(Episode 92)
From this moment forth, Hwaipeu Fund's CEO is...
Hwang Ga Heun.
That's ridiculous.
I'm Hwaipeu Fund's new CEO, Hwang Ga Heun.
As per my mother, Ji Na Hwang's will,
I stand here as a larger shareholder of Jewang Group.
As per my right as a large shareholder,
I request complete innovation.
What? Innovation?
Kickbacks from subcontractors.
Embezzlement.
The owner's excessive control.
This is the status of Jewang Group as I've uncovered...
during my time here as chief manager.
This cannot continue.
We will perform a full audit.
Hwaipeu Fund is Jewang Group's partner.
If there is a problem, bring us solid evidence.
Jewang can take care of it so that it doesn't happen again.
How could you make a big deal out of it like this?
This is an abuse of authority!
Ms. Geum Eun Hwa.
Aren't you the one receiving kickbacks from subcontractors?
The owners receive widespread preferential treatment.
Successors are named based on blood, not skill.
Various issues of plagiarism and other incidents.
We will not stand idly by anymore.
We will enforce a large-scale reform.
You probably didn't expect me to return with my mother's rights.
Ji Na Hwang...
placed a sword in your hand.
Is this the return of a queen?
It's an honor to hear you say that.
I plan to wield the sword that my mother gave me well.
That way, her death will not have been in vain.
Your mother... Ji Na Hwang's death...
was a tragedy.
The 30-year grudge held by Oman Group...
My mom couldn't resolve that grudge before she passed away.
Oman's president and my mom died wrongfully.
I plan to relieve them of their grudges.
Ji Na Hwang's grudge.
It sounds like you think it is my fault.
Do you plan to chop up my company and sell off the pieces...
as we did to Oman Group?
Why not?
What?
If you don't want that to happen, you must prove Jewang's worth.
Jewang Group will not fall that easily.
Oman Group...
simply failed to survive...
in a world where the strong survive.
I like that. Survival of the fittest.
Please think of what I do going forward with that attitude.
Try to survive with your rationale about strength.
When the nation was failing,
we, Jewang Group, saved it.
Look outside.
People praise us...
and say it's the republic of Jewang Group.
How dare you try to touch a company like that?
You have a lot of pride in your company.
But you became drunk on that pride...
and became an owner who is rotten to the core.
When it's impossible to decide where and what to fix first,
it may be better to tear it all down and rebuild from scratch.
Go ahead.
Go crazy. Knock yourself out.
I won't just watch.
Of course, not.
You'll have to block me well if you don't want to lose to me.
What happened?
Why didn't you tell me you were Hwaipeu Fund's new CEO?
Sorry. I didn't even console you properly...
for Ji Na Hwang's death.
Are you feeling okay?
You look it, but...
I know it's hard to control your emotions, but stay alert...
That's enough. Just say what you want.
What did you mean earlier in the conference room?
What do you mean, you'll enforce a large-scale reform?
It's exactly what it sounds like. I'll reform Jewang Group.
Furthermore, I will not try to make you a successor anymore.
Ms. Hwang. You promised to help me get revenge on Stepmom.
We have to get rid of her. Why are you attacking Jewang Group?
Mr. Oh.
Why didn't you tell me about the hatred between my mom...
and Chairman Oh?
- What? - Chairman Oh was the one...
who pushed Oman's president to suicide.
Why didn't you tell me about that?
Well...
Ms. Hwang. Listen to me.
I'm not trying to make an excuse. I really had no choice.
I don't want to blame the dead,
but Ji Na Hwang was determined...
to get revenge on Jewang Group.
She wanted to use me to get rid of my father.
How could I accept that?
You weren't just watching because he was your blood?
What?
How could you say that?
This is about Stepmom, isn't it?
Sun Hyuk told me...
that Na Wook Do took Ji Na Hwang to the mountain.
Did you forget? Stepmom is our mutual target.
No.
You are the owner's son. You're just like them.
What? I told you, I'm different.
I'll fix what Father did to Oman Group...
and what Stepmom did...
to Ji Na Hwang.
I'll expose them for what they did.
You seem to be confused.
You're my enemy as well from now on.
Your enemy?
Ms. Hwang. You plan to destroy Jewang Group, don't you?
You plan to take revenge on Father.
Yes, I do.
I won't let you.
I'm going to protect my father.
I'll save Jewang Group myself!
Go right ahead.
My gosh.
Aren't you in shock?
Who knew Ga Heun would return as Hwaipeu Fund's new CEO?
My gosh.
But she talks about innovation and reform as soon as she comes.
I have no idea what she's thinking.
Honey. What did she say to you?
She knows about what happened with Oman Group 30 years ago.
What? So?
What does she plan to do?
She says she'll chop up Jewang and sell off the pieces like Oman.
Honey. I think Ga Heun...
has lost her mind.
When I saw her earlier, I saw murder in her eyes.
You don't think she figured out...
that you sent someone to kill Ji Na Hwang, do you?
That's absurd!
Regardless of how Ji Na Hwang died,
we had nothing to do with it.
She got lost in the mountain because of her dementia and died.
That's all we know.
That's what Mr. Kim told you too.
Yes, that's right.
Yes.
Make sure to silence Na Wook Do.
If Ga Heun finds out about that too,
I'm done for.
All of my efforts for my entry into politics...
will go up in smoke.
Of course. I'll make sure of it.
Ga Heun is back to openly ruin our lives.
She's completely different from when she was Eun Jo in hiding.
If she received all of Ji Na Hwang's authority,
she'll get involved with my movie too.
She wouldn't fire me, would she?
What about my DDM Venus?
It won't fall through just before our launch, will it?
What did the chairman say?
Did Ga Heun threaten him?
She flat out told him...
she'll chop up Jewang Group.
When she yapped about innovation...
and complete reform...
in front of the board,
it was her declaration of war.
She came back as Ga Heun...
to get revenge on us.
What happens to me then?
We'll still launch DDM Venus, won't we?
Who cares about that right now?
What about my movie? She won't kick me out too, will she?
Who cares about the movie right now?
If Ga Heun digs into the kickbacks I took from subcontractors,
I'll be fired too.
Servant. What's going on with DDM Venus's launch?
You took my designs. Why are there no updates?
Oh no.
How do I tell her the launch may go out the window?
Ga Heun became Hwaipeu Fund's new CEO,
so the vice president is nervous.
So? Did Ga Heun say she'll cancel the launch?
Yes, I think she will.
What do I do?
Ms. Geum doesn't care about DDM Venus at all.
She's only concerned about protecting herself.
Se Rin. That's why I said to gather dirt on her.
You said she embezzled company funds to prepare for the launch, right?
Did you obtain evidence?
That's right.
Of course. I have a recording.
Send me a copy.
You need to be careful about threatening someone who's cornered.
I'll tell you when to do it.
She's right. That's why Ha Ra took the security footage from me.
Okay, I will.
If Ms. Geum is audited and they search my office again,
I'm really done for.
DDM Queen should hold onto it.
(Voice 001, Save, Save as)
Okay. Got it.
Good work, servant.
Should I use this evidence from Se Rin...
to play Russian Roulette to determine the first target?
This is evidence from Se Rin of Geum Eun Hwa's embezzlement.
Send a copy to Jewang's audit team...
and propose the vice president's dismissal.
Yes, ma'am.
There is a separate recording that Ms. Hwang left...
personally for you.
For me?
Ms. Hwang left this for you...
separately from her will.
Furthermore, all the paperwork has been filed...
for your taking over as CEO.
My daughter, Ga Heun.
I'm in your room right now.
I...
still can't believe it.
That I'll forget you little by little...
because of dementia.
I am very afraid.
If by chance...
I can't recognize you...
and end up hurting you,
please forgive me.
Meeting you...
five years ago where I lost my daughter...
was my destiny.
Since you had the same target of revenge,
I wanted to relieve my 30-year grudge.
Because only you...
could understand.
I don't think I'll get to watch the completion of that revenge.
I'm sorry.
My life has been like a dream...
thanks to you.
I'll tell Ga Heun about you when I meet her.
That you were ever so gracious and that you just shone.
Ga Heun.
I wish you would shake off the burdens of your heart...
and become happy as Eun Jo very soon.
I love you.
Thank you...
for giving me your place.
I promise I'll finish...
what you couldn't accomplish.
I swear.
What? The board is meeting...
to discuss my dismissal?
Yes. Hwang Ga Heun submitted evidence...
of money you embezzled to launch DDM Venus...
to the audit team.
How did she get that?
Mr. Kim. Are you sure you did your job right?
Yes, I did. But...
You call this doing it right?
It's Ga Heun of all people.
She's here to get rid of me!
Please calm down.
You must put back the 7,000,000 dollars you embezzled.
That way, you'll have something to say at the board meeting.
Seven million dollars?
Where can I get that now?
They're voting to dismiss you?
That's right. They found out that I embezzled...
from the company's welfare fund to launch DDM Venus.
How did Ga Heun find out?
I know.
What about the launch?
Ga Heun ordered a thorough investigation.
No. I need to make a comeback.
I worked so hard on DDM Venus.
She has us in a chokehold.
We must stop her before things get worse.
Otherwise, you and I are finished!
How can we stop her? There's nothing we can do.
Can't you think of something?
Anyway, why can't I reach Wook Do?
I wanted to tell him to get rid of Ga Heun.
Should we just beg Ga Heun...
for forgiveness and mercy?
Why should we beg her?
Se Rin. You must be used to begging...
since you've always been a servant,
but not the Jewang family.
Don't you do anything to humiliate me.
Don't even think about doing something that degrading!
Okay.
Hello, Mr. Kim. To what do I owe the pleasure?
What were you doing?
What? Me?
I was doing yoga.
It helps cultivate the mind.
That's good.
Then keep doing yoga and cultivating your mind.
Don't come to the shoots anymore.
What do you mean?
I warned you.
You revised and deleted scenes and lines that you didn't like,
including scenes that were already shot.
I told you that was a breach of contract.
So? Are you saying you'll fire me?
No. You've already been fired.
Mr. Kim!
"Female Detective X" is my movie. I'm Oh Ha Ra.
I know how impudent but passionate you are about acting,
but it was Hwaipeu Fund's new CEO's decision.
It's out of my hands.
My mom is a co-investor.
Ms. Hwang can't fire me just because she wants to!
Didn't you hear?
Your mother just called.
She pulled out her investment.
She must need cash.
She demanded her money back.
What? What did you just say?
Listen up.
That's not all.
Hwaipeu Fund's new CEO is suing you for breach of contract.
This isn't just your movie. It's my movie as well.
The movie is about to be canceled because of you.
I won't just take this sitting down!
Please, don't just take it.
Do everything you can to change Ms. Hwang's mind.
If you don't, I'll make sure you never act again.
I ruined everything because you made me waver.
My mistaken belief that I can return to being Eun Jo killed Mom!
So don't try so hard to make me return...
to being Eun Jo anymore.
You heard, right?
Ms. Hwang found proof that Stepmom embezzled company funds.
Yes, I heard.
Sun Hyuk. I should be happy that Stepmom is cornered.
So why does it feel bittersweet?
Knowing Ms. Hwang is aiming her sword...
at Father, me, and this company, I'm frightened.
I have no way of stopping Eun Jo either.
I know. Who can stop her?
You're very worried about her, aren't you?
Yes, I am. Eun Jo will get hurt...
by her own sword.
Sure. Even I can tell she isn't normal right now.
She's like a suicide bomber running toward her revenge.
I'm afraid something will happen to her.
We have to make her stop somehow,
but I can't think of a way either.
(Resignation)
Bo Mi, what is a letter of resignation?
It means we quit. We're quitting our jobs here.
Eun Jo is the boss now.
So naturally, we should leave.
- Yap! - What's your problem?
Bo Mi. Eun Gyul will not abandon Eun Jo.
Bo Mi is disloyal.
You don't know anything. We have to quit.
Eun Gyul. It's no use waiting for Eun Jo anymore.
She won't come back to us.
You're wrong.
Eun Jo's brain is broken right now.
We must wait.
You're wrong! We have to cut ties with her.
Here's our letter of resignation. We quit.
No... Not Eun Gyul.
Eun Gyul will wait for Eun Jo...
Both of us quit as of today, so process our resignation.
Must you do this?
Yes, I must.
Fine.
At least stay until we find your replacements.
What? Look at her abusing her power now that she's the CEO.
Bo Mi. Abusing power is you...
forcefully covering my mouth.
Darn it.
Ma'am. Cha Sun Hyuk is here to see you.
Show him in.
What brings you here?
You haven't eaten, have you?
Mother packed this for you.
What are you trying to do?
Eat. Mother said to make sure I see you eat.
Did any of you hear what I said?
I'm not Eun Jo.
I will never return to being Eun Jo.
Ga Heun needs to eat too.
Fine, I'll eat.
Eat slowly.
This is just food.
Mother didn't pack it to make you come home.
And I'm not here to stop you from taking revenge.
Whatever you do,
I want you to take care of yourself. That's why I'm here.
Don't think about anything and eat comfortably.
I'll go now.
Why haven't you eaten them yet?
The end pieces are the crown jewels of gimbap.
I'll eat if Eun Jo eats.
Sun Hyuk. How's Eun Jo?
Is she eating the gimbap?
Yes. I gave it to her and watched her eat.
Good. Thank you so much.
Okay. Bye.
Goodness. What did he say?
She's eating, right?
Even if she's in shock because the woman who saved her...
suddenly passed away,
how could she say such hurtful things to her mom?
What kind of terrible daughter does that?
Why do you care about that brat?
And another thing. How could you make my son...
deliver the food to her?
Eun Jo must have a reason for acting that way.
A reason? Like what?
Gosh. Forget it. I don't want to hear it.
How could she cut ties with her family...
for five whole years when she was alive and well?
Gosh. Even that makes me hate her.
Hold on.
Come to think of it, there's a lot that's suspicious.
She came back as Ga Heun...
and pretended not to know us.
She made my son get divorced.
Fine. Making him get a divorce was a good thing.
That witch Ha Ra...
was a total psycho.
I'm sure she had a reason for all of that.
You're seriously so frustrating.
What is that reason?
She fell off the face of the earth five years ago.
I mean... She didn't even draw a mole on her face.
What? Are you saying she came back as Ga Heun...
determined to take revenge or something?
Revenge?
That's it. That's totally it.
Hey. Soon Jung. That's why...
That's why she kicked Tae Sik out,
got you your house back...
Oh my gosh. Eun Jo...
Hey. Maybe...
something huge happened to her five years ago.
Are you kidding me?
You said you had the money.
Are you asking for the drugs with this?
Seriously. What a waste of time.
Wait. Hold on, Dr. Choi.
I'll die without that drug.
Have mercy on this poor soul. Please.
Are you kidding me right now?
I'm not a charity. Got that?
Here. So... Will this do?
No.
This isn't even close.
Then what must I do?
Will you get on your knees and beg?
Get on my knees?
That's not hard.
If doing this will make you give me the drug,
I'll get on my knees a million times over.
- You stole Ms. Bae's money! - Why you...
Boss. I'll take care of punks like him.
Okay. Good.
You're good at your job.
You should kneel before my dad, not me.
My dad died because of you, Ju Tae Sik.
Thank you. Thank you! Thank you.
Thank you.
Ju Tae Sik kneeled before you?
Yes. He is completely addicted to that drug now.
He is?
Then it's time to cut him off.
I'll let you know once I decide on the order.
Ma'am. Se Rin is here to see you.
Se Rin?
Don't sit. Just say why you're here.
Eun Jo.
I'm sorry.
Everything I did to you was due to my inferiority complex.
It was always my wish to beat you at least once.
But no matter how hard I tried,
I could never catch up to you because you were gifted.
So?
You said...
you'd give me a chance to compete against you fairly.
I really want to compete against you and win at least once.
So...
please don't stop...
DDM Venus from launching. Please?
I'm begging you.
You want to compete against me fairly.
Fine. I'll give you that chance.
But get on your knees and beg.
What?
Call off the vote on your dismissal?
Yes, Ms. Hwang. Please do that for me.
I'll withdraw my investment in Ha Ra's movie...
to put back the money I embezzled from the company.
I know you have a lot of anger pent up against me,
but you should give me a chance to defend myself.
Don't you agree?
You'll withdraw your investment in your daughter's movie...
to protect your job.
Fine. I'll call it off.
But get on your knees and beg.
What... What was that?
You got on your knees before me in the past for Ha Ra.
Eun Jo. Don't fire me from the movie.
Why must I do that?
You changed my script as you pleased.
I won't.
I'll follow your script exactly as it's written.
I've put my all into this movie.
I don't want to admit it, but this movie will be...
a huge hit.
And I need that.
I need to win Best Actress.
Fine. But get on your knees and beg.
Don't be disingenuous like last time.
Be sincere and desperate.
What was that?
Did you think it over?
Oh Byung Gook sent you to kill my mom, didn't he?
Promise me...
that you'll leave Se Rin alone if I testify.
I'm not so sure about that.
I was wrong.
You're right. Chairman Oh Byung Gook sent me.
I'll testify. I'll beg.
So please don't hurt Se Rin.
You got on your knees for Se Rin.
How touching.
Have you decided with whom you'll begin?
Everyone crumbled when it came to their greed.
I was wrong.
You're right. Chairman Oh Byung Gook sent me.
I'll testify.
I'll beg.
So please don't hurt Se Rin.
At least Na Wook Do got on his knees for Se Rin.
For that stupid love.
That's why I'll start with Se Rin.
That despicable love killed Mom.
And they felt no guilt.
Se Rin.
I'll send you to the fiery pit first thanks to Na Wook Do.
There,
you'll meet DDM Queen, whom you fear the most.
(Miss Monte-Cristo)
It's your political fund.
You should make your entrance.
They plan to win Chairman Tak over to their side.
Get a video of their meeting.
My queen, this is to show my devotion to you.
I hear you plan to run for office.
Please be my husband's kingmaker.
Se Rin. You are me and I am you.
Tell us the truth.
What happened five years ago in Ha Ra's vacation house?
I'll become like you tomorrow.
I'll be just like you, Eun Jo.
I'll go to you tomorrow. Just wait, servant.
Please come and congratulate me on becoming a queen.
Servant. It's time to meet.
