(Episode 18)
I think I can get the rest of my money back.
Wait at Hongrim Junction.
And smash into my car.
Don't hit the brakes. Hit me.
Stop, Gi Tan!
Gi Tan, stop!
Gi Tan.
Gi Tan, wake up.
Let's go!
Gi Tan.
Gi Tan!
We have to go!
There has been a car accident.
It's near Hongrim Junction.
- Gi Tan. - Goodness.
Gi Tan.
My goodness.
Hello?
- What happened? - Hello?
Excuse me, are you okay?
- Call 911. - Excuse me.
- Hello? - Open your eyes.
- Hey. - There's a car accident.
Your call has been forwarded...
Why wouldn't he pick up?
- Did something happen? - Please, move.
Excuse us.
Hi!
We did it.
Great job.
- Good job. - Thank you, Sir.
But I don't see our man of the day here.
Gi Tan is probably with Il Jae right now.
We've taken care of urgent matters.
We just have to clean up the mess.
Fire Il Jae.
Yes, Sir.
Chairman just succeeded in raising his stocks again.
(Director Byun)
Your call has been forwarded to an automated voice...
Why isn't he picking up?
Your call has been forwarded to an automated...
Chairman would like to see you.
Since when were you acquainted with Il Jae?
I met him for the first time at this company, Sir.
I heard...
you two have a very special bond.
He was very friendly from the beginning.
Only later did I find out that he already knew about my background.
If you want to be my son,
you have to break your bond with him.
It's nothing that I have to deliberately break up.
That's what you may think, but that's not his case.
He approached you with a motive.
You could be right.
From now on,
you only have to depend on me and receive my approval.
If you do that,
your future is guaranteed.
He has no idea.
I used Il Jae to get my mum's revenge.
Gi Tan, are you okay?
What happened to Il Jae?
I thought you'd ask for money, not him.
Did he...
die?
He's in the next room.
I don't think he's conscious yet.
Woo, show me the money.
Look, here is your money.
Be careful.
Be thankful that you only broke a couple of ribs.
You should be more careful.
You almost died.
You said he is...
next door, right?
Dream your dreams...
with Dodo Group.
(Dodo Group)
Who... Who are you?
Please... Please do not let go.
Save me, please.
Drop dead, Byun Il Jae.
Save me, please.
Honey.
Director.
Where are we?
The hospital.
You almost died in a car accident.
I can't stay here. I have to go to my office.
Honey.
I have to take down Do Choong and get Dodo Group...
Everything is over!
We lost the stock war.
- Where's the money? - What money?
The money I withdrew from the bank.
Did you withdraw it?
No one said anything about money in your car.
Get my money!
Honey, please calm down!
I have to find my money!
I worked so hard for it! I have to get my money!
- Honey. - You need to calm down.
- Let me go! - Honey.
- Calm down. - Let me go!
- You have to calm down. - I have to find my money!
- Let go! - Please, calm down.
Who took the money then?
It must be Oh Choong Dong.
Choong Dong?
He switched the borrowed-name accounts and disappeared.
He's also the only one that knew about the money...
other than Director Byun.
Why would he...
do that?
It's a total of 50 million dollars that went missing.
Would there be any better reason?
Why am I locked in?
Anyone there?
Who are you?
Anyone there?
Hey!
Answer me!
Shouldn't we let him go before Il Jae reports to the police?
He won't be able to report him.
He knows all of Il Jae's dirty secrets.
We found all the money.
Do you plan...
to keep on helping Gi Tan?
Before we find the vaccine for MK2, he's under my jurisdiction.
I hear it's almost ready.
Once you're done with the assignment,
you should tell Gi Tan...
that Soo Yeon is Cha Jeong Eun.
Why do you even care?
I have a feeling you're bothered by Soo Yeon.
I think he's very shocked.
It would be great if you could console him.
You should try to eat something.
You'll really get sick like this.
Hello.
I'm sorry.
I lost my chance to snatch up Dodo Group...
as well as all the money I got from selling Sudo Hospital.
I'll likely get fired from work soon.
Now,
I don't have anything...
to help you with.
You should have...
just died from the accident.
Dad.
Dodo Group will soon go under a tax investigation.
During the parliamentary inspection, I'll put Choong up as witness...
and shake things up.
Once I get money from the defence industry,
I was planning to try and gobble up Dodo Group.
What? You're sorry you lost everything?
Father...
Do you know why I accepted you as my son-in-law?
I thought you were vicious.
Even if you were thrown into abyss, you'd sell your soul to survive.
Do you think such a weak man...
deserves to be my son-in-law?
Sometimes you might lose your battles.
I can accept defeat, but I cannot accept the defeated.
If you don't have the courage to stand up again, tell me now.
I'll give up all of my expectations of you.
I'll get back up.
Even if my skin is ripped into pieces,
I'll fight until my bones...
are ground to dust.
That's it.
Just forget about it and get back up again.
This hospital gown...
doesn't suit you at all.
Good.
(Chief Secretary Moon Tae Gwang)
How are you feeling?
I plan on discharging soon.
Isn't it too early?
There is a lot of work to be done.
Il Jae...
will be fired.
Fire me as well.
The accident happened while I was helping Il Jae,
so that's good enough of a reason.
Are you saying you'll stick beside Il Jae?
As long as Jae Man is alive and well,
Il Jae will make a comeback.
To get rid of a poisonous mushroom,
you need to dig up the whole area.
The fire Il Jae started...
seems to have caught on Jae Man as well.
Isn't that what you wanted as well?
They're trying to take over Dodo Group.
What is it that you have...
against Il Jae?
When I looked up your records,
I saw that you didn't have any parents.
Was it...
Il Jae's doing?
I'm sorry.
I hope you won't ask me any further.
I need to ask you for a favour.
What is it?
I'm so sorry to ask again,
but could I get an extension for this month's bill?
It's already been paid.
What?
That's impossible.
Who was it again?
He told me he's a lawyer.
Lawyer Min Byung Ho?
Yes, him. He already paid.
I'll see you around.
Soo Yeon!
Why are you out here instead of Jin Cheol's room?
Why did you do that?
Do what?
I'll pay you back.
I'll work hard to pay you back.
Oh, that?
I'm hot, get off.
I was lucky this time. My client paid me well.
You can pay me back much later. A lot later.
I couldn't sleep because of this.
I was so worried.
Thank you so much.
It's nothing.
Gosh, I'm sweating.
Isn't that the newbie who got hired in first place?
- What happened? - Why was he fired?
- No, that doesn't... - Isn't that...
(Dismissal Notice)
- Why was he fired? - Gosh.
Why did you fire Kang Ga Din?
What's Kang Ga Din?
Why did you fire Gi Tan?
What does it have to do with you?
He's my personal secretary.
How can you fire him without my consent?
It's what the chairman ordered.
You should see him yourself if you want to complain.
- Yes? - Kang Ga Din!
How dare you get fired without my consent?
You should watch your mouth. I'm not your subordinate any more.
What?
How can you change like that just because you got fired?
Why? Are you bored?
I'm sure you can find another person to bug instead of me.
Where are you right now? I'll come to where you are, so...
He's being straight up rude to me now.
What do you mean, it's nothing?
Thanks to you, a life was saved.
I'll be loyal to you forever.
Thank you, Mr Min.
I got it.
Take this and give it to your brother.
Are you leaving already?
Yes. I forgot about a meeting.
I'll see you at the office then.
Okay.
Gi Tan.
You seem to be busy.
It's killing me.
You're the one who should be thanked,
but I can't tell her.
Brother!
Gi Tan.
I'll be going.
Why are you here?
What happened to you?
Brother.
Brother! Brother.
Brother.
You've met my brother before, right?
He called you his brother.
What?
Oh, I ran into him couple of times at the hospital.
I didn't know he was your brother.
That's weird. He isn't usually that friendly.
Brother!
Why did you get hurt?
Things happened.
What about work?
- I quit. - What?
Why would you quit after you got in first place?
I have to go get a check-up.
I'll talk to you later.
See you, Jin Cheol.
Goodbye.
That's why he cried.
He could've told me about it.
It's Guk Cheol's voice. It's Guk Cheol...
I told you not to say that.
What's your name?
Oh Jin Cheol.
- What's my name? - Oh Soo Yeon.
Forget about our old names.
Do you understand?
More wine. Bring more wine.
Ma'am.
What is it?
Are you ignoring me, too?
Do I look that stupid to you?
I told them to stop you.
Oh, sure.
Servants are higher than masters in this house.
Mr Gong, may I have some wine?
Have you forgotten how hard it was for you to quit?
The doctor said if you drink again...
Are you treating me like a patient?
- Ma'am. - You're saying I'm an alcoholic!
Chairman is back.
Welcome back, Sir.
What's with all this noise?
Madam started drinking again.
Are you home?
Let me see that smug face of yours.
She's continuously looking for wine.
I think you should stop her.
Give her wine.
We can get her hospitalised as an alcoholic.
How dare you make Gun Woo into a vice chairman?
How far will you take this?
Are you planning to hand over this company to him?
You have...
no right to talk about the company.
What?
Il Jae will be fired as of tomorrow.
You're getting rid of everyone who's on my side of the family.
You might as well try to get rid of me, too!
Do you know what Jae Man and Il Jae have done?
They spread ill rumours to manipulate stock prices...
and bought Dodo Group's stocks.
They tried to take this company over!
Your older brother and your niece's husband...
did just that!
I am...
holding myself back with an unimaginable patience.
I am bearing this with enormous self-control!
If you want to stay in this house,
you should watch every single thing you do!
He is...
declaring a war on my family.
I heard it from my husband.
Jae Man, I heard you tried to fight Dodo Group.
It was just business.
It's nothing to boast or be embarrassed about.
Is that fight over?
What are you implying?
I thought I would help if the fight wasn't over.
Choong is a husband only on papers.
We're as good as strangers.
I think we're worse than strangers now.
Will you get a divorce?
Are you crazy? That would only make him happy.
If you have to fight with stock shares,
I think I will hand over all of my rights to you.
He may treat me badly, but I'm still the madam of Dodo Group.
You do know that I have quite a lot of shares, right?
I'm sure you won't do this just because you hate him.
What is it that you want?
Discharge Gwang Woo from prison.
There's a policy called a "special pardon".
We have Independence Movement Day,
Buddha's Birthday and Independence Day.
I heard wealthy people are usually released on Independence Day.
It's not easy,
but it's not impossible.
In that case, we have a deal.
Shin Young, we're visiting Gwang Woo. I'll see you there.
(Correction Centre)
Mum.
Gwang Woo.
Why are you so late?
I thought you had abandoned me.
How could I abandon my only son?
How are you? Is everything okay?
Yes.
My legs hurt. Can we sit down and talk?
Okay, let's sit. Sit down, Gwang Woo.
Here, have some water.
Okay.
Do Gun Woo. What is with him?
What is Father thinking?
Your father is insane.
I think he's gone senile.
I heard he already became a vice chairman.
Don't you think you should've tried to stop him from rising up?
This is all because of you.
Why is this because of me?
After you got into this mess, Dad went out and found him.
His first son was no good.
Be quiet, Shin Young. You aren't here to fight.
Mum, how long do I have to be in here?
I don't have to serve my full sentence here, do I?
Listen to me, Gwang Woo.
I made a huge deal with your uncle today.
What is it?
You don't need to know the detail.
You will be released with a special pardon.
Of course, I will.
After you get released, work hard...
to get rid of Gun Woo.
Don't worry, Mum.
All I think about these days is...
how I can bring down that scumbag.
(Dodo Group can go down to its grave.)
(Reinstate Oh Soo Yeon.)
(Bring back Oh Soo Yeon!)
Your competence is tested while you work as the vice chairman of SPD.
If you live up to the expectation, that position will be yours.
If not, you will go back down...
with no promise of ever coming back up.
Sir, Chairman just called an executive meeting.
Okay.
I told you to tell me ways we can improve Dodo Group's image.
But why haven't I heard anything?
Shareholders are enraged with the fall in share prices.
Boycott on all Dodo Group products led to fall on sales,
and our credit fell...
I know all about the causes as written on this report.
I want to hear about the measures that we can take.
May I make a suggestion?
What do you know?
Mr Vice Chairman?
Tell me.
What do you think about reinstating Oh Soo Yeon of the Legal Team?
Are you insane?
That is unbelievable.
Soo Yeon became the icon of honesty and bravery...
among the public at this moment.
If we show people that we can take back a whistle-blower,
people might consider it as a sign of repentance.
Dad, do we really have to listen to this nonsense?
Are you saying we should use Soo Yeon's public image...
to our advantage?
So...
if we advertise that she will be hired for product examination,
we might be able to quiet down the nationwide protests against us.
Tae Gwang, what do you think?
It's a fresh idea that never occurred to me.
What about you?
Soo Yeon is the one behind...
putting Gwang Woo behind bars when she became a witness.
To accept her back is a little...
The one that made trouble for this company...
is Gwang Woo, not Soo Yeon.
Gun Woo.
You'll spearhead this item.
- I'm sorry? - Get her to come back...
and work on a strategy to improve...
our company's image.
Yes, Sir.
You better step up your game, Cutie.
Your brother has to go.
That scum and his "brother" nonsense...
What are you doing?
- What are you doing? - Hey.
Come on.
Gun Woo, what are you doing here?
Can you stop following me around? It's embarrassing.
I'm hungry. Let's eat.
Well, this is awkward.
Give us the most expensive dish here.
No. Wait.
Well... This seems better.
Just give us the best.
How much are you planning to use for lunch?
Come to think of it, your new suit looks really expensive.
Did you get a girlfriend?
This is so uncomfortable.
Why aren't you talking?
Are you mad at me?
Did I do something?
You can eat alone.
Tell me why...
you won't come back.
Is that what you're mad about?
Do they really want to take me back?
Don't you trust me?
It's true, so come to work starting tomorrow.
I can't go back.
Why not?
The chairman's wife.
If it's about her, there's nothing to be scared about.
I'm not scared. I'm just sorry.
No matter what he has done,
Gwang Woo is still her son.
If an employee who sent my son to prison came back to work,
I wouldn't be able to forgive her either.
There's no need to care about how they feel.
Just take the chance while you have it.
I don't want to be involved with Dodo Group.
Don't ever come see me about this.
There's so much left over.
- Miss, can you pack this up for me? - Okay.
Gi Tan. Did you have lunch yet?
I'll bring something good over, so wait.
What?
Of course, I bought it. Do you think I would steal?
Okay.
Open up.
Is it good?
Gi Tan, one for you.
It's okay, I can eat it by myself.
Come on, it's not every day I'd be this nice to you.
Come on. Open up.
(Byun Il Jae)
(Do Gun Woo)
Gun Woo?
How are you doing?
I miss you.
Could you come see me?
I'm at the hospital.
The chairman is suspecting something between us.
I couldn't call you because of that.
Why are you looking at me like that?
It's nothing.
Don't worry.
Nothing will change with my plan.
Gun Woo, I trust you.
Only do things that will make the chairman...
trust you completely.
That's the way you can help me.
By the way, are you sure it's Choong Dong that betrayed you?
The last place...
Choong Dong used his phone was in Incheon.
According to Gi Tan, Choong Dong would have already left the country.
Did you check the security cameras or the black box after the accident?
Everything is gone.
I feel like I'm dreaming.
A dream where I'm trapped in a weird maze.
I don't know why Choong Dong would betray me.
I don't know why Gi Tan is sticking beside you.
He only approached you to get successful.
Shouldn't he leave you now?
Do you still...
distrust Gi Tan?
It's strange.
Why would he stay with someone who doesn't have anything left?
The Gi Tan I know isn't like that.
There is no reason...
he would want to harm me.
He doesn't have a reason to be loyal either.
The results will be out in a week.
- Are you discharging tomorrow? - Yes.
Can you fill this out?
You're leaving tomorrow?
Yes.
Isn't it too early?
You're still not well enough.
If Congressman Hwang wants to fight against Chairman Do,
he'll need my help.
I'm sorry, Gi Tan.
There isn't anything...
I can do for you any more.
It's a shock that Choong Dong betrayed me.
I am very exhausted.
There is no need for you to try so hard for me any more.
What do you think about...
going off on your own for your future?
Do you mean that?
You are...
a smart and talented man.
I want to give up on everything.
I don't think I can be responsible for you.
I'm disappointed.
I thought you would get back on your feet.
I plan to go after Mr Hwang regardless of your situation.
Don't get involved with my plans from now on.
And I hope you stop moping around, too.
I don't get you.
How much is real...
and how much is fake?
Will you stop here?
Don't be silly, Il Jae.
I know you better than anyone.
Until I end you myself,
you will never stop being a monster.
Bring Soo Yeon in tomorrow morning.
Sorry?
Make sure she comes to work.
If you can't, I'll fire you three instead.
Does that mean she'll get her job back?
Make her wear this. And don't mention me.
Get out.
Let's see how long you can hold out.
Soo Yeon, it's me. Let me in.
Open the door!
Good morning.
Hey. What are you two doing here?
Go and wash.
Give her the clothes.
Okay.
What are you here for?
You need to go to work.
There's a penalty if you're not there by 8am.
What?
First it's Gun Woo, now you? What's going on?
Nice.
This would look great on you. Wear this.
What a nice pair of shoes. Wash your feet and put them on.
Who sent you?
You're doing this because someone made you.
Our new vice chairman.
Vice Chairman?
Yes. He's the chairman's son we just found out about.
Why would he want me back?
Please, Soo Yeon.
We lose our jobs if you don't show up.
If I tell him I refuse his offer, will that help you keep your jobs?
Why? Do you want to say no?
Yes. I'll tell him for sure.
The chairman is here.
Why is Gun Woo with him?
He's the chairman's son.
The vice chairman who wanted me back...
It's Gun Woo.
No. It's Vice Chairman Do.
(Vice Chairman's Office)
Go in.
You'll work with me on the project to improve our company's image.
You're my personal secretary,
and you'll get a 20-percent raise.
I said I won't come back.
I won't work here, you jerk.
You should feel bad for...
Dodo Group's employees, not the chairman's wife.
They'll all lose their jobs if Dodo Group closes down.
What? Why would Dodo Group close down?
Don't you surf the internet?
People are boycotting us because of you, and it's hurting us.
Thousands of subsidiary employees are being laid off.
What will you do?
Will you work here or not?
What will change if I come back?
That's up to me.
Just say yes or no.
Okay. I'll come back.
Will you?
- Sure. - It's "Yes, Sir" now.
I'm your vice chairman, not your colleague.
Yes, Sir.
We'll be very busy.
Expect to be with me 24-7.
Any questions?
No, Sir.
You can leave.
It's so hard to try to be cool.
When did he change?
He's lost his mind.
Watch your tongue. He's your superior now.
That's your seat.
Are they all on the same meds?
I don't understand what's going on.
Gi Tan.
Are you leaving the hospital already?
You haven't fully recovered yet.
It's our boss.
Okay. I'll come over.
Ok Chae Ryung speaking.
What?
Okay. Understood.
What did he say?
They succeeded in making the MK2 vaccine.
Now, you have to tell Gi Tan everything.
That Soo Yeon...
is Jeong Eun.
I will tell him myself. Don't you say a word.
What if I do?
Then I will kill you.
(Faked Reports, Corruption)
The aftereffects of a car crash can be very dangerous.
Do you have to do this?
Gi Tan, let's forget about revenge.
You got your money back.
Do you know how many times you almost died?
Who knows what will happen in the future?
Once you die,
that money will mean nothing.
Do as I say.
You deserve to enjoy life now.
I'll help you make a fresh start.
This is what I promised you. Take it and leave.
You don't need to help me any more.
Thanks for everything.
I'll extract my blood and send it to your people as usual.
You can't leave until we develop...
the MK2 vaccine.
If you want to stay, don't tell me to stop.
It's a list of army mishaps that happened in the last five years.
Over 70 percent of the accidents were caused by equipment...
provided by companies Jae Man has ties with.
Do you have any concrete proof?
The army is a special organisation.
Tyres had the most defects.
But we can't get a single piece of it.
Give the media all the information you have in here.
Jae Man gathered some loyal men and put together a committee.
The media can't help now.
I will make him...
cut out his own flesh.
Will you make him ruin all the defence companies?
The first thing we have to do is...
to cut off all his supporters.
Can you do that?
It won't be easy, but I'll try.
Good luck.
Take care of yourself.
How many NGOs can you contact?
If it's about the army...
How many do you need?
Enough to make Hwang Jae Man nervous.
I'll cover all the fees.
I'll give it a shot.
The corrupt defence industry is a huge issue.
This is why young men...
get maimed or die serving their country.
Thank you.
(Five Years of Accidents)
They're writing about the accidents again.
It has to be...
Choong and his goons.
Shouldn't we take action?
Don't bother.
I'm in charge of the investigation anyway.
Abolish corruption! They're killing our sons!
- Abolish corruption! - Abolish corruption!
Find out who's behind this and make them pay!
- Make them pay! - Make them pay!
The Hanguk Party must...
Who are those people outside your building?
- Make them pay! - Make them pay!
I think they're protesters.
Abolish corruption!
- Abolish corruption! - Abolish corruption!
The Hanguk Party must get to the bottom of this!
Congressman Hwang is here!
- Hwang Jae Man! - Hwang Jae Man!
Please get to the bottom of the scandals behind the accidents.
I already gave my word to the public that...
I would organise a committee...
and investigate the corruption and the accidents.
What we want is a hearing.
- A hearing? - Yes.
Summon the CEOs of the companies mentioned in the news...
and question them.
Congress has a schedule to keep.
We have no time for such a hearing.
We hope your father becomes our next president.
Please get to the truth.
- Hwang Jae Man! - Hwang Jae Man!
- Hwang Jae Man for president! - Hwang Jae Man for president!
- Hwang Jae Man! - Hwang Jae Man!
- For president! - For president!
Quiet down, please.
That's enough.
We, politicians,
serve the people.
If this is what you want,
there is nothing I wouldn't do for you.
For...
the mothers with sons...
For the young men who serve our country,
I will...
organise a hearing.
Attention!
Salute Congressman Hwang!
- Salute! - Salute!
How are they?
They seem very angry.
Why did you make such a promise?
Oh dear...
Shall I read you the headlines?
"Hwang Jae Man Promises Hearing"!
"Hwang Jae Man Angry with Defence Industry"!
"Hwang Jae Man to Uproot Defence Industry"!
"His Daughter Also Involved"!
"Like Father, Like Daughter"!
It looks like you're president already!
You know how to control the press.
Do you care about the press...
and not about us?
The people on the committee...
are all loyal to us.
I will deal with it.
Trust me.
If the investigation is like...
a fox's mouth,
a hearing is a tiger's jaw.
How can anyone survive sticking his head in there?
Who... Who are you?
Who are you? Why are you trying to kill me?
In the afterlife,
there are people who are waiting for you.
Don't... Don't let go.
Please, don't. Don't let go.
(Oh Jin Cheol)
You're still awake.
Is your sister not here?
Sleepy. I want to sleep.
I guess I woke you up.
Sorry. Go back to sleep.
It's Guk Cheol's voice.
What did you just say?
Sleepy. I want to sleep.
Jin Cheol.
What did you just say?
I want to sleep. I want to sleep.
Okay. Sleep well.
Why don't you be honest?
You don't want...
Soo Yeon to know that Gi Tan is Guk Cheol.
Why don't you be honest? You don't want...
Soo Yeon to know that Gi Tan is Guk Cheol.
Why don't you be honest? You don't want...
Soo Yeon to know that Gi Tan is Guk Cheol.
Are you...
Dong Soo?
What a temper.
It suits me.
Who cares? He threw it out.
Soo Yeon.
You're Jeong Eun.
(Vice Chairman's Office)
Why doesn't he go home?
I knew it.
It's almost midnight. You should go home.
What are you doing?
(Gi Tan)
Jeong Eun, pick up. Answer your phone, Jeong Eun!
