You're saying you can't get a hold of Suk Pyo either, right?
I see.
What's going on? Still no word from him?
No.
Where?
Then please text me the address.
No, you don't have to do that.
Right, the key for the gate.
All right, then. I'll wait for you.
What's going on?
You still can't get a hold of Suk Pyo?
Had I known this would happen, I wouldn't have left him alone.
He's making me so worried.
Is it because of the video clip?
"The video clip"? What are you talking about?
I'll show you later.
Can you think of any place where he might be now?
Secretary Lee thinks that he might be at the house in Seongbuk-dong.
He's on his way here now. We'll go together.
The house in Seongbuk-dong?
It doesn't sound like he lives with his relatives.
Does he own another house in that neighborhood?
The phone is turned off. Please leave a message after...
He promised me he'd always answer my calls. What is he doing alone?
That should be good.
What brings you here at this hour?
- Hold on. I'll make some coffee. - Don't. I don't want anything.
Just have a seat here.
Why are you staring at me like that?
Well, it's not as bad as I thought it'd be.
Here, it's oxtail bone soup.
It should be enough for a few servings.
What? Where did you get this rare thing?
When I was injured, Ms. Kim...
I mean, I bought some to help my bone heal faster.
Then you should have this. Why did you bring it here?
I heard you got beaten up.
How can I not do anything when I know whose fault it is?
I just feel apologetic toward Ms. Kim, that's all.
I know you.
You'd never let this happen to you for a complete stranger's sake.
Goodness, don't talk like you know everything.
It's because of In Woo, isn't it?
You're putting up a fight against CEO Kim to protect her.
I know roughly what's going on.
I brought this because I didn't want her to see you and get heartbroken.
It's not because I'm worried about you. Don't get the wrong idea.
Gosh, can't you just give it to me if you brought it for me?
Do you have to be mean like that?
You don't really deserve it.
You see, you're living such a comfortable life,
considering what you've done.
Hey, being physically comfortable doesn't mean I'm doing well.
I cry myself to sleep every night because of our daughters.
I told In Woo that it was because of Ms. Kim, so don't tell her anything.
Just tell her the truth.
Only then, she'll realize how much her parents love her.
Children never know how their parents feel if you don't tell them.
How can I do that just to let her know that I did it for her?
Parents mustn't talk about their children that way.
They have to bury it all in their hearts.
Goodness, how thoughtful.
I see that you're back to how you used to be. You're all talk.
Don't be so harsh on me. I don't know about other things,
but I truly care about our children.
I can't believe I tried to join hands with him.
I won't let it slide, CEO Kim Hee Soo.
Bu Sik.
In Woo?
What brings you here so late?
Well... I just want to talk to you.
You said you would listen to me anytime.
Tell me what's on your mind.
Since you asked me to tell you,
I can't think of anything to say.
Then drink the tea, and leave.
I'll stay with you until you drink it all.
Why are you so kind to me?
But then again,
you were always kind to me.
Except when you thought of someone else for a while.
From the moment you decided to marry me,
you became so cold toward me like a completely different person.
Did you know that?
What's the point of talking about the past?
Then shall we talk about the future?
What should I do from now on?
How should I live my life?
Well...
My mom...
asked me about my childhood dream.
She didn't ask that when I was a child.
Isn't that funny?
Do you know what my dream was?
You.
You were my dream.
In Woo.
I wanted to be wealthy because of you,
and I wanted to give you a lot.
That was the only thing I cared about.
I became greedy, lied to others,
and hurt others' feelings.
In the end, I only...
broke my parents' hearts.
But it's not that I blame you.
I just feel so...
pathetic, and it's killing me.
Now, you feel like the person I used to know.
No.
The person you used to know no longer exists.
Right now, I...
I'm worthless trash.
Don't go overboard.
Don't be so hard on yourself.
You almost died because of me.
But I didn't.
It looks like the thought of it keeps haunting you.
I'll give you a present.
I recovered the audio file you recorded in a clumsy way.
It'll be a big blow to CEO Kim.
Really? Is that true?
Yes.
So don't think that you're trash...
or worthless.
You did something great.
- But I did it only for my own sake. - I know that.
But you helped Hong Suk Pyo greatly. So stop beating yourself up.
I don't want to see you like this.
What are you doing here alone?
This is the only alcoholic drink in this house.
I wanted to drink soju, so I could get drunk.
You get drunk if you drink enough of that.
Wait. I'll prepare some nibbles.
That's okay.
I don't deserve nibbles. Don't bother.
What's wrong? Is it because of Bu Sik?
I pretended I was okay to make Bu Sik feel comfortable.
But it still breaks my heart.
It's only for a year. He'll be able to work as a lawyer again.
It will pass quickly.
Bu Sik worked so hard to become a lawyer.
He lived so busily while spending a lot of time on studying.
He still doesn't wear white shirts.
"White shirts"? Why?
He took catnaps on the floor...
and ate expired food at the convenience store to study more.
That must've harmed his health.
He couldn't wear white shirts because his nose bled so easily.
That's how hard he worked, but he's suspended now.
It must've been hard for him.
I'm sure he was stressed enough to have his sights on others' money.
I didn't take good care of him. I only made him pay off my debt.
I'm such a terrible mom.
Gosh. Don't say such a thing. You're exaggerating it.
I can't even stay with Bu Sik when he's distressed so much.
I'm here and left him alone, saying I want to live my own life.
If you put it like that, I should be...
sorry toward Jong Hee even for breathing.
You're the one who's exaggerating.
Are you saying we shouldn't even breathe?
What I'm saying is that we should forget our pasts...
and try to be good parents for our children from now on.
In fact, Jong Hee is one of the reasons...
why I decided to marry you.
Jong Hee learned about the business and studied...
while following around Suk Pyo's mom since high school.
Suk Pyo's mom wasn't a warm person.
She probably doesn't know what motherly love is.
I can't even be a good mom to Bu Sik.
Do you think I could be a good mom to Jong Hee?
Rather than considering formalities,
it'd be better if you could make her feel comfortable...
like an ordinary mom.
"Make her feel comfortable like an ordinary mom"?
Like In Woo's mom?
I'm not sure if I can do that.
A mom? "An ordinary mom"?
Father...
Father. Mother.
Mom.
All right.
It'll get harder over time, so I'll just get it over with.
Father.
Mother.
Mom.
Father.
Mother.
- Mom. - What time will you leave...
Mom... I mean, Gosh.
Jong Hee, what did you just say?
Why did you barge in like that? Can't you knock?
I'm sorry.
But you just called me "Mom", right?
Are you drunk?
I have to go to work early tomorrow, so don't worry about me.
Please leave now.
- I think you called me "Mom". - Get out, please.
- You called me "Mom"... - Gosh.
But...
I'm sure she called me "Mom".
She really misses motherly love.
I guess it's normal...
to miss your mom even when you're all grown up.
Ms. Kim.
Why? Are you surprised because I suddenly showed up?
How did you know I was here?
Is Secretary Lee here too?
How I came here doesn't matter. My coming here is what matters.
The garden is the best part of this house. Right?
Your mother made a lot of effort in decorating this garden.
How did you know that?
You don't know that I found this house for her, do you?
You did?
Why? Is it weird because she took my money and reported me to the police?
What on earth happened between you two?
Many things happened.
Oh, right. Before telling you that, I have to tell you something.
The person who took my money and reported me to the police...
was not Chairwoman Goo.
It was a man with a scar on his wrist.
"A scar on his wrist"?
Yes. Gosh. I should've remembered that sooner.
CEO Kim.
I understand that you're upset about the video clip,
but until when will you be like this?
Will you let CEO Kim get his way?
No, absolutely not.
I already called for an extraordinary shareholders' meeting.
I'll be sure to oust him from Genius that day.
My, this place looks even nicer at night.
Even the trees look more beautiful with age.
I used to like this house very much.
I had forgotten all about it.
My mother loved this place.
The house itself and especially those trees.
Chairwoman Goo chose this house...
because of her son.
Her son who was weak and timid.
Me?
She said her son liked flowers and trees more than toy weapons...
and that he also loved dogs and cats.
She thought this house would be perfect for him...
because he could run around this huge garden with those animals.
Back then, I was in real estate as well.
The Chairwoman Goo I knew...
was a mother who always wept behind her son.
That's very different from how I remember her.
What you see isn't everything.
I don't recall seeing her shedding tears.
She was never warm or loving toward me.
What you saw in the video clip, including that face...
and those remarks,
was my mother.
All right.
Someday,
you'll come to understand her from the bottom of your heart.
No.
That day will never come.
Eun Jo is the only one in my heart now.
Yes, we're launching EJ Cosmetics today.
Please give a favorable review.
Gosh, what are you talking about? I'm not trying to pressure you.
We're that confident about the products' quality.
You must know that already because you've tested them.
Thank you in advance, Editor-in-chief.
- Did all the clinics get them? - Yes, ma'am.
Keep monitoring posts and comments online.
I'm already doing that, but it's still pretty quiet.
But if CEO Kim finds out that you two are doing this here,
he'll probably hold another disciplinary hearing.
I took today off, so I don't have to work today.
Same here.
Secretary Lee, can you pay some attention to me?
Oh, I see.
Oh, no. This shouldn't be here.
Are you two already getting bored with your relationship or what?
Secretary Jung, just focus on doing your job properly.
And does Myung Jo know that you took time off work?
He's busy at the hospital, so I don't want to make him worry.
I'm not that kind of a girlfriend.
Keep an eye on them so that they don't fly away.
Oh, that box can go there. Please make sure it doesn't break.
Ms. Min, please put those pamphlets over there.
Sure.
(Derma Cosmetics by EJ One)
Please put them over there. Be careful, please.
Oh, what are you doing here?
This is all I can do to help out, you know.
Let's clean up quickly and leave.
Why? They seem busy. We should stay and help out.
It's a promotional event for beauty products. People won't like...
seeing grim-faced folks like us.
You think so? Then...
- we should take her too. - Who?
Over there.
Yes, these toners can go over there.
Get rid of the serum. Good. Take one facial cream out too.
I think we should get rid of you first.
- Let's go to the cafe. - Let's go.
What did you just say?
I'm the global sales manager. Why would you get rid of me?
Who gave you that position?
Hello.
Look.
Did you say that you're one of the founding members of EJ Cosmetics?
That's right.
Then I'm the biggest contributor. Don't treat me like this.
My gosh, are you two already fighting about who has more shares?
This man is going on about how he's Hong Suk Pyo's relative...
and keeps bluffing.
What are you talking about?
I said what I said because I wanted the event to go well.
Where's Suk Pyo? I haven't seen him since earlier.
What are you doing here?
Look, Mr. Hong's distant relative.
Right, and you're not even related to Suk Pyo.
Why are you being like this? Let's not ruin the day.
What did I do?
Ms. Gil, please calm down.
I didn't even do anything.
All right, fine. I'll try to be nice since it's a happy day for us.
Where's Suk Pyo?
Yes, where's Mr. Hong...
I mean, where did Eun Jo's future husband go?
"Eun Jo's future husband"?
"Future husband"?
The power trip is already on.
Why? Did I say something wrong?
Where did Suk Pyo go so early in the morning?
Where did Ms. Gil go?
It's not a good idea to make me wait.
I see, you already want to act like an in-law?
Future husband, my foot.
I heard the launch is today.
Yes, thanks to you.
My gosh, I didn't even do anything.
That's not true. You did a lot of things.
I got through them all, and I'm finally launching the brand today.
Well, congratulations anyway.
I hope everything goes well,
but the economy is very bad these days.
It will go well.
You sound very confident.
Did you bring this here to boast?
Or shall I display your products at our stores?
If I never lost my CEO position, I'd still be researching.
I probably never even thought to look at my mother's notebook.
So I did play a huge role.
You've regained your health, and the products are being launched too.
What's next?
Why do you ask? Are you worried about your position?
I'm not worried at all, Suk Pyo. Just take good care of your health.
- Your condition isn't completely... - Thank you...
for your concern.
And thank you again...
for all of your help with the launch.
There's one more thing.
I should also thank you for showing me my mother.
Even though she gave birth to you,
she doesn't deserve to be called a mother.
Mister.
I wanted to call you like that as I was reminded of my childhood.
And this will be the last time.
The last time?
You must've heard about the shareholders' meeting.
You've committed too many bad deeds in that position.
As the company founder's son...
and the majority shareholder, I cannot let this continue.
What did I do?
Bring evidence if you want to drag me down.
Just wait.
What?
And don't try to do anything from this moment on.
It'll only make your punishment greater.
I'll see you at the shareholders' meeting, CEO Kim Hee Soo.
What does he have?
Min Ji is on the plane to Hawaii,
and I already sent my wife to her sister's place in Japan.
Why is he so confident?
You still don't trust that I'd be okay on my own?
You look so worried.
That man is so menacing, you know.
Shall we go sell our products?
Okay, let's go. Let's try to sell as many as possible.
We have to pay Haeng Ja back.
Right, we do.
Let's go.
It's a very effective product.
Thank you.
Here you go.
We're selling it at a promotional price today, so you should buy it.
- I'd like to buy a set. - Sure. Ms. Min, bring one set.
My gosh, you're working so hard.
It's all thanks to you.
Without your investment, we wouldn't have been able to dream about this.
Are the products being sold at the stores too?
At the moment, only at the permitted ones.
- Does CEO Kim know? - No, not yet.
We don't want him to mess with the products, so it's confidential now.
Hello! Please come and have a look.
Feel free to try them on.
- We're having a promotion today. - Can I get one?
- Of course. - Thank you.
Yang Ah, bring him one.
Welcome. Please come here.
Ms. Gil seems very enthusiastic.
That's the only good thing about her.
Smell it. It smells really good.
She'll probably give Suk Pyo a hard time.
She called him her future nephew-in-law.
Would you like to smell it? Here you go.
This can be critical evidence...
only if the explosion happened at our warehouse.
I bet CEO Kim will claim that nothing happened there.
But he won't be able to get away with it so easily.
- What? - You spoke casually to me suddenly.
I've always talked to you like this.
Besides, I'm older than you.
Right. Of course.
By the way, where did you get this?
This audio file?
CEO Kim wouldn't let anyone record a conversation with him.
It's better for you not to know.
I'll tell you when it's all over.
I'm worried.
The evidence we have isn't good enough to dismiss CEO Kim.
And it looks so easy for him to make excuses.
Lawyer Choi gave us critical information.
- "Critical"? - Evidence on his accounting fraud.
Embezzlement and breach of trust. But I couldn't find anything.
He siphoned a great deal of money under Jo Min Ji, a shareholder.
Jo Min Ji? Who is she?
CEO Kim's mistress.
What?
It will be hard to prove it.
It's over if she says she doesn't know CEO Kim.
Ms. Kim is taking care of the matter regarding her.
Ms. Kim Haeng Ja is?
Where did you put that document? At the front desk?
Okay.
What? This is...
This is what you're looking for, Director Goo.
I just talked to Secretary Jung on the phone.
Thank you.
Do you happen to know why this is here?
Oh, this is Ms. Gil Eun Jo's.
She left it behind, so I told her, but she hasn't taken it yet.
This belongs to Ms. Gil Eun Jo?
It's as if there's a party in front of the center.
If you're curious, why don't you go there?
You can give your in-laws a hand.
Actually, I'm going to pay a visit later.
I'm going to go there too after cleaning up here.
Why?
I'm involved in that business.
- What do you mean? - In Jung.
She knew it'd become a success and jump into the business.
She's playing an important role now.
Really? Does she say that it'll go well?
I heard so. I wouldn't know. That's what In Jung says.
They say you need money to make more money.
Ms. Kim might become even richer than she is now.
It feels like money chases after Ms. Kim.
I envy her.
It's smooth. It feels nice.
The scent is also subtle and nice.
Right? I've been using it for a few days as In Jung gave me.
Jung Sook,
- shall we... - Sell this product?
Yes. That's exactly what I was thinking.
Door-to-door sales.
No way. No one would let us in.
We can start with the people we know.
What do you say? Shall we give it a try?
Can't we just sell it here? Door-to-door sales is a bit...
Mom, I've been thinking a lot,
and I don't think I can forgive myself.
I couldn't see things clearly at that time.
I'll go on a short trip to get some fresh air.
I'm not thinking of hurting myself, so don't worry too much.
Hello. Would you like to try the cream?
Apply some on your hand.
You have such great skin.
You should take care of your skin while it's good.
Can I get one of this?
Sure.
I'll give you the product.
- Here you go. - Here you go.
Thank...
What's the matter with her?
I heard you worked really hard today.
Yes. You know how good I am at sales.
This is much more fun than working at the pawn shop.
Ms. Jung.
What?
(Hate to Love You)
"The product of the former CEO of Genius, Hong Suk Pyo,"
"turned out to be full of preservatives in one day."
I think this is CEO Kim's last-ditch effort.
Why am I feeling so uneasy?
Ms. Kim, she said she'll see you.
All right. Now, we should catch Kim Hee Soo.
We're on the right track, right?
What's going on now?
- Is this true? - Can you even have a baby?
Think hard about whether you're a good match for Suk Pyo,
the CEO of Genius.
