Father!
Father.
Dad.
- Father... - Honey!
Father.
Father... You can't leave like this!
Father!
Dad...
Father...
Father!
He's out of the woods.
But why did the chairman make such a decision?
I don't know.
He'll wake up soon.
Please excuse me.
Jang Gi Yun.
Are you happy now?
Are you happy now that Father tried to take his own life...
for your sake?
He did it for my sake?
Father apologized to you.
But because you rejected him, Father gave up on his life.
What nonsense are you spouting?
Seo Hee Jae.
Dad is in this state because of you, not me.
Had you not appeared before us again,
Dad wouldn't have done that.
Until the very end, you're blaming it on me...
and not repenting at all.
Jang Gi Yun.
You ruin the lives of those beside you.
That includes me, Father,
Soo A, Ye Kyung, and even Jaclyn.
You cause everyone's lives to go down.
We'll find peace again if you disappear.
The one...
ruining people's lives isn't me...
but you.
Woo Hyuk.
Director Seo took Chang Sung to Gi Yun's place.
But she hasn't contacted me yet.
Hee Jae took Chairman Jang to Gi Yun's house?
Yes. Chang Sung said...
he had something important to say and had to meet Gi Yun.
I'm scared giving her a call will interrupt them.
But having to wait is making me anxious.
Don't worry. Hee Jae is with him.
You see...
I have sleeping pills I take whenever I can't fall asleep.
But those are missing.
Chang Sung wouldn't have taken them, right?
Hold on. Oh, Director Seo.
Are you still at Gi Yun's place?
What?
Chang Sung?
Gi Yun, you... What did you do to your father?
You ungrateful jerk!
I didn't do anything!
You should treat Chang Sung better.
Think of everything he has done for you!
It's none of your business.
Mr. Hwang. I beg you.
Stop meddling in our family's affairs.
And they call themselves human beings?
Chang Sung. Why did you make such a bad decision?
You did nothing wrong.
So why did you do it?
I never thought your dad...
would apologize to us in his life.
But your dad came to apologize, knowing that he could die.
Your dad...
loved us...
from the bottom of his heart.
But...
it's too late now.
To go back.
You and I both know that.
It's too late to go back.
You're right. I won't go back.
I don't care about Dad's sincerity.
I will continue...
to strive for the top.
I will go to the top nobody can reach.
I will look down on people from there,
gain everything I want,
and enjoy...
whatever I can.
All right.
What you wish for, and what you want...
Make them all yours and enjoy your life.
Father, are you all right?
Chang Sung.
Why...
Why did you save me?
Who saved my life?
I failed to do a good job raising my son. I deserve to die.
Why did you save my life?
You should've just left me to die.
Why didn't you just leave me to die?
Father...
Why should you die?
Gi Yun is the one who should die, not you.
What does he mean to you anyway?
He doesn't even think of you as a dad.
He doesn't care about you at all. Why do you consider him your son?
No.
I should have disappeared from his life.
I should have done that for him.
Gi Yun...
I couldn't even die for you.
What am I going to do now?
Gi Yun...
Hee Jae, Sung Il.
Take me...
to a place where Gi Yun will never find me.
I want to disappear from Gi Yun's life.
That's the last thing...
I can do for him.
How can you disappear in this condition?
I was pronounced dead but turned out to be alive.
GI Yun will never get a break as long as I'm around.
Reporters will continue to harass him.
You're trying to be a father to him until the last moment,
even in this condition,
but Gi Yun, that jerk, won't even understand how you feel.
Hee Jae, I ask of you.
Let me live in hiding...
without appearing before Gi Yun again.
You didn't do anything wrong. Why should you go into hiding?
I am unable to move around alone...
because of my physical condition.
But I can...
still use one hand...
to take my own life.
Do you want me to do that?
All right, fine.
I'll do as you ask.
(Chairman Jang Gi Yun)
I don't want to hear it unless it's about work.
Listen to me even if you don't want to.
Father disappeared.
"Disappeared?"
He can't even walk on his own.
Mr. Hwang took him to a place where no one would find him.
He wanted to do that.
Gi Yun, he disappeared for you.
He had been nothing but a headache, and he finally did something for me.
This is long overdue.
I pity him...
for taking things this far for a son like you.
Hee Jae, why don't you also disappear like him...
for your child, Soo A's sake?
(Chairman Jang Gi Yun)
How does it feel?
It's warm and nice.
You have to keep your body warm...
- to stay in good health. - I see.
Can you get up and come this way?
Now, this is a catalog of our products.
I began to take an interest...
in the health business with the increase in life expectancy.
If you want to start this business, I'll support and help you.
- Really? Thank you. - No problem.
Are you going somewhere?
Yes, the chairman is going to a different place.
- You won't come back here anymore? - I guess not.
Hey, we won't get to meet from now on,
so why don't we grab a drink?
I'm busy, and I have to drive too.
Wait, then give me your number.
Why?
How slow are you?
Don't you know what it means when a woman wants your number?
How frustrating.
Well, I might have to contact you.
I don't think so. Goodbye.
What's with him?
Other men would die to have my number.
Did he just turn me down when I asked for his number?
Chang Sung, I have to look after you,
so we can't go too far.
You can stay here.
Gi Yun wouldn't expect you...
to stay here.
Okay.
You can use this room.
- Really? - Yes.
Let's go into the room, Chang Sung.
Goodness.
Do you feel tired?
- Do you want to lie down? - No, in a little bit.
I can stay here alone.
You should get some rest too.
Okay. I have to be at a shoot,
so I'll make it quick.
Gi Yun.
By now,
you would've received my email.
That was the only thing...
I could do for you.
I wanted to leave this world forever...
after I did that for you.
(You've got new mail.)
(Dear my son, Gi Yun...)
My name is Jang Chang Sung.
Many of you were probably shocked...
to hear that I had been alive.
I'm sorry.
I sometimes lose my mind...
because of dementia.
That was why I hoped to speak the truth...
while my mind had cleared up.
There are rumors that say my son has locked me up...
and abused me.
These are all untrue.
Just as my son, Gi Yun,
disclosed to the media,
I made him do everything because I wanted this.
I asked Gi Yun to make it look like I was dead.
Gi Yun respected my decision...
and reluctantly turned me into a dead man.
After that,
Gi Yun looked after me...
with utmost care.
It must've been tough to look after me...
away from people's eyes.
But he never showed it to me...
while he took care of me.
Gi Yun is...
a wonderful son.
No one could find a better son.
I wanted...
all this to happen.
My son, Gi Yun,
didn't do anything wrong.
If he was guilty of something,
his only crime was that he respected my decision.
I am sorry...
for causing this commotion.
Dad.
I'm sorry.
However,
I can't go back. Nor can I stop.
I don't care even if I end up in a fiery pit.
I will not stop.
Gi Yun.
You're my son.
I...
couldn't destroy you.
I wanted...
to take all the responsibility and leave this world...
so that...
the world...
wouldn't criticize you.
Dad.
I'll make good use of this video...
you gave me.
With this,
I will...
take down Seo Hee Jae for good.
Is this the police? It's Jang Gi Yun.
I have a video proving that the footage...
Seo Hee Jae submitted before is fake.
May I send it to your email?
(Dongbu Police Station)
Ms. Seo. In the previous video,
what Chairman Jang stated was unfavorable toward his son, Gi Yun.
But in the video Chairman Jang Gi Yun submitted,
Chairman Jang made a completely different testimony.
Would you like to watch the video?
There are rumors that say my son has locked me up...
and abused me.
These are all untrue.
Just as my son, Gi Yun,
disclosed to the media,
I made him do everything because I wanted this.
I asked Gi Yun to make it look like...
I was dead.
Gi Yun respected my decision...
and reluctantly turned me into a dead man.
Ms. Seo.
As Chairman Jang Gi Yun said,
we can't help but think you used...
Chairman Jang's dementia and made him take...
the video you submitted.
No.
Something must be wrong.
Seo Hee Jae. No, Shin Ju Kyung.
Were you dying to get what was mine?
Didn't you use Dad's dementia to become...
the chairwoman in the past?
And now, you declared him dead and even went this far.
Jang Gi Yun.
Why are you torturing me this much?
Because you were Soo A's mom,
I overlooked all your evil doings.
But you're crossing the line.
Don't say Soo A's name...
with that filthy mouth of yours.
Detective.
I can't forgive Seo Hee Jae for using my Dad...
suffering from dementia.
I'm reporting her for making false accusations...
and defamation.
Jang Gi Yun.
I should ask why you're tormenting me this much.
Why? Just why?
Father.
Why did you do it, Father?
Why did you help Gi Yun?
I'm sorry.
I'm terribly sorry to you.
Why are you making it harder for me?
He's my son.
Gi Yun is my son.
Even so...
I'm sorry.
A parent...
should take on their child's mistakes.
I don't need money or honor.
What I want...
is to live as one's parent.
To die while living as Gi Yun's father.
That's my last wish.
The person you have reached is unavailable.
Please leave a message after the tone.
Chairman Jang...
Didn't I tell you to lie low until I get in touch?
I was out of cash and couldn't use my credit card.
And so?
How dare you come without permission and take my money?
My apologies.
You broke two things.
You appeared before me when I told you to hide.
And you laid your hand on my safe.
My apologies.
How dare you go against my command?
Do you know what happens when you do?
Tak Sung Gu, you scumbag!
I'm sorry!
I'm sorry, Chairman Jang.
I won't defy you again.
I'm sorry, Dad.
- Dad... - You punk!
- Dad! - You little...
- Let go of me! - Dad...
I'm sorry, Chairman Jang.
They say one acts as they are raised.
I'm doing exactly what Dad did to me.
Disappear until I get in touch.
Understood.
Mr. Tak.
Stop living such a life.
Jang Gi Yun is using you.
He's making you settle the dirty jobs he should.
And yet,
you're loyal to Gi Yun.
It's none of your concern.
In the end,
you'll only get used by Gi Yun...
and get tragically abandoned.
Chairman Jang would never do that.
You're Ms. Seo Hee Jae, yes?
Why is the police here?
Mr. Jang Gi Yun filed a restraining order...
prohibiting you from seeing Jang Soo A.
"A restraining order?"
Yes. You cannot approach her anymore.
I'm Soo A's mom.
You can't keep us apart when I haven't told her anything.
Soo A is waiting for me.
I said Soo A was waiting for me.
I'm Soo A's mom!
I'm sorry.
You're also prohibited from calling her.
If we find any call records between you and your daughter,
you will be punished.
You can't do this to me!
I can't call my daughter or meet her?
Soo A...
Mommy went on a business trip.
She won't be back for a few days.
How many days will it take her?
It won't take long.
It's late. Go to sleep.
Okay.
Gi Yun, I haven't said a word to Soo A.
How can you suddenly put me on a restraining order?
You need to lift this right now.
I can't do that.
I already explained the situation to Soo A.
Don't worry about it and mind your own.
Gi Yun!
(Soo A)
Mommy, why won't you pick up?
Mommy?
Please, Mommy.
I can finally breathe now that Hee Jae is gone.
Hee Jae should have never returned.
That's what I'm talking about.
It would've been great if she had died in that car accident.
You're right.
Ju Kyung should have died in that car accident.
If she had, this evil fate wouldn't have continued this long.
She can't come near Soo A because of the restraining order,
but Ju Kyung won't sit on her hands.
She'll find a way to approach Soo A again.
I'll keep her away...
from Soo A, you, and me.
I won't let her come anywhere close.
Once again, I'll take her life with my hands.
I'll make sure she never appears before us again.
I will do it.
Soo A!
Oh, my.
Soo A.
You did that?
You were the one...
who sent her to the other side?
Soo A, it's...
I hate you.
I didn't know you were such a bad person.
I want to go to Mommy.
Soo A!
Jang Soo A.
Jang Soo A! Open the door!
- Open the door now. - Mommy...
- Jang Soo A! - Mommy...
- Jang Soo A! - Gi Yun, here's the key.
(Soo A)
It's me, Soo A.
Mommy.
Yes, Soo A. It's me, Mommy.
Mommy.
Jang Soo A!
Mommy!
- Soo A, what's wrong? - Mommy!
- Soo A.
Soo A!
(The Elegant Empire)
Jang Gi Yun, you're abusing Soo A...
in a crafty way as her father.
Squeeze out your maternal instincts and kneel down before me.
Then, I'll let you meet Soo A.
Why is Jaclyn with Hee Jae?
Those wicked brats.
How dare you deceive Gi Yun and me?
Gi Yun! Jaclyn and...
