I'm going to burn it all... leaving nothing.

Episode 24

The traces of me being with you and the feelings I held in my heart for you.

I'll burn it all and wipe you clean as if you were never there in my life.

How can I forgive you? How can I understand you?

Who are you? Why are you doing this?

What the heck are you going to do?

I heard the difference between a brilliant strategy and a bad strategy is only paper-thin.

I am pinning my hopes on that piece of paper.

Chairman Seo has a 500-year-old snake in his belly.

There's no way he'll take this lying down.

He can frame you just with your company stock he is holding.

I started with nothing, so I have nothing to be afraid of losing.

I can always start over, but the people who trusted me...

and did everything with me... I don't think I can face them.

Bring the recorder, right now.

I have no intention of granting your request.

It's not a request, it's a deal.

A deal with Lee Ji Eun as collateral.

Seo Jeong Min!

Don't you know I have no room to step back anyway?

Well, do as you wish.

You can trust me, can't you?

You will trust me, won't you?

I will trust you.

I do need your help now.

♫ In all the looks you ever gave me, ♫

♫ did one of them ever say you loved me? ♫

Do you know why... I desperately wanted to be successful?

I wanted to get them back.

I wanted to be what they call successful...

and definitely get back all that I have lost.

The person I lost...

The times I lost.

I wanted to get all of them back.

Back then, there were so many things I didn't know.

♫ I think I loved you too much ♫

If someone desperately needs one person,

it's a beautiful thing just staying by that person as he wishes.

♫ If we meet again during the time I still love you ♫

♫ The painful tears will flow for all the time I wasn't able to see you ♫

Don't worry. I'll walk in on my own.

Hey, that's enough!

Let's go.

I won't say anything more.

I'll let you go if you return the recorder.

Give me the recorder.

Can't we stop here?

- About here— - Could you do that if it were you?

Must you see the end? Must you?

I must.

I must. I definitely must.

I must, even if the sky falls down.

My father who died a wrongful death... I must so he can close his eyes now.

I must ease his resentment.

Do what you wish.

I can't trade that recorder for my life.

Don't waste your time.

Ji Eun.

Ji Eun.

Can we please end it here? Can't we?

I know there's no way to compensate for your father's wrongful death.

I know very well that I am being absurd, too.

But... I'll find a way to pay you back. I'll pay you back.

I promise.

Promise me what?

How will you pay it back?

The times I lived pounding my chest and puking up blood, how can you pay it back, and with what?

You doing this... you kneeling down begging for forgiveness...

Don't you know it can't be forgiven or can't receive forgiveness?

I'll never forgive your father.

You either.

I was foolish once more.

I thought perhaps you might be merciful to me,

I was nervous for awhile like a fool.

So it's like that.

It's impossible.

What's impossible is impossible.

Take her.

Where is Ji Eun?

Give me the recorder first.

Where is Ji Eun?!

Didn't you hear me say to give me the recorder first?

Seo Jeong Min, did you even love Ji Eun?

Can you say you loved her while doing this?!

If you even loved her for a moment,

you shouldn't do this.

Are you even human? Are you really human?

I gave up being human long ago. Didn't you know that?

Stop that nonsense and tell me where Ji Eun is.

Give me the recorder.

When I have it in my hand, I'll send her home unharmed.

Give me the recorder and take Lee Ji Eun home.

Bring her.

This was the only choice I had.

In order to get the recorder,

I was destined to do whatever it took.

You always wrap yourself nicely every time.

But you are an empty shell without any core.

Try live your life without the bluff.

You didn't. You didn't, did you?

Are you in your right mind?

Why did you give up the recorder?

Who gave you permission? Who?

Let's go.

I'll never forgive you... not even in death.

Why did you give it to him?

I couldn't even trade it for my life. So why did you give it to him? Who gave you permission?

That was the only evidence to ease the resentment for my father's wrongful death. It was the only weapon, so who told you to give it to him?

Ji Eun. Please calm down and listen to me.

That recorder is actually...

Jeong Min. I've made my decision.

I won't run away leaving you behind.

You know it all.

Yet you held my hand while looking me in the eye.

Laughing and chatting. Even tried to marry me.

My filthy heart, that held feelings for you for a while, can't be wiped clean either!

That's why, that's why I can't forgive you.

Your father and you.

Even myself.

Seo Jeong Min.

Do you know what opponent is the scariest?

It's your own self that can't even trust your allies due to your fear.

You always wrap yourself nicely every time.

But you are an empty shell without any core.

For all four assemblymen on corruption charges, the prosecutor's office

- has asked for warrants. - The situation doesn't look good.

The things are moving in an uncanny way.

Chairman, the wavelength won't reach us.

I have another call coming in. Let's talk later.

Charged with taking several hundred million won in bribes are Assemblymen Park Moon Hyeon, Yoo Jeong Soo,

and Lee Seon Yeong, as they are coming into the view.

Of the four assemblymen who received pre-warrants, Assemblyman Shin Dae Bum appeared first in court.

Unlike the other assemblymen, he has been released early by the prosecutor's office.

Hello.

Listen to me carefully now.

So that punk Jang Se Hoon wants to take this all the way.

Then what?

We are at a dead end anyway.

We all need to go together.

Call the prosecutor's office.

Turn Jang Se Hoon over to them right away.

You haven't eaten anything, have you?

Drink this and get some sleep.

We still have something left to do, don't we?

I am still looking for Director Park, so we'll get the news soon.

Are you Jang Se Hoon?

Yes.

You are under arrest for embezzlement and violating the rules on management of foreign funds.

You have the right to remain silent.

Also, you have the right to consult with an attorney.

Hold on.

Please give me a little time.

Ten minutes will do.

Ji Eun. Listen to me carefully now.

Seeing as they are doing this, I am positive that Chairman Seo must be cornered.

You'll see the end soon.

So you must not give up, okay?

Then what about you? What will happen to you?

I'm okay.

Even if I can't get out, Ho Jin will help you.

This isn't it. This isn't it, Se Hoon.

This isn't it. This isn't it.

This isn't it, Se Hoon.

That's enough.

This isn't it.

Ji Eun.

That's enough. That's enough.

This isn't it.

Let's go.

Jang Se Hoon. Do you admit the fact of your embezzlement?

There's no such fact.

Did you not embezzle Seolin's funds to purchase stock in your American company?!

Can you deny it when we have this clear evidence?!

You are charged with embezzlement and violating the rules on management of foreign funds!

Here! These are the records of money going in and out of your account!

I am already caught on the trap, and you won't believe me anyway.

Seolin filed a suit, and it seems they had an internal investigation going on.

And of course, they got the evidence to back their claim.

That's the evidence submitted by Chairman Seo, right?

Probably.

It looks like they are going to issue an arrest warrant early in the morning.

Ji Eun.

Can we please end it here? Can't we?

Leave him... alone.

You came all this way to ask me that?

Move aside.

I'll stop it.

I will stop it.

So... leave him alone.

Now you want to stop it?

I begged so hard.

You didn't even flinch when I got down on my knees and begged.

Now that that punk Jang Se Hoon has been arrested... you say you will stop it.

What a grand love!

Just understand that you yourself are the one who sent Jang Se Hoon away.

That's right. Because I know it so well, I came to beg you.

So please leave him alone.

It's already out of my hands.

I've already decided.

Being a jerk once more... won't matter to me.

What mess have you created?

Because of you, my Will is about to lose everything.

It's all your fault.

If it weren't for you, my Will wouldn't have been hurt.

Lee Ji Eun. Open your eyes wide and watch.

Because of you, he will now be thrown to the ground and flop around miserably.

Mi Ran, please save him.

You can do it, can't you?

No way, you're not going to just watch, are you?

Shameless wench...

He dug his own grave.

If he had just laid low, he could've avoided being locked up.

Anyway, didn't that punk Director Park call after that?

No.

I think the one I had is the original.

Jeong Min.

I am worried that the political movement is uncanny these days.

The arrested assemblymen are already—

I am going up to get some rest.

Good work. Hold on.

Go get some rest.

It's all ready, so go circle Europe once.

♫ I open my eyes to watch you, did you really leave? ♫

♫ In all the looks you ever gave me, did one of them ever say you loved me? ♫

♫ Even if another love comes along, ♫

♫ I don't think it will be so easy ♫

♫ It's so hard to endure, ♫

♫ I'm waiting for a fateful kind of destiny ♫

♫ Through all the unforgettable painful memories ♫

♫ I long for you while I hate you ♫

♫ But I think I loved you too much ♫

♫ I will regret that as much as I long to see you ♫

♫ If we meet again through the same kind of destiny ♫

♫ Those sad tears will remain deep within our hearts ♫

Ji Eun! Ji Eun!

What will happen now?

He'll be released soon, since he didn't commit any crime.

It's all my fault.

I loved one man so easily and discarded him so easily...

I am the source of problems for living my life wrongly at one point.

Who can we blame?

Ah, seriously... Chairman Seo and Seo Jeong Min surely won't be able to live full lives.

Seo Jeong Min!

Please come with us.

Breaking news!

This morning, the central prosecutor's office

charged Minister Kim Shin Gwan with bribery and abuse of his office

and requested an arrest warrant.

The prosecutor's office obtained evidence of bribes reaching to Minister Kim,

they are following Minister Kim's activities.

Meanwhile, the businesses that paid the bribes—

Who are you guys?

Look at this! Look at this!

How dare you come in here?!

Go over there!

What the heck? What are you doing?

Don't do that!

Please look here!

I received an order to appear at the prosecutor's office.

You'll be re-investigated today. You'll be fine since you didn't commit any crime.

Didn't you frame Jang Se Hoon?!

Chairman Seo made all kinds of paths for his son to escape.

He had a stroke from the aneurysm, and he is unconscious.

We got the MRI results, but the area of bleeding on the lower dura mater is bigger than we thought.

What about surgery? Will he be all right with an operation?

In his current status, surgery is impossible.

We can only wait for it to be absorbed on its own, there's no other option.

Let's wait a little bit, hm?

2005 Fund Operation Budget

["Seolin Group" Chairman Seo Moon Soo Sentenced to 15 Years in Prison!]

This case, along with the four former assemblymen who were on the Seolin list,

one minister and three bank directors, the prosecution wrapped up the case by arresting a total of nine people.

Director Park Sang Gyoon of Seolin Group who had escaped abroad,

is being sought by Interpol at our request.

[Seolin Group Disintegrated into the Air]

Seolin President Jang Se Hoon, who was arrested for embezzlement and violating the rules for management of foreign funds, has been cleared of all charges and released.

It's been rough, hasn't it?

Not at all.

Honey!

Are you okay, Honey?

Are you okay? Are you okay?

Water?

Water? Water?

Hold on. Hold on.

Say ah.

Honey.

Honey. I don't need anything. I need nothing.

You just need to get up. I only need you by my side.

I only need you by my side, Honey.

You need to get up quickly.

Honey, I only need you.

Honey. You must wake up. I'm scared.

I know there's no way I can compensate for your father's wrongful death.

I know very well that what I'm doing is absurd, too.

Ji Eun.

Can we please stop this?

Timing and Subtitles by The Phoenix Team @ Viki.com

Yeah.

Get out! How dare you come in here?

Leave her alone.

What?

You know this is your last chance now.

Why did you do it?

Why did you have to do it?

Were you that afraid of my father?

Did you hate my father that much?

Why did it have to be my father? Weren't you guys friends?

You said you guys were classmates, you studied together.

How could you have done that?

How could you have killed my father?

Even if you die like this, I won't forgive you.

I can't forgive you.

Can't you hear me out?

Even a condemned prisoner gets to say his last words and be heard.

I won't ask for forgiveness.

It may sound like an excuse...

No, it's surely a lame excuse.

But I want to tell you this.

Just as you couldn't cover up your father's death,

neither could I could reveal my father's flaws.

The biggest error I made is probably

not letting you go when I should have.

I clung to you while deceiving you to the end for my own selfishness.

Because I love you...

Because I love you, I couldn't help it, telling myself that excuse

and in the end,

I came to hell's end.

Right.

You were probably in pain. You were probably wounded

because you had to carry your father's sin.

Why did you approach me?

If you didn't,

Seo Moon Soo's son, Seo Jeong Min, I may not blame or hate you this much.

Let's just step out of each other's lives.

Let's not run into each other, and let's not think about it anymore.

Let's just live like that.

I live my own life and you live yours.

I shouldn't have loved you.

Because I didn't know... because I didn't know.

My love seems to have come to me as a punishment.

The things I need to tell you... I practiced a lot last night.

But I can't think of any.

I am grateful. I am grateful.

I am sorry and sorry again.

That's how I feel.

I thought I should tell you this, so I came by.

I know how you feel without you telling me.

Why is the door open?

You're here Ji Eun.

Yeah, I came a while ago.

I need to go.

I'll get going.

Get some rest. You look tired.

Okay.

Okay.

What are you going to do?

About what?

Your company can be sorted out bit by bit, but I'm talking about Ji Eun.

I don't know the last time I held your hand.

No matter how much I think about it, I can't remember.

It's no big deal.

I just needed to grab it like this.

Why did we become like this?

What in the world made us like this?

Now that Seolin has crumbled, you're leaving, too.

You loved Seolin like your own life, didn't you?

I loved Lee Ji Eun like my own life.

That's why...

That's why I couldn't be on your side completely.

I am sorry.

I am sorry, Father.

Please forgive me.

Please forgive me, Father.

Rest in peace.

Father,

rest in peace now.

Father.

Father.

Father. Father. Father.

Father! Father! Father!

Father!

Father!

No, Father! Father!

Father! Father! Father!

Father!

Honey. Honey! Honey!

Honey. Honey, don't go. Don't go, Honey.

Honey, don't go. What do I do? What do I do?

No, no! I was wrong. I was wrong, Honey.

Honey, I was wrong.

Don't go. Don't go.

♫ ​In the dark sky, the glittering glow of the stars tells me ♫

♫ That if I do not do it now, I can never do it. ♫

♫ The yellow stars caress me and shout your name ♫

♫ In silence, the hidden memories awaken me ♫

♫ When you have never needed anyone. ♫

♫ And I've just tried to be the man you need. ♫

♫ Now love and hate, I have sent them far away ♫
