Episode 18
Kim Ok Ryeon, come out. You're being released.
I heard that the intelligence people only gave you one ball of rice.
They say that woman must be warm inside.
Eat it while it's hot.
Where is Jung Tae?
I'm the one who got you out. Why are you looking for Jung Tae?
Hurry up and eat it.
Eat it with this.
Gosh, you're going to create a hole in my face with that glare.
Stop staring at me sternly and eat, so you can get some energy.
On this contract, stamp it. Stamp it.
This is the only way to meet Shin Jung Tae.
What do you mean by that?
What meaning?
I'm trying to make you into a singer.
What?
It's written here.
Hwangbang Recording Singing Contract.
I don't need that kind of thing, take me to Jung Tae.
No,
I'll go by myself.
Ignorant girl!
Do you think I'm here because I have free time?
Also,
who will be able to get you released so easily when you are a murder suspect?
Do you think Shin Jung Tae has that much influence?
Stop saying useless things.
Ok Ryeon,
This is not just another promise.
This contract holds Shin Jung Tae's life.
Where are we going now?
I asked where are we going?
Where is this?
This is where you can meet Shin Jung Tae.
Why would Jung Tae be here?
Isn't this right next to the intelligence building?
Just wait a bit. The one you have dreamed about will show up.
Hmm.
Here comes the son of a b*tches.
Look carefully.
Why is Jung Tae with them?
Why is he scaling the wall?
What am I supposed to do?
Then, he's trying to save me?
Ah, Jung Tae. Hey.
Calm down. -Let me go.
Stay put! - I said let me go.
Will you calm down?!
If you make that much noise and get caught, what do you think will happen?
If Shin Jung Tae is lucky, he'll be put in prison.
If he's unlucky, he'll be shot to death.
Hyungnim.
Ok Ryeon?
Princess, they are here.
Princess?
Don't follow me.
He's a strong one.
He's so confident that he is strong,
all of his attacks are direct. Then...
his weakness is his pride.
I thought you were something great, being the director of intelligence at such a young age.
You learned to fight from reading books. The only experience
you have is beating the crap out of your underlings.
You fighting a few times on the streets has made you overly confident.
I'll kill you.
Its just as I thought. He's getting emotional.
If I get hit a few more times,
my winning chance will come.
Jung Tae seems to be getting hit a lot. I don't know what will happen.
He hasn't got hit with a solid punch yet.
He fell for the trap. All I have to do now is pummel him.
Let me go.
Seeing your expression, you thought I would be defeated by getting too emotional.
Why?
Are you giving up already?
Before I kill you, I'll teach you that fight does not always involve fists.
Oh my god.
Leader Bangjoo, Shin Jung Tae scaled the wall of the intelligence building.
That guy! Simple minded, I see.
Once he makes up his mind, always going for it.
He's an exact copy of his father.
Knowing that, why did you agree with Aioki?
For two reasons. One,
I wanted to see how sharp Ill Gook Hwae's new knife was.
Two,
Was the bait that made Shin Jung Tae bite
Kim Ok Ryeon?
I wanted to confirm that.
Then...
Just as Aoki thought.
Kim Ok Ryeon is Shin Jung Tae's nerve center.
If we grab on to her,
Shin Jung Tae will become our puppet.
Doesn't he have to comeback alive first?
Wang Baek San.
Your suspicion about Shin Jung Tae is really deep.
That's because I'd rather have him die.
He is sly and has many tricks up his sleeve, much more than his father.
Its too bad for you but
if you threw him into hell, he's the kind of a guy who'll return back alive.
Only that kind of person
is qualified to be Hwangbang's knife.
Just like his father, Shanghai owner.
Though it short, it was an enjoyable meeting.
Don't you think its cowardly?
War is only remembered by the one wins.
You'll be a criminal who was just shot to death.
I will no longer
continue and finish the hunt.
Go peacefully.
What was that noise?
Director, there is fire burning near the holding cells.
Its near the warehouse.
Call the fire department and get all the men to catch the arsonist.
Hurry!
You seem to be a lucky guy.
Next time, I won't let you leave alive.
This isn't finished yet.
Know that your life is on deposit.
Tell me where Ok Ryeon is.
Tell me, bastard!
No, don't.
Princess!
What's with the commotion?
By chance.
Princess, this matter can block the path in front of you.
What do you know that you are talking like that?
Let's go.
Hyungnim!
Since you saw it with your own eyes, now you should understand.
Ok Ryeon, every time you get caught and go in,
Shin Jung Tae, that infant punk will only look at the ball and fall prey to his emotions.
If he gets caught like that, it's obvious that he'll experience it firsthand. What are you going to do now?
If I leave Shanghai,
What will happen?
If you leave Shanghai, will the problems be solved?
That Shin Jung Tae, that infant punk, will probably think that you've been kidnapped.
Did you already forget that he went around making a mess of Shineuijoo, Byeongyang, Jongjin, and the Dobi Gang kids.
By the way,
what are you going to do with the intelligence director who came to arrest you?
Are you confident that you can run from him?
Then, what shall I do?
There is
only one way.
Go to Jung Tae's father and ask for help.
What do you mean Jung Tae's father?
You didn't know?
I don't know why Shing Jung Tae did it but
he made a paternal vow with Seul Bangjoo .
Paternal vow?
Yeah.
So, Seul Bangjoo called me to get you out.
Shin Jung Tae didn't know(that I got you out).
Then,
if I stamp the contract,
Jung Tae won't be turned over to the intelligence office ,right?
He won't get hurt again because of me, right?
Of course. Not only Jung Tae but
your safety can be guaranteed as well.
And also,
Hwangbang has the biggest recording company in Shanghai.
If you're determined, you can become the best singer in Shanghai.
I'm not interested in that anymore.
As long as Jung Tae is safe, I'm fine.
If you can promise his safety, then I'll stamp the contract.
Of course I will promise.
Since I'll be promising, you're stamp the contract.
Flip it over.
Ok Ryeon, you watch.
I'll make you the best singer in Shanghai.
Over here.
You idiot!
Why did you take the princess there for?!
I'm sorry but I had
no choice, Shinichi.
If the Ill Gook Hwae Boss finds out, do you know what is going to happen?
The Boss might kill Gaya!
What do you mean by that?
Shut up,
keep the men's mouth shut
and never mention to anyone at Osaka.
Do you understand?
Answer me, Yamamoto.
I told you to answer me.
That is..
Its too late.
The Boss knows everything.
What did you say?
Who was it?
Who said it without my permission!?
Who reported to him?
I personally made the report to him, Shinichi.
Princess.
Go wait outside.
I wanted to know.
If I saved a Korean man from peril,
and if it becomes known that I let Ill Gook Hwae be stepped on by him,
how will the Boss react?
Princess...
On the day that I was invited to Hwangbang I heard it all from Seol Bang Joo.
From where you killed my mother
to the person who ordered it.
All of it.
Then,
why all this time...
My sin,
like my mother who loved a Joseon (Korean) man, until I was sure,
I buried it.
Master,
rather
kill me.
Kill me now
and bury it as my sin.
I'm asking you to bury it as the sin I committed.
Isn't it the Boss's role to decide who lives and dies in Ill Gook Hwae?
Wait.
In a few days, the Boss
whether you'll live
or die, will let you know.
It's not only me that will die.
I'm not afraid of death.
Even if Shin Jung Tae is killed?
Do you not think of why your father died, Shinjo San?
I'm telling you that the one that's in your heart
will face the same death.
Shin Jung Tae, he has nothing to do with this matter.
The sin of having him in your heart,
is another sin.
Princess Ryoko's sin also
started that way.
Finally you open your mouth.
All of this,
if you will bury it as only my sin,
I will tell you everything.
No.
I'm going to ask Denkai Doyama directly.
Princess, please.
You cannot do this, please.
Here...
Hyungnim, this is the money from Standard Bank.
This is for Deukgu Bank.
This is the money to return to China Bank borrowed using Club Roma as collateral.
The rest is all ours...
Ah, hyungnim. What is this?
What's the point of having such a grand opening when there's stuff left over up front but nothing left in the back.
There is only crumbs left for us.
Hyungnim, let's not do this...this right here.
From the money we're to give Hwangbang,
let's just eat (keep) this one.
What?
When we're the one doing all the work, what is Hwangbang that they eat all the profits?
Don't be like that and...
Let's just eat this one right here.
Eat what you bastard. I told you to stop eating. Do you want your cheek to be split (from me hitting you)?
Aigo..
Then what should we do?
We haven't even been able to pay one cent of wages to the Bangsamtong people!
Do you think that someone doesn't eat it because he doesn't know how?
Seol Bang Joo, that old man, do you not know that he yells and hollers and makes a commotion if there's even one cent missing?
No, I know but...
"You'll lose a lot while trying to win big."
While you're trying to take a little more and eat it the club will be taken out of our hands.
Yes.
Hey, I don't even like seeing those. Hurry up and put them in the car.
Yes.
It's this month's salary. Cheer up you punk, huh?
Ah hyungnim.
Ah...
What?
Ah,
Ouch.
Are you the President?
No, I just...
What are you doing you bastard? Hurry.
Yes, hyungnim.
Hey, water deliverer.
You look good.
Ah, what are you saying now?
Our Hwangbang Record main singer, kim Ok Ryeon.
I ask for your benevolence,
President Jung.
Since it's Hwangbang's request I'll let her sing up there.
But if she wrecks the stage then you'll be the first to die.
Yesterday we let her sing at the Hwangbang Club,
after the song was finished, half of the male customers sent her flower bouquets.
That would be somewhat of an answer now, won't it?
Then, we'll see you later.
Useless bastard.
We give them what we earn, our main stage... I feel so embarrassed-
I'm just saying.
Get lost, bastard.
I seriously can't live because it's so embarrassing.
Shin Jung Tae, that fellow. Is there still no movement?
No. All week at Club Shanghai, he doesn't one step foot outside of it.
I'm preparing it so that he'll be caught as soon as he steps out.
No need for that.
Director.
He's only a refugee, but he's causing a lot of trouble for us.
I've already finished talking with the head of Chirinbang, Leader Seul.
Yesterday's chaos with Shin Jung Tae and the fire,
cover them up together.
Understood?
Yes, I understand.
That I cannot be known as part of Ill Gook Hwae,
did you not hear it or
do you have a more urgent matter that supersedes it to make you ignore it?
I've heard that you even had a trap, but you still failed to catch Shin Jung Tae.
He's far stronger
than what you thought?
But for you too, it will have been a good experience.
Shinichi-san.
Your fighting opponent was only Aka, but
Shin Jung Tae,
is experiencing all of the world's fighting.
And also he's becoming stronger the more he fights.
A fight is not something you only do with your fists.
I have a sure way to catch him,
so next time... Do you think that there will be a next opportunity?
What are you saying right now?
The day after tomorrow Denkai Doyama will arrive in Shanghai.
What did you say?
Why all of a sudden?
I think that Princess Gaya
reported everything that occurred in Shanghai to him.
Last week at the Office of the Chief,
even the fire that was set.
You're saying that Gaya even reported that?
Did you know that Princess Gaya set the fire?
That's the reason why Shin Jung Tae is safe even after causing trouble at the Office of the Chief, I see.
Aoki.
Do you still have the Princess in your heart?
Of course.
Now very soon the bloody winds will blow.
Princess Gaya's life will be like a small fire trying to fight the wind.
The person to block that wind
is only you.
Denkai Aoki, the light of Ill Gook Hwae.
Is there something that you're planning?
Of course.
No.
I'm going to handle it according to my methods.
Aoki,
Shinichi-san...
I'm the light of Ill Gook Hwae.
Seeing as this day has come, business must be going well.
Has there ever been a time that Club Shanghai didn't do good business?
Even if business is going stupendously well, if I have to bring all the profits and lay them down here,
the problem is that
there's only this one finger left to suck on.
If its that hard for you to operate the club, you should find a way to make a better living.
Since you are Bangsamtong owner,
you can't starve Bangsamtong's people, right?
You're saying I should deal in opium?
Well, I guess that's a bad idea.
I'm sorry but I won't deal in opium.
I'm sorry that I lack in things and can't make Bangsamtong's people well off.
A year old baby who drank opium addicted mother's milk, with his glazed eyes,
goes around entering other houses for more of the opium milk.
He doesn't recognize his own parents and ends up killing them with a knife.
A person becoming a dog like that,
I can't bear to see that kind of thing again.
Jung Jae Hwa. Your word are too harsh.
I don't think it's too harsh, you bastard!
If you learn and understand things from time to time, doesn't that make you happy?
The previous Shanghai owner received the thing from Leader Bangjoo, without knowing what that was.
For that, I saw the sufferings of people for the last 20 years.
What stupid bastard would take the opium again?
Rather than taking the opium,
I would take our more money from Ill Gook Hwae bank and feed the Bangsamtong people.
You Mr. Wang son of a bit*h.
Then, Leader, rest well.
That..that guy
So if we don't adjust the profit percentage,
he's saying that he'll partner with Ill Gook Hwae, in a roundabout way, right?
Yes but,
we are in no position to adjust the percentage.
Director Aoki has asked for an inspection of your finances.
If you don't fill the funds that you've used to deal opium,
your position in the concession will become dangerous.
What about the other clubs?
They're already under inspection.
We have to start selling opium at Club Shanghai.
If not, you and Hwangbang will be in danger.
That means...
Before it's too late,
we must get rid of Jung Jae Hwa, and
we have to get Club Shanghai back.
Then we should do that.
Jung Tae.
Kim Ok Ryeon that you waited for..no.
Your "wife" is here.
What? Where is she?
I saw her go into the make-up room.
Kim Ok Ryeon, are you out of your mind? If got out, you should have called; are your fingers broken?
Do you know how Jung Tae, me and all the people at Bangsamtong was worried about you?
Everyone was so worried about you.
I'm sorry So So.
And by the way, what's with this clothes? Just what went on during the past week?
So So, I'll explain everything about where I was for a week and...
What do you mean by where?
She was probably in Hwangbang's bed.
What do you mean? Hwangbang's bed?
Why didn't you know?
She's been singing at the casino club since two days ago.
Kim Ok Ryeon, is it true?
Ah, So So. About that...
What did I tell you? I told you so.
That bitch dove into Hwangbang's bed.
If it's not that, how can she possibly sing at the casino with that skill?
She's merely a replacement singer.
Jing Jing-ssi, I came here after passing the test.
So I was able to get into Hwangbang Records.
I never did anything that you're talking about.
Also, I officially signed a contract with Club Shanghai just like you.
Do I have to tell you again?
Kim Ok Ryeon, is it real?
Ah, So So I'm sorry. I was going to tell you.
What do you mean by explain?
It's so obvious. The quite dog actually is the most ferocious.
It's suppose to be a cat, you ignorant bitch.
You're only a waiter!
Jung Tae!
Kim Ok Ryeon. What happened to you?
Do you know how much I worried?
What is with the clothes and the make up?
Didn't Do Ggoo call you?
What?
You really didn't know! I got released that night.
Who had you released?
What do you mean who? The one who became your father.
Seul Bangjoo?
This is strange. How come they didn't tell anybody?
May be they wanted to surprise you.
So, after he had you released, then what?
How and where did you stay?
What do you mean how was I? After the singing test at Hwangbang Records, I started training right away.
I have a lot of pretty dresses and auditioned at many clubs every day.
There are so many glamorous clubs in Shanghai.
And you know what? I signed a contract.
It pays 100 times more than delivering water.
Kim Ok Ryeon?
Ah right. I have to go sing now.
Ah, what should I do? I'm nervous.
For a moment I'm not nervous now.
Jung Tae, watch me carefully when I perform okay?
I'm going.
Ok Ryeon?
Tell me.
Why did you bring Ok Ryeon?
Obviously because she's associated with the Hwangbang now as our singer.
Hwangbang's singer?
What happened to Ok Ryeon?
Hwangbang's leader rescued Kim Ok Ryeon.
Understood?
What?
Think carefully.
If it wasn't for a powerful figure like the Hwangbang,
how do you think that a suspect for an assassination of a Japanese official
be released that quickly, protected, and made into a singer?
Protect?
Right, protection.
If this isn't protection, then what is it?
Hey, look over there.
Do you see that sign there?
That's the symbol of the Chirin.
Because of that sign,
those policemen, who want to arrest Kim Ok Ryeon, can't.
Got it?
Hey, Shin Jung Tae.
Your Kim Ok Ryeon,
if you don't want her to be captured without a soul knowing, only to be beaten up,
you should think carefully and act.
Bastard.
Thank you for taking care of Ok Ryeon.
Get up.
She's the woman my son likes,
therefore it's obvious to do so.
I heard that Ok Ryeon signed a contract with Hwangbang Records.
Are you going to raise her as a singer?
That too,
it was what your girl wanted.
Is that a problem?
No.
Then would it be okay to take her as the singer for Club Shanghai?
Ah, why?
That girl
being under me,
does that make you nervous?
Your eyes tell me that you see her as my hostage.
Aren't you?
If you're that anxious, then take her.
Can I do that?
She's your girl.
If you have the confidence to protect her,
then you can take her whenever you want.
Your words,
do not forget them.
I'll be going back.
Go carefully.
Mangchi.
Get Jae Hwa's, fill it up with gas and warm up the car.
Are you going far?
Quickly!
Yes.
Shin Jung Tae!
Jung Tae, why are you doing this?
Jung Tae!
Hey! Shin Jung Tae.
Are you listening to what I say with your ass?
What's the matter, huh?
Let this go.
Let my hand go and talk.
You son of a bit*h!
Stop! You, bastard!
Aishh!
Jung Tae, where are we going?
We're going to a safe place.
Where is this safe place?
I don't know yet.
Though I don't know now, all I have to do is find a place.
With this money, lay low for time being.
After I complete revenging my dad, I'll come for you.
Stay in hiding until then.
I'll take care of the rest, okay?
No, I don't want to go.
Ok Ryeon.
Jung Tae, we're refugees.
There is no place in the world that is safe.
You told me.
Where the flowers bloom at Shineujoo,
we should live together. That's what you said.
That's right.
But you know that we don't have a place to return.
So, let's live here, Jung Tae.
Even if it is scary and dangerous, let try to survive.
I'll try to live well.
I won't be a burden to you. So,
let's turn around, okay?
Do you know what kind of place that really is? How can you say that?
I can't send you there.
Even if I die,
I won't send you back to Hwangbang!
Then what should we do now?
Kim Ok Ryeon, the suspect for theassassination in Shineuijoo.
Every time I get caught, are you going to scale the wall?
Yes, I will!
Even if it's a hundred or a thousand times.
If you're there, I'm going to find you.
That's why you are such a fool.
Because of you, I can't do anything either.
I can't live well because I'm scared you'll die.
I can't do it anymore.
I can't handle it now.
Jung Tae, I will live well.
I'll be able to live well in Hwangbang.
After finding father's killer, you can return.
No.
I can't let you go.
Idiot.
The person who arrested me.
Do you know who it is?
5 years ago at Yalu River,
he's the one who
killed my mother and Hunter Choi.
What?
He's the one who followed me from Shineuijoo to Shanghai.
Just by thinking about his eyes, my heart drops in fear.
Without you, where am I supposed to go to hide?
Ok Ryeon...
Jung Tae,
Let's go back.
Please let's go.
Ahjussi!
Ahjussi.
Jung Tae, save my wife and my children.
Those people to my children...
Ah it hurts.
Ahjussi!
Ahjussi, what's going on?
Ahjussi... Ahjussi!
Ok Ryeon, stay in the car. Don't come outside, got it?
Okay.
What do you think you're doing?!
Ok Ryeon.
Are you ok?
What is the matter?
She just took medication and fell asleep. She'll be better once she wakes up.
Thank you.
Please take care of Ok Ryeon.
I'll do that.
Excuse me, doctor.
Ok Ryeon has a full schedule at night. She'll be able to wake up by then, right?
Don't look at me like that. If she misses her schedule, do you think I'm the only one with a loss?
Our Ok Ryeon will receive a greater loss.
Even though she's affiliated with Hwangbang,
if she misses her stage even before she begins her career, who will take her afterwards?
Please help us.
My heart...
Please help us.
Please help.
Doctor please help us.
What is it like in Hwangbang?
How great must they be
that it's fine to cause something like this yet not even blink once?
If people gets hit like this, what should we do?
I'm sorry to you, Jung Tae, but there are no evidence that directly points to Hwangbang.
But
how this happened, it seems like the way of Hwangbang.
Seul Doo Sung, that man,
in 1927, there was a massacre of about 5000 workers in Shineuijoo,
for that he also hired some people from the borders.
The situation now is similar to
what happened back then.
Then why did Hwangbang choose me?
There are plenty of others but why me?
That, it's because of your fate.
Just as your father's fate was,
your fate also must be intertwined with Bangsamtong.
Those crazy bastards.
What is going on? How did this happen?
Is it Ill Gook Hwae?
It's Hwangabang.
What?
Why would Hwangbang do this?
How can I defeat Hwangbang?
Here, here.
Take a glass.
After the fight is over, they wipe the blood with liquor and drink the liquor calling the blood as a side dish.
They dance imitating the captured prisoners.
Its a common tradition of the Mongolians.
Is it them?
Since I didn't their faces, I have to take them to confirm it.
When did you come from Mongolia?
Did you pass thru Manchuria?
Did you by any chance stop by Dandong?
No. no. Our,
Didn't we see each other?
Leader Mo,
What are you doing here?
What do you mean?
Since you saved my family members from Dandong, I came to thank you.
Though I didn't prepare this,
would you like some meat?
Can I interpret your act as wanting to wage war against Hwangbang?
How about considering it as my taking a walk under the beautiful moon?
Then, what is the reason for attacking those guys?
As I was passing by, I heard a familiar dialect.
With happy heart, I wanted to hear about my hometown but they started to pick a fight with me.
I guess those guys made a bad mistake.
Enjoy the moonlight.
Thank you for your care.
Did he say anything else?
He asked if we stopped by Dandong.
Make sure you watch what you say.
Yes.
What kind of place is Hwangbang?
Here is our Club Shanghai.
And across over here, France's Club Enthro, Club Monsieur, Club Poison, and
there are many lounges for high officials of France. Plus two casinos: Great World Casino, and New World Casino.
There are three horse race tracks that are under Hwangbang.
Even from the Great World Casino alone, their profit is two times of what Club Shanghai earns.
Then why is Hwangbang so eager to take over Club Shanghai?
You said Seul Doo Sung funds Chiang Kai Shek's army, right?
To keep up the endless needs of the military, even with all the money from the French casinos and the clubs,
he can't keep up with the demand.
That's why he wants to deal opium at Club Shanghai, then it will lead to dealing in all other places.
That's right. Club Shanghai is the main vein. If you give a shot of opium here,
you can see that opium will spread to all places.
Then he will have an endless demand, and until all of those who are addicted die,
he will have money to support the army.
That's right.
That's the reason why Seul Doo Sung is eagerly putting his neck out on the line for Club Shanghai.
Then the reason why my father died was because he stopped the opium route that Leader Seul wanted?
That's right. That's he passed away.
Then why doesn't Hwangbang operate Club Shanghai themselves?
Seul Doo Sung has the reputation as the head of Chirinbang.
As the top of Chirin, if it's revealed that he's running clubs and dealing drugs, what do you think will happen?
The people of Shanghai who shudder at the thought of opium, do you think they will leave him alone?
Father.
That's why he needs someone loyal to run Club Shanghai for him.
That's why Hwangbang needs us.
He has the facade of a patriot and is heading the Chirin although he is a actually murder and a gang.
So he needs people like us to wipe his bottom.
Club Shanghai
Seeing how you came to see me again,
did you decide to stay at Bangsamtong?
Yes.
Due to my short sighted thoughts, I caused you much problems..
I apologize, father.
Return of the prodigal son.
It feels
like I found my lost son.
I feel very happy.
Then,
as a father, can I ask you a favor?
Yes, go ahead.
Jung Tae.
From now on you must become a knife and a shield for Hwangbang.
Can you do that?
Yes, father.
Okay.
From now on, you be the head of Club Shanghai.
Me, operate the club? --Of course!
Since you're my son, isn't it natural?
Is there a problem or something?
Then what about Jae Hwa Hyungnim?
Last night,
there were more than 10 people
who died at Bangsamtong.
If the owner cannot protect them, what right does he have?
Of course he should remove himself.
Then what do I have to do?
What do you mean?
As a knife for Hwangbang, you should do your best.
Kill Jung Jae Hwa.
Who wants to see me when the club is not open yet?
Why the hell did you want to see me?
I came to offer you a deal.
A deal?
A deal that you cannot turn down as
Bangsamtong's owner and operator of Club Shanghai,
