Congressman, I'll come to the office.
Please meet with me.
Hello? Hello?
Boss.
I have something to tell you.
Get out of my face!
Oh Jeong Tae knows everything.
He knows that we used to pick pockets.
What?
The bag we stole from a family fleeing the war.
Were there gold bars inside?
What nonsense is that? What gold bars?
There were gold bars in the bag the pocket watch came from.
Jeong Tae knows we stole that bag.
What? How does he know?
That bag of gold...
belonged to Jeong Hoon and Jeong Tae's family.
You can leave, Mr. Jo.
I said Oh Jeong Tae knows everything.
I have no idea what you're talking about.
Pardon?
You... Why are you here?
I'd like to speak with Jeong Tae. You can leave for now.
Yes, bo...
Yes, sir.
I don't know what Mr. Jo is on about.
Can you explain?
Don't you know already?
Mr. Jo talked about a bag of gold bars.
A bag of gold bars?
I don't know what that is.
Then what about this?
What's that?
The pocket watch that was inside...
the bag of gold you and Mr. Jo stole.
The English initials engraved inside...
are my father's.
Now do you get it?
The bag of gold that you stole belonged to my family.
Watch what you say. I stole a bag?
How dare you make things up?
Ax told me everything.
About your past.
Who is Ax?
I don't know anyone like that.
I know that...
you met him a few days ago.
I don't know. I have no idea what this is about.
The man who stole our bag had a mole on his hand.
In that bag was gold bars, everything our family owned.
This pocket watch was also inside it.
But...
Mr. Jo happened to have this watch.
You know there's a mole on his hand.
I don't know if Mr. Jo stole the bag,
but it had nothing to do with me.
Mr. Jo didn't steal it on his own.
There was another man,
someone other than him.
That man...
was you.
You dare slander me without evidence?
You bought land with gold. Isn't that evidence?
After the war,
you bought land and then got into construction,
and I know you bought the land with gold.
What?
Also,
to cover up your past,
the manslaughter that Mr. Jo committed.
You framed me for it!
What are you talking about? Why would I frame you?
Reveal the truth.
What?
Everything you said just now had nothing to do with me.
If you deny the truth,
I'll have to tell the world everything I know.
Do you want that?
How dare you?
I'll give you time to think.
Jeong Hoon.
Does he know?
Why are you here?
Because of the campaign rally.
If you're here to see Mr. Hwang, come back later.
He's with a guest. That's why I'm waiting outside.
A guest?
Come back later.
I need to see him first.
How much does Jeong Hoon know?
Nothing yet.
But he should soon.
You'd better not tell Jeong Hoon.
Do you know how damning the involvement system is?
You must know that's why...
the judicial institute refused to accept him at the last minute.
I just found out that...
your father defected and your family's guilty by association.
It came up in my background check.
How dare he...
hide that and marry my daughter?
It wasn't just Jeong Hoon. Your whole family duped me.
Because of you all, I might lose my candidacy.
Do you think I'll go down alone?
What do you think will happen to Jeong Hoon?
The success that...
he enjoyed thanks to me will disappear in a second.
Unless you want to see that happen, keep quiet.
I'm the only one who can save your brother.
What do you mean?
You can save him?
I'll do what I can to cover up your father's defection,
so keep quiet.
Do you get that?
Boss, what happened? Did Jeong Tae...
Boss.
Where's Ax?
We dealt with him.
Are you sure?
Yes, boss.
What should I do about Jeong Tae?
He knows that we stole the bag...
Shut your mouth.
Watch what you say.
Don't worry.
What did you tell him that he left...
looking so dejected?
You don't need to know.
Keep a close eye on him.
If he does anything strange, report to me right away.
Do you get that?
Yes, boss.
(Oh Jeong Hoon, Planning Director)
Come in.
Jeong Tae.
Jeong Hoon.
What is it?
What's wrong? You look...
Mr. Hwang...
knows our dad defected.
You know that?
Yes.
Your father-in-law just told me.
You're the guest Mr. Jo said was inside?
Why were you there and why was Mr. Jo outside?
That's not important.
What happens to you now?
I don't know.
I was scared I'd lose everything because of Dad's defection.
So I ran away.
I think it's over.
It's not over! We can't give in like this!
Jeong Tae.
Why are you here?
Don't talk too long.
Did you see Mr. Hwang?
What is it? Is something wrong?
Mr. Han, you know we have a meeting.
Yes, sir.
I have to go inside. Shall we meet after work?
Okay. Go on inside.
Come in.
What is it?
Why was my brother here?
He didn't...
tell you why?
He only asked about the involvement system.
He refused to be Head of Supplies.
How dare you?
You deceived me and married Mi Jin.
You lost everything because your father defected...
and used Mi Jin and me?
I apologize.
I'm so sorry that what I did is causing you trouble too.
I'll accept whatever you decide to do with me.
I need time to think. Leave for now.
I don't want to see you so get out!
Mr. Kim, it's Hwang Chang Shik.
Put me through to Congressman Oh.
I know you can talk to him for me.
Hello? Mr. Kim.
Mr. Kim?
How dare he?
Ms. Cheon, can you watch the store while I make a delivery?
- Sure, go ahead. - Okay.
Ms. Hwang, I'm off to Gahoe-dong to make a delivery.
Okay, go.
You're still here?
Where did you go?
- To Sohyun-dong? - Yes.
Uhm Soon Young was there and so was Jeong Hoon.
You saw them both there? What's wrong with them?
Did they agree to meet there?
Soon Young wanted the baby back.
And? Did she take him?
I don't know. Jeong Hoon dragged me outside so I don't know.
It's all the old woman's fault.
It happened because she kept going on about registering...
her blood with her family.
Leave it to your dad.
He's the only person who can solve this.
Do you think Dad has a way when the old woman's adamant?
That's why we should leave it to him.
What can't your father do if he sets his mind to it?
If Jeong Hoon...
hadn't been stumped because he was guilty by association,
he wouldn't have married Mi Jin.
When Mr. Hwang offered to help with Jeong Tae's case,
we agreed to let Jeong Hoon move in and I regret making that decision.
If Mi Jin acts like that here, in front of her in-laws,
how do you think she is at home?
What do you think Jeong Hoon has to put up with over there?
Will you stop it?
What can we do about it now?
I should just die. I should die so I don't have to watch all this.
Is Jeong Hoon's wife gone?
Is anyone home?
Min Su. Where are Jeong Hoon's mother and grandmother?
Why do you have Min Su?
I was just watching him for a while.
Is no one at home?
Ms. Hong and Ms. Lee should be in.
- Gosh. - Why are you here?
Give him to me.
- Oh dear. - Was Soon Young here?
She didn't go home?
I left before she did.
Did she come here and cry for Min Su?
You can't give him back to her, whatever she does.
We're breaking her heart and I'm not sure what to do.
Do what you can to make her change her mind.
Right now it'll feel like she can't live without him,
but think about his future.
I'll deal with all that.
What about your in-laws?
They all know that Min Su's here.
They must be kicking up a fuss.
To be honest, I'm scared of them.
You're scared?
Why do you think Soon Young took Min Su to an island?
Jeong Hoon's father-in-law said that if she didn't disappear,
he'd have no choice but to deal with Min Su.
What?
"To deal with him"?
That's why she ran away.
To tell the truth, ever since I dropped Min Su off,
I've been afraid of what they'd do.
I need you both to protect Min Su.
Okay?
My goodness.
How could he say something so terrible about a baby?
Take good care of our Min Su.
Even if Soon Young asks for him, don't give him to her.
I should go now.
Soon Young.
What are you doing?
Look at this cold sweat. Soon Young.
Min Su.
Min Su. Bring Min Su to me.
You silly thing.
You just need to be determined.
You were like this when Jeong Hoon left you too.
Fine.
You might feel better when this blows over.
Did you find Se Ra a stylist and makeup artist?
Yes. I sent them the script so they'll work on her look.
Okay.
Se Ra, can we talk?
We found you a stylist and makeup artist.
Meet up with them.
Okay.
Are you still angry with me?
Don't get me wrong.
I didn't tell about the baby to get Jeong Hoon in trouble...
I know. You told because you were worried for Mi Jin.
Yes. Because she's like a sister to me.
I didn't want to cause a problem. I wanted them to work through it.
Even so, I think you should've let Jeong Hoon bring it up.
You're still angry.
I'll leave now.
Cha Sang Pil speaking.
Yes, Uncle.
Why did you want to see me?
Sit down.
You visit Jeong Hoon's family, don't you?
- What do you know about them? - Pardon?
Tell me what you know.
You're close to Se Ra, Jeong Hoon's younger sister.
She must've told you about her family.
They're poor now,
but I heard they used to be very rich.
Really?
I also heard they lost everything during the war.
- They lost everything? - Yes.
May I ask why you're suddenly asking me such things?
You could ask Jeong Hoon.
Forget about that.
- How much cash can you make? - Pardon?
Other than what I gave you to keep, how much more can you make?
Why do you ask?
Is it for the campaign?
Bring me as much as you can make.
If need be, I'll sell your company.
Uncle.
That's all. You can go now.
Why are you doing this?
Is there a problem with your campaign?
It's a headache so stop asking questions and get to it.
I told you to leave.
You postponed the meeting. Is something wrong?
Jeong Tae was here. Did you talk to him?
What's the matter?
Let's talk later.
Is there a problem with my uncle's campaign?
I'm asking if you know something.
I don't.
If you don't know,
why does my uncle need cash so much that he wants to sell my company?
- What? - You really don't know?
No.
If it's to help him,
I'll do my best to gather the cash,
but shouldn't Daeguk put up as much as well?
You should take the initiative when it comes to helping my uncle.
Don't you think?
Did you talk to Mr. Hwang?
Did he really become that rich by stealing from Jeong Tae's family?
Shut your mouth unless you want to die.
Okay?
You still haven't found Ax?
Jeong Tae smuggled him out. How are we to find him?
What? Do you call that an excuse?
What are you up to? Why did you come here?
- To work. - What?
You stabbed me in the back and you want to work for me?
I don't need you. Get lost!
When you hired me, didn't you say you'd make me CEO?
I'll work for you until I do.
What? Oh Jeong Tae!
Do anything it takes to find Ax.
And keep a close eye on Jeong Tae, okay?
Okay.
Jeong Tae.
Why did you come over?
Jeong Hoon looked stressed out too.
Did you tell him about Mr. Hwang?
I met Mr. Hwang.
- My CEO? - Yes.
And? Did you tell him everything you know?
I thought I could take care of it.
What do you mean?
The fact that Mr. Hwang stole everything our family had,
and to protect Mr. Jo,
he framed me for manslaughter.
I thought I could reveal it all.
Did he not admit to anything?
Did you show him the pocket watch?
What about what Ax told you? About how he paid for land in gold.
I told him everything but...
he denied it all and shut me up.
What do you mean he shut you up?
The judicial institute dropped Jeong Hoon because our dad defected.
He knew.
What?
Dad's name is on the list of defectors,
so we're guilty by association, and he threatened me with it.
He could lose his candidacy because our family duped him.
He countered me with that.
And...
unless I want to see Jeong Hoon crumble,
I'm to shut my mouth.
He blackmailed you instead?
Jeong Hoon married Mi Jin as a means of survival.
The judicial institute had dropped him...
and he couldn't find work.
If word gets out again,
he'll end up going over the cliff.
So Mr. Hwang told you to keep quiet...
about everything he did?
Yes.
Then he'll cover this up.
I'm not to tell Jeong Hoon anything.
How? How will he cover it up?
I don't know.
Mr. Hwang could try to get rid of Jeong Hoon.
He'll do anything he can to keep his candidacy.
He would.
We can only wait and see...
what he does to Jeong Hoon.
Jeong Hoon, did you come by to see Min Su?
Yes.
What will you do with him? Will you not give him back?
Go on inside. I should go.
Jeong Hoon.
I'm home.
Be quiet. Min Su's about to fall asleep.
Did Jeong Hoon see Min Su?
What do you mean? You saw Jeong Hoon?
He didn't come in?
I saw him outside.
He said he saw Min Su.
- What? - Jeong Hoon was here?
Did you see your brother?
No. Why ask?
Bok Shil said she saw him out here...
but he didn't come in. What's going on?
What is going on?
Why would he come here and not come inside?
He's gone. Go back inside.
Is something wrong?
What do you know?
Nothing's wrong. Maybe he left because it was too late.
Even so,
how could he not come in?
I'm the only one who can save your brother.
I'll do what I can to cover up your father's defection,
so keep quiet.
Do you get that?
What do you want to say?
Mi Jin.
Don't you want a divorce?
A divorce?
Why suggest that all of a sudden?
I just want to ask what you think.
How would you feel if Jeong Hoon's family insists on raising his son?
I won't divorce Jeong Hoon.
I need you to sort this out for me.
Jeong Hoon said he'll send the baby back.
He can't because of his stubborn grandma.
So...
I need you to do whatever you can to solve this problem.
Dad. I don't want to divorce Jeong Hoon.
Okay then. I get it.
What did you two
talk about? You don't need to know.
Uncle, can we have a chat?
You just have to do as I say.
What did he say to you in the study?
I'll tell you later.
Is the baby still with your grandma?
It still is.
Why won't you send the baby back?
Will you keep him there?
I'm tired. Let's talk another time.
Dad asked if I want to divorce you.
He even glared at you in an unforgiving way.
He disapproves of you.
He hates you because you're upsetting me with your baby.
You gain nothing from upsetting him.
Send the baby back right away, okay?
3, 4.
1, 2.
- Hey. - Sang Man.
Will Jeong Hoon's family raise his son?
I wouldn't know.
It looks like Ms. Hong...
wants to register him as Jeong Tae's son and keep him,
but isn't it up to Jeong Hoon and his wife?
What did Jeong Tae do to deserve this?
Who'd want to marry him if it looks like he has a kid?
You don't have to worry about that.
There is someone who wants to marry him.
Forget about him for a second.
Choon Ja, why did you break up with your boyfriend?
I think you kicked a blessing that was hurtling right towards you.
He likes you, has a good job and seemed decent.
You'll never find another man like him.
Am I wrong, Mr. Kim?
Did I say you are?
I think we lost out whenever I think of how she treated Tae Shik.
Don't worry, Dad.
I'll bring home someone much nicer than him.
You just go to work.
My goodness.
Congressman Oh, if I can keep my candidacy,
I'll do anything I can for the party.
Please cover up my son-in-law's guilty by association charge.
Please, sir.
You'll do anything?
Would you give up your company?
If it's what you want, I'm willing to do anything.
You're quiet determined.
Spare me some time, sir.
I'd like to discuss this with you in person.
Yes. Thank you.
See you later.
Oh Jeong Hoon speaking.
You're coming somewhere with me right now.
Okay.
- Congressman Oh. - Let's all sit down.
I'm so sorry...
to have caused you trouble.
Why did you bring your son-in-law?
Sir, do what you can to cover up...
the guilty by association charge that's against him.
Why are you on your knees?
As you know,
he has a bright future ahead.
He could do great things for our country.
If I lose my candidacy,
I'll blame that on my carelessness.
But I can't watch him lose everything.
Please save my son-in-law, Congressman.
Don't just sit there.
Do you know how much trouble you got him into?
If you can help him,
I can give you...
everything I own.
You love your son-in-law too much.
I can't ignore your plight.
Very well.
I'll see what I can do for your sake.
Thank you. Thank you, sir.
Come in.
You asked to see me?
I'll pretend I didn't hear the nonsense you spewed yesterday.
I can't stand what you did,
but your brother's already my son-in-law.
No father can watch their child lose everything.
I'll do what I can to cover up his guilty by association charge.
You'd better not think of mentioning yesterday's nonsense again.
Okay?
If I cover up the past that I know of,
will you clear my brother of his?
Can you promise?
I don't know what past you say you know about,
but I promise.
I want to save my son-in-law.
Okay then.
If you promise,
I'll keep quiet.
The world works in my favor.
Who'd have thought the involvement system would save me?
If I lose my candidacy,
I'll blame that on my carelessness.
But I can't watch him lose everything.
Please save my son-in-law, Congressman.
Father.
Jeong Hoon.
I found a way to save you.
Move abroad with Mi Jin.
- Pardon? - Until all this blows over,
leave the country.
(Through the Waves)
- Let him go. - Right.
- You... - It's you.
Your whole life could crumble.
I want to ask you about Oh Se Ra.
You need to join Daeguk Construction.
It's all because of that baby.
He's going abroad? Because of Min Su?
- Isn't this Dad's watch? - Can I just wait?
Are you not hiding anything?
Your brother doesn't object to your moving abroad?
That means my company just disappears.
Do you want to blame me for that?
Is all this because of the bag of gold bars?
