Min-woo!
(Episode 21)
Min-woo.
In-kyung...
What is exactly...
going on here?
Min-woo is... Min-woo is...
Where is In-kyung when curfew is done?
Why hasn't she contacted anyone yet?
I wonder if something bad has happened.
If her mom finds out, she'll be in so much trouble.
In-kyung! Where have you...
Where is In-kyung?
She went to work.
To work?
Why did she go to work so early in the morning?
She had an early morning route today so she left early in the morning.
Did she purposely leave early in the morning to run away from me?
Watch what happens when you get home.
I'll break your legs to make sure you don't that sort of artsy stuff!
(Police Station)
How did it go?
They say he's not here either.
Now what are we going to do?
Where are we going to find Min-woo?
If it's not the police...
then who?
Do you have any clue as to who would do this?
I'm not too sure.
CEO Nam Jung-ho said there wouldn't be any problems with him.
Who did you just say?
Did you say CEO Nam Jung-ho?
The Office of Communism?
Why would the Office of Communism arrest Cha Min-woo?
I think there was a problem with Cha Min-woo's play rating request.
It didn't get its ratings approved?
That's impossible.
Even so,
why would the department that arrests communists...
arrest Cha Min-woo?
They not only arrest communists, but they also investigate political rebels.
If the Office of Communism affairs took him in for questioning...
Cha Min-woo might be...
Mr. Nam!
You should keep Cha Min-woo far away...
No, you're wrong.
We need to take closer look at this.
Mr. Nam!
What are you doing here?
I just need a minute with him.
I really have to meet Mr. Nam.
Please go back.
Where is Mr. Nam going?
At least tell me where he's going. Please, I'm begging you. Please tell me.
I don't know.
Even if I did know, I wouldn't tell you.
Go back now!
Help me.
Please help me!
What am I going to do?
Min-woo!
Where have they taken you?
Why are you doing this?
Why am I doing this?
You can't just arrest me like this.
At least tell me the reason why I am here?
Look at this bastard with no fear.
Hey Cha Min-woo!
You still don't get a feel for what's going on do you?
Your problem is...
here.
You were arrested because your head is filled with too much dangerous ideas.
Dangerous ideas?
With what evidence?
Evidence?
It's right here. Yep.
When this long night is over...
our youth will burn more brighter than the sun.
What do you mean by long night?
Are you referring to the Revitalizing Reforms constitution?
And the sun is referring to North Korea?
There are so many of these references.
Oh here again.
The dark window. A dark world.
A small light within the darkness.
Those lines are all just lines in a play.
Why would you write the script like this you commie bastard!
The script was denied...
but he moved ahead with the play.
He hasn't even opened his play...
but he's been arrested because his ratings weren't approved yet?
In his script...
there are too many unapproved contents in the script.
We'll have to investigate further, but I know for a fact Cha Min-woo is a communist.
I would like to meet with Cha Min-woo.
Whoa. That's not possible.
Cha Min-woo is being investigated as a major political offender.
It would be in your best interest to not be so closely affiliated with him.
Baekdu Group might be an up and coming company...
but if you get involved in this kind of political affairs...
You'll also be...
in a bit of hot water as well.
No, I'm already in plenty of hot water right now.
So I'll need to really dig around to see why Cha Min-woo is being...
investigated for these crimes.
We found this while we were arresting Cha Min-woo.
Your contract between Baekdu Movie Productions and Cha Min-woo involving...
your play agreement...
and your movie agreement.
If you really want to start digging.
Then we...
need to know who his supporters are...
why anyone would want to make a movie from a play that hasn't been approved.
We'll need to really dig around as well.
Mr. Nam...
I don't think it's going to be that easy this time.
Nam Jung-ho actually went all the way down to the
Office of Communism looking for Cha Min-woo?
Why doesn't Jung-ho realize when to call it quits and keep running around like this?
While we're at it...
I wonder if there's a way to affiliate him with political crimes.
Mr. Lee!
I just thought of a wonderfully fantastic plan!
We can get Nam Jung-ho...
from political crimes to...
extra-marital affairs...
and combine the two as a set.
Extra-marital affairs?
Daehan Newspaper’s chief editor won't stop until he sees Nam Jung-ho fall.
He knows
Nam Jung-ho paid off a lady's debt awhile back...
and he's constantly asking me who it was.
Oh is that so?
This is the right time...
to involve Kang In-kyung...
and send them both to jail at the same time.
You want to make a passionate extra-marital crime.
-Is that right? -Yes.
I'm talking about marring Nam Jung-ho's morality.
Total destruction so he can't revive from this.
And added as a bonus...
Kang In-kyung will be destroyed as well!
Oh yes, I like it.
Alright. Start planning out the scenario.
Make it a fail-proof plan.
Yes.
A plan that you'll be fully satisfied with sir.
A total fail-proof plan.
Alright.
You still don't know where Cha Min-woo is?
You look like you're worried sick In-kyung.
I'm fine.
It's Min-woo I'm worried about.
I wonder where he was hauled off to...
and how hard it must be on him.
I should've just stayed next to him.
Then none of this might have happened.
What's going on?
It seems...
something is going on with your boyfriend.
Do you want me to find out for you?
You Mr. Byun?
If you know the right people...
finding someone is just a matter of time.
Never mind then.
Can you really?
Can you really find him?
You're really going to help me Mr. Byun?
Of course!
Why would I joke around with things like that?
What's your boyfriend's name?
No... let's go inside and talk.
In order for me to find him, I'll need specific information.
Come in.
Do you think it'll be okay?
How can you trust Mr. Byun?
Keum-soon...
I'm in no situation to think about anything else.
If they can find Min-woo...
I'm willing to get on my knees and beg.
Oh no!
You can trust the devil, but you should never trust Mr. Byun.
So this early morning...
he disappeared without any clue?
He's not at the local police station.
I don't...
think this is a simple kidnapping.
Kidnapping?
Who? Who would take a perfectly normal person?
Oh please calm down and let's wait awhile.
And just in case...
I'll tell Ma Chul-hee...
to thoroughly search loan sharks and back alleys.
One way or another...
can you go out on your route in this condition?
Go ahead and go home early. Okay?
I'll call you as soon as I find your boyfriend.
Thank you.
But...
You are really going to try to find him aren't you?
If you don't want me to, then never mind.
What? Do you want me to not find him?
Oh no please look for him.
It's because...
I feel bad for what I did to you...
The truth is...
I did some things I shouldn't have to you. Right?
I badgered you when I thought you stole money.
And the Samchung-dong situation last time as well.
I'm human too.
I wasn't comfortable doing the things I did.
I had to do the things I did since we all need to eke out a living.
Here here. Let's stop all this and you go ahead and take off.
You probably want to look for different places as well.
Can I really do that?
Of course! People come first!
Don't they?
Thank you.
Thank you Mr. Byun!
Geez...
what is she so thankful for?
She's making me feel bad.
Yes, I see.
So Cha Min-woo's play...
had its rating approved at first...
but suddenly the decision was overturned right before the end?
Yes, thank you.
-Is it the Ratings Committee? -Yes
I think the Chief of Police used some tactics...
with the Ratings Committee.
Mr. Nam...
This situation with Cha Min-woo must end here.
Cha Min-woo tried directing a play that showed suspicious ideals.
You drew up a contract to invest in that kind of play...
and you're making a movie from the original play.
This was originally planned to get to me, not him.
Cha Min-woo is being unnecessarily persecuted because of me.
How can we just ignore him?
Operator a transfer.
May I get the Chief of Police at the Office of Communism?
Hello chief
Excuse me?
There's a way to save Cha Min-woo?
I'm sorry I was so harsh this morning.
Of course.
The truth is...
The detective standing behind me this morning...
actually works for president Lee Hyung-ok.
Yes, that's it.
Let me get rid of him first...
then I'll meet you somewhere in the city.
Then I'll tell you how to save Cha Min-woo.
Yes.
Yes then.
One-by-one they're slowly but surely coming together.
How is Cha Min-woo?
Did he finally confess to...
saying Nam Jung-ho is his supporter for the communist party?
The thing is...
he's young, but he's so stubborn.
If he doesn't listen...
then we need to use a different strategy.
You know...
your specialty Chief Lim.
Did you hear anything about Min-woo?
Oh Hee-ae...
Nothing yet.
Nothing at all.
Last night...
were you with Min-woo?
Excuse me?
Yes.
But why...
But why is he the only one missing...
and you're still...
What were you doing when Min-woo disappeared?
Just what were you doing Kang In-kyung!
I was...
If something happens to Min-woo...
I don't think I can forgive you.
I don't think...
I can forgive myself either.
What did you just say?
I said if something happens to Min-woo...
I don't think I can forgive myself either.
I'm sorry.
Hey you little wench!
You!
Are you out of your mind?
What is this about a play?
I already told you! You won't be able to do that artsy stuff until the day I die!
Mom...
let's talk later.
Later?
When is later?
Promise me!
Tell me you'll never do that play!
Promise me right now!
Mom...
Not today please...
Please stop for today!
Why you...
Are you crazy?
Oh I see...
so you want to go at it with me. Do you?
Wh... What's going on?
Mom? Why are you bothering In-kyung again?
Han-soo...
You really are scary aren't you?
You want to sass against me with your eyes glaring...
but in front of Han-soo you put on your world's most innocent act.
Do it again!
Try to sass against me like you just did!
Mrs. Kang why are you doing this? Please stop it!
That's right. In-kyung is probably not herself right now.
Please stop bother In-kyung Mrs. Kang!
Why would her own mom go after her like this?
What did you say?
Don't you feel a little bad for In-kyung?
Why are you so cruel to her everyday?
I'm cruel to her?
Who? Who do you think frustrates me like this?
That wench is doing exactly what I told her not to do!
She's acting in a play or something or other!
What if she is?
Why would you get so mad about that?
Well...
That...
The thing is...
Never mind!
Why is mom really like that?
She's acting in a play?
I guess you can't hide from your genes.
No, she can't.
Even if I'm in my grave...
I won't allow it. Ever.
Still no news about him?
Keum-soon...
what am I going to do?
I think I'm going to die.
I think this is all because of me.
There's absolutely nothing I can do.
It's tormenting me.
Why would this be your fault?
I don't know who it is...
but the people who took an innocent person is at fault.
The police don't know where he is.
We can't get in contact with him the whole day.
He didn't get hauled off to some weird place did he?
The world is such a weird place these days.
When people disappear these days, they can come back as corpses.
Choon-ja!
Oh no!
I just put my foot in my mouth again.
Don't worry too much In-kyung.
I'm sure nothing bad happened to Mr. Cha.
I'm sure he'll return tomorrow like nothing happened before.
Wake up you commie bastard!
Hey! Commie!
Who is your supporter?
Who is the guy that invested in your play?
No, it's not true.
I'm not a...
communist!
Cha Min-woo!
Hey!
You!
Who is supporting your cause?
Huh?
Is Nam Jung-ho your supporter?
I don't...
have anything like that.
You don't?
Hey!
Do you think anyone will notice if a chump
like you disappears? Huh?
He's not confessing and being stubborn?
Chief Lim!
Were you going soft on him?
No way Mr. Lee. You know how I can get.
He held out all night long with his teeth clenched.
He is not an easy one.
We can't keep holding him like this.
If something were to go wrong while in custody...
things could get out of hand.
What should we do?
Wait a second here. This little fool.
He didn't serve on the army because he is an orphan.
Send him to the army.
Yes.
I will sir.
Mr. Byun...
have you heard anything yet?
Did you find Min-woo?
Geez, I think this is going to get confusing.
We have a big problem.
Your boyfriend...
was dragged into the Office of Communism.
Office of Communism?
I thought your boyfriend made plays.
They say he has communist ideologies.
They say it won't be easy for him to get free.
They say... he'll be lucky if he come out it alive.
You requested visitation with Cha Min-woo?
I'm sorry...
but he doesn't have any visitation rights.
Why?
I was told he was definitely here.
Why can't I meet him?
Because he's being sent to the army tomorrow.
The army?
Did you meet him?
How is Min-woo?
Is he okay?
What are they talking about?
He's being enlisted in the army tomorrow.
-And that's why I can't meet him. -What?
Why are they sending him to the army all-of-the-sudden?
But...
do you think it's better off he goes to the army than being held prisoner in there?
In-kyung...
if he goes to the army right now...
Yes...
it might be better for him.
You think so too?
The army will be better than this right?
Then it's better than nothing.
Right?
There's a lot of people standing watch for Mr. Lee so...
I'll just meet you there.
Oh and also... Please make sure you come alone.
I will.
Where is it?
(Lavo Hotel)
Yep.
I'll get the car ready.
No...
he says for me to come alone.
Take a seat.
Take your hands off the Cha Min-woo case.
Father!
Your father-in-law started something pretty big this time.
That fellow...
is going to be force drafted into the army.
What do you mean drafted into the army?
That doesn't make any sense.
Lee Hyung-ok made this happen and you're falling right into his trap.
Forget about Cha Min-woo.
Stay quiet and don't start something that'll light a fire under Baekdu Group.
Do you understand me?
Hee-ae!
Hi Yoon-suk.
-About Min-woo... -Did you find him?
Where is he? Is he okay?
What are we going to do?
He's going to the army?
Yes.
At least he'll be free of that prison soon.
Even though I didn't get to visit him.
If he goes to the army, I can visit him there.
I'll be able to see him if I wait.
Thank you for checking around for him Mr. Byun.
But...
don't you know what it means if your boyfriend gets hauled off to the army?
-Excuse me? -How can you be so naive about the world?
If your boyfriend gets dragged into the army...
you won't be able to see your him
and he might come back as a corpse.
You won't even know when or how he died.
What?
What are you talking about?
If the Office of Communism can't get the job done...
they just draft them into the army.
That way they can quietly get rid of the person without being questioned.
You really didn't know that?
What did you say?
I didn't know.
What am I supposed to do?
-Don't we have to stop them from sending him? -Oh geez!
Nam Jung-ho is more spiteful than I thought.
He's really taking this to the very end.
What does that mean?
Oh no.
I don't know if I should say such things...
It was Nam Jung-ho who planned all this.
Your boyfriend wrote a play right?
Nam Jung-ho didn't want to steal his play and didn't want to pay a red cent.
That's why he put Cha Min-woo in there.
That can't be. That's impossible.
I don't think CEO Nam is that kind of person.
Well anyways...
If you want to save Cha Min-woo now...
you're going to have to beg Nam Jung-ho.
As of now, the only person who can save Cha Min-woo is Nam Jung-ho.
Oh I forgot!
He's not going to be at the movie production office.
Excuse me?
There's some sort of party at the hotel.
I heard he's going there.
Geez, you're running out of time though.
He's only stopping by for a second and then catching a flight to Hong Kong.
Well... If you leave right now you might be able to meet him.
What's the hotel name? Please tell me the name.
Telling you the hotel name isn't a big deal.
But if you go there looking like that...
you won't even get a glimpse of him before they kick you out.
What do you mean?
If you show up at a place like that dressed in those country rags...
they won't even let you through the door.
You won't even be able to step foot in the hotel.
I'll go even if I get kicked out.
I have to meet Mr. Nam one way or another.
Whoa whoa! You're so hot-tempered.
You can't just go into those place because you throw yourself in there.
It's a luxurious hotel where they make sure to keep out people who don't belong there.
Wait a second.
There should be some left over audition clothes our girls left here.
Just wait here a second.
I don't think I can wait. I'll just be on my...
Here it is! Here!
Here it is. There!
Well... it's...
a dress one of our actresses wore.
There's nothing else suitable except this.
What are you going to do?
You'll need this...
to get into the party.
Help him daddy!
How can I get him out when he was arrested for communist ideologies?
You know you can!
You've helped release people who have done worse.
-If you ask the Blue House... -Watch your mouth!
I can't ask for favor for a guy like that!
Who was exactly arrested?
Is it your boyfriend Hee-ae?
If he broke the law, he must receive his punishment.
-I heard he's a communist! -He's not!
Min-woo is not that kind of person.
That kind of judgment will be made by the government.
And you stay away from people like him too!
Daddy!
Jung-ho?
That's right.
Jung-ho would help me.
Jung-ho. Where is Jung-ho?
Well...
It's urgent. I really need to meet him right now.
(Lavo Hotel)
May I ask you a question?
I heard there was a party for movie producers.
-Can you tell me where it is? -It ended an hour ago.
It ended?
Then...did CEO Nam Jung-ho already leave as well?
CEO Nam Jung-ho?
No, he's still here.
Where is he?
Where is he located?
He's in room 316.
Thank you.
Min-woo...
Hold on a little longer.
Kang In-kyung...
the party is now finally starting.
Kang In-kyung?
Why are you here In-kyung?
Mr. Nam...
I don't know your reasoning...
but please reconsider.
Min-woo...
Please save Min-woo. Please I'm begging you.
What are you talking about?
Where is Nam Jung-ho's room?
-Does anyone know his room number? -No.
Where is he?
-Let's try over there. -Where the hell is he?
Everybody is standing by sir.
Good. So they're together right now?
Where are the reporters?
Waiting to scoop in sir.
It's a shame I can't be there to watch all this excitement.
Okay, good job!
Call me when it's done. Alright.
You arrogant bastard!
That's what you get for being a busy body and getting into everyone's business.
I'm so curious what my son-in-law's face...
will look like on tomorrow morning's newspaper.
Hee-ae, please wait here awhile.
I'll find out where Mr. Nam is and take you there.
I'll go with you.
There could be people watching.
Alright.
Please save him.
If you save min-woo...
I'll do anything to pay back the grace you showed.
Why are you doing this and how did you find me here?
I'm begging you! Please save him.
If he gets hauled to the army tomorrow...
I won't know how or when he'll die.
Save him. Please?
Kang In-kyung!
I don't know how you got here or who told you what lie...
but you're wrong!
-Cha Min-woo is... -The police told me.
You're the one...
who asked them to arrest Min-woo because of his play.
Police?
It wouldn't be the same officer who tried arresting you last time.
Was it the same person?
Yes.
You've been scammed In-kyung.
I'm also here to rescue Cha Min-woo...
Wait a second.
Did someone follow you?
-What? -Let me find out a couple of things and contact you again.
But you need to get out of here first.
Mr. Nam! Mr. Nam! Mr. Nam!
Where is Min-woo? Where is he?
-Cha Min-woo will no longer be able to do any plays. -What?
Throw Cha Min-woo in the army right this instant!
Please let me meet Min-woo.
Cha Min-woo is not here!
He's being transported to the army today. I already sent him.
