Episode 24

Dad!

Dad!

Dad!

I was wrong, Dad!

Lee Dong Chul didn't do anything wrong.

Bring her to the boat.

Dad!

I was wrong, I was wrong, Dad. Please don't do this!

Everyone in this world says that...

Guk Dae Hwa's right hand man...

... is you, Lee Dong Chul.

This right arm,

will stop here.

Stab.

President...

Stab it, you bastard!

Dad!

Dad!

Don't!

Stab!

Dad.

I was wrong, I was wrong!

Don't, don't do this!

Don't!

Episode 24

Are you like me?

Someone who does not regret even if we pay with our lives...

If you call out for me, no matter where you are, I will go towards you...

A person like that is here...

If even the heart is broken, this is enough...

I will give my heart to you, I am pained when you are not here

Please promise me, if you become like me...

I will do anything for you...

2 years later

Okay, put two more in.

Good work.

Anything regarding scrap metal will be delivered for free.

Of course!

From towing to disposal...

Towing is free... yes, yes...

Hold on a moment.

Hello?

Yes that's right...

Client Kim Jong Chul, how do you do?

Your disposal document?

Hold on for a moment.

The disposal document has been mailed out already.

Yes, yes. Thank you.

Hello?

Lee Dong Chul!

Do you not see me?

Hey, Lee Dong Chul!

Don't mind him.

He will come down when he's finished with his work.

Lee Dong Chul!

Come down quickly!

Baek Gu Seok!

Don't yell around at other people's workplace.

That's very impolite.

Dok Sa!

Yes, Hyungnim?

Let's change shifts!

Okay!

You still bow to me.

From now on...

How many times do I have to come here...

It doesn't matter how many times you come here.

I will not change my decision.

I know.

How long will you let me look up to speak to you?

Sit down.

Dong Chul.

It's not that easy.

I understand.

Without me...

You can still do well.

It's really good to see.

Even though this is a scrap yard,

the land must be valuable.

I heard you are going to build your kingdom here.

That's right, you should.

This...

Take it.

This is your portion of the profit from the Pusan slot machines.

I believe I don't have any reason to accept this.

Dong Chul.

Same with me.

This portion,

I have no right to hold on to it.

Also,

It's better to keep the account straight.

President,

I have decided to live my life like this.

Okay.

But...

The opening of the casino still needs to be done.

You are good with the casino and slot machines.

Without Dong Chul,

I don't feel at ease.

International dealings...

To tell the truth, are in ruins.

I'm sorry.

Next time,

when I come,

I will kneel on the ground and talk to you.

Mother!

You brought food?

Yes.

You didn't go to work today?

It's because today is Dok Sa's birthday, so I prepared a birthday lunch for you.

Our mother is the best!

How old are you today?

I'm 30 this year.

Really...

No way...

What are you doing here?

My son has finally decided to live a honest life,

why must there always be strange people coming here?!

Mother.

Hurry up and leave, I don't welcome you here!

Dong Chul...

Isn't he the head of the gambling mob?

Mother, you go in first, I'll be there soon.

First time meeting you.

This first time will also be the last time.

I'm sorry.

It's alright.

Your mom,

seems to be very tired.

All moms are like that.

I missed you, I will come again.

What is this? Is it worth very much?

Did he use this to convince you?

Mom, give it to me.

I will return it to him, don't worry.

As a gambler, he looks good because he lives and eats well.

Don't fall for it.

Dong Wook didn't contact you yet?

Yes.

Before the results came out, after the test.

He said there are a few places he wanted to see.

And then there has been no contact from him.

He probably went out to get some fresh air.

That Shin Tae Hwan...

is a murderer!

I couldn't do it.

But he threatened me,

to ignite the bombs,

and bury them alive.

I said...

Some people may die in the mine.

You can't do it.

But I have to eat to survive.

What was the price?

I received money.

I took the bag of money.

And escaped immediately.

Afterwards, I found out,

Union Head Lee Ki Chul had died.

It was me.

It was me.

I deserve to die!

I killed Union Head Lee Ki Chul!

I am a murderer.

Shin Tae Hwan is also a murderer!

Father, I think this secret is going to destroy Cheon Duk Bo.

For the time being, keep this a secret from your wife.

If we succeed this time,

40 thousand square feet greenbelt,

the land for development, may become ours.

Then no one will underestimate Tae Sung.

That 40 thousand square feet,

is out of our imagination.

That is why I'm working day and night.

We will have to work with the city hall, and also the White House.

Is that possible?

You...

Do you know who holds the key to this?

Is it the White House?

The bullet will not make a detour,

and head straight for the target.

That's why it's possible.

You said we won't need to make a detour.

If a detour happens...

Isn't it Cheon Duk Bo?

It's Hong Jung Ho, right?

Yes.

Well done.

Only 2 more contacts to go,

and we will be able to touch the source of power.

It's important to bribe the right people.

Just pretend that it's a campaign contribution.

This time, you are really a big cause.

It is an honor to be appointed by the president.

But it is also a very scary thing.

Of course there will be burdens.

Just like what is written here, it's a lot of pressure to carry the country's fate on your back.

What needs to be done will be completed by me before your return.

I put my trust in you.

But...

Lee Dong Chul.

Is he not listening to you?

Yes.

He has a very stubborn temper.

Maybe the incident with my daughter has caused a great scar.

Seems like he decided to cut all ties.

Duk Bo,

why don't you meet up with him?

Hello.

Yes?

Hold on a moment.

It's a call from Hong Kong.

Who is this?

Really?

I will make a call.

Hello?

I told you to take care of the situation, what have you been doing?

I'm sorry, Rebecca.

I know you are very worried over this, I'm sorry to have caused you stress.

- I'm very sorry. - If you still want to work with our bank,

You should set an example.

The person taking care of this has escaped overseas.

This situation cannot become too complicated.

I am sorting this out quietly.

I will repeat myself again.

It is fortunate that our bank has been able to take care of this,

to avoid embarrassment.

Our misunderstanding.

I will send someone over to repair the damage.

This time, will there be a trustworthy person?

For example...

Someone like Lee Dong Chul?

We've worked well before.

Why are you not using him?

If only you forgive us this one time,

we will do our best to ask.

Was it Rebecca?

Still Lee Dong Chul...

Hello?

It's me.

Oh, Hyungnim!

Yes.

The surgery was successful.

But I cannot sit for a long time.

I sent some documents, were they useful?

I'm having a meeting with Duk Bo.

Hold on...

It's me, President.

How is your health?

I feel impatient doing nothing, when work is piling up at the office!

Don't be impatient.

Isn't Hye Rin doing a good job?

Teach Hye Rin well.

She's still young, what does she understand? I only believe Cheon Duk Bo.

Please take good care of her.

Please get well soon.

Thank you for the documents.

President Min's daughter,

is she doing a good job?

Yes.

It is frightening how smart she is.

How can you leave in the middle of a meeting?

Remember this, Bureau Chief.

I, Min Hye Rin, am I only a mannequin standing in for my father?

Why are you objecting to everything I say?

Hansae Daily is not a university newspaper.

It cannot be like a report by activists.

The report cannot be a mirror of the society.

We must exaggerate the news.

Why can't we tell the truth to the society?

The politicians want to reinforce their power throughout the country,

and trick the public into thinking that it is a good thing.

And our newspaper is deciding how to applaud them.

How much more do you want Hansae Daily to be in order to gain power?

Please forgive me and listen to what I have to say.

When this administration pledged to safeguard the constitution,

I remember this paper was also the paper that gushed about it being an excellent decision.

To tell the truth, our newspaper can't be compared to a university newspaper.

Please calm down and have a seat.

There is an important matter that we haven't informed President Min of yet.

Right now, the problem within our newspaper,

is very bad.

President doesn't even know this.

The union wants to expose our newspaper.

If exposed, there is nothing to be ashamed of.

What is the problem?

What?

Why are you so surprised?

What they are doing is no different from accusing your father.

If the accusation is only for my father,

wouldn't it be easy to manage?

How...?

We have to cut off all power that opposes him.

What?

If it's for the development and change of our newspaper,

exposure is good, but...

if it is towards my father,

it must be stopped immediately.

Without checking their opinion?

Of course.

The wolf cannot eat the sheep in the drawing.

And so...

Please go back to the meeting.

I still have an appointment.

Hansae Daily.

It's me.

The newspaper wants to know the results of the bar exam.

Is the list out yet?

Who got the first place?

Oh, you're here.

What? Sit down.

Dong Wook, do you still remember we drank here?

Of course I remember.

It was the first day of school.

You asked me why I used the back door.

At that time, I thought how can there be a man like that.

You are very innocent.

You must continue to live like this.

The back door to the newspaper is okay.

I found it.

The person who set the bombs?

I said I was a reporter for Hansae Daily, so I got the report.

I got to meet up with a witness too.

Only now you know?

The power of a newspaper.

You used our power well?

Thank you.

What do you want to eat?

Hold on a moment.

I'm sorry, we can't have a drink here today.

I'm sorry.

Why?

No matter what I say, don't be surprised, Dong Wook.

And don't be too proud.

The bar exam...

You passed it, Dong Wook.

What?

You passed it.

Are you playing a joke on me?

It's true that you passed, Dong Wook.

I just heard from the newspaper.

And Hansae Daily will interview you.

Where are you going?

To Hyung!

I knew it.

Didn't I say we can't drink today?

Hurry up and go.

I'm sorry, sorry!

Hyung!

Hyung!

Hyung!

Dong Wook.

What's the matter, Dong Wook?

Hyung...

I passed.

What?

The bar exam.

I passed the bar exam, Hyung!

You did it.

You did it.

You waited long, right Hyung?

Dong Wook.

Father must be very happy.

Father.

Hyung.

Hyung is my father.

Mother!

Mother!

Sister!

Mother!

What happened?

Sis, Dong Wook did it!

Dong Wook did it!

What did you say?

I passed, Mom!

I passed!

He got first place, Sis!

- Dong Wook. - Yes! Yes, Mother!

Terrific.

Good.

Good.

But...

Your brother... Dong Chul...

Go tell your brother.

Why didn't you go tell your brother first?

Sis, he already told him.

Dong Chul's father, thank you.

Dong Chul's father, thank you!

Dong Chul's father, thank you!

You came.

You came.

Did you eat dinner?

How are you, Father?

I'm okay.

You look very tired.

I now understand the reason why Father fell sick.

You should behave well towards the director of the newspaper.

The sound of your temper has been heard all the way here.

He wants to make Hansae Daily a government newspaper.

Does he have the aspiration to become a politician?

No, anyone can be the director.

If I were the owner of the newspaper,

I would have fired him today.

Hye Rin, how long are you going to talk like an activist?

Because of him, a lot of reporters have left.

The newspaper is not suited for me.

No one asked you to take responsibility of the newspaper.

Only until your father gets better, you will be running his errands for him.

Please recover quickly, Father.

That... Cheon Duk Bo.

Have you talked to him about the new property of Hansae Daily?

He probably asked Seong Yang to talk to him.

I said I would try it out myself first.

But, Father...

Lee Dong Wook passed the bar exam in first place.

Hye Rin.

Hye Rung gave up on Mr. Baek.

Now you should open up to him.

Mother...

Mr. Baek,

is accompanying his parents on a vacation.

You should decide when he comes back.

Mother.

I don't understand how you're able to think it through.

But I can't be like you.

Opening and closing my heart,

...is not up to you.

Think of Hye Rung.

The pain Hye Rung unni went through,

was caused by you, you should understand.

Yes.

It's understandable that you are surprised.

I felt it wouldn't be clear, if we talked on the phone.

So I came here.

Why did you come here?

Yes...

I came here because of you.

Amazing.

Yes...

You can't be satisfied with just the scrap yard.

Have a seat.

Just you and I here.

So I will speak frankly.

The money from the Hong Kong bank,

must be moved immediately.

There's no one that's more suitable than you for this job.

The delivery matter scared Rebecca.

She wants you to go.

I'm sorry.

I have decided to live a quiet life.

I heard you did this for your brother.

Of course, that is not the whole reason.

Listen to me.

Your brother is an activist.

His activities have earned him a dirty reputation, even among those that don't know him.

I heard he wants to be a district attorney.

I am a district attorney.

In our country, the district attorney's office is a very conservative department.

Do you think a person with that kind of history will be accepted?

Mr. Duk Bo...

Are you using my brother's future to bargain with me?

What I mean is this is something you can't stay out of?

To be frank,

who saved your brother from the detention center?

But, this is not all.

The people who were in charge all disappeared.

There was a big project that would take 10 years to complete.

Give this place to someone else to look after,

and go to Hong Kong immediately.

It is an urgent matter.

With your temper,

even President Guk can't convince you.

I'm requesting a favor.

I heard this machine can lay golden eggs, now I believe it.

So that is how a slot machine is.

I can imagine the fortune President Guk is raking in from the casino.

All of this is,

because of your wife.

We are number two in hotel store sales rankings in the country right now.

Since we started 5 years later than our competitor,

it is quite an accomplishment.

We are not number one so don't be proud yet.

We have to set up a store that sells traditional Korean things.

Even if the price is higher,

we must use the best brands.

Yes, I understand.

You must pay more attention to the training of our employees.

Our training and products still have a long way to go.

Then...

See you tomorrow.

What's going on?

Congratulations on the opening of the slot machines.

I got these from the hotel flower shop.

I wanted to congratulate you immediately.

Have a seat.

The gift is too small, I will prepare a new one.

This is a time for Father to be happy?

I am in a very good mood.

Now we only need the casino.

Tae Sung will be able to do anything.

Ji Hyun.

You did a good job.

Department Chief Ahn called.

Really?

He wants me to tell you thank you.

What's the matter?

There's something.

The success of the slot machines has nothing to do with Tae Ho.

Our Tae Ho needs his mom the most.

The fever is cooling down, the flu seems to be gone too.

When he needs his mom the most,

what was I doing, I thought about this a lot.

To you, Tae Ho is everything.

Why don't you stop working and take care of Tae Ho.

If you want to do that,

you'll have to do a poor job at work.

You do a better job than me.

How about I stop working,

and look after Tae Ho at home?

About Department Chief Ahn...

What is it?

You don't need to know.

Why are there so many things I don't need to know?

You left the factory, what are you doing every day?

You don't need to know too much.

Do one thing well, honey.

The electricity job is very important.

You take care of the electricity job.

Don't nag too much.

I'm barely surviving.

If you become like this,

I will explode.

Honey, do what you want to do.

If you don't want to do something,

even if it's Father's order, don't do it.

Don't tell me what to do.

I'm staying strong to hang on.

Hello?

Hello?

Hello?

A day like a thousand years.

A thousand years like one day.

Then...

We have lived for 2 thousand years?

Yes.

Ahjussi!

- You must destroy it so you can rebuild it. - Stop it!

I love you, Ahjussi.

I love you, Ahjussi.

I love you, Beggar Ahjussi!

Hello?

Hello?

Hello?

Ahjussi...

Ahjussi...

Guk Ja?

Guk Ja, where are you?

Can Ahjussi come to Macau?

Guk Ja, what's wrong? Is there something wrong?

Just this once...

Come here.

Guk Ja!

Are you well there?

I'm well.

Then isn't that enough?

Ahjussi, just this once,

I want to see you.

Please come see me just this once.

Why are you being so foolish?

Guk Ja.

You can't do something like this again.

Just once...

Let me see you, Ahjussi.

Please, I'm begging you!

I'm hanging up.

I really yearn for

Yearn for love

Only you, is not enough

If I sinned

That is because I love you too much

It's my mistake

Don't wait until separation

Don't tell me to forget you

I'm afraid that it will be hard to turn around and walk away

I can't even cry

Wait until our rebirth, will you not able to love me?

You really can't give your heart to me?

How can I forget you?

[Activist Lee Dong Chul passed the bar exam in first place.]

Until I stop breathing

I love you

How much pain must I be in for you to return to my side?

How much do I have to cry for you to return to my side?

How can I erase you?

I will always wait for that day

Forever...

You have protected the poor, and now you have passed the bar exam.

Please tell us how you feel.

I want to say that our country's bar exam is not corrupt.

Please give us a comment on passing in first place.

The bar exam is not used to choose geniuses,

so passing it is nothing.

Some people say that activist Lee Dong Wook, - Myung Hun.

Might be corrupted.

Changing the world cannot happen from flyers.

My past thoughts have been too simple.

But now I have changed my view.

Some people once told me that I have to be prepared in order to change the world.

Who are those people?

My mom and my brother.

What kind of law will you be practicing?

I wish to be a criminal prosecutor who can bring justice to those with corrupted power.

This is my personal agenda.

My father died an innocent death.

I want to see the truth come out.

I will start with this first.

I will find the murderer.

You got the highest entrance score to Seoul University and now the highest score on the bar exam.

Do you have any studying tips to share?

Myung Hun.

Yes.

Do you have his contact number?

Why, Grandfather?

I want to see this child.

You want to see this rascal?

Isn't he preparing to say that our family is the murderer?

I want to go tell him that it is not the truth.

Do not mind him, Father.

He just passed the bar exam, it doesn't mean he will be able to become a criminal prosecutor.

Why do you need to see him?

That child,

has lived a life filled with revenge and hatred.

I want to sort things out with him.

What is the use of talking to a person who speaks nonsense?

Even if it was murder,

he doesn't even know there is a statute of limitation.

The statute of limitation is 15 years,

but the incident happened 30 years ago.

Why do you mention the statute of limitation?

Myung Hun.

You must call him here.

I want to listen to what he has to say.

Please let it be, this is not something Father should do!

Yes.

Please do not mind it, Grandfather.

We are not his enemies, why must he say we are?

If you won't do it, I will call him myself.

He's not at the age of dementia yet, why must he do everything?

The person who is disagreeing with Father,

...is you.

Myung Hun.

You must stop it.

That Shin Tae Hwan...

is a murderer!

I couldn't do it.

But he threatened me,

to ignite the bombs,

and bury them alive.

Welcome!

I came here to see the owner.

What's the matter?

I want to speak to him personally.

Boss, you have a guest here!

Let's go.

What's the matter?

I'm from Hansae Daily.

Hansae Daily?

If you are here for that matter, I have already made myself clear.

I know.

That's why I came here personally.

I have purchased property next to your land.

- I need this land as well. - I cannot sell this land to anyone.

Please expand somewhere else.

I heard the owner was young,

that's why I came here.

I knew I would get rejected. About the land...

Hansae Daily already spoke to me several times, and also came to a conclusion.

I brought some conditions with me.

If you sell this land to us,

there won't be any ill effects. I'm sorry.

I don't want to discuss this any further.

Excuse me.

I think we have met two or three times before.

Do you remember?

You gave me a ride on your boat,

and on your bike.

And the martial arts center...

We met there too.

I know.

You do remember.

I want to ask you one more time.

The newspaper is going through a new movement.

It is the same as declaring a newspaper war.

- Because of that, the management feels an urgency... - Let me interrupt.

I have future plans for this land too.

Really?

I am very busy today so I shall head back.

Since you don't agree,

I may come back again.

No.

Don't come back.

The answer will still be the same.

I knew this would not be easy before coming here.

Then goodbye for today.

I will come back.

Hyungnim, the newspaper wants to buy the land again?

Yes, I'm Lee Dong Wook, who are you?

Please hold on...

I am Tae Sung's President Oh.

I saw your interview.

Do you have time?

No!

I have nothing to discuss with anyone from Tae Sung.

Please wait!

From what I hear,

Lee Ki Chul,

your father's death is related to Tae Sung.

Since you have passed the bar exam,

pointing fingers at innocent parties,

...is against the law; you should be clear on this matter.

Innocent?

I have ears to listen.

I will wait for you.

Aunt.

Are you really going to film a movie?

Yes.

I am very content with the character,

that's why I have decided to do it.

I'm playing the role of Madame Beloved Mount's cabaret friend.

Look here, Madame Beloved Mount...

Even if love has ended, it still left memories.

Even if the leaves have turned into soil, our burning love is still here.

Let's leave everything to love.

Aren't those the lyrics to a popular song, Aunt?

Really?

No wonder the script sounded familiar.

That face... that face...

It's so embarrassing.

Please don't walk out looking like that.

People will say you ate a dead rat.

I resigned my job because of you, I still have to do something to survive.

Why don't you help around the restaurant?

Don't mind me!

One day, I will become the main character with my beautiful face.

Hello everyone, hello everyone!

Manager is here to invite the actress.

Manager?

I think you are here looking for punishment.

Manager, did you come here in a taxi?

Of course.

A big actress like Ok Hee cannot go on the public transit!

The same kind of face...

Manager, let's go. Okay.

Also, the script is too cheesy.

Where did you find it? From a popular song?

We are going. I say...

Is it true she's filming for a movie?

Yes, who am I?

This time...

Because my business has been successful,

the film has been very successful.

If only this movie becomes a hit,

I will be able to earn a lot of money.

Please support us.

We are leaving.

Ok Hee!

I don't like his face.

Where are you going?

I am taking care of my own business from today.

I have always helped out mom before.

Why must you say things like that?

You still have to learn,

there is no end to learning law.

Where are you going?

I will tell you when I come back.

Start from now on.

Don't put your energy and time into worthless things.

Sis, don't talk anymore.

Go quickly, come back early tonight.

Ki Sun said we need to celebrate tonight.

Have a seat.

Thank you for coming here.

I was scared by what I saw on TV.

Can you tell me a reason for saying those things?

If I...

answer President's question,

will you believe what I say?

You are a smart child.

You should know why I called you here.

I can't rely on Myung Hun.

Also...

Go see Lee Dong Wook.

Shut his mouth.

Father.

I can't do it.

Can't do it?

How could you forget so fast,

what you said when you sat over there?

When you said you want to become Tae Sung's daughter-in-law, I clearly refused you.

You should know the reason.

I need a daughter-in-law who can carry forward.

In my eyes, you are not someone like that.

But you said so yourself.

You have the skills to carry Tae Sung forward.

You are keeping your word right now.

But there's another condition.

You will not refuse anything that Shin Tae Hwan says.

I was moved by you,

that's why I changed my decision and accepted you.

You...

...said so yourself that you are the shield.

If you are part of Tae Sung, the two brothers can't do anything.

Go.

This is the time for you to prove your words are true.

Father.

But that's...

Director!

Lee Dong Wook is here!

What are you saying?

Right now, in the president's room.

That Shin Tae Hwan...

is a murderer!

I couldn't do it.

But he threatened me,

to ignite the bombs,

and bury them alive.

Director Shin Tae Hwan has the crime of being a murderer.

I did it!

I am also a murderer.

- Shin Tae Hwan is also a murderer! - Now is it innocent?

Director Shin Tae Hwan killed my father.

Since then, my family has suffered.

Your son-in-law,

Shin Tae Hwan.

Burned our house in order to keep this secret.

And sent my brother to youth detention and made him become an illegal immigrant.

Stop it!

Don't say anymore.

Stop.

President!

President.

President.

President!

Lee Dong Wook, you...

You are a murderer!

What?

You bastard!

Call the police!

He killed someone!

Call the police!

President... President...

What?

What did you say, Ji Hyun?

What was Dong Wook doing there?

Oppa.

It happened right beneath my eyes.

But I don't believe it.

Right now,

I can't even believe what I see.

Looks like Lee Dong Chul came here in a hurry.

Did you do this to hide your crime?

You framed my brother as a murderer.

You know my brother would never do something like that.

Your brother,

will be released tonight.

But...

You must go to Hong Kong tomorrow morning.

What did you give up?

What Hyung did, do you think I feel at ease?

There is someone you must meet in secret.

I'm sorry.

How did she become like this?

Guk Ja, open your eyes.

Child!

Go see Lee Dong Wook.

We have all been cheated.

Don't look over here.

I'm sorry.

I wish you would stop seeing our Hye Rin.

Guk Ja.

If you don't like it here, how about coming back with me?

Ahjussi!

Ahjussi!
