(Episode 3)

What's wrong?

This is ridiculous.

What?

If this gets out,

it won't be just Steel. The entire group will go under.

Take this with you.

What?

If it gets out that you leaked it, you'll be in danger.

I can't let you get hurt.

Get going. Now.

He should focus on work. How dare he pretend to be a dad?

Kwang Il!

I almost missed you.

What are you doing here?

I wanted to eat with you.

Your hotel's steak is famous.

Sorry, but I have plans.

Why do you keep avoiding me?

Why won't you take my calls?

Why are you being like that to me?

What did I do wrong?

Ji Eun.

I'm not interested in you,

so stop it. It's annoying.

Ji Eun!

What brings you here?

She's so absentminded.

(Auditing Department)

How far did she get?

What's wrong?

Aren't you getting in?

Yes, sir.

We found the leader.

Who is it?

Kim Yoo Wol. He's an accountant from Samjin.

He's the headache I notified you of previously.

You...

dropped this.

- Thank you. - Thanks.

Seriously.

She's still as popular as always.

Please give me my phone.

I'll hold it. You're carrying a lot already.

No. Give me that. It looks heavy.

It's fine.

Please give me my phone.

Let's go.

This is what we found on Kim Yoo Wol.

I told you to monitor him closely.

What were you doing that you created this mess?

I'm sorry, sir.

Bring him to me.

What do you plan to do?

I need to stop him.

Whistleblowing? How dare he?

Yes, sir.

Also,

Accounting just called.

Mr. Choi Kwang Il had Ms. Yoon bring him the secret ledgers.

- He did? - Yes, sir.

Given the current situation, I thought you should know.

Okay.

Send security to room 304 right now.

The auditing department.

Get rid of everyone from Samjin,

and bring me Kim Yoo Wol.

It's the vice chairman's order. Get on it now!

I wonder what's going on.

I need to use the restroom.

Okay.

Would you please take these?

She must really have to go.

It's me.

Get out of there right now.

They're headed there to get you.

(Copying files)

Stop!

Stop right there!

Stop!

We said to stop!

Stop!

Stop!

Where is he?

I don't see him.

Yes, sir.

Oh, no.

Get out! We know you're in there.

Who is it? What's your problem?

I'm sorry.

You're so annoying.

(No Smoking)

We're clear.

(Kim Yoo Wol)

June 22, 1970. Hope Orphanage in Jecheon.

It couldn't be.

What's wrong?

Careful.

What's wrong?

It's nothing.

Why...

are you holding that?

You said to study accounting.

That's why I want to see...

what our company's ledgers look like.

These are for authorized personnel only.

Who gave you permission to look at them?

Why?

Is there a secret I can't see?

What secret?

Is that what caused the crisis?

Are we going under?

What's with the flowers?

They're for Ms. Yoon.

Get going.

Don't worry too much. It's nothing serious.

Just go.

Okay.

- Be careful. - I will.

You loser.

Sir!

This is my last warning.

Not Ms. Yoon!

Why that...

Darn it!

Who are you to teach Kwang Il?

Don't go anywhere near him anymore!

(Kim Yoo Wol, Hope Orphanage)

Is it a coincidence?

If it isn't...

Mom!

How do I look?

You went shopping again?

I'll be making lots of money soon. I need to dress nicely.

You should at least wait until you get paid.

You do look pretty though. Who do you take after?

What should I get you once I get paid?

I don't need anything.

Save up and think about getting married.

The three-year-savings accounts have good rates.

Yes, ma'am. I know you used to be an accountant, okay?

A financial institution is good too,

but I had hoped you'd work at a bank.

A bank is the ideal job for a girl.

You can keep working after you get married too.

I told you. Financial institutions pay better.

I'm going to make lots of money from now on.

Wait and see.

Stop obsessing over money.

I said to just find a nice guy and get married.

My generation is different from yours.

You've heard of Gen X.

Your daughter is part of Gen X.

I don't care what generation you are.

Meeting a good man is hitting the jackpot for a woman.

Now that you have a job,

focus on finding a nice guy.

Yes, ma'am. This girl will go now...

and search for a good man.

I saw him by chance one day

My legs felt weak and I collapsed to the ground

My dream guy that I've been searching for all these years

1, 2, 3, 4

It must be nice being young.

Welcome...

It's been a while.

I need to ask you something.

Why are you asking about him?

I wondered if someone I knew...

was that child.

He grew up in an orphanage in Jecheon, right?

- His name... - Did you meet him?

They say you can't hide from your sins.

How amusing.

Was his name Kim Yoo Wol?

Was it?

That's right. Kim Yoo Wol.

I heard the orphanage director named him Yoo Wol.

What is it?

He appeared before me...

as if he wanted to take revenge on me.

He couldn't...

know something, could he?

That Kim Yoo Wol kid.

Why are you asking me?

No, right?

Are you afraid? Now?

He doesn't know, right?

You shouldn't have done something you deserve to be punished for.

Please leave.

The sight of you makes me sick.

You're the one who acted it out.

All I did was suggest it.

You and I...

are accomplices.

If only you hadn't bawled and clung onto me,

that wouldn't have happened.

No one can ever know.

If this ever gets out,

I'll make you pay.

She's just as frustrating as ever.

Hello, Mother.

It's your father's memorial today.

I'm sorry.

I've been busy with work. It slipped my mind.

My gosh.

I don't expect anything from you or your wife.

However,

you should send Kwang Il.

Kwang Il?

He's our eldest grandson.

The eldest grandson should be at his grandfather's memorial.

Make sure to send him.

If you don't, I won't take it any longer.

Please let her know...

I had important plans. Make sure she isn't hurt.

I always do.

But she will be hurt.

What's with all the food?

It's for Mr. Choi Kwang Il's grandfather's memorial.

I guess you'll just send food and skip out again.

You're terrible.

I know your in-laws have nothing,

but it's your father-in-law's memorial.

Shouldn't you be there?

Give this to her as well.

Hello?

My father's memorial is today.

I know.

I was just sending over food for the memorial.

I wish...

you'd go this time.

If you can't,

at least Kwang Il.

Kwang Il?

My mother really wants to see him.

We can't blame her. He's her only grandchild from her son.

I'll talk to him,

but I don't know whether he'll want to go.

Please persuade him for me. Please?

He doesn't listen to me, but he listens to you.

Please make him go, okay?

Please.

Okay.

Please help me out.

I won't go down like this.

Assemblyman, if you'd just talk to KDB for me...

You should run for reelection.

I'll do everything in my power to support...

That punk.

You'll turn your back on me after all this time, is that it?

I brought some sikhye.

Kwang Il's grandfather's memorial is today.

Dad.

I still don't get it.

Why did you have Jung Hee...

marry Tae Joon?

She was your pride and joy.

Why did you let her marry someone...

You had your breakfast, so go home.

Stop flapping your gums.

Okay, I'll go.

Seriously.

(East Sea Restaurant)

Hey.

Why are you spaced out?

Hello.

You were floating on air because Duk Shil got a job.

Why do you look so glum?

Are you sick?

No, I'm not. Are you here to eat?

No, no. I already ate at a funeral.

I saw the light on,

so I thought I'd drop by for a free cup of coffee.

You have to pay for it.

You're so cheap.

I'm a regular.

I need to make you pay because I'm bitter, if nothing else.

What, you too?

Everyone is obsessed with taking my money.

You don't have any children to leave it to.

Why do you save so much?

It'll all go to waste.

What happened? Why are you taking it out on me?

Something happened, right?

Nothing happened.

Fine. I'll pay you, so make me some coffee.

- Tip, too. - Give me a break.

A tip? Who do you think you are?

Gosh.

I think they were monitoring me.

It's not your fault.

We underestimated them.

What do we do now?

You should hide for the time being.

What about you guys?

Don't worry about us.

My father has a container in Gapyeong for farming.

Stay there for the time being.

You need to hide from the storm.

Here. This is the last of the documents I could get.

Sorry...

for giving you such a burden.

Don't be.

It was my choice.

(Letter of Resignation)

- Hello. - Hello.

What's up?

Your grandfather's memorial is today.

So?

I'd like you to go.

Why should I?

What do you mean?

Sorry, but I'm not going.

Why should I go there?

Why should I?

It melts in your mouth.

Yoo Wol will love this.

I'm sure of it.

Hurry on home.

I'm starving to death.

Why aren't you at work?

You said to quit, so I did.

Good.

You're hungry, right? Let's eat.

Ta-da.

Isn't it good?

It's good. It's really good.

Eat up.

Look how haggard you look from working so hard.

You should sell your kimchi.

It's the best I've ever had.

You said before that I should quit my job and study.

But what? Sell my kimchi?

You can multitask.

Sell kimchi during the day and study at night.

How idealistic.

I'm the fool for trusting you and resigning.

Fine. I'll sell my kimchi.

I'll sell radish kimchi and soupy kimchi too.

Satisfied?

Great idea.

Good luck, Shi Wol.

- Let's eat. - Okay.

The person you have reached is not available. Please...

Isn't that Ji Eun?

What is she doing here so late?

Please stop the car.

Ji Eun!

What are you doing here so late?

None of your bees wax.

Are you waiting for Kwang Il?

Don't wait for him.

That's up to me.

He likes someone else.

So stop it now. You'll get hurt.

Let's go. I'll take you home.

Forget it.

Ji Eun?

Yes.

She was waiting for Kwang Il in front of Father's house.

That brat. She should like Min Jae.

What does she like about Kwang Il?

She has no taste in guys.

Min Jae seems to like her a lot.

What's the use?

She isn't interested in him at all.

What's wrong with Kwang Il?

How could he like a secretary instead of Daesong's daughter?

You really can't escape your genes.

What do you mean? What genes?

Your sister.

She rejected all the top eligible bachelors...

and married Tae Joon, a poor accounting manager from the suburbs.

Kwang Il is like that because he takes after his mom.

What? Am I wrong?

Do you think...

Jung Hee loves Tae Joon?

What do you mean?

I just don't see it.

I don't think she loves him.

She couldn't do that if she loved him.

No.

My mother thinks Kwang Il is her real grandson.

To her, he is...

the fourth generation only son of the Choi family.

Her one and only grandson.

I'm sorry.

It's once a year.

Is that so hard?

I know.

It's only once a year,

but it's too hard for me.

You know why I can't bring Kwang Il...

to see Mother.

That's why I said to just send him.

I didn't tell you to go.

Just send Kwang Il.

Kwang Il...

I'm home.

Kwang Il...

Hey, you.

Why didn't you go to Grandma's house?

Just because.

I didn't feel like going.

Honey!

How long will you act like a child?

Why did you kick Ms. Yoon out?

What did she do wrong?

What are you talking about?

Father kicked Ms. Yoon out!

Kwang Il...

The chairman would like to see you.

I hear young accountants are going around...

saying they're going to whistleblow regarding our fraudulent accounting.

Yes.

What did I tell you?

I said you should always be careful and to monitor them closely.

I'm sorry.

Gosh. You should be going after someone else.

Why are you going at Kwang Il?

What will you do?

The accountant.

What should I do?

Like you don't know?

It grew a lot already.

It should be ready to eat next week.

I want to eat one now.

Do you like tomatoes that much?

Yes. It's my favorite fruit.

Or is it a vegetable?

I'm breaking my back every year...

farming tomatoes for you.

Do you really grow tomatoes for me?

Do you think I grow them for me?

Nice. You are so sweet.

It'll do well again this year, too,

so eat as much of your favorite tomatoes as you want.

Yes, sir.

Anyway, are you really not going?

No. I'm not going to work tomorrow,

so I'm going to stay with you tonight...

to celebrate my resignation.

What's wrong? You don't want me to?

Of course, I do.

Then what's with the face?

I thought you'd be all happy.

Well...

I'm going to stay in hiding for a while...

until after the whistleblowing is over.

It's nothing serious, so don't be scared.

It's my fault.

I shouldn't have egged you on.

Why is that your fault?

It was my choice.

Still.

It's not like they'll kill me.

I'll just hide for a bit.

I'll go with you.

- What? - Go with me.

We'll think of it as a trip.

No.

Why not?

Whatever. Regardless, no.

Fine.

But you have to stay with me tonight.

I'm leaving early in the morning.

Whatever.

I rented videos to watch with you tonight.

Fine. Okay.

My grandson...

will become the king...

of the kingdom I build.

Make him...

a king.

That is why...

I chose you.

You should be going after someone else.

Why are you going at Kwang Il?

Yes, sir.

As always, I will do as you wish.

What movie did you get?

It's a Hong Kong movie. You love those.

Nice. An action flick.

Stephen Chow?

Chow Yun Fat?

Just watch.

What's this?

The video store owner said...

this movie is super popular right now.

You should've just rented "A Better Tomorrow".

That's so old.

Stop watching old movies and watch recent ones.

Okay. Let's watch.

Let's see what recent movies are like.
