You...! What are you doing here?
Na-ri.
Mommy!
How have you been, Na-ri?
What do you think you're doing? Why are you here?
I came to see how Mother is doing. I heard she's unwell.
Mother, how are you?
Hey, it's Ga-eun. You came to see me?
Ga-eun, you're such a classy lady now.
Jung-hee, have you been well?
- Give that here. - Yes, ma'am.
These are the clothes I designed. For Mother and for you.
And Na-ri, this is for you.
My clothes, too? Wow, it's so pretty.
Yeah? You like it?
Yup. I love the clothes you make.
Yoo Ga-eun, what the hell?
Get out now! Get out!
Seriously, when will you fix that bad habit of hitting people?
What?
Aren't you being too rude to someone who came to see Mother?
Right, Mother?
Na-ri's mom, did you buy anything to eat? I like food better than clothes.
I'll buy a lot of food next time. I didn't have much time today.
I'm sorry I have to leave so soon.
I can't believe this. You little...!
Jung-hee, I have to go. Please take good care of Mother.
Na-ri, I'll come see you again.
Okay, Mommy.
Since you're not very smart, I'm sure you don't remember.
I'm doing exactly the same thing you did.
I told you, you reap what you sow.
What is this?
I'm not sure, but I think she was moving a painting.
I told you to watch her and you bring back these useless videos?
What have you done right these days?
The man tailing her says she's been visiting a lot of galleries.
She seems to be helping with the chairman's investments.
What?
I did hear rumors that he makes a pretty penny through paintings.
I see how it is.
We've managed to pay the urgent debts.
The rest we need to increase and fast.
The private loan interest is too high.
People in the stock exchange are saying we're beyond recovery.
You need to invest in the company and rebuild -
You think I don't know that?
You expect to pay our debt by selling clothes?
Find out what paintings Ga-eun is buying and selling.
Paintings?
Hello.
He showed interest in the paintings?
Director?
- Yes? - The chairman is waiting inside.
You should've told me you were coming.
Then there'd be no element of surprise.
You seem busy.
Capt'n Yeo told me you were sick. Why didn't you tell me?
I’m all better now. Would you like some tea?
No, thanks.
There's somewhere we need to go.
Excuse me? Where?
Come in.
Sir, the chairman sent a car for you.
He what?
He wants you to attend a meeting.
I cleared your schedule.
A meeting?
Sir, this is...
I know you want a small wedding but you have to understand.
I want to give you the absolute best.
I told my secretary to hire the country's best wedding planner.
Let's go inside.
Thank you for using our services, sir.
A close friend of mine recommended you. I'm sure I don't have to explain.
Of course, sir. Hello, Madam.
Hello.
She's a simple person who doesn't like complications.
Make sure she needn't worry about anything.
Most people with exquisite taste are the same.
She's so elegant I'm sure things will go smoothly.
Please pick out a wedding dress.
A wedding dress?
We plan the entire wedding around the feel of the wedding dress.
The flower arrangement, color and music can change depending on the dress.
That makes sense.
Is there a theme you'd like?
You're so beautiful, you can pull off being a queen or a sexy bride.
It's common courtesy to start with the planner's recommendation.
Then I'll choose a few dresses. Excuse me.
Sir, you said you'd give me time.
It's too early to plan the wedding.
Well, you won't be nursing me much longer.
I realized I should rush the wedding if I don't want to send you home.
I can stay at your house longer -
Didn't you get engaged to eventually get married?
I'm helping you since you're too busy with work to decide anything.
I've barely adjusted to the new job, and I'm not done with Park Jung-woo.
I only need your time today.
The wedding planner can take care of everything else.
I'm ready for you, Madam. This way, please.
Excuse me?
Isn't she beautiful?
Come have a seat.
Why did you bring me here?
What do you mean why? I need your help.
Let's try another dress.
Yes, sir.
I may be the groom, but I'm a bit old.
I need someone with a younger sense of style.
Take note of which dress looks the best on Ga-eun.
Were you always so cruel?
Didn't I warn you not to start a war with me?
I don't want to hurt you.
Sir.
Don't make things harder for her.
Harder for her?
Can't you see that you're only ruining her more?
As long as she stays with me.
I'll be the one who mends her or is ruined alongside her.
That's none of your business.
You won't stop at helping her? You'll really get married?
Remember how you said we were very alike?
I won't hold back anymore.
I'll do more than just watch.
- Secretary Han. - Yes, sir?
- I need you to research... - Anything, sir.
Never mind. I'll do it myself.
Chairman Maeng, you must have spies everywhere.
This is Ha Jae-bum.
I need a list of Star's shareholders and how much they possess.
What I need is the private list, not the public one.
And I need the list of directors who also worked for Sun Apparel.
That's right. Please hurry.
Lawyer Kim, this is Ha Jae-bum.
Please find out how many shares of Dream I have.
And please sell the dept. store in America as soon as you can.
That's right.
I need to liquidate my funds ASAP.
Ga-eun, you look like you're in a bad mood.
I may be marrying you, but I'm still my own person.
I don't appreciate this one-way behavior.
One-way behavior?
I won't say I don't know why you're angry and why you brought Exec. Director Ha.
But all you did was cut me down.
I don't deserve that treatment.
Is that so? I cut you down?
Then I apologize.
Thank you.
Not many people are forthright with me.
Jae-bum was one of the few.
He would look me in the eye and tell me his thoughts frankly.
You're the same.
- I'm sorry. - Don't be.
That's why I think highly of you.
You're certainly deserving of it.
And that's why I decided to marry you.
I'll take that as a compliment.
I set the wedding date for a month later.
Tell your family.
A month later?
Sis...
No need to worry.
I'll get back Dad's company within the month.
Young-eun, don't worry.
Sis, I'm on your side no matter what.
You know that, don't you?
Be strong.
Thanks, Young-eun.
What's gonna happen in a month? Can you escape the chairman?
If I can't, I can always marry him.
I was prepared to do so from the start.
I'm okay, Mom. Don't worry about me.
Whatever...
Your call has been forwarded to...
What's with her? She's still not picking up.
At least put an egg in with the instant noodles.
There's only noodles.
You fool, be grateful for even this much.
Be grateful?
We've been eating instant noodles since we got kicked out of Mi-ran's.
At this rate, my muscles will be ruined.
My muscles are my life.
My muscles need protein. Seriously.
Go out and work if you want to keep your muscles.
Think I'm feeding you like this even though I have money?
Be grateful Mi-ran used all her money to get us this room.
So stop complaining!
Alright.
But even so, we did so much for Mi-ran.
How could she do as Jung-woo wanted and kick us out without any money?
I can't eat this anymore.
You say that after you ate it all.
Mister Cho, you haven't a penny to your name?
My wallet's been empty for a long time.
Wanna see? Take a look.
If I had money, we would be eating chicken.
You idiot.
You have money to take out your tramps but none to buy me food?
Baby, let's at least eat right.
How?
The old hag isn't as sharp as she used to be.
So we'll go when Jung-woo isn't home?
Bingo.
Oh, we could totally do that.
Mi-ran.
Peek-a-boo!
What if Jung-woo catches you?
Why are you drinking?
What if you really become an alcoholic?
Remember how hard it was to rehabilitate when you were in America?
How'd you come in?
Think we don't know the passcode to the door?
Mister Cho, we're supposed to leave after eating.
Why are you drinking?
What are you doing here? Thought Jung-woo kicked y'all out.
Why are you squandering our food?
Goodness, you're all better now.
Only your legs and arms... How's your head?
I'm sure you wanted me to croak, but no such luck.
You're drinking again?
You should be quietly repenting after losing my grandson.
Yet you're drinking again?
It's not enough that you made me like this?
I can't stand this.
How dare you scoff at my words?
Goodness gracious.
Goodness, ma'am. Calm down.
Who are you? Who's this good-looking fella?
Why are you in our house?
I haven't eaten yet.
What? The painting Ga-eun wants is by the artist Lee Joong-jae?
Yes, sir. I heard it directly from the director of the gallery she goes to.
It was all over the news a few years back when it got stolen.
How is she gonna buy a stolen painting?
He said there's a secret market where such paintings can be bought.
And this painting in particular...
Yeah? The risk premium is that great?
Yes, sir. It's worth well over 5 million dollars.
But sir, I'm uneasy over the fact that it's a stolen painting.
If you're trying to dip into that pool, I strongly oppose it.
You think the chairman does this without knowing they're stolen?
You can't make big money short-term through legal means.
Find out what I have to do to buy that painting.
It's finally my chance to stick it to Ga-eun and the chairman.
Yes, sir.
It's already been an hour. You sure the secret sale is today?
I'm almost positive. I heard it from the gallery.
Almost?
You think Ga-eun found out that we're onto her and -
There she is.
Come on, let's follow her.
He's here.
Then we'll get started.
Let me remind you again, everything seen and heard here is a secret.
The highlight today.
The lost painting of Lee Joong-jae, 'Respite.'
Please begin bidding.
- $100,000! - $110,000.
- $120,000! - $130,000.
$150,000!
$200,000.
We have $200,000.
$250,000.
Jung-woo, how'd you come here?
You shouldn't keep such great secrets to yourself.
We have $250,000. Any other bids?
$300,000.
We have $300,000.
$350,000.
We have $350,000. This is exciting.
$400,000.
'Jung-woo, keep at it. Give it your best shot.'
'Ga-eun, you won't get your way this time.'
$500,000!
Why? Didn't bring enough?
Thought your company was in trouble. This from your secret fund?
That's none of your business.
We have $500,000.
Is there anyone who will bid higher?
For 'Respite,' the lost painting of Lee Joong-jae.
It's worth well over 10 times more than what you'll pay.
Here's the $500,00. Verify it.
Yes, sir.
You've had a stroke of luck.
Plenty of chairmen and big players are willing to pay big for this piece.
Given our line of work, we can't sell it out in the open.
But I'm sure you'll find a way to launder it.
You mean it'll be clean after a nice trip abroad?
I understand. I'll keep that in mind.
Look who it is.
If it isn't the mistress of Dream. You shouldn't come to such places.
Jung-woo, you knew, didn't you?
Knew? Knew what?
That I was gonna buy that painting on orders of the chairman.
You knew it and snatched it away, didn't you?
Look, Ga-eun, you're not the only one who's well informed.
You seem to be mistakenly thinking that this was meant to be yours.
This is a secret auction that's exclusive to a certain crowd.
I'm surprised to see you here, but I'll admit you seem well-informed.
Well, thank you.
But I can't believe you're still so timid.
Your timidity tripped you up this time, not me.
Or should I say the chairman is too timid?
He only prepared $400,000? The artist is turning over in his grave.
- Park Jung-woo. - You're still the same.
Indecisive, weak and timid. Still the same ol' Yoo Ga-eun.
Try to change all you want. You're still in the palm of my hand.
A huge premium, eh? I'm looking forward to it.
Kim, did you find an expert appraiser?
Bring him furtively so no one will know.
No one can know about this, you hear?
Thank you for coming so far.
It's fine. I'm sorry I'm late.
So is this true? The lost 'Respite' is back?
Yes, that's why I asked you to come.
Is this it?
Yes, please verify it.
Yes, this is it.
It's definitely Lee Joong-jae's 'Respite.'
The painting stolen 10 years ago finally resurfaces.
