[bunniefuu]

THIS DRAMA IS PURELY FICTIONAL

AND IS NOT ASSOCIATED WITH

ACTUAL PEOPLE, INCIDENTS, ASSOCIATIONS,

OR LOCATIONS

We all know that Ha Chan-h* has

a f*cked up temper.

Tell Seo Jeong-hwa that's not important

Here's what's important.

We need to make sure Ha Chan-h*

never finds out about her and Ha Jun-h*.

Never.

Let's talk later.

Is it expensive?

Here's my business card.

If you want,

you can file a claim for damages.

What just happened?

PARTNER JUNG GEUM-JA

EPISODE 9

Did something happen?

You hung up all of a sudden.

How much does a dress shirt

from Dalentino cost?

Dalentino?

It costs about a million won.

Is it for a new target or something?

Did Yoon Hee-jae come by?

No, why would he come

so early in the morning?

Okay, then.

By any chance,

is the dress shirt for Mr. Yoon?

Ji-eun.

You've become extremely imaginative

after we started working at Song & Kim.

I don't like expensive dress shirts.

You might be surprised,

but I keep a reasonable spending pattern.

-It is a surprise.

-Did you go home safely last night?

How's your hangover?

A brand name dress shirt.

Last night. Hangover.

Are they back together?

What happened last night

I mean, what we did last night

We're both adults,

and what we did wasn't weird.

It was just impulsive.

Plus, we've been

extremely stressed these days.

Did something happen

between us last night?

I had a drink, went home,

slept well, and woke up feeling fresh

just like any other day.

Well

No, nothing happened.

I just wanted to check.

If you're done, I'm going to go now.

I need to write up a case report.

Why are you so bothered by last night?

Just relax.

It wasn't even that memorable anyway.

Forget what I just said.

-Jung Geum-ja speaking.

-Yoon Hee-jae speaking.

This is the case

I want you guys to work on.

"AP EON"?

The international investment company

that's worth 50 trillion won?

That's right. This is an important case,

so focus on this first.

Is this

an official order?

Are you questioning the procedure?

Because I'm the one

who's giving you this case?

Yes.

I guess I've been away for too long.

Do I need to follow

some kind of a procedure

before I give out cases

to my employees now?

By any chance, are you asking me

if I received permission or approval

from Mr. Song?

I'm mistaken, right?

You're obviously smart enough

to know better.

It's nice.

What happened?

Should I call for a laundry service?

-We meet again.

-Yes.

I'm sorry

-I just left this morning.

-"Morning"?

-You know each other?

-Yes, kind of.

I'm Kevin Jung, the branch manager

of AP EON Korea.

-Oh, right.

-I'm Yoon Hee-jae,

a partner at Song & Kim.

He's the co-supervisor of our team.

He's very laid back and relaxed.

-I'm Jung Geum-ja.

-Hi.

This is quite a nice start.

It looks like you guys are done

introducing yourselves to each other.

Kevin, would you like to give them

a briefing yourself?

Gnosis Medical.

It used to be Daesol Medical,

but they changed the company name

three years ago.

The CEO is Han Gi-won.

And he used to be a sales director

at Daesol Medical.

They have a few patents.

The most representative one is Vector5,

the core substance

of a sedative called Octoperson.

So what is it that we need to do?

AP EON Korea is very interested in Gnosis.

We want to carry out an M&A,

and we'd like Song & Kim to do it for us.

We only have one condition.

Up until the M&A takes place,

we want our company's existence

to be kept confidential.

But why Song & Kim?

Isn't AP EON more experienced

than Song & Kim

when it comes to M&A?

Why don't they do it?

I'm sure things work differently here.

We figured Song & Kim would be better

since you're more aware

of how things work in Korea.

Do they want to take over Gnosis

by finding their weakness

and using it against them?

Without getting their hands dirty?

Gnosis isn't even a great company.

Why are they so obsessed to take over?

It shows a promising future,

so we want to take over

and contribute

in turning it into a global firm.

Does that answer your question?

Thank you for your honest answer.

We may be a global private equity firm,

but it's not always about the money.

Keep in mind that from this moment on,

this needs to be kept confidential.

If you leak anything regarding AP EON

and end up causing them damage,

you'll have to spend

the rest of your life and career

paying off an unimaginable amount

of compensation.

And of course,

Song & Kim will be the one suing you.

Gosh, that's frightening.

Do you think we should bug this place?

But do we really need to accept this case?

This case

was given to us

by Ms. Kim Min-joo herself.

And to make sure

we get things done quickly,

I hired an investigator for our team.

If you need anything, please tell Ji-eun.

Tell that person to look into Han Gi-won

as fast as possible.

-Who's the investigator?

-Not your business.

How can we trust that person?

I'll take full responsibility.

Gosh, she's so charismatic.

You can go ahead and tell them what to do.

Are you going somewhere?

I need to go do my job.

Darn it.

A global CEO managing service?

Don't you know what it is?

I heard it's been

getting a positive response.

Kevin just came to Korea,

so I figured your team could be in charge.

You guys can help him

while you work on the case.

I won't file a lawsuit.

Instead, I'd like Ms. Jung to be in charge

of the managing service.

Call me anytime you need my service.

I'll turn you into a native Korean.

I can't wait.

Hey, Min-joo.

You must be coming from somewhere.

Yes, I had a breakfast meeting.

I heard you gave the AP EON Case

to Team H.

Did you bug my office?

I'm kidding.

But is there a problem with that?

You should've discussed it with me.

They're still on the previous VIP Case.

Pil-jung, don't you think

you're too focused on the big picture?

AP EON is a private equity firm

that's worth 50 trillion won.

How many VIPs do we have

that's bigger in size and more important?

Let's say I discussed it,

and you had a problem with it.

Then would you have turned them down?

I agree that they're an important client.

I don't deny that.

But there's a process--

You created that process

without even asking for my approval.

Do you have anything more to say?

If not, I'll be off now.

Hee-jae, listen.

I heard some crazy things

about Kevin Jung from AP EON.

What do you mean?

You know me.

I already found out a lot about him.

He's one of the top five Asians

on Wall Street.

He has a high M&A success

and earnings rate, he's influential,

and he makes a fortune.

-He's practically perfect.

-Hey,

at the end of the day,

he's just a foreigner.

He's just a white shark

who's after nothing else but money.

But seriously, where do you get

all that useless information?

I wonder if Ms. Jung

would also think the same way.

I saw his photo, and he was very handsome.

It's obvious what will happen.

He's a divorcé but single.

She'll be managing him,

so they'll be together all day.

If things suddenly get hot between them,

things will develop very quickly

because of their age.

Hey!

Gosh, you startled me. What?

Do you have nothing better to do?

I purposely made time to tell you--

Yes, Mr. Song.

Okay, sir.

As you can see, I'm busy.

Enjoy your break.

He really has a nasty personality.

How are things these days?

-What do you--

-How are things with Ms. Jung?

I guess we're doing okay.

Have you figured anything out

regarding the case you got from Min-joo?

No, things are still very unclear.

Would you like me

to report to you separately?

If there is

something I really need to know,

I'll ask you then. Is that okay?

Yes, let me know whenever you need me.

Hee-jae.

Who do you think

is the owner of Song & Kim?

That's such an unexpected question.

Well, it's obvious.

The firm belongs to you, sir.

You think so?

A new era will soon begin.

I'm not happy that such trivial issues

keep getting in the way of things.

I'm just being honest.

Are you free for dinner tonight?

HERIGE NURSING HOME

Let's go inside.

Mr. Song.

Congressman Lee.

I guess I came right on time.

This is Attorney Yoon Hee-jae.

And this is Congressman Lee In-yeop.

He's going to do great things.

It's nice to meet you, sir.

I've always had great respect

for your father.

It's nice to meet you.

You brought along someone very competent.

Are you finally going to make amendments

to the inheritance tax law?

Let's talk inside. Come on.

PATIENT: KIM MIN-JEONG

Come sit down.

-You're all here.

-Long time no see.

-We're not late, are we?

-No.

Say hello to everyone.

He's the next ace of Song & Kim.

And he's both my right and left arm.

Hello, everyone.

I'm Yoon Hee-jae, a partner at Song & Kim.

Go ahead and sit down.

Okay, sir.

-It's nice to see you.

-Yes.

My son

I mean

The CEO of D&T has told me

a lot about you.

Let me pour you a drink.

I heard your father is

a Supreme Court Justice.

Yes.

He's practically like a son to me.

I hope you remember him

and use him for great things.

-Yes, of course.

-Sure.

Okay, everyone. Let's all drink.

-Sure.

-Here.

Let me pour you a glass.

Min-jeong.

It's me, Min-joo.

I'm sorry I never called.

She missed the golden hour.

If she was treated faster,

she would've regained her consciousness.

What happened that day?

You were at home with Pil-jung.

How

did you end up like this?

-Anything in their financial statements?

-Well

I've never seen

such a clean financial statement.

From how I see it, it's completely clean.

It's not big enough

for a global private equity firm

to carry out an M&A.

Their only achievement

is the development of Octoperson.

Other than that,

they have nothing in particular.

Let me take a look at the files.

"Octoperson."

Gnosis received a patent for this,

and it's their main product, right?

Yes, but it got withdrawn

as soon as they started selling it

because of side effects.

What? What kind of side effects?

Facial palsy, cranial nerve palsy,

and so on.

They lost their one and only hope.

But they're still

refusing to sell the company?

I know, right?

It's hard to understand, isn't it?

ATTORNEY JUNG GEUM-JA

Find a famous Korean restaurant

in Hannam-dong.

Korean restaurant. Got it.

How is the house?

It's jaw-dropping.

I think we should go with this one.

It's the last one left in the market

Is he your cute son?

Will he affect our future?

That depends on what kind of future it is.

It's not too bad.

-You--

-It's our family tradition.

We make sure our kids learn Korean.

What's your name?

Philip?

Now that we're on the subject,

can I ask you a favor?

He needs to enroll

in a Korean school today.

But I'm not familiar

with the system in Korea.

Don't worry about that.

I'm a pro when it comes

to transferring schools.

I used to transfer schools

once every two years.

That's a relief.

Okay.

I sent you a list of Korean restaurants

near Hannam-dong.

-The grilled halibut--

-Change of plans.

Find me something that kids usually like.

What?

Okay, got it. I'll send you a new list.

Okay, bye.

-Where is Ms. Jung?

-Well, the thing is

By any chance,

did she go to Kevin Jung's house?

Mr. Yoon.

You see, I don't care

what everyone else says.

I still like you no matter what.

What can I help you with?

-What?

-Where is Ms. Jung?

Right.

Hey, Mr. Na. It's me.

Meet me at the parking lot

with the documents you prepared.

Are you Jung Philip's mother?

No, she's just

You must be the homeroom teacher

for class 2-1.

You look very kind.

I tend to hear that a lot.

And just like what I heard,

the school is very impressive too.

We have the best facility.

Our students' parents

are in the top one percent

or somewhere near that percentage.

Yes, I know. The top one percent.

That goes for both the parents

and teachers.

-Please follow me.

-Okay, let's go.

-What we're doing right now

-Pardon?

It's essential

to share this with her, right?

I'm not sure.

You're not sure?

Mr. Na, let me ask you one more time.

I want you to think about it carefully

-and give me an honest answer.

-Okay.

Who's your direct supervisor?

-Ms. Jung Geum-ja.

-That's right.

You found something new.

Or at least, you might.

What should you do as a team member?

-I should report it to Ms. Jung.

-That's correct.

But you have no authority to visit her

by yourself. What do you do then?

It's a good idea to go with someone

who does have authority.

But in a way, I might be overreacting.

She's a team supervisor,

but she doesn't even answer her calls!

That's why you're

going to see her yourself!

This is all very natural.

-Don't you agree?

-Well, I guess.

-Listen to me.

-But it is a little weird.

AP EON is a global equity firm,

and Gnosis is a very small company.

But then again, what would I know?

Do you know what the problem is

with your attitude?

-Pardon?

-You're always too vague.

You should have confidence

in your opinion.

You may be an associate,

but you work at Song & Kim.

-Do you understand?

-Yes, sir.

Let me ask you once again.

What we're doing is natural, right?

-Yes.

-That's right.

This is a very natural thing to do.

WHAT CAN I HELP YOU WITH?

Directions.

Where is your destination?

Sanseong Global Elementary School.

DESTINATION:

SANSEONG GLOBAL ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

Navigation commencing.

I was reading through the files,

and I couldn't seem to understand why.

-My goodness.

-What?

I know this is a VIP managing service,

but isn't it a bit too much

to follow his kid to school?

Why are you here?

That's what I want to know.

Well, here's what I couldn't understand.

Why would a huge firm like AP EON

want to take over Gnosis?

I just don't get it.

Do we really need to talk about that now?

Right here? Right now? Seriously?

If we don't want to waste our energy,

we need to take the right approach.

I feel like that's the main point.

If we miss the main point

and take the wrong step,

we might end up digging our own graves.

You know that.

You could've called--

You never answer your phone!

I'm sorry.

I guess I asked your colleague

to help me with something too private.

You don't need to apologize.

This is all part of the work.

I actually admire it.

The Korean comradeship.

-I'll be careful from now on.

-Thank you

for being reasonable enough to accept

my reasonable comment.

Mr. Yoon.

The Yoon Hee-jae I know used to be

laid back and relaxed.

Do you know where he went?

I was starting to like that guy.

See you again.

Where are you?

Gosh

I understand you were angry,

but how could you do this?

-Do you even know what happened?

-What?

If you have no idea, stay out of this.

We'll sort it out between ourselves.

How could you say that

after breaking your friend's arm?

I'll take care of the treatment costs.

You said you're a lawyer.

Children under the age of 13

are not even prosecuted.

-What?

-What's going on?

What are you doing here? We're so busy.

Why are you meddling in kids' fight?

-Are you

-Yes, I am.

Lee Woo-jin, the son of Lee Eun-chang,

Woojin Apparel's CEO.

Right?

-Don't you know who I am?

-I sure do.

-Attorney Yoon, my dad's minion.

-What?

Did you do this?

Is it okay to admit to it

in front of all you guys?

-Hyo-min!

-Mr. Kim, I'm here.

Hyo-min, what happened?

He hurt his arm. Carry him on your back.

-Yes, sir.

-Take him. Hyo-min, go see a doctor.

Lee Woo-jin.

What are you? A thug?

Brace yourself. We won't let this one go.

Sure, do whatever you want.

My lawyer is right here.

You work at Song & Kim, right?

What the--

Yes. I am, but--

You know Song & Kim, right?

Is that so? Hold on a second.

I know a Song & Kim lawyer too.

Hello?

Hello, Mr. Ma.

It's me, Mr. Kim from Arihan Beauty.

Mr. Yoon.

Is he talking to the Mr. Ma that we know?

Isn't it actually a good thing?

We've always wanted

to teach them a lesson.

Who knew such an opportunity

would present itself?

Use this opportunity to remind them

of your position within the firm.

Show those arrogant pricks,

Yoon Hee-jae and Team H included.

Mr. Choo.

Do you think there can be a winner

in this fight?

Pardon?

It'll be like a family feud.

What do you think that means?

Neither side

should suffer fatal damage, then.

Nevertheless, I guess I could

teach him a lesson this once.

Out of love,

as his senior colleague and superior.

I shall show him that I'm the one

holding the knife and that acting like

a crazy bull will only get him butchered.

Sorry, Woo-jin.

I had to go to the washroom.

You took off again?

Have you lost your mind?

Shall I tell Dad

and get you fired for real?

Woo-jin.

Hey, are you okay?

Do I look okay to you now?

You really get on my nerves.

I should get you fired.

Woo-jin.

That's rude.

He's a lot older than you, you know.

It's not like I forced him to serve me.

Are you a fogey?

What? A fogey?

TEAM H MEETING NOTICE

We have a meeting

regarding the AP EON Case.

You should head back to the office first.

Tell me what happened.

So you broke your friend's arm

just because you were in a bad mood?

No other reason?

I punched him once

because I was pissed off.

He broke the arm because he fell on it.

And you don't feel bad at all?

Not even one bit?

-I mean, you two are friends.

-He and I?

Mister, do you seriously think

that he's at my level?

Why do you think he's not at your level?

His grandfather worked for my family

as a servant. Are we good now?

How about you just apologize

to Hyo-min and--

Mr. Park, pull over.

I actually have to go somewhere.

You need to earn a living,

so I'll tell you the real reason.

I just

punched him because I was pissed off.

Happy now?

Jeez.

-Yoon Hee-jae speaking.

-This is Lee Eun-chang.

-Hello, sir.

-I heard about what happened.

You probably met my son already.

Yes, I sure did.

CEO LEE EUN-CHANG

You see,

I don't want to get involved

in a kids' fight.

But on the other hand,

I don't want to lose.

I completely understand, sir.

-I totally trust you, Mr. Yoon.

-But please

return to Song & Kim if this goes well.

We can discuss that

after seeing how things go.

This is Han Gi-won, the CEO of Gnosis.

Okay.

You're not late for a change.

Did we find anything on Han Gi-won?

No. Nothing on his family members either.

How's the company doing?

It almost went bankrupt

due to the side effects of Octoperson,

but a minor investment firm abroad

is now its majority shareholder,

so it could avoid bankruptcy.

I haven't really heard any rumors.

Their stock isn't actively traded.

I feel like it's what

the majority shareholder wants.

Anything about their law firm?

-Mr. Na, what about you?

-Well

Based on what I've reviewed so far,

there isn't anything notable.

-However

-However,

it's too small of a pie

for AP EON to go after,

so we must get to the bottom of it.

I keep trying to point out

what the real problem is,

but Ms. Jung just isn't getting it

because she's too busy

dealing with other stuff.

You're one to talk.

Have you ever heard that expression?

ATTORNEY MA SEOK-GU

Yes, go ahead.

ARIHAN BEAUTY

As you all know, we're here to hopefully

arrive at a reasonable settlement--

Let's just get to the point.

Let's get started.

As you're probably aware,

if this goes public,

people will criticize the company owners

of both Woojin Apparel and Arihan.

I don't know.

We're the victim here. Will the public

actually criticize us or pity us?

I can't quite predict yet.

What are you talking about?

Both parties are mutually at fault.

Mr. Yoon, you're too naive.

"Mutually at fault"? Come on.

Hyo-min broke his arm.

The Criminal Code states--

He's a juvenile delinquent.

Let's not waste each other's time

by blowing things out of proportion.

It was just a kids' fight. Shouldn't we

let them talk it out between themselves?

For their own sakes.

We want an official apology.

That we can promise you right here.

On the front pages

of the three major newspapers.

Mr. Ma, are you really going to do this?

What can I do?

We, lawyers, must comply

with our clients' wishes.

Tell us what it is that you really want.

Let's not drag things out.

You should've paid more attention

to disciplining your son better.

Your son is like a thug.

-Hey, g*ng Seung-muk.

-What?

You think the world is a rosy place

because you sell makeup.

You've got a lot of f*cking nerve.

You're the CEO of the company.

Look at you with your sailor's mouth.

-How ignorant.

-I guess you forgot.

Your father was like my family's servant.

Know your place.

A servant? He was the CEO

of one of the subsidiaries!

For God's sake.

You know what? I'm done.

I refuse to settle. I'll take this

to the Supreme Court--

The Supreme Court?

Sure, do it.

Do you think that will scare me?

If you can't apologize

the way we'd like you to

In other words,

if you don't want this to go public,

let's try to be

a little creative.

Mr. g*ng.

Here's what I want.

The site in Myanmar, where Woojin plans

to build the biggest warehouse in Asia.

Sell it to us.

We'll pay half the market price.

Jeez, it's not like I can understand

a barking dog by taking it seriously.

No further negotiations.

Unless you want your and your son's names

in the news headlines,

you'd better think wisely.

I'll be off, then.

Take good care of this, Mr. Yoon.

Oh, boy.

I'm touched.

Look at you trying so hard

to win back a lost client.

Anyway,

I'll remember this.

Do you know to whom Ms. Kim Min-joo

assigned the first case she got

upon returning to Song & Kim?

Why don't you work on being acknowledged

by your boss first?

Please consider this a sincere word

of advice from your junior colleague.

One more thing for you

to remember.

A kids' fight can indeed turn into a w*r

when parents get involved.

Now that they're involved,

things won't get better.

See if you can find anything

about the kids.

-About their relationship, for example.

-Me?

Then should I do it?

When there's a problem you can't solve,

you should try facing it head-on.

Let's go to Gnosis.

Me?

I need a partner who's good

at improvisational acting.

Who can go with the flow

and knows what to say.

You're talking to the right person, then.

Let's go to Gnosis.

Why do lawyers from such a big law firm

like Song & Kim need to speak with me?

By the way, who's this gentleman here?

He's our CFO.

He can join us.

I see, he's the CFO.

We'd love you to be our client.

If you decide to hire us,

we'll do our very best.

Is this your sales pitch?

There are 500 lawyers at Song & Kim alone.

Did you hear about the situation

lawyers are facing at the moment?

Honestly, it's crazy.

So many lawyers don't even make

five million won a month.

And it's not like those of us

at Song & Kim are an exception.

I've been in sales for two decades,

so I'm very quick-witted.

Even if it's struggling, Song & Kim

won't operate like a corner store.

Gosh, a corner store? Of course not.

We're receiving M&A offers left and right.

I suppose you're here

because of that thing.

It sounds like you already know,

so we'll stop beating around the bush.

I promise you that we'll get you

the amount that you can be satisfied with.

From what I know, this is finished.

Do you know

what Octoperson's main ingredient is?

Do you know how many people

sacrificed their lives to complete it?

That's how it was developed,

but it was banned

only five months after it hit the market.

I will get the ban lifted no matter what.

I have no interest in selling the company,

so go tell them.

God saved this company.

Therefore, only God will decide

whether or not it'll go down.

Please leave.

Okay.

So for now,

I'll assume you're not interested.

I think we're pretty screwed now that

I've seen what we're dealing with.

But we got something out of that meeting.

The CFO!

A CFO in his 20s.

Don't you think it's worth looking into?

And Octoperson too.

I'll leave it in your hands.

What?

Come on. You obviously have

a natural talent for it.

Hold on. Wait.

You're done for the day soon, right?

Check out the bars in the area.

I'm sure you'll find out something.

-You can do it!

-Wait, Ms. Jung.

Ms. Jung, wait

Ms. Jung

-Come on.

-Nice. Let's go.

-Hi, kids. Can I ask you something?

-What the heck?

-Let's hurry.

-Come on. Let's go.

-Bye.

-Bye.

-Bye!

-See you.

Can I ask you something?

Do you attend

Sanseong Global Elementary School?

Yes.

First of all, thanks.

Do you know anything about

Lee Woo-jin or g*ng Hyo-min?

-I don't know them, but

-Yes?

But?

Their teacher was fired

right after the year began.

GNOSIS

MEDICAL CO., LTD

PORK RIND

-Hello?

-Mr. Kim, it's me.

-Hey, Mr. Ga.

-Is everyone at the office?

I'm going to need some backup.

All right. We'll be right there.

Grab your jackets.

We have somewhere to be.

Who is it?

May I help you?

LAWYER NA I-JUN

The pork rinds are to die for.

Stop filling your stomach

and brainstorm some ideas.

I'm trying.

You can't get the deposit back

on the house?

What can I do

when the landlord won't give it back?

What will you do?

No idea. I'd rather just k*ll myself.

There's a way

to get back your deposit.

What the hell? Were you eavesdropping?

-I'm a lawyer.

-A lawyer?

-At Song & Kim.

-Song & Kim?

LAWYER BOO HYEON-A

What exactly is your landlord claiming?

Please don't be alarmed.

We're all lawyers at Song & Kim.

You may take your time.

I'm only telling you this because

you're Woo-jin's lawyers.

Sure.

I see you're here all alone.

Why are you looking at us like that?

We only came over to drink milk with you.

Don't you like milk?

You should drink this and get taller.

At the beginning of the semester,

about five to six boys

started bullying a classmate.

Who was the boy being bullied?

Was it perhaps Woo-jin?

How did you learn about this?

Someone sent me a video.

Whoever it was must've felt terrible

to watch the bullying go on.

Here.

You didn't take any measures

even after seeing this video?

I confronted Woo-jin,

but he claimed that

there wasn't any bullying.

I even showed him this video,

but he told me

to mind my own business.

He was going to take care of it.

Why

So I'll tell you the real reason.

I just punched him

because I was pissed off.

Because asking for help is the same

as acknowledging that he's weak.

I confronted the bullies

including Hyo-min,

but I was fired soon after that.

How can that be grounds for a dismissal?

Coming up with a reason to fire me

is easy for them.

The kids who go to that school

have some powerful parents.

They're the mini versions

of their parents.

The law supports the one

who provided for the other.

-So submit

-Get a copy of

your medical report from that day.

If they turn you down

You can ask for alimony.

-Really?

-Have the court seize

his salary or real estate.

Hold on. What was it that you said?

T something.

Trinity.

Don't you know about it?

The order's been expanding like crazy.

Isn't it a cult though?

Jeez, you shouldn't say that

about the company's largest shareholder.

-Let me pour you a glass.

-Oh, right.

Thanks.

Two almond pretzels with cream cheese

-and two cups of lemonade.

-Sure.

The trump card is in our hands.

-But Mr. Yoon.

-What is it?

It looks like we'll win,

so I don't know

why I'm not happy about it.

-Listen up.

-Yes, sir.

You're a lawyer

at none other than Song & Kim.

Are you pissed off about

cleaning up after rich, spoiled brats?

I can't say it's ideal.

Then think about what you achieved.

We live in a world where

a single post online

can ruin the value of a company.

Focus on what you saved.

Understand?

Yes.

Eat up, then.

The team leader

doesn't have her head in the game

and the members of the team

are dealing with hangovers.

This is how you all are

when the case is still at a dead-end?

Nicely done, everyone.

You're the one who's busy wrapped up

in a fight between kids,

Mr. Yoon.

A fight between kids?

You did not seriously say that.

Those kids are sons of CEOs.

They are our future clients!

Then go back to drawing

your future with crayons

rather than barging in here

just to bring the mood down.

Mr. Ga was just about to

share his new discovery.

-A new discovery?

-Trinity.

The true but hidden owner of Gnosis.

I should've caught on

the moment CEO Han mentioned God.

Gnosis is a Latin word

that means spiritual cognition.

The name of the company was a giveaway.

I should've been able

to find out its true owner.

The list of shareholders

only included the CEO,

employees, and a foreign equity firm.

There was nothing linking them.

That's the power of religion.

Easy to congregate

but secretive.

The investors from the foreign equity firm

are probably worshipers too.

So what should be our next step?

We need a critical blow

that will question the order's morality.

Like the ill*gal distribution

of Octoperson?

Make plans with Kevin Jung

at an unexpected place

that would give me the leg-up.

And they believe in all sorts of religions

like Protestantism, Buddhism,

-and Catholicism.

-What are you watching?

-Even Protestants have many sects.

-The woman's convincing.

-And they call each other a cult.

-It's Baek Hee-jun,

-the true owner of Gnosis

-They have severe fights too.

and the leader of Trinity.

Must we all fight to win then?

What are the real reasons

of such conflicts?

Did God ever say that

he'd take the side of the winner?

No, it's due to this.

This.

Money.

It's a transfer agreement.

Sign it

and hand over the construction site.

TRANSFER OF FACILITY AND BUSINESS

Good. You're making the right choice.

It's good for you too

to have the case end here.

If this went public

Well, I wouldn't want

to be alive for that.

Don't you agree, Mr. Yoon?

Mr. Yoon,

must I really sign this?

No.

There's no need for that.

I'm afraid the tables have turned.

What the hell do you think you're doing?

I see you're here all alone.

Why are you looking at us like that?

Smile. The others will think

we're picking on you.

-Don't you like milk?

-What's wrong?

We only came over to drink milk with you.

Get taller.

I'm sure you're aware

of how scary public sentiment can be.

I hear that having a controversial owner

carries more weight

than even embezzlement.

If this were to perhaps

be uploaded on social media

It'll spread across the nation

in less than 24 hours.

Gosh, did you hear that?

Must I explain

how things will go from here?

AGREEMEN

Mr. Yoon, you delivered

just like you always do.

You never disappoint.

Like I promised,

I'll have Song & Kim represent me now.

-Where's my warm welcome?

-Before that,

check the recording I sent you.

I don't get why you bother living.

If I were you, I'd just k*ll myself.

Lazy and poor.

I feel bad for your kids

for having you as a parent.

-Don't you agree?

-Woo-jin.

Don't you dare call me like that.

You filthy animal.

I'll have you fired!

-What's this?

-Did you know about this?

Mr. Yoon!

Now that I'm representing you again,

I'll be managing all risks.

Please get a hold of this matter

before your son becomes a liability.

Will you solve any issues we might have

with his driver?

Of course.

And your son?

Right, well

I'll make sure this never happens again.

Good job.

Hi, Mr. Yoon.

Here.

I feel like we crossed the bridge.

Am I right?

Then tell me everything.

Don't leave anything out.

Why do you really want to buy Gnosis?

You want me off this case?

This is me telling you

that I won't be a pawn in your chess game.

Are you that curious?

The main ingredient of Octoperson.

-Vector5?

-Yes, Vector5.

It's patented by Gnosis.

Well,

like Viagra, it has a better effect on

another particular illness

than the one it's meant to treat.

And what's that?

Dementia.

Dementia?

But Gnosis doesn't know

Not yet.

So?

Carry on. I'd love to hear this too.

So Vector5

stimulates the brains

of dementia patients.

What's next?

Mr. Yoon.

Yoon Hee-jae!

Let's leave her alone

when she's trying to get her work done.

You two might end up

getting married at this rate.

Do you have feelings for Ms. Jung?

I'm It's just for work.

The drug Gnosis patented

can be used to treat dementia.

They weren't after Gnosis.

-Gnosis is just the bait.

-You're only half right.

These days,

I'm learning new things about you.

You're very emotional these days.

It's not like you.

We should meet Baek Un-mi first.

I was wondering who you might be.

So you're just a lawyer?

A little while ago, I met your child.

Un-mi is deceiving all of you.

-You crazy b*tch.

-How did you know that about me?

And like you, I lived through hell too.

-Are you Mr. Yoon Hee-jae?

-Do you know me?

I will keep that promise

if it's the last thing I do.

Please tell me about Jung Geum-ja's past.
