(Fast Steak)
("My Son Got Food Poisoning After Eating Choigo Foods' Fast Steak")
Dal Nim, did you read the complaint?
Yes, I just read it.
Where is this person hospitalized at? We should go visit.
(Hanguk Hospital)
I'm Director Choi Sun Ho of Choigo Foods.
We heard your son got sick after eating our company's product.
- We're really sorry. - An apology won't cut it.
My son's in 12th grade right now.
He needs to take his college entrance exam soon.
But he's been throwing up and going to the bathroom all night.
He's completely drained out.
We'll find out the exact problem.
And if it turns out to be our fault, we'll compensate for the damage.
Of course, you should.
How will you take responsibility if he fails his college entrance exam?
I'm really sorry, but I have a question to ask to your son.
Can you tell us when and where you ate our steak?
I ate it at a convenience store...
in front of my academy after I finished class.
Can you tell us the name and location of that academy?
I'll tell you.
Stop asking my son questions when he's sick.
We'll investigate thoroughly about what went wrong.
It's obviously a mistake on your end.
We'll contact you again. I'm sorry.
It turns out that the same woman had filed a complaint last year...
saying that she found a foreign substance...
in another company's product.
But that turned out to be a lie.
Really?
Then she could be one of those consumers...
who just lie to get compensation.
Dal Nim, how did it go?
I looked into the convenience store.
The product wasn't expired,
and there weren't any problems with how they stored it.
The products were being sold in a refrigerated condition.
And the refrigerator was working fine.
I also checked with the warehouse and the production line.
And none of them had any problems.
It could be possible that she's lying to get money from us.
She had done the same thing once before.
But just to be sure, I'll check if the other consumers who bought...
from the same convenience store are fine and well.
What are you doing here?
Do you really not know why I'm here?
I heard he has food poisoning.
Thanks to the success of the new product,
the company's finally become stable and the stock price is increasing.
But how badly were the products stored for this to have happened?
We're looking into what happened.
And the person who wrote that complaint...
had once blackmailed another company after lying.
So it could be a fabricated scenario.
Don't jump to conclusions.
What are you going to do if it isn't fake?
Do you know how serious it is for a food company...
to prevent their consumers from getting food poisoning?
If the press finds out about this, it'll cause a headache.
Ask the PR Team to do everything they can...
to stop the press from finding out.
This news might spread everywhere, and it might actually...
become a huge deal.
Director Choi and the PR Team are doing their best...
to handle this situation, so don't worry.
Why do you think I ran over here so quickly?
You've never experienced anything like this.
I came to help you because I figured that you'd be lost.
As a major shareholder, I'm really worried that...
this effect the company very negatively.
Don't worry.
I won't cause any damage to the company.
You better investigate thoroughly and make sure it doesn't get worse.
Do you understand?
Is this the PR Team? I'm Oh Dal Nim.
I'd like to talk to you about the complaint.
Yes.
Come in.
Ms. Kang, don't you feel bored to stay at home all day?
Would you like to go outside with me?
Let's eat something nice and get a massage.
I wonder if that would be okay.
Let's go shopping too.
Get ready, and come downstairs.
Why is there less money than there should be?
What did I miss?
I need to have this organized before Mother comes home.
My gosh, what's Ms. Yoon doing here?
Hello.
Hello. We were passing by, and we thought we'd come and say hi.
I hope I didn't bother you.
No, you didn't bother me at all. Please come sit down.
Where's Ms. Cha?
She went outside to take a walk.
Please cook these for her. They're matsutake mushrooms.
Gosh, these are so expensive. Thank you so much.
Please sit down.
You look beautiful today.
Ms. Yoon picked out this outfit for me.
I see. It looks great on you.
Just wait here. I'll bring some tea.
No, it's okay. We went shopping, ate a meal,
and we even had tea afterward.
What's this?
Do you write household ledgers?
Ms. Cha is a very strict person.
Ms. Ko went through a lot because of that.
It was possible because it was Ms. Ko.
No one else would've been able to endure it all.
I see.
- We're home. - We're home.
- Welcome. - Welcome home.
Mom, that's a new outfit.
Ms. Yoon took me to a massage spa,
and we even went shopping.
You look 10 years younger.
Really? Does it look good on me?
It looks great on you.
I should've been the one to take her out.
Thank you for looking out for her.
No, it's okay. I know you're very busy.
We should all go together next time.
I'll buy you both a delicious meal and nice clothes.
Okay. I'll look forward to that day.
Come here.
This is for you. I bought it while I was out shopping.
- It's pretty. - Do you like it?
Yes, I love it. I should try it on right now.
Mother, what's this?
I bought you a sweater while I was out shopping.
The tea's ready. You should wash up, and come downstairs.
Thank you.
They must've purposely gotten the same sweater for us.
- Let's go. - Okay.
Come and drink your tea.
Some people might mistakenly think of you as a couple, not siblings.
My gosh, Mom.
Whatever the case, it looks really good on you guys.
- Do you like it? - Yes, I like it.
By the way, there was an incident at the company today.
What kind of incident?
Someone wrote a report saying that her son got food poisoning...
after he ate our steak. So I went to visit him at the hospital.
"Food poisoning"?
The new products are doing so well. Why did that have to happen now?
We're looking into it, so we'll soon find out if she's lying or not.
There are rumors in Wall Street...
saying that Choigo Foods is going to get sold.
It's going to get sold?
I have a bad feeling about this.
Do you think that rumor and the food poisoning is all just a coincidence?
Could it be Se Na again?
The fact that Jo Byung Soo met up with Mr. Hyun also bothers me.
I'm pretty sure that Se Na's trying to do something again.
What do you think that USB was about?
I feel like that USB will have something to do with this.
I think it was supposed to be a copied video.
I really don't think Jo Byung Soo would've given that cell phone...
to Se Na without even having a copied version of it.
What if Byung Soo really has a copied version of that video?
Then I'll try to do whatever I can...
to convince Byung Soo.
Food poisoning?
Are you saying someone got sick after eating our company's product?
It only recently came out in the market.
She could just be trying to blackmail us by lying.
So don't worry too much.
I was so happy that the company was doing so well.
Why does this kind of thing have to happen right now?
Exactly.
I'm sure you already know this, Sun Ho.
But you need to think of it as food for your own family.
You need to make food that can be trusted by everyone.
I hope this is not the case,
but please check thoroughly, and see if there's anything wrong...
with the product itself.
And if it turns out that we didn't do anything wrong,
- make it clear to the public. - Okay.
You must be tired. You should go and rest.
Okay.
Eun Jung, I want you to come to my room with the household ledger.
Did you finish writing the household ledger?
What are you doing?
My mom just told you to come to her room with the household ledger.
My gosh. I don't know why, but I get more nervous than you...
whenever my mom checks the household ledger.
Let's go. I'll stay by your side.
It's okay. You don't need to come.
I'll take care of it.
What? Honey. You need to take the ledger.
Honey.
Where's the ledger?
I didn't finish writing the ledger.
What?
I'm old enough to become a grandmother now.
Until when do I need to receive confirmation from you?
So are you saying that you refuse to write the ledger?
Yes. I'd like to be in control of the living expenses now.
Honey, why are you doing this all of a sudden?
This isn't sudden.
I've always wanted to tell you this.
But I always held back from doing so.
If people find out that I write household ledgers even at this age,
who would want to let their daughter get married to a family like ours?
This is why Sun Ho hasn't been able to find a wife.
What? Are you really blaming the household ledger for that?
It's not completely wrong.
Today, Ms. Yoon and Ms. Kang came over to visit.
And when they saw me writing a household ledger at this age,
they couldn't hold back their surprise.
People may say that...
you're thrifty and frugal,
but they actually think you're being too fussy.
Even if I were Dal Nim's mother,
I don't think I'd want to let Dal Nim get married to our family.
Her grandmother-in-law and mother-in-law are living together.
And she even needs to do volunteer work.
Eun Jung, are you looking down on me now that I don't work anymore?
Mother, I'm just saying that there are things that need to be changed.
I don't even spend money on things I don't need to.
The only designer bag I have is the one I got from Se Na.
Yes. Mom, she's right.
You should just leave everything to her.
All you need to do is enjoy the rest of your life comfortably.
Does that mean...
I shouldn't do anything and just wait until I'm on my deathbed?
You're treating me like a good-for-nothing old woman.
Mom, that's not what we meant.
Please try to understand my point of view.
Forget it. You can leave.
Why aren't you sleeping yet?
I'm knitting.
You worked all day. Aren't you tired?
When I have a lot on my mind, I knit to...
calm myself down.
It's for your mother, isn't it?
You already made one.
Then whose is that?
It's a secret.
It's not for me, is it?
You already have a red scarf. Do you want another one?
I was kidding.
That red scarf you gave me is enough.
You must be tired. You should sleep now.
Okay, I'll sleep after I do a little bit more.
Good night.
Byung Soo, please tell us the truth.
Are you sure you don't have a copied version of my cell phone?
What do you mean?
I don't have a copied version. You know what happened.
Se Na took that cell phone from me. I don't have anything anymore.
You sent Dal Nim a delivery package.
Why did you send her an empty USB?
I don't understand what you mean.
I did send someone a delivery package, but not to her.
I sent a delivery package to my friend, not Ms. Oh Dal Nim.
I know you're keeping quiet because you resent me so much.
I'm really sorry for...
making your company go bankrupt. Please allow me to apologize.
How did you find out about that?
Did you look into my past?
How I found out isn't what's important right now.
So what?
Do you think an apology is going to solve everything?
How easy.
I risked my whole life on that business.
There was a mortgage on my house.
And I spent every single penny on that business, but it went bankrupt.
My mom passed away because of shock, and I got divorced.
I wasn't even allowed see my son even if I wanted to.
Because of that, I have nobody by my side anymore.
I lost everything back then.
Do you think you can be forgiven for ruining someone's life...
with just a simple apology?
I'm sure you already knew that it was wrong to do what you did.
But you don't care about others.
You just probably cared about your own benefit.
For you, it could've been a thoughtless move.
But that ended up ruining my life completely.
What do you want me to do?
- I'll kneel down and beg. - Ms. Yoon, stop it.
I don't need any of that.
Nothing's going to change the fact that my life got ruined.
You can kneel and beg, but it'll all be useless.
I don't have a copied version of the cell phone, so forget it.
I don't want to see you...
pretend like you're sorry just so you can get that from me.
Byung Soo, please help us.
Without that cell phone,
Dal Nim won't be able to prove her innocence.
Aunt Soon Hee, I really don't have the copied version.
So don't get any hopes up.
Do you know who I just met?
I met Ms. Yoon.
Why?
She asked if I had a copied version.
So what did you tell her?
I told her that I don't have one.
So you better sell that company before I change my mind.
I'm in the process of handling it.
It'll get sold soon, so please just wait a little more.
Byung Soo.
Geum Sook hasn't eaten for days now.
I never told her not to.
Are you going to take responsibility if she starves to death?
Why would I take responsibility? I don't care if she dies or not.
- She's just a con artist. - What?
"A con artist"?
I want you to take that back.
Stop it.
All she cares about is you, and that's all you have to say to her?
She said she likes you. She said her feelings for you were sincere.
Why do you care?
She can't sleep, and she just keeps crying.
And it breaks my heart to see her cry all the time.
That's enough.
Did you guys agree to put on an act this time?
Do you think I'm going to fall for you again?
No way. Tell Dal Nim that...
she won't be able to get the cell phone by doing this.
That cell phone no longer exists,
so stop trying to use me.
That's not what I'm trying to do.
I don't want to listen to you.
I don't want to listen to you, and I don't want to see you.
So don't ever show up before me. Okay?
Byung Soo.
Geum Sook, stop crying.
You should eat something instead.
I made you some porridge.
- You should try to eat some. - No, I don't want to eat.
Why is she suffering because of that jerk?
She might collapse at this rate.
Geum Sook.
Ms. Oh, we have a situation. Did you read the notice board?
Why? What's wrong?
Other people are uploading complaints about the same problem.
I don't think she was just lying to get money.
What should we do?
Hello?
Yes, okay. We're currently looking into what happened.
I'm really sorry. Bye.
Ms. Oh, you should go see Director Choi right now.
The supermarkets are returning our new product.
This might lead to an over excessive amount of refunds.
I'll go see Director Choi.
Pick up every single phone call we get,
and politely tell them that we're sorry and that we're...
looking into what could've happened. Okay?
Hello?
I'm sorry. Yes.
Geum Sook, please try eating one bite.
There's nothing better than meat that will help you gain energy.
I said I don't want to eat anything.
Why do you keep doing this when I already said no?
I'm worried that you might collapse.
This product is so popular that I even stood in line to buy this...
when it wasn't even on sale.
Please have just one bite for my sake.
Plus, Dal Nim developed this.
Please just have a bite and cheer up.
Stop! Don't eat that!
What? Why did you tell her not to eat it?
- Is this our company's steak? - Yes.
You can't eat it. Here, look.
Choigo Foods' Fast Steak is the most searched word right now.
A large group of people got food poisoning after eating this steak.
Really?
Then what should I do about this?
I bought it at the original price.
But I can't even eat it. Should I ask for a refund?
That's not important right now.
Poor Dal Nim.
She was so excited that the new product became a success.
Why did this have to happen right now?
Exactly. I also ate one yesterday.
And I'm not really sure if I'm okay or not.
Anyway, things are going crazy at the head office right now.
Why are you guys slacking off again?
Ms. Ma, do you know that the new product is causing food poisoning?
What does that have to do with us?
Hurry up, and get back to work.
It has everything to do with us. It's our company's product.
It's not being sold in our restaurant.
So why should I care?
You must be really happy now that...
Dal Nim's newly developed product isn't doing so well.
Yes, I'm really happy.
I even feel like yelling "Hurray" with my arms wide open.
Now just get back to work. Hurry up.
I guess the plan worked.
Now, all that's left is for the company to be sold.
I checked the ingredients at the warehouse,
but everything was fine.
I think there was a manufacturing problem.
We looked into the product.
And the food poisoning bacteria were only found in the products...
that were released last Wednesday.
Then could it be a hygiene problem?
The factory's hygienic condition and refrigerators were all fine.
But for now, I stopped the factory...
and the distribution of all the products.
I think Se Na's behind this.
You know that there are rumors about Choigo Foods being sold, right?
Yes, I know. I've looked into the factory's CCTV footage...
and also the record of who entered and exited.
But I couldn't find anything suspicious.
I'm sure we just weren't able to find it yet.
There has to be something that went wrong.
You're right.
We should investigate the warehouse and factory a little more.
You know that the food poisoning bacteria were found...
only in the products that were released last Wednesday, right?
Did something happen that day?
No, nothing special happened.
We just had a group of executives visit our factory.
The executives visited the factory?
Yes. They came to show gratitude...
for the success of the new product.
They went on a factory tour after they received a short briefing.
Did anything unusual happen that day?
No, everything went well as planned.
Do you have the list of executives who came?
Yes.
- Here you go. - Thank you.
(Song Dae Sik, Hong Se Na, Kim Hak Gyo, Han Min Joo)
That's weird.
Mr. Hyun isn't on the list.
It's funny that he didn't come even when Se Na came.
I know he's not an official executive.
But everyone who came are all in favor of him including Se Na.
So there's no way for him to not come.
Did Mr. Hyun not come to the factory that day?
No, he didn't.
It's weird that Mr. Hyun is the only person who didn't go to the factory.
Do you think Se Na and Mr. Hyun planned this together?
Se Na could've acted as an alibi by going to the factory,
and Mr. Hyun could've done something while she was there.
I agree with you.
If Mr. Hyun really did this,
where do you think he could've gotten the food poisoning bacteria?
Well, our company's component analysis laboratory...
also cultivates the bacteria for research.
Then I'll investigate the laboratory.
As you can see here,
we're currently cultivating various kinds of food poisoning bacteria.
I counted all the numbers, but they all added up fine.
None of them were stolen or missing.
I checked everything myself.
Did anything unusual happen last Wednesday?
I already checked the meeting record and daily report for that day,
but nothing suspicious had happened.
Did Se Na or Mr. Hyun ever pay you a visit?
Ms. Hong came to give us some snacks.
Se Na went there?
Yes. She gave us snacks saying that we did a good job...
in developing the new product.
Does she buy you snacks often?
She used to back when she worked here as a team manager.
But it was her first visit ever since she quit.
Okay. Thank you.
Why did you want to see me?
We have a few questions to ask you about the food poisoning incident.
I've also been meaning to visit you because of that.
How in the world are you handling things?
How could you let that kind of accident occur?
Don't you know how serious food poisoning is...
to a food company?
That day when the executives paid a visit to the factory...
All the executives that you're close with had attended the event.
But why didn't you go with them?
I may be a stockholder, but I'm not an executive. So why would I go?
But you're practically the leader of that group.
So I find it weird that you didn't go.
Are you trying to interrogate me or something?
Are you doubting me for having done something?
My wife was involved in a minor collision accident that day,
so I was at the hospital.
I was in the ER at Jaeil Hospital. You can check if you want.
There are rumors saying that our company's going to get sold.
Are you sure you and Se Na aren't trying to sell our company...
by causing this food poisoning incident to happen?
What do you take me for?
The success of the new product would lead to an increase in stock price.
Why would I want to sell the company?
You and Se Na worked together once in leaking the recipe.
I feel like both of you are capable of doing much worse.
Stop connecting me with Ms. Hong. I really didn't do it.
Just be honest. The truth will come out once we start investigating.
Do you want to get arrested again?
What's wrong with you? I said I didn't do it.
Stop asking me, and just confront Ms. Hong about it.
I know nothing about this.
He's really angry about it. It doesn't seem like he's lying.
I think Se Na could've done this alone.
We need to find evidence.
There has to be proof lying around somewhere.
Ms. Hong.
Mr. Hyun, what are you doing at my house?
Did you do this?
I'm talking about the food poisoning.
What are you talking about?
We're also on our way to find out what happened.
You were pretty persistent about wanting to sell the company.
Did you cause food poisoning because things weren't going your way?
Must you destroy a company that's doing so well?
It's a misunderstanding.
Why would I ever go that far?
I'm disappointed that you think of me that way.
I'm also really upset about what happened as a major shareholder.
That's why Se Kang and I were just about to go see how bad this is.
Director Choi and Dal Nim kept accusing me.
They think of this as our doing.
Don't you dare try to involve me into this mess.
The recipe leak was...
the last thing I ever helped you out with.
I'm not going to help you this time.
What? Are Sun Ho and Dal Nim already suspicious of you?
Hey, what if they find out that it was us?
How? They have no evidence.
Don't worry.
Let's go, Dal Nim.
I ran over as soon as I heard.
I heard about the additional food poisoning complaints.
I think Se Na did this.
We need to find evidence.
We need to move faster than Se Na.
I'll go to the warehouse after I visit the hospital.
Okay. Jae Wook, you should go with Dal Nim.
And call me if anything happens.
Okay. Let's go, Dal Nim.
I'd like to apologize as the major shareholder of Choigo Foods.
What good is an apology going to do?
Please call me whenever you need help.
I'll help you get compensated...
for both your emotional and material damage.
The director and team manager treated me as if I was a fraud.
But you guys are different.
Please let me apologize if my employee offended you.
I'm going to file a lawsuit against Choigo Foods.
If that's what you want, we'll help you do that.
Really?
A major shareholder is going to help me with the lawsuit?
It's only right for us to compensate for any kind of damages...
that may have occurred in this process.
You can do whatever you wish.
We'll help you with everything we can.
What are you doing here?
Why? Am I not allowed to be here?
I came here to apologize as the major shareholder.
How in the world are you handling the situation?
The least you could do was apologize.
But I heard you accused her for lying.
Get out of this room. I have nothing more to say to you.
Please hear me out.
We were mistaken about you. I'm sorry.
Mistaken?
You treated me like a fraud.
We came to compensate and apologize for the damages.
- So... - I don't want to hear any of that.
This lawyer said he's going to help me file a lawsuit.
I'm going to sue you.
So get out of here right now. Get out.
I'm really suspicious of Se Na.
Me too.
I should call Director Choi first.
Okay. I'm going to have a talk with Se Na.
Why are you still here?
Let's talk.
About what?
If you have time to talk to me,
you should use that time to take care of what's going on.
What are you trying to do this time?
Why are you here?
The fact that you're here is enough for me to doubt you.
I already told you.
I said I came here as a major shareholder because I was worried.
You don't seem irrelevant to this incident.
I know about the rumors saying that Choigo Foods is going to get sold.
What are you talking about?
It's doing so well right now because of the new product.
Why would anybody want to sell it?
That makes no sense.
That's probably just a rumor that's going around Wall Street.
- You don't need to believe it. - I hoped that it'd just be a rumor.
But seeing you come here like this...
made me become confident that it's not a rumor.
You're trying to have the company get sold...
by causing this food poisoning incident to go viral.
I think you're more than capable of doing such a thing.
You think you lost Choigo Foods and Sun Ho to Dal Nim.
Isn't that why you're trying to destroy Choigo Foods?
Selling the company?
I never really thought of doing that.
But if you fail to take care of the food poisoning incident,
I might actually change my mind.
We barely managed to stabilize the company...
by successfully developing the new product.
I can't believe something so unfortunate had to happen.
You're the only person who would be benefit from this incident.
If the company sways, so will the executives.
Then you'll use that chance to convince the executives...
to sell the company.
If this incident doesn't get taken care of,
the executives might actually want to sell the company themselves.
And no one including Dal Nim will be able to stop that.
If this doesn't get handled properly,
Dal Nim might have to take full responsibility and get fired.
No, that will never happen.
I'm going to protect her by revealing that it was your doing.
I'm not going to forgive you if anything bad happens to Dal Nim.
You're siblings, so you'll never be able to end up with her.
But why are you so obsessed about protecting her?
Why do you think of Dal Nim so dearly?
She can never be yours even if you want her to be.
That doesn't change anything.
Dal Nim is my everything,
and she always will be.
Then if you experience losing someone that dear to you,
you might be able to understand how I feel.
Because I lost my everything as well.
Sun Ho was my everything.
And Dal Nim took him away from me.
Do you think I'm going to let Dal Nim get away with that?
I can't wait to see...
how you and Sun Ho will react after you both lose Dal Nim.
I'm busy, so I'm going to go now.
Oh, right. I left some documents at the hospital...
while I was on the phone with Director Choi.
- Let's go together. - No, I'll be right back.
You can wait for me in the car.
Then if you experience losing someone that dear to you,
you might be able to understand how I feel.
Because I lost my everything as well.
Sun Ho was my everything.
And Dal Nim took him away from me.
I can't wait to see...
how you and Sun Ho will react after you both lose Dal Nim.
Do you think I'm going to let Dal Nim get away with that?
The receiver cannot answer your call. Please leave a message...
Dal Nim.
Dal Nim. Dal Nim.
The receiver cannot answer your call. Please leave a message...
Dal Nim!
- Dal Nim! - Chef Jung.
(Sweet Enemy)
Please help Dal Nim.
What are you doing? He's the one...
who should be on his knees, not you.
It's only a matter of time before the company goes bankrupt.
What do you think about selling the company?
Ms. Oh.
Someone swapped the test tube.
Do you remember who threw this away?
Yes, it was her.
