Your promise of two thirds of the reconstruction stake...

the construction rights and the co-development rights...

I'll accept it.

We will begin the ceremony now.

Please welcome the groom!

Have my car ready in front of the hotel.

Cancel the wedding and return the gifts.

If anyone's hungry, they can stay for food.

The ceremony is starting soon. If the father-of-the-groom leaves the ceremony...

My daughter-in-law died!

Min Jae's wife... took her last breath.

Let's go to the hospital, Min Jae.

My poor son... we should send her off.

Make up an excuse and delay the ceremony for five minutes. Hurry.

Yes, sir.

Min Jae!

Starting today, my wife is Yoo Jin.

Starting today, Yoo Jin is your daughter-in-law.

I, Choi Dong Jin, for all 60 years of life, looked directly at every person, regardless of who it was.

But these days... I can't even look the driver in the eyes.

'He's selling his daughter-in-law to get money for his business!'

I can hear their mockery even in my sleep.

Let's stop here.

Getting married on a flower palanquin on the day of your wife's death...

is not something a man should do.

Please go to the ceremony hall. The parents are waiting.

Min Jae...

I'm embarrassed that you're my son.

You shouldn't say that.

When Chairman said he'd take care of the negotiation on the new city four years ago...

when you were going to China for a business trip...

I said to you that you were being tricked.

If you refused the trip to China, the emergency executive meeting wouldn't have happened...

there wouldn't have been a forced eviction...

and there wouldn't have been all those injuries and deaths.

After Yong Jae left

I told you not to reveal the fake exports, because we'd get hurt.

But you exposed it anyway...

and thanks to you, we got pushed out of Sung Jin Group.

If you just listened to me, Father...

Yoon... would still be my wife. And your daughter-in-law, too.

This situation, this marriage...

you're the one who made it happen.

Min Jae...

are you embarrassed of your father?

Even now... even now...

you're a burden, Father.

I'll take care of my precious daughter-in-law's funeral.

After the funeral, I'll head straight to the mortuary...

It won't be good if Yoo Jin finds out about it.

My parents-in-law won't like it, either.

She doesn't have her parents or any relative who can be contacted...

Who's going to send her off?

Where is the hospital?

I said this earlier.

I'll accept the promise that you'd give me two thirds of the reconstruction stake...

the construction rights, and co-development rights.

We should help each other when we are busy...

as business partners.

Do you, Mr. Choi Min Jae take Miss Jung Yoo Jin as your bride

and promise that you will love her and cherish her

and be with her until death do you part?

I do.

Take care of Yoon's send-off... with this.

The Group's secretary office will figure out the burial and the last trip...

I sent back the flower bouquet that Chairman of Sung Jin Group Choi Dong Sung sent.

Choi Min Jae told me...

not to be a burden on anyone related to Sung Jin Group.

Because they're not family anymore.

Min Jae who left Yoon because he needed money...

Jang Tae Joo who's taking care of the funeral of someone he's never seen for the reconstruction...

I don't think I should be getting advice from you two.

I remember.

Was it four years ago?

You were giving back the price of your father's life that came after two months of delay...

You were standing next to me that day...

But you're standing next to Min Jae today.

What else can I do?

The ones I hate have all the money in the world.

Thank you.

I felt uncomfortable after I received your call.

Thank you for letting me know what kind of person you are. Really.

Three candidates for the association chief resigned today.

It's a fight between the two, Jo Pil Doo and Park Jae Han.

We'll put all the resources that Sung Jin Group has to the candidate Park Jae Han.

Mr. Jang Tae Joo, you will be very hurt.

It will be hard for you to get up again.

A very strong wind will blow.

Be careful.

Send Director Kim to Sotheby's.

Elendiouf's works are out. Buy half of them.

But Elendiouf is not popular in Korea...

He'll win the grand prize at the New York Pop Artist Contest.

I already talked to the sponsor.

I got rid of the couch in the living room.

What to do...

My husband who sleeps on the couch on the day back from the honeymoon... funny.

I wasn't upset at my husband, but I was at the couch.

Come home early. I miss you, Min Jae.

Let's change how we call each other.

I miss you, honey.

Me too.

I miss you.

[Plan for the election of the association chief in District 23 reconstruction]

I can move half of the association managers.

The problem is the members...

but Jo Pil Doo is a hired gangster...

Mr. Jang Tae Joo...

CEO Jang... President Jang...

Let's make it President Jang.

If we clean up the identity of Jo Pil Doo, we can win this election.

The runaway teenagers he interviewed when he was a guidance counselor...

now work for Jo Pil Doo.

We can spin it by saying that they turned their lives around...

The tablet for my wife...

did you have it made?

If you don't like it, change it.

Once the association chief election is over...

let's settle our accounts through Jo Pil Doo.

Let's have lunch. There is a good French restaurant nearby.

I don't eat with people like you.

Give your order to Jo Pil Doo

to follow my order without questioning anything related to the association election.

Do you regret... deciding to partner with me on the reconstruction?

Probably will for the rest of my life.

I'll regret it anyway, so I might as well make a lot of money.

Enjoy your lunch.

People are saying things about popping champagne too early...

but isn't it better to have champagne ready to pop?

Father, the GDP this year is $8700.

When the GDP goes over 10,000 in a few years...

the have-nots will have a different scale of spending.

Sung Jin Card... spend it for your precious ones. How's that?

Who would you use it for, dear?

Father, Tae Sung and Yoo Ahn have sales from the card business...

The card business was rejected in the executive meeting last week.

Please pass me the water, Eun Jung.

Four groups have already launched a card business.

Banks and foreign card companies are preparing to launch, too.

The market's saturated.

Wow, thanks to my Seo Yoon, I'm learning a lot.

Your Father is having dinner.

Enough at the dinner table.

I have no other choice.

He doesn't come to the company or doesn't let me in his library.

The card business is a cash cow.

We can start gathering members from Sung Jin Department Store...

'Repay the country through industrial development.'

That's the motto of Sung Jin Group.

We started with cement after the war.

For 40 years, it was construction, chemistry, heavy industry...

We grew by focusing on the key industries of the country.

Father, for the credit card, once we lay out the groundwork, the profit will...

Regardless of the amount of the profit...

I never gambled on money.

Father, please reconsider the card business...

It's time to take a walk.

Would you like to see the backyard today?

The zinnias have bloomed nicely.

Seo Yoon, take a look at my thesis.

I like the context, but not the sentences.

Don't ask for help, Sung Jae.

I trusted my younger sister once.

I talked to her when I was having a hard time

and poured out my concerns...

The back of my head still hurts.

What did you tell Father?

Executives of the Construction are going crazy asking me to buy them drinks.

Does a 29-year-old girl with a skirt on know anything about concrete or grass?

There isn't a single manager that has a skirt on in the construction industry.

Good luck with the reconstruction.

If someone snatches away the rice bowl you stole from me... you'll be in trouble.

Eun Jung... Won Jae will go on a business trip to Europe next month.

He'll check the sales networks in France and Italy

and figure out the investment conditions in Czech and Poland.

It'll take about two months. Would you like to go with...

I don't want to. Have a good trip, honey.

My little sister, which tie should I wear?

You should pick the color of my suit, too.

Sung Jae...

Vice Chairman of Sung Jin Group is going on a business trip he doesn't even know about.

I'm really excited, shit...

His appetite has increased.

He had three midnight snacks yesterday.

I heard tossing early in the morning so I got up...

he was wearing a suit.

He asked me...

who I was.

He said he seemed to be in the wrong house, he had to go to his house.

Mom...

Seo Yoon...

let's ask Jung Yoon and Dong Hui to come home tomorrow.

With Won Jae and Eun Jung in one room, tell them about Father's illness...

No, Mom.

Family members should help.

Having conversations will help slow down the progression.

Jung Yoon wants the department store.

Dong Hui is hoping for the auto branch when he retires from the prosecution.

Won Jae... you know about him.

He thinks everything with Father's name on it is his.

If Eun Jung finds out about Father's illness...

she might ask for a divorce.

Jung Yoon, Dong Hui, Won Jae... they will fight with one another...

trying to grab as much as they can.

Eun Jung will side with whoever will give her more alimony.

Seo Yoon... they're not like that.

Shin Il Group, Jo Young Group, Dae Min Group...

that's how they collapsed. Fights among the brothers and lawsuits among the sisters...

We can't show ourselves like that to Dad before he leaves, Mom.

Please help me, Mom.

We won't be able to hide it for too long.

Eun Jung's home all day.

I'm going to make Sung Jin Construction a holding company.

With the shares of Sung Jin Construction from you, Dad and me...

the ownership of Sung Jin Group will be secure.

After we do that... we'll tell them.

Portions for Jung Yoon, Dong Hui and Won Jae...

Dad already had things planned for them.

I heard about the reconstruction from Won Jae...

If you fail at the reconstruction...

it'll be hard for you to hold on to the President title of Sung Jin Construction.

Until I set up Sung Jin Construction as a holding company...

I won't lose out to anyone.

And I will definitely win the reconstruction bid, too.

After graduation, I'll send Sung Jae to graduate school.

Mom...

He likes books and he's talented in writing.

Seo Yoon, while Father is around

don't show the bad side of Jung Yoon, Dong Hui, Won Jae and Eun Jung to him.

Do your best, Seo Yoon.

Mom...

I'm sorry... that I didn't tell you about Father's illness.

I have a favor to ask, Seo Yoon.

If he thinks that I know about his illness and am worried about it...

he will be more upset.

Let's pretend that I don't know anything.

So he can yell at me about how bitter the medicine is...

and nag me for being too slow on our walk.

I wonder why he walks so fast when he takes a walk...

Why he is in such a hurry...

Why he is going ahead leaving me behind...

Thank you.

There is a college in Seoul...

maybe three, four high schools outside of Seoul...

Sung Jin Academy will become yours.

Construction shares are in it.

When my Sung Jae becomes the director of the board...

I'll add my shares in the scholarship foundation to that...

When my Sung Jae becomes the Chairman of the Group...

we'll have to change the portrait.

Mom...

When I graduate, I'm thinking of going to the U.S. to study...

I... prayed for ten months...

that my baby would be born healthy. I prayed that it would be a boy.

Sung Jae, Sung Jin Construction is your father's company.

You know what happened to Chung Ma Construction.

Chung Ma Apartments collapsed in the middle of construction.

A lot of people got hurt.

There was a problem with cement.

I lost my parents in the middle of the war...

I worked on Sung Jin Cement with my bare hands for ten years.

Seo Yoon, I was scared.

I wasn't sure if I could start from the beginning with my bare hands again.

Dad...

Dong Jin was at the National Intelligence Service at the time.

He was dragged away to Namsan, then released after ten days.

He took the blame for poor construction as the President of Chung Ma Construction.

I ran to the door after hearing the door bell.

I opened the door...

he saw my face...

he touched my face...

then he collapsed...

and he left like that.

I visited her a week after the funeral.

Whether with money or whatever else... I just wanted to help.

She was crying...

in a room with no heat.

In that freezing room... without even turning on the light... in a corner...

I went for him first.

I threw myself at that bastard who killed your father.

I knew... that you were growing inside me.

I knew that your father Bae Young Han left you with me.

I committed a sin...

but thankfully, heaven gave me a gift.

Your Mom and Sung Jae.

She's an angel to you and me.

After I leave, take care of Mom, Seo Yoon.

Yes, Dad.

Don't forget, Sung Jae...

the hands that embraced you

killed your father.

Yes, Mom.

The election for the association chief will be held at Jangchung Gymnasium in a week.

The total number of the association members is 3124...

Jang Tae Joo's camp and ours both have 500 each with powers of attorney.

I expect 2,000 association members to participate in the election.

Jo Pil Doo... Park Jae Han...

- Did you say he was a professor? - Yes, he retired last year.

He is trustworthy with fine character.

- We'll easily win the election... - Trustworthy with fine character...

How many times have you seen someone like that win an election?

Jo Pil Doo was a hired hand for building demolition.

Rally everyone in the election camp to advertise the fact.

If necessary, let the media know too. Hurry.

We'll clean up his image.

'A match between a gangster of demolition and a college professor.'

I'll break that frame.

President Jo Pil Doo... the debt between us...

Let's settle it today.

I believe it was settled that day.

It's not over until I say it's over.

After President Choi Min Jae got pushed out four years ago...

it was the end of Hang Gang Service, too.

I couldn't even feed the kids that used to receive bonuses.

I have five left... in my family.

Sang Goo, when was the last time you had a new suit made?

Three years ago.

This is my life.

I can't even remember the smell of hard liquor and makeup.

Thanks to you.

Make me the association chief. If I lose the election...

I'll be the one nailing the coffin of Jang Tae Joo.

Continue.

Change your manner of speaking first.

- Humble and polite. - Smile!

How is it that you look exactly like a gangster?

Hair, necktie, speech, smile, eyes...

Please take charge of turning him into a proper man, Director Yoon.

I'm so busy changing someone else's man...

I have no time to work on my own man.

Now that I see it, there's so much of work to do.

I can't get married now. I might have a son like him.

- Hey! - Smile!

If you want to drink hard liquor with a woman in a new suit...

then do what my Tae Joo tells you to do, Mr. Jo Pil Doo!

Okay, let's set a new frame.

A match between a capable reconstruction expert and an incompetent college professor.

Hello! I'll do my best! I'm number two!

Not aa gangster in demolition for the last ten years...

but promote him as an expert

who took care of issues in reconstruction and redevelopment.

I'm sure there will be cases of people refusing to move out...

causing delay to the reconstruction.

It's not something that can be taken care of by someone who used to teach kids.

Change the election pledge.

We'll provide aid for the moving cost of 3,000 households at no interest.

Managing Director, it's too much of a financial burden on us.

What do I do? The election is neck and neck...

and Won Jae is playing golf with the executives of the Construction right now.

If we lose the association election...

what do you think will happen, Director Park?

But the loss will increase...

Pledge that we'll increase the floor space ratio from 300 percent to 400 percent.

Managing Director.

If we switch the rest to ordinary sales...

the 12-pyung apartment will become 32-pyung...

and they can even profit in the tens of millions.

This will move the association members.

We got it! The borough urban development office will announce to the media today.

Smile!

Ask him like this... 'Dear Candidate Park Jae Han...'

Dear Candidate Park Jae Han...

there was an announcement from the borough today.

There will never be an increase in the floor space ratio.

Regarding the loan for the shared fees and moving expenses at no interest...

how will you fund them?

Well... that's...

Our frame is complete.

Jo Pil Doo, a reconstruction expert who can be trusted...

Park Jae Han, an incompetent college professor who can't be trusted.

Looks like you'll be drinking hard liquor, Mr. Jo Pil Doo.

We won the association chief election.

Set up an appointment with the Secretary of Civil Affairs.

If we can stir up the Blue House, we can take care of the floor to space ratio issue.

It's a matter of changing a real estate policy.

Since the civilian government came in, the supply has been controlled.

The Blue House won't help with the floor to space issue.

What would Dad do... in this case?

He bought people.

Director Kang Ho Yeon...

He used to be the closest one to President Bae Young Han of Chung Ma Construction.

If he didn't help when the apartment collapsed...

our Sung Jin Group would have collapsed, too.

I'm sure there is someone like Director Kang Ho Yeon around Jang Tae Joo and Jo Pil Doo.

- Look into it. - You have to meet them yourself.

Managing Director, you can't walk the muddy road without getting your feet dirty.

I was called into the hearing of the Fifth Republic...

I even got investigated for bribing union executives and tax evasion!

I grew Sung Jin Construction!

Does a 29-year-old girl wearing a skirt know anything about concrete or grass?

I will meet them, whoever it is.

Hey, is reconstruction the same as playing jacks?

Is construction the same as playing jump rope?

Yoo Jin, you should know well from your art business...

The ones who can't paint have watercolor all over their hands.

Seo Yoon is exactly like that right now.

It has the aroma of cucumber. Is this salmon from Norway?

Wow, you know your salmon.

I brought the chef here with double the pay.

I was eating salmon cutlet in Paris and my goodness...

it was soft like the skin of a virgin.

I made a special order to the chef for you, Yoo Jin.

Please have some, Eun Jung.

Enjoy.

I can't eat.

I'm allergic to salmon.

It's fine. I don't know much about him, either.

We're family now, so please speak casually, Eun Jung.

I will, my new cousin-in-law.

I heard the card business was rejected.

- Seo Yoon blocked it... - Of course.

Once you set up a card business, cash will come in...

and you will buy shares with the cash...

then Seo Yoon will be in trouble.

So I've been thinking, Min Jae...

and Yoo Jin...

Well... it's... well...

He's here to ask for a loan.

You must remember... was it five years ago? When you were fighting with my husband...

He set up a fake private company to gather up his business fund...

Father was against it, so he took it over with a loan...

Then Father had no choice but to write a power of attorney at the end.

I guess that's what he's going to do this time, too.

Hey hey!

He dragged me out for the first time in three years to keep you company...

but I can't be nice to you thinking about my late cousin-in-law...

but I did tell her what you wanted to say.

Min Jae, if I just lay out the groundwork first, what could Father do?

I think it'll be tough.

Min Jae...

I saw my father-in-law yesterday.

He said he'd review it if there is a collateral...

The 7 percent of Sung Jin Construction that you own...

that should be enough to get the 200 billion that you need to start the card business.

A stock based loan is a bit...

Min Jae, I'm sorry.

I can't go to the London Philharmonic concert with you this weekend.

Seo Yoon wants to see me. She feels bad for not coming to the wedding...

She said she has something to ask me... I wonder if it's urgent...

Seo Yoon called me twice just today.

Min Jae, I'll deposit the shares.

Get me 200 billion by tomorrow.

It'll go well. I'll help you, Won Jae.

Please go ahead. We're having coffee before heading out.

Wow, it's good to be newlyweds.

Min Jae, just have one child. You just need one son in the family.

It's a headache to have a lot of children.

- We'll get going first, Yoo Jin. - Good night, Eun Jung.

See you next time, new cousin-in-law.

Last year, with the artist Park Soo Geun's painting...

I had a loss of seven billion won because of a counterfeit ring.

I hated them more than anyone in the world...

but not anymore, after today.

That woman is at the top.

- Seo Yoon's call... - It'll come some day.

I love you.

Thank you.

It'll come some day, right?

The day you tell me you love me and I answer by saying 'thank you'.

I hope the day comes soon.

Good smell...

Tae Joo... is two years my junior from the same high school.

And we've been business partners for the last four years.

It's not the kind of relationship that can be bought with a few pennies.

I'm curious.

Why would you run over here after just one call with that close of a relationship?

That college student Park Chan Ho who throws baseballs...

he just got paid $1.2 million and went to the LA Dodgers.

Well, I'm curious what my worth is...

Thirty silver coins.

What Judas received was not the price of his worth, it was the price of Jesus.

What you'll receive is also Jang Tae Joo's worth.

My Tae Joo... must be very expensive.

How much will you pay?

There is a story in the Arabian Nights...

When you rub a lamp, a fairy named Genie will appear.

He builds a palace and moves a mountain overnight.

That lamp is in front of you right now.

The construction for the express railway has started.

Construction of seven train stations and shopping malls...

We're making it happen.

If you gave me the proxy right to sell those...

then maybe I could give it some thought.

Sure.

That's a profit in the tens of billions...

Director Park.

Please prepare a contract for the proxy right to sell.

Set up a paper company.

After the contract period, transfer it or sell the lots yourself... whatever you want to do.

The election is 11 o'clock tomorrow morning.

Come to my office by 9 o'clock.

You know very well what you should bring with you, right?

It has a nice aroma.

If we lose the election, my son-in-law...

I mean, Vice Chairman Choi Won Jae will summon a Construction executive meeting.

If they disobey Chairman as a group...

- We'll win. - We have three minutes left, Managing Director.

We'll have a celebration party at Young Bin Gwan in our building.

She will come.

Tae Joo, something's weird about Seol Hee.

She got a call in the middle of dinner last night.

She was so shocked, she just said, 'Yes? Yes?' and dropped some radish...

She was eying me then she left.

Since then, I haven't been able to reach her.

She must be busy.

Even if she's really busy...

Seol Hee's not the type to leave a half full bowl of black bean noodles.

She's not answering her cellphone either!

The battery went out.

Choon Ho, if you can't reach a friend, you should be worried...

not suspicious of her. Never!

Seol Hee, where have you been...

I don't know...

My heart is taking a right turn, but my feet are taking a left turn.

Crazy bitch.

We have a projection of the election results.

We'll win with over 60 percent of the vote.

Congratulations, my Tae Joo.

Choon Ho, get rid of all the kettles in front of me for at least a year.

Really crazy bitch.

We should have a celebration party tonight for winning the reconstruction bid.

Who would it be between the two?

A guest has arrived.

What you promised me yesterday...

It'll be deposited today.

You and six of your colleagues...

Everyone will be hired

and work as bodyguards that belong to the strategic planning division.

Hired hitmen, setting up a gambling site, and drug dealing from the past...

he dealt crystal meth.

That's enough to make Jo Pil Doo resign.

Resign? Why is Jo Pil Doo resigning?

We have an hour before the election. Choon Ho, until I get to the site...

Let's postpone the election.

Block the gym and don't let the association members in...

I folded my cards.

I submitted my resignation to the election committee.

Call your guys and tell them to get the resignation letter back!

My guys... went to Sung Jin Construction...

to make a living for themselves.

Hired hitmen, gambling, and meth...

If I don't resign, I get at least 10 years.

Even if I win, it'll be nullified...

We lost everything.

I worked like a dog for the last four years.

I lost all of that money because of you, Jo Pil Doo!

This is Jo Pil Doo.

Sir...

Be informal. We're not family anymore.

- Brother...

Did Sung Jin Construction give you a lot?

Chul Jae's mother is sick, give him more.

I'll come see you in a few years.

When little brothers make a mistake, I should teach them.

I'm sorry.

Let's settle the account between you and me here.

Tae Joo...

Now we are...

What do we do?

Candidate Park Jae Han won the election for the association chief.

He won 57 percent of the support from the vote.

Apply for the management and disposition permit.

Before the change of the borough chief and the mayor in next year's election...

hurry up and start the construction.

I told you only one thing...

to meet the person you need in person.

And you met with two people.

Yoon Seol Hee and Oh Sang Goo.

Thank you.

You must be worried about Eun Jung...

and Won Jae is your son-in-law...

but you followed Dad's wish.

When Chairman passes away...

will you give my daughter Eun Jung back?

She used to smile a lot.

I haven't seen her smile in the last few years.

If she wasn't the daughter-in-law of Chairman...

I would've brought her back a long time ago.

Please, I'm asking you.

This is Choi Seo Yoon.

Seo Yoon, Won Jae is going into Father's library.

Your reconstruction must be going well...

He asked me to meet my Dad to help with the card business, so I said no.

It's been a while since he cursed at me.

Tell Mom...

She went to the scholarship foundation. And Sung Jae went to school...

What to do... I don't see caregivers either.

Won Jae opened the door to the library.

I'm coming right now, Eun Jung.

Leave, Won Jae.

Father, if Myung Hoon does something wrong, I scold him and hit him.

If your son does something wrong, tell him what he did wrong in person...

The dinner table is enough for your temper tantrums.

I told you to discuss with Seo Yoon on business matters.

Father!

Leave the library, Won Jae. Talk with me.

What would the mighty little sister teach a big brother this time?

Seo Yoon, I'm going to learn from Father directly.

Won Jae...

Father, even the security guards at the company bow to Seo Yoon first these days.

Yesterday, my car and Seo Yoon's car arrived at the same time...

but those jerks parked Seo Yoon's car first...

Won Jae...

The subcontract problems when Seo Yoon was a director at Construction... I can't even begin.

I didn't say a word because she's my sister.

But whatever Seo Yoon told you...

I'm sorry.

Father.

I'm sorry, Won Jae.

Father...

I should have scolded you then.

Hanging out in groups with 'seven princes,' 'heirs to the throne'...

Actresses and marijuana...

Won Jae, I thought I was doing it for you...

when I blocked the news from the papers and television.

Father.

I should have hit you with a stick back then.

Granting subcontracts after receiving bribes...

poor construction, accidents at construction sites...

Won Jae, when I blocked and hid things so that employees wouldn't find out...

I thought I was doing you a favor.

It was my fault, Won Jae.

Father!

On your first day of junior high school, your mother passed away from a car accident...

and you also stayed in the hospital for over a year, right?

You saw your Mom leave right in front of your eyes...

I felt so bad about the shock you must've had...

so I only thought of removing rocks from your path.

I raised you wrong, Won Jae.

You are 40 years old.

It's too late to fix and use it, Won Jae.

Father, I... well, please give me one more chance...

Father, I can really do well with this card business.

Discuss it with Seo Yoon. Leave now.

Have a sweet potato before you go.

If you're going to carry around the shoebox, you need to eat breakfast, Dong Jin.

When the war is over, go back to school, Dong Jin.

A man should hold a pen in his hand.

Father.

How are you going to live your whole life with a shoe brush in your hand?

Have one more sweet potato. I had one already, Dong Jin.

Father.

Dad!

Dad...

I don't remember.

I wonder what Won Jae saw...

that he left this here?

I'll bring back Won Jae's shares deposited in Daehan Bank as collateral.

I'll finish setting up the holding company this year, Dad.

Please, Seo Yoon.

Yes, Dad.

I need three billion just for three months.

I'm going to secure a shopping mall site near Saeman River.

If you would just introduce me to the executives of credit union...

I'll take care of the rest...

I've seen that face before.

About ten years ago...

the day before merging corporations...

chairmen of big corporations begged me when I was just a secretary at the Blue House.

They asked me to save them.

They had the same face as yours now.

I thought it was just a rumor that your company was in trouble...

Congressman Kim, I'll give you half of the profit from the sale of the shopping mall lot.

You pay in advance for political funds and prostitutes.

I paid for everything you needed to manage your district.

Political donations to your party and your daughter's study abroad...

President Jang.

Do you know how to speed up building a bridge?

Build from both ends.

One stone from this side, and one from the other side.

You should put down the foundation first.

Could you get me a wet towel?

Of course.

Right now... the condition at the company...

If I talk to her...

I might find a solution.

If you leave here right now, something good will happen...

to you and me.

I'll introduce you to the credit union people in a few days.

I apologize for asking for too much.

I'll come see you again when I can be helpful.

- Let's go. - Tae Joo!

Where are we going?

Give me the car key. I'll meet with Congressman Kim...

Don't meet with him.

I let all the employees go yesterday.

We received a foreclosure notice for the office security deposit today.

- Tae Joo, tomorrow... - I know.

Your house and your mother's noodle shop will be auctioned off!

Let's give Congressman Kim what he wants.

What is it? What did Congressman Kim ask for?

Me?

He works for the country...

so he has a good eye at least.

Crazy bastard.

One fluorescent light in a tiny room...

one light bulb in the kitchen...

one black-and-white TV...

But we paid the same amount for the electricity bill as the house owner.

The owner's house had two rooms...

and they used a rice cooker.

They even used two fans in the summer.

Mom turned off the lights in the room and the kitchen at nine o'clock.

She wanted to tell the owner... that we didn't use electricity.

I didn't like the dark room, so I came here often when I was in junior high.

I thought... 'some day I want to own all the lights over there.'

So I wonder why my Tae Joo didn't get on his knees in front of Congressman Kim?

If I have to get on my knees anyway...

Seol Hee, I'll only kneel to one person.

And it's not Congressman Kim.

This is Jang Tae Joo.

Why don't we have a cup of coffee?

I don't see a store here. Why don't you come here and we can go together?

Where are you?

I went to Eden.

- Choon Ho told me this place... - It's not a place for you.

You came to my wedding, right President Jang?

Because I needed you then.

What about now?

All the money you earned from auctions, sales, and development over the last four years...

I believe it's all gone now.

You have a bank loan, too.

Your house and the noodle shop are collateralized...

I think you need me more right now.

Am I wrong?

Should I suggest to purchase the shopping mall site together?

Should I ask for a loan of three billion through Daehan Bank?

One billion... no, should I ask to lend me just a hundred million?

I thought about it...

But I met with my Father here...

I can't shake hands with you.

I'm sorry.

Mr. Jang Bong Ho...

I am very sorry.

A very long fight will begin.

I need someone who could help from outside.

Look for someone else.

You're the only one...

who defeated me.

Chairman Choi Dong Sung of Sung Jin Group...

He decides on trillions of investments with one signature...

and moves billions of cash with one word.

The owner of the department store changes in the middle of dinner...

Even after losing tens of billions, a scolding from the Father will be the end of it.

I came from there.

And I'm going back.

Tae Joo...

let's go together...

to the golden empire.
