Reason?
I think it's rude to barge into an empty office...
and take things without permission.
You want to know the reason?
This is the reason.
What do you think you're doing?
An explanation seems necessary.
Do you remember me telling everyone to keep...
the new material development patent confidential?
Yes.
Soon after,
there was a traitor who tried to sell the patent to our competitor.
That's enough explanation, no?
What on earth are you saying?
Are you claiming I'm the traitor?
Stop framing me again.
How shameless.
I can't believe it.
Why would Ms. Yoo have done that?
Will you believe it if there is concrete evidence?
Come with me if you want to confirm it yourself.
Please sit.
Ms. Yoo. You know this man, don't you?
No, I don't.
Tell them what you told me earlier.
I'm Assistant Manager Lee Eun Sung from Hanmi Footwear's development team.
I got an e-mail yesterday night.
Along with some information on SA Group's new material,
the sender promised to hand over...
all the files she had in exchange for two million dollars.
Honestly, I wavered at first.
But my conscience didn't allow it. So I came here today.
And who was the e-mail from?
The senior manager from SA Group's investment development team, Yoo Soo Yeon.
That's absurd. I never sent one.
I fell asleep after I got home from yesterday's get-together.
I was also at that get-together.
And so were President Hong and Ms. Seo.
After the get-together,
were you with her even at her house?
I swear it wasn't me.
Someone might have sent it using my name.
Check your e-mail.
(To Lee Eun Sung: SA Group's New Material Patent)
You must have sent it under the influence.
I think my e-mail got hacked.
- Did you check? - Yes, ma'am.
I looked into the sender's IP address.
The e-mail was sent from Ms. Yoo's house.
Are you still going to argue?
And I found this inside...
Ms. Yoo's bag.
Hey, wake up.
Rise and shine. It's already past ten in the morning.
Shouldn't you get ready for work?
- Hurry up. - No, just let me sleep.
Hey, are you sick?
Auntie. Stop bothering me and go to work.
I'm simply not feeling myself right now.
I'll get better after some rest.
Are you upset because of what...
Soo Yeon said to you yesterday?
If you do as I say,
I will keep our promise and give this store to you.
So?
I don't want to do it.
Don't you want this store?
As a human being, I'm greedy too.
But the last thing I want to do is hurt Soo Yeon.
She got a divorce against her will and had it tough.
Ms. Yoo won't get hurt.
Rather, it might do her better.
Better?
She has to face the chairman every day.
Imagine how hard that must be.
Isn't it better if she doesn't have to anymore?
Are you sure Soo Yeon won't get hurt?
Are you?
Yes, I promise.
There are several files on this USB.
Send one to the e-mail address that I tell you.
(To Lee Eun Sung: SA Group's New Material Patent)
(This is part of the content. The rest will cost 2 million dollars.)
(Your e-mail has been sent.)
Nothing will happen, right?
Why did I do that?
(President Hong Jin Woo)
This is bad.
What is it?
The audit team caught Yoo Soo Yeon trying to hand over the patent...
for the new material to Hanmi Footwear.
Do you still not believe it after what you heard and saw?
No. It's just...
I need time to figure out...
I don't have enough patience to wait anymore.
This time, you must choose, Mr. Kang.
Fire Yoo Soo Yeon.
This is wrong.
I never sent that e-mail.
Sticking to your words will not change what happened.
That's the problem with you.
You always act innocent. Fix that attitude.
I never did that.
I only stated the truth.
You said the same thing when you had that affair.
"I didn't do it. I feel wronged."
But what happened in the end?
You confessed. Didn't you?
What happened?
We'll talk later.
If you can't fire her, I can only think of it this way.
That Bareun Partners is the mastermind behind all this.
What do you mean?
If she had successfully handed over the patent to our competitor,
SA Group would have received all the blow.
The huge loss of new material development costs...
and penalty disputes with the investors...
could have even led us to bankruptcy.
And Bareun Partners could have taken that chance...
to take over SA Group.
That's nonsense.
If you want to accuse someone, accuse me.
But that's the only conclusion I can come to.
I will quit.
I will do as you wish.
You're all making rash judgments.
All the circumstances point to Ms. Yoo,
so I can't argue against that.
But Ms. Yoo is strongly insisting it wasn't her.
Shouldn't I trust my employee?
I'm not saying that I will not fire her.
But while the audit team investigates,
I will too.
During that time, Ms. Yoo will take a leave of absence from work.
Let's decide when we come to a solid conclusion.
It is my principle that there should be no exceptions.
If today's incident is true...
I will fire her.
Chairman Cha fabricated this to get rid of me.
That's probably not it.
SA Group is everything to her.
She would not have given the new material...
she poured millions into developing to the competitor just to kick you out.
You're right.
Then who could have done it?
Maybe Ms. Seo?
I don't know.
But it's confidential information, and she's Cha Hwa Yeong's daughter-in-law.
So I doubt it.
Go home for now.
What you said in front of Chairman Cha just now.
Do you really trust me?
The Yoo Soo Yeon I've watched so far...
would never do such a thing. That's why I trust you.
So trust me and wait.
I'll get in touch soon.
(Investment Development Team)
Tell me the truth.
I'll let my mom know and save you from any trouble.
Did Mr. Kang order you to do it?
No.
Then what?
Didn't I say someone set me up?
Who would have done that?
Do you think it was my mom?
No.
But?
Talk to me.
If he didn't order you to do it, why did you...
Did you need money? Is that why you did it?
If you can't trust me, don't.
I'm asking because I want to trust you.
I have nothing more to say. I'm leaving first.
Just tell me already!
Good work.
Don't mention it.
Why are you back? Weren't we done talking?
I had my doubts, but it really was you?
You went too far.
- You may leave. - Okay.
How could you, Mom?
I know you hate Soo Yeon.
But did you have to go this far?
It's not what you think.
Then what was that envelope I just saw?
A reward as gratitude.
I can't trust you. Can I ask him myself?
Go ahead.
Sit.
I'll explain.
He's someone I planted in Hanmi Footwear.
He's our company's industrial spy?
Yes.
It's a relief that foolish Yoo Soo Yeon sent it to Lee Eun Sung.
Imagine if it went to another worker.
I would have made her pay for the mess.
But how did she get his e-mail address?
Who knows?
But you can find anything if you dig around.
More than that, I don't understand why you're doing this.
Do you still have feelings for her?
No.
What was that long pause?
Did you already forget what she did to you?
Must I remind you of the filthy things she has done?
I know, okay? I do.
But as Seo Jun's mom, she needs to make a living.
She can work for other companies.
Didn't you see Mr. Kang take her side?
Looking at how she acts,
she'll be fine even if she doesn't have money.
She'll just latch on to some guy.
If you're starting to get feelings for her again, don't.
You two already got divorced. Make it a clean cut.
Yes, Mother.
Why did you come back home?
I had something to do.
You didn't go to work today?
Oh, I'm just not feeling well today.
I asked to take the day off to rest.
Young Ji. Did someone come here yesterday?
It could've been in the afternoon or in the evening.
No. Why do you ask?
Were you expecting someone?
Someone hacked into my e-mail and did something strange,
and the IP address was tracked to our house.
Don't eat so fast.
- Do you want some water? - It's okay.
So? What happened?
Did you get fired?
- Half. - Half?
I'm temporarily suspended for now,
but if I can't catch the culprit, I'll be fired.
Mr. Kang said he would look into it, but I don't think it'd be easy.
Do we have a security camera in front of our house?
I don't think that's enough to show who came into our house.
Don't you think so?
You're probably right.
I wonder if there's hacking software installed on my laptop.
I should go check.
Oh, my heart.
Please let this pass quietly.
Assistant Manager Lee Eun Sung from the Hanmi Footwear Development Team?
Do a thorough search on him.
We might find something.
Yes, sir.
Please do it as quickly as possible. We don't have a lot of time.
Yes, sir.
This is from my heart.
I embroidered this myself,
one stitch at a time.
Just like my heart,
there's only one of this in the world.
Only one.
That's so cheesy.
Gosh.
What? You asked for my honest feedback.
You really shouldn't be a judge for anything.
My confession was so heartfelt,
and you called it cheesy?
He told me he'd come by when he could. Why isn't he coming?
This is from my heart.
I embroidered this myself,
one stitch at a time.
There's only one of this in the world.
Only one.
It's still cheesy.
How pretty.
You must've worked hard to make your flowers bloom.
I'm so proud.
Let's see here.
The flowers bloomed.
They're so pretty.
Please come to see them when you have the time.
The internal audit team is interrogating Soo Yeon?
Welcome home, Chairman Cha.
I want to take a bath.
- Please prepare it for me. - Yes, ma'am.
So what happened to Soo Yeon?
Gosh. If you have something to say, just say it.
Don't just stand around my store all day.
Don't you have to sell burgers?
You always seem to have a lot of customers.
Why do you keep coming in and out of my store?
I'm sorry.
I didn't mean to lie to you.
No, that's not it.
Whatever the reason was,
I made you misunderstand. It's all my fault.
Please accept my apology.
I understand,
so you don't have to apologize anymore.
Thank you.
Does that mean you're accepting my apology...
and forgiving me?
Technically, it's partly my fault for just assuming.
No, not at all. It's all my fault.
I'm the problem. I am.
By the way, how are you so different from your sister?
Your sister always seems to be on the lookout...
for something to blame on me.
Don't worry...
about my sister.
Please eat this.
I'll firmly tell her to stop doing that.
It looks like she can take you out with one punch.
No, she needs two punches.
Okay. Thank you for the gift.
Why do you knock before coming into your own room?
I heard something happened at work.
Was it really Soo Yeon?
Who was it?
Only a few people know about this, so it must not be a regular employee.
Was it one of the directors?
You haven't answered my question.
I don't think Soo Yeon is deceitful enough to do something like that.
It's not good to be so trusting of people.
So what are you going to do?
Why are you asking me?
You can just ask your informant.
Did you come to talk to me...
just to ask about Soo Yeon?
Aren't you worried about me or the company?
You're doing fine on your own. I don't need to worry about you.
Mom.
Walk more elegantly.
Mom.
I want to work. Put me on the investment development team.
I heard Yoo got fired.
That means you need someone to help Dong Ha.
I'll do it.
You think you can do brand development and design work?
Don't be ridiculous.
Why can't I? I can if I try.
Mother. It's Jin A's wish. Please let her join the team.
Mom. You're going to help me, right?
What about your modeling work?
I can do it all.
You're going to let me join the team, right?
We'll see.
I'm going to tell Dong Ha.
Jin A looks so excited. She must be very happy.
About the USB drive they found in Yoo Soo Yeon's bag,
I gave that to you.
What happened?
You told me to share it.
So I left it on her desk the day you gave it to me.
I had no idea she would give that to Assistant Manager Lee.
You know Lee Eun Sung?
We met each other in America last year.
Why do you ask?
It's nothing. Go on upstairs.
Yes, Mother.
What am I thinking?
She told me to hold it like this.
- Like this. - Good shot.
- Good shot.
- You're working on your swing. - I am.
I don't want to forget what Soo Yeon taught me.
By the way,
my feet feel so stable when I wear these shoes.
- Right? - Yes.
They changed this part right here.
They really support my feet well.
- Look. - You're right. Your form looks so good.
Right? Everyone's dead now.
- Dong Ha. - Right.
I have feet too, you know.
Okay. I'll buy them for you too, Uncle.
The consumer response to these shoes has been really good.
- Look at my swing. - Okay.
Ta-da.
Chairman Mi Sook, good shot.
Nice shot.
That's why the company bulletin board was so busy today.
They're trying so hard to get rid of her.
Anyway, Soo Yeon isn't really making any progress either.
If she wants to attack, she should do it soon.
What is she waiting for? She's so frustrating.
She keeps falling for their traps. She probably doesn't have time to think.
On top of that,
she needs to catch the person who killed her father.
They haven't found the culprit yet, right?
There haven't been any new reports, and the evidence we have isn't enough.
Let's just keep waiting around then.
You can sleep with him tonight.
If you tell Sunny about all of the things...
that make you scared, upset, or angry,
Sunny will be scared, upset, and angry for you.
I'll let you borrow him.
Thanks.
I'll tell Sunny everything...
and put a smile on my face, just like you.
Seo Jun. Don't you miss Dad?
No.
You really don't want to see him?
You don't have to lie to me.
I'm okay.
I do want to see him a little bit.
Mommy's sorry.
I didn't care for you enough.
I like living with you, Mommy.
Mom. Don't throw me away, okay?
I would never. I promise.
That's never going to happen.
You're going to live with me until you're all grown up.
Promise.
- Are you sure? - Yes, sir.
He's an industrial spy.
Oh, I'm sorry. Are you okay?
Hello.
- We meet again. - Again?
Have we met?
You caught me when I was about to fall the other day.
It was so cool.
Oh, that.
I think I remember.
Oh, I'm sorry.
You, come with me.
Oh, my.
How do you know Mr. Ko Dae Chul?
Oh, is his name Ko Dae Chul?
Even his name is cool.
Answer me right now!
Why are you yelling?
We don't know each other.
Why did you come here? Are you out of your mind?
Had I not been out of my mind, Ms. Seo...
Actually, I don't have to call you Ms. Seo anymore.
Had I not been out of my mind,
I wouldn't have been able to do what you had asked.
What?
I did everything you had asked me to do.
So give me the store as you had promised.
I never made such a promise.
Wait. How can you say that?
You clearly said to me in the store...
I wonder what would happen...
if Yoo Soo Yeon found out what you had done.
So don't act up and stay quiet.
Be thankful that you didn't have to pay for breaching your contract.
Oh, my. I didn't know something like that happened.
You basically asked a wolf to guard your sheep.
You're right.
She must've been a thorn in your side.
There's no need to hesitate.
Just fire her.
I came to tell you something.
- I'll head out, then. - It's okay.
You're a non-executive director. Please stay.
If it's okay with you, it's fine with me.
Okay.
(Transaction History, Lee Eun Sung, Cash Deposit, Kim Gil Soo)
I found out during this investigation...
that you consistently announced new products...
right before Hanmi Footwear during the past few years.
Hanmi Footwear had similar products.
But since their launch was after yours, they didn't have so much success.
I don't think you know much about the footwear industry.
But there are new trends every year,
and we launch products based on those trends.
It's only natural that our designs are similar.
Didn't you see the amount that was deposited into Mr. Lee's account?
I don't even know who that is. How am I supposed to know?
When I traced the source, it wasn't from the person written there.
It was from someone in SA Group.
(Phone Records)
He meets often with your assistant, Mr. Kim.
They also call each other often. I can't overlook that.
The more I think about it,
the more it seems to me that Mr. Lee is an industrial spy...
for SA Group.
- I don't know... - Even if you didn't know,
it's true that the same amount of money...
was deposited into Mr. Lee's account several times.
I can publicize this situation.
If you don't care, I'll do so.
You seem to be beating around the bush.
You must have something else you actually want to say.
Thankfully, the patent for the new material...
didn't go to Hanmi Footwear.
Right now, I can't be sure of my theory about Mr. Lee.
I'm going to ask Ms. Yoo to come back to work.
Also, you should never do something...
as low as using an industrial spy ever again.
This is my offer to you.
I want to know...
why you're going so far to save Yoo Soo Yeon.
Like I told you last time,
she's my employee.
He had such a good opportunity to take down Cha Hwa Yeong.
He gave it up for Yoo Soo Yeon.
Could he have feelings for her or something?
Yes, Mr. Kang. Really?
Come back to work starting tomorrow.
Yes. Thank you. Goodbye.
I have to get the books in the safe as soon as possible.
We're going close Soo Yeon's case, just letting you know.
It wasn't Soo Yeon, right?
Who was it?
My decision doesn't have anything to do with the actual case.
How can we work in the same company as a spy?
Let's stop talking about this.
This is my decision. Don't question it.
I have a headache. Get out.
Try to convince Mother.
It doesn't make any sense.
Didn't you hear what she said?
She told us not to question her decision.
Mother's word is law in this house.
Ms. Seo.
Something came in the mail for you earlier this afternoon.
(To Seo Yu Ra)
(I know what you did.)
Goodnight, Mother.
Yoo Soo Yeon. You're definitely the one behind it.
(Gold Mask)
- Here, take this. - What?
What is it?
My dad used to work for Moran Footwear before he opened his workshop.
He wouldn't have gone that far if she had been just an employee to him.
That doesn't scare me at all.
Let's go home together after work. Seo Jun misses you.
Are you free tonight?
She keeps using Seo Jun to stir up Jin Woo.
I think I still love you a lot.
