All language subtitles for Lights and Shadows E51

You know where Jonghye is?

All alone with General Jeong.

I wonder what they're up to.

[Episode 51]

- Hello.
- I need your phone.

There.

- Bitnara Productions.
- It's me.

I hear Jonghye is with General Jeong.

Check it out.

She's what? She's got an interview
with Hansong Ilbo today.

Which is why I need to know.

I'm at Mago. Call me here.

All right.

Something wrong?

No, nothing.

The head of Bitnara Productions.

Thanks for your time.
Kang Kitae.

- Thank you.
- This way.

We wanted to talk to you about
the pre-censorship of our new film.

Such a ruthless crackdown
is new for me, too.

Since this is your first film,
you may not know how things are.

We've looked over the areas of concern
but there are just so many of them.

Could you clarify the specific reasons?

This is even harsher than
the old Yushin System.

Oh, what's up?

Mr. Kang called.

He says Lee Jonghye is with General
Jeong and wants me to look into it.

You know anything?

The guy that organized the
National Security party called me.

And?

He said the general likes Jonghye
and wanted a private meeting.

So you set it up?

No, not me.

I just told Jonghye
and she went on her own.

How is that NOT you?

It's all Jang Cholhwan's doing.
Don't fuss at ME, Jonggu.

Jang Cholhwan.

I understood what you were saying
about the realities of the film industry.

I'll see that the
working conditions improve.

Thank you.

Do you have a specific concern?

As an actress, I mean.
I can help.

It's enough that you offered.

Now, now, just tell me.

Actresses are still asked to entertain
politicians. It's not very pleasant.

By whom, exactly?

A few years ago a man highly-placed
in the Blue House

...was particularly nasty to me.

I nearly gave up on acting.

Who was it?

I hate to say...

It's all right. Go on.

Jang Cholhwan.

Him again.
How was he nasty, exactly?

He hurt me deeply,
but that's in the past.

I merely wanted to point out
the problem.

I can promise you this.

You won't be bothered by
that kind of thing in the future.

Mr. Cha, what are you doing here?

What are you up to?

What's this about?

You're Detective Choi?

What kind of world is it
where you can get away with this?

The world may change,
but the ways of desire never do.

What is it with you?
What's this about?

What trash like you calls loyalty
is an insult to the President.

Pull something like this again...

and you'll have to deal with me.

Understood?

What now?

Shut up and come on.

Does Kitae know about all this?

I came on my own.

Kitae has nothing to do with it.

Then why did you do it?

This wouldn't happen
if you were with me.

Kitae can't protect you.

I didn't go to Kitae for protection.

I went because that's where I belong.

And I can protect myself,
thank you very much.

So you can stop this
protection routine anytime now.

We acted according to policy.

At this rate we'll have
to write a whole new script.

If you want to make a movie,
yes, you will.

I understand.
We'll make the revisions you require.

Mr. Kang.

At the same time,

I'll be looking into any irregularities
regarding this censorship ruling.

Irregularities?

What do you mean?

I'm aware that you're close
to Jo Myongguk at Taeyang Pictures.

Are you suggesting this ruling was
influenced by personal feelings?

That's what I intend to find out.

Go ahead and try.

Wait.

What were you thinking?

It's the same thing over and over.

They clearly intend to interfere
with production.

Be that as it may, this approach
will only end up hurting us.

Fold once and it never stops.

If we don't fight back,
we should fold up for good.

Kitae, Shin is on the phone.

Here.

It's me. Well?

Oh, Jonghye just called.
She's home.

Was she with the general?

Uh-huh.
But nothing happened.

She sounded fine.

Mr. Kang, all this...

It was Jang's doing.

What are you doing?

Shhh. Listen.

It's not even in Korean, pssh.

Then don't listen. Feel.

Who's there?
What do you want?

What now?

Sorry it had to come to that,
Mr. Chairman, sir.

It's the only way to deal with
a nasty puddle of slime like you.

I'm sure you understand.

Hey! Come back here!

Come back! Come back!

Come back here!

Hello?

It's me.
You have a minute?

Yes.
I'll be at Tiffany's.

I went because I thought
I could end it once and for all.

And will it?

They won't be able to
do that to me anymore.

I wouldn't have gone
if I thought anything

...would happen that would hurt you.

Don't let it bother you.

It's not over.

As long as you're with me,
every arrow aimed at me may hit you.

I won't have you hurt over me again.

Will you do whatever I decide is best?

I will. I'll trust you.

Don't make excuses.

Whatever the reason,
you can't protect Jonghye.

Let her go.

If you don't, you'll be the one...
covered in mud.

It's ready, just like you asked.

Sunae, Sunae, trouble.

What is it now?

Kang Kitae threw down
on Jang Cholhwan.

What?

Are you sure?

Yes.
A bellboy saw them last night.

It's all over the hotel.

It's natural to worry about Kitae, but you
just know he wiped the floor with Jang.

Ouch...

Argh!

Get some bodyguards.

Sir?

Get some bodyguards
for my personal security.

Yes, sir.

Just you wait, Kang Kitae.

Ouch.

The list of major contributors.

You can select twenty from
this list to form your core order.

Core?

Yes. A group that will report directly
to you in forming public opinion.

The core director should be
a key party member.

See that they have enough to work with.
Don't scrimp on funding.

Sir.

There is one problem.

What problem?

Complaints about people exploiting their
relationship with you to commit fraud.

Fraud?

Yes.
It appears the petition has merit.

Companies strapped for cash

...are issued cash flow notes
at many times their face value.

Who's doing it?

Jang Cholhwan.

His role in raising
political funds is important,

but this could come back
to haunt you.

Better to act now than be sorry later.

Wait, what sense does this make?

It's stripped bare.
There's no movie there.

The rumor about the
board's ruling is spreading.

Investors are talking about pulling out.

I suggest we close this production.

Huh?
Do what now?

As you said,
with these revisions,

we can't guarantee
it will be worth watching.

It will be worse if our investors pull out.

Mr. Kang, I agree,
close the production.

We're going ahead with the film.

Take care of the revisions.

I'll leave making it work to you.
I trust you.

All the same...

I'll deal with any other
production problems.

I wish you'd reconsider.

If we fold now we'll be giving
Jo Myongguk what he wants.

And we'll have problems
with investors.

We'll make a go of this film
and give them a fair return.

I swear.

I understand what he's saying,
I do...

But I still think it's stupid.

What with records
and Bitnara Town...

We're strapped for cash as it is,
how can we handle this, too?

Kitae can handle it, don't worry.

How?

Kim Punggil.

You think he'll just sit back
and watch with Kitae in trouble?

He'll help.

He's got it all covered
so this is just so much noise?

- I had no idea.
- Of course.

Welcome.
Here, here, here.

Sit, sit, sit.

Madame Yun,
get a pretty little thing to join us.

Hm?

Off you go.

What did you want?

Now, now,
why so ugly after all this time?

You're the one
that's always been ugly to me.

In that case,
allow me to apologize.

I understand you're interested
in the slot machine business.

Partner with me,
run the businesses,

and you'll receive
the lion's share of the profits.

Minus my twenty percent.

Well?
That's fair, isn't it?

As you know, comedian
Lee Juil is the hottest thing now.

Whether you get him or not
can make all the difference.

Open with him,
close with Jo Yongpil,

and we're set.

The problem is to get them
you have to bet everything.

Shin tells me Bitnara
is having cash flow problems.

Anyway, we'll think on how
to sign the two of them.

The Purple Sisters open tonight?

Mm.
You going to watch?

Of course.

I heard you were breaking up.
Guess not, huh?

Some girls have all the luck.

Debuting at your age and already
fighting like a bunch of babies?

You fight with Jihye.

What?

We have our reasons for fighting.

Who are you to talk?

Huh.
You mouthing off to me?

You disrespecting your elders?

You're just asking for it.

But she started it.

She can do what she likes.

See me after the show.

Look at me.
It takes a while to learn the ropes.

Get me?

Hello.

Why aren't you getting ready?

We were giving them a pep talk.

Oh? The veterans
passing on their wisdom?

If your debut is a success,
you're half-way there, understand?

- Yes.
- Fighting! One, two, three.

- Fighting!
- Fighting! Let's go.

- Keep at it.
- Break a leg.

What's the idea, taking my side?

There are no sides in a family,
right?

What do you think?

Pretty good.

They should be.
I rehearsed them enough.

Forget about Jo Yongpil and Lee Juil.

Let's see what we can do
with new faces.

Well, you know me,
but still...

I know you can do it, come on.

Exactly what I'm talking about.

Anyone can spend money.

Trust me and we'll hit the jackpot.

Cha-ching!

Mr. Kang.

What's up?

We need to talk.

What?
Jang wants to partner with you?

You gave up on the slots.
He wants to go ahead.

With my family running it.

He talks pretty when he needs you...

but he'll turn on you
when things go south.

I don't like working with him.

But I'm not in this alone.
I have my boys to look after.

If you can't see that,
I have no choice...

but to throw in with Jang.

Hello.

Ah, hello, doing all right?
An interview with Jonghye?

She has a manager now,
I'll have him--

Pardon?
Come again?

Jonghye, what's going on?

With what?

You're getting married?

Married?
Where did that come from?

A reporter just called.
It's in the paper.

A wedding I know nothing about?

Who am I supposed to be marrying?

Kang Kitae.

What?

Jonghye, what's going on?

Kang Kitae,
President of Bitnara Productions,

announced in an exclusive interview...

that he is engaged
to top actress Lee Jonghye...

It says they interviewed Kitae.

I won't have you hurt over me again.

Will you do whatever I decide is best?

- Pierre.
- Miss Kang, did you see the paper?

- What paper?
- Mr. Kang is getting married.

What?
He would have told me.

It must be true.
It's in print.

He's marrying Lee Jonghye?

Myonghi, you didn't know?

Oh, Chaeyong, ahem.

You're so lovely.

The wedding seems real now
that I see you in the dress.

Oh.

Is something wrong?

Chaeyong, um...

Kitae is getting married.

Kitae hasn't confirmed it,
so maybe it's not true.

Myonghi, what is this?

I just saw it myself.

Is this what you meant
by trusting you?

It's the only way I can protect you.

I understand trying to protect me.

But I don't want you to do
anything you don't want to.

What makes you think
I don't want to?

I didn't think you loved me anymore.

I thought you were helping
out of a sense of obligation.

You've never left my heart,
not once, not ever.

Whatever you hear,
whatever you see, just trust me.

Whatever happens, just trust me.
All right?

Mr. Jang, we'll be needing
the political funding soon.

Is everything ready?

Not to worry.
Call when you need it and you'll have it.

I gave you this job because I trust you.

But there's been some unsavory talk.

Unsavory talk?

National Security
and the district attorney

...have received complaints
about irregularities.

Pardon?
How can that be..?

I had hoped to
keep your involvement quiet.

But how can I entrust you with this if
rumors are flying from the very start?

When I asked for your help as fund
manager, I didn't mean help yourself.

A little, yes, but there's a limit!

And what was that with Lee Jonghye?

How does it make me look,
sending an engaged lady to see me?

Engaged? Come again?

Can't you read?

Sir, I'm entirely to blame.
I submit to your judgment.

If this happens again,
I can't trust you or work with you.

This is your last chance.

Remember that.

Yes, sir.

It was you.
You did this?

You did it to yourself.

How's that?

I know you tried to get me out of
the National Security Commission.

So you get your revenge by
turning the President against me?

Whatever you to do me,
I'll repay ten-fold, a hundred-fold.

Take your best shot.

Just see what it gets you,
tough guy.

All right, creep-boy.
You want to go?

I let you off easy with the National
Security business, but no more.

I'll show you what
throwing down really is.

Judging by what the President said, I'd
say you're the one being thrown down.

Remember that.

What a creep... Little punk!

Creep... argh!

Sometimes only a drink will do.
Let's get trashed.

A while ago I was cheering you up.
Now it's your turn.

Not that anything can
possibly cheer me up.

Cheer-shmeer, cheer THIS.

Kitae can go to the dogs.

He still means so much to me.

A while back... I kissed him.

What?

I can still feel him, still taste him.

I thought I might finally be
winning him over.

I love his smile, the way he talks...

everything about him.

How can I give it all up?

What will I do?

It's late, what now?

What's bothering you?

Has Kitae said anything to you?

About what?

The paper says he's engaged.

What? To whom?

Lee Jonghye.

To who now? Engaged?

What's going on?

I don't know the details.
We have to ask Kitae.

- No...
- I'm home.

Kitae, come here, you.

So you heard?

Papers are always lying.
Is it true?

Yes.
Sorry I didn't tell you sooner.

How could you..?

You're marrying Lee Jonghye?

Mm.

But you said the two
of you were through.

I thought we were, but we weren't.

Mother...

I'm marrying Jonghye.
Give us your blessing.

One thing I've learned...

When it comes to men and women,
love isn't enough.

There are two types of love...

The one where it brings out
the worst in you...

and the other where it brings out
your best, and helps you succeed.

You have to work through that
and the way I see it...

I don't think you guys bring out
the best in each other.

Do you want to fall like you did
before over a momentary fancy?

There's something you don't know.

I'm here now because of her.

What?

What do you mean?
Lee Jonghye saved your life?

If not for her, I wouldn't have made it
to Japan. I may have died.

Jonghye never hurt me.
Give her your blessing.

Myonghi,
I know why you don't like her.

But I love her.

So try to accept her.

So, please.

Oh, natural spring water?

- Mm. Here.
- Okay.

I wanted to talk with you last night.
But I dozed off.

About what?

You're getting married?

Yes, sir.
I'm sorry I didn't tell you first.

It kind of snuck up on me.

Congratulations are in order.

They sure are.
I'll bring her round to introduce you.

Was that what you wanted?

No. Let's go inside.

Right.

Dongchol tells me your business
is hurting for cash?

Dongchol and his mouth.

Working capital problems, sure,
but nothing too serious.

After all your big talk?

If things are tough, say so.

Don't be shy. Use my money.

No, I appreciate it, but this is
something I have to do myself.

If I always turn to you for help,
I'll come to expect it.

I can deal with this, trust me.

Stubborn...

Sir, Jang asked Jo Taesu to manage
his slot machine businesses.

Divide and conquer, huh?
What did Taesu say?

He's thinking it over.

It may be too tempting to refuse.

I'll have a word with Taesu,
don't let it get to you.

Sir.

Kang Kitae is making the revisions
and moving ahead with the film.

I heard his investors are
already pulling out. He's a moron.

If the funds are drying up,
the writing is on the wall.

If you'll pardon my saying,

Kitae's cash flow problems
don't guarantee your recovery.

You have to turn this crisis
to your advantage.

Now is the time
to make your comeback.

Accept Jang's offer.

Take Jang's money,
corner the foreign distribution market...

and make films that
compete with Kang Kitae's.

Have you decided?

I accept your offer.

Please pardon my harsh words earlier.

We all make mistakes.

But make them again
and there will be no forgiveness.

I understand.

Read this when you have time.

What is it?

A script. In support of General Jeong
and the Fifth Republic.

You're making the film.
Look it over.

Sir?

It's funded entirely by
the Ministry of Culture.

You can use the best director, the finest
actors. It's an excellent opportunity.

Kang Kitae is making
his own little movie.

I want this one to crush his.

Thank you for this.
I'll give it my full attention.

Good, good.

PR films never do good box office.

Don't make it.

What, I'm an idiot now?

You think I don't know what this is?

Even if it tanks,
we still come out ahead.

First.

If it flops in the commercial houses, we'll
still sell tickets in the national theaters.

Second, with Jang reducing production
costs, we'll make out like bandits.

Third, and most important...

After we do this film, we're guaranteed
a larger foreign film quota.

You follow?

Yes, sir.

Getting married, huh?
And you in the prime of life.

Any regrets?

There's no life after marriage?

Come on, life as a Miss and life
as a Mrs. are two different things.

This is your last movie as a Miss.

I'll treat you right.

Thank you.

We were just finishing up.
Per your instructions.

Thanks, Myonghi.

May I have a word?

- Stay here. I have to, um, go.
- Thank you.

I know what you think of me.

I'm not quite sure what to say.

Then I'll start.

I just can't see my way
to welcoming you to the family.

I understand.

I know how uncomfortable
our decision must make you.

But whatever you think of me,
let me say this.

I never forgot Kitae, not once.

Even when we were apart,
I still lived for him.

Whatever hard feelings you may have...

at least remember that.

All I want is for my brother to be happy.

I've always thought
you were bad for him.

But I'm trying to understand.

It will only make things harder...

but he still seems to want you.

So I'll try to welcome you
into our family.

Myonghi.

It's not easy.
I'm not what you'd call a good sister.

But he loves you, so I'll try.

Thanks.

Miyon told us.
You're moving ahead with the film.

Yes, if we give up now, it will be
even harder to make movies later.

We're going for broke.

Good for you.
It's hard to make up for lost ground.

That's why I'm here. Can you connect
me with some Myongdong lenders?

You need a loan?

Yes. I have a bit of
a cash flow problem.

Then ask Kim Punggil for help.

No. I have to stand on my own,
without his money.

I can introduce you, but only stubborn
fools at their wit's end use lenders.

I can deal with them, don't worry.

Chairman Kong?

Introduce the two of them.

Yes. All right.

Thank you.

Sir, do you know Kitano Ryoji?

Oh, of course.

Back in the Blue House days, I met him
many times with the President.

A true powerhouse in Japanese politics.

Why do you bring him up?

Kitano Ryuji backs a Korean
expatriate in Japan. Lee Yonsu.

He's Kim Punggil's business rival.

And?

He and Kitano Ryoji
are coming to Korea.

Oh?

My point is...

Lee Yonsu is Lee Jonghye's father.

What?

We have Lee Jonghye's schedule.

Where is she?

Filming near the cathedral
in the Sanggye area.

- All right. You can go.
- Sir.

Jonghye's schedule?
What are you up to now?

I won't have her near Kitae.
I'm taking her away.

Suhyok, enough.
She's publicly engaged to be married.

How far will you take this?

I'm not sure myself.

But Kitae can't have her.

If I can't have her, neither can he.

Suhyok... Suhyok!

Did you see the revisions?

Yes.

Choi Songwon surprised me.

I had no idea he could turn around
a new script so quickly.

Neither did I.
With his talent, we've still got a movie.

True.

Are you really marrying Lee Jonghye?

If you'll pardon my saying,
Jonghye is like a rose bush.

Lovely to look at,
but prick your fingers and you'll bleed.

It's not my rose if I don't.

Others may see it as bleeding.

But if I can achieve my ends,
that's my idea of success.

What do you get out of marrying her?

Her happiness.
That's all I need.

Kitae.

Oh, they shooting?

Sure, sure,
but you probably shouldn't go.

Why, is something wrong?

Reporter leeches everywhere.
They're ruining the shoot.

Cut, cut!
We're shooting here.

Please, you're in the way. You can take
your photos at the press conference.

We can't film for all the scum.

Sorry.

What do you have to be sorry for?

It's those self-important parasites.

Oh, Mr. Kang.

Whew... Something should be done.
We can't film.

I'll take care of it.

Come with me.

What now?

I guess we're holding
a press conference.

Ahem.

I'm Kang Kitae with Bitnara Productions.

We scheduled a formal
press conference.

But an informal discussion with our
valued friends of the press can't hurt.

As you know, Miss Lee Jonghye
and I are engaged.

We'll be married after this film wraps.

Is it true Miss Lee will retire
after the wedding?

No, she'll continue making films.

This announcement may have
a negative impact at the box office.

Wouldn't you agree?

Absolutely not.

The power of true love will resonate
with viewers. The film will be a hit.

We hope we can count
on your blessings.

Can we get a picture?
