(The Women's Room)
A tax audit? Why all of a sudden?
I'm not sure.
But someone reported me.
Who did?
I guess I'll find out soon after some digging.
But it must be someone who wants to see me ruined.
Someone who wants to see you ruined?
She's trying to challenge me?
How dare she!
Can you guess who it could be?
Who could it be?
It's Eun Hee-soo.
Isn't that your guess?
Who else would concoct this besides her?
She wants me to suffer.
Grandma seems really upset.
She's been good with taxes so she must be shocked to be audited.
It'll be hard on her to be under investigation.
How far will she take this? I don't even know anymore.
I don't think I can ever forgive her.
You must be upset too.
Yes, I am. I'm very upset.
I really want to talk about positive things with you.
But we only talk about Eun Hee-soo.
We'll take care of one thing at a time.
Then we can talk about positive things once it's over. Okay?
Here you go.
Come on. Take it. What are you doing?
- Sure. - Here.
Goodness. Take a bite! Come on!
Eat it like a man! Chew on it!
Sure.
I still have three more delicious chickens in the pot.
Take your time and enjoy the food today!
Gosh! You should've moved in earlier!
What am I thinking?
You shouldn't eat this.
If you eat this, your baby will be born with goose bumps.
Okay.
You need to be careful of what you eat.
This is all for the baby.
You just need to give birth to a healthy boy!
A boy?
Wouldn't a boy be better?
Let's go and get a check-up today.
It's her day off, Mrs Han. Don't tire her out.
If Hee-soo is sick, then the baby is sick.
If Hee-soo is tired, then the baby is tired.
Let's do this later. Later, okay?
Is that so?
Ta-da!
Look at these.
I went to the market and couldn't help but buy these.
Aren't these cute?
When the baby's born, he'll walk in these!
It's so cute!
Mum is so happy.
Of course. She's waited for one so long.
You were right.
I thought about what the most important to me is.
I realised being a good father is the most important.
Nothing else matters.
You finally realised that?
I'm going to think only about the baby.
Are you okay?
Of course.
You're a strong woman, Grandma.
I'm not worried.
Since it worked out this way, show the auditors what you've got!
Have fun.
Is she heading out?
Yes, she's busy preparing her paperwork. There's just so much.
I'm sure.
My grandma's been very transparent and honest with her taxes.
Hee-soo just wants to get rid of her first whatever it takes.
If grandma goes down, then we'll be next.
That's probably her strategy.
Then she'll become the CEO and the owner.
Is something troubling you?
Do you want something to trouble us?
Why would I want that?
By the way, how's Mrs Na?
Old people should watch their health in the winter.
Once they fall, they won't regain their strength.
Here.
Why were you asking about Mrs Na all of a sudden?
Why? Did something happen to Mrs Na?
What shall we do?
Everyone knows that Mrs Na is a very conscientious businesswoman.
She's very proud of that.
Accusing her of tax evasion is spreading false rumours.
You caused this.
You're still accusing people without evidence.
Isn't it time we stop this bickering?
We can't be friends like before.
But why don't we become good colleagues? That's not bad, right?
Friends? Were we ever friends?
Oh! I guess you're relaxed now...
there's no more evidence against you.
Or are you changing because you're expecting?
Perhaps I am.
No mum would ever think of dying when they're pregnant.
Absolutely not!
No matter how urgent the situation, she'd try to protect her baby.
But you tried to kill yourself on that day.
What are you trying to say?
You know better what I want to say.
The more secrets you have, the shorter you'll last.
Your secrets will trap you.
They're all so cute! It's so cute!
Look! All these babies are so cute.
Yes, they are cute.
I must be getting old.
I'm so looking forward to my grandchild.
I'm curious what kind of baby it will be.
It's really a great thing that...
Hee-soo got pregnant for her own sake.
Of course!
It would've been the end of her.
We did have a lot of issues.
She's lucky to be pregnant.
We're here together only thanks to the baby.
Goodness.
Her tummy is so big and round.
Hee-soo still seems to have kept her shape.
I didn't even ask her how many months.
How far along is she?
What? I'm not sure.
She told me but I forgot.
I'm sure she'll get big too.
Hee-soo will try to topple me with anything even besides taxes.
How dare she!
She thinks I'm an easy target.
Of course you're not easy.
I trust you.
Yes. Thank you for trusting me.
Nothing bad will happen to me.
Soo-hee. Can you make me some tea?
Sure, Grandma.
Thanks.
I couldn't say it in front of Soo-hee.
But I think I need to resign from...
my position because of this incident.
Is there a problem?
There's no problem.
But some people are against me since I'm running this business by myself.
This just gave them an opportunity.
I guess that's possible.
It wouldn't be bad for me to give this position to a professional.
I guess it's about time.
But I won't do it because of Eun Hee-soo.
We need to prosecute her no matter what!
When will that evidence be recovered?
How much longer must we wait?
Kyung-chae is on her way to pick it up.
As you can see, we've recovered about 50% of the data.
But it's still unclear.
It looks to me like a picture.
It looks like a person.
It'll be good to know who it is.
It's not clear enough right now.
Please take care of this for me.
It's very important to me.
I'll need more time to recover everything.
But I'll give it my best shot.
It must be Eun Ki-man.
That's why it's the best solid evidence.
Goodness.
What are all these?
You're right. Who did this?
Hey!
Your mother-in-law did this to help you with your pregnancy.
She's in the kitchen all day making food for you.
I didn't know she'd do all these.
She must really be happy.
Well, it is her first grandchild.
You must feel pressured.
Goodness. I guess she does.
Sit.
Hey. What are you going to do now?
Chan-sook is totally into this!
You're asking me now?
You started this.
I started this but you totally played along!
Even Ji-sub moved back in.
Ji-sub trusts me now that I'm pregnant.
He said he won't worry about what he heard from Kyung-chae.
Of course he'll believe you now that you're carrying his child.
What are you going to do?
They'll have a fit if they find out that you're not pregnant.
It won't be just a fit.
It'll be the end for you.
I'll try to hide it for as long as I can.
I can just say I miscarried when the time is right.
Miscarry...
Miscarry?
How are you going to do it? Do you have an idea?
I can think of ways to do it.
There's no problem?
She hasn't evaded any taxes? She's done it by the books?
That's how it seems.
She's not easy to deal with.
She won't do things that might cause trouble.
What shall we do now?
You know she has another business besides her companies.
The money lending business.
"A vicious moneylender...
who pushes borrowers to suicide with astronomical interests."
What do you think?
Are you going to leak it to the media?
Why not?
That'll shake her up.
She'll then collapse. It's only a matter of time.
You're different.
You think I'm trying to become the next CEO...
without anything up in my sleeve?
CEO?
Is that what you're after?
Mona Lisa Hotel CEO Eun Hee-soo.
What's more fitting for me than that title?
Director Oh, you must have an intimate relationship with Hee-soo.
I see you here more often than in your office.
I'll get going then.
Shouldn't you worry about prenatal education?
He's not the greatest person to hang around with.
I didn't know you were so worried about me.
Thanks but no thanks. Don't you worry.
We were just discussing an urgent matter.
An urgent matter?
Why? Are you curious?
No. I'm not curious.
I'm just worried it might be something evil.
She doesn't have any problems?
Then we'll just have to make problems.
Reporter Park.
I'm Eun Hee-soo from the Mona Lisa Hotel.
It's been a long time.
I always read your articles.
I have great news for you.
I'm Reporter Park from the Daily Daehan.
I've an appointment with Ms Eun.
I see.
Please come this way.
Why is she meeting with a reporter?
What's she concocting now?
I just called because I was worried about you.
I'm always worried about you.
I know you're lying.
Your thoughts are filled with Kyung-chae.
I'm at the bottom of the list for you.
I'll be home early tonight.
That's okay.
Spend time with Kyung-chae.
Don't worry about me.
Okay.
Was it grandma?
Yes. I think she feels better now that the auditing is almost over.
They'll be done soon since everything is clear.
I'm glad.
I just saw a reporter go to Hee-soo's office.
A reporter?
No one will interfere with our meeting...
so please make yourself comfortable.
You mentioned a specific person on the phone.
You're right.
She's called the White Tiger of Jongno.
A notorious moneylender.
She has a few companies and seems like a businesswoman on the outside.
But she's a moneylender.
And she's the major shareholder of this hotel?
It's the power of money.
You know money can do anything.
I can't believe such a person is controlling this hotel.
She even recently appointed her grandson as the CEO.
That's cronyism!
We've so many problems.
This should be published in series of stories.
You understand the problem.
You're surely different.
Please write an article for tomorrow.
For your expenses.
You'll need this to write a good article.
I'm glad it worked out for her. I was worried.
Soo-hyuk went home to make her favourite dish tonight.
That's great.
I'm glad it didn't work out as Hee-soo intended.
Yes.
Really?
Thanks for your hard work!
I'll come right now.
Thank you! Thank you so much!
The flash drive is almost recovered.
It'll be done by tomorrow.
Really?
Now Eun Hee-soo will be prosecuted!
Can we now punish Hee-soo?
She needs to be punished.
She's done a lot of bad things.
Yes, she'll be punished now.
I'm not asking for the impossible.
The interest and the principal that you promised.
I've waited long enough.
I know that you've waited...
Then you should've paid it back when you got the money.
How dare you gamble with that money!
I'm sorry.
There was a man just like you.
He used to gamble any time he got money.
He couldn't handle it and ultimately committed suicide.
I'm worried you'll end up like him!
You will end up like him! I'm sure of it!
Grandma! Grandma!
Did you see this?
Please Mrs Na. Save me.
I don't want to die.
Come to your senses if you want to live.
Make better choices.
You may leave now.
Let's talk later.
What's going on?
Why did he say he doesn't want to die?
It's nothing.
What's in the news? Something good?
You're in the news.
It didn't name you but everyone knows it's you.
Let me see.
"The tyranny of moneylenders is increasing as people suffer..."
"in an economic crisis and try to make ends meet no matter what."
"A person called the White Tiger of Jongno..."
"charges astronomical interest rates."
"She's now the major shareholder of a hotel."
How dare they!
It's not true, right?
You're not a moneylender, right?
It doesn't matter if you are. Not like it's against the law.
But did anyone commit suicide because of you?
That's not how it was.
Moneylenders on TV would threaten, kidnap,
and use violence to get their money back.
I even see them on the news.
Were you like them?
Soo-hee! That's not how it is.
I've never done anything like that.
You just run some companies.
That's what I thought.
Yes. I do own companies.
I also lend money I made.
But Soo-hee. You know I'd never do anything like that.
But I didn't know about your money lending business.
The man who was just here?
That's not how it is.
He said he didn't want to die and for you to save him!
How can you be this way?
Soo-hee! Soo-hee!
"A person called the White Tiger of Jongno..."
"charges astronomical interest rates."
"She's now the major shareholder of a hotel."
I'm sure even Mrs Na will be shaken up by this!
Did you read this article?
An article? Why all of a sudden?
There's something interesting.
I think you know this person too.
Why don't you take a look?
How can this...
Did you read the article?
Yes. I'm reading it right now.
How can this be?
He wrote this maliciously without checking the facts.
How can a reporter write such an article?
I'm Reporter Park from the Daily Daehan.
I've an appointment with Ms Eun.
It's him.
It's the reporter that Hee-soo met with.
Soo-hyuk. Call the newspaper agency to confirm this.
How did you like the article?
Wasn't it interesting?
Why are you doing this?
Are you out to get Mrs Na?
Why do you always think I did something?
If it's not you, who else could do this?
Who'd do something so evil?
Don't get too excited.
You should argue with the newspaper agency.
Don't take it out on me.
And this article was based on facts.
You're too much!
Everyone knows our hotel is managed with some of Mrs Na's tainted money.
Doesn't that bother you?
Then again, you've covered up something bigger.
Min Dong-chul's slush funds.
Were you really unaware of it?
What are you talking about?
Are you saying I covered it up knowingly?
Who knows?
Only your conscience does.
I'm going to use this opportunity to stop the flow of tainted money.
I'm sure the board will agree with me.
Isn't that being conscientious?
You saw her too.
You saw my grandma. You saw her last time.
Yes, I met your rich grandma.
Your rich grandma who can easily build a small city.
But it was tainted money.
What do you mean?
I loved my grandma.
Not just that. I respected my grandma.
I'm so disappointed.
No. I'm sinking into despair.
Hey. Are you crying?
Your call is being forwarded to voice mail...
She's not picking up her phone.
Then where could she be? What is she doing?
She must be at her friend's house.
Do you have her friends' numbers?
All of her friends are studying abroad.
So she doesn't have any here.
What's wrong with her?
She seemed shaken up after reading the article.
Goodness. Soo-hee...
This is trouble. She's never done this before.
She thinks I've lied to her.
She thinks it's tainted money.
I won't live if anything happens to Soo-hee.
What would be the point of living?
That won't happen.
Don't worry.
Goodness, Soo-hee. Goodness, Soo-hee.
She's really getting on my nerves.
What's with her?
She even cried last night.
I don't know who you're calling,
but stop calling if she doesn't pick up.
What are you doing?
Aren't you worried about your boss watching you?
This is no small matter.
She was really serious last night. She's usually not like that.
I hope she's not in trouble.
I don't think she went home.
Who is this?
I think you know her.
You used to work for Mrs Na.
Her granddaughter.
Mrs Na's granddaughter?
Goodness. My Soo-hee.
Where are you?
Eun Hee-soo!
Why, I will just!
Eun Hee-soo!
How dare you write such an article!
I know it's your doing. It's your doing!
Why aren't you saying anything? I'm talking to you!
How dare you!
How can you act so ignorant and uneducated?
What?
Uneducated?
How dare you say that! How dare you?
If you've something to say,
call my secretary and make an appointment.
I'll call you if I need to..
I'm a busy person.
I can't just meet with any stray cats!
What?
Stray cats?
How dare you!
What are you doing?
She just barged in and started acting out.
What are you doing?
Let me go! Let go!
No, I won't let you go.
You just made a big mistake.
I don't know what's going on.
But you still can't just barge into her office.
Let me go.
I said let me go!
What's going on, Mrs Na!
Let her go! What are you doing?
What are you doing to an elderly person!
She tried to hit Hee-soo.
Don't you understand this situation?
Of course I do.
What did you say to aggravate her? What did you say?
Don't yell.
What if this scares my baby?
What? Scare your baby?
Why you...
Stop it.
Get out.
If you keep this up, I won't stand for it.
Let's go, Grandma.
Are you going to keep this up, Soo-hee?
Grandma's really worried about you.
Come home right now.
Call me when you get this message.
Grandma!
She came to see Hee-soo.
There was a commotion at her office.
Why did you come to be humiliated?
We can issue a rebuttal. There are solutions.
Don't you know this is what Hee-soo wants?
I can't just let it slide. I'm just so frustrated!
Soo-hee left home because of this.
How can I just take this?
You're not hurt?
I'm just upset to be mistreated by a beast like her.
Goodness.
I'm going to meet with that reporter.
I'm going to resolve this so don't worry. Go home.
Soo-hee may be immature but she's got a good head on her shoulders.
So don't worry too much.
I'll take her home. You stay here.
Let's go, Grandma.
Soo-hee. Soo-hee.
Are you really okay?
You can go home if you're not feeling well.
I have work to do.
I'm okay but I think the baby is traumatised.
It feels weird.
Weird?
How?
I heard you can miscarry...
if you get stressed out like this in the early stages.
Miscarry?
That should never happen.
What's with you?
Do you know how my grandma is right now?
Can we talk later?
I don't feel well.
How can you say that after what you did?
I don't care about how you feel.
Ji-sub...
You can talk to me.
Let me go!
I said talk to me!
Your grandmother tried to hit Hee-soo.
I don't expect an apology.
But now you barge in? How can you do this?
She started this.
She had the malicious article written about my grandma.
That sounds like an excuse.
If it were not true, then you wouldn't be so upset.
Look here, Han Ji-sub.
My wife is pregnant right now.
If she miscarries due to shock...
That didn't happen.
But something happened to us right now.
My sister left home due to that article. Do you know that?
She's not strong enough to take this.
She's different from other people.
So your sister who grew up rich can't take this...
but my wife can?
It doesn't matter what happens to poor people?
That's not what I meant.
No! That is what you meant.
Is this some kind of an inferiority complex?
Why do you take it like that?
You're more pathetic than I thought.
What?
If you ever look down on me, I won't let it pass.
Nothing happened with Jin Soo-hyuk, right?
He's still the CEO so we shouldn't get on his bad side.
That's not important right now.
Take care of yourself.
I won't forgive anyone who tries to hurt our baby.
Our baby must be happy to have such a dad.
I don't think you should work.
Let's go home. I'll take you home.
I need to finish up.
Jin Soo-hyuk's trying to get rid of me the first chance he gets.
I must not give him that chance.
Don't worry about that.
Do you think I'll let it happen?
I'll take care of Jin Soo-hyuk from now on.
You don't have to worry about him.
Let's go.
I just took Mrs Na home.
Let's talk.
- Let's talk later. - No. I want to talk right now.
How dare you, Eun Hee-soo.
I want to rest, Ji-sub.
Sure.
It'll take one second!
I said let's do it later!
Why? Do you think we're easy too?
You must be happy to have the wealthy lady on your side.
Is that why you take me lightly?
Ji-sub!
