Powerful Opponents
Episode 12
Su Ho, speak with me first.
I have nothing to say to you.
Su Ho.
You said you didn't know anything and weren't hiding anything from me.
What is the use of talking to someone who knows nothing?
Right?
How long did you think you could hide that lie from me?
How deep did you think you could bury it with money?
It was for you.
I did it all for your sake.
If you thought about me at all,
you should have told me the truth.
You should have, at least,
let me choose my own life, Noona!
This wasn't for my benefit or on my behalf.
You were afraid of our family's disgrace,
and afraid of what others would say...
so you hid it and deceived me.
You were afraid that I'd ruin your life, too,
so you cheated me out of my own life!
How much...
of your memory has returned?
Until… Ggot Nim.
Episode 12 The Two Sides Of The Truth
Young Jin.
Chief.
What happened?
Ggot Nim, Dad's home.
Ggot Nim...
Ggot Nim!
Ggot Nim...
Ggot Nim!
Dad!
What's going on?
Where have you been?
Do you know how long I've been looking for you?
I'm sorry, Dad.
Cha Young Jin suggested we go out for dinner, so we did and…
With Cha Young Jin?
Yeah, but while we were eating, she suddenly said she had to get rid of a dung fly and left...
then she didn't come back.
And then?
So, I sat by myself for an hour.
And she called the manager,
saying she was at the emergency room because her friend got hurt.
She asked the manager to take me home.
A friend got hurt?
Yeah.
Yes, I'm Agent Yoo Gwan Pil.
What happened?
I spoke with the Chief. He said Byung Wook was hurt.
That…
I was the one who was supposed to get hit.
Instead, it was Byung Wook…
They did an MRI and CT scan as soon as we got to the ER.
It's really taking a long time. It seems like it's been over 2 hours.
Kim Byung Wook's guardians.
Byung Wook.
You came?
How are you feeling?
I'll live.
Young Jin?
Are you okay, Kim Byung Wook?
I asked if you're okay.
That's a relief.
Get some rest. I'm going.
Gwan Pil.
You'll have to be tense, after all.
Moments like this can naturally shake a woman's heart.
Why didn't you stay longer with Byung Wook?
He got sleepy.
It may be because of the painkillers, but he fell right asleep.
Oh.
It's okay. If you leave it, it'll be fine.
Be sure to put antiseptic on it, instead of leaving it alone.
What about Ggot Nim?
Did she get home okay?
You're asking early...
after leaving her alone for an hour in the restaurant.
I'm sorry. I was preoccupied.
Why did you come to my house looking for me?
That matter was already closed with the Chief.
So...
are you saying you can't take it back?
Alright, then.
What are you doing?
I've disposed of it for you.
Cha Young Jin!
I almost lost two friends today.
One got hit by a car and almost died instead of me.
The other does what he likes and wrote his resignation letter to quit.
A little while ago, I confirmed that one is safe.
Now, all that remains is for you to return to your place.
I said the matter was already closed.
Nothing's happened yet, so don't be afraid and run away.
This sort of thing should only be used as a last resort.
Right?
Ggot Nim...
I could lose her...
I'm saying that I could lose Ggot Nim!
Surely, it's not...
Come and sit down.
I have something to say.
I won't ask what you've remembered.
Since that won't change anything.
Don't breathe a single word of this to Mom and Dad.
Let's, you and I, settle this with Gwan Pil.
Noona.
Don't use your feelings to deal with this.
That's not how to solve it, Su Ho.
It ended 8 years ago.
What can you do about it now?
It'll only cause a scandal that'll cause trouble for Dad.
And it'll cause trouble for you, too. Right?
Don't put the blame on me now.
You and Eun Young created this mess.
I clearly said…
I told her to have an abortion,
but she didn't. Eun Young made the choice.
At least, you shouldn't have hidden it from me.
It was my responsibility!
You were only 19 years old then.
I didn't want your life to be ruined because of one mistake.
So you wanted Gwan Pil Hyung to carry the burden?
To assume responsibility for Eun Young in my place?
Gwan Pil made his own choice.
It looked like Gwan Pil really liked Eun Young, too.
He always wanted what you had.
Father, your place, and Eun Young, too.
- Noona! - I...
I still don't think that the decision I made was wrong.
Because back then, it was the best I could do.
And the child?
That child is mine.
So what? What can you do now?
Are you going raise her?
If you suddenly show up as her dad,
will she welcome you with open arms?
Don't be swept away by useless emotions and make things more complicated.
Just quietly...
keep your mouth shut.
Mom.
Mom,
Mom, hear me out. I'll explain.
Don't say anything.
I don't want to hear anything from you right now.
Cha Young Jin and Yoo Gwan Pil, neither of them are here yet?
Gwan Pil is on 3 days sick leave.
Sick leave? What's he sick with?
It's a private matter, so I gave him 3 days sick leave.
And Cha Young Jin is out on duty.
Out?
But I didn't receive a report.
They had something urgent to attend to, so I sent her.
And she'll be back by lunchtime.
That's all you need to know.
The guy that was hurt yesterday has a cracked shoulder bone.
A person was hit right in front of your eyes.
I thought you might like to know how he's doing.
Can I come in?
This…
Ko Su Jin, you sent this, right?
I don't know if you're aware...
that all letters sent to the President and his family
must pass through our Agents' office.
Especially those without return addresses.
We open each one and verify their contents.
Like paparazzi, you keep following Kang Su Ho...
and now you're following an eight year old child.
Just what are you trying to dig up?
Why do you want to invade their privacy so much?
It's for my friend who died pitifully.
So you're saying...
it's not your mission as a reporter,
but purely personal revenge, right?
I want to return the pain Eun Young suffered back to Kang Su Ho and his family.
Satisfied?
Alright then.
I understand.
Now that I know the reason,
I'll share with you the Office of Security's position.
Ko Soo Jin, if you recklessly spread the contents of the threats in these letters,
I will take it as a threat.
And I'll bring formal charges against you for libel and privacy violation.
If that happens, then you and the news medium that reported it,
will have to fight against us in the Office of Security.
Well, that is our Office of Security's position.
However, my personal position is…
Whether it's Kang Su Ho or Yoo Gwan Pil, just leave them in peace.
Don't mess with them.
Kang Su Ho's wounds,
Yoo Gwan Pil's pain...
Did you ever think about that?
That they, of all people, would have suffered the most over Seo Eun Young's death.
Haven't you ever thought about that?
Let them resolve their own past.
If a third person keeps intruding and stirring up trouble,
Then I'll swear on own name that... I will NOT let you off.
Understand?
Is that a threat?
Threat? You're the one making threats.
I'm merely stating my position.
Understand?
The end.
What's it about? If you called me here, then speak.
You didn't go to work today?
It can't be that you're quitting the security force, right?
Take it.
I said take it.
Hit me...
with that.
Until all the resentment in your heart is appeased...
until your burden is lifted... Hit me.
For Eun Young's share...
For Ggot Nim's share...
For what my sister did to you and to Eun Young,
I'll take all the hits.
If you don't, then I can't live.
I don't think I can live with my head up in front of you.
Don't ever forgive me.
And don't let it go.
I beg you, Hyung.
Hit me.
I've never resented you
or hated you.
If the misunderstanding you had against me has been lifted,
that's already enough for me.
So…
don't try to change anything.
Even though you've learned the truth,
it happened 8 years ago.
It's just the past.
Hyung.
Ggot Nim,
is my daughter.
That's the truth of the present.
You don't look sick enough to take a sick leave, Yoo Gwan Pil.
Nor sick enough to postpone your kendo practice with that person inside.
Right?
You'll be informed again of the detailed schedule the day before.
The First Lady will be leaving the Blue House at 10:00 AM.
If there's a change in schedule, we'll send an email to everyone.
Regarding the donation activity for the
Poverty Children's Society Charity Show that the First Lady is attending,
that will be at the end of a short presentation.
Miss Jeong Yu Min Public Affairs officer.
Yes, Reporter Yoon.
I heard very interesting news.
What's that?
There's a strange rumor that Su Ho has an illegitimate daughter.
What?
The Security Service is anxiously trying to find the person who sent the letters.
Isn't there something you know?
That's utter nonsense.
Really?
Yes.
Reporter Yoon, please don't throw such strange, baseless rumors around.
Even without that, we're busy enough as it is.
Then, I'll see you at next week's activity briefing.
That's the strangest thing I've heard.
Chief Pyo, it's me.
I have a favor to ask from you.
Oh, Cha Young Jin.
Yes?
Hmm, how did the thing go?
Did you shut her mouth up?
Yes, according to Chief Pyo's style emphasizing our position.
My style?
Yes.
Expressing that we will not dismiss taking the case up for legal action.
I expect that there'll be no movement for a while.
Alright, that's good.
You just came back but you have to go out for something else.
It's not something else but…
Understand? Go quietly without anyone seeing and hurry back.
Yes, I got it.
Just back from a mission?
Yes.
Then why do you have to go out again? And where to?
She is doing something for me, Do Woo.
What're you doing? Get moving.
Then I'll be leaving.
What's going on Chief?
Tell me, too.
I'm sorry.
There are unavoidable circumstances, so try to understand.
I am Cha Young Jin and Yoo Gwan Pil's Superior.
Who doesn't know that?
There are reasons for this.
I'll tell you everything later, when the situation has settled.
Alright?
Greetings.
Why is Agent Cha here?
First Lady called for me.
Is that so?
So the crawfish is on the crab's side, after all.
I asked you to protect Su Ho from Gwan Pil.
The situation turned out like this, but you never reported to me.
I didn't think it was my place to interfere.
Whatever it is, it's all between Kang Su Ho and Yoo Gwan Pil.
It's not something for you to decide.
Not for you, Cha Young Jin, to decide.
Isn't that so?
Sorry for making you wait, let's go.
Where are you going?
There is somewhere I need to go.
Have a talk with me first Mom before you go.
Later.
I'm very happy today.
Why?
You dropped me off at school and then came back to pick me up.
Being able to hold hands and walk with you makes me really happy.
Ggot Nim.
Would you like to keep doing that with me?
If I quit the Security Force and found another job,
I could take you to school and pick you up afterwards.
Should we live like that?
Dad, were you really fired?
Why?
You don't want me to be fired?
Of course not.
Dad went through a lot of hardships to be a bodyguard.
Hold on.
So you were home.
What's up?
Aren't you on duty?
Yeah, I'm working now.
I'm sorry I couldn't let you know beforehand.
I was instructed specifically not to do so, hence…
Please come in.
Scissors, paper, rock!
Rock!
You're here?
I heard there was no lesson today.
Father and Grandpa are out.
Is it so?
Then I'll just wait.
This is Ggot Nim.
Yoo Gwan Pil's daughter.
They have a guest over, so I'm looking after her for a while.
Hello, Shorty.
Thank you.
The child is called Ggot Nim?
Yes.
If she's eight, she would've started elementary school this year.
Yes.
She seems very bright.
She's been brought up to be good and pure.
I don't know what to say to you.
I am to blame for all of this.
I'm truly sorry.
I don't know how to compensate you for the last eight years,
or how to repay you and ease my guilt.
Frankly, I'm at a loss.
Now that I know, the wrongs must be set right again.
So…
about Ggot Nim...
I'm sorry to interrupt you, Ma'am.
Ggot Nim is my daughter.
I've raised her,
and I'll continue to raise her.
if you're worried about causing trouble for the President, there's no need.
If people cast stones, it's the parents who are willing to take that responsibility.
The President doesn't know about this truth yet,
but I'm sure he'll feel the same as I do.
It's not for anyone else's sake.
It's for my own sake.
Ggot Nim is my only family.
If you take her away, then I...
I won't be able to live.
- Gwan Pil. - I'm sorry.
So, are you really the President's son?
Yes. Why?
Why is the President's son so shabby-looking?
What?
Your hair looks like a shaggy dog that just woke up.
What's wrong with you? This is the latest popular hair style.
Why don't you shave?
It's so messy!
So I can look like a tough boy.
And…
Why are you dressed like a high school student?
As the President's son, shouldn't you dress much better than that?
You really don't know fashion. This is the latest trend.
Young Gu oppa is so much cooler than you.
Thank you, Ggot Nim.
Hey, Shorty!
It's bad to question a person's outward appearance.
There are so many things I can do.
Young Gu oppa can do a lot too.
Can you ride a motorcycle, Young Gu?
Have you heard of the Flying Bike Family?
I was once the first amongst them.
Then, have you ever done sports fighting?
Sports fighting?
I almost became child protégé in second class hand-to-hand fighting.
Up until I got whacked by my sister with a frying pan.
Then Young Gu, do you know how to dance the waltz?
I am…
I learned a little secretly from watching my dad's back.
I know how to dance it.
Want to see?
Cue.
Ah, that… I can't dance without a partner.
Shorty, come here.
Why?
I'm asking you to come over.
Why don't you go? He looks pretty pitiful.
Just follow my steps. Alright?
Alright.
Then let's start.
Come.
1... 2... 3. 1... 2... 3.
1... 2.
1... 2... 3.
What is it?
Sorry.
I'm sorry, Ggot Nim.
It's alright.
I'm back.
Has the outfield mission ended?
Yes, it has.
Is that so?
Then you can knock off now.
What?
Then, let's leave.
Do you mean, you and me, just the two of us?
Why? You don't want to?
No, of course not... that's not it.
Come out after you're done arranging your desk.
Alright.
What's this? Did I do something wrong again?
Why do I feel so uneasy?
- If you move there, you're in big trouble. - Yeah, right here.
Son, you're back now? Had dinner?
A little.
Father, you still couldn't find a dance partner today?
It's obvious,
he couldn't find one.
A partner like Black Butterfly.
Will she ever appear in my life?
Anyone in?
You're...
I heard you're looking for a dance partner.
Yes, that's right.
And you are...?
The name that I threw away in the past is…
It is...
Black Butterfly.
Black...
Black Butterfly?
But this lady, doesn't she look a little familiar?
All beauties look a little familiar, rascal.
But, how did you know I was looking for a dance partner?
That…
is because I've always been watching you from somewhere close by.
In the end, I had no choice but to appear because it was so pitiful to see.
Mrs. Oh, what are you doing?
What am I doing?
I'm here to be your partner, of course.
See? I thought she looked familiar.
Mrs. Oh...
Are you really trying to play around with me?
No, I want to dance.
The dance which is heard of and not tried.
Young Gu.
Yes?
Music please.
Yes.
That was amazing. Just amazing.
It's too amazing.
Gwang Su.
Mom.
Sorry for making you worry.
You have to prepare yourself for what lies ahead.
You know that, right?
Yes. I know.
Good... then eat. The soup's getting cold.
Hold up your cup.
Yes.
It's hard, right?
No, not at all.
There's no need to be tense.
The reason for drinking alone with you is...
because I wanted to pull down the wall between us.
We've had friction from the beginning, you and me.
Right?
Oh, yes.
Come on, let's drink.
Yes.
I hear that Yoo Gwan Pil's daughter is Kang Su Ho's.
Yoo Gwan Pil's on sick leave.
And there's no sign of him.
You and Chief Pyo are quietly trying to hide it.
All because of that, right?
Why am I the only one who wasn't told?
why?
Are you afraid that it would leak to the outside if I knew?
Sunbae-nim...
The rule that we can't discuss the protectee outside the office...
Have you forgotten?
Hey, didn't you hear what I said?
I said I wanted to pull down the wall between us.
What can't be said while pulling down the walls?
Here, have another drink.
I'm sorry, I'll be leaving first.
You rascal.
How can you have no manners and leave first when you're eating with your senior?!
When a senior treats his junior to meat and rice,
you're supposed to show him some civility.
Cha Young Jin.
Even if it's with a senior, I can't stay in a place that violates the rules.
What?
Are you done speaking?
I'm leaving first.
So disgusting. No wonder she's such a bad marksman.
I want to treat her well and she doesn't appreciate it.
Yes, this is Cha Young Jin.
Cha Young Jin, it's me. I have something to ask you.
Go ahead.
My hairstyle…
Does it look that messy?
Does it look like a shaggy dog that just woke up?
Well, I haven't really thought about it, but it's not neatly combed to one side.
Then the beard? What about the beard?
Don't I look like a tough boy?
Well... rather than tough, it's...
It's what?
It looks a little sloppy.
What?
Sloppy looking?
Well, if you really want to compare, then it is.
Are you pissed?
Pissed? Who's pissed?
Nevermind, come to the residence at 7:00 AM tomorrow.
I've somewhere to go early in the morning.
Again he just hangs up on people. Again he does it.
Have to change this habit of his first.
I can understand your sense of style now, Cha Young Jin.
What shabby? And sloppy?
Exactly Ggot Nim's standard.
Should I really follow an 8 year old's advice?
Yoo Gwan Pil, you're here too?
When did you come?
Not too long ago.
Where's Ggot Nim?
She's playing with Young Gu. I'll pick her up on my way back.
I see.
Cha Young Jin, you came to visit me, but is Gwan Pil all you see?
Of course, I see you, too.
How are you? Looks like you're much better.
After one day, there's this sudden feeling of regeneration.
There aren't many men in Korea who have this sort of stamina, Young Jin.
You know, right?
I know.
I brought your favorite milk.
I don't just drink any milk you know, right?
How about this?
Sweet potato cake!
Wow, Cha Young Jin even knows my taste. Thank you, Young Jin.
Eat a lot.
What've you been doing, that you didn't eat dinner yet?
Huh?
I've been busy.
But the egg in this ramen is really delicious.
I'm so disappointed if there's no egg.
Oh, I don't really like egg in ramen because it's tasteless.
Really?
That's quite interesting!
With egg, it's tasteless for you. Without egg, I'm disappointed.
We're natural partners!
Thanks.
I owe you a debt of gratitude.
What for?
Just... this and that.
If you know, then please don't talk about quitting.
It's so disappointing.
When I become Korea's first female security chief,
let me work you hard beneath me. Okay?
Korea's first female security chief?
That's right.
That's my real dream. Isn't it grand?
Isn't your dream a bit tough?
That's too much for you.
Dreams are always like that. The higher it is, the greater the satisfaction.
Now you should try get into my good books. Understand?
Hello.
Change it for me.
Change it completely.
Good morning, Mr. President.
Agent Cha Young Jin, we meet again.
You're here because of our Su Ho again?
Yes, that…
I called her, Father.
Did you sleep well, Father?
Yes, did you?
Yes, Father.
Where are you going this early in the morning?
To the University to apply to continue my studies.
So I wanted Agent Cha Young Jin to come a little earlier.
Continue studying?
Yes.
I gave someone my assurance.
I promised I would live my life well.
Is that so?
I see.
That's good.
I didn't ask you to change your hairstyle and shave.
Another female asked me to do it.
Another female?
Actually yesterday, I saw Ggot Nim.
I know... I can't do anything now.
But be it to Gwan Pil or to Ggot Nim,
I will not do anything to hurt them.
However, I want to slowly become a person that Ggot Nim will like.
What do you think? Am I doing well?
Yes, you're doing well.
Let's go.
Cha Young Jin.
Today's escort has been switched to Agent Park.
What?
Something happened. You have to follow me back to the office now.
What happened so suddenly?
Tell me what's happened before you go.
This is an internal matter of the Office of Security.
It's not something that concerns you.
Good morning.
Look at this.
Does the President's son have an illegitimate daughter?
What's going on?
What's going on exactly?
How can this thing be printed in our own daily paper?
Well, I'm not sure what happened, either.
Was the reporter's name, perhaps, Ko Su Jin?
Do you see that it says the news came from Office of Security?
How can it be? That's impossible!
The only ones who know of this are me and you.
And…
Sunbae-nim, the rule that we can't discuss the protectee outside the office...
Have you forgotten it?
Where's Cha Young Jin?
Why isn't she here yet?
Agent Yang has gone to get her. She'll be here soon.
Chief, she's here.
What is it?
What happened?!
What?
What do you mean?
Do you really not know what's going on?
Do you want to have a look yourself?
The President's son, Kang Su Ho now has an illegitimate daughter…
Please explain what's going on in this news?
Dad, what's wrong?
Whether it's Reporter Ko Soo Jin that leaked the news,
or it's from a leak from inside the Security Office.
Today we'll get to the truth!
If we have a leak in this office,
that person will pen a resignation letter and be prepared to take off the uniform.
Do you understand?
I came to hear it directly from you what happened.
It's true.
It's all true, Father.
As soon as Agent Cha Young Jin had her first drink,
she said that Yoo Gwan Pil's daughter was really Kang Su Ho's.
Sunbae, I didn't know you were so despicable!
Don't worry, Cha Young Jin.
I won't let them get rid of you like this. I'll take care of everything.
Don't worry.
The moment I became fond of you, I had to say good bye.
Farewell, my true heart.
