Do you know why I called you here?

-No, sir. -No, sir.

You will take note of the people the president meets privately.

Senior Inspector Shin will secretly investigate the slush funds

kept by those who met the president in private

and report your findings to me and no one else.

Yes, sir.

Restricted area

Why did you want to see me?

Before his death, Senior Inspector Shin was looking into Hwain's slush funds.

And?

Do you still despise me for what happened?

You covered up his death.

That was because Senior Inspector Shin failed to find any evidence.

How was I supposed to arrest those behind Eight Star Fortune without evidence

when they were based in Manila?

Back then,

I wrongly suspected you.

Just come out and ask me

if I was in cahoots with Hwain Group.

I can't say that I still don't suspect you.

It's all in the past now.

So why did you want to see me?

I'm here to report to you

about Hwain's slush funds and the suspect behind the recent terror attacks.

But first,

there's intel I've obtained about Hwain through the NIS.

It is said the former president has hidden away

a large amount of his slush fund abroad through his son, Chairman Kim Duo.

I'm sorry?

They must plan to use it to make Hwain's first son the successor.

Find out how they plan to bring the money back from Switzerland.

That's what you should do first.

Senior Inspector Shin's attacker

must be related to Chairman Kim Duo's slush funds somehow.

Red Swan

Episode 9

Do you want something, sir?

-I'm okay. -Okay.

-Excuse me. -Yes?

Could I get some water, please?

-Sure. -Thanks.

Peter. I'm going to Switzerland right now.

There's an important matter I'd like to discuss,

so please let me know when we can talk privately over the phone.

Are you left-handed?

No, I'm not.

How tall are you?

I'm 5 ft 8 in.

Why?

The flower shop delivery is complete.

It's nothing. It's just that you look taller than that.

Wait.

Can you speak Chinese by any chance?

Not at all.

Why do you ask?

Never mind. It's nothing. You should get back to work.

How could I have not thought that Mr. L could be a woman?

Why do you ask?

Evidence…

I need evidence.

Zürich, Switzerland

My slush fund of 16 trillion won

is being kept at Celli Bank in Switzerland

and can only be retrieved if Ms. Oh Wansoo visits in person

and signs for its withdrawal.

This way.

It's a great pleasure to meet both of you.

Ms. Oh.

Before we begin, we do need to check some information.

Thank you very much.

Your biometric information is a perfect match

with the data we have from the late Mr. Kim.

However, we do need to proceed with caution

as the amount of money involved here is quite substantial.

Of course.

A few days ago

Oh, my fucking lord!

Can you believe this? It's 18 trillion won!

-Can you? -Be quiet for a second.

Both of you sit down.

Even if we split it between the three of us,

we'll be getting over five trillion each.

Right?

Between the three of us?

Didn't you listen to what the will said?

So you're going to keep it all for yourself?

Can't you punks shut up?

We've got a problem on our hands

that we might not be able to solve even if we were to put our heads together.

That senile fool is giving me trouble even from beyond the grave.

Don't stress yourself too much, Mom.

Listen. There's 18 trillion won,

and 16 trillion of it is from an illegal slush fund.

Even the remaining 2 trillion is stored in illegal borrowed-name accounts.

That's not a small amount. It won't be easy to launder all of it.

We won't ever get it done with the launderer that we have.

Without help from the launderers in Hong Kong or New York,

there's no way it can happen.

He donated the money.

You don't have a share.

You can't do that to me.

So you'll keep everything for yourself?

Whoever ends up getting it, we'll need to launder it first.

We should split it three ways to keep things fair.

We can't split it three ways.

Yongkook's succession needs to go smoothly,

so most of that money will be spent on that.

You can't be serious!

I don't intend to let anyone

have more than an exact three-way split.

Father donated the entire amount to NOW Foundation

so that Wansoo could use it for a good cause.

Are you nuts?

This isn't some chump change.

You're going to give it all to Wansoo so she can waste all of it?

What can we do when that's what Father wanted?

That's not what he wanted at all!

It's a slush fund that was illegally acquired.

There's no way for us to retrieve it.

He only said he was donating it because he had no way of giving it to us.

So he donated it to the foundation so we can launder it little by little

to use in your succession

and also make good use of the money he left us.

He just had it siphoned through the foundation.

Stop getting ahead of yourselves

and stay out of it.

Let Wansoo do what she wants with it.

I said I would never let that happen.

How dare you try to con me out of my share?

You must have lost it.

-How dare you touch me? -It's not a small amount.

You're not even a member of the family.

-What was that? -Both of you.

Be quiet!

If you understand what I meant,

just keep living quietly like a mouse.

Why don't I just report you?

I'll tell everyone that the former president's son

had been keeping a slush fund worth 16 trillion won in Switzerland.

Do you want the entire world to know about that?

Don't you dare threaten me!

Fine.

We'll split it in half.

Forget about Mom. We'll split the money in half.

Hey. You're not getting any.

Why would you need all that money at your age?

You really must have gone nuts.

That's right. I'm completely nuts.

There's no telling what I'd do

unless you give me half of that money!

Keep that in mind.

Do you think that's the only thing I have on you two?

I'm warning both you and Mom.

Unless you want to spend the rest of your life in prison,

you better give me my fair share.

I was told that Father

could have been murdered.

Do you know who killed him?

How the fuck should I know that?

You…

What did you just say?

Are you saying I killed him?

What are you talking about?

That's strange.

I said he could have been murdered.

Shouldn't you be surprised to hear that?

Do you know who did it by any chance?

How would I know who killed him?

What about Mr. Han?

Does he know who did it?

Hey. Have you gone insane?

Prison?

You're the one who should be worried about that.

Fucking hell! Seriously!

You're the one who's trying to keep the money for yourself!

"Fucking hell"?

It doesn't matter how much.

I will never let you get your hands on my father's money.

Not a single penny.

Get lost.

Damn it.

He's a complete thief.

What are you going to do?

What are you staring at me for?

Why did you do it?

What?

To Chairman Kim Duo.

You're asking me that now?

Why didn't you say anything then?

I was so shocked…

that I couldn't ask you then.

Who are you to ask me why I did that now?

Forget about it.

If I kill Oh Wansoo, NOW Foundation will become mine.

And after you kill her?

It will be easy to siphon the money from the foundation and have it laundered

although it will take long.

Fine.

Should I have Oh Wansoo killed?

Why would those terrorists stop in the middle of their attack?

It would have been great if she quietly died in Manila.

If that happened, we would have never found the money in Switzerland.

Is that so?

I'm sure he made it so the money could be accessed even after her death.

It's complicated.

She was to withdraw the money, not inherit it.

Enough of that nonsense.

Once Oh Wansoo retrieves the money from Switzerland,

wouldn't it be okay to kill her then?

You've been the lawyer of this household for over 30 years.

So how did you not know that the old man had that much money

and that he planned to give it all to the foundation?

Let's give it some thought.

Be quiet for a second.

Don't order me around.

Please leave, sir.

I have a lot on my mind.

Get it done, okay?

I'll look into the places where we can launder the money.

Now that I think about it, that was out of the blue.

Did you see me kill the old man?

He just dropped dead.

You pretended to believe me then. Why are you accusing me now?

You've ruined my mood.

Sir.

Sir…

He… He just fell.

He was talking to me then he just…

He suddenly collapsed.

What are you doing here?

You should have told me.

I'm telling you, he just collapsed.

He really did!

You should

take Jiyeon with you to the vacation home in Yongpyeong.

Why would she go on a trip with me?

Just take her

and buy her a gift like a necklace or something.

Just get out of here!

You were never here today.

Mr. Park. Where are you?

Come to Nonhyeon-dong.

Let me take that for you.

-You're so pretty, Wansoo. -Hello.

I'm such a fan.

Did you have a nice trip?

Yes.

The car is parked over there.

All right. Take a seat over there.

I gave it some thought

and I think I have a great idea.

Please go on.

We'll use Oh Hyunsoo.

Oh Wansoo's brother.

How so?

We'll have him launder all the money

that Wansoo brought back from Switzerland.

What is she going to do when her brother is involved in it?

And?

We'll launder the money

and use it to purchase Hwain Bio stocks under Yongkook's name.

It's a holding company.

With simple legwork,

his succession will become very easy.

What about Mr. Oh then?

He will decide to take his own life out of guilt for embezzlement.

Perfect, right?

What's this?

Are you trying to negotiate with me so that I'll share the money with Yongmin

in return for your help?

I'll think about it.

I come to you with a helpful idea and this is what I get.

Yongmin is sure to receive a small share of the money.

That damn mooch.

Both father and son are so greedy.

Why would he want what's mine?

What right does he have?

He should be grateful that I'm willing to give him even scraps.

How dare he try to get in my son's way?

He's nothing but a lowly servant.

How dare he?

I'll make a deal with them using the ledgers.

That's too dangerous.

These ledgers…

How about we just hand them over to the prosecution right away?

Just leave it to me.

This is too big for us to take on ourselves.

There's no talking to you, is there?

We'll hand over the ledgers to the prosecution

and tell the world about the donation that the former chairman made.

We can't do that without any solid proof.

They'll destroy what they can't have.

And the money from Switzerland is from an illegal slush fund,

so it won't be easy for the prosecution to trace it.

They'll just accuse her of lying because she wants a divorce,

kill her, and make it look like an accident.

But it's too dangerous for us to contact them now.

We could end up losing the ledgers.

I'll make a deal with Mr. Han.

Listen closely.

Your sister's life was in danger all this time because of that money.

The ledgers are the only way that we can find whoever is behind this.

The person behind this? Who?

Mr. Han?

Yongmin?

They're all innocent according to the ledgers, so how?

They already know we have the ledgers so they're useless.

We need to get our hands on new evidence.

About Kim Yongmin…

It's true that he was born out of wedlock,

but he bears no relation to the late chairman.

-I'm sorry? -What?

I found this in Mr. Han's safe.

His entire fortune was put into a trust.

And the trustee is Kim Yongmin.

Are you saying that Yongmin was born between the chairwoman and Mr. Han?

They're after NOW Foundation for the slush fund

since it didn't seem likely that he'd become Hwain's successor.

That's why they've been after your life.

So that's why Yongmin reported the embezzlement.

Revenue of trust certificate

Then the person who tried to kill me was Yongmin?

It could have been him

or it could have been Mr. Han who wanted his son to receive that money.

Lee Jin the bodyguard…

Is she a Chinese emigrant?

I don't know.

All I know is that she graduated from the Police University.

Why do you ask?

Watch out for her.

Don't ever let yourself be alone with her.

I'm trying to find evidence against her.

But she's loyal to the chairwoman.

She doesn't work for Mr. Han or Yongmin.

Her loyalty to the chairwoman could be a cover.

Are you saying that K1 was behind all the attacks ever since Manila?

She can handle all those weapons?

I'm looking into it.

First of all,

I'll give you the ledgers.

Remember what I said.

You have to be careful

of Mr. Han.

Both of you too.

Stay safe.

Let me know when you go to see Mr. Han.

Okay.

I hear what you're saying.

So it's difficult to bring everything into Korea at once?

Yes. We'll need to make some arrangements.

And there will be a hefty commission that you can't avoid to pay.

Let's keep in touch.

Bye.

Vice-Chairman Kim Yongkook

Where did you go?

Now you ask me where I am?

Where are you?

Okay. I understand.

What did he say? Is he coming here?

He is,

but he's going to take Junhee out for a moment.

Junhee? Is he going to kidnap Junhee?

He's Junhee's father. Why would he do that?

Officially speaking, he's Junhee's brother.

Whatever.

But think about it.

The late Chairman Kim Duo left them an enormous fortune,

and you're his supposed second wife.

And as for Junhee,

he's Chairman Kim's son officially speaking.

I guess he has a claim to the inheritance.

Get over here.

Vice-President Kim Yongmin

-Now! -Managing Director Jin.

I'll talk to you later.

What's with you? Where are your manners?

Did you embezzle the company's funds to buy Hwain Bio stocks?

-Who told you that? -Did you buy them or not?

I just thought I should buy them while the prices were down

after Wansoo's brother was arrested.

My company's money isn't yours.

How is this your company? This is your dad's company.

You must be dying to go to prison.

Prison? Did you say prison?

You better return the money you took right away.

Buying their stocks would only do them good.

I didn't buy them to help them.

Wake up.

You can never win against Yongkook.

Why do you think you were married into our family?

Your family was taking the trash out and dumping it on us.

Why you…

I'm going to report it to Dad if you don't return the money in three days.

Snap out of it.

Report it.

Go ahead.

I'm not the same Yongmin you used to know yesterday.

Don't you know how much my father has saved up in his slush fund?

-I see. -Didn't you tell your father yet?

And they'll share it with you?

To you? Your mom is going to do that?

I won't be asking for handouts like some beggar.

I don't think you know me that well.

Bring me the money then.

You don't think I can do it.

When your family dumped you on us,

she didn't even bother to give you a single subsidiary.

I know that she's afraid to split up the group,

but how could she send you to us empty-handed?

I'm going to take over Hwain!

Bring back the money you took!

Do you still not understand?

You fucking deaf?

Hello.

Are you here alone?

You told me to come alone so the driver brought me here.

Right. How about we go for a walk?

Okay.

Why did you want to see me?

I have something to tell you.

I also wanted to ask you some questions.

Go on and tell me.

Do you know who I am?

You're the vice-chairman.

Dad…

You knew?

Hey, duck! Get down, come on!

Mom. We're too beautiful. Hiding won't do anything for us.

I guess we're not in the wrong since we came here worried about Junhee.

I wonder what they're talking about.

You see…

I'm going to…

break up with your mom.

I understand.

I wanted to ask you something.

Who I want to live with?

I see

that you take after me.

You're quick-witted and brave.

And you don't let anyone know when you're hurting inside.

I'll live with Mom.

You have a big family at the Grand Palace.

If I go to live there, Mom won't have anyone else.

We'll live with Grandma.

I'll live with Mom and Grandma.

I might…

never be able to visit you or your mom

ever again.

Would that

still be okay?

We can meet later

when I grow up, right?

Of course.

Then it's fine.

Goodbye.

Wait. Why are you leaving already?

I'll be meeting him at ten tonight

under Haengju Bridge at the Han River.

Are you going somewhere?

It's late.

Yes. I was going out to see a friend of mine.

Sure. Have fun.

Yes. I'll see you later.

There aren't any CCTVs in that area by the Han River.

I'll be watching nearby

but please be careful.

Calls

Calling Seo Doyoon

Mr. Oh Hyunsoo Recording call

The money was moved to the Canadian account safely.

I saw the deposit.

Are you planning never to come back?

I don't know.

Does your sister know

that her brother is taking money and leaving for Canada to hide?

I should tell her now.

Give me the ledgers.

Let me ask you one thing before I do that.

Was Chairman Kim Duo murdered?

What?

Cut the nonsense.

Who was it that tried to kill Wansoo?

What is it that you want to know?

Can you promise Wansoo's safety

if she gets a divorce and gives up all her rights over NOW Foundation?

What are you planning to do with Chairman Kim Duo's slush fund?

It's none of your business since you'll be leaving.

What price must Wansoo or I pay…

for you to assure that Wansoo will be safe?

Why are you asking me that?

I can convince her to get a divorce,

but I won't be able to talk her into giving up the foundation completely,

even more so now.

Director Oh has always valued

the foundation even more so than her life.

You should just keep looking out for yourself.

Mr. Oh Hyunsoo Stop recording

Emergency Medical Service.

I'm on the bank of the Han River.

Can you track my location and send an ambulance?

His main artery has been cut.

-Hey… -You shouldn't talk.

Is this the Central District Prosecutors' Office?

I wanted to make a report

regarding Hwain Group and NOW Foundation.

The Grand Palace

Good evening.

I'm Prosecutor Seo Jinsoo from Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office.

What is the meaning of this at this hour?

Do you have a warrant for search and seizure?

We're not actually here to do that.

I'm here because there's something I need to tell the chairwoman in person.

Don't you think it's rude to visit without letting us know first?

I'll tell Mr. Han.

Wait. He's not in right now. I saw him go out earlier.

Should I call him?

I'll do it.

Please wait. We'll discuss it with our lawyer first.

Sure thing. I'll allow that much.

Goodbye.

-Please wait. -Take your time.

He's not answering.

Stay there for a moment.

Please wait a little longer.

We did our best not to look conspicuous.

We won't take long.

I told you to wait.

Why isn't he answering his phone?

I've called him over 20 times now but he's not answering.

Twenty? Keep calling him.

Vice-Chairman Kim. Where are you right now?

-Thank you. -You're welcome.

There she is.

What's going on here?

Where's Mr. Han?

Are prosecutors allowed to do things like this at such a late hour?

We thought it'd be best to tell her in person,

since she's such an important figure.

What's he on about?

Hello, ma'am.

I'm Prosecutor Seo Jinsoo of Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office.

And?

We have your summons.

I came here to hand it to you personally.

-Summons? -Yes, ma'am.

Should I wait for your lawyer and speak to him before I go?

It's fine. Give the summons to me.

Here you go.

Leave if you're done here.

Our lawyer will contact you soon.

Well, then…

Let's go.

-Yes, sir. -Yes, sir.

The killer…

is K1.

Whose order could she be following?

That's who we're after.

I'm sorry.

We did our best,

but the patient has passed.

What's going on?

Hey.

Still no word from Mr. Han?

His phone still seems to be switched off.

That nutjob.

Where could he be and what could he be up to?

Keep calling him.

We've been calling him nonstop overnight.

He must be clueless about the state this family is in right now.

He's supposed to be our lawyer.

Jeez.

I'll step inside.

First, you should sit down.

I'm sorry.

Two hours ago…

No…

I thought

I should tell you this in person.

Two hours ago…

Mr. Oh…

passed away.

Where?

On a bank near the Han River.

He was taken straight to the hospital…

but he had lost too much blood.

-Where is the morgue? -The reporters have gathered outside.

Ms. Yoon told me

that the chairwoman is going to the prosecution soon.

That's why the reporters must be here.

You should leave after she does.

I'm sorry.

This is hell.

I think I might go insane.

I feel so suffocated that I might lose my mind.

My poor brother…

What do I do now?

I've lost my brother as well.

What am I to do now?

12 missed calls from Ms. Yoon 7 missed calls from Ms. Byeon

16 missed calls from Mr. Park 14 missed calls from Ms. Yoon

One new unread message

Look at you.

What took you so long to get here?

I'm sorry, ma'am. I took some cold medication and…

So you were sleeping soundly

while this house was turned upside down?

We should go.

I've made the preparations.

The prosecution will just ask you a few simple questions.

You don't need to do anything. I'll take care of everything for you.

What's gotten into them? Why would they summon me?

Don't tell me they're going to arrest me.

Mr. Oh

seems to have handed over the ledgers to the prosecution.

He did?

It's not a big deal. I'll take care of it.

Wait.

I thought you said Wansoo's lover handed the ledgers over to the prosecution.

I managed to sweep it under the rug

but Mr. Oh went ahead and exposed the ledgers.

Keep your head clear and follow me to the prosecutors' office.

All you need to do is sit there.

Are you sure

that the ledgers don't include anything incriminating?

Of course. We should go.

The reporters have gathered outside. I'm going to end up photographed.

There's no telling how the public will react to this.

I've also taken measures against that.

It's time. Hold on.

Oh Wansoo's affair

The news about the slush fund was covered up

with news of Oh Wansoo's affair.

The car is ready outside the gates.

You must now walk out the front gate and deal with the reporters.

All you have to say to them is, "I don't know anything about that."

Just what is going to happen to me?

We should head out for now.

Don't forget to keep looking confident.

You want me to leave like this?

Hey. There's been breaking news.

-What is it? -Let me see.

-What's that? -There was breaking news.

Let's check.

-What's this? -Was this uploaded just now?

Oh Wansoo's affair? Siphoned off slush funds with lover

It was uploaded just now.

It must be true.

No way.

-There she comes. -There she is.

-She's here. -She's coming.

-There she comes. -There she is.

Move… Please.

I am sorry for the inconvenience I've caused.

I will fully cooperate with the prosecution's investigation

so that this misunderstanding can be resolved.

Is the news about Ms. Oh true?

Is her affair related to the slush funds?

The rumors spread by tabloids have now been plastered all over the news.

Is it true?

Remain dignified. They're taking photos.

Then was the slush fund at NOW Foundation

created by Director Oh, who was planning to divorce her husband?

Is the news of Ms. Oh's affair true? Who is the man she's with?

Why would you ask me that?

Is Ms. Oh in the house right now?

Will she be divorcing her husband?

Well, I really don't know anything about that.

-We should go. -Wait.

-Please give us a word. -Talk to us.

-Chairwoman. -Please answer us.

-Can you give us some answers? -Please tell us.

Will Ms. Oh be coming out?

There still are a lot of reporters outside.

Should I tell the chairwoman about Mr. Oh's passing?

No. That won't be necessary.

She won't attend his funeral anyway.

But shouldn't you at least tell the vice-chairman about this?

That won't be necessary.

I don't think you should head out right now.

That's right. The news sites have been plastered with articles about you.

You should wait upstairs for now.

-Please take her upstairs. -All right.

Hyunsoo's wife should be arriving at the airport.

I'll go to meet her.

You should head upstairs.

Vice-president's office

I got the news. Wansoo's brother died.

We're getting divorced.

You've put up all of my stocks as well as my father's stocks as collateral

to buy even more Hwain Bio stocks.

You're a complete con man!

I told you already.

Before I divorce you, I should report you to the police first.

Give me a break!

Your father gave me his permission.

What?

Father allowed me to do that.

What did you say?

What's all this?

Photos of you cheating on me.

I showed Father every last one of them.

You backstabbing punk. You blackmailed him?

You punk. You bastard.

You jerk. You deceitful prick!

Did you film me having sex as well?

Yes.

I'm not getting a divorce.

I won't let you divorce me.

-Yongmin. -And I'm putting everything into Hwain.

I won't let you off if you ever get in my way.

You've messed with the wrong person.

Those photos?

Send them over to the press and not just my dad.

Spread it worldwide for everyone to see!

I'm rich enough.

Cheating isn't reserved for men.

I'm going to be just fine.

As for you,

I'll make sure that you end up crawling in the gutters.

You've messed with the wrong person.

I'm going to make you lose everything you've got!

I won't ever forgive you.

We offer our condolences

The late Oh Hyunsoo

Here she comes!

PROSECUTION SERVICE

Will Hwain Group be investigated as well?

-This is unbelievable. -Were you aware of Ms. Oh's affair?

-How is Ms. Oh involved? -Is it true?

-Please give us a word. -What will happen to Hwain Group?

Just one comment, please.

Is Ms. Oh involved with the slush funds?

-Tell us about the foundation's funds. -How much is there?

-Answer us, please. -Can you please tell us?

-Give us a word. -Please wait.

About those reporters…

There weren't as many as I expected.

Did they all go to report on Oh Wansoo's affair?

That would be for the best.

Let's stop by for some dumpling soup.

Yes, ma'am.

You should stay at a hotel for the time being.

There's work to be done with the reporters and everything else.

Work?

Why did you kill Oh Wansoo's brother?

He embezzled money

and he was a gambling addict.

I guess a loan shark killed him.

Will everything be over then?

I'm doing my best.

You're sure

that I'll be safe, right?

We've even

had a son together.

I know I can trust you.

I felt bad that I couldn't give something big to Yongmin.

I can see

is inside Mr. Han Sangil's safe at Hwain.
