[Episode 63]

Suhyok.

Mt. Nam is bad news,
judging from your hair.

You messed up.

If you had given me the proof
instead of cutting a deal with Jang...

I could have finished him.

Now there's no stopping him.

I can't do it,
and you blew your last card.

You have a point,
but would it kill you to say thank you?

I'd do the same thing again if I had to.

So I blew my card.

You've got brains and influence,
you stop him.

That's why I cut the deal.

I still think there's a reason
you've clung to power.

Isn't it time you showed what it is?

What? You gave Jang
the goods to save Suhyok?

Uh-huh.

I don't get you.

Why bother?
After all he's done to you.

You know why Jang tried to kill you.

It wasn't the money
or avoiding bankruptcy.

You know what it's been all this time?

Suhyok cut a deal with Jang.

Jang kills you, Suhyok gets Jonghye,
those were his terms to set Jang free.

That's the creep you saved.

And he won't thank you for it.

That's in the past.
Leave it alone for now.

I hate that you threw away
your chance to end Jang.

I still think there's a reason
you've clung to power.

Isn't it time you showed what it is?

- Mr. Jon called you?
- Sure did.

He said he needs to see Kitae.
He practically begged me.

Only yesterday we were
the ugly step-kids.

Now he's beggin'.

We made it.

- Long time.
- Hello.

Mr. Choi, doing okay?

No thanks to you.

Huh?
How do you mean?

He's grousing because Bitnara
breathes and he has to dance.

Listen to you.

- Shall we?
- Yes, please.

Is it true your Bitnara recital
is airing on KBC?

Yes, it is.

Their production team
put it all together.

Be that as it may,
it's just not right.

What about our history together?

Do it with us.

You want me to renege
on my contract?

- Contract?
- Yes, sir.

I swear...
Where were you?

Sorry, sir.

KBC has this one,
but we can give you the year-end show.

You mind putting that in writing?

Fair enough, let's do it.

MBS is Bitnara's first home.

You'll get first option on our big gigs.

Well, now...

Mr. Choi, you hear that?

Men in charge have to know people.

Mr. Kang and me
understand each other.

That's why we keep working together.

I understand, sir.

Oh, the Top 50 is on.

- Let's watch.
- Sure.

- Hey, Bonggu.
- Hang on.

- Our artists?
- Rehearsing, sir.

Moron, then you should be there,
not chatting out here.

Get the staff some drinks
from the machine.

Sir.

- Now!
- Sir.

Mr. Kang, we've got six singers
on the Top 50.

The other productions companies
swear it's payola, the losers.

- He's here. Mr. Kang.
- Hello!

You're being here is a good sign.
I'll make #1 today for sure.

Who you kidding?
I'm #1.

You're getting ahead of yourselves.

Not so much.
One of them will be #1 today.

Of course.

- Mr. Kang with Bitnara?
- Yes?

Yang Sangguk, Top 50 producer.

Anything I can do.

- A pleasure. Our artists.
- Hello.

Excuse me.

The highfalutin producer
sucking up to our boss.

Mr. Kang, let's take
the singers out after the show.

I've got Mr. Kim's
scholarship foundation inauguration.

You take them out.
Get them something good.

Sure.

After the inauguration, you've got
a meeting on the Bitnara national tour.

Then the Film Producers Association.

They're making you president.

I said I didn't want to.

It doesn't hurt,
for appearance's sake.

Whatever.
What good does it do?

If they keep bugging,
tell them I'm not going.

Oh, and we need
an accounting team.

Accountants?

Yes, we're growing,
we need legal experts.

- Right, fine.
- Sir.

- Where have you been?
- At the studio.

Lastly, Lee Dong Wook
from Choong Young High School.

- Stick to your books.
- Thank you, sir.

Now a few words from Kim Chaeuk...

to commemorate
the first annual scholarship awards.

First, allow me to thank Kim Punggil,
Song Mijin and Kang Kitae...

for asking me to speak today.

And my warmest congratulations
to the scholarship recipients.

You are truly blessed.

Not because of the scholarship.

Because today you have met
Kim Punggil, Song Mijin and Kang Kitae.

A blessing, indeed.

These three are proof of success.

Mr. Kim made something
of himself in Japan...

despite discrimination
and grave challenges.

Song Mijin and Kang Kitae
beat the odds...

and are the biggest names
in Korea's entertainment industry.

Following their example, you, too,
can make something of yourselves.

Fighting!

Congratulations, Mr. Kim.

Not at all, just doing my part.

I was referring to the two of you.

Oh...
oh, dear me...

Mr. Kang told me.

I'm happy for you.

Can't argue with that,
best thing I've ever done.

- Shall we?
- Yes, let's.

We appreciate your time today.

- I'm not that busy.
- You're not?

- Not so much.
- Why?

I can't stand seeing Jang in charge.

I might quit.

All the more reason to stick to it.

Jang has far too much power now.

I'd rather step down
before I'm forced out.

Be careful.

How are you feeling?

Work like a dog, share like a noble.
It's nice.

- I owe this to you.
- Not at all.

Oh, Dongchol told me you used the
goods you had on Jang to save a friend.

Have you given up on revenge?

You told me the best revenge
is being happy.

True.

I've decided not to waste
any more of my life on Jang.

The lust for power has no end.

It consumes and destroys.

You just focus on being happy.

Work with me and I'm happy
to offer what little assistance I can.

Hearing that, I feel I can
take on the whole world.

I'll gather together other
like-minded individuals.

That sounds good, but first we'll deal
with those that can't work with me.

Starting with Kim Chaeuk.

I understand.

I'll see to it.

The game was already over
when Jang approached me.

I had to survive to help you.

I know. I understand.

I convinced Jang.
He needs you to fulfill his vision.

What vision?

Jang wants to be president.
He's already gathering followers.

He'll contact you.

It's up to you.

Whatever you may think,
you need him now.

Enjoy.

Where have you been?

Rehearsal.
Anything going on?

Everyone's asking for you.

Lee Dongjun with National Security

...and the chairman
of Samjin Group were here.

Chairman Yu thinks you're a lobbyist.
He wouldn't leave me alone about it.

What did you say?

That I have no clue, of course.

The Samjin Group wants
defense contracts.

Oh, Cha Suhyok is here.

New hairdo and stinking drunk.

May I join you?

Sure, why not.

I heard about what happened.

You know more than
our intelligence agencies.

It's my business.

It's all right now?

Outside, yes.

Inside, not so much.

Mind if I ask you something?

Go ahead.

Are you over Kitae?

Why do you ask?

I'm no good at love,
I can't control myself.

It creeps me out.

I wonder how others deal with it.

None of us are good at love,
not when we've lost it.

I'm no different.
It hurts, not having what I want.

I understand how you feel.

Misery loves company, right?

This is the duck retailers
quarterly report.

These are your residuals.

You mean, all of this?

Yes.
We're in department stores now.

Dept. stores?

Yes.

This I've got to see.

Yes, I'll set it up.

Here...

My duck in a department store.

It's surreal.

Wait, the sample corner,
don't let her burn it.

Yes'm.

Thank you-u-u...

The lady here created the recipe.

Did she? It's so tender,
my children love it.

Thank you-u-u.

Enjoy.
Bye-by-y-ye...

Hee-hee!

Yeah, well,
then you should find out why!

Sorry.

- Less sorry, more finding out!
- Sir.

Sorry-shmorry, I swear,
drive me nuts.

Something wrong?

Lee Jonghye isn't her yet.

What? Why?

Like I know?

All these delays are killing me.

- Did she say anything to you?
- No.

There's her manager.
Hey.

What's going on?
Where's Jonghye?

We've got to shoot with the sun,
right?

How can we do that without her?

Um... She's off the film.

Off what-now?
The film?

- Why not?
- Um...

I have no idea.

- Hello.
- Jonghye?

- In her room.
- I'd like a word.

For all the good it will do...
Wait here.

Miyon is here.

Jonghye.

It won't change anything.

- Tell her I'm sorry.
- Okay.

She's not receiving now.
She says she's sorry.

At least tell me what happened.

She seems to think
she was reaching for the impossible.

She hates being a burden to the staff.
Her confidence is shot.

Psychological challenges can be
even worse than physical ones.

The fact is the delays on this production
have been hard on everyone.

What now?

First we get Jonghye back on the set.

And if she won't finish the film?

I'll talk to her.

All right.
I'll tell Choi Songwon.

Send in Dongchol.

You wanted me?

- I want a word with Yang Taesong.
- Okay.

The Muryong orphanage is visiting
the set, what about them?

Cancel it.

Is that a joke?

The director called. She said
the kids are so excited about it.

I said I can't, sheesh.

Don't you know
what you mean to them?

You're their hope.

You going to douse that?

If you can't, you can't,
but at least see the kids.

I'm bringing them and that's that.

Jonghye, Taesong is right.

They'll be so disappointed.

The staff and me, we know
what you're going through.

Don't you worry about it.

We knew this film
would be harder than others.

Stick with it and we'll stick
with you to the end.

I'm sorry to be so much trouble.

I'll stick with it.

Thank you.
We'll get ready.

Jonghye.

- Sissy!
- Jonghye!

- Hey, you.
- Hello.

- Does it hurt?
- No, I'm fine.

You've grown.

Mijong, what happened?
You have a sty?

- Shall I tell you the secret?
- Please.

Tug your eyelash, say,
“Sty-away” and poof, all better.

I used to get them all the time.

- Really?
- Mm-hm.

- Stay right here.
- Yessir.

Anyone gets in Jonghye's way,
dinner is on him, got it?

Got it!

Ready.

Thank you.

For what?

I wouldn't have come back
if not for the kids.

Don't thank me, thank Kitae.

He told me to do it.

There he is.

So they made it?

Yes.
What's this?

Minjong said she wanted
a doll last time we visited.

You shouldn't single her out like that.

I got it covered, don't you worry.

Thank you.

Thanks, pssh.

They're like my in-laws.
It's only fitting.

I didn't mean that.
I'll stick it out, whatever happens.

Speak when spoken to,
nothing else.

Relax.

Relax..?
You're Mr. Mouth.

I said relax.

Well, say hello.

Hello. Jo Bomsu.

I'm a huge fan. I have your
clipboard and your photo.

Half the kids I know are fans.

Oh... uh-huh...

Well?

Speak up.

Oh... um...

Ten mouths wouldn't be enough.

But if you'll let me,
I'll say this much.

I wanted to say
I'll give everything up for you.

I can't live without you.

Pretend I don't exist.

I'm all grown up,
I don't need the old man.

No, it's not that...

If you don't marry cause of me,
I'll really turn rotten.

Just marry him

Would you shut up?

He's sweet.

Oh, well, he's nothing like me.

No fights, nothing.

I can't pretend you don't exist.

I'll marry my baby...

and you'll live with us.

Hyebin.

Thanks... Mom.

Listen, I'm your stepmom,
sure, but don't rush it.

One step at a time.

Right, Sis.

Sit already.

Anyway, just swallow your pride
and bow your head.

He said it's all right, but you know
he's not the trusting type.

Cha Suhyok.

Look at you.

My time in the service
went very well thanks to you.

Losing a young man like you
to war would be a loss to Korea.

It's been seven years. I've watched you
as I watch any investment.

Now I want a return.

How may I help you?

When this election is over,

I'll be attending the president
at the Blue House.

I want you with me.

Sit.

You understand politics now?

I'm trying.

Trying isn't enough.

I was a fool.
Forgive me.

Ahn Dosong told me something.

Peter betrayed Jesus three times
before he becoming a true disciple.

I'm not Jesus, but I'll forgive.

But not out of political expediency.

I recruited you into politics
for your talent and ability.

More importantly,
because we're alike, you and I.

We both grew up without fathers.

You're ambitious.

I wanted to be a father to you.

A father doesn't abandon
a wayward son.

So as a father, I forgive you.

I've opened my heart to you.

You may want to do the same.

Mr. Cha.

You should get some rest.

- No. Get me a coffee.
- Sir.

[Steps to the Presidency]

That's Cha Suhyok.
You don't disappoint.

Reading this,
my political future is assured.

Well done.

Thank you.

I'll go with your plan.

It's a great opportunity for me
and a great one for you.

- I expect great things.
- Sir.

Whipping up that report overnight.
I hate you.

With your plan,
he'll be president for sure.

No.

He'll go into decline.

With my plan, he'll lose the President's
support, his money and power.

You..?

You think I came back to serve him?

All I can think about
is how to ruin him.

Destroying him is the only way
I can forgive myself.

How was the distributors' meeting?

Good.
We've already got ten investors.

Next week we'll host an investment
meeting for the regional distributors.

Good thinking.

You should attend, too.

Yes, of course.

Miyon, I'd like a word with Mr. Kang,
if you'll excuse us?

Sure.

What?
Something wrong?

You hear about Suhyok?

No. What now?

He's back with Jang.

What did I tell you?
You wasted your time.

How's Jonghye?

The movie's coming along.

She nearly gave up,
but there she is.

Gyesun told me you can't
watch her filming without bawling.

But it must feel good,
all the same.

Sure it does.
I suppose.

Why?
Is something wrong?

No.

Would you give us a minute?

Of course.

If you're alone, join me.

Sit.

Drink?

Mm.

You really went back to Jang?

Did you?

Mm.

Tell me something.

Is power so addicting?

Is it so hard to give up?

Remember what you said?
What good is power if I can't use it?

I'll show you what good it is.

How?

By crawling back to Jang Cholhwan?

Just wait.
I'll show you.

Whatever.
Wait for what?

I don't trust you,
don't believe in you.

If I never see you again
it will be too soon.

Give up my little Yujin?

You can't care for a child
in your condition.

No.
I'll never let her go.

It's already decided,
just so you know.

No. No!

- Let go!
- No, no, Yujin!

Yujin! Yujin! Yujin!

Yujin..!

Mommy!

- Yujin.
- Mommy!

- Yujin...
- Mommy...

Mommy...

Cut.

Whoa!

Jonghye.

- You okay?
- Mm-hm.

You're not going to Jang's office?

Why?

They're announcing
the Olympic venue today.

Mr. Yun, Jang,
everyone who's anyone is there.

You should put in an appearance.

Not for me.

What will you do?

Jang worked behind the scenes
with the chairman of Anais.

He'll pull this off.

If we get the Olympic bid, Jang's
political power will be unstoppable.

You may be set on ruining him,
but I think you're kidding yourself.

Think it over.

It's a live broadcast.
You should go.

No. Mr. Yun, you go.

No, at my age,
it might give me a heart attack.

Well?

It's Seoul.
We beat Nagoya!

- Woohoo!
- At last.

- Congratulations.
- Congratulations.

We did it.

Yes.

It's me.
You see it?

No.

It's Seoul.
Everyone's ecstatic.

Mr. Jang is looking for you,
come over.

No.
Tell him I'm working.

If we get the Olympic bid, Jang's
political power will be unstoppable.

You may be set on ruining him,
but I think you're kidding yourself.

Think it over.

What did you want to see me about?

Ah, listen, what do you think
about a hotel dinner show?

Dinner show?
What's that?

Road shows are old hat and
the night club crowd skews young.

Where are the shows for
the older crowd?

So we thought we might try
a show in the hotel ballroom.

A nice dinner, a show,
that sort of thing.

Good idea. Good for the hotel,
good for Bitnara, a win-win.

Exactly.

It should be classy,
in the hotel and all.

How about Yu Chaeyong
for the first dinner show?

- Perfect. Let's do it.
- Yes.

Great, we'll set it up.

Did you see
the Olympic announcement?

Yes.

When Juan Antonio Samaranch said,
"Seoul, Korea," I got chills, I mean!

It's a great day for Korea,
but one thing bothers me.

Oh?
What's that?

Now Jang is even more powerful.

I've seen people come
and go in my day.

But Jang's brand of luck is a first.

As chair of the Olympics Committee, the
important thing now is image-making.

The harsh reality is, say your name and
the first thing people think is, "Fraud."

We've got to change that.

Good thinking.

Any "image-making" ideas?

In my experience, the best bet is to cozy
up to celebrities, the sheep love that.

- Celebrities?
- Yes, sir.

That's too short-sighted.

It appeases the fickle,
but doesn't fix the problem.

You're not wrong,
but I've got to shake off my old image.

Cozying up to a beloved entertainer
will help with that.

Good. Set it up.

Mr. Kang.

Did you meet with
the president of MBS?

No.

Mr. Jong mentioned it
when I was leaving MBS,

something about
meeting the president.

Why?

No clue.

If you're meeting with network
executives, Bitnara has really arrived.

I appreciate your time.

Mr. Jong told me a lot about you.

I appreciate all you've done for us.

Not at all.
You've been a help to us.

Why did you ask to see me?

Someone wants to see you.
He'll be here soon.

Mr. Kim, it's been too long.
Yes, sir.

Introductions.

This is Jang Cholhwan.

It's been a while.

Would you mind
giving us a moment?

- Of course. Take your time.
- Thank you.

Sit.

I knew you wouldn't see me,
so I used my friend here.

Sorry for the surprise.

What do you want?

There's no rush.

Let's have a drink and talk things over.

Mr. Jang is meeting with Kang Kitae.

I suspect he wants to talk to Kitae
about that image-making stuff.

It may just make things worse,
who knows?

It occurred to me that it would be good
for both of us to bury the hatchet,

so to speak.

Think of me as a mentor
from Sunyang.

I have a vision of devoting
the rest of my life, not just to Sunyang...

but to all of South Korea.

Quite frankly,
I expect to be the next president.

To that end, I need to change
whatever negative image I may have.

I could use your influence
with celebrities.

If I'm seen doing good works
with popular entertainers,

my image will improve.

This isn't just for my benefit.

It can be a great help to you,
as well.

Well?
Will you help me?

I'll repay your candor
with some of my own.

Never in a million years.

If you really want to help Korea,
don't do anything.

That's what's best for Korea.

I have no influence, no interest
in politics, but I can stop you.

Keep up this ridiculous "vision"
of yours and I'll do just that.

That's what I call patriotism.

"Please."

...rude little...

How did it go?

Mr. Yun returned to Mt. Nam at 9pm.

- You have it?
- Sir.

Kang Kitae must be dealt with.

He's been a thorn
in my side long enough.

I expect you to deal
with him personally.

Permanently?

Yes.
It has to be done.

The last men we used were a joke.

Handle it personally.

Your orders?

Hit the floor.

Up.

Right, so you wanted to be managers.

The days of being a driver
and carrying bags are gone.

"How can the stars in my care shine?"
That's what you should worry about.

What's up?

Oh, just a little quality time
with my trainees here.

Give us a second.

Hey, "Quality time."

This is important.

Beat it.

...worthless...

Well?

More bad news.

Jang is hosting an event
to commemorate the Olympic bid.

He wants our artists there.

Like Kitae will have
anything to do with him?

Which is why it's bad news.

If we don't go,
who knows what Jang will do.

Then we'll go without Kitae knowing.

And when he finds out later,
what then?

Kitae's being silly anyway.

It's to celebrate the Olympic bid.
We go, "Congratulations," the end.

Kitae's got Jang on the brain.
Am I wrong?

- Kang Kitae.
- It's Yun from Mt. Nam.

What now?

We need to talk in private.

I doubt that.
Goodbye.

Wait.
You'll be sorry.

The same place.
2 o'clock. Come alone.

I stand here before you after many
trials and tribulations.

After moving to Seoul
and having no job...

you helped me dream big again.

You crazy idiot.
I don't think I can die before you.

This has nothing to do with you.

Leave Kitae alone.

Cha Suyok.

Are you out of your mind?
