It may be true that in emulating past generations, we evaded some laws.
But a new era has arrived.
It's my belief that my generation must reject such practices.
I'm also aware there are suspicions concerning my inheritance.
I am prepared to accept impartial judgment on this matter.
You're so full of shit...
...to accept both the burden and the glory of my position.
As the CEO of this conglomerate, I've never shied away from this duty.
He looks good. But still...
We've been watched at our home,
and after hiding in a hotel for days, now he's on national TV.
-Shouldn't you have done something? -Our apologies.
I thought someone would step up and take responsibility for this.
I am terribly disappointed.
This is why you'll always be salarymen.
Our shame aside, his manner was impeccable today.
It's not much of a blow to him.
-He's a winner. -Enough. I set this up.
-Hello, Robert. -Good morning, sir. -Go. Go!
Why'd he come all the way here?
-His company must be in an uproar. -Hi, Robert!
I saw the news on the way. What the hell's going on?
Don't worry. Everything is under my control.
Let me just say one thing.
If Chul is prosecuted for any reason the deal is over, nullified. Void, got it?
It has nothing to do with our deal. No, nothing.
Yes, Yoon Kyung-sun speaking. It's an honor to receive your call.
We're watching it now. Thank you very much.
My boy should be out before dinner.
-He said not to worry. -Who was that?
How do you say it in English?
Just say, "a very, very important person".
It's from very, very important person, you know?
Armand de Brignac. Courtesy of my grandfather.
-Grandfather... Thank you sir. -My pleasure, Robert. Enjoy!
What did the prosecutor say?
Picking up a $200 billion company with $6 million from grandfather and not a cent out of my pocket...
Pay a little bit of tax... Wouldn't work in the States, huh?
Are you kidding? You'd go to jail for that.
They're more understanding in Korea. The legal issues will be solved soon.
I don't know, Chul. My company's pretty worried about this.
Don't worry. It'll all get resolved.
You know why?
The law and the people in the law are all in his pocket.
Think of the money politicians have taken from grandpa over the years.
Not only that, he was robbed of his company, and humiliated.
In this country, politicians, men in power, they are all third-rate gangsters.
But Korea's improved a lot, hasn't it?
Improved, my ass. Who knows what the future holds.
Let's say we sell out to US financiers, because of succession problems.
I'd get mountains of cash, but what about the company?
Would it be run rationally?
They'd skim off the cream, then the company'd go bankrupt.
-Can you imagine Korea without us? -Impossible.
But if you do decide to sell, give me a first option.
Your capital in the West wasn't earned legitimately either.
It's all from colonization, the slave trade, exploitation of labor... Let's be honest here.
You are perfectly right, madam.
With enough time, I could've done the right thing here.
I just need a decent partner among the political elite.
The problem is, they're all hicks or grave robbers.
That Robert...he's a fox.
The best.
Don't screw up this time. Grandpa is watching you.
Could I give Young-jak a job to do?
You first!
Then you.
I'm not a greedy person, but if you insist...
-Help yourself. -Thank you, sir.
-Done? -Yes, sir.
Forget it. Let's go.
Leaving so soon?
Let's have some fun tonight, mister.
I, uh...Sorry. I'm not at that level yet.
Take care.
