01x08 - Episode 8

[bunniefuu]

[crowd chatter]

[child] Thank you, sir!

[♪ soft pensive music playing]

Cha Taemin, aged 6

[kids chatting indistinctly]

[Doochill] Kid.

What's your name?

Cha Taemin.

Samsik, aged 16

[young Doochill] If you ever get hungry,
you just come find uncle, huh?

-Don't go to bed hungry.
-'Kay.

[♪ gentle music playing]

Hey, Samsik!

Clean this room too once you're done.

Okay!

[snoring]

[dishes clattering]

[groans, breathes heavily]

[Ilsik] Who are you?

Samsik, sir.

Samsik?

Apparently, he'll do anything
to get three meals a day.

Makes me wonder
if he'd k*ll someone to get four.

[giggles]

[Ilsik] Is that true?

Kang Ilsik
Kang Seongmin's father

You'd do anything for three meals a day?

Yes, sir.

[♪ gentle music continues playing]

[young Doochill humming]

[whispers]
Taemin.

[young Doochill]
You gotta eat quickly, okay?

-[distant dog barking]

[♪ tense music playing]

Economist takes a punch for democracy

Uncle Samsik

[♪ theme music playing]

Uncle Samsik

Bait

-[thunder rumbling]
-[rain pattering]

Capital Defense Unit, Secret Bunker

[Hyunseok] The rushed passing
of the Local Government Act...

Samsik orchestrated
the whole thing, didn't he?

And you supported him?

[lighter clicks shut]

Kang Seongmin will now try to pass
the Local Government Act

under everyone's noses.

And when he does, you have to make sure
your presence is known.

We should let him get away with it.

His reputation will need to stay intact.

Just as I thought. You catch on quickly.

[Kim San] And I'll stand up to him,

as a defender of democracy, right?

[Doochill] First of all,
go meet with the reporter, Oh Inwoo.

[Kim San]
I'll give you a front-page scoop.

Yeah? What kind of scoop?

A photo of an assemblyman hitting...

someone at the National Assembly.

[Doochill] Drop hints
suggesting that Kang Seongmin

will try to steal the election.

In the meantime,
I'll pay off the security guard

at the National Assembly.

[Kim San] How many Liberal Party
assemblymen are against the bill?

[Doochill] Around 20,
but no need to worry about them.

Han Soo will make sure they don't show up.

[♪ suspenseful music playing]

[Sun] Of course. Yes, okay.

[Kim San] And after that,
I'll go to the National Assembly?

[Doochill] Right, you'll go and meet
the Independent Party assemblymen.

You'll stall for a while,

briefing them about
the National Reconstruction Plan.

Meanwhile, the Local Government Act
will be getting pushed through.

And then Oh Inwoo will sneak in
to get his picture.

At that point, there could be a struggle.

You might get a little roughed up,
but nothing bad.

[Kim San] There'll be over 100
Liberal Party members in there,

you seriously think I won't get hurt?

[Doochill]
Ah, you've got nothing to worry about.

I've already gone over everything
with Assemblyman Sun Wooseok.

I have gathered


Keep them on standby and wait for my call.

[Doochill] Wooseok will be ready
and waiting somewhere on the premises.

-No need to worry.
-You came. Oh.

[chuckles]

Oh, well. It's nothing too serious.

I just wanted to see you all

-somewhere, uh, more quiet.
-[laughter]

The Liberal Party is out there
trying to steal the election.

-[assemblyman 1] Are you serious?
-What for?

The Local Government Act.

[assemblyman 2] We need to block them now!

How can 4 people block 100?

It's not like we're Admiral Yi Sunsin.

[assemblyman 1] That's abuse of power.

This is a fraudulent vote!

-[assemblyman 2] Wait! Assemblyman Kim!
-[Kim San] If Assemblyman Sun Wooseok

doesn't turn up for whatever reason,
I'll block them myself.

[Doochill] No, no, no, no, no.
Don't even think about it.

All right?

Don't put yourself in any kind of danger.

[indistinct chatter]

[Sun] Hurry, come on.
Let's get moving! Go! Let's go!

Ah, you're supposed to be
at the National Assembly.

[Doochill] You can't even stand up!

You thought this was a time
to have a little whiskey?

-[Sun] I'm going, I'm going.
-Crazy old man!

What if Kim San ends up
getting hurt because of this?

Get out! Hurry up!

Are we supposed to just watch this happen?

There are over 100
Liberal Party assembly members.

[member] I assume no one's
come all this way just to block it?

[laughter]

Let's proceed.

[Kim San] If the article gets out,
Kang Seongmin will be screwed.

Will you be okay?

-[Doochill] I'll be fine.
-How dare you try to steal the vote?

[Seongmin] Just push through them.

Link arms! Now! Link arms!

[Kim San] This vote is invalid!

We are here to reject
the fraudulent votes!

-We reject the fraudulent votes!
-[assemblyman 1] This vote is invalid!

This vote is invalid!

What are you doing? Let go of me!

I'm rejecting this fraudulent vote,
Kang Seongmin.

How dare you touch an assemblyman?
Are you insane?

Yeah? Well, you're no assemblyman.

You're just Choi Minkyu's lackey.

-b*stard!
-[grunts]

Assemblyman Kang!

[member] Just go on up.

-[Kim San] Let me ask you one more time.
-[camera shutter clicks]

Are you really done
associating with Kang Seongmin?

[panting]

[Doochill] Yes, I've already told you.
So stop asking me.

You think you can do for me
what you did for Seongmin?

Be honest with me.

I can do even more than that.

[Hyunseok] The Pak Jiwook bribery incident

was entirely orchestrated
by Samsik, wasn't it?

And you knew all about it.

What's the plan?

I plan to go after Pak Jiwook
and use Han Soo as bait.

Then what?

Then Pak Jiwook could be the bait
to get Choi Hanrim, that's what.

[Soojin] This is called a prism...

March 4, 1960
Seoul, South Korea

Night School

Oh, Jina!

Where are you going?
Heading to your house?

-Yeah.
-Just wait a second.

Anyway...

Here you go, take this to your mother.

[Soojin] This one needs some mending.

My mom does this kind of work?

Mm-hmm. You didn't know that?
She's actually quite talented.

Okay.

[Soojin] Bye.

Who was that?

The neighbor's kid.

Rhee Seungmin for president again
Rhee Kihak for vice president

Democratic: Yoon Bohyun for president
Jang Min for vice president

We've had enough! Let's make changes!

We'll end up worse off by making changes!

[Kim San] Jina.

Huh? Uncle, you're here.

What are you doing out here?

Everyone in the neighborhood
has been talking about you.

Let me take that.

They saw me in the paper?

They say they'll vote for you
if you run for the Assembly.

Really?

[Jina] Are you gonna be
an assemblyman one day?

Well...

If Jina wants me to.
Is that what you want?

[chuckles, clicks tongue]

I think it's...

it's less about the job you have

and more about the things you actually do.

Yes, you're right about that.

You're so grown up, Jina. Let's go.

[Jina] Soojin just gave me this.
It's for Mom to mend.

I didn't know she's been working.

She must be doing it while I'm asleep.

Election Campaign Headquarters

Well done.
It's passed, the bill went through.

[Minkyu] No need to worry about the rest.

It's handled.

Right.

The bill's gone through.

Soldiers and government workers,
get them on board.

We'll have assemblymen
stationed at the voting centers.

[Minkyu] Send them right away.

I'll have it done by the end of the day.

-And what about Army Headquarters?
-[employee] Yes.

-They're confirmed?
-[employee] Yes, sir!

Economist takes a punch for democracy

[pedestrian gasps]
Isn't that him?

It is! He looks even better in person,
don't you think?

Hello, stranger.

Just a moment.

-[Kim San] How are you?
-I'm well.

How are you though?

Not bad. Why?

Well, it seems like everywhere we go,

-you seem to be the talk of the town.
-Yes, I know. I feel uneasy.

Quite the performance, Mr. Kim.

[Kim San] I just happened to be there.

I'll see you around then.

Sure. See you when I see you.

Goodbye.

Actually, Mr. Kim...

Why don't the two of us
have dinner tonight?

Tonight?

Yes, dinner tonight.

Meet you at the hotel later.

[Rachael] Let's go.

[breathes deeply]

[Inho] Wow. Our friend's turning into
a real star.

-Wonderful.
-[chuckles]

[Hanmin] Hey, Captain Pak.

You asked about
getting a hold of a book, right?

Oh. Can you get it?

I can have it shipped from Japan.

Wow, thank you.

What do you need a philosophy book for?

[Inho] Man, this guy's trying to be
a philosopher, huh?

[Inho chuckles]

Are you a fan of Mister Choo Intae?

[soft chuckle]

[Yeonchul] Oh, Samsik! Over here!

Come on, hurry up!
Visiting hours are almost over.

Why are you so late? This way.

Is he gonna pull through?

Let's just get in there
and talk to him first.

Which one is it?

[knocks on door]

In here.

Oh my, hmm, how could this happen?

I'm old. It's not that shocking, is it?

[sighs]
Still... it's such a critical time.

[soft groaning]

When my time comes...

[groans]

...who do you think will take over then?

[Yeonchul] Sir, please,
no need to think about that now.

[groans]

There. That one.

[Yosub] He's not like his brothers.

He's young,

he has a gentle disposition.

He'll need your guidance.

[Yeonchul] Yes, sir.

-[Yosub pants]
-[sighs]

Samsik.

Yes, sir?

I wanna try a red bean bun.

One of the buns from your bakery.

Of course.

Next time I come, I'll bring it all.

Red bean bun,
sticky rice mochi, everything.

[strained chuckle]
Yeah.

[Yosub chuckles]

Aemin Daily

[telephones ringing]

Democratic Party's Economist Kim San
puts forward feasible pledges

All right, let's go.

Mm-hmm.

[Inwoo] Sir.

Welcome.

I trust
Mister Oh's already explained everything?

Yes.

I'll admit,
we're not the best news outlet around.

A new reporter can't be greedy.

[Kim San] Hmm.

[knocks on door]

-[Doochill] Yes, come in.
-[Han Soo] Sir.

[Doochill]
Let's have you try on some clothes.

Take that jacket off. Here.

Hey, uh, wait. Don't you think
the pinstripes look fancier?

Huh? Do they?

[Kim San] I'll take that.

Does this make you look like
the heir to a big fortune?

-Wait, what? Why?
-[Doochill sighs]

[Kim San]
Try parting his hair on the other side.

[Doochill] The part is right
in the middle, it's... it's not on any side.

My God, would it k*ll you

-to wash your hair now and then?
-Hang on. Why... why are we doing this?

[Doochill] Here. Take this.

From this point on,

you're CEO Kim Kwangmin
of the Sanae Corporation.

Hey, don't you think
this makes him look like he's wealthy?

Yes, it's the colors. Huh.

You wait outside.

Why should I?

So he can get changed.

[Miss Kim] Where do I go?

Go get something from the bakery.

I don't like bread.

Just get out!

[Miss Kim] Okay.

God, she expects to be treated
like a princess, why do I pay her?

[Professor Hwang laughs]

[doorbell jingling]

[sighs]

[footsteps approaching]

[gasps]

He said to report back with these details.

Oh, right.

This is for you to buy yourself gukbap.

And this bread was mine.
Here, do you want it?

Here, take it. It's bread, enjoy it.

Would you like to share it?

We've got plenty more.

Enjoy.

[Doochill] All right, let's see.

Do I look good?

-[all exclaiming]
-[chuckles]

He looks like a different person.

-[Han Soo] Uh-huh.
-Would you look at that?

[chuckles]

[groans]
Why won't my hair lie flat?

[♪ jazz music playing]

I trust you've all seen
the payment request from Sanae Produce.

Yes. They'd like to be paid
in the form of flour moving forward.

[Doochill] I'll use Han Soo as bait
to get Pak Jiwook.

How? We'll transform Han Soo into

CEO Kim Kwangmin
from the Sanae Corporation.

Don't you think
this makes him look like he's wealthy?

[♪ jazz music continues playing]

Ah, where is he?
It's unlike him to be late for a meeting.

[Yeonchul] Well, uh, sir,
would you like another cup of tea?

[door opens]

-[cafe owner] Welcome.
-[Yeonchul] Hello! Yes, over here, hurry.

-[Han Soo] Hello, Mister Yoo.
-[Yeonchul] Hello.

-Introduce yourself.
-Yes.

-Good afternoon, sir.
-[Yeonchul] Good.

I'm Kim Kwangmin,
CEO of Sanae Corporation.

He's not just young, he's a child.

[chuckles awkwardly]

[Yeonchul] Yes, you're right,
he looks young.

Well, feel free to open the discussion.

-Right.
-[Yeonchul] Can we get him a coffee?

-[cafe owner] Coming up!
-[Yeonchul] Okay.

[Kim San] Now repeat after me.

The raw materials exporter has requested...

[Han Soo] "The raw materials..."

-[Kim San] Exporter... Okay.
-"Ex... exporter has requested..."

-"To receive it..."
-[Kim San] Mm-hmm.

-Receive what?
-"Payment."

-Okay. Again.
-[Han Soo] Uh...

-[Kim San] The market...
-"The market..."

-"Market value."
-[Han Soo] Market val...

-"Value." Yeah, that's good.
-[Kim San] Market value.

[sighs]
Mister Han Soo.

Are you... illiterate?

-[Kim San] Can you read or not?
-Don't talk down to me.

You little know-it-all.

In the process of exporting
the raw materials, we agreed...

to receive our payment
in the form of flour,

as per the exporter's request.

As per the exporter's request...

[Han Soo] "As per the exporter's request..."

-...we agreed...
-[Han Soo] "...we agreed..."

...to receive payment in the form of flour.

[Han Soo] "...to receive payment
in the form of flour."

-We want...
-"We want..."

-[Kim San] ...the flour...
-"...the flour..."

...to be transferred
at the official exchange rate.

What's an exchange rate again?

-[spits]
-[door opens]

[Han Soo] Uncle Sam.

This is way too hard.

He can't memorize two sentences.

You still haven't memorized it?
It's two sentences.

Here. Try it again, huh?

In the process of exporting
the raw materials, we agreed...

to receive payment in the form of flour,
as per the exporter's request.

But we want it transferred
at the official exchange rate,

-so we wanted to meet with you...
-What?

He's gonna say,
"But hang on, that would mean

that your profits
would increase fivefold."

-[Han Soo] It's...
-Christ, with the official exchange rate,

your profits will increase fivefold.

"The profits will increase fivefold."

-If that's the case...
-[Doochill] Yes.

If that's the case, we will...

So we'll give you 20% of the profit,
and build a bridge...

-a bridge in your district. Mm-hmm.
-We'll build a bridge in your district.

-A bridge?
-[both] Yes, sir.

-No, you could do that?
-Yes, of course, I can.

We'll give you whatever you want,
I promise you, sir.

[Doochill] If you tell Pak Jiwook that
you'll build a bridge in his district,

he'll take the bait.

Why's the export price
for the Sanae Corporation

-back on the table, huh?
-I'm not sure.

We agreed to their request
to receive payment in flour.

We worked out an agreement last time.

Let's make the Sanae Corporation payments

with the official exchange rate.

What did you say?

If we do that,
their profits will increase fivefold.

[assemblyman]
What on earth has gotten into you?

You dozed off during that meeting.

Let's take a short break, huh?

Why do you always stick your nose
in everything? Hmm?

Let's take a short break, I said.

[sighs]
What time is it?

Are you really gonna be difficult? Huh?

You didn't approve the payment extension
for Mankang Corporation.

All right, fine.
So I'll approve the extension.

I'll do it. You have my word, huh?

Really?

[chuckles]
Well then, that changes everything.

And you?

What if... I want to give Guin Foods
more of the cornmeal supply?

Well, all right, it's a deal.

[chuckles]
All right.

Then we're all in agreement
for Sanae Produce. Okay?

[Jiwook chuckles]
Okay.

[groans]

-It's been approved.
-Thank you, sir.

-[Jiwook] And the bridge?
-I've placed the order

with Daemyeon Construction.

It's all settled, sir.

-This kid!
-[Han Soo] Sir.

I like how you handle things.

[chuckles]

[Han Soo] Oh, it's not much,
but here's a gift for you.

Go ahead, open it up and take a look.

Why don't you put it
in the trunk, quietly?

Yes, sir,
I'll put it in the trunk quietly.

[♪ tense music playing]

[camera shutter clicking]

Sineui Alliance Charter

[Han Soo] We'll, uh...

We'll make sure it all gets done,

without any hitches, sir.

That's it, we're strangers again.

Of course.

-You head home.
-[Han Soo] Good evening, sir.

Take care of yourself, sir.

[car engine stars]

You think he pulled it off?

-Oh, uh, who knows?
-[door opens]

-[manager] I'm back.
-Oh, how did it go?

The official exchange rate
has been approved.

It has?

I did pretty well, didn't I?

Yes, you did. Well done!

-[Doochill] Hmm?
-[chuckles]

Han Soo,
we should prepare for the hearing now.

You don't wanna mess up
the witness statement.

-[Doochill] Right.
-There's more to memorize?

No, don't worry, it's not much.
You're a quick learner anyway.

What was inside that box there?

[Han Soo] Huh?

The wooden box inside his trunk.
What was it?

Sineui Alliance with a signature.

[Han Soo]
There was some kind of signature.

Kang Jinseong? Kang...

-Kang Seongmin!
-Kang Seongmin.

Their Code of Conduct.

You said you saw him burn it.

[manager] I'm sorry, sir.

Huh, so Pak Jiwook stole it,
that sneaky b*stard.

Is it important?

-Should I go get it?
-No, wait, wait.

[manager] What is it?

Are you sure
Kang Seongmin's signature was on it?

[Han Soo] Yeah.

I thought Pak Jiwook burned it all,
but it seems he kept this one.

Why would he have put this aside?

Yeah. Why would he keep it?

Hey, you just focus
on learning your lines.

No, wait, I'm curious, what is it? Why?

-Pak Jiwook...
-[Han Soo] Yes?

...plans to stab Kang Seongmin in the back.

-You get it?
-Why though?

Why don't we focus on this? Come here.

[♪ tense music playing]

Pak Jiwook...
[sighs]

[Kim San] Well done today.

-[Doochill] Good work.
-[Han Soo] Thank you, I'll see you later.

[♪ tense music continues playing]

Pak Jiwook has taken the bait.

Yeah.

Things will start
getting more complicated.

[Kim San breathes deeply]

As you gain more recognition,
people will start approaching you

and try to sway you.
Still, you have to refuse to be swayed.

Yes, I understand.

Kim San will be
the next Prime Minister of South Korea.

You must focus on that goal,
if we are ever to fulfill that dream.

I know.

If anybody tries to sway you,
then you must tell me right away.

[breathes deeply]

I won't be swayed.

[Doochill pats on Kim San's arm]

[♪ ominous music playing]

[♪ pensive music playing]

[young Doochill] Taemin.

Taemin, wake up.

Uncle, where are you going?

I'm off to Osaka.

I'll get rich and then I'll come back.

When will you come back?

[deep inhale]

Once I'm rich.

[♪ pensive music continues playing]

You must resent me a lot.

I do not resent anyone.

If I did, I would have left already.

Yeah. I'm sure you would have.

Who's he want dead now?

[telephone ringing]

[ringing continues]

[Taemin panting]

Look, I'm sorry.

Back then, I thought
he was showing his loyalty.

[panting]

[Taemin slams wall]

[Taemin] Kang Seongmin.

What are you planning to do with him?

I'll have to stop him
and end his political career.

He has to be stopped before
he even gets close to being President.

Go and get your freedom in Osaka.

[♪ pensive music continues playing]

I have evidence that...

Kang Seongmin was
an active member of the Sineui Alliance.

Cha Taemin...

are you gonna k*ll him?

[sighs]

[Kim San] Answer the question.

I will if necessary.

[♪ ominous tense music playing]

[♪ soft piano music playing]

[Kim San sighs]

Mister Kim!

-[Kim San] I'm sorry.
-I'm sorry. You're good.

What a pleasant surprise
that you happened to be at my door today.

I happened to be around.

[Rachael] Please come in.

Did you get here okay?

Yes, I did.

Would you like some?

Thank you, but I'm good.

-You don't like pizza?
-I do.

[Kim San] But I'm okay right now.

My brother, Michael, Mr. Kim.

[Rachael] Kim San, Michael.

-You guys know each other.
-We've met.

All right, so...

There are quite a few more companies
in the States

that are having discussions
about this partnership.

Everything's ready to move forward

as long as the Korean government
guarantees payment.

We have
eight other potential business partners

other than Petron Harvest.

That's great news.

I know. So many interested
business partners, but...

Such a crucial time,
and I don't think we're quite ready.

I feel the same.

But I wanna get this done.

The National Reconstruction Plan.

Do you think that it's actually possible?

[pensive sigh]

I don't know yet.

Do you think it's possible, Rachael?

No, I don't see it happening.

[door slides open]

[door slides close]

[♪ mysterious music playing]

Hwains Pomade

Congratulations on the bill.

Taemin has his eye on us.

Huh?

He's been... he's been watching us
this whole time.

Taemin is trying to k*ll me.

[nervous breathing]

k*ll him already.

I'm so afraid.

[Doochill] All right.

Listen, just try to keep calm.

Keep calm? Keep calm?

-I said Taemin is going to k*ll me!
-I know,

but I'm here to protect you.

He'll be easier for me to get
if he's near you.

I will catch Cha Taemin.

I can't sleep.

I swear I'm losing my mind.

Sir, you need to remember,
you're well on your way

to becoming the Prime Minister.
You need to stay resilient.


sprung into action at your behest.

That is no small feat! Huh?

[♪ tense music playing]

Taemin, he...

He must be dealt with quickly.

All right?

Even if it was possible,

I don't think
anybody has that kind of time.

We need the right business partner.

Mister Kim,

you are well acquainted
with General Choi, correct?

Yes, I am.

General Choi is in Room 806.

-Here?
-[Michael] Right now.

And?

And with the given circumstances,

I think General Choi is the perfect fit
as our business partner.

Don't you think?

[♪ tense pensive music playing]

[elevator dings]

Capital Defense Unit, Secret Bunker

[♪ tense pensive music continues playing]

[Doosik] Release him.

You all right?

This must come as a shock.

Sit down.

[♪ tense pensive music continues playing]

[♪ dramatic suspenseful music playing]

Good evening, sir.

Thank you for being here.

Thank you for having me.

Capital Defense Unit General Min Soochul.

My name is Kim San.

We have control of key units
around the capital.

We're putting our lives on the line.

I would like for you to come join us.

[♪ suspenseful music playing]

I can't bear to watch
our country collapse any further.

What do you say? Will you join us or not?

What is it that you want from me, General?

[Soochul]
We need someone in the Democratic Party.

The Albright Foundation
highly recommended you.

I am...

-planning to stage a coup d'état.
-General Choi.

Politics, economics, the military,

foreign affairs.

I'll need your insights
on all these matters.

Uh...

Capital Defense, the 3rd Marines,

the 55th Howitzers

and a squad of 30 from Army Headquarters.

Sir, that is nowhere near enough manpower
to pull this off.

[Hanrim]
There's a way we can make it work.

After the presidential election,

the President will head straight to
his villa in Jinhae.

When he does, we'll take him hostage
and declare martial law.

If we block all the main roads
leading to the capital,

we'll have a good chance of success.

[exhales deeply]

[♪ tense music playing]

It seemed like an airtight plan.

I'm sure it did.

There's nothing I detest more...

than idiots in power.

Once we gain control,

you, San, will be given
a very critical role.

Of all the fools in politics...

does anyone compare to you?

[Hanrim] You're the only competent man
in the Party.

[elevator dings]

[exhales deeply]

Did it go well?

I think so.

Thank you for asking.

You won't tell anyone, will you?

I'll have what she's having.

You don't have to answer.

[♪ smooth jazz music playing]

[♪ suspenseful music playing]

[car honking]

[♪ music intensifying]

[♪ music drops]

[sighs]

[Hyunseok] So did you...

keep what they told you
a secret from Samsik?

No, I didn't.

[Kim San] What are you doing here?

-Where have you been, huh?
-[sighs]

I met with General Choi Hanrim just now.

He's planning to carry out a coup d'état.

You told him everything?

Yeah.

[Hyunseok] Why?

I really can't explain it.

Why I said what I said,
or why I did what I did.

I really don't know.

Using the Capital Defense Unit
to block all roads into the capital?

It does sound feasible.

[Doochill chuckles]

The stars are aligning for you.
Things are playing out in your favor.

I happen to have made alliances
within Capital Defense.

Not that I anticipated this.

I guess we can just be grateful
it's all falling into place.

You must think I'm a traitor, don't you?

Aren't you though?

What do you really think of me?

You think I'm a dirtbag general.

A dirtbag general
who uses and discards you.

You think I don't know
how you guys see me?

What do you mean by that?

I've already explained it to you.

I will use Han Soo as bait
to get to Pak Jiwook.

You're honestly going to use
Assemblyman Pak to get to General Choi?

Yeah.

That's the way things work in this world.

[Doochill] Hmm.

There are two things that determine
the direction of a person's life.

Your nature, how you're born,
and nurture, how you're raised.

You can't escape these two factors.

You'll ask, "Why did I act that way?"

"Why did I say all those things?"

The answer comes down to those factors.

It's your nature and your nurture.

What is the nature of General Choi?

He's an honorable and upstanding person.

It's in his nature to see everything
as either right or wrong.

People like him haven't the slightest clue

about the kind of atrocities
other people are capable of.

What about nurture?

He has been nurtured
by admiration his whole life.

People do admire him though.

That is why he can't possibly imagine
a version of himself

that isn't showered with admiration.

So then what could he do
that would cost him that praise?

[sighs]

I'm not sure.

Have suspicions of Kim San.

He will end up leaving the military
because of that.

At which point we'll take
his well-crafted plan for ourselves.

He has a completely different perspective
of the world.

When someone has an impeccable plan...

it's normal to feel threatened.

But with Samsik...

he decides to steal that plan.

From now on,
you're never to leave his side.

Why not?

Because Choi Hanrim's weakness
is you, Kim San.

[♪ eerie music playing]

Why did I do what I did?

Why did I say what I said?

I should have never
let him leave like that.

[chuckles]

[sighs]
