Seoul Central Prosecutors' Office...
searched Chairman Ha Yoon Mo's office...
and home yesterday.
To investigate the suspicion that he gathered an illegal slush fund,
they're tracing the company's finances and cash flow.
Chairman Ha is known for stressing moral business management,
so Seonju Group's slush fund scandal is causing ripples...
that are getting out of hand.
According to Moon Do Hyun, the prosecutor in charge,
an anonymous tip was called in...
I'm sorry.
It's my fault.
I got worried about Se Na.
The online comments were getting too personal,
so I met with Do Hyun.
Because I couldn't help her,
I asked him to look out for her.
From my part, it was a request out of concern for Se Na.
But I think Do Hyun took it differently.
He thought I asked him to do that knowing he liked Se Na.
He got furious.
The anger for me...
It targeted you.
Jin Woo. You're mistaken about something.
So...
you don't have to feel guilty at all.
What?
What do you mean?
Chi Hwan...
had come to see me.
Kang Chi Hwan?
His company was struggling,
and he asked me for money.
He went on his knees too.
He knelt before you?
Chi Hwan of all people went on his knees?
But I said no.
But Dad. I don't get it.
Even if you refused the request,
unless Do Hyun did it to get back at me,
it makes no sense that he'd...
attack you and your company.
I know the reason.
Kang Chi Hwan...
is Do Hyun's benefactor.
- "Benefactor?" - "Benefactor?"
Do Hyun is the first student Chi Hwan gave a scholarship to.
Chi Hwan paid every expense when it came to Do Hyun's education.
What?
Simply put, Chi Hwan made Do Hyun a prosecutor.
- Then... - This is Chi Hwan...
and Do Hyun's joint scheme.
Why do you two look all serious?
Let's talk, Do Hyun. Sit down.
Let me change first.
It won't take long. Let's talk first.
I saw the news.
Seonju Group's chairman.
Why are you investigating him?
I got a tip.
What did I say?
Do you expect me to believe that?
Why are you so serious?
When I went to talk to you, you rushed off before we were done.
He rejected Se Na.
She ate a whole pot of rice,
then drank and puked all night. She was unlike her usual self.
Do Hyun!
How do you...
feel about Se Na?
Do you love her?
Is that why you got revenge on Seonju Group?
To get back at him?
Oh, is that how it went?
What are you talking about?
If it's not that, why did you rush off...
just when I said that?
Do Hyun.
When Se Na recovers,
let's part amicably with this family.
Let's thank each other and leave.
I think...
I can make a good living selling tteokbokki by a high school.
The three of us, including your uncle, can start over...
in a small home.
I think I'll feel much more at ease in a rental than here.
We can't get involved with them again.
If we do, there will be no getting out.
Why should you make an enemy out of Chairman Ha?
What for?
It's not that.
Are you sure it's not that?
I'm tired. I'd like to go to bed.
(Do Hyun, please help my dad.)
Do Hyun.
Please help my dad.
It's my last request.
Thanks for everything.
But I believe that a businessman at least, must face it honestly.
The attitude and way in which you lied to the public.
I can't accept it.
Ha Yoon Mo.
I know you very well.
Fools like you who pretend to be honest, clean, and cool...
can't stand a day being slandered for keeping...
an illegal slush fund.
Yet again, the deities...
are on my side.
Shine Cosmetics survived.
Hello, Chairman Ha.
I heard you're almost bankrupt.
You sound pretty cheerful for a CEO...
who's about to lose everything.
Did you find a way out?
Did it sound like that?
I guess I'm just pleased to hear from you.
When is the deadline to pay off your promissory notes?
It's tomorrow.
Tomorrow, 5 p.m.
I'm a bit rushed.
I see.
Tomorrow, 5 p.m. That's less than a day away.
Why did you call me?
Out of curiosity.
You came all the way to my office to explain your situation,
and I realized I didn't hear you out.
Didn't you say you wouldn't invest?
Yes, I did.
But then I started to wonder.
Will he give me the money or not?
The reason you want to know is...
But...
you sound bright and cheerful, so I guess you found a solution.
I'm happy for you.
Good luck.
Hey.
Chairman Ha.
You're very mistaken, Chi Hwan.
How come you sound so cheerful...
when the sword's in my hand?
Ha Yoon Mo...
You're strapped and you have until 5 p.m. to honor your promissory notes?
Let's see you lose your mind.
(Contents)
What? Is there something on my face?
I'm grateful about yesterday.
Goodness.
I guess my aunt wanted me to grow old...
as a successful woman with a career.
Maybe it was her dream too.
She'd bring it up every now and then.
She was...
so pleased when you made me assistant director.
It's true that you're wasting your talent.
Auntie appreciates having you around to help her,
but she knows you're a waste of skill.
That's how parents feel.
They think you're wasting time and resources.
Thank you for giving her some money too.
- Of course. - I didn't think of that.
This weekend, let's visit Young Hee's Store with Sol.
Summer underwear and...
- What did they like last time? - From Sokcho.
- The cornbread. - Cornbread.
Let's buy many loaves of that and visit them.
They'll be so pleased to hear your news.
We first met them 15 years ago already.
That night,
I felt so lost.
And they let us stay without asking questions.
They saved our lives.
I think they're the reason we're doing well now.
Yes.
And also...
thanks to you and to Sol who quietly and continuously...
supported me and waited for me.
I thought...
I'd stay single my whole life.
It's strange how people meet.
I met Sol and then you.
Don't you think we did pretty well in life?
Sol grew up into a pretty decent young lady.
Yes. We reaped what we sowed.
She was made by Yoon Yi Chang and Na Jung Im.
Goodness.
Our Sol will do even better in the future.
You bet.
Let's toast to that.
- Cheers. - Cheers.
Hello, I'm Yoon Sol.
You make a good first impression...
and you sound reliable too.
Okay, pass.
No, Great-aunt.
What? Who wouldn't give you a job?
You weren't like this when you interviewed me.
Was I not?
I wonder why.
You want me to ask any of these questions?
- Yes. - Okay. Go back to your spot.
Hello, I'm Yoon Sol.
(CEO Kang Chi Hwan)
What happened?
You said Chairman Ha won't stand being criticized.
You said it would get sorted out.
You told me to just wait and see.
It's 3:59 p.m. No, it's 4 p.m. now.
I heard Shine Cosmetics has until 5 p.m. to pay off their promissory notes.
If I don't invest in them before then,
what will happen?
Will you receive another tip...
and will my company suffer more at your hand, Prosecutor?
What do you mean?
Chairman Ha.
I'm questioning you about your illegal slush fund.
You always just question me.
You got a call.
It's Mr. Kang. You can take it.
I'll wait.
Will you pick up, darn it?
Mr. Kang took everyone's money with way too much confidence.
And then bad things happened in a row.
I heard that the investors got scared and retrieved their investments.
I can't believe we'll go bankrupt...
if we don't pay off the promissory notes today.
It happened so fast.
Just a few days ago, we were working like crazy.
Who'd have thought this would happen?
I wonder how Mr. Kang feels.
His only daughter is in hospital...
and his company's this close to going belly-up.
The Clover Bank people are here.
Hello, sir.
Just a moment.
You should take it.
Why would I take your call?
You confiscated my phone and I'm here to be questioned.
Oh, my stomach's acting up.
Can I take a restroom break?
And if you don't mind, I'd like some hot tea.
I'm a bit thirsty.
Chairman Ha won't take your call?
He's avoiding you?
Yes.
Goodness.
Se Na. I haven't used my phone to look things up in a while.
And I manage just fine.
I'd been listening to too much trash and information...
that I didn't need.
People care so much about others.
They have nothing better to do.
When you get better,
let's visit famous restaurants and go shopping together.
You wanted to learn pole dancing. You can take lessons.
There's so much to eat and see and do...
in the world.
I'm bored.
Will you get well soon?
Se Na.
As a mom,
I'd give myself zero points.
I struggled whenever you cried.
You cried a lot as a child,
and I was at a loss each time.
I was defective myself.
I had mood swings...
and got depressed over nothing.
I sank...
to rock bottom whenever things didn't go my way.
It's terrible, isn't it?
You were so pretty and lovable,
but I could barely keep myself afloat.
I left you with a sitter, Ms. Oh,
and then Ms. Na.
That's how I raised you.
All the time,
I wished I had a kindhearted mom.
I guess it was because I lost my mom at a young age.
I felt as if I had a massive hole in my heart,
a hole that let the cold wind through.
I always felt...
lonely,
cold, lost,
and abandoned.
That's why...
I couldn't care for you.
You must've felt...
so alone.
I regret that so much.
It breaks my heart.
Don't cry, Mom.
I was a terrible daughter too.
I wanted to make you proud,
but I don't think I can anymore.
I don't dare face Dad anymore.
I get attacked every day, without a break.
I don't think I can survive the ridicule.
However hard I try to steel myself,
I just...
don't think I can overcome that.
I'm sorry, Mom.
No.
Se Na. No!
Se Na, stay alive, for me.
Let's go on living.
Come on. Let's get through this together.
No, Se Na.
- Excuse me. - Se Na, let's live.
- Se Na. - Two hundred joules.
- Charged. - Clear.
- Go to 250 joules. - Charged.
Clear!
- Go up to 300 joules. - Charged.
Clear!
Darn it.
It's all over.
Can we begin?
Shoot. It's really over.
Se Na.
Se Na. Thank you.
Thanks for pulling through.
Thank you so much.
Thank you, Se Na.
Well done.
Se Na.
Until now, I cared too much about the mom who abandoned me.
Go inside.
And the man who betrayed me.
I wasted too much of my life hating,
resenting, and cursing them.
I held out my hand and waited for them,
knowing they'd never come back.
I wasted my emotions on them.
I won't do that anymore.
For your sake, I'll become a strong mom.
Se Na. Thank you.
Shine Cosmetics was unable to pay the eight million dollars they owe...
- and is declared bankrupt... - It's paid in full.
What?
What did you just say?
What do you mean it was paid?
It says the amount is paid in full.
Yes!
I made it!
Father, what did I say?
Didn't I say Yoon Mo wouldn't last a day?
This is just unbelievable.
My small investment...
gave me a massive profit!
My foresight...
saved Shine Cosmetics!
Wasn't it my money that got you back from the brink?
You made the initial investment with my cash.
Let's not squabble about whose money it was.
I didn't spend that much anyway.
Okay, fine.
We survived, Father. We made it.
Yes, we did. We made it.
We got through it somehow.
Hi, honey.
Se Na's awake.
She pulled through.
She woke up and she's looking at me now.
- Father. - What?
Se Na woke up at last.
Did she?
Oh, thank you. Thank the lucky stars.
This is the best day ever.
I feel like I was born again.
Yes.
I got back from death's door.
Put Se Na on.
Se Na. Hello.
I can get through anything now.
Let's get through any obstacle or hardship...
together now.
Thank you, Se Na.
My goodness.
This day will never be forgotten...
for as long as we live.
It'll go down in history.
Hello.
I'm Chae Young Eun.
The current time is 4:52:05 p.m.
You have less than ten minutes left.
Hello. I'm Ha Jin Woo.
We represent Seonju Group,
and are here to tell you the conditions of our investment.
Young Eun, Jin Woo.
We can discuss that...
It's a required condition.
If you can't agree to that,
we'll take back our investment immediately.
What?
No, wait. What do you mean?
Read the first line on the first page.
You both are getting on in age and you're flustered too,
so the one-time famous announcer shall do the honors.
The required condition of Seonju Group's investment into Shine Cosmetics is that...
Shine Cosmetics' new CEO...
is to be Chae Young Eun.
Do you accept that condition?
What are you saying?
The time is...
Make up your mind.
Shine Cosmetics' CEO...
is Chae Young Eun.
Do you accept it?
(Meant to be)
Do Hyun liked Se Na a lot.
Does Jin Woo know I'm awake?
Jin Woo.
Everyone wants the helper girl to appear.
"Helper girl?" Who's that?
The person who can end this for good.
I'll cancel the wire transfer.
We need to talk.
You need to save the company first.
Chae Young Eun, you!
