-Your family will be in trouble, if we get Baek out of there.
-Thanks,
For worrying about my family.
-It's not a worry.
It's a warning.
-Sitarta was an only son..
A very important son from an old kingdom.
His father put him in a castle where it was only filled with beautiful things in the world.
But he went out the castle and saw for the first time.
-Life and death.
People live, grow old and die.
-Few days later, Sitarta left the castle that his father made and walked into the outside world.
-Think you can write the story?
-Kang said,
...that people have many faces.
Who am I?
HanOh's alast daughter, or a news reporter...
And...
I am still not sure.
My sister and her husband.
Am I...
Capable of writing this story...?
Or not...
I am planning to try.
I am not sure if I will return to the castle, or under the olive tree.
Please tell me what to do.
How does it feel,
to put cuffs on your family members.
(RING RING)
-Yes.
Chief Hwang,
Arriving in 10 minutes.
-We are saving Baek Hongseok for sure.
-Yes.
I found out.
-I know.
Take care of it.
-Either you divorce her and become a president, or go to prison with your wife.
The documents will be ready for you to choose.
-You told me,
...that you will go straight for it.
That you won't be coming back.
(Knock)
-I apologize for all the trouble that I caused until now.
-Haha, boys fight all the time.
Begin.
-He is at HanOh Medical Centre.
Arriving in 10 minutes.
We will take care of Baek Hongseok.
-This is the staff entrance for the special ward.
Only the owner's family, the doctors, and those with the security card can enter through here.
You can only leave the hospitalbed through the dedicated entrance in the parking lot.
There are security personnel in the parking lot.
-Cho, get rid of the security problem.
We will be waiting at the dedicated parking lot.
Let's begin.
-But I don't have a security card.
I can't get in without it.
-Let's make one.
-What?
-Detective Cho!
Eat a bread before you start!
I got five for a buck, and they're pretty good!
-This is your divorce papers.
Sign it.
It takes effect a day after the election.
Everything will be kept as a secret to her until the election is over.
She will be of great help during the campaign.
This is another document asking your wife for a divorce, in case she refuses to sign the mutual agreement form.
It has information about all the men that she met throughout the years.
It is deemed unfaithful to her husband, so she will be divorced.
-Pado- pado- pa do- pa-
You were in literature club back in high school.
You even won an award in writing.
I was suprised, even as a kid.
How could he think of describing the sound of the wave as such?
Pado- pado- pa.
I remember the sawdust heater from your school's art exhibition, too.
-Suh Jisoo.
You and I came too far to happily talk about the past.
-I wonder sometimes,
You would've become a great poet, if you actually married the girl that you actually liked.
-That's enough, Jisoo
-Yes.
This is enough.
Everything is over.
You and Dongyoon both got what you wanted.
Let's stop fighting.
Want some wine?
-I talked to you over the phone at least once a week, when I was in Russia.
-And I was thankful for that.
-Jisoo,
You always complained about Kang.
You just wanted to get away from him.
-I did.
-But now you are covering for him!
-Brother.
What will you do?
You are not cut out for business.
You had to stay abroad for few years because of the special investigation.
And now it's the window dressing trouble.
And dad pushes you out, whenever he makes an important decision.
-Enough.
-When you graduated school and went into school, dad said...
...that he will gradually give you the decisionmaking power.
And twenty years have passed since then.
But you still wait outside the library for things to happen.
-Jisoo?
-Do you know why mom wanted to leave dad so badly?
I heard.
She didn't want to make you as someone who resembles our dad.
-I respect him.
-Since when?
You didn't even come home, when you had to take economics at college.
You said that you didn't want to see your dad.
-I understand him.
-Since when?
Was it Hyejung?
The girl that you dated for six years.
I think she was a daughter of a public servant?
He sent her entire family off to Canada.
Then you met your ex wife for twice, before setting up a marriage date.
Again, you didn't come home for over an year.
You missed dad's birthday, and mom's annniversary.
I feel bad for you.
If you married this Hyejung girl, you could have been happy too.
-Are you happy,
With Dongyoon?
-Just a little bit.
I think I should drink the wine alone.
-You are getting a divorce.
In that room, they are coming up with the divorce papers for you and Kang.
Kang is going to divorce you in return for the protection of the campaign.
-Dongyoon.
If there is anything that troubles you in Blue House, don't hesitate to let me know.
-Sign this,
Candidate Kang.
-Father in law,
I will not divorce Jisoo.
-If the terms are not met, PK Jun's phone will be released to the public tomorrow morning.
-Go ahead, release it.
-Dongyoon..
-Hyera,
We are the ones who walk out of this as winners in this game.
Whatever's on my hands, is on your hands also.
-The operation was successful.
-She can't wake up.
-I have delivered the three million dollars.
-What if Mr. Suh releases the information?
You might lose everything.
I, also maybe you.
-Ah, shouldn't we balance the scale again, if it isn't even?
Dongyoon,
Let's do this.
As soon as you divorce Jisoo, you take the stock exchange and crude oil after your term is over.
-Father in law,
I love Jisoo.
No matter where I am at, I'd like Jisoo to accompany me.
-Do you know how many men she went through?
-I am the only man that ever went through her heart.
-Dongyoon,
-Wait upstairs, Jisoo.
-Did you come up with all this?
-This meeting does not concern you.
-Jisoo.
-Thank you, Dad.
I've been feeling bad about what I did to you.
I felt bad for hurting you and upsetting you, but thanks, I don't think I will every be sorry again no matter what I do now.
Thanks a lot, dad.
-What should we do?
Dongyoon,
Are we doing this or not?
-I'd like to go ahead with everything else, except Jisoo's matter.
-Ah, the scale isn't balanced yet though!
-I have acquired intel that you stopped the in-house intelligence from looking for your daughter.
What will people think of a father who doesn't look for his kidnapped father?
Jang Byungho, the one who rigged the Baek Soojung Trial, also seems to be receiving funds from you while acting as a spokesperson for the new party.
I also know that Baek is currently in your custody, at HanOh Medical.
Father in law,
Is the scale still unbalanced?
My proposition is simple.
Good work.
Secretary Shin Hyera.
You have planned this one thoroughly.
You can stop supporting the new party and support my campaign.
Then I will take care of all the HanOh's problems.
Right?
Secretary Shin,
I have not fired you yet.
I, presidential candidate of Daehan People's party, Kang Dong Yoon, is asking his secretary and assistant Shin Hyera.
Answer me.
Is this correct?
-Dongyoon.
It is not something that us two can work it out.
Hyera has the phone, you know.
-As soon as I enter the Blue House, half the power I possess will be yours to wield.
-Dongyoon,
You have forgotten something.
I have Baek Hongseok.
If I gather all the evidences out there and present it to the world, you will be voting in a prison cell on this upcoming election.
Thus, tell Jisoo to bring those documents back.
-You know who I am, right?
-Yes.
-God, this is so boring.
My dad wants me to check personally,
...how the patient is doing.
Oh, by the way,
My car is in the parking lot.
Can you bring me the camera?
-I cannot vacate the...
-Now.
-Yes.
-I am sorry.
So sorry...
-It's been a long time!
How are you these days?
-I don't know who you...
-Ah, Detective Cho.
-You look terrible.
Must be working very hard?
You need rest.
-Who are you?
-He said rest.
Sunbae!
-Detective Cho.
-Yes,
-Baek is in your custody?
-That is what you said.
He is at the special ward of HanOh Medical.
-Until just now, I believe.
He will be in my hands soon.
You are out of cards to play.
-What?
(RING RING)
-Run away.
It's Kang's goons.
-Yongshik.
-Yeah?
-The best thing you did in your life was buying those buns for two dollars.
-Ah, is it?
Detective Cho,
Ah∼ (RING RING)
-The beast that broke out of my cage apparently avoided your grasp also.
-The fact that you lost your card is the same.
-Hyera, what do you want to do?
Our cards are all out, now it is time for you to show us yours.
-Candidate Kang,
If this phone is released, you will lose everything that you ever had.
-Hyera.
I once starved the whole day,
...when I was about eight years old.
I went back to my dad's barbershop in the afternoon, and I saw a bunch of hair on the floor.
And I thought,
I wish they were a pile of cash, instead of hairs.
Hyera.
That's where I came from.
A step at a time,
Crawling, walking, running, and flying.
That's why I am not afraid of losing things.
I am just worried about not being able to fulfill my dream.
Isn't it the same for you?
-Can you promise us?
The agreement that we have.
-Of course, of course.
Remember what Buddha said?
When you are hit by a poisoned arrow in a forest, you have to save yourself instead of looking for the aggressor.
-Can you promise us?
Can we believe you?
-Yes.
-Can you deliver?
the half of the power that you have.
-Don't count on my words.
Believe in the phone that you have.
-Then please announce the things you have promised to the press at 9PM.
-Father in law,
I need to ask you for a favor.
Please keep Hyera by you.
Hyera,
If I can't become the president, your dream disappears with me.
My father is the only one who can stop me from becoming the president.
I will keep my promises.
So if you want to fulfill your dream, please help my father in law do the right things to help me become the president.
Is that okay?
-Of course.
Of course.
-I understand.
-Shin Hyera.
You are now relieved of duty from Kang's election camp.
-Dongyoon, what you said in the library...
It moved my heart.
Althought it was for a split second...
I've been thinking.
Why did he lie about such a thing to my dad?
That you love me.
Is it to steal the seat that my dad reigns on right now?
-That's right.
I want to be on that seat, Jisoo.
That's why I need you.
That's why I like you.
That's why I love you.
Jisoo.
Let's go together.
Until the end.
-Hyera,
Do you know why I am afraid of that guy?
Dongyoon is just like me.
Do you know how I got the seed money to begin my first business?
After the liberation, the government gave out the houses that Japanese lived in before.
Getting those houses were really difficult.
The powerful took the big factories, while the ones with the connection got the big mansions.
We barely got a single-room cottage near the river.
But Hyera,
Sometimes I'd find people still living in the houses that we received.
Some were from the north, some were beggars, while there were mothers of the newborn and others like them.
They were the people that were sure to freeze to death outside in that weather.
They were begging to stay for just one more month.
But Hyera,
I kicked them all out that day.
I never thought about who will starve or who will cry if I do certain things.
Dongyoon is just like me.
-Are you saying that I should not trust him?
.
-You have the phone.
All I am saying is that you should think about who you should sell that video to in order to make the most money.
-Chairman,
I have a dream.
-Ah, don't lie to me.
Perhaps you are being deceived by yourself.
Shin told me this.
That you are interested in politics.
So he asked.
So, what exactly do you want to do in politics?
and I remember that...
-I want to make a fair world.
-So that's why you rigged the trial and let the kid die?
-It was unavoidable to get power.
-Hyera.
Do you know how I learned to drink?
I liked this girl in my neighbourhood when I was 20.
But she married some other guy.
My heart ached, so I started drinking.
But Hyera,
after two months, I was drinking the drinks for its own sake!
I don't even remember what her name was now. I still drink though.
Dream is just like that.
First you enter the political arena thinking that you will help create a fair world, but then you eventually forget your initial goal and just crave power, just as how I forgot what the next door girl's name was.
-I am different.
-Yes, yes.
I've never seen anyone saying that they are the same as the others.
Hyera,
You have to sell during the rainy period.
When the drought hits, the umbrellas can't get what it's worth, no matter how well made they are.
Think about it.
I'll give you a good deal.
-Detective Cho,
You hate me, right?
-Well, do you expect me to like someone who sold Baek out?
-Yes.
I'll be on my way.
-Where will you be going?
You can't even see well in the dark.
I gave it a thought.
I bet you are the first person that he would like to see after he wakes up.
Stay.
Stay for him.
Are you not going to go in?
-It's crowded in there already, you want me to stay in there?
Why aren't you going in?
-I will be there when he wakes up.
Until then, I'll stay with you.
-Thank you.
-I'll explain the details when time comes, mother.
-That's fine.
If a man of law brought him here, then there must be a good reason behind it.
Father...
...moved from the last care home.
He is at Kanghwa-do.
His condition worsened.
He couldn't even recognize me.
You should visit him.
Who knows?
Maybe he will recognize you.
-You want me to stay here?
-Hey,
You were at the infirmary at the military, right?
-How did you know?
-You always get hurt during the gang fight, and patch yourself up.
That's how guys like you often get to be the field medic.
My mom's the only one who stays here.
There are hardly any patients here.
You stay with him until he wakes up.
-Ah, me alone?
-Hey.
If you stay with him until he regains consciousness, I'll call you by your name.
-Okay.
-Evidences, witnesses,
He gets anything he wants!
-That's how law is like.
The law.
-I, won't count on laws anymore.
I only trust in myself.
-Baek Hongseok,
You can count on the law now.
Everything from bribery to evidence tampering, all the money flow is related to Baek Kichul.
We need solid evidences and proofs.
-We gotta hit Kang.
-If the opponent is strong, you go for their surroundings first.
That's the principle of investigation.
-But prosecutor,
Are three of us it?
We should gather more men.
-If we beef up, our investigation details may leak.
-Then how long do we investigate?
-Until right before the presidential election.
We hit them once.
With big blow.
-Do you admit receiving three million for killing Baek Soojung?
We have the footage of the CCTV, as well as the box that the money was delivered in.
Next time I see you, I'll see you in court.
-Ah, sunbae!
-Ouch!
-Bae Kichul talked already!
-Dad came and ordered.
If I were to do what they ask, I would be out of the trouble.
-Was there anything else, Hyojin?
-Careful, careful.
34-24.
My heart pounds!
I love you~
Detective Baek.
-This is Choi Jungwoo from Seoul Prosecutor's Office.
Any gangsters who move will be arrested.
Gangsters who talk will also be arrested. Move.
Got it?
Move.
Bae Kichul,
You are under arrest for assault!
-Congressman Yu has declared his intentions of withdrawing his election effort, merely a week before the election.
He received 12% of the support in the latest poll, thus withdrew from the campaign and showed his support for Kang.
-If he stayed put then at least he would have been respected.
Who would look for such a loser now?
Did you give them what they want?
-We will pay the 70 million that he spent for the election campaign.
The people who supported him will be hired at the public corporations.
We refused his other offers.
-Good job.
Make sure that you pay them some more than what is promised.
That'll make sure that Taejin is happy.
-Okay.
-Keep up the good work.
-Manager Bae Kichul of HanOh secret is in trouble.
-I'll look into it.
-Did you check if the five million dollars fit in the car trunk?
-Yes.
It's possible, with $50 bill.
-How about the security footage of the sushi restaurant?
-We have them in possession.
We have the footage of them taking the trunk out of the car.
-Jungwoo, hey,
Ah, I mean...
We are used to calling each other with names when no one is around...
-Well, we do call the president by his name when he's not around.
-Bae Kichul got himself a lawyer.
-Who is it?
-Do you know that your father moved his care home?
We, his colleagues, looked into it.
Your dad's case is a sensitive one.
-Thanks.
-He was a respected judge for his entire life, but he had to take bribe that one time.
-Look,
I am your father's friend.
You should show some respect.
-Friend?
If I didn't investigate that case, if I knew that it was a trap to take my father down, it would have been a petty happening.
I don't call such a guy 'friend'.
-When the case involves the investigator's family, the prosecutor is replaced.
When you were being replaced, you recommended legal action against him.
-That's how law is.
-Do you regret it?
-I did regret.
I went by the rules, the law, and my father who only took bribe once was relieved of his duty, while you became the supreme chancellor instead.
I was curious.
What is law to person like you?
-When the drums of war cry, law becomes silent.
Life is a battleground.
Young one,
You will know what I mean, when you grow older.
We will wrap this up.
It's a simple case of assault.
If you are not going to get the warrant, you have to release him within 24 hours.
According to the law, according to the principle!
-Couldn't have said it better.
The assault charge was just an excuse to .
The three million delivered is presumed to be for killing Baek Soojung.
Let's go with the rules.
You can exercise your right of silence, and you can refuse to sign the testimonial documents.
The sushi restaurant that he met up with Yoon Changmin has the footage of him unloading the money boxes, and we also have secured the testimony of the waitresses.
According to the principle, I will get the warrant.
It's for abetting the murder.
Jang Byungho
former high chancellor,
To me, law can be a BS, it can be a bitch, but still is something that I must adhere to.
That is the rule of the world.
If you are on the ring, you have to follow the rules of the game.
If you are living in this world, you have to follow its rules.
You there, gangster, do you not agree with me?
Why don't you nod?
You should nod.
Can't hurt, for me to be in a good mood.
-Abetting to murder?
What does that mean?
-Bae Kichul of HanOh Secret delivered three million to Yoon Changmin.
The prosecutors believe that Yoon Changmin killed Baek's daughter for money.
-Ah, there must be some kind of misunderstanding.
Didn't she die from the complications of the accident?
-That's what we think.
-I am not sure how we should handle this.
-Bae did a lot of work for our group.
We have to stop the prosecutors from accusing him with unfair charges.
-Hyera.
No matter where we grabbed, we are the ones who won this tug-of-war.
Whatever's on my hands are on your hands as well.
-Should we?
I guess we should, huh?
-Yes.
-Dongyoon's election is coming soon, perhaps being involved in shady legal battle will cause complications.
-If this problem becomes serious, the opponents may politically use it against us.
-If we set out foot in there and screw things up, it won'be good, right?
How about this, Jang.
-Go on.
-Stay out of Bae situation.
Dongyoon's election will be held shortly, this cannot affect us in a negative way.
Right?
-Yes.
-Good job, Jang.
Ah, by the way,
Which companies are you advising for these days?
-For HanOh Securities and HanOh Industries.
-Ah, Youngwook,
Jang's working so hard for us, why don't you find three or four more seats for him?
Keep up the good work.
-I will look into Kang's current election capital status.
-Okay.
-Father,
There is something behind this.
-The problem is not that something, but how we can use that something for our benefit.
-Choi Jungwoo is prosecuting Bae for abetting to murder.
-Yoon Changmin will be tried as soon as he regains his health.
-How about the chairman?
-If you were to get help from the chairman, you will have to tell him the truth.
-Okay, I will take care of that.
-It's beyond your influence.
There are those who the chairman controls directly.
-The election is due in a week.
Unless something drastic happens, I will be the owner of Blue House.
Didn't you say this before?
The public servants' allegiance lies with the direction of the wind, like grass on a prairie.
Deliver the last funds until tomorrow.
-If Bae squeals, I will be tried with abetting to murder.
-It won't happen.
-You will have to hope that it doesn't happen.
Candidate,
The money will be delivered by tomorrow.
Candidate..
-This is Suh Youngwook.
Where is the private residence that HanOh supplied to Bae?
-This is the citron tea, it will help replenish your blood.
And this is...
-Chief.
Look at me.
-Hongseok.
I cannot look into your eyes yet, because of what I did.
-You just keep your head up.
I'll look at you.
Come on.
-Hongseok.
Why couldn't you shoot him when you had your chance?
I saw the TV.
You had him in front of you and you had a pistol. Why didn't you pull the trigger?
-Shoot me, Baek Hongseok.
You can kill me, but you won't be able to hide the truth.
-If I took the shot,
...he probably would have became a hero.
I would have become the murder who was bribed by the dirty power.
And my daughter would forever be remembered as the girl who did drugs and gave herself away to the men.
-Hongseok,
I probably still would have shot that bastard.
At least I would have felt good.
-Then we would be deceived by him forever.
He tricked me too, you know
-Everyone,
You feel oppressed, right?
It angers you, right?
You didn't do anything wrong and really tried hard, but the rich still ignores you.
Please be my friend.
-So,
I ended up donating Soojung's piggybank for his campaign too.
Everyone else is being fooled by Kang like me.
Chief.
I know how Kang thinks of these people.
-When a big carriage is on a long journey, there are bound to be few squashed bugs.
-Kang thinks that we are bugs in front of a big carriage.
-Hongseok.
Then what is it that you want?
-At least once, tell the truth at least once!
I want him to tell the world about what he did.
-But would that be easy?
-Evidences, data, witnesses.
I will gather as much as I can.
I will strike him just before the election.
-I will help you too, prosecutor.
But, if the law still can't help me, you will have to help me, prosecutor.
-What do we do for now, Hongseok?
-Trust in the law.
For now.
(RING)
-Yes, this is Hwang Ilgwan.
-(Jungwoo) Where are you now?
Move him now.
-We have found the source of Bae's money.
Please send the subpoena.
The recipient is Shin Hyera.
(KNOCK)
-They sent a subpoena to Hyera
I talked to all the prosecutors who are on Dongyoon's side.
As long as we have the phone that Hyera has, Dongyoon will..
-Youngwook.
Should you get rid of a goon who is good at his work, or use him as a slave?
-Father..
-If you can tie up a crazy bull and let him run a mill or two, wouldn't that feed a couple of families?
-No, father.
-I will decide on that.
Just make the calls to hasten the summoning.
-Minister Park,
I thought we agreed on summonings to be taken place after the election?
The current prosecutor investigation is only seen as efforts to curb the direction of the election.
You can't stop the investigation, because of prosecutor's rights to deliver justice?
There are other principles.
The system is in a chain of command, where you must follow the orders of...
Please call me as soon as the meeting is over.
-This is the second subpoena.
If I don't show up by tomorrow, they will take me in by force.
-Wait.
-For how long?
I wish to know your plans.
We can't control any of the department heads.
If there are ways to avoid my arrest, I want to hear them out now.
-I am meeting the prime minister in the evening.
I will get the problem solved there.
-Prime Minister Min,
Should we go for Maeun-tang tonight?
You already have plans?
So you can't do it?
Of course.
I'll send you the ride tonight.
You will be at the office tonight, right?
Yes.
Keep up the good work.
-The prime minister will take care of the problem.
Wait.
-I understand, candidate.
-Just wait a bit for me.
You work your ass off for the country, and you don't even have anywhere to go back.
Yes.
I will save a few positions for you at HanOh, so don't worry about yourself.
Work? Nah.
You worked hard for this country, so I'll give you a room with a great view. Just keep me company from time to time.
Why are there so many freeloaders in this nation?
What is it?
-I think they will issue a warrant for me tomorrow.
-Ah, why?
-All because of your hard work.
What will you do for me, if I give you that phone?
-What should I do for you, in order for you to give up the phone?
Let's do the math.
Let me see how you work the odds!
-You will not release the phone to the public, once you take possession of it.
The sword is most intimidating when it is in its sleeve.
You will let him become the president.
You will use it to control Kang, whenever you feel like.
Of course, you will make him divorce his wife, when the time is right.
He will be your slave during his term.
Correct?
-Shin has a very smart daughter.
-I want to hear your thoughts.
-You will use the powers during the five years to clear your father's name.
You want to clear your father's name to clear your own name as well, and eventually want to become a politician yourself.
Am I right?
-If I give you my phone, will you take care of me and Bae?
-Yours wouldn't be the first case to be buried under the deep piles of unsolved cases.
-(Dongyoon) There is an 8-storey building near Daechi-dong.
-And?
-It belongs to one of our subsidiaries.
I'll hand over the shares quitely.
-Why?
Why give that to me?
-That night's accident,
..and whatever happened between you and my wife.
Shut up about it forever..
