"Kang Hera" [ Episode 13 ]
"Kang Hera"
I am here to meet the in-service anchor Cha Ee Hyeon
who has been linked to a sponsor prostitution scandal.
If you harm Ga On in any way...
I will kill you.
I know you ordered Kang to get rid of Ee Hyeon and Ga On.
The truth might get out, so you're trying to get rid of Kang.
Kang Hera.
What are you doing here?
Mr. Cha.
You should keep a tight leash around your hunting dog.
Oh my, she doesn't know?
That you kept her next to you, so she could be your hunting dog.
Managing Director Kim...
I don't know what you're talking about.
What do you mean?
We should go talk.
Then you don't about that, either?
Mr. Cha here is...
Cha Ee Hyeon's little brother.
To Cha Min Joon, Kang Hera is
the target for his revenge
and also his hunting dog to get his revenge.
You should know your place.
You're merely a hunting dog.
You're Ee Hyeon's brother?
Did you use me all this time?
Cha Ee Hyeon...
she is my elder sister.
I had a vendetta against President Kim and his daughter for hurting my sister.
It's true that I used you for my own vendetta.
It's because I exposed her scandal on TV?
I guess you two have something in common.
While offering people a favor,
you betray them behind their back.
What really happened between you and my sister?
For your own success,
you exposed a fictional scandal about my sister, so I wanted revenge.
I felt sorry for my sister who helped you but got betrayed.
But the more I got to know you...
I didn't know what to think.
But the more I spend time with you...
I realized that you wouldn't destroy someone for no reason.
What really happened between you and my sister?
You took time off college because of your mother's medical bills?
Someone asked me to recommend a nice tutor.
I'll double check if they still want a tutor.
By the way, how about a reporter?
A reporter?
A senior in college?
She's a senior in college and still got you that job?
When was this?
It took place in the lobby just a while ago.
That woman, Kang Hera...
I want you to get rid of her for me.
What do you mean exactly?
I wouldn't want to see her
near me or Ga On anymore.
If anything happens to her now,
Ga On will feel psychologically unstable.
I think it's better to take some time and think this matter through.
Find out about Kang Hera and her colleagues
and also Mr. Cha's colleagues as well.
Yes, sir.
"Cha Ee Hyeon Goes Missing From KEY Ferry Accident"
Your husband's dead, so you should take responsibility!
Bring me back my son!
"FB Insurance Pays Insurance Money For KEY Ferry"
We need to talk.
About what?
I've got nothing to talk about.
I do.
Don't even think about saying it's all a misunderstand, okay?
That's not what I wanna hear.
I need to know what you're thinking, so I can make things right.
You're still trying to act like a know-it-all?
Hera exposed the scandal about Cha Ee Hyeon,
so her brother Cha Min Joon approached her to get revenge.
Am I wrong?
What are you talking about?
Cha Min Joon got close to Hera to get his revenge.
Min Joon and Do Yoon moved into this building
and Min Joon hired Hera with all those cases...
Just so he could use Hera and get his revenge.
What do you mean by revenge?
It's been 12 years.
He searched for her sister for 12 years
and he had to watch the people responsible on TV all those years.
Why is that Hera's fault?
The scandal...
It all started with Kang Hera.
She didn't verify the facts and spread false information.
It turns out
Min Joon's sister cared for Hera for being a junior in college.
His sister got Hera that reporter job.
His sister was Min Joon's only family.
He didn't know if his sister was dead or alive for 12 years!
Where are you going?
I don't know.
I have to clear my head.
Hyeon Seong.
Let's pretend we don't know about this.
If Do Yoon tells Min Joon that we found out about all this...
he might tell Hera as well.
It'll be hard for Hera to hear this from someone else.
"Reporter Cha Ee Hyeon, Missing From KEY Ferry Accident"
What are you doing sitting out here zoned out like that?
I wanted to clear my head.
What's bothering you so much?
- You're leaving? - Sure.
I'm feeling better and I should go open the cafe.
See you around.
Take care and see you.
Umm, sir.
What do you do when you feel confused?
Me?
- I go to a fishing place. - Fishing place?
- Yeah. - You feel better after you catch fish?
You'll get stresses if you intend to catch any fish.
You just sit there without thinking about anything.
Also look around the scenery from time to time.
Then you can clear your head.
When the fish bites, that's the beauty of fishing.
Ah...
But you look as if you're zoned out all the time,
so you don't have to go all the way to a fishing place.
Pardon me?
- Bye. - Good-bye.
A fishing place?
You're Ee Hyeon's brother?
Did you use me all this time?
Oh, you're just in time.
How are you feeling?
I'm feeling much better, so I'm leaving.
I just wanted to say bye before I go.
I'm glad I bumped into you, Mr. Cha.
Please, no honorifics.
Okay, maybe next time.
I truly thank you for everything you've done for me.
- I'll see you around. - Of course.
Sir.
if you're not in a hurry, how about a cup of tea?
Thank you.
Hera didn't get married because she loved Lee Hoon Seok.
After she got the reporter job, it seemed he did something to Hera.
Because of that, she got pregnant, so they got married.
But he started giving her a hard time right after they got married.
She even lost her baby because of him.
Well, she had a rough time,
but she had a hard time facing the fact that
her close senior from college got Hera that reporter job.
She was haunted feeling betrayed.
Maybe she offered that job because Hera was job searching?
Not at all.
The job was intended for her senior
because Hera had no experience with the media.
The producer and host of the show were rumored to be notorious.
But she still got Hera that job
and then she interviewed a very powerful man.
I heard that interview led her to her success.
I guess you two have something in common.
While offering people a favor,
you betray them behind their back.
We will interrogate Kang Dae Sik when he's awake.
Oh my, she doesn't know?
That you kept her next to you so she could be your hunting dog.
Why...
wouldn't you take care of yourself?
- Mail. - Thank you.
"Family Relation Certificate"
Family of the person responsible
and the family of a missing person?
What is all this?
I'm ready with President Kim and his insurance scam.
Once they send us their PR material, I'll release it in succession.
After that, release the shipping business scam as well.
Information on the ship that was in an accident and evidence that
after the accident, President Kim and other officials closed the case fast.
They're all in here.
Hiding the fact of a fault in the ship and illegal expansion,
they closed case by blaming everything on the captain.
Well, it's been 11 years and at that time your father
controlled the media to a minimum. Will the public be interested?
Are you saying it's impossible?
No.
I think this should be released through gossip and to social media.
Then it won't look suspicious if our news covers the story.
Insurance scam should be released on every social media.
Then in succession, the news should cover that the shipping company
that caused an accident 11 years ago has imported ships again.
People will connect the dots in no time.
About the gossip...
About the gossip and social media...
I'll have my people take care of it.
What the...
Fish ate the bait and bailed...
What are you doing here?
Did you catch any fish?
I'm not here to catch fish.
Hey, I heard you say grumble that the fish took off with the bait.
Did you come here to pick a fight?
Watch your mouth.
The truth is, I had to clear my head, too.
I was shocked and disturbed to hear all that from Do Yoon.
As you know, I can't help investigate things, right?
So, I did some digging into Do Yoon and Min Joon's sister.
This is where it gets weird.
Do Yoon's father was responsible for a ship
that was in an accident 11 years ago.
Do Yoon's father was the aptain of that boat.
The captain took bribe money and loaded more cargo
and the ship was in an accident.
But Min Joon's sister was on board of that ship.
She's one of the missing person from the ship's accident.
They never recovered her body.
- What? - Right?
Something doesn't add up, right?
Under such circumstances,
they should hate each other but they don't.
Do Yoon is loyal to Min Joon
and Min Joon takes care of him like a brother.
As if they are family.
I can't stand it. I should get to the bottom of this.
I should go ask him.
The job was intended for her senior.
But she still got Hera that job.
That can't be true.
It must be a misunderstanding.
Hey, you were here.
I have to tell you something.
I'm sorry, but I'm in a rush.
- We'll talk later. - But...
Mr. Cha! Min Joon.
I got cold outside.
Let me get to the point.
Because of what I do, I looked into Min Joon's sister and you.
The two of you had your own intention and approached Hera,
so I had to do something about it.
There's one thing I don't understand.
From what I've gathered so far,
you're family of the person responsible and he's family of a missing person.
Then you two should hate each other,
but how come you're working together?
My father wasn't the captain of KEY Ferry.
He worked as a crewman for over 20 years.
After a while, he got his license because he wanted to become a captain.
So he didn't get to operate the ferry often.
Later, he got a call from the owner of the ship
that the captain of KEY ferry quite his job.
That day...
was his first and last day my father operated the ship.
I should come clean about how he blamed everything on the captain.
Keep your mouth shut.
Let's go inside.
The moment I found out my father was framed,
I was furious and went to see the owner.
I got locked up.
That's when Min Joon visited me
and told me President Kim is responsible for everything.
What a shitty situation!
This world is messed up.
This world is asking for revenge!
You must have wanted to kill him so bad!
How did you stop from doing that?
Wait a minute.
Is it true Min Joon's sister went missing due to the accident?
Her name was on the passenger list,
but she called Min Joon after the accident.
But that was the last of her for over 10 years.
Let's help him.
We should help him so he can get his revenge.
Where should we start? What's our first move?
I don't know if Cha Ee Hyeon got Kang Hera that job knowing that.
Is it true what people say about that job?
Things much have changed now,
but they were scumbags like Lee Hoon Seok back then.
Everybody in this field knew about that.
It was shortly after Cha Ee Hyeon became a freelancer reporter,
so she must have accepted the job to start a new career.
It's true that no one in the field wanted that reporter position.
Everybody kept it a secret, but everybody in the field knew
what he did to her and that her married life was tough.
She couldn't divorce him because of the kid.
Lee Hoon Seok appeared on shows with his son,
so everybody knew the kid's face.
People knew Kang Hera put up with everything to protect her kid
because she knew a divorce makes it difficult for the kid to live on.
There aren't a lot of information on the accident.
It's been 11 years,
so it won't be easy to find any related evidence.
Let me take a look at that.
I'm trying to persuade those who worked at the shipping company
and those who participated in disassembling the ship.
Finding them will prove everything?
Two of you should go ahead and work on that.
Hera, can we talk?
Shouldn't you go with them?
I heard you talking in the hallway.
You heard everything?
About Min Joon, too?
I found out about that this morning through Min Joon.
Hyeon Seong accidently found out and I found out
and I was worried about you. How you must feel...
So, I looked into their relationship,
but I had some questions, so I was asking Do Yoon about it.
But I couldn't ignore Do Yoon's situation.
Why am I interfering in other people's business?
If you want to, go ahead and help him.
I'd feel bad for you.
Don't mind me.
I'll think this through, too.
Okay. Call me if you need someone to talk to.
I'll head out then.
Yes, sir.
What's the progress with customs?
I'm meeting the person in charge soon.
Make sure it goes according to plan.
After you meet him, return to my office.
Yes, sir.
- Send out the press release. - Yes, sir.
Sir, is there a reason you need the money taking all the risks?
You think I'm doing all this to make some money?
I have lots of money, but as you know...
not everything is about money.
I'm making connections on the way.
There are people who need money or who wants to have money.
There are various cases.
I sort out those who can help me and tie them with money.
Then what happens?
Whenever I need something, they get things done.
Being loyal to having feelings for someone doesn't matter.
Connection tied with money is the most solid relationship you can get.
FB Fire Insurance closed a 100 billion won shipping contract.
This led to a respectable performance
in profits and sales in the latter half of this year.
FB Fire Insurance made over 600 billion won profit
this latter half of the year.
The company accomplished earnings surprise regardless of the market prospect.
This is 158% higher than last year.
Release the gossip on social media.
Emphasize that the owner of a shipping company
who is responsible for an accident is deeply connected with President Kim.
Okay.
It's me.
Gossip will go around and if the news covers the story,
President Kim will do something about it.
Are you ready for what will happen next?
Don't worry.
I've prepared several options in case he tries to put pressure on us.
As you said, there are many justice reporters out there.
They will be glad to take part in taking President Kim down.
He will be going down without any dignity left.
Come in.
How long have you been a reporter?
It's been 4 years.
4 years...
You wanna get fired being a reporter or be laid off as an office worker?
Pardon me?
Are you pretending you don't understand or you really don't?
I want to work as a report as long as I can.
Follow me.
Your father's friend works here?
Yes, that's right.
I hope we get something today.
We got nothing yesterday.
Let's go inside first.
Yes, of course.
FB Life Insurance and FB Fire Insurance are the root of this company.
Even if we covert into a holding company,
we will still look after our root.
Don't worry about that.
I'll see you on the Company Foundation Day.
After the event, I'll treat the shareholders exclusively.
Okay.
How dare they accused us of interfering with their work?
You said there's one more place, right?
- Yes. - Let's check that place out.
Okay.
Sir, we have a problem.
What is it?
During the investigation at that time,
the accident was due to the overweight of the cargo on the ship.
However, a former employee of the company tells us a different story.
The engine was old in the first place.
The ship itself was old and soldered here and there.
I don't know how such a ship passed customs and operated.
11 years after the accident,
the shipping company changed its name and imported more ships.
Staffs will be responsible for their passengers and cargo.
But are they aware of the accident 11 years ago?
What actions can the officials take to prevent the same tragedy from happening?
Get this document to Mr. Ahn right away.
Yes, ma'am.
Mr. Ahn, it's me.
I sent over the shipping documents related to the news.
You'll have to proceed quickly before my father makes a move.
Of course.
I'll be sure to look out for you.
When this is all over,
you ought to go up to a higher place.
That news is related to Do Yoon's father's accident, isn't it?
I think it does.
I should go meet Do Yoon.
I'll go with you.
We won't be long.
Ga On.
Mom, it's the truth.
We can really meet.
Let's get some snack over the weekend.
I wanna go to the snack bar we went before.
I'll ask again and call you later.
Okay, Ga On.
It was your father's friend on TV, right?
- Yes. - Where are you going?
I got in touch with the person who disassembled the ship.
- Really? I'll go with you. - Me, too.
Let's all go then.
What is the gossip about?
11 years ago,
the actual owner of the company that had the accident
and the insurance company that paid the money is you.
So, the money paid by FB Fire Insurance is your secret fund.
Who did this?
Who's responsible?
They visited Seomyeong Shipping Association a few days ago.
Today, they paid a visit to an employee at KEY Ferry warehouse.
Are they reporters?
One of them is the son of KEY Ferry's captain that was in the accident.
The other two are from Gusan Agency.
Gusan Agency?
Where Kang Hera works?
Yes, sir.
Kang Hera...
Umm... you said you'll let me meet my mom.
I called her and wanted to know if I can see her this weekend.
Ms. Min.
Ms. Min!
Get the kid out of here.
How dare you let the kid out of your sight!
Where did he get a phone
and how come you let him talk to anybody, huh?
I'm so sorry.
Tae On gave me the phone.
You won't be able to meet your mother after all.
One day, you have to cut all connections with her.
That's all for now.
Are you okay?
I think you'd better give me the phone.
- Yes. - What's going on?
I just watched the news.
There are gossip about the shipping and insurance company.
Is it Do Yoon's work?
No, I don't think he did this.
I'll check if the families of the deceased is responsible.
Do Yoon.
What?
Someone who worked on disassembling the ship?
The person you are trying to reach is currently unavailable...
Ga On, if your father says no, don't pester him.
I'll talk to him about it.
The person you are trying to reach is currently unavailable...
Ga On!
It's late. How did you get here?
Mommy!
Can't I live here with you?
Ga On, did something happen?
I just wanna live with you.
Mommy! Can't we live together?
Okay, I'll talk to your father about that.
Are you Kang Hera?
You are under arrest for kidnapping a minor.
What?
Mommy! Mommy!
Ga On.
Go home with Mr. Ko. I will be okay.
Mr. Ko! Why are the police arresting my mother?
Tell me why they're arresting my mother!
What happened?
Please, help my mother.
Don't let the police take away my mom. Please!
Mr. Cha Min Joon?
Yes.
She says you're not her lawyer, so you may leave.
I will never go meet my mother without telling you.
It will never happen again.
Please, let my mother go.
I won't run away again.
Let my mother go. I beg you, please.
I'll never leave like that again.
Ms. Min.
Mommy! Mommy!
He's just a kid.
To Ga On, Kang Hera is his mother.
I told you earlier to get rid of her.
She's around the kid and that's why he's confused.
Is that the only reason?
Fine.
Choi Do Yoon who works for you and Gusan Agency people are
looking into the shipping accident that happened 11 years ago.
Did you know that?
If that accident becomes public,
the current business and even you won't be safe.
Why don't you drop the charges against Kang Hera?
You ought to think about the child's feelings.
The only family to Ga On is his mother.
Sir, if something's bothering you, you should take care of that first.
I'll take care of the shipping scandal.
Ga On.
Your mother talked to the police and went home.
There's nothing to worry about.
You left without saying anything,
so your father got worried.
So, if you want to see your mother,
tell me first, okay?
Thanks for the ride.
Kang Hera.
I heard from Mr. Gu...
About everything that happened between you and my sister.
If my sister really did anything wrong to you,
I apologize.
I'll make up for everything you've been through.
I don't want to getting involved with me and my sister's business.
It'll be hard, but with Ga On...
Did you forget everything I said before?
Ga On is my son.
I didn't raise him thinking he was somebody else's child.
I left him there because of one thing.
Perhaps he'd be happier there with his father.
If he's not happy there,
I have no reason to leave him there.
You said you'll make up for everything?
Then be on my side
and help me get Ga On back.
"Congratulations! FB Life Insurance 50th Anniversary"
I'm planning to introduce Ga On on the Company Foundation Day.
You said you'll make up for everything?
Then be on my side
and help me get Ga On back.
Yes.
I heard from Mr. Ahn's colleague it was Mr. Ahn that ordered
the shipping accident 11 years ago and the insurance scam against President Kim.
- Mr. Ahn is... - He works with Kim Tae On.
Okay. I'll call you later.
- Did you meet him? - Yes.
I recorded the meeting.
Someone from Seoul paid more money
and ordered a quick work on disassembling the ship.
Is Choi Do Yoon here?
Are you Choi Do Yoon?
Yes, I am.
What is this about?
Choi Do Yoon,
you spread false information that the KEY ferry accident was
caused by the owner of the shipping company's corruption.
You frequently visited Seomyeong Shipping Association
and forced the employee to tell you the truth, didn't you?
You are under arrest for
spreading false information and crime of business interference.
What do you mean...
Wait a minute.
Stop.
Who accused him?
The owner of Seomyeong Shipping Association filed charges.
President Kim.
Did everybody forget we have a meeting?
It's chaos in the news department.
They ordered changes in the department.
Jeong was assigned to deliberation room. Park was assigned to transmission room.
Department head was transferred to the sales department.
CEO ordered the changes?
The CEO's been to the President's office and it was chaos.
FB Group said if he doesn't handle newsroom,
they'll pull all the advertisements.
Okay. I need to be alone right now.
If they send away my people, we can't get President Kim.
My backup plan was to drag him down through TV.
Every article on social media and insurance scam are all gone.
I'll call you later.
I need time to think.
Your father's secretary asked for the guest list for the anniversary.
Let's go.
Where are we going?
To our company.
"Our company"?
You will be heir of FB Group.
What's good about being the heir?
A lot of people in a big building...
will be overpowered by anything you say.
What's good about overpowering people?
I want people to smile at me
and ask me to play with them.
All I want is for the person I like to listen to what I say.
I don't want that person to show tears.
You're young and don't know how the world works yet.
If you don't want the person you like to cry,
you need to have power, okay?
Unfasten your seatbelt.
Mom!
I'm here to take Ga On home.
Mr. Ko.
What is this in front of the child?
Don't intimidate him like this
and let him go now.
Moreover, he doesn't want this.
I guess you didn't understand what I said before.
I won't be so nice if you bother me again involving Ga On.
So, you'll call the police again?
You invited Kang Hera to the anniversary today?
Sort this out.
President Kim Sang Gu.
I'm Prosecutor Jang Seon-woo from the Central District Prosecutors' Office.
A petition has been filed regarding a shipping accident 11 years ago.
So, you will have to come with us.
11 years ago...
Another petition has been filed regarding embezzlement and forging documents
of Seomyeong Shipping Association.
I will testify against him as a witness.
Cha Min Joon...
That's why I have to take Ga On home with me.
Then you won't be attending the Company Foundation Day?
- Be gentle. - Yes, sir.
Let's go.
It was you who sent the documents to the prosecutor's office
regarding the shipping accident.
You can't drag your father with only that.
Politicians and officials who covered it up are still in the office.
Did you ask to see me to tell me that?
He's currently importing secondhand ships.
It's obvious the ships aren't as good as new.
I have the related false document.
Let's say his past sin that you turned over to the prosecutor's office
and his present sin are combined...
We can drag him down this time.
Why should I trust you?
You already stabbed me in the back once.
Then how about this?
I heard your father plans to introduce Ga On on the anniversary.
Then Ga On will be known as his son to the public.
I don't want that.
Ga On doesn't look happy with him.
I intend to get Ga On back.
You also don't want people to know...
Ga On is your father's son, do you?
Ga On, you should be with me now.
What do you mean?
Ga On is my family.
His sister should take care of him while our father's gone.
Ga On, you will come live with me, okay?
This place will be filled with people soon.
Should I tell them why we're here right now?
You didn't want people to know about Ga On.
You can't take away him again.
I will protect him.
Is this because your sister went missing from the ferry accident?
You might want to pray that my sister is alive somewhere.
I have to know.
How could you do this to me!
I'll get Kang Hera the way she got the others.
Where is Cha Ee Hyeon?
What more do I have to do to...
Kang Dae Sik is awake.
Kang Dae Sik, tell me where my sister is!
This is all my fault.
