(Episode 80)
Don't cry.
Please don't cry.
Gosh. What brings you here?
Mom, have you gone mad?
Why did you slap Dong Ha?
Are you okay, Dong Ha?
What's with you?
Why are you here?
Mom. Why on earth did you slap him?
It's not what you think.
Let's leave it at this.
It won't be good for either SA Group or me if rumors start flying.
You arrogant jerk.
If you dare meet up with this low life behind my daughter's back again,
I will put her life in misery.
Keep that in mind.
Hong Jin A. You should come to your senses too.
You and Yoo Soo Yeon.
What were you two doing in here?
Go. I'll take of things here.
Go on.
Where are you going? Didn't I ask you a question?
What were you doing with Dong Ha?
Hong Jin A!
Enough.
Did you just lose your temper at me?
But why? What did I do?
From now on, don't come to my office without my permission.
No. Yoo Soo Yeon can come, so why can't I?
I'm your wife.
I have the right to be where you are.
No, you don't.
This isn't a private place.
Ms. Yoo works for me...
and can come to my office anytime, so stop it.
I have to work. Leave.
Then I'll be your worker too.
I'll come here to work every day.
I will not go home alone today.
I'll wait until you're done.
Hey. Why do you keep looking over at the burger shop?
Remember I'm going over to Dae Chul's place for dinner?
He's going to give his sister a heads up about me, his girlfriend.
Oh, my. So he's telling her the news...
and introducing you to her today?
Yes. Having been in the special forces, he sorts things out swiftly.
Goodness.
Auntie, how do I introduce myself to his sister?
I'm scared. I don't want dinner time to come.
Wasn't Mr. Ko going to take care of everything?
Have faith in him.
He promised to take responsibility for you and the baby.
So he's a trustworthy man.
He seems to be a right-minded person...
with a strong sense of responsibility.
Many men run away irresponsibly when their girlfriend gets pregnant.
You've got a good eye for men.
Right?
- Seriously. - What?
Who are you bringing over for dinner to our house?
My girlfriend.
The one I'm marrying.
Oh, my gosh. A girlfriend out of the blue?
You're marrying her?
Remember what you told me over and over again?
"Once a man sets his mind on something,"
"he should see the end of it."
And I, Ko Dae Chul, am a man who does what he says he will.
So did you see the end of it?
Let's talk about the details later during dinner.
Prepare lots of delicious dishes. She's a special guest.
Gosh, how dirty. I better wash up.
A typhoon is coming in without any warning.
Yes, hello.
Is this Mr. Kim Chang Min...
who used to work for Moran Footwear?
Oh, he changed his number a long time ago? I'm sorry.
(Kim Chang Min, Jung Ki Wook)
Hello?
Is this Mr. Jung Ki Wook...
who used to work for Moran Footwear?
Yes. May I ask who is calling?
Hi. I'm not sure if you still remember.
But I'm the daughter of Yoo Dae Sung who used to work with you.
My name is Yoo Soo Yeon.
I'd like to ask some questions in person.
Do you mind sparing me some of your time?
I'd really appreciate it.
It's nice to meet you.
Mr. Yoo used to brag about his one and only daughter.
I can't believe you're already an adult.
Time sure flies.
Thank you for coming all the way here. I'm sure it was a long trip.
When I heard Mr. Yoo had passed away,
I wanted to pay my respects at his funeral.
But I wasn't that well.
I was in the hospital back then.
I want to pay off my debt of gratitude like this,
so feel free to ask.
Okay. Do you know anything about a worker...
my dad was close with back in his Moran Footwear days?
He had a daughter around my age.
Gosh, it was such a long time ago.
Hold on. A daughter around your age...
Could it be him?
I'm sure his last name was Park.
His full name...
was probably Park Sang Do.
- Mr. Park Sang Do? - Yes.
His wife had run away, so he was a single father.
I can recall your father had taken great care of him.
Mr. Park had brought his daughter to work at times.
By any chance, do you remember his daughter's face?
This was her.
Oh, I'm not sure.
It's hard to remember that much.
After she had run away from the orphanage she was sent to,
my dad had looked for her for a while using this photo.
Goodness, he was such a kind man.
Did that incident bother him that much?
Incident?
During Mr. Park's funeral,
Moran Footwear was also in danger of bankruptcy and whatnot.
The workers were barely in their right mind to offer condolences.
But your father had dropped by often.
Here's the thing. Whenever the daughter saw him,
she demanded he brings her father back to life.
She told my dad to bring her father back to life?
I simply thought she wasn't herself from the shock...
of losing her father at such a young age.
Anyway, I remember her telling every person who came by.
"Mr. Yoo killed my dad."
Something like that.
(Chairman Cha Hwa Yeong)
As we had thought, Ms. Yoo was meeting with people from Moran Footwear.
He's Jung Ki Wook, a former Moran Footwear worker...
who had worked for SA Group after the merger and acquisition.
How long has he worked for us?
If he were an early member, I would know him.
Not long after you took office as the chairman,
he quit due to personal reasons.
Keep your eyes on this man and Yoo Soo Yeon.
I must know why she's digging into Moran Footwear.
Understood. I already ordered someone to follow them.
Please excuse me.
Yes, it's me.
What is it?
That man Jung Ki Wook. He's currently...
Who are you?
Who are you to come into my house uninvited?
You may leave.
Okay.
You're home early.
We need to talk.
Do you know that man?
Why did you meet with Jung Ki Wook?
Didn't you ask who he was?
Since you even know his name,
I guess you're done with the investigation.
Aren't I right?
I got to know about that man...
because I heard Yoo Soo Yeon had met him...
while digging into Moran Footwear.
You haven't answered my question yet.
Why did you meet with Jung Ki Wook?
Are you planning on helping Yoo Soo Yeon?
What on earth is she up to this time?
Stop making up a story.
He was my employee until I closed the company due to my panic disorder.
He dropped by while he was in Seoul after a long time.
You expect me to believe that?
Wait. Was it him?
The one who had leaked internal information to you.
After quitting his job due to health problems,
he lived in the countryside for a long time.
If you can't believe me, have Mr. Kim look into it.
Now that's a good idea.
Why are you being so sensitive?
Why is Soo Yeon digging into Moran Footwear?
Is it something you can't tell me?
No, it's not.
You have no idea how wild Yoo Soo Yeon is running these days.
She's trying to bring down both SA Group and me one way or the other.
She would do anything to achieve that.
I'm only trying to stop her before she pulls any funny tricks.
What's with those eyes?
I don't enjoy doubting you, either.
Then don't.
I'm not guilty of anything.
I hope that's true.
I only said it because you looked anxious.
It was true even in Mr. Kim's report.
Jung Ki Wook has been living in the countryside for a long time.
But he knows everything about the company's internal situation.
Someone inside the company is definitely giving him the information.
But who is that person?
I'm heading upstairs first.
Wasn't he the one in the wrong?
So how can he hold his head up high?
Why did you slap Dong Ha in the first place?
It was Yoo Soo Yeon's fault, so why did you blame him?
Hong Jin A.
Dong Ha should be on his knees, begging for our forgiveness right now.
What's going on?
Yoo Soo Yeon. She's the problem.
Nothing has worked out ever since we got involved with that wench.
What's wrong with Mom?
I don't know.
But because of Yoo Soo Yeon, Dong Ha got slapped across the face.
Mom should have slapped that fox instead.
Seriously.
Aren't you being cowardly?
What do you mean?
You chose this marriage as an adult.
So as an adult, take responsibility for your action.
But you're hurting Soo Yeon with your indecisiveness.
Was what I said funny?
Yes. Honestly, it was.
Especially since it came from you, President Hong.
It got me wondering...
how the two marriages you chose...
as an adult ended up as.
I'm holding back because of my parents.
My family keeps talking about Soo Yeon because of you.
Make sure that doesn't happen again.
I won't just stand by and watch next time.
Why is he wanting to get married all of a sudden?
I hope it's not some gold-digger.
Mi Sook.
Let me introduce my darling to you.
Darling. Come on in.
Yes. Come on in.
Hello. My name is No Young Ji.
The tteokbokki store? Yoo Soo Yeon's cousin?
You, Ko Dae Chul, and Yoo Soo Yeon's cousin?
Yes. We're seeing each other.
Oh, right.
We're getting married.
I prepared a lot,
so enjoy.
Yes. Thank you.
Oh, my. It looks delicious.
I'm sorry.
Young Ji. Are you okay?
Sorry. I'm not feeling very well.
Dae Chul. You should go ahead and eat.
She worked hard to prepare this.
How can I eat when you can't?
I won't eat either.
I've lost my appetite.
I'm fine with you two seeing each other.
I'm okay with it, even though you're Yoo Soo Yeon's cousin.
But marriage is another thing.
I just found out today.
We've been together for long enough.
We're not getting any younger. We don't want to waste time.
That's why you should be even more careful.
Marriage is a serious thing.
Marriage is...
How rude. We're in the middle of dinner.
Wait. Are you guys...
Yes.
Ko Dae Chul Jr. is right here,
in Young Ji's stomach.
So I think our families should meet as soon as possible.
It'll get harder for Young Ji as time goes by.
I'll have to take care of her.
Also, I decided to remodel my room...
and have Young Ji moved in.
Young Ji also agreed.
My goodness.
- Mi Sook. Don't drink too much water. - Hey.
Let's all be calm.
Stress is bad for Ko Dae Chul Jr.
Let's be classy and refined.
Oh, my head.
Are you done with work, Dong Ha?
Sorry. It's so messy, isn't it?
I'm really into art lately.
What do we do? There's no space on the floor.
Dong Ha. Could you sleep in the bed, just for today?
I was meaning to clean up, but I'm too tired.
I guess I'll have to clean tomorrow.
Dong Ha. What are you doing?
I'm just taking a quick break. I'm going to go out soon.
I have an early morning meeting.
Do you dislike me that much?
Do you dislike me so much that you don't want to sleep next to me?
If you bother me while I try to sleep, I'm going to go to the office.
Hi, Mr. Lee.
Did you look at the certificate of authenticity I sent over?
This painting is by a very famous artist.
It'll sell for a ton at an auction.
What did you say?
Are you sure?
(Chairman Cha Hwa Yeong)
- I'm so angry. - What happened?
I got so angry...
that coffee came out of my nose.
Let's not waste time. Please explain in a way that I can understand.
The painting you so proudly showed off...
and offered as collateral is...
What was it called?
- A fake. - Yes, that.
A fake. An imitation. A counterfeit.
There's no way.
I even gave you the certificate of authentication.
The certificate of authentication is also fake.
I know I'm not very well-educated and know little about art.
But how could you try to scam me, as the chairman of SA Group?
That's very rude of you.
I'm not that kind of person.
I told you that I got the painting as a gift.
I really didn't know.
Who in the world would give you a painting like this?
You should really cut ties with someone like that.
I think that's enough. It's not as if I knew.
I'll return the cash I received from you.
Of course, you should.
Please cut ties with that person as soon as possible.
If they scammed you once,
they can do it again.
I'll leave the painting here.
You should hang it in your bathroom or something.
Ms. Lee, the housekeeper who used to work for Chairman Cha,
told me that Seo Yu Ra gave Chairman Cha that painting...
when she got married to Jin Woo.
What did I tell you?
Once a scammer, always a scammer.
Chairman Cha looked so humiliated.
That must've really hurt her ego.
Cha Hwa Yeong really seems desperate, swallowing her pride like that.
Don't you find it suspicious?
I looked into things...
and found out that SA Group's plans in America have all been paused.
They also barely paid the contract fee...
for the Asia sales contract with Louis Laurent.
Apparently, Louis Laurent...
is considering canceling the contract and suing SA Group for compensation.
SA Group's pantry is really getting emptied out.
We need to hit them when they're at their weakest.
I should try looking for their second set of books again.
I'm sure there are even more holes in those books than before.
We must find it.
We couldn't find it the last two times. Are you sure you can find it this time?
I'll try. I'll even use Hong Jin Woo if I have to.
The second set of books?
We don't know where that is.
Of course, we don't.
She said she would try to find it, even if she had to use Hong Jin Woo.
That's dangerous.
You should've stopped her even if Mother was okay with it.
I tried to stop her.
I even tried talking to her after Mi Sook left,
but she's almost as stubborn as Mi Sook.
She's as stubborn as a mule.
Okay. Let's talk later.
Mr. Kang. We're ready for the meeting.
The senior managers are waiting.
Let's push the meeting to tomorrow.
I have to go. Something urgent came up. Please tell them I'm sorry.
You contacted me earlier than I expected.
You were whining so much that I thought it'd take you more time.
But I told you to pay me in cash.
Shouldn't there be a bag full of money?
I was thinking that I could pay you in a different way.
I can give you something that you could sell for cash.
Take that painting.
You gave it to me as a gift when you were getting married.
You'll get the cash you want if you sell it.
Take it, and we'll call things even.
You're so funny, Mother.
That's a fake.
You knew that. Why are you trying to play games with me?
It's not like you.
You gave me that piece of trash as a gift.
How dare you be so brazen?
A piece of trash?
It was a very high-quality forgery. It cost me quite a bit of money.
It was so good that you didn't realize it was fake.
I clearly remember you looking at the painting while drinking coffee.
You said it felt like you were being healed, didn't you?
I came because I thought you had the cash ready.
Don't waste my time like this.
Call me when you have the cash.
Soo Yeon said the safe in the main bedroom was empty.
If they moved it within this house,
it's likely that they moved it to Chairman Cha's office.
Just getting home?
Why were you in there?
I thought I heard a noise.
Noise?
I guess it was coming from outside.
The window was open, so I closed it. Excuse me.
No.
I came to get some water.
You must be very stressed for you to be drinking alone like this.
I can listen.
You can only listen?
How about empathizing with me?
Do you think you'll be able to empathize with me after I tell you everything?
I'm not sure.
I don't know what it's about, but I'll try.
You used to be...
someone I could always rely on.
You always showed me unconditional love...
and empathy.
Maybe unconditional is a nice word...
to sugarcoat the fact that I was a bystander.
I hid behind my panic disorder and you...
to ignore problems...
and only think about easy things.
Please stay that way.
It's okay if you ignore problems...
and become a bystander.
I don't want you to see my ugly side. You can keep hiding behind me...
forever.
That way, I'll be able to use you...
as an excuse for all of the sins I've committed.
You're my one and only shield.
You put me in this position,
and you made me into this.
What are you thinking?
I want you to stay the same.
Just stay by my side, just as you are.
You'll do so, won't you?
People change.
I've changed.
You don't only belong to yourself.
You're my first love,
my innocence,
and my self-esteem.
You're my everything.
It's not too late.
Get rid of anything that's weighing on your shoulders.
Just stop everything you're doing...
and let things go.
Live in peace.
I can do that for you...
as your husband.
I thought you'd be working at Bareun today.
I heard you were looking for the second set of books.
I looked around Chairman Cha's house yesterday,
but I couldn't find the safe anywhere.
She must've moved the safe...
to some place outside of the house.
I wonder where that could be.
She must have a secret place.
Could it be in her office?
Don't do it.
It's too dangerous to look yourself.
Don't use President Hong either.
You too, Mr. Kang.
You could've gotten in trouble if someone saw you snooping around the house.
Don't do something so risky for me.
It's not for you. It's for me.
You know what my goal is.
Good morning.
I'll be going.
Listen to me.
Soo Yeon. Knock.
Oh, hi.
I asked a friend at the National Forensic Service...
if they could make a model of what someone would look like now...
using the childhood pictures you have,
and they said they would.
Apparently, they use that method often when looking for missing children.
How long will that take?
Yoo Soo Yeon is looking for a girl?
Yes, ma'am. After she met Mr. Jung,
I asked another employee that had talked to Ms. Yoo.
He said she was looking for Mr. Park Sang Do's daughter.
She showed him a picture of a child.
Park Sang Do?
How could Yoo Soo Yeon know about him?
Is there anything else?
She gave the picture of the child to the National Forensic Service...
and requested them to make a model of what the child would look like now.
I'm thinking that's Mr. Park's daughter.
Talk to the National Forensic Service...
and find out who the child in the picture is.
Yes, ma'am.
(Here are the documents you requested.)
Look, Ms. Yoo.
I just received the files.
The National Forensic Service just sent this.
(Chairman Cha Hwa Yeong)
(Gold Mask)
Mr. Tunic.
Are you trying to win points by getting close to my son now?
It's not too late. Please come out.
I'm going to make a perfect family and live happily with Dong Ha.
I'm going to show Yoo Soo Yeon.
You have someone tailing Yoo Soo Yeon, right?
She must have another reason,
seeing as how she believes they killed her father.
Why did you approach my family?
Be honest.
Oh, my goodness.
Something happened that day. I'm sure of it.
