(Episode 96)
What happened?
(Deposit Details)
(Kwon An Ja, 4.7 million dollars)
What on earth happened?
Why did Ms. Kwon send you 4.7 million dollars?
You're Vice President Han Jae Hyuk and Ms. Choi So Won, right?
Yes, how can we help you?
You'll have to come with us.
What is this about?
Someone reported you for embezzlement.
Please come with us to the police station.
Embezzlement?
What are you talking about? Embezzlement?
We'll just ask you some questions to see if the allegations are true.
Come with us.
(Chairman Han Tae Seok)
Sir.
- What's the matter? - Vice President Han and Ms. Choi...
have been taken to the police station for embezzlement.
What?
What is happening?
Where is Mr. Choi? Tell him to come to my office at once.
Yes, sir.
Big news. The police came and took Vice President Han...
and So Won for embezzling the company's money.
They embezzled 4.7 million dollars.
(Kang Tae Heum at Noyu)
So they were crooks?
That couple keeps on causing such disgraceful scandals.
- What? - Gosh, you scared me.
Ms. Ko, what's going on?
Ms. Ko, did something happen?
Ms. Han, Vice President Han and So Won...
have been taken to the police station for embezzlement.
What?
- Are you serious? - Those two? Embezzlement?
We don't know whether it's true, so keep it to yourselves.
Things will get out of hand if articles come out,
so don't spread rumors.
- Do you all understand? - Yes.
What on earth is happening?
There must've been a misunderstanding.
Go to the police station and find out.
Yes, I'll find out what's going on. Don't worry, sir.
Gosh.
You didn't know about the 4.7 million dollars in your account?
- Do you expect me to believe that? - I really didn't know.
Ms. Kwon An Ja said she's known you for a long time.
I did meet her a few times because of Mr. Kim,
but I don't know her well.
I met her again for the 1st time in 11 years to buy the machine.
What So Won is saying is true.
It just doesn't make any sense.
I'm the vice president of Noyu. Why would I tell such a blatant lie?
I'm their legal representative.
You can speak with me.
I like that woman, Kwon An Ja.
She sure gets her job done.
Yes. She's very different from Mr. Kim, her ex-husband.
Even for the factory arson case,
I could settle easily thanks to her.
Han Jae Hyuk. That show-off.
He totally fell for the trap.
He trusts people too easily.
I'm telling you. He still has a lot to learn.
I couldn't stand seeing him and So Won acting all entitled at work.
I feel so much better now.
Right?
Make sure Kwon An Ja keeps her lips sealed.
Yes, ma'am. I will.
We can get Jae Hyuk and So Won fired with this, right?
Yes, I think so.
We should've done this a long time ago.
I feel like I can finally breathe.
Well done.
My mom's scandal, setting up the meeting with Director Song,
and this too.
Does this mean you'll forgive me now?
You'll stop saying you want to divorce me, right?
I'll put that on hold for now.
But I still can't fully trust you.
Min Hyuk.
You should get back to work.
I'll do my best...
so that I can earn back your trust.
So please sleep at home.
I can't even face your parents because of it.
- My gosh. - What is happening?
Ms. Song.
This is insane.
Both Jae Hyuk and So Won are honest and upright. What happened?
Something definitely went wrong.
Yes, very wrong.
So Won and Jae Hyuk would never do such a thing.
Of course not. Mr. Choi went to the police station,
so don't worry too much.
Ho Jin! Ho Jin.
Mom.
What's going on with Jae Hyuk and So Won? What did they say?
What is going on? Why did the police take them?
Let's talk inside.
Yes, let's go inside have him explain what's going on.
Go on.
What? Mr. Kim's ex-wife?
Yes. You know her too, right?
She used to visit your fabric shop often.
Yes, I do know her.
She used to be naive. When did she become such a con artist?
She accumulated quite a bit of debt...
- while developing the machine. - That evil woman.
How dare she frame my daughter and son-in-law for such a thing?
Mr. Choi, how much longer will they be kept at the police station?
The police have verified their identity,
and they don't have any criminal records,
so they'll be investigated without detention.
So they won't go to jail, right?
We have to prove that they're innocent.
- If we can't... - Then what?
For that amount of money,
they'll probably be sentenced to 5 to 6 years in prison.
What... What do you mean?
That's if we can't prove that they're not guilty.
But that won't happen because I'll prove it no matter what.
Then shouldn't we catch Kwon An Ja...
and make her confess?
Yes, I'm trying to track her down.
Gosh, I'm speechless.
So Won and Jae Hyuk will probably be released...
tomorrow evening after their preliminary interrogation.
I can't believe this.
What about Ha Eun?
She'll be so anxious to suddenly not have her parents around.
Mom.
Dad.
Mom.
Dad.
Hey, Ha Eun.
- Grandpa. - Yes.
How come Mom and Dad aren't home yet?
They're not coming home today.
Goodness, watch what you say.
Why not? Why wouldn't they come home?
Oh, because of work.
Ha Eun, do you want to sleep in Grandpa's room?
Where is she going to sleep?
Gosh, seriously.
You should sleep in Ha Eun's room tonight.
- Pardon me? - Yes, good idea.
Ha Eun, Aunt Yeon Su will stay with you tonight.
Are my parents still at work?
I don't know. Just go to bed.
I can just stay here until you fall asleep, right?
My mom and dad usually read me a book.
I'm your aunt, not your mom. I don't have to read you a book.
Hey, why are you staring at me like that?
It bothers me.
Go to bed already. I'll leave if you're not going to sleep.
I'll sleep. I'm going to bed.
(Mom, Aunt Yeon Su)
(My beautiful mom and aunt)
(My mom and aunt are the most beautiful women in the whole world.)
Honey, when did you get in?
Min Hyuk.
I've been so lonely.
What's wrong?
Were you like this with that guy too?
Gosh, I'm really upset.
Min Hyuk, don't be like this.
- I'll sleep on the couch. - Min Hyuk.
Aunt Yeon Su.
Are my mom and dad not home yet?
No, not yet.
Come down and have breakfast.
Everyone left.
- Look. - Yes?
Don't you know I don't eat button mushrooms?
Oh, I didn't know. I'm sorry.
How could you not know about it after all this time? Get rid of it.
Yes, ma'am.
I don't eat button mushrooms either.
But I'll try this.
Okay.
My gosh, you two look similar and even have similar eating habits.
You two could pass for a mother and daughter.
Sorry? What did you just say?
Pardon?
Oh, I was just...
Thank you for your hard work.
It's not my pay day yet.
We no longer need you.
Ms. Hwang.
Is it because of the button mushrooms?
That was just a mistake.
Bye.
Aunt Yeon Su.
What?
I miss Mom and Dad.
Where did my mom and dad go?
How would I know?
My gosh, you two look similar and even have similar eating habits.
You two could pass for a mother and daughter.
Right.
If this girl stays here, everyone will eventually find out.
Do you want to see your mom and dad?
Yes.
Okay, let's go. I'll take you to your parents.
Really?
Go upstairs and bundle up so that you won't be cold.
Okay.
Ha Eun!
Ha Eun.
- Grandma. - Yes, my sweet pumpkin.
Where are you taking her?
She wants to see her parents, so I'm taking her to them.
- Why do you ask? - What?
Let me in.
I'll pack up her stuff and take her to my house.
Ha Eun, go get your stuff. You'll stay with me at my place.
Okay.
You witch.
Where were you going to take her this time?
Where were you planning on abandoning her?
I told you. I was going to take her to her mom and dad.
You know where they are now. You were going to take her there?
Do you expect me to believe that? That's complete nonsense.
What is the matter with you?
How are you going to handle it when karma bites you later on?
I specifically asked you to be nice to Ha Eun.
How could you treat your own child like this?
Have you lost your mind? Watch what you say.
What? Am I wrong?
Ms. Song, if everyone finds out about it,
your son and daughter will be doomed too. Don't you know that?
But you'll be doomed first.
If you do something like this one more time,
I'll do whatever it takes to see the end of you.
That evil witch needs to be punished.
- Are you all packed up? - Yes, Grandma.
Come on. Let's go.
Grandma, I'm hungry.
You're hungry?
Good girl.
My gosh, sir.
Hello, Ms. Song.
- Hello. - Grandpa.
Yes, hi. Eat up.
I came by because I was worried about Ha Eun.
I see. I'm glad you came by.
You must be very concerned.
Yes, I am.
Grandma, I'm done.
Grandpa, I'm going to Grandma's place.
Oh, okay. Get ready.
- Okay. - All right.
Oh, have you eaten yet?
Well...
Give me a moment. I'll fix you a meal quickly.
Gosh, it's okay.
No one else is home at the moment.
Give me a moment. I'll quickly boil some noodles.
Then I'll go wash my hands.
- Sure. - All right.
You probably don't have an appetite.
Noodles are the best for times like this.
Right.
You should have some too.
I ate with Ha Eun.
I see.
You must be very concerned,
but you're staying strong even in a situation like this.
I have big respect for you.
Gosh, no. I just trust So Won and Jae Hyuk.
The truth always comes out.
The police took them when they didn't do anything wrong.
I have no doubt that they'll be released soon.
Yes.
I went through all sorts of things...
while raising my kids on my own,
so I don't even bat an eye over most things.
It must've been very hard.
Frankly, yes. It was hard.
But seeing my kids grow into wonderful adults...
and feeling rewarded by it kept me going.
Although I'm still sad about not having been able...
to buy everything they wanted to eat and have because we were poor.
- Please eat. - Yes.
Dig in. The noodles will swell up.
Oh, right.
My, it's delicious.
Thank you.
My gosh.
What's going on right now?
What on earth are you doing at a stranger's house?
Why is this a stranger's house? You're my in-law.
I came to pick up Ha Eun because I was worried.
Then just pick her up and leave.
What were you doing with my husband?
What kind of question is that?
It didn't look like he'd had lunch yet,
so I boiled some noodles for him. What's wrong with that?
Why would you boil noodles for my husband? Know your place.
Know my place? You're being ridiculous.
I can't even do that for my in-law?
If you love your husband that much,
stay glued to him 24-7 and make him 3 meals a day.
You were out and about, so keep your mouth shut.
Hwa Ran.
Did Ms. Song leave?
Yes.
I have to say,
I think she's such a wonderful person.
Wonderful, my foot.
She's loud, clueless, and shameless.
And she's disrespectful to us, her in-laws.
How dare she barge in here.
Gosh, isn't she your friend?
Why are you always dying to speak ill of her?
I told you that we're not friends.
Anyway, I hope Jae Hyuk and So Won get released soon.
Ha Eun.
Cake now uses the room you and your mom used to use...
because we're renting out her old room.
I know. Mom told me.
The more money you can earn, the better.
You're so smart, my sweetie.
Just sleep in my room tonight.
Okay. When will Mom come home?
Your mom? She's working at the moment.
She'll call you when she's not so busy.
What about Uncle Ho Jin?
He's busy too.
It's good to see you, kiddo!
Grandma Cake!
I'm sorry I moved into your room.
Do you want to sleep beside me in my room tonight?
No, I'll sleep in Grandma's room.
So you're rejecting me?
I like you, Grandma Cake.
But I haven't seen my grandma in so long.
Okay, fine.
What do you want for dinner, Cake? Ha Eun, what do you want?
You're probably not in the mood to cook, so let's just order in.
We're not ordering in.
Had it depended on my mood, I would've already starved to death.
We must eat well to survive even if war breaks out.
You're such a strong woman.
Then I'd love squid stew. Make it spicy, please.
All right.
Grandma, I want stir-fried radish.
You've been craving it? Okay, I'll make it for you.
Give me a few minutes.
Kiddo, you really don't want to sleep beside me tonight?
- No. - Gosh.
Then can you stay one more night?
Why not?
Where were you? Tae Seok was home alone.
Dan Shil fixed him lunch because of you.
I didn't know Father would be home so early.
Where's the housekeeper? I haven't seen her all day.
She quit.
Why all of a sudden?
Did she hurt her arm again?
No, I told her that we no longer need her.
But why?
Many things about her got on my nerves.
Then you should've told me first.
Who told you that you could just fire her?
I'm sorry.
Gosh.
Welcome home, guys.
Hey.
You must be exhausted.
What is going on?
I'm sorry for causing you concern, Father.
We really didn't do it. We were clearly set up.
But who'd do such a thing?
We'll find out once the investigation begins.
Mom, is Ha Eun asleep?
I'm okay. I really am.
Yes, good night. Bye.
Your mother must be very worried.
Yes, she is.
That must've been so stressful for you. You did well though.
You too.
Do you think Yeon Su did this?
The scale is too big for her to have planned it on her own.
I'm sure Min Hyuk, Director Park, and Mother were involved as well.
The VP embezzled the company's money?
It's crazy.
Ms. Jang's scandal and now the embezzlement allegations.
The company has been suffering significant losses.
Sir, are you just going to wait and see what happens?
The police are investigating it, so let's wait.
I heard Ms. Choi's family is struggling financially.
Maybe that's why they did this.
He embezzled the company's money...
for his wife's family?
That is insane.
Hey.
Watch what you say. We don't even know if it's true or not.
So Won!
That must've been really stressful.
You look weary.
Is it true that you embezzled the company's money?
No, the VP and I would never do such a thing.
Someone set us up.
Yes, I'm sure. You two would never do something like that.
Then what's going to happen now?
The police will continue to investigate us without detaining us.
(Vice President Han Jae Hyuk)
Come in.
I just spoke to Mr. Kim on the phone.
What did he say?
He said Ms. Kwon makes his blood boil.
He didn't even want to talk about her.
And he can't come back to Korea at the moment.
Then when can he come back?
He's not sure.
He's the only person who can persuade Ms. Kwon.
I'll try contacting him again.
Okay.
Oh, Mr. Seo.
Yes, hello.
Why are you always so busy? I rarely see you.
Is everything okay with the room?
Yes, everything's good.
Well, actually...
Yes, what is it? Just say it.
May I ask you to take care of my laundry for me?
Gosh, that's nothing.
Leave them outside. I'll wash them and put them in front of your door.
Okay, thank you.
No problem.
Mr. Kim can't return to Korea at the moment.
I know. I spoke to him again too, and he said he can't help us.
Ho Jin is also looking for Ms. Kwon,
but no one knows where she is.
I'm trying to track her down as well, so don't worry too much.
Have you heard the news?
There will be an emergency board meeting soon.
An emergency board meeting?
Yes, they'll discuss...
the dismissal of the VP.
What?
It's probably because of the police investigation...
due to the embezzlement allegations.
We must make Vice President Han step down at the board meeting.
Yes, we should.
I'll take over his position.
How are the board members reacting?
They'll all side with us.
The person you're trying to reach is unavailable at the moment.
Please leave a message after the tone.
Ms. Kwon, answer your phone. Please?
Why are you doing this to us?
If you keep doing this, I'll have to take legal action.
I won't let this go unpunished.
The person you're trying to reach is unavailable at the moment.
Please leave a message after the tone.
Mr. Kim, I know you're still keeping in touch with Ms. Kwon.
Help me, please?
Please, I beg you.
So Won.
All the board members are in the meeting room now.
Vice President Han should be dismissed from his position.
Embezzlement? It's absolutely crazy.
I agree.
Sir, we can't go easy on him just because he's your son.
We must set a deterrent example.
All the board members and even our shareholders are concerned.
So Won and I didn't do anything we should be ashamed of.
Someone set us up.
Do you have evidence?
No, not yet.
But we'll find some evidence soon.
Forget it, then. We don't need to listen to you.
Mr. Gong!
I'm aware of all your achievements and contributions to the company,
including the development of the new fabric.
However, I was hugely disappointed in you because of this.
Mr. Song, I really didn't do anything wrong.
Just saying that can't change anything.
Raise your hand if you think he should be dismissed...
from his position.
It was all me.
I told Ms. Kwon to send 4.7 million dollars to my account.
The VP didn't know anything.
What?
- What? - What's going on?
(Bad Love)
What on earth was So Won thinking when she embezzled the money?
We should make the police detain her,
so we know for a fact that she'll go to jail. Choi So Won.
Why do you have to put up with this?
I'm okay, so just take good care of Ha Eun for me.
- What are you doing here? - It's not like I wanted to be here.
I'm leaving.
Don't make me do things like this ever again. It's so pathetic.
What are you doing?
Do you want to play a game?
Who's the best liar?
I swear, no one can beat this woman.
