(Episode 19)
It's Guk Cheol's voice.
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 are you doing?
(Gi Tan)
Jeong Eun, pick up.
Answer your phone, Jeong Eun!
(Gi Tan)
Hey, Gun Woo.
We're still working.
No private phone calls.
Jeong Eun, please.
I went to visit you, but you were asleep.
Is your girlfriend's name...
Cha Jeong Eun?
I thought...
I heard you talking to your girlfriend.
No, it's someone I used to date before.
I thought I saw her here.
A woman or a bus that has left will never return.
You should delete her number.
Okay, Sir.
Are you crazy?
Why did you pick up my phone?
Why would Gi Tan call you this late?
He's a friend, that's why.
A friend?
I know you like joking around,
but if you dare touch me again...
Then?
I'll slap you hard.
Don't make me do it.
You can go home for the day.
She's so dense. Dummy.
What's wrong?
Did something happen with Il Jae?
Gi Tan.
Soo Yeon...
is Jeong Eun.
She wasn't dead.
She was right beside me,
but I didn't know. I'm so stupid.
(Oh Soo Yeon)
- Yes, Soo Yeon. - Sorry about earlier.
Gun Woo is such a workaholic.
He's being so tough on me.
Where are you?
In front of the office. I'm waiting for the bus.
It's late.
Should I come pick you up?
No, it's okay. You must be tired, too.
Bye.
Get on. I'll give you a ride.
It's okay.
Fine, then.
What are you going to do?
Are you going to tell her that you're Guk Cheol?
Is your girlfriend's name...
Cha Jeong Eun?
You have your life on the line for this fight.
If she finds out, she could be put in danger.
Let me off at that bus stop.
- Why do you want to get off? - Jeong Eun's bus...
will pass by here.
Think carefully, she's...
I know what you mean, so you can stop.
Thank you.
Jeong Eun.
You dummy.
Do you know...
how heartbroken I was because I thought you were dead?
Don't be in pain...
or get sick ever again.
I'll protect you until the end.
I'm sorry, Jeong Eun.
I'm sorry.
Wait, I'm getting off here.
Excuse...
Gi Tan.
Did you sleep well?
Let's get off.
How can you sleep on the bus?
You could have passed your stop.
I sometimes end up at the last stop.
But you're really strange.
You showed up last time when I was in trouble, too.
Whenever I open my eyes, you're beside me.
That's because you worry me with your clumsiness.
Sorry that I bother you.
You're fearless and clumsy.
I guess I'm the only one who can take care of you.
You should just like me.
If you think you'll feel sorry,
you might as well just like me.
Or...
should I like you instead?
Forget it.
It'd only be troublesome for you to get involved with me.
We're here.
I'll be more careful from now on, so don't worry.
Bye, friend.
Goodnight,
Jeong Eun.
What will you do if I really end up liking you?
Wake up, Jeong Eun.
You should know your place.
- There are many - There are many
- Wonderful men in this world - Wonderful men in this world
- Among them - Among them
What's wrong?
The tyres are acting up again.
Stop the car.
As you can see, the scene is very chaotic.
Military authorities believe the accident was caused by tyres,
and they went into an investigation.
They believe bribes and connections among...
the defence industry, military personnel and politicians...
have something to do with accidents such as these.
My goodness.
I can't believe this happened again right before the hearing.
(Kim Dae Woo)
- Hello? - Did you watch the news?
What are we going to do?
First of all, do something about the investigation.
Thankfully, the person in charge is my junior.
I told him to stop it, but I'm not sure how this will go.
Just take care of that much.
I will take care of everything that'll happen in the outside world.
Let's meet. We need to meet...
and discuss this in person in order to get our stories straight.
I am also on the investigation committee.
We should refrain from meeting one another...
Hey, what if something happens while we wait?
Stop being unreasonable and come right this second.
My goodness, that old man.
Jeong Eun, please.
"Jeong Eun".
That name sounds really familiar.
Jeong Eun...
That's the girl who brought Guk Cheol to the hospital.
Jeong Eun!
Jeong Eun. Jeong Eun!
The daughter of Sudo Hospital's guard was Jeong Eun.
Wait.
Could Gi Tan be...
Honey.
Did you watch the news?
There was another accident in the army.
(Byun Il Jae)
Yes, speak.
You must take care of this incident.
We will never get enough money...
if the defence industry fails to give us money.
I know. I will do my best, so wait.
Also, watch out for Gi Tan.
Why suddenly?
There's something I'm suspicious about.
Until I find further information about him,
I think you should refrain from taking him around.
All right.
Stop the car right there.
Gi Tan.
- Yes, Sir. - I have an urgent meeting,
so stop the car.
I will give you a call once I'm finished.
Yes, Sir.
Gi Tan, there was another accident in the army.
Find out if Sudo Hospital has my blood sample.
Why?
I met Il Jae at the hospital...
and I think he heard me looking for Jeong Eun.
What?
Does he know who you are?
Not yet.
Hurry over to Sudo Hospital.
Sudo Hospital? Why?
Guk Cheol's blood is there.
I will give the director a call,
so go and bring his blood to me.
But why should I go? Just tell someone else to do it.
Go and get it!
Honey.
Who on earth is this Guk Cheol?
He's Man Ok's nephew.
I thought he died.
Gi Tan...
may be...
Guk Cheol.
The blood storage is on basement level three.
I will stall her, so hurry.
Ms Hwang, what brings you here?
Ms Ok, why are you here?
My stomach hurts because I've been drinking too much.
Anyways, are you ill, too?
You don't look too well.
Ms Hwang, I received Mr Byun's phone call.
It's been a while, Director Park.
This place improved so much.
It's completely different to the time I worked here.
Who are you?
Right.
I am Ok Chae Ryung of Young Gallery.
You have a great taste.
The interior is wonderful.
Please come visit my gallery, too.
Ms Ok, we're in a hurry. I'll see you around.
Let's go.
Why do you want to go to the blood storage?
I'll tell you once we're there.
She just left. You must hurry.
- Fire! - Fire!
Fire!
- Fire! - Fire!
(Blood Storage)
(MK2 - Lee Guk Cheol)
I'm sorry, there was a fire in the restroom.
Thankfully, it's nothing big.
It's all right. Will you find Lee Guk Cheol's blood?
Here it is.
Was there anyone else who's been looking for his blood?
No.
All right.
Will you check and see if this and Lee Guk Cheol's blood...
are a match?
But why are you doing this?
Director Park.
You do know that my husband put you there, right?
I am always thankful.
In that case, you should talk less.
Yes, Ma'am. Let's go.
Vice Chairman.
If you called me, ask me to do something or...
Why don't you move to a place near to work?
Isn't the lawyer's office too far from here?
You could just get a studio since you live alone.
I'm fine.
I'm not fine with it. It interferes with work, too.
No.
If it's about money, we'll support you...
with your living cost.
I won't let it interfere with work.
Sir, it's time for Chairman's meeting.
Hello.
- Look. - Oh my gosh.
Look.
Don't lower your head. You can keep your head up.
They're talking about me, not you.
My mum was Chairman's mistress.
Soon,
you'll find a lot of people talking behind me.
I'll telling you so that you won't get surprised.
Are you Oh Soo Yeon?
Yes, Sir.
I'm sorry.
Tell me how you plan...
on using her to our advantage.
First, I plan on having her...
become our company's model for the corporate advertisement.
I'm the model for that.
If we change from the chairman's daughter to Soo Yeon,
it'll create a ripple effect.
Gun Woo, have you gone insane?
Are you confident it'll work?
Dad, what's wrong with you? I'm the face of Dodo Group.
Our company is on the line!
If you're going to be childish, you can resign!
I'll get our sales back to normal in six months.
There is no need to drag this on.
Shoot the advertisement right away.
Then release it to every type of media that will charge us...
- for putting up the advertisement. - Yes, Sir.
Gun Woo.
Make up your mind.
Is it Vice Chairman or Gun Woo?
Are you declaring a war on me?
I'm only trying to revive our company.
Did it sound like I'm picking a fight with you?
What is Soo Yeon to you?
She ruined our company, but you hired her back to represent us?
Do you have feelings for her?
- That's not it. - I wasn't asking you.
Do you like her?
I do.
Look at you two.
Are you dating at work?
Once she becomes our model, our company's image will get better.
You should know what's better for Dodo Group if you're a board member.
Why don't you try and be someone useful for the company?
I'll treat you well then.
Come.
- Mr Han. - Yes?
Who is the most outstanding employee at our company?
Pardon me?
I need someone to trample over Gun Woo.
I'm not sure.
I know that he was a little behind Gi Tan during training.
Kang Gi Tan?
That jerk already got fired.
Wait.
Did Gun Woo fire him?
I don't know the details.
Find Gi Tan and tell him to come see me.
I think it's best that you call him yourself.
Well, he's...
ignoring my calls.
I won't shoot the advertisement.
How can I represent the company?
- Are you not confident? - It doesn't make sense.
- Why not? - How can anyone be a model?
- They should be pretty... - You are pretty.
You're pretty enough. More than enough.
Happy?
Sure, people tell me that all the time...
You'll get compensated. It'll be more than your annual salary.
I'll promise you that.
What else?
Ask me now, then keep your mouth shut.
Really? More than my annual salary?
Yes!
What does the result say?
Gi Tan and Guk Cheol are two different people.
Why are you so suspicious?
Gi Tan has been so good to us.
(0.0082 percent chance that these two individuals are the same person)
Of course not.
Guk Cheol couldn't possibly be alive.
- No, right here. - Here?
Where will he go now?
An acquaintance introduced us to a hospital.
- Where's the pen? - Be careful.
Gi Tan.
I couldn't find you in your room. I was looking for you.
I was taking a walk.
- Do you want to get coffee? - Yes, Sir.
Brother!
Guk...
I got him discharged like you asked,
but why is he switching hospitals?
It's too dangerous there.
Why? Because of Il Jae?
What did you tell Soo Yeon?
I told her it's a place I know...
and that they're giving me a discount.
That's good.
Brother, I'm hungry. I want to eat.
- What do you want to eat? - That!
Then...
why don't you order it yourself?
What are you talking about? He'll scream again.
Just sit still.
Jin Cheol.
Listen to me carefully and repeat after me.
You can order by yourself, right?
No, sit down.
Be still.
I told you, he can't.
Sit still.
What would you like?
Two burgers, two coffees...
and one juice. Thank you.
Sure. Please hold on.
Here are your burgers.
Be careful.
Good job. You're the best.
This really is amazing.
Jin Cheol, you ordered by yourself.
I told you. He's good at everything.
You're good at other things too, right?
Yes!
Dong Soo, you're doing so well even without me.
Come back here.
Jeong Eun, I'm sorry about all the times you had...
to suffer because of me.
I'll do anything...
for you.
I'll make you smile for the rest of your life.
So please...
Please wait a while longer.
Goodness.
- Look who it is. - Uncle.
- What are you doing here? - Can you see him out?
Come with me.
I thought you would be busy. What are you doing here?
I love the jeongol here.
It's a dish that has a deeper taste if you boil it...
on low heat for a long time.
Congratulations.
I saw that your share has been going back up.
If you turn it on high heat because you're rushing,
it will boil over even before the soup gets brewed.
Your greed...
ruined Il Jae.
I have a meeting here. Have a safe trip home.
I hear you're busy investigating corruption in the defence industry.
Your leg is stuck in the wheel. That can't be good.
You have to travel far, so you can't smash the wheel.
But then, you can't cut off your own leg either.
You seem to have a lot to say to me.
We should meet up one day...
and have a long and deep discussion.
Over your favourite jeongol, maybe.
Find out who...
the tall man he was with is.
Yes, Father.
I guess Mr Hwang took the chairman's bait.
Il Jae might not doubt you any more, but you should still watch out.
You will need me as an informant.
We got Kim Dae Woo, one of the corrupt CEOs, to hire our spy...
as a personal bodyguard.
Who do you mean?
So is Do Choong...
looking into the recent military jeep accident?
We confirmed that he met with some military contacts of his.
Do Choong...
He told me he'd let me take over his defence industry subsidiary,
but then he stabbed me in the back.
I think he plans...
to release something big at the congressional hearing.
That would be bad for us.
So...
what happened with those tyres?
We still sell them.
It'll be a disaster for us if Do Choong gets his hands on them.
You must do something.
You're right. We have little time.
Call the Logistics Support Group...
and have them destroy all the tyres we supplied.
But they're worth a fortune.
Do you want to lose your livelihood over some money?
Have them burn everything without a trace.
Okay. I'll tell them.
Mr Hwang, you better be well-prepared for the hearing.
The conclusion to the recent accident...
will be that the driver had a drink before going behind the wheel.
Then the hearing's sorted out.
Mr Hwang, once this is all over,
make sure you crush Dodo Group once and for all.
I promise to get you all the money you need.
Don't you worry.
I'm setting up a congressional inspection...
and then a tax inspection.
Before the congressional hearing,
I'd like to meet the congressmen who are investigating our companies.
I'll set it up.
Are you out there?
- Did you call me, Sir? - We're ready for our food.
You should eat, too.
Yes, Sir.
Sung Ae?
When did she return from America?
A few days ago.
We sent her to work for Kim Dae Woo right away.
- Speak. - They will burn...
the defective tyres in Bucheon.
- Can you prove it? - No. Mr Hwang...
scanned the room for bugs.
- Come to the army base. - I'll go.
You should take your people to the incineration plant.
(The 6th Infantry Division)
It's been a while since we met.
Why don't you say something?
It's been a while.
You shouldn't be here if you're fired.
You're right.
Aren't you glad to see me?
Why?
Should I be?
Why not?
We did a lot together. We almost died together.
I went through a lot while you were away, too.
Just one truck?
Isn't that too few?
Someone's bound to notice multiple trucks moving at once.
So they're leaving separately.
They planned well.
Sir. We'll be there in 10 minutes.
What's that?
A screener.
Bodyguards use them.
They care so much about security.
We got the call.
Are we to burn these tyres?
Yes. Every one of them.
Don't worry. Unload the truck.
There are quite a few of them.
We just have to take a few.
205, 165, 15.
He's here.
Why are we here?
Well?
They're all defective.
A tyre should withstand 1.2 tons.
But these explode at the 800kg mark.
- Are you sure? - Yes, Sir.
Why are you testing tyres?
There's something you need to do.
These are the results of the tests we ran on the tyres.
As you can see, they meet none of the standards.
Simply put, they are all defective.
But why are you giving this report to me?
The defence industry is corrupt.
That report is crucial evidence.
Hwang Jae Man...
will host a hearing on the issue.
I want you to release this that day.
Why should I do it?
If you ruin Jae Man,
Il Jae goes down with him.
You will be the one...
to give the final blow.
Why? Is there a reason you can't do it?
No.
You're giving me a chance to get him off my back.
I'm grateful for that.
That is why I'm giving you this task.
Get him off your back...
and show the world that you exist.
I rented the whole restaurant for the evening.
So eat and drink all you want.
What's the occasion? Why are we here?
Other politicians host regular gatherings with...
their friends or allies, so I don't see...
why we can't do the same.
Thanks to you, I can eat until my belt is too tight, Sir.
Don't call me that. You're ruining my appetite.
Call me what you've always called me.
Then let me pour you a glass, Jae Man.
That's more like it.
That's enough. It's my turn now.
Thank you.
Welcome.
Where are the committee members?
They're waiting for you.
Come with me.
- Let's have a toast. - Cheers!
Have another drink.
Your guests are here.
Let them in.
Have a seat.
Who are you?
Here's my business card.
Hand out yours as well.
Mr Hwang and I are like brothers.
He told me that you are...
his political allies.
I would like to treat you all...
to a lovely dinner.
Jae Man, what's going on?
He is like a brother to me.
Just have a good time.
This is illegal lobbying.
Whether it's lobbying...
or sharing useful information...
will be seen when we're done eating.
You have nothing to worry about.
I won't lobby you.
You just have to have a good time.
Gi Tan, are the girls ready?
Yes. They're all very beautiful.
What?
"Very beautiful" won't cut it tonight.
We need incredibly beautiful girls.
You're so silly.
Let them in.
I need to scan you.
Please don't be offended.
Scan them carefully.
These wires and hidden cameras...
are such a problem these days.
They're clean. Enjoy your evening.
Well done.
Girls, come over here.
You, go there. And you, here.
You serve that gentleman.
Pour him a drink.
Have a drink. Isn't this fun?
Here, drink up.
Thank you.
Enjoy.
We should use this?
You said security's tight.
If we attach a camera to the scanner,
they won't suspect a thing.
No one understands the heart of a crying man
Who out there can understand?
Jae Man.
You should quit politics and release an album.
- What? - I'll be your manager.
I haven't sung for so long that I can't hold a tune.
Should I pay for the production?
Don't even start.
How about you all sit down now?
It's time to bring the evening to a close.
Not so soon.
We're out of drinks! Bring us more alcohol!
Wait, wait.
So...
about the recent accident.
The driver had a drink...
before he drove.
We all agree on that, okay?
- Right? - Yes.
Sirs.
Anything you need...
for the next election,
I will provide you.
We have a deal.
Have another drink.
Will you play this at the hearing?
Yes.
If we hold a press conference and this video goes public,
even Congressman Hwang will take a tumble.
Who's in charge of the press?
Gun Woo is.
Does he know of our plan?
The chairman let him in.
If this doesn't work...
Then Gun Woo's out.
Because it's proof that he took sides with Il Jae.
You will be the one...
to give the final blow.
(Byun Il Jae)
In the end,
we're all alone.
I won't go down with him.
(Boss.)
(Wake up.)
(He's acting weird.)
(Go and check on him.)
(He's not breathing.)
(He escaped. Get him!)
(Defence Industry Congressional Hearing)
I am Congresswoman Hwang Ji Soo.
Before we begin the hearing,
Congressman Hwang Jae Man,
the head of the committee, will give a speech.
Dear fellow Koreans.
Do you know how much our government spends...
on defending our nation each year?
We spend over 38 trillion dollars.
Out of this,
the amount we spend on the soldiers and the workforce is...
27 trillion.
If that money were spent where it should have been,
honestly and transparently,
we wouldn't have exploding tyres or defective bulletproof vests.
And high-tech equipment we spent millions on...
wouldn't break down.
We wouldn't have such problems.
To parents...
with children who serve,
and soldiers and veterans who suffered...
because of so-called traditions that were actually corruption,
as a politician who serves the people,
I would like to offer my sincere apologies.
Hwang Jae Man!
- Hwang Jae Man! - Hwang Jae Man!
Hwang Jae Man!
- Hwang Jae Man! - Hwang Jae Man!
He's a smooth talker.
He has no idea it'll come back to bite him.
Is everything ready?
Don't you worry. Just one flick of a switch and...
it goes boom.
(Cha Woo)
Speak.
Choong Dong escaped.
What?
So did you lose him?
Tell everyone to leave and lock the place down.
What's wrong?
Choong Dong got out.
What should we do?
He's probably on his way to Il Jae.
Go to the hospital. Don't let them meet.
Take care of things here.
Be careful, Gi Tan.
The reporters are waiting in the main hall.
Is it live?
It'll air on the news channel at 3pm.
Can't you tie a tie?
Do I have to do it?
I pay you.
Are you not done yet?
I'm almost done.
Practise some more.
Jerk. Do you not have hands?
Do I have to do everything?
Aren't you coming?
- I wonder what they'll say. - Why aren't they ready?
First, I'll play you a video.
Where's Choong Dong?
He isn't here.
Send someone to watch the ward.
Hi.
Come here.
The press conference is very exciting.
You need a good team to pull off something like this.
They all know what they're doing.
Once this is over,
I'm going after Dodo Group.
You will have a lot of work to do.
Did you supply tyres from 2002?
How did your tyres...
pass the standard tests?
There's a set production and testing process.
Our products were certified to reach every standard.
Right. The gentleman next to me is in charge of the tests.
What were the results?
In all six categories, their products passed the tests...
with flying colours.
We collected the tyres and tested them ourselves.
They didn't pass any of the categories they should have.
They imported waste tyres from Japan, processed them...
to look brand new...
and sold them to the military.
But the military ran their own tests which the tyres passed.
You all know that Hwang Jae Man...
was against the law that forbid us from importing waste.
What does this mean?
It means he has...
ties with the defence industry.
Do you mean the military's tests...
The results were faked.
We can prove that Congressman Hwang, CEOs of defence contractors...
and army personnel have an intimate relationship.
- "Intimate relationship"? - They were fabricated?
If the tyres are fine,
do you blame the driver?
The soldier driving the truck was a heavy drinker.
I heard he almost ended up in prison for driving under the influence.
(Hwang Jae Man Has Connections.)
Wait.
There's a newsflash.
It says that Congressman Hwang has personal ties...
with people in the defence industry.
What?
What's going on?
What do you mean?
It's everywhere.
Mr Hwang, do you have ties with people in the defence industry?
What are you talking about?
Dodo Group held a press conference to reveal your corruption.
They said you have ties with these witnesses.
Reporter Kim.
You know me better than that.
I got where I am right now...
by being honest and upright.
- What is that? - Who is that?
What's wrong?
Isn't that Congressman Hwang?
What do you mean?
Father.
- What? - Turn around.
About the recent accident...
The driver had a drink...
before he drove. We all agree on that, okay?
Anything you need...
Who took this?
I will provide you.
Don't photograph me.
That's taken out of context.
Don't take photos of me.
What... What's going on?
(Dodo Group's Do Gun Woo Exposes Corruption Scandal.)
Why...
(Dodo Group Exposes Hwang Jae Man.)
How did you find out about Congressman Hwang's connection...
with the defence industry?
In Dodo Group's...
Strategic Planning Department...
is a man called Byun Il Jae.
He's Congressman Hwang's son-in-law.
I was investigating him for embezzlement...
when I realised that money...
was going from him to Congressman Hwang.
That is how I first found out about...
the deep-set corruption surrounding the defence industry.
Gun Woo betrayed you.
Sir.
What is going on?
(Monster)
How dare you, Do Gun Woo!
Il Jae is definitely insane. It's serious.
Are you ready to cut off your tail?
Are you going to sacrifice your son-in-law?
What must I do?
I need someone to rein in and tame Gun Woo, the mad colt.
I want to live a normal life once it's all over.
I want to enjoy the small things.
Welcome back to the fire pits of torture, Guk Cheol.
