All language subtitles for Lights and Shadows E44

So she went to Cha Suhyok
and begged for your life.

He said he would, on the condition
that she forget you and be with him.

He led her to believe he saved your life.

The past 4 years, their relationship
has been more like business.

[Episode 44]

The Kangnam mob running
New Seoul tried to kill him.

What? How is he?

He opened up a can of Kitae.
Jonghye got cut.

They went too far.
This has to be dealt with.

How?

An eye for an eye,
that's how things are in the mob.

They have to be killed.

He just got out of the College.
Won't revenge make things worse?

Oh, pretty.

If you want to sing here,
you have to be friendly.

I'm famous all over Korea.
Friendly, are you kidding?

I said if you want, where do you get off?

You want some?

You're no thug.

Since when does organized crime
slap women around?

If you want to talk, talk to me.

Got a death wish?

I've been in the biz since dirt.

If a punk like you could do it,
I'd already be dead.

Well?

- Take care of him.
- Sir.

Back up, go on.

Show me what you got!

Don't try to stop me! Don't stop me!

Come get some!

Enough!

Taesu!

You are so dead.

What?

You washed your hands of it.

So I did.

Then why are you brawling?

I don't fight to take from others.

I fight to protect my own.

That's not brawling.

A brawl's a brawl.

I don't like it.

Keep it up and we're through.

Then we're through.

Huh? Are you serious?

Oh, yes, very.

Jo Taesu fights when he has to.

Otherwise I wouldn't be me.

Dirty trick, being so cool, I swear.

Now what? So cool...

What?
How much did you tell him?

Everything.

Meeting with Suhyok to save his life,
Suhyok's conditions, everything.

How could you?

How could I not? Kitae saw Suhyok
coming here to see you.

How is he?

Too shocked to speak, mostly.

Last time I said it in jest.

This time I'm in earnest.

Go ahead.

We have an ugly history...

but what matters is survival.

It's like they say, survival is victory.

So I'll ask you again.
Want to join forces?

On one condition.

Ah... Of course, go on.

Suhyok.

You've been through a lot.
You, too.

Not at all.
Thank you for using me.

I should have stopped it.
I'm sorry.

I managed to survive.

Thanks for giving me a chance to get
back at Kang Kitae at Jang Cholhwan.

Jang doesn't know you're out yet.

Oh?
Then I should pay my respects.

No.

We need to step back, bide our time.

All right. Whatever you say,
just let me know.

Prosecutor Ahn called.
Director Jeong is looking for you.

Thank you.

You'll have your chance.
Don't be impatient.

All right. You go on.

Now we're in a fight to the death.

He needs $15 million
in funding right away.

The Director was quite insistent.

Isn't the easiest way to hit the
corporations up for funding?

Yun Jaeyun deals with that.

If we press them, they'll kick back.

There's no other way.

We have to wrap up
the Japan negotiations.

Call Kim Chaeuk and set up a meeting.

All right.

We need to wrap this up quickly.

I see National Security
needs cash in a hurry.

How do you know that?

In my business, I have to know.

I don't like laying my cards
on the table...

but the truth is, we're in a hurry.

We need your help.

Perfect timing.

Kim Pungil arrived from Japan today.

We'll see him together and wrap this up.

Does he have any connections here?

Oh, I don't know much myself.

I'm really just a glorified broker.

You're too modest.

It is what it is.
The old habit of living hand-to-mouth.

Oh, here he is.

Cha Suhyok with National Security
and Prosecutor Ahn.

I've heard about you.

Well?
Say hello.

I think of him as a son.

My years in Japan have left me
a little naive about Korea.

He'll be acting in my behalf.
I trust you understand.

Shall we?

The negotiations have been going well.

All that remains is your final decision.

I'm not what you'd call well-educated.

What money I've made,
I've made by sticking to one principle.

When I deal with a man,
whatever our losses,

whatever threats the Yakuza makes...

he protects me to the end.

And I do the same for him.

There's a lot of money in this,
which means a lot of danger.

Whatever happens,
we have to protect each other.

He's got a good eye.
"Come on, it's a done deal," he says.

It appears we can do business together.

Just as the chairman says.

I trust you won't let old grievances
get in the way of business.

I can't work with him.
Forget it.

Don't let emotions get the best of you.

The Director said to get the money,
that's all that matters.

Perhaps you'd like someplace
more private?

It's fine.

You always overreact
when it comes to Kitae.

Now's the time to finish this.
Grin and bear it.

That Cha Suhyok is no ordinary guy.

He's not someone to trifle with.

I like your demeanor better.
You'll win this.

How's Jo Taesu?

Good.
He's eager to see you.

- Oh.
- Sir.

Oh, doing all right?

Yes.
You keep getting younger.

You always know what to say.
You keep getting prettier.

- Thank you.
- Sit.

Cha Suhyok and Mr. Ahn are in my bar.

You two working together has them
pretty worked up.

It would. But with their need for political
funds, they'll have to deal with me.

If I can exploit his anxiety,
I can call all the shots.

So I'll ask you again.
Want to join forces?

On one condition.

Ah... Of course, go on.

Whatever I do with Cha Suhyok
and Jo Myongguk, stay out of it.

Naturally.

They're my enemies now.

When I strike them, it could hurt you,
as well.

The three of you have a history, so what
hurts them is bound to affect you.

You should accept that.

Yes.

It's Yu Chaeyong.

Kang Kitae and Kim Pungil from
Japan met with Cha Suhyok.

I see.

I accept your condition.

I no longer have political ambitions.

I want money, that's all.

And for that, I'll accept the risk.

Suhyok and Myongguk are your targets.
It's nothing to me.

And if sparks fly my way, well,
forewarned is forearmed.

In exchange for meeting my condition,
I'll arrange a meeting with Kim Pungil.

I see we're on the same page.

That's what I want above all else.

Ugh.
At least he didn't get your face.

The way I see it, nothing good comes
from being around Kang Kitae.

In a word, you're jinxed.

Why bring that up now?

What else is more important?

Whatever two people think of each other,
a jinx is a jinx.

I need to rest, if you don't mind.

Jonghye, trouble.

What now?

I reporter is sniffing around.

He's outside pestering the doctors
and nurses.

What?

Won't his lies make it worse?

Where is he?

By the emergency stairs near the lobby.

Whatever happens, if he finds the room,
you can't let him in.

Okay.

Mr. Han.

Remember me? Yang Taesong
with Taeyang Pictures.

We've had a few drinks now and then.

Ah, ah, right.

What brings you here?

Ah, you know, visiting a friend.
You?

If I'm lucky, an exclusive.

About what?

You know Lee Jonghye?

Of course.
Who hasn't heard of Lee Jonghye?

What about her?

She got cut and she's here somewhere.

Something to do with
that jailbird scumbag

...Kang Kitae with Bitnara Productions.

Not to mention her torrid romance
with a top National Security official.

Some exclusive, huh?

So what are you up to?
We haven't seen you around much.

Oh, you know...

Listen, Mr. Han, how about
leaving this story alone?

You'll be taken care of,
you won't be sorry.

- Why?
- Why what?

The fact is, Lee Jonghye
is like a sister to me.

And I'm her manager.

- Ugh, whatever.
- Whatever what?

Let's go somewhere and talk it over.

- Forget it.
- Mr. Han, Mr. Han!

What? Han Chisu?

That's the sleaze that took a kickback
from Myongguk to set up Kitae.

But people believe his lies.

I tried to stop him.
He just scampered off.

How much does he know?

That she got cut by the Kangnam mob.

And she's mixed up with
you and Cha Suhyok.

Pretty much everything.

We've got to stop him.

I figure, if we try to buy him off,
he'll just get huffy.

Reporters are vain.
It will just make it worse.

All right.
I'll stop him somehow.

All our singers have signed
with Seven Stars.

No Sangtaek is just the front.
Kang Kitae is behind it.

He's running the Victoria now
and trying to acquire the New Seoul.

What will you do?

Nothing for now.

Keep an eye on them and let me know
if anything happens.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Jo. It's been too long.

Oh, Mr. Han, what brings you here?

I have some information
that might interest you.

Sit, please.

What is it?

About Lee Jonghye and Kang Kitae.

Kang Kitae?

He's already sniffing around
you and Jonghye.

I stopped him for now, but he's a reporter,
so he's a lying little twit.

I'll deal with him, not to worry.

Oh, and another thing.

I need a favor.

Go on.

I need money to get anything done.

As you know, I lost everything
to Jang Cholhwan.

I'm flat broke.

Kang Kitae took over all my interests
while I was in the College.

If I don't act fast the damage
will be irreversible.

I need your help.

I won't get anything for my
Kangnam properties.

Can you take care of it?

All right.
I'll deal with it, just be patient.

Thank you.

Help me get through this
and I'll do anything you ask.

Who are you?

Han Chisu with True Story.

What do you want?

Sorry to barge in like this,
but I demand an interview.

As you can see, I'm in no condition.
You'll have to leave.

I'm working on a story right now.

If you don't cooperate it
will go bad for you.

Cooperate and it will be
a beautiful love story.

If not, a trashy tale of mobs,
molls and mayhem.

Are you threatening me?

Threatening? I'm just asking
for your cooperation.

I have nothing to say.
Leave.

If you do that, I'll be forced to make it up.
And you wouldn't like that.

Get out.

What are you doing?
Out.

This is an interesting development.
Hello, Kang Kitae.

Get out if you want to keep breathing.

Ticking me off won't help you.

You little...

Kitae, please.

Get out.

I can see you're not thinking straight.

When you are, call me.

We might be able to help each other.

Han Chisu?

Who are...?

You'll have to come with us.

Who are you?
Identify yourselves.

National Security, Special Branch.

Now come quietly.

Wait.
What are the charges?

He wrote that story about us years ago.

I know.

He can be a pain.
He has to be handled delicately.

I'll take care of it, don't worry.

How's the cut?

Better.
I'll be leaving soon.

You spoke with Gyongsuk?

Don't think my relationship with Suhyok
has anything to do with you.

It was my decision.

Do you love him?

I owe him a lot.

If what you owe him has to do with me,
I'm responsible.

End it now.

It has... nothing to do with you.

Like I said, it was my decision,
my responsibility.

You wouldn't be stuck with him
if not for me.

You said you want me to find someone,
to be happy?

So do I.

What are you writing
about Lee Jonghye?

There must be a misunderstanding.

I just wanted money.
I'm not writing anything.

Believe me.

You thought you could blackmail her?

Yes. That was all.

R-really.

This is for threatening Lee Jonghye.

Have mercy... mercy...

I'll tell you what you're going to write.

Understand me.
You will write exactly what I tell you.

Yes, anything you say, sir.

Welcome.

I appreciate you making time
in your schedule.

No, no, not at all. Please.

This way.

I've heard of your great success in Japan.

It's an honor to finally meet you.

I've heard a lot about you, too.

I appreciate you helping
my boy Kitae here.

Not at all.
He's helping me, I assure you.

If you kindly assist me,
I'll do all I can to get you repatriated.

I leave the business here to Kitae.

Anything you want, discuss it with him.

Thank you for setting up this meeting.

Jang Cholhwan never changes.

You know him?

Of course.

After the coup, my father had sold
his Japanese interests

...and was moving back here.

Who do you think robbed his assets and
sent him back to Japan? Jang Cholhwan.

The shock killed my father.

That's why I'm leaving
everything up to you.

Jang Cholhwan must be punished.

He should be cursed by the heavens.

But if they won't do it, you have to.

Understood?

Yes, sir.

What? What guest?

He helped me when I was in Japan.

Oh, in that case, you can hardly
bring him to this old shack.

Take him someplace nice...

Some soybean paste stew
and radish kimchi will be fine.

Don't make a fuss, just whip it up.
See you soon.

Wait, wait, wait!

That little...

We've got to go to the market.
Come on.

Yes'm.

I'll say it again.

The gentlemen coming here can change
Bitnara and Seven Stars' future.

So no mistakes, got that?

Treat him with courtesy, with respect.

Don't go overboard.

Hyebin, no hee-hee routine, see?

When have I ever had
a hee-hee routine?

You're going overboard
with the anti-overboard.

Don't be nervous.
Just be natural, all right?

Okay.

- Is he here?
- Yes, on the way.

Got it?

We just acquired this nightclub.

What's a nightclub?

Drinking, dancing, that sort of thing.

All this space for that?

Our little company family.

Shin Jonggu, sir.

No Sangtaek with Seven Stars.

Hello.
Take care of my boy.

Oh, now, sir, we're the ones
that need him to look after us.

And you, too, sir.

Here we have our players.

Hello.

Nice, very nice.

Sir, with your permission,
we've prepared a little show for you.

We understand you like
Nam Jin's "Heartsick."

Great song, "Heartsick."

You and me

if not for the sea

this separation

would never be

see the ferry

leaving for the sea

heartsick, heartsick

felt but never seen

Mother!

Is he here?

No, I came ahead.
Everything ready?

What little I could.
Just the same old home-cookin'.

Good.

So, this guy, he helped Kitae
in Japan or something?

Yes.
He thinks of Kitae as a son.

What? A son?

He's my son, who does he think he is?
Silly old fart.

No, that's not it.
Like a son, see, "like".

What's he do?

He's the richest Korean ex-pat in Japan.

One of the richest men in the country.

You should have told me.

A rich man has refined tastes.
Kitae said not to make a fuss.

No, I saw him, he's a real
old-fashioned type.

Not picky at all, trust me.

But still...

Here we are.

My mother.

Forgive this intrusion.

Not at all. I'm just sorry
we have so little to offer.

Shall we?

Yes, shall we?

Your mother run a restaurant?

- Yes.
- A duck house. Very popular.

My mother had a little place.

A bulgogi place while my father
was off in the Hokkaido mines.

It's been so long since I've seen
good old Korean dishes.

Reminds me of my mother.

- Sir, a drink.
- Thanks.

- Hai.
- Hai.

Great.

- Here.
- Sir.

- Great.
- Oh, yeah.

It wasn't much.
I hope he wasn't disappointed.

He ate every bite, relax.

Sundok, get us some soju.

‘kay.

He thinks of you as a son?

Yes.

He's not your father, of course,
but he's a decent sort.

I've learned a lot from him.
He's a mentor, in a way.

And rich?

Maybe you'll get some cake later on?

Your Ladyship, there is no free ride.

I'm not after any cake,
so you shouldn't be, either.

Yeah, yeah, Mr. Morals.

I would have taken you to a hotel.

No.
I like being here with you.

Kitae.

Yes, sir.

Punishing Jang and Suhyok
is all well and good.

But don't waste your life on it.

The best revenge is being happy.

Remember that.

I will.

How's Lee Jonghye?

She was released today.

But I think we should delay shooting.

And the premiere as well.

Can we stand another postponement?

I'm fine, but it's the gossip about
Jonghye that I'm worried about.

Gossip?

It's all over the industry.

How she ended up that way
cause of Kitae.

What does what happened
have to do with Kitae?

You really don't know?

She got cut by some mob guy
trying to save Kitae.

You think people can leave it at that?

The rumors are flying, I can tell you.

If we don't control them
it will hurt the next project.

Look into it and stop
whatever needs stopping.

All right.

I see.
Let me know if you learn anything.

Well?
Did he see the reporter?

He disappeared after he left your room.

Taesong and Mr. Shin when to the
magazine office but he wasn't there.

Who is it?

It's me.

Suhyok.

You needed more rest.

The reporters wouldn't leave me be.

Like Han Chisu?

How did you know?

There won't be a story about you,
don't worry.

It's nothing to me which projects
you choose.

But I hope you'll reconsider
this one with Kang Kitae.

Not for any selfish reasons.

But I worry what people will say.

That's my problem, so don't worry.

What?

And if something goes wrong,
what then?

I told you not to get emotional.

I'm very calm.

We're desperate for political funding.

In our position, we can't help
but lose in negotiations with Kitae.

If we're forced to work with him, I have
to find a way to regain the initiative.

I've got it all worked out, wait and see.

I see what you're saying,
but Kitae is bad news for you.

I worry you're losing it.

If this doesn't work out,
I'll be hurt, too, so be careful.

- Please don't, Mr. Jo.
- Out of the way!

I'm sorry, I tried to stop him...

- It's okay. You can go.
- All right.

I knew you were here.
Figured I'd say hello.

The man I knew had
a long stretch yet here you are.

Suhyok get you out?

Yes.

Suhyok is loyal.

Then you should stick close
to the loyal one.

Why seek me out?

I just told you.
To say hello.

You needn't have bothered.
Get out!

Watch your mouth.

I'm not going to let you
push me around anymore.

What?

You abandoned me to work
with Kang Kitae?

Are you insane?

What's it to you who I work with?

You get all my attention until
I have my revenge, by my own hands.

I'm just worried Kitae
will get to you first.

Please, please, keep care of yourself.

Forget about me.
Watch out for yourself.

Get me?

Moron!

Scum...

What's this?

The fabrics on the list.

We use quality for tailoring.

Not ready-to-wear brands.

You know who we're making these for?

Soon-to-be first lady.

Miss Kang.

Have you heard?

What?

There's an article about your brother.

From what people say on the phone,
it's not good news.

Have you read it?

Huh? Well, um... no.

Go out and get a copy of True Story.
Scoot.

It's Myonghi.

Have you heard there's
a negative article out on Kitae?

Yes, I saw it.

No, we'll wait for now.

This will shake Kitae up.

Anything you can do, now's the time.

There's a problem with
the acquisition of New Seoul?

Nothing we can't handle.
I don't anticipate any more problems.

We've decided to postpone the premiere.

At least until Lee Jonghye
is feeling better.

There's no rush.
Take your time.

Yes.

Oh, Mr. Kang is right here, why?

What?

I see.

Mr. Shin.
He needs you at the office.

Why?

Another negative article about Mr. Kang.

Mr. Pak, come on now.

It's all made up, you know newspapers.

All made up about the
New Seoul acquisition.

Yeah! Don't worry.

What now?

That sleaze Han Chisu dropped a bomb.

The jailbreak, skipping the country,
the College, everything.

He researches Jonghye, Suhyok,
and who does he write about?

You, that's who.

You can bet Cha Suhyok is behind this.

He's negotiating with Kitae.
Would he risk it?

If not him then Jo Myongguk.

If it's not one of them, I'll lop off a finger.

Mr. Kang and Jo Taesu worked
with the Yakuza?

Don't be stupid.

Didn't you read it? The New Seoul
purchase comes from Yakuza money.

So that nice old gentleman was Yakuza?

Yep.

Does that make sense to you?
That's just stupid.

But it's in print.

- Hello.
- Mm.

Mr. No, is it true that Mr. Kang and
Mr. Jo are mixed up with the Yakuza?

Of course not, it's a reporter.
Take your places.

Yes, sir.

You, too.

It's me.
We've got to squelch this.

They're saying Kitae and Taesu
work with the Yakuza.

Sure, it will spread like wildfire,
you know how people are.

Get on it.

Like Han Chisu?

How did you know?

There won't be a story about you,
don't worry.

Mr. Son, it's Lee Jonghye.

Are you free right now?

You find this Han scum?

Yes, sir.

Get him.

No rough stuff, nice and quiet.

Sir.

This article can have dire ramifications.

You've got to deal with it immediately.

I'll fix it, don't worry.

This reporter is famous for his filth.
It won't be easy to fix.

When dealing with filth,
you need a filthy fix.

Jo Taesu called.
He's at the Victoria.

Okay. So long.

Well?

"I'll fix it, don't worry."

The water is spilled, what's to fix?

Rumors feed on themselves.

You recognize me?

Yes or no?

Y-yes.

Don't make me ask twice.

I'll ask once, if I don't like the answer,

you'll see what my
"organized crime ties" can do.

Who told you to write that story?

No one.
I got it from my research.

Right, your research connected
Mr. Jo to the Yakuza?

Who gave you the story?

Enough.

I'm not one for second chances.

One last time.

Who told you to write the story?

Take him out and bury him.

W-wait.

Cha Suhyok with National Security.

Deal with him.

No, wait, Mr. Jo, I didn't do anything.
I just followed orders. Mr. Jo!

Well?

Cha Suhyok was behind it all.
