(Episode 104)
What do you think you're doing?
This is a serious family matter.
I'm really curious, Jin Bok.
I want to talk to him alone.
If I see any of you lurking around, I won't forgive you.
Drink up.
It doesn't seem like you're here to apologize.
Why are you here?
I came to ask you something.
- What? - Do you really not...
remember anything?
Remember what?
What are you talking about all of a sudden?
By any chance,
is it about the so-called resentment your mom has against me?
- Yes. - I'm the one who wishes to know...
what in the world that is.
After I heard about it from Seo Jun, I thought about it long and hard,
but I really don't know what it could be.
On the year that I was born,
you went on a business trip to China with my mom.
On the year that you were born?
It's been over 30 years now.
Are you seriously asking me to remember what happened back then?
You got so drunk on Chinese liquor...
that you could barely remember anything the next day.
What?
How can you not remember anything...
after having ruined one woman's life?
Are you talking about your mom?
Are you saying...
I ruined your mom's life? Me?
By any chance,
are you talking about how your mom...
got severely injured after having gotten beaten up by a pickpocket?
A pickpocket?
It wasn't a pickpocket.
Then...
were the rumors true?
What rumors?
A lot of rumors started to spread...
after we came back from the business trip.
During the business trip, your mom left in the middle of the night...
and came back with bleeding lips.
She told me she got attacked by a pickpocket...
while she went outside to buy water, so I believed her.
But later on, I heard rumors saying she got raped by the broker...
or that she won the deal by sleeping with someone.
There were so many rumors.
Are you saying...
you had nothing to do with it?
That's nonsense.
It was all my fault.
That only happened to her...
because I took her with me on the business trip.
Is that...
the resentment you've been talking about?
Wasn't it...
you, sir?
What do you mean?
What? Are you serious?
Don't tell me...
Don't tell me you think I'm the one who did that to your mom.
I never did such a thing! What kind of person do you think I am?
Do you think I kept your mom beside me for 30 years...
after I've done something like that to her?
Is that... Is that why you stabbed me in the back?
Who... Who did you hear this from?
Call your mom right now and ask her what happened in front of me.
Call Ms. Hong right now! Tell her to come here immediately!
How dare you...
How dare you accuse me of something like that?
Please give me some time.
I'll take care of it.
What?
You must be trying...
to blindside me and steal from me just like your mom.
But I won't let you fool me anymore.
I want you to bring your mom here and make her get on her knees.
If you do that,
you'll get to let your anger out on her but nothing else.
What? What did you say?
We took legal procedures to take the company,
so you won't be able to get it back.
What?
How... How dare you think of me like a fool?
Do you think I won't be able to get you locked up in jail?
I'm still very powerful!
I'll...
take care of it.
And how exactly are you going to do that?
How do you expect me to trust you?
If you can't trust him, that means you've lived your life in vain.
Seo Jun.
Get up, Se Hyun.
I don't know what's going on, but it's not your fault.
What do you know?
I have faith in him.
Se Hyun, don't keep it inside. Just tell me everything.
You shouldn't get involved.
Of course, I should get involved. It's regarding you and my dad.
You're one of the people I love the most.
I can't leave you two to fight because of your misunderstandings.
Get up and sit down properly.
How exactly...
are you going to handle this?
Please give me some time.
I'll put things back to normal.
Don't let him fool you, Father.
He's just trying to buy time.
He thinks we're going to file a lawsuit against them,
so he's just trying to destruct evidence.
Don't get fooled, Father.
He's exactly the same as his mom...
No. He's even worse.
Tell me...
how you're going to handle it.
Gosh, there's no need to listen.
They already fooled you more than enough times.
Why would you let them do that again?
Hey, get out of here.
You won't be able to make Father fall for your tricks by doing this.
You can't fool him twice.
I'm going to make sure you guys end up in jail.
So enjoy your power while you have it.
I'm asking you how you're going to handle it.
I'll bet...
my entire life.
What?
Gosh, look at how eloquent you are.
Even if you don't bet your life,
I'll make sure to end it no matter what.
You should give him a chance. Please, Dad.
Seo Jun, what's wrong with you?
Father, there's no need to contemplate.
He's just playing tricks...
so that we won't take any legal measures.
Okay, fine.
I want you to try and handle it.
Father, are you really going to trust him again...
even after having gotten betrayed by Hong Baek Hee?
Will you please come to your senses?
Do you really have dementia?
Se Hyun, you should get up.
What's going on?
I'll tell you next time.
I might not be here next time.
I felt bad about having yelled at you...
earlier.
So I'm really happy that I got to see you again.
I'm not asking you to apologize.
I should've trusted you a bit more.
But I ended up speaking that way to you because I got so angry.
This is your problem.
You make the fight become so useless.
But you have to realize that the world isn't so transparent.
I was told that I was immature for my entire life.
And here you are saying it again.
But I did mature a bit after I became sick.
Don't talk as if you've given up.
I haven't given up.
I'm just admitting it.
If I don't, I'll have to be angry at you until the day I die.
And I don't want to do that.
Se Hyun.
I'm sure there's a way that you,
your mom, and my dad can all get along.
That's impossible.
At least one of us will have to...
At least one of you will what?
Never mind.
I came in here because I couldn't hold in my anger.
- Yoon Tae, don't do this. - Seo Jun, stay still.
You may be able to trick my father-in-law,
but you can't fool me.
I'm going to do everything I can to make sure I destroy you.
I really hope you succeed.
- What? - I said, I really hope you succeed!
Look at you.
You're always hiding behind your mom...
acting like you don't know anything when you already do.
And you always try to fool my father-in-law and Seo Jun...
with that innocent face of yours.
Do you think I don't know that?
You're even worse than your mom, aren't you?
You probably make her take the blame for all the wrongdoings.
Your mom's also a scapegoat of your disgusting greed.
Don't you dare speak thoughtlessly.
How dare you?
Did you just push me?
Do you really want to start a fight?
Stop it!
I said, stop!
I can't get up and stop you guys.
So please stop.
Yoon Tae!
I told you to stay still.
Are you treating me like I'm dead already?
What are you talking about?
Don't mess with Se Hyun.
If you do, I won't forgive you.
What can he do to me?
One has dementia and the other is terminally ill.
What an amazing family.
My goodness.
Watch what you say.
And there's also an adulteress who's also a psycho.
Where were you?
I kept calling you so we could have a drink with Ms. Kang.
But you never answered. Where were you?
- Mom. - Yes?
I'd like to visit Dad.
What do you mean?
Why are you so startled?
It's natural for a son to want to see his dad.
What are you talking about?
Where is he?
What do you mean? Can you be more specific?
Is he buried in a grave?
Or...
I scattered his ashes in the river.
Where?
His hometown.
Jecheon?
How do you know that?
It's where Daeguk Textile started.
It's my hometown as well as my dad's and grandfather's.
So I looked into it.
Yes, of course.
Let's go there together sometime.
As for now,
you should focus on the company.
Jin Bok will try to attack us.
It won't be easy having to deal...
with legal measures as well as the press.
Don't worry. I'll take care of it.
I trust you, Se Hyun.
Of course,
Mom.
(Daehan University Hospital)
What did you want to talk to me about?
To be honest, my opinion hasn't changed.
I still think we should wait.
But I felt like it was only right to tell you.
Okay, go ahead.
The research center in Switzerland I told you about last time...
is accepting volunteers regarding a clinical trial...
for patients who were diagnosed with the Alberckros syndrome.
A clinical trial?
To be frank,
all three patients that volunteered to participate...
in their previous clinical trial...
Did they all die?
Yes.
Doctor, what are you trying to say?
Are you telling Seo Jun to give it a try?
- That's absurd. - I don't recommend it.
I'm just letting him know.
After all, we all have different opinions.
And I couldn't just decide for him without asking him.
No, he won't take part in something like that.
- I'll think about it. - What are you talking about?
There's no need to think about it. Didn't you hear what he just said?
They all died.
This is crazy.
Did you receive a notice of any kind?
Yes.
Does that mean you don't have to go to work today?
The flooring construction's going to make the place really dusty.
So they told me not to come.
But it's too bad that Seo Jun's not here.
If he just left, should I go to the hospital?
No, he should be back any minute.
See? I told you.
Seo Jun, look who's here.
When did you come? What about work?
I was told not to come because of the flooring construction.
You didn't eat lunch, did you?
Should we ask Ms. Do to cook some spicy noodles for us?
I'm craving spicy noodles.
Are you guys okay with spicy noodles?
Stop forcing it on them.
I don't mind.
See?
Where's Dad?
He went to have lunch with the guys...
he always used to have breakfast meetings with.
You guys should go upstairs and spend some time together...
until lunch is ready.
Oh, right.
Why didn't I think of that?
Seo Jun, should we switch rooms?
What do you mean?
I'm sure it's not easy for you to go up and down the stairs.
We should've switched rooms a long time ago.
I'll have someone move our stuff.
There's no need.
No, don't refuse. I should get it done as fast as I can.
I'll call someone right now and get it over with.
You guys can spend time here.
Se Hyun came to our house yesterday.
Se Hyun?
What did he say?
I didn't get to hear the details.
But he said he'll take care of it and asked for some time.
That's all he said?
What about the chairman? What did he say?
He decided to give him time.
That's a relief.
You can sit down.
I feel better helping you out.
Gosh, you even made a separate sauce.
Why did you keep refusing? Oh, goodness.
- Are you okay? - Yes.
It got on your sleeve. My goodness, what should we do?
I'm a professional at wiping stuff off.
- I'll be in the bathroom. - My goodness.
My goodness! My gosh, what am I going to do?
Gosh.
Goodness.
What are you doing?
How about I take it off?
Hurry up and take it off.
You breathe so loud.
Will you stop putting your feelings into this?
It's like you're slapping me.
I think I have a bruise on my forehead.
By any chance, did you...
spill something on this?
- No. - Yes.
To be honest, I spilled some coffee on it.
So I'm just going to buy it.
So Yu told me that it's the right thing to do.
My gosh, seriously.
We really don't click.
Have some conscience.
I can't just return the suit that I spilled coffee on.
I tried so hard to get rid of the stain without her noticing.
What's that smile on your face?
It seems like you're thinking back on your happy memories.
So Yu once came as my stylist...
when I had to do an interview.
And I suddenly got reminded of how she sprayed...
water on my suit because I had a coffee stain.
Isn't that when Seo Hyung's pants fell off?
That happened during Ji Yoon's shoot.
But how do you know about that?
The entire company heard about what happened.
I heard Seo Hyung's pants fell off while she was being...
really mean to So Yu.
I'm pretty sure someone still has a video of that.
Anyway, Seo Hyung's been through so many things, hasn't she?
So Yu.
Yes?
Lunch is ready.
Can I have a word with you?
He's going to volunteer for a clinical trial?
I'm so scared that Seo Jun might actually volunteer.
The three patients that participated in the previous clinical trial...
apparently all died.
They all died?
Is that why they're looking for someone new to participate?
Did the executive director say he'll do it?
No, not yet.
But he asked for the materials.
And it bothers me that he told the doctor that he'll think about it.
Did he say anything on his way back home?
He kept reading the notice...
regarding the clinical trial.
If all three of the past volunteers died,
that means there's no hope at all.
So why would he want to participate in that?
You know how Seo Jun can be.
If no one steps up, he always steps up instead.
I feel like he'll volunteer if no one ends up...
volunteering for the clinical trial.
I'm so worried because I have a bad feeling that he might do that.
You should try to talk him out of it.
He should at least...
be able to enjoy the time he has left.
This is so delicious.
Ms. Do.
What is it? Do you want more?
There's a basket full of noodles, so you can eat it all.
I just wanted to ask if you gave some to Seo Jun's caregiver.
We need to be nice to him...
so that he takes good care of Seo Jun.
Why would I cook for someone like him?
He receives money for food anyway.
My goodness, we can't let him eat outside...
when he lives with us.
That's just so cold-hearted.
It's always been like that.
You said you cooked a lot of noodles.
If he wishes to have some, we should share.
Okay, I'll do that.
My goodness.
Seo Jun, you're the only person that gets me in this house.
I like you way more than Jin Bok.
That's obviously a lie.
Then you're my second favorite person.
Why would anyone take away such a kind person?
I'm going to turn a blind eye on all the illegal doings...
that you've done with Ms. Hong.
Instead,
I will not allow any of you to do anything illegal from now on.
Okay, sir. We'll keep that in mind.
I want you to bring me all the materials you have.
Everything, sir?
I want everything including all the files in Mr. Choi's laptop.
What is your plan to do with that?
I'll get rid of them myself.
Okay, sir.
What?
Se Hyun asked you to bring him all the files we've been working on?
Yes, he says he wants to get rid of them himself.
So are you just going to give it to him?
No, there are so many things that can cause a problem.
But he seemed pretty resolute.
Just give him the materials that won't cause an issue.
Then I'm sure he'll notice.
Mr. Choi, hurry up.
Get rid of everything...
that might make Se Hyun get disappointed in me.
We should cleanse ourselves and become new people...
so that we can start all over again.
But wouldn't he get suspicious if we get rid of everything?
Just leave 1 or 2 things and discard everything else...
that might cause an issue.
We need to make sure nothing gets in the way of his success.
Let's forget about the old road and start paving a new one for him.
- Okay, ma'am. - Yes, ma'am.
Me too.
I want you to trace...
the money that got wired to the bank in Switzerland.
Yes, sir.
I confirmed that it ended up back in Korea but...
I want you to find out how it was used...
- to increase my shares. - Yes, sir.
But may I ask why you're asking me to do this?
I want to be aware of everything...
that might cause an issue in the future.
Ms. Hong is waiting for you, sir.
You should go.
Tell my mom that you're here...
regarding the headquarters department.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Lee, what brings you here?
He wanted to talk to me regarding the headquarters department.
Okay.
I heard you asked for all of our team's materials.
Yes, I figured I should know about anything that might cause an issue.
You don't need to care about the little things.
I'll take care of that.
If we just leave it, and it ends up causing a problem,
it'll put us in danger.
Chairman Choi will definitely file a lawsuit against us.
I have all the documents to prove our ownership of the company.
I just don't want them to use anything against us.
Okay, I'll just get rid of everything.
No, I want to check everything and get rid of them myself.
I'll feel nervous if I'm not aware of everything.
You really shouldn't take after me when it comes to wanting...
to be in charge of everything.
It'll be really exhausting if you live like that.
It's better than feeling nervous. Just let me do it myself.
Okay, I'll do that.
(So Yu)
You can pick up.
I'll talk to her later.
Do you still have stuff to talk about with her privately?
Yes, this is Hong Se Hyun. May I help you?
I'm sorry, but can you help me meet the executive director's doctor?
If you have something to say,
call my secretary and make an appointment.
I don't have much free time like I used to.
I'm sorry.
You didn't have to be so harsh.
If I let her have things her way, she'll never stop.
And I'm tired of hearing her whine...
about Seo Jun's illness.
She whines to you about Seo Jun's illness?
She's really unbelievable.
Does she not know men at all?
I want you to send me the materials by today.
Okay.
By the way, I'd like to treat Ms. Kang's parents...
to dinner sometime.
I feel like they might want to congratulate you...
on your official promotion.
Wouldn't that be better for you...
instead of calling it an official family meeting before marriage?
Yes, you can handle that yourself.
I don't want to focus on anything but the company.
Okay, I'll be off now.
We can't tell you. It's against the hospital rules.
I'm not trying to bother him or anything.
I just want to ask him something.
So can you please tell me his cell phone number?
Then I'll give you my number instead. Please tell him to call me.
I'll be waiting outside.
(Se Hyun)
Hey, Se Hyun.
What? A clinical trial?
Are you saying Seo Jun's going to volunteer?
No, he hasn't volunteered yet.
But you know how he can be.
He always tends to step up when no one does.
This isn't some kind of a ride in an amusement park.
My gosh, no way.
I know the face he makes when he's about to do something.
What is wrong with you? You're making me feel nervous.
There's only one opening for this position.
Why did the number of openings decrease?
What do you mean by "increased risks"?
Oh, a new medication?
What are the enhancements?
Are there any volunteers yet?
So Yu.
- Did you meet him? - Yes.
What did he say?
I think we should stop Seo Jun.
Is there no hope at all?
It's a new medicine. The last one was considered a failure,
so they'll be testing him with something new.
And that's why...
they're only going to accept just one volunteer.
Who would volunteer for something like that?
That's probably why Seo Jun got the notice in the first place.
I can't let him do that.
Have you talked about this with Seo Jun?
No.
What if he says he'll volunteer?
Do you not even care at all...
whether or not I checked with Chairman Choi...
regarding the terrible thing we talked about yesterday...
and how I'm feeling...
at the moment because of that?
What do you think?
What?
Do you think it'd be crazy for him to volunteer...
for the clinical trial?
I should stop him.
So Yu, I...
Thanks for making time to help me. I should go.
So Yu.
I think...
I might have to do something even more terrible...
than...
what Seo Jun is planning to do.
(Gangnam Scandal)
I told you to bring me...
every single document that you ever worked on.
But there's way too little.
I'm outside right now.
I thought you were outside. But you're here.
- Se Hyun. - I said, I'll do it myself.
He's just trying to get rid of his mom's wrongdoings.
- What? - Se Hyun, what is your plan?
I think I found a way to save my mom, myself,
and Chairman Choi.
