I want you to completely and utterly ruin Jeong-woo.
And the quicker the better. That's all I want.
You planning to divorce him?
No. I'll be the one who saves him.
You'll save him?
In other words, you want him in the palm of your hand.
Why's that?
Whatever it is, it's between you two.
Knocking him off his feet isn't a bad deal for me.
This is it.
- That's all I have to say. - Hold on.
By any chance are you doing this because of Eun-young?
What do you mean?
Never mind. Go on.
Goodbye.
He hired me and made me into Ha Dong-hun.
Then what about Eun-young?
I don't know her at all.
How does Eun-young figure into all this?
Why would she allow herself to be humiliated and follow your orders?
She's quite the flawed woman, isn't she? Controlling her is child's play to me.
Do I have to ask for my hello again?
Hello.
I see you've taken on the helper lady's duties.
Why didn't you have revenge on Jeong-woo?
I would loathe him if I were you. Or do you still have feelings for him?
Na-kyeong...
Then again, you're such a nice person, revenge isn't easy, is it?
Since you refuse to do it, I'll do it for you.
Don't be too grateful.
A wife's responsibilities include keeping her man in line.
Na-kyeong!
Hey, Shin-woo. Haven't left for work yet?
Nope.
I think I'll take my leave.
Na-kyeong, can you give me a ride?
Skipping breakfast?
No appetite. Let's go.
You have something to say to me, right?
Why are you so calm?
What do you mean?
I thought you'd raise hell and have a catfight with Eun-young.
What about you? Why are you holding back?
I'm still processing the whole thing.
Besides, my mother may seem sturdy but she's not young anymore.
I'm worried for her.
Same here. I'm still trying to deal with it.
Then can you take a little more time?
Come again?
I'm asking if you'll let Eun-young stay for the time being.
You want to sweep everything under the rug?
No, not entirely. Just hold off for a little while.
Shin-woo, did Jeong-woo ask you to do this?
No, not at all. I just...
This may seem unbelievable, but Hyeong-woo can be cured.
But for that he needs Eun-young.
Hold on.
Did Eun-young show you the recording?
She showed me the same thing and made your mother out to be a lunatic.
I almost fell for it, too.
It doesn't make sense. How can he get better?
Don't fall for it, Shin-woo.
You don't understand, do you?
When a family member is sick, do you know what you stake your life on?
A miracle.
You believe anything, no matter how impossible.
What are you saying?
I gave this some serious thought.
Every time I see her face, I want to throw her out.
But I want to believe her and the doctor.
Shin-woo.
Not like she can do anything to save herself.
Just wait a little longer.
Sorry about this. I think I'll take the bus.
Seo Eun-young, gonna use Hyeong-woo as your shield, are you?
- Sit. - Okay.
Did you come up with an answer to my question?
I asked you what Jeong-woo is using to blackmail you.
Mother.
Let me try a different approach. Ha Dong-hun isn't Bi-an's birthfather.
Don't get so tense. I'm not angry, just curious.
Why did you endure all the false accusations...
even sending Bi-an away because of Ha Dong-hun?
So it's something you can't tell me?
Mother.
Fine, I don't' want to hear it. Not if it's another one of your lies.
I'm just relieved that you weren't connected to Ha Dong-hun.
But if you ever need my help, don't hesitate to ask.
Okay.
I don't doubt that Jeong-woo is blackmailing you.
But you can't handle him. You catch my drift?
Yes, Mother.
Alright then. You're excused. I have to get ready for work.
Just give me a little more time.
I'll tell you the truth and take any punishment you choose.
That so? Good job, you can stop now.
President Kang just submitted an official bill of complaint.
Did he? He must feel on top of the world.
I have a job for you.
What is it?
I want you find out about Eun-young.
Find out about her?
That's right.
What in particular?
Her life, job, past. Everything before getting married.
And any men she was involved with.
Did you get home alright? Sorry I couldn't pick you up myself.
Yeah, get some rest. Bye.
How can you work at a time like this?
Why wouldn't I be able to?
This is the moment you've been planning for years.
Aren't you overwhelmed by the need to celebrate?
Not very subtle are you? Fine, drinks are on me.
You read me like a book.
You really going to go to the office?
Why wouldn't I?
The chairwoman must be beside herself with anger. Isn't it too dangerous?
Doesn't matter.
I'm not gonna miss a moment as she meets her end.
Good morning.
Hi. I thought you wouldn't come today. I'm pleasantly surprised.
Let's go in.
The main display out front is a mess.
It's a new display put up this week.
There hasn't been any changes in the men's wear profits.
Work on that.
Yes, ma'am.
How'd the employees' event go? No one seems particularly happy.
Are you listening to me?
Of course.
According to the post-event survey, most employees were relatively satisfied.
You think surveys are enough?
Pay attention to their expressions, their behavior, the performance in sales.
The owner should be able to accurately read all that.
I understand.
Then again, I heard you're quite popular with the female employees.
Perhaps you don't need my advice?
Pull out all the hands you got. You're wasting your time.
This is the end of the line for you.
You're here early.
I have nothing else to do.
Sorry about last time. I told her she had to bring Hyeong-woo, but...
It's fine. It worked out to my favor.
Can I ask what it was about?
First things first, take this.
What is...?
I know your in-laws gave up the spa because of my mother.
Use this to open a small store or something.
But there's no reason for you to do something like this.
If you feel uncomfortable, think of it as a loan and pay me back later.
You mean it?
Of course.
I knew it, you're a real man. The kind I want as a brother.
But I need you to promise me something.
What kind of promise?
I want to keep this loan between us. Especially don't tell Eun-young.
Why...?
Things are already awkward. I don't want to more misunderstandings.
I totally understand. Don't worry, sir!
Hello, ma'am. I can talk.
How are things with Hyeong-woo?
No real progress. But meeting the little boy helped.
Little boy?
Bi-an. The boy at Eun-young's parents'.
You met Bi-an?
You know who he is?
Yeah.
Who is he? He calls Hyeong-woo "Daddy."
The kid Eun-young had out of wedlock.
He's Eun-young's son?
Yeah, she tried to adopt him while keeping the family in the dark.
Hyeong-woo has no idea and absolutely adores the boy.
So that's why his mother hired me...
Do you see how Eun-young doesn't stand a chance against you?
I do.
What?
I'll do it.
Is there a pretty girl outside your window?
No.
Daddy, it's me, Bi-an!
Aren't they adorable? I'm practicing to show Bi-an next time.
You know kids love things like this.
My master told me...
Get out!
Yessir, I'm a-leavin'.
When you want to see Bi-an, I'll take you.
I must not go to see Bi-an.
We can secretly visit his kindergarten and not tell Eun-young.
Bi-an's probably waiting for you to come.
It will be a secret.
That's right. We're friends now since we share a secret, right?
No.
'There'll be a video tape in the room. Leave it in his mother's room.'
'It'll be sure to stir things up.'
Mouthwatering, huh?
Yes.
Let's eat it together with Ms. Song.
She is not my friend.
Don't be like that.
Hyeong-woo!
What are you doing?
Huh? I have a headache and came looking for the first aid kit.
The first aid kit? In Mother's room?
Of course it wouldn't be here. Sorry.
Hand it over.
What?
Whatever it is you took from her make-up table.
What are you..? Excuse me.
Give it here.
- What is it? What are you hiding? - I don't know what you're talking about!
Eun... young.
Did you get this from my room?
I want the truth. Why were you gonna put this in Mother's room?
Ms. Song!
Don't raise your voice at me. Not like I stole anything.
So I was gonna put it there. What's so wrong about that?
But I'm sure you have a reason.
Like you said, you weren't trying to steal something worth money.
Did... Na-kyeong tell you to do this?
Then you're the one who gave her the document I signed?
That's right. But you don't have the right to judge me.
Excuse me?
Whatever I do, it's nothing compared to you trying to adopt your own son.
You're a horrible person.
And you aren't?
Get out of this house at once.
I'm not going to leave.
The chairwoman hired me. And you already know why.
If you an ounce of shame you'd leave on your own.
If you truly were a good person, I might've left.
I know how imperfect I am.
But I can't.
Hyeong-woo doesn't deserve this treatment from you.
Am I too old for the position? I see. Goodbye.
How will we survive this month?
Give it time.
My friend might set me up with a job as a security guard.
That won't pay enough. This place has high maintenance fees.
Speaking of which, what say we see about a different house?
This one's too expensive.
I don't want to stay here either but where will we go?
Shall we ask Hyeong-woo's mother for a small house with no rent?
Mother. Sir. Your dependable son-in-law is here.
Come in, my dear son-in-law.
I have an important announcement.
Sweetums! Come out to the living room.
C'mon, sit down already.
What?
But how did you...?
Did you really win the lottery?
Do I look like I'm lying? I totally did!
It's not first prize, but it's enough for a small restaurant.
Oh my..! Pooky!
You're being serious?
Of course I am. I'm dead serious!
My wonderful son-in-law!
Mother!
You've got guts.
Not afraid you'll run into my mother-in-law?
I came to talk to you.
Of course you did. Sit.
Go ahead.
Don't touch Hyeong-woo.
I don't care what you do to me. But don't touch Hyeong-woo and Bi-an.
You're acting like you had my permission when you did what you did to me.
Na-kyeong!
Don't tell me what I can or can't do. It'll only push me further over the edge.
How far will you go?
I'm only just beginning.
I told you, I'm going to make sure you and Jeong-woo go through the same hell.
You're right. We're to blame.
So don't do anything to Hyeong-woo and Bi-an.
We?
So hurting Hyeong-woo and Bi-an would hurt you the most?
Na-kyeong!
Don't you dare say my name!
What's with the loud ruckus?
What the..? How dare..!
What are you doing here? How dare you come here?
Have you no remorse? You dare come here?
Eun-young, I suggest you leave.
Eun-young? Don't even say her name!
Did you forget what she did to you?
She killed your baby! She killed my precious grandchild!
Mother, calm down. Eun-young, don't just stand there.
Leave before you stress her out even more!
I'm sorry.
You running away? Your apology is worth nothing!
Leave, Eun-young. Mother, stop. That's enough.
Why did you let her in? Who knows what she'll do next?
My mistake.
Where's Mother?
She took some aspirin and is lying down.
Eun-young stopped by. She just left. Did you see her?
No, I didn't. Are you sure it's okay to leave the hospital?
I'm fine. Go check up on Mother.
I will.
Mother.
Hey, Jeong-woo. When'd you get home?
Just now.
You know who just stopped by?
I heard.
How can she be so shameless as to come here?
This was my chance to give her a beating without Sis around.
I'm sorry, Mother.
Why are you apologizing?
Just. It's all my fault.
Jeong-woo, what are you apologizing for?
Everything. But I'm going to end things.
What are you..? You're going to end what?
Mother...
My poor, poor Mother.
Geez, what's with you? Did you drink?
Yes, I did. I drank because I felt so good.
You don't smell like you drank.
Did something happen?
Why are you apologizing? You'll end what?
You don't have a terminal illness, do you?
Why aren't you answering?
Shall we start?
The chairwoman isn't here yet.
She called ahead. She can't make it.
Why, is she feeling ill?
Perhaps. This might be the first of many meetings she'll miss.
She has been working far too hard.
Let's start.
The first matter at hand...
Is this a secret meeting? Didn't bother to tell me about it?
We heard you weren't gonna make it.
I never even heard about it.
President Kang, do you have something to discuss that I shouldn't hear?
Of course not. I was just considering your health.
It doesn't seem too great.
That so? What a dear, considerate son you are.
Then I should do as my son advises.
Have a good day, everyone. You, too, Jeong-woo.
Why are you so late today? I could fire you for this?
What's wrong?
Sir, the prosecutor's office just called.
What about?
They say the documents you sent in were false.
Another accusation like this and they'll charge you with libel.
What are you talking about? I checked it myself.
Even you checked it!
So I went to the prosecutor's office myself.
The documents were not the ones I saw yesterday.
What?
I mean, they're similar.
But the dates and the cash amounts don't add up.
That doesn't make sense!
It doesn't. We checked it yesterday.
Do you think the chairwoman played a hand in this?
That's impossible.
What the hell did you do?
You acted like you'd kick me out of this seat.
Did it not work out like you planned?
Tell me!
How'd you do it? Tell me! Now!
