Se Na.
You're fired.
Fired? Me?
You should leave voluntarily before the disciplinary hearing.
Don't you know how I've survived this long?
I won't go down alone.
I'll hold a press conference and tell them about your mom,
what your father made me do,
and what your uncle did.
Do you doubt me?
Don't you think about Song Yi at all?
She's old enough to read articles online.
So?
Do you plan to kick out Song Yi and me?
I plan to give that house to Song Yi,
so you can live comfortably.
At least you won't have to worry about money...
thanks to Ludici Korea.
I'll resign when I want to.
I don't care. We're going to sell YB City anyway.
What?
That's ridiculous.
Do you think Chairman Jung will agree to that?
What's wrong?
I may die today.
Mr. Shin!
You wrote that white paper, didn't you?
How dare you do that while working for me?
- Hey. - Look!
I have a wife and kid at home.
For six years, I did everything you made me do...
because this company paid me my dirty salary.
I did everything you made me do.
But what? Slush funds?
Bribes?
Didn't you feel bad making me do those things?
I didn't join this company to do things like that!
What are you doing?
Apologize to Mr. Shin.
Am I still alive?
Do I not have to resign?
I was scared.
Stop that.
Is that it?
I'm too afraid to listen.
There will be...
a string of tax audits during the second half of the year.
Did you set aside the profit that we made...
through market manipulation?
Of course.
It's a good thing we created a subsidiary in Hong Kong.
A paper company is perfect for hiding money,
saying it's for salaries and other expenses.
I'm meeting Commissioner Kim next week,
so prepare the money.
Did they really have to go this far?
Why are you standing there? Come in.
I heard Auditing cleaned out Se Na's office.
I've fired her.
She must have thrown the recording in your face.
How did you fire her?
He probably squashed her with the infamous white papers.
Really? Good job.
Then all we have to do is destroy the flash drives.
Did you bring them?
What?
Do you plan to blackmail us too?
Come now. There's no way.
I'm the one who made him vice chairman.
Stop bugging the auditing department now.
Reinstate the accounting firms too.
Do you think I put on a show just to get the recordings?
My engagement may have been an act,
but not this time.
- What? - Then what?
Are you saying you'll audit all the subsidiaries?
Isn't that a given?
I've called a board meeting to discuss YB City's sale.
Sale? Says who?
Do you think I'll agree to it?
I'm the one who has...
the recordings.
Why that punk...
Does he really want to fight me or something?
What are you doing? Go stop him!
Can't you control your own son?
Since when did he ever listen to me?
He is determined to strike me.
I'll have to take it.
Hey, you.
Hyun Gi and Se Na are both your kids!
Do something!
You're the one who dragged her in when you bought that land,
and you're the one who put him in that position.
You should prepare yourself as well.
What?
Prepare for what?
Being judged by employees that you looked down on...
and bowing your head and apologizing.
I've been busy doing that the past few days...
to Cells Beauty and my company.
It is seriously disgraceful.
What... These jerks...
What do they take me for?
Get me the head of Auditing.
No, no. Get me all the presidents of the subsidiaries!
Yes, I'll go up now. Okay.
You should've listened to me from the get-go.
Hyun Gi. You can't do anything anymore.
- Sir. - What is it?
All the subsidiaries have refused to submit to the audit.
Not only will they not leave their office,
but they won't permit us to enter their offices.
If you'd convince Chairman Jung first...
I will not negotiate any further.
Proceed according to the company protocol.
The board will probably take action as well.
I'm expecting it.
What's wrong?
I can't wait to see how you get past this.
Don't you want our group to go under?
Not at all.
I want you to take control and lead it well.
I'll be watching.
Watching? Is that all you can do for me?
You're the only one here who's on my side.
Why are you being like that?
There are thousands of employees in this building.
All those people are looking to you.
- Yes. - Doesn't it feel good?
- It's effective. - Okay. I'll be right there.
- Wait here. - Okay.
Where are you going this time?
We're having a shareholders' meeting of sorts.
We formed a company.
Who did? Jung Han?
Who else?
It can't be a glass factory.
What factory did he open?
Wait. Hey, Mr. Kim!
Are you Hwagang Glass' Mr. Yoon's son?
Do you recognize me?
Choi from the shoe factory.
Of course.
- You had the steel factory, right? - That's right. It's been so long.
Will you really get our land back?
No, we can't get the land back.
Didn't you see the mall that was built there?
Mr. Yoon is going to buy that whole.
That building is super expensive. Who can you buy it?
He even pulled in a 30-year grudge...
and put his plan in motion.
Excuse me.
Hey. Come here.
He's our company CEO.
Say hi.
It's nice to meet you.
Hey. Aren't you Man Bok from the cookie factory?
He's my father.
What? Are you Man Bok's son, Byung Tae?
My gosh. You look just like your dad.
They closed their factory and left so long ago.
You were only this big back then.
Yes, it's been about 30 years.
So how's your father?
Is he still just as hot-tempered?
Yes. Don't get me started.
Here you go. 500,000 shares of YB Development.
Thanks.
I didn't believe it when you said you'd buy YB City.
Are you really doing it?
That's why we started this company.
Then can I sell the shoes that I make there?
Of course. I'm going to have a glass shop there as well.
My gosh.
Thank you so much.
Nothing has been working out since we moved the factory.
Mr. Yoon must be so proud of his son...
even in the afterlife.
Thank you.
My gosh. Mr. Han.
How did the meeting with the buyer go?
Well, of course.
You know, YB's employees are really good.
They're so good in English too.
Do any of you speak English?
Excuse me, sir.
Did you close the export deal?
Of course.
First, 50,000 to Japan.
50,000 straight off the bat?
Yes. You know we must deliver on time, right?
- Yes. - Yes, sir.
There's the men's mask.
- Tada. - Let me see.
My gosh. This looks good.
Nice.
Our company was in total mayhem today.
It's a total war zone.
What happened?
The vice chairman ordered an audit,
but the company presidents banned together and refused.
Chairman Jung must have controlled them from behind.
Why did he give his nephew full authority then?
He probably didn't think Hyun Gi would be so bold.
Even the employees were shocked.
He always moved boxes with a smile.
But he's a chicken fighter.
He laughed on the outside,
but he was sharpening his knife on the inside.
That kind man... Imagine how hurt he has been...
because of his uncle, his father, and his fake sister.
I don't know if he'll be able to make the changes he wants.
They've worked with Chairman Jung...
for several decades.
He can't break that down all by himself.
What if Jung Han gets pushed out along with him?
Are you actually worrying about Jung Han?
Ga Young, what has he been up to?
Yoon Soo, we're all done. Do you like it?
Yes. Call Daddy over to come look.
Okay. I'll call him over.
We still have this tree.
It's been in a box all these years,
but in case Yoon Soo comes over this year...
I have a gift for him too.
Can he come over and play for a bit?
Okay, I'll ask.
Okay. Actually,
I heard you found Choi Duk Bae.
Where is he? What has he been up to?
He's being punished and can't budge, so don't worry.
What's this about starting a new company?
We need to get back the money you got scammed.
What?
How will you get that money from Se Na?
It's still a secret.
- Where's Jung Bin? - I don't know.
We don't talk anymore.
What's her problem?
Hi, Hyun G.
She isn't home yet. No.
I see.
Okay, Mother.
Thank you. Good night.
I'm in front of your place. I'll wait until you come.
(I'm away on business.)
I'm away on business. I'm not going home today.
Now, she's lying to me too.
Eat up, okay?
Okay.
Have some of this too.
What are you doing here?
Can't you tell?
Have you been here since you called earlier?
Do you want to get frostbite?
What about Jung Bin?
She texted that she may not be coming home.
Did she see me standing here?
Seriously.
At least come in for some tea. You'll catch a cold.
No. I don't want to keep her from going home.
Bye.
What's wrong with you?
How long were you out here?
I'm going in.
Jung Bin.
Are you really trying to break up with him?
I told you.
It's over between us.
He's having a hard enough time even without you doing this.
He's fighting his father, his uncle,
and all the presidents in the group all alone.
Do you know what his ultimate goal is?
He says it's to return things to normal and go backpacking with you.
Must you make it so hard on someone like that?
I have no choice.
You have no choice? Whatever.
It's so cold.
Backpacking?
We made that promise when we were 20.
Were you still thinking about it?
I'm home.
Are you even eating?
I'll eat.
Come here.
How will you get through the directors?
Don't you want them to take me down?
You did the right thing by switching accounting firms.
The audit was a good thing too.
The presidents aren't doing that because they're all dirty.
They're all afraid of change.
They're probably afraid of Uncle.
How could they not know to fear the people below them?
Yes. I know you'll do well.
Grandpa. Uncle.
Mommy won't put up a tree.
Yoon Soo already put his up.
I didn't think of that. Sorry.
We can do it ourselves.
Mommy says no.
You'll see plenty of trees when we travel for Christmas.
No. I want to go to Jae Dong's.
Song Yi.
Shall we check the kitchen for snacks?
- Okay. - Let's go.
Here we go.
A trip?
It's a business trip.
I need to go to Ludici's head office too.
Not for fun with Song Yi?
Yamamoto is going with us.
- What? - Say it.
Am I dating him?
So what? Don't act like you're worried now.
How could I not? Song Yi's involved.
Worry about yourself.
You called a board meeting to sell YB City?
Not a chance.
Hold the elevator!
Are you getting better in sales?
Yes. I wish you luck as well.
Good luck.
What's going on?
The company presidents have formed a coalition.
You wanted me to resign, right?
Here you go.
And here.
These are the letters of resignation...
of all YB's company presidents minus Jung Han.
The honorary chairman asked me to relay a message.
He said to choose wisely if you want to keep...
your position as president of Apparel.
What brings you here?
It's gotten chilly.
It's lavender tea.
That's so cool.
I was just thinking I'd like some hot tea.
You read my mind.
They're in tea bags, so they're easy. I'll leave them here.
When are you being discharged?
I'd like to go home before Christmas,
but I don't know yet.
Thanks for the tea.
Hello?
- Hello? - Emily.
Who... Who is this?
That's right, it's me, Bob.
Is Jung Han with you?
What... What do you mean?
I haven't seen him since we split three years ago.
Bobby, I swear.
I don't know where he is,
so don't... Don't call me again!
Who was that?
No... Nobody.
He was looking for Jung Han, wasn't he?
Is this what Se Na mentioned?
Jung Han's weakness?
How did she...
You told her...
that you held Jung Han's life in your hand.
Why would I tell her that?
No. I wouldn't have.
No. No one can know about this.
You can tell me. What is it?
Oh no.
What's wrong?
- What am I going to do? - Please leave.
Oh no.
No.
Is he in?
What's up? You didn't say you were coming.
Why didn't you tell me?
It isn't nothing.
Calm down. What do you mean?
A man named Bobby called Emily...
and ask about you.
Tell me. What's going on?
Answer me.
Why are you lying to me?
Even if he found Emily,
she won't tell him I'm here, so don't worry.
How can I not?
She threatened you with it.
That was when she wasn't in her right mind.
People say all sorts of things when they're upset.
That's why I can't trust her.
Tell me what happened.
When I first went to the US,
I had to make money as quickly as possible.
That's when I met him.
When I found out he was breaking the law, I got out.
That's not a reason to still chase you now.
His organization ran into trouble because of me.
Is that why...
you married Emily and changed your name?
How did he find her?
She stopped talking with her mom because of me,
but reconnected recently,
and that's how he found her.
- That's all. - Are you hiding anything else?
What could there be?
This is Korea.
He won't bring in his gang carrying guns.
Stop being weak. This isn't you.
Everything will be fine.
You won't leave me like my brother, right?
If you die too,
I won't be able to survive.
I promise.
I'll be fine.
I will not get hurt,
so don't worry, okay?
It's Emily.
Answer it.
I'll go.
- Hi. - What's going on?
What happened? Were you crying?
Worry about yourself.
I heard you were terminated.
I guess you don't know.
Hyun Gi may lose his job today.
Why don't you go see him?
You came...
from seeing Emily, didn't you?
Okay.
Something happened to Jung Han.
Just say you don't know.
Don't worry about it. Okay.
So he knows you married Emily.
He's still as impatient as ever.
I even called him.
You called him?
What were you thinking?
I said I'd return once I finished what I was doing.
I can't avoid him forever.
But Boss...
The board meeting should start soon.
At least one person came.
What do you think Chairman Jung will say?
He absolutely refuses to agree...
to auditing the subsidiaries or the sale of YB City.
He only considered me a shield from the recordings.
Then you'll just have to use those recordings he fears so much.
Are you telling me to be like Se Na?
I refuse.
Do it your way.
Face it head-on.
Are you testing me?
What do you want me to do?
If you keep worrying, you'll lose your title of vice chairman.
How is my uncle like that?
Don't look up.
Look down.
The real owners are elsewhere.
The real owners?
That's it.
It's going to be a tiring day.
Excuse me.
Yes?
I'd like to use the mic for a minute.
Sure.
Why are you all here?
My poor Hyun Gi must be so lonely.
He needs to know to fear his elders.
Hello, dear members of the YB family.
This is the vice chairman, Kang Hyun Gi.
- What's this? - It's an internal broadcast.
I have obtained some recordings.
The content is shocking and embarrassing,
but I think you should all know, so I'm sharing them with you.
My uncle, Honorary Chairman Jung Tae Soo,
my father, Chairman Kang Jae Hyuk,
and my sister, Kang Se Na. This is their conversation.
Please listen.
Minister Oh agreed...
to take care of changing the land use matter,
so take out 2 million dollars from the slush fund.
What are you waiting for?
Stop him right now!
How will we give it to him?
If you go to the parking lot at the golf course,
his assistant will tell you the locker number.
Come out! We need to guard the door to the PA room.
Then when do you plan to give me that company?
But...
the most important thing is missing.
The CAD drawing for the LED panel.
It's probably in the company safe.
Sir. Everyone's going crazy.
What do we do?
Let's go watch.
There will be...
a string of tax audits during the second half of the year.
- Did you set aside the profit... - Step aside.
- ...through market manipulation? - No.
Of course. It's a good thing we created a subsidiary in Hong Kong.
- Move. - Wait a little bit.
You need to step aside.
Sorry about that.
- What's wrong with you? - Why are you so strong?
- Get him out of there! - Yes, sir.
A paper company is perfect for hiding money,
saying it's for salaries and other expenses.
I'm meeting the Commissioner Kim next week,
so prepare the money.
Get out of there now!
We can't go anywhere. The vice chairman is inside.
What are you doing? Get rid of them!
Everyone band together!
This was just one of the files.
I will submit them all to the auditing department.
Stop this!
Stop.
The people who destroyed your and YB's good name...
was the chairmen and some top executives.
I await your judgment and decision...
regarding how to set right the wrong...
that has been committed.
That will be all.
Also, the group's board of directors will be meeting soon.
Directors,
please judge wisely.
He's coming out.
Why you...
The employees are watching.
How could you do this to me?
Are you mad?
How do you plan to fix it...
after blowing things up like this?
Answer me.
The ball is now in the court...
of the 15,000 YB employees.
(Love to the End)
I heard the broadcast in the lobby.
You really dropped a big bomb.
Do you still not regret...
making Hyun Gi vice chairman?
Why are you doing this now?
Now that Hyun Gi has the authority,
he can marry whomever he wants.
You know why Jung Bin is doing this, don't you?
What happens to us now?
Do you look down on me because I'm a woman?
Why are you doing this to me?
I told you from the get-go...
that I'll put my life on the line to catch you.
