Hey!
(Episode 23)
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 another man at hotel last night! Did you know that?
What?
Do you want me to tell you again?
Last night, Kang In-kyung was with a...
In-kyung...
is not that kind of person.
I'm not sure why you would say such a thing, but...
I saw them.
I saw them with my own two eyes.
Nam Hee-ae! Stop!
Min-woo!
You're here Hee-ae.
Since In-kyung is here, you should ask her yourself.
What's going on?
It's nothing.
Let's go in.
Is there something wrong?
Hee-ae told you to...
ask me something.
It's nothing important.
She said she stopped by because of the theater.
But she looked like she was really mad at me.
No, don't worry about it.
Did you buy my medicine?
That's right!
They said to use antiseptic often to make sure no scarring happens.
What's wrong?
Does it hurt?
In-kyung...
I'm wondering...
about last night.
Last night?
No, nevermind.
Gently please, it stings.
Okay, I'll be gentle.
I heard Cha Min-woo was released from the hospital.
-Were you with him? -Yeah.
Hee-ae...
Cha Min-woo is already in love with...
Are you talking about Kang In-kyung too?
Why are you like this when you already know?
Yes, I know. I know everything! But!
My heart keeps going to him.
That's why I'm going crazy. What do you want me to do?
-Hee-ae. -You have no rights to tell me what to do.
You know everything, but you and Kang In-kyung...
Don't you feel bad for Suh-yeon?
You should be ashamed!
What in the world...
are you talking about?
Nevermind.
I'm going to change, please leave.
No!
Kang In-kyung...
was with a man at a hotel last night. Did you know that?
No way.
In-kyung...
isn't like that.
Hee-ae was lying to me.
What is going on?
She went to go look for him and she hasn't called home or returned yet.
Choon-ja!
If Mrs. Park finds out In-kyung didn't come home last night, all hell will break loose.
Oh my, you scared me to death.
Why would I scare you?
Where is In-kyung?
She didn't...
come home last night?
-No way! -Oh no!
-Then where did she go? -To work. -To a meet a friend.
-She went to go meet a friend. -She went to work.
What are you two talking about?
That's it!
I think she went to work to meet a friend.
You aren't making any sense.
I thought it was strange I didn't see her at all last night.
She must have gone crazy...
staying out all night long without coming home.
Just wait until you get home!
I'm going to rip out all her hair.
I'm sorry I made you worry Keum-soon.
It's alright. It must have been so hectic for you.
But it's such a relief to know Mr. Cha is fine.
I'm glad your Min-woo is doing well again...
but what are you going to do about your hair now?
Your mom was giving us hell for you not coming home last night.
Who is this?
Mr. Byun...
the employee, who doesn't come to work and leaves without notice...
Kang In-kyung is here.
I see that.
You come to work when you want to like it's a hobby.
To what do we owe the pleasure of your grace today?
Mr. Byun...
may I have a word with you?
Mr. Byun...
why did you lie to me?
Lie to you?
When did I lie to you?
You said Mr. Nam is the one who put Min-woo in prison.
You told me to beg him for Min-woo's release and sent me to the hotel.
I did?
Why are you attacking an innocent person?
When did I ever say that to you?
What did you say?
Why are you doing this? You're the one who...
Hey! Kang In-kyung!
Did something happen to you this morning? What's all this gibberish about?
Who care if your boyfriend is in jail or not.
Why would I get myself involved in such matters?
Mr. Byun...
did you do that on purpose?
Are you still asleep?
-Get a hold of yourself! -Why did you do it?
Why would you do that to me?
Kim Yoon-suk!
Why are you doing this?
I thought you might have forgotten Mr. Lee's proposal to you.
Didn't I say I needed a little more time...
How come you don't understand when you're so young?
Bring everybody in your theater company except for Cha Min-woo!
How can I just make everyone leave with me all-of-the sudden?
What?
You don't have a plan?
Well if we put you in jail...
I'm sure a plan will come to mind.
Wait a second.
Cha Min-woo began rehearsing again?
He can't be healthy enough to rehearse.
It's not his body, but his mind we need to worry about.
The Office of Communism...
is a hard place to survive even for highly trained special agents.
When a normal citizen like Cha Min-woo comes back from a place like that...
there are lot so psychological damages.
So based on Cha Min-woo's condition, it would be hard for him to rehearse normally?
Is that what you're saying?
Yes Mr. Nam.
After the Samchung-dong meeting...
all of our movie productions stock holders...
are concentrated on whether Cha Min-woo's play will be successful or not.
Once Cha Min-woo's play fails, they'll remove me from my position...
I'm sure they're looking forward to it.
Yoon-suk...
when you say these lines...
isn't it better to have the gun pointing at your temple?
Last week...
you said the gun will show better if we pointed it at the forehead.
Last...
last week?
Last week...
that was before I got arrested.
Why don't you understand what I'm saying?
Min-woo...
How about you go home first and rest.
Don't touch me!
Yoon-suk!
What's wrong with you Min-woo?
The play...
it needs to go on as planned.
If you can't trust me...
you can leave the play.
Think very carefully.
If you don't...
want to get dragged into the army and...
bid this world farewell without anyone knowing.
-Don't you think Min-woo is a little strange? -That's what I'm saying.
Hey guys...
I don't think this is right.
Cha Min-woo...
doesn't have a clear mind right now.
Alright...
now can you think of a plan?
You still can't think of anything after getting beat up like this?
Then...
let me guide you through the way.
I know a way for you play buddies...
to think Cha Min-woo was the one to betray you guys.
If we have to meet again because of this, you won't be on the concrete floor...
we'll meet each other in our interrogation room.
If we do...
I'll make sure you come up with a plan.
Alright?
How is your movie "Youth" coming along these days?
Now that Cha Min-woo is out, we'll support his play again and...
I'll make sure there are no burdens on our movie.
The play will be a big success.
Min-woo's work has mass appeal and artistic appeal.
We don't know if the play will be successful or not.
How long do we have to wait until we make the movie?
Cha Min-woo and Baekdu have an ill-fated relationship.
Therefore... it's better to end that relationship now.
Daddy!
So what you're saying is...
my movie got delayed...
because of that Cha Min-woo person?
That's so absurd.
What's so great about that play?
Because of that play...
Baekdu Movie Productions has lot a lot of money hasn't it?
You know very well...
that this is not Cha Min-woo's fault.
All this happened because they were trying to get me.
I don't know of anyone who would try to get at you like this Jung-ho...
except for one person.
Should I...
go meet with my father?
Oh no way!
The boys are running a business.
There's no need for you to get involved.
Yes. I understand father.
If the movie fails...
you know I can't protect you from those people...
who were at the Samchung-dong meeting. Don't you?
You'd better tell me the truth.
Where did you sleep last night?
Were you with a man last night?
That night school teacher or whatever he is.
Is that who you were with last night?
To tell you the truth...
Honestly...
Mom!
You know In-kyung would never do anything wrong. She has to have an explanation.
You weren't right? You weren't with that teacher last night, were you?
Even if you did...
tell us what's going on these days.
A phone call came for you a couple of days ago too.
Is there... something going on that you can't tell us?
What is it? I'll take care of everything for you.
Han-soo you stay out if and keep yourself out of trouble.
You'd better tell the truth right now!
Ever since I came to Seoul...
a friend helped me out a lot.
That friend was really sick last night...
I was taking care of the friend...
and I fell asleep.
I'm sorry I didn't call.
A friend?
Oh I see... you have a friend who lives in Seoul now?
Where does this friend live?
Let's go see where your friend lives right now.
In-kyung, were you with the night school teacher last night?
In-kyung was in the dorm last night.
An female assistant we work with lives nearby in a dormitory.
She helped In-kyung out a lot ever since began working with us.
She has no family and was really ill last night.
In-kyung took her to the hospital...
and even went to the pharmacy for her medicine.
Is this the honest truth?
She thanked In-kyung...
during our morning meeting.
-Right? -Huh?
Yes.
I told you mom!
How could you be suspicious of In-kyung?
In-kyung is not the kind of person to lie to us.
You must be so tired from working these couple of days.
Your face is half the size it used to be.
Mr. Nam...
the majority stock holders sent a formal request for information...
on a current update of Cha Min-woo's play by the end of this week.
And the people involved in Cha Min-woo's play seem a bit suspicious these days.
This is another one of Sechang's president, Lee Hyung-ok's
plan to bring you down...
when Cha Min-woo's play doesn't go well.
Mr. Kim...
I think we need to meet Cha Min-woo.
Oh, Mr. Nam!
How...
are you doing?
You're the one who told me...
the reason you have to make the play is because...
of the people in your theater company.
If...
you can't immediately be with your theater company...
I don't know...
what you heard or how you heard.
But the play will go on as originally planned.
It was just a small problem...
so don't pay any attention to it.
-Min-woo betrayed us? -That's right.
Cha Min-woo is leaving us...
and is going to make a movie instead.
There's no way Min-woo wouldn't do that to us.
I can't betray Min-woo.
It's not us that betrayed him.
It's Cha Min-woo who betrayed us first.
That's the agreement.
Do you see his name, Cha Min-woo on there?
It has Baekdu Movie Productions CEO's stamp as well.
You see?
That's why he's trying to purposely ruin our play like that.
He's throwing us aside.
I still can't believe it.
I want to hear...
from Min-woo himself.
In essence, the reason you were tortured...
was because of me.
Cha Min-woo...
you should come to Baekdu Movie Productions.
I'll make sure you're safe with us.
I don't need...
your protection Mr. Nam.
Well if you do change your mind...
please contact me.
I already told you...
I would never do that.
Cha Min-woo...
next time we meet...
let's meet at Baekdu Movie Productions.
You guys still don't believe me after this?
Is he...
really leaving us?
Is it true?
I already told you.
Min-woo already had his sights somewhere else.
So everything is going well with that friend of Cha Min-woo?
Yes.
I only scared him a little,
but he automatically knew who was boss...
and is doing a fine job.
Cha Min-woo is probably going haywire right now.
You know...
it's the knife of the friend you trusted the most...
that goes in the deepest.
That's true.
But the problem is...
Nam Jung-ho.
Why Nam Jung-ho?
I think...
he wants to bring Cha Min-woo into Baekdu Movie Productions while he's at it.
What?
If Nam Jung-ho takes Cha Min-woo in...
what's the use of taking Cha Min-woo's theater company away from him?
What are we going to do about Cha Min-woo?
If you come into our movie company to make the movie first and get recognized...
and the theater company will trust you lead.
You'll be able to make the play...
under much better circumstances.
Yoon-suk...
I'm sorry about yesterday.
-Did you get hurt anywhere? -No.
I'm fine.
I can't...
seem to control my emotions these days.
When we first began making this play...
we were just happy looking at the stage.
How did we...
I'm sorry.
Everybody is going through hard times because of me.
I'm really sorry Yoon-suk.
Min-woo...
I'm sorry.
What are you sorry about?
This is uncomfortable.
At this rate, we'll stay up all night long.
Yoon-suk, you go ahead and sleep comfortably.
I'm going to the theater office to clear my head and read through some scripts.
I'll be back.
Even if you...
die in here like this...
no one will ever notice! Got it?
No!
Min-woo!
Is there something wrong?
Are you ill again?
Oh no, what are we going to do?
You're white as a ghost.
In-kyung...
Do you remember me asking...
what your dream was before.
That's when I told you to dream...
a dream for yourself...
and not for your family.
Yes.
And because of that...
I found out what I truly wanted for myself.
I always had confidence in my decisions.
The dream I chose.
The trust I had in the people I chose...
I never second-guessed myself.
But these days, I'm starting to think a lot.
Am I right?
My persistence...
Was it in vein?
I'm doubting myself.
Min-woo...
is there something wrong...
with the theater company?
In-kyung...
no matter what anyone says...
I hope you will...
always be on my side.
I already promised you.
We'll always be on the same side.
That's right.
But you know.
But...
if I...
change in a different way and make a choice...
you have to believe in me.
I hope you can do that for me.
Min-woo.
Don't you worry!
No matter what the world says about you...
Kang In-kyung will always be on your side.
Min-woo, you've given me so much strength...
I'm also going to be a person who gives you strength.
Thank you In-kyung.
You don't...
have your hair pin on today.
Oh I forgot.
I'll remember to use it tomorrow.
Keum-soon...
have you seen my hair pin?
Why? You can't find it?
No.
I can't find it anywhere.
What am I going to do?
How can I see Min-woo if I forgot that hair pin?
Are you sure it's not at work?
Maybe you put it in your locker while you were changing.
Maybe it's there.
Long time no see Cha Min-woo.
What do you want?
What are you so scared of?
You act like someone is trying to kill you.
Hey hey hey... Don't be like that.
Chief Lim is not the one who dragged you into jail.
I'm the one who ordered him to do it.
What did you say?
Oh no!
Oh no no... Look at all this sweat!
You don't have to be this scared.
Because I'm not going to kill you right now.
Geez, I can't use thing anymore!
Why are you...
doing this to me?
Why am I doing this?
Because you won't listen to what I tell you to do.
If you had sued Nam Jung-ho like I said,
and went our separate ways.
Then we would've never had see each other again.
I also wouldn't have to come to this slum neighborhood to come see you.
Are you here to threaten me?
Look at you.
Cha Min-woo...
this is your last warning.
Whether it's a play or movie, don't affiliate yourself with Nam Jung-ho.
If you affiliate yourself with Nam Jung-ho one more time...
then...
I'll kill you...
with my bare hands.
In-kyung...
you still haven't found your hair pin?
Oh no.
Think really carefully.
You could've dropped it somewhere.
Did I...
accidentally leave it there?
Yes...
It's a small hair pin.
It has white pearls on it.
Oh you found it?
-What? -Since Mr. Nam Jung-ho resided in that room...
I sent it to Baekdu Movie Productions.
To Baekdu...
Movie Productions?
Please listen to me. Just a second!
It was then.
(Sechang Theater Company)
-Where did our new-comer go? -He's...
You took everybody to out of our theater company and brought them...
here to Sechang?
How could you do this to me Yoon-suk!
How could you guys do this to me?
You're the one who betrayed us first.
What?
Did you have a falling out with Baekdu Movie Productions?
What are you talking about?
I never took that offer!
Why don't you stop while you're ahead.
You're making a fool out of yourself...
when you keep making excuses.
Cha Min-woo...
join us at Baekdu Movie Productions.
We'll keep you...
safely protected.
Whether it be a play or movie, don't affiliate yourself with Nam Jung-ho.
If you affiliate yourself with Nam Jung-ho one more time...
then...
I'll kill you with my bare hands.
Sechang made a theater company?
He took away all of Cha Min-woo's theater friends to Sechang?
Damn president Lee.
He doesn't know when to stop does he?
Does Cha Min-woo know?
I think so.
Well...
go ahead and go home.
I'm going to have to meet Cha Min-woo.
Mr. Nam.
Hello In-kyung.
I'm glad I ran into you.
I came to say thank you.
I wanted to thank you for taking care of Min-woo.
I don't know how to repay your graciousness.
That's not...something you need to pay back.
I'm the one who is indebted to Cha Min-woo.
Is that all you're here for?
Is that In-kyung?
You came for this hair pin right?
Oh my hair pin!
Yes.
I called them...
and they said they sent it over to you.
How does...
Mr. Nam have...
that hair pin?
Why are you always like that In-kyung?
Min-woo please.
Damn it!
Do you have some time tomorrow night?
I'm so happy for you! You made a really great decision!
Let's make it a huge welcome party!
To Min-woo!
You need to go with me tonight.
In-kyung! Over here.
That's the girl...
who was in debt and Jung-ho paid it off for her.
Our three fates must be deeply intertwined.
Do you know that young lady Cha Min-woo?
