Episode 7
Jung Yoon and Dong Hui are not answering their phones.
Seo Yoon...
let's stop the recapitalization.
- Let's reconsider the stake... - No!
I'll proceed with the recapitalization of Sung Jin Construction as planned.
Min Jae, Jang Tae Joo... and everyone who participates in the recapitalization...
will all sink together.
I'll make that happen, Dad.
Prepare the money to pay for the stocks by end of day.
Sung Jin Group will be in the hands of my Sung Jae by tomorrow.
I'm going to send Won Jae abroad.
I'll give Auto to Dong Hui...
Then Jung Yoon and Dong Hui will both be on your side.
Seo Yoon will go back to teaching...
Recapitalization, reconstruction... she has too much dirt on her hands.
How could she touch a white chalk with those hands?
When I hand over Auto to Dong Hui...
I'm going to hand him the documents on Seo Yoon's law evasion.
She'll be reading books and studying in there for a few years.
If you need some air, go horseback riding.
Seo Yoon taught me how to ride a horse and a bicycle, Mom.
I'm not athletic at all
but Seo Yoon held the back of my bicycle for over a week when I was seven...
She's a good sister.
She washes the dishes
then she sets the table for you.
I'll hold on to the Group until you finish school.
I'm going to start by changing the name.
From Sung Jin Group...
to Chung Ma Group.
Your father liked the poems by Yoo Chi Hwan... 'Flag.'
This is a silent roar.
Sung Jae, that's how I've lived my life
for the past twenty some odd years...
just because I wanted to hear Choi Dong Sung's scream just once.
When I held him, prepared his medicine, and wiped sweat off his forehead...
that's how I lived.
Silent roar.
Now's the time for us to make a sound.
Say goodbye to them both.
When I pay for the stocks in the recapitalization at the family meeting tomorrow
they'll find out who I am
and who my Sung Jae is.
Tonight will be the last time you call them
'father' and 'sister'.
Tomorrow afternoon, Sung Jae...
you'll have Sung Jin Group in your hands
and hear Choi Dong Sung's scream
and we'll leave this house.
I secured three institutional investors as angel investors.
After the recapitalization, we'll combine our shares.
The deadline for participating in the recapitalization is 10:00 tomorrow morning.
That's when Won Jae will become the Chairman of Sung Jin Group.
And Min Jae, you will become the Vice Chairman?
Until we get rid of the executives on Seo Yoon's side, I should help Won Jae.
There is a family meeting at 10:00 tomorrow morning.
They'll want the shares from me and my wife to be on Seo Yoon's side.
Hey hey Dong Hui! We already finished the deal with you getting Auto...
Won Jae, I didn't sleep at all last night.
My father-in-law is like a real father to me.
It makes me feel uncomfortable to go against his wishes...
On top of Auto and the Department Store... I'll add Oil to a separate entity for you.
Let's do that, Won Jae.
So that Dong Hui can get a good night's sleep tonight.
Within a month, we'll have ten of Sung Jin's affiliate companies in our hands.
Tae Joo, Sung Jin Group is not a game we used to play on a playground when we were little...
The game is too big.
You're still young.
- Let me give you some advice. - Next time.
All or nothing.
I went all in with the down payment deposit.
If we fail... embezzlement, misappropriation of public assets, fraud.
It's 1994 now.
The 20th century will disappear for me.
I'm sorry, I can't smile with you right now.
Let's laugh together later.
After we have ten of Sung Jin Group's affiliate companies in our hands.
Tae Joo...
it's a fight within the family of Sung Jin Group.
There is no way their companies will easily come to us...
They stole them, too.
Of the 42 affiliates, Choi Dong Sung created only four of them.
For the rest of them, they didn't pay what was due, they stole technology
and put pressure on funds. That's how they stole them.
Let's steal theirs too.
On the first drawer of the desk in the library, there's dried red ginseng.
Please make sure to take that twice a day, Father.
There was a lady named Dangol Mom.
She was a shaman in my neighborhood when I was growing up.
She lost her mind performing an exorcism on top of the blades.
I was so afraid of looking her in the eye...
that I went around a hill to get to elementary school.
Sung Jae...
are you afraid of me?
Since that day when your uncle came by
you haven't even looked me in the eye, my Sung Jae.
Father...
I'm sorry.
The hands that held you killed your father.
The Chancellor told me... that your thesis was great.
The thesis would've passed even without my call
so keep your shoulders up when you go to school.
Father.
What are we going to do about your teary eyes?
Chairman Kim of Dae Min Group put his house in Sungbuk-dong on the market.
You went to that house to play when you were in kindergarten.
You said you liked the swings and even the pond in the backyard
and you said you wanted to live in a house like that, right Sung Jae?
I put the deed of the house under your name.
Father.
When you get married and move out, live in that house.
Have tea with your wife next to the pond
and push the swing for your child.
The things I couldn't do for my children because I was too busy...
I wanted to do them for my grandchildren.
When I get married and have children
I'll tell them a lot about you.
Just don't talk bad about me.
Stay close with Seo Yoon like you are now.
I put your load on Seo Yoon's back.
It'll be tough and heavy.
Okay.
She wouldn't be the one to say that it's tough and heavy.
Talk to her often
and take her out to get some air too.
I'll remember you for a very long time, Father.
When you get married and move out, live with your Mom in Sungbuk-dong.
She always feels cold
so set up her room on the first floor with lots of sunlight
and no wind coming through.
Live slowly until you are a hundred years old.
Even if I miss you, I'll be patient
so have a happy life for a long time before you come.
Father...
Won Jae will attend the family meeting tomorrow.
Min Jae will probably go to the presidents' meeting tomorrow.
Just let him be.
I have a plan, Director Park.
Sis.
Here it is, Lee Tae Joon's Museorok.
Read them this month and check with me at the end of the month.
Even for a business management major, humanities comes first
and literature is the foundation.
Here.
Don't drive the car yourself. Always have a driver even for a short distance.
Your driving is pretty bad.
I've had my license for 10 years, Mr. I Got My License Last Year.
Don't drink more than half a bottle of soju.
And just one bottle of beer.
You're not good at drinking, but you have a lot of pride...
Sung Jae, you...
When you're angry or upset, don't try to feel better by eating.
You get indigestion a couple times a week.
Always have digestive medicine ready.
Who is it this time?
The girl who hurt my Sung Jae's heart.
I remember...
After you got rejected on your first blind date in college
you were angry at me for two hours.
And after you broke up with Mi Jin, you were in a bad mood for a week.
My brother's so handsome. Why don't girls see that?
My problem is that I learned about dating from you.
My problem is that I learned about dating from books.
It's been a while since I saw you smile.
Sung Jae, just one hour a day, no...
be with me for an hour every other day like this.
Answer me, kiddo.
I hope you smile tomorrow, too.
I will smile.
I'm going to ask them... for our family to smile together.
I have a plan.
The money that's deposited to participate in the recapitalization...
all of it will disappear.
Won Jae, Jung Yoon and Dong Hui...
they'll lose everything and get kicked out of the Group.
I wish I didn't have to see that happen, Sung Jae.
If you pay for the stocks in the recapitalization of Sung Jin Construction
all of the money will disappear?
That's what Seo Yoon said?
Mom, don't pay for the shares.
Mom, maybe we need to stay in this house until Father passes away.
All 42 presidents are waiting in the meeting room.
Offer a virgin, it will rain.
Offer a baby, the rain will stop.
People have been make offerings to get what they want for a long time.
But Director Kang...
no one wants to be the offering.
They want to be the priest who conducts the ceremony.
I'm sorry, Min Jae.
I'll take care of myself from now on.
Min Jae...
don't go.
I put everything I have as an offering.
It's the altar that will determine the owner of Sung Jin Group.
I'm going to be the priest this time.
Good to see you.
I'm Choi Min Jae, Director of Sung Jin Construction.
Sung Jin Construction will become a holding company of Sung Jin Group soon.
Let me introduce myself again.
I'm Choi Min Jae, deputy of the Vice Chairman Choi Won Jae of Sung Jin Group...
with 14% of the Sung Jin Construction shares.
Good to see you.
Let me tell you the motion of the meeting.
It's a motion to elect Choi Won Jae for Chairman and Choi Min Jae for Vice Chairman.
This is the first time I went to the bathroom three times after being constipated for 20 years.
I'm so nervous.
Ten minutes left.
Either eat 10 of Sung Jin Group's affiliate companies
or eat black bean rice in prison for over 10 years.
Tae Joo, you have to win.
In this world where I've never won...
Tae Joo, try winning at least once.
Yes, Father.
Seol Hee...
stay by my side.
We have five minutes left.
Lord Kim's man is waiting at Shin Il Trading.
If you pay for the shares now...
If it goes as Seo Yoon planned
all the cash I've saved over 25 years will disappear.
Everyone will know what I want and who Sung Jae is.
Ma'am, if you don't pay for the shares...
If Seo Yoon's plan doesn't work out, Won Jae and Min Jae will be owners of the Group.
Ma'am, it's time to make a decision.
You might find out about something from the Chairman...
Choi Dong Sung... went to the doctor.
Find out... if he really went to the hospital.
- Won Jae! - Hello!
- Did you have breakfast? - Of course we did.
I'll get this over with soon and treat you to lunch.
The first lunch I buy as the Chairman of Sung Jin Group.
- What do you want to eat? - What should we have?
Whatever is fine.
The Chairman doesn't have an appointment at the hospital.
Dr. Park is also in Jeju Island for a seminar right now.
- Stop the payment for the shares. - I will.
You have to stay on Managing Director Choi Seo Yoon's side right now, ma'am.
I know.
Seo Yoon is a lucky girl.
Although that luck won't last for more than a few years.
I remember the day when Won Jae was leaving for Europe.
Seo Yoon was busy working to stop Won Jae's appearance in the prosecutor's office.
She got sick for three, four days after Won Jae left.
She must have gone through a lot at such young age.
Thanks to that, she became Dad's favorite. It was worthwhile.
I should've gone through that trouble myself, Seo Yoon.
The loud voice among the children that goes outside the house is a shame to your Father.
I hope you all can come together in this meeting.
Seo Yoon.
Was it a Pomeranian?
A rare, purebred puppy about this size.
The one Dad received as a gift from the royal family in the Middle East when I was a child.
Gurumi.
Right, Gurumi.
Your memory is amazing.
Dad told me to raise her.
You and Won Jae were both jealous.
After about two years, Gurumi had four babies.
One for Won Jae, one for Jung Yoon, Sung Jae was too young.
And we gave two to Min Jae's family.
Won Jae, Jung Yoon...
Consider this the same thing.
You'll grow Sung Jin Group and give some of it to us?
Why would you look at us like idiots
who can't even take care of the companies that are handed out?
No, I know.
When I reviewed the Department Store, the projects were really good.
I was envious of your marketing skills.
And Dong Hui, you have enough leadership to be dispatched as a special prosecutor twice.
If you and Dong Hui work together, you can easily take care of 6,7 affiliated companies.
- Won Jae... - Wow...
now my Seo Yoon is grading, too.
Okay, Jung Yoon got 80 points... what did I get?
Tada!
This is what I think.
It won't be as much as you want
but I'll give you enough as son and daughter of Sung Jin Group.
But, Jung Yoon. Won Jae.
Not now.
Let's do what Dad wants now.
I'll take care of Sung Jin Group for now.
Like Gurumi.
After Dad leaves, I'll think about giving more.
When Myung Hoon becomes the Chairman after he turns 30
I will give you more.
Looking over my shoulder for Father and Seo Yoon...
I might have to look over my shoulder for my nephew after I turn 60.
Jung Yoon...
Dad will be here soon.
Let's show him when he comes back.
Let's greet him with smiles as a family, as siblings.
Father called me 'Jung Yoon' yesterday.
I guess we look alike.
Father's memory is worsening day by day.
The picture of our family in his memory, the last portrait of us...
I hope we leave a good impression on him.
Eun Jung, I heard you went to the department store yesterday.
The president and the executives were following you around while you were shopping.
That must have been nice.
I wonder how long that nice feeling will last.
Jung Yoon, please hear me out.
I threw out the puppy you gave me.
Guess you didn't know. I left it out on the street on a rainy day.
It was Gurumi that I wanted to raise.
But Dad said he didn't trust me.
After Gurumi had four puppies, Dad patted your head.
You gave one to each of us.
Dad told us, 'Raise them well like Seo Yoon did.'
So I threw it out.
- Jung Yoon... - I studied too.
But I wasn't as good as you.
I worked in the company too. But I wasn't as good as you.
But Seo Yoon, I'm still Dad's daughter.
Dad can't treat me like this, can he?
Here.
Seo Yoon... Won Jae told me he'd give me Auto, the Department Store and Oil too.
I thought about it all night.
If Father would be considerate of me just as much as Won Jae is.
If he'd be a little more considerate, then I'd also follow Father's...
Dong Hui.
Hey hey, Dong Hui, I'll add Electronics to that.
Wipe the tears off Jung Yoon's face.
How can you make your wife cry?
Seo Yoon, just give me the Department Store.
If you do, then before Dad passes away, I'll come visit him every day...
I'll talk to him, laugh with him and give him shoulder massages...
Jung Yoon.
When I become Chairman, Seo Yoon...
I'll buy you a puppy that looks like Gurumi, so raise her well.
And when she has babies, give one to me, okay?
For the last 25 years, I've never raised my voice even once.
I have to raise my switch today.
Seo Yoon...
I will give you my shares in the scholarship foundation.
Mom.
That's the switch.
Hit Won Jae, Jung Yoon and Dong Hui with that switch.
Seo Yoon, you teach them instead of me.
Seo Yoon, take the Construction shares in Sung Jin Academy, too. With that...
- Sung Jae! - Won Jae!
Father was worried about you again yesterday.
He can give me everything.
If he gives everything to the first son, he doesn't need to worry.
You haven't done anything right!
Hey!
Sung Jae, stay out of it.
This is a family matter.
Jung Yoon.
She came not even two years after our mom passed away.
I smiled to make Dad feel comfortable.
I called her 'Mom', but...
she must think she's our real mom.
Does he think he's our real brother?
Jung Yoon!
Stop.
Jung Yoon...
I consider you my own daughter...
Then you should be on my side right now!
Dad's giving me just three golf courses...
you should tell him that he can't!
Let's stop, Jung Yoon.
Right, let's not do this any more.
Min Jae, Jung Yoon and Dong Hui...
They deposited the payment for the shares of Sung Jin Construction.
The meeting of the presidents is going on right now.
I should be Chairman... just about now.
Let's stop. Seo Yoon...
I don't think I can smile today, Sung Jae.
Dad, I couldn't protect Mom.
I'm sorry I let her hear things she shouldn't have heard.
Don't worry. I'll stay with Mom.
Please proceed with our plan.
Destroy Sung Jin Construction, Dad.
The ones who paid for the shares of Sung Jin Construction...
destroy them with their money, Dad.
Of course... you'd like to know what the Chairman is thinking.
I will tell you.
Chairman Choi Dong Sung is gravely ill right now.
He cannot appear in front of anyone.
He can't fire you or promise you a future.
Right now, what I, Choi Min Jae, will say is the Chairman’s wish.
Start the vote.
The motion of appointing Choi Won Jae as Chairman and Choi Min Jae as Vice Chairman.
Per the clause 4-1 of the meeting by the presidents
we will hold a simple majority vote.
The Chairman has arrived.
Operation of elevator number 1 has been suspended.
The security team, begin Level A protection.
Strategic planning team, please stand by in the office.
The Chairman is coming.
Who's the youngest in the president group?
It's me, Choi Hang Ryul of Sung Jin Telecom.
I started in the company in 1966.
Oh, Hang Ryul!
I assigned him in the accounting department and he married a colleague within two months.
He was fast with making the woman he liked his own...
he was also fast in getting promoted, too.
Do you still get allowance from your wife?
If 1966 is the youngest one...
all of you who are presidents now must have started in Sung Jin Cement.
The cement plant that was 80 pyung became 1000 pyung, then 10,000 pyung...
And the Group grew a lot, enough to give all of you the title of president.
Now that I have enough, I miss my hometown.
The hometown of our Sung Jin Group is Sung Jin Cement.
Your companies have shares in the affiliate companies, right?
Send those home.
I'm going to make Sung Jin Cement a holding company.
All the shares of the affiliate companies will be transferred to Sung Jin Cement today.
Get it done before end of day.
I'm sure it needs to be done today.
Because you'll be declared incompetent tomorrow...
Chairman Choi Dong Sung.
Chairman Choi Dong Sung has anaplastic astrocytoma.
I'll make it simple.
Impairment in memory, speech, judgment...
It's a severe case of dementia.
The words and orders that Chairman Choi Dong Sung is saying right now...
It's possible that he could forget them in a few minutes.
It's Sung Jin Group that you spent your whole lives growing.
Because of the orders from a patient with a severe case of dementia...
who can't even judge right or wrong from what he just said...
will you leave the future of 60,000 Sung Jin families in his hands?
Yong Jae!
My brother Choi Yong Jae...
recently had his fourth anniversary.
Chairman, you sent him to prison then to heaven.
Do you remember?
You're all seeing this...
Chairman Choi Dong Sung, a patient with anaplastic astrocytoma...
Chairman Choi Dong Sung who will be declared incompetent tomorrow.
Chairman created the past.
I, Choi Min Jae, and Vice Chairman Choi Won Jae will open up the future together.
You call the waning memory of an old man dementia?
- Park Dal Hwan! - Yes, Chairman!
During Typhoon Sarah, on our way to give our aid of 2000 tons of cement...
the truck turned upside down, do you remember that?
You stayed with me in the clinic for two hours...
- Hwang Jung Shik! - Yes, Chairman!
When we won the cement bid from the National Land Reconstruction Agency
I bought you a house for a job well done. You still live in that house, right?
Nine of us, including my grandson, are living happily in that house.
- Jo Hyung Man! - Yes, Chairman!
The leg you hurt during the Gyeongbu Expressway
- it's still useful, isn't it? - It hurts only when it rains.
The machinery was loud in the cement plant.
We asked in a loud voice and answered in a loud voice.
Let's do it like we did then!
By the end of today... transfer all the affiliate shares to Sung Jin Cement!
Yes! Yes! Yes!
Major projects of Sung Jin Construction will be transferred to affiliate companies.
Give the bridge construction to Heavy Industry.
Civil Engineering will go to the Corporation.
Leave just a desk, a chair, and signage for Sung Jin Construction.
I'll leave the desks and chairs for Won Jae, Jung Yoon and Dong Hui.
Let's find a day and go on a field trip to the Cement Plant.
I'll pack the rice rolls, so Hang Ryul, you bring the drinks!
Yes, sir!
Father!
Talk to me for a second...
Dad! Dad, I'm sorry.
Father, please calm down.
Dad...
Wait down there.
This desk was made with a pine tree from Woonhyun Palace.
Prince Daewon oversaw Joseon from Woonhyun Palace at the end of the Korean Empire.
Oversee Sung Jin Group from this desk.
Dad.
If the Chairman stays in the office all day, then the employees become bothered.
Work from here in the morning...
and stop by at the company just for a short time later in the afternoon.
Dad, I'm not yet...
I'm sorry.
How would a 29-year-old hang on to this seat?
I don't have energy left to stay in this seat any longer.
I can be there for you if you want to talk.
If you have any problems, come find me.
Move all my stuff from here to my room.
I won't have any business coming here any more.
- Jung Yoon. Dong Hui. - Yes, Seo Yoon.
To be honest, I was going to follow Father's wish
but Won Jae said he'd add Auto and Oil to the Department Store...
Seo Yoon, I got tricked by Won Jae.
Please help me.
We borrowed 40 billion from the bank to pay for the shares... what do I do?
Three golf courses... will you still give me those, Seo Yoon?
Dad likes going for a walk with you.
Starting tomorrow, come home for two hours every day and take a walk with Dad and talk to him.
Okay, I will.
It's going to be hard for Dad to last more than three years.
I will give you one golf course every year.
In three years, all three golf courses will be yours.
Dong Hui, spend a weekend with Dad.
He can't play golf any more...
Gateball should be good for Dad's exercise.
I will, Seo Yoon.
And Jung Yoon, apologize to Mom.
Yes, of course.
Jung Yoon, Dong Hui.
Thank you, Seo Yoon.
Won Jae, come up here.
I'm sorry, Won Jae.
You were greedy
and I was clumsy.
We went far away to arrive somewhere so close.
I'll tell you again.
I'm going to take care of the Group then hand it to Myung Hoon.
This is Dad's wish.
I'm going to do that.
Seo Yoon.
It's too much for one person.
Take the seat of the Managing Director in the strategic planning division and help me.
Seo Yoon, I don't have any shares... I have nothing.
That's why I trust you now.
Min Jae is still in the Group.
I'll take care of Min Jae.
Won Jae.
Thank you, Seo Yoon.
Don't forget how you feel right now.
Set up a meeting with President Jang Tae Joo.
Tomorrow will be good.
The reconstruction was suspended today.
If we don't pay the construction fee in a few days, we'll be reported to the prosecution.
Let's do what Choi Seo Yoon tells us to do.
I checked everything on Sung Jin Group. She's not interested in you.
If we just get Choi Min Jae involved in the fraud and embezzlement of the down payment...
I don't care what Choi Seo Yoon says.
- Tae Joo! - I came to tell her what I wanted to say.
Hey!
Sang Goo, do you have a lighter?
I learned very well from how you made Hong Shik retire 10 years ago.
I said you'd get hurt if you were out by yourself...
Jo Pil Doo.
What's with this behavior in front of your elders?
Let's take a walk.
I've walked this far. Let's sit down.
'A very strong wind will blow. Be careful.'
Thank you for the advice.
It's thanks to you.
The proxy sale contract Min Jae signed with you is under legal review.
He escaped the fraud of the 100 billion down payment, but made you...
'The Sun and the Moon'... a tiger is chasing me...
and there is a rope coming down from heaven.
I won't grab the rope.
I'm going to fight the tiger.
I'll keep you safe, Mr. Jang Tae Joo...
You won the bet this time.
I won't accept a tiny cut.
Aren't you scared?
The prosecutor's investigation will start soon.
What I'll be scared of is...
possibly wagging my tail for you.
That I might get on my knees and beg you for my life.
That's what I'll be scared of.
But not yet.
He was sued dozens of times...
and investigated by the prosecutors several times.
He started with a cement plant and made big money from poor cement.
He took over perfectly fine companies by pressuring them with funds
and made 42 affiliate companies.
Your father, Chairman Choi Dong Sung.
I like him.
I'm going to live like Chairman Choi Dong Sung.
Jang Tae Joo... what kind of man is he?
Exactly the same as you and me.
When I first got into real estate, I had a big dream.
My dream was to be the pretty bitch who owned the most land in Korea.
I became the pretty bitch, but after going through this incident and that accident...
my liver shrank.
Now I just wish I had 200-pyung of land and a 10-story building in Gangnam.
You must have had a dream of owning the whole country.
After getting slapped by the powerful and getting hit in the back of the head by the rich
a district would have been nice, or a big cabaret would have been appreciated.
Jang Tae Joo still has the big dreams
that you and I had when we first started in a gang and in real estate.
Let me ask you.
Your father, Chairman Choi Dong Sung can live that way
so why not me?
An even stronger wind will blow. Be careful.
Prosecutor Kim, that's what I'm saying.
After being a prosecutor for 10 years, you must know right away.
My Min Jae wouldn't do that.
Why would he bother touching the apartment's down payment?
It's Jang Tae Joo, who did the proxy selling. Yeah, sure.
Let's meet at Daechunggak this evening. Okay.
It won't work. Seo Yoon already...
When I was doing well, the ones who got my money are finally doing their job today.
The one who got dispatched to the National Intelligence Service was...
right, Kim Duk Hwan!
I'm sorry. Yong Jae's not around
but I'll have to be away from you for a few years.
A man shouldn't lower his head!
Fine, I'll go.
When the prosecutor asks, just tell him that you did what I told you to do.
Tell him that the father used his son to embezzle the down payment...
Father.
It works like that. When a father and a son get investigated together
only one of them is sent to prison.
I went to prison three times for my brother.
I'll go one more time for my son.
My wife passed away from illness...
Yong Jae left in prison...
In this life of Choi Dong Jin, you're the only one left.
Min Jae, I can never stand to see you go to prison.
This is Choi Min Jae.
This is Jang Tae Joo. Can I see you now?
Choi Seo Yoon.
Just before, Choi Seo Yoon, she was sitting there.
Now, I guess she's in the office...
The company, the house... on the seat that Choi Seo Yoon is sitting on now...
I'll make you, Choi Min Jae, sit there.
Sung Jin Construction stock has been setting a record low price every day recently.
What used to be over 10,000 won is 800 won today.
No way to get our money back, or avoid the prosecutor's investigation...
Let's not avoid it.
Sung Jin Construction stock price will keep going down.
Maybe 500 won? 300 won?
Let's buy them.
Be nice to your wife.
Borrow some money from Daehan Bank
and purchase Sung Jin Construction shares at the current price.
Then you and I will become the majority shareholders of Sung Jin Construction.
We buy the sinking ship...
Let's make it float on the sea again.
Secure over half of the Sung Jin Construction shares at the current price
then you become the president.
I'll work from outside.
I'll buy land with no road access and develop it...
I'll start again on the bridge and civil projects...
Shopping buildings, shopping malls, and apartments!
Let's make some money.
I can't block the subpoena from the prosecutor for the both of us.
I said, let's not block or avoid it.
Let's go to the prosecutor's office hand-in-hand.
Sung Jin Construction just needs to guarantee the reconstruction project.
I'm sure the association members don't want an issue in the reconstruction.
They'll submit a petition for us.
If that happens, and if things go well, maybe we'll be out on bail.
Maybe a reprieve.
Sung Jin Construction will become a bundle of grapes hanging from Sung Jin Group.
The bundle of grapes that won't fall even if someone tried to make them.
Those grapes will eat up the stem
swallow the vine and eat up the roots.
How many years would that take?
Mr. Choi Min Jae, let's be friends until that day comes.
What is it that you want?
Half. Half of what you'll own.
Friends share everything equally.
Of course they do.
[Three years later, 1997]
- Tell Tae Joo to eat. - Okay.
Get up, Tae Joo.
Mom grilled yellow croakers!
Hee Joo... you like the guy you met on the blind date yesterday, right?
My Hee Joo, you'll get married soon!
This girl! I grilled the yellow croaker for you to share with Tae Joo!
Give him some.
Tae Joo needs to get punished.
What's the use of a smart brain
when he has no hair?
What's the use of a doctor when he's short?
What's the use of a house in Gangnam? His face lives in a trash dump.
Tae Joo really made an effort.
Hee Joo, you need to look at the inside of a man, not the outside...
Mom, he wants his own practice in Gangnam for a wedding gift.
- I don't need to know his inside... - We should do that at least.
If you get married to a doctor, I'll give him his own hospital
- and an apartment in Gangnam. - Tae Joo.
Can I just get married to a nice guy?
Find your own brother-in-law and Mom's son-in-law separately.
Where have all your good years gone?
Tae Joo, Ye Rin wants me to ask you for a job in Sung Jin Construction.
Your business card says President of Eden
but the rumor is that you're the hidden power of Sung Jin Construction...
It's not easy to find a job these days.
Tell her to call me.
Tae Joo, Hee Joo is still a baby.
You should meet a nice girl and get married first...
I can't, Mom.
I grew up looking at how pretty Hee Joo is, so I don't really find anyone attractive.
Eat, Tae Joo.
This is Jang Tae Joo.
President Kim of Han Sung Steel is here.
Make your trip to the pharmacy. I'll be there soon.
[Chan Ho 'Park Power' Goal of 10 Wins]
I didn't get much sleep watching Park Chan Ho's game late last night.
Isn't it really amazing?
A pitcher from our country struck out those big Americans.
Wow, Chan Ho Park!
And he makes a lot of money.
I'm really envious, Park Chan Ho.
Throwing balls under the blazing sun on a hot day is tough work. What are you envious of?
I'm envious of the woman who will become his wife.
Thinking about getting him good herbal tonic and spending all that money...
Tae Joo, I'm really envious of the children when I go to a restaurant that's really busy.
The mom's life is rusting in the kitchen, the dad's counting money at the counter...
Their children will spend all their money.
The plum is nice. Do you want another glass?
Please spare me, Director Jo. Please help!
Let's save someone first.
- What about the medicine? - Here.
President Jang, I'm sorry. I did you wrong.
Please, come this way.
No, President Kim.
A business could go under...
Payment can be delayed for over a year...
Running away after promising to meet can happen.
I understand all of it.
Put this on the wound, and take this pill.
There is one thing I'm disappointed about.
You should've taken care of the 3.7 billion construction fee of Sung Jin Construction.
President Jang, my Han Sung Steel will go bankrupt tomorrow.
There is no cash.
We know each other, so I don't need to get paid in money.
The patent and technology of constructing a steel plant that Han Sung owns...
all you need to do is to hand them over to Sung Jin Construction.
Then in turn, we'll give up the construction fee.
That's...
at least tens of billions...
When you're starving, you exchange a gold coin for a sweet potato.
Creditors will take over Han Sung Steel anyway
so take 3.7 billion at least and hand over the technology to Sung Jin Construction.
I know your wife and daughter fled to Singapore first.
You should meet them, they're your family!
I'm not allowed to leave the country...
My President Kim, you had a lucky dream.
I happen to have an extra passport.
The name is James Hong.
He looks exactly like you, President Kim.
There is also a plane ticket to Singapore tonight.
Forget everything, leave everything
and go to your family, President Kim.
