Hey, Guho.

Throw this bastard off the roof.

MA JAEYEOL TV

He's still alive though.

So why involve your friend in exposing the Dandelion to embarrass me?

You swallowed

two trillion won from the National Patriotism Fund

and sacrificed your sister just to keep it.

Who the hell gives up their sister for money?

You're the one who killed her!

If you had given the money back, I wouldn't have had to!

MA JAEYEOL TV

DANDELION FILES OBTAINED EXCLUSIVELY UNCOVERING THE TRUTH ABOUT YEOM JANGSEON!

The Dandelion files you burned, that was plan A.

And Ma Jaeyeol TV is plan B, sir.

What are you trying to do, Director Seo?

Your video confession about instigating murder

will begin circulating online from now on.

I wonder if you'll still be able to hold your head high then.

A handful of people gossiping, whom you've written off as fools,

is nothing like a video that spreads endlessly online, sir.

A confession without evidence?

Don't you know I can just say

that I got tricked, got emotional, and blurted out nonsense?

How foolish.

People are way more interested

in whose head that two trillion won is sitting in.

I guess.

Thanks to you

labeling me as the guy who stole the National Patriotism Fund,

now the whole world's watching me.

If I suddenly disappear or turn up dead,

the whole world will assume it was your doing.

The Elder called personally.

I'll have the car ready.

EPISODE 15

Thanks to the little stunt you pulled today,

we both have some mess to clean up.

But I'll get through it just fine.

I'm worried about you.

Why did you kill President Huh?

Are you asking for round two?

No cameras. No recordings.

I'm asking because I genuinely want to know.

You and President Huh...

You two go way back.

Why did you kill him?

He got too cocky.

There's not a single thing

Huh Ildo got at Daesan that wasn't thanks to me.

I had the master plan for the future.

I gave the orders.

Huh Ildo just followed them like a servant.

He was my hands and feet.

He obeyed so well.

I gave him shade in the scorching sun,

let him warm up in the storm,

even let him sit at the same table.

And he actually started thinking...

he was my equal.

He dared...

to tell me to step away from Daesan.

If you ask me,

the thoughtless comment that got your father killed?

It all started with you, Dongju.

If you hadn't shaken your father,

he would've never...

even thought of saying something like that.

Dongju.

Your father died because of you.

Other than this cost-free repentance,

was there really nothing good for you?

Deciding to break free from Yeom Jangseon and finally stand up to him.

Ever since I got caught in college

and gave up my friends' names, this is the first time

I've stood up to Yeom Jangseon.

Are you smiling?

You're right.

My father died because of me, Mr. Yeom Jangseon.

No, I'm not eating.

I'm really not hungry, Secretary Gong.

I've gained weight since moving here.

Okay.

Okay.

Who the hell gives up their sister for money?

You're the one who killed her!

If you had given the money... Dongju?

Who do you think your sister blames in the afterlife?

Me or you, the greedy bastard?

Mom, Father!

What's wrong, Seonu?

Look at this.

No backups, right, Director Seo?

...two trillion won from... So...

Dongju stole two million...

No, two trillion won and someone killed his sister over it!

She was no different than a stranger.

Who the hell gives up their sister for money?

You're the one who killed her!

If you had given the money back, I wouldn't have had to!

Who do you think your sister blames in the afterlife?

Me or you, the greedy bastard?

What did you just say?

How's Ilnam?

He almost didn't make it.

His body's covered in trauma from the beating.

It's very serious.

He should be groaning

and crying out in pain, but he's holding it all in.

One person came in with a gunshot wound.

Now another's beaten half to death.

What are you going to do?

Let Mr. Bae go.

His life is already hard as it is.

Are you okay?

Yes, I'm fine.

Is your leg broken?

I'm fine.

That meddlesome Dr. Park, he's talking nonsense.

If it hurts,

just scream out loud instead of holding it in.

I was given a shot.

I'll be fine.

I'm sorry.

The video Mr. Ma uploaded,

I saw it.

I really wanted to see Yeom Jangseon confess

his crimes with his own mouth.

The two trillion won you hacked got exposed too.

I expected that.

So what now?

Hey, Guho.

Throw this bastard off the roof.

Have some.

Soon, Mr. Yeom is going to burst through that door,

come charging in, and lash out at us.

To not let him get to you, you should have some tea

and get yourself in the right headspace.

Have some.

Told you. Not even a hint of guilt on his face.

You're here because of that idiot Seo Dongju, right?

You must've been so startled and deeply shocked.

Don't worry.

We just need to say the video was fabricated.

I'll get the online team moving.

In three days, no one will believe the video.

You didn't come all the way out here at this hour

to argue about what's true or not, right?

I warned you

if you messed with Director Seo again, it'd be a declaration of war against me.

Why did you ignore it?

I didn't ignore it. Not once.

Are you saying Director Seo acted on his own and started all this?

I'm hurt.

You're siding with him? The one who caused this?

He's not taking his side.

The Elder said from the start that Director Seo was dangerous.

He always stayed on guard.

Bring me the two trillion won Director Seo took.

From that moment on, I'll pretend Seo Dongju never existed.

But until then,

don't lay a finger on him.

Brother.

What now? Why call me that again?

How about I bring you something bigger than the two trillion in his head?

There's such a thing? Of course, there is.

Daesan Group.

For now, Daesan Energy.

What are you planning to do?

I'm setting up a bottomless fund

to ensure your successor wins the presidency,

followed by victories...

in the general and local elections.

I'll take care of everything.

You just step in and give a little nudge when I need your help.

Since Ma Jaeyeol TV's report, rumors and speculative articles

on Professor Yeom Jangseon and Director Seo Dongju of Daesan Group

have flooded the internet with none of the allegations being properly addressed.

Ten days have passed in this pointless back-and-forth.

What are the prosecutors and police doing?

Are they waiting on a signal from the higher-ups?

The prosecution must immediately

launch an investigation into the Daesan Energy slush fund,

which clearly appears connected to this administration's energy projects.

Did you watch the press conference?

I loved that you said Seo Dongju's name loud and clear.

Let's finally get something out of that old study-abroad friendship.

And the Daesan Energy employee you said you'd introduce?

Nice to meet you, Assemblywoman Seok Sugyeong.

Yes, sir.

I've received word from CEO Cha Gukhui.

She's currently in discussions with Assemblywoman Seok Sugyeong

and Daesan Energy's finance manager, Hong Munhan, to decide their next steps.

Listen carefully, Ms. Ji.

At the press conference, Assemblywoman Seok made it crystal clear

that Seo Dongju is at the center of the slush fund tied to Daesan Energy.

Now we push further.

We need to find proof that Seo Dongju is the one who came up with those dollars

in the chairman's vault.

But, sir,

I'm worried this could also put the chairman in danger.

I won't let that happen.

Ms. Ji.

Seo Dongju is the only one who knows the vault code.

He's been spending the cash like it's his own.

It has nothing to do with the chairman.

Okay.

I trust you, sir.

Of course, you should.

Ms. Ji, this time,

it's about removing Seo Dongju from Daesan,

like plucking a single hair with tweezers.

SISTER AGNES, SEO YEONJU

Yeonju.

Why are you here again?

I'm not taking the college entrance exam.

Let me become a nun.

Then do it.

What? Did Jesus say you needed permission from your brother?

I can only leave home with peace of mind if you're good on your own.

Yeonju, the food I eat, the booze,

the gas for my bike, these clothes, shoes...

They're all from the salary Madame Pi paid me.

What more do I have to do to prove it?

So, don't worry about me and go become a nun.

Seo Dongju!

Start studying again.

If you try it and still hate it and choose to quit on your own,

I'll accept that.

It's not even your fault.

Yeom Huicheol and his uncle framed you and got you kicked out.

If you give up your studies now,

it'll feel like you're admitting their lies were true.

I'll carry that pain forever.

Dongju, you're my proud savior.

Here we go again.

Can you please stop calling me that?

How can you call your brother your savior when you believe in Jesus?

Jesus knows too.

That you're my savior.

If I could go back...

If I hadn't gone to college...

and if I hadn't joined Daesan,

you'd still be here as a nun at the church, right?

But I can't go back.

So I'm going to end this now.

The scandal that started with Ma Jaeyeol TV is being framed as

a personal conflict between Yeom Jangseon and Seo Dongju.

We've been consistent in messaging that Daesan has nothing to do with it, sir.

What bothers me is Assemblywoman Seok's surprise press conference.

Daesan's name came up again.

Have you seen Director Seo?

I figured it'd only make things worse if he showed his face,

so I told him not to come in for a while.

Mmm.

Chairman, I have something to say.

Okay.

Sure, come and have a seat.

I'll excuse myself.

Okay.

See me after this.

Okay.

What is it?

Chairman.

Don't we need to appoint a new CEO for Daesan Energy?

Of course.

I was just discussing that with the vice chairman.

I need to become the CEO of Daesan Energy.

What?

What did you just say?

Come on in, Deokhui.

I heard from Seonu's father that you've agreed to help Seonu.

Ms. Ji.

I know you put him up to it behind our backs.

If this is your way of thanking me, save it.

In return for taking care of Seonu, I got plenty of Daesan Volt shares.

I am

at least trying to accept

that Seonu is my father's son.

So let's keep things low-key between us.

We're not done here.

Deokhui.

Recommend me

for the chairman of the Cha Daebok Cultural Foundation.

It was discussed with Seonu's father.

It doesn't matter.

Let me tell you exactly why you can't get that position.

Firstly,

it's the same reason I'm not the chair and just a board member.

That position should go to someone with public respect.

It's a way to show the world that the foundation is run transparently.

Secondly,

your personal qualifications.

Besides seducing my elderly father, do you even have any real skills?

Watch...

your mouth.

You brought up the chairmanship recommendation first,

so I'm just stating the facts about why you aren't fit enough. What's the issue?

You quit being an anchor so long ago, it barely counts as experience.

Baking bread at a local bakery,

then scheming your way into the Daesan family...

That doesn't suit a foundation built on transparency and public good.

Do you need more reasons?

When Seonu was young,

I stepped back from your cheap and trashy threats.

I did it

to protect my son, Seonu.

But I'm done staying silent.

And if you are?

As the wife of Daesan Group's Chairman,

as your stepmother,

I'll start guiding the stepdaughters

and shape the family values.

So that my son, Cha Seonu, can inherit Daesan properly.

Ouch!

Let go of me. Now!

Let go!

Let go of me.

Let go...

Please let me go.

Let go, Deokhui!

You want to become CEO for Seonu?

Yes, Chairman.

Who do you truly believe is more fit

to guide and protect Seonu's future between Mr. Yeom and me?

If it benefits himself, he would toss Seonu aside

and pick Taeyun without hesitation.

You know that.

Taeyun is your younger brother. It's only natural you'd favor him.

Chairman,

the only thing I'm loyal to...

is Daesan.

But you don't even own Daesan. Why are you so invested?

Because of Yeom Jangseon.

All I want is to stop Yeom Jangseon from targeting Daesan, Chairman.

Yeom is already living well off Daesan's money,

quietly pulling the strings.

So why would he want to take Daesan?

Could he even pull that off?

Chairman.

Do you remember when Daesan Energy nearly collapsed

because the oil import credit line was blocked?

Throwing Daesan Energy into chaos just to make Huh Ildo look like the hero

and seat him as chairman.

Yeom Jangseon planned the whole thing.

His goal was to run Daesan however he wanted

once you stepped down and Huh Ildo took over.

So...

it wasn't Yeom who persuaded the Elder?

TO ELDER

Come in.

My name is Seo Dongju.

Thank you for responding.

Your message today saved my life, sir.

I'm currently getting treated at Daesan Hospital,

pretending to be unconscious to avoid Yeom Jangseon's murder attempts.

The things in your message...

How can I be sure they're true?

I can withdraw the exact amount you request right now

from the National Patriotism Fund in Switzerland

and wire it wherever you want.

Before that...

Mr. Yeom is blocking Daesan Energy's crude oil import credit.

I'd like to ask for you to step in, sir.

Chairman.

I'm the only one who can stop Yeom Jangseon.

Why only you?

There are me, the vice chairman,

all the affiliate CEOs, and the board members...

And even Gukhui, and...

Yeom Jangseon is trying to kill me

because I have the only weapon that can stand against him, Chairman.

Once I stop Yeom Jangseon,

I'll step down from the CEO position.

Please don't let Yeom Jangseon sway you,

and make a wise decision, Chairman.

Mr. Yeom says

Director Seo is the most dangerous person to Seonu inside Daesan.

Director Seo is full of ambition.

He's bound to clash with Seonu eventually.

How about some tea?

I saw the video.

Why are you doing something so dangerous?

He even tried to kill me, his own niece-in-law,

because I rubbed him the wrong way.

Don't worry, Eunnam.

I shot that video

so Mr. Yeom couldn't do anything to me.

I'll be fine.

The man who attacked you and President Huh...

Mr. Yeom sent him, right?

Dongju,

how about you give it all up and leave Daesan?

Eunnam.

The only thing I can do now...

is get Yeom Jangseon out of Daesan.

When I was a new hire,

my goal was to become chairman of Daesan someday.

And also to marry you after I was promoted to director.

It's not about literally becoming chairman.

More like how aiming to be president might land you a minister's seat.

If I dream of being chairman,

maybe I'd end up running a subsidiary.

It's a big ambition with no guarantee...

of success.

Just a vague goal.

But right now, my goal at Daesan is clear.

Getting rid of Yeom Jangseon.

Dongju.

The kid in that photo...

That kid...

It was you, wasn't it?

The kid in my dad's arms isn't me.

Do you know who this kid is?

That kid?

I don't know either.

Dongju, you told me...

we were caught in a net...

...woven by our parents and all those adults.

Do you think we can ever...

...break free from it without getting hurt?

You asked me that.

I finally understand why you asked that.

You know that my mom made President Huh kill you, your mom, and my dad.

So how could you ever think to beg me for forgiveness in his place?

Because I know exactly what your pain feels like.

Hello. Welcome, Ms. Ji.

Apologies for dropping by unannounced.

That makes me even happier to see you. Come on in.

This is the first time you've ever come to visit me without me asking.

This kind of quiet, proactive move of yours...

I like it.

This is a part of the fund records from the chairman's inner office vault.

You've already gotten your hands on it?

Let's see...

Do I put Assemblywoman Seok Sugyeong in front of the press again

or hand this straight to the prosecutors?

When exactly will Director Seo be leaving Daesan?

You hate him that much?

The chairman is keeping his distance, so he's fine.

But Seonu is completely drawn in. To a worrying degree.

That's what he's good at.

Even the chairman was once taken in until I helped him see clearly.

Does Seonu know...

Seo Dongju and Huh Taeyun are brothers?

Yes.

Dongju might seem like he's on Seonu's side now,

but in the end, he'll choose his own blood, Huh Taeyun.

Make sure you drill it into Seonu's head.

I told Dongju to do as he wished.

After all, he's my father's son too.

So Dongju and Taeyun are brothers?

You came.

You camped out in my house demanding to see me, how could I not?

Why did you want to meet?

Don't be so nervous, Ms. Cha.

I'm not here about the past.

I'm still

not ready to talk with you about what happened back then.

Sometimes, I resent you so much...

that I feel like I could kill you.

That's all I'll say.

You say you're not ready to talk about the past

but then tell me you want to kill me?

Am I not even allowed to say that much?

More importantly, to remove Yeom Jangseon from Daesan,

I need to become CEO of Daesan Energy.

Why are you telling me this?

You want me to use my Daesan Energy shares

to back you?

That position...

That's the position Gukhui is eyeing too.

This isn't the time to worry about your sister's feelings.

Ms. Ji

is using Yeom Jangseon to sway the chairman.

If this continues, Taeyun's future will be completely erased.

Fine. But

only if you sign a waiver right here,

renouncing your claim to President Huh's inheritance.

Why would I?

Aren't you here to ask for my help?

You've misunderstood.

With Taeyun's future so uncertain,

you need to depend on me.

I'm here to tell you that.

Professor Yeom Jangseon is

leaking the slush fund story

ahead of Assemblywoman Seok Sugyeong's press conference.

Time to act before he does.

How do you respond to the ruling

that Professor Yeom wasn't involved in the deaths

of Manager Yoo and Sister Agnes raised on Ma Jaeyeol TV?

We've submitted new evidence to the prosecution.

I urge them to reopen the case.

Not only has Professor Yeom Jangseon denied

any link to Manager Yoo or Sister Agnes's deaths,

he also claimed the National Patriotism Fund never existed.

What's your take on that?

Once an official investigation into the fund begins,

I'll speak to that.

Even after Assemblywoman Seok Sugyeong's press conference,

prosecutors still show no signs of pursuing the case.

I think someone is actively blocking the investigation.

Do you want to become CEO of Daesan Energy

to follow in President Huh's footsteps as his son?

I've wanted to lead Daesan Energy

long before I knew President Huh was my father.

Turn it off.

He'll only speak to it once an official investigation into the fund begins...

He says that

knowing full well neither I nor the Elder can go public.

Goodness.

This jerk... Seriously.

ELDER

Damn it.

It's Yeom Jangseon!

Director Seo submitted new evidence linking you

to the death of Manager Yoo. Do you admit to the charges?

Let's talk up there.

The prosecution said they were still coordinating an interview.

Why suddenly show up voluntarily?

PROSECUTION SERVICE

Chairman Cha Gangcheon of Daesan Group and I

have been close friends for years.

But my friend is ill.

He has dementia.

Dementia? He has dementia?

But just yesterday,

he attended a breakfast hosted by the American Chamber of Commerce.

Would that even be possible if he has dementia?

Some people said they saw his symptoms of dementia at his wedding.

So is it true?

Are you sure about this? How do you know this?

Do you have proof?

While my friend was vulnerable due to dementia,

Seo Dongju took advantage of him and tried to destroy Daesan Group.

When I caught Director Seo looting Daesan, he turned around and framed me.

I'll fully cooperate with today's investigation.

But do you have proof...

Do you have proof that Chairman Cha has dementia?

Do you have proof? Can you take responsibility for that?

A lot of Daesan Daily reporters are here.

I have the diagnosis right here.

It's his privacy, so I can't show it out here,

but I'll submit it as evidence today.

PROFESSOR YEOM JANGSEON REPORTS TO THE PROSECUTION

What a goddamn bastard!

The chairman's collapsed!

Chairman!

Father! Chairman!

Father, what's wrong? Chairman.

First, let's...

What... Are you okay?

Mom, get the car ready. Okay.

Hurry! Get the car ready.

Mom, I'll bring the car around to the front.

As you get older, food becomes medicine.

When I saw him take just three bites at breakfast,

I knew something was off. Goodness.

If he dies like this,

they'll say the new person brought bad luck.

Oh, no. Madam Ji Yeongsu is in trouble.

Be careful what you say.

Besides, if the chairman passes,

the two of us who are only needed to serve his table

will be out the door.

Goodness.

After Professor Yeom Jangseon's claim about Chairman Cha's dementia,

Daesan Group's stocks across all subsidiaries have plummeted.

As it is well known that Chairman Cha has been

making decisions for the group,

the revelation of his illness

is expected to have a devastating impact on Daesan Group.

Yes, I understand. I'll do that.

Ms. Ji said the chairman's stomach spasms have eased.

That's a relief.

By the way,

Professor Yeom... Goodness.

He must be insane.

Looks like he exposed the chairman's illness

to drop Daesan's stock and buy it up cheap with his investors and fund allies.

As long as we resolve this instability around the chairman,

the stock will bounce back in no time.

Mr. Yeom knows Daesan Group's situation better than anyone.

If the chairman weren't in the hospital,

we could call in the press and show everyone he's fine.

We can't do that.

Why not?

If his condition suddenly worsens in front of the press,

it'll be impossible to contain.

Seonu, help your father get into bed.

Father.

Okay.

My son.

How's the stock price?

It's probably tanking.

I checked earlier, and now I'm too scared to look again.

Did you bring it?

Once news of the chairman's dementia gets out, Daesan stock will drop fast.

Then we'll buy up Daesan Energy shares and increase our side's stake.

But if the stock drops too far,

the group could collapse... Daesan's businesses are solid.

The stock will recover in time.

Ms. Ji, you married into the right family.

Give me the diagnosis.

I decided to become your friend because I'm warm-hearted.

I'm not working with you because you hold some great position.

You should know that.

I'll get it on my own. You can leave now.

Wait.

Here.

I haven't turned cold yet.

But when I do, I tend to be scary, Ms. Ji.

Honey, just have Father admitted.

Yeah, he'll need to stay for a few days anyway.

Do you have the brain scan?

Yes.

He doesn't like

people talking about test results behind his back.

I should know my own condition better than anyone.

So don't you ever keep these things from me.

How much worse has it gotten?

Neurology says

the prognosis isn't all that bad.

Right now, it's your stress-induced gastritis.

Your condition isn't good.

It's a relief that my dementia isn't progressing too fast.

No wonder my memory's been decent lately.

Right, Yeongsu?

Mom.

Father's talking.

Right...

Honey, should I cook some porridge?

Yes.

Hey.

Director Seo.

Help me up.

That way.

Come and sit.

Yes, sir.

As soon as you handed over the murder evidence to prosecutors,

Mr. Yeom lost his mind.

No, Chairman.

This was all part of his plan.

He will probably start buying up Daesan Energy stock now.

If all his allies combine their shares, they'll become a powerful block.

How do we stop his attack?

I've been thinking...

Maybe we should proceed with a tender offer.

To actively defend management control, that might be the way to go...

You and I were thinking the same thing.

If you approve, I'll use a tender offer to block Mr. Yeom's attack.

Raising the funds won't be easy.

Director Seo.

Are you planning to use your two trillion won?

I haven't decided

what to do with that money yet.

But I know some people who want to invest in Daesan Energy.

Then go ahead.

Thank you, Chairman.

You should thank my son, Seonu.

When Yeom sent me into gastric pain,

it was my son who picked me up and ran.

Last time, Taeyun carried me too.

But being on your own son's back...

It's different from being carried by your grandson.

The Huh family's back and the Cha family's?

They're night and day.

Then I realized...

you were the one who made all this possible.

That's why I called you in.

Yes, Chairman.

Who knows?

Maybe after I die,

you'll be the one to take Seonu down.

I'll never know.

All I can do while I'm alive is beg you to do everything you can

to help Seonu.

Chairman Cha needs our money?

We're going forward with a tender offer.

You sure about this?

Didn't your father make you promise

to stay away from the stock market when he died?

Well, I'll deal with my dad's will later.

What matters now is not losing to Yeom Jangseon.

If we pool the funds those CEOs were managing under my father,

we'll have a decent amount.

It's no surprise. It's money inherited

from Myeong Pyeongseok, one of the top three names in finance.

Put everything I gave you

into the fund for the Daesan Energy tender offer.

Chairman.

It's me, Choi Gihyeon.

The vice chairman of Daesan Group.

Chairman.

He seemed fine just now.

Did I get you?

You sure fooled me, Chairman.

Gosh.

What's the problem with the tender offer?

The timing, volume, and price seemed perfect at first.

Turns out it's not so easy.

Yeom Jangseon's side isn't backing down easily.

We may need short-term loans in case we have to raise the price.

Mmm.

Okay, we should stay prepared.

We can't hand Yeom everything we've worked for on a platter.

I'll have our investment bank check on the National Pension Service's stance.

All right.

I've got something to look into, so I'll head out now.

Sure.

Okay.

Director Seo, let's talk.

He seriously didn't recognize me just now.

He's been like that a lot lately.

It's upsetting.

Just now,

I actually didn't recognize him.

Yes, that's kind of what I figured.

Vice Chairman Choi

joined Daesan straight after college.

We've spent decades together.

Life is cruel.

How did I get here?

I'm heading in.

Let me drive you.

I've got a professional driver.

Why would I ride in your car? It's okay.

PROSECUTION SERVICE

It's fine. Don't follow me.

What brings you here?

Mmm.

I have something to take care of.

Wow.

It really is Chairman Cha Gangcheon.

He came to reveal the truth behind his son-in-law Huh Ildo's death

before he lost his memory completely.

Who's going in?

Let's hurry to the next firm.

Yes, sir. Mr. Yeom Jangseon.

You've been charged with ordering Huh Ildo's murder.

You're under arrest due to risk of evidence tampering.

SEORIN HOSPITAL

Here.

What's wrong?

Right.

Are you looking down on it

since it's only 50,000 won?

Just drink it.

You'll get the expensive stuff once you're back home.

Here.

Come on.

Arresting me without a warrant?

Cha Gangcheon, that crazy old man.

Cha Gangcheon?

You didn't know?

That senile old man walked into the prosecutors' office himself,

saying he'd report you before his memory fades.

And by pure chance... By pure luck,

one of the Elder's juniors found out and stepped in.

People are watching.

We have to pretend to play fair.

Ungrateful bastard. I built Daesan into what it is.

The arrest warrant was denied. Go home and get some rest.

If you stay home,

you'll be investigated without being detained.

The Elder arranged it.

What investigation?

Nam Sangcheol, go tell Lee Cheolyong...

from this moment on, I'm not to be investigated.

Got it?

Okay.

Got it.

Have some.

Pour some more.

I thought you didn't like cheap wines.

You should've taken it easy. My goodness.

Hey, Nam Sangcheol...

Gosh, brother.

Do well, all right?

Go on in and get some rest. Watch your head.

Take care, brother.

Seo Dongju, you bastard.

It's been three days since Yeom Jangseon,

a former Prosecutor General now a professor

at Hanguk University Law School, went missing.

Prosecutors believe he was heavily involved

in the death of former Daesan Energy CEO, Huh Ildo.

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.

Buried Hearts

Yeom Jangseon's disappearance, was it your doing, Dongju?

That his disappearance isn't staged.

Some say he may have been killed

since he had many enemies.

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

Is Mr. Yeom dead?

What if I killed him?

Die, you bastard!

I'm going to take everything...

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

Did I win?
