You seem to be shocked.
Let's go to my office and take our time to discuss this.
- Escort her. - Yes, sir.
What are you doing?
Let go. I didn't do it! Let go!
Let go of me!
Big news! It's huge!
What is it this time?
Director Joo was arrested for embezzling funds...
from the foundation.
- What? - What? No way.
You must have misheard it.
It's true.
There's an article online.
She's starting to trend too.
What is wrong with this company?
The chairman is in a coma, and his wife embezzled funds?
It wasn't me.
We have all this solid evidence.
Stop denying it.
Don't waste your energy. Confess.
I know nothing about it.
Here. Here. Here.
We have your signature right here.
You signed everything. Do you think denying it now will help?
I really know nothing.
I want my lawyer.
Did you say anything else to the prosecutor?
- No, nothing. - Good.
If they keep asking you questions,
keep saying you don't know.
Don't talk to them without me present.
Okay.
- Mr. Min. May I use your phone? - Yes?
Yes. I'll do that.
Mr. Park. Have you made a decision?
You want me to take the fall alone?
I can't do that.
You can't avoid being investigated either.
So what would be best for your future?
Think about it.
To be completely blunt,
Director Joo took much more than I did.
What I took was chump change.
She said if this works out,
she will compensate you handsomely.
No. I will pay only for the crime that I committed.
If I take the fall for it all and go to prison, what about my family?
I have to protect my family too.
How could I let Tae Poong trick me?
I won't forgive him.
I'll get out of here and kill him.
But how do I get out?
It's time to eat.
Excuse me.
Hey.
Hey. Hey.
(Restricted Area)
Han Yoo Ra. What are you doing here?
(Seoyeon Medical Center)
Woo Suk.
You moved your finger yesterday...
to tell us to have hope, right?
Woo Suk.
Please wake up.
Why are you lying here like this?
The family is a mess right now.
Even Hwa Yun was arrested.
Mi Ri. Don't worry too much.
He'll wake up soon.
Hello, Sang Tae.
You can't come home tonight?
Okay. Got it.
Was that Sang Tae?
Yes. He was recently reinstated in the police department.
He called to say he's too busy and won't be coming home.
Oh, he was reinstated.
That means he cleared his name, right?
What a relief.
Now, we just need Woo Suk to wake up.
Woo Suk.
What is it?
He just moved two fingers.
Where? Where?
They're not moving. Are you sure he moved them?
Yes, he did.
Woo Suk. Soo Hee. He must be waking up.
He must be fighting.
Woo Suk. Be strong.
Woo Suk.
We did some digging, and we see...
that your daughter is studying at a fashion school in New York,
and is set to join DL's design team when she graduates.
What a solid future.
But that solid future...
can only be enjoyed if she's healthy.
What... What are you trying to do?
You never know with life.
If you want to see your daughter...
that you adore so much,
you should know what you must do.
Welcome home.
Mr. Park said he did it all,
so the case against you will be dropped.
Are you sure you hid the ledger?
How did the prosecutor get it?
I'm not sure, but I think someone followed me.
Mr. Min said the main reason they got the search warrant...
was because of the land purchase contract from five years ago...
for the town for the disabled.
Didn't Lee Kyung Hye have it?
Exactly.
We couldn't find it when we looked. Why did it surface now?
Find out how the prosecutor got a hold of that document.
As quickly as possible.
Yes, ma'am.
Hi, Sung Chul. What?
Joo Hwa Yun was released?
Okay.
Joo Hwa Yun.
You'll make Mr. Park your scapegoat.
You despicable...
Today is cleaning day,
so no one can go out.
Hey, Sook Ja. Let me go, please?
I share a room with Yoo Myung. He can just clean, right?
I have to work at the restaurant.
Fine. You're excused.
Go make money.
Everyone else has to stay home.
I can't stay either.
I have two deliveries today.
You do?
Okay, then.
Well. I'll clean with Yoo Jung and Yoo Myung.
That's not right. Then we shouldn't clean his room.
You punk. You brat.
Dad's going out to make money.
Mom, I worked all night for three days to make money too.
I'll clean Dad's room. Happy now?
You can go, okay?
My gosh! My daughter is the only one...
who cares about me.
Yoo Myung. You know that I'm allergic to dust, right?
Clean every nook and cranny, okay?
- Fine. - Clean well.
There's so much to put away in here.
How old is this?
We must've brought this box of random stuff when we moved.
What? This is my old phone.
It was here.
That's right. It should have Tae Poong's old pictures.
That's right.
This was in here.
This man.
It's Mr. Koo.
The man in the video was Mr. Koo.
This proves he was there and not at the cafe.
Will this prove that Joo Hwa Yun is the culprit?
No. This is circumstantial evidence.
We need direct evidence.
Then should I summon Mr. Koo and interrogate him?
No. She'll weasel out of it again if we do that.
Just like with the corruption case.
We need direct evidence that Joo Hwa Yun did it.
You showed this video to the police...
five years ago as well, right?
Yes.
Then why is it not in the evidence log?
It was at first, but I think it was removed...
once Choi Chang Bum was bought.
Chang Bum. That jerk.
I have to find him quickly.
We can't get Kang Ahn Suk, so we have to get Chang Bum.
Yes, we should.
What will happen to Joo Hwa Yun?
Will she still be a candidate for chairman?
Mr. Park took the fall for the corruption,
but a rumor spread internally that she was involved,
so she lost credibility.
It'll be hard for her to keep pushing for it.
Ma'am.
I think you should forfeit your nomination.
What? Why should I?
The consensus among the executives is not too favorable...
for you right now.
Rather than causing trouble,
why don't you nominate Mr. Cha Seo Joon instead?
Seo Joon?
Wake up. I need to talk to you.
What? What is it?
I was summoned by a prosecutor. Weren't you even worried?
I'm sure you took care of it.
What?
See? You got yourself out of it.
Even if I don't worry, you use your influence high up to get out.
So why should I worry?
Seo Joon. You...
What is it?
Just say it and go.
We've decided to dismiss your father.
He won't be the chairman anymore.
So you should take his place as chairman.
What do you mean?
He can continue after he wakes up.
The vice president is doing a good job filling in.
We can wait for Father to wake up. Why would we dismiss him?
We don't know when that will be.
And there are many issues with Vice President Choi.
The executives oppose him filling in.
That's why they agreed to dismiss your father.
I don't want to be chairman.
Seo Joon. Your father's company will fail in the blink of an eye.
Will you just watch it happen?
Your father worked his whole life for DL.
Will you watch it crumble to the ground?
You have to become chairman.
You must protect Father's company.
And I didn't want to say this,
but Yoo Jung is already teaming up with Vice President Choi.
What?
What do you mean?
What else?
Yoo Jung plans to fight you.
She plans to take a slice of the pie if your dad wakes up...
at some point later.
Delivery.
It's here.
- You ordered tonkatsu, right? - Yes.
We made it today. It'll be crunchy and delicious...
as if it were fried just now.
- Enjoy. - Thank you.
It's so good, you'll forget about the other person.
Thank you.
- Be good to each other. - Okay.
That looks so good. I want some too.
- Bye. - Bye.
This is delicious.
The meat is super thick.
Really?
Mine is really good too. Try some.
Look at the cheese. There's so much.
Try it.
This is good too.
Really?
We can't go on dates outside because of my situation.
I'm sorry.
Once things are settled, I'll take you somewhere nice.
Okay.
This is an important time for Yoo Myung.
The next project after this one...
is also a romantic comedy.
If another scandal gets out about him seeing you,
it may kill his career.
You understand what I'm saying, don't you?
Should we watch a movie once we're done eating?
Sure. Let's do everything you want to do today.
Really? You mean it? I'll do everything I want, then.
We'll watch a movie, and then... What should we do afterward?
What is it?
You need to persuade Seo Joon.
About what?
They've decided to dismiss Woo Suk.
A shareholders' meeting will be held soon.
At this rate, we'll lose DL to a third party.
What?
What happens then?
What about Seo Joon? What does he say?
I told him to step in and run for chairman,
but he's too disappointed in me and won't listen to anything I say.
Why did you do such a terrible thing 31 years ago?
To be honest, it's hard for me to look at you too.
Imagine how he must feel.
Regardless, we must protect DL.
We can't tell Woo Suk that we lost the company when he wakes up.
You'll talk to Seo Joon, won't you?
Are you eating?
You look terrible.
Why are you here?
Seo Joon. I heard you refused to run for chairman.
Why?
You entered into a contract marriage with Yoo Ra...
to protect this company.
Will you watch someone else take control?
If someone outside of our family becomes chairman,
the company may fall apart.
You know how many people work for the company.
Both Woo Suk and you worked so hard...
to build this company.
You can't let it fall apart.
Can't you protect it for Woo Suk's sake?
I heard you applied for candidacy. You did the right thing.
There's a lot to do before the shareholders' meeting,
so you have to get your act together.
Fine.
How many shares do we have?
Well, between the three of us, we have about 21 percent.
Our people own about 17 percent.
38 percent.
If we take out the shares of people who said they can't attend,
we need at least 13 percent more to dismiss him.
You and I have to meet them and win them over.
Okay.
I'm so glad you're back.
I feel secure now.
Seo Joon is running for chairman?
That means he agrees to dismissing the chairman.
I think Joo Hwa Yun convinced him.
It's bad enough that they're voting to dismiss him.
What do we do now?
We have to bring more people to our side to prevent it.
We're not trying to push out Chairman Cha.
We're letting Seo Joon protect the company until he returns.
You've worked with Woo Suk for a very long time.
You should continue to work with us.
If you run the company as per Chairman Cha's vision,
I'll join you.
Thank you.
I met with some shareholders to try to stop the dismissal,
but it's tough.
Everyone seems to have decided to go with Mr. Cha.
I think it's because the chairman hasn't made big improvements.
The chairman will wake up soon.
I have faith in that too.
But I think it'll be difficult to win the shareholders over...
to our side.
Then we'll have to stop it before his dismissal...
is confirmed.
That sounds good.
From what I found out,
they're short three percent as well to get it passed.
They'll check the shareholders list and try to persuade someone...
who has that many shares.
We'll have to find them and persuade them first.
You must be tired from meeting all those shareholders.
No. It's something I must do for the company.
We need just three percent more, right?
Yes. Here's the shareholders list.
The first page has the people we won over, so start from page two.
Han Yoo Ra?
Yoo Ra has three percent of shares?
Yes. She bought them as soon we got married.
Should we contact her too?
No. You're divorced, so why?
Let's find someone else.
Fine.
Mom. Do you know someone named Kim Bong Wan?
He also holds three percent.
"Kim Bong Wan"?
He's your dad's father's friend.
Really?
Yoo Ra has three percent too.
What if she sides with Director Joo?
I doubt it.
She's the one who locked her up in a mental hospital.
Yoo Ra wouldn't help her that readily.
And Joo Hwa Yun won't let her out that easily either.
True. You're right.
Wait. This person Kim Bong Wan also owns three percent.
"Kim Bong Wan"? Who's that?
Hold on.
Hello, Vice President Choi. Do you know Kim Bong Wan?
Not long after I came down from the north,
I met your grandfather.
We became close, and I found out...
that your family was active in the independence movement.
So when he founded the company, I helped him a little.
When it became successful,
he gave me that three percent to show his appreciation.
I see.
Sir. Please help us...
so that Seo Joon can carry out Father's wishes.
Of course, I'll support his grandson carry out his grandfather's wishes.
But... Is Chairman Cha doing...
that poorly?
- Well... - Yes.
It's very bad.
They say he most likely won't wake up.
That's why we need your help desperately.
If you help us, we'll never forget it.
Sure.
Also,
there are people at the company trying to stir up trouble.
They may come see you.
Please be stern about where you stand.
We have his shares, so we're good now.
You did well.
Mom. But...
why did you say that about Dad's condition?
He may wake up soon.
Why are you two here?
For the same reason as you.
You're too late.
He already made up his mind.
Let's go.
See? I was right...
about Yoo Jung.
Who is it?
Hello. You're Chairman Kim Bong Wan, correct?
We're here from DL.
We need to talk to you.
I have nothing to talk to you about. Please leave.
I think Joo Hwa Yun already told him...
not to talk to us.
What do we do?
We'll have to find a way.
I'll talk to Seo Joon first.
I'll think of a way to persuade Chairman Kim.
You said you found documents on him, right?
Yes. I have them at home.
Okay.
Mr. Cha. Will you really vote to dismiss the chairman?
Why? Can't I?
The chairman moved his fingers. He'll wake up soon.
He can wake up.
- So? - What do you mean, "So?"
Isn't that why you're opposed?
So you can fill your pockets through Vice President Choi...
before my father wakes up?
Mr. Cha.
If not, do you plan to stick by Yoo Jung's side and ride...
on her coattails now that she's a member of the DL family?
Hey, you. Seo Joon.
I have nothing more to hear from you.
If you're done talking, please leave.
Yoo Jung, drink this.
Okay. Thank you.
What are you working on?
His shares are very important for this shareholders' meeting,
but we haven't won him over yet.
So I'm looking for a way to turn him to our side.
Oh my.
Gosh. He must've been a refugee.
Yes. He's from Hwanghae-do.
I see.
He misses his mom's cooking.
What? What's "dwebijitang"?
Dwebijitang?
It's ground soybean stew with pork ribs.
Do you know what this is?
Back when I had the gukbap place in Chuncheon,
someone I was close to made it well and taught me.
Really?
Okay.
So this is dwebijitang.
We just have to let it boil for a while.
It's flavorful and absolutely delicious.
And it's very nutritious.
I hope he likes it.
Mom. Thank you so much.
I'm so glad I have you.
I'm also very happy that I could help my daughter.
You can't just wait outside indefinitely.
You were making me feel bad.
It's as if you were punishing me.
I'm sorry.
There was something I really wanted to give you.
What is this?
I read your interview.
You said you missed home on cold days like these.
You said you wanted dwebijitang, didn't you?
What?
You made this yourself?
My mother made it.
I'm sure it can't taste like your mother's,
but we made it with a lot of care.
Vice President Choi worked with Chairman Cha...
and remained on his side for over 30 years.
Of course, Mr. Cha Seo Joon will do a good job too,
but I think Vice President Choi, who has been working with him...
as a team would know the chairman's wishes better.
Still, wouldn't the son know...
what his father wants better than Vice President Choi?
The son would cherish the company more than a third party,
and will lead it better.
If the company manager suddenly changes,
it may cause confusion and instability.
And the company will need time to get reestablished.
Furthermore, Chairman Cha will wake up soon.
He moved his fingers several times a few days ago.
Is that true?
I heard he had no hope.
That's not true. He's recovering.
We're sure he'll recover very soon.
So please, help us.
Help us protect the company.
I'm begging you.
What? Chairman Kim changed his mind?
Yes. He just called.
Why?
According to his personal assistant,
he changed his mind after Han Yoo Jung stopped by.
Yoo Jung.
How dare you get in Seo Joon's way?
What will you do now?
Should we work on other shareholders?
We don't have time.
The remaining shareholders are all small shareholders.
When will we get three percent in that short time?
What will you do then?
Yoo Ra.
Yes, Mother.
You're not "Mother" anymore.
Since Seo Joon and I are divorced,
do I call you Director Joo or Hwa Yun?
My gosh. Why are you acting so refined?
We know each other's true colors.
What? What is it?
Do you want something from me?
I'll be straightforward.
Give me the shares...
that you hold.
Why?
Do you need my shares to dismiss Father?
(A Man in a Veil)
What will you do with Yoo Ra?
I'll put her back in the hospital.
Who knows what else...
that venomous snake will threaten me with?
I think he's really awake now.
It's me, Ji Sook.
Do you recognize me?
Joo Hwa Yun is a scary woman.
The most important thing is to find out the chairman's condition.
I will make Seo Joon chairman today.
You haven't done anything for him.
Are you telling me to induce a coma?
How long will you remain an assistant professor?
