EPISODE 12

You punk. Are you Hong Gil-dong or what? You're everywhere.

Do I remind you of him?

What an honor. I respect him a lot.

Fine.

How have you been? You haven't been in touch.

Thanks to you,

I've been well.

I have something to ask you.

Fire away.

Are you the one who got Cha Joo-eun a job at UI?

CHA JOO-EUN

I was informed that we were hiring a pretty good actress.

And I did give a green light on that.

Why?

What do you mean?

Why did you set up such a play?

Bye, then.

A play?

A play, I see.

Fine. Hand the case over to UI and get your hands off it.

Don't you know I'm doing this because I care about you?

Didn't I tell you not to get involved with her?

I'm sorry, sir.

Then you brought this upon yourself.

Sir.

Please help me.

How could I help you this time around?

I need you to give me something to work with

so I can connect the dots.

Sure. It was a play.

Then, why did I make sure you fell for that?

You know, it's such a hassle.

It was for you.

Here's a thing about food.

We can put up with bland food.

But we can't eat it if it's too salty.

It's the same with people. Plain is the best.

In our world, there's a way we do things.

But some people go overboard and start sprinkling spices on everything.

Things get too salty, and the food becomes inedible.

What choice do I have?

I ought to take the spice away from them

before they spoil the food.

Are you saying I used my spices too much?

-You did have a heavy hand. -Then,

where should I have stopped?

My instructions and my orders

Didn't you know that they make the best recipe?

Let me ask you something too.

Why did you do it?

Why did you disobey my order?

You took Jeong Yoon-kyung

and promised Cha Joo-eun a future when she could betray you any minute.

On top of that, you stole the ledger, the best spice of all.

This is definitely worth my time because we're having an honest conversation.

So, what can I do for you?

And what should you do for you to be forgiven for what you did?

Fine.

Despite everything that's happened, since I like you…

Since I care about you, I will give you one last chance.

Listen carefully.

Get rid of everyone who's involved in this incident, including Cha Joo-eun.

Take care of them yourself.

If you do that, you can come back to GK.

Won't it be a shame if it all ends here?

Jeong-hwan.

Think about how hard you've tried to endure

and stay in the game since I saw you for the first time at the orphanage.

Just think about it.

This is my last gift for you.

Tae-joo, come eat.

Okay, ma'am!

It's pork cutlet today!

THE BROTHERS KARAMAZOV

If I can't…

If I miss this chance,

will you kill me again?

Let me ask you one last time.

Was it you who gave the orders

to kill me?

I was only following the rules of GK.

I see.

Take care

of yourself, mister.

-You two go that way. The rest, with me. -Yes, sir.

SPECIAL DISCOUNT

This one's on special, right?

Not this one.

Why not?

-It said so there. -No idea.

Go check again.

-Can't you just do it? -Sorry.

That's what it said. You should go look. I'm serious.

Can't I take one more?

No.

Then, how much is it without this?

It's 11,400 won.

I'm sorry.

Joo-eun.

I'm sorry. Please take them.

-Shall we go eat? -No.

How about soju, then?

Shall we?

Thank you.

-Then, be good to me. -Okay.

Jeong-hwan.

Did the meeting go well?

Yes.

-Joo-eun. -Yes?

There's a place I want to go with you.

Now?

Yes. Now.

Where?

It looked so big when I was young.

But it looks so small now.

I'm sorry I lied to you.

I want to see how you looked

when you were young.

I bet you never listened to your teachers,

always goofed around, told lies, and put your teachers through hell.

No. I was a nice kid.

Gosh, you can't fool me.

I bet you made everyone mad.

-Wait, that was-- -But I bet you were still cute.

I bet you cried when you got spanked.

and smiled like an innocent boy when people gave you treats.

I would like to meet the boy Jeong-hwan.

In retrospect, it was ridiculous, but when I was young,

I wished for a little sister.

I'd pray for a little sister before going to bed every night.

Your prayer did come true. Gosh, what a lucky prayer.

You have a cute little sister right here.

A good wife who even acts like your big sister at times.

I can be three things at once. You hit the jackpot.

I've never considered you my big sister.

We're close, see eye to eye, and rely on each other.

If I buy you meals every now and then, I'd be a pretty good older sister.

Age doesn't matter. It's how mentally mature you are that counts.

Is your brain in your 40s or something?

Gosh, I'm hungry.

Buy me a meal, big brother. Please?

Jeong-hwan, please buy me a meal.

Well, what do you want to eat, Joo-eun?

Gosh, let's go. I'm really getting hungry.

What should we eat?

Pizza and makgeolli?

-This is it. -Gosh, it's been so long.

-Right? -Yes.

Shall we go inside?

Hello.

Do you remember that table?

Of course.

I really wanted to come back here.

It feels great to be back here.

Is something wrong?

-Joo-eun. -Yes?

Why don't you go abroad for a while?

What? All of a sudden? Why?

I'll work on finding a ticket.

Come back after the dust settles.

No. I won't leave.

It's dangerous here. And things might go wrong, too.

I've given it some thought,

and I don't think this is right.

-You don't want me by your side? -No, it's not that.

I'm going to stay by your side.

We went through a lot to be reunited. I don't want to leave your side again.

Don't worry.

I'm an ex-con, you know.

You know that my life has never been easy.

Jeong-hwan.

You have the ledger, right?

President Choi's secret ledger.

Joo-eun.

How do you know that?

That's what got you into this mess.

Can you show it to me?

No.

-I can't do that. -Why not?

Once you see the ledger,

those whose names are in it will also want to see you.

I can't let that happen.

It doesn't matter if I see it or not. As long as I stay with you,

they will assume that I did.

And I am going to stay by your side.

How about some chili with pajeon?

Good choice. Pajeon is the best.

You know, pajeon tastes

the best with chilli.

Pajeon is the best, isn't it?

-Ma'am, pajeon, please. -Sure.

-And makgeolli, too. -You got it.

KWON HYUK-JANG

LEDGER

I see. Then let's schedule it for the 25th.

Yes, I got it. Okay.

Sir.
