You look happy.
Since when was this place
can it be accessed at will by just anyone?
I'm not just anyone.
I'm your son.
Of.
The only reason you were able to survive in Kangoh
is because you are my offspring.
That's the only reason.
- I met President Director Park Sajin because... - I want you to leave Kangoh now.
You will be dismissed tomorrow morning at 09.00.
After that, you will be given a notification to leave the Kangoh Group.
Why?
Why can't I?
I also have the ability to make your dreams come true.
Ability?
You think that's your own ability? Isn't Han Taeoh's ability?
That's why you stole it?
If it's not you, but Taeoh,
I don't need to split Kangoh in half
as it is now.
I tried my best to get your approval.
So, why don't you just acknowledge me for a second?
Did you kill Inju because I disowned you?
My son! Your own brother!
You killed him.
Kang Inha is just an empty shell.
Baek Inha!
That's who you are.
Leave everything you have now.
Go back to your old life.
If you step back and live quietly,
I won't make you pay
for your crimes.
What if I don't want to?
What?
I wasn't the one who killed Inju.
However, you.
The person who made me like this and killed Kang Inju!
In the end, it's all your fault.
Finally you showed your true colors.
Back to being Baek Inha?
Now?
I can not.
I didn't ask.
If I tell you to go, then go!
That's the law of Kang Joongmo and Kangoh!
I'm different from my mother.
I won't give up that easily without trying first.
You can't do anything.
Who knows. Is it true?
Get lost before I call security!
You're going to kill me too?
I don't want to see you, so...
Dad, do you know?
It was too late for me to back out.
This wouldn't have happened if you acknowledged me...
a little faster.
I hope…
you reached out this hand a little faster.
Kang Joongmo's Kangoh is gone.
Kang Inha's Kangoh will begin.
How is Chairman Kang?
I just got a call and am on my way to the hospital.
I'll call you when I get there.
OPERATIONS CENTER
What is it?
What happened?
I do not know.
I found him lying unconscious.
However, why did you go to his office at that time?
Why are you alone?
Where is your husband?
HYEWON
What?
PERSONNEL ONLY
How is the Chairman?
It's hard to conclude anything at this point.
What do you mean?
He missed an important time to take his heart medication.
We have to wait for him to wake up first.
Everything depends on him now.
Mom!
Don't…
Don't worry.
He will not die like this.
Sit down.
Wait, is there a secret room?
TO JOONGMO
Han Taeoh.
Who are you?
Han Taeoh?
Don't get me wrong, I'm not here to confess.
You're a fugitive now.
However, you went to a prosecutor?
I really didn't kill anyone.
Why did you say that to me? What does that have to do with me?
I've troubled you.
I came to make up for it.
What?
On the night the murder occurred,
everything was recorded on Shin Bona's cell phone.
I really didn't kill anyone.
I give you…
an opportunity, Prosecutor Ha.
Take your pick.
You want to take this opportunity and return to Seoul
Or stay here and live a normal life?
INVESTIGATION ROOM 1
Good work.
Thank You.
Over here.
FUGITIVE (MURDERER) WANTED NOTICE
Find Han Taeoh quickly.
SEONU WAN
Did I come to the wrong person?
Am I...
expecting too much from you?
You're looking down on me because I don't have connections or money?
Do you think I will obey all your requests?
I must be crazy.
I listen to this shit.
You were arrested for escaping from prison and obstructing justice, Han Taeoh.
You have the right to remain silent. Everything you say is possible
- and will be used against you in court. - What's the use of inferiority?
You…
- have the right to a lawyer. - Your inferiority is useless.
That brings no peace to the dead!
Catch the real culprit.
It gives peace. You have to do that.
So what? Fuck…
Why me? Why?
I told you.
I redeemed my debt.
This is your last chance.
Take your pick.
You will stay here...
or come back?
Ha Myeongjin appeared.
KANG INHA
HAPPY
PERMANENTLY DELETE FAILS?
DELETE…
Han Taeoh.
I think he's with the Chief.
What do you think?
Why are you holding Taeoh?
He's not awake yet.
What happened to you?
I'll call again.
Why are you so surprised?
What is it?
Where is Han Taeoh?
Why ask me?
Because I know my father is hiding it.
Say. Where is he?
Who knows.
Why do you think I know?
I don't care about this.
Is it true?
So, you don't care if I report it.
I would say the last person my father was with before he passed out
is Han Taeoh.
Han Taeoh. Where is he?

Hey.
Hey!
Are you dead?

I think he's dead!
Hey! I win!
Okay!
I'm the king!
Unlucky!
What?
Do you want a drink? Do you want drugs?
The weather is good.
Perfect weather…
to return to a place.
Do you want to cut the video?
Someone's coming in. That's proof there are accomplices.
That's speculation.
Our task begins with speculation and arresting the perpetrator.
What if you can't?
Mo Gijun could run away if something went wrong.
You have to impeach Mo Gijun first, then...
So…
After that…
Wait, you know that person?
- Han Taeoh. - I will help you…
catch the real culprit.
I always keep my promises.
First, taking evidence like this could be a problem for you.
Law enforcers actually commit crimes?
That's why you have to help me, sir.
On what basis?
Come back with us.
Pack your things and come again tomorrow.
I'll take care of the procedural matters.
Thank you sir.
FUGITIVE (MURDERER) WANTED BY NOTICE, HAN TAEOH
CRIMINAL CASES DIVISION
I want to surrender myself.
CURRENTLY ON DUTY FOR THE PROSECUTOR'S SERVICE
Pak Mo Gijun.
You are under arrest for the murders of Kang Inju and Shin Bona.
What's this?
Let go. Fuck.
- Let's go. - Okay sir.
SECRETARY MO ARRESTED AS SUSPECT IN MURDER OF KANG INJU AND SHIN BONA
Seongju.
There will be no pardon or amnesty for Han Taeoh.
We just have to keep moving forward on our path.
DIRECTOR OF KANGOH SECURITIES, KANG SEONGJU
Okay mom.
Only Kang Inha remained.
Correct.
He has no power without the Chairman.
SECRETARY MO ARRESTED AS NEW SUSPECT
The situation was starting to get interesting.
I don't have money...
to pay a lawyer from Milton.
Don't worry about the money.
Milton has a pro bono program for free legal consultation assistance.
Are you taking advantage of me
to promote Milton
Or do you want to promote yourself?
Both are wrong.
I'm just following the Chief's orders.
Chairman Kang Joongmo could see everything clearly.
He asked me to help you solve this problem.
Where do we start?
Dad
The real culprit who killed Inju
has been arrested.
So, you have to wake up, huh?
How is Chairman Kang?
Are there any signs of progress?
I know you met my father.
Did he promise you something?
He offers Energy.
You didn't reject it.
In my position,
more interesting
was on the side of Kangoh's owner from his illegitimate child.
Energy.
I will give it to you.
If you don't like Kangoh's illegitimate child,
You can help me become the owner of Kangoh.
The descendants of the Kang family are your cannon fodder and shield.
I'll be that for you.
Who knows.
That's not very interesting.
I'll be honest with you.
If Chairman Kang hadn't fainted like that,
haven't you been expelled?
If Chairman Kang wakes up tomorrow,
You will leave Kangoh as planned.
The chances are small.
That's just your wishful thinking.
You won't be able to have Kangoh as long as Chairman Kang is still alive.
What if Han Taeoh returns to work based on the court decision?
Even if that happens, don't worry.
As of now, is there anyone else who can help him besides the Chief?
The person who made the ridiculous dream of Royal Road come true
is Han Taeoh, not your father.
Correct.
When the time comes to decide,
accept Han Taeoh as our person.
Apart from our board members,
I will also collect as many shares as possible.
Why now?
Why?
Why did you kill Kang Inju and Shin Bona?
I was treated inhumanely for a long time.
I was often beaten and insulted.
That's why.
That's why I killed them.
You can stop working.
- Why is it necessary to kill? - You don't know what it's like.
Then Han Taeoh?
That's your plan too? Even perjury?
Of.
You answered all my questions with "yes", Mr. Mo Gijun.
You slander other people to be a scapegoat
and even perjured himself for the sake of this perfect crime.
Now you are ready to admit everything?
Where did your determination to avoid prison go?
This wasn't your idea, right?
I planned everything.
I did it.
Who planned this…
and order it?
No.
Kang Joongmo's Kangoh is gone.
Kang Inha's Kangoh will begin.
TO JOONGMO
Even though the time has come, there is no need to complicate things.
Han Taeoh was unfairly imprisoned.
Who will help him besides Kangoh?
He used to be one of us.
He is more loyal than anyone.
In that case…
as division director of the Office of Future Strategy?
Not.
As director of planning and coordination at PT Kangoh.
- What? - Yes.
There is no such department in Kangoh yet.
That's the new department I want to create for President Director Kang Seongju.
Is tomorrow?
After rain comes sunshine.
Finally the time came.
Let's have a drink together before you leave.
You never asked me out for a drink.
You must want something from me.
Why Hong Kong?
There is an investment company there called Gold H Investment.
It's a shell company
that I made to make Kang Inha the chairman.
Only I know it exists.
Even Inha doesn't know.
Now someone else knows.
Me.
Correct.
Once I know your secret, will you kill me?
You really want to bet with me before you die?
Instead of betting rubbish in illegal gambling houses,
but took over the great Kangoh.
Real betting.
He's coming.
where is he
- Why isn't he out yet? - Isn't it today?
Bos!
- Boss! - Boss!
You've suffered a lot!
Know.
Boss! Eat this tofu!
Hey!
Eat this tofu!
Who eats tofu these days?
Still, eat it.
let me go!
Open mouth!
Don't!
Congratulations on your release, Boss.
That's right, right?
Are you Hyangmi's daughter?
I know your name sounds familiar.
That's right, right?
Taeoh and I disagree.
I don't trust gamblers.
What?
- Gambler? - Hey.
I don't believe you either, Hyewon.
You're Hyangmi's daughter.
Yoon Hyangmi took my money away.
Since we're on the same page, let's talk about work.
That's what I want. Yes.
Gold H Investment.
Michael Chang, a Wall Street investment genius,
established an investment company in Hong Kong in 2021.
Michael moved to America when he was young.
He graduated summa cum laude from Cornell and is an eccentric genius.
He was an active rower in college.
He fell in love with trekking and now works as a professional.
Wait.
Who is Michael Chang?
I've heard about Gold H Investment from Prisoner 3866, so I know.
However, he never said anything about Michael Chang.
MICHAEL CHANG, 53 YEARS, US CITIZEN, PROFESSIONAL TREKKER
Me?
Come on.
He's old.
He didn't even look like a friendly old neighbor.
He was just an old man from the outskirts.
Who are you?
Me?

There's something you don't know about me.
I'm a mad dog.
A mad dog.
Guk, guk!
Do you want to die?
Who will I kill?
Am I Long?
However, he's already in prison, right?
See you later.
It does not contain bullets. Don't waste energy.
Van!
Unlucky!
Are we still working together?
Come on. Why do you say that?
Tell me why you're here.
Gold H Investment.
You really fooled me.
However, I can hear you collecting shares.
- So? - What do you mean?
You need my help.

KANG INHA REJECTS THE CONVENTIONAL CONGLOMERATIC FRAMEWORK
If Chairman Kang wakes up tomorrow, you will leave Kangoh as planned.
Kang Inha is just an empty shell.
Baek Inha!
That's who you are.
Leave everything you have now.
Go back to your old life.
If you step back and live quietly,
I won't make you pay
for your crimes.
VIP PATIENT, THAT'S JOONGMO
I'm sorry, Dad.
You should have just died then.
If you die...
We won't go through this twice.
