Original subtitles

Come out!

I'm over....

here.

It's the police. We must get away, sir.

(Baek Sang Gu)

Just so you know,

things didn't quite work out as planned.

Young Ju.

Hyun Su.

Dong Jun has a severe stab wound.

I also think there's internal bleeding.

Are you all right?

I'm fine.

We have to get him to the hospital.

I'm asking you if you're all right!

Yes. I'm fine.

That's all I need to know...

Hyun Su!

At the plastic surgery center of Hangang Hospital,

we expect to have 300 patients undergo procedures daily...

and reach yearly sales of over 200 million dollars.

By building a cooperative system with Chinese travel agents,

in the long term...

I'll call you back later.

Father.

I understand.

(Episode 6)

Yeon Hwa. Hurry.

All right.

A surgical team is on standby.

We'll control the hemorrhage and then do a CT scan.

He's experiencing internal damage...

and severe bleeding in the organs.

If he goes into shock during surgery, it could put him in danger.

(Diagnosis: Stab wound in the lower part of the abdomen)

Let's begin.

I'll perform the surgery.

Get some rest.

I'll make sure you wake up.

Hand me the scalpel.

Get me the Commissioner on the line.

Get Jeong Il's call history and...

- What did you say his name was? - Baek Sang Gu, sir.

Find the call records that prove he issued the orders...

and any trace of them exchanging money.

Baek Sang Gu.

The police might make a visit.

If they ask who gave you the orders,

give them my name.

Su Yeon. Su Yeon!

And the incident that happened at the fishing site,

tell them I ordered that as well.

I have the confidential documents on the bulletproof vests.

If I get arrested, the documents will end up in the prosecution.

And the person...

that leaked those documents...

will be investigated.

We know he's not good at keeping secrets.

I'm concerned whether he'll be able to handle the situation.

I'm worried about Dad...

and Taebaek as well.

Sir.

Don't worry.

He can abandon me, but not Taebaek.

You can save Taebaek.

Dr. Lee will save Dong Jun.

He's the President's doctor...

and a very renowned cardiothoracic surgeon.

Scissors.

He saved the plastic surgery center...

and the medical college by taking it over himself.

He saves everything he needs.

Scalpel.

He still needs his son.

He will save him.

(10 days later)

So annoying.

Not you.

Why would anyone give a plant as a present to someone?

Give that pot some nutritional supplements tomorrow.

Why aren't you answering me?

Don't you want to?

I have to.

Government workers continue to work even under a tyrant,

and soldiers continue to guard one's country...

even under a wicked president.

There has been a change in the list of personnel.

Somehow Jo Yeon Hwa is gone...

and you're now Shin Young Ju.

Write up an English speech for me...

by the end of the day.

I have requested a half-day off today.

I have to go to the hospital.

Mr. Lee...

started to eat today.

He just had some liquids until yesterday.

He began to walk around a bit.

Right.

He took off his IV lines as well.

You have slept with the judge who was hired...

to rule against your father.

Then you took him into your side.

I wonder...

where your pride went.

That night.

How was my husband?

He was great.

Very awesome.

If you are curious,

you can try him yourself, Ms. Choi.

I'll prepare your English speech until tomorrow.

It looked like English wasn't your strength.

I'll use easy words.

I get 3,000 dollars a month with 300 percent bonus.

I told my mom...

that I got hired as your driver.

Then she went right to the bank to look for a savings account...

for me to save up and get married.

When I was a kid, all I had was women.

I can't believe I'm actually making money now.

I know I'm your driver,

but you can use me however you'd like.

I know you.

You do not make the same mistake twice.

I'll leave this one in here.

My goodness.

Sit up.

Forget about it. Stop it.

I got these talismans...

from a very renowned shaman.

If you sleep with this in your pillow,

she said you'll live until you turn 80.

Come on. This is all but a superstition.

- Don't believe in this. - Look.

What do you believe, then?

You said a good day will come.

You said a good day will come if you just keep your conscience...

even after you got kicked out from the broadcasting station.

My goodness, Chang Ho.

What you have trusted in is the real superstition.

Where do you think you're going without me?

You can't go.

I won't let go of you.

(Track your package)

(Returned from Kapas terminal)

I'm trying to find out where she kept the confidential documents.

I'm checking to see...

who she meets and where she goes.

(Your battery is low.)

Ask me anything about your wife if you are curious.

Did she order something?

She's been tracking package on that website by the hour.

There's no trace of her accessing...

any bank vaults or private safes.

CEO Choi will only make a move...

once we have those confidential documents.

I know.

He wouldn't want to hurt his daughter.

We can only get Kang Jeong Il once CEO Choi makes a move.

That way, my father will be released without any charges.

You will remain...

here at Taebaek.

Someday, you will have...

the power...

of what CEO Choi Il Hwan has.

I very much look forward...

to seeing the future judicial circles.

It will get a little better.

I have to tell myself every day for the rest of my life.

About how I came to work at Taebaek.

I am not someone who can live like Mr. Shin.

However,

I won't live like CEO Choi either.

Do that.

If you can.

The director of this hospital will conduct Mr. Shin's surgery.

He's the President's doctor.

He's not a good guy,

but he's the best doctor you'll find.

My goodness, I was going to go find you.

You came all the way here for me.

There are many people keeping their eyes on you.

I told you to just get him on the ship.

Just do as I say.

Do not complicate things.

I wanted to take over a small construction company.

- Can you look into a loan? - Baek Sang Gu.

Just do as I say. Do not complicate things.

Many will get hurt...

once I open my mouth.

If you have anything else you want me to do, you can...

There won't be any.

There has been a report of a theft at your villa.

I heard the police was there.

I'm sure they were the CEO's people.

He must...

be dying to have the confidential document.

Su Yeon.

What happens...

if CEO Choi gets the documents?

Never.

I don't have it...

with me.

(Body Armor Performance Report )

He can't take something I don't have from me.

The document....

is coming back to me.

(The package is being returned due to an incorrect address.)

Indonesia has thousands of islands.

Taebaek has nothing to do with this island.

When was it shipped?

Let me see.

It was shipped on February 13.

By the way, what is this document for?

It's me.

You'll receive a mail.

Make sure to keep it safe.

I'm shooting a TV program today.

I need to go to a beauty salon before that.

Where is it coming from?

Indonesia?

What's that?

It's open.

(Taebaek, Choi Su Yeon, 1, Sajik-ro 34, Jongno-gu, Seoul)

What do you think...

about the TV debate of the presidential candidates?

They say they'd need an infusion of new blood every time.

What use can it be of?

Their blood type doesn't match the people's to begin with.

She's pretty.

Gosh.

She's my type.

More than 80 percent of the nation...

is the so-called commonalty.

What percentage of the politicians...

is the commonalty?

- This is for you. - Okay.

By the way, can I get your autograph here?

That would be appreciated.

There's more.

Can I take a picture with you?

Look.

Father.

I got the confidential document...

on the body armor performance report.

Take good care of yourself.

I'll take care of the rest.

Hello? Mr. Park.

I heard there will be an interpellation today.

I'll send you a fax.

Gosh, it's only reelection.

You already have too many questions.

Are you sure you can do this?

All right.

Right.

Today is...

the anniversary of Yu Taek's wife's death, right?

Yes, sir.

As far as I know, they didn't get along well.

But Yu Taek...

might be...

a little sad today.

Look over there.

I will work the ground and plant sunflowers there.

And I will plant...

cherry blossoms over there which are your mother's favorite.

She never got a flower while she was alive.

She'll rest on the flower bed after her death.

As I'm under-educated,

I wanted to meet someone who's highly educated.

So I married a college professor who majored in Russian literature.

Your mother studied Dostoevski's work.

I heard he wasted his whole life gambling.

But she liked him.

Why did she have to ignore me?

So...

you should marry a person of your level.

That's why...

I'm with Su Yeon.

I'm not going to my hometown since last year.

They keep getting on at me...

about my son marrying a servant's daughter.

You know I hate you, right?

Yes.

Thank you for approving of our relationship.

I didn't approve of anything.

I just gave up on him.

Chairman.

We have a problem in National Assembly.

Gosh.

Chairman Kang Yu Taek of Bogook Industries...

is in cahoots with the executives...

and high-rankers of Defense Acquisition Program Administration.

We got information about him having committed...

defense industry's corruption.

The taxpayer's precious money...

which is supposed to be used...

to protect the country...

has been wasted by individuals...

following only their own self-interest.

Su Yeon.

I think CEO Choi made a move.

I can stop him.

Jeong Il, find a policeman whom you can control.

Let's reveal the detonator without exploding it.

(Shin Young Ju)

It's the English speech you asked me for.

Young Ju.

The document is...

This document...

is what Kim Sung Sik tried to hand over to my dad.

I'll have it delivered.

Right.

For difficult words,

I wrote Korean pronunciations underneath.

It will be easy for you to read.

Il Hwan. In which ward is he?

Where do I need to go?

(30 years ago)

What are you doing?

- Did you eat? - Did you really ask me that?

Il Hwan. You couldn't become a judge or a prosecutor.

You lost your clients after you lost trials several times.

Look at you. What is this?

Work with me.

From now on,

the world will be ours.

This morning, insurgents suppressed...

the crowd protecting the provincial government building.

Soldiers commanded by the marital law are trying to maintain order.

In order to protect innocent citizens from the mob...

and financial difficulties, strict...

They drove tanks to Gwangju.

The ones who seized the administration...

were seniors from my hometown...

and Yu Taek's friends.

You became a weaponry broker and used them as your footing.

Right.

(Contract)

What is this?

Let me see. Let's see.

"Taebaek Law Firm and Bogook Industries..."

"can separate..."

"by mutual agreement when one party desires it."

We don't know this. We are friends.

Goodness.

My grandfather lost the wasteland he worked on in a farm tenancy dispute.

My father lost the salt field...

because it was the landlord's land for a fishery.

Il Hwan.

You will provide your intelligence.

I will provide the money.

Yesterday was Su Yeon's first birthday, right?

She's your daughter because you're raising her.

If you raise Taebaek Law Firm well,

it will be yours.

Il Hwan. Take a look at this.

I wrote this. What do you think?

I got you an office in Seocho-dong.

Hang it in your office.

Hang it up nicely.

Il Hwan. Did you eat?

National Assembly is preparing a hearing.

What should we do?

If they investigate me,

your dirty laundry will come out too.

Yu Taek. You will be busy soon.

The government will rearrange a new business regarding...

air defense network with North Korea.

They will need missiles and newest radars.

It will be over 10 billion dollars.

A personnel from a US company will come tomorrow.

Why don't you join me?

Your parting gift is too generous.

I can't carry it with these two hands.

Let Jeong Il help you carry it.

If Jeong Il and I are persistent, we will both go down,

but if I take Jeong Il with me,

you will cut me a piece of the deal?

(CEO Choi Il Hwan)

(Separation Agreement)

Isn't this the contract you drew up when we started our businesses...

30 years ago?

Goodness. You don't miss a thing, do you?

I'd like to have the wasteland and the salt field returned as well.

I will pay double the market price.

The wasteland your grandfather cultivated.

The salt field your father made.

I will repair them nicely and give them to you.

Aren't we friends?

The blood on Jeong Il's hands...

Clean his hands thoroughly and send him to me.

If you do,

I will stamp the contract with my thumb.

Was it Shin Chang Ho?

The one who went to prison instead of Jeong Il?

He's getting a surgery in this hospital, right?

If that guy...

doesn't make it out of the operating room,

isn't the case closed...

since the culprit is dead?

Don't you think so?

Are you implying I kill a man?

Who said anything about killing?

I just said he wouldn't be saved.

Father.

Kids should stay out of grown up talks.

Eat that.

There's blood on my son's hands.

Do you think I will hold his bloody hands?

What's your plan, Il Hwan?

I will wipe that blood.

This is what Sung Sik...

left for you, Dad.

He's gone,

but we are still here.

There's a lot to be done.

You need to get better quickly.

She's the daughter of a newspaper agency's owner.

She's the youngest daughter of the former prime minister.

Jeong Il doesn't like women who had a lot of plastic surgeries.

He doesn't like promiscuous women even more.

She has a bad reputation.

You have two plans.

The first plan is to face the hearing set up by my dad.

Gosh.

Why are you trying to bet with my money?

You and Jeong Il. Both of you could only take part in this business...

with your parents' money.

It's time for me to take away that money.

Mr. Kang.

You picked threads at your first birthday party.

I wonder what the child between you and Dong Jun...

will choose.

I can't live with him.

As you live your life,

you will learn to.

You will resign at the end of this month.

Your legal fee has been fully calculated.

Your severance pay...

It's a generous amount.

I will lead Taebaek into a global law firm.

I will properly honor you as the CEO of this firm.

Sir.

I worked for Taebaek for the last 10 years.

I am different from my father.

Yes, you are.

You take after your grandfather.

I remember him.

He extorted the salt field my father worked...

for 10 years overnight.

Throw it out.

It's salted pollack roe.

Since the President's doctor will operate on my dad,

my mom wanted me to give it to him.

You know how parents are weak with these high offices.

Dr. Lee.

I need you to make a mistake.

If Shin Chang Ho walks out alive out of that operation room,

this deal is over.

Bogook Industries will get shut down...

and Taebaek will fall apart.

When that happens,

your son-in-law will be buried beneath them.

How can he survive that?

Young Ju.

You're the one who called my name.

Goodbye.

I researched a little about Dr. Lee.

He was the one who had...

the best survival rate among all surgeons...

who conduct a lung cancer surgery.

Thank you,

says my mom.

This is a gift from Shin Chang Ho who you'll operate on tomorrow.

Since it's not a difficult surgery for you,

I told them that it'll go well.

Give it back to them.

The anti-bribery and graft act is applicable for doctors as well.

If tomorrow's surgery goes wrong,

you will stand in the courts...

for breaking the medical law.

I plan on making a mistake tomorrow.

Father, you're a doctor.

I heard there's a document.

No father would save a man who can kill his son.

No, it's for your sake.

What did you get from CEO Choi?

I'll let him live if you make a request.

Mr. Kang is pushing me away...

and my dad is pushing you away.

I thought they were enemies.

But I guess old friendship kicks in when the times are like this.

Contracts are stronger than a friendship.

A fight between friends.

A lawsuit between family members.

The winner is always decided with a contract.

(Cho Gyung Ho)

It's about the Australian fund.

They want out because we didn't meet their premise.

If the premise is not met,

the contract is called off.

If we let Shin Chang Ho live...

If I let Shin Chang Ho live,

he'll make a scene with that document.

That will put you...

and Taebaek...

in danger.

Can I get my hands on the master key...

of your general ward?

I want both Mr. Shin...

and me to live.

Father.

(Kang Jeong Il)

This is Shin Young Ju.

I heard the surgery is tomorrow morning.

Make sure you have a great conversation with Mr. Shin.

He won't walk out alive...

once he goes into the operation room.

What are you talking about?

(Lee Dong Jun)

(Military Supply Performance Review)

Mr. Lee.

What?

Mr. Kang said this.

That my father...

will not survive the operation.

Unbelievable.

Can you believe how a righteous reporter became a murderer?

How can an officer be fired for trying to prove her dad's innocence?

We live in a world where everything Choi Il Hwan wants...

come true.

This must be the underworld.

At least sinners get punished in the underworld.

It's fairer than this world.

They even have a funeral hall ready.

They even prepared a reason for your father's death.

- They.... - What about you?

You can stop them.

Once CEO Choi collapses,

I...

collapse too.

You can expose...

the bulletproof vest corruption with me, Dong Jun.

I am...

not your father.

I can't live that life.

Dong Jun.

(Shin Young Ju)

You said you will make a mistake during the operation tomorrow.

I did.

You said it's for me.

You said it's for your son.

If the confidential document is...

destroyed before the surgery,

will you do your best...

during Shin Chang Ho's surgery?

Will you let him live if my safety is guaranteed?

I will.

Mr. Shin's life was trampled upon because of my mistake.

Young Ju.

Please do not let my father make a mistake.

Please...

stop me...

from becoming a man...

like Choi Il Hwan.

This is Sung Sik's notebook.

I taught him and he left this.

I should get it done.

Do you want to change the operating surgeon? Why?

Let me know the procedure for that.

There are dozens of chest surgeons in Hangang Hospital.

I want an experienced surgeon.

There are a lot of experienced surgeons in the hospital.

Young Ju.

If your father refuses to be operated by Dr. Lee,

no doctor in the hospital would want to operate on him.

Then I'll postpone the surgery...

and take him to another hospital.

You have to get permission from the medical officer for that.

Do you want to postpone the surgery...

and transfer your father to another hospital?

Okay.

I'll cancel the stay of execution.

- Officer... - Bring him...

back to the prison tomorrow.

I'll think about when he'll...

- He's a patient with lung cancer. - I know he is a patient.

Then why do you want to postpone his surgery?

Democracy, my foot.

He's a murderer.

But he takes good care of his health.

Gosh.

Have him undergo the surgery as scheduled...

or bring him to the solitary cell in the prison.

It's your call.

You devoted yourself to remove a cancer in society,

but you didn't know you had cancer growing inside of you.

It hurts. Be gentle.

I hate you, but I can't hit you.

Gosh, stop it.

Have him undergo the surgery as scheduled...

or bring him to the solitary cell in the prison.

Sook Hee.

When I get over my cancer,

let's go on a trip...

to Thailand.

Goodness. Thanks to my nice husband,

I'll go on a honeymoon at the age of 60.

Honey.

You'll have to live for more than 100 years...

to keep your promise with me.

If the confidential document is destroyed before the surgery,

will you do your best...

during Shin Chang Ho's surgery?

Young Ju, what are you doing there?

Do you want to tell me something?

Dad.

The surgery will go well.

Don't worry, Mom.

This is what Sung Sik left you.

He's gone,

and we're still here.

There's a lot to be done.

(List of New Bulletproof Vest)

This is Sung Sik's notebook.

I taught him, and he left this.

I should get it done.

(Main operation theater)

What are you doing here?

The confidential document is destroyed.

Is Dong Jun leaving the hospital tomorrow?

I'll go there.

I'll go through the discharge procedure...

and drive him home.

I'll get by anyway.

If Shin Chang Ho walks out alive out of that operation room,

this deal is over.

Bogook Industries will get shut down...

and Taebaek will fall apart. When that happens,

your son-in-law will be buried beneath them.

The confidential document...

is destroyed.

Cover it up.

Cancer has spread...

to the lungs, liver, and pancreas.

The doctor said it hadn't spread after the examination.

You'll never know before you open it.

He's given...

3 months to 6 months at the longest.

What a relief.

If he receives anticancer treatments,

would he be cured?

The trial will be halted.

If Shin Chang Ho dies, the charges will be dropped.

Is there any way to save Shin Chang Ho?

The case will be closed.

Push on with your work for the plastic surgery center.

You burned the evidence that my dad had...

and now I've burned the evidence that Sung Sik left behind.

What should I do now?

Will I have to find another person to frame in place of my dad?

If I help Choi Il Hwan...

and cooperate with the defense industry corruption scandal,

will Dad be able to get out?

Tell me.

You're more experienced than I am.

I thought I was great at my job.

I thought...

I would be able to handle this.

Young Ju.

- You're... - A prostitute.

I threw myself at you because that's all I could come up with.

I feel miserable right now.

More miserable than the night I entered your room.

You were right.

We can go on living without keeping our conscience.

Even if you give up your beliefs, there'll still be a tomorrow.

But what should you do?

You only live once.

Like you said, we only live once.

I'm going to the countryside when Dad recovers.

I'm going to leave this all behind me.

It'll be just me...

and my family.

That day...

won't come.

What are you saying?

I'm sorry.

Forgive me, Young Ju.
