Kang In-kyung?
How did you get here Kang In-kyung?
(Lavo Hotel)
Please help him.
If you save Min-woo...
I'll do anything do pay back the grace you bestowed on him.
Why are you doing this and how did you get here?
I'm begging you. Please save him.
If he gets dragged into the army tomorrow...
I won't know when or how he died.
Save him... Please?
Kang In-kyung!
I don't know what you heard or why you're here. But you're wrong.
-Cha Min-woo is... -I heard from the police.
You...
dragged him to jail because you wanted Min-woo's play.
The police?
Let's meet at a hotel in the city and I'll tell you how to save Cha Min-woo.
Is the person who told you that the police who tried arresting you last time?
Was it him?
Yes.
You've been lied to.
I'm here to try to save Cha Min-woo as well...
Wait a second.
-Did anyone follow you? -Excuse me?
Let me find out a little more information and call you again.
Get yourself home first.
You can't go out.
What are you doing?
No, you can't.
You can't go out right now.
What was the room number?
VIP Room number 316.
314...
315...
It's over there.
Stay put for a second.
I'll go home now.
Please let go of me!
Just a minute please!
You can't right now.
Listen to me.
Let go of me!
In-kyung, please listen to me. It'll be just a second.
I'm sorry.
Why are you doing this to me?
Outside...
reporters are outside.
Reporters?
CEO Nam of Baekdu Movie Productions!
We here because we know you're in there.
We also know there's a lady in there with you.
CEO Nam!
One of you guys need to go to the front and ask for the master key.
Yep. Let's open this door.
Here you go.
Don't worry.
-Hello? -Are you okay Mr. Nam?
-Reporters are going... -I know already.
Mr. Kim...
you're going to have to help me.
What's going on?
Maybe it's not this room.
This is your room Mr. Nam Jung-ho.
This way sir.
-He's over there! -Mr. Nam!
-Mr. Nam! -Mr. Nam!
Mr. Nam!
We just saw you walking in!
Mr. Nam!
You saw right?
They went in together.
Mr. Nam!
We saw you go in! Come out this instant!
Reporter Kim! Hurry this way!
Okay.
Mr. Kim said he was going to bring Jung-ho, what's taking him so long?
Should I just go up?
Jung-ho!
Kang In-kyung?
I think...
we finally lost them.
I think so.
I'll give you a ride home.
Let's go to my car.
Excuse me...
Is there a way...
to save Min-woo somehow?
Mr. Nam, you know...
a lot of people...
and you're a smart man.
Is there...
a way to help him?
For a person like me...
it's really hard to understand.
-Excuse me? -Oh no. It's nothing.
How great is your love for one another...
it can make one person so desperate...
like you are right now.
I know...
when I do such things...
I look pathetic...
and ridiculous in your eyes.
But...
it's because I received so much from him.
He's the only person who has ever treated me like I'm worth something.
To hear someone like Min-woo will be dragged to his death...
I wouldn't be able to live.
Cha Min-woo is probably really happy...
since he has such a dependable girlfriend.
I'm not trying to tease you.
I'm being sincere.
Mr. Nam...
Cha Min-woo is like a business partner to me.
I can't promise anything...
but I'll try my best...
and help him out.
What?
He escaped?
Why that little rat!
What about the picture? How did it come out?
It's right here.
We got a picture of them, but...
What the hell is this?
Who's going to believe this is Nam Jung-ho?
We're the only ones who know this is him!
Byun Geun-tae!
Is this the way you're going to carry out orders?
I thought this time...
we had them for sure.
Why you!
Chief Lim!
Send Cha Min-woo away right now.
-Excuse me? -Put Cha Min-woo in the army right this instant!
Confession or no confession!
Before Nam Jung-ho finds a way to release him...
hurry up and get rid of him!
Do you understand what I'm saying?
Yes, sir. I will.
It was definitely Jung-ho and In-kyung.
But why would the two of them come out of the hotel together?
Min-woo's life could be at stake, but what are the two of them doing together?
And why isn't Jung-ho home yet?
I know I'm asking for a difficult favor,
but it's a very urgent matter where each hour counts.
I looked over it many times, but I don't understand what is so impure.
Hello Councilman Oh!
Hello!
I think the council has already been bribed.
In all honesty, I don't think we'll be able to save Cha Min-woo.
Go ahead and go home first.
In-kyung...
what happened to you?
Keum-soon...
Where did you get these clothes?
Where have you been all night long?
Keum-soon.
How come I don't have any strength to help?
In-kyung...
Min-woo is...
going to get dragged to the army.
If he goes to the army...
he might die there.
-What? -But...
instead of helping Min-woo...
Why does everything end up like this?
I'm so sad.
I'm...
such a fool.
Oh my goodness. What are we going to do?
In-kyung...
Min-woo...
you're alright aren't you?
Aren't you?
Please...
withstand it all.
Please...
stay alive.
Hey Cha Min-woo! Come to your senses!
How will you go into the army like this?
Of course he can't.
What do you want?
It seems you forgot your appointment with me.
Since I was so tired, I asked the reporter you sent...
to leave me and go their way.
Move out of the way!
Don't you see I'm transferring a criminal?
Who is the criminal here?
Cha Min-woo...
is innocent!
(Approval of Play Scenario and Script)
How did you get this?
I used the same tactics you used.
I had a hard time looking for all the council members you bribed.
Mr. Kim.
If you don't want to go to jail for bribery, you'd better move out of the way.
You'd better thank Cha Min-woo.
Getting him medical attention is more important...
than pressing charges against you right now.
How is he?
Oh yes...
He has a lot of bruises...
but fortunately there is no internal damage or broken bones.
He'll be better after he finishes treatment.
But I am a little worried...
-About what? -He received a lot of psychological shock.
-Shock? -Yes.
His caretaker will have to pay close attention to him while get finds stability.
If you'll excuse me.
Yes, thank you.
Did you say Cha Min-woo was a foster child?
Yes.
He lives with a close friend from school.
Kang In-kyung...
can you look for her contact information?
Yes.
If I'm going to look like the guys at the front of the movies...
I'll need to keep working out.
Geez, what are you doing this early in the morning...
with such flimsy clothes on?
Can't you see?
I'm trying to make my muscles grow.
I would understand if it was your bank account...
but why would you want to make a useless thing like that to grow?
Oh this is it. It's time.
But you know...
I didn't see In-kyung's shoes. Did she go to work already?
Why are you asking me where your sister's whereabouts are?
I guess she went to work already.
Oh boy! I need to hurry.
Who is it?
Is someone in there?
It's me. Wait just a second.
Mrs. Kang... please hurry up and come out!
I could go crazy within the second you're telling me to wait.
Choon-ja... I'm so sorry.
Mrs. Kang!
Oh my gosh! I'm going to go crazy!
Mrs. Kang, I'm serious. I'm really in a hurry.
My goodness, I'm might die of stomach pain in front of the outhouse!
Mrs. Kang!
Can you be quiet?
Hello?
-Who are you looking for? -I'm looking for Kang In-kyung.
-Does Kang In-kyung live there? -My sister?
My sister already left for work.
May I ask who's calling?
Oh is that so?
Alright.
Why did he hang up after saying what he wants to say?
But how come I feel like I've heard this voice before.
What's going on? Who said you could touch my phone without my permission?
Pay up before you touch my phone. Pay first!
Excuse me?
No matter how I think about it.
I don't think I can just let him go like this.
Please let me meet him.
Let me meet Min-woo please.
I'm begging you please.
What the hell is this?
I'm already pissed as it is!
I just need a minute. I just want to see his face.
Cha Min-woo isn't here!
I already told you.
He's going to be transferred to the army today.
I already sent him.
So go back already! Got it?
This can't be.
Min-woo...
has already been sent to the army?
Cha Min-woo is like a business partner to me.
I can't promise anything...
but I'll try my best...
and get him out.
I'm home.
You're coming in now?
Yes, I'll need to change my clothes...
and go right back out.
Before you do that, I need to talk to you first.
Jung-ho actually spent the night somewhere else?
I wonder what's going on.
This is called working overtime and not spending the night somewhere else.
If you have to talk, choose your words carefully.
Geez, aren't we feisty today.
Of course!
You should be annoyed and upset.
I understand.
I was trying to hint at your ignorance...
but I guess you didn't understand that either.
Ignorance?
Hey Lee Suh-yeon!
That's right. I am Lee Suh-yeon.
Lee Suh-yeon, on a different class than you Yoon Mi-ae!
So don't try to keep putting yourself on the same level.
It's quite offensive.
Lee Suh-yeon! Don't you walk away from me!
Is Jung-ho home?
Is it true you bothered council members all night long because you wanted them...
to approve Cha Min-woo's play script?
Secretary Choi...
is fast at finding information.
Didn't I tell you to take your hands off that?
Lee Hyung-ok is determined to make this plan go to his favor.
So stop involving yourself with Cha Min-woo!
You don't listen to me,
and you ultimately harass all of the council members.
How are you going to survive the movie industry by doing this?
I didn't harass them...
but I set things straight.
Lee Hyung-ok wants to play dirty...
then I'm going to play dirty as well.
What did you just say?
Jung-ho, where is Min-woo?
You know right? Is true, you know!
-Hee-ae! -Where is he?
You?
You know Cha Min-woo?
He hasn't come to work yet?
No.
He worked late last night, so he'll be in late today.
Then what should I do?
Mr. Nam promised me last night...
that he would try to have Min-woo released today.
When I went there this morning, they said he was already transferred to the army.
Are you talking about Cha Min-woo?
I wish you'd stop asking for our CEO for your personal reasons.
I'm sorry, but I'm so surprised and in quite a hurry.
I understand.
I'll come back another time.
Excuse me.
Cha Min-woo is currently...
What?
You don't need to say anything else.
Chief Lim...
this will be the last of you.
From now on...
your bank account will no longer receive funds from me!
That's it. Get out!
President Lee!
Please give me one more change. Just one more.
I handed him on a silver platter for you!
Why would I give you another chance when you
can't even take him from one place to another?
No way! Get out of here!
There's a black list surrounding Cha Min-woo.
-What? -Kim Yoon-suk is Cha Min-woo's colleague and lives with him.
Do you recall he was on the Office of Communism's black list?
So what?
We found a little more about that fellow.
We found out he was interested in directing and had his own work as well.
What is it you want to say to me?
If we strategically use him...
to our advantage then...
we can make Cha Min-woo and Nam Jung-ho...
disappear for good together.
In-kyung...
Min-woo! Can you see me? Do you recognize me?
Yeah...
Hee-ae.
Are you okay?
I can't believe this happened to you.
Do you know how worried I was?
Where is...
If it wasn't for my brother, you'd be in a lot of trouble.
My brother barely got you out...
and brought you to this hospital.
Your brother?
I'm really glad to meet you again Cha Min-woo.
Mr. Nam what are you...
He's my brother.
Sorry.
I wasn't trying to hide it,
it just turned out like that.
Oh I see.
I heard...
you went though a lot to rescue me. Thank you.
No, I'm the one who should be thankful.
For enduring through it like this.
I think I can live now.
Are you okay?
Jung-ho.
Thank you so much!
Don't worry about Min-woo anymore. I'll take care of him.
I'm more worried about you.
Huh?
The man you were bawling your eyes about...
was Cha Min-woo?
-Yeah. -And the other woman Cha Min-woo is in love with is...
Kang In-kyung?
You know who Kang In-kyung is also?
How?
Well, that's...
I got to know her by coincidence.
The you were with Kang In-kyung last night at...
What?
Oh never mind.
I thought you needed to get back to the office. Go ahead.
Alright.
Let's talk about it at home.
Okay. See you later.
Min-woo, what are you doing?
In-kyung...
is probably really worried about me.
-I have to go. -How can you think about going anywhere in your condition?
If you show up like that she'll be even more upset and you'll make her cry!
It's fine you want to go, but get healthy first.
I'm sorry, but do you know where this hospital is?
Oh this hospital.
Go straight and then to your right.
Thank you.
Hey Kim Yoon-suk!
(Room 101/Cha Min-woo)
Min-woo!
Geez, you really are too stubborn for you own good.
Do you really need to go to the theater like this?
Yoon-suk is probably worried sick about me.
Everybody will be worried. I need to go and tell them I'm alright.
You know all these kids right?
They're all on the black list at the Office of Communism with you.
But do you know how they're doing these days?
Well we won't do...
anything immediately to you.
But you know these kids...
one of them is... missing.
Another one is in a psychiatric hospital.
And another one had an accidental death in the army right?
I think that's right.
I'm getting confused now.
What is it you want to say?
What do you want from me?
Want from you?
My superior will be here later on to tell you what he wants from you.
Before that, I suggest you compose your thoughts.
Oh! And don't be so chummy with Cha Min-woo.
I'm sure you'll see later on...
but you could get it...
even worse than him.
Min-woo!
Yoon-suk!
So...
how are you?
You must have gone through hell.
But...
I'm glad it wasn't any worse.
You did a good job of enduring.
Did I worry you a lot?
I'm...
fine now.
Cha Min-woo was just released awhile ago.
He's probably not stable yet.
I wonder where he went.
But it's true...
Min-woo is finally out of prison.
Oh what a relief!
Are you sure you don't need to go back to the hospital?
You heard the doctor.
I just need to rest.
And also...
Thank you for paying for the hospital bills.
I'll make sure to pay you back.
What are you talking about Min-woo?
I can't even do that for you?
I'm really going to be disappointed in you.
I can't thank you and your brother enough for all that you two did for me.
Don't worry about it.
My brother and I did it because we wanted to do it.
You're going home right?
No.
Should we go to the hospital then?
That might be better.
No.
I have to go see In-kyung.
She's probably really worried about me.
In-kyung?
I wonder...
if she is really worried about you.
What?
Oh nothing.
One way or another, you can't go in that condition.
If you went and accidentally ran into her family, what would they think of you?
You're only going to complicate things for her.
You think?
No, I still think I need to go see her.
Geez, really?
Then... I'll bring In-kyung to your house.
Is that okay then?
You will?
You would do that?
I will.
So get yourself home first.
Well the reason...
I wanted to meet with you Mr. Kim Yoon-suk...
is because I wanted to offer something to you.
-An offer? -Yes.
Recently...
Sechang Group's cultural company is thinking of investing in a theater company.
I need someone to be totally responsible for the theater company.
I'm thinking of asking you to become the head of the theater company.
What do you think?
You want me to be head of the theater company?
-May I ask why? -Because I feel bad...
that a great person like you is being over-shadowed by Cha Min-woo.
But I already belong to a theater company.
Then bring all of your theater friends with you.
Except for Cha Min-woo.
-What? -Cha Min-woo will no longer be able to do any plays from now on.
What are you talking about?
You'll know what I'm talking about in the near future.
My offer...
You should really think about it.
You should also think about what Chief Lim advised as well.
Min-woo.
In-kyung!
Careful. Carefully.
Are you hungry Min-woo?
I'll go make something and be right back.
No don't.
Don't go. I'm not hungry.
Just...
stay next to me.
Goodness.
How could they do this to another human being?
It's just too much.
But everyone else says I scathed by.
When I disappeared that day...
you must've been so worried!
Did you worry a lot?
I worried so much about you.
I didn't know if I'd ever see you again.
I was so scared.
I was scared too.
Really...
it was really scary.
Min-woo...
I'm so sorry, I should've came earlier for you.
You're alright now.
I'll stay right next to you.
Thank you In-kyung.
You're back early In-kyung.
Hee-ae.
Why are you here again?
What do you mean why? Because I'm worried about you.
Is Yoon-suk home?
Oh Yoon-suk...
He called the owner of the house awhile earlier...
he's not coming home tonight.
What?
Then what about you?
What are you going to do by yourself?
I'm fine...
In-kyung is going to be with me.
You'll going to be alone with In-kyung?
Yeah.
Hey, I think it's getting late. Why don't you head home?
Aren't you being too much?
Min-woo! You don't see anyone else but In-kyung?
-Hee-ae. -You think In-kyung is so precious...
but do you know what she was up to while you were getting tortured?
What are you talking about?
Kang In-kyung...
was with a man at a hotel last night. Did you know that?
What?
-Mr. Nam! -Oh In-kyung.
In-kyung?
In-kyung... about last night.
If you can't trust me, then you can leave this play.
-Min-woo betrayed us? -Yes.
Cha Min-woo is going to cast us aside and go make a movie.
So within your situation...
it'll be hard to put on a normal play at this point.
