EPISODE 5
You rat.
-Shit. -Tak!
Sir.
-Please calm down. -Did you do this?
Long time no see, Gun-woo.
Yi-kyung, you...
What a shame.
This isn't how I wanted to meet again.
What are you doing?
Things got complicated.
Then explain it simply.
Let's put out the fire first.
Stay out of it.
It's Ms. Seo's personal life.
Are you okay?
I would've been fine if you hadn't stopped me.
Stay out of it next time.
A Year...
You're so mean.
You didn't call once.
You look good.
You look even more gorgeous.
You too.
You look better in a suit than jeans.
It's suffocating not being able to do whatever I want.
It always reminds me of the past.
Whenever I looked up after playing my guitar,
you sat there with that look on your face 12 years ago.
Do you still have
that coin?
This is why I didn't call.
Reminiscing about the old days
is not my thing.
So you are the Yi-kyung that I know.
I remember the way you talk.
Was it also you
the other day? At the wedding hall.
It was, wasn't it?
I tried to recycle your memories.
-What? -When we first met at the temple.
You followed me then, too.
Let's stop talking about the past.
I have a lot to do.
All my artwork burned, so I took a huge loss.
I can tell why you came to Korea.
I'm sure it was your father's orders. Like successor training.
But
I don't understand why you teamed up with my uncle.
An employee awaiting assignment doesn't need to know that much.
Yi-kyung.
I figured
we'd meet again someday, somehow.
But this...
Not like this.
-What happened to you? -It's simple.
As promised, I became a villain,
and you haven't changed at all.
Even your habit of trying to be right and good.
Excuse me.
When I lied about my name before, that was all my doing.
I don't want you to think Ms. Seo had me do it.
Hey, Korean girl. Get lost from our district.
I wondered when you'd come.
You're from the Matsuoka Family, right?
My father built this kingdom.
You're the one who should get lost!
Get her!
Hey. This is bad. It's really bad.
Shit.
Yi-kyung.
Are you okay? Are you hurt?
Let's get to the hospital. Or at least call home.
Want me to do it?
-Yi-kyung. -Leave me alone.
It happens now and then. It's not a big deal.
You can't even walk straight. How is it not a big deal?
If you won't see a doctor, at least call home.
Forget it. I'll take care of it.
I know you're a stubborn mule,
but what is your father thinking?
It's obvious it'll be dangerous to collect money at night.
Doesn't he care what happens to his daughter?
How long will you run these stupid errands?
This is how it always ends.
If I let them stick around, they act like they know everything.
Look, Mr. Gun-woo Park, know yourself first.
I don't want your stupid warnings,
involvement, or pity.
Yi-kyung.
Do you really not get it?
Do you not know why I'm so worried about you?
You ran away from Korea, but you have the time to worry about others?
That's indulgence.
-Yi-kyung. -I'll live my own way,
the way I learned and experienced on these streets.
So don't try to chime in on how to live my life.
I'll go home now.
Don't drink alone because you feel down.
Promote me to executive director of drinking, and I'll drink with you.
Hey, punk. You should've called my assistant...
MOOJIN PRODUCE FOREIGN BRANCH
You know what this is, don't you?
Am I supposed to know?
Then you must not know where I went with the Auditing Team.
You're supposed to wait
until you get placed somewhere.
If you have time to take the Auditing Team on a picnic, clean out your office.
How did you choose to work with Gallery S?
Did you choose them,
or did Yi-kyung Seo approach you first?
Yi-kyung Seo?
Who's that?
Check your documents.
The name, date, transaction details, everything's there.
I can't look at every transaction each foreign branch conducts.
Regardless, that route is closed, so be careful.
Tell Yi-kyung to stop getting involved, as well.
Gun-woo.
You should take this with you.
I have plenty of copies.
I gave a set to the Auditing Team, too.
PRESIDENT, MOO-SAM PARK
LIST OF GALLERY S SALES ITEMS
There's nothing Gun-woo Park can do.
We got rid of the evidence and the transaction documents are clean.
As long as we're cautious about the special transaction, we'll be fine
You say that because you don't know him.
Once he goes off-course, you don't know where he'll go.
If he used this--
You should uncover that.
What?
If there is a whistleblower in the group, this will not be the end of it.
You must find it, no matter what.
The gallery took a big hit from what happened yesterday.
I'll have Mr. Jo process the compensation request.
You set the fire, but you want me to compensate?
If not for that fire,
the Auditing Team would have been investigating you.
You should be precise about money with those on your side.
By the way,
do you and Gun-woo have a past or something?
He asked a lot about you.
I'm sure the target is you.
I hope you'd refrain from dropping in like this.
There are many watching.
Have a nice day.
Is it about what happened yesterday?
What happened?
-What? -Ms. Seo and Gun-woo Park.
Did anything else happen?
I don't know either. It's her personal life.
Seeing how he called those close to him from the association,
Chairman Son isn't making empty threats.
I put up with Mr. Park's tantrums.
Now, it's Chairman Son.
He may withdraw your appointment as financial director.
I'll be meeting Mr. Jang soon.
It's too late to kill time and patronize him.
Call Baeksong Foundation directly.
Did you want me?
We'll take a shortcut from now on.
What are you doing?
Hey, Se-jin.
Thanks.
Everything you do from now on will be in my place.
Stop impersonating me with just my name.
Fight as the real Se-jin Lee.
Can you do it?
May I choose an outfit
from your closet instead of getting a new one?
My apologies.
Ms. Seo had an important meeting, so I came in her stead.
I am Se-jin Lee of Gallery S.
Even if she came herself and begged, it wouldn't be enough.
How can she be so audacious?
Sir, please take care of this right away.
Tell Ms. Seo that as of today,
she's been removed from her position as financial director.
Wait.
I read through the Articles of Association,
and the entire association must vote on removing a director from office.
So if you want to fire Ms. Seo,
you'll have to hold a general meeting first.
What was that?
There are exceptions,
such as embezzling the association's funds.
Then they may be fired immediately.
I heard that's why the previous director was kicked out.
Watch your manners.
Right, I almost forgot.
Ms. Seo said she has an appointment at 4 p.m. in Seongbuk tomorrow,
and that you should come then if you want to see Mr. Jang.
-Just one. -It's over.
Please, Dad.
-You never stop. -Come on.
Oh, my.
Awesome.
You look like your boss.
Where's Yi-kyung?
Don't tell me you came in her place.
You've got to be kidding me.
Why? What's going on?
What are you doing? Go tell her that she's been fired.
Aren't you the one who was kicked out?
Be nice to your dad.
I'm sure it's been tough for him.
Hey!
Please proceed.
You'll go after Yi-kyung Seo?
Even heir like yourself
ends up alone in the wilderness if you lose power.
You can clean up your company
and I'll remove the stray.
It's a win-win situation.
You must have a big grudge against Ms. Seo.
You're after Moo-sam Park too, aren't you?
Our situations are alike.
Do you know anything about Ms. Seo?
Her business relationships or personal things?
Hey. You're mistaken regarding your target.
I'll get Yi-kyung.
You take Moo-sam Park--
Do you think someone like you can take her down?
Forget it.
I looked through the catalog, but I'm not interested in buying.
You may leave now.
You don't seem to get it.
Being the financial director
means she has a direct line to Mr. Jang.
If she becomes close with him,
she'd give Moo-sam Park wings.
He'll fly high.
Ms. Moon, our guest hasn't left yet.
I'll become a villain.
I'll climb to the top
and look down on the world.
CHAIRMAN MOO-IL PARK
I'm sorry for asking you to come when you're so busy.
What are you doing there?
This chair is comfortable.
You become fond of it.
I hear you're busy trying to find the whistleblower.
You should've asked me directly.
You wasted your time.
What?
That intel
didn't come from within.
I got it from Baeksong Foundation.
They said they'd get my back if I want.
According to Mr. Jang.
So?
If you latch onto an old, toothless tiger,
do you think you can sit there?
You know I hate fighting within the family.
But
don't covet the chairman seat.
The next chairman will be either the president of Moojin Electronics
or the president of Moojin Life.
You brat.
Are you trying to threaten me?
If you give up,
I won't need to visit Mr. Jang.
Please
let me continue to pretend to be nice.
The documents came from Mr. Jang?
That's possible.
No.
I'll check for myself.
You came
a long way.
Gosh.
Let's see.
TO MOO-IL PARK
Mr. Chairman!
Are you all right? Mr. Chairman!
Dr. Park!
KOREA-JAPAN CO-OP NIGHT 1988 SEOUL OLYMPICS
BONG-SOO SEO, TAE-JOON JANG, MOO-IL PARK
It's been a while, Chairman Son.
How have you been, sir?
I'm Yi-kyung Seo of Gallery S.
I apologize for last time.
You always look healthy, Chairman Son.
I'm nothing compared to you.
No, no.
No need to sit down.
Pardon?
He worked hard for a very long time for the association, hasn't he?
It's been seven years and five months.
I think you should rest now.
I asked you to come to tell you that.
But sir...
You should look after your company that you've been neglecting
and take care of your child as well, if you have time.
You have much to do.
My son's mistake
is unrelated to your funds.
He was trying to refill the funds--
Your time with Mr. Jang is up.
Han Feizi
I copied over one page a day
to give it to you whenever you come.
It took a little over a year.
I made you wait long.
I'm sorry.
So,
what do you plan to take from me?
If you're trying to reclaim what your father lost,
it'll take quite a bit of effort.
The kingmaker for the next presidential election.
You want to become the king's father who controls the nation again, don't you?
I will give you
that opportunity.
Not revenge, but an opportunity?
I will refill your leaky safe.
It sounds so good, that I'd like to believe you.
I have a plan and the person.
But I also have a condition.
You'll have to discard Gun-woo Park.
I'm holding the ace of Moojin Group.
You've watched me for long just like reading that thick book.
So you must know what I'm capable of.
I am your last opportunity.
The most important thing seems to be lacking.
Trust.
I have no reason to believe Bong-soo Seo's daughter.
You are correct.
That is why my father failed.
He was betrayed by friends whom he trusted.
I am confident that I would succeed
since I don't trust anyone.
Ma'am.
We'll have to wait.
Until his greed overpowers his distrust.
MOOSONG FOUNDATION
KOREA-JAPAN CO-OP NIGHT 1988 SEOUL OLYMPICS
Bong-soo Seo's daughter came to Korea.
How did you know?
How do you feel?
I'm fine.
I must have been a little dizzy.
This man.
What is your relationship with him?
Were you friends?
Please give your daughter a chance.
-Yi-kyung -Stay put.
has the right to be free.
You impertinent brat.
Calm down. I'm not here to talk about the past.
Return to Japan.
Whatever it is you planned, it won't go your way.
So close the business you started here
and go back as soon as possible.
I remember.
You were
never good at making jokes.
My uncle
is already the chairman in his dream.
I'm going to turn that dream into a nightmare.
I don't want to drag you into that nightmare as well.
It's a warning for Yi-kyung Seo from 12 years ago.
-And you have the power to do that? -Tae-joon Jang.
I can be on his side whenever I please.
The person you want on your side.
Go ahead.
Let's do it.
Shit.
Is Gun-woo Park out already?
What are you doing?
How did you get in?
Know the enemy, know yourself and you will never lose.
I'm looking for anything useful.
Is Gun-woo Park an enemy?
Do you think he's an ally?
Gun-woo Park
will be a headache for Ms. Seo.
Huh?
I'm too tired to see you out.
I heard about your father.
The trio behind the scenes who made the 1988 Olympics a success.
The glory was short-lived.
For Mr. Jang, it became a political burden.
My father coveted the assets that would remain.
-I'm sorry. -You aren't the one who should apologize.
I'm sorry
because I'll make you stop.
So...
go back before it gets harder,
Yi-kyung.
You said this was your dream.
But you gave it up.
You can't even save your own dream,
but what, you'll stop me?
If I were going to let you break me,
I wouldn't have even made it here.
Gun-woo, you can't win this fight.
A monster can't lose
to a human.
Gun-woo Park just left.
Is there anything else for me to do?
Okay, then.
Should I promote you?
To executive director of drinking just for tonight.
Gun-woo Park
was a debtor.
I'm meeting Chairman Matsuoka today.
I need an apology for what happened.
How's your leg?
I can walk.
It's best to avoid
unnecessary fights.
You couldn't even call it a fight.
We just introduced ourselves.
Anything else?
Is there anything?
Like what?
This kid...
PERSONAL DATA
He's Moo-il's son?
Yes, sir.
We must be cursed.
We should end the bad blood
in our generation.
GUARANTOR
GUN-WOO PARK
Look.
I'm the one borrowing money.
He's just letting me use his name as my guarantor.
Of course.
There won't be a problem if you pay within the deadline.
Okay.
GUN-WOO PARK
I'm sorry, Gun-woo.
I'm a crazy piece of garbage.
Sang-chul.
ILHAN FINANCE
Did you lend Sang-chul money?
Not his remaining debt. Did you give him a new loan?
Your joke isn't funny.
I don't work like that.
He has no collateral or guarantor--
I'm his guarantor.
He stole my immigration card and seal
and made me his guarantor.
Are you sure it's my office?
Did you really have nothing to do with it?
Hide for the time being.
Don't go to your part-time job.
Why should I?
Explain so I can understand.
My father...
I'm sure my father figured out about you.
He had you become the guarantor because he was after you from the start.
What do you mean? Why would he do that?
Because he can't have the successor of his kingdom,
become weak.
You've become an annoying obstacle.
Just for that?
He could do much worse for much less.
So you need to run away.
That means Sang-chul is in danger too.
He did it to himself.
He knew it was dangerous, but sold you off for a few bucks.
If you have nowhere to hide, I'll find one.
-First-- -No.
I need to find Sang-chul first.
What do you mean?
I can't just ignore him.
If you're right, this happened because of me.
But you'll get hurt. It's dangerous.
"You ran away here, but you worry about someone else."
You're right.
I am audacious.
Sorry for suspecting you.
Hey.
I'm sorry.
It was my father, wasn't it?
Where's Gun-woo's document?
I couldn't find it anywhere in the office.
-Miss-- -Is it in Father's safe?
Or a safety deposit box?
You know where it is.
This is why the chairman is concerned.
The person I know wouldn't look for an answer like this.
You should forget Gun-woo Park.
The chairman will settle it himself.
You know I'm on your side, don't you?
What is it?
I heard Mr. Jo on the phone.
No, no.
-I wasn't trying to eavesdrop. I just-- -Ms. Kim.
That man.
Gun-woo Park is locked in a storage unit.
Don't worry.
I can handle a beating.
I told you to run.
I considered it,
but I couldn't find Sang-chul
and I couldn't leave without you.
Can you walk?
Hold onto me.
Go with me, Yi-kyung.
Anywhere.
Somewhere nobody will find us.
Leave with me.
That's impossible.
It's not for my sake.
You need to escape from this mire.
Successor?
That's what your father wants. That isn't your life.
This may be
the first and last chance.
I'll help you.
But first,
you must save yourself.
I won't
run away like this.
If I leave my father, I'll do it my way.
I'll leave with my head held high.
We have a cat burglar.
Did he tell you to do it?
To steal your dad's money
and run away with him?
Not at all.
I'm simply taking my share from the work I've done.
There's no such thing.
You didn't even work that much.
My calculation is correct,
since I worked under you ever since I graduated.
You were blinded by a guy and betrayed your father,
so you fail as a child, too.
You're mistaken.
He has nothing to do with my decision.
It may be late,
but I just want to find my life.
Your life isn't out there.
It's here in my shadow.
It's a waste of time to talk any further.
I'm cashing out on my life thus far.
Calculate down to one yen.
Everything that you think is your share.
We're done.
There's more.
There's no point. That is your share.
No, I can do it.
I must have made a mistake somewhere--
Yi-kyung.
Don't covet a number you cannot have.
That amount is the maximum value of your abilities.
Please
let Gun-woo go.
If you pay off his debt,
you'll be penniless.
You plan to leave empty-handed?
No.
I will not leave.
Promise that if I settle the loan
with my money,
you'll let Gun-woo go.
Then I'll start over as the heir of Ilhan Finance.
This...
is the final offer I can make.
Will you accept it?
GUARANTOR, GUN-WOO PARK
Your coin and a song I write.
Doesn't that sound good?
I'll practice and play it for you properly,
so let me borrow this coin until then.
Go with me, Yi-kyung.
Anywhere.
Somewhere nobody will find us.
Leave with me.
You need to escape from this mire.
This may be
the first and last chance.
I'll help you.
But first,
you must save yourself.
Yi-kyung! Yi-kyung Seo!
-You jerk. -Stay put.
Please give your daughter a chance.
Yi-kyung
has the right to be free.
You impertinent brat.
Chairman.
I'll send him away.
You know.
Once I enter into a transaction, I do my part no matter what.
I was framed as a thief in middle school.
I was a loner with no friends and a Korean-Japanese.
I was the perfect prey.
My father was called to the school
and he even kneeled before the father of the class president
who lost her money.
That building belonged to her father.
After I finished middle school, I visited my father at his office,
and the class president's dad was kneeling before my father.
That building...
is now my father's.
I can't give up
the power that money possess.
Did your father say something?
Did he threaten you? Or--
I made the decision.
I finally awoke from my dream.
Once I returned to reality, I could see straight.
I must get stronger
and much smarter.
I can't do anything if I'm this weak.
Yi-kyung.
Don't lecture me.
Don't try to change my mind, either.
I'll become a villain.
I'll climb to the top
and look down on the world.
I won't be framed again
or be anyone's prey.
Yi-kyung.
But the time I spent with you
wasn't a bad dream.
Thank you.
Are you saying
it's over like this?
Go back to where you came from.
I'll stay here, where I've been living.
Goodbye.
Moo-yi Park of Moojin Dies in an Accident in the Middle East
Wow.
That light
is brighter than all the other lights.
It's like Ms. Seo. Don't you agree?
Yi-kyung Seo speaking.
This is Jong-gyu Nam of Baeksong Foundation.
Yes?
Mr. Jang would like to see you again.
Discreetly.
From now on, I would like you to be my right-hand men.
-Sir. -I can't give in either.
From now on, the real fight will begin.
The opponents are Tae-joon Jang and Gun-woo Park.
Don't attack Yi-kyung Seo without my permission anymore.
This is our fight.
Don't touch her.
The company has been attacked by a bomb and I'm unable to do anything.
We should return that bomb.
Let's take care of them one at a time,
in the order of importance.
