- This is a surprise. - We need to talk.
I have nothing to say to you so please leave.
Please help us.
It's cold, so you should get going.
Help our family and we'll be in your debt forever.
You're only one of the many desperate souls.
Go back.
- Give me Young Hwa. - What?
I'm asking for her hand in marriage.
Did you just ask for my daughter?
Yes, I'll marry Young Hwa.
Who'd approve that when you're still married?
The papers haven't been signed yet,
but we're as good as divorced.
Is that so?
Does Ms. Jung think so too?
When I heard that you've been found,
I immediately did a background check on you.
I thought you'd be a good match for my daughter.
I'll divorce my wife right away...
if you approve of...
Marriage isn't a train that you can hop on and hop off.
Besides, even if you were divorced,
I'd never let my daughter marry someone with a child.
Now leave.
I saw your name on my mom's secret ledger.
- What? - It was right at the top.
Are you trying to threaten me?
You have some nerve blackmailing me of all people.
I now see you had a card up your sleeve.
That's why you suggested a marriage.
Well, just know that...
you made a big mistake.
What are you doing here?
How's your mom?
What?
You went to see her this morning.
- Didn't they let you? - Oh, that.
She seemed all right.
Don't worry too much.
That's good to hear.
I was truly worried about her well-being.
Look at your knees.
Where did it get this dirty?
- It's all right. - Hang on. I'm almost done.
What's wrong? Are you sick?
No.
It's nothing. I just have an upset stomach.
Should I buy you medicine?
If I need any, I'll buy some myself.
You should get back to work.
You should rethink your resignation.
It's not good for the company,
and people will think that you're involved too.
Those things I'm not scared of.
My wife made the mess,
so I should take responsibility.
Anyway, stop worrying about me and see how she's doing.
You know what she's like.
I doubt that she's making it easy for them.
Of course. I'll get going then.
Mr. Cha, this is a surprise.
You sure have a loving son.
He came to see me earlier regarding his mom.
I'm terribly sorry.
Please disregard anything he said.
How can I when he...
asked for my daughter?
I'm sorry?
He threatened me for her hand in marriage.
You should be more strict with the boy.
I know you feel bad about all that he had to endure,
but you'll regret it later if you're not.
Get the car ready.
You offered to marry Young Hwa?
How dare you betray your own wife and child!
I can't just neglect a way out of this mess.
So...
are you willing to divorce Mo Ah now?
Yes, it wouldn't even be that difficult.
What? It'll be easy for you?
This is the only way I can save Mom and this company.
How could you?
How much more are you going to disappoint me?
Go to Mr. Cha right now.
Go to him and apologize for what you said earlier.
- Right now. - Dad.
- Hello, Sir. - Come on in.
Long time no see. What brings you by?
I came to discuss my business contract with your son.
If you two are busy, I could always come back.
We're done talking anyway, so he's all yours.
I'll pretend that this never happened.
What was that about?
He seemed angry.
It's nothing. Please have a seat.
Did...
Did your dad say anything to you?
My dad?
He didn't.
He did tell me...
to go on a blind date.
Although, he says that all the time.
Is that so? Do Hoon must be aghast.
Aren't you?
The CEO slapped his own son.
Do Hoon's lucky that's all he did.
Now what's surprising is that...
Do Hoon went to Mr. Cha.
Would Mr. Cha accept the deal?
I didn't think it'd be that easy.
Is there really a secret ledger?
Do Hoon did threaten him with it.
Even if it does exist,
Mr. Cha wouldn't be intimidated unless it regards his daughter.
Look into Young Hwa. The clock's ticking so hurry.
Yes, Sir.
Look how shiny it is.
Hello, Sir. It's me.
It's Kong Chun Soo from the community center.
How did Mr. Kim's interview go?
Right.
There are a lot of benefits to hiring a handicapped.
Government grants are provided and your taxes will be reduced.
Thank you, Sir. I'll be there right away.
See you soon.
A piece of garbage?
This'll be good for another 10 years.
Wait. Why isn't it working?
Unbelievable. She's nothing but a con artist.
Here we go.
That's what it means.
You must be here to pay up.
As if. Do something about my car.
It won't start again.
That's absurd.
Now drop the act and pay up.
Drop the act? You must be joking.
Do I really seem that way to you?
Stop lying.
My brother's magic hands can bring any car to life.
Hang on.
Exactly how old are you?
You have some nerve addressing me like I'm your junior.
Some nerve?
How old might you be then?
You're barely 30 by the looks of it,
and it's rude to be cheeky to your seniors.
I'm 37,
and I have a little brother who's as tall as you.
As tall as me?
I sure would like to meet him.
Where's Nam Koo?
Hi, Sir.
No one's around at the moment.
Give me back my money or fix my car.
Excuse me, Sir.
Bring the car then.
And stop quacking at me, you annoying squid.
Did you just call me a squid?
Tell Nam Koo that...
I want you gone soon.
Can't we leave in spring? It's too cold outside.
What are you playing at?
How can I bring a car that won't start?
Excuse me, Sir.
Drag it here yourself.
Are you going to pay if we go and pick it up?
I've made myself clear that I won't wait.
So vacate my property this instance!
While I plead with him, you go and bring your car.
Just do whatever you have to.
Sir!
You've got to be kidding me.
Who on earth does she think she is?
You offered to marry Young Hwa?
How dare you betray your own wife and child!
Sir, Mr. Kang Nam Koo is here to see you.
- Tell him I'm not here. - Yes, Sir.
Let go of me.
Did you really have to lie?
I'm not a debt collector, you know.
What brings you by?
I'm here to accept your apology.
Shouldn't I be accepting yours?
You did go back on your promise.
I was going to.
But coming to think of it,
friends don't ask friends to go to prison.
You're right. I apologize.
It's not like I wanted one, but something didn't feel right.
If you're not busy, how about we go for a drink?
I'm sorry,
but I'm off to visit my mom.
Right, she's in custody.
I'll take a rain check then.
I sure picked the wrong day to come.
Whatever. I apologized.
Hello? This is Kang Nam Koo.
This is TMO Department Store calling about your suit.
Yes, I'll be right there.
Let's forget about him and start afresh.
Did I eat something bad? Why do I feel sick?
I'll need new ones to con girls,
but I don't have the money.
You're the girl from the river.
That was you, right?
I can't believe I ran into you here.
You must be mistaken.
I know I'm not, so don't play me.
Who are you here to push in next?
I'm here to buy shampoo.
I'll get going then.
I can't let you when you made me catch a cold.
Who are you...
and why did you say those things?
You know, I regret saying those things that day.
Now move aside.
You're a gold digger.
I bet you ran into me on purpose today.
You want some kind of leverage on me.
How did you know that I'm a good target?
Don't be ridiculous.
I'm in trouble as it is because of you.
Why? What did I ever do to you?
You're the one who pushed me into the river.
Then leave your family and head on into prison.
Just so you know, I'm not a gold digger.
So let's go back to being strangers.
That was close.
Well, she's a bit dowdy to be a gold digger.
Thanks for the meal.
Is that all you're going to eat?
I don't have much of an appetite.
Let me see.
How's your cheek?
How did you know?
Mr. Cha isn't an easy man to convince.
I'm fine, so don't do something like that again.
You're lucky your dad only ended it with a slap.
Tomorrow,
you'll be officially arrested.
Do Hoon.
I'm glad that...
you chose me over Mo Ah.
However,
I don't want to use you to get out of here.
If it backfires on you...
I only wanted for you to divorce Mo Ah,
so that you'd be happy. It wasn't for me.
Do you understand...
what I'm saying?
Mom...
Only trust your uncle right now.
Don't listen to anyone else.
What do you mean by that?
I heard that...
your dad resigned.
Your uncle loves the company...
just as much as your dad, if not more.
So right now,
he's the only one you can trust.
Going to Mr. Cha was the right move...
since he ordered me to do so.
He did?
Then wait it out.
He must have a plan B.
Your dad can't know about this though.
Always remember that.
Ms. Cha's background check came up oddly clean.
Her divorce was only because of her husband's infidelity.
Of course it's clean.
Mr. Cha would've tied up any loose ends.
Should I have her followed?
No.
We can't afford Mr. Cha finding out.
You're dismissed.
How's your mom doing?
It may not be such a bad thing.
A few years in prison might do her personality some good.
What do I need to do now?
I went to Mr. Cha like you suggested.
What's my next move?
This is an odd turn. Since when have you been so pliant?
You wouldn't have...
sent me to him without a backup plan.
Do you know what his one weakness is?
It's his daughter.
Here.
You'll find the answer here.
(Cha Young Hwa, Designer)
(Cha Sang Soo, Four-time re-elected assemblyman)
Are you kidding me? There's nothing on here.
It's clean, I know.
That's why it can't be right.
Dig deeper and you'll find something.
I want the walls exactly like this,
but stripes on the pillars.
Yes, of course.
Could I host an opening event?
Yes, I'm the one in charge.
Great. I'll look forward to it.
Today at five,
you have an appointment at Hwangsil Women's Clinic.
I almost forgot.
We'll talk more tomorrow.
Yes, Ma'am.
It looks like I'll have to host another event.
Assemblyman Cha's daughter...
is sure picky.
Assemblyman Cha's daughter?
Do you mean Cha Young Hwa?
Yes, she's bringing her business to us.
I see.
That's why she was with Do Hoon.
So?
She's so picky,
and everyone's already talking about her.
My mouth is tired from having to say "Yes, Ma'am" all day.
Call me if you need any help with the event.
Thanks for offering.
What's wrong? Are you all right?
I'm fine.
I've been like this since morning today.
Mo Ah, are you pregnant?
Pregnant?
Don't be careless enough to get pregnant.
We'll have the fortune teller give us a date first.
This isn't something that you should decide yourselves.
I better get going.
You're not pregnant.
You have gastrointestinal disorder brought on by stress.
I was scared over nothing.
Still, I'm a little disappointed.
That's Cha Young Hwa.
What are you staring at?
I knew it.
He was lying about his car breaking down.
- Who? - The one with the old car.
He's not here with our money yet.
He must be busy.
You should stop waiting and call it a night.
Nam Koo,
I wonder how Ms. Hong is doing in custody.
Who are you worrying about when we're more in trouble?
She came by personally to apologize.
A real man doesn't hold grudges, just so you know.
Grudges?
Compared to her son, yours is a saint.
I'll show him what it is to hold a grudge.
What's up with her?
Finally, you're here.
That's right. I'm here.
I dragged my car here too.
Are you sure?
You could've drove it up to the corner.
You'll know once you start the engine.
Anyway, fix it while I go to the bathroom.
I brought it like you told me to.
Idiot, the bathroom's that way.
I'm heading home.
Didn't we fix this? Why is it back here?
Are you sure you fixed it?
He said the car broke down again.
That's absurd because I fixed it.
- Maybe the battery's drained. - The battery?
I'll take care of it. I've done it before.
Sure, I'll leave it to you.
- I'll get going then. - Okay.
Did you fix it?
How old's your battery? It seems like it's drained.
The battery?
Yes, it's quite old.
Is that the only issue? This better not be a con.
Do you want a new one or not?
How much is it?
It's 70 dollars, but I'll take 60.
With the 100 you owe, that'll be 160 dollars.
What's this? Hold on.
This you can buy a snack with.
Now where's my money?
Isn't it perfect?
I think the test drive proved that it is.
Can't you stop counting the money?
Hold on. Something's not right.
That's 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6...
- How many was I on? - Nine.
Right. 9, 10, 11, 12, 13.
That's weird.
Stop counting. It's all there.
I wouldn't rip you off.
I should count again at home. You can let me off here.
Why? It's cold, so I'll give you a lift.
My house is up there. Thanks for the lift.
What? Unbelievable!
The test drive was a con to drive herself home.
She's gone.
Now here's your goodbye.
I honestly thought I'd get caught.
I was smart to mix in small bills.
Count away. It'll never be the right amount.
Are you sick? What's the pill for?
It's nothing.
I actually went to see an obstetrician.
An obstetrician?
Are you pregnant?
What's with the expression?
Shouldn't you be happy if I were?
Tell me. Are you pregnant?
I'm not.
I thought I was, but it turned out to be...
a gastrointestinal disorder.
While I was there, I saw Cha Young Hwa.
- You saw Young Hwa? - Yes.
She must be pregnant.
I didn't know she was married.
No, she's a divorcee.
I see.
She must have an upset stomach like I do.
An obstetrician?
What is it that you want to say?
Someone has to take over as CEO as soon as possible.
We can already see that China wants to back off.
I'll make sure that the deal goes through.
You should step down from project manager.
What do you mean I should step down?
He's Ms. Hong's son.
Besides, he's nothing without his father.
So that's why...
you're eager to appoint a new CEO.
I'm afraid that'll be the best for everyone.
Sure.
Let me ask this though.
Is this what everyone wants?
Or is this a personal agenda of yours?
Don't take me the wrong way.
If the board wants a new CEO, then we should vote for one.
So raise your hand and admit it's what you want.
Director Shin.
- Yes, Sir. - You heard the others.
Step down as project manager,
or they'll be asking me to step down next.
You saw what happened.
We need to be high alert.
If not, then those rats will steal the company from us.
I'm off to see your mom.
While I'm there, think of a way to save us.
This is a surprise.
I didn't expect you here.
You made a mistake this time.
Mr. Cha might be hungry for money,
but he wouldn't marry off his daughter to a single father.
Give me the ledger.
Is this your way of saying that I should confess?
There is one then.
I knew Do Hoon wouldn't have made an empty threat.
Now where is it?
What do you want it for?
Don't tell me...
you're going to use that to threaten Mr. Cha.
Do Hoon already...
tried that.
It'll be different coming from me.
Now hand it over.
I'll show him what it's like to be intimidated.
Is that...
really the only way?
Is that how you repay me for getting my son slapped?
There's no other way.
Now trust me this once and hand it over.
There isn't one.
Besides, the company can't lose you too.
While I'm gone,
please look after Do Hoon.
It's clean, I know.
That's why it can't be right.
What's wrong? Is there something on my face?
Of course not.
I just need to ask a few things to post on our website.
When did you study in the US?
After my divorce.
- What's your blood type? - Type A.
Are you ill?
We like to know of our partners' health.
Am I ill?
Is there a doctor you regularly see?
I don't know how I should answer that.
I'll say I don't.
Do you take any pills?
Vitamins can also be an answer.
What do you think you're doing?
(Business Partner Checklist)
Why? Is there something wrong?
I just thought that the questions were weird.
I'm almost done.
Lastly,
why did your marriage end?
Are you posting that too?
No, this is of personal curiosity.
It was a matter of pride.
I mentioned his infidelity before he could say otherwise.
Excuse me.
Hello?
I saw Cha Young Hwa there.
She must be pregnant.
I'll be right there.
Those are for a cold.
That's not going on the website, is it?
I'll get going then.
I'll be right back.
Sure.
What are you doing?
I came by to return your pen.
- That's not mine. - Isn't it?
I thought it was.
I'll get going then.
- What is this? - Tell me what it's for.
Can I open it?
Of course. Go ahead.
Is this for your wife?
No.
That's a relief. These pills...
treat infertility.
Infertility?
Yes, that's what it's used for.
Someone taking this pill would have a hard time getting pregnant.
I'd appreciate it if we kept this between us.
An unloaded gun won't work.
You at least need blanks,
so find Young Hwa's weakness.
Blanks won't work either, but real bullets surely will.
Mr. Cha,
it's Shin Do Hoon.
There's something I want you to have.
The slap must've really hurt your ego.
Now you'll think twice before acting rash.
It's all right.
In exchange for a slap,
I obtained something valuable.
- Something valuable? - A new wife.
Your daughter to be exact.
Earlier, you were asking,
but now you're saying she's already yours.
You're still clueless, aren't you?
I'm your only chance...
of her ever remarrying.
That does it.
I was going to let this slide for your dad's sake,
but I guess I should give him an earful first.
Now watch what happens when you speak out of line.
(CEO Shin)
They're pills.
The ones your daughter takes to treat her infertility.
What did you just say?
This is the real reason...
her marriage ended.
You probably know her better than I do,
so I'll give it to you straight.
Young Hwa...
will never remarry.
Even if she does,
her in-laws wouldn't be fond...
of the fact that she's infertile.
If...
If you're playing me in some way,
you've got another thing coming.
Aren't you heading home?
Well...
I'm waiting for a call.
Whose call?
My...
My college professor's.
I see.
Should I head home alone then?
No, I'll join you.
(Assemblyman Cha)
Why aren't you answering?
(Assemblyman Cha)
Yes, this is Shin Do Hoon.
I looked into it.
Can I...
trust you with my daughter?
Yes, Sir.
You can trust me.
