Episode 12
The stares from people are vicious.
And the company... Seo Yoon has done a good job
but I think it's better to step aside now for a little while.
Once the company gets through its crisis
then either Won Jae or Seo Yoon can step up.
I think that's the right thing for the company and for your father.
What are your thoughts, Dong Jin?
We were fighting between brothers... then Dong Sung left...
Now there's fighting between parent and child, between cousins...
Let's stop for a while.
If you just let go and take a break for a little bit
Seo Yoon and Won Jae will both change a little.
- That's why Seo Yoon... - Yes, Mom.
I'd like to hold a general shareholders' meeting for Sung Jin Cement.
Who is it? The one who owns Sung Jin Cement shares under a borrowed name.
It's probably the first person who suggests the shareholders' meeting of Sung Jin Cement.
I'd like to invite a professional CEO to the shareholders' meeting.
Seo Yoon, please accept my request.
Next to you. Someone very close.
I agree with Mother.
Brother and sister are not working to revive the company...
they're only focused on surviving by themselves
so the executives are just looking over their shoulders.
And lately, revenue from the department stores is at a low.
Seo Yoon and Won Jae...
it'll be better to let go of what you're holding onto and start again.
Mom...
I can take care of the fund issue.
Restructuring is also in progress.
To have an outsider work at the company, Mom...
there are a lot of things to work on in the Group now.
Can't we have someone with a lot of experience and knowledge?
Mom.
Let's do what Jung Hee is suggesting, Seo Yoon.
After the Fifth Republic came into power
Dong Sung and I were accused of illegally accumulating wealth
so we went fishing a lot then.
Was it for about a year that we put Jo Yong Chul in the Chairman seat?
Everyone pointed a finger at him
but Dong Sung and I came back to the Group with a welcoming applause.
Seo Yoon, you can help him with the financial issues.
I'm for it.
Seo Yoon, half the newspapers is filled with articles about you and Won Jae.
Min Ho called me yesterday...
and told me it was in the American newspapers, too.
Everyone knows Min Ho is a grandson of Sung Jin Group's family.
He was so embarrassed that he didn't even go to school yesterday.
I want Seo Yoon to continue to work for the Group.
You should apologize.
The article about inheriting Sung Jin Group after paying only 2.4 billion in taxes...
you made it happen.
I only spoke the truth, so what apology?
The audit team stayed up all night to shake off dirt that didn't exist.
People in the company get audited on a regular basis anyway.
Sung Jae!
If you did your job right, there wouldn't have been a problem.
Sure, my life is a book of problems.
There are a lot of problems, but what to do? There are no answers.
Mother, let's have the shareholders' meeting.
There are more employees from the audit team in the strategic planning division anyway.
How am I supposed to work?
I'll take my hands off and step aside. Uncle, let's go fishing together.
Seo Yoon, take my hand and let's step out of the company.
Thank you for recognizing my intention.
I'll take care of finding a professional CEO.
Alright.
Uncle, the one you mentioned earlier...
Oh, Jo Yong Chul?
He's an adviser to Sung Jin Corp now.
I'll invite him again.
Dad told me
that he removed all the rocks in front of him for a year.
The founding members who started since Sung Jin Cement...
they had no shares or stakes in the Group.
But Dad had a hard time removing them.
So he sent them abroad to other regions.
Thanks to him, Dad was able to fill those seats with capable people
and co-investors who were in charge of companies with a 3 to 5 percent stake.
I heard it was also Adviser Jo Yong Chul who took care of them.
Is it a little over 3 percent of the department store shares that you own, Eun Jung?
Adviser Jo Yong Chul is a man of principle.
He blocked all family involvement in company matters.
He brought the matter of having a cafe at headquarters to an employee meeting.
Won Jae wanted pocket money, so he set up a clothing company and supplied uniforms.
But Adviser Jo Yong Chul changed it to open bidding.
He could also sell Hampyung Farm.
Hampyung Farm is a special place for us
but from a business perspective, it's land with no purpose.
If we sell about 100,000 pyung, it'll help relieve some financial pressure.
If we invite a professional CEO, we should be ready for at least that much.
What to do?
Uncle.
Won Jae, Eun Jung, Jung Yoon.
Won Jae, I'll stop the audit.
Mom, Won Jae and I won't embarrass you.
I'll consider the shareholders' meeting next year.
I was worried for nothing.
I'm sorry I caused you concern, Mom.
Next to you. Someone very close.
My Tae Joo, you mastered senior year math when you were a freshman in high school.
You were so fast in studying, but you're too slow in dating.
Tae Joo...
this is where we first held hands.
What I want to touch is not your hands.
It's your heart that gave up on the proxy right to sell and instead chose me.
After only touching my heart for over seven years
how nice it would be to hold my hand now, too.
Once for the heart, once for the hand.
Tae Joo, I'm 32.
I'm worried... I wonder how long my beauty will last.
I don't want people to clap just for my dress at my wedding.
After a few years, people could mistake me for the mother of the bride.
I'm not going to marry you.
I bought a pretty good building in Sadang-dong.
I'm having your room set up on the fifth floor.
Get rent from the building and do what you want to do.
Forget Eden.
I'll be the financial director.
Director Jo Pil Doo will manage the hired help
and Choon Ho will take over the underground brokers.
Tae Joo, one billion dollars is in your hands.
It's over when you buy 10 affiliates with that money.
President Choi Min Jae still has a hold of my lifeline.
I have the documents on Jang Tae Joo and Eden for the last three years.
Tae Joo knows
that as soon as one billion dollar goes to Seo Yoon
the documents will be be released to the public.
Jang Tae Joo will end up reaching for my hand.
The shareholders' meeting will be difficult for a while.
If Seo Yoon doesn't get one billion dollars, the Group will be unstable.
Another chance will come.
Min Jae, can I look at those documents?
I'll have a better idea of what kind of table I should set for Jang Tae Joo once I see the documents.
Jang Tae Joo is a rough man. I'll try to handle him.
Jang Tae Joo has the one billion dollars.
I'll keep holding onto Jang Tae Joo's lifeline.
Got it.
The documents the prosecution seized have been moved to the location you told me.
Who is it? The one with shares under a borrowed name...
The time will come when you will have to raise her hand.
I'll let you know then.
There will be nothing that Jang Tae Joo can have.
When I was little... maybe a New Year's Day?
I played a card game with my relatives
and my uncle won big.
It was 100 won per point, but he got over 20,000 won.
Everyone was laughing and giving money...
but Dad got angry and said Uncle cheated.
A fight broke out.
Dad took my hand and we went outside right away.
Do you know why?
Dad didn't have 20,000 won in his wallet.
Rather than being ignored as a man with no money
he thought it would be better to be cursed at as a weirdo.
After that, Dad never went back to Uncle's house.
That night, Dad told me
'Tae Joo, in my experience, the biggest sin in the world is...
a man not being able to take care of himself enough to marry a woman he loves.'
Leave, Seol Hee.
If you stay by my side, you'll be taken away, indicted, sent to prison...
That could happen.
Tae Joo...
you only live once.
I can't stand those with money, and I don't like those with good parents.
Someone who does everything from head to toe on his own
even if he gets covered in dirt and sweat...
someone who pulls through on his own, that's the man I want to love and marry
and I'm going to have his child. For me...
that's you, Tae Joo.
You'll regret it.
I hear all women regret after they get married.
If I'm going to regret it anyway...
I'll do it by your side.
I'm going to regret it.
If you get hurt... I can't forgive myself.
Seol Hee.
I'm going into the underground bunker now.
Thank you for everything.
Seol Hee.
I'll send you off.
Whether you're falling or walking straight...
I'll watch you for a very long time.
Seol Hee, don't look back.
Dr. Park said he told her that Chairman wouldn't last more than three days.
But she said she wanted to be alone with the Chairman
and told him not to let outsiders know.
Jung Yoon and Dong Hui, go to Jeju Island with Min Ho and take a vacation tomorrow.
Won Jae, take care of Seo Yoon by her side.
It'll take three, four days. I'll come back with him.
With their relationship, it's possible.
It's possible that they wanted to spend Dad's last days by themselves...
Maybe Dad wanted it.
She still should've said something after the funeral.
She meant to take the shares herself for sure, so she blocked outside contact...
Was it seven years ago?
When Dad was in the recovery room after he had brain surgery.
Mom was in the prayer room in the hospital for two days.
She didn't eat... she didn't sleep...
she just prayed the whole time.
How did he know about it then?
Yes, I got it.
Who did President Choi Min Jae hear from about Chairman's brain tumor surgery?
What's the survival rate after Chairman's surgery?
After Dad woke up, Mom said...
'Thank you for coming back to life.'
Vice Chairman.
It's been 27 years.
She can't hold on to her hatred for Dad for that long.
It's our misunderstanding...
The reclamation project on the west coast started with a three year plan.
But with a typhoon and trying to appease the locals who were against it...
in the end, it took over 15 years.
It's the same for people.
She probably didn't start this thinking it would take 27 years.
I feel bad for Mom.
Seo Yoon, I will give my shares in the scholarship foundation to you.
Seo Yoon, take the shares in Sung Jin Academy, too.
Mom... believed in me.
Mom wasn't hesitant about giving her shares to me...
and she let me take it.
But now, I can't trust Mom because of one word from Jang Tae Joo.
I'll look for the original owners of the shares under the borrowed name.
They must be company insiders.
They must be people that Chairman trusted deeply.
Did the Chairman leave any words for us?
President Kim Hang Ryul.
That's right. Won Jae received the shares from them...
I'll meet with President Kim Hang Ryul.
You should meet with Managing Director Choi Won Jae and confirm with him.
I'm also hoping your mother's the kind of person you believe her to be.
The audit team left the strategic planning division.
I just told them to do a routine check.
You know how they are. They compete for loyalty.
I know. I told them to do a light touch on the shares
but they wrote about your tax issue in the paper and told the TV stations.
Seo Yoon, I heard you gave a bonus to the leader of the audit team.
So I treated my guys to a nice dinner, too.
I met with President Kim Hang Ryul yesterday.
Kim Hang Ryul?
Sung Jin Telecom! Why?
You're going to tell him to trip me this time?
I feel a little weird these days.
I want to eat with those who spent long years with Dad and talk about him...
Won Jae.
I want to hear Dad's last words.
He asked for you, Seo Yoon.
Eun Jung!
He was drunk all night.
The words he said to the firstborn son was to ask for Seo Yoon.
Mother said that...
Father didn't have a clear mind, so he only looked for Seo Yoon.
So Mother told him he didn't have to tell you and consoled him.
Won Jae was regretful.
If he knew it was Father's last moments, he'd have told you.
I finished 'The Qualification of Men.'
Seo Jeong Ju's poetry collection was really good.
He's an amazing person.
But I failed on 'The Brothers Karamazov,' Seo Yoon.
Someone told me that everyone in the world knows about Dostoevsky
but there are only a few who read all his books.
This is the first book that was scarier than your nagging.
I can't read it. It's hard.
Let's eat lunch together tomorrow.
I'll bring waffles and strawberry shaved ice that you like to your office.
Father asked this of me.
To spend a lot of time with you. He said you'd have a tough time.
- For lunch tomorrow... - Kiddo.
I miss Dad.
Me too, Seo Yoon.
I regret it several times a day.
I should've gone to the hospital.
You told me, Kiddo
that Dad had a cold. Just a minor complication.
That he'd come home after three days.
If Seo Yoon finds out who I am, who you are, then Sung Jae...
No, I won't let her find out.
The only thing left is for you to give up.
I'm going to keep living as Seo Yoon's little brother just as I have been.
Yeah, the doctor said... that it was a minor complication from a cold.
Choi Sung Jae also heard that Chairman wouldn't last more than three days.
I have plans for lunch tomorrow. Let's do it another time.
'The Brothers Karamazov'... read it.
The father Pyotr died.
The story is about finding out who killed Pyotr.
Make sure to read it, Sung Jae.
Seo Yoon.
I wonder why he's so fast when he takes a walk...
why he's in such a hurry.
If he's trying to leave me behind.
Thank you.
This is green tea from Jiri Mountain. It'll clear your head.
Drink.
This is Choi Seo Yoon.
I met with President Kim Hang Ryul.
Until the shares are converted to a real name ownership
he can't reveal the real owner.
It's the Chairman's wish.
As we discussed yesterday
please go ahead with changing the holding company of Sung Jin Cement.
Vice Chairman, what do you mean by that...
All the affiliated companies are going through restructuring.
Foreign funds are buying shares in large quantities.
I think it'll be better to change the holding company
to one with a more solid capital structure than Sung Jin Cement.
So it wasn't Managing Director Choi Won Jae. It really was your mother.
What you told me was very helpful.
Thank you.
You look tired, Mom.
You sent off Dad, and things are unsettled at the company.
Once the urgent matters settle down, let's go on a trip together. For about three days.
How would someone at home know what's going on outside?
I brought up inviting a professional CEO for nothing
and just made you feel uncomfortable.
I know how you feel.
A hot spring or a beach... decide on where you want to go, Mom.
Seo Yoon...
I think it's better to leave Sung Jin Cement as a holding company.
I remember...
after setting up Sung Jin Cement as a holding company three years ago...
he talked about it for over a month.
Even when he went on a trip to Sung Jin Cement with the presidents
he couldn't stay for more than an hour because of his mental instability.
But he took me by the hand and told me about the different spots.
'This is where we put the first cement machine.'
'This was a storage room for cement and we cooked ramen in here.'
He held my hands and cried for a while.
I committed a sin...
but thankfully, heaven gave me a gift.
Your Mom and Sung Jae.
Let's take a trip later, Seo Yoon.
Let's go to Sung Jin Cement together.
I'll show you...
the bed where your father slept
and the cart he used to deliver cement.
They were in the exhibit hall there too.
To your father, Sung Jin Cement is his home and his root.
He'd really like it if you left it as a holding company.
Let's do that, Seo Yoon.
Thank you for understanding me, Seo Yoon.
We should be grateful to her.
When I'm not around after I leave, please take care of your Mom, Seo Yoon.
Dad!
I miss him, too.
He couldn't even eat on his own.
He must be very lonely in heaven by himself.
After time passes and when we meet again...
how happy he'll be to see me.
I'll postpone the meeting with Moody's evaluation team from 11 o'clock to this afternoon.
You didn't sleep at all last night. You rest even for a little...
The people from Moody's can't help us...
but they can make us fall.
Just proceed as planned.
Your brother...
no, about Choi Sung Jae...
- I'll review the legal ramifications. - The law is always late.
The deadline for hot money in the foreign branches is in four days.
Mom is...
That woman Han Jung Hee will try to have the shareholders' meeting again.
The reason Chairman told us that
Choi Sung Jae is President Bae Young Han's son
was to ensure that we would protect him even if that fact became known
and turned into a problem in the family.
Chairman kept him in his arms for 27 years.
More than 27 years...
I can't forgive the three days...
the last three days Dad stayed in the hospital.
How scared he must have been.
I thought about it.
How could I make that woman Han Jung Hee suffer more?
I'm going to make her leave empty handed.
For fooling Dad and us for 27 years...
I'm going to make that woman Han Jung Hee regret it until her last days.
I need to take care of the funds first.
Jang Tae Joo is a lucky guy.
He'll get all 10 affiliates with a short-term loan of one billion dollars.
What do you plan to do about Choi Sun Jae?
I heard he helped you at the family meeting.
And he also told you that Chairman was in critical condition.
Han Jung Hee and Choi Sung Jae...
how are they different?
Like I said...
the last three days that Dad stayed in the hospital...
I won't forgive them for it.
That's how things go.
If you skip a step, words change.
President Jang Tae Joo... I'd like to meet him face to face some time.
I'll meet with him. I'm holding the lifeline around his neck.
He won't be able to ask for too much with one billion dollars.
How could the father and the son be so different?
Dong Jin has big laughs and is down to earth
but he knew right away
that Choi Dong Sung would let go of his hand at the hearing of the Fifth Republic.
Even if I let go of your hand, I still have the shares.
If you let go of my hand
I wonder what you'll be able to do with the documents on Jang Tae Joo.
Can you set up a meeting with President Jang Tae Joo?
I'll arrange a time so that you and I can meet with him together.
Fine.
Check on Jung Hee's people...
those who are helping her.
Choi Sung Jae... find out about him too.
Yes, sir.
This is Jang Tae Joo.
This is Choi Seo Yoon.
I'd like to have dinner with you, 7 o'clock.
Let's meet at the restaurant in Sung Jin Hotel at 6:30.
Choi Seo Yoon has made a call.
One billion dollars...
Isn't it going to Choi Seo Yoon anyway?
Why did you set up a meeting?
Choi Seo Yoon will say she'll give me 10 affiliates.
Choi Min Jae holds your lifeline.
So he'll give you some pocket money and demand the one billion dollars.
Once he eats up the one billion dollars, he plans to release our documents.
Leave the worrying to me. I have a plan.
Smile!
When I got kicked out of high school in my senior year, my mom told me...
'Whose genes made you like this?'
I'm exactly like my mom who believed my gambler dad's words and ran away with him.
Seol Hee, you know how much the building rent alone is.
If you ate every meal at a fancy restaurant and slept every night at a hotel...
you still wouldn't have used half of it.
My wife was like that, too.
She said if I went to prison one more time, she would run away.
Every time I got released from prison, she was waiting for me, holding tofu in both hands.
She fed me one block of tofu
and threw the other at my face.
- Seol Hee. - What to do, my Tae Joo.
I really don't like the five story building you gave me.
I went there, and sat in my room.
There is a twenty story building in front.
The sunlight doesn't come through well.
I thought, 'I should snatch up that building with good sunlight!'
My gambler dad raised me
and I worked with Tae Joo who gambled for seven years.
So I became a gambler, too.
Tae Joo, let's do just this one together.
Buy me that building.
I went to my son's field day...
and we did the three-legged race.
I was afraid he might fall, so I ran alone.
Director Yoon tied her leg to yours, President Jang.
- Seol Hee. - Tae Joo.
I came into the underground bunker first.
Follow me.
Like I said, if I'm going to regret it anyway, I'll do it by your side.
Smile!
My Tae Joo, what will you do about the one billion dollars?
Choi Seo Yoon, Choi Min Jae...
I'm not going to join the round they started.
I'm going to start a new round.
I'm going to win.
Seol Hee, Director Jo, Choon Ho...
no one will get hurt.
The ten affiliates under Sung Jin Chemical and Sung Jin Energy...
I tied them together with Sung Jin Chemical in the center
since you'll be carrying them by yourself.
There is something called 'missile button syndrome.'
The soldier who presses the button in the missile room
is not aware that he's killing people.
He just presses a button...
A long time ago, when President Choi Min Jae demolished the shopping building
he pressed the missile button.
I hated him then
but I realized much later
that there was Chairman Choi Dong Sung who made a big profit from making that missile.
And there is Choi Seo Yoon who's protecting that money.
You're not a nice man either, Jang Tae Joo.
Being nice means being non-threatening to you.
To you, it means being well-trained.
Oh... the employees of the ten affiliated companies...
they must be nice people from your perspective.
They put their lives in your hands
and now they're waiting patiently for your decision.
IMF, World Bank, Asian Development Bank...
they are all planning to supply foreign currencies to Korea.
The one billion dollars you have will lose its value with time.
Sooner would be better for the signing ceremony.
Tae Joo, you wanted to have dinner with me, so I came.
I get indigestion eating at home with Seo Yoon
so I'm going to eat comfortably outside.
Should I leave? Or should you?
She's going to hand over ten affiliates.
Please take a look for me, Won Jae...
if anything's damaged or if things are in good condition.
You should have listened to me.
If you just listened to me when I told you to be careful of the currency crisis in Southeast Asia.
Dad's last words in the hospital... if you just told me about that, Won Jae.
Mother.
Now... all the members are here.
Let's deal the cards.
Dad, Sung Jae is not Father-in-law's child?
Chairman started with nothing and built Sung Jin Group.
We got dirt and soil on Chairman's hands, and on my hands.
Even blood.
What Mother-in-law did to Father-in-law for 27 years...
Eun Jung.
Chairman was kind to hold your hand.
I'm sure the warmth of Chairman's hands is still left in yours.
Eun Jung, I hope you hold Vice Chairman's hands this time.
Please... Eun Jung.
Somehow, the right to withdraw one billion dollars from Lehman in Manhattan came into my hands.
This one and that one, a lot of people are asking for it
but I've grown to like some of you, so I'm going to hand it over to Sung Jin Group.
But I have a headache.
It's the same Sung Jin Group, but two different people are asking for it.
Why don't we show the hidden cards now and clear everything up?
Now, I decide the rules.
Choi Seo Yoon offered ten affiliates.
Call? Or raise?
Maybe 'die'?
I should've met with Tae Joo alone.
Aunt Jung Hee, you didn't have to come here and rise to the surface.
Thank you, President Jang Tae Joo.
If I didn't come here and see that expression on Seo Yoon's face
how would I have known that Seo Yoon knew what I was thinking?
What to do...
Get one billion dollars and make it right at Sung Jin Group which Choi Dong Sung built.
And you must've thought you'd send me away with nothing.
I'm really sorry, Seo Yoon.
Mother, what are you talking about right now...
I'm sorry... Ms. Han Jung Hee.
Choi Sung Jae...
no, he'll be Bae Sung Jae now.
I'll sue for the lack of a biological parent-child relationship.
Once the decision comes out that there is no relationship between Dad and Sung Jae
I'll take Sung Jin Academy back. It'll be better to leave before that.
I'm going to tear down Sung Jae's room and use it as my dressing room.
And I'm going to use Dad's bedroom...
Ms. Han Jung Hee.
I'm going to hold a family meeting.
As for the Sung Jin Cement shares under a borrowed name...
since it's Dad's inheritance which was left behind for us
Me, Won Jae, and Jung Yoon... we'll divide it up according to the distribution ratio.
Oh right... the grave of Bae Young Han... it's in the mountain owned by Sung Jin Auto.
Move it. I'm going to build the Auto R&D center there.
Twenty seven years. Thanks for taking care of Dad...
but I'm sorry I'm making you leave empty-handed
Ms. Han Jung Hee.
If things went the way I wanted
would I have stayed by that man Choi Dong Sung for 27 years?
Seo Yoon, what the hell is...
You just heard.
That woman hid her real face from Dad
and lived her life hiding what was on her mind from us.
She's planning to own the Group with Sung Jin Cement shares under a borrowed name.
Oh, and you don't have a little brother any more.
Wipe yourself with this.
You know what Father did?
I trusted you, Mother! Even when I was in Europe...
he asked me to get your anemia medicine...
Sit down, Won Jae.
Min Jae...
you said you'd carry me to Sung Jin Group once you got the billion dollars.
Which way the one billion dollars will go
and who the owner of Sung Jin Group will be... that's what we're deciding here.
- Sit down, Won Jae. - Min Jae!
I trusted you, but you and Mother!
That's enough.
Choi Dong Sung committed the sin, but you're receiving the punishment.
I feel so bad for you.
Mr. Jang Tae Joo, congratulations.
The value of one billion dollars will increase even more.
Say what you'd like to say.
You should all get along. What is this?
This happened because everyone's trying to eat the money.
Let's get along and split it in half. Nice, isn't it?
Mr. Jang Tae Joo.
Let me just eat half.
Ms. Choi Seo Yoon and this person here.
You have the shares in Sung Jin Cement, the holding company of Sung Jin Group.
Whoever adds those shares to my one billion dollars
will become the owner of Sung Jin Group. Is that correct?
Tae Joo.
Ms. Choi Seo Yoon, give me half your shares in Sung Jin Cement.
Then I'll put the one billion dollars in your pocket.
And let's split the Group in half, too.
Tae Joo, if you give it to Seo Yoon, you'll get hurt.
If I was afraid of getting hurt, President Choi Min Jae...
then I wouldn't have set the table to begin with.
If you're afraid of the money going into Choi Seo Yoon's pocket, call first.
That's difficult, Mr. Jang Tae Joo. Give me a different offer...
So this one is a fold.
I think it's better to suggest a realistic condition, Tae Joo.
Why is a horseman butting in?
Just pour some water for her.
Mother, when I went to the hospital, Father told me
to call Seo Yoon for him. You told me not to.
Did you know about the shares then?
You didn't want Seo Yoon to know, so...
A man full of suspicion... let me take charge of the kitchen after five years
and let me take the household business after ten years.
Why did he let me take the borrowed name shares on his way out?
The last three days in the hospital...
I will not forgive you for them.
He waited so much for you to come, Seo Yoon.
He didn't even take pain killers because he was afraid he'd fall asleep.
He endured that pain and waited for you.
Unload your worries.
I told him... that Seo Yoon wasn't coming.
I showed him this ring when he was leaving.
Mother!
A man built like a mountain... was in such shock.
I'll also show him your departure from Sung Jin Group.
Accept Jang Tae Joo's offer, Min Jae.
Aunt Jung Hee.
Let's complete the share distribution before the real name transfer is finished.
We'll hold the shareholders' meeting within this month.
Mr. Jang Tae Joo.
Too bad. You didn't bet enough this time.
As long as the documents are not released, my shares will be on your side.
Let's split the Group in half, too... before the flowers bloom next spring.
Seo Yoon... I finally get to keep the promise I made with Sung Jae's father.
I promised him that Choi Dong Sung would see hell.
This is hell.
There are two devils in front of me right now.
One time, President Jang accelerated on a highway.
To be honest, I was scared.
He was going over 200kmh, so I screamed and thought...
'Wow, he's amazing, he'll be big.'
But still, I didn't know he'd end up eating half of Sung Jin Group!
I knew right away.
I don't need nice people. Honest ones make me gag.
That's when I knew.
Choon Ho, I need this kind of person right now.
'Oh? He's something.'
I'm asking if I can make money with this!
He has an eye for land, and his eye for women is the best in the country.
During the Spring and Autumn Period in China
a drifter warrior became a king in a year.
IMF will be the last chance to go to the upper class of Korea.
After this period, the poor will become poorer
and the rich will get richer.
We got on the last train.
Choi Min Jae and Han Jung Hee.
They're not the type to hand over Sung Jin Cement shares that easily.
Choon Ho, go to Myeong-dong and check when the shares are handed over to Han Jung Hee.
- Now. - Okay.
Director Jo.
At the Sung Jin Cement shareholders' meeting
Choi Min Jae will bring in professional meddlers.
Sang Goo's kids will make a move.
Let's get our guys too.
I think about a hundred would be good. Go meet with them now.
Got it.
- And Seol Hee... - Yeah?
Come here and be in my arms.
Tae Joo.
Stand behind me.
Don't fall down, don't get hurt.
Be careful when you follow me.
This fight... will be over.
Won Jae, have some tea in my office.
I held your hand even after fighting with you for 5, 10 years.
I held hands with my wife who's dying to get a divorce.
But Min Jae, with Mother who fooled Father for over 27 years...
Emotions change. Yesterday is different from today.
Just focus on one thing. What do you want?
Which hand should you hold to get what you want?
Min Jae, I'm different from you.
No, you and I always come to the same conclusion.
For you, it just takes a little more time.
Won Jae!
I'm sure of it. You and I will meet at the same place.
How could a human being do that? After everything Dad did for Mom!
Seo Yoon, I feel so bad for our dad, what do we do...
He didn't know what kind of person she was.
He gave her love, and the scholarship foundation...
I'm going to hold a family meeting, Won Jae.
The Sung Jin Cement shares are Dad's inheritance for us.
Won Jae, Jung Yoon, and me.
If we divide it based on the distribution ratio, there will be no legal issues.
I'm going to prepare for a lawsuit on inheritance.
Start the lawsuit, request for injunction, and put it to a vote?
Yes, I have to see that woman leave, crying and empty-handed.
I'm not going to do that.
If it goes to trial, everyone in the world will know.
There will be people pointing their fingers at Dad's life.
We don't want that.
I'm going to let her know that we're filing a lawsuit.
Then she'll realize that she'll be at a disadvantage in a legal fight.
I'm going to make her leave quietly holding Sung Jae's hand.
Jung Yoon, please take care of Dong Hui.
Won Jae, please take care of Eun Jung.
May I tell you something personal?
Won Jae, I told Eun Jung already.
This time, she'll stand with Vice Chairman.
I've served the Chairman for over 30 years.
I used to call you like this...
'Won Jae, Jung Yoon, Seo Yoon.'
Just for today, let go of your hate and misunderstanding for each other
and as Chairman Choi Dong Sung's first son, first daughter, and youngest daughter...
walk together. That's my hope.
I was out of place, Vice Chairman.
At the family meeting tonight
you just need to make it clear that you agree on the inheritance lawsuit.
I'll take care of the rest.
She'll file a suit on the lack of a biological parent-child relationship.
Don't worry.
So what if the ruling comes out that you're not his biological son?
I won't let her take Sung Jin Academy from you.
I should've told her then.
Dad's last three days in the hospital.
When Seo Yoon asked me if Dr. Park said it was complication from a cold
I wanted to tell her...
Seo Yoon is in the library, right?
Bae Sung Jae.
That's what Seo Yoon called you. That you are Bae Sung Jae.
Don't go to the family meeting today.
How would you meet Seo Yoon's eyes with your frazzled mind?
Rest, Sung Jae.
It's time.
The family meeting will begin soon.
Thank you, Director Park.
After this is over, I want to go to Hampyung Farm with Won Jae and Jung Yoon.
I want to pay our respects at Dad's grave
and stay there a couple of days to chat.
As we do that, the Group and the company...
and the problems that Won Jae, Jung Yoon and I have...
will be resolved easily.
Eun Jung!
I know that I'm a fool.
But Eun Jung, even a fool knows his duty as a human being.
Do you know how Father left at the end?
Let's go to the family meeting. When we get home...
I finished talking with Mother-in-law.
I'll get the department stores.
You'll get a separate entity with Heavy Industry and Shipbuilding.
Hey!
I have a different thought.
Once Seo Yoon steps down
how long will Mother-in-law keep that seat?
Sung Jae is not even a member of the Choi family.
Won Jae, I think it'll be your chance.
It's been a long time since we last met outside...
do you want to go have some wine?
Won Jae won't come.
Eun Jung got greedy since she got the department stores.
You must be very disappointed with Won Jae.
And you must hate Eun Jung.
That's how I felt too, Seo Yoon.
After Sung Jae's father passed away
I gathered people to tell my story of injustice.
Your father used money and power, so no one came.
I went home after waiting all night.
That man Choi Dong Sung came that morning.
What to do... Jung Yoon won't come, either.
Dong Hui, please don't do this.
Dong Hui, let's go to the family meeting.
Your six siblings... they went to study abroad and even got jobs...
Dad took care of it even before you brought it up because he didn't want to hurt your feelings.
Let's not do this to Dad, okay?
Min Ho studied the department stores, so he can't be in a golf course.
Jung Yoon, your son is capable.
Parents should give their children a chance.
You can give him wings.
Jung Yoon, I decided to think about our children before my father-in-law.
Still, Won Jae will go to the family meeting...
He'll talk badly about me.
Should I call Won Jae?
He's in the other room.
Seo Yoon, get up now.
I asked Byunsan to make abalone soup.
You must've hurt your feelings on an empty stomach
so ease your mind and get a good night's sleep.
There will be no Sung Jin Cement shareholders' meeting.
My stake, plus friendly equity...
When President Jang Tae Joo gives me a billion dollars
the ones who have been carrying you
will be pushing you out first.
I've lived for 27 years with the exact feeling you're feeling right now.
I'm sure you'll get through it, too.
This is the beginning for you and me.
You'll have to endure it a lot longer.
Oh, you should have the abalone soup.
I'll meet with Eun Jung and try to convince her again.
Now I know.
Persuasion is not done with words.
It should be done with power.
Vice Chairman...
we have to block the Sung Jin Cement shareholders' meeting.
With the help of the family...
Don't block the shareholders' meeting.
From the table they set, I'll become the owner.
The one billion dollars that President Jang Tae Joo has...
I'm going to bring it.
But Ms. Han and President Choi Min Jae already took it...
Dad told me... when he sent Yong Jae and Uncle to prison
he prayed for the glass to be removed if possible.
But he had to empty the glass in front of him.
Same for me.
I need to empty the glass in front of me.
Vice Chairman.
But Director Park...
though I really want to avoid this glass...
there is no other way.
The real name transfer will be complete by next week.
Let's divide the shares before then.
Wow, you're working so hard driving someone else's carriage, President Choi Min Jae.
Tae Joo...
Don't forget
that I said I'd take what you own.
I told you that shouldn't be done with words.
I'm going to give one billion dollars to President Choi Min Jae.
No need to bring it up anymore. Looks like we don't have anything further to discuss.
You said... that you wanted to become like my dad.
And?
You and me... let's bet everything we have.
Min Jae and that woman... they're not easy to handle.
Let's fight together.
Win first. After that, you and me...
one of us will own everything
and the other will lose everything.
I won't trust someone who'll let go of my hand at any time.
There is a way... to trust me.
You and me...
let's get married.
This is how you'd say it, right?
'I went for a race.'
'Either call or fold.'
Choose one, Mr. Jang Tae Joo.
