Inspiring Generation
Did you see that?
That is Chulsajang. (Penetrating Inner Strength Technique) If you get hit by one of those, you get a huge bruise.
Take a good look.
Kazuki, what brings you here?
Please apologize for our intrusion, Shinichi. Gaya ordered us to bring you.
I will finish the fight and go. Back down.
I'm sorry.
I'll go on my own will.
Are you okay?
You seem really surprised.
Now, you can feel relieved.
The debt I incurred today,
I will not forget.
You don't have to considerate it as a debt.
Hwangbang will always protect you.
I will definitely...
repay the debt.
Episode 15
"Seo Shi Seul"
That's right.
A name that was given due to an enchantress who jumped into a river to her death under the orders of the Queen of Empire Wol
and turned into a clam to plead her unfair treatment.
That's why it's "Seo Shi Seul."
That my mother's death was lamentable is what you are trying to tell me?
Princess is an exceptionally perceptive woman.
So, talking to you is rather arduous.
Who killed her?
By whose hands did my mother die?
Your mother was a very beautiful woman.
To the point that it was unbelievable that she was a lady of the yakuza.
She was beautiful and was affectionate.
So, most of the people in the Shanghai Club,
always liked your mother.
The room that you are using at the Club Shanghai. That powder room...
that was also your mother's.
Though the war was over and Denkai left,
that room was left untouched.
That was because many people remembered Ryoko.
Even Shanghai's owner left that room alone.
She was a woman who could open the hearts of her enemy.
Your mother was that kind of a woman.
Princess Gaya, Shinichi-san is here.
Ask him to come in.
You're fine after getting hit with Wang Baek San's chulsajang.
That's amazing.
About Wang Baek San's involvement(in his father's death),
Shin Jung Tae
looked as though he figured it out.
Okay. I think he would have.
Now, all we have to do is wait for Shin Jung Tae to stand alone.
You did good, Shinichi.
Princess?
About Princess Ryoko, what did he say?
Did Seul Doo Sung,
pretend to know about Princess Ryoko's death?
I heard that the rumor that the person who killed my father,
and the person who killed my mother are different,
and was spread widely here in Shanghai.
What is making you curious?
About my mother's death, what is there for you to be curious?
It's nothing.
Hey, look here.
What are you up to?
I want to be strong.
Why? To revenge for your father?
Not because of only that.
Then let me ask you one thing.
Who do you think is Bangsamtong's owner?
Isn't it Jung Jae Hwa?
Moron!
Your head is filled with sh*t.
Fighting...
begins with your head.
It will be awhile...
It will really be awhile.
Hey, Shin Jung Tae,
With unhealed wounds, where have you been since the morning?
With those unhealed wounds, don't over do things!
Hey, can you take a step back?
Oh. Is there anything worth seeing?
Wah, who is this? Perhaps our Ok Ryeon?
Pretty.
Where are you going?
To an audition.
If I get picked, they'll put me on the stage right away.
I am going to make her a star like Mei Ling, Shanghai's big star.
Mei Ling?
Do you know how much Shanghai's top singer Mei Ling makes?
Even if we deliver all the water here, we'll make less than what she earns in a day.
Stop giving her false hope.
If wanting to be a singer can make you into a singer,
then everybody would be a singer in the world.
Ah, now.
She is not just anybody. She can really make it.
Ah, I'm nervous.
Hurry up and get famous, so I can stop pick-pocketing.
Do well.
I'll do my best. I'll be going.
Let's go.
Aren't you nervous?
No.
Hey,
sexiness has to come through. Isn't this a little weak here?
Here, just like this..
I am sorry.
Thank you.
Are you alright?
Yes.
Hey, Ok Ryeon, it felt so good.
It felt better than when I saw the sh*t cart this morning.
Really?
I'll be giving my greetings.
I'll be in charge of security as the
newly appointed intelligence director,
Denkai Aoki. Let me formally greet you.
Because all of you are elders who take care of the public and private matters,
I won't make it long.
As for the future of security,
to fortify the loosened discipline,
I suggest a completely different structure.
Look here.
For the last 20 years, it's a way that has become a tradition and a form of habit to us.
You, who have been here only for few days as the new director, want to change that?
I'm not at an age to depend on habits.
Please give me some slack for being young and passionate.
I'm not trying to train you,
so don't be angry.
Angry? I would never be.
I will diligently ask the elders and
will learn as well.
In saying that,
my suggestion has already been implemented.
Will it be okay?
The one who is in charge of instituting law,
Leader Seul Doo Sung?
Right.
That's absolutely right.
I will most certainly cooperate.
The path was easy but because of you, it became difficult.
Do you have anything final to say?
Only your death can satisfy your mistake, but
I will give you one more chance.
The one and only magic,
coffin magic.
Let me pierce it with some knives.
Look carefully.
Hey, I must have drilled the hole in the wrong place.
Save me!
It's okay! If you have a bottle of Bang Won Dang, you'll be healed.
My magic always ends up killing a person on each show.
If you need me, call me.
Ah, really, I'm going crazy.
You bastards, are we at some village market show?
Are we celebrating the 70th birthday?
What are we going to do now?
There's not many days until the opening.
Isn't there anyone else?
What are you doing here?
Isn't this the auditions?
Why did you two come?
We came for the audition.
You stop thinking about other things and just be diligent with delivering water.
Please let me try once.
Don't regret it later.
Let's try for once.
There's no one else left anyway.
♫ Somewhere over the rainbow,
♫ way up high.
♫ There's a land
That I've heard of once in a lullaby.
♫ Somewhere over the rainbow,
♫ skies are blue.
♫ And the dreams that you dare to dream,
♫ really do come true.
♫ Someday I'll wish upon a star, and wake up where the clouds are...
♫ far behind me.
♫ Troubles melt like lemon drops, a way above the chimney tops,
♫ that's where you'll find me.
♫ Somewhere...
Memorial Tablets of Gaya's mother and father.
I have something to ask for the last time, Gaya.
My father,
how did he die?
Did he...
he suffer much?
That's right.
Also,
how was he?
He asked me to kill him.
Being held by that unbearable pain,
he asked me to kill him.
So,
did you send him away peacefully?
Without causing him pain,
did you send him away peacefully?
Right,
I sent him away peacefully...
Without causing him pain.
Thank you.
For sending my father peacefully.
If it's difficult,
leave Shanghai.
You have a place and someone to be with.
I...
I'm the owner of Shanghai's Ill Gook Hwae.
So, if anybody obstructs my way,
I won't let anybody get away with it.
Even if that person may be you.
Shin Jung Tae brought his father's memorial tablet?
Yes, I told him to come in but he wants to see you outside.
What's the reason?
I could not find out.
Well, I'll find out when I meet him.
Shanghai's owner Shin Young Chool, his son Shin Jung Tae,
came to see Hwangbang's Leader Seol.
Hey, you guy.
Between us , why do we need such formality?
I came because I have 2 requests to ask of you.
Request, you say?
Go ahead and speak.
First,
I wish to keep my father's memorial tablet at Hwangbang.
Shanghai owner's memorial tablet in Hwangbang?
Can I ask you why?
The world will always continue to change. But...
my father,
at least at Hwangbang, you'll always remember him as Shanghai's owner.
That's why I am requesting it.
Would you accept the request?
Of course.
If Shanghai's owner will eternally rest at Hwangbang,
that will be an unspeakable honor for us, too.
Escort him.
Fine,
what is the other request?
I lost my mother when I was 10.
I came here, to Shanghai, for my father's funeral.
This Shin Jung Tae, now without parents,
request that
you let me serve you as my father. Will you accept?
Me?
You want to consider me as your father?
If, you accept me as your son,
with you,
the affection that I did not share with my own father,
I would like to share with you.
A father and son relationship...
will you accept?
Your request...
I will accept. -Shanghai's owner's son
became Leader Seul's son!
Shanghai's son is now Leader Seul's son!
What?
Hwangbang was given to that bastard, Shin Jung Tae?
Ah that, it hasn't happened yet.
Later in the afternoon, at Seol Rak, it'll officially happen.
Apparently, it's not a father-son relationship but a Seol Rak relationship.
This and that, what is this bastard?
You see, Hyungnim, this guy wanted to serve under you and slowly learn the way of things.
He says he has good information, too. Right?
It.s enough that my head might explode because of the club opening.
Hwangbang and Shin Jung Tae, those sons of a bit*hes are together now?
What shall we do, Hyungnim?
Do what?
I still have the operation rights to Club Shanghai.
I also have the document that will blow Hwangbang away in one swift punch.
I am still the winner.
Leader Seul and Shin Jung Tae have decided to take a father-son relationship?
Princess, if they were to become a father and son, Hwangbang and Bangsamtong's relationship will become closer
which means that it'll become Ill Gook Hwae's burden.
They might look like father and son on the outside, but there is no way that it'll actually be like that.
What do you mean by that?
In China, there are two things that should never be broken.
Do you know what they are?
The first glass is lifted up to heaven.
The second, to the earth.
The third, to bind the father and son relationship.
First,
for bringing me to Shanghai,
thank you.
This bow is a thankful greeting for making paternal ties with me.
This next bow is for the life long debt that I have to repay
you; its a sign of thanking you for giving me that debt.
Therefore, Hwangbong Seol Doo Young and Shin Jung Tae,
they will make father and son ties,
and having become father and son, with heaven and earth and
to the guests who are here, we are announcing their intentions.
As expected,
he is truly like Shanghai's owner's son.
Shin Jung Tae,
what do you think is the reason for him to make the father and son relationship with you?
Are you trying to teach me?
What did I say before?
Shing Jung Tae is not the kind of guy that can be trained.
We were the ones who asked him to be the Bangsamtong's owner!
Since you formalized the paternal relationship, if you kill him
you will end up a person who has no morals.
If you let him, he will wield his knife at your neck. Aren't those the same thing?
I know, I know that!
He was purposely kneeling before the people making his request.
What did you want me to do?!!
If I deny his request,
I would have been seen as worthless person to Shanghai's owner!
It was the era of my becoming a weak useless old man!
Swiftly end the relationship and kill Shin Jung Tae.
That's impossible.
The relationship is already formed and has been announced to the world.
Then what should we do now?
To Shanghai owner's son Shin Jung Tae, will you
give Club Shanghai?
Just give the order.
I will take care of the matter without causing harm to your reputation.
No, that's not right.
Leader!
Assistant Leader!
What brings you here?
Since it's finished, I wish to return to Bangsamtong.
Bangsamtong?
With such a large place at Hwangbang,
why would you go elsewhere?
Since I have you as my father,
what worries will I have wherever I go?
I will serve under Jung Jae Hwa to
learn about Club Shanghai's operation.
What did you say?
Now, I'm the owner of Bangsamtong.
True Enjoyment
Since Shin Jung Tae can't kill Leader Seol,
the situation is mutually the same.
If one kills his parent, the heavens will not forget.
It's one of China's old beliefs.
Because Seol Doo Sung is an enemy that killed his father,
you're saying that Shin Jung Tae can kill him at any time.
Hwangbang is not that easily a dismissed a place.
I'm curious where Leader Seol will make his next move.
In order to save Gaya, killing that bastard Shin Jung Tae,
isn't it an obvious choice?
Of course, by the same reason, I tried to kill Shin Jung Tae, too.
But by killing Shin Jung Tae,
would Princess Gaya change?
Rather, her anger and hate for Ill Gook Hwae,
will become greater.
If you kill Shin Jung Tae,
just like when it happened with Princess Ryoko,
a battle between Gaya and Denkai
will start again.
Are you for Gaya or for our leader?
Why you're doing this, is it sincere?
Or is it for her affection?
For her affection?
Is there a reason why I can't cherish Gaya in my heart?
Shinichi-san,
what you embraced (in your heart) once for Ryoko,
wasn't it your fool-hardy sincerity?
And in the end, you weren't able to protect it.
Are you going to repeat the same mistake?
You're arrogant.
This time, it won't happen.
This Aoki will prevent it from happening.
Hide it.
Even if you are the adopted son of the leader, if you love his granddaughter,
he will not forgive you.
No longer will Ill Gook Hwae be an organization that was formed by ruthless means.
Ill Gook Hwae has to be remade
by whoever is willing(to remake it).
The new war...
Aoki...
it will start because of you.
Bak Chi Gi and Man Chi.
Yes, Hyungnim.
Get the guys together.
What is the reason, Hyungnim?
We're going to Hwangbang to throw a bomb.
What? What bomb?
Shanghai owner's autopsy report bomb.
Hyungnim, if you throw that out, you'll be in danger as well.
If Hwangbang and Shin Jung Tae team up,
Club Shanghai will be taken away from me.
Since that will happen, I'll throw the bomb first to cause a stir or
make them into enemies.
I have no choice but to throw the bomb.
This f**ker moves fast. Already moving in for an attack, I see.
Hey, Hwangbang,
you came to swallow up Bangsamtong?
Hey you, bastard,
you should be replying. You already forgot how to speak Korean?
Hyungnim...
Hey, Shin Jung Tae, what did you just say?
Under Hyungnim, I want to learn.
With Leader Seol you made paternal ties.
With me, you want to make brotherly ties?
Is there a reason not to?
Are you kidding with me?
For a guy who took Shanghai's biggest boss as a father,
why come under me to serve?
Did your new father tell you to do that?
After you come under me,
if things don't look peachy, to try a coup D'etat?
It's not like that.
If its not true, then tell me a reason that I can understand, bastard!
I found out who killed my father.
What?
So, I'm trying to revenge my father.
I don't have a posse nor have anything as much as a toe nail.
So, I can strengthen myself while I serve under you.
You want me to lay the groundwork for your revenge?
You said it last time.
According to who I side with,
my life or my death will be determined by that choice. So I
decided to choose Jung Jae Hwae.
So,
now is the time for you to make a choice.
Why me?
Not Hwangbang, not Ill Gook Hwae either,
why me?
At least,
you did not stab my father in the back.
Good.
However, I have a condition, too.
From now on, you...
will go when I say you go. Stop if I tell you to stop.
Your wreckless fighting ways
will end right here.
Can you do that?
Yes. I'll do that.
Even if you want revenge,
you can not without my permission.
Can you do that?
Yes.
Good.
I'll teach you.
But before that, I have to test you on something.
Hyungnim's expertise is boxing.
Have you boxed before?
No.
Boxing, you know?
Boxing.
It's a sport that can't use feet. Got it?
Why?
"Why?"
Just... just because.
One year old bastard is "soojin".
In the wild, they call them "sanjin".
I'm going to have to confirm what kind of bastard you really are.
♫ If you trust the one chance that's been given to me, ♫
♫ If you were to tell me that I have no other name, ♫
♫ Oh, oh, come closer, ♫
♫ I only have this one thing, ♫
♫ Unlike you, this is the only thing I have, ♫
♫ Oh~oh, Oh~oh, ♫
♫ So I can't do it with anyone else in this world, ♫
♫ Even when I feel like I'll go crazy, Oh~ ♫
♫ I'm on my way up the line, ♫
I wasn't suppose to use my feet, right?
Why? Who told you that?
That's in regards to boxing.
This fight you were in was a kickboxing match, where you use both feet and hands.
By using any methods and means, just winning is
Bangsamtongs way of fighting.
Though your father didn't like that, my thoughts differ from his.
You just have to win
to seek revenge. You just have to win to protect what you want to protect.
So when you fight, there are no rules. Got it?
Yes.
Bak Chi Gi and Mang Chi. --Yes, Hyungnim. From today,
Shin Jung Tae is second only to me.
Without considering his stature or age,
you serve him as second hyungnim. Got it?
Yes, Hyungnim.
Yes.
Ah...
For a gangster, outer appearance makes who he is.
Get a suit that makes you look like one.
Leader!
Now you have to decide.
Club Shanghai...
is now Jung Jae Hwa's.
Not Shin Jung Tae,
but Jung Jae Hwa?
To that kid,
you have to make him realize that serving under Jung Jae Hwa is meaningless.
Leader...
Even if Shin Jung Tae wields a knife at my neck,
as an elder and
as a Leader,
without even that fortitude,
how can I get the respect as a leader?!
Even if we wait until we understand his intentions, it won't be too late.
Then...
whom do I send to Jung Jae Hwa?
Here. The next main singer of Club Shanghai,
and congratulating the superstar Kim Ok Ryeon's audition, a toast!
So now Ok Ryeon will be working at Shanghai Club?
That's right.
Not quite yet.
Not standing at the stage but singing behind the stage for the main singer.
Then, is it like a stand-in singer?
Yes.
Hey, Unni. A singer is a singer. What is this about stand-in singer?
Ok Ryeon just said that.
Why are you getting pissed at me for?
Anyway.
Anyway, the important thing is... at the rehearsal tomorrow at the club,
I'll dress up Ok Ryeon so beautifully
and make her become a main singer in one swoop!
Kim Ok Ryeon, you trust me, right?
Fine.
Anyway, it's congratulatory thing. So let's toast.
I'll wish you a good performance tomorrow.
Yes, thank you.
Cheers.
Jung Tae...
Didn't you sleep yet?
What is this full suit?
What?
From tomorrow, you're working at Club Shanghai, right?
Yes.
You know Ok Ryeon will be working at Club Shanghai, right?
Did you pass the audition?
Then, you thought I'd fail?
Even if she is a stand-in singer, you should still congratulate her.
Stand-in singer?
It's overwhelming for me to be on the stage right now.
Even so, congratulations.
Just say it. Bring something for us tomorrow.
Got it.
I like freesia rather than roses.
What?
It's just for your information, you idiot. Just information.
I'm going in.
What an obtuse guy. See what will happen to him when he shows up if he's empty handed!
From now on this is your house, you guys!
Let's go in.
Let's go.
What is it?
This...
From now on Club Shanghai is our territory.
But I'm not happy at all!
Even if that Shin Jung Tae is Shanghai owner's son,
when I was busting heads with rocks,
to that kid who was probably sitting on his sh*t,
I just can't...
call him "hyungnim."
Do you know what makes me even more pissed off?
That Do Ggoo bastard...
is acting like Jung Tae.
Then what should we do, Hyungnim?
Before the club opens,
we are going to set the pecking order.
It's looking pretty good.
Wow! It's spacious.
Now? Yes, now.
Bastard, are you sure we can do that right now? --It's okay.
The stay at the Club Shanghai was rather memorable.
Until I come back for it, I'll leave it in your good hands.
For how long?
You can go first.
I have a favor to ask.
When you go inside, there is a room that my mother created.
That room..
I'll protect it.
While I'm here,
your mother's room..
I will protect it as it stands.
Thank you.
It's been a long time.
It suits you well.
To each person, there is a life that suits them well.
As I chose Ill Gook Hwae because I am Ill Gook Hwae's daughter, a daughter of gisaeng
became a singer.
Don't make it harder for Jung Tae.
What did you say?
What do you think I'll do with Shin Jung Tae?
I already know Ill Gook Hwae is eyeing Club Shanghai and Bangsamtong.
I'll ask a favor to you. If you don't like what Shin Jung Tae is doing,
then you can leave. Understand?
What?
Shanghai owner's son, Shin Jung Tae decided on his own to live as a fighter.
That is Shin Jung Tae's fate.
Princess,
do you have something to say?
Though it's out of line.. --Say it with your life on the line.
You said there must be boss and subordinates.
Since I am being taught by a subordinate...
To uphold the boss and subordinate order,
if you are giving me a warning or otherwise,
I guess I have to take appropriate action.
Isn't that true?
Tell me now.
The one who is carrying a heavy stone will show redness on one's face
and groans come out of one's mouth.
I'm carrying a heavy stone?
It's a heavy stone in your heart..in regards to Shin Jung Tae.
Only by putting down the stone,
there will be a boss and subordinate order.
The heavy stone that I'm carrying
may not be about Shin Jung Tae, have you thought about that?
If I ever seem overwhelmed by that stone,
then you kill me.
That cannot be done.
Do Ggoo, are you alright?
Shut your mouth, you son of a bit*h.
Oh! Coming at me, huh?
The dogs are watching you fu**ing bastard!
Get up.
Come.
To my head!
Come on. Come on.
Wait a minute! Oh! Wait a minute.
Wait a minute. --This guy is stupid.
I did wrong. There goes a bitch.
Hey, you f**ker!
Are you done?!
With Shin Jung Tae,
are you saying that we got ahead of you?!
You mother f***ers! If you are setting a pecking order...
accordring to Jung Jae Hwa, then
Shin Jung Tae and then me.
Then it's you shit ass pig!
Then it's this son of a bit*h after you. Got it you, mother f***ers?
It's not over yet, you asshole!
It's not over? Huh?!
Hey, you sleazy bastard!
How can a gangster use a weapon?
A fight is about winning, isn't it?
It's what Jung Jae Hwa hyungnim said: His method of winning at all cost.
You shit pig bastard. Come on! Come.
Come, you bastard.
You know the Bangsangtong method already.
All you have to do is win at any cost, you crazy son of a bitch!
Tie this bastard up and
the next one we get is Shin Jung Tae.
It's the muggers, Hyungnim.
Hwangbang's old man has already started the rumor.
Since it's not opened yet, just leave.
Why? Are you the president here?
What if I am?
Look here, when you see a new owner you should greet them.
But what are you saying?
Isn't that right? Correct.
New owner?
You didn't know?
The rumor is all over the place that there is no owner at Club Shanghai.
Rumors are all over the place.
You heard a useless rumor from somewhere.
Here the owner is Bangsamtong owner, Jung Jae Hwa.
An owner only exists because an owner can change.
Guys!
Wait and see. You can become a new Shin Jung Tae that
Hwangbang will be more scared of.
You have to throw away half of your body. Can you do that?
Then can I win?
Take off the clothes that you stole, you bitch!
I will take if off.
Kim Ok Ryeon.
This girl and Shin Jung Tae are dating?
Club Shanghai's future and
opium distribution. --You want to make a deal with me?
It's starting now.
I can't give up. There must be a way for me to win!
