Hello, Reporter Choi?
Chairman Jang, Mr. Yang Hee Chan woke up.
What?
"Yang Hee Chan woke up?"
For goodness' sake!
Darn it!
Why did Yang Hee Chan have to wake up?
Babe. If Mr. Yang has woken up,
won't he expose all the illegal activities you two did...
while working together?
Does that mean you'll go down completely?
I didn't break any laws doing business!
Yang Hee Chan did.
There's nothing I am ashamed of,
even before the deity!
Right, of course. You would never break the law.
There are only a few days before signing the Media Valley contract.
But Mom has disappeared and Yang Hee Chan has woken up.
Seriously, nothing is going according to plan.
Jang Gi Yun. Fall into the pit.
It's a relief you woke up.
What about Gi Yun?
Has he been punished?
I saw Tak Sung Gu.
Tak Sung Gu's car came driving towards me.
That should've been caught on the camera in my glasses.
The footage...
of Tak Sung Gu was handed over to the police as evidence.
But Jang Gi Yun claimed it was fake...
and requested an authenticity verification.
In the meantime, Tak Sung Gu ran away,
and the investigation was stopped.
Gi Yun skillfully got away with it once again.
That snake.
Even turning in evidence to the police is futile.
I don't know how to drive Gi Yun into the corner.
There's a safe, Woo Hyuk.
A safe where Gi Yun keeps all of his important things.
There's a secret safe in the president's office at Starcop.
"In the president's office at Starcop?"
Yes. The secret ledger in that safe will work as...
decisive evidence to put Gi Yun into jail.
Find the secret ledger in that safe.
I will go to the police...
and testify about Gi Yun's evil deeds until now.
With Jang Gi Yun's secret ledger in the safe...
and your testimony,
even the almighty Jang Gi Yun can't escape this time.
He'll get punished by the law.
That's right.
- What has happened? - We're the police.
- It's Yang Hee Chan! - Wait...
Honey!
So you really have gained consciousness, honey.
Thank you so much for waking up.
To still think a man like me is your husband.
And to thank me for waking up.
You sure are...
a fool, honey.
It's okay. I'm fine being a fool.
I'm fine with it since you've woken up.
Dad.
Bit Na. I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry.
Dad...
I have too many things to apologize for...
to you,
Bit Na, and Woo Hyuk.
For not living as a decent man,
I'm so sorry.
(Jung Capital)
Woo Hyuk, Mr. Yang woke up?
Father agreed to testify on his crimes...
as well as Gi Yun's crimes too.
Gi Yun will suffer severely...
once Mr. Yang testifies.
The problem is the evidence.
We can't destroy Gi Yun just by his testimony.
As you already know, Gi Yun always managed...
to escape the hands of the law even when we had hard evidence.
You're right.
We need hard evidence to make sure he doesn't escape.
Father mentioned a secret safe in the president's office at Starcop.
He said the ledger of Gi Yun's corruption should be there.
That'll be our solid evidence to destroy Gi Yun for good.
I'm sure the safe is in that office.
Those guards are keeping everyone out.
It's impossible to fight them and get to the safe.
We finally found out where the ledger is,
but we got no access.
Babe, what kind of nonsense will Yang Hee Chan blurt out...
and corner you this time? I got worried sick.
He can't make me flinch by a testimony without evidence.
He may not make you flinch, but people will get rowdy,
and you'll have a tough time...
getting questioned by the police.
Then, the final contract and the groundbreaking ceremony...
for the Media Valley may not happen.
The groundbreaking ceremony for the Media Valley will happen,
and that's final.
You should come up with a countermeasure.
Prosecutor Yoo will prepare the countermeasure.
Right, you had Prosecutor Yoo working for you.
Nothing can stop me.
If anything gets in my way,
I just have to get rid of it as I always have.
Honey, why did you circle around Gi Yun...
instead of turning yourself in right away?
If you had,
you wouldn't have been hospitalized after this accident.
Why did you do that?
I demanded money from Gi Yun.
There was an illegal political fund...
only Gi Yun and I knew about.
I demanded that from him.
You were a fugitive on the run.
Why did you need money?
Wait.
Were you going to flee overseas with that money?
No.
I wasn't going to run away.
I was going to get the money,
give it to you and Bit Na,
and turn myself in.
It was for me and Bit Na?
Once I go to prison,
who'll make a living for you two?
I've committed too many crimes, so who knows when I'll be released?
Honey, I understand...
how much you are concerned about us.
Once you go to prison,
we may not get to live a lavish lifestyle like before.
But we'll get by, right?
So please, don't worry about us.
To be honest,
I continued to stay around Gi Yun...
because of Woo Hyuk.
He was abandoned by me the moment he was born,
and he never grew up with a father to love him.
On top of that,
I went down lower and even hurt Jun Hee.
I committed such an atrocious sin,
something I should never do as a human.
And it was all...
for useless power and money.
Gi Yun kept putting Woo Hyuk in danger,
so I wanted to take charge and bring him down with me.
I wanted to keep Woo Hyuk safe from Gi Yun.
I never got to be a father to him,
so I wanted to do that one last time before I left this world.
I'm proud of you, honey.
You tried your best to repay him...
for the things you couldn't do for Woo Hyuk.
I'm sure he no longer hates and resents you.
Also, if there were more things you did wrong,
go to the police and spill out everything honestly.
And tell them all about what Gi Yun did too.
That's the only way...
Gi Yun will be punished by the law.
I should do that.
You'll have to come to the police station...
for questioning after a week of recovery period.
I don't need time to recover.
I'll go to the police station now...
and testify.
Please expose every crime Gi Yun committed right away.
- Honey. - Don't push yourself.
He's right, honey. Please stay on the bed.
I know you're in a rush, but please control yourself.
I have to go to the police station.
I have to do whatever it takes...
to stop the groundbreaking ceremony for the Media Valley.
Hee Chan woke up, Chang Sung.
You know what that means, right?
Hee Chan knows lots of shady things Gi Yun has done.
Once he speaks up,
that'll be the end of Gi Yun.
I can't let Gi Yun go to prison.
That just can't happen.
It must be heartbreaking and tormenting for you,
but he has to be punished.
Chang Sung, it's impossible...
to run from one's mistakes.
The only thing...
I hoped to do was stop him from going to prison.
This is why life is tough for parents.
You also feel like a sinner because of your child.
(Chairman Jang Gi Yun)
I must be thoroughly prepared now that Yang Hee Chan has woken up.
I need Sung Gu in times like these.
How am I going to reach out to him?
He'd reach out if he ran out of money.
(Incoming Call)
Sung Gu?
I need to see you, Sung Gu.
Yes, I'll see you there.
Things became complicated now that Yang Hee Chan woke up.
This wouldn't have happened if you had gotten rid of him back then.
Everything became a mess...
because of your mistake.
I'm sorry.
I know Yang Hee Chan will...
go to the police very soon and testify against me.
However,
he was a murderer who tried to kill his own child.
I can play the public sentiment and make his words untrustworthy,
so there won't be a problem there.
But here's the problem.
Jung Woo Hyuk and Seo Hee Jae.
They will go raging mad trying to come after my life.
Get rid of Jung Woo Hyuk and Seo Hee Jae.
Chairman Jang, I am a fugitive who's wanted by the police.
How can I do that to them in this situation?
If I got caught doing this, I'd rot in prison until I died.
I'll take care of everything.
If you get incarcerated, I'll somehow reduce your sentence...
and pull you out no matter what.
So, just do as I say.
Hey, Sung Gu.
Do you dare to defy my command?
I turned you into a proper being and a bodyguard company president...
from a thug...
fighting in the suburb backstreet.
But you're disobeying me now?
My apologies.
You little...
Sung Gu. Good grief.
You are...
the only one I can trust.
That is the very reason I'm keeping you beside me.
Jung Woo Hyuk and Seo Hee Jae.
Get rid of them, and I'll help you flee abroad.
All right. Understood.
Get going now.
Tak Sung Gu.
I better get rid of you after this business.
You make many mistakes in every one of my orders.
But above all,
you know too many of my corruptions.
I have arrived earlier than our scheduled meeting.
Yes, you have. Take a seat.
Who was the man that just left?
You mean Sung Gu?
He's the hunting dog I train.
"Hunting dog?"
An extremely obedient hunting dog that does everything I,
his master, commands.
I see.
But over the years, this hunting dog of mine has become rude...
and started to defy me.
He has become useless as a hunting dog.
I no longer want to feed him.
And what will you do with that useless hunting dog?
I will throw it away without mercy.
I can easily find a new useful hunting dog.
I see.
Yang Hee Chan will soon go to the police station...
and give a testimony.
The aftermath will be unimaginable.
In preparation for when Yang Hee Chan wakes up,
I've been collecting evidence of him...
receiving illegal political funds.
If we exaggerate Yang Hee Chan's illegal political funds...
and expose them,
Yang Hee Chan's testimony against you...
won't affect you as much.
The moment the prosecution announces corruption evidence...
of Yang Hee Chan's illegal political funds,
I will use the media...
to ostracize Yang Hee Chan completely.
There was a tipoff that he was involved in the politician's...
wine and dine scandal with Choi Eun Ha,
the actress who died ten years ago.
Choi Eun Ha was Chairman Jang's WJ Entertainment actress.
But you weren't related to it, right?
If you weren't,
I plan to dig into the politician's wine and dine scandal...
entwined with Choi Eun Ha's death.
I was in no way related to such a dirty scandal.
Go ahead and dig into the wine and dine scandal...
to bring Yang Hee Chan down.
But what bugs me is the fact that Choi Eun Ha...
was our agency's actress.
Right. I get what you mean.
With the groundbreaking ceremony of the Media Valley in a few days,
bringing up WJ Entertainment to bring down Yang Hee Chan...
won't do any good.
Come in.
Oh, Na Hee?
(Jung Capital)
Are you here to see Woo Hyuk?
I didn't come here for Woo Hyuk.
Then did you come here to borrow money?
No way!
Then why are you here?
You slow-witted bear. I'm here to see you!
I stopped by on my way.
Have some coffee.
Thank you.
Don't just drink the coffee.
Please read what's written on the cup!
It says, "Will you go out with me?"
Isn't there something written on the cup?
"Will you go out with me?"
This is a great idea.
Who would've thought of selling coffee in a cup with a phrase on it?
I should buy my coffee from here.
Where's this shop?
I won't tell you!
What's wrong with her?
(Ilsong Mental Hospital)
Here's the next news.
With only a week left before the formal agreement...
and groundbreaking ceremony...
- of VK Casino Media Valley... - It's time for bed.
- Let's go. - carried out by WJ Entertainment,
WJ Entertainment's stock price has surged.
Regarding WJ Entertainment's stock price increase...
- My son. - and strengthening its aspects...
- I'm proud of you, Gi Yun. - as a global company...
- due to its contract result... - I don't care...
- and ceremony, - what happens to me...
- as long as you succeed. - Chairman Jang Gi Yun stated...
- he would take responsibility... - Ms. Hong.
- and proceed with the project... - It's time for bed.
- But my son is on the news! - to live up to the expectations.
- It's still time to sleep. - Thank you...
Hey! Do you even know who I am?
I'm WJ Entertainment's Jang Gi Yun's mother!
Know who you are acting up to!
- Even so, go to bed. - I won't.
I won't go to bed! I refuse to sleep!
- It's time for bed! - Let go!
Mistreat me, and you'll get into trouble!
I'll tell my dear Gi Yun to kill you all! Let go of me!
(Jung Capital)
I found a way to get the ledger without robbing the safe ourselves.
And what's that?
Jang Gi Yun's mother.
"Mother?"
Isn't she currently locked up in a mental hospital?
We'll use that.
(VK World Media Art Valley Groundbreaking Ceremony Reference)
Okay.
(Chairman Jang Gi Yun)
Seo Hee Jae, Jung Woo Hyuk.
Did you come as a set today to make me lose my temper?
Jang Gi Yun.
You heard that my father woke up through the news, yes?
So what?
Father will expose all of your corruption at the police station.
Jung Woo Hyuk. Your father is a shameless fellow...
who tried to kill you, his son.
So, who will believe his words?
Jang Gi Yun. My father knew quite a lot about you.
From embezzlement, and illegal funds, to tax evasion.
Goodness, you should've known the limit.
- Do you have evidence? - "Evidence?"
Isn't it inside your safe?
There can't be any proof when I'm innocent.
Stop spouting nonsense, and leave.
I have your mom.
And?
If you want Mother back alive, give us evidence of corruption.
Are you saying you will harm my mom?
I have no reason not to.
Don't lay even a finger on her.
That depends on you, Jang Gi Yun.
Seo Hee Jae.
Are you mad?
How dare you blackmail me with my mom's life?
Do you expect me to overlook it?
I wonder what decision you'll make.
Will you save Mother...
or give us the corruption ledger?
We can't give you much time.
Call us before midnight.
If you don't contact us within the day,
your mother will no longer exist in this world.
Keep that in mind.
I don't care if you kill my mom or not.
Really?
Got it.
You'll have to hold your mother's funeral...
before the Media Valley's groundbreaking ceremony.
Darn it! Those lunatics!
Hee Jae, Woo Hyuk,
I'll kill...
you both.
Will he give us the corruption ledger?
With how coldhearted he is,
he might throw away his mother to survive.
Let's wait for his call.
Hee Jae and Woo Hyuk must have gone insane.
How can they blackmail you with a person's life?
Honey, I don't know what Hee Jae and Woo Hyuk want...
but don't give it to them.
It must be torturing you.
I mean, Mother loved you dearly.
She always had her mind on you...
and bet everything on you.
She even abandoned Father for you.
I can't believe you'll have to forsake her.
But what choice do you have?
You have to save yourself first.
Babe.
Mother would even lay her life down for you,
so she probably wouldn't blame you even if you abandoned her.
Will you shut up?
I will.
Gi Yun, did you feel tortured?
It's exhilarating to see you in trouble.
Gi Yun. Putting it like that hurts me.
When you declared your dad dead when he was alive,
I didn't say anything and did as you wished.
It was what you had to do to survive.
I gave my all to you.
And you know that, don't you?
Gi Yun.
In this world, the only one I can put my faith in...
is you.
I'm sure it's the same for you.
Even if everyone points their fingers at you,
I will do anything for you.
Keep that in mind.
I can't do this.
I just can't betray her.
You're going to save her?
I'll do that.
(Jung Capital)
It's almost midnight, but Gi Yun hasn't called.
I guess he won't give up the ledger.
We have no choice but to find another way.
It's Gi Yun.
Gi Yun, have you made your decision?
I'll give you what you want.
Come to the Starcop office.
Jaclyn.
The moment I open the safe,
go to the place Hee Jae shares and save my mom.
Okay.
Gi Yun, even if you gave the ledger to Hee Jae,
I wouldn't go and save her.
Jaclyn, wait here,
then find my mom right away when I call you.
I'll do that.
Tell me where my mom is.
Open the safe first.
(Starcop Security Service)
What happened here?
(The Elegant Empire)
We need to find Tak Sung Gu.
That's the only way we can destroy Gi Yun.
It's me, Tak Sung Gu.
I'll give you Jang Gi Yun's secret ledger.
Hee Jae, it's finally time to put an end to Gi Yun.
Someone emptied out the safe...
Gi Yun deems more important than his life?
Something doesn't seem right.
Thank you. We can finally end our revenge against Gi Yun.
