[Episode 45]

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.

The slot machines papers.

Look them over and if there's
no problems we're in business.

Of course.

No one would have foreseen you
and Kang Kitae working together.

Too true. Or imagined
I'd be working with you.

Now that we're in business,
we can clear up some old bitterness.

Old bitterness?

Four years ago when you were removed
from the Blue House and imprisoned.

That was my doing.
And Cha Suhyok's.

Did you say Cha Suhyok?

You trusted him with everything...

but he was just biding his time.

He was the one that gave me
the goods on you.

And the one that convinced
General Jeong

...to remove you from
the Club of One Light.

You'll stand by this?

I won't forgive any more foolishness.

I told you. Now that we're in business
I want to let go of all the old bitterness.

What good would lying do me now?

Suhyok!

Yes.

It's me.

Well?

Judging by his expression
he's out for Suhyok's blood.

Thank you.

It's Kitae.
Let's talk.

These conditions are acceptable.

Then let's wrap it up.

Above all else, business
is based on trust.

There's too much old bitterness
for us to work together.

How do you mean?

You really have to ask?

You lied to me, betrayed me.

I can't partner with you.

We contacted you because
of your political influence.

Jang Cholhwan has the same power.

You stuck me in the College,
Jang got me out.

You protected Myongguk,
Jang stuck him in the College.

I'm thinking he's the partner for me.

What are you saying?

Jang has no power, he's finished.

Finished?

True, I was done with power.

Thanks to you now
I'll have to take it back.

Suhyok! How..?

How dare you betray me?

What's this about?

I know how you stabbed me
in the back four years ago.

How you sent me to prison, everything.

Cha Suhyok, remember this.

I'll be dogging your steps from now on.

Until your last breath, you hear me,
you little twit?

I was there that day.

One of the thugs cut me and
I was rushed to the hospital.

Can I use your real name in the article?

It doesn't matter.

I want to clear up any
misunderstandings once and for all.

Saying Kang Kitae is involved
with the mob is absurd, it's a lie.

This incident hurts him
more than anyone else.

I only hope this doesn't interfere
with our upcoming film project.

The scandal rags ran a story
on you and Kitae four years ago.

Working with him again could lead
to some nasty rumors.

I can live with that.

So, um, at least try to be objective.

I have one last question.

There are rumors of you
and a man highly placed

...in the National Security Commission.

Any comment?

Vicious gossip.
There's nothing in it.

Yes.

- It's me.
- What?

- We need to talk. Now.
- Why?

- Not on the phone.
- Fine. On my way.

What now?

It's been a rough day.
Can't it wait?

No.
It has to be now.

We're through.

We're what?

Through.

Where did this come from?

You were talking about marriage.

Or is there no need now that
Kitae has been released?

This has nothing to do with him.

We're through because I don't know
what's the truth or a lie with you.

You frighten me.

Fair enough.
I frighten myself.

But right now I'm tired and worn.

Things are bad enough without
your drama, so let's leave it.

You had a trying time in the hospital.
Rest, clear your schedule.

We'll talk about this later.

Suhyok.

What did he say?

He didn't take me seriously.

He can't face it.
Or hopes you don't mean it.

You know I won't change my mind,
whatever he tries.

I know.

So you're saying you made it so Jang
and Suhyok are fighting?

Yes. Jang knows Suhyok
betrayed him and he's furious.

I told Suhyok I can't work with him.

If things work out with us and Jang...

Suhyok won't stand for it.

That would be nice.

Victory is sweetest when you don't have
to bloody your hands.

But things don't always
go the way you want.

If you're using your head, Jang
and Suhyok are using theirs.

Yes. I understand.

I know you do.
I'll leave you to it.

When are you leaving?

When everything's set.

I told Taesong to find me a place.

I'll get you one.

I won't be working
with Cha Suhyok anymore.

It's in your hands now.
I'm leaving it to you.

I'll do all I can to earn your trust in me.

I've arranged to see the director of the
National Security Commission.

Cha Suhyok won't stand for it.
What are your plans?

Don't worry about him.

He thinks he has the director's ear,
but that won't last long.

Ah, when I've seen this through,

I suppose you've considered
my commission?

Of course. Kim Punggil
and I already talked about it.

I like your style.

We should have been
working together long go.

All that time wasted fighting.

Such a shame.

It's not too late.

Right, right. After this, if there's
anything else I can help you with,

just say the word.

What?
Jang Cholhwan knows?

How much?

Everything.

My betraying him to Director Kim,

my hurting his association
with the Club of One Light.

Kitae did it to push me out
and work directly with Jang.

What now?
You going to just leave it?

What about the political funding?

We have no choice but
to hit up the large corporations.

Yun with National Security handles that.

This is my future.
I can't be bothered with Yun.

Find a corporation with deep pockets.

All right.

Lovely, the girl of my dreams

She taught me what love is

There in my dreams, my heart...

Jo Myongguk thought these guys
didn't have the chops?

What made you decide to rope them in?

You've got an eye for talent, you do.

They got the chops.

But I don't know about the looks.

Like Duets' Oh Seunggeun
or the Onions' Lee Seungyon,

we just need one good looking one.

Personality is king these days.

If you look good, that's all that matters.

Something on your mind?

No.

C'mon, I can tell, "No," he says.

Well? Spit it out.

Have you heard about Sunae?

What about her?

Never mind.
You're better off.

What?

Ho Ildo took her to the cleaners.

He ripped her off.

What?

It's too late, if she got conned or not,
it's not your business.

Go easy.

Argh, would it kill her
to meet a good guy?

Why she have to hook up
with trash and get ripped off?

What choice did she have?
She's no spring chicken.

Yeah, it's all my fault.
I made her this way.

- No calls?
- None.

Sunae?

Drunk.

Sunae.

Chaeyong.

Sit. Have a drink.

You've had enough.

No, I'm good.
Sit, sit.

Have a drink. Cheers.

I know what you're thinking,
"Why does the old girl live like this?"

Am I right?

Not at all.

You'll make more money. Now you
know not to date scum like that.

Forget it.

You don't get it.

I miss the money, sure,
and I hate that bum.

But Chaeyong, you know what
I hate worse?

Ending up like this.

My youth, my money, my time,
all wasted on Shin Jonggu.

Now I'm old, old and pathetic.

It's all so embarrassing.

What now?

No Shin?

No.
Is something wrong with him?

Ho Ildo took all Sunae's money.

I knew this would happen the day
she took up with that bum.

What did he take her for?

Everything she had.

But what matters now is
how Shin's handling it.

He blames himself for what happened.

Why would he do that?

She made her choice.

Now's not the time for blame.
We've got to help Shin.

How?

First we find Ho Ildo
and bet the cash back.

Then we clear the road for Shin
and Sunae to get back together.

You follow?

Why should we?

Hello.

Hyebin?

Didn't you know?
She had a booking in Pusan.

When's she get back?

Three-four days, maybe.

Got it. Thanks.

Psst!

Me?

Yeah.
Don't you remember me, baby?

Five years ago?

At the Pear Palace, with Manbong...

I got nothin'.

You know Manbong?

Yun Manbong?

Yeah.
I'm Manbong's second cousin, Yun Jihye.

You said if I made it to Seoul,
you'd make me a singer.

I did?

Yeah.
I made my debut two years ago.

I've had two hits.
You really don't know me?

He wouldn't. He wasn't in Korea
when you made it big.

She signed with Seven Stars.
She's really good.

- Jihye, you're on next. Places.
- Okay.

Baby, wait here, okay?
I'll be right back.

You're leaving

Leaving me

Leaving joy, leaving pain,
leaving everything

Leaving on a ferry, never to return

Leaving me, leaving in the mist

Who are you?

Don't you know?

Um, sure, sure.

Come with me.
Don't make a scene, nice and easy.

What's this about?

I think you can guess.

C'mon, sleazebag.

No, wait.

You go on home, sweetness.

I'll be right there.

No. He won't be right there.
Don't wait.

- C'mon.
- No, wait...

Move!

No way!

Ouch! Mommy!

Rat bast-- Trying to run?

How's this? And this?

Oopsies!

You still don't remember me?

I remember.

Hee-hee!
I'm so glad to see you.

You're all I've thought about.

Let's get out of here.

There's so much I want to tell you.

Cry-baby.

I don't feel like drinking, forget it.

If I drink, it won't be pretty.

What are you up to?

You can't tell?
We got this bum for you.

What is it with you?

You, beat it.

We're not through with him yet.

Go on, beat it.

Why did you do that?

Not too embarrassing. Don't you see
how bad this makes me look?

Gimme a drink.

I told you.

He's not to blame, I am.

I drove Sunae into his arms.

I hear you, but you can't
let him off scott-free.

We meant to get Sunae's money
from him, but no luck.

Why?

He lost it all gambling.

I appreciate the thought, but stay out
of me and Sunae's business, okay?

What was that?

Well, we tried, that's enough for me.

That's that. Right.
Drinks are on me.

My detective friend says it won't be easy
getting your money back.

Why?

He lost it gambling.

I knew it, that bum.

If you file charges,
they can put him away.

Forget it.

He'll never change, prison or no prison.

What do you want?

Long time.

You have a minute?

Not for you.

Just a minute.

Here.

What's this?

I got the money Ho Ildo stole from you.

You have nothing to say to me,
but I have something to say to you.

Forget bums like Ho Ildo.

Find yourself a good man, okay?

A man who appreciates you, okay?

I'll go.

Wait.

Where did you get this?

I told you.
I got it off of Ho Ildo.

He blew all my money gambling.

Take it back.

Just take it.

Why should I?

I never gave you anything.

Think of it as alimony.

I don't mean anything by it.
Just take it.

I'll never get the chance, but if I did...

it wouldn't be like before...

I'd never treat you bad again.

Jonggu!

Don't go. Don't go!

Breakfast is ready.

I'm fine.

Is it true you're dating Lee Jonghye?

How did you know?

I have to hear it from other people?

I'm sorry I didn't tell you.

We were planning on
a formal introduction.

I'm going to marry her.

You're what?
She and Young Master Kitae--

That was over a long time ago.
We've been dating four years now.

Then what's this?

She got caught in a gang fight
while she was with Kitae.

You call that over?

Anyone reading this can see
she still cares for him.

How can she marry you?

We're getting married,
whatever happens.

I won't lose her.

- The Jangchung area.
- Yes, sir.

It's early.

I'm sorry.

- I'll get Jonghye--
- No, I'll go myself.

Did you miss the part
where we're through?

You're not welcome here anymore.

What's this?

Still not over Kitae?
Still trying to save him?

Why did you give this interview?

I just told the truth. I just got him
out of the frame you put him in.

You never change.

The you I see and the real
you are completely different.

I won't be fooled by you again.

Listen to me.
Our deal isn't off.

The second you end it with me,
Kang Kitae is finished.

Are we clear?

Why do you insist on premiering Tale
of Sukhyang at the Sunyang Theater?

It's hard to get the press to a rural
premier, not to mention promotion.

The Sunyang is very special to me.
It's where everything started for me.

I'm doing it for my late father.

Promotion or no promotion,
we're opening at the Sunyang.

In that case, I'll work
on scheduling with the media.

Did you see Lee Jonghye's interview?

Yes.

I get the idea she did it for you.

She may have cleared up
the Yakuza rumors...

but now people will think
you're together.

Premiering her film at the Sunyang
will generate a lot of talk.

Will you be all right?

I don't care.

I should go.

Tale of Sukhyang is premiering
at the Sunyang.

They're prepping a media junket
and a major promotional campaign.

He's doing this to get at me.

Rubbing my face in it.

The film he took from me
playing in my theater.

My movie, my theater!

I should be premiering
the movie in Sunyang.

Call Mankang right away.

It's time I turned the tables on Kitae.

Sir, acting now could
end up hurting you.

Better to wait and act later.

Shut up and do as you're told.

Sir.

- Oh, Kita.
- Hey.

Shin?

He called and said he'd be late.

- Heh-heh.
- What?

Shin.
He and Sunae made up.

- Yeah?
- Yeah.

That's great.
How did it happen?

It's a long story, but that's the gist of it.

They may be getting married soon.

Married?

Yep. That's what broke them up
in the first place.

She wanted a ring and he was
Mr. Like-the-Winds-and-the-Clouds.

Then we'd better catch the wind
and stand him up at the altar.

That's what I'm saying.

We'll set it up right after
the Sunyang premier.

Good, perfect, I swear.

Bitnara Productions.

It's Jang Cholhwan.
Is Mr. Kang in?

Yes. One moment.

- Kitae, Jang Cholhwan.
- Mm.

It's me.

I have a meeting with
the Director tonight.

Now that the weight
of the nation is on me...

I find myself thinking
of the late President.

When I served him, I never dreamed
how lonely it is at the top.

I understand completely.

It's a lonely, difficult job.

I'm not much, but I'll do all
I can to ease your burden.

I appreciate the thought.

Ah, I asked you here
to introduce someone to you.

- Ahem.
- Sir.

Oh.

Say hello.

Kang Kitae.

Head of Korea's #1 entertainment firm,
Bitnara Productions.

Sit.

Mr. Kang's actors and singers may
at times help ease your loneliness.

He's like a son to Kim Ponggil, the
Japanese businessman we discussed.

Jang Cholhwan has introduced
Kang Kitae to Director Jeong.

I see.

That's it?

It's not time yet.
Be patient.

What will you do?

Jang and Kitae foolishly think
everything is going their way.

The Jang I know is there simply
for Kitae and Kim Punggil's money.

When the time is right,
he'll turn on Kitae in a heartbeat.

We'll wait till then.

I understand.

Pak Eunho is in the interrogation room.

Good. I'm on my way.
Give him a scare.

Sir.

Ready?

Squeezing by the throat is my specialty.

Not to worry.

You read Lee Jonghye's interview?

She still seems to care for you.

I cast her in my first film because
I thought we could get beyond the past.

Work as actress and producer.

Now I'm not so sure what I feel.

Neither am I.

Do I love you?
Care for you? Pity you?

I have no clue.

Isn't that the way of it?

How many of us ever know how we feel?

We love, we yearn,
and never really know...

what we're feeling.

You've heard the story
of the President hurling an ashtray...

and the Ulsan Group fell?

That rumor is the sad but
undeniable reality of Korean politics.

That same ashtray
could be thrown at you.

I've paid all I can.

Any more and my company will fall,
ashtray or no ashtray.

I can't afford to pay any more.

If that's the case, you leave us no choice.

You're son is studying in America?

Yes.

He lost $2.5 million in the
Las Vegas Flamingo Casino.

His Malibu beach house
cost another $5 million.

We need to look at where
that $7.5 million came from.

As you know, foreign currency
regulations could cost you

...and your son 10 years.

Deal with us and the currency charges
will be dropped.

Your interview will really help
the premier of Tale of Sukhyang.

Everyone's talking about it.

I'm glad to hear it.

Have you ever been
to the Sunyang Theater?

Of course. It was my first gig back
in my Bitnara Show days.

Ah, right, you were the opening act.

Ah, you were so fresh
and giddy back then.

I'm not now?

Ripened to perfection,
maybe, but hardly fresh.

Tell the media that the Sunyang
is where Jonghye and I first met.

I will.

Be with me, be with me...

What are you looking at?

How can you stand yourself?

I know.
Times like this, life is so sweet.

Hey.

Hey, you called us here, remember?

Sorry, sorry, sorry.
Ready for the premier?

Yep.

Jonggu, I called you here
cause I have a great idea.

What?

Let's do the opening show
for the premier.

Opening show?

Sure.

You and me, we'll put on
a show for Mr. Kang.

Revive the old traveling show.
A little nostalgia, a lot of ballyhoo.

What do you say?

Good. Great, great!

The premier is coming up.
You have enough time?

Me and Shin here, we can put on
a show right now today.

- Right?
- Right!

Let's burn up the stage.

Burn it up! Okay!

What brings you here?
Looking for Sunae?

No, looking for you.

Me?

You know Kitae is premiering
his film at the Sunyang?

Yes, I got an invitation.

Ever think about getting back on stage?

Stage?

We're thinking of putting on
a joint Bitnara-Seven Stars

...show at the premier.

And you were our top act.

Your return to the stage
will create a lot of buzz.

And your fans will be glad to see you.

It's been so long, I don't know if I can.

You're Yu Chaeyong.

Walk out on stage and you'll get
that old feeling, don't you worry.

All right. I'm in.

Good thinking.

When did you get here?

Just now.
To ask Chaeyong something.

What?

I'm going back on stage.
For Kitae's premier.

Really?
That sounds great.

Sweetie, shall I dust off my old act?

If you're willing, I say...
"Thank you!"

Then I'll give it a whirl.

Chaeyong, let's burn it up
like the old days.

Burn it up.

What?

An invitation to Kang Kitae's premier.

Premier?

Yes, sir. He's premiering Tale of
Sukhyang, at the Sunyang Theater.

Wasn't that Jo Myongguk's movie?

Yes, sir.

Kang Kitae... He's got style,
I'll give him that.

Snatching Myongguk's movie and
premiering it in Myongguk's theater.

Talk about nerve.

They request an RSVP.

Yes or no?

Sure. I'll go.

Yes, sir.

Kitae is rubbing our faces in it.

Not to mention Lee Jonghye.
You going to stand for this?

I'll do something if you won't. I'll turn
the tables on him once and for all.

How exactly?

Call my boys and deal with him.

I'll set it up.
You just be ready.

Right.

This is Jo Myongguk's land.

And this is Jang Cholhwan's.

Isn't this the creme de la creme?

They bought it with assets
they stole from my late father.

Be that as it may,
getting it back won't be easy.

True, which is why I have a favor to ask.

Director Kim and I can't be
directly involved.

We need your help.

What can I do?

Just go casual.

What? Casual?
This from a designer?

What good is having
a designer for a daughter?

I don't have a thing to wear.

Fine, I'll make you something.

Really?

For money.

Greedy.

Sucking your own mother dry.

It's not my studio.
I need start-up money.

How much?

For a place in Myongdong,
$100K, give or take.

EEP! What?

Good luck with that.

Sundok, what are you up to?

Nothing.

Wait... make-up?

Kids today...

Kitae.

Ready?

Yep. Shin and Miyon
are making a final check.

How's it feel?

Like the Sunyang is finally mine again.

Heck, this is nothin'.

The show Shin and No
have put together will kill you.

True.

Oh. Mr. Kang!

Thanks for all your work.

Work, pssh.
Miyon did it all.

Sangtaek's with the troupe.

The show's ready to go on.

The media?

They'll be here.

They'll want an interview
before the premier.

Sure.
Whatever you say.

- Mr. Jo.
- Yes, sir.

Have the cops cart
Embezzle-Boy here off to jail

Embezzle? Hey, Miss Kim,
what are you doing, speak up for me?

Have I embezzled?
Ever?

Dad, a little drinking money here
and there, but never too much, never.

Barely a year running this place
and you've already lost $10K.

If that's not theft what is?

Ah, that was an investment.

Film production.
To cash in on the Chusok rush.

Here.

Look, Tell Me at Tumen River.

I've invested in distribution,
the whole bit.

Oh?

Chusok's two weeks away.
How is your investment doing?

Has the film wrapped?

Probably...-ish.

"Probably-ish?" What's that even mean?
Has it or hasn't it?

They say it's in post-production.

Jang Donghui, Pak Nosik, Ho Jangkang,
even Hwang Hae,

all our biggest action stars.

It's a sure thing... a guaranteed hit.

Our box office will explode.
You just get your cash bags ready.

Father...

I've finally kept my promise.

A little late, but I got distribution,
the whole bit. Forgive me.

Father, it won't be long now.

Alone, scared, dying on
a cement floor in Mt. Nam...

...everyone who put you there...

...I'll make them pay...

...all of them.

It won't be long now.
