million.

Well done.

I spoke with Taesu about,
well, a little something extra?

Of course, you'll get your bonus,
not to worry.

Thank you.

You find Jo Myonnguk?

Yes, sir. He's here in the hotel
with Cha Suhyok and Lee Jonghye.

Oh?

No, no, don't mind me,
sit, please.

I felt left out so I stopped in.

Pardon the intrusion.

We're discussing Lee Jonghye's
latest contract.

Ah, I see.
I never miss one of your films.

Thank you.

Ah, I have to say,
since I knew you back in the day...

it's that much more enjoyable.

Wouldn't you say?

We still have some business to discuss.

Ah, sorry.

Mr. Jo. Do you have a second?

Of course.

Sorry.

Pardon me.

You have nothing more
to fear from him.

Just ignore him.

I know.

Rude little twit!

We're in delicate negotiations.
Try to understand.

Delicate, indelicate, he's still a twit.

Keep this up and I won't stand for it.

Of course.

You wanted something?

The money you're keeping for me.

I need it. Now.

How much?

Two million in US dollars.

May I ask why you need so much?

I'm going into the Pachinko business.

With Kim Chaeuk?

Right.
He made me an offer.

How can you trust him?
Don't do it.

I'll do as I see fit.

You just get me my money.

How much is $2 million in our money?

About 1.2 billion won, give or take.

And we have it?

But Jo Myongguk
won't stand for losing it.

Isn't it Jang Cholhwan's money?

He doesn't even know he's lost it yet.

Myongguk will be
going crazy about now.

He'll have to liquidate all his assets
to raise the cash for Jang.

We'll use his $2 million to buy them up.

Oh, yeah! Yeah, baby!

We need to raise $2 million.

Sir?

Jang Cholhwan needs it right now.

How can we raise $2 million?
It's impossible.

Maybe if you just tell
Mr. Jang the truth...

Oh, right, does he seem like
the understanding type to you?

Liquidate whatever you can.
We have no choice, we need the money.

The Sunyang Theater, the Uijongbu
Theater, film options, co-productions.

Anything that we can turn into cash.

Understood?

Yes, sir.

Well? Do you like it?

Mm-hm, very nice.

We'll use two-tone lighting for the halls.

The inner wall design is fine as is.

Got it.

Oh, it's been so long.

When the men hear you singing...
they'll go nuts.

Lucky me, I got a sneak preview.

Welcome.

Go on.
It sounds great.

I'll sing at the opening.

What do you think?

Nice. Just the intimate
atmosphere you're after.

Perfect as a private club
for professionals.

I'll need your help with that,
Chairman.

Of course.

We're in the same boat now,
after all.

A storm is coming.

How so?

It's been decided that these student
protests can't be allowed to continue.

A clean sweep will help
advance the new regime.

Which is good for us.

The faster the new regime is built,
the faster we'll get what we're after.

If there's anyone I need to talk to,
let me know.

I will. I'll introduce you to General Jeong
when we have the chance.

I would appreciate that.

Picking me as your partner...

was half the battle.

Jo Myongguk said he wants to see me.

He's got urgent business, all right.

He may offer to sell you
his singers' contracts.

How do you know that?

Jo Myongguk is up against it.

Not just contracts.
His record company.

Drag out the negotiations if you can.

He's in a hurry.
It should drive the price down.

You have money to buy him out?

Yes. You negotiate,
I'll handle the funding.

Kitae.

The Sunyang Theater is up for sale.

That so? Step-by-step,
just as you planned it.

We'll have to acquire it through third
parties so he doesn't suspect anything.

Mr. Shin, find people we can use.

You got it.

Would you just tell me what's going on?

Being around Kitae gives me
a chill up my spine.

I want to think people change, you know,
but this, this is really scary.

He's not the Kitae
that didn't know any better.

He's meticulous,
planning down to the last detail.

Everything he planned
is falling right into place.

Like he's a seer or something.

And that's what I call scary.

Something happened to him
those 4 years in Japan.

That's the clue to unraveling this.

He's explained a lot, but not that.

If I had to guess,
I'd say he came close to death.

Soldiers that served under
heavy fire won't talk about it.

The ones with cushy postings
are the big talkers.

But those that face death,
they won't talk, or can't.

I see that in Kang Kitae and Jo Taesu.

Neither of them is talking.

This just gets more
and more frustrating.

Don't get yourself worked up.
Just focus on your end.

It's all covered. Just do as Mr. Kang
tells you and you'll come out all right.

I've liquidated everything we could,
per your instructions.

Where does that put us?

Nowhere near $2 million.

Sir, I think the best course of action
is to tell Mr. Jang the truth.

He's investing himself,
so he may understand.

You don't know Jang Cholhwan.

Would I be doing this
if he would see sense?

There's no need
if he would take the loss.

Yes, Taeyang Pictures.

It's me.

Yes, Chairman.

Well?
I told you to get my money.

Why haven't I heard from you?

About that.

I didn't realize you were in a hurry.

I placed it with some exchange dealers
to increase the principal.

I'll need time to get it all.
Please be patient. I'm sorry.

You're sorry, all right. Who said
you could mess with my money?

- I told you to look after it, that's all.
- I-I'm sorry.

- Get me my money.
- Yes, sir.

Jonghye, listen.

The reporters found out.
They're whining for an interview.

No interviews until Hong Kong
makes an official announcement.

You deal with them.

Like those scum ever listen.

Okay. Break a leg.

- Jonghye.
- Hello.

That's our Jonghye.

Is it true you're moving
onto Hollywood?

It's all anyone's talking about.

Nothing's set yet. Mr. Jo's
still ironing out the details.

It's an honor to work
with a future international star, huh?

Of course.

So, ahem, they have a director?

Not yet, but--

How about putting in
a good word for me?

They want a Hollywood director.

They're talking with Terrence Young,
the Bond movie director.

That so?

It's about the Korean War.
You're the heroine.

Why give it to a foreign director?

Nothing's set yet.
I'll mention your name.

Great, "thank you."
Thanks.

Director, have you heard?

C'mon, it's always something.
What now?

Another production company
is buying our movie.

You kidding? It's a great movie,
why farm it out to another studio?

Have you heard anything?

No.

Where did you hear this?

From a guy with Taeyang Pictures.

Oh?
I'll soon find out about this.

- Sorry. My meeting ran late.
- Not at all.

You know anyone in Kwangju?

A close friend and business associate.

Tell him to get out of Kwangju,
right now, tonight.

Why?

You'll see soon enough.

Call him.
Time is running out.

All right.

Now what's so urgent?

Ah, well...You know how Mr. Jang
asked me to look after his spare funds?

Yes.

I have a slight problem.

I used Mr. Jang's money for my
investment in the Run Run Shaw deal.

But now Mr. Jang wants his money.

How much?

$2 million.

You know what Mr. Jang is like.

He won't stand for my using his money.

Can't you help me?

Where would I get that kind of money?

I'm trying to raise political funds myself,
you know that.

I'll talk to him and try
to help him understand.

No.
I'll save that card for the last.

After I've tried everything else.

I'll see how much
the bank will loan me.

Thanks.
With your help, I can do this.

Close the restaurant for the day.

Meet me in Sunyang.

Sunyang? Why?

You'll see.
Myonghi and Sundok, you, too.

Me?

Yes, you. Definitely you.

‘kay.

I can't.
We have a big client coming in.

Forget it.
Come with Mom.

- What for?
- You'll see.

I'll send Dongchol with the car.
He'll drive you down.

- See you later.
- Mm-hm.

Any ideas?

None.

Taeyang Pictures is selling Lee Jonghye's
"Tale of Sukhyang" to another studio.

With Choi Songwon directing
it was bound to do good box office.

Why sell a movie nearly completed?

Taeyang Pictures
seems to be in trouble.

I'll pick up the picture.
I want to try my hand at producing.

Jo Myongguk is selling to you?

He won't want to.

But with you involved,
it's not impossible.

I know what you're up to,
so why not?

It should be fun.

How long has it been?

Since that Yankee lady ripped me off.

Five years at least.

It hasn't changed a bit.

You usually need a reason to change.

But what are we doing here?

I'll let Kitae tell you himself.

What did he do now?

That's enough out of you.

Oh, it's Kitae.

Thanks for making the trip.

- You didn't get car sick?
- Nope.

What's going on?

Spit it out.
This mystery stuff is killing me.

I have a gift for Your Ladyship.

A gift?

Don't you remember? I told you in the
restaurant I'd have a present for you.

So what is it?
Quit stalling and spit it out.

Ugh, you're as impatient
as your mother.

All right,
I'll tell you what your gift is.

Your gift is...

The Sunyang Theater.

Your son presents to you the Sunyang.

You're what now?
How exactly?

To help ease your suffering...

I took back the Sunyang from
Jo Myongguk and Jang Cholhwan.

Are you serious?

You got the Sunyang back?

The Sunyang Theater is ours.

Kitae!

That's my boy, that's my boy.

Now your poor father can rest easy.

Well done.

You're a good son.

Look it over.

Oh, look, look.
Look at this.

Oh, dear...oh dear...

Oh, my...

Kitae...
Incredible, just incredible.

- Happy?
- Of course!

Take a seat.

What for?

What good is owning a theater
if you can't watch movies?

A special showing, just for the family.

Mother and Father's favorite,
the masterpiece...

"The Groom."

- Dongchol, ready?
- Ready.

Let's get started.

- Please.
- Mm.

Go on.

It was the best show I've ever seen.

Kim Chuja and Ha Chunhwa's accident.
They're all right?

Yes, sir, nothing to worry about.

Excellent.
Keep it up through the full run.

Yes, Father.

Let go of me! It's my theater!
This is my place! I built it!

Sir, your appointment with Mr. Han.

Once this is cleared up,
I'm buying it back.

Let the new owners know.

Yes, sir.

Let's go.

What are you doing here?

What's it to you what I do
in my own place?

- How did this happen?
- I don't know...

Judging from how cheaply
I got the theater...

I'd say Taeyang Pictures
is in serious trouble.

Not that I mind under-market-value.

What are you up to?

Up to?
Watch your mouth.

I just got back what's mine.

And I bought it, fair and square.

All that's left is getting back all
the other things you took from me.

There was a time I foolishly thought
killing you was the best revenge.

But I've found something
much more terrifying than death.

Curious?

About what's more terrifying?

You...

I'll kill you first.

I'll kill you!

- Sir!
- Hands off! Let go!

Temper, temper, better go easy.

This is just the beginning.

Kang Kitae!

Now don't take this the wrong way.

Word about my Pachinko business
is spreading fast.

The offers to invest with me
are pouring in.

If you can't afford it,
I'll have to move forward without you.

You pushing me out,
is that it?

Would I do that?

I'm just saying that it's been a while
and I haven't heard from you.

You'll get the money
so you can forget the others.

With your protections,
you're 100 times better.

There's no need to wait any longer.
Let's move forward.

Go get my $2 million
from Jo Myongguk.

There may be a problem there.

Problem?
How do you mean?

He's sold the Sunyang Theater
and the Uijangbu.

And the rights to his latest film
are up for sale.

What?

There's no question his company
is in serious trouble.

How did it happen? How did Kitae
get a hold of the Sunyang?

I'm sorry.
I didn't know.

Worthless..!
What kind of excuse is that?

Not Kitae. We have to get it back,
whatever it takes.

I'll find a way, sir.

Taeyang Pictures.

Yes. One moment.

Chairman Jang.

Yes. Jo Myongguk.

Yes, I'm on my way.
Right.

Chairman Jang?

You'll have to come with us.

Help him.

What?
What is this?

Come along quietly.

Let's not make a scene.

I see. Keep it up.

It's me.
Jang has Jo Myongguk.

They can't turn back now.

Oh yes. Yes.

Exactly as you planned it.

Yes. Neither Myongguk nor Jang
know where the money is yet.

When they do,
that's when things will get exciting.

As Xun Yu said in
Romance of the Three Kingdoms...

"Let the tigers fight
and eat each other."

You are as wise as Xun Yu.

This is just the beginning.

When Myongguk has no hope left,
that's when it ends.

Mr. Jang...Why?
Why treat me this way?

You don't know?

You've been lying to me,
haven't you?

Word is you're selling your film rights
and theaters in a hurry.

Now why is that?

Wait, th-that's...

Reduced to selling the Sunyang.

You must be in trouble.

Why is that, I wonder?

Did you spend my money?

No. Never.

So much for giving you a chance.

I'll have to beat it out of you.

Take this! And this!

Sit him down.

Hey.... Hey...

Hey.

Speak up.
Where's my money?

The truth is...

I used it to invest
in a joint Hollywood production.

You don't say?

You stole from me?
From ME?

From me? Huh?

From ME?

Mr. Jang, I was wrong.
Please...

Spare me.

Once I sign with Run Run Shaw,
once the movie is a hit...

you'll make it all back and more.

Think of it as an investment.
Forgive me.

Then you should have
fessed up from the start.

Why lie to me?
Why steal from me?

Please, it won't be a problem,
I'll make it good.

I was wrong.
Forgive me, please.

You're pathetic.
That's your problem.

I need my money now.

I give you two days.

After that, you're dead.

I'll say it again, this is no salon
or brothel, it's exclusive.

No "hee-hee" and "oh-you".

You are to be refined, cultured.

More important is what
you'll really be doing.

When you sit with guests,
listen closely to their conversation.

Remember what's said
and report it to me.

Don't intrude,
don't enter the conversation.

Just listen quietly
and speak when spoken to.

Ma'am.

Ready for the opening?

Yes.
We're training the girls now.

How are things going
with Jang Cholhwan?

He thinks of us as partners.

The bar, the opening...
he's been a lot of help.

It's vital that you gain his trust.

We can end it at anytime
on our terms.

I understand.

By the way, Myonghi
is still smitten with Suhyok.

She'd be deeply hurt
if she knew how you felt about him.

She won't listen to me.
It's got me worried.

I could use your help.

The heart wants what the heart wants.

But I'll see if I can interest her
in someone else.

Subong.
Change your repertoire tonight.

The manager says, "Does it have to be
the same songs EVERY night?"

Yes, sir.

- Hyebin, you're on next.
- Okay.

Right. Places.

- Fighting.
- Break a leg.

What brings you here?

Just, you know, passing by.

You've been doing that a lot lately.

Coming to see Hyebin?

You kidding?
I'm just hanging out is all.

I know, it's obvious.

But you know
she's got a guy, right?

A guy? Who?

Choi Songwon.

Everyone knows they can't live
without each other.

Except you, that is.

Oh, yeah?
Who are YOU?

Go home, boy.

You! Get him!

- Hello!
- Hee-hee!

What brings you here?

Just, you know, passing by.

We're getting a lot of that lately.

Have you seen Hyebin?

She left.

Huh? She told me
to meet her here.

He's messing with my Hyebin?

It looked mutual from
where I'm sitting.

Don't be ridiculous.
She only has eyes for me.

I say die, she dies, bam,
she's an innocent.

Shouldn't you go to a doctor?

It's nothing, forget about it.

Thank you, Mr. Jo.

I keep owing you,
like it's fate or something.

Yeah?

I had the same thought.

There's fate and there's fate,
but saving my life, now that's fate.

You think?

I've always wanted to meet
a real man that can take care of me.

It's been my luck to end up
taking care of the guy.

But meeting you,
I'm thinking my luck has changed.

And Choe Songwon?

Director Choi?

How shall I put it?

He's the luck I was talking about.

Songwon.

I heard some drunks were bugging you.

You okay?

Yes.

Mr. Jo here saved me.

Uh-huh.
Thanks, pal.

I owe you a drink
for looking after MY girl.

Let's go, Hyebin.

Why owe him?

I'll buy him a drink.
You can go.

What's that?

Are you deaf?

I heard the lady say you can go.

- Right?
- Right.

You want a drink, park it over there.

Otherwise, people are watching,
so beat it.

Call when you're done.

Little...

Right, and where's the studio?

I see. I will.
Okay.

You know another studio is finishing
Tale of Sukhyang?

Uh-huh.

There's a meeting with the producer.
You should meet him.

Where's the studio?

No clue. They didn't say.
We'll find out, they said.

It doesn't matter,
so long as Songwon is directing.

You go for me.

How can I?
He's the producer, you have to go.

They said it would be short.

You bought the Sunyang Theater?

It was the best way
I could think of to celebrate

acquiring the rights to Tale of Sukhyang.

And filled with meaning.

Your mother must be so happy.

Jo Myongguk is in a terrible fix.

Once we sign with Run Run Shaw,
you can take a breather.

I suppose.

I knew you had talent
but even I'm surprised at this.

I'm just lucky to have you on my side.

No Sangtaek at Seven Stars
said the same thing.

Having Kitae as an enemy,
now that's scary.

But you're scariest of all to Jo Myongguk,
Jang Cholhwan and Cha Suhyok.

They're getting what's coming to ‘em.

When will Mihyon be back?

Her plane landed.
She'll be here soon.

Speak of the devil.
We were just talking about you.

How did it go?

Congratulations.

Run Run Shaw is signing with Universal.

Really?

His seal is on the contract.

Mihyon.

You did it. This is all your doing.
Thank you.

Run Run Shaw said to say hello.

Thanks to you,
we have a joint production.

Thank you.

Mr. Yun, are you serious?

After all the help
I've given you in the past?

Where's your loyalty, answer me...

Mr. Yun...Hello!

- Sir.
- What now?

Spit it out.

Run Run Shaw signed with Universal.

What?
What are you talking about?

What about our
joint production contract?

Well...
they say they never heard of it.

Then who were those guys?

Who took my money?

It appears we were taken.

What?

Jonghye.

What are you doing here?

Are you here to meet
the new producer?

Yes. You?

Uh-huh.
You know what studio it is?

I haven't heard.

Making me show up, no explanation.

We'll see about this.

Selling off the rights
with just 3 more scenes to shoot...

Taeyang Pictures must need cash bad.

I wonder what that means
for your joint production.

I haven't heard anything.
It can't be that bad.

I'm told he transferred
the investment funds.

That's good at least.
