Miss Ripley
Episode 4
Here, have a cup of coffee.
Ah. Thank you.
- Oh! Are you okay? - Ah. Hold on a minute. Hand me that.
- Please zoom in on that. - Yes.
Is it someone you know?
Yes.
What are you saying?
What is this planning team?
Oh, it's like this.
Didn't you already let everything go and study abroad?
If you don't know how to take care of others, you should apply the things you've learned.
I'll still do it again.
Listen to me.
Although you're not very familiar with these things right now,
- but in the end... - Ah, I don't want to.
Do you think I'm interested in hotel planning, which is why you're telling me this right now?
Oppa, why are you talking when you don't know what I actually want to do,
or do you not know at all?
Of course I know.
- I know, but... - Don't think because I live at your house...
that it means I will listen to everything you say.
There are things I want to do!
Other than these plans, I have no interest in anything else.
Therefore, you're going figure this out on your own, alright?
- Hey, don't be like that. - Ah, forget it.
Stop talking nonsense now, and hold this bucket for me.
We'll be spending all night on this if you keep talking.
Hey! Moon Hee Joo!
Ah... it seems I will be hearing more lectures...
Huh?
It's nothing. Come on in.
There's a guest here.
Wait a minute.
What is that noise?
Oh, nothing...
Hello.
What is it?
You two know each other?
Yeah.
Hey!
Let me help you clean it.
Let me take a look.
- The wound is pretty deep. - No, I'm alright.
We'll need some gauze.
I'll go get it.
He'll be back soon.
What is it? Is something wrong?
No, that's not it.
Your... clothes...
Oh, right. There was an event earlier.
An event...
Oh. You must be from the sales department, right?
Oh. I do just about everything. It's my first time...
Ah. Newcomer.
I still can't believe it.
I was still being driven out by the company just yesterday,
and unexpectedly, I'm riding in the director's car now.
I'm really sorry about last time.
You came all the way to the room to find me.
I was too excited at that time.
I sincerely apologize.
You made up for it today.
By that, you mean that if everything goes well,
then everything will be forgiven?
I meant that everything ended up with good results but there's no other meaning to it.
It's best not to mix personal feelings into the matters within the company.
The feelings related to company or not...
Besides this, all other feelings must be separate.
Isn't living like that tiring?
If it's possible, I want to become a person like Director.
It's like coming into a new school and... shall I say, finding a teacher that I idolize?
Being excited and nervous whenever we meet.
If I am able to work at the hotel,
I hope I can become a person that will be able to assist you.
Thank you for bringing me home.
Please be careful on the road.
Miss Jang Mi Ri.
Yes?
Is it true that you are a lesbian?
Ah. I overheard it by accident.
While you were asking Miss Yuu, I was also at the hotel.
Is that the reason why your face was so dark all this time?
It's good that you heard everything.
To tell you the truth, after doing that, I was burdened by it.
What do you mean?
To tell you the truth,
I lied.
When I first started looking for Yuu, I only had one thought.
I was only thinking about how to find her, and then how to bring her back.
But during that moment I heard that Yuu was a lesbian, and for some reason,
I forgot everything that I was thinking about earlier,
and I started worrying about Yuu.
If she lost her father like me, what should I do?
If it were like that, how would I continue to live?
What is that feeling like?
If someone's never experienced it, you wouldn't know.
I lost my father when I was young, and I've been alone all this time.
That's why.
No matter what, I must bring her back.
I can't let her become like me, and that's all I thought about.
Of course, this wasn't planned out.
Only...
I just hope that she won't become like me.
I unconsciously...
There's a bold side of you.
Did I do something wrong?
Honestly, I was quite confused.
Was it necessary for me to explain this?
Although her life is very important,
I thought I should have just tried to manage my own life well.
Should I have really gone to the extent of lying?
Don't think about it anymore.
You must felt confusion due to not being used to the working environment.
In the future, you will encounter things that you don't want to do but you must do.
I'm sorry.
It seems like I don't understand society that well.
I shouldn't be like this.
How about this... is it possible to take some time to help me?
About the thing that happened today,
there's still a lot to learn and I could use some help from you.
If it's convenient for you, could you take some time and teach me?
There'll be a chance.
By that, you mean you're agreeing?
I'll see you at the company tomorrow.
Yes. Be careful on the road.
Oh. It's raining.
Hold on a minute.
I have an umbrella in the trunk.
Oh, no, it's fine, Director.
I don't want you to get wet.
This will work.
Wait... no.
I don't think we have to go through selection anymore.
It's not like he had another reason other than following his father's wishes.
Hotel A's Moon Ji Hoon is his father.
He was friends with my late mother.
Hotel A was a suggestion of my mother to Dr. Moon.
Then in that case, Hotel A is your mother's last work.
Let me handle that friend of yours,
I should be able to convince her.
If she knows your identity, I think it will add a burden instead.
For now, I just want her to know me as Song Yu Hyun and not someone who has billions of dollars.
I'm sorry for bringing inconvenience to you.
It's nothing.
Here's the name list that you wanted.
Thank you.
["A hotelier who made Japan second thoughts"]
Come in.
Were you looking for me?
Have a seat.
Oh my, this...
To be able to expand our business overseas was concluded successfully. You must've given a good impression.
The undertaking went well and you have helped a lot.
I wanted to say this to you officially,
great job.
Thank you.
But... I really can't believe it.
I was only worried about Yuu and gave her some advice.
Also, the president asks if you can use this chance and try to expand this to the guest rooms, what do you think?
You mean that I have a chance to be promoted to manager?
That's right.
I will work hard.
Thank you for the opportunity.
You may go back to work.
Yes.
Umm... would you happen to have some spare time during dinner?
If you have some time,
I would like to get some advice from you.
May I, Director?
That'll be fine.
Thank you.
[Millionaire Hot Issue - Jang Myung Hoon Lee Gwi Yeon Divorced How will it affect hotel's business?]
Coming up next,
an individual part of a group forging well-known university diplomas was caught.
Good job.
It looks like that fool sold his own diploma.
Today Mr. Kim was caught selling counterfeit university diplomas.
Why are things like that?
By any chance, yours is not fake, right?
Aigoo, how did you know?
- Sorry for the interruption, we are here to investigate. - What is this? We're in the middle of changing!
I apologize. Is Ms. Moon Hee Joo here?
That's me. What's the matter?
I am Moon Hee Joo. What's going on?
Ah! It really wasn't me! What are you doing?
Hold on a minute! Wait!
- That... - Senior!
What is going on? You should at least tell me the reason.
We are currently investigating a case on counterfeit diplomas.
We'll discuss the details once we are back at the station.
What?!
It wasn't me!
Wait... about that!
What should we do?
Contact the PR department to find out what happened and ask employees to be quiet about this.
It looks like you're early.
No, I just arrived too.
Is that so... Let's go in.
Yes.
Thank you for finding time to meet with me.
It's nothing.
I had originally wanted to have a talk with you.
I'll listen to every word you say sincerely.
That's nice to know.
Ah, Yu Hyun, I'm at the police station.
What did you say her name was?
Hee Joo. Moon Hee Joo.
Okay. I got it.
Help me set up an appointment with Lawyer Choi.
Yes, Executive Director.
Ex-ex-cuse me...
What is going on? Really now...
What should I do?
Aii... seriously.
Would you like some more?
No, it's okay. I've had enough.
Are you going to drink more?
No, this is good enough for me.
Isn't it boring just talking about work?
No, it's not. I think it's very interesting.
In the past, I've never thought that talking about work would be so interesting.
I suppose it's because you're here.
That's good.
I told you because it might help you on your new position.
You are worried because I've suddenly taken over a large responsibility position, aren't you?
It'd be a lie if I said I wasn't worried.
Does that mean... you trust me?
To some extent.
Otherwise, it would've been a hard decision to make.
Is that because I'm one of your people?
Or is it because...
I had a great night.
And I want to thank you especially for bringing me home.
Otherwise, I could be a bit disappointed if you didn't.
Living at a place like this, would it be a bit inconvenient?
It would a lie if I said no,
but I believe that things will be better.
You're helping me often too.
Is it a bit lonely going home by yourself?
I heard that your mother is in the hospital.
How do you know?
Isn't it hard being alone?
I'm working hard to adjust to it.
After all, it's the process I have to endure.
Let's go in.
About that...
This is a fountain pen.
It's a gesture of expressing my gratitude and apologies in all aspects.
The gift is small, but I hope you can accept it.
I'll take it.
Director.
If I made you upset, I apologize.
- But I... - Not at all.
You should go home now.
Could it be that I'm thinking too much?
It could be because you're always helping the ignorant me...
I'll see you at the company tomorrow.
What is it?
Nothing.
I think Director's fingers are really long.
Please return safely.
Yes.
Go upstairs... yes... yes...
I got it.
Hey! You!
Miss Mi Ri!
- Excuse me. - Hey! Hey!
Wait! Mi Ri!
Mi Ri!
Hey!
Are you okay?
Yeah.
What should I do? What to do?
It'll be okay.
It already passed.
You don't have to worry much.
That's great.
Hee Joo.
Then, you can go back for now.
If we need more information from you for our investigation, we will contact you again.
Please come to this side for a moment.
Are you okay?
I'm sorry, Senior.
Don't worry about it.
Have a drink.
What was going on?
Nothing.
- Did you know that person? - I already said it's nothing!
I'm sorry.
He didn't look like a nice person.
What's the matter?
It's nothing.
Thank you, and good bye.
Excuse me.
Wait a minute, Miss Jang Mi Ri.
How do you know my name?
I saw you at the hotel.
Where are you going?
How about we go together? I'll drop you off.
It's okay.
Listen to me, it's late already.
- We were lucky to escape from the train, otherwise... - Don't say anymore, Song Yu Hyun.
My name... you still remember it.
I'm sorry,
but I'm really not in the mood to talk about this.
Besides, this is my problem, and I hope you don't interfere.
I guess I was a bit selfish.
I'm sorry.
Thank you for tonight.
I will go myself.
Wait! Mi Ri!
[Director Jang Myung Hoon]
Let's go.
[Director Jang Myung Hoon]
Hello?
I saw your missed call.
I dialed the wrong number.
Ah. I see.
Sorry about that.
Is something up?
Pardon?
N-No.
There's really nothing?
No, nothing's wrong.
Okay then... that's good.
Have a good night.
Okay. Good night.
Hee Joo.
Good work.
Yes, then.
- Miss Mi Ri. - You scared me!
Why are you here?
Then Yu Hyun, why are you here?
Oh.
Mi Ri.
Where did you come from?
You two know each other?
We met her at the examination office and how would we meet her again here?
Is it fate?
You have such a good heart!
Do you like her? What is it about her that you like so much?
I don't know.
Does love need a reason?
So the oppa from the orphanage last time is that person?
And the person next to him is a person who lives here?
Should be a new hire. Looks like he's doing sales.
That's why he was here and there taking examinations.
What a joke.
He looks like a good person.
So what if he's a nice person? He needs to have some assets for himself.
Men should have power.
But, how come you came back so late?
It looks like someone stole my diploma and made counterfeits with it.
I was dragged from the hotel to the police station.
A pillow, will this be enough?
How could there be such things?
The culprit, was he caught?
Because there are many ways to forge things,
it's almost impossible for them to find the criminals.
Oh. That's a relief.
What do you mean?
I mean that it's a good thing that it only happened to that extent.
What is it?
When should I treat you to dinner?
As a substitute for rent.
Or how about we find a place to go and have some fun?
What is it?
It's nothing.
I'm glad because you're here.
If you weren't here, I'd definitely be depressed all night.
Thanks.
You're welcome.
The experiences from the past managers were all forged through connections.
- It was also a lie that he graduated from a college in Australia. - Aigoo. I'm going crazy!
Here he is!
Please say something.
How are you feeling right now?
Director Jang Myung Hoon!
I understand your feelings, but we will have an official press conference in a bit.
You may ask your questions then.
Will this affect the acquisition by Mondo?
- Will the acquisition be delayed? - We will not answer any questions right now.
World Class Holiday Corporation is waiting for the acquisition of Hotel A from Mondo Group.
Even permanent employees are found with fraud education degrees.
On the surface level, it looks like high ranking officials are suspected of faking their education qualifications.
How are things?
He left to meet Director Jang Yoo Huk.
Contact the media and broadcasting stations.
From now on, check to see if anyone has received any reports related to Hotel A.
If there are any, keep them.
Also let them know that we will have an official press conference soon.
If we don't do anything,
it could affect the whole image of the company that we've worked so hard for.
We might have to give up on the idea of undertaking that is in consideration.
Yes, Vice President.
I understand.
I'm coming to the office right now.
What do you mean? Is Song Bu Jang coming here?
He's already left,
and it was a sudden decision, therefore they didn't have any time to notify us, and asked for our forgiveness.
Do you think it's related to Representative Park?
The executive director from Mondo is here.
Please ask him to come in.
You have arrived.
Does that mean...
you plan on abandoning the hotel acquisition? Is that what your intention is?
That's right.
What is the reason?
It's because the hotel's image strongly influences its sales, and this is the problem.
- Although it wasn't revealed, the case of missing Prime Minister's daughter... - That is a problem that we've already resolved.
The president didn't even treat it as a problem.
- I agree with that. - Then why?
A lack of ethics is something of matter.
In other words, employees' education background is now the problem.
That's right.
Unless a special plan is in place,
we will announce the cancellation of the acquisition at the official press conference.
This is right. Is this something you do to someone who's on the same boat as you?
The respect and manner of an organization cannot be maintained by a single individual's effort.
Once the cancellation of undertaking has been publicized, the hotel will have a hard time sustaining itself.
The investors have no choice but to withdraw their investments.
I know.
If you know, then why are you still doing this?
If we follow according to the situation right now and continue with the acquisition,
our group can't handle it.
If the image of the hotel doesn't recover,
then the hotel's future won't look too good, is that what you mean?
I apologize.
I'm sorry that I had to come see you because of this matter.
Then, I will be leaving now.
Are you okay?
Why? Are you worried because things ended this way?
That's not it.
I know you have another plan.
Yes.
It's hard to hide things from Supervisor Moon now.
This. That.
I'll tell you the honest truth.
You might be receiving a termination letter soon.
I know also, you've done nothing wrong.
Not only Hee Joo, but also even Park Dae Ri is involved.
You also know that our hotel is in the middle of being acquired.
The other party could use this as an excuse to...
Ah, yes.
I understand what you're trying to say.
But terminating me...
I admit that I was at fault, too,
and didn't understand the consequences.
But not as to go as far as termination, right?
That's what I think also.
But... don't look at me with that type of expression.
I'm not... Senior is like that, too.
Hee Joo.
No. No.
Things can't be like this.
How could I be terminated?
It's not that I don't know what you're thinking.
I understand what you're trying to get at.
They know it's not my fault, and you believe me,
it's just that the company has its set rules that if any problems were to occur...
What should I do then?
I haven't done anything wrong, and you're terminating me?
Sunbae, tell me what I should do.
It looks like she was fired.
Hee Joo.
Mi Ri.
Are you okay?
What did you say?
- Recheck all of the employee's education backgrounds? - There's no other way.
Even so, but you still can't do things this way.
You could paralyze the hotel's business.
Try your best to not let that happen.
Have the Human Resource Department create a special investigation team.
- Must pack everything carefully and make no mistakes. - This matter is very urgent and must be completed within three days.
We only have three days, we should hurry up.
Ask for confirmations from the school because this is an urgent matter,
and try to finish this within three days.
- Hello, this is the special investigation unit. - All this information must be kept confidential.
All of the people from Human Resources that are involved in this investigation are forbidden to step out and must be isolated.
All employee's education backgrounds will be reviewed again.
Diplomas... all reviewed again?
The special investigation team is responsible,
but the results will only be reported to Director Jang.
The atmosphere around here is so intense!
This is because of Representative Park. Our company is collapsing.
What's going on with the company?
No matter what, we should go ask.
We can't just sit and wait.
What authority do I have?
All the reports are with Director Jang.
That's true. It's all up to Director Jang.
Miss Mi Ri. Who are you waiting for?
Nobody.
Then, get in! I'll take you to the train station.
No, that's okay. You may go ahead.
Okay, then see you tomorrow.
Are you trying to catch a taxi?
Where do you need to go?
You look exhausted because of things going on in the company.
I can still bear with it.
I suppose it will still take awhile to settle things down.
I asked them to send us a fax.
The time frame which I specified...
About two or three days should be enough.
Two or three days.
So,
if you find a fake diploma, how are you going to deal with it?
According to the rules of the company.
To be terminated?
That's right.
Thank you.
Please return.
If you have some time,
may I treat you to dinner?
You brought me home again today.
There'll be a chance.
Drive safely.
Two to three days...
- Miss, what's the name of this type of flower? - It's called Begonia Iron.
- What about this one? - That's called Kalanchoe.
It's very pretty.
Did you find something interesting?
Ah. Ah, yes. A few types.
Isn't this pretty?
Do you like it?
Yes.
- How much is this? - 15,000 won.
Oh, no.
For you.
Heard there were a lot of unhappy events for you today, so this is to help cheer you up.
Forget about all those unhappy memories.
According to Chul Jin, you wanted to work in our planning department.
Don't you want to?
Why?
Is it because the Bon-boo-jang or something is giving you a hard time again?
It could be that the company's executive director needs it urgently.
They should have understood when I said no.
I hate those types of people the most.
Is that so?
But he doesn't seem that bad of a person.
He's only thinking for himself.
He thinks because he's executive director, he's all that.
About that... your friend.
Excuse me?
The one who lives with you.
Ah. Mi Ri?
Did something happen?
What do you think happened?
No. No. It's nothing.
What does she like?
I'm not sure. Work perhaps.
She likes moving around.
I suppose she likes exercise.
Is that so?
Then, how about we find time to go see baseball?
Do you like baseball?
Yes.
Let's go watch baseball.
I'll tell Chul Jin.
Yes, I'll tell her too.
Now it feels like there's some progress.
Actually, since I saw her at Gosiwon,
I've been trying to get a chance to meet with her,
but it didn't turn out so well.
Ah, yes...
No matter what, thank you.
Baseball?
Yes.
You said to find a place to play, right?
No.
- But I already promised. - I don't want to.
Yes, I know I was the one who brought it up first, but...
I don't have any time now.
For real?
What's real?
Did someone tell you something?
No, the person upstairs asked if something happened to you.
What do you know...
What is it?
You don't need to know.
- No, what is it? - I already said you don't need to know.
I'm stressed enough already.
That's right.
Because of someone, I had to make a trip to the police station.
That was pretty silly, huh.
- That's not what I meant. - It's fine, you don't have to say any more.
Hee Joo.
Okay then, I'll go.
I'll go.
What?
For real?
Yes. She promised to go.
Really?
I'll get the schedule.
I'll be there.
Yes. Yes.
- Yes, Executive Director. - Please find a schedule for professional baseball.
Should I contact President Jung from the association?
That's not necessary. Just a reservation will do.
A reservation.
Yes, Executive Director.
Thank you.
- Hello, Director's office. - Secretary Ju?
It's Jang Mi Ri.
There's someone looking for you at the front desk.
Why are you coming out of my room?
About that...
What is it?
I wanted to have dinner with you if you have some free time,
and treat it as returning the favor from last time.
Oh, wait, you're probably really busy. Let's talk about it next time.
Miss Jang Mi Ri.
Are you free tonight?
What? What did you say?!
How could you not come?!
Ah, I suddenly had something to do.
Ah, yes, have a good time.
Looks like you had a date.
Ah. It was decided that we'd go if we had time.
It's okay if we don't go, but it's only polite to at least make a call.
- But where is this place we're going? - It's not that far.
We'll have dinner afterwards.
Yes.
Over here.
I'm sorry that I came late.
You didn't take your phone.
A girl answered and said she was your secretary.
When I went to the executive director's office, I left it there by accident.
But where is Miss Mi Ri?
It looks like something happened at the hotel,
what should we do?
There's nothing we can do about that.
Chul Jin couldn't come either. It looks like I picked the wrong date.
How about you give me the tickets, and I'll go refund them.
What?
I can probably refund them. Hand them to me.
No, that's okay.
Since we're here already, let's go watch it together,
if that's okay with you.
- Of course it's fine. - Let's go.
We'll go see it with Mi Ri next time.
Let's go in.
My mother lives here.
Is it uncomfortable for you to come to these places?
If you're uncomfortable, please wait in the car.
- I'll be quick. - No, it's okay.
I'm here, Mother.
There's someone here.
Auntie. Let me introduce myself.
I am Mi Ri, Jang Mi Ri.
- Please step out for a minute. - No, it's okay, Director. I'll do it.
Auntie, I'm going to help you, okay?
I'm going to turn you over.
What is it, Director? Bring me some warm water and towel.
Please wait a minute, almost done. Let me take a look.
There...
All done, Auntie.
My hands are somewhat cold, aren't they?
Sorry.
Because it's my first time, you might feel a bit uncomfortable,
but I'll be good at it soon. Please excuse me.
Gwi Yeon.
Let go of my hand.
It must be close to her death, that old woman.
Oh, Auntie, did you just smile?
My name is Jang Mi Ri, you must remember my name.
Director, I'll do the bed sheet.
I didn't ask you to come here and do these things. I'm sorry.
Oh, there's something there.
- Let me help you. - No, it's fine. I'm good.
What is it?
Oh, my!
I'm sorry.
You did that on purpose, right?
There's something weird with the hose.
What to do? What to do?
Ahh... he should have hit it.
I thought it was going to end like that too.
That's right.
- Yes. Thank you. - Hold on a minute.
Welcome. Welcome.
- How much is this? - 20,000 won.
Please give me one.
Thank you for coming.
Souvenir.
Ah. I'll give it to Mi Ri.
No, this is not for Mi Ri. It's for Hee Joo, you.
Me?
Yes, thank you for today.
I haven't been this happy in a very long time, and it's all because of you.
Actually, me too.
If you just went back, I would have felt bad every time I saw you.
But I don't know if I should take this, I didn't do anything.
We'll have another chance next time.
I'll be waiting.
Isn't it hard being alone?
We've separated already.
After the merger, like before, the company will be headed by Director Jang.
Hold on a minute.
I am a person who was already married once.
I don't think who to like is based on their marital status.
If I give her a call, will Mi Ri think it's a bit too weird?
Is it okay to say that Hee Joo gave me her telephone number?
I would like to know why you are doing this.
From my perspective,
this acquisition has no selling point, even from the start.
I still haven't given up on the acquisition.
We've already officially announced the cancellation, we can't continue with the acquisition.
I will tell Father.
I will invest all my assets.
Treat your mother well.
Don't go against her.
Nothing good will come out of it for you.
Passion, freshness, and a new image of Hotel A, this will be the best casting.
Where are you going? I'll help you.
Don't be like that.
Huh?
As a man, don't you have any pride?
Ah, I forgot to introduce you to an important person.
He is owner of the hotel and...
It's Mondo Group's successor.
