Flames of Desire (Flames of Ambition / Yokmangeui Bulkkot / 욕망의 불꽃)

Flames Of Ambition

Episode 4

In twenty years, Kim Youngmin will inherit the company from his father.

And in another twenty, I guess it'll be his son's turn to lead it.

You'll have to wait until then.

After all, your own son will eventually become chairman of Atlantic Group.

And by then you'll still be his birth mother.

And if the child turns to be a girl?

Guess we'll have a female chairman, then.

Leave it there.

I prefer it that way.

Don't try to force changes on me, I said I prefer it this way!

We'll have to live here together for the time being.

In this small place.

I want my things to always be at hand.

It's a bad habit, get rid of it.

We'll have a child in six months.

You can't raise a kid in this environment, can you?

So change your habits while you still can.

Did you meet her?

What did you do to Yang Insuk?

Whomever gives birth to it, that child is mine.

And yours as well.

I asked you what you did to her!

Unless you want to make that child illegitimate,

I suggest you start listening to me.

Illegitimate?!

I called your father.

And told him I'm pregnant.

I will raise it.

As my child.

Hey man, you want some crack?

Hey! Hey man...

Want some crack?

Who are you looking for?

By any chance, you know a Yang Insuk?

So you're... Kim Youngmin?

Yes.

Stop bothering my sister.

I need to talk to her.

A moment will...

Just go back.

She said she'll stay with her cousin in Miami, for the time being.

Miami?!

She only told me that she'd go there, it's all I know.

Wait a moment!

Look!

Think I'm having a conversation because you're charming the hell out of me?

Aren't you the prick who ruined my sister?

Unless you want a hole in your head, don't ever show up here again.

Is he gone?

Aigoo... Get yourself some help.

How long will it take you to clean up this mess?

I'm just taking my time.

The roof doesn't leak anymore, does it?

My husband said not to worry since he fixed it.

Have you given it a thought?

Jeongsuk, you don't need to move a finger.

My husband and I can take care of the restaurant.

I'll give it some more thought.

How are you going to make a living?

I've heard you quit at the hospital.

Who ever asked for it free of charge?

We'll pay you rent and share the profits.

But getting rid of the ironworks shop is just...

That's why.

Aigoo, it's not going to make you a penny here.

Isn't that the reason why your father moved to the city?

And let's suppose you do reopen it, who's going to do the work?

Will you do that?

I'll first finish cleaning up here, and then we can discuss it again.

What are you, still waiting for Kang Jungu?

He's not coming out!

He stabbed three people to death!

Aigoo...

This trap here...

Look at Nayoung, getting married and doing fine...

Aigoo...

This damned... trap...

I bought some clothes to wear in the States.

Got a few for you as well.

Take care, goodbye.

Right... I'm not going to apologize.

Since I can't erase you from my memories as well.

Live well.

At least you should find some happiness.

Forgot the keys.

Youngmin.

Should I just go back to Seoul?

That's what you wish for, right?

I'll just go back, and tell them I can't live with you.

If you don't like me, what else can I do?

I can't even look myself in the mirror anymore.

But who do I have left?

After my father passed away, and what happened to my sister,

where else could I go?

I'm not going to have children.

I'd never be able to raise them as my own anyway.

Let's promise.

Not to have children.

Time to go now, right?

Right? You'll give it to me, right?

Aigoo... Look at her.

Just a look at you and she smiles.

You're that happy?

Does this ajumma look like Mommy?

Would you like to hold her?

If you like her, I suggest you hurry.

A pretty kid like her will make Americans go crazy.

Can't you wait a couple of months?

You still haven't convinced your husband?

It's not that...

If it's just that, I could certainly wait.

Thank you.

Bye-bye...

Say it. Bye-bye.

What's wrong with you?

Say Bye-bye to her.

Bangeojin Raw Fish House -

How can you waste an entire day on that damned door?

If we called a carpenter, it'd have been done in a minute.

Does money fall from the sky?

Are you busy enough to waste money on a carpenter?

Aigoo! Must be heavy.

You brat, like that's heavy. Who are you trying to fool?

Ahh... Sis.

Blame my slender figure if I can't carry heavy loads.

Aigoo...

Keep shaking your ass like that, will you?

You'll fart all the way to the counter.

Take a look.

Looks quite decent after a touch here and there, doesn't it?

It looks nice.

Poor people like us should rely on each other.

What's that old cuss doing in there?

And he still isn't done with the damned door.

Dad.

Nayoung got pregnant right after marriage.

Her belly is already this big.

Gently... Do it gently.

Careful... Careful.

What's wrong?

Slowly... All right?

Do it slowly.

I'll hold you from behind.

She'll soon give birth, shouldn't you find yourself a house?

We're moving next month.

We found a nice and cheap little condo in New Jersey.

If you're moving to New Jersey, won't it be a tad far from school?

The baby comes first.

If you had told me you were coming...

I had some business to tend to in Washington, so I thought I'd come by.

Youngmin.

Why don't you take your brother out for lunch?

I wish I could join you, but...

No, I'm leaving today.

You're not even sleeping over?

My father urged me to check on how you were doing, that's all.

They say it's a boy.

They can tell in advance with an ultrasound scan here.

I'll go check the laundry.

How much longer do you plan to stay?

After my doctorate is done I'll gain some experience at the research center,

so I guess another ten years?

I'm sure Dad won't approve.

I might even decide to get it over with and just live here.

Why?

Just feel that only trouble would be waiting for me in Seoul.

What could possibly trouble you?

There's plenty of work waiting for you there.

So don't stay here too long, and come back.

Need to help Dad, right?

He's got you, not to mention Youngdae Hyung.

Ahh... Right.

We've got a new sister.

A sister?!

Dad finally brought home one of the children he'd been hiding.

All we heard over the years were rumors.

By the way, your wife defied my expectations.

Are you looking at monkeys at the zoo or something?

What are you all staring at?

How could we not?

No matter where you stare, she looks nothing like you.

Guess your mother was a beauty.

Yes.

If she was a night club madam, how could it be otherwise?!

Mother, you're going too far.

It wasn't a night club.

She ran the biggest traditional restaurant in Insa-Dong.

Is that so?!

Ahh... Really...

*younger sister-in-law

Agasshi*, so I guess you must be a good cook?

Good for you.

Now you can leave the chores to her and enjoy some time for yourself.

When did I ever do the chores?

She always takes care of everything by herself.

I'll only let it slide this once, Chairman.

Aigoo... Look at me.

Shot some photos of Youngmin's wife.
