(Episode 11)

Assemblyman Cho Tae Sub is here?

Yes.

(Chunha Hospital)

He needs absolute rest.

If anything shocks his heart...

(Wishing you a speedy recovery,
Cho Tae Sub.)

Vice Chairman Kim Yong Jun
came to see me.

He grew up to be a fine young man.

He's very wise.

He offered me the outlet...

and asked me to help him
become the head of the group.

Knowing who to approach to cut a deal.

It's definitely something
that a good leader needs.

So I'm thinking...

Vice Chairman Kim has
what it takes to run Chunha.

Assemblyman Cho,
that is something I need to decide.

I will choose my successor
when the time comes...

It's hard to keep your mind sharp
when you get old.

Perhaps that's why you don't realize
that it's time for you to step down.

- Assemblyman Cho!
- Chairman Kim.

It's about time you stepped down.

Chunha must move
into the new, exciting era.

Find out if Yong Jun and Sung Jun...

reached out to Assemblyman Cho.

And find out what the
board members are up to.

Yes, ma'am.

Cho Tae Sub...

Yes.

Chunha has greatly contributed
to the development of this country.

I give you that.

But you don't have the
forward-looking perspective...

that is required to thrive
in this rapidly changing world.

You don't seem to be aware...

that Chunha is not run...

based on the chairman's opinions alone.

Right. However, the chairman
is the one who calls the shots.

I believe the general election
is around the corner.

I will take care of my company,

so I suggest you keep your focus
on the general election.

You seem to have gotten
the wrong idea about me.

I only think about the
future of this country.

You only care about your future.

No, that is not true.
You really got the wrong idea about me.

Then let me ask you something.

What do you think of Hee Ah
as my successor?

You wouldn't want that to happen...

because you know that
Hee Ah will not obey you.

You don't care about
the future of this country.

You just need an obedient dog.

I figured you wouldn't get the message,

so I prepared a little gift for you.

Next news.

Chairman Kim Gun Young of Chunha
who was rumoured to be ill...

has been in the hospital for two weeks.

- I've already set things up.
- According to the company's...

Chairman Kim.

I suggest you step down
of your own accord.

There is nothing more humiliating
than to be dragged down.

You said you prepared
a "gift" for me. Is this it?

I thought you brought a fruit basket.

I see that you brought a knife instead.

But I hope you know...

that I am...

holding a knife too.

- Move.
- You can't go in.

- They're having a talk.
- I said, move.

I said, they're having a talk.

Let her in.

Hello, Hee Ah. It's good to see you.

Let's go.

Chairman Kim is in critical condition...

Are you all right, Dad?

I'm okay. Don't worry.

I bet Assemblyman Cho
visited you on purpose.

And I'm sure he was the one
who leaked the info to the media.

What did he want from you this time?

You don't need to know.

It's all part of the things
I must resolve before I step down.

(Chunha Hospital)

How serious is his condition?

- Is he okay?
- Just a comment, please.

What did you two talk about?

- What did you two discuss?
- What will happen with Chunha?

- Sir!
- What will happen now?

- Sir!
- Mr. Assemblyman!

Let's go.

Why did you visit him in person?

I heard you visited Chairman
Kim Gun Young in the hospital.

- Hey, you're here.
- How is he?

I'm sorry.

It's not something I can answer.

How serious is his condition?

As one of the citizens...

who truly admire Chairman Kim Gun Young,

I sincerely hope that
he recovers quickly.

Chairman Kim is in critical condition?

That's why Hee Ah said...

Monks shave their heads...

when they leave behind worldly desires.

So I'm here to do that.

(Kim Hee Ah, Chunha Group,
Director of Management and Strategy)

(Chairman Kim Gun Young's Daughter
Joins Chunha's Leadership Team)

Hee Ah has joined the leadership team.

Things are unfolding differently
from my previous life.

Is it true that you met
with Assemblyman Cho?

Yes, I did.
And I offered him the outlet.

Dad made it clear to you...

that you must build it
from the ground up on your own...

and that you should
never bribe the politicians.

I'm working with them, not bribing them.

Yong Jun.

What? Should I dig the ground
and carry the bricks all by myself?

You see, you can't do everything alone.

You know what
Assemblyman Cho is thinking.

He'll keep you on a tight leash.

I'll deal with that.

Then he'll turn the company upside down.

I'll worry about that
when and if it happens.

Kim Hee Ah.

Stay quiet unless you want
to be kicked out of your office.

Unless you want to lose
everything you have.

I contacted Chunha's
board of directors...

and told them you're supporting
Vice Chairman Kim Yong Jun.

Then I'll get started on
improving his public image.

(Vice Chairman Kim Yong Jun of Chunha,
Anonymous Donor)

Okay, sounds good.

Sir, what about Cho Yun Ah?

Cho Yun Ah?

- Okay.
- Got it.

Who are you?

What do you want?

(Seoul Central District
Prosecutors' Office)

Actress Cho Yun Ah was found dead
in her home last night.

After bursting onto the scene in 2009,

she swept Best New Actress awards
at various award ceremonies.

She recently signed with a large
entertainment agency in the US...

and was awaiting her Hollywood début,

so her fans are absolutely
devastated by this news.

"It all happened because of money."

"I didn't know that things
would get out of hand like this."

"There's no video."

"I'd like to apologize to
Mr. Choi Soo Hyuk and Mr. Kim Yong Jun."

"I'm sorry."

"I'm taking my own life
to take responsibility for everything."

Why would anyone try this hard
to take the fall for everything?

And the cause of death too.

Meth overdose mixed with alcohol?

I didn't know Cho Yun Ah used meth.

I thought she was addicted to propofol.

This looks all too familiar.

This is a perfect mixture of
alcohol and methamphetamine.

Where have you seen this before?

What?

Never mind.

What? Come on.

Take a look.

(Actress Cho Yun Ah Dies by Suicide)

(Leaves Behind Note
About Her Recent Scandal)

(Actress Cho Yun Ah Dies by Suicide)

(Leaves Behind Note
About Her Recent Scandal)

Yes, got it.

That was a call from
Vice Chairman Kim Yong Jun's team.

Regarding Chunha Distributions,
they've agreed...

to forgo the restructuring plans
as you requested,

and they will hire more young people
to help reduce unemployment.

Good. I see that he really listens.

And as for the location of the outlet,

they've announced that
it will be built in the area...

you'd recommended to
Chairman Kim in the past.

I'm satisfied with what he's done. Good.

Now, I should return the favour.

I can't let him live
in his father's shadow forever.

Call Chief Prosecutor Kim Seok Hoon.

Yes, sir.

Why didn't you answer your phone?

Chief Kim called a meeting.

Chairman Kim Gun Young
of Chunha is in critical condition.

And they're abusing legal loopholes
in the succession process.

As prosecutors, you'll only
think about realizing justice.

If any of you have accepted
bribes from Chunha,

erase all traces at once.

If any of your friends work at Chunha,
cut ties with them now.

You will only look
for their unlawful deeds.

Show the world that the law
applies equally to everyone.

- Understood?
- Yes, sir.

Now, get to work.

(Chunha Group Case,
Special Investigation Task Force)

(Special Prosecutor Choi Kang Jin)

I need all of you to submit your phones.

Do not answer any calls.

Track down the former and incumbent
executives' borrowed-name accounts.

And all brokerage accounts that were
used to trade subsidiary shares.

- Comb through everything!
- Yes, sir!

What? The prosecution?

Yes. They will investigate
the overall succession plan...

and my brothers and I too.

Chairman Kim will think...

that the prosecution is targeting him.

However...

Only amateurs prune branches
that don't need to be trimmed.

It decreases the overall value.

Just get rid of the one
that's ruining the balance.

Like this.

What do you think?
Doesn't it look much better now?

Sir.

Mr. Kim Sung Jun?

What's this about?

I'm Prosecutor Choi Kang Jin
from the Central District Office.

I'd like to give you a choice.

Would you cooperate and
come with us quietly?

Or do you want your face
all over the news?

- What?
- Let's go.

- Sung Jun?
- Yes, sir.

It looks like he committed embezzlement.

Kim Gun Young will know...

that Kim Sung Jun's arrest is a warning.

Dad.

I'll get Sung Jun released.

And that the next target is Kim Hee Ah.

I'll take care of everything,
so you stay out of this.

I told you that I must put
an end to this with my own hands.

Dad.

No, don't cut it too close.

Yes, sir.

Good. That's it.

Great.

Get ready to greet a guest.

Chairman Kim Gun Young
won't surrender like this.

He'll visit me with a knife in his hand.

Okay.

Sir, Chairman Kim Gun Young is here.

What brings you here?

What are you doing?

My son, Sung Jun.

Please let him go.

Yong Jun, Sung Jun, and Hee Ah.

I do not want my children...

to have anything to do with politics.

Chairman Kim.

Please, this is my last wish.

I want this relationship...

to end with me.

I'm sorry. I'm afraid
I can't grant your wish.

You'll just serve ten years in jail,
no more.

Chairman Kim.

(Investigation on Corruption
Within Chunha Group)

(Year 1993)

(Senior Prosecutor Cho Tae Sub,
Chief of Special Investigations)

What? This is...

You'll just serve ten years in jail,
no more.

The new administration has taken office.

It's time to round up
some conglomerates...

to show the public
how "righteous" we are.

And I'm your target?
Are you here to arrest me?

We'd be having this conversation
in my office if that were the case.

Why do you think I suggested
this lunch meeting?

I'd like to run for office
during the upcoming general election.

Join hands with me,

and I'll bury this for you.

I'm sure we can do a lot together.

Thank you, sir.

I was wrong. It was nothing
but an ill-fated decision.

You must know...

that I don't have
many days left to live.

We could go to jail together,
hand-in-hand.

You see, we've known
each other for a long time.

It'd be nice...

to reminisce about
the good old days together in jail.

This is my last request and threat.

Put Sung Jun back...

where he belongs.

And do not contact my children again.

I'm sure you got the message.

Let's take care of him.
I'll get ready, sir.

- It's too risky.
- When was it not?

We're dealing with Chairman Kim here.

Kim Gun Young.

Help!

No, my brother...

Help!

My brother...

My brother.

Do you really think
a mere prosecutor can take me down?

Unfortunately, this is my job.
I'm just following orders.

So no hard feelings, please.

Looks like this will take a while.
Do you want some ox bone soup?

Oh, wait.

Do rich heirs not eat stuff like that?

We're letting Mr. Kim Sung Jun go.

Mr. Kim Sung Jun has been released.

Transfer my shares to Hee Ah
as quickly as possible...

so we won't have any problems.

Pardon me?

I want Hee Ah to be my successor.

Tell Yong Jun and Sung Jun
to stop by the hospital tomorrow.

- Yes, sir.
- You can go.

Dad, just focus on your recovery now.

I'll take care of everything else.

You don't need to worry about me.

I'll stay alive until you've
fully transitioned into my position.

You'll have Chunha on your shoulders.

I'm sorry, Hee Ah.

You wanted to live an ordinary life,

but you can't do that
because you're my daughter.

Expect to get busy.

Go home and rest up.

Starting tomorrow,
you'll come here and work with me.

Okay.

- Get some rest.
- All right.

- Mr. Park.
- Yes, sir.

- Spare me a moment.
- Yes, sir.

(Chunha Hospital)

(Chunha Hospital)

It's chrysanthemum tea, sir.

It's brewed to perfection.

Thanks to this nice cup of tea,

I'll sleep like a baby tonight.

Yes, hello?

Okay, got it.

Sir.

You had quite the journey, Mr. Chairman.

Now...

May you rest in peace now.

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

passed away last night
at Chunha Hospital.

He was 73 years old.

Continuing the legacy
of the late founder, Kim Sung Man...

Chairman Kim Gun Young
wasn't supposed to die yet.

He leaves behind his eldest son,

Vice Chairman Kim Yong Jun
of Chunha Electronics,

his daughter Kim Hee Ah,
the Director of Management and Strategy,

and his younger son Kim Sung Jun,
the CEO of Chunha Corporation.

It's my fault.

Future events are changing
because I intervened.

My, look at this fancy place.

What is this place?

Chairman Kim Gun Young's residence.

He lived here?

- Wait here. I won't be long.
- Okay, take your time.

(Our deepest condolences)

(Cho Tae Sub, Minguk Party)

My sincere condolences
to you and your family.

Thank you for coming.

I'm sorry about your father.

I'm sorry.

Why?

You have nothing to apologize for.

I'll help you.

- With that?
- Chunha Group.

Won't it be too much for you
to handle on your own?

What are you talking
about all of a sudden?

I'll see you soon.

Take care of yourself.

Okay.

Look into Hee Woo.

Find out who's driving the car.

I want to know everything,
from his friends to his parents.

Yes, ma'am.

Chairman Kim Gun Young should've
lived a few more years at least.

But he died all of a sudden.

There's only one reason
for that in this life.

Cho Tae Sub.

What if he cut
Chairman Kim's life short?

He'll slowly start to
show his ambitions...

to take over Chunha Group.

(Cho Tae Sub, Minguk Party)

Let's begin.

Yes, sir. I'll buy more
of Chunha's shares.

But I can't let him get his way.

Chairman Kim Gun Young passed away.

I heard. Some may be mourning,

while others see this as an opportunity.

I think it's an opportunity.

Kim Seok Hoon. Let's get him.

He's been unstable
since Jang Il Hyun's arrest.

Also, the special team
formed to target Chunha.

I'm sure it'll be dissolved
now that Chairman Kim has passed.

Right, there's a lot
of political pressure too.

Prosecutors will start grumbling...

and the wall Kim Seok Hoon
built will start to waver.

Now is the perfect time to attack him.

We haven't been able to find
any personal dirt on him though.

JQ Constructions.

You've been investigating them
so I'm sure you're well aware.

The corruption committed
by his wife, the Director,

and his son, Kim Young Il,
JQ Construction's Junior Director.

But I couldn't find any corruption
he was directly involved in.

Right, but that's more than enough.

The fall of a powerhouse...

always starts with his family.

Plus, I have something up my sleeve.

All right.

Let's give this a go.

(Chairman Kim's Death Opens Up New Era
with Vice Chairman Kim Yong Jun)

You're wrong.

Vice Chairman Kim Yong Jun's era
will never come.

What are you saying?

Are you from the future?

Forget it.

I need to ask a favour.

Shoot. I'll always say yes
to whatever you ask.

Write up an article for me.

Something like, "Chunha's Director
Kim Hee Ah will lead this era."

Hey.

I know you two are friends.

How dare you try to use a reporter
of this nation for personal use?

Do I look like a sell out to you?

The late Chairman Kim Gun Young...

chose Hee Ah as his successor.

She was the only one of his children
not to bend over to Cho Tae Sub.

Not to mention,
she has good business skills.

The press is only mentioning
the two brothers, right?

That's all Cho Tae Sub's doing.

Gosh, hold on.

I'm extremely confused right now.

Chairman Kim Gun Young's death...

could be Cho Tae Sub's opportunity
to rise to great power.

I plan to help Hee Ah to stop that.

Hey, if I viewed you as a sell out,

I would never ask this kind of favour.

I'm not asking this favour
of my friend, Kim Han Mi.

Instead, I'm asking
Kim Han Mi, the reporter.

I think...

I just heard something shocking.

So,

you plan to help Kim Hee Ah
to stop Cho Tae Sub?

Yes.

Is that why you asked to meet up
with Assemblyman Hwang?

Because he's the only politician
who didn't bend over to Cho Tae Sub.

Hey, did you forget who Cho Tae Sub is?

He's favoured by the entire nation.

The icon of trust and purity.

It's all a façade.

That mask.

I'll take it off of him.

If Cho Tae Sub is a dinosaur,
you're an ant.

Ant? That's a little harsh.

- Hee Woo.
- Anyway.

So what do you say?

Can't you see me opening my laptop?

Good.

I'm counting on you.

Did you enjoy your meal?

Are you spying on me?

I just got done with dinner.

I missed you all of a sudden.

I doubt that. What is it today?

You still have great intuition.

Gosh, I'm nervous already.

Could you please investigate Bando Bank
regarding its corporate loans?

Including any related companies
with shares tied to them.

You got it.

I appreciate it.

(Scherr Real Estate)

I'll use the money you gave me.

I said that it was yours.
Stop reporting to me.

I could end up losing everything.

Or you could inflate it, right?

Right.

How much do you want to make?

For me...

This and...

that.

And also...

that over there. I just need
enough money to buy those things.

Those are all Chunha Electronics,
Chunha Motors,

and Chunha Constructions.

You're saying you'll have Chunha
in the palm of your hands?

It's been sitting in the safe.
Use it however you please,

whether you buy a phone,

a car, or an apartment.

Thank you, sir.

- Hi there.
- Hey.

How are you managing Mr. Woo's assets?

I diversified the investment
among stocks and real estate.

In the case of stocks,
I've been increasing it...

by investing in the stocks
you recommended.

It's on fire.

I listened to Mr. Woo's
advice on the real estate.

I've been buying and managing...

low and high-rise buildings
and apartments through auctions.

Sell them all.

Sell it? All of it?

Stocks, buildings, and apartments?
Everything?

Yes. Turn everything into cash.

As fast as you can.

Seriously? It's a cash cow.

I will cut it open and
take out the cash?

That's it.

Okay.

Good job. You played a vital role.

Director Kim.

The Minister of Health and
Welfare position is awaiting him.

Prepare for a hearing.

I'll tell the assistant administrators
from both parties.

Thank you, sir.

- See him out.
- Yes, sir. Follow me.

- Director Han.
- Yes, sir.

Call Chief Prosecutor Kim Seok Hoon.

Tell him to stop
investigating Chunha Group.

Yes, sir.

(Chunha Group Chairman's Death
Halts Corruption Investigation)

(Death of Chairman Kim Gun Young.
Will The Investigation Stop?)

The investigation of Chunha
has stopped, as expected.

(Chief Prosecutor Kim Seok Hoon,
Come to my office.)

Wasn't this a fight for justice?
But now we're told to stop?

My point exactly. So much for fighting.

Didn't he say he'll show the world
that all are equal under the law?

What a joke.

We're not his lackeys
he can mess around with.

The prosecutors are agitated.

It's time to throw
Kim Seok Hoon the bait.

(Chief Prosecutor Kim Seok Hoon)

I'm getting a lot of complaints.

We formed a special team
to arrest a conglomerate.

But with this new order
to stop the investigation,

we ended up making a fool of ourselves.

Chairman Kim Gun Young's
death was unfortunate.

But I think we should form
the special investigation team...

How about we turn their attention?

- Their attention?
- Yes.

These prosecutors' morale
was on a high from this case.

If you throw them a case
just as high-profile as this one,

the complaints will decrease.

Do you think you can come up
with a similar case to the Gimsan one?

- Yes, sir.
- What is it? Tell me now.

It's a case related to
an insolvent bank...

and how it committed embezzlement
and gave out illegal loans.

- What's the bank?
- Bando Bank.

The bank was acquired
during the financial crisis in 2008.

DH Money is its major shareholder...

No. Banks should not
be messed with carelessly.

Don't dredge up something closely tied
to the people's livelihood.

But they've been giving
excessive loans to insolvent companies.

They lack capital safety.

- To protect the people's assets...
- I said no.

The prosecution is here
for the nation's safety, not disorder.

Look for another case.

Understood, sir.

What? You brought up Bando Bank?

How ambitious.

You suggested a case
knowing he'd shut you down?

What's your reason?

I let the chief prosecutor know.

That the prosecution has a hidden card.

Political prosecutor Kim Seok Hoon.

But his roots are connected
to the prosecution.

His pride and ego as a prosecutor
is bigger than anyone else's.

But he's the one who arrested
and released Kim Sung Jun.

Per the powerhouse's order.

That must've bruised his ego.

Would you like to join me?

In my mission to force
Chief Prosecutor Kim to use my card?

Sorry.

I would join you
in every mission if I could.

But I finally have a court date
for Mirae Electronics' CEO,

Jeon Il Bo, and I'll be leading it.

Is that so?

Too bad then.

- I'll be cheering for you.
- Me too.

(Results on Kim Hee Woo)

(Park Sang Man)

- Is this all true?
- Yes, ma'am.

Who is this Park Sang Man?

And how does Hee Woo
have this much money?

I think prosecutor Kim Hee Woo
has a great knack for investing.

He's made huge earnings
starting from his college years...

through real estate and stocks.

There's definitely
something behind this.

Ma'am.

- Well...
- Yes?

Nothing, ma'am.

I'll talk to Hee Woo myself.

- Let's go, Mr. Park.
- Yes, ma'am.

(Director Kim Hee Ah)

Apparently, Degas used to study law.

He eventually met Ingres
and became an artist.

This drawing here.

Doesn't it feel like someone
is peeping at something?

It reminds me of a certain someone.

The person who graduated from law school
and became a prosecutor.

He's also poking around
elsewhere to take a peek.

You don't seem surprised
about getting caught.

Is it something to be surprised about?

I wonder if you'll say the same
if I put it this way.

I'm not one to easily be surprised.

Park Sang Man.

After my dad passed away,

prosecutor Kim Hee Woo
cashed out his assets...

that he's been managing
under Park Sang Man's name.

Not to mention
he approached me at a perfect time.

What's the reason?

Did you investigate me?

Yes. You offered to help.

I investigated to see
if I could trust you or not.

You know Chunha has great
intelligence capabilities, right?

So what do you think?

Do I seem trustworthy?

I can't tell.

Whether you're friend or foe.

Let's talk over it with coffee.

Okay.

What? You saved up
so you can catch Cho Tae Sub?

Yes, and other things.

I wanted to help my friends out too.

It's risky.

I know.

You're just a powerless prosecutor
to Cho Tae Sub.

I know that too.

Hee Woo. The money you saved
is an impressive sum.

But to Chunha Group it's petty cash.

- I know that also.
- So how could you...

- I said I will help.
- Help what?

With Chairman Kim gone,

do you think Cho Tae Sub
will leave Chunha to be?

Cho Tae Sub will order
another search and seizure...

against Chunha Group soon.

He'll expose every dirt
related to Chunha to the world.

He'll stir up your family.

He will use every possible means.

Finance, prosecution, the government.

Money and power needed to kill Chunha.

He has everything he needs.

Your family will end up losing Chunha.

I appreciate your concerns.

But rest assured.

Chunha's capital structure
is stronger than you think.

We won't be sitting ducks
to Cho Tae Sub.

You can't just rely on official numbers.

Hee Ah.

Your brothers,
Kim Yong Jun and Kim Sung Jun.

Do you trust them?

We're talking about Cho Tae Sub.
He's capable of anything.

Do you still not get it?

Do I need to give you
examples of other fallen families?

Your imagination has gotten
bigger since we last met.

Imagination is based on reality.

I will help you.

Kim Hee Ah. You protect Chunha Group.

- How?
- Park Dae Ho.

CEO of Bando Bank
and Cho Tae Sub's fund manager.

How do you know that?

I'm a prosecutor.

I'm going to arrest Park Dae Ho.

And I'll get them for you.

The shares Park Dae Ho has.
The 15 percent of Chunha's shares.

Do you think that's possible?

That's my problem to worry about.

But under one condition.

- A condition?
- Once you become the chairwoman,

cut all ties with politicians.

If you don't,

I'll be arresting you.

Will I be able to do what Hee Woo said?

Becoming the chairwoman of the company?

That too.

And cutting all ties with politicians.

Even my father couldn't do so.

It will be tough,

but you must do it...

to protect the company
and its employees.

Right.

("A New Leader on the Rise")

("Director Kim Hee Ah of the
Management and Strategy Team")

Kim Hee Woo. That's quite a nudge.

Director Park,
what's on my schedule today?

You only have an executive meeting
with the subsidiaries left.

I will help you.

Kim Hee Ah. You protect Chunha Group.

We took your advice to adjust
our direction with marketing.

And it has gone very well.

This is the one, right?

It's very popular,
especially among young women.

That's great.

More people will be interested
in maintaining their figures.

So the initial market
dominance is very important.

I hope you're all right.

- Pardon?
- After the chairman passed away,

we were very worried about you.

I'm all right.

I've been very busy,
so my thoughts don't wander.

We're on your side.

It must be incredibly hard,
but I hope you overcome this.

We heard that you were
the one who stopped...

Vice Chairman Kim Yong Jun from
selling off Chunha Healthcare.

It's a promising industry.

I can't lose you guys
to another company.

I knew it.
The late chairman was indeed wise.

- Pardon?
- When the late chairman was alive,

he told us what to do
with our shares of Chunha Holdings.

He wanted us to use
our shares for someone...

who works to protect the company.

Oh, how many shares do you have?

We own 0.5 percent.

I know it's not a lot,

but even 0.1 percent of shares
can make all the difference...

when the management rights
are on the line.

Thank you. I didn't expect this at all.

Director Kim,
take a closer look around you.

I'm sure there are
several subsidiaries...

that followed the chairman's wishes
and hold the shares of the company.

Okay.

Thank you for giving me such courage.

Please allow me...

to continue our investigation
against Chunha Group.

The succession of management
has been on everyone's lips.

The press is reporting...

suspicions of illegal inheritance
and tax evasion.

But not taking any action...

Chairman Kim Gun Young passed away.

If you take it too far,
it might backfire.

Sir.

I remember what you once told me.

You wanted me to use Chunha Group
to become the Prosecutor General.

But I had to stop the investigation
even before I got my hands on it.

Seok Hoon.

You're not yourself today.

I told you that I knew your limit,

and I would let you reach your limit.

And you need time to reach that limit.

Come in.

Sir, Chief Prosecutor Yoon Jong Gi...

of the Eastern District
Prosecutors' Office is here.

Bring him in.

- Hello, sir.
- Hello.

- Come and join us.
- Yes, sir.

It's been a while.

Right.

It's been a while with me as well.

Here. Have a drink.

The next Prosecutor General
will be appointed soon. Right?

I believe...

that whoever wins the title...

will join me for the better
of our country.

Here. Cheers.

He will weigh us up
even to the last moment?

How much longer do you think
you can treat me like your lapdog?

Come in.

Did you ask to see me?

Hee Woo.

Yes.

We're prosecutors.

Don't think about anything else.
Focus on the crimes.

Start investigating...

Bando Bank.

He took the bait.

But keep it under wraps.

And report only to me
about your findings.

Do you understand that?

- Yes, sir.
- You're dismissed.

There's finally a crack
between Cho Tae Sub...

and Kim Seok Hoon.

It's me. Join me
for some exercise after work.

(No Parking)

I thought...

prosecutors had their
secret talks in fancy rooms.

Why do you always come here?

This is the safest place we can find.

And it's cozy too.
This is perfect for us.

- Thank you.
- Gosh, don't mention it.

I didn't ask to get
a thank-you from you.

Then I'll leave you to it.

- Sung Ho.
- Yes.

I'll give you an out
before we start this.

You have a wife, and you're a father.

I don't know what this is,
but you have them too.

I ought to do whatever this is.
I followed you here.

We'll bring down Kim Seok Hoon.

What? Really?

You heard our target,
so you can't get out of this now.

Never. Whatever happens, I'm in.

Gosh. We'll finally be able to use
what we've been investigating.

- Let's start.
- Okay.

To bring him down,

we must cut his tie to his connection...

that's watching his back.

- His connection?
- Cho Tae Sub.

- Cho Tae Sub?
- Yes.

Go on. How will we cut
his tie from Cho Tae Sub?

We'll use Bando Bank's investigation
Kim Seok Hoon has in his cards.

Bando Bank?

The one with the former gangster,
Park Dae Ho, as the CEO?

Yes.

The bank also acts as
Cho Tae Sub's safe for his secret fund.

It's a rumour yet.
It hasn't been confirmed.

So I'm going to do some fact-checking.

- By using Kim Seok Hoon?
- Yes.

If this goes well,
not only will we confirm that,

but it will also end their relationship.

That's a good plan.

But do you think
Kim Seok Hoon will go for that?

It won't be easy.

No. He already did.

He just gave me permission
to investigate Bando Bank.

- He did?
- Yes.

Of course, his condition
was to keep it confidential.

That wasn't an easy call to make.
I wonder why he did that.

He was disappointed...

by Cho Tae Sub...

for weighing him and Yoon Jong Gi up...

for the next Prosecutor General title.

Bando Bank will be
a trump card for Kim Seok Hoon.

So this investigation
on Bando Bank is...

Kim Seok Hoon's warning to Cho Tae Sub?

It implies that if he doesn't
become the Prosecutor General,

he will investigate
this case to the end.

- That's right.
- But...

if Cho Tae Sub gives
Kim Seok Hoon what he wants,

nothing will come out of it.

No.

Cho Tae Sub won't give him
what he wants this easily.

Why not?

Because I'll give Cho Tae Sub
a card to play with too.

A card?

Yes.

How's your hidden card project
going along?

Too bad. I should have
been there too. Seriously.

Mirae Electronics' CEO Jeon Il Bo's trial
is tomorrow at 2pm.

You're coming, right?

(Courthouse)

Case number, 2017-1234
of the joint panel.

The trial regarding a violation of...

the Act on the Aggravated
Punishment of Specific Crimes...

and embezzlement charge will be held.

All the evidence I have
presented speaks for itself.

This clearly proves he set up
the secret funds illegally...

and fabricated the stock price.

Objection.

The prosecutor is
cornering the defendant...

with unclear evidence.

I would like to object to
the prosecutor's indictment.

It's clear where he got
the money for his secret funds.

It was the profit he made
from fabricating the stock price.

It was a mere coincidence
the stock price went up.

- He's making an absurd claim.
- Oh, please.

He used the inside information...

to artificially adjust
the market price...

so he could set up his secret funds.

I've seen this game play out many times.

The prosecution acknowledges...

that the defendant sought
after personal gains...

while exercising
his management rights...

and severely damaged the rational
practice of running a company...

and the transparency of the company.

For these grave crimes
the defendant had committed,

the prosecution demands
that the defendant...

faces 10 years in prison or
a 15-million-dollar fine...

for violating...

the Act on the Aggravated
Punishment of Specific Crimes...

and embezzling from the company.

We have no further objections.

But we ask the court
to make a sound judgement.

(Judge)

We will deliver
our ruling after a break.

Here is our ruling.

The defendant, Jeon Il Bo,

brought damages to Mirae Electronics...

by stealing a huge sum of its funds
as the CEO of the company.

The embezzlement and his malpractice...

has cost over 30 million dollars
in damages to the company.

He systematically coerced
the executives to participate in it.

Given the awful nature of his crimes,

a heavy sentence is only fair
for a defendant like him.

However, the defendant, Jeon Il Bo,

has been working to pay off...

all the damages he had caused...

as the CEO of Mirae Electronics.

And considering the fact that...

he had paid back everything
during this trial.

Therefore, we sentence the defendant...

to 2 years and 6 months in prison.

Only 2 years and 6 months?

However, as of the ruling date,

he will have a stay of execution
for four years.

What?

It's always been that way.

The cases you thought
you had in the bag got buried...

for people in power.

Our preparation is done.

Our plan is perfect. So...

I'm anxious.

If those in power
cover our case up again,

none of us will survive it.

Everyone. You, me, and Sung Ho.

Don't worry, guys.

If this falls through,

I'll take responsibility for everything.

That won't happen.

What do you mean?
That's what Nongae would've said.

What's this about?

Right?

We're in the same boat,
so we'll share fate.

Is it something serious?

No. It's nothing.

Our job always sounds serious.
But don't mind us.

She's a worrywart.

Our son always has
to deal with bad guys,

so they might come after him.

Sir, don't worry about that.

I'll keep him safe.

Hearing that reassures me.

Honey, don't you want
to say something to him?

Sir, is there anything
you would like to eat?

Of course, there is.

Let's bring out all the food we have.

Let's braise everything
and bring them to him.

You think you can keep him safe?

Didn't you see him
fight off all those guys?

We're lucky if we don't get in his way.

Come on, don't say that.

We can keep each other safe.

All right. Let's drink.

What brings you here?

I would like to meet
with Assemblyman Cho.

He doesn't see guests
without appointments.

Tell him it's an urgent matter...

regarding Chief Prosecutor
Kim Seok Hoon.

Then make an appointment
and come back next time.

Director Han, I wouldn't have come
unless it was serious.

And it's up to him to decide
whether he'll see me or not.

Then I'll ask him.

Come on in.

I'm here at last.

The heart of power in Korea.

And the gathering place of trash.

Sir, Prosecutor Kim Hee Woo is here.

Let him in.

Have you been well?

Sure. What's this about?

I'll bring down
Chief Prosecutor Kim Seok Hoon.

(Again My Life)

The trigger has already been pulled.

Let's cut a deal.

It's time for those
who have been waiting in silence...

to shine.

Kim Hee Woo.
Doesn't he seem like trouble to you?

I might find out the truth.

But you have no right to stop me.

Should I go along with him?

Or...

I will silence the mouth...

of a righteous prosecutor.
