Give it to me, Mom.
Mom!
Where were you until now?
Did you go to your pathetic husband?
Did he hear your fret and give you money or pat on your back?
-Stop, Mom. -No, you should stop!
Look at yourself!
Who cares about that darn ring when you're about to lose your house...
...if you can't pay that $50,000? That darn ring is a chain to you.
I should've given it to you in person. I made a mistake.
No, you didn't.
Thank you for getting it for me.
Forget the petition letters and protest.
Can't you see those heartless CE people don't give a damn about you?
Not five weeks or five months but it was five years.
They could care less even if you protested five more years.
So stop being foolish and sever ties with that family.
You protested every week for five years?
While I did that, the real criminal was probably laughing at me inside the CE.
For the past five years.
You should've called me at least once. You seemed to know Chairwoman well.
If you had called me, I would've had a chance to explain to Ms. Chair.
When I start working, I'll trace back to five years and find out.
It'd best to show the evidence instead of merely pleading Ms. Chair.
It seemed you have some trouble with Mikwang Bank. Could I help?
I'll take care of it. Please just focus on proving Hyunwoo's innocence.
That's all I ask of you.
No need to sit.
Don't even mention about your house.
I don't care whether you board someone or lose your house.
You discuss whatever with Hyunwoo's family.
Alright, Mom. Don't be too upset.
Long time no see, Sunyoung.
Me? I'm always busy busy.
Sunyoung. I'd like to ask something.
Can you lend me money for about a month or two?
Look.
-I'm sorry. -Did I clear your misunderstandings?
The situation just drove me to doubt you.
You would've done the same thing if you were me.
-Let's forget about the past. -Yes.
What coincidence. We were fighting just a day ago.
But here we are living under the same roof.
Let's get along, alright?
Sure. Now I need to go check the remodeling.
Look.
It won't be much to rich people. So can you lend me like $5,000?
Is it because of a loan with Mikwang Bank?
Mikwang Bank?
Are you talking about the $50k loan Sowon got for Hyunwoo's hospital bills?
What about it?
They won't extend the loan payment?
It seemed Sowon was a lot worried about it.
It'd be awful if the bank start pressuring about the principle.
Maybe we should've rented the whole downstairs instead of boarding.
What are you doing in my room?
Heard of James Kang?
I heard he's like a brother to Grandma. He has a business in the States.
Jinhee Kang's his son.
Really?
I didn't realize since the name was Doosuk Kang in the report.
That's right. I heard Grandma stayed at his house when she was in the States.
-Then she scouted her friend's son? -I don't think he'd be a mere VP.
You think she'll make a CEO or what?
She might after making him a grandson-in-law.
Grandson-in-law?
She was so disappointed when he got married like seven or eight years ago.
She regretted not rushing Ihyun to marry him.
But she couldn't possibly marry off Ihyun to a divorcee.
She said this morning that she has a big gift in store for Ihyun.
I now see why she said that. She's talking about Ihyun's marriage.
But Jinhee Kang might be connected with Sowon Han.
What'd happen to me if they two get married? What about you?
Feels like meeting an enemy at the end of the tournament. A strong enemy.
I've thought about it.
It'll be bad for me if something happens to this house.
Bad for you?
I already signed the contract and spent a lot of money on remodeling.
Are you saying you'd like to cancel the agreement?
No.
I'm worried something might happen to the house when I'm moving in tomorrow.
How about I pay one or two year rent upfront?
In the States, we pay a few month's rent upfront sometimes.
But it's Korea.
So please just focus on proving Hyunwoo's innocence. That's all I want.
Hey, what was your mom saying earlier?
The bank really asked you to pay off $50k by end of this month?
Yes.
They can't extend the loan?
I'll request again tomorrow but I doubt it.
It's not a small amount. How could you we get $50k?
Those little creeps.
How did you manage the finance to end up like this?
I'll never get out of this house bought by my son's hard earned money.
So whether you lend the money or rob the bank, you take care of it.
People will take Sowon wasted money.
The money was spent on Hyunwoo's hospital bills. Mom's so...
Gyunwoo!
If it's not an emergency, let's talk later. Our house's bombarded now.
I'm bombarded too. I might lose my modeling job because of that woman.
-That woman? -Well, it's...
What's wrong with you, Dawon? Let's talk outside.
-I... -Dawon.
Where could I borrow $50k for a month?
Gee. What's with you? My situation's a bit awkward.
What situation? Getting caught after ripping off someone?
That lady told me all about it. She said you stole her $5,000.
What's wrong with her? I labored for that money.
I gave her good times after we met at a Bali nightclub.
She enjoyed it so much that she wired me $5,000.
I enjoyed that money so she can't frame me as a thief now.
-That's like a defamation. -Whatever.
She might bombard my phone if you don't meet her tomorrow.
So you pay her or sue her, you take care of it.
If you make me call her, I'll tell her your address and number. Got that?
What's going on? You could've called. What are you doing here at this hour?
Didn't you say you have some money left after moving to a smaller house?
Let me borrow that money. I'll pay you bank interest on top.
My husband has it so I've never even seen it.
Why? Because of Sowon's loan?
I was going to ignore it but it's not easy.
Can you ask your husband if he could lend that to me?
I'll try.
If he can't lend the whole $50k, just some, okay?
Alright.
I wonder if people still mock stepmothers.
Even a biological mother can't be any nicer.
Hello?
Hey, Jinhee. I heard you were scouted as a VP at the CE Group.
Hi. I was going to call you.
Do you know Mikwang Bank is the CE Group's partner bank?
-We should have a drink soon. -Yes, I'll call you.
-Oh, can I ask something? -What is it?
Can you find out a loan situation of this person, Sowon Han?
Sowon Han? That name sounds familiar.
Ah... I heard the CE Group asked something about her to our upper.
What do you mean?
You should ask your company. Don't forget about our drink next time.
-Call me. -Hey.
CE Group meddled with Sowon's loan?
<Loan Payment Deadline Notice for the amount of $50,000>
<Can't lend you $50,000 but can do $5,000. Sorry, Sowon.>
$5,000 is a lot. Thanks, Sunyoung.
Geez. You have no time to play with your necklace.
I think bad things keep happening because the necklace lost its ring.
I'll wear his ring again and beg the bank people again or friends tomorrow.
You have no job or some building. Who'd lend you $50k?
I don't have rich friends but maybe a few can loan like $5,000.
I already found one so I'll find the rest nine.
You all must come home by 6 p.m. today.
I'm inviting a VIP guest so I expect all of you to be here.
-A VIP guest? Who? -Our new VP of Management Support.
I invited him to get to know you guys.
Ihyun, get ready to greet him.
Alright.
Oh. When you meet him for lunch today, invite him for dinner, okay?
Uh... You already knew VP Kang, Sukhyun?
Since he didn't want to transfer to that department, Grandma asked him...
...to meet him a few more times.
What if he has another appointment?
He's a workaholic so I'm sure he has no dinner engagement.
If he does, we can change the plan then.
Alright.
What brought you to my room?
You felt bad about feigning ignorance when you already knew about VP Kang?
I don't want to give any excuses. How's the deal with Sowon going?
She promised not to show up on Wednesday?
She wouldn't have protested for five years if she'd be that easy.
What's your point?
Should I meet Sowon?
Apart from Margot contract, Grandma can find out about her soon.
She'll mock us if she finds out she protested for five years.
If you allow me, I'll go convince her.
She thinks of you as an enemy but not so much with me.
I won't if you don't want me to.
You do whatever you want.
Yes, I should get rid of Sowon Han first. VP Kang is next.
We have a delivery? I'll go.
-I have to meet the bank chief on the way. -Today's Saturday.
Oh, yeah. It's Saturday.
Did you discuss with your mother-in-law?
Yes.
And?
She got ill from worries. I shouldn't have mentioned it.
I'm the one who should be ill now.
I'll be back.
You probably didn't even sleep well. Get some rest. You might faint.
I'm okay. Where should I deliver this?
Your house.
My house?
Will it be done today?
Yes, when we get the kitchen sink and the furniture.
Great.
Delivery. Where should I take these?
We'll eat inside. I'll take it.
Was it bad with CE Group?
What do you think? They played a good cop, then a bad cop.
A few days ago, the Chairwoman's granddaughter visited me.
She asked me not to protest in return for money since...
...they'll have VIP guests next Wednesday.
Granddaughter?
Find out all the loans Hyunwoo and Sowon have.
Yes, I'll find out all the loans.
Then they were discussing...?
Go visit the site and do an exact simulation of next Wednesday's visit.
I'm also going to visit our store now.
Should I call our new restaurant to cancel your visit then?
No, I'll stop by there too.
Okay, please take care.
I guess you came early this time.
Grandma invited you to dinner.
Pardon?
I was going to call but I was thankful about keeping quiet about yesterday.
And Grandma ordered me to tell you in person.
The time's 6 p.m. I'll text you our address.
You work at Strategy & Planning, right?
Did the CE Group pressure Mikwang Bank recently?
Pressure?
I don't really work but I've never heard of that.
Then did the upper management really get involved?
Good. I'm invited to dinner so I should ask Ms. Chair.
What's your relationship to Sowon Han?
Let's say I owe her when I don't owe her.
I'll see you in the evening.
You're coming here everyday when you quit.
-Get me the new pasta menu. -Okay, wait.
What's that about Mikwang Bank?
10 minutes passed already. That dork better show up.
Who am I?
Remember me?
How could any man forget a beautiful woman like you?
If he does, he'd be acting Buddha in front of Angelina Jolie.
Then what's with your face in front of this beauty?
How could I smile when you consider me a thief?
I told you five years ago. I said I'd send $500.
If you got $5,000 instead, you should've called me.
You even changed your number and disappeared.
You got it all wrong.
Due to an unavoidable circumstance, I had to break off all contacts with people.
You think I'd believe that? Forget it.
What will you do about my $4,500?
You plan to get paid? You won't be so nice to let it go, will you?
Of course not. Seeing you act this way, I must get it back.
What's this?
I'll pay you back with my labors.
What?
$100 every time I meet you. I'll give you delightful service 45 times.
Call me when you have food leftovers. Or need a movie-going partner. Call me.
And. Call me anytime you need me where ever you are.
-Deal! -You kidding me?
No, I'm not. It's an opportunity to see your joy Bali Billy all you want.
What better luck is this?
My, you're some narcissist. You say luck?
I've got no money even if you squeezed me.
I'm recommending sincerely for the practical purpose.
So you'll come running whenever I call with each coupon?
Yes!
Call! But you better answer my calls before three rings.
Gee. That's too... Five rings.
Four. No more discount.
If you disappear again, I'm gonna bombard that wench's phone.
Calling my sister-in-law a wench is too wild for your image.
Sister-in-law? She's not your girlfriend?
I have no girlfriend. I'm forever young, free and single. Nothing changed.
Of course it changed. You're not too young. Six years passed.
Very young compared to you, sis.
I'm so hungry now. Any good restaurant around here?
One coupon for lunch.
You're buying, right?
SisâŚ
I have no money to buy even ramen.
You dork. Are you saying I have to use one coupon to eat lunch with you?
Who am I? I'm the legendary Bali Billy. You'll never regret.
Long time no see.
Oh, the warehouse guy. No wonder you seemed familiar.
-Did you come to take a look? -What are you doing here?
What is a person like you doing here again?
I came as a customer.
He used to work here as a part-timer and recently quit.
So he probably came here to help with sales.
Part-timer?
What is it this time? You came to steal our recipe?
Your habit of framing someone without knowing the facts.
What?
Jinhee, she's the VP at our headquarter.
This store has no issues except it's difficult to get street customers...
...being located on the second floor.
So if you have to talk, talk outside for the customers.
I have to time to talk with you so get out.
We don't need your money so don't even show up at our stores. Got that?
I can't promise that.
I want to confirm something with you but I'll hold it for now.
No customers since it's weekend. Did your mother go delivery?
She went to market. You didn't have lunch yet, right?
I have no appetite. Make some soybean noodles.
We're out of soybean broth. I'll go make it quickly. Wait a bit, Mother.
My. Where do we find a blind rich who'd lend us $50k?
Welcome. Please wait a bit.
Is this the restaurant where Sowon Han works?
-You came to meet her? -Are you her mother?
Yes? Should I call her for you?
No, no. I think it's best to talk with you instead.
I'm... from the CE Group.
I heard my daughter came here a few days ago.
Here.
What do you say we sever our evil fate now?
I'm heartbroken to see Sowon protesting every week as I have a daughter myself.
Gee. Like how much will you offer...
Director.
Please make a wise decision for my daughter and for your daughter too.
I beg you. Bye.
The restaurant is very cozy.
What was she doing here?
What's this?
You accepted this, Mother? Give it to me, Mother.
If I don't give it back now, it'll be difficult to give it back later.
No, no. With this, we can pay all our debts and still have some left.
-We don't have to give it back. -Mother!
I got them this time. How come a mother and a daughter are not alike at all?
Mother!
What's going on?
Mother, give it to me!
Give it to me, Mother. We need to return it now.
Good. Tell them to pay back all the debt and you just get out of there.
The new Management & Support VP knows about Mikwang Bank.
We must make sure he doesn't say a word about it to Grandma.
Hello.
What do you think about Ihyun? I've already talked with your parents.
It changed so much, it doesn't look like my house.
Let's get along.
