(The Women's Room)
She's on her deathbed. How can she hear me?
I'm not scared even if she does hear me.
I can take on an old lady who's sick and dying.
Fine. Let's see if you can say that tomorrow at the board meeting.
You're next after Jin Soo-hyuk.
Get yourself ready.
You think so?
I think you should get yourself ready.
Once Jin Soo-hyuk is terminated, you've no one to help you.
This is what you get for exposing the contract with Lubyni.
Be ready to be replaced.
Fine. Let's see if it'll go as you wish.
When Jin Soo-hyuk is terminated, he can never be hired back.
He's just been lucky to have his grandma.
Eun Hee-soo.
You're finally showing your true colours.
How dare you!
I won't let it happen.
Eun Hee-soo is calling for a vote of confidence on you.
The board meeting is tomorrow.
Were you aware of it?
I knew she'd make her move.
I guess that's what she's doing.
The board will side with her.
She does have legitimate reasons.
I've nothing to show as the CEO or have any results.
Even if not for Eun Hee-soo, the board is not happy with me.
They were holding back because of my grandma.
Mando has to expose her corruption before that takes place.
I'm sure there were many ups and...
downs for Mr Min because of the board.
I can see how lonely he must've have felt in this position.
You're the only one who understands him.
Other people are only critical of him.
Everyone makes mistakes.
The big difference is whether you are regretful or not.
This position is not so grand.
It comes with heavy responsibilities.
You're a good man so you'll also make a great CEO.
I'm encouraged to hear you say that.
Shall we take this on?
I guess we have to overcome this crisis first.
Everything will go as planned at the meeting tomorrow, right?
Will anyone side with Jin Soo-hyuk?
Don't worry about it.
All the board members are in the same boat with you.
Jin Soo-hyuk is good in the kitchen.
He's not good enough to be a CEO.
Then the CEO seat will be vacant.
Who should be appointed?
That's...
Remember that the board must appoint me...
in order for me to support you.
You as the CEO?
Is there anyone else?
Who concocted all this and how did you maintain your position?
Then I trust you.
Appoint me as the CEO.
Let me see what you can do.
Is Hee-soo still the same?
She still won't divorce you?
You have to divorce her, Ji-sub!
I didn't want you to be marked as a divorcee but I can't take it.
I don't like Hee-soo's mother.
I went to get some clothing and do you know what happened to me?
Unbelievable! We fought like cats and dogs!
Don't just force it on her.
Try to soothe her.
She won't let me go easily.
What's her reason?
Does she even love you?
I don't think so.
I don't think we can agree on a divorce.
I'm thinking of suing her for divorce.
Suing her?
Litigation in our family?
We have to if we must.
If that's what it takes to end our ties with them.
This isn't love.
Hee-soo just can't seem to accept things being taken from her.
Should I say she's excessively greedy?
Why aren't you eating?
You feeling unwell?
It's not that.
I just don't have much of an appetite.
You're strange these days.
It's weird to eat like a pig in your current situation,
but you've completely lost your appetite.
Goodness. What are those below your eyes?
Are they dark circles?
Is everything okay at the hotel?
Everything is fine.
I'm going to be a CEO soon.
Really? You're so awesome!
You started with nothing and you're rising to the top!
Of course you should!
You're my daughter after all.
I started at the bottom at a bar.
But I grew up to own a bar!
Gosh! They don't know what they're missing.
Ji-sub and your in-laws don't know a gem when they see one!
They'll regret it one day.
Mrs Han was here a few days ago and we had a big fight.
It was just insane! She just went crazy and...
They'll all be back when I become the CEO.
They can't help but return.
So what will happen to Soo-hyuk?
Eun Hee-soo seems bent on doing this.
Soo-hyuk confessed that it's been hard on him since he became the CEO.
He said you must've had similar ordeals as the CEO.
The board does have more power at our hotel than at others.
They hold more stocks than the CEO.
It sounds like an excuse now but...
I thought I needed to have slush funds...
to keep the hotel going when my position was threatened.
It seems foolish now.
I know that hotel meant the world to you.
It wasn't for your personal gain.
Even if no one knows, I trust you.
It's enough to have my daughter trust me.
That's all I need.
But you can't just stay home.
How about looking for something to do?
I've been pondering on what I should do.
I keep thinking about the hotel...
since that's all I've been a part of.
Kyung-chae.
I'm going to attend the centre again.
I went with Mr Pil-sum and even said hi to my teachers.
Really?
That's great!
I know it must've been hard for you.
Erase all sad thoughts as you hang out...
with your friends at the centre.
- Okay. - I'll call the centre tomorrow.
Okay.
Hi, this is Kyung-chae. Is that the centre?
Eun-chae will return to the centre.
She's become much better now.
It's been hard on her since our mum's death.
But she seems to have overcome the grief.
Please take good care of her.
Okay. Thank you. Bye.
I hear there's an emergency board meeting today.
Hee-soo called it to get a vote of confidence on Soo-hyuk.
It hasn't even been that long since he was appointed!
So what's with this?
He hasn't had much time to do anything.
He'll be voted out.
Once he's voted out, he can never return to the hotel.
The new rule states that terminated CEOs can never return to the hotel.
Then it's over for him?
Isn't there any other way?
Can't we call the meeting off?
Call off the meeting.
You can't terminate him in order to get what you want.
Nothing good can come out of having Jin Soo-hyuk as the CEO.
This isn't only for me.
This is what's best for the hotel.
You will see his competence as a CEO in due time.
And if he can't handle it, he'll step down on his own.
What if Mrs Na wakes up?
Then what?
Both you and I will be kicked out!
Are you saying Mrs Na's illness is your opportunity?
It's common sense to wish for her to get better.
That's a normal human reaction.
You came to this position thanks to her...
You don't know what you're talking about.
Do you think I got her support for nothing?
I paid the price.
I did my part for getting her help.
I risked my life and even got rid of her burden.
That old lady hid behind me and got everything she wanted.
Don't do anything stupid like the last time.
And the divorce suit...
You'll definitely lose.
I'll appoint the best lawyer to prevent the divorce.
Can you afford to stand against me?
Don't waste your energy on something you can't win.
I know it's sudden but it's not something I didn't expect.
Don't give me that look.
I'm not worried.
Even tricks like this will only boomerang to hurt her.
Let's go to our meeting.
Everyone is waiting for us.
Let's go.
Don't feel so bad.
You kept your position long enough despite your incompetence.
I don't feel bad.
But I am sorry,
that the board isn't able to discern right and wrong on their own.
You shouldn't have let your old lady control you.
You should've reconsidered being appointed to this position.
Every position has a perfect person.
You're only returning to your rightful place.
Don't feel bad.
Don't be so sure of yourself. The result is not in yet.
What if the board goes against you?
That will never happen. So don't worry.
They couldn't do anything because of Mrs Na before.
But things have changed now.
Everyone knows the old lady is in critical condition.
She meddled too much with management just because...
she's the major shareholder.
My grandmother's illness gave you an opportunity.
It's not good that your grandmother...
controlled the hotel with her wealth.
It was a terrible thing to do.
She didn't have any conscience or standards.
Only an old lady's stubbornness and filthy greed.
Your grandmother caused damage to the hotel.
She should've aged more graciously.
I couldn't stand her calculations, greed, or self-righteousness.
She is even cruel for throwing away people she found no longer useful!
Look here, Eun Hee-soo!
You're next.
You will be replaced.
When I become the CEO,
the first thing I want to do is to get rid of you.
I will soon get my way.
Over my dead body!
Who will replace whom?
Who will make you the CEO?
Mrs Na!
You came to my house and threatened me.
You're a wicked woman who even took away my medication...
while I was in an emergency!
Mrs Na.
You had your position for too long in spite of your incompetence.
Did they say the dog you raised may bite your heels?
You should've been grateful when I raised you up this high.
Mrs Na.
How dare you try to terminate Soo-hyuk! How dare you!
It wasn't me.
It wasn't! I was only following the board...
How dare you!
Don't give me excuses.
Do you know what you did?
It's attempted murder.
If I had died, you'd be a murderer!
Shall we take this to court?
I'm sorry.
I'm really sorry, Mrs Na.
If you're sorry, you need to be punished.
You need to untie the knots you made.
I got it.
I will cancel the meeting today and pretend that it never happened.
I want to fire you right now.
Do you know why I won't?
I don't want to stoop to your level.
It's not right to fire people without a legitimate reason.
You're hardly a human being but the hotel may still need you.
I'll be watching you.
I can always take you down from that position.
Why would you let her talk to you that way?
Others are dying to get this position.
Some will risk their lives for this position.
I know.
Why didn't you tell me about the vote of confidence?
I got this position through your power.
Do you want me to keep this position with your help?
That's only telling everyone, "I'm incompetent."
And that'll make this position meaningless for me.
What if I didn't know about it?
What if you got voted out?
If I were meant for this position, I wouldn't have been voted out.
I can't help it if this position wasn't meant for me.
I also don't appreciate you helping me like this.
A hotel is not a grocery store that can be controlled by one person.
I know what you mean. No need for a lecture.
I won't meddle anymore.
That's good.
You just stay back and enjoy the show.
Hopefully while babysitting your grandchild.
That's a great idea.
That's what you want, right?
So, do you have such plans?
What does Kyung-chae say?
I didn't talk to her about it yet.
She's still got a lot to deal with regarding Eun Hee-soo.
That's true.
Of course. I understand her.
I'm sure you aren't her top priority right now.
What are you doing there?
I heard the meeting was cancelled.
Did you cancel it?
The old lady was healthy.
She wasn't in critical condition.
What do you mean?
You lied to me?
You dared to lie to me?
That'll expose your filthy ways.
You'll only try to take over this hotel...
if Mrs Na is in critical condition.
You've been found out.
How greedy you are.
How you use people to achieve your twisted goals.
Min Kyung-chae...
You should've made better choices.
What you did does not deserve mercy or sympathy.
You probably think you can get to me through Mrs Na.
But it won't be easy.
Even the great Mrs Na can't fire me without a legitimate reason.
I didn't cause any trouble as the vice president.
You know that very well.
You do have the ability to make up...
the loss due to the damaging contract.
But it won't last long.
Everyone knows where you're getting the money.
I'm warning you.
If you act up again like this again, you'll regret it.
That old lady.
She won't stand for it since I tried to terminate Jin Soo-hyuk.
She'll try to get rid of me for any minor reason.
This is Eun Hee-soo.
Mr Jung.
Yes.
I said I'll take care of it.
No matter what Jin Soo-hyuk said, I'll give you the contract back.
Of course.
I told you I'll take care of it.
Why don't you trust me?
What?
Expose what?
That won't hurt only me.
It'll hurt you as well since you gave me the money!
You didn't tell your grandma...
because you didn't want her help, right?
I know how you feel.
I became the vice president thanks to my dad.
But I was always nervous about people talking.
Really?
I didn't know that.
A position was just given to me when others worked hard to attain theirs.
Of course it wasn't easy for me.
But you did well and worked hard.
It's better to take proper steps up.
It's more meaningful that way.
Although it may be difficult.
I learned this after I lost everything.
I'm glad you learned a lesson.
Shall we take the proper steps now?
Get the hotel, the house, and the vice president position back.
And show them what you're really made of...
by regaining everything that you have lost.
Will such a day come?
Of course.
Things were taken from you by force.
You have to pay them back.
I'll be cheering you on.
Mr Jung won't let this pass.
He'll reveal it unless I give the money back.
I'm sure of it.
I can't give them a legit reason to fire me.
They're looking for one.
What shall I do?
Where I can get that large sum?
Is it you, Hee-soo?
Goodness! What's wrong with you?
What are you doing in the middle of the night?
Hee-soo. Are you okay?
Hey! What's wrong with you?
Mum, I'm so hungry.
Hey. You had your dinner.
I know, but I'm hungry even after a meal.
Don't do this.
You're scaring me.
Come on! I said stop this.
Goodness!
What's wrong with her?
It's me, Ji-sub.
Can you come over right now?
Something is wrong with Hee-soo.
What? I said something is wrong with her.
Mother! What's going on?
Ji-sub! Hee-soo is...
What's wrong with her?
I think she's gone crazy.
Over there.
What's wrong with you?
She's been eating for hours.
What's wrong with her?
Hee-soo.
Hey! What's wrong with you?
Get a grip! Hee-soo.
Hee-soo!
What's wrong with her, Ji-sub?
Why is she eating so much? Is she sick?
Don't worry.
She'll be fine.
Oh no.
Oh no! Hee-soo! Hee-soo!
What's wrong? Are you okay?
Hee-soo! Oh dear.
This is a house located in Pyeongchang-dong.
As you can see, it's a big property and has a high market value.
I can get a loan with this as collateral, right?
Yes.
But it will be put up on auction if you don't pay back in time.
That'll never happen. So don't worry.
Here's what you ordered. Enjoy.
Eun-chae loves Mr Pil-sum too.
Can you stop saying that?
Why do you call yourself "Eun-chae"?
Mr Pil-sum likes it.
So that's what you like, Han Pil-sub?
Enjoy.
I'm really busy today. Why are you still here?
If you're done with your food, please leave.
We need this table for others.
Are you bothered that Soo-hee's waiting for Pil-sum?
Soo-hee will wait for you.
What's wrong with you?
Are you sick, Soo-hee?
- You don't have a fever. - Soo-hee really likes Pil-sum.
Stop it right now!
You're scaring me!
When will you take Soo-hee out, Pil-sum?
Soo-hee wants playground time! Playground!
Playground?
Talk normally by count of three!
One. Two. Three!
Stop it!
Fine! Let's stop this.
I'm ready to throw up too.
Do you think I like doing this?
That slow girl told me you like this! So what?
Were you imitating my angel?
My head! How can you be so different?
I melt away when my angel does it.
But you horrify me!
Like a horror movie!
What did you say?
Han Pil-sub!
So Mr Jung gave side money to Eun Hee-soo during the process?
He won't stand to see the contract being given to another contractor.
I see.
Thank you for the great info.
Hotel?
It's not my place to return to.
Thank you.
Hi, Kyung-chae. It's me.
I just talked to Mr Park from Mando.
I think they're pressuring Eun Hee-soo.
I think Hee-soo got a big sum for giving Mr Jung the contract.
I think they're pressuring Eun Hee-soo.
They gave her side money to get the contract but now they lost it.
I'm sure they want the money back.
I think they're threatening to expose her.
I'm sure Eun Hee-soo is really nervous.
She can lose her position over this.
There's nothing scarier than that for her.
We know how she's holding on to that position.
She'll do anything to keep it.
She may do anything.
But it won't be so easy since the relationship is broken.
They're bound to expose this.
I'll return the money, Mr Jung.
Yes. I'll give you back the whole amount.
I said I'll give it back.
So don't talk about exposing me.
I didn't receive anything from you.
It won't help you to let people know you gave illicit money.
What did you say?
Min Dong-chul?
I got it.
I wired the money already.
So they switched contractors on purpose...
and waited for them to expose me?
Are you okay?
What do you mean?
Last night...
If you don't feel well, go see a doctor.
Don't let it get worse.
Why? Do you want me to get sick?
I'm fine.
I'm just worried about you.
I've never seen you that way.
Don't worry about me.
I'll outlive you.
Oh no! Hee-soo! Hee-soo!
What's wrong? Are you okay?
This is not normal.
This is not.
This is how I was when I became pregnant with Hee-soo...
Could she?
No way.
That couldn't have happened. It takes two to tango.
Ji-sub moved out and she's been alone.
No, it can always happen.
It just took me one time...
Oh no. I have to do something.
I should go and see a shaman or something. A shaman!
Who is this?
Isn't this Mrs Gong?
Long time no see.
Yes, it has been a long time.
How is Hee-soo doing these days?
Are you really worried about her?
Are you upset that she's doing well?
Hee-soo is eating and sleeping well. She's doing just fine.
I'm glad to hear that.
I think they're going to end it soon.
What woman will take it when the in-laws are all against her?
Hee-soo will soon become the CEO.
You know that competent divorcees can marry eligible bachelors, right?
By the way, will you still let them divorce if Hee-soo is pregnant?
Pregnant?
Is she pregnant?
I said "if".
I thought I should let you know...
since it'll be the Han family's seed.
We can have the baby and raise it.
We've got the money for it!
That can't happen.
Why would a Han be raised by you!
It's got a father!
They'll soon get a divorce.
What father?
Mrs Gong, have you taken her to the doctor?
Did the doctor confirm this?
Don't meddle in this matter.
You shouldn't care whether we have a baby or not!
Mrs Gong!
I'm not done talking! She's just walking off!
So is Hee-soo pregnant or not?
Ji-sub, is Hee-soo pregnant?
That's what Mrs Gong just said.
She couldn't be just saying it.
Did you confirm it?
What is it?
You should've just talked to me at the hotel.
Why did you call me out here?
Don't you have something to tell me?
Didn't you call me here because you have something to say?
Just tell me. I'm tired.
Are you...
You said you'll sue me.
I said I won't divorce you.
That's not what this is.
Are you pregnant?
What?
I'm not.
You're really not, right?
I'm not.
Even if I was, it's got nothing to do with you.
Since when were you so interested in me?
This doesn't suit you.
Kyung-chae. I'm going to the centre starting tomorrow.
Great. Have fun with your friends.
I'll come by whenever I have time.
With Eun-chae gone, I guess I'll be home alone.
It must be boring for you.
I guess it will be.
I'm going to visit your mum tomorrow.
Where did you place the ashes?
You'll visit mum?
Yes. I keep thinking about her.
I should've gone to see her sooner.
It's a little late.
Why don't we all go together this weekend?
I'll take you.
I miss mummy.
I really miss her.
Eun-chae is here.
Hi, Teacher.
I'm glad to see you.
I got a call from Kyung-chae.
Eun-chae will come to the centre.
I will come everyday.
Wait for me here.
I'll get your chair.
Sure!
This is mine!
It's my kitty!
This is mine!
No, it's mine!
This is mine!
No, it's mine!
This is mine!
No, it's mine!
This is mine!
That's mine!
Kyung-chae got it for me for my birthday.
That's my kitty.
I want my kitty!
Hi, Eun-chae.
What's wrong? Why are you crying?
At the centre?
What? The cat doll?
The cat doll is there?
Is it yours? Really?
How can that be?
I didn't know it was there.
Okay. I'll be right there.
Where are you going?
Mind your own business.
It's got nothing to do with you.
Eun Hee-soo.
It's over for you.
