(Dear Youth, Get a Goal
and Make It Come True!)

(Dear Youth, Get a Goal
and Make It Come True!)

If you get close to Cho Tae Sub,

you might meet me.

The Grim Reaper?

It's nice to meet you all.
I am Cho Tae Sub.

- Nice to meet you!
- Nice to meet you!

You played a huge role
in leading the party...

to victory in the
presidential election last year.

Over 45 percent of eligible voters
in their 20s voted in the election.

I'd like to hear your thoughts...

on communicating with
the younger generation.

I keep my mouth shut and open my wallet.

I listen to Super Junior
and Lee Hyo Lee's music.

Also, I still read
Guiyeoni's novels in secret...

while constantly pressing Alt-Tab...

because I want to get into your heads.

Just kidding.

You need to be able to
understand other generations...

and respect their cultures without
having to listen to the same music.

Intergenerational communication
should not be forced.

The younger generation...

should feel at ease and
comfortable enough to communicate...

without the older generation
having to open their wallets.

But perhaps, the selfishness
of the older generation,

especially of the privileged,
is preventing us from getting there.

Cutting tuition fees in half.

It was one of the President's
campaign promises.

- Do you think it's doable?
- No!

No.

Our ultimate goal isn't
just cutting them in half.

We want the government
to absorb all tuition fees!

(Dear Youth, Get a Goal
and Make It Come True!)

They say that everyone
has the freedom...

and the right to dream.

But what's the use?

You need an opportunity
to make it happen with ease,

and such opportunities
should be given to everyone fairly.

Every generation's voice
should be heard,

and every voice...

must have the same level of power.

Only then can you make it big
even when you come from nothing.

Dream and put your dreams into action.

That and your hopes...

are the only things
that can protect our society.

The future belongs to those who dream.

My young friends.

Please dream.

Set goals for your future.

You are our present...

and future.

Please protect our future.

Cho Tae Sub is here to help.

- Yes!
- How inspiring!

What a motivational speech!

Cho Tae Sub. This sure won't be easy.

(To Kim Hyo Min,
Our youth are the future)

Thank you.
May I take a picture with you?

Thank you.

Sir, may I get your autograph too?

Sure.

- What is your name?
- Kim Kyu Ri, sir.

- May I get your autograph too?
- I want one too.

- Me too.
- He's so cool.

- You're handsome!
- Thank you.

- You're so cool.
- It's my turn.

- Sir.
- Wait for your turn!

If you had one more life remaining,

would you use it to
arrest Cho Tae Sub again?

Promise me.

Can you make him suffer?

Thank you. I will be sure
to keep my promise.

Okay. Please do.

The Grim Reaper was a member
of Cho Tae Sub's entourage?

- There he is.
- He's coming out.

- Oh, my goodness.
- He's here!

(Dear Youth, Get a Goal
and Make It Come True!)

Me too! I want a photo too!

Ms. Han Ji Hyun, what's next?

We'll check out the constituency
and visit the children's home, sir.

Okay, good.

Han Ji Hyun.

- There he is.
- He's here!

Sir.

It's been a while.
How have you all been doing?

- Good!
- Good!

Let me pick you up.

Oh, boy. Hey, little pumpkin.

You're heavy now.

Just grow up healthy
and happy. Here, careful.

Sir, I made this for you.

- You did? You can put it here.
- Okay.

Thank you, Ye Sung.

I wrote you a letter.

A letter, really?

You have such nice handwriting, Soo Min.

Thank you.

Hold on. That little lady is
standing alone over there.

Hello. We've never met before, have we?

I see. What is your name?

Park Ji Na.

Ji Na? What a pretty name.

How do you like it here?

The director takes
such great care of me.

I see. Come here, Ji Na.

This country will take care of you
as your parents would.

You're not alone.

I'll always...

be rooting for you.

Don't ever forget that, okay?

Promise.

(Assemblyman Cho Tae Sub
Visits Public Welfare Facilities)

(Assemblyman Cho Tae Sub
Visits Public Welfare Facilities)

Han Ji Hyun.

Cho Tae Sub won't just
keep anyone around him.

The fact that I don't know
about her probably means...

Make sure to catch him.

Show him there is
pain in this world too.

(Visited children's homes,
traditional markets...)

Does that mean she died before I did?

(Again My Life)

Thank you. I will be sure
to keep my promise.

- Here, let me pour you one.
- Thank you.

- Should I pour my own drink?
- No, let me.

- Here.
- All the way to the top.

- Cheers.
- Cheers.

This is nice.

My gosh.

Why did Hee Woo go to his lecture?

I didn't think he'd be
Hee Woo's cup of tea.

Smart, cool kids...

always want to know
about both sides of the coin.

Hold on.

Progressives and conservatives.

Like me.

That is not what I meant.

It's just that he...

That man seems like such a hypocrite.

He says one thing
but is thinking another.

- Do you know him personally?
- I don't need to know him.

I can see right through him.

What about me?

You?

You always say what you think.

No surprises.

- And?
- You just need to be charming.

- For real?
- Yes.

My gosh, that's so hard.

By the way, we're classmates.
Just drop the honorifics.

Well, I don't know
how I feel about that, sir.

Besides, you look older
than your age, so I can't.

Why does that matter?

Your mental age is what matters.

I'm forever 14,
still in my 2nd year of middle school.

Okay! Then I really will
drop the honorifics now.

- Okay.
- So we're friends?

Okay, Hee Ah!

Drop the honorifics?
What are you talking about?

Hey, Hee Woo.
Hee Ah and I are friends now.

Why are you so obsessed
with befriending your juniors?

I really don't get it.

Friends, my foot.

You said you were 14.

All right, then. Call me "big sister."

- Big sister.
- Big sister.

- Big sister.
- My big sister, Hee Ah.

"Big sister"?

Hey, age is nothing but a number.

Can we not care about
stuff like that and just be free?

- Hey, let's drink. Come on.
- Okay, let's drink.

- Drink up.
- Cheers.

- Cheers.
- Bottoms up.

Let's go for another drink.

Come on, Hee Woo. I'm not drunk at all.

- I'm sober.
- You're clearly drunk.

- No, come on.
- Get in. It's time to go home.

- I really am sober now.
- Okay, just get in the car.

- Hey, you little...
- Goodness.

Hee Woo.

You know that I'm holding back, right?

You see, I can do
whatever I want with this world.

What should I do?

Should I...

eat it up?

Or should I crush it?

Crush it, tear it down,
or do whatever you want with it.

- Just go home.
- Wait, but...

To Sangdo-dong, please.

Darn, what is this? Goodness.

- You're like an old geezer.
- Okay, bye!

I'm exhausted.

Who are you?

Hey, are you a stalker?

Hey.

Who is he? He's not an ordinary man.

- This is a misunderstanding.
- A misunderstanding?

I saw you following her from the pub.

Like I said, it is a misunderstanding.

Hey, why must you...

make me "misunderstand"
your intentions by following her?

What's your deal?

Kim Hee Woo. Mr. Park?

What are you two doing right now?

My apologies, Ms. Kim.
There was a little misunderstanding.

"Ms. Kim"?

Oh, he's...

Kim Hee Ah, I remembered...

who you were.

(Prosecutor Kim Hee Woo)

Kim Gun Young, a business tycoon
and the chairman of Chunha,

passed away at age 78.

Continuing the legacy of
his late father and the founder...

of the company, Kim Sung Man,

he grew Chunha and expanded it globally.

He leaves behind his eldest son,

Managing Director Kim Yong Jun
of Chunha Electronics,

his younger son, Managing Director
Kim Sung Jun of Chunha Motors,

and his daughter, Kim Hee Ah.

Her face was revealed for the
first time at her father's funeral.

She is Chairman Kim Gun Young's
only daughter.

Why did our paths cross?

Hee Woo, can you not
tell anyone about this?

Cho Tae Sub used Chunha
to stash his slush fund.

I don't like him, Cho Tae Sub.

If I'm right about this,
Kim Hee Ah may take my side.

He sure isn't an ordinary student.

His parents work
night shifts at a factory.

- Yes.
- His grades rose...

from bottom to top?

Is this really possible?

And he goes to Hankuk Law School,

where only the
top one percent can get in.

He's only 20,

yet you couldn't beat him right away?

Had she not jumped in and stopped us...

I'm not sure what could
have happened, sir.

Has anyone outdone you
in a fistfight before?

No, sir.

He sure isn't an ordinary kid.

- Find out more about him.
- Yes, sir.

Dad.

- Hi, Dad.
- I heard you got a boyfriend.

He's not my boyfriend.
We're just friends.

I heard he thought Jin Hyuk
was a stalker and fought with him.

I should thank him, in a way.

Yes. And you know what?
They were neck-and-neck.

They were practically flying around.

I felt like I was watching
a martial arts movie.

- Really?
- Yes.

He really is something.

I mean, he studies all the time.

How does he find time to work out?

He has such good manners,

and he's good-looking...

I mean, he is good-looking,
but he's not my type.

Come on. Don't give me that.

Looks like you're
head over heels for him.

No way.

Well, I am rethinking my decision
to go study abroad.

You are?

Then I should ask him to make you stay.

Really?

What? I guess you really are serious.

You didn't even listen to me
when I tried to stop you.

- I'm hurt.
- I was just kidding.

Assemblyman Cho Tae Sub is here, sir.

Let him in.

I'm off to school.

All right.

My goodness. Look who's here.

Hello.

Long time no see.

I heard you got into Hankuk University.
Congratulations.

Thank you.

Study hard...

and become one of the top talents
that will lead this nation.

AI and information technology
will take the world by storm...

in the near future.

Yes, I will remember that.

I'll leave you two to talk.

It's been a while, sir.

Hee Ah has grown up
to be a fine young lady.

She's still a kid.

- Please take a seat.
- Sure.

I don't like him.

Nice, instant coffee.
This brings back so many memories.

He's so fake.

Me? What did I do?

What? What do you mean?

You said just now that I was fake.

Oh, not you.

- I was talking about him.
- I see.

Everyone has the right to life.

Hence, the members of
the National Assembly...

must create systems and laws...

to ensure fairness in every aspect.

- "Fairness"? As if.
- That should be our goal.

Do you think Cho Tae Sub
is a bad person?

Bingo. People just don't know it yet.

How do you know?

Me?

You'll find out when the time comes.

Liars and hypocrites
always get caught in the end.

Hey, Hee Woo.

- Hi, Kyu Ri.
- Are you busy now?

- Can you help me with something?
- Sure.

Can you hold onto these
until you see me in class later?

I have class now,
but I can't carry everything.

- I'll buy you dinner.
- Sure, no problem at all.

Are you reading that these days?

Oh, I'm reading it again for
my History of Western Culture course.

- I see.
- See you later.

All right.

Did you say you two
went to the same academy?

- Kyu Ri and I? Yes.
- I see.

Then you guys must've studied
together all day at the academy.

Yes, most of the time. Why do you ask?

You were her gopher, weren't you?

You're so used to doing as you're told.

Oh, is that the impression I give off?

I guess I understand why...

Hold onto my books too.

Okay, sure.

Hee Ah, this is... Hey, Hee Ah.

Hey, brother!

Say hi. My friend from med school.
His name is Moon Sung Hwan.

We were the best students
in our department.

Hello, I'm Moon Sung Hwan.

Nice to meet you.

He's very easygoing.

Moon Sung Hwan?

The name rings a bell.

I suggest you acquire Mirae Motors...

so you can further grow Chunha Group.

- That's...
- I'll give you some time to think.

I do not want Mirae Motors
to be sold to a foreign company.

How many times have we seen
foreigners eat up these companies...

and just run off with the money?

I do get your point, but...

Mirae Motors needs capital immediately.

The bank has agreed to
loan them an emergency fund.

That's only a temporary solution.

From what I heard, their total debt
is almost one billion dollars.

That is correct.

If nothing is done, Mirae Motors...

will continue to pour water
into a bottomless jar.

But under the Chunha brand,

everything will change.

Sir, companies are
opening factories overseas...

in order to reduce manufacturing costs.

And soon, one robot...

will replace 10,000 workers.

Companies like Mirae Motors
with no overseas factories...

do not appeal to a businessman like me.

This is odd.

I'm surprised you don't understand
the gist of my suggestion.

There is only one answer
you can give me.

There are some things
that you must give up.

You'll have to acquire Mirae Motors.

Everyone at our school went bonkers...

upon finding out that
the two geniuses were dropping out.

Don't call yourself a genius.

If I didn't, no one would.

- Because you say it all the time.
- I see.

In any case, I dropped out
to pursue my dreams,

whereas he did it because
he wanted to change the world.

I see. That is very cool.

Not really. Call it foolhardy.

But you've done no harm to anyone.
I give you credit for that.

And kudos to you for being so decisive.

Well, my medical studies
somehow made me want...

to make this world a more
convenient place for us humans.

I'm not sure if it's
a good thing though.

Just change the name,
and I bet it'll do much better.

I'm talking about an app
that he developed.

It's got such a childish name.

- What was it, Heehee Talk?
- Haha Talk.

Haha Talk?

Yes.

Moon Sung Hwan,
the man who developed Haha Talk.

("Failed Young Entrepreneur,
Moon Sung Hwan,")

("Leaves Korea to Study Abroad")

He developed a world-changing platform.

But after losing the
intellectual property case...

against Jeil Telecommunications,

he suddenly left the country
to study abroad.

Hey. Heehee Talk will be better,
don't you think?

Is the name too childish?

No, I think it's great.

You can trust his opinion.

What do you say?
Do you think it can change the world?

Yes, totally.

I mean...

I have a good feeling about it.

Hey, I feel like I can really
trust him for some reason.

- Right?
- Yes, this is great.

This is why I wanted you to meet him.

Anyway, it must be hard...

to do everything by yourself.

I feel like I've reached my limits
both financially and logistically.

I've actually applied for a program
sponsored by a big company.

A big company?

Yes, Chunha Telecommunications'
Youth Entrepreneurship Program.

What? Chunha Telecommunications,
not Jeil?

- That's right.
- The results aren't announced yet,

but the CEO contacted him
and said he wanted to meet him.

Do you happen to know the CEO's name?

CEO Kim Chan Il, I think.

CEO Kim Chan Il?

Yes.

Kim Chan Il?

(Chunha Telecommunications
Youth Entrepreneurship Program)

It's a no-go

But according to the report released
by the economic research center,

it is the easiest one
to commercialize...

Hey, did you not understand
what I just said?

I did, sir. I will proceed
as you suggested.

And this is confidential.

Put together a separate legal team
without telling the company.

Pardon me? Without telling the company?

Hey, all you have to do is
follow me and do as I say!

Yes, sir.

As soon as we get our hands on
Moon Sung Hwan's source code,

we'll apply for a patent
and copyright immediately.

- Yes, sir.
- Now, get out.

Yes, sir.

(Chunha Telecommunications)

(Report on Chunha Telecommunications
Youth Entrepreneurship Program)

It's me, Ms. Han.

("Telecommunication Companies
Must Improve Customer Satisfaction")

Kim Chan Il.
He's at Chunha Telecommunications now,

but he'll lure Moon Sung Hwan...

and join Jeil Telecommunications soon.

Once Haha Talk becomes a success,
he will become rich and famous.

(Jeil Telecommunications)

This looks rather unusual.

Hatching an egg...

Kim Chan Il was Cho Tae Sub's
underling and spy.

I see.

Right, it will reveal the new world.

Absolutely, sir.

- I'll show you the lab.
- Sounds good.

- Sir.
- You must break out of the egg...

to reveal the new world.

Hello?

What?

We're taking everything.
Don't miss anything.

How dare you search my office?

Who is behind this?

I will kill you all, jerks.

Who's doing this?
Hey, it's you, isn't it?

Everyone called him the hyena
in the business jungle...

because of his aggressive,
cutthroat behaviors.

He was a criminal who sold
telecommunications technologies...

and top talents to other countries.

Mr. Kim Chan Il.

Let go of him.

I'm Prosecutor Kim Hee Woo.

You will be charged with
obstruction of justice...

on top of violating the
Unfair Competition Prevention Act.

Oh, so it's you.

You little jerk.
Who do you think you are?

Hey.

Hey, are you confident
that you can handle me?

Yes, of course.

Had I known the truth
behind Haha Talk back then,

- Take him.
- I would've added a few more years.

Kim Chan Il.

This time, I will be faster.

And I will bring you down
little-by-little.

(Choi Kang Jin, He's asking for you.)

Your guest is here.

Hello, sir.

Hey, it's been a while.
Come and have a seat.

I'm sorry I'm late.

Take a seat, Hee Woo.

It's still early,
but they're already drunk.

I just wanted to have
a drink with you guys.

Call me anytime. I'll come right over
no matter where I am.

I'll come right over even if I'm dead.

You little...

Was that too much?

Guys, I guess...

this was why I wanted to see you.

So what's new?

Kang Jin, you must be relieved
now that you've passed the bar exam.

What's going on with you, Hee Woo?

I'm just studying hard
so I won't let you down, sir.

Good. You can achieve
anything when you do your best.

Did something bad happen?

No, not really.

It's just that there's
nothing good happening.

Hey.

Why is it that I feel like
I keep losing ground?

No way.

You graduated from the institute
at the top of your class.

I need a case.

A big case.

But there's nothing.

How much longer do I have
to deal with petty offenders...

who get locked away
only for a few months at a time?

I'm not getting any big cases.

Even Jang Il Hyun was a rookie once.

A big case...

(Global Leader,
Chunha Telecommunications)

Okay.

I shall prepare a feast for him.

Here.

What is this? "Haha Talk"?

Yes. Min Soo's friend from
med school developed it.

Take a look.

You came all the way here
to drop this off?

Yes, I wanted to hear
your thoughts on it.

- That's why you're here now?
- Yes.

- There's nothing else?
- No.

Well...

When people meet up this late,
it's usually for something personal.

I'm usually studying at this hour.

Right, okay.

(Haha Talk Start-up Summary)

Hey, this person is bound for success.

He's a sort of genius.

You think he's that great?

Yes, that's what I think.

It's still new,

but we'll eventually be using
this thing in many situations.

This could dominate that market.

On second thought, depending on the speed,
it could monopolize it.

I knew she'd see the potential.

Gosh, I was carrying something
tremendous so carelessly.

You were.

But why do you have this?

He applied to Chunha Telecommunications'
project contest.

- Chunha Telecommunication?
- Yes.

I guess they saw the potential too.

He told me he got a direct call
from the CEO's office.

Is that so?

If it's someone who's smart,

their eyes will twinkle
as soon as they see this.

I knew it would be smart to ask you.

All right then,
take this and look over it carefully.

Okay. I want to show this
to someone too.

Okay. I'll get going then.

I've been briefed.

It's a project
worth taking a big risk for.

Chunha Economics' predictions...

have never been wrong. So what about it?

You should take over this project.

It will be very helpful
to your political career.

Not to mention its great foundation
for controlling companies.

Just get to the point.

This here, I'll take it for myself.

Then I will go to
Jeil Telecommunications.

I guess Chunha Telecommunications
has been dominating for a while.

There has been no virtue
of ascension overall.

"The more you have, the more you take."
It's Chunha Group's motto.

- Shall I proceed with it?
- Be careful not to cause a scandal.

Yes, sir. I'll take care of it and
make sure there are no issues.

You may leave.

- Yes, sir.
- I'll escort you out.

Haha Talk.

This could be something.

- Try it.
- Gosh, it's tasty.

Thank you.

My gosh,
can you believe this is for two?

It's for 2 people but it can feed 5.

It might not be enough for you,
so let me know if you want more.

- Enjoy.
- I'm sorry I'm so late.

You said you had something important.
Why are you already back?

I finished up quickly to come.
I couldn't miss this historic day.

You're what people call "a filial son".

What are you doing?
Don't you see we're busy?

It's packed and it's only the opening day.
This is awesome.

Honey, once these customers leave,
go get some more ingredients.

- We're already out of ingredients?
- Yes.

My gosh. I'm so excited, Hee Woo.

Our Kim family's perfect jjimdak recipe
that almost went to waste...

is finally getting
the recognition it deserves.

Are you kidding me?
How is this your family's recipe?

It's my family's recipe that's been
passed down from my grandma.

Listen. Gochujang was dad's,
and soy sauce was mom's recipe.

This is a collaboration that
fused into a wonderful recipe.

We're a remarkable couple.

You married a great guy.
Congratulations.

- For meeting a wonderful man.
- Thank you.

- Okay, let's get to work now.
- Excuse me.

Let's work. I'm coming.

- Excuse me.
- Yes.

I'd like to order three more portions.

- Okay. I'll bring it to you.
- Yes, sir.

- Oh, gosh.
- We'd like to order more.

- Just a minute, please.
- Two more orders.

Yes, okay.

I have an early meeting,
so I'll head out first.

Sure.

Me too. I have an early class.

I'll get going then.

I'll see you guys later.

What is it?

I have something to tell you.

Tell me.

I have a huge business item.

Can I tell you about it?

I think our company could
hit the jackpot with this.

Go on.

It's called Haha Talk.

A medical student from my school...

made a platform for communications.

It precisely targeted the future
where smartphones will dominate.

You know that this will replace
computers in the future, right?

How will that help our company?

Let me explain.

Countless amounts of data from people
will be gathered through it.

- Okay.
- With that data,

we can analyze consumers' propensities,

and also come up
with foolproof strategies.

Don't you think it would
be helpful in many ways?

But apparently,
the founder applied to...

Chunha Telecommunications
Youth Support Project Contest.

You can't give bonus points
because he's someone you know.

But I'm sure you already know that.

Of course.

I'm telling you because I heard
CEO Kim contacted him first.

I see.

Hold on. He contacted him personally?

I heard they set a date to meet soon.

Gosh.

Who would've known someone this young...

was designing a platform like this.

I won't beat around the bush.

Your chances aren't
looking good for the contest.

- Pardon?
- But why do you think...

I asked to meet you then, Mr. Moon?

You haven't slept
or eaten properly up to now.

You suffered so much to develop this.

You used up all
your development costs now.

It's going to be hard
to hang on any longer.

These are the common difficulties
that start-up developers face.

Which is why...

I would like to make an offer.

I'll help so you can get funded
by Jeil Telecommunications.

I'm sorry?

But you're the CEO of
Chunha Telecommunications...

That means nothing.
I'm just a salaryman in the end.

Chunha's methods are too outdated.

They don't understand
these new platforms whatsoever.

But Jeil is different.

Mr. Moon. Try to look
at the bigger picture.

Think about the impact
your talent will make.

It won't be about
the interests of a company...

or even the country. But you have
the interest of mankind at stake.

If you look at it that way,
the company doesn't matter.

Also, the most important thing now is...

that you get steady funding
for your development cost.

I guess you're right.

But...

there is a catch.

In return for generously
investing large sums of money,

you will have to share
Haha Talk's development process.

Let's move forward together.
This opportunity won't come again.

What do you say?

Hey, Sung Hwan.

All right then.

Where's the thing I asked for?

Here you go.

Min Soo said to take precautions.

It was smart of you.

I told him I'd think about it first
like you told me to.

But what do I do now?

IPRs.

I mean, intellectual property rights.
You know about it, yes?

Yes.

There are four different types
of intellectual property rights.

Patents, trademarks,
copyrights, and design rights.

These are the four categories.

You have to hurry up and
acquire exclusive rights.

Which is why we have to
focus on patent registration.

If those guys are after Chunha
or Jeil Telecommunications,

or Haha Talk itself,

then they only have two options.

First, they could invest a large
amount of money and manpower...

that they have to
develop something similar.

Or they will use any means necessary...

to steal yours.

The only way you can
stand up against them is to...

face them head on now.

So you try your best
to complete the project.

In the meantime,
we'll rush the patent registration.

Okay.

Okay. Make sure there's no setback
to releasing Smile Talk next month.

Yes, sir.

What about the navigation
development case?

We're still negotiating
with the developer.

So how long do we have
to wait until its release?

About 4... No, 3 months.

- Get it done by next month.
- But, sir...

Hey. It better not be released
later than S Map, you understand?

Yes, I understand.

Next. What's going on with SodaSand?

I got the source from the developer.

I deposited the money
into his wife's account.

You see? Humans have no conscience
or anything when it comes to money.

Why couldn't you get that punk,
Moon Sung Hwan to do the same?

Our product's launch is
set for the end of the month.

It'll be next month for the other guys.

Good job.

Work like this, you stupid punk.
Good grief.

(Law Firm)

This law firm specializes in
lawsuits against Chunha Group.

Don't you know?
When it comes to patents,

this law firm is
the best in the country.

I know that. But did you have
to choose here out of all places?

Hello, sorry to keep you waiting.

My name is Hwang Sun Ham.
I'm a partner at this law firm.

Hello, sir.

We're law majors at Hankuk University.

My name is Kim Hee Woo.

I'm Lee Min Soo. I'm also a law major.

I see. Then you guys are my juniors.

- Yes.
- Nice to meet you. Take a seat.

All right. So what brings you here?

Well, the thing is...

I know someone who developed a program.

And we had a lot of questions
about registering the patent.

A patent? What is it about?

All right. Right here.
It's called Haha Talk.

This program allows
users to communicate...

with each other by using data.

I see. Is that so?

The CEO of Chunha Telecommunications
also reached out to him.

Is that so?

Look over here. In the future...

Really? Is that so?

(Chunha Telecommunications
CEO Kim Chan Il)

Thanks, Lawyer Hwang.

I'll treat you to a meal soon.

Sure. Bye. You should hang up first.

Okay.

Seriously. Kids these days...

They weren't beaten enough
like in the old days.

Hey, get in here!

Did you want to see me?

Remember the agency that handled
our business without any loose ends?

Kim Hee Woo. You wanted to
go to the law firm because...

That's right. I went there
to stir up Kim Chan Il.

When people rush things,
they make mistakes.

You want to use your enemy
instead of avoiding him.

- Right.
- I knew it. What a strategist.

You could even join the military.

Gosh. Why would you say
something so horrible like that?

I can never go back there again.

Not again.

No!

What? What is it? Did you already
do your military service?

No, I should. Gosh.

Stop talking nonsense.
And focus on our project.

Don't take it out on me.

Do you want to get some noodles later?

Noodles, my foot! As if.

A while ago, Hee Ah told me
something very interesting.

She told me that Haha Talk,
the software...

a student from her school made,
will change the world.

Is that so? How?

She said through the software program,

we could gather tremendous
data from so many people.

Through the data,
we can come up with a foolproof plan.

Hee Ah is very bright.

Yes. She's very smart.

But there's something odd about that.

Odd?

I heard he applied for
Chunha Telecommunications' contest.

But the CEO of the company, Kim Chan Il,

personally contacted the developer...

when he must be the most impartial one.

I did make him the CEO
because you recommended him.

But he's changed a lot.

I thought he would be useful.

I must have misjudged his potential.

Now that I cleared that with you,
I will get to the point.

Right here, sir.

- Is this true?
- Yes.

This is the evidence
Chunha Telecommunications tried...

to steal the software program
of a student who applied...

to their contest in a very illegal way.

Take a look over here.

You can arrest the people
in the security footage...

and question them.

Then you will get a lot of
information from them.

Yes. I see a lot of problems here.

Right. This proves that...

the national-scale contest
was fabricated.

The CEO, Kim Chan Il.

I can charge him with
a lot of stuff just based on this.

That's right.

Thanks.

An executive at a conglomerate...

violated the right of
intellectual property...

and instigated felony assault.

He instigated corruption
in the contest...

and tried to commit
industrial espionage too.

Gosh, this is going to
be on everyone's lips.

I should expose the reality of
patent infringement with this.

Then this will be a huge case.

That's right. You can indeed
see the big picture.

I'm sure this kind of stuff
happens a lot at conglomerates.

That's right. Yes.

After getting the public's attention
with Chunha Telecommunications,

we can carry out...

a large-scale inspection
of other conglomerates.

- I like the picture I'm painting.
- I knew it.

It was the right move to come to you.

And...

I don't know if I should
already be telling you this.

There's more?

I found out when I was
looking into Kim Chan Il.

Apparently, Mr. Kim and
Assemblyman Cho Tae Sub...

have some sort of connection.

What?

Assemblyman Cho Tae Sub
is a standing member...

of the Science, ICT, Broadcasting
and Communications Committee...

at the National Assembly,

so he could give special favors
to Chunha Telecommunications.

- Is that so?
- Yes.

Assemblyman Cho is connected to this?

I believe Mr. Kim...

has been making it very obvious
to his acquaintances.

He's just immature.

I bet this is quite a problem
for Assemblyman Cho.

Hold on.

This is a big fish.

If I can pull this off,
the higher-ups will notice me.

You know, they are very sensitive
about IT-related cases.

Right.

Hey, Hee Woo.

You punk. You're pretty good.

- Thanks.
- Don't mention it.

I just want to be of help
in the path you are on.

That's enough to bring me happiness.

You punk. All right.

You are my real brother now. Okay?

Hey.

Why don't we hang out
with Kang Jin after this case?

I'll take you to a nice place.

Drinks will be on me
for the whole night.

Yes, sir. Please give me a call.

It's over. I'll crush them.

Have a great day!

I got it.

- Make sure there's no chatter.
- Yes.

- I'll make no mistakes.
- Okay.

Sir, the deputy chief prosecutor
is on the phone.

- Hey, it's me.
- Sir.

A prosecutor launched
an investigation on Kim Chan Il...

for manipulating a contest,

violating intellectual property rights,

and instigating industrial espionage.

I think he might have mentioned
his connection with you too.

I'm aware. I'll take care of it.

This is getting interesting.

Kim Gun Young must've
somehow gotten wind of it.

And next, this information
got leaked to a prosecutor too.

Who's getting in my way?

I'll get ready.

Make sure to do it on the low.

Yes, sir.

Hold on. Why don't you
take care of this, Director Kim?

Yes, sir.

There's too much noise.

In my previous life, Cho Tae Sub
was the one who gained the most...

from Haha Talk.

Unless Haha Talk finds a good investor,

Cho Tae Sub could
steal the software anytime.

(Nara Bank)

You woke me up at the crack of dawn.

And you wanted to see me here?

Sir, you hate exercising. Right?

I would rather...

read one more page of the paper
if I have time for this.

Gosh. We should exercise
together every morning.

What's gotten into you?

You need to live a long, healthy life...

for me to have enough time
to repay you for all of your help.

Get to the point.

I hate it when people
beat around the bush.

Sir, you know the money you gave me?

I'm thinking of investing it
in a venture company.

I gave you the money.
Why are you discussing it with me?

But... Sir.

Sir!

I got it.

I'm glad you're here.

I was actually going to celebrate.

Celebrate?

Good news is supposed to be shared.

I see. Good news? What is it?

Chunha contacted me.

Chairman Kim Gun Young
called me himself.

He apologized to me for what happened.

And he offered to invest in my software.

He said that they were
preparing to set up...

an Internet-related company,
Chunha Communications,

which would be different from
a telecommunications company.

I even got rid of Kim Chan Il.

But I still wasn't able
to change the future?

To tell you the truth,
I'm almost done developing it.

Once I get the funding
and hit it big, I'll repay you.

Gosh. But what you did for me
goes beyond just money.

Sure.

Are you going to take his offer?

Yes. It's not a bad deal.

I see.

Well,

I have a question.

- What is it?
- Why did you trust me?

Oh, that? I had three reasons.

For the first reason,
just like you said,

Kim Chan Il tried to trick me.

I thought you were a psychic.

Sung Hwan.

Be careful around Kim Chan Il.

If you meet with him,
he will offer you a bad deal...

and suggest signing with
Jeil Communications, not Chunha.

You should never accept that deal.

I should listen to psychics.

Right.

You were right about
moving here for the time being.

If I didn't listen to you,

it would have taken months
to restore everything.

What's the second reason?

- Min Soo.
- Min Soo?

Yes. Actually, Min Soo was the one...

who came up with the idea for Haha Talk.

A world where people communicate
with their smartphones through data.

Min Soo told me not to tell you.

But it's a fact.

Lee Min Soo. I knew it.

I once said this to Min Soo.

I offered to pay him for the idea
if I were to hit it big.

But he said he didn't need money.

He told me that...

he could be the richest man
in the world if he decides to.

He really is a genius.

I brought fried chicken,
you punks. Get it.

- Anyway, congratulations.
- Thank you.

- Congratulations.
- Thanks.

Seriously. Fried chicken and beer
make the best pairing.

Right. Can you finish
what you were telling me earlier?

What about the third reason?

I got a text message
right before I met up with Mr. Kim.

Right here. Look.

Something didn't sit right,
so I called back.

A man picked it up, but he said
he never sent me that message.

And...

Give me that. What is it?

There were news articles
that had to do with Mr. Kim.

("The Patent War, the Achilles'
Heel of Venture Companies")

Who is this? Why...

Sir, we should raise your rank now.

You're well past the skills
of a professional first dan.

You are going easy on me.

I learned a lot today as always.

Sir!

Get him out.

Let's stop here today.

Sure. I'll see you next time.

Please help me, sir.

Mr. Kim. You look haggard.

Don't do that.
Why don't you have a seat?

Yes, sir.

I play a game of baduk
for two hours every week.

That's the only break I have.

I'm sorry. But I'm in a big predicament.

The game is so close to ending.

But we've been at it for three weeks.

I like the phrase, "A large group
of stones is seldom captured."

There is always a way to overcome
a crisis no matter how big it seems.

- Thank you, sir.
- But if there is...

an unsalvageable stone from the start,

I must toss it.

A baduk player must
look at the entire game.

The moment he gets bound
to an unsalvageable stone,

he will risk losing the entire game.

Sir. Please give me one more chance.

Thanks to you,

I just came up with a brilliant move.

It was a preemptive move.

- Sir!
- Director Han.

Escort him out.

Sir. Please give me one more chance.

A dog that betrays its owner once
will do it again the next time.

So I want to make you an offer.

Go ahead.

Toss your lousy dog.

And join me.

Chunha must dominate the
telecommunications industry,

not Jeil.

I hope you can use this chance
to show your support for Chunha.

With more support from you,
I will consider your suggestion...

of acquiring Mirae Motors
in a good light.

Yes. I will relay the message to him.

Sir. Chairman Kim Gun Young's
secretary just called.

Moon Sung Hwan of Haha Talk
signed the contract with him.

Is that so? That was a bumpy ride.

Chunha is under my control
after clearing the air.

I just need it to end as planned.

Gosh. He went to get more drinks.
What's taking him so long?

It's only been ten minutes
since he left. Be more patient.

Right. Why am I so impatient?

- Hey, turn the TV on now.
- Hey, Sung Hwan.

- The TV?
- Darn it.

What's going on?

We just received the news...

that Kim Chan Il,
the CEO of Chunha Telecommunications,

had jumped off a building.

Kim Chan Il threw himself
off the rooftop of a building...

in Hoero-gu, Seoul.

- No way.
- The moment his body was found,

- What's this?
- he was moved to Youngil Hospital.

The medical team performed CPR on him.

- But he couldn't be resuscitated.
- Now that he's dead,

this case doesn't have
the right of arraignment.

It's closed.

Cho Tae Sub cut off his tail...

perfectly.

(Pluto)

All right.

- Are you here for an assignment?
- Yes.

Learning mythology after reading
law books is a breath of fresh air.

Hey. Are you reading about
Greek and Roman mythology too?

No. Why do you ask?

"Pluto".

That's another name for Hades,
the deity of the underworld.

Hades...

Excuse me.

Hey.

- I got him.
- Who?

You know, the cell phone owner
who sent the text to Sung Hwan.

He's a part-timer at
a convenience store.

He lent his cell phone
to that anonymous sender.

I'm with the part-timer now.
Come over now.

We need to check who it is.

Gosh. I have myself to blame...

for lending my cell phone
because of her looks.

Darn it. I knew something
was off with that woman.

- A woman?
- Yes.

Hey, it was a woman.
You heard it, right? It was a woman.

Hold on.

You said she walked in
after the old man who bought...

five bottles of makgeolli. Right?

Yes.

Okay.

Hey. Right there.

It's the next one.

- Is this the woman?
- Yes.

That woman...

"Pluto".

That's another name for Hades,
the deity of the underworld.

(Again My Life)

Because I'm back to my life again,

other people's lives are changing.

Bye, Kim Hee Woo.

I noticed that
there were a lot of cases.

It's not as simple as that!

Hello. I'm Prosecutor Kim Hee Woo.
