Original subtitles

I haven't been able to reach Mr. Kwon.

He left me a text saying he was leaving,

but he's been off the grid ever since.

DESKTOP

Jun, if you get this, give this to Hyuk.

FILES ON GANGSU GROUP

Jun.

Hyuk. What about Je-hun?

This was in my pocket.

What's this?

I think Je-hun slipped this in my pocket.

He's charged with embezzlement?

People from the Prosecutors' Office came

and took all his stuff.

Embezzlement?

In the end, you'll be the one getting hurt.

How can you be so sure of that?

Because your dad...

was just one of many.

So get yourself ready before you fight.

You won't be even able to land a punch with what you've got now.

Je-hun.

Is this it?

Have you been fighting alone inside the company all this time?

Hyuk, Je-hun got arrested for embezzlement?

Yes.

So what about you? What are you going to do?

I'll choose a path that won't hurt anyone.

What do you mean?

What do you have in mind?

Jun.

Do you trust me?

Tell me.

Do you trust me?

Yes.

I trust you.

Good. Thank you.

I won't disappoint you.

So trust me and wait.

BYUN HYUK

Sir, please help my son just this once.

Embezzlement?

No way. My son would never do such a thing.

I'm sure there has been a misunderstanding.

Please get to the bottom of this, Director Byun.

So you should have raised your son better.

You know, I never forgive anyone who betrays me.

And even your son

is no exception.

Let me take the punishment for him.

I took the fall for you a long time ago.

I'll go to prison this time again.

Please spare my son this once, sir.

Gosh.

Hey, Mr. Kwon.

I already paid for that a long time ago.

You should be grateful for getting an apartment.

How dare you bring up that incident again?

No, I didn't bring it up to pressure you.

I just said it because I want to pay for my son's mistake.

Don't you dare speak another word.

I'll really kill Je-hun.

Master Hyuk. Please help my Je-hun.

Please help Je-hun. Please, sir.

Get up, sir.

As a matter of fact,

I came here to help Je-hun.

Mr. Seol gave him the files?

Yes.

I think the files are about BS Company.

Jun.

BS...

Come on, Dad.

You can't do this to Je-hun.

Please get Je-hun out.

Hey.

Do you even know what he did?

He had a list of people we had been bribing all this time

and was about hand it over to the prosecution.

Not knowing his place, he wanted to blow the whistle.

That bastard was in league with the prosecution.

I know that. But you are the one who messed up first.

-What? -You hit him all the time.

You made him take care of the skanks you slept with.

I would get pissed off and stab you in the back, too.

You really did that to Je-hun?

He did! This is all his fault.

You jerk.

Besides, he was totally wrong about the whistleblower that was

in league with the prosecution.

What is this about? He was wrong about the whistleblower?

I found them in Mr. Seol's office.

-Mr. Seol's office? -Yes.

SHARES OF BS COMPANY

Look at this jerk.

By the way, what's BS Company?

All those files are about that company.

You don't need to know.

Right? I don't have to know, right?

I don't want to know, either. It's a headache.

But Dad, you should be careful. That could have gotten us in big trouble.

How did you get your hands on these?

What is this?

Are you suspecting me right now?

So help me believe you here.

Tell me how exactly you managed to get your hands on them.

Then, you should tell me first.

Tell me how exactly you found out Je-hun betrayed us.

Dad, I may be dumb, but do you really think I would betray you?

I would never do such a thing.

I just want you to tell you that Mr. Kwon and Je-hun

have been loyal to our family for two generations.

I really don't think they deserve this kind of treatment from us.

So please, Dad. Help Je-hun just this once.

You've scared him enough. Please stop now.

No, Dad.

He made a mistake on the heat of the moment. Isn't embracing his mistake

the best way to win his loyalty?

Dad.

Use this chance

to show him your generosity.

My generosity?

Thank you.

Thank you so much. Thank you.

Master Hyuk.

Thank you.

Thank you.

SHARES OF BS COMPANY

This bastard Seol.

Dad.

Do you trust Hyuk? Don't you find him suspicious?

I'm sure he's up to something.

That's exactly your problem.

Look.

While you were playing dirty tricks on Hyuk,

he brought me a game-changer.

-But, Dad-- -Don't talk back to me.

Call Prosecutor Hwang.

I'll take care of Seol myself.

If you lost, accept your defeat. Don't show me this is all you amount to.

If you don't want to lose, get yourself together.

Why did the chairman come here?

You've prepared it very thoroughly.

You've pretended to be obedient.

But have you been preparing to betray me

all this time?

I never betrayed you, sir.

I was just...

trying to prove to you that you were wrong.

I'm ready to make any sacrifices for the betterment of the company.

That's my way of serving you.

What is this? They look pretty serious.

-What's going on? -The chairman came down himself.

-What happened? -What is this about?

Take them to your father and make a deal.

He'll have Mr. Kwon released in a heartbeat.

Then,

what

is going to happen to you?

If I was worried about that, I wouldn't have given you these.

What do you want from me?

What do you want me to do?

What's your name?

Pardon?

I would appreciate it if you could live up to your name.

What? Mr. Seol is packing his stuff?

-I think so. -Why?

-He's leaving? -What?

Oh, no.

EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR SEOL GI-HWAN

Sir.

-Mr. Seol. -Mr. Seol.

Mr. Seol.

What's going on, Mr. Seol?

It's nothing special.

I'm leaving because it's time for me to leave.

-Mr. Seol. -Mr. Seol.

You have one heck of a friend.

Cleaning up his messes paid off.

That troublemaker saved you this time.

Consider yourself lucky.

Don't cross the line again.

Mr. Kwon.

Je-hun! My gosh.

Goodness.

Why did you come here?

You were never going to be able to bring them down.

What were you thinking? That could have costed your life.

I just had to.

For the first time in my life, I feel great and my head is clear.

You could have been in big trouble if it weren't for Master Hyuk.

You know that?

My gosh. My son. I'm glad you got through it.

I'm glad you're out.

Goodness. I'm glad you're out.

Why did you do it?

Mr. Seol.

Remember what you told me before?

Because it was Hyuk.

It was possible because it was Hyuk.

The files are nothing more than circumstantial evidence anyway.

Even if I take them to the prosecution,

All Gangsu will lose is BS Company's slush fund.

The prosecution will never uncover the real owner behind the company.

Then, why did you do it?

I thought if I gave the files to Hyuk, things would turn out differently.

I thought it was prudent to bet on him

as long as he was willing to do something about it.

Is that so important that you're willing to throw away everything you have?

Who told you that I threw away everything I have?

Did you want to see me?

Mr. Yang Jin-uk.

I heard you're the ace in your department.

-Is that true? -Gosh, I'm flattered.

I look forward to working with you.

You ought to be a general manager soon.

Pardon?

Yes, sir. I'll do my best.

MANAGER YANG JIN-UK

BYUN HYUK

LEE YONG-JUN

Seeing how Mr. Kwon and Mr. Seol got fired,

I think the storm has passed.

But what is this? What on earth is going on?

I don't think the storm has passed. I think the storm is brewing.

-Mr. Kim. -Yes?

Don't you know anything? You're close with Rich Boy.

I'm not sure. I don't know either.

I see.

Je-hun.

Je-hun! Mon ami. Watashino tomodachi.

You said you would finish it if I started this. You told me to trust you!

-Je-hun. -I got the ball rolling.

How could you waste our chance like this?

Hey, you crazy jerk. You ruined everything! You ruined it!

What did you expect me to do?

Should I have let you ruin your life?

Should I have let you become an embezzler?

I was ready to face it.

I wanted to change it at all cost!

Those files are not nearly enough to hurt my dad.

What did you think you could change?

To get you out,

I did everything I could.

I did that for you! But I don't even get a thank you?

You did that for me? Don't make me laugh.

To protect your father and your family, you betrayed me.

What?

I was the fool for believing your lies about how you want to change the world.

I knew it. This is all you amount to.

You're the son of the rich family to your bones.

What? You jerk!

You bastard.

Did you just bite me? You're dead meat.

Hyuk. Je-hun!

Stop this right now!

Damn it.

What are you two doing?

Stay away from each other now.

Je-hun, who beat you up like that?

It's none of your business. I'm fine.

Did you hear that, Jun?

He's so ungrateful.

He never thanks you for caring about him.

What did you say, you jerk?

I cut a deal with my father to get him out.

Do I deserve to be punched and criticized for that?

Hey, I never told you to get me out of there!

Stop!

What do you think you are doing?

Do you want everyone in the company to know you two are fighting?

-Yes. That's what I want. -What?

I'm not friends with him anymore starting today.

That's what I wanted to say.

Hey, Hyuk. Hey.

Je-hun.

They were really going at it. It was crazy.

-Really? -Yes.

Even the cleaning worker, Baek Jun, came. It was quite a scene.

I think they have completely fallen out.

Are you okay?

I'm okay. You don't have to worry about me.

You left like that that day. How could I not worry?

I had known you for so long,

but I guess I didn't know much about you.

It sounds like you know me now.

A bit.

About Hyuk...

I'm sure he has a plan.

Let's trust him one more time. Please?

Je-hun.

NEW TEXT MESSAGE, MS. AN

Yang is on Director Byun's side now.

Okay. I got it.

Okay.

Okay. I got it. Yes. I will do so.

You startled me. What is it?

I think a new personnel appointment will be announced tomorrow morning.

What? A new personnel appointment?

Wait. Is it about me?

No, it's about me.

You? For what?

The chief?

Wait. You'll appoint Hyuk as the chief?

He earned it this time.

My goodness. What did my Hyuk do to earn such a position?

He saved the company...

and me.

He also saved Je-hun.

My goodness. I'm so proud of you, my son. Congratulations, Hyuk.

Thank you, Mom. And thank you, Dad.

-I'll really work hard. -Okay.

Then, whose position has more power? Wu-seong or Hyuk?

Come on, Se-na. Of course, his position has more power.

For now.

-Honey, here. -You said you would finish it

if I start this. You told me to trust you!

I was the fool for believing your lies about how you want to change the world.

I knew it. This is all you amount to.

You're the son of the rich family to your bones.

What? You jerk!

You bastard.

-So let's finish this together. -What?

-Let's finish this together, my friend. -What are you saying?

People are watching. Let's fight.

Did you just bite me? You're dead meat.

Hey, what on earth are you planning now?

I'll explain it later. Let's just fight for now.

Hyuk. Je-hun!

-What about Jun? -Keep it a secret for now.

For the sake of her safety.

Yes.

Stop this right now!

Damn it.

What are you two doing?

Stay away from each other now.

Something is definitely off.

What is it?

Tell me about it.

I knew something was off.

I just thought Cheol-min was a cop.

Who would have thought he was dispatched to the prosecution?

As soon as he was dispatched there, he moved into this building.

He's been keeping his eye on the two.

Isn't that crazy?

And while on duty,

he and I...

We are truly destined to be with each other.

Yeon-hui, is Cheol-min home right now?

No. He's been working late these days.

I mean, he's practically living there.

It's been a few days since he's been home.

He must be really busy.

It's not over, then. I see.

I can't let go of it until it is over.

Je-hun.

Are you okay?

Yes. I'm fine.

Mr. Kwon.

I'm glad you're back.

Thank you.

I can't believe this.

-Look at him smiling. -Congratulations.

Congratulations.

CHIEF OF FUTURE AND INNOVATION CENTER

Thank you, Dad, Aunt, and Uncle.

Hyuk, I told Wu-seong to give you all the support you need.

Tell him everything you need.

Will do, Dad.

By the way, shouldn't Hyuk have his own team?

Now that you gave him a nice position,

set up a nice team for him.

I don't need a team.

Revolutionizing the company by overseeing all the departments is my job.

My goodness. I think Hyuk's taking it really seriously this time.

You brat, you're too ambitious from the get-go.

-Hey, here. -Thank you.

-Good luck. -Thanks.

-Do it right. -Okay. I will.

Goodness.

What a cool office.

It takes decades for people like us to get a position like that.

That Rich Boy

got the position after doing the internship for a few months.

Our starting points are different.

Isn't that how the world works?

Goodness.

Are you and the Rich Boy completely over?

I'll never be friends with such an annoying bastard again.

Our paths

were different from the beginning anyway.

Yes, this is the Planning Department.

Yes.

No. Mr. Byun.

Pardon?

I see. Hold on.

Hey, Je-hun. Mr. Byun wants you in his office.

Tell him to come if he needs to talk to me.

Hey. I can't say that to him.

Go to his office now.

Hey, Je-hun.

Whatever.

Future and Innovation?

I doubt that he even knows what it means.

Hey, Je-hun.

I don't even know why the department has been made.

They just made him the chief of the department without a proper team.

Do they think this company is a joke?

Of course not. It's not a joke, Mr. Kwon.

I'm sorry, sir.

I kept telling him that he should go to your office.

It looks like you are very unhappy about my promotion.

I'm glad you know that.

I would like to elaborate on why you are unhappy.

-Come with me. -What's the point of going there?

-Talk to me here if you need to. -Mr. Kwon!

You must address me properly. I'm the chief as of today.

Come to my office now.

Damn him.

What? What if they fight again?

How was it?

Wasn't my acting awesome?

It's not that you're good at acting.

It's that Mr. Yang's too slow to realize you were actually acting.

I glared at you so hard that my eyeballs hurt.

So what?

Tell me.

We have to pretend that you and I are on bad terms for the sake of your plan.

So what's your plan?

We must find it.

The dual contract.

-The dual contract? -Yes.

Oh, no. They are about to have Round Two.

The dual contract?

We can investigate BS Company all we want, but it'll never lead to the chairman.

I'm sure there's a dual contract.

If I'm right, the chairman's name must be on it.

I see.

I just need a search warrant.

So even the prosecutor is frustrated because we can't get the warrant.

By the way, how will you do it on your own?

Of course, I can't pull it off alone. Can you help me?

-Goodness. -My gosh.

By the way, you're really not going to tell Jun?

This time,

we should leave her out of this.

It's too dangerous...

for her to get involved in this.

I think we're completely fooling them.

Just be quiet.

-Okay. -He's got a nasty temper.

-Shouldn't you stop them? -What? How?

-My gosh. -He threw it on the floor.

APPROVAL NEEDED

All right.

So you had a fight with Je-hun?

He was getting fresh with me instead of being grateful.

You must rule your subordinates with an iron fist,

or they won't listen. You can't use them then. Got it?

Okay, Dad.

Hello, Chairman Hong. To what do I owe this pleasure?

Is that so? Sounds good to me.

Of course I can adjust my schedule for you.

Let's get some fresh air. It's been a while.

Okay. I see.

Tomorrow at 9 a.m.?

Okay. See you tomorrow.

Hey, Park. I'm golfing with Chairman Hong tomorrow.

So tell Director Byun to make some time. Okay?

Yes, sir.

Dad,

-I need your approval. -Okay. I got it.

Happy?

-Here you go. -Okay.

-I can do it. -Good work.

Dad. Do you trust Hyuk?

Don't you find him suspicious?

I'm sure he's up to something.

Until Je-hun left for the Prosecutors' Office,

Hyuk was with him.

How can you be sure that they weren't in it together?

Dad, you are the one who has to get a grip

before Hyuk betrays you.

My gosh. I guess you're still busy.

You seem to be busy too.

You should take it easy.

Do you not care about what will happen to you later on?

What do you mean?

It's not over till it's over.

You know what I mean?

Ta-da. Isn't this coat beautiful?

It's 100 percent cashmere.

All right. And here.

Look at this bag. Isn't it cute?

I thought it'd look great on you, so I bought it for you, Jun.

And...

Ta-da. These are your shoes.

And this is a necklace.

And there's more.

Look at this. It's the newest laptop.

I saw your laptop the other day, and it looked quite old.

What do you think? You like them, right?

Why did you buy them for me?

This is too much. I can't accept them.

That's right. It's too much. Look at all these.

Only those who think they can buy people with money

would do such a vulgar thing like this.

My gosh. "Vulgar"?

Excuse me.

How could you say such a thing to my face?

Why can't I speak my mind?

Quit dreaming if you thought you could win over my daughter with these presents.

My daughter can't be bought with money.

Of course, I know that. That's why I like Jun.

Jun, I'm giving you these presents because I'm grateful to you.

Hyuk got promoted to the chief.

And I know that it's all thanks to you. That's why I'm giving you these.

-Promoted? -Chief?

Yes.

Thanks to you, he saved his friend and the company.

Ma'am,

starting now, you can't call Hyuk a moocher anymore.

He's a chief. Did you get that?

Do you think he got the position on his own merits?

It's obvious that his father gave him a title for nothing.

-My gosh! -What?

Please.

Could you two please stop fighting?

Hyuk and I aren't in a relationship yet like you think we are.

And Mom, he's not a bad guy like you think he is.

And stop badmouthing him.

It's not the time to be fighting right now.

Please stop fighting. Please?

Please!

Did you hear that? She's not in a relationship with him.

Not yet! She said they aren't in a relationship "yet"!

That means there's a possibility that they might be later on.

My gosh. Goodness.

What? They need to make up?

Yes.

It looks like Hyuk and Je-hun had a big fight the other day.

On top of that, Hyuk got promoted because of the incident.

I just get the feeling that at this rate, they won't be able to be friends again.

What do you think? Is there a good way to help them reconcile?

Anything?

Mr. Kim.

What?

Ms. An.

I'm not sure. I don't think you need to try...

What is it?

-It's nothing. -Right. It's nothing.

What is it? Just tell me.

You're really disappointing me.

Will you really not tell me?

I see how it is.

I guess you want to cut ties with me now.

I was happy that I was your friend. And it's been fun.

Come on. Jeez!

It's so frustrating.

Fine. I'll tell you.

-Hey! -Hey!

What is it? Can you please tell me?

They didn't fight.

What?

How could you leave me in the dark?

I can't believe you guys.

CONVERGING COSMETIC COMPANIES

Tomorrow morning, the chairman and Director Byun will go golfing.

Tomorrow will be our D-Day.

-What is it? -I'm not sure.

What could it be?

What? Do you need to talk to me?

Did you make up with Hyuk?

Have you gone mad? Why would I do that?

Is that so? You're really not going to be friends with Hyuk anymore?

Yes.

I see.

Okay.

Unbelievable.

What are you talking about? Why would I make up with Je-hun?

I won't do it before he apologizes first. Don't even think about it.

Is that so?

I see.

Okay.

That's how you guys are playing this?

Fine!

MS. BAEK

I'm sorry, Jun.

I don't want to keep a secret from you.

I hope you can understand this once.

This is between my dad and me.

This is not fair! Byun Gang-su!

You asshole!

You bastard, Byun Gang-su!

Other people might curse him out,

but I love my dad.

None, sir.

And I love my brother, too.

I'm doing this

for the sake of my dad and my brother.

I hope you can understand that, Jun.

Oh, my gosh.

My son. When did you get home, Hyuk?

Goodness.

What is it?

Did something happen?

Mom.

You know that I love you so much, right?

Of course, I do. My sweetheart.

I love you very much, sweetheart.

I'm sorry.

For what?

For everything.

Hyuk, I don't know what this is about,

but I'll be okay with everything.

A mom is okay with everything her child does.

That's what you mean to me.

Okay?

By the way, sweetheart, what kind of trouble is it this time?

I need to brace myself.

Darn it, I didn't even get to eat. Did you eat?

Yes, sir.

I'll see you there.

Okay. Sure.

We'll get going then.

How is it going over there?

Don't make any mistakes.

MANAGER KWON JE-HUN

Where are you going?

To the restroom.

Mr. Park.

Mr. Park, you need to go to the rooftop.

What do you mean?

Chief Byun and Manager Kwon are fighting again.

They had a huge fight in the lobby a few days ago, too.

Shouldn't you report this to the chairman first?

He's not in his office right now.

What should I do, then?

I got it.

-Everyone, follow me. -Yes, sir.

What are you doing? Find them now!

-Yes, sir. -Yes, sir.

Go climb up to the rooftop. Okay?

What is this? Who the heck are you?

Open up now!

-I'm sorry. -Open up.

It's cold today.

-I'm really sorry. -Open up.

Open up right now!

Hyuk, the passcode.

Okay. It's starting now.

My dad's birthday.

My mom's birthday?

My brother's birthday?

Se-na's birthday?

What on earth is it?

My dad's license plate number?

My mom's license plate number?

My brother's?

What on earth is it?

Hyuk, you. You didn't try your birthday.

No way. I doubt that he used my birthday.

I don't believe it.

DONGBUK CORPORATION'S FINANCIAL SYSTEM FROM 2000 TO 2001

There's a mountain of files.

When will we find it?

I'll help you.

Don't just stand there. Find it.

Jun, how did you find out...

-Hyuk, you! -No. I didn't tell her a single thing.

-Jun, how did you-- -I don't think we have time for that now.

I won't ask you why you left me out of this or give you a hard time for it.

Let's find the document first, okay?

Yes. Let's find it. We must do that first.

Forget it.

-Jun, get out of here now. -We don't have time for this now.

-Jun. -This might be a trap.

A trap?

Don't you know your father?

He wouldn't just leave his office unattended like this.

Don't you know anything about Director Byun?

There's no way he would make it easy.

No way.

Exactly. So we really don't have much time on our hands!

Got it, my friends?

-Let's find it now. -Let's do that. Hurry.

Find it now.

Hello.

Damn it.

Oh, no.

Darn it.

We'll talk about this later.

Wait, no. My gosh.

Oh, no.

Okay.

Oh, no.

Goodness, this is awful. Jun.

What's going to happen to them?

What should we do? They have nothing to do with BS Company.

Do you think there's another vault?

I'm not sure. I don't know that far.

What are you doing here?

Dad.

Wasn't I right? See?

You!

Park, check if it's safe.

Yes, sir.

STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT

It's safe, sir.

You can try all you want with your tricks, but I can see right through you.

I'm sorry, Dad!

-Run! -Hey, you.

Catch him! You punks.

-Catch them. Catch them now! -I'm sorry, Dad.

Catch them now!

That way!

Don't just stand there. Get them!

Seal off the building. No one can get out of here!

-Yes, sir. Run. -Yes, sir.

Damn it.

-Make way! -Hurry.

-Hey! Stop them. -Get them.

-My goodness. -Move!

-What are you doing? -Hurry! Get them now.

-Run! -Hey, hurry!

-Go! -Keep running!

-My gosh. -Out of my way!

Let's go!

-Step back. -What's going on?

Excuse me.

You can't leave.

Cover that.

Let's just make it to the lobby. Just one of us needs to get out.

Here.

Jun, you should stop here. Je-hun and I will take care of this.

Because I'm a girl?

-That's not what he meant. -See you in the lobby. Bye.

Jun...

-What should we do? -Let's make it to the lobby.

Be careful.

That way!

Are you seriously going to betray your own father?

You told me to challenge you.

It's all over now. You lost.

I'll deal

with the higher-ups with the power I have.

The power you have?

Will you bribe the police and the prosecutors?

Is that it?

Until when do you think that will work?

I'm sure it will continue to work.

That's the power money gives me.

Dad, why don't you just come clean this time?

Announce that BS Company was

a hidden subsidiary.

And come clean about evading taxes for all these years.

Let's pay taxes like we should've done.

Unbelievable. How much longer will you continue to disobey me?

Dad, I hate that you're breaking the law.

Let's put an end

to all the illegal activities you did through BS Company.

I did that so I can pass down more money to you guys later on.

I'm doing everything I can in my power

to make sure Gangsu Group will continue to exist generations after generations.

Dad.

I don't want to take a cent of your black money.

Okay. That worked out, then.

I won't give you a cent.

Get him now!

To make more of your black money,

how many people became victims like Mr. Baek Seung-gi?

How many people like Mr. Baek Seung-gi and Je-hun

did you have to sacrifice?

How dare you?

Turning a blind eye to injustice for the sake of money

only worked back in the day.

It doesn't work now.

You're not my son anymore.

I will always be your son...

who loves you.

-Je-hun. -Hyuk.

-Get rid of them. -Yes, sir.

Dad!

-Dad! -Come here.

Dad!

Stop!

Someone reported a robbery here.

I heard some people broke into the chairman's office.

-Me! -So did I!

That's right. We did it. You should arrest us right away.

I don't think this is necessary.

We must do it right.

Hurry.

As you guys are caught in the act,

don't resist my arrest. Just keep it quiet.

As this is the evidence, I'll take it with me for now.

What? A police officer?

-Who called them? -We don't know, sir.

Mr. Byun Hyuk and Kwon Je-hun have been arrested just now.

What about the contract then?

The police said it was evidence...

and confiscated it, sir.

What?

You...

Jun. Where's Jun?

Where a path ends, a new path opens up.

When one door closes, another opens.

When winter deepens, spring returns.

When I crumble, a stronger version of me rises from the ruins.

The best closure opens a path for a true beginning.

Honest despair brings forth hope.
