(Episode 15)
You called me a betrayer.
Yes, I'm a betrayer.
For fear of losing my job,
even though I knew that T9 caused cancer,
I didn't tell the public who use Dodo Group's products.
But, Sir, without the public,
there is no Dodo Group.
In your commercial,
you said you are an honest and trustworthy company.
Is it that hard to do so?
Dodo Group is the greatest company in Korea.
Did you have to shatter the pride...
your employees had?
Did you have to put your profit first,
regardless of the lives you took away?
(Court)
Case number 2016-Gwak-3784.
This court hereby sentences Do Gwang Woo, the defendant,
according to article 353, clause one of Criminal Code...
on special criminal laws on economic crimes...
and according to article 18 of Criminal Code on crime of omission.
You're sentenced...
to six years in prison.
You can lean on me if you're dizzy.
I'm okay.
You were great up there.
You looked beautiful and courageous...
while speaking up there.
Don't try so hard. You don't have to make me feel better.
Let go.
You ended up making a scene after all.
I guess so.
What should I do? I'll be fired for sure.
Companies these days can't fire someone that easily.
Don't even budge.
Of course. Soo Yeon didn't do anything wrong.
I checked with the office. You can rest at home by taking time off.
If you need anything, just tell me. I'll help you.
Are you guys being nice to me because you're my colleagues?
Thank you.
Soo Yeon. It's me, Ye Bin.
Yes, Ye Bin.
What is it?
Did something happen to your mum?
She just woke up.
- Soo Yeon. - Ye Bin.
I saw the news.
Thank you for winning the fight against Dodo Group.
It wasn't me. It's you that won the fight.
All you have to do now is fight off this illness.
You have to get better for Ye Bin.
I will.
In the video revealed by the prosecutor which was sent in...
by Dodo Group's employee,
Do Gwang Woo criminal offence was clearly recorded.
Ji Hye won't be able to dig any deeper into T9 now.
We fabricated the records about T9 being a carcinogen,
and Kang Yong Deok is dead.
You don't have to worry any more.
If you took care of it before Yong Deok confessed,
Congressman Park wouldn't have died.
Why did you make things go this far?
(CEO Do's detailed criminal offence revealed)
It wasn't just about T9 that Yong Deok knew about.
He also knew about my slush fund.
If people find out about that...
Just thinking about it makes me mad.
You need to work harder.
You only came this far because I let you manage my slush fund.
Then you should be working harder.
Isn't that too much?
Why would they release this video?
It's Gwang Woo that's too much.
How embarrassing. I can't lift my head up.
Your brother is going to rot in jail for the next six years.
And you're complaining about being embarrassed?
Deal with that Oh Soo Yeon girl right away.
Yes, Ma'am.
Sir!
- Dad! - Honey!
Chief Secretary Moon, call the doctor right away!
- Dad, wake up! - Hello?
- Doctor Kim. - Oh, no.
- You jerk! - Go rot in prison!
Do they want to die?
Hey! Let me go!
Let me go!
Hey! I'll give you compensation money!
How much do you want?
(We do not carry Dodo Group's T9 products.)
(Dodo Group's products are prohibited.)
Our kids are dying because of Dodo Group's T9!
- Go away! - Go away!
Nationwide boycott against Dodo Group is continuing today.
Its stock and the subsidiaries' stocks continue to plummet.
Meanwhile, Hwang Ji Soo, who won the by-election yesterday,
was said to have played a part in revealing the truth about T9.
Hwang Ji Soo and...
The chairman's health is deteriorating.
It's going to be hectic both in and outside of Dodo Group.
It's the best time for us...
to take over Dodo Group.
How do you mean "to take over"?
Are you curious?
It's hard for me to predict what kind of magic...
you'll perform this time.
Hey, let's go to the office in Mapo.
Sir, I think it's too early to show...
It's okay.
Gi Tan is our family now.
He shouldn't be curious.
This is our secret operations centre...
that works on Dodo Group's stocks.
I think he sold Dodo Group's stocks he had under someone else's name.
It's the fastest way to get cash.
Darn it.
They're playing around with my money.
All we have to work on now is find a way to steal those stocks.
I assume you're working with someone else's name.
Of course.
Dodo Group shouldn't find out about our identity.
All of those bad comments and tabloids on Dodo Group...
are made right here.
They're like an army made for an online war.
People tend to pay more attention...
to bad news.
We're taking advantage of that tendency.
Right now, we're trying to sell...
all of our Dodo Group stocks.
It'll make the investors nervous...
which in turn will make them sell their stocks.
No wonder Dodo Group's stocks have been falling.
If they continue to plummet,
Dodo Group's stocks will be as low as it was 10 years ago.
That's when we will start buying all of them.
When do you plan on doing this?
We'll have to finish it off sometime next week.
Then are you using all your money from selling Sudo Hospital...
on this?
According to my cousin, I hear it was about 50 million dollars.
Did Chae Ryung...
say anything else?
What do you mean?
I wouldn't dare...
get into this world with the money I have.
How many fake accounts...
are the dealers using with the 50 million dollars?
Don't try to know too much. You'll get a headache.
You'll come here often now.
He'll explain it all to you one by one.
Okay.
If Il Jae is using your money,
how will you get it back?
- With a fake account. - A fake account?
We can switch his fake accounts...
with our fake accounts.
Then that money will come straight to us.
Is that possible?
Those dealers...
think that I'm Il Jae's right hand.
I'll go there often and make them trust me.
That's my specialty.
Just let me know when you need me.
First, we need to make fake accounts.
Okay.
But when do you plan on doing the switch?
The day Il Jae plans on eating up Dodo Group...
will be our day.
Don't worry, Dong Soo.
I will protect you no matter what it takes.
Here.
What?
Here.
Guk Cheol.
Mum.
Father.
I will get my revenge...
for you two.
Please wait and see...
how I get my revenge on Byun Il Jae...
who ruined our family.
Let's go.
I'm afraid you'll get caught by Il Jae whenever you come here.
It's my mum's birthday today.
So please...
let me be.
What is this?
I trusted you.
What's going on?
What is that?
(Dodo Group's Extraordinary Shareholders Meeting)
I am sorry to have kept you waiting.
Chairman should be here, but he's currently ill.
Hey, Mr Go!
Are you telling us to deal with this kid?
How can you bring out a young kid like her...
when the times are like this?
Excuse me, stockholders.
I am not a kid.
And I am old enough.
- So what? - What's your plan?
If Do Gwang Woo made a mess,
your family should take care of it!
We will take care of this.
Why are you yelling at me and ruining my mood?
- Excuse me, Miss. - Will you listen to that?
"That"?
Am I an object?
Goodness. I am sorry.
Please apologise, Miss.
That called me "that" first.
Hey!
Go tell Do Choong to come here immediately!
How dare you throw this at me?
Hey, get down from there right now!
How dare you point at me? You're not the only one with fingers!
- Get out of there! - You!
- Please, stop! - Come down!
Come down here!
Come up here! Come up!
- Miss, please. - I'll get you!
- Get her! - Bring her down!
- What's wrong with you all? - Bring her down here!
She just added fuel to the fire.
My gosh, what a great job.
Are you making a mess in your brother's place?
They started pointing and cursing at me first.
- I'm not here to take that. - I don't care. Be quiet.
You must take a special measure, Sir.
What is this special measure?
Well...
Are you eating your words?
Why did you stop in the middle of a sentence?
Chairman can make a public apology.
Are you asking Chairman to bow his head as an apology?
There is no one else who can take care of this situation.
Do you not know him?
He's never bowed his head to anyone in his life.
Do you think this will stop...
if I make a public apology?
And tell the public that your son won't make an appeal.
If you don't look sincere, it'll only worsen.
Chief Secretary Moon, are you insane?
If we do not make an appeal,
Gwang Woo will become an old man in the prison!
I am sorry, but if you do not remove rotten flesh because of the pain,
your entire body will end up rotting.
Stop speaking!
Learn your manners.
Tae Gwang is right.
Honey.
Call the reporters...
immediately.
You're still ill, Sir. Will you be all right?
We are fighting by the seconds.
Shin Young, you should get prepared, too.
Prepared for what?
Are you making me apologise with you?
It's your face on Dodo Group's commercial.
If we are going to apologise,
we must get everything we can out of it.
(Dodo Group's Public Apology)
I sincerely apologise...
to everyone who has been disappointed in us...
through this incident...
and especially for those of you affected by this incident.
I deeply feel that we are fully responsible...
for this T9 incident.
And I do not plan to make an appeal for my son, Do Gwang Woo.
We will make sure we stop the production of T9 products...
and will recall all products in the market.
I promise to fully compensate...
everyone who was affected by this incident.
Everyone,
criticise us as much as you want until your anger is lifted.
I am deeply sorry with all my heart.
I can't believe the Great Do Choong actually bowed down.
If he had given into you, he probably didn't have to do that.
Come on.
They are running a bit late.
I'm not sure.
Are we expecting someone?
There they are.
I see.
(Kim Dae Woo, CEO of A Defence Industry)
(Hong Gi Soo, CEO of B Defence Industry)
(Choi Ji Man, CEO of C Defence Industry)
Welcome.
I should've went to you first.
I am sorry to trouble you.
I haven't seen them before. Who are they?
They helped us a lot through this whole incident.
Nice to meet you, Sir. I am Kang Gi Tan.
- I am Ok Chae Ryung. - There's not much time.
- Let's go in. - This way, Sir.
He used to be a general.
He now has a company in the defence industry.
Congressman Hwang is rather polite to them.
Do Choong is the one who got him into politics,
but it's those men who made him into a presidential candidate.
Do you want me to lend you cash?
I don't have enough to purchase all of Dodo Group's stocks.
You're right. Do Choong is all about cash.
Mr Byun, of course I can get you cash.
When is the D-day?
It will probably be some time next week.
If you sneak out Dodo Group's stocks,
does that mean we will get its defence industry company?
Your companies will more than double in their sizes.
He's talking about doubling our companies. Money isn't the problem.
I will get them for you. Don't you worry.
Thank you, Sir.
There has been an accident in the army.
I heard mine detectors are causing troubles.
Yes, they are our products.
Mr Hwang,
you must cover this up.
Don't worry.
- Why don't we make a toast? - All right.
For the future of Korea.
- Cheers! - Cheers!
Those people gathered...
to make Congressman Hwang Jae Man into a president, right?
Many of these accidents in the army were...
probably caused by corruptions in army provision.
Corruptions in army provision?
Hwang Jae Man has been covering up these accidents,
and they have been enlarging their businesses to give him money.
If this is about the army, we can't handle it.
Let's forget about it and focus on getting back our money from Il Jae.
I can't watch him succeed.
I have to stop him from taking over Dodo Group.
Gi Tan, how long are you going to be tied down by the past?
Can you get me two unregistered phones?
What do you need them for?
He's not someone the police or the prosecutors can handle.
I have to bring in someone who can put up a fight.
Who is that?
Chairman Do.
Chairman Do?
Do Choong and Hwang Jae Man...
Don't you think it'll be an interesting fight?
What? What do you mean, cancel the appeal?
Are you telling me...
to rot here for six years?
Things are looking bad.
Why else would the chairman decide on this for his only son?
Enough.
Just tell Mum to get me out.
If she doesn't, I'll hang myself and die in here.
Please. Just hang in there for now.
When things quiet down, the chairman will try to figure something out.
Oh Soo Yeon...
What happened to that witch?
She took a few days off, but she'll be back soon.
She took days off?
- Why isn't she fired yet? - If we fire her now,
everyone will be criticising the chairman.
It doesn't matter if people swear at us. Just get rid of her.
And as soon as she's fired,
report to me on what she's doing every now and then.
What?
Why do you need that for?
I'll go see her when I get out.
I have a huge debt to pay back.
Hello.
Hello, good morning.
You have thick skin.
How can you think about coming to work after what you did?
Get lost. I have to work.
It's you who should get lost.
- You can't sit there any more. - What do you mean?
That desk over there is your new spot.
What are you guys doing? Help me.
Hey. Oh Soo Yeon!
What kind of reports are these?
You told me before that they were well-written.
Are you saying that I'm deliberately picking on you?
If you can't stand it, just quit.
Why would you stick around and make things bad for all of us?
Rewrite all of them before you go home today.
No one is allowed to help.
Understand?
Soo Yeon.
Come to my office.
(Cheers to Oh Soo Yeon who revealed about Dodo Group's T9!)
"She's the only Dodo Group worker with a conscience."
"Big applause to Soo Yeon for her courage."
"Good luck, Soo Yeon."
You'll join the national assembly at this rate.
Meanwhile, my brother is seen as trash and rotting in jail.
I won't beat around the bush. Hand in your resignation letter.
I can't do that.
Are you trying to say...
that you're innocent?
I checked with the Ministry of Employment and Labor.
- I didn't do anything to get fired. - Soo Yeon.
I'm saying this for your own good.
You should volunteer to leave...
before something bad happens to you.
I can't leave.
I'm sorry.
Why doesn't she get it?
Hello, Ma'am.
What brings you here?
Where is Oh Soo Yeon right now?
I'll show you in.
Soo Yeon.
Aren't you having lunch?
I'm not hungry.
I wonder if you can finish them all today.
I can't believe how persistent you are.
Good luck.
There are a lot of people cheering you on. Good luck.
My goodness. Thanks.
Bring some food for Soo Yeon on your way back.
Ma'am.
- Tae Gwang. - Yes.
I told you to get her resignation letter. What's taking so long?
Why are you making me come all the way here?
I'm sorry.
Are you saying that you can't leave?
I'm sorry.
How dare you put my son in a ditch...
and expect to work and make money?
Are you shameless or dumb?
People often say that we abuse our power,
but that's because of people like you.
When we treat you nicely, you go crazy and stab our backs.
Pull her out and get her out of my sight.
Let go of me. Ma'am.
Ma'am. Ma'am.
Let go!
I said, let go!
I'm sorry.
I shouldn't have told you to come to work.
It's not your fault.
They shouldn't hate you, too. Go back in.
I'm the one who hates them.
I'll punish them for you.
Thank you for everything.
Why are you saying that? Is this a goodbye?
No way. I still have to pay you back.
You don't have to pay me back.
Don't say that. I hate being in debt to someone.
- I'll be going. - Are you really all right?
Of course.
I have no time to be sad.
I need to find a new job.
Go on in.
Is there any way we can bring her back?
Thanks to her,
we got rid of Gwang Woo without dirtying our hands.
We should compensate her.
We have no time to waste on someone like her.
Soon, I will start purchasing Dodo Group's stocks.
What for?
Once the chairman acknowledges you as his son,
he will give you a share.
Your share in the company plus the shares I purchase...
will be enough to oust Chairman Do from his office.
You can move in as the next chairman, then.
You wouldn't help me for nothing in return.
Isn't that what you want?
I'm planning to get into politics.
Politics?
I'll use my father-in-law as a stepping stone...
to reach the highest point of power in Korea.
You can help me then.
Wouldn't that be great?
You will own a great company, and I'll have all the power I want.
You dream really big.
The bigger the dream, the bigger the pieces even if it shatters.
I'll think about...
becoming Chairman if my political dream doesn't pan out.
He doesn't care...
about my dream at all.
Where on earth are these scandalous rumours about Dodo...
originating from?
We're looking into that.
Our stock prices are plummeting because of these rumours!
Find out immediately.
Yes, Sir.
Come in.
A parcel for you just arrived.
Who sent it?
It doesn't say.
Open it.
It's a phone.
I'll answer it.
Don't you want to know...
who is threatening your company?
Who are you?
Who I am isn't important.
Who is ruining your company?
That's the real issue.
Do you think I'd fall for a prank call like this?
Do Gwang Woo is rotten and is a lost cause.
If you don't cut off a rotten branch,
the whole tree will die.
His slush fund alone isn't enough to get rid of him,
but that and the T9 scandal...
will be enough to put him out of the running to inherit Dodo.
Do you still think this is a prank?
What is it...
that you want?
Your share prices are falling...
because Byun Il Jae is manipulating it.
Very soon, he will start buying them.
I'll call when I have the exact date.
Before I do, you cannot let him know that you know.
I will be the one to call you.
Talk soon.
Who was it?
Didn't you say someone on the prosecutor's team helped us?
Investigator Kim?
Call him.
Find out if the person who put Gwang Woo in prison...
is Byun Il Jae.
Do you think he planned all this?
The call was a tip. Look into it.
Yes, Sir.
Tae Gwang was a step too late.
I'm glad I sent Kim abroad like you had told me to.
Do Choong might try to locate and contact him.
So make sure he can't.
What's going on?
Do Choong seems to have noticed something about the trial was off.
Shouldn't you take a step back, then?
The investigator moved abroad, so they can't pin it on us.
Keep an eye on the chairman for me.
Find out what he seems to know.
Yes, Sir.
Are you sure it was Il Jae's voice?
It was. I'm sure of it.
The investigator's missing. I think we should believe the tip.
What about our stocks?
Prices dropped even further today.
Why do you think he's helping me?
He didn't reveal his identity.
Perhaps he expects a payment.
I told you to locate Yoon Ja Young's son.
Have you found him?
I sent a member of my team to the US.
I should hear back soon.
I asked you to find Ja Young's son. Haven't you found him yet?
I apologise.
I was busy dealing with Gwang Woo's case.
Do you know that my husband is trying to find him right now?
He had Chief Secretary Moon send one of his team.
We have to get to him first.
I will do something about that immediately.
With Gwang Woo in prison,
if her son joins our family...
It gives me a headache.
I don't even want to think about it.
Anyway,
find him quickly.
What was that about?
Chairman Do...
is having people look for you.
Then the reason Yoo Sung Ae's in US...
She was sent to look for Gun Woo.
You got rid of every record about me.
Call our US contact and have them release Gun Woo's personal files.
You can contact my high school classmate.
(New Jersey)
Jessica?
Yes. Hi.
Hi. Thanks for making time.
No problem.
So you went to high school with Steve, am I right?
Yes, but we weren't that close.
Can you tell me anything about him?
I brought our yearbook. Would you like to see it?
Yes, sure.
Do Gun Woo?
Monitor the stock prices...
and type up a report on the media coverage.
Speak.
I located Chairman Do's son.
Well done.
Have you heard about our current situation?
Yes, but Chairman Do's son is...
I don't have much time to talk. Send me an email.
And...
Things aren't looking too good.
So don't tell anyone that you found him.
I won't, Sir.
Do Gun Woo is...
the chairman's son?
Are you very busy?
You're rarely in your office.
Chief Secretary.
The chairman is very displeased, so there's a lot to do.
Serve him well.
His health seems to be deteriorating.
(Moon Tae Gwang)
Yoon Ja Young's son...
I found your younger son.
Is he doing well in America?
He's actually living in Korea.
He doesn't have...
any families in Korea.
He works at Dodo Group.
You know him.
He's Do Gun Woo, one of my team's new hires this year.
He is...
Ja Young's son?
I'm positive.
Tell me all that you know about him.
He came first in the written exam.
Kang Gi Tan did better in training, so he came third overall.
His mother was very smart.
She gave him a Korean name with "woo" in it.
She wanted me...
to acknowledge him as my son.
Il Jae looked out for Gun Woo from the very start.
Now we know Il Jae is a traitor,
I think...
you should be wary about him.
Do you think he took part in Il Jae's schemes?
I think there is a possibility.
There is still time.
I'll make up my mind after meeting him.
Will you see him now?
After work.
Away from the office.
(Resume)
You might as well do some work for me.
All you do is write and send out resumes.
Please bring in a case worth working on. I'd love to work.
Then do some cleaning.
Answer the phone.
I'm busy. You answer it.
Gosh.
I should get paid, not you.
Hello, this is Mr Min's office.
Oh Soo Yeon?
A magazine wants to interview you about the T9 scandal.
I don't want to.
She quit.
I can't help if she won't answer her phone. Bye.
Wow, you're a national star.
How many interview requests were those so far?
Are you leaving already?
I have four part-time jobs today.
Print out my resume for me. Bye.
Okay, bye.
All this trouble just to look after a sick brother...
Min Byung Ho speaking.
- It's Kang Gi Tan. - Hello, how are you?
Soo Yeon won't answer her phone.
She'll be cleaning some office building right now.
After that, she hands out flyers.
After that, I think she works at a restaurant.
- Coming. - Where's our meat?
- I'm sorry. - Our food's not here yet.
Why does she work so many part-time jobs?
Her brother has a rare disease.
A rare disease?
His treatments cost thousands of dollars a month.
It's up to her to come up with the money.
That's why she works so hard.
Okay.
- Do you need anything? - You.
Take the order for table 19.
Right away.
Sorry. I didn't see you come in.
Gi Tan.
Gosh, I'm starving.
Bring me the best cut you have.
I'll do it.
No, let me. The owner's watching.
- Have you eaten? - I'll eat at home later.
Eat this.
I can't eat customers' food.
I had to fight to get this job.
Hello?
The owner just went outside.
You're such a bother.
Give me a bigger piece then. This one. This one's huge.
Here.
Is this what it tastes like?
It's so good.
When do you get off?
Why? Are you going to wait?
Don't bother. I have another job to go to.
- What job? - Driving for hire.
Miss, can we have more meat?
Coming right up.
Enjoy the food. Thanks for the meat.
Did you call for a driver?
Did you call me?
You didn't drink.
Do I have to drink to hire a driver?
Give me your key.
Where are we?
It's my neighbourhood.
I found the right place then. I guessed based on your address.
I feel bad that you did the driving.
It's fine.
Where do you live? I'll drop you off.
No, don't. I can walk from here.
Here's your pay.
Can I take this?
I took up your time.
You're so generous.
Take care.
What? Do you have something to say?
I should charge you 25 dollars.
You got five dollars off.
Don't do this again.
I don't like being in your debt all the time.
Take care, friend.
"Friend"?
We aren't colleagues any more.
Bye.
"Friend"?
I don't like that word.
It's not time yet.
Remember this.
You met me after you joined the company.
We never met before then.
Okay?
Yes, Sir.
Have you thought of what to say to impress the chairman?
To be honest,
my mind has gone blank.
It's simple.
You yearned for a father for 30 years.
And today, you finally get to meet him.
Be polite and obedient. Say things you think will appease him.
Say you missed him.
And don't forget to call him "Father".
I'm not sure about that.
Once I finally see him,
who knows what I'll say?
Think about...
how your mother died.
You can do this.
I'll try, Sir.
How did you...
end up in Korea?
Did Byun Il Jae bring you over?
I hoped that...
the first thing you'd ask would be about my mother.
I heard about...
what happened to her.
She's dead.
She hung herself while I was out.
I wanted...
to tell you that myself.
Why did you look for me?
Why...
did you join Dodo Group?
I was curious.
I wanted to know about my father.
Was that it?
I was angry and blamed you.
I could give you over 100 reasons.
Now, it's your turn to talk.
Why...
did you look for me?
I...
wanted to see you.
You may have 100 reasons to want to see me,
but I have only one.
I just wanted to see you.
You are a capable, young man.
That is enough for me.
Don't forget to call him "Father".
Think about how your mother died.
You can do this.
Father.
Can I call you that?
I wanted to call someone that.
That is...
one of the reasons I'm here.
Until I can find you an appropriate position,
you should stop working for a while.
I want to continue working.
It's your phone, Sir.
This isn't my ringtone.
(Unknown)
It's the informant.
Where are you?
I'm eating dinner.
I'll text you an address. Come over.
Right now?
Yes. You must come alone.
If you don't do as I say,
you will never get to meet me.
It's up to you.
(Youngdang Cathedral, Jiheung-gu)
You cannot go there alone.
I'll have my team secure the perimeter.
Whoever this person is,
we all know that the future of my company is in his hands.
I'll go alone.
That is final.
I have to leave early.
I'm done eating.

Listen to me very carefully.
These CEOs in the defence industry are helping Hwang Jae Man.
Hwang covers up their corruption and scandals,
and they fund his campaigns. It's a symbiotic relationship.
Byun Il Jae is using their money to buy your shares...
so that he can take over the management.
Who on earth...
are you?
You don't need to know.
My company's future hangs in the balance.

If you don't trust me,

the same could happen.
If you won't tell me who you are,
I will not work with you.
I'm Kang Gi Tan.
You...
(Monster)
This is the last warning. Do not upset me.
Here's your tip.
Thanks for looking out for me.
You should thank us properly, like any restaurant employee would.
What happened to Oh Soo Yeon?
Yang Dong Yi knows a few good men.
Hire them.
To hurt her, you mean?
There will be no trace by tomorrow morning.
I'm on my way right now! Please, wait for me!
