PANDORA : BENEATH THE PARADISE

Hajun, get out of there now.

-expl*sives are about to go off.
-What?

expl*sives?

[Sungchan] All the doors are locked.

They're not getting out.

Kyojin.

Let's not see each other ever again.

EPISODE 15

You look
even more pathetic than I'd imagined.

I married you under two conditions.

That you'd protect Kumjo, no matter what,

and that you'd be a perfect father
to my son Kyojin.

But you failed to fulfill the latter
condition when you brought in Dojin.

It was a genuine mistake.

A mistake from one night.

That's too bad.

You staked your life
on a child you sired by mistake,

but he betrayed you and brought you here.

I wanted…

to make things work between us.

I did anything and everything you asked
of me, even to the brink of death.

You shouldn't have laid a finger on Dojin.

Have you not tormented him enough
by getting him to marry Haesoo?

Have you no shame?

What could we have done?
Your son loves Haesoo.

Thanks to him, Kumjo was no longer under
suspicion regarding the Ko Taesun case.

I am grateful for that, you know.

My Dojin is innocent.

Leave him alone.
Why draw divine retribution to yourself?

If you want to save Dojin,

give me what you have.

Hand over all of your Kumjo shares
to Kyojin.

The prosecution will summon Dojin soon.

The sooner you decide, the better.

Min Younghwee!

Spare your energy.
Looks like you'll be in there for a while.

You look pretty good in prison garb.

Don't get all high and mighty!

You never know what lies ahead in life!

The heavens are watching us!

[breathing heavily]

"PRESIDENT!"

To my fellow Koreans, who trusted
and supported me all this time,

today's victory would've been impossible
if it weren't for the campaign staff here.

Thank you all.

I will serve this country to repay you
for the trust you've placed in me.

"A PRESIDENT WHO COMMUNICATES
ON THE PEOPLE'S SIDE!"

NO. 7 PYO JAEHYUN

Is Ms. Hong coming?

I'm sure everyone's dying to see her.

[crowd] Oh, wow! She's here!

[photographer] Over here, Ms. Hong!

Congratulations.

Taera.

I won the election.

You must be very pleased.

[cell phones buzzing, beeping]

[person 1]
There's a fire at Mokeum Temple?

[person 2] They're containing it now.

[crowd] There's a fire. What's happening?

-[Jaehyun] Was anyone hurt?
-We're checking now.

There's a fire at Mokeum Temple?

[person 2]
They're containing the fire now.

What's this all of a sudden?

[person 1] How big was the fire?

[breathing heavily]

[Hajun] What?

A b*mb?

The doors are all locked.
They blocked the exits.

[No. 50] What?

There's an emergency exit. Follow me.

[No. 50] Hajun.

You have to survive, so we can meet again.

Of course. Don't worry.

But promise me one thing.

Never give up on your life for revenge.

Stop living as Hong Taera.

Live happily as Mun Hagyeong,

no matter what happens to me.

Why would you say that?

Promise me that you'll do as I ask.

[No. 50] Hajun!

Hajun!

I'll keep my promise.

Watch over me,
and see how I destroy Pyo Jaehyun, Hajun.

The Presidential Security Service
will protect you and your family

until the inauguration.

All personnel have been deployed.

We'll handle security
for your itinerary, personal and public.

That's reassuring.

I'm counting on you.

-Thank you so much.
-Thank you.

What is your first official schedule?

Let's visit the fire scene
at Mokeum Temple.

[security] Yes, sir.

[reporter]
President-elect Pyo's first official visit

will be at the fire scene
at Mokeum Temple.

The exact number of casualties
has yet to be confirmed.

To determine the cause of the fire,

the police, CSI,
the Korea Electrical Safety Corporation,

and the Fire Department,

have begun their joint investigation
on the scene.

[Jaehyun] What caused the accident?

[detective] It seems expl*sives
were set off at this lab.

We're still analyzing the details,

including what experiments were done here.

Have you identified all the victims?

The bodies were damaged
due to the expl*si*n,

so it'll take some time.

[Jaehyun] First, I offer my condolences
to the victims of this tragic incident.

As to why there was a research lab here
and what experiments were being conducted,

the truth must be clearly revealed.

Also, concerning the victims'
funeral procedures and compensation,

I'll do my best as the president-elect
to attend to it with the transition team.

MOKEUM TEMPLE FIRE SITE
COMMAND HEADQUARTERS

Thank you for your hard work.
Have some of this.

Thank you.

Is there any way I can check
the identity of the bodies?

Due to the blast, we haven't found
any bodies that were whole.

They'll be hard to identify.

[Jaehyun] There you are.

I was wondering
if I could help with anything.

-Hello, sir.
-Hello. Thank you for your hard work.

I don't see a memorial
for the victims here.

Would it be all right
if I made one for you?

[officers] Oh, thank you.
Thank you, ma'am.

Ms. Ko,
I haven't accepted your resignation.

I need you back at work.

I clearly expressed
my intention to resign.

I know you're feeling uneasy
due to recent family issues.

But your confrontation with Chairman Jang
has reached ten million views now.

Message boards on our website are
exploding because of your fan base.

"Do not shun the victim.
Bring her back immediately."

"Do you want to lose a real journalist?"

We get tens of thousands of calls a day.

Where else can the face of YBC go?

You may as well dedicate your life there.

I won't tell you again.

Help me out here, Ms. Ko. Come on. Huh?

Oh, great. I'll see you at the office.

Okay? Don't see me out.

Stop-- Stay there! I'll get going.

Hey, did you find anything?

The files are meticulously fabricated
to frame Dojin for misappropriation.

It'll be hard to discredit.

[sighs] The Kumjo Group executives
are avoiding my calls too.

I reckon they've been compromised.

What do you mean?

Didn't you hear?

Your mother-in-law is to become
the acting chairwoman today.

[Younghwee]
I believe you're all still in shock.

When I found out
about Chairman Jang's crimes,

I too wanted to end his life by my hand.

-We understand.
-Yes, we do.

Kumjo Group was founded
upon the company that my father built:

Joseong Foods.

Therefore, I can never give up Kumjo.

Of course,

I stepped away from company management
a long time ago.

It'll be hard to put your trust in me.

So instead of trusting me,

trust yourselves.

Please help me to rebuild

the Kumjo you built.

Please protect the hundreds of thousands
whose lives depend on Kumjo.

I beg you to consider it.

[Younghwee] What about Kyojin?

[Ms. Eun]
I found his departure records to the US.

[Younghwee] The US?

Contact all our US offices.
Tell them to find Kyojin.

Yes, ma'am.

Before those snakes
start getting funny ideas,

we need to find him
to make him the chairman.

You've shown your true colors, Mother.

What do you mean?

You wanted Kumjo,

so you framed Dojin
for something he didn't do, no?

Your concerns for me and Leo,
was it all an act?

Did you deceive all of us?

Your sentimental view of the world

is why your revenge took so long.

Let's think rationally here.

Once you divorce Dojin,
we're strangers anyway.

If you want what's best for Leo,
shouldn't you humble yourself before me?

Dojin must've been so lonely
all this time.

And he tried so hard to be loved
by a mother like you.

I pity that poor man so much.

Don't tell me…

Are you actually worried about Dojin?

Knowing what your father-in-law did?

-Do you actually love him?
-Mother.

[Younghwee laughs]

Now I don't have to feel guilty
for marrying the two of you.

[Haesoo] What does that mean?

When Dojin told us he wanted to marry you,

I gladly gave my approval
for Kumjo's sake.

I thought it would be
an effective shield for us.

But now you're acting
like he's the love of your life.

I've no reason to feel guilty anymore.

What are you doing all this for?

Your family and your children
are all gone.

You're all alone now.

What?

I guess I'm not as miserable as you.
At least I've someone to protect.

Look.

Name your price for a phone call.

Mr. Prosecutor, this is Jang Kummo.

I thought I might give you
the evidence you've been looking for.

MOKEUM TEMPLE FIRE
MAY ALL VICTIMS REST IN PEACE

[No. 50] I promised
I'd never leave you alone again…

but I failed to protect you.

I'm sorry, Hajun.

I'm sorry.

[Sungchan] Mokeum Temple
won't catch up to us, will it?

What if they find evidence
of your involvement?

[Jaehyun] That won't happen.

How would they when all evidence
and samples have been burned?

Even if there's a problem,
Min Younghwee will take the fall.

Ms. Min is the one who donated
the underground space anyway.

Wait a minute.

Was it all a calculated move
when you got her involved?

[Jaehyun] You did well this time.

I'll give this to you as promised.

The off-roading accident recordings.

The original files.

[Sungchan]
You sure these are the original files?

[Jaehyun] Kyojin's dead.
What use would I have for them?

[Sungchan laughs]

Oh, man. Sujeong's gone too.

Wow, I can finally breathe again.

By the way,

I do pity Kyojin for his poor fate.

He struggled so much
to get back on his feet again.

All that for what?

Life is fleeting, isn't it?

Watch your mouth.

Ms. Min can never know her son is dead.

We cooked up his travel records,
so how'd she know?

She'll think he fled
to get the hell away from her.

Oh, right. By the way.

What about that kid?
Why'd you make him one of your samples?

I mean-- sh*t. What was the prick's name?

Taera's bodyguard? Pilseung, that's right.

He was a nuisance in many ways.

And I needed a young, healthy sample.

Here's a list of our new samples.

It's about time we set up a new lab.

Yes, sir. Mr. President.

Hey.

Does this mean
Dojin's going to prison now?

We need a hostage
to render Ko Haesoo helpless.

[Sungchan laughs]

Damn it!
Hey, seriously, I miss Dojin for real.

He was a nice guy.

My goodness.

[No. 50] Fine, laugh all you want

I'll lead you to the most agonizing hell.

Am I being transferred to the prosecution?

Haesoo?

You'll be investigated without detention.

Your father handed over to the prosecution

all other shell company files
under Jake Jang's name.

To save you.

[Kummo sighs deeply]

Why have you come?

Didn't you lock up your own father
only a while ago?

If you were going to resent me,

why provide proof to the prosecution?

You're right!

I do resent you a lot.

Wearing prison uniform at this age,

eating cold food on the cold floor.

It gets me all riled up to the core!

The b*stard I call my son
stabs me in the back

so I can suffer at my old age.

I wish I could die right now! So what?

Father…

Is it so hard for you to apologize?

It's your sin. This is all your doing.

You're right.

[sniffles]

This is the mess I created
all because of my own idiocy.

It's all my fault.

Did Taesun really say that?



He dares to investigate Kumjo?

He's lost his mind,
now that he's wielding power, huh?

The prosecution has never dared
to probe Kumjo!

I'll try to persuade him.

I've known Taesun for 30 years.

He'll listen to me.

Wait. Don't you know your friend at all?

Ko Taesun would never give an inch.

If I gave the chairman seat
to a nobody like you,

the least you can do is protect it.

Are you going to just watch
my father's accomplishments collapse?

I'll do what I can
to hold off the investigation.

Get rid of Ko Taesun.

What?

No matter how much he does us wrong,

he is my friend!

Did you just raise your voice at me,
honey?

You said you'd serve obediently
like a loyal dog.

You chose to be of service to me,
didn't you?

What's the point of keeping
a guard dog alive,

if he can't protect his own home?

How?

How can a man be so cruel?

You're going to blame Mother?

No, you have no such right.

The decision ultimately was down to you.

[breathing heavily]

Pay the price for what you did to Haesoo
before you even think about getting out.

I'm sorry, Dojin.

Don't you see that's why
you're always a step behind him?

[Younghwee] Dojin is the one
who always takes care of things.

You're doing well.

-Come visit Grandma again.
-[Leo] Okay.

I no longer have…

a mother anymore.

[Younghwee] Dojin was released?

It seems your husband owned
several other shell companies.

He had all related documents stored
in a private safe at Jongno Bank.

He had a private safe we weren't aware of?

Apologies, I didn't think to search
for an account in Leo's name.

Seems he's forgotten his place.

He'd only been concerned
about his own bloodline.

Your red-eye flight to New York
has been booked.

Yes, find Kyojin first.
That's our priority.

[Yeongguk] The public is responding well
to your visit to the fire scene, sir.

That's a good start.

Please proceed
with the transition team's launch.

[Haesoo] Breaking news.

[Jiu] Oh? It's Auntie Haesoo!

The underground lab found

below Mokeum Temple was reportedly
an ill*gal human experiment site.

Let's take a look at the video sent
by our anonymous source.

MOKEUM TEMPLE UNDERGROUND LAB
CCTV FOOTAGE

Experts explain

that as shown in this video,
experiments involving

electrical stimulation from microchips

implanted into the brain
are strictly prohibited in Korea.

It has been discovered that
the site had been donated

to the temple, seven years ago,
by Min Younghwee of Kumjo.

There are speculations that Kumjo Group
was involved with this secret lab.

[bell dings]

You said everything would be fine.

You said not to worry,
that you'd end it as a simple fire.

How dare you get Kumjo involved.

What makes you think
I won't take care of it?

I survive only if you do.

It'll be resolved soon,
so don't ever rush over here again.

Put on a brave face and stay calm
as the elder in this situation.

[Younghwee exclaims, gasps]

The fact that Kummo released Dojin

means he hasn't given up on Kumjo yet.

Say Kumjo doesn't go to my son Kyojin.

Then, our deal's over.
You know that, right?

Dojin was released?

You didn't know?

How can you be so ill-informed
when you're the president-elect!

[Ms. Eun] What is it, Ms. Hong?

You have to see this.

NATIONAL ID
JANG KYOJIN

Why-- Why do you have this?

Kyojin's departure record is false.

Jaehyun fabricated it.

What?

Kyojin was at the fire scene
of Mokeum Temple.

To be exact,
inside the secret lab that exploded.

What the hell are you blabbing about?

Are you saying something happened to him?

That's for you to find out for yourself.

You'll soon find out
whether I'm telling the truth or not.

Ma'am, shall I take you to the airport?

No, let's head home.

Summon the lawyers as well.

NATIONAL ID
JANG KYOJIN

I'm pretty sure
someone stole the lab data.

Maybe Sujeong is alive.

It's not her.

She was as good as dead
when we brought her in.

What about Kyojin?

It makes no sense.
I designed it like a fortress.

So newcomers can never escape!

About the expl*sives going--

Only the two of us knew.

Hey, damn it.

Sujeong could've gotten him out
before she died!

If, by some extraordinary chance,
you gave her

all of the research records, then--

Damn it! This is freaking me out!

[panting]

Whoever the source is,
Ko Haesoo will know.

I sent Mr. Jo, so let's wait.

What? You gonna get rid of her? Huh?

I heard Dojin was released.

Don't do anything rash,
or you're going to take a real hit.

[sighs deeply]

OUTGOING CALL
HAESOO

[Jo grunts] Tsk, tsk, tsk.

Easy. Don't panic.

Start the car.

Damn it.

[Jo chuckles]

Jang Dojin, you prick.

[line ringing]

Mr. Jo. Why isn't this as*h*le picking up?

[knocks]

Honey, are you busy?

Oh, no. What's up?

I put Jiu to bed,

so I wanted to have
a glass of wine with you.

Shall we? Let's do that.

Uh. Ms. Min came because of Dojin, right?

If there's anything you can do to help,
please do.

I wouldn't dare disobey you.
I'll do as you say.

[Jaehyun]
I'll give this to you as promised.

The off-road accident recordings.
The original files.

He has the original footage.

FINDING FOLDER

[typing]

ENCRYPTED FOLDER FOUND

[Kyojin screams]

[thudding]

MOKEUM TEMPLE FIRE
MAY ALL VICTIMS REST IN PEACE

[sniffles]

[crying]

[No. 50] Was I right?

I checked all the surveillance footage
at the airport,

but I couldn't find him.

Kyojin's car was last found

near Mokeum Temple.

[No. 50]
He probably turned off his cell phone.

Kyojin was at the secret lab that day.

[gasps, breathes heavily]

I have to show you one more thing.

[Kyojin screams]

[thudding]

Was it-- Was it really him?
The one who tried to k*ll my son?

Jaehyun knew
who the culprit was from the beginning.

He also aided Sungchan
in the temple bombing.

He k*lled Kyojin twice.

No way! Kyojin didn't die.

You know what I did to revive him?

How would a mother not know
when her son is dead?

No way. I can't believe you.
He's not dead!

[Sungchan] Hey, wait.

You're going to blow this place up?

What about the subjects here?

[Jaehyun] They'll disappear

along with Jang Kyojin

forever.

Kyojin,

my brother, and Sujeong.

They were all k*lled by Jaehyun.

Do you still not believe me?

This is all your fault.

If Kyojin hadn't gotten involved with you,

this wouldn't have happened.

He would've inherited Kumjo
without any trouble!

No.

You're the one who built the secret lab
by joining forces with Jaehyun.

You're the one

who k*lled Kyojin.

No, it's a lie! He's not dead!

This can't be! No, no, no!

-Ma'am.
-No!

Get rid of Jaehyun's slush fund.

That's the only thing you can do

for your late son Kyojin.

BORROWED-NAME ACCOUNTS LEDGER

[grunts]

What?

How dare you come here?

Ms. Eun! Ms. Eun!

You're the one who made Haesoo live
in misery for so long,

you never treated me like a son,

and you abandoned my father
so heartlessly.

All that to satisfy your greedy ambition
to have Kyojin take over Kumjo.

But unfortunately,

he's no longer with us.

Shut up!

I'll show you what becomes of those
who work with Jaehyun.

[Ms. Eun grunts]

[line ringing]

I found Jaehyun's
slush fund ledger, Taera.

[groans]

Honey.

Are you awake?

I think you were pretty exhausted.

[sighs] I guess so.
I must've been pretty tired.

You seem energized today.

Yes, I went to the flower market
early in the morning.

I want to send them
to the transition team today.

I couldn't sleep because I was so excited
about the ceremony.

Go wash up.

[in English] Okay.

BEST DAD AWARD

[in Korean] It's an award for
the best dad in the world.

I give you this award

for being the coolest dad
not just in Korea but the whole world.

You have to wear it every day, okay?

I'll give you an award

for being the best daughter in the world.

Think carefully about what you want, okay?

See you at the ceremony.

I might be a little late.

I have a lot to do before we move
into our new home.

It's a piece of cake for you.
You're an expert at it.

Take it easy. Don't wear yourself out.

You'll need a lot of energy today.
It's an important day.

Okay. See you later.

See you later, Jiu.

[cell phone beeps]

[Jo] Hello?

Why haven't you called back?

How did it go?

What about the informant?

[Jo] We're tailing Ko Haesoo.

But we don't see any movements so far.

I'll call you
when anything fishy comes up.

What?
Are you going to k*ll the president-elect?

No matter how hard you try,
there's no way you can stop him!

Do you know that?

[Dojin] No.

It's over for Jaehyun,
to whom you were so loyal.

[reporter]
Congratulations on the inauguration.

Any comment on the new administration?

Please say a few words.

[reporters] Any comment?
What can you tell us?

-Could you comment?
-Anything?

A comment, please!

[Sungchan] Hey, Jaehyun.

You've already arrived?

Damn it. Listen.

I never knew CEOs had
so much paperwork to do.

Okay, I'll be right there.

Okay.

Ms. Min.

What brings you here?

Are you going somewhere?

Today is Jaehyun's inauguration ceremony.

But you're not allowed in here.

[scoffs]

You must be reaping a lot of benefits

by siding with him.

You're not even worthy

of being the CEO of Hatch
and part of the transition team.

Is this why

you have to side with the right people?

Of course.

Because you sided with Jaehyun,

you got Kumjo Group.

Before that, you were just a housewife.

sh*t!

Wait, that's--

What do you think you're doing?

Was my son's life
the price you paid for this job?

Did you think I'd let you
get away with this?

Have you gone senile?

Who k*lled whom?

You shameless b*stard.

How dare you frame Dojin and deceive me!

What did you do with my son?

You're the one who lured him
into Mokeum Temple, aren't you?

By fabricating his travel records,

did you think you could keep
his death a secret forever?

How dare you, you little sh*t?

How dare you k*ll Kyojin twice?

[Sungchan] sh*t.

[Younghwee] Damn it!

Listen here.

You should've stopped your sons
from being nuisances.

Why put me in such a foul mood?

Actually,

you should've let him die seven years ago.

Why would you do all that sh*t
to save him?

He died anyway, didn't he?

[Younghwee gasps]

Do you have evidence

that your son died at Mokeum Temple?

I bet you can't even prove
that we k*lled him.

Ms. Min.

Jaehyun is the president now
and I am Jaehyun's closest partner.

You're no match for me.

If you so desire,

how about I dig up dirt about Kumjo Group

and teach you a lesson?

Do I…

Do I look like I have the will to live on?

You really have gone senile.

Damn it.

Hey, Mr. Ha!

Security!

Is anyone out there?

Hey! Get rid of this nuisance!

What the hell?

[groaning, panting]

Does it hurt, Sungchan?

My son's pain

would've been a thousand times
greater than yours.

His whole body was on fire.

He would've been in so much pain
that he could barely breathe.

But you…

you call that pain?

Don't worry.

I'll go to Jaehyun's inauguration ceremony

on your behalf.

PYO JAEHYUN! NEW ADMINISTRATION
INAUGURATION CEREMONY

-[Yeongguk] Mr. Han.
-Ah.

Thank you for coming.

The president-elect earnestly requested
that you attend.

He thinks of you so highly
that I felt a little envious.

Let bygones be bygones.

I, Han Kyungrok, will always be
where I'm needed.

That's my motto in politics.

That's right.

Is the man of the hour not ready yet?

[Jaehyun] For the new Pyo Administration,

its first project is
the long-awaited science project.

I deeply regret
the Mokeum Temple fire incident,

and I'll take action so human experiments
won't be conducted in secrecy,

but in transparency and within legal--

I don't remember inviting…

you, Ms. Min.

Big celebrations call
for uninvited guests.

Did something happen?

You don't look too well.

I went to see Sungchan.

I had to confirm something.

Confirm what?

[Sungchan] Mokeum Temple
won't catch up to us, will it?

What if they find evidence
of your involvement--

[Jaehyun] That won't happen.

How would they when all evidence
and samples have been burned?

Even if there's a problem,
Min Younghwee will take the fall.

Ms. Min is the one who donated--

You tricked me and said the experiment
was needed to help Kyojin wake up.

Then you conducted
ill*gal human experiments?

You'd do all the dirty and bloody work,

and you were going to frame me for it?

I only said that
because that b*stard Sungchan

realized that you were
in charge of my money.

I had to come up with an excuse.

If people found out about us,
it would cause a commotion.

You know what I mean, right?

Oh.

I see. So that's what it was.

But…

why did you k*ll Kyojin?

What?

Why would Kyojin die?

What on earth are you talking about?

You k*lled him,

along with the subjects
in your secret lab.

You made Sungchan k*ll him.

So they would all disappear…

Along with Jang Kyojin forever. Boom!

On my way here, I kept thinking

about what I should do with you.

What can I do to avenge my son?

No matter how much I think about it,

there's only one way to avenge Kyojin.

Jaehyun.

You'll have to die in pain
just like Kyojin did.

Have you gone mad?

You want to stab me?
Don't you know who I am?

Think you'll be president
when my son died because of you?

[gasping]

That's just too unfair.

Don't you agree, Jaehyun?

[Jaehyun grunts]

I won't die.
You know what I did to get here?

I won't let anyone get in my way!

-[grunts]
-[Younghwee screams]

If it weren't for my money,
you'd be dead right here, right now!

[announcer] President-elect Pyo's
New Administration Inauguration Ceremony

will begin soon.

All guests may now enter the hall.

[Jaehyun] Unless you want to join Kyojin,

don't say a word
until the ceremony is over

and stay put, got that?

Make sure no one enters the green room.

Yes, sir.

[Jaehyun sighs, chuckles]

Thank you for waiting. Shall we begin?

[Jaehyun] If it weren't for my money,
you'd be dead right here, right now!

Why is that…

[Haesoo] President-elect Pyo Jaehyun.

Are you the mastermind
behind the establishment

of a secret lab below Mokeum Temple
to conduct ill*gal human experiments?

Did you blow it up to destroy evidence?

No.

That's not true.

Do you admit to using the names
of the test subjects

to set up accounts for a blind trust

for your Hatch shares, so that Ms. Min
of Kumjo can manage your slush funds?

No.

It's all a lie.

[Dojin] No, it's all true.

I've sent you all the evidence you need
to prove that Ko's accusations are true.

-[cell phones buzzing, beeping]
-[murmuring]

-What?
-Is this video evidence?

[Yeongguk] Take a look at this.

[Jaehyun] Let's see how much stimuli
your cranial nerves can withstand.

[Kyungrok] I know that man!

He was Pyo Jaehyun's wife's security!

How could you do such a heinous thing
to a healthy person?

Mr. President-elect, what's going on?

Is this all true?

I said it's not true!

It's all a lie!

Trust me.

Trust in me and no one else!

The smart patches released by Hatch
and the research results with Red

were all manipulated by Pyo Jaehyun.

Red was k*lled before the side effects
could k*ll her first.

And the smart patches failed.

Pyo Jaehyun was putting on a show
to manipulate the stock prices.

Cut the bullshit!

I didn't fail.

My research was perfect.

No, you're a devil
who sacrificed many innocent people

for your worthless cause.

b*stards like you should
never become president!

I am the president!

I'm President Pyo Jaehyun!

-Damn it.
-[No. 50] Honey.

-Taera.
-This isn't you.

I think there's been a misunderstanding.

He would never do such a thing.

Please believe me.

Taera, you trust me, right?
You will trust me, won't you?

[person] Mr. Pyo!

You're under arrest
for arson at Mokeum Temple.

You have the right to remain silent.

You have the right to an attorney.
Anything you say--

[crowd] What? What's going on?

-Turn on the lights!
-What is this?

-Turn on the lights quickly!
-What is this?

-What?
-What's going on?

Where did they go?

Where did Pyo Jaehyun go?

Hey!

[bystander] Where is he?

Get ready. Taera will be out soon.

I believe you. Let's get out of here.

That car.

[Jaehyun] Get in!

Haesoo.

Taera just took off.

[Younghwee] Let go.

Pyo Jaehyun.

I have to k*ll him myself.

Kyojin's DNA wasn't found
at the fire scene of Mokeum Temple.

What?

You need to get out of there.

The police are looking for you.

If you get caught now,
you will neither find nor meet Kyojin.

My baby is alive.

My baby isn't dead.

The police will tail us soon.

Let's keep a low profile with Jiu for now.

I can take care of everything.

I'll prove that
it's all a misunderstanding.

You trust me, right?

Yes. All I need is your trust, Taera.

Taera.

What's wrong, Taera?

The Hong Taera who trusted you and cared
for you, no matter what, is gone now.

What are you saying?

How could you k*ll Hajun?

What?

I remember everything.

I never lost my memory
for a single moment.

In order to find Hajun,

I put on this disgusting act
in front of you.

No.

No, this makes no sense.

How could you be so shameless

and ask me to trust you
after k*lling Hajun?

Misunderstanding?

[scoffs]

I will never go back
to being the Hong Taera that you created.

You will never see
Hong Taera or Jiu again.

What did you say?

[siren wailing]

sh*t.

The world…

will remember you as a cruel m*rder*r.

Taera.

How could you do this to me?

How could you?

Congratulations.

You just destroyed the Hong Taera

that you created with your own hands.

What?

[officer 1] The car fell below the bridge.

[officer 2] Call the coast guard
and get the divers ready.

-[officer 1] Yes, sir.
-[officer 3] Backup's on the way.

Taera.

Hey.

Damn it.

[detective] Are you awake?

Mr. Pyo.

You're under arrest
for arson at Mokeum Temple.

You have the right to remain silent.

You have the right to an attorney.
Anything you say can and will be used--

Where's Taera?

-Pardon?
-Hong Taera.

Where is she?

-Who is Hong Taera? Do you know?
-[officer] I don't know.

-Who is Hong Taera?
-My wife.

Wasn't she brought here with me?

Is she being treated?
Is she gravely injured?

You were alone when we found you.

There was no Hong Taera.

We'll take you
to the station for questioning.

Feel free to call your lawyer.

Where is my wife? Where did you hide her?

Are you working with that b*stard Dojin?

[Haesoo] Breaking news.

President-elect Pyo has been arrested.

At the 29th New Administration
Inauguration Ceremony,

the story behind the Mokeum Temple
bombing was revealed.

Mr. Pyo, who was on the run
after denying the truth,

stole a civilian's car and fled.

After a police pursuit,
he was finally arrested.

As a result, the youngest
and the first unmarried president-elect

for whom the entire nation was rooting,

in an instant--

Unmarried president-elect?

[officer] Let's go to the station.

Hold on.

May I stop by my house before we go?

I need to check something.

Please.

What?

What's going on?

[breathing heavily]

What the hell happened?

Are we good now?

Stop stalling and let's go.

The photo…

My daughter…

Jiu…

No, it's a lie.

Taera, stop fooling around and come out.

[No. 50] Jaehyun, I'm going to love
no one else until my last breath.

I'm sorry. Please stop this.

No matter what happens,
I will protect you.

Who's going to tuck me in today?

Daddy will! I'll also read you a book.

I'm asking you to stop!

I get it, so stop and come out!

Where are you, Taera?

Come back!

Taera, I said I'm sorry! Where are you?

Where on earth are you?

This is wrong! This is wrong!

This is wrong! No.

This is wrong.

Congratulations.

You just destroyed the Hong Taera

that you created with your own hands.

This can't be.

No.

This can't be!

[breathing heavily]

BEST DAD AWARD

Where's Taera? Where'd you hide my family?

You've never been married! What family?

She can't just disappear into thin air.
Not if everyone's in on this.

[Jaehyun] But I'm your husband.

You're doing this on purpose
to punish me, right?

You're creeping me out.
Get out of my sight now!

[Jaehyun] No matter where you hide,
I will find you, Taera.

Haesoo!

[Jaehyun] Bring me Hong Taera.

[Dojin] Taera is our only way.

[Jaehyun] You're my woman.
You're Pyo Jaehyun's woman!
