[Episode 54]

Jonghye's house.

What is it?

I want to talk to your father.

Sit.

Well?

I'm still Kim Punggil's man.

So you're giving up on Jonghye?

No.
I'll never do that.

Then we're enemies.

Not necessarily.

I'll do all I can go earn your blessing.

Father, Jang Cholhwan is
capable of doing anything

...to further his own interests.

Kim Punggil and I both
lost our fathers because of him.

It may seem like a good idea
to throw in with him now.

But in the end he'll betray you.
Don't get too close.

You seem to think
I can't look after myself.

I'll choose whom I work with.

If that's all, you should go.

Kitae.

Don't worry.
I'll earn his blessing.

Oh, you, what congratulations?

Oh, Dongchol will say anything.

Not EVERYONE in Songbuk is rich.

It's just so-so compared
to our old place in Sunyang.

Sure, come see Dongchol.

Uh-huh, bye.

What?

You calling everyone?
Glad to have moved, huh?

What, you think I'm calling to brag?

People might go to the old place,
they need to know where we are.

No one ever came to the old place.

Huh?

Who asked you anyway?
Those dishes won't wash themselves.

I was just sayin'...

Now that you've moved you seem
to be taking a lot of time off.

Ah, well,
the factory people came by.

They're going into production
in earnest.

All that's left is to sit back
and get rich.

I don't care about all that.

I just want enough
to help Kitae now and then.

What's this?

I know Kitae's company is in trouble.

Dongchol says he went
to a money-lender.

And he insist he can't take my help.

Oh, dear.

He'll take it from you,
if you could pass it along.

If he finds out he'll be livid.

He won't if we keep it between us.

He has enough to worry about.
This will help a little.

Oh, me, oh, my...

The whole town is buzzing about Jonghye
signing with Taeyang Pictures.

There's talk that our movie will fold.
The investors are worried.

Call a meeting to reassure
the investors.

Got it.

Lee Jonghye won't be
making a Taeyang movie.

Lawsuit or no lawsuit,
our movie will wrap.

Miyon, Songwon, you two get together
and tighten up the schedule.

Okay.

We ready for the Show?

Sure.
Chaeyong is in rehearsals now.

The studio wants one other performer.
I'm thinking it over.

Hyebin or Jihye, one or the other.

No, I have someone else in mind.
Talk with me later.

Mm, all right.

What about the Victoria
and New Seoul?

You going to let Pak Dochol
run things?

What?
Suhyok met with Lee Hyonsu?

Yes, with Ahn Dosong.

He IS in a hurry.

Keep an eye out and let me know
if anything happens.

Yes, sir.

- What?
- Kang Kitae is here.

Send him in.

You keep coming round
and I don't even like you.

You force my hand.
It's not by choice.

Force? Me?

Yes.

Uh-huh. Sit, sit.

How did I force you exactly?

Call off Pak Dochol.

Pak Dochol?
Who's that?

Surely you don't ask because you
don't know your own mob guy?

Ah, the mobster.

What about him?
He giving you trouble?

Aren't night clubs a bit beneath you?

Stop now before things get messy.

Is that a threat?

Take it any way you want.

But I would suggest you stop now
before your image really takes a hit.

Dealing with a low-life like you, I long
since stopped worrying about image.

If you don't like Pak Dochol,
quit the nightclub business altogether.

Now the truth comes out.

So you're joining us low-lifes.

Now why does a man involved in affairs
of state lower himself like that?

You're right, I am lowering myself.

But if you're doing it,
I'm putting a stop to it.

I intend to show the world what happens
to those that don't fear me.

I'll crush you hard, harder,
like a bug under my boot.

Now do you see why
I sent Pak Dochol?

You took the words right
out of my mouth.

That's that, then.

...mouthy little...

- How did it go?
- Like we expected.

What now? With Taesu gone,
don't we have to hand it over?

Dongchol, find out what
Han Jipyong's old crew is up to.

Mr. Han's family?

Exactly. If we're going to stay open,
we need muscle.

If we have no teeth,
we'll gum ‘em to death.

I understand.

My sources tell me that Jang gave out
more promissory notes than we thought.

How many?

Over five thousand.

It's a good way to take Jang down,
but in doing so,

we could hurt the national economy.

As well as General Jeong.

But it could snowball
if it's not stopped.

Isn't it better to stop it now?

Your thoughts?

Jang's efforts represent substantial
political capital funding,

however he earned it.

Exposing him could blow up
in our faces.

Better to wait for now.

Fair enough.

I'll use the time to gather
more evidence against him.

Lee Jonghye's people just called.
She refuses to do our movie.

I knew it.

Cast Oh Miyong and
get things moving.

Sir?

I didn't expect her to do the movie.

I just wanted to throw
a wrench in Kitae's movie.

Litigation can't help but
hurt their film at the box office.

Taeyang Pictures.

Yes, sir.

On my way. Right.

As expected, Jonghye refused
so we're going to court.

I'll keep up the pressure
on Kitae's movie.

I'll leave that to you.

I wanted to see you
to talk about the past.

Back in Sunyang, when I won you
and Suhyok to my side...

I truly felt like Liu Bang founding China's
Han dynasty with his people.

But in time the two of you
betrayed me.

And I got cynical.

I'm sorry.

I'm not telling you this
to hear you're sorry.

People may look at me and think
I'm a success, but I know better.

I've raised millions for the party,

I have the confidence of
the country's de facto ruler.

But no one knows how alone I am.

All this success...

and no one I can trust.

If I have no one to cry for me,
no one to live for me...

I'm no success, I'm a failure.

No, my life is yours, sir.

I know I let you down, but if you can
trust me, I'll never betray you again.

I'm truly sorry for what I did.

Forgive me, sir.
Trust me.

Get up.

Now.

I'll trust you. With my confidences
and my business.

My life is yours, sir.

Kitae.

Give us a minute.

Okay.

Isn't it time to speak up?

Acting suspiciously, forging Jonghye's
seal on a contract, meeting with Jang...

Why did you do it?

Any excuse will do.

Well?

Our coincidental meeting in Tokyo
was no coincidence.

I was working for Lee Hyonsu.

I was trying to get ahead,
that much was true.

But more...

I did what I had to do to survive.

Lee sent you to Jang, too?

You only know Mr. Lee's public facade.

There's a reason he has
the Yakuza helping him succeed.

He's a lot scarier than you think.

If he's against it,
forget marrying Jonghye.

I really mean that.
Really.

Hello.

- A new routine?
- Yes.

Kind of dull.

You said it, sister.

They got no soul.

Check this out.

This is sexy, see?

And this, powerful, see?
Power, okay?

Hyebin's dancing is all that.

Miss Yu.
I'm SUCH a fan.

You're Seven Stars singers?

Yes.
The Purple Sisters.

You're even lovelier in person.
Like a porcelain doll.

Hm? What are you doing here?
Come to the office.

I missed the old rehearsal hall.

Eh, it's the same as always.

Hey, did you say hello?

Doing all right?

Sure, I guess...

Oh, there's no time for this.
We need a costume and a song.

- Let's go to my office.
- Okay.

- Back to it.
- See you soon.

Talk about snooty.
How long has she been like that?

Forever.
No class at all.

If you sing, you sing, dance, you dance.
You got it all.

What's Miss Snooty got that
you don't got?

If you were a little taller,
a little prettier...

then we'd see who the biggest star is.

- Am I right or am I right?
- Uh-huh.

I'm not quite sure how to take that.

Just plain talk between sisters.

- Hello.
- Where have you been?

Prepping the Show.
Why?

Jang is looking for you.
He's called three times.

- Sit here.
- Okay.

I want to ask you for a favor.

Go on.

I'm bringing an important investor
from Japan to Mago.

I hope you'll treat him just so.

That's more in line
with Madame Yun's Venus.

I need a place with class.

Lee Hyonsu is a big man in Japan.
I'm counting on you.

He can be a good friend
to both of us.

- All right, we'll be ready.
- Thank you.

Chaeyong.
Well? What did he say?

He has a guest he wants
treated just so.

General Jeong?

No, from Japan.
Lee Hyonsu.

What?

Why?
You know him?

He's Jonghye's father.

Kitae and Jonghye's meet-the-parents
evening was a bust cause of him.

Win him over and Kitae and Jonghye
will be through for good.

Don't talk foolishness.

But why is that old snake
Jang bringing him here?

Welcome. Mr. Jang is waiting.
This way.

- Good evening.
- Hello.

You.

It's been a while.

I understand you had
some trouble in Japan.

He works with me now.
There will be no more trouble.

He's done with Kitae.
He'll be running my slot machines.

He may be of use to you.
Let bygones be bygones.

- Please, take a seat.
- All right.

- Go on, drink, drink.
- Okay.

Yu Chaeyong is one of the
biggest names in Korean music.

She's releasing a new album soon.

I've been out of touch for a while.
Sorry.

Not at all.

You're Lee Jonghye's father?

Me and Jonghye are like that.
We were on the road together.

Is that so?
Anything you can do for my girl.

She's Korea's biggest movie star.
I should ask HER for help.

Pardon me.

I read your proposal.

Slot machine licenses
are a complicated process.

It will take some time.

If licenses are the problem
I can help with that.

To our satisfaction.

Help? How?

Cha Suhyok.

Ah, you know him.

He was your aide at one time.

I met him.
A bright young man.

Yes, sir.
I suppose so.

But there's something
you should know.

Be careful of Cha Suhyok.

Why?

He has a history of betrayal.
Even with me.

Get too close and he'll do you
more harm than good.

I'm not entirely helpless
when it comes to reading people.

I met him and I think he's reliable.

But I appreciate your input.

You have singers on
the Color TV Open Show?

Uh-huh.

With color broadcasts coming in,
everyone wants flashy, fancy costumes.

Color broadcasts?

Starting tomorrow.
Didn't you know?

Really?
How neat.

Color television, who knew?

Do we have a color TV?

I'll get you one as
a housewarming gift.

I have to pay my way somehow,
right?

Listen to you. When did I say
you had to pay your way?

You shouldn't have to.
I should.

Oh, you really shouldn't.
Hee-hee.

What's this?

Money I've put aside from
the duck factory deal.

Use it for your business.

Come on, forget it.
Put it in savings.

I'll just fritter it away.

I'm investing in my son.
There you go.

I swear.

You see Lee Hyonsu?

Yes.

You didn't say anything
so I guess it didn't go well.

Some things can't be rushed.
It's not an easy fix.

Nothing worthwhile ever is.

- Hello.
- Dongchol, it's been too long.

What have you got?

Well...
I found Han Jipyong's old crew.

Where?

I'll show you.

There.

Mr. Han's wife set up shop here
in the market.

Yun Sangman is helping her.

I'm such a jerk.

Thanks, now!

Here.

I should have looked you up.
Sorry.

Forget it.

We all heard how you took a hit for
Mr. Han and had to bolt for Japan.

The others?

Split up.
I stuck with Mrs. Han.

Here.

I'll look after Mrs. Han.
Use that to get the men together.

There's something I need help with.

I understand.
I'll see who I can round up.

Can we talk?

Not if it's about Kitae.

Father.

It's not just our history
that bothers me.

I know all I need to know about him.

It's one thing after another with him.

His father accused
of Communist sympathies,

Kitae himself busting out of prison.

What father would want
a bum like that?

Jang Cholhwan did
all that to hurt him.

Kitae isn't the problem. It's you,
because you want to work with Jang.

- Who is it?
- Cha Suhyok.

Jonghye, it's Suhyok.

I'm not in.

I invited him over.

Gyongsuk, open the door.

- Hello. Take a seat.
- Sir.

I'll leave you to talk.

Stay a minute.

I appreciate your valuable time.

Not at all.
The information you wanted.

I know it wasn't easy.
Thank you.

I'll take care of the slot machine
licenses for you.

You're a great help to me.

From Japan, sir.

- Pardon me a moment.
- Sir.

What do you think you're doing?

I'm just trying to help your father.

It won't change anything.

I suspect your father has other ideas.

I won't let you go.

...waiting outside...
outside your apartment...

Apartment! Woohoo!

- Cheers.
- Cheers!

Excellent.

You ever hear this?

Fill your mind with great thoughts.

To be a hero, think like a hero.

That's my favorite saying.

I never lost sight of my vision,
not once.

Here, with all of you, I'm closer to
realizing my vision than ever before.

You're already a hero.

Presidents may come and go, but
you're always there, behind the scenes.

General Jeong is the president by day.
But you're the president by night.

- Give him a hand.
- Hear, hear.

Thank you, thank you, very nice.

Day presidents come and go...

but the night president never changes.

A drink, a drink.

Good, good, good.

You like my lipstick?

Here, another drink.

What's going on?

I haven't heard from you for days.
You know how worried I've been?

It's not biggie.

No biggie? Everyone says
you betrayed Mr. Kang.

You never, right?
It's a lie?

Why don't you answer?
Did you betray him?

Sometimes you don't have a choice.

I could use a little understanding.

Mr. Jo.

What?
Sunny Boys?

Sure.
They have the chops.

I'm not denying that,
but they're awfully green.

Trust me on this.

It's me.
Get the Sunny Boys into rehearsal.

Yeah, you heard me,
so cut the sass. Just do it.

This is your decision.
If they flop, don't lay it on me.

Fine, it's on me.

Kitae, Sangman is here.

- Send him in.
- Right.

I called the boys together.
You want to talk to them?

No, that's fine.

They all want to avenge
Mr. Han's death.

We appreciate the work.

This is my way of paying
what I owe to Mr. Han.

Mr. Han, it's been a while.

Hey, where are your manners?

Don't just sit there, stand up,
show some respect.

Everything depends on
how you work the camera.

You've got take it, make it yours,
got that?

- Sir.
- Sir.

- Oh, hey.
- Chaeyong?

Make-up.

- Mr. Kang?
- He'll be here.

I hope you two don't mess this up.

I'd be happier with the Purple Sisters.

Don't you trust me by now?

Thirty years in the business,
these guys, they're my hidden card.

They'll turn all of Korea on it's head,
just you wait.

- Chaeyong.
- Hey there.

Whoa.
Whoa, now THAT's out Chaeyong.

Woohoo!

I'm so nervous.

What does Yu Chaeyong
have to worry about, huh?

You'll burn up that color TV, seriously.

Time.
Sunny Boys, places.

Break a leg.

1, 2, 3, fighting!
Let's go.

Break a leg!

They're gonna flop.

Now for our first act on this historic
Color Television Open Show.

A unique act in perfect harmony.

We give you... Sunny Boys!

Someday I'll have my rainbow

My day will come

Age is a number,
let's get started

Live for tomorrow,
live for our dreams

I met her today,
Bling-bling, so purtiful

I'm a great guy,
if only I weren't so ugly

- Mr. Kang.
- Well?

Excellent.

Wait, I told them
to look at the camera.

The world puts me down,
I get up again

I'll live for tomorrow

I won't fall down again,
I'll make my love real

The future is mine

Someday I'll have my rainbow

My day will come

Age is a number,
let's get started

Live for tomorrow,
live for our dreams

Someday I'll have my rainbow

My day will come

Age is a number,
let's get started

Live for tomorrow,
live for our dreams

Ma'am, it's on, hurry up.

These guys work for Mr. Kitae.

How do you know that?

Mr. Dongchol told me.
Chaeyong will be on, too.

Really?

Oh, this color is so exciting.

Don't you think so?

Not so much.
I saw lots of color in Japan.

Uh-huh.

What, they picked them over US?

I know, right. Skinny, chunky,
ugly heads, the pair of them.

You look MUCH better.

And, um, you sing bestest, too.

What's going on here?

What are you doing here?
Beat it.

Still counting on Jo Taesu, huh?

- Count on THIS..!
- Just talk, talk, okay?

Talk THIS!

What's that about?

Where's Mr. Kang.

Get out.
Then we'll talk.

Let's go.

Kang Kitae?

He's busy, so he sent me.

He said to say we can't accept
your terms.

Huh.

Kang Kitae sure does talk big.

For a stinking coward.

Hold onto chubby here
till Kitae shows up.

Yes, sir.

Stop.

Who are you?

Han Jipyong's boys.

What?

Stop them.

Get ‘em!

And now for tonight's big finale.

Korea's own dancing queen.

She left the stage for a while,
but tonight on our Color TV Open Show...

she makes her comeback.

We invite you to the beautiful world
of our special guest...

A big hand for Korea's own
Yu Chaeyong.

Just the two of us, all alone

Time alone to talk

About meetings.. and partings...

This song that means so much to me

A love that came from nowhere

With so much left to say

Dripping, dripping, flows the rain

Dropping, dropping by to see me

Now that's a star.

She lights up the stage.

Even better on color television.

Don't leave, never leave me

That was when my heart broke

A wound that will never heal

Dripping, dripping, flows the rain

Dropping, dropping by to see me

I'll say it one last time

Don't leave, never leave me

What?
Pak Dochol lost?

Yes, sir.

Who did it? Jo Taesu's out.
Who did Kitae get?

He called up Han Jipyong's old crew.

What, Han Jipyong?

Yes, sir.

Now we're losing to dead guys?

Tell Jo Taesu we need to talk.

Sir.

Don't let it bother you.
We can use Jo Taesu for this.

You looked great on-stage.

You're at your loveliest
when you're performing.

I'm glad to hear it,
I was so nervous.

If you're making a comeback,
what about being a lobbyist?

I can do both.

That kind of thing takes years anyway.

Oh, Mr. Jang brought Jonghye's
father to Mago the other day.

They talked over business. Suhyok will
be a sore spot between then, I think.

Cha Suhyok?

Yes. Jang said to watch him.

I got the impression that Jonghye's
father likes him.

I think Suhyok will be a
good way to drive them apart.

I hope that helps you.

Seems like you're always helping me.

I'm sure you'll return
the favor someday.

Mr. Kang, we're a hit, a hit!

The Sunny Boys stole the show.

“Who are these guys?” The studio
switchboard was flooded with calls.

We're swamped with rush orders
for their album.

Thirty years,
I've never seen the like.

Thirty years,
your hidden card, huh?

Sangtaek,
when you say it, it's so.

Well, about that,
it wasn't really my decision.

It was Mr. Kang.

What?

I said they were too young
but Mr. Kang insisted.

I was all for Hyebin,
but he pushed the Sunny Boys.

He's got the knack,
I'm tellin' ya.

Well, well, heh-heh!

Now my secret is out.

Tonight drinks are on me.

Amen, brother!

Sit.

Well done.

You missed Pak Dochol getting his.
It's a shame.

He won't be back here again.

Thank you for the chance
to avenge Mr. Han.

We serve you now, sir.

No, please, not that way.

I want everything legal
and above board.

We'll find work for all of you.

Any troubles,
you let me know.

Thank you.

Look at you.

Pretty pathetic for a so-called tough guy.
What good are you, huh?

I'm sorry. Sorry, sorry! I hate sorry
worse than anything. Sorry for what?

Out, get out.
I said out! Out, out!

- I'm sorry.
- Out!

Worthless, I swear!

Argh.

Sit, sit.

What is it?

We have a job for you.

Well?

Kang Kitae is backed
by Han Jipyong's old crew.

Deal with it.

You want me to hit Mr. Kang?

Why not?

We're in the same boat now.

Can't you do this for me?

I run your slots for you.

Not your personal affairs.

What?

I took my boys out of the
Victoria and New Seoul for you.

That's all you get.

Now, now,
no need to get all feisty.

You're my man, aren't you?

I never said I'm your man.

I'll say it again.
We're in business together.

If that doesn't suit you, now's the time
to say so. We'll end it here.

Ugh, mobsters.

You say this now?

Well, if that's all,
I'll be going.

Hey, hey, Jo Taesu!
Come back here!

- Rude little--!
- Calm down.

Calm down? Jo Taesu!
Get him back here!

I can't trust Jo Taesu.
Fire him.

Don't let emotion get the best of you.

No one can run lots like
Jo Taesu's organization.

Firing him now will only hurt you.

ARGH!

Ugh.

What the..?
What's that noise?

What's with the noise next door?

Tell them to keep it down.

It's Kang Kitae and his Bitnara players.

They're celebrating their success
on the Color TV Open Show.

With Chaeyong.

What?
Tell Kitae I want to see him.

Sir.

Well? Go!

Sir.

What are you going to do?

I won't let him off so easy.

I'll teach him for insulting ME.

Well, well, I thought you were alone.
Myongguk, what a treat.

What did you want?

Oh, you had a nice bit of success,
but don't let it go to your head.

Round One isn't even over yet.

Way ahead of you.
I'm ready for Round Two.

This time I'll make the first move.

Jo Myongguk.

Drop the law suit and tear up
Lee Jonghye's contract.

And Mr. Jang.

Stay away from Lee Hyonsu.

If you don't do as I say...

be ready for me to make
the final blow.

So what is this “final blow,”
may I ask?

Pssh.
Like I'd tell you?

What the heck, why not?

My final blow is this.

What would you say to my lighting

...the fuse to the bombs you
set in the money market?

When those bombs go...

you, Myongguk,
you'll both go up with them.

Am I wrong?

You...

You!
