Nice to meet you.
I'm the chairman of Bareun Partners,
Ko Mi Sook, I mean, Catherine.
The chairman of Bareun Partners...
was you, Chairman Ko Mi Sook?
Have you been fooled your whole life?
Why can't you believe me? I even introduced myself.
Why don't we all sit down to proceed with the meeting?
I heard the agenda for today's emergency stockholders' meeting...
was Chairman Cha's dismissal.
I'm dying to know what'll happen to you.
You must have forgotten the fact that my family and I...
are the major stockholders of SA Group.
Enough with your jokes.
Mi Sook, we're a family.
Family?
In Korea,
it's worth watching families...
fight their guts out for management control.
It's fun too.
I also have a family member who is a major stockholder.
Mr. Ko Mi Nam?
Hi.
I am one of the major stockholders of SA Group,
Ko Mi Nam.
Ko Mi Nam?
He's the person who consistently bought our stocks.
Ko Mi Nam.
If you thought this was going to shake me up,
you were wrong.
How impatient of you.
You need to let people finish their sentences.
Of course, I was wrong.
Actually, no. I was right.
Come in.
Yoo Soo Yeon isn't a stockholder.
She's not qualified to attend this meeting.
No, I am qualified to be here.
I came as a stand-in for Honorary Chairman Hong Sun Tae.
It's all my fault.
I shouldn't have fallen apart.
I think by stepping down,
I've made her into a monster.
I had no idea...
she would've sacrificed that many people to protect SA Group.
Even now isn't too late.
You should set things right, Father.
I need your help.
Even so, if you add up the shares of President Hong Jin Woo,
my daughter Hong Jin A, and mine,
I have the most right to decide in this stockholders' meeting.
It seems Chairman Cha hasn't gotten the picture yet.
You see...
Hong Jin A,
my daughter-in-law, had her shares...
transferred to me before the wedding.
You must have forgotten.
You had bought a lot of stocks under Jin A's name.
Fortunately, those will help us out a lot.
Oh, those stocks.
The promissory note and memorandum.
I already had her sign them.
(Promissory Note, Debtor: Hong Jin A)
Until you pay back the money I used to buy those stocks,
those belong to me.
Double-check with Jin A.
Yes, ma'am.
What is it? I'm busy.
Did you transfer all your stocks to Chairman Ko Mi Sook?
Yes. I gave them to her.
Did you also sign the new promissory note and memorandum?
Yes.
I did it so she wouldn't make Dong Ha and I get divorced.
Why?
(SA Group Emergency Stockholders' Meeting)
It's true.
Jin A voluntarily transferred her stocks to Chairman Ko.
She also signed the new promissory note and memorandum.
(SA Group Emergency Stockholders' Meeting)
It seems everyone is here, so I will proceed with the meeting.
Bareun Partners, the largest stockholder of SA Group,
would like to propose the dismissal of Chairman Cha Hwa Yeong,
who is deemed unfit as the chairman of SA Group,
for discussion and vote for it...
in today's emergency stockholders' meeting.
What evidence shows that I'm unfit as the chairman?
On what basis are you claiming such absurdity?
I believe you know it better than any of us.
Must I lay it out for you?
If it's regarding the recent US branch issue, we already handled it.
There are no problems anymore.
The owner's qualifications are not proven by performance or profit alone.
Chairman Cha Hwa Yeong's moral flaw is the biggest reason.
It is highly likely to impact SA Group's reputation negatively.
Let's stop here if you're going to go on ambiguously.
Cornering me without a clear basis...
for why I'm not qualified as a chairman can only be seen as...
an impure intention to take over SA Group.
There is evidence.
(SA Group Emergency Stockholders' Meeting)
This man here, Mr. Jung Tae Hoon,
was ordered by Chairman Cha to set up her daughter-in-law...
Ms. Yoo Soo Yeon's affair.
Remember?
No. I don't know that man.
Stop denouncing me without proof.
Mr. Jung, you simply have to add this to Ms. Yoo Soo Yeon's drink as ordered.
Then take her to the hotel room, right?
And send you a couple of photos after.
No harm will come to me. Am I correct?
I'm Cha Hwa Yeong.
Who in Korea can you trust if you can't trust me?
That's not my voice.
That's fake. Yes, it was made up.
Anyone can tell it's your voice, Chairman Cha.
I knew weaseling out was your specialty.
So here we have a confirmation document...
from an expert that the voice in that recording...
matches your voice 99.999 percent.
(SA Group Emergency Stockholders' Meeting)
I heard today was the stockholders' meeting.
I wonder if it's proceeding well.
I feel wronged, but let's say that was me.
I'll apologize. Happy?
I had accepted a daughter-in-law I wasn't satisfied with.
Are you saying what I had personally done...
as a mother for my son's sake deems me unfit as the chairman?
Shouldn't you keep private and public matters separate?
I doubt anyone can hold their heads up...
if I bring up any of your family affairs.
What loss did I make SA Group suffer by kicking out my daughter-in-law?
You're a pro at inciting the crowd.
Until when must we put up with her gibberish?
Bring him in to finish the meeting.
(SA Group Emergency Stockholders' Meeting)
Whatever that man's about to say is all a lie. He's crazy.
He's not in his right mind.
She's right.
I am crazy.
I am feeble-minded,
and I don't have much longer to live.
The one who made me into this mess...
was that woman.
That woman had locked me up in a mental institution...
for over 20 years.
This is serious.
Stop the nonsense.
He's lying. I have never done such a thing.
Knowing you'd say that,
we already received the testimony from the director of that institution.
The lips you sealed with money...
can be opened with money.
Why did Chairman Cha Hwa Yeong lock you up in a mental institution?
The patent that helped SA Group strive until this day...
was developed by Moran Footwear.
It's the very patent that I had sold to Chairman Cha.
But Chairman Cha...
never gave me the money she had promised in return.
Rather, she had tried to kill me by setting the factory on fire...
the day we met.
That's not true. It's not.
When I went over to question her after barely making it out alive,
she locked me up in a mental institution,
made a homeless man without a family look like me,
and had me declared dead.
Shut your mouth.
You should be the one to shut your mouth.
What did you say?
At this point, aren't you curious?
Curious as to why I'm going this far?
It must be because you feel inferior to me.
Such a low life as yourself can't even come close to me.
Why would I feel a sense of inferiority to you, a murderer?
A murderer? Watch your mouth.
Yes. You are a murderer.
Kang In Han.
My husband, Kang In Han.
You killed him.
You killed my husband, Kang In Han.
Moran Footwear's Kang In Han?
Ko Mi Sook. Your husband was Kang In Han?
So that's why you're pulling such a crazy stunt?
You heard her, didn't you?
Those people had intentionally approached me...
to bring both SA Group and me down. They're framing me right now.
Because of personal ill feelings,
they're raking up something from 20-plus years ago...
they can't even prove.
If so, let's talk about something that's happening now.
This is the second set of books that Chairman Cha keeps.
(SA Group Emergency Stockholders' Meeting)
- What? - Second set of books?
No way.
I definitely checked that nothing was taken from the safe.
But how?
The copy you saw in your safe was a fake.
Backstabbing is really tricky,
isn't it?
You used company funds in various ways.
Please look at the back of the materials I gave out.
(SA Group Emergency Stockholders' Meeting)
There is so much evidence and many witnesses.
It's up to you all to determine whether we're framing her...
or telling the truth.
You need to decide if we are to bring this woman down...
and take away the crown that she doesn't deserve.
Kang Dong Ha. How dare you?
We will now proceed with the vote...
to determine whether or not to fire Chairman Cha.
I will announce the results of the vote.
Chairman Cha has been fired.
(Chairman's Office)
(President's Office)
Did you know...
what was going to happen today?
Did you know who Chairman Ko really was?
How could you do this?
You should've at least told me.
How could you let me be fooled like that?
Telling you wouldn't have changed anything.
I could've at least tried to convince Mother.
Convince her? To do what?
Were you going to convince her to step down as the chairman?
I could've convinced her to apologize.
We could've given her a chance.
Are you saying your mother ended up in this situation because...
I didn't give her the chance to apologize?
That's not what I said.
Do you think...
your mother would've felt remorse for bringing down Moran Footwear...
and ruining Mr. Kang's family?
Do you think she would've apologized for driving Seo Yu Ra...
crazy out of her need for revenge?
Do you think she would've admitted to ordering Mr. Kim...
to kill my dad?
Why aren't you answering?
You know it too.
Your mother would never do any of those things on her own.
She had more than enough time to admit her wrongdoings and fix them,
but she didn't do anything.
She never sees her own faults.
I know you're her son, but you can't take her side on everything.
Everything you and Hong Jin A enjoyed throughout your lives...
came from the suffering of those people.
Congratulations, Mr. Kang,
I mean, Chairman Kang.
I did get elected as the chairman at the stockholders' meeting,
but I haven't taken office yet.
You don't have to be so formal.
I should be.
You worked so hard to get here.
I'm sure your father is smiling down at you from up above.
Thank you. It was all thanks to you.
Now it's your turn.
You need to take Chairman Cha to court.
You need to make her pay for what she's done.
How dare you come here?
This is the chairman's office. It's going to be my son's office soon.
Do you think I'm just going to let him take my office?
You're a big talker.
What are you going to do about it, Cha Hwa Yeong?
I should've known when you got drunk and acted like Kang In Han.
I should've known when you told me you were Kang Dong Ha's mom.
You were the one who tried to take my family's fortune.
I lost so much because of you.
Who are you trying to blame?
Shut your mouth.
You tried to act so high and mighty,
but you ended up shooting yourself in the foot.
It's your fault for thinking that your family was better than others...
and treating others as if they were beneath you.
Why do you think...
I made my precious son join your horrible family?
I had to become your family, you monster.
You didn't doubt me for one second...
when I bought all of those shares in your daughter's name. Why?
Because your precious, noble daughter...
was connected to my family.
Why are you doing this to me?
Park Sang Do was the one who stole your husband's patent.
Park Sang Do was struggling financially,
and you used that fact to make him do your bidding.
Fine. Let's say...
that Moran Footwear went down because of me,
but I didn't kill your husband.
Your husband drank himself to death.
Why are you blaming me for that?
Why are you blaming me for your husband's shortcomings?
Shut your mouth.
I want to kill you...
this very moment,
but I'm only holding back because I don't want Dong Ha...
to have to be the son of a murderer.
Don't provoke me.
You can't beat me.
"After the storm of scandals,"
"SA Group gets a new owner."
Ji Eun. Does this mean...
that Soo Yeon and Chairman Ko won?
- It does, right? - Yes, it does.
It means that they really crushed Chairman Cha.
Oh, finally.
She's finally about to be punished.
Honey.
It's all over now.
I've waited for this day for so long,
even my hair...
has turned gray.
I'm now...
just waiting for the day that I go to you.
I'm going to come to you...
with my head held high...
and all dressed up,
so please come out to greet me...
and tell me that I did a good job.
I just want to snuggle into your arms...
and rest.
I want to rest.
You're home?
I was talking to your father for the first time in a while.
It's a happy day.
- Are you done? - I am.
Should we have a drink?
I heard that you took my divorce papers,
the ones I was going to send to Jin A.
Oh, that.
I was going to send the papers to Chairman Cha's house, but I forgot.
Don't look at me like that.
I only delayed it a little.
I was really going to send it.
I was worried that she would tell her mom.
She said she would tell her mom everything...
if you two were to get a divorce. What could I have done?
She said that she would only sign the promissory note and agreement...
if I signed an agreement saying that I wouldn't make her divorce you.
She was going to ruin our plan. What could I have done? I had to stop her.
We could've stopped her even while getting a divorce.
Hong Jin A realized that I wanted SA Group.
She's not sane, you know.
Provoking her would've ruined our plan.
That's what you think.
I clearly told you from the beginning that I would be able to get revenge...
on my own, without marrying Jin A.
I know. I'm sure you would've been able to.
I know this must sound like an excuse,
but I wanted a faster and safer option.
Jin A took the bait without us even trying.
The chance to beat Cha Hwa Yeong was right in front of my eyes.
How could I have let that go?
I'd be lying if I said I didn't regret making you two get married.
I did regret it.
I pushed you into that fiery pit of misery...
because I was blinded by my desire for revenge.
That's why my heart aches so much right now.
Here.
Get divorced.
I did sign a contract saying that I wouldn't let you two get divorced,
but apparently, it has no legal power because I'm a third party to the marriage.
I checked with Lawyer Kim.
You can do whatever you want now.
You don't have to wait anymore.
I know you're wondering...
whether I fulfilled my own desires...
while using you as an excuse.
You're right.
I hurt Dong Ha,
my precious son,
because of my own greed.
I hurt him.
I'm sorry, honey.
I'm so sorry, Dong Ha.
I'm sorry, Dong Ha.
Are you insane?
How could you take the side...
of those who were trying to take down SA Group?
SA Group isn't yours. Why are you so upset?
Why isn't it mine?
It's mine. It's my company.
It's my kingdom that I built. It's my everything.
Take it back right this instant.
Get the board of directors together and null today's vote.
Say that your vote doesn't count because you were coerced...
to give power of attorney to Yoo Soo Yeon.
No, I wasn't coerced. I chose to do it.
Honey.
Please don't call me that any longer.
I'm going to proceed with the divorce suit.
I already talked to my lawyer.
Who says we're getting a divorce?
I do.
I want to divorce you, Cha Hwa Yeong,
so please get out of my sight...
and get out of this house.
No, I won't leave. Why should I?
We own this house together.
Half of it is mine. You don't have the right to tell me to leave.
There's nothing so lowly as someone obsessed with money.
You're really impressive.
What? Lowly?
Yes. You're...
truly appalling.
Fine. Forget the house.
However, don't even think about stepping inside of SA Group from now on.
I'm going to my own kingdom. Who's to stop me?
Neither you nor anyone else has the right the stop me.
Were you the one who started the fire...
at Moran Footwear?
I guessed that you stole the patent.
You can't get a patent overnight.
You're not human. You're a monster.
No, I never did anything like that.
You're treating me like some monster...
because you were fooled by Yoo Soo Yeon.
You're the lowly one.
Mom. Why did Dong Ha become chairman of SA Group?
Was it your idea?
Mom.
You foolish girl.
How can you give away your shares without my permission?
How can you make Dong Ha chairman? Who gave you the right?
Do you know what you've done?
Mom, I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
Mom.
Mom, I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
Hong Jin A. Look at you now.
If only I hadn't gotten divorced,
I could've fixed this somehow.
If only I hadn't divorced Soo Yeon...
No, that's not right.
I should've just trusted her from the start.
I did feel some relief knowing...
that she would be punished.
I was so worried that she would...
harm you in some way.
Mom, don't worry. I'm stronger now.
Also, here.
This...
This is your dad's phone.
It was in the safe where Chairman Cha kept the second set of books.
The sim card is gone, and the phone has been wiped clean.
So I wasn't able to find anything on there.
I see.
It's still one of his belongings.
I'm glad that we have it back.
Mom. Just wait a bit longer.
I'm going to make her pay...
for what Cha Hwa Yeong did to dad.
All of it.
Eun Ji.
It's your dad.
It's me.
Mr. Park isn't doing well.
He has approximately two or three months to live.
Seo Yu Ra. Please wake up.
Your father is desperately calling for you.
Soo Yeon texted me.
Mr. Park isn't doing well.
His condition is getting worse.
What about Seo Yu Ra?
There are no signs of her waking up anytime soon.
I know he's a bad person for selling my brother-in-law's patent,
but I feel bad for him.
He spent 20 years in a psychiatric ward.
He's paid for his wrongdoings.
You should forgive him.
I hope those two can meet.
I feel bad for them.
This must be why I love you.
You're so kind.
(Divorce Lawsuit, Complainant: Kang Dong Ha)
Mom. It's an emergency.
I didn't get any sleep.
I don't have the energy to talk to you right now.
I'm about to lose my mind.
Hong Jin A. Do you know what you've done to our company?
Are you living in your own world?
You gave your shares to Ko Mi Sook without my permission.
What else do you have to say?
Dong Ha wants a divorce.
He sent a lawsuit notice.
What?
How dare he?
- This can't happen. - Right, Mom?
How can Dong Ha and I get divorced? It doesn't make any sense, right?
Jin A has to stay in Kang Dong Ha's family somehow.
That's my only chance of reclaiming SA Group.
That cannot happen.
You two cannot get divorced.
Oh, my. I must be getting old.
My feet hurt. My back hurts.
Welcome home, Mother.
Why are you here?
Hello, Chairman Ko.
(Gold Mask)
I'm puzzled. What are all these articles?
- What? - Everyone has misunderstood.
I will kill Yoo Soo Yeon.
Hey, Miss. Are you okay?
Once a woman gets married, she is the ghost of the husband's house.
You got the divorce petition, right?
I have nothing more to say. See you at court.
Figure out a way to throw Cha Hwa Yeong into jail.
I have a proposal for you, President Hong.
