Sea of the Woman (그 여자의 바다)

The development project you'll invest in.

I'd like to invest as well.

It's a very big project, Mr. Jung.

They demand a huge sum.

Oh, do they?

It's such a large-scale project.

They will develop as much as 16,338 acres.

I see.

Chairman, can you still see if I can invest as well?

Mr. Jung.

I'm actually hoping to expand my factory...

and open an office abroad.

I was unable to do so until now due to the lack of funds.

So you want to make a profit from this investment...

and put that towards expanding your company.

Yes, that's right.

But the government has already secured all the necessary funding.

Sir, is there really nothing you can do?

The only land currently available is the 820 acres I said I'd buy.

Would you like to buy it instead?

820 acres?

Doesn't that mean you won't be able to invest?

You helped me buy Chungil at a great price,

and gave me a lot of valuable advice along the way.

Even so, I don't think I should take such a great opportunity from you.

Actually, too much of my funds is tied up in Japan,

and I was somewhat concerned I might not have enough.

If you want to invest that much, you should take it from me.

Are you really sure I can invest instead of you?

I am, but if you make a fortune,

I expect to be treated to a very nice meal.

Of course, sir.

Thank you so much. I will repay you for your generosity.

Did you talk to Chairman Kang?

Yes. I will buy 820 acres in Gangnam that Chairman Kang...

was going to buy.

820 acres?

Yes.

You don't have enough money...

to buy that much land.

Find someone who can give me a loan.

Will you get a private loan?

Of course I will. Once the development plan is announced,

I'll get back dozens of times more than what I invested.

Only a few moneylenders in Korea...

have that much money.

That's why I need you to find someone. There's no time.

Father, I don't think you should...

borrow that much from a private loan.

Why don't you invest only as much as you can right now?

It's such a big project that 820 acres is the smallest lot.

Why should I invest less...

when the profit is guaranteed?

Stop worrying and find a rich moneylender.

Okay, Father.

Three million dollars?

Yes. Find us someone who can lend us that much.

Sure. But why do you need that much money?

You don't need to know that. Just find us someone trustworthy.

Don't let the word get out.

Of course. Don't worry.

So, how is he doing?

Are you watching him?

Yes. I was at the hospital two days ago.

Good. Did you notice anything strange?

Everyone there thinks he is crazy.

No one believes what he says.

Watch him and make sure there are no problems.

I don't like the fact that we're keeping this from Mr. Jung.

Is it okay to hide him without Mr. Jung knowing?

I'm in charge here, so don't worry.

The thing is, I think someone's following me.

I'm worried, that's all.

What do you mean you're being followed?

I'm not sure. I just have this ominous feeling.

Do you know of someone who'd want to follow you?

No, not really.

You can never be too safe.

Take extra care to prevent any possible problems.

If you notice anything is off, tell me right away.

I will.

This tea from China really smells lovely.

- Sook Hee. - What?

Did you use that teapot and cup just now?

Is your wrist okay now?

Of course not. It takes time to heal.

It still aches so much from time to time.

Then how did you pick up the cup?

What? I used the hand that doesn't hurt, of course.

I saw you drink from the cup with your right hand.

Are you trying to set me up?

When did I use my right hand?

My right wrist hurt so much that...

I used my left hand.

Like this.

I saw her use her right hand like nothing was wrong at all.

Did she lie about hurting her wrist?

Is that how you want to play?

Come in.

Did you find a moneylender?

Yes. I arranged a meeting with a Mr. Hwang.

Did you? Who is this Mr. Hwang?

He's well-known in the Myeongdong area as a big moneylender.

He has money in most of the large businesses and projects.

He also has connections in Japan and made a fortune...

by exchanging Yakuza bonds into US dollars.

That's very impressive.

It is. He doesn't show himself often...

and doesn't meet many people, so this was hard to set up.

Well done.

Mr. Hwang is well-known for being very vicious.

No one knows what he'll do if you don't pay him back.

Don't worry about that.

I can pay him back with interest in a month.

I heard you are a hard man to meet.

Thank you for sparing me your time.

You just got lucky.

So, how much do you need?

Three million dollars.

That is not a small amount.

What do you need that much for?

I'm going to invest in a government-run project.

A government project?

Yes. They're going to develop Gangnam,

and it's all very hush-hush.

I heard about that.

Anyone who is able to invest is guaranteed a windfall.

You scored a great opportunity.

Do you have collateral?

Yes. My house, factory,

and some land in Incheon.

Some land?

Is that it?

Yes.

This doesn't look too good.

It would be too risky for me to lend you...

three million with so little as collateral.

That's why I need your help.

You heard about the Gangnam development project,

so you know that my profit is guaranteed.

The announcement will be made in a month.

I'll be able to pay back the three million then,

just by selling a tenth of the land.

Mr. Jung, I'm sure you know what kind of businessman I am.

Yes, I heard.

You will be in very dire straights...

if you fail to pay me back.

That will never happen. Don't you worry.

I trust money, not people.

You say now that you're sure you can pay me back,

but we'll see if you can later on.

Mr. Hwang.

This is a tough one.

I need some time to think.

I'll get back to you within the day.

Okay. I hope it's with good news.

I'll wait for your call.

How did it go? Did he say he'll give you the loan?

No. It's such a huge amount that he said he wants to think.

No one would agree to lend you three million just like that.

He knew about the development project.

I don't have enough collateral, but the profit's guaranteed,

so I think he's wavering.

He said he'd call me within the day, so let's wait.

Okay.

Brew this and take it.

What is it, Mother?

It's medicine to boost your energy levels.

You brought her food...

and medicine too?

Good food alone isn't enough to...

make a weak person feel better.

Cooking and serving food in the heat must've drained you.

Take this and get better.

I'm fine, Mother. You can have it.

I can't. It's for you.

Dae Bong isn't good enough for you.

Thank you so much for putting up with him.

It can't be easy trying to hide your husband's problems.

Please don't say that.

I heard that when it comes to Chinese medicine,

it's about the effort put into...

making, brewing, and taking it.

I had it made with love for you,

so brew and drink it with care.

Mother, the truth is...

Dal Ja!

Let's do as she says.

Brew and take it with care.

Do you think they're all okay?

Yes, I don't think anything's wrong.

Good.

Dae Bong's mother brought her some medicine.

Did she? When I heard the old woman had...

come over, I was expecting another huge fight.

Why is she suddenly being so nice to Dal Ja?

I actually feel a bit scared.

The truth is,

she doesn't know that Dal Ja is infertile.

She thinks Dae Bong's the one with issues.
