This drama series is fictional
and is not related in any way
to actual places, persons,
organizations, settings and events.
[tense music playing]
[Doyoon] There's a secret
behind the honorary chairman's death.
That's why Juhyuk
left these videos behind.
I'll get straight to the point.
I'm not comfortable with you here.
Someone tried to kill you, Director Oh.
-Are you even listening?
-They failed.
-And?
-We're up against professionals.
If I were them, I'd try again.
What are you saying?
I'll protect your life.
You asked me if I was
really just a passerby in Manila.
What if I wasn't?
A friend of mine died in Manila.
The person who killed my friend
is the same person
who attacked you in Manila.
What did you say?
[scoffs]
Listen.
It was an international act of terrorism.
[breathes heavily]
It wasn't.
It wasn't ISIS who attacked you.
Then who was it? Why do they want me dead?
We'll ask them once we catch them.
[sighs]
What are you trying to pull?
Are you threatening me?
So what you're saying is
that the terrorist who tried to kill me
also killed your friend
and that they'll be back again to kill me?
So you're going to wait beside me
for them to strike again?
That's one thing I can be sure of.
I saw their signature.
[sighs]
[dramatic music playing,
viz "I Don't Know Why"]
Don't trust anyone from now on
and don't leave my side.
I'll protect you.

[Doyoon] Ten-hut. Salute.
At ease. Senior Inspector Seo Doyoon.
-Senior Inspector Shin Juhyuk.
-[shushes]
Lower your voices.
Do you know why I called you here?
[both] No, sir.
Senior Inspector Seo will be assigned
to the Presidential Security Service.
You will be guarding
the president at close quarters.
Yes, sir.
You will take note of the people
the president meets privately,
the dates he meets them,
how long he meets them for,
and also what they discuss if possible,
and report back to me.
Did you not understand?
All the information I come across
during my duty is to be kept confidential
to my understanding.
Who am I?
You are the commissioner general
of the National Police Agency.
I am responsible
for all the investigations we perform.
Do you understand?
I do, sir.
Senior Inspector Shin
will be assigned to Seoul Metropolitan
Police Agency's Intelligence Office 1.
Based on the intel
Senior Inspector Seo brings us,
you will secretly investigate
the slush funds
kept by those
who met the president in private
and report your findings
to me and no one else.
[commissioner general] Understood?
Are we secretly investigating
the slush funds kept by the conglomerates?
That's exactly what we're doing.
No one else can know of this
other than you two
and myself.
Don't forget it.
Why have you packed so much?
You're right.
I think I went a bit overboard.
I've got new intel.
-You know the Eight Star Gang, right?
-I do.
The gang of Chinese emigrants in Incheon?
They're not just in Incheon.
They're also active in Busan,
Shanghai, and Hong Kong,
and have their headquarters in Manila.
Don't they run illegal gambling houses?
They dabble in gambling,
drugs, contract killings
Anything that brings in money.
So you've got intel
on the Eight Star Gang in Manila.
You said you were investigating the death
of Hwain Group's Chairman Kim Duo.
Was he really murdered?
I haven't gotten anything solid yet.
I received intel that Hwain Group
launders their slush funds
through the Eight Star Fortune Casino.
[sighs]
Then are you saying
that Chairman Kim's death has something
to do with their money laundering scheme?
Whatever it is,
I have to look into it first.
[Doyoon] Juhyuk!
[wheezes]
Commissioner General's office
How can I help you?
Excuse me. Excuse me!
You can't just barge in here like that!
[breathing heavily]
He died for nothing.
Why have you stopped the investigation?
I'll carry on the investigation
to get to the bottom of it all!
Are you talking
about the death of Shin Juhyuk?
Sir.
Please let me investigate.
Juhyuk's death would be in vain
if we close the case now.
But we don't have
any leads about the killer.
[tense music playing]
[thuds]
[suspenseful music playing]
Send me to Manila.
I'll catch the killer.
Stop being unreasonable.
Shin Juhyuk
[music ends]
[birds chirping]
[ominous music playing]
[Doyoon] Don't trust anyone from now on
and don't leave my side.
I'll protect you.
[knocks on door]
I've shipped out
all the vaccines from Hwain Bio.
I've heard.
[sighs]
Yongmin wanted to see me
so I went to talk to him.
About what?
I hear he'll be investing
in our duty-free shops.
It seems that way.
You agreed to help them launch
their cosmetics line in China in return.
I met with the Chinese ambassador.
It's underway.
Keep a close eye on Yongmin.
He's living with his wife's family
but keeps meddling in our affairs.
More importantly,
we need to change accounting firms.
What?
We should prepare to make the foundation
an international organization.
What are you saying?
We need to stop Chairwoman Park
from taking our funds.
What?
The foundation needs to be transparent and
turned into an international organization.
You already agreed
not to interfere in our business
[sighs]
and I won't beat around the bush
since I'm your brother.
We're just here to launder money for them.
I didn't know until now,
and I don't intend to find out more.
It's not that simple of a matter.
Do you know why I still haven't
divorced my husband?
We'll no longer launder money for them.
Not anymore.
Do you know how much money
your husband needs
to inherit the management rights?
I said I wouldn't do it.
There's a lot you don't know about.
It really isn't that simple.
[sighs]
I've also prepared a lot.
NOW Foundation will be made
an international organization.
[sighs]
Does the chairwoman know?
She does. I told her.
What did she say?
The terrorist attack in Manila
Was ISIS really behind it?
I don't know. We didn't catch the culprit.
Did the attack happen after or before
you told her about the foundation?
After.
Are you worried that Chairwoman Park
might have ordered the attack?
I doubt it.
Hand me the ledgers.
I can't let you have them.
[sighs]
[car approaching]
[Lee Jin] We've arrived, ma'am.
Should I escort you inside?
It's fine. I'll be okay.
[doorbell dings]
Director Oh is here.
[lock beeps, clicks]
[door closes]
[harp playing]
[scoffs]
Stop that racket
and tell me what you're here to say.
Why did you quit playing the harp?
You already know why, so why ask?
[exhales deeply]
You said you met Junhee's father
while you were studying abroad.
How long have you known about us?
When you first showed me Junhee.
[sighs]
You're unbelievable.
Why didn't you say anything?
How did you not know
that I knew all along?
What are you going to do now?
Should I be doing something?
Shouldn't it be you?
-Aren't you going to divorce him?
-If I was going to do that,
I would've made it clear sooner
that I already knew.
Why won't you get a divorce?
You don't even sleep with him anymore.
Shut it.
Come on, Wansoo.
And you didn't even lock the doors.
The place was full
of reporters with cameras.
Did I really have to
endanger my marriage and reputation
because of someone like you?
[scoffs]
Is that what you're upset about?
Because of your reputation?
Are you not mad
that I stole your husband from you?
[scoffs]
You can't steal anything from me.
I've always known
what you were capable of.
So why did you keep pretending
not to know anything?
[sighs]
-To avoid having this talk with you.
-[sighs]
Had I known, we'd have talked
about this much earlier.
-After what happened to Chanhee
-You shut your trap.
Frankly speaking,
you should be thanking me.
Every time Yongkook had an affair,
I followed him
and dealt with all those girls.
Who do you think
dealt with the mess he left behind?
What about you then?
-How are you different from them?
-Wansoo.
Go to Switzerland.
[sighs]
I'm going to talk to Chairwoman Park.
And tell her what?
That's a secret.
You don't have a child,
so who will inherit Hwain?
Why would you worry about that?
Do you even want to have another child?
[tense music playing]
I'm thinking of having
another child with Yongkook.
[scoffs]
-Like a surrogacy?
-What?
Leave and take Junhee with you.
There are a lot of great schools
in Switzerland.
You should divorce him instead.
I won't divorce him.
I met Yongkook before you did.
I met him even before you married him.
I know.
Junhee was a year older than Chanhee.
The only reason I treated you
nicely all these years
was because Junhee was a year older
and I pitied you.
[bag rustles]
Should I tell you
a little secret?
-Go on.
-You might not want to hear it standing.
Why don't you sit down?
Do you know why Yongkook
decided to marry you?
What?
He met you while volunteering in Africa.
He asked for your hand in marriage
under the starry skies of Africa
where you two fell in love.
Is that what you think happened?
What do you mean?
You really must have thought
that was how it happened.
Just come out and say it.
What is it you're trying to say?
You're hurting me.
[sighs]
I was pregnant with Junhee then,
so I was in Japan
to get away from Chairwoman Park.
That's when Yongkook used to date
Ko Jinhee, the celebrity.
He woke up after spending
a night with her at a hotel
to find her dead next to him.
What?
Drugs.
She overdosed.
The successor to Hwain Group
did drugs with a celebrity in a hotel room
and the woman ended up dead.
Wouldn't that have caused a commotion?
Other than me,
Yongkook had a fiancée
who his family had arranged for him then.
The marriage fell through.
The woman's family had the intel,
so they found out in the end.
You had a great public image then.
You went from rags to riches.
You were Oh Wansoo the Angel of Charity.
So Yongkook hurriedly left
for Africa with all that money
at Chairwoman Park's order.
Doesn't that hurt your pride?
You were used.
And yet you're his concubine.
Doesn't that hurt your pride?
[chuckles]
I have to put up with it
since I'm raising a child of his.
[dramatic music playing]
Aren't you going to divorce him?
I'm not.
You're not?
You can live as a concubine
for the rest of your life.
[scoffs]
[scoffs]
[sighs]
[car engine starts]
[tense music playing]
[approaching footsteps]
[Wansoo] You wanted to see me, ma'am?
We should bring that kid home.
Are you talking about Junhee?
Yes.
Wasn't this the reason
why you pretended not to know
all this time?
But bring him where?
Here. To my house.
-As Yongkook's son.
-You can't do that.
Don't you talk back to me.
I will deal with
both Jang Taera and her child.
Just stay out of this.
This isn't your business.
This has nothing to do with you.
This is my business.
[tense music playing]
Honey.
[glass clanks]
We need to talk.
[wine sloshing]
[sighs]
Am I nothing to you?
You knew all about Jang Taera.
You even knew that Junhee was my son,
so how could you have
pretended not to know anything?
Why did you marry me?
Because I fell in love
with you at first sight.
Don't you know that?
I want you as my wife.
You're mine.
No matter what happens,
I won't divorce you.
[sighs]
[gulps]
[sighs]
Have Jang Taera
sent away to either the US
or Switzerland along with Junhee.
I'll talk to Mother.
You don't need to do that.
You can send them away yourself.
[sighs]
[sighs]
You can't even do that?
You must think I'm incompetent as well.
I'm not incompetent. I'm irresponsible
because I never had to take responsibility
for anything my entire life.
That's the natural order of things.
[tense music playing]
[glass clanks]
[door opens, closes]
[Byeon] Ms. Jang Taera.
You can't come here
without an appointment at this hour
I said it was important.
I need to talk to Chairwoman Park.
Fine.
Wait in the study.
I'll tell her you're here.
[foreboding music playing]
[doctor] You were the first person
who came to mind when I found this,
so I came straight to you
the moment I returned to Korea with it.
This is the Water of Life
from Switzerland.
It's all the rage across Europe.
Is that so?
It does seem effective.
I felt refreshed
the moment it entered my body.
[doctor] I know.
If it was any cheaper,
I would visit you with it more often.
It's not even that expensive.
Cheap things are cheap for a reason.
Money never lies.
[doctor] You're right, ma'am.
Two to three hundred million won
isn't a small amount of money,
but it sure is worth the money, isn't it?
So if you find stuff like this,
bring them straight to me.
-Of course, ma'am.
-[knocks on door]
Come in.
Ms. Jang Taera is in the study
saying she needs to speak to you.
Jang Taera?
Can you believe her?
That's all I needed to tell you.
Okay.
You may go.
[Taera] You have to give me an answer.
Wansoo keeps threatening me.
I'm not going to Switzerland.
All right. I'll sort it out.
What will you do?
What's this?
Are you expecting me to report to you?
And stop addressing her by name!
You two will look too friendly.
Then what should I call her?
Should I call her sister-in-law?
Get out.
[shouts]
I said get out!
[uneasy music playing]
Yes, Chairwoman Park.
[Chairwoman Park]
Did you get the document, Mr. Han?
Yes, I've received it.
Leave it on my desk in my room.
[Mr. Han] Yes, ma'am.
Let's sort everything out tomorrow.
[Mr. Han] Yes, ma'am.
[phone thuds]
[lively music playing]
[Byeon] This way.
Have them spaced out evenly.
Pull that chair out
to the front a little more.
Good. Let's leave.
Move that light toward the center.
That's right.
-[knocks on door]
-Yes?
[door opens]
Director Oh.
What about my husband?
Well
He's in the garden.
[sighs]
Junhee.
Your shirt.
Who's that kid sitting in that chair?
It looks like Jang Taera's son.
Who's she?
Yongkook's old secretary.
The one he met in New York
and brought on as his secretary.
Isn't that the woman who used
to hang around Wansoo all the time?
[sucks teeth]
[relative] This is going to be fun.
What do you mean?
We're taking the family photo, remember?
-[chuckles]
-[in English] Oh, my gosh.
[in Korean] Hello, Wansoo.
[ominous music playing]
[tense music playing]
Unbelievable.
How could she have pretended
not to know all this time?
[Taera] She must be out of her mind.
[stifled laughter]
I thought we were taking
a family portrait.
[Chairwoman Park]
Here's the paternity test result.
-The result is accurate.
-[sighs]
What do you want from me?
Why would you take a photo like this?
It's been five years since Chanhee died.
Just as you wanted,
I kept it a secret to the world outside.
[exhales sharply]
Are you trying to have that child
replace Chanhee?
You didn't want the world to know
how you lost your child.
Then they can carry on not knowing.
We were fine for the past five years
without making the family portrait public.
And how long
do you think that's going to last?
The child lived his entire life
with his mother's surname as Jang Junhee.
It's time we gave him a new surname.
Give him his father's surname,
or the entire group for all I care.
But I
just can't bring myself
to raise that child as my own.
Why would you care
what people think about a single photo?
You're still the lady of Hwain Group.
Or you can have another child!
We aren't some commoners.
Just what is inside that head of yours?
At least don't get in the way
of making your husband the new chairman.
You won't have another child,
you won't divorce him,
and you don't even care if your husband
becomes the next chairman or not.
Just what is it that you're scheming?
It doesn't matter what you say.
Nothing you can say
will turn that child into Chanhee.
Today is the day
we shoot our family portrait.
We'll take that photo
and people will be free to think
what they want when they see the photo.
If people see that photo,
they'll think the child is Chanhee.
That's why we're taking it.
How clearer do you want me
to make this for you?
[photographer] We'll begin the shoot.
I'll take the photo now.
-One, two, three.
-[camera shutter clicks]
[photographer]
Move the lights back a little.
Wait.
Smile. You have to smile.
[Chairwoman Park] We're ready.
We'll go again.
-[photographer] One, two, three.
-[camera shutter clicks]
Revision proposal of the management
and regulation of NOW Foundation's funds
What is it?
Nothing of note happened after
the PR team uploaded the family photo,
save for a reporter
visiting us in the morning.
About what?
Tell me.
They were tipped off
about Chanhee's skiing accident.
Stop them at all costs.
I'll give the word to our PR team.
I'm going to call it a day.
Call off today's meeting for me.
Yes, ma'am.
[receding footsteps]
-[door opens]
-[sighs]
[Byeon] It's the room farthest
to the left.
We were told to move Junhee's furniture
into Chanhee's room upstairs.
Where is the chairwoman?
She's out on important business.
[tense music playing]
I won't be answering any calls
for the time being.
[phone buzzing]
Incoming call
Ms. Byeon
Seo Doyoon speaking.
[Byeon] Mr. Seo.
Hurry outside and tend to Director Oh.
-[honking]
-Oh, no!
-[tires screech]
-[yelps]
[truck driver] Hey,
watch where you're going!
What are you doing?
Get out.
Just drive.
It's dangerous to go alone.
But I want to be alone.
Pretend I'm not here.
You're here all alone.
[sighs]
[calm music playing]
[birds squawking]
[soft music playing]
[car door closes]
Mr. Seo.
Yes, ma'am.
I don't trust people.
Trusting someone
is a sign of one's competence.
The ability to trust others,
and the ability to be happy
They're all rare qualities.
Then I guess I'm still incompetent,
although people
don't seem to realize that.
You hide it well.
Everything you told me that day.
I don't trust a word of it.
I'm going to keep suspecting you.
Bring me evidence
if you want me to believe you.
Why your friend died,
who it was that killed him,
and what that has to do with me.
I'll tell you that with time.
[Wansoo] And from now on
just keep to your duties as my bodyguard.
Of course.
[car door closes]
[car engine starts]
[tense music playing]
-[car door opens]
-[car beeping]
[car door closes]
[ominous music playing]
[car door closes]
The vice-chairman seems to be here alone.
This is a vacation home
that my aunt gave us as a marriage gift.
It's my first time here with you.
I had a feeling that you'd come here.
What do you want?
So you don't want
to have another child?
[exhales heavily]
Do you have to ask me about things
Taera told you about?
Is it me you don't want
or my child?
Think about what you did to me.
Is that why
you never let me touch you?
This topic is below us.
Let's not talk about it.
[sighs]
So I'm nothing to you.
I was told
that you only needed me
to cover up your dirty scandal.
That's why you hurried to marry me.
That's what my mother thinks.
I married you because I really loved you.
[sighs]
Let's have another child of our own.
I love you.
What do you think you're doing?
I'm your husband.
[muffled grunting]
[suspenseful music playing]
[Wansoo shrieks]
-[Wansoo grunts]
-You said you wouldn't divorce me.
You're mine!
Let go of me!
Why did you pretend
to not know about my affair?
Why?
[panting]
Calm down, sir.
Let go.
If Director Oh gets hurt,
it could end up putting everyone
in a difficult place.
Drive for me, Q1. Let's go.
-[receding footsteps]
-[door opens]
[suspenseful music playing]
[tense music crescendo]
[calm music playing]
[knocks on door]
Come in.
Good morning, ma'am.
You have three prior arrangements
in the afternoon.
We've prepared two sets of clothes,
and you'll be needed
at the foundation by 1:00 p.m.
Thank you.
[cup clanks]
[receding footsteps]
The vice-chairman
returned to the apartment at dawn.
[Ms. Yoon] He will be
going to work from there.
[exhales deeply]
[elevator dings]
The vice-chairman has a guest.
This isn't the first time.
Open up.
[beeps]
[door closes]
Hey.
Hey.
[moans]
Get dressed and go home.
Who are you?
His second wife.
I said go home.
[cheeky music playing]
Hey.
How old are you?
[scoffs]
What in the
[scoffs]
[hisses]
I asked you how it went.
I have to go to work.
Did you ask her? You did, right?
Did she say she won't have another child?
[sighs]
You're killing me. Answer me, will you?
This is Hwain IS.
This way.
[tense music playing]
[beeps]
[clicks]
This is Hwain's video security room.
[Lee Jin] This is where we monitor
the security of our VIPs,
Hwain's headquarters, and subsidiaries.
[guards yelling]
Did you get a good look?
Yes, sir.
[Mr. Park] Listen.
This is Seo Doyoon,
the head of the RF Team.
I'm Seo Doyoon.
[applause]
How about a little exercise?
[suspenseful music playing]
-[blade whooshing]
-[grunting]
-[guard groans, pants]
-[all murmuring]
I want a rematch.
[guards shouting]
[guard] Come on.
Come at me, you punk!
[action music playing, "No Way Out"]
[guards clamoring]
[groaning]
[music stop]
It wasn't easy since it's been too long.
You're just as quick
and accurate as before.
[chuckles]
You've been guarding the vice-chairman
for a while now, haven't you?
I'd say it's been around seven years.
I see.
Go take a shower.
Yes, sir.
When they took the family portrait
Oh, the kid?
Pretend you didn't see anything.
They used to have a son, didn't they?
Officially, he's studying abroad
in Switzerland.
I'm sorry?
I'll let you in on anything
that's strictly necessary for your duty.
Sir.
The former chairman
died of a heart attack, didn't he?
Yes. What about it?
He died at the Grand Palace, right?
Why do you ask?
It's just that
a junior of mine from
the Police Intelligence Bureau asked me.
What? The police?
-Yes, sir?
-Who at the police?
A junior from the Intelligence Bureau.
Tell them to read the papers.
You can find the articles online.
Yes, sir.
[breathes deeply]
[security] Here you go, sir.
This is the two weeks' worth of footage
we have of P's whereabouts.
Thank you. I'll treat you someday.
But why did you need this, sir?
Getting acquainted with my work.
Will you be put in charge
of the vice-chairman from now on?
Don't you know that I'm in charge
of the entire Royal Family?
I'm looking at everyone
including Q, P, and K.
I see.
Understood, sir.
Keep up the good work.
[tense music playing]
[keyboard clacks]
Chairman Kim Duo CCTV
[Doyoon] This isn't the Grand Palace.
Chairman Kim died somewhere else.
You said you were investigating the death
of Hwain Group's Chairman Kim Duo.
Was he really murdered?
Whatever it is,
I have to look into it first.
[Doyoon] He was murdered.
They killed Juhyuk
while trying to cover it up.
Whoever did it
is someone at Hwain Group,
who has something to do with these people.
[dramatic music playing,
viz "I Don't Know Why"]
This drama series is fictional
and is not related in any way
to actual places, persons,
organizations, settings and events.
[tense music playing]
[Doyoon] There's a secret
behind the honorary chairman's death.
That's why Juhyuk
left these videos behind.
I'll get straight to the point.
I'm not comfortable with you here.
Someone tried to kill you, Director Oh.
-Are you even listening?
-They failed.
-And?
-We're up against professionals.
If I were them, I'd try again.
What are you saying?
I'll protect your life.
You asked me if I was
really just a passerby in Manila.
What if I wasn't?
A friend of mine died in Manila.
The person who killed my friend
is the same person
who attacked you in Manila.
What did you say?
[scoffs]
Listen.
It was an international act of terrorism.
[breathes heavily]
It wasn't.
It wasn't ISIS who attacked you.
Then who was it? Why do they want me dead?
We'll ask them once we catch them.
[sighs]
What are you trying to pull?
Are you threatening me?
So what you're saying is
that the terrorist who tried to kill me
also killed your friend
and that they'll be back again to kill me?
So you're going to wait beside me
for them to strike again?
That's one thing I can be sure of.
I saw their signature.
[sighs]
[dramatic music playing,
viz "I Don't Know Why"]
Don't trust anyone from now on
and don't leave my side.
I'll protect you.

[Doyoon] Ten-hut. Salute.
At ease. Senior Inspector Seo Doyoon.
-Senior Inspector Shin Juhyuk.
-[shushes]
Lower your voices.
Do you know why I called you here?
[both] No, sir.
Senior Inspector Seo will be assigned
to the Presidential Security Service.
You will be guarding
the president at close quarters.
Yes, sir.
You will take note of the people
the president meets privately,
the dates he meets them,
how long he meets them for,
and also what they discuss if possible,
and report back to me.
Did you not understand?
All the information I come across
during my duty is to be kept confidential
to my understanding.
Who am I?
You are the commissioner general
of the National Police Agency.
I am responsible
for all the investigations we perform.
Do you understand?
I do, sir.
Senior Inspector Shin
will be assigned to Seoul Metropolitan
Police Agency's Intelligence Office 1.
Based on the intel
Senior Inspector Seo brings us,
you will secretly investigate
the slush funds
kept by those
who met the president in private
and report your findings
to me and no one else.
[commissioner general] Understood?
Are we secretly investigating
the slush funds kept by the conglomerates?
That's exactly what we're doing.
No one else can know of this
other than you two
and myself.
Don't forget it.
Why have you packed so much?
You're right.
I think I went a bit overboard.
I've got new intel.
-You know the Eight Star Gang, right?
-I do.
The gang of Chinese emigrants in Incheon?
They're not just in Incheon.
They're also active in Busan,
Shanghai, and Hong Kong,
and have their headquarters in Manila.
Don't they run illegal gambling houses?
They dabble in gambling,
drugs, contract killings
Anything that brings in money.
So you've got intel
on the Eight Star Gang in Manila.
You said you were investigating the death
of Hwain Group's Chairman Kim Duo.
Was he really murdered?
I haven't gotten anything solid yet.
I received intel that Hwain Group
launders their slush funds
through the Eight Star Fortune Casino.
[sighs]
Then are you saying
that Chairman Kim's death has something
to do with their money laundering scheme?
Whatever it is,
I have to look into it first.
[Doyoon] Juhyuk!
[wheezes]
Commissioner General's office
How can I help you?
Excuse me. Excuse me!
You can't just barge in here like that!
[breathing heavily]
He died for nothing.
Why have you stopped the investigation?
I'll carry on the investigation
to get to the bottom of it all!
Are you talking
about the death of Shin Juhyuk?
Sir.
Please let me investigate.
Juhyuk's death would be in vain
if we close the case now.
But we don't have
any leads about the killer.
[tense music playing]
[thuds]
[suspenseful music playing]
Send me to Manila.
I'll catch the killer.
Stop being unreasonable.
Shin Juhyuk
[music ends]
[birds chirping]
[ominous music playing]
[Doyoon] Don't trust anyone from now on
and don't leave my side.
I'll protect you.
[knocks on door]
I've shipped out
all the vaccines from Hwain Bio.
I've heard.
[sighs]
Yongmin wanted to see me
so I went to talk to him.
About what?
I hear he'll be investing
in our duty-free shops.
It seems that way.
You agreed to help them launch
their cosmetics line in China in return.
I met with the Chinese ambassador.
It's underway.
Keep a close eye on Yongmin.
He's living with his wife's family
but keeps meddling in our affairs.
More importantly,
we need to change accounting firms.
What?
We should prepare to make the foundation
an international organization.
What are you saying?
We need to stop Chairwoman Park
from taking our funds.
What?
The foundation needs to be transparent and
turned into an international organization.
You already agreed
not to interfere in our business
[sighs]
and I won't beat around the bush
since I'm your brother.
We're just here to launder money for them.
I didn't know until now,
and I don't intend to find out more.
It's not that simple of a matter.
Do you know why I still haven't
divorced my husband?
We'll no longer launder money for them.
Not anymore.
Do you know how much money
your husband needs
to inherit the management rights?
I said I wouldn't do it.
There's a lot you don't know about.
It really isn't that simple.
[sighs]
I've also prepared a lot.
NOW Foundation will be made
an international organization.
[sighs]
Does the chairwoman know?
She does. I told her.
What did she say?
The terrorist attack in Manila
Was ISIS really behind it?
I don't know. We didn't catch the culprit.
Did the attack happen after or before
you told her about the foundation?
After.
Are you worried that Chairwoman Park
might have ordered the attack?
I doubt it.
Hand me the ledgers.
I can't let you have them.
[sighs]
[car approaching]
[Lee Jin] We've arrived, ma'am.
Should I escort you inside?
It's fine. I'll be okay.
[doorbell dings]
Director Oh is here.
[lock beeps, clicks]
[door closes]
[harp playing]
[scoffs]
Stop that racket
and tell me what you're here to say.
Why did you quit playing the harp?
You already know why, so why ask?
[exhales deeply]
You said you met Junhee's father
while you were studying abroad.
How long have you known about us?
When you first showed me Junhee.
[sighs]
You're unbelievable.
Why didn't you say anything?
How did you not know
that I knew all along?
What are you going to do now?
Should I be doing something?
Shouldn't it be you?
-Aren't you going to divorce him?
-If I was going to do that,
I would've made it clear sooner
that I already knew.
Why won't you get a divorce?
You don't even sleep with him anymore.
Shut it.
Come on, Wansoo.
And you didn't even lock the doors.
The place was full
of reporters with cameras.
Did I really have to
endanger my marriage and reputation
because of someone like you?
[scoffs]
Is that what you're upset about?
Because of your reputation?
Are you not mad
that I stole your husband from you?
[scoffs]
You can't steal anything from me.
I've always known
what you were capable of.
So why did you keep pretending
not to know anything?
[sighs]
-To avoid having this talk with you.
-[sighs]
Had I known, we'd have talked
about this much earlier.
-After what happened to Chanhee
-You shut your trap.
Frankly speaking,
you should be thanking me.
Every time Yongkook had an affair,
I followed him
and dealt with all those girls.
Who do you think
dealt with the mess he left behind?
What about you then?
-How are you different from them?
-Wansoo.
Go to Switzerland.
[sighs]
I'm going to talk to Chairwoman Park.
And tell her what?
That's a secret.
You don't have a child,
so who will inherit Hwain?
Why would you worry about that?
Do you even want to have another child?
[tense music playing]
I'm thinking of having
another child with Yongkook.
[scoffs]
-Like a surrogacy?
-What?
Leave and take Junhee with you.
There are a lot of great schools
in Switzerland.
You should divorce him instead.
I won't divorce him.
I met Yongkook before you did.
I met him even before you married him.
I know.
Junhee was a year older than Chanhee.
The only reason I treated you
nicely all these years
was because Junhee was a year older
and I pitied you.
[bag rustles]
Should I tell you
a little secret?
-Go on.
-You might not want to hear it standing.
Why don't you sit down?
Do you know why Yongkook
decided to marry you?
What?
He met you while volunteering in Africa.
He asked for your hand in marriage
under the starry skies of Africa
where you two fell in love.
Is that what you think happened?
What do you mean?
You really must have thought
that was how it happened.
Just come out and say it.
What is it you're trying to say?
You're hurting me.
[sighs]
I was pregnant with Junhee then,
so I was in Japan
to get away from Chairwoman Park.
That's when Yongkook used to date
Ko Jinhee, the celebrity.
He woke up after spending
a night with her at a hotel
to find her dead next to him.
What?
Drugs.
She overdosed.
The successor to Hwain Group
did drugs with a celebrity in a hotel room
and the woman ended up dead.
Wouldn't that have caused a commotion?
Other than me,
Yongkook had a fiancée
who his family had arranged for him then.
The marriage fell through.
The woman's family had the intel,
so they found out in the end.
You had a great public image then.
You went from rags to riches.
You were Oh Wansoo the Angel of Charity.
So Yongkook hurriedly left
for Africa with all that money
at Chairwoman Park's order.
Doesn't that hurt your pride?
You were used.
And yet you're his concubine.
Doesn't that hurt your pride?
[chuckles]
I have to put up with it
since I'm raising a child of his.
[dramatic music playing]
Aren't you going to divorce him?
I'm not.
You're not?
You can live as a concubine
for the rest of your life.
[scoffs]
[scoffs]
[sighs]
[car engine starts]
[tense music playing]
[approaching footsteps]
[Wansoo] You wanted to see me, ma'am?
We should bring that kid home.
Are you talking about Junhee?
Yes.
Wasn't this the reason
why you pretended not to know
all this time?
But bring him where?
Here. To my house.
-As Yongkook's son.
-You can't do that.
Don't you talk back to me.
I will deal with
both Jang Taera and her child.
Just stay out of this.
This isn't your business.
This has nothing to do with you.
This is my business.
[tense music playing]
Honey.
[glass clanks]
We need to talk.
[wine sloshing]
[sighs]
Am I nothing to you?
You knew all about Jang Taera.
You even knew that Junhee was my son,
so how could you have
pretended not to know anything?
Why did you marry me?
Because I fell in love
with you at first sight.
Don't you know that?
I want you as my wife.
You're mine.
No matter what happens,
I won't divorce you.
[sighs]
[gulps]
[sighs]
Have Jang Taera
sent away to either the US
or Switzerland along with Junhee.
I'll talk to Mother.
You don't need to do that.
You can send them away yourself.
[sighs]
[sighs]
You can't even do that?
You must think I'm incompetent as well.
I'm not incompetent. I'm irresponsible
because I never had to take responsibility
for anything my entire life.
That's the natural order of things.
[tense music playing]
[glass clanks]
[door opens, closes]
[Byeon] Ms. Jang Taera.
You can't come here
without an appointment at this hour
I said it was important.
I need to talk to Chairwoman Park.
Fine.
Wait in the study.
I'll tell her you're here.
[foreboding music playing]
[doctor] You were the first person
who came to mind when I found this,
so I came straight to you
the moment I returned to Korea with it.
This is the Water of Life
from Switzerland.
It's all the rage across Europe.
Is that so?
It does seem effective.
I felt refreshed
the moment it entered my body.
[doctor] I know.
If it was any cheaper,
I would visit you with it more often.
It's not even that expensive.
Cheap things are cheap for a reason.
Money never lies.
[doctor] You're right, ma'am.
Two to three hundred million won
isn't a small amount of money,
but it sure is worth the money, isn't it?
So if you find stuff like this,
bring them straight to me.
-Of course, ma'am.
-[knocks on door]
Come in.
Ms. Jang Taera is in the study
saying she needs to speak to you.
Jang Taera?
Can you believe her?
That's all I needed to tell you.
Okay.
You may go.
[Taera] You have to give me an answer.
Wansoo keeps threatening me.
I'm not going to Switzerland.
All right. I'll sort it out.
What will you do?
What's this?
Are you expecting me to report to you?
And stop addressing her by name!
You two will look too friendly.
Then what should I call her?
Should I call her sister-in-law?
Get out.
[shouts]
I said get out!
[uneasy music playing]
Yes, Chairwoman Park.
[Chairwoman Park]
Did you get the document, Mr. Han?
Yes, I've received it.
Leave it on my desk in my room.
[Mr. Han] Yes, ma'am.
Let's sort everything out tomorrow.
[Mr. Han] Yes, ma'am.
[phone thuds]
[lively music playing]
[Byeon] This way.
Have them spaced out evenly.
Pull that chair out
to the front a little more.
Good. Let's leave.
Move that light toward the center.
That's right.
-[knocks on door]
-Yes?
[door opens]
Director Oh.
What about my husband?
Well
He's in the garden.
[sighs]
Junhee.
Your shirt.
Who's that kid sitting in that chair?
It looks like Jang Taera's son.
Who's she?
Yongkook's old secretary.
The one he met in New York
and brought on as his secretary.
Isn't that the woman who used
to hang around Wansoo all the time?
[sucks teeth]
[relative] This is going to be fun.
What do you mean?
We're taking the family photo, remember?
-[chuckles]
-[in English] Oh, my gosh.
[in Korean] Hello, Wansoo.
[ominous music playing]
[tense music playing]
Unbelievable.
How could she have pretended
not to know all this time?
[Taera] She must be out of her mind.
[stifled laughter]
I thought we were taking
a family portrait.
[Chairwoman Park]
Here's the paternity test result.
-The result is accurate.
-[sighs]
What do you want from me?
Why would you take a photo like this?
It's been five years since Chanhee died.
Just as you wanted,
I kept it a secret to the world outside.
[exhales sharply]
Are you trying to have that child
replace Chanhee?
You didn't want the world to know
how you lost your child.
Then they can carry on not knowing.
We were fine for the past five years
without making the family portrait public.
And how long
do you think that's going to last?
The child lived his entire life
with his mother's surname as Jang Junhee.
It's time we gave him a new surname.
Give him his father's surname,
or the entire group for all I care.
But I
just can't bring myself
to raise that child as my own.
Why would you care
what people think about a single photo?
You're still the lady of Hwain Group.
Or you can have another child!
We aren't some commoners.
Just what is inside that head of yours?
At least don't get in the way
of making your husband the new chairman.
You won't have another child,
you won't divorce him,
and you don't even care if your husband
becomes the next chairman or not.
Just what is it that you're scheming?
It doesn't matter what you say.
Nothing you can say
will turn that child into Chanhee.
Today is the day
we shoot our family portrait.
We'll take that photo
and people will be free to think
what they want when they see the photo.
If people see that photo,
they'll think the child is Chanhee.
That's why we're taking it.
How clearer do you want me
to make this for you?
[photographer] We'll begin the shoot.
I'll take the photo now.
-One, two, three.
-[camera shutter clicks]
[photographer]
Move the lights back a little.
Wait.
Smile. You have to smile.
[Chairwoman Park] We're ready.
We'll go again.
-[photographer] One, two, three.
-[camera shutter clicks]
Revision proposal of the management
and regulation of NOW Foundation's funds
What is it?
Nothing of note happened after
the PR team uploaded the family photo,
save for a reporter
visiting us in the morning.
About what?
Tell me.
They were tipped off
about Chanhee's skiing accident.
Stop them at all costs.
I'll give the word to our PR team.
I'm going to call it a day.
Call off today's meeting for me.
Yes, ma'am.
[receding footsteps]
-[door opens]
-[sighs]
[Byeon] It's the room farthest
to the left.
We were told to move Junhee's furniture
into Chanhee's room upstairs.
Where is the chairwoman?
She's out on important business.
[tense music playing]
I won't be answering any calls
for the time being.
[phone buzzing]
Incoming call
Ms. Byeon
Seo Doyoon speaking.
[Byeon] Mr. Seo.
Hurry outside and tend to Director Oh.
-[honking]
-Oh, no!
-[tires screech]
-[yelps]
[truck driver] Hey,
watch where you're going!
What are you doing?
Get out.
Just drive.
It's dangerous to go alone.
But I want to be alone.
Pretend I'm not here.
You're here all alone.
[sighs]
[calm music playing]
[birds squawking]
[soft music playing]
[car door closes]
Mr. Seo.
Yes, ma'am.
I don't trust people.
Trusting someone
is a sign of one's competence.
The ability to trust others,
and the ability to be happy
They're all rare qualities.
Then I guess I'm still incompetent,
although people
don't seem to realize that.
You hide it well.
Everything you told me that day.
I don't trust a word of it.
I'm going to keep suspecting you.
Bring me evidence
if you want me to believe you.
Why your friend died,
who it was that killed him,
and what that has to do with me.
I'll tell you that with time.
[Wansoo] And from now on
just keep to your duties as my bodyguard.
Of course.
[car door closes]
[car engine starts]
[tense music playing]
-[car door opens]

[car door closes]
[ominous music playing]
[car door closes]
The vice-chairman seems to be here alone.
This is a vacation home
that my aunt gave us as a marriage gift.
It's my first time here with you.
I had a feeling that you'd come here.
What do you want?
So you don't want
to have another child?
[exhales heavily]
Do you have to ask me about things
Taera told you about?
Is it me you don't want
or my child?
Think about what you did to me.
Is that why
you never let me touch you?
This topic is below us.
Let's not talk about it.
[sighs]
So I'm nothing to you.
I was told
that you only needed me
to cover up your dirty scandal.
That's why you hurried to marry me.
That's what my mother thinks.
I married you because I really loved you.
[sighs]
Let's have another child of our own.
I love you.
What do you think you're doing?
I'm your husband.
[muffled grunting]
[suspenseful music playing]
[Wansoo shrieks]
-[Wansoo grunts]
-You said you wouldn't divorce me.
You're mine!
Let go of me!
Why did you pretend
to not know about my affair?
Why?
[panting]
Calm down, sir.
Let go.
If Director Oh gets hurt,
it could end up putting everyone
in a difficult place.
Drive for me, Q1. Let's go.
-[receding footsteps]
-[door opens]
[suspenseful music playing]
[tense music crescendo]
[calm music playing]
[knocks on door]
Come in.
Good morning, ma'am.
You have three prior arrangements
in the afternoon.
We've prepared two sets of clothes,
and you'll be needed
at the foundation by 1:00 p.m.
Thank you.
[cup clanks]
[receding footsteps]
The vice-chairman
returned to the apartment at dawn.
[Ms. Yoon] He will be
going to work from there.
[exhales deeply]
[elevator dings]
The vice-chairman has a guest.
This isn't the first time.
Open up.
[beeps]
[door closes]
Hey.
Hey.
[moans]
Get dressed and go home.
Who are you?
His second wife.
I said go home.
[cheeky music playing]
Hey.
How old are you?
[scoffs]
What in the
[scoffs]
[hisses]
I asked you how it went.
I have to go to work.
Did you ask her? You did, right?
Did she say she won't have another child?
[sighs]
You're killing me. Answer me, will you?
This is Hwain IS.
This way.
[tense music playing]
[beeps]
[clicks]
This is Hwain's video security room.
[Lee Jin] This is where we monitor
the security of our VIPs,
Hwain's headquarters, and subsidiaries.
[guards yelling]
Did you get a good look?
Yes, sir.
[Mr. Park] Listen.
This is Seo Doyoon,
the head of the RF Team.
I'm Seo Doyoon.
[applause]
How about a little exercise?
[suspenseful music playing]
-[blade whooshing]
-[grunting]
-[guard groans, pants]
-[all murmuring]
I want a rematch.
[guards shouting]
[guard] Come on.
Come at me, you punk!
[action music playing, "No Way Out"]
[guards clamoring]
[groaning]
[music stop]
It wasn't easy since it's been too long.
You're just as quick
and accurate as before.
[chuckles]
You've been guarding the vice-chairman
for a while now, haven't you?
I'd say it's been around seven years.
I see.
Go take a shower.
Yes, sir.
When they took the family portrait
Oh, the kid?
Pretend you didn't see anything.
They used to have a son, didn't they?
Officially, he's studying abroad
in Switzerland.
I'm sorry?
I'll let you in on anything
that's strictly necessary for your duty.
Sir.
The former chairman
died of a heart attack, didn't he?
Yes. What about it?
He died at the Grand Palace, right?
Why do you ask?
It's just that
a junior of mine from
the Police Intelligence Bureau asked me.
What? The police?
-Yes, sir?
-Who at the police?
A junior from the Intelligence Bureau.
Tell them to read the papers.
You can find the articles online.
Yes, sir.
[breathes deeply]
[security] Here you go, sir.
This is the two weeks' worth of footage
we have of P's whereabouts.
Thank you. I'll treat you someday.
But why did you need this, sir?
Getting acquainted with my work.
Will you be put in charge
of the vice-chairman from now on?
Don't you know that I'm in charge
of the entire Royal Family?
I'm looking at everyone
including Q, P, and K.
I see.
Understood, sir.
Keep up the good work.
[tense music playing]
[keyboard clacks]
Chairman Kim Duo CCTV
[Doyoon] This isn't the Grand Palace.
Chairman Kim died somewhere else.
You said you were investigating the death
of Hwain Group's Chairman Kim Duo.
Was he really murdered?
Whatever it is,
I have to look into it first.
[Doyoon] He was murdered.
They killed Juhyuk
while trying to cover it up.
Whoever did it
is someone at Hwain Group,
who has something to do with these people.
[dramatic music playing,
