[♪ Theme music playing]

[♪ Melancholy music playing]

[♪ Eerie music playing]

Die, you bastard!

[suppressed gunshot]

[man] Of course you're having nightmares,

with that awful thing
stashed under your bed.

[breathing heavily]

[♪ Eerie music continues]

[♪ Music fades]

[♪ Melancholy music playing]

You're right.

Why are you even keeping that?

I know, right?

Even if you call it a trophy…

Or a symbol of victory,

it's dangerous.

And it doesn't suit you.

You were almost killed by those guns.

Get rid of them.

It's time to let me go too.

You won.

Did I win?

You won.

All that's left is…

To be happy with Eunnam now.

[sighs deeply]

FINAL EPISODE

[♪ sad music playing]

[♪ music fades]

[cashier] Welcome.

Would you like to order?

[♪ Suspenseful music playing]

[inaudible conversation]

Yes.

Yes, I understand, Assemblyman Nam.

[line disconnects]

Assemblyman Nam Sangcheol
said to wait and not worry.

He saw him get into the Elder's car

and saw him off
right outside the hospital.

It's been more than
enough time to go back and forth

from here to the hospital five times.

We should report it to the police.

Professor wouldn't like that, ma'am.

If something happens to him,
are you taking responsibility?

[Boyeon breathes heavily]

Wait, hold on…

[news anchor] It's been a month
since Professor Yeom Jangseon

of Hanguk University Law School vanished.

There have been no signs of life
or activity from Professor Yeom.

Prosecutors have suspended
the indictment against Professor Yeom.

It means the case is on hold
because the suspect or witness

can't be located.

Once they're found,
the investigation resumes.

And the decision to suspend the indictment

shows the prosecution's determination
to pursue the case.

[♪ Music fades]

You've worked hard, Vice-Chairman.

If it weren't for you,

we couldn't have overcome
the mess Yeom caused.

It was only possible because
you're still standing, Chairman.

With today's emergency
shareholders' meeting,

no issues with appointing Dongju
as CEO of Daesan Energy?

No, sir. Most of the expected shareholders
have already expressed support.

Even CEO Cha Gukhui backed down
after you stepped in,

so it all wrapped up smoothly.

We should've reined Gukhui in sooner.

Director Seo went through trouble
he didn't need to.

Visiting every institutional investor
one by one…

Not at all.

Competing with her actually helped me.

Is that so?

[both laughing]

What's the agenda
for this morning's meeting?

Right. It's the proposed merger between
Daesan Energy and Daesan Chemical.

What?

The idea is to integrate the two
and expand our business scope.

If we channel the combined strength

into Daesan Volt,
Daesan Energy's subsidiary,

I think we'll be able to take it public
within three years.

Mmm.

Bring me the detailed plan.

Yes, Chairman.

Gukhui's going to flip
when she hears about this.

I'll talk to her.

All right.

And there's one person who absolutely
needs to be at today's meeting.

Most shareholders have already confirmed.
Who else?

Yeom.

Professor Yeom Jangseon has been
out of contact for over a month…

Director Seo stopped Mr. Yeom from
snatching up Daesan Energy for free.

Now I just want to see
the look on his face

when Director Seo is named CEO.

I didn't expect him to be this petty.

Hiding out to dodge an investigation?

Rumors are flying, Chairman.

What rumors?

That his disappearance isn't staged.

Some say he may have been killed
since he had many enemies.

It's all over the internet.

[Gangcheon] Enemies?

No one's suffered more than Director Seo
because of Yeom.

Even after everything,
he was still holding back.

So who beat him to the punch?

[Gukhui] Professor Yeom Jangseon's absence
is a huge blow.

The shareholders who were backing me
have all switched to Seo Dongju.

Something must've happened to him.

Not hearing from him for a whole month?
That's not normal.

You don't think

he cut off contact with you

on purpose, do you?

What makes you say that?

Maybe he's switching sides.

From Cha Seonu…

To Huh Taeyun.

My brother-in-law, President Huh Ildo,

rose through the ranks at Daesan
thanks to Mr. Yeom's political backing.

And Taeyun…

He's President Huh's son.

Sure, Professor Yeom could change sides.

But once the chairman passes,

Seonu and I will inherit his shares

and become the largest shareholders
of Daesan Group.

Don't forget that.

[Eunnam] Aunt.

[Gukhui] Yes?

Why do you two look so sneaky?
Like you're plotting something.

We were just saying how great it is that
you're now on the board of Daesan Energy.

[Eunnam] Grandfather, you're not
gonna take back what you said, right?

In return,
you must help Seonu in the future.

That's the condition for putting you
on the board of Daesan Energy.

Plus, Director Seo gave you
a strong recommendation.

Eunnam, you've built up
a lot of hands-on experience.

It's time to take on
more responsibility as an executive.

Congrats, Eunnam.

DAESAN ENERGY CEO CANDIDATE
SEO DONGJU

[Munhan] Director Seo Dongju
has been appointed CEO of Daesan Energy,

with 94.6% of shareholders in favor.

[♪ Dramatic music playing]

Now, let's hear a few words
from our new CEO.

I'm Seo Dongju,
the newly appointed CEO of Daesan Energy.

First, I want to thank the shareholders
who supported my appointment.

Former President Huh Ildo

dedicated the last several years
to strengthening

our global competitiveness
through sustainable management.

To build on this vision
of sustainable management,

I plan to increase investment

in low-carbon, green innovation,
the direction Daesan Energy is aiming for.

I also want to talk
about business expansion.

Going forward, we'll work closely
with Daesan Group's energy affiliates

to align and strengthen our capabilities.

We'll start by

merging Daesan Energy and Daesan Chemical
to launch a new entity called Daesan E&C.

Furthermore, we'll boldly take
every step necessary to help Daesan Group

grow into
a leading global green energy company.

[♪ Music fades]

Ms. Cha.

I understand that the merger
may be unavoidable, but you can't just…

Bring up the merger so publicly...

Bringing it up publicly

will spark investor interest
in the stock market

around the merger potential.

That could lead

to a more favorable merger ratio
for Daesan Chemical.

Most importantly, Ms. Cha,

I hope you cut ties
with outside forces like Professor Yeom

and grow Daesan

with your own merits.

What do you mean, cut ties?

I never teamed up with Professor Yeom.

PROFESSOR YEOM JANGSEON
MISSING FOR ONE MONTH

[sighs deeply]

Congrats.

Congrats to Director Yeo too.

Thanks.

What is it?

What?

What do you want to ask me?

Is Mr. Yeom…

Dead?

Some say it was a staged disappearance.

And the vice-chairman said that
there are even posts online saying

he might've been murdered
since he had many enemies.

[Eunnam] Did you kill him?

Dongju.

What if I killed him?

Good job.

I understand.

No matter how many enemies Mr. Yeom has,
you're at the top of that list.

If anyone was going to kill him,
it should've been you.

Good job.

Good job.

You knew

I supported CEO Cha Gukhui,

so why did you take Director Seo's side?

Gukhui is a girl who tried to shine
like a son in the son less Cha family.

She never had
natural strength from the start,

so in the end,
her desperation always shows.

She's too weak
to look after Seonu down the line.

Part of it's my fault
she turned out that way.

For always wanting a son instead.

If you'd taken us in earlier,

you would've felt more secure with Seonu.

You might've been kinder
to Deokhui and Gukhui too.

Of course.

Deokhui was so fierce.

I've wasted all those years
walking on eggshells.

[knock on door]

[door opens]

[Gangcheon] Hey.

Here comes the one who pushed me
past my doubts about Deokhui.

I was discussing the merger
with CEO Cha Gukhui, Chairman.

Gukhui seemed pretty upset.

Yes. But I got her to promise
to continue the conversation.

Congratulations, Director Seo.

[Gangcheon] He's President Seo now.

President Seo.

Please guide me well.

When the chairman is gone
and it's just me and Seonu,

I don't want to be
a clueless major shareholder

who just holds inherited stock.

Seonu is still young.

So I want to be
the strongest support he has.

That's why

you encouraged
my marriage so actively, President Seo.

[door opens]

Dongju, you're here too.

Where were you?

Just looking around.

Even in restricted areas,

they let me through
when I said I was the chairman's son.

[laughs]

Dongju.

The secret vault they mentioned
on the news, it's real, right?

Daesan Group officials say
there's no such thing at all,

but I think it really exists.

If it does exist, that'd be so cool.

[Gangcheon laughing]

This kid…

He keeps up with everything.

[Gangcheon continues laughing]

Show him where it is.

Yes, Chairman.

[♪ Dramatic music playing]

Wow, this is so cool.

That's the vault.

Open it, Dongju.

Open it.

[♪ Music fades]

Father. I want to see inside the vault.

Please open it.

[Gangcheon] Right.

Just give him a peek.

Don't let him go inside.

Yes.

[♪ Dramatic music continues]

That's all money?

[Dongju] Don't go in.

You'll get in when the time's right.

[exhales]

[♪ Mysterious music playing]

Dongju.

When will I get to know
the vault password?

It's your father's. He will tell you.

[Gangcheon sighs]

- [Gangcheon] Seonu.
- Yes, Father.

[Gangcheon] To know the password,

you have to be capable
of leading Daesan Group.

Okay.

You're going to help Seonu
become someone truly capable, right?

Yes, Chairman.

[♪ Music fades]

[exhales]

[Deokhui] I've decided to back
Director Seo

for CEO at the upcoming
Daesan Energy shareholders' meeting.

I need you to support him too, Taeyun.

Mom.

Weren't you backing Aunt?

You matter far more to me than my sister.

I'd do anything for you, Taeyun.

So, Taeyun,

don't back down

and don't let Cha Seonu intimidate you.

Got it?

[Eunnam] I pretty much…

Stopped coming up here

after President Huh
chewed me out for pushing you

back when we were kids.

Did you really push me back then?

I probably wanted to.

Mom, President Huh, Grandfather,
even Secretary Gong…

They all only adored you.

Always fussing over "our precious son."

But…

Not this place. It's way too dangerous.

If I'd pushed you from here,
do you think you'd still be alive?

[sighs deeply]

I never pushed you.

[scoffs]

I know.

Then why did you act like
you remembered being pushed?

When we were little,

you screamed,

"You killed my dad, Mom!

You planned it with President Huh!"

Am I remembering it right?

You are.

But I misunderstood.

I twisted things
that I heard when I was little.

When Mom scolded me,
I said it to win the argument.

It's freezing out here.

I'm going in.

[♪ Eerie music playing]

[gasps]

- [Seonu] Shoot.
- [Taeyun breathes heavily]

You scared me! I pushed you as a joke,
but you actually almost fell.

Taeyun,

you should work on those legs.

[Seonu chuckles]

[♪ Music fades]

I could've come alone.
You didn't have to make time for this.

I had stuff to take care of too.

I'll fight the hospital that framed you
like it's my own case.

By the way, who recommended this place?

- Remember Dr. Park, who treated us?
- Yes.

He recommended this firm,
saying it has a great track record

with medical lawsuits.

That it may be a small firm,
but they're good at what they do.

If the picky doctor
vouched for them, I trust it.

But why isn't anyone coming?

[♪ Amusing music playing]

[sighs]

Don't tell me this bastard is…

Do you know him?

I'm Attorney Yeom Huicheol
from Law Firm Soyul.

Hello, I'm Bae Wonbae.

[Huicheol] Hey, punk.

Are you not leaving?

What a joke…
Can't you see I'm here as a client?

If you have a problem, you leave.

[Huicheol laughs incredulously]

- Mr. Bae Wonbae.
- Yes.

-I'm confident about this case,
-Yes.

But I can't work
with this punk in the same room.

A petty bastard until the end.

Hey, take your time.

- Dongju.
- I'll leave.

This is so messed up.

[Huicheol] Hey.

Take this.

Stuff it yourself.

What's wrong? Where are you going? Dongju…

[door opens]

Excuse me.

[door closes]

[Dongju] God damn it.

[Huicheol] Hey, punk.

What? You told me to leave, so I did.

Well…

Chief Cheon Guho said my uncle…

Never mind.

Asking you anything is useless.
You'd just throw attitude.

Forget it. Go.

How's Professor Yeom Chiseon these days?

What about my father?

Back when I got kicked out of school,

only your dad said it was mutual assault
and that we should be punished equally.

So I think of him from time to time.

If your uncle hadn't stepped in
and just let your dad handle it…

Maybe you wouldn't have turned out to be
such a pathetic loser. [clicks tongue]

- You little… I ought to!
- What?

Fair point.

Hey.

I can keep this from leading to an arrest.
So don't follow Mr. Bae around.

Just seeing your damn face
ruins my luck for the next ten years.

Go.

You two start cursing each other out
the second you meet.

We're both pretty committed
when it comes to insults.

That bastard Yeom Huicheol
is so eager to one-up me,

so I'm sure he'll get you cleared.

He does seem calm and competent.

- Should I drop you off at the office?
- Yes.

I wanted to take the day off
to at least grab a meal with you…

Yeom Jangseon's disappearance,

was it your doing, Dongju?

[knock on door]

Chairman.

[door closes]

I'm here to report on
the Daesan Energy purchase.

I'm here to update on the merger progress.

He called earlier, scolding me
about my report being late.

Where did he go?

The chairman said he had somewhere to go.

He drove himself.

I think I know where he went.
Let's go, Eunnam.

[♪ Mellow music playing]

Isn't it better
to call the police right now?

If we keep going, we'll spot his car soon.

That's crazy.
I've never even seen Grandfather drive.

Let's just call the police
and ask them to track his car.

Wait! That's his car up ahead!

He's probably in the best mood right now.
Let's not ruin it.

Why's he driving so well?

Because he's excited.

He always drove
all the way out here by himself?

Even when he brought me here,
he wouldn't let me drive.

How long is he planning to wait?

Until Seonu
walks out with the bread he just baked.

Until Ms. Ji acts like
she doesn't know the chairman.

Grandfather saw us.

We locked eyes.

[sighs in frustration]

- Director Seo.
- Yes.

You can drive.

Yes, sir.

And you can get the bill. For everything.

[news anchor] It's now been a year since
Professor Yeom Jangseon went missing.

According to police,
a petition from his family

has led to the reward being tripled.

With rumors of it being real or staged,

interest in the case
has faded over the past year,

prompting the family to raise the reward
in hopes of finding him.

Last December, Professor Yeom Jangseon
was indicted for instigating murder,

but the court rejected the arrest warrant,
citing no clear risk

of evidence tampering or flight.

But the dismissal of the warrant…

[♪ Solemn music playing]

PRESIDENT SEO DONGJU

[knock on door]

I'm late again.

I was trying to beat you in today.

Where's President Seo?

- He's here.
- [vault lock clicks]

[Dongju] You're here.

Is the Daesan Volt
R&D team fully staffed yet?

Still adjusting salary offers.

We got the attendee list
for the Yuseong Chemical merger hearing.

Since we're doing this without
any political interference like Mr. Yeom,

it might take time…

We just need to be patient.

Ever since you became CEO of Daesan Volt,

your expression during meetings with me
has improved.

Maybe I'm in a better mood
now that Daesan Volt might go public.

So, have you given up on pushing me out
and taking over as CEO of Daesan E&C?

I'm still gunning for it.
Every minute, every second…

Just waiting for you to slip up.

[chuckles]

[Boyeon] Chief Cheon.

As of today, you're dismissed.

I've included a generous severance
and retirement package.

- Ma'am…
- Every day for a year…

Even if

Professor Yeom returns,

he won't hold it against you.

[♪ Somber music playing]

Ma'am. We must keep searching for him.

[Boyeon] Chief Cheon.

When people his age

live past a certain point,

it's just borrowed time.

The professor…

lived enough.

Then why did you raise the reward?

Because people are watching.

People need to know his family's still…

Waiting for him.

If he's alive…

[chuckles]

Seeing that reward go up
might give him the will to return.

[sighs]

I won't ask you to come by again.

I just wanted

to feed you once.

Thanks for eating so well,
just like you used to.

Even when you were a kid,
you liked pollack soup like a grown-up.

[exhales]

Did I?

Maybe I like it

because I had it here when I was little.

The reason…

I ignored you all this time…

It wasn't
because the professor told me to.

When I heard
you were raised with your nun sister,

I thought I'd just let you live your life.

No need to stir things up
by acting familiar.

There was some training

and no one to watch the kid.

So Professor Yeom
brought you and your mom here.

You loved

this hanok house.

Even when I came back as an adult,

I loved it.

You said you'd go see your dad
when your mom came back.

You wondered if your dad
would recognize you, what he'd look like,

what he did for a living,

and what candy he liked…

We'd play games, making up answers.

[♪ Melancholy music playing]

[sighs deeply]

I never imagined…

It'd take that long
for you to meet your father.

[exhales]

[Jangseon] In the end, you're just another
goldfish eagerly opening its mouth,

desperate for every scrap
of food tossed its way.

No matter how high you climb,

the best you can hope for
is being the first in line to get fed.

That's where your story ends.

[Boyeon] Director Seo.

[Boyeon chuckles]

Yes.

This is the last of our tea leaves.

We're moving, so I didn't stock up.

I'm turning this place
into a kindergarten.

"Kindergarten of Overflow."

A kindergarten
overflowing with clear water.

To me,

this house was at its brightest

when you, Seonghyeon,
were running around here.

So I want to fill it
with more kids like you back then.

[Boyeon chuckles]

Ah.

Here's the photo
you were meant to come back for.

I'm finally giving it to you.

It's us.

The day we took this,
you held your mom's hand and said…

- Mom.
- Yes?

Let's come back tomorrow.

[Boyeon] "Let's come back tomorrow."

I remember it so vividly.

Do you remember your mom?

Not at all.

Seonghyeon…

I mean, Director Seo.

Your mother cherished and treasured you.

I want to tell you everything
I saw and heard.

But there's no time
to tell you everything.

There's one thing

I want you to remember.

While raising you alone,

she was so desperate for money,

she almost took the wrong path.

But when she thought of you,
she caught herself and declined the offer.

You were a son

to a mother like that.

When life gets hard,

I hope you'll remember
the mother I told you about…

And keep going, Director Seo.

I will.

[♪ Music fades]

[keypad beeping]

[vault lock thuds]

[outer door slides shut]

[window opens]

[♪ Intense music playing]

Seo Dongju, you bastard.

[groans]

[strains]

[chains clinking]

[Jangseon] What…

[Jangseon mumbling]

You woke up earlier than expected.

You bastard…

You bastard…

[Jangseon grunting]

There's a bathroom behind that curtain.

It was a hassle to get it installed,
so make good use of it.

You'll get burgers for meals.

I'll sometimes get you some fruits.

For water,
you can use the tap water from the sink.

I installed a pull-up bar inside,
so stay in shape.

And the temperature and humidity
are kept constant, so it might feel cold.

I recommend you take one of the jackets

prepared in the bathroom.

You crazy bastard. What the hell is this?

It's me locking you up in Daesan's vault.

You gave me the chance
earlier than I planned,

so I had to act sooner.

What are you trying to do

by locking me up?

What do you want?

[♪ Melancholy song playing]

Just tell me!

What do you want?

Hey!

[♪ Song fades]

It's a hanbok.

I was invited to
House of Overflow for a meal recently.

Being there

reminded me of when you used
to wear hanbok, so I brought one for you.

You must've met my wife.

Seo Dongju.

You're not planning
to keep me here until I die.

Just tell me what you want.

Lying in bed last night,

this thought hit me.

I'm the only one
who knows the code to this vault.

So if I die,

Yeom Jangseon would rot away
in this vault and die a mummified corpse.

Is that what you want?

If it were,
I wouldn't bring you burgers every day.

So what?

[sighs deeply]

What do you want?

You're not ready yet.

Until the day you beg me
a little more desperately,

I'll wait.

It's money that you want, isn't it?

You said
my life wasn't even worth killing.

Remember that tall building
where you got waterboarded?

I'll give it to you, so let me go.

A year in here is enough time served.

- [clicks tongue]
- Hey, you bastard!

What do you want?

Tell me.

How much do you want?

Everything.

What?

Everything of what?

Your entire fortune.

You're really pushing it now.

[Dongju] He's the one who shot me.

If he shot you,
you should've just let him drown.

Why did you save him?

To get my revenge.

In that brief moment,
my goal to get revenge became clear.

It's never changed since.

I'm going to take everything

Huh Ildo and Yeom Jangseon ever had,
down to the last piece.

I'd rather bite my tongue and die here
than hand it all over to you.

Then you'll walk away with nothing.

That wouldn't be so bad either.

[sighs]

Pray I don't get into an accident
and that I keep bringing you burgers.

If you don't want to starve to death.

You're the cruelest,
most vicious bastard I've ever met.

[scoffs]

[door closes]

Hey!

I'd rather die at home.

What do I have to do?

What made you reach out first?

[Dongju] Sir.

Now I can't hand over a single penny
from the National Patriotism Fund.

You're saying you'll keep…

The two trillion won for yourself?

Yes.

[♪ Tense music playing]

Don't worry.

It'll be put to far better use
than serving you.

On Yeom Jangseon's computer,

he had your crimes,
and those of everyone connected to you,

neatly organized.

And I hacked it
and handed it to someone else.

NATIONAL PATRIOTISM FUND
TRANSACTION HISTORY

[sighs deeply]

Jangseon, that bastard…

If you threaten me or Daesan Group,

your corruption will be
exposed to the world.

[exhales]

Can I ask you

an important question?

You strike me

as someone who believes

in serving the people

with sincerity, not with money.

What happened to you?

[♪ Music fades]

I handed everything over
to Jeil Real Estate Trust.

All the properties Yeom Jangseon donated.
Sales, leases, even mortgage loans.

They said they'll handle each one
in the most reasonable way.

DONATOR YEOM JANGSEON

But Dongju,

how did you get Yeom Jangseon
to sign over his entire fortune?

Okay. Talk to you later, then.

[line disconnects]

He doesn't want to talk about it.

[sighs]

I shouldn't have asked.

[teacher] Let's go home.

- [child 1] Let's go home!
- [child 2] We're going home!

Hey, give me the cab fare already.

Just hold on. I will pay you.

Seriously, I came all the way here.

What are you, a beggar or something?

I'm…

Yeom Jangseon.

Dongju.

Yes, Taeyun.

Are you okay?

You look unwell.

I'm just feeling tired.

Have a seat.

What brings you here?

Dongju.

It's been half a year
since I started working at Daesan Volt.

[Dongju] Yeah.

I feel like it's not the right fit for me.

That's understandable.

But, Taeyun,

you know

better than anyone
how much President Huh wanted you

to settle in at Daesan.

Just hang in there a little longer.

If it still doesn't feel right

and you make your decision,

I'll fully support it.

[♪ Serene music playing]

[phone vibrating]

- Excuse me.
- Sure.

Yes, Grandfather.

Yes.

Right.

Yes, got it.

He said he couldn't reach you.

I was going to call him later.

Wait, Taeyun.

The chairman just recognized you.

You know he has days
when he recognizes me.

He told me to find you and bring you over.

[Jeongja] Please hurry.

[sighs]

The chairman said
he'd eat once you got here,

so everyone's waiting.

Okay.

Chairman, I'm here.

Yes, President Seo.

Sit down and eat.

Okay.

You must be…

Taeyun.

Right?

Your father is…

Huh Ildo.

My daughter Deokhui is your mom.

Yes, she's right here.

Honey, you recognized me this morning too.

You're doing great today.

Father, Taeyun is working at Daesan Volt.

[Gangcheon] Really?

Good for him to learn
under his tough aunt.

Father, today you even remember Gukhui.

[Gangcheon chuckles]

Father. Who am I?

You're the eldest grandson of
Daesan Group's founder, Cha Daebok,

and my son, Cha Seonu. [chuckles]

Chef Do.

Yes, Chairman.

President Seo's soup must've gone cold.
Bring him a fresh one.

- Yes, sir.
- Okay.

[♪ Music fades]

Have some of this.

Secretary Gong.

Do you perhaps…

The chairman scolded you

for showing up without a tie, right?

Yes, I rushed out and
didn't even realize I wasn't wearing one.

Thank you.

Our sharp Secretary Gong grabbed a tie
the moment she saw you.

- [Jaok laughs]
- [Jaepil] Gosh.

When I start my own place,

I'm going to wear a tie
in the kitchen too. [chuckles]

To honor the chairman.

Secretary Gong.

I think Chef Do wants a raise.

When did I say that? I just…

The chairman

doesn't recognize me or Ms. Kaesong,
but he always recognizes Chef Do.

I figured that alone…

Was reason enough…

To give him a raise.

Secretary Gong…

- Oh, my, honey. This is great!
- [Jaepil laughing]

[Jaok laughs]

Say that again.

Because of what you and Dad did,
I can barely breathe.

Mom.

If this keeps up, your beloved son…

Might just die.

Don't you dare talk about dying!

[breath trembling]

[♪ Somber music playing]

Mom.

Every time you see Eunnam

and every time you face Dongju…

I know how hard
you fight to keep it together.

- And it's because of me.
- It is because of you!

[inhales sharply]

To me,

you're the reason to live, Taeyun.

You hear me?

Mom.

Let's leave this house, leave Daesan.

To somewhere far away.

Let's live where no one knows us.

Taeyun!

Get a hold of yourself.

Learn everything you can at Daesan Volt.

You're going to keep moving forward
until you become its CEO.

I'll clear any obstacles
in your way for you.

That's my job now,
since your dad's not here.

Mom…

It's okay to whine like this
once in a while.

I'm sorry I hit you, my son.

[Deokhui breathes shakily, sniffles]

I've come…

Too far to turn back.

[Deokhui sniffles]

And…

The end's in sight.

Why would you walk away?

Only fools would do that, Taeyun.

Got it? Okay?

[sniffles, exhales]

[♪ Music fades]

So once we bring in Yuseong Chemical…

What was it again? Daesan…

Daesan Energy.

Right. Daesan Energy
will grow several times over.

Yes, Chairman.

Director Yeo Eunnam
will handle the merger well.

[Gangcheon laughs]

Right.

You didn't forget.

It's fine. Just give it to me.

The flavor of a lollipop starts
when you unwrap it.

[Gangcheon chuckles]

Mm.

I should promote Huh Ildo
to vice-chairman.

[♪ Somber music playing]

Gather feedback
on Huh Ildo from the subsidiaries.

Yes, Chairman.

[Dongju] Chairman,

I'll be taking some time off soon.

It'll be longer…

Than last time.

What?

Do you want the lollipop?

No, sir.

[♪ Music fades]

INNER SAFE

So, Chairman Cha Daebok
and Chairman Cha Gangcheon,

then you,

and now I'm the fourth person
to know this code?

Yeah.

That's a lot of pressure.

The chairman said

only someone
capable of leading Daesan should know it.

Then it shouldn't be me.

Since Daesan E&C merged
with Yuseong Chemical,

the stock's been climbing nonstop.

That's because you made bold decisions
and saved it

every time the merger
was about to fall apart.

Eunnam.

You're capable enough
to know the vault code.

You praising me
makes me believe it might be true.

Wait.

You're not leaving Daesan, are you?

You're not, right?

Right?

Don't leave, Dongju.

I took what Yeom Jangseon cared about most

and let him live.

That's what I wanted.

Then that's a good thing, isn't it?

Do you think so?

I don't even know what's wrong anymore.

So I'm going to leave to find the answer.

[car honks]

I want to drive you.

If you say no, I won't let you leave.

[♪ Mellow song playing]

[♪ Song fades]

Have a good trip.

Dongju!

[♪ Dramatic song playing]

[♪ Song fades]

- [Seonu] Again.
- [camera shutter clicks]

[Seonu sighs]

How was studying business?

It was a bit tough.

All I'd done was play violin,
so it was like starting from scratch.

[Seonu] Mmm.

I've only been riding bikes
and just starting it too.

We're the same, nephew.

I'll get another coffee. Do you want more?

[Seonu] Come on, I'm younger,
so let me do it, nephew.

DONGJU

[reporter] There he is!

- [light thud]
- [gasps]

[♪ Sinister music playing]

[crow squawking]

[phone vibrating]

JI SEONU

[Taeyun] Dongju,
I heard you took some time off.

I'm talking to Seonu
about business school.

The more I know him, the more he seems
like a better fit for Daesan.

[♪ Sad song playing]

[Ildo] When I die of old age someday,

scatter my ashes over the sea
right where you saved me.

When I die,

I want to repent there.

[♪ Melancholy song playing]

Buried Hearts

- [Seonu] Father.
- [Gangcheon] Yeah.

[Eunnam] Dongju.

You don't have to come back for good.

Just come take a break.
