(Episode 9)
We meet again.
It's true that a criminal always returns to the crime scene.
What is it?
Were you afraid that you left an evidence?
It was you.
The text message about my tattoo.
So were you scared?
You were admitted to the hospital.
You even came all the way here.
You and I both...
could be the victims.
You wouldn't believe that, would you?
Are you kidding me?
I didn't come here to check the crime scene.
That day...
I really don't remember what happened that day.
I just remembered what Lee Ji Young did.
What was in there?
Why did she open that door?
I was curious about that. That's why I came back.
Darn it.
Why are you so happy?
There's someone I like.
I think she likes me too.
She gave this to me as a gift.
Really?
This is something, isn't it?
Well, I'm not sure.
Why is this...
This is Kyung Soo's.
Ji Young!
Ji Young...
Be quiet!
- Let me go. It wasn't me! - Be quiet.
I saw it. I saw it.
- I saw it. It wasn't me. - Stay still.
It wasn't me.
I wasn't mistaken.
I saw Kyung Soo.
He was here.
Yes, Ha Neul?
Why are you calling at this hour?
I'm in Busan right now.
Busan?
Why did you go there at this hour?
I needed to check something.
That's not important right now.
Jinu is passed out in the car.
I think he was in an accident and can't drive.
What?
I don't know...
whether to call 911 or that punk's manager.
Just come back.
If the manager could've gone, I'm sure he'd be with him.
- I'll go down, so come up. - Don't come.
Why would Entertainer Band's manager come here?
What's your insurance company?
Forget it. Go!
Is it better for the police to come...
or for your insurance agent to come and handle this?
Shoot!
I have no desire to help you.
I'm only doing this because it may hurt Suk Ho,
so put down your pride and give me your insurance company's number.
We'll bring the car to a garage and then contact you.
Thank you.
Hi, Suk Ho.
I'm bringing him now.
I called to tell you not to worry.
We're in a cab.
Come to Mango.
I'll take it from there.
Are you okay?
I'll see you later.
Okay.
Thanks.
Thank you.
I'll wait inside.
Let's talk later.
Let's go back to the hospital.
I can go alone.
Your face screams "patient".
Stop being stubborn.
Why did you go there?
I told you to turn yourself in if it bothered you so much.
It may sound cold to you,
but I must clear Ha Neul's name.
I won't deny that it is partly because he is Jo Ha Neul,
and he is my singer. However,
someone's life is at stake here.
Suk Ho.
Ha Neul...
called you "Suk Ho".
How did we end up this way, Suk Ho?
When did you come in?
Just now.
Have you eaten?
I'll eat when I'm actually awake.
How long have you known that it was Jinu?
Do you remember...
when I came to Seoul before you disappeared?
That's how long you knew?
Back then,
I only knew it was one of the Jackson members.
I figured you must be torn between me and Jackson,
and that you probably need some time.
When our first radio show was cancelled,
I saw the tattoo on Jinu's neck. That's when I knew...
that Jinu...
was the culprit.
I remembered...
the tattoo I saw on the culprit just before I passed out.
Then...
why didn't you say anything then?
The person Shin Suk Ho...
knew Jinu was the culprit...
but is determined to clear my name.
I imagined how difficult it must have been to decide to do that.
"Let's play dumb."
"If he knows that I know,"
"he will be so embarrassed and upset."
Clearing my name means...
Jinu getting destroyed.
Suk Ho,
will you be okay?
That's a completely different issue.
Sure,
I care about Jinu, too.
But I can't let you live...
as an ex-convict when you did nothing wrong.
I have a favour to ask.
Geu Rin doesn't know anything.
I don't want her to know until everything has been resolved.
She's been hurt enough.
Okay. Let's do that.
Let's make sure Geu Rin and the others don't know.
Once it's been resolved, they'll find out anyway.
Ha Neul.
Sung Hyun's little brother...
is my little brother.
You are my singer...
and my little brother.
- May I hug you? - No.
How childish.
How about shaking hands?
I'm hungry.
You're so cold. Wash up.
Set the table.
You didn't want to shake hands.
I don't want to either.
Help me up.
I'm tired from sitting in the car for so long.
Why you...
Come on.
Hello. We're Entertainer Band.
Here. Hello.
Hello. We're Entertainer Band.
Thank you.
Hello. We're Entertainer Band. Have some of this.
Oh my gosh.
Hello.
I'm a huge fan.
I sent you so many stories to your radio show, but you never read it.
But I still like you.
Thank you.
I'm your fan, but I am also the manager of Entertainer Band.
Please play their songs on your show.
- Sure. - Thank you. We'll be going our way.
Okay.
Wow. I wish I could do that too.
I'm sorry. Please move out of the way.
Is she really a manager?
I think she's lying. I think she's just taking a tour of the building.
She is Entertainer Band's manager.
They seem to pick just anyone these days.
These new managers are not qualified for the work.
They're from the countryside. They know better about raising cows.
I think she used to raise cows in Busan.
Isn't Busan more developed than where you're from?
Where did you say you're from again?
I'll get you an iced americano.
That's amazing.
What should I do?
I've worked at a convenience store for 2 years and 3 months.
You're saying if I play that music at the busiest hours...
when the students are around, you'll work for two hours a day for free?
That's right. It's a good deal for you.
That's good.
(Entertainer Band)
I gave it a lot of thought.
It can't get any messier than this.
There isn't a member that doesn't make trouble, except for me.
An ex-convict,
a single dad,
and a mother's boy.
I thought you gave it a lot of thought. You never change,
do you, Lee Bang Geul?
Lee Bang Geul?
Hey.
You're the one who told Jae Hoon about Geu Rin.
I told you, that's just sharing information between members.
It's the same for me.
Kyle's real name is Lee Bang Geul.
Lee Bang Geul?
Lee Bang Geul.
Your name...
is so different.
It's childish to make fun of names.
I'm saying, it's a good name.
It's completely different from your personality.
It would be nice if you were as smiley as your name.
This isn't the point right now.
I told you, your name is nice.
- It's the personality that's bad. - That's the same thing.
What are we going to do about our drummer?
I gave up all my pride for us to get some attention,
then we should be performing. But our drummer is grounded.
Do you think Jae Hoon can come back?
There is only one way.
- What is it? - Let's steal him out.
Do you mean kidnap him?
Gosh.
We're not done. Where are you going?
If kidnapping is the main topic, I'm out.
Kyle, let's smile.
This belongs to Lee Kyung Soo, Lee Ji Young's brother?
I didn't tell you because I wasn't sure.
Now that I look at it, I think it's Kyung Soo's.
I thought I saw him when I was being dragged out.
I thought I was just seeing things.
This doesn't make sense.
Do you think maybe she asked him to record the whole thing?
Kyung Soo is a good kid.
Why would she...
Can I keep this?
What do you plan on doing?
I'll ask her with this.
We'll see how long Ji Young can keep up with her lies.
Also, the members are worried about what will happen to Jae Hoon.
Don't worry.
Just like how you can't give up singing, he won't be able to either.
Gosh.
Oh gosh.
Thanks to the tight security, this was the only way.
I'm sorry.
Did you talk to your mum?
Yes.
She's still against it.
I knew it.
I came to check something.
- Check what? - Entertainer Band.
Are you quitting now?
Or do you want to do it but you can't?
No one would have noticed,
because I didn't either.
While I was in Entertainer Band,
I really enjoyed it.
I realised that life could be fun...
and that there are different ways to enjoy it.
Okay.
What does your dad do?
I'm looking for Seo Jae Hoon's father.
Jae Hoon?
He's my son.
I see.
Hello.
Does Jae Hoon enjoy being in the band?
Yes. He says he realised that life could be fun.
No matter what he says, Jae Hoon tends to be so mature.
His mum would never allow it.
It's because of me.
I guess you're not that into music.
Bands are great.
That's not the point.
I started business after graduating from a small college.
His mum and I started off in a basement bachelor flat.
- I see. - I think...
we've done quite well, but she doesn't seem to think so.
Even if we have money, she's more concerned about education.
Making Jae Hoon study was her everything.
We had countless fights because of how he should be educated.
Jae Hoon must be a good boy.
Even if his mum tells him to, he could easily go against her.
He's a good kid.
He hardly shows anything.
But even during preschool,
he never smiled in a picture.
- Yes. - This is Detective Yoo...
calling again from Seocho Central Prosecutor's office.
You can probably tell that it's a fake ID.
Since you're a professional, you probably know it well.
This happens often with fans when a new song is released.
It's not like this only happened with Jackson.
100,000 dollars to put them in the top 10 for 2 weeks,
and 300,000 to 500,000 dollars to keep the song...
in the top 5 for 2 weeks.
How much did you pay...
Mr Kim, the broker?
You know the company would never pay for such bad deeds.
It seems like you're trying to blame me and my love for work.
I guess I have no choice but to show you how poor I am.
Take a look.
I have never had over 30 or 40 grand in my bank account.
If I loved my work so much to sell my house for Jackson,
why would I plan to bring them out with me?
You're good with your words,
aren't you?
We'll see.
I wonder if you can still smooth talk with Mr Kim here.
Right.
Do you know that a bill is being prepared...
because of the article about you last time?
It'll soon get passed.
You'll be the first one to be detained.
Be prepared.
Take care of yourself.
What is it? Are there bones?
- Let me see. - Among my friends,
I'm the only one whose mum...
removes the fish bones for him.
I'll be upset if you interpret my love for you that way.
How will you see me enlist in the army?
What are you trying to say?
You can't be with me at the army.
I'm just worried.
How will you send me off?
Look at you.
You came back all weird.
Look what hanging out with those lowly life kids did to you.
Are you being sarcastic with me?
Mum, I'm...
I'm...
just trying to talk to you.
I'm telling you my thoughts.
But you say I'm defying you,
talking back to you...
and now,
you say I'm being sarcastic.
Stop eating if you don't have much appetite.
I don't want you having a stomach ache.
I want to play drums.
Jae Hoon.
- Do you want to see me die? - What kind of son would want that?
Jae Hoon... You...
What did you just say?
I did everything you wanted me to do.
Study, study and study.
What are drums to you?
The only fun thing.
Fine.
If my son likes it, I'll let him play.
Let's find a good practising studio.
You can go play there whenever you get stressed.
That's not a difficult request to ask your mum.
You didn't have to join those bums.
Mum!
I made friends.
I want to play drums...
with the friends I like.
Jae Hoon.
Since the time...
I had you at 23 until now,
I had no friends.
Why?
Because raising you well was my pride...
and joy.
Do I have to live like that,
without a friend to have a good laugh with?
- Do I have to live like that? - People have league of their own.
There are different levels of classes. What would you know?
Stop with the class talk.
Jae Hoon and I are going crazy because of your "class".
What is it, Dad?
Be quiet. You might wake your mum.
What are you doing?
You should...
pack your books.
You need to study even when you play drums for you to have a say.
Do you want me to run away from home?
You should do what you want for once.
You're 20 now.
I know you studied hard to stop me and your mum from fighting.
Mum will live her life, I will live mine.
You should live your life.
Pack up.
Pack up, quickly.
- Dad. - Yes?
I thought about running away too.
But if I do this,
what will mum do?
I only studied for the 20 years of my life.
Mum too, only had me for that time.
If I do this, her life will be empty.
Won't you regret this?
In exchange for playing our songs, you worked for free. Is that it?
Yes, I did what I do best.
They said the songs were really great.
Some even knew they were Entertainer Band's songs.
You must've worked hard all day.
But that wasn't a very good strategy.
It means we need to find effective ways to promote the band.
You can't go around all the middle schools and high schools.
We need to get a hold of the media, whether it's radio or TV.
I guess you're right.
Still, what you did was admirable.
You ran around acting your part as the manager.
Good job.
Sir, what about Jae Hoon?
I think I need to go see his mum tomorrow.
Will she meet with you?
I'll have to barge in.
It's time for you to show off your driving skills.
- Are you ready? - Of course!
Well,
it feels like we're getting forgotten as we made our debut.
We're not on TV, and we're not doing any variety shows.
Shall we do some busking on our own?
We need Jae Hoon to do anything.
Manager, aren't we doing anything?
People will think we're not celebrities.
Have you met Jae Hoon?
Starting tomorrow, we'll target Jae Hoon's mum.
You can count on me.
I want Jae Hoon to come back. I also want to perform.
Why don't we have any event?
An event...
Miss Cheongyang Chilli Contest.
This won't go with the band's image.
Gwangju Jazz Festival.
This is good.
Gwangju...
Jazz Festival.
Cheongdo Bullfighting Festival.
No.
Jeju Island will be too expensive to fly to.
I wish I can get just one awesome event.
(Gwangju Jazz Festival)
What is she doing still up?
Why does she sleep like this?
Jeong Geu Rin.
Let's get you to bed.
Get up.
There.
(Hair Salon)
Did you go shopping?
I dressed up to please Jae Hoon's mum.
You don't look fancy. Don't you have nice clothes?
Are you criticising my fashion style? That's upsetting.
Don't you just feel so good whenever you see me?
My personality...
makes you feel dumfounded...
and at the same time, it blows away your stress. Right?
Jeong Geu Rin's personality...
makes people get angry...
and makes people stressed, resulting fatigue.
Don't you agree?
Hey.
Are we "Men in Black"?
Why are you wearing sunglasses?
We're tailing her. What if she notices us?
She'll notice us more. Take them off.
You take yours off. Drivers need sunglasses.
I've driven too.
New drivers always act...
Then you can drive.
Fine. Let's see in three months.
Once I grab the steering wheel,
I'll grab you as well.
There she is.
- Get ready to go. - Okay.
You're on neutral.
Wait here.
I'll go meet with the queen.
Mr Shin.
Good luck!
Take off your sunglasses.
Good luck.
Excuse me.
That looks like the ocean by Jeju.
It really does.
Who are you?
You're Jae Hoon's mother, correct?
(Shin Suk Ho)
My class...
will begin soon.
Won't you be a nuisance to the others?
I can't do that.
Enjoy your class.
I'll wait.
He's handsome. Who is he?
He is Jae Hoon's music teacher.
I fired him because he wasn't very good, but he came back.
Go ahead without me.
The agency is new, correct?
- That's correct. - What are the agency's assets?
I can't quite understand the reason for these questions.
I'm sorry, but what do you...
Ever since he was four, he began receiving tutoring.
During the four years before starting elementary school,
an English-medium kindergarten and sports and arts lessons...
added up to 2,000 per month.
When he was in middle school and high school,
it became exactly double, with his private tutoring.
I think it cost about 10,000 per month.
Naturally, I sent him abroad to study foreign languages...
during every school vacation.
I think it cost about...
1.2 million dollars in total leading up to college.
Why do I ask what are your agency's assets?
I spent over 1.2 million dollars on my son.
I can't let him stay with the vulgar Entertainment Band.
You seem to understand, so I'll go now.
I need to pick up Jae Hoon.
1.2 million dollars?
I don't have that.
I wish Mango Entertainment had that much assets.
Jae Hoon's life...
is worth 1.2 million dollars.
Do you get it now?
Don't show up in front of Jae Hoon...
or me.
Let me ask you one thing.
Then how much...
is Jae Hoon's dream worth?
Thank you for your time.
I hope we can meet again.
We won't...
ever meet again. Ever.
A performance on Saturday?
Of course. We'll make it happen.
Yes. I'll come to you.
(Yangju Gallery Opening Ceremony)
Yes. I'll speak with you then.
Okay.
Have a cold drink. It'll help soothe your nerves.
- What is this? - Herbal tea. It's good for you.
Your health is Entertainer Band's health.
That's mine.
I drank it slowly, because I didn't know when you'd come out.
- Let's go. - Where to?
- To the studio. - You didn't leave me one sip.
- Have a sip. - I have to drive.
Ha Neul, where are you?
At the office? What about Kyle and Yun Soo?
Okay. Be ready to get on the van.
We'll be there in 30 minutes.
Excuse me. I don't know whether or not you'll believe me,
but I booked us a gig. Did you resolve the Jae Hoon situation?
A gig? What kind?
It's a grand opening for an art gallery in Yangju.
They have a bunch of singers performing.
I searched every festival and show in the country.
Do you see my bloodshot eyes?
The ice melted a little. Do you want?
I don't want what you drank.
What about me? I drank what you drank.
My point exactly.
Why did you drink my drink? You didn't even ask.
You're getting ruder.
That would never happen, Sir.
Aren't you proud of me for getting the gig?
How could you book a gig? What if I can't get Jae Hoon back?
- Because I believe in you. - You believe in me?
Oh goodness.
Because I believe in you, Sir.
Buckle up.
Okay.
Hi everyone.
Isn't that Entertainer Band?
The Juilliard kid. The guitar.
Hello.
Jae Hoon! Over here!
Drummer, Seo Jae Hoon!
We're late, Jae Hoon.
Jae Hoon, let's not go golfing today.
How about we go on a date? It's nice out.
- Mum. - Yes?
I love you.
I know. Let's go.
Seo Jae Hoon!
Let's make this clear.
Is this kidnapping, or are you joining us?
I'm joining you.
Jae Hoon.
I've lived all my life the way you dreamed.
I want to live my own dream now.
This isn't a dream.
I'll keep my grades up.
Let's go.
Goodbye.
This isn't kidnapping. It was his choice.
I'll see you again soon.
Jae Hoon, you can have all the instant noodles now.
How are you, Jae Hoon?
Not that great, but hello.
You're worried about your mum, right?
You're lucky. I wish I had a mum too.
You're always ruining the mood.
Make sure Jae Hoon's seatbelt is on right.
He's worth 1.2 million dollars.
- What? - 1.2 million dollars?
I see my mum was being calculative again.
Mr 1.2 million, let's do your best at drumming.
- Okay. - Yes.
Kidnapping was a success!
This isn't kidnapping.
Anyway, great.
Yes.
- Yes. - Yes.
- Yes! - Yes!
- Yes. - I'm so smart.
Yes, I am.
Now that all of Entertainer Band is here,
we'll assign you to your rooms.
Which room should I use?
Us smart ones should share. Juilliard and Seoul University. Yes.
Great idea.
Do you know how tiring it is to hear you complain every night?
- I'll share with Yun Soo. - His son has to sleep with him.
Okay.
What was that? I thought you were Suk Ho for a second.
Is it because you spend a lot of time together?
Kyle, keep your mouth shut.
Just as it were, Ha Neul and Kyle can share a room.
Jae Hoon, you can share with Yun Soo.
Chan Hee, why don't you sleep with me? What do you think?
I like that. I like Dad too.
- Do you like that? - Can Geu Rin, Dad,
and I sleep together?
I don't want to.
What was that?
He's just a kid. You don't have to take it so seriously.
You're not my type either.
I'm glad.
What was that? Is this supposed to be funny?
Chan Hee, should we laugh?
He's so weird.
I hear you brought back the drummer.
Suk Ho, you've got a talent.
You got the drummer back,
and everything is going great. Why are you looking so down?
Me? I'm not.
Let's go. You need to get some sleep.
You can go ahead. I have to do something.
Are you going to sleep here again?
I won't. Just go.
Let's go. He must be tired from bringing Jae Hoon back.
We'll let him be.
Shall we?
Okay.
Let's go.
I heard the drummer is back. Where is he?
- Hello. - Hello.
He went to class. He has to keep his grades up.
What if his mum kidnaps him again?
That's what we're worried about too.
We should have gone along.
He'll take care of it himself. Let's not pressure him.
You should practise when he's back. I'm meeting someone for an event.
An event? Where are you going?
The band will practise, and the manager will organise events.
- I'm leaving. - I wanted to...
treat you guys for Jae Hoon's return, but you're busy.
He'll be here soon. We can go out then.
How can we go without our manager?
Don't be too late. Is it far from here?
A little. I'll be back.
What do you mean?
The law around artificial rating had amendments,
but it's not very helpful.
What's the point of having a law if it doesn't help?
It's not in effect until six months after the official announcement.
There's minimal chance that it'll backdate to previous cases.
The bill won't be in effect until six months from now.
If this is the case, there won't be much damage...
to Shin Suk Ho even if we find the broker.
Gosh. I've just wasted your time.
I'm sorry.
I asked you out for a celebratory drink, but vitamin water?
This is better for your skin, you old lady.
Gosh.
You don't have to go see the prosecutor any more. Just relax.
It's all sorted out now. Why are you so down?
I was just lucky. I'm not completely innocent.
I don't feel like celebrating.
Fine, fine. Do you want me to dance?
It's awkward.
What is?
You're becoming too gentle. I don't like it.
I shouldn't be gentle.
Even being a fighter is not enough.
I'm going.
Where are you going now? We should talk about the concert.
I'm going for a match.
We found this on the scene of the crime.
I see.
You're not trying to say that this is Jinu's, right?
I sent it to you.
You can show it to Ji Young.
What does this have to do with Luna?
Right, Luna.
You can ask her yourself.
Bye.
Lee Ji Young.
How could you get your younger brother involved in such a crime?
Mr Shin. Even if there is a rainstorm of stress,
I'll be your green umbrella.
Be strong.
Why are you doodling, Geu Rin?
Is it raining a lot?
Don't you just feel so good whenever you see me?
My personality makes you feel dumfounded...
at the same time, it blows away your stress.
Right?
Where are you?
I came to meet with the event organiser.
Yes, I'm waiting for him because he's running late.
I think I'll be in Seoul late at night.
Don't worry.
I'll take care of it and return.
Wait there.
Wait.
Why does he want the address?
He doesn't trust me, does he?
You'll see. I'll take care of everything before you get here.
Because I'm a professional.
Suk Ho told me to show you this. What could it be?
I'm not sure.
I've never seen it before.
Be honest.
If he starts digging around,
you and I both will be in trouble.
It won't be just us.
Jinu and the president also will be in trouble, won't they?
So tell me what this is!
I don't know.
Gosh.
Shin Suk Ho.
Why did you come all the way here?
What did you say?
Stop right there.
Don't come any closer.
Jeong Geu Rin.
(Entertainer)
What? Tomorrow?
If I knew she was going that far, I should've gone with her.
She's your manager, not your sister.
Let's bring them down now.
Introduce me to a reporter who writes biting articles.
Really? This is a very dangerous article.
- I'll learn to drive. - Why? I can drive you.
I'll take you to go see the blossoms.
I'm trying to cheer you up.
Stop joking around.
The vocalist is just my type.
Do you think a boy band at a party for the elders makes sense?
- Hey, let's get this party started. - What?
- Let's liven up the mood. - What's this key chain?
There's only one person in the world...
that I want completely destroyed.
