(Episode 44)
Oops.
Oh, no.
You better clean that up, Ms. Jeong.
Yes, madam.
I will bring Ms. Jeong out.
Just leave her.
President Jang Taesu.
Did you come to stop the press conference?
I don't care about the press conference.
I came here to see Jiwan.
Why?
A while ago,
I gave Jiwan a warning.
I told him not to let my wife find out.
But he ignored my warning.
I don't care if my son thinks
I am a thief. However,
Sugyeong...
I didn't want her finding out.
A thief's wife also gets scorned.
Before letting that happen,
he should've stopped.
So I'm going to
make him see the price he will pay.
It wasn't Jiwan!
When Sugyeong
came to my apartment,
I told her.
I asked if she knew what kind of man you were.
I asked if she knew what you did to Sangjun.
I told her she lived in the lap of luxury
with the money you stole.
I was the one.
You told my wife?
Yes.
How could you expect Sugyeong
to never find out what you did?
You shouldn't have done it in the first place.
I've been letting you
get away with too much,
like when you first brought Eunsu to me
and when you humiliated me at my company,
in the lobby, in front of my employees.
But I can't do that anymore.
This is the last time I show
any respect for you as Sangjun's wife.
You crossed the line this time.
You already
crossed that line
on the day Sangjun died.
Right.
And I'm paying for that right now.
This time, you and Jiwan
will pay for ignoring my warning.
I wonder what Jiwan can do
without President Shin to help him.
Go ask President Shin yourself.
He went a little too far,
trying to bring me down.
It's too late.
I'm sorry.
We are from the prosecutor's office.
We would like your cooperation.
Are you Shin Yeonghwan of Hwain Investment?
I am.
You're familiar with Nebo Trading?
You're under arrest on
suspicions of starting a paper company
and manipulation of stock prices.
You have the right to remain silent,
and you have the right to an attorney.
Anything you say or do
may be used against you in a court of law.
Step aside. Let us through.
Step aside.
Step aside. Let us through.
You criticized my father, but the man
you chose to help seems to be just like him.
You started this.
You shouldn't have let it get to this.
Step aside.
Sir!
Don't worry, sir!
Sir, don't worry about it.
If anything happened to Jiwan, I'd die.
Nothing will happen to him.
I will make sure of that.
I won't sit idly by anymore.
Jeongae.
Jeongae!
Taesu,
you're not still mad at me, are you?
You know.
I wasn't there to give a statement.
I'm sure you were there
to calculate your next move.
Taesu, you're not giving me enough credit.
Do you know?
You started everything.
What? I didn't start anything.
I'm going to get on the plane as I planned,
so don't worry about me, okay?
Right.
You're very calculating.
So just stay with that family.
What?
Tell Jiwan and Seonhui you will testify.
Tell them you'll appear anywhere they want
and say whatever they want you to say.
They raised your child,
so you should get along.
As long as he has you as their witness,
Jiwan won't try to do anything.
But what if I end up testifying?
You want me to commit perjury?
You're too harsh!
You want me to betray them again?
You betrayed them when you stole their money.
It's hard the first time,
but it becomes easy after that.
You've lived your whole life that way.
Mother.
Seonhui, how did it go today?
Seonhui, did the press conference go well?
Did Jeongae come back?
Why are you asking us when she left with you?
Seonhui, something went wrong, didn't it?
What about Eunha?
Where is Eunha?
She went to meet Ms. Lee.
What's wrong?
Why are you asking about Eunha?
What?
Did Jeongae take Eunha and leave?
Didn't you say Jeongae
had to give a statement at the hotel?
It didn't go well, mother.
Mom! Don't go into shock.
Let go of me.
Something like this isn't so shocking anymore.
What's going to happen now?
(President Shin Yeonghwan)
The Financial Fraud Task Force took everything.
They are trying to set a precedent,
so it's not going to be an easy fight.
Did
President Shin really do that?
You should ask him yourself.
If President Shin got arrested, what about Jiwan?
Seonhui, what's going to happen to Jiwan?
Jiwan isn't the only one in trouble.
What's going to happen to Shin?
Didn't he...
Get arrested trying to take Taesu down?
No way...
I'm not sure.
But mom,
did Ms. Lee really take Eunha and leave?
I'm sure she did.
She knows she won't gain anything
by being our witness.
How could she do such a thing?
Eunha's belongings are here,
with her school bag and homework,
so how could she just take her and go?
Seonhui, you're home?
I bought plenty. You want some?
Hey, why are you back?
What do you mean?
Where was I supposed to go?
Oh, you mean at the hotel?
I couldn't find you or reach you,
and I get nervous around the police,
so I left. What's wrong?
You didn't run away?
So the press conference got canceled?
That's that,
but I should still testify since I promised.
Don't you still need me?
You're giving up on getting Taesu back?
It's not that.
It's not that, Jeongae.
That's good, then.
Eunha said this is Eunsu's favorite.
Let's eat.
Based on the evidence submitted by ran an
President Jang Taesu, the prosecution
investigated President Shin Yeonghwan
on the suspicions of market manipulation
- and hostile takeover... - Isn't that man
the one who used to come to the restaurant?
How did this happen?
What is it?
Your family's looking after Eunha,
so let's try to be friends.
I'll stay as long as you need me.
I should pay for what I did.
I will testify.
I can come clean about what I did
or testify at the trial if you want.
You must be in a lot of shock, mother.
I don't know how to face President Shin.
He got arrested trying to help us.
I'm worried about what Taesu said, too.
What did he say?
I'm worried that he'll do something to you.
I'll be more careful.
If Ms. Lee testifies for us,
President Jang couldn't do anything to us.
Don't you think
he might try to get to Jeongae?
He might.
Even if you're not comfortable,
I think she should stay with us for a while.
Is that okay with you?
Yes.
What's this?
Explain this to me, honey.
The bill already came?
You used your credit card at the reunion?
Look how much you spent!
You have that rich duck farmer friend and
the corporate board member friend. Why'd you buy?
Seriously...
Dad, you bought people drinks again?
It's obvious.
His friends ordered all the drinks
and your dad paid for everything!
I just wanted to live in the moment.
You can't do that, not in our situation.
Mom, that's enough.
What do you mean by that?
Look at how much this is!
You always do this, so they expect it!
It's not like I wasted that money.
I just wanted to treat my friends to drinks.
Is that such a big problem?
Oh, my!
If you leave, I'm going to lock you out!
Look how much that cost us.
That's enough, mom.
Don't you dare take after your dad.
Why is she taking it out on me?
Why did you argue with your wife?
Man...
She nagged me about my credit card bill.
You and your wife have arguments, too?
Every married couple has arguments.
But considering her temper,
she's been really patient with me.
By the way, why did you come here?
You know,
being home all alone
can only make me depressed.
Your wife...
My wife's alive and well.
She's in America with my daughter.
Oh, I see.
I'm providing for my child's education.
I even sent my wife to take care of her.
It's for a good cause, but I feel so lonely.
I feel like I've become
a robot that makes money for them.
I see.
Would it really feel great
if my child becomes successful this way?
I know I should bear it for her future,
but it's so hard for me that I feel
like saying who cares about the future?
A family should live
under the same roof, deal with trouble
together, no matter how bad it gets.
The credit card bill was like $500...
You spent a lot of money.
Man!
You moron!
Where have you been all this time?
Don't you feel guilty about being paid?
It's too late.
There's no point regretting.
I regret taking you in!
Go and get changed.
I've been transferred. Don't you know?
Who said you could transfer?
I did.
As the CEO's son, I can do that.
I was born with a silver spoon in my mouth.
You!
When are you going to grow up?
Be honest with me.
You've known all along who I am, right?
Know what, you crazy fool!
I'm really leaving now.
Come visit me sometimes.
Your father signed off on these for the past year.
You'll be able to pick up what he does.
There's a lunch meeting with branch owners at 10,
and at 2, you'll attend a strategy meeting.
(Bill of Indictment, Defendant: Kim Jiwan)
This is the Bill of Indictment for Kim Jiwan.
What do you mean?
Dropped the lawsuit?
Who'd give an order like that?
Hyeondo?
Why do you care about such trivial matters?
Suing Jiwan right now will only lead to
time-consuming court sessions.
But dropping the suit won't change anything!
They're not doing anything,
so why make matters worse by pushing them?
If Jiwan tries anything else,
we can deal with it then.
It may just get buried anyway.
I'll get back to work, father.
Do you trust Hyeondo?
He stole the notebook from your safe
and gave it to Kim Jiwan.
Even if he betrayed me, what could I do?
He's my son.
You're really something.
No.
I need to see President Shin, too,
so let me come with you.
Okay.
Who are you going to meet?
The president of Hwain?
Yes.
Why would you go there?
It's not good for people like us
to visit police stations, jail and such.
But my family owes so much to him.
That's true, but who knows
what could happen if you get involved?
Mingling with people in high positions
only brings on trouble.
The banquet room bell is ringing.
Okay, I'm going.
She always says that when I try to talk.
I hoped he was the man for her, but he wasn't.
Oh, even I am utterly disappointed,
so imagine how she must feel.
This look sort of suits me, doesn't it?
Why did you refuse to see my mother?
How could I let her see me this way?
Do you resent me?
No.
But
I want to know why you went that far.
What?
I don't regret what I did.
I'm just
sad I wasn't able to take President Jang down.
I'd do anything if I could take him down
for betraying your family.
Jiwan,
you have to take him down.
Don't let your conscience weaken you.
I started this for my father, but
if I become no different than President Jang,
I don't think my father would be happy.
You're honest to a fault.
Whether or not you win or lose is important.
For this sort of thing, you must bend the rules,
make threats and strike deals.
It's only natural, and everyone does it.
But I'm not so sure yet.
Right.
You might take a different approach.
But you must win.
How you live isn't important.
Winning, no matter how, is what's important.
President Shin's doing better than I thought.
I'm glad.
If I
hadn't met him,
this wouldn't have happened, right?
Jiwan...
Do you think it's okay to
gamble with our family's happiness
in order to fight against President Jang?
Do you regret it?
No.
But I'm afraid I might in the future.
What if my choices make the family unhappy?
After we found out about what he did,
we haven't been able to go on any trips
or laugh out loud.
If it's too hard for you,
you can stop now.
To me,
our family, you and Eunsu
are more important than money.
I couldn't even start to compare.
So...
If it's too hard,
you can ask me to handle it.
Eunsu.
I brought you some clothes and food.
Thanks.
Are you all right?
What do you mean?
Oh, you know...
How about you?
I'm fine.
Actually, I'm not so sure.
After what happened to President Shin,
it's gotten hard for me to watch people change.
And what happened to you and Hyeondo...
Jiwan,
we were going to break up anyway.
I knew it, and he knew it, too.
You don't have to feel sorry for me.
I don't want to be a burden for everyone.
So I'm going to become okay.
I will be fine,
and I don't want you to hesitate.
Okay?
I better go.
You don't like the side dishes?
Your taste in food changed?
Yes.
How funny.
I've been too nice lately, haven't I?
You're getting less and less talkative.
Yes.
The amount is really big.
No wonder she endured so much humiliation.
If you care about your wife, sign it.
Losing this contract will hurt your...
Yes.
I've signed over my wife to win this bid,
so I will sign it.
(Jang Taesu)
Oh, madam, hello.
I can't believe I'm running into you here.
It's been a long time.
- Have you been well? - Yes. sir.
I didn't expect to see you here.
So what's going on?
I dropped by on my way somewhere.
I wanted to see you.
What is this about?
I wanted to thank you for the contract.
You didn't have to come.
You could've sent Ms. Jeong instead.
Sending her
would not be very polite.
You sure had lots of fun with my wife
for a stupid signature on a piece of paper.
What?
There will be an investigation on your son
regarding military service evasion.
All able-bodied Korean men
must fulfill their military service duty.
And
if you ever mess with my wife again,
your daughter will end up getting a divorce.
You!
Jang Taesu!
My wife served as your servant for 10 years.
She knows every dirty secret you have.
The next time we meet,
things will be much worse than today.
Excuse me.
Pick one.
This.
This?
No, it doesn't look good.
Take a bite.
This.
Put this on your face.
Why aren't you doing it?
Are you going to make those look different?
Eat up.
Yeongju.
Why are you still here?
I had a lot to finish.
What's taking my dad so long?
Should I go home without him?
It's late. It'd be safer if leaving with him.
I saw some beer in the fridge.
Would you like one?
Sure.
Here.
I'll pay with this.
What does she want now?
Spicy rice cakes?
Why does Yeongju want so many things?
My dad's running late.
There must be lots to buy.
Should I call him?
Don't bother. He might be driving.
He'll be here soon.
What is it? Are you tired?
Should I just go?
No. Go with your dad.
I don't feel comfortable having you go alone.
Okay.
By the way, Jiwan,
you shouldn't work so hard.
What?
When you have a lot on your mind, it's okay
to keep yourself busy, but it wouldn't be good
if it's detrimental to your health.
So take it easy.
Yes, I will.
Cheers.
This is nice.
How so?
It's just that
I haven't enjoyed a drink in a long time.
What is it?
Look straight ahead. You'll trip and fall again.
A car is following us.
Is it still following us?
Yes.
Still?
Yes, it keeps following us.
Is it still following us?
No, it's not.
Madam,
why are you saying you're sorry?
What's going on?
What are you talking about?
The contract has been canceled?
What is it this time?
What happened?
Why did you cancel the contract
with President Park?
You canceled it, not him!
Who told you?
Who cares?
That's not what's important here!
All you had to do was sign it!
Do you know what kind of...
What kind of what?
It was a huge contract.
Enough to carry the company for six months...
From now on, I'm going to
cancel all the contracts you get involved in.
I think there's something else you want to say.
Yes! Why did you get involved knowing that!
Look here, President Jang Taesu!
Anyone who belittles you or messes with you
is belittling me and messing with me, too!
If you know that,
just enjoy spending the money I make you.
Do you know
when you are mean and harsh to me?
When you feel too ashamed of yourself
to face me or feel you're not good enough,
you become meaner and harsher.
What? You're sorry?
I kissed that woman's butt for 10 years already!
I don't care if I have to start again, so...
You did that for 10 years,
and I put an end to it!
So why did you volunteer to do it again!
It's all Jiwan's...
Why would you bring Jiwan up here?
What is it?
Did you forget an important date?
No.
It's not really that important,
but I had forgotten...
I used to always remember it.
Remember what?
Jeongae's birthday.
It's her birthday today?
It's too late for breakfast,
so I'll fix her something special for dinner.
What's the occasion?
Why did you bring me here?
It's a present.
I thought you might like it.
A present? What for?
That's pretty.
Maybe I should've gotten that, too.
Yours is nice, too.
Maybe I should've gotten that.
We can switch up next time.
Okay.
Mom, Eunsu,
what about me?
Everything looks good on you.
You don't bring Seonhui here, do you?
It's obvious.
All she cares about is putting food on the table.
I'm not wrong, am I?
I'm sure she never wore nail polish before.
You're right.
Outside some hand lotion before bed,
my mom doesn't do anything.
See? I know Seonhui very well.
You're right. That's how my mom is.
She's still beautiful,
but she only lives as a mom.
You must really love your mom.
She's the best mom in the world.
Thank you for helping us out.
Jeongae,
I want you to bring Eunsu to me.
What do you want with her?
Taesu, don't take things too far.
I have a feeling that they're
is having doubts.
And Jiwan doesn't seem to know what to do next.
Why don't you apologize
and give them some money to make amends?
After all we've been through?
How could we do that?
Why don't we go home and eat?
I can make lunch.
We're out anyway, so let's eat out.
Right, Eunha?
Fancy meeting you here.
Hi, Eunsu.
It's been a while.
Hello.
Hi.
I've been hoping to see you.
The last time I saw you was near my house?
Yes, President Jang.
I'm sorry for how I was to you that day.
It's okay.
When I look at you,
I can tell you grew up being loved
by your family.
It was like that when you were little, too.
Both Sangjun and Seonhui
showered you with love, sometimes too much.
Yes.
I heard my father really loved me.
Right.
If he were alive,
people would've called him a doting dad.
But appearance-wise,
you don't look like your mom.
I hear that a lot.
Maybe you look like
your father, whoever he may be.
I'm sure she'll be all right.
He probably wants to warn her about Hyeondo.
Mom, what is it?
Oh? It's nothing.
Yes, he'd be better than Jeongae.
Excuse me?
Your family told you I took
all of your family's money.
But that's not true.
Jeongae started it.
She stole a bankbook and disappeared.
I ran around like a madman,
trying to stop her.
Sangjun entrusted me with bookkeeping
and his private assets, but he found out,
so I was desperate.
That was why.
I transferred all the money into my account.
I was afraid others would steal the money.
It all started with Jeongae.
I wanted to protect Sangjun's money.
It was Ms. Lee's fault?
Yes.
Your family going bankrupt
and barely making ends meet.
That was all Jeongae's fault.
I'm amazed at Seonhui and your grandmother.
They've loved you
despite your being Jeongae's daughter.
What do you mean?
You didn't understand me?
You want me to tell you again?
You are Lee Jeongae's daughter.
The daughter of the woman who drove
Sangjun's family into bankruptcy.
Excuse me.
I'll take this one.
Let's go to my restaurant.
Just a second. Let me talk to them.
Get up, Jeongae.
Okay.
Seonhui, seriously...
You and your grandmother must get along well.
Is she good to you?
She doesn't favor your brother?
(Mom)
Is it someone's birthday?
It's yours.
Oh. It's my birthday today.
What are you waiting for? Sit down.
Mom, blow out the candles.
Stop it.
What's the big deal? It's just a birthday.
It is a big deal.
You should celebrate it with a feast.
I doubt we'll be able to do this for you again,
but since you're here, why not?
Eunha, why don't you sing?
Happy birthday to you.
Happy birthday dear mom, happy birthday to you.
Hurry.
- Blow them out. - Okay.
Eunha, read it for her.
Right now?
Yes, you're supposed to do it now.
Eunsu does that, too.
Don't bother.
This is cheesy enough as it is.
A gift from your daughter's not cheesy.
Be quiet and listen.
Mom, today is a great day, because the person
who brought me into this world was born.
I'm very grateful to you.
Stop it, please.
How could you read something like that?
That was it.
I made the soup with beef, your favorite.
Try it.
Let's eat.
Come to think of it,
I haven't had a birthday meal in a long time.
After moving out of your place,
nobody remembered my birthday.
I think it's been about 25 years since
I had seaweed soup on my birthday.
I don't really care for birthdays.
And when you have money,
you can buy this kind of food anywhere.
But I like Ms. Han's cooking better.
It's because you haven't tried food prepared
by a seven-star hotel chef!
Oh, she's unbelievable.
Then, go to a hotel restaurant and eat there.
Don't take something I was eating.
Talk about being weird.
By the way, where did you learn to do that?
Eunsu said you'd love it
if I got a card for you.
She helped me pick out your present, too.
Where is Eunsu anyway?
On our way back...
She'll be here.
Why don't you call her?
We should be eating dinner together.
Okay.
Mom, what's taking Eunsu so long?
We can't tell Ms. Han and grandmother
about meeting that man earlier?
We ran into him by chance.
They may get the wrong idea, so keep quiet.
What is he telling her?
I'm getting worried.
You stay here.
I think I should go back there. Okay?
Your mom's Lee Jeongae, the woman
who drove Sangjun's family to bankruptcy.
I'm father's son, Kim Jiwan.
You're mother's daughter, Han Eunsu.
So we're siblings.
I'm glad only Jiwan takes after Sangjun.
If I looked a bit more like you,
I'd be drop dead gorgeous. Right?
Maybe you look like
your father, whoever he may be.
Yes.
He'd be better than Jeongae.
Your call is being forwarded to
an automated voice message system.
(Jang Taesu)
Why are you here?
Is Eunsu back?
No.
Why are you asking about her?
You still get so defensive
when I talk about Eunsu.
I thought about it, but I couldn't figure out
why you and Sangjun
were so protective of someone else's child.
Me, I couldn't bring myself to care
about others unless we were related by blood.
If that's what you want to talk about,
I'm leaving.
I told Eunsu everything.
What do you mean?
About who her mom is
and what she did to your family.
I gave her a detailed account.
Why...
Would you tell Eunsu that?
Were you hoping she'd never find out?
When it's about her family?
Then, you shouldn't have
raised someone else's child.
How can you expect Sugyeong to
never find out about what you did?
You shouldn't have done it in the first place.
What's wrong with you?
Your mom's worried she couldn't reach you.
Why do you look so upset?
Are you thinking about Hyeondo?
You knew it wouldn't work out with him.
So get over him quickly.
Dwelling on a man
is a waste of your time.
It's better to find a new man.
But then again,
you couldn't find anyone richer than Hyeondo.
What's wrong?
My mom...
Yes, your mom's looking for you.
Ever since I was little,
no matter how tired she was,
she always brushed my hair for me.
No matter how busy she was,
she made sure I ate,
and she never forgot
my birthdays, anniversaries or exam dates.
When good things happened to me,
she was even happier than me.
When I was sad, she was sadder.
So for her sake, I decided never to be sad.
That was how I was raised.
So what?
It's not true, is it?
President Jang lied to me, right?
How...
How could you be my mom?
You stole my father's money,
and made my mom miserable all her life.
President Jang said you stole my family's money.
So if you are my real mom,
how could I ever face my mom?
Han Eunsu!
Tell me it's not true.
Tell me I'm Han Eunsu.
Tell me I'm my mom's daughter,
that I have nothing to do with you.
Please tell me.
Because of me,
just to get back at me,
you told Eunsu?
I warned you.
You crossed the line.
I could handle Hyeondo finding out.
But Sugyeong...
We should've protected each other's family.
You better pray nothing happened to Eunsu.
If anything happened to her,
I'll make sure
you see why they say maternal love
knows no bounds.
I love your scent.
