[Episode 4]

Thank you. Have a good time.

I introduce to you the CEO
of Paris Salon, Kang Yeo Jin.

Thanks.

You've worked so hard today.

What do you mean, hard work?

More importantly, this is quite amazing.
You did the interior design yourself.

It's like you returned to female college
days when you were bold, smart, and pretty.

Why do you keep flattering me like that!

I'm old now.

I mean it. You were more beautiful
than any of the guests who came today.

You shouldn't say that
even if you don't mean it.

But... how do I repay
you for all of this...

You can repay me.

[French Chanson]

Do you know this song?

Why is this LP here?

It's a chanson that I happened to hear once

and ended up liking.

I didn't know that.

I just asked the band for some
recommendations for chansons with a nice vibe.

What a coincidence.

It is probably fate. Or destiny.

Or destiny.

I don't even know the
meaning of the lyrics yet.

"The life I've lived
was in waiting for you."

That line pierced my heart.

If you keep doing this,
I would be so sorry.

I must have drank too
much. I'm getting a bit dizzy...

Are you very dizzy?

No, I think I'll be fine once I rest a bit.

It's quite late now.

My son told me he was
coming home today, too.

He will probably be waiting for me.

We should both go home now, Oppa.

Team Captain Oh will take you home.

Are you okay?

Yes.

It's a bit late but congratulations on
the successful launch of your business.

It is all thanks to you, Team Captain.

Also, thank you for the LP.

No problem.

It is a song that the Deputy
Director listens to often,

so wouldn't it be even better if he
listened to it with you, Ms. Kang?

I'm grateful to you for asking.

Did you listen to it together?

Yes.

Also, please don't ever tell the
Deputy Director that I asked you.

Of course not.

Here you go. It's not much,
but it's a sign of my gratitude.

No, thank you. I would get in
trouble with the Deputy Director.

I am giving this to you so that you
take good care of the Deputy Director,

so it's all right for you to take it.

Thank you.

You've done a lot today.

Yes, thank you for all sorts of things.

You should hurry inside and rest.

Yes.

Mother.

Why are you coming home so late?

Who is he?

He's someone who helps
out with my business.

Son, let's hurry up and go inside.

Your mom is in such a good mood tonight!

Have a drink with your mother, okay?

I also want to have a drink with you,

but I have to go now since I
have exams starting tomorrow.

Today was the first time you came home,
and you're just going to leave like that?

I will come home often now.

- Really.
- Son...

You know that you're the
only one I have now, right?

If an obstacle appears in your way,

I will do everything to clear it, even
if it means my body was to break.

So, you can't disappoint me, either.

You have to take the bar, okay?

Don't worry.

Mom, I won't ever disappoint you.

I'm also...

thinking of becoming someone with power.

My child, you are so good!

I escorted her safely back to her home.

But I saw that Choi Cheol
Woong had come home.

He wouldn't have recognized me.

But the thing is...

will it be okay if Ms. Kang finds
out later that you were involved

with what happened with Choi
Cheol Woong, Deputy Director?

She mustn't know for the rest of her life.

- Home run!
- Home run, home run, home run!

[Completely sold out]

[No Ticket Scalping]

Ahjussi, I've got tickets.
30,000 won per ticket.

What the hell? It's the
bottom of the first inning.

Since the first inning is
over, I'll buy it for 25,000 won.

Okay. 27,000 won.

Geez...

- Okay!
- Okay.

Hyung Joo, three tickets for 27,000 won.

Gosh, it's the bottom of the first inning.

Gosh, okay. Okay.

Here.

Have a good time.

- Fighting!
- Fighting!

Let's go watch baseball!

Let's go! Give us three tickets!

How much for each ticket?

10,000 won each, so 30,000 won...

Gosh, this b*stard!

Hey, are we doing business by digging dirt?

We stayed up all night
to buy these tickets! Geez!

We're not selling it to you. Leave us.

How could you do this after
promising to give it to us for 10,000 won!

How could I? I just did, so what?

I just did, so what?

Go and listen to the radio

while I tell you nicely. Okay?

- I'm sorry.
- Wait.

Take the tickets.

Aigoo.

T-Thank you!

- You should say thank you!
- Thank you.

Thank you. Thank you.

Have fun watching!

The kids say they want to see it.

Are we almost done selling everything?

- There's exactly one ticket left.
- Oh, one ticket.

Can't you just give me that one ticket?

Gosh, what b*stard is saying that–

It's me.

Lee Doo Hak, you b*stard!

- You scared me, you b*stard!
- Hyungnim!

Hyungnims! Seon Woo!

- Doo Hak!
- Gosh, what are you doing scalping tickets?

Gosh, you lost a lot of weight.

No, I gained even more weight.

All right!

I heard the news that you came
out of prison when I went to visit you.

I'm sorry.

And you came to see
us only now, you b*stard?

Come on, today's a good day!

- Hey, drink up.
- Yes.

But...

- did you hear about Young Pil?
- What?

- Hey!
- Gosh, that b*stard. I wonder what he's up to.

The assemblyman who is
serving in office for our district

[2 years ago in Gwangju Prison] is not satisfied with the state
punishment given to a b*stard who committed promissory note fraud.

sh*t.

The sentence that the old man laid down for you
is for you to never be able to lift a spoon.

The old man you are serving isn't an assemblyman,
but a scumbag and an evil business owner.

F-For me, I don't know that old man at all!

Obviously, you wouldn't know the old man.

But the old man's sister-in-law owns
the building in Cheonan that you forged.

I-I didn't know. I really didn't know!

I'm sorry!

- Start.
- P-Please don't do this!

Take this.

I can't do it!

I can't do it, either!

This b*stard!

It's almost time for a close-out roll
call, so what's everyone doing here?

Who's that guy?

He's in the same cell as them.

Hey, kid!

You talking to me?

What are you doing, you b*stard!

Oh, my!

Everyone, don't move!

Kid, you must not know me well, but you won't
be able to live out your full lifespan now.

And I guess you don't know me very well, but
I have no desire to live out my full lifespan.

If you even leave a scratch on my body, your body
parts will scatter in all different directions.

Really? Do whatever you want, then.

Either we both live or we both die.

What's this! What's going on!

Don't move!

Don't move.

Don't move! I'll k*ll you!

Hey! Your body parts will
scatter in all different directions.

Hey, Seon Woo! Do you really want to die?

When did I ever say, "I'll k*ll you"?

- Wasn't it "I'll k*ll you"?
- Of course not!

Hyungs, you tell him.

Yeah, you should do that cooler!

Cooler?

- Try it again.
- I'll k*ll you!

You're making fun of me, aren't you!

Doo Hak, you went through a lot
because of that b*stard, Young Pil.

They say solitary confinement supposedly
changes a person after entering it just once.

You're probably the first person to enter it four
times in the history of the Ministry of Justice.

That's right.

In the solitary confinement,

I realized why they call prison a "school."

You can never learn how
f***ed up this world is from books.

That's right.

You've just got one star now,
and you're already a professor.

I'm a one-star that's more
like a five-star general.

- Isn't that right?
- Yes, that's right, Hyungnim.

- Right?
- Hey, lift your cups.

To our five-star general, cheers!

Cheers!

You've traveled a long way to get here.

Wow...

Wow... I wasn't sure when
my aunt might change her mind,

so I quickly gathered
some of her stuff and came.

Hey, even so, how could
you bring unwashed clothes!

Just wash it here and wear it!

Gosh!

♫ It's already in the past. ♫

[Returned to Sender: From
Oh Jung Shin to Lee Doo Hak]

♫ Though I keep thinking
that to myself and turn back ♫

♫ The sad look in your eyes grow blurry ♫

♫ More than the separation... ♫

What are you guys doing?

You. Aren't you afraid of me?

I am. But...

you're pretty.

♫ Like the starlight ♫

♫ Above your round eyes ♫

[Certificate of Registration
for Sun Film Company]

You know Sun Film Company, right?

It's located in this building.

Drive safely!

Goodbye, Boss!

I think he believes
that you're the landlord.

Of course, he should
believe it. Gosh, it's not easy.

What's wrong with you, man!

If so, then what about
Seoul and Gyeonggi-do?

The copyright market is about 33% in
Seoul, with the neighboring areas included.

For Gyeonggi-do and
Gangwon-do, it's about 15%.

But if you want to enter the
Gyeonggi-do and Gangwon-do markets,

you should target the central distributor.

Although I would have
to put my neck on the line.

Central distributor?

[Winner of College Music Festival, Shin
Bo Yeon] ♫ The more I try to forget you ♫

♫ I want to hold your hand ♫

♫ I want to be like a birthday ♫

Let's just have a drink.

- Right now?
- The boss says to sing only in the daytime.

In the evening, the
customers don't like it.

♫ I want to look at your
mind, hate me or nice ♫

♫ Let me in your beautiful life ♫

♫ Come over here, back
in your love, in my life ♫

♫ Let me go ♫

Dad... I'm so pathetic, huh?

I couldn't even protect
such a small theater.

♫ In your life ♫

But don't worry.

I will reclaim that theater no matter what!

♫ I want to be myself ♫

I miss you, Dad.

♫ Let me go ♫

And Mom, too.

♫ In my life ♫

♫ Let me go and my life ♫

[Returned to Sender: From
Oh Jung Shin to Lee Doo Hak]

♫ Let me go ♫

Hey, Lee Doo Hak!

♫ In your life ♫

Are you doing well, you b*stard?

♫ Love you no more ♫

Did you come out of jail yet?

♫ I want to be myself ♫

You probably have.

Then again, rather than seeing
each other live such a pitiful life,

it was good that we broke up.

We did the right thing.

Please let go of Jung Shin now.

Excuse me?

That girl... I thought she would
forget you once time passed...

I don't think I have
much time left to live.

It is my last wish.

Please help me.

Hey, Doo Hak!

Gosh, Doo Hak!

Hey, where have you been all this time?

- Poong h* hyungnim got caught!
- What?

To which police station?

If it's the police, we could
try bribing them, at least.

They took him to Kwang Tak.

I told you those guys are
really out to get us after last time,

so you needed to stay by
Poong h* hyungnim at all times!

I'm sorry.

Doo Hak... they said you
should come by yourself.

What do we do?

No, you shouldn't do it!

You would be going to die, Doo Hak!

It's just that Kwang Tak's g*ng
didn't expand its influence yet.

Don't you know that it's already
in the top five gangs in Seoul?

I know you're loyal,
but this is just suicide!

Hey, Seon Woo. What do you think?

I mean, I don't care. I have you, Hyungnim.

Hey, do you know how many guys they have?

And they're not just using their
fists. They're all carrying weapons!

Whether you ambush
them or face them head-on,

that... w-who, who was that again?

Yeah, even Bruce Lee would have a
hard time coming back alive from that!

It doesn't matter to me. I would just
need to beat up that one guy, Kwang Tak!

Hey! Is this the time to
be cleaning right now?

Doo Hak, are you writing the
Romance of Three Kingdoms right now?

Will the w*r be over once you
defeat the leader of the other army?

Is the world of gangsters
really that clean and neat? Is it?

Is it?

Then what do you want me to do? I
can't just leave Poong h* hyung by himself.

I can't just leave Poong
h* hyung by himself.

Surrender.

What did you say?

I heard that Yeom Kwang
Tak is a pretty loyal guy.

If you really go by yourself to save Poong
h*, then he may accept your surrender.

After surrendering, then what?

Are you telling him to become one of Kwang
Tak's minions just to save one of our cellmates?

For a guy who should be a high-ranking
gangster if he were to become one?

Then he shouldn't become a minion.

If I'm not a minion, then what?

Young Pil hyung, that
fighter guy... he's here...

What are you saying, you b*stard?

Wow, look who it is. It's been a while.

Yoo Young Pil?

Do you remember what I told you in prison?

That you will die before your time.

You b*stard. You dare laugh?

Your hyungnim invited me.

So let's just go quietly.

He's here.

Doo Hak!

My name is Lee Doo Hak.

Gosh, you're quite successful, aren't you?

Seeing how you've become
the boss of forgers at age 25.

B-B...

Y-You know, you are our b-boss.

What's this? Are you the boss or not?

I-I...

guess I am the boss. Yes...

In any case,

While growing up with Poong h* hyung
in the orphanage, we were like brothers

and shared even a bean together.

Now that he's getting a bit successful with
his business, he's completely ignoring me.

What do you think? Since
you're the boss, say something.

It's human nature to be okay to

split a bean to share, but not
want to split a crate full of beans.

Oh, really?

Gosh, you're so stingy.

Then, you will need to take
responsibility as the boss, right?

But I don't want to live being so stingy.

I will split that crate of
beans to share with you.

We will become part of your family.

What did you say? A family?

Hyungnim.

Hey, Seon Woo.

Is this b*stard on drugs or something?

So?

Will you accept us as your family?

It's half the money our family of four
earned from scalping baseball tickets.

Law enforcement has been cracking down
hard, so we're not getting much business.

Doo Hak...

You've got guts! He's got what it takes.

Have a drink with me.

Hey.

I heard you're not one to
bow your head to anyone.

I heard you refused to bow to
Young Pil to the very end in prison.

How come you are trying to bow
your head and come under me?

Do you want me to guess what it is?

There's a saying that is
popular among kids these days.

"Keep your friends close,
but your enemies closer."

It's easiest for those who are close
to stabbing someone in the back.

That is what you call a
coup d'etat, you b*stard.

You know what that
is, right? A coup d'etat?

Are you trying to bring down my g*ng?

Tell me.

I'm right, no?

Damn it, you've found out my secret.

You're quite sharp.

Young Pil.

This son of a b*tch!

What are you b*stards
doing! Hurry up and attack him!

What if he doesn't accept my surrender?

These are tear gas grenades we picked up last time
during a student protest near the baseball stadium.

With this, you should be able to escape.

Seon Woo!

All right. Do you have a towel?

Put that away, you b*stard.

You think if you just k*ll me,
everything will be over, right?

My underlings will follow you to the
ends of the earth and chew you up.

I won't k*ll you, Hyungnim.

You won't be able to
survive unless you k*ll me.

So, it would be better
for you to just k*ll me now.

I'll say it again,

but I won't die, and I won't
k*ll you, either, Hyungnim.

Then what are you trying to do?

The water's already been spilled.

Even if the water's been spilled, you can just
fill it again as long as the cup isn't broken.

Hey, Hyungnim.

Hurry up and sit down.

Hyungnim, you're not broken yet.

We'll become your water.

Cut the crap, you as*h*le.

We mean it.

If you would accept us, we will give
you half of our earnings from forgery.

What kind of game are you
playing with me right now?

I know you have great ambitions.

You're not one to be
satisfied with just Mugyo-dong.

If you want to take over
Myeong-dong and Seoul,

you would need a fighter like me,

and I would need a lord and an organization
like you and your g*ng, Hyungnim.

So what you're saying is that I am Liu Bei
and that you're something like Zhao Yun?

Think of it however you'd like.

All right.

But how do I trust that you
won't stab me in the back?

Don't you think I'd need
something as collateral?

If you hold something as collateral,
that's a business transaction,

and we can't become a family.

You will be suspicious of
me no matter what I give you.

All right.

We will look for someone else.

Go back home safely.

Oath of Brotherhood let's do it.

Let's be a family, you b*stard.

Give me a cigarette.

All right, so have you done some studying?

Boss, you want to earn more money, right?

But there's a bit of a limit to your
profits as an entertainment promoter

in Gwangju and Jeonnam,
which is only 10% of the market.

Your introduction is way too long.

We should enter the Gyeonggi-do market.

What?

Just two or three years ago, Gyeonggi-do and
Gangwon-do together only made up 15% of the market,

but with the growth of satellite cities around
the capital, the market has grown much larger.

It means there is potential.

What in the world are you talking about?

Do you know what kind
of a business this is?

If you try to take over someone else's
territory, you'll end up in big trouble!

You might get stabbed!

Gyeonggi-do and Gangwon-do are already
being split among three distributors.

So how would we force
our way into the market?

We would break that triangular formation and
bring one of them down, and then take its place.

- How?
- We'll have to figure out a way.

But if I manage to pull this off,
can you give me company shares?

Gosh, this girl's like a sly fox!

All right, go for it, then.

If you manage to succeed, I won't only
give you shares but I will even marry you.

You mean that, right?

You have to keep this promise, okay?

This girl already has
something in mind, huh?

All right. Go ahead and try.

Wait— P-President Cha!

How many shares does
Kwang Tak hyungnim own again?

30% on management,
with no invested capital.

30%?

He's such a thief.

If you live on spending your own money,

then you're not a real gangster!

But those punks did
some shitty bookkeeping.

Not to mention the sales, even.

Young Pil seems to be
pocketing some money by creating

a false ledger with the liquor
wholesaler he looks after.

I see.

I really can't understand
what the boss was thinking

when he decided to take him in.

Hey, let's say we can take him
in to boost our fighting power.

But how can he be in the
same ranks as our hyungnim?

Don't you agree, Hyungnim?

These punks, seriously.

You're ruining my appetite.

- I'm sorry!
- I'm sorry, Hyungnim.

Is this a soup and rice shop?

Aigoo, of course, there wouldn't be
any customers at this luxurious hotel

since it reeks of soup and radish kimchi.

I know he entrusted this place to you.

But I need to have lunch and
coffee here to have good digestion.

I'll buy you digestive medicine
if you've got digestion problems.

So order from the
existing menu from now on.

Make sure to pay, though.

This little punk...

Have some coffee before you go.

It's my treat today.

We're family, right?

Family, my foot.

I don't consider you to be my family.

Watch out.

Let's get along, okay?

I'll do my best!

- Let's go.
- How ridiculous.

Yes, President Yoon.

Me? I'm working.

For what business?

What did you say?

Why do you keep asking my
guys for such embarrassing things?

What did you say? Okay.

Aigoo. Make sure you treat my guys, then.

Yes, yes. Oh, and also...

you know, after the
sh**ting, the actress...

That's right.

Yes, yes. No, just naturally
invite her to drink. All right?

Rotary club and full amenities.

This is a gift from Hyungnim.

Let me know if there's anything you need.

Thank you, Hyungnim!

I'll make this short.

From now on, there's no such thing as
one taking or eating more than the other.

A family eats, poops, and
fights together. Understood?

Yes, Hyungnim!

Raise your glasses.

- Cheers.
- Cheers!

My, my.

Okay, okay.

Aigoo, sh*t.

Yes.

Hey, where's Doo Hak?

Aigoo!

Gosh!

Got it.

Manager, I heard the
sh**ting was delayed a lot.

Will we be able to finish
by the premiere date?

I won't let those b*stards go.

I'll take care of it myself, so Namdo
Film Studio, stay out of this. Okay?

Gosh, Manager!

Where are you going?

Gosh.

- Open the criminal's mouth and feed her the poison!
- Yes, sir!

Your Highness!

No, Your Highness!

Your Highness!

Is the poison she ate a real poison?

It's an herbal tea.

Oh, an herbal tea.

Gosh, I'm so glad.

- No!
- Your Highness!

Your Highness!

- Your Highness!
- By the way...

That court lady seems
to be wearing a watch.

Awesome.

Cut!

Gosh... hey!

- What's going on now?
- What's that? Oh, my. Wait.

Whoa! What the heck?

Director!

Wait, help me get back up.

Gosh. What the heck is this? Is it no good?

Bravo!

Song Yeon Ju, a male director
wanted by the 21st century so badly

is waiting for you right now.

Please hurry up and come out.

He seems to be from the other
movie Song Yeon Ju is a part of.

Hey! Tell him to keep waiting!

We also need to finish
this scene today, okay?

Hey, everyone, gather!

If you don't move out in three seconds,

- we won't hold back anymore.
- N-No one told you to hold back!

One!

Two!

- Go.
- Wh-Whoa...

- Move!
- W-Wait...

What's this?

- Aigoo.
- Gosh, no!

- Aigoo.
- Let go!

- Huh?
- Oh, my gosh!

You want to die?

- Sit down.
- You almost had me there!

- Sit down!
- Come on.

Aigoo! You can't!

Let go. Let go of me!

You assholes!

Seriously.

Gosh, this little!

Hey.

Escort her politely.

- Mind your manners.
- I'm sorry.

Not to me. Okay?

I'm sorry.

Hey, forget it. Let's go.

Yes, Hyungnim.

- We're done here.
- Please come this way.

Who dares to intrude
on a sacred filming set...

You can't take her like that!
We need to finish this scene!

- You can't!
- You can't do this!

J-Jung...

No, you can't...

Lee Doo Hak?

Long time no see.

Why are you here?

Jung Shin, what are you
doing? Hurry up and move aside.

Leave.

I'm sorry to interrupt, Hyungnim.

We need to bring Song Yeon Ju quickly.

They insisted the daytime
scene must be filmed today.

Are you a thug?

A thug?

- Excuse me, lady. You talk a little too nicely.
- Seon Woo.

You can stay out of this.

I said, are you a thug?

Yes.

You avoided my visits
merely to live like this?

I never avoided them.

I ended up in jail because of you.

If it were you, would you want to see you?

You really...

- Do you really think I was to blame?
- Also...

I'm doing my best in life in my own way.

A thief who's diligently stealing
is doing his best, too, huh?

A petty thief who stole
a wallet gets scorned,

but a big thief who stole a country

is feared by the world.

You really lost your mind, huh?

That's not it.

The one you used to know
back then was out of his mind.

Having ridiculous thoughts, such as thinking
you'll be blessed if you're loyal to your parents,

study hard, and be
patriotic to your country.

In this twisted world,

living in a twisted way is the correct way.

Whoa...

Lee Doo Hak, you really...

became complete trash.

Trash?

Sure.

The noble daughter of a
theater-running family...

should never encounter this trash again.

- Hey, let's withdraw!
- Yes, Hyungnim.

You should drink slowly.

You somehow knew where I was, huh?

Did you get used to Seoul yet?

Is something wrong?

You...

keep in touch with Doo Hak, right?

Yes.

Since he's my hyung and friend.

He's your hyung and friend,
but you let him live as a thug?

You met him?

Yes.

I met him when...

he barged into our filming
set to snatch out an actress.

It must be great to be you!

You have a thug as a friend.

We're not kids anymore.

Who would listen to whom? We just...

live according to our fates.

Fates.

Fates?

Is your family servant's
son fated to be a thug, then?

Are all ex-convicts fated to live as th*gs?

Even if the entire world points
fingers at him, at least you...

You shouldn't be doing
the same, you as*h*le!

There's no such thing
as fate in this world.

Lee Doo Hak, you really...

became complete trash.

Aigoo. Are you okay?

I told you to drink in moderation.

Cheol Woong...

I have a request.

Please bring...

Doo Hak out of that place.

Don't let him live as a thug, please?

You're really the only one.

If you let him live like that...

it's too unfortunate for Doo Hak.

It's too unfortunate for our poor Doo Hak.

Jung Shin... can't you...

forget about him now?

Cheol Woong...

I have something to ask you.

Please tell me honestly.

Go ahead.

Did...

Doo Hak really k*ll a person?

No matter how I think about it,
he's not the type to do such a thing.

He did. Doo Hak hyung was the one.

He was avenging me on the guy who
beat me up and he died accidentally.

And he died accidentally.

What a twisted life that as*h*le has.

Isn't this really too harsh?

Aren't you being too
harsh on that poor kid?

Gosh, I'm about to die, seriously.

Whoa, just how much did you drink?

It still reeks of alcohol!

What's that? Is it hangover soup?

Gosh, Yang Ja, you're the best.

Gosh, the heartburn.

My heart burns more, you wench.

You even have a knight who
brings your drunken a*s home, huh?

Who did?

Don't you remember?

Cheol Woong brought you all the way home.

Cheol Woong did?

Did you really blackout,
or are you pretending?

That can't be, though.

I haven't seen him since high school.

But he became really handsome.

By the way, since when
have you two been talking?

Wait, more importantly— Where did it go?

What time is it right now?

Whoa! I'm late, late. So late! Oh, no!

- Hey, I prepared the meal! Eat it before you go!
- I don't have the time!

But seriously, what's up with your hair?

Are you a ball of iron?

My hair just doesn't grow. What can I do?

Who is he?

He's my guest.

Wait, so...

did you come to advise
me to stop being a thug?

Nope.

What right do I have? I'm also trash.

It seems...

Jung Shin still isn't over you, Hyung.

She cried a lot.

She must've pitied me.

I don't think that was all.

When you were in prison, it
seems she wrote letters constantly

and went to visit you frequently, too.

Why did you break up?

It was just too pathetic.

So I broke up with her.

Let's stop talking about this.

Talking about young love and
memories. Geez, it's childish.

Hyung...

do I have to become a prosecutor?

Yes.

Before you graduate.

In that case...

since I'm granting your wish...

you grant my wish, too.

I can...

go out with Jung Shin now, right?

Hey, Cheol Woong...

there's nothing between
Jung Shin and me anymore.

You mean it, right?

You mean what you just said, right?

However...

you still shouldn't go out with her.

She's a stranger to
you, so for what reason?

You said it yourself
earlier... that you're also trash.

At least, for old times' sake,

Jung Shin shouldn't
go out with trash like us.

Isn't that so?

You're the one who turned me into trash.

What did you say?

Don't think you're the only victim, Hyung.

I haven't felt at peace even for
a single day, ever since that day.

That's why...

I'm telling you to leave Jung Shin alone.

Are you going to go to
Jung Shin and tell her?

That I'm actually the m*rder*r?

If that's not the case, then why?

Why on Earth can't I?

Jung Shin looking at me,

who has become a thug,
with disgust by your side...

It annoys me just thinking about it.

You think you always yielded for me, huh?

Don't be mistaken.

Hyung, you have never really
considered me your friend or a brother.

Since you can't win over Jung Shin's heart,
you're telling me not to date her, either?

What kind of bullshit is that!

You and I are both sons of b*tches.

We're dogs talking bullshit.

Would we be talking like decent people?

[Joongbu Film Distribution Company]

Go and target Joongbu
Film Distribution Company.

President Na there is famous for gambling.

I'm not sure if he got involved
with commissioned card sharks,

but he's rumored to be
quite low on cash lately.

[Namdo Film Studio]
Oh, you work for President Cha?

Yes.

Well, I do know President Cha well.

Anyhow, what brings you here?

President Cha wants to partner
up with you, President Na.

She wants me to join in
on distributions in Jeolla-do?

No, she wants to do distributions
in Gyeonggang with you.

What?

Whoa...

Now, now. I complimented her as a heroine,

but President Cha got a lot of gall, huh?

You can continue the
management as you've been doing.

President Cha just wants
about 30% of the shares.

Hey, now.

People in this field are
more territorial than gangs.

If you recklessly enter someone
else's region, you'll be in big trouble.

Go and tell her, okay?

If she wants to live a long life,

she should just sit back
and fart around in Gwangju.

Understood.

Right.

You must've borrowed a
lot of money on the house.

In fact, President Cha doesn't
know about your gambling.

That's why I was going
to oppose her proposal.

But I didn't want to ruin her relationship
with you, so I just dropped by.

Thank you so much for rejecting it.

Wait!

30% of the shares?

How much was she going to pay per share?

So?

- I called 100 million won.
- What...

It's a little too much.

If you think about the market
that will grow, it's nothing.

By the way, President
Na had conditions, right?

- First off, he asked for complete confidentiality.
- Of course.

If word gets out, he won't be able to
keep doing business in Gyeonggang.

And then?

He asked for the shares to be
returned whenever he pays you back.

What did you say?

What's good for us, then?

If he just pays back the principal,
we can't even get the interest!

President Cha, this is such a losing deal!

And so?

I said okay.

Have you gone mad?

My goodness.

You did so well.

- President Cha!
- It'll take more than an eternity for you to get on her level.

Have you ever heard a
gambler cleare his debt?

Okay, then. What about a
gambler getting more debt?

That's it, all right? That's exactly it.

It contains about three large ones.

So go and get Joongbu in your hands.

Oh, my!

You said you'll give me my shares, right?

How many shares will you give me?

Don't you trust me?

Do you trust me, President Cha?

Okay.

What is it that you want?

If I reach 50% distribution in
Gyeonggang region after obtaining Joongbu,

give me 30% of the shares.

Whoa, whoa. Has this girl gone mad?

Did you really hurt your head or something?

What if you fail?

I'll have to spend the rest of
my life as your servant, then.

I'll need to think about this.

What do you mean by a mole?

We call them informants, but
regular people call them a mole.

Are you saying Cheol Woong
really did such dangerous work?

Who exactly ordered my
son to do such a thing?

Not sure.

For now, it's reported that he volunteered
after getting an early discharge.

Things changed a lot nowadays,

so we don't even force
it, not that it's possible.

But how did he get found out?

The protesting students caught on
to Cheol Woong's suspicious activities

and must've questioned him at their school.

But...

Cheol Woong had a good friend.

Was Lee Doo Hak his name?

I heard he barged in alone against
the students and saved Cheol Woong.

Cheol Woong won't be able to
be a student activist anymore.

If he just quietly studies for the bar
exam, there won't be any problems.

Quietly.

[One Year Later]

Good job, Doo Hak.

The sales are consistent and

most of all, it's great there
aren't any small troubles.

Thank you, Hyungnim.

The shareholders have a lot of complaints.

You'll need to work harder, Young Pil.

- I'm sorry, Hyungnim.
- Also...

do you still order and eat soup
and rice at the hotel's coffee shop?

- Sorry?
- Just open a soup and rice place somewhere.

Should I open one up for you?

Let's give some more thought
into our lives, Young Pil.

Hyungnim.

What do you think about me taking and
managing Young Pil's hotel and nightclub?

Hey, you son of a b*tch!
Do you really want to die?

- Hey, Young Pil, that's not what I meant—
- Shut up!

- I'll really rip your mouth—
- You rude b*stard.

Get out, you punk.

Get out.

Gosh, seriously.

You, too.

You shouldn't say such things.

If you take over Young Pil's
turf, what will his family live on?

Hyungnim... that's not what I meant.

I was going to entrust my
hotel and nightclub to Young Pil.

What did you say?

Since my turf's system is stable, Young Pil
wouldn't find it difficult to manage it.

If I take over Young Pil's turf and improve
it, I thought it'd stabilized both sides.

Wait, then... you were saying
you wanted to switch turfs with him?

- Yes, that's right.
- My goodness, that as*h*le needs to listen to the end.

We're one family, aren't we, Hyungnim?

Aigoo.

[Appointment Ceremony
for Judicial Institute Trainees]

Cheol Woong!

Jung Shin.

Congratulations, Sir.

- Thank you.
- Great job.

Cheol Woong!

Mother!

I wish for nothing more in this life.

Don't cry now. It's a good day.

I'm getting carried away.

Your father...

should've seen this sight.

I'll go see father soon to his grave.

It's been too long since I went.

You should.

Thankfully... the Ahjussi here is...

taking good care of your father's grave.

I'm always thankful to you, Ahjussi.

Not at all. It's a matter of course.

I'm so proud of you.

I'm really proud.

You're...

making the Choi family great again.

Well, this is all thanks to you, Ahjussi.

What did I ever do to help?

Wait, why are you crying, Ahjumma?

Y-You...

You went through a lot...

Why don't you both spend
a night at our house today?

Let me pour you a drink.

Whoa...

No, not at all! We need to hurry back.

We have farming work piled up.

Don't even mention it. This man is farming

on a strip of land in Seoul.

Gosh.

I can afford to stay a night.

This woman, seriously.

You have tons of work to do!

Aigoo, you're the same as ever, Ahjussi.

Cheol Woong, don't mind us.

- I'll be going ahead, okay?
- Okay.

- In that case, I'll come and visit you soon.
- Sure.

We're proud of you.

Please take care.

Why? Are you expecting someone?

Huh?

It's nothing at all.

Congrats. For him to
pass the bar so soon...

Who does he take after to be
smart? Is it the mom or the dad?

We'll need to say it's the mom.

All right.

While we're on the topic, Oppa...

I have a request.

Sure, a request from you. What is it?

Cheol Woong wants to be a prosecutor.

Please help him.

His bar exam score was in the top rankings.

However, according to the Minister of
Justice's wife, who comes to our store,

it's impossible to be a judge or prosecutor if
you have a history of being a student activist.

That's right.

Cheol Woong will need to be an
attorney. I can't help with that, either.

It's obvious there will be more controversy if we
say he was an informant of a government agency.

Isn't that more the reason they
should let him be a prosecutor?

He shut his mouth shut
and worked for the country.

It's not that easy. When
I looked at his records,

he never provided any solid
info on the student activists.

He made it through by
walking on the tightrope.

He's neither black nor white but grey.

He wishes to become a prosecutor.

And my wish is the same.

If he had cooperated with the agency, we could've
pushed for him to be an elite prosecutor.

But the world isn't easy.

Although his smart like his mother,

his stubborn way of living to protect his
cheap conscience takes after his father.

That's true.

He takes after his father.

Cheol Woong is...

just like his biological father,

so he has ambitions.

He desires to have power.

Whoa.

You need to at least say hi if you're here.

How can you just leave?

Good job.

Go let out some stress.

What's this?

Oh, my.

Lee Doo Hak's become so lavish after
becoming Kwang Tak g*ng's No. 2, huh?

How cool.

Anyway...

I've completed your
order at this point, right?

Don't be arrogant.

You finally got the qualifications to
pay me back. This is just the beginning.

That's right. It's the beginning.

By the way...

I'm trying to start something else, too.

I'm going to...

make Jung Shin my woman.

Of course.

He is also a foolish father,

who still doesn't recognize his son,

who is right in front of his eyes.

Please...

help Cheol Woong become a prosecutor...

as his father.

Don't try to put up a front.

I know full well that you haven't
gotten over Jung Shin yet.

If you want, Hyung, let's compete
again as we did in high school.

It'll be a fair play.

Okay?

Why, you little sh*t!

♫ Will I be able to come to you again? ♫

♫ Trembling eyes, they're
even more sorrowful ♫

♫ Above the rough sky,
my heart floats away ♫

♫ Only your name ♫

[Oasis]

Don't you have any other sound reasons?

Doo Hak hyung is okay, but not me?

I'm not afraid.

Why? Because I did it
to live like a human being!

Just hit me like you always did.

President Cha! You're
the best, President Cha.

I'm not the puppet you used to know.

I'm Korea's prosecutor, Choi Cheol Woong.

I just don't understand why my
superior is showing him so much grace.

Jung Shin...

Jung Shin has been kidnapped, I said.

If you help me, I think
there might be a way.
