I get what you mean.
Whether I accept this cheque, or not,
CEO, you'll have achieved your objective.
If I accept this, I'll have to stop what I am doing, right?
I'll no longer have a pretext to look for your weakness.
It's the same thing as a bribe.
(EPISODE 12)
If I don't accept this, I'll probably regret it from time to time.
Whenever I lack money, or encounter difficulties, it'll be like...
"I should've accepted that money then"...
"Is it late to go back and ask for it?"
I will keep getting such pointless thoughts.
Taking a mathematics question
and writing an essay as the answer, just as before!
This is not a complicated calculation.
It's just a yes or no quiz.
To accept this cheque... or to not accept?
If it's a hard decision to make, shall I set a time limit for you?
10 seconds? Once past that period,
that two-way proposal will become void.
Ten, nine, eight, seven...
six, five, four, three...
Two.
A game I'm seeing for the first time, it seems.
Doesn't this look interesting?
Se Jin. Can we do this together?
It only just started.
All the people I like have gathered, huh?
Come join.
How did you remove President Son Gi Tae?
Threats?
If not, did you buy him like this?
This game is meant for people afraid of their own greed.
I'm not afraid.
That's what you want to believe.
I don't want this money too.
You're even lying now.
Are you okay?
Yes.
The game was getting quite exciting.
But it looks like we'll have to stop it.
The file on TJ Foundation that you're looking for, is there.
Let's hope to meet again in better circumstances.
CEO.
This. You should take it with you.
Don't run too fast.
The coterie you've joined hands with, will be betraying you.
Only when you trust somebody, is it any betrayal.
Fortunately, I don't trust anyone.
CEO.
This innocent girl. How long will you be using her?
It's Se Jin who pulled me along to this point.
She just doesn't give up.
And she worries about you more than I do.
It's good to see you again.
I hope we won't be playing strange games the next time,
and will meet in good cheer.
(STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL STATUS) (TJ CULTURAL FOUNDATION)
You've worked hard.
We hope to see Old sir's true vision reflected as such in some good articles.
You're here.
How lively.
It means everyone's looking forward to Old sir's comeback, isn't it so?
The appointments set up for him in this hour... Please cancel them all.
I sent them all back.
What did you say to them?
I said you were a bit tired suddenly, and needed to rest.
"Get in front of people". It's you who pestered me like that.
Yet now you want to chase away the guests coming to see me?
To band together with you is no mean task!
They are not guests, but migratory birds.
Migratory birds who move in packs during every election.
You get close to them, and you'll only waste bird feed.
Politics is a bird fight, you see.
Whether it's ripe fresh fruits, or insect-infested fallen fruits...
it's about packing it all into one sack, to increase your weight!
That, is the old-school political model that the world is sick of.
CEO Seo!
If you want to assist Old sir in good faith,
please do some screening of people,
rather than pander to the reporters.
You need to start to scrub off the dead skin, completely.
Whether it's people or habits,
they need to match with the modern times.
You do have talent to make money,
but you don't have expertise to do politics, and it shows.
The principles are the same.
Wealth and power.
As one has only a few people,
those that one doesn't have
have to be grabbed in a fight, isn't that it?
You're confident that they won't be stolen?
It is to steal that I came so far.
Mr. Nam.
Yes, Old sir.
From now on, reduce all needless meetings.
I will do as you've instructed.
Earlier also, we should've done like that.
Take it in our hands and just push on with it!
Yes, I see what you mean.
Isn't the New City meeting at 3 O'clock?
You didn't receive the notification?
It was brought forward to 1 O'clock.
Can a chairman be taking a roll call too?
The responsibility is with those who mess up.
Don't be too sensitive, CEO Seo.
Nothing special was there in today's meeting.
Even within a 1 hour meeting, I was dozing off!
I hope the future meeting times will be mistake-free.
Of course. I'll properly instruct those in charge.
Then...
I've received the minutes from today's meeting.
It's mainly verifying usual items of project progress.
There was no special business.
The meeting records can be altered freely, though.
On the Mujin intranet?
A bit suspicious the past few days.
Compared to normal, info sharing and comments have reduced. I get that feeling.
As I suspect they're using some other intranet,
I'm investigating.
Just playing bad tricks, I guess.
Tak.
Yes. I'll follow Chairman Pak Mu Sam.
No. Not Chairman Pak. Somebody else.
There is no end to the friggin annoyance this rookie woman keeps causing.
If she thinks she's too good and runs roughshod,
this maverick is not going to get too far. Isn't that so?
I think that you Chairman, should be able to fully understand what I mean.
Of course, I understand.
If she is interfering even in Old sir's politics,
do I need to say how it's been, this while?
Do this. Don't do that.
I wasn't talking, that's all... but I've been so sick inside about it!
To do big things, proper checks and balances are important.
Any one party becoming unilateral, pulls everyone into danger.
That's just what I'm saying too!
Today is the New City project site visit day.
You need to leave in 10 minutes.
Is that today?
Yes.
Change the schedule to tomorrow or the day after.
Yes, sir.
So, Old sir is also not too happy with Seo I-Gyeong. Is that what you're saying?
I met Doctor Yu on may way up here.
All indicators show great improvement, he says.
It seems the nurses find it easy lately too.
When it's time for the shots, you show your arm yourself.
You don't whine when they bring medicines too.
It put me at ease to hear all that.
Why should I make anybody happy, and stay sick?
Jang Tae Jun, that jerk... Seeing his face on TV,
I was sure he is up to something, to have come out again.
When that guy is going great guns like that, I stay sick here?
Won't that be an injustice?
I should really thank the Old sir too, then!
Rascal...
Look at you smirking.
I should leave, father.
What are you doing these days, to be so busy?
No time to even sit down...
You come, and you leave.
With work, you do some and there's more.
Uncle, by nature, spreads things too wide and thin.
Fine.
Hang in there a bit more.
Whatever it takes, I'll return your place in the Group back to you.
No need, really. I have no ambitions for positions.
Father, your backing is also not necessary.
Whatever I do in whichever position,
I will do it on my own strength.
There seems to be nothing to find as a fault.
I have checked, and checked again,
but what the CEO said is right.
TJ Cultural Foundation doesn't have money-leaks like with Baeksong Foundation.
So, that left you disappointed?
Nobody gives documents that are untouched, right?
The CEO won't push a lie with something like that.
She must've checked each and every number,
and must be confident, to have given it to us.
Seems right. That's indeed I-Gyeong's style.
I forgot, I suppose.
Had Ma Ri said she would come?
She would know the code, though.
Who is it?
It's me, Team leader.
Office chief! How did you know of this place, to...
Come in please, first.
I am sorry.
To check what you do after work,
the chairman ordered me into an investigation.
Are you sure?
Yes.
His schedule after coming out till going back,
are fully checked and confirmed.
Shall I tail him tomorrow?
No need. Ask Writer Gim to come up.
Yes, I will.
Nam Jong Gyu came to the Group chairman's office?
He changed the other things on schedule,
and had a private discussion for nearly an hour.
Head Director Nam Jong Gyu, means...
That Seongbuk-dong person's right-hand man?
The one who got recently freed as innocent?
He is butting heads with I-Gyeong now.
But, Office chief...
You aren't supposed to tell me this, right?
Before I got off work, I tendered my resignation.
Rather than as the Chairman's secretarial office in-charge,
it's with my own identity that I came here.
I will not be reporting about this location either.
Office chief. But still...
It's not because of you that I quit, Team leader.
Chairman Pak Mu Sam's restrictions...
didn't sit well with me, right from the start.
Once I saw MujinTech being sold away,
I decided that I would no longer work for him.
Then...
Excuse me, Office chief.
Have you picked a company to move to?
Though it's nothing like a Group's secretarial office,
would you mind working here?
- Se Jin... - Though I thought I could do this...
the complex business items are all Greek to me.
Office chief, if somebody like you could help,
it'd be a total piece of cake.
Se Jin.
Office chief is way over the specs for a job here.
And I am 'under-spec', then?
I'm disappointed, Team leader.
Don't misunderstand. Take it as you never heard it...
Such an offer... should've come from you, team leader.
Huh?
Then, the PC and office supplies I use...
I will being them in for free.
That printer... How many pages does it do a minute?
I had never even counted...
She looks so meticulous and strict.
I think the work will go totally great.
Like the force field changed...
What's all this thinking you've been doing for while?
Aggregate our side's forces, and split the enemy side.
Let's go with that basic strategy.
Split up the enemies?
Se Jin. You'll have to meet I-Gyeong once.
Meet and convey today's story.
About Uncle and Head Director Nam Jong Gyu.
But...
If I tell her, she won't believe me.
But you are different, Se Jin.
She will listen carefully.
(LEE SE JIN)
It's me, CEO.
What's the matter, at this hour?
I wanted to briefly meet you tomorrow.
Would you have time?
On what matter?
Let me meet you and tell you.
CEO...
Okay, fine.
Get in.
I could've come to the gallery.
Wouldn't that be uncomfortable?
We'd face questioning looks from the team there.
Are you not busy?
I'm busy.
What I heard only goes that far.
I'm unclear about the purpose of their meeting.
You were already aware of it?
Pretty much.
I have some reasons to have guessed why those two people might meet.
The reason why you yourself came to tell me,
is also clear to me.
It must be Geon-U's idea.
You're right.
Last night, as I got your call,
that made me think briefly.
Was it to restart that game we never finished... I wondered.
I guess I was wrong in that.
I have no reason to accept such a huge sum of money.
That was your ticket to get out of this bedlam.
As you dig deeper, it gets more and more dangerous.
To forget everything and get away, a one-way ticket.
That is what you rejected.
I can't go, leaving just you behind, CEO.
When it's getting so dangerous, that too.
I am sincere about it.
Even if a herbivore becomes brave,
it will still fall prey to the carnivorous beasts.
When escaping is still possible, just escape.
You... and Geon-U as well.
This is what I'll tell Pak Geon-U.
I'm a 'dirt-spoon' person with nothing to lose.
So there's nothing to be afraid of.
I never told you things to make you such a confused mess.
Whether it's good or bad,
it's from you that I learn them, CEO.
Nam Jong Gyu, that person is an evil one.
The file on the kickbacks, you see...
"Don't you know I have your weakness" he says.
So now on, rather than you,
it's better for me to toe his line.
That's how he threatened me, I tell you!
So I got mad and laid it all out there for him.
"What are you saying?"
"CEO Seo... is our brain, and our treasure!"
"This is not the time for dirty infighting!"
- Chairman. - Hey, you don't worry, CEO Seo.
Would I mix in with lowlifes like Nam Jong Gyu?
Not even a possibility!
Head Dir. Nam Jong Gyu, after he visited Mujin Group,
went and visited 5 other corporate houses.
Including Mujin Group, all have...
promised to donate large sums to TJ Foundation.
These companies have execution of funds transfer up ahead soon.
So how would this situation sound?
The reputation of the woman called Seo I-Gyeong
who runs the Foundation, suddenly deteriorates.
As a result,
the donation fundraising runs into trouble.
But...
Who would spread such unfounded rumors?
CEO Seo, I know your capability better than anyone else.
Hearing you say that, I am now at ease.
If you perhaps hear any strange rumor, please tell me.
Rotten rumors... must be pulled out by their roots early!
Sure, sure. We should.
That was something that I had orchestrated.
These are business houses who made tough decisions to help our Foundation.
We should visit formally and thank them.
That's why I asked Mr. Nam to visit each one of them.
Small acts can cause big misunderstandings, as you know.
Shouldn't we have discussed this ahead with CEO Seo?
It was a failing on my part.
If I caused a misunderstanding, I am sorry.
Clearing the misunderstanding... was a relief.
In front of a girl like that,
do I have to talk petty things?
That too, just to cover up your mistakes.
My thinking was shallow here, Old sir.
She is not somebody to deal with carelessly.
Don't be focused just forward,
but look behind and dig up.
Yes. I fully understand, Old sir.
The Calling Company's real owner
is that man in Seongbuk-dong, with high probability.
I mean the foreign company that bought MujinTech.
The Calling Company.
The nominal CEO is someone called Michael Gang.
The real CEO is Jang Tae Jun's nephew, Gim Hyeon Su.
Just a smokescreen to conceal the true owner, his maternal uncle.
Even before the MujinTech acquisition,
he had acquired many attractive firms at throw-away prices.
How do you know all this?
What I said about the real owner...
is only a firm speculation in my mind.
If we can't find clear evidence or witnesses,
it is all nothing more than empty talk.
Evidence or witness... where do we find...
I am sorry.
If it was so easy to find,
would such a person becoming President... be possible?
Earlier Pak Geon-U said, during our documents investigation...
"If only my Office chief were there..."
"this would've been done in 10 minutes".
I must really thank you.
Making it is hard,
but blowing it is easy!
Do not test my abilities, Chairman.
I heard you haven't got off work, so I stopped by.
When did you start greeting me after getting off from work?
Like it or not, we are in the Pak family, aren't we?
One can turn away from a stranger, but not blood kin.
All the same, getting mad is easier with a blood kin!
Father... has improved a lot lately.
That's fortunate. I was actually always worried.
Though I do talk unpleasantly,
ever since you anyway became Chairman,
I was only wishing for you to do well.
Why do you look like that?
It's nothing, really.
Is it Seongbuk-dong, or CEO Seo?
Which side believes Mujin Group is all theirs and shows it?
About any moves by people-in-charge,
today's meeting showed no strange indication.
Nothing odd on the intranet either.
Since Mujin Group has tightened up,
there should be a lull for a while.
Should I keep tracking Nam Jong Gyu?
He's just at Seongbuk-dong, isn't he?
Whichever hole it is,
there will be some mole who will crawl out first.
Be more watchful than normal.
To be honest,
I haven't had respect for you.
At the same time, I do not hate you either.
On my part, would I really want to make it hard for my nephew?
Circumstances force me to, that's all.
Those circumstances are shaking the Group.
Seo I-Gyeong.
If you even blink, she'll invade even the chairman's office.
Therefore?
I'll hold CEO Seo in check.
Uncle, you can quietly... give me help from behind.
The Pak family guys get together to guard the Group, you mean?
There's no issue that's more important, Uncle.
Some... strategy is there for this?
As you dig deeper, it gets more and more dangerous.
To forget everything and get away, a one-way ticket.
That is what you rejected.
I can't go, leaving just you behind, CEO.
When it's getting so dangerous, that too.
I never told you things to make you such a confused mess.
Whether it's good or bad,
it's from you that I learn them, CEO.
A guest is here, from Seongbuk-dong.
To have taken the trouble to come,
there's a matching reason, I assume?
Old sir has a colorful gift for you.
He thought it'd brighten the mood in your office.
Please convey my thanks to him.
Both side's viewpoints are clear, so I won't go in circles.
These days, as you are pushing in with a forced guardianship,
Old sir has been inwardly quite upset.
CEO Seo, your ability and vision... are fully acknowledged,
there is a line you can't cross, you know.
So now?
Please do not provoke Old sir.
Although mild-mannered,
once he breaks out, it will be hard to stand it.
That would seem right.
Anything else... left?
What I meant...
I did hear you, so you can go back.
Next time when you come, if you first set up an appointment, that'd be nice.
CEO Seo, your abilities are...
helped by a competent staff, so I hear.
Please continue your good work.
I thought there was a young woman also.
She resigned due to personal reasons.
Let me not walk you out.
A few years ago also,
Jang Tae Jun's links to a Calling Company was investigated by a reporter.
Maybe he received threats, but he left it unsettled in the end.
Se Jin.
A conclusive witness, or a connecting trail has to be found,
but nothing comes out, however much I look.
My lunch break is about to be over.
Though I'm relegated to being a namesake staff,
I would want to stick to working hours.
Sorry.
I occupied too much of your time.
Have you been sleeping at all?
Sleeping?
Have I slept?
I think I slept some.
Go get some good sleep,
and let's talk another time.
I know, but...
I know that you are antsy because of I-Gyeong.
When you have times like this,
each item should be approached with a clear head.
In my own way, I'm also making progress on some things,
so you don't need to do it all yourself.
Did you hear that?
Yes.
For now, as nothing much is happening,
be nearby Se Jin first.
Se Jin?
Has she caused some trouble or something?
Not to monitor her,
but guard her.
Se Jin!
Pak Geon-U's secretary.
She came to help us.
This is the landlord...
Also my friend.
Heol!
Every time I come over, there's an additional person!
I heard of some brand new items hitting showrooms, but now my soles are burning!
Se Jin, living like you will be quite hard,
but living my life is no joke either, okay?
The pocket money I got for shopping is all blown now!
Wow. You must've bought expensive stuff.
That's what I'm saying!
I went to the company to act cute and get money,
but even Grandpa brushed me off completely!
Seriously. This is my life!
Ma Ri...
Your grandfather... How's he doing these days?
My grandpa?
Why?
Will something come out of there?
I heard that...
the Society was there to manage Seongbuk-dong's slush fund.
Ma Ri's grandpa has been at it for a long time,
so regarding funds that came from overseas,
he knows more than the files show.
Even if he knows, he won't easily let that out.
For now, let's try to talk,
but if it doesn't work, try a squeeze, I guess.
Hello?
Let's go together, then.
Do you have time?
You were on another plan, you said.
When you work even at sleep time, Se Jin,
how can I say I have no time?
Thank you.
No embarrassingly creepy words.
Have you forgotten that?
If it's from the bottom of the heart, it's okay.
Synced & ripped by bozxphd Subtitles by DarkSmurfSub
Son Ma Ri was at the studio but went home.
Pak Geon-U?
He never came.
Should I go check on Pak Geon-U then?
No need.
Just watch over Se Jin.
Don't let her get hurt.
Yes, I understand.
Better go back.
On that Calling Company's actual owner...
you do know some info, don't you?
Since you rushed over here for this...
does Chairman Pak know about this?
Not sure which Chairman Pak you're referring to,
but anyway, neither of them know about this.
Please help us, Chairman.
Looks like CEO Seo screwed up on this.
She's getting her tail bitten... by the tiger cub she raised!
You guys go back now.
I have nothing else to say.
The sky won't fall.
I didn't expect much, but still I feel pretty down.
I thought you were perennially tireless.
Are you already out of gas?
If you want to piss me off, do it another time. I'm in no mood for it now.
You know that Chmn Son Ui Seong isn't the only one in the Son family, right?
The one who is even more upset at I-Gyeong than Chairman Son.
Ma Ri's dad, you mean?
But last time,
he said he'd give the Foundation info and duped us, didn't he?
Though it was on the CEO's instruction.
That's why we should go mess with him.
If we go and cry foul about something he was reluctant to do,
I think he would be very upset at the person who made him do it.
It's a pain to go back up, huh?
It's really the enemy camp, after all.
Are you two out of your minds?
Not fully crazy yet.
Please help make us a bit crazier.
It's an urgent thing about Ma Ri, you said...
How come it is this?...
Weren't you the Society treasurer for a long time?
You can tell us whatever you know.
I know nothing.
Calling company, Seongbuk-dong's Old sir, whatever...
I don't know anything.
Sit down, please.
What?
If you just leave, Son Gi Tae, it's your loss.
Please sit down.
What loss?
You, dad and son... How long will you let Seo I-Gyeong use you?
If Seo I-Gyeong loses power,
Chunha Finance can return to it's old position.
The issue that upsets you...
We can settle it on your behalf.
If this gets messed up,
the full blame will fall on me, you mean?
No, thank you.
When do you plan to repay your debt to me?
What debt?
You hired Taiwanese thugs to abduct me.
That was so long ago, but you bring it up now?
That too, it was...
because I thought it would be Seo I-Gyeong.
That's not all, though.
You hatched a plan to get Se Jin arrested by the cops.
That debt also remains!
Director, you shouldn't be here right now.
The tender for Mujin New City's ground-making work...
Isn't it held today?
A problem came up in the tender process.
One among the companies has made a whistle-blower
declaration with the Fair Trade Commission.
They said the constructors are already picked,
and that there was collusion in bid prices.
I was also informed of this only just now.
The companies other than those you picked, CEO Seo...
Among those sidekick firms, some bottomfeeder firm...
seems to have done something under the table!
Inter-company relations were for you to settle, as we had agreed.
That doesn't mean that they'll follow everything I say!
Seems like somebody quiet suddenly got noisy.
Hey, I'm in a difficult position too.
I have to shell out the fine now.
Until the next tender, we can't do a damn thing!
The tender information may have leaked elsewhere, right?
Leaked? From where?
I'm planning to start investigating that.
This is usually done by someone from the inside.
From within the group?
I see, CEO Seo.
I'll also do my best to look around.
Director, you go to FTC and asses the situation
accurately. (FTC: FAIR TRADE COMMISSION)
Sure. (FTC: FAIR TRADE COMMISSION)
Yes, CEO.
Where are you?
I'm in front of the studio.
Se Jin and Pak Geon-U had gone to Chunha Finance, and met Son Gi Tae elsewhere.
After that?
They returned to the studio earlier.
It's pretty clear... that they're continuing to look into TJ Foundation.
For now, come over here.
Something urgent has happened.
I'll do so.
Yes. Well done, Uncle.
Once we go into a re-tender,
the firms that I-Gyeong selected... will get eliminated.
Marking up the construction fee and turning it into a slush fund will be impossible.
I will call you again later.
It seems Gim Hyeon Su's ex-wife is now back in S.Korea.
So Pres. Son Gi Tae wasn't lying to us, it seems!
I'll first find out on her home, family, friends and contact details.
What is the problem?
I-Gyeong had to take a punch.
Though it wasn't going to knock her down,
she would be hurting a bit.
The other plans you said you were on... Was it this?
Just now...
what was it that you said, Chairman Son?
The Calling Company's actual owner being...
No, no...
What you said before that, I mean.
Geon-U, you said?
You say that Mu Il's son Geon-U has been investigating this?
That is correct.
He came to see me, with a woman who was once under CEO Seo.
Of course, they got nothing and had to go back.
Then,
on this matter, is even CEO Seo involved?
How could that be?
Having said that,
we don't know what to expect later.
"Let's figure out Old sir's weakness in advance."
What if that's their real plan?...
I am sorry. CEO.
As Iheun Construction's person-in-charge for tender met
FTC and told them of bid rigging, our plan failed.
When Iheun Construction learned of Trans
Construction being picked as the chief constructors,
they got cheesed off, it appears.
We will have to go that studio.
Was the tender obstruction something Pak Geon-U did?
Even if we can contact her,
will Gim Hyeon Su's ex-wife see us?
If what Pres. Son Gi Tae said is correct,
she would've compiled document evidence to take revenge on her ex-husband.
If we find evidence connecting that company with Seongbuk-dong Old sir...
Then,
CEO's plans also will stop with that, right?
No matter how good I-Gyeong is,
making a politician caught in a corruption scandal into a Kingmaker, is not possible.
Who are you guys?
We've come to get the documents.
Those on the Calling Company. All of it.
Section Chief Yu.
Collect the documents.
Who sent you?
Head Dir. Nam Jong Gyu?
Section Chief, you can do your work.
I will have a... discussion with this man.
Are you alright?
Let's just give them the documents.
Looks like you have guests!
CEO.
What happened here?
They came to steal our documents. We were looking
into a firm called the 'Calling Company'...
They seem to be sent from Seongbuk-dong.
Take the files you want and leave... without any ruckus.
I-Gyeong!
What to do? We need to take these two people along too.
That is... something I can't approve.
Doing what can't be done... is what our job is.
I give no damn to your job. Tak!
Why do you do such pointless things? Collect the documents.
No!
Keeping it with you will get you hurt.
Se Jin will also be in danger.
Once the files are given to Seongbuk-dong,
such mad dogs won't be sent again.
CEO...
Didn't I ask you to escape?
Thank you.
When was the last time you had a fight?
Middle school 2nd year? With the classmate at the desk behind...
You never felt then... that you simply can't fight?
I'm a patient here. Don't be hard on me.
It could've been serious trouble. What was so big
about the documents? You should've just given it.
I have been regretting it too.
The aches make me regret it more.
Later, by any chance, if this kind of thing happens again,
please don't fight then.
Please?
Things like files, however much of it, can be given.
But... my partner won't be able to act unawares.
I thought it was a cool thing to say. It's no good?
Se Jin.
We're back to square one.
It only gets more dangerous later too.
Se Jin, even if you end it here, nobody will say anything.
The CEO had once said... that I'll have a moment of choice some day.
I've made a different choice than has the CEO,
and now I am on that path.
There's no way that I-Gyeong will just stop.
These files that CEO Seo brought, can now be destroyed.
I thought there's another thing for you to dispose of.
I was very clear in warning them.
They won't try to snatch anything away from you again.
Though you can say it like that,
I wonder if I can be fully at ease.
One person among them... is a subordinate of yours, I'm told.
She... was my subordinate.
Since you confirmed my doubts,
shouldn't you be disposing of that girl first?
That is an unnecessary sacrifice.
If it goes awry, that may even poison your future, Old sir.
Is that so?
Please go along with my decision.
Didn't I ask you to escape?
Even if a herbivore gets brave, it can only fall prey to the carnivorous beasts.
When escaping is still possible, just escape.
You... and Geon-U as well.
As you dig deeper, it gets more and more dangerous.
Ms. Se Jin! How come?...
Ms. Lee Se Jin!
Have all of you been fine?
It's been a long time. We missed you!
I came to see the CEO.
I was worried about you, so I came over.
About what?
What I was doing... was reckless, I know.
Though I was doing it to stop you, CEO...
I couldn't even imagine that it would go even to such a situation.
CEO.
You're now in danger because of me, aren't you?
That old man in Seongbuk-dong,
or if not, somebody else,
will surely take action with you.
Am I right?
It's possible that it's so. But maybe not, as well.
Will you still be continuing?
Even if it's clear that it may get more dangerous?
The moment I stop myself, I will only die.
It's not just for your sake.
It's not for Geon-U's sake either.
For me, if it's with a life that's dead inside,
even if it's for a minute or a second, I don't want to be breathing.
That's why I am fighting.
Because I want to live.
If you fight like that, get hurt,
and collapse in the end, then what?
That spot at the summit of the world...
Of what meaning will it be?
Se Jin...

It isn't to look for a meaning that I am climbing up.
The ambition to rise to the top.
That, by itself, is the meaning.
How is Pak Geon-U doing?
He is fine.
We still haven't been able to thank you.
Forget about such talk,
but don't misunderstand.
It was not to monitor you.
The CEO said that you could be in danger,
and asked me to guard you.
Though I was late by a step there,
I felt that you needed to know the truth.
As I troubled you
to come out here, I'm rather ashamed.
You do not need to say that, Old sir.
Lately, our schedules have been tight.
Even now, I had to be at a National Cemetery commemoration before coming.
Once we finish business here,
where did you say we're going?
We visit a traditional market, to listen to the many difficulties of the merchants...
Right, Right... That's how it's going!
There are a lot of friendly articles in the news.
The public's...
The public's expectations are that much higher, right?
Then, what would I be doing?
Because of a 'chunk' that causes calamity, I can't even sleep a wink!
You both, too... must be having the same worries.
Old sir is very worried about CEO Seo I-Gyeong.
He acknowledges her superior business acumen,
but isn't she excessively haughty lately? He is wondering that.
I had already tried to give her a few warning 'dialogs',
but she really doesn't listen to advise from others.
A person doing business cannot be like that.
In one phrase, "I'm all that exists in the universe".
That is CEO Seo.
I... therefore, am making this conclusion.
We... on our own right as her lifetime seniors,
should teach this child a harsh lesson, should we not?...
What would you both feel about it?
You are indeed correct, Old sir.
Who here would be able to oppose you?
I'm in complete agreement.
Office chief.
Did you see this news report?
Ji-U Construction. Not that company.
They are qualified enough.
Isn't it a firm that you pushed in?
No matter what anybody did, if they're qualified, they deserve the opportunity.
It's to you that it's an opportunity.
Diverting the Construction Fee and building Old
sir's slush funds, is your plan, isn't it?
Your imagination is going wild.
I-Gyeong.
Let's be honest here...
I don't want to hear what comes from the nephew who secretly eggs his uncle on.
You hand over our family business to me, and...
Sorry.
Yes, office chief.
The Chairman's sick bail has been cancelled.
It just came out as breaking news.
The prosecution service has sent a squad to the Dongsan Univ. Hospital.
I am going to become a villain.
I'll become the No.1, standing high at the summit,
and look down to the world.
I am sorry.
I should have made you stop.
Before it gets any harder, just go back, I-Gyeong.
You need to make people continue to want you.
If one cannot do that, abandonment takes hardly a moment.
I'm... one who respects the CEO.
I don't wish to see her get hurt.
Then, like you said, Pak Geon-U,
this fight needs to get done quickly, right?
If I ever fancied something once, I never forget it...
Be it a dress... or a person.
