(Episode 06)
I'm sorry, Boss.
You missed Park Ho Sik...
and lost 20 million dollars?
I'm sorry, Boss. Please save me.
Go bring me the man who played with my money!
Why did you show up out of the blue?
What did you do for the last five years?
I thought you would've found who tried to kill me by now.
Don't blame me.
I told you to come to me when we last spoke on the phone.
I couldn't go to you.
That jerk killed me.
That jerk who smelled gunpowder.
Is he really the last one you saw?
If he isn't?
How did you manage to survive then?
I don't know. I fell under the water when it exploded.
I see.
I should've looked for you more like you said.
I made a mistake.
What will you do now?
I saw everyone I missed. I should report myself now.
I thought Ji Soo would come back if I died.
Then the hyenas eyeing on Sunwoo Group's shares...
would find her to take care of the inheritance.
But she didn't come back.
If I turn myself in and file a lawsuit about the inheritance,
everyone will find out about Ji Soo's missing.
Ji Soo...
is alive.
Don't provoke them.
They might...
really kill Ji Soo.
Do you have evidence that she's alive?
I found Ji Soo's trace in China.
I'm almost there.
You shouldn't fine her. Wait.
Please listen to me this time, Ji Won.
Cha Ji Won is dead.
I'm Black now.
Where did Min Sun Jae take him?
We can't wait any more.
Go bring him.
There is a video recording, so he can't do anything.
Even if he tries to do something, Mr Cha will win.
Guys, his head cracked!
You should go.
No. Go clean your wound.
Since you're not feeling well, I will stay with you.
Stop it.
Besides, you are not my style.
Go.
I feel like drinking with you today,
but let's do that next time.
Excuse me.
President Min!
I felt like my private space is being invaded because of these men.
I apologise if you felt uncomfortable.
Living next door, I never got to see them,
but I guess the people next door are very important.
They are my agents. I will withdraw them. Take some rest.
Do you have time tomorrow?
My boss ordered me to make an appointment with you.
I will check the schedule and get back to you.
Bring your wife, too!
Black.
Black!
You can go now.
Ms Kim Swan?
Hello.
What brings you here?
I was in the neighbourhood.
You agreed to do an interview last time.
We usually work 24 hours,
and I need an article before tomorrow morning's deadline.
I'm sorry.
Tonight isn't a good time.
I'll contact you later.
How is Black doing?
Ms Yoon.
Where have you been?
The hospital kept calling.
President Min called an ambulance at a beach in Taean.
- Where? - A beach in Taean.
He said someone was severely hurt,
but the paramedics didn't find anyone.
Both your phone and Mr Min's phone were turned off.
Tell Mr Choi to come back.
No, prepare me any car. I'll just drive.
- Ms Yoon. - It's Ji Won!
It must be Ji Won who was hurt.
- What? - Ji Won...
Ji Won is alive, and he's back.
I must have lost my mind.
I told him to go kill himself.
What if something happens to him?
No...
I haven't told him anything I wanted to.
Hey! Who are you?
You'll have to save me if you want your money back.
Tell them where I am.
Then follow them to where I am.
I'll be underwater.
Listen.
You won't ever find your money if I die.
I thought I was going to die, too.
He's barely alive.
Hey, wake up.
Wake up!
Where is my money?
Why you...
No.
You can't die like this.
You don't deserve to die.
That's right.
You're alive. Yes, you're alive!
Pull yourself together.
It's me.
I saved your life like I promised.
Now, tell me.
Where is my money?
What?
Let's go to Korea.
I'll give it to you there.
Goodness!
He has passed away.
I feel suffocated.
Why are you suffocating me?
You think it's funny?
Those are words you'll hear pretty soon.
You'll die soon...
even if you don't try so hard.
Are you trying to bring me bad luck by saying that?
How many times do I have to tell you?
A shrapnel was stuck in your head...
from the explosion.
You developed an aneurysm while digging that out.
I told you to be careful.
It could happen in 5, 4, 3, 2 and 1.
You might no longer be part of this world all of a sudden.
Goodbye.
It's over if it bursts.
Buy me a nice helmet if you're that worried.
I can't afford it.
And do you know how much money you're wasting...
by renting out the entire hospital every time you get hurt?
I'm keeping track of all the expenses.
Of course you are.
Money is all you can trust, and gold is the only that doesn't betray.
I'm not joking.
You might get yourself killed in a matter of days.
You're awake.
Yes.
Why did you pass out this time?
Look.
Do you think you'd be fine after getting hit over the head?
Min Sun Jae, that punk.
Hey.
He was your superior in the army.
You shouldn't call him a punk.
Captain Cha is the only superior I have.
You're the best, Gye Dong.
Losers!
She must be sick.
You should take Swan to the hospital.
She told me she saw Black in front of the gambling house.
She was staring off into space until she left the office.
Where is she if she isn't at home?
Black was at the gambling house?
Not you, too.
Cha Ji Won is dead.
I'll pay you back later.
I lost all my money because of the informant,
and now, I'm babysitting.
Tell me what's going on.
What informant, and who is that man?
He's the owner of a supplier to Sunwoo Distribution.
He has a large factory in Incheon.
He's going to lose it because of his gambling debt.
A gang was after him.
He's in danger.
He's such a nuisance.
Dig into Sunwoo Distribution.
Sunwoo Distribution?
One of their employees died recently because of gambling debts.
I'm covering the story,
and I got a call from an informant.
Gambling and Sunwoo Distribution.
Those are the only things they have in common.
Hey.
You two should come see this.
He's eating non-stop.
It's like watching the circus.
I want information.
Mr Park.
The circus is over. Let's go.
Excuse me.
You always breeze in and leave us hanging.
Tell me where Swan is before you leave.
I'd like to know as well.
Madam,
make sure you take your daughter to see a doctor when you have time.
Is Swan sick?
She's definitely sick.
She's a total psycho.
Kim Swan.
I went everywhere looking for you.
Why did you lie to me?
The man I saw at the party.
It was Black.
Did you meet him?
- Yes. - Why didn't you tell me?
Why?
Does he not want to see me?
Did you tell him I lied about being married to him?
- Is that why he's upset? - Swan.
Black...
isn't here to see you.
I know.
I never said he was.
He never said he'd come for me nor told me to wait,
but I told you he's alive.
I was going to hide even if he showed up.
I haven't found Ji Soo, yet.
And I didn't find any evidence to clear his name.
Still...
I just wanted to know if it was him.
- Do you need a hug? - I'm fine.
I'm just glad he's alive.
I'll see you at home.
We recovered some parts of the security camera footage...
from the gambling place after the police raided.
Are there any faces you know?
Things will get more complicated if I come forward, right?
I'll give you a chance, so you better take care of it.
Ji Ryoon!
You said you're feeling unwell. Why are you doing this?
Stop her, please.
She has never been sick.
Woo Jin was joking about her being sick or something yesterday,
and I think she's really sick now.
Gosh, I'm really fine.
- I have to go to cover a case. - Shut it.
I know you don't want to go see a doctor.
I'll make some porridge for you, so just eat that and sleep.
Yes, Woo Jin. Swan can't go to work today.
She's feeling very sick.
He will really fire me then.
Hello? I'm coming to work. I'm not sick.
I'll stop by Park Ho Sik's office briefly before coming to work.
(Black)
Who is it?
(Black)
Sir. You can't miss that car, okay?
You're here. Let's go in.
No. It's a gorgeous day. Let's go for a walk.
Did something happen?
Actually,
there's someone who wants to see you, so I came with her.
I told you not to get caught.
He looks the same.
You should smile a little.
Why did you do that?
You know that Swan will get in danger if she's with me.
Don't worry.
She said that she would hide even if you looked for her.
It's because she hasn't achieved anything yet.
Is he sick? Why isn't he smiling at all?
Would you like to see her?
As soon as I finish what I plan to do,
I will leave far away.
And I will never come back.
I felt horrible about leaving Swan alone in Thailand.
I don't want to repeat it again.
Let's go now.
Goodness.
This house is way too big for the two of you.
What are all these delicacies for anyway?
Food tastes better when you share it with many people.
- Ms Yoon, shall I put on music? - Forget it!
Well, we have to have a meeting, so please give us some privacy.
- Do you need money? - No.
You know that Ji Won is back, right?
He came to see me. He said that he wants to turn himself in.
- Pardon me? - So I looked into it.
And I found out that murders still...
can receive inheritance.
Gosh, you two are in deep trouble now.
You're about to be kicked out with nothing.
Let's be honest. Everything from this house to the company...
actually belongs to Ji Won.
But it looks like there is something you can do.
You should put half of the assets under my name...
so that you can secure those at least.
Ma Ri, don't take me the wrong way. I won't spend them.
It's just my name, you know? I'll let you use my name.
We should give them back if Ji Won wants.
They belong to him.
- What? - Eat now. The soup will get cold.
Oh, yes. Okay.
Where is it?
Gosh, stop it! It's me!
Mr Seo?
Yes!
How could you even think to come here alone?
We need evidence related to Sunwoo Distribution and illegal gambling.
Baek Eun Do must be locked up.
Otherwise, he will be in danger.
He?
Park Ho Sik! I meant Park Ho Sik.
Boss, we looked through this entire place yesterday.
Park Ho Sik is not here.
Hey, we have to make sure.
He's not here. Let's go.
- It's Kim Jung Ho. - What? Who? Where?
This is Kim Jung Ho, the person who died in Mount Cheonggye.
Park Ho Sik is also in this photo.
I guess the two of them were close.
We should interview Park Ho Sik first, right? We have evidence.
Wait for me here.
Sorry? Why...
Have you been keeping well?
You shouldn't be causing trouble when you cut all ties and left home.
Is this what you're up to these days?
Don't even think about stupid things just because you're a reporter.
Your arrogance cost you your job at the news department.
You should've come to your senses by now!
You have no further place to go down.
You've already reached the bottom!
Then why do you get upset at a person like that?
Your Highness is wasting time on me.
What? You...
Bye.
It's humiliating.
- Did you see everything? - No.
I saw a little bit.
You didn't see who it is.
It's still bright outside. Should you be drinking?
When you drink during the day, you can't even recognise your parents.
That's why I am drinking.
I hope he's a stranger.
Hey! Don't drink.
I don't remember my parents anyway, so it's okay.
It's delicious.
I just wanted to drink and pass out anyway.
Why? You found evidence.
Yes. I was too happy.
I am too happy. That's why I am drinking.
By the way, should we be drinking right now?
You can't fire me for this, okay?
Nowhere else would accept me.
I really have to become a reporter.
Why do you have to become a reporter?
My brother told me.
He told me that a reporter can either kill or save...
- a person with a word. - a person with a word.
That's my saying.
Are they?
Anyway,
I have to save him...
kill all the bad ones...
with my words.
That man...
You're not talking about Park Ho Sik!
You are surely insane!
Yes.
This is the best remedy for your sickness.
Thank you.
I never thought Swan would appear in the gambling site.
By the way, why did you choose to report to Woo Jin?
Baek Eun Do, Min Sun Jae,
the prosecution, the police...
and the media. They must have their line of people.
I thought Woo Jin was the person who couldn't be bought with money.
I thought he'd be on my side.
Was I wrong?
I researched a lot.
Then give me one information.
Actually, I am Woo Jin's spy.
So you are two-timing.
You have to be my spy, too.
I want to complete my plan in six months.
Information.
You know the phrase, tip of an iceberg, right?
It's hiding the majority of itself in the dark ocean.
Kim Jung Ho and Park Ho Sik...
are a tip of the huge iceberg.
Hello? Mr Seo?
This is unbelievable.
You see the four people in the picture, right?
Except for Kim Jung Woo, they are all huge land owners in Incheon.
But recently, they all bankrupted.
Their lands, buildings and the malls...
all got sold.
Do you know who bought them?
Sunwoo Distributions.
Sunwoo Distributions!
And it's all legal!
Okay.
I can't move now, so you guys have to move.
Sunwoo Distributions.
By the way,
do you know why I like Black?
Hey, I don't want to know. Don't tell me.
He is faster than me.
What?
When I first met him,
I ran away,
and he appeared in front of me.
Gosh, my money!
Are you all right?
So I ran again.
Khaya?
And he was in front of me again.
My heart pounded.
So I tried to really get away from him.
But he said he would come...
wherever I was.
He just left me a white piece of paper when he left.
That means he's not going to ever come back.
But he's going to appear again.
After all, he's faster than me.
When he was leaving, he only left me the white piece of paper.
It's nice. White piece of paper is nice.
You can draw whatever you want on it.
Do you think so?
Thank you.
Sunwoo Distribution is about to sign a contract with MRB Funds.
They are going to bid for a casino complex resort in Incheon.
Incheon?
Sunwoo Distributions.
Baek Eun Do that wicked man!
Where are we going?
Panda is that side.
You are drunk. Let's take some break.
Where are we?
Motel?
Hey! Who do you think I am?
- Seo Woo Jin! - Gosh!
Let's go.
I will report you to the police!
Okay. I am a terrible person. So let's go.
What are they?
They get drunk during the day and go to a motel?
Where are you going?
I'm sober now!
No, you are drunk!
I'm trying to ditch the tail!
Hurry.
Hurry up. Lift me.
Lift me.
Hurry up.
We are in trouble.
What? Where did they go?
Motel.
Will they be okay?
It's okay.
She will draw a line and kill him the moment he crosses it.
I will kill you if you cross it.
Watch her well.
Don't let her get hurt.
(President Min Sun Jae)
President Min Sun Jae.
How nice!
- How are you feeling? - I'm good.
You must be really busy.
You've been out of reach.
So I've been really boring.
I was going to go to your hotel at night.
I have a lot to take care of.
Do you need my help?
I am very good at organising documents.
I'm the assistant to commander of operations, you know?
- Ji Won. - No.
I go by Black now.
Do you think you can hide your identity by changing your name?
What if someone recognises you and report you?
You can protect me.
You are the president.
I should dig about Thailand Gas Development first.
You said you're busy, right?
I won't bother you.
I will look around the office.
Ji Won is going to investigate the Thailand Gas Development.
Gosh.
You must've been really surprised.
But you've done worse things.
We don't know what Cha Ji Won is thinking.
Don't let him get you.
Just let me take care of the casino complex resort.
Let me lead for a while.
I will hand it back to you when the right time comes.
Nothing changes just because Cha Ji Won is back.
No matter how much he digs, he won't get anything.
I will...
make you the owner of Sunwoo Group.
Who knows Ji Won has something better than this?
Listen to me,
and do as I say this time.
I heard you were hurt.
I'm okay.
Ji Won.
There are too many eyes here.
Who was the last person you saw?
I heard you are turning yourself in.
You know who tried to kill you, don't you?
This conversation is for another time.
You should keep a closer eye on your wife than your work.
- Hello. - Mr Baek, this is Mei.
Have you left yet?
What do you mean?
Didn't Mr Min tell you?
We made an appointment to meet for lunch today.
I don't believe I got the message.
Then I'll see you next time.
I'll take care of the casino complex resort business.
This is a gift for you.
They seem to be getting ready for a big fight.
That's what we want.
Min Sun Jae is my friend.
I don't want Baek Eun Do getting too close to him.
That would make me jealous.
Are things over with Ji Won?
I understand you needed time.
I want it to end with yesterday.
I was planning to.
But why did you send Mr Choi?
- Don't do that from now on. - I can't promise you that.
Ji Won is a murderer.
It's my duty to protect you.
He was framed.
Who hurt him yesterday?
Are you here to ask me that?
Why do we have to fight because of Ji Won?
This makes it hard for me to be happy that Ji Won is back.
I'll have to wrap up the casino complex resort business...
by signing the contract with MRB Funds.
Draw up the contract.
We haven't found Park Ho Sik...
and aren't able to purchase the land yet.
We can come up with the documents.
That land is going to be ours one way or another.
I'm going to show Sun Jae that he can't get anything...
if he tries to threaten me.
Are you sure you don't know Kim Jung Ho?
You reek of alcohol.
Even when I have this?
We just went hiking together a few times.
You started out with hiking and ended up gambling?
What a change!
All these people went bankrupt from gambling.
Kim Jung Ho was a gambling broker, wasn't he?
He's related to Sunwoo Distribution.
They won't let me live...
if this gets out.
What if I end up dead?
We're risking our lives because of you right now.
They'll think you're an easy target if you show them your fear.
They can't get rid of you easily once the article is out.
You don't want to lose your factory, do you?
It wouldn't be as bad if you sell it for the right price.
Kim Jung Ho of Sunwoo Distribution is a gambling broker, isn't he?
Yes.
Hello.
Long time no see.
Do you remember me?
It is a very urgent matter.
Please pay me in dollars.
You're the president of MRB Funds?
Yes, I am.
So much has changed in the past five years.
You two got married, too.
You've changed a lot as well.
I may be the president,
but my daughter does most of the actual work.
She's just letting her father take the credit.
I don't know much about the company.
I just sign the papers.
Hey. Investment?
We agreed. They will pay a penalty if things go wrong.
About three times the investment.
The hard work of raising her was worth it after all.
You are a successful man in various aspects.
It's nothing compared to you.
You've become the president of a conglomerate at a young age.
Not to mention that you have such a beautiful wife.
- Thank you. - Come to think about it,
Sunwoo Group and I have quite a connection.
The group still owes me.
You know, don't you?
I didn't receive a single penny...
after calling in with information about Cha Ji Won.
It was not even once but twice.
Even on the day he died,
I remember calling you.
I'm sorry about what happened.
You did all you could to save your friend.
Right.
I was too late.
I tried everything I could to save him.
That's enough about the past.
Why did you want to meet us?
For the casino complex resort business,
I want to work with Sunwoo Construction.
However, my daughter says she invested 20 million dollars already.
Sunwoo Distribution is rushing to finalise the contract,
saying that they've purchased the necessary site.
I'm in a tight spot.
- They've purchased the land? - Yes.
But I don't trust them.
You know how hard it is to buy even the smallest area of land.
That huge site already?
If only we could get our deposit back,
I'd like to draw up a new contract.
Is that what you want?
- A new partner? - I'd rather work with you...
than a total stranger.
I think we understand each other, and it'll be good for both of us.
What do you think?
Did you...
meet Ji Won before he died in Thailand?
It was too late when I got the call.
You know all I found was his number chain.
I arrived after the explosion.
Why didn't you tell me?
How am I supposed to tell you that he died because I was late?
Even if you will leave, listen to what I have to tell you.
Right before the explosion,
the last person I saw...
When are you going to the hospital?
Hospital?
You need to get a blood test.
I'll go with you. I want to see our baby, too.
Yes.
I should go soon.
Make time for Ms Jung of Yeorim Investment if you can.
I'll need to extend our bonds...
if we're going to take over the casino complex resort business.
I should erase this number from my mind.
Why do I remember it?
Why?
Hello.
Hello?
Hello.
Isn't this Se Hyung's phone?
No, it isn't.
You got the wrong number.
- Well, then. - Wait. Please don't hang up.
When did you start using this number?
- A while ago. - That's not possible.
- I can hang up now, right? - No, just a second.
Do you know the person's new phone number?
I have to get in touch with him.
He was a very close friend of mine.
I guess you are really close to him.
Yes.
But I guess my friend...
doesn't think that way.
I thought we were really close,
but he probably forgot about me.
Thank you for answering my call.
He didn't forget you.
How could he forget?
You said you two were really close.
Hey!
What's going on?
Why do you look so serious?
Who was that?
- How did it go? - Well...
Don't even get me started. Min Sun Jae is a piece of work.
You should've seen his face.
He's the first jerk I've encountered who is more shameless than me.
He did not say anything about giving a reward.
Let's seal the contract with Sunwoo Distribution...
and move on to the next step.
He didn't forget you.
How could he forget?
You said you two were really close.
He didn't forget you.
How could he forget?
He didn't forget you.
How could he forget?
Swan.
You should've knocked before you come in.
I knocked several times.
Are you feeling better?
Yes. I'm totally fine now.
So just leave me alone.
I'm going to sleep now. Gosh.
Get out now.
Rest up.
He didn't forget you.
Mr Seo Woo Jin?
You're under arrest for illegal gambling and theft.
Me?
You're arresting me?
The money was found in your car.
By the way, where is Reporter Kim Swan?
I need to take Reporter Kim, too.
Let go of me! Goodness.
Gosh, why are you doing this?
You know that I didn't do it!
I know, but just come with me.
- Come here. Let's go. - Go where?
- Gosh, that's not what I... - Good morning!
Detective Choi?
All the gang members are saying that you're the thief...
even though they fully know that they're at a disadvantage.
Whom did you annoy this time?
Look, Detective.
How could the police believe a gang over a reporter?
Look at this!
Would he be wearing this grungy shirt if he stole the money?
Shut it!
I know.
But what can I do? My superiors wanted me to do this.
Be careful both of you.
If our dead bodies turn up somewhere, consider it homicide.
We will never kill ourselves.
That's right!
We cannot die until we find the jerk who did this to us!
This intern is so noisy. Let her go.
I'm not an intern.
I'll be quiet.
- I'm the one you need here, right? - Gosh, I can't let her go.
Who gave you the information about the karaoke bar incident?
The information about K department store lobbying incident.
The military evasion of Senator Kim's son. Sponsors for celebrities!
Just sign the statement, and leave.
- Just me? - You should eat before you go.
The seolleongtang here is amazing.
Hey, Kim Swan.
You wrap up the Sunwoo Distribution case.
You write the article, too.
Really?
But shouldn't you write the article?
Who will write or post the article isn't important.
We need to expose wrongdoing and corruption.
No matter what it is,
we need to reveal the truth objectively.
Got it?
President Min.
I heard you'll sign a contract with MRB Funds.
- The word got out fast. - I told you already.
I'll talk care of the casino complex resort business.
Did you think that you could threaten me with this?
You're still too naive.
Will I be the only one getting hurt if that is exposed?
Do not forget.
We're business partners yet.
We found Park Ho Sik.
But...
What a slippery jerk!
I must've surprised you by getting in touch out of the blue.
My real estate agent kept calling me.
Will you really buy my factory?
Please read it over, and sign it.
- I'll deposit the money right away. - Okay, sure.
Please check.
But...
the agreement is dated as March 27.
Isn't today the 31st?
It's one of the conditions we want.
Is it a problem?
Gosh, no.
It's not a problem at all.
Hello.
I'm Kim Swan, a reporter from Panda.
You need to put in a request to interview him.
We received a report about Sunwoo Distribution purchasing the land...
in Incheon for the casino complex resort through an illegal mean.
Please say a few words about it.
- Mr Baek Eun Do. - Stop it!
Do you know that the land is related to illegal gambling?
Is it true that Mr Kim Jung Ho is a broker for illegal gambling?
Who let her in here?
Security!
Kim Jung Ho made the landowners go bankrupt through gambling,
and Sunwoo Distribution bought their land, right?
Get her out of here.
Mr Baek Eun Do!
Please answer my question!
I'll consider you didn't answer it!
Yes?
(Sunwoo Distribution's Affiliation with Illegal Gambling)
- Hello? - Where are you?
I finished interviewing Baek Eun Do, and I'm working on the article now.
Okay. Meet me at the office.
Let's finalise the article together.
The office?
You're already out?
Of course.
I went to law school.
And I'm really fast, too.
What?
Come to the office by 9pm.
You want me to turn myself in?
Are you seriously asking me to go to the police station?
Gosh, I don't want to. I can't do that.
You said you can't let Sunwoo Distribution take away everything.
You said about how horrible you feel...
when you think about your employees and family who trusted you.
Gosh, yes. I feel guilty.
I should just slash my hand.
Then you should be ready to take this kind of risk.
This way, you can save yourself...
and sell your factory at a right price.
This is the only solution.
Really?

Great. Thank you.
You're welcome.
Turn yourself in,
and get in touch with Sunwoo Distribution.
Tell them that you want to sell the land.
You'll be at the police station, so they can't do anything to you.
Make sure to record the entire conversation.
Reporter Seo.
Thank you so much.
Gosh! Gamble one more time,
and I will report you to the police.
I will never gamble.
I will cut my wrists if I have to.
Please hand my employees their pensions.
Please tell them I'm so sorry...
and that we should meet again.
Okay.
Go in now. You might miss your flight.
Right. That reporter girl.
Don't miss her.
Gosh, why would you bring her up now?
Go now.
Black.
You said this is precious to you. Why did you lose it?
I'm going to get busted because of you.
I knew you'd be alive.
