[Episode 59]

And where have you been?

I beg your pardon.
Personal business.

A manager on personal business
would explain a lot.

You know why this hotel
is at 60% occupancy?

Because you run a 4-star hotel
like a no-tell motel.

As of today we're overhauling
the whole system.

- The lobby, lounge, interiors, everything.
- Ma'am.

The restaurant's food is bland.

- Find a new chef.
- Yes, ma'am.

Mr. Kim.

I know how busy you are.
Sorry for the imposition.

Not at all.

We prepared your office.
Why don't you use it?

Why when I know I can
rely on you for everything?

I hope I can live up
to your expectations.

I can never take Kitae's place.

You know what I like about him?

He sticks to what he's good at.
He doesn't get too greedy.

I'm thinking you have a knack for
hotel management that he lacks.

Thank you.

We're renovating the interiors and
overhauling the whole system.

It's a bit chaotic at present,
but we'll get a handle on it.

I already saw the difference
when I came in.

- We need your signature.
- Hm.

Hyebin and Jihye's duet is out.

Want to hear it?

How is it?

Fantastic.

They're perfect together,
you were right about that.

MBS wants you as one of
the music festival judges.

Respectfully decline.

They don't ask just anyone.
Why not?

Next time.

When is Jang Cholhwan's
final hearing?

Next week.

Yes, Kang Kitae.

What?

When?

- What?
- Jonghye is worse.

Oxygen. Oxygen.

How is she?

We lost her pulse.
Please wait outside.

- Kitae.
- Oh.

- Father.
- How is she?

We don't know yet.

Well?

Her vitals have returned to normal
but we're not out of the woods yet.

We need to keep her
under observation.

He'll try for a reduced sentence,
but he's likely to get life.

I was wondering about that.
Next week already.

He should be brought to justice
for what he did to you and Jonghye.

I wanted to talk to you.

Please.

You don't need to feel guilty
over Jonghye.

Let the law handle Jang.

We don't know when she'll wake up
but you're walking around like a zombie.

Forget her and get on with your life.

I don't stay with her
out of obligation or guilt.

Listen...

You'll pardon me if I pretend
I didn't hear that.

You know,
for a guy with nothing to do...

you sure are creepy pouty boy.

I can't be happy while
Jonghye is in a coma.

How long will you stay on leave?

The President asked
after you yesterday.

I don't know.

You'd better make it soon.

Why?

Jang is being sentenced next week.
Something's not right.

How so?

He's appealing, of course,
we can guess that much.

Maybe even a mistrial.
He could be released.

- That makes no sense.
- Has the world ever?

Sorry I reek of liquor.
I had a few with your dad.

How long you going to sleep?

Maybe I should carry on.

Oh, you don't think I will?
Like I'll just sit here mooning over you?

Well, okay, you got me there.

Now that you know, wake up.

Wake up and I'll keep every promise
I ever made you, every one.

A picture at the Sunyang Theater,
a baby like you wanted...

We've got a lot to do,
so wake up, okay?

Ah. Please.

You coming to my boutique opening?

Ah, today?
I'm due at the studio.

You'll have to be late.

Busy or not, she's your sister
and you're going, mister.

Yes'm.

Let me know if you need anything.
As an open house present.

Okay.

My gift will be sending our artists your
way, you know, to promote your shop.

Ri-i-ight.
How about a car instead?

Listen to you.
Like you can drive?

Can, too.
I'll buy my own, then, so there.

Oh, you two.

- Welcome back.
- Thanks.

You see the President?

Mm, just now.

Now to work.

Jang's trial records.

You should be able
to spot what's wrong.

Sir,
a Kim Yongjin called for you.

Kim Yongjin?
Never heard of him.

Jang's attorney.
Why would he call you?

Yes, Cha Suhyok.
You called?

Sorry I'm late.

We just got here ourselves.

How is Jonghye?
The crisis has passed?

Yes, she's stable for now.

What did you want?

News that would please Jonghye.

What?

She's been nominated for best actress
at the Grand Bell Awards.

It's quite an honor.

Really?

Yes.

That is good news.

We all hope she recovers by then...

but if she doesn't,
you'll have to accept for her.

I know that.

The next film on schedule?

Of course. Forget the Grand Bell.
Next stop, Cannes.

I look forward to it.

Visitor.

Judging from how you're
trying to act so calm...

I'd say you've had a change of heart.

You're calmer than one might think.

To the outside world, sure.

But I know I'm getting out of here.

You may as well give up
the appeal now.

I'll never let you walk out of here.

In which case I have no
reason to keep quiet.

How will Kitae react to knowing you
were involved in Jonghye's accident?

Don't say her name.

You hurt her.

You put her in that hospital bed.

Considering how angry you are,
I wonder how angry Kitae will be?

I'm safe in prison.

But you, well, he can kill you.

We've been in the same boat
since the moment we cut our deal.

If you want me quiet you'll use that head
of yours to come up with something.

Clear?

So this "You and Kang"...
you're the Kang?

Mm-hm.

Thank you for helping my poor
little girl along, Monsieur Pierre.

Not at all.
What did I always tell you?

I'd help her open a shop after she
learned all she could from me.

It's not entirely mine.

Is that a problem?

You think it's easy to get
your name alongside mine?

You should be honored.

Yes, I am.

Pierre.

Hey, you two.

Hey. Oh, hello.
It's been a while.

Too, too long, Chaeyong.
You just keep getting prettier.

Thank you.

For you.
Congratulations.

Thank you.

How is Lee Jonghye?

Still unconscious, I'm afraid.

No idea when she'll recover?

None. I hear Mr. Kang is with her
every minute of every day.

Now that's true love for you.

You were in love with him.
How about now?

With him, even a one-sided
love is better than nothing.

You're right. I know I kept pushing you
to weasel in between them.

But I was wrong.

No one can get between
a love like that.

Kitae, your mother.

Oh, what brings you here?

I was at Myonghi's boutique
and didn't see you, so here I am.

- Please.
- Hm.

- Mother, tea?
- No, thank you.

I'll leave you to talk.

What?
Something on your mind?

Hm?
Not really, just...

Come on, it's something,
I can see it on your face.

Just say it.

Pssh, on my face...

Listen, about Jonghye...
Any idea when she'll wake up?

No.

I've heard some people stay
in a coma for years.

- How long will you...?
- Until she wakes up.

I understand your concern,
but leave it alone.

I'll wait until she wakes up.
Then I'll marry her.

I hope she does.
She's lucky to have you.

My boy is quite a man.

- Someone to see you.
- Who?

Jang Cholhwan's attorney.

Make it quick.

Mr. Jang asks that you go to visit him.

- Visit?
- Yes.

What, he's summoning him now?

He's got some nerve, I swear.

Forget it. Get out.

You heard my friend.

Ahem... It has to do with Lee Jonghye.
You really should go.

Reputable lenders
won't take our calls.

If we don't offer better terms
than Song Mijin,

we'll end up losing our
distribution rights.

Better terms?

Fine, use a loan shark,
just get those rights.

Sir, that's too dangerous.

Even if we get the rights
using a loan shark...

if we have another flop...

the damage will be irreversible.

Should we just do nothing?

I heard Cha Suhyok is
back in the Blue House.

Suhyok?

Yes.
Ask him for help.

That would be way out of line.
I have some pride.

You can't afford pride right now.

You have nothing to lose,
you can't fall any further. Why not?

Use this opportunity or kiss
the movie business goodbye.

All right.
Set up a meeting.

Sir.

As you know, the President is
set on getting the Olympics bid.

If we don't do something drastic,
we're all in trouble.

What are our chances?

I'd say 10%, if that.
It's a pipe dream.

Perhaps if we explained
the realities to the President?

Have you forgotten
who we're talking about?

If we don't attract the Olympics
Committee, heads will roll.

Any ideas?

I'll look over our options
and prepare a report.

Get me the files on the Olympics
from the last administration.

And the names of the IOC members
that were in favor of South Korea.

Jang has asked Kang Kitae
to come see him.

What?

What's he up to now?
Any ideas?

Considering how angry you are,
I wonder how angry Kitae will be?

I'm safe in prison.
But you, well, he can kill you.

Sir, Jo Myongguk.

Send him in.

It's been too long.

Uh-huh.

I'll find out what Jang is up to.

Sit.

- I appreciate your time.
- What do you want?

Ah, well...

Could we go get a drink somewhere?

There's a lot I want to discuss.

Then go talk to Jang Cholhwan.

We have nothing to discuss.

Suhyok.

You're lucky you're not
in a cell with him.

I have nothing to say to you.
Don't call me again.

Wait...

You like the new song?

Yes, very much.

So does Jihye.

You've got the company behind you.
Show your stuff.

kay.

Where is Jihye anyway?

Hello.

Don't you have a watch?

Sorry.
I was looking over costumes.

Have you eaten?

Nope, not yet.

I got some sausage and such.
Want some?

Sausage?
Yeah, baby!

Yummy.

Sausage, how I've missed you.
Yum.

But in Pusan they serve it
with bean paste.

These are kinda blah.
Weird.

What's weird?
They're good.

I hate the way Kwangju people ladle
sugar on white beans and noodles.

THAT'S weird.

I like my noodle beans salty.

You kidding?
Sugar brings out the flavor.

Dig in.

- Eat.
- It's good.

What the..?
You sick?

No...

Sorry...

What was that?

You think she's knocked up?

Blech... Yep,
that's morning sickness for you.

Bite your tongues, the both of you.

You can't knock up a virgin.

Mr. No, c'mon, everyone knows
about her and Jo Taesu.

Virgin, yeah, good one.

Uh-oh, what about your new song?

What are you thinking about?

About visiting Jang.

Forget it.

I'm trying. But I keep thinking
about Jonghye.

Ugh. Whatever.

- Call the lawyer and tell him I'll go.
- Okay.

I didn't expect you to come.
Thank you for accepting my request.

Just get to the point.
How does this involve Jonghye?

How is Miss Lee?

What gives you the right to ask?

You're right.
I have no right, none at all.

You may not believe it,
but I've had a lot of time to think.

I never meant to hurt Miss Lee.

You think that makes
any difference now?

Is that why you asked to see me?

What can I say so...
so you will believe me?

Nothing, so don't bother.

I asked you here to
beg your forgiveness.

Please forgive me.

Every night I pray
that she will recover.

Please, please believe me.

Maybe you mean it, maybe you don't,
but I'll never forgive you.

I'm going.

Suhyok knows I had a visitor today?

Yes, I'm sure he does, sir.

Perfect.

All right.
Keep us informed of any visitors.

It was Kang Kitae.

I want to know what
they talked about.

Or course. The guards
wouldn't leave him alone.

There should be a record.

Hosting the Olympics
will be nearly impossible.

The Ministry of Finance thinks so,
and so do I.

I know that much, but the President
is the one that matters.

He is set on making
a bid for the games.

It's up to us to find a way
to convince the IOC.

Japan has the committee looking
at Nagoya already.

We've got to display that
we're just as capable as they are.

The last administration had
a man that courted the IOC.

I think we should make use of him.

You mean Jang Cholhwan?

Yes, exactly.

Absolutely not. He's on trial
for fraud even as we speak.

How could we entrust him with this?

I agree with Mr. Cha here.

We can't grant Jang a pardon for this.

The President cares a whole lot
more about the Olympics...

than Jang Cholhwan.

If there's no other way...

we'll have to use Jang,
if that's what it takes.

Jang may be released?
What are you saying?

The current administration is
committed to the '88 Olympic project.

Jang had a lot of contacts in the IOC
during the last administration.

They'll use him to win
the bid if they can.

Jang cost the economy hundreds
of millions of dollars.

And three or four times
that in fall-out costs.

All that's left is his sentencing and
they want a scum like that in charge?

In politics, they can make the guilty
innocent and the innocent guilty.

Jang isn't just guilty of fraud.

He tried to have me killed and
put Jonghye in the hospital.

I feel the same as you.
I never would have seen this coming.

I'll do all I can to stop it,
but things don't look promising.

Hello.

I appreciate you doing this.

Forget it. Enjoy your visit.

Thanks.

It's nice outside.

I have good news and bad news.
Which do you want?

Good news first.

You're up for Best Actress.
Good for you.

You'd better be up and
about for the ceremony.

Otherwise I'll be stuck
making the speech for you.

Now the bad nows.

Jang Cholhwan may go free.

He asked to see me. Got on his knees,
crying, begging, the whole bit.

But I know him.
He's up to something.

He won't get away with doing this to you.
I won't let him, don't worry, Jonghye.

Are you kidding?
How can they release him?

Nationalistic blather or not,
this is just too much.

She's still in a coma and they want
to put the guy who did it in charge?

I didn't...

I didn't kill him because I thought a
quick death was too good for him.

Far too good for the likes of him.

We've got to stop this,
whatever it takes.

How?

Find Jon Insu.

Jon Insu?

There's a reason Jang had him
try to kill me.

I want to know why.

What?
Kitae is looking for Jon Insu?

Yes, sir. He must know
you may get a pardon.

He means to have you
stand trial for murder.

Doesn't he ever give up?
Where's Jon now?

In hiding.
Not to worry, sir.

They know what he looks like?

Yes, sir.

Right. I want you to stop
whatever you're doing

...and concentrate on this Jon Insu guy.

We need him fast, so use your
connections if you have to.

Understood?

- Yes, sir.
- Good. Now, go.

Oh. Well?

The President may accept
Mr. Yun's proposal.

If Jang pulls this off, he may be
the scariest guy I've ever met.

Everyone thought he was dead
and he gets out?

Why did I come back?

This works out for you.

Now you can stop him
from tripping you up.

He's out, whatever the reason,
so he can't hurt you anymore.

Jonghye is still in a coma.

I won't let him get off Scott-free.

You're lucky you're
not in a cell with him.

I have nothing to say to you.
Don't call me again.

Sir, did you hear they
may be releasing Mr. Jang?

Come off it.
Why would they do that?

I couldn't say,
but I know it's not a rumor.

- Yes.
- It's me, Kitae.

What?

Can you spare me a minute?
I need to tell you something.

I appreciate your time.

Drink?

What is it?

I just wanted to have a drink.

I've been thinking about the old days.

I can't turn back the clock, but if I could,
I'd go back to the Sunyang days.

We can't go back, but if you want, we
can be brothers like we used to be.

We can forget all the old hurts
and start over.

I could never ask that, not after all
I did to you and your late father.

Jang Cholhwan may go free.

If you mean what you're saying,
Jang won't stand for it.

I'm not afraid of that.

I'm backed into a corner
thanks to him.

If I could, I'd get back everything
he took from me.

Myongguk.

You know I like things simple,
no complications.

I'm not going to worry on
why you're saying this now.

If you mean it, if you want to be
brothers like the old days...

I'm glad to have you.

Kitae.

After all that sleazy Jo Myong-gunk
did to us, you're taking him back?

Bad idea, Kitae.

I've only know him for a short time,
but I can tell you this...

Myongguk is bad for you.

I understand your concerns.
You'll have to trust me.

Why?
Why do we gotta?

Whenever I think of the past,
what hurts the most...

is the people I've lost.

My closest friend Suhyok. And a man
that was like a brother, Myongguk.

Anything I can do to
get them back, I'll do it.

Just do as I ask.

We'll let you have the distribution rights
we hold in Kyongi and Kangwon.

Thank you.
I'll do all I can to protect your interests.

I don't know how you managed to
convince Mr. Kang,

but I still don't trust you.

You still have to convince me
that you're not up to something.

I understand.
My actions will speak louder than words.

Who are you?

Get him.

What are you..?
What is this?

Getting him out of
the country won't do.

Kitae will find Jon Insu
wherever he goes.

What are your orders?

The dead don't talk.

Why...
Why are you doing this?

Do it.

Do it?
Do what exactly?

Insu, if you live, we all die.

Sorry.

No, no, don't, please,
don't... no... No..!

Who are you?
What--?

Jonghye, Jonghye!

Jonghye!

Nurse, nurse!

Jonghye...

I heard he might be leaving the country,
but no luck.

Jo Taesu's boys haven't found him,
either.

Yes.

Kitae, Jonghye is awake.
She's back.

Kitae.

She's awake?

Yes.

Jonghye, it's Kitae.

Jonghye...

Jonghye, it's me.
Do you know me?

Jonghye... It's me.

It's all right... it's all right...

She's awake,
but there are complications.

Complications?
She's still in danger?

Not that...
She's paralyzed from the waist down.

We'll try physical therapy, but it will be
difficult for her to lead a normal life.

But she's out of danger,
she'll live?

Yes.

That's good. Thank you.
Thank you, doctor.

- Cha Suhyok.
- This is the Municipal Hospital.

You asked us to call with
any news on Lee Jonghye.

- Has something happened?
- Miss Lee regained consciousness.

- You're sure?
- Yes.

I'm sorry, Mother.

Oh, no, you're awake,
that's all that matters.

Thank you, sweetie.
Thank you, thank you.

You must be starving after living off
of IVs for so long.

Mom will whip you up the good stuff.

What would you like?
Just say the word.

Jonghye.

Father.

Thank goodness.
Thank goodness.

Jonghye.

You had your baby.

Yeah, you missed it.

It went all right.
I'll bring my baby next time.

You never gave up.
Thank you.

Not at all.

Lee Dongchun with the KCIA was here.

He said they may let
Jang Cholhwan go.

They may what?

I didn't get the details,
but it wasn't just talk.

- Mr. Shin for you.
- Oh.

It's me.

Really?

Oh, uh-uh,
I got it, bye... bye!

Chaeyong.

Jonghye is awake.
She regained consciousness.

Really?

Shin just called from the hospital.

How is she?

Oh, I forgot to ask.
But I'm sure she's fine.

Kitae must be so happy.
I'm glad, truly I am.

- We should go see her.
- Okay. Tomorrow.

Um, Kitae...

Cha Suhyok is outside.

Suhyok?

What should I say?

Let him in.

Okay.

There he is.

Welcome back.

Welcome back, sir.

Let's go.
