Reverse (리버스)

What are you going to do now?

The way Myo Jin found out about us, it's not like you think.

It's not like the memory came back to her naturally over time.

That makes no sense.

She's been digging around,

meeting with all sorts of people. That's how she found out.

I never imagined she'd find out this quickly.

What's important is

she's not going to just let this go.

Then

what am I supposed to do?

Stop her!

But

is that even possible?

Do you think we have the luxury of second-guessing this?

What do you think will happen to us if she pushes this any further?

She cannot be allowed to take one more step.

You don't have a choice. Protecting Myo Jin

means protecting all of us.

You look conflicted.

Why?

Losing your nerve?

- Fine, should I just give up? - Shut it!

So you don't care that the Chairman's dead,

and you're going to take your cut and run? Is that it?

You think I don't know what you're really after?

The jerk who did that to the Chairman...

If the police can't find him, I'll find him myself!

And I already have someone in mind. You scum!

Yes, I know.

Just keep an eye on the situation for a bit longer. Okay.

Okay, I'm calling in that favour. Yes.

It's a relief. He's in the ICU, but it's not life-threatening.

But are you okay?

I told him I was a cop, and he still hit me?

Just wait until he wakes up.

I'll put him right back in this hospital bed.

Anyway, business is business.

Let's see. Did you get a clean copy?

- Here. - Yes. I had it all timed out.

That should've been more than enough time.

Go ahead and check it.

There's nothing much on the phone.

We just need to see the text messages.

You said her name was Hee Soo, right?

Yes, Choi Hee Soo.

We'll find out once we see what the two of them were texting about.

What on earth they were trying so desperately to hide.

And how you're involved in all this.

Choi Hee Soo.

Choi Hee Soo... Yes!

Here she is! Choi Hee Soo!

Okay.

Just as I thought. She was being blackmailed.

But all of these are just messages telling her to do as she's told.

- Usually, they demand money. - Oh, here.

From this point on, Lee Jong Su's name keeps popping up.

Let's see.

Oh, here!

I knew it. That jerk. What, 300,000 dollars?

In one go?

What? They must have had some serious dirt on her.

- There's no other explanation. - Scroll down some more.

This guy keeps threatening her even after he got paid. What's this?

But here, he's sending pictures of some man.

Is this also part of the blackmail?

Wait, this is...

What the... Wait...

But why is this here? Wait...

Gosh, this is...

So that's how it was?

He'll put a lot of care into it.

I may have pressured him a bit, you know, for my daughter's gallery.

Coming from an assemblyman up for his fifth term,

I'm sure he'll do a fine job.

In my experience, the contractors who flock to politicians

are rarely on the level.

What, a "contractor"?

He's a C-level executive in the Korean architecture industry.

I don't know how close you two are,

but is it really okay to be asking for a favour like this?

The construction costs look astronomical too.

Don't you think your father knows what he's doing?

Wait.

What brings you here so suddenly, Representative Jo?

Something urgent came up that I need to discuss with you,

and I heard you were here.

Is that so? Please, have a seat.

So, what did you need to discuss?

It's just as you suspected.

It appears Oh Sang Il did in fact meet with Ryu Jun Ho.

So they did meet in secret. Ryu Jun Ho and that guy.

Now, I can personally let this slide,

but if word of this ever got out,

it could tarnish the reputation of the competition's sponsors.

You're a bit late with this, aren't you?

- Sir? - Yesterday, sponsors discussed

a new internal regulation, as I understand it.

And apparently, it was at Oh Sang Il's strong request.

Finding what that is seems vital, don't you think?

Look, people make mistakes sometimes.

They get ripped off. It happens.

Gosh, why'd he have to get tangled up in a love triangle?

No use crying over spilled milk. Just clean up and don't do it again.

You can't avoid the first arrow,

but they say you should never be hit by the second.

- Don't let this get to you so... - Lee Jong Su...

- Gosh, you startled me. - Why was he tormenting Hee Soo?

What do you mean, why? For the money, of course.

You saw it yourself. He squeezed a fortune out of her in one go.

No.

- It wasn't about the money. - It wasn't?

Hee Soo is the victim here.

If he used the photos for blackmail, it shouldn't have been Hee Soo.

Blackmailing us would make sense if money was his only motive?

You have a point.

Lee Jong Su must have had another reason.

And that's what Hee Soo was afraid of.

It wasn't about my relationship with Jun Ho.

It was another reason, one that scared Hee Soo even more.

Here you go.

Gosh, a hamburger!

It's getting late. Go on inside.

And make sure to save some for your brother.

Mister.

Yes?

Mister, are you rich?

- Rich? - Yes.

Of course I am.

How rich are you?

Enough to buy you one of these every single day.

Goodness!

But Mister, where'd you get all that money?

How do I get rich like you?

Who are you people?

Hello?

Hey.

All right, that's enough.

You're taking it too far. Do you have to be so crude?

Have some common sense, for crying out loud.

I think he gets the picture by now, don't you?

A smart and perceptive man like

our CEO Ryu.

Isn't that right?

CEO Ryu Jun Ho of Mono Architecture.

That hit a nerve, didn't it?

Did you think you could do that behind my back,

and nobody would find out?

The stink is spreading in all directions.

Back off from this competition.

Consider this a warning.

If I hear your name come up again,

then

that handsome face we left untouched today...

There won't be anything left of it.

All right, let's go.

Hey, long time no see.

Man, you can pack it away. Two servings gone in a flash.

But is it really that important where Detective Gang is?

Of course not. What's he going to do on his own?

- Then why... - Because I owe you.

And now, there's something you need to tell me.

- Sir? - What's up with Detective Gang?

He didn't just drop the villa case for no reason.

I wouldn't know.

Come on.

Wasn't it Detective Gang who trained you

when you first started here?

I...

practically raised Detective Gang.

A month before Detective Gang quit,

you two got hammered together, right?

What did you two talk about?

If I say something I shouldn't and it blows up...

Hey. Look at me.

It's because I need your help.

We need to get Detective Gang back, don't we?

Detective Gang didn't just quit.

When we were drinking, he kept saying he trusted no one.

He said he found something important but couldn't act on it himself yet.

- What was it? - I honestly don't know.

He'd rather take it to his grave than reveal it half-cocked.

It's empty.

Have you been watching me?

You looked like you had a lot on your mind.

And I had some things to think about too.

During field day in elementary school,

there was this event called the "find-a-person" race.

I thought it was so much fun.

I was always a really confident runner, you see.

But then it was my turn,

I drew a slip of paper, and on it,

it said, "Mom."

I guess the person who wrote it couldn't have known

that of all people,

a kid without a mom would be the one to draw it.

At that moment,

I think that's when it hit me.

That rules

aren't made for the have-nots.
