He's...

...your father.

Nice to meet you.

You look familiar.

Who tried to kill my mother and me, Aunt?

It was either your father...

or the person who wanted to kill your mother most.

Butterfly

Do you know my mother's nickname?

It's Iron Butterfly.

I...

have a feeling we'll fall so deeply in love we might disappear together.

Then one of you...

...must disappear.

You jerk!

You were alive but pretended you were dead?

I never forgot for one minute! Not one second!

How high have you risen?

If you play along with the General's daughter, will you rise this high?

Han Kwang Hoon...

needs to be under my father's shadow

in order to leave a big...

...mark in this world.

An officer's family has the right to know how he got hurt like this!

Step aside, In Ae!

Wait until I contact you.

Do as ordered!

Don't trust him!

Do you want me to get betrayed by your hyung?

You don't.

Hold onto me.

That's your destiny.

I want to introduce the General Manager who has worked very hard to open this hotel.

I told you not to demonstrate no matter what.

The government is trying to find evidence of treason.

You'll die if you get caught up in that!

I thought he'd forgotten about her.

But I was wrong.

Leave it to me.

I'm setting a trap regardless of Tae Kyung.

Without any human decency or honesty, you're covered in filth as the lowest form of humankind.

No, you're like a moth covered in blood flying into the fire.

We must become a family...

...and survive.

Take Hye Jin with you.

It's time for you to marry.

I can't find Han Kwang Hoon.

Han Kwang Hoon left for good!

I don't know.

I was half-asleep when I heard her.

I think she was talking to the Professor's wife.

But...

- she was gone when I woke up. - Special report.

Professor Yoo and a female law student, Seo, was involved in a demonstration

was kidnapped in front of the American Embassy

according to the opposition party.

The investigation shows Ms. Seo was not kidnapped but...

Hey, Kwang Hoon!

Just a moment.

Do you know me?

Very well.

You're Han Kwang Chul's hyung...

and assistant to General Chun.

But...

aside from that...

I heard the radio broadcast on the way here.

I know Seo In Ae was home last night.

What happened?

Isn't it polite to introduce yourself first?

I'm Kim Tae Kyung.

Prime Minister Kim Gun Pyo's son.

Last night...

I came to wish Seo In Ae a happy birthday.

Birthday?

Are you sure Seo In Ae isn't home right now?

If you're so worried,

why don't you go inside and see for yourself?

Find out who kidnapped her and why...

and where she is right now.

Find out...

...and rescue her.

Hankook University...

Did you hear about the incident with Professor Yoo?

I heard Seo In Ae who you think of as a younger sister was involved.

That's right.

The news is that it's reignited the student movement.

Your precious Seo In Ae is quite amazing.

She was arrested in front of the American Embassy.

Is it true that she was kidnapped in front of the...

...American Embassy?

Do you...

want to believe it was a kidnapping...

like the opposition party says?

So?

I think it's time you make yourself clear.

Should I...

apologize for asking too much...

...of you last night?

Please help...

Seo In Ae...

so nothing bad happens and...

she can continue her studies.

That won't be easy.

She'll have to pay for it.

Hello.

Prime Minister, you're calling directly?

I was about to send a report.

A favor?

The Prime Minister?

Seo In Ae?

Is it true that it was a kidnapping as the opposition party is stating?

So, it's true it happened in front of the American Embassy.

Where...

...is she?

I received a report that she's in Seobinggo.

Yes.

I understand.

In Ae...

Is In Ae being held in Seobinggo?

Yeah.

I'll be honest.

For me, this is...

the moment...

I win or lose a son.

There's no time.

Time is always of the essence when it comes to such an important point in a man's life.

It's decided in a moment's time.

Leave.

National Security Office.

It's me.

I heard you went home.

Did you find out where In Ae is?

She's being interrogated.

Don't you need to find out whether they're accusing an innocent person or if she's hurt?

This line isn't for discussing personal matters.

What's the big deal about this line?

You should hear your family's voices at least!

Hang up!

Kwang Chul.

It's time for the morning meeting. Everyone's waiting.

Oh, yeah.

The guest arriving today...

...must be an incredible VIP.

It says that the General Manager needs to go to the airport in person.

A fax came from France.

Who the heck is asking for me?

What's this?

A special brand of water and hypoallergenic pillow?

Without any warning?

Hello.

It's been a long time.

I'm George Sangue Hotel manager Sagang.

My French name.

Welcome to Korea.

You studied hard to become General Manager.

Goodness.

What's the secret behind making the George Sangue Hotel the best in the world?

I missed you.

What's the secret?

I guess you didn't miss me as usual.

I'm disappointed.

Hotel management is about respecting people.

I don't think low-level employees are disposable.

But right now...

I feel like I'm disposable.

I had high expectations.

Should I go to the hotel?

Grandfather's hospital.

I know you're busy.

But drop me off and pick me up.

Of course.

You're the VIP of our hotel.

You thought it was an international VIP.

But it turned out to be Se Kyung?

You must have been happy to see her.

Oh...

You have a guest waiting inside. Someone you won't be glad to see.

Who?

What about In Ae?

In Ae...

It's true that she's being interrogated...

...at an undisclosed location.

She's not hurt and is alive.

Don't worry.

Get her out!

I thought General Chun is the next President.

Doesn't he have the authority to get a student released?

In Ae is an innocent student!

I...

...want to talk to you.

What is this?

It's Father's inheritance.

Inheritance?

Ancestral burial grounds.

Ancestral burial grounds?

Our ancestral burial grounds make up quite a bit of land.

This is the first time I've heard of this.

You take care of it.

What?

A dam will be built there.

That land...

...will be underwater.

Prepare for that.

What ancestral burial grounds and take care of what?

Look at the address.

Choongju city, Hwamri, Nangol Mountain.

It's Father's hometown.

Choongju is Father's hometown?

Wow, I've never even heard of this.

What am I?

Am I really Father's second son?

Are we really brothers?

You...

and I...

When have we ever had the chance to sit calmly and talk about Father's hometown?

So?

You and Father secretly planned for a big future together?

Then why are you telling me to take care of it now?

I can't do it.

I won't. Take it back.

Are you awake?

You know where this is, right?

It's a place where lives disappear like fog.

Everyone in the world knows you're intelligent.

Write down the structure of your organization.

Accurately.

The whole world knows that you wrote and distributed the anti-government declaration papers.

Prof...

What happened to Professor Yoo?

Answer his questions, you tough bitch!

Hold it.

It will be bad if she's scarred.

Director.

You have a phone call.

Yes.

It's me, Tae Kyung.

What makes you think you can call here?

I made a promise with Mother.

If Seo In Ae is released,

I'll completely give up.

Who would believe you?

I know everything, ahjussi.

She was released and rearrested in front of the Embassy for a worse crime because of me.

Ahjussi, you're a frightening person.

Who told you that nonsense?

I beg you, ahjussi.

Release her.

It's impossible even if your father begged. Stop acting childish.

Let's talk personally now.

What is the reason you went after the Prime Minister's son?

I heard you have a boyfriend.

Is General Chun's assisting officer your boyfriend?

I guess it's true.

Why go after the Prime Minister's son when you have a boyfriend?

I'm not sure...

but I think you're going to lose your boyfriend, too.

To General Chun Tae Woong.

I was asked for a favor.

It's true you have an amazing boyfriend.

That guy...

seems like he'll fly far if General Chun gives him wings.

The Korean sky is low.

It's strange.

Both sides asked for favors because of you.

It's not a good destiny.

It's an evil destiny.

Evil destiny?

What do you mean by that?

Even if I try to cut ties,

it's a tether that can't be cut.

Tether?

So, you have to listen to me from now on.

In order for your life...

to head in a brighter direction.

Just let me be.

If it's an evil destiny,

I'll cut it myself someday.

You arrogant little...

Director.

General Chun has arrived.

This isn't like him.

He's like a father scared of losing his son to the enemies.

Hello.

General Chun...

are you really allowing him in here?

He wants to meet Seo In Ae.

That's not difficult.

You're really stupid.

How can you measure a woman with the next in line for President?

I don't think you need to be that pure-hearted.

The Prime Minister and his son are petitioning for Seo In Ae's release.

You...

should just go on your way.

This is a special privilege.

Not just anyone can come in this room.

There, look up.

Now, it's water this time.

Here you go.

I think General Chun...

wants to show you...

that Seo In Ae will continue to suffer if you choose her.

What do you think?

And with any luck, you will end up in the same place easily.

I'll explain it...

...more simply.

It's too late for you to choose to leave General Chun on your own.

That's the reason General Chun brought you here.

So, you can live...

and you can save her, too.

Of course, General Chun never said this.

But I read his heart.

Damn it.

You can decide now.

No...

No, no.

Stop!

Stop it!

Stop this...

...torture now.

Right now!

Right now!

Stop.

Stop it.

You started it.

You extended your hand to me first.

That's right.

If so...

you need to look at the bigger picture.

I think...

you overestimated me, General.

What do you mean?

I was...

already taking care of my personal affairs.

Are you saying you were preparing to leave?

This won't do.

Let's go...

have a drink before going home.

Grandfather didn't recognize me.

They say mere eighty years make up for a long life.

I'm sad.

Aren't you going to console me when I'm crying?

Be grateful.

If he lived over eighty years,

he lived a natural life span.

Someone else's father died in his prime.

I'll confess again.

I really missed you.

Right-hand.

At the Seine River...

and the Montmartre...

and Rue Saint-honore...

I wanted to be with you.

I asked you to come visit.

You never even answered.

You said some prince was chasing you.

Were you lying?

I can't lie.

Why don't you...

take me to a club in Itaewon...

or buy me pork skin again?

I'm busy.

You know I'm busy.

Alright already.

From now on, we'll have to see each other everyday anyway.

I know.

What?

I'll work in Surabol Hotel's marketing department.

Says who?

It's the Chairman's order.

You're just the General Manager in title.

I might actually become the real General Manager.

Weren't you going to work at Jamsil hotel?

It's just until the opening.

Why?

Do you have a problem, right-hand?

Why aren't you getting out?

Unload my bag.

Do I look like your chauffeur, damn it?

Take out my bag!

Damn it.

Damn it?

Give it.

Hey!

Han Kwang Chul?

You're late to a meeting with Chancellor.

Prepare to die if you say the wrong thing tonight.

Lead the way.

He arrived beaten up like this.

Pour him a full glass.

Isn't this fake liquor?

You've invited the Chancellor here...

How dare you serve him fake liquor, you jerks!

Do you need to get hit more? Talking gibberish.

This is not a fitting place for you, Chancellor.

You're supposed to renovate the country like the New Village project.

I heard you dream of being second-in-line.

So?

Then you can't be in a place like this.

Are you telling me...

I should be careful...

...where I go?

Yes.

You're a royal family member, right?

You don't know how to enjoy yourself.

To call me over a petty nightclub dispute...

I'm a little disappointed.

You've got guts, don't you?

Are you dreaming...

of the new village kingdom?

So, hand over the construction rights?

Is that what you're asking?

Wow.

Indeed.

General Chun's assisting officer...

is Seo In Ae's boyfriend?

It's a small world.

So?

I think Seo In Ae will be betrayed.

Then Tae Kyung will go even crazier.

Isn't the Prime Minister a bigger problem than Tae Kyung?

Se Kyung...

You're sending her back to Paris, right?

Of course.

Make sure it's done.

I think she's getting too close...

to Chairman Son's chauffeur.

I've done it all. Fighter and bartender by night...

Construction work in the daytime...

...as a daily worker.

In Japan?

I heard you're the right-hand man of the wealthy Korean national in Japan.

What right-hand man...

I'm just his chauffeur.

This is good.

You'r full of talents.

You have good taste.

I knew it immediately.

I worked as a waiter in the US.

I guess you weren't as well off then?

I learned about life while working as a bartender.

If you look across a man drinking,

you can see inside of him clearly.

What kind of man he is.

Whether he's a fraud or will commit more fraud to come.

Whether he'll have success or ruin.

Whether he's innocent, shrewd or a brown-noser.

That's why I'm asking...

if you can give those guys earlier...

the rights to run your hotel nightclub.

Many gangs have their eyes on it.

I'm considering having each gang...

send a representative to work for me.

Are you...

trying to act like a mafia boss?

If there is a boss...

If there is...

You've already seen right through me.

Hye Jin.

I brought Han Kwang Hoon back.

I caught him.

I thought I was going to lose another son.

But I found him.

For your sake, Father?

For my sake...

...and for your sake, brat.

That's the reason General Chun brought you here.

So, you can live...

and you can save her, too.

Who the heck is Seo In Ae...

that you're trying to get her released?

Who told you that?

General Chun is already grooming his successor and painting a bigger picture.

But you're getting involved...

in an effort to get a delinquent girl released.

Mom, we're eating.

And you...

Stop hanging out with Chairman Son's chauffeur.

You've seen Grandfather, so go back to Paris and continue studying.

I'm going to work.

What work?

I'm going to work in Uncle's hotel.

Ugh, why are you both doing this to me!

I forbid it!

Absolutely not!

Just leave her alone.

Let Se Kyung do what she wants.

You have no right to speak.

General Chun's assisting officer is Seo In Ae's boyfriend.

Did you know that?

She had a boyfriend but went after you.

Why do you think she did that?

Seo In Ae didn't go after me.

I approached her.

It was one-sided.

You didn't know she had a boyfriend?

I didn't know at first.

But I knew later.

You knew?

I knew.

You senseless idiot.

Get a grip, please!

Mother.

All of you disappear!

If you're not going to listen to me, disappear!

It would be easier not to see you.

Disappear!

Don't be rash.

They'll pull out knives and guns if it doesn't go their way.

But we can't just let them take it.

Give and take.

If you had to choose between money or power,

which would you pick?

Money or power?

That's interesting.

My hyung would definitely pick power.

Since I can't maintain power,

it would definitely be money.

You're both wrong!

What?

You have to forget both to gain both.

If your purpose in life is money or power,

you will be ruined someday because of one or the other.

The more you focus...

it will become a weapon of destruction later.

When you'd rather die than surrender,

you must learn how to surrender.

How to...

...surrender?

Right.

That's what you call humility.

Then...

in order to betray someone you shouldn't betray,

you have to surrender to power.

Is that also humility?

Are you talking about your hyung?

Don't live like that.

I can't talk about that.

That doesn't make sense then.

Assistant officer Han Kwang Hoon to be engaged

Oppa.

I'm sorry, oppa...

for not listening to you...

and making you see me this way.

When I get out,

whenever that is,

I'll listen to you and just focus on studying.

I'll try to pass the bar exam.

Are you injured...

...anywhere?

No.

Torture...

What about torture?

It's okay. I'm not injured and it doesn't hurt.

Don't worry about me.

I'm sure it was hard for you to visit.

Thank you, oppa.

I'm okay now.

Don't cower to anyone to get a chance to visit me.

In Ae.

I...

came to tell you something.

In Ae...

Yeah?

Speak, oppa.

I'm...

...leaving.

I'm...

...leaving you.

That's what I decided.

Leaving?

I'm going to study abroad.

You don't mean...

This is the end...

...of our relationship.

I can't...

...give any explanation.

I can't tell you to wait...

...or that I'm sorry.

From now on,

live without...

expecting anything from me.

Understand?

No, no, no, no!

Go study abroad and come back, oppa.

No.

Don't wait for me.

Why not?

We're over.

Oppa.

I'll be...

...Chun Hye Jin's fiance.

That's what I've decided.

I'm really sorry...

...to tell you here like this.

Did someone threaten you?

Oppa, did someone threaten to kill you or me if you didn't do it?

Oppa.

Forget me.

Kwang Hoon oppa.

Forget my name, too!

Who is threatening you?

Is it General Chun?

From now on...

...we're strangers.

No, don't go, oppa. Wait!

With this...

With this...

...we're done.

Oppa, oppa, oppa! Oppa, don't go!

Oppa, oppa!

Oppa, oppa!

Oppa, I'm sorry!

Oppa!

Oppa.

Oppa.

Kwang Hoon oppa!

Kwang Hoon oppa!

Oppa.

Oppa.

In Ae...

...did you know?

You...

have the...

most beautiful eyes in the world.

So, don't make...

tears fall from my eyes because of you.

What is this?

What is this newspaper article?

Are you the orphan they're referring to?

Are you getting engaged to General Chun's daughter?

Move.

Answer me first.

This is a mistake, right?

We have to get it changed before everyone sees it!

No.

It's accurate news.

It came out faster than I thought.

Crazy...

Are you crazy?

So?

Are you coming back from meeting In Ae?

Yeah.

What did you tell her?

I told her our relationship was over.

What?

So...

...you should know that, too.

You couldn't say that unless you were a son of a bitch.

Move.

I won't.

Move.

I won't!

Hyung!

Go back in...

...and tell her you're sorry!

Tell her you went crazy momentarily!

- I can't. - Why not?

I can't.

I can't, you jerk! I can't anymore!

Let go.

Hyung. Just once.

- Let go! - I can't, I won't!

- Let go! - I can't!

- Let go, you jerk. - Just hit me. I won't move.

Let go!

Let go, you bastard!

I won't!

Let's go.

Please, hyung!

You bastard.

Let's go!

It's too late!

It's not too late! Let's go, hyung!

It's too late!

Please!

- It's too late! - Take it back!

Listen to me!

General!

You can't do this.

You're killing someone, so you can live.

Shut up, you bastard.

Who is that?

No one you need to know.

Let's go.

Hyung.

You coward, Han Kwang Hoon!

You better succeed!

So, I...

So, I...

...can ruin you.

Even the newspapers are in a rush these days.

Based on the size of the news report,

if we don't rush the engagement,

there will be complaints.

I know you don't feel good about it.

But let's get it over with quickly. There's no time.

General...

What?

I'm sorry...

but was there no one else you could trust?

No.

Trust no one. That's my philosophy.

I don't even trust myself.

Tae Kyung...

stop making your mother worry.

Am I getting kicked out again?

Again?

I know already.

You watch over my every move for my mother.

Your mother and I do it for your sake.

So...

Why did you want to see me?

This is your mother's order.

She wants you to work at your Grandfather's company.

Then...

I can stay in Korea?

It's a new company.

MK Global?

It was formed with international funding.

Offshore funds - mutual fund that is based in an offshore jurisdiction.

So, you want me to manage hidden funds with the label "Global?"

Shh...

Don't distort it.

Shh...

My mouth?

Do you know how much is paid for international commissions?

Weren't you a management mastermind before, ahjussi?

My grandfather, Min Jung Han, supported you fully.

But why are you in politics?

I might return to my rightful position someday.

When Father gains power?

Oh...

Shh...

So, what's my actual position?

International-Fund Team Manager.

That's just in title.

It's just a paper company, isn't it?

Would you rather get kicked out?

Ahjussi...

then...

when will it be possible to visit Seo In Ae?

How long will you act like a child?

Cover your ears, Se Kyung.

Never mind.

Forget about Seo In Ae or her life will become harder.

She jumped into the fire fearlessly.

She's lucky to still be alive.

Are you saying she could've been killed? Like the Inhyuk Dang incident?

Yeah, what if the possibility was 100%?

You never know when a knife might fall on your neck. It's no time to talk about love.

Get up.

MK's Chairman is waiting.

Se Kyung, do you want to go, too?

No, I'm working at the hotel starting today.

You...

Shh...

Don't say anything to Mother.

Ahjussi, you especially love me, right?

Hello, you're back.

This is the joint French restaurant contract.

These are the advertisement contracts for the hotel exterior.

This is the barista salary contract.

And the event reservations for the Diamond reception hall.

Tonight at 6pm...

there is a lecture for the entire staff by the hotel management genius, Johaness.

That's all.

Oh, yeah.

Here are the phone call messages.

I underlined the numbers that the General Manager needs to call back.

Is...

Oh...

Chairman Son's special salary contract for me...

I'll draw it up after I consider it fully.

Just sit here and do it all.

It's the Chairman's special orders.

Oh...

Seo In Ae unni...

Did you visit her?

Seo In Ae, your lawyer is here.

Hello.

I'm Kim Woo Hyuk.

Do you remember me?

From Busan Prosecution Office.

They killed someone...

and they're calling it suicide.

They're not investigating...

they held the funeral...

and they're cremating him!

Send her up.

Do you remember me?

Yes.

Please sit.

It's an honor.

I realized my mistake after watching the Tess movie.

I was so busy that day I couldn't help you.

I wronged you.

That's right.

I was taken away unjustly...

and sent to juvenile hall.

Forgive me.

Actually, we're neighbors from when we were young.

When we were young?

Of course.

I've been on shrimp boats since the age of fifteen. I have the roots of a country fisherman.

I don't have friends because I was studying for the bar exam.

I don't have skills, connections or money.

I don't have anything, but...

I wanted to show this savage world that integrity and conscience are protected!

That's what I wanted to do.

So, I became a lawyer.

That's right, the documents...

I've been using this since I've been studying for the bar exam.

How embarrassing.

This isn't a fitting place for me to smile.

But you make me want to.

Really?

You look like an angel when you smile.

The respected lawyer, Hong Sang Woo, is supporting me.

I will support purity and fairness.

Will you...

...accept my help?

What?

From the way I look,

do I seem unreliable?

Where do we start?

What do you think? Do you like it better than the other one?

I like them all.

What do you think, Kwang Hoon?

Kwang Hoon.

The groom seems to like them all.

I'll try on one last one.

Alright.

Help me.

This is...

...the end.

Oppa, oppa!

Oppa, I'm sorry!

I know. I suppose wedding preparations are like this.

It must be destiny.

It's happening so suddenly.

I heard he's an ardent and...

intelligent supporter of General Chun.

He's a promising aspiring politician.

Has he established his successor?

He's an orphan so people are curious.

The newspaper article was huge.

I guess Hansu Daily's Chairman...

...already knew?

I'm sorry we announced it first, madam.

I just follow my husband's instructions, madam.

Good-bye then.

Thank you, madam.

Something's bothering her.

Need I apologize for my children getting engaged before hers?

She's always upset about something.

I suppose so.

She's been acting like the First Lady for so long.

Be careful what you say.

The nation can be ruined by women's gossip.

I know.

That's why you don't trust me either.

Why are the children so late?

Why?

Are you afraid Han Kwang Hoon ran away?

Han Kwang Hoon, you bastard!

How can you do this?

How can you do this to In Ae!

You jerk...

Fine...

Let's both die tonight.

How can you do this as a human being?

You went to the jail to stab In Ae in the heart, are you human?

Get her off him immediately.

What are you doing?

How can you do this, you jerk?

Han Kwang Hoon!

Let's see how happy you become!

Heaven's wrath wouldn't be enough for you!

Are you crazy?

How dare you scream at a place like this?

Let go of me!

Let go!

Han Kwang Hoon, you bastard!

Engagement party?

He's crazy.

Hello.

It's me.

Yeah, what, what, what!

A date has been set for the engagement.

So?

Did you know?

The location...

...is the Surabol Hotel.

So?

You...

I want you to attend only as the General Manager.

Will you explain your bullshit?

Since the newspaper article said you're an orphan, you want me to hide that we're brothers?

The newspaper was based on an inaccurate assumption.

Do whatever you want about that.

It would be best to change the location.

What?

It's canceled.

Why not?

It's already been reserved.

That's impossible!

Because it's General Chun?

Because of its political business in nature?

Right, right, right!

Out of all the hotels in Seoul,

our hotel was chosen.

As if they're granted a special privilege. That's what they must be assuming.

What's wrong with you?

Is General Chun's side your enemy?

Is it really impossible, Chairman?

That's enough, General Manager.

I really want to cancel it.

No!

Alright.

Ugh, my head.

Se Kyung...

what's wrong with that guy?

General Chun's son-in-law is the General Manager's hyung.

What?

His hyung betrayed someone by getting engaged.

Betrayed?

Why!

Why!

Why!

Why!

Assistant officer Han Kwang Hoon to be engaged

Congratulations.

Do you want to die by my hands, Han Kwang Hoon?

This is too hard. I can't take it.

This wine...

think of it as In Ae's tears right now.

What's the big deal about betraying you?

We can die together.

Stop it, Seo In Ae.

We're finished.

I'll make him pay for it.

Is a person's life that easy? I'll protect Seo In Ae.

I want to see Kwang Hoon oppa's face.

Hyung's not coming back even if you get sick and die!
