Why did you ask me to rescue her? -=Episode 16=-
Why did you ask me to rescue her?
Was it protecting this time also?
Protecting?
Like once before, when I protected Se Jin--
This was a bait.
She would be feeling indebted to you.
She would be thinking I fired you or gave some other punishment because of today...
She would be blaming herself.
That's the kind of girl Se Jin is.
Will I... have to cheat her or something?
If necessary.
What you say, and how you act...
They'll believe it all without suspicion.
Se Jin, for sure. Maybe even Park Gun Woo.
Why? You don't feel that?
Se Jin isn't at the level to take you on, CEO.
It's the same even if she teams up with Park Gun Woo.
So, for us to go that far...
Mujin new city's repeat tender got postponed.
The strategy of Ji Woo construction doing an acquisition also went down the drain.
8 in 10 chance, that this was all Se Jin's doing.
But how would she...?
So subtly, she has started imitating me.
She wanted to reflect my image, no?
Then, showing proper etiquette,
I should give her a sound trampling.
Just beg her, saying you won't make that mistake again. Okay?
If you do that she'll surely forgive you.
CEO might not have really meant it, too.
Writer, Director,
Thanks for your concern all this while.
Tak!
Not just anybody, but Tak, you know...
When he likes Se Jin so much,
that small an error can happen...
You should've given him another chance.
Just "that small an error"?
Though it was an error to let Chairman Son be lost,
you need not be this unforgiving either, do you?
Without Tak around, some practical issues can crop up too.
The issue of keeping you safe, maybe?
It's a decision that I had fully deliberated.
Let's stop this discussion on Tak.
When can I see the plan on the bank for donations?
It will be completed by tomorrow.
I was hoping to see it tonight.
If you want to see it, I should get it done.
We're late by a step.
Jung Mi Yeon has already gone abroad.
Tracing the Collin Company will be hard now.
I thought this would happen.
Nothing we might dig up was going to remain.
Do you have some other worry?
It's about Tak.
I kept calling him but he isn't answering.
He would be in trouble because of us.
Se Jin.
If we try chasing after Yi Kyung, quite unavoidably, there will be casualties.
If it bothers us each time, we can't do anything.
But still...
Who is it we're up against?
That's all you have to remember.
I know.
Then, that will do.
Chairman Son Ui Sung left the hospital.
Who is it?
The Chairman has arrived.
So, what now?
He wants you at the chairman's office now.
President...
I got it! Tell him I'm coming.
-=Chairman. Son Ui Sung=-
Now on, you can't just do whatever you want.
I also have my people in the company,
and my shares are more now, as well.
I'm no clown who dances to your tune any longer.
Even if you want to kick me out, you can't, in other words.
Did you hear what I said?
Father.
Ki Tae.
This dad didn't raise you properly.
You grew up all spoiled, and never became a man.
And then, all you got from me was unceasing pressure.
That must've been hard on you too.
You must've felt it was unjust, and gotten bitter.
Now that I see, you even listened to others' plans,
and even did outrageous things.
I can only blame myself and accept it.
Father...
Do you know who I am?
Do you even know how old I am now?
From now on, let's forget our previous wrongdoings,
and start all over again.
For neither Seo Yi Kyung nor anybody else to shake our family or Chunha Finance, you and I must work together.
Father...
-=CEO Seo Yi Kyung=-
Ki Tae, it is still not late.
Just... Just a moment.
You must be with the Chairman now.
Yes.
So you can just listen.
The chairman must be using the conciliation policy.
He would know that he can't turn the tables on you now.
"I admit my sins. Let us be good from now on"
He must have said such things.
Just remember one thing.
What the chairman has never done for you up until now,
is what I have built for you, President.
Once you think of the difference there,
here is what you will be asking him.
I haven't been great either. I have not.
But let me ask just one question.
Since things have come to this,
why not let go of company matters, handing them over to me?
Did Seo Yi Kyung tell you to say this?
Whether you could retire, was my question.
When the time comes, I have to.
But...
as yet, seeing your current abilities...
I just knew it!
Ki Tae!
Now on, if there's anything to discuss, just come to the President's room.
Don't take me to be at your beck and call.
Who might have sent you?
I can't venture a guess.
Sorry for arriving late.
Check with them on who sent them.
It's almost time for my appointment.
As you didn't call me over to Seongbuk-dong, but came here to see me,
I take it that this is something important?
I'm hearing some buzz that Mr. Jang wants to build a new party out of the current party or whatnot.
Is it because of that?
The organized faction he has, cannot be ignored.
CEO Kang, if you are on a free ride,
it will give rise to internal friction.
What can a 'political poet' like me do...
except to walk a tightrope?
If one's own share is clearly on the table,
no tightrope will be needed.
What does this mean?
CEO Kang, your personal assets
will have to be donated to society.
90% of your assets will be donated straight with no concern on being elected or not.
It won't be a small-fraction donation,
and think of no strategy to make any private foundation.
Just as I said, donate it all out generously.
Look here, CEO Seo.
So suddenly, what's this you're--
Aren't there real needs out there?
To the poorest strata of the society, a huge favor.
To give loans to the low-income bracket without guarantees or collaterals,
we will be establishing a social service fund.
This is the proposal on the donation bank.
So you will use my money,
to make donations, CEO Seo? Is that it?
The complete opposite.
By using this bank,
the 90% assets that you donate,
will be made... into 900%, during your term.
900%, huh?
You really think that amount is even possible?
My business...
is the process of making possible what is impossible.
Give me some time to think.
Of course I will.
A full 24 hours.
CEO.
Those people are from a company called Tail Labor.
At times, they do jobs for Mujin Group's Chairman Park Moo Sam.
Here is the selected firm from the repeat tender.
We found the firm that's to be merged by Ji Woo Construction
to be Crown Construction,
and they're surely eliminated.
Uncle.
Mmm? Okay, I see.
You can go back.
Is there some issue?
What issue?
Just go on with your work.
If there's any problem, please discuss with me.
You just stick to worrying about the new city project.
My uncle...
is under serious stress.
It must be because of CEO Seo.
If he stumbles at this juncture,
the company and the project will be shaken.
Seo Yi Kyung...
must be caught before she goes too far.
Collin Company.
Are we still out of ideas on that?
Their plan needs to unfold, for the weak points to show.
What Seo Yi Kyung does now...
must be followed closely.
Se Jin is in her office, right?
She said she had somebody to meet.
Good to see you.
Whom did you hear from?
Writer Kim.
As I got worried and called,
she said you packed your bags and left.
Sorry.
You're getting bolder with time.
How did you think of a heist of Chairman Son?
CEO was just so mad about it.
The CEO's plan is to rise to the summit,
but getting the same CEO to fall is my goal.
I am rather lost.
You and CEO live complicated lives... or so I feel.
It is not an easy thing.
That's why I asked to meet.
If you haven't found another job,
work with me, Tak.
Are you crazy?
If you could help,
it will be a great help for me.
You're asking me...
to betray the CEO?
I know,
that you said you'd be loyal to CEO no matter what.
But still,
just doing whatever she asks, isn't what loyalty is.
Putting a halt as quickly as possible...
That is what's truly good for CEO.
Fine, I heard all your nonsense.
Now you can hear what I have to say.
Don't go thinking you cost me my job or anything.
Anybody feeling bad for me,
or worrying for me... I hate it.
That's what I came here to say.
Tak...
It's me.
I just met Se Jin.
I refused.
Yes.
I will contact you again.
I am against it.
Why?
You've seen how good Tak is!
He was fired for helping us.
To ask such a guy to work with us,
is the same as rubbing salt in his wounds.
Isn't the chairman a worry for you?
If somebody like Tak is with us,
he can handle any number of thugs.
Se Jin.
Am I hearing a chat about me?
Tak!
I should say I'm glad to see you,
but I can't even say Hello, as I feel a bit sheepish.
Have you decided...
that we will work together?
Anyway, I can't be choosy.
That music idols' security job was worse than I thought.
Over here seemed more interesting.
So, will it be you, paying me?
Is it alright with you?
You'll be going against the CEO Seo.
If she doesn't want me,
should I stay loyal and get chased away?
I also need to make a living.
That is great!
Welcome then. Come, sit down.
Seeing you after a long time, Chairman.
What made you call over a goofball like me?
Have a seat, please.
Thanks.
Mujin Telecom and Korea Works
are still in fierce competition due to the Next Gen broadband technology, as I'm told.
If Mujin Group is a supermarket,
we're just a street-side kiosk, you know.
We're just relying on one technology, and running around to hit it big.
All or nothing, isn't it?
Whoever develops it first, will corner the market.
You might not want to hear this, but if it's about discontinuing our research, I'll have to decline.
Then the new technology development can be discontinued at our end.
On a reason for discontinuing it, I can come up with something.
You can gobble up the new market.
But there's no free lunch, they say...
What is it that you want?
As a matter of fact, CEO Seo and I are having a complicated situation.
CEO Seo?
You will now be up for the presidential election. From your standpoint, she can't be easily ignored.
It looks like... I need you to be my shield.
Chairman?
It is just business people helping each other, CEO Kang.
Was there any suspicion?
Good. That's not bad.
If you contact me, don't forget to use another cell phone.
Korea Works' CEO Kang is here.
After I did a review, the charity bank... seems like a good opportunity.
What the hell, let's go for it.
You decided sooner than I expected.
You said you'd make it 900%, so I'm just trusting you!
Without this trust, I wouldn't even have gone to Seongbuk-dong earlier.
As for you announcing this donation, the quicker it's done, the better.
My wife was expecting it to be quite different than this.
But, heck, I guess I can just bend the rules a bit...
What's this about?
I heard this somewhere. You and Mujin Group's Chairman Park are doing some sabre-rattling?
You must have heard wrong.
Don't try to provoke Chairman Park Moo Sam.
In my start-up days, Mujin Group had helped me a lot.
Even now, on new technology issues, we keep good relations.
Making Chairman Park sour, is like fixing shoelaces after you're stuck in the cucumber field.
It could cause bad rumors to crop up in the general election too.
Do you... get what I mean?
Did Chairman Park personally ask you to do this?
Damn, CEO Seo... I can't even lie to you!
Yeah, you're right. Thinking of our past dealings, I promised him that I'd try to help him.
So, I mean... Help me a bit to save face here, CEO Seo.
He really is quite a greedy man!
He looked way too cheerful, so I'm a bit disappointed!
Chairman Park must have promised him a sufficient reward for it.
Anyway, I had no plans to eject Chairman Park.
I had much trouble in making him the Chairman.
I'm not going to pry him out by myself.
Thanks to him, CEO Kang decided on his donation.
So I should be grateful to Chairman Park.
Is that how it is?
How about Chairman Son?
I've hired a good paparazzi for that job, although he's not as good as Tak.
Director!
I'm sorry.
Not sure how it is inside, but from the outside, nothing looks wrong.
Completely thorough. That's the CEO, no?
If I knew it'd be like this, I'd have gone for the idol's security job.
Don't you even get tired?
If you feel it won't work, you can still give up!
No. I would hate to lose out on CEO.
Se Jin. Turn the news on.
A strong candidate in the upcoming election, Kang Jae Hyun, the CEO of Korea Works,
has announced a donation that is unprecedented.
CEO Kang Jae Hyun who told us that he is donating his assets, real estate and shares to the society,
has announced that he will reveal his thoughts to the public in an interview today.
After making big money in the IT industry,
my turning to politics, has come in for criticism, as I know well.
The reason why I'm coming to politics
is to fulfill my duty to create a new era.
It is to show my sincerity, that I am making this donation.
90% of all your assets is no small amount, though!
How, and using what method, will you carry this out?
Just as I said, it is simply making a contribution.
I am in no mind to do it bit by bit and leave things unsettled.
I have no plans to make a foundation in my name either.
Making this 'Bank of Big Love' the hope for our society's low-income bracket,
we will proceed in a fair and transparent manner.
I know how Yi Kyung will be using this bank.
Charity loans will be a camouflage, right?
Showing it to be a great deed using big money, but doing slush fund management behind, is the goal.
With nothing certain, aren't we overthinking?
If it's the CEO I know, it is certain.
Is our guess correct, or a mistake?
We can find out about it, from now on.
But... would that man Kang Jae Hyun know it?
It's 50-50.
It's also possible that he knows nothing, and is being used.
On CEO Kang Jae Hyun's asset donation,
shouldn't you have alerted us in advance?
Why should I have?
Mr. Jang was really shocked, and was hurt.
What to do? An even more shocking and hurtful thing has happened.
For Chairman Son Ui Sung, I'm like a thorn in his side.
Because he's uneasy that I might steal Chunha Finance.
So then,
what would be the reason for you to meet him secretly like this, Head Director?
CEO Seo. That was...
I can fully guess your objective.
Cutting down my clout on TJ Foundation,
or attacking me via the Society, must've been the discussion.
But what I really want to know,
is if it was on Mr. Jang's instructions.
Did you order him to get rid of me?
Mr. Jang!
I'm sorry, Mr. Jang.
Without even your approval,
I did something foolhardy.
I am sorry to have upset you, Mr. Jang.
Mr. Nam, it's not like you to make such an error.
It was regrettable.
"Regrettable" or "I am sorry"...
If just those words could resolve all issues,
this world would be just great to live in!
You are at Mr. Jang's mercy now.
Mr. Nam.
Yes, Mr. Jang.
Over this long period, through the highs and lows, you took so much pains by my side, so willingly.
Mr. Jang...
Must you not go to the outside world, and do even greater things?
Please take your time to share farewell words. I shall take my leave.
Tell me.
Looks like Se Jin and Park Gun Woo are investigating the charity bank.
That was fast!
It seems they'll contact Kang Jae Hyun.
Of course they will.
What should I do?
You have to help Se Jin.
That's what you went there for.
Is there a problem?
Se Jin... Will she be in danger?
If you're curious, ask her directly,
if she's hellbent on getting hurt, or if she'll give up in fear.
Tak.
This firm, Korea Works, is awesome. They're up there in tech stuff.
In the IT field, they're legendary.
That's why that guy is what he is.
But how long are you staying in your office?
I'm not a stay-in-the-office type.
Tak.
What?
Thanks for coming over.
With your help, I always feel better about doing the work I have to get done.
Don't think I'll say that I'm getting goosebumps.
After announcing yesterday that he would donate his assets,
Korea Work's CEO Kang Jae Hyun's approval ratings have skyrocketed overnight.
CEO Kang Jae Hyun who was lagging behind many others, with single digits ratings,
has had an 18% jump in one night and has now risen to the top 2.
Politicians, while they all say they are for the people,
are really all for themselves, you see.
But, Kang Jae Hyun seems to not be so.
All my friends are going bonkers too,
seeing for the first time a politician donating it all.
Job searching is hard these days,
but I feel he'll be of help in that.
Split the company?
There's no plans for Chairman Son and me to reconcile.
Rather than a father and son butting heads in the company,
splitting up will be better.
But still, to make the company into half pieces...
Haven't you seen the news?
About CEO Kang Jae Hyun building a charity bank?
I've seen that.
You can invest with him in that bank, as a founding member.
Of course, unlike common banks, this will be a special-case bank.
The actual business will also be quite different, you know.
Like how the Society... was used to manage Mr. Jang's funds?
This 'Bank of Big Love' will become CEO Kang's money vault.
But, I have a problem.
There is a big amount that I wasted on an overseas investment fund recently.
And so?
As that was company funds,
my dad is all pissed, asking me to spit it out.
That's nothing to be called a problem!
What is the matter?
You look quite healthy. That is nice to see.
Whether you hurt or save people, you speak well, CEO Seo!
President Son had a snafu on some public money, I hear?
It was no snafu, but embezzlement!
He wants to hang on as the president,
but if the funds issue can't be fixed, he should quit.
Is threatening the son so much fun?
Stop talking nonsense, and bring the damn money!
Gosh, well... it's no small money, so how can he, chairman?
Here. You can verify.
Capital with interest. The amount is accurate.
By the way...
President Son has something to tell you.
I am taking my shares,
splitting the company, and leaving.
What did you say?
You can call over the financial and legal teams.
Shouldn't every bit of money be accounted for?
Will President Son's half portion of the company
be big enough for the Bank of Big Love?
Chairman Son may cut his limbs off, but won't split his firm.
Eventually, he will get dragged in behind his son.
Please go down and wait for me.
Yes.
It's me.
An appointment is set with Kang Jae Hyun.
Follow them. Do the rest as we planned.
I understand.
They want you at the parking lot.
Okay.
So you know CEO Kang Jae Hyun personally?
I've met him a few times.
What kind of guy is he?
He is smart, personable,
and passionate about what he does.
He has all the makings of a successful man.
Why?
If the CEO selected him,
there should be more to him.
Isn't that greed?
It's not like I can take it with me when I die.
So what's the use in holding on to it all?
That would all be just greed, you see.
But contributing all those assets...
isn't something anybody does!
It was quite hard to decide.
But once decided, I felt it wasn't a big deal.
The charity bank proposal...
came from CEO Seo, right?
Gun Woo.
I know you introduced her... but I forgot.
At Gallery S, she was an employee under Seo Yi Kyung.
For her to propose the charity bank,
there has to be another objective.
What other objective?
Managing a slush fund, I mean.
We know that CEO Seo is behind even Mr. Jang in Seongbuk-dong, controlling him.
If I may guess, CEO Kang, you also could end up as a victim.
Wait... Hold on, hold on...
CEO Seo and Mujin Group has some connection,
as I have heard in passing.
But still, without any basis, I can't just trust you both!
Slush fund, you said?
Whether it's basis, or evidence,
we'll investigate and bring it out.
After starting politics with good reasons,
you can't get it stained by other reasons, right?
We can be of help for you, CEO Kang.
This chat...
will have to be a secret from CEO Seo.
Am I right?
It is CEO Kang Jae Hyun!
- Hello. - I'm glad to see all of you.
- You are so good looking! - Thank you.
Please sign one for me too.
My mom and dad are all your fans!
- Thank you. - Your donation was so cool!
- Keep on fighting! - Fighting!
Then...
Got anything out of him?
Not really.
He is unaware of being used by the CEO, it seems.
Still there was some success, no?
He said he'll work with us now on, after all.
The tycoon son's contacts helped here, eh?
If not, how would I ever meet a public idol like him?
Of course, it's all my contribution!
What did you say just now?
He is using 2 mobile phones.
When he talked before going out earlier,
it wasn't with the phone he normally uses.
Office chief, are you... suspecting Tak now?
Just saying that it needs to be checked.
Office chief!
Calm down, Se Jin.
Tak is a friend who has helped me many times.
You saw it earlier at the hospital.
He helped us, putting himself in danger.
He even got fired from the Gallery.
How can you ever suspect him?
Don't tell me... that you don't believe it?
If it is the Yi Kyung that you and I know,
she would've been guessing what we would do.
Would she just stay put?
But what we have on Tak... is just speculation, right?
It's not the first time, is it?
Yi Kyung making use of you, Se Jin, I mean.
That was...
What happened then was...
What is happening?
Give me your cell phone.
- Se Jin. - What's this? What's up?
Pull it out now, I told you.
Jeez, I have no clue what's going on...
Isn't it this?
This is the normally-used cell phone.
You have no other cell phones?
- What? - You need to show them.
Show that you're innocent... and that you don't need to be suspected.
This is really making me feel rotten.
I will have to check your coat pockets.
I'm sorry, Tak, but do this favor.
Would that do, now?
I'm sorry for suspecting you.
But I had no choice but to check.
I feel I'm better off as the music idols' security guard.
Tak... Tak!
I am sorry, Team leader.
No mention.
Maybe I wasn't showing it,
but I was also feeling uneasy.
Then, you should suspect me too.
Don't be uneasy about just Tak.
Maybe I also came here on CEO's orders.
Why not have that suspicion?
Se Jin.
That lady, Office chief Mun, has a sharp eye.
That's why I deliberately called from the corridor.
Suspicion. Self-blame. Resentment.
They are all silverfish-like insects that gnaw at the soul.
Now Se Jin would be... getting eaten up bit by bit.
Then, is my job all done?
What about the file I sent?
It has been planted.
This will be a very turbulent period.
You should go underground like you're on leave.
Don't let anyone know where you are. Including me.
Yes.
I'll buy you food?
Grandpa gave me lot of money to treat you to something good.
Otherwise, shall I buy you drinks?
Let's drink till the end.
Want to go on a drive?
Drive away, forgetting it all. The stress will be gone.
Se Jin.
-=Park Gun Woo=-
You quarreled with your Chaebol oppa?
He looked like he really cared for you, though.
Ma Ri.
Yes?
I really want to treat everybody well,
but I keep making mistakes.
Looking at it like that...
If I feel sorry towards someone,
I only make them hate me.
That makes me very sad.
No way! You're so not like that.
If anybody says such nonsense, bring them to me!
I will teach them a lesson.
Joint work, maybe?
That's right.
Because you're so ugly, you need to laugh.
You'll be more presentable.
Seriously, you...
Let's go eat!
The number you dialed has been switched off.
Leave a message after the beep.
-=Unanswered calls: 7=-
-=Tak=-
The number you dialed is currently unavailable. After the beep...
You're asking me...
to betray the CEO?
Don't you even get tired?
If you feel it won't work,
you can still give up!
If it is the Yi Kyung that you and I know,
she would've been guessing what we would do.
Would she just stay put?
But what we have on Tak... is just speculation, right?
It's not the first time, is it?
I simply did not know that you would both come for such an evening get-together.
I suppose we know that you have enough reasons to have asked to meet.
'Misery loves company', isn't it?
CEO Seo has grabbed my son and is proceeding to split my company.
Imprisoning me at the hospital wasn't enough, isn't that it?
You think that's the worst of it?
I even had to face a threat from her,
that she would kill me.
You, Chairman Park?
Using all my contacts, I held on for dear life,
but life is not a simple matter for me now.
Heck, even the Head Director who served Mr. Jang all his life is now shaken out, so what can I say?
The Mr. Jang's plight is also no different from what you both are in.
Ever since he lost the upper hand to CEO Seo,
he has looks very bad.
Even though I've left Seongbuk-dong,
even my last bit of loyalty, is only to my master.
You both must be feeling the same way too, so...
will you join me in my plan?
What plan do you mean?
CEO Seo Yi Kyung has to be... cleared out.
Yes?
What?
Let's go.
What is going on?
Some misunderstanding, it seems.
What misunderstanding?
They say I stole technical info from CEO Kang's Korea Works.
What?
You must be mistaken.
No one here would do such a thing.
Aren't you Ms. Lee Se Jin?
Right.
On this technology leak, you also have to undergo reference witness questioning.
Come on, let's go.
Please don't go with him!
It's alright.
There should be no serious issue.
Sorry about yesterday.
No, that's not really...
Come on, let's go.
So, right from the start Mujin Group was planning this?
With the objective of stealing our technology?
When you met Chairman Park Moo Sam, what spiel did he give you?
Don't try to give me this or that lie, please.
You must've... got a promise on some compensation.
If I met you and mediated, CEO Seo,
he would quit competing on new technology, he said.
And you really believed such a promise?
When it's clearly a smokescreen to make you drop your guard?
You met Mr. Park Gun Woo also, right?
He knows the real motive for setting up the donation bank.
You still kept that away from me, though.
The fact that you met Mr. Park Gun Woo, that is.
CEO Seo.
Yes, it is me.
Are you sure?
Yes. I got it.
The confiscated computers are showing our company's new technology intel.
Naturally.
To steal that intelligence,
they even set up an office outside the company!
CEO Kang.
If you want to grab the presidency,
please don't hoodwink me.
If you repeat any similar mistake,
you stand to lose a lot, CEO.
What you mean there... is quite clear to me.
All the advising lawyers of the company have rushed over to prosecutors' office.
Even if there is evidence,
it's not like we'll surely be found guilty, so don't worry!
Mu Sam!
Yes, hyungnim?
If the father and son both get locked up in here,
think how that would look!
No such thing will happen, hyungnim.
Stop worrying like that, I say!
He's my son, and I know him.
That fellow Gun Woo... is just not a guy who'd steal anything from anybody.
And you think I don't know that?
Mu Sam, you...
do just two things.
First get Gun Woo out intact.
After that, bring out whoever it is that framed us.
Once that is found out,
it will be me dealing with the rest of it.
The number you called is switched off.
After the beep, you may leave a message for a charge.
I still can't get through to Tak.
His phone is turned off.
This is a trap.
A Korea Works file being found on our computers is impossible.
Someone must have put it in deliberately.
Really... are you saying that Tak is the culprit?
Otherwise... it would have to be you, Lee Se Jin.
Would it be so?
Ms. Se Jin, what is going on?
Where's the CEO?
She has gone out.
What is this about?
Where did Tak go?
He was fired because of you, Se Jin.
You really didn't know?
As his task is done, he'd be back here, no?
What are you talking about? He got fired, okay?
Lee Se Jin, explain what's up, in a way we can understand.
Writer Kim,
By any chance, did you hack into a company called Korea Works for tech intelligence?
On CEO's orders?
No... I'm... hearing of this company for the first time.
This time you're lying though.
Se Jin!
CEO Seo!
Violating the Unfair Competition Prevention Act,
and laws regarding business confidentiality.
It means he is, in one phrase, an industrial spy.
You can't have that kind of a guy stay in charge of the new city project.
I'm just back from visiting my brother.
When I should be getting Gun Woo cleared of the charges,
you ask me to take his position away?
It's not out of fear of Park Gun Woo, that I went easy on you.
It's also not due to CEO Kang Jae Hyun's mediation.
During my power struggle with Seongbuk-dong,
the tightrope walking in the middle, must've left you tired.
Greed also needs to get a rest, right?
Now that the situation is all settled,
and you have got enough rest, chairman,
you would have to follow my plan.
If I don't follow you,
"Tough to build but easy to blow away", will be your threat?
Right now, for me, taking this position
is hardly any work.
Is that what you hope to see?
You only have one path, Chairman.
Please follow me.
Park Gun Woo, your suspicion was right.
Tak duped us.
He placed the evidence in the computer.
Definitely as instructed by the CEO.
I am sorry.
Don't worry.
The company lawyers had come here.
The evidence may make the investigation go long,
but pressing charges will be difficult.
How long it takes is not the issue, right?
You didn't have to go through this trouble.
I was the stupid one.
If only I had listened to Office chief Mun...
Se Jin.
I made such a mess.
There isn't one thing I did right.
Don't talk of taking the direction your opponent wants you to.
Get me locked up, and get you isolated.
Then you will be alone, blaming yourself and depressed.
That's what Yi Kyung is looking for.
Yi Kyung is doing perfectly fine.
That means, let us not give up first.
We fully knew this is how the CEO is,
but still we took this hit.
That is hard for me to accept.
Makes me mad.
Se Jin.
If you want to yell at me, yell.
If you want to hit me, just hit.
Didn't you say,
that you would do your work, and I could do mine?
My work was to be loyal to the CEO.
I know how you are feeling.
I have been there, you know.
The other party trusted me without the slightest suspicion.
All along, time to time, the conscience gets needle-pricks.
So much so that you feel you'll even bleed.
Se Jin!
I liked CEO, after all.
I wanted to be loyal to her like you, you see.
I'd go through it, and stick with it... so I'd think,
but in the end, only I would get ruined.
It was too brutal and difficult,
which is why I left the CEO.
Not sure if this is the case with you,
but I'll have no kind of regret.
The one who should regret is the CEO.
Just to get what she wants,
she drags people down to dirt,
and forces them to dead ends.
A monster like that.
Give it up, Se Jin.
I can't.
You... won't win in the end.
I knew it when I started this.
Se Jin.
What are you doing?
Open it.
Lee Se Jin!
Se Jin, try asking yourself.
if you wish to become like me.
Once I remake you like that, top-to-bottom,
I'll thoroughly make use of you.
A game I'm seeing for the first time, it seems.
This game is meant for people afraid of their own greed.
I'm never afraid.
That's what you want to believe.
This is not the end.
I still haven't even started.
Your world... will become hell from now on.
If you speed in like that, shouldn't you hit it?
This is where your limit is.
I know.
As a human, that's how far it goes.
Park Gun Woo doesn't hate you, CEO.
He is only protecting his family.
Tak says he regrets nothing.
Because he was fully loyal to you, CEO.
And then?
I... hate you, CEO.
I regret it to death.
Just give me one answer.
Did you want to make me into a monster?
Like you, CEO?
You answer a question from me first.
Do you believe you can change me?
Completely.
Then, I should answer you too.
Se Jin, you... will someday be like me.
I thought you would be happy.
You are not?
I'm happy.
It's now that it became clear,
that what you can do, CEO,
is what I can do too.
Let me meet you in hell.
Fine.
In the end, Chairman Park... seemingly has no courage to oppose CEO Seo.
There's nothing else we can do,
except just you and I working on a common goal, Chairman Son.
There is one person still to come.
