(Episode 101)
(Seohyun University Hospital)
Please wait here.
- What? - No one can enter.
Step aside.
I'm sorry.
Don't you know who I am?
Step aside if you want to keep your job.
Ms. Ham.
The chairman is seriously ill.
How bad is he?
He has a fever and his inflammatory markers are very high.
I have no choice but to ban all visitors.
- Isn't Woo Ji Hwan in there? - Well...
What? Woo Ji Hwan is allowed in,
and I'm not? Is that it?
No. There's no exception.
Not even I can go in.
The chairman's immunity is very weak.
Only a minimal number of staff and his carer can go in.
Shouldn't he be moved to the ICU?
If he develops pneumonia...
and septicemia, then he will be moved to the ICU.
- Is he conscious? - Not yet.
Yes, I just reached the hospital.
That's great news.
Ms. Ham just went downstairs.
You'd better confirm she leaves the building before coming up.
Okay, I'll do that. Bye.
Where are you headed this early?
I must check something at the hospital.
- At the hospital? - Keep quiet and lead the way.
Ms. Ham's on her way to the hospital.
You should be prepared.
(Ji Hwan)
Ham Sook Jin.
Is she gone?
Yes.
The darn wench.
She must've come here hoping to hear I was dead.
She'll have left all disappointed.
Well, Grandfather...
That thing. I will never forgive her.
I will not let her go on with her life...
as if nothing happened.
Grandfather.
My name.
Can you say it?
Like when you did when you woke up.
Can you say my name again?
What for?
Have you forgotten your own name?
Yes. I must've suddenly turned stupid.
I can only remember my name if you say it to me.
How did I...
end up with a fool for a grandson?
I know.
I just can't believe you're here...
talking to me again.
My mind has gone blank.
Thank you so much for waking up.
- Ji Hwan. - Yes, Grandpa.
Just so I could see you again...
To see you again, I woke up.
Yes, I know that. Thank you.
I couldn't leave you all alone.
I just couldn't do that to you. I couldn't die.
I fought to the death.
Thank you.
Thank you so much.
Not at all.
While I was here, unconscious,
you took care of the family and the company.
It must've been so hard on you, especially when you had no one.
No, don't say that.
I'm so glad you're awake.
Thank you, Grandpa.
I'm happy now.
I said you should move to a larger office.
What for?
I don't want to cause a fuss when Grandpa's unconscious.
I guess, seeing he'll soon end up in the ICU,
that would be poor timing.
The ICU? Then he is getting worse?
Yes. Dr. Jang told me himself.
The old fool.
If only we could host his funeral before the shareholder meeting.
If you're that suspicious, ask your wife.
- What? - I told her...
to send me a photo or video and she will soon.
You can take it. I'll see you later.
Hi, Annie.
Others would think this is your office.
I did some thinking yesterday.
I'm the one with leverage over you,
so why are you in high spirits?
And? Did you reach a conclusion?
I thought you don't know me well.
I don't know you?
What's this?
It says you'll sign over WIDE's shares.
- What? - Give your shares to me.
This is just unbelievable. So what?
If I can't be CEO, neither can Tae Hyung.
Nam Tae Hee.
If you want to make Tae Hyung CEO, you'd better get on my good side.
Did you actually think I'd sign this?
Don't you think you'll have to?
I know a secret of yours.
I have nothing more to hear. Get out.
If you refuse...
I'll tell Ji Hwan how Dad died.
What?
Not only did you have his mother locked up for nine years,
but you also killed his father too.
How would Ji Hwan react to that?
No one will believe your story,
so you can put that sweet idea away.
I won't tell just anyone. I'll tell Ji Hwan.
Wouldn't he believe me even if the whole world doesn't?
Do whatever you want.
The statutes expired long ago,
and there's no proof whatsoever.
Who would believe you?
And your father was an accomplice...
My birth father has nothing to do with it.
He had nothing to do with it from the start.
Then you must go on and tell him.
Talk all you want.
Hi, Ji Hwan. It's me, Tae Hee.
I have something to tell you about your dad.
- What? Are you afraid? - Nam Tae Hee.
Now, are you more willing to give in to me?
What does she have to say about Dad?
Did you really do it?
Was Dad... You...
Is it about that?
Hello, doctor.
Hello. The chairman is okay, isn't he?
Yes. He's waiting for you.
I should hand over my shares and grovel to her?
(CEO Ham Sook Jin)
I'm only willing to put up with her if she'll keep quiet,
but here she goes, digging her own grave.
I have no choice.
I'll shove her into the grave she dug.
He is conscious, but not yet stable.
Okay.
He must not get stressed out, so care for him well so he can rest.
- I'll do that. - Bye, then.
Grandpa, would you like to lie down?
Why have you not gone to work today?
Well, you're awake and...
You're missing work because of that?
I'm on holiday. I'm taking a break.
Why would you take a break when summer is almost over?
The truth is,
I was transferred.
I start at my new office on Monday.
Why were you transferred?
Where to?
Here you go. Let's eat.
He was transferred? So suddenly?
I guess the CEO decided it was time he got promoted.
It's not a promotion. More like you kicked him out.
What an excuse.
I didn't know, but she says he can learn a lot over there.
She must have a lot on her plate before the shareholder meeting,
and she thought of that?
Your mother is quite something.
Not really. She did the obvious.
I was going to treat you to something nice.
No. You're busy, so I should come to see you.
And I thought it would be fun to eat a packed meal in your office.
It's so strange.
What is?
Whenever I'm having a rough time,
you appear before me.
Oh, then I shouldn't call so often.
- What? - I call when you have a rough time.
Wouldn't you feel better if I don't call, then?
No, you can't put it that way.
You provide me such great comfort.
Can I believe that?
You'd better. These days,
I feel most at ease when I'm with you.
And I'm sincerely grateful.
Yes. Come to me one step at a time.
I will make it so that I'm the only person...
you can cling to.
I like the food from here.
That's good to hear. Have some of mine.
Thank you. You should eat too.
I don't think working at the factory is all bad.
I'd wanted to know how things work there.
Things like logistics and warehouse management.
I'll learn a lot while I'm there.
Last time we talked.
Why did you want to see Chan Woo's death note?
- What? - You even went to Dr. Jang...
and asked him about Chan Woo's death.
Oh, that was...
Was it because...
you suspected Ham Sook Jin?
Grandpa.
That was it.
You knew already.
Who would...
How did you find out?
The witch...
told me herself.
Ms. Ham said that to you?
She kept coming at me.
Eventually,
she unleashed a dreadful torrent...
until I passed out.
Is that why you collapsed?
I had my doubts but was it really Ms. Ham who caused it?
Take it. Go on.
Okay.
Hello, Mr. Kim.
Yes.
Grandfather's property?
Send me the details and I'll confirm and get back to you.
Okay, bye.
Why did the lawyer call?
Is there a problem...
with my property?
Actually,
in case someone did something to your assets,
I asked Mr. Kim to check for any changes to your properties.
And...
As soon as you collapsed,
the mall opposite Iryu Station...
was used as collateral to take out a loan.
I was lying here in a hospital bed,
so who could've taken out a loan on my property?
How much was the loan?
We know of 12 million dollars so far.
Grandpa. Are you all right? Grandpa.
Is the money in the account?
Yes.
I'll buy up the chairman's shares. Transfer it all to my account.
How about doing that over a few days?
That large amount could become a problem.
The shareholder meeting is four days away.
We don't have time.
Take care of it immediately.
I'll head to the stock trading firm soon.
This came in the registered mail for you.
Okay, thanks.
(Central District Prosecutors' Office)
It looks like the Prosecutors' Office subpoenaed you again.
The embezzlement investigation the chairman requested...
Ignore it. I have no time for this right now.
You can't refuse for no good reason.
You might end up a suspect, not just an involved party.
My son was a prosecutor.
Do you think I don't know that?
See someone at the Prosecutors' Office or throw money at them.
Just hold this off until the shareholder meeting.
That's...
Can you think for once?
If I go to answer some questions, Ji Hwan will find out right away.
And then...
the shareholders will find out I'm suspected of embezzlement...
and dereliction of duty,
he'll plant doubt in their minds, and I won't get my way.
Will you just go and have the money transferred to me?
I will.
Ji Hwan, you dare come after me?
I'll end you before you even get a chance to stretch before you act.
I'll squash you so flat. Just you wait.
I can't wait here forever,
but I can't go home either.
Should I barge into the hospital?
So what if I do?
Not even Ms. Ham could get into the room.
Gosh, even the coffee tastes bad.
You'll end up acing whatever test you take.
What are you writing so intently?
Oh, my gosh. I won't look.
I'm done.
Wait. What did you write?
- This is mine. - Wait.
I'll take a quick peek and give it right back to you.
No. This is mine.
Why are you so stubborn?
- I said I'd give it back! - No!
What's going on?
Oh... Well...
Why did you yell at Granny?
No... well...
My granny hates it when people yell.
No, well, you see,
I didn't yell at her.
I wanted to see and commend her handwriting,
but she wouldn't show it to me.
If she says no, I'd rather you not try to force her.
If she says no, she really means it.
Sure, okay. Point taken.
I'm sleepy.
Shall we go upstairs to our room?
Yes. I'm sleepy.
When did you come home, Sol?
Just now. Granny says she's sleepy.
Did she?
- Let's take her upstairs for a nap. - Okay.
I'm sure she wrote "Kim Jung Im."
It can't be.
Am I seeing things now? I need to pull myself together.
Ji Hwan's mother was admitted to Gangin Nursing Home as Kim Jung Im.
While she had that name for nine years,
no one looked for the real Kim Jung Im.
Either she had no family,
or her family knew her identity was being abused.
It's one or the other.
If that's the case, I must look up...
Kim Jung Im's extended family.
Was that it?
Ms. Sim.
Kyung Sun kept on writing that name nonstop.
I wondered why and that was the reason?
Who did such a thing to Kyung Sun?
That's what I'm trying to find out.
If something like that happened, you should tell the police first.
Why are you muttering about it to yourself?
Ji Hwan went to the police years ago and even reported it.
They didn't get anywhere.
Oh, dear.
Then either you recover the recording on the pen,
or you find Kim Jung Im.
We need one of the two to happen...
to find out what happened to Kyung Sun.
Wow. You're almost a private investigator yourself.
Don't be so silly.
Excuse me.
Hi, Ji Hwan. Yes.
Who?
Get me Ms. Ham's call history.
For two weeks starting the day my grandfather fainted.
Yes. Do that for me. Thanks.
Call when you have it.
Bye.
You must be busy.
I'm trying to find out something.
Can you spare a few minutes?
I have something to say.
Okay.
I'm sorry. I should've asked you first.
I didn't have the time to because of the chairman,
but I also just wanted to tell Annie everything.
I thought Min Young would want it too.
Right. Thanks, Ju Hong.
She is Min Young's identical twin.
Annie should know the truth.
Nam Tae Hyung and Ham Sook Jin. I will go after them to the end.
I said I'd take those who harmed my mom to justice,
and I never forgot that vow.
I know how you feel.
I can't just watch Ham Sook Jin attack my grandfather.
I will protect him.
I'll accept Annie's help if I need to.
You're fighting so hard for your family.
You'll get your way.
I will do anything I can to help.
Hi, Jin Ho.
Really?
Grandpa's shares?
If we have just 700,000 more shares, we'll be safe.
Then we'll have over 50 percent of the shares,
and that means...
Director Kim will be able to nominate you for CEO...
at the shareholder meeting.
- But Grandpa... - The chairman...
will share some sad news in the near future.
At this meeting, whatever happens, you must become CEO.
If we miss out this time, we might never get another shot.
If you're sure Grandfather doesn't have long to live,
wouldn't it be better if you were to remain CEO?
I'm tied down by the investigation into my embezzlement.
Even if I throw Mr. Kim under the bus,
if someone suggests I remain CEO and the shareholders vote against it,
it'll be a matter of time before Ji Hwan takes over.
I kept this title this far only for you.
What other reason would I have had to fight for so long?
Now, are you prepared?
Do you have the money to buy the shares with?
Of course I do.
Jin Capital's accounts are out of bounds.
Where did you get so much money?
Do you think I didn't prepare beforehand?
I spent so much money to learn...
and then pave the way to get here.
You can relax and follow my lead.
(Youngshin Securities)
Hello. I'm Kang Ji Won for Youngshin Securities.
Thank you for sparing your time.
- Hello. I'm Ham Sook Jin. - Hello.
He is the chairman's financial deputy.
I'm Choi Jong Hyuk, a lawyer.
I've never met the chairman's financial deputy.
This is my son, Nam Tae Hyung, Director of Management and Planning.
Hello.
Hello. It's a pleasure to meet you.
Shall we all sit down?
You must've seen in the news that the chairman suddenly fell ill.
We weren't at all planned for this.
You'll have checked the power of attorney.
Mr. Choi Jong Hyuk the lawyer here, in the chairman's place,
will purchase 700,000 shares.
Wanting to purchase that many shares prior to a shareholder meeting?
It's very unusual.
It is. We must do the chairman's bidding,
and we're trying to defend management rights,
so I think we should go ahead with the transaction.
Yes, you should.
When shares change hands within a family,
if the selling price is lower than the initial purchase price,
you must pay a gift tax.
That could be the case if the price has fallen.
We will pay the tax.
Okay, then. I will sell 700,000 shares belonging to WIDE's chairman,
and have them immediately purchased by Ms. Ham Sook Jin.
- Yes. - Yes.
You need to stop the deal.
What's the problem, sir?
The chairman's power of attorney...
Do you mind if I check the document?
What do you mean?
We have a problem.
A problem?
The chairman gave me the document himself.
How could there be a problem with that?
The authenticity of the document was brought into question.
The authenticity?
Are you suspecting us of fraud?
Well...
I am so offended.
The chairman is at death's door,
and I brought a forged document? Is that what you're saying?
Yes.
You brought a forged document, Ms. Ham Sook Jin.
Woo Ji Hwan.
My grandfather's power of attorney was written and signed...
by the chairman himself and it's right here.
(The Secret House)
Take this and stop her. I will not let Ham Sook Jin...
take even one of my company shares.
- It feels so off. - How so?
I need to see if Grandfather really hasn't woken up.
Are you saying your grandfather's awake?
I think Tae Hyung was at the hospital this afternoon.
- Tae Hyung? - I think he was there to check...
if anyone was going in or out of the chairman's room.
I should visit the chairman...
to bid him farewell.
