Welcome.
I've been waiting for you.
Haeun.
Don't call me Haeun.
The night you betrayed me,
I threw out that name.
When my twin brother
who I met for the first time in 20 years
was dying instead of me, I died too.
After all, I wasn't the only one you betrayed.
You couldn't even imagine how
much he suffered for 20 years
because he thought he had let
me die in that car accident.
And I had to watch him dying
because you, the one I thought was my best friend
turned your back against me.
Do you know how much that hurts me?
I did something unforgiveable.
Forgive me.
Please, Haeun.
I kept thinking about why you had to do that to me.
There must have been a reason.
There probably was.
There really must have
been some kind of reason.
There must've been some reason you couldn't
do anything about...I thought about it many times.
And so I waited so you can find me.
I made a path for you and waited for you.
I wanted to forgive you,
I wanted to forgive you.
So I was waiting for you.
But I...
I can't forgive you.
I don't deserve to be forgiven.
I'm sorry, Haeun.
I really am.
I'm sorry...
I'm thankful that you're still alive.
I really am.
I'm so glad that you didn't die.
Haeun.
Thank you.
I'm so sorry.
I really am.
I'm so sorry.
I'm so sorry.
- Thanks. Bye
- Take care.
The vice president is away at the moment.
Do you know when he'll be back?
He hasn't called me yet so I don't know.
Is it something urgent?
No, it isn't. It's just...
Would you like to have some tea?
No thanks.
I came to give you something.
I think you're the one who should keep this.
I think this is your father's...
Haeun had kept it all the time
since he first came to my house.
Haeun...he thought of it as a compass for his life.
Who he is...
Where he came from...
He thought that compass
would direct him to find the way.
And that's why he became a cop.
Eunha!
This is precious to you too.
Please keep this with you.
You don't have to return it to me.
I actually hesitated to.
Because I feel like I'm letting
Haeun go by giving it away.
But this is more precious to you.
I've already received too many things from Haeun.
They're enough for me.
He would have thought the same,
that he received so many things from you
that he couldn't possibly be happier than he was.
Sucheol, where have you been all this time?
Officer Ham kept looking
for you and the Chinese murder...
We'll start investigating undercover from today.
Investigating undercover?
Who are we looking for?
Park Sangcheol.
We don't know where he is.
He might've run away to China...
Is this Yang Mancheol's house?
Do you happen to know Lim Daeshik?
Is this Yang Mancheol's house?
A man named Lim Daeshik before?
I see. Thanks anyway.
I think I'm going to go crazy.
Shinhyeok was most comfortable
when he was with Gangju.
Is this Gangreung Prison?
I'm a reporter from KSB.
My name's Gangju.
I want to know about a lifer
there named Yang Mancheol.
Are you going home?
Well met!
Let's go somewhere together.
Where?
Just follow me.
I should've thanked you earlier for
looking after my daughter, Director Min.
It's okay. You don't have to say that.
I heard that once you start digging,
no one can escape from you, Mr. Kim.
He has a very sharp eye.
That's why he's had a lot of scoops.
How lucky Gangju is to
have you as her direct senior!
She's too curious so I'm
sure that she must bother you a lot.
She can find something suspicious
in ordinary stories. That's her strength.
All parents would be the same.
When I hear good things about her, I'm so glad.
When I see her having a hard time,
that worries me more than anything.
She sometimes makes me
happy and sometimes worried.
As a father, I actually
want to ask you a big favor.
Tell me.
Every section is hard but the
local news section can be really tough.
I'm worried whether it might
not be too hard on Gangju.
And she's still got so many things to learn.
I'm worried that she might
be overestimating herself.
So what do you want to ask me?
So I'm wondering if you can
send her to another section,
where she can learn more
and her mistakes won't be taken too seriously.
You shouldn't worry about her.
Mr. Kim rarely praises anyone but
he often says good things about her, right?
She's better than anyone.
And there's no section where
mistakes won't be taken seriously.
I think I made a mistake.
Don't take what I said too seriously.
I'm worrying about Gangju as a father.
It's nothing more than that.
I understand.
But a newsroom is a very strict organization.
I can't just say do this, do that
and no one would accept it either.
Of course I know that.
I'm glad you understand.
All my juniors have parents.
I'm sure their parents also care
about their children as much as you do.
I was just trying to help.
I guess I wasn't thinking.
Please don't take this the wrong way,
Director Min. You too, Mr. Kim.
Thank you for your time.
You're welcome. Take care.
Sorry for the trouble.
I'll talk to Gangju later.
What's she reporting on these days?
Nothing special.
She's working on a feature story but
she keeps putting off giving me her outline.
A feature story?
Have you been home?
Yes.
You should've told me.
I thought you would come to see
me on the way home form work.
So what's the urgent thing you wanted to talk about.
Let me have a drink first.
I found him.
I found out who Ganghyeok
was going to meet in Gangwondo.
What do you mean?
Didn't I tell you before?
Ganghyeok wanted to see
someone urgently in Gangreung.
So who was it?
A lifer named Mancheol in Gangreung Prison.
I also found out by the aid of my senior
that Haeun's boss, Gido met Mancheol.
On the same day they met,
Gido was stabbed at the bus terminal.
And the one who found Gido
at the site of the accident was Ganghyeok.
Eunha said Ganghyeok got a phone call
from Gido and rushed to the terminal.
I feel like eating some kimbap all of a sudden.
Come on!
Keep going.
What's wrong with you?
I'm talking really seriously.
Do you care about Ganghyeok or not?
What you're saying is
too complicated to understand.
Write it down and give it to me later.
What I'm saying is Gido was stabbed
and soon after Haeun's case blew up.
That doesn't look like a coincidence.
It looks like someone wanted to buy their silence.
Which means Haeun and Gido
were working on the same case.
The same case?
I'm sure Haeun's case is related
to your father's car accident 20 years ago.
I have to know the relation between Daeshik
and Mancheol and the car accident 20 years ago.
You're sharper than I thought.
Thanks.
But it's not because I was smart,
but thanks to my guardian angel.
Guardian angel?
Yes, my invisible helper.
That sounds a little bit worrying.
What?
Don't trust anyone too easily.
Maybe it's not your guardian angel.
I'll bear that in mind.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
Just call me next time.
What?
We can talk about these issues on the phone.
It's too serious a matter
to just say on the phone.
I'm disappointed. I did it for you.
I just don't want to
take too much of your time.
Drive safely.
How do you do?
I've booked a room.
May I ask your name, sir?
Steven Lee.
Wait a moment, please.
Did you book from Hong Kong?
That's right.
Could you please wait just a second?
We have Steven Lee here.
Yes.
Yes, I see.
How do you do?
Thank you for coming to our hotel.
Come this way please.
Mr. Lee, the aide?
Aren't you Mr. Lee the aide?
Yes. Do I know you?
I'm Steven Lee from Lion Funds.
We met at Assemblyman Lee's
guest lecture at Harvard University.
I see.
You don't remember.
Yes, I think I remember you.
I understand. You probably meet
a lot of people all the time.
Thank you for your understanding.
When did you come to Korea?
Just today from Hong Kong.
Please tell Assemblyman Lee
that I want to see him.
I will.
I'd like to talk to
someone who's staying here.
His name is Steven Lee from Lion Funds.
He's just arrived today from Hong Kong.
I see.
Can you wait a little bit?
He's on his way to his room.
Sure.
Is the appointment with
the party chairman today?
No, it's tomorrow.
I already called Choi Dongchan about that.
Now everyone thinks they can work in politics.
What's happening with
Star Hotel's management issue?
It looks like Mr. Jeong decided to
give Choi Dongchan Star Hotel.
But there's a rumor that Mr. Jeong's
wife is lobbying board members.
I see. Go back to your work.
Do you remember Steven Lee by any chance?
Steven Lee?
He was at your lecture at Harvard University.
He's president of Lion Funds in Asia.
I read the article about
that company's rapid growth.
But what about him?
He's staying at Star Hotel and I saw
Yu Shinhyeok go to see him.
Really?
Who did you say sent me this?
It's Kim Nuin.
Kim Nuin?
I've never heard of that name.
Are you sure this is for me?
Yes.
Did that person leave a name card?
I just got an order on the phone at my gallery.
Any contact number?
Nothing.
Do you have enough money?
You need a lot of money
to buy shares in Star Hotel.
Do you know the rule of the circle?
Rule of the circle?
The beginning of a circle
is also the end of it.
In other words, all things
end where they begin.
So?
We start with Sangguk's money
and finish with his money too.
You're much harsher than I thought.
Nothing's too scary for a
person who's been to hell before.
I'm home.
Hi. You must be tired.
No. Is the chairman home?
He's taking a shower.
Have you eaten?
Oppah, have some dumpling soup.
Eunha's dumplings taste great.
Really?
Yes.
You should try some.
I'm okay.
Why not? Didn't you say
you want to fix your allergy?
Yes, but I didn't say I already fixed it.
I'll go and wash.
Okay.
Mom, I think Shinhyeok
is still dating Gangju.
He looked like he went out
after he got a phone call from her.
Really?
In the final assessment,
J&C and we had an even score.
Even score?
Yes. Reassessment will be
carried out in 3 days.
I see.
This case is really rare so
it's been the talk of the trade.
That's good.
It looked like we had no
chance to beat J&C, but
we got a good score because of the
environmentally friendly aesthetics.
They're very wise judges, aren't they?
Mr. Ahn.
Yes, sir.
Now we know who
the final judges are, right?
Yes, the list's been disclosed to the public.
What's going on?
You were brimming with confidence!
I'm sorry.
But in the reassessment--
We almost won!
How could you let this go to a reassessment?
You had all the support
and you couldn't follow through?
I'm sorry.
When is the reassessment?
It's in 3 days.
Before Mureung gets into action,
I'll make the first move.
Even I was surprised by the result.
It's totally unexpected.
We still have the reassessment.
No matter what the final result will be,
you made a big contribution to this one.
This is a result of you not giving up.
This is credit to the design and interior team.
The lighthouse concept was really helpful too.
I heard that.
Eunha designed that, right?
Yes.
She's not only nice, but is also
competent and has a lot of drive.
Thanks to you, we made this one.
I did nothing.
People think we got a good
score due to the lighthouse idea.
You did a really good job.
You can't just be happy like that.
What do you mean?
Maybe you're creating a monster.
Eunha can take your position from you.
You might be right.
Just do an average job and
don't think of taking my position.
I'll bear that in mind.
Who are the final judges?
Ho Junyong from Rural & Urban,
Kang Jinguk from Construction
Lee Dongjun from Housing,
Kim Daeil from J. Engineering, etc.
Arrange a meeting with them.
We don't have enough time.
Okay.
But it will be difficult to get Kang Jinguk.
He's very famous for
being a goody two shoes.
Is he?
Yes. He's principled. He doesn't accept
any lobbying from related firms.
What a man! Is he influential?
He's a dab hand at selecting the right company.
He possesses the confidence of his seniors.
Then J&C's lobbying won't work on him.
But he's not the only judge.
If J&C lobbies the other judges
but him, it won't look good at all.
Don't you want to eat?
The soup is getting cold.
Eat first, then we can talk about work later.
Okay.
Don't bother me and leave my room.
Please play it once more with me.
My company examination is coming soon.
You'll pass it without studying.
Please leave me alone.
We're even so we need a tiebreaker.
Come on, Eunha.
No.
Please.
No.
Just once.
Just once.
Just once, okay.
I won!
Mr. Ahn.
I heard you've been working very
hard on the convention center project.
The vice president is
the one who's working hard.
I always appreciate you
for assisting him so well.
No. I hardly do anything.
Modesty is also your merit.
I just want to talk to you not as
your boss but as Shinhyeok's father.
It's because I have something
to ask you about him.
The first thing parents do after they
eat is to worry about their children.
I too, worry needlessly.
I think Shinhyeok looks nervous
these days for some reason.
I'm not sure if I'm overly concerned, but I'm
worried if something has happened to him.
I thought you'd know best about him.
That's why I called you.
I'm afraid that I don't
know anything in particular.
Really?
Yes, sir.
But...
he's become really flexible and
active so a lot of the staff
feel closer to him and
more comfortable with him.
Then that's a good change.
Yes.
Then I have nothing to worry about.
Just keep helping him as you've been doing.
I will.
If you need any help from me,
don't hesitate to come and talk to me.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
As we expected, Director Kang
rejected our offer coldly.
But if we work on other judges, we'll be okay.
Everything will be okay so don't worry.
Thank you very much.
Let's drink some more.
We'd better go.
Director Kang won't meet us.
Still it's worth trying.
I think that's him.
Are you Director Kang?
Yes, I am.
Nice to meet you.
I'm Yu Shinhyeok from Munreung.
Can I talk to you for a moment?
If you have time for this,
go and do more research.
I didn't come to lobby but just...
Wait.
He's really cold.
We'd better give up for now.
Let's go. I'll buy booze
and pork like I promised.
What?
Nothing.
You don't know this person?
No.
Do you have any idea why Gido went to see him?
And why Haeun wanted to see him?
No idea.
I see.
Lee Gangju!
Yes, sir.
Can we talk?
Yes.
Let's talk later.
Okay.
Lee Gangju.
Yes, go ahead.
If you don't want to be in
the local news section, just quit.
What are you talking about?
You know what I'm talking about.
No, I don't.
Listen carefully.
You are just a reporter here
not some powerful man's daughter.
Behave yourself from now on.
I didn't do anything wrong to deserve this.
Please explain well so I can understand.
What's up, without calling me first?
Why did you do that?
When did I ever say that it's hard
to work in the local news section?
Even if I did, how could you ask
my seniors to do such a favor?
I didn't know that they were all big mouths.
I wanted that section
that's why I went there.
And it was not that easy for
me to move to that section either.
You know that much.
Have a seat first.
I'm a grown up.
What you did just made me
look stupid. Do you know that?
I did it for your sake.
I was worried about you.
Worried about what?
I thought you knew better
about life in the newsroom.
I really don't understand how
you could ask them such a favor.
I admit that I made a mistake.
But I am really worried about you.
Then tell me what you're worried about.
Give me an explanation that makes sense to me.
Sometimes things can't make sense.
So we'd better stop talking for now.
Dad.
I'm begging you.
If you really care about me,
don't interfere with my work like this again.
I'll leave now.
Hi Dad.
You're early.
The big project has finished, that's why.
I'm glad you came here.
Please go and see her.
She's been drinking from early evening.
She's so stubborn.
She doesn't want to stop.
Please go and talk to her.
Hello.
Hey, Eunha!
It's good to see you here.
I was looking for company.
Have a seat. Drink with me.
Did something bad happen to you?
Do I have to have a reason for drinking?
Here. I'll pour.
This is the Choi Dongchan
that I told you about before.
Nice to meet you, Party Chairman Kim.
I'm Choi Dongchan.
I've heard a lot about you.
Have a seat.
He's trustworthy.
He's a man of ability.
He'll do a good job for our party.
You're too kind.
But if you trust and help me this time,
I'll return your favor somehow.
Hello.
Do I know you?
Ah...You probably forgot.
That I met you at the supporter's
association for Assemblyman Lee Taejun.
I'm sorry. I really have a bad memory.
Don't be.
I'm Choi Dongchan.
Your name sounds familiar
to me for some reason.
It's a common name, that's why.
Is it?
Nice to meet you anyway.
See you next time.
What are you doing here?
I have something important to take care of.
Excuse me. See you.
See you.
Where is Party Chairman Kim?
He left earlier because of an appointment.
I just met Yu Shinhyeok.
Me too.
Who's that?
He's Steven Lee. I mentioned him.
I see.
Let's go.
Is he Assemblyman Lee?
Yes.
I'm really looking forward to this work.
This is the first time for me
to cheat an assemblyman
and it's the biggest fraud in my life.
Can I really believe you?
Believe what?
The money you promised to
give me for completing this job.
Don't worry about it.
But what do you want
to do with that money?
I'll live a great life.
I'll buy a car, nice clothes, big house
and buy all the children
in the orphanage candies.
You're a good person.
This is the first time I've
heard that I'm a good person.
What if the real Steven Lee shows up?
Don't worry. I'll finish
everything before that happens.
Lee Ganju.
Hi Ganju.
It's Eunha.
I'm really okay.
Let me have just one more bottle, okay?
You're drunk.
Please stop drinking.
I'm not drunk.
That means you're drunk.
Don't be stubborn and stop drinking.
Hi.
How are you?
I'm fine but she's not.
I didn't know where to
call so I called you first.
I didn't want her family worried.
That's good.
Gangju, wake up.
Hi. Shinhyeok.
Please get up.
I don't want to.
How about you sit here and
drink together with me.
She should go home and have a rest.
Can you walk?
Of course.
Sorry for your trouble.
Don't be. Just bring her
home safely. Here's her bag.
I don't have to go home. I can sleep at work.
See you next time.
Take care.
Thanks.
Take care.
See you.
Goodness, I haven't paid yet.
Can you pay for me?
No, you don't have to.
It's okay.
Really? Thank you!
I'll call you some time.
When you have time, please visit me.
I will.
He really looks like Haeun.
See you.
Take care.
I have to thank Eunha.
Because I actually wanted to see you.
Are those two dating?
I don't know.
I think I'm right.
I can tell that at once.
I hope you meet someone nice too.
What's this?
Gangju probably left this.
This is...
What is it?
Wake up.
We've arrived at your work.
Why don't you go home instead of here?
Thank you.
Please stop drinking too much.
You could have an accident.
I feel much better now.
Drive safely. I'll call you.
Go on in.
I'm so sorry about my father's thing.
Mrm Kim must have said something
to you. He didn't have to.
It won't happen again. I made sure
my father won't do that again.
It was nothing. Don't worry.
I heard you're working on a feature story.
I haven't done enough
to tell you anything yet.
What is it about?
It's about a murdered cop who
was in charged of violent crimes.
That can't be a feature story.
I think he was murdered while he
was investigating a 20 year old case.
Is it just based on your guess or evidence?
I'm still looking for some evidence.
Let me know how you go.
Okay.
You smell of alcohol.
Sorry.
Hello. It's Gangju.
Let's meet now.
Where is he now?
Do you know Yang Mancheol?
Is his name Yang Mancheol?
How do you know him?
This is the guy.
Who?
This is the one who left
Haeun with me 20 years ago.
Are you sure?
I'm definitely sure.
But why do you have
this guy's photo with you?
Eunha too?
Yes, if we had a good score due to the
lighthouse idea, she should go too.
And we should go to Director Kang's
house instead of his office. He's there.
I see.
How did you go with a gift for Director Kang?
We left a car in front of his
house and put the key in the mailbox.
But he reported it as a scofflaw's
vehicle so the car's been towed away.
What about the money in the trunk?
He didn't take it either.
I see.
You can wait in the car.
Your legs must be sore.
I'm okay.
Hello.
I don't think it will work.
Then Gido knew that
Haeun was Ganghyeok.
Right. I came here to lobby.
But I won't bribe you.
I'll just do the best lobbying we can do.
Please listen to us for a moment.
I'm begging you.
You don't need to do any lobbying.
All I need is your best performance.
Don't misunderstand what I'm saying but
I came here because I want our actual
performance to be assessed properly.
You know you aren't always
treated fairly in this world.
We just need 10 minutes.
Please.
Our priority isn't building a
convention center which will make
a lot of profit but making it
as a symbol of Gangwondo.
Of course, we intend to
employ the right structural techniques
befitting the climate of the area.
So you designed this, right?
Yes.
Which functions do these lighthouses have?
They look like they're for show.
I was born and lived until I was a
middle school girl in Gangwondo.
When I was young,
I was scared of the night sea.
But I became fine once I saw some
lighthouses shining light on the sea.
Then lighthouses became my
only playground and rest place.
They're like my friends.
I want people to have fun and relax
when they come to these lighthouses,
and to make good memory there
so they want to come back again.
On the way here, I heard
something good on the radio.
The announcer with a pretty voice said that
she wanted to say something like
this about far off future days:
"I really had a good life, just like
my heart told me how."
Let's start assessing.
Mr. Yu!
Vice President!
We won!
Really?
Yes.
Our score was very close to J&C again,
but we had a perfect score in the
design and structure section. That help.
Good on you!
You did a great job.
We got it! We beat J&C!
Is that really true?
Yes! This is our first victory against J&C!
It's me, Jinwu.
Hi.
Congratulations.
Thanks.
It was against my expectation but I
want to admit you won nicely this time.
I think I didn't know about you well.
I'm actually glad that you
finally become a real rival to me.
Your thoughts are too
obvious to make it as my rival.

Welcome.
I've been waiting for you.
Haeun.
Don't call me Haeun.
The night you betrayed me,
I threw out that name.
When my twin brother
who I met for the first time in 20 years
was dying instead of me, I died too.
After all, I wasn't the only one you betrayed.
You couldn't even imagine how
much he suffered for 20 years
because he thought he had let
me die in that car accident.
And I had to watch him dying
because you, the one I thought was my best friend
turned your back against me.
Do you know how much that hurts me?
I did something unforgiveable.
Forgive me.
Please, Haeun.
I kept thinking about why you had to do that to me.
There must have been a reason.
There probably was.
There really must have
been some kind of reason.
There must've been some reason you couldn't
do anything about...I thought about it many times.
And so I waited so you can find me.
I made a path for you and waited for you.
I wanted to forgive you,
I wanted to forgive you.
So I was waiting for you.
But I...
I can't forgive you.
I don't deserve to be forgiven.
I'm sorry, Haeun.
I really am.
I'm sorry...
I'm thankful that you're still alive.
I really am.
I'm so glad that you didn't die.
Haeun.
Thank you.
I'm so sorry.
I really am.
I'm so sorry.
I'm so sorry.
- Thanks. Bye
- Take care.
The vice president is away at the moment.
Do you know when he'll be back?
He hasn't called me yet so I don't know.
Is it something urgent?
No, it isn't. It's just...
Would you like to have some tea?
No thanks.
I came to give you something.
I think you're the one who should keep this.
I think this is your father's...
Haeun had kept it all the time
since he first came to my house.
Haeun...he thought of it as a compass for his life.
Who he is...
Where he came from...
He thought that compass
would direct him to find the way.
And that's why he became a cop.
Eunha!
This is precious to you too.
Please keep this with you.
You don't have to return it to me.
I actually hesitated to.
Because I feel like I'm letting
Haeun go by giving it away.
But this is more precious to you.
I've already received too many things from Haeun.
They're enough for me.
He would have thought the same,
that he received so many things from you
that he couldn't possibly be happier than he was.
Sucheol, where have you been all this time?
Officer Ham kept looking
for you and the Chinese murder...
We'll start investigating undercover from today.
Investigating undercover?
Who are we looking for?
Park Sangcheol.
We don't know where he is.
He might've run away to China...
Is this Yang Mancheol's house?
Do you happen to know Lim Daeshik?
Is this Yang Mancheol's house?
A man named Lim Daeshik before?
I see. Thanks anyway.
I think I'm going to go crazy.
Shinhyeok was most comfortable
when he was with Gangju.
Is this Gangreung Prison?
I'm a reporter from KSB.
My name's Gangju.
I want to know about a lifer
there named Yang Mancheol.
Are you going home?
Well met!
Let's go somewhere together.
Where?
Just follow me.
I should've thanked you earlier for
looking after my daughter, Director Min.
It's okay. You don't have to say that.
I heard that once you start digging,
no one can escape from you, Mr. Kim.
He has a very sharp eye.
That's why he's had a lot of scoops.
How lucky Gangju is to
have you as her direct senior!
She's too curious so I'm
sure that she must bother you a lot.
She can find something suspicious
in ordinary stories. That's her strength.
All parents would be the same.
When I hear good things about her, I'm so glad.
When I see her having a hard time,
that worries me more than anything.
She sometimes makes me
happy and sometimes worried.
As a father, I actually
want to ask you a big favor.
Tell me.
Every section is hard but the
local news section can be really tough.
I'm worried whether it might
not be too hard on Gangju.
And she's still got so many things to learn.
I'm worried that she might
be overestimating herself.
So what do you want to ask me?
So I'm wondering if you can
send her to another section,
where she can learn more
and her mistakes won't be taken too seriously.
You shouldn't worry about her.
Mr. Kim rarely praises anyone but
he often says good things about her, right?
She's better than anyone.
And there's no section where
mistakes won't be taken seriously.
I think I made a mistake.
Don't take what I said too seriously.
I'm worrying about Gangju as a father.
It's nothing more than that.
I understand.
But a newsroom is a very strict organization.
I can't just say do this, do that
and no one would accept it either.
Of course I know that.
I'm glad you understand.
All my juniors have parents.
I'm sure their parents also care
about their children as much as you do.
I was just trying to help.
I guess I wasn't thinking.
Please don't take this the wrong way,
Director Min. You too, Mr. Kim.
Thank you for your time.
You're welcome. Take care.
Sorry for the trouble.
I'll talk to Gangju later.
What's she reporting on these days?
Nothing special.
She's working on a feature story but
she keeps putting off giving me her outline.
A feature story?
Have you been home?
Yes.
You should've told me.
I thought you would come to see
me on the way home form work.
So what's the urgent thing you wanted to talk about.
Let me have a drink first.
I found him.
I found out who Ganghyeok
was going to meet in Gangwondo.
What do you mean?
Didn't I tell you before?
Ganghyeok wanted to see
someone urgently in Gangreung.
So who was it?
A lifer named Mancheol in Gangreung Prison.
I also found out by the aid of my senior
that Haeun's boss, Gido met Mancheol.
On the same day they met,
Gido was stabbed at the bus terminal.
And the one who found Gido
at the site of the accident was Ganghyeok.
Eunha said Ganghyeok got a phone call
from Gido and rushed to the terminal.
I feel like eating some kimbap all of a sudden.
Come on!
Keep going.
What's wrong with you?
I'm talking really seriously.
Do you care about Ganghyeok or not?
What you're saying is
too complicated to understand.
Write it down and give it to me later.
What I'm saying is Gido was stabbed
and soon after Haeun's case blew up.
That doesn't look like a coincidence.
It looks like someone wanted to buy their silence.
Which means Haeun and Gido
were working on the same case.
The same case?
I'm sure Haeun's case is related
to your father's car accident 20 years ago.
I have to know the relation between Daeshik
and Mancheol and the car accident 20 years ago.
You're sharper than I thought.
Thanks.
But it's not because I was smart,
but thanks to my guardian angel.
Guardian angel?
Yes, my invisible helper.
That sounds a little bit worrying.
What?
Don't trust anyone too easily.
Maybe it's not your guardian angel.
I'll bear that in mind.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
Just call me next time.
What?
We can talk about these issues on the phone.
It's too serious a matter
to just say on the phone.
I'm disappointed. I did it for you.
I just don't want to
take too much of your time.
Drive safely.
How do you do?
I've booked a room.
May I ask your name, sir?
Steven Lee.
Wait a moment, please.
Did you book from Hong Kong?
That's right.
Could you please wait just a second?
We have Steven Lee here.
Yes.
Yes, I see.
How do you do?
Thank you for coming to our hotel.
Come this way please.
Mr. Lee, the aide?
Aren't you Mr. Lee the aide?
Yes. Do I know you?
I'm Steven Lee from Lion Funds.
We met at Assemblyman Lee's
guest lecture at Harvard University.
I see.
You don't remember.
Yes, I think I remember you.
I understand. You probably meet
a lot of people all the time.
Thank you for your understanding.
When did you come to Korea?
Just today from Hong Kong.
Please tell Assemblyman Lee
that I want to see him.
I will.
I'd like to talk to
someone who's staying here.
His name is Steven Lee from Lion Funds.
He's just arrived today from Hong Kong.
I see.
Can you wait a little bit?
He's on his way to his room.
Sure.
Is the appointment with
the party chairman today?
No, it's tomorrow.
I already called Choi Dongchan about that.
Now everyone thinks they can work in politics.
What's happening with
Star Hotel's management issue?
It looks like Mr. Jeong decided to
give Choi Dongchan Star Hotel.
But there's a rumor that Mr. Jeong's
wife is lobbying board members.
I see. Go back to your work.
Do you remember Steven Lee by any chance?
Steven Lee?
He was at your lecture at Harvard University.
He's president of Lion Funds in Asia.
I read the article about
that company's rapid growth.
But what about him?
He's staying at Star Hotel and I saw
Yu Shinhyeok go to see him.
Really?
Who did you say sent me this?
It's Kim Nuin.
Kim Nuin?
I've never heard of that name.
Are you sure this is for me?
Yes.
Did that person leave a name card?
I just got an order on the phone at my gallery.
Any contact number?
Nothing.
Do you have enough money?
You need a lot of money
to buy shares in Star Hotel.
Do you know the rule of the circle?
Rule of the circle?
The beginning of a circle
is also the end of it.
In other words, all things
end where they begin.
So?
We start with Sangguk's money
and finish with his money too.
You're much harsher than I thought.
Nothing's too scary for a
person who's been to hell before.
I'm home.
Hi. You must be tired.
No. Is the chairman home?
He's taking a shower.
Have you eaten?
Oppah, have some dumpling soup.
Eunha's dumplings taste great.
Really?
Yes.
You should try some.
I'm okay.
Why not? Didn't you say
you want to fix your allergy?
Yes, but I didn't say I already fixed it.
I'll go and wash.
Okay.
Mom, I think Shinhyeok
is still dating Gangju.
He looked like he went out
after he got a phone call from her.
Really?
In the final assessment,
J&C and we had an even score.
Even score?
Yes. Reassessment will be
carried out in 3 days.
I see.
This case is really rare so
it's been the talk of the trade.
That's good.
It looked like we had no
chance to beat J&C, but
we got a good score because of the
environmentally friendly aesthetics.
They're very wise judges, aren't they?
Mr. Ahn.
Yes, sir.
Now we know who
the final judges are, right?
Yes, the list's been disclosed to the public.
What's going on?
You were brimming with confidence!
I'm sorry.
But in the reassessment--
We almost won!
How could you let this go to a reassessment?
You had all the support
and you couldn't follow through?
I'm sorry.
When is the reassessment?
It's in 3 days.
Before Mureung gets into action,
I'll make the first move.
Even I was surprised by the result.
It's totally unexpected.
We still have the reassessment.
No matter what the final result will be,
you made a big contribution to this one.
This is a result of you not giving up.
This is credit to the design and interior team.
The lighthouse concept was really helpful too.
I heard that.
Eunha designed that, right?
Yes.
She's not only nice, but is also
competent and has a lot of drive.
Thanks to you, we made this one.
I did nothing.
People think we got a good
score due to the lighthouse idea.
You did a really good job.
You can't just be happy like that.
What do you mean?
Maybe you're creating a monster.
Eunha can take your position from you.
You might be right.
Just do an average job and
don't think of taking my position.
I'll bear that in mind.
Who are the final judges?
Ho Junyong from Rural & Urban,
Kang Jinguk from Construction
Lee Dongjun from Housing,
Kim Daeil from J. Engineering, etc.
Arrange a meeting with them.
We don't have enough time.
Okay.
But it will be difficult to get Kang Jinguk.
He's very famous for
being a goody two shoes.
Is he?
Yes. He's principled. He doesn't accept
any lobbying from related firms.
What a man! Is he influential?
He's a dab hand at selecting the right company.
He possesses the confidence of his seniors.
Then J&C's lobbying won't work on him.
But he's not the only judge.
If J&C lobbies the other judges
but him, it won't look good at all.
Don't you want to eat?
The soup is getting cold.
Eat first, then we can talk about work later.
Okay.
Don't bother me and leave my room.
Please play it once more with me.
My company examination is coming soon.
You'll pass it without studying.
Please leave me alone.
We're even so we need a tiebreaker.
Come on, Eunha.
No.
Please.
No.
Just once.
Just once.
Just once, okay.
I won!
Mr. Ahn.
I heard you've been working very
hard on the convention center project.
The vice president is
the one who's working hard.
I always appreciate you
for assisting him so well.
No. I hardly do anything.
Modesty is also your merit.
I just want to talk to you not as
your boss but as Shinhyeok's father.
It's because I have something
to ask you about him.
The first thing parents do after they
eat is to worry about their children.
I too, worry needlessly.
I think Shinhyeok looks nervous
these days for some reason.
I'm not sure if I'm overly concerned, but I'm
worried if something has happened to him.
I thought you'd know best about him.
That's why I called you.
I'm afraid that I don't
know anything in particular.
Really?
Yes, sir.
But...
he's become really flexible and
active so a lot of the staff
feel closer to him and
more comfortable with him.
Then that's a good change.
Yes.
Then I have nothing to worry about.
Just keep helping him as you've been doing.
I will.
If you need any help from me,
don't hesitate to come and talk to me.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
As we expected, Director Kang
rejected our offer coldly.
But if we work on other judges, we'll be okay.
Everything will be okay so don't worry.
Thank you very much.
Let's drink some more.
We'd better go.
Director Kang won't meet us.
Still it's worth trying.
I think that's him.
Are you Director Kang?
Yes, I am.
Nice to meet you.
I'm Yu Shinhyeok from Munreung.
Can I talk to you for a moment?
If you have time for this,
go and do more research.
I didn't come to lobby but just...
Wait.
He's really cold.
We'd better give up for now.
Let's go. I'll buy booze
and pork like I promised.
What?
Nothing.
You don't know this person?
No.
Do you have any idea why Gido went to see him?
And why Haeun wanted to see him?
No idea.
I see.
Lee Gangju!
Yes, sir.
Can we talk?
Yes.
Let's talk later.
Okay.
Lee Gangju.
Yes, go ahead.
If you don't want to be in
the local news section, just quit.
What are you talking about?
You know what I'm talking about.
No, I don't.
Listen carefully.
You are just a reporter here
not some powerful man's daughter.
Behave yourself from now on.
I didn't do anything wrong to deserve this.
Please explain well so I can understand.
What's up, without calling me first?
Why did you do that?
When did I ever say that it's hard
to work in the local news section?
Even if I did, how could you ask
my seniors to do such a favor?
I didn't know that they were all big mouths.
I wanted that section
that's why I went there.
And it was not that easy for
me to move to that section either.
You know that much.
Have a seat first.
I'm a grown up.
What you did just made me
look stupid. Do you know that?
I did it for your sake.
I was worried about you.
Worried about what?
I thought you knew better
about life in the newsroom.
I really don't understand how
you could ask them such a favor.
I admit that I made a mistake.
But I am really worried about you.
Then tell me what you're worried about.
Give me an explanation that makes sense to me.
Sometimes things can't make sense.
So we'd better stop talking for now.
Dad.
I'm begging you.
If you really care about me,
don't interfere with my work like this again.
I'll leave now.
Hi Dad.
You're early.
The big project has finished, that's why.
I'm glad you came here.
Please go and see her.
She's been drinking from early evening.
She's so stubborn.
She doesn't want to stop.
Please go and talk to her.
Hello.
Hey, Eunha!
It's good to see you here.
I was looking for company.
Have a seat. Drink with me.
Did something bad happen to you?
Do I have to have a reason for drinking?
Here. I'll pour.
This is the Choi Dongchan
that I told you about before.
Nice to meet you, Party Chairman Kim.
I'm Choi Dongchan.
I've heard a lot about you.
Have a seat.
He's trustworthy.
He's a man of ability.
He'll do a good job for our party.
You're too kind.
But if you trust and help me this time,
I'll return your favor somehow.
Hello.
Do I know you?
Ah...You probably forgot.
That I met you at the supporter's
association for Assemblyman Lee Taejun.
I'm sorry. I really have a bad memory.
Don't be.
I'm Choi Dongchan.
Your name sounds familiar
to me for some reason.
It's a common name, that's why.
Is it?
Nice to meet you anyway.
See you next time.
What are you doing here?
I have something important to take care of.
Excuse me. See you.
See you.
Where is Party Chairman Kim?
He left earlier because of an appointment.
I just met Yu Shinhyeok.
Me too.
Who's that?
He's Steven Lee. I mentioned him.
I see.
Let's go.
Is he Assemblyman Lee?
Yes.
I'm really looking forward to this work.
This is the first time for me
to cheat an assemblyman
and it's the biggest fraud in my life.
Can I really believe you?
Believe what?
The money you promised to
give me for completing this job.
Don't worry about it.
But what do you want
to do with that money?
I'll live a great life.
I'll buy a car, nice clothes, big house
and buy all the children
in the orphanage candies.
You're a good person.
This is the first time I've
heard that I'm a good person.
What if the real Steven Lee shows up?
Don't worry. I'll finish
everything before that happens.
Lee Ganju.
Hi Ganju.
It's Eunha.
I'm really okay.
Let me have just one more bottle, okay?
You're drunk.
Please stop drinking.
I'm not drunk.
That means you're drunk.
Don't be stubborn and stop drinking.
Hi.
How are you?
I'm fine but she's not.
I didn't know where to
call so I called you first.
I didn't want her family worried.
That's good.
Gangju, wake up.
Hi. Shinhyeok.
Please get up.
I don't want to.
How about you sit here and
drink together with me.
She should go home and have a rest.
Can you walk?
Of course.
Sorry for your trouble.
Don't be. Just bring her
home safely. Here's her bag.
I don't have to go home. I can sleep at work.
See you next time.
Take care.
Thanks.
Take care.
See you.
Goodness, I haven't paid yet.
Can you pay for me?
No, you don't have to.
It's okay.
Really? Thank you!
I'll call you some time.
When you have time, please visit me.
I will.
He really looks like Haeun.
See you.
Take care.
I have to thank Eunha.
Because I actually wanted to see you.
Are those two dating?
I don't know.
I think I'm right.
I can tell that at once.
I hope you meet someone nice too.
What's this?
Gangju probably left this.
This is...
What is it?
Wake up.
We've arrived at your work.
Why don't you go home instead of here?
Thank you.
Please stop drinking too much.
You could have an accident.
I feel much better now.
Drive safely. I'll call you.
Go on in.
I'm so sorry about my father's thing.
Mrm Kim must have said something
to you. He didn't have to.
It won't happen again. I made sure
my father won't do that again.
It was nothing. Don't worry.
I heard you're working on a feature story.
I haven't done enough
to tell you anything yet.
What is it about?
It's about a murdered cop who
was in charged of violent crimes.
That can't be a feature story.
I think he was murdered while he
was investigating a 20 year old case.
Is it just based on your guess or evidence?
I'm still looking for some evidence.
Let me know how you go.
Okay.
You smell of alcohol.
Sorry.
Hello. It's Gangju.
Let's meet now.
Where is he now?
Do you know Yang Mancheol?
Is his name Yang Mancheol?
How do you know him?
This is the guy.
Who?
This is the one who left
Haeun with me 20 years ago.
Are you sure?
I'm definitely sure.
But why do you have
this guy's photo with you?
Eunha too?
Yes, if we had a good score due to the
lighthouse idea, she should go too.
And we should go to Director Kang's
house instead of his office. He's there.
I see.
How did you go with a gift for Director Kang?
We left a car in front of his
house and put the key in the mailbox.
But he reported it as a scofflaw's
vehicle so the car's been towed away.
What about the money in the trunk?
He didn't take it either.
I see.
You can wait in the car.
Your legs must be sore.
I'm okay.
Hello.
I don't think it will work.
Then Gido knew that
Haeun was Ganghyeok.
Right. I came here to lobby.
But I won't bribe you.
I'll just do the best lobbying we can do.
Please listen to us for a moment.
I'm begging you.
You don't need to do any lobbying.
All I need is your best performance.
Don't misunderstand what I'm saying but
I came here because I want our actual
performance to be assessed properly.
You know you aren't always
treated fairly in this world.
We just need 10 minutes.
Please.
Our priority isn't building a
convention center which will make
a lot of profit but making it
as a symbol of Gangwondo.
Of course, we intend to
employ the right structural techniques
befitting the climate of the area.
So you designed this, right?
Yes.
Which functions do these lighthouses have?
They look like they're for show.
I was born and lived until I was a
middle school girl in Gangwondo.
When I was young,
I was scared of the night sea.
But I became fine once I saw some
lighthouses shining light on the sea.
Then lighthouses became my
only playground and rest place.
They're like my friends.
I want people to have fun and relax
when they come to these lighthouses,
and to make good memory there
so they want to come back again.
On the way here, I heard
something good on the radio.
The announcer with a pretty voice said that
she wanted to say something like
this about far off future days:
"I really had a good life, just like
my heart told me how."
Let's start assessing.
Mr. Yu!
Vice President!
We won!
Really?
Yes.
Our score was very close to J&C again,
but we had a perfect score in the
design and structure section. That help.
Good on you!
You did a great job.
We got it! We beat J&C!
Is that really true?
Yes! This is our first victory against J&C!
It's me, Jinwu.
Hi.
Congratulations.
Thanks.
It was against my expectation but I
want to admit you won nicely this time.
I think I didn't know about you well.
I'm actually glad that you
finally become a real rival to me.
Your thoughts are too
obvious to make it as my rival.
