(Episode 16)
Who on earth...
are you?
You don't need to know.
My company's future hangs in the balance.
I can't entrust it to someone I don't know anything about.
If you don't trust me,
you will end up in ruins.
If I trust you,
the same could happen.
If you won't tell me who you are,
I will not work with you.
This is Kang Gi Tan.
You...
I apologise for surprising you.
There was no reason for you...
to hide your identity from me.
Why did you...
- have to go this far? - Currently,
I'm seen as Il Jae's right hand.
Are you saying that...
you have been helping him up until now?
In order to buy his favour,
I had no other choice.
How much do you want from me?
There must be a reason you're walking on a tightrope.
If it's not money,
is it power you're looking for?
The only thing I want...
is Byun Il Jae's downfall.
For a long time, I prayed that he would be punished...
for all his wrongdoings and fall to his doom.
But my prayers haven't been answered.
So I decided to punish him with my own hands.
What do you have...
against him?
What kind of grudge do you hold against him...
that you're going this far?
I can't tell you right now.
Why can't you tell me?
That's because I don't trust you.
- What? - I told you to come alone,
but I see that you brought someone with you.
What are you talking about?
I came here alone.
Gun Woo?
I'm sorry.
We couldn't just send you alone.
I suggested Tae Gwang that we shadow you.
I think it would be best for you to go home for the day.
I'm not finished talking with you.
I'll come to your office tomorrow.
Did you...
meet him?
Who was the informant?
Kang Gi Tan.
Kang Gi Tan...
from the Secretary's Office?
Yes.
He was the informant.
(Dodo Group)
Gi Tan.
I think there's an informant in contact with the chairman.
Are you sure about that?
Yes. I heard it myself.
I talked to the chairman yesterday.
If it's an informant, that must mean that we have a traitor.
We shouldn't jump into conclusions.
It could be a person from a third group.
Since you're in the Secretary's Office,
check up on the chairman's movements as often as possible.
Yes, Sir.
Why did you see the chairman yesterday?
How dare you ask about what the chairman does?
I'm wondering if you're the informant.
Is that so? I was suspecting you.
You should watch what you say.
Gi Tan.
Stop running around like a headless chicken...
just because Director Byun likes you.
I have limited patience.
I thought it was quiet for a while,
but your delusions must have started again.
This is my last warning.
Don't annoy me.
Move that hand.
I said, don't irritate me.
Gi Tan!
Apologise to Gun Woo.
What?
But, Sir.
- This crazy guy... - Watch your mouth!
He's the chairman's son.
Chief Secretary,
you shouldn't tell people yet.
My staff should know.
Fine.
Go ahead. Apologise to me.
I'll be generous with you.
You're disgusting.
What?
I don't care who your father is. We're still colleagues.
I'll treat you the same until you become someone higher than me.
All right.
When I'm at a higher position than you,
I'll make sure to treat you right.
You can look forward to it.
- Gi Tan. - What happened?
He was thrown away since he's a child outside of marriage.
The chairman found him recently.
The one that tailed Chairman Do last night was him.
- What? - Il Jae and him are in it together.
Once the chairman takes Gun Woo in as his son,
it'll be Il Jae who takes over Dodo Group.
I don't like Gun Woo either,
but I can't tell the chairman this.
You have to persuade him!
It's obvious what they're trying to do.
I'll look for my chance and take it slowly.
If we tell him now, it might have a negative impact.
Let's go. The chairman's waiting.
How much can Il Jae gather up?
It's at least 50 million dollars.
We can't predict his maximum amount.
By that, you don't mean...
it could go up to hundreds of millions, do you?
I hope not.
I underestimated Hwang Jae Man.
I thought he was someone...
who wouldn't be able to move if it wasn't for my money.
The people supporting him...
are CEOs of defence industries.
They will have a limit to how much they can gather up.
How much...
can we gather up by next week?
It's a complicated process to move around a large sum.
It'll be a fight against time.
Do everything you can to get as much as possible.
We have to stand up against them.
Yes, Sir.
I was hoping we would...
keep this as a secret from Gun Woo.
Il Jae...
will be gone with time.
I'll take care of Gun Woo, so don't worry.
Gi Tan.
You better watch how you treat me.
You'll regret it.
At least they recognised my talents.
But how do you manage to stick around Director Byun?
I'm not the one sticking around.
It's him who's sticking onto me.
He's the chairman's son.
Do Gun Woo. If you get in my way,
I won't forgive you either.
I'll be there soon.
All right.
Tonight's supper will be the most glamourous one in your life.
Chairman's wife wants to find Gun Woo. Will he be all right?
Are you worried?
You know very well about her temper.
I am done trying to humour those people.
I am a different man now.
Don't worry.
You should've told us if we were going to have guests.
I would've asked for special dishes.
I was abruptly called by Chairman, too.
But one of those seats is for Director Byun, right?
Who's the other one?
I'm sorry we're late.
It's okay, have a seat.
Take a seat.
Hey, how dare you sit here?
What is going on right now?
Say hello.
Hello, I am Do Gun Woo.
Who is this man?
Why do you ask? You know him, too.
He's an underling in our company.
He is your brother.
What are you talking about?
Gwang Woo isn't here.
He's my son.
Honey.
I have no other son than Gwang Woo.
He's not your son.
He's my son.
He's my child.
Dad.
I called everyone who had to know about him.
After this supper, Do Gun Woo openly becomes my son.
So whether you are at work or at home,
treat him with respect.
Get out of here right now.
How bold of you.
Who do you think you are?
Get out of my house!
If anyone has to get out,
you can go.
He's Yoon Ja Young's son!
Are you really determined to take him in?
Let's eat first.
Will you really let that vicious witch's blood...
walk into this house?
Mum.
What have you been doing?
Why didn't you do anything to stop this from happening?
Chairman found him first, so I couldn't stop him.
You could've at least told me before you came!
You know as well as I do that my life hangs by a thread.
Chairman...
put this together on purpose.
He called his employees so that I can't get out of this.
This is a method often used by Chairman.
I won't...
back down like this.
Go and get...
Do Gun Woo right now.
Did you hear me?
Go and get him right now!
What is going on?
Where did that weird guy come from?
Wow, all of these are wine bottles.
This is very expensive, too.
What are you doing?
That's not how you should talk to your brother.
Do you want to die?
I don't care if you are my dad's son,
but you won't be my brother.
- Shin Young. - "Shin Young"?
You'd be much prettier if you talked more nicely.
Stop trying to pull things and get out of here.
What are you looking at?
What are you doing?
Your mascara smudged.
My sister is pretty.
You psycho.
You were here.
Madam is looking for you.
My mum is going to get you.
You look sly just like your mother.
Do you know...
how your mother was shunned from this place?
The chairman played with her for a while then threw her out.
He even knew she had his child, but he was just bored with her.
That's who your father is.
He is a cold-blooded man.
She missed my father until the day she passed away.
- What? - From what I know,
the chairman loved my mum more than he loved you.
You have...
no idea what this place is, do you?
Of course, you don't.
That's why you jumped in like a bug not knowing you'll burn to death.
If you were looking for a fortune, you are highly mistaken.
I can drive someone like you out...
after draining every single drop of blood you have...
if I set my mind to it.
Do you think I can't do that?
Get out of here. I'm telling you out of pity.
If you don't, your life will become more miserable than your mum's.
You said that I took after my mum.
I did.
You look just like your mum.
Even your sly looks are the same.
No, I look nothing like her.
What?
Unlike her, I will never get thrown out by someone.
I am glad that I came here.
What an impudent brat.
Make sure you write awful things. Excuse me, ladies.
Make up something really awful.
Write about how the chairman has another son.
That's right, it's dropping.
(Dodo Pharmaceutical, Dodo Chemicals, Dodo Kitchen)
Hello, everyone. Have some snacks.
- My gosh. - Thank you.
You didn't have to bring this.
You must eat well when you use your brain.
- Have some, everyone. - Thank you.
- What is it?
Thank you.
Wow, it's still dropping.
At this rate, we can start our plan a little bit earlier.
Are your bullets fully reloaded?
I will receive hundreds of millions in a couple of days.
You must go somewhere in my place this afternoon.
My father-in-law is having lunch with newspaper company directors.
There, you two must do something for me.
Why is he meeting directors of newspaper companies?
He must handle some civil affairs if he wants to raise funds.
I heard mine detectors are causing troubles.
Yes, they are our products.
Mr Hwang,
you must cover this up.
What is the army about?
It's where soldiers use weapons and get trained.
But if it's in the headlines every time something happens,
how can any parent send their son to the army?
Are you talking about the recent mine explosion incident?
We plan on putting it out as a feature on our paper.
We're covering it as well.
Our citizens are very interested in this subject.
We can't avoid it.
Well, it's your job to deal with the news.
I'm just talking about the reality.
As you know, Congressman Park used to be a member of the NDC.
Commanding officers at the front would often come visit him...
to talk about their worries.
The food will get cold if we talk too long.
I...
wish you would take out that news.
We're in the middle of writing it.
It'll put our reporters in a difficult position.
I don't know if that's possible.
Let's have a drink while we talk.
Let me pour you a glass, Chief Editor Kim.
I'd be honoured.
I have to visit the men's room.
I don't think we've met before.
Congressman Park asked me to forward this to you.
He gave me his autobiography before.
I wonder what kind of surprise he has in store for me.
What about the keys?
All of them took them.
They all ended up not writing about it.
Why did they act so high and mighty?
- Yes, it's me. - How did it go?
Did you stop the media?
You won't be able to find it tomorrow no matter how hard you try.
Good job.
We're going to get some maeuntang and soju.
Do you want to come?
I'll join you next time.
- What about your promise? - Oh, the cash?
Of course, I'll help you.
Come visit me in about two days.
Okay.
Good work today, Gi Tan.
No problem.
Hwang Jae Man is a mastermind.
(Hwang Jae Man)
Did you bring a car?
Yes.
Although he moves around large sums...
of money for lobbying, he never leaves a trace.
Because in reality, there's only 100 dollars coming out of his pocket.
No wonder he has such an innocent public image.
Even with me, he never gives me cash directly.
He'll use two other people along the way to pass it onto me.
What if we reveal what we know?
If you want me to get arrested, go ahead.
That means it's impossible to catch him red-handed...
during the lobbying process.
If you want to get your money back,
we have to cut him off from his cash sources.
How are we going to do this?
When you're hunting a tiger,
you should at least send out a bear.
What do you mean?
If Byun Il Jae has Hwang Jae Man,
I have Chairman Do.
What will happen if that news is out to the public?
Hwang Jae Man's sources will stop supporting him.
Who were the chief editors that he met with?
Chief Editor of Bando Daily and the other top five daily presses.
I got their business cards from Gi Tan.
Out of the five,
whom should we target?
We have quite a few employees at Hansung Daily.
I'll give a call to the CEO.
You can meet with them to sort it out.
Yes, Sir.
Are you Chief Secretary Moon Tae Gwang?
Yes, that's me.
- I'm Editor Park of Hansung Daily. - Please sit down.
I already got the call from the chairman.
"Corruption Behind Army Supplies Revealed By Mine Explosion".
That's the title for Hansung Daily's first page tomorrow.
Mr Moon,
we've already came to an agreement about that.
Here is the press release we prepared.
It's the suspicious relationship of a politician and defence industries.
I'm afraid this is putting me in a tough spot.
Chief Editor Park.
Do you not know how much...
Dodo Group pays your press for advertisements?
Of course, I know.
Do you want me to reveal to the world how much...
you received from Congressman Hwang?
You'll see what will really...
put you on the spot if we don't see this news...
on your first page tomorrow.
You've got yourself a nice bear to fight off the tiger.
Once the article goes out, Hwang Jae Man, Byun Il Jae...
and their supporters...
will face an internal strife.
I hear Chairman Do's son outside of marriage...
is your piece of work.
Yes. I found him in the United States.
Do you plan on putting him in Gwang Woo's position?
I'll make him the successor of Dodo Group.
He's like my avatar.
You never told us any of this.
When did you plan this all out?
I apologise.
I couldn't tell you...
before Chairman Do accepted him as his son.
If Do's blood runs in him,
we never know...
when he'll turn around.
How can we be sure that the kid...
will remain under your thumb?
I know his weakness.
You don't have to worry.
We're in trouble.
Hansung Daily...
printed this on their first page.
What is it?
(Corruption Behind Army Supplies Revealed By Mine Explosion)
What on earth?
Who printed this news?
Yes.
Did you see the paper? You...
What did you do?
I'll find out the details and get back to you.
It's already out! What's the point of finding out the details?
Hey,
Editor Park.
What is this article about?
What? Dodo Group?
So?
Are you saying you're scared of Do Choong,
but not me?
Listen, Chief Editor Park.
You've made...
a huge mistake.
There's no way Dodo Group knows about our plans.
There's a traitor among us.
Whoever it is, catch them.
If we don't, the three of us...
will all be arrested in a row.
The day is coming near.
Please make sure that our sources don't cut off their support.
Dodo Group isn't what's important here!
My life as a politician is in danger!
If we don't take over Dodo Group now,
we may never get the chance again.
Gosh.
Where on earth...
did it go wrong?
I can see...
Jae Man shaking with anger.
You two did a great job.
(Director Byun)
Yes, Sir.
Where are you?
I'm at work.
Come to my office right now.
Yes, Sir.
Director Byun might suspect me as the whistle-blower.
If you ever need me, please call your daughter as well.
I saw the article. What happened?
I think the informant struck again.
It's someone we know.
Who else would know so much about what we do?
I agree.
What's that look about? Do you suspect me?
You're the chairman's son.
Is there a better way than this to gain his approval?
Come on, Gi Tan.
There are many possible outlets.
It could be someone we know or someone from the Mapo office.
One of the chief editors could have let it slip, too.
Kang Ga Din, what are you doing here?
Have you forgotten you're joining us for lunch?
Hello, Cutie.
What?
"Hello"?
"Cutie"?
Your brother's saying hi.
As if you'll ever be my brother.
Talk like that to me at work again and I will kill you.
Let's get going.
I have to go.
Try and find out who the informant is.
I will.
I can't stop thinking he's up to something.
I can't say I don't suspect him at all.
I have a plan, so don't you worry.
Find out who the informant is.
I'm afraid the chairman will find out I'm working with you.
I suspect Gun Woo...
more than Gi Tan.
We have to keep an eye on Gun Woo as well.
Has old age gotten to you?
Why are you so sloppy?
There was a minor mistake.
But it will be cleared up soon.
Haven't you heard?
Congress wants to look into the issue...
and they're putting a team together...
to see who is corrupt.
My father will head that special task force.
Will he?
That would help.
Who will make up the team?
I'll select people who are favourable to our agenda.
Good.
We were soldiers.
It's over if something like this were to ruin our reputations.
I will invite you to meet the team once it's set up.
Persuade them however way you wish.
Don't you worry.
If a war breaks out, I can even persuade a communist.
When will you give us the money you promised?
Are you crazy?
Do you want me to give you money when everyone's watching us?
My husband doesn't have much time, you see.
Let's take care of the pressing issue first.
Stock trade is all about timing.
You know how much this means to Il Jae.
Does he expect to sit down at a feast when a fire is raging?
Father.
Organise a press conference immediately.
I am fully aware that the public suspect...
some companies in the defence industry are corrupt...
and therefore causing trouble.
My party will organise a task force to look into the matter...
and get to the bottom of the widespread issue...
with hopes of eradicating it.
Will you lead this special task force?
If you can think of someone more appropriate,
I'm open to suggestions.
Who do you think is the politician involved in this scandal?
I don't know.
Whoever it is,
now that I'll be investigating,
that person can't get away...
regardless of their reputation or title.
Wait and see.
He causes the mess and volunteers to clean it up?
It's a full on cover-up.
He's bound to slip up when pushed.
He will try to cover everything up.
We need to catch him at it.
That feels lovely. A little lower.
Yes, my thighs.
What's wrong with you two?
Can't you even massage properly?
Who knows?
I might set up a charity for inmates.
9077, you have a visitor.
Mum?
My mum is finally here to see me.
Mum!
Why is it you again and not her?
Things aren't going well,
and there's a complicated family issue.
Like what?
You're troubled enough. I'll tell you another time.
Okay. Sit.
Oh Soo Yeon.
How is she?
She left work to stay at a lawyer's office.
She works four part-time jobs a day.
So she's doing well enough to hire a lawyer?
I wouldn't say she's well-off.
Working four part-time jobs a day...
- is hard work for... - She must earn a fortune...
if she has four jobs.
You don't know much about the outside world.
I just can't forgive that witch.
I need you to punish her for me.
What do you mean?
Don't you know the word?
I want you to get revenge.
To bother her and crush her.
Do you want me to harm her?
No, don't kill her. Just give her a scare.
I'll do the rest when I get out of here.
But how could I...
Yang Dong Yi knows a few good boys.
Hire them.
Yes, Sir.
Just thinking about her...
wakes me up at night out of fury.
I will only be able to sleep soundly...
knowing she's in a hospital.
Welcome.
Have you heard?
One of our colleagues is the chairman's son.
Really? I'd love to know who.
Isn't it obvious?
I bet he has a horrible temper just like our chairman.
Why did they have to come here of all places to eat?
No.
I shouldn't feel embarrassed.
Where is she?
I was told that Soo Yeon works here.
Does she work here?
Yes. I saw her handing out flyers for this restaurant.
Is that why you reserved a table here?
Yes.
Hello, there. Is this a team dinner?
- Soo Yeon. - It's been a while.
You must be loaded if you're eating meat for dinner.
What do you want?
The sirloin here is good and so is the brisket.
We'll have five portions of sirloin. And some beer and soju.
Okay, just you wait. I'll bring you a lot of extra stuff.
You look great in that apron.
I have a figure that would look great in anything.
I'll be back.
Working at a restaurant has made her even worse.
She's shameless.
It's not like you to not drink any alcohol.
Oh, I have to do something later.
Here's your tip. Take it.
Thanks for looking out for a fellow colleague.
What colleague? You no longer work with us.
Are you drunk?
You should thank me properly like a true restaurant employee.
Doesn't the owner here train the employees?
You're so mean.
What did she do to you...
I don't have a grudge. Is it wrong to give her money?
She didn't do anything wrong.
Soo Yeon took it.
Right?
Gun Woo, you're the best.
Are you struggling with finances?
I can help you if you want.
Don't ever come here to eat again.
- What? - Let's not cross paths.
I don't want to see you again.
That's how you can help.
This is her.
She eats and sleeps in a lawyer's office in that building.
Wait here and don't mess up.
(Oh Soo Yeon)
There is no answer. Please leave a message...
She doesn't want to see me again?
She won't even take my call.
It's you, right?
The chairman's son is Do Gun Woo.
It is you.
You're quick.
Call Hong Nan Jeong and ask where Soo Yeon lives.
Are you going to see her?
I wanted to be nice because I owe her.
She insulted me.
Gun Woo.
What are you doing here?
- Soo Yeon. - Why are you here?
Soo Yeon. You...
Hey.
How did he end up here?
I lost a job already,
and now, I lost my bed.
Do you know how to get your money back?
Don't ask.
My head aches enough already.
Do you want to come over?
We can have a drink.
I have to go.
I sense a little rat.
Do you have a tail?
Gi Tan, I think the timing is off.
Let's get the money next time.
I'll call you back.
Where's the toilet?
In the back.
Yes, Director.
No.
I think he's heading home.
Check if he goes inside and pull back.
Yes, Sir.
The informant...
is someone very close.
If it isn't Gi Tan...
(Do Gun Woo)
There is no answer. Please leave a message...
My head...
Why did I come here?
I hope I didn't make any mistakes.
She put me in her bed.
Soo Yeon.
Wake up.
Sleep in your bed.
Goodness.
She sleeps so deeply.
- Il Jae is suspicious of you? - Yes.
Someone followed me tonight.
That's not good.
If you're being watched at such a crucial time...
Are you ready to fight?
Business is declining, so we need time to gather the funds.
The money we have isn't enough.
Let's not wait.
When I tell you to,
start buying Dodo Group shares.
You want us to make the first move?
Il Jae has money problems as well.
Tell me what exactly you are planning.
For this to succeed,
we need to sacrifice someone to gain Il Jae's trust.
It's lunchtime.
- Let's go. - You go ahead. I'll pass.
Hurry back. Not all of you can go.
Once you take over Dodo Group,
do you get a bonus?
Thanks.
Of course, I do.
Mr Byun said he'd give me a huge chunk of money.
Hello?
I have a parcel for you. Where are you?
A parcel?
I'm not expecting any.
Aren't you Kim Woo Seon?
I am, but...
Where's it from?
Hongseong.
Gosh, the old hag sent me more food.
Leave it with security.
Does your mother send you food often?
It's a nuisance because I don't eat it anyway.
Why does she...
Oh, come on.
What now?
What am I supposed to do about the security guard being absent?
Throw it away then! Whatever.
Are you done?
I'll throw away the trash.
- Let me. - You have to work.
You bought it for me, didn't you?
(Chief Secretary Moon Tae Gwang)
Hello?
Let me see...
Sir!
I found the informant.
Who is it?
He was so close.
It's Kim Woo Seon.
Kim Woo Seon?
Did you see that?
I noticed his name on Chief Secretary Moon's phone.
You should check if it's him.
Let's go to Mapo.
Hello, Sir.
Woo Seon, give me your phone.
Why would you want to see my phone?
What's this about?
(Recent Contacts)
(Chief Secretary Moon Tae Gwang)
(Kim Woo Seon)
It's Il Jae.
Take it.
Woo Seon, you did very well.
I heard that Byun suspects someone on his team.
Take extra care until it's all over.
Take him outside.
What's wrong, Sir?
Sir! Sir!
Whom did you talk to? Sir!
Chairman Do knows everything.
I need the money now.
Okay, then. Thank you, Mr Hwang.
What happened to Kim Woo Seon?
We'll keep an eye on him until everything's done.
We have to set up new accounts with new names.
The stock market will close tomorrow as it's the weekend.
Have it set up before Monday.
- Yes, Sir. - How many do you need?
At least 30.
I apologise. I should have tracked him down sooner.
It could have been worse if it weren't for you.
Well done.
Borrowed accounts?
Can you get over 30?
I need them by Monday.
I already have everything set up.
You need authentication certificates to set them up.
We'll get the same USB flash drives to store ours in.
You'll swap theirs with yours...
and make Il Jae use your accounts?
As soon as he transfers the funds to the new accounts,
they'll become ours.
How much do you think that'll be?
I don't know exactly.
Whether it's all or part of it,
I'm getting my money back and that's what matters.
It's next week.
I will get the money we need next Thursday.
That's the D-day, then.
It'll be a historic day. We shall take over Dodo Group.
But why is he here?
He did us a great favour.
Once you get an executive position, you will need his help.
I don't need his help.
I'll resign before then.
Don't act like kids.
We'll do great things together.
Put your emotions aside.
Come in.
Sir, the charnel called.
Guk Cheol's parents' contract has expired.
We won't extend the contract. They can throw the ashes out.
Yes, Sir.
Who is Lee Guk Cheol?
Don't ask.
He was a loser who killed his own parents.
I should go, Sir.
Go where? Stay for a drink.
I forgot about a team meeting.
