I want Dae Jeong Casino...
and I want you to stay out of any casino business in the future.
You’ve taken that casino away from Chairman Yoo to begin with.
Tell me.
If there is anything I can do, I will.
Even if it’s ending someone’s life?
The soul of a rogue like you, how much can it be worth?
But I will pay you a high price. Get lost immediately.
I think you will have to take care of Baek Sung Il.
Sometimes for no reason,
the tears come from the ache of my heart.
I still don’t have the courage to send you away.
I live day by day in this hell that I must forget...
What do I have to do, so that the both of you... will forgive me?
Tell me...
If only this was just a dream, no, this is a dream.
What can I do?
That is what I hope.
I close my eyes
when you come to mind.
I’m afraid I’ll see your face, so I close my eyes and send you away.
Episode 23
How are you feeling?
Those guys that beat you up, must have been professionals.
According to the doctor,
your entire body was covered with blood...
but not a single bone was broken.
Go outside for a minute.
Why?
Just go out!
Chairman Jang knows you’re his son.
How?
I don’t know how he found out,
but he wasn’t happy I knew about it and hadn’t said anything.
What’s interesting though
is how he acted after he found out you were his son.
I’m sure he ordered you to get rid of Baek Sil Jang.
He called me as he couldn’t reach you,
wanting me to find you and tell you not to...
proceed with his instructions.
What’s even more interesting...
do you know how you were released?
In exchange for Baek Sil Jang letting you go,
the rights to Dae Jeong Casino were handed over.
You talk about revenge and such,
but he really is your father.
Where is he now?
He’s still in the hospital.
And his condition?
I don’t think it’s anything to worry about.
That’s a relief.
Did Director Han save him?
No. What happened was... Baek Sil Jang...
contacted Chairman Jang and they made a deal.
Chairman Jang?
Yes.
Su Hyun...
we found Jung Woo.
Where?
Is he safe? Is he hurt?
He’s fine, so don’t worry.
Where is he now?
I’ll call you back later. Yes.
Were you able to get in touch with Kim Jung Woo?
No... not yet.
I have to meet with him to verify some things.
It might be a problem if it’s delayed any longer.
Is there, something you can’t tell me about?
No. There’s nothing like that.
As soon as I get a hold of him, I’ll bring him to see you.
Here are the rights to Dae Jeong Casino.
So, Jang Min Ho really handed them over to you?
Why?
Because of Kim Jung Woo.
That he would turn over his casino to save an employee...
I find it hard to believe.
I didn’t know this but it turns out that
Kim Jung Woo...
is Chairman Jang’s son.
His son?
Yes.
How is that possible?
Then Chairman Jang ordered his own son...
to take care of you?
And because of him, he hands over his casino?
None of this makes any sense.
I find it hard to believe myself,
but what’s important is, we now have the casino.
No wonder... I thought there was
something in him that resembled Chairman Jang.
I’ve served Chairman Jang for over twenty years...
and this is the first time I’ve seen him show any weakness.
Even as I was making the deal, I thought I had a 50:50 chance.
But knowing now it was so easy, I regret I didn’t make greater demands.
Are you boasting that you did something good?
I’ve lived my life doing whatever dirty work was necessary
if it meant I could make some money.
But I never threatened someone’s child to get my way.
It’s something I would never do!
I’m not happy with the way you are handling things.
Now that you’ve lit that kind of fire under Chairman Jang,
how will you handle what is to come?!
Okay. I’m on my way to Jung Woo with the abalone gruel In Sook made.
Don’t worry. I’ll stay with him.
What are you doing?
Where do you think you’re going?
Oppa.
Oppa!
Welcome.
Have a seat.
I heard from Mi Ran.
As you know, your father and I
worked together for decades, each owing the other, his life.
There’s no secret, nor anything that we don’t know about each other.
But, what do you think the reason is
for us being enemies now?
I believe it’s my father’s greed.
You’re right.
I was willing to do whatever Chairman Jang wanted.
But, his demands never ended.
I will apologize in my father’s stead.
That’s not what I’m after.
It’s what we do now that’s important.
If we are to protect
Dae Jeong and Jung Moon casinos from Chairman Moon Sung Chul and Baek Sil Jang,
we have to join forces.
Mi Ran is ready to marry you.
I want to hear what you think about this.
I only told him that my feelings for you have never changed from before.
You don’t have to feel intimidated.
Just tell him what you honestly feel.
Once we’ve put this problem behind us,
I will give it some serious thought.
I’ll call you right back.
It’s urgent.
What is it?
Dae Jeong Casino was turned over to Baek Sil Jang.
What?
What happened?
How could something like that happen without my knowledge?
Any chance you’re mistaken?
No, I’m certain.
I never imagined Chairman Jang would do something like that.
My father...
it was my father who did that?
He handed it over to get Kim Jung Woo released.
It just doesn’t make sense.
Just who the hell is he?
The Chairman is not in his office.
I asked the administrative staff...
but they said they don’t know where he is.
Is it true you turned over Dae Jeong Casino?
I’m in charge of Dae Jeong Casino!
How could you make a decision like that...
without even telling me about it?
What did you say to me when I first started working?
You told me you started it, but caring for it is my responsibility.
I believed in that and came this far.
Every time I thought I’d disappointed you,
I would tell myself not to fail you,
that I couldn’t give up because I was your son.
So, how can you do this to me now?
Do I now have to turn my position over to him?
Is that it?!
I’m sorry I couldn’t discuss it with you first.
But I trusted that you would understand.
You were abandoned until you were fourteen,
and you’ve blamed and rebelled against me since then.
Have you already forgotten how you behaved back then?
The person that should understand best what Kim Jung Woo
is going through right now...
is you.
What do you mean understand him?
How could you expect that from me?
I disliked him from the beginning.
He wanted to get ahead and to do so, he latched himself onto you.
During the entire time we lived together,
he never once showed me his true self.
And what I will never forgive him for is...
he stole from me the only woman I loved.
Are you talking about Su Hyun?
He was always like that!
He acted like he would crawl when told and play dead when told to die.
But all that time, behind my back,
one by one, he was taking away what was mine.
And now you’re saying I have to accept...
that vicious person of your making, as a brother?
I cannot do that.
I will never do that.
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.
Why are you drinking so much?
You know how I feel.
When you called me, I thought hard about what to do.
I thought I should just treat you coldly and not meet you...
since we’re enemies now.
Would you believe me if I told you...
that my decision was made difficult because of you?
No. Why would I believe anyone...
when even my own father treats me this way?
I understand.
That news about Kim Jung Woo was shocking even for me.
Whether he really was my brother or not,
I was just going to ignore it.
But without a single word to me about it,
he handed over Dae Jeong Casino.
How should I accept this?
I never expected him to hand it over so easily.
I think it was only recently he learnt, that Kim Jung Woo was his son.
If he had known,
I don’t think he would have ordered him to kill me.
And you call that a consolation?
Tell me why you wanted to see me?
I want to test my father... to see what I mean to him.
For Kim Jung Woo, he gave up his casino.
I want to know what he would give up for me.
Then to find that out, do I need to I kidnap you?
I thought when I saw you I’d want to punch you.
But now that I see you, that’s hard for me to do.
I’m sorry.
Are you okay to be running around like this?
I felt like I was going to explode.
That I owe my life to Chairman Jang is more than I can bear.
And I find myself pathetic.
It’s all past now.
Just think of the future from now on.
Chairman Jang found out I was his son.
I haven’t been able to do anything yet
but I feel like I’m standing naked in front of him.
Now I understand why he traded Dae Jeong Casino for you.
What are you going to do?
Like you said, you stand before him naked.
Can you continue working for him?
I thought about that.
But if I give up now, I’ll end up with nothing.
I will wait and see how he treats me.
Why would you show up here?
How does it feel to have things go as you’ve planned?
How does it feel to lose our casino in one moment...
and cause a rift in my relationship with my father?
Tell me how far you’re going to take this!
I don’t understand what you’re saying.
You don’t know?
I have heard all about your plans.
I even know you’re in cahoots with Jackson.
So what do you say?
That never happened.
You bastard!
What are you doing?!
Make reservations at Shine City
this weekend for a game of golf with the investors.
Yes, Chairman.
And you attend the construction meeting for Baek Sung Ri Resort.
Yes.
Stop the car.
Yes, sir.
It may sound like an excuse for me to tell you this now...
but, I had no idea about what happened.
I have paid the price for that with the latest events.
With that, I plan to shake off any debts I may feel toward you.
But there is one thing I promise...
I will give you a fair opportunity.
And I accept the fact that...
you’ve reported to work as if nothing happened as acceptance of that opportunity.
You may already know this,
but, I’m not one to belabor over blood ties.
You have failed me once.
How you conducted yourself in this latest incident,
was foolish and naive of you.
If you ever do something like that again,
don’t blame me even if I throw you out.
There’s something you have to do.
Now that Baek Sung Il has the casino from me,
he may think he’s won.
Now I plan to take away something greater from him.
That’s something you’ll have to do.
I spent several days and nights contemplating
on what we’re about to say to you.
That is...
It might be difficult for us to continue working with you.
When you first came to me saying you wanted to help,
I was feeling pretty confident.
I don’t know how things got to this point... but I’m sorry.
No, I fully understand why you feel this way.
But as you know, I have been preparing for a major game
and to have it end before I was finished setting it up...
makes me feel a little regretful.
I haven’t been able to make a single bet yet.
We’re in too dire a situation to wait any longer.
Aren’t you curious to know what my hidden card is?
What are you going to do?
About what?
About the offer Baek Sil Jang made us.
What about you?
Just thinking about it gives me a headache.
And there’s no way to know what will happen between Chairman Jang and Jung Woo.
We need to get in the right line but I have no idea which line is the right one.
After loosing the casino to Baek Sil Jang do you think the Chairman will just sit back?
No. Of course he wouldn’t just sit back.
Baek Sil Jang’s days are numbered.
If we go with him, that will be the end of us as well.
But we can’t just go along with Jung Woo either,
unless he gives up on his thoughts of revenge.
You really have no idea why he’s so protective of him?
That’s not for you to worry about.
But, if Baek Sil Jang takes over Dae Jeong Casino,
then... what happens to you?
Yes?
What is it?
I wanted to ask you something.
Please, sit down.
There are some strange rumors circulating among the employees.
What kind of rumors?
That our casino will be turned over to someone else.
It’s true that there’s a problem, but it’s not definitive.
Please, do what you can to put their worries at rest.
Yes, sir.
I’ll be a little longer, so will you wait for me?
If you wait, I’ll buy you a present because you been so down these days.
Keep your head up, girl.
Wait a moment.
I’m sorry. Now, where were we?
If we are to bring our guests here, we need to know what you have.
When you look around you’ll see, we have a good selection of merchandise at reasonable prices.
Are domestic guests permitted?
Of course. For domestic guests that travel here,
they can shop six times a year, with a $400 maximum purchase per visit.
Thank you.
Kang Rae.
Oh, Su Hyun.
It’s been a long time.
You’ve been doing well?
Oh, you know me. I’m okay.
Do you know where Jung Woo is by any chance?
I haven’t been able to reach him by phone.
You should be able to now.
There were some problems but they’re all worked out now.
I see.
I see you next time.
Yes.
Who was that?
Just someone I know.
Why do you know so many women?
How many more are there?
At least another truckload.
Satisfied?!
Ugh, if her family didn’t own the fish farm...
I fear that our casino will change hands.
Why?
A lot of different stories are going around.
One is that the Chairman handed our casino to Baek Sil Jang because of Jung Woo.
But I think that’s too far fetched.
Why would he hand over the casino that Tae Hyuk runs just because of Jung Woo?
Anyway, the mood at the casino lately is really gloomy.
[Su Hyun]
It’s me.
Jung Woo.
I was so worried I couldn’t reach you.
Are you okay?
Yeah.
Let’s meet.
Should I come to you?
No, I’ll go there.
The Chairman gave up the casino to save you?
Yeah.
Knowing you’re his son?
What will you do now?
For the time being, I’ll continue working for Dae Jeong Group.
He is bound to find out what you’re thinking.
How can you keep working there?
If I leave there, I can’t do what I hope to do.
Even if it’s hard, I plan to endure.
Investigator Yoon has been asking about you.
He said he needs your help.
You’ll call him, won’t you?
No.
I know that the night you came to see me,
you were about to follow Chairman Jang’s orders to kill Baek Sil Jang.
How could you even consider killing a person?
What is the purpose of revenge if it destroys you in the end?
Why are you doing this?
Put all this in Investigator Yoon’s hands and...
stay out of it now.
Investigator Yoon promised to protect you.
If the Investigative Office gets involved now,
the solution will become more difficult.
It’s going to be a wrestling match,
that the law won’t be able to resolve.
Jung Woo.
I promise you one thing.
The happy times that we had in the past won’t remain just as a memory...
rather they’ll be our future.
I’ll be safe, so don’t worry too much.
Then you’ve quit?
Yeah. It’s turned out that way.
I may be leaving, but you guys can stay on.
Without you here, what reason would we have to stay on?
I’m going to quit.
Same here.
So after you stop working here, what will you do?
Will you be returning to America?
No.
There’s something I dream of doing here.
That hasn’t changed.
- So... - Yes.
If we continue to serve our guests like always, you can say we’ll have a happy life.
- You’re right. - That’s right.
What’s with you, guys?
You look like you’ve eaten shit.
What? Did something happen?
We’re going to quit working here.
What?
Why all of a sudden?
The boss is going to quit.
What happened? He got fired?
No, he just wants to do something else.
Then you’ll be working with him?
No, we haven’t thought that far ahead.
Anyway, we’re going to quit.
What will you do?
I really like working here.
Plus it’s fun.
And at my age, to go back to the old work of being guides...
for fishermen, isn’t a pleasant thought.
What do you think?
I will go along with whatever you decide.
Then do as you wish.
- We will explain to the boss. - Yes.
We’ll be off now.
Now Hee Sun will have to feed and clothe Kang Rae.
What do you mean by that?
We just quit.
What?!
You never said a word to me about it.
It just turned out like that.
We’ll talk about it later.
How could he be like that?
Do you think it’s because of another woman?
What?
You said there was another woman besides the one that looked like a model.
He doesn’t look the type...
but he really must be a player.
Kang Rae is not that kind of person!
Why do you keep teasing her?
The way she flirts around gets on my nerves.
Noonim...!
Aigoo... aigoo... ai!
Didn’t you go to work?
Why are you here?
We quit our jobs.
Why?
We missed our beautiful noonim so much, we just quit.
So if you quit, then what are you going to do?
Kang Rae might become the son-in-law of a large fish farmer.
Really?
No, nothing’s definite yet.
Aigoo...!
Can you make us some fish stew?
It’ll take just a minute.
- Sit down and wait a moment. - Yes.
- Wow, there’s just no comparison to her cooking. - Oh, this is so good.
Um, take this to Jung Woo.
What is it?
It’s the late Detective Hyun’s journal.
Journal?
I found it when cleaning the room.
It’s his journal from when he was young.
There are a lot of entries about Jung Woo’s mother.
Jung Woo doesn’t know anything about her.
If he reads this, he’ll know what kind of person she was.
When I read this, I was really astounded.
Why?
It’s not something I should repeat.
Tell Jung Woo to read this.
I thought you were avoiding me.
So why this change of behavior?
Dad, you see me as a person who doesn’t know...
anything about the world or how to judge people’s characters.
But, I am worried about you.
Can you stop working with Baek Sil Jang?
Is it that again?
No matter how well he treated me,
I’ve never once thought he was on my side.
If I weren’t your daughter,
he wouldn’t have looked twice at me.
If you really feel that way,
I won’t ever try to bring the two of you together again.
I don’t want you to trust that man.
He immediately betrayed Chairman Jang...
whom he served for over twenty years.
I want to test my father... to see what I mean to him.
For Kim Jung Woo, he gave up his casino.
I want to know what he would give up for me.
[Jang Tae Hyuk]
It’s me.
When I say, 1-2-3, you say ’kimchi’ and I take the picture.
Okay.
1, 2, 3.
Kimchi.
Come and see.
Look at the picture.
Look at the colors... it’s exactly like your clothes, huh?
Wow, what a great picture!
Now go stand over there.
Okay.
I’ll take it after I count to 3.
1, 2...
When I see the two of them together,
I feel like they have a secret plan to make a fool of me.
Do you still want to test your father?
No. Something more definite.
To cut Jung Woo completely off from my father.
Can you help me?
When it comes to Kim Jung Woo, we’re not enemies but partners.
You won’t regret it?
I will never regret it. Just make sure he’s completely cut off.
Without even asking me what I want in return?
It doesn’t matter what it is.
Oppa.
What’s going on?
I took kids from the orphanage to the park and saw Baek Sil Jang.
Do you know who he was meeting?
Director Jang.
Tae Hyuk?
Uh huh.
Director Jang looked really worked up and seemed like...
he was talking about you.
I’m sure it was about the casino.
Don’t worry about it.
Still, be careful.
Okay.
Don’t worry and be on your way.
Oh, Su Hyun.
I’ve been waiting for your call.
Have you been in touch with Kim Jung Woo?
No.
I think him coming in to see you won’t be so easy.
Why?
Would it be okay if I explain in person?
Uh, then where should we meet?
You name the place. I’ll be there.
No, I’ll just come to your office.
Here?
Okay, do that then.
Yes.
Please, sit down.
I’m sorry for making you stay late at work.
But I thought it would be better to tell you as soon as possible.
Is it about Kim Jung Woo?
Yes.
By looking at your expression, I think it’s a long story.
Would it be okay then for me to take some notes?
Yes.
Jung Woo...
is Chairman Jang’s son.
When I first introduced Jung Woo to you,
do you remember me saying...
he was closest to Chairman Jang and knows the most secrets.
I remember.
Chairman Jang didn’t know until a few days ago,
that Jung Woo is really his son.
But Kim Jung Woo knew...
that the Chairman was his father and went to work for him.
Yes.
For revenge.
Against his father.
Revenge for what?
This reminds me of the old days.
Back then, we couldn’t afford a place like this.
We’d sit at the edge of the water and drink canned beers.
Yeah, we did.
With those candles put inside paper cups. Crazy.
We made those moments...
and thinking back on them, I miss those times.
Don’t you think so, Jung Woo?
Is there something going on?
We quit our jobs at Jung Moon Casino.
It seems like Chairman Yoo told Jackson to resign.
Without the boss there, what’s the use of staying.
So we left, too.
Oh, that’s right.
Here you go.
What is it?
It’s Detective Hyun’s journal from when he was young.
In Sook asked us to give it to you.
She said, there were things about your mother in it.
Wow, their story is as intertwined and messed up, as much as it could get.
Then Dae Jeong Casino is now Baek Sung Il’s.
Yes.
What is the reason you’re telling me all this?
I want Jung Woo to be extricated from this continual fighting.
Please, help him.
I hadn’t heard from you so I’d given up.
What’s the reason for the sudden change?
Do you think the decision was easy to make the Chairman our enemy?
So you’re checking out to see whose side would benefit you most?
You can read our minds like they’re completely open.
Then, prove to me that you really are sincere.
What do you want us to do?
Kim Jung Woo.
Find a way to cut him off from Chairman Jang.
I mean to have him removed from the Chairman’s side.
Killing him or keeping him alive, that’s up to you.
Did you spend the night here?
I didn’t sleep a wink myself.
Do we really have to do this?
Stop talking and think of a way.
Sit down.
Have you thought about what to do with Baek Sung Il?
Yes.
How do we do it?
Baek Sil Jang is so confident because,
when he worked for you, he was compiling compromising information about you.
So to shut the mouth of the person that knows every single thing about you, you will need...
to sacrifice someone.
Who will that be?
Me.
You think that sly bastard will fall for it?
To save you, I’ve already lost the casino.
If things go wrong, you will have to take all the blame.
Go ahead as planned.
I got it.
He’s coming.
Anything?
Information on Jung Woo’s
illegal actions in his investigations of you and Chairman Jang is in there.
If you turn that over,
Kim Jung Woo will be arrested.
I don’t want to get involved.
You turn this in to the Investigative Office.
I’ll just wait for the results.
What are you saying?
Baek Sung Il betrayed the Chairman and left.
How can you team up with someone like that?
If we don’t make the decision now,
even your position will not be safe.
Think it over one more time.
Is it really necessary to do this...?
I can give you the reason.
I am not betraying my father,
my father betrayed me.
If we don’t get rid of Kim Jung Woo right now,
it’ll be the end for you and me as well.
I understand.
Let’s go ahead with your plans.
Stop right there!
What do you want?
There something we need to discuss.
Come with us.
I don’t have anything to say to you.
If we say go, just go. What’s with all the yacking.
Why are you doing to this me?
Let’s go.
Just answer the questions I ask.
Jang Tae Hyuk’s been meeting with Baek Sung Il, right?
I’m... not sure.
You’ll spill out everything in the end, so let’s not waste our time.
Director Jang and Baek Sil Jang, what are these two up to?
Are you Kim Jung Woo?
Yes.
This is an emergency order to detain.
What is this about?
We have information that you were involved in a murder.
Do you know you have the right to an attorney and to remain silent?
Anything you say may be used against you in court.
Let’s go.
Call Attorney Hwang immediately.
Yes, sir.
Welcome.
Please, sit down.
I want to protect you but,
as this case moves along, things may arise that could work against you.
Will you still be okay with that?
It doesn’t matter to me.
Let’s begin.
