I've obtained evidence on the true owner
of Collins Co.
It's Mr. Jang, isn't it?
Finish this fight for good.
You will sit as the king's father, as planned.
I will make that happen.
What?
But you must follow my orders completely.
Are you telling me to obey you?
Obey and get down on your knees.
Otherwise, the documents on Collins Co.
will be shared with the world.
Weren't you
going to hand the Collins' document to the prosecutor, media or someone?
You never gave up anything from the start.
You probably used that document to strike a deal.
You're proceeding with your plan as planned.
Am I right?
EPISODE 15
Wait.
There's no need.
Open the gate.
Mr. Jang introduced him to politics.
Then he was elected as a party representative.
He held important posts while Mr. Jang was in office.
He is currently the third favorite presidential candidate
by a small margin with the second.
He's a has-been.
There is no novelty in him.
He has great connections regardless of the political party,
and gets along with everyone.
Just because he's good to everyone doesn't make him someone we need.
We need someone with a new image, even if he lacks political experience.
Clearly,
you already have a candidate in mind.
Who is it?
If I tell you, will you oppose?
From now on, Mr. Jo will come see you unless it's a special matter.
I look forward to working with you.
Still, you should meet with Mr. Jang yourself.
He is more than capable of handling the general matters.
-Ms. Seo. -At one point,
I considered getting rid of you.
I let you stay because I felt like you are still useful to Mr. Jang.
So please, do not give me an attitude.
It is annoying.
Congratulations on returning to the company.
You too.
You can't go anywhere else again.
I'm sure they kept the office the same even while you were away.
It's nice, there's no mold.
The second tender is on Thursday.
Go through each company's documents thoroughly. Don't miss anything.
I'll run the final check.
Will you disqualify Geo Construction?
Of course, since they were previously in collusion.
I think Yi-kyung joined hands with Mr. Jang again.
I doubt that.
I bet she twisted his wrist, rather than taking his hand.
She'll push forward with her plan from now on.
The Neo City Project may get caught in the draft.
I came back to prevent that.
I won't let Yi-kyung control Moojin Group.
I'll prepare the documents.
-This is Gun-woo. -Hello.
I'd like to meet.
The seal is about this big. Check everywhere you can think of.
It isn't at home, so he must've kept it here.
-Hey, Do-kyung. -Yes?
-Check behind the plant. -Okay.
Gi-tae.
Remove the IV.
It's good for you. You need it.
By the way,
where did you put the chairman's seal?
I couldn't find it anywhere.
I need it to approve reports and proposals.
We need to conduct company business.
Did Yi-kyung put you up to this?
Seriously, what are you talking about?
You fool.
Don't let that woman
use you.
I'm sure I'll find the seal.
Take care of yourself.
Gi-tae.
Gi-tae...
We got rid of the directors that may have caused trouble.
Some of them are still here.
We'll take our time and conquer them one by one.
Did you find the seal?
No, not yet.
We searched his office and the house, but--
Mr. Son.
I know. If we don't get the documents in order,
he can always have me removed. I'll find it as soon as possible.
But
I'm worried about Ma-ri.
She's adamant about seeing her grandfather.
She has the Son family blood running through her veins,
so once she blows a fuse, she's impossible to control.
-Mr. Son. -Yes?
I don't have time to advise you on child-rearing.
That's not what I meant.
Mr. Jang will choose a presidential candidate soon.
We must obtain the funds for TJ Foundation before then.
In other words, there are many matters more important than your daughter.
I see.
I understand.
Is Se-jin still hanging out with Ma-ri?
I'm not sure.
Should I have Tak find out?
No, it's okay.
Working holiday?
They say it'll be very physical,
so I figured if I work like crazy, time will fly.
-That's why-- -You're being a coward.
You're trying to escape.
Why can't I escape?
I'm so worried about Ms. Seo. I want to stop her.
But I can't.
Rather than being helpless and stressed, I'd prefer to run away.
Why can't I be a coward?
Let us be honest with each other.
When I said I'd stop Yi-kyung out of concern for her,
it was all bull.
I said that, but protecting my family and our company took priority.
I just needed a decent justification.
Don't be too honest.
You'll regret it later.
I plan
to be honest about my greed and my true intentions.
That's why I wanted to meet.
If you truly want to make Yi-kyung stop,
you need to stop whining and fight
until one side falls.
I don't want to destroy her.
I told you to be honest.
If Yi-kyung doesn't fall,
how can you stop her?
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?
Gun-woo, you can't win this fight.
A monster can't lose
to a human.
Please stop.
You can stop here.
Not a chance.
Because the moment I stop,
I will die.
I don't want to
breathe a single minute,
a single second, if I'm dead.
I can't leave you behind, when it'll get so dangerous.
Run away while you can. Both you and Gun-woo.
If you truly want to make Yi-kyung stop,
you need to stop whining and fight
until one side falls.
-Hello. -Hi.
-Yank the parking brake hard. -Yes?
-I understand. -Okay.
Are you the person who wanted to meet...
I'm Yi-kyung Seo.
It's nice to meet you. I'm Jae-hyun Kang.
I came ten minutes early to avoid being late, but you came even earlier.
Let's go inside.
Where's Ms. Seo?
She just met Jae-hyun Kang and went in with him.
But are you sure he's an IT tycoon?
What do you mean?
He looks like your next-door neighbor.
Read the paper once in a while.
Do you know how much his company stock is worth and their annual sales?
His personal assets add up to hundreds of billions of won.
The new generation's leader voted by young men.
He's been winning for years now.
I don't do politics.
You're not a very good liar.
The article about my being the next presidential candidate
was something the reporters made up on their own
just because I'm popular in the online community.
It's a headache and everyone criticizes you.
Why would I do politics?
I'd rather use that time to develop a new program.
Then develop a new program.
We have nothing else to talk about.
My wife is interested in art.
I came to ask you for recommendations
for good pieces or artists.
If I like the artist, I may buy immediately.
There is one person.
There is?
Who?
Tae-joon Jang.
I've heard of him before, too,
but I'm not a fan.
His style is too rough and old.
On the flipside, he is broad and stable.
I'm a first-generation venture capitalist.
If I pursued stability, I wouldn't be this successful.
When you're young, taking risks is an opportunity,
but you should find internal stability now.
If by chance, much later on,
I decide to consider politics, I'll give you a call first.
What a shame.
Next time, let's discuss business rather than politics.
For me, this is business.
He's very modest for a multi-millionaire.
He isn't arrogant, either.
Don't be fooled by the cover.
If he reached the top in his industry,
it means he is standing in a pool of blood.
Countless competitors and opponents
probably fell at his feet, bleeding.
I'm sure he's running calculations in his head right now,
to decide with whom he should work in order to claim the presidency.
We'll have to help him speed up his decision.
I wanted to hear the details of your plan.
After I hear your honest thoughts.
Collins Co. documents.
That's when I realized
that Ms. Seo will not stop, no matter what happens.
Even if she becomes a monster,
she will climb toward the top until the bitter end.
I can't give up on her.
I will not run away and I won't have any regrets.
I'll make her stop,
even if I have to knock her down.
The Special Planning Team uses this office for outworking.
They won't need it for a while, so you may use it.
What should I do?
A Yi-kyung task force.
Gallery S, Mr. Jang, and TJ Cultural Foundation.
Investigate everything that Yi-kyung is associated with.
Ms. Moon and I will stop by often.
I'll provide all material and funds that you need.
That won't be a problem.
If Yi-kyung implodes at this rate,
you and I may not get another chance.
I know.
Hi, Tak.
What are you up to?
I'm working.
Did you get a job? Or a part-time gig?
You'd be shocked if you heard, so it's best you don't know.
Why? Is something wrong with Ms. Seo?
Can't I call if it isn't about her?
I haven't seen you at all, so I thought you were out of the country.
I almost did go.
What do you mean?
-Tak. -Yeah?
Even if you and I conflict later on, don't be too shocked.
I'll do my job. You do yours.
Are you starting a rebellion or something?
Why are you trying to sound cool?
Try not to call, either.
You'll get in trouble with Ms. Seo.
Hey, Se-jin.
Bye.
-Thank you for dinner. -My pleasure.
He was meeting with Assemblymen from the Minwoo Party.
Good job.
What?
I think Se-jin started at a new job.
She didn't tell me what or where.
So?
She said she and I may conflict, and that we should do our own thing.
Did you call her? Or did she?
I did.
-Don't call anymore. -But--
She insisted on going alone, although I gave her an opportunity.
Let her do whatever she wants.
Let's see what she can do.
I found it.
He has accounts overseas in a relative's name.
If you add it all up, it must be at least a hundred million dollars.
Who? Jae-hyun Kang?
Yeah, the clunker-driving guy who pretends to be a commoner.
Tak, you'll have to get up early tomorrow.
What is that?
I don't know. Someone said to give it to you.
Okay, let me see it.
Damn it.
I have some funds in overseas accounts.
They're under borrowed names,
so they'd be difficult to explain if people were to find out.
And?
But...
someone sent me documents on those accounts.
I think it was a warning of sorts.
I'm sure it was an offer.
If those documents reach the Minwoo Party,
all of the networking that you've been doing will go to pot.
Even if you try to contact other parties, the result will be the same.
I am the only person who will accept you.
You shouldn't threaten me like this.
I just said it was an offer.
Money overseas that may disqualify you from being a presidential candidate
should be laundered and made untraceable.
I can help you with that as well.
Stop by Seongbuk.
I heard Seongbuk has a new master.
I guess it was true.
I draw the picture.
He simply colors it in.
Why did you choose me?
Your extreme ambition.
Your greed is unparalleled.
That is a great virtue for a partner to have.
Did you say Jae-hyun Kang?
Yes.
Ms. Seo said to schedule a meeting.
He has Tae-joon in the palm of her hand, too?
Yes. I don't know what she has on him,
but the word's out that Seongbuk has a new master.
She made even Mr. Jang her puppet. I never stood a chance.
Is that why you dumped it on Gun-woo?
He's highly capable. He's doing his job well.
He's busy preparing for the second tender. That's why I came instead.
I just can't understand.
Don't worry about anything else. Focus on your health.
You know, about Bong-soo's daughter.
Just how far does she want to climb that she's doing all this?
I just don't get it.
I can't find it anywhere.
What should I do?
You're a disappointment.
Without the seal, there's a limit to your filling in as chairman.
You can't turn your back on me now.
I did this because I trusted you.
I'm looking for a way,
but it's...
If the best won't work, there's always the worst.
The worst?
Submit a request to the court to become the chairman's legal guardian.
Do you mean, have my father declared incompetent?
Once you restrict his property rights and become his guardian,
Chunha Financing will become yours.
Why?
Do you feel a belated sense of filial piety?
I'll think it over.
It's so sudden.
If you hesitate when you should run, you end up falling.
Whether or not you fall, I'll continue running at my pace.
You decide whether you will keep pace with me or fall.
Is this company not participating in the second tender?
It's Geo Construction.
The company Yi-kyung pushed during the initial tender.
I see. The company that she colluded with.
We'll have to remove the traps that she set up within the group, too.
Don't get pushed around.
Of course not.
Mr. Jo.
You do not need to attend the meetings anymore.
The emergency adviser position has been terminated.
Thank you for everything until now.
-Let's go. -Sure.
-About the file I sent you... -Yes?
My system access has been revoked as well.
The administrator deleted my account entirely.
It's not like I can't hack into their system, but still.
I think Chairman Moo-sam Park is completely off the Neo City Project.
Gun-woo Park is commanding everything right now.
I understand. You may be excused.
I just want to see my grandfather! Move. Get out of my way!
Ma-ri!
Dad.
What are you doing? I told you, you can't visit him.
I'll just look at his face and go. Just one minute.
Not until the doctor says it's okay.
That's ridiculous! I want to talk to that doctor.
-His granddaughter wants to see him! -Keep it down!
You're being louder!
Why that...
Ma-ri.
Grandpa needs his rest.
Grandpa.
Please wake up.
Okay?
Father. How could you do this?
Shut up! Drag him out of here.
Father. Let go! Have you lost your mind?
Why are you doing this to me? Why?
Father.
A shift in generations.
I said it's time for Chunha Financing to get a new owner.
Don't dream. Make it a reality.
Se-jin!
Here.
Here. Come on.
How much did you drink?
It's because you wouldn't come.
I called like crazy.
I was working.
Is work more important than your friend?
Bad girl.
You're a terrible friend.
Sit.
If you sit and drink with me, I'll forgive you.
Forget it. Stop drinking. Get up.
Nope! I'm going to drink more.
Let's drink until we die.
-Goodness. -No.
-I don't want to. -Come on.
Careful. Are you okay?
-Are you okay? -I'm okay.
How much did you drink?
Are we going for round two?
Yeah, we're going for round two.
Nice!
Let's go to T-Rex in Hongdae.
I heard it's totally hot there.
Not bad. You know things like that too?
You told me before.
Did I?
Are you okay? Do you feel sick?
He was sleeping like a baby.
My grandpa.
Did you get to see him?
I thought you couldn't.
A hospital isn't a prison!
There were too many of my dad's men there,
so I kicked them in the knee and ran in.
Good job.
Grandpa
keeps sleeping like a baby.
Dang it.
You know Ma-ri's grandfather is in the hospital, right?
Do you know how he's doing?
She's very worried.
Don't worry on other people's behalf.
You'll make your life more tiring.
Chairman Eu-sung Son?
Yes, Mr. Son of Chunha Financing. Ma-ri's grandfather.
I think he's being held captive at the hospital.
Ms. Seo may be controlling his son.
Why do you suspect that?
I wouldn't put it past her to tell someone
to lock up his own father.
Ms. Seo is a little...
No, she's very different now.
Okay.
Let's talk about that again later.
-We can't push it off. -Se-jin.
It's urgent that we choose a construction company for the Neo City Project.
You said you'd gather allies and split up the enemy.
We can turn Chairman Son into our ally.
I know, but right now, the second tender is more urgent,
and you need to help with it.
-I'll go to the office. -Se-jin.
Let Geo Construction participate in the second tender.
Ms. Seo, this is out of line.
You became the chairman thanks to me.
You can't say I'm out of line.
I am simply demanding my fair share.
So,
if I refuse to comply,
you'll do the same to me as you did to Chairman Son?
There are many ways.
Mr. Jang has the documents on your rebate matters,
and we have the foreigner who can handle it much more swiftly.
Do not underestimate other people's greed.
Ma'am.
What are you doing here?
And what are you doing here?
I had forgotten.
You like playing detective.
Are you having fun digging into me with Gun-woo?
I am digging into you,
but it isn't fun,
since I have to knock you down.
Knock me down? You two?
That sounds exciting.
I won't stop you anymore.
It's not like you'd listen, anyway.
It's not like you'd win, just because you fight.
Even if I lose, I won't regret it.
I like the look in your eyes.
It's similar to when I first met you.
I enjoyed our chat, but I have another appointment.
You should go, then.
I'll be waiting.
It'll hurt.
What's on the agenda?
Jae-hyun Kang will accompany Mr. Jang in giving out food
to the underprivileged tomorrow and announce their solidarity.
What a nice picture.
If you two join together, it'll stir up the presidential election.
It'll represent a union of generations and harmony between left and right.
I'll be coming frequently. Let's skip the inspections.
I opened my arms and my legs.
It's quite insulting.
It's our security protocol. It's out of my hands.
Get home safely.
Politics is a business, too.
Even if you don't like someone, if it will bring a profit, you should hide it.
Is it because you worked only with Mr. Jang?
You are too blatant about disliking me.
I won't walk you out.
You refuse qualified candidates and bring him, instead?
He became the best in his industry.
He has a high profile and preference.
The presidential election is not a popularity contest.
What can you do with just a shell?
To me, you are also nothing but a shell.
Help Mr. Kang and put up the sign.
You just need to follow my plan thereafter.
I'm saying he's weak, that's why.
If you have a complaint, write. That's what you like to do.
You should control your rage before tomorrow.
CHAIRMAN MOO-SAM PARK
Uncle.
Are you asleep?
What is it?
The second tender is tomorrow.
I've excluded Geo Construction.
Yi-kyung won't sit still.
So? What can she do?
Take care of it. You're the one in charge.
Are you okay?
I'll take care of myself.
You should go.
I understand. Okay.
It was Geo Construction.
They were notified that they cannot participate in the Neo City second tender.
Gun-woo refused to give in.
I told them to wait until the results tomorrow.
Please take a look.
2017 MOOJIN NEO CITY SECOND TENDER
I'm surrounded by so much love that it could melt away the cold front.
This event providing food to the handicapped and underprivileged
is being sponsored by TJ Cultural Foundation.
Along with former President Tae-joon Jang, Jae-hyun Kang, the god of the IT world
and other influential people from various circles are here.
Let's meet some of them now.
Please enjoy.
Come back for more.
TJ FOUNDATION "FOOD WITH LOVE"
Mr. Jang looks good with an apron on.
Let's speed it up. Hurry.
I'm hungry. Hurry.
Wait. Hold on.
I'm sorry, Se-jin.
The second tender is in ten minutes, so I'm in a rush.
That's what this is about.
Why don't you wait inside?
What is it about?
Ms. Seo knows that Geo Construction can't participate, right?
I'm sure they called her, since she backed them since the initial tender.
So what happened?
What do you mean?
Did Ms. Seo or that company do anything since?
We notified them that they cannot participate. What could they do?
Even if they tried, it would be useless if I didn't play along.
The Ms. Seo that I know would never give up.
She wouldn't give up on a company she worked so hard to push.
You did great today.
I'm so tired.
Mr. Jang didn't sit yet.
Please show some respect.
There are plenty of seats here.
The technology is an excuse.
I heard you made big money by selling stock and merging companies.
It doesn't compare to your real estate policy while you were in office.
I heard the property tycoons who benefited
are still singing your praises.
Mr. Kang.
What is this?
I didn't call you together so you can argue.
You must make it clear to the reporters that you are on the same side.
If you don't like my plan, you may get up and leave.
If the teamwork is this poor, I should start from scratch.
There are plenty who can replace you.
If you don't like my plan, I'll take you out.
Hello, Mr. Jo.
The Neo City Project's second tender has been postponed.
You were right.
Yi-kyung and Geo Construction were planning to play games.
They chose companies that would be top contenders,
and once one of them was selected,
Geo Construction was going to acquire them right away.
Which company was it?
The Special Planning Team is investigating a few companies that they suspect.
If they were conspiring with them, those companies will be excluded as well.
Thank goodness.
It's unfortunate for Yi-kyung.
It is no longer attack and defend.
We will just attack each other.
The fight has already begun.
Hack into Moojin's system.
Get copies of every document that was updated regarding the Neo City Project.
Yes, ma'am.
Tell Geo Construction's president and executive director to come here now.
I'll call them.
Go to Mr. Son at Chunha Financing.
Find out whether the funds
for Geo Construction's acquiring were properly delivered.
Yes, ma'am.
Se-jin.
We're ready. Let's go.
I chose the most trustworthy people from the Special Planning Team.
You don't have to go, if you don't want to.
I'm done working for the day.
This is strictly personal.
When we investigated Collins Co., your friend Ma-ri helped us out.
I should repay her.
SUNGHA MEDICAL CENTER
I'll go ahead.
Thank you.
Wait in the car.
I'll go up too.
You said Mr. Son's men are there. It's dangerous.
If the chairman wakes up, I need to calm him down.
-Se-jin. -I'm done with work for the day, too.
This is personal for me as well.
Se-jin.
Tell Yi-kyung not to be so suspicious.
Becoming an adult's legal guardian is very complicated.
Do you know how many documents we need to prepare for the court?
I have no time to have second thoughts.
I don't know anything.
She told me to check on the delivery, so I'm following orders.
It's fine.
I told you, it's fine.
I'm going to head to the hospital now. What is it?
Fumigation? Why the sudden fumigation?
I don't know.
They say they need to replace the bedding and everything.
Ask hospital administration.
We're doing that now.
It's nothing serious. It's just out of precaution.
Yes. That's right.
Okay.
They've confirmed.
Okay.
You may go in.
You should keep as much of a distance as possible.
What? Will I catch something?
If you're unlucky.
Hey.
Hello, ma'am.
The acquiring funds are fine.
Where's Mr. Son?
He's headed to the hospital.
He was complaining about some fumigation.
-Fumigation? -They're fumigating all the rooms.
How far away is the hospital?
Sir.
Don't worry. I'm Ma-ri's friend. Hang in there, okay?
Wait for the fumes to dissipate.
-Hello, Mr. Son. -Check on my father!
And don't let those fumigators go.
Shit.
Hey! Stop them!
-Get them! -Shit.
Gun-woo?
You guys are all dead. Stay right there!
There they are. Hey! Stop!
Stop!
Hurry.
Why you...
-Hey. Why are you pulling out? -Se-jin, get in!
Hey! Get them!
Hurry!
Hey!
-You punk! -Hey!
-What are you doing?
Back up!
-Back up! Now! -Back up!
Back up, you rat!
Back up!
I won't stop you anymore.
It's not like you'd listen, anyway.
It's not like you'd win, just because you fight.
Even if I lose, I won't regret it.
It'll hurt.
Oh my gosh. What did you do?
What will you do about your people?
One steals my father,
and the other gets in our way so that we can't catch her.
Was it Se-jin?
Yes.
Gun-woo was there too.
Keep it down.
Chairman Son will return after a few days' rest.
That's the problem.
He can't just kick you out,
since you gathered company stock during that time.
That's not the problem. Once my father starts yelling, I'm dead.
Then you should die,
if getting yelled at will kill you.
Yi-kyung!
Treat Tak's wounds.
Come up when you're done.
You people...
We moved you to another hospital.
You're safe now.
You're getting a drug to help you recover, so you'll feel better in no time.
Ma-ri is on her way.
I owe you a lot.
Make sure no one goes in.
Yes, sir.
Se-jin.
Yes?
Do you think Tak will be okay?
I'm not sure.
Ms. Seo cares a lot for him, so she may scold him and end it at that.
-Se-jin. -Hi.
-How's Grandpa? -He just woke up.
You didn't tell anyone, did you?
I didn't.
You said to keep it a secret from my dad, too.
He's in room 1101. Go on.
Thank you. Thank you so very much.
Grandpa.
Yeah.
How could you do this? I thought you were really going to die.
I won't die.
Of course not.
I was really worried.
I thought it was going to be the end.
Grandpa.
Don't get hurt again, okay? Promise for my sake.
You promised, okay?
Jae-hyun Kang Enters the Presidential Race
Tae-joon Jang Announces He Will Support Him
Yi-kyung
got that far already.
I guess her next goal has been decided.
Mr. Jang.
If it isn't urgent, let's talk tomorrow.
I'm exhausted.
Chairman Son apparently escaped from the hospital.
Escaped?
Yes.
I think Gun-woo was behind it.
Gun-woo?
He's challenging Yi-kyung?
Why did you let them hit you?
They outnumbered me by too much.
I said to be careful.
I'm sorry.
So, did Se-jin get away safely?
-Gun-woo, too? -Yes.
You saw how pissed off Gi-tae Son was.
With his ability,
he couldn't have kept him locked up much longer anyway.
But I didn't know Se-jin would move so quickly.
Why did you tell me to save her?
Was it protection again?
Protection?
Like last time, when you told me to protect her.
It's bait.
She'll feel like she owes you.
She'll blame herself for what I do to you, whether I fire you or punish you.
That's how she is.
Must I deceive her?
If needed.
Your words. Your actions.
She won't suspect any of them.
Not just Se-jin. Gun-woo, too.
Why? Do you have a problem with that?
Se-jin is no match for you.
Even if she's working with Gun-woo Park.
I don't think you need to--
Moojin's Neo City second tender was postponed.
The strategy to have Geo Construction acquire the winning company is void.
I'm positive it was Se-jin's doing.
How could she...
She's starting to copy me, since she said she'd reflect me.
Then I should show my respect and trample her.
Just remember whom it is we are fighting.
Ask whether she wants to get hurt or give up if she's scared.
Don't you get tired?
No. I don't want to lose Ms. Seo.
If we lose now, the company and the project will shake.
We need to catch Yi-kyung before she pushes harder.
I think they want to meet Jae-hyun Kang.
This is a trap.
Will Se-jin be hurt too?
We must eliminate Yi-kyung Seo.
Did you give the order to get rid of me?
