Basketball
San.
Your hand.
What are you doing? We're in danger!
Let's go.
Stop right there!
Do you... trust me?
Do you think you can climb over it?
Your hand.
They couldn't have gone far.
- Search every nook and cranny. - Yes, Sir!
I'm sorry that I lied to you.
The reason why I couldn't tell you the truth
about me never having been a Kyungsung University student...
was because I couldn't muster up the courage to tell you.
I was afraid that you'd be disappointed in me.
I was afraid... that you'd no longer like me.
And about telling you that we should break up...
because of my own needs...
I truly am sorry for that.
For taking this long to tell you how sorry I am for everything...
I truly am sorry.
I really liked you.
What I felt for you...
has never been a lie.
So please don't tell me that it's over.
Not even for a single moment...
were you ever out of my mind.
It's too late.
It's too late...
for us to turn back now.
I've returned.
I'm telling you that I've returned, Shin Young.
Shin Young.
Barricade all the corridors and exits.
We have to find them.
- Find them! - Yes, Sir!
I'll lure them away.
The moment you get my signal, run out of here as fast as you can.
- I'll come with you. - Don't ever look back...
until you see a major road.
San.
Promise me.
I promise that I'll come back to you.
Hey, you buttholes!
I'm right here! Come here and get me!
Get him!
Keep going that way, and you'll see a major intersection.
Can you make it there alone?
Be careful and watch your back.
I knew it.
Always saying the things I want to hear, and the way you toy with my heart.
I knew that you'd abandon me and leave me at a crucial moment like this.
You just asked me if I trusted you.
Why did you even ask me if I trusted you
if you were going to abandon me like this?
Bong Soon.
I thought that you were working to make things better for me.
I thought that you were working to make this a better world for me to live in.
Those were all just words.
I knew they were all lies.
I'm the crazy one for having fallen for it.
Bong Soon!
What?
It's too late....
for us to turn back now.
Glad to see you're safe.
What about the others?
I can only hope that they're safe.
By the way...
What's going on between you and Reporter Choi Shin Young?
She's the woman I'm in love with.
You and Reporter Choi?
You're telling me that you two are in love?
I've hurt her.
I wanted to come back.
I really wanted...
to come back to her.
I thought that if I came back...
everything would just go back to the way they used to be.
First thing first.
Let's move to somewhere safer.
Do you by any chance...
know where we could go?
Lift up your head.
Don't you think that you should go to the hospital?
No.
I'd rather just die.
I was wondering what had happened.
I was wondering why you were all of a sudden
trying to start a nice, clean business.
Is it true?
Did you really shoot San with a gun?
Do you ever really listen to what I tell you?
I told you that I had no other choice!
Why are you yelling and spewing crap at me
when you haven't even done anything right?
Anyways, what's going to happen to that business plan of yours?
Is it going to turn into a pile of crap now?
Stop with all that crap talk! Why do you keep mentioning 'crap' to me?
It's only because you've got crap without Kang San...
I mean, you've got nothing without him.
Do you have anyone else in mind that could replace Kang San?
What were you thinking blowing off his perfectly fine finger like that?
I can't even fathom how his mother will feel whenever she finds out about it.
Forget it! You're being punished for what you've done.
A basketball player missing a finger is all done for.
Not just Kang San, but it would be the same for Min Chi Ho.
Your business is over now.
What is Min Chi Ho up to these days?
Should I try to get him on my side?
San!
You're okay, right?
You didn't go stab President Choi or anything, right?
Come in.
San. You and I need to talk.
I'm a comrade of his.
Please excuse my imposition.
Why are all the good looking ones crawling into my house lately?
Is my house coated in honey or something?
Come on.
San.
Get lost.
Come on, let's not be like this. I know that you're angry.
But don't you think that we should really talk this out?
I told you to get lost.
I won't make any excuses.
I won't even ask you for your forgiveness.
But...
Let me just say one thing.
You're everything I have.
I'm telling you that you are my everything.
You think I'm going to let you fool me again?
I know that I'm a snake myself. I know I did some awful things to you.
But do you think I enjoyed doing what I did?
You think I shot you with that gun without any thoughts on my part?
I thought a lot about it too.
What I had to do for both of us to survive.
What I could do to save both our lives
while causing the least amount of injury.
That's the only thing I could think about for days.
I don't believe a thing that the doctor told you.
No matter what the doctor said about you
not being able to play basketball anymore
there's no way that I believe a single word of it.
Do you know what I believe in?
It's you, Kang San.
San.
Let's play basketball.
Let's play basketball, San.
Tanaka Junpei.
Yoshida Takeshi.
Min Chi Ho.
How are things at home? Is everything taken care of?
Yes.
If you want to make up for all the practices that you've missed
you know that you're going to have to do
several times what other are doing, right?
Here.
Kasairo.
Okay, all done.
Coach. Why don't you have any for us?
You guys didn't change your names.
Only the players who had their names changed were given new uniforms.
That's not fair.
We're players of this team too.
Players who did not change their names...
have been dismissed.
That's absolutely absurd.
Absurdities like that...
is the reality of our country these days.
I'm sorry.
Coach. Coach!
What's wrong with you guys? Come on, let's get to practice.
How can you even think about practicing at a moment like this?
What else are we to do?
You want to just play when the competition is right around the corner?
And...
Who do you think you are to take your anger out on me?
Was I the one who let you go? Why are you getting mad at me for?
You traitorous bastard.
How dare you get angry at a drop of a hat in front of nobility?
Don't you know that our country is deemed
as being most courteous in all of the East?
But your manners are crap!
Are you that happy at having become a noble
at the price of selling out your own country?
Since when did Korea start having aristocrats?
Seriously.
Rather than being grateful to the Empire from saving us from the dark ages...
You're what?
Calling me a traitor?
Our country was headed towards ruin anyways.
You're too ignorant for me to even converse with.
Don't you agree, Asano Jiko?
- That's enough. - Keep your mouth shut, traitor.
The day you became the hero of our people by
refusing to pledge yourself to the Emperor...
you took all the glory and soaked in all the praises.
So how does it feel to have betrayed the people of this country overnight?
Come on, you can't call him a traitor.
You're being too harsh with your words.
One could get expelled from his school,
and forbidden from playing any basketball
if one refuses to change his name.
Asano Jiko's decision...
was the smartest decision he could've made.
A traitor and a turncoat...
This game has gotten way too filthy for me to play anymore.
Who are you calling a traitor!
Don't go around speaking recklessly when you
don't even know what you're talking about.
My name is Min Chi Ho.
Any thoughts of playing basketball under any other name other than Min Chi Ho...
is the furthest thing from my mind.
That idiot.
Asano Jiko.
Hey, Min Chi Ho!
Yoon Bae!
What?
- Min Chi Ho quit his team? - That's what we're telling you.
This is a chance of a lifetime!
- What does he mean by that?
- It's Min Chi Ho! Min Chi Ho is available!
If I can just get Min Chi Ho...
Gong Yoon Bae can still start his business even without having San around.
That looks great.
Is it finally starting?
He'd rather quit his team rather than changing his name against his will.
Korea's first basketball team that stirs up
the patriotic passion in the Korean people.
What about the name?
Baek-Hwa.
What do you think?
You think that the basketball team is some sort of a restaurant or something?
Baek-Hwa?
Meaning, white flower?
Lifting up the spirits of our nation's citizens through basketball.
Baek-Hwa.
Korea's basketball team for its people, Baek-Hwa!
So Chil Bok, who knew you had it in you?
- Hey! - You startled me!
I'm here from the police station.
- Is Choi Shin Young inside? - What's this about?
I've received information that Choi Shin Young
is involved with the New Dawn rebel group.
She's not in right now.
I'll go in and check for myself.
Do you have a warrant?
Harboring a suspect is a felony.
You can't come in without a warrant.
That arrogant bastard.
What's going on?
Little lady made me swear not to tell anyone.
Are you going to take responsibility for
it if anything happens to the little lady?
The thing is, the little lady...
It's not just Min Chi Ho that she's spending her time visiting these days.
There's a secret newspaper organization called, The New Dawn.
Allow me to pour you a drink.
I don't drink.
I looked into the matter that you mentioned.
Our little lady would never get involved with something like that.
I'm not sure if you were aware of this, but our little lady...
She's President Choi Je Gook of Kyungin company's only daughter.
What would a person like that...
get herself involved in something so dangerous as an organization like that?
Just what it is that a person like that is lacking to do something like that...
I'm even more curious now to find out.
The fact that our little lady is President Choi Je Gook's daughter...
was something you really weren't aware of?
That's correct.
I wasn't aware of it.
I ask that you look into the information that you received
regarding our little lady once again.
If she really is innocent...
then I'm sure the truth will come to light.
Do you know what I believe in?
It is you, Kang San.
- How did you know I was here? - Were you playing basketball?
I really like basketball too.
Your two step jumper... will you teach me how to do it?
I'm not a basketball player any longer.
Kang San.
Let's work together... and join Team Baek-Hwa.
With the new dawn approaching...
if I'm to continue on with the plan and infiltrate Choi Je Gook's inner space...
there are a lot of things that we need to prepare for.
We need a new meeting place for our meetings
with our comrades who survived the raid.
I think we're going to need to use
Baek-Hwa that President Gong has put together for many different purposes.
President Gong...
I mean, Gong Yoon Bae, that man...
he's not a very trustworthy person.
I know the things he's done to you.
We'll have to make sure to take every single precaution that we can
to make sure that he never finds out about our secret identities.
[As the standardized uniform to unify people along with the Japanese...]
[to better simplify and increase the everyday
efficiency of daily lives and activities..]
[following the motto of the Disciplinary army...]
Why is this so difficult?
Instead of getting annoyed, take that time to memorize another line.
Did you think that it was going to be easy
to be the model for the people's uniform ad?
We're not going to need any of this.
All I'm going to have to do is put on the
clothes and get a few pictures taken.
You think taking a few pictures is going to be the end of it?
You're going to have to do an interview with the reporters too.
Whatever!
I know I'll be fine without having to do any of this.
What do you take Kyungsung's top basketball star, Lee Hong Ki for?
Don't you know how fickle and unpredictable this game can be?
Did you not see what happened to Kang San at the height of his popularity?
There you go with those careless words again.
Don't you even feel the least bit of sympathy for Kang San?
That's why I'm telling you to keep your head on straight.
You didn't have to do that.
That wretched wench.
You. Go back and finish memorizing those lines.
And leave the rest to me.
- Yes. - Mom.
Yes.
If you're too busy, then there's nothing we can do.
Yes, Coach.
Then please come next time, okay?
Madame Park. I got a haircut.
Isn't it cute?
Son.
I have a bad feeling about this.
What if you don't get picked as the model for the people's uniform?
Come on, why are you worried about that? Don't worry, I'll get picked.
There's no need for you to worry about that.
It's because of those guys. Those guys are bringing us bad luck.
- Mom. - Madame Park.
There you go again. I told you to try to be nicer.
I told you to keep your head on straight, didn't I?
Why are you such a pushover?
Why would you lend out our yard to nobodies like those guys?
It's because I have a plan of my own.
Plan? What plan?
Mom, do you really think that our team is even
being properly trained anymore these days?
Our main job these days is to follow
President Choi around and do his bidding at all those events.
At the rate that things are going
Kang San will have no problem making it back
onto the team even while missing his finger.
Let's be blunt about it.
What if Kang San comes back and takes everything I've worked to gain so far?
What are we going to do then?
We have to keep him tied down here at least.
Don't you think so?
Was that really your plan?
Come on, of course! Mom...
I'm not as sweet and simple as you think.
Let them make all the noise they want about
being the best basketball team event in town.
Even if they try, all they'll be is some restaurant's basketball team at best.
Okay, okay. Right over here. Come on up.
Mom. Mom!
Okay, okay. Right over here. Come on up.
What you see right here is Baek-Hwa.
This place that you see...
is where basketball team, Bae-Hwa will take
it's first steps with star player, Kang San.
Please allow me to introduce you...
to our star of the day, Kang San.
San.
What are your thoughts on Min Chi Ho?
How have you been? Can you give us a comment?
The open tryouts for the team where you can play with Kang San is coming up.
I hope that you'll show us your support.
Then is Kang San's new team going to be Team Baek-Hwa?
Yes.
He will be playing for Team Baek-Hwa.
We'll soon be selecting other members for the team as well.
So don't go anywhere and take plenty of pictures, okay?
Kang San. How does it feel to be back in Kyungsung?
To all those who's been hurt by my wrongdoings in the past...
I would like to sincerely apologize from the bottom of my heart.
Even though I was away from you for a brief time...
I have never for one single moment forgotten about basketball.
All the love and support you've given me...
I'll repay you with an even better show of sportsmanship.
Thank you.
Don't speak so rashly when you don't even know what you're talking about.
I'm Min Chi Ho.
Any thoughts of playing basketball under any other name other than Min Chi Ho...
is the furthest thing from my mind.
Okay, we're all set.
You're disqualified.
Okay, next.
- Next. - Next.
Next.
Min Chi Ho?
It's a relief to see that you're back safely, Kang San.
What are you doing here?
I happened to hear that a basketball team was
being put together for the people of Korea.
What about your team?
I quit.
- Gentle. Just grab it gently. - Okay.
Min Tae Shin from Pyongyang has just arrived.
I'm sure you must have quite a busy schedule.
I'm sorry that I had to bother you by asking you to come pick me up.
No, not at all. I only did what I had to do.
I heard that Chi Ho is back in school?
Yes.
It's all thanks to you, Shin Young.
No, I haven't even done anything.
But it's still a relief to see Chi Ho slowly
starting to regain his strength back.
Oh my goodness, In-law Min!
It's nice to see you.
Yes, it's nice to see you as well.
I apologize for asking you to come when I know how busy you must be
I'll be leaving now.
Please enjoy your visit.
Sung Won?
People's uniform business, you say?
Yes.
Unifying all the people together as one through the use of a uniform.
Isn't this a groundbreaking idea?
With the Board of Advisors making the new uniform law for the people
it will help lower all the nations' frivolous waste.
What a groundbreaking idea is that?
These are...
some designs that I've received from the Board of Advisors.
It's suitable to wear both in summer and winter.
It could be worn for any and all occasions, and comfortable as it can be.
But...
it looks so similar to Japanese military uniform.
Korean people's every day uniform looking like Japanese military uniform?
In that case...
will the people who'll be in charge of the production of these uniform...
will it just be the two of us doing it?
Yes, that's correct.
Since the Secretary Commissioner entrusted
us to take care of this for him
don't you think that we should make sure not to let him down?
Of these two styles, which would you like to take charge of?
Well, it doesn't matter to me which. But...
What are you thinking of charging for one of these uniforms?
I was actually... going to discuss that with you.
The cost of raw cotton is so high these days because of the war.
The price of other supplies have skyrocketed as well.
In order to meet the cost of all the materials needed...
I don't think will be an easy feat.
What do you think about providing them for free?
For free?
If these truly are uniforms that are meant for the benefit of the people...
don't you think that would be the right thing to do?
Min Chi Ho.
Since you already came all the way down here, can you show us a move or two?
Something that no one else but Min Chi Ho would know how to do.
Min Chi Ho! Min Chi Ho!
Pass!
You're on the team!
Min Chi Ho.
We're going to have an inaugural ceremony for
Team Baek-Hwa on this coming up Saturday.
- We'll see you then. - Okay.
Min Chi Ho.
Can I... ask you something?
As you may already know...
Baek-Hwa is a basketball team that was created for the people of Korea.
But didn't you have your name formally changed?
On a basketball team that was created for the people of Korea...
Do you really think that you're suitable for this team?
Why are you saying that?
Why are you trying to ruin a good thing?
The Koreans who's had their names changed...
are not acceptable by you?
No, not at all!
It's not like a change in your name turns
a Korean into a Japanese all of a sudden.
It's doesn't matter.
A man who's so strong in his beliefs enough to refuse to recite the mantra...
I can't understand how you could suddenly
have such a huge change of heart.
A person that I truly cared about...
was dragged away by the police for a sin he didn't even commit.
He was like a real brother to me.
If I changed my name...
I was told that they would free him.
I...
did have my name changed.
Only after my brother died from their brutal torture...
did I realize that my decision did not matter whatsoever.
I wondered if there was even a purpose to playing basketball...
so I even thought of quitting.
But there were people...
who never lost their faith in me, and remained loyal by my side.
A young child who still needed my care...
and a woman who never left my side, and cared for me.
My fiance.
As long as they're in my life...
I'm going to continue to travel down my path.
My path now...
is to prove that I've never changed, and I'm a loyal citizen of Korea.
Even though I did have my name changed, more than ever now...
I want to become a part of Korea's Baek-Hwa Basketball Team.
My true name is the same as ever before.
I want to prove to everyone that I'm a proud Korean,
and that my name is Min Chi Ho.
Min Chi Ho!
There were people who never left my side and remained ever so loyal to me.
A woman who always believed in me, and never left my side.
My fiance.
I'm telling you that I've returned, Shin Young.
Shin Young.
I know that you followed me here.
Why did you follow me?
I'm sorry.
I wasn't trying to do it on purpose.
I was just curious to know what you were doing at my father's company.
What I'm about to tell you...
as a comrade of the New Dawn...
is not going to come as pleasant news to you.
It's possible...
that it may be something that you may not be able to handle.
The one who ordered Kang San's finger to be cut off...
was none other...
than your own father.
Were you aware it was President Choi who ordered it to be done?
He didn't like seeing how you and Kang San were getting so close.
So the one who had Kang San forcibly sent away to a labor camp
and the one who ordered Kang San's hand to be injured like that...
All that was ordered to be done by President Choi Je Gook.
What are you talking about?
Kang San...
from the rage that he feels for President Choi Je Gook...
he's really struggling with himself.
The love he feels for you...
is the only thing keeping him from letting his rage for your father erupt.
But the more he does that...
the more agonizing everything becomes for Kang San.
Long before you joined the New Dawn...
we've...
been doing our research on President Choi Je Gook.
Everything we've ever found on President
Choi Je Gook is contained in that envelop.
Including...
the things that we're going to need your help on.
My...
help?
What? Give out the uniforms for free?
What is he thinking?
Excuse me... President Choi.
What?
The truth is...
the police stopped by here this morning.
Where did you learn awful manners like that?
- Don't you know how to knock? - Did you really order it done?
Did you order... to have his finger cut off?
How could you? How could you do something like that?
How could you have done that?
Little lady, you shouldn't be doing this.
Please calm down.
Did you really do that?
- Little lady. - Let go of me!
Tell me.
Did you really do it!
You manner-less brat.
How dare you raise your voice to me?
What?
Tell me?
Who do you think I am? One of your friends?
How... how can you be so shameless?
- What? - Even after what you've done...
How can you still stand there looking so shameless?
Is this the type of person that you truly are?
You wench!
How do you think you're any better? How are you any better than me?
After all I've done for you, and given you, you dare say that to me?
Do you think that the whole world is yours?
Dating a penniless loser like that when you've got all this?
And what? You dare stand before me and question me?
Just try bringing him around me again.
I'll make what I've done to him look like nothing!
I...
can't forgive you for this.
How dare you speak to me like that!
Do you take your father for a joke?
I...
I said, I will never forgive you for this.
Get this wench out of here!
Father, you're an awful man.
I vow that I'll make you see just how deplorable of a human being you are!
Why don't you go home? I'll take you home myself.
You knew about it too, didn't you?
All those awful things that father did to San...
You knew all about them, didn't you?
- My lady... - Don't even call my name.
Are you just as awful as my father is.
How could you do something like that?
You never used to be like this.
How could you?
How could you do this!
Thank you, Ma'am!
Don't even mention it. Enjoy, okay?
Coach, why don't you try this? This juice is very delicious.
It's a new type of juice that's out, and you won't believe how it tastes.
You didn't have to bring this for us.
Wow, that's so delicious!
- Can I have another glass? - Oh my!
Coach!
Where have you been to come back now? I've brought you a special gift.
Why are you being like this? You're making me feel uncomfortable.
Everyone gather around.
The player we've chosen to model the people's uniform...
is Lee Sae Min.
Player Lee Sae Min have shown me time and
time again with his outstanding skills
that he is more than qualified to represent the passion of this team
by representing us as the new mascot of the team into the new season.
That's all.
I want to be left alone.
The spring conference game that we held awhile back...
the tickets to the game that our team sold to the public...
there was a 15% increase in price that we included for patriotic taxes.
Though we advertised it as being funds to
help support our Korean volunteer soldiers...
in actuality...
the money was used as lobbying funds...
to give to the Secretary Commissioner, and other high ranking officials...
within the Board of Advisors.
I keep forgetting myself...
that I'm involved in doing these awful things.
Because unless I forget about them...
I can no longer stay here.
I don't...
want to leave this place just yet.
I want to remain...
a bit longer by your side.
I...
as a fellow comrade of the New Dawn...
I'd like to give you an opportunity.
Apart from your relationship from your father...
an opportunity to do something to help out
our fellow Koreans from all their suffering.
An opportunity not to repeat your own father's mistakes.
And also...
a chance to redeem yourself...
in the eyes of the man you love.
It is time...
for you to do something about the agony Kang San is going through.
It seems as though the security within Kyungin factory has intensified greatly.
I can't get near the president's office.
Is my testimony against the forced labor camps not enough on its own?
Even though your testimony will be of some help...
in order for us to expose Choi Je Gook's corruption...
we need real solid evidence.
Unless we get those documents that we need...
everything that we've worked so hard for until this moment will turn into smoke.
Any news from Reporter Choi?
What do you mean, Reporter Choi?
Are you talking about Reporter Choi Shin Young?
Who's out there?
Do they really think...
that I, Lee Hong Ki, won't be able to play basketball without them?
That's what I've been trying to tell you from the beginning.
What use do you have for them when they don't even realize your true value?
Baek-Hwa?
It goes without saying, doesn't it?
Even though our start may have been a bit weak
I guarantee that our finish will be quite strong.
Min Chi Ho, and Kang San who at one point
used to be the ruling stars on the court...
If they see Lee Hong Ki, the formidable dark horse step onto the court...
That's what you call a show stopping icing on the cake.
- Really? - Of course.
What use would I have to lie right now?
In that case...
Can you give me the center position?
Center?
I've always wanted to stand in the center
court for as long as I could remember.
But Min Chi Ho already has claim on the center position.
- Okay, let's forget it then. - Come on, don't be like that again.
Why don't you let me finish what I was saying first?
Even though the center position is already spoken for by Min Chi Ho...
there's always room for a change.
No business ever stays the same.
We haven't even made any official statements for the team yet.
Changing the position around later on is not going to be any big deal.
I think reporter Choi's done it.
Did you really drag Shin Young into Choi Je Gook's business?
What do you mean, drag her in?
This was a decision that Reporter Choi made on her own.
She's shed the security of her bourgeoisie life
to take the first step towards solidarity and
aligning herself to the people of this country.
Choi Je Gook is her father.
- How could his own child... - Kang San.
You can't let your feeling affect your
devotion to help the suffering of our people.
While you worry so much about the heartache
that Reporter Choi will go through...
will you ignore the suffering and the cries of your own Korean people?
Kang San.
I need to talk to you, Shin Young.
Shin Young!
I just need to talk to you for a moment. Shin Young!
Is Shin Young in there?
I don't think you and my lady no longer
have anything to say to each other anymore.
I won't take long.
Shin Young.
I just need a moment. Shin Young!
Why are you acting like this? You're going to start causing trouble.
My lady. I told you to stay inside.
I'll take care of this.
What is it?
I'm sorry for causing a ruckus.
But I had to talk to you.
The files that we just received...
They came from you, didn't they?
You shouldn't get involved in this.
This has nothing to do with you.
It involves my father.
I can't just ignore it.
It's because it involves your father!
At first...
When I found out that it was your father who
was responsible for what happened to me...
all I wanted to do was get my revenge on him.
Enough to forget the fact that he was your father...
I was filled with nothing but hate for him.
But the only reason why I was able to endure all that hate...
was because of you.
Because he's your father.
Because the thought of sacrificing you...
was even more painful than losing my finger.
I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry for what you had to go through.
I'm so truly sorry.
Forgive... my father for what he's done.
I don't...
have any right to judge your father.
I was too busy chasing after my own success...
that I lost sight of what's important, and hurt lots of innocent people.
The reason why I've agreed to join the protest coming up...
is my own way of repenting for the sins I've committed...
against those innocent people who were hurt because of me.
Once this is all over...
I'm going to become a new person, very different than who I have been.
Instead of focusing on my own success, I'm going to focus on playing fairly.
I'm going to show everyone that even those
without means can play the game too.
I'm going to become a good man...
and come to stand before you again.
Until that happens...
please wait for me, Shin Young.
Rice cakes!
Wow, that looks good.
Mister. That's not really centered.
Can you move it over a bit? Come on, and move it.
A little more to the other side.
Perfect!
Look at what they're doing.
What is all that?
Look out. The lucky pig is making its entrance.
Clear the way!
That's a good looking pig.
I'm sorry, I was just...
How dare you?
You should be ashamed of yourself!
What is that?
Official inauguration of Baek-Hwa Basketball Team.
Coach Gong Yoon Bae.
Min Chi Ho, and Kang San.
The King has nothing on me.
Look here, President Gong.
Yes?
Are you trying to ruin my business?
You're blocking off the path for all my customers!
I'm sorry, but I didn't know so many people would show up.
What do you mean, you didn't know?
You had just as many people during the tryouts the other day.
Don't you know the first rule of etiquette
when you rent out someone else's space?
- I'm sorry, I'll wrap it up quickly. - You think saying sorry is everything?
How are you going to compensate me for this?
Compensate?
Yes, I was just going to just let it go out of
consideration for my son's name and reputation
but I don't think I can do that.
Don't you think that this is going overboard?
Okay, okay.
I understand very well what you're hinting at.
I'll compensate you for it.
It's a relief to know that at least you seem to understand my drift.
Anyway...
I'll take it that we have an understanding,
and I'm going to get going now.
I wish I could just smack that grumbling mouth shut.
Compensation?
Are you really going to compensate her?
How do you think I'll do that?
Then where are you going to get the money?
- There's the prize money. - Prize money?
The prize money for winning Korean league game is pretty huge.
Wouldn't we have to win in order to get that prize money?
It's going to take quite a while to win first place at the finals.
What do you take Gong Yoon Bae for?
You really think that I wouldn't have a plan?
On this day of June, 11th.
Gong Yoon Bae would like to offer this humble offering.
Please bless our basketball team, Baek-Hwa.
Please help all our players play their best
to help rewrite the history in Korean basketball.
Baek-Hwa Basketball Team's Coach Gong Yoon Bae.
I want all the teams players to offer a greeting of their own as well.
We'll start with Min Chi... I mean, Lee Hong Ki.
Hello.
I'm Captain of the Baek-Hwa Basketball Team, Lee Hong Ki!
Wait... Lee Hong Ki is the captain?
Then... are you going to be taking the center position as well?
Of course!
Okay, we can't take up too much time away from all these busy people.
So why don't we all offer a greeting as a group.
Attention.
Grand bow.
Kang San.
Can you give us a comment on how it feels to be back on a basketball team?
Min Chi Ho.
How does it feel to be now a part of Team Baek-Hwa?
I'm the captain of this team, so how about you focus your questions on me?
We have plenty of time for questions later,
so how about taking some pictures first?
Okay, a picture of Team Baek-Hwa's players. Focus here.
One, two, three.
We're all set with the alibis, so let's get going.
I'll see you in front of Kyungin factory.
Breaking news!
Choi Je Gook has exploited the people of
Korea long enough for those evil Japanese!
Let's all teach him a real lesson!
Everyone gather in front of Kyungin factory!
Let's reclaim our nation's pride that was stolen away from us!
The money they charged for the basketball game
was used as lobbying funds for the Board?
Breaking news!
Let's make Choi Je Gook pay for his sins!
Let's show them the strength of the Korean people!
Everyone gather in front of Kyungin factory!
[Shocking news!]
[Choi Je Gook found to be the henchman to
exploit his own people for the Japanese!]
They've probably already started by now, right?
Didn't you tell me that's what Sung Won said?
That today is the day of the rally in front of President Choi's company.
I don't know what we should be doing.
The reason why I've agreed to join the protest that's coming up
is to repent in my own way for the sins
that I've committed against those people...
who were hurt because of me.
What?
Min Chi Ho joined a new basketball team?
They held an opening ceremony a little while ago.
What do you mean, Min Chi Ho created a new basketball team?
He's the star of his own team.
He quit his team.
That crazy bastard.
Call him right now.
But...
I was told that Kang San is on the team as well.
What?
I thought he couldn't play again!
I'll look into it.
Those conniving bastards.
Choi Je Gook's a bastard. Give us back our money!
We bought those tickets to help our own sons who are out in the frontlines.
We did not buy those basketball tickets to help fund your evil deeds!
You're a front man for the evil board of advisors!
How can you still call yourself a Korean!
What's going on out here?
What are you guys doing?
President Choi Je Gook, the oppressor of the Koreans, come out here!
Come out here and receive the judgment from the people!
Come out here, Choi Je Gook! The traitor of all our people.
[New Dawn- The front man for all the Japanese
government's evil deeds against his own.]
How could this be!
Just how in the world did this happen!
It seems Elder Yoon and Earl Byun are working
together to thwart you from your seat.
- Could it be that they... - Call Elder Yoon right now!
Come out here, Choi Je Gook! The traitor of all our people.
You haven't paid any of us our wages in several months!
I've lost count how many times you've promised to pay us and you never did!
Let's join them in their efforts!
Welcome! Let's do this together!
Come out here, Choi Je Gook! The traitor of all our people.
Aren't you President Choi's daughter?
You are, aren't you?
You're President Choi's daughter, right?
Yes, I am.
Please! Give us our wages that we're due.
How are we expected to have the energy to
work when we can't even afford any food?
You haven't been getting paid?
how long has it been since you've been paid?
You seriously haven't been getting paid your wages?
Can you please talk to President Choi for us?
Please!
We need to get paid all our back wages.
Okay, I understand.
I promise that I'll take care of it for you.
- Don't worry. - Really?
Thank you.
Hey, come over here.
President Choi's only daughter promised us that she'll take care of everything.
Who did she say she is?
President Choi's only daughter is here.
What?
Choi Je Gook's daughter?
That's the traitor's daughter.
Traitor Choi Je Gook's daughter, Choi Shin Young is over there!
Shin Young?
Why aren't you paying us our wages when
you're dressed in all those fine clothes?
How does it feel to live high and mighty while
stealing from the mouths of your own people?
Why are you all being like this? What wrong has this lady done you?
Everyone calm down, and just talk rationally, okay?
You're a traitor of the Korean people! Get lost!
Shin Young!
Shin Young.

I thought that you and I were in agreement.
But I think that your daughter is on a different page.
I was the one who exposed my father.
How painful it must've been for you. My poor baby.
Min Chi Ho and Kang San created a basketball team together?
Min Chi Ho, that crazy bastard!
What are you doing instead of passing it?
Don't you know how to play ball?
Is something going on?
I have decided to provide the people's uniforms for free.
You think that this is going to ruin me?
I need to leave this house.
This is our place for the time being.
I've decided to do it like I used to operate the gambling ring in Namdaemun.
Team Baek-Hwa's first opposing team is none other than Kyungin Amateur Team.
