(Episode 34)
It's time for the press conference.
Okay.
Sir.
- What is it? - Oh Hwa Soon disappeared.
What?
She was drinking tea in the waiting room, but she's nowhere to be seen.
She's not in the building and she's not picking up.
What are you talking about?
Tell the reporters there was a car accident and apologize.
Do whatever it takes to stall.
Yes, sir.
This is crazy.
Where did she go while I went to the restroom?
You couldn't find her?
- She's not picking up? - No.
Why is she such a nuisance?
Go and find your sister!
- You must find her. - Yes, ma'am.
My gosh.
Goodness.
I'd just gone to the toilet when...
You should've watched her.
Should I have relieved myself here, then?
Why is he treating me like a hound? Why should I watch her?
I forced myself to be nice to her just to get her here this morning.
My gosh.
You startled me.
I can't believe what's going on, so...
What is it?
What are you doing?
Where is she?
Is she here?
- She's not here. - Let's go back upstairs.
Hwa Soon!
- Hwa Soon! - Where is she?
Come with me!
What is this mess?
Ms. Oh Hwa Soon!
Darn it.
- Ms. Oh Hwa Soon! - Ms. Oh Hwa Soon!
Ms. Oh Hwa Soon!
Are you in there? Ms. Oh Hwa...
- Sorry. - Sorry.
- Ms. Oh Hwa Soon! - Ms. Oh Hwa Soon!
Your phone's ringing.
Hello?
Do Hyun. Your mom's not there, is she?
She disappeared right before the press conference.
Everyone's looking for her, but we can't reach her.
It's real bad.
What press conference?
What are you talking about?
You haven't seen the news, have you?
The news?
The car the helper was in got into...
a fender-bender on the way.
Will you please bear with us?
Go on.
(Press Conference to Explain Shine Model Kang Se Na Misunderstanding)
These are sample kits...
that we're handing out for free to future Shine Cosmetics customers.
Try the products.
Could you please bear with us?
What did you say to Se Na?
She didn't just need the bag. She needed it for an important shoot.
I don't like it. Why should you do errands for her?
You keep saying "errand" because you have an inferiority complex.
(Violent Outburst Reported by Viewer)
Do Hyun, why didn't you pick up?
Your mother disappeared.
Talk to her for me.
Tell her to talk to the reporters.
My life and the company depend on her.
Kang Se Na.
Did you think I'd help after watching the video?
Is that why you're here?
- Do Hyun. - You're very mistaken.
Do you think I'll put up with the way you treat my mother?
- Do Hyun. - Se Na.
Is that how you always treated my mom?
Tell me!
No. Don't jump to conclusions based on the video.
Then how must I make a conclusion?
Your mother complained to me the moment she appeared.
She told me not to treat you like an errand boy or her like a maid.
Should I get yelled at like that for asking someone...
who lives in the same house to bring me a bag?
So what?
The team was waiting inside and your mom refused to give me the bag.
I was rushed,
and she picked a fight with me.
So what?
Your mom lost control because I'd asked you to come,
and do you know how nasty she was?
So you walked off, leaving her on the ground?
Your mother made me angry.
Don't you do that when you're angry?
You said you'd just give her the bag.
What did you say to Se Na?
Not because she thinks less of me, not because she's selfish,
but because we live in the same house and it was urgent.
She asked for a favor.
Do Hyun.
Okay. I admit I spoke harshly.
But I feel wronged too.
I'm not crazy enough to yell for no reason at someone who brought me a bag.
Everyone must think like you because of the video.
That's why I need your mom's statement.
Think about it.
Why do you think she agreed to talk to the press?
Because she admits that...
she provided the cause.
And then she disappeared.
It's a matter of time before I go down.
I'll be crushed.
I'll be done for, but not just me.
Shine Cosmetics will go down too.
That's not right.
Do Hyun.
Your mom does anything you say.
Will you tell her to come back?
Do Hyun.
Are you out of your mind?
We can't let this...
topple the tower we built up.
Shine Cosmetics is important to you, and Se Na even more so, I get that.
But I can't do it.
If we miss this window, it'll get even harder to clean up.
I'm Jeon Mi Kang.
What about my pride? That's nonsense!
Shine Cosmetics and Se Na depends on you.
Think only of the cause.
No.
I won't do it, even if my life's threatened.
We'll start the press conference.
Right, the press conference.
It's supposed to be streamed.
I almost forgot the important event.
My gosh. What's going on?
I can't read with these sunglasses on.
This is stupid.
Kang Chi Hwan, Kang Se Na,
Oh Hwa Soon!
Hwa Soon.
What are you doing here?
What has gotten into you?
Everyone at the company's running about looking for you.
Mok Chan.
Our parents died when I was in high school...
and we were orphaned.
To avoid sending my sniffling little brother to the orphanage,
I did everything I could.
I lived and worked so darn hard.
You did.
You'd been through a lot because of me.
I did spend most of my life worrying about money and saving up,
but I didn't rely on luck or waste it.
I worked hard every single day.
I thought I did pretty well, seeing what you and Do Hyun had become.
You did great. What more could you have done?
I'd never done anything to be proud of,
but I'd never felt ashamed or embarrassed.
But...
I'd become a slave to money.
Before I knew it,
I'd become a slave to it,
and I'd let it drag me by the collar.
I didn't realize I'd become a slave to money,
and I got angry that my son was being treated like one.
What are you talking about?
I read the script I was to read before the press,
and it listed everything I'd done wrong.
I couldn't believe it.
It made me look like a woman who'd do anything for money.
Yes, I do like money. I love it.
If I didn't have a son,
I might have just gone ahead and read it.
But I'm Do Hyun's mom.
I might be crazy about money,
but I'm the mom of a prosecutor.
(I am a live-in helper. That morning, Miss Se Na called...)
I am a live-in helper.
That morning, Miss Se Na called...
and asked me to bring a bag to the shoot.
I got angry that a young woman made me...
run an errand for her when I had many other things to do.
Miss Se Na asked me for the bag...
because her staff were waiting inside,
but I used her anxiety...
to upset her and demand money.
I cursed and refused to give her the bag,
and Miss Se Na got angry and demanded I hand it over to her.
We argued and I lost my balance and fell.
I got furious...
and refused to let go of the strap.
I cursed some more and demanded she pay me,
to get my own way.
That's when the strap broke,
and angry Miss Se Na tossed the bag and left.
The video makes it look like she was abusing me,
but I admit I was abusing her,
using her fame and anxiety...
to try and get her to pay me for my efforts.
I worked for her family for about 20 years.
As you can tell from my long service,
Miss Kang's family...
paid for my son's education all the way,
and they treated me decently.
I wish to ask for forgiveness...
for letting my greed take over and causing an uproar.
That's why I'm here.
Mok Chan. How much do you have saved up?
Hwa Soon. Let's stay just three more years.
That's how long we agreed to save up for.
So we can move into a nice, new apartment.
So we can open a store of our own and be our own boss.
Do you remember Ms. Na?
How could I forget Jung Im?
To be honest, I badmouthed her.
I disapproved of her running off in the night...
after all that Mr. Kang had done for her.
I cursed her.
But now I'm in her shoes and I get it.
It was her time to run off.
Once you make up your mind, you must take action.
It must be done.
Did you watch the press conference?
No, I couldn't.
I just got out of a board meeting.
Whatever you imagine, Shine goes beyond it.
Why? What did they do?
The helper was supposed to talk to the press.
Do you know who did?
Was it someone else?
Jeon Mi Kang.
Who? Chi Hwan's wife?
Yes.
She wore a headscarf, sunglasses, and a mask,
and read the script as if she were the helper.
Are you sure?
She can dupe anyone else but me.
My gosh. This isn't the kind of thing to cover up like that.
Honey. How crazy can a couple be to go to such lengths?
They're so brazen.
They must've been a reason.
Whatever the reason, that's fraud.
Well, it is.
Honey, I need you to...
not tell anyone about this.
Who could I tell?
You must be busy. I'll let you get back to work.
He told me not to tell,
but my lips are itchy and so are my fingers.
Should I leave one anonymous comment and ruin them all?
No, wait.
The online investigators will do the work.
You online hunters who are just like the CSI,
I believe in your ability.
You're the best hackers in the world.
I root for you all. Good luck.
Ms. Cho.
The company we hired to post 800,000 comments.
Get them to post 800,000 more.
Mr. Kang's orders.
Sir.
I can't just tell them to post stuff.
I have to give detailed examples and guidelines.
Must I do that again?
I know how you feel,
- but... - I didn't join the team to be...
a keyboard warrior.
One large company...
hired over 100 full-time employees to do nothing but post comments.
That's how important the media is these days.
However much we spend,
the truth will beat the lies in the end.
I know that. But look at the situation we're in.
We must do all we can.
Mr. Kang looks fine on the outside,
but I can tell by his face that he's dying inside.
I resigned in my dream last night,
and I'd never felt better.
If only I hadn't bought a new car.
If only I didn't have a family to feed.
Come on, everyone. I know you're suffering.
But let's cheer up.
The worst is almost over.
Oh. How did you know what would happen?
When my mom fainted and was taken to the ER,
the test results were clear and she was released soon after.
And you said what I'm doing would take off.
The lipstick I patented really did become kind of famous,
and sales went up.
Are you psychic?
I know everything.
And everything I say comes true.
I thought so back then,
but you really are a natural bluffer.
It's true.
Can you get me a star in the sky, then?
A star in the sky?
- Of course. - What?
You're helpless.
It's so nice.
There's a nice breeze, and the moon and stars are beautiful.
Why did you bring me here to pluck me a star?
Look down there.
Oh, wow.
Let's see.
I'll get you a star.
In this bottle...
is a star.
What was that?
Come in.
Can we talk?
I need some ideas.
Sure. What is it about?
Goodness.
I didn't get to...
talk to your mom yesterday.
Mom's really angry with me right now.
- Why? - National Anthem was here.
Mom asked me...
not to contact him or see him again.
You won't see him, will you?
No.
I don't have to.
Why would I?
I won't see him unless he comes to see Dad.
I don't want you to see him again,
or even contact him again.
Dad.
Why does Mom dislike him so much?
She says...
It's Mom. Hang on.
- Hi, Mom. - Sol.
Where did you go so early yesterday morning?
Oh, I went to...
Quit what you're doing.
Why would you suddenly...
Just do as you're told!
I waited for you so far,
but I can't anymore.
A friend's graduating and she asked me to do her makeup.
I'd promised a long time ago and I had to go.
You typed up a resume, didn't you?
Bring a copy to the restaurant.
My resume?
Cheonga Building at the three-way junction.
There's an academy on the third floor,
and they're hiring.
You should apply.
You want me to teach at an academy?
An academy?
You should ask what she thinks first.
Talk to me.
All this crying and no talk...
is killing me.
I'm dying inside, okay?
Dad.
Yes, Mi Kang.
What do you want me to do?
- Dad. - What?
What if people recognize me?
How could they when you covered up so well?
No one can tell it's you.
Dad.
I feel so humiliated.
Oh, dear...
You rarely cry this much.
Can you stop crying?
I'll take care of everything for you.
Oh, dear...
Stop crying, Mi Kang.
My poor baby.
What's Se Na doing? How is she?
What? Se Na?
Hang on. Let me go and check on her.
What a mess.
Oh, dear.
Se Na.
It's Grandpa. Will you let me in?
Se Na.
Se Na!
Se...
Se Na!
Se Na.
Oh, dear. Se Na.
My goodness.
I was so scared something bad had happened.
Grandpa.
Yes?
I'm so scared.
You're scared?
What about?
I'm scared people will mock me.
Your mom talked to the press for you...
and said you did nothing wrong.
No. They'll find out somehow.
They won't.
I'm done for. They'll bury me.
Why would you say something like that?
I want to die, Grandpa.
No, come on.
You can't say that to your Grandpa.
Oh, dear...
Kang Chi Hwan.
What have you done?
Is this the best you could do?
Your wife and daughter are both a mess!
Come and see for yourself what they're like!
What'll you do about this?
This is what you're always like.
(CEO Kang Chi Hwan)
- I want to see the CEO! - Where is he?
- Move! - Let us in!
- What? - Let me talk to him!
Hey, you.
Kang Chi Hwan. What'll you do?
What'll you do about the stocks?
I won't let it get too bad. Don't worry.
It's no surprise it's plummeting.
The brand's main model was in the news!
If you saw the press conference...
What good was that?
The model's image has already hit rock bottom!
Were you not in control?
What will you do about this mess?
- What'll you do? - What about my money?
Please calm down. Take them to the conference room.
I'll come and talk to you.
- What will you do about this? - You better take care of it!
- Are you kidding me? - Please calm down.
Moon Do Hyun.
Do you know what your mother did,
and hear the kind of trouble she caused?
(Prosecutor Moon Do Hyun)
I called to discuss that, sir.
Where shall we meet?
At home. Your mother had better be there.
Okay.
Your mother created a huge mess.
Come to me with a plan...
of how you'll take care of it.
Yes, sir.
(Letter of Resignation)
Do you not need to take a pill?
I don't.
I've been through worse things in life. I even got into fights.
You've been in fights?
- Drop it. - Okay.
Don't forget that you have me by your side.
Your brother Mok Chan.
Okay. Let's go.
Oh, dear.
This won't do. You need to take this.
Your mother created a huge mess.
Come to me with a plan...
of how you'll take care of it.
(Meant to be)
The comments about Se Na are too harsh.
How is she right now?
Why are you asking me?
Aren't you two in touch?
I'm always the problem.
Jin Woo. What should I do now?
Did you talk to the woman?
Send me her contacts.
Hello?
