(Episode 98)
Jin A died long ago anyway.
The night you killed my dad in a hit-and-run.
That night Ms. Min dumped my brother and me...
and went to you.
Are you satisfied?
Was this the ending that you wanted?
Everyone self-destructing together?
Would doing this...
gain you forgiveness for all of your sins?
Forgiveness?
For what?
- I never did anything wrong. - Don't make me laugh.
You deceived me, Hye Bin,
and our father.
Father?
Which father?
Jung Guk? Hyuk Sang?
What does it matter who your father is?
You're not my daughter anyway.
- You gave birth to me! - That's right.
I gave birth to you. I did.
I gave birth to you.
I gave birth to you although I didn't want to!
Mom.
Hye Bin?
My daughter.
Go to sleep.
What happened to your head? It's bleeding.
Mommy. What happened to your head? It's bleeding.
Well... I hit it on the table.
You should've been more careful.
That must hurt.
Go to sleep.
Sleep next to me tonight, Mommy.
- Should I? - Yes!
Thanks, my pretty daughter.
Mommy's scent.
I like you more than anyone or anything in the world.
Jin A.
Jin A. My daughter.
Mom.
(Hochun Seoul Hospital)
Gemma.
Are you awake?
Where am I?
A hospital.
Don't you remember?
Be careful.
You got surgery on your side, so it'll hurt a lot.
They said you lost a lot of blood.
Who...
brought me here?
Chairman Kwon.
Chairman Kwon?
Why?
What happened between you two last night?
Did he try to kill you again?
Ki Seok. Later.
Okay. Get better first.
Come in.
Gemma, you're awake.
How do you feel? Are you okay?
Yes. What about the company?
Worry about the company later. Take care of yourself first.
Let's talk for a minute.
It's an urgent matter.
Wait. Mr. Kwon.
- Last night... - Let's talk about that later.
Right now,
your recovery is our top priority.
The board decided...
to keep Father in office.
What?
They must want to wait and see.
They can't ignore...
all of his accomplishments up to this point.
I thought you'd become chairman.
I'm not that good.
And to be honest, I'm not interested in the company.
I just want to know how my mother died,
that's all.
Do you...
still think your mother was murdered?
Ki Seok.
Did your grandmother...
Never mind.
Go back in and take care of Gemma.
Wait a second.
You know, don't you?
You know what happened to Gemma last night.
Chairman Kwon...
tried to kill her, didn't he?
Tell me. He did, didn't he?
All I know is,
Father brought Gemma to the hospital...
and donated his blood...
to save her from dying.
He did?
Why did he do that?
Later.
You'll find out later.
Hello?
Sir, Lady Choi is at the restaurant right now.
- Welcome back. - Welcome back.
Where's my grandmother?
She said she was going out front and stepped outside.
What do you mean?
Gemma almost died because of Chairman Kwon?
No. I...
I misspoke. Don't mind me.
You and your big mouth.
Stop that.
Tell me everything that you know. Tell me what's going on.
It's nothing. I misspoke.
My mouth has a mind of its own.
Stop lying. Tell me the truth.
My gosh.
Well... Given what it is,
I'll tell you everything.
That jerk has been trying to kill Gemma for a while now.
I'm sure this was his doing again.
He tried to kill Gemma again.
(Nosang Chicken)
Hi.
You're back. Mr. Yoon's in.
Okay.
- Ma'am. - Mr. Yoon!
What happened?
You should rest.
- Please bring her some warm water. - Okay.
Ki Seok.
Yes?
- Ki Seok. - Yes, Grandma?
Never mind.
You should go.
I want to rest.
Gemma...
is Min Hee Kyung's daughter, whom she abandoned.
Gemma held a deep grudge...
and wanted to get revenge on her mom who abandoned her.
Chairman Kwon found out, and...
He killed Ok Kyung too.
By mistake while trying to kill Gemma.
The night...
Kim Jung Guk died after being hit by a hit-and-run driver,
Min Hee Kyung left home.
According to the people at the market,
Yoon Myung Jun was hit by a car when he went out...
to look for her because she had run away.
That's right.
Those jerks killed Myung Jun while running away.
And now, they try to kill Gemma, my granddaughter?
Yes. Those things aren't human.
They are lowly beasts.
It's me, Choi Sook Ja.
Collect on all the promissory notes from Lora Shoes...
and Lora Networks...
that you've been holding for me.
All of them. Right now.
Come in.
I need your approval for the mattress donation program...
for the elderly who live alone.
Don't skimp on the budget.
Donate as much as possible.
Yes, sir.
- Hello? - Hello, this is Soonjin Bank.
The promissory notes that Lady Choi Sook Ja held...
came in all at once just now.
I thought you should know.
What?
The promissory note due tomorrow that Lady Choi Sook Ja had...
Please take care of it as soon as you can, Mr. Hong.
Yes. Okay.
Lady Choi Sook Ja...
I know. I heard.
What I was worried about finally happened.
What do we do?
We don't have the means to pay them all right now.
What do you mean, honey?
Why would Lady Choi do that?
I don't know either.
You always handled money matters...
involving her.
So... How much do we need and by when?
We need 40 million dollars by the day after tomorrow.
If we can't pay these off,
Lora Shoes, Lora Mattress...
Lora is done for.
Madam. Ms. Min Hee Kyung from Lora is here to see you.
Madam?
Don't let her in. I'm tired.
Sorry, but I think she's going to sleep.
Lady Choi. Please help me.
Please, I'm begging you.
Lora will go under if you don't.
I'll die.
Stop it.
Please leave.
Lady Choi.
When Hye Bin's wedding was called off, you promised...
you would remain professional.
So why are you doing this?
I said to leave.
Lady Choi.
You may go, Ms. Ma.
This isn't right. You can't do this.
I know you hate me, but you promised not to withdraw the money for now.
This is wrong.
Leave, Ms. Min.
- Ma'am. - It's my money.
Why are you barging in here and causing a scene?
I've been very generous with you.
Enough is enough.
How long do you expect me to go easy on you?
Just give us a little more time.
We're not trying to cheat you.
Once the company situation improves...
Ms. Min.
I believe...
you're no longer Lora Shoes' CEO. Am I right?
Yes, but...
I'll get it back.
I'm Lora's CEO. No matter what anyone says.
So please trust me and...
What use is a kite...
whose string was cut?
If you really want to ask me,
bring Chairman Kwon Hyuk Sang.
Tell Chairman Kwon...
to get on his knees before me right now.
(Chairman Kwon Hyuk Sang)
Chairman Kim.
Help me out just this once.
We've been helping each other out all these years.
You scumbag! You rotten louse!
Hi, Mr. Jung.
This is Kwon Hyuk Sang from Lora.
(Chairman Kwon Hyuk Sang)
Honey?
There's no one.
Absolutely no one.
They won't even take my calls.
I just met with Lady Choi.
I begged her for mercy...
What did she say? Will she help us?
Will she postpone collecting on the promissory notes?
She wants you to go over. Alone.
It's been a while, Chairman Kwon.
Please help us.
Please help us, ma'am.
I appreciate...
how much you've helped us all this time.
However, if you would help us just one more time,
I'll be grateful for life...
Kim Jung Guk.
Kim Jung Guk, whom you ran over and killed...
and left for dead...
was my long-lost son.
Ma'am. You must be mistaken...
You got blood all over your dirty hands, and what?
I'm mistaken?
You're a monster.
How could a human being...
do something even a lowly beast wouldn't do?
Even if you were overflowing with desire...
Even if you were overflowing with greed,
if you killed a man and fled,
you should've at least felt bad.
How could you try to kill Gemma too? How dare you?
Can you still...
ask me for help?
I'm sorry.
As you say,
I've done a horrible thing.
But please, save Lora.
Please help us. I'm begging you.
Is that stupid Lora more important than a person's life?
Ma'am.
Fine. Then turn yourself in.
Step down as chairman of Lora...
and tell the police...
everything that you've done.
Then I'll make sure to save Lora.
(Chairman Kwon Hyuk Sang)
You should pay for your sins.
Nothing in life is free.
Everything comes with retribution.
What goes around comes around. That's life, isn't it?
(Wife)
How did it go?
What did Lady Choi say?
It worked out.
Really?
But why did she want you...
to go see her alone?
Let's talk later. I'm busy right now.
(Resignation)
Come in.
Sir. The car's out front.
Thanks.
Thanks for everything.
Why are you leaving so suddenly?
Don't tell anyone for the time being.
And send these with Mr. Song to my house later.
Yes, sir.
(CEO Kwon Ju Hyung)
Hello, Father.
Do you see that small gray building?
I don't know if you remember,
but...
that was our first shoe company, Berthe.
After I inherited that company when your grandfather passed away,
I gave it my absolute all...
in order to get out of that tiny, worn out building...
and take over the highest floor of this building.
How did it feel once you became the owner?
I thought I had become the owner,
but I was wrong.
I worried again and again.
I even put in the money that should go to you,
but it wasn't the end.
Greed breeds more greed.
I just wrote my letter of resignation.
I've instructed Mr. Song,
so the paperwork should be produced without a hitch.
With the slush fund that Hee Kyung created...
and all the things I've done,
it'll be difficult for the time being.
But you're talented,
so you'll do well.
Father.
Life is sickening.
You die anyway,
but it requires endless effort and suffering while you're alive.
I want to rest now.
It's been too tiring.
Who brought me here?
Chairman Kwon.
No.
No!
He was definitely trying to kill me.
So why?
Hello.
You're okay, right?
Yes.
It could've been very dangerous because no one at the hospital...
had your blood type.
It's such a relief that your father has your blood type.
My father?
The person who you brought you here.
He's your father, isn't he?
Both of you have O negative blood.
Stay away from me.
Gemma.
What are you doing here?
I came to tell Gemma something.
I'd appreciate it...
if you'd give us some privacy.
You've tortured her enough.
What more do you have to say?
Ki Seok.
Give us a few minutes.
No. I'm staying put.
Please.
If you try anything again,
I'm calling the police.
What is it?
I'm sorry.
You're apologizing?
Now? After trying to kill me?
You don't deserve to be forgiven.
If you want to beg for forgiveness,
go beg my late father.
Go beg my late mom.
Okay.
I'll turn myself in.
That was what you said at the columbarium too.
That you'd turn yourself in.
But what did you do instead?
You hired a trucker to kill me and ended up killing my mom.
I won't fall for it anymore.
You're a demon.
Please leave.
Get out!
Are you okay?
Please leave.
It's over now.
I'm...
stepping down as Lora's chairman today.
What do you mean?
Is it Ju Hyung's doing?
No.
I made this choice myself.
Since Lora isn't mine anyway.
Why not?
We built it for all those years...
and made it what it is today.
You and I.
We built it.
Lora was originally Berthe.
It belonged to Ju Hyung's grandfather.
I know that. But...
What has gotten into you?
What is it?
Why are you doing this? You're scaring me.
Don't worry.
Don't be afraid.
I will protect you until the bitter end.
Once...
I turn myself in...
What?
What's wrong with you?
No.
Not yet.
What did you do wrong?
Hee Kyung.
No.
No!
