What? Is that all you can say?
Rude and arrogant? Say that again.
Say it again!
What's going on?
Mr. Jung.
What's the matter?
Se Young.
What happened?
You see, I tripped up and got flour on her clothes.
Look at this, Dad.
Mr. Ko did this, so I shouted a bit...
and this man said I'm rude and arrogant.
It took me so long to choose this outfit and now it's ruined.
I'm so annoyed.
Se Young. Are you making this fuss because flour got on your clothes?
- Dad. - You can always change.
If Mr. Ko tripped up, you should've asked if he's okay.
Dad, I...
Apologize to him right now.
- No, sir. - Go on.
I'm sorry.
Don't be. I'm sorry, Se Young.
Sorry about that. Were you hurt?
No, sir. I'm fine.
Gosh, Se Young, what happened to your clothes?
Se Young.
I'm sorry, sir.
Don't be. You were right.
She's not usually like that. It's an important day and she was...
worried about her outfit. I hope you understand.
Yes, sir.
Get back to work.
Sorry for the fuss so early in the morning. Get back to work.
Are you okay, Mr. Ko?
Yes, I'm fine.
I think Se Young's very angry, though.
Honey, what happened?
She was so excited about her blind date and now...
she won't say anything and just cries.
It's nothing.
Would she cry so sadly about nothing?
My goodness.
Why did you say that?
She was rude to the factory workers many times before.
I'd always thought I should teach her a lesson.
Mr. Jung almost never gets that angry.
Will everything be okay?
How dare Mr. Choi say that. That's just unbelievable.
That's enough. Se Young deserved it this time.
Even then. This happened because you favor Mr. Choi too much.
Se Young, are you okay?
Come and sit down.
Were you very upset?
I knew how you felt,
but as the CEO, I had to say what I did.
Yes. He's right about that.
If your dad had sided with you then,
the workers would badmouth him because Mr. Ko was involved.
What about him?
He worked at our factory for over 10 years.
Not many people work as hard as if it's their business.
What if he gets so upset and ends up wanting to quit?
He can if he wants to. Must we tiptoe around a factory worker?
Se Young, you say that because you don't know yet.
It's not that easy to deal with people.
There's so much to consider.
I'm sorry if what I said upset you.
Do you understand why I said it?
Yes, I do.
I have to go.
I should get back to work too.
Oh dear...
Have a good day.
See you.
(CEO Jung Jae Man)
We managed to purchase the Wolmido plot at the price you wanted.
Well done. Then let's move onto the next stage.
I asked Congressman Park for a meeting this afternoon.
I see. Call me when he sets the time.
Yoon Dong Chul went to the police station...
to ask about the witness.
Did he find out?
No, there's no way they'd tell him.
He had a fit and got thrown out.
Keep an eye on him for a while.
Yes, sir.
Do you have the witness under control?
Yes, of course. Don't worry.
Okay, then. Thank you.
Mr. Bang. Mr. Bang.
Did you find out?
Are you that desperate? It's only been a few days.
My contact said he'd get back to me. Wait a bit longer.
Okay.
Do you have money?
You need to pay a deposit to get them started.
That's the thing.
Do you have any money?
- Money? - Yes.
I took out a loan to pay for my eldest daughter's wedding.
Did you? Where can I get some money?
What is Dong Chul up to these days?
Is he looking for a job?
He goes out every day,
but he won't tell me what he does.
It won't be easy to settle after 10 years in prison,
but I hope he finds work.
Hi, Dong Chul.
Where were you all morning? Have you eaten?
Yes, I have.
Do you have some money saved up?
- Money? - Yes.
What do you need money for?
I need it for something.
Like what?
You don't need to know.
Gosh, Dong Chul, you're really shameless.
You're asking for money no questions asked when you should be earning?
What's wrong with you?
Shut your mouth unless you're going to lend me some.
What a nuisance.
Gosh.
Do you have any? I need it for something important.
How much?
This is all I have right now.
Why are you here?
I just dropped by. I have to go.
Dong Chul.
Did he say he needs money?
Yes.
What is it this time?
I hope he settles in soon.
Ms. Oh.
Hello, Dong Chul. What brings you here?
I came here to see you, of course.
Me? Why?
- Have a seat. - Thanks.
You must've earned a fortune.
Doesn't it take a lot to buy a place like this?
Why do you ask? Do you want to open a cafe?
I can't.
Are you here to ask me for money?
Gosh, you're quick when it comes to things like that.
Can you lend me some?
I don't have any.
Come on, lend me some money.
I put all I had into this cafe and there's nothing left.
Ms. Oh.
That's the truth. Do you want to see my bank statement?
What should I do?
This is Taesan Noodles.
Just a moment.
Mr. Choi, it's for you.
This is Choi Jeong Wook. Hi, Jeong Hee.
Really?
I asked for lenience.
Okay. I'll talk to them again.
I didn't want to tell them where you worked,
but they threatened me and I had to.
I'll deal with it. Don't worry.
Okay, bye.
Is something wrong?
Let's go out for lunch.
- Two sets, please. - Sure.
Is your family having problems?
I told you before that our family has some debt.
Yes.
My father was very sick before he died.
His medical bills and our living expenses...
got us deep into debt.
My siblings and I are working hard to pay it back,
but something came up and we're two months behind.
I explained to our creditors and promised to pay them next month.
I think they came to my family home.
What happens now?
It's fine. I'll deal with it.
You have nothing to worry.
I'm sorry to request a sudden meeting when you're so busy.
What is it about this time?
I bought some land on Wolmido a while ago.
I want to alter the purpose of use.
I need your help with that.
Mr. Jung, you know that's a difficult thing to do.
I know it's no easy task.
That's why I'm asking for your help.
Help me out.
It's almost impossible.
I brought you a gift.
What is this?
It's nothing much.
Just a small token of my appreciation.
My factory is hiring right now.
Come and work with me.
Forget it. I'll look bad working at the same place as my daughter.
You can't care about that now.
Do you think it's easy to find work at your age?
It's not like you're a great candidate.
What's wrong with me?
My criminal record?
Yes.
That's why looking for work isn't my priority right now.
What do you mean?
You don't need to know. Do you have any money?
I told you already that I don't.
How come no one I know has anything saved up?
Hi, Tae Soo.
Mr. Yoon, you never got to say hello.
This is Kang Tae Soo. He works at the factory with me.
He's been staying at your house for about four years now.
It's nice to meet you. I'm Kang Tae Soo.
Hi, hi.
Sit.
Why did you get off work so late?
I made a delivery.
Now that we have more customers, there's more to deliver.
That's right, we have more clients.
I might have to work overtime starting next week.
Your boss is putting you to work...
and lining his own pockets.
The rich people are worse.
Don't say that about my boss!
Do you like working overtime?
I do. We get paid extra for it.
What? You get paid extra?
- For overtime? - Yes.
Our boss pays every penny for the work we do.
Last month, we got a raise because sales soared.
He's also very sensitive towards our needs. He's a great man.
Is he? He's sensitive towards your needs?
Is Soo In doing well?
You bet. You know what she's like.
Don't you want to work with me there?
How was the blind date?
I don't want to talk about it.
Thinking about it makes the fruit taste bad.
Have some more.
I had enough. I'll go to my room.
What's wrong? Did she not have fun?
They weren't people. They were sweet potatoes.
No, was it potatoes?
Potatoes?
It's bad to judge people by their looks.
She should've gotten to know them. It's a good opportunity.
How so?
The boys were from Hanguk College.
So what? There are Hanguk College graduates everywhere.
Mr. Choi studied there too.
Se Young's boyfriend will need more than a flashy degree.
What kind of man do you think she should date?
I have a whole list of conditions. He must not lack anything.
She's our precious daughter.
No one cares about her as much as you do.
Is that all you can say?
The rumors are true. You're rude and arrogant.
Shoot. That was so annoying.
How do I get revenge?
Mugwort soup is the best in early spring.
I don't like mugwort. It's bitter.
No, it's not. It's sweet.
If you don't want it, I'll have it.
I didn't say I didn't want it. It's mine.
Soo In, how do you like working at the factory?
What?
Why are you so surprised?
Do you do as your boss tells you?
Yes. I'm doing as best I can.
So, is your boss good to you?
Yes. He cares a lot about me...
and looks out for me.
She works for Se Young's dad.
She's Se Young's friend, so of course he'd be nice to her.
Really?
Are you friends with the CEO's daughter?
Yes.
Dong Chul, why are you asking that all of a sudden?
What? Why?
Just yesterday you screamed at her as if you'd never see her again.
Why do you care now?
Is it wrong for a dad to ask if his girl is doing well at work?
I'm saying it's strange because you never cared until now.
It's not strange. Get back to your food.
Don't you have a lecture today?
No. My professor has a seminar and can't teach.
Good. You got the day off.
Honey, did you put Mr. Choi in charge of all the contracts?
Is that safe?
What do you mean?
What if he makes a mistake?
Why did you give him such an important duty?
I watched him closely so far and he's very good at his job.
He's hardworking and detailed and I think I can trust him.
Do you? Don't trust him too much, though.
Are you upset about what happened yesterday?
It's not just about that, but I'm afraid that...
if you trust him too much, he'll get arrogant and make mistakes.
Don't worry about that. He's never made a mistake so far.
That's a relief, then.
I guess he really got on your bad side.
Are you working on the Jeil Groceries contract?
Yes, I'm putting together the relevant documents.
Good. You must know better than anyone that it's an important deal.
Make sure you have everything you need.
Yes. Don't worry, sir.
Tell Ms. Yoon to take the sales and purchase slips...
- and go to the tax office. - Yes, sir.
Mr. Jung wants you to take the sales and purchase slips...
to the tax office.
Okay.
Take care.
I will.
(Taesan Industries)
Oh dear.
Mr. Yoon.
What are you doing here?
Are you here to work? I'm glad you made up your mind.
Don't get so excited. It's not that.
Where's the boss' office?
It's over there, but why?
Get back to your own business.
Mr. Yoon. Mr. Yoon!
What's going on?
What brings you here?
I'm here to see the CEO.
Did you make an appointment?
An appointment...
Mr. Choi, that contract...
Who are you?
I am Yoon Soo In's father.
Why would you wish to see me?
So, the thing is... Well...
I need an advance in pay.
An advance in pay?
Yes. Give me Soo In's three months'...
No, six months' salary in advance.
What? Do you not allow advance payments?
Sorry. I'm perplexed because I've never had...
an employee's father ask for an advance and not the employee.
Is there anything you could do?
I can't help you out.
Why not? Is Soo In not that good an employee?
No, she's a great employee.
I'd be hard-pressed to find a replacement.
Why can't you pay me in advance, then?
I need the money urgently.
Why else would I come to my daughter's workplace?
Could you please help me out?
What should I do?
Excuse me.
- Hello? - It's me, sir.
Congressman Park wishes to meet with you again.
I see. Very well. I'll call you back soon.
Yoon Dong Chul is going around asking for a loan...
to hire someone to find the witness.
I see.
Very well. I'll call you back.
Sir, could you give me my daughter's pay in advance?
Well, that would be difficult.
Sorry.
Why can't you? It's not for free.
I'm sure that much money means nothing to you.
It's not about the amount. It's about our principles.
Oh dear me.
Here it is. I'd left out a slip by mistake.
I had to come all the way back for this.
I see.
Is something wrong?
Well...
Soo In, your...
If you can't pay in advance, lend me the money.
I'll sign an IOU if you want.
You're putting me in a difficult position.
What's so difficult? Just lend me the money.
If that's what you want, have your daughter...
Dad, what are you doing here?
I'm not doing anything.
Dad.
What a mess.
I apologize, sir. I'm so sorry.
Dad.
What's going on?
Did you come here to ask my boss...
for a loan?
Yes. I asked him for an advance in your pay.
- Father. - Stop calling me that.
How bad of a worker must you be for him to refuse an advance pay?
Let go of me.
That money.
I'll give it to you.
What?
Everything I saved up.
You can have it.
Take it all.
Are you sure?
Are you saying that in a fit of anger because I came here?
No.
Don't you change your mind.
This was your idea.
Yes.
If you had money saved up, you should've given it to me sooner.
Did you have to make me look so bad?
Where's your father? Did he leave?
Soo In, are you okay?
I have to go to the tax office.
Yoon Dong Chul is going around asking for a loan...
to hire someone to find the witness.
Now that a man is dead, they will launch an investigation.
No one can be sure that they won't link us to it.
We must deal with this.
Until this is sorted out, be careful and lie low.
Make sure the witness stays silent.
(Incheon Cafe)
Soo In.
I don't think...
I can face you.
I felt so ashamed that...
I wished I could just disappear.
It's okay. There's nothing to be ashamed of.
Let's open up to each other.
I didn't want...
you to meet my father like this.
I really didn't think he would go this far.
I can't bear the thought of facing Mr. Jung tomorrow.
It's okay, Soo In. I'm sure he'll understand.
We agreed to understand, whatever your father does.
Let's try to do that.
Soo In.
Throughout her whole life,
Soo In had never hated her father as much as she did today.
She had never imagined that her own father...
would make her feel so miserable.
She had said she would understand her father...
and had wished to introduce Jeong Wook to him proudly.
Now she is upset and hurt that everything is a mess.
Do you feel better now?
- Yes. - Good.
What will you do about how you made me feel by crying?
Don't be silly.
Mr. Jung told me to finish some paperwork by today.
I forgot about it.
Do it in the morning.
I can't. He wants it in the morning.
Then I'll help you with it.
You don't have to. I'll do it alone.
What if someone sees us alone...
in the office at night?
You should go home. I'll go back to the office.
See you tomorrow.
Don't worry about that. He's never made a mistake so far.
He never made a mistake so far?
Not anymore.
(Jeil Groceries)
(License for Food Manufacture)
(Office)
Se Young.
Why are you out here?
Me?
Let's see you take that.
Is everything ready?
You don't have all the papers. Please leave.
Give me a chance. Please, sir.
You let me down.
Don't you dare give him the money.
Stop thinking it's your fault.
Focus on getting on with your own life.
Hong Man Pyo! Are you here to ask my husband for money?
I'm not.
You owe us, so don't act you're above us.
