Jeongsook.
Why? You think you're seeing a ghost?
Jeonsook...
You a human? You call yourself a human?
How could you do this as a human being?
How could you do this to me? How could you...
-Mom. -Mother.
-Mom, wake up.
What if something happened to my mom?
I'll never forgive you.
What happened?
What in the...
Did Ji...
Grandmother. Mother had a smooth inauguration today.
I'll be working as the Vice CEO from next week.
Smooth inauguration? Nothing happened?
Why? Did something have to happen?
Sowon and Jinhee let it happen when they had the USB?
USB?
Why do they have the USB? That was in the house.
Sowon and Jinhee got it from Mom's room recently.
What?
I'm sure they let Mom have the inauguration with a reason.
But it'll be a matter of time before Mom steps down.
You won't be safe either since she made you the Vice CEO.
Are you telling the truth? Jinhee really has the USB?
-You should go the hospital... -What for? I feel better already at home.
Don't worry about me and just go to work.
Sowon.
Wait.
I won't stand it anymore. I'm going to report her to the police.
While trying to persuade to turn herself in, Mom almost got killed...
We have to find the perfect timing to go see the police.
No. I'm scared of her.
I'm scared of what she might do again to people close to me.
She won't do anything rash since we have the USB.
Please don't be nervous. Just take care of Mother.
I'll call up the board meeting when I get to work. Alright?
Did you find out when I can have the board meeting?
Yes. All the executives went on a vacation since it's a holiday.
I think earliest we can have is next week.
VP of Marketing? This is Jinhee Kang.
I need to talk to you urgently.
Of course! Why leave her alone! Let her go to jail!
She lost her mind over that stupid CEO seat.
Otherwise, how could she do that to her in-law?
Not only is she her in-law but Jeongsook was so nice to her since her youth.
Forget that she stole her friend's lover but trying to kill her?
She's completely gone insane. She lost her senses because of her ambition!
How else could she do this?
We lost that weasel, Ji. Darn.
I can't stand this.
Even if she was my mom, I won't stand it anymore.
You have the USB, right? Let's report her to police.
Come on.
Are you alright?
Yes, I'm okay. Leave the matter to Jinhee.
He's an only person who'd take care of this with cool head.
Mom.
-Ms. In-law. -Do as I say, Gyunwoo.
Jinhee has the USB? What the hell happened?
-Who said that? VP Kang? -No, Sukhyun.
Didn't you know they found it in your room?
It was in my room?
Hello?
I wanted to drag you down but too bad I have to let Jinhee do it.
-What? Drag me down? -We're over since Jinhee has the USB.
Is it true Jinhee has the USB?
I wanted take revenge on you but I gave up because of the USB.
Oh, I'm recording this too so you better not look for me anymore.
Hello? Ji. Ji...
VP Kang has the USB?
What will you do now!
I'll be struck with lightening because of you! How will you take care of it!
Be quiet. My head's ringing with a headache.
Don't dream about dragging me down with you. Die all by yourself. Got that?
Jeongsook Lee kidnapping on top of the USB. What do I do now?
I'm giving you an opportunity to reverse the wrong decision all of you made.
Was it true there is a proof?
Please call up a board meeting. I'll reveal the proof then.
Is it true you have the USB?
You found out now?
I... I'll cancel your appointment to China bureau.
No, I'll step down from the CEO seat. Just let me step down quietly.
How could you ask me this? Don't you know what you've done?
I'll step down, I will! Just give me a few days. Can't you?
I shouldn't have asked a man who's eager to take the CEO seat.
Even if I've abandoned her, I'm her mother. It'd be better to talk to Sowon.
For Sowon's sake...
Stop everything. I have a limit to my patience.
No, she's different from you. She'll listen to me if I ask her.
If you hurt her or Mother again, I'd have no choice but to report you to police.
Remember that.
Are you alright?
You're not sick anywhere?
I've never asked him to hurt you. He just lost his mind and acted on his own.
Think about it. You've been my friend for tens of years. How could I?
Hey. Where are you going?
Why should I listen when the first word out of your mouth is a lie?
I'll turn myself in.
I will.
Please have a seat.
You better turn yourself soon. You know the kids have the USB, right?
Sowon's about to run to police right today.
That's why I'm begging you.
Please give me some time to step down quietly.
-And you'll pull a trick again? -What could I do when they got the proof?
Please convince Sowon and Jinhee for me. Please, Jeongsook.
They don't listen to me. You better ask or beg them directly.
Then send them to my house tomorrow.
I want to cook a bowl of rice cake soup with my own hands.
Sowon's heart is bleeding with wounds. You're the only one that can mend her.
If you ever do something bad again...
Could I trust you?
You'll send VP Kang and Sowon to my house, right?
I hope she acts like Sowon's mom for once.
Mom.
Sowon.
Why?
I have a favor to ask you.
Favor?
I'll go to your house with Jinhee at 10 a.m. tomorrow.
She's coming with Jinhee?
There's a way out of everything. I must find a way to survive again.
Answer it.
Mommy will be waiting with delicious rice cake soup.
-Mommy? -Sowon.
You want me to go. But I really hate to go.
She's cornered with nowhere to run.
Even if she deceives you again, it'll be the last time.
Don't you hate her? Don't you want to pay her back?
She's your birth mother.
I'm forgiving her for your sake.
Mom.
It's the New Year after today.
I hope you forget about all the bad things that happened this year.
No. I'll never forgive her for what she's done to you.
You call this a rice cake soup?
Why, Mother? I got up at dawn to make this...
Yeah right. It's a five-minute instant soup.
Huh? How did you know it's instant? I can't tell.
Can't fool me. I'm an enemy with MSG, didn't you know?
You're overdoing it. Before I met Sowon, I've lived on MSG thanks to you.
You...
-Wow, this tastes great. -Doesn't it? Here, kimchi.
My, my.
Can't find one thing to compliment. Not a good cook, doesn't bear any kid.
Go bring Sowon's rice cake soup right now.
If you don't want me to starve from the New Year.
Aren't you too mean from the New Year, Mother?
Too mean? What did I do?
I've begged you not to compare me to Sowon but look at you.
If you like her so much, live with her.
That... She's so immature and rude.
Nobody likes any repeats even if it's their favorite song.
You nag about her age and getting pregnant... And compare her to Sowon.
Unless you want me to divorce her, let's stop. Stop, please.
Dear.
Fine, dork. You and her now make me an outcast?
Yes, Ms. Outcast.
You're dead if you don't make me a grandchild this year.
What are you two doing here?
We were supposed to meet your mother here. She's not here?
-You're supposed to Ms. Shin? -She went out earlier.
-To where? -Not sure.
Huh?
Where did she go after forcing me to come here?
What do you want?
What do I want?
Where are you?
I'm in my office. Why?
Why are you there when you're meeting us here at 10 am?
I'm meeting you?
Huh?
You begged my mom to convince us to come over here. What are you up to?
What are you talking about?
Fine. I have no reason to hear your story.
Only thing left to do is going to police.
Sowon!
What in the?
What on earth is she talking about? I'm supposed to meet her at 10?
What's this? I have no memory of these texts.
She's at her office?
I think... She's trying to earn time.
Forget it. We've done our best.
Are you going to see the police?
We should go.
Ms. Shin is over now.
If she gets arrested, does that mean I'll become the CEO?
I've become forgetful maybe because of the stress.
I repeat things and I forget appointments.
And sometimes it feels like part of my memory completely disappears.
It could happen if you're under extreme emotional or physical stress.
Why don't we do a simple test?
Today's date is... 201...
2014.
What date was today?
December.
No. It's January, isn't it?
I guess it could be confusing since it's the New Year.
Follow after three words. Airplane, pencil, pine tree.
-Airplane, pencil, pine tree. -Good. Remember those three words.
What is 7 subtracted from 100?
-7 subtracted from 100 is 93. -And subtract another 7 from 93?
87. I mean. 86.
Again, subtract 7 from 86.
80. I mean, 70.
Subtract what from what?
Don't worry.
I forget simple math since I always use a calculator.
True.
Do you remember the first three words?
Pardon?
Do you need my permission?
I thought I should tell you before we go see the police.
Don't mind me.
Mother-in-law wouldn't have ended up like that if you pressed charges sooner.
I hope you can stop my mom before worse things happen.
Yes. Stopping her from harming more people is better for her, Sowon.
Yes, I agree.
Who'd go to the police station though?
I'll go.
No, I will. You should watch Ms. Chair.
I will do it.
I don't want you both to press charges against your own mother.
I'm glad both of you have decided to press charges.
I'll go to the police station.
Ms. Chair, did we make a right decision?
You would've done the same thing if you weren't sick, right?
Dr. Yang. 24 hours isn't even enough for me.
I have no time to do this kind of an annoying exam.
I'm not 100% sure but there's a chance of Alzheimer's disease.
What? Alzheimer's disease... Means dementia?
It might not be but you should make time to run some tests.
I have dementia?
That's absurd, Doctor.
You should get the tests as soon as possible for an accurate result.
Dementia at my age?
Me, dementia? The CE Group's CEO?
You'll regret if you leave now. Please let us run some tests.
I don't need it. I'm just forgetful.
Dementia?
It'll get harder if you postpone. Get some exams and if you're not, forget about it.
I won't see you anymore if you're wasting my time.
Let's get inside.
Dementia?
I'm not mistaken, right?
Why? Did you forget something?
What's wrong? Is something wrong?
-We just saw our mother. -Mom? She was here?
Do you know any neurologist here?
I need to check something on her.
-Check? -Why? Is she sick?
Not definite but I heard her talking to a neurologist just now.
And he said there's a chance that she has dementia.
Dementia?
There's no way. She has such a good memory.
No, you must be mistaken. That's impossible.
I hope I'm wrong.
Did you say she saw a neurologist?
This is a temporal lobe where it holds all the memories.
Do you notice it's quiet smaller than other areas?
This is a common trait among Alzheimer's patients.
Are you saying my mom has Alzheimer's disease?
She's at an early stage but I believe so.
Is there a cure if she's at an early stage?
We can slow the progress but there's no complete cure.
Get some rest today.
You were under too much stress these days.
Sukhyun will be alright, you think?
Huh? Why is Ihyun here?
-What are you doing here? -Have you been to the police station?
-You came to check that? -No, I came to see how Aunt is doing.
You did?
I guess you didn't go see the police. Will you leave VP Shin like that?
Strange. Shouldn't you stop me if I say I'll report her?
Only thing I need to stop now is to stop a criminal from sitting at the CEO desk.
Shouldn't a qualified person run the company asap?
Qualified person? You're not talking about yourself, are you?
It's a common sense for the Vice CEO to become an interim CEO...
...if the CEO seat is vacant.
So you came all the way here to check if we went to see the police.
Just don't drag things and do it quickly! If you don't, I'll just...
Aren't you too much, Ihyun?
-You know what state Mother is in? -You shut your mouth.
Mother has Alzheimer's disease.
Dawon.
Alzheimer's?
Stop with your nonsense, Dawon.
That nonsense is true so just go back!
Is what she just said true?
Ms. Shin has Alzheimer's?
Then our CE Group is in the hand of an Alzheimer's patient?
That's not possible. Never.
No.
No, no. It can't be. Me?
I, Haeran Shin, have dementia? That's impossible.
It's me, Dr. Yang. Do you have the test result?
I should see you at the hospital tomorrow.
Just tell me if I am or not.
If you're quiet, I'll take it as a yes. I don't have dementia, right?
Do I...
Do I really have dementia?
This isn't possible. This is not right!
How can it be when she just became the CEO?
She'll have to give up her seat and then I'll take it over.
I'm glad Sowon takes after you. And thank you.
I want to get my birth mother back.
