(Episode 28)
Thank you.
President Ko, the shooting is about to start. Let's get ready.
All right.
Kyung Min, I'll be right back.
Play here with your dad's friend.
- Shall we go? - Sure.
Kyung Min,
I'll go to the restroom quickly.
Stay here, okay?
Kyung Min.
Kyung Min?
Kyung Min, where are you?
It's not easy to succeed in Korea,
but the life story of those who succeed overseas...
seem to be from the other world.
You're one of the big players in the distribution in China.
To have achieved that, you must've gone through...
Sir!
What is it?
Your son has disappeared.
What did you say?
Where could he have gone?
Who disappeared?
Why would Kyung Min disappear?
Weren't you with him?
I went to the restroom for a moment, and...
President Ko, don't worry too much.
He couldn't have gone far.
We'll all look for him.
He's a six-year-old boy,
and he's wearing a checkered shirt.
Please look for him, everyone.
- Let's go. - Find him.
- Go and find him. - Let's go!
Kyung Min!
Ko Kyung Min!
Kyung Min!
Have you seen a boy that's about six years old?
No, I haven't.
Did you find him?
No.
Kyung Min...
Kyung Min!
What do you think you're doing?
- Come here. - No! Don't!
Kyung Min.
Are you okay?
It's all right.
I'm right here.
It'll be okay.
President Ko. Please calm down and have water.
I told you to keep an eye on him!
Why did you leave him alone?
I apologize.
We called the police, so don't worry too much.
Your son is going to be fine.
I have to find him.
I have to find my son.
Why aren't the police coming here?
Kyung Min!
Are you all right?
I was worried sick.
Where have you been?
Yu Ra!
What happened?
In the back of the building,
someone was trying to get him in a car.
What did you say?
Who?
I'm not sure who it was.
I think...
he's trafficking children or something.
Did you get the plate number?
No.
All I had in mind was finding Kyung Min.
I had no time to check the plate.
Are you okay?
Yes, I'm okay.
What's wrong?
Aren't you badly hurt?
No, it's fine.
I guess my muscles became tight.
How could I ever repay you?
No, that's not necessary.
If it weren't for you, it could have been huge trouble.
If you need my help with anything,
don't hesitate to call me.
I want to repay you for this.
I'm not dating anyone,
but I have someone I like.
But...
I'm looking for her as I can't find her.
I miss her so much.
Where in the world is she?
Yu Ra,
I don't think getting into DL Group will be as easy as you think.
Prosecutor Yu.
Here's the organization chart of the gang in Chuncheon you asked for.
Right. Thank you.
(Chuncheon Gang Organization)
(Kang Du Young, Min Seung Yong, and Kim Min Jun)
(Lee Choong Gyo)
I found you.
What are you doing? No.
- Move. - No.
How dare you?
What is this?
Where's Lee Choong Gyo?
What?
I already know he's one of your members.
Where is Lee Choong Gyo?
Who are you?
Don't you remember me?
Five years ago at the lake in Chuncheon.
Chuncheon?
Why are you so surprised?
You're seeing someone who thought was dead.
Are you glad?
This can't be.
I heard you're waiting for parole as a model prisoner.
But what should we do?
Abduction, confinement, special violence, and attempted murder.
Those are the crimes you committed five years ago,
and the living witness appeared.
I don't know you.
I don't even know what you're talking about.
You would try to get out of this?
I really don't know about it!
I don't know this man. He's a stranger.
I want to end this visit.
End the visit!
Open the door.
You can solve this by avoiding it.
Choong Gyo,
sit down.
Let's go to the broadcasting station to meet President Ko.
President Ko's son was almost kidnapped.
So the rest of his appointments were canceled.
Such a thing happened?
Yes, sir.
Then...
it'd be difficult to see him today.
The writer called the police. Will that be a problem?
The child was found.
And I already took care of all the evidence.
They won't be able to track it down.
You do not need to worry.
Well done today.
No! Don't!
Your father will be in there.
Get inside first, okay?
If it weren't for you,
it could have been huge trouble.
If you need my help with anything,
don't hesitate to call me.
I want to repay you for this.
(IH International President Ko In Ho)
Hello?
This is Cha Seo Jun of DL Group.
Why do you keep bothering me?
I'm sure I made myself clear that day.
- I'll hang up. - Just a second.
President Ko!
The meeting with President Song is scheduled for dinner as you said.
Thank you.
But why are you meeting with President Song?
President Song is the one...
with the second largest distribution network in China.
Since it's unclear the contract with President Ko will go through,
I'm coming up with the second-best plan.
Yes, sir. I'll get the car ready at the time you need to depart.
Thank you.
Come in.
Seo Jun.
Ms. Han Yu Ra,
what brings you here?
Well,
I'm thinking of doing you another favor.
You're frustrated about President Ko, aren't you?
How did you find out this time?
Would you like me to help?
No.
It's okay.
This is about my company, so I'll handle it.
And Ms. Han,
I have a favor to ask you.
A favor?
This is my workplace.
I can't have you barge in like this. From now on,
I'd rather not have you here.
Please leave.
Cha Seo Jun,
do you have any idea what kind of opportunity you're dumping?
Even...
with your conceited attitude,
you'll come looking for me again.
I called because I heard you're looking for a new employee.
I see. You've already hired one.
All right.
I'm calling about the job post.
Did you find an employee yet?
Yes, I can go for an interview right now.
Okay. I'll come right away.
Sook Ja, how much do you earn from every sheet?
It's 1 cent per 1 sheet.
Really?
This coffee was four dollars.
You can drink 1 cup of coffee with 4,000 sheets.
Look.
To pay off five million dollars,
you need to fold five million sheets.
Your fingerprints will wear out.
If you're going to babble there,
fold some of these.
What are you going to do with your hands?
You know I can't do this since I was a well-cared-for child.
Then stop bothering me and go away.
Are you going somewhere?
I have a job interview.
- Have a good time here. - Okay.
What was that?
Why did you sigh at my daughter?
Is Yu Jung seeing someone?
I don't know.
She will when the time comes.
Then why don't I set her up with someone?
Well,
do you know someone right for her?
I know someone,
but he's a little old.
But he owns a building.
He's quite rich.
What do you think? Should I set her up with him?
I'd be thankful for that.
By the way,
why is he still not married yet?
He was.
Getting a divorce is not a flaw...
these days.
It wasn't once.
Then...
twice?
No.
Three times?
Yes.
Get out! Get out of here, woman.
Well,
it's because it seemed to be bothering you.
Besides, getting a divorce is not a flaw.
He doesn't have kids, but Yu Jung does.
Even if I'm desperate,
I'm not as crazy as to sell my daughter.
You can't say whatever you want.
Calm down and think about it.
Isn't it hard for a girl to raise a kid alone?
It's better to do it with a man. Your pride won't feed you.
Are you out of your mind?
Don't say anything you want.
What did I say wrong?
You won't listen.
- Oh, my! - Get out!
No!
Oh, dear! How dare you?
Don't come back.
- Hello. - Hello. Welcome.
You're the one who helped me at the market, right?
What brings you here?
I came for a job interview.
Is that so?
By the way, are you the owner of this place?
- Yes. - I see.
I guess it must be fate.
I wanted to see you anyway.
Hello, you're in charge of the Star Club case, right?
I'd like to meet...
with one of the accused, Lee Choong Gyo.
Can you help me?
Okay. Thank you.
Bye.
Min Hyuk, come and eat.
Were you working?
No. I'm done. Let's eat.
Let's eat before it gets cold.
My goodness! The cheonggukjang smells amazing.
By the way, Su Hee,
did you get a clerk for the store?
Yes, I got one today.
But it's interesting how fate works.
Do you remember the girl I told you about...
who caught the pickpocket for me?
- Right? - Yes.
It turns out...
she came to me for an interview today.
Oh, dear. Really?
Yes. I thought it was fate,
so I hired her right away.
That's great.
It's not easy to get a good-natured clerk these days.
Right.
We couldn't even repay her. I'll say hello to her at the store.
Sure.
Look at this, Mom.
My son is even good at origami.
Calm down and think about it.
Isn't it hard for a girl to raise a kid alone?
It's better to do it with a man. Your pride won't feed you.
No way.
What am I thinking?
No. It won't happen.
Well,
what won't happen?
Nothing.
If you're done with the calculation, starting folding some.
I'm not done yet.
Well, he's quite sly.
Our house is a fiery pit of side jobs.
Envelopes came along after the garlic.
How many envelopes should we fold to pay off five million dollars?
It's not 5 million dollars. It's 4.8 million dollars.
I paid 20,000 dollars back to Jung Baek's mother.
It's the same.
Hey, 20,000 envelopes are a big difference.
Dong Ho,
your grandmother needs to make money.
Stop playing with it.
Uncle said I can.
Why are you lashing out on the kid?
Dong Ho,
stop folding that...
- and go to sleep early, okay? - Okay.
Right. Let's go to bed.
Let's go.
How cute.
That's such a good suggestion.
Is that so?
DL Group is a Korean brand preferred in China as well.
If we could close a deal with DL Group,
we'd be the one to be thankful.
Then can I expect a positive response?
Yes.
It sounds good to me,
but I'll let you know after an internal meeting.
Thank you in advance.
This is not enough.
President Song is the second-best in the Chinese distribution market,
but his distribution network is smaller than President Ko's.
He's in charge of small cities, so there’s less consumption.
But President Ko knows busy places with a large floating population,
so there's a high consumption rate.
This deal is a big risk to take abandoning President Ko.
This deal is worth as much as 50 million dollars.
If this deal goes back, we'd lose more money than we invested.
We had a competitive edge over Taesan Group...
in the Chinese market, but it could lower our brand preference.
Okay.
I'm on the same page.
Director Cha,
is there any way to convince President Ko?
Mr. Kim,
look into President Ko's schedule for tomorrow.
Yes, sir.
Is the company having a hard time because of Seo Jun?
Honey.
Don't worry too much.
There will be a way.
Are we eating already?
- You're up, Mi Ri. - Yes.
Do you know the time?
Wake up early.
Why would I when I'm jobless?
I know. Look for a job too.
You're nagging me again.
I can take care of myself. I'm not a kid.
What about Seo Jun?
He seemed to come home late again last night.
Did he leave already?
Yes, he went to work early.
He's working hard.
Hello,
President Ko.
What brings you here?
I heard...
you work out here every day when you're in Korea.
I was wondering if you could give me a chance...
to redeem myself about last time.
Are you looking into me now?
It's my personal time.
I find it very uncomfortable...
you came to me unannounced.
- Would you please... - My decision remains unchanged.
And it will be, so please don't come again.
If you do,
I'll use public power.
President Ko!
You won't take it?
Then what?
It must be about money anyway.
Your phone is ringing off the hook.
What if they come to our house?
Who will come to our house?
If you keep avoiding calls,
one of them would go crazy.
What would I do then?
I should lock the front door...
and tell them they came to the wrong house.
Come on!
Do it right before the creditors actually come here.
Make the angles acute.
If it's bad, I won't get paid.
My back!
My back hurts, so I can't work anymore.
- Look at him. - Let me stretch.
Look at him.
He didn't work that much.
He's exaggerating. That brat.
Okay. Good.
This is the house.
It's Yeo Sook Ja's house, right?
Who are you?
Are you a creditor?
- Well, I'm... - No.
There's no Yeo Sook Ja here. You got the wrong house.
I have the right address.
Isn't it Yeo Sook Ja's house?
I'm telling you it's not. She's not here. Go away!
This is the right address!
- Go away! - What's going on?
- My sister! - Hey!
Oh, my!
- Hey! - Yes.
You didn't call me. What brings you here?
You didn't take any calls.
- Did you cook your phone or what? - Really?
I had my reason.
It's been 30 years since I saw you.
You became so old.
Why did you get so old?
What? What are you talking about?
When I go outside, they still say I'm a young guy.
Seriously.
- Mom. - Yu Myung, you've never seen him.
This is your uncle. Say hello.
- My uncle? - Yes.
You're her youngest son, Yu Myung.
Yes. Hello, Uncle.
Okay. Nice to meet you.
- Hey! - Oh, my!
- But seriously, you got so old. - Oh, dear.
- Me too, right? - Look who's talking.
- I know. Oh, you! - Right.
(Yu Min Hyuk)
You can't leave without my permission anyway.
Let's not waste our energy.
How did it happen?
Hey,
my neck hurts. Sit down.
Why don't we start talking now?
I don't know anything. I mean it.
You know you can't be forgiven for the offenses...
I mentioned yesterday, right?
But...
I won't send you to jail for those.
Tell me who told you to do that.
If you tell me that,
I will overlook what happened five years ago.
I really don't know.
I just did what they told me for money.
You punk.
Are you going to go this way?
I mean it. They had me do it over the phone,
and paid me through a subway locker.
I've never met them. Believe me.
You're here.
As your request,
I looked into Lee Choong Gyo's call history from five years ago.
The numbers he contacted were...
from cloned phones or paid phones,
so it's impossible to track them down.
Is that so?
- Thank you. - No problem.
Who did this?
Who is this detail-oriented?
I dropped by on the way to an event.
I was worried that you didn't have breakfast.
I have no appetite,
but thanks.
Is there a solution...
about President Ko?
Not yet.
It should be resolved soon.
I'm worried.
Mrs. Ju, it's time to leave.
Okay.
Don't forget to eat it.
Take care of your health.
Don't work too much.
Okay. You can go now.
Okay.
My decision remains unchanged.
And it will be, so please don't come again.
If you do,
I'll use public power.
You're frustrated about President Ko, aren't you?
How did you find out this time?
Would you like me to help?
(A lamp in front of the wind. DL is in a crisis.)
He should be calling me by now.
(Cha Seo Jun)
One, two, three, four, five.
Hello, Seo Jun.
You don't look well already.
I saw the article.
It doesn't seem to be resolved yet.
No.
Not yet.
Actually,
that's why I wanted to see you.
I remembered you said you could help me.
I'd like to know what you can help me with.
President Ko owes me one.
I found his kid when he lost him.
So...
he was to grant me a wish.
No matter what that wish is.
Really?
Yes.
I'll grant that wish to you.
Thank you so much.
Instead,
there's a condition.
Let's...
get married.
Let's get married, Seo Jun.
(A Man in a Veil)
By the way, Seo Jun, you're bound to marry me.
Who the heck did this?
I'm sure I gave the footage to the detective.
You were late for the meeting. Why were you late that day?
Don't come close. Don't!
Sook Ja! Your life will get better now.
Now Yu Ra will live the life she wanted.
I like you that much, Seo Jun.
Do you like me or my background?
I don't need anything else.
All I want is marriage.
You're scarier than you look.
