(Episode 96)
Did your mother say...
she went out with Woo Jin for work?
Work, my foot.
Those two must be... Darn it.
Dad, you're drunk.
You need to stop drinking.
I'm back.
That must be Woo Jin.
Where have you been?
Let me escort her to her room first.
What's going on? Where's Jeong In?
- Hey. - Dad.
- Let go of me. - Gosh.
Hey.
Dad!
Hey, where have you two been?
Mr. Chairman.
You two must be having fun with each other...
by using your work as an excuse!
Mr. Chairman, it wasn't like that.
Silence!
You punk.
I'll kill you if you keep acting cheeky.
Dad, what's with you?
Let go of me!
You punk. Move aside!
Hey!
You.
- Darn it. - What's this?
- Mr. Chairman! - Dad!
- Let go of me! - My gosh!
And you.
Get out of my house, you disgusting punk!
You heard me!
Get out of my house!
Woo Jin!
Dad, what is wrong with you?
Have you lost your mind?
Hey, Jeong In.
Get up, Jeong In!
Dad, you need to stop!
You can talk to Mom after you sober up, Dad.
Get up!
You need to get up now!
Hey, Kyung Sook!
- Hey! - What is this?
- Darn it! - Hey!
Woo Jin.
What on earth do you expect me to do?
Ms. Moon holds me back and says I cannot leave.
But the chairman gets mad at me and demands that I leave.
That's because my mom is very much in love with you.
What?
She's trying not to lose you until the end. It's obvious.
How do you feel?
Do you like my mom, too? Do you love her?
Ju Ryun.
No matter how you deny it, I keep getting suspicious.
It's not just Dad anymore. I'm starting to wonder, too.
Should I call this reasonable doubt?
Whatever. Take it however you like.
What do you mean by that?
I mean, your question is not worthy of answering.
Stop changing the subject and give me a straight answer.
No! I don't like her!
Are you happy now?
Do you mean that?
Yes, I do.
I honestly just pity her as a fellow human.
That's all?
Yes, and that's my answer.
So, please leave.
I have a shoot tomorrow, so I have to read my script.
Woo Jin, your shoot will probably get postponed.
"Postponed?"
Mr. Na's mother and Ms. Park came to see my dad.
They said he went missing.
What?
Yes, come in.
Hey, come on in.
I've been waiting for you.
So? Do you have the paperwork ready?
Gosh, hey.
Let Hyun Woo go now.
Can you be a little more polite, Sun Ae?
Don't worry. He's well.
I went over there in the morning.
He was sound asleep despite the cold weather.
Send him to me now.
If you do not keep your promise,
you leave me no choice but to mobilize my staff.
Your staff?
You probably know I have enough people to use,
thanks to my money.
My gosh, how scary.
All right. That's all for now.
And right, what about Jeongin Entertainment?
She and I may always fight, but we're still a married couple.
You need to go easy on her, too. Don't you think so, Sun Ae?
Let's see.
Hey, you got these notarized.
Good.
Okay.
(CEO Moon Jeong In)
Come in.
Ms. Lee.
I came to postpone your repayment date...
to two years from today.
Wait, all of a sudden? What are you talking about?
Hyun Woo was taken hostage to blackmail me.
What else could I do?
I must give way when it's necessary.
Wait, what did you say? "Taken hostage?"
Yes, he was taken hostage.
Wait, what's she talking about?
Director Na was taken hostage...
It's me, honey.
Did Sun Ae stop by to give you the paperwork?
What's going on?
You won't have to worry about paying her back for a while.
I postponed the date...
to two years from today without any interest.
So? What do you think about this?
Really?
Anyway, that's that.
What was she saying about how Director Na was taken hostage?
The drama production is about to end soon.
You didn't do anything weird to put me in trouble, did you?
Why wouldn't you show gratitude even after I helped you?
Everything would get resolved within the day anyway. Bye.
Hello? It's me.
Why are you suddenly calling, Woo Jin?
I heard the shoot could be postponed today,
but I haven't heard anything.
"The shoot could be postponed?"
What? I don't think so.
Who said that?
I'm at the coffee shop here. Do you have a minute?
(CEO Lee Sun Ae)
Yes?
Hello, Ms. Park.
Ms. Lee, have you heard anything from Mr. Na?
Not yet.
But this morning,
I gave Min Tae Chang what he wanted...
so he would send him back.
He wouldn't cause harm to the drama...
if he thought of Jeongin Entertainment.
Do you think he'll keep his promise?
You already know what he's like.
He cannot be trusted.
He's crueler than anyone.
Where did he put Hyun Woo?
(Eldest Son)
Hello? Is that you, Hyun Woo?
Where are you? Hyun Woo.
Tell me, Hyun Woo.
Ms. Lee, was that Mr. Na?
Yes.
It's me, Tae Chang.
Where is Hyun Woo right now? Tell me.
Hey, why are you so impatient?
He'll come home as soon as he wakes up.
I have to go get him.
Hey! Tae Chang!
Ms. Lee, I thought of a place where he might be.
You thought of a place?
Yes.
What? Are you saying no one knows...
where Director Na is right now?
And he's completely out of reach?
That's right. Ju Ryun said...
his mother and Ms. Park came to her place yesterday...
because Mr. Na went missing.
This is...
I'm also frustrated and worried.
We have a shoot tonight.
I don't know anything about this situation, so...
I have a feeling...
Chairman Min Tae Chang is behind this.
"Chairman Min Tae Chang?"
One moment, please.
Sure.
Yes, Ms. Park.
What? That place?
Yes, I'll be there. Okay.
Mr. Jung, I have to go now.
Was that Ms. Park?
I'll go with you.
No, you don't need to do that. You need to get ready for the shoot.
No, it must concern Director Na.
I'm going with you.
Mr. Na!
Hyun Woo!
My son...
Hyun Woo.
Mr. Na, wake up.
Mr. Na.
You were right.
You said he'd be here.
We should look and see if he has any injuries.
All right.
I don't think he is hurt anywhere. Why won't he wake up?
Hyun Woo, wake up.
What do you think this is?
Let me see that.
- It's a syringe. - Yes.
- "A syringe?" - Yes.
Aunt, why don't we order something delicious to eat?
Are you craving anything?
- Aunt? - Yes?
What did you just say?
Honey, I'm here.
- Hey, come on in. - Hey.
Aunt, I got some chicken soup.
It was made with ginseng and all kinds of herbs,
so I heard this tasted amazing.
You don't have an appetite, right? Try some.
No, move it aside.
Why? I got this just for you.
What's wrong, Aunt?
I'll never eat chicken soup again.
Poor Clark.
He enjoyed the chicken soup I made so much.
Aunt...
- Goodness. - Gosh.
- Hello. - Hello.
I'd like to buy something as a present.
Anyway, what smells so delicious?
I'm sorry, sir.
It was lunchtime, so I got some for my aunt.
I see.
Ms. Nanda!
You said you ran a store somewhere nearby,
and it was here!
Are you her nephew?
What? Yes.
I heard her nephew and niece-in-law were very nice to her.
It was just as I expected.
Why do you care if they're good to me or not?
Do your business and leave.
Ms. Nanda!
Goodness.
Honey, what did I just witness?
"Ms. Nanda?"
I don't know. "Ms. Nanda?"
Thank you for helping out Hyun Woo.
Ms. Lee, shouldn't he see a doctor?
He should.
Anyway, what about the shoot?
You don't have to worry.
Assistant Director Na will handle whatever that's urgent.
And I postponed Woo Jin's scenes.
I see.
- Mom, where's Hyun Woo? - In his room.
Right. Hello.
- Hyun Woo! - He's asleep right now.
I'm starting to dread this company.
Both its people and the business.
I should've quit ages ago.
Anyway.
When are you marrying Ju Ryun?
Are you actually going to marry her?
What are you trying to say?
People say two things you can't hide are...
love and a sneeze.
So, just as you can't hide your love for Ju Ryun,
I also can't hide my love for Ms. Park.
Is that what you're saying?
Ju Ryun is sincerely in love with you.
But I'm asking you...
because you only seem to feel her out like a coward.
That doesn't sound too pleasant to my ears.
Just be honest.
Do you want to marry Ju Ryun or not?
Mr. Kim. Why don't you elope with Ju Ryun?
"Elope?"
The feeling Ju Ryun has for me probably isn't love.
It's only obsession and pride.
The desire to possess me...
because she doesn't want a certain someone to have me.
She may love you more as a man, Mr. Kim.
She just doesn't know yet because she's confused...
and can't figure out if it's friendship or love.
Right.
What about the syringe?
I had forgotten.
We should probably run a check on it.
- May I have it? - All right.
Here.
Hyun Woo, are you okay?
Yes, Mother.
Hyun Woo, are you up?
Are you okay?
Yes, but I feel a bit dizzy.
How long was I out for?
We have no idea. You were asleep the whole time.
Does anything hurt?
Well, this part of my head hurt, so I touched it...
and found a bump.
I think I sort of remember getting hit by someone.
It was Chairman Min Tae Chang.
"Chairman Min Tae Chang?"
Why won't you let me report him to the police?
He did something similar to you last time.
Hello?
Yes, Mr. Sato.
Why are you here?
You ran a background check on Mr. Sato,
so I thought you took notice,
but I guess you didn't know yet.
I'm Mr. Sato's agent.
You're his agent?
What are you talking about?
Do you still not understand the situation?
Don't you get Mr. Sato's relationship with me?
You two were in this together...
to take my business?
Wait, so this was a fraud from the beginning?
You were the fraud, not me.
You said you signed with the writer and the director...
when you actually didn't...
so you could sell your business at a higher price than it was worth.
Make your choice.
You can either give up the compensation quietly...
or end up getting everything seized.
On top of that,
you must kneel before me and apologize.
If you don't, I'll let the media have...
the contract and the receipt for Jung Woo Jin's escort gig.
No.
Anything but that.
What happened to Mr. Na...
had nothing to do with me!
Be quiet. Just get the compensation ready.
I'll lodge a complaint as soon as the wrap party is over.
Right. You must know...
this is a different matter from the money you owe me, right?
Tae Chang asked me for a favor, so I postponed the due date.
You should be grateful.
Ms. Lee.
Ms. Lee!
(Chairman Min Tae Chang)
Yes, come in.
Mr. Nam!
Hey, get out of here.
Wait. Please don't hit me.
I don't want to waste my anger...
on a man like you.
Hey. Get up.
Goodness. Yes, Mr. Chairman.
You let a punk like that beat you up?
Well, last time, you couldn't get up after he hit you,
so I thought he'd be a pretty good fighter.
- You punk. - Goodness.
Hey, so what happened with that?
Sorry? "That?"
The disposable syringe with the drug.
Right, that thing.
Well, Mr. Chairman. Here's the situation.
The buyer will come and contact me first.
And then I make another call...
Hello? Hey, you can talk now.
Seok Ki, about the syringe you gave me...
Yes, do you have the result?
Where did you get it?
It's a kind of sedative.
But it's illegal, so you'll get in trouble if you are caught.
It's a dangerous drug.
What? What kind of drug is this?
This kind has been smuggled in more often lately.
It's highly addictive, so you get charged even for possession.
Anyway, where did you get this dangerous drug?
(CEO Moon Jeong In)
What's this?
Why is Mind Trading Company's file here?
(Mind Trading Company)
(Jung Woo Jin Escort Gig Contract, Receipt, IOU)
(Repayment Date: November 29th, 2024)
(Loan Agreement, Min Tae Chang, Lee Sun Ae)
(Loan Amount: 13 million dollars)
"Loan Agreement?"
"Thirteen million dollars?"
If I don't pay Lee Sun Ae back, I'll lose all of my business.
And you said you sold your company for 18 million dollars.
You'll have a lot left after paying the investors back.
You were so hopeful.
Why would I give you that money?
You should just go to Lee Sun Ae and beg her...
to save her ex-husband this once.
What?
No.
He was serious?
Hello, this is Director Kim Seok Ki of Jeongin Entertainment calling.
Yes, I was going to call you soon...
about the syringe last time.
Have you found out what it was?
Well...
("Poker Face")
That's all for today's reading.
Great job, everyone.
- Good work. - Good work.
I'll share the shooting schedule in the group chat.
- Okay. - Okay.
Mr. Na, how do you feel?
I'm all right.
I have to stick next to you and keep an eye on you,
just in case someone kidnaps you again.
It doesn't feel too bad to have a woman protect me.
Let's go. Let's eat something delicious.
That sounds great.
Seung Woo.
I'm leaving.
Do whatever you want, Director Na.
I should go, too.
So, Woo Jin, are you not leaving?
You should go.
Okay, then.
Where's Grandaunt, Mom?
She said she had to meet someone.
Right, honey. Was that old gentleman...
really my aunt's acquaintance?
Yes, he was the only guy in the line dancing class...
at the community center.
The only man there.
Hey, Ji Yeon. By any chance,
have you ever seen her get phone calls?
Then, was he the guy who called her every night?
Stop! Wait.
That gentleman...
calls my aunt every night?
I didn't know who it was, but she got calls pretty often.
This is great news, honey.
She had been so depressed after Mr. Kwon passed away.
It'd be nice to have a boyfriend like that gentleman.
You're right. That's so true.
I should find a boyfriend...
if I become depressed after I get older, Ji Yeon.
What? You want to find a boyfriend?
Wait, woman.
Then, what if I got depressed?
Can I find a girlfriend, too?
No, you can't do that.
Don't you dare find a girlfriend.
- I won't let you live. - What?
Why are things so unfair between you and me?
My gosh. Cut it out.
Why do you two still bicker...
with each other like a teenage couple?
What did we do?
What's so bad about that?
You're an embarrassment.
It's not an embarrassment.
It's better than impairment.
Isn't that so, honey?
You're such a funny guy.
(CEO Lee Sun Ae)
It was a new type of drug, highly dangerous and addictive.
When you take it the first time, it helps you sleep well.
But it's impossible to go off it...
once you're addicted after repetitive use.
It's also highly toxic.
How dare he use...
such a dirty and disgusting drug on my son?
Fine.
I'll give you a taste of it, too.
Excuse me. One more bottle, please.
You should probably stop. You're quite drunk.
I'll pay however much you want.
Now.
You already seem rather drunk.
Nothing is going my way. Nothing.
Ms. Moon. It's me, Woo Jin.
- Goodness. - Woo Jin.
Hey, aren't you supposed to be the director?
Why weren't you looking after our actor?
You said you would.
Woo Jin, wake up. Let's go to your room.
Okay.
- Woo Jin, be careful. - Let's go.
- Where's the chairman? - He's not back yet.
It's pretty late.
Why did he drink so much?
My gosh. Mom.
It feels hot after you drink.
Why did he drink so much?
Was he with you?
Mom.
Lower your voice. You'll wake him.
Why do you treat him like this?
Ju Ryun, you need to give up on him.
What? "Give up?"
Why should I do that?
Woo Jin can't make you happy.
Why not?
Because he can only make you happy?
Do you want to steal him and make him yours that badly?
Is that really the case?
Hey, Ju Ryun.
(Snow White's Revenge)
Nothing serious happened, right?
It did, actually.
It was way too serious, so we couldn't even handle it.
- Hello? - Is this CEO Moon Jeong In?
Yes, that's me.
Come and take Chairman Min Tae Chang.
I'll text you the address.
What now?
Ms. Moon.
You were the most evil one who even took my soul.
The most evil person I shouldn't have met!
