(West Annex, Cheongwadae)

After a long discussion,

Miracle Investment decided...

(Yoo Se Woong, Oh Hyo Nam, Jung Min Ok)

(Jin Do Jun, Oh Se Hyeon)

not to take over Soonyang Card.

Did you know that?

This is making a fool out of the creditors.

You can't do this now.

I've looked into Miracle Investment.

The third-generation heir is a majority shareholder, I heard.

I guess Soonyang wants to play tug of war with Cheongwadae...

and the creditors.

I'll take it.

I'll order a suspension of business of Soonyang Card.

You can't do that.

Suspension of business means bankruptcy.

How can we banks get back the bad debt?

Is Cheongwadae going to take responsibility?

The financial supervisory authorit ymust take responsibility.

This happened because you issued credit cards to people...

who cannot even pay the money back.

How is that our fault?

It's the previous government's fault for blindly removing regulations...

saying we need to boost domestic demand to overcome the IMF crisis.

Since the power was handed over,

the current government must take responsibility.

Why would Cheongwadae be responsible for it?

You guys over issued credit cards for your own benefit!

(Creditors' Council for Soonyang Card's Normalization)

Miracle Investment will take responsibility.

Under just one condition.

What is that condition?

Fifty-one percent of people who became delinquents...

because they couldn't pay back the money...

is entrepreneurs in their 50s and unemployed.

They say Korea got over the IMF crisis early,

but for these people, the IMF crisis is still ongoing.

They need a second chance.

If they can't stand on the same starting line,

they at least need that much for the game to be fair.

Please introduce the personal workout rule.

So that delinquents can pay back their debts...

and start anew.

This is Miracle Investment's condition.

We will not allow the pardoning of credit card debts.

That's the principle of the President.

It's not pardoning.

I'm going to make them take responsibility...

for this card issue.

Taking responsibility is not something to shoulder morally...

but paying back the debt.

That's right.

If Cheongwadae and the creditors take responsibility...

of the workout,

Miracle Investment will take responsibility too.

How about Miracle Investment take over Soonyang Card...

and Daeyoung Card...

and retrieve all the bad debt?

Daeyoung Card too?

If Cheongwadae...

dampens the spirits of the two conglomerates,

Soonyang and Daeyoung, who are known for not following orders,

and solve the credit card issue,

no citizen would call it an amateur government.

(Creditors' Council for Soonyang Card's Normalization)

(Reborn Rich)

(Episode 15)

What was that, young expat?

You didn't tell me about Daeyoug Card before.

I thought they would agree to the personal workout policy...

only when the creditors changed their minds.

Why? Are you going to rescue three million delinquents...

and run for President next time?

Mr. Oh. Show me your wallet.

What?

What's this out of nowhere?

Let's see.

You have more cards than ten-dollar notes.

Today, I did exactly what I learned from you.

I bought what has future value when it was at its cheapest.

Two for one at that.

I'll call you when it's ready.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

Next customer for Counter Two.

(Personal Workout Policy: We Recover Your Credit!)

How can I help you?

I'm here for the consumer proposal.

Consumer proposal? A moment, please.

Next, please watch the video...

of Vice-Chairman Jin Young Ki's interview.

Father.

It's me, your eldest son.

For the last one year, I felt your empty spot...

and realized how lacking I was every single day.

Don't worry too much.

As you taught me...

They say office changes manners.

- For the peace of our family... - Everything the ancestors said...

is true, Ye Jun.

Righteous management is...

Look at your uncle.

He used to be a simple man...

who couldn't say anything he didn't mean.

Now, he's only speaking empty words...

without changing his expression...

when it's so easy to see through.

Ji Na.

You must've had a hard time because of Soonyang Card.

I will now...

I guess I would be upset too.

You only have one thing to show off about your family.

Your father, the former finance minister.

But I heard even his position didn't work this time.

Without your family as a fence,

your bones ache even at this age.

I'm so worried about you.

Why are you so proud...

of your infamous loan shark family of Myeong-dong?

He earns stinky money from markets...

and makes others shed tears.

Aren't you embarrassed at that age?

We used that dirty money...

to buy out all of Soonyang Corporation shares...

to turn my husband into the chairman.

Embarrassed? Me?

In this case, the right word is "jealous," Ji Na.

I miss you yet again today, Father.

Is the bankruptcy announcement of Soonyang Card tomorrow?

Yes, Chairman Jin.

As soon as we receive two percent of the Corporation,

I'll contact Fair Trade Commission...

and start the process of making you the chairman of Soonyang.

Chairman Jin.

Do I speak like this?

Grandfather always said...

The group will be succeeded...

to the eldest son once again.

- Instead of who owns it... - My father, me,

and my son.

I always keep that in mind, Grandfather.

I kept my word.

- I will always do my best... - Boast about it...

only after you become...

the chairman, okay?

I heard you were going to...

give a speech as the representative of the family.

Yes. As you said,

it's the speech...

of Soonyang's chairman that costs 1.6 billion dollars.

I just got a call that the creditors of Soonyang Card...

finished their last meeting.

They say Soonyang Card will be normalized soon.

- What? - The company...

that took over Soonyang Card...

must be strong financially.

They already paid back...

the tremendous amount of debt.

They paid back the debt?

Yes.

Then what about...

my shares of Soonyang Corporation?

I respect Young Ki...

- I'm the most handsome one, right? - and treat him as my elder.

I'm living just for Soonyang.

We fill the gaps of each other...

and work towards a better Soonyang.

Two percent of Soonyang Corporation shares was bait.

It was bait to get both Young Ki and me...

with Soonyang Card.

I thought Young Ki was going to win in a decision.

So?

Who is it?

The largest shareholder of Soonyang Corporation?

For the past year,

the shares of Soonyang Corporation...

under Vice-Chairman Jin Young Ki increased quite a lot.

Was that your work?

For CEO Jin Seong Jun's Soonyang Venture Investment...

which was unlisted,

you made it go public and earned seed money for him.

The shares of Soonyang Electronics kept increasing in capital.

I guess CEO Jin Seong Jun started the preparation...

for succession as well.

I learned everything from you.

Don't work too hard.

In the end,

you'll just become like me.

No way.

I don't covet the owner's position.

Because your owner is...

not the owner of Soonyang.

(1 Year Memorial Service of Deceased Chairman Jin Yang Cheol)

Because it is I, who designed the succession plan of Soonyang.

When I delivered bread,

I got quite a bit of breadcrumbs on my hands.

I passed my shares of Soonyang Corporation...

under borrowed names to the new owner that I chose.

- What are you... - That owner will become...

the largest shareholder of Soonyang Corporation.

So who is it?

Who is the largest shareholder of Soonyang Corporation?

It's me, Uncle.

What?

The person who took over Soonyang Card...

and the person who paid off the debt right after.

And the person who prevented the security of the two percent...

of Soonyang Corporation shares from falling into your hands.

It's all me.

You punk.

Were you planning this from the start?

You went between Dong Ki and me...

with the debt of 800 million dollars of the card company...

and made double the profit!

Twice, at that!

Yes. I needed money.

To take over the shares of Soonyang Corporation under borrowed names.

The largest shareholder of Soonyang Corporation...

is me.

Welcome back.

Seong Jun.

What happened that he looks...

so gloomy?

Nothing happened.

He gave the speech for Grandfather's one-year memorial service.

I'm sure he feels empty.

He had a very strong sense of filial duty as a son.

Mother. Don't worry about Father.

Take an early rest today.

You must be very tired from the event.

- Go check on your father. - Okay.

Gosh, you're awake.

Hello.

You punk. Where are your manners?

- Do I look like a pushover? - Yes.

Yes!

For the past 30 years, I tried so hard...

not to think of you as a pushover.

My gaze, words, and habitual actions.

In case any of them would show my honest thoughts...

of looking down on you,

I behaved very carefully.

Because I couldn't let Grandfather find out.

- What? - "I cannot succeed Soonyang..."

"to a father whom even his own son looks down on."

You could never imagine how afraid I was...

at the thought...

of Grandfather suddenly announcing that.

That's why you are relaxed enough to drink liquor...

even after Do Jun became...

the largest shareholder of Soonyang Corporation...

and enjoy the feeling of being a loser.

Even if Do Jun is now the largest shareholder,

nothing changes.

What can he do?

As long as I have the management rights,

he can't even move the board of directors as he likes.

The world has changed, Father.

The world where corporate existed...

to earn money for the owner is over.

It's a world...

where darn stakeholders' rights and profit are more important.

Do Jun will try to exercise all rights he has...

as the largest shareholder.

- Do Jun. - Mr. Oh.

Why are you back in the office? Did something happen?

Are you guys getting off work now?

We should get off work before 12am for the 1st time in 2 months.

My family came to visit from the US.

I see.

What's that in your hand?

Champagne?

It's a day worth celebrating.

I became the largest shareholder of Soonyang Corporation.

I'm fine.

Don't mind me and go home.

- Young expat. - Yes.

- So you knew how to celebrate. - Sorry?

I thought you lived each day...

as if you were catching up on homework.

I see.

Let's have a party...

after you get the management rights of Soonyang Corporation.

Let's do it then.

Sure thing. Goodbye.

Don't tell me you're going to stay in the office like this.

- Sorry? - Don't do that. Call her.

"It's a special day, so I want to drink champagne with you."

There's someone you want to meet on a day like this, right?

I'll be off first.

- You can do it. - Thank you.

- Bye. - Bye.

(Soonyang Group)

It feels better...

to be alone.

- Here you go. - Thank you.

- Bye. - Thank you.

You're welcome.

(Art Gallery Yard Opened)

You're back now?

It's late.

You were still awake?

I couldn't see you halfway...

through your grandfather's memorial service,

so I was worried that you left in a hurry because of work.

I thought you might be hungry, so I waited to cook for you.

Go wash quickly.

I'm sorry, Mother.

You should go sleep now. I'm good at cleaning up too.

Goodness. I know you're neat,

but sometimes I wondered...

whether I was raising a son or a boarder.

Were you upset?

I was worried.

I pray every day.

For my neat and organized son...

to live with someone...

who can reach out to you as if it's nothing...

when you're having a tough time,

and you can open up to them...

without becoming embarrassed.

It will get cold. You must be hungry. Eat up.

Okay.

Mother.

I have someone.

What?

I met someone...

like that.

- He's here! - That's him.

Did the presidential candidate himself demand the funds?

Did he promise something in return?

Do you admit to threatening companies to...

Prosecutors subpoenaed Sinmin Party's...

legal advisor lawyer Kang Sin Woo...

who collected illegal campaign funds...

from companies for the opposition.

The times are telling us...

to sever the unhealthy ties between politics and business...

to become more transparent...

and make a leap toward becoming a mature democracy.

The Ministry of Justice and the Prosecutors' Office...

promise the public we'll give our all to investigate...

the illegal campaign funds.

There is no political division when it comes to this matter.

There will be no sacred ground either.

All that there will be is the fair...

and just fight for the truth.

Minister of Justice Choi Chang Je invoked his authority...

and expanded the illegal campaign fund investigation...

to include not just opposition,

but most notable persons in politics and finance.

Minister Choi voiced his determination...

to sever the ties of politics...

and eliminate corruption...

through a stern investigation without limits.

Politicians and businessmen alike...

strongly oppose the investigation.

It's to be seen whether Minister Choi...

can and will get his way.

Goodness, Chang Je.

You came all this way at this time of day.

To think we got to bother someone high up and busy.

We're so spoiled.

I'm always at the beck and call of the people here.

It was like that for 30 years.

Uncle. We need to prepare to deal with the prosecutors.

End it with a simple investigation behind closed doors.

Shouldn't you do that much for us?

You should read the papers.

I told prosecution to investigate thoroughly,

and that there is to be no sacred ground.

If I let your family off,

it's as good as an admission that prosecutors are not impartial.

You won't have to worry much.

Even if we find something that suggests you paid someone,

if you can make it look like an insurance policy...

without an incentive,

you can avoid any sentences.

Oh, what the prosecutors will focus on...

is where the funds came from.

How the funds were procured and whether it was illegal.

But no one hides that better than the Soonyang family.

You're all experts at that.

Chang Je.

Wait.

I need to speak with you urgently.

If it's about the investigation,

what I just told you is all I can say.

Come on now, Chang Je.

Listen.

It's not about me, you see.

I have this huge sense of guilt.

As an uncle, I introduced my nephew...

to a very bad person.

The opposing party's legal advisor Kang Sin Woo...

received 15 million dollars in cash from a large company...

during the presidential campaign and passed it to...

We're from the Central Investigation Division.

Are you Jin Do Jun?

Yes. What can I do for you?

You're under emergency arrest for the illegal handover...

of political funds to Kang Sin Woo.

Can I have a look?

It's not a subpoena for an investigation...

but an arrest warrant?

The prosecutor issued one as you could destroy evidence...

or attempt to flee abroad.

(Central Investigation Bureau)

(Interrogation Room)

Mr. Jin?

I'm Seo Min Yeong with the Central Investigation Bureau.

Take a seat.

We meet again like this,

as a prosecutor and a suspect.

His arrest under exigent circumstances...

is a good sign for us.

The investigation will keep Do Jun occupied for a while.

It would be even better for us if he's found guilty and sentenced.

The person who gave ten million dollars in funds...

to the opposition's likely winner.

Was it you, Jin Do Jun?

You arrested me without a warrant.

Doesn't that mean you already have proof I can't deny or refute?

I had you arrested under exigent circumstances...

was because you'd likely...

destroy evidence or flee the country.

You helped a likely suspect who abetted murder...

go abroad once before.

That's Sinmin Party's legal advisor Kang Sin Woo's statement.

Through Miracle Investment's Director Jin Do Jun's...

personal assistant Ha In Seok,

he received ten million dollars in cash.

We found Ha's number in Kang's call history.

In the Yeouido apartment basement level parking lot...

that Kang used as a rendezvous spot,

we spotted Ha's car.

He was subpoenaed and is being questioned...

as a witness as we speak.

Are you Miracle Investment's Assistant Manager Ha In Seok?

Yes.

You're here to give a statement as a witness.

I understand.

Do you know Director Jin Do Jun?

- Yes, I do. - Did he...

instruct you to pass to Kang...

- any political funds? - Assistant Manager Ha.

He will do anything you say.

Isn't this...

proof that you can't deny or refute?

Did Mr. Ha say...

I told him to give Kang...

political funds?

The people are raving about the investigation.

If the prosecution finds Do Jun guilty,

Miracle's plan to steal...

Soonyang's management rights will go bust.

Would you be okay with that?

Would I be okay?

That's why I rushed over. Out of regret and guilt.

Soonyang Corporation's board.

This is an X-File of sorts on them.

Use this to replace them...

with people who are friendly to you.

Can Soonyang Corporation find out...

you gave such a thing to me?

That's what I want.

I want rumours to spread that the Soonyang brothers are fighting.

That way, Soonyang Corporation's stock price will skyrocket.

Daeyoung Group's chairman's sons also fought,

and when their stock price rose, in just one month,

they made 300 million dollars.

Do the math.

How much more do you think we could make through Soonyang?

- "We?" - That profit.

You and I...

can split it.

You make a nice profit...

and with that, I'll buy Soonyang Corporation's shares.

You really are as good at math as I heard.

In the end, money is what makes the world turn.

I think so too.

Okay! We should meet more often. You and I, real grown-ups.

Goodbye.

When I first met Do Jun seven years ago,

the young man who was still in his teens said he'd buy Soonyang.

I should tell you why I risked my whole career...

to move to Korea based on...

that absurd statement.

On the New York Stock Exchange, if companies are at a similar level,

and one is Korean, it goes for a lower price.

I know that much. It's called the Korea Discount.

Then you must also know the reason...

for the Korea Discount is that companies are handed down.

It's like selecting a national team athlete...

based on the sole fact of whether their parents were medallists,

regardless of how competitive they are...

in the international market.

What is it you want to say?

Management ability isn't improved by keeping it in the family.

Korea needs to see that.

Do Jun and us, in Miracle's name...

No.

With Miracle's money, we are striving to prove it.

Because what keeps the world turning...

is money in the end.

I wonder...

if you'll still have this swagger when Do Jun is sentenced.

The Minister of Justice controls the Prosecutors' Office.

That same Minister of Justice...

is under the control of this finger.

My finger.

This is so humiliating!

Didn't I warn you?

That the risk of disgrace is high today...

and you should watch what you say.

This is all your fault.

If I had ignored you and not bought Soonyang Card,

would I be humiliated by a guy from who knows where?

Your soul and divinity aren't as clear as they used to be.

Shouldn't you find a spring deep in some mountain...

and reconnect with the spirits?

The fund you invested in as I suggested...

made the highest profit of its kind.

Darn it.

I get why...

you trusted Mr. Baek so much, Dad.

And why the fortunes you tell are so accurate.

Your average rate of return is 200 percent.

- What? - To ensure that profit,

you've been embezzling.

(Proof of Baek Dong Min's Embezzlement)

Sir, will you let me explain first?

Mr. Baek.

How about you foretell your own future now?

Do you think I'll fire you or not?

I understand your point very well.

You won't be able to avoid the legal repercussions.

Keep that in mind.

Here's one last piece of advice, sir.

This month's fortune shows betrayal and scorn from a government office.

Beware the people around you and always be cautious.

Scorn? Betrayal?

I should believe that?

I'm just a messenger.

You are the one who eventually determines your fate.

Whether you believe me or not is utterly up to you.

(Vice-Chairman Jin Dong Ki)

My goodness.

The Prosecutors' Office has never been...

so loved or supported...

by the public in all its history.

As Minister of Justice and a one-time prosecutor,

I am extremely proud.

I owe it to you all.

This is our opportunity.

If we're to build up on it,

we need something to show for.

Something that'll convince the people...

that the Central Investigation Bureau really did...

take the plunge and investigate thoroughly.

You're investigating Soonyang's late chairman's grandson?

Yes, sir.

If you want to get a warrant issued within the 48 hours you have him...

Gosh, you need to hurry, then.

Hang on.

Drink this and speed up the investigation.

Don't you complain I put your junior over you...

because I offered her a beverage first.

And if you feel pressure because your suspect is...

related to me by marriage, don't.

I understand.

I want you to investigate thoroughly so that...

there can be no suspicions.

Dig deep into anyone who's involved.

If anyone refuses to come in,

call me immediately, okay?

Yes, sir.

I need to know...

where Ha In Seok went before and after that day.

Get me a detailed timeline of who he met.

Okay.

So I can pinpoint who instructed the funds be transferred.

"Who instructed the transfer?"

That means you think...

Jin Do Jun is not guilty.

He's not the type to end up being investigated so easily.

I get the idea he could've been set up.

I found it.

The person who instructed Ha In Seok.

(Prosecutor Seo Min Yeong)

This is security footage from Miracle Investment's basement.

The boxes of cash Kang Sin Woo received.

We got the face of the man who passed them to Ha In Seok.

Find this person...

and bring him in.

Hello?

What? I understand.

Ms. Seo. You should go to the interrogation room.

He said he'll confess.

That he told Ha In Seok to pass on the funds.

He wants to confess.

Why does he want to confess now?

He said he'll confess to everything.

In return for leniency.

You'll confess to telling Ha In Seok to pass on...

the illegal funds?

To pass the ten million dollars...

to Sinmin Party's advisor Kang Sin Woo.

It was my request.

Was it your intention...

to pass on the funds?

Of course not.

I obeyed my employer,

Soonyang Group's Vice-Chairman Jin Dong Ki,

and did as was told.

I don't get it.

Instead of Soonyang's numerous employees,

you got Miracle's Director Jin's assistant to do the job?

Ha In Seok was an informant the vice-chairman...

had sent to spy on Director Jin Do Jun.

Since he started at Miracle and until now,

whenever Vice-Chairman Jin Dong Ki called,

he would come to the office.

Check the visitor log.

It should show when he came by.

Then the ten million dollars Ha passed on...

wasn't Jin Do Jun's money?

Was it a slush fund Jin Dong Ki had stashed away?

This shows...

where the money came from.

It's all as he said.

Ha In Seok worked for Jin Dong Ki...

for five years as outsourced help.

There are also records of him visiting Jin Dong Ki...

late at night after being called.

It's as you said.

How did you know?

That Jin Do Jun was set up.

That he wouldn't have been brought in easily.

You said you thought he was framed.

He was set up,

but I don't know by whom.

He's denying all the charges?

He's just repeating what his lawyer said.

Like a broken record.

The situation is slightly different...

from the other businessmen we questioned.

Other people can get off by pleading...

they fear politicians and their power.

But we can prove he used Soonyang Investment...

and Insurance's clients' accounts to create the slush fund.

We even have a witness.

This guy...

can't avoid being sentenced.

How are the other companies different?

How can political funds not have any incentive?

Chairmen who give tens of millions don't want anything in return?

Isn't that the equivalent of blind love?

Love stories like that rarely exist nowadays.

I bet people don't even donate with that mindset.

You're on edge.

Is it because you're not making progress with the grandson...

of the late Chairman Jin?

When was he brought in?

Vice-Chairman Jin Dong Ki...

is stubbornly denying he had Ha In Seok...

pass on the funds.

But the circumstances Mr. Baek told us about...

were all proven true.

I did consider you were set up.

Ever since you stood before me as a suspect.

I'm surprised.

I thought you wouldn't believe me.

I didn't say I believed you.

That means I haven't yet concluded...

if you were set up or if you did the setting up.

My husband Dong Ki.

What if he ends up in prison?

You know what he's like.

He's too sensitive to survive that.

Prison cells these days are like hotel suites.

Because of stupid human rights,

our tax money is getting wasted.

Young Ki.

Thirty years ago, when life was hard and things were worse,

many people did time and survived just fine.

Dong Ki didn't put together those funds on his own.

Could you please give the President a call?

He knows and I know the opposing candidate got...

fives times more than what we gave him.

I don't dare ask for a favour.

Would you want to help us if you were him?

Tell Dong Ki that...

when the wind is harsh,

it helps to learn from the reeds on how to lie low.

I will tell him that.

That you have no intention of helping him.

Ji Na. You're worried about Dong Ki, aren't you?

I feel worse for you.

You never suffered a day in your life,

and now you must care for an inmate husband.

That's no easy feat.

I've done it myself,

and at least I was young at the time.

You're talking about that even before he stood trial?

Why?

You might as well pray he goes away!

My goodness...

That's a mental illness too.

Everyone suffers every now and then, and she acts like the sky fell.

Goodness.

You did the right thing, Father.

This investigation into what uncle did...

exposed all the slush funds he has.

Once he coughs it all up,

he won't dare to mess with you or try to steal your position again.

You should take him back under your wing then.

Don't worry about us.

We're fully prepared to deal with the prosecutors.

All right.

I can't get anything done without you, Seong Jun.

What? Learn from the wisdom of the reeds?

Darn it.

They want me out of this fight...

and are trying to use this as an opportunity to do just that.

You see, this... I'm telling you.

Seong Jun is coaching him.

What do you think the prosecutors are up to?

The Central Investigation Bureau and Cheongwadae are on the same page.

They need a trophy, so they want to reform the conglomerates.

Conglomerates such as...

Soonyang?

If they need a trophy...

The bigger, the better. Right?

Wouldn't you say Soonyang Corporation...

is the one that represents Soonyang Group?

Okay. Keep me updated.

I'm sorry to visit you so early in the morning, sir.

Something urgent has come up.

I just received a call.

The prosecution has launched search and seizure operations...

against Soonyang Corporation.

Prosecutors are acting a little too late.

Even if they raid the office,

they won't find anything.

- Right, Seong Jun? - Yes.

Not the Soonyang Corporation office.

They raided the loan sharks in Myeong-dong.

- Myeong-dong? - Yes, sir.

The loan sharks? Why?

I think the prosecutors obtained info on the accounts...

and shares you bought under borrowed names through them.

Looks like they also know you used the campaign fund to buy the bond.

The warrant was issued...

for the office owned by Ms. Son's family.

How did the prosecutors find out about them?

We used that dirty money...

to buy out all of Soonyang Corporation shares...

to turn my husband into the chairman.

I'm so sorry, Seong Jun.

This is all my fault.

The search and seizure operations...

have revealed that Soonyang Corporation...

used borrowed-name accounts set up through a loan shark...

Ji Na, how dare you?

How could you do this to your family?

Even if you do this, Soonyang will never become your husband's!

Earlier today, the prosecution...

- secured evidence that Soonyang... - Blood is thicker than water.

But I suppose money flows...

in the veins of these conglomerate families.

I mean, what is this? They're brothers.

But thanks to Jin Dong Ki's statement,

we could launch the investigation into their slush fund.

Why should we thank Jin Dong Ki?

It was all thanks to Jin Do Jun.

Because of his arrest, we were able...

to launch the investigation into Soonyang Group's slush fund.

("Soonyang Family Suspected of Setting Up Eight-Figure Slush Fund")

You look like you've reached a conclusion.

Was this all part of your plan from the get-go?

To make us investigate Jin Young Ki and Jin Dong Ki,

you deliberately fell into this trap.

The prosecution, media, and even Cheongwadae have got their back,

whereas I'm all I've got.

Do you really have to do all this to make Soonyang yours?

Min Yeong, I've never once forgotten...

the reason I was born into this family...

and how Jin Young Ki, Jin Dong Ki,

and Jin Seong Jun treated me.

So you have no choice since you were born into the family?

You'll do whatever it takes to make company yours?

You don't care if you're breaking or manipulating the law?

You're wrong.

I'll never be such a conglomerate CEO.

You told me...

that I'd become even more spiteful once Soonyang became mine.

That's why we broke up. Am I right?

Let's start over, Min Yeong.

I promise you I won't get worse.

The 48-hour period has now ended.

So you don't believe me.

Fine.

Don't believe me, then.

Believe in luck instead.

("Aiming to Be First Female Weightlifter to Win Medal")

When Jang Mi Ran wins the silver medal,

we'll meet again.

- Mr. Ha, are you all right? - Yes.

- This must've been stressful. - No.

This is my job. I get paid to do this, so don't worry.

- Let's go. - Yes, let's go.

Mr. Oh, you're here too.

This isn't "Records of the Three Kingdoms."

This is the 21st century.

Sacrificing yourself to earn trust? Seriously?

This is a man we've worked with since your grandfather's days.

Call him.

(Apple)

Hello.

I need to fax this to someone.

(Proof of Baek Dong Min's Embezzlement)

Sure.

(Proof of Baek Dong Min's Embezzlement)

We received an anonymous letter about Mr. Baek's embezzlement.

In the near future, I plan to report to the prosecution...

that Vice-Chairman Jin Dong Ki has been setting up...

an illegal slush fund, using dormant accounts...

at Soonyang Investment and Soonyang Insurance.

Then Soonyang will do what they've always done.

They'll make you take the fall for everything, Mr. Baek.

I'm giving you a chance to get out of it before they make a move.

Being Soonyang's largest shareholder doesn't mean we own it.

We need the management rights to truly own Soonyang.

Is it time for Minister Choi Chang Je to play his role?

("Prosecution Investigating Soonyang's Illegal Slush Fund")

What are you doing?

They were investigating the illegal campaign fund.

Why are they suddenly after Soonyang's slush fund?

You see, Young Ki...

When you're critically ill,

wondering where and how you contracted the disease...

while doing nothing about it will just get you killed.

You must undergo surgery or treatment first.

I learned this at a summer Bible camp when I was young.

After praying that he would offer his own child as a sacrifice...

if the Lord was angered,

he killed a lamb instead.

The blood gushing out of its neck...

helped appease the Lord's anger.

The head of Soonyang shall stand in front of the cameras.

He shall be on his knees in front of the entire nation,

enduring all the humiliation and finger-pointing covered in blood,

gushing out of his body.

Yes.

As you're already aware, the prosecution will summon...

those in charge of finance as witnesses.

We should discuss it in advance so our story remains consistent.

Is that really necessary?

The Director of Finance should be held accountable.

Right, Mr. Kim?

Well, I'll be honoured. It'll be like another star on my shoulder.

However, public opinion won't approve of it.

The slush fund was created for the succession plans.

Who'd believe that I called the shots?

Shouldn't calming public opinion be our priority at the moment?

We need to show that the company is taking responsibility.

Okay, so who should do it?

Mr. Jin. If you step in and get things sorted out,

the executives will no longer be shaken up by this situation.

Mr. Chairman, what are your thoughts on this?

I can't do anything without you.

So if one of us had to stand before the people...

to represent Soonyang,

it should be you, Seong Jun.

Don't you agree, Seong Jun?

"Saturn Devouring His Son."

It's a painting by Francisco Goya.

Impressive, isn't it?

The father in the painting heard a prophecy...

that predicted he would be overthrown by his son.

Of course, he didn't want to lose what he had.

- That's why the father... - So?

Are you trying to say that I'm the son in this painting?

Are you not?

Why are you showing me this painting right now?

Are you getting a kick out of seeing me in this mess? Are you satisfied?

Do you wish to display me in your gallery or something?

I guess...

all you can see is the son getting eaten alive.

Were the succession plans the reason Soonyang Group...

set up the illegal slush fund?

Soonyang Group is the number one company in Korea.

What are your thoughts on the company working with a loan shark?

Some say that you'll be the one...

dealing with the legal consequences on behalf of Mr. Jin Young Ki.

What are your thoughts on this?

(Prosecution Service)

That is not true.

The person who should be held accountable for the slush fund...

(Jin Seong Jun of Soonyang Venture Investment Summoned by Prosecution)

is my father, Vice-Chairman Jin Young Ki.

My father told me...

that it was his duty to represent Soonyang.

I will follow his teachings...

and cooperate fully and faithfully with the investigation.

- Are you denying responsibility... - Do you not admit the charges?

- Just a comment, please. - What about the fund for...

Later on, the father saves his son...

whom he had swallowed, thanks to his children's wisdom.

Then the son kills his father...

and ascends the throne.

That's why I'm showing you this painting.

What an ingrate.

How dare you stab your father in the back?

You're no longer my son. Get out.

Get out!

Father, do you think you can protect Soonyang without me?

Without the help from me and Grandfather,

you would've struggled to keep your position.

Just cooperate with the investigation...

and transfer your shares to me when you have a moment.

I'll handle Do Jun.

You'll handle Do Jun?

He thinks you're no match for him.

(Interrogation Room)

What happened at the board meeting?

I am sorry, sir.

Seong Jun must be...

devastated.

Here, sir. You should see this.

("Soonyang's Jin Do Jun Puts Noblesse Oblige Into Practice")

Jin Do Jun of Miracle Investment,

a third-generation member of the Soonyang family,

has announced that he will be donating...

the 700 million dollars he inherited...

from Jin Yang Cheol, the late chairman of the company.

Vice-Chairman Jin Young Ki and Jin Dong Ki are currently...

facing severe public criticism...

due to the illegal slush fund and inheritance tax evasion,

the dignity of true wealth.

His popularity among the public...

is also helping Soonyang Group improve its public image,

contributing to the increase of the company's sales and stock price.

Everyone loves him, regardless of age or gender.

(Soonyang History Museum)

(Founder Jin Yang Cheol)

I told you...

that I'd buy Soonyang no matter what.

I kept my promise, Grandfather.

(Founder Jin Yang Cheol)

I'm curious, Grandfather.

Did I get my revenge?

Or...

can I finally call myself your grandson now?

But one thing's for sure.

Right now,

I miss you.

Yes, she'll keep going.

- Yes. - Round 3, 172.5.

All right, Jang Mi Ran.

This is Round 3. She'll go for 172.5kg this time.

- Yes. - Yes!

Oh, wait.

Ma'am, I guess you didn't watch this last night.

Yesterday, Jang Mi Ran...

Hush.

When Jang Mi Ran wins the silver medal,

we'll meet again.

Nice. She can totally do this.

That's it. Now, the jerk.

Yes! She got it!

- She got it! - She did it!

- Yes! - She did it.

When she participates in the Beijing 2008 Summer Olympics,

let's get married.

By the time she's participating in the London 2012 Summer Olympics...

Yes.

We'd probably have a kid by then, right?

I want to stay right by your side like that, Min Yeong.

Let's do that.

It's time to meet, right?

Yes.

Just wait there, Min Yeong. I'm on my way.

Should we go around it?

Oh, I guess there's something wrong with the car.

Let's wait a few moments.

Yes, sir.

The rule had no exceptions.

Everything that happened in my previous life...

happened again in this lifetime,

without exception.

And...

the person who killed me...

was none other than myself.
