Please take my hand.
Sir, my hand. My hand.
You said you wanted to talk with Dae Hwa Group, correct?
I know the quickest and most accurate way; please take my hand.
One Month Ago
Chairman.
I have something to tell you. Please give me some of your time.
Chairman. Chairman! It will only be a moment.
Chairman!
15 Days Ago
Chairman, hold on a moment.
Hold on, hold on a moment!
It's really unfair [to me].
Chairman! Chairman!
Chairman, please save me!
One Day Ago
Chairman.
Please listen to what I have to say.
- What are you doing right now?- I've really been wronged.
- Secretary Heo!- Yes.
Please save me!
I am Dae Hwa's subcontractor
- and when the construction finished...- What are you waiting for, remove him.
Please help me, Chairman.
Get rid of him, quickly!
Wait, wait, wait a second.
Do you want to live?
Then, this piss that got on me because of you...
Lick it.
Who do you think you are blustering at?
Why?
Episode 11
Aigoo! Aigoo! You worried, right?
Aigoo! There is no problem here!
Please welcome President Hong Yoon Gi
who's going to tell us about today's topic (parodying a TV variety show).
There is no problem here, no problem at all.
Not at all.
- Darling!- You scared me.- Are you kiding me right now?
Have you gone crazy? Seriously! Take him away!
Honey! Honey, where are you going?
I'm just a bit dizzy but I'm perfectly fine.
Yes, for the employees' welfare,
Chairman Jeong Geum Mo who runs a bungee club! Let us meet him!
There he is, yes.
For the employees' welfare,
Chairman Jeong Geum Mo who works day and night! We will hear from him.
Mr. Jeong Geum Mo! Say a word.
- What are you doing right now?- Say something. They're requesting comment.
- See me.- I said, say something.
Yes, then. In a moment.
In a moment, he will comment.
We'll be back soon!
Are you hurt anywhere, Lawyer Jo?
Why are you being so awkward? Be yourself.
Shall we have tea somewhere? Or day-time alcohol?
Don't think of feeding me,
but you will have to explain yourself about the corruption involving subcontractors.
What explanation? I have no idea what you are talking about.
Why are you like this [between us]?
Do you think that man was crazy to think about jumping off from the top of the building?
I guess
you don't know because you've never been a chairman,
but there are several dozen subsidiaries under me, dozens of them.
What happened in all of them, of course I don't know very well.
Yes, I'm sure since you're so busy.
Look here, do you think the "Miracle on the Han River" over there happened for no reason?
Korea is living at least this well because of conglomerates like us.
Which country builds apartment buildings like us, quickly and well?
You must be very proud.
Either way,
a miracle is a miracle and an explanation is an explanation.
Oh, right. When is your SOB of a son coming back to Korea? Michael Jeong?
Since he's got the rabies, it's about time he came back.
He should get back soon so we can arrest him.
- You climbed all the way up there because you could not get the construction fees?- Yes.
If you did not get the payment, you should have gone to the Ministry of Employment and Labor or the Fair Trade Commission!
Why put on such a show on top of the Dae Hwa Housing building?
A show? Do you risk your life to put on a show?!
This person, where do you think you're raising your voice? Do you know how much we suffered because of you?!
Police officer, please calm down and...
Calm down? He's the one that should calm down!
Try going to the Fair Trade Commission.
When you go there, they say they can't do anything and tell you to start a civil lawsuit.
Do you think we can win in a civil lawsuit?
When Dae Hwa Group has big law firms working for it!
Do you think we can get the money?!
How much money do you have to receive?
Just how much is it?
Two...
- What? Two what?- Million.
Two... Two million?!
Is this why you were like this?
Drinking alcohol all day, sighing endlessly, and
all of a sudden, asking me for a divorce?
Is this why you did those things?
I see... So you went there to threaten them to give you money or you'd jump off, right?
'Threaten' my ass, this person, seriously...
Why are you guys here in the blink of an eye?
Where are you going around by yourself, when you have your counsel here?
This person had no thought of jumping, from the beginning.
What are you talking about? I was there from the beginning!
You saw from the beginning and you're still saying these things?
He was greeting me, saying it was nice to meet me.
And we lost our footing, that's why we fell.
Does that make any sense to you?
It makes sense so I'm saying it!
We were shaking each other's hands, saying "nice to meet you," right?
We were standing there and suddenly, the wind blew like this.
That's why we fell!
Then, what do we do? We can't hang on, that's impossible.
There was a commotion related to a suicide jump from a downtown building today around 1 p.m.
Mr. Hong claimed he worked as Dae Hwa Housing's subcontractor but
did not get paid for the construction work.
CEO Ahn, what are you doing?
I entrusted you with a subsidiary and you mortify me like this?!
S-Sorry. I'm sorry, sir.
Sorry? What are you sorry for? Do you think rolling your pen on documents makes you a CEO?
Can you not even handle these things?!
I'm sorry, I'm sorry!
Chairman, Geum San's Managing Partner Jang Shin Woo is here.
Tell them to come in.
- Wait for me outside.- Yes, sir...
You called, Chairman?
It's been a long time. I'm Kim Tae Jeong from Geum San.
You have heard about the earlier commotion?
Yes, I heard the news.
We will sort out the situation and try to reach a satisfactory settlement...
Settlement? What settlement do you speak of?
For non-payment of construction fees, a subcontractor of Dae Hwa Housing is...
Do I need to hear this kind of explanation from you?!
We can just let the subordinates take care of those bastards.
Jo Deul Ho... What's that bastard up to, again?
- Ah yes...- Managing Partner Jang, didn't I tell you over and over again?
We have to nip those kinds of bastards in the bud?
Why don't you take care of the problem at hand first and worry about this later?
- If handled wrong, you might suffer from the whiplash of public opinion.- Public opinion...
Did I get cussed out by the public just once or twice?
You're telling me to do whatever Jo Deul Ho orders out of fear of that?
The Chairman is correct. We can't just listen to them.
Oh, now we finally have someone I see eye-to-eye with!
Yours is a face that grows on me.
Thank you.
Managing Partner Jang, haven't you gotten too soft nowadays?
How could that be?
Jo Deul Ho, that bastard has declared war on us already.
What we have to wage now
is not a settlement but a war.
A winning war.
Have you ever heard of the most powerful of the powerful?
The unfair business practice of construction companies
is at a level where they are leeching off subcontractors.
Roughly how much was unpaid?
Over two million.
That much?
That's not all. The money I have to pay my subcontractors is
over ten million.
Then, your business operation must be in a mess.
Because of creditors who come to collect their money everyday,
the company operation has long become paralyzed.
Because I could not pay my workers on time, all of them left one by one.
All company fixtures and equipment were levied on.
The borrowing limit...
The money we could borrow under my and my wife's names was already borrowed to the max.
Now, banks won't even lend a dime to me.
Had you paid on time, this would not have happened.
I was in such dire straits, I even used loan sharks' money.
But because I could not pay back,
I suffered all sorts of humiliation.
The loan sharks overran even the shop where my wife works,
and she was put in such a difficult position.
What is the good tactic you speak of?
I think the best thing to do is to corner Hong Yoon Gi.
That is right. Who does not have any flaw?
We'll comb through for even trivial infractions.
Among them, why don't you select the ones that could be represented as corruption
and try tainting them?
Then, I will leave that to Geum San to handle.
And as to Jo Deul Ho, how do you want us to dispose of him?
I...will take care of that.
How on earth did you get yourself into this situation?
You said you continued to do the construction work all this time.
In the beginning, our contract price with Dae Hwa Housing was $6.4 million.
But in the middle of the work, Dae Hwa unilaterally cut down the price to
$5.4 million, which was agreed to.
Why did you agree to it?
If I didn't, they would simply not pay and
try to get past it with empty promises of more future work.
- You have to pay us so we can work.- Aish, enough!
And the work got delayed for various reasons
and additional construction costs of $1.5 million were incurred.
Paying this money, also, they dragged their feet using delays as an excuse.
They ended up not paying me even a cent.
Even building materials, they won't specify them in a contract but will change them at will.
And later, they would try to get out of it, using the absence of contract as an excuse.
They would hire a professional building inspection company and come up with all sorts of flaws
to delay the construction-work schedule on purpose.
Come on, lift it up.
Even if a worker got hurt during the construction work,
there were numerous occasions of not buying worker's compensation coverage as a cost-cutting measure.
In this horrible state, I have hung in as much as possible.
But I think I have reached my limit now.
Why haven't you told me about this until now?
When you said we are family!
You mom said she would talk to you about it, but I said no.
You should have told me. This is too much!
How could you...
You could not have hung in a moment longer.
This is totally mafia-like. They are no different from highway robbers, just without knives.
I don't think this is your first time experiencing this.
You can look at it as a customary relationship between the haves and have-nots,
but to those who actually suffer through it,
every moment is pure hell.
On top of it, the "kickback" was a heavy burden.
Kickback?
I give about 20-30%.
Without it, I cannot line up the next work.
This is totally skinning a flea for its hide.
On top of it, wining and dining,
golfing with the person in charge, and all kinds of gifts and donations...
I have heard from Mom
that he even left at dawn to pick up somebody else's bar tab.
These sons of bi*ches are even worse than loan sharks.
At some point, I got into a situation where more work meant more debt.
Now, really, I have nowhere to run to.
The kickback... who did you give it to?
There was a person at Dae Hwa Housing
with the title of Coordinations Director.
- His name was Lee Myeong Joon.- Lee Myeong Joon?
Coordinations Director?
Have you located Lee Myeong Joon?
I am sorry, not yet.
Son of a bi*ch...
He disappears on me after all the looking after I gave him?
He's playing around with me, thinking his donsaeng will cover for him, huh.
Lee Myeong Joon, that man is not even human.
I saw him coming here!
- What is this?- Oh, there he is!
Aish, really!
President IOU!
We finally meet. President, my butt.
Hey, Mr. Hong, what are you going to do about our money, huh?!
Just give us the money. When we've done all the work, you should pay us, why aren't you paying us?
If we hadn't seen the news, we would not have known that he was with that lawyer.
President, why don't you give us our money already?
Did you at least buy life insurance before you tried to kill yourself?
If you die, then what about us?
Look here, look here!
Talk it out!
Look here, everyone!
What do you think you're doing at another person's business place?
Oh, right. From the look of it,
this is where his daughter works, right?
We can't get paid anyway. So let's just take everything here, everything.
Take what?
Take what, you punk!
What do you think you're doing?
Let go of me!
What are you doing?
Stop movement! Stop all movement!
STOP ALL MOVEMENT!
These people, really, what do you think you're doing right now, huh?
What are you going to do after taking it? Transporting it will cost more than what it's worth.
I will get all the money for the president and pay you.
So calm down and let's talk.
Can you be responsible for what you just said?
Yes, I will be.
Who the heck are you?
I am Jo Deul Ho, lawyer, the neighborhood lawyer, Jo Deul Ho, Esquire.
If you don't get the money, you take responsibility!
Yes, I will take responsibility. Sit down and let's talk.
Sit down.
Let's hear what he has to say.
Aish, does this office have bad feng shui vibes?
Hello.
What?!
Stick one there too. Be thorough.
Move aside.
My mother left me this, no!
Please, Ahjussi!
Hurry, hurry.
- Mom!- What are you trying to do?
- What are you trying to do?- Move aside.
What are you people trying to do?
Hey, move, move.
Get out of the way.
No!
Do you know what it feels like to lose even the shirt off your back overnight?
Hurry and come out!
Ahjussi, how can you do this, really?
That's why I told you to leave already!
Stop yelling!
I left Geum San.
Did you leave on your own?
You did well. You can just interview with another firm.
There are so many group orders from morning. It smells good.
What do we do about our loan payments?
I will get a job soon and pay it off in no time, don't worry.
I can't hold it in anymore.
This is all because of Dae Hwa's tyranny.
Are you alright?
Do you want a drink?
Here.
You weren't thinking of going into the water, were you?
It's really cold.
You'll need a tube to go in. Otherwise, 911 will come running.
This happened last time as well.
When my dad was alive, too, we always got kicked out
and it was hard to make ends meet.
I think my life is just like this.
As soon as I think I've overcome one thing, something else will engulf me.
That's just how it is.
That's what life is.
Because there are waves, you can overcome something.
If there were no waves, you would think it would be great, but it would be boring.
Yes.
Think how much your parents would suffer.
At times like this, you have to think straight, eat a lot,
sleep a lot, and sing. Sing really loudly.
Aish, water skiing so noisily. Why can't they be more sensitive to this atmosphere?
Are you okay?
Sing a song loudly, a song. At the top of your lungs. You have to sing like this.
♪ I am the Prince of Ocean! ♪
♪ You are the Queen of Defense! ♪
♪ That makes us the lovers of the Han River! ♪
The lyrics don't make sense.
Let me think... what were the lyrics?
Come inside, Mom.
What are you doing?
We'll just go to a motel.
No! There's plenty of space for three people.
Will you be okay?
Family members live rubbing shoulders, to begin with.
I'm sorry, our daughter.
What's wrong with you? I'm all right, okay?
- Shouldn't we catch him?- Of course we should.
Lawyer, about Dae Hwa's Coordinations Director Lee Myeong Joon,
I think he totally burrowed himself in somewhere. I cannot find any records.
Now, the one who received the kickback was Lee Myeong Joon.
The one who delayed the work schedule so as not to pay the rest of the contract price was Lee Myeong Joon, too.
We'll have to find him no matter what and make him fess up.
But where can we find a guy who is hiding out somewhere on purpose?
If you hide out somewhere on purpose, where would you go?
- Philippines. - Hong Kong.
- A deserted island?- Good, good.
Let's start at his house first.
No, why would a guy hiding out be at his house? He probably skipped town or left the country.
I got it, so let's start from his house then, let's not go to the Philippines, Hong Kong, or an uninhabited island.
What are you talking about? But my clothes...
Let's go.
It's been a while.
Let's go, go, go.
Let's go. Let's go, go, go.
Have you gotten addicted?
To what?
Being on the news or becoming Superman.
- That's not it...- What's wrong with you?
Did you set your mind on living like that on purpose?
Are you taking those cases on purpose? Are you some stunt man?
The person who was on the building top today was Lawyer Lee Eun Jo's father.
And the opponent is Dae Hwa Group.
Isn't this enough motive for me?
I don't know.
I don't know until when you're going to play Superman.
But think carefully.
What is really for Soo Bin's best interest.
Don't come whenever you want anymore.
This is not a place where you can come just because you want to.
Why did you make kimchi stew for breakfast?
Oh, Soo Bin... this is...
my favorite dish. Kimchi stew.
You're a prosecutor, not a cop.
Promise me you won't do this anymore.
Are you taking those kinds of cases on purpose?
The person who was on the building top today was Lawyer Lee Eun Jo's father. And the opponent is Dae Hwa Group.
Isn't this enough motive for me?
♪ I'm dreaming again I'm walking toward heaven ♪
♪ I'm approaching you, I'm leaning on you, hold me. ♪
♪ You who fill my cold heart ♪
♪ came like rain into my heart ♪
♪ What I don't understand is even in my dream where I can almost touch your hand ♪
Superman daddy. I watched TV today.
My dad was flying.
I was surprised at first,
but I felt reassured seeing my dad walk out coolly.
Was my dad trying to help someone again?
They will soon pick the Prosecutor General, right?
Yes, I don't expect too much.
Between you and me, let's not lie.
I know you have your heart set on it.
I heard that you met with the Attorney General as well.
Don't you trust me?
That's not it.
I wast just networking as usual.
The talks are going well, so don't worry.
Thank you for your care.
Lately, all of a sudden, what do you call that...
transparent nomination and stuff...
It's even more costly, nothing to sneeze at.
Is that right?
Still, you will have to be the Prosecutor General so I can rest easier, right?
I consider it all an investment for myself. So don't feel beholden.
If we can only take care of that bastard Jo Deul Ho somehow...
I would be able to sleep in peace.
Even if he jumps, he cannot get out of our palm. Don't concern yourself too much.
Oh, is that right?
- Are you leaving?- Yes.
Have you seen the news?
Are you talking about Jo Deul Ho?
He seems to have found fun in appearing in the news.
It seems he will bother Dae Hwa Group again.
Not surprising at all.
He will keep doing that until he gets what he wants.
Are you going to leave him be?
Even if he keeps at it, it's like attacking a rock with an egg.
He keeps getting piggyback rides on the media because he cannot get anything done on his own.
He cannot break a rock with an egg, but can't he stain it?
Don't worry.
Father.
Do I have to become an egg or a rock?
What are you talking about?
I feel like I'm becoming more and more of a fool.
I don't know what I ought to do and how I ought to act.
- Prosecutor Shin.- Yes.
Why do you think blinkers are put on racehorses?
So that they can just look straight ahead and run.
So that they don't look at other hoses running beside them and get scared.
I told you you should listen to me.
I bet $1,000 on that jerk not appearing here ever.
- You mean it, right?- Of course.
- Just wait. I have feelers.- Those darned feelers.
Is he here?
- What the hell, is she a thief?- Isn't she breaking in? Aigoo.
Wait and see.
- Is she his wife?- No, his wife and kids are in the UK.
Or a lover? Wow, for a fugitive, he sure is capable.
She has the keys and she knows the passcode. What does that make her?
Not an ordinary relationship.
Aigoo, she's coming out, carrying something.
♪ Realizing at the end of my wandering, I have one belief. If it’s not right, it’s not right. Draw a clear line and let’s go. The world needs someone like me. ♪

Oh, I'm sorry. You looked so much like my real sister, I'm sorry.
Yes, I am here.
What are you talking about? I didn't drink, really.
Enough, do you think I always drink?
Yes, I'm hanging up. Excuse me.
Is the water pressure good on the 25th floor, Student?
Yes.
Water won't come out on the 23rd floor.
It has to rush out, but it trickles out. So when I take showers...
Oh, Oppa, I'm inside the elevator right now.
I understand. I miss you too. Wait just a little bit more, okay?
Are the pipes rusty or something?
I heard that a new management company is in charge now.
Good-bye. Is the water pressure good on the 17th floor?
Oh, Oppa, why are you outside? I said I would be here any minute now.
It was Chairmen Jeong, right? Does that mean among him, her and that guy there's a love triangle?
- Be quiet.- Okay.
Geum San Law Firm
This morning, Jo Deul Ho filed a complaint against Dae Hwa Group.
You have to got to give it to him when it comes to recklessness.
He must have a heart of steel.
I will take on this case.
No need. Attorney Kim has already begun working on it.
Dad!
Attorney Kim is good with civil lawsuits. He has handled quiet a few cases involving conglomerates.
If we stumble this time, it won't look good for either Geum San or Dae Hwa.
- So you...- It is not for some other reason?
There is no other reason.
I have something I have to prepare for.
So I'll take my leave first.
Don't you trust me?
It's not a good picture to go up against your ex at a trial.
It's just work.
I trust you in everything else.
However, when it comes to Jo Deul Ho, I cannot trust you.
The fact that you drew him into our family, to begin with, that means you can waver.
The way I see it, you seem to be wavering more.
Oh, were you looking for me?
Were you already getting ready for this case?
It happened that way. I didn't get to tell you beforehand.
Report the progress to me.
Umm, of course, I've always reported to you.
- There is something, right?- What something?
Something I don't know.
What is there that you don't know about, Attorney Jang?
Aish, nothing really.
Isn't it a bit awkward to face off with your ex? And this case is a bit of a stretch, to begin with.
Is that really all there is to it?
Of course. I will promptly report to you all the progress.
Okay.
By the way, aren't you being too sensitive lately?
I mean about Jo Deul Ho...
About Attorney Jo Deul Ho.
Work hard.
I think I will just take off today.
I can't go to work and leave you alone.
Go and come back later. I'll be alright.
You cannot have bad thoughts again, okay?
Really?
Eun Jo, I'm sorry, but stay with Dad.
Oh, don't worry and go to work.
See you later.
Honey, cheer up, okay?
I'm sorry.
Don't say that.
This isn't your fault.
I just... wanted to live diligently and do my best...
You know... if you need anything, don't feel burdened.
I will be at your side while you stay here.
Lee Myeong Joon
Dae Hwa Group's Coordinations Director Lee Myeong Joon.
This person oversaw all subcontractors
and managed all kickbacks paid by them.
Lee So Jeong is Lee Myeong Joon's younger sister.
Not knowing that, we thought they were lovers.
Isn't it more amazing that she is with that old fart?
Now, Lee So Jeong is Chairman Jeong's kept woman.
No matter how money hungry she is, why did she do that?
- They were so lovey-dovey with each other. "Oppa!" - Stop it, it makes me cringe.
Now, now, now, what I am saying is
all the kickbacks from the subcontractors through Lee Myeong Joon
ultimately ended up in Chairman Jeong's pocket. That's 100% certain.
So you mean if we follow Lee So Jeong at close range, we can find Lee Myeong Joon.
- Yoo Shin, you follow her closely.- I got it.
Lee Myeong Joon will come to see her.
- Can't I do that?- You have to come with me to meet other subcontractors.
- Don't let Mr. Hong Yoon Gi out of your sight.- I won't.- Why should you not?
Because he must be psychologically very unstable.
Yes, right. We don't know what he will try to do.
Miss Ae Ra, please look further for Lee Myeong Joon's whereabouts.
What are you guys doing? Let's move it.
First of all, I have warned all subcontractor companies except Hong Yoon Gi's Yang Joon Company.
They will all stay quiet if they want to keep getting work from Dae Hwa Group.
How about that Hong Yoon Gi bastard?
I have filed a suit to invalidate any debt you might owe to him.
I am planning to go after him legally for obstruction of business as well.
At any rate, I cannot forgive those impertinent losers who dare to challenge me.
Do not show him any mercy or sympathy.
Yes, sir.
But... what about Jo Deul Ho?
That punk is truly unforgivable.
I heard that you are the employees at Mr. Hong Yoon Gi's company.
Yes.
But what brings you...
We haven't received our pay for three months.
Because we could no longer trust in and wait for President Hong, we reported him to the Ministry of Employment and Labor.
He used to pay us little by little when money came in,
but we haven't received anything for three months!
So what do you all want?
Because you're a lawyer, you must know the legalities very well.
We will sue President Hong Yoon Gi for unpaid wages and fraud.
Must you go through this route?
I know you worked with him for more than five years...
We have no choice. We don't have anything to live on!
I see we have a group of clients. Should I make coffee?
Dae Soo, good timing.
Now, this person here is President Bae Dae Soo, a private lender.
You don't have to introduce me...
Now, I will personally guarantee the payment (of your wages). If I can't pay, this person will.
W-What did you say you're doing?
Let's guarantee the payment of wages.
The money he could not receive from Dae Hwa Group, I will make sure that I get it.
So, please trust me and put off any legal action.
I'm sorry, but we've held it in as much as we could.
Please relay this message to the president: come to receive a police investigation one of these days.
Let's go.
Hold on, wait. Wait a minute.
Excuse me. Hey! I'll give you it!
Excuse me... I'll be right back.
My mom will come soon so you can eat with her.
Yes, Mr. Lawyer.
Yes?
What is it?
I heard the Ministry of Justice dropped an internal investigation against you.
Were you still concerned about that?
Did you already take some action?
Since nothing would come out of it, they must have given up by themselves.
I think everything is going the way you thought it would, Father.
It won't work with thinking alone.
You need to act to get what you want. Keep that in mind.
Thank you.
Did you come, knowing that I work here?
No, I happened to see you while passing by.
But Lawyer Jo doesn't pay you?
No, I've been receiving it little by little.
Then why are you working part time this late?
How do you like the new working place? Do you like it?
Yes, well... I am learning this and that.
Learn what? What are you exactly learning?
Well...
should I call it a mode of behavior or an attitude...
When I was at Geum San, I only looked at the paperwork. The copy machine was my best friend.
Now, I think I am starting to look at people.
If you keep looking at people, then you become too sympathetic.
And you start overlooking their faults because they are nice or pitiful.
It's not overlooking, but listening to them. Isn't that what we should do?
- We?- Yes.
We, the people that studied law.
Good, it's all good. But don't be influenced by Jo Deul Ho too much.
Why not? I like Lawyer Jo.
What?
Oh, well, not as a man.
What should I call it, like a driving force or zeal of his.
He's full of reversals too!
Like, how could he think of that? Just...
Welcome!
I take orders from that side.
It's her, right?
Get out of the way, kid, what a mountain of a guy you are.
Are you Lawyer Lee Eun Jo?
Yes.
Mr. Hong Yoon Gi is your stepfather, right?
Yes... he is.
He borrowed money from us,
but he's not paying us any interest. So we came to get it from his daughter instead.
Are you loan sharks?
Mind your own business and leave.
If you're hungry, go buy a sandwich. If not, just go home.
Who are you?
I'm... here.
I am Prosecutor Shin Ji Wook of the Seoul Central District Prosecutor's Office.
Do you guys all want to get investigated for illegal money collection or do you want to shut up and go home quietly?
We were about to go anyway, Your Excellency.
Have a nice day.
Thank you.
- President!- Oh, don't get up.
Lie down.
Are you okay?
Yes.
I'm sorry.
You did nothing wrong.
Dae Hwa played all kinds of tricks not to file a workman's compensation claim.
Thanks to you, I was admitted to the hospital.
I know what a tough situation you are in.
I feel like I am burdening you more. I am sorry.
Don't say that!
When I'm the president, how can I not be responsible for an employee of mine?
Chang Soo, you must live well.
Understand?
Why do you say that...
I'm just saying we should live well.
Yes.
How long do you need to stay at the hospital?
About six months, but they say we have to wait and see...
- Take care of yourself.- Yes.
Lawyer Jo, something big happened.
My dad is missing!
Oh, don't worry. I'm taking a walk with your dad right now.
What?
You should've told me sooner...
He's with Lawyer Jo right now.
Yes.
We were really worried because he wasn't home.
Don't worry.
Don't worry, he'll be home soon.
Yes, thank you.
He's such a weird person.
He's bringing Dad home so don't worry.
Don't worry, okay?
Hey!
Aigoo!
What in the world!
What do you plan to do?
There is no air mattress at the bottom.
Aish, seriously...
How did you know I was there?
I'm quick-witted.
What do you want your family to do after you're gone?
What is this, huh?
Living day to day
is sure difficult.
Yes.
Lawyer Lee called me and asked where you were.
She called you Appa.(Appa: Dad)
I didn't... do anything for her as a father.
You don't have to do something to be family.
Family gives you strength just by being there for each other, no?
I also have a daughter.
She's extremely pretty, and very lovable.
She doesn't just call me "Dad".
She calls me "Superman".
There were times when I wanted to give up everything too.
I wanted to give up everything, but my daughter's face kept appearing before my eyes.
So I stopped.
Though it seems like today won't end forever, it will end soon.
And tomorrow will come.
I saw you
secretly pay your injured employee's hospital bills.
You're also Superman, are you not?
You are great.
Superman isn't Superman if he's weak.
Your problem will end and today will end, too.
Thank you.
- Yes?- Is this Lawyer Jo Deul Ho?
Yes, that's correct. Who is this?
I am a person by the name of Lee Myeong Joon.
Mr. Lee Myeong Joon?
I have something to tell you face to face.
Can I see you for a moment?
Yes, what is this about?
You took President Hong Yoon Gi's case, right?
Yes.
If so, you will want to hear what I have to say.
Yes, okay.
Where shall we meet?
I'm sorry, but can we meet at my company's construction site?
That's fine.
The person you are calling is unavailable and your call will be forwarded to a voice mail box.
Mr. Lee Myeong Joon?
Neighborhood Lawyer Jo Deul Ho-Preview -
Did Coordinations Director Lee Myeong Joon state that he would pay $1.5 million?
That name "Lee Myeong Joon" does not appear anywhere.
You've earned a lot of money now, when are you going to start working with a conscience?
What exactly happened?
We can't be sure whether it will be Lee Myeong Joon or some other guy.
Mr. Lee Myeong Joon! Let's talk for a little bit.
Don't worry, we'll win for sure.
Dae Soo, I can't get in touch with Lee Myeong Joon.
