Did Lee Taejun and Jeong Sangguk
put you up to do that?
It's right that they ordered me
to kill Detective Yu Geonha,
but someone else ordered me
to lure him to Gangreung.
Who was that?
Your stepfather.
Chairman Kang Incheol.
What are you talking about?
Daeshik came to see me several
days before he was murdered.
He suddenly talked about
the thing 20 years ago and
was so distressed and full of regret.
He said something weird then.
He said that neither Jeong Sangguk
nor Lee Taejun ordered him
to lure Yu Geonha to Gangreung.
Then did he say Kang Incheol did it?
He didn't tell me who it was.
Then he was murdered, so I've
tailed Dongchan since then.
I already knew that Daeshik was
working for Lee Taejun and Jeong Sangguk,
and I guessed that those two had
ordered Dongchan to kill him.
But I was wondering who was really behind it.
So?
I found out Dongchan's half brother
is Kang Incheol's secretary.
And he, Yu Geonha, Lee Taejun and
Jeong Sangguk were all friends too.
But that's not enough to be sure
that Incheol lured my dad to his death.
You're right.
So I threw some bait to Kang Incheol.
I lied and told him that I have some
evidence which Daeshik left behind
and which could prove that Incheol
was behind Dongchan.
Then Incheol wanted to deal.
It's not wise to move a queen
from the beginning.
Oh, right.
You have to think carefully because once
you touch a piece you have to move it.
I have no choice but the queen.
Look carefully. There's a strong piece
that will save you from a crisis.
The evidence that you mentioned,
is it real?
No.
But I'm sure Daeshik left something somewhere.
As soon as Daeshik got killed, Dongchan
looked in every corner for something
- in Daeshik's house, office, safe deposit
box and even a locker at his gym.
That means Daeshik left something
that people mustn't know about.
I think he killed Seo Haeun because of that too.
He was afraid that Seo Haeun
might find it before him.
Why are you telling me all this?
I told you that we share the same enemy.
And I want to pay off my debts to your family.
Do you think you can pay it back this way?
No, I don't.
But Daeshik wanted to ask
your family for forgiveness.
I just want to pass his wish onto you.
So what are you going to do?
I have something to ask you.
You shouldn't kill Dongchan.
If he dies, all the truth will be
buried with him too.
I think that's too big a favor.
It's much easier than killing someone.
I really wanted to be like Geonha.
I admired him but got jealous
of him at the same time.
Then he and I became best friends.
It was 2 years ago that you and I went to
Layong Industrial Complex together, right?
You ran here?
Yes. I wanted to see you as soon as possible.
Did something happen to you?
You look troubled.
No, nothing happened.
I think I worked too hard. I'm just tired.
I thought I would feel better if I saw you.
That's why I came here to see you for a minute.
You look thinner than before.
Have you eaten dinner?
I'll feel better if I keep hugging
you like this, just for a minute.
He's my ex-sister-in-law's son.
Sorry I'm late.
It's okay. Have a seat.
Yes.
I'm sorry that I called you out of the blue.
It's an honor
Can I ask you why you called me here?
Nothing special. I just wanted to drink with you.
I'm ashamed saying this
but I haven't any friends that I
can have a heart to heart talk with.
You're in public office, that's why.
It's good because I was going to see
you before going to China anyway.
When are you going to China?
I'm flying on the weekend.
Good.
I'm sure it'll go well for you over there too.
Besides, you have a lot of drive
so you'll do a great job.
This is all thanks to you.
I'll be eternally grateful to you.
Don't mention it. Just be my
drinking buddy sometimes.
Of course.
When I see you, I feel comfortable.
Thank you.
If I could go back to your age,
I wonder how I would have lived.
Would I turn out like I am now?
I often think about whether I would choose
the same thing if I went back to the past.
I know it's an idle thought.
You look really tired today.
Live without regrets.
If you think it's not the way to go,
you should always change paths.
If you go too far, you can't come
back even though you want to.
If I live just like you, I'll be fine.

Good job.
Hi.
Hello.
Have you had dinner?
Yes.
How about you?
Sure.
I'll go upstairs.
Go ahead.
You're late.
I had an appointment that's why.
It's good to have as many appointment
as possible at your age.
I think so too.
When I meet a lot of people, I never
know what I might find out.
You're right.
That's why you have to go to some
meetings you'd rather not go to.
Today was like that.
Really?
Yes. Good night.
Good night to you too.
Thanks.
Have a good night, mom.
Honey, shall we go for a walk?
This late?
You hardly sleep at all these days.
If you walk a little bit, it'll help you sleep.
Then I'll go.
It would be better not to tell
Dongchan about Ganghyeok.
What does that mean?
Dongchan is too rash.
That's why he made many mistakes.
Anyway, Ganghyeok won't reveal
himself too easily.
But if Dongchan does something silly,
it will make the situation worse.
Just like with Park Sangcheol.
I'm sorry.
I'm not blaming you.
I'm just telling you to be careful.
Not only Ganghyeok but other
people are also involved,
and I don't know who and
how much they know about this.
But my biggest concern is Park Sangcheol.
Seeing as we've never heard from him since,
he must have lied when he said
that he has some evidence.
That's not what's important.
He knows something others don't know
which is my involvement.
Is there another way to find Park Heesu?
He is not living in the address he's registered at.
His cell phone has been cancelled.
It won't be easy but I'll try.
Thank you.
Is there anyway that I can see
a recent photo of his?
If he has a driver license, his photo will be
in the police computer network.
Then can you find it for me now?
That's a bit difficult.
It might violate privacy regulations.
It's important. I'm begging you.
Stop drinking otherwise it will lower
the effect of the wild ginseng.
Are you worried about something?
If you keep drinking like that
you'll get a stomachache.
I'll bring some food.
Did you keep this newspaper too?
Why did you waste your money on this?
Why are you looking for someone
who abandoned you and me, stupid?
Grandma?
No one knows whether she's even alive or not.
But you still think she's your mother
and put this stupid notice?
Is Min Suyeon my mother?
Didn't you say Min Suhee is my mother
and died just after I was born?
Tell me! Grandma, is Min Suyeon my mother?
Is she still alive then?
It's true, isn't it? So maybe she's still alive.
That's right, isn't it?
Then what about my father?
Where is he?
Come on grandma, out with it!
Which country do you want to go to?
I'll send you there.
When do I have to leave?
As soon as I buy a ticket.
No, that's no good.
Why not?
I'll leave after I find my mother.
What are you talking about?
My mother is Min Suyeon.
She's been missing for a long time
but she might still be alive.
And I'm sure that my father put that notice.
He probably did it in secret because
he has a wife and children now.
That's why they wouldn't tell me
who placed the advertisement.
Yes! That's it!
You have to leave.
I said I'll go after I find my mother.
No, you can't.
Don't I still have some time?
If you don't leave before it all
hits the fan, you'll be in danger.
Don't worry. No one has smelled a rat.
But you disappoint me.
You try to stop me rather
than help me find my parents.
Don't you think you're being too hard?
He doesn't want to leave
until he finds Min Suyeon.
That's not good.
We have to make him leave whatever it takes.
He doesn't listen.
He's over the moon that he might
actually find his parents.
I kind of expected this would happen
but not this early.
Persuade him again. He must leave Korea.
Don't you have something up your
sleeve that will keep him safe?
I'm not talking about that.
While Heesu looks for Min Suyeon,
he may find out Taejun is his father.
Or Taejun might find that out first.
But Heesu shouldn't find out
that Taejun is his father.
Why not?
If he does, the revenge will be
all the more cruel, won't it?
If I'm wrong, you should go and
talk to Heesu.
About what?
About yourself.
Tell him why you had to do this.
Then he will understand you a little more.
Then he'll find out that Taejun is his father..
He will one day anyway.
No, I can't let that happen.
He might find out one day
but it shouldn't be now.
I'll go and persuade him.
Hello.
I have a room booked.
I'd like to check in.
May I ask your name?
I'm Steven Lee.
I don't think you could say
the same thing if you know the truth.
As soon as I expose the truth,
your dad is finished.
Oh dear.
You're trying to open Pandora's box.
You shouldn't do this.
The rest of the money has just
been sent to Hong Kong.
I see.
Just after you met Yang Mancheol
you got stabbed.
Someone tried to silence you.
That means you heard something
from Yang Mancheol.
I want to know what you heard from
Yang Mancheol about the case 20 years ago.
Gangju is the daughter of
Assemblyman Lee Taejun.
Please tell me.
The testimony of a dead person
is null and void.
Just tell me what you know.
I don't have any solid evidence so
it's too early to tell you that.
Did Lim Daeshik and Yang Mancheol
kill detective Yu Geonha?
Did Yang Mancheol tell you
who ordered them to do that?
I have nothing to say except that
it's too early to tell you anything.
From the same hometown?
Yes.
I haven't got much about the link
between Incheol, Jongin and Dongchan.
But Incheol's father and Jongin's mother
came from the same hometown.
Is Jongin's mother still alive?
No.
I think we'd better go to their
hometown and snoop around.
I'll go.
Really? Then do a good job.
Okay.
Hello.
Thank you for coming.
See this...
When I collected Mancheol's belongings
this was hidden under the inner sole
of his shoe.
You came this far so you must've
brought some good news for me.
I've been working hard but it will be
difficult for you to become a candidate
for provincial assemblyman.
Then I have no choice but
to expose what I know.
We've been played into someone's hands.
What are you trying to say?
Someone sent a letter about your past
to the provincial party president.
Whether you believe me or not, the Star
Hotel thing wasn't Sangguk's intention.
It's not a good idea for you to lie to me.
Someone sent these photos to me.
Whoever it is must know a lot about us.
Let me tell you the truth.
I thought you sent the threatening
letters to me and Sangguk.
But I've since realized it wasn't you.
The person who did it wants us to
fight each other until we're all dead.
And you were caught in his plot.
Who would that be?
I have no idea.
Do you have anyone in mind?
I think it might be the person
who attacked you the other day.
You have someone in mind now, right?
No.
If you're hiding something,
please tell me the truth.
Then we can take the right steps.
I ordered Dongchan to follow him.
But it's difficult to prove his crime
with this letter.
It's not a hand written letter
so Dongchan has plausible deniability.
We need additional evidence.
I'll testify.
I'll testify about everything that
happened between me and Dongchan.
If Dongchan denies it, that's it.
I have an audiotape where I taped
his voice when I was beaten up.
Then you'll have to leave the police
force and you'll get punished too.
I'm ready for that.
I understand what you're thinking.
But you'll only prove his
assault and battery by doing that.
We need to prove that he committed
murder and who's behind him too.
Detective Kim Sucheol speaking.
Detective Seo Haeun?
He's not here at the moment.
Who's calling?
Which church?
Why is Skull so late?
I lost contact with him.
Since when?
Since he called saying he'd been
threatened by Sangcheol.
What is this jerk plotting?
He wouldn't betray you.
But he did Sangcheol!
Find him right now!
Okay
Shinhyeok hasn't showed up at all lately.
Why are you waiting for him?
I'm just curious because he used
to come to see us often.
Seo Eunha speaking.
You know, don't you?
You know that Shinhyeok is actually
Ganghyeok.
You probably realized when you saw
Ganghyeok's bracelet that time
when Shinyeong wore it.
Yes
I found out recently.
I can't be just happy that
Ganghyeok's still alive.
I can't because of Shinhyeok.
I'm so sad when I think of Ganghyeok's pain
but I couldn't even say anything
nice to comfort him.
To Shinhyeok and Ganghyeok,
I'm really sorry.
Don't be. It's not your fault.
All I can do is to trust Ganghyeok and wait.
I don't know what he's trying to do but I will.
Still I can't stop worrying.
I'm afraid to say this, but be with him
and encourage him, please.
You're the person he needs the most right now.
This is the letter that Edmund sent me.
Edmund?
It's Lim Daeshik's baptismal name.
I see.
Someone probably collected
the letter while I was absent.
But I found it yesterday while
cleaning my desk.
Thank you for bringing it to us.
I realized the date on the postmark
was the same as when he died.
I thought it could mean something.
That's why I called the detective
who came to see me before.
I see.
"Judah's sin is carved with an iron tool.
It is written with a sharp stone.
It is written on the horns that stick out
from the corners of their altars.
Even their children offer sacrifices
to other gods on those altars.
They worship strange gods beside
the green trees and on the high hills.
They use the poles that were made
to worship the goddess Asherah.
Through your own fault I'll give away
your wealth and all your treasure as
plunder to your enemy." (Jeremiah 17)
Aren't these just Bible verses?
Well, they look like they mean something.
But what would they mean?
I have no idea. They're just Bible verses to me.
Maybe it's giving a hint about some evidence.
Evidence?
It's possible that Lim Daeshik left
some evidence before he died.
That's why Choi Dongchan looked
for it all over the place.
Where did you hear that?
From Park Sangcheol.
Did you meet Park Sangcheol?
Yes
That was a risky thing to do.
He's a criminal on the run.
What do you think you can do with him?
It was Park Sangcheol who lured
my dad to Gangreung.
What?
Incheol ordered Lim Daeshik to do it and
he asked Park Sangcheol to call my dad.
Are you saying that Incheol
is involved in all this?
Is that what Park Sangcheol told you?
Yes
You shouldn't believe all of what he said to you.
Incheol already knows that I'm Haeun.
But he's keeping quiet about it which
means what Park Sangcheol said is true.
And Choi Dongchan is tailing me around now.
It's probably on Incheol's orders.
It's quite likely that it was
Lee Taejun and Jeong Sangguk.
Incheol virtually sat and watched them doing it.
But he's complicit.
Whether he had dad killed or led him
to his death the result was the same.
Geonha's case is already past
the statute of limitations.
Even if he really made a fake witness and
used it to entice Geonha, we can't punish him
because it was Lee Taejun and Jeong Sangguk
who gave the order to kill Lim Daeshik.
That might be wrong.
What do you mean?
That could also be a trick of Incheol.
And it's also possible that he gave
the order to kill Shinhyeok.
But he had no reason to do that.
He must've been afraid the fact
he trapped dad would be revealed.
But I still don't understand why
he had to do that to my dad.
So what are you going to do now?
Incheol is your mother's husband
and your sister's father.
So do you want me to forgive him?
No, I don't mean that.
I want you to come back to Detective
Seo Haeun and investigate this case.
And when you find the truth,
I hope you bring the culprits to justice.
As you said, dad's case is already
past the statute of limitations.
And I know I can't bring Incheol to justice either.
But what I can't stand the most is that he's
my mother's husband and my sister's father.
The happiest moment for me is
when I drink tea with you alone.
Sometimes I can't believe it.
What?
That I'm actually living with you like this.
And sometimes I worry you may leave me.
Why do you think that?
You know what?
I fell in love with you before Geonha did.
And I've been the same from that
moment until now.
I know.
Delivery.
Eunha?
Surprise! I made your favorite
kimbap and dumplings.
You haven't had these for a long time.
Let's go and see our lighthouses.
I want to see how they are. Let's go.
Sure.
Then let's go now. If we drive all night,
we'll get there at dawn.
We can see the sunrise.
It's okay to skip work for once.
No, we can just live in Gangreung.
Let's all live with dad. Just like before.
Eunha...
Do you think we can rent the same
house where we used to live?
Should I go and convince
the old landlord to rent it to us?
I think we could even buy it with
the bond I've got on the place I'm in now.
I can get a job and dad can open
a shop there.
And you...
So our deal finishes with this.
That's right.
There's a lot of interesting stuff there.
Do you really think so?
It's all about your husband bribing politicians
and getting favors from them for J&C.
That's what I'm saying.
If this is revealed to the public,
it will rock the nation.
Then you won't be safe either.
So I want to ask you a favor.
No matter what you use this for,
my name must stay a complete secret.
Of course I believe that you'll ensure that.
You can stop worrying.
Is this really Park Heesu?
Yes.
Is Park Heesu Min Suhee's son?
According to the orphanage director,
it's true.
Do you want me to find out
some more on that?
No. That's okay.
Forget about it and just leave.
I said I won't go anywhere until
I find my mother.
Don't be stubborn and listen to me.
Who's being stubborn now?
What if they learn who you really are?
They haven't got a clue yet.
Please look at it from my perspective.
You find out your mother who
you thought dead might be alive.
Would you just leave the country
without looking for her?
You wouldn't, would you?
You should go. I'll look for her instead.
Trust me. If she's still alive,
I promise you I'll find her.
Give me just a week.
If I can't find her within a week
I'll leave then.
You can give me a week, can't you?
Come on!
Then promise me that you'll definitely
leave here in a week.
Okay.
Then you should also keep the promise
that you'll find her after I leave.
I will.
Then find my father too while
you're looking for my mother.
I'm sure that my father put out
that missing person's notice.
But they don't want to tell me who did it.
Can you find out who it is?
You must have that much influence.
Answer me!
I'm just assuming you agree to
that promise too.
Don't think that you can keep lying to me.
What are you talking about?
I know you sent Mr. Lee to the saloon bar
owner to get me off Ganghyeok's story.
How deep were you involved?
I thought I explained it all last time.
I know that wasn't all.
Ganghyeok and Detective Yu Geonha's deaths
were they done by Choi Dongchan on
yours and Sangguk's orders?
Why can't you answer me?
How many times should I tell you
to make you believe me?
Then you'll be okay if I keep covering the
story and find out the murderer, won't you?
If that's what you want, go ahead.
You saw this notice, didn't you?
What's the reason you've been
meeting with Min Suyeon's son?
What are you talking about?
Was Park Heesu born to you and Min Suyeon?
What on earth are you talking about?
That Park Heesu is Min Suyeon's love child.
You've been meeting him so you must know that.
I've met Park Heesu?
Dad, you can stop lying.
I know that the man I ran into here
the other day is Park Heesu.
The man you ran into...
Are you talking about Steven Lee?
Steven Lee?
You must've been mistaken.
His name is Steven Lee.
I don't know what you're talking about
but I'm sure he's Park Heesu.
When I went to see Min Suyeon's mother,
I saw him there too.
And I confirmed it with his photo.
He's your son, right?
Answer me.
It's true, isn't it?
If you have nothing else to say,
please leave here.
Dad.
Later... Let's talk later.
Mr. Lee from Resource Development
Affairs is on the phone.
Tell him to call me later.
He sounds very urgent.
Okay.
Lee Taejun speaking.
What the devil is going on?
What are you talking about?
A man named Steven Lee from
Lion Funds just came,
but he's not the one you introduced
to me before.
You came.
Let me introduce you to a special guest
from Hong Kong.
I'm Steven Lee from Lion Funds.
I'm Yu Shinhyeok.
He came to talk about the gas pipeline work.
I see.
Okay.
I'll do that right now.
The real Steven Lee came to Korea.
When?
It's just a week.
I'll protect you for a week but
you have to leave after that.
Okay.
Hwang Jongin's mother got remarried to
Kang Incheol's family butler,
then she gave birth to Choi Dongchan.
Butler?
Yes. Hwang Jongin and Choi Dongchan
grew up in Kang Incheol's house.
Kang Incheol's family moved to
Seoul for his father's business.
Then Hwang Jongin's family also
followed them to Seoul a year later.
Choi Dongchan and Hwang Jongin
are half brothers but they have
a strong fraternal bond.
And Kang Incheol's father supported
Hwang Jongin to go to college.
What about Choi Dongchan?
According to one of his relatives, he left
home when he was in middle school.
Since then, he's heard nothing from
Choi Dongchan.
Oh and I found out something for Gangju.
Choi Dongchan and Park Sangcheol were once
booked on a charge of assault and battery.
And?
Choi Dongchan alone was released
without charge.
Do you think Kang Incheol helped him out?
I think so.
But if it was Lim Daeshik, he would've got
both of them out.
Boss!
Skull just called.
Who's that?
He's a drug pusher in Sangcheol's
gang. What did he say?
He just said Park Sangcheol
didn't kill Detective Seo Haeun.
And?
And then he hung up.
Why did he call out of the blue?
That's what I'm saying.
Maybe he was threatened by Park Sangcheol.
His younger sister was Park Sangcheol's
girlfriend but he worked for Choi Dongchan.
That means he betrayed Park Sangcheol.
Breaking faith means death in the gang world.
You know where his younger sister is, right?
Yes
Go and see her.
If people know we've been swindled,
we'll be in big trouble.
How many knows about this?
We've just made a natural gas project team.
Get them to keep their lips sealed.
We have to cover this up whatever it takes.
Sure.
But I want to find out who the swindler is.
No, you shouldn't.
Why not?
I'll find out about that.
You just worry about your staff.
You are as old as my father,
I want you to feel comfortable with me.
You have similar taste as me.
I heard you grew up in the States
but your Korean is so fluent.
My parents wanted me to be perfect
in Korean so I had a Korean tutor.
What great parents.
I think so too.
The more I see him, the more Steven
looks like you, Mr. Lee.
Really?
An honor indeed.
The car is ready.
What would you do...
if someone who killed your father and
younger brother is right in front of you?
But if you don't forgive him your mother
and younger sister will be hurt terribly.
What would you do?
Do you think you could forgive him?
No, I wouldn't.
But if my mother and younger sister
would get hurt by me not forgiving him,
I think I'd have to forgive him
even though it's difficult.
What do you mean?
The dead are important but the living
are even more important.
Do you think it's fair for the living to live a lie
without knowing the truth?
I'm going to France.
To France?
Dad said he would send me there to study.
I told him once that I wanted to go
to an architecture school in Lyon.
He was so opposed to me and then
today he said it's okay.
Really?
I'm going to become an architecture
and work for dad's company.
It will be great. You, dad and
me working together, right?
Yes.
What? Is that all I get from you?
It would be better if I didn't know.
What are you talking about?
Did you call me?
Yes.
I heard that you went to see Dongchan.
You must wonder why he controls
my life like he does.
You don't have to explain that.
I've been preparing the deposit notes
that Dongchan asked you for.
But it'll be difficult to prepare them
all at once.
Jinwu.
Yes.
Don't live like me.
I lived wrong.
I have nothing to give you.
Why are you talking like that?
Some people from Lion Funds are here.
I see. Let him come in.
Yes, sir.
They must be from the head office.
Yes.
Hello.
I've been waiting for you.
Nice to meet you. I'm Steven Lee.
I found it out just late yesterday.
Then the Steven Lee we met was fake?
Yes.
Dad.
We have to cover this up.
If this gets out, it will all hit the fan.
That's impossible!
What do you mean?
I sent a lot of money to Hong Kong.
I have to get it back!
You sent money to Hong Kong?
What are you talking about?
You were only supposed to do
the gas pipeline work.
It's not like that! I can't just cover it up!
I can't...
Dad!
Dad!
Dad!
Call the ambulance!
Is he okay?
According to the electrocardiograph,
he's lucky to be alive.
But he must have absolute bed rest.
I see.
After he goes home, drinking and smoking
must be banned.
Stress is the worst thing for him now.
I see.
- Thank you very much.
- You're welcome.
"They worship strange gods beside
the green trees and on the high hills.
They use the poles that were made
to worship the goddess Asherah."
I'm Park Sangcheol.
I'll go home by myself.
I'll take you home.
It's okay.
I have a lot to think about so I want
to be alone.
- I see. Take care.
- Thanks.
The altar is sacred so you can't
just walk around it.
I know.
But I think Lim Daeshik meant this altar
in his letter so I want to have a look.
Go ahead.
But as you see, it's not a good place
to hide any evidence.
Can you tell me what those represent?
The Alpha and Omega represent Jesus.
I see.
Thank you.
What are they?
They are the 14 stations of the cross
which represent Christ's crucifixion.
Alpha...the beginning...
I know you don't have the evidence
that you told me you had.
Then why did you still want to meet me?
I like you so I want to make
a deal with you.
What kind of deal do you want?
Stagnant water goes bad.
If you don't change the water,
the fish in the fishbowl will die.
Don't give me parables.
Get to the point.
Dongchan is too hasty so he makes
a lot of mistakes.
So is Dongchan bad water?
So do you want me to change
the water in the fishbowl?
Isn't that what you want too?
You must be worried that he knows
too much about you.
So what do I get?
It's me.
Oh hi.
You came.
What is it?
Why did you want to see me here,
and at this time?
Let me introduce myself properly, Mr. Kang.
I'm your best friend, Yu Geonha's son,
Yu Ganghyeok.

Did Lee Taejun and Jeong Sangguk
put you up to do that?
It's right that they ordered me
to kill Detective Yu Geonha,
but someone else ordered me
to lure him to Gangreung.
Who was that?
Your stepfather.
Chairman Kang Incheol.
What are you talking about?
Daeshik came to see me several
days before he was murdered.
He suddenly talked about
the thing 20 years ago and
was so distressed and full of regret.
He said something weird then.
He said that neither Jeong Sangguk
nor Lee Taejun ordered him
to lure Yu Geonha to Gangreung.
Then did he say Kang Incheol did it?
He didn't tell me who it was.
Then he was murdered, so I've
tailed Dongchan since then.
I already knew that Daeshik was
working for Lee Taejun and Jeong Sangguk,
and I guessed that those two had
ordered Dongchan to kill him.
But I was wondering who was really behind it.
So?
I found out Dongchan's half brother
is Kang Incheol's secretary.
And he, Yu Geonha, Lee Taejun and
Jeong Sangguk were all friends too.
But that's not enough to be sure
that Incheol lured my dad to his death.
You're right.
So I threw some bait to Kang Incheol.
I lied and told him that I have some
evidence which Daeshik left behind
and which could prove that Incheol
was behind Dongchan.
Then Incheol wanted to deal.
It's not wise to move a queen
from the beginning.
Oh, right.
You have to think carefully because once
you touch a piece you have to move it.
I have no choice but the queen.
Look carefully. There's a strong piece
that will save you from a crisis.
The evidence that you mentioned,
is it real?
No.
But I'm sure Daeshik left something somewhere.
As soon as Daeshik got killed, Dongchan
looked in every corner for something
- in Daeshik's house, office, safe deposit
box and even a locker at his gym.
That means Daeshik left something
that people mustn't know about.
I think he killed Seo Haeun because of that too.
He was afraid that Seo Haeun
might find it before him.
Why are you telling me all this?
I told you that we share the same enemy.
And I want to pay off my debts to your family.
Do you think you can pay it back this way?
No, I don't.
But Daeshik wanted to ask
your family for forgiveness.
I just want to pass his wish onto you.
So what are you going to do?
I have something to ask you.
You shouldn't kill Dongchan.
If he dies, all the truth will be
buried with him too.
I think that's too big a favor.
It's much easier than killing someone.
I really wanted to be like Geonha.
I admired him but got jealous
of him at the same time.
Then he and I became best friends.
It was 2 years ago that you and I went to
Layong Industrial Complex together, right?
You ran here?
Yes. I wanted to see you as soon as possible.
Did something happen to you?
You look troubled.
No, nothing happened.
I think I worked too hard. I'm just tired.
I thought I would feel better if I saw you.
That's why I came here to see you for a minute.
You look thinner than before.
Have you eaten dinner?
I'll feel better if I keep hugging
you like this, just for a minute.
He's my ex-sister-in-law's son.
Sorry I'm late.
It's okay. Have a seat.
Yes.
I'm sorry that I called you out of the blue.
It's an honor
Can I ask you why you called me here?
Nothing special. I just wanted to drink with you.
I'm ashamed saying this
but I haven't any friends that I
can have a heart to heart talk with.
You're in public office, that's why.
It's good because I was going to see
you before going to China anyway.
When are you going to China?
I'm flying on the weekend.
Good.
I'm sure it'll go well for you over there too.
Besides, you have a lot of drive
so you'll do a great job.
This is all thanks to you.
I'll be eternally grateful to you.
Don't mention it. Just be my
drinking buddy sometimes.
Of course.
When I see you, I feel comfortable.
Thank you.
If I could go back to your age,
I wonder how I would have lived.
Would I turn out like I am now?
I often think about whether I would choose
the same thing if I went back to the past.
I know it's an idle thought.
You look really tired today.
Live without regrets.
If you think it's not the way to go,
you should always change paths.
If you go too far, you can't come
back even though you want to.
If I live just like you, I'll be fine.

Good job.
Hi.
Hello.
Have you had dinner?
Yes.
How about you?
Sure.
I'll go upstairs.
Go ahead.
You're late.
I had an appointment that's why.
It's good to have as many appointment
as possible at your age.
I think so too.
When I meet a lot of people, I never
know what I might find out.
You're right.
That's why you have to go to some
meetings you'd rather not go to.
Today was like that.
Really?
Yes. Good night.
Good night to you too.
Thanks.
Have a good night, mom.
Honey, shall we go for a walk?
This late?
You hardly sleep at all these days.
If you walk a little bit, it'll help you sleep.
Then I'll go.
It would be better not to tell
Dongchan about Ganghyeok.
What does that mean?
Dongchan is too rash.
That's why he made many mistakes.
Anyway, Ganghyeok won't reveal
himself too easily.
But if Dongchan does something silly,
it will make the situation worse.
Just like with Park Sangcheol.
I'm sorry.
I'm not blaming you.
I'm just telling you to be careful.
Not only Ganghyeok but other
people are also involved,
and I don't know who and
how much they know about this.
But my biggest concern is Park Sangcheol.
Seeing as we've never heard from him since,
he must have lied when he said
that he has some evidence.
That's not what's important.
He knows something others don't know
which is my involvement.
Is there another way to find Park Heesu?
He is not living in the address he's registered at.
His cell phone has been cancelled.
It won't be easy but I'll try.
Thank you.
Is there anyway that I can see
a recent photo of his?
If he has a driver license, his photo will be
in the police computer network.
Then can you find it for me now?
That's a bit difficult.
It might violate privacy regulations.
It's important. I'm begging you.
Stop drinking otherwise it will lower
the effect of the wild ginseng.
Are you worried about something?
If you keep drinking like that
you'll get a stomachache.
I'll bring some food.
Did you keep this newspaper too?
Why did you waste your money on this?
Why are you looking for someone
who abandoned you and me, stupid?
Grandma?
No one knows whether she's even alive or not.
But you still think she's your mother
and put this stupid notice?
Is Min Suyeon my mother?
Didn't you say Min Suhee is my mother
and died just after I was born?
Tell me! Grandma, is Min Suyeon my mother?
Is she still alive then?
It's true, isn't it? So maybe she's still alive.
That's right, isn't it?
Then what about my father?
Where is he?
Come on grandma, out with it!
Which country do you want to go to?
I'll send you there.
When do I have to leave?
As soon as I buy a ticket.
No, that's no good.
Why not?
I'll leave after I find my mother.
What are you talking about?
My mother is Min Suyeon.
She's been missing for a long time
but she might still be alive.
And I'm sure that my father put that notice.
He probably did it in secret because
he has a wife and children now.
That's why they wouldn't tell me
who placed the advertisement.
Yes! That's it!
You have to leave.
I said I'll go after I find my mother.
No, you can't.
Don't I still have some time?
If you don't leave before it all
hits the fan, you'll be in danger.
Don't worry. No one has smelled a rat.
But you disappoint me.
You try to stop me rather
than help me find my parents.
Don't you think you're being too hard?
He doesn't want to leave
until he finds Min Suyeon.
That's not good.
We have to make him leave whatever it takes.
He doesn't listen.
He's over the moon that he might
actually find his parents.
I kind of expected this would happen
but not this early.
Persuade him again. He must leave Korea.
Don't you have something up your
sleeve that will keep him safe?
I'm not talking about that.
While Heesu looks for Min Suyeon,
he may find out Taejun is his father.
Or Taejun might find that out first.
But Heesu shouldn't find out
that Taejun is his father.
Why not?
If he does, the revenge will be
all the more cruel, won't it?
If I'm wrong, you should go and
talk to Heesu.
About what?
About yourself.
Tell him why you had to do this.
Then he will understand you a little more.
Then he'll find out that Taejun is his father..
He will one day anyway.
No, I can't let that happen.
He might find out one day
but it shouldn't be now.
I'll go and persuade him.
Hello.
I have a room booked.
I'd like to check in.
May I ask your name?
I'm Steven Lee.
I don't think you could say
the same thing if you know the truth.
As soon as I expose the truth,
your dad is finished.
Oh dear.
You're trying to open Pandora's box.
You shouldn't do this.
The rest of the money has just
been sent to Hong Kong.
I see.
Just after you met Yang Mancheol
you got stabbed.
Someone tried to silence you.
That means you heard something
from Yang Mancheol.
I want to know what you heard from
Yang Mancheol about the case 20 years ago.
Gangju is the daughter of
Assemblyman Lee Taejun.
Please tell me.
The testimony of a dead person
is null and void.
Just tell me what you know.
I don't have any solid evidence so
it's too early to tell you that.
Did Lim Daeshik and Yang Mancheol
kill detective Yu Geonha?
Did Yang Mancheol tell you
who ordered them to do that?
I have nothing to say except that
it's too early to tell you anything.
From the same hometown?
Yes.
I haven't got much about the link
between Incheol, Jongin and Dongchan.
But Incheol's father and Jongin's mother
came from the same hometown.
Is Jongin's mother still alive?
No.
I think we'd better go to their
hometown and snoop around.
I'll go.
Really? Then do a good job.
Okay.
Hello.
Thank you for coming.
See this...
When I collected Mancheol's belongings
this was hidden under the inner sole
of his shoe.
You came this far so you must've
brought some good news for me.
I've been working hard but it will be
difficult for you to become a candidate
for provincial assemblyman.
Then I have no choice but
to expose what I know.
We've been played into someone's hands.
What are you trying to say?
Someone sent a letter about your past
to the provincial party president.
Whether you believe me or not, the Star
Hotel thing wasn't Sangguk's intention.
It's not a good idea for you to lie to me.
Someone sent these photos to me.
Whoever it is must know a lot about us.
Let me tell you the truth.
I thought you sent the threatening
letters to me and Sangguk.
But I've since realized it wasn't you.
The person who did it wants us to
fight each other until we're all dead.
And you were caught in his plot.
Who would that be?
I have no idea.
Do you have anyone in mind?
I think it might be the person
who attacked you the other day.
You have someone in mind now, right?
No.
If you're hiding something,
please tell me the truth.
Then we can take the right steps.
I ordered Dongchan to follow him.
But it's difficult to prove his crime
with this letter.
It's not a hand written letter
so Dongchan has plausible deniability.
We need additional evidence.
I'll testify.
I'll testify about everything that
happened between me and Dongchan.
If Dongchan denies it, that's it.
I have an audiotape where I taped
his voice when I was beaten up.
Then you'll have to leave the police
force and you'll get punished too.
I'm ready for that.
I understand what you're thinking.
But you'll only prove his
assault and battery by doing that.
We need to prove that he committed
murder and who's behind him too.
Detective Kim Sucheol speaking.
Detective Seo Haeun?
He's not here at the moment.
Who's calling?
Which church?
Why is Skull so late?
I lost contact with him.
Since when?
Since he called saying he'd been
threatened by Sangcheol.
What is this jerk plotting?
He wouldn't betray you.
But he did Sangcheol!
Find him right now!
Okay
Shinhyeok hasn't showed up at all lately.
Why are you waiting for him?
I'm just curious because he used
to come to see us often.
Seo Eunha speaking.
You know, don't you?
You know that Shinhyeok is actually
Ganghyeok.
You probably realized when you saw
Ganghyeok's bracelet that time
when Shinyeong wore it.
Yes
I found out recently.
I can't be just happy that
Ganghyeok's still alive.
I can't because of Shinhyeok.
I'm so sad when I think of Ganghyeok's pain
but I couldn't even say anything
nice to comfort him.
To Shinhyeok and Ganghyeok,
I'm really sorry.
Don't be. It's not your fault.
All I can do is to trust Ganghyeok and wait.
I don't know what he's trying to do but I will.
Still I can't stop worrying.
I'm afraid to say this, but be with him
and encourage him, please.
You're the person he needs the most right now.
This is the letter that Edmund sent me.
Edmund?
It's Lim Daeshik's baptismal name.
I see.
Someone probably collected
the letter while I was absent.
But I found it yesterday while
cleaning my desk.
Thank you for bringing it to us.
I realized the date on the postmark
was the same as when he died.
I thought it could mean something.
That's why I called the detective
who came to see me before.
I see.
"Judah's sin is carved with an iron tool.
It is written with a sharp stone.
It is written on the horns that stick out
from the corners of their altars.
Even their children offer sacrifices
to other gods on those altars.
They worship strange gods beside
the green trees and on the high hills.
They use the poles that were made
to worship the goddess Asherah.
Through your own fault I'll give away
your wealth and all your treasure as
plunder to your enemy." (Jeremiah 17)
Aren't these just Bible verses?
Well, they look like they mean something.
But what would they mean?
I have no idea. They're just Bible verses to me.
Maybe it's giving a hint about some evidence.
Evidence?
It's possible that Lim Daeshik left
some evidence before he died.
That's why Choi Dongchan looked
for it all over the place.
Where did you hear that?
From Park Sangcheol.
Did you meet Park Sangcheol?
Yes
That was a risky thing to do.
He's a criminal on the run.
What do you think you can do with him?
It was Park Sangcheol who lured
my dad to Gangreung.
What?
Incheol ordered Lim Daeshik to do it and
he asked Park Sangcheol to call my dad.
Are you saying that Incheol
is involved in all this?
Is that what Park Sangcheol told you?
Yes
You shouldn't believe all of what he said to you.
Incheol already knows that I'm Haeun.
But he's keeping quiet about it which
means what Park Sangcheol said is true.
And Choi Dongchan is tailing me around now.
It's probably on Incheol's orders.
It's quite likely that it was
Lee Taejun and Jeong Sangguk.
Incheol virtually sat and watched them doing it.
But he's complicit.
Whether he had dad killed or led him
to his death the result was the same.
Geonha's case is already past
the statute of limitations.
Even if he really made a fake witness and
used it to entice Geonha, we can't punish him
because it was Lee Taejun and Jeong Sangguk
who gave the order to kill Lim Daeshik.
That might be wrong.
What do you mean?
That could also be a trick of Incheol.
And it's also possible that he gave
the order to kill Shinhyeok.
But he had no reason to do that.
He must've been afraid the fact
he trapped dad would be revealed.
But I still don't understand why
he had to do that to my dad.
So what are you going to do now?
Incheol is your mother's husband
and your sister's father.
So do you want me to forgive him?
No, I don't mean that.
I want you to come back to Detective
Seo Haeun and investigate this case.
And when you find the truth,
I hope you bring the culprits to justice.
As you said, dad's case is already
past the statute of limitations.
And I know I can't bring Incheol to justice either.
But what I can't stand the most is that he's
my mother's husband and my sister's father.
The happiest moment for me is
when I drink tea with you alone.
Sometimes I can't believe it.
What?
That I'm actually living with you like this.
And sometimes I worry you may leave me.
Why do you think that?
You know what?
I fell in love with you before Geonha did.
And I've been the same from that
moment until now.
I know.
Delivery.
Eunha?
Surprise! I made your favorite
kimbap and dumplings.
You haven't had these for a long time.
Let's go and see our lighthouses.
I want to see how they are. Let's go.
Sure.
Then let's go now. If we drive all night,
we'll get there at dawn.
We can see the sunrise.
It's okay to skip work for once.
No, we can just live in Gangreung.
Let's all live with dad. Just like before.
Eunha...
Do you think we can rent the same
house where we used to live?
Should I go and convince
the old landlord to rent it to us?
I think we could even buy it with
the bond I've got on the place I'm in now.
I can get a job and dad can open
a shop there.
And you...
So our deal finishes with this.
That's right.
There's a lot of interesting stuff there.
Do you really think so?
It's all about your husband bribing politicians
and getting favors from them for J&C.
That's what I'm saying.
If this is revealed to the public,
it will rock the nation.
Then you won't be safe either.
So I want to ask you a favor.
No matter what you use this for,
my name must stay a complete secret.
Of course I believe that you'll ensure that.
You can stop worrying.
Is this really Park Heesu?
Yes.
Is Park Heesu Min Suhee's son?
According to the orphanage director,
it's true.
Do you want me to find out
some more on that?
No. That's okay.
Forget about it and just leave.
I said I won't go anywhere until
I find my mother.
Don't be stubborn and listen to me.
Who's being stubborn now?
What if they learn who you really are?
They haven't got a clue yet.
Please look at it from my perspective.
You find out your mother who
you thought dead might be alive.
Would you just leave the country
without looking for her?
You wouldn't, would you?
You should go. I'll look for her instead.
Trust me. If she's still alive,
I promise you I'll find her.
Give me just a week.
If I can't find her within a week
I'll leave then.
You can give me a week, can't you?
Come on!
Then promise me that you'll definitely
leave here in a week.
Okay.
Then you should also keep the promise
that you'll find her after I leave.
I will.
Then find my father too while
you're looking for my mother.
I'm sure that my father put out
that missing person's notice.
But they don't want to tell me who did it.
Can you find out who it is?
You must have that much influence.
Answer me!
I'm just assuming you agree to
that promise too.
Don't think that you can keep lying to me.
What are you talking about?
I know you sent Mr. Lee to the saloon bar
owner to get me off Ganghyeok's story.
How deep were you involved?
I thought I explained it all last time.
I know that wasn't all.
Ganghyeok and Detective Yu Geonha's deaths
were they done by Choi Dongchan on
yours and Sangguk's orders?
Why can't you answer me?
How many times should I tell you
to make you believe me?
Then you'll be okay if I keep covering the
story and find out the murderer, won't you?
If that's what you want, go ahead.
You saw this notice, didn't you?
What's the reason you've been
meeting with Min Suyeon's son?
What are you talking about?
Was Park Heesu born to you and Min Suyeon?
What on earth are you talking about?
That Park Heesu is Min Suyeon's love child.
You've been meeting him so you must know that.
I've met Park Heesu?
Dad, you can stop lying.
I know that the man I ran into here
the other day is Park Heesu.
The man you ran into...
Are you talking about Steven Lee?
Steven Lee?
You must've been mistaken.
His name is Steven Lee.
I don't know what you're talking about
but I'm sure he's Park Heesu.
When I went to see Min Suyeon's mother,
I saw him there too.
And I confirmed it with his photo.
He's your son, right?
Answer me.
It's true, isn't it?
If you have nothing else to say,
please leave here.
Dad.
Later... Let's talk later.
Mr. Lee from Resource Development
Affairs is on the phone.
Tell him to call me later.
He sounds very urgent.
Okay.
Lee Taejun speaking.
What the devil is going on?
What are you talking about?
A man named Steven Lee from
Lion Funds just came,
but he's not the one you introduced
to me before.
You came.
Let me introduce you to a special guest
from Hong Kong.
I'm Steven Lee from Lion Funds.
I'm Yu Shinhyeok.
He came to talk about the gas pipeline work.
I see.
Okay.
I'll do that right now.
The real Steven Lee came to Korea.
When?
It's just a week.
I'll protect you for a week but
you have to leave after that.
Okay.
Hwang Jongin's mother got remarried to
Kang Incheol's family butler,
then she gave birth to Choi Dongchan.
Butler?
Yes. Hwang Jongin and Choi Dongchan
grew up in Kang Incheol's house.
Kang Incheol's family moved to
Seoul for his father's business.
Then Hwang Jongin's family also
followed them to Seoul a year later.
Choi Dongchan and Hwang Jongin
are half brothers but they have
a strong fraternal bond.
And Kang Incheol's father supported
Hwang Jongin to go to college.
What about Choi Dongchan?
According to one of his relatives, he left
home when he was in middle school.
Since then, he's heard nothing from
Choi Dongchan.
Oh and I found out something for Gangju.
Choi Dongchan and Park Sangcheol were once
booked on a charge of assault and battery.
And?
Choi Dongchan alone was released
without charge.
Do you think Kang Incheol helped him out?
I think so.
But if it was Lim Daeshik, he would've got
both of them out.
Boss!
Skull just called.
Who's that?
He's a drug pusher in Sangcheol's
gang. What did he say?
He just said Park Sangcheol
didn't kill Detective Seo Haeun.
And?
And then he hung up.
Why did he call out of the blue?
That's what I'm saying.
Maybe he was threatened by Park Sangcheol.
His younger sister was Park Sangcheol's
girlfriend but he worked for Choi Dongchan.
That means he betrayed Park Sangcheol.
Breaking faith means death in the gang world.
You know where his younger sister is, right?
Yes
Go and see her.
If people know we've been swindled,
we'll be in big trouble.
How many knows about this?
We've just made a natural gas project team.
Get them to keep their lips sealed.
We have to cover this up whatever it takes.
Sure.
But I want to find out who the swindler is.
No, you shouldn't.
Why not?
I'll find out about that.
You just worry about your staff.
You are as old as my father,
I want you to feel comfortable with me.
You have similar taste as me.
I heard you grew up in the States
but your Korean is so fluent.
My parents wanted me to be perfect
in Korean so I had a Korean tutor.
What great parents.
I think so too.
The more I see him, the more Steven
looks like you, Mr. Lee.
Really?
An honor indeed.
The car is ready.
What would you do...
if someone who killed your father and
younger brother is right in front of you?
But if you don't forgive him your mother
and younger sister will be hurt terribly.
What would you do?
Do you think you could forgive him?
No, I wouldn't.
But if my mother and younger sister
would get hurt by me not forgiving him,
I think I'd have to forgive him
even though it's difficult.
What do you mean?
The dead are important but the living
are even more important.
Do you think it's fair for the living to live a lie
without knowing the truth?
I'm going to France.
To France?
Dad said he would send me there to study.
I told him once that I wanted to go
to an architecture school in Lyon.
He was so opposed to me and then
today he said it's okay.
Really?
I'm going to become an architecture
and work for dad's company.
It will be great. You, dad and
me working together, right?
Yes.
What? Is that all I get from you?
It would be better if I didn't know.
What are you talking about?
Did you call me?
Yes.
I heard that you went to see Dongchan.
You must wonder why he controls
my life like he does.
You don't have to explain that.
I've been preparing the deposit notes
that Dongchan asked you for.
But it'll be difficult to prepare them
all at once.
Jinwu.
Yes.
Don't live like me.
I lived wrong.
I have nothing to give you.
Why are you talking like that?
Some people from Lion Funds are here.
I see. Let him come in.
Yes, sir.
They must be from the head office.
Yes.
Hello.
I've been waiting for you.
Nice to meet you. I'm Steven Lee.
I found it out just late yesterday.
Then the Steven Lee we met was fake?
Yes.
Dad.
We have to cover this up.
If this gets out, it will all hit the fan.
That's impossible!
What do you mean?
I sent a lot of money to Hong Kong.
I have to get it back!
You sent money to Hong Kong?
What are you talking about?
You were only supposed to do
the gas pipeline work.
It's not like that! I can't just cover it up!
I can't...
Dad!
Dad!
Dad!
Call the ambulance!
Is he okay?
According to the electrocardiograph,
he's lucky to be alive.
But he must have absolute bed rest.
I see.
After he goes home, drinking and smoking
must be banned.
Stress is the worst thing for him now.
I see.
- Thank you very much.
- You're welcome.
"They worship strange gods beside
the green trees and on the high hills.
They use the poles that were made
to worship the goddess Asherah."
I'm Park Sangcheol.
I'll go home by myself.
I'll take you home.
It's okay.
I have a lot to think about so I want
to be alone.
- I see. Take care.
- Thanks.
The altar is sacred so you can't
just walk around it.
I know.
But I think Lim Daeshik meant this altar
in his letter so I want to have a look.
Go ahead.
But as you see, it's not a good place
to hide any evidence.
Can you tell me what those represent?
The Alpha and Omega represent Jesus.
I see.
Thank you.
What are they?
They are the 14 stations of the cross
which represent Christ's crucifixion.
Alpha...the beginning...
I know you don't have the evidence
that you told me you had.
Then why did you still want to meet me?
I like you so I want to make
a deal with you.
What kind of deal do you want?
Stagnant water goes bad.
If you don't change the water,
the fish in the fishbowl will die.
Don't give me parables.
Get to the point.
Dongchan is too hasty so he makes
a lot of mistakes.
So is Dongchan bad water?
So do you want me to change
the water in the fishbowl?
Isn't that what you want too?
You must be worried that he knows
too much about you.
So what do I get?
It's me.
Oh hi.
You came.
What is it?
Why did you want to see me here,
and at this time?
Let me introduce myself properly, Mr. Kang.
I'm your best friend, Yu Geonha's son,
Yu Ganghyeok.
