You were in charge, so you should know something.
Bok Hee, don't kid yourself.
Chairman Ko isn't just your dad.
He's been my dad for over 30 years.
Right. So look into it with that in mind.
Do you think financial authorities and the prosecutors are pushovers?
Someone filed a complaint as there was a problem with the books.
And the prosecutors must be...
investigating it as there is a possibility of an offense.
What?
Don't make a scene.
If he had done nothing wrong, there's no reason for him to refuse.
It hasn't been that long since he got the surgery.
Although I don't know,
I heard getting investigated by the prosecutors is hard,
so I'm worried about his health.
Is it a waste to have given up your liver for a sinner?
Hey, watch your mouth.
As you mentioned, he raised you for over 30 years.
You wouldn't dare say that to a stranger.
Don't worry.
Whatever it takes, I'm going to save Dad this time.
Even if there's something wrong with APlus warehouse,
I'll be responsible for it.
Yes, Mom.
Okay. I'll drop by tonight.
I'm here.
What in the world is going on?
What is APlus, and what did Dad do to it?
I'm not sure where that document came from.
Do you really not know?
Si Kyung also told you that it's flawless accounting wise.
Anyway, since I was in charge of it, if there is any problem,
I'll go and testify.
So don't worry too much.
All right. Thank you.
Honey, Sang Ah will testify.
Don't worry about it.
Since it's been forwarded to the prosecution,
this time, I'll definitely hold the emergency board of directors.
I'm going to corner him in and out and dismiss him for good.
I'm going to come back.
You just wait and see.
I released a nice article about this.
Enjoy.
"Chairman K of S Group is the center of a controversial story."
"About his daughter who had been kept hidden."
"Endless rumors." What the heck is this?
Yes?
Did you see the article?
Yes.
I think they're determined to bring the chairman down...
by adding rumors to my story.
With the tax audit and the articles,
the situation is turning for the worst, isn't it?
Can't I step up and explain?
I'll tell them the articles are exaggerated,
so don't believe everything they say.
I know how you feel,
but it'd be better not to explain things like that.
Once you're exposed to the media, they'll tear you apart.
It'd be too hard for you.
(Group email: Concerning emergency board of directors)
For goodness' sake.
(Mom)
The number you have dialed is not available. Please leave...
Director, the prosecutors are searching the chairman's office.
What?
The tabloid and even a tax audit.
Good job.
I told you I'll drive him to the edge in one go.
Right. This will do, won't it?
What about the directors? Are they going to attend?
The chairman embezzled funds.
They all volunteered to come without me convincing them.
Mrs. Wang won't be able to attend,
but this time, she supports those who agree with the dismissal.
Good.
But don't let your guard down until the end.
Dad will try to stop this with Si Kyung on his side.
I won't.
I started from scratch to come this far.
I've never let my guard down ever since.
That's right.
You've worked your way up.
And that's why I held hands with you.
Right. Let's see the end of this.
You should leak fabricated information...
to vendors that Shinsang Group will go bankrupt soon.
Followed by the dismissal,
it's now his fortune.
Yes.
I'm going to suspend all transactions...
so that he cannot operate the company normally.
Then the banks with Shinsang's bonds will feel pressed.
Right.
In the meantime, if we drive them...
to the wall about them giving illegal loans to Shinsang,
then they'll try to spare themselves.
They'll issue a collection of funds.
Then they'll hit a big blow.
Dad won't be able to handle seeing his company go down.
We're almost there.
We lowered our guards.
Will the board of directors be held this time?
Because of the criminal charges and tabloids,
majority of directors notified their attendance.
How could this happen like it had been set up?
They prepared a lot.
Yes, sir.
What did you say?
What do you mean by bankruptcy?
What do you mean Shinsang Corporation...
is on the verge of bankruptcy?
What is going on?
The vendors canceled their contracts.
So the banks have issued a collection of the loan.
Why?
The stocks are plummeting,
and there's a rumor that Shinsang is going down.
How could this happen?
Try extending the due date as much as you can.
If it's not retrieved by tomorrow,
they'll suspend the account.
The problem is, it doesn't end with the corporation,
but the distribution is facing a crisis too.
Contact Samjung.
Liquidate all my shares and fortune,
and find out if you can stop the corporation from going bankrupt.
If you use your shares,
it'd endanger your control over the company.
You want me to watch it go to dust in front of my eyes?
What's next then?
It's distribution. It must be.
That's how this will start and fall down one by one.
I shed blood and sweat to build this company.
You want me to sit and watch it go down?
If you need to let go, you must let go.
If not, everything will go down with it.
How did it go?
Samjung came over.
Samjung is the one who manages the chairman's personal property, right?
He'll use everything he's got to stop the bankruptcy.
I see.
Strangely, the prosecution hasn't even started investigating,
but the media keeps making a racket saying the crime is confirmed.
They want to taint the chairman's reputation...
regardless of the investigation result.
Out of the directors who are to attend tomorrow,
no one is picking up other than Adviser Jung and Adviser Park.
How would Mrs. Wang take this?
Will she attend tomorrow?
It'd be good if she sides with us on the board of directors.
I'm not sure.
Everything is going against the chairman.
Then why don't we use that?
How?
During the crisis,
the chairman will sell his estate to save the company.
Let's send emails emphasizing that...
and make a report of it and hand it out to the directors tomorrow.
That's a great idea.
Sang Ah.
What's going on?
Mom.
Nothing will happen to the company, right?
The company is in crisis.
But we're trying what we can, so I'm sure nothing will happen.
Yes.
We should overcome this.
Or else, we'll be in trouble.
Dad sold all his fortune.
I gave up mine too.
The house and everything.
Really?
Dad and the company are inseparable.
He'll get through it this time too. Don't worry.
They're using their own money to stop it. It's going as planned.
Mess with the distribution this time.
All right. Good work, Jung Woo.
Chairman Ko.
When tomorrow comes, I will see you crumble...
before the company falls.
Mom. Are you going to be like this until the end?
Why should you do this?
I think I got it through to you.
I told you it's a misunderstanding.
You just want to believe that way.
Don't stand in my way.
I'm standing in your way as I have no choice.
You are taking the wrong path.
How naive of you.
You're trying to stab me in the back.
Move over.
Si Kyung.
You have always...
taken the long line.
It's not late to stand behind me.
I guess you don't remember...
but I don't take lines.
I don't live...
holding onto a wrong line hoping I will gain something.
That wrong line is your mother.
So can you say that?
You criticize Sang Ah who stabbed her father in the back.
But do you think you are any different?
At least, I...
don't take my place by bringing someone else down.
Don't shoot your mouth off when you don't know about Sang Ah.
She's more honest than you...
and she's not pretentious like you.
Is this what it is?
I'm not interested in Sang Ah,
so keep those personal feelings to yourselves.
I am CEO Grace Jung of X Fund, a shareholder of Shinsang Group.
As there may be misunderstandings about my company,
I will say this in advance.
As a major shareholder,
we are taking a sacrificial step for a better Shinsang Group.
We started this prepared to be criticized.
I would like to thank the directors...
who have shown interest in this matter.
As you know, Shinsang Group,
is in a management crisis...
due to financial strains and plummet in shares.
Chairman Ko has currently been reported to the prosecution...
on charges of embezzlement and breach of trust.
I believe you have looked through...
the documents that I have distributed so far.
So I will proceed with the Board of Directors.
For the directors...
who are worried about their connections to him,
we will cast a secret ballot.
Bok Hee. What is this supposed to be?
The prosecutors just came here and ransacked this place.
What about Father?
He's in the study and he won't budge.
The investigators made a mess, but he won't let me clean it up.
Father.
I'm sorry I can't be of help to you.
Before casting the ballot,
we will take a last look at Chairman Ko's issue.
As said on the papers that I have distributed,
the core of this issue...
is the two sets of books on APlus.
The one in charge who can testify about...
what happened at the time is here with us.
I am Ko Sang Ah the director who was in charge...
of APlus as a client.
APlus is...
Sang Ah said she will testify.
So it's going to be okay.
Right?
Yes. It will.
Nothing is going to happen.
I should go to the company.
APlus was a client that I was in charge of.
But it is a paper company made to store slush funds.
Manager Kim Joong Ki, who is missing right now...
made a paper company on Chairman's orders...
and has been money laundering.
I realized about it halfway...
and tried to correct things,
but Manager Kim said he couldn't as it was on the chairman's orders.
I should've blown this up then.
But I want to be the whistleblower when the company is in a crisis.
He is the chairman...
but also my father...
so I had to keep silent so far.
Please forgive me.
I am sorry.
Now, we will start casting the secret ballot.
Sang Ah.
I heard you went to the Board of Directors to testify.
I'm on my way out from there.
The meeting for the dismissal of Chairman Ko.
In favor.
Dismissal.
In favor.
Dismissal.
Against.
Dismissal.
Against.
The last vote.
If this vote is in favor,
Chairman Ko will be dismissed.
Dismissal.
In favor.
The resolution to remove the chairman has been passed.
All the unfortunate things happened after you showed up.
Kidnapping, tax audit,
and the dismissal of the chairman.
You're the one who brings all the trouble.
What have Si Kyung and you been doing?
This didn't happen when I was the CEO.
Well, I know.
Why does this keep happening? It's as if it's been set up.
Have you...
joined hands with X Fund and schemed all this?
Don't kid yourself.
I warned you not to be cocky.
If dad...
or Shinsang Group collapses, it's all because of you.
Everything started...
with you, Bok Hee.
I'm warning you too.
If you make the chairman or Shinsang Group fall,
I will crush you.
I'll bring back everything that has fallen,
and slam you to the ground...
so you can't even get up.
Where is Manager Kim Joong Ki?
You had Manager Kim to make two sets of books...
and got a slush fund. You admit it, right?
If you keep taking the Fifth,
it could be unfavorable for you in the trial.
We won't go easy on you because you are the chairman.
My client has the right to remain silent.
If you close up when the evidence is solid,
it will be obstructing the investigation,
so you can get aggravated punishment.
A recent precedent says regarding the right to remain silent...
as obstruction and forcing to make a statement...
is an illegal act of the investigation agency.
I guess you didn't know yet.
So what happens now?
Will he be continuously dragged to the prosecutor's office like this?
The prosecutor has requested an arrest warrant,
so there will be a warrant application hearing soon.
A decision will be made there on whether he'll get arrested or not.
Goodness me.
Goodness me. My heart is pounding.
I'm scared.
It's just a unilateral argument of the prosecutor's office,
so don't worry too much.
It will work out.
- Honey. - Yes.
I won't have dinner and wait for you.
So come back soon.
All right.
Don't worry.
Eat first if I'm late.
Then we'll get going.
Don't worry. We shouldn't have any problems.
Hello.
How did it go?
He got arrested?
All right.
Shinsang Group's Chairman Ko Choong, who was being investigated by...
the prosecutor's office on charges of embezzlement and breach of trust,
was arrested today through the warrant application hearing.
Chairman Ko Choong regarded with suspicion...
of embezzling tens of millions of dollars through a paper company,
is said to be strongly denying the charges.
The court decided to imprison Chairman Ko because the amount...
of embezzlement was high and the guilt was bad,
and though he has a disease, life in prison will not be difficult.
Mother. Are you okay?
Gosh!
What do we do now?
How can I live without him? My goodness.
He will be released soon. So...
you have to pull yourself together.
(Ko Sang Ah)
Ko Sang Ah. How can you do this?
What did I do?
How can you put the blame on him?
You'll want to believe that.
As you appeared late and he laid a silken road for you,
so even if it's slippery, you'll want...
to believe he's a good person in a good way.
What are you going to do if he really did that secretly?
A punishment is not enough for you.
Then I'll receive 10,000 or 10 million times more.
That is if I'm guilty.
First, I'm going to look into sick bail.
Then I will get the documents from the chairman's surgery.
What is Mrs. Jo doing?
I stopped by before coming to work, but she couldn't eat anything.
Since the chairman needs consistent medication treatment,
he will probably be able to be released on sick bail.
Yes. I hope so.
(Director Yu Jung Woo)
Sit down.
I wasn't thinking of a director position.
Then, were you hoping for a higher position?
Is that so?
You're there because you deserve it.
Since the CEO position is vacant,
I got this position...
by receiving written consent from the directors directly.
Thank you.
Now the problem is the CEO position.
The directors are not easy.
Especially, that woman Mrs. Wang.
She's a big investor in Myeong-dong.
Most of the directors close to Ko Choong are on Mrs. Wang's side,
so they won't let us do whatever we want.
I'll take charge of Mrs. Wang from now on.
Okay. This is only the beginning.
Let's take over everything of Shinsang Group in order.
Yes.
What?
He was released on sick bail?
All right.
Was Dad released on sick bail?
Then we should also take the next step.
We must not slacken the reins.
Honey.
Why are you crying?
I'm okay.
What is this?
What do we do now?
What should we do?
Honey.
Say something.
I told you not to sell my shares.
What should we do now?
We're bankrupt now.
Jung Young Sook.
What are you doing here?
It's me who won the auction.
Now that I am the owner of this house,
I want everyone to leave.
What?
What did you say?
Young Sook!
Director Yu. Help them with packing.
Okay.
What do you think you're doing?
Honey. Be careful.
Se Ra. Go inside first.
Goodbye.
You don't think the price for driving me away was harsh, right?
When you kicked out your daughter who you raised for over 30 years,
I'm sure you were ready for this.
Dad. You know well that I'm not a soft person.
Sang Ah.
What are you talking about?
You're not going...
in here by any chance, are you?
What is your relationship...
with Jung Young Sook?
As I see you suffer helplessly,
I can tell you are very old now.
Sang Ah!
Still, you found your real daughter...
who you missed and is the apple of your eye.
So it won't be a shame.
But what should I do?
You found your real daughter who will have half of your wealth,
but now you don't have any wealth to give.
You cut our bonds...
without any regrets?
You wicked...
Father. Let's go.
Don't listen to her and just go.
Park Bok Hee.
What did I tell you?
I said you'll go to your place and I'll come back to mine.
The obsession over positions...
can make someone disgraceful.
I assumed you were the one behind this,
but I didn't know you could go this far.
Even if you sit in the place you want,
a life like this can't be happy...
and it will never last to the end.
I'll keep it in mind.
Live happily with your birth parents.
I'll...
go inside and unpack.
You will regret it.
I'll make it that way for sure!
