PANDORA: BENEATH THE PARADISE

[Seondeok] The night of Hong Yura's death,

what were you doing at the dock
near the lake, Mr. Pyo,

wearing a black raincoat?

Looks like you're willing to talk,
judging by the look on your face.

Hatch is currently worth
over 20 trillion won.

Why don't you hand Hatch over to me?

Hand Hatch over…

to you?

You'll need to set up
a blind trust for your stocks

before you enter the Blue House anyway.

What if I were the independent trustee?

A presidential term is fleeting, you know.

I'll return half of it to you
upon your return to civilian life.

How does that sound?

You were painting a bigger picture
than I'd assumed.

[Seondeok laughs]

Well, I'll admit,
you're a masterful artist yourself.

Greasing Uhm's fist to get him to make it
seem like Chairman Jang is behind it all.

Now that's a masterpiece.

Clearly, you're no ordinary man.

You almost had me fooled, sir.

I'm afraid I don't know what you mean.

I suppose you leave me no choice
but to speak about your wife.

Hong Taera.

I personally prefer calling her No. 50.

No. 50 is the assassin that Ko Haesoo
is madly intent on finding, no?

And the man who turned No. 50
into Hong Taera was you, yes?

I gather you got rid of Hong Yura
because she found out the truth.

At last, the puzzle has been solved.

I suppose this very meeting we're having

was probably a part of the plan,
wasn't it?

Is Taera aware
of the things you're saying to me?

Why would I run my mouth
without my partner's consent?

[sighs]

Whatever you're planning,
I want to be a part of it,

as an official partner of yours.

Pinning everything on Chairman Jang
to take over Kumjo,

becoming the president
to take over this country,

I'm all for it.

[Seondeok laughs]

But, first,
why don't you give Mr. Jo back to me?

You wasted your time with a stray
because I'd let my boy loose.

I'll make sure this never happens again.

Your turn to show your cards.

Who did you plant to keep tabs on me?

Who's the brave soul
who dared to tread on my turf…

and take these photos of me?

[No. 105 screams]

It's time you give up on Haesoo.

Over my dead body.

[No. 105 grunting]

[No. 50 gasps]

It was you?

[No. 105 breathes shakily]

[No. 50] Thank you

for surviving.

[Seondeok]
Remember, you can't k*ll No. 50 yet.

[No. 50 gasps]

Mr. Park?

[Haesoo screams]

She must be here. Search thoroughly!

[bodyguards] Yes, sir!

[footsteps]

[Dojin] Haesoo! Ko Haesoo!

Haesoo!

- Ko Haesoo!
- [Haesoo] Dojin, over here!

We need to get him to a hospital.

HANWOOL MENTAL HOSPITAL

[Seondeok humming]

[Seondeok grunts]

Why didn't you tell me Hajun was alive?

You wanted to see how long
it would take me to recognize him?

Were you amused?

Mother Director, are you okay?

Mother Director?

No. 105 was only supposed to scare you,
but it seems he slipped up this time.

Of course.

His heartless sister
abandoned him as a child.

No wonder he lost his temper.

[Seondeok] Tsk, tsk, tsk.

Bring her in.

[door opens, closes]

It is done.

Leave us.

She tried to k*ll you, Mother.

Why should I worry when I have you?
I'll be fine.

[door opens, closes]

You shouldn't resent me.

The accident had crushed his leg,

but I was the one who treated him
and took him under my wing.

The least you can do is thank me.

You tried to get him k*lled.

Mr. Jo ran him over with the car, not me.

But he lost one of his eyes
because of you.

Doesn't that make us even?

Whoa, whoa.

No need to sharpen the blade.

I have no intention
of revealing your true identity.

We're in the same boat now.

I'd love for you to become the first lady.

I sincerely do.

Drop the bullshit.

Don't you want to protect your brother?

If the truth of that day 15 years ago
comes out,

you must know your brother
will be in grave danger.

[Seondeok sighs]

We'd be remiss if you stay out too late.

We must be precious
about our future first lady.

[Seondeok] No. 105.

Yes, Mother Director.

[Seondeok] Think carefully

about how to best protect No. 105.

Take Ms. Hong home.

- Safely.
- Yes, ma'am.

[Seondeok] If the truth of that day
15 years ago comes out,

you must know your brother
will be in grave danger.


[siren wailing]

I saw

Taera back there.

Why would she be there?

If Director Kim did this to Mr. Park

and Taera was there,

it may prove you right.

Whatever the case,

I think Taera is somehow associated
with your father's assassination.

[Haesoo sighs]

Sorry, honey.

I'm so sorry.

[No. 105] Have a good night, ma'am.

Hey…

I've nothing to say.
Neither should you, ma'am.

[No. 50] Hajun.

I'm sorry, I…

I really thought you were dead.

After you fell off my bike,

I fell off the cliff.
Then I lost my memory.

Had I known you were at Hanwool,
I would've gotten you out of there.

I never would've left you with her.

You have to cut ties with her.
You know what she's like.

You need to leave her now.
I'll find a safe place...

Talk about Mother Director like that
one more time,

believe me,

I will k*ll you.

[crying]

[No. 50] Let's get acquainted slowly.

Pilseung.

No. You shouldn't drive in that state.

I told you to watch Jiu constantly.

If anything happens to her…

[tires squeal]

[No. 50]
You must have resented me so much,

waiting for me at that hellish place.

You must have wanted to k*ll me every day.

Hajun,

I'm so sorry.

I... I really didn't know.

No!

Sis!

Where's my sister? Hagyeong!

Where is my sister?

How many times do I have to tell you
she's gone?

Still can't forget your shitty sister?

She told me we would live together.

She said she'd never leave me again!

It's been months since you had surgery,

and your sister never once showed up!

No! She's coming. She's coming for me...

Wrong. She's never coming back.

The only person you have left to trust…

is me.

Mother Director is all you have now,
No. 105.

Your Mother Director.

No. 105…

I'm all you have.

[pills rattle]

[sighs]

[Jaehyun]
Who did you plant to keep tabs on me?

Who's the brave soul
who dared to tread on my turf…

and take these photos of me?

I get my answer
before you get yours, Mr. Pyo!

Something wrong?

No, it's nothing.

Were you crying?

Don't be silly.

I couldn't reach you earlier.

Where'd you go? I was worried.

I went out for some air.

I have security anyway.

I'll go check on Jiu.

Don't fret over Haesoo.

You don't have to be apologetic
to Dojin either.

Right, now let's think about us.

"Us"?

You, me, and Jiu.

The most precious people in my life.

My family is all I need.

Don't you feel the same?

Haesoo and Dojin
are important people in our lives too.

Not anymore.

By the way, we found office space
for the campaign team.

I know it hasn't been easy.

And there seems to be a problem
with the town house security.

I might replace all staff
and security personnel.

Even Pilseung?

Mmm.

Can we keep him around?

Jiu gets along with him well,
and I feel comfortable with him too.

I don't want to have
to get used to someone new.

If you have a problem with him,

I'd prefer if we don't replace him.

[chuckles]

If that's what you want.

Thank you.

Is Director Koo still in there?

He pulled an all-nighter.

[Yang] Director Koo.

What? What's going on?

Have you begun a new research project?
Anything I can help with?

Nope. Don't worry about that.

Right. Beware that the special research
lab is off-limits for the time being.

If you dare go in,

you're dead.

- Yes, sir.
- [scientist] Understood.

Going somewhere?

Thought I'd take some food to Sungchan.

He's been looking out of sorts
after Yura's incident.

I should've checked up on him.
Thank you, honey.

- You're coming to the office opening?
- We'll see.

- Be sure to pack everything.
- [assistant] Yes, sir.

[cell phone vibrates]

Yeah, it's me.

Director Koo banned us
from entering the special lab,

so I can't confirm the subject's status.
Apologies, sir.

Do anything you can to find out

if the smart patch works on humans
and if the Neural Input Program succeeded.

Find out, no matter what, okay?

[Jaehyun] If Kyojin is awake,

that can only mean
Sungchan has the flash drive.


[No. 50] Is Kyojin awake?

He's conscious now,
but communicating is another issue.

The input process might take longer,
since he's been comatose for so long.

Does Jaehyun know?

No, but he'll probably
do anything to find out.

Are you sure Jaehyun had a hand
in Kyojin's accident?

Only Kyojin will know for sure.

If Jaehyun was behind the accident,
why would he want Kyojin to wake up?

It would do him no good.

I can't figure that out either.

When will you tell Dojin?

Make one careless move,
and Jaehyun will suspect me.

For now, we'll have to wait
until the Neural Input Program is done.

Sungchan,

I need your help.

KOREA FOR THE WORLD TO SEE
WE STAND WITH PYO JAEHYUN

[Jaehyun] This is only the beginning.

The election cycle starts tomorrow,

so let's prove our potential.

"Korea for the world to see.
We stand with Pyo Jaehyun."

[all] Korea for the world to see.
We stand with Pyo Jaehyun!

[applause]

[No. 50] Congratulations.

Honey.

Welcome, Ms. Hong. Oh, thank you.

You all must be exhausted.

- Help him as much as you can.
- Of course.

Also, this isn't much,
but take the staff out for a nice meal.

We appreciate it. Thank you!

Yay!

Well, that uplifted the mood.

Let me know if you need anything.

I will. Thank you, Taera.

Pardon me, sir.
You must leave now for the luncheon.

Go ahead, honey.

Is it okay if I look around a little?

Well, of course. Look around all you want.

- Shall we go?
- Yes, sir. This way.

PYO JAEHYUN WILL DO IT!
INDEPENDENT, PYO JAEHYUN

I have control of the cameras.
Let's begin.

The wiretap is planted under the desk.

As for the camera…

One moment.

Can you see me?

[Sungchan] Clear as day.

I've disabled the sensors
from catching any signals.

And now we hack

Jaehyun's car system.

Okay.

[cell phone vibrates]

[Seondeok]
You only need to bring Jo out, Mr. Pyo.

I'll do the rest.

[Kummo] I knew you'd call, Mr. Pyo.

Let's meet today,

same place.

[Dojin chuckles]

What time is it?

Sleep some more. You barely got any.

No, I need to call the jeweler.

I called them already.

Thank you, Dojin.

I don't deserve your gratitude yet.

First, we catch the real k*ller
and the mastermind.

Then... Then let's pay our respects
to your parents.

My mom,

even through all the accusations,

she never once complained to me.

But I…

I was so scared she might have had
something to do with it.

So I avoided her.

If it's because of me…

If my treatment of her
drove her to suicide,

how can I live with that, Dojin?

It's not your fault.

She wouldn't have thought of you
that way, Haesoo. Never.

Your parents would know better than anyone
about your efforts to get to the truth.

So, let's uncover this together
and see who's behind all this.

Hey, Mr. Park. How are you feeling?

Have you seen the news?

INDEPENDENT CANDIDATE PYO'S WIFE
FALSIFIED IDENTITY?

The Korean Democratic Party is running
with your story about Hong Taera.

Han Kyungrok did that?

How is Chairman Jang doing?
He's a hard man to meet these days.

NO. 1, HAN KYUNGROK

I've been a nuisance to him recently.
I'm sure I'm not making it easier for him.

[laughs] Your special with Candidate Pyo
sure was quite entertaining.

I doubt you caused such a commotion
based purely on conjecture.

There is something, huh?

The article on Hong's fake identity
was also enjoyable.

It was almost identical to my findings.

I know someone who corroborated the truth.

You mean there's a witness?

Yes. The real Hong Taera's friend.

But I can't seem to reach her.

I've sent someone over to find her.

Mr. Pyo… Wow.

He sure has a knack for surprises.

We have some information ourselves.

It's about Mr. Pyo's late mother.

She was quite problematic.

Not that we're complaining.

CANDIDATE NO. 1 HAN KYUNGROK

What's with the long face? What'd he say?

Have you, by any chance,
heard anything about Jaehyun's parents?

I've never heard anything
about his father,

but I know his mother passed away
in a car crash.

I heard she was a doctor.

And how did you first meet Jaehyun?

Damn it.

- Damn b*stard's not picking up.
- Still no answer?

Game's starting soon.

Maybe he chickened out?
Face it, you've lost.

Oh, that sh...

Man, can't anyone take his place?

[stranger] Can I jump in?

Who are you?

I'm Pyo Jaehyun.

- Pleasure.
- Can you play ball?

- [spectator] It's in!
- [spectator 2] Wow!

- [player] sh**t!
- [all] Wow!

- [player 2] Good going, man!
- [all] All right!

- [Dojin] Good game, man!
- Wow!

You're pretty good.

- What's your major?
- Neural engineering. I transferred here.

- And before?
- Seoul University, College of Medicine.

No wonder I'd never seen you before.

We know everyone who can play ball here.

Let's go.

[Dojin] Drinks on me today!
See you at the usual spot.

Order anything you want!

[cheering]

Come on. Let's go! It's a go from me!

Well,

instead of drinks, can you do me a favor?

Introduce me to the club president.

My brother?

I transferred here because of Kyojin.
I want to join his research team.

He transferred to KAIST because of Kyojin?

What was he researching at the time?

Some research about cranial nerves.

He was quite popular back then too,
and people were dying to meet him.

He was the genius from a wealthy family.

A lot of people hid their true colors
to get to know him through me,

but Jaehyun was straightforward.

What about the friend
who was supposed to play?

There was an accident on his way here.

His bicycle suddenly broke down.

He even had to get surgery.

But Jaehyun suddenly appeared
to take his spot.

Dojin, can you look into Jaehyun
some more?

From when he was at SNU Medicine...
No, even before then.

Especially about his late mother.

[Younghwee] How is Kyojin doing?

[Jaehyun] We're operating the system,
and it's going well.

It won't be easy to recover
after seven years, but don't worry.

Some may say this is a miracle,
but not me.

My Kyojin is very strong.

He's going to walk again.

Of course. I know Kyojin will.

He has to.

I'm planning to buy Kumjo stocks
under Kyojin's name.

Great idea, Ms. Min.

Kyojin should take over Kumjo,
rightfully so.

My husband will find out in no time
and try to rush Dojin's succession.

We can't let that happen.

For Kyojin.

I'll get going.
The campaign team's dealing with a crisis.

If I'm not careful, I may lose this game.

Not on my watch.

Can I help in any way?

Whether it's campaign funds or anything,
just say the word.

I have enough money, Ms. Min...

I know,

but funds from your own company
can look bad for you in politics.

I have some cash saved up.

[Sangbae] Here are Kumjo Group's
financial statements

from the past five years.

Starting tomorrow,
we'll start visiting our subsidiaries.

Before your succession,
you should introduce yourself first.

Chairman Jang has planned
your itinerary himself.

Well, it looks like he'd always been
prepared for my return to Kumjo.

Everything is meant
to fall into its rightful place.

Please tell my father,

now that I'm back at Kumjo,

he must keep his promise to help my wife.

Yes, sir.

Also…

can I ask for a personal favor?

I'd appreciate it if Father didn't know.

From hospital records

to proof of employment at
the travel agency following her discharge,

I sent them all to you.

This claim about identity fraud
is outrageous!

[line beeps]

The articles about Ms. Hong's
identity fraud have been refuted.

By any chance,

is there anything else
we should be aware of?

If there are any more issues about her...

Sounds like you're assuming
there will be more problems.

Can you not handle situations like this?

Sir, your approval rating is plummeting
at the moment.

Han Kyungrok's team will strike
even harder.

Do you want to lose in this game
before we even hit the streets?

I will make sure you win the election,
no matter what.

Not only for you, Candidate Pyo,
but also for me.

If that's how you feel,
I have nothing to worry about,

even if a bigger issue arises.

Pardon?

Will 10 billion won be enough
to deal with the press?

After all, doesn't money do the talking
in election campaigns

rather than the campaign manager's mouth?

[cell phone vibrates]

[cell phone vibrates]

Yes, sir.

Pyo Jaehyun speaking.

[Sangbae] Dojin asked me
to run a background check on you.

Go for it. I've been waiting for this.

Guess it's my turn now.

INCOMING CALL
UNCLE

Uncle?


UHM SANGBAE

Mr. Uhm?

[stomps]

[Jo] No. 91.

Did the director send you?

- Hmm?
- [No. 91 screams]

[assassins grunting]

Come here!

Tell Director Kim

that I'll be seeing her soon.

You may go.

[rustling]

I suppose Pyo Jaehyun…

is done with me.

- [bangs]
- What? You lost him?

This makes me seem like a fool
to Candidate Pyo!

[Seondeok] You want to see your sister?

Then do as I say.

This is all for your sister.

[No. 50] I thought you were dead.

After you fell off my bike,

I fell off the cliff.
Then I lost my memory.


Had I known you were at Hanwool,
I would've gotten you out of there.

I would've never left you with her.

Hey!

What are you doing?

That kind of violent behavior
is unacceptable.

Mr. Cha!

How dare you shout while on duty?

At the town house with children, huh?

[Jiu] You want to die?

Why are you acting like you're his boss?

- Want me to bring my g*n out again?
- I wasn't acting like his boss!

He was kicking the trash
and screaming "Ah! Ah!"

Mr. Cha was being bad.
Should he be paid to act like that?

My uncle's just a man. If something's
bothering him, he can shout and get angry.

What's wrong with that?

And my uncle's super nice.
I know him better than you.

I'm warning you, don't mess with me.

[Leo] Dang it, you.
I'm telling my grandpa everything!

Both of you, don't talk to me ever again!

Gosh.

What? That brat.

Uncle, you okay?

Just you wait. I need to finish this fight
with my grumpy bestie.

Jang Leo!

[clapping]

[Jo] How touching.

No. 50's daughter recognizes her own kin.

She cares for her uncle quite deeply.

I almost teared up a little.

Watch what you say.

You shouldn't be wandering around.

Why haven't you k*lled No. 50 yet?

Just say the word.

If you don't think you can do it,

I'll k*ll her for you right now.

What's this?

Don't tell me you're having doubts
because she's blood.

Don't tell me you'll betray
Mother Director?

[Jo chuckles] Tsk, tsk, tsk.

You really shouldn't bite the hand
that feeds you.

- I said watch what you say!
- I saw you hesitate.

I told you to never let your enemy
know your next move.

You know,

all I've been thinking about lately is
how I'm going to k*ll that b*tch No. 50…

and how to make it
for a wife of a famous household

as terrible and horrific as possible.

Thinking about it

has made my life quite enjoyable.

Improves my appetite too.

[thuds]

Damn it.

He's conscious, but why can't he talk?

Is he a living corpse?

Kyojin!

sh*t.

Huh?

Who the hell is this guy?

It's been a while, Chairman.

What the hell brings you here? [chuckles]

My goodness.

Your face looks even more worn
than my old, wrinkly face.

Weren't you pointing fingers at me,
as if I'd done something to Ko Taesun?

Oh, right.

I hear your wife's an assassin,
something or other?

She must be causing you so much grief.

I'm a presidential candidate.

I'm being vetted as the nation's
strictest and fairest figure,

so don't you worry about me.

Instead, shall we take a trip
down memory lane?

I figure you'll also find it
quite interesting, Chairman.

Here are some files on Pyo Jaehyun
that we have at Kumjo.

I'm sure you'll find
what you need in there.

- Thank you, Mr. Uhm.
- We appreciate this.

[paper rustles]

[Jaehyun] Do you remember Dr. Kim Sohye?

Dr. Kim Sohye ran
a small private clinic in Samcheok.

Who?

And what about ammothamnine?

Treatment for cranial nerve disorders
that you sold to a foreign company

about 20 years ago.

You stole the technology from Dr. Kim
and k*lled her.

I'm sure you remember this.

[Jaehyun] Mom.

[whimpers]

[both panting]

[tires squeal]

[Sohye] Oh, no!

[line ringing]

It's taken care of, Chairman.

I've secured Dr. Kim's research files.

Yes, sir.

[Dojin] Dr. Kim Sohye,
a research director,

developed a treatment for dementia
for a large corporation.


She was found to have pocketed
the research funds.


When the truth came out,
Dr. Kim stole the research files and fled.


She caused a car crash while driving drunk
and died instantly,

so did the passengers
in the other vehicle.

[Haesoo gasps]

So he kept it all hidden for a reason.

Jaehyun couldn't talk about his mother.

It says the research was funded
by Kumjo Pharmaceuticals,

but why did Father
never mention this before?

He was probably waiting
for the right timing.

Maybe he was waiting to bring it up
just before the election.

Clearly, Jaehyun was holding a grudge, and
that's why he approached you and Kyojin.

Holding a grudge for what?

According to this article,
his mother's at fault.

It's probably misguided vengeance.

After the accident, he dropped out
of SNU Medicine and transferred to KAIST.

Getting you kicked out of Hatch
was all a part of his plan.

[bell dings]

It's Mr. Park. I asked him for a favor.

[Haesoo] Did you go to Samcheok?

Did you get to meet
any of Dr. Kim's coworkers?

I got in touch with one of her colleagues.

She said Dr. Kim conducted ill*gal human
trials on her own patients at the clinic

in the name of research.

By force?

Without the patient or guardian's consent?

Several patients died during the research,

but it was swept under the rug
after she died.

All the details are in here.

Wait. What are you going to do?

This is enough to make Jaehyun
lose the election.

You're going to do it? We're not exactly
media darlings right now.

Why wouldn't I?
He's a presidential candidate, isn't he?

Stop talking nonsense!

I've never put out a hit on anyone.

I don't know what you've heard,

but her death has nothing to do with me.

You think there's no evidence
that proves you ordered Dr. Kim

to conduct ill*gal human trials?

My poor mother…

was framed for all your bullshit
and wrongfully m*rder*d.

You remember that?

M... Mother?

That's right.

The person in the passenger seat next
to Dr. Kim on that night of the accident,

her one and only son
who survived the crash and got away,

is standing before you now.

Evidence that you gave orders to Mr. Uhm
and the truth about that accident,

I have it all. Got it?

But here you are, shameless.

Going on about how you're
an honest businessman.

COMMEMORATIVE MEDAL
CHAIRMAN JANG KUMMO

I find it hilarious.

[Kummo gasping]

Oh, that's right.

Why would it be a big deal
that you k*lled a doctor from the suburbs?

You hired an assassin
to take out the president of this nation…

at his inaugural ceremony.

No, no.

I swear it wasn't me.

I…

I... It's… It's all a misunderstanding.

[Jaehyun] Oh.

This is no time for a stroke, Chairman.

Your son and his wife
are looking into this case, as we speak.

They might discover your true colors.

You okay with that?

You... You… How…

If you want to keep your filthy secrets
from the world…

you better stop your son
and his wife yourself.

I'll be watching

to see how you decide
to cover up your sins.

[Kummo] You f*cking b*stard.

Why, I ought to...

[Kummo groans]

[Kummo gasping]

His health must be failing.
Take him to a hospital quickly.

[Sangbae] Chairman!

- Get Dr. Choi on the phone now!
- [assistant] Yes, sir.

[Sangbae] Chairman!

[Kummo sighs]

[Sangbae] Chairman!

Chairman!

Chairman!

The researcher who pocketed

the funds that Kumjo Pharmaceuticals
generously provided at the time

is none other than Candidate Pyo's mother!

When the truth was revealed, she took
the research files and ran off into night.

On top of that, she was driving
under the influence of alcohol.

But the person who accompanied her while
she was on the run was Candidate Pyo!

How will a presidential candidate
with such moral issues

be able to govern a nation?

He has covered up the evil sins
committed by his mother

and has encouraged his wife to lie.

Such are the true colors
of Candidate Pyo Jaehyun!

[shutters clicking]

It's perfect.
His ratings will go up by 10%.

They say help comes
from unexpected places,

but who knew it would be Anchorwoman Ko?

We got Candidate Pyo real good this time.

Did you really approach Kyojin and me
to get revenge?

Kyojin's accident…

was you?

[cell phone vibrates]

Yes.

There's one thing I failed to mention.

The chairman had Pyo's mother k*lled
in the accident.

If that gets out,
Kumjo will never recover.

What on earth are you saying?

[knocks]

[line beeps]

Han's press conference is over.

Jaehyun won't be able
to counter this so easily.

What's wrong? Did something happen?

You lost Mr. Jo?

[Seondeok] I take full responsibility.

How can I hand Hatch over
to someone of such incompetence?

[paper rustles]

Manhwe Group's Chairman Song Juman,

Han Kyungrok's campaign sponsor.

Han's funds need to run dry
for us to hit the brakes on KDP's rise.

Please give me a chance to prove myself
and make up for my failure with Mr. Jo.

Our ace is already prepared
and on standby.

Your ace?

Are you talking about Mr. Cha?

What does everyone call Pilseung here?

I know he's Taera's brother.

I've already run a DNA test.

Shall we…

test his skills then?

[No. 105] Yes.

I'll take care of it tonight,

Mother Director.

As of today, it's been decided.
The Blue House goes to Chairman Han.

Chairman Song, we haven't even
officially begun campaigning yet.

Stop it.

If Pyo heard you,
he'd be so sad, seriously.

He can be sad all he wants.

How could he serve the nation
as a man of such pathetic character?

That boy is still wet behind the ears.

He should be thanking us
for even dealing with him.

Am I not right?

I think you may be right.

Here's to...

Manhwe Group's sole bet
is on KDP and Han Kyungrok.

You know that, right?

[Chairman Song]
We are in this together, until the end.

Of course. Of course, let's ch... cheers.

I'll drink to that, Chairman Song.

[Chairman Song laughing]

[Kyungrok singing
"When You and I Were Young, Maggie"]

My men will be loading
hefty presents for you.

You may find the way back
to be a little "weighty."

I hope that's okay!

[both laughing]

[Kyungrok] Oh... Oh, my!

[No. 50] No!

Hajun.

Put the g*n down.

Hajun.

Please stop, Hajun.

Hajun, please stop. Please... No!

- [thuds]
- [Chairman Song gasps]

Oh... Oh, my! Chairman Song, wake up.
Hey, what are you doing?

- Do something!
- [bodyguard] Chairman Song!

- [Kyungrok] Call an ambulance!
- [bodyguard 2] Chairman!

[bodyguard 3] He's not breathing!

I told you not to sh**t.

Why'd you do it? Why?

Because it's my job.

Because if Mother Director
gives the order, I have to do it,

whether it was 15 years ago or now.

[applause]

[g*nsh*t]

[clamoring]

[Seondeok] You want to see your sister?

Then do as I say.

This is all for your sister,

No. 105.

It wasn't you.

It's not your fault.

[No. 50 cries]

[Jaehyun] Cha Pilseung. Can we trust him?

Nevertheless, he is still Taera's brother.

[Kummo] If you delve deeper into this
with Ms. Ko, it'll put Kumjo at risk.

What did he just say?

[Dojin] How can I look my wife
in the eyes now?

How can you be so cruel
to that poor woman?

The next leader of Hatch is you,
Koo Sungchan.

Let's show them who you are, yeah?

- [blows landing]
- [grunting]

[No. 50] The one behind it all…

is you?

[Jaehyun] You hiding something?
