(Episode 20)
You don't need to be polite to me, so you should go.
Then I'll get going.
Why did you call me here?
I'm sorry.
Something came up. Let's talk another time.
Why did you come here?
Weren't you fired?
I'm here to get my things.
Your things? How do we know it's yours?
How do we believe an ex-convict?
What is wrong with you?
Hey, isn't this ours?
It's mine.
Our team's reputation was tainted because of you.
Do not come here ever again.
What a creep.
(Chief Han Seo Ju)
Mom. What brings you here without any notice...
Why didn't you tell me?
You should've told me!
What were you trying to do with that dragging you down?
You got it all wrong. I'll tell you everything...
Call Tae In. Tell him to come here immediately.
Someone distributed the criminal record of an employee?
Beside the fact of hiring or firing someone,
it'd ruin the reputation of this company.
Tell us as the head of our legal department.
I keep this...
from Chairman Han and Mrs. Choi forever.
I report this to Chairman Han.
Or...
you return me to my position next to Tae In.
Vice President Choi.
If we fire her for her past criminal conviction,
she could report us to the Ministry of Employment and Labor.
However, she did damage my car,
and it is true that Tae In, who will soon become the owner's family,
did carelessly hire her for his relationship with her.
So?
Do you think she should...
I think she should be reinstated.
Let's let this go, sir.
What do you mean?
It was a clear violation of human rights and unfair dismissal.
The legal department should...
find the offender and formally punish the person.
Finding the distributor is important,
but we need to know who caused this in the first place.
What are you trying to say?
I'll instruct the legal department of what they'll do with Ms. Cha.
But...
reinstate my associates who had been laid off...
by Tae In unfairly.
I think that's the most practical way...
to cover up Tae In's wrongful hiring.
Let's start by pointing out what laws and regulations...
I have breached to hire her wrongfully.
If not,
you would have to atone for your actions.
You better bring my associates back.
You should choose wisely.
Requirements for wrongful hiring?
Then how about this?
When you summoned the prosecutors,
Eun Dong secretly sneaked confidential files on your desk.
Of course.
If you breach confidential agreement between you and the company,
you'd be imprisoned for 10 years or less.
Are you going to send Eun Dong to prison again?
This is fair.
You reinstate Eun Dong,
and I reinstate my people.
You must be torn.
What did you do to my daughter?
What are you talking about?
Who were you with in that hotel room...
on the day you planned to propose to Seo Ju?
Calm down, and please take a seat.
You dare to bring Jun Hyuk's wife in that room?
I didn't bring her there. She barged in.
For what?
Do I have to tell you that too?
What?
I understand how you feel as her parent.
But this is going too far.
So you're innocent?
You hold your head up high when you say you understand me?
There's no reason for me not to.
Do you think I've done something wrong?
You probably heard this through Seo Ju and Ms. Cha.
So,
like what Ms. Cha said, you've done nothing wrong?
Hye Won is crazy and she barged in to call the wedding off?
Tell me why she was in that room.
Tell me whether it's an explanation or an excuse.
She came to ask me to prevent her from getting disciplinary action.
Hye Won asked me to stop Seo Ju from punishing her.
So she went to your hotel room at that late time...
when you were about to propose to my daughter?
She said she'd get disciplined the next day.
She probably was in a hurry.
Anyway,
it was my mistake to let her in the room.
But...
I can tell how easily you take or abandon someone.
Are you going to throw me out like Cha Eun Dong...
when I become useless?
When you act this way for something like this,
how can you leave Seo Ju and the company in my hands?
If you don't trust me,
you should reconsider this marriage.
Eun Dong.
Whatever people say,
don't let them put you down.
I will always be beside you.
Eun Chan.
Eun Dong!
You reek of sweat!
But why are you here so early?
Didn't you go to work today?
I'm going to play with you all day long today.
Awesome!
You rascal! I'll get you!
I'm going to get you!
This is the only toy I have.
I'll fix this up for you. Don't worry.
I don't think it'll work.
It will. I can do it.
How do you fix this?
There...
and there.
Here.
You need to know things if you want to play with him.
- You're so cool. - Aren't I?
Well, how can a girl understand a boy's lonely life?
You're right. Play with me.
I'm sorry. I'm a little busy now.
I'm busy playing with you.
Here it is.
Our junior director brought in a customer.
I'll take out ten fried chickens after this,
so start making them now.
Hey, we still have leftover chickens you bought for us.
Don't refuse and just take it.
Our chickens are still good when you reheat them.
This little boy is enjoying the chicken.
Is it that good?
I wish I had a grandchild like him.
Sorry?
Nothing. Continue.
By the way, who is she?
- Well... - Your girlfriend?
Yes.
- No. - No.
Okay.
Come by often.
Hey, I'm paying today.
You wouldn't have any money since you got fried.
Did she get fired?
No. Keep eating.
So tell me.
You said you have something to tell me.
Come to me.
- What? - Work with me on the design team.
I got fired.
So I'll hire you back.
- I appreciate the offer, but... - If you do, take it.
Later when I'm acknowledged.
Even if I come to you, I'll only be a nuisance.
You're not in a position to refuse.
You're not desperate enough.
Look how he's eating.
- To provide for him... - Thank you.
What?
I used to resent you...
because you're Chairman Choi's family.
Don't overreact.
I'm just saying.
Eat this.
There must be something going on between them.
Who is she?
Is he okay?
We'll use all the resources available to us...
for his successful surgery.
- Thank you for your kindness. - Sure.
You must operate...
this surgery successfully.
You know...
he's an important investor of Chairman Han, right?
Yes.
Once you operate this surgery successfully,
it'll give us and the hospital a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Disciplinary action?
It will become nothing.
We could also win Chairman Han over.
Do you understand?
Yes.
Are you going to throw me out like Cha Eun Dong...
when I become useless?
When you act this way for something like this,
how can you leave Seo Ju and the company in my hands?
Get the car ready.
What?
- Who's coming? - Mrs. Choi from Pyeongchang-dong.
Why is she coming all of a sudden?
Aren't you mistaken?
Myung Hee.
I'm sorry to show up unannounced.
Don't be. We're family.
I made pickled yellow corvina that Young Gook likes.
What?
- Have a seat. Bring us some tea. - Yes, ma'am.
Oh, my.
I can't believe you came all the way here to my house.
Thank you for coming down here.
By the way, what's going on?
I just came over...
since Young Gook and I drifted apart.
Is Jun Hyuk's wife back yet?
Well, she just called me saying she's on the way.
Why?
How is she doing these days?
How is she doing?
She's been sad about the suspension and arguing with Jun Hyuk a lot.
Moreover, she's not conceiving.
Why do you ask?
- I'm home. - Hey.
Myung Hee came over.
You came.
You're here.
I have something
to say to Seo Ju and Jun Hyuk tomorrow.
You should come tomorrow too.
- Sorry? - I should pick up where I left off.
Did you come over to say that?
I'm leaving.
- Don't forget to come tomorrow. - Okay.
Bye. I'm seeing you off here.
Hye Won, what's that about?
Why did Choi Myung Hee come here just to talk to you?
Did you do something wrong again?
I've thought about your offer.
Let's make a deal.
I'll hire back your people I fired.
How touching.
You care for Eun Dong dearly.
But would she know how much you care about her?
Anyway, you made a good choice.
Instead,
there's one condition.
(F-Sports Group)
Bring Eun Dong back with you tomorrow.
Show the entire staff...
that you're bringing her yourself.
Tell them she's an innocent victim.
- Who are you to boss me around? - It's Chairman Han's order.
Chairman Han ordered the head of the legal department...
to hire Eun Dong back so that it proves...
there are no legal issues in regards to this.
I'll send you the document containing all this,
so have the legal department post it on the bulletin board.
You must have convinced Chairman Han this way.
Are you completely blinded?
You know who revealed Eun Dong is an ex-convict...
in the company.
So bring Cha Eun Dong back...
with your own hands.
Wait.
Get out of my way, you punk.
What is this?
Myung Hee called me here.
Mom.
Sit down, both of you.
Did you really do that?
Did you really think I wouldn't catch you?
You're determined to bring disgrace to my family.
Let's say Chairman Han I didn't know this.
What about Jun Hyuk?
What do you think he'll do if he finds out?
It seems that you have...
some kind of a bond with Tae In, and not Jun Hyuk.
That's probably why you went into his room when he's getting married.
Can you continue living with Jun Hyuk?
But do you think...
you'll be able to get along...
with Jun Hyuk?
If I let it slide without letting Jun Hyuk know,
it will make him look like a fool.
But I can't even tell Jun Hyuk, your parents-in-law,
or Chairman Han.
Can you have Seo Ju step outside?
Did you steal someone else's woman for this?
What did you just say?
Ms. Cha.
Yes?
What do you think about a married woman going...
into another man's hotel room?
Well, the more weird thing would be...
her husband not taking any action...
when he knows about it.
Why? Is there anything you can't say in front of Seo Ju?
Please spare me.
It's not like that.
I didn't go to Tae In's hotel room...
for what you are thinking. It's not what you're thinking.
What did you say?
Whose hotel room did you say?
You went to find Director Kang in his hotel room?
Tell me again.
Are you saying that you went to see Tae In who's about to marry Seo Ju?
What you were saying earlier was about...
That was about spreading Eun Dong's criminal records.
Get up.
Get up!
What do you think you are doing?
Ms. Cha.
It's the chairman's order.
Return to work starting today.
So it wasn't Eun Dong exposing it,
but you falling for it on your own.
That's why Tae In let me into that room...
with Eun Dong next to me.
What are you going to do?
I can't stay still.
She knows that I went to the hotel room...
in regard to the disciplinary action!
This is good.
Would Aunt Myung Hee let Tae In marry...
Seo Ju after finding this out?
Forget this,
and just focus on carrying out that investor's surgery.
The woman you are looking for.
I heard that her child was taken away, not abandoned.
Her neighbors...
saw someone come to take the child away during then.
Dad!
Yes.
Thank you...
for helping Ms. Cha get her position back. Thank you.
I did what must be done.
Using someone's past against one is...
the most cowardly act a person can do.
As a leader in charge of many,
I have to set the right example.
Yes, I'll keep it in my mind.
But why are you so concerned about Ms. Cha?
She's a great person.
That's what I think regardless of how others see her.
Bring her here to visit some time. We can have a meal together.
Okay.
By the way, Dad. Is something troubling you?
I can play dumb if it's something you can't say.
It bothers me...
that I wasn't able to greet the chairman last time he came.
We'll meet up soon anyway.
I was thinking if we should invite Tae In's secretary over...
for a meal.
Sure. Is something bothering you?
Is it because of what Hye Won said?
There's no harm in being friendly with her.
Who could this be?
Hello?
I'm Seo Ju's mom.
I hear that the chairman is recovering.
It's bout Director Kang and Hye Won.
What do you think of the two having to live in the same household?
In fact,
we were also worried about that.
But the two have moved on a long time ago,
and we decided to trust Tae In.
And what if you get stabbed in the back?
I asked you to meet me to make this clear.
What are you saying?
If something disgraceful was to happen between Director Kang...
and Hye Won after he marries my daughter,
not only him,
but you will also take responsibility.
What do you say? Can you promise me?
Okay. I understood.
Then let's make it this weekend.
I'm talking about the two families meeting.
I assume you were waiting for the chairman's recovery.
It's fine for us.
Do as you please.
Then that's what I'll tell the chairman.
Even though you've returned, you'll be criticized by others...
if you stay with me.
I plan...
to keep you as my employee to prove...
that it wasn't a corrupt hiring.
- And? - It will be rough for you.
You might go through something worse than this.
Go work for Junior Director Han if that's what you want.
- I'll let you go. - No.
I'll stay by your side.
I'm going to use you to drive...
Choi Jun Hyuk out of the company.
That's why I stole your data.
Such a person made...
Jun Hyuk to have me return to the company.
Why?
Are you using me as well?
Stay with me.
You'll learn when the time is right.
So that's how it will be.
(Chairman Han Gwang Hoon)
- Yes, Chairman Han. - Hey.
I'm in your neighborhood.
Can I see you for a bit?
Sure.
Where are you now?
Tae In says that he's almost home,
so I'll go get some bean sprouts and come with him.
Leave it. I'll go.
It'll help me with digestion. I might have eaten too fast.
I'll be back.
Are you okay, Chairman Han?
I'm sorry.
- Let me carry you. - No.
I'm fine.
Can I lean...
on you for a bit?
Sure.
He drank alcohol?
You should have stopped him! He just collapsed recently.
Who did he drink with?
Director Kang is with him at the snack cart.
Who?
Move.
Move away from my dad!
(Fatal Promise)
I'll overlook whatever it is, so do whatever you want to Hye Won.
A parasitic life where you live off the ones with power.
Repeat what you said!
I committed an unforgivable sin.
Don't be conscious of it. Endure it.
Seo Ju, please come to your senses and look at Tae In!
His eyes are vengeful.
How will you carry out the surgery?
I hope it's successful. That will be the only way you can live.
