Powerful Opponents
Episode 4
What's up?
What happened?
Five minutes ago, Cha Young Jin made an emergency call.
I guess Number 3 must be in trouble again.
These punks!
Miss, you're quite something.
My name is not 'Miss',
I am a Presidential Guard for the Republic of Korea, Cha Young Jin.
Ah! So you make pretences around the President?
Maybe some pretences but at the same time, I'm betting my own reputation and life on it.
What kind of era are we in now? Why are you betting your life on this stuff?
So naive.
I'd explain but you still wouldn't understand,
To us, the President is the will of the people.
Majority of our citizens who have voted him in will protect him too.
Maybe it sounds naive to you,
But it's enough for me to sacrifice my life.
Aren't you a fool?
I'm better off as a fool with conviction than a fool without!
Su Ho, wake up.
Su Ho!
This is Swallow 3, there's a crisis here.
Please call 119.
He's not breathing.
I said he's not breathing!
This Miss really has a stubborn temper.
I told you I'm not 'Miss',
I am a Presidential Guard for the Republic of Korea, Cha Young Jin.
Go back and tell Kang Su Ho,
If we ever see him again, he's dead.
For the sake of a pitiful idiot here, I'll let him off this time.
So this piece of rubbish here without conviction, is going to make an exit now.
Go back and protect the President well,
Miss Presidential Guard!
What trouble have you gotten yourselves into now?
Where's Su Ho?
He's inside.
Explain yourselves.
When? Where? Who? What? How? Why?
Report it to me in detail without missing a word.
What happened? What happened exactly?
That's enough, we'll listen to that later.
This is not something to be pushed out till later.
We have to find out what happened so that...
Can't you see with your eyes that these juniors have injured themselves?
They are already so badly hurt,
'Are you alright?', 'Are you badly hurt?' It's only natural you should be asking that first.
As a boss,
if you don't even possess such basics, what are you good for?
It's alright, Chief.
We're not badly hurt.
Shut up, you're noisy!
Yes.
Treatment first, question later.
Do you understand?
Sunbae*! (*senior)
Didn't you hear Chief Pyo?
He said you should get treated first.
But Nam Sunbae looked so angry....
Get yourself treated first, girl!
From now on, I'll do the backup support.
You be in charge of getting the target away,
I'll handle the combat at the back.
What's up with you?
Don't tell me just because of this little injury, you're looking down on me?
That's not it.
If not then again it's because I'm a girl, you can't trust me?
- I told you that's not it. - Then what is it?
Leaving you behind and I get myself away,
That makes me feel bad.
So from now on, I'll do the backup support.
Let's just do that.
Episode 4 Trouble Maker
Su Ho!
You're back, Mom.
What is this? What happened to him?
He had a sudden flare-up.
Again?
Luckily, he's not injured otherwise, so I brought him back home.
Why didn't you let them observe him at the hospital for a few more days?
He ran into trouble when he was having fun at the nightclub last night,
So I thought it's better at home than in the hospital.
Was he in a fight again?
When will you stop being like this?
He was such a kind and obedient child,
I really don't understand why he's so hard on himself.
Su Ho... has he been upset about something recently?
The stress indicator is extremely high, And his brain signals are very unstable too.
It feels like he's under some mental duress.
How is Su Ho doing now?
You don't have to worry. He's alright.
Could it be...?
This is due to that incident back then?
Su Ho's... sudden flare-up, Is it due to the previous injury?
I said it's alright, didn't you hear me?
Su Ho is fine. There is no problem at all.
So please do not interfere with our family matters.
Just do what you're supposed to do.
- Noona! - Stop calling me that.
I'm not your 'noona'.
The fate you had with our family has ended 8 years ago.
You being worried for Su Ho, calling me 'noona',
Such things should have ended back then.
Stop thinking that you can redeem something back now.
I don't wish to recall, all that happened in the past,
and that includes you, nothing to bring to mind.
Although I don't know your intentions for reappearing before us again,
But if you use that incident and plan to do something,
You'd better stop that dream.
If that happens, I won't let you off.
Do you understand?
Young Jin!
How did it happen?
Who was it? Who did this to my daughter's face?
How did you end up like this?
Young Jin, tell me, who was it?
I'll look for him and kill him for you.
There's no need for you to be mobilized.
Whoever it was, I'll kill him with my own hands.
Who was it? Just tell us.
No matter what, I was a war-decorated hero who fought in Vietnam,
For that kind of jerk, a hand grenade will do...
Your father was trained as a Commando,
It's just that I haven't received the enlistment order yet,
But don't look down on this future Marine, Noona!
For someone who's going to protect the country, how can I fail in protecting my own sister?
- Surely he can't. - Of course, that makes no sense.
You can stop this now,
Even when you do this, I won't soften my heart.
I won't repay your debt.
So, stop wasting your breath.
How is it she just can't see our sincerity?
She really has no clue.
So true, Grandpa.
Looking at her stance just now, she definitely won't repay our debt.
Yes, Father.
[I love you, my daughter, from your father.]
I said even with this, I won't soften my heart.
I surely won't repay that debt.
Why didn't she just try it on?
Go ahead of me.
Go, I said.
Yes? Cha Young Jin here.
This is Cha Young Jin.
- It's me. - Yes.
How are you doing? Are you alright?
But can you walk around so soon?
I'll leave now and get there within 30 minutes. I'll call you when I arrive.
Forget it.
What?
I was just checking to see if you died.
Don't have to come.
Gosh! What a problematic man! Really!
See, I told you!
Yes? Cha Young Jin here. Did you change your mind so quickly?
Got it, I'll leave right away.
I'll just be arriving when you change your mind again.
But I'll still make my way there now.
It's me, Young Jin. Oxygen.
What?
Who?
Pyoung Wook.
Oh, Pyoung Wook! Why did you call me at this hour?
I'm on duty tonight and I'm in the office now,
And so?
I'm looking at the internet reports now,
You're beating around the bush again.
Cut out the excuses, cut out the additional remarks,
Put the main points to me simply.
What is it? What's up?
You guys,
I think you're in big trouble now.
What?
From today onwards, you two are suspended.
What?
Don't tell me it's because of these reports?
What nightclub raid? By what security personnel?
There was definitely no such thing, these reports are nonsense.
Whether nonsensical or not, that decision will be made at the top.
Go now to the discussion room and write your reports.
Then wait there till further instruction.
This is unfair.
Last night, the two of us ensured the safety of our protectee to the best of our abilities,
But we didn't even get a chance to explain ourselves,
And we're punished with this suspension.
Totally unfair.
I'm of the same opinion.
Really your best effort?
Yes, our best effort.
Really your best effort?
Yes, really our best effort.
Then make sure nothing happens.
No matter what happens, the responsibility always falls back on us.
Just by letting it happen, your entourage* mission was a failure. (*accompany)
And that's not all,
It's not enough that your protectee's face is published on the internet,
Because of the incident last night,
He will be sued.
You think it's unfair?
Do you still dare say you did well?
Did you say there's a law suit?
Against who?
Su Ho...
Su Ho is being sued?
Yes. The nightclub in the incident last night is suing Su Ho.
It went to the Public Prosecutor's office so it can't be stopped.
First, we should get him a lawyer.
Within the morning, I will check the situation before proposing a strategy.
There's no need. Don't make it too complicated.
He committed it, he should be punished.
Since he's a citizen of Korea, he should be treated the same in the eyes of the law.
He shouldn't enjoy special treatment just because he's Su Ho.
Is that what I'm worried about?
It's the media frenzy, you know? Not over such matters....
We didn't bring up the children well,
If the child turns out like this, as his father I'm to blame.
For this matter,
Su Ho himself is at fault,
so let Su Ho solve it on his own.
That is my stand on this matter.
Yes, I understand what you're saying.
I have a meeting in ten minutes, I'll go now.
He refuses to accommodate and he's such a strict man,
He makes it so hard for people around him.
Well, it's no problem.
I think it's not a bad idea to face up to it directly instead.
What is 'to face up to it directly'?
To own up to one's mistakes frankly and to honestly ask for forgiveness.
Please do not worry.
Isn't there a saying, 'a good coming out of evil'?
We'll take this opportunity to change Su Ho's image,
That's not a bad idea.
The son of the President of Korea, Kang Su Ho,
Who is the suspect for a case of violence in a nightclub two days ago,
is just leaving the Prosecutor's office after being questioned for two hours.
How are the internet reports?
Reports on condemn vs support is 6:4.
The effect of personally owning up and asking for forgiveness is not bad, it seems.
It's not as bad as we imagined.
How are they reacting to him, Sunbae?
'He's so handsome', 'he's so cool'.
Everyone's praising him for his looks,
They're all making him out to be a top star.
If this continues, it may even give rise to a fan club!
That's how Su Ho is.
In secondary school, he was very popular amongst the girls.
Just to see his face,
Lots of them will gather outside the classroom at break time.
But Jeong Yu Min, how did you know these things?
We were in the same school.
Whatever the case, we got through this.
Right?
But, where did the two of them go? Why are you here personally?
Those two... the newbies from last week, my in-charge.
Do you mean Officer Cha Young Jin and Officer Yoo Gwan Pil?
Yes, that's right. Why don't I see them?
They are being suspended.
For allowing matters to get to that state,
Of course they have to take the corresponding punishment.
Soon, the outcome of what punishment will be made known.
Are you worried?
Worry?
Have you ever seen me worry for you guys?
Of course I didn't think so too.
Those two were getting on my nerves too, just as well.
On such a lovely Spring day, why must we... be wretchedly locked up in this discussion room?
Because we are being suspended.
But they told us to sort through this useless data, isn't that too much?
It's much better than to stand in punishment with hands raised up.
I was born to be an on-site person,
Making an on-site person sort through this data,
And what that's...?
It's no different from asking a fish to dig with a hammer.
Knowing internal affairs will help us carry out our job too.
Just take it like you're studying.
It's good for me?
You might just find your name recorded in the history annals here.
How about both our names?
Sitting here is harder and tougher than getting beaten up by those guys.
You... is it true?
What?
You were worried for me again just now, right?
No.
The other night at the emergency ward, you were worried for me too, right?
I wasn't.
Could it be, Yoo Gwan Pil, you...?
I what?
Could it be...
For me... what's that?
You've developed colleague-feelings for me?
Is that right?
I'm right, aren't I?
Hey, when did it start?
Since when did you start caring for me like a colleague?
Do you really want me to draw the line?
You're disturbing me.
Got it. I'm sorry.
Obnoxious.
Jinx.
But Yoo Gwan Pil,
It's the same for me,
If I left you behind alone, I'd be worried too.
I heard you were suspended?
Yes. That's correct.
But the ambience here seems pretty good.
Oh yes. Have you prepared your resignation letters?
You forgot?
Wasn't it a deal that you'd resign if you didn't last one week?
It's such a pity but you did get suspended on the sixth day.
Isn't this Game Over?
Since you didn't make it past one week, as we agreed, just resign...
Who was it?
Was it that big one or was it those dummies with him?
Who did that to you? Tell me now.
Tell me, I said!
So what if I did? Are you going to beat them up?
That is for me to decide.
Stop acting childish like a kid.
What?
Childish? Who's childish?
'You hit me? I'll hit you too'.
Isn't that what primary school kids do?
You're so handsome but yet everything you do is so bad.
Of course I understand you're saying it because you feel sorry,
But, as a bodyguard, there'll be occasions I get beaten up on behalf of someone,
Or get stoned by eggs on behalf of someone,
Or even take some bullets on behalf of someone.
That is our job. So...
So what?
The protectee shouldn't react to everything, and please do not get angry.
If you do that all the time, it will make our job very difficult.
And also,
And also what?
The data in this security office, must never be seen by outsiders.
Please do not freely touch this.
If someone sees it, things will get more complicated.
Now, can I ask that you leave?
We are currently in suspension.
Don't write it.
Don't write your resignation. Stay with me and protect me.
Whether you get punches or eggs or bullets,
I won't react to everything and I won't be sorry.
So keep on trying!
Let's see how long you can tough it out.
Wait and see!
This jerk! Is this...
Is he asking us to continue as his guards?
That's it, right?
But why did he say it in such a manner?
That's because he was never good at expressing himself.
Your orders are to continue in your role from today on.
What? Is the suspension finally over?
Yes. It was decided for you to get another chance.
Thank you.
We will give our best, Chief.
But, who will it be now?
The President's aide or....
The First Lady or... are we transfer bodyguards now?
It's Kang Su Ho.
What?
It can't be!
Because of him, we were suspended.
Now we're in charge of Kang Su Ho again?
Yes, that's right.
I'm from the Public Relations Office, Administrative Officer Jeong Yu Min.
Hello, Officer Cha Young Jin.
Hello, Officer Yoo Gwan Pil.
I am Cha Young Jin.
I'm Yoo Gwan Pil.
Oh, I see.
Since both names sounded like guys' names, I just guessed.
I'm really bad at guessing indeed.
Administrative Officer Jeong Yu Min has something to say to you,
Regarding your mission to protect Su Ho, there are some things to follow.
This matter is rather tricky so both of you will need to pay attention.
Because for the next two weeks, you might need to be the military force.
What's two weeks of military force?
Where? What military force?
Wallpaper.
Oh! Haven't you heard it yet?
I was just about to tell them.
I see.
Kang Su Ho has been sentenced.
Two weeks of Social Benefit Order.
- Social Benefit Order? - Yes.
For the next two weeks, in the homes of elderly widows living alone,
Do up wallpaper for free.
Are you crazy? Why should I do that?
That is what the judge has sentenced.
No, I won't go. Tell them to think of something else.
Acting like this will only put father in a spot, don't you know that?
Why aren't you thinking?
It's only four years.
Can't you just put up with it for four years?
Just put up with it for some years. Just be patient with it for some years.
Just like this, it's been 27 years already. Do I have to put up still?
Of course.
Father is the President, isn't he?
I've never asked him to be one.
When did I ever say I needed a President as a father?
When did I ever say I wanted to be the President's son?
That's what he wanted, it's the life he chose for himself.
But why do I always have to put up with him?
Why do I always have to be patient? Why?
Because he's our father.
Just as how parents must put up with their children,
As children, we must sometimes put up with our parents too.
Even if you're unwilling, there are times you have to give in.
No matter how difficult, we must bear with it.
That's what parents and children are. That's what a family is.
Do you understand?
If that's the case, I want to leave this family.
Since I don't need a family like this.
From tomorrow onwards, you'll have to serve the Social Benefit Order.
These two bodyguards have been assigned to accompany you.
So we wanted to discuss in detail what to do,
And to make some plans.
Kang Su Ho!
- I'll follow him. - Leave him alone.
This is a family matter.
Don't get involved.
Officer Yoo Gwan Pil.
Cha Young Jin.
Huh?
Yes, I understand.
I find you familiar?
Am I right?
I'm right! You used to live in Su Ho's house, right?
Please excuse me.
It's him, alright.
And he's more handsome now.
What is it you're so unhappy about?
If I were you, I'd have nothing else to envy in this world.
The President for a father, an exemplary mother and an excellent sister.
If I had such a family,
I'd be so grateful I'd lift them up everyday,
If you're so envious then take them for yourself.
Are you joking?
Family members can't be picked as you wish.
That is exactly the tragedy.
To me, that seems like having nothing better to do.
In this world,
There are children who care for their sickly parents with their entire lives,
And children who bear the brunt of alcoholic parents everyday,
And children who work off their backs to pay their parents' debts,
And children who were deserted by their parents and never saw them even once.
But you have a President for a father,
If you say that's a tragedy,
Then that's having nothing better to do.
Do you know?
Under my father's protection my whole life,
People always compare me to him.
Living as a son who's not up to par with the father,
Never being accepted by my father,
Unable to shake off this inferiority my whole life.
Whatever I do, people always say I'm useless.
I'm a son who lives like that.
Don't be mistaken that those with impressive fathers...
Are all happy, don't be deceived.
The memories I have of my father, are all public events.
When I was young,
I have never walked hand in hand with him at the zoo.
Even when I want to remember, there aren't any good memories.
Young Jin!
Did you just come back? It's rather late.
Hello, ahjumma.
This? This is ...
That's right. It's your father's.
5th floor. Cha Gwang Su's dance practice room for rent.
Don't be mistaken that those with impressive fathers...
Are all happy, don't be deceived.
When I was young,
I have never walked hand in hand with him at the zoo.
Even when I want to remember, there aren't any good memories.
Dad!
This tape recorder belongs to your father.
He treats it so precious so I thought it was high-quality stuff.
It wasn't at all, it's just a piece of junk.
The repair cost would be a whole lot.
To listen to a song, the beat will be real slow and the tape would get stuck too.
I'm getting it repaired.
After all, it's a pledge item so I shouldn't leave it like this.
Pledge?
Yes. He said he needed 100,000 won urgently,
And used this as a pledge.
Why did he do that?
He said to celebrate your becoming a bodyguard, he wanted to buy you a new pair of shoes.
I usually will not lend money again to those who still owe me interest,
But it's hard to find a father with such a heart for his daughter,
So I lent him some.
I'm back.
Oh! You're back.
You're back, Noona.
Have you had dinner?
We just ate. Go and eat quickly, Young Jin.
Young Gu made delicious kimchi soup, heat it up then eat.
It's in the microwave, Noona.
- Excuse me, Father! - This fella is too exaggerated!
But gradually I get addicted to his exaggeration.
Yes, that's right.
The thing about the loan collectors coming here again today,
We mustn't let Young Jin find out.
Do you understand, Father?
Do you, Young Gu?
I'm not that senile.
I've told you many times that I know what to do.
It's more than a hundred times, Grandpa.
But...
Let's plead with her one last time...
Father!
I told you that's definitely out, didn't I? You punk!
Can't we?
This is what you wear today, Mr. Kang Su Ho.
You're telling me to wear this?
Today's the first day of your Social Benefit Order, right?
You'll do the wallpaper.
Since this is the first day, there might be many reporters.
I think it's best if you wore this outfit obediently so I got it ready.
I never agreed to go.
Since you will have to go, stop torturing us now.
If you really didn't plan to go, you'd have disappeared by now.
You'd have sneaked out at dawn.
The Social Benefit Order starts at 9am. Change in five minutes and get down.
Understand?
I'm not going.
If you insist on being stubborn,
I'll publish news of us getting married in tomorrow's papers.
My father keeps pushing me for a wedding date, you know.
What do you think?
To announce our wedding first or do the wallpaper obediently?
Jeong Yu Min!
If I say I'll do it, I'll get it done. You know me well, right?
So, I'm counting on you.
Wait a while!
Welcome! It's nice to see you.
Since today is the first day, you'll just do four houses.
Four houses, all in one day?
At the beginning, you might not be proficient,
After doing some, you'll get used to it.
At the end, some can even do ten houses in a day.
I wonder how Su Ho is doing.
He'll be fine.
He's someone who does well once he decides to do something.
But, that man who's one of the guards protecting Su Ho,
Is he the one who always used to be with Su Ho,
That oppa, right?
He feels totally different.
How has he been all this while?
Did he get married? Or still single?
Yu Min.
Yes?
Aren't you busy?
You may leave now.
I will after my tea.
Actually, we in Public Relations are having a hard time because of Su Ho.
They say he's a time bomb, a mine and they disapprove of him.
Within the period of this Social Benefit Order,
We hope Su Ho will grow his awareness a little.
Don't you?
It's already been two hours.
You have to get four houses done today. Can you even finish one?
Didn't I say right from the start that I won't do such things?
And if you don't?
The 80 plus year old granny's furniture are all outside now,
So she will sleep in the yard tonight?
You have done very well.
Just take it as charity. Please do help out from now on.
Actually, for this Social Benefit Order,
If Su Ho gets into trouble again,
There will really be no end to it.
Do you get what I mean?
Drink this.
I'm fine.
Drink it.
What?
- Are you happy with it? - Yes, the place looks good.
The windows here make it very bright.
It's rather well-lit.
Yes, it's quite good.
Yes, I think I'll be rather late tonight.
I think I'll finish almost 9pm.
Don't wait for me, eat your dinner first.
What? Strawberries?
Yes, got that.
I'll buy some.
Who is it?
Eun Young?
Is it Eun Young?
Here, come and eat the noodles granny cooked.
Cha Young Jin, where do you live?
Huh? Oh well...
At Sangdo-dong.
Let's head to Sangdo-dong first, Officer Yoo Gwan Pil.
No. We'll send you back to the Presidential residence first.
I'll make my own way home from there.
We'll send Cha Young Jin home first before we go.
Let's do that.
I understand.
Why don't we send you to the doorstep since we can drive up there?
Don't bother. It's alright.
From here, it's very near.
Why? Is there something we shouldn't see?
I'll leave now. Have a safe trip home.
- Well... See you tomorrow. - Yes.
Now you can speak your mind.
Didn't you want to speak to me, that's why we sent Cha Young Jin home first?
Shall we get something to drink?
What to do!
Something's happened. Oh my!
Ahjumma, what are you doing here?
Young Jin, why did you come back so late?
Something's happened. Something's happened.
Something bad. Oh dear!
Young Jin!
Child!
Noona!
Are you the ones?
Did you get my family members into this state?
Young Jin, don't get involved.
We'll settle our own problems.
If you could then you shouldn't let me witness this.
What on earth is this?
Why take this bullying from these thugs?
What have you done?
You can't even protect your grandpa and your father, what's the use of your fists?
A stupid fella who makes us worry when he punches freely,
Yet when the time comes, he's all scared and getting beaten up quietly.
What are you doing here?
Cha Gwang Su's daughter?
You fellas keep your mouths shut and leave quietly now.
What?
Keep your mouths shut and leave my house right now, you jerks!
You have to settle the debt first.
Then we can decide whether to leave or not.
How much is the debt?
Young Jin!
Are you willing to pay?
Principal sum three million won. Interests owed for nine months,
In all about 15 million won.
What?
What kind of calculation is that?
Principal sum three million won. How did the interest get to be 12 million won?
Are you fraudsters?
Oh, really!
The talk you gave just now wasn't bad at all, pretty unni.
Remember the time you came to borrow money urgently?
Now you're saying we're fraudsters?
The real fraudsters are those who borrow without paying back.
Your father is the real fraudster, you know!
Three million won.
That is all.
Take this and leave. And don't ever show up here again.
This unni thinks we're some beggars.
Hey, did you think we'd disappear after getting this mere three million won?
Did we make trouble here for nothing?
If we won't leave, then what do you want?
We could sell you away.
What?
Sell who?
Let me see...
The face and the body looks not bad,
But her personality is not that great.
Hyungnim!
Hyungnim, are you alright?
Don't you dare touch me!
It's working hours for me so I can't drink. I have to drive too.
I don't mind so stop speaking in honorific.
From this moment, the bodyguard and the president's son don't exist.
Just Yoo Gwan Pil and Kang Su Ho.
Alright?
What do you want to know?
That call earlier, was it from Eun Young?
You don't like me bringing her up?
You're not happy?
No.
Then why won't you answer?
I've been asking from just now, is it Eun Young?
It's not Eun Young.
Eun Young is no longer in this world.
She's been gone for eight years now.
Eun Young's...
Not around?
Yes.
It feels very faint, like something very long ago.
Recently, I've been very busy so I keep forgetting,
The sadness of losing someone.
Was it because of that incident back then?
What?
When you had that flare-up, at the pool...
Incident? What incident?
What?
Miss Kim! Call the police quick! Police!
Did something happen?
The dance school's Mr. Cha.
His family and his daughter, Young Jin, are going to die.
What are you doing?
Call the police quick.
I'm so anxious!
Excuse me!
Did you just say it's Young Jin?
Is it Cha Young Jin?
Oh! So you know Young Jin?
Young Jin, how are you?
This rascal is really cruel!
Gosh! I...
Don't!
Stop!
Stop fighting with my daughter.
You do that again, I'll get real mad then.
So what if you get mad?
In your state, so what if you get mad?
Stop that!
And who are you?
Can you get up?
What are you doing here?
Don't interfere. Leave!
I asked you if you can get up.
I told you to go!
Oh really! Is this a game now?
Gosh! Really!
Do you understand?
During the period of this Social Benefit Order,
Definitely, no problem and no situation.
Whatsoever!
Remember! And remember again!
We received a police call that there's a case of violence.
Please come along with us.
Who would have thought Gwan Pil has a daughter in primary school?
What are you so afraid of? That you wouldn't speak of it nor hear of it.
Why?
You're afraid that because of your daughter, you will say goodbye to your career as a bodyguard?
Oh! What were you doing with your hand?
You're upset? Shall I take you as a woman then?
An obnoxious jinx like you?
Who knows? Maybe I'm interested in you?
You... you like that woman, don't you?
Cha Young Jin.
