All thanks to you.

- Thank you. - Of course.

ELECTRICAL CONTROL PANEL

2023 BUSINESS NETWORKING EVENT

- What? - What's this?

It's a blackout.

- Hey! Hey! - Turn the lights on!

Turn on the lights!

- Why'd we suddenly lose power? - What's this? What's wrong?

- Hello? - Get the lights!

- The lights are off! - Turn the emergency power on!

- Emergency power! Come on! - Hurry up, please!

You!

You shouldn't have laid hands on my brother.

Don't you dare.

Guess I should thank you.

Becoming No. 50 wasn't all for naught.

- What was that? - What happened?

- Oh, my! - What's this?

- No photos. - One moment.

- Oh, no! - Call an ambulance!

Where were you? I've been looking for you.

I was resting in the powder room.

I'm feeling tired.

Block the exits!

Nobody move until the police arrive!

- There's a murderer among us! - A murderer?

Over there, get him! There's the culprit!

Let's go.

We have to go now.

My wife isn't feeling well.

We'd like to leave if you will excuse us.

We can't let anyone leave until the police arrives.

This is a homicide, sir.

I am Pyo Jaehyun. You need to see my ID?

If the police suspects us, we will cooperate at any time.

Of course, sir. Why don't you go on ahead?

Thank you.

Haesoo can never know the truth.

Don't ever speak of it, and take it to your grave.

Pyo Jaehyun. He knows everything.

Soon, Haesoo will learn the whole truth.

HAESOO

Hey, Haesoo.

EPISODE 9

Clearly, this is the work of a professional.

Suddenly, the lights went out, and someone started to scream.

How did this person kill someone in pitch-darkness, huh?

By the way, where did Candidate Pyo go?

His wife and her security are gone too.

Mr. Pyo's wife wasn't feeling well, so I heard they left early.

We know where to find him, so we can always--

How could you let out the most suspicious man here?

Pardon?

Ms. Hong's security guard is suspicious.

Wherever the bastard appears, murder always occurs.

What are you talking about, Mr. Han?

How would you like a special promotion?

On the condition that you do as I say, yeah?

Why'd you want to leave early? It could complicate things later.

We have nothing to do with her death.

Right?

You look tired. You should shower and go to bed.

I'll check up on Jiu.

Hello?

Why did you do that?

They'll be after you now.

Guess you made it out safely, judging by your tone.

You hurt?

No, I'm fine.

I'm at Hanwool. I'm going to abandon the car here.

Stay there. I'm on my way.

Haesoo.

Why did you want to see me here, all of a sudden?

- This is-- - Where you proposed to me.

I wanted to end things here for some reason.

DIVORCE REGISTRATION CHILD CUSTODY DESIGNATION

I always wondered why your father never approved of me.

Now I know.

Haesoo…

Did you think destroying evidence would make the truth go away?

Am I supposed to understand because you're only protecting your father?

Still, I don't think I can forgive you.

You know more than anyone what life has been like for me.

Just thinking about how you ripped up those papers and took the time

to think about how to lie to me to hide your father's sins…

breaks my heart into pieces.

So this is how it ends for us.

Haesoo-- Haesoo, I'm sorry.

I've moved my things to Pyeongchang.

I'll raise Leo.

Accept it, if you have any conscience left.

I'm going to expose all of your father's sins.

If you try to stop me again like you did today,

you'll never see your son again.

Mr. Park, can you help me?

HANWOOL MENTAL HOSPITAL

Kim Seondeok is dead. Soon, the police will search this place.

You shit!

Take the money, and get out of here.

This is your last chance to cut ties with Hanwool.

Make your choice.

Get arrested by the police and take the fall for Kim's sins.

Or…

start a new life.

Stay under the radar for now, and don't come back to the town house.

Jaehyun knows my real identity and that you're my brother.

Then, let's leave together. I won't go alone.

If you want our life back, we need to right our wrongs,

if not for Jiu's sake.

You know what kind man of Pyo is.

You can't take him down alone. I'll expose the truth that I shot Ko Taesun.

No, I'm taking the fall for that.

I told you it's not your fault.

You really think that's my only sin?

My pathetic life is done for.

Why do you think I killed Kim Seondeok?

I will protect you, no matter what.

Don't ever talk like that again.

Forgive me for adding to your burdens.

I think I owe it to you at this point.

This is my brother.

You had a brother?

We were separated for a long time but recently reunited.

- But now-- - No need to explain.

I'm sure you have your reasons.

Don't worry, Taera.

I'll take good care of your brother, just as you helped me out.

Thank you so much.

What do you think you're doing, barging in here so early?

I heard you said you'd give us your full cooperation. Were we mistaken?

Press is criticizing us for giving preferential treatment to a candidate.

If you aren't here with good reason, I suggest you brace yourselves.

Your wife's security apparently vanished from the crime scene.

So?

We were informed that Mr. Cha was also at the scene of Chairman Song's death,

which we'd like to confirm.

As you know, this is a homicide after all.

Candidate Han must be quite the informant.

I'll get to the point since you know.

Mr. Han wants an all-out investigation on this case.

Mr. Cha disappeared from two crime scenes, and that can't be a coincidence.

I'd like to speak to Ms. Hong about a few things. Is she home?

Uh, well…

What would you like to speak about?

What is your relationship with Mr. Cha?

As you know, he's just security.

Is that all?

- What are you implying? - There's nothing more to it.

Next question, please.

Why did you leave the hall when the event was at its busiest?

I wasn't feeling well, so I went to my car to get some medicine. Is that a problem?

Final question, ma'am.

May we see the clothes you wore to the event?

May we look for it ourselves?

- You have a warrant? - A warrant would be quite damaging to you.

Would you be okay with that, sir?

- Start searching. - Yes, sir.

POLICE

Check below the bed, and search the drawers.

- Look thoroughly. It's a dress. - Yes, sir.

Hey, quick--

- Search every box. - Yes, sir.

That's going to get dirty.

Here you go.

We checked Cha's place. He's already gone.

His phone's switched off too.

I'll have my campaign office send you Cha's résumé and personal information.

You may take the dress, if you need to run tests on it.

Apologies, sir. We were informed Ms. Hong's dress had blood stains on--

You and your superiors better be prepared to take full responsibility for this.

This was an insult to my wife, and I won't tolerate any of it.

Politicians and business leaders of Korea

are reeling from Hanwool-gate.

Evidence of the late director's illegal hospitalization, confinement, and assault

for the past 20 years have surfaced,

including evidence of corruption in Hanwool's operations.

PYO JAEHYUN SUSPECTED OF CORRUPTION

Suspicions are rising over the nature of presidential candidate

Pyo Jaehyun's relationship with the deceased Director Kim.

Yes, it's true.

NO. 7 PYO JAEHYUN

Director Kim Seondeok had offered me a large contribution to my campaign.

Offers were made at the event as well.

But you all know I have the means for my own campaign.

I want to take this opportunity to clarify that I've received nothing from Kim.

If you find any disreputable connection in the slightest between me and her,

I will immediately withdraw my candidacy.

Oh, how terribly frightening.

It must've been the first time you saw someone die.

You okay, Taera Hong?
