EPISODE 3

What does this mean?

I don't want to die, sir.

Please spare me.

Get up.

I want you dead, but you want to live.

We've both laid our cards on the table.

If I was going to spare you if you begged, I wouldn't have started this at all.

I skimmed off some of the slush fund.

What did you say?

Let me live,

and I'll return it and disappear.

Manager Yoo set up--

The National Patriotism Fund?

Yes, Manager Yoo wanted to quit out of guilt

for helping me pocket money, not just for the fund.

How much did you skim off?

Not much.

A little over 39 billion won.

You think 39 billion won is not much?

That's 39 stacks of 1 billion won

and 390 stacks of 100 million won.

You filthy thief, you've got some nerve, and it will just kill you.

Director Seo,

are you serious?

You little...

If I hadn't tried to get rid of you,

you would've taken that big sum without a trace.

The money would've been gone too if I had died.

Shut up. I'm going to bury you alive today!

Are you giving up

on the 39 billion won?

Director Seo, transfer it to the Swiss account.

Right here, right now.

Try anything funny,

and you won't leave this room alive.

Sir, I don't gamble with my life.

Two billion now.

Seven billion once I walk out of here safely.

The rest...

only after my safety is guaranteed.

You really don't trust me?

I don't, sir.

Before you even knew about the money, you tried to kill me to protect the fund.

But you're still alive, aren't you?

I survived, sir.

Cheon Guho,

bring me a bowl of ice water.

And a bottle of wine for Mr. Yeom.

TRANSFER COMPLETED

Sir.

It's transferred.

If you put someone on my tail, the rest of the money is off the table.

Deal with Manager Yoo's body.

Yes, sir.

The soup should stay warm until Huicheol leaves for work.

Just pour it straight in, no need to reheat.

- Got it. - Here.

Get back safe.

I thought I'd die without seeing you.

What do you mean?

What happened?

Hey, did you fall?

Let me see. Are you hurt?

Why did Aunt have to pack you this so late at night?

I asked her to.

You've been skipping breakfast before work lately.

Right.

Did you catch a cold?

YOO FROM ENERGY RESOURCES CO. TOOK HIS LIFE

LAST NIGHT, YOO TOOK HIS OWN LIFE AND WAS FOUND DEAD...

It's me, Dongju.

Look who it is.

I rushed to answer thinking it was a new client.

Let me borrow some money.

You can just come over.

What's with the weird number?

Are you worried that I'm broke?

A lot?

How much are we talking?

What?

Okay.

Just come.

SEE YOU TOMORROW

Director Seo's car hasn't moved.

He must actually have the money on him.

Let's do it.

I might not be able to pay you back.

You said you'd put up your land in Sejong as collateral.

Its value's bound to rise.

But...

will the hack you installed on Yeom's computer really work?

You're the one who made it.

That's why I'm worried.

Big money's on the line.

The National Patriotism Fund is worth over two trillion.

Jeez, Yeom Jangseon.

He must be a true patriot.

By the way,

how did you even think to download the hack from my webpage?

SEOUL INSTRUMENT

1 FILE DOWNLOADED

It turned out that way in my fight to survive.

Let's begin.

Give me a phone.

A phone?

This is disposable.

If you need more, let me know.

- I need one more. - One more?

Okay.

I'll answer it.

NO CALLER ID

Yeom Jangseon speaking.

Sir, I've completed the transfer. Please confirm.

I'll wait.

You wired it?

Yes, I'm checking the deposit.

It's transferred.

The transfer went through smoothly.

Yes, understood, sir.

Wishing you longevity.

I'll contact you after sending the remaining 30 billion.

He's wishing me longevity. That bastard Seo Dongju.

Gosh.

You're here.

Hey, Seonu.

Typical of my mom.

Sir, are you a detective?

I've stayed out of trouble these days.

I can tell.

You're not a cop, right?

Who are you?

Jeez.

Gosh.

What?

Who on earth are you?

Isn't it heavy? Go on.

Okay.

You're going to hurt your back.

- Pass me one. - Move aside.

No, give me...

Mom, do you know him?

Mom, we're running out of eggs.

They came in. Look down there.

Here.

Thank you.

What? Right.

Got it.

You were here recently.

So, you remember.

Because you were with him.

Did you say anything to Seonu earlier?

I didn't say a word.

The chairman thinks

Ji Seonu should take his family name, Cha.

I don't want that.

Does Seonu feel the same?

- Of course-- - I need to hear it from him.

The answer to that question.

Not right now, of course,

but I'll make the opportunity happen.

I came to tell you that.

If you ever need help, feel free to contact me.

That's why the chairman brought me here.

To show me to you, Ms. Ji.

So, what did you and Seonu talk about?

Did you tell him I'm his father?

It would've been too sudden anyway.

Good call.

I think it's too soon for that.

What did you two talk about all day?

We ate together, played some games,

and I told him about my childhood.

That's the way. Get close to him first.

That way, he'll listen to you later.

Sir, everything is ready.

Got a seat for Director Seo?

Of course.

All right, let's go.

Ah.

Since my son-in-law missed the vice-chairman promotion,

I thought a nice meal might help smooth things over.

Did you catch the news about Manager Yoo?

- Yes. - Do you know anything I don't?

No, sir.

I see.

Hmm.

Sir.

I have a favor to ask.

I knew you had more on your mind than just talking about Seonu

when you came all the way to my house.

What is it?

I need some time off.
