Secretary Kim. I know well that you didn't...
do this alone.
Tell me who put you up to this.
The sooner you confess, the better it is for you.
I'll do whatever I can to help you.
Trust me.
Mr. Kim.
Yes, Mr. Kim.
Well...
The truth is...
Yes, you can talk to me.
If you get any silly ideas,
your little brother who's in jail for protesting...
could go away for life for spying for the communists.
Mr. Kim. Who on earth made you do this? Tell me.
I'm sorry.
I deserve to die.
Mr. Kim.
No one put me up to this.
I did it all on my own.
I did it alone.
It can't be. Don't tell a lie.
It's not a lie.
I really did it alone.
I'm sorry, sir.
It makes no sense. Why would you do such a thing?
Madam Cho disrespected me too often.
It made me angry and I went and did this.
And the house? Where'd you get the Seongbuk-dong house?
I bought it with my gambling earnings.
Gambling?
That's nonsense.
Mr. Kim, please don't do this. Someone told you to do this.
How powerful is this person and what are you threatened with...
that you'd go down for this alone?
Mr. Kim, don't do this. Tell me.
Just tell me and I'll try to help you.
I have nothing more to say.
Please leave, sir.
Mr. Kim!
Secretary Kim confessed. I think that's the end of it.
Our plan to take over Chungil failed this time.
I apologize. It's my fault.
Why is that your fault? We were just unlucky.
No, sir. If it hadn't been for your idea,
it could've gone pear-shaped.
Nothing is scarier than being called a communist spy.
I managed to gain Madam Cho's trust,
so it's not a complete failure.
About her grandson...
I thought he was just a kid, but we shouldn't take him lightly.
He's tougher than I thought.
I agree.
We should lay low for a while and come up with another plan.
Yes, sir.
(Chungil Resumes Operations)
My goodness.
I am so glad it ended so soon.
Well done. You went through a lot.
Now that the papers reported the truth,
we should print an apology.
I already wrote one and sent it to all the newspapers.
They'll print it every morning for a week.
Well done. You're doing things even before I told you to.
I can't believe Secretary Kim did such a thing.
I don't want to imagine what would've happened had I not had you.
You did well and I thank you.
Don't thank me. I did what I had to.
Grandma. I'll start working at Chungil tomorrow.
At Chungil? Are you sure?
Good, yes, you made the right decision.
Once you start working, I can finally get some rest.
You can't. Even if I join Chungil,
I need you to be chairperson.
I only solved this mystery because I had your support.
Do you understand?
Yes, I do. I'll stay and help...
for as long as I'm able.
Thank you, Grandma.
You've been asking me about marriage.
Marriage?
Yes. I'll start thinking about it.
Will you? Are you seeing somebody?
Who is it? Tell me.
Get some rest. I'll go to my room.
Jae Man impresses me at every turn.
Everyone turned against Chungil and he alone believed them.
Look how they got right back on track.
Don't just talk about it and try to learn from him.
You bet I will. When this investment showers me with money,
I'll spend it all on building up this business.
You and your business dreams...
Why are you so sure that this investment will pay out?
Are you sure about this?
I am. Wait and see.
Mom, where's Dad?
I don't know. He said he's meeting someone.
This is the investment Mr. Hwang collected.
That's a lot.
You told me to go big this time.
We gathered as many as possible.
This is the cash. Many people took out loans through us.
I'll liquidate the collateral and give you that as well.
Good. Wrap everything up nicely.
And keep a tight rein on Mr. Hwang.
I will.
You must be tired. Why don't you go to bed early tonight?
Once I start at Chungil, I'll really have to run a company.
I slacked off in university and need to catch up now.
Still, don't overdo it.
Soo In.
I'm going to the sea to take photos this weekend. Will you join me?
The sea?
Yes. You said you liked the sea.
You don't need to answer now. Think about it.
Okay. Get back to your books.
Do you feel better now?
Yes. I had a good few days of rest and I feel great.
That's good to hear. But don't work too hard.
I'm worried you'll get sick again.
I won't.
How do you feel about becoming the new Chairman of the Board?
I don't feel anything yet.
That's good.
It's better than being too nervous and messing up.
Your office won't be ready yet and there won't be much to do.
Why don't you take today off?
Okay, I'll manage.
Seon Woo will officially join the company tomorrow...
and I'll be at work from morning to night.
You can take tomorrow off as well.
No, ma'am. It's fine.
It's not. You haven't had a day off since you started working for me.
If I overwork you and you fall ill,
that will be my loss.
- Thank you, ma'am. - Don't thank me.
I should thank you for nursing me.
If you're up for it, I'm planning to...
meet Mr. Jung for lunch tomorrow.
I owe him so much for sticking by me while all this happened.
I should treat him to a meal.
I'm fine with that. I'll join you.
Okay, then. I'll give him a call today.
Once you become CEO, you'll need a secretary.
It's not an urgent matter. I'll think about it.
I was planning to meet someone today about it.
Meet who?
I'll tell you later.
How have you been?
Do you know how much I wanted to see you?
Did you really?
(Jiguk Construction)
Why didn't you take a longer break?
Are you feeling better?
Much better.
Good. Hearing that your business was back on track...
made me very happy as well.
I owe it to your support and kind words.
It all worked out for the best.
The recent misfortune made my grandson...
decide to work at Chungil Flour.
Did he?
Yes. He will be made CEO tomorrow.
If you are free, would you like to join us for lunch tomorrow?
It would be an honor.
Would it be okay for me to join you on such an important occasion?
We would be very grateful if you would join us.
Could you bring Mr. Choi along if he's not too busy?
Mr. Choi too?
Yes. He's the one whom Seon Woo will actually do business with.
Wouldn't it be better if they got to know each other?
Of course. I will bring Mr. Choi along.
Okay. See you tomorrow.
Sure.
Come in.
Could I have the safety manual if you're done with it?
Sure. Here you go.
Madam Cho's grandson will become Chungil's CEO tomorrow.
Oh, really?
She invited me over for lunch tomorrow.
If they invited you on such an important day,
it means they think very highly of you.
I think the recent happenings made Madam Cho trust you more.
Maybe. She wanted me to bring you along. Are you free?
Me too?
No, sir. I don't think I should join such an important meal.
No, it's a rare opportunity. You should come along.
Madam Cho's grandson will inherit Chungil soon.
We will have to deal with him, not his grandmother.
You're around his age, so see if you can get along.
Yes, sir.
Shoot.
Ms. Oh, what happened to you?
Your hair's a mess.
- Mr. Hong. - What?
- It's no laughing matter. - What?
Mr. Hwang disappeared last night.
What? He disappeared?
Yes. Some people who had invested with him came to see me.
They said I was in on it for introducing him to them...
and did this to me.
That's impossible. What about my money?
I bet that Mr. Hwang took it all.
My goodness. How could something like this happen?
You said you felt good about it, that you'd get rich.
What would've happened if I believed all that?
Well, you didn't and you didn't lose anything.
What a scumbag.
How could he take my money?
Mr. Hong.
Didn't you say you got all the factory workers to invest?
Oh, dear.
I'm a dead man. They'll kill me.
What's going on?
- Are you sure? - He's gone?
He disappeared.
I gave him the deed to my house.
- What happens now? - My money.
What will happen to us now?
Why are they all gathered round? Is something wrong?
I don't know. What's going on?
- I'm doomed. - What now?
What's wrong?
Well... Mr. Hong told us to invest and we did.
The broker disappeared.
Oh, no. You invested?
Can we find him?
He's nowhere to be found.
It's Mr. Hong's fault.
Mr. Hong!
- He's back. - Mr. Hong.
What happened, Mr. Hong? You knew all about this, didn't you?
- What? - You worked with him.
Did you take commission for dragging us in?
Is that true? I trusted you and invested all I had.
How could you do this?
No, no, I'm a victim as well. I lost money too!
What will you do about this? You guaranteed it was a solid deal!
I gave him the deed to my house.
Where will we live now?
Don't just stand there! Say something!
- What will you do? - Do something.
What's all this noise?
You invested? Have you lost your mind?
How could you be so careless?
You will be the death of me, I swear.
Why did you take that money?
Did you give him money?
What? No, well, you see...
He took the money I'd been saving up.
Man Pyo, did you resort to stealing now?
You should've done it alone.
Why did you drag my employees into it?
I'm sorry, Jae Man.
I won't get involved. You solve this on your own.
Jae Man...
I'm sick of seeing you getting into trouble.
Pack up and get out of my house.
Honey. Honey.
Sook Hee, did he really just kick me out?
Why did you get the workers involved?
The whole factory's a mess now.
Mr. Nam, were you aware that...
my brother-in-law and employees had invested?
No, I had no idea.
Had I known, I'd have asked Mr. Hwang for the list of investors.
Did you not know either?
I didn't. My brother-in-law had kept it a secret.
I'll call you back.
I have bad news.
What now?
Everyone's refusing to work.
What?
They won't work until Mr. Hong...
pays them back. What should we do?
Dae Bong, can you talk to them for me?
See if you can get the factory up and running.
Yes, sir. I'll see what I can do.
Seol Hee said she'd come over for lunch, but she's late.
She must be busy.
Even so, she should always eat on time.
Ms. Oh works so hard for someone her age.
She does.
Dal Ja, do you and Choon Bok have some issues?
You've been upset ever since he visited us.
It's nothing.
I'm bothered that we weren't able to...
treat him to a meal when he visited.
We should've cooked something for him.
- I'm sorry, Dal Ja. - It's fine.
Don't worry about that.
Bring him over another time. We'll treat him properly then.
Okay.
Soon Ok, Young Sun, what do you think about him?
He seems like a nice man. He looked out for us as well.
It's not easy for someone to care about other's family as well.
Right? I'm also aware that he's a good person.
Then what? Is there another issue?
It's nothing.
The talk of marriage is enough to make anyone feel strange.
There's so much to think about.
(Jiguk Construction)
How can I help you?
I'd like to meet Mr. Jang Gi Young.
Jang Gi Young? Chief Jang?
Yes. Where is he now?
He quit a while ago.
He quit?
Yes.
Why? Did he have personal issues?
Not really. Our company was struggling a bit.
We had to downsize.
I see. Sorry, but can you give me his home address?
Mr. Jang.
Seon Woo, how did you know I was here?
You were wearing a uniform last time, so I went to your company.
They said you'd quit, so I got your address.
- Did you? - Yes.
Come on in.
Take a seat.
Do you live here alone?
Yes.
Where are your wife and kids?
My wife passed away five years ago...
and my daughters are all married.
I see.
Why didn't you give me a call?
Well...
I've been tied up since I got laid off.
Sorry I didn't call.
I had no idea and even thought that you felt uncomfortable around me.
You're wrong. Why would I?
Good. I'm here because I want to ask you for a favor.
A favor?
Yes. Do you know that Chungil was in trouble recently?
Yes, I read about it in the papers.
It made me realize that...
it's too much for my grandma, so I decided to join the company.
Did you? That's great. You're doing the right thing.
Which is why I need your help.
You used to help my dad. I'd like you to help me.
I don't think I can do that.
I know it's sudden,
but you're the only person who can help me.
I think you should find someone else.
I'm old now and I won't be of much help to you.
I'm sorry, but I must refuse your request.
It's not urgent, so don't give an answer just yet.
Give it some thought.
I should have you see my grandma so she can talk to you.
Did you tell her that you met me?
Of course. She was very surprised when she heard that.
I'm sure she would love to see you.
You don't have to see me off.
Take care, Seon Woo.
I will. I hope you agree to work with me.
I really need your help.
I'll let you think about it. See you again soon.
Go on, then.
Bye.
Mr. Jang.
Yes, ma'am.
You cannot tell Seon Woo how his father died.
You understand what I mean, right?
Yes, ma'am.
I will leave the company.
For you and Seon Woo,
I think it's best that I disappear.
Mr. Jang.
I am very sorry about this.
Don't be.
I should have protected him.
But I failed.
It is all my fault.
I can't dare blame you.
It is all on me.
I am so sorry, ma'am.
Forgive me for not being able to hold you back.
I lost my son...
and I cannot lose my grandson too.
I understand.
I will go on living as if I am dead.
Thank you.
I thought it would be my lucky break, but it was another con.
Man Pyo, why does everything you do end up a disaster?
What's the point of living on? A fool like me shouldn't exist.
Why do I suddenly feel hungry?
Sook Hee.
Be quiet, will you?
Jae Man will throw a fit if he knows you're here.
Eat this first. You must be hungry.
Thank you so much. I thought I'd starve to death.
My goodness...
Sook Hee.
Is Jae Man still very angry?
Yes, I've never seen him this furious.
Why did you do such a thing?
You stole my money, lost it, and now look at you.
Did I know this would happen?
Can you talk to Jae Man for me?
Ask him to forgive me. It won't happen again.
Again? Do you know how many times you said that?
This is really the last time.
I swear it's the last time.
Please talk to Jae Man and get him to forgive me.
I can't stand this anymore.
Sook Hee...
Will you really not help out?
Aren't you being too harsh? He's your only brother-in-law.
Don't you see what he's done?
My workers are demanding him to pay them back.
Can't you forgive him this once?
He said he won't do it again.
You're just as bad. How many times has he said that?
Where is he now?
In the warehouse. Why? Shall I tell him to come in?
Tell him to leave this instance.
I will beat him up if I see him in the house or on factory property.
My goodness.
Welcome home.
Thanks. Where's my grandma?
In her room. Go on inside.
Oh, right. Did you think about going to the sea tomorrow?
Yes.
Do you not want to go?
That's not it.
But shouldn't you go with someone else?
Who do you mean?
Madam Cho told me that you have a fiancee.
Congratulations.
What?
No, I... That's not it.
I only said I'm now willing to consider getting married.
What's that look for?
Nothing.
Forget about that. You're coming with me, okay?
Yes.
Welcome home.
Grandma, did you say something odd to Soo In?
Something odd? Like what?
Oh, about you having someone you're willing to marry?
Why did you say that?
Why? Can't I?
She will meet the girl soon anyway.
When will you introduce me to her?
I'm not seeing anyone.
I'm only willing to consider marriage.
Isn't it the same thing?
You like someone, so you want to get married.
It's not, so stop it.
I see right through you.
Oh, I just got met Mr. Jang.
Mr. Jang?
Did he contact you?
No. He said he would, but he didn't,
so I went to his workplace.
His company went through some tough times...
and let him go.
What did you two talk about?
I asked him to help me...
like he once helped my dad.
Did Mr. Jang say he would?
No. He refused, so I told him to think about it.
Why did you insist when he said no?
He must've refused for a reason.
I want to ask him again anyway.
I don't think I can trust anyone as much as I trust him.
Oh, right. The three of us should talk over a meal.
Join us.
Okay. I'm tired. You can go to your room.
Okay. Goodnight.
Mr. Kim, congratulations on becoming the new CEO.
Thank you.
Mr. Jung, you and your company showed me so much support.
We didn't do much.
I heard you sorted everything out.
I was very impressed. I think...
you proved that you're prepared to take over.
You flatter me.
Secretary Kim served you so closely and I couldn't believe he did it...
even after reading about it in the papers.
Right. I never dreamed of it myself.
I guess it's partially my fault.
How can it be your fault?
Some time ago, my own clerk embezzled company funds.
I suffered as well.
I understand how you feel even though you don't explain it.
Right. I heard about that from Mr. Choi.
The betrayal of a trusted worker...
takes its toll on you as a business owner.
It does.
What happens to Secretary Kim now?
I'm not sure.
What he did is a serious crime. In my opinion,
he'll get a heavy sentence.
Right. That's why, for his family's sake,
I plan to do what I can so he doesn't stay in prison for too long.
I'm amazed by your generosity.
I'm not generous. We all make mistakes.
A mistake?
I don't believe Mr. Kim did it on his own.
He's keeping it to himself now,
but I'm sure someone put him up to it.
Right. That is the fate of every entrepreneur.
We have enemies everywhere. We must be careful.
You're right.
There's still a lot my grandson has to learn.
Please teach and guide him.
I'll look to you for that, Mr. Choi.
Of course. I hope we get along.
I'm willing to learn. Please give me your support.
I really enjoyed the meal.
I'm glad. I had a good time too.
We shall leave first. I hope to see you again soon.
Of course.
I will go back to work. What about you?
I have to take care of something.
Okay.
The ceremony must have stressed you out. Get some rest.
I will, don't worry.
Bye.
(Chungil Flour)
Madam Cho.
Mr. Jang.
Mother, I found her.
Who do you mean?
Your daughter-in-law. I'm off to see her.
Don't go.
Mr. Jang?
He helped my dad and he was practically family.
I met him again thanks to you.
It's because you were meant to meet again.
Where's Seon Woo?
He went out to see someone.
Mr. Jang?
I'm so sorry, Seon Woo.
