BENEATH THE PARADISE

You dropped your book.

Thank you. You're very kind.

Isn't this Park Ki Woong's art book?

Oh, yes. I love his work.

So do I.

I really wanted to go to his Seoul exhibition last year.

But I didn't get to go. How was it?

Oh, I bet it was great.

I haven't seen his work in person yet.

I hope you go next time.

I think he's holding one next year.

I'm definitely going.

I'm going, no matter what.

- How about another glass of wine? - Sure.

May we have some more wine?

Of course, sir.

PASSENGER TERMINAL 2

I don't think we've exchanged names yet. We got on well, didn't we?

We did.

No time like the present. I'm Jang Kyojin.

- Taera. - I'm...

Jaehyun.

Pyo Jaehyun?

Oh, Kyojin.

You back from a business trip? What are the chances?

I know, right?

You two know each other?

This is Dojin's brother.

Well, what are the chances?

So are you two…

- We... - This is my girlfriend, Kyojin.

- Jaehyun? - That's me finally asking you out.

Actually, I wanted to make it official today. You will accept, yes?

EPISODE 10

HACKING SYSTEM

Was this press conference necessary?

Didn't we already know Dojin left Hatch to take over Kumjo?

Ko Haesoo actually called for this press conference.

I wonder what she wanted to say.

By the looks of it, it's as if Jang prevented his wife from speaking.

I think there's something else at play.

Exactly. I don't get it.

- Let's just go. - Let's.

The phone is switched off. Please leave a message after the tone.

Mr. Uhm?

Hey, what the hell? You bastard.

Haesoo.

Haesoo, wake up.

Haesoo.

Taera?

Haesoo. Ko Haesoo!

Haesoo, wake up! Ko Haesoo!

Ko Haesoo! Haesoo.

You little...

MISSION COMPLETE

She'll be sent to the Philippines.

There, she'll be shipped off to a godforsaken island.

Nobody will ever find her.

Dojin won't cause trouble either.

We know how much he loves Haesoo.

He'd be too ashamed to face her.

His marriage ended the moment he chose his father over her.

Just make up a story.

He knows she'd never reach out first anyway.

He won't dig too deep.

Now that Kim Seondeok's dead and Ko Haesoo's been taken care of,

That bastard Mr. Jo is our one last loose end.

Do you trust Hong Taera?

Apparently, she tried to kill you.

She'll never abandon me.

We have a shared past, not to mention our daughter Jiu.

She may be confused for now,

but she'll come around in time.

Don't breathe a word of this.

Don't worry, sir. I saw nothing today.

Take care of Haesoo.

- You're not coming with us? - I have to stop by somewhere.

Oh, man.

Oh, geez.

What?

Director, you haven't sent the presentation report yet.

Tomorrow's the submission deadline.

Oh, right. Damn it.

Wait.

Did I leave it at the special lab?

You sure it's there?

It's confidential. It can't be leaked.

Shall I go now and check?

Hey, hey. One sec.

Geez. For goodness' sake.

I'm sure I brought it here.

What the hell?

Block all exits. Dispatch every security employee we have. Everyone!

Stop them!

Oh, what's going on?

Sungchan knows.

Wait, I have to shut down the security system.

SECURITY SYSTEM DISARMED

To the lab! Hurry!

Emergency exit is locked. Is there another way out?

We lost access to the system, but we're bypassing the firewall now.

What about Ms. Hong?

I sent her a text. She hasn't replied yet.

Kyojin.

Can you open the freight elevator?

Yes, ma'am.

He wakes up after seven years and hacks Hatch security?

How is that possible?

Shit.

Hold on a little longer.

Let's go.

Don't move!

Basement level 3. Target's esca...

- Sorry I'm late. Let's get out of here. - Taera.

By the freight elevator!

Will you be okay?

Hang in there.

I apologize for calling last minute. I owe you one again.

Why are you moving him in such a hurry?

Sungchan might've had something to do with Kyojin's accident.

Sungchan?

Thank you so much, Taera.

I'll be in touch soon.

We'll be seeing you.

Shit. Damn it.

Go home.

And don't you dare come back!

If you do, I'll kill you all myself. Get out!

Get out of my face! I said out!

Everybody, out!

Geez. Damn it.

Damn, it's hot. Shit.

Looks like Kyojin breached my security program.

How's that pos...

RETURN HATCH TO ME. WHERE IS SUJEONG?

If he escaped like this, it means he was conscious all along,

which means he was watching us the entire time.

Kyojin, you okay?

I'm fine now.

- When is Dr. Hwang arriving? - He'll be here soon.

I've sent the chairman's men home, so you can rest at ease.

What does that mean? Something happen between you two?

Kummo had a stroke.

He hasn't woken up since his operation.

Is he in a critical state?

It's a fitting retribution for the pain he inflicted on others his whole life.

You don't need to treat him like a father anymore.

How could you…

How could you do this to me?

13 YEARS AGO

No, Haesoo! Haesoo!

What's gotten into you?

I can't remember Mom and Dad's faces.

I want to die.

I just want to die.

Don't... No, Haesoo.

I... I'll help you get better.

Let's keep living, Haesoo, together.

I'll protect you, no matter what. Whatever happens, I will protect you.

Really? You'll always be by my side?

Yes.

Dojin.

Dojin.

What happened?

Why are you here?

I saw Mr. Uhm kidnap you, so I followed him.

You feeling okay? You hurt anywhere?

Don't worry. No one knows you're here.

I didn't even contact Dojin.

- Dojin tried to have me killed. - No.

The man who tried to kill you is Jaehyun.

Mr. Uhm dragged me out while Dojin just stood there.

I saw that bastard betray me with my own eyes.

Jaehyun blackmailed him

because he knows Chairman Jang put out the hit on your father.

You…

You knew all along?

The sniper who shot your father…

No. 50, the killer you've been seeking for so long…

is me, Haesoo.

I'm sorry.

So this is where you brought my brother to test the smart patch, huh?

You two tricked me?

Your stepmother gave her approval.

That's beside the point, damn it.

What were you going to do if something happened to him?

Your brother walked out of here with his own two feet.

You're welcome for that. Geez.

That's irrelevant now.

Kyojin regained his consciousness and physical strength long ago.

But he kept that to himself. Why do you think he did that?

Because he doesn't trust us.

Because he doubts us.

RETURN HATCH TO ME. WHERE IS SUJEONG?

No, Sujeong's accident that day is a secret only among us.

Nobody knows but us.

You know what Kyojin's like.

If he's suspicious of us,

it's his way of saying he'll find out the truth about that day soon enough,

and that he's taking Hatch back.

He'd been listening in on all of our conversations.

Even the ones about Sujeong.

Why do you all look so nervous?

Sujeong.

7 YEARS AGO

Hey, looks like you're the one who's nervous.

It's my first time participating as a test subject,

so I'm pretty nervous.

Thanks for making such a big decision. By the way, you're looking pretty today.

Hey, so did Kyojin really give you the green light?

I think he mentioned how human trials needed a few modifications.

Of course he did.

You know just as well how much of a perfectionist he is.

Hey, we had a few successful simulations. There's no need to worry.

More importantly,

let's get you out of that wheelchair so you can assist Kyojin again.

Hatch is launching soon, you know.

If this experiment succeeds, you better buy us a nice big meal.

You got this.

- Go, go, go! - Let's do this!

Go, go, go!

Okay, let's begin.

Injection complete.

How do you feel, huh?

- You okay? - Yeah, it's bearable.

Okay.

Neural connection complete.

Now we're going to send neural signals to stimulate your motor nerves.

Your brain will transduce the signals, send it to the spine,

and move your paralyzed legs.

It may hurt depending on the stimulation level. Just let us know.

We'll start from level ten.

Here we go.

Feel anything? Can you try moving your legs?

I can't move them.

Really?

Sungchan, can you raise the stimulation level just a bit?

- Okay. I'll raise it to 20. - Okay.

How about now?

Wow! Wow.

Sh... She just moved, right?

- Wow. - Sujeong.

We'll gradually amp up stimulation. You'll be walking in no time.

But it hurts a little. Do you think I'll be okay?

Hey, toughen up! This means you can walk again.

He's right! Hey, I'll just amp it up to 40, yeah?

- Okay. - Okay, okay.

She moved!

She's moving!

- Hey, hey! Get the walker! - Hey, Dojin! Quick!

- Here. - Wait, wait.

Sujeong, can you try standing with this?

- Okay. - We'll help you.

- Yes, lean on us. - Let's try.

- Okay. One, two, three. - One, two, three.

- Put your hand here. - Your hand. Hand.

- You got it. - Good, good.

- Here we go. - Sujeong, give it all you got, huh?

Hey, I'll take the stimulation up to 60.

- That's it. - Hey, something doesn't feel right!

- Well… - I can't hold it much longer! Let's stop!

It's probably just an immune response, like a temporary paralysis.

- That's right. - Let's take it all the way up.

- Let's see how much she moves then. - Okay.

- Raising it to 80. Sujeong, here we go. - Okay.

- Oh, it's working! - Go, go, go!

Keep it up!

Yes! She's moving!

I... I can't hold it anymore! Please turn it off!

I can't hold it!

Hey, stop being selfish...

Sujeong.

Su...

Wait, I... I don't think she's breathing.

Wh... What the hell do you mean?

What the hell? Is she really dead?

Hey! We're in trouble.

- Kyojin's coming here now. - What? Why, all of a sudden?

- How should I know? - Hey, hey! Calm down.

- Clean this up first. - Hey, clean up, quick!

- Oh, man. - Shit.

What the hell was he thinking? Why did he raise it all the way to...

Hey, hey. Hey, douchebag.

What did you just say, huh? You saying this is my fault?

Hey, you're the one who raised the stimulation all the way up.

I raised it up? I did?

Wow, you're driving me up the wall.

Jaehyun, that joker, kept egging me on to raise it to the max, right?

Ignoring her pain because it's an immune response is his fault?

Hey, you think you're being funny?

Shall we check the recording and see who's at fault?

So what is it you want to say?

We started this behind Kyojin's back, but nobody expected this to happen, right?

We need to get rid of the body quickly. Wasting time won't help us.

We deleted the surveillance footage, and we agreed on a story.

Nobody will suspect us now, okay?

Don't you know what Kyojin is like?

- We'll never be able to hide this. - What the hell are you suggesting?

Get in. Let's tell the cops. Let's go to the police and...

Hey, let go of me, punk!

Once Father finds out, it'll be the end of me, for real.

Wow, I'm so sick of your shit. You selfish bastard.

- You think this only affects you? - Hey, hey. Be quiet.

INCOMING CALL KYOJIN

What do we do?

Pick up... No, don't pick up.

I think I'm going to lose my mind.

If he finds out,

he'll kick us out of the team... No, he'll call the police on us.

Hey, what if we all go to jail for murder?

- Just shut up, you jackass. - I'm picking up.

- Yes, Kyojin. - Hey, Jaehyun.

You with the others? I can't seem to reach them.

Oh, we had drinks at my house. They're asleep now.

Drinking the night before off-roading?

Did you happen to see Sujeong?

Sujeong?

No, I haven't. Are you at the lab now?

Yeah, I can't reach her. She's not at the lab either.

You should just head on home. I'll make sure they show up tomorrow.

Of course, they're looking forward to it.

Yes, see you tomorrow.

Hey... Hey, have you gone insane? We're going for real?

What about th... Sujeong?

Say we don't go.

What sudden excuse can the three of us come up with?

It'll only look more suspicious. We have to take care of this anyway.

The thing is, it doesn't have to be all three of us.

Whoever comes in last tomorrow takes full responsibility.

What do you say?

Hold on, the brakes aren't working...

All on board with today's bet?

In return, take this secret to the grave.

Whoever comes in last takes full responsibility.

You?

You came in first?

Y... You didn't check up on your brother?

Geez, I'm going now. I'm sure he'll be fine.

Hey, listen. Be sure you tell Jaehyun I came in first, okay?

Boy, was he hell-bent on winning.

Wait a minute.

How is Jaehyun last place?

That day, Jaehyun never made it to the peak

because he was looking for Kyojin.

Jaehyun reported it too, no?

While this schmuck of a brother gave it all to be first.

None of us knew how serious his accident was.

Also, didn't you reach the peak too? What right do you have to criticize me?

Well, he wasn't my brother.

Honestly, didn't you think the accident was really strange?

You still think I did it?

Well, aren't you the one who benefited the most from it?

You became the chairman of Kumjo.

One more word, and I'll kill you myself.

Hey, hey, hey!

Get it together. There's no time to bicker.

The future of Hatch hangs on the human smart patch presentation.

We have to stop Kyojin, no matter what. Got it?

I've worked too hard to build Hatch. I'd never let Kyojin take it away.

Besides, whoever came in last that day was to take responsibility for Sujeong.

Jaehyun, what did you do with her?

Now you want to know?

Don't worry. I took care of her.

Kyojin will never find her.

His suspicions will only end up being speculations.

So all you have to do is to get the presentation ready.

And you, whatever the cost, will stop Kyojin from appearing in public.

You'll need to protect Kumjo Group, no?

Jang Dojin.

Guess you're not so concerned about Haesoo?

I was ready to tell you if you asked.

You don't even seem curious.

I heard from Mr. Uhm.

Keep your promise that you'll send her abroad without harming a hair on her head.

Hey, I care about Haesoo too.

Don't you worry.

Just keep a close eye on Kyojin, and keep me updated.

Pyo Jaehyun made you into Hong Taera?

He knew everything all along,

that I was the killer and that Jang Kummo was the mastermind.

He knew, and yet he brought you to me and watched you get married to Dojin.

It's all a part of Pyo Jaehyun's revenge plot against Jang Kummo.

We were all his pawns.

You expect me to believe this bullshit?

After I recovered my memory,

I had to find out who made me Hong Taera.

I recently figured out it was my husband.

I'm sorry, Haesoo.

I knew that you were coping with so much pain.

Sorry to tell you this now.

Stop making excuses.

You think I'll ever forgive you for killing my father?

You're a murderer.

My mother also died because of you.

You turned my life into a living hell!

Why'd you do it?

Why did you kill my dad?

Why did you come into my life?

Why were you so kind to me?

Why did you let me trust you?

Why did you make me like you? Why?

If you tell me to leave, I will.

If you tell me to die, I'll die.

I'll do whatever you tell me to do.

I'm so sorry, Haesoo.

You're not going anywhere.

What makes you think I'll forgive you so easily?

I spent the last 15 years in hell, and you're just going to die?

Not a chance.

You will suffer like I did.

All my pain and sadness…

You will learn how it feels when you can't end your own life.

You will go back to Jaehyun.

You will continue to live as Taera and experience hell on earth.

You will wait for me until I decide your punishment.

I pray for your misery.

I want each passing minute to be painful and agonizing.

You will not laugh, cry, or even die without my explicit permission.

And if you run…

you'll only wish you were dead.

Is Ko Haesoo awake?

Yeah.

Thanks for the help earlier.

These are files on Kim Seondeok from the Hanwool annex data.

As we expected, there are records of Pyo Jaehyun and Director Kim's deal.

Continue as planned.

And be careful.

So what happens next?

I have to take the fall to tear down Jaehyun.

I won't be a coward to protect myself anymore.

If you're cooperating with the man you once tried to kill,

you must be getting something extraordinary from Jaehyun.

Perhaps, the CEO position at Hatch?

Well, we had our misunderstandings, but Jaehyun is one of my oldest friends.

My best friend.

See you around.

Jaehyun

will never hand over Hatch so easily.

You of all people should know

that he doesn't really trust anyone.

Guess we'll see

if you get to take over Hatch.

Does she take me for a fool?

Damn it.

Where were you?

Well, I'm sure you need some time to think.

Take all the time you need.

I'll always be here, waiting for you.

You will go back to Jaehyun.

You will continue to live as Taera and experience hell on earth.

I made Jiu breakfast and sent her off to kindergarten.

The presidential debate is coming up.

You're rooting for me, right?

Oh, I am.

For your downfall.

- I bet she got a massive alimony. - You didn't see the news?

They brought up her mental health, which means they won't pay up.

And the husband got custody.

Listen, Kumjo's been keeping quiet. Something's definitely fishy.

Maybe Ko was kicked out without a penny.

Oh, look, it's Ko's bestie!

Hey, man. So…

- You hear anything? - What happened?

Is it true that she had an affair?

Is she getting alimony? How much?

Damn, you piece of scum.

What? What did you just call me?

I'm talking about me.

I'm baffled as to how a bastard like myself can pretend to be human.

I'm telling you, Ms. Ko isn't home right now.

Where is she?

She's not home. Please leave.

Leo.

- Grandma! - Oh, my precious baby.

How have you been?

I missed you so much, Grandma.

What took you so long?

Oh, gosh. I'm sorry.

That's why Grandma packed a bunch of your favorite food.

I love you, Grandma!

But…

that's weird.

Mommy said you weren't coming to see me anymore.

I was really sad because I thought I might never see you again.

Leo, want to come live with Grandma? At my house?

No, then Daddy will be here all alone.

I'm so mad he became the chairman.

He's going to be even busier now.

Can Grandpa just be chairman again?

Grandma,

tell Grandpa to hurry and wake up so he can be the chairman again.

Kyojin would like to see you, Taera.

People are watching, so we should go in my car.

Yes, ma'am.

What's this? Whoa, whoa.

I'm here to help you, Mr. Han.

Don't worry. I'm not one of Pyo's men.

You think I'll trust a murder suspect?

I've seen the evidence.

You'll trust me when you see this.

CONFIDENTIAL, SECRET

HUMAN TRIALS PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT

Pyo procured subjects for human trials from the late Director Kim.

His claim that he has no connections to Director Kim is entirely false.

So what is it you want from me?

Why are you giving this to me?

I came to ask you to stop Pyo

from becoming president.

Well, then I shall grant your wish.

I, Han Kyungrok, will make your wishes come true.

Before we proceed,

you'll stop the homicide investigations against me, won't you?

Who would dare to sully the name of my precious supporter?

Don't you worry. I will prove to you the clout of the next president.

I delivered the files to Mr. Han.

It's that way. You can see him now.

Thank you for taking the time to come see me.

You look well, Kyojin.

It's hard to believe you were in a coma.

All thanks to the system at Hatch.

Was Jaehyun waiting for you to wake up because of Hatch?

I'm the founder of Hatch.

All the work done at Hatch is based on my theories from seven years ago.

I think one of the guys has the flash drive with my research files.

Is it the one with "Hatch" written on it?

Yes. How do you know about that, Taera?

Sungchan has it.

Jaehyun was trying to steal it, so I returned it to him.

I thought it was Sungchan's.

Well, I guess Sungchan was the one who stole it.

He's always had an inferiority complex.

He kept the files to himself and used them to become the research director.

Do you think he caused the accident

to get his hands on your files?

I'm still not sure who the culprit is.

It could be because of Hatch or Sujeong.

All I know is that one of those three messed with my bike and tried to kill me.

We have to find Sujeong to get to the bottom of this.

I know they did something to her.

I'll get you your flash drive

before Jaehyun figures out that Sungchan has it.

It's too risky.

I'm going to put everything back to its rightful place.

It's what I need to do.

Sorry for the delay.

Come eat with us, Ms. Min.

That's all right. This is between you two.

I think you need to hear this too, ma'am.

Is it about Jaehyun?

You and Jaehyun aren't the people I used to know.

Chairman Jang Kummo and my husband, Pyo Jaehyun,

along with me and Haesoo,

we're all connected to President Ko Taesun's case.

FIRST PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE FOR OFFICE OF THE 29TH PRESIDENT

Pyo Jaehyun! Pyo Jaehyun!

- He's here! - Pyo Jaehyun!

- Pyo Jaehyun! Pyo Jaehyun! - We love you!

Pyo Jaehyun! Pyo Jaehyun!

Pyo Jaehyun can never become the president.

I'm going to stop him, no matter what.

- Pyo Jaehyun! Pyo Jaehyun! - Please step aside!

The first question is for you, Mr. Pyo.

You said you have no connection

to Director Kim Seondeok of Hanwool Mental Hospital,

who recently passed. Is that true?

I've already made my statement to the people of Korea.

Are you implying that you have nothing to hide regarding this issue?

Have you spoken among yourselves to go on the offense regarding this?

How impressive is his poise?

You have to have guts like his to get away with such lies.

You almost had me fooled too, Mr. Pyo.

What do you mean?

Come on. You know what the truth is.

I'm well aware that Hatch and Hanwool

had come to a partnership agreement regarding human trials.

Did you come here to conjure up conspiracies without evidence?

Please set an example as a veteran politician, Mr. Han.

That I will do.

I am a candidate who firmly believes in the public's right to know.

Our hospital will provide test subjects for your human trials.

I'm sure you'll appreciate our cooperation.

Do you mean that?

The honor's all mine

to get to work with a great talent such as yourself.

HUMAN TRIALS PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT

- Human trials? - Wow, I don't believe it.

Human trials partnership agreement?

Candidate Pyo, you are so handsome.

If someone with such a handsome face lies, who wouldn't want to believe him?

You are unbelievably brazen-faced.

People of Korea, take a look at this.

Candidate Pyo hoodwinked us all.

At times like these, I lose faith in humanity.

From what I recall, Mr. Pyo stated that if we were to find

the slightest disreputable connection between them,

he would immediately withdraw his candidacy.

Why don't you brazenly announce your resignation here,

instead of holding another press conference?

SHOCKING LIE REVEALED. WILL HE WITHDRAW CANDIDACY?

Mr. Han, you really showed him today. Don't you agree?

He knew everything all along,

that I was the killer and that Jang Kummo was the mastermind.

He already knew about the assassination?

Did he sit back…

and let it all play out on purpose?

- We're looking into it. - Of course he won't withdraw!

Regarding Candidate Pyo's false claims…

You know what kind of man Mr. Pyo is.

…as a politician myself, I truly believe we should take responsibility.

I believe the only way to apologize for deceiving the people

is the withdrawal of Pyo Jaehyun's candidacy.

CANDIDATE JI INSUK NEW WAVE PARTY

Although we're competitors, I'd like to express my respect to Mr. Han Kyungrok

for bringing the truth to light.

Hey.

Look at this.

Oh, that son of a bitch.

Taera's security guard is on Han's side.

The police have closed his cases too.

I was going to let it slide, but…

Track his location. See where he ran off to.

Got it.

I'll get going.

Mr. Uhm, it's me.

Taera's brother is nothing but trouble.

Let's just kill him.

Cha Pilseung is here.

- Go find him! - Yes, sir.

I'm going by myself?

Mommy and Daddy have some things to take care of.

You'll be going alone.

You'll make new friends in France, and it's going to be so much fun.

So when are you coming, Mommy? How many nights do I have to count?

It's going to take a long time.

If you are good and brave in France, Mommy will find you someday.

You'll be using a French name from now on. Not Jiu, but Jeanne.

No!

Can I just stay here with Mommy and Daddy?

Playing with Leo is more fun.

I don't want to go to France.

Jiu…

did you learn in kindergarten what happens when you do something wrong?

You face the consequences,

and you have to apologize to the person you've wronged.

Mommy did something wrong, so I have to face the consequences

and apologize to this person.

So it's going to take some time.

What did you do wrong? Who do you have to apologize to?

Auntie Haesoo.

Mommy made a very big mistake.

But Auntie is so nice.

If you say you're sorry, she'll forgive you.

I'll go with you to apologize.

Then I can stay here, right?

And I don't have to go to France.

No, Jiu.

I'm going to be punished big time, so I can't stay with you.

So you have to go to France.

Even if you miss me, just hang in there. Can you do that for me?

No! I don't want to go!

Pyo Jiu,

you're not a baby anymore. You're a big girl now.

No! I'm still a baby!

I want to live with Mommy!

Jiu,

you have to be strong now.

You need to be able to do things on your own.

It's going to get harder and scarier,

but you have to stay strong.

Sweetie, just remember one thing.

Mommy loves you…

to the moon and back.

When you get older

and find out things about Mommy,

don't let it hurt you too much,

and don't hate me too much.

Mommy!

What happened to your hand?

It's nothing.

Mother, Father, I'm here with Hajun.

We're sorry it took 20 years to move your remains here.

We moved you to a nice place. Forgive us for taking so long,

Mom and Dad.

I have another favor to ask, Hajun.

Passports for you and Jiu.

You won't have issues leaving Korea, so don't worry.

Once you get to France, someone will be waiting for you.

You can trust her.

She cared for me and Yura like family when we lived in France.

Take good care of Jiu. She'll be scared.

Make sure she doesn't call her dad.

Will you be all right on your own?

You really think this is the only way?

For now, nothing matters more to me than Jiu's safety.

Don't ever leave her alone.

Jiu

is your niece.

Be careful, Hajun. Take good care of Jiu.

I'm sorry, Jiu.

I'm so sorry.

Mommy's so sorry.

You…

PRESIDENT KO TAESUN'S INAUGURATION DAY 15 YEARS AGO

resent me quite a bit, don't you?

I understand.

You're in a tough spot.

I'm sure you had to drag your feet to get here today,

knowing prosecution will look into Kumjo Group after the inauguration.

- Why would you want to congratulate me? - It's not like that.

I'm so happy for you.

Why does that matter when my best friend is about to become president?

I, too,

will fully cooperate in the investigation and stand tall before you.

I'll stop the prosecutors.

In return, drop the Daehan Bridge project.

Even without that project,

there are other ways to save Kumjo Group.

What's this about?

I think I'd been too harsh on you.

After all, it's my first time in such a high position.

I was just being very cautious.

I ask for one favor,

my friend.

Let this be the first and the last time I turn a blind eye to you.

Sir, it's time to go.

Don't do it.

Stop it immediately.

Tell them to stop!

This was all your doing.

You're taking

full responsibility for everything.

If you can't do it yourself, let me help you.

STOCK WAIVER AGREEMENT RECIPIENT: JANG KYOJIN

What goes around comes around.

Younghwee.

Min Younghwee.

Younghwee. Min Younghwee.

Shocked by the hypocrisy of Pyo Jaehyun,

supporters have turned their backs on him,

and the nation is condemning the disgraced candidate.

The biggest scandal of this election is Pyo's prospective withdrawal.

What choice will he make?

Goodness.

How dare these bastards mess with me.

Don't they know who I am?

Hello. Mr. Park?

This is Cha Pilseung.

I was Hong Taera's security.

Yes? What's the matter?

The one who killed you father…

was me, not Hong Taera.

Hong Taera... No, No. 50 is my sister.

She took the fall for my sins.

She didn't do anything wrong.

I'm sorry for telling you now, Ms. Ko.

I don't want to hear it.

I said I don't want to hear it!

I'm fed up with both you and Hong Taera! You think "sorry" is enough?

Is your apology going to bring back my parents?

This whole time, you said nothing.

What am I supposed to believe when both of you tell me you killed him?

I'm not asking for forgiveness!

Direct your hate toward me. Only me.

Hong Taera is taking the fall for my sins

and will reveal her identity as No. 50 to the world, like a fool,

so she can take down Pyo Jaehyun

and to protect you from getting hurt.

We didn't have a choice back then.

We were incapable of thinking about the terrible things we were doing.

Haesoo,

what happened to you?

What are you doing here?

Jaehyun,

how could you do this to me?

What do you mean?

Dojin…

Dojin tried to have me killed.

What?

I barely got away.

Please help me, Jaehyun.

I already know that Taera killed my father that day.

She had you fooled too, didn't she?

Where's my daughter?

Withdraw from candidacy.

You really want to live, don't you?

I don't feel like killing you yet, Father.

I'm going to survive by doing things my way.

The things I'd done to get my hands on it.

I stabbed Director Kim of Hanwool and killed her.

Only I control the narrative.

Our only concern now

is to figure out how to kill the bastards who cornered us into this miserable fate.
