[Episode 4] [The Technique of War]
Yes. I understand.
President.
Anthony... got on the schedule.
Kang Hyun Min is with Anthony right now.
President. I'm really sorry.
Hyun Min... He wasn't this kind of kid.
- I wonder why he did that? - I wonder why?
President Choi.
Do you think that's a reasonable explanation?
You won't be seeing me again.
President. President!
That's not it...
Wow... Really. President. I'm really amazed by you.
You found me by your people all the way out there.
This totally is a big deal.
But what made you change your mind?
What made me change my mind?
Going forward, I'm going to write my script for you, Mr. Kang Hyun Min.
I'm going to put all my effort into proving your value as the actor Kang Hyun Min.
This is why you are a newbie.
The writers all write for the lead. They should all write for me.
Understand?
Did you really mean that?
- What? - How you are only going to write for me.
How you are going to prove through your writing that I'm a great actor.
Were you serious?
Of course, I am.
Then listen carefully to me now.
If you break that promise... I'm not going to leave you alone.
Do you understand?
Yes.
I think you are mistaken. From the beginning, I've never had any doubt in my mind.
I just went there to analyze the script so I'm not sure what all that commotion was about.
We didn't know, so we made all that fuss for nothing.
I've lived for trust and honor so far.
A man....
should not take back or change his words.
By the way, President... I mean that writer...
What is she like?
Does she... keep her promise?
President.
As previously planned, we should air Elegant Revenge Two next year.
The game isn't over yet.
Managing Director Heo.
The thing we've been preparing... Get that started now.
Yes, sir.
Anthony... Just wait and see.
I'll make sure you'll get to taste the worst loss of your life.
Do you ever even think about things?
Hey, Kang Hyun Min!
No matter how great you think you are,
if you make a mistake, it'll just be a moment of glory.
That's how things work in this world.
If you are going to decide whatever you want, why do you need me?
That means you no longer need me.
That's correct.
In truth, I don't really need you anymore.
Whether I'm doing well or badly...
aren't you the one who's benefiting from me?
Answer me. You disagree?
Hyun Min. That's not what I mean...
If that's that you meant, just shut up and be quiet.
And this contract... I got it on my own. So I'm not even giving you 10 Won. (a penny)
Understand?
Let's go, Kwang Soo.
This dance always makes me so pleased.
Aw... that coy thing...
No matter how you look at it, my Bit Na has the best looks. The best...
Yes... Her looks are the best for sure.
Just looks.
Huh?
Ah, pretty.
My dear Bit Na worked so hard.
What is it, Bit Na? Is there something wrong?
I don't know. I'm so irritated.
Why? Why?
Even at the upcoming concert...
they don't want me to say anything to the audience again.
- Which crazy bastard said that? - Director Go did.
He said if the fans hear my voice they'll all totally wake up or something...
Director Go... He really needs a lesson.
What's wrong with my Bit Na's voice? It has personality and sexy.
Aw, I don't know.
Bit Na...
You want a new car, don't you?
Why?
I'm going to buy you one. A great one.
Really?
I'm getting a big check soon. We'll use that to get one.
Hyun Min.
I lo...lo... I love you.
How did you bring Kang Hyun Min here when Empire couldn't even manage?
You know this already.
I never let go of the actor I set my eyes on.
Because you rested three years straight, I thought you had lost your feel for things.
So what about the script?
We are working on episode five now.
The writer with no experience, no awards has been doing pretty well so far.
Yes, that's right.
But... it's only up till now.
That writer should stop working on the script now.
And you should put someone more experienced on it.
Excuse me?
Without a doubt it'll be a live broadcast. We can't go with a new writer like that.
I hear all the experience she has is as an assistant writer for Jung Hong Joo.
- Isn't that right? - Yes, that's correct but...
Don't say anything anymore and just change the writer.
I'm saying this as the Director of the Drama Production Department.
President. You are here.
What's all this?
Ah, you are here.
Why are you in such a good mood?
Because my mom came to visit.
President. Hi, how are you?
Go Eun hasn't come home for several days writing her script.
I came here to see whether you at least took care of her meals.
Please have a seat. It's so delicious.
I'm not sure when was the last time I had a home cooked meal.
Why don't you have some too?
I already ate.
It was a good thing I brought another set.
Set that aside for the president and put it in the fridge for now.
Okay.
My daughter is doing well, right?
Yes.
Please take good care of her.
- I'll get going now. - Please take care.
Oh, mom. Are you leaving already?
I'm already late for preparing for the dinner hours.
I'm going to walk my mom to the bus stop and come back.
- Writer Lee. - Yes.
I have something important to discuss so why don't you let her go today.
Excuse me?
Yes, go ahead and talk to him. I'm going to take a cab back home.
- Goodbye. Take care. - Hope to see you soon. Goodbye.
What is it about?
I'm going to tell you directly.
Not including the sign-on bonus, I'll give you 30 million Won more.
- What? What are you... - I want you out now.
What are you talking about?
I'm going to have to fire you. I want you out.
- What's the reason? - If you are curious, I'll tell you.
I used you to get the investment.
I have no more use for you now, so I'm throwing you out.
You asked me whether I wanted to end my life just grilling mackerels?
The business seems like its doing really well. It's not a bad idea to end your life that way.
You said we don't dream to remember it but to achieve it.
That was a lie. I had to say that to...
Who's telling me to leave? It's my work. It's my baby.
I'm sorry but I already have another writer.
What a trash.
I'm definitely the worst trash in this country. So give up now.
I can't give up. I'm not leaving even if I die.
I'm going to go to the Department of Drama and tell everyone.
I'm going to tell everyone what kind of a trash you are.
It's better if you don't go there.
You'll only realize your miserable existence.
What?
It was the Department of Drama's demand to change the script writer.
Ah, hey. You there. Hey!
It's next week so I'll know once the first draft comes out.
What is it?
I'm Lee Go Eun, the script writer for the drama, 'Gyeongseong's Morning'.
So?
I wanted to ask you a question. So I came in here even though I knew it was rude.
Just a moment ago, at the production company...
I heard the message about the change of the script writer.
The production company claims that...
it was a demand from the Department of Drama.
Is that correct?
Yes, it's true.
I know I'm a newbie with no broadcasting experience and no awards in the past.
But didn't you give us the drama time slot after reading the script I wrote?
Please give me another chance.
Where do you think you are acting up like this?
Director.
You said it with your own mouth. You have no broadcasting experience, no awards.
I'm going to tell you again as a director who's ultimately responsible for the dramas.
I can't send a newly-hatched chick with no experience into a battlefield as a general.
It's right not to start a war that we can't win.
- Then I am... - There is a simple conclusion here.
In this war, if you don't get involved...
then we can win.
If you understood, then get out.
If I'm out...
Can you promise that you will be able to win this war?
- What? - You probably can't.
Because no one knows who's going to win.
I believe there has to be an opportunity for an ability to be shown.
Even if I don't get to work on my script, I wanted to tell you this.
That young thing doesn't know her place. How dare she.
She's insolent but everything she said was true.
What?
- What? - What did you just say?
I was just talking to myself.
President.
- Are you sleeping? - Go ahead talk.
Writer Lee Go Eun. Do you think she will be okay?
I think she was really shocked.
Stop thinking about it and go to sleep.
I'm trying to do that but I can't sleep.
What did I say?
- For dramas... - You should be ready to abandon your own father.
Okay. If you understand, go to sleep now.
And prepare well for Kang Hyun Min's contract signing tomorrow.
Yes.
- Hurry up and give us our dish. - Yes.
Kwang Soo. Stop.
You are here.
I told you to build your body but did I ask you to show how to build it?
Everyone is dying to see me working out.
They all came here to see my face an body.
It's not bad to sign the contract in the flower garden.
It's just as I said before.
As soon as you sign the contract, within 15 days, you'll have 2 billion Won. ($2 million)
It'll be paid all at once.
Kwang Soo. My stamp.
Let's us work well together.
Just make sure you make the deposit within the time period.
What are you talking about?
What do you mean you can't write the letter of proof for the drama scheduling?
The contract with Kang Hyun Min has been signed and we even changed our script writer.
Our drama has been scheduled already. So why aren't you willing to write the letter?
Did I say I wasn't going to give it to you?
Show me the balance on the account for the production fund.
Excuse me?
Don't bother with the statement. I want to know how much money you have.
Director.
You know this very well.
Many production companies go into shooting...
and end up in chaos not being able to pay the actors.
That also ruins the reputation of the broadcasting company.
Write me the letter of proof of scheduling, the fund will be deposited from Japan immediately.
It's not a pocket change. It's 10 billion Won ($10 million) investment.
- Then show me the account balance with 10 billion Won. - Director.
The letter of proof is an official seal from me as the head of this broadcasting company.
If you want to get my official seal, show me the money first.
We have to deposit Kang Hyun Min's 2 billion Won soon. What should we do?
If Kang Hyun Min doesn't get the money, I'm sure he'll go elsewhere.
Ah, then the drama will become...
How about we discuss this with the investor in Japan?
We've already spoken to the personnel in Japan and they all say the same thing.
They want an official letter of proof stating the scheduling of the drama.
What Director Moon wants is not the bank account balance.
- Let's drink. - Cheers. Cheers.
I heard the writer for 'Gyeongseong's Morning' will be changed.
You know that young girl, Lee Go Eun.
She came by and she let everything out at the Director and left.
This is our first time trying this genre also.
So a more experienced writer isn't going to help much in this case.
The real issue here is Anthony's ability to produce the drama.
As you well know, recently we've seen many cases where...
due to the insufficient production fund, things have gone into chaos.
Even though Anthony was given a slot on the drama schedule...
it'd be wise to get a promise from Anthony on the situation regarding the production fund.
Actually, I already spoke to him about giving us more information on his funding situation.
There is a guest here for you.
- Hi, how are you? - Ah, President Kim.
What's going on?
I came for dinner and heard that you are here. So I stopped by to say hello.
Ah, that's what happened. Come in. Come on in.
Yes.
I thought deeply about what I said earlier. And I realized I wasn't really thinking.
As you've asked, I'll present the balance statement
of the production account along with the project plan.
Yes. That's the way it should be.
Well, let's have a shot.
What are you doing out here?
Director. I have a favor to ask.
A favor?
I heard you play golf in Nonhyeon-dong nowadays.
Tell me your four-digit locker combination. I'll prepare it by tomorrow.
- President Kim. - It a small gift of gratitude. Hope you'll accept it.
The purpose of gift is?
It's for an official letter of proof stating the scheduling of the drama.
Hey, Anthony. Are you still living like this?
- You aren't still living like this? - What?
Last year, on March 24th an item from Daejin Entertainment...
On September 13th, what was the purpose of the item submitted by the KJ Entertainment?
Be careful what you say.
I thought they were just groundless rumors.
That's right. They are just groundless rumors.
- Do you understand? - Yes. I understand.
Okay.
By the way...
I want you to take a look at my car outside.
It's black and 8911.
Yes. I understand, Director.
Are you still living like this?
I don't know what you are talking about.
You haven't changed one bit.
Since we've been drinking, I'll say this to you like a man.
President Kim.
I...
don't like you.
I especially don't like your dirty and shady tricks.
Yes. I've lived by those dirty and shady tricks.
And I'll continue to live by them.
Also think very hard about this.
How long do you think you'll be at the Department of Drama?
I think you'll be excluded from the promotion so at most five years?
Do you have a retirement plan?
Therefore you are a low-life scum, you bastard.
Thank you.
I'm going to pay for my own tab.
Did you find out more about what we've discussed?
Oh, that.
The result of the internal investigation came out the way you said.
Just as I said.
What do you want me to do for you?
I want you to kill him. So he can never return to this field.
- Here is your soju. - Thank you.
Another order of grilled mackerel please.
Yes. It's coming.
You. What happened?
I got some time-off because I was writing so well. One week.
Then hurry up and grill some more mackerels.
Can't you see that it's really busy?
Yes, Madam Kang.
Money?
I'll be getting it from the bank in 30 minutes.
Oyoung driving range in Nonhyeon-dong.
Here is Director Moon's locker number and the combination.
8911?
- No, just eat it. - Excuse me?
You can't leave any trace behind unless they cut open yours and my stomach.
Get the money in the locker right away.
I'm going to get the letter of proof.
Yes. I understand.
With the door unlocked, where did everyone go?
Writer Lee.
I came by to pick up my stuff.
- What is that? - What?
It's nothing.
Writer Lee. We had to do this to get the drama started.
There is something like that.
'Gyeongseong's Morning' will be the first drama for World Production.
Yes.
- Good luck. - Thank you.
What about the script writer?
I've been contacting capable and experienced writers.
Great.
Then go on ahead.
Then I'm going to get going.
Just a moment ago, one of my staff went to the driving range in Nonhyeon-dong.
He said they refurbished the interior so everything looks nice and clean.
You should go and see it for yourself.
By the way, did he solve the issue regarding the production fund?
Yes. He did receive the funding from Japan.
It appears we don't need to worry about it.
Congratulations.
So you finally made it happen. It's incredible.
Don't you think so? With those dirty tricks.
It was all because of your concern and care.
Do you realize how many quietly hard-working people in this field
get discouraged because of your behavior?
Yes, I know very well about that.
Because I'm also one of those quiet hard-working people in the field.
Then.
Yes, Director.
You bastard. Are you playing a joke on me?
What? I don't know what you are talking about.
How dare you play a trick on me?
What do you mean there was no money? That can't be.
Hello. Hello. Director.
PD Joo. What's going on? Did you put the money in the locker?
Well, that is. President.
Tell me now.
Writer Lee hid the money bag so I couldn't even go.
What?
President.
Where did you put it?
You talked as if though everything will work out if I were out.
But you had to resort to this kind of dirty trick?
- It doesn't matter to you anymore. - Of course it does.
Do you think I left without a fuss to see this happen?
If you left out of your own volition then give it back. Where is the money?
That money is for making the drama. It's not for lobbying and bribery.
If you don't know anything, then don't get involved.
Then explain it to me.
I don't have that kind of time. Tell me now. Where is it?
If you don't explain it until I understand, I can't tell you where it is.
If we don't have that money, there will be no drama. Happy now?
Your drama won't be aired.
If it has to be pasted with money...
Then I don't need it.
I'm the original author. So just forget about it.
- PD Joo. - Yes.
When and how did she hide it?
While I was doing something else...
But she definitely didn't go outside of this office.
President. The driving range will be closing in 30 minutes.
Writer Lee. President is not doing this because he wants to.
Don't just stand there but tell us where it is.
- Get out of way. - No, I won't.
Get out of my way!
Get out of my way.
You think I'm a pushover? You better get ready for a lawsuit.
I'm not going to let you air my drama through bribery.
Go ahead and sue me.
You'd be enduring a long boring trial process while watching my drama on air.
Open the door. Open it now.
Recently, I've not been hitting balls that well.
It's not just the ball. I'm getting sick of catering to the big wigs.
Director. It's me.
There was some mix-up on our side.
So I just put it in your locker myself.
I apologize. Yes.
You still have some business left?
You. Do you know this?
What?
How much of a bad and mean bastard you are.
Do you know how much of a cold-blooded, demon-like bastard you are?
Did you call to ask me that?
I'll answer. I know it very well. Better than anyone in this world.
If you live like that... are you happy?
What is it like to live so foolishly like you?
What is it like to be trampled on and torn apart while living like a fool?
Then those losers weeping and blaming the world for the unfairness. Are they happy?
I'm not unhappy.
At least, I didn't live my life making the world dirty like you did.
There is one thing you don't know.
The world has been dirty from a very long ago.
The one who uses any means possible and to get ahead will be the winner.
And the strong ruling over the loser is the way this world works.
I'm going to come out as the winner in this dirty world.
You. You are going to hell.
There is one more thing you don't know.
The world we live in now is the hell.
Are you not coming home today?
Perhaps.
You have a guest.
A guest?
I'm sorry at such late hour.
I'm not sure whether you've heard.
I won't be able to keep my promise with you.
I'm so thankful that you liked my work.
But due to an unforeseen circumstances, I had to quit my job.
What? Does that means the script writer is going to change?
You got fired.
Yes, I got fired.
They said I'm not capable so I got fired.
I can't be be there while making the drama. But this is a very precious work to me.
My work without its mother... Please take of it and love it till the end.
So?
Did you come here to ask for my help not to get fired?
No, that's not it at all.
- I just wanted to... - Of course it is.
You've gone everywhere but nothing panned out.
So you came pretending to be all nice and are asking me for my help.
- Isn't that right? - No, that's not right.
But it'll be no use.
Actually, I was a little worried that the writer was a newbie.
But I guess it worked out.
Don't be too discouraged. That's how it is in this field.
I said that's not it!
What is this?
I put everything into 'Gyeongseong's Morning'.
I'm leaving but I'm asking you to treat it preciously.
Why don't you get that! You stupid fools!
This woman has gone crazy.
What are you doing not getting her out?
- Let's go. - You stupid fools.
- She is totally wasted. - That's mine!
- What's yours? - Let go!
Got drunk and barged in like that...
If you live like that... are you happy?
[Gyeongseong's Morning]
[Written by Lee Go Eun]
Hey there, sister.
Such bad driving.
That was dangerous.
Wow, she's really pretty.
Hey sister, how old are you?
Sister, we are really hungry now.
Hey, take out everything you have.
Don't just stare. I said give us some money.
Whatever.
Hello. Is this the police?
I'm calling from an alleyway next to the Modern Villa in Cheongdam-dong.
There are three drunken high schoolers
trying to do something to this wasted woman.
Ah, me? I'm just a normal citizen.
I'm a normal citizen who pays a lot of taxes.
Anyway please come quickly. Yes. Yes. Yes.
Actually, I'm feeling really down today.
I'm sorry, but can't you just go away today?
My god! I'm speechless.
Hey, do you really want to die?
- Let go of me now. - This little thing.
What is she?
You guys are students. Shouldn't you be studying now?
Aw, our eyes met.
Anyway, is she really a writer?
She's a total gangster.
Scary. Jesus Christ.
Hello.
Do you know Ms. Lee Go Eun by chance?
Yes, I do.
I'm calling from the Gangnam Police Station.
I understand she was wasted...
But how could she beat up three kids to this extent?
She passed out just as soon as she got here.
But there was no one to contact.
I looked in her cellphone call log.
I noticed she called you many times.
I'm just curious. How do you know her?
I'm asking because your number was stored as 'Yeoungdeungpo Rabied Dog.'
Three million Won ($3000) was a bargain as a settlement.
- Can you let her sleep here one night? - Excuse me?
Hey there.
Early this morning, on the Olympic Highway,
a drunken truck driver was involved in an accident
that resulted in one death.
At the time of accident,
the driver's blood alcohol level exceeded 0.1 percent,
which is above the accepted level for the suspension of license.
The police will be further investigating details of the accident
and plans to charge the driver with drunken driving.
This is the next news.
This morning, Mr. Moon, a director of Department of Drama
at a broadcasting company was arrested this morning.
Mr. Moon has been accused of accepting bribery and lobbying
related to the allocation of drama schedules.
The broadcasting company stated that they'll investigate into this matter
and make sure the parties involved are held accountable.
They are carrying out addition investigation on this matter.
This is Kim Soo Yun reporting from MBS.
When you see someone getting arrested does that make you sober up?
Excuse me?
Later you should thank the person who paid for the settlement.
Why don't you go home now?
Who paid for the settlement?
That 'Yeoungdeungpo Rabied Dog' took care of it all and left.
I'm watching the news now.
The bastards should have been number one on the list.
I'm surprising he's not on it.
I have a search warrant now and in the middle of
searching his office, house, car and everywhere.
I'm sure we'll get something on him.
There is one more place.
One more place?
It's the personal locker at the Oyoung driving range in Nonhyeon-dong.
A personal locker?
It's a favored method by one of the bribers.
Yes.
Please.
Then...
Did you put away Director Moon to get Anthony?
Director Moon will tell everything but...
As soon as they find that money bag, that will be the end of Anthony.
That means the November drama scheduling is back to zero.
Schedule a meeting for tomorrow morning.
Yes.
The news was interesting.
Yes. I understand.
The search warrant has been issued.
As soon as we arrive, we'll break in and move fast to secure the item.
Scatter and find it!
Someone just got out of the building. Get him.
Understood.
This morning, Mr. Moon, a director of Department of Drama
at a broadcasting company was arrested this morning.
Mr. Moon has been accused of accepting bribery and lobbying
related to the allocation of drama schedules.
Isn't he from your broadcasting company?
When the top guy like him is gone, is your drama going to be okay?
I think it'll be okay.
If he was hungry he should have just shoved down some grilled mackerel.
Why did he have to shove down someone else's money and get into trouble?
It's me, PD Joo.
I just saw the news.
I was wondering whether everything was okay.
It was a real close call.
Fortunately, President saw the news, and moved quickly and brought it back.
It was really a close call literally by seconds. But fortunately, he made it.
Then there shouldn't be a problem with the drama.
Well, for now...
I'm sorry, Writer Lee. We need to go into a meeting.
If anything changes, I'll call and let you know.
Now that Director Moon has been arrested,
Empire Production will no doubt make an attempt to change the drama schedule.
The situation at Empire Production is?
Yesterday, Elegant Revenge Part Two scenario was accepted through Deputy Director Kim.
From what I hear, it's only about 10 pages long.
Writer Jung's Elegant Revenge Part Two was discussed for scheduling even without the scenario.
What about writer Jung Hong Joo?
She's writing episode one and two.
As soon as the first draft comes out report it to me immediately.
Who are the likely candidates for the next Director of Drama at the S Broadcasting?
Based on last year and early this year's scores, Deputy Director Park is currently being discussed.
He entered through an open recruitment.
He's known among the PDs as one with good personality and good record.
He's supported by many directors.
But if you consider school connections...
There is a talk of Deputy Director Kim, who went to the same school
with the president of the S Broadcasting Company.
And also Deputy Director Kim is well known for his wife lobbying for him.
She even moved so that her children could go to the same school with the President's children.
No need to say more.
Deputy Director Kim.
So Oh Jin Wan is the one who sent Director Moon away.
Yesterday, the Elegant Revenge Part Two scenario was delivered to Deputy Director Kim.
Director Moon was arrested early this morning.
Even if they've prepared for an immediately arrest, the fact that it was today means...
Oh Jin Wan expected we would lobby Director Moon with money.
Then the one who reported Director Moon to the prosecution was...
He was trying to put me away too.
Appointing a new Director has to be signed off by the President.
The most likely candidate for the next Director is Deputy Director Kim.
Report to me as soon as S Broadcasting
makes the announcement for the new personnel tomorrow morning.
Go ahead and go home now.
The announcement for the new personnel has been posted on their website.
The Director is coming.
It's going to be tough.
Please take care of me.
Going forward, please help me out.
Please have seats.
In order to make this disgraceful incident a growth opportunity for our SBC drama department
I feel it's crucial that we secure good scripts, good actors
and the transparency of the drama production itself.
Therefore we'll completely re-examine
the November scheduling done by the former director.
That'll be all.
I'm not accepting any congratulatory greetings.
I know better than anyone how much you dislike me.
I've been living by the ways you think are shady and dirty.
I also know that you consider me an immoral person.
But Director.
Please give me this one last chance. I beg you.
Just once.
But with that one chance, I can't let someone like
you rule over the drama field once again.
That's my conclusion.
I'm not going to change my mind. So please go back.
Subtitles by DramaFever
Go find out if we got a time slot.
Quickly!
To be honest, you should be in that position.
Please demonstrate the influence a screenwriter can exert.
You! You're subordinate to me!
I will get accepted by the program.
I'm going to put her back on the job. She's going to write better than anyone.
This game is not over yet.
You should terminate your screenwriting contract. I'll help you.
This is all for our masterpiece.
You mean YOUR masterpiece.
