Swallow the Sun
Enjoy:)
Episode 18
I've got it all set up.
Mi Ran and Chairman Yoo have agreed to it.
Then let's begin.
If this turns out to be another trick of yours,
I won't ever forgive you.
The reason I'm taking this great risk is because...
I believe you.
That person I draw with my hot tears.
That person I cannot erase in my heart.
No matter how much I wish, no matter how much I hope,
I can't help but to keep longing.
I will throw it all away, throw all away.
Even my heart that remembers you.
I will forget it all, forget all.
That person that is painful to love.
I am about to begin.
I will bring that man to destruction, no matter what I have to do to make it happen.
I don't know what he meant to you,
but if you have even a single positive memory left,
please erase it.
I, myself, will not think about the fact that he and I share the same blood.
What are you doing here?
I came to tell you something urgent but I saw the lights on
and came to see if you were in here.
What are those tears about?
Why are you looking at this painting with tears in your eyes?
I'm not sure myself.
The moment I saw the painting, I was just deeply moved.
I thought you were a calloused soul,
but you're more tender hearted than you appear.
Is this the person in that grave?
Yes.
In my heart, it seems like only yesterday when we were together.
But in my head, I can't even remember her face.
This was very difficult for me to finish.
Just recently, I learned she had a son.
I asked Manager Han to look for him,
but I want you to be involved and help find him.
Alright.
Ah, what was the urgent matter you came to see me about?
Oh, yes.
From what I've been able to find out,
it looks most certain that Las Vegas' MBM and the Venetian Groups
are looking to invest in Macau.
If that happens, Cirque du Soleil will also go to Macau.
To prevent this something needs to be done immediately.
I already know about that.
I'll take care of it.
You just worry about getting Joong Moon Casino.
Yes, sir.
They've made their decision to go to Macau.
I've wasted the time and money...
that are so precious to you...
and ended up as nothing more than a failure.
I'm sorry...
that this is all I am.
I told you before...
to never say "I'm sorry"...
in front of me.
Then what should I say?
It drives me crazy that I can't live up to your expectations.
I can't stand my own incompetence
so what is it that I can possibly say?!
If you show your weakness, you'll end up as someone's bait.
If you show your opponent your fault or weakness, they will use it to take you down.
Until you're absolutely certain you've won,
don't ever let them get a glimpse of your thoughts or feelings.
Oh, by the way, I heard President Son will be attending today's board meeting.
What?
If President Son Tae Man attends, there surely will be some fireworks.
- Who is that? - Oh yeah, you wouldn't know him.
He's the head of the Group's Construction Division and also owns Sang In Golf Course.
His work keeps him in Seoul most of the time.
He was against Tae Hyuk's plans to bring Cirque du Soleil from the beginning
and made sure everybody knew it.
When he finds out about the failure, he's going to raise a stink.
Even in front of the Chairman, he's not afraid to speak his mind.
I understand Cirque du Soleil ended up going to Macau. Is that true?
It's not been confirmed yet.
The rumors of it are rife out there.
And you, the person responsible for it,
you just sit not even offering a reasonable explanation as to why it's not confirmed?
This far-fetched plan of yours to bring that show to Korea,
do you know the damage this failure will bring to Dae Jeong Group?
The board did everything you asked and gave you everything you wanted.
Isn't the lack of progress on the Baek Sung Ri resort because we were waiting for that confirmation?
The loss of money is great but even more than that,
the loss of integrity will do unspeakable damage to the Group.
Chairman, I believe he must be held responsible for this mess.
I don't intend to hold Director Jang responsible.
Chairman, that's being less than objective under these circumstances.
You've always rewarded those that did well and punished those that did not.
So for you to show favoritism to Director Jang in this situation does not bode well.
Then, why don't you sit here?
The person that assured us that the MBM Group and Venetian Group
would most certainly invest in Jeju... was you.
You said you would personally take on the responsibility of lobbying for it.
But that didn't happen.
The fact that Cirque du Soleil went to Macau is not Director Jang's fault,
but is based solely on logistical reasons of their own.
Bu... But it's a fact that he failed to convince them...
It's enough... of that.
Okay, let's end the meeting here.
Director Jang, stay behind a moment. The rest of you are excused.
Don't be discouraged.
You must stand tall no matter what happens.
The more you hang your head,
the greater the number of people who will look down on you.
I... believe in you.
Don't beat yourself up too much.
I will never disappoint you again.
I understand now the meaning of the saying "the arm bends inward."*
*People showing favoritism to their own.
You'd better think this through carefully.
Trying to show the Chairman that you're more competent than Jang Tae Hyuk...
just be careful.
Outdoing Jang Tae Hyuk in front of the Chairman, could backfire on you.
Not every owner in the world has to be better than the people who work under him.
How you use those people and their abilities is what defines the owner.
Let me remind you again that you are the owner.
You watch carefully and see how I use Kim Jung Woo to get Joong Moon casino.
Watch closely.
[Jackson]
Yes.
Let's meet.
Okay.
This packet contains the list of the major stockholders,
the list of the Casino's high roller guests,
and the company's confidential business plans.
That's every confidential and essential document of the company's.
If you have an ulterior motive,
I just gave my enemy the very sword to cut off my neck.
I assure you that you will most definitely glean the benefit of believing in me.
After you came to me with that proposal, I had so many thoughts going through my head.
I understand what you were going through but I hesitated with my decision.
That reason being... that you are Chairman Jang Min Ho's son.
It's a double edged sword.
You want to take revenge on the man who abandoned you and your mother.
But the fact remains that you are his son.
I'm still not sure if it's the right thing to do to help you destroy him.
And another thing.
I worry that taking revenge on Chairman Jang could be what destroys you in the end.
Do you remember what you said to the three of us that night you took us to Las Vegas?
You told us the person who established that fantastical Las Vegas was a gangster named Bugsy.
If a gangster can dream a dream like that, then there's no reason why we can't.
What you said that night... I still hold it deep in my heart.
Revenge is only the beginning of my dream, not the end so don't worry too much about me.
As you instructed, I obtained these documents.
The major shareholder list, the list of the high rollers, and their business plans.
Better than I expected.
I know all the shareholders except this Na Bong Chul.
Who is he? He owns quite a bit of the shares.
He's the head of a gang.
His territory is quite widespread and his business is pretty impressive.
Break him down first.
Yes, sir.
Hey!
What do you want?
I came to see President Na.
- What do you want with him? - I have an appointment to see him.
If you tell him it's Kim Jung Woo from Dae Jeong Group, he'll know.
Follow me.
Get up!
Come here! C'mere!
Everybody down.
At attention.
Some of you don't know why I'm beating you.
As you're being struck, you're probably wondering what the reason was.
Of course you wouldn't know because there is no special reason.
While I was in prison, you were taking it easy, living the good life.
Now it's time for you to be back on your toes.
- Sang Dol. - Yes, President.
I'm going to Jeju for a few days to get some fresh air.
While I'm gone, work on filling these guys up with fear.
Yes, sir.
What is it?
Yes. He said he had an appointment with you.
My name is Kim Jung Woo from Dae Jeong Group.
What is it you want?
- Can we go somewhere quiet? - It's quiet here. Go ahead.
My Chairman is very interested in the stocks you have in Joong Moon Casino.
Interest? What kind of interest?
If you will allow, he wishes to buy them.
That man recently opened a casino, didn't he?
- Yes. - Then...
Why doesn't he just worry about his own instead of eyeing someone else's dessert?
I'm not interested in selling, so get out.
Is this... how you conduct business?
Huh?
You're just a rookie. Aren't you pushing yourself?
- You rude bastard...! - Sang Dol.
You stay out of it.
What a strange kid.
Aren't you afraid of being here?
I've been around a bit myself.
Oh, is that so?
So what?
Our Chairman will soon acquire Joong Moon Casino.
It will be to your advantage to sell your stocks now.
Having advised you of that, I will go now.
Yes, sir. I heard you clearly so now, go away.
That kid...
I like his style.
This is my first lecture so I'm nervous and trembling inside.
Even if I make mistakes, please be patient and understanding.
My name is Lee Su Hyun.
I don't know how much this course, Show Business,
which is being offered for the first time this term,
will help those of you majoring in Tourism.
Rather than relying solely on textbooks,
I plan on using my personal experiences in my lectures.
I will share my experience of working in Las Vegas, considered the number one tourist attraction.
And my experience of working with the world renowned Cirque du Soleil.
Have you ever seen a performance of Cirque du Soleil?
No.
Then let's watch the show before we begin the lecture.
- Thank you. - I'll see in you in our next class.
You're Lee Su Hyun, right?
I'm Han Sun Young. I work with Jung Woo at the resort.
I see.
But why are you...?
Remember when you came to the resort to talk to Jung Woo?
I accidentally overheard the two of you talking.
About Jung Woo having a father and how he wants to take revenge on him.
Can you tell me who his father is?
I don't know how he's planning to take revenge,
but if I know, I want to try and stop him.
I'm sorry. I don't think Jung Woo would want that.
I'm afraid there is nothing I can tell you.
Isn't that Han Sun Young?
- Yes, you know her? - Yeah. She works at the resort.
What was that about?
She just wanted to ask me something.
How did the lecture go?
I think lecturing is right up my alley.
I'm thinking maybe I'll stay here and do this for good.
Tae Hyuk is dying here, and you couldn't care less.
After that failure to bring Cirque du Soleil, he seems to really be struggling.
Even if I find out, that won't change anything.
If the head office decided on Macau, there must have been good reason to do so.
Shouldn't you just accept it?
You know very well why I started all this.
I... raced towards the same dream as yours.
My dream has already been shattered.
Your dream is something that you've decided on, on your own and has nothing to do with me.
I can't live.
Please come back to me.
Please.
To what do I owe this pleasure? And having you call me first?
I was feeling bad about treating you so coldly before.
Let's sit.
I hear you've been going through a difficult time.
You showing your concern makes it better.
Do you want me to contact the head office and find out what happened?
No. There's no need for that.
It's over and done with.
Is that really the reason why you came to see me?
If there's something you want to say, go ahead.
About Jung Woo...
Don't you think he's been acting strange lately?
How?
Don't you think he's different from the Jung Woo you knew before?
He's no different to me.
He's still the same cold person that won't show what's inside.
When you called I was so excited, and foolishly hoped for something else.
I guess I shouldn't be surprised.
Have you ever heard anything from your father
about maybe you having a brother somewhere?
What are you talking about?
What you just said, what does it mean?
I just thought about what it would be like for you to have a brother, that's all.
And if that was Jung Woo,
wouldn't you be able to complement each other to be better?
The fact that I know that bastard
causes me to want to scream out with every muscle in my body.
Did you meet with them?
Wow, that Kang Rae and Se Dol. They won't bend an inch.
Bringing up Detective Hyun almost got me lynched.
I can't believe they're still so upset over that.
Now what do we do?
Detective Hyun is dead. His wife won't say anything.
What are we going to say to the Chairman?
Yes.
Why?
Okay.
Who is it?
Sun Young needs to see you outside for a minute.
What do you want?
By any chance, have you ever heard anything about Jung Woo's father?
Now what are you trying to do to me. I'm up to my eyeballs in frustration.
How could he, you know we all grew up together in the orphanage!
He does.
What are you saying?
A few years ago, Detective Hyun took Jung Woo to a nursing home.
There he met his grandmother.
I'm sure that's when Jung Woo found out.
He definitely has a father.
He's after revenge on his father, that's the reason why he's been acting strange.
Here's the picture.
Why do you suddenly want a picture of Jung Woo?
Let's go.
Where?
The person that was here, her grandson... was this him?
Yes.
That is him.
Wow, the person that the Chairman's been looking for is Jung Woo?
How could that be?
Whatever... I'm just relieved that we found him.
Let's hurry and report this to the Chairman.
- No. - Why?
You keep your mouth shut.
Don't say anything to anybody about this until I say so.
Hello?
Where are you?
Who is your father?
The father that you're seeking revenge on, who is that?
I have no idea what you're talking about.
How long were you going to keep it a secret?
You think I don't know that the Chairman is your father?!
I went to the nursing home and verified it for myself.
You're the grandson of the woman who died in that nursing home, isn't that right?
Why can't you answer me?
Get up, you bastard!
You bastard. What did you drag me into?
You think I've lived like I did, doing all that shit work, living like a dog,
to end up helping you with your revenge?!
I joined with you to get ahead.
Get this through your head, I have no desire to help with your idiotic scheme.
What's the difference?
What do you think my revenge is?
To destroy myself? Never!
I want to get ahead, the same as you.
You and I have the same goal. The success you want, I will make it happen for you.
Trust me!
If you tell the Chairman about this now, everything is over!
- Hyung, please... - Damn!
Do you think you can win against the Chairman?
Don't you know just how scary he is?
I can do it. No, I must do it!
So, please trust me. I'll never let you be hurt by this.
Damn!
You two listen to me carefully.
Especially you, Sun Young.
Don't ever mention Jung Woo's father again. Keep your mouth shut and...
forget what you know already.
Why do we have to?
Just do what I tell you to do.
It's to help Jung Woo, understand?
What are we going to tell the Chairman?
I'll take care of that so don't worry.
I made sure they won't say anything.
Thank you.
What do we do next?
Once we take over Joong Moon Casino, the Chairman said he'd put me in charge.
He's going to have you run Joong Moon Casino?
It's just a manipulative ploy to use me further.
Ultimately, it'll end up in Tae Hyuk's hands.
What will you do?
First, I'll do my best to acquire Joong Moon Casino.
To do that, I will need your help.
With what?
We have to buy up the stocks in Joong Moon Casino,
and among the major holders, there's gangster named Na Bong Chul.
I heard of that name when I was in prison.
From what I hear he's a vicious creature.
Getting the others to give up their stocks won't be a problem,
but that one won't be so easy.
How's it going with buying the shares from the holders?
What's happening with that gangster fellow?
I haven't been able to convince him yet.
Don't let this drag out. Resolve it quickly.
Yes, sir.
Chairman, I have something I need to say to you.
What?
The money you're spending to purchase Joong Moon Casino stocks
may create problems with the construction of the golf course and Baek Sung Ri resort.
If we continue like this, it could cripple the entire Dae Jeong Group.
In my opinion, I think we're rushing the takeover of Jung Moon Casino.
If you hesitate after starting something, you're asking for a bigger problem.
I'll continue on as I've been, you just concentrate on securing the financing.
Yes, sir.
- You may go in. - Yes.
When will you take care of Kim Jung Woo?
He took the bait but hasn't done anything with it.
- Do you think he sniffed us out? - I'm not sure.
It couldn't have been possible for him to find out.
You have no idea how calculating and scary that guy is.
You just watch, even in this matter of getting Joong Moon Casino for father
he will stop at nothing.
If we are sloppy in our attempts, we won't succeed in getting rid of him.
I understand. Let's give it some more thought.
How is it going with the takeover of Joong Moon Casino?
He's spending a lot of money buying up the stocks.
I'm afraid we will run out of our operating funds.
I knew something like that would happen.
If we encounter a problem, please help us out.
I've already invested way too much money into Jang Min Ho.
I may need to have some of it back, so tell him to be prepared.
Why don't you sit down?
I've been thinking...
of passing everything on to Jung Hae now.
Wait here.
Chairman.
Oh, welcome.
It's been a long time.
I'm sorry, I couldn't make it to visit you even once.
I wasn't in there very long anyway.
I know you had something to do with my early release. Thank you.
Here, let's sit.
Wow, how nice is this!
You've been through a rough spell. Why don't you stay and rest up?
- Isn't the view nice? - Oh, yes.
Sorry we're late.
Come, come.
Let me make the introductions.
You know Mi Ran already. And in charge of the casino is Jackson Lee.
Here is one of our major shareholder in the casino, President Na.
I've heard a lot about you.
That you've spent some time in Las Vegas.
Jackson is a specialist when it comes to casinos.
So you have a specialist in the position of Manager,
and yet you have the problems you do in your casino?
What do you mean?
You do know about Chairman Jang Min Ho,
of Dae Jeong Group and his efforts to take over your casino?
Tha... That is...
He sent someone to me, saying he wants to buy my shares.
Be on your guard. You might just lose your casino in the blink of an eye.
How can a thug like that be a major shareholder?
It's a long story but when I first started this business,
I couldn't have made it without his help.
That ended up to be a nose ring with him in control of me.
You must cut him out.
I tried a few times but it's not an easy thing to do.
Las Vegas became what it is today
by driving out the mafia's influence.
It's now a place the entire family can go for leisure
and for various industries to hold their conventions.
I will cut him out.
Don't put yourself at risk.
He is very dirty.
That is their weapon of choice.
If you're afraid of that, you'll get nothing done.
He's a thug, but he is a VIP guest who owns stock in our casino.
Se Dol, Kang Rae, you'll be on detail for him.
He's simple minded and boorish so he may give you a few headaches.
Don't worry.
Jimmy...
I have some work for you to do.
Work?
What is it? Huh?
Yes, it's me.
Yes.
There might be an easy solution to getting that thug's shares.
Yes, I'll be ready.
Yes.
What is the maximum bet for Baccarat in the VIP room?
800 million won.
But if there are other players, the total amount can be much more than that.
I don't really know anything about Baccarat, so I don't...
If a player bets 800 million won,
another player can bet on player/banker and thereby making it a 1600 million won bet.
One player's bet of 800 million won can grow to a value far greater.
I see.
Okay, okay. I got it.
I'll get it ready right away.
- Su Chul. - Yes, hyung-nim.
We need to ready for a guest. A VIP guest is on his way.
Okay, hyung-nim.
Isn't it nice here in Jeju?
He must be the stoic type.
Please come this way.
- This is our Very Important Guest. - It's an honor to be of service to you.
You! Aren't you Bong Chul?
Wh.. what are you doing?
Se Dol, your VIP guest is this...?
Huh?
...is Bong Chul?
I know him well.
Na Bong Chul, you know me, doncha?
Remember in Geum Chun, you know... "Hari Mau".
It's been a long time.
Wow, you must have gotten very successful.
It seems only yesterday when you were peeing and pooping in your pants.
Look at you now, a VIP guest. Who would have ever thought?
Wow. Here, here, here. Let's board first.
It's been a long time so let's catch up.
That's alright.
Let's go.
What are you doing to our VIP guest?
VIP...? That nose of a dog is your VIP?
Why he's not a gangster, he's nothing more than a hoodlum.
I wonder how he became so successful?
Damn!
President, we apologize.
We'll have another one readied right away.
Don't waste your time.
Oh, man, I can't believe...!
Excuse me.
Aigoo. What brings you here?
Detective Son asked me to meet him here.
He didn't say anything to me about it.
Anyway, have a seat.
Oh, goodness, I don't have much to offer you.
Would you like a cold soda?
- No, thank you. I'm fine. - Please sit...
- I'm sorry for being late. - What's this about, Detective Son?
I've been demoted.
What? Why?
Chairman Jang is far more powerful than I gave him credit for.
You mean that Chairman guy had you demoted?
I'd been investigating Detective Hyun's accident.
To block it, he used his influence to have me removed from my position.
I wanted to find out the truth about Detective Hyun's accident.
I'm so sorry.
Yes.
Yes. I'll be right there.
Yes.
I have to go now.
Hyung Soo-nim, I'm really sorry.
I'm very sorry.
What are you sorry about?
I made a very difficult request of Detective Hyun.
I feel all this is because of that.
I don't know what to say to you.
He died because it was his time to go.
Don't blame yourself.
[Su Hyun]
It's me.
Can I see you?
I'm here at the place where you came to get me before.
I told you not to come even if I called you.
Yet you still come every time.
Have a drink.
You once said to me...
the more you learn of Chairman Jang Min Ho, the scarier you find him to be.
I know what you meant. I can feel it throughout my entire body.
You're right, the more you find out, the scarier he is.
My parents' death, Detective Hyun's death,
any attempt to get to the truth about them just becomes as nothing.
Even the law has no power over him.
I thought hard about what I can do to relieve this frustration I feel
and how I can pay him back.
How do you think he'll feel...
when he finds out you're his son?
How do you think he'll feel when he hears his son is plotting revenge on him?
Aren't you curious?
Su.. Su Hyun.
Why does it alarm you so?
Did you stop when I asked?
Did you stop when I asked you not to pursue something that will end up destroying you?
Why does what I'm saying surprise you?
Don't worry. I know this isn't the right time.
Once you've exacted your revenge, and when he's crumbled as much as possible,
it will have greater impact then.
I want it to hurry up and see that happen. What do I need to do?
Isn't there anything I can do to help?
Just tell me, I'll do anything.
Su Hyun...
That person to whom giving the entire world is not enough.
That person that is the reason I live today.
That person who gave me reason to smile,
I miss that person.
That person I draw with my hot tears.
That person I cannot erase in my heart.
No matter how much I wish, no matter how much I hope,
I can't help but to keep longing.
I will throw it all away, throw all away.
Even my heart that remembers you.
I will forget it all, forget all.
That person that is painful to love.
So what I mean is, we're not going to gamble for real, but just practice.
We're not here to playact so what do you mean practice?
You think we have nothing better to do but to waste our time like this?
He's a stockholder of our casino. He's a major VIP.
He said he wants to practice because he's bored. So everybody get ready.
This is the Manager's instructions so hurry up and get it ready, alright?
Player, natural 9.
Banker, Baccarat. Player win.
A tip for you.
It's just a practice game. This isn't a real chip.
Oh, right.
- You. - Yes.
Buy something delicious with that.
Thank you.
Let's go again.
I'll be going to Macau soon and I plan on gambling there.
I wanted to practice up a bit before I go.
Even if you bet only 10 cents, it should be a real game for there to be any thrill.
How can practice games be any fun?
This is just like my home to me.
I can't gamble in my own home.
There are seven other casinos on Jeju Island.
Do you think I'm stupid?
I'm not a foreigner so how will I be able to get in?
If you really wanted, these guys here can let you know how.
Wait just a moment... a moment.
Is this Sang Dol?
It's me.
We still have those passports, right?
Right.
Remember those Filipino passports we had made just in case? Right.
Bring those and hurry down here.
Bring some cash too.
About 10 big ones.
It's me.
It worked out as planned.
He had some fake Filipino passports that he had ready.
There'll be no repercussions for letting him in.
Yes.
I understand.
There is a high roller on his way here. Please escort him to the VIP table.
There's someone there already.
See if you can get him to allow another guest.
Alright.
Wow! Win-win.
Would it be alright if he joins you?
Huh? Of course.
Hi. I'm Jimmy.
I beg your indulgence.
Anytime.
Wow! Great!
Oh, I'm... I pass.
What are you doing?
Deal.
Couple, player. Couple, banker.
Player, natural 8.
Oh my god! Natural 8.
Bad luck.
~ Swallow the Sun ~
Arrange for me to play some games on credit.
I'm sorry but I don't think that will be possible.
M... my Jung Moon Casino stocks... you said you were interested in them, right?
Will that do as collateral?
What are you up to?
I'm in the middle of a strategy to get his Joong Moon Casino stocks.
Who the hell are you to accept a guest who's not permitted to enter?
You let me in here knowing it was illegal for domestic guests.
Don't you know you'll have to close your establishment, if this becomes known?
I've been transferred to the Jeju District Office just a short time ago.
If I asked you to help me with something, would you help?
