(Board Meeting to be Held to Discuss Dismissal of CEO)
Anyone who sends a false tip to the prosecution...
is charged with obstruction of justice.
(CEO Jin Hwa Young)
(Witness)
What's the settlement cost for next month...
from the businesses in the department store?
- 140 million dollars, ma'am. - Make them into postdated checks.
- Sorry? - I'm going to invest...
those 140 million dollars into New Data Technology.
CEO Jin, that's the department store's...
I am Soonyang Department Store,
and Soonyang Department Store is me!
What's going on? That is Director Im's voice.
- Director Im? Why? - I have no idea.
Can anyone reach Director Im right now?
This recording was sent to the Prosecutors' Office...
by Ms. Im Myeong Sook, the former director of finance.
That was your voice, right?
So she secretly recorded our conversations?
Since when?
I believe this proves that you are indeed guilty of embezzlement.
The false tip didn't come from Miracle.
It came from you, Ms. Jin.
(Episode 10)
As for Ms. Jin,
I'm afraid she'll be investigated for embezzlement.
Did you say the prosecutors obtained evidence...
from one of the directors at the department store?
I apologize, sir.
When a dog bites its master,
whose fault is it?
Try all you want. 5 years? 10 years?
No. Even if I have to rot in prison for 50 years,
I will not hand over my shares to you.
Then I guess you'll end up rotting in prison,
and the department store stock will become worthless.
If you fail to pay off the promissory notes this month,
the department store will go bankrupt.
Then the creditors and banks will be the ones...
liquidating the subsidiaries that are of any worth.
If the group even had to lose its subsidiaries because of you,
do you think Grandfather would accept you back?
Thanks to you, Uncle Chang Je's political career would be over too.
Do you think he'll have you back?
This is your last chance. Hand over your shares.
Then I'll let you keep your dignity...
as Chairman Jin Yang Cheol's only daughter.
The prosecutors making you pose in front of the cameras...
I do not want Grandfather to see that.
Hey, why me? Why Soonyang Department Store?
I have never wronged you in any way!
You taught me.
Don't you dare delude yourself into thinking...
that you can be a rightful heir.
You guys...
are different...
from us.
That I'd never be the rightful heir to Soonyang.
(Share Transfer Agreement)
Then I should buy it.
Like this.
(Soonyang Department Store)
(Reborn Rich)
It's an honour, sir. Please allow me to escort you.
I heard you made my one and only daughter...
cry her eyes out...
so you could make this department store all yours.
But seeing how you hired a management specialist...
Why? Do you not feel confident about running it after all?
This furniture boutique's sales...
rose by 380 percent.
We believe it's because people are finally...
getting married and moving now that the economy is improving.
All right.
Since you joined us, this furniture boutique...
has become one of the best-performing shops.
Have you set the sales goal for next year?
What's the goal?
Various indexes that directly affect furniture sales,
such as the country's birthrate and marriage rate,
keep on dropping every year.
We should be as conservative as possible when setting the goal...
Do Jun, you should get this CEO of yours a pair of reading glasses.
I guess his eyesight is bad. He can see one thing...
but not the other.
Pardon me?
Even if the population were to decrease,
the number of single-person households will continue to rise.
At the moment, we struggle to sell a couch to each household.
Soon, we'll be able to sell a couch for each room.
What's your problem? Do you not want to earn money?
I should've been more thoughtful, sir.
Please forgive me.
Get your calculations right. Once you have set the sales target,
submit it to me.
Yes, sir.
How would you face your wife...
if you got fired before your contract was up?
As for Ms. Jin... It's not only circumstantial.
We have firm evidence that she committed embezzlement.
Yet you want me to wrap it up as a case of non-indictment?
What's the problem? She paid back what she had embezzled.
- Sir. - Prosecutor Seo.
You're young. Keep up with the trends, will you?
The ability to think flexibly is important in the 21st century.
I always thought it was such a shame that we were settling...
for a punishment-focused justice system.
It's about time the prosecution...
contributed to paving the way for reconciliation and forgiveness.
While she lost 140 million dollars due to a speculative investment,
a total of 37 businesses went bankrupt,
and 946 people lost their jobs.
Has she compensated the victims for their suffering?
Reconciliation and forgiveness?
Forcing the victims to forgive.
Do you call that restorative justice?
Aren't you doing this because you wish to reconcile with Soonyang?
Look, Prosecutor Seo Min Yeong.
Prosecutors have the right to prosecute crimes.
I'd like to exercise my rights and indict Ms. Jin.
Please help me, sir.
Darn it.
This is why I don't like working with women.
Hey, I bet you don't know...
why female prosecutors never get the key positions.
You never served in the army,
so you don't know how to work in an organization.
Article Seven of the Prosecutors' Office Act.
The Principle of Identity of Public Prosecutors. Don't you know?
"Obey any order of your superiors."
Just do as I say, you little brat!
I should get going.
- Grandfather. - Yes, I'm fine.
- Are you all right? - I'm totally fine.
- Here, have some water. - What? Okay, thanks.
Hey, take a seat.
Okay.
Keep this to yourself, Do Jun.
The doctors at the medical center wanted to run some tests on me,
so I took some X-rays.
What did the results say? Are you undergoing treatment?
For others, only their organs show up on their X-rays.
But below my chest, I have three things...
that others don't have.
Here resides my greed for money.
Here lies my distrust of those who work for me.
And down here...
is where you'd find...
my ability...
to betray anyone,
anytime.
You see,
I grew Soonyang to what it is today with those three things.
Did you say you wanted to buy Soonyang?
You won't be able to,
if all you've got is what everyone else has.
Let them...
do the work.
But...
never trust them.
Hwa Young ended up in that mess because she trusted her employees.
Do not trust anyone.
Do not open up to anyone.
If you do, it'll end up...
becoming nothing but your weakness.
You little rascal.
I'm off.
Then I may distrust you...
and betray you too, Grandfather.
Will that be okay?
Do Jun.
Do you think...
I trust you?
Oh, dear.
The case has been reassigned to a different prosecutor.
It's obvious.
You're a woman of principle.
You'd never blindly obey Chief,
so I bet this was the only way.
I know you worked hard on the case.
I'm sorry this happened.
This means I won't have to work late for a while. This is great.
Well, since we have nothing to do today,
why don't we leave right on the dot for once?
Like other civil servants.
Bye, I'm off.
Let's meet up.
You knew from the get-go.
That I wouldn't be able to indict Jin Hwa Young...
and that I'd have no choice but to let it go.
I had never once heard from you...
until you suddenly showed up and tipped me off.
From beginning to end,
you used me.
You knew from the get-go...
that I didn't tip you off for the sake of law and order.
Hey, that's... - "Let me use..."
"a third-generation heir to realize justice."
That's what you said. Don't you remember?
Hey, why... You really do have a way with words.
Do you take special lessons?
You're quite eloquent.
It is you.
The Seo Min Yeong I know.
Don't make that face.
Those eyes and that face, as if you know everything about me.
Don't do that.
I nearly bought...
your lie.
I'll become a great prosecutor?
When my boss told me I'd never be able to return...
to the Central Office if I got transferred because of this,
I couldn't even say anything...
because I didn't want to grow old as a mediocre civil servant...
who had to pack up every two years...
to transfer from a small-town office to another.
I'm so cowardly and materialistic.
You think I'll be a good prosecutor?
I bet you have no idea how sly I can be.
When they reassigned the case to someone else to reprimand me,
everyone else in the office was worried about me.
But the truth is, I was so relieved...
because it meant that no one would ever find out...
how cowardly and servile I was...
in front of my boss.
Why are you telling me all this?
I wonder too.
I always let you see right through me.
From the very beginning...
I should get going before I give more away.
I won't be a great prosecutor,
which means...
you lied to me.
("Explore Current Affairs," Prosecutor Seo Min Yeong)
- My gosh. - Seriously?
Oh, my.
- I can't believe this. - Me neither.
- Is this really happening? - My gosh!
Isn't he so cool?
- This feels so surreal. - I know.
- I knew it. - I love him so much.
My gosh.
- Oh, my. - This is so cool.
Min Yeong.
Who says...
I lied to you?
Let's go.
I wanted to show you.
What?
Look.
(Seo Tai Ji)
(Seo Tai Ji Returns to Korea)
Do you still think...
I lied to you?
If you can't trust yourself,
just trust me, Min Yeong.
The Seo Min Yeong I know...
will become a great prosecutor. I'm sure of it.
I told you to stop making that face.
The foreign exchange crisis, also known as the IMF crisis...
that occurred 3 years 8 months ago...
has officially ended today.
We have officially graduated...
from IMF.
Once again, I deeply express my gratitude.
Babies' first-birthday rings and wedding rings came out...
of wardrobes,
and people collected dollars cooperatively.
But as corporate restructuring started...
due to sovereign default,
jobless and homeless people increased exponentially.
By working our fingers to the bone...
and repaying the IMF debt of 19.5 billion dollars today,
the economic indicators...
such as foreign exchange reserve increase improved,
and foreigner investors have returned as well.
Does this make sense?
The redemption period Korea promised IMF...
was 2004, which is 3 years later.
Nobody from Wall Street expected Korea...
to repay the debt this fast.
Can you explain this?
Didn't you know?
It is Koreans' hobby to overcome a national crisis.
No. What I mean is,
how could you have been the only one who predicted this accurately?
Just like when IMF started.
Do you know what's the strangest?
You don't get excited at all.
If I were you, I wouldn't be here.
If the world moved as I predicted,
I would have died from my heart exploding...
or would have been jailed for leading a cult.
Calm down.
How can you stay so calm at that age?
It's as if you're much older.
Is that it?
Are you from another universe?
Don't laugh at his jokes.
It's Miracle Investment's investment rule.
You need to keep your cool when evaluating a performance.
I looked into it with a cool head.
Wouldn't the president who even won the Nobel Peace Prize...
want to secure the title of finishing IMF early...
no matter what?
- Especially before... - The presidential election.
The presidential election next year.
So?
As expected, all economic policies were focused...
on securing dollars.
By opening the market to foreign investors?
Yes.
From now on, money will decide the big and small events...
of companies.
And that will be...
a good opportunity...
for Miracle.
("The IMF Emergency Loan Repaid Early")
Everyone, good job paying off the country's debt.
So what if the country paid off the debt?
They keep bringing up financial solvency...
to meet the standard of the IMF.
How can we do business when the bank loan rate is so high?
Immediate cash flow is more important...
than companies' growth potential.
Do you know what this means?
The manufacturing industries are now dead.
We must start a moneylending business to survive.
Not manufacturing, but finance.
By finance,
do you mean insurance and investment?
Here is the plan for establishing...
Soonyang Financial Holding Company as instructed.
By Soonyang Financial Holding Company, you mean...
Soonyang Investment, Card, Insurance, Savings and so on.
To strengthen the affiliates related to finance,
he's planning to set up a financial holding company.
That's why you transferred 34 percent of Soonyang Card's share...
that was owned by Soonyang Electronics...
to Soonyang Insurance?
To set up a financial holding company separate from manufacturing?
It was unexpected of him...
to set up Soonyang Financial Holding Company.
Chairman Jin finally made a move.
He went against the political regulation,
the separation of industrial and financial capital.
That's merely a justification.
He's thinking of something else on the inside.
Did you not hear what Direct Jung of the medical center say?
There's a time bomb...
in my father's head.
There's a reason he is in a rush.
- Then why... - Think about it.
What will happen if Soonyang Financial Holding Company...
secures just five percent of Soonyang Corporation?
It can exert influence on every manufacturing affiliate...
- under Soonyang Corporation. - Bingo.
The owner of the financial holding company...
will become the owner of Soonyang Group.
(Daily Report on Executive Manager Jin Seong Jun)
It would be perfect for Seong Jun to take a position...
in the financial holding company.
Hyeon Min is doing her best every day.
To soothe your anger.
Seong Jun repented a lot for the past two years.
Look, Father.
(Daily Report on Executive Manager Jin Seong Jun)
He's getting along really well with the employees...
and is down-to-earth...
that most employees don't know...
that he is your eldest grandson.
The distribution warehouse has the highest sales as well.
You're right.
He's getting along well.
Tell him to stay there.
It suits him perfectly.
I'm too ashamed to see Hyeon Min, that's why.
Father, please.
Welcome.
- Welcome back. - Welcome back.
Hello, Hyeon Min.
You're here, Aunt Ji Na.
Why do you look so dull?
Living with your in-laws must be hard.
Tell me about it. You have both mother-in-law...
and grandmother-in-law.
Your grandmother-in-law is difficult,
and your mother-in-law is fussy.
On top of that,
your aunt-in-law is rude.
- Jeong Rae. - Hyeon Min.
How are you managing your facial expression...
that you get such a comment?
Remember you're living with your grandparents-in-law.
I'm sorry.
Why are you scolding her?
I'm the one you dislike.
You know that well.
If you have anything to say to her, tell me instead.
- Okay. - She's already having it hard...
with her in-laws. You don't need to add to that.
Sure.
Why would you take your sorrow of not having a son out on her?
If I talk to you,
would you even understand?
A special exhibition of Yun Hyong Keun...
and Park Seo Bo will be held at Hyeon Min's gallery,
so I wanted to buy some paintings.
Do you even know...
what monochrome painting...
or abstract art is?
What about pointillism?
The only art you know...
is the oriental art on your cushion.
- Are you done talking? - Yes.
What...
What are you doing? You're so uncultured!
Yes! I'm the daughter of a private loan market's financer,
and you're the daughter of a finance minister.
Seong Jun is going through this hardship because of you!
What do you think you are doing?
Your father is here.
Mother.
Jeong Rae.
Did you do this to her?
It's me, Grandmother. I did it.
Excuse me, bring the cleaning equipment.
Yes, ma'am.
You did?
I stumbled while I was walking down the stairs.
I'm sorry for making a fuss.
Are you okay, Aunt Ji Na?
Hyeon Min.
Come to my gallery.
I'll give you a nice painting as a present.
Mother really liked the monochrome paintings...
of Painter Park Seo Bo as well.
Because she could feel the ascetic life of the painter.
Do you think this makes sense?
You know Jung Hee Gu, the multi-level financial scammer?
I just came back from interviewing the victim,
and it's a total nightmare for them.
She invested 250,000 dollars...
which was her daughter's death benefit,
but she couldn't get back a cent.
But Jung Hee Gu, that jerk,
won't even get punished because he died in Southeast Asia.
Imagine how wronged she feels. It was her daughter's death benefit.
Don't you think so?
I see.
You worked hard.
Being late for 40 minutes is not bad.
Thank you.
I know you're late from listening to her story.
So stop being sorry, and let's eat.
When did you order?
Just now.
When you were running and fixing your makeup.
I don't get it.
What do you mean?
Why do you need to fix your makeup when you're pretty?
Eat up.
Thank you.
What a world.
The damage was over four billion dollars,
and there were over 70,000 innocent victims.
But in the end,
the case was closed for not having the authority to file prosecution.
Capital market runs...
on an appropriate amount of ignorance and greed.
Is Miracle Investment in that market as well?
Why? Are you worried?
That I might stand in front of you as a suspect?
You know New Data Technology, right?
I heard it was under investigation.
They are investigating accounting fraud...
and matched orders.
We received a complaint.
A third-generation conglomerate family member...
is one of the people who manipulated stock prices.
The rich are always greedier.
Prosecutor Seo, take charge of the case from search and seizure.
It's a sensitive matter.
It says whose son he is, right?
They wrote the news without checking the facts?
Which newspaper company is it?
Hyunsung Daily released it on the internet first...
saying it's exclusive news.
Hyunsung Daily?
Now, evening economic newspapers will follow suit...
and 9pm news will become their speakers.
Look.
("New Data Technology's Jackpot Story Turns Out to Be an Operation")
What operation? Does this make sense? Me?
We got dragged into their operation.
Darn it.
We're from the prosecution. Stop what you're doing...
and get up from your seat.
Everyone, stand up.
I'm Prosecutor Seo Min Yeong of FTCD...
at Seoul District Public Prosecutors' Office.
We received a complaint saying Miracle Investment...
was systematically involved in the stock price manipulation...
of New Data Technology.
Mr. Song.
(Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office)
Will you cooperate?
Based on the information you tipped off,
the prosecution is investigating.
Isn't it strange?
Do Jun...
sold off all of his shares of New Data Technology...
right before the stock price plummeted.
As if he knew...
what was going to happen after that.
Internal trading using private information?
He was able to set a perfect trap for my wife because of that too?
Oh, dear.
Anyway,
deal with him well...
so that Hwa Young doesn't feel wronged.
But...
it is against the securities exchange act,
but it won't be easy.
It's always hard to prove that they used internal information...
at the point of trading.
Does that matter?
A trial doesn't only take place in court.
I see.
Why did he manipulate the stock price? What does he lack?
Why did the stock price drop so drastically?
("Third-Generation Heir Laughing Behind Small Investors' Tears")
The family of a conglomerate is killing off all the small investors.
(Small Investors, Gather Here!)
(The Culprit Behind New Data Technology Stock Price Manipulation)
An official says other than Mr. Jin of a certain company,
three more heirs of conglomerates are suspected to be involved,
but it is not easy to prove the charge against them,
so they cannot investigate openly.
The stock price manipulation...
Are you holding a court of public opinion first?
When the prosecutor in charge just started?
Am I that unreliable?
Or are you not confident of this case?
He's the third-generation heir of Soonyang.
Public opinion must boil up...
so that we can keep our pace until the trial.
You're relying on whimsical public opinion...
because you're afraid of Soonyang?
You're a prosecutor, at that. How embarrassing.
Hey, Prosecutor Seo.
You...
- What? - Starting tomorrow morning,
don't share internal information with reporters in a sauna.
Publication of facts of suspected crime is strictly illegal.
I'm going to...
do my best...
and investigate the case thoroughly...
so that the judgement of law will be enough.
Why you little...
It's not true.
I mean it. We're not involved.
It's a temporary issue.
That news is fake.
Hold on.
I'm going to repeat what you just said.
You want to cancel...
Of course. I will return your investment according to the process.
Miracle Investment won't be shaken just from this.
As you know, there aren't many investment companies...
in the market that makes as much profit as us.
Okay. I'm hanging up.
I gave it a thought.
They attacked us with New Data Technology...
and even moved the prosecution,
so I thought it was CEO Jin Hwa Young taking revenge.
But no.
They know about the flow of our stock trading in detail.
- That means... - Yes.
It's Vice-Chairman Jin Dong Ki of Soonyang Investment.
If you meet him, tell him...
that his operation was successful.
How many people want...
their investment returned?
For rich people, security is as important as the rate of return.
A scandal like this...
- is critical. - Exactly.
How much is it?
Hello, sir.
Is Grandfather upstairs?
- Yes. - Thank you.
Grandfather is very worried about you.
I'm finding out...
just how strong Hyunsung Daily is.
If you need my help, tell me anytime.
We're family.
Thank you. I'll keep that in mind.
You should go inside. The elders must be waiting.
Is it true?
Well...
I never considered stock manipulation, Grandfather.
What I made from New Data Technology...
was just average by Miracle's standards.
Then...
is this innocent kid...
being harassed by the joint forces of the media and prosecution?
My own grandson?
They should know better.
Do you want me to call Director Park at the Central Prosecutors' Office?
You can't do that, not in this day and age.
Just one missed call from you...
will make them say we're invading their right to investigate.
Is that what you want them to say, Father?
Right now,
the investigation isn't what Do Jun should be worrying about.
Miracle's investors are calling, demanding refunds.
They want their money back.
It'll be too much for him to handle on his own.
Miracle must handle a massive amount of cash.
He can't retrieve it all immediately.
How much longer do you think he can survive...
without an influx of capital?
What do you think will happen if he can't return the investments?
Soonyang will be the one to take the hit.
They'll say the financial market isn't a playground for the rich.
Then what?
Do you have a solution?
Miracle Investment...
Soonyang Investment will acquire the company.
Let's turn it into a PR coup, Father.
An uncle who took responsibility for his nephew's errors.
If Soonyang gets involved, the investors will calm down,
and they'll stop demanding a refund.
If Soonyang Investment takes over Miracle,
financial authorities will stop complaining we're amassing...
a slush fund or that we must be investigated for tax evasion.
It makes sense.
- Grandfather... - Dong Ki.
Then...
you'd better pay Do Jun...
the right price.
Yes.
Good.
That's done.
Grandfather.
All I need right now is time.
Once the prosecutors realize I didn't manipulate the stock price,
everything will go back to normal.
You don't have to worry about Miracle.
Come on.
I'm not worried about you.
It's Soonyang, that I'm worried about.
Okay?
Right now, we need 480 million. There's no other way.
The Soonyang Department Store and Ahjin Motors shares we own.
We have to sell them all.
There's no guarantee we can liquidate it all.
In the current market,
finding someone with that much buying power...
will take time.
What if we take longer and miss the repayment deadline?
That could cause a massive delay.
Darn it.
Will you say something? Anything.
I'm getting frustrated over here.
If I speak up,
will you two do as I say?
There can be no issues with the repayment schedule.
No delay, suspension, or legal restrictions.
Because then, Jin Yang Cheol will get involved...
and won't stop at anything to feed Miracle...
to Soonyang Investment.
So what?
The overseas shares Miracle invested in.
Liquidate them all.
Rachael. How much will that be worth in today's exchange rate?
You want to bring that money in now?
When prosecutors are watching...
this black-haired foreigner so closely?
Wake up. We'll never see a cent of it if you do that.
They'll take it all saying it's tax.
Wouldn't that be a waste?
Those overseas shares ensured us a stable profit...
over the past five years.
Mr. Oh.
Do you remember what I said to you five years ago in the US?
I asked you...
to turn my hunch into data and profits.
This is the only option I can think of.
Retrieve everything we invested overseas. Please.
To uproot Do Jun completely,
this is the perfect timing.
According to numerology,
Do Jun's time and date of birth clash with the current time.
The negative energy,
the misfortune index has doubled.
What's the clash?
Figuratively, "a tiger bites and you bleed."
In other words, you will die an unnatural death.
He'll die away from home.
The one issue is,
if you factor in his date of birth,
if he manages to overcome the tiger's deadly bite,
he can attain riches and fame beyond that of anyone else's.
So I must not miss out this time?
I must do whatever I can to make Miracle mine.
Make the call.
Tell that guy to bring me Do Jun's investment portfolio.
- Sir. - Yes?
Do you think the prosecutors could find Do Jun guilty?
I'm a businessman.
If you make money, you're innocent.
If you lose money, you're guilty. That's it.
Mr. Lee. Do you know...
what's most important in the capital market?
- No. - The IMF said...
- it's the global standard. - What?
Work like a dog to spend like a mogul.
That's the Korean standard.
The global standard says we must earn like a mogul too.
Without getting dirty.
While observing the law.
And being moral.
The capital market won't consider Do Jun as a mogul.
He's dirty all over.
Is that why you agreed...
to let Mr. Jin Dong Ki take over Miracle?
Dong Ki is good with numbers.
He pushed aside Heavy Machinery and Chemicals...
to take over the investment and insurance business.
If the picture he wants to paint is the same as mine,
it wouldn't be a bad idea...
for Dong Ki to take my seat.
The financial holding company.
Will you give it to him?
(Miracle Investment's Overseas Investment Portfolio)
(Miracle)
So...
Miracle's incredible rate of earnings...
was due to overseas shares?
Yes, sir.
And these are what they invested in?
Give it to him.
- I'll leave now, sir. - Okay.
- I expect a lot from you. - Okay. Thank you.
I know that...
a terrible tragedy that no one can even imagine...
is about to happen.
What happened when I was a child in my other life.
If it were me, I'd back Roh Tae Woo's campaign.
Kim Young Sam and Kim Dae Jung of the Democratic Party...
decided against single candidacy earlier today.
An aircraft with 95 passengers and 20 flight attendants...
went missing above Yangon, Myanmar.
They also most definitely happen in my current lifetime...
of Jin Do Jun.
As if mocking...
my efforts and desires.
They most definitely happen.
All I can do...
is to make my own choices.
This just came in.
You're looking at a clearly very disturbing live shot there.

of the World Trade Center this morning.
What effects do we expect?
How much will we lose?
Between 10 to 15 for KOSDAQ, 17 for KOSPI.

The US market will be closed for four days.
As soon as it opens tomorrow,
people will sell in a panic across all industries.

Yes, sir.
Sir. There's another more pressing issue.
The shares you bought in New York...
that were in Miracle's portfolio.
Airlines, hotels, travel agencies, and insurance companies.
They're businesses that'll suffer the most after this incident.
A loss is inevitable.

This is all on you.
You said Do Jun is lucky with money!
I apologize, sir.
Scrape together all the money we have.
As soon as the market opens tomorrow,
buy put options.
Put options?
They're designed to protect you against a loss!
Even if the stock market crashes,
I will survive and get out somehow.
No, right?
Young expat, you didn't know this would happen.
How could you have known?
Not even the FBI or CIA knew.
It was the only option...
we could choose.
It was a terrorist attack in the center of New York.
No one can say when Wall Street will recover from the shock.
If we hadn't done...
what you'd said and didn't sell our shares in the overseas markets...
Mr. Oh.
To all the victims of this attack,
send a donation.
In Miracle's name.
Why don't we buy some put options?
The market will crash for the next few days.
We made a lot from selling all we had in the New York market.
When the market opens tomorrow,
people will try to sell whatever they own.
I'll buy up some blue-chip stocks.
You'll go against the tide?
If you buy put options that bet the market will crash,
we could make some money.
Because that's going with the flow.
But what I want...
is to change the flow.
Goodnight.
(Buy Miracle Fund for sale)
(A country that'll rise again)
A country that will rise again.
Invest in a miracle.
By our hands, with our efforts,
let's buy miracles.
Buy Miracle.
We believe in the Korean economy.
Miracle Investment.
Do Jun's using aggressive strategies to make funds...
more accessible and popular.
It's just that the domestic stock market...
hasn't yet recovered from the 9-11 attacks.
(Buy Miracle)
What's today's KOSPI index?
The KOSPI index is 472 points, the lowest it has ever been,
but that's okay.
After just one week, the Buy Miracle Fund...
(Accumulated sales exceeded 1 billion dollars)
exceeded one billion dollars.
Young expat, ever heard of "Retire45" or "56Thief?"
The retirement age is 45.
If you stay on until you're 56, you're a thief.
What about "38 Line?"
If you turn 38,
you're nearing the end of your working life.
That's the 38 Line.
Right. They're all people who can't rely on the interest rate.
Our clients.
Buy Miracle Fund will end the age of saving accounts...
and open the age of investments.
(Accumulated sales exceeded 1 billion dollars)
Buy Miracle Fund was released two weeks ago,
and we now have four billion dollars.
Yes!
Other funds that our competitors launched...
are doing well also.
Altogether, the money we flooded the market with is 90 billion.
(Fund sales on a high, 90 billion)
The KOSPI index has been rising for a month...
and broke the 540 mark.
We're completely over the 9-11 attacks.
Young expat.
You did change the flow.
(Stock Market)
Isn't this all wrong?
(Stock Market)
How can the KOSPI index...
be on the rise already?
Answer me!
Over 3,000 died in a terrorist attack...
in the center of New York.
So how, why, how on earth...
How could things recover after just one month?
Where are all the people who said there'd be a war?
How come everything is so peaceful?
(Vice-Chairman Jin Dong Ki)
The US lowered the interest rate, improving liquidity.
Future stocks sold at a record high,
so the ten million dollars you invested in put options...
in case the market crashed...
was lost.
No one could have foreseen this kind of bull market.
Miracle Investment's Buy Miracle fund.
Who could've thought they'd create such a dramatic turnaround...
in the Korean market?
Why you...
Sir, you have a visitor.
Hello, Mr. Baek.
Thank you.
Hello, Uncle.
"Buy Miracle?"
You scraped together what little you had to launch...
a successful fund,
and you're acting like a victorious hero.
Do you think I don't know? You also...
You lost just as much as I did.
The airlines, travel agencies, hotels, and insurance companies...
you'd invested in through the New York Stock Exchange.
Do you think I don't know you lost all that...
in the 9-11 terrorist attacks?
Oh, that?
New York Air, the Lavender Hotel chain,
Seventy Insurance, and Tour Eagles?
How odd.
Miracle's investment portfolio is top secret.
How do you know all that?
You can't let in a neighbour's dog just because they're cute.
You're the one who'll lose out.
You punk!
Why did you come here?
Did you come here to lecture me?
No.
I'm here to buy...
Soonyang Investment.
What?
Regardless of the country's economy,
regardless of whether your customers lose their savings,
you're praying the market will crash...
when you're the head of an investment company.
I can't let you stay in charge any longer.
Do Jun.
Do Jun!
Do you think...
the world will go the way you want?
Of course not.
Oh, right.
The National Pension, Teachers' Pension,
and Pension and Funds Bureau...
decided to cut ties with Soonyang Investment.
What?
Oh, you didn't know?
You lost over ten million dollars...
in a speculative put option investment,
and they want to hold you responsible...
for the extreme and dogmatic decision.
Uncle. The Pension and Funds Bureau.
They're your largest client and second majority shareholder...
with a 12-percent stake.
If they cut ties with you,
does that mean selling their stake...
or cancelling all transactions?
No, wait. It could be both.
Too bad.
If Miracle were to take over...
and we appoint...
(Contract of Acquisition)
an investment expert,
the worst can be avoided.
A nephew takes the responsibility for his uncle's shortcomings.
I like that picture.
Here you go.
- Have a coffee. - Thank you.
Mr. Ha. I have a question.
You could've gone back to work for Vice-Chairman Jin Dong Ki.
Why did you choose me?
I didn't make a choice.
If I were to lose this job,
it would only mean I'd messed up.
Do you think anyone at Soonyang would take me back then?
From the start, I was never allowed...
a choice.
You were born into this family as 4-2,
so you wouldn't get it.
I'm 4-2?
My gosh. I apologize.
Chairman Jin's fourth son's second son.
Is that it?
Yes.
That 4-2...
asks you to do your best.
Right.
Thank you.
Move.
Where is Father?
What a lovely sight.
Mom. Where is Father?
Father!
Dong Ki!
You, stay out of it.
Father, where are you? Come on out!
I have something to settle with the old man!
Father, I have something to say!
What's all this noise about?
Father.
I know everything.
I know that...
you're behind Do Jun. I know that now.
Hwa Young and I,
the fact that we lost everything...
to our nephew who's just a kid.
It makes no sense...
unless you're behind him!
- That's enough! - Soonyang!
You wanted Do Jun to take over from the very beginning.
Isn't that so? Right?
Why... Why is it...
Why is it always me...
Why am I always pushed to the wayside?
My gosh...
How much longer must I struggle and grovel?
What can I do, what am I to do to make you care about me?
For how long...
How much longer must I live like this for?
My gosh... Father.
Father...
Is that all he's capable of?
My goodness.
I had no idea.
Father.
It's cold outside.
I'm burning with fury inside.
You must sort things out for them before it's too late.
Making sure the siblings stay close is another way to protect Soonyang.
It's only natural...
that they resent Do Jun.
Hang Jae, do you also think Do Jun is going too far?
What are you doing here?
The chairman wants to see you.
What? You look like you saw a ghost.
You didn't call ahead.
Get in.
There's somewhere we must go.
Do you think this is allowed?
Hwa Young and Dong Ki...
are your aunt and uncle.
They're my kids.
Your father's siblings.
Must you go to the very end?
If need be.
What?
I guess I'm like you.
I have three extra things in here.
They're full of greed, suspicion, and change of mind.
That's three.
What?
Are you sure?
Father...
is with Do Jun?
- What? - A press conference is scheduled.
Reporters from TV stations and the major papers...
are waiting for the chairman to arrive.
He's going to make it official.
Without even a word to us.
(Soonyang History Museum)
- Where's the chairman? - What's going on?
- Can you tell us what it's about? - What do you know?
Any comments, sir?
Calm down, please, everyone.
This press conference is about...
Soonyang Financial Holding Company's establishment.
We'll begin as soon as the chairman arrives which will be shortly.
Please bear with us.
Is it true the holding company is to decide who his heir will be?
Has he decided on someone?
Will the new CEO become his successor?
- Please tell us. - Come on, now.
Please ask those questions to the chairman himself.
Do Jun, how about you run it?
Pardon?
Soonyang Financial Group.
I'm going to give it to you.
Now, I know the reason why...
I remember nothing about 4-2, Jin Do Jun.
(Jin Do Jun, 4-2, Deceased)
It's because I died.
And...
things that are bound to happen...
always happen, without fail.
