What's going on?

Are you all right?

Ms. Oh.

Ms. Oh!

Oh Wansoo!

Ms. Oh.

Red Swan

Episode 6

Come this way! Hurry!

- Let's go! - Hurry it up!

Do you know what happened?

Sir. Can you hear me?

We're at the scene of the accident that occurred on Route 77,

the highway between Seoul and Paju, Gyeonggi-do.

It is said that there was an attempt on Ms. Oh Wansoo's life

as she was on her way back from visiting NOW Foundation.

The police suspect that her vehicle was attacked

by drones that carried explosives

as seen in terror attacks around the world as of late.

Pull it out.

If the debris had lodged a little deeper inside him,

it could have damaged his lungs badly.

How is he, doctor?

The operation was successful.

We'll transfer him to the recovery room to see how he does

then perform a detailed checkup again.

Thank you.

I'll head down to the emergency center.

I was there just now.

Director Oh gained consciousness and is now in a regular ward.

Q2 has only suffered fractures to the arms, legs, and shoulders

and has no critical injuries.

He'll go into surgery in an hour's time.

Report this to the chairwoman over the phone

and let me know how Doyoon is once he's moved to a ward.

I'll go visit the vice-chairman

-and drop by the National Police Agency. -Yes, sir.

Abrance Hospital

Sir.

Luckily, no one seems to be in critical condition.

I see. I'm glad everyone is alive.

There are many reporters at the hospital.

The PR team is on its way here.

I said I get it.

What about him?

I mean the bodyguards.

They're both alive.

One of them had a successful surgery

and the other is about to have one now.

What?

What about the press? Were there any articles?

Don't get up.

You're all over the news and the reporters are lined up outside the hospital.

Mr. Oh will be here soon,

so I'll head back home.

The doctor tells me

that it was a miracle that you weren't hurt.

Rest up.

I'll go take a look outside before I go.

Abrance Hospital

- How's Ms. Oh doing now? - Please tell us.

- How is her condition? - Please give a word.

The photo from the attack and the press release

have been sent to your respective company emails.

Director Oh won't be able to answer your questions

as she needs absolute rest for her recovery.

They say NOW Foundation has been receiving more and more donations.

Is this true?

-How much have you received so far? -Did you hear that, Mom?

Gosh.

She must have been born lucky with money.

We are unable to confirm.

We will send you the press release at a later date.

- Can you tell us more? - How is Ms. Oh doing?

Did her husband visit the hospital?

Please tell us more.

Excuse me, Mr. Reporter.

What are you doing?

Mom.

Mom!

Mom.

The mission failed.

I'm sorry.

Who did you say you were again?

Let's just go, Mom.

So what I was saying is that she's my daughter.

And as for my daughter,

she is Hwain Group's Chairwoman Park's…

sister-in-law.

- Do you get what I mean? - Ah.

-Would it be okay for me to record this? -No, you can't.

We're not here to give you an interview.

What I'm saying is that she's here

to visit her daughter-in-law.

Then could I take a photo of you?

No. What do you mean, a photo?

You sure are bad at your job.

This isn't some photoshoot.

Make it look candid.

Right. I see.

Do you have a business card?

Hold on.

Here.

CBM Reporter Hwang Sejun

Thank you.

This is my big break.

Are you sure we're going to be all right?

He's just doing his job as a paparazzi.

You need to keep being seen so that they won't look down on you.

Go on. Smile.

Wait. You shouldn't smile. That won't do.

Pretend to be sad.

-How can I help you? -I'm here with the commissioner general.

The commissioner general is here.

The Grand Palace

Mr. Han.

-Come in, sir. -Thank you.

NOW Foundation's Oh Wansoo attacked by drones

It's an honor to be here, Chairwoman Park.

-Please sit. -Yes, ma'am.

I thought the arrest rate for murder in Korea was 99%.

I'll find the perpetrator no matter what, ma'am.

But who could it be for them to shoot guns and use explosives?

On top of that, she was also attacked in Manila.

It's very concerning.

I'll find whoever did it.

I'm sorry, ma'am.

No need for such formalities.

-Sit down. -Yes, ma'am.

The National Forensic Service is working as quickly as it can.

Since it happened in Korea--

You're making my head ache!

I don't put up with excuses. Just find out who did it…

and give them the death sentence.

Yes, ma'am. There's no need for you to worry.

Why do you keep doing that?

Yes, ma'am.

This way, sir.

Sure.

Goodbye, ma'am.

I think ISIS could be behind this.

We'll need to investigate this thoroughly

since the attack took place in Korea.

Commissioner General.

Yes?

Failure to catch the culprit is incompetence.

I'm sorry?

But choosing not to catch them is resourcefulness.

I beg your pardon?

Every time she is attacked, people pay Director Oh more attention

while our company's stock prices go down by 5 to 10%.

Right.

Yes, yes, I see.

I understand what you mean.

So you're saying…

you want this dealt with quickly so that there won't be any rumors.

Stock prices dropping

would negatively affect the economy.

You're right indeed.

But the National Intelligence Service requested the intel we've gathered

since the attacks could lead to

-diplomatic tensions. -Commissioner General.

Do I need to spell it out for you?

I'll be sure to deal with it.

Of course. You can count on me.

Abrance Hospital

-Excuse me. -Yes?

Do you need anything, ma'am?

Where are my bodyguards staying?

Hold on. Excuse me, Kim.

Seo Doyoon

Here, Doyoon.

It's from Mr. Kim.

It's footage from all the CCTV cameras near the site.

Thank you. I'll treat you to a meal later.

Take care of yourself.

I'll contact you if we get any updates.

National Police Agency

What did the police say?

They suspect ISIS to be behind the attack but are yet to find any evidence.

A suspicious motorcycle was spotted nearby during the time of the attack,

so they had 50 officers look over all the nearby CCTV footage over the week,

but they lost track of it.

Here.

Just like the last time, it's 70 bundles in US dollars.

It's for Eight Star Fortune in Incheon, right?

Yes.

Understood, sir.

Should I look further into the police's investigation?

If there are any updates,

report them to me right away.

Yes, sir.

Can you be sure

that the money you delivered wasn't to hire a contract killer?

That's why Juhyuk died!

The vice-chairman seems to be creating his own slush funds.

How much?

It's not much.

I think he's created around 100 accounts that hold a billion won each.

Let him.

He must be in need of money without me knowing.

But he seems to be dealing with some dangerous people.

I can't tell if the money is being kept as a slush fund or for something else.

Hold on.

Is 100 billion won chump change to you?

I'm sorry?

You can keep your mind off that for now.

What did Yongmin say?

Is he still being stubborn?

I'll go and talk to him.

He doesn't want the foundation

even after I said I'd give him our duty-free business as well.

I just don't get it. What more could he want?

Who does he take after to be so greedy?

Cosmo's Vice-President Kim Yongmin still won't answer my calls.

Leave him be.

I asked Mr. Han if we could split off our duty-free business

to give to him as convertible bonds,

but I don't think he's given up on having Cosmo join us yet.

That Mr. Han…

Keep a close eye on him.

Yes, sir. I'll report back if there are any updates.

That idiot keeps trying to look the gift horse in the mouth.

- Damn it. - Sit down.

Just tell me!

It's none of your business whether we suffer a loss or not.

This involves more than just Cosmo Cosmetics.

We're investing in the duty-free shop so you can have it bequeathed.

Look, Mr. Han.

Either the vice-chairman or Wansoo

should come here and beg us for forgiveness.

That's not important.

It might not be to you, but it is to me.

This is why one's lineage matters.

She's the daughter of some measly caddie.

How dare she interfere in our new product launch?

And how many generations are required to validate one's lineage?

Your grandfather also started out

as a peddler who used to sell all-in-one cosmetics, Jiyeon.

You… Have you lost your mind?

Who do you think you're speaking to right now?

Vice-President Kim

and President Seo.

This investment will be beneficial to both of you.

And Director Oh will never listen even if we tell her to apologize.

What has my dead father or my mother done for me?

All they offered me was that foundation run by Wansoo,

not even one of our subsidiaries.

You're practically telling me to suck it up

and launder money for Yongkook's inheritance.

I told you that I'd explain everything later.

Shut it!

Who I hate more than my mom

is you who planned all of this.

I don't intend to involve myself with you or Mom anymore,

so stop crossing the line to lecture me and just leave.

You were so quick to dump him on us.

Why are you ordering him around now?

Have Wansoo have the Chinese FDA approve of our cosmetics line.

Then I'll give it a second thought.

Yes, sir.

I beg you.

Please think carefully about what I told you today.

Who does he think he is? He's just the family lawyer.

I won't allow it.

I agree. I'm with you on that.

He was the one who arranged for me to marry you

after my marriage with Yongkook fell through.

He convinced my mom.

Yes, honey.

I'll be right down.

Can't you answer the phone outside?

You startled me. Have you lost it?

Why would you scream like that?

I'll turn a blind eye,

so help me keep doing that.

A blind eye to what?

Damn it.

Abrance Hospital

Your discharge procedure has been completed.

We should go.

The chairwoman sent me here to keep you safe.

You can wait in the car, Ms. Yoon.

I'll be there after I visit the injured bodyguards.

Yes, ma'am.

Wait here.

I'll be quick.

Yes, ma'am.

Q2 is receiving his checkup.

Please come in.

You almost died.

Just another inch

and your lung could have been seriously injured.

But you're safe.

Why do you keep putting yourself in danger?

My mom told me once

that there's nothing more honest than one's money and one's body…

since one's money and one's body follow one's heart.

Our family used to be poor.

My mom kept putting money aside to give me pocket money

and buy me new sneakers.

She also worked part-time behind my father's back

to pack a hearty lunch for me and Juhyuk.

I yelled at her to stop doing that,

but she told me that she was following her heart.

Why would you ever let your heart follow me?

There's nothing we can do.

That's not true.

I saved you, didn't I?

It happened before I even knew it.

I'm just glad that you weren't hurt.

But I can't do anything for you in return.

A friend of mine in the police sent me CCTV footage.

You don't need to show me.

-It's from the scene of the attack. -I don't need to see it.

I trust you now.

I trust you.

There are bodyguards waiting for me outside.

We'll talk more once you're discharged.

Get well soon.

Don't put yourself in danger for my sake.

Please.

Stem cells are useless.

And colostrum doesn't taste good.

But time flies by

so mercilessly.

I heard your car was totaled and set ablaze.

You haven't got a scratch on you.

I was lucky.

I'm sorry for worrying you.

And the bodyguard?

He was seriously wounded,

but he's in recovery.

Did he…

put his arms around you like this to protect you?

They only do that…

because we're paying them well enough.

Can you buy a person's life with money?

Of course. How could you not know that?

Then have you ever…

bought someone's life with money?

That's a trade secret.

Your life is your own to lead.

Don't ask me for advice.

Anyway…

you must have bad luck this year.

How many times has your life

come under threat already?

So why don't you

try to be a nicer person from now on?

Then good things will happen.

And solve that business with China.

Taera said she wanted to make an investment in our duty-free business.

Your husband's mistress.

Or is she my husband's mistress?

Anyway,

her father is Jang Heungsoo, the former justice of the Supreme Court.

-I know. -Her mother isn't on the family register,

but Taera is.

Her half-brother is a famous fund manager in Hong Kong.

She says she'll invest in our duty-free business

if Yongmin's family pulls out because of what you did.

-And you'll let her? -That depends on you.

Mom. Hold on, Mom. Hold on.

I'll let you in. See you.

The lady of the house said she'd be here to greet me.

Mom.

-Gosh, Taera. Hello. -Mom.

Good grief.

-Let's go. -Okay.

I can't let you do that.

Ms. Byeon, this is my mom.

-I know. -So what do you think you're doing?

I'm afraid I can't let her in.

Wait. But why?

I could drop by to say hello to the chairwoman.

You cannot enter without the chairwoman's permission.

If you want to visit your daughter,

you can do so outside.

I'll do no such thing.

Follow me with those gifts my mom brought.

-Let's go, Mom. -You can't do that.

Ms. Byeon, it's me.

- Let's go in, Mom. - What's going on?

It's you, Wansoo!

You see, this woman here…

She doesn't realize who I am and refuses to let me through.

Do you know who her father is?

Ms. Byeon. I'll talk to them.

I'll show you to the annex. Follow me.

Hey, you.

You should take these inside.

I've brought truffles and abalones

as big as my fist.

We can't let in food from the outside that we don't know the origin of.

Follow me.

-Gosh, Mom. -This is unbelievable.

Wait here.

A hedge fund manager in Hong Kong?

Yes, that's right.

Her brother is quite famous in Hong Kong.

And?

I heard that Yongmin's family refused to make an investment…

ma'am.

Let me warn you.

Don't overstep your boundaries.

If you want anything, tell me.

What do you mean?

For staying out of our business.

Divorce him.

Try again with something that's possible.

Why are you doing this…

ma'am? My gosh.

Listen.

Do you want to be kicked out of the house without your son?

Do you think I can't do that?

Regarding the terrorist attack,

we'll give you the details after we've looked into it further.

-Yes, please do that. -We're still checking.

We can't go into the details right now.

Why are you back already?

It was nothing serious. I didn't need the rest.

But still…

are you sure you're all right?

What is it?

The original copies

of the foundation's ledgers I mentioned before.

Give them to me.

Actually…

there are two of them.

The ledgers I have have been altered for taxation purposes.

Then does Mr. Han have the real ledgers?

I thought you didn't want to know about this.

Give them to me.

I'm a senior managing director at Hwain despite not having a college degree.

Do you know what that means?

I take the fall should any problems arise.

I know.

And?

I'll think of something.

-Wansoo. -Hyunsoo.

I hated our mother,

but I can't forget what I saw when I visited her.

I did that. You had no part in it.

She paid too heavy a price.

And with the recent attack--

Is it revenge you want?

Do you want us to dive headfirst into danger?

I'm not saying I'm going to do something right away.

There's nothing people like us can do.

Chairwoman Park and Mr. Han made sure of that already.

-Hyunsoo. -What do you need the ledgers for?

You expose their slush fund, I go to jail,

and then what about you?

You're the director of NOW Foundation. You'll go to jail too.

We'll both go to jail and that will be it.

-Is that what you call revenge? -I'll think of something.

We need something to be able to fight back against them.

Hyunsoo.

How long have you been standing there?

Not for long.

Go to bed.

But what if…

Father finds out?

He already knows.

Now go to bed.

Yes?

How are you feeling?

Why did you leave the hospital already?

I can receive outpatient treatment.

I'll get back to work first thing tomorrow.

Was the video that Juhyuk left you

the footage of the late chairman's body being moved?

Yes, sir.

Then you must already know that I'm in that footage.

Yes, sir.

Why do you think he left it to you?

To let me know that Chairman Kim Duo was murdered.

That's what he must have meant.

You said that you were there

on the day he died, didn't you?

-Yes, sir. -Did you see the perpetrator?

It was the same person who attacked Director Oh in Manila.

Did you see their face?

No, sir.

I found out while staking out at Eight Star Fortune.

I noticed that the person had a peculiar habit when using a knife.

And what's that?

You must still suspect me.

I ran another errand for the vice-chairman

to Eight Star Fortune.

Sir.

Go on.

Of all the people in Hwain,

who do you think wanted Chairman Kim Duo and Director Oh gone the most?

I don't know.

How much do you think the vice-chairman fits that profile?

The vice-chairman was loved by the late chairman.

They had a great relationship.

He had no reason to do that to his father.

You went on an errand to deliver money to Eight Star Fortune again.

I'm sure someone there planned the recent attack as well.

Do you think the vice-chairman could have had a part in this?

The vice-chairman? That's nonsense.

Doesn't the vice-chairman also need NOW Foundation's slush funds to survive?

You should go back to the force.

If you want to find who killed Juhyuk, you can do that as a policeman.

There won't be any trouble your way

if you had no part in Juhyuk's death.

You've given me plenty of trouble already.

I swear that I'll find…

the person who murdered Juhyuk.

I don't want to lose you as well.

Who had the most to gain from Chairman Kim Duo's death?

-How should I know? -What about the inheritance?

-How would I know that? -Sir!

Please…

Please help me.

I'm begging you.

Eight Star Fortune…

The money you deliver there…

What is it for?

What the perpetrator is after

is NOW Foundation where Hwain's slush fund is stored.

But why did they murder Chairman Kim Duo who had nothing to do with the slush fund?

What are you doing here? What about the CCTV?

Butler Byeon is the only one who monitors the CCTVs here,

and she just left the house.

I'll get right to the point.

Go ahead.

The original copies of NOW Foundation's ledgers

should be somewhere in Mr. Han's study at the annex.

Please get that for me.

Be careful.

I'll leave now.

I'll take care of it,

so don't do anything.

You should go after your friend's murderer.

I'll go after Hwain Group.

It's dangerous,

so please don't do anything.

I'm sure that the attacker is anxious after failing again.

There's no telling what they'll do.

That's why…

we need something that we can hold against them

in order to fight back.

Thank you

for coming back.

Two bags of onions and two bags of cabbages.

- The same as last time? - Yes, ma'am.

They're from the same grocer.

Grocery list

There are no CCTVs at the annex.

It's so that they can hide whoever comes and goes.

This is where illegal meetings take place and bribes are exchanged.

What are you doing there, K1?

It's nothing, sir.

What was she looking at? I don't see anything.

Come here. Come here.

Good boy. Good dog.

Please scan your fingerprint again.

Ms. Byeon is looking for you. You should head over.

The chairwoman asked me to bring her some more water

since the meeting was dragging on.

Is that so? I'll do it.

Who's in there with her?

The chairwoman, the vice-chairman, and Mr. Han.

Okay. You go ahead.

Okay.

You're the new head of the RF Team who guards Director Oh, right?

Your fingerprint has been recognized.

What will you do about Cosmo Cosmetics?

I'll try to convince Vice-President Kim.

We'll split off our duty-free business to leave to him as inheritance.

I don't see why not.

Then leave that to Mr. Han. Pay no mind to Yongmin's antics.

Please enter the passcode.

Who? Seo Doyoon?

Yes, sir.

-Are you sure? -Yes, sir.

Head to NOW Foundation immediately.

-Keep a close eye and report to me. -Yes, sir.

Mr. Oh told me to deliver this bag to Director Oh.

But Mr. Oh is already here.

He just arrived.

Yes.

I know.

I've brought the bag that you asked for, Mr. Oh.

What? I did?

Give it to me.

You can go now.

No.

Let me hold on to it.

What is it?

Give me a moment, Hyunsoo.

It's dangerous. I'll hold onto it.

Hyunsoo.

What is it?

I'll see you later.

- We're from the prosecution. - Hey.

- You can't go in! - Hold on!

We're from the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office.

What's going on?

This is a search and seizure warrant for NOW Foundation.

We ask for your cooperation.

- Start searching. - Yes, sir.

And…

this is an arrest warrant.

Mr. Oh. You're under arrest for embezzling funds from NOW Foundation.

- Take him in. - Yes, sir.

Come with us.
