Revenge (2005–…): Season 1, Episode 18 - Episode #1.18 - full transcript
Episode 18
Boss!
Boss!
Boss!
Boss!
It wasn't a suicide.
I have to go to Gangwon-do.
I'm Gido. What is your name?
Gido? Then I'm Sangdo.
I like you.
Choi Dongchan is the one.
If you're not careful, you could get hurt
like Detective Yu did.
What happened to him?
He died.
Even his son?
He didn't die.
What was his name? Maybe it was Haeun...
Boss!
Boss!
Boss!
Ganghyeok.
Your father was in charge of investigating
the corruption related to that case at
his work 20 years ago.
We should add some environment friendly
clauses to the construction law to raise
the level of construction
to that of more developed nations.
and pass laws protecting the environment
by reducing air pollution and promoting
the development of alternative energies.
I don't recall anything.
What do you need to know that for?
Then I would know that, particularly
if it was related to J&C.
We just got word that Gido might
wake up soon.
Really?
Yes. I'll tell you more after
I come back from the hospital.
Thanks.
Do you think he's really going
to wake up?
His lungs are very damaged
but his brain was okay at first.
So there's a good chance he'll regain
consciousness within several days.
We'll watch him for 2 more days
then we'll do a CT and xray again.
Thank you very much. Thanks.
He'll come around soon.
Thank you.
May I ask your name?
I'm Shinhyeok.
I just heard that Haeun was
Geonha's son a few days ago.
Yes.
So I couldn't tell her anything about
Haeun when your mother came here.
How is she? Is she okay?
The gentleman there.
He looks just like Haeun...
He's Haeun's brother.
Brother?
Twin brother.
Did Haeun have a twin brother?
Yes.
When did you find that out?
Recently.
Then why are you telling me this now?
It's me.
You'd better apply for police
protection for the boss.
Police protection?
If Dongchan knows that Gido is
waking up, he'll do something.
I understand.
You shouldn't leave him alone in
the room until the police protect him.
Tell the same thing to his wife. Thanks.
I called because I'm worried about you.
Have you eaten anything?
Yes. And Shinhyeok just called me to say
Mr. Gyeong looks like he's coming to.
Really?
I'm glad to hear that.
Assemblyman Lee conducted an inspection
due to corruption
in the Ministry of Construction.
Are you sure about that?
Yes, I am.
How do you remember things so
accurately? It's already 20 years ago.
Thanks to a detective.
What do you mean?
I was very close to the detective
who was in charge of the case.
He was tenacious about investigating
that case.
You're talking about Yu Geonha, right?
Yes. How do you know him?
I happen to learn of his name
while covering it.
But why was he so obsessed with
that case?
It was a depression related suicide.
He didn't think it was.
You know why?
He didn't want to tell me until
he got some evidence.
I never had a chance to hear that
anyway because he died of an accident.
There won't be many things left to cover
but your father is the best person
to talk with if you want to know
more details.
I see.
Lee Gangju speaking.
I'm sorry to make you come this far.
Don't be. I should've come
to see you earlier.
It's okay.
I have something to ask you.
Tell.
I want to know why Ganghyeok died.
It's okay.
Just tell me as much as you know.
As his mother, I should know why he died.
Gido hasn't recovered fully yet
but it will be a problem
if he regains consciousness.
He wouldn't find any evidence
but he heard something from Mancheol.
That's what I'm worried about.
He hasn't regain consciousness yet
so just watch him for a while.
I see.
And how are you going with my
nomination for provincial assemblyman?
I haven't heard anything from Chief Kim.
You were caught selling duty-free
liquor, right?
What are you talking about?
One of the nominees tipped off
the committee chairman.
That's nothing. It's quite common
in the liquor business.
The smallest thing can ruin a big thing.
If you want to be a public official,
you'd better be more careful.
I'm sorry.
But I don't think my nomination can go
wrong just because of that.
I know you're really looking after
that well.
I can't guarantee it, because the issue
of your qualifications has been raised.
I have many things to say about
that subject as well.
Every politician has a skeleton
in his closet.
You often forget something.
What do you mean by that?
The giant whose shoulders you are
riding on is actually me.
I didn't forget that.
But if I go down, I won't go down
alone, Mr. Assemblyman.
Mr. Yu Shinhyeok is here to see you.
I'll call you later.
Then Geonha didn't die of an accident.
And Ganghyeok was murdered while
he was investigating Geonha's case?
It looks like it.
But why? And who did it?
I don't know yet.
Do you have any hunches?
No.
Ganghyeok found out he had a
twin brother before he died.
So he tried to meet Shinhyeok.
What do you mean by that?
Ganghyeok went to the hotel
where Shinhyeok was staying.
But they couldn't meet.
You mean when Shinhyeok went
to Gangreung?
Yes.
I'm home.
When did you get here?
A while ago.
How come you're home so early?
I was worried about mom. My mom is
more important than my studies.
I'm a nice daughter, aren't I?
Are you ok?
Is something wrong?
What? You don't call before coming?
I came to ask you whether you met
with Steven Lee or not.
I tried hard but Lion Funds had already
decided to give the work to J&C.
There was nothing I could do.
I see.
I'm sorry that I couldn't help you much.
Don't be.
I kind of predicted that. Steven Lee
didn't look like he'd change easily.
By the way, how's your mother?
She's having a hard time.
Of course she is. She lost her child.
I have another thing to worry about.
If my mother knows that my father
didn't die of an accident
she will be traumatized.
What do you mean by it not being
an accident?
I'm not sure yet, but I heard that
there is a possibility.
Who told you that?
Gangju did.
Ganghyeok went to the hotel where
Shinhyeok was staying.
But they couldn't meet.
What about placing policemen there?
He said he would ask the chief about
that, but it looks hard because he has
to report to the National Police
Agency too.
We can guard the boss in rotation.
We can't do that 24 hours
but let's make a schedule with his wife.
Okay.
You should've done a proper job.
Then we wouldn't have this mess now.
Don't worry too much.
How can't I? Things keep going wrong.
Even if he comes around,
there's no witness and no evidence.
Seo Haeun is gone too.
Whatever he says will be considered
mere conjecture.
But do you remember the letter
you received?
Did anything happen after that?
Do you really know nothing about
that letter?
If so, I would've done something.
I don't have anyone I can trust.
What do you mean by that?
Leave.
- I'm always...
- I said leave.
How about making it more colorful?
That's a good idea.
We can give some more artdeco like
colors.
That's right.
Here's the vice president.
Mr. Yu!
Where have you been?
We went to look for some samples for
the model house.
Remember you went to Gangreung because
of the convention project?
Yes.
What kind of person is Mr. Kim
who came from the provincial office?
I don't know. I met so many
people there.
Why are you asking that?
I had to call him regarding a design
matter and he was very fussy with me.
Really?
Well, follow their opinions for now.
And I'll go to the interior team soon.
Okay.
When did the vice president go
to Gangreung?
Why?
Just curious.
It was about the 2nd week of last month.
That makes it about the 11th, right?
Yes, it must be.
Listen carefully.
I don't care who she's looking for
because I'm the one looking for Eunha.
As you can see, the procedure schedule
is really tight.
So we have to rush the work from today.
Eunha, interior team.
It's Jinwu.
Did you go home okay that night?
Even if we rush the construction work
we can't make it.
Today?
Don't be stubborn.
Then where shall we meet?
No, I'll go there.
Okay, then.
How did it go?
The rumor is spreading a lot faster than
expected, even though the stock market
is meant to be sensitive to rumors.
What do you mean?
The bad rumors about Star Hotel
are spreading so fast
that people are selling their shares.
There is a rumor that we used private
loans in the takeover of Star Hotel.
So? That's a common thing to do
in a takeover process.
That's not the problem.
There's another rumor that J&C Group had
no cash flowing so we couldn't pay wages
and had to sell hotel customers'
information to cover the loans.
That makes no sense.
Where did that rumor come from?
I'm looking for it now but it spread
too fast to counter it.
I checked with Seven Capital which
attracted the funds, and they also
looked like they were in a real fix.
Really?
I have no idea why those kinds of
rumors spread.
You're right.
Anyway, I won't change my mind
so you just need to keep your promise.
I'll take care of other things
so stop worrying about it, Director Shin.
I know nothing about managing a hotel.
I started this only because I trust you.
What brings you here unannounced?
I have something to ask you.
I don't have much time.
Why did you say you know nothing
about it?
What are you talking about now?
I heard that you were in
charge of investigating
the corruption related to the manager
who committed suicide 20 years ago.
I couldn't understand that, so I came
here to ask you.
I don't know what you can't understand.
As you said, it was 20 years ago
when I did that job.
It's impossible for me to remember
everything.
I had so many things to take care of
at the time...
I know it's impossible for you
to remember everything.
Then what?
But I don't think you can forget
that suicide case.
What do you mean by that?
Shinhyeok's father was in charge of
that case 20 years ago.
I'm sure he probably went to see you
regarding the matter.
There were several construction
companies suspected of bribery.
Sangguk Corporation was one of them.
Sangguk and Shinhyeok's father were
both your best friends.
That's why I don't understand you
not remembering anything about that.
So what are you trying to say?
If there's anything you're hiding
from me, please tell me.
I feel like I'm being cross examined
by you.
If so, I'm sorry.
but I don't want to put you in
an awkward situation.
All I want to know is the truth.
After I heard what you said, I can
understand why you had doubts about it.
But now I think you were over sensitive.
I couldn't remember it only because
I didn't take that case seriously.
That's all.
Are you serious?
Are you going to say you don't
believe me?
NO. It's nothing like that.
I just realized that you have a lot
of guts as a reporter.
I'd better go.
I'm sorry that I can't even have dinner
with you.
Me too. It's been ages since we had
dinner together.
Let's try to spend more time together
like today from now on.
Do you happen to know Choi Dongchan?
He's president of New Star Hotel.
Oh that one! I kind of know him
through my supporter's association.
I see
Why?
Nothing.
Mr. Lee.
Yes
Of all the stories that Gangju has done
find any case which I can
use to make trouble with.
I don't understand what you mean.
The reconstruction committee
chairman keeps avoiding us.
Can't you even contact him?
No.
According to other housing union
members, he met J&C's vice president
on several occasions.
This restaurant looks ordinary
but the food is great.
And the atmosphere is good too.
I'm glad you think so.
If the sell orders keep rising and
buy orders keep falling like this,
it'll drop to 15% and hit the minimum.
You see, the rumors were based on some
evidence and won't disappear easily.
Has something happened to you?
Why don't you leave me?
I thought you'd leave.
I'm paid better working with you than
doing nothing else.
I know you don't stay with me because
of money.
Why do you think I would want to leave?
Because I'm scary.
Why should I be scared of a man with
a weak mind?
You're a good man so you won't finish off
this thing.
You'll stop in the middle of it.
I'm sure about that.
You're wrong.
Well, I think I'm right.
The car that I'm driving now has
faulty brakes.
Even though I want to stop the car,
I can't.
If what you want me to do is stop the car,
it's not too late for you to leave me now.
Then I think I should go with you until
the end, because I'm already in your car.
The destination is up to you
because you're holding the wheel now.
Can you put an ad in a newspaper?
What kind of advertisement?
An advertisement looking for someone.
I want to find Min Suyeon.
The official position at Lion Funds
is to share work 50-50
with Resource Development Affairs
in setting up a joint venture.
Assemblyman Lee strongly recommended it,
so we should find favor in it.
I thought this project would help
Resource Development Affairs
to develop alternative energy.
That's why I introduced you to each other.
I know.
But I'm afraid that we'd have to
invest large amounts of money so...
Don't worry about that.
We only have to exchange letters of
intent first, not to give any risk to you
then we can have a real contract
after the official announcement.
In that way my work won't be
at risk, right?
Yes.
When would the official announcement be?
Lion Funds need to talk about land use
tax with North Korea.
So they will have an official press
ccnference after we sort out that issue.
Are you going to see North Korean
authorities in person?
I already have a verbal agreement
with them to meet at Xinjiang
and exchange secret agreements.
I see.
And this is a report by a world famous
research center about the results
of the chemical tests on natural gas
collected in China.
I see.
Until the agreement with North Korean is
completed, I want you to be
extra careful that this issue doesn't
leak anywhere.
You didn't have to say that.
I know that much.
I think you made a mistake.
I'm sorry.
Don't be.
By the way, I think Steven Lee looks
like Assemblyman Lee.
Really?
That's my honor.
I heard about Ganghyeok from Gangju.
It was quite shocking to hear
that the one you loved was Ganghyeok.
I came here to say something.
Listen to what I have to say first.
I know that it's hard for you
whenever you see Shinhyeok.
But Shinhyeok cannot replace
the Ganghyeok you loved before.
He is only Ganghyeok's twin brother.
Jinwu...
Stop looking for Ganghyeok in him.
You'll only find it difficult.
I don't want to see you like this
and won't let you go on.
It's true that I'm confused
whenever I see Shinhyeok.
It's also true that I look
for my loved one in him.
But those are not the reasons
why I can't accept you.
There is no space in my heart
for anyone to fill.
I can wait.
Don't
But I'm so grateful for your feelings.
I'm sorry. I have to go now.
How come you're so stubborn!
And so stupid!
How long are you going to have a man
who can never come back to you?
Let go.
I know that you were with him for 20 years
so it's hard for you to forget him.
But he's gone.
- He's dead.
- Don't say that he's dead.
He's still alive in my heart.
You can't see and touch him.
But it doesn't mean he's gone.
How long will it take your boss
to recover completely?
No one can answer that.
According to his wife, it will take
one or two days.
Really?
But you're so odd.
What?
Do you not like me or something?
Why wouldn't I?
Then why do you always leave me out?
I've never done that to you.
When the boss comes around, there'll be
big progress in Haeun's case.
He knows something, right?
Nothing could be better than that.
Hello, it's me.
So did you tell everything to my mother?
Yes.
Why did you tell her that?
You know she's in shock.
Your mother wanted to know the truth.
And I thought she had to, too.
Still, it was really thoughtless of you
to tell her about my father.
Maybe he's right.
It's scary to know the truth.
That's why he sent the letter
to make me realize that.
What do you mean?
"A butterfly doesn't know how deep
the sea is, so it's not scared of it."
I'm starting to get scared.
Did something happen?
The closer I get to the truth,
the more I get scared.
What will be waiting for me
when I reach the end?
I want to know the truth.
I want to run away from the truth too.
I'm so confused today.
Then run away.
I don't know what you are scared of
but run away from it.
If I run away now, I'll regret it someday.
That I might regret it scares me
more than anything.
Go on in.
Please hug me tight
so that I'll feel a little better.
Why are you so late?
Where is your mother?
Since Gangju left here, she never
came out of her room.
Really?
I'm late because I had to meet someone.
I see.
I heard Gangju came here.
I asked her to come.
I see.
It wasn't an accident.
What do you mean?
Geonha didn't die of an accident.
And Ganghyeok was murdered
while investigating Geonha's case.
Who said that? Gangju told you that?
If that is true, I can't forgive it.
Never.
Honey?
Can you hear me?
Can you recognize me?
Can you see me?
Do you know who I am?
Thank God!
Shall I call the doctor?
Yes.
Honey!
What?
Tell me again.
Where am I?
Really?
The boss has completely come around then?
Not completely but he recognizes people.
I'm so glad to hear that.
That is so great. It really is.
I'll call you later.
What's up mom?
Did you find out who Haeun was going
to meet at the Royal Hotel in Gangreung?
Yes.
Who was it?
It was Shinhyeok.
Shinhyeok was staying in that hotel.
But he said he didn't receive
any phone call from Haeun.
He was on the run so it must have been
hard for him to call Shinhyeok
or he might not have know Shinhyeok's
room number.
But why are you asking me about this
all of a sudden?
Just out of curiosity.
Excuse me.
Hello.
It's Shinhyeok.
Hello, Mr. Yu.
My mother wants to go to your house.
Thanks.
She's outside the building.
She'll be here soon.
I'm so sorry to Eunha's family.
Don't think that way.
They were Ganghyeok's family for 20 years.
That's why I feel so ashamed to them,
as his mother.
I heard that Ganghyeok went to see you
in Gangreung.
I think he did.
Then why didn't he call you there?
He probably had a reason.
Yes, he probably did.
I'll be right back.
It would've been great if he had met you
and he wouldn't have died like that.
Can you recognize me? It's Sucheol.
I'm Dongil! Can you recognize me?
I think he can, right?
I think so.
What did the doctor say?
He was unconscious for a long time
so it will take a while for him
to recover his memory.
Does that mean he'll have amnesia?
No, he won't. He doesn't have
any problem in his brain.
The doctor said he will regain
almost his whole memory within a week.
And his stutter will gradually get better.
That's great.
Congratulations.
Ganghyeok
Ganghyeok
Ganghyeok?
Who's Ganghyeok?
I think he's looking for Haeun.
Where's Ganghyeok?
Nice to meet you. I'm Seo Jeesu.
I'm sorry.
What do you mean?
I'm so sorry and I'm so grateful.
Don't say that.
I'm a lot more sorry and grateful
than you are.
Don't be.
I heard you raised and loved Ganghyeok
just like your own son.
I don't deserve to be called his mother.
Don't say that.
I'm the one who's ashamed.
I can see that Ganghyeok lived with
wonderful people.
Thank you very much for saying that.
Please have a seat first.
Thanks.
What are you thinking about?
You haven't said anything for a long time.
I was thinking about why Haeun
didn't call you.
I know him well.
He would have called you once
he went to Royal Hotel.
But I don't understand why he couldn't.
I don't know.
It's Shinhyeok.
It's me.
Hi.
Okay, see you there.
He will almost regain his whole memory
within a week.
He still stutters but that
will get better too.
Can he move?
It will take about 2 weeks for him
to get better in his movements.
But he will have some problem breathing
because he hurt his lungs.
Haeun.
He's looking for you,
calling you Ganghyeok.
Let's go.
Haeun.
Don't you have to tell the truth at least
to Eunha that you're Haeun?
She will understand you.
It will be even more painful for her
to see me as I am now.
- But
- I
don't want to show her me as I am now.
I will go back
to who I used to be when I was Haeun.
That hope keeps me alive.
Missing person Min Suyeon.
Female, 48, worked at Ministry
of Construction 20 years ago.
Did you call me, Mr. Assemblyman?
Yes.
Find out who placed this advertisement
quietly.
Okay.
Did you see the advertisement?
Yes.
Who do you think put it in?
I'll find out.
What do you mean?
Beside the pipeline work,
I want to use our shares
to participate in a joint venture
with Lion Funds.
I'm afraid that'll be difficult.
Lion Funds already have an agreement
with Resource Development Affairs
to set up a 50-50
joint venture company.
As far as I know you haven't signed
the contract yet.
But we'll exchange letters of intent
within this week.
That's not a problem.
You can always change it.
We're not going to invest 50%.
We're thinking of just 20%
and we'll do the pipeline work too.
Aren't they advantageous terms
for Lion Funds?
I don't know.
This is totally unexpected.
I know it's hard for you to give me
a final answer right now.
Then I'll talk to headquarters first.
I'm looking forward to hearing
a positive answer.
Okay.
I want you to be very careful
with the whole joint venture thing.
Assemblyman Lee is helping them and
the Resource Development Affairs is
going to have a partnership with them.
That guarantees how safe this is.
But...
Leave everything to me.
So have the rumors about Star Hotel
quieted down a bit?
It has spread too fast to counter it.
Sell orders are rising dramatically
at the moment.
I'm worried that if the buy orders keep
falling, they might drop to the minimum.
Is there any possibility that somebody
is deliberately manipulating it?
You can't completely rule out
that possibility.
When it drops to the minimum, buy shares
through a false name bank account.
I already thought of that.
When we receive Sangguk's money,
start buying the shares in earnest.
Good afternoon.
I came back after completing
the mission successfully.
Good job.
It was so easy though.
I need some money.
Okay.
You're cool! But don't you ask me
how much I need first?
What are you going to do with the money?
I want to visit my grandmother.
I haven't seen her for 10 years.
Have you ever met her before then?
Weren't you living in the orphanage?
I met her 10 years ago but she completely
denied knowing me.
She kept saying she didn't know me.
Then why do you want to see her again?
I'm just bored, that's why.
So when are you going to give me
the money.
What the...
I should consider the samples for
the doors.
The pattern on the door doesn't
appeal much, does it?
You're right. We'd better change
the color of the wallpaper too.
Hey Haegyeong!
When did you come back to Korea?
Recently.
Then what are you doing here?
I dropped in to see Shinhyeok,
but he's away.
How do you know the vice president?
Don't you know?
He and I went to the same university.
I see. Nice to meet you anyway.
Call me. I want to buy you a drink.
Okay. See you next time.
That's how he knows the vice president.
How do you know him?
He and I went to the same middle school.
He's a director of KG now.
Then you must have gone to the same
middle school as the vice president.
With him? No way.
If so, I wouldn't have left him alone.
What's wrong?
Nothing.
Yes. This is my friend.
When was the last time we saw each other?
Where did you meet him?
At middle school.
You must've been embarrassed.
I'm home.
You're late.
Yes. Is mom sleeping?
Yes. She couldn't sleep for
several nights, so it's good.
I see.
If you're free, would you like
to have a drink with me?
It's been a long time
since I had a drink with you.
You're right.
I know you're having a hard time
because of Ganghyeok.
But I'm so proud of you and grateful
that you're coming through it all.
With everything happening these days
I think of Geonha often.
When I met him for the first time at
the high school entrance ceremony...
What can I say? He was kind of shining...
He had luster.
I was too introspective and
full of conceit to make friends
while Geonha was always surrounded
by a lot of friends.
He had something that I didn't have,
like he was humble and had grit
and determination. That's why.
He always listened to others quietly
and if he thought it was right
to do something, he didn't hesitate
to do it.
I really wanted to be like Geonha.
I admired and nursed jealousy against him
at the same time, then we became friends.
I believe you and my father
must've gotten along so well.
In every relationship you have
a kind of jealousy
against the person who's dominating you.
Jealousy?
Goenha didn't intend to dominate me
but I let myself feel dominated.
So that jealousy against him bothered me
sometimes.
He probably had jealousy against you.
Everyone longs for something that
they don't have.
I think I'm drunk. I've talked too much.
Please go to bed. You must be tired.
Good night.
Thanks
You too.
I see.
I'll be there right now.
Hello.

Boss!
It wasn't a suicide.
I have to go to Gangwon-do.
I'm Gido. What is your name?
Gido? Then I'm Sangdo.
I like you.
Choi Dongchan is the one.
If you're not careful, you could get hurt
like Detective Yu did.
What happened to him?
He died.
Even his son?
He didn't die.
What was his name? Maybe it was Haeun...
Boss!
Boss!
Boss!
Ganghyeok.
Your father was in charge of investigating
the corruption related to that case at
his work 20 years ago.
We should add some environment friendly
clauses to the construction law to raise
the level of construction
to that of more developed nations.
and pass laws protecting the environment
by reducing air pollution and promoting
the development of alternative energies.
I don't recall anything.
What do you need to know that for?
Then I would know that, particularly
if it was related to J&C.
We just got word that Gido might
wake up soon.
Really?
Yes. I'll tell you more after
I come back from the hospital.
Thanks.
Do you think he's really going
to wake up?
His lungs are very damaged
but his brain was okay at first.
So there's a good chance he'll regain
consciousness within several days.
We'll watch him for 2 more days
then we'll do a CT and xray again.
Thank you very much. Thanks.
He'll come around soon.
Thank you.
May I ask your name?
I'm Shinhyeok.
I just heard that Haeun was
Geonha's son a few days ago.
Yes.
So I couldn't tell her anything about
Haeun when your mother came here.
How is she? Is she okay?
The gentleman there.
He looks just like Haeun...
He's Haeun's brother.
Brother?
Twin brother.
Did Haeun have a twin brother?
Yes.
When did you find that out?
Recently.
Then why are you telling me this now?
It's me.
You'd better apply for police
protection for the boss.
Police protection?
If Dongchan knows that Gido is
waking up, he'll do something.
I understand.
You shouldn't leave him alone in
the room until the police protect him.
Tell the same thing to his wife. Thanks.
I called because I'm worried about you.
Have you eaten anything?
Yes. And Shinhyeok just called me to say
Mr. Gyeong looks like he's coming to.
Really?
I'm glad to hear that.
Assemblyman Lee conducted an inspection
due to corruption
in the Ministry of Construction.
Are you sure about that?
Yes, I am.
How do you remember things so
accurately? It's already 20 years ago.
Thanks to a detective.
What do you mean?
I was very close to the detective
who was in charge of the case.
He was tenacious about investigating
that case.
You're talking about Yu Geonha, right?
Yes. How do you know him?
I happen to learn of his name
while covering it.
But why was he so obsessed with
that case?
It was a depression related suicide.
He didn't think it was.
You know why?
He didn't want to tell me until
he got some evidence.
I never had a chance to hear that
anyway because he died of an accident.
There won't be many things left to cover
but your father is the best person
to talk with if you want to know
more details.
I see.
Lee Gangju speaking.
I'm sorry to make you come this far.
Don't be. I should've come
to see you earlier.
It's okay.
I have something to ask you.
Tell.
I want to know why Ganghyeok died.
It's okay.
Just tell me as much as you know.
As his mother, I should know why he died.
Gido hasn't recovered fully yet
but it will be a problem
if he regains consciousness.
He wouldn't find any evidence
but he heard something from Mancheol.
That's what I'm worried about.
He hasn't regain consciousness yet
so just watch him for a while.
I see.
And how are you going with my
nomination for provincial assemblyman?
I haven't heard anything from Chief Kim.
You were caught selling duty-free
liquor, right?
What are you talking about?
One of the nominees tipped off
the committee chairman.
That's nothing. It's quite common
in the liquor business.
The smallest thing can ruin a big thing.
If you want to be a public official,
you'd better be more careful.
I'm sorry.
But I don't think my nomination can go
wrong just because of that.
I know you're really looking after
that well.
I can't guarantee it, because the issue
of your qualifications has been raised.
I have many things to say about
that subject as well.
Every politician has a skeleton
in his closet.
You often forget something.
What do you mean by that?
The giant whose shoulders you are
riding on is actually me.
I didn't forget that.
But if I go down, I won't go down
alone, Mr. Assemblyman.
Mr. Yu Shinhyeok is here to see you.
I'll call you later.
Then Geonha didn't die of an accident.
And Ganghyeok was murdered while
he was investigating Geonha's case?
It looks like it.
But why? And who did it?
I don't know yet.
Do you have any hunches?
No.
Ganghyeok found out he had a
twin brother before he died.
So he tried to meet Shinhyeok.
What do you mean by that?
Ganghyeok went to the hotel
where Shinhyeok was staying.
But they couldn't meet.
You mean when Shinhyeok went
to Gangreung?
Yes.
I'm home.
When did you get here?
A while ago.
How come you're home so early?
I was worried about mom. My mom is
more important than my studies.
I'm a nice daughter, aren't I?
Are you ok?
Is something wrong?
What? You don't call before coming?
I came to ask you whether you met
with Steven Lee or not.
I tried hard but Lion Funds had already
decided to give the work to J&C.
There was nothing I could do.
I see.
I'm sorry that I couldn't help you much.
Don't be.
I kind of predicted that. Steven Lee
didn't look like he'd change easily.
By the way, how's your mother?
She's having a hard time.
Of course she is. She lost her child.
I have another thing to worry about.
If my mother knows that my father
didn't die of an accident
she will be traumatized.
What do you mean by it not being
an accident?
I'm not sure yet, but I heard that
there is a possibility.
Who told you that?
Gangju did.
Ganghyeok went to the hotel where
Shinhyeok was staying.
But they couldn't meet.
What about placing policemen there?
He said he would ask the chief about
that, but it looks hard because he has
to report to the National Police
Agency too.
We can guard the boss in rotation.
We can't do that 24 hours
but let's make a schedule with his wife.
Okay.
You should've done a proper job.
Then we wouldn't have this mess now.
Don't worry too much.
How can't I? Things keep going wrong.
Even if he comes around,
there's no witness and no evidence.
Seo Haeun is gone too.
Whatever he says will be considered
mere conjecture.
But do you remember the letter
you received?
Did anything happen after that?
Do you really know nothing about
that letter?
If so, I would've done something.
I don't have anyone I can trust.
What do you mean by that?
Leave.
- I'm always...
- I said leave.
How about making it more colorful?
That's a good idea.
We can give some more artdeco like
colors.
That's right.
Here's the vice president.
Mr. Yu!
Where have you been?
We went to look for some samples for
the model house.
Remember you went to Gangreung because
of the convention project?
Yes.
What kind of person is Mr. Kim
who came from the provincial office?
I don't know. I met so many
people there.
Why are you asking that?
I had to call him regarding a design
matter and he was very fussy with me.
Really?
Well, follow their opinions for now.
And I'll go to the interior team soon.
Okay.
When did the vice president go
to Gangreung?
Why?
Just curious.
It was about the 2nd week of last month.
That makes it about the 11th, right?
Yes, it must be.
Listen carefully.
I don't care who she's looking for
because I'm the one looking for Eunha.
As you can see, the procedure schedule
is really tight.
So we have to rush the work from today.
Eunha, interior team.
It's Jinwu.
Did you go home okay that night?
Even if we rush the construction work
we can't make it.
Today?
Don't be stubborn.
Then where shall we meet?
No, I'll go there.
Okay, then.
How did it go?
The rumor is spreading a lot faster than
expected, even though the stock market
is meant to be sensitive to rumors.
What do you mean?
The bad rumors about Star Hotel
are spreading so fast
that people are selling their shares.
There is a rumor that we used private
loans in the takeover of Star Hotel.
So? That's a common thing to do
in a takeover process.
That's not the problem.
There's another rumor that J&C Group had
no cash flowing so we couldn't pay wages
and had to sell hotel customers'
information to cover the loans.
That makes no sense.
Where did that rumor come from?
I'm looking for it now but it spread
too fast to counter it.
I checked with Seven Capital which
attracted the funds, and they also
looked like they were in a real fix.
Really?
I have no idea why those kinds of
rumors spread.
You're right.
Anyway, I won't change my mind
so you just need to keep your promise.
I'll take care of other things
so stop worrying about it, Director Shin.
I know nothing about managing a hotel.
I started this only because I trust you.
What brings you here unannounced?
I have something to ask you.
I don't have much time.
Why did you say you know nothing
about it?
What are you talking about now?
I heard that you were in
charge of investigating
the corruption related to the manager
who committed suicide 20 years ago.
I couldn't understand that, so I came
here to ask you.
I don't know what you can't understand.
As you said, it was 20 years ago
when I did that job.
It's impossible for me to remember
everything.
I had so many things to take care of
at the time...
I know it's impossible for you
to remember everything.
Then what?
But I don't think you can forget
that suicide case.
What do you mean by that?
Shinhyeok's father was in charge of
that case 20 years ago.
I'm sure he probably went to see you
regarding the matter.
There were several construction
companies suspected of bribery.
Sangguk Corporation was one of them.
Sangguk and Shinhyeok's father were
both your best friends.
That's why I don't understand you
not remembering anything about that.
So what are you trying to say?
If there's anything you're hiding
from me, please tell me.
I feel like I'm being cross examined
by you.
If so, I'm sorry.
but I don't want to put you in
an awkward situation.
All I want to know is the truth.
After I heard what you said, I can
understand why you had doubts about it.
But now I think you were over sensitive.
I couldn't remember it only because
I didn't take that case seriously.
That's all.
Are you serious?
Are you going to say you don't
believe me?
NO. It's nothing like that.
I just realized that you have a lot
of guts as a reporter.
I'd better go.
I'm sorry that I can't even have dinner
with you.
Me too. It's been ages since we had
dinner together.
Let's try to spend more time together
like today from now on.
Do you happen to know Choi Dongchan?
He's president of New Star Hotel.
Oh that one! I kind of know him
through my supporter's association.
I see
Why?
Nothing.
Mr. Lee.
Yes
Of all the stories that Gangju has done
find any case which I can
use to make trouble with.
I don't understand what you mean.
The reconstruction committee
chairman keeps avoiding us.
Can't you even contact him?
No.
According to other housing union
members, he met J&C's vice president
on several occasions.
This restaurant looks ordinary
but the food is great.
And the atmosphere is good too.
I'm glad you think so.
If the sell orders keep rising and
buy orders keep falling like this,
it'll drop to 15% and hit the minimum.
You see, the rumors were based on some
evidence and won't disappear easily.
Has something happened to you?
Why don't you leave me?
I thought you'd leave.
I'm paid better working with you than
doing nothing else.
I know you don't stay with me because
of money.
Why do you think I would want to leave?
Because I'm scary.
Why should I be scared of a man with
a weak mind?
You're a good man so you won't finish off
this thing.
You'll stop in the middle of it.
I'm sure about that.
You're wrong.
Well, I think I'm right.
The car that I'm driving now has
faulty brakes.
Even though I want to stop the car,
I can't.
If what you want me to do is stop the car,
it's not too late for you to leave me now.
Then I think I should go with you until
the end, because I'm already in your car.
The destination is up to you
because you're holding the wheel now.
Can you put an ad in a newspaper?
What kind of advertisement?
An advertisement looking for someone.
I want to find Min Suyeon.
The official position at Lion Funds
is to share work 50-50
with Resource Development Affairs
in setting up a joint venture.
Assemblyman Lee strongly recommended it,
so we should find favor in it.
I thought this project would help
Resource Development Affairs
to develop alternative energy.
That's why I introduced you to each other.
I know.
But I'm afraid that we'd have to
invest large amounts of money so...
Don't worry about that.
We only have to exchange letters of
intent first, not to give any risk to you
then we can have a real contract
after the official announcement.
In that way my work won't be
at risk, right?
Yes.
When would the official announcement be?
Lion Funds need to talk about land use
tax with North Korea.
So they will have an official press
ccnference after we sort out that issue.
Are you going to see North Korean
authorities in person?
I already have a verbal agreement
with them to meet at Xinjiang
and exchange secret agreements.
I see.
And this is a report by a world famous
research center about the results
of the chemical tests on natural gas
collected in China.
I see.
Until the agreement with North Korean is
completed, I want you to be
extra careful that this issue doesn't
leak anywhere.
You didn't have to say that.
I know that much.
I think you made a mistake.
I'm sorry.
Don't be.
By the way, I think Steven Lee looks
like Assemblyman Lee.
Really?
That's my honor.
I heard about Ganghyeok from Gangju.
It was quite shocking to hear
that the one you loved was Ganghyeok.
I came here to say something.
Listen to what I have to say first.
I know that it's hard for you
whenever you see Shinhyeok.
But Shinhyeok cannot replace
the Ganghyeok you loved before.
He is only Ganghyeok's twin brother.
Jinwu...
Stop looking for Ganghyeok in him.
You'll only find it difficult.
I don't want to see you like this
and won't let you go on.
It's true that I'm confused
whenever I see Shinhyeok.
It's also true that I look
for my loved one in him.
But those are not the reasons
why I can't accept you.
There is no space in my heart
for anyone to fill.
I can wait.
Don't
But I'm so grateful for your feelings.
I'm sorry. I have to go now.
How come you're so stubborn!
And so stupid!
How long are you going to have a man
who can never come back to you?
Let go.
I know that you were with him for 20 years
so it's hard for you to forget him.
But he's gone.
- He's dead.
- Don't say that he's dead.
He's still alive in my heart.
You can't see and touch him.
But it doesn't mean he's gone.
How long will it take your boss
to recover completely?
No one can answer that.
According to his wife, it will take
one or two days.
Really?
But you're so odd.
What?
Do you not like me or something?
Why wouldn't I?
Then why do you always leave me out?
I've never done that to you.
When the boss comes around, there'll be
big progress in Haeun's case.
He knows something, right?
Nothing could be better than that.
Hello, it's me.
So did you tell everything to my mother?
Yes.
Why did you tell her that?
You know she's in shock.
Your mother wanted to know the truth.
And I thought she had to, too.
Still, it was really thoughtless of you
to tell her about my father.
Maybe he's right.
It's scary to know the truth.
That's why he sent the letter
to make me realize that.
What do you mean?
"A butterfly doesn't know how deep
the sea is, so it's not scared of it."
I'm starting to get scared.
Did something happen?
The closer I get to the truth,
the more I get scared.
What will be waiting for me
when I reach the end?
I want to know the truth.
I want to run away from the truth too.
I'm so confused today.
Then run away.
I don't know what you are scared of
but run away from it.
If I run away now, I'll regret it someday.
That I might regret it scares me
more than anything.
Go on in.
Please hug me tight
so that I'll feel a little better.
Why are you so late?
Where is your mother?
Since Gangju left here, she never
came out of her room.
Really?
I'm late because I had to meet someone.
I see.
I heard Gangju came here.
I asked her to come.
I see.
It wasn't an accident.
What do you mean?
Geonha didn't die of an accident.
And Ganghyeok was murdered
while investigating Geonha's case.
Who said that? Gangju told you that?
If that is true, I can't forgive it.
Never.
Honey?
Can you hear me?
Can you recognize me?
Can you see me?
Do you know who I am?
Thank God!
Shall I call the doctor?
Yes.
Honey!
What?
Tell me again.
Where am I?
Really?
The boss has completely come around then?
Not completely but he recognizes people.
I'm so glad to hear that.
That is so great. It really is.
I'll call you later.
What's up mom?
Did you find out who Haeun was going
to meet at the Royal Hotel in Gangreung?
Yes.
Who was it?
It was Shinhyeok.
Shinhyeok was staying in that hotel.
But he said he didn't receive
any phone call from Haeun.
He was on the run so it must have been
hard for him to call Shinhyeok
or he might not have know Shinhyeok's
room number.
But why are you asking me about this
all of a sudden?
Just out of curiosity.
Excuse me.
Hello.
It's Shinhyeok.
Hello, Mr. Yu.
My mother wants to go to your house.
Thanks.
She's outside the building.
She'll be here soon.
I'm so sorry to Eunha's family.
Don't think that way.
They were Ganghyeok's family for 20 years.
That's why I feel so ashamed to them,
as his mother.
I heard that Ganghyeok went to see you
in Gangreung.
I think he did.
Then why didn't he call you there?
He probably had a reason.
Yes, he probably did.
I'll be right back.
It would've been great if he had met you
and he wouldn't have died like that.
Can you recognize me? It's Sucheol.
I'm Dongil! Can you recognize me?
I think he can, right?
I think so.
What did the doctor say?
He was unconscious for a long time
so it will take a while for him
to recover his memory.
Does that mean he'll have amnesia?
No, he won't. He doesn't have
any problem in his brain.
The doctor said he will regain
almost his whole memory within a week.
And his stutter will gradually get better.
That's great.
Congratulations.
Ganghyeok
Ganghyeok
Ganghyeok?
Who's Ganghyeok?
I think he's looking for Haeun.
Where's Ganghyeok?
Nice to meet you. I'm Seo Jeesu.
I'm sorry.
What do you mean?
I'm so sorry and I'm so grateful.
Don't say that.
I'm a lot more sorry and grateful
than you are.
Don't be.
I heard you raised and loved Ganghyeok
just like your own son.
I don't deserve to be called his mother.
Don't say that.
I'm the one who's ashamed.
I can see that Ganghyeok lived with
wonderful people.
Thank you very much for saying that.
Please have a seat first.
Thanks.
What are you thinking about?
You haven't said anything for a long time.
I was thinking about why Haeun
didn't call you.
I know him well.
He would have called you once
he went to Royal Hotel.
But I don't understand why he couldn't.
I don't know.
It's Shinhyeok.
It's me.
Hi.
Okay, see you there.
He will almost regain his whole memory
within a week.
He still stutters but that
will get better too.
Can he move?
It will take about 2 weeks for him
to get better in his movements.
But he will have some problem breathing
because he hurt his lungs.
Haeun.
He's looking for you,
calling you Ganghyeok.
Let's go.
Haeun.
Don't you have to tell the truth at least
to Eunha that you're Haeun?
She will understand you.
It will be even more painful for her
to see me as I am now.
- But
- I
don't want to show her me as I am now.
I will go back
to who I used to be when I was Haeun.
That hope keeps me alive.
Missing person Min Suyeon.
Female, 48, worked at Ministry
of Construction 20 years ago.
Did you call me, Mr. Assemblyman?
Yes.
Find out who placed this advertisement
quietly.
Okay.
Did you see the advertisement?
Yes.
Who do you think put it in?
I'll find out.
What do you mean?
Beside the pipeline work,
I want to use our shares
to participate in a joint venture
with Lion Funds.
I'm afraid that'll be difficult.
Lion Funds already have an agreement
with Resource Development Affairs
to set up a 50-50
joint venture company.
As far as I know you haven't signed
the contract yet.
But we'll exchange letters of intent
within this week.
That's not a problem.
You can always change it.
We're not going to invest 50%.
We're thinking of just 20%
and we'll do the pipeline work too.
Aren't they advantageous terms
for Lion Funds?
I don't know.
This is totally unexpected.
I know it's hard for you to give me
a final answer right now.
Then I'll talk to headquarters first.
I'm looking forward to hearing
a positive answer.
Okay.
I want you to be very careful
with the whole joint venture thing.
Assemblyman Lee is helping them and
the Resource Development Affairs is
going to have a partnership with them.
That guarantees how safe this is.
But...
Leave everything to me.
So have the rumors about Star Hotel
quieted down a bit?
It has spread too fast to counter it.
Sell orders are rising dramatically
at the moment.
I'm worried that if the buy orders keep
falling, they might drop to the minimum.
Is there any possibility that somebody
is deliberately manipulating it?
You can't completely rule out
that possibility.
When it drops to the minimum, buy shares
through a false name bank account.
I already thought of that.
When we receive Sangguk's money,
start buying the shares in earnest.
Good afternoon.
I came back after completing
the mission successfully.
Good job.
It was so easy though.
I need some money.
Okay.
You're cool! But don't you ask me
how much I need first?
What are you going to do with the money?
I want to visit my grandmother.
I haven't seen her for 10 years.
Have you ever met her before then?
Weren't you living in the orphanage?
I met her 10 years ago but she completely
denied knowing me.
She kept saying she didn't know me.
Then why do you want to see her again?
I'm just bored, that's why.
So when are you going to give me
the money.
What the...
I should consider the samples for
the doors.
The pattern on the door doesn't
appeal much, does it?
You're right. We'd better change
the color of the wallpaper too.
Hey Haegyeong!
When did you come back to Korea?
Recently.
Then what are you doing here?
I dropped in to see Shinhyeok,
but he's away.
How do you know the vice president?
Don't you know?
He and I went to the same university.
I see. Nice to meet you anyway.
Call me. I want to buy you a drink.
Okay. See you next time.
That's how he knows the vice president.
How do you know him?
He and I went to the same middle school.
He's a director of KG now.
Then you must have gone to the same
middle school as the vice president.
With him? No way.
If so, I wouldn't have left him alone.
What's wrong?
Nothing.
Yes. This is my friend.
When was the last time we saw each other?
Where did you meet him?
At middle school.
You must've been embarrassed.
I'm home.
You're late.
Yes. Is mom sleeping?
Yes. She couldn't sleep for
several nights, so it's good.
I see.
If you're free, would you like
to have a drink with me?
It's been a long time
since I had a drink with you.
You're right.
I know you're having a hard time
because of Ganghyeok.
But I'm so proud of you and grateful
that you're coming through it all.
With everything happening these days
I think of Geonha often.
When I met him for the first time at
the high school entrance ceremony...
What can I say? He was kind of shining...
He had luster.
I was too introspective and
full of conceit to make friends
while Geonha was always surrounded
by a lot of friends.
He had something that I didn't have,
like he was humble and had grit
and determination. That's why.
He always listened to others quietly
and if he thought it was right
to do something, he didn't hesitate
to do it.
I really wanted to be like Geonha.
I admired and nursed jealousy against him
at the same time, then we became friends.
I believe you and my father
must've gotten along so well.
In every relationship you have
a kind of jealousy
against the person who's dominating you.
Jealousy?
Goenha didn't intend to dominate me
but I let myself feel dominated.
So that jealousy against him bothered me
sometimes.
He probably had jealousy against you.
Everyone longs for something that
they don't have.
I think I'm drunk. I've talked too much.
Please go to bed. You must be tired.
Good night.
Thanks
You too.
I see.
I'll be there right now.
Hello.
