Empire of Gold (황금의 제국 / The Golden Empire / Hwanggeum eui Jegook)

I killed a person.

I...

I killed someone.

What do you plan on doing?

If Jang Tae Joo doesn't show up at the church

they're asking for your shares as collateral

for the approval of hot money at six today.

If you refuse, in the worst case, the Group could collapse.

What would be worse than collapsing is

having Sung Jin Group fall into the hands of Han Jung Hee.

We'll need to prevent the worst from happening, Director Park.

Tae Joo.

It's been a while...

since I've seen you like this, my Tae Joo.

When you came to get money for your father's hospital bill seven years ago

you looked like this.

Your face.

Since then, my Tae Joo has smiled a lot.

I'm won't visit you, Seol Hee.

I'm won't even think about you, Seol Hee.

Five years, ten years...

you'll be in prison, Seol Hee.

Tae Joo.

Choi Min Jae is grabbing your neck.

Some people might be suspicious of you even if I go to prison.

So, Tae Joo...

don't go to the Philippines.

There is a place safer than that.

Choi Seo Yoon.

Go to her, Tae Joo.

She... needs you.

And you need her, too.

I'm sorry, Tae Joo.

I sold the dream of disappeared shoes to you.

I'm really sorry.

Seol Hee.

This is Choi Seo Yoon.

This is Choi Seo Yoon.

Tell her, Tae Joo.

Tell her you're going.

This is Jang Tae Joo.

I'm leaving for the church right now.

What to do, my Tae Joo.

You won't get to eat the food I cook.

You could've had a big surprise.

Smile.

Have the finance team on standby.

As soon as the wedding is over and the one billion dollars is deposited

I'll sign off on the hot money at 6 o'clock

and take care of the foreign loans on the domestic affiliates tomorrow morning.

And keep 100 million dollars in the finance team at Corporate.

Yes, ma'am.

I'm going to keep them...

Sung Jin Group and the promise.

Lord, bless this ring they exchange as a symbol of love and faith.

- Amen. - Amen.

Please accept this ring as a symbol of my love and faith in you.

Please accept this ring as a symbol of my love and faith...

With the one billion dollars deposited two hours ago, the hot money was taken care of.

I just got a call from the office of the prime minister.

For Sung Jin Group's second foundation ceremony

people from the department of commerce will attend.

And Moody's is planning to upgrade the credit rating.

Vice Chairman, the Group is back to normal operation.

Send a few employees to the mortuary for Congressman Kim Gwang Se.

His family must be having a tough time from his sudden death.

I'd like to help them.

With Congressman Kim's death

all the issues that came out during the hearing

were closed due to lack of a right to arraignment.

Congressman Kim has always had problems with women...

so the media is feeling sympathetic towards Ms. Yoon Seol Hee.

Dad told me...

that there will be times when I should believe what others say rather than what I see.

This is that time.

You came back to the office right after the wedding.

You should rest for today...

The ring is a bit heavy.

Jang Tae Joo will come to our home tomorrow morning.

I have a lot to do before then.

I heard the billion dollars came in.

With the shares of Sung Jin Cement that you own

I also heard you set up the joint voting rights on that.

IMF is a mud fight.

Whoever gets out first will move far ahead.

And Sung Jin Group got out of the mud today.

Since your construction company also has Sung Jin in its name

its share price will go up by a lot tomorrow.

Treat me to dinner, Min Jae.

Jang Tae Joo is a poisonous frog.

You swallowed it out of urgency

but the prosecutor's investigation will start again tomorrow.

If I leak just one sheet of the document, Tae Joo will...

If you leak one, I'll leak two.

Major League Baseball in the U.S. is having an illegal drug crisis.

If there is a sudden growth in muscles

it arouses suspicion of them taking illegal drugs.

Sung Jin Construction grew by more than five times it size in the last three years.

I know all about the drugs you've been using.

Seo Yoon.

When we were little, I was catching fish in the pond and ruined a few expensive ones.

Meanwhile, you were making firecrackers in the backyard

and ruined the whole flower bed.

Do you remember we decided to keep it a secret since no one saw us?

Let's do that again.

We are cousins after all, Min Jae.

Seo Yoon, Tae Joo is not a horse you can tame.

I should at least try to hold the reins.

Whether I can ride or not.

Whatever promise you made with him, that bastard is...

Let's stop here.

Jang Tae Joo...

that man is my husband now.

Be nice to him. He's family.

Seo Yoon.

Oh, is Yoo Jin doing well?

Any news of a baby yet, Min Jae?

They had a wedding ceremony at the church?

President Jang Tae Joo and Seo Yoon?

The hot money was signed off.

The Group's liquidity will remain at the normal level.

She said she'd hold a family meeting tonight, so I said yes.

I thought she'd extend the hot money loan.

Seo Yoon probably wouldn't want to touch her shares

so I thought she'd demand a collateral from us.

If we hold the shareholders' meeting in this situation

what's the probability that we'll win?

Even if we postpone the shareholders' meeting, nothing else will happen.

The shareholders' meeting of Sung Jin Cement is the table that you and I set.

There is a way.

What is it?

Got it.

Eun Jung...

after enduring such hardship, you're finally receiving a big fortune.

Seo Yoon and Mother have about the same shares of Sung Jin Cement.

The shareholders' meeting will end up being a fight between stakes.

With the shares purchased with cash in the department stores...

Mother's asking me to stand on her side.

She said she'd give us a separate entity in a few months.

The Shipyard, Heavy Industry, and even Machinery.

Eun Jung, this isn't right.

Even if I hate Seo Yoon, she's my sister.

We even made her marry that bastard Jang Tae Joo because of a family fight...

The first son of Myung Jin Group married a daughter from a media company.

The first daughter of Chairman Kang at Dae Sung Group married a son of the prime minister.

That's what marriage is in this world.

Sharing the same room with the person needed most at the moment.

Seo Yoon was smart.

The one billion dollars that President Jang Tae Joo owned...

She gained what she needed.

I'm not so sure about this.

It's only been a few months since Father's death, but what's right...

You be the good son. I'll be the bad daughter-in-law.

First, take our share first.

Think about what's right after that.

She's crazy!

That Seo Yoon... do you know how many people wanted her?

Dad bragged every time he came home from the Federation of Korean Industries meeting.

All the chairmen with sons wanted her as their daughter-in-law.

Even at the Blue House banquet...

Let's get cash with the golf courses as collateral

and buy Sung Jin Cement shares.

It's not a big stake, but if we buy just enough to tip the scales

then Mother will keep her promise to us.

Dong Hui, I don't want to see that woman.

Just hearing her voice gives me goosebumps.

I'm going crazy.

Whether Mother wins or Seo Yoon wins...

Mother will leave after the shareholders' meeting anyway.

After that... what would we be left with?

Let's just focus on that, Jung Yoon.

I'll get punished, Dong Hui.

I'll take that punishment for you, Jung Yoon.

We're getting the department stores, right?

Oh, we're in discussion about that.

The police investigating the murder of Congressman Kim Gwang Se

at his vacation house in Cheogpyeong this afternoon

announced that as soon as the crime scene investigation is over

they will request an arrest warrant for Ms. Yoon.

Based on circumstantial evidence, the motive for killing

and Ms. Yoon's consistent confession...

the police believes Ms. Yoon to be the prime suspect of this crime.

- Tae Joo, why would Seol Hee... - President Jang.

We'll start the meeting in an hour.

Rest until then.

From now on... I won't rest even for a minute.

The interior change in my room was completed today.

Jang Tae Joo will come tomorrow morning.

Seo Yoon, you should've told me.

Marriage... shouldn't be done like this, Seo Yoon.

I only thought about one thing.

I had to protect Sung Jin Group from this woman, Han Jung Hee.

I'm still thinking about only one thing.

Han Jung Hee.

Bae Sung Jae.

I'm going to make them leave this house.

Ms. Han Jung Hee. Bae Sung Jae.

I'd like it if you two left this house.

Right now.

Your father told me...
