(It's My Life)
Because of the two of you,
two young men's lives were ruined overnight.
Are you two not afraid of the consequences?
What?
At first,
if Ms. Choi gets punished for what she did,
I was going to help you get released.
But I've changed my mind.
What? What do you mean?
Are you saying you'll let me rot in jail for the rest of my life?
Why are you being like this all of a sudden?
We settled this matter before.
Listen up.
Nam Jin, whom you abducted,
isn't Ms. Kim So Young's son.
He is...
Ms. Choi Soo Hee's son.
What?
What? What do you mean?
Nam Jin is Ms. Choi's son?
- Ms. Yang! - Ma'am, please be careful.
- My gosh. - Have a seat here.
- Are you all right? - Ms. Yang.
- What do we do? - Oh, gosh.
Ms. Yang. Ms. Yang!
Hey. How is it going with the stores?
Well, our sales are increasing slowly,
but the other team's sales started soaring suddenly.
Let's not think about the other team's sales.
We just have to keep going at our pace.
That's true. However,
there's something odd about it.
Something odd? What are you saying?
They've been getting bulk orders in hundreds.
And the shipping addresses are all the same.
Also, all of it was paid in cash.
Bulk orders?
But their clothes are not uniform. Why would anyone place bulk orders?
That doesn't make sense.
Something smells fishy.
Can you find out the shipping address and the buyer?
If we ask the stores, we can get the shipping address.
But I'm sure the buyer's information is confidential though.
Could the other team be buying up their product?
Mr. Heo,
I'm sure you're mistaken.
That can't be true.
How does that make any sense?
Ms. Yang, please pretend you don't know anything for now.
I'll take care of the rest.
Mr. Bang and I should leave now as the prosecution investigation...
will begin shortly.
I will visit you later and tell you the details.
Wait. Must he...
be investigated?
Pardon me?
If...
what you said is true,
that means his own mother abducted him.
What if Nam Jin finds out?
That means he made his own mother get punished.
Do you think Nam Jin can bear with it?
I understand.
I'll call the prosecutor in charge and delay the reinvestigation.
Mr. Bang, go back and wait for my call.
Okay.
Sun Ja, shall I take you home?
Meeting you...
is the biggest mistake I've ever made in my life.
Never show up in front of me again.
If you show up again, I will end my own life!
- All right. - Let's go.
Goodbye.
On the day of the incident, did you talk to Bang Cheol Sang,
who stole Ahn Nam Jin, in front of the newborn nursery?
Yes, I did.
I knew him in my hometown.
I remember I ran into him and said hello to him.
Was he holding a baby when you met him?
- No. - Then why was he at the hospital?
I'm not sure.
Since it was more than 30 years ago, I can't remember it clearly.
Have you ever met him before or after...
- the day of the incident? - No, I haven't.
The nurse said that Mr. Bang...
visited you at the hospital a couple of times.
Well...
Did he?
I think he did.
Didn't you instigate Mr. Bang...
to abduct Ahn Nam Jin?
No.
Why would I have done such a thing?
You're the one who would've benefited the most...
from Mr. Ahn's disappearance.
You have a sufficient motive. Don't you think?
Listen.
Isn't suspecting and cornering someone...
only with suspicion and motive...
violation of human rights?
Show me some evidence.
Solid evidence that I can't deny.
I believe finding evidence is your job as a prosecutor.
Bang Cheol Sang will be investigated this afternoon, so after that,
everything will be confirmed.
Bang Cheol Sang, that jerk, will be investigated?
I'm sure he left Korea.
You may leave for now.
I'll send you the second summon soon.
Yes, sir.
You want me to change the date of Bang Cheol Sang's summon?
Okay. I'll do that.
Managing Director Choi Soo Hee?
I just finished the investigation with her.
Of course. Just as expected.
Yes.
Seung Joo, what are you waiting for? Come on out.
Gosh. I'm coming.
Hello.
Are you stepping out?
Yes. I'm going to visit the late Chairman Ahn's grave.
Are you going to Grandpa's grave?
Something complicated happened, so I'll ask him a favor.
I thought you never asked anyone a favor. This is unexpected.
Whenever I face a hard time,
I ask him a favor.
He's just smiling warmly in his photo.
But it feels like he tells me how to resolve the problem somehow.
We're heading towards Paju too.
- Shall I drive you there? - No. That's okay.
If an old man like me joins you, you'll be uncomfortable.
I'm not a tactless person.
We won't be uncomfortable. Let's go together, Mr. Heo.
By the way, why are you going to Paju?
In fact, someone is buying up Team One's product...
and store them in a warehouse in Paju. We'll go check it out.
- Hoarding their product? - Yes.
Are they doing such an underhanded thing to increase their sales?
That's exactly my point.
They say that good people always end up getting good results.
If you go on just as you have, you'll get a good result.
Absolutely.
Get some rest now. You shouldn't overwork yourself.
Okay.
- Tell me. - About what?
Why are our team's sales increasing?
That's because our product is popular.
Aren't you going to tell me?
No, I won't tell you.
You're unwell.
I don't want to make you worry.
It's my mom, right?
My mom is hoarding our product, isn't she?
The stores have been getting bulk orders.
All of it was paid in cash.
The shipping address is a warehouse in Paju.
Anyone can tell what's going on.
I don't know anything about it. So stop asking me.
The emergency board meeting is tomorrow, right?
Yes.
Call my mom.
Ms. Choi said she'd be busy today.
- Then I should go and see her. - Mr. Choi.
I can't just let my mom be dismissed like this.
I can't see her hit rock bottom...
and go down with no hope.
She's my mother.
All right.
I'll ask her to come.
Yes, sir.
You want me to change the date of Bang Cheol Sang's summon?
The one who called him must be Mr. Heo.
Did Mr. Heo change the date...
of Bang Cheol Sang's summon?
Could Band Cheol Sang, that jerk,
have taken my money, but didn't leave Korea?
What on earth happened?
Is tomorrow's emergency board meeting about terminating you?
It looks like they plotted together to oust me.
But there's no way they can do it.
How are they going to terminate me?
You said you had resolved everything. You even apologized too.
Then why do they have to do this?
How would I know?
Si Woo is so ill that his life hangs by a thread.
But his own brother is trying to kick me out of the company?
Don't just stand here. You should make a plan.
What plan can I make?
They've already worked out a plan.
Goodness. Should I meet with Mr. Lee?
Mr. Lee?
Stay out of it. I'll sort it out.
(Ahn Seok Ho, November 21, 1940 to November 22, 2018)
Chairman Ahn, I'm here.
What's it like there?
Your son and daughter-in-law...
are well too, right?
I have no idea what to do,
so I'm here to ask you for help.
Fate is such a cruel thing.
Your grandson, whom you looked everywhere for...
in the past 30 years,
was Si Woo, not Nam Jin.
What should I do now?
Please help me find...
a good solution.
(Hyunkang Group)
(Minbong Courier Service)
Make sure you record that.
Hello!
It'll be great if you can finish quickly.
- Please hurry. - Sure.
I feel guilty about doing this.
Did you get photos of Mr. Jo and Ms. Kim?
Yes, I did.
But my hands were shaky because of you. I'm not sure if they look okay.
Gosh, seriously. This isn't the time for a joke.
I don't think I can donate my liver after all.
Why do you say that?
I've developed a heart problem because of you.
Here, feel my heart.
For goodness' sake.
Hello.
Has everything been well, Seon Hui?
Yes.
I'd like to have a chat with you.
These clothes were made by my team at work.
I want to give you these as a gift.
Thank you, but I cannot accept this.
You got the wrong idea.
I recommended that fabric dye with good intentions.
I had no idea there would be a problem with the dye.
I don't know those things.
As a daughter, I cannot sit back and watch my dad...
getting fired from his job.
Why would he get fired?
Nothing bad will happen to him.
Your dad and I are friends.
Do you think I'll let my friend get fired from his job?
I'm your friend?
Dad.
I bet you looked down on me.
My sewing factory went bankrupt, my wife divorced me,
and I've been mooching off Nam Jin.
On top of that, I worshipped you and called you my angel.
Is that why you thought you could take advantage of me...
however you wanted?
Why must you spin it like that?
I always thought of you as a good friend.
As you know, you were the only person at home...
that I could confide in.
If you actually thought of me as a friend, even for a moment,
admit what you did and step down.
If you do that, I'll believe you.
Did Nam Jin put you up to this?
I guess he thinks...
Hyunkang will become his if he manages to oust me.
Nam Jin would never make me do something like this.
And I'm over 50 now, I'd never follow such an order.
You see,
I really liked you.
But you're the one who stomped all over...
my genuine feelings for you.
An awl hidden inside a pocket will eventually stick its head out.
If you keep trying to push it back inside and hide it,
it'll only get thrusted into your skin.
- Seon Hui, let's go have dinner. - Okay.
- I'm stepping out for dinner. - All right, see you soon.
You're the one at fault. Why are you getting all mad at me?
What wrong did I do?
Was it wrong to be nice and friendly to our guests at work?
You could've just been polite to them.
Why act all cutesy and smile with your eyes?
When did I act cutesy and smile with my eyes?
I don't want you to meet that man from now on.
And don't wear skirts to work.
Also, tie your hair back and don't wear any makeup.
My goodness, are you jealous now?
What, then? Do you expect me to put up with our guests...
looking at your legs?
Do you suffer from Othello syndrome?
What is the matter with you?
What? Othello syndrome?
Watch what you say.
I'm going to tell Seung Joo and Mr. Ahn on you.
Are we kids or what? Why tell them about our fight?
I guess you know that you should be embarrassed.
It's not because I'm embarrassed!
You should be embarrassed.
Yes. When Mr. Lee is testifying,
let's show the componential analysis and the call recording...
with the company on the projector screen.
And when Seon Hui is testifying,
- we'll play the recording. - Okay.
Let's send the details about their bulk orders along with the photos.
Oh, my. I think we have enough evidence...
to oust Ms. Choi for good.
Gosh, I'm exhausted. Oh, boy.
I'm so tired. My gosh.
I think I'm too tired to go home.
Can you let me sleep here tonight?
No, no way. What's this trick you're pulling?
My gosh, what do I do with Nam Jin now?
If he finds out, his world will be turned upside down.
You said Nam Jin is a lightweight, right?
As you know, Ms. Choi can't drink a single drop of alcohol.
Oh, gosh.
My goodness.
And come to think of it, Si Woo is...
allergic to milk.
Even as a kid, his stomach got upset whenever he drank milk.
And the thing is,
the late Ms. Kim was just like that.
So Chairman Ahn...
looked for his grandson all his life when he was right beside him.
My gosh, what should we do now?
This is all Ms. Choi's karma biting her back.
Blinded by her ambition to make sure her son can inherit the company,
she mistook the son of Ms. Kim, whom she considered her enemy,
as her child and looked after him all her life.
How...
How am I going to face Si Woo's mom...
I mean, how am I going to face Ms. Choi from now on?
I don't think I can face her.
I don't think I can either.
I wish all of this was just a dream.
I wish someone could tell me...
that it was nothing but a dream when I wake up.
Yeon Ji, try this.
I pressed the leftover rice onto the pan and sprinkled sugar.
It's so good.
I have no appetite.
What's wrong?
Are you worried about something?
I think Ms. Choi will be dismissed from her position tomorrow.
Ms. Choi?
Why would she be dismissed?
To be honest, I didn't tell you,
but Ms. Choi has done a lot of wrong things.
She did?
What kind of things did she do?
This must be kept between us.
The person who abducted Mr. Ahn, of our opponent's team,
is Ms. Choi.
What? Why?
She probably did it to make her son the successor of Hyunkang.
But Nam Jin is Ms. Choi's son.
Why did she steal her own son?
I can't understand her.
What are you talking about?
Why is Mr. Ahn Nam Jin Ms. Choi's son?
Ms. Choi's son is Mr. Choi Si Woo.
What is it? What's going on? You know something.
Why did you say Mr. Ahn is Ms. Choi's son?
- Why? - No. No, no. I...
I... I made a slip of tongue.
Ms. Choi's son is Mr. Choi Si Woo.
Hi, Mom.
I couldn't stop by because I had so much work to do.
I'm relieved as Jin Ah is here with you.
How are you feeling?
I'll give you two some privacy.
- I'll go to a convenience store. - Okay.
Why? What do you want to say to me, my son?
I think you should...
resign before the emergency board meeting.
I should resign?
Why should I resign?
I know everything.
Everything you've done until now.
What do you know about?
You abducted Nam Jin when he was a newborn baby,
ruined Nam Jin's team's sales for the third contest,
and even bought up our team's clothes.
Who told you that?
Did Jin Ah tell you that?
Jin Ah didn't say anything.
It's just that the time came...
for me to find out about everything.
About Nam Jin's abduction...
Mr. Heo wrongfully accused me.
I'm being investigated now,
and I'll be acquitted soon.
As for the accusation of recommending the dye,
it's true. But...
It doesn't matter whether it's true or not.
What matters to me is that I hate to see my mother...
being criticized by other people for things like that.
How can I step down?
You and Hyunkang are everything I have.
I have to keep my job until you return.
Mom, I love you.
You sincerely dedicated your whole life to me.
I don't see...
you, who has done it for me,
being dragged down by others.
When I return to work, I'll help you...
get your position back.
So please...
resign yourself.
All other people...
may judge you,
but I can't judge you.
I know how you lived your life for my sake.
How could I judge you?
Si Woo.
I think it's time to tell the truth.
The mother and son are hurting each other.
I can't let anything happen further.
(Managing Director Choi Soo Hee)
What is it?
I have something to tell you.
I went to the prosecutor and told the truth yesterday.
And I will attend the board meeting that you called again...
just as it's scheduled.
So please don't get on my nerve, and leave.
This is more important than that.
The most important thing for me right now...
is when Si Woo will get the surgery.
If it's not regarding that matter, please leave.
What is this?
See it yourself.
(The paternity test for Choi Soo Hee and Choi Si Woo is negative.)
What are you trying to do?
Are you saying that Si Woo is not my son?
Did you even manipulate the DNA test result...
to oust Si Woo?
(It's My Life)
I won't go down alone.
No matter how hard you two try,
I can see right through you.
On August 18, 1989, at Hope OB-GYN Clinic,
only two babies were born.
Get out. Get out of my office right now!
- Mr. Ahn. - Wait.
I have something to tell you.
Do you mind, Mr. Ahn?
