(Episode 9)

Hello, sir.

Where's Ms. Jang?

She'll be up after her call.

Excuse me then.

Is something wrong?

No.

It's nothing.

I'd have brought it to you.

No, I was passing by.

The chairwoman summoned everyone.

You didn't go?

- Drop the salinity to 0.3 percent. - Okay.

How long have you known Do Young?

What do you mean?

She came here when she was 18.

We both first met her then.

You're right.

Do Young seems most relaxed when she's with you.

And you two seem to keep some secrets from me.

Are you worried if we bad-mouthed you?

Can you explain...

about her family picture?

Sir.

A long time ago,

you lost a woman and a baby, didn't you?

"'With the pure intention of finding my missing child, '"

"'I decided to file a paternity lawsuit, '"

"said his representative."

"With the unprecedented case that claims for parental rights..."

"to the child of the Deo empire,"

"the public eye now focuses on the reactions of Deo Group."

"Kim Yeo Ok, Chairwoman of Deo Group, has three children."

"If the statement of Lee is true,"

"one of her three children is believed..."

Isn't this some sort of a tabloid story?

How could this absurdity be in the newspaper?

Ms. Jang, let me skip the formalities as we're home.

You must be preoccupied in enjoying the honeymoon phase.

Otherwise, you wouldn't have let it happen.

Yes, sir.

Of course, that's not true.

Since a widowed woman runs Deo Group all by herself,

someone who thinks little of it probably has plotted this.

This time again, you'll have to take good control of them.

Since my husband had died...

and my father-in-law passed away,

you've been always turning away...

every arrow from all directions directing right at me.

I'll come visit you after things are sorted out well.

All right.

You should've let me finish him earlier.

You said he could be trusted as he had someone to protect.

He must've gotten greedy as he has someone to protect.

I'm not sure what exactly...

Jogwang's Choi Seok Hoon offered.

But he's probably either feeling a threat to his own safety...

or getting a tempting offer.

In those cases,

people reveal their real selves.

I'm looking into what circumstances made him switch sides.

Master Wi Chang Soo...

had a child after he left home. And that is Ms. Jang.

That's all I know.

That means...

you already knew that I'm not the son...

of Wi Chang Soo, right?

Who else knows?

No one knows, but me.

The other day,

with the request of Do Young,

I once brought this up to Chairwoman Kim.

However, I'm not sure if Chairwoman Kim still has doubts.

When was this?

When you were...

away for an overseas business trip.

Do not tell my mother about what happened today.

I'm the one, not her, who decides what to do with Do Young.

And...

Do Young mustn't know that I know about this.

I don't know if this will shatter our family into pieces,

but one thing for sure is that this is not the right time.

Don't you agree?

If you tell Do Young or my mother without my consent,

Do Young will be the first one to get hurt.

Did you get home well last night?

Yes.

Are you feeling okay?

You drank quite a lot last night.

It's been so long since I had such many drinks,

I passed out right away without seeing you leave.

That's right.

Here you are.

I don't think you dropped this.

I think Ye Jun...

took it.

He checks the identification of all the men who visit our home.

That's what his mother taught him since he was little.

I'm sorry.

Since when did you get so close?

What was that just before?

Office romances are banned.

You know, the so-called my mother's man.

You'll take care of it before the meeting, right?

Judging from what I've seen,

there's no tension whatsoever in J Boutique.

You sounded exactly like Ye Nam.

Is this some kind of Stockholm Syndrom?

That hostages grow attached to captors.

Sorry, but you got the wrong idea.

I didn't come here as a hostage.

You look good, Sun Woo.

Yesterday...

I felt bad that I ditched you yesterday.

I'm glad you had someone to keep you company.

If you hadn't met me,

what would you have been like by now?

You would've been smiling more than now, right?

I smile from time to time.

Although you didn't see it.

Have you met up with Lee Hui Seob's daughter?

The daughter's gone missing too.

Her baby due is soon. Something must be wrong.

Apparently, she is kept in captivity,

and Lee Hui Seob is being blackmailed.

The press conference is tomorrow.

Can you find them?

I will try.

For starters, I'm searching through the hospitals owned by Jogwang.

You're not going to regret it.

To stand against someone like Chairwoman Kim,

you'd better go public...

for your own safety.

After getting done with the press conference,

you want to go meet your daughter, right?

I heard the baby due is soon.

Send away the guard who was here.

This elder is holding a press conference at his own free will.

So it will look strange.

- Are they coming yet? - I'm at the press conference.

Yes, I just got here.

(Without explanation, Chairwoman Kim Yeo Ok deserves no rights.)

You know...

who I am, right?

I guess this is how we first met.

By you coming back to take down me and my mom.

I can understand what kind of grudge you hold against my mom.

In my whole life,

I've never heard of any stories about my father.

That includes the person I thought was my father.

Just like that, my mom took away the memories of my father from me.

And now my father who suddenly showed up...

is going to shatter my life into pieces.

What kind of father is that?

Don't you think?

If you are in need of money, I'll give you as much as you want.

How about you move to another country?

No, I'd better just kill myself.

Please don't do this.

It's dangerous.

Wait, it's dangerous. Come here!

Will it satisfy you if I die?

What difference does it make if I'm your daughter now?

It's dangerous.

What was so miserable about your life?

You even had a daughter and a new family.

You forgot about my mom and me...

and lived your own life.

Why are you doing this now?

Come here!

Tell me. Tell me why you're doing this.

I hate myself for this too.

But I have no choice.

If people find out I'm not a daughter of the Deo family,

that means the death of me.

I beg of you.

Please help me.

Please.

They have my daughter.

Jogwang Group took her as a hostage.

She's even pregnant.

You could've said from the beginning...

that the press conference was because of your daughter.

How could I say that to you?

You are...

my daughter too.

Anyhow,

that means you won't cancel the press conference.

I'm sorry, Ye Nam.

Sir, let's go. It's time for the press conference.

You should get up.

Dad!

- Su Yeon. - Dad!

Dad!

- Are you all right? - Yes.

I'm so sorry.

Are you okay? You're not hurt?

My daughter, I'm so sorry.

I'm sorry for putting you through this. I'm sorry.

How could I say that to you?

You are...

my daughter too.

Your daughter has been admitted in the OB-GYN ward.

You should stay here for the time being as well.

That girl keeps lingering in my head.

I couldn't do anything for her,

and this is how she saw me for the first time as her dad.

You had a good reason for your actions,

so she'll understand.

Goodbye, then.

There are so many nice things in this world.

Those mansions I stayed in these past few days,

and even this luxurious hospital ward.

They are places...

that I can never take a step in no matter how hard I try.

Miss Kim probably left me to enjoy these luxuries.

Is she happy?

Since I can't meet her, I'm asking you.

You're leaving?

Thank you for everything.

- Take good care of your health. - Okay.

Dad, she's leaving. Say goodbye.

Who are you?

Dad.

It's okay. It's okay not to recognize anyone.

The press conference has been canceled.

Something like this will never happen again.

I don't feel thankful to you at all.

I didn't do it to hear it from you.

Don't think that you're the one who saved me either.

Are you afraid?

That your father might expose the truth once again?

Or are you embarrassed?

That you received my help for even something like this?

You don't have to worry about your father.

Time will take care of it.

What do you mean?

He will never show himself to the public again.

Whether his daughter is taken as hostage like this time...

or even if someone is killed.

It's all meaningless if he forgets everything.

Your father...

has Alzheimer's.

Eventually, he'll become a nobody...

just like you wanted.

Good job.

I've put him somewhere that people won't know for now.

His daughter can receive care,

and he can take care of his health as well...

while I think about where they'll live from now on.

Why are you trying to protect him so hard?

I don't want to see...

a family being split up.

If I don't do anything, you or Jogwang Group...

will probably make that happen.

Even if we show the DNA test results...

to the shareholders on Deo's side, they won't believe us.

We're still receiving suspicion about framing Jenny Jang...

for conspiring to commit murder.

Why can't you get anything done properly?

Do I really have to do your work for you?

If you're going to do that,

why don't you tell me Deo's bid price?

Did I come in time, Mayor Do?

She is the head of...

Yungcheon International City's preferred bidder selection board.

It's nice to meet you.

All right. Let's start talking then.

Anyhow,

the side that builds the international city...

will be able to crush the opponent.

Will you wear that at the party to congratulate your reappointment?

It is a reappointment congratulation party,

but the preferred bidder will be announced on that day as well.

How much will you bid for?

It needs to be a realistic price, but higher than Jogwang's.

Show Choi Seok Hoon of Jogwang...

who is the boss.

I'll reward you for stopping the press conference then too.

Yes, ma'am.

I met the girl you took in.

She seems determined,

and when told to,

I think she'll do some dirty work.

Just like you.

There are seven on the preferred bidder selection board.

We must make some of them our allies.

I find the head of the board most interesting.

She's addicted to gambling and betting.

Gambling? Cards? Am I right?

Go.

She bets on Go.

She attends a social Go gathering every Wednesday.

They bet and play in a secret room.

We have a player. We just need to get her in.

Let's go. Do you need to prepare?

No. We can go.

Sun Woo, stay and go over the papers.

Ye Eun, help him.

Let's go.

I don't want to be left behind like this.

Success comes before men.

I think you need some preparation.

You're not there as a Go player. You're there as a gambler.

Real gamblers don't dress like this.

Then change back.

But since you picked out an outfit for me.

You might as well wear it?

You seem to get along well with Mr. Yoon.

He seems to be a nicer guy...

than I originally thought.

And more lonely than I thought.

He doesn't know how to lie or hide his emotions.

Maybe that's why he doesn't let people get close.

I noticed that much when we first met.

Thanks.

I'm glad someone sees how he feels.

Let's go.

Hurry up.

You can't go in there.

(Yungcheon City)

(International City Project)

Will you just push forward?

You can leave.

That's what mayors have to do.

We have to listen to everyone.

They'll write history in the country's development,

and create a city at the center of Northeast Asia.

How could I, as the mayor, reject such a plan?

Fine.

How about we think positively?

I'll make a pretty city with my own two hands.

You...

don't trust me, do you?

Your family's sob story got you on the city council.

Does it make you feel better to act like...

you have a calling?

Come on.

After your brother died in an anti-development protest,

you used him to get nominated as a candidate for the election.

That's how you got on the council.

If you continue your brother's fight,

do you think it'll make you look better at your job?

Ju Ho.

If you keep interfering at every turn,

your career might end right here.

Getting rid of someone like you is no big deal at all.

As a friend, I can't stand to...

see you suffer and go down.

So, before that happens, walk out on your own accord.

Get out!

- Mayor Do. - Ju Ho.

No, no.

I just came out for some air.

He's an intelligence bureau chief the police sent.

One tends to make a wrong move after thinking for too long.

If I'll make a wrong move, I might as well take my time.

If an easily set stone is a wrong move,

that's just like giving up.

There's another Jip.

Didn't you almost become a professional once?

I had to go back to get my lunch...

and missed my bus and the test.

No one here...

will bet on you winning this game.

Why don't you switch to something other than Go?

Even gambling has dignity and class.

It's not just about money like it is to you.

You might have the skill, but you sure don't have manners.

I forfeit. This is so boring.

What's the matter with her?

- Go on. - She's too good.

My gosh.

- Not bad. - Right?

Goodness.

Where to now?

What Dan is she?

Who cares?

Gambling Go is beyond Dan.

Oh! Deo Cultural Foundation's Cup.

The final of the National Amateur Go Association.

That was you, right?

Was it?

You know, the girl who wins every amateur tournament there is.

- Gosh. - Really?

I almost didn't recognize you.

- No wonder. - Why didn't you say so sooner?

You're killing me.

Will you go on playing?

Amateurs are usually better here.

You're leaving already?

How about playing with me? I saw...

No, thanks.

Sorry.

I play for someone, you see.

(Yoon Sun Woo)

It's really Jang Dong Ho's autograph.

How did you get it?

Can I get your autograph in advance?

It'll be worth a lot when you become famous.

(Yoon Sun Woo)

(Yoon Sun Woo)

Wow, I got Yoon Sun Woo's autograph.

When I move to Seoul when I'm 20,

I'll live with Do Young.

You can live with us too.

- The three of us? - Yes, the three of us.

I don't want to.

Then give that back.

I'll give it to you when we live together.

You're so stubborn.

(Yoon Sun Woo)

Do I have just three minutes today too?

I have something to say.

I haven't seen that in a while.

We have some shared memories.

You're all grown up.

I was about to throw it out.

I think I really should now.

You said that...

you wished I were sincere about Do Young.

What about now?

You came here to ask me that?

What about you?

Are you over that person?

You don't deserve to be with Do Young.

How could you see another woman when you have her?

You must be happy.

You're counting down towards the day I break up with her.

Yungcheon International City Limited.

That's the name of...

the company centered around Deo.

I'll take a look at it. Send over the documents.

Deo Group's future depends on it.

As the eldest son, I should take a look.

I can't leave it to others.

I must change.

Like how you threw out the ball.

Don't leave out a single file.

Madam?

I'd like to speak with you about the bidding proposal.

You're mistaken.

I have more than enough money...

and I don't want to be in office.

You can't blackmail me with...

what you think I did in there.

Goodbye.

How about...

a chat about Go?

The proposals...

from Deo and Jogwang will be very similar.

I want to win with a clear number.

What makes you think...

I'll commit corruption over a game of Go?

You said so yourself.

You have more than enough money...

and you don't want to be in office.

There could be someone out there who puts...

their whole life on a game of Go.

On our behalf, add one small sum...

to whatever number Jogwang submits.

What's a small sum?

10 million dollars?

100 million dollars?

10 dollars.

That's so mean.

You'll really break Jogwang.

In a business that costs over 20 billion dollars,

you'll beat them with a 10-dollar bill?

Okay.

Deal.

If you'd said 100 million dollars,

I'd have called it boring and backed out.

I guess it's now my turn to state my demands.

We'll play in front of others...

and you'll let me win.

That's my condition.

You want me to lose on purpose?

I can't do that.

Never once in my life...

did I play Go to lose.

I'll pretend I didn't hear that.

Excuse me.

She's a true player.

A true competitor...

must fly into a rage when asked to lose on purpose.

A player...

with pride and a lively spirit for the game.

How alluring.

If she'd agreed to it right away,

I'd have gotten bored and called it quits.

I'm cheeky, aren't I?

Well?

Do you think you can reach this deal?

A truly competitive person...

would make a move in their favor.

The chairwoman urgently wants to see you. Come to this address.

This is Mr. Lee Ju Ho...

on Yungcheon City Council. You must know him.

Is what he told me true?

Ye Nam and Mayor Do caused an accident,

the police officer investigating the case went missing,

and that officer's daughter...

is in your care, he says.

I'd been watching...

what happened surrounding that boat in the days after.

Something incredible went down, as I expected.

I can't let such a mayor handle Yungcheon's development.

And I can't stand watching him...

side with Jogwang Group for personal gain.

I want him to leave the office...

and for a new mayor to carry out the project in a fair manner.

That's my condition...

for keeping quiet about Director Wi's involvement.

You did the right thing by coming to me.

I will speak to her so she understands.

That guy.

Deal with him.

We must wrap things up well.

The good days aren't far off.

That officer's daughter.

So far,

I waited to see how you'd deal with her.

How long will you keep a spark...

that is bound to flare up?

- When the time is right... - Didn't I...

tell you once?

The extent of things I did...

just to get to my position?

You'll never imagine everything.

I locked two children...

in a wooden box.

That dark, cold place must've been so frightening.

Can you even imagine?

Sometimes, their mother...

appears in my dream.

Even if I were to go back to that time,

I would make the same choice.

This is what I am, Ms. Jang.

If you...

don't take care of her,

I'll have no choice but to do it myself.

I understand, Chairwoman Kim.

- What are you doing? - My gosh.

Why are you here so late?

Well, you know that stray cat we saw last time?

I came to feed it.

But it's not here.

Follow me.

This cat belongs to that convenience store.

What? She's not a stray cat with no owner?

She's known for wandering around the convenience store...

and making people buy her food.

From what I heard, that convenience store makes quite a profit from her.

You've been fooled.

Goodness.

It's all right. I found out after about six months.

You're even more foolish than me.

Who cares? I make a lot of money.

Feeding a cat is no problem.

I guess. You don't have anyone to spend money on dates,

so all that money just piles up in your bank account, right?

That's not true. I spend a lot of money.

Look at this nice suit I have on.

Sorry?

If you...

don't take care of her,

I'll have no choice but to do it myself.

But...

why are you throwing this away?

Looking at this signed ball, you must've been a passionate fan.

Is it from a famous player?

(Yoon Sun Woo)

If I didn't quit playing baseball,

I could've really become a famous player.

Why did you quit?

I found another dream.

I became a lawyer...

and was able to stay beside someone I wanted to protect.

She even made you change your dream.

Helping me will be nothing for Ms. Jang then.

Did something happen?

When you played Go today...

She wants me to lose on purpose.

So? You can't do it?

What?

Are you saying, what's the big deal about losing a silly game of Go?

It's just a game of placing rocks on a board.

Is that what you're saying?

I should've just gone home.

Why did I feel sorry for a stuffed cat with an owner?

That's been on my shelf untouched for a long time.

It took me this long to throw it away.

I know how hard it must be for you.

To me, baseball is a memory,

but to you, Go is your current life.

I pretended like I was okay, but this feels quite sad.

Don't do it if you don't want to.

You don't have to do it.

Miss Kim.

Where have you been all this time?

I told you to close the shop and just stay home.

Thank you for giving me a family...

who was a lonely orphan.

When we take our child out of the hospital,

let's raise her to become a healthy woman.

I'll raise your son like my own child too.

Wait. I bought some clothes our daughter can wear...

when we take her out of the hospital.

You can trust me.

I'll work day and night...

and receive all the government funds we can get.

Dad. Were you looking at that again?

Why did you take it out again?

Let's put it back in, okay?

Here.

They say your body remembers an important match.

If you play against the top Go player in this country and lose,

what will you do then?

Your body will remember how you failed.

If you only seek games you can win,

you'll have to retire soon.

Bring me my drink. The one I always have.

I'll go raise the stakes.

Let's go.

This way.

This will be over by a half-point.

Even shamans can't predict who will win or lose.

Don't look forward to it.

Why are you stalling so much?

Are you afraid you'll lose?

She lost.

I thought she was an amateur competition winner, but she sucks!

- Darn. - Why?

- There wasn't much to see. - Really?

It was decided by a half-point.

What a close game.

Well, I guess you weren't bluffing after all.

What do you want?

She kept her promise that she'd let you win.

Now, I believe it's your turn.

I don't know what you're talking about.

I beat her fair and square. But what? She let me win?

Hey.

Should I explain?

Exactly how I beat you?

Well? Shall I drink it all or not?

Why are you drinking mine? That's disgusting.

Were you going to get it refilled while we counted the points?

You must've been very nervous.

The cameras caught everything.

If word of this gets out,

you'll be buried for good here.

Obviously.

Then you'll have to play with the lowlifes.

Can you handle that?

Okay.

Okay.

Give me your number.

I need to know to make Jogwang bid lower.

This is Deo Group's bid.

How did an amateur Go player...

end up doing this?

Well done.

Which car will you take?

I'll ride with...

Mr. Yoon.

But you can join us.

I just lost a match.

I think I need you both to console me tonight.

Get over here, both of you.

Where did you get that?

Some fool threw this away and I thought it's a waste.

I asked the convenience store owner to keep it...

for a while in return for the sales and he did.

You forget people with people...

and a loss with a victory.

Let's see.

If I win today,

I'll make them pay.

What will you do?

Let's play catch first.

We can play over there. Come over.

Let's go.

What should I do with her?

They announce the preferred bidder today, right?

Yes. It'll be announced at 9pm.

At Kim Yeo Ok's party to celebrate her staying on as chairwoman,

I will steal the spotlight.

Is he safe in the hospital?

Yes.

He's watched carefully...

and outsiders can't reach him.

If you have...

changed your mind...

I feel sorry for him.

I just feel sorry for him.

Mr. Lee.

Mr. Lee.

He was dealt with.

Hello.

Excuse me.

Lee Hui Seob is dead.

It wasn't Jogwang.

Only the chairwoman and we know where he is.

It was Chairwoman Kim.

Congratulations.

- Congratulations. - Thank you.

(Secret Boutique)

Mom turned my whole life into a lie...

and then took my dad from me.

I'll make her regret it.

Jogwang Group was selected as the preferred bidder.

Talk to me! You have a plan?

Will you come outside? I have something to say.

- I'll get divorced. - Why say that so suddenly?

Thinking that Jogwang Group will topple Deo...

makes me ambitious for something of my own.

What happened to you?

I think my heart froze cold.
