(Episode 101)
Seo Hee Jae.
How dare you deceive me?
I won't let this go.
I will kill you, Hee Jae.
(VK Media Culture Valley Blueprint)
I can't let the prosecution get the corruption ledger.
If that goes public,
everything will be over.
(Prosecution Service)
Oh, right.
(Prosecution Service)
Welcome. Take a seat.
Jang Gi Yun was lying about his daughter having leukemia.
Goodness. Gi Yun's dirtiness has really no end,
even using his daughter.
Here's his corruption ledger.
This is the time bomb that will destroy Jang Gi Yun.
I will leave the rest to you.
Sorry?
Oh, I will simply proceed with your plan.
Mom. What do you mean Soo A is missing?
While Jaclyn made a fuss about wanting to see Soo A,
Hee Jae took Soo A with her.
Seo Hee Jae took Soo A?
She knew I planned to use Soo A...
and used that against me...
by pretending to give me the ledger.
To think I was fooled by that idiot Seo Hee Jae.
Gi Yun. What do you mean you used Soo A?
Was her sickness a lie?
Yes. I had my reason.
Even so, how could you lie about...
Soo A being sick?
I thought it was real. It made my heart sink.
That isn't the problem right now!
Seo Hee Jae will send the ledger to the prosecution.
When that happens,
everything I have built until now will go down the drain.
No. That can't happen.
Yes, Prosecutor Yoo?
All right. Let's meet right away.
I'll get in touch, Mom.
Darn it.
Yes?
Welcome.
Seo Hee Jae and Jung Woo Hyuk came to me with your ledger.
- And? - I have...
the ledger in my hands.
You can take this back.
Gosh, really.
What a great relief.
To think you got it just in time.
I was extremely lucky to meet you.
It is like I have gained a great supporter.
I could say the same.
We should become great supporters of each other.
Of course.
The Media Valley's groundbreaking ceremony is in three days, right?
Thanks to you, we can hold the ceremony.
But Woo Hyuk and Hee Jae are still running wild.
It bothers me.
Find a way...
to get rid of those two.
All right, I will.
Please make haste.
Woo Hyuk and Hee Jae...
must disappear before the ceremony.
Of course. Don't worry about a thing.
Just get ready to be showered with money...
after the formal agreement.
I'll take care of the rest.
Soo A. You will stay with me...
at Mr. Woo Hyuk's place.
- You're fine with that, right? - Yes.
I'm okay with anywhere as long as I can live with you, Mommy.
Soo A.
I'm telling you this in advance...
so you don't get shocked.
When we go to Mr. Woo Hyuk's place,
Grandpa will be there.
Is Grandpa alive?
Did Grandpa come back alive after passing away...
like you, Mommy?
Well, something like that.
I want to see Grandpa.
Let's go see him quickly, Mommy.
Be careful. There you go.
Soo A's here.
Soo A!
Grandpa! I missed you!
My Soo A.
I missed you, too, Soo A.
I can't believe I'm able to see you again.
Grandpa. Mommy and I are going to live here.
Go ahead.
If that's what you want, go ahead.
- Grandpa. - Yes?
Daddy...
is trying to harm Mommy.
What?
He was the one who made Mommy...
leave last time.
Daddy hates Mommy.
He's trying to harm her.
Please stop Daddy, Grandpa.
This is bad.
Even you found out about it.
What should we do?
Soo A.
That's enough.
Mommy's fine.
Should we go to our room and take a rest together?
I feel bad for the little girl.
She must've been shocked and scared when she found out that her dad...
was a wicked man who tried to kill her mom.
Jang Gi Yun lied that Soo A had leukemia.
He demanded the ledger if we wanted to save Soo A.
Only then was he going to give his bone marrow to Soo A.
What was that?
That jerk is unforgivable.
He lied about Soo A having leukemia...
just to get his hands on the ledger?
How dare he use his own child?
That punk. How could he go that far?
A man who abandons his child for money...
is no human being.
How will he atone for all his sins?
He even used Soo A.
That is unforgivable.
You tried so hard to cover up for Gi Yun.
But your granddaughter's tears must've made you wake up.
Chang Sung. For Soo A's sake,
do something about Gi Yun. Okay?
Do you think Hee Jae gave the ledger to the prosecution?
She went on about doing it in a livestream.
So, she must've.
But why is there no breaking news?
Chairman Jang hasn't returned after storming out in rage.
Maybe he has already been arrested and is being questioned.
My anxiety is keeping me from working.
- Wait. - Oh, no.
Both my company and I are fine.
Don't worry, and get to work.
- Understood. - Understood.
There's no such thing as a corruption ledger.
Many groups are trying to slander me three days before the ceremony.
But none of them are true. Don't get swayed by them.
- Yes. - Yes.
Reporters as well as local and international guests...
will attend all events,
including the formal agreement before the ceremony.
Pay special attention to the preparations.
- Yes, sir. - Yes, sir.
- Director Cho. - Yes, Mr. Chairman?
Let every actor...
of WJ Entertainment, including Yoon Ji Tae, come...
and turn the event into a historic and exclusive one.
Yes, and how would you like the actors to be dressed?
Make them look glamorous as if they're at the Academy Awards.
I plan to stream...
the signing of the formal agreement online.
- Yes, sir. - Yes, I understand.
Goodbye, sir.
This means the entire world will see me on that day.
Yes, after the formal agreement,
people will invest billions of dollars in our agency.
Once that happens, maybe we'll get a raise too!
- Right? - Not just a raise!
He may give us some shares too!
- Way to go, Jang Gi Yun! - Way to go!
You're here, Mom.
Yes, I was worried.
I could tell by your face that everything was figured out.
Yes, everything is fine.
What a relief.
I was really anxious...
thinking something might have gone wrong.
Hee Jae can't do that much damage.
I have her in the palm of my hand.
Yes, of course.
Hee Jae has nothing on you.
My son, whom did you take after and grew up into such a wonderful man?
I admire you so much.
Goodness, Mom.
Everything has been resolved. Let's go get Soo A.
Do you know where she is?
Yes.
This is yours, Soo A.
And yours.
The three of you are like family. It's such a lovely sight.
And look at how Soo A spends the whole day smiling.
Who is it?
It's me, Jaclyn.
Right.
Hey, Jaclyn. What brings you here?
I got lots of delicious food just for Soo A.
Father, have you been well?
Yes, I've been well. Come on in.
- You're here. - Hey.
Good for you, Soo A.
Your mommy made so many delicious dishes for you.
Yes, it's wonderful.
Soo A, you look so happy with your mommy. Come here.
That tickles!
Mommy, Ms. Jaclyn is tickling me.
Stop it!
Then, it's my turn!
Come on, Mommy!
Are we expecting anyone else?
Who is it?
We're the police.
Why are the police here?
Father, you said you'd disappear for my sake,
but you were at Woo Hyuk's place.
Right, you must have put her up for this.
Once the groundbreaking ceremony for the Media Valley ended,
I'd have much more power as the chairman.
You wanted to drag me down from my office before then,
so you must've told Hee Jae...
to hand over the ledger to the prosecution.
Once you found out Hee Jae was Ju Kyung,
you must've wanted to give the office back to her.
Yes, you punk.
You were ruining the agency with your wrongdoings,
so I wanted to leave Hee Jae in charge.
Stop dreaming.
You can't take the agency from me...
no matter what you or Hee Jae do.
WJ Entertainment is mine.
Have you lost your mind completely?
Do you know how big the agency has become thanks to him?
You have no idea.
You even made up a lie and said Soo A had leukemia!
How can you do that as a human?
How do you call yourself her father?
Yes, I am her father, so I'm here to take her.
Jang Soo A, let's go home.
I don't want to!
You can't have Soo A, Gi Yun.
Go home.
Who do you think you are?
Did you forget? You mean nothing to her.
You're only a criminal who broke your restraining order.
Take your hand off her!
Gi Yun, I won't let you take her.
All of you good-for-nothings with Hee Jae, stay out of this.
Are you all right, Soo A?
Have you lost your mind, Gi Yun?
You're torturing Soo A!
She's my daughter, so mind your own business!
Are you all right?
Gi Yun, you scumbag.
What are you doing?
Will you stand there and watch them, who broke the retraining order...
and kidnapped my daughter?
Calm down, everyone.
Jang Soo A must live with her dad, who has legal parental rights...
and custody over her.
You all heard him.
Will you people live by the law?
You need to stop!
If you take her, I'll expose all of your wrongdoings.
You didn't forget everything you did to me, did you?
Gi Yun...
Gi Yun!
Do not let me forsake you for good.
Put Soo A down right now!
You punk! You just heard your father.
Put Soo A down!
Good grief, all of you!
Go home while I'm still nice to you.
Dad.
If you continue to do this,
I will sever our relations as a father and a son.
Our father-son relationship ended...
the moment you abandoned me.
You are no longer my son!
Let's go, Mom.
You will regret...
doing this to Gi Yun!
You'll just leave?
Soo A, are you okay?
Are you okay, Soo A?
Goodness, that jerk.
He saw how troubled Soo A was,
yet he insisted on taking her and made this scene!
My goodness.
Goodness.
Gosh.
It felt like I just went to get a facial.
How do I look?
Na Hee, was this the secret to your flawless skin?
Gosh, I'm an actress. This is the least I can do.
Anyway, are you going somewhere special?
You put in so much work to look extra nice today.
"Somewhere special?"
No, I'm just going out for a walk to get some air.
You aren't dressed for a stroll.
May I borrow this?
Sure.
I'll put this on and get prettier.
All right.
(Jung Capital)
What if he thought I was weird after seeing his name...
saved as The Man I Want to Marry?
Who cares?
We're meant to be.
Are you here to see me?
Not at all. I was just passing by.
All right. Goodbye.
- Goodness. - My gosh.
Which way are you going?
This way.
Okay, then.
Soo Ho, we're meant to be.
Why don't you know I have feelings for you?
Gosh, my heart is racing.
Why am I so concerned about her?
Mom, we aren't as well off...
now that Dad is in prison.
Why do you continue to give out lunch boxes as charity?
Elders who live alone often skip meals...
as they don't have decent side dishes.
I better keep doing it.
I can't quit simply because we're in the rough.
Once you start volunteering,
you mustn't change your mind.
Keep doing it, even if you're no longer well off.
Got it. I'll give you a hand, Mom.
Good grief. How infuriating.
We even took the police with us!
But we failed to bring Soo A.
I had no idea your dad would act like that.
If he cared about you, he should've helped you until the end.
But how could he do that?
In the end, Dad is on Hee Jae's side.
And Hee Jae is running wild with Dad's support.
Gi Yun. When your dad asked...
if you had forgotten about what you had done,
what was he talking about?
I don't know. Dad blackmailing me...
isn't anything new.
The groundbreaking ceremony is in three days.
When can we find some peace?
Really, I'm terribly worried.
Don't worry.
Everything will proceed according to my plan.
Only an economic offense can be charged...
with Gi Yun's corruption evidence.
He won't receive much of a sentence.
A definitive criminal charge...
like instigating murder is needed.
That was why Mr. Tak...
prepared a press conference to testify to Gi Yun's order to kill.
But because he disappeared, our plan fell through.
Listen. I heard that your sister Eun Ha...
took her life because of...
the politicians' wine-and-dine Gi Yun held.
And rumor has it that there is a video on it.
By any chance, have you seen it?
No.
Seung Pil told me Eun Ha took the video entertaining politicians...
and sent it to his phone.
But Gi Yun took that very phone from him.
If we had that video,
Na Hee's testimony against entertaining politicians...
could become effective.
What a shame.
If Mr. Yang, who got caught on camera, testifies,
Gi Yun can't claim it is Deepfake.
With that video,
Gi Yun's hidden sins will rise to the surface.
And Eun Ha's wrongful death caused by Gi Yun...
will be uncovered, right?
Father knows everything about Jang Gi Yun.
I'll ask if he knows anything about the video.
(A better tomorrow, correction with hope)
I heard there was a video of Choi Eun Ha...
entertaining politicians.
I confirmed it with Gi Yun himself.
Gi Yun denied it furiously. But I'm sure the video exists.
Gi Yun has that video.
But he has no reason to have it.
He must've been caught in that politicians' wine-and-dine video.
Because the politicians, including myself,
were caught in that video,
he kept it to blackmail those politicians.
Gi Yun must've stored it in his safe.
Mr. Tak only gave us the corruption ledger he took...
from the safe.
Then where did Seung Pil's phone...
with the video on it go?
We need to find that.
(Dreaming of becoming the world's largest media kingdom,)
(VK Media Culture Valley)
(Incoming Call)
Hello?
Chairman Jang, it's Sung Gu.
Na Seung Pil's phone...
with Choi Eun Ha entertaining politicians.
I have it.
Darn it.
I'll give you one last chance to show me a favor.
Sung Gu.
I am always ready to show you kindness.
In return for the phone, give me a passport, money,
and a flight ticket to flee abroad.
Right.
You went through a lot working for me.
So my wish is for you to live a peaceful life abroad.
I will trust you one last time, Chairman Jang.
Don't think about pulling a trick.
Of course not.
Trust me, Sung Gu.
Trust my sincerity.
Tak Sung Gu! Arrest him at once!
Let go! Let go of me!
Jang Gi Yun!
I shouldn't have trusted you...
Great work, Prosecutor Yoo.
Don't mention it.
I'm here to give you help...
whenever you're in trouble, Chairman Jang.
When the contract is signed before the ceremony three days later,
I will give you an unforgettable reward.
"An unforgettable reward?"
Gosh, I'm getting excited.
Soo A. Do you have something to tell me?
Mister.
You know how Daddy is trying to harm Mommy?
So here's the thing.
Please protect my mom.
You can do that, right?
Yes. I'll protect your mommy.
Promise me.
It's a promise.
(Jung Capital)
What kind of interesting conversation did you two have?
It's a secret.
"A secret?"
You're keeping something from me?
Then I'll finish this...
all by myself.
- Oh, Mommy. - Yes?
Remember Grandpa's hearing aid he wanted me to give you?
I'll give it to you.
(To Mommy whom I miss, From Soo A)
Here you go.
Grandpa told me...
to give it to you and no one else.
Thanks, Soo A.
(Camera 1, Temperature 27°C)
Jang Gi Yun did that to Father?
(The Elegant Empire)
How can you defend Gi Yun despite what he has done?
I will post this on the Internet at once.
As expected, Gi Yun is buying time by claiming the video is deepfaked.
A press conference?
I will speak the truth myself.
Gi Yun won't be able to slip out.
Mother, I need you to come with me.
There's something I must do.
