(Episode 114)
Mom!
Mom.
It's Eui Ju.
Eui Ju is here, Mom. Look.
Mom.
Eui Ju.
It's okay.
I was scared to death.
I was so scared.
It's okay now. You're with Eui Ju.
Mom. Where is that punk?
I knocked him out.
With a headbutt.
What?
I'm sorry, Eui Ju.
I should've gotten away instead of fighting him.
No, you did good, Mom.
Is your head okay?
I must have a rock for a head.
Darn you!
Shut your hairy mouth unless you want another beating.
You're just a joke.
Hey. Untie me.
Cut me loose!
- Mom. - What?
Take this.
Listen to this for a while...
and look the other way.
What?
There.
Hey.
You.
You have a board meeting to get to.
Don't you want to be chairman?
The police are on the way.
I was going to let them take you as is, but I can't now.
You're bluffing.
Don't you know who I am? I'm Jang Myung Chul.
I won't waste brain cells headbutting you.
I'll...
- punch you instead. - What?
Eui Ju. Where are you?
What reporter?
The police station?
Shall we begin the board meeting?
Let's not waste time when you're all busy.
Director Yeo selected today's agenda.
- Why is he absent? - I wonder too.
Let's start without him.
As you all know,
there are concerns and doubts...
that Chairwoman Min's ill health is affecting her ability to run Masung.
Ms. Myung?
Okay.
I hope this document will provide an answer.
It's an expert's written opinion that there's no problem with my health.
As you know, as we get older,
we have our ups and downs regarding our health.
I have an issue with people who take a small matter...
and turn it into a huge one as if...
it will cause a crisis within the company.
Take a small matter and turn it into a huge one?
What if I were to say this was faked?
The result of the checkup I took you to get was pretty serious.
Ms. Myung.
Hand these out, please.
What? Yes, sir.
You were fired long ago.
Why did you kidnap Director Yeo's mother?
Is it related to Masung's emergency board meeting?
What are you on about?
You're hurting me.
Darn it.
Hey.
I'd like to talk to Chairwoman Min Kyung Hwa.
Don't ask for her. She's busy.
She is in deep trouble herself.
Why you...
(Comprehensive Physical Checkup)
I took the chairwoman to the hospital recently.
That result is from that visit.
Her physician recommended she see a psychiatrist.
It pains me...
to have to expose my mother's illness,
but I can't ignore the company and its shareholders' profits,
so I made the tough decision.
I'm sorry, Mother.
The document I gave you is dated yesterday.
Do you see which would be more accurate?
Please stop.
You used to be so smart.
What happened to you?
Have you forgotten you signed your power of attorney to me?
Look at this and try to remember.
Here you go.
The glasses are practically useless.
Where do I sign?
Right here.
- Here? - Yes.
Right, I forgot.
She can barely see.
The chairwoman gave me power of attorney to manage her shares.
What are you talking about?
Chairwoman.
It is the chairwoman's signature.
Do you not remember signing this?
No. Well...
I do remember signing it.
It was when my health was at its worst.
But I've fully recovered now.
I can annul that document.
Right? Can't I do that?
Well,
if she insists on taking back her shares, I have no choice.
No, there's nothing more to say.
CEO Joo doesn't have enough of the company to become chairman.
Right.
I don't have enough stake in Masung Group.
So Director Yeo Eui Ju...
entrusted his stake in Masung to me.
What?
I'll explain again, Chairwoman.
My stake in the company as well as Director Yeo Eui Ju's...
all belong to me now. Do you understand?
How dare they think they can dismiss me?
Let's put this to a vote.
We can do that, can't we?
We heard you were a chairman candidate.
Didn't Director Yeo have an advantage?
The uncertainty in succession...
damaged the company's reputation.
Director Yeo and I...
refused to let someone threaten the future...
of the company our grandmother built up.
And so we made a decision.
Of course, the board will vote as to whether...
Chairwoman Min should be dismissed,
but I want to prevent someone...
with an unclear mind from bringing down the company.
I'll arrange an official press conference.
Shall we end this here?
Well,
I guess money and power...
turn a mother-son relationship into nothing.
Are you aware your ex-chief secretary Jang Myung Chul...
has been arrested for kidnapping Director Yeo's mother?
I don't know what you're talking about. Mr. Jang did what?
You really have no idea?
He has been asking to speak with you ever since his arrest.
Was this a ploy to stop Director Yeo from attending...
I have no idea what you're on about.
I fired Jang long ago for embezzling,
and I haven't seen him since.
I was clueless that he'd done something so monstrous.
Ms. Myung, to my office. I have a headache.
- Okay. - Excuse me.
- Please make way. - Wait.
- What's your plan? - Excuse us.
- How's your health? - What will you do now?
- Any comments? - Chairwoman.
(Chairwoman Min Kyung Hwa)
Chairwoman. Would you like some water?
No. You can go.
Are you that reluctant to step down?
Don't go too far.
You don't have much longer, so I'll give you a few days.
You can stay there.
You've grown up, Yong Su Jeong.
Aren't we around the same height?
Did you hear what Jang Myung Chul did?
Wouldn't it be a sight if you were to stand handcuffed next to him?
Why wait? Get it over with now.
You did so many bad things,
I'm trying to choose what to send you away for.
Let's see.
You tried to kill my mother-in-law.
You killed Ha Min's mom.
You put Chairwoman Hwang in her coma.
You kidnapped Kelly Jung.
And...
you caused my father's death.
Do you think that's all I did?
Yes, you're right.
You committed another crime today.
People like you should never be born.
Yes.
So take me out now instead of moping about it later on.
I'm exhausted too.
I'm not as sprightly as I used to be,
and my eyesight goes in and out of focus.
Life...
is weighing me down.
Goodness.
What?
What are you doing?
Why are you trembling?
Do you think I'll hurt someone who's suffering already?
I'm not like you.
Watch your health.
It wouldn't be fun if you got so frail already.
Darn it.
I can't do this much longer.
It's so annoying.
(CEO Joo Woo Jin)
Where are you going?
To the police station.
Eui Ju said...
he'd miss the meeting only to end up there alone.
Who would stop Min Kyung Hwa if you both left the building?
That was why he only said that.
He's helping his mother write a victim statement.
I'll go to the police station. You need to work on Hye Ra.
We don't yet have the flash drive,
and she might act out now that Jang Myung Chul is arrested.
Jang is refusing to make a statement,
so his motive is yet unclear,
but he was detained at the scene, and a warrant will be issued.
Masung Group Chairwoman Min Kyung Hwa...
denied all knowledge of Jang's crime.
She stated she had not seen...
or been in touch with Jang since he was fired.
Hang on. So...
What will happen next?
Wait, Mom.
Min Kyung Hwa is lying.
They practically lived together, and she hasn't seen him at all?
Woo Jin.
Yeo Eui Ju did what?
Why did he give you his shares?
I guess he hated Chairwoman Min more than me.
It looks like...
I'm her new target now.
She wouldn't do anything to hurt you, would she?
I need the USB flash drive fast.
I have to use it to cripple her before she does something.
Okay. I'll do what I can to find it.
I think Chairwoman Min set this up to get rid of Mr. Jang.
So he'd get caught red-handed.
She's so scary.
Hey.
Could we use the camera hidden in this house...
to put the chairwoman away?
She said she has never met Jang since.
That's not enough.
She can say Mr. Jang threatened her.
Hye Ra. If Mr. Jang...
ends up calling you...
Don't worry, Woo Jin.
I don't trust him anymore.
I won't trust anyone but you.
Okay, thanks. Take care.
What are you up to?
Why are you here?
To offer you some help seeing that...
you're being stubborn for no reason.
Jang Myung Chul!
Don't raise your voice.
If you want to save your mom, skip today's board meeting.
Isn't that simple enough?
If you so much as touch a hair on her, you're done for.
What happens to your mom depends on you now.
Do as you're told.
Why would you care...
whether I attended the meeting or not?
Min Kyung Hwa set you up for this, didn't she?
It would do me no good if either of you became chairman.
I had to stop that.
Don't you think?
You're so loyal but to the wrong person.
Jang Myung Chul.
Do you think Min Kyung Hwa will help you if you keep quiet?
How about a bet?
I say Min Kyung Hwa will cut ties with you.
Wait. Has she done so already?
Keep your mouth shut.
I should...
go to the hospital and check on the chairwoman.
You've been through a lot today. Get some rest and go tomorrow.
Are you sure you're okay?
Don't lie about being in pain because you don't want us to worry.
I really am okay.
She knocked Jang out with the self-defense move you taught her.
My mom is really amazing.
I'll go and get some rest.
Yes, Mother.
Yes, Mom. Go and have a nap.
Okay.
Do you know how worried I was?
Sorry. Things happened so suddenly.
You complained that Woo Jin sent you bodyguards.
You should've taken them with you.
Why did you go off alone?
What if you had another headache?
I came back just fine. Isn't that enough?
What?
Oh, that hurts.
What's wrong? Do you have a headache?
Where are your pills?
Your nagging...
is about to make my head split in two.
Yeo Eui Ju.
Darn you.
Darling.
Yes.
I'm on the way back after a successful hunt.
What happens to your mom depends on you now.
Do as you're told.
- Hey. Move your car. - Darn you.
Hey!
- We're not done talking. - Lee Young Ae!
Lee Young Ae!
Darling.
Mom will protect you.
I'll keep you safe, even if I die.
If you want to lock up Min Kyung Hwa too,
you must give the footage to the police.
Why are you taking down the cameras?
It can't be used as evidence.
Woo Jin can use it to threaten Min, so I should give it to him.
Hey. Does that mean I can stop working here?
We need to find the flash drive.
You must stay for a while.
Without Myung Chul...
I might as well take the opportunity...
to steal whatever I think will be of value.
Min Kyung Hwa can barely see.
What do I care if she notices?
Detective. Where's my lawyer?
Why don't you just cooperate?
Chairwoman Min said she'd sue you...
for defamation if you kept mentioning her.
Get a grip.
The incompetent fool. If he was going to get caught,
he should've gotten rid of Young Ae or Eui Ju at least.
Eui Ju. How did you find your mother?
She headbutted Jang and ran away.
That?
(You successfully located Lee Young Ae.)
How smart of you.
Right? I got much smarter since I got ill.
Don't say that.
Are you sure you're okay?
You're not pretending to be fine when you're not, are you?
Not that again.
You said you checked before my second round of chemotherapy.
I think my cancer cells are getting killed off fast.
I wish that were true.
Uncle, Auntie.
Hi, Ha Min.
Woo Jin. What are you doing?
Mother.
I'm so glad nothing bad happened.
If something had happened to you, I'd have really...
I'm fine.
Don't worry, Woo Jin. It's okay.
Dad. Why are you crying?
Ha Min. Your dad is acting like a child today.
Shall we tease him?
No. You can't tease my dad.
Woo Jin. You're not supposed to laugh right after you cry.
Don't laugh, Dad. That's really bad.
Goodness.
- My gosh. - Ma'am!
Ma'am!
Go and see what's wrong. Go.
My poor back.
Oh, gosh.
Oh, dear.
My back hurts.
Did you fall?
Why did you leave something like this here?
It's so darn annoying.
I was cleaning and...
Where's the secretary who was...
always helping you out?
Shall I help you up?
- Will you go to your room? - Hurry up.
- Oh, my gosh. - I hurt my back.
Let's go.
Wait.
Don't ever mention...
my male secretary again, okay?
What?
If someone asks,
say you and I are the only people who live here.
But that's not true.
Why don't you get what I'm saying?
You could get us in trouble.
Okay. I got the point.
I wish I could just hire someone else.
Should I...
trip her up so she falls again?
Will you...
go to your room now?
Let's go. Watch your step.
- Come along. - Oh, my back...
So what? Do you have a plan?
You know better than anyone what I'm thinking.
We can't just kill Yeo Eui Ju or Lee Young Ae.
He's not the Yeo Eui Ju he used to be.
Not to mention people are watching him...
and his fight to become chairman.
What do you say we do, then?
Don't we just have to prevent him from attending the meeting?
I can lure Lee Young Ae...
and make her lose her way.
That will be enough to make him lose control.
You think Eui Ju would miss the meeting because you got his mom lost?
If you're going to act,
you might as well go all the way.
Get rid of them both at once.
What?
Do you fear the aftermath?
When did we ever worry about the aftermath when we did something?
I don't believe this.
What is it?
You don't trust me?
Min Kyung Hwa.
You messed up.
Do you think I'll go down alone?
It's not here.
Should I cause a scene at the police station to force his hand?
What am I going through all this trouble for?
Hey.
Did Woo Jin say he'd get back with you...
only if you got him the flash drive?
Min Kyung Hwa is an utter mess.
Can he shove her out of the way and take over?
Hello?
Yes.
Okay. I'll bring them over.
Why? Who was that?
A detective.
Mr. Jang wants me to bring him his stuff.
Underwear, socks, and his shoes?
Darn it.
Such errands always fall on us.
Why would someone locked in a cell need shoes?
Goodness.
- Mom. - My gosh.
Hey.
Does it make sense to hide something in a shoe?
You wouldn't be able to walk if you had something like that in here.
My gosh.
Why is he still wearing a pair that's falling apart?
Poor Myung Chul can't even afford new shoes?
Give up. I looked over the whole shoe.
What the...
Where's Eui Ju?
He went to get some tea.
He prefers tea to coffee now that he's on chemotherapy.
I see.
Darn it.
Hi, Hye Ra.
Where are you right now?
Are you at work?
Yes.
Why?
I have something to say.
What about?
Did you find the flash drive?
What?
That's the most urgent matter.
Call me when you have it.
Goodness.
I'm not sure if I can trust her and just wait.
Me either.
It was Jang Myung Chul who kidnapped Kelly too.
Working on him might be quicker...
than waiting for Hye Ra.
Joo Woo Jin. Were you using me?
For something like this?
How could you? How could you do this to me?
(The Brave Yong Su Jeong)
How could you push a pregnant woman off a cliff?
You pushed me and stepped on my hand!
It was Min Kyung Hwa's idea.
Min Kyung Hwa told me...
to kidnap your mother!
Uncle, did you break a plate? Were you hurt?
Why? What's wrong? Did my condition worsen?
Who do you think you're left with?
Do you still not get it?
I'm here to protect you.
