The development project you'll invest in.
I'd like to invest as well.
It's a very big project, Mr. Jung.
They demand a huge sum.
Oh, do they?
It's such a large-scale project.
They will develop as much as 16,338 acres.
I see.
Chairman, can you still see if I can invest as well?
Mr. Jung.
I'm actually hoping to expand my factory...
and open an office abroad.
I was unable to do so until now due to the lack of funds.
So you want to make a profit from this investment...
and put that towards expanding your company.
Yes, that's right.
But the government has already secured all the necessary funding.
Sir, is there really nothing you can do?
The only land currently available is the 820 acres I said I'd buy.
Would you like to buy it instead?
820 acres?
Doesn't that mean you won't be able to invest?
You helped me buy Chungil at a great price,
and gave me a lot of valuable advice along the way.
Even so, I don't think I should take such a great opportunity from you.
Actually, too much of my funds is tied up in Japan,
and I was somewhat concerned I might not have enough.
If you want to invest that much, you should take it from me.
Are you really sure I can invest instead of you?
I am, but if you make a fortune,
I expect to be treated to a very nice meal.
Of course, sir.
Thank you so much. I will repay you for your generosity.
Did you talk to Chairman Kang?
Yes. I will buy 820 acres in Gangnam that Chairman Kang...
was going to buy.
820 acres?
Yes.
You don't have enough money...
to buy that much land.
Find someone who can give me a loan.
Will you get a private loan?
Of course I will. Once the development plan is announced,
I'll get back dozens of times more than what I invested.
Only a few moneylenders in Korea...
have that much money.
That's why I need you to find someone. There's no time.
Father, I don't think you should...
borrow that much from a private loan.
Why don't you invest only as much as you can right now?
It's such a big project that 820 acres is the smallest lot.
Why should I invest less...
when the profit is guaranteed?
Stop worrying and find a rich moneylender.
Okay, Father.
Three million dollars?
Yes. Find us someone who can lend us that much.
Sure. But why do you need that much money?
You don't need to know that. Just find us someone trustworthy.
Don't let the word get out.
Of course. Don't worry.
So, how is he doing?
Are you watching him?
Yes. I was at the hospital two days ago.
Good. Did you notice anything strange?
Everyone there thinks he is crazy.
No one believes what he says.
Watch him and make sure there are no problems.
I don't like the fact that we're keeping this from Mr. Jung.
Is it okay to hide him without Mr. Jung knowing?
I'm in charge here, so don't worry.
The thing is, I think someone's following me.
I'm worried, that's all.
What do you mean you're being followed?
I'm not sure. I just have this ominous feeling.
Do you know of someone who'd want to follow you?
No, not really.
You can never be too safe.
Take extra care to prevent any possible problems.
If you notice anything is off, tell me right away.
I will.
This tea from China really smells lovely.
- Sook Hee. - What?
Did you use that teapot and cup just now?
Is your wrist okay now?
Of course not. It takes time to heal.
It still aches so much from time to time.
Then how did you pick up the cup?
What? I used the hand that doesn't hurt, of course.
I saw you drink from the cup with your right hand.
Are you trying to set me up?
When did I use my right hand?
My right wrist hurt so much that...
I used my left hand.
Like this.
I saw her use her right hand like nothing was wrong at all.
Did she lie about hurting her wrist?
Is that how you want to play?
(CEO Jung Jae Man)
Come in.
Did you find a moneylender?
Yes. I arranged a meeting with a Mr. Hwang.
Did you? Who is this Mr. Hwang?
He's well-known in the Myeongdong area as a big moneylender.
He has money in most of the large businesses and projects.
He also has connections in Japan and made a fortune...
by exchanging Yakuza bonds into US dollars.
That's very impressive.
It is. He doesn't show himself often...
and doesn't meet many people, so this was hard to set up.
Well done.
Mr. Hwang is well-known for being very vicious.
No one knows what he'll do if you don't pay him back.
Don't worry about that.
I can pay him back with interest in a month.
I heard you are a hard man to meet.
Thank you for sparing me your time.
You just got lucky.
So, how much do you need?
Three million dollars.
That is not a small amount.
What do you need that much for?
I'm going to invest in a government-run project.
A government project?
Yes. They're going to develop Gangnam,
and it's all very hush-hush.
I heard about that.
Anyone who is able to invest is guaranteed a windfall.
You scored a great opportunity.
Do you have collateral?
Yes. My house, factory,
and some land in Incheon.
Some land?
Is that it?
Yes.
This doesn't look too good.
It would be too risky for me to lend you...
three million with so little as collateral.
That's why I need your help.
You heard about the Gangnam development project,
so you know that my profit is guaranteed.
The announcement will be made in a month.
I'll be able to pay back the three million then,
just by selling a tenth of the land.
Mr. Jung, I'm sure you know what kind of businessman I am.
Yes, I heard.
You will be in very dire straights...
if you fail to pay me back.
That will never happen. Don't you worry.
I trust money, not people.
You say now that you're sure you can pay me back,
but we'll see if you can later on.
Mr. Hwang.
This is a tough one.
I need some time to think.
I'll get back to you within the day.
Okay. I hope it's with good news.
I'll wait for your call.
How did it go? Did he say he'll give you the loan?
No. It's such a huge amount that he said he wants to think.
No one would agree to lend you three million just like that.
He knew about the development project.
I don't have enough collateral, but the profit's guaranteed,
so I think he's wavering.
He said he'd call me within the day, so let's wait.
Okay.
Brew this and take it.
What is it, Mother?
It's medicine to boost your energy levels.
You brought her food...
and medicine too?
Good food alone isn't enough to...
make a weak person feel better.
Cooking and serving food in the heat must've drained you.
Take this and get better.
I'm fine, Mother. You can have it.
I can't. It's for you.
Dae Bong isn't good enough for you.
Thank you so much for putting up with him.
It can't be easy trying to hide your husband's problems.
Please don't say that.
I heard that when it comes to Chinese medicine,
it's about the effort put into...
making, brewing, and taking it.
I had it made with love for you,
so brew and drink it with care.
Mother, the truth is...
Dal Ja!
Let's do as she says.
Brew and take it with care.
Do you think they're all okay?
Yes, I don't think anything's wrong.
Good.
Dae Bong's mother brought her some medicine.
Did she? When I heard the old woman had...
come over, I was expecting another huge fight.
Why is she suddenly being so nice to Dal Ja?
I actually feel a bit scared.
The truth is,
she doesn't know that Dal Ja is infertile.
She thinks Dae Bong's the one with issues.
What do you mean?
Dae Bong lied for Dal Ja's sake.
Did he?
He's actually more caring than I thought.
It's late, but I'd like to apologize again.
I'm so sorry.
Forget it.
It's in the past, so let's not keep bringing it up.
You agreed to help my grandson,
so in my mind, you have paid the debt already.
Thank you so much for saying so.
Madam, one day, I will return the foundation to you,
seeing that you're the rightful owner.
Thank you for the sentiment, but don't bother.
Whether or not I am able to return as...
Chungil Foundation's chair is not that important.
Mr. Jung took my position...
to use the foundation for his own gain.
It upsets me so much.
I think it is a great pity that someone like him...
controls the foundation.
I do hope you can oust him from his position.
Please protect the company and foundation so they can...
stay true to the values they stand for.
That's all I want. Nothing more.
Now that I know what you want,
I will get Mr. Jung off the board...
and see to it that Chungil is run according to your values.
You seem to be quite busy. What are you up to?
I've been gathering information on Mr. Jung.
Like what?
There's a man who works for him called Mr. Nam.
Mr. Nam?
He runs Mr. Jung's loan business.
I'd been looking into him.
If I get something on him, I'll find something on Mr. Jung.
I see.
I noticed something, so I'm meeting someone tomorrow to check.
Who?
I'll tell you once I find out for sure tomorrow.
Once we find out exactly what Mr. Jung did,
we can clear your name as well.
Right.
Mr. Hwang said he would call me today.
He hasn't yet. Doesn't that mean he won't give you a loan?
It's a huge sum of money.
He might be using his contacts to check a few facts.
Oh, right.
Hello?
Mr. Hwang.
Thank you.
I'll come to your office with the papers and my seal.
Okay. Thank you.
It's done.
Why are you looking at the deeds to the house?
I need collateral to buy some land.
Collateral? How much land are you buying...
that you need to put up our house?
I'll invest in the development of Gangnam.
We'll get a huge profit in a month. Don't worry.
How can you make such a huge decision...
without talking to me?
My father left me all this.
I know, but it's really urgent.
The window of time is very small.
Are you that sure you will profit?
I told you so already. A month is all I need.
I'll set aside half of the profit for you.
Wait and see.
Honey.
Are you heading off to see Mr. Hwang?
Yes, I should.
He'll come to Incheon. I'm waiting for his call.
I see.
What? Are you still not sure about this?
It's not that.
A few days in a cell seems to have made you timid.
I told you that businessmen must have guts.
Timing is more important than anything in business.
You'll lose out if you think too much.
You're right. I'm still very inexperienced.
Congressman Park knew about the project and I should trust you.
I keep thinking something could go wrong.
That's okay.
You said you're going to Seoul today.
I have to visit Seoul Groceries and Chungil Flour.
Good. Meet up with Mr. Kim...
and see if he knows about the Gangnam project.
He might not since it's Chairman Kang's private investment,
but it won't hurt to check.
Right.
It must pay to be Mr. Jung's son-in-law.
I didn't think you'd get out so soon.
That's why power is so important.
You said you'd watch me fall.
I remember it so clearly.
Did you report us and put me in a cell?
I wanted to hundreds of times,
but you know I don't have the power to do so.
If it wasn't you, it was Mr. Kim.
Aren't you two both in it?
I heard that Mr. Kim went down on his knees...
in front of you and Mr. Jung.
How interesting. You have an invisible enemy.
Fighting an enemy you can't see...
can be so lonely.
Bye.
I heard you had a tough time with a tax investigation.
I'm glad you got out so soon.
Thanks. So, Mr. Kim,
do you know anything about the government project...
Chairman Kang is interested in?
A government project? What do you mean?
Have you not heard about the Gangnam development scheme?
I haven't.
Oh, I see.
Chairman Kang wouldn't discuss his...
private investments with me.
Seeing how much he thinks of you, I thought that...
he told you everything.
Why are you asking me about that?
What does Chairman Kang's personal investments...
have to do with you?
I just asked because I was curious.
It's nothing.
Here are the papers you asked for.
Thanks.
Oh dear.
Mr. Ko, you haven't been looking happy. Is something wrong?
Don't even ask. A tornado hit us last night.
Why?
My mom found out Dal Ja's barren and not me.
Do you mean she found out you lied to her?
Yes. She scolded us all night...
and we had to beg all night.
How is Dal Ja? Is she okay?
Of course she isn't. I'm so worried about her.
It's not like I can watch her all day.
What will happen now?
I doubt your mom won't just let this go.
It can't be helped.
I'm sure my mom's upset about everything,
but there's nothing she can do.
Dal Ja and I will have to make it up to her.
Don't you think about karma or retribution?
How could you even think of lying to me?
Mother, I didn't want to.
I swear, believe me.
Shut it.
Dae Bong never lied to me his whole life.
You must've nagged and bothered him so much...
to make him lie to me for your sake.
Stupid, clueless me felt guilty that...
my son wasn't a man enough,
and felt so sorry for you.
I'm really sorry. I deserve to die for what I did.
I don't care. I want you to leave Dae Bong.
- Mother. - I don't want...
a barren daughter-in-law who tears a family apart with lies.
If you have a conscience, you wouldn't dare stay married.
Get a divorce.
Mother, I can't leave Dae Bong.
Please forgive me this once. Please.
No. I said all I want to say. Let go of me.
Mother.
Okay, then. Goodbye.
Mr. Nam Yoo Cheol?
That's me. Can I help you?
You're under arrest as the suspect in the disappearance...
of reporter Cha Jong Gil.
What are you talking about?
The suspect of a disappearance?
We'll discuss the details at the station.
- Take him. - Yes, sir.
My goodness. What are you doing?
Let go of me.
Where is he?
Tell me.
Will you not tell?
I don't know who you're talking about.
What am I to say if you keep asking me about...
someone I don't know?
A witness came forward to say...
you and another man dragged him off the day he went missing.
Will you deny that?
That's nonsense.
Let me meet this witness.
How do you...
explain this, then?
It was found where the reporter went missing.
We'd kept it because we couldn't link it to anyone.
It's yours, isn't it?
It's mine? No, it isn't.
The owner of the bar you often go to told us it is.
Will you stop denying everything?
I really didn't do anything.
The sooner you confess, the better it will be for you.
Do you get that?
(CEO Jung Jae Man)
Father, I have bad news.
What's wrong this time?
The police just arrested Mr. Nam.
What? Mr. Nam? What for?
I don't know yet.
I really hope it doesn't involve us.
Can you hazard a guess?
Don't just stand there. Go and find out what's going on.
I will.
You can have a chat.
Thank you.
Mr. Nam.
What happened?
I don't know.
It's about Reporter Cha.
A witness recently showed up.
What?
Did they say what the witness saw?
Two men dragging the reporter away.
Did that person see our faces?
I don't think so.
It was very dark at the time.
Then how did the police know to arrest you?
They found my lighter at the scene.
What will happen to me now?
I'll see what I can do.
Keep denying everything.
Okay.
Hello.
Welcome. Sit down.
Are you here for a meal?
No, I'm here to talk to you.
What do you want to talk to me about?
Well...
My dad told me what he'd done to you and...
I wanted to ask for your forgiveness as well.
Is that why you came all the way here?
Yes.
It would be a lie to say I didn't hate or blame him.
But time has passed,
and I'm sure your father just got greedy at the time.
He lived with the guilt since then.
I don't want to hold it against him anymore.
If you felt bad for what your father did,
you don't have to be now.
Okay. Thank you for forgiving my dad.
Don't thank me.
Your father did a great job raising you.
You're so sweet and honest.
Thank you for the meal.
You're welcome. You can come over whenever you want.
Ma'am, my name is Seung Joon.
Kang Seung Joon.
Now you know my name,
you can call me freely.
Speak to me freely too.
Only then will I feel more comfortable.
I see.
Okay, then, Seung Joon.
Hello, ma'am.
Hi, Se Young.
Are you going shopping?
Yes. Are you back from class?
Yes.
I have to go. Goodbye.
Bye.
What is it?
Did you just call her "Se Young"?
Yes. Why?
Se Young?
The name sounds familiar for some reason.
Does it?
Well?
He's the suspect in the reporter's disappearance.
What?
Someone saw Mr. Nam and me drag him away...
and recently came forward.
He didn't see my face, but the police are...
pressuring Mr. Nam to give up his accomplice.
If they arrested him, it's only a matter of time...
before they come for you.
Why did you let things get this bad?
If you and Mr. Nam go in for murder,
I will go down for instigating it.
You don't need to worry about that.
What do you mean?
The reporter is actually still alive.
What?
You told me you'd killed him.
I just couldn't, so we let him live.
Do you mean he's alive?
Yes.
Where on earth is he?
Thanks.
- See you. - Bye.
- Take care. - Sure.
That's him.
I'll deal with him.
Let go of me.
Wait, wait.
Why are you doing this?
I'm not crazy. I haven't lost my mind.
Shut it. How dare you raise your voice here.
I hope you shut your mouth...
and keep quiet here.
Wait.
Hey! Open this door!
Let me out of here!
I'm Reporter Cha Jong Gil from Shinhwa Daily!
Please let me out of here!
Do you hear me? Is anyone there?
Listen to me!
Is that true?
He's in an insane asylum?
Yes. That was the only way to keep him locked up.
I'm really sorry I didn't do as you said.
No, no, I actually think this might work out.
They'll let Mr. Nam go if the reporter shows up.
Yes. If we make it look like...
the reporter disappeared voluntarily,
Mr. Nam's charges will be dropped.
Then we must silence the reporter first.
Don't worry about that. I'll see that he gets the point.
He'll keep quiet if I threaten to hurt...
his family if he talks.
Okay. Go and get him right now.
Sure.
(Incheon Psychiatric Ward)
Cha Jong Gil?
Get up.
I'd like to see Cha Jong Gil.
He was discharged.
What do you mean he was discharged?
His guardian just took him away.
Hello?
Father, the reporter's gone.
What do you mean he's gone?
I came to find out he'd left.
Who got him out?
I don't know. Mr. Nam and I are...
the only two who knew he was here.
Do something about this!
We're done for if the reporter talks!
I'll find him.
Go right now!
Do whatever it takes to find him!
Who could've taken him?
Come in.
Sir, I brought him.
Let him in.
Come in.
Hello, sir.
Hello. I'm Kang Myung Han, chairman of Chungil Flour.
I'm Cha Jong Gil with Shinhwa Daily.
Thank you so much for getting me out.
He hid evidence of Mr. Jung's corrupt deals with the orphanages.
I'll go and get it.
There's a secret hiding area...
behind the bookcase.
Who are you?
Se Young. Se Young?
Excuse me. Do you have a brother?
A brother who drowned.
What do you mean?
The project was scrapped? That can't be.
Did you notice anything strange about Chairman Kang?
Do you mean he already knew about it?
