(Episode 77)
Why are you standing so close to them?
What are you hiding?
I'm not hiding anything.
I was just checking the time.
Give me your phone.
What?
What do you think you're doing?
Your mother is stiff from being trapped in her room,
so I told her to give her a massage.
Do I need your permission for that, too?
You're treating us like we're already dead.
Don't be angry.
That isn't what she meant.
You get out too!
I asked you to give her a massage,
and you kept checking your phone and did it half-heartedly.
Get out of my face.
So hand over the management rights.
Look how much our frail mother is suffering...
because of you, Father.
I thought my heart was going to stop.
I should delete my call records just in case.
Ms. Cho.
If you hurt my grandparents in any way,
I will not forgive you.
Mother, what do we do? Soo Ho's here.
Soo Ho's here with the police!
Keep it down.
Go upstairs.
May I help you?
We received a report...
that Park Soon Tae and his wife...
have been unreachable since yesterday.
Please let us search your house.
They went to a vacation house in the suburbs.
They aren't here, so please leave.
I checked all the vacation houses, but they weren't there.
I know they're in here.
Your cooperation will be appreciated.
Esther clearly said...
Soo Ho was here, right?
Our grandson Soo Ho? Soo Ho is here?
That's right.
Calm down.
We don't know what Ae Ra may pull next.
Do you have a search warrant?
The Act on the Performance of Duties by Police Officers...
grants us the authority to investigate...
upon the discretion of the police...
in the interest of preventing and ceasing criminal acts.
This man was fired from our company for embezzling company funds.
He's bitter and making ridiculous accusations.
How could you let him manipulate you?
You and Nam Joon framed me.
I'm positive Chairman Park and his wife are inside.
We must save them.
We'll just take a look around.
I said no.
How dare you?
Bring a search warrant.
The fact that you're so adamant about stopping us...
means you're hiding something.
Move.
Let go!
Mr. Chairman! Grandmother!
It really is Dr. Lee.
Soo Ho.
It's our eldest grandson's voice.
We can't just sit here like this.
Open up!
No, sir.
You can't go out.
Hey. Get out of my way!
You cannot go outside.
It's Ms. Cho's orders.
Why you little ingrates!
Don't bother.
They're already on Ae Ra's side.
They wouldn't listen to us.
They may hurt our eldest grandson.
What if they hurt Soo Ho?
Move!
I am completely offended by this.
You believe a criminal...
and insist on barging into the Aura family's house?
Then...
which vacation house are they at?
I can't say in front of this dangerous man.
They went to rest,
so they even turned off their phones.
Did you have to go this far?
Did you want to take over Aura so badly,
that you locked up your elderly parents-in-law?
Shut your mouth.
Move. Move!
Mr. Chairman! Grandmother!
Mr. Chairman!
What are you doing in front of my house?
Nam Joon.
Your evil knows no end.
You turned me into a Do Kyung...
and stole my life for five whole years,
and now, you want...
claim my place as the eldest grandson?
And because you were about to get caught,
you locked up Chairman Park and Grandmother?
Get lost.
So?
Are you happy?
I said to get lost.
Just live your own life right...
instead of coveting someone else's life.
Don't try to claim the life you fell upon thanks to your biology,
and just live your life as Lee Soo Ho.
My gosh.
My dear Soo Ho.
Where's our eldest grandson?
You wicked...
Father, Mother wants to see Soo Ho so badly.
You should let her.
Just sign a power of attorney...
transferring all your rights to Nam Joon, and this will all be over.
Dream on!
Over my dead body.
I will not give Aura to disgusting people like you.
I submitted the DNA report from the police,
and I registered Nam Joon as our family.
What? What does she mean?
Legally,
I will be your eldest grandson.
As the sole heir of this family,
I have the right to inherit Aura.
What...
We don't have time...
to just wait for Father to sign the power of attorney.
We need to persuade the large shareholders...
and secure votes at the shareholders meeting.
That's the only way you'll become chairman.
We can't give up on the power of attorney.
I need that to safely become the next chairman.
No, don't do it.
You must stop Nam Joon from getting on our family registry.
Our Soo Ho... Our eldest grandson is alive and well.
How could that evil monster...
be our eldest grandson?
My gosh.
Escort her nicely.
- What... - Yes, sir.
Hey, hey, hey! What are you doing?
Where are you taking her?
I'm just trying to help you...
by lessening your stress.
You must sign the power of attorney...
if you want to see her again.
Mr. Chairman.
Don't worry about me.
You cannot give in.
Take her away.
- Yes, sir. - Mr. Chairman.
Hey!
Look here.
I treated you the most humanely...
in this household.
I gave you love and embraced you.
How could you do this to me?
Your stubbornness...
breaks my heart too.
Think about Big Madam.
What was that?
They'll end up doing that to Do Ri and me, too.
Make some excuse...
to come outside right now.
Is he stupid?
Mother is watching me like a hawk.
Are you stupid?
I was almost caught already. Stop this.
What if I get caught?
You need me in there to give you information.
What happened to Grandmother and Grandfather after I went?
You poured gasoline on a fire.
Mother and Nam Joon are frantic...
about getting Grandfather to sign a power of attorney over his shares.
They're using Grandmother as collateral to threaten him.
Cho Ae Ra, Kim Nam Joon.
What should I do?
Plus, the two of them...
are planning to meet with large shareholders.
Large shareholders?
I need to get back.
I said I was going to Do Ri's after school program.
You need to go too.
Do Ri may tell Mother by mistake if he sees you.
Hold on.
Don't call, okay?
I'll call you when I can.
There's a good chance Mother will check my phone.
Hurry up.
Give this to him, please.
Soo Ho!
They are definitely in the house,
but I couldn't go in.
Are they okay?
For now.
But Ms. Cho and Nam Joon...
are trying to get Grandfather's power of attorney...
to officially make Nam Joon chairman...
at the next shareholders meeting.
What?
They want to swallow that large corporation whole,
is that it?
I'm sure Father will refuse to sign...
that power of attorney.
Which means...
Grandfather, I'm sorry.
I couldn't bring you food because of Mother.
But here, at least take this.
I don't need that.
Do you know where your Grandmother went?
She's in the annex. Don't worry.
I'll take good care of her.
And...
Soo Ho asked me to give you this.
He did?
I have the vice chairman with me, so don't worry.
We'll come for you soon.
Please...
hang in there.
If you have a message for him,
give me a note when I come in with your pills.
I'll be the pigeon carrying messages...
between you and Soo Ho.
And you can't sign the power of attorney.
Once Nam Joon takes over the company,
Do Ri will be in danger too.
They can claim the chairman is incompetent?
That's right.
Soo Ho, what does that mean?
They can get a dementia diagnosis for Chairman Park...
and strip him of his voting rights.
And another route is...
obtaining shares through large shareholders.
Yes, that's right.
Esther said that...
they're trying to win over large shareholders.
If they want to oppose Father, the largest shareholder,
Ae Ra's and Nam Joon's shares are insufficient.
They'll try to persuade large shareholders and buy their shares...
or bring them to their side...
to use those votes at the shareholders meeting.
Are any of the large shareholders who may be swayed?
The second largest shareholder is a foreign company.
The third is...
Chairman Jung,
the most powerful loan shark they call "Namdaemun's Raccoon."
I'm sure they'll go after Chairman Jung.
Then we need to come up with a plan of our own.
A way to arrest Cho Ae Ra and Nam Joon...
at the shareholders meeting.
She stole my shares...
while I was at the hospital.
I have 10,000 shares that Grandfather recently gave me,
but that isn't nearly enough.
They say opportunities lie in every crisis.
We may not have shares,
but I'm sure there is a way...
we can beat them.
This is where Chairman Jung, the Godfather of Loan Sharks, live?
Let's go in.
It's been a while. How have you been, Chairman Jung?
Same old same old.
I enjoy watching my stocks go up in value thanks to Aura Bio.
Perhaps this is all thanks to you running the company so well.
You are too kind.
We came to ask you for an earnest favor.
Please sell your shares...
of Aura to me.
Ms. Cho.
I misjudged you.
Didn't I just say I enjoy watching my Aura stock go up In value?
We'll double that enjoyment.
We'll give you double the fair market value.
Shut it.
I won't sell them, so leave.
Chairman Jung.
They went in here and left shortly after...
a brief conversation.
The place belongs to Jung Man Ho.
It's as we expected.
They went after the large shareholder Chairman Jung.
He is infamous for his obsession with money.
Money dictates everything he does.
He lends out hundreds of millions of dollars,
but he won't turn on this boiler in the winter...
and survives the summer with a single fan.
However...
He loves art.
Correct.
Particularly Kim Chung Kyu. He loses his mind over his work.
Then Nam Joon...
will probably use that.
This is a part of Kim Chung Kyu's "Cloud Crocks" series.
In 1987,
it was sold for 250,000 dollars at an auction in New York.
The present value is 600,000 dollars.
600,000 dollars?
It's equivalent to the value of Chairman Jung's shares that we want.
I'm sure if we offer to exchange them for this painting,
it'll pique his interest.
Let's do it.
What's wrong?
I wanted to display this at the 20th-anniversary exhibit...
that's coming up.
My father left it to me.
Let's try to convince the chairman one last time.
Father, why don't we have tea together?
I brought buckwheat tea just for you.
It will sooth the rage within you,
so it will calm you down.
Are you mocking me?
I'm worried about you too, but more so about Mother.
She's getting weaker by the day.
I don't know if it's safe to leave her like that.
You need to decide more quickly.
Hey. Are you trying to make a deal with me...
using your mother's life as collateral?
I can never...
give you Aura Group.
I will never give it to you.
Get out of my face!
If that's how you feel, you leave me no choice.
I can't help you...
even if you regret it later.
I gave you a chance.
He's so stubborn.
This is Cho Ae Ra.
I happened to obtain one of...
Kim Chung Kyu's "Cloud Crocks".
Okay.
You want to entice me with "Cloud Crocks".
I like it.
That means you've been looking into me.
It's nice having young people take an interest in me.
Then will you exchange Aura shares for it?
Naturally, I will.
However,
you know,
I hate giving away even this instant coffee for free.
But I've met insolent jerks...
who knew I liked art...
and tried to scam me with fakes.
We know how you are.
We wouldn't dare give you a forgery.
I'm the director of Aura Art Center.
So?
Anyone who is cornered is bound to pull a scam.
I hear Aura is holding a shareholders meeting.
It's crunch time for you.
How about we make the deal after the meeting?
We can't transfer shares...
immediately before a shareholders meeting anyway.
I'll take the physical stock first.
Give me the stock,
and vote with us...
during the meeting.
And if by chance the painting is a forgery,
I'll repay you double.
Double? That would make it 1.2 million dollars.
Are you sure?
Of course.
It's authentic, so it is not a problem.
As long as you don't change your mind...
about exchanging your Aura shares for it.
Write up the contract.
Come on, now.
Be careful with it.
The painting is here.
Check which one it is.
(Check which one it is.)
What did she say?
It's impossible because Ms. Cho and Nam Joon are home.
She sneaked around everywhere while she was here.
Why is she so well-behaved there?
Tell her to check even if she gets caught.
No, no. Esther can't get caught.
Thanks to her,
we're updated on how the chairman and his wife are doing.
What should we do?
I have an idea.
(Artwork Sales Agreement)
(If it is a forgery, Aura Group will pay double the payment received.)
- Soo Ho? Why are you calling me... - It's me.
I'll give you and Nam Joon a chance to turn yourself in.
Where are you? Let's talk in person.
You locked me up and tried to harm me.
Pay for your crime. If you don't,
I'll go to the police myself and report you and Nam Joon.
You must not know yet, but you can't go to the police.
You're wanted for embezzling company funds.
What?
So let's talk in person.
I'll find a way...
for you to survive.
I don't need it.
If I can have you and Nam Joon locked up,
I'm fine going to jail myself.
Why would you go to jail?
They're the ones who should go to jail.
San Ha, stop him!
Mom!
Nam Joon.
Gang Chul is at San Ha's house.
He's about to report us to the police.
We need to stop him.
I'll go look for the painting.
Do you think you can find it by tomorrow?
It's a famous painting, so there are many forgeries.
It won't be hard.
I'll have Esther help me.
Be careful, Soo Ho.
I will.
And Ms. Cho won't bring...
just Nam Joon with her.
Make sure to call the police.
San Dal. We can call him.
Don't worry about us.
I'll stop them.
Yes.
- Don't worry, and go. - That's right.
- I'll be back soon. - Okay.
Open it.
Who are you people?
Why are you kicking someone else's gate?
We have a bell!
My husband is here, right? Tell him to come out.
We hid him somewhere so you never find him,
so give it up and leave!
Stay out of our family matters.
Get out of my way.
It's not just your family matters,
it's our in-laws' matters.
In-laws?
We won't give you the vice chairman, so leave.
San Ha.
Tell your family to move before they get hurt. Now.
Nam Joon.
Who are you to threaten us?
You're the ones who need to get out of our house!
- Search the place. - Yes, ma'am.
- No. - No!
Seul Ha! Call the police!
- Hurry! Call the cops! - Hello?
- Police? - Hurry!
We need...
You people! You are trespassing!
Hey! What...
You just trespassed.
If you do not leave right now, you may be sentenced...
to up to three years in prison and fined up to 5,000 dollars.
You must be mistaken.
We came to catch a criminal.
We heard someone who embezzled from Aura was here.
Our family is the only ones here.
Whom are you referring to?
They're gone.
You can come back now.
- Be careful. - We will.
(Geumsang Art Transport)
What about the painting?
It just left.
Be careful with it.
It is very valuable.
Hurry up.
To Chairman Jung, time is money.
I checked it yesterday.
It is authentic.
I was sad because the "Cloud Crocks" series...
was the only one I lacked from Kim Chung Kyu's works.
Will I finally own one?
Congratulations.
Now, we just need your seal on this.
What's the rush?
I need to check whether or not it's authentic.
Wait a little. Someone's coming now.
We prefer being thorough as well.
We'll wait.
(Esther)
It seems urgent. Pick up.
Please excuse me for a minute.
What's wrong with you?
How could you send that picture? What if someone saw?
I'm sorry, but I'm panicking.
Grandmother fainted.
Call the doctor.
Wait, Mother!
Is it okay to call the doctor over?
He's an outsider.
What if Grandmother wakes up...
and says things to him?
Keep the doctor there until I get home.
Grandmother is moving!
Mother, she's waking up.
I may not need to call...
I need to go.
She has no idea how important this is.
She's utterly useless.
What's taking the appraiser so long?
He was almost here,
but he was in a fender bender out front.
He says he'll be here once that's resolved.
Sorry about this.
You'll have to wait a little.
Okay.
I'm confident about what we brought.
You want me to check it later?
What if...
it isn't authentic?
You have nothing to lose.
Even if the painting is a forgery,
you'd get double the shares.
That's the term of the deal, is it not?
(Aura Group Kim Nam Joon, Jung Man Ho)
That's 600,000-dollars' worth of Aura Produce.
Thank you.
Gosh.
My apologies, sir.
Okay. I'll begin the appraisal now.
This...
What's wrong?
Chairman Jung,
this is a forgery.
How dare you deceive me?
We swiped the original.
I'm sure...
they're dumbfounded now that they have a forgery.
Good work.
They couldn't get the shares, and they lost the painting,
so it'll be a big blow to them.
Let's proceed to the next step.
The next step to destroying Nam Joon and Cho Ae Ra,
and saving Grandmother and Grandfather.
