Choi Duk Bae,
do you recognize me?
You punk.
(Episode 96)
You jerk!
Can you move?
Do you remember everything you did?
- Yes. - Don't tell anyone I came.
If they find out you've been found, they may kill you.
Do you understand?
Hey, Duk Bae.
Are you okay?
Are you okay? Thank you.
I'm fine.
How many times is this?
- Who came? - Chief Baek.
He's with Chairman Jung.
Why won't you answer me?
You have...
Choi Duk Bae, don't you?
Stop being stupid,
and focus on the investigation.
I just came from the Prosecutors' Office.
I answered questions all day long.
So? Are you trying to get me a compliment you?
Not at all.
I'm just checking.
The specialty of people high up...
is betrayal and going back on their word.
I heard you have someone hostage.
You're my hostage.
I need to go free for you to go free.
Come on, now.
Mr. Chairman.
Fine.
I have Choi Duk Bae.
So,
don't do anything until the decision...
for my trial is out.
If I do anything wrong, you'll give him to Jung Han, is that It?
Then...
you'll be done for too.
Am I right?
I understand.
I'll wait quietly until you are acquitted,
and once you give me some spending money,
I'll take off and go abroad.
You won't meet with Se Na...
and tell her useless things, now will you?
Of course, not.
Have a nice day.
What are you doing here?
I'm about to blow my fuse,
so leave me alone.
Did you ask him about Choi Duk Bae?
That old man says his hostage is none other than me.
Fine.
You and I are dispensable like fruit flies.
Let's keep quiet until Chairman Jung's trial...
is over.
Fruit flies? What does he mean?
I've confirmed that Choi Duk Bae is alive.
He can't move yet.
Medical staff go and treat him every day.
So it's safer to leave him there.
You're not hurt, are you?
Of course, not.
Okay.
I came to see Jung Bin.
Yes. I'll talk to you later.
Sorry.
I don't know when customers may come,
so I can't go out for long.
It's nice in here too.
Did Jung Han tell you to ask me...
why I'm acting this way?
I came because I wanted to know.
Hyun Gi won't let his elders control him anymore.
I'm not throwing a tantrum.
I really want to exit his life.
I mean it.
I do.
Are you very upset about the scandal...
about him and me?
I told you, that isn't it.
I don't say things I don't mean.
Then why are you lying?
You still like Hyun Gi.
I always thought you and I...
understood each other,
so I was always honest with you.
What's the real reason?
Jung Bin.
Now that I'm trying to say it,
I feel so pitiful.
I...
maybe...
unable to have children.
I thought it was myoma.
I guess I have a pretty bad case of myoma.
I got several second opinions, but...
What do you think you'd do...
if you were in my shoes?
If it were me,
I would tell Hyun Gi first.
I don't want to.
I feel like...
a bomb went off...
in my life or something.
Until that moment I heard the doctor say that,
I never imagined how much...
I wanted children.
I didn't know...
I'd feel this way.
You could never understand...
how I feel right now.
No,
since my son...
came to me unexpectedly.
I can't dare say...
I understand how you feel.
That's why...
I can't...
tell Hyun Gi either.
He can't understand how I feel either.
I...
don't think I can face him.
Did you ask for me?
Where were you all day?
I've been busy. Where will you start?
I don't know the exact extent of Chairman Jung's influence.
You'll start with HR, is that it?
If it were me,
I'd change our accounting firm.
Have the auditing team check every subsidiary's accounting books.
Okay.
If they find something in Se Na's office...
If she gets desperate, she'll go to the bank for the recordings.
Would there be solid proof of corruption in her office?
She's meeting...
Yamamoto to sign a contract tomorrow morning.
She couldn't even get investments.
What is she signing?
That's why it's suspicious.
Fine.
- Is the contract ready? - Yes, here.
I give Se Na the title of co-CEO of Ludici Korea,
and receive all her shares of YB Development, right?
Yes. One more thing.
Work her up by saying you want YB City.
That's in case they sell, you'll put in a bid.
She'll flip out at the mention of a sale.
Right now, yes.
Don't forget. Finish signing by 11am tomorrow.
That feels good.
Go home.
I can't. I'm this banged up from going against just two guys.
It must be time for me to retire my fists.
What do you mean, you went against two guys?
Mr. Yoon wanted to confirm himself that Choi Duk Bae was alive...
and went into the house where he was being held.
Choi Duk Bae?
He's alive?
It's still a secret.
Going after Chief Baek wasn't enough,
Jung Han has been hunting that jerk, too?
That's not all.
He got all of the old people together to start a company.
That kid. How far does he plan to go?
It's almost done,
so you can just watch.
- I'm back. - Hi.
I'll report about the meeting with YB's rep.
They cried with joy when you said there won't be layoffs, right?
But you fired all of us, knowing that?
When I think about back then...
Fine. I'll beg for forgiveness...
for three months. Please forgive me.
Why aren't you people working?
The number of employees quadrupled.
The thought of paying everyone's salary terrifies me.
- Yes, yes. Let's go. - Okay.
Hurry up and go.
Are you really?
What?
I made that up.
Let's go home.
I can't wait to see what silly thing Jae Dong will do next.
- Let's go. - Okay.
Let's go.
What are you doing out here?
What? Yes, I'll go in.
Is today day two?
Why are you doing this too?
You punk. Do it right.
Oh my gosh.
Why are you so jumpy?
What did you guys do last night after work?
We watched a movie.
He slept throughout.
You slept too.
So, did you hold hands?
See that? There's no excitement at all.
Why are you guys dating anyway?
He said he'd give me a branch location.
Are you dating him for what he has, and not for him?
Yes, that's how it is.
I'll go home now.
- My gosh. - She didn't need to say that.
My gosh. You loser.
Seriously.
What are you thinking about?
What?
I wonder...
why your sleeves suddenly got shorter.
Did someone cut them?
No.
Your pants got short too.
- You must have grown. - Yes.
You're sleeping well and eating well.
My son is the best!
The best!
Aren't they all pretty?
Yes. Are you going to buy them?
I'm going to bring all of these into Korea.
I'll be the president of Ludici Korea.
- Is that a good thing? - Of course.
Grandpa!
Hi, Song Yi.
Did you cry today?
No. Do you know Ludici too?
Yes, of course.
Great thing you're teaching a child.
All I did was raise her standards a little.
Song Yi, aren't you happy Mommy came home early?
Yes.
Daddy!
Have a seat.
What?
You don't need to talk to me because I'm powerless now, is that it?
It's because all you do it scold me.
Ga Young said...
there are times when she hates me more than you.
That I'm the one who ruined you.
What does she know?
I always feel guilty whenever I look at Song Yi.
- When I first met you... - Yes.
I called out to you, saying, "Daddy,"
but you ignored me.
I was terrified that you figured out...
I wasn't your real daughter.
I still dream about that day.
I hated that woman, not you.
I let her live comfortably in the US.
Did she have to threaten Hyun Gi's mom?
She's my mom.
- Stop it. - She's not your real mom anyway.
She only took you in...
right after her child died in order to collect child support.
That's enough.
I'm leaving.
What did she do for you?
How could she tell her daughter to come into this family...
and bleed us dry on her behalf?
Yes. Even if the entire world...
judges Mom and me,
you have no right to say that.
Se Na, what I'm saying is...
What's wrong?
Is something wrong?
When are things ever good with her?
I was just trying to apologize,
but she won't accept it.
Do you also think I ruined her life?
It was her choice.
Actually,
I'm searching for her biological mom.
I think I'm close.
I heard she was abused by her adoptive parents.
I wonder what her mom is like.
Thanks for doing something I should've done.
I never expected you to thank me.
My daughter who died...
The real Se Na...
I wonder what she was like.
How will I ever pay for all my sins?
That scares me much more...
than the recording Se Na has.
Father.
I'll pay for my sins.
Let's talk about you.
What will you do with Jung Han's sister?
Once I'm done with what I'm doing,
I'm going to leave with her.
Don't try to stop me.
Is that such an unreasonable fantasy?
All I want is to marry the woman I love, have children with her,
and live like everyone else.
Sure.
You're not like me,
so you'll be a good father.
When I was young,
you were a good father.
I see.
It's true.
She wasn't a good mom.
She used me to collect child support...
and used that to buy drugs.
But still,
she's my one and only mom.
Hi, Mom.
Yes, I'm fine.
I'm waiting for my husband...
Yes.
I got married.
What? A few months ago.
I'm sorry I couldn't call.
It was so sudden.
Yes. No, you don't know him.
What?
He said his name was Bob?
What did you tell him?
Yes. Did he come back since?
Mom.
You can't tell him that you spoke to me.
Do you understand?
Yes, and don't give anyone this number.
Okay.
Okay. I'll call you later.
Okay.
What's going on?
Did Bobby go to your mother?
Yes, I guess so.
How did he find my mom?
Those persistent jerks.
So,
they've been searching for me all this time.
But they won't know that we got married.
They probably went to her to ask me...
about you.
Yes, probably.
I told my mom not to say anything.
What should we do?
Are you afraid they'll come all the way here?
They won't.
Did you eat anything?
Yes.
Ga Young came by earlier.
Okay.
We talked about my mom...
Being with Ga Young...
made me feel calm too.
And...
we were both open and honest with each other.
I know the two of you are still in love,
but I refuse to let you go.
It hurts my pride as well.
Emily.
I'm not here by force.
I know...
how you feel.
I'll be honest as well.
I still...
can't live without him.
That's my limit.
At least you...
are doing fine without him.
Right?
What?
He said his name was Bob?
What did you tell him?
Mom.
You can't tell him that you spoke to me.
Do you understand?
This is Jung Han.
I hear you're looking for me.
Tell me where you are!
I'll kill you.
I can't tell you right now.
Hey you, Jung Han!
I'll promise you this.
As soon as I finish what I'm doing, I'll go to LA.
Don't bother innocent women,
and let's resolve this between ourselves.
I'll be there in a month.
Just wait.
Hello.
If you couldn't get the investments,
give up on managing the Ludici stores.
I did.
We're just signing the lease for the stalls.
She's signing with Yamamoto now.
Are the people from the accounting firm here?
Bring them in with the head of Auditing.
Okay, you are now the co-CEO of Ludici Korea.
To be honest, I'd really like to have YB City.
I heard rumors that you may be selling it.
I'm sorry, but we are not selling.
What a shame.
About this contract...
I understand.
This contract is sort of a breach of duty,
so I'll keep it just between us.
Thank you.
Let's plan our trip next time.
Okay.
Okay, then.
Ms. Kang!
What is it?
People from our accounting firms and the head of Auditing...
were called to the vice chairman's office.
I looked through the books your firms prepared,
and there are many problems.
What has Auditing been doing?
I don't know what you mean.
We prepared everything legally...
without mistake...
I'm sure you did everything as Chairman Jung ordered.
You find all the illegal acts and report them.
Find all the accounts in borrowed names as well.
- Yes, sir. - You must be confused.
You can't do this.
This won't just hurt us.
It may hurt YB Group as a whole as well.
We'll worry about that.
If the two of you...
keep denying it,
I'll report you to the Prosecutors' Office.
Just confess right now.
Auditing will look through six years' worth of books.
Check every single entry and report back to me.
What are you waiting for? Get on it right now!
Ms. Kang, do you have a minute?
What are we supposed to do now?
We can't talk here.
We've been maintaining the slush funds...
according to your instructions.
- If we confess... - You can't.
- Deny it, no matter what. - He says he'll report us...
to the Prosecutors' Office if the auditors find anything.
What can we do?
Why are you all in here?
You should get ready to be audited.
We need the two of you to do something.
I get it,
so leave already.
Why is he doing this?
Say something!
You're the one who gave Hyun Gi full authority.
So?
You'll sit back and watch, is that it?
Mr. Chairman, why aren't you stopping Hyun Gi?
I put him there myself.
How can I stop him?
Don't you know why he's doing that?
He'll change accounting firms, audit the books,
and then reassign personnel.
He plans to make us impotent.
We have to work together.
Tell all the subsidiary presidents to resign...
and lock their doors so that the auditors can't go in.
Se Na.
That's absurd.
Don't you know what Hyun Gi is after?
Just wait and see.
This is so crazy. What is all this?
Finally, what's to come has come.
This is dangerous.
We may all end up going down.
We're from the Auditing Department.
Already?
We confiscated all her files.
But this seemed odd, so I wanted to bring it to your attention.
I didn't know the Auditing Department would start here.
The document I had here...
They took every sheet of paper they found.
No.
What's this?
I guess they started here.
They knew where to go.
You knew I signed with Koji, and went after me, didn't you?
Signed what? Didn't they sign a lease to enter YB City?
Fine.
I'll make you pay.
Where do you think she's going? The bank?
Where are you going?
Okay. Got it.
They raided Se Na's office,
so she must be anxious.
She drove off in her car.
Did she go to get those wretched recordings?
Hyun Gi was smart.
Then he should've given us a heads up.
I called in the subsidiary presidents for nothing.
Were you planning to do as Se Na said?
Let's wait and see.
We don't know whether or not Hyun Gi will be able...
to stop her from using the recordings.
Hand that over.
You realize this is a breach of duty, don't you?
You're taking the profits that the company...
is supposed to make through Ludici, isn't that it?
Hand it over.
Must I really show this to you?
Listen to them.
There's no point.
I'm sure they have the two chairmen ordering you to do something.
You probably avoided incriminating yourself by asking vague questions.
That's right.
Even if the prosecutors get them, they can't get me.
Only your uncle and Father will be hurt.
You're too nice to watch that happen.
I said let's battle, didn't I?
(Kang Se Na's White Paper)
What is this?
It has everything you did over the past six years.
This must have orders from my uncle and Father.
The fact that you're the one who acted them out...
(Kang Se Na's White Paper)
is all in here.
Be it maintaining slush funds or accounts in borrowed names,
you did them all yourself.
Se Na, you're fired.
(Love to the End)
I heard Auditing cleared out Se Na's office.
You wrote the white paper, didn't you?
How dare you do that while working for me?
Sir, all the subsidiaries are refusing to comply with the audit.
He's having a tough enough time without you doing this.
Do you want to make it even harder for him?
What do you mean?
I don't know where he is,
so don't call me again!
Someone named Bob called Emily...
and asked about you.
Tell me. What's going on?
