That's right.
I heard you saw Carry at Bukhan River.
Whose ashes are spread there?
Who is it?
Someone I know.
Who?
Someone you don't know. I'm going to wash up.
Someone close to you that I don't know? Who's that?
Just somebody.
Okay. Wash up and rest.
Okay.
(Episode 40)
Mom, Son.
They just made theirs.
What is it?
This family only consists of mom and son.
I'm invisible.
You went golfing.
Did someone we know...
have their ashes spread at Bukhan River?
What do you mean?
Who does that nowadays?
What is it?
Nothing.
He was mourning someone his mom doesn't know that sadly?
If it's someone he can't even tell his mom,
who could it be?
Mr. Koo?
What was he hiding?
Was it...
the DNA test report?
Then the person whose ashes were spread there...
was his biological father?
He went because of his birth mom?
It wasn't even his birth mom.
He went all the way there to mourn someone I made up.
And why did Carry have to see him?
Why was she there?
Her parents' ashes were spread there.
A lot of people spread ashes at rivers back in the day.
I hope Yoon Kyung doesn't suspect anything.
"Mom and Daughter."
Isn't it nice?
Whenever I look at this painting,
I feel like your sister is doing well somewhere,
so it gives me peace.
What about you?
If that's how you feel, it must be true.
I hope...
Yoo Ra is doing well just like the painting.
I didn't get to look at the painting because of your wedding matter,
but I'll enjoy it as much as I want now.
The mom and daughter must love each other, right?
Of course.
They must cherish each other, love each other,
and make sacrifices for each other.
They're probably the most special mom and daughter in the world.
These are on the raw materials...
for the detox line and the entry of the skincare clinic into China.
Seo Eun Ha is in a good mood because of the entry into China,
so we'll let her enjoy it some more.
Let's strike J Group first.
You took care of the raw material supplier, right?
Yes. They officially closed down.
How is the Customer Agency doing?
As soon as they storm the factory, the test results will be out.
Mr. Kang is on standby.
Okay. Good work everyone.
Someone I know.
Who?
Someone you don't know. I'm going to wash up.
Who is it, that he can't tell me?
His dad's ashes aren't there.
Why am I so anxious?
Eun Ha wouldn't have told him, would she?
She wouldn't have.
Should I ask Carry how he looked?
Carry, do you have a minute to meet right now?
What is it?
Speak freely.
When you saw Hae Joon at the river...
Did he really not tell you whose ashes were spread there?
He didn't say.
Didn't you ask?
He just said it was someone he knew.
How did he seem when you saw him?
He seemed a bit down.
And sad. That's why...
I assumed it was someone he was close to.
I see.
If it was someone he was close to,
wouldn't you know the person as well?
There's no one I know there.
Is it not his biological father?
Ma'am. You have an urgent call.
Excuse me for a minute.
He looked sad and down.
Yes, Danny.
Send the Consumer Agency staff to the factory in an hour.
And have Mr. Kang stand by near the office.
It's strange that Hae Joon decided to break up with Jennis,
and that he suddenly wants to marry Se Ra.
If he didn't hear something from Eun Ha,
why would he say he'll marry Se Ra?
(Eun Ha)
Hey. Where are you?
The department store? I'll meet you there.
Oh my.
Are you leaving?
Yes. I have to meet someone urgently.
I'll see you again soon.
Have a nice day.
Ms. Oh.
Yes, ma'am.
Follow Cho Yoon Kyung.
Yes, ma'am.
What is it, that you came all the way here?
I didn't want to talk to you ever again,
but let's swear on our 40-year-long friendship and be honest.
Is it that again?
I told you over and over that I didn't.
I shouldn't have threatened you.
This is such a nuisance.
Why did Hae Joon suddenly break up with Jennis...
and agree to marry Se Ra?
How would I know that?
I don't even know my own daughter. How would I know your son?
Why don't you ask him?
I'm too scared to ask.
Why?
Is Hae Joon...
acting weird or something?
Carry said she saw him at Bukhan River,
and that the ashes of someone he knows were spread there.
Did you spread his biological dad's ashes there?
No.
Then what's the problem?
Hae Joon knows so many people.
You're being overly sensitive.
I'm worried...
if he knows.
How could he?
You said his dad's ashes weren't spread there.
It may be someone you don't know.
Stop overreacting.
If it's someone important to him, there's no way I wouldn't know.
Why do I keep suspecting you?
It's not like I can cut myself open and show it to you.
Hey. It's exhausting being suspected. Stop it already.
If by chance you told him...
It wasn't me!
I hope not.
Hey. Are you just leaving?
What did he do...
that he made Yoon Kyung so nervous?
What if...
she asks him?
She'll find out I told him.
Hey. Come to my clinic right now.
What is it?
It's about your mom.
Hae Joon...
really isn't Koo Jae Myung's son.
Cho Yoon Kyung suspects Seo Eun Ha of telling him,
and Seo Eun Ha insists she didn't.
I feel bad for Cho Yoon Kyung who believes Seo Eun Ha...
is her friend.
I think she's being very patient with her...
because she saved her son's life.
That's a joke too.
A doctor's job is to save her patient's life.
Why is saving her friend's son something to brag about?
She never even apologized for killing my baby.
I agree.
But it's strange.
If Hae Joon is Cho Yoon Kyung's son,
he's J Group's blood.
He has no reason to be forced into marriage by Seo Eun Ha.
That's right.
Whose ashes were spread in that river?
What has gotten into you,
that you want to eat with me?
Did you cause trouble again?
I did not.
I ordered a lot. It's all of your favorites, so eat up.
Can I eat this?
Are you going to drop a bomb on me once we're done eating?
It's because I've done a lot of wrong things to you.
I wanted to eat comfortably with you...
like normal fathers and sons.
What's wrong with him?
He even left home because he hated me.
Here, Father. Try this.
Forget it.
I'll feed myself.
So, what you're saying is...
we're below normal, right?
It's because I'm inadequate.
I'll try.
Although I don't know if it'll be enough in your eyes.
I may not say it,
but I've been so patient.
You're sitting on top of the pyramid in our family.
I'm on the bottom.
You are not.
Mom loves you.
Of course, you love her more.
Love.
If you and I are drowning, whom would your mom save?
Would she save me or you?
If she had 10 lives, she'd use them all to save you.
She'd watch me drown and save only you.
My love is aimed at your mom,
but your mom's love is only aimed at you.
I will save you, Father.
What?
If you and I are drowning,
I'll save you.
What's wrong with him? He's scaring me.
Are you sick?
I mean it.
But if you and Mom are drowning,
I have to save Mom. Please be understanding.
You jerk.
Of course, you should save your mom...
because I will survive myself no matter what.
Okay.
Is he dying or something?
Why is he acting different?
You should've called first.
What's so good about this place that you want to stay here?
I heard you told Dad you'd come back home.
Oh my gosh.
It smells bad. I'll take them out.
What do you need to keep from me, that you ran out into the cold?
It smells, that's why.
Go inside. It's cold out.
What was in that envelope?
I should've checked back then.
He snatched it away because it was important.
I should look for it.
Ms. Jung?
Yes, ma'am.
Did you see an envelope in Hae Joon's room?
No, I didn't.
Is it important?
No. Don't tell him though.
Okay.
Mom thinks I know?
That's right.
Why would she?
- Did you... - Not me,
you.
How sloppy were you with your emotions,
that your mom questioned me?
I was?
I heard you saw Carry at Bukhan River.
Whose ashes were spread there anyway?
Did you...
find your birth mom?
I went to Borough Hall and found someone...
who died during childbirth whose body was never claimed.
Do you have proof she's your birth mom?
There's a possibility.
I wanted to mourn her even if she had nothing to do with me.
I felt like I needed to do that to feel better.
Fine.
I understand.
But why did you have to see Carry?
What else did my mom say?
She thinks you know something about your biological father...
since you said you mourned someone without telling her.
She questioned why you dumped Jennis...
and decided to marry Se Ra too.
She can't find out.
Of course not.
She kept hounding me and questioning me.
I had a hard time making things up.
If she finds out you're not her real son,
your mom will just die.
You know that, right?
Lie about the person whose ashes were spread there...
and calm your mom down.
She's gullible,
so she'll believe anything you say.
Okay.
You're the one...
who wanted to take this to our graves.
You shouldn't break our promise.
Were you eating with Father until now?
Yes.
Include me too, next time.
You need to look after me.
The employees need to see a difference.
Okay. I'll be mindful of that.
Hello.
Faulty fabric?
What? Give me that.
This is Koo Hae Joon. What do you mean?
Consumers filed a complaint and there was a tip about a defect?
Please rush the test as much as possible.
Okay.
It'll be done tomorrow.
The article is up.
("J Group's Detox Line's Fabric Defect Controversy")
Nice. It's good.
Daddy, be strong
You have us
Daddy, be strong
You have us
I love you, Daddy!
Sir.
Yes? What is it?
There was a complaint that our detox fabric is defective,
so the Consumer Agency is investigating.
What?
What is this all about?
Defective fabric?
It's not defective yet.
Don't do anything rash until the investigation is over.
Don't do anything rash?
This is a big problem.
What about the export to China?
We received an advance because it was a large order.
We'll have to refund all of it.
Why are you so pessimistic?
The results aren't out yet.
It would be a relief if a refund will suffice.
What if they sue for damages?
How long has it been since Koo Hae Joon caused trouble,
that Hong Se Ra has caused trouble too?
This is what you call "owner risk".
What do you mean, "owner risk"?
It was bad enough you stole my invention,
but you pulled a scam with defective fabric?
A scam? Please watch what you say until the results are out.
This is a contract violation. You know that, don't you?
(Party A and Party B will share all information)
Nora and J will share all information...
and cooperate fully.
"In the event of a violation,"
"the violator forfeits all rights from production to sales."
We'll make sure you're not harmed, so please give us some time.
I'll give you one week.
Tell Koo Jae Myung...
that I'll exercise my rights under the contract after one week.
This just happened How dare they talk about damages?
Tell them we'll talk once we have the results.
They want to terminate the contract,
saying the recent incidents make us lose credibility,
and threatened to file a complaint with the ITC.
Then just pay them the damages.
If we do, we won't have sufficient liquidity.
Mr. Koo's incident marred the company's reputation,
and our sales dropped, so the owner risk-induced...
Stop yapping about that stupid owner risk.
What did the board say?
They've become more sensitive, saying with the China incident,
it's adding insult to injury.
You may go.
The board members are out to get us, claiming it's stupid owner risk.
I pushed for the entry into China.
If we could get a big investment at a time like this...
(Carry)
Hi, Carry. Hello.
May I come see you right now?
Yes. I'll go to Pandora.
Okay.
What is it?
Mr. Kang was just here.
He says it's a contract violation, and he'll proceed...
as the contract dictates if it isn't resolved in a week.
What does it dictate?
You did great, Mr. Kang.
Hae Joon will call you.
Do as we said once you see him.
Yes. Thank you.
Hae Joon asked him to wait until they check what happened.
Hae Joon suspected the patent ever since the hostage situation.
He pushed for a co-inventorship contract to save the company.
He shot himself in the foot.
I think it'll be the end of him.
That's right.
The supplier of the defective fabric took off.
The Consumer Agency is investigating,
so it'll all fall on Se Ra.
Honey. Look into it.
Stop the articles too.
Okay.
It's problem after problem.
I hope this doesn't get too serious.
What do I do?
Come in.
Chairman Wang is here to see you.
Bring him right in.
(Hello, Dr. Seo)
(I thought you were leaving today)
(What brings you here?)
("J Group's Detox Line's Fabric Defect Controversy")
The article was posted as soon as the tip was received...
by the Consumer Agency?
Mr. Kim, come in.
Yes, sir.
Meet the reporter who wrote this and find out his source.
An additional investment?
I'm shocked about the defective fabric as well.
Please help us one more time.
It's an unfortunate situation,
but I can't invest based purely on personal relationships.
I should run the numbers and decide...
whether to withdraw the funds I've invested already.
No. I was out of line.
You've already invested a great sum.
There are other investors.
I'm sure I'll get it to work out if I ask them.
We'll overcome this quickly...
and make sure your investment does not take a loss.
Can I trust you?
Of course.
I can hear the stock prices drop.
Our company image is already in the gutter.
There's no way a new investor will pop up.
Carry was our only hope.
How did it go?
She may even pull out the money she already invested.
I called the banks, but they were all dead ends.
Hello?
Carry turned me down.
Chairman Wang?
I met with Chairman Wang.
He's leaving tonight,
but he said he'd hear you out if you meet him at his hotel.
Go quickly.
Which hotel?
(Hello, Chairman Wang. We're from J Group.)
(Hello, Chairman Wang. It's me, Koo Jae Myung.)
(It's been so long.)
(I heard from Dr. Seo)
(Let's go over there.)
(Sure)
His wife and daughter are fans of J Group.
He says you must be concerned because of all the recent events.
Tell him those were all frame jobs.
That they were schemes set up by our competitor,
and that we're dealing with them.
(We're dealing with them as we speak.)
(They were just misunderstandings.)
(That will not happen again.)
(I promise you.)
(I am interested in fashion as well.)
(I'll consider it if the terms are right.)
He'll consider it if the terms are right.
What are your terms?
I made a big decision...
and received an investment from Chairman Wang.
We can put out the fire with that.
What big decision do you mean?
We agreed to make the person he nominates...
our chief director, since that seat is vacant.
And who is that?
I don't know yet.
You said yes when you don't know who it is?
After what we went through with Jennis?
You need to be cool-headed.
What use is that if the company goes under?
If the company goes under, so does Chairman Wang.
He wouldn't nominate just anyone.
They should reinstate you. Whom did he nominate?
Whoever it is, we need to save the company first.
The person is starting work tomorrow.
Tomorrow?
I'm bowing my head to investors and getting nagged by directors...
at my late age.
My pathetic life.
I heard the new chief director is starting tomorrow.
Do you know who it is?
We'll find out tomorrow.
It's weird that the person is starting tomorrow.
It's like they were prepared.
Do we have any other options?
We have no funds, and you are on probation awaiting assignment.
This is all your fault.
Father.
You created the mess but I have to clean it up.
Stop complaining, and stay down.
As you say, I was born with a silver spoon in my mouth.
I don't have the courage to throw it away.
So, you should forget me too.
Curse me for being a jerk...
and forget me and leave.
I'll live as J Group's son.
I won't succeed in getting revenge?
No.
I swear I'll succeed.
The fabric test results will be out tomorrow?
Yes. Don't worry.
Where's Father?
He isn't answering his phone.
Ms. Jung. Take out some cold kimchi.
Yes, ma'am.
- Eat up. - Okay.
Am I overreacting, as Eun Ha says?
Lie about the person whose ashes were spread there...
and calm your mom down.
She's gullible,
so she'll believe anything you say.
The person whose ashes were spread at the river...
was a friend from grade school.
From grade school? Who?
He had transferred in during the fifth grade.
Remember the friend who made me sugar candy?
I went to his house to make sugar candy and came home late,
so you and Grandma got worried.
Sugar candy?
Yes. Do you mean the boy who lived with just his dad?
Yes.
Yes, I remember.
You came home one day from school,
and just stood there, crying your eyes out,
saying he didn't have a mom.
You said you felt so sorry for him...
because he lived with just his dad without a mom,
and cried so sadly.
That's right.
What a shame.
How did he die at such a young age?
Welcome home.
Why weren't you answering your phone?
You know I turn off my phone during important meetings.
I ate already.
Who's the new chief director?
I'll tell you tomorrow.
Who is it?
I don't know either.
Who is it, that it's such a big secret?
- Wasn't she fired? - She was fired.
Hello, we meet again.
What are you doing here?
I'm Jennis Han, the new chief director.
The new chief director?
This is my personal assistant.
I'm Danny Jung.
(Gracious Revenge)
This is a declaration of war.
This was planned.
What is Chairman Wang's relationship with Jennis?
He's her sugar daddy.
Talk about going from bad to worse.
I wonder where you fled to.
How dare you show up like this and stab me in the back?
I didn't expect to show up like this either.
Life is amusing, isn't it?
What are you doing here?
How dare you show your face here?
I told you, I'm J Group's chief director, Jennis Han.
Who are you?
Why did you show up in Hae Joon's life again?
Make sure to get evidence.
It's your turn to get revenge.
