What brings you here
without giving me a call?
Don't do it.
What's with you? What
do you mean don't do it?
Marrying Lee Doo Hak.
I didn't come to whine about why
you chose Lee Doo Hak over me.
You just can't marry Lee Doo Hak.
I told him to leave the business for good.
In return, I will be with him.
It's not that he left
the business for good,
he's handling it under the table.
Lee Doo Hak is currently managing
the funds of an even larger organization.
Lee Doo Hak? Isn't he hyung to you?
Well, he could become a defendant.
When he commits a
crime, then put him in jail.
When that happens, I'll leave him, too.
You will...
definitely get hurt.
That is for me to handle.
- You don't know what kind of a man you're with.
- Cheol Woong.
Please just leave Doo Hak and me alone.
If you don't, only you will suffer.
Hello?
It's Yeo Jin.
I was blackmailed today as well.
I really feel like dying...
Yeo Jin, Yeo Jin!
Yeo Jin!
Team Captain Oh.
Yes, please speak.
This has nothing to do with the country or
the people, but it has to do with my family.
I need you to take care
of some difficult business.
All by yourself, without
anyone else knowing.
I believe your peace is connected
to national peace, Deputy Director.
Just give me your orders.
Thank you.
I will be with you until the day I die.
I heard from Mother.
That you're my biological father.
Really?
You must've been shocked.
[Episode 10]
Yes.
I planned on being together with
your mother for the rest of our lives.
It is not your mother's flaw.
I know.
But...
I will keep Choi as my last name.
Please understand.
Also...
I have a favor to ask you.
Lee Doo Hak...
please cut ties with him.
I will do so as well.
Is it because he knows your
secret of being a m*rder*r?
I thought he was a
pretty useful hunting dog.
Please find another hunting dog.
Why are you so concerned with Lee Doo Hak?
Since he is a criminal
and I am the one who catches criminals.
Weren't you guys friends?
Lee Doo Hak helped you out before, too.
I know how to differentiate
between private and public affairs.
If you do not cut ties with
Lee Doo Hak, Deputy Director...
If I don't?
Then I will handle this
according to the law.
I mean it.
I'll consider it.
Gosh, you scared me!
Hey! What time is it right
now that you're not sleeping?
Aren't you sleepy?
Are you waiting for a call?
Did you fight with Doo Hak?
Gosh, you're being so bothersome.
Just go back inside and sleep.
I'm going to the bathroom.
Also, you're more bothersome, b*tch!
She should just hurry
up and get married! Aigoo.
Is that you, Doo Hak?
What on Earth is going on?
Does it have to do with
the news from earlier?
My father passed away.
What did you just say?
Your father?
Yeah.
Why did your father die?
I know...
Why did he die here...
Maybe you saw incorrectly?
You sure it's your father?
The cigarette that Father
used to always smoke is here
and the matches from the
restaurant where we last ate together
is here, too.
So, I think it really is Father.
Oh, no...
Oh, no...
I should have...
I should have told him
to eat before he left.
I should have held onto him...
I didn't even get to say that...
Damn it...
Where were you all this
time instead of working?
Gosh, your hand is like tree bark.
Why are you being
like this all of a sudden?
You've really gone through a lot.
Gosh, it appears you've finally grown up.
Be good to me from now on, okay?
Where are you going now? You should eat!
Doo Hak's father!
Doo Hak's father!
Doo Hak's father...
Doo Hak's father!
Doo Hak's father!
Is this old man cheating
on me or something?
Why does he keep making me worry like this!
Lee Doo Hak?
I am Prosecutor Park Ji Hwan
from the Supreme Prosecutors' Office.
You are under arrest for charges
of violence and related offenses.
You have the right to remain silent.
Anything you say can and will be
used against you in a court of law.
- Arrest him.
- Yes, sir.
Doo Hak!
- Hyungim!
- Doo Hak!
- Move over!
- I told you to move!
Who are you guys! What are you doing!
We're from the Supreme Prosecutors' Office, and we
are arresting Lee Doo Hak, the ringleader of gangs.
- Excuse me?
- What kind of BS is that?
He is a normal businessman!
That's right! He's left the
g*ng business for good!
You guys are his underlings, aren't you?
Don't worry.
I will reunite you guys and
have you interrogated together.
His father just passed
away. This is too much!
My father passed away, too, but I am
in the middle of executing official duties,
although that was a few years ago.
You're happy about this?
You sons of b*tches!
Father's cigarettes...
Father's cigarettes!
Don't worry. I'll make
sure to hold onto it.
Hyungnim! Hyungnim!
Doo Hak! Let go!
We suddenly got a problem.
Prosectuor Choi took
things into his own hands.
What did you say?
Lee Doo Hak just got arrested.
Because he had another
prosecutor do the work
instead of him, I didn't realize it.
What should I do?
Hurry up and go! Stop struggling!
I'm Goo Pan Shik of the Council!
Hurry up and move!
Tell me where Moon Dong Soo is hiding.
I'll let you rest easy if you do.
I really don't know.
How could I tell you what I don't know?
I know you guys are dating.
So how could you not know?
We are not like that.
I'll ask you one last time.
Where is Moon Dong Soo?
The gangs in your Council
have committed a whole variety of crimes.
Is it a department store? Anything
and everything can be found there.
And you, Lee Doo Hak, are their ringleader.
The Council...
is just a fraternity.
If a member of a joint fund society steals,
does the group's president
become the ringleader of thieves?
What did you say?
Is a union meeting of gangs the
same as a common fund society?
I will exercise my right to
remain silent from now on.
[Lee Joong h*]
I wondered why that old man was
acting so mature all of a sudden.
What about Doo Hak?
He is at the Prosecutors' office because
he had to be questioned about something.
What about Jung Ok?
We are asking around about her whereabouts.
Then...
I'm the only one left?
I'm sorry, Mother.
Let's hurry up and go.
Doo Hak's father will be lonely by himself.
Why are you here like this?
It must be cold.
Why are you here...
Cheol Woong...
let me give you a hug.
I'm...
really proud of you.
I'm totally fine, okay?
I really...
don't regret it at all.
It's yulmoo tea. Drink it.
I was really shocked after
hearing the news from Jung Shin.
About my father?
Or about me?
Both.
I don't know if you'll believe me,
but I really liked Ahjussi a lot.
Sometimes,
he was even nicer to me like
a father than my own father.
The autopsy results came out.
It is a hit-and-run accident by a truck.
I'm sure Ahjumma couldn't
get in touch with Jung Ok.
Ahjumma will be going
through a lot by herself.
I asked that they resume the investigation
after the funeral rites are over,
so you should go.
Jung Ok.
- Oppa.
- You've been through a lot, huh?
I had no idea you were here.
I went through a lot trying to find you.
Let's go.
Your father must be waiting for you.
Great work.
I don't have to worry
about the driver, right?
I took care of that completely.
You should not worry about it.
[Funeral Home]
It looks like Lee Doo Hak is here.
What should I do?
If Lee Doo Hak is arrested, there will be
major problems with the redevelopment
we are undertaking.
Hyungnim!
Doo Hak.
Your father...
Your father, what do
we do about your father!
I feel so bad for him...
What do we do...
What do we do!
How could this be...
I feel so bad for our dad...
Girl, what took you so long?
Why!
Do you know how much
your father waited for you?
I'm sorry, Father...
Why are you here now...
Jung Ok...
Jung Ok...
Do you know how much
your father waited for you...
Your father...
What do we do...
Cheol Woong.
You should bow and pay respects.
Do it together with Hyung and Jung Ok.
Yes.
Doo Hak.
Cheol Woong.
To tell you the truth...
Let's...
bury Ahjussi at the burial
site of the Choi family.
Excuse me?
Yes.
Ahjussi was pretty much
an elder of our family.
I also want to bury Ahjussi
there, just like my mother said.
Even so, that's a bit...
We have always been in his debt.
Please allow me to repay
some of my indebtedness.
That would also be... good
for these young kids here.
Things are hectic for them
because they suddenly lost someone.
No, I can't allow that.
Are you saying Father should
serve the Choi family even in death?
Hyung, what did you just say?
Even if Father put that in his
will, I can never let that happen!
You know that's not what we
mean. Why are you saying this?
Hyung. Come on, Hyung!
Hyung!
Jung Ok, are you okay?
Unni...
I am so scared...
It's okay.
Everything will be okay.
You came.
The elder asked me to convey
that he is sorry he couldn't come.
You should've been more careful.
It appears that the prosecutors are not
communicating well with you, Team Captain.
I ask that you take care of this quickly.
I received the report, and
it's already been concluded.
- Thank you.
- No.
The prosecution's leadership
are opposing your release
since you are the ringleader
of a criminal organization.
Making the Council was your downfall.
Since they are viewing all of the gangs
in the country as part of the Council.
Go on trial for now.
Excuse me?
Did you say the ringleader of a criminal
organization can get life or death sentence?
Yes, that is right.
But the business is one thing,
and there is no guarantee Lee Doo Hak
will keep his mouth shut during the trial.
Since Prosecutor Choi decided to
do this, let's support him all the way.
We also have a debt to repay.
- Deputy Director–
- It has to do with my son.
Then...
I will expose the crimes committed by the
Council members and depict the overthrow
of Yeom Gwang Tak as a
horrific g*ng w*r on news media.
Go ahead and do that.
We don't just catch spies.
We need to clean up society, too.
Also, it could be wrapped
up before the trial.
Since all sorts of things could
happen in prison, you know?
Such as a rival g*ng taking
revenge, or taking one's own life.
I will get you out on bail in
the process, so don't worry.
No way...
Are you ditching me right now?
Ditching you?
I remember you saying you
will even die if you were told.
Right now is a very important time for me.
My father passed away and I
need to get married soon, too.
Please help me out.
I'll die if you tell me to die next time.
Next time?
There's no next time for us.
Just push your important
matters for next time instead.
- Team Captain Oh...
- Don't get other ideas, either.
Wait, Team Captain!
What? There's no other way?
Is that something you should say right now?
If there's no way, you need to find one.
He's finally trying to live properly, and
will you watch him fall to the bottom again?
That's not the case. All right?
Jung Shin, this is the higher-ups
going at him full throttle, okay?
Regardless of the investigation,
the result is already set.
You heard of Samchung
Re-education Camp, right?
Just like Samchung Re-education Camp,
they're quarantining all g*ng leaders
as a way of purifying the society.
Your marriage isn't the problem right now.
Doo Hak hyung... will get at least 10 years
and maybe... he could even
get life or death sentence.
What?
This isn't something I can meddle with.
So, what did I tell you?
I told you this marriage isn't right.
That you'll be hurt for sure.
You're... not the one
who planned this, right?
Do you... really see me as that low?
Hey, I also... tried
to look for other ways.
I also want to save Doo
Hak hyung if I have the power.
Then do whatever you
need to do to save him.
Doo Hak's father passed away.
And Jung Ok is under arrest right now.
You saw his mother earlier.
I don't have to get married. So
save Doo Hak, no matter what.
If you don't, I won't ever see you again.
Wait, h-how did so many
things happen at once?
All of Loyal Brotherhood's
bosses are under arrest right now.
We'll also have to stay low for a while.
The higher-ups also gave him up?
Something isn't right here.
If Doo Hak is locked up again, he'll
never get out. We have to get him out.
Yeah, I agree with you.
But what do we do?
The cops are keeping a
watch without blinking an eye.
We do whatever it takes to get him out.
I'll take care of this with Seon
Woo, so you stay out of this.
Will your brains be smart enough?
Is this not going to
work without you, Honey?
I'm sorry.
Hurry up and go.
Thank you.
We just came back from the honeymoon.
I'll k*ll you if you get
caught by the cops.
Don't worry.
I don't want to die by your hands.
[R.I.P. Lee Joong h*]
♫ I'm going to go. ♫
♫ I'm going to leave. ♫
♫ With my young son's hand in mine... ♫
Doo Hak...
Your father is in such a great mood today.
He complimented me for raising you well.
You really worked hard, Honey.
Don't be born as a servant next time...
and make sure to be
born into a rich family.
Take care.
Goodbye...
We've done what we could
to save your face, you know.
I know.
I know, but... it's...
Can't you let him eat lunch
with his family at least?
I can't. We're taking him
back right after from here.
Namsan people also told me not to
give him any room since he's dangerous.
We're going back now.
There will be a short commotion.
When that happens... run toward
the mountain in two o'clock direction.
- Ahjussi!
- Hey, come over here.
- Come here, as*h*le! Drive properly—
- What?
- What are you saying—
- What nonsense!
- Gosh, this as*h*le!
- Gosh...
Stop that b*stard!
♫ Somebody please tell me
now, what am I supposed to do? ♫
♫ Maybe you'll come lie to me
now, what am I supposed to do? ♫
♫ Must have been fallen,
must have been done ♫
♫ Darling, it's all in your mind ♫
♫ I will come back, Darling, have me back ♫
♫ Darling, have me back and hear me ♫
♫ They charge for the darkness
and dart for the rhythm ♫
♫ And having you also in my mind ♫
♫ And start to listen, and suddenly
it's the dark and touch me ♫
♫ k*ll me softly ♫
♫ Is there somebody? ♫
♫ I don't want to breathe in ♫
♫ But nobody knows, nobody knows ♫
♫ k*lling me softly ♫
♫ Please do, somebody ♫
Get that as*h*le!
♫ Breathe in, nobody knows ♫
- Get him!
- Stop him!
Stop him!
Step on it!
Stop right there!
♫ k*ll me softly, don't
leave me in the darkness ♫
Hyeong Joo!
♫ Nobody knows ♫
♫ Nobody knows ♫
Wait, I didn't get on yet!
I'll... I'll send him overseas.
What did you just say?
Have you gone mad? Lost your mind?
Hey, Jung Shin, think carefully.
If you get involved in the wrong
way, you might get in deep trouble, too!
I'll think about that later. We
need to save Doo Hak first!
Save Doo Hak first?
What about me, then? What about me?
Why do I need to put my life on the line?
Hey... don't say it's
because we're friends.
You never know about
the future, Cheol Woong.
I'll also save you once...
with my life on the line.
He'll go there... and smuggle
himself out of the country somehow.
Doo Hak wouldn't want this, either.
We don't have the time right now.
♫ Like the sky that passes above us ♫
♫ After sleeping ten nights ♫
Gosh, why am I so hungry?
- Do you want some soup and rice?
- Should we?
♫ The day was full of noise,
I'll send it off on that wind ♫
I put a little more than
what we agreed, Captain.
Please take good care of him.
We don't have the time,
so this is the only way.
He's a seamen I got to
know while filming a movie.
He's sure to help since he owes me one.
♫ Dear my love ♫
♫ Wherever you are, please be safe ♫
♫ In the dark night,
to be left in eternity, ♫
♫ Please remember our
days that were shining ♫
I'm sorry.
They can't even swallow
the food that was spoon-fed.
Well, that's how they are.
I'll take care of it myself.
Hold for a while.
Lee Doo Hak is sure to contact me
again after preparing something else.
I get the prosecution
trying to lock you up.
It's not like you failed to
deliver the slush funds.
You kept the confidentiality
and never had an attitude.
There is no loyal dog like you,
but he cut you off so suddenly?
Yeom Gwang Tak?
It's not him. I confirmed he
left for the U.S. a long time ago.
Prosecutor Park Jae Hwan is
Choi Cheol Woong's colleague.
One who's trying to lock me up
wouldn't uncuff me and, on top of that,
I hold the greatest weakness of his life.
Anyhow, if Namsan ditched
you, there's no other way.
Take this boat and escape to Japan.
- When you arrive in Japan—
- Whether I smuggle out or get locked up...
I'm losing everything anyway.
Are you saying you'll
fight them or something?
Pull yourself together. It's no just us.
Even Jung Shin put her life
on the line to smuggle you out.
If you get caught, Jung Shin will
also be a criminal! Her life is over!
That's why... we need to put thing back,
so it's peaceful again.
Hey, Lee Doo Hak...
Doo Hak.
Hey, Lee Doo Hak.
Doo Hak...
If we shove the slush
fund records into their faces,
they'll also have to
give up one arm, at least.
If they don't accept it, they'll try to...
get rid of you completely,
not just send you to jail.
Let's just kneel.
We can start again and get strong.
Hyung... I almost died... at
least twice on the way here.
I was lucky.
I haven't heard of a guy who
escaped three times out of luck!
I think I want to test that.
- Doo Hak!
- Hyungnim!
The guy who hit your
father turned himself in.
He's called Lee Yong Deuk,
and he has four criminal records.
as*ault, fraud, and gambling.
He was driving drowsily, so he
didn't even know he hit someone.
We told our boys to look into him.
Also, the most shocking thing is...
Choi Cheol Woong's mother is remarrying,
and the man is... Hwang Choong Sung.
What did you say?
Hello.
It's Lee Doo Hak.
I saw you caused quite the spectacle.
What's the reason?
I told you. Things grew out of our hands.
It shouldn't become a
burden on the company.
I know it's something you
all can easily take care of.
What's the real reason?
You're quite doubtful.
A hunting dog shouldn't
be thinking too much.
You'll be getting a package.
Discuss it with the elder.
I'll call you again.
A slush fund ledger?
Didn't we agree not to leave these things?
I'm sorry.
My marriage is this week!
Make sure to end it before then.
And secure the original copy.
I understand.
I had an investigator and a police
officer watching everyone he might contact.
But the core persons
are nowhere to be found.
They're more or less
the same as one person.
You should've gotten them with Lee Doo Hak!
What did I tell you?
Hey...
I'm sorry. Okay?
Gosh, but how did he undo the cuffs?
Lee Doo Hak... has been found.
Why, you don't like it?
Not at all.
It's pretty.
Thank you.
Did you hear from Prosecutor Choi?
That Doo Hak ran away.
From Doo Hak's mother.
She was asking if I can help Doo Hak out...
Sorry?
I know it's shameless of me to ask this.
But if something happens to Doo Hak...
when his father passed away like that...
I really don't think
I'll be able to live on.
I know.
I know how you feel better than anyone.
Still, this matter is out of my hands.
He's on the run after
committing a serious crime.
How can I help him evade the punishment?
Of course, I know.
He deserves punishment
if he committed a crime.
But what I'm saying is
that men created the laws.
Judges and the prosecutors are also human.
Wouldn't they have some
sense of compassion?
They might sentence only half
of what they would've sentenced.
But even if a country bumpkin like me goes and
begs, it's obvious no one would listen to me.
Since... your sir is at a high position...
if he'll just give a word, wouldn't
they at least pretend to listen?
You don't really know well, Doo Hak's mom.
Every high ranking official...
In other words, the higher up you are, you get
in huge trouble for accepting such requests.
He might also get in trouble.
Why wouldn't I want to help?
If I can, I'll do anything I can.
However, this really
isn't what I can help with.
Please help him, Madam.
If you'll help me...
I'll even pluck out and sell all of
my hair to make you a pair of shoes.
I-If something happens my
Doo Hak, how can I live on?
Please, please. Just once...
Please help him just
once. Just once, please.
I'm sorry, but this
won't help with anything.
Hurry up and stand up.
Is it really impossible?
Yes.
Even if my Doo Hak is...
Cheol Woong's brother,
who shares the same blood?
Will it still be impossible?
Doo Hak's mother.
Even after giving my child to you,
did I ever once ask you for a favor?
Must you really... bring that up as well?
You see, I'm not in the right mind.
Should I seek out Cheol
Woong... and plead with him?
Doo Hak's mother, are you
really going to be like this?
Exactly... so please... just this once.
Please help me just this once.
Just this once.
All right.
When Doo Hak undergoes the prosecution
investigation, I'll ask him for a favor.
Thank you.
Thank you so much.
But don't hold high hopes.
I'd be grateful if you
could just put a word in.
I'm very, very grateful.
And don't ever... talk
about Cheol Woong again.
All right. That... that was my mistake...
Of course. I'll never do that again.
So what are your thoughts?
Do you want me to pull some
strings... for Lee Doo Hak?
I wish... you'd pull some strings.
Just for our son.
He's not hiding in escape... but
coming to fight with his life at stake?
What does Deputy Director think?
He's not someone who
compromises with his hunting dogs.
Oh Jung Shin.
Absolutely don't lose
sight of Oh Jung Shin.
Lee Doo Hak will surely show
up in front of Oh Jung Shin.
♫ I should have told you that I love you ♫
♫ I should've said I
can't live without you ♫
[Make a scene and get
the detectives to leave!]
♫ I should have said I love you ♫
♫ My love you left me
while I was hesitating ♫
♫ in my hesitation ♫
Gosh, you two are working really hard...
keeping an eye on me all day.
Well, I have no idea what you're saying.
I think you've got the wrong people.
You think I'm stupid?
Waiter! Bring us some alcohol.
It's on me.
- Young lady, you're very drunk.
- Gosh.
Who are you calling drunk?
Do you know anything about Lee Doo Hak?
I'm also dying to know.
Tell me if there's anything you know.
It's my wedding soon and
the groom must be present.
You think he'll be there or not?
We should make a bet.
What will you bet on, Ahjussi?
Ahussi? Are you crazy?
Yes, I'm crazy.
Wouldn't you b*stards go crazy, too?
- sh*t.
- Damn it.
What? Didn't you tail me,
so you could see me like this?
What's wrong with you? Come here.
I said, come here!
Hey, you guys come out, too.
I'm going to crush both
of you with my nunchucks.
I'm sorry.
She's very drunk. Sorry.
You think Lee Doo Hak will
just appear in front of your eyes?
Where are you going?
I said, come here!
Where the hell are you going?
Why don't you tail me until the end, huh?
I said, that's enough!
They left. That's enough.
Oh, Yeon Joo.
Doo Hak asked me to
safely bring you to him.
What?
It's so romantic.
Isn't this like some Hollywood movie?
Wait, now's not the time. Yang Ja...
- Yang Ja...
- Yes.
Is there a back door here?
There is. That way.
Let's hurry up.
Jung Shin!
Yeon Joo.
Hyeong Joo.
♫ Somebody please tell me
now, what am I supposed to do? ♫
A man's got to do what he's got to do.
Why are you still here?
Where would I go? When you're here.
You're crazy.
Go before you get caught.
We promised... to live a
long, peaceful life together.
We need to go pick up
the wedding outfits, too!
Can we really do this?
Of course.
Yang Ja always said I'm a crazy b*tch.
I really must be.
I must be a crazy b*stard, too.
- Hey!
- Geez.
Hey, let's go. Let's go.
♫ Please, somebody, I don't want to ♫
Listen carefully to what I'm about to say.
There's a slush fund
ledger I gave to the NSA.
If that's revealed to the world...
Hey, hey!
Lee Doo Hak. Arms in the air and kneel.
Come here!
Hyeong Joo!
I said arms in the air and kneel.
Doo Hak...
Hey!
Jung Shin...
No!
Jung Shin, please.
Let go!
Arms in the air and kneel.
Let go!
Don't move!
Just stop now.
Everything's over.
That's right.
It'd be a shame if you were
left out, Choi Cheol Woong.
I heard the man your mother is
remarrying... is Hwang Choong Sung.
Everything adds up now.
I was really curious.
But in the end... it was you, as expected.
Stop the bullshit.
That has nothing to do with this.
Let's... stop, now.
Okay?
If I stop...
will you carry out... my
sentence in my place?
Just like I how I carried out yours–
Let the hostage go.
I can really sh**t you, Hyung!
♫ Will I be able to come to you again? ♫
♫ Trembling eyes, they're
even more sorrowful ♫
♫ Above the rough sky ♫
No!
♫ Only your name, I engrave like this ♫
♫ Where did it all go wrong? ♫
♫ If I could turn back time ♫
♫ Would things be different? ♫
[Oasis]
You're all I have now.
I was intending to let my daughter
and Prosecutor Choi see each other.
She probably won't have
the time to come this year.
Did something happen to Jung Shin?
I did everything you asked of me.
You did well.
Marry Cheol Woong.
The dead are dead,
and the living should live.
Does Deputy Director also know
about Prosecutor Choi's marriage talks?
NSA Director's Assistant?
Just think you're helping me.
What's the important secret order?
♫ They're even more sorrowful ♫
