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

Flames Of Ambition

Episode 9

You better take responsibility.

If anything goes wrong, my father will have me killed.

Right... Let me introduce you someone.

Nayoung, come here.

You know, right?

My brother-in-law's...

Professor Kim's?

She's Kim Youngmin's wife.

Aigoo.... You're such a beauty!

Say Hi. He's Park Deokseong.

His father is one the biggest shots in town, Park Sundol.

It's a pleasure to meet you.

How are you?

My name is Yoon Nayoung.

You still don't get it?

I'm busy as hell, how many times do I have to repeat myself?

Follow me.

I didn't push for that shareholder's meeting just to change the executive.

I want the very structure of the group to be changed at the core.

You still don't understand?

I really don't know much about shares and all that stuff.

I'll be damned...

You know that Youngdae has been acting as interim chairman ever since Father collapsed.

And if anything should happen to him, his position will become official.

Wasn't your husband going to become chairman if that happened?

That's that.

Ahh....

Anyhow, no need to bother with the details.

You wouldn't understand anyway.

Yes, I really have no interest in all that.

You have some shares yourself, right?

And Minjae should have some as well.

Anyhow, gather them and entrust them all to me.

Did I have shares, too?

You know that the chairman distributed them a few years ago.

I really had no idea.

Study economics a little, will you?

If you want to become a proper chaebol's wife.

Madam Nam.

You seem busy, so I'll come again.

We're done here.

I have important business to discuss with Director Park,

so see you later.

Aeri.

What?

- You said you'd give me a painting. - Ahh... The painting?

Miss Lee.

Yes, Curator.

Go help her choose a painting.

This way, please.

Yes.

You know Lawyer Hong, right?

I'll bring you those Central Shipbuilding drafts I talked about.

So let's only verify one thing.

I told you I'll buy all of them back within a month.

I still live in my old man's shadows.

You can't imagine how much he suspects every little thing.

How did he manage to make all that money with that personality of his?

Who said he did? He suddenly hit the jackpot.

Every time he moved bus terminals the price of land skyrocketed,

so he basically hit the jackpot while doing nothing.

And have you forgotten how dealing with loan sharks was back then?

His wallet just started to get so bloated...

I really...

And I brag about money with a chaebol?!

- So she's your sister-in-law? - Why?

Did she arouse your curiosity?

What clan does she come from?

Clan?!

I wonder if senility was already knocking at the door.

He turned some hick from Ulsan into his daughter-in-law.

I'm sure he saw something that convinced him.

Then again, she took a huge load off my shoulders.

And now she put some pressure on my older sister-in-law as well.

Considering her background, she'll be busy hanging from my lips.

Ehh... That's exactly the kind of people who would stab you in the back.

The way I see it, she's no laughing matter?!

Think she'll just play along?

Like I would care if she does or not...

So it's a promise. Those drafts.

A verbal one?!

Seal this for me, will you?

What's that?

My father asked for it.

If those drafts bounce and they go bust,

you'll have to pay them back instead.

I will.

Is she gone?

Yes...

She said that since you looked busy, she'd just go for today.

Did she pick her painting?

That...

What?

She said there was nothing to her liking.

That crazy hick...

Does she even know who painted these?

Thank you.

I'll get going.

Miss Lee.

Spread some salt around.

That prick is just bad luck...

If you didn't bring your car, care for a lift?

And since we're there, we could also have a cup of tea.

[*but could also be interpreted as "leave the tea out of it and come"] Go get the car*.

Say what?

I said go get the car.

Ahh... The car.

Except for my father-in-law's shares, they're all under my control now.

- Where are you now? - Heading for the Blue House.

I'll have to pave the way in advance.

Meet the head of the economic council and all.

Dad. We must end it all in one strike.

And push Father out of the picture for good.

If he really loses it, you never know where the ball might end up!

We need to grab it while we still can.

All right, I get it.

Let's do it.

Dad. Don't trust Youngjun.

Leave it to him, and his older brother will take it away under his nose.

That insidious snake.

Wow... How could I be even more nervous?

The moment I saw you at the gallery,

I was so surprised I almost fell on my behind.

Is that so?

Trying to make fun of me?

Was just wondering if you still recall playing with fire when you were little...

Wow... You've gotten prettier?! More sophisticated and all.

But didn't they say women can never forget their first love?

First love?!

So that's why you waited for me outside.

Mister Park Deokseong.

All I was waiting for was to see if you'd settle your old debts.

Aigoo... You could have told me.

Now that's more like you.

What's going on between you and Nam Aeri?

Pestered her a little back in college, I guess.

- And now? - Business partner.

Will you help me out just this once?

Actually, I have no debts to settle with Yoon Nayoung?!

It's not like your feelings were sincere.

Because, let's be honest.

You didn't really like me, you only wanted my money.

What else would I find to like about you, then?

Other than the fact you're the son of a bus company's owner, what else?

So you've finally gained what you wanted, and even became a chaebol's wife.

So will you help me or not?

Let's hear it, then.

You promised you'd buy those Central Shipbuilding drafts for Nam Aeri, right?

It's good business.

I'll make it even better for you.

Now that's more like it...

Aigoo... Would Yoon Nayoung ever change?!

But, shouldn't we turn the tables now?

Shouldn't you be on your knees begging me to spare you by now?

What if I just confess everything about you?

Isn't it harder for men to live with their in-laws?

Forgot what kind of man my father-in-law is?

I know all too well that all your private lending shenanigans are funded by him.

So have you been spending all these years digging info about me?

Wow... How freaking scary.

Wanted some payback?

How do you think I got here?

Think it was in any way smooth?

Then, would I be afraid of doing anything?

Look how she creeps up on you with her scare tactics.

So I'll consider that a yes.

Hey... Sit down a minute.

Back then, you were pregnant, right?

Are you that curious?

It's the only weak spot I could blackmail you with?!

That child died.

The moment I gave birth to it.

Just think you're paying for what you did to that child.

You're still here?

Something came up nearby, so I left the car here,

since I couldn't find anywhere else to park it. Sorry.

Sorry for what? There's so much parking space here.

Anytime you have business nearby, just leave the car here.

I will.

And since you're here, go get your painting.

Before I change my mind.

Yes, I will.

Did I hurt you?

No... I got distracted thinking.

I surprised you, didn't I?

Go get your painting.

Yes.

I can't really figure her out.

I'm heading your way right now.

Is Mijin there as well?

Just call it bad luck and get it over with.

Then you can just start anew, I'll help you every step of the way.

Are we clear, Nayoung?

It was you, wasn't it?

You nasty son of a bitch.

Think I'll just take this lying down?

And the baby?

Is it dead or alive?
