Empire of Gold
[Episode 19]
Let's go on a trip together.
Another country is nice, or Jeju Island would be good too.
I'll make you smile and live happily until the last day, Mom.
We'll meet again soon.
Somewhere else, not here.
Aunt.
I need to push out Tae Joo and Seo Yoon.
I'll have to compete with you after that.
I need to own Sung Jin Group.
I'll bring out my Sung Jae with that power.
Before the regular shareholders' meeting next year
there is something you have to do.
What should I do about you, Mom?
There is nothing more I can do.
Sung Jae, I made a promise.
- Your father Bae Young Han... - Would he have wanted this?
For you and me to live this way.
Sung Jae, just follow me.
There is only one thing I want in my life.
To put you in the seat of Sung Jin Group Chairman...
I don't need that seat.
I told you, it's only your greed.
When would you understand me, my Sung Jae?
You're really bad, Mom.
To hide your greed, you keep putting me in front.
When I come out of prison after five, ten years...
I'm not coming to you, Mom.
Sung Jae.
Aunt.
You haven't had dinner yet, have you?
I made the pickle you like.
Let's go, Sung Jae.
The smell of the coffee is really nice.
Tae Joo, you should go home tonight.
See your mother and say good-bye to her.
An arrest warrant will be issued tomorrow morning.
Dong Hui, I asked you to trust me.
The air is not good.
There are a lot of cases of bounced checks.
Tae Joo, rather than the check you gave me...
I decided to trust the cash placed in my hands.
Who is it? Who did you give my documents to?
Who could it be? Is it Seo Yoon or Min Jae?
Who do you think it is?
Dong Hui. Dong Hui!
Dong Hui!
My shoes disappeared.
Ex-Vice Chairman Choi Dong Jin will be summoned today for the first round.
It looks like he'll be sent to prison in a few days.
For you, it'll end with questioning of a suspect.
Sung Jae.
Do you have the test result?
It's a decreased cognitive ability from overwhelming stress and shock.
It's known as dementia...
I'm glad we found it at an early stage.
Dr. Park, can it be cured after some treatment?
The shock caused lack of oxygen supply to the brain
so the nerves were damaged a lot.
You'll lose your memory and cognitive skills more and more.
Find a way to slow down the progression.
In her case, her anemia is very severe...
The progression will be much faster than normal cases.
You will lose most of your memory in a few months.
I'm sorry.
I'll leave the hospital today.
I have a lot of luggage I need to get rid of from my life of 70 years.
My family thinks I came to the hospital because of exhaustion with Sung Jae's problem.
I don't want to cause worry for the ones busy with work.
Then it won't be bad for your future, either.
Yes, ma'am.
Ma'am.
I'm glad.
I can still hear...
Choi Dong Sung's breathing who was sleeping next to me.
Now I can forget it.
I can still remember...
the hands of Choi Dong Sung who embraced me.
I can forget that, too.
Ma'am.
But what do I do?
There are memories that I really don't want to lose.
Before I lose that memory, I have to hurry.
Director Kang, please give me a cup of tea.
Yes, ma'am.
This is Choi Min Jae...
Director Kang Ho Yeon.
You're getting ready for an emergency shareholders' meeting of Sung Jin Cement, right?
You should stop.
Well... I was going to hold an event behind my wife's back, but you caught me.
Chairman Choi Min Jae avoided the prosecutor's investigation...
but he's teetering from stock price manipulation of Sung Jin Card.
If I just trip him lightly...
Min Jae is still in the chairman's seat.
There are a lot of things to prepare until the regular shareholders' meeting next year.
Are we the only ones preparing for it?
Let's raid them.
A raid requires preparation, too.
I don't think you're prepared for that yet, Mr. Jang Tae Joo.
If you don't agree to the emergency shareholders' meeting this time
I won't exercise my joint voting rights at the shareholders' meeting next year.
If I pull, you won't even take one step forward.
If I pull, can you go forward?
You must be in a hurry with your loans.
If you did me a favor before
I could've paid back my husband's loans at least once.
Ms. Choi Seo Yoon...
Let's go with our promise. Good luck with your Russian crude oil business.
It'll be a good card for us at the shareholders' meeting next year.
Tae Joo, there are only a few months left in the statute of limitations on those documents.
I should look for a buyer of those documents before the expiration date.
Director Kang
Hand over the Sung Jin Cement shares to me.
You said you knew about Ms. Han's illness...
and you wanted to meet in a hurry, so I was hoping.
I came in case you knew a doctor who could cure her or a hospital in another country.
Even Chairman Choi Dong Sung couldn't defeat the illness.
Aunt can't defeat it either.
She's a strong woman.
Chairman Choi Dong Sung was strong too.
But how did he hand the Cement shares to her?
I'm worried...
in her cloudy mind...
what if she hands over the shares to someone she shouldn't?
Over 30 years, the time she held out with the hatred towards Chairman Choi Dong Sung...
What if she makes a mistake of destroying it with her own hands?
Hand it to me, Director Kang.
I'll continue with her wish.
As much as she hated Chairman Choi Dong Sung
she's worried about Sung Jae.
She'll decide which way she'll lean.
She's meeting with Sung Jae right now.
I'll look into getting a lawyer.
I'll get out soon, while you still have your memory...
Yes, Mom. Let's go on a trip together...
Let's laugh together and talk, Mom.
I stood there for a long time.
Where should I go?
To me, wherever you were was my home...
but I have no home now.
Mom.
I went to your father's grave.
The one who fell in front of Choi Dong Sung in this world...
did he get down on his knees in heaven too?
That Choi Dong Sung is calling me, so why is he just watching?
I blamed him for a while.
Mom.
I'm sorry, Sung Jae.
I only wanted to put nice clothes on you...
but I made you wear something like this.
I hesitated so many times.
Should I tell Father about what's on your mind?
Then you and I wouldn't have gone to that house...
Then we could have laughed and traveled together.
We could've lived that way.
I regret it, Mom.
I regret it, too.
After Choi Dong Sung left, if I had the Group...
Won Jae, Jung Yoon and Seo Yoon...
how nice would it have been to send the kids to prison and abroad?
Mom.
Your father passed away over 30 years ago.
And I'll follow him, too.
My Sung Jae, you'll have to be in prison for over five years.
Choi Dong Sung...
I promised him before he left.
That I would make Won Jae, Jung Yoon and Seo Yoon live in hell.
But, Sung Jae...
we're the ones who lived in hell.
Before my mind gets cloudy and I forget about that memory
I need to keep my promise I made to Choi Dong Sung.
Mom.
I have a longer way to go but I don't have time.
I need to hurry, Sung Jae.
It's a hot summer, so I prepared dandelion tea for you to cool down.
Have some.
The right to summon a family meeting is with Won Jae and me, just two of us.
- You are-- - Listen.
Your mind will cool down.
I'd like to know... why you invited even Min Jae here.
He endured a difficult seat for a few years.
He should see me on the day of my departure from this house.
I should pat his back for working hard to this day, too.
I can remember...
the day I moved to this house from Jangchung-dong.
Was Seo Yoon about eight years old?
You threw a tantrum about using the room on the second floor.
I said you might fall from the stairs, so...
Did you say you're leaving today?
After losing Sung Jae and getting ill, how could I rest in this house?
I went to the hospital.
Dr. Park told me... I have decreased cognitive skills.
People call it dementia.
How will I cross to the other world with heavy things in my hands?
I should leave them in your hands.
Won Jae.
Like I promised, I'll give you Shipbuilding and Heavy Industry as a separate entity
so keep your shoulders up like the first son of this family.
Dementia?
She said she'd hand over Shipbuilding and Heavy Industry as she promised.
She'd leave it behind anyway, so she means to give it back to the owner.
But... would Seo Yoon stay quiet about it?
We have to make her stay quiet.
Ms. Han Jung Hee!
Let's not do business with someone else's goods.
- Now, let's end this. - Dong Hui.
Take Auto and Chemical.
She's really giving Distribution and Jewelry to me?
With the condition of leaving what she has with Seo Yoon
I think she's giving us our portion before she leaves.
She's not really a bad person after all.
Would Seo Yoon be okay with it?
Tae Joo is not the type to stay quiet, either.
I can make Tae Joo nod his head.
Ms. Han Jung Hee!
Separating entities is a matter to be discussed in the shareholders' meeting.
You alone...
I hope you'd leave your greed, Seo Yoon.
I think it's been over 10 years.
Choi Dong Sung gave you your portions from this seat.
Dong Hui, don't look at the company...
and continue with your path.
Jung Yoon...
The golf courses in Icheon, Gwangju, and Busan are yours.
In a few years, if you think Won Jae has matured
then leave one to Won Jae to work on it.
If you liked what you got, would this fight have happened?
It has been many years that I heard you call me 'Mom.'
Before I leave, I should do what a mother can do.
Be grateful for what you received and handle them like your children.
Seo Yoon, I'll give you the Sung Jin Cement shares that I have.
I heard there are 42 affiliate companies of Sung Jin Group.
The 13 including Shipbuilding, Heavy Industry and related companies plus Department Store...
hand them over to Won Jae.
The 12 companies with Auto, Chemical and the related companies plus Jewelry...
hand them to Jung Yoon.
The rest of 17 companies are for you and Tae Joo...
Since you are young and you have the work brain...
it'll increase to 20, 30 soon.
I'll summon the presidents' meeting.
I'm going to stop the breakup of the Group.
Aunt, give those shares to me.
Before you lose your memory...
I'll show you the sight of Choi Dong Sung's family being pushed out of the Group.
I'll fight for you instead.
When I get summoned tomorrow, I'll have handcuffs on me.
It's tight, but it's better than a rope.
Min Jae has a good father.
Sung Jae's mother and Min Jae's father... we both ruined our children.
I'll go to Uijeongbu.
I gave them money to put me in the same room with Sung Jae.
While I'm in prison...
I'll consider Sung Jae like my child and take care of him.
If you want to thank me, then do me a favor.
Let go of Min Jae's hand.
Get my child out of hell.
I'm asking you.
Like I said...
I'll give what I have to the children before I leave.
Aunt.
Min Jae, summon the presidents' meeting.
- Breakup could never... - Seo Yoon.
Sung Jin Machinery, Sung Jin Trading, Sung Jin...
Baby, Sung Jin Information, Sung Jin Chemical!
I completely ruined them 20 years ago.
Seo Yoon, when your brother is about to get up, help me.
You shouldn't push me and make me fall.
Shipbuilding and Heavy Industry are the core businesses of the Group.
And they're key industries for the country, too.
It's too much for you. You won't last two years.
You're so capable that you spilled everything on Min Jae while running errands for Father.
Mother picked them up and she's dividing them up for us to get along, isn't she?
Seo Yoon, Dong Hui made a plan to get Auto into the global top five.
- If you just take a look... - Everyone makes plans.
Set up a law firm. I'll support you with my personal asset.
The first case I'll take on from that law firm...
Seo Yoon, should I tell you?
The issue with Sohn Dong Hui...
finishing it up by telling Choi Seo Yoon...
President Jang, let's just take the principal and get out of here.
It's one of the two.
Either leave with the whole Sung Jin Group...
or go to prison empty-handed.
Their hands will get full and they'll spill things everywhere. Let's not even give them any.
Ms. Han Jung Hee, if you want to play mom, prepare some snacks.
Fruit punch would be nice.
- Seo Yoon! - Tae Joo!
I'm sorry.
In my short thinking, I thought I was doing this for all of you.
I'll take back the breakup of the Group.
I'll leave soon, so I should lighten up my load at least.
Won Jae, Eun Jung, Jung Yoon, Dong Hui and Tae Joo...
The Sung Jin Cement shares that I have...
I'll divide them up and give them to you.
Won Jae, you're the first son of this family.
Keep your shoulders up.
Eun Jung, make up with Jung Yoon.
Dong Hui, you'll be able to work on the Group with those shares.
And Tae Joo, support Seo Yoon with those shares.
Mother.
It's a long road ahead...
but a short trip if you look back. That's life.
Don't be greedy and be grateful for what you have.
And get along well.
I promised Choi Dong Sung before he left.
That I would make Won Jae, Jung Yoon and Seo Yoon live in hell.
But, Sung Jae, we're the ones who lived in hell.
Before my mind becomes cloudy and I lose that memory...
I need to keep my promise I made to Choi Dong Sung.
Please have some tea.
By the time I arrive in the hospital... it'll be 10 o'clock.
Go straight home.
I'll see you off in front of the hospital.
My gratitude of 30 years...
words are not enough and this is an embarrassment, too.
Soon, I won't remember your kindness anymore.
I'm very sorry about that.
I'll remember it, ma'am.
Thank you.
Thank you...
for letting me leave behind the guilt that I made the president die.
Be well.
I'll come by everyday and check if you're well.
Although we didn't succeed, the fight we fought together for 30 years...
I'll remember it for a long time instead of you.
I've been waiting... for the day you leave this house.
You must be disappointed.
You must've wished to see my crying face and send me off.
I can't have everything. You will... lose your memory.
You will lose your family.
With the shares I threw at them...
they must be very busy discussing how to push you out.
Thank you for caring for Dad and for us over the 27 years.
Thank you.
You trusted me for 27 years and spilled words on me...
it was very helpful for me to trip Choi Dong Sung.
I was curious...
how you felt staying next to my Dad.
Why don't you give me an answer...
about how you feel staying next to Tae Joo.
It's too bad...
that you're leaving empty-handed.
I'm not sure if you'd believe me.
The Sung Jin Cement shares were a heavy burden to me from time to time.
I wonder what it's like for you, Seo Yoon?
After I heard from Dr. Park, I was worried.
If I meet Choi Dong Sung, would I see his smiling face?
But it's too bad.
Choi Dong Sung will see my smiling face.
I spoke to Dr. Park.
The few months you have with your memory...
I'll take it back before the end of it.
I'll show you how the shares you threw away will end up in my hands.
I raised Won Jae and Jung Yoon.
Kids with no brains, how would you defeat their greed?
- Sung Jae is-- - He's my brother.
It's been a long time.
I'm grateful for the illness.
I want to forget soon.
The air outside must be very refreshing.
They must be very busy discussing how to push you out with the shares I threw at them.
I told you at least 10 times to put the socks in the right place when you take them off.
Thank you for the advice.
I'll give you one more piece of advice.
The chairman's seat of Sung Jin Group is still too much for you.
I know. With the joint voting rights with me
and the shares that Han Jung Hee gave to you...
Congratulations.
You became the one with the most shares of Sung Jin Cement in this family.
You must have thought this.
Won Jae, Jung Yoon, Eun Jung and Dong Hui...
If you just hold hands with one or two
you'd be able to hang your portrait in the chairman's office.
Please teach me.
Who is the most easily fooled among them?
Like I said, that seat is too much for you to handle right now.
Is there a husband who had a loss after listening to his wife?
Won Jae and Dong Hui want to break up the Group.
If you say yes to their conditions, the Group will be split in half.
You don't want that, do you?
There is no deal that satisfies everyone.
If you hold hands with someone...
then the rest will hold my hand.
Would you even hold out for a day in that seat?
I'm scared enough.
I have a plan.
Min Jae will step down, and...
I'd like to take that seat.
The shares that Won Jae, Eun Jung, Jung Yoon and Dong Hui own...
Let's bring those back first
and after that, let's have our final match.
Trust the words from Chairman Choi Seo Yoon?
Other than trusting me, I'd like to know what else you can do.
Why don't you nod? I don't like people who think for too long.
You can turn off the light. And clean up the socks, too.
I will... bring back the shares.
First, Uncle and now Mother...
The elderly let go of everything from their hands after going through a big event.
Eun Jung, why are we living this way?
What is life, Eun Jung?
Seo Yoon's shares is 20 percent.
And there is the joint voting rights on that with Tae Joo.
Tae Joo got 4 percent more today.
You and I also got 4 percent each today, totaling 8 percent.
Won Jae, we can tilt the scale.
If you were a little bit wiser
I would've made that face at you and lived my life graciously.
With that much, Shipbuilding and Heavy Industry will become ours...
We should ask for a breakup from the Group.
Like Mother said, the 13 affiliated companies...
You get three chances in life.
You even lost my chances.
Won Jae, there are no more chances.
I hated her when she was around...
Should I go see her?
Jung Yoon.
You have time on the 11th of next month, right?
What?
Oh, I'm going to call for a shareholders' meeting for Sung Jin Cement.
Leave that afternoon free. You're good for 2 o'clock?
Me, my wife, you and Dong Hui...
If we add the shares together, it's 16 percent.
Should we hold the shareholders' meeting and change the board of directors?
Should I request opening up the accounting books?
I think the recent investments have been too reckless.
Seo Yoon, I discussed with Jung Yoon last night
If you just give me Auto and Chemical, I'll give you the shares that Mother gave me...
Hold the shareholders' meeting.
Mr. Jang Tae Joo and I have the joint voting rights on 20 percent of the shares.
He has 4 percent of the shares. We'll win.
Dong Hui, look into a building and people for your new law firm.
Won Jae, there was an accident with Sung Jin Parcel yesterday.
- You should take care of it. - Seo Yoon!
Don't bother my wife while she's eating.
I'll take care of it.
Tae Joo!
If not a separate entity, at least give me Shipbuilding and Heavy Industry for my two hands...
You be the chairman.
You're the first born son of this family.
Mr. Jang Tae Joo.
Eat. I'll take care of this.
I'm not going to exercise my joint voting rights.
My wife's voting rights will be zero.
If we combine the shares that your couple and I own, it's 12 percent.
Stand next to her.
Throw Auto and Chemical at Dong Hui.
He's been singing about it for years, so let's tap the tambourine for him for once.
Mr. Jang Tae Joo, this is...
I said that I'm not going to exercise the joint voting rights.
This is a breakfast meeting of majority shareholders.
Just watch.
The family shares rice and side dishes...
so let's give him a little bit of the company.
I'll be the managing director of the strategic planning division.
I'm going to learn management from you the proper way.
Give him the companies and give me the position.
Then sit at the chairman's seat.
Just eat for now, Won Jae.
Oh, let me ask you for a favor.
My wife must be tired these days, so she snores at night.
Find a room for her at Sung Jin Economic Research Institute
and let her study and rest a little.
I turned off the light and I cleaned up the socks.
I'll do the rest, too.
Let's do the final match after that.
Chairman Choi Won Jae.
Treat me to dinner sometime.
Even for the title of a sales manager at a club
you have to beat up people to have them move aside.
The seat of the chairman of Sung Jin Group...
Choi Min Jae won't step aside so easily.
President Jang.
Should I rekindle the issue of Sung Jin Card?
If the fire splatters on him, Chairman Choi Min Jae won't be able to hold on...
Well...
I came to see you off on your way to Sung Jin Construction building in Yangpyung-dong.
Thank you, Tae Joo.
When I come back to this office, you should greet me, too.
That shouldn't happen again.
I heard... that the decision was made during breakfast this morning...
that Won Jae will become Chairman.
Until I come back, stay alive at that dining table.
I'm asking you, Tae Joo.
I'll be sitting at the higher seat of the dining table and waiting for you.
If you need any help, come to me.
Manager Lee Sang Won, Manager Jo Jung Soo.
I'll invite you to be the directors of the strategic planning division starting today.
Just because you went to a college outside of Seoul
you're three years behind in getting a promotion than your colleagues.
Let's run together to make up for the lost time.
Within two months of becoming the managing director of the strategic planning team...
replacements are complete.
Chairman Choi Won Jae...
If he finds out that everyone surrounding him is your men...
Schedule a golf rounding with Vice Managing Director Park Joon Sung.
Only Park Joon Sung is left in the strategic planning division...
from Choi Won Jae's side.
He tackles every project.
How do we make him step down?
Let's make him live forever...
by the hands of Chairman Choi Won Jae.
Hey hey! Even if you combine all the related companies of Il Gwang Group
it's not even half of sales from Sung Jin Electronics.
But you want me to sit behind the chairman of Il Gwang Group?
Age?
I'm not going to the meeting of the Federation of Korean Industries before I turn 60.
It'll be a long time before our country becomes a developed country.
Look at the U.S. Everywhere you go, Bill Gates will sit in the front.
What about age...
- Chairman. - Hey hey!
We sit at the same dining table and lift our spoons together.
Just relax.
Won Jae.
From the personnel committee of the strategic planning division
they recommended two candidates for the president of Sung Jin Shipbuilding.
They are President Jo Soon Chul and Vice Managing Director Park Joon Sung.
Please decide on which one.
Jo Soon Chul is Seo Yoon's left foot.
Presidents are shoes anyway.
Whoever wears them is the owner.
Wear it on your left foot.
It should fit me to wear the shoe.
When I was President of Parcel Service
Jo Soon Chul pecked at me for six hours to perform an audit on me.
Send Park Joon Sung to Shipbuilding
and find a shoe that fits you for Vice Managing Director.
Yes.
Tae Joo.
I like you.
You say everything you want, and you follow my decision.
Let's have lunch together.
Yeah?
It changed? My seat is at the front? Are you sure?
Let's have lunch another time, Tae Joo.
President Jo Soon Chul is assigned to the branch in the U.S.
He's leaving tomorrow.
Director Song Tae Shik has been sent down to Jeju Island.
Everyone close to you is getting pushed out of the company.
I'm the executive director of Sung Jin Economic Research Institute.
Oh, let's play golf together tomorrow.
The investment in India and Brazil that you were leading
was also suspended by Managing Director Jang Tae Joo.
You can't be pushed out like this.
You have to protect the people who support you...
Dasan wrote a book on his exile.
I'm on my exile, so I'm reading books.
He read thousands of books all his life, but he only realized at an old age.
Rather than reading many books...
read one book over and over and realize the law of nature
then you'll know everything.
Rather than gathering many people...
Jang Tae Joo, that man...
I'm curious about what he's thinking.
Ma'am, you need to return to the Group.
Who knows if there is an ambush by the stream
or if there is a landmine in the field.
Until we find out where he created the battlefield...
Until Jang Tae Joo reveals his claws...
You should rest too, Director Park.
Schedule a rounding tomorrow.
I heard you made a hole-in-one last week.
You should've told me.
I'll plant a commemorative tree for you.
I heard your golf ends with the ball on the green.
Guess you never made a hole-in-one.
You're still standing on the green now.
You won't make it a hole-in-one this time either.
There is a party hosted by the First Lady for couples.
Wear the suit that Eun Jung gave you as a gift.
I'm going on a business trip to Australia this weekend.
It'll take about three, four days.
I'll miss you, but I'll manage.
There is a handmade jewelry shop in Sydney.
There is a necklace I like, so bring it to me.
I'll pay you when I get it.
- It's not in Sydney. - The same shop is in Melbourne, too.
Where is the nail clipper?
The wife keeps trying to take a peek at the husband's claws.
I dismissed Manager Kim Gyu Hyun.
Take him and use him.
A secretarial manager of Sung Jin Economic Research Institute
shouldn't report to the managing director of the strategic planning division.
I sent Mr. Jo home.
He shouldn't drive my car and make visits to the executive director's office.
He's good at driving, so feel free to give him a handle.
Wear a red tie tomorrow.
That looks good on you, Mr. Jang Tae Joo.
Thank you.
Everything looks good on you, so wear whatever you want.
- Sleep tight. - You too.
Hey!
Just because the groundbreaking ceremony is delayed, you can't build a plant?
Does the material go somewhere? Does the land go hiding?
Won Jae, this is the first official event for Auto since it came out of the Group.
I have to attend...
Won Jae, Dong Hui stayed up all night and wrote a speech for the ceremony.
He never stayed up all night even to write a closing argument as a prosecutor.
Let's just hold the groundbreaking ceremony...
Dong Hui.
Just because Auto and Chemical are separated out, it doesn't mean our accounts are settled.
The debt of 70 billion from the affiliated companies is not settled yet.
The plant site is also owned by Corporation...
and it's leased to Auto.
But all the family members going to Hampyung for your birthday are
From now on, Father's birthday and memorial day
and the birthdays of everyone sitting here at this dining table.
We'll spend it in Hampyung no matter what.
If you come to Hampyung, I'll take care of the land lease of the Auto plant.
Postpone the groundbreaking.
Eun Jung, there is a new shop called Artemis in Chungdam-dong.
I found a dress that would be perfect for you there...
Let's go together. It would take about 30 minutes from the department store...
I'll pick you up in the afternoon.
I'm busy. I don't have time to leave for 30 minutes just to get a dress.
Then I'll bring you a few to your president's office.
It'll just take a minute to look and choose one.
I'll come with the designer...
Just send the designer and the dresses. You focus on work.
Thank you for the gift.
Oh right, Tae Joo.
You have a reservation in Wellington this weekend.
The one who runs the hotel there is my friend.
He called me and told me you booked a room there.
I told him to treat you like a state VIP.
It wasn't Australia, it's New Zealand.
You're lucky, Ms. Choi Seo Yoon.
What should you do, Mr. Jang Tae Joo? You should clip your nails shorter.
Wellington is at the southern tip of the North Island in New Zealand.
It's a harbor city and a commercial city.
I'll have someone follow Managing Director Jang Tae Joo.
He'll move with that in mind.
If he's planning something big, there should be a shadow showing on the other side.
You should thank me. After moving Sung Jin Construction, because of me...
its sales increased a lot, didn't it?
I heard that you won the construction in Dubai.
Dubai...
It's a project to build a city in a desert.
The U.S., the U.K., and France...
it's a competitive ground of construction capabilities from all around the world.
The latest technology and plans to shorten the construction period...
I have a lot to learn.
It's been a while.
To see your face like that when you talk about construction.
It's been a while since I saw you holding a book.
Won Jae is a puppet controlled by Tae Joo.
Looking at Won Jae...
if you don't know that you're a puppet, that could mean happiness, too.
I brought you a gift.
Jang Tae Joo... I'm not sure which country...
but it seems that he's contacting private equity firms.
It seems that he's trying to buy something...
What does he think he can buy to become the chairman of Sung Jin Group?
If Yeon Gaesomun held hands with Kim Chun Chu
Goguryeo wouldn't have collapsed.
Hitler attacked Poland and Russia after signing a non-aggression agreement.
I'll try to do it on my own.
Oh, Jang Tae Joo is going to Wellington.
That's a gift for you for coming to see me.
Oh, Tae Joo. You have a reservation in Wellington this weekend.
It looks like he's contacting private equity firms.
It seems that he's trying to buy something...
What does he think he can buy to become the chairman of Sung Jin Group?
What kind of person is Yoon Seol Hee?
Someone like Choi Sung Jae to you?
She smiles at me and she trusts me.
I don't need to calculate anything in front of her.
Stop, Choon Ho.
I've gone to summer bible school, so I know a lot about the Bible.
Do you want to know why Adam was kicked out of Eden?
He ate something that the boss told him not to eat.
Put it down.
Your mother wants me to check on the furnace today.
- Right after work... - Don't go, Choon Ho.
Don't be seen by my Mom.
This is Yoon Seol Hee.
This is Choi Seo Yoon. Let's have a cup of tea.
That's too bad, I'm really busy today.
Iced green tea please.
There is a real estate strategy team in Sung Jin Economic Research Institute.
Everyone studied a lot, but... you know about real estate.
Field experience is important.
They're looking for a researcher, so I thought of you.
I'll help with your career, too.
The career in this field means the number of seals stamped on the contract.
Thank you for the thought.
Isn't half of land business fraud?
With a career of a research in an economic research institute
there will be more people falling for you.
You must not experience any embarrassing moments in what you do.
You're selling lots for a silver town, right?
Getting two, three times the cost from the elders who saved money all their lives.
It'll end when Tae Joo comes back.
He'll come back soon, and it'll be over shortly after.
Jang Tae Joo won't go back.
You must think this is the eye of the storm.
When you stay on the outside, the wind is strong.
So you have to endure the wind and get through the rain
to get to the eye of the storm where it's peaceful.
But, Ms. Yoon Seol Hee...
once you're inside, you can't go out again.
To go out, you have to go through the storm again.
Leave.
My Tae Joo will be late today. He has dinner plans with me.
He must not be feeling well.
He had porridge for breakfast and he skipped lunch.
Korean food will be good for Mr. Jang Tae Joo's dinner.
That's too bad. I guess you're falling for Tae Joo.
I'll tell you how Tae Joo feels.
What he has with you is a deal.
With me, it's a promise.
What's more important? Between a deal and a promise.
You must have broken a lot of promises for a deal
and I think it's worse for Mr. Jang Tae Joo.
- I wonder what you want to know? - I came to find out how I feel.
After sharing the same room for a few years
a lot of things are happening in my mind.
Was it nice to see me today, Ms. Yoon Seol Hee?
The 170 billion that Auto needs to pay to the affiliated companies...
it would be nice if you settled it from the Group.
Won Jae will listen to you anyway...
The fact that the safe in Auto is full of cash and there is no more room...
everyone in the Group knows about it.
We need to develop new cars
and get ready for exchange rate fluctuation.
We even finish separating the entities...
but trying to get the payment back from over 10 years ago is a bit--
Don't you know the fight over assets is worse for a divorced couple?
Oh, all your documents are destroyed.
I had a deal with you.
I exchanged one box for Auto and the other box with Chemical.
I can't look the other way between brother-in-law's...
Let's do another deal.
The 4 percent that you have and the 4 percent that Jung Yoon has...
If you give the combined 8 percent of Sung Jin Cement shares in my pocket
You have a good net profit this year
but I'll help you by making it a loss.
You're looking at the chairman's seat of Sung Jin Group.
Well, I got caught.
If you take our shares, Won Jae will raise Seo Yoon's hand.
The scale will balance again.
There is no way you'll be sitting at the chairman's seat.
You're the only one worried about me.
But, I will worry about myself.
You just decide if you'll eat from the table I set or not.
Call me before the Group's finance team has a meeting next week.
I have plans for the night.
To feed my Tae Joo, I made these with my own pretty hands.
I told you, I'm a good cook.
This is stir-fried noodle.
This is fish pancake.
And this one...
Don't be surprised.
Tada, braised sea squirt!
Tae Joo...
if you don't see Choon Ho, you'll know he's been hospitalized.
I read the news.
Chairman Choi Won Jae announced new management standards in the newspaper.
I came up with the three standards of new business management.
I heard the Russian crude oil project is going well, too.
I'm on that, too.
You're the one doing the new management and the Russian crude oil project
so why would people let Choi Won Jae sit at the chairman's seat?
My Tae Joo, do you want to stay in that house longer?
Seol Hee.
When I was in prison, I thought about this.
It'll be nice if everything's over when I am released.
If you don't succeed in what you're hoping for
then I can be the breadwinner.
Like this.
If you succeed in what you're hoping for
then I can live watching you smile in front of me.
Like earlier.
But, Tae Joo...
I keep thinking about this recently.
Maybe Tae Joo won't come back.
I had a hamster and he was on the wheel for hours.
I think the hamster thought the same thing.
'It'll be over if I run one more round.'
Just one more round.
Fool. It'll end if he stops.
Seol Hee, it'll be over soon.
Okay.
Seol Hee, wait just one more year.
Okay.
Isn't it good?
Choon Ho might be passed out somewhere.
Because the braised sea squirt was so good.
I'll pour you some water.
Would Jang Tae Joo make a move?
After putting Chairman Choi Won Jae in that seat
he's filling the seats around with his men.
He's trying to convince Jung Yoon's couple to stand next him, too.
Managing Director Jang Tae Joo has only one chance.
If he's not confident 100 percent that he can definitely win.
Then he won't reveal his plan.
House, clothes, food...
hands, feet, money...
The words for the most important things in life have only one syllable.
I thought about it.
With the stock price manipulation of Sung Jin Card
I could have pushed out Min Jae...
But why did I...
This is Choi Seo Yoon.
Why did I cancel the meeting with the chief prosecutor
and protect Sung Jae?
Me.
Sung Jae was the life that I wanted to live.
Choi Seo Yoon was at Eden.
I heard from Choon Ho.
She met with President Yoon for a long time...
I know.
Choi Seo Yoon would like me to make a move.
She'd know how to defend herself once she knows where I'm attacking.
Financial Supervisory Service and the Ministry of Finance are not done yet.
And the private equity firm in New Zealand is not a sure thing either.
It'll take at least a year.
We'll be ready by then, Managing Director Jang...
- If we start now-- - The chances are cut by half.
The important words have one syllable.
Me.
Sung Jae to me, and Yoon Seol Hee to Jang Tae Joo.
It's myself that I want to protect
so he'll make a move.
I can't make Seol Hee wait longer.
Managing Director Jang.
Let's start.
I'll raise the probability as we proceed.

Enjoy your lunch. You'll be stepping down from the chairman's seat soon.
Now that I'm sitting in the chairman's seat, I can see.
What I should do, how I should do it...
You can't hang on to that seat for too long. Let's get our stuff together before that.
I'm not leaving. I'll make Choi Seo Yoon go outside.
- Is anyone getting a divorce? - I'll be the one.
If he owns Sung Jin Group, would my Tae Joo be satisfied?
I should stop Tae Joo from getting close to the chairman's office first.
Get ready to return to the Group. The last fight between Jang Tae Joo and I...
Has begun.
