[servant 1] Ms. Byeon!
Ms. Byeon! Ms. Byeon!
Ms. Byeon!
What happened?
[servant 2] Who died?
Did the bodyguard die?
The police are here
to investigate a murder case.
[camera shutter clicking]
[servant 2] That's impossible.
Who told you such a lie?
Ms. Oh Wansoo and her bodyguard
Are you saying
that the two of them weren't lovers?
Lovers?
[scoffs]
That's ridiculous.
[servant 1] Were they lovers?
What good is all this money?
What's the point of marrying into
a rich conglomerate family?
Their marriage seemed a little rocky.
How could you tell
that their marriage was rocky?
I can't tell you that.
Listen.
We're investigating a murder case.

[host in English] "Ladies and gentlemen."
"Welcome to tonight's festivities."
[clears throat]
[light music playing]
[Mr. Park in Korean] Hey.
[patting on arm]
[elevator dings]
Vice-Chairman Kim.
[Mr. Park] This is Seo Doyoon, who will be
joining our security team as of today.
Say hello.
[tense music playing]
I'm Seo Doyoon.
[Mr. Park] He saved Director Oh yesterday.
He was a senior inspector
in the police force.
[Yongkook] Thank you for yesterday.
You can reward him accordingly.
He was also a junior of mine
at the Korean National Police University.
He quit the force not long ago
-and was in Manila for his vacation
-That's great.
Keep up the good work.
[tense music playing]
[classical music playing]
[in English] Ladies and gentlemen.
Attention, please.
Please help me in welcoming in
NOW Foundation's Director Oh
and her husband
with a warm round of applause.
[applause]
[classical music playing]
Nice to meet you.
Hello. Did you sleep well?
-Very well.
-[giggles]
Thank you.
[applause]
[Wansoo in Korean] I was born dirt-poor.
[birds chirping]
Year 1990
[calm music playing]
What a great shot, madam!
[all cheer]
[caddie 1] One more time.
Don't forget to say "thank you."
-Thank you.
-[caddie 1] You're welcome.
That shot was perfect, madam!
Great shot, sir!
-[caddie 1] She's really good.
-[caddie 2] She's adorable.
[caddie 3] You're the best.
[caddie 4] Let me give you two this time.
[Wansoo's mom] Stop giving her so much.
[young Wansoo] Great shot, madam!
[Wansoo] My mom used to be a caddie.
[Wansoo's mom] Great shot, madam!
It's fine.
It's still on course.
-[groans]
-You call that a great shot?
Do you really?
A great shot should fly straight.
That ball barely made it on course.
How is that great?
That really hurt, madam.
-Could you at least take off your gloves
-You little
Who are you calling "madam"?
Answer me!
[Wansoo] This is my future mother-in-law.
I'm not just any "madam,"
I'm the vice-chairwoman!
-I'm so sorry!
-[Wansoo] This woman who is throwing a fit
over being called "madam,"
is the only daughter
of the richest family in Korea,
-and this man, the woman's husband
-[sighs]
is the son of the president at the time.
[Chairwoman Park] Unbelievable!
[Wansoo's mom] Excuse me, madam.
Enough of that.
[Wansoo's mom] I'm so sorry, madam.
[Wansoo] This man is a lawyer
who also works as the woman's secretary.
-[Chairwoman Park] I told you to get lost!
-[Wansoo] And these children
are my future brother-in-law
and my husband.
I'm terribly sorry, madam, I mean
[shouts angrily]
I told you to stop addressing me that way!
[Wansoo] "Don't call me 'madam.'"
"I am the vice-chairwoman of Hwain Group."
Just get lost. Scram.
Get lost, go!
Unbelievable!
[Wansoo] Because my mom didn't know that
she was fired that day.
[horn honking]
[calm music playing]
Whose clubs are these, Mom?
They're yours now.
That old hag
She'll be fuming
that her son's clubs are missing.
-They're mine?
-Of course.
Wansoo.
You'll start playing golf now, okay?
Okay!
[light music playing]
Straighten your leg. Good.
Now, go.
You weren't keeping your eyes on the ball.
Don't take your eyes off the ball.
Very good.
Let's try again.
-One more time.
-Mom.
Can I stop now?
You can't.
You need to hit all 100 balls.
You only hit 30 balls.
That's it!
Well done.
Now let's try the driver.
[trainer] Let's try that again.
Let me see your backswing.
Year 1998
Again. Your right shoulder is too tense
during your backswing.
Now, go.
Again. That was a draw.
Pull your head forward and keep it steady.
Watch your pelvis. Good.
Nice shot, ma'am.
Nice.
That was great.
[Wansoo] I quit middle school
to start working as a caddie.
I made a living during the day
and practiced golf at night.
[lively music playing]
[train alarm blaring]
[calm music playing]
[TV narrator] Just four years
after Pak Seri started learning golf,
she started putting her name out there
by winning various amateur tournaments.
While 15 and still a student
at Daejeon's Galma Middle School,
-she first took part
-This is the last of the rice we have.
[Wansoo's mom] Hurry up and sit down.
What is it?
Look at that.
That's the US.
[commentator in English] Well, I think
Pak Seri is quite the player.
-I think the most important thing
-[in Korean] Quit caddying right now.
Why?
You should go to the US
and take the Playing Ability Test.
How are we supposed to do that?
We don't even have any money.
Shouldn't Wansoo go back to school?
[Wansoo's mom] You should keep studying.
She won't even earn 300,000 won a month
even if she gets a job now.
But look.
How much do you think Pak Seri got
from winning that tournament in the US?
She received a whopping 280 million won.
280 million won.
[both] 280 million won?
[Wansoo's mom] What good is putting her
through school going to do?
Wansoo.
You should become a pro
as soon as possible.
Don't you think so?
[background chatter]
[soft music playing]
[airplane zooming]
Year 2010
[bright music playing]
[Wansoo] I earned my Tour Card
two years after I arrived in the US,
and I won 20 tournaments over 10 years.
After winning the Tour Championship,
I became a Hall of Famer
and returned to Korea
after my 12 years abroad.
Anika Campbell VS Oh Wansoo
First playoff hole
[commentator 1] This is the final match
in the US Women's Open Championship.
Korea's Oh Wansoo and the US's
Anika Campbell ended the round in a tie
with a score of 11-under.
The two players have teed off
in the playoff hole.
If Korea's Oh Wansoo is to win today,
she will finally meet the requirements
to join the Hall of Fame.
The US's Anika Campbell
is taking her second shot.
The distance to the hole is 155 yards.
She chose the six-iron.
That was a clean shot.
-[commentator 2] That was a great shot.
-[commentator 1] Almost picturesque.
She landed the ball
right next to the hole.
[commentator 2] Oh Wansoo must be
under a lot of pressure right now.
[commentator 1] Oh Wansoo is now about
to make her second swing
on the playoff hole.
She has around 150 yards left to go.
There's some headwind,
which will be troublesome to deal with.
[commentator 2] If her shot's a bit short,
the ball could land in a hazard.
I think she should use
a six-iron like Ms. Campbell did.
[in English]
Um Maybe number six here will do good.
No. Seven.
S-Seven?
-[Wansoo] Yes.
-Oh.
-Thank you.
-[caddie] All right.
Right here.
[tense music playing]
[upbeat rock music playing]
US OPEN championship winner
Hall of fame
[host in Korean] Ms. Oh.
You used a seven-iron
although there was a strong headwind.
May we ask why?
When I first started golfing,
the only two clubs my mother had for me
were a driver and a seven-iron.
I practiced with nothing
but those two clubs for several years.
Then you picked out the club
you were most comfortable with
at the most crucial moment.
[soft chuckle]
That's right.
Let's take a look at the legendary shot
she made that day.
SHOW! Star golf
[light music playing]
[ball clatters]
[in English] Oh, my god.
You hit that! You see that?
[cheering]
[victorious music playing]
[caddie] You did that!
It was amazing
what you did there on number four.
-Yes.
-Over the lake!
-Right?
-[loan shark] Oh, my fucking god.
[in Korean] Ms. Oh.
Congratulations on your victory.
[loan shark] My boss wants to talk to you
about Ms. Shim Chunhee.
-[loan shark snickers]
-[somber music playing]
[Wansoo] Though I made over 10 billion won
in prize money over those 10 years
Wansoo.
my mom ended up
taking all of my earnings.
[trophy clanks]
She kept digging herself
into debt by gambling.
I ended up cutting all ties with her
and donated all of the money
that I earned thereafter.
-[caddie] Wansoo!
-[Wansoo] That was the moment
I went from being a pro golfer
to the angel of charity.
[host in English] And now,
if we could have
the angel of charity herself
come up on the stage.
Director Oh. Please.
[soft chuckle]
[applause]
[in Korean] I'd like to introduce you all
to my husband,
Vice-Chairman Kim Yongkook of Hwain Group.
[applause]
[interpreter murmuring]
He donated 880 million won tonight
by buying me this necklace
at tonight's charity auction.
Thank you, honey.
[applause]
[whispering]
[exhales deeply]
Everyone.
Crown Prince Muhammad, who promised
to donate five billion tonight,
increased his donation as if to taunt
the terrorists who attacked me yesterday.
He just announced
that he would be making a donation
of 30 billion won
through the NOW Foundation.
Crown Prince Muhammad bin Amir Soleh.
[applause]
[Wansoo] I would also like to thank
each and every one of you
who has joined us tonight.
The support you have shown
through the NOW Foundation tonight
will be used to help
many children in need around the world
and the women
who have become victims of war.
I wish you nothing
but blessings and good luck
in all your future endeavors.
Thank you.
[applause]
[classical music playing]
[indistinct chatter]
[guests in English] Hi.
-Cheers.
-[glasses clink]
[in Korean] You too, Junhee.
[guests in English] Cheers.
[Wansoo in Korean]
Didn't you host a photo exhibition
commemorating the 45th anniversary
of China's economic reform, Ambassador?
The foundation would love
to host that exhibition again.
-We'll be hosting a dinner in Seoul
-[guest in English] How old are you?
[Junhee] I'm 11 years old.
What is your name?
[Junhee] My name is Junhee.
-[guest 1] Junhee?
-[guest 2] He's so cute.
You speak so well.
[laughter]
[guest in Korean] Cheers.
[mouthing]
Follow me.
[indistinct chatter]
[in English] Just a moment, please.
Just a moment.
[laughter]
[classical music playing]
[Yongkook in Korean]
I can't stay here too long.
[friend] You looked amazing today.
You know that, right?
[Yongkook scoffs]
[sighs]
[thrilling music playing]
[glass thuds]
Honey.
It's just us two now.
Sure.
We'll do as you like today.
[sighs]
Honey.
Can you help me unzip my dress?
[classical music playing]
When will it be over? I'm sleepy.
[in English] Excuse me.
[in Korean] Hold on.
[tense music playing]
[both moaning]
[exhales deeply]
[suspenseful music playing]
[switch clicks]
[music fades]
[tense music playing]
[exhales deeply]
[gum wrapper rustling]
[gasps]
[friend] Wansoo.
It's not what you think
Did you have to get caught?
Junhee is looking for you.
You should take him to his room.
[friend] What was that?
[scoffs]
You already knew?
[friend] How long have you known?
[friend scoffs]
You knew about us all along?
This place is full of reporters.
What if they saw you?
[thrilling music playing]
[friend]
I asked how long you've known about us.
Is that so important right now?
[sighs]
[classical music playing]
[glass thuds]
[classical music playing]
-[music stops]
-[applause]
[door closes]
[classical music playing]
[somber music playing]
[buzzes]
Why are you just standing there?
[inhales sharply]
[sighs]
You can leave.
But I have something to tell you,
Chairwoman Park.
Just do as you're told.
[door opens]
-[glass clinking]
-[door closes]
Would you like some as well,
Chairwoman Park?
Who do you think you're speaking to?
How long have you been
throwing stuff at people like that?
Since I was born.
What are you going to do about it?
[sighs]
[sighs]
What? Have you finally lost it?
[splutters]
What do you think you're doing right now?
Shouldn't I be the one
throwing things at you tonight?
-What?
-[sighs]
[tense music playing]
You must be mad.
You've lost your mind, haven't you?
I don't feel any better.
Why do you do such things
when they don't even make you feel better?
I was told
that you knew about them all along.
Judging by your reaction,
you must have known about it as well.
I took you in although you were dirt-poor
and made you who you are today.
I got here myself.
[breathes deeply]
You
You!
You had no intention of divorcing him
even though you knew.
Why would I do that?
I can't believe this.
Had I known
Were you worried
that I might end up divorcing your son?
That's right.
That's why I'm fuming mad right now.
I was afraid that you'd drag
my reputation through the mud
if you decided to divorce.
Keep your hands off NOW foundation, ma'am.
-What?
-I heard you took
a hefty sum of the funds again.
-NOW Foundation isn't yours!
-It is.
My son
I couldn't even take my son skiing once
because I had to fly all over the globe
to make it what it is today,
so it's mine.
-You really must have lost it.
-If I get divorced,
you'll be left
with a lot more to be worried about.
I'm sure you know why.
I hope you'll help me
so that I can keep focused on my job
and not end up divorcing your son.
Good night.
[tense music playing]
[Chairwoman Park] You worthless brat!
I ought to just
-Hey!
-[door opens]
-You!
-[door closes]
I swear that I'll kill her someday.
[light music playing]
Vice-Chairman Kim went to sleep
in a different room
since you'll need a good night's sleep
for your schedule tomorrow morning.
I understand.
-I'll stand guard at the door.
-You don't have to.
You may rest.
[Mr. Park] It's fine, ma'am.
Please leave.
[pensive music playing]
[Wansoo] I met my husband in Africa.
Year 2011
[Wansoo] He was there
to personally hand over the donations
made by Hwain Group's NOW Foundation
since they sponsored my golfing career.
He spent ten days
doing volunteer work with us.
[in English] Hi.
[Wansoo in Korean] After spending
most of the time quietly digging wells,
he asked me this question on the last day.
"Why don't you quit golf and marry me?"
Seoul
Hwain Group's Grand Palace
This way.
So this is what you look like.
[clears throat]
Sit.
It's nice to meet you.
I heard your mom's a gambling addict.
[Wansoo's brother] Well, that's
Only my brother keeps in touch with her.
Did you cut off all ties with her then?
She blew away all of my prize money
gambling in Las Vegas.
How could you tell me that
without any shame?
Because I'm not the one
who's in debt from gambling.
Your mom even caddied
at my golf course once.
Yes, briefly when I was young.
How do you know so much about us,
Chairwoman Park?
[chuckles]
I can't let just anyone into our family
without doing some research beforehand.
You are right, ma'am.
How did you keep playing golf in the US
when your family was so dirt-poor?
Luckily, I won
the first tournament I entered
You also sponsored her.
[laughs]
So I practically fed your entire family.
It was because I was a great golfer.
[Chairwoman Park] Huh.
You seem to have a spotless public image.
You're the model for
one of our cosmetics products, aren't you?
[Wansoo] I am.
[Wansoo's brother]
They've been flying off the shelves
ever since she won
the US Open Championship.
You know Ko Jinhee, right?
The one who died of a drug overdose.
I'm not sure.
She was either a model or an actor,
although I can't remember.
The one Yongkook used to date
before meeting you.
I'm sorry?
I killed her.
[tense music playing]
That crazy bitch wanted to marry my son.
[laughing]
Look at you.
Don't tell me you actually believed that.
How could I have killed her?
People might think it's true
when they see the look on your face.
-I'm in stitches.
-[Wansoo's brother] Ma'am.
You really had me there.
[chuckles]
Goodness.
Yongkook says he loves you.
He does.
What a joke. What does he know about love?
[laughing]
[Chairwoman Park sighs]
You know that Hwain Group
runs a charity foundation, don't you?
Yes, I'm aware of it.
You could take care of that.
That's great.
Wansoo has been
a UNICEF sponsor for some time now.
Get the most expensive
wedding dress there is.
It's a once-in-a-lifetime occasion.
Yes, ma'am.
And you come with me.
Yes, ma'am.
[lawyer] Here's the prenup.
Prenuptial agreement
And the non-disclosure agreement.
And here is
your contract of employment, Mr. Oh,
along with other miscellaneous documents.
Yes, sir.
What about your mom?
-I'm sorry?
-The gambling addict.
Well
Your mother
[sighs]
Hmm
I'm going to need you
to do something for me.
I'm sorry?
Tell your sister
that you found a place for her to stay
somewhere abroad.
I'm not sure I follow you, ma'am.
[Byeon] I'm Byeon Kkochbun.
I manage the household.
You can think of me as a butler.
All right.
[Byeon] Here are my contact details.
Feel free to call me anytime
if you need anything.
I will.
[Wansoo] That's how my marriage began
and 12 years have passed by since then.
[sighs]

[chimes]
[elevator dings]
[dramatic music playing]
[in English]
Where's the lady who was drinking here?
[waitress] She went up.
Yes. Thank you.
[waitress] You're welcome.
[elevator dings]
[dramatic music playing]
[objects clattering]
[sighs]
[soft music playing]
[in Korean] Are you sure
you were just passing by that day?
I'm not one of them.
I really was just passing by.
[lock beeps]
Maybe I should
just sleep with you tonight.
[romantic music playing]
Do you want to sleep with me?
Did you have to get caught?
Are you unhappy?
-No.
-Then
are you lonely?
[soft scoff]
That's definitely not the case.
[romantic music playing]
You should get some sleep, ma'am.
-[knocks on door]
-[music stops]
[tense music playing]
[knocks on door]
[Mr. Park] Let me, sir.
She overdrank at the bar.
[exhales deeply]
[exhales deeply]
[Mr. Park] Have a good night, sir.
[footsteps receding]
[thunder rumbling]
[somber music playing]
[raindrops pattering]
[thunder rumbling]
[birds chirping]
Vice-Chairman Kim left for Hong Kong
on the morning flight.
I'm sure he did.
Chairwoman Park left early as well.
[Wansoo] Let me look over the photos
taken at last night's party
before you upload them
to the foundation's website.
Yes, ma'am.
[elevator dings]
Director Oh.
I'll handle the checking out.
Have the car ready.
[guard] Yes, ma'am.
[in English] Follow me.
[upbeat music playing]
Seoul, Republic of Korea
The Grand Palace
[calm music playing]
Hwain Group's Grand Palace
Seo Doyoon's first day
[Mr. Park in Korean]
This is the second basement floor
but there are windows.
That's where Ms. Byeon,
the overseeing manager, stays.
The maids stay here as well.
Hello.
They're our two chefs.
And these rooms
are for the RF Security Team.
-RF as in "Royal Family"?
-Yes.
Most of the RF team commute daily
but K1, Q1, and P1 live here.
I come and go.
[tense music playing]
[Mr. Park] Welcome, Q1.
-[Mr. Park chuckles]
-[grunts]
What do K, P, and Q stand for?
They stand for King, Prince, and Queen.
The chairwoman, vice-chairman,
and Director Oh respectively.
[scoffs]
I see.
I know you're the head of security here,
but you mostly work
with the vice-chairman, right?
That's right.
Then you must run
his private errands as well.
That's a given.
-What I mean is
-What?
Regarding women?
-I'm sorry?
-Then what?
[in Mandarin] I'm here
with a delivery from the flower shop.
[Mr. Park in Korean]
What is it that you want to know?
I mean, just in general.
Stop worrying and do your best
to get used to this place.
Yes, sir.
[Doyoon]
I found this in Juhyuk's room in Manila.
I hope he's doing well up there.
[Mr. Park sighs]
You said you spent three months in Manila.
Yes, sir.
Did you learn anything new?
No, sir.
[sighs]
It's unfortunate how he died while abroad.
We don't have jurisdiction there.
It's like finding a needle in a haystack.
It'd be impossible for us
to find the killer there.
You're unbelievable.
[knocks on door]
Come in.
I'm Lee Jin.
I'm Seo Doyoon.
She used to be K1,
in charge of the chairwoman,
but she was reassigned to Director Oh
because of the terrorist attack in Manila.
Director Oh has asked to see you, Mr. Seo.
I'll be there right away.
[birds chirping]
[glass thuds]
[pensive music playing]
There is
something I must ask you
to do for me.
You know how much I trust you, right?
Please remain
a member of the Hwain family until then.
Go and see Director Oh.
Yes, sir.
[door opens, closes]
[tense music playing]
[Doyoon] Hang in there, Juhyuk!
Stay with me.
The photo
[suspenseful music playing]
Chairman Kim Duo CCTV
[Doyoon] There's a secret
behind the honorary chairman's death.
That's why Juhyuk
left these videos behind.
[closing theme music playing]
