(Episode 14)

Let's see if Sokcho can produce the president of Korea.

We'll make it a game.

You...

By the looks of it, I can guess what's going on.

Stop Chae Yi Hun.

Then I'll make sure that the US sides with you.

You are a man reaching for what you desire.

Anyone can easily tell which deal will benefit you the most.

Okay?

Bahama is more than capable of doing something like that.

(Eugene Han, Head of Bahama Korea)

But the US is very strict when it comes to law and procedure.

Whatever you try to do,

it will take time.

You were probably going to stir things up...

with the help of a few hedge funds, bring in some China money,

and make big money by doing so.

But the truth is, you lost.

So what?

You're in no place to make a proposal.

Let me make a one instead.

I know C and D tried to help you...

by messing with Korea's credit rating.

They're probably going to try and settle things...

by returning our credit rating back to normal.

Tell them to publicly apologize...

to the entire world.

You're talking about a credit rating agency.

It's the same as telling them to die.

No, I'm telling them to take responsibility.

Otherwise, I won't be able to stop the runaway train...

that is Chae Yi Hun.

Isn't that what you're afraid of?

You don't want the world to know who was behind the Jungin Bank scandal.

You won't be free...

from the accusations.

I'm afraid it had nothing to do with me.

Besides,

you're in Korea.

I guess you have about two weeks.

Chae Yi Hun...

wants...

to crush you.

You're unbelievable.

- Here you go. - My goodness!

Thank you.

When you go to Hongnyeonam this week,

please pray for this as well.

Sure. You can ask me anything.

So that they don't call us a currency manipulator,

please pray for the Korea-US alliance...

- to be as sturdy as iron. - Sure thing.

Please enjoy then.

Will do.

Gosh, it's been so long.

Thanks to you, I'm getting the chance to enjoy this again.

Hello, sir.

What brings you by this late?

Eugene Han came to see me.

Is he in Korea?

Remember what I said about Chancellor Ludwig Erhard,

the architect behind Germany's economic recovery?

Why is Eugene Han in Korea?

I'm trying to force him to squeeze an apology out of C and D.

So you want to play the hero.

He laid down his condition.

I'm to stop you in return.

So about Jo Hee Bong...

- Sir. - The chief prosecutor in Daejeon...

agreed on two weeks.

Is that enough time...

to persuade Jo Hee Bong?

It's not.

Then it's my turn to choose.

Just know that the pool of choices...

includes the options one can abandon.

Got it?

I mean, can you believe it?

I thought we were at war or something.

Tell me about it.

It's like DPM Heo is invincible.

I thought the man was surely a goner.

It's not just Mr. Heo but Mr. Chae as well.

The man has the guts to be DPM himself one day.

Don't I know it.

- Hello. - Hi.

You're in early.

Hey, you're here.

Isn't it nice to sit in front of me?

Yes, I couldn't be more thrilled.

We need to talk.

- We can talk here... - Follow me.

Is he threatening me to resign or what?

The investigation into you will be delayed.

(Jo Hee Bong, Chief, MOEF International Finance Bureau)

I didn't know you were that influential.

Let me lay it out for you.

Director Seo Yang Woo of Jungin Bank...

participated in the manipulation of the bank's BIS capital ratio.

The objective was to receive an investment from Bahama.

The problem occurred when it was revealed to the public.

Then you gave Director Seo...

a document.

A detailed document...

carefully forged by Eugene Han of Bahama.

Director Seo felt cornered already,

so he fixed the document...

which was then taken to the president.

By then,

you were in league with Eugene Han.

The proof of that is your 10 million dollar building...

in Banpo.

I don't understand a word you're saying.

Not long after, Director Seo...

realizes Eugene Han's scheme.

Guilt eats him up as he figures out what he has cost this nation.

The fear, the pressure,

and the betrayal of the friend he trusted.

They all led to him...

losing his life.

Yang Woo committed suicide.

That is the truth and no one can say otherwise.

Admit to what you have done...

and fix what you can.

That's how you can seek forgiveness.

How far are you willing to go?

How far do you think you'll get?

(Lee Hye Joon, Level-5, MOEF International Finance Bureau)

I have something to tell you.

Later, Hye Joon.

I'll be blunt with you.

You won't be able to stop the prosecution's investigation.

Your connection to Bahama will be revealed.

Director Chae bought you time...

so that you could fix this yourself.

Ms. Lee, you and I...

are the same kind of people.

Director Chae isn't! Look who his father was.

I'll help in any way...

when the prosecution starts questioning you.

Why is that?

Did you decide to openly take Director Chae's side now?

Did he promise to help advance your career?

I'm the one...

who told Mr. Chae after figuring out...

your connection to Bahama.

- What? - DPM Heo already knows.

How...

did you find out?

You're out of options now.

Where are you off to? Aren't you heading home?

Director Chae summoned a meeting.

What?

The MOFA Southeast Asia Team is here.

- Why? - To discuss...

the currency swap with China.

What on earth is up with you and Director Chae though?

It's nothing.

Get back in then.

I'll get going.

But sir!

Darn.

Welcome.

I haven't run into anyone I know at this place,

- so relax. - You can't show up like this!

Just leave for Puerto Rico or the Bahamas or something.

What?

DPM Heo has me and Chae Yi Hun in the palm of his hands.

I don't intend to dance to his beat,

but Chae Yi Hun has begun to dance for him already.

It must be tough for you.

- I want a latte. - Okay.

Me too.

Listen. I won't die like some other people.

Good thinking.

I was nervous now and then.

I'm going to Wall Street.

Did you get a call?

Anyway,

congratulations.

This way.

You know about my Swiss account, right?

Deposit 10 million dollars into that account.

- Why? - You need something...

to keep you free from the DPM's control, right?

Do you have something?

Tell me once you have the money.

This isn't how you make a deal.

I don't know what you're offering.

Director Chae's father. Professor Chae Byung Hak.

Hello, Professor.

Do I know you?

I'm Jo Hee Bong. Class of 97.

I took your class, "Theory of Macroeconomics."

I remember...

- History? - Yes. I majored in Western History.

I can't believe you remember me.

Your class was so hard.

I remember there was a unique fellow.

Here. Join me for some tea.

Thank you.

Here.

Thank you for remembering me.

Please speak comfortably.

So? What do you do now?

I work for the Ministry of Economy and Finance.

I'm a chief in the International Finance Bureau.

What I learned from you was of great help.

You took my class to take the civil service exam, I see.

- I did. - You've succeeded.

But...

I haven't used up my summer vacation days.

I can't believe I'm sitting here having tea with you.

I guess I really did succeed.

Success.

So? Are you happy?

I still have a long way to go, so...

How high must you go for you to say you've succeeded?

Way over there.

Nowadays, I wonder...

if I've taught my students a bunch of useless garbage.

I should've watched the leaves falling off the trees like this,

listened to the wind as it weaves through the woods,

felt the warmth of the sunlight on my skin...

thought about how warm tea like this...

is made...

Sure.

Excuse me. I need to take this.

It's from work, so it may be a while.

- Do you want to go ahead? - Don't mind me.

Take your time.

- Excuse me. - Okay.

Hello?

Bureaucrats like you will end up ruining this country.

That is why I stand against you.

Just stay put this time.

How can I?

How can I, when I know you'll ruin our economy?

I won't stand here and let you go down the same path.

Just stay put and shut it!

You're ruining everything!

I heard he fell off a cliff and died.

I need to know something.

What is your relationship with Lee Hye Joon?

Hold on. Me first.

Why is the DPM here?

Once you tell me when you'll accept my offer.

I'll consider it.

There isn't much time.

And Lee Hye Joon...

Director Chae knows about us. Lee Hye Joon told him.

No way. I never told her.

You were willing to risk your life for her.

- I never told her. - Useless excitement.

Irrational carelessness.

That's what happens when you like someone.

Think about it. Were you careless and slipped when you were with her?

Definitely not!

What did China say?

How much do they know about the US's intentions?

Korea must also feel pressured due to the appreciation of won.

What you told me before.

That Korea felt pressured about the appreciation of the won.

But the Korean government...

didn't take any special action.

The DPM instructed me to prepare evidence...

to make sure this doesn't result...

in the appreciation of the won.

But I don't know what to do.

The deputy prime minister...

told this critical information only to you?

That's correct.

Darn it!

That tip came from Lee Hye Joon.

Darn it. Seriously.

It wasn't something the DPM would assign to a level-five.

I thought it was suspicious, but...

So, Lee Hye Joon set a trap for us.

Darn it.

Unfortunately, we fell right into it.

Last year, China and Japan held...

a strategy meeting among vice ministers.

It had been seven years.

We know that too.

They are second and third largest economic powers in the world.

But as you know, our relationship with Japan is strained...

due to diplomatic issues,

and we're about to extend the currency swap with China.

Given the situation,

what position will China and Japan take?

We must pay attention to the position they take...

regarding global trades.

The Trump administration is maintaining their unilateralism.

We appreciate the difficulty the MOEF is facing,

but it's difficult for us at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs...

to maintain our stance between China and the US.

We predict the US economy...

will improve slightly this year.

The government's foreign exchange policy has been effective.

The exchange rate for a dollar dropped to below 1,350 won.

- He's impressive. - After the credit rating agency,

- He'll bring it down to 1,200 won. - reinstated our credit rating...

to its previous rating...

Goodness. Speak of the devil.

I wasn't expecting you.

- Were you talking about me? - No, sir.

- Bring in some tea. - Yes, sir.

Are you going to a ceremony or something?

I have a special talk at a TV station later.

You've become a celebrity...

after flipping the tables...

during the foreign exchange attack.

But you never know when the people in the White House will be replaced.

That's true.

Daeryuk Group is planning to build...

a semiconductor factory in the US, aren't they?

Yes. It's publicized to cost 60 billion dollars.

But based on my intel, I think they're looking at 100 billion.

Trump will request that it be built in the Rust Belt...

since that will help him in the upcoming elections.

They're all about tradition there.

He lost a lot of votes there...

because of the trade war with China.

You should use the currency manipulation matter in your favor.

Did you say the chairman is visiting the White House next month?

Yes. Why...

Daeryuk really likes you.

They say you're a shoo-in to be the next finance minister.

There's no one useful in Korea anymore.

All the presidential candidates are pretty much the same.

Why don't I set up...

a dinner or something with him?

Sure.

That won't be so bad.

Will do.

The people of this country have high expectations for you.

First of all, I'd like to ask you about the economical reformation.

What are your plans?

During the IMF crisis in 1997,

many people in our country donated gold from their homes.

It shows that they were already determined...

to face a cold winter.

Regardless of that, they still wanted an economical reformation.

But we failed to do that...

due many political interests and calculations.

And that led us to this current moment.

I know this may sound out of line, but you speak as if...

you're a presidential candidate.

- That's absurd. - Like I asked earlier,

I want to know how you plan to carry out an economical reformation.

You're well known for your desire to reform the conglomerates.

I don't plan to reform the people of our country.

I plan to reform our system.

Really? It somehow feels as if you've taken a step back...

from your original plan.

Is that correct?

No, that's not true.

(Ministry of Economy and Finance)

Let's go.

Let's eat.

You came a long way.

I only had bread and milk earlier.

Do you know a nice place?

There's a place that sells really good hangover soup.

It's the best place in the neighborhood.

Mr. Park, did you make a reservation?

Yes, of course. I even asked for a room with heated floors.

This way?

Are you here to meet Chief Jo?

You're unbelievably confident, Director Chae.

It seems like you think you have full control...

over Jo Hee Bong.

Why are you here?

- What? - This place...

is no longer safe for you.

There's no place that's safe for me.

Your parents are both Korean, right?

Yes, biologically.

But my DNAs in my body...

are that of an American.

Why do you ask?

I'm not asking you this...

because I expect something from you as a Korean.

But why Korea...

of all places?

It's where I can make money.

What does money even mean to you?

Something that shows my achievements in numbers.

Money...

isn't just numbers.

It includes people's labor...

and hard work.

But you just ignore that and focus only on numbers.

That's why you destroy so many things.

And in the end,

you'll even destroy yourself.

Money isn't metaphysical.

It's rather very simple.

It's a form of desire that humans easily respond to.

Don't use your filthy desire...

to make a mess of our country.

We won't let you do that.

"We"?

Me, Hae Jun,

and my team.

Is the deputy prime minister also included in that group?

Is he included or not?

Just stay put and shut it!

You're ruining...

everything!

Stop ruining everything!

Just don't!

I accept all your conditions.

I already sent half the amount to your Swiss bank account.

Send me the video right now.

I'll send you the remaining half as soon as I receive it.

Okay.

(Your mail has been successfully sent.)

During the IMF crisis in 1997...

During the IMF crisis,

I also donated my gold ring.

It shows that they were already determined...

to face a cold winter.

Regardless of that...

("Full House")

I'm sorry.

I didn't know you were so sick.

Because you never called.

You've lost so much weight.

I'm not the guy you saw in New York back when you were doing your PhD.

You used to drink like a whale.

That's why I'm here.

You should also be careful.

Thank you.

The USB.

I'm sure it was a difficult decision.

- What? - Am I almost...

about to die?

Did you just thank me?

Yes.

"Thank you."

You never knew...

how to thank anyone.

How about one more?

I'm scared.

You've aged...

seeing that you're scared of the world.

What are you scared of?

I'm scared that I might not be able to achieve what I want.

Sometimes, because of that,

I even compromise with my principles.

It's tormenting.

Are you talking about Daeryuk Group?

Let go of your passion. That's what's making you suffer.

If you also add initiative to that passion of yours,

you'll start to ignore what's around you.

In the end, you'll be left with restlessness, obstinacy,

and self-righteousness.

How are you so good...

at making me feel so guilty? You were always good at that.

How is Yi Hun?

There are times...

when I wish he'd take the initiative of the things I plan.

He's a scary guy.

I guess you're starting to want him on your side.

He's Byung Hak's son.

He's different from Byung Hak.

And more importantly, I've finally figured out...

how I'm going...

to use him.

Would you like to say a word to the public?

The people of our country are wise.

If you trust the government one more time,

we promise that we won't let you down this time.

- I feel like he'll keep his word. - Thank you for joining us today.

That is the end of our discussion with the deputy prime minister.

Would you like to lie down?

My goodness, Ms. Lee.

You need to stop treating me like I'm severely ill.

How do you feel?

I know I should've visited earlier.

Yes, you should've. You took on a big project.

You should've come and talked about it with me.

Today, you're even more...

like a ray of sunshine in early summer.

Sir, please.

I'm just saying she looks nice.

He's going to get surgery the day after tomorrow in the morning.

These punks are unbelievable.

I'm an old man,

but they made me take so many tests.

They're trying so hard to rip me off.

Judging by your voice, it seems like you'll be fine after the surgery.

There are so many sick people.

There's really not much to life.

(Imbecile)

Shouldn't you answer that? It's Uncle Soo Ho.

He's been calling me nonstop today.

Right.

You're divorced now so...

You said you're still angry...

whenever he calls you.

I wonder why I lived this way.

I ate whatever was left over...

and wore the clothes that others threw out.

The makeup I put on were those that were expired.

I wasn't able to take a break...

and I couldn't show that I was exhausted.

Still, I'm happy...

to have two daughters.

Auntie, it'll be all right.

For decades, they've been thinking about a way...

to crush this nation's capital market.

It's why we tried to implement the Tobin tax.

Revealing who's behind the BIS manipulation scandal...

and bringing them to justice...

seems like the most effective way.

And how do you expect to do that?

There's someone who holds the key.

I will have him blow the whistle.

As if that's easy.

Whoever it is could face indictment.

I will make sure he does if it's the last thing I do.

I see we have another man who has become a slave to passion.

Everything you do...

could help Heo Jae rise to the top.

To be honest,

it is what worries me.

He has too big of an ego...

for me to respect and follow.

It's evident in the way he treats his subordinates.

Yes?

- He should take his pills now. - Oh, right.

Sure.

- Director Seo Yang Woo. - Yes?

Are you still in contact with his wife?

I am.

There's only one person...

who can persuade Chief Jo.

- Sorry, I'm late. - It's all right.

Please have a seat.

I told you about this before, but before Director Seo died,

he mentioned someone...

in the International Finance Bureau.

I asked you here...

because I have a clue to as who he was referring to.

Really?

First of all, there's no one with the surname Yoo on my team.

None of the employees have Yoo in their names either.

So I'm guessing Mr. Seo...

was trying to name the person within the IFB...

who's connected to Eugene Han.

Is it...

Jo Hee Bong?

Why do you think it's him?

I met him recently.

You don't know how surprised I was...

to receive your call.

How are the kids?

They're doing well and studying hard.

That's nice to hear.

- Hee Bong. - Yes?

I sold the house.

I'd like to pay back the money you lent us...

when we bought the house in Singapore.

- The rest... - No, wait.

I couldn't take that money.

But I'm aware of your financial state.

I'm grateful for everything you've done for my family.

My husband would want me to pay you back.

I can't take that money.

Actually, I won't.

But Hee Bong...

Yang Woo... Well, Yang Woo passed away...

and I want to do something for your family.

Consider it as the price of his life and...

Accept it as his share.

Sorry?

I haven't been able to shake off this odd feeling since then.

Could the money have been from...

That is a possibility.

There's also circumstantial evidence...

pointing to a bribe being received.

I'm terribly sorry to ask you this,

but could we...

ask Chief Jo about that house in Singapore?

No.

Please don't.

No.

Your head is filled...

with worthless ideas that are no better than trash.

And you won't even let any other ideas through.

Bureaucrats like you will end up ruining this country.

That is why I stand against you.

You're ruining everything!

Bureaucrats like you will end up ruining this country.

That is why I stand against you.

You're...

ruining everything!

Gosh, is that you?

After Jungin Bank...

was sold to Bahama...

and people talked about the manipulated BIS capital ratio,

I couldn't hold my chin up.

I felt like the world was pointing fingers at Yang Woo.

- Gosh... - Were you two involved...

in something I wasn't aware of?

What secretive business would we have been involved in?

This one day,

you came by the house with a document in your hand.

Until way after midnight,

you and Yang Woo argued in his study.

It wasn't anything important.

Hee Bong, Yang Woo received...

a phone call from Heo Jae who was the chairman of FSC at the time.

Wasn't the pasta saltier than usual today?

I thought it was fine.

You should try the tomato pasta next time.

(Chairman Heo)

- Hello? - Director Seo,

it's about the document you sent to the president.

Who did you receive the original file from?

From Eugene Han, sir.

I already checked with him.

He never sent you anything directly.

He didn't go through Na Joon Pyo or Kook Kyung Min...

which means someone else is in league with him. Who is it?

I'm sorry, but I can't tell you.

Shouldn't you be politer to a superior?

Please don't ask. I won't be able to tell you either.

For some reason,

I figured that you were involved...

somehow.

There must be a misunderstanding...

because I'm clueless right now.

Whoever's in league with Eugene Han will be revealed too.

It doesn't matter if you try to shield or hide him.

I will dig him out.

I never told anyone about this...

to protect my husband.

He's talking about you, isn't he?

On the Internet,

my husband is painted as someone who took a bribe and sold his country.

They say it's why he committed suicide.

That's what most people are saying.

All he did was protect you though.

Hee Bong...

I want to know the truth.

Aren't you coming?

I don't think I can go inside.

I don't know how I'm going to face him.

- Let's go, Ms. Lee. - Okay.

- His building is next to this one. - Okay.

Yang Woo, it's me.

Don't you do it.

Talk to me first before you meet with them.

- I'm downstairs. - No.

- I've made up my mind. - Hey.

Are you trying to kill me?

We never should've done that.

I know.

I do, but it's too late now!

Hee Bong. Let's undo it now...

- and pay for what we did. - No!

I can't...

make my dad see me in handcuffs.

- I'd rather die first! - Hee Bong.

Yang Woo. You remember my dad, don't you?

My dad was the school guard.

Your dad was the principal.

I used to be so ashamed,

that I hid all the time.

Whenever your dad came to work,

my dad ran up to him every day...

and bowed to him humbly with his hands gathered.

But when we both got into Seoul University,

we both had banners at the school side by side.

My dad...

held my hand and cried.

He said I relieved his grudge.

He was so happy.

But darn it. Even in college...

and here in the MOEF...

Darn it.

Why are there so many smart jerks out there?

I can't keep up.

I can't catch my breath. That's...

That's why I did it.

So what? Did you want to be compensated monetarily?

Is that why you chose Eugene Han?

What's wrong with that?

Hey. The one thing that no one in the world can look down on...

is money.

I wanted to make as much of that money as I can...

and spit at this disgusting world!

You jerk! Do you call that an excuse?

Do you...

really want to see me die?

Just die, jerk.

You die.

I won't die,

- so you die. - Hee Bong.

You think if you call over Lee Hye Joon...

and tell her everything,

you'll be a noble human being, don't you?

You're wrong.

Your hands are dirty already.

What do you mean?

Remember that apartment you bought in Singapore...

so you could go there for a while after the board meeting?

- You borrowed money from me. - That's right.

You said you'd pay me back,

and I said not to worry about it. Remember that?

That...

was from Eugene Han.

The paper trail is there. It didn't come from me.

You jerk!

So,

if you want to save yourself,

keep your mouth shut.

What are you saying?

Do whatever you want, you jerk.

Chief.

Chief Jo.

I was so worried because we couldn't reach you.

I've been waiting since you called.

Ms. Lee.

We'll hold a press conference.

I'll prepare everything...

to present to the media,

so please assist Chief Jo.

I gave him the list of people who can help him...

with the legal matter.

Yes, sir. I'll do all that I can...

No, I'll do my best even if it's something that I can't.

Thanks.

Yes, Assemblyman Bae. Please follow the rules.

The investigation of Chief Jo should proceed by the rules.

No. His safety comes first.

I understand. Thank you.

They can even control the Prosecutors' Office?

- Is that even possible? - You know there are a few things...

impossible for people,

but when it comes to money, nothing is impossible.

Okay? So, shall we talk business?

We have to stop purchasing real estate in Korea...

and stop the preparations to sue ICSID.

The lawyers were requesting a compensation of 500,000,

and for C and D, it was a million.

So, 1,500,000.

And the company wants you to take full responsibility for it.

So, the CEO doesn't like Koreans?

He doesn't like you.

Okay, fine.

I'm glad we worked that out so easily.

Eugene.

Can't we just go back to the States?

No.

You do know that you're at the edge of the cliff here, right?

Once the investigation starts,

we don't know what Hee Bong is going to say.

If the investigation should start,

I just have to limit the scope of it.

So everything is going to be fine.

Why would you risk everything playing this game?

Because someone else who's playing it never loses.

There's no such thing as never losing...

when you're playing this game.

When he loses... I mean, if he should lose,

I have to be here to see it with my own eyes.

So I won't be returning to the States for now.

Hello, sir.

Please.

I'll keep it brief.

I hope the US doesn't get the wrong impression of Korea...

as a country that manipulates the foreign exchange...

because we sold dollars to buy up won recently.

I'll keep it brief as well.

The Finance-Business Separation Law...

is blocking our entry into the finance industry,

but I plan to break through.

Start with a bank specializing in Internet banking.

An impenetrable dam doesn't crumble easily.

Do you mean the sentiment of the people?

The water that will cause the dam to crumble...

must be found in a small hole.

You and I really get each other in so many ways.

It's so easy.

Your visit to the White House...

will be a great contribution to the nation.

And I will make many more contributions going forward.

Okay. Why don't you continue over dinner?

It's ready.

- Let's go. - Let's go.

Don't complain about the anti-solicitation law today.

He respects him a lot, so let him treat him to a meal.

I guess we could let it slide today.

What are you doing?

Shut up! Shut up!

- What are you doing? - I wanted to see how it feels...

to stop you.

- Are you giving up? - The rules of the game...

were never fair to begin with me.

The same goes for Yi Hun.

- Get out of the way. - You don't want to provoke me.

- You know what I can do! - Do whatever you want.

"Do whatever you want"?

You won't gain anything by staying here.

Go back to your country.

- Let's go. - And which country is that?

Which country is my country?

Which one is it?

Tell me which one! Darn it!

Aunt.

I'm so sorry for making you suffer so much.

Just like today, don't pick up no matter how much I call.

Man Ok, I wish you happiness.

I love you.

- What's this? - Ma Ri...

was worried that her dad might do something bad.

She just called earlier.

They're on their way here.

- Ma Ri and Uncle? - Yes.

Gosh, why does Uncle Soo Ho have to put you through so much?

- Hae Jun. - Yes?

I'm so sorry.

But can you please give us some space?

I feel like...

it should just be our family.

Okay, sure.

(Heyi Soju)

I feel like it should just be our family.

You didn't visit me at the hospital because you were worried.

You came with a purpose, didn't you?

Jo Hee Bong.

I risked my life for you.

But you came to spy on me.

No.

- No? - No.

That's not true.

I was worried.

I really mean it.

I was trying to find a way to console myself.

- Did you find it? - No.

I honestly don't know what the problem is.

I also need someone to console me.

What do you think my nationality is?

American?

Korean?

Does that question have anything to do...

with your attempt to find your mother in me?

This is crazy.

My mom sang this beautifully.

She was the best.

Her dream was to become a vocalist.

And when she married an American,

her dream was to succeed and come back rich.

But in reality, her husband was an alcoholic who also gambled.

And she has to work 16 hours a day.

I wanted to free her.

I wanted to give her everything she wanted...

so that everyone would be jealous once she returned to Korea.

And in order to do that,

I realized that I needed money. And I knew I needed a lot.

Are you a little kid? Don't use your mother as an excuse.

Your mother has dementia.

And she doesn't even know if she's in Korea...

or the States.

What's your point?

You can no longer do anything for your mother with money.

But...

you still did something...

that could kill 20,000 kids in Africa.

In the end, it was all because of your greed.

You just wanted more money for yourself.

It was hard to realize it at first.

But I'm sure you slowly feel it too.

The place you're trying so hard to destroy and occupy...

is the land where your mother was born.

That's why it's so tormenting.

So what?

I'm sure your mother...

would've apologized.

What?

"I'm sorry we were poor."

"I'm sorry..."

"that caused you to have darkness."

"And I'm sorry..."

"that darkness ended up taking over your life."

- Hae Jun. - So stop doing things...

to make your mother feel sorry.

You love your mother more than anyone.

I suggested you stay here since Eugene Han could hurt you.

I'm sorry.

The D-day's in two days, so hang in until then.

My son...

was accepted into Cornell.

At his high school graduation,

he said he couldn't be prouder of me.

I was ashamed.

You must be proud of him.

It's the prosecutor on my case. He has a warrant for my arrest.

They'll be here at 9am.

Even though you said...

you'd turn yourself in the day after tomorrow?

I'm not sure.

Why the sudden change of heart?

Don't they trust me?

We'll move up the D-day to tomorrow before they arrest you.

Sure.

Be at the convention room by 7:30am tomorrow.

That's right. No, just be there.

Hello? I'm sorry to call you so late.

The press conference will begin shortly.

It's the prosecution!

We'll fend them off as long as we can. Go ahead.

Let's go.

Guys, get in line.

Link your arms.

- No one will get through. - Got it.

(Ministry of Economy and Finance)

Hello.

I'm Chief Jo Hee Bong...

of the MOEF International Finance Bureau.

We have a warrant. Step aside.

Chief Jo isn't refusing to cooperate.

Step aside. You know you shouldn't do this.

It won't take long. Just give him 30 minutes.

We're here to execute our official duty.

- I stand here before you... - Stop them.

to say that the BIS capital ratio...

of Jungin Bank was manipulated.

Please obey the law. Push!

Don't you dare.

Stop!

There was a problem in Jungin Bank's sale...

to Bahama.

- Give him a few more minutes. - For Jungin Bank to be sold,

its insolvency needed to meet the criteria...

- stated in... - Mr. Heo?

the Enforcement Decree of the Banking Law.

DPM Heo,

we are here to carry out our official duty.

- In that process... - You're making a mistake.

The BIS capital ratio...

was manipulated.

Chief Jo isn't refusing arrest in any way.

All he's asking for is some time.

The numbers couldn't have been forged by one person.

Were there other people involved in this scheme?

Eugene Han of Bahama gave the orders...

which were carried out by me...

and Director Seo Yang Woo of Jungin Bank.

Did you report this to a government official?

I will answer everything in detail during...

the prosecution's investigation.

I will receive any punishment that comes my way...

and take responsibility for what I have done.

You can leave the rest...

to us now.

Thank you, Chief Jo.

This way.

(Ministry of Economy and Finance)

Thank you.

Of course.

(Message from Eugene Han)

(Money Game)

You look very insecure.

I'm letting you take revenge on behalf of your father.

He told me to offer you a salary of one million dollars.

- Was there a connection? - No.

Then can you get rid of the deputy prime minister?

Why bother?

We just need to keep him on a leash.

Do you really think you'll get what you want?

At least I'll be given a chance.

Is it because you trust Director Chae?

I trust him 100 percent.

I want you to put Heo Jae in jail.

Do you really think I'll give you what you want?
