(Episode 14)
Do Jun told me to drop you off
safe and sound.
When you get there,
you'll see Do Jun's employees from Miracle
waiting for you.
I guess you'll be away
for quite a while.
No one at Jeongsimjae
seemed to know about it.
Why didn't you tell them?
Do Jun told me everything.
Mother, I have to say
You scare me.
Your Soonyang Insurance shares
I heard you handed them over to Do Jun.
From the day my birth mother
brought me to Jeongsimjae
to this very moment,
I have always
felt uncomfortable around you
and found you inaccessible.
You see,
I've done my very best
to take good care of you.
I treated you just like
I treated my own children.
I always bought you nice clothes
and fed you good food.
But with your eyes,
you always told me this.
"If you have a conscience,
you should not forget my kindness."
"So don't you dare dream
of succeeding the throne at Soonyang."
All my life,
I've lived as if
I was protesting against you, Mother.
Going against Father's wishes
and studying films.
Marrying someone you
and Father disapproved of. All of it.
But it turns out,
I'm even worse than you.
The cruel bunch who can do anything
for their children.
I suppose all parents
are like that after all, Mother.
Now that I've become one of such parents,
I can truly understand
how hurt you must've been
by my existence
in and of itself, every single moment.
Mother,
I respect you for enduring it
all through these years.
(Report on
Lee Pil Ok's Borrowed-Name Account)
Regarding
Lee Pil Ok's borrowed-name account,
we found out that
there was a large transaction recently.
The Soonyang Insurance shares
she had purchased
(All transferred to Jin Do Jun)
Here. She's transferred them to Jin Do Jun.
(All transferred to Jin Do Jun)
Ma'am.
Lee Pil Ok isn't in the country.
- What?
- She already left the country.
I confirmed it with Immigration just now.
Darn it.
(Jin Do Jun)
It was you, wasn't it?
Your grandmother.
Lee Pil Ok,
the prime suspect in the proxy murder case.
You helped her flee the country.
Did you cut a deal with her?
Because of her Soonyang Insurance shares?
I tried so hard to catch her,
yet you cut a deal with her.
You, of all people,
know why I wanted to catch her so much.
You've got nothing to say, right?
Just this once.
We're almost there, Min Yeong.
It'll all be over once I'm appointed CEO.
I won't let you down anymore.
You're wrong.
You'll become even more spiteful.
Because you'd want to keep what you have.
Hyeon Min.
You said you wanted to live
like Grandmother
from now on.
You knew everything about her,
but you still said that to me.
What did you mean by that?
Are you going to kill me or something?
I could.
If you
get in the way of that baby
becoming the owner of Soonyang, that is.
I don't care who it is.
I can do anything.
Just like your grandmother.
So you'd better get your act together.
It starts with you.
Are you anxious?
Since we're going all in,
one ace card won't do.
Then what?
Don't worry.
I'm holding the Joker in this round.
(Reborn Rich)
(Soonyang Insurance
General Meeting of Shareholders)
(2002 Soonyang Insurance
General Meeting of Shareholders)
Next, we'll discuss the appointment
of the CEO
of Soonyang Financial Holding Company.
The board of directors recommended
Mr. Lee Hang Jae.
(The 37th Soonyang Insurance
General Meeting of Shareholders)
Mr. Jin Do Jun is another candidate.
All right. We'll vote to decide.
Is everyone ready?
He lashed out at Chairman Jin
in the hospital room?
- Was it the shock that killed him?
- Is this true?
This certainly disqualifies Jin Do Jun
for the position.
Is this really true?
We need an explanation.
- Explain this.
- Everyone, let's not vote.
To bring order back to this room
so that we can proceed
I hereby exercise my authority
as the chairperson
and ask Mr. Jin Do Jun to provide
an explanation.
Is the content of the text message true?
It is not true.
We don't believe him.
Can he prove it with evidence?
How are we supposed to believe him?
Quieten down, please.
Can you prove it?
Yes.
(The 37th Soonyang Insurance
General Meeting of Shareholders)
Yes.
There is one way Mr. Jin Do Jun
can clear his name.
In the late chairman's room
at the hospital,
there was a camera recording everything,
which the hospital staff
use to monitor their VIP patients.
Why don't we check the footage here?
Good idea. Let's do that.
Find the footage now.
Please quieten down.
Do you agree to this?
Mr. Jin Do Jun.
That will be
impossible.
"Impossible?" What do you mean?
The footage is gone.
Mr. Jin Do Jun here ordered me
to get rid of it.
Then I can do what I want with it, right?
Please delete the footage.
Something bad must've happened
in the room that day.
Otherwise, why would he ask me
to delete the footage?
Please be quiet.
It is not true.
Please let me speak.
All right, please quieten down.
Let me clear this up.
This is not a courtroom.
However, the leader's sense
or lack of morality
could make or break
the future of the company.
The late chairman wished
to choose a leader
who could lead the right way.
Take your time
to think about who would be
the best person for the role
before you vote.
All right, then.
Let's begin.
Mr. Chairman is
experiencing symptoms of delirium
at the moment.
So?
You've decided to join hands with me?
I am now too old and tired
to keep on working
as a mere farmer.
Please give me some shares.
I helped Soonyang grow to what it is today.
I wish to own a plot of land
in the company, no matter how small it is.
That painting has surely found its place.
I suppose you liked my gift.
I will now announce the results.
Mr. Lee Hang Jae
has been appointed
CEO of Soonyang Financial Holding Company.
(The 37th Soonyang Insurance
General Meeting of Shareholders)
(9am, July 8, 2002)
Do Jun, have you thought about this?
Would Chairman Jin Yang Cheol
have told me
to delete the security footage?
So after all,
we're the owners
of Soonyang Financial Holding Company.
Goodness.
Congratulations.
We jointly own 30 percent of the shares.
Add the CEO's friendly stakes,
then we're at 37 percent.
Do Jun is no match for us now.
We used Mr. Lee
and labelled him as an immoral buffoon
in front of all the shareholders,
so he'll have to lie low
for the time being.
We now have the voting rights
in all the subsidiaries
under the holding company.
My, this is nice.
Right, as long as one of us
doesn't betray the other.
Young Ki, no one's got our backs now.
We only have each other.
Right?
Congratulations.
Thank you.
About the shares
we discussed the other day
- Right.
- Yes.
(Report on
Director Lee Hang Jae's Embezzlement)
My grandfather thought
it was just a borrowed-name account
in your name.
But I suppose you thought
the account was yours.
I understand you get crumbs on your hands
when handling bread.
Just resign.
I'll consider it your severance package.
Or would you rather be on the news
as an embezzler?
Was this your plan from the get-go,
from the moment
you offered me the CEO position?
You just needed a knife
to get rid of Do Jun?
The family fighting
during Grandfather's funeral
wouldn't be a pretty sight.
(Managing Director Lee Hang Jae)
My whole life
I was completely dedicated to Soonyang.
I joined the company way before
you were even born.
Your grandfather and I grew Soonyang
into what it is today.
So why
Why should I be treated like this?
Just why?
I apologize.
I guess you feel deeply wronged.
Are you that desperate to be treated
like an owner?
Then you should be born again.
(Candidate Jin Do Jun)
Grandfather truly is an interesting man.
He said he wanted you to be the CEO
of the holding company.
So what's with the will, then?
I thought long and hard.
If he was just joking, that's mean.
And if it's a prank, that's cruel.
After long, careful consideration,
I decided to step in
as his eldest grandson.
I wanted to show you
in front of the shareholders
how Grandfather's will
should be interpreted.
Now, you're no match for us in this war.
You cannot exercise
any management or voting rights.
Most importantly,
you can no longer say
that you're Chairman Jin Yang Cheol's
favourite grandson.
There is only one thing you can do now.
Hand over all your shares
in the holding company.
I'll pay a handsome price.
Grandfather wrote in his will
that you should
live a life that has nothing
to do with Soonyang.
How about you honour his last wishes?
As a dutiful grandson should.
You seem quite confident.
I've been racking my brain
but still can't figure out
what Grandfather really meant
by what he wrote in his will.
Oh, this one thing I know.
I know what kind of choice
Grandfather would make in this situation.
My dear fellow members
of the National Assembly.
Vote against the bill
to ease the separation
of industrial and financial capital.
(Mayor Choi Chang Je's Announcement
for Presidential Candidacy)
Put a stop to Soonyang's plan
to establish
a financial holding company.
This bill was devised to justify
Soonyang's succession plans
that seek to avoid
the legal responsibilities
that come with it.
The conglomerates are tryin
to push the bill through
in order to avoid
the astronomical inheritance taxes.
We need systems and rules in place
to keep the conglomerates in check
in order to alleviate
economic polarization
so that we can build a world
where the economically weak
can coexist with them.
(I will make economic democracy come true.)
I, Choi Chang Je,
promise you that
I will open the threshold
through economic democratization!
Earlier today, Mayor Choi Chang Je
held a press conference,
where he stated he was against the bill
to ease the separation
of industrial and financial capital
as it'd create legal loopholes
for Soonyang
prior to announcing
he was running for President.
He stated that the late chairman,
Jin Yang Cheol,
pushed for the establishment
of the financial holding company
to avoid having to pay astronomical
inheritance taxes.
Some suspect that the company
might have taken
expedient measures to establish
its financial holding company.
There are growing suspicions
surrounding
potential corrupt practices
within Soonyang.
The National Assembly has voted
against the bill
to ease the separation
of industrial and financial capital,
so the establishment
of Soonyang Financial Holding Company
fell through.
If our plans
for the holding company fall through
What should we take care of first?
We could've avoided
at least a billion dollars
in inheritance taxes by using the shares.
As soon as the market opens tomorrow,
all the stocks connected
to the holding company will plummet.
Soonyang Insurance will drop
to below 70 dollars per share.
The moment they vote against the bill,
we'll lose four billion dollars in cash.
Darn it! They say you should never trust
your brother-in-law.
Why is Chang Je suddenly out to get us?
Shouldn't you know him better by now?
Do you really think
that Chang Je came up with this plan?
You all think that?
(Approval Rating Analysis)
Hey, nephew. People now call me
the icon of economic democratization.
They say, with just a few words,
I managed to persuade them
to vote against the bill
that was supposed to pass.
Anyway, how did you come up
with an idea like this?
You used people's anger
toward Chairman Jin Yang Cheol
as an impetus
to unite public opinion.
People do like heroes,
but they get a real kick out
of watching a hero fall.
That's right.
But no one would ever imagine
that the person who made the hero fall
was none other than his favourite grandson.
Right?
Oh, the party leader is here.
I'll talk to you later.
Next news.
The news
that Soonyang Financial Holding Company,
Chairman Jin Yang Cheol's long-cherished
ambition,
was actually a part of the company's plan
to avoid inheritance taxes
is quickly making the countless mourners
across the country
turn away.
No one can deny
that the late chairman, Jin Yang Cheol,
was a successful business leader.
However, we also cannot deny
that he tried
to influence politicians
until his final moments
to illegally transfer his assets
and take expedient measures
to avoid inheritance taxes.
(Soonyang Group)
(Lee Hang Jae)
(Hangang Bank)
Lawyer Park.
I want to change my will.
It's all because of Do Jun.
He's such a brat.
That rascal. I can't stand him.
That's why I want to change my will.
Why does Do Jun bother you so much, sir?
Do you know why that punk
is trying so hard to save Soonyang Motors?
He knows his grandfather is dying,
so he feels bad for me.
That's why he's peeing on his frozen foot.
That little brat.
Don't try to change my mind.
That punk is not getting
a single penny from me.
Sir, Do Jun cares for you
as your grandson
You fool!
It's not like bullets care
about stuff like that
when you're fighting a war!
The two things that a fighter
has no use for
are his appendix and compassion. Sympathy!
You cannot afford to drag
such useless emotions to a war.
It'll only weigh you down.
But if you leave nothing for Do Jun
as this will states,
the succession plans
will face obstacles, sir.
I will push him to the edge of a cliff.
That brat
He'll do anything to survive.
I want him to see how
he can be when he's hit rock bottom.
I know
he
wouldn't hesitate to sell me
if he could buy Soonyang.
If he tramples all over me to go forward,
there will be nothing he can't do.
Only then
can he protect Soonyang.
Sir, it's ready.
This video can serve as your legal will.
- Okay.
- Shall we begin, then?
Sir.
Just relax and say what you'd like
to tell Do Jun.
Do Jun?
Who is
Do Jun, Chairman Jin?
Do Jun?
He's my grandson.
The one who takes after me the most.
My grandson.
It's Chairman Jin's legacy
he left for you, Do Jun.
It's this one.
(Hangang Bank)
Chairman Jin made sure
I handed it over to you
once you understood
the meaning of his will.
Soonyang Micro.
There was a document
that wasn't on the list.
It was an old document
that had passed the preservation year.
So at first, I thought of discarding it.
But there was a record
that a fairly large amount of money
had been stored for a long time.
Soonyang Micro is a dummy company
that only exists on paper.
Someone is siphoning
Soonyang's money overseas
through this paper company, sir.
Go retrieve Soonyang's assets
that have been siphoned off overseas.
That is your first mission
as the senior finance manager.
Are you sure?
Is this truly the legacy Grandfather
had left for me?
Chairman Jin had worked hard preparing it
for quite a long time.
To give it to the successor over Soonyang.
Now, no one in Soonyang is aware
of that money's existence.
And, of course,
the money can't get tracked.
It's a perfect slush fund
that can't get imposed by gift
or inheritance tax.
Chairman Jin had made sure
I understood multiple times.
To hand you that
only when you have attained the lesson
behind his will.
But why did he leave it to me?
If it were such a perfect slush fund,
nobody would have found it
if you had kept it, Mr. Lee.
Was it your last loyalty to Grandfather,
or something like that?
If I were to tell you
that was the case after so long,
would you believe me?
Being born a servant was not my choice.
But I could choose the owner to serve.
Vice-Chairman Jin Young Ki or Jin Dong Ki.
I can't hand over Soonyang to them.
Aren't we on the same page, Do Jun?
He has been elected as the 16th
presidential candidate of our party.
- Choi Chang Je!
- Choi Chang Je!
Are you happy?
Mayor Choi Chang Je,
the icon of economic democratization.
I only found out today that
Korea still had a sense of justice.
I glamorized and made you,
a self-supporting student
from the countryside, the mayor of Seoul.
So how could you betray your wife's family?
Such a man shouldn't become the president.
That shrewd Do Jun
didn't like what he had.
So he gathered everyone
and turned everything over.
He egged you on
to bring the holding company to naught
and repeal the separation
of industrial and financial capital.
No. It was me.
Bringing the financial holding company
to naught was my idea
from beginning to end.
A tycoon should never own a bank.
That's the political conviction
of Choi Chang Je,
the tycoon sharpshooter.
Let's hear about your political conviction.
So who will become the president?
For goodness' sake.
You're really something. You really are.
Is that something to ask me
right at this moment?
Yes. Right at this moment,
I must tell my brothers, who might end up
paying one billion dollars
as inheritance tax because of you,
that I, Jin Hwa Young,
am still a useful card
so that your second political life
can begin.
Stop it.
So tell me.
Who will win the presidential election?
Who must we deliver the money to?
The one in favour
has already been decided, no?
Who's the one in favour? Tell me.
This is the men's room!
Who is it?
Are you sure he's in favour?
The ruling party candidate
is causing a sensation right now.
Come on. It's a meager sensation.
Who can go up against us
by catching a mere piggy bank?
Daeyoung Group
sent off two dump trunks of bills
a couple of days ago.
This country is still a long way off.
That candidate in favour.
Isn't he known to be upright?
The more reason he'll love money
that's new and crisp.
Let's go with the candidate in favour
before it's too late.
Do we not need insurance
for the other candidate?
Let's give them
a small token of our sincerity.
If Grandfather had been alive,
he would've fully supported one candidate.
Young Ki.
We're in the same boat now, okay?
There won't be a need
to turn back.
You and I are of the same mind, after all.
Gosh, really. Our father must be proud.
Proud of the close bond
the three of us have.
Geez, Hwa Young.
I thought the media would die down
if Uncle lost the candidate election.
But he's still
at the center of the attention.
A tycoon should not own a bank.
Forty-one percent
of the general public agrees.
Seventy-one percent
of economics professors agree.
I'm going to make a constitutional appeal.
I so will, period.
How come? Isn't it a chance for us?
The holding company establishment
went to pieces.
Joint shares and voting rights
with Uncle Young Ki will mean nothing.
We need to find a way to survive.
So what? Do you have one in mind?
Don't worry, Father.
Right now, there's only one way
to become Soonyang Group's head.
It's to have the shares
of Soonyang affiliates
and become the largest shareholder
of Soonyang Corporation.
Uncle Dong Ki doesn't even come close
to your Soonyang Corporation shares.
Dong Ki isn't someone
who will easily give up
the head position to me.
By now, I bet he's figuring out
the numbers like crazy.
Say that again. Do what?
Let's separate financial affiliates
from Soonyang Group
and make them independent.
We can use public opinion as the pretext.
Rather than the hopeless
Soonyang Group head,
doesn't the chairman
of a financial group
sound good?
Gosh. Well, I
For Soonyang to become a national company,
I'll sacrifice myself.
What brings you here so early, Mr. Oh?
Is something going on?
Your face is telling me
you haven't heard of the news.
What news?
The board of directors
of Soonyang Investment
dismissed me from the CEO position.
It's not only Soonyang Investment.
It includes Soonyang Fire Insurance
and Soonyang Asset Management.
The board of directors rose up
and replaced all the CEOs.
I know.
Both the board of directors
of Soonyang Investment
and Soonyang Fire Insurance
are former CEOs or the owners' families.
They're under
Vice-Chairman Jin Dong Ki's influence.
Yes.
That means Vice-Chairman Jin Dong Ki
has started to move independently.
Oh, let me get you some coffee.
Please wait.
Everyone!
Please become wealthy!
Promise!
Daeyoung thinks about your success.
Daeyoung Card.
Mr. Oh. It's time we sell it.
Soonyang Card.
(Prosecutor Seo Min Yeong)
You're being transferred, Prosecutor Seo.
Maybe you bit too hard into Soonyang
until now.
(Supreme Prosecutor's
Office Central Investigation Division)
Thanks to you,
I get to work here.
Are you that pleased?
I'm glad.
I was worried I might have imposed on you.
You weren't too happy about it, were you?
But it's a promotion.
Is it?
I thought it was a demotion.
A demotion? No way.
This is the Prosecutor's Office's flower,
Central Investigation Division.
It has great power.
We won't know
until the presidential election is over.
But I heard the next government
would abolish
the Central Investigation Division.
That rumour has been going on
since the civilian government.
This time, it's not just a rumour.
I got transferred to this division.
If the Central Investigation Division
were going to keep striving,
I would not be here.
I'm going home first. You should too.
It'll all be over once I'm appointed CEO.
I won't let you down anymore.
You're wrong.
You'll become even more spiteful.
Because you'd want to keep what you have.
Hey. If I want to go independent
as Soonyang Financial Group,
there's an urgent business
we need to settle.
Is it liquidating
Chairman Jin Young Ki's shares
in the financial affiliates?
You are half right and half wrong.
Can I buy Young Ki's shares
with the money I have right now?
No, it's impossible.
I need a cash cow
that will earn me money
until the separation is complete.
So, is the cash cow slash golden goose
you're thinking of inside Soonyang Group?
Soonyang Card.
Nothing beats a card company in cash flows.
So I'm going to buy Soonyang Card first.
Do you think Do Jun will sell it?
If it's a cash cow even you have eyes on,
I doubt Do Jun will put it out for sale.
I think he'll sell it.
You'll sell it?
You'll sell Sooyang Card to me?
Yes.
It hasn't been that long
since you took over Soonyang Card.
Thanks to Cheongwadae
lifting all regulations
to improve the domestic market
before the presidential election,
the growth of card companies
has been steep.
But you're going to hand it over to me?
Why?
You're going to buy it at a high price,
aren't you?
Honestly, even the holding company
establishment went down the drain.
So I don't think you,
who's quick with numbers
and has a great sense of reality,
will waste time clinging
to becoming the head of Soonyang Group.
If I were in your shoes, Uncle Dong Ki,
I would go independent
from Soonyang Group
and split off into a financial group.
To do so, I thought you would need
Soonyang Card
that could bring in cash at any time,
even if you had to liquidate your share.
You.
Couldn't you, Do Jun, separate
Soonyang Financial Group and manage it?
You already have Soonyang Card,
the cash cow.
Me,
who got branded
an evil guy blinded by legacy
at the shareholders' meeting?
Will Soonyang Group's board of directors,
united with loyalties for Grandfather,
choose me as the head
and CEO of Soonyang Group?
I don't think so.
You were the punk
who had cut off
the holding company establishment
your grandfather had worked so hard on.
Even so,
you're giving it up just like that?
Because I threw away my dream
of succeeding Soonyang Group.
I'm going to return to my original place.
As Miracle's investment specialist,
Jin Do Jun.
So what's most important to me right now
isn't Soonyang but money, Uncle Dong Ki.
And as you already know,
the more money, the better.
He's probably going to ask
for more than 800 million dollars
for selling off Soonyang Card.
What do you think, Mr. Baek?
Should I go for it or not?
More than that, Vice-Chairman Jin.
In 2003, the Year of the Black Sheep,
Vice-Chairman Jin Young Ki's
new year's fortune will change.
So what?
Vice-Chairman Jin Young Ki
has a fate eulmokilju.
He has been in the shade of a large tree,
unable to make his way.
But starting
in the Year of the Black Sheep,
water will seep into the thirsty tree,
which will bring him great luck.
What's this all about, Mr. Baek?
Hold on.
Out of all the Year of the Black Sheep,
the yin and yang
of the Five-elements will attract
to each other the most this year.
And in all probability,
there might be a storm
like the IMF crisis next year.
Let's be prepared.
What about my fortune?
Should I buy Soonyang Card?
Does it say I should?
Father.
Your fortune next year
is mugyejihwa. It's full of fire.
It meets metal and blazes.
It looks like you're in luck
with the finance industry.
What are you two doing?
How can you decide to buy out
Soonyang Card like this?
You need the opinions of experts.
Mr. Baek is an expert.
He's an analyst
who was formerly an accountant.
Ye Jun, you said
that Do Jun won't sell Soonyang Card.
But look. Everything is unfolding
according to his words.
Eight hundred million dollars
is too much money to leave up to luck.
I know how good Mr. Baek is
because we've worked together all along.
You're admitting that
you've been running the company like this
to this day.
- Does the Internal Inspection know?
- Jin Ye Jun!
You punk. Get out.
You're the only one who doesn't qualify
to be here now.
Vice-Chairman Jin, do you remember?
When the US stock market crashed
after the September 11 attack,
if you went with my advice,
you wouldn't have
lost Soonyang Investment
to Miracle Investment.
Make a call.
I'm buying Soonyang Card.
Do you really think Soonyang Card
is only worth 800 million dollars?
Okay, then.
Let's negotiate the details
when we meet next time.
Yes, give me a call.
You're selling Soonyang Card
to whom?
Is it Uncle Dong Ki?
He can't answer, which means I'm right,
Father.
Hey.
What brings you here today?
He'd like to go with you
on his way to work.
I hear Do Jun will sell Soonyang Card.
I heard that
you stepped in as the new owner.
What are you saying?
Who said that? Do Jun?
Do you still believe what Do Jun says?
It's fine if it isn't you.
I thought a go-getter like you
was trying to break away
as a financial group,
so I had to hurry over from the morning.
This is unsettling.
I should use this chance
to purchase Soonyang Card.
You're going to buy Soonyang Card?
That way, there would be zero chance
for the affiliation to break away.
I also don't want to be mistaken about you
over a rumour,
which will lead me down the evil path.
Nothing good can come from that between us.
Dong Ki, don't forget.
It's only meaningful when we are united.
Both Soonyang and us brothers.
Hey, Jin Do Jun!
What do you want?
Are you trying to put Young Ki
against me over Soonyang Card?
I wouldn't.
I was taught to always stop fights,
but strike a bargain.
What?
Thanks to that, Uncle Dong Ki,
you ran over here at this hour.
In that case, why don't we start
the proper negotiation?
Shall we?
You offered 800 million dollars
for Soonyang Card,
so let's start the bargain
from twice that price.
Twice?
I want 1.6 billion dollars.
That's the price for Soonyang Card
offered by Jeongsimjae.
If you need more time to think
Can I pay half and half?
I'll transfer 800 million today,
and the rest next time.
Okay, sure.
As long as the collateral is solid.
Are you demanding the shares
of the financial affiliations?
Hey, you punk!
I'll take the collateral
as Soonyang Corporation's shares.
Two percent of your share.
I don't care for the financial group.
Don't worry about it.
Then why?
Among all
of your moveable and fixed assets,
isn't that the most valuable as collateral?
The shares of the Corporation.
I'll get it ready and call you.
I do have one more condition.
Good grief, what?
I need some untraceable money,
apart from the sale price
for Soonyang Card.
A slush fund?
It truly is the high season.
Even an investment company
like Miracle is
preparing political funds
for the presidential election?
According to Mr. Oh Se Hyeon, in the US,
the Wall Street is the funding
behind the presidential election.
That 45 percent of political funds
come from the Wall Street.
It means the main industry has changed.
From manufacturing to finances.
Do you know
to whom and how you should
transfer the money
to make sure there's no trouble later?
Trouble?
You need to bribe them
without a delivery mistake
and not letting anyone else know.
Well, I guess your father
doesn't have what it takes
to teach you something like that.
And Mr. Oh may know
a lot about the Wall Street,
but he's probably a layman
when it comes to Yeouido.
This is a man we've worked
with since your grandfather's days.
Call him.
(Kang Sin Woo)
I see.
(Apple)
He made a slush fund
by using dormant accounts
of Soonyang Fire Insurance
and Soonyang Investment.
I see. Vice-Chairman Jin Dong Ki
is nothing like how he looks.
I thought he was the timid, nerdy type.
But he's a man with great spirit.
He borrowed the dormant accounts
of his clients to do this deed?
And it was during the IMF crisis,
while everyone was wailing.
Goodness, so bold.
He's not afraid of anything.
He probably couldn't imagine
that of all people,
CEO Oh Se Hyeon of Miracle
became the CEO of Soonyang Investment
and find his biggest weakness.
His daughter is something too.
She's in a different league
compared to other rich kids.
You said she passionately volunteers
in third-world countries, right?
She picks out only the countries
where she can evade taxes.
Thanks to her,
we made ten million dollars
in slush fund without trouble.
The fruit of someone else's work
is always the most delicious.
I find this even more delicious.
What is this?
Come on.
- Roh Moo Hyun!
- Roh Moo Hyun!
- Roh Moo Hyun!
- Roh Moo Hyun!
Man.
I was easily persuaded
by Dong Ki once again.
Good grief.
What now? Go with the flow
before it's too late?
Two brothers should get on the same boat?
How much money did I load on that boat?
You should be helping me
in some way as my older brother.
- What now?
- There's no need to turn back?
We should unite as brothers?
Okay, sure. Why don't you pray
that we'll both jump in the water and die?
You said the candidate
in favour was decided.
Didn't you say the law of an election is
that the general trend
cannot be overturned?
I did. But don't you know?
Everything comes with an exception.
Should've heard me out to the end.
What did you say?
The law
of the Korean president elections is
that the big trend cannot be overturned.
However,
that is only until a sharp gust blows.
The opposition party
had the general popularity,
but the ruling party's candidate
turned out to be a gust.
So go tell your brothers that
we should lie low
for a while as the wind blows.
Go tell them yourself.
They lost 30 million dollars at your word!
Goodness, look who this is.
Yes, congratulations, Mr. President.
Yes, right. I should have called first.
Yes.
Yes. Pardon?
Me?
Yes, I'll do my best if you leave me to it.
Yes, I understand. Thank you.
Yes. Goodbye.
What? He wants
to appoint me as the Minister of Justice.
Did he call the right man?
You two are affiliated
with opposite parties.
I doubt you two speak the same language.
That's why.
He said I'm the face of unification
of the two parties.
How so?
Credit card delinquency rate
continues to rise up,
and it recorded
an all-time high in just two years.
This is the breakdown
of Lee's credit card usage.
He maxed out all four credit cards
in cash advances,
then paid one card off with another,
and was banned from new loans.
Your credit card is two months overdue.
Until last year, credit defaulters rose
by 60,000 to 70,000 people a month.
But this year,
this increased by 100,000 people a month,
reaching a total of three million
at the end of last month.
You encouraged me
to buy Soonyang Card.
What was that about metal and whatnot?
It's set ablaze?
I'm in luck with the financial industry?
What is this? What now?
Nothing you say is right.
Actually, the energy of fire
was a bit too strong,
which melts the metal disappear.
Hey, this guy.
Is that what you should say now?
Wait.
So what is this?
Will Soonyang Card go bankrupt?
Contact the government
for another support. Now.
Financial Supervisory Service
is giving us pressure
- that we help ourselves first.
- Help ourselves?
You should liquidate the shares
of other affiliations first
You!
Then how will I be separated
as a financial group?
I can only think of one way
out of this mess.
(All cash advance service
for all Soonyang Card is now suspended.)
You can't suddenly stop
the cash advance service!
You aren't allowed to do this
without our agreement!
- He's right!
- I need the money now!
After the halt on cash advance service,
the stock price
for all affiliations have plummeted.
He can't even take control
of some credit card company.
How can he want
to separate as a financial group?
Is Vice-Chairman Jin Dong Ki in his office?
You finally showed your face, my brother.
You never bothered to call
when I desperately looked for you
to pay back the credit card bond.
But you ran over at once
once the stock prices dropped.
How much do you need
to bring back the cash advance service?
I need 400 million dollars now.
You're about to go bankrupt
because you don't have 400 million?
Didn't you dream
of creating a financial group?
How can you let this go bankrupt
over just 400 million dollars?
Once Soonyang Card goes bankrupt,
it'll put you in worse trouble.
Two percent of my shares
for Soonyang Corporation is
What about those shares?
When I bought Soonyang Card,
I gave it to Miracle as the collateral.
I'm saying two percent
of Soonyang Corporation
will end up in Do Jun's hands.
Since I'm the elder of this family,
I thought I should figure this out.
My brother is about to go bankrupt
with Soonyang Card any day now,
but my nephew,
you still need 800 million dollars
from selling Soonyang Card?
Don't worry. I'll buy out that bond.
You will?
The government and the media
are all over me saying
I should step on on the group level
and restore the card company.
How should I take responsibility
for those dead-end people
who didn't know their worth
and maxed out their cards,
paying off one with another?
We broke the champagne
a little too early
and went through the IMF crisis,
yet people still are this foolish.
The entire country is in a moral hazard.
I can't do that, Uncle Young Ki.
I cannot give you the shares
for Soonyang Corporation.
Does this mean you still haven't given up
on Soonyang?
I took this money
in return for giving up Soonyang.
We need to do the math right.
I need 800 million dollars
for selling Soonyang Card,
but what you want from me is
Soonyang Corporation's shares
I took as collateral, right?
That's what you need
to become the chairman.
I want twice as much, 1.6 billion dollars.
What? 1.6 billion dollars?
You'll be the next chairman
and Chairman Jin Yang Cheol's successor.
You can't put a price on such a position.
(Signed by Jin Do Jun, Jin Young Ki)
I think 1.6 billion dollars
would have helped
Soonyang Card get back on their feet.
But you used this money
to buy Soonyang Group's chairman position.
Right.
Did you say the entire country is
in a moral hazard?
I think so too, Uncle Young Ki.
(Soonyang Card)
(You're killing small business owners!)
(Give me my money, you jerks.)
(I need to put out my life
to pay back my credit card bill.)
(You issued it as you like,
but you won't take responsibility.)
(I'm neck-deep in debt,
and you're responsible.)
(Do you need money? Call immediately.)
(Do you need money? Call immediately.)
(Do you need money? Call immediately.)
Goodness.
(Contacts: Dad)
The person you have reached is unavailable.
Please leave
(Hospital Statement)
Hey, Dae Kyun. Yes, it's me, Hyeon Woo.
Have you been well?
Well, by any chance,
I was wondering if I can borrow some money.
Hey, Tae Hyun.
Can you let me borrow just 5,000 dollars?
Can you let me borrow some money?
I'm calling
for the livelihood loan program.
Can a contract worker
like me take out a loan?
Is that so?
No, I see.
Yes, have a good night.
Yes, goodbye.
What happened, Father?
Why won't you pick up your phone?
Where have you been all along?
You left the sick kid
at the hospital alone.
Let's talk at home.
Hyeon Min will be discharged tomorrow.
What about the hospital bill?
How can he be discharged?
We don't have any money.
I took care of everything.
You don't have to worry.
(Do you need money? Call immediately.)
Father.
We need to talk.
(Seoul Hospital)
Father, by any chance,
did you take out a private loan?
I'll pay back everything.
You don't have to mind it.
You're going to pay it back?
You're a credit delinquent.
You're unemployed.
How are you going to do that?
What's your plan?
Then what else could I do as a father?
I needed to do something.
Just don't do anything!
Father.
Will you just stay still?
Everyone else is a decent parent,
so you don't need to be one!
Dad, please.
All you need to do
is breathe and stay alive.
Help me live, okay?
That night, my poverty was
a jerk.
Yes, I'm the chauffeur.
Yes, I'm almost there.
May I ask once again for the location?
It's bitter.
Excuse me.
One more drink, please.
Did anyone call for chauffeur service?
- Over here.
- Hello.
Mr. Yoon?
Goodness, it is you.
Do you work as a chauffeur?
You have two jobs?
- Hello.
- Can you do your day job right?
You need good performance
to sign with us again.
I dread how kids these days are
only concerned about money.
Why? It's nice to be rich.
Mr. Yoon, I hope you get rich.
Please enjoy.
Hey
Hey. Hey!
Hey, what's wrong?
- What's wrong?
- Hey, you need to stop the car.
- Has he gone insane?
- Stop the car now!
- Hey, let's go.
- Hey, get out of the car.
Get out. Get out of here.
- Hey, darn you.
- Stop it.
Get out!
What kind of a psycho are you?
Hey, you.
- Man, I'm going to kill you.
- Ju Young, stop.
- Man, I'll get you.
- Ju Young, stop.
- Let's go.
- Good grief.
Call another chauffeur.
Man, he's making me mad.
I inherited wealth.
Poverty was passed down to you.
We live
in the same time,
under the same sky,
but in different worlds.
We're worlds apart,
like the previous life and this life,
in a faraway orbit.
(Reborn Rich)
Why are you so proud
of your infamous loan shark family
of Myeong-dong?
We used that dirty money
to buy out everything
to turn my husband into the chairman.
The group will be succeeded
to the eldest son once again.
My father, me, and my son.
As soon as we receive
two percent of the Corporation,
we'll announce the new chairman
of Soonyang Group, Chairman Jin.
I'm the biggest shareholder
of Soonyang Corporation.
Call her.
There's someone you want to meet
on a day like this, right?
You're under emergency arrest
for the illegal handover
of political funds.
We meet again like this,
as a prosecutor and a suspect.
