Episode 13
Stop them!
That's enough!
You know that Japanese saying...
Wait for your opportunity to climb on the roof then remove the ladder?
How does it feel to have climbed on to the roof
and then not have a ladder to climb back down on?
What are you doing?
I'm just demonstrating something I've learnt from you.
You all joined hands without me to try and bring me down.
I wonder why I didn't think of that myself?
All we were doing was uniting our strengths
to be able to stand up to you.
Mi Ran, let's be honest here.
Isn't the largest casino on Jeju island the one you and your father run?
Then shouldn't it be me and the others that join hands to stand up to you?
Don't you all agree?
All the other owners have already agreed.
It is now time for you two to make your decision.
If you join my consortium,
you will benefit greatly in your casino operations.
From what I've discovered, there's been a lot of problems with the casino business.
There's no profit to speak of, much less meeting your payroll.
I will succeed in changing the law to allow our citizens the right to enter the casinos,
which will increase the business greatly.
However!
If you join Yoo Kwang Soo and turn me down,
you will suffer for it.
Are you trying to threaten me?
Yes, I am threatening you.
You made the first move,
and I just made a return move.
Now... make your decision.
Please escort them out.
Yes, sir.
Come this way, please.
Chairman Kim...
Director Lee.
Hyung-nim, in fights...
The ones who are used to winning usually win.
Hyung-nim...
Has there ever been a single time that you have beaten me?
Mi Ran,
if you want to hang on to the casino you have,
don't ever do anything like this again.
It wouldn't be pleasurable for me to hurt you.
Let's go.
Ah...
I heard you are a notable gambler.
It seems I've lost this round.
It wasn't even a challenge.
Thanks to you, you've rekindled the gambling spirit in me
I will begin to prepare a worthwhile re-match.
Alright. I'll look forward to it.
But remember this one thing...
If you lose that match,
your loss will not be insignificant.
I especially enjoy these games that make me put my life on the line.
I think we just disturbed the hornet's nest.
I apologize. I was too careless.
I will definitely make it up to you.
Jung Woo!
Hey, Kim Jung Woo!
What happened to you? Are you the one responsible for this?
Jung Woo, why are you with them?
You should be standing with us.
Did you eat something bad?
Why aren't you saying anything?
Hurry up and say something!
Jang Se Dol, calm down.
Let's hear what he has to say.
Take your hands off of him.
Take them off!
Tell us.
I don't have anything to say to you.
I'm just tired of hanging out with you guys.
Let each of us just go our own way.
Was that really Jung Woo?
Was it?
How can he say those things to us?
He's crazy. He's gone crazy!
No matter how hard I try, I can't believe it.
Kang Rae met him after we were all grown.
But I grew up with him and have known him for 25 years.
This is the first time he's ever betrayed anyone.
I might not know much, but Jung Woo is all about loyalty.
So I can't understand how that same person could do something like this.
I didn't expect that either. I was just as shocked as you.
Let's figure out later why and for now,
just concentrate on putting out the fire that's in front of us.
I underestimated our opponent.
I think we need to find out more about Jang Min Ho
before we go on.
Then does that mean... that they're not in the same group?
The way I see it,
Jung Woo crossed the line that shouldn't have been crossed.
Oh my goodness. What in the world? How could such a thing happen?
Aigoo. Jung Woo isn't someone that could do something like that.
He seemed like a completely different person.
There's definitely something going on with Jung Woo, I'm sure of it.
What could that be?
I don't know.
Ah... maybe he was blinded by sudden ambition.
Or, someone had something on him.
Something on him?
Uh huh.
Something that we don't know about.
Perhaps if we ask Detective Hyun,
this puzzle might be easily solved.
Detective Hyun...
Director Han, have you heard?
Heard what?
That you've been invited to dinner with Chairman Jang.
You know, not just anyone gets an invite with the Chairman.
Only those that succeeded in gaining his absolute trust eat with him.
Congratulations, Director Han.
Why are you making such a big deal over one lousy meal?
Where?
If we're going to create a buzz from the very opening, we need
to draw their attention with some really special marketing.
Look into using a popular Japanese or Chinese model in the printed ads.
Okay.
How about if... like they do in Vegas with Celine Dion,
we invite famous singers for performances?
The current pop singers all do tours of Japan and China, don't they?
Good idea. Look into that.
Yes.
Yes, I understand.
The Chairman has requested you to have dinner at home tonight.
Did something special happen?
I'm not sure.
What are you doing here?
I'm here to see the Chairman.
You're late.
The Chairman will be coming down any minute.
What's with him outside?
Why is Kim Jung Woo...
The Chairman called for him.
Why?
Why don't you ask the Chairman yourself?
The Chairman is coming down.
Let's go.
Shall we start?
Director Han.
Yes, Chairman.
You did well. That was handled very cleanly.
Thank you, Chairman.
Did something happen that I don't know about?
It's nothing for you to be concerned with. Just focus on the opening of the casino.
Yes.
Where is he?
He's outside.
Bring him in.
Yes, sir.
Director Han.
Yes?
Put that man to work with you.
Yes, sir.
You may go.
Yes, sir.
What is the reason you're accepting him, out of the blue like that?
He did something very useful for me.
I'm repaying him for that.
I don't know what that was,
but he probably did it with an ulterior motive.
He swore...
to take revenge on you and on me.
If he really came to me because of revenge,
that should make things more interesting.
I'm curious to find out
what his true intentions are.
I don't know why my father accepted you,
but I won't.
You should know what it means
to not have my approval within the Dae Jeong Group organization.
What I said to you when I first met you in Seoul,
that I will bark when told to bark, crawl when told to crawl...
I can do that if it's for you.
You said it yourself,
that I'll see how vile and despicable you are inside.
Is this about that?
Are you planning your vile and despicable revenge on us now,
right?
No.
All that was in my disillusionment.
I now know that the Chairman nor you are people I can challenge.
What can I do to make you believe me?
Don't you remember what I said?
I wronged you.
And because of that,
I feel indebted to you.
But you yourself, made me feel differently.
I warned you...
don't get involved with Su Hyun in any way.
I can be patient with you on everything else but this.
You knew my feelings for Su Hyun and yet you still did what you did?!
I...
don't have any feelings for Su Hyun.
If I told you she is nothing to me,
would you believe me?
Yes.
This is Lee Su Hyun.
Please speak.
It's me...
Jung Woo.
How could you do that to me?
I heard from Jackson about what happened,
but how could you not have called me, even once?
Sorry.
I heard you got shot.
Are you okay? Are there any after effects?
No.
I have so many things to tell you about.
While I waited for you in Johannesburg for that month,
do you know what was going through my mind?
At first I was worried about you.
Then I blamed you.
And when that passed,
I went back to worry sickeningly over you.
Let's not stand here like this. Let's go somewhere more comfortable.
No.
I'll say what I have to, right here.
Why?
Too many words will only make it sound like I'm making an excuse so,
I'll just get to the point.
Jung Woo.
You don't seem like the same Jung Woo I know.
When we were together in Africa,
the things we said to each other,
forget all of it.
Jung Woo.
Jung Woo, why are you acting like this?
Is it because you feel sorry towards me?
Don't be. I was just throwing a tantrum.
I only worried about you the whole time.
Listen to me.
Think about it.
What you feel towards me is nothing more than pity.
The feeling I had towards you,
is the same.
It was just a childhood infatuation.
Both of us misunderstood our feelings.
Jung Woo.
I came to my senses so,
why don't you also think about this objectively?
I must not have sorted it out yet,
because I still love only you.
Jung Woo.
The tears are from this sad love,
so I wander alone, aimlessly.
I don't know the real reason for you to leave.
Why did you want to leave me?
Only one person. Isn't this too sad?
Don't try so hard to leave me.
What rings in my ears
are only the sounds of your voice.
The words you whispered,
when you called my name.
What rings in my ears
are only the sounds of your voice.
The words you whispered,
when you called my name.
They ring in my ears.
I must not have been ready yet....
Can't you believe in me
to protect you who live in my heart?
I know you can hear me calling out to you
silently, desperately from my heart.
Saying goodbye, isn't that too sad?
Don't try so hard to leave me.
What rings in my ears
are only the sounds of your voice.
The words you whispered
when you called my name.
They ring in my ears.
What are you doing here alone?
I'm just...
Can I sit down?
Yeah.
Did something unpleasant happen?
No.
Sometimes I come here and drink alone.
Would you like to have a drink?
May we have a glass here?
Tae Hyuk... are you upset with me?
Yes.
Well, I still can't help it.
This thing called love...
Can't be gotten
by wishing for it,
nor expecting it.
No matter how hard you try,
my heart can't accept it so what can I do?
Don't wait for my heart any more.
Have you seen Jung Woo?
Yes, of course.
He went through a terrible ordeal.
He got shot and almost died from it.
Even without that happening... he's suffered so much already.
I don't know why bad things keep happening.
Sorry.
I'm making a fool of myself in front of you.
There is nothing I need from you,
the only thing I want is for you to be with me.
Who is it?
Ow... this girl...
Really...
What's happening with you?
Hurry, get in.
Over here.
There's so much more I want to do for you.
Don't apologize, don't be nervous...
on this day that we can be happy.
All the promises we made to each other
are now just sad shadows cast on my heart.
I spend my days crying over you.
How long have you been pushing me away?
How long have you been planning this?
Even if I own the world but if I don't have you
I would trade it all for one day with you.
Stay by my side...
I don't think Jang Min Ho knows of your existence.
He probably never imagined Mi Yeon would have become pregnant by him.
So what are you going to do now?
Are you going to tell the Chairman that you're his son?
No.
Please keep this between us, don't tell anyone else.
By the way, you know Lee Su Hyun, don't you?
Oh!
How do you know Lee Su Hyun?
She came to see me not too long ago.
When she talked about you, I could see how much she cared for you.
Why did Su Hyun come see you?
Her parents' accident ten years ago,
she asked if I could re-investigate the case.
I did take a look at the files and I suspect
that Chairman Jang had something to do with it.
So, that worried me a bit.
If the two of you become involved,
how can this thing...
be between you?
Hey, Lee Su Hyun, wake up!
I've made some hangover soup. Get up.
Do you know the time? How can you still sleep?
Quickly, get up and eat.
Hurry, hurry.
Aigoo, aigoo. Is your stomach okay?
What happened to me yesterday?
You don't remember?
You were completely drunk and Tae Hyuk brought you home.
Tae Hyuk?
Ahh! That man is just too innocent.
If it were me, I would have taken you to a hotel.
Hurry up. Let's eat.
Kang Rae.
It's been a long time.
Jeju must really be a small island.
I heard you were here in Jeju,
but I never imagined that we'd run into each other.
We didn't run into each other,
I waited here for you.
You've been waiting for us?
I'd like you to take over the casino management.
If I do, what will you do?
Work on developing some business ideas I have.
Chairman Jang Min Ho hired marketing consultants from Las Vegas
to develop his casino operation.
If we sit and do nothing, we'll lose all of our customers.
Have you discussed this with the Chairman?
Yes.
Alright, let's do that.
If we're going to have a chance in a fight, we need to learn how to use our weapons.
Am I interrupting your meeting?
No, we were just finishing up.
Okay, see you.
Su Hyun is here to see you.
Send her in.
Have a seat.
I'm sure you're busy so I apologize for just dropping by.
Haven't you met up with Jung Woo yet?
We did meet.
We met but he seemed very strange.
Did something happen with Jung Woo?
I would like to find out why he's changed so drastically.
We are all shocked by this sudden change in him as well.
So I'm right? He did become strange, right?
Yes.
He even abandoned his friends and went to work for Chairman Jang Min Ho.
Chairman Jang used Jung Woo and then threw him aside.
So for him to abandon his friends to go work with him,
there must be some reason for it.
But we don't know what that reason is.
Um... do you still see Jung Woo occasionally?
Why do you ask?
Well... Jung Woo, that kid...
should have stopped in already, if nothing else for the fish soup he enjoys so much.
But he hasn't been by.
And I hear he's cut off his ties with Kang Rae and Se Dol.
I'm worried that if it goes on, the estrangement might become permanent.
You're worrying over nothing. Those kids are closer than blood brothers.
How could they cut off ties with each other?
You must not know yet that,
Jung Woo betrayed Se Dol and Kang Rae
and what was the name... oh, Dae Jeong Group!
He went to work for the Chairman of that group.
Where did you hear that?
Chi Gook told me.
Chi Gook thinks you might know the reason...
behind the change in Jung Woo.
Do you know anything?
- Hello. - If you haven't eaten yet, join us.
That's okay.
I need you to come with me so please hurry up and finish eating.
What's the matter?
We've found a witness in the case that Lee Su Hyun was asking about.
How's goes the acquisition of the Cho Seon land?
There is one old man who owns an orchard and he still won't budge.
With a little more time, I will resolve it.
What's the holdup on the permit allowing Korean nationals in our casino?
We need approval from An Seong Gil, a congressman from Jeju,
but he's not cooperating.
There's nothing we haven't tried to win him over, but so far to no avail.
He is very stubborn and 'by the book',
so our normal tactics haven't worked on him.
Have Kim Jung Woo handle this.
Yes, sir.
This is where you will stay.
I tried to get a bigger room for you,
but I couldn't make that happen.
This is more than I need.
Oh, so nice.
I'll take care of the cleaning and your laundry
to make it easier for you.
No.
You don't have to worry about that.
But there's something I need your help with.
What is it? All you have to do is tell me.
I need to find out all about Dae Jeong Group activities and projects in detail.
Everything about this hotel and the resort,
and even the casino that Tae Hyuk is in charge of.
I need you to gather the business plans and all related information.
I'm sure everything that goes to the Chairman passes through Baek Sil Jang.
If you put your mind to it, you can gather all of it.
What do you need to know all that for?
I just need it.
If I wanted to, of course I can get it for you.
But I don't want you to be harmed by it.
Don't worry.
What are Se Dol and Kang Rae going to do?
I don't have contact with those two anymore.
Why? Did something happen?
No.
I just don't want to worry about taking care of them anymore.
Let them be responsible for their own lives.
Yeah.
It's me.
He's with me right now.
Okay.
It's Suk Tae.
He wants to see you now.
Hey, Suk Tae.
Have a seat.
This will be your desk.
Do you know what you're supposed to do here?
Whatever you tell me to do.
I like that you're willing to do whatever,
but I don't know if you really can do it.
What Shin Ki and I have been doing here at Dae Jeong Group is, in one word,
the 'dirty' work.
Basically, picking up shit.
They call us managers but I tell ya,
it's dirtier and more of a headache than what we did as thugs.
What do you want me to do?
His name An Seong Gil.
He's the Jeju congressman who oversees the agency that
could grant permits allowing Korean citizens into casinos.
He's stalling our application and so we haven't been able to get the permit.
Go break him.
That won't be easy.
We've already tried everything possible,
but he won't budge from his position.
Since he's a congressman,
you know that if you're not careful you can get in trouble?
Give it a shot.
This is Jackson, who will be in charge of managing the casino.
Please treat him with favor.
Please look kindly on me with your support.
What is there for me to look kindly on as far as a casino operation?
As our casino grows and thrives,
it can attract more Japanese and Chinese tourists.
That will certainly improve the local economy.
But, in order to do that, we will need your support
with the permit for our new tourist venture.
If it's to help our local economy,
I would be more than willing to help.
And also,
the hotel that the Dae Jeong Group is developing,
you do know that there are lots of problems?
Yes.
That is why I've been watching them closely.
If there are unresolved problems,
I will not allow the project to continue on.
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 reasons 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.
Don't just stay at home but get out and look for something to do.
If there's anything you want to do, I'll make it possible for you to do so.
I will give it some thought.
What do you think about Baek Sung Il?
He may have grown up as an orphan,
but he attended a good university and honed his management skills working for Chairman Jang.
I don't see him lacking anything.
If it's okay with you,
I have him in mind as a partner for you.
I haven't thought about marriage yet.
You're right. There's no rush.
I just want you to give it some thought.
I have a favor to ask of you.
Tell me.
I'm trying to forget Jackson.
It's not easy but,
I'm erasing my memories with him, one by one.
So please don't cause any more trouble for him.
Just let him continue the work he's doing.
Please promise me.
Your life was destroyed because of him so how can I forgive him?
That he ruined my life...
is only your opinion.
The days I spent with him,
were the happiest of my life.
You...!
Okay.
I will try and forget him myself.
What's that about?
That Hee Sun...
Why does she giggle whenever she see you?
Can't you see it's because she's crazy about me?
There's no one to go crazy over so she goes gaga over you?
That just makes her seem cheap to me.
You don't know but her family has a huge flounder business
and is very rich.
Okay, fine. Why don't you just nail her
and become the son-in-law of that rich family.
Then I can get some free flounder.
Jang Se Dol, where are you?
I'm at the casino.
Call Jo Chi Gook and tell him I want to see him.
Okay.
Everybody gather around.
Han Se Ran!
Yes?
Do you know your stockings are against the dress code?
I'll change them.
Lee Jin Su.
Yes?
I heard you're seeing customers outside of work
is that true?
No. No such thing ever happened.
Always handle yourself to be above reproach.
Yes.
Oh Hee Sun.
Yes?
Do you take this casino for a night club?
Why are you openly flirting with the men?
When did I do that?
You would know if you think about it.
I don't know whose back you relied on to become a dealer,
but don't smear the other dealers' faces with your cheap actions.
Back? What back are you talking about?
If anyone became a dealer on anyone's back, wouldn't that be you?
What?
Who said that?
To be honest,
isn't your height under the minimum to become a dealer?
Omo. What's wrong with my height?
If you don't wear 10 cm heels, you couldn't reach 160 cm in height.
Ya!
You, come with me.
Come.
Unnie, calm down.
Hurry up and apologize.
I won't.
What?
I can't believe this girl!
Hey, you!
Unnie... calm down...
Hey, why are you crying?
Maybe they had a chick fight.
- I can't believe her. - Please try to be understanding.
I'm here.
This is the boat mentioned previously.
Wow, it's great.
Why don't you go and take a look around?
Wow! There's a sofa...
There's even a phone.
This is so great.
Among the VIPs, there'll be people who like fishing.
If it's that, no worries.
Su Chul here is known in Jeju for his fishing skills,
isn't that so?
If you ever want to fish, I will take you to a great spot.
Thank you.
Let's go check out the front.
Oh, let's have a look.
Huh? That over there looks like Jung Woo.
These are the business plans I've been able to get so far.
These here weren't so confidential,
but this is something that was reported only to the Chairman.
Thanks for all your hard work.
Hey! What are you doing here?
Just hanging out.
I have something to say to Jung Woo,
so why don't you take off.
Okay.
Any luck?
No.
Just as you said,
there's wasn't a chance.
I told you, didn't I?
It's not going to be so easy to get to that man.
The Chairman himself assigned this to you.
It won't be pretty if something doesn't happen soon.
Will you help me?
With what?
Here we go.
Hit me!
Before the alcohol wears off, hit me!
Hey, are you crazy?
I'm completely sane so don't worry and let's get this over with.
Here, swing!
Don't blame me.
Wait...!
Okay, swing!
I'm sorry.
Are you alright?
Let's hurry to the hospital.
It's okay, I'm fine.
I didn't see the car coming. I'm sorry to have alarmed you.
I should be the one to say that.
Are you sure you don't have to go to the hospital?
Yes, I'm fine.
Don't worry.
Then...
if anything comes up later, please call me here.
Okay.
What's going on here?
Are you hurt badly?
Rib bones, the hip bone,
a total of six bones fractured.
But... Why did you say this was a 'hit and run'?
I stopped and checked on you...
and suggested we go to the hospital.
You're the one who said you didn't have to go.
And now you're saying I hit you then just took off.
When?
I was in great pain with six bones broken in my body.
You think I'd be crazy enough to say I didn't need to go to a hospital?
I looked into who you were,
and I see that you're a politician.
Surely you must know how great the consequences are for a 'hit and run'?
Yeah.
Is that true?
Good job.
What did he say?
He said he's got the congressman's written promise to grant the permit.
The problem's been solved.
Wow... I have goose bumps.
I can't believe how ruthless that Jung Woo is.
The problem of citizen access for Dae Jeong Hotel has been taken care of.
Kim Jung Woo got it done.
How?
That... that... is a little...
Just say it.
Don't get up.
I'm fine.
You took a risk there.
If it is for you,
there is nothing I won't do.
Then what? What do you want out of it?
I wanted to show you what I'm capable of,
and gain your approval.
Okay then, show me what you can do.
I'll be watching.
What are you talking about?
What do you mean you've been had by Chairman Jang?
I got ensnared in a trap that he set.
Are you alright?
I don't know what it is you're after that you would go to these lengths,
but you've already crossed that line that shouldn't have been.
I probably won't see you again,
but the reason I'm here is to warn you.
I don't know when you'll try to stab me in the back again,
but I promise you I won't allow it to happen like the last time.
As long as you're under Chairman Jang, there'll be many times you and I will fight.
When we do, I'll fight with no memories of our friendship.
Take good care of yourself.
If you're going to live like trash, let Su Hyun go.
I saw Su Hyun and she can't seem to get over you yet.
Yes.
It's me.
Jung Woo.
I was hoping I can see you.
Where are you now? I'll be right there.
♪ are now just sad shadows cast on my heart. ♪
♪ I spend my days crying over you. ♪
♪ Just in case I misunderstood, ♪
♪ how long have you been pushing me away? ♪
♪ I love you, I love you. ♪
♪ There is only you for me ♪
♪ until my final day on earth. ♪ ♪ 01:03:54,750... > 01:04:02,250 ♪ ♪ Don't leave, stay by my side. ♪
After the last time we saw each other, I've been confused.
And I struggled.
Why did you act like that?
I know that you are not that kind of person.
So when you suddenly acted like that, it left me really baffled.
Su Hyun.
Yes, tell me.
What was all that about?
Did something happen?
Asking you here...
tonight was for Tae Hyuk.
Su Hyun.
