(Hankuk University)

(Announcing results for Hankuk University National Art Competition)

(Lee Kyung: Not Accepted)

Chug!

Chug!

Chug!

You okay?

Hey, out of the way!

They're going nuts over there.

What are you guys doing?

Hey, man, what are you doing?

You okay?

Come on, get up.

No! Don't do it! Hey!

Hey! It's against the rules to do that sober.

Am I right? Huh?

Hey, come on, you have to have a drink.

Finish this, and I'll let you go.

He can take it. He'll love it.

Chug!

Wow, seriously?

How is it?

Are you okay?

Hey!

I said, let go!

Hey.

Hey.

Really? Man, look at him going nuts over there...

Right, I get it.

They're saying you brought the guy who died,

and that you also brought the drugs.

Everyone who was there is telling the same story.

(Incident Report)

Just confess already.

Ji An's family said they can't send their daughter into a murderer's family.

They want to call off the engagement.

Two N says you dragged Kang Hwi Rim into it.

They're trying to pull out of the joint contract entirely.

Father's company is on the verge of bankruptcy.

- Do you see what you've done? - Hyeok, it wasn't me. I swear.

Believe me.

Then why did drugs only show up in your system and the dead guy's?

I'm so sick of this.

This is the last time I'm ever seeing you.

This afternoon at 2:00 p.m.,

at the Two N Hotel in Jongno, Seoul.

Prominent business and political figures attended Chairman Kang's 70th birthday.

Gracing the occasion.

Notably, the chairman's eldest grandson,

Kang Hwi Rim, returned from studying abroad...

to attend the event, drawing considerable attention.

This has led to some speculation that Chairman Kang...

is signaling the official start of his succession planning.

A source who attended the event stated that...

while Chairman Kang did not specifically mention succession,

his comments emphasizing family harmony were noteworthy.

The source that his grandson's return is seen as highly symbolic.

Meanwhile, Chairman Kang appeared in high spirits throughout the event,

greeting each of the attendees personally.

He seemed at ease celebrating his 70th birthday.

You haven't changed one bit.

After six years, the first thing you say...

is that you didn't do it. Again.

I know you don't believe me, Hyeok.

- I'll prove it. I know I can. - How? With that ridiculous plan of yours?

You think Two N is some mom-and-pop shop?

Fine, let's say you do as you planned and bring in that raider, Austin,

appoint an auditor, and file an objection.

Even if you time the acquisition perfectly.

But for us to make a shareholder proposal...

we need to own at least 0.5% of the shares...

in Two N's parent company, Two N Holdings.

Do you have any idea how much that costs?

Eight million dollars.

Don't tell me...

that you are after Dad's money.

If that's what I wanted, I wouldn't have come to you first.

Then what's your plan?

Where are you going to get that kind of money?

Turns out, there's a way.

A place where I can make that much money.

(Episode 9)

(Saint Private Academy of Arts Transfer Process)

Aren't you going to check that?

What's going on?

Is something wrong? Where are you?

Come on, pick up.

It's not that important.

Please continue.

Right.

When it comes to your child studying abroad,

there's a lot of paperwork to prepare, so it can take a while.

If you're in a real hurry, one option is to do a language program first...

and handle the admissions prep there. But you'd need an F-1 visa for that.

Will your whole family be going as well?

(Don't even think of running. I know exactly where you are.)

So you're okay with me telling Kang Hwi Rim who you really are?

Don't even think of running.

I know exactly where you are.

What is your relationship with James?

(Executive Director Kang Hwi Rim)

(Executive Director Kang Hwi Rim)

Boss and subordinate?

Excuse me?

He's the retailer,

and I'm the wholesaler.

(Gold Art Gallery)

Where's my money?

Just give me a little more time. Come on.

You're in on this with Kang Eun Soo, aren't you?

You're both finished.

I'm going to show you exactly...

what I'm capable of.

- Where's my money? - I already told you. It's not your money.

If I die, the drug dies with me.

You think that's the only one in the world?

Right now,

this is your only source of quick cash, no?

Detective, you need the cash now, don't you?

I know my own kind...

when I see them.

If I'm not down in ten minutes,

I told someone to call the police.

You're something else.

Did you really think I'd come here unprepared?

All you really want...

are the drugs, right?

Then pay for it and take it.

Two million dollars.

That's a steal compared to what it's really worth.

You clearly don't get it.

If I wanted the drug, I'd have taken it from you already. Got it?

So I take all the risk, and you just walk away with the money?

That's not how this works anymore.

Pay full price and take it all.

I could burn your house down right now. Think you can handle that?

Then the drug goes up in smoke too.

Can you handle that?

- Yes? - Team Leader, where are you?

We're in big trouble.

Internal Affairs is here, and they're tearing the place apart.

You'd better decide quickly...

before I change my mind.

Are you crazy? Do you know who you're dealing with?

He's a cop! He'll just save his own skin...

and he knows a thousand ways to screw us over.

And you knew all that, but you still lied to me?

I had it all planned out!

If you had just waited a little longer, it would've all worked out.

How much longer was I supposed to wait?

While I was scraping the money together,

you said you'd find the blackmailer.

I got fired from the supermarket...

and I even used up all my husband's medical savings.

I'm working myself to the bone, and I can't even live, let alone the loan.

I went to extremes to protect everything, and it's all falling apart.

And you're teaming up with him to betray me?

What I really...

can't stand...

is that you...

knew my situation better than anyone,

and you still did it.

No...

It's not like that.

I guess I trusted you more than I should have.

Unbelievable.

I can't believe I put my faith in a kid...

who only cares about himself of all people.

Kang Eun Soo, let me explain. I'll tell you why I did it,

what I was thinking, all of it.

It's too late.

(Gwangnam Police Station, Inspector, Jang Tae Gu)

December 1, 2021. We will now begin the questioning...

of Inspector Jang Tae Gu of Narcotics, and Officer Choi Kyung Do.

Is Inspector Jang Tae Gu present?

No, he's not here right now.

- What is this about? - This is a notice from Internal Affairs.

- Which of you is Officer Choi Kyung Do? - That would be me.

Please come with us for a moment.

(Subject: Choi Kyung Do)

(Gwangnam Police: Cooperation Request)

Hey, wait a minute.

(Narcotics Investigation Unit One)

The latest amount that Phantom Do Kyu Man transferred via Bitcoin...

is roughly 40,000 dollars in cash.

If you look here,

on November 29, 40,000 dollars was withdrawn from a burner account.

And on that same day,

this is you, Officer Choi, withdrawing cash from a bank.

This isn't what it looks like. You've got it all wrong.

Officer Choi,

your texts with Do Kyu Man's lackey, Hwang Dong Hyun, also line up perfectly.

(Haengbok Financial Support, up to 40,000 dollars available)

(Money-grubber, Blessing Financial: up to 30,000 dollars)

How can that be mine? It's not mine.

Even though we found it in your desk drawer?

What?

I think there's been some kind of mistake. Phantom has another mole.

They go by "money-grubber." You can check with Do Kyu Man.

He claims he's never seen their face.

It's a precaution, so all transactions can be anonymous.

I can explain everything.

Here's what happened.

That never happened. Where would I get the money...

to give to one of my subordinates? My apartment deposit isn't even 40,000.

That's a lie. He gave me 10,000 dollars in cash first,

and because of tax issues, the Team Leader...

lent me the rest through a friend's account.

So, did anyone see him give you the money or hear him mention the account?

I knew he was struggling with his loan payments,

but to think he took dirty money from Phantom...

It's all my fault.

As his team leader, I should've noticed.

So you're saying there are no witnesses and no physical evidence?

Here, look.

According to these documents that Inspector Jang submitted voluntarily,

the apartment and car he owned until last year...

were transferred to his ex-wife's name,

and most of his salary goes to child support.

Plus, he denies the whole thing.

As of now, there's no evidence...

to support your claim.

If what you're saying is true,

it would mean Inspector Jang deliberately framed you.

Why would he do that to his own team member? Right?

For what reason?

Can you at least say something?

Let's clean this up, quick.

(Gwangnam Police Station, Suspect Profile: Kang Eun Soo)

(Unlikely that Kang Eun Soo acted alone)

(Suspected to have an accomplice)

Officer Choi.

Officer Choi?

It was the Team Leader.

It was him all along.

Give me the drugs and drop dead. You son of a gun.

What's this, Team Leader?

It's not like I need a large sum of money.

I swear I'll pay you back.

(Interrogation Room 2)

You bastard!

How could you?

How could you do this to me?

Think about your wife and Hyun Soo.

What did you do to my family?

Your bank accounts have probably been frozen by now.

If you want to at least keep your severance pay,

you'd better watch what you do.

That's what's best for you and your family.

(Interrogation Room 2)

- What is he doing? - It's fine.

It's nothing.

No, we're fine.

See?

I told you not to push it.

Yes, Attorney. I'll have the paperwork ready by tomorrow.

Yes, of course.

I'm just cleaning up a few loose ends right now.

Yes.

Yes.

(Rookie)

(Calling Rookie)

It's me.

If you don't come up with something today, consider your desk gone.

- Got it? - Okay, whatever.

Exams are over, but don't slack off. Go read a book.

Okay.

If you contact anyone who was absent today,

please be sure to let me know.

- Okay. - Okay.

You all worked hard on your exams. Class dismissed.

(Yoo Jung)

Darn it!

Stop it! Stop!

- Let go! - Just don't!

Honey!

Honey!

Honey!

Honey!

Why'd you skip today?

(Why'd you skip today?)

(Yoon Jin Hee)

(Jinnie: I'll come over.)

(Jinnie)

Jin Hee.

How long are you going to keep skipping school?

(Fire Lane, No Parking)

(Jin Hee, how long will you keep skipping?)

- Sir! - Let go, darn it!

Are we still on for that job you asked me about?

Yes, but we need to move it up a few days.

(Incoming Call: Kang Hwi Rim)

I could burn your house down right now.

Think you can handle that?

It's okay.

- Mom! Are you here to pick me up? - Hey.

Of course. You must be exhausted from exams, sweetie.

Good job today.

- I think I did well, though. - Really?

- I did great. - That's my girl.

What do you feel like eating?

Something delicious.

Come on! Seriously!

- Say you're sorry! - I'm sorry!

(Congratulations on joining Sunjung Construction.)

Hey.

- It's okay. - You got in!

For real?

Hold on.

(Hwang Dong Hyun: Final Interview Results, Sunjung)

(Thank you for your application.)

(We are pleased to offer you the role.)

- Joon Hyun! - Dong Hyun!

(Vacant)

That darn old geezer.

He throws an ashtray at me for selling a few measly shares?

What are you talking about?

I needed cash to buy your drugs, so I sold some of my nominee stocks.

What?

- How much? - Why?

You going to buy them back for me?

Whatever. Just hand over the Baka.

I'm all out.

I don't have any on me right now.

My bad.

My hands have just been so weak lately.

I guess I have no choice then.

I'll just have to contact your partner, then.

My partner?

A woman came, offering me the whole supply.

Turns out you've been ripping me off.

I even shelled out a ton of money for your damn paintings.

You're the one who was so excited about laundering money with NFTs.

Gosh, whatever. I can't be bothered with all this.

First one to bring me the drugs gets the deal.

Got it?

How could Kang Eun Soo know Kang Hwi Rim?

In a kid who only cares about himself of all people...

(Connected Devices: Lee Kyung, Kang Eun Soo)

(Hyeok)

Hey, check the public disclosure from Chairman Kang of Two N right now.

I think Kang Hwi Rim screwed up.

Who the heck is he and why does he freak out over stocks?

Wait, you knew our IR schedule?

You must've really bought a lot.

- Yes, Manager. - Yes, sir.

Bring me our company's shareholder register.

I did a preliminary scoring, and my average went up.

Wow, that's amazing, my girl.

But...

I heard Jin Hee turned in a blank test paper.

She hasn't been to school for a few days, either.

I heard from some of the kids who live in her building...

that her mom's getting fired from her professorship.

Her dad hasn't been coming home either.

And she's ignoring my texts and won't answer her phone.

Honestly, I don't know what to think.

I know what Jin Hee's Mom did was wrong,

but it doesn't feel like she's the only one to blame.

If someone is doing drugs, there's a dealer. Right, Mom?

What the...

Are you crazy?

Can't you see the light is green?

What kind of driving is that?

Are you okay?

I'm sorry.

This is all your fault!

Where's my money?

Mom.

Seriously, what's wrong, Mom?

Oh, sorry.

I guess I was just lost in thought.

You've been acting so strange lately.

Is something wrong?

Here.

What?

Isn't this...

It's that school you said you wanted to go to.

Didn't you say your favorite artist went here too?

It's not like I can go just because I want to.

If you could get in,

would you go?

(Yoo Jung)

There's a gig. Can you make it?

Mom, I totally forgot I had plans.

Let's talk about this when we get home.

With who?

Su Ah.

I'll see you later.

I only found out today from the disclosure.

The problem is...

Chairman Kang bought twice the shares Kang Hwi Rim sold.

We'll need at least a million dollars for 0.07 percent.

We barely managed to get our stake to 0.5 percent.

At this rate, we, Austin...

and the minority shareholders combined can't beat Two N's shares.

Austin said he won't buy any more shares than we first offered.

He's probably content as long as he makes a profit.

The IR is just around the corner.

Where are we going to find a million dollars in cash?

The most I can get right now is one or two hundred thousand.

I thought about pulling money from Sunjung Construction,

but if I touch that...

there would be no point in starting this in the first place.

I'll find a way to take care of it...

Listen, Kyung.

Let's give up.

It was never something we could have aimed for.

You...

and I did...

all we could.

I'm leaving.

I have to go to the site with my father.

Father...

was really worried...

after you left like that last time.

Even if you don't go this far,

he'll forgive you someday.

Oh, you're awake?

But I wonder where your guardian went.

My guardian?

Your father.

He came as soon as he got the call.

Looked like he ran all the way here.

Oh my, sir, where are you going...

Father!

Father!

I'm sorry.

I'll make everything right again.

I promise you.

Father!

- Hold still. - I promise!

Father!

Let go!

Father!

Father!

Father!

Father!

I...

won't give up.

- Honey, honey. - Mom!

- Honey, honey! - Mom.

Honey!

Why are you asking me these questions?

It's not like my wife has anything...

to do with what happened to Jin Hee's mother, is it?

Ms. Kang is not directly involved.

Are you saying she's indirectly involved in some way?

That's what I'd like to find out.

- Prepare for RSI. - On it.

- Her clothes and her ID, okay? - But... I...

It's because of me. Mom...

Hurry.

She was probably in early pregnancy,

so I don't think she knew.

We regret to inform you.

Where are you?

Something terrible has happened.

They say we can't live here anymore. Is it for real?

Honey, it hurts so much.

Why all of a sudden? Is it for his treatment?

I can't believe you wouldn't even tell me.

Do I have to tell you everything?

Your problems are my problems, you know?

I appreciate the help, really, but this is a family matter.

What about the money?

Your insurance won't cover you in the US. And what about Su Ah's school?

Don't worry. I've got it all handled.

Didn't we just get it reissued?

What do you need that for?

- For her to study abroad, of course. - Study abroad?

Su Ah is going to study abroad?

Well, I...

It's just...

A really good opportunity came up. And if we miss it this time,

she won't be able to go, so I made a last-minute decision.

but that's not an option right now.

and a rental car here, all in your name.

I've also registered you and Su Ah for a language school,

so you have to go to the interview. That's how you'll get your visa...

- so you can get your treatment. - Eun Soo!

you're the one who said I've never been wrong.

Look, just do as I'm telling you.

I'm doing all of this for our family. Please, just this once...

Just shut it and listen to me for once!

(Congratulations on your admission!)

Why wasn't I there?

Why wasn't I?

I appreciate the help, really, but this is a family matter.

He's my husband, and she's my daughter.

Hey, we could get super rich off this, couldn't we?

You know it.

And when that happens, I'm literally going to live here.

When I live here, I'm going to open a Korean spa.

- A Korean spa? Seriously? - Okay. You take the ice room.

- I get the ice room. - Then I'll take the hot sauna.

- Then I want a house with 100 bathrooms. - 100 bathrooms?
