(Final Episode)
It's me.
Min Ho.
I saw the news.
You're not thinking of doing anything bad, are you?
It's cowardly to just die.
You should be an adult...
and take responsibility for what you did wrong.
That's the kind of dad I want.
If you're gone, I'll become an orphan.
And I really don't want that.
I can't reach my brother.
I'm worried if he's okay.
He'll be fine. Don't worry.
Suk Hwan.
Where were you? I was worried.
I came to apologize before going to the police station.
I can't let Mom take full responsibility.
If I had taken the responsibility for Min Ho when he was born,
none of this would've happened.
It's all my fault.
I'm very sorry...
for what happened to your husband.
I'm sorry...
for framing things on you.
Suk Hwan.
I'm sorry if I put you through a hard time.
It's all because I was small-minded.
By the way,
did you really tell Eun Ju to make a paper company?
I made her...
turn into the person she is today.
You're also going to take the fall for what she did?
That's all I can do...
for her.
And one more thing.
I want you to process my resignation.
Suk Hwan.
I wanted to meet you before going to the police station.
Are you okay?
Of course.
I'm all better thanks to you.
I'm sorry I neglected you...
when you were born.
I think...
I'm going to regret it for the rest of my life.
I've forgiven you for that, so don't feel that way.
Min Ho.
It still doesn't change the fact that we're father and son.
Of course.
You're my son.
Okay.
I'll be off now.
Can I hug you?
Take care.
Dad.
What did you just say?
Mr. Kang Suk Hwan testified that he asked you...
to create a paper company...
and embezzle the company's money.
Suk Hwan really said that?
You also told us that he made you do it.
I asked those gangsters...
to beat up Park Tae Seob.
If I didn't do that,
my mom wouldn't have ordered them to kill him.
Ms. Kim Hae Jeong testified that she did everything on her own.
She's lying to protect me.
My mom did what she did because of me.
So have me locked up instead, and let her go.
If you can't do that,
can you at least investigate her without detention?
She kept her crimes a secret for seven years.
She might try to get rid of evidence or run away,
so I don't think it'll be possible...
for her to get a suspension of confinement.
Is Eun Ju still at the police station?
They're investigating where she got the money to create a slush fund.
So it's taking some time.
Suk Hwan is also getting investigated.
I can't believe my son-in-law and daughter...
are getting investigated by the police.
Why did she even create a slush fund in the first place...
when she was already married into a rich family?
Tae Woo.
Your sister is getting investigated! Is that the best you can say?
I already had a bad feeling when she decided to marry Suk Hwan.
What's so wrong with marrying a guy...
who has a nice background?
Tae Woo, you should go upstairs.
I'm just upset. That's why.
If you're really upset, you wouldn't say something so harsh!
And you can't possibly be more upset than me.
My daughter... My sweetheart...
What's going to happen to my daughter?
(Procedure for Remedy...)
(Against Infringement of the Rights of Inmates)
Why are you here?
It must be uncomfortable and difficult to be here.
Suk Hwan went to the police station...
and testified that he was the one who ordered those guys...
to assault Park Tae Seob.
That's nonsense.
He's just making things up.
Tell him to testify again.
Suk Hwan wants to pay for what he did wrong.
I did everything I could to help him come this far.
Why is he trying to ruin it all?
No, I can't let that happen. Suk Hwan is lying.
Honey.
Will he end up going to court?
Most likely.
I'm sorry. It's all my fault.
I feel like I'm the one who made you and Suk Hwan turn out this way.
And it really breaks my heart.
Please don't neglect Suk Hwan.
Nothing changes the fact that he's my child.
Why would I ever neglect him?
I told you I want a divorce.
So next time you come, bring the divorce papers.
I still care about you too.
I know the food won't taste good,
but don't skip your meals.
Tae Woo's mother is sick in bed...
because she's upset that Eun Ju got arrested.
She was always willing to do anything for her daughter.
I'm not surprised she's like that.
I can already imagine how horrible she must've been to you.
She's a nasty woman.
Even so, she's still Soon Jeong's mother-in-law.
She's not married yet.
Soon Jeong is pregnant.
- What? - She's going to marry Tae Woo.
Congratulations.
Thank you.
I guess Tae Woo listened to me.
I knew it.
What do you mean?
What? No, it's nothing.
By the way,
I think Min Ho read the news article.
He seems worried about his dad.
His biological father came to see him...
right before he went to the police station.
I feel so bad for Min Ho.
(We care with sincerity and lead in the right direction.)
Your son is here. I'll leave you to talk to him.
You should try convincing your mother.
She keeps saying she did everything.
Mom.
Why are you getting investigated?
You knew nothing.
I told Park Tae Seob to show up at that place.
And I asked those guys to beat him up.
Get to your senses, Suk Hwan.
Mom, it's over now.
No. It's not over.
Just keep your mouth shut and do your best to get released.
Ask for the vice-chairperson seat...
and wait for the right opportunity.
You're the only bloodline of the Kang family.
You need to take over the company.
What's the use?
You and Eun Ju won't be there with me.
What's the point of being in that position?
I told you to get to your senses!
I wasn't qualified enough to be the chairman.
Things turned out this way because I tried...
to become the chairman to meet up to your standards.
So what? Are you just going to give up?
I never deserved that position.
Mom, we've done enough.
Once I'm done doing my time,
I'll go and live at our farm in Pyeongchang.
What are you going to do there?
I'll just spend time doing farm work and wait for you to get released.
Stay healthy while you're here, and once you're out,
let's live an easy-going life.
You're unbelievable.
Why did you lie and tell the police that you did it?
Because if I didn't,
the police would've found out that you lied.
You always reminded me...
of my mom.
I feel like everyone I ever cared for...
all just disappeared.
I wanted to make you happy.
I'm really sorry.
If you want,
we can get a divorce.
You told me you wanted to make...
an additional statement after meeting Mr. Kang Suk Hwan.
What do you want to tell me?
I lied.
Suk Hwan knew nothing.
I did it all on my own.
(Principal Choi Eun Ja)
Did the foundation tell you to quit?
I can't possibly come here...
after what happened to Eun Ju.
Mom.
I worked as a teacher for 35 years.
But it has come to an end like this.
We know you worked really hard.
Don't tell Eun Ju.
Okay, I won't.
Now, I just need to see you and Suk Joon get married.
I'm not sure if it's right to get married in this situation.
Because of Suk Joon's mother and brother?
Are you not going to get married until they get released?
Just get married if Suk Joon says it's okay.
She's right.
People get on with their lives even when their loved ones die.
That's life.
Even if we do have a wedding,
I just want it to be a small one with just our families.
Right. Almost everyone in his family got arrested.
I guess you're not in a situation to have a big wedding.
Now that Suk Joon is the chairman,
you should ask him for a higher position.
I'm going to quit.
- What? - Why?
I feel like I need to be gone...
in order to help him focus on managing the company.
Then what are you going to do?
What I always wanted to do.
Are you going to teach again?
I'll have to try applying to different schools.
Is Suk Joon okay with this idea?
I'm sure he'll respect my decision.
Why would you do that when your husband is a chairman?
You'll only be wasting your time and energy.
People belong in different places.
And I think I belong in a school.
(LX Group Personnel Appointment)
(Hong Su Gyeong: Promoted, Wang Ki Beom: Promoted)
Ki Beom, you're an assistant manager now.
And you're the general manager.
Congratulations, you guys.
Thank you.
Why didn't you get promoted, Pil Jeong?
I have another job for her.
What's that?
Why are we here?
Didn't you always want to come back?
Yes, I did miss this place.
Pil Jeong.
You should teach here again.
This is where you belong.
Suk Joon.
I had the foundation appoint you as a full-time teacher.
You helped the kids win an award,
and you were more than qualified to get the job.
I'm just returning things back to normal.
Go ahead and teach kids for as long as you want.
The reason I'm quitting...
Yes, I know.
You stayed at the company to help me, and you're leaving...
for the same reason.
Now, it's your turn to finally make your dream come true.
Then why don't we get married here at the schoolyard?
Here?
Back when I was struggling,
you cheered me on and supported my dream.
This is where I want to marry you...
and restart my teaching career.
Okay, sure. I think it will be very meaningful.
Thank you for understanding.
It's going to be a very special wedding.
This is embarrassing.
You shouldn't have come.
I'm so sorry.
I should've been more understanding.
I wasn't a good dad.
I was the bad son.
I can only imagine...
how difficult it must've been for you.
I'm sorry, Suk Hwan.
I won't...
resent you anymore.
All my life, I tried so hard to get your approval.
But now,
I want to be a good father that Min Ho approves of.
Suk Hwan.
Stay healthy, Dad.
And...
when Suk Joon gets married,
tell the kids to move in with you.
You'll feel a lot less lonely...
if the kids live with you.
You should eat.
Eun Ju probably can't even eat properly right now.
I don't deserve to eat anything.
Everyone's worried about you...
including me.
You?
I bet you're smiling deep down inside.
You're Tae Woo's mother, and that means you're my mother too.
I would never feel that way.
I'm also worried and upset...
about what happened to Tae Woo's sister.
I can't go to the school anymore.
What am I going to do now?
You can spend time with me.
My mom passed away early,
so I still have so much to learn.
Can you teach me things like how you'd teach a daughter?
What?
I just want to get along with you.
I'm surprised you agreed to meet me.
You had nothing, but you were always so confident...
and loved by many people.
I hated that.
I felt that way ever since we were students.
I was always envious of you.
You have a mother who will always be there to take your side.
You also have a kind brother and a warm-hearted uncle.
You always had what I didn't have.
I was foolish.
I'm sorry I framed you...
for accepting a bribe.
I was worried people might find out about my past.
So I bullied you a lot hoping that you'd leave.
I'll repent and pay for my sins here.
In the end,
you've won.
Do you still hate me?
I only care about Suk Hwan.
I envy him.
You'd better not look down on him just because you have it all.
If you do, I won't forgive you.
I'll have him return to the company once he gets released.
I need his help.
You act like you care so much about him.
Dad's really worried.
I hope you stay healthy.
Take good care...
of your father.
I still liked you despite everything.
Don't be sick. Stay healthy.
I'll come back.
Congratulations on your wedding.
You guys should fix a wedding date...
after your sister gets married.
Mom.
Can we really get married?
You're going to get married anyway.
You should get married before your baby bump shows,
so you look pretty in your wedding photos.
Thank you.
I have a lot to teach you,
so you'll be busy at home.
Okay.
And Tae Woo, you should try visiting your sister.
She doesn't want anyone to visit.
She even refused to meet you.
I doubt she'll want to meet me.
My sister managed to meet her.
Then why won't she meet me?
We all know why.
Let's just wait.
You're really going to quit?
It's quite surprising that you're quitting...
right after Director Kang got appointed as the chairman.
I had fun at work thanks to you guys.
Are you going to teach again?
Yes.
Then who's going to do all the miscellaneous work...
once you leave the team?
We're going to start hiring new people next week.
How many will be joining the team?
Do you think four will be enough?
That many?
We got a call from a home shopping company in Beijing...
saying they wish to sell our products.
Then do you have to go all the way to China?
Only two people from our PR team will be going.
I'm going, too.
You're also going?
Tomorrow's the wedding. Aren't you going on a honeymoon?
Pil Jeong is going to come with me. That's going to be our honeymoon.
Oh, come on.
Are you trying to make me jealous?
See? I told you he wouldn't like it.
That was actually the plan.
But I figured you'd react this way, so I decided to leave it to you.
Make sure you do a good job.
Okay, don't worry about work.
Just have fun on your honeymoon.
I can't believe you're Bok Soon's little brother.
Thank you for taking good care of both my sister and Suk Joon.
But I really had no idea.
I thought you killed my sister.
Your father passed away because of me.
What I've done can't make up for that.
I feel like you ended up like this because of my wife.
I'm sorry.
No, don't be sorry.
It's my fault...
for misunderstanding you.
I hope you stay healthy...
until I get released.
Okay.
Once you're out,
let's go for a drink.
Sure.
Let's do that.
They're showing off what they're going to wear tomorrow...
at your wedding.
What do you think, Mom?
You look handsome, and you look pretty.
If I wear this, I'll be the prettiest person tomorrow.
Min Ji, your mom needs to be the prettiest person tomorrow.
Then my mom and I will be the prettiest.
- Right, Mom? - Yes.
How do I look?
You look great, Mr. Oh.
Pil Jeong bought me this suit.
Is that why you're so happy?
Yes, of course. It's a gift from my daughter.
My sweetheart, live a happy life.
Okay, I will.
Let's welcome the bride and groom.
You look gorgeous.
You look beautiful.
You look so pretty.
My sister looks beautiful.
When we get married, you'll look even more beautiful.
Live happily.
Here we go.
In 1, 2, 3.
