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.
- Please, sit. - Thanks.
I heard you've been through a lot.
The scumbags.
They put me in a psychiatric hospital.
I shudder to think what they did to me.
Even after I'd heard that, I didn't believe Mr. Jung...
would've done so.
I will never forgive them, even in death.
I will make them suffer just as much as I did.
If that's how you feel, I'd like you to help us.
Of course, I'll help you.
After what they did to me? I must.
The evidence I have on his embezzlement from the foundation...
will help you bring them all down.
- Will it? - Yes.
You can use that to clear Madam Cho's name...
and send Jung Jae Man and Choi Jeong Wook to prison.
Thank you, Mr. Cha.
You saved my life.
Of course, I must help you.
I took the reporter to a safe place.
Did you tell him not to go out or contact anyone?
Yes. He knows the current situation,
so he will be careful.
Mr. Kim, if the reporter has to stay in hiding,
how can we get the evidence he compiled?
He said he hid evidence of Mr. Jung's...
corrupt deals with the orphanages.
Where did he say they are?
In his house.
Then how did the police not find it when they searched his place?
They must've looked around after he disappeared.
Mr. Cha said there's a secret hiding place only he knows.
Then I'll go and get the papers.
Okay, you do that.
Okay.
Well?
How did he disappear from the hospital?
Who took him?
I think it was Tae Soo.
Kang Tae Soo?
Yes. Mr. Nam had said he thought he was being followed.
I think that was Tae Soo.
But why?
He knows you and Mr. Nam go way back.
Maybe he wanted to use Mr. Nam to get something on you.
So he's been looking for an opportunity to get back at us?
Yes. I think that's why he got the reporter out.
He would be of some use.
Let's say you're right. What should we do then?
Tae Soo knows too much about me.
I'll have him followed...
to find out where the reporter is.
Hurry. We must stop him before he does something.
Okay.
Kang Tae Soo...
No, I won't go! You're a liar, Se Young!
Se Young.
Se Young?
That's it.
The name in my dream.
(Taesan Industries)
Excuse me.
Hello. We met when I was with the soup restaurant's owner.
Oh, yes. What are you doing here?
Are you here to see me?
Yes. Ms. Lee told me you live here, so I came over.
Why? Do you have something to say?
Yes. I wanted to ask you something.
What?
Do you have a little brother?
A brother?
No. I'm an only child.
An only child?
Did you lose a brother when you were young?
Maybe he drowned.
What do you mean?
I'm looking for someone at the moment...
and I wondered if you lost a brother long ago.
I didn't.
Are you sure?
I said no.
Se Young.
What are you doing out there?
I was just about to go inside.
Sorry, but I have to go.
Am I wrong?
Who is he?
Why did he ask me that?
Soo In.
Come here, Min Jae.
Soo In.
Come here, Min Jae.
Let go of me. Let me go right now!
I said come here.
- Let go of me. - Come here!
No... Could he be Min Jae?
No way, he can't be.
Min Jae died.
There's a secret hiding area in the wall behind the bookcase,
covered by a piece of wood.
That's where I put everything I have...
on Mr. Jung's corruption.
It's been a while, Tae Soo.
What do you want?
Grab him.
Hold him up.
You fool.
Tell me right now.
Where's the reporter?
What are you doing over there?
What rotten luck.
- Come on, run. - Oh well.
Get them!
Stop!
What's taking him so long?
He should be back by now.
I don't know.
Do you think something went wrong?
Tae Soo, what happened?
I was attacked by Mr. Jung's men.
My goodness.
You need to see a doctor.
Yes, Tae Soo, you should.
No, I'm fine. I wasn't hurt that badly.
That's not the worst part.
I lost everything I had that the reporter...
had given us.
I'm really sorry, sir.
Don't say that, Tae Soo.
I should be the one to apologize.
I asked for your help and got you into trouble.
Shouldn't we go and get the evidence back?
No, that's too dangerous.
We can't get back what they already took from us.
We must think of another way. Don't worry too much, Tae Soo.
This is what we got from Tae Soo.
Just in case, burn them or get rid of them.
Yes, sir.
I'm so glad we got the evidence they had on us.
We might have, but we can't let our guard down.
We have to get Mr. Nam out...
and find the reporter.
I had Tae Soo followed. We'll find the reporter soon.
We have no time.
No one knows how long Mr. Nam will keep quiet.
We can't relax until we find the reporter.
I'll do whatever it takes to find him.
Dal Ja, is my mom gone?
Yes.
I'd been bothered that you had to lie to her.
This is for the better.
We should've told her the truth sooner.
I was wrong to play along.
Was she very harsh?
Much worse than ever.
I think she's very angry with us.
I don't know what to do.
What did she say?
She said...
Tell me. I need to know so we can find a solution.
I don't have the energy to tell you.
If you want to know, ask her yourself.
Dal Ja.
What?
Your mother told you two to get divorced?
Yes. Dal Ja wouldn't tell me, so I called home.
That's what my mom said. What should I do now?
I'm sure she just blurted it out in anger.
She can't really mean that.
You don't know what my mom's like.
What she says once always goes.
Then what? Will you break up with Dal Ja?
Of course not.
I can't do that, even if it means cutting ties with my mom.
What did Dal Ja say?
Nothing much. She told me not to bother,
but her silence is killing me.
Oh dear. This is quite serious.
(Incheon Police Station)
Why am I still in here?
Are you still looking for the reporter?
We'll find him soon. Hang in there.
How long must I wait?
We're doing everything we can. We'll get you out soon.
The interrogation is getting worse.
They have a witness and clear evidence.
No one here believes me.
It's getting too hard to put up with.
I'm doing the best I can.
I hope you aren't looking for a way to get out of this alone.
What are you saying?
Mang Chi told me.
You took the evidence...
you got from the reporter.
Now you have that, you don't care what happens to the likes of me.
Isn't that what you're thinking?
You're wrong. How could you even think so?
Then why am I still in here?
Trust us and bear with me.
You'd better hurry.
Each second in here feels like a year.
No one knows what I'll do...
if I lost my mind.
I could tell the police that I helped you abduct the reporter...
because that's what Mr. Jung told us to do.
Mr. Nam.
I will not go down for this alone.
Mr. Nam is being detained? Why?
Someone went missing and the police...
seem to suspect him when he's innocent.
Oh dear.
Mr. Nam has worked for me for many years.
Could I ask you to help get him out?
I will find out if I can get him out.
Don't worry too much.
Thank you, sir. Please help us.
Of course.
Oh, about the Gangnam development scheme you mentioned.
Did you end up making an investment at all?
I did. I bought 820 acres in Gangnam.
820 acres?
Did you have that much money to spare?
No. I didn't have enough, so I got a private loan.
Isn't that too risky?
Once the government announces the scheme...
in a month, the price of land will soar and I'll pay him back.
Don't worry.
I guess not everyone's cut out to run a business.
I'm impressed.
Thank you. I took a risk because it was a rare opportunity.
A lot of politicians lose trust due to money problems.
I don't see that happening to you.
I'm envious.
You flatter me.
(Eunsung Inn)
What do you mean you lost the evidence?
How did they find out?
I think they had someone watching us.
That evidence was the only hope to prove their corruption.
I'm really sorry. We need to find another way.
There's only one other way.
Make them lead us to new evidence.
I will go and find something myself.
Wait. You can't go.
That's just too dangerous.
They're looking everywhere for you.
You need to stay in hiding for now.
But I can't just sit in here and do nothing.
You experienced first-hand...
just how ruthless those people are.
The best you can do now is lie low.
I can't let them be.
I need to make them pay.
Calm down. We'll see if we can find another way.
You're back.
I know it's hard making deliveries in this heat.
It's not that bad. Were you checking the ledger?
Yes. I was checking our entries for last month.
Why? Is there a problem?
No. I didn't notice at the time because we were so distracted,
but when I checked today, I realized we did much better...
than July of last year.
Did we?
Yes. I think our business has really settled in.
We both have been through so much.
Considered that you used to fix pots,
this is a huge success, isn't it?
It is. I used to be so greedy in the past,
but greed doesn't get you anywhere.
It's useless.
You're right.
I could ask for nothing more.
Didn't you say you're going to Seoul?
Oh, silly me.
I have to get going.
Sorry to leave you to watch the store.
Don't apologize. You're off to see your wife's old mother-in-law.
Yes. I was reluctant to visit because they had...
a long-standing misunderstanding,
but they sorted that out, so I should see her.
That old lady is practically family now.
Of course, you should visit her.
Don't worry about the store.
- Thanks. See you. - Bye.
Bye.
I'm so sorry I wasn't able to meet you earlier.
I should be saying that.
I let a misunderstanding get between us for so many years.
I'm sorry.
Don't be. All sorts of things can happen during a war.
Thank you for being so understanding.
Are you feeling better, ma'am?
Yes. Soo In and Young Sun took such great care of me.
I feel much better.
It was tough on Young Sun as she had to travel every day.
Mother, it wasn't tough at all. Don't say that.
I know it wasn't easy.
I know what it's like to make a round trip from Incheon...
to Seoul every single day.
That's why I'm so apologetic towards you, Mr. Yoon.
It's only right for us to look after you.
To be honest, I would like you to move in with us.
Thank you for the suggestion.
Thank you.
We can take time to think about that.
Now that we finally met, think of me as a son...
and stay in touch with our family.
I've been missing my parents since they passed away.
You remind me of my mom and it's just great.
I promise to treat you like I would my mother.
Thank you.
I hope you can treat me as you would your own son.
Sure, I will.
Sook Hee, how is your wrist?
It still hurts so much.
I can't do anything, it hurts so badly.
Okay, then I'll cook dinner.
You can just sit still.
I'm really sorry.
Don't say that.
What shall I cook for dinner? Kimchi stew?
You can do that. Cook whatever you want.
Honey.
Why are you home?
You hurt your wrist. I came home to help my wife.
I don't need your help. I can manage. Wait outside.
Honey, are you sick?
Is it food poisoning?
I don't feel sick. I don't know what's going on.
Could it be... that you're pregnant?
- Pregnant? - Yes.
Is that it?
It could be that. I'm not sure.
This won't do. Let's go to our room.
Sook Hee, you cook dinner.
Me? I hurt my wrist.
She's pregnant.
Then we'll eat out instead.
Take deep breaths and walk slowly.
Come here, slowly.
Walk slowly. There's no rush.
Is she really pregnant?
Do you feel better now?
I think we were blessed with the gift of life.
Why don't we go and see a doctor?
It's not that.
It has to be something and you aren't sick.
Fake vomiting means you're pregnant.
It's not because... That was make-believe.
What?
Your sister faked a sore wrist to make me do all the housework,
so I lied as well.
Is that it?
Are you very disappointed?
No, not really.
Sorry, don't be too disappointed.
We can have a baby soon.
Your sister and I are doing this to find a way to get along.
Can you let this slide?
Sure.
Reporter Park? It's me, Cha Jong Gil.
Yes, I'm alive and well.
I'll explain in person.
I'll come to your place tonight.
Okay. Let's talk in person.
Bye.
I found where Reporter Cha is.
Did you? Where is he?
He's meeting a colleague tonight.
We can get him when he comes over.
Are you sure?
Yes. I'd bribed one of Reporter Cha's close colleagues...
and he just called to say he got a call.
We got him at last.
Good.
What should we do with him?
We can't lock him up again.
There's only one thing you can do now.
(Chairman Kang Myung Han)
Reporter Cha disappeared.
What? He disappeared?
What do you mean?
I went to check on him as you said and he'd left the inn.
Did you look around?
Yes, but he's not in the area.
Find out who he may have contacted and ask them.
His life is in danger.
Yes, sir.
Where did he go?
(Chungil Flour)
I have bad news. I think Mr. Cha was attacked last night.
What do you mean attacked?
He was found late last night...
in the street, dead.
What?
Someone followed him from the inn and killed him.
The problem is, there's no witness or evidence.
They might not catch the killer.
It's my fault.
I should've kept a closer eye on him.
Mr. Kim.
Don't blame yourself.
It wasn't your fault.
I just heard from Soo In.
Did Mr. Jung really kill the reporter too?
Yes. We tried to keep him safe,
but we failed.
It's my fault.
It's not your fault. Don't say that.
I can't believe Mr. Jung would go so far.
He's so cruel.
How could someone kill another man?
It's just terrible.
Now that the reporter's dead,
is there really no way to prove what Mr. Jung did?
No, it's not over yet.
How so?
We still have one last card.
Well done, Mr. Nam.
I was actually afraid they wouldn't let me go.
I'm sorry. I tried to get you out as soon as possible,
but it took some time.
I'm sure it did.
Staying in a small cell gave me all sorts of ideas.
I even thought that you had decided to cut me loose.
Why would I give up on you?
We worked together for so long.
You never know.
Maybe you only got me out this time...
because Mr. Choi was involved as well.
I started to wonder if this were to happen again,
would you try to get me out like you did this time?
I can see the interrogation took its toll on you.
I will never turn my back on you, so don't worry.
I'm just saying this to remind you that we share the same fate,
and if anything happens to me, it will happen to you too.
I understand.
- Let's drink. - Sure.
Sook Hee, is something bothering you?
No.
Don't lie. You look so worried.
What is it?
Jae Man bought some land in Gangnam.
How much land?
820 acres.
What? 820 acres?
Why?
The government's planning to develop the area...
and he invested in that.
If it's a government thing, the profit's guaranteed.
What's the problem?
We can't afford to buy that much land.
Jae Man put up everything we have...
as collateral to take out a loan.
That's why I'm worried.
Don't be silly. When did Jae Man ever make a mistake?
I'm pretty sure he knows what he's doing.
Yes, but...
You have nothing to worry about.
Jae Man's just amazing.
We just have to wait and become millionaires.
I'm so jealous now.
My goodness.
Good for you.
Take care of this.
Yes, sir.
Taesan Noodles.
I have some terrible news.
How could this be?
What's the matter, Congressman?
The Gangnam development scheme you invested in...
just got canceled.
Are you listening?
Mr. Jung. Mr. Jung?
Father.
Mr. Jung.
What on earth was that you said over the phone?
I called you as soon as I found out the project fell through.
The project was scrapped? That can't be.
Maybe you're mistaken.
I asked around just to be sure.
I'm positive.
I was told it was a secure investment. What happened?
It wasn't a sudden flop.
What? What do you mean?
Was it Chairman Kang who mentioned the investment?
Yes. Why?
Then who did he find out about the scheme from?
The Minister of Construction.
Is that so? That's strange.
From what I heard, the people high up...
all knew that this project...
was going to be called off.
Do you mean Chairman Kang already knew this would happen?
It can't be true.
If he has connections with the Minister of Construction,
how couldn't he have known it would be scrapped?
Did you notice anything strange about Chairman Kang?
The 820 acres I bought.
It was the land he wanted to buy.
He let me buy it.
Are you saying that Chairman Kang ended up...
not investing at all?
Yes.
I have a feeling...
he did this to you on purpose.
Sure. Let's do that.
Chairman Kang!
Why are you here without an appointment?
Did you deceive me from the start?
What are you talking about?
The Gangnam development scheme.
Did you get me involved knowing it would be scrapped?
What are you saying?
Why did you do it?
Why did you do this to me?
I went to Incheon.
I met Se Young too.
Se Young? Why did you see her?
In case she's my sister.
What gave you that idea?
Actually...
Someone's waiting for you at home.
Why are you here, Mr. Hwang?
To look around.
Help me out.
This won't get you anywhere.
My finances come from elsewhere.
Find out if Chairman Kang has any weaknesses.
His son was adopted.
This is...
