(It's My Life)
Now, it's time for the two of you to explain.
About what do you want us to explain?
A few days ago, Mr. Bang met Ahn Hyun Joo,
who was the nurse in charge when Nam Jin went missing.
Also, Mr. Bang gave her a large amount of money and got a receipt.
What do I have to do with that?
You are involved in it.
Why did Mr. Bang...
give the receipt to you, Ms. Choi?
That receipt,
I'm holding onto it as collateral.
As collateral?
I'll hold onto it as collateral until he pays back...
the 50,000 dollars I lent to him.
It's neither a land document nor a real estate register.
You're holding onto a receipt for the 30,000 dollars...
he gave to someone else?
It sounds like a lame excuse to me.
He neither owns any land nor a house under his name.
Shouldn't I at least hold onto that receipt?
Mr. Bang.
Then why did you give that money to Ms. Ahn Hyun Joo?
Oh, that was about...
Didn't you tell me that it's an investment?
Yes, that's right.
I'm investing in her.
She's just a nurse. What kind of business is she starting...
that you decided to invest in her?
It sounded like she wanted to open...
an in-home care facility for the elderly.
Yes, that's correct.
An in-home care facility for the elderly.
Hyun Joo is immensely interested in that matter.
Is that so?
Well, it won't take long to find out whether or not it's true.
But you know what?
From this meeting with the two of you,
I'm getting a visceral sense that I am approaching...
the truth.
"The truth"?
What kind of nonsense scenario are you writing...
that you're saying such a thing to me?
Think about it.
A head nurse at an OB-GYN clinic...
suddenly wants to open an in-home care facility for the elderly?
Don't you think it's such a lame and weak excuse?
Now, it's only a matter of time before the truth comes out.
Sorry for taking up your time first thing in the morning.
What are we going to do now?
What if he asks Hyun Joo whether or not she'll open such a facility?
What do we do?
Why are you just sitting there?
We must make sure she doesn't say anything before he finds out.
Okay, I'll figure out what's going on now.
How did it go, sir?
Just as I expected.
She cleverly got out of it.
They said he gave Ms. Ahn the money as an investment for a facility...
she wants to open.
Shall I meet Ms. Ahn and verify it with her?
No, Bang Cheol Sang must've made a move already.
You should keep looking for people who worked with Ms. Ahn...
- on the day of the incident. - Yes, sir.
If I manage to secure a few more things to back up my claim,
I'll request a re-investigation through Prosecutor Yu.
A re-investigation?
Didn't the statute of limitations expire already?
As for child kidnapping cases, it begins upon finding the child.
Please focus on finding firm evidence.
Yes, sir.
When you silence people with money,
they're bound to speak.
Now, it's only a matter of time before the truth comes out.
I barely managed to stop Si Woo,
and he's still trying to dig up what happened back then?
He's just wasting his time.
How will he reveal the truth that didn't come out even 30 years ago?
He's just trying to provoke me.
Hey, Si Woo.
I rarely see you these days.
I've been busy preparing for the third round of the contest.
It's good that you've been working hard, but you look exhausted.
You work nonstop all day long without any breaks,
and you've been drinking every night.
Don't you know that you shouldn't drink while taking herbal medicine?
I drink only a couple of shots because I can't fall asleep.
Oh, right. We received the sample from Minhan earlier today.
Is that right? How did it look?
It was very satisfactory.
That's a relief.
We put advertising of our clothes...
at great places in malls and stores.
So the sales gap of the second round will decrease soon.
Thank you.
By the way, did you try to turn Minhan's clients away...
by any chance?
Oh, that?
Well, I only bluffed,
but he changed my mind.
Mr. Han must know...
that I'm very powerful in this industry.
However, why are you asking that?
I was just curious.
That's what running a business is like.
In order to achieve your goals,
you should know how to make others do as you say.
Of course. I can't let them take Hyunkang away from me.
We won the first round.
But the other team's sales were higher than ours.
The second round was a tie.
But we lost completely in sales.
All that's left for us is the third round.
We must win the contest and sales number.
Designers, finish revising perfectly even if you have to work overtime.
Mr. Jo and Ms. Kim, review the production report again.
- Yes, sir. - Yes, sir.
No one can leave work until you get my approval.
Yes, sir.
He's so scary.
He's gone back to how he used to be before the first round.
- Right? - Exactly.
He drove us so hard back then.
- I got gastritis. - I know.
It's normal for him to act like that as we're losing.
Mr. Choi has too much pride to accept this situation.
Let's focus on the work. Okay?
Shall we cross-check the revision of Jin Ah's design?
Let's do that, Ms. Seo.
Let's check our process for a moment.
- Okay. - Okay.
The design portfolio and production report are done.
Have you finished revising the designs...
for the clothes made with safflower seed and mugwort?
Yes. I'm done, but I'll double check everything.
Okay.
We still have time to prepare...
the purchase order, dyes, and presentation materials.
The problem is the soybean fabric.
I'm going to go to Minhan after the meeting.
I'll work all night to finish it by tomorrow, so don't worry.
- Okay. I'll go with you. - Pardon?
I'll go with Mr. Koo.
I can't because of the customs entry for the subsidiary materials.
What?
I said I'll go.
Why? Do you not want to go with me?
What's going on?
Did the two of you have a fight? Did you?
If you don't want to go with Nam Jin,
would you go with me, the handsome man, instead?
That's okay. And we didn't fight.
I'm just worried he might get too tired.
Mr. Ahn, Seung Joo cares so much about you.
I'm so envious.
I wish someone could take care of me like she does.
No one else takes care of you like I do.
I'll get going now.
Seung Joo.
I wonder why my girlfriend is upset again.
I'm not upset.
I'll go by myself.
Why are you insisting on going with me when I can do it alone?
It's because we must win the third round. I mean,
We will make sure to win.
I will make sure we win.
I can fix the design perfectly.
Is it because of your father?
What? Well... Actually...
You're afraid he might get angry at me...
because I lent money to Jin Ah, right?
Goodness. How did you know?
Your father is not angry.
So don't worry.
(CEO Han Man Seok)
- Mr. Han. - Oh, okay.
Dad.
- Hey. - Oh, my. Welcome, Mr. Ahn.
- Hi, Seung Joo. - Hi.
Welcome.
- Ms. Ko. - Yes?
- Please make some tea for them. - Yes, sir.
Give Mr. Ahn chrysanthemum tea.
I learned that he likes chrysanthemum tea.
I'll drink tea when I come back from the factory, Father.
Okay then.
What's wrong with you two? Is the heater not working?
Why are you wearing the same scarf?
You don't need to know, you brat.
Let's go and check the process.
- Yes. - We'll be back shortly.
Let's go.
What? My dad is acting weird.
He would've said something to Nam Jin.
Oh, my. I guess you didn't know.
Sorry? About what?
After you left yesterday, Mr. Ahn stopped by.
Nam Jin came here?
Haven't you thought of Seung Joo?
Would she have felt good when she heard...
your mother and Ms. Choi complaining about such a thing?
Seung Joo told me to lend her money, Father.
She said she didn't want Jin Ah to have negative thoughts...
when she's even carrying a baby,
and she would feel bad.
Seung Joo has such a good heart, Father.
Goodness, you.
Just because Seung Joo told you to lend her money,
did you lend her money right away?
I'll do whatever she tells me.
She wouldn't tell me to do something that could cause me harm.
That's... My goodness.
I'm very grateful that...
you raised Seung Joo...
to be such a sweet and lovely woman.
I didn't learn about a father's love as I grew up.
So I think of you as my own father.
Because of my hot temper,
I've wronged you many times.
Thank you for thinking highly of me.
You did what you did because you were worried about me and Seung Joo.
Oh, right. This is for you.
What... What is this?
I thought it'd be nice if you and your wife wear them.
What? Nam Jin gave you two these scarves?
Yes. That's not all.
He also made a list of the companies in China and Vietnam...
that we can work with.
Mr. Ahn is really incredible.
That's why I fell in love with him.
Hello?
Are my clothes done already?
What time do you close the shop?
Can I send someone else?
Okay. If there's anything I don't like, please fix it.
This is so awkward. Why would she ask me to pick them up?
Well, it'll be okay. I'm sure she doesn't know my face.
(Needle and Thread)
Hello? Is anyone here?
Yes. I'll be right out.
(Pregnancy Diary)
No way. Is she pregnant?
Ms. Choi is completely and utterly evil.
Did she drive away the woman who's pregnant with her grandchild?
- She's insane. - Who are you?
Who are you? I asked who you are.
Did Ms. Choi send you?
No... No, no.
That's not the case.
I'll never show up in front of Mr. Choi, so tell her not to worry.
Leave now.
No, please don't get the wrong idea.
I'm here because my sister asked me to pick up...
her clothes she left with you for repairs.
It's Ko Yeon Sil. Her name is Ko Yeon Sil.
We don't need to revise it anymore, right?
Yes, it's perfect.
Let's call it a day.
My gosh, it finally got approved. Let's go home, everyone.
Is Mr. Choi feeling sick or something?
He seems unwell.
I think he's been having a hard time since Jin Ah left.
He must be heartbroken.
He was anxious about the contest to begin with.
I'm sure he's devastated.
Okay.
I changed the faucet for you.
Is there anything else that needs to be fixed?
No, nothing else.
Thank you.
My boyfriend, you're the best.
Thank me with a reward.
Come on, here.
Gosh, stop it.
Goodness. If you don't give me the reward,
I may report you to the police.
All right, then. Take this tea as your reward.
Goodness, look at this lady.
You're trying to get away with not paying me.
By the way, I can't believe this is our last day having to work late.
It feels surreal.
Who knows? It may only be the beginning.
Whether you end up inheriting the company or not,
I'll start focusing on my own business after the contest.
You'll actually start a shopping mall?
I'll either start a shopping mall or join my dad's company.
I'll do one of the two.
What about me, then?
Gosh, think about it.
If you do end up inheriting the company,
it won't be a good idea for us to work together anyway.
Everyone knows that we're in a relationship.
They'll be like, "That couple is trying to get all the kickbacks."
What if I don't inherit the company?
Then why would I stay at Hyunkang even when you won't be there?
That is true.
How am I going to earn a living if I don't inherit Hyunkang?
I can't move back to Oepo because you're here.
Can you give me a job at your shopping mall?
No, I can't.
A real man should be more tenacious and persistent.
You said you'd be sure...
to protect your grandpa's company, Hyunkang. Have you forgotten?
No, I have not.
Good. That's my boyfriend.
Oh, right. Thank you.
My dad is...
a huge fan of yours now.
Then thank me with a reward.
Come here.
You're not getting it.
He should've bought me things like this...
when I was younger and pretty as a flower.
We're still young.
They say your real life begins when you turn 60.
Let's get dressed up, go to nice places,
and eat delicious foods.
When I was stressed out, sick,
or saw other families out and about having a great time,
I waited for him, thinking he might show up.
What was he doing back then? Now that I'm doing much better,
he had to show up and annoy me like this.
That's why people say it's all about timing.
You see,
I don't have any feelings left for him whatsoever.
I have no idea what he expects from me after all these years.
If you don't want to get back together with him, just be firm.
How?
"We're through,"
"and there's someone I like."
I want to keep my feelings hidden.
It's not like I want to do anything about it,
so please just act like you don't know.
Did I say you should act on it?
I've received the final designs and reports from both teams.
I'll announce the results as soon as they become available.
- Yes. - Yes.
Also, the lineup of judges will be completely different this time.
What do you mean?
Are they qualified?
Or did you pick them based on your preferences?
My preferences? Then it'd be those in the judiciary circle.
They'd obviously know nothing about fashion.
I've sent out a memo regarding their past experiences.
Please check the memo.
Can we go ahead and start production?
Yes, of course.
All right, then.
Mr. Heo, why don't you join our team for lunch today?
Is there good news?
I thought about it and realized I've never treated you to a meal.
To thank you for your guidance and support,
I'd like to treat you to a meal.
My guidance?
I'm the one who learned from you through this whole process.
I'll meet you at your office at lunchtime.
Sure.
Jin Ah.
Because you're gone,
I'm falling apart like this.
Is this what you wanted?
Most of the judges from the previous rounds have been replaced.
Mr. Jang, that means most of Ms. Choi's supporters...
have been replaced, right?
Then what's going to happen?
Does it mean we're at a disadvantage?
Not exactly,
but it certainly doesn't give us an advantage.
The judges shouldn't matter.
We just have to do a good job.
Right, more than half of the judges in the second round were...
Ms. Choi's people, but they voted unanimously for the other team.
Mr. Jo.
You'd be great if you watched what you say.
Hi, Dae Sik.
Could you come to the café for a few minutes?
My parents want to see you before they leave.
Now?
Okay.
Here.
What is this, Mr. Kang?
What do you think? I want to buy you a car.
A car? You mean, an automobile?
He thinks it must be cumbersome for the two of you...
to commute to work,
so he wants to buy a car for the two of you.
Oh, my. Seriously?
- Dad, you're the best. - I am, aren't I?
Come on, guys. Pick one.
- Pick the model you like. - No, it's okay. I can't afford it.
- It'll cost a lot to maintain it. - To maintain it?
I'll take care of the registration and insurance expenses.
- And Dae Sik can pay for gas. - That's right.
Come on, Yeon Ji. Pick one.
This one will be good.
Dae Sik, that's too small.
Soon, you'll have a kid. You should get a bigger one.
- A bigger model. - Well, what about colour?
Yeon Ji will own the car, so how about red?
- Yes, red will be nice. - I agree.
Thank you so much. I'm about to tear up.
My gosh, don't cry just yet.
This summer, the four of us will go on a trip abroad.
- A trip abroad? - Yes.
It'd be great if you two could get married before that.
- What do you think, Yeon Ji? - Gosh, honey.
Just let them decide.
Today, let's just pick a nice car for Yeon Ji.
- Right, let's pick one. - Yes, pick something big.
The most expensive model.
- No, don't say that. - Sure, pick whatever you like.
- Thank you. - Get a big car.
I noticed that you replaced all of the previous judges.
Yes.
Abusing your authority like that will get you in trouble.
I selected experts from related fields...
and informed the board of the decision.
I remember you came in late on the day of the board meeting?
I heard that you were unwell that day...
because of what happened between you and Mr. Bang the day before.
Mr. Heo, you're making a mistake.
Whatever you do,
the owner of Hyunkang is still my son, Si Woo.
The harder you try to corner me...
and cut off my arms and legs,
the stronger I become. You should know that.
The truth will be revealed soon.
You had better think about what to do...
when it happens.
I'll never let this slide.
Just wait and see what I'll do.
That's enough.
Are you talking to me?
Threats, coercion, and verbal abuse.
Do you like bringing others to their knees by using those that much?
Do you really think that's good for Si Woo?
It's presumptuous of you to be concerned about it.
Haven't you learned manners?
It's presumptuous of me,
but I'd like to tell you one thing.
Please stop causing the people I love distress.
I'm begging you.
You don't need to worry about it.
What shall we have for lunch?
How about rich soybean paste stew?
That sounds great. Seung Joo will love it.
Threats, coercion, and verbal abuse.
Do you like bringing others to their knees...
by using those that much?
Do you really think that's good for Si Woo?
You arrogant punk.
How dare you falter Si Woo?
I've done unthinkable things for my son Si Woo.
I wish you had died back then.
Why did you appear and ruin everything?
What do you want?
I told you not to come to my office just as you like!
We're in trouble, Ms. Choi.
What do you mean?
It looks like Mr. Heo met another witness.
Another witness?
Who?
The nurse who was also on duty that day.
She said she had seen me with you.
(It's My Life)
You should leave. Never come back to Korea.
- How much money will you give me? - 300,000 dollars.
Let me know if you need any help.
I'll help you as an apology.
I miss Mr. Choi so much.
Sun Ja, won't you go with me?
What are you saying? Go where?
