EPISODE 7

The night of Hong Yura's death,

what were you doing at the dock near the lake, Mr. Pyo,

wearing a black raincoat?

Looks like you're willing to talk, judging by the look on your face.

Hatch is currently worth over 20 trillion won.

Why don't you hand Hatch over to me?

Hand Hatch over…

to you?

You'll need to set up a blind trust for your stocks

before you enter the Blue House anyway.

What if I were the independent trustee?

A presidential term is fleeting, you know.

I'll return half of it to you upon your return to civilian life.

How does that sound?

You were painting a bigger picture than I'd assumed.

Well, I'll admit, you're a masterful artist yourself.

Greasing Uhm's fist to get him to make it seem like Chairman Jang is behind it all.

Now that's a masterpiece.

Clearly, you're no ordinary man.

You almost had me fooled, sir.

I'm afraid I don't know what you mean.

I suppose you leave me no choice but to speak about your wife.

Hong Taera.

I personally prefer calling her No. 50.

No. 50 is the assassin that Ko Haesoo is madly intent on finding, no?

And the man who turned No. 50 into Hong Taera was you, yes?

I gather you got rid of Hong Yura because she found out the truth.

At last, the puzzle has been solved.

I suppose this very meeting we're having

was probably a part of the plan, wasn't it?

Is Taera aware of the things you're saying to me?

Why would I run my mouth without my partner's consent?

Whatever you're planning, I want to be a part of it,

as an official partner of yours.

Pinning everything on Chairman Jang to take over Kumjo,

becoming the president to take over this country,

I'm all for it.

But, first, why don't you give Mr. Jo back to me?

You wasted your time with a stray because I'd let my boy loose.

I'll make sure this never happens again.

Your turn to show your cards.

Who did you plant to keep tabs on me?

Who's the brave soul who dared to tread on my turf…

and take these photos of me?

It's time you give up on Haesoo.

Over my dead body.

It was you?

Thank you

for surviving.

Remember, you can't kill No. 50 yet.

Mr. Park?

She must be here. Search thoroughly!

Yes, sir!

Haesoo! Ko Haesoo!

Haesoo!

- Ko Haesoo! - Dojin, over here!

We need to get him to a hospital.

HANWOOL MENTAL HOSPITAL

Why didn't you tell me Hajun was alive?

You wanted to see how long it would take me to recognize him?

Were you amused?

Mother Director, are you okay?

Mother Director?

No. 105 was only supposed to scare you, but it seems he slipped up this time.

Of course.

His heartless sister abandoned him as a child.

No wonder he lost his temper.

Tsk, tsk, tsk.

Bring her in.

It is done.

Leave us.

She tried to kill you, Mother.

Why should I worry when I have you? I'll be fine.

You shouldn't resent me.

The accident had crushed his leg,

but I was the one who treated him and took him under my wing.

The least you can do is thank me.

You tried to get him killed.

Mr. Jo ran him over with the car, not me.

But he lost one of his eyes because of you.

Doesn't that make us even?

Whoa, whoa.

No need to sharpen the blade.

I have no intention of revealing your true identity.

We're in the same boat now.

I'd love for you to become the first lady.

I sincerely do.

Drop the bullshit.

Don't you want to protect your brother?

If the truth of that day 15 years ago comes out,

you must know your brother will be in grave danger.

We'd be remiss if you stay out too late.

We must be precious about our future first lady.

No. 105.

Yes, Mother Director.

Think carefully

about how to best protect No. 105.

Take Ms. Hong home.

- Safely. - Yes, ma'am.

If the truth of that day 15 years ago comes out,

you must know your brother will be in grave danger.

I saw

Taera back there.

Why would she be there?

If Director Kim did this to Mr. Park

and Taera was there,

it may prove you right.

Whatever the case,

I think Taera is somehow associated with your father's assassination.

Sorry, honey.

I'm so sorry.

Have a good night, ma'am.

Hey…

I've nothing to say. Neither should you, ma'am.

Hajun.

I'm sorry, I…

I really thought you were dead.

After you fell off my bike,

I fell off the cliff. Then I lost my memory.

Had I known you were at Hanwool, I would've gotten you out of there.

I never would've left you with her.

You have to cut ties with her. You know what she's like.

You need to leave her now. I'll find a safe place--

Talk about Mother Director like that one more time,

believe me,

I will kill you.

Let's get acquainted slowly.

Pilseung.

No. You shouldn't drive in that state.

I told you to watch Jiu constantly.

If anything happens to her…

You must have resented me so much,

waiting for me at that hellish place.

You must have wanted to kill me every day.

Hajun,

I'm so sorry.

I-- I really didn't know.

No!

Sis!

Where's my sister? Hagyeong!

Where is my sister?

How many times do I have to tell you she's gone?

Still can't forget your shitty sister?

She told me we would live together.

She said she'd never leave me again!

It's been months since you had surgery,

and your sister never once showed up!

No! She's coming. She's coming for me--

Wrong. She's never coming back.

The only person you have left to trust…

is me.

Mother Director is all you have now, No. 105.

Your Mother Director.

No. 105…

I'm all you have.

Who did you plant to keep tabs on me?

Who's the brave soul who dared to tread on my turf…

and take these photos of me?

I get my answer before you get yours, Mr. Pyo!

Something wrong?

No, it's nothing.

Were you crying?

Don't be silly.

I couldn't reach you earlier.

Where'd you go? I was worried.

I went out for some air.

I have security anyway.

I'll go check on Jiu.

Don't fret over Haesoo.

You don't have to be apologetic to Dojin either.

Right, now let's think about us.

"Us"?

You, me, and Jiu.

The most precious people in my life.

My family is all I need.

Don't you feel the same?

Haesoo and Dojin are important people in our lives too.

Not anymore.

By the way, we found office space for the campaign team.

I know it hasn't been easy.

And there seems to be a problem with the town house security.

I might replace all staff and security personnel.

Even Pilseung?

Mmm.

Can we keep him around?

Jiu gets along with him well, and I feel comfortable with him too.

I don't want to have to get used to someone new.

If you have a problem with him,
