[Episode 25]

My friend here should hear
what you have to say, too.

Now...

Say what you have to say.

Cha Suhyok.

Who are you?

Come with us.

Now who are you?

Well, Mr. Jang? You know Mr. Kang
and I are busy men.

Spit it out.

I can see this is hard for you.

Let's have a drink first.

There.

Here.

Bottoms up.

Now, now, lose your train of thought?

Forgive me, but this is for
your ears only.

Oh, I'd rather Mr. Kang were here.

Go on.

Well, this won't do.

Mr. Kang, I'm sorry,
but you'll have to excuse us.

I assumed what he had to say
would affect you as well.

But it appears he can't say it
in front of you.

If you'll pardon me.

What happened?

Mr. Jang wants to speak
to him alone.

I never thought I'd see him like this.

A shame we can't be flies
on the wall.

A drink.

First, a full statement on your
association with Jang Cholhwan.

When and where you met,
past to present.

And don't leave out the details of
Jang Cholhwan's involvement

in Kang Mansik's death.

Are we clear?

No answer?

There's absolutely no reason for me
to be under investigation.

I refuse to make any statements.

Cha Suhyok.

You were with intelligence in 'Nam.

You did your duty. So you know how
rough these investigations can get.

We both work for the
same taskmaster.

So make it easy on yourself, huh?

Don't mark up his face.

Kang Kitae isn't here to irritate you.
Why won't you speak?

Oh, is pride keeping you
from telling me?

Or just too scared to spit it out?

Now's not the time to falter.

Sir. Forgive me.

Give me another chance.

It's been a while since
you called me sir.

First it was sir,
then Mr. Kim and finally...

"Hey, Kim Chaeuk!"
As you may recall.

Interesting how titles can track our
relationship over the years.

I'm sorry, sir.

Jang Cholhwan.

Is that all you have to say?

You think I'd be so tickled to have you
kneel and beg that I'd cover it all up?

Is that what you think of me?

I don't ask you to cover it up.

I take responsibility for my actions.

My fear is that when my actions
are made public...

it will place a burden
on the President.

Help me to avoid disgracing
the President, sir.

Please.

The death of Kang Kitae's father
was an accident.

Won't the arrest and death of an
innocent man

harm the KCIA's reputation?

Don't get blood on your hands
removing someone like me.

Punish me instead.

I will accept any punishment
you deem fit. Please...

Please grant me that, sir.

That sounded like a threat to me.

Removing you could hurt me,
so don't tell the President.

Is that it?

You misunderstand me.

I kneel before you now so I won't
bring disgrace on my years

of service to the President.

Please understand, sir.

What did he say?

He begged forgiveness for being
an insolent little twit.

Did he mean it?

You never can tell
with Jang Cholhwan.

But he'll behave. He knows who's
holding the reins.

He won't hurt you, either.

I've made some enquiries into your
father's death.

It's clear there were no grounds to
suspect him of Communist activities.

It's also clear he "voluntarily" confessed
while under investigation.

The KCIA is responsible.

I'm truly sorry I didn't prevent this
terrible crime.

What about Jang Cholhwan's
involvement?

I looked into that, believe me.

You misunderstood.

It's clear Jang Cholhwan had nothing
to do with your father's death.

You still refuse?

Pretty dense for a guy that's
supposed to be so smart.

This guy you're so loyal to,
Jang Cholhwan? He's finished.

It's time you looked out
for yourself.

Nothing the rack can't fix.
See to it.

The Director called.

He said to let him go.

Lucky you.

Everything that happened here,
you brought it on yourself.

Don't blame me.

Let him go.

If you feel any friendship at all,
tell me this.

I'm not as smart as you are.

So I just don't get it.

Was his power so impressive?

Was it so attractive to hold power,
to share in their lies?

Didn't you have the power
to trust me?

To tell me the truth?

Well, you wanted power.
You wear a mask all the time.

So who can I trust?

Don't mistake power for
political influence.

The power of money is far dirtier
than politics.

As is the power of the
entertainment industry.

You've started to
feel that power.

Soon you'll be drunk with it.

What will you say then?

I wonder.

Sir.

Oh, Cha Suhyok.

My brain, my tactician.

Sit.

Well, I whined and blubbered
like you said.

Another chance, I said.

I kneeled and
begged for another chance.

It bought me a little time,
just a little.

Well done, sir.
Truly, well done.

Well done?

Wouldn't it be better to slit my own
stomach and keep my honor?

Now we can get through this.

I'll take care of it.

You'll hold the sword again,
whatever it takes.

Trust me.

What about Jang Cholhwan's
involvement?

I looked into that, believe me.

You misunderstood.

It's clear Jang Cholhwan had nothing
to do with your father's death.

It's late. Why haven't you
gone home?

Well?

Well what?

The KCIA director had answers about
your father's death?

He confirmed my father wasn't
a Communist sympathizer.

Really?

At least you won't have that
hanging over your head.

That's great, really.

But you don't look like it's great.

Something wrong?

Director Kim said Jang Cholhwan had
nothing to do with my father's death.

If he says it, it's so, right?

Wrong.

I know for a fact Jang Cholhwan and
Jo Myongguk were involved somehow.

So Director Kim is lying to you?

Why?

Something's not right.

They say people in
power stick together.

I'll have to rely on myself.

By my hand, by myself.
It's up to me to get the truth.

Detective Han.

I feel like a hick being in Seoul.

Did you find someone?

He's on the way.

He's a junior officer from
my Kyonggi days.

He lost his job over some
money troubles.

But he's got talent and a
family to support.

I'm sure he's your man.

Oh, here he is.

Sir.

- Sit.
- Thank you.

Kang Kitae,
I told you about him.

Nam Daeho.
It's a pleasure.

No, the pleasure is mine.

I gave him a rough idea of
what you need.

Here. Take a look.

That's Jo Myongguk,
President of Taeyang Pictures.

I want to know who he meets
and what he's up to.

Yes, sir.

Come again? Why would you work
with Director Kim?

He asked me to go work for him
several times.

We don't have anyone inside the
KCIA anymore.

If we want inside information, I'll have to go to work for him.

He's clever. It could be a trap.

Don't worry. I'll avoid his trap.

And trap him in a worse one.

Sorry if they were too rough on you.

Not at all.

After I got your call I half hoped
you had a change of heart.

Was I wrong?

Well spotted.

I'm tired of sitting in a rotten tree like
a fool, waiting for scraps of fish.

Of course. Jang's shenanigans only hurt
a bright young man like you.

What's worse,
it's a loss to the country.

I'd like to work for you,
if you'll have me.

No, not for me.

For the President and your country.

Glad to have you aboard.

Will I be working in Mt. Nam?

No. I have better use for you
at the Blue House.

Work under Jang, keep me informed
of his and the President's movements.

There's a gap between Mt. Nam
and the Blue House.

I want it closed.

You take my meaning?

Yes, sir.

- A drink.
- Sir.

Cheers.

- 1, 2, 3, 4. 1, 2, 3, 4.
- No.

Gyesun, water.

Huh? Oh.

You clean up my shoes?

Uh-huh.

Here.

- Hyebin, you're on.
- Coming.

What was that?
You her maid?

I might as well be.

She's too sneaky with the men.

Better to slave for her and get along.

Next in tonight's show,
Bitnara Productions latest find.

Your favorite girl, Lee Hyebin.

"Your Girl."

Whoa, they like her better than
Yu Chaeyong.

What do you think?

About what?

She's awfully cute and cuddly.

What about Myonghi,
Mr. Player?

One look doesn't make me a player.
Or so they say.

Lee Jongja! Lee Jongja!

EEP!

Come on.

What are you doing here?

- Let's go.
- Where?

Lee Jongja!

What's he think he's doing?

What the..?

- Don't.
- C'mon, Jongja.

Back off!

Put it down, pal!

- C'mon, Jongja.
- No.

- Back off..!
- Don't.

Any closer and she's dead.

Easy.

And you, back off.

Or else..!

Jongja! Jongja!

You okay?

Mmph-ja! Jong-mmph!

Well? What now?

Heybin's boyfriend jumped on stage
and made a fuss.

Boyfriend? He's a grifter.

He took my money and
promised to make me a star.

I don't believe it.

I know how you are with men.
Quit lying.

Sunae, it's true.
He's not my boyfriend.

Where is he?

Jinu has him in the back.

It will be a headache if the press
gets wind of this.

You deal with them.

Right.

Kitae.

I'm the head of Bitnara Productions.

Whatever. Bring me Lee Jongja.

This is between me and her.

Hyebin says there's nothing
between you.

Jongja said that?

That's so...!

After all I did for her?

All my work to make her a star?
And now she betrays me?

So what is it you want?

I love her.

I gave her everything.

Now she tosses me aside like
an old shoe?

It's hard to believe you love her
with the way you're acting.

What, you want to end her career?

I don't want anything.

Just let me be with her.

I can't live without her.

- Get Hyebin.
- Sir.

Little rat.
What did you ever give me?

Mr. Kang, don't believe him.

Hey, who took care of who?

I worked dives to keep you in
gambling money, drinking money.

What more do you want?

Jongja, don't.

I still love you.

I despise you.
I hate the sight of you.

Right.

Get out.

Let's go.

Sit.

I'm sorry.

Nah, these things happen after all.

But understanding is one thing,
fixing the problem is another.

For me to help you and
save your career...

we have to keep this out of the papers.

Whatever the problem is,
you have to deal with it.

Calm him down and
until the situation is diffused...

keep him around.

Around me? Living together?

No. Not that.

For the time being...

I'll make him a Bitnara manager.

I'm buying you time.

You deal with this.

Do I make myself clear?

Yes.

Whew.

Nice solution.

Pay him off, slap him around...

it just makes it worse.

It's best to let them work it out.

I swear. Now I'm
a relationship counselor.

What a pain.

Never mind them,
what about your relationship?

Quit stalling. Get married.

I've got too much ahead
to get married now.

Men, see, they need to get married
to get anywhere in life.

Look at me, spending my life
drifting here and there...

would I have missed it
if I got married?

Not to mention the temptations
in our business.

Get married.
It provides stability.

Pssh. Uh-huh.

Here he is.

How did it go?

They made me a manager.

Well done.

Make this work and
you're set for life.

I'll risk my life if I have to.

Forget your life, use your head,
your head. Get me?

Yes, sir.

You made a wise move.

This will change your whole image.

Femme fatale.

A masterpiece, baby,
we're going to Cannes, Cannes.

I'm not greedy.

It's my first film.
I'll take what I can get.

Somehow the press found out.

"Is Yu Chaeyong in your movie?"
The phone won't stop ringing.

Yu Chaeyong making her
first movie is big news.

- Oh, you made it?
- Hello.

Sit, sit.

You decide?

Chaeyong is in.
What about you?

You're not going to disappoint me?

I'm in.

I knew it.

You would have regretted it
your whole life.

Good. I look forward to it.

I'm looking forward to it, too.

You have seniority as an actress,
so I'll need your help.

"Seniority." Can't say I like that.

And the male parts?

For our travelling college student,
a new actor named Lee Jongho.

For the artist, well, me.

And for the lead, either Shin Songil,
Nam Gungwon or Yun Ilbong.

One of those three. I'll cast one soon.

I'd cast Yun Ilbong.
He's great in melodramas.

What do you think?

Well, sure... I agree.

Are you going to call it
"Summer Girl?"

Why? Don't you like the title?

I just thought, since you've revised
the script, you'd change the title.

Paehwa and Hyelin have equal roles.

The title should communicate
that to the audience.

Well, you're right, of course.
"Summer Girl" was a working title.

But I started getting used to the feel
of the title...

Do you think you can just
let me keep it?

Of course.

Thanks.

That Yu Chaeyong is
no ordinary lady.

Changing the title and everything.

She'll move in on your territory
if you're not careful.

All right?

Don't worry. I won't give an inch.

She told the director her name
should appear first.

What did he say?

She's more famous,
so he agreed.

Anyway, watch it or she'll steal
the picture from you.

You have Chaeyong's costumes?

Yes.

- Go get them.
- Yes, sir.

Pierre.

Oh, come in.

You're here together?

I'm making a picture.
Sunae agreed to be my coordinator.

What about the Bitnara?

Our premier singer is
making her first film.

She has Bitnara Productions
full support.

You're starring with Lee Jonghye?

That will be something to see.

Pierre, Lee Jonghye has her
costumes made here.

I hope you give extra care to
Chaeyong's outfits.

Oh, like you had to ask?

Well?

They're nice enough.

But there was one of Miss Kang's
designs that I especially liked.

Ah... really?

It was perfect for the film's concept.

You mind if I commission
one of her designs?

Oh, dear, you should use
Pierre exclusives.

You haven't seen Miss Kang's work.
You'll love it.

What the lady wants,
the lady... um... gets.

You really didn't have to.

Thanks.

It's not because we're friends.
I really like them.

Well, thanks anyway.

These are important costumes,
so I'm counting on you.

Of course.

Ah, want to come to my place tonight?

My mother is dying to see you again.

You don't mind?

Not at all.

It's not much, but since
you're like family, no problem.

This is too much. An hour late?

Something came up at work.

You know what scum reporters are.
Sorry.

Is something wrong?

No, no. It all worked out,
not to worry.

Oh, I heard you're making
a movie with Yu Chaeyong?

Yeah.

What a pain.

Why?

She's part of Bitnara.

Makes it tough to cheer just for you.

Ahem. You'd better try.

You know how jealous that sounds?
And stubborn?

You're right. I hate losing.

Especially to Chaeyong.

Why do you laugh?

So jealous, so ambitious,
so stubborn, just like a child.

I'd better watch what I say.

Should I, too?

Nah, never.

What should I call you then?
Baby?

Let's stick with Kitae.

Pssh. If you want.

There's something else I want today,
so hush up and come on.

Where?

To our house. To formally introduce
you to my mom.

We... we can't.

I'm not ready yet.

What do you need to get ready?
You're lovely just as you are.

Mr. Jang sends his regrets that
he hasn't been available lately.

I have a few words to
send right back to him.

I had hoped to do my patriotic duty.

But as he failed to give me my chance,
I'm through with him.

Mr. Jo, why are you..?

Don't just sit there,
say what's on your mind.

Thanks to Kang Kitae, you've lost face,
prestige, what-have-you.

That's our point.

Mr. Jang will find a way to
get rid of Kang Kitae.

Try to be patient.

I'm fresh out of patience.

I'm going my own way,
just remember that.

That's all I have to say,
so I'll be going.

Wait, Mr. Jo...

He's been like this since
his beating from Han Jipyong's boys.

We understand.

Actually his going his own way
isn't such a bad thing.

If you don't stop him again,
he'll deal with Kitae once and for all.

I heard it's been rough for you.

Be patient. Your day will come.

I'm here because my gut tells me
which rope to hang onto.

The world thinks Jang's political career
is over, but I don't see it that way.

Quite right. He nurses his revenge
and waits.

He'll be back.

- Sit.
- Sir.

My Blue House report.

I see I chose well.

Thanks to you, Mt. Nam and the
Blue House feel closer than ever.

Have you heard of the
Club of One Light?

No.

Also called the T-K Cabal.

I'm told Jang is supporting them.

I want you to find out if it's true.

Yes, sir.

Sir?

Just my way of helping.
Certainly not as compensation.

Think of it as expense money,
for whatever you need.

Director Kim knows about
the Club of One Light.

What?

He asked me to look into it.

If that comes out
it will mean trouble.

You've got to distract him.

Sir.

It's Jang Cholhwan.

Let's change today's meeting place.

No, it appears Mt. Nam has been
watching us.

Right. Tell General Jeong
to use caution.

How much is left?

Not much. Again.

I swear...

We'd be better off closing.
We can't keep this up.

Listen... Suppose we change the menu?

To what?

There was a delicious dish when
I was growing up.

Grilled Duck Patties.

Duck?

Chicken, sure, but duck?

Exactly, people haven't heard of it,
but it's a true delicacy.

I know someone that raises ducks.

It shouldn't be hard to buy them.

I don't know...

I've never really been one for duck.

I'll make some tomorrow and
we'll decide then.

Ma'am, Kitae is here.

What if he is, what's the ruckus?

He's with a lady.

What?

Hello.

Oh. How did you get here?

Mom, sheesh, how did she get here?
In my car, of course.

No jokes.

I wanted to introduce her
to you formally.

My fiancee.

That's wonderful. It's been a while.

Ma'am.

You know each other?

She's a regular at the restaurant.

Anyway, um, come in.

- I should go.
- Oh, right.

Goodbye.

Here.

Good.

Get Han Jipyong!

Sir, we have to go.

Sir, now.

After them!

Thank you.

- Now, some tea.
- Ma'am.

Putting me on the spot like this.

You should have told me
you're coming.

Not at all, everything was perfect.

So you're making another movie?

Yes.

With Yu Chaeyong.

Really? That's wonderful.

Some people don't like singers
turning actress and vice versa.

But not me.

If you have the talent, cash in,
that's what I say.

Nothing gets past my mom,
that's for sure.

I got the idea you're living
with the salon lady.

Where are you from?

Mulyong.

Mulyong... right next to Sunyang.

How's that for fate?

And your father?

He... well, he passed.

Passed... Well, another thing
in common.

Your mother lives in Mulyong?

I was reared in an orphanage.

My parents died in the war.
I barely knew them.

Oh, I see.

Anyway, with so much against her,

it speaks that much more of
her character.

You're right.

Poor thing.

You would never know what you've
been through by looking at you.

- Tea.
- Ma'am.

Dinner was pretty good tonight.

We have a guest.

Who?

Mr. Kitae's fiancee.

Pretty?

Uh-huh, she's an actress.

Oh? What's her name?

I don't know, but she's really pretty.

He's some kinda lucky.

Sundok.

You have American coffee.
Get me a cup.

I can't.

C'mon, just a cup.

It's the lady's special treat, I can't.

One lousy cup.

Hello.

Yu... Yu Chaeyong.

Oh, you, she's like a sister to me.

Hi.

We have company?

Yes.

Who?

Mr. Kitae's fiancee.

This is hardly the time.
I should go.

No, it's all right.

My visit will make Kitae and
Jonghye uncomfortable.

I'll go.

I don't know what to say.

I'm sorry.

No. I'm fine, don't worry.

Put those there.

See you at Pierre's tomorrow.

Oh...

You, too. How am I supposed to
answer that?

Ma'am, Yu Chaeyong was just here.

Now, now, what kind of talk is that?

You doze off in the kitchen?
Did you dream it?

It's true.

She came with Miss Myonghi,

but when I said the Mister's fiancee
is here, she left.

She brought presents.

She could at least have said hello.
Why did she take off?

Ladies and gentlemen, as of tonight...

the Hanyang is closed.

Please head toward the exits.
All right?

Well? Move it already!

Subong, then the Ha Sisters,
then Ho Chunhwa?

- Yep.
- We got trouble!

- What now? You finished?
- Jo Taesu.

You. You. Here.

Kang Kitae's boys.

What do you want?

Where's Kang Kitae?

Why do you want him?

Just answer the question.

Where's Kang Kitae?

No idea. Not a clue.

Go tell him this.

If he doesn't come here right now...

all the Bitnara players will pay.

Run along.

Yeah, yeah,
Chaeyong's schedule is full.

She's preparing for a movie.

I might be able to work
in Lee Hyebin.

Good, I'll check and let you know.

Right, right.

Hey, aren't you supposed to be
at the Hanyang?

What happened to your face?
Someone slap you?

Jo Taesu attacked the Hanyang.

He what?

But Han Jipyong runs the Hanyang,
he wouldn't dare.

Jo Taesu ran him off.
Han Jipyong is gone.

What?

If Kitae doesn't go there right now,
he says he'll take it out on the troupe.

Kitae... Where is he?

You've got to tell him.

I can't. If I do, he'll go,
and Jo Taesu will kill him.

But, still, you've got to tell him.

Ugh, you're such a...

What is it with you?

What's what with me?

You have to ask?

Why did you bring Chaeyong here?

You brought your friend,
I can't bring mine?

That is so...

You've been brushing me off.

But I won't have her.

I'm going to tell mom everything.

I told you it was
a misunderstanding.

Misunderstanding?

Fine, you can explain it to Mom, then.
All right?

Hey!

- Kitae, it's Dongchol.
- Come in.

What?

What are you doing here?

Bad news.

Jo Taesu attacked the Hanyang and
is holding the troupe hostage.

What?

He wants you there now.

Kitae. You can't go.

He's sure to kill you if you do.

And he won't kill the troupe?

Sit down and think it through.

We need to make a plan.

Jo Taesu has done something
to Han Jipyong.

I figure the best route is to call Song
Mijin and get the KCIA director's help.

If you don't listen to Dongchol, you're dead.

It's late, why aren't you in bed?

What do you think of the girl
Kitae brought home?

Oh, she's an orphan and all,
but I like her.

Something on your mind?

What if your daughter-in-law
had a past?

A past? A man?

Um, uglier than that.

What are you getting at?

Welcome, gentlemen.

- General Jeong, it's been too long.
- Yes, sir.

At ease.

Thank you for your valuable time.

Sir, let me deal with Kim Chaeuk.

I have a bullet with his name on it.

Next.

Yessir, next,
Bitnara Productions presents...

Ha Chunhwa sound-a-like,
Ho Chunhwa.

Well? Sing.

The moon... the round...

Enough!
