Episode 17
I take it you've considered our proposals?
With the Chairman of the Financial Reforms Commission watching us so closely,
I naturally had to consider them.
I believe you know Chairman Han rather well?
Well, we're casual acquaintances.
But I wouldn't say we were friends.
I see... So if you're mere acquaintances, he can't be exercising any direct pressure here, I suppose?
That wasn't what I meant at all.
Please don't misunderstand me.
Whatever, since you're targeting us,
we can't help considering your offer.
If the merger goes through, your position, and that of all the other Shinheung Bank employees,
will be completely secure.
We've recruited an expert to represent us in the merger negotiations.
Would you like me to call him in and introduce you?
Of course.
I'd like to meet him too.
Send him in.
This is the man who will be acting on our behalf from now on in the merger talks,
Kim Do Hyun.
You know the relationship between Kim Do Hyun and myself, I take it?
Of course!
In view of the waves it created in the banking world,
how could I fail to know about the Lone Korea affair?
So your appointment of Kim Do Hyun
was intended as a deliberate slight to me?
You're free to interpret it that way if you so choose.
My view... was that we needed someone on our side who knew you very well.
Kim Do Hyun is not a banking expert at all. I'm at a loss to know what his role can possibly be.
Deliberately provoking me like this will do you and your bank absolutely no good at all.
In any event,
it was always going to have to be a dog-eat-dog battle.
In my judgment, you've absolutely no reason to treat us with consideration.
Can I have a word with you in private?
This is an offensive I never expected.
Didn't I already tell you?
Every single thing you taught me, I will use as a weapon against you.
The fact that they chose you makes me feel sorry for the Bank's President and staff.
The weapons I placed in your hands are extremely powerful.
They can cause massive destruction.
That's absolutely not going to happen.
The reason why ShinHeung Bank chose me...
is that I can outsmart you.
Deep in my heart...
I always felt guilty towards you.
Now I can cast that guilt aside.
And I'm really glad I can.
Now my guilt feelings have all gone...
I can destroy you without the slightest compunction.
I have faith in you. You're able and courageous,
but to be perfectly frank with you, I have to admit I'm worried.
You probably know this
but behind Yoo In Hye is Han Jin Soo
I'm sure you know how big of an advantage that is.
Yes I do
But there must be limits to the support that Han Jin Soo can give to Yoo In Hye.
Violating the rules of due process by pushing the cause of the Han Young Bank
could land him in big political trouble.
Trust me, and leave it to me.
Fine.
I have decided to trust you,
but winning the consent of the Board is not within my power.
That's something you will have to achieve by your own efforts.
if you can arrange a meeting for me, I'll take care of the rest.
How did it go?
Did you meet Yoo In Hye?
Yeah.
How did she react?
What do you think's going to happen?
If I were Yoo In Hye, I'd be really furious to find you pursuing me even to here.
In all the time I've known her, I've never before seen her so upset... or so angry.
Hey! Do Hyun!
There's one thing I'm curious about.
How did you know In Hye was going to choose the Shin Heung Bank?
Because it's taken on so much toxic debt, the Shin Heung Bank stock is currently undervalued.
Yet only two years ago, when it joined with IJ Investments in the takeover of Han Young Bank,
it was regarded as a blue chip company.
Well, that's true.
If it could be cleared of those toxic debts, it has strong chances of recovery.
I was sure that fact wouldn't have escaped Yoo In Hye, hence my correct hunch.
Did you meet the Shin Heung Bank President?
Yes I met him.
Is he going to accept our offer?
The Shin Heung Bank...
has appointed as a partner to negotiate on its behalf...
none other than Kim Do Hyun.
So what seemed an easy task
has now become very difficult.
The fact that Kim Do Hyun joined them,
doesn't that suggest he knew the Shin Heung Bank was our target, and intervened quite deliberately?
That must be it.
Then it looks like we're going to need to take some fundamental measures.
What fundamental measures do you mean?
If Kim Do Hyun carries on intervening like this, he will be an obstacle to all our future projects.
If he could be persuaded to shed his animosity towards you, we might find some comprom...
Too late for that. We've crossed the river and there's no going back.
All-out conflict is the only option.
We'll need to alter our entire strategy for the Shin Heung takeover. Make the necessary preparations.
I understand.
Find out Shin Heung Bank's financing
Kim Chi Soo, from Ahyeon... Ask her to resubmit her loan application.
She needs to be more specific about the purpose of the loan and provide supporting evidence.
Check carefully yourself that she's willing and able to meet her business plan,.
Right.
Hey, weren't you supposed to be on the night shift today?
Yeah.
How is his condition right now?
Okay. I got it.
Are you okay?
What'd you come here for?
How's his condition?
I've just given him his prescribed pain medication.
I thought that for a while now you hadn't needed pain control.
It's not anything serious, so
Don't worry.
You don't look too good.
It'd be weird if I looked good in my condition right now.
It's okay.
Go on in.
How did you know?
Lee Ji phoned me.
That was a breach of patient confidentiality. I'll have to report her to the Head Nurse.
Did you get your pain killers?
But the pain I'm feeling now is a sort of phantom pain, rather than physical.
Pain killers don't really have an effect.
When I heard talk of people having phantom pains, I wondered whether there was any such thing.
It's telling me I'm really going to die.
But after seeing you, I feel a little better.
Subtitles brought to you by Team Midas at viki.com.
Can we talk for a moment?
Yes.
Please take a seat.
While I want to thank you for giving up your time for Myeong Jeon's benefit,
Everytime I see you
my feelings are ambiguous, to be honest.
I don't really see the point of you telling me this.
Recently,
you've gotten back together with Do Hyun, haven't you?
The fact that Kim Do Hyun
feels an attachment to you...
makes me feel very uneasy.
Your feelings aren't of any particular concern to me.
That makes sense.
From the beginning, we weren't on good terms with each other.
If you don't want to see Kim Do Hyun plung into an even deeper abyss,
make him give up what he's doing now.
You have cared for Myeong Jeon so well all this time,
so I'm telling you this for you own sake.
While Shin Heung Bank was increasing its business 2 years ago
We encountered a problem.
First overseas investors left including the Malaysian National Fund.
as the bad bonds increased, the business got worse
Accordingly I think the best solution is to bring back the lost overseas investors
and to discard the bad bonds
if we reduce the bad bonds and restructure the company
we will not be called a risky bank anymore, and will not be a bank to be taken by others
I am sure that our bank can take over other banks instead.
I don't understand why you want to help us
Are you sure you don't have ulterior motives like when you used to work for Lone Korea?
Like everyone else here,
I have a personal stake in the Shin Heung Bank. I've acquired 4 percent ot its stock.
Revitalizing this bank by getting rid of the toxic assets
It's for myself, not for a different purpose.
If you allow me to work for you
Mark my words
I will make it so that ShinHeung Bank is no longer the target
but the acquirer in a takeover of Han Young Bank
That's my objective
and my guarantee
It's a load off my mind
that the Board members have given you their approval.
I will do my best to live up to your expectations, and the Board's.
Have Lee Jung Do come in.
This is Kim Do Hyun, Director of AssetValue21
He'll be negotiating on our behalf.
I'm Kim Do Hyun.
I'm Lee Jung Do.
I trust we'll work well together.
Although I investigated for the ShinHeung bank, it was limited as it was from the outside
First, please arrange the financial status of the bank to submit to me
Do you mean I should disclose all of our weaknesses?
I do not know why the board of directors and the president of the bank made this decision but
I can't trust you.
I know very well why you would think that,
but we don't have much time for internal dispute.
internal?
how come you are part of us?
Aren't you too harsh?
If you act like this, I can't work with you!
Calm down.
Does it make sense that you're acting like this
when we came here to save you?
I never asked for you guys to save us.
I can't believe him!!!
Stop and find out more about him.
I'm positive that he's misunderstanding something.
How's Yoo In Hye?
Your warning didn't seem to work at all
She is being more aggressve about the take-over
Huh...so she's planning to fight till the end.
From now on, keep track of Yoo In Hye and the rest of the staff's actions.
Don't miss a single thing.
I understand.
Please give me the data for Shin Heung bank's launching
Is the merger with ShinHeung Bank going well?
They say Kim Do Hyun partnered up with Shin Heung Bank. He's a scary man.
We are totally reorganizing the strategies for the take-over of Shin Heung bank.
If Kim Do Hyun is involved, it will get even more difficult
I really don't get why she is doing this
Soo Ji, what's going on?
Mind your own business. We'll take care of this ourselves.
What did you say?
So, this is how it is?
Now, you're gonna push me out?
Soo Ji
Jung Soo.
Say something!
Our custom's always been that we stick to our own task and keep our noses out of other people's.
Why change that all of a sudden?
Your decisions are being shaped by personal ambitions.
If you let your internal family problems influence you,... our backers won't stand for it any more, I'm warning you.
So you're saying you're going to spit me out?
Don't you see you're heading for a situation where you've lost yourself?
You'll lose everything
It's me.
Has there been any more progress?
No, not yet.
I know I already told you, but I'm in a rush.
I know.
I understand your situation, so just wait a little bit longer.
You know how carefully these funds have been hidden away,
so I hope you'll appreciate my difficulties like I do yours.
Rather than rushing the retrieval of the money and things going wrong,
I think it's better to tread carefully, even if it means delay.
I see.
But in the event that problems do arise, let me know straight away.
Alright.
In Hye?
Yes.
She must have a severe financial problem, she keeps asking for the slush fund
what the heck?
That's all an excuse
She is just trying to take all the money for her own
Did you discuss it with InHye?
Yeah
We explained our situation
We were just humiliated
What you mean humilated
aww I feel so humiliated
She said she'd share the money if we kneel down and acknowledge her as the successor.
Furthermore, only after the banks are all merged
As for me, I can do as much kneeling as needed.
But Sung Joon here, because of his pride, would rather die than do that.
That's the end of it.
Why did you laugh?
What you two are doing is funny, that's why.
You act like children who had their toy taken away.
I'm already pissed-off .. you are teasing me?
You two...
if you act like this, you won't be able to win against In Hye.
That's why you should tell us if you have a strategy.
If the relationship between In Hye and the President is broken, then
you two might have a chance.
Break their relationship? How do we do that?
Ah c'mon! So slow!
In Hye just needs to mess up her job.
Right?

Why this sudden interest in Attorney Choi?
Sometimes I can't figure out what's in his mind.
I'm not sure what goes on in that guy's head myself.
So how did you become involved with him?
From when he was a prosecutor, that guy helped me in various ways.
Without me specially asking him, he seemed to read all my intentions and carry them out efficiently.
But then from one moment to the next, his outstanding ability became a problem.
Because he found out everything there is to know about me, even things he'd no business knowing.
So... I kept that guy on a tight leash.
Like crocodile and a crocodile bird, we've had a sort of symbiotic relationship.
I've kept him beneath me.
It's been like that for 30 years now.
Time sure does fly.
So his loyalty to you is a matter of expediency.
Loyalty my foot!
From the very first, I never expected anything of the kind.
We need each other. That's what binds us together.
So... a time might come when that bond is severed.
Who knows?
30 years is a long time
But as long as I'm alive, that won't happen so don't worry
Find out everything you can about Attorney Choi
Also monitor who he meets.
Yes.
It seems like you don't remember me
I remember you very clearly
Even at a young age, you were very smart - indeed, more so than your brothers
Yes, what did you want to see me about?
The past history of dealings between you and my father
is of no importance to me whatever.
I'm prepared to believe that.
What I'm trying to say is that the resentment you bear toward my father need not be directed at me as well.
I would like to do business with you
Looks like lots of hard work here
Is it going well?
Yes.
We'll leave for a moment
Have a seat.
Are you really saying it's feasible for the Shin Heung Bank to swallow up the Han Young Bank?
You think I would have taken on this fight without having a plan in mind?
I've lived long enough in the world to realise
that the world's judgment of me can be a lot more accurate than my own.
And I think the world's judgment would be that you've made a reckless decision.
I helped you get out of jail so you could take vengeance.
And the purpose of that vengeance was supposed to be money.
If the money isn't forthcoming, if all you're pursuing is vengeance for its own sake,
then I'll throw that vengeance to the dogs.
The important thing here isn't vengeance. It's money.
If you become obsessed with Yoo In Hye, you'll forfeit the money.
Mark my words very carefully.
You punk!
What are you saying you found?
Hyungnim!
This time, I really searched for the needle in the haystack. And boy! Did I find it?
I most certainly did.
So what did you find?!
It turns out that Choi Gook Hwan is human, like I said.
There's woman, a woman
Choi Gook Hwan's woman
You punk!
That guy hasn't married and is living by himself
So why are you coming up with this out of nowhere?
Oppa, you, really!
Isn't Choi Gook Han a man too?
I thought it was strange from the start
So I kept digging
And it just came out
Wait, so you mean Choi Gook Han has a woman?
Yes, Hyungnim!
And this woman...
is no ordinary woman
This woman of his was once... Yoo Pil Seong's mistress!
Are you sure?
I'm telling you! Where she lives, how often they meet - I checked everything.
A man in love...
with his own boss's mistress...
Wouldn't you say that counts as a massive secret for anyone to keep hidden?
Hey!
What's the name of this mistress?
Kang In Soo
She's not that famous
but she was a movie actress
Movie actress?
Here, a waffle
Hey, what's your family like?
What's the smile for?
After knowing each other for two years,
you're finally curious about my family
Looks like you've fallen completely head over heels for me
Nice joke.
My father's a hood. My mother... I don't know,
because she left too soon.
Did she pass away?
No.
Ran away
And I've got an older half-brother. He's very handsome but he's jinxed.
End of story How about you?
You don't know my family?
Of course I do
What's there not to know about such a well-to-do family
But there's nothing about your mom
Did yours run away too?
Something like that
What do you mean
Did she run away or not
She had all the sweetness sucked out of her, then she was chucked away.
That's my father for you. And that's a kept woman's fate.
Is there anything you want to do?
Why
Are you going to give me a hand?
What is it?
I've been thinking about this for a long time
I could live really well if I had a cafe like this
The waffle and coffee here are to die for
Building one here and living a fun life is my dream...
Should we try it together?
Really?
Shall we kiss?
The files in front of you
Shin Heung bank's bad bonds that I found about
the total amount is 6.2 billion won
This yellow and
this green are
are retrievable gradually
however the problem is the bad bonds in red colour in the middle
1.5 billion in these red folders out of 6.2 billion
is not retrievable toxic investments
as for this 1.5 billion bad bonds
we Value Assest 21 will take over all the bad bonds
Although I don't understand why you try to take over it
since you want to buy it, let me ask you the price
How much are you going to buy?
at 500 million won
Look here!
Are you joking?
you are buying the 1.5 billion bonds at 500 million?
Are you finally showing your true intention?
Wasn't the reason you tried to save us
is because you wanted to buy us cheap?!
You can't be fooled.
These people are people who didn't have any interest in our bank from the beginning.
Calm down.
Let's keep listening to what Kim Do Hyun has to say
Let me hear about your buying the bonds at only 500 million
First,
is a resort hotel.
Although it is 170 million bonds but it was built over 30 years ago and the facility is worn out
less than 100 people per month use it
Financing for the renovation is difficult
and retreival is impossible
Second,
is Anchang Resort.
Althogh the bonds are 210 million won, because of its poor location and continous accidents,... it has been closed
Again, it is not retrievable
These bonds are all unretrievable like garbage
Director Lee Jung Do
Can you retrieve it at even 100 million won?
If you can do it, please go ahead and do it
Even though CEO Kim is buying the bad bonds
Our standing is not going to change
Is that the only way you are trying to help us out?
The black file is about the Dong Gu group which is the largest bad bonds.
The total amount is 2.3 billion won
The main reason that the Shin Heung bank is in this bad shape
I will take over the total bonds of Dong Gu Group
I am telling you this clearly
we Shin Heung bank does not have the funds to revitalize the Dong Gu group
If anything goes wrong, the bad situation will worsen
All funds needed for the takeover
we Value Assest 21 pay for it as a form of investment
Now
Can you trust my true intentions?
What do you think?
If it can be done in the way he suggests,
we'd have no losses our side.
If the Dong Goo Group can be revitalized, it would hugely reduce the bad debt we're carrying.
But just how does he propose to revive the Dong Goo Group?
I still find it hard to trust him.
Where that's concerned,
we can let the outcome decide.
My view is... that Kim Do Hyun's proposals...
should be accepted.
Hey! Are you crazy?
Why are you doing something so foolish? How are you going to be able to handle that?
Jinwu's correct. This is really an irrational decision.
Unless we risk this gamble, we haven't the slightest chance of winning.
Are you sure?
Did he really say he'll take over all those bonds?
Yes.
I understand. If there are any other changes, contact me immediately.
Kim Do Hyung has made an incomprehensible decision
What do you mean by that?
He said he'll take over Shinheung Bank's junk bond holdings.
In particular, he plans to revitalize the Donggu Group,
which accounts for most of those junk bond holdings,
and use Value Asset 21's funds to do that.
That's something not even Kim Do Hyun is capable of pulling off.
But still, if he made that decision, he must have a reason
Find out what his motive is
I understand.
Yes.
I understand.
I'll come right now.
You realise, I'm sure, that the investment I made in the Han Young Bank was intended to be short-term.
As things now stand, it looks like you will have trouble meeting the repayment schedule.
I'll be able to convince our investors.
If the Shinheung merger succeeds
and I create a large financial holding company,
the return on their investment will be much larger than they are anticipating.
But do you think government-driven measures like these financial reforms
will go down well with our overseas backers?
What ultimately decides whether they're pleased or angry...
is money.
And like I said, I'll make them money!
Although I know that I'm troublesome to you,
Please give me a chance
It's not something I can decide on my own.
I don't think there are many indications this will work,
but I'll try asking them to reconsider.
So you'll have to wait and see.
Here we go! Round like that!
I'm doing really well!
Yeah. I found out about a few places,
but it seems like a used one is better than building a new one.
Well
money...the more there is, the better.
No, I can't go out, I'm busy
Yes. Okay.
Good night, sweet dreams.
Look at this
You're a complete pro!
Is she pretty?
Mind your own business
Ay, don't be like that
Let me take a look at the chick.
Hey!
You watch what you're saying! I'm not having you call her a chick!
Huh! You're enough to drive a guy crazy!
You treat me like a pet dog!
Jeong Yeon!
Hello.
Is Do Hyun here?
Do Hyun, your girlfriend's here.
What a surprise! What brings you here?
You said you were going to pull an all-nighter so I bought some snacks
You're all working so hard.
My stomach was really rumbling, so that's just great!
Yeah, let's eat
I've been losing weight like crazy lately
So are you sleeping here?
Yep.
It must be uncomfortable
Compared to a jail cell it's the height of luxury.
Though I accept you're bent on seeing what you're doing now through to the end,
when I see you living this way,
I wonder what it's all for.
Don't you have similar thoughts?
How could I not have them?
Then why are you living like this?
When Bobby Kennedy was killed, a small TV station in the States
screened nothing but the word "shame" all day long.
I read about that in a magazine when I was in jail,
and I suddenly burst into tears.
"Shame". That one word all day long...
I cried, and cried some more, but the tears wouldn't stop.
Of all the things I'd lost during my life so far,
it struck me that the most important one was my sense of shame.
And perhaps
it was towards you that I felt most shame of all.
Jung Yeon...
I never again want to live in a way that makes me feel ashamed.
I'll give you a ride.
No. Go right back inside.
After what you said, the word "shame" keeps going round and round in my head.
It does? Why?
Everyone, no matter who, is ashamed of something in their life.
You aren't the only one.
It's a matter of feeling it in your heart, but still getting on with life.
Go back in.
Fine.
What is it you want to say?
Please give me some money
Money?
How much?
A lot!
To do what?
I want to run a business too
You rascal, you've had money from In Hye a few times and squandered it.
This time's for real
Don't be like this, just get married instead.
Dad!
Come on, just this once!
Hahaha aigoo...
You're a cheeky little rascal, aren't you?
Dad, trust me this once, huh?
Dad!
I'll really do well.
Just this once.
Hello!
Ah, long time no see.
Mi Ran...
Yes.
Never mind. Drive safely.
I will.
This is a site that Dong Goo Construction was developing.
So why did they halt the work?
They'd intended to build a large apartment complex here, and they had the project funding in place.
But then came the ongoing downturn in the residential market,
and no-one wanted apartments at a billion a piece,
so it all fell to pieces.
On top of that, there were difficulties with the landowners and problems with the height of the terrain.
and eventually they defaulted on the project funding loan.
I think we should start by merging the electronics and semiconductor divisions of the Dong Goo Group
and then sell off the remaining loss-making divisions.
But a radical step like that wouldn't do anything to restore the core business.
Unless we can do something to stabilize the main construction division,
tinkering with other parts won't be much help.
The first thing to do is look into the possibility of selling Dong Goo Construction's land holdings.
Alright. I'll see to that.
Subtitles brought to you by Team Midas at viki.com.
Long time no see
Right.
Hey!
Sit down.
I don't know if this will be of help to you but
I found out that Choi Gook Han has a secret woman
But that woman...used to be Yoo Pil Sang's woman
Isn't this interesting?
My hunch is...
that if we dig deep down,
something really big will emerge.
When a man has a lot of secrets,
it's either because of women or money
I hope you weren't busy
Not at all.
In Hye is leaning on me so heavily that it's becoming very hard to hold out.
I'm going to have to hand at least a part of the slush fund over to her.
A part? So how much are we talking about here?
Attorney Choi met with Kim Do Hyun?
Yes.
You don't know why?
No
I haven't figured it out yet
Attorney Choi Gook Hwan is here
Send him in.
I'll be leaving, then.
All right.
Tap their phones if necessary. I have to find out what's... going on between Do Hyun and Attorney Choi at all costs.
I understand.
Welcome.
Looks like good news
I'm not sure whether you'll call it that, but I've managed to release some of the money.
How much?
About 20 billion
That's going to make things difficult, seeing how pressed we are for time.
If you had told me earlier...in any case, I did the best I could
It can't be helped
You did what you could.
Is the bank takeover progressing smoothly?
Yes.
Kim Do Hyun is proving something of an obstacle, but it's no huge problem.
Oh, have you met Kim Do Hyun lately?
Yeah, I m-met him
Why?
T-to wrap up some unfinished business from when he worked for me.
Dong Goo Construction, because of its many liabilities,
greatly increases the size of your bad debts.
First off, we must encourage Dong Goo Construction to sell its real estate holdings.
A meeting of the Group's creditors has already been summoned.
If you are to persuade the creditors, you'll have to move quickly.
Yes.
Yes. I understand.
Kim Do Hyun...
has called a meeting of the Dong Goo Group's creditors.
Aren't we meeting too often?
I've not the slightest wish to be a burden to you.
It's just that...
in connection with that business matter I mentioned last time we met,
there's something I'd value your insight on.
You seem to have a much greater talent for handling people than your father has.
The toxic debts of the Dong Goo Group,
currently held by the Shinheung Bank... Kim Do Hyun is suggesting...
that AssetValue21 should buy them up.
What do you think of that idea?
You can't be serious?
If Kim Do Hyun is in his right mind, how could he have done such a crazy thing?
Please confirm it yourself
He's planning to address a meeting of the Group's creditors.
I already spelled it out. Vengeance that doesn't bring in money is worthless to me!
So,
what's this I hear about you buying up the Shin Heung Bank's bad debts?
Whoever heard of such a crazy idea?
All I'm doing...
is raising the stakes.
But raising the stakes like that...
is nothing but blind revenge for its own sake!
If you keep this up, I can't work with you anymore
Dong Goo Construction, you say...? I put a lot of money into that outfit.
That's why I'm here talk to you. Please give them a stay of execution on the repayment.
But if I hold back,
won't the other creditors just rush in first?
I want to persuade the other creditors not to do that.
Please help give me a chance to revive the company.
Alright.
I'll put in word for you with Director Jang, so go and consult him.
Thank you.
By the way,
I hope you've been seeing a lot of Jeong Yeon?
Well, lately I've been rather... busy.
What can I do with a guy like you who won't be told what's good for him?
I'm damned if I can figure you out.
Go on. Get on with it.
Yes.
Thanks for your help.
Before the Shinheung Bank can revive the fortunes of the Dong Goo Group,
we have to obtain the consent of the Group's creditors.
We were talking before about clearing it off our books.
So why the about-turn at this late stage?
Doing that wouldn't do anything to perserve your capital in the long term.
Of course, everybody in this room knows that.
But do you know anyone capable of delivering what you have in mind?
Just how is this Bank supposed to rescue a company that's already dead on its feet?
By selling off Dong Goo Construction's real estate holding to improve its cashflow.
Using the funds released, we would upgrade the Mipunyang Shopping Mall,
and use its brand image to enter the direct sales market.
But those real estate holdings are the only genuine assets the Dong Goo Group has left!
If we let them sell those, we lose our remaining collateral!
The best collateral the Dong Goo Construction could offer is not that land in itself.
But buildings erected on that land would have a high value in the future.
Even if we took your word for that,
you'd be exposing us to far too great a risk.
And on top of that, the current President of the Dong Goo Group,
on our assessment of him, is simply not capable of reviving the Group's fortunes.
I intend to make it an absolute precondition of any attempt to revive the Group...
that its President must resign.
Come on now! That's surely impossible!
So if I can make it possible,
will you go along with my proposals?
Have you always taken such a reckless approach?
Supposing the Dong Goo Group
promises the creditors the owner will step down,
then renege on that? How will we handle the fallout?
You think the owner will just listen to what you say,
then willingly step down?
I'll try to convince him.
Convince him, you say?
Whoever heard of an owner willingly giving up his position?
I'll talk to him sincerely and we'll see if that works.
How dare you two suggest I step down!
Get out of here right now!
If I leave here now,
Dong Goo Construction won't have the slightest chance of recovery.
And if Dong Goo Construction goes down,
the entire Dong Goo Group will collapse.
The company may collapse, or it may be wound up, but that's my responsibility.
If I'm reduced to nothing, I'll rise up again. That's my way.
So I'm not interested in anything you two have to say.
A captain never deserts his sinking ship.
The biggest problem facing the Group right now
is the fact that you are convinced yourself the ship is going to sink.
This ship itself is unsinkable.
You, its captain, are the one steering it to destruction.
You insolent little upstart!
If it's reduced to nothing, it won't be easy for the company to rise again.
It's ended up where it is because you steered it in the wrong direction.
On board this ship are 25,000 people who put their faith in you.
The outcome you're envisaging
where you go down with the sinking ship, has nothing heroic about it.
Your concern should be how to save the 25,000 souls on board with you.
There is a way to do that.
Step back for a time from the helm.
Hand over the helm to a crew who can steer it away from the rocks.
If you do, the ship will certainly not sink.
And if this ship stays afloat,
you and 25,000 other people will definitely all survive.
Please, President...
let me put it to you once again.
If we want to persuade the creditors to give this company the respite it needs to recover,
you yourself
have to step down.

What do you think about this situation?
Will he step down?
Honestly, I don't really know.
He talked like someone spitting up blood.
Stepping down from a company that he made and built with his own hands...
can't be an easy decision.
Quite apart from the problem of the President stepping down,
there's the issue of what your motives are.
To be frank with you,
I can't have any faith in your good intentions.
And I've a good reason for that.
What's that?
Do you remember the name Lee Tae Chool?
He was the Vice President of Han Young Bank.
Is this your idea of sincerity?
That gentleman
was my father
I thought you were somehow involved in my father's death.
Even if you hadn't killed him yourself
people like you,
predatory venture capitalists, were my suspects.
I can't deny...
that I bear some responsibility for his death.
Back then,
I was blinded by greed.
No.
Now,
I will take back my suspicions
I'm sorry I was mistaken about you.
What's happening?
More things are crawling out of the woodwork.
On condition that the Dong Goo Group Chairman steps down,
Kim Do Hyun is going to ask the Group's creditors for more breathing space.
In my judgment, that's completely impossible.
There's no way the Group President would step down of his own accord.
Kim Do Hyun is digging his own grave
What's this about?
It's just that...
I was missing you.
That doesn't sound very convincing. Have you been drinking?
I mean it!
Alright, I'll believe you
Jung Yeon...
Yes?
I'm frightened.
Why?
Did something happen?
Just...
I'm teetering on the brink, and so...
I'm scared.
When I was driven by greed,
racing headlong and yelling "death to my enemies",
I had no fear, I didn't even know what fear was.
Now that with these hands of mine, I have to save people's lives,
I'm much more scared.
I'm terrified.
Don't worry.
Everything will turn out well
Are you going to continue to just watch?
Just watching in this situation actually brings the strongest pressure to bear,
There's no use blocking the path of someone who's running in a desperate frenzy.
No cause for alarm.
This guy has been working for me all along.
This is the investigation results on Attorney Choi Gook Han and Kim Do Hyun
You've worked hard.
Yes.
You've made a difficult decision
I will protect the company no matter what
President Jang agreed to step down.
We did it!
So we'll need to get in touch with the creditors?
Do that fast.
Aigoo! Is that right?
I thought it wouldn't work out. That's good!
Ah, yes. Okay.
Who was this?
It was Kim Do Hyun.
What was the call about that put you in such a good mood?
I want you to come somewhere with me.
Where?
Let's go watch your boyfriend triumph.
I am sorry.
We're a little late
Everything's ready.
Please, have a seat.
Jinwoo..
These materials on the recovery plan for Dong Goo Construction...
Distribute them at the end of the meeting rather than right away.
I understand.
You checked all the times, right?
What brings you here?
What do you mean? My chauffeur brought me.
I wanted to get some fresh air
I brought JungYeon because I wanted her to see a great side of you.
Oh but, looks like we're the first ones here
Just take a seat over there. I'll show you to your seats.
Let's go.
What's happening?
Did you contact them all?
Of course. I contacted them all and told them to come at 2pm, there's no mistake.
You said the meeting was at 2pm. Why aren't the others coming?
Ah, yes. They'll be here soon
We've purchased bonds issued by Dong Goo Construction.
They probably amount to much more than the bonds that the Shin Heung Bank holds.
We intend to put Dong Goo Construction up for sale
to recover our outlay on those bonds.
I'm working right now on restoring the viability of Dong Goo Construction.
It most certainly must not be sold.
That's your view. But it's not mine.
I will use my rights as a creditor to force a sale.
