to actual places, persons,

organizations, settings and events.

[somber music playing]

[passerby] Are you lonely?

[golfer] No.

[applause]

[passerby] Are you unhappy?

I'd like to introduce my husband,

-Vice-Chairman Kim Yongkook.

-[Yongkook] You're mine.

Let go of me!

[golfer] My marriage

was already ruined long ago.

[passerby] Why are you protecting it

if it means nothing to you?

[director] If Oh Wansoo exposes everything

after she divorces you,

you will lose your inheritance

and management rights.

Don't you get it?

[dramatic music playing]

The only way she has

of leaving this family

is through death.

-[screams]

-[director] Divorce is not an option.

What about him?

[Yongkook] I'll k*ll them myself.

[suspenseful music playing]

[Wansoo] I need you.

[passerby] You need me?

Episode 1

[in English]

Hello. My name is Andrew Jacobs.

I'm the secretary-general.

-Nice to have you here.

-Nice to meet you.

Please come this way.

[funky music playing]

[indistinct chatter]

[executive director] Ladies and gentlemen,

allow me to introduce

Wansoo Oh from South Korea.

[applause]

[in Korean] I would like

to thank all the members

for allowing me to speak today.

I am Korea's goodwill ambassador,

Oh Wansoo,

the Director of the NOW Foundation.

[interpreter in English]

I'm Oh Wansoo.

[applause]

[in Korean]

I'm accompanied by three other guests

who have joined me today.

Survivor, Ms. Adia Balak.

[applause]

Lawyer, Ms. Sandra Adford.

[applause]

[tense music playing]

[faint announcement in distance]

[faint applause]

Ms. Balak's family was m*rder*d

and she was forced into sexual sl*very

where she suffered sexual abuse

at the hands of many !sis members.

[Wansoo] They must stand trial

and be served justice at the World Court.

Let's take a look.

[narrator in English]

A little touch of the NOW Foundation

has a great impact

on the lives of those in need.

NOW Foundation was founded

to offer love to our neighbors

suffering from poverty and disease.

Even at this moment

[upbeat music playing]

Manila, Philippines

[horns honking]

[upbeat music playing]

[tense music playing]

[in Korean]

Director Oh.

!sis sent us an email

threatening us with an act of terrorism.

A death threat? From !sis?

-Yes.

-They said they're going to k*ll me?

Should we cancel your schedule in Manila?

Sure. I'll just cancel all my schedule

because they scared me straight,

and stay holed up at home instead.

What a great idea.

My apologies, ma'am.

[secretary] We picked up your dress

from New York just now

and your necklace

will be picked up in Manila.

-Okay.

-One more thing.

Chairwoman Park will also be

attending the party in Manila.

What?

[servant whispers]

Excuse me, Butler Byeon.

What was that?

You've been out for too long.

Let's head inside.

I asked you what that was.

I'm sorry. I needed to use the restroom.

Darn it.

Can't you even hold it in, you fool?

I lost all the chi I gathered

thanks to you.

It's been over an hour now, ma'am.

[sighs]

Has it been that long?

[sighs]

I'll be flying tomorrow for that party

that will be held in two days.

You know how some people still look old

even when they're in a fancy party dress?

I'd hate for that to happen to me.

I'm worried you might have absorbed

too much of the moon's energy

and caused an imbalance in your body.

Are you making fun of me right now?

You look much younger.

-Your skin looks smooth.

-Really?

Oh. Look at the moon.

Let's go.

Manila, Philippines

[light music playing]

-I'm not late, am I?

-We have plenty of time.

Vice-Chairman Kim

has just arrived at Manila Airport.

[staff in English]

Check, please.

Ah, ah.

Okay.

-Okay?

-Yes, okay.

[in Korean]

I seem to interview you more often

after you've married into the Hwain Group

than when you used to be a pro golfer.

That's because you work

for a current affairs magazine.

Yes. You'll be on the cover

of our Asian edition.

So I've heard.

We'll begin once the crown prince arrives.

All right.

[in English]

Welcome. I'm Oh Wansoo.

It's so nice to meet you.

I'm here to make a contribution.

-Thank you.

-[crown prince] You're welcome.

-Have a seat.

-[crown prince] Thank you.

[comical music playing]

[players cheering]

[in Korean]

What I do is collect donations,

or fundraise.

Crown Prince Muhammad

has agreed to donate to help Ms. Balak,

a victim of w*r,

who I'm raising funds for at the moment.

[reporter] I see.

May I ask how much he will be donating?

It will be more than five billion

in Korean won.

[gasps]

[in English]

Five million dollars.

[all] Wow!

[machine rattling]

[indistinct chatter]

[chips clinking]

[thug in Mandarin] Hey.

You can go to hell.

as*h*le.

[tense music playing]

Hey.

Come with me for a second.

You two go without me.

This way.

[in Korean] NOW Foundation is mostly

focused on humanitarian work in Africa,

where we provide aid to victims of w*r.

And of course, we search for people

who can help fund our work

-and ask them for a handout.

-[chuckles]

[in English]

Begging for money.

[Muhammad laughs]

[in Korean]

I'm here to pay up.

Honey.

[chuckles]

This is my husband.

[in English]

My husband, Kim.

[in Korean] Ms. Park, the reporter,

and Crown Prince Muhammad.

-Hello.

-Hello.

[in English] How do you do?

It's an honor to see you, Mr. Muhammad.

Hello, Mr. Kim.

[in Korean] Congratulations on being made

a goodwill ambassador.

[chuckles]

[thug 1 in Mandarin] Mr. L is coming?

-[thug 2] Who's that?

-An assassin for hire.

[thug 1] A Korean policeman died

a few months ago in our area.

Mr. L did that.

[tense music playing]

He has another gig in Manila today.

[thug 1] He'll do it as soon as

the boss receives the money.

[thug 2] Where in Manila?

[suspenseful music playing]

[suspenseful music intensifies]

No.

Not yet.

The money hasn't been wired yet.

[thug scoffs]

[thug] I'll wait then.

[in English]

Okay.

[in Mandarin]

It will be fine.

Welcome, sir.

[suspenseful music playing]

It's to your right.

Let's head inside.

[thug] Hey.

Hurry up and get out of here.

Oh. Yes, sir.

[knocks on door]

Come in.

-Oh!

-[door closes]

-Welcome, Mr. Park.

-Hello.

[both laugh]

[can clatters]

-I said get out.

-I'm sorry, sir.

[tense music playing]

I'm here with a delivery

from the flower shop.

-[thug] Is that so?

-[Mr. Park] Yes.

[assassin] The flower shop delivery

is complete.

Shall we have a look?

-[delighted sigh]

-[zips bag]

[in English]

Thank you, Mr. Park.

[passerby] What's Mr. Park doing here?

[sighs]

Incoming call

Hwain Park Kyungju

Hello, sir.

[Mr. Park] I hope you've been well.

I'm in Manila. We should catch up.

I heard you've been here

for over three months,

after what happened to Juhyuk.

[bystander 1 in Mandarin] Hey!

3 months ago

Tondo, Manila

Let's keep doing our best!

[bystander 1 groaning, whining]

[bystander 2] What was that?

Is he dead?

No.

Makati shopping district.

He'll be working alone.

[tense music playing]

[exhales deeply]

You should leave an hour later,

Director Oh.

Q2 and Q3 are still doing security checks

at the venue for the party tomorrow.

The rest of the team is at the airport

to escort Chairwoman Park.

We don't have anyone to guard you.

I'll be fine. It's just a simple errand.

I see.

-[elevator dings]

-If you say so.

[thrilling music playing]

Manila

Makati shopping district

[thrilling music playing]

-[in English] Hello and welcome.

-Hello.

-This way, please.

-Yes.

-The weather's beautiful today, isn't it?

-It is.

[background chatter]

[car door opens]

[suspenseful music]

[in Filipino]

No, stop!

[clown] Please don't be mad.

[in English]

Oh, my god!

[sighs]

[staff] This is the one

you ordered from Korea.

It's truly gorgeous.

Almost too beautiful to donate, isn't it?

My husband will buy it back

at the charity auction.

What a perfect husband.

Yes, he is.

[passerby in Korean] Ms. Oh Wansoo.

[Wansoo whimpering]

When I give you the signal,

run over to that car in the back.

Got that?

-Now!

-[g*nshots]

[g*nshots]

[expl*si*n]

[thrilling music playing]

[tires screeching]

[whimpering]

Stay down.

[car horns honking]

[suspenseful music playing]

[calm music playing]

[Wansoo breathing nervously]

We've made it out. You should be okay now.

[breathing heavily]

Are you hurt?

Who are you?

-[thudding]

-[Wansoo grunts]

[panting]

I'll find a safe place for us to park.

[Wansoo] I asked you who you were.

What happened to my security personnel?

I'm just a passerby.

What are you talking about?

I'm not one of them.

I really was just passing by.

You can stop worrying now.

[car door opens]

Track down the location of that car

and call the embassy

to request local police assistance.

[panting]

[tense music playing]

We won't be going back

into town right away.

Why is that?

I removed the GPS tracker

to lose anyone who may be tailing us.

Then what do we do now?

First, we should get out of here.

Where to?

The place I'm staying in is nearby.

Do you have a phone with you?

Call the police for me.

[sighs]

That might not be a good idea.

There could be people in the police

who are on their payroll.

We should get going.

They have likely tracked

our current location.

Let's get going then.

[thrilling music playing]

[music stops]

It's on the second floor.

Let's head inside.

Wait.

[Wansoo] You're bleeding a lot.

Shouldn't you see a doctor first?

I'll be fine. Let's go.

[soft music playing]

[keys jangling]

[lock clicks]

Don't worry. It's safe here.

[sighs]

Who is the person that wants you dead?

I should go. Thank you for saving me.

It's still dangerous.

I don't know who you are.

Move out of my way.

Calm down.

I promise that you'll be safe here.

[breathes nervously]

I'll drive you to the embassy.

Call whoever you can trust

and have them pick you up from there.

But don't tell them

your exact location just in case.

Just tell them you'll arrive

at the embassy in 15 minutes.

Here.

[passerby groans softly]

[exhales heavily]

[panting]

[groans]

[breathing sharply]

[groans]

[door opens]

[zipper opens]

-You need a doctor

-What about the call?

Did you call them yet?

[sighs]

I don't have anyone's number memorized.

I don't know anyone's number by heart.

That's fine.

I'll just drive you to the embassy then.

[sighs]

Wait.

Do you know me?

I don't think there's a single Korean

who doesn't know who you are.

You used to be a famous pro golfer.

Do you live in Manila?

No, I don't live here.

[tap water running]

You should wash your face.

[yelps]

[soft music playing]

Let's go.

[door opens]

Manila

Embassy of the Republic of Korea

[sighs]

Director Oh.

I'm not hurt.

There's nothing to worry about.

The ambassador will be here shortly.

And the witness?

[guard] He's in the other room,

writing his statement.

-Let's get her to a hospital first.

-[Mr. Park] Yes, sir.

-Reward him as you see fit, Mr. Park.

-Yes, sir.

We should get going.

Can you walk?

This way.

[Yongkook] You've got

so much blood on you.

[sighs]

Call off tomorrow's party.

I heard you received

a threat from !sis a few days ago.

How could you think of coming here

when it's so dangerous?

Let me get some shut-eye.

[sighs]

[knocks on door]

Thank you for your hard work.

I am the head of security

in charge of protecting Director Oh.

Hello.

May I ask you where the witness is?

He left a moment ago

saying that he was busy.

I see.

[Mr. Park] That must be his statement.

May I take a look at it?

Of course.

DYS, Seo Doyoon

"Seo Doyoon"?

-[chuckles]

-Yes. He was Korean.

He left as soon as he was done

writing the statement.

Hey, Doyoon. It's me.

You wrote that statement

at the embassy, didn't you?

[Doyoon] Yes, sir.

[in English] Okay.

[in Korean] Let's save the details

for when we meet.

We're still on for tonight, right?

Why don't we meet a little earlier?

Where are you now?

[Mr. Park] Hey, Doyoon.

[Mr. Park laughing]

It's been so long since I last saw you.

-I hope you've been well.

-Of course.

But what are you doing here in Manila?

I'm just getting by doing odd jobs.

-Why don't we sit down?

-Sure, let's do that.

[Mr. Park chuckles]

[horns honking in distance]

[calm music playing]

[knocks on door]

[phone buzzing]

It's Mother.

Yes, ma'am.

I just got out of the shower

and was going to see you.

-What did you say?

-I already told you I wouldn't do it.

[breathes deeply]

Then have your husband do it.

The party was called off

because of that darn t*rror1st attack,

so this is the least we could do

to get China to help us.

You can tell him yourself.

Tell him myself?

[glass clanks]

Are you trying

to order me around right now?

I refuse to take any part in this.

[sighs]

Is that so?

So you don't want to get

your precious hands a little dirty.

I won't call off the party.

-I'll prepare something else for them.

-Hey!

I've told you countless times that money

is the best way to get things done!

I refuse to bribe them myself.

Who are you trying to fool?

Should I get your brother in Seoul

to do it instead then?

I don't care who my brother

gave bribes to and when.

I know nothing about that.

You don't know, do you?

Do you think you're being

questioned by the prosecution?

It could backfire on us.

Why you

-Darn it. Hey!

-[unzips bag]

How much do you think this is?

How can this much money

make anything worse?

-[bills clatter]

-I will be attending the party tomorrow.

It might be best for you not to attend

if you're going to keep this up.

[Chairwoman Park] Hey!

Just do as you're told!

[Wansoo] It's my party.

Please don't embarrass me.

And don't come to the party.

If you do, I will refuse to do

any business with China in the future.

Hey!

I ought to

-[Chairwoman Park exclaims]

-Did something happen?

That insolent brat!

[door closes]

[breathing heavily]

[ominous music playing]

[glass clanks]

I want you

to have her k*lled.

[servant] Would you like another glass?

[wine sloshing]

[tense music playing]

-[doctor] Is everything ready?

-[nurse] Yes, Doctor.

[doctor] We'll confirm your identity

before we administer the anesthetic.

Please tell us

your name and your date of birth.

[Juhyuk] Shin Juhyuk. May 21, 1985.

[Doyoon] Seo Doyoon. September 4, 1985.

It will hurt, right?

[chuckles]

Thank you for giving me your kidney.

[doctor] Starting anesthesia.

Starting anesthesia.

[Juhyuk] I wouldn't mind giving you

anything of mine.

Put it to good use, all right?

Right. I can promise you this one thing.

If you ever end up

falling in danger,

I will put my life

on the line to protect you

-since I'm much better in a fight.

-[Juhyuk inhales deeply]

I'm starting to think

that you're being serious right now.

-I really mean it.

-[snickers]

Let's go grab a drink.

[Doyoon] Nonsense. It's only been a month

since our surgery.

[Juhyuk] It's been a whole month already.

Don't be such a wuss.

[Mr. Park] You should come back to Seoul

and help me out.

Director Oh could have died

if it weren't for you today.

Just thinking about it

sends shivers down my spine.

[Mr. Park chuckles]

We should work together

at the flower shop

Right. The company I work for.

"Flower shop" is what we call Hwain Group

for confidentiality reasons.

[assassin in Mandarin]

The flower shop delivery is complete.

[in Korean] Let's work together again

like the old days, Doyoon.

Thank you for the offer,

but I'll get back to you

after I give it some thought.

Okay.

Take your time, but call me

as soon as you make up your mind.

[suspenseful music playing]

Calling

Hwain Park Kyungju

Sir. It's me, Seo Doyoon.

I've managed to stop the press.

Did Chairwoman Park give you

that bag full of money?

I did. She told me to give it

to the Chinese ambassador.

You know you can't do that.

It's just business.

-It's my party.

-[Yongkook sighs]

Then you should hash it out with her.

Don't forget that I told you not to.

[sighs]

This is for today's press conference.

Have you included the email and the video

we received from !sis as I've instructed?

Yes, ma'am.

-Proceed.

-Yes, ma'am.

A press conference? Are you mad?

Do you plan on telling the whole world

that !sis has threatened to k*ll you?

You'll just provoke them.

I'm going to alert the press.

Is the foundation more important to you

than your own life?

Like you said,

this is a chance to let everyone know

just how much my work means to me.

[suspenseful music playing]

[in English]

Please go back.

Hey, go back, please.

[reporter 1 in Korean]

Is it true that you were blackmailed?

-Please look this way.

-[camera shutters clicking]

Was yesterday's attack related

to the terror threat you received?

Is it true that you received

death threats from !sis?

[in English]

What is the reported number of casualties?

[reporter 2] Do you have any specific

information about the suspect?

Is it true that you received

a cautionary email

before the t*rror1st attack happened?

[in Korean] Quiet, please.

We will now begin the press conference.

Hello, everyone. I'm Oh Wansoo.

First, I'd like to let everyone know

that I am safe and unharmed.

Let me start by telling you

what you want to know the most.

Because of my recent speech

in support of Ms. Balak,

who is part of an ethnic minority in Iraq,

and urging the World Court

that justice must be served,

it's true

that !sis has threatened me

with acts of terror.

[reporter 3] So it's true?

She says it's true.

But the assailant got away

and there was no evidence

to be found on the scene.

[Wansoo] Thankfully,

there weren't any casualties

save for a few security personnel

who were injured.

The investigation is still ongoing,

so I can't go into the details,

but I, Oh Wansoo

-Darn it!

-[remote control clatters]

Explain to me why she's holding

that press conference.

Who does she think she is to do that?

[Chairwoman Park] The nerve

How dare she hold a press conference?

Who does she think she is?

"I, Oh Wansoo"?

That brat

I, Oh Wansoo, hereby announce

that I won't stop working to build

a better future for those in need

even if there are threats of terrorism

made against my life.

[camera shutters clicking]

Evil must not go unpunished.

I will fight until the end.

[suspenseful music playing]

Did !sis send you

any more threats since the attack?

[in English] How severe

are the injuries of the bodyguards?

What's your plan for the future

in your fight against !sis?

[reporter 4 in Korean]

How will this affect Hwain Group?

Please wait your turn

before asking questions.

[in English]

I'm Steve Peltz from DNN.

What are your thoughts on

expecting further retaliation from !sis?

[guest] Wansoo.

-[kid] Auntie.

-[Wansoo] Hi, Junhee.

-Did you eat yet?

-[Junhee] Not yet.

[chuckles]

Thank you for inviting us to the party.

It's nothing, really.

[Wansoo] You're getting

more handsome by the day.

What do you think?

It's gorgeous.

Are you enjoying your meal?

Yes, Auntie.

Enjoy your meal.

[Junhee] Okay.

[water sloshing]

[kid] Mom!

Chanhee!

[laughs]

[soft music playing]

[bystander] This is no time

for you to be going skiing with your kid.

[Chanhee] Don't go, Mom.

Come skiing with me.

I want to go skiing with you.

[Wansoo] Don't cry, Chanhee.

I'll be back before you know it.

You'll be fine without me.

[guest] Wansoo.

Yes?

Are you sure you're okay?

I was too out of it yesterday

to even realize what had happened.

You could have died.

I know.

Will you be okay later?

I'm fine now.

I'm so relieved to hear that.
