I'll get you something to drink.
EPISODE 10
Ma'am.
The chairman's awake.
That's a relief.
I'll get going.
You should go in.
You're not supposed to see me
at the hospital,
since you don't know about Gun-woo and me.
You said he's awake.
That's good enough.
Didn't you come to apologize?
-Apologize? -To say you feel bad
about that day.
I don't know.
I never felt bad or wanted to apologize.
I wanted to see what he looked like lying there.
He probably doesn't know the group has a new owner.
I do pity him.
I know you don't really mean it.
On the inside, you--
How would you know, when I say I mean it?
Don't jump to conclusions.
It looks like Gun-woo is letting you take the final step.
Keep pushing forward.
There are still
other things you must get through.
How's the chairman?
He's sleeping.
I'm going in to see him.
Go in, then. I'll leave now.
Earlier,
I was able to maintain the dignity of a corporate heir, thanks to you.
I almost broke down
crying like a little boy.
Thank you.
In the end,
you might not thank me after all.
Goodness. Good morning everyone.
MOOJIN GROUP
Hello, Mr. Park.
CHAIRMAN MOO-SAM PARK
The louder the scarecrow, the more effective it is.
If Chairman Park becomes drunk with power and starts to waver,
people will focus only on him.
Meanwhile, you and I can quietly take what really matters.
You replaced Moojin's chairman.
With that big accomplishment,
you can act a little more arrogant.
It is nothing but a mere milestone.
We have a long way to go.
Bong-soo raised his daughter well.
Please get your people to take action now.
There is no need to hold back
Moojin's Neo City Project.
The larger the business,
the funds required
would be astronomical.
Once the regulation is repealed,
Chairman Park will accelerate the project.
Once the funds start to flow, we will form a new foundation
to serve as your trustworthy coffer.
Okay.
So what's the next problem?
It is you.
-What? -Because you gave me half of the key only.
Singapore, Monaco, and the Virgin Islands.
You should give me the accounts
in these regions as well.
That can't be.
There must have been a mistake.
I'll check--
I don't need it, if it's only the half.
If you can't trust me, trust in my abilities.
I'm sure there are more hidden accounts.
Find as much as you can.
Will he hand them over just because we find them?
What about Baeksong's Mr. Nam?
He's trying everything to get him out.
I'm sure they're trying to pressure the previous director to take the fall.
He plans to give me half only
and give the rest back to Jong-gyu Nam when he gets out.
He wants to show who's really in control.
He doesn't seem like a pushover.
He's a worthy opponent.
It'll get more interesting, too.
Tell Se-jin to come up.
Well...
She hasn't come in yet.
There are no rules to this fight.
If I don't knock him down, I'll be the one attacked.
Even if I resent them after I fall,
the victors do not hear a thing.
The father commits all the terrible sins
and the son receives the punishment.
I'm sorry for putting you through that.
You listened to all of that?
You should've told her to shut up and kick her out.
When you think about it,
she's a victim too.
It isn't her fault she became
so vicious and cold hearted.
It's because the world was not generous
and people were vicious, that she changed.
Gun-woo.
Yes?
Did you like her a lot?
Briefly, when I was young.
Not anymore?
You can't do it?
It's more accurate to say "I don't want to."
Think of all the effort you've put in.
Are you wavering now?
When I saw the chairman lying there
and Gun-woo yesterday, I regretted it.
If I made the wrong decision, I should fix it even if it's late.
Since you mixed insincerity,
you truly began to feel for him,
is that it?
No. Gun-woo is a secondary reason.
I want to stop for you.
I don't quite understand.
If I continue with it,
you will keep being damaged.
Gun-woo is getting hurt without knowing,
but you'll knowingly become crueler,
as you did to the chairman yesterday.
I started this for you,
but if it will rather become a poison,
I should stop here.
Go ahead.
If you want to stop, stop.
It'll be hard for Gun-woo to make a comeback anyway.
What did you do to--
One more thing.
Whether you start or stop something,
don't use me as an excuse.
Don't throw in some lame reason, either.
GENERAL BUSINESS TEAM
I'm Gun-woo Park.
I was transferred here to the General Business Team.
Where's my desk?
This way, sir.
Yes. Please. Here.
Over here.
It's uncomfortable for me, too,
but it must be more awkward for you.
Let's hang in there as long as we can.
The chairman's assistant?
I've seen you ever since you worked for Moo-yi,
so I know what you're capable of.
I need you to help me from now on.
But...
It is so sudden.
Did you hear Gun-woo was sent to the General Business?
-Yes. -He doesn't need an assistant
to help him write his resignation.
You're strictly professional,
so you'd never betray your new boss
for your old one.
-Of course, not. -That's right.
Please help me a lot going forward.
Ms. Yi-kyung Seo of Gallery S is here to see you.
Send her in.
My goodness.
I was very disappointed.
I expected you at my inauguration celebration,
but you merely sent flowers.
It's gloomy, isn't it?
I'm thinking of redecorating completely.
Don't change it.
Maintain the decor and the personnel
exactly as they are.
What do you mean?
You kicked out your big brother.
The sentiment in the company must be the worst.
You shouldn't take unnecessary risk.
You must announce that you will follow Chairman Moo-il Park's
management philosophy and take over the people as well as the business as is.
Our new chairman was smart.
It was obvious you'd help me if he left you alone,
so he's making you his assistant so you can't do anything.
I was surprised as well.
He figured you out.
That you do your best, no matter who your boss is.
I am sorry.
I don't think...
I can help you anymore.
There's no need anyway.
Why would I need an assistant here?
You don't deserve this.
It's because I lost.
My uncle, Mr. Jang
and Yi-kyung.
The victors have no reason to be generous.
I lost, so I rolled down to the bottom.
But I'll do whatever it takes to climb back up.
Ms. Yi-kyung Seo
is here.
Look, what are you talking about--
Mr. Jo is very capable.
And he's highly qualified.
Still, how could I make him an adviser for the Neo City Project?
That's a different story.
A temporary adviser's role should suffice.
He'll help out only during meetings.
And I have someone at the gallery, Ms. Kim,
who's a network expert.
She'll need authority to freely share information that only high executives
such as company presidents can access.
I'll stop there for today.
Ms. Seo.
It would've been difficult for me to become chairman
without your help.
I give you that, I do,
but I'm uncomfortable having you
tell me how to run the business.
-So? -What?
I understand you're uncomfortable.
But what does that have to do
with what I asked?
Are you saying you'll treat me like a puppet from the outset?
I am the chairman of Moojin Group, the greatest corporation!
You obtained the position that you wanted.
So now, you should do what I want.
That was always the condition of our deal.
I'll have to reconsider such difficult demands.
It was difficult to make you chairman,
but it's easy to remove you.
Don't test my abilities,
sir.
Isn't the chairman's office nice?
It doesn't suit my uncle, though.
He'll adapt to make himself fit in.
You'll get used to the basement, too.
I heard from my father.
I considered running over and duking it out with you,
but it was funny.
How desperate was the great Yi-kyung Seo,
that she used the stale first love sap story?
I'm relieved that he's recovered.
I'm sure it's a great relief to you.
If anything had happened to my father,
I wouldn't have forgiven you.
I wish I could be frightened, but I'm busy.
Bye.
Yi-kyung.
Just wait. It won't take long.
Take a good look around.
You won't be back once you resign.
Jong-gyu Nam, the director of Baeksong Foundation, who was in custody
for extortion of donations for the foundation
was released this morning for lack of culpability.
The prosecutor states the illegal activities of the foundation
were actually performed by the previous director, Gi-chul Jung,
and that they plan to expedite the investigation.
Meanwhile, Jong-hyuk Nam, who was being investigated for corruption,
plagiarism...
I thought you'd take a few days off. You shouldn't push yourself.
I was inattentive due to my carelessness,
so I must do my best.
I heard you helped a lot in the interim.
You may take it slowly now.
I heard your brother found a very good attorney.
I'm happy for him.
These accounts were kept safe separately.
So our employees were not aware of them.
What did I say?
Without Mr. Nam, nothing gets done right.
Now that he's back,
you can trust him with the business here.
One is missing.
You should give me the account for the Cayman Islands, too.
That's...
Bring it.
It isn't here. It is being kept elsewhere.
I'll have it delivered to you.
Bring it yourself.
Right this instant.
I don't feel great
after what happened to Moo-il.
I wonder
how Gun-woo is doing, too.
Don't concern yourself.
Gun-woo Park
doesn't have any more moves to make.
Is that right?
Doesn't it feel like musical chairs?
Put your guard down for a moment,
and you lose your chair.
Yi-kyung is very greedy, too.
I heard you lost your chair as well.
My dear.
Did the news reach Seongbuk already?
Where is the document on my uncle taking rebates?
You may have refused my visit, but don't refuse the transaction.
It'll be obvious where you got the document. I won't dig my own grave.
I'm sure you didn't come all the way here to tell me that.
You must have other transactions in mind.
Chairman Man-ho Song was recently removed
from association chairman.
If you use him well,
even if you can't take Ms. Seo's chair,
you may be able to shake it a little.
How is Mr. Jang doing?
The foundation's current state looks good.
These numbers are wrong.
Fix it.
This is insane. How can I prepare a project proposal
for a new foundation in such a short time?
I'm not saying I won't do it.
Yi-kyung is too demanding.
Does she think
she's the commanding general or something?
What happened to Chairman Song?
"I lost my position as chairman of the association,
and you expect me to donate to the foundation, too?"
He kept whining so much,
so I made sure he understood.
You didn't do anything silly?
Father,
I'm not a thug.
What's going on here? Is there a war?
Hey! Is the company your playground?
Why do you keep coming?
Dad.
Are you visiting your friend again?
I came to see you.
You hate Ms. Seo, don't you?
I do.
She didn't need to go that far.
She was too harsh on you.
She doesn't know
she's bruising herself by doing that.
No.
She does it knowing she is.
She said she'd become a villain.
She's just keeping her promise.
She doesn't need to keep a promise like that.
My sentiments exactly.
We're talking about Yi-kyung again.
I heard you were transferred to a new department.
That's why I have a lot of time to kill now.
And I found a weapon worth fighting with.
A weapon?
What is it?
So you can tell Yi-kyung?
Gun-woo.
I don't know yet.
I need to look into it more.
Will you
use that weapon and become a villain, too?
I'll have to do much worse.
It'll piss me off to haul down my flag now.
Do you fight for pride?
Do you fight to show others?
You can just give in.
What is wrong with both of you?
Just because one person keeps running, the other doesn't need to be dragged--
Se-jin.
I know you're concerned for Yi-kyung,
but you should convince her, then.
Gun-woo.
Are you insane?
You call me out to the car to discuss a secret,
and you're talking about Gun-woo Park?
You respect Ms. Seo, right?
What does that have to do with him wasting his time?
You want
her business to do well without a glitch, right?
Don't you want to sleep well when you go to bed?
Why are you asking the obvious?
It's like dominoes.
-What? -Gun-woo
will cause a problem, from the look of things.
If Ms. Seo finds out,
she won't just sit back.
I don't know who will win,
but both of them will fall in danger.
How can you stop it?
You need to help me.
Hey, punk.
What if Ms. Seo finds out?
-I've been fired once already. -So have I.
I know it's risky,
but it's for Ms. Seo.
Forget it. Don't bother.
Don't even think about it.
Tak.
I didn't hear anything.
What is that punk Gun-woo planning to do?
Those thieves.
I won't just take this.
I'll do whatever it takes to take revenge.
So,
you were locked up by Chunha Financing's president Gi-tae Son?
He said if I didn't donate to the foundation, I was dead.
Which foundation?
Chairman Eu-sung Son is creating a foundation.
It's supposedly
for maintaining Mr. Jang's slush fund or something.
Chairman Son is nothing but a puppet, too.
The one behind the curtain
controlling him is that witch, Yi-kyung Seo.
Do you mean Yi-kyung Seo from Gallery S?
They're all in it together.
I won't forgive them.
They created the foundation in such a rush.
There are countless shady things about it.
Please
go into more detail in front of my lawyer.
Why does Moojin Group care about this?
It's Chairman Moo-sam Park's secret orders.
We need to know the situation inside in order to work with them
and maintain a relationship.
Oh.
Will you help?
23BU 9630
RUNNING VEHICLE REGISTRATION FROM OUTSIDE SOURCE
What?
Bring me the documents Moojin sent.
The Neo City documents? They're ready.
Did you send Tak on an assignment?
He was running a license plate just now.
Where's Se-jin?
Huh? She was here a minute ago.
Are you still angry?
I was never angry.
Are you at the hospital?
I just visited my friend and was about to leave.
Hello?
Yes. I'm at the hospital too.
I'm on my way down.
I see you now.
You visit your friend often. You must be close.
She's such a nag.
She complains if I don't visit, but still complains when I do come.
She's so annoying.
What did you say was wrong with your friend?
She had some sort of infection and got surgery.
Recovery is taking a while.
Would you like a ride?
That would be better than a cab.
Let's go.
Right, you know,
that matter you said you'd look into.
How did it go?
I'm not making any progress.
Would you like to help me?
No.
I work for Gallery S
and I respect Ms. Seo.
Calm down. I was kidding.
But don't do anything too dangerous.
It may become less dangerous if you'd help.
Do you want to know what it is?
I think we're here.
Take care.
Thank you for the ride.
Bye.
-What is it? -Ms. Seo found out everything.
Everything you and Tak have been doing.
Tak did nothing wrong.
He only helped because I kept begging him.
So please forgive him.
I should give him a bonus.
I have no reason to tell him to leave.
The information Tak found is crucial.
The person Gun-woo met was Chairman Man-ho Song.
He must have a grudge after losing his position as the association chairman.
I'm sure he was going to go public about how the foundation is being founded.
Then...
Good work.
Keep it up.
I won't give you orders on what to do.
Ma'am.
I know.
You want to make excuses, that you did it for me.
You told me your justification last time, so I know already.
You are neither a monster nor a villain.
Goal, plan, business.
They are all important.
But you don't need to hurt people
in order to pursue them.
That isn't your image that I want to reflect.
You're more complicated than you seem.
You make me think annoying things every so often.
"Did I misjudge her?"
"Was she meant to remain a cheap mirror?"
Don't get in my way.
Don't do anything stupid behind my back, either.
Then
you can become me.
I plan
to reconsider that decision.
Keep it short.
The best answer is through action.
When do you have time? I need to tell you something
So funny.
Seriously.
Yes. Okay, I'll see you there.
Hello, Ms. Moon.
What is it?
-Sit. -I have an appointment.
Hey, punk.
What's more important than a meeting with the chairman?
I said, sit.
You didn't redecorate.
I'm not as big a jerk as you think.
I'd like to believe you, but I've experienced too much.
Sure, you did suffer a lot.
I know that.
If you wanted to see how your nephew was doing, you could've texted.
Go to New York and let go of what happened.
You'll get your new appointment by tomorrow.
It's urgent, so you'll need to leave right away.
You've worked in New York before, right?
I'm sure you know many people there,
so it won't be too hard.
-Uncle. -I did this for you.
What could you possibly do here?
People will be talking behind your back.
I won't go.
You'll refuse an official appointment?
I can't leave my father alone.
I'd rather resign.
And then?
You'll think about how to stab me in the back?
Or will you look for Mr. Jang's weaknesses?
I have an appointment to get to.
That appointment was canceled.
-Excuse me? -That Chairman Song or whatever.
He won't show up.
I heard
he decided to zip his mouth shut.
So don't waste your time
and go to New York.
Why do you keep pressuring me to be a bad son?
Even if I resign, I have to stay with my father.
If you don't go to New York,
Moo-il will have to return to prison.
His sick bail will be canceled, punk.
That's what you call being a bad son, don't you think?
Mr. Jang made many phone calls and gave it special attention.
It isn't easy to change the assigned judge on a case
without special circumstances.
Now, we can cancel his sick bail anytime we want.
You said we must use Moo-il in order to make Gun-woo obey,
so I had no choice.
I was busy with other things and didn't tend to Gun-woo Park.
We almost
hit a big stumbling block in getting the foundation established.
You really need to send Gun-woo that far to feel safe?
The long march is ahead of us.
We should shake out the pebble in the shoe before we start.
Hey, your boss, Yi-kyung Seo.
Because of that woman, my dad and grandpa
are way too busy.
I don't think that's right.
Who does she think she is,
that she makes my dad treat me like I don't matter?
Is she that great?
Is she that smart?
She is great.
And smart.
So what? She's a total douche bag.
I get sick just being next to her.
Watch your mouth.
She signs my paycheck.
Wow. Look at that loyalty.
Hey. Look at you.
Are you pouring for yourself?
It seems we are friends, right?
I felt down, so I called just in case,
but I didn't think you'd actually come.
I felt down too.
If you didn't call, I'd be drinking solo.
Yeah, what are friends for?
We can pour each other drinks
and vent to each other.
That's what friends are for.
Let's drink.
Sorry, Se-jin.
I'm a total evil witch.
I had no idea you were such a nice person,
and I've been terrible to you.
Why are you crying?
Don't cry.
I'm a total witch.
The truth is,
when I asked you to be friends back then,
it was because my dad made me.
I knew...
Huh? What?
You visit your friend often. You must be close.
What did you say was wrong with your friend?
It may become less dangerous if you'd help.
Do you want to know what it is?
What? Do you need to use the bathroom?
Se-jin!
Hey!
Where are you going?
That's not a bad idea.
It'll be better by the time you come back.
Did you talk to your uncle?
Yes.
He said he'd transfer me.
A bad son is a bad son no matter what he does.
Forgive me.
No.
I'll get much better by the time you get back
and stop eating hospital food.
You don't need to worry about me.
What brings you here so late?
You knew everything, didn't you?
You knew everything,
didn't you?
How did you know?
Does that matter?
-I'm sorry. -You should be.
You should be very sorry.
But my concern for you
is real.
I can't believe someone who lied to me.
I'm
being kicked out to New York.
Yi-kyung worked very hard.
But leaving my sick father behind is making me lose my mind.
And yet, you want me to believe you?
Gun-woo.
If I stop, the fight will end.
You got your wish.
Gun-woo.
Don't go.
You said you'd stop Ms. Seo.
I'll help you.
With what we have so far,
TJ Cultural Foundation should be approved without a problem.
Moojin's Neo City Project shouldn't have a problem, either.
We will have a meeting in Seongbuk.
With that,
larger businesses and greater funds will be moved around.
From now on...
Gun-woo is going
to a branch abroad.
Let's end the meeting here.
You made that happen.
Because you need to remove any obstacles.
-Am I wrong? -Hey. You...
The chairman backed off, too.
And Gun-woo was assigned to a useless post.
You don't need to corner him any further.
Do you know why Gun-woo is leaving?
If he doesn't, his father's sick bail will be canceled.
What's more interesting is,
as soon as Gun-woo leaves,
Chairman Park will be sent back to prison.
You should remove all the obstacles at once,
so they can't get in your way again.
Gun-woo knows...
that I was deceiving him.
I knew you'd get caught.
You've become very careless.
Let him stay with his father.
I expected too much.
You became careless and weak.
Don't go this far.
Gun-woo lost already.
Ma'am.
I like doing something a human can't do.
My goal is to reach the top where no one has been before.
That doesn't give you the authority to make others miserable.
You said you wanted to pass me and rise to the top of the world, right?
Then throw it away.
You have to throw away everything that gets in your way.
If you can't do that,
you'll just be a poor person struggling to make ends meet.
I said I wanted to be the best.
I don't want to become a monster.
I told you
that a moment will come when you'll have to choose.
A universal key
or an obstacle.
You choose which to become.
I don't decide it for you.
Please stop.
Not a chance.
You can stop here.
It's just getting started.
You will
lose me.
I told you, it's your choice.
I don't want to leave you.
Don't be a child.
You can't have everything just because you want it.
I never forget something I once wanted,
whether it be clothes or people.
Everything you do from now on will be in my place.
Stop being a fake who lied about your name.
Fight as the real Se-jin Lee.
Don't be nervous.
Don't be anxious.
You are the universal key that I kept hidden,
and the mirror that reflects me.
Have me do anything.
I'll do well in your place.
You said you'd make me like you.
You said you'd use me thoroughly.
I'm not afraid at all.
I'm not anxious, either.
I'm not nervous.
Just as you said before,
I am still a cheap mirror,
but
I want to reflect...
your true image, at least a little.
My goal is to reach the top where no one has been before.
That's doesn't give you the authority to make others miserable.
You said you wanted to pass me and rise to the top of the world, right?
Then throw it away.
I want
all of those lights.
I will look down from the highest place.
You can't do that.
There is only one person who can reach
the top of the world.
I said I wanted to be the best. I don't want to become a monster.
I told you
that a moment will come when you'll have to choose.
A universal key
or an obstacle.
SE-JIN
Hello, Se-jin.
It's the largest private enterprise to date.
The brains of the company have been working every night.
Don't worry about the foundation's stability.
We went through three levels of accounting
to make it difficult to trace or shut off the funds.
Good work, everyone.
Especially Ms. Seo. Good job.
It would've been impossible to accomplish this much in this short a time
if it weren't for her.
Of course.
She is the best contributor.
GUN-WOO.
I didn't think you'd call to say bye.
I need to see you right now.
I'm at an important meeting.
This is more important.
I have my uncle's rebate document.
Ignore what you saw.
-You didn't see that. -Se-jin.
Let me go.
If you do this, it's over.
You can't undo it.
Will you be okay?
I'm sorry
for stopping you when you were leaving everything behind.
What happened between you and Yi-kyung?
Se-jin.
What did she say?
She made me realize...
who I really am and what it is...
that I truly want.
Goodbye.
Se-jin.
MS. SEO
Were you in the middle of something?
I'm unemployed now.
That's good for me. Get in.
Maybe it's because the year is ending,
but I have a lot on my mind.
Will you be my friend for a day?
We never once ate out together.
You've been busy.
I had an important meeting today.
I think it'll go well.
That's great.
There was an annoying happening in the middle of it,
but it was resolved well.
It would've been nice if I could've helped.
I didn't think of that.
I'll help you next time.
Sure. I could trust you to do a good job.
It's because you taught me well.
That's good to hear.
I should buy you something good.
Since we're being friends,
do you want to drink, too?
Aren't you driving?
I can call a designated driver. Let's drink.
Se-jin.
Yes, ma'am.
I know what you're trying to do.
But
you will fail.
I'll make you stop.
Because...
I like you.
Your world
will become hell from now on.
