[exhales heavily]

What are you doing over there?

-[Ildo] Father?
-Shh!

You'll wake Secretary Gong up.

Shush!

[Gangcheon gasps]

You could've just rung the bell
if you needed anything.

[Gangcheon exhales heavily]

[Gangcheon grunts]

-[Gangcheon grunts]
-Chairman, you shouldn't be drinking.

[Gangcheon grunts, sighs]

Sitting here late at night,
slumped over like that…

Just go to bed. [tuts]

Jeez.

Why is the chairman upset?

[Jeongja] He's not angry.

If you're staying,
I'll leave the lights on.

President Huh.

[♪ suspenseful music playing]

Taking a bath right after eating ramyeon

isn't good for your health, Chairman.

[Gangcheon] I won't take long.

Reading Myeangsim Bogam
will make me sleepy.

What's got you so deep in thought?

I'm just wondering if I should clear out

all those whiskey bottles.

[hesitates] Mr. Yeom

has his eyes on Daesan Energy.

[Gangcheon] It's 59.

We have sold off 59 subsidiaries
on Yeom's word,

and now we're down to 37.

That leech has taken so much,
yet he's still chasing money.

Thanks to Mr. Yeom,

we have seamlessly acquired
blue-chip companies.

Daesan's profited a lot from that.

Remember 30 years ago?

When the government privatized
the telecommunications sector.

If we had built Daesan Telecom back then,

we wouldn't still be tied
to that b*stard Yeom.

He promised me the telecom,
but he failed after exhausting my money.

[Gangcheon sighs]

I need to open the liquor safe,

but I can't reach Dongju.

I forgot the code for the liquor safe.

Then I'd have to rack my brain
for a while to recall it.

But I got lazy, sneaked some whiskey,

and ended up getting caught
by Secretary Gong.

[chuckling]

Yeom squeezed what he could
out of the energy deal.

Now he's looking for another money hole.

For now,
let's shove some cash down his throat.

We'll handle it

step by step.

Since Dongju isn't here…

[sighs]

you get the money from my private safe

and throw some at Yeom right now.

Yes, Father.

[♪ mysterious music playing]

Here.

INNER SAFE

Take a photo.

-Sorry?
-Hurry and take a photo.

It's impossible to memorize 16 digits.

Oh, yes.

Seo Dongju!

Seo Dongju!

[chuckles softly]

[housemaid] Hyungrae.

Come this way.

[sighs]

[♪ music fades]

[Deokhui] When did you get back?

Just a while ago.

Can you get me a suit?

You look like you haven't slept a wink.

I need to see Father early before work.

[Deokhui] As if Ji Seonu wasn't
enough of a headache,

Yeom Jangseon caught Eunnam
trying to go on a trip with Dongju.

We have to…

kick Seo Dongju out.

If he approaches Seonu again,
it'll be trouble.

We can't k*ll him,
so we have to find another way…

[♪ tense music playing]

Give him a severance package,
a settlement, whatever it takes.

Please…

Just get Seo Dongju out of Daesan.

If not,

Ji Seonu will join the family,

and Taeyun will be devoured by him, honey.

Okay?

Seo Dongju…

won't be able to do that.

Never.

[combination dial clicking]

[bottles clink]

You remembered the liquor safe's code…

I racked my brain pretty hard.

[Gangcheon chuckles]

[Gangcheon exhales contentedly]

Was Yeom happy to get the money?

I couldn't give him any.

-What?
-The code you gave me didn't work.

What?

Oh, that's right!

I forgot that I changed it.

[Gangcheon chuckling]

I noted down the new code somewhere safe.

I'll find it for you.
You should head to work first.

Yes, I'll see you later then.

[sighs]

[♪ suspenseful music playing]

[gasps]

[♪ music fades]

I have to hide it in plain sight
to keep it safe.

[chuckles softly]

[pens clatter]

[♪ ominous music playing]

-[phone vibrates]
-[♪ music fades]

[Ildo] Yes, Father.

[Gangcheon] I'll give you the money
once Dongju's back from vacation.

If we keep handing it over
every time he asks,

Yeom will only get greedier.

You should try to hold him off.

That takes skill too.

[line disconnects]

[exhales in satisfaction]

[fisherman] I'm sorry.

I have my reasons,

and I need to stay off the cops' radar
for the time being.

That's why I couldn't
take you to the hospital.

Thank you for staying alive.

I owe you one.

If you had died,
I wouldn't have been able to report it.

I would have had to just dump your body.

I'm Bae Wonbae.

Damn it.

Well, that's my real name.
Around here, I'm Jang Ilnam.

They just call me "Beardy Jang."

Right…

My name is Seong Hyeon.

And your last name?

I see. So "Seong" is your last name
and "Hyeon" is your first.

Just one syllable.

Hyeon, you basically
came back from the dead.

But…

how did you end up getting shot?

Bang, bang! You took two b*ll*ts.

You got shot!

That's why I couldn't
take you to a hospital.

Doctors report g*nsh*t wounds
to the police.

I was actually in a car crash.

[♪ suspenseful music playing]

These b*ll*ts…

One came out of here

and the other from here.

Getting shot in South Korea
out of all places?

That's not normal. Definitely not, but…

I'm telling you,
these b*ll*ts are really from your body.

Somebody shot you to take you out.

Then, you tried to get away in your car.

But they chased you down and sent you

flying off a cliff.

But I don't remember getting shot.

[Wonbae] It was over here.

[sighs]

[Dongju] Hey!

I dived to catch some octopus

and came up for air like this.

And that's when I saw you
floating on a wooden plank.

Over there. You must've drifted in
from somewhere out there.

[♪ music ends]

[Wonbae grunts] Is there anything
you'd like for dinner?

[Dongju] I'm good.

You're good? By the way,
your recovery is something else.

It's raining.

-Will you be able to run?
-Yes.

Follow me.

HOUSE OF OVERFLOW

HOUSE OF OVERFLOW

[♪ music fades]

Honey, take your head tie off
before you go.

I need to keep it on so people know
I'm dealing with a headache

and that I'm not in a good mood.

This is cash from the inner safe, sir.

[sighs]

It's frustrating to see you,
someone I care about,

lugging around
something as tacky as that fruit box.

The cash in Chairman Cha's safe
isn't Korean won,

it's US dollars.

The same dollars that
the dead Seo Dongju used to toss around

in a tiny dress shirt box
like it was nothing.

You didn't know?

When are you going to truly be
part of Daesan's inner circle?

We've got a company to run
and a country to take care of,

yet here we are, stuck in this mess.

If Chairman Cha refuses
to hand over the safe code,

you should have the guts
to blow the damn thing open.

It pains me to watch you
scrounging for funds elsewhere like this.

Running this National Patriotism Fund
shouldn't be this messy.

[tuts] Gosh.

Damn it.

Looks like the chairman forgot who I am.

Maybe I should turn Daesan upside down
to remind him.

[chuckles]

Hyeon, come over here.

It's a women's bracelet.

This one's a men's watch.

You were wearing it.

Do you see that tattoo?

At the vine's tip,

there are initials, Y. E. N.

Do those initials remind you of anything?

[sighs]

Oh, right. Look at this.

You were probably…

on your way to your wedding
when it happened.

This looks just like a groom's suit.

Look.

You can see the holes here.

Oh, right. Your phone.

This was in your pocket.

I took it apart to dry out the saltwater.

Not sure if it'll work, though.

Here.

If you turn this on,

you might connect
with the ones who tried to k*ll you.

Think it through.

It's working!

[knock on door]

[Deokhui] Eunnam.

[door opens]

Huicheol, what are you doing here?

Your grandfather told him to come.

Talk to her
and take her home with you after dinner.

Okay.

[door opens]

-[door closes]
-Hey…

[Eunnam] Mom.

[sighs]

Mom.

-You can't so suddenly--
-Father wants you

to give up your shares
if you don't return.

[scoffs]

[sighs]

[phone vibrating]

[line ringing]

[Dongju sighs]

[phone vibrating]

[line rings, connects]

Hello?

Hello?

I'm Seong Hyeon.

May I ask who I'm speaking to?

[Huicheol] You crazy punk, seriously.

Unbelievable.

Do you want to die, you punk?

Who do you think you're calling?

Who the hell are you?
Why are you swearing at me out of nowhere?

I can say whatever the hell I want.

What's it to you, you thug?

Hey, who are you?

I'm your god, loser.

-You son of a…
-[phone hisses]

-[line disconnects]
-[Wonbae] What?

Damn, it's broken.

What do we do now?
I worked so hard to fix this.

Asking me to give back my shares is just…

It's cheap.

Eunnam.

Every business has its cheap side.

The moment you feel ashamed of it,
you've already lost.

You just have to admit

that your marriage was
a business deal between you and me.

No need to overthink it.
It's just business.

Do you understand?

If you give up the shares,

it'll prove to me
that you truly want a divorce.

I'll be understanding.

I'm your granddaughter.

I have the same inheritance rights
as everyone else.

You want both my Daesan shares

and Seo Dongju?

That's not how this works.

The only way you can keep those shares

is if you stay
as Yeom Jangseon's niece-in-law.

[Huicheol] Where's my mother-in-law?

In the main living room.

Can I get some ice water?

I'll take Eunnam home
after seeing the chairman.

Not staying for dinner?

This is the phone

Eunnam used to call Seo Dongju.

I'll leave it to you.

I got a call from that crazy b*stard…

I mean, Seo Dongju.

[♪ somber music playing]

When I answered,

he panicked and lied,
saying that his name was Seong Hyeon.

I told him that if he was Seong Hyeon,
then I was his god.

We cursed each other out for a while.

Do you still want to take Eunnam with you
even after that call?

Yes.

[door opens]

[Gangcheon] Mmm.

Eunnam is going back home.

As she should.

[Gangcheon] Explain to them well.

[Huicheol] Yes, sir.

[Gangcheon] It's your birthday
in two months, right?

[Huicheol chuckles awkwardly]

[Gangcheon] I'll throw a grand feast
for your first birthday as a newlywed.

-[Huicheol chuckles awkwardly]
-Be sure to come.

[Huicheol] Yes, thank you.

Were you waiting for me?

Yes, sir.

Sir…

Yes?

I went to the secretary's office
about document revisions

and overheard them

talking to the Coast Guard
about Director Seo.

The Coast Guard?

Yes.

[♪ gripping music playing]

CARAMBOLA INTERNET CAFE

"South Coast car accident."

Hmm.

"Eight-car pileup, three dead."

I don't think that's it.

"Traveled to the South Coast by car."

"Two dead, one seriously injured."

"Men in their 70s and 80s."

None of the accidents in these articles

seem connected to you.

"Missing, Seong Hyeon."

Let's see.

The location.

"Seonghyeon-ro, Sandong-gu,
Ilsan-gu, Goyang City."

"A parrot"?

"Unknown gender, a year old." Not this.

-Four? Three?
-[knock on door]

[door opens]

I'm back.

[Gangcheon] Yes.

Father…

The Coast Guard contacted us.

It seems that Director Seo rented a yacht.

He said his dream was
to sail far out to sea on a yacht.

He finally did it.

But the yacht missed
its scheduled return date,

so the police inspected it.

But Director Seo wasn't on board
and they couldn't reach him,

so they contacted the company.

Then should we file
a missing person report?

Well, I don't think that's necessary yet.

[Gangcheon] Find him as soon as possible.

Get him back to work.

It's so frustrating and inconvenient
without him here.

[Gangcheon sighs]

Not a single article links to you.

Then you must be regarded
as a dangerous man

to get shot like that in South Korea.

Are you an undercover NIS agent?

Or a crime boss?

International mafia?

[sighs]

Anyway, are you really
not going to call the cops?

I feel like you're not calling them
because of me.

Something tells me I shouldn't

tell the police about this.

For no clear reason.
It's just a gut feeling.

[phone vibrating]

Hang on, I got a call.

Oh, it's Changgyu.

Yes. What?

Wow, did you fix it already?

You're a total MacGyver.

Okay, I'll be there.

Your phone is fixed.
Let's hurry and check it out.

[♪ thrilling music playing]

CELL PHONE REPAIR

Here.

-Who is he?
-My younger brother.

Does that make him Jang Number Two?

[scoffs] We could pass for twins,
don't you think?

It's working!

It's barely holding up.

If it breaks again, just toss it.

-Wow, thank you so much.
-Sure.

I owe you one. I'll get going.

-[Changgyu] Okay, get home safe.
-Yes, see you.

Hyeon, he fixed it.

[♪ music ends]

Call Seo Dongju and set him straight.

This is the phone he used
to talk to Eunnam.

Call him now.

Or I won't be able to sleep.

Is that what Eunnam told you?
That she talked to him with this phone?

Earlier today,

Prosecutor Yeom answered,
and it was Seo Dongju.

No way. It must be someone else.

They've known each other
since high school.

He recognized the voice instantly.

Seo Dongju realized

it was Prosecutor Yeom
and tried to play it off with a fake name.

[♪ suspenseful music playing]

[♪ music swells, fades]

[phone vibrating]

[Wonbae] What?

RECORD

[Dongju] Hello?

Hello?

[♪ tense music playing]

Hey, if you called,
say something, b*stard.

You shot me, didn't you?

You're the one who shot me.

It's really you, you m*rder*r.

No matter how many times you try,
I'm not going down, you psycho.

[Ildo] You're alive,

Seo Dongju.

[Dongju] Just wait.

I'm coming to k*ll you, you b*stard.

[♪ music fades]

[♪ dramatic music playing]

[♪ music fades]

[Wonbae] What?

They just hung up without a word?

Wow…

You scared the hell out of me.

"Just wait."

"I'm coming to k*ll you, you b*stard."

Wow!

That was badass.

It sure was, but…

It's also reckless.

I have to try something
to get my memory back.

Fair enough…

But your call history says

this is the only number you called
before you lost your memory.

I doubt they called
to admit they're the k*ller.

The guy who called

must have betrayed you.

Backstabbing! Betrayal!

They thought I was dead.

Now that I'm back,

they must be terrified.

Well, terrified? I don't think so…

He might come back
to finish the job, you know.

Let me try.

Who knows?

Maybe he'll respond differently to me.

[Wonbae clears throat]

[phone hisses]

What's wrong?

It was working!
I didn't do anything to it.

It was working…

I didn't touch anything.

Give it to me. What's wrong with it?

You're making it worse!

Seriously, I didn't do anything.

That's funny. The timing is unreal…

[Jangseon laughs]

That b*stard Dongju,
he's not what he seems.

Actually,

I knew he was tenacious to the core.

But does that mean he was lucky?

No, it's not his luck.

Heaven took pity on me

and had the sea spit Seo Dongju back out.

It's all thanks to me.

He survived because of my luck.

I, Yeom Jangseon, am living proof

that heaven loves this country.

[laughs]

You're sure of it, right?

Yes.

Seo Dongju is alive, sir.

Let's see…

Track the call location right away

and take President Huh with you.

Knock Seo Dongju out and bring him in.

Get the tranquilizer g*n ready.

-And get the guys ready.
-Yes, sir.

Lock Seo Dongju in a room with the guys,

and in half a day,
no, actually, in 30 minutes,

he'll spill the Swiss account password.

Once I get the password,

I'll take care of getting rid of him.

You just need to bring him in.

[Guho] Sir,

if he's alive,

why hasn't he gone to the police?

Because of the money.

If he goes to the cops,
the Swiss account gets exposed.

[♪ tense music playing]

That ruthless b*stard…

What kind of scheme is he plotting now?

[Wonbae] This is the closest cliff
to the coastal road.

If they pushed your car into the sea,

this is where it would've happened.

If a car went over the edge,

there should be
some marks left on the cliff.

But it's clean.

What a nice yacht.

I never thought I'd end up
living in a shack by the sea,

but while doing so,

I've learned a thing or two
about the tides.

If the car fell off anywhere else,

there's no way you could've drifted

all the way to the rocks
where I found you.

ADMINISTRATOR

It's so hot.
Looks like you're in for a tough time.

You hadn't been in touch,
so I wondered if you'd forgotten, sir.

[Jangseon] What do you mean?

How could I forget? I'd be damned.

I've been happy

that you've kept all my properties
leased out without vacancies.

[man] When will the package arrive?

[banging on door]

AUTHORIZED PERSONNEL ONLY

[door lock clicks]

[Jangseon] Everything is set on our end.
We're just waiting for the package.

Bring me good news.

Yes, sir.

There's no sign
that Seo Dongju was back on this yacht.

[Jangseon] g*ns are terrifying.

He's too scared to go back,
fearing for his life.

Have you seen this man before?

[receptionist] No.

[Jangseon] Guho will find him.

Oh, right.

If you do run into Seo Dongju,
make sure you play nice.

Tell him you're sorry

and trying to k*ll him
is your biggest regret.

That you regret sh**ting him.

While you keep him busy by talking to him,

Guho will knock him out.

[♪ ominous music playing]

were in the middle seat earlier.

Yes, sir. I'll keep that in mind.

Bring back Seo Dongju quickly.

He didn't move into the city
after calling Prosecutor Yeom.

My assumption was wrong.

He's still at the same coastline--

Search thoroughly,

-Who?

I'm here to escort you, Director Seo.

I'm sorry. We couldn't find him yet.

[man] Boss.

[♪ tense music playing]

What's certain is that

this bearded Jang guy
treated Seo Dongju and helped him.

He must have gone into deep hiding
since Huh Ildo found out.

At dawn, we'll need to increase manpower
and track him down, Guho.

Yes, sir. I'll keep that in mind.

[door bangs]

Just trust me, okay?

[♪ music fades]

[line ringing]

[Eunnam] Yes.

Any calls…

from Seo Dongju?

No.

Dongju wouldn't call me.

Yes.

Okay, I'll tell him to call you
if he calls me.

Was that your father?

Yes.

I hope that b*stard Dongju
never comes back.

Or, better yet, drops dead somewhere.

That way, you will finally let go of him
and only look at me.

What I miss about Seo Dongju

is the man he was.

Not a husband.

[♪ dramatic song playing]

Looks good on you.

Don't forget
we're picking up your suit later.

[♪ song fades]

Yes, it's our product.

I'll check with the master tailor
and get back to you.

[manager] He's coming.

Sorry, I'm a bit late.

[exhales heavily]

[manager] Go ahead and start.

Do I pick one from here?

They're all gifts from Mom.

Exchange what you don't like.

[shop clerk] Yes. S, E, O.

It says "Seo."

Yes. The initials are D. J.

Yes, I understand.

I'm sorry,

but we can't disclose any information
about the customer who purchased this.

Leave your name and number,

and our manager will reach out tomorrow.

[Jangseon] Dongju, come on in.

I wouldn't be this happy
even if a dead son came back to life.

[Eunnam] You couldn't come back
because you lost your memory?

Are we having an affair?

I'm doing this because I really need
what's in Seo Dongju's head.

[Ildo] His past memories are gone, sir.

[Dongju] Did the president
sh**t me to k*ll me?

[Jangseon] If this isn't an act,

then I'll smash that amnesiac brain
of yours with a hammer if I have to

to get my Swiss account back.
