Assemblyman Gi apparently fell off the rooftop of Gangbo Hotel. [Episode 15]

Sounds like it was suicide.

How could that happen?

How could that be...

I must cut him off.

[Jae Yi]

Yes, Jae Yi.

Hey, Kang Hoo.

Can you really not come this evening?

Sure, I'll come.

Thank you.

- Jae Yi. - Yeah?

I love you.

I love you, Jae Yi.

Please wait for me for a moment.

Yes.

Send him up.

[Secretary Choi]

The tracker Choi Kang Hoo put on your car.

We might need to use that tonight.

Don't you feel uncomfortable being in this room?

It's a bit familiar.

It's my hotel.

Why wouldn't it feel familiar?

There isn't a single room I haven't looked at.

Haven't you thought I might tell Jae Yi?

If you were, you wouldn't have come to see me.

You're way more shameless than I expected.

But you're still Jae Yi's father. So I'm here to give you a chance.

How about you turn yourself in?

Turn myself in? For what?

Do I have to bring evidence to make you admit?

Is there evidence?

Should I remind you how you

brutally killed that "clingy bastard"?

You came.

Dad...

Clingy bastard.

Do you finally feel like turning yourself in?

I'll be honest with you since you supposedly know everything.

Was it wrong to kill Gi Do Shik?

He deserved to die, didn't he?

You should've killed Song Je Hyeok with that knife, then!

Don't you know what he did to Jae Yi?

That's why I got him killed for her.

Didn't I do my job as a father?

If you really killed Song Je Hyeok,

it probably wasn't for Jae Yi.

You're the one who killed Gi Yoon Chul, too.

Because the Angels' Club you created was exposed!

Like you said,

I'm a ruthless father who even sacrificed his daughter for his ambition.

But as time went by,

I realized how important sharing blood with someone is.

That's why I saved her when Song Je Hyeok tried to kill her at the hospital.

And you saw it, too.

Jae Yi is very loving toward me.

As long as you keep your mouth shut,

she could win love from her father.

It's something she has wanted her whole life.

What Jae Yi want has always been the truth!

Same with 10 years ago and now!

You should've known that much as her father.

So you have to punish me?

I understand.

I'll go to the police station on my own tomorrow morning.

You can give me that much time, right?

It's my last request...

as Jae Yi's father.

You'd better keep that promise.

Otherwise,

the ugly side of you will be broadcasted live everywhere in the country.

[Secretary Choi]

He's on his way. Finish him up.

[Jae Yi]

See you soon.

We'll be having dinner, just the two of us.

[Myung Eun Soo]

Yes, Mr. Myung.

Didn't you say you were leaving tonight?

I'm at the Port of Incheon right now.

I don't even see a captain to board me. Something's kind of off.

Could they have noticed something, by chance?

Hold on a second.

You're right.

Looks like...

Secretary Choi noticed something. He's on his way there.

Sir! I'll die, then! Help me! Help me!

Wait for me, then. I'll be right there.

[Queen of Masks]

[Voice Recording On]

[Maternity Journal]

[O negative]

She's been playing ignorant all this time?

Na Na, you came!

You're from next door, right?

Thank you for bringing her here.

Would you like to come in for a second?

I don't have to come in.

Where's Na Na's mom?

She went out for a moment.

I'm Na Na's babysitter.

I'll just tell you instead, then.

I don't want Na Na to hang out with my son from now on.

What do you mean...

You know what kind of man her father was.

It's scary to even think about having someone like that as a neighbor.

Looks like you don't know what's really scary yet.

Pardon?

Let me introduce myself formally.

I'll be living with Na Na in this house from now on.

Also,

is he your son?

Wow, he's so handsome.

I hope we become good friends.

Let's go. Let's go right now!

Hold on.

You should apologize to Na Na first.

Adults have to apologize to children if there were rude to them, too.

Na Na, I said the wrong thing. I'm sorry.

Let's go.

Na Na, you must've been upset.

Make sure to tell me if someone is rude to you from now on, okay?

Noona, I got you medicine! Take some!

Yoo Jung called me. I'll go meet her for a moment.

[Fantasy Club]

I'm about to be out on the street.

Can't believe she's partying.

She even lied that she was sick?

[Leo]

Yes, Leo.

Noona, did you meet up with Hae Mi by chance?

I don't know if you could say that.

But I did see her in front of the club.

We need to stop her! Hurry!

What's the problem? She already went inside.

There's no special party tonight. What brings you here?

I'm not here for the party.

I want to purchase directly. How can I do that?

We just let the customers bring stuff because it's a party,

but we don't deal officially.

I didn't ask you to sell officially.

I want you to sell to me unofficially.

I want the really nice stuff. I'll pay you handsomely.

You know Angels' Club, right?

There's this one drug the principal gave me through the back door before they got caught.

It's a five-star product.

What's this?

Leo, how did you know I was here-

- Let's get out. - Leo!

Who are you?

How dare you take my customer away?

- I'm her husband. - Husband?

Husband, my foot. Is he your pimp?

How dare you! He's really my husband!

You crazy bitch. How dare you bring your husband here?

How dare you! Hey!

Leo!

Leo!

Stop!

Don't hit my husband!

Don't! Don't!

Stop!

No!

Geez, what annoying assholes.

Are you okay?

[Kang Hoo]

[We'll be having dinner just the two of us]

Just the two of us?

Did you make a delicious dinner?

I'm hungry.

Are you waiting for Choi Kang Hoo?

A man who makes a woman wait isn't trustworthy.

I need to tell you something.

I...

will marry Kang Hoo.

So I hope you don't say rude things about him.

Okay. When is that fellow coming, anyway?

When are you coming?

I'm scared to death.

I'm looking for you right now.

Please wait a bit.

Hurry, hurry!

This is strange.

Secretary Choi's car suddenly disappeared.

Am I safe, then?

We don't know yet.

Oh, I see it over there!

Are you okay?

Looks like you haven't heard yet.

Your boss is done now.

And so are you.

Sir...

Where's the video?

The video you found 10 years ago.

Aren't you going to tell me?

You should leave first and wait for her.

Do Jae Yi will be there soon, too.

Hey! What are you doing over there?

Geez, what's this?

Move that right now!

Excuse me...

Please open the door!

The call is not going through. You'll be connected to the voicemail after the beep...

I don't think Kang Hoo is coming tonight.

Is he interested in marrying you, too?

I lost him. I'll look for him again.

Could you serve me some food?

I want more because it's so good.

Here, wipe your head with this.

- Thank you. - Should we go to the hospital?

Could I borrow your phone first?

The call is not going through. You'll be connected to the voicemail after the beep...

I think you should go to the hospital. You're bleeding...

I'm sorry, but could you take me to this place?

I beg you.

I enjoyed the meal very much.

I'm glad you liked it.

Could I ask you something if you're done eating?

What did you talk about with Assemblyman Gi yesterday?

I told you.

He came to argue with me because I reported him to the Prosecutors' Office.

He looked a bit out of it when he was leaving.

He looked a bit shocked, too.

I didn't tell you because I thought you might worry.

To be honest, he asked me for a favor yesterday.

And I said no.

What did he ask you?

As you assumed,

he appears to have killed Song Je Hyeok.

He said someone he trusted found out something and was threatening him.

So he asked me for my help.

But I said no.

He was about to get caught for murder in addition to Angels' Club.

So he committed suicide.

Who's the person he was talking about?

- Could it be Secretary Choi? - That's all I know.

Anyway, he died. It's all over.

I should get going now, then.

Let me see you off.

Didn't you bring your car?

I don't have to let everyone know about my schedule.

I'll get you a taxi, then.

Until when will you be staying at the hotel?

I'm not sure.

My wife doesn't want me to come home.

Anyway,

I asked you to call me father.

Are you not interested in doing that?

I told you. I...

don't have many days left to live.

Just once.

Can't you call me that just once?

Jae Yi!

Kang Hoo...

Kang Hoo!

Kang Hoo!

Kang Hoo!

Kang Hoo, wake up!

Please open your eyes! Please!

Please! Somebody help him!

Kang Hoo!

Please!

Please help him!

Well, Yoo Jung...

You must be very tired.

Go home and rest, Hae Mi.

Thank you.

Thank you, Noona. Get home safely.

You've done so much, Leo.

We need to stop her! Hurry!

What's the problem?

She went there to get drugs.

Drugs...

Like actual drugs?

I thought she quit!

She fell off the wagon.

Song Je Hyeok sent her to a drug party

and she lost control because of Mother-in-law.

Because of her mother?

Hae Mi knows that she took money from Song Je Hyeok.

I think she got disappointed in her because of that.

What you can do with a video like that?

What if I demand Hae Mi that money like you said?

Go ahead.

Yes, this is Joo Yoo Jung.

Pardon?

It's sore! It hurts!

Don't exaggerate.

I'm not exaggerating!

Aigoo, I could've killed them both only if I didn't get hit from behind!

How could they hit from behind? Should I fight them again properly?

I'm so angry. That asshole pushed you against the wall.

What?

Leo.

I'm sorry.

Noona.

There's actually something I need to tell you.

It's about Mother.

Mom worked with Angels' Club?

No way.

How could she...

But that's just wrong!

I didn't tell you to make you angry.

Why don't you try to understand her?

Understand what?

I'll go meet her.

Noona.

Yes, Yong Pil.

Pardon?

I'll be living with Na Na in this house from now on.

Also...

I'm a convicted murderer.

Na Na, I said the wrong thing. I'm sorry.

The first day I heard your heartbeat.

Your nickname is Miracle from now on.

Because you came to me like a miracle.

You already have arms and legs?

I'm so proud of you, Miracle.

[Abortion period: Within the first 14 weeks. Surgery is recommended within the first 10 weeks]

My Miracle. You're growing so well.

But I'm still not so sure.

Is it a good idea to have you when you have Song Je Hyeok's blood?

What if I get an abortion quickly

and donate my liver to Na Na?

Forgive me for having these thoughts.

I feel so tormented whenever I think about this.

So much.

You must've been suffering a lot, too.

Yes.

Pardon?

Kang Hoo?

This is Choi Kang Hoo's phone.

I collected the video from 10 years ago and the dash cam memory card from his car.

Is the original file important in this day and age?

He must've made a copy somewhere.

If Do Jae Yi find that...

I'll have to create a shield so she can't

do anything, even if she finds it.

I need to let Jae Yi know now.

That you can't trust anyone in this world.

Friends?

What a joke.

People are always driven by their desires.

I need to make sure she can't trust anyone.

Betrayal and trust are on two sides of the same coin.

The things Jae Yi's been trusting the most need to be destroyed completely.

Kang Hoo!

And then...

I'll make her my daughter entirely.

Kang Hoo...

[Chief Jo Yong Pil: Please answer the phone. I need to tell you something]

♫ The tiring memories hurt me out of the blue ♫

♫ I used to be okay being alone ♫

♫ The more I look at you, the more I forget about myself ♫

♫ I can't just ignore my heart as if nothing is going on ♫

♫ You're growing even more without me noticing it ♫

Has it already been three days?

I heard Jae Yi is sitting like a zombie at home.

I feel so tormented, too.

I can't even imagine how she feels.

Shouldn't we...

visit her?

Leave her alone.

She must need time to herself.

Let's just wait for her.

Anyway,

won't there be a funeral for Kang Hoo?

According to Yong Pil, they're doing an autopsy on Kang Hoo's body.

His parents want to delay it until the result comes out.

The gambler who supposedly killed him.

According to the news, he fled to China.

Doesn't that mean we'll never find out why that happened to Kang Hoo?

Are you okay?

What do you mean?

You're in bad condition, too.

Are you sick?

I'll get better soon.

I have to.

Otherwise, Leo would suffer too much.

How about you? Is the foundation okay?

Yoo Na noona.

When is Na Na's surgery?

Are you crazy, Mom?

Why did you get involved with a disgusting place like Angels' Club?

I wanted to build you a proper hotel! So what!

So what will you do now?

The members are getting arrested one by one!

What if someone says something about you?

I didn't do anything that bad!

I just connected the members together!

Connecting people in a criminal organization is a crime, too!

Mom.

You know that thing?

The ledgers showing the management of laundered money and slush fund of political and business figures.

Let's use that.

Let's just give them to those people

so you can save yourself and pay Yoo Jung back, too.

I can't do that.

- Why not? - That's the lifeline that maintains Daesungak!

I can't give up on its life for something small like this!

I'd rather go to jail.

Just go to jail, then.

Instead, pay Yoo Jung back!

Are you serious right now?

I don't have to pay her back, okay?

Mom.

You're killing me for keep doing this!

You keep making me do bad things!

Hae Mi.

I hate to see you being damaged, too.

But you should try to understand me, too.

I've been living for you and Daesungak my whole life.

If I give them the ledgers,

both you and Daesungak would be over! Over!

Hello?

Chairman Kang Il Goo?

Getting involved with Youngwoon is a bad move these days.

Who would try to invest in Youngwoon at times like this?

It'd be difficult to attract investors or sponsors until the situation calms down a bit.

Yes, this is Joo Yoo Jung.

Pardon?

You're Jae Yi's father?

Are you the one who called?

Yes. It's regarding a liver.

A liver for a four-year-old girl, right?

How much did our employee tell you it was?

He said it's 100 million won.

Huh? No, no, no.

It's this much.

300 million won?

Why is it three times more all of a sudden?

You said your daughter is type O negative.

I have to find someone and get to work for something so rare.

Get to work?

- You mean you'd kill someone? - What should I do, then?

We don't have anything like that in the inventory.

Yes.

Chairman Kang Il Goo?

Attorney Do!

Attorney Do, are you in there?

Attorney Do!

I told you to just leave me alone.

There's something I must tell you.

Mr. Choi actually came to see me before he passed.

I've been observing you for a long time.

I'm grateful that you've been working for her sincerely all this time.

That's why I wanted to ask you for a favor.

Instead, you must not tell Jae Yi what I'm about to tell you.

You don't want me to tell Attorney Do?

That'd be kind of difficult.

I'm on Attorney Do's side.

Exactly.

Since you're someone who'd be on her side no matter what,

I'm asking you this right now.

You could do me a favor, right?

Yes, tell me.

By chance...

if something happens to me,

make sure to tell Jae Yi to check my cloud storage.

It says the password is "the date you can't go beyond." When is that?

Only Jae Yi knows that.

It's something Jae Yi needs to check first.

By the way, what could happen to you?

Well...

I'm not sure yet.

This is for an emergency situation.

I'm still not sure what's going on,

but I'll do that.

Thank you.

Kang Hoo gave you this?

Yes, I guess he couldn't trust me, either. He didn't tell me the password.

Do you know what that might be?

[Password: The date you can't go beyond]

"The date you can't go beyond."

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

Also...

This is the 500 million won that was found in his car.

The police seem to think his death was related to this.

Why did Kang Hoo have that much money?

I have no idea what's going on.

Could that money be related to Mr. Choi's cloud storage,

not the man named Myung Eun Soo?

Attorney Do, Mr. Choi said you must see what's in it.

Please make sure to check.

[800817]

[130218]

What were you going to make, by the way?

The chicken stock I put in your ramen.

Why does it take so many ingredients?

Don't you know how much effort it takes?

Instead, you have to finish quickly since it's homemade.

Let's make a lot of tasty things using this later.

I want to learn, too. Teach me.

It's okay. I'd be doing this for the rest of my life.

- I want to try. - Come on!

Don't do it! I'll do it.

No, I just want to try for a bit.

It's okay! You'd hurt yourself!

- Why would I hurt myself? - Just have a seat!

Sit.

There.

I'll do it for the rest of my life.

"The date you can't go beyond."

[Expires on: 23. 04. 26]

[Voice Recording On]

Jae Yi.

If you're listening to this,

something must've happened to me.

But I'll be careful so nothing happens.

I'm recording this just in case.

I'm on my way to meet someone named Myung Eun Soo.

To explain who he is,

we have to go back to 10 years ago that day.

I'll tell you the truth of that day now.

Welcome.

You guys.

You should have a seat there, too.

I'm sorry for making you come to a place that holds bad memories for you so late at night.

Why did you make us come here if you're sorry?

By chance, did you call us because you're worried about Jae Yi?

No.

It's because I wanted to say something to the three of you.

I learned that you're all in a difficult situation by chance.

I couldn't just pretend I didn't know about it.

So I'm thinking of giving you a hand.

First of all, Ms. Go Yoo Na.

Could I find a liver for Na Na by chance?

You'd find a liver...

for Na Na?

I'll find it for you by searching all over the world.

Chairwoman Joo Yoo Jung.

Did you know that I sponsored Youngwoon Foundation

since it was run by your late parents?

Yes, I did.

I heard you were a major sponsor.

Thank you.

I don't want Youngwoon Foundation to fail like this, either.

I'll protect the foundation for you.

Really?

Your mother has been having a hard time lately, right?

Do you know... my mom?

I'll do my best so nothing bad happens to her.

Really?

I'm so thankful,

but why are you doing this for us suddenly...

Under one condition.

I want you to...

cut ties with Jae Yi.

Is this the best you can do?

Dad...

What a clingy bastard.

So he wants us to cut ties with Jae Yi for helping us?

Why do we have to do that?

He said her life ended up this way because of us.

But why do I feel like he didn't say that for Jae Yi,

but because he has an ulterior motive?

I did get the chills as well.

Kang Hoo ended up that way, too.

Shouldn't he ask us to be there for her?

That's true, but...

So will you not get help from him?

He said he'd help us only if we cut her off.

You've got to be kidding me.

I'm kind of desperate right now.

- Me, too. - I'm the same way.

What do you think we should do?

No matter what you decide to do with Kang Il Goo,

the decision is up to you.

And I'll respect your decision.

I love you.

It won't take long.

Just wait, Kang Hoo.

I analyzed Secretary Choi's movement pattern up until the point he found out

about Mr. Choi Kang Hoo's tracker,

Other than his house, Gi Yoon Chul and Kang Il Goo's houses,

he frequented an apartment in Daegok-dong.

It turns out he rented out the place himself.

What do you think it was for?

An apartment...

[Choi Kang Hoo]

I don't know.

The treasures we're looking for might be there.

Let's invade that apartment first.

Yes, but is this really necessary?

We even have conclusive evidence.

Kang Il Goo has connections everywhere, including the government,

Prosecutors' Office, and the police.

I'll take everything he has and destroy him completely

so it's impossible to escape, no matter what forces he uses.

You should be in charge of Secretary Choi.

I'll be in charge of his family.

- His family? - Yes.

He killed Kang Hoo, who was like family to me.

I should cut his family off for him, too.

Because his family means money to him.

Do you have a reservation?

No, I'll use the special room that doesn't require reservations.

You can't use the special room.

I know. It's exclusive to the Gangbo Group's family.

But I'm a part of that family, too.

Gangbo Group's Chairman, Kang Il Goo, is my father.

So he was the owner of the secret club called Angels' Club?

You're lying.

Do you have evidence?

The money he hid at the paper company in Hong Kong that's under my name.

All of that came from the Angels' Club.

It'll be revealed if you report to National Tax Service and follow the money trail.

They can even find out who used my name illegally.

What is it that you want?

Gangbo Group's shares?

Or...

do you want your name in the family registry or something?

Divorce him.

If so, Angels' Club will no longer be the group's problem.

It'd only affect Kang Il Goo individually.

Divorce?

You've been treating me like a servant all this time.

Now you want to get rid of me?

You think I'd just let it happen?

The reason why I came here myself instead of sending a lawyer is

because there's something too shameful to tell even the lawyer about.

You probably know what I'm talking about.

Let's take care of this quietly.

Look over the paper thoroughly and contact me through my lawyer.

Well, then...

What brought her here suddenly?

Is Jae Yi on the move, by chance?

We should get moving, too.

How about her friends?

Chairwoman!

Gangbo Group sent an agreement to donate 10 billion won to the foundation.

I think we could put out the fire with this for now.

[Youngwoon Cultural Foundation]

Na Na's relative from the US registered at the donation center.

We'll start the examination soon.

I got calls from the members of the Angels' Club.

They promised they won't mention my name.

Where...

are we right now?

Come this way.

Have a seat.

It's still empty because the construction hasn't started yet.

I hope you understand.

I'd like to say thank you.

I got a call from the donation center.

The members of the Angels' Club promised they won't get Mom involved, as well.

We received the donation agreement.

Thank you.

Thank you for deciding to accept my gifts.

You'll have to keep your promise to cut Jae Yi off, too.

Since we're on the same team now,

I prepared more gifts. Open them.

What...

is this?

They're the new masks for the new secret club that'd be built here.

By chance,

are you...

- Angels' Clubs- - I...

am the one who created the Angles' Club.

I'm not ashamed of creating a secret club like that.

The top 1% that controls the world

get tortured with extreme stress and pressure.

But they get to take a breather by putting on those masks. Is that so wrong?

So you're telling us to join the new club?

No.

I want you to become

the queens of the new club.

Ms. Go, you have a natural charm that attracts people.

Please recruit members using your charm.

Chairwoman Joo. Please launder money by keeping the club's profit at the foundation.

Ms. Yoon, please run the club using the skills you acquired by running the hotel.

I can create the best secret club in Korea with the three of you.

You'd have all the money and power in the country.

What do you think of my proposal?

What if we decline your proposal?

Unfortunately, I'll have to take back the gifts I sent you.

You'd no longer be on my side, either.

What would you like to do?

Will you accept my gift?

Shouldn't we meet up sometime?

♫ Who are you, Mister? ♫

♫ And why I can't find you? ♫

♫ I pray, I wish ♫

♫ After waking from ♫

You came.

♫ Truth has come ♫

♫ Show me your truth ♫

What are you guys doing here...

They're no longer your friends from now on.

They're my guests.

♫ I can't find you ♫

♫ Don't care, don't lie, don't care about you ♫

What did he mean just now?

♫ Who are you, Mister? ♫

I just asked you what he meant!

Do you think...

we could pull it off?

We have no choice. It's for our survival.

Let's think of this as putting on a mask.

A mask of betrayal.

[Queen of Masks]

♫ Who are you, Mister? ♫

♫ And why I can't find you? ♫

♫ Don't care, don't lie, don't care about you ♫

This is a new mask for the new secret club I'm starting.

You should improve your power using that, too.

I'll never back off.

Looks like Do Jae Yi is trying to win her friends over.

- Is she? - That means they're plotting together.

I'll give you Jae Yi's money laundering ledger.

You can trust me now, right?

You have to trust the most powerful person to gain power.

I'll try putting on that mask.

Do you mean it?

Please welcome me to the new club.

Let's try working together, Father.

Yes, join me.

Thank you for trusting me, Jae Yi.

This is the place.

What would you like me to do?

You killed Kang Hoo.

I'll never forgive you.

You'll suffer so much more pain

than the one you inflicted on Kang Hoo.

Goodbye.
