I will sell 700,000 shares belonging to WIDE's chairman,
and have them immediately purchased by Ms. Ham Sook Jin.
- Yes. - Yes.
(Youngshin Securities)
You need to stop the deal.
What's the problem, sir?
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.
The authenticity?
Are you suspecting us?
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.
Here. Take a look.
(Power of Attorney, Nam Heung Sik)
(If I fall unconscious or suddenly die, my authority goes to Woo Ji Hwan.)
Is that confirmed?
How can you prove this is the chairman's handwriting?
I definitely got my power of attorney from him.
Other than the one I brought,
I will not acknowledge anything else.
Send them all out and continue with our deal.
It seems my grandfather knew this would happen.
He also sent me a recording.
What? A voice recording?
The date is August 16, 2022,
and it's nine in the evening.
In the study of my home at Ilyuro in Iryu-gu, Seoul,
I hand over my power of attorney to my grandson...
Woo Ji Hwan to be used in case of an emergency.
To add, any power of attorney created after this moment,
whatever form they take,
has nothing to do with what I want.
They are forgeries,
and I state that clearly here and now.
Please check the date on the document Ms. Ham brought in.
Woo Ji Hwan.
You killed my father and got this far.
I'll never forgive you.
I said I'd follow you to the end...
and crush you completely.
You'd better remember that.
How did Ji Hwan know where we'd be?
Can you guess?
I have no idea. Perhaps he was watching me.
How did you get the money to buy the shares today?
- You needn't know. - Mother.
I said I took care of it. Will you stop asking?
We need to know how Ji Hwan tracked you.
Did you touch Grandfather's assets?
He found out.
So what if he found out? What can he do?
Will he wake up an old man who could die at any moment?
Don't worry.
Getting your grandpa's shares isn't our only option.
We have enough money.
Until the shareholder meeting, we'll buy up whatever is available.
It feels so off.
How so?
What's off?
I need to see if Grandfather really hasn't woken up.
What do you mean?
He wrote out a power of attorney...
and made a recording before he collapsed.
I just don't get it.
He can't have known he'd pass out. Why would he go that far?
Are you saying your grandfather's awake?
Just in case. If that happens to be true...
That can't be true.
We must stop it at all costs.
The witch.
If I hadn't made the recording as you suggested,
she might have...
taken all my shares from under my nose.
I asked the security company to be more alert.
What for?
They all heard your voice recording.
I think Ms. Ham will try to find out when it was made.
Are you all right, Grandpa?
From a family member I lived with for over 30 years,
I must fight just to stay alive.
I think...
my life was in vain.
No. It's not your fault.
I failed to recognize someone evil.
How is that not a fault?
It is...
a grave one.
I should have cut her loose long ago,
but I thought I should protect Chan Woo's children,
so knowing she was poisonous...
I kept her close.
No, Grandpa. It wasn't your fault.
It's theirs for using your grace.
Whatever others say, you did nothing wrong.
Tae Hyung...
was there too.
The witch eventually...
ruined her own son.
I don't know where to start to correct all this.
If Grandpa is alive,
Ji Hwan will have come here to report what happened.
Yes. I was right.
You said visitors were not allowed.
That means Ji Hwan, you've been lying to us.
What? Ji Hwan's going in and out of the ward?
What did I tell you?
I told you to check.
What else can I do to check when Dr. Jang said he's gravely ill?
How could Grandpa's doctor lie to you?
This cannot happen.
Ban Dr. Jang from getting close to Grandpa...
and find another doctor.
No, we needn't do that.
If it has come to this,
we can play along with Dr. Jang's lie,
then use him at the crucial moment.
This is not the time to say that.
Ji Hwan lied to us.
That means Grandpa is not gravely ill at all.
The tenacious old man...
He'll have heard by now that we tried to buy his shares.
If he shows up at the shareholder meeting,
we'll be done for.
That won't happen.
Your grandpa won't be able to take a step out of the hospital.
You don't have to worry.
What will you do this time?
Why are you following me?
Did Mother send you?
Does she want me sent away somewhere?
- No. - It wasn't just today.
You've been following me constantly.
Tell Mother to stop trying to do something to me.
I won't let the same thing happen again.
Can I ask you to do just one thing?
If something were to happen...
What? Is something about to happen to me?
No, not at all.
It's not the case, but if something does happen...
Please call me first.
I don't trust you.
I haven't for a long time.
So don't pretend to care for me.
- Ms. Nam. - You pretend to be concerned,
but behind that mask is your real face...
with which you do Mother's bidding.
I know that.
Don't tail me again.
If I catch you again, I'll call the police.
(Law Firm Haneol)
(Seohyun University Hospital)
- Hi, Mom. - Are you home?
I'm just getting off work. Are you home?
I just got home with some groceries.
Groceries? You went shopping this late?
I called to ask if you and Tae Hyung can come over for dinner tomorrow.
What for?
Isn't it obvious? He was in the hospital for a while,
and I didn't get to visit.
I wanted to cook him a meal.
Oh...
That's too bad.
I think he said he'd be home late all this week.
Did he?
And I have to visit the chairman after I get off work.
It would sound bad to invite him...
to dinner when the chairman's ill.
We'll drop by some other time next week.
Okay, do that. Be sure to eat on time.
Bye.
Oh, dear.
I'll just have some rice and water.
Ju Hong's doing fine, isn't she, honey?
Before she was married, I didn't worry much about...
whether she was in or out.
Now that she's married,
why do I always feel so worried about her?
I'm home, Ms. Sim.
You said you'd be home late.
I rushed over in case you'd stand by the sink and eat...
rice and water.
How did you know?
I was just about to pour some water onto the rice.
You cannot do that. Why not?
Because I bought a box of your favorite fried chicken.
Did you? Goodness.
When I saw you earlier today,
I thought you looked a bit down.
So I said to myself,
"This evening, it's chicken and beer."
This is why it's good to have family around.
Isn't it?
Isn't the family you eat breakfast and dinner with...
each day the best?
Isn't that obvious?
You're the best.
Are you going home?
Yes. Take care. I'll see you tomorrow.
Are you going up to the VIP suite?
Yes, I'll be doing that for a while.
I think your in-laws are really dedicated.
- Why? - Your husband.
I saw him standing outside the VIP suite.
My husband?
He isn't allowed in, but he's worried about his grandfather.
I thought he'd come to stand in the corridor anyway.
See you tomorrow, doctor.
Bye.
Hi, Ju Hong.
Hey, it's me.
Yes, I'm listening.
Well...
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.
Then he'll have seen me leave Grandpa's room.
What if he realized that the chairman is conscious now?
I beefed up security.
He won't be able to get in for now.
You just say you don't know anything.
Say you don't know if I've been going into Grandpa's room.
And say he's still unconscious.
Just say that.
If not, he might harass you.
I'm not worried about that...
No. Do as I say.
It must look like I planned and carried it out alone.
If not, you might end up in danger.
Okay. I'll do as you say.
His grandpa raised him,
and instead of worrying he might worsen,
he's worried he might get better.
Nam Tae Hyung. You're not even human.
This is the amount of shares our allies hold today.
Hang on. Annie's share increased this much?
Even without Grandpa's shares, if Annie would vote for us with hers,
we could win.
Whether Grandpa is conscious or not,
this time, I must become CEO.
I won't let Ji Hwan take the house...
or company from me.
Just so he could survive, he did that to my sister...
and went on to smile and eat.
You've been feeding your greed, Tae Hyung.
Min Young fell to her death in a deserted factory,
and her dying wish was texted to Ji Hwan.
The investigation was closed very quickly...
because police couldn't find proof of foul play.
Nam Tae Hyung and Ham Sook Jin are behind it, aren't they?
That day, the day of the accident,
I met Min Young.
If she wanted to donate her liver to Sol,
she wouldn't have killed herself.
Especially not on Sol's birthday.
That day, the person Min Young left to meet...
was Nam Tae Hyung.
So...
right before she died, the last person she contacted...
was Nam Tae Hyung.
From what I know, after that,
it seems Ji Hwan found some kind of clue.
He didn't tell me because it was too risky,
but he definitely had something.
Tell me one more thing.
What happened to Min Young's mom?
The accident from nine years ago.
Ju Hong told me you two talked about Min Young.
I begged her.
I can't stay here forever.
I must travel.
And there's more you want to know?
I heard you found a clue...
regarding Min Young's death.
I had a whole team work on it and they couldn't find it.
What was that clue?
If you were going to forge it as your fault,
you should've done it better.
You should've said that you caused the accident and you were sorry.
You should've told Ji Hwan that, compensated him enough,
and ended everything nice and clean.
To protect you, I've hidden that woman for nine years.
And you resent me for what I did?
What does that mean?
It was recorded on Min Young's phone the day she died.
My team told me...
her phone was damaged in the fall.
No. Tae Hyung made up that story.
Fortunately, her phone was connected to an online server...
that makes automatic copies and we retrieved it from there.
Why didn't you hand this over to the police?
Because then I'd have lost this too.
At the time, I couldn't trust the police or anyone.
So nine years ago, Tae Hyung hit Min Young's mother with his car,
and to cover it up, Ham Sook Jin...
kept her hidden for nine years.
Min Young found that out...
and Tae Hyung killed her.
Why won't you answer?
Whether it's a photo or video of him,
I told you to take something and send it to me.
That's not something I can do.
- Or want to do. - What?
I can't turn the chairman into a prop.
You're talking to a daughter-in-law concerned for her father-in-law...
and saying I'm treating him like a prop?
I'm asking you to do it because I can't visit.
What's going on?
This is just unbelievable.
Will you listen to her?
I asked how the chairman's doing...
and she's saying I'm turning him into a prop.
It's against my conscience as a doctor.
The chairman is at death's door,
and I won't take photos to be circulated here and there.
"Here and there?"
Am I just a random person?
Calm down, Mother.
"Your conscience as a doctor?"
You're hiding how the chairman's doing to scheme us.
Mother.
What are you hiding? What is it?
I really wish you were right.
I wish I were doing this to hide the chairman's condition.
What do you mean?
We're worried sick about him too,
but we can't visit.
You know we're doing this out of frustration.
I just saw him not respond to me calling him.
If the chairman were awake,
why would I hide that from you?
I have no reason to.
Thanks a lot, Ji Hwan.
For not giving up on looking into my sister's death.
She's my sister too.
To Mom, Sol, and me,
she's a family that no one can replace.
About...
the favor you asked of me last time.
You asked me...
to become Min Young to meet your mom and Sol.
I'm thinking of doing it.
You are?
Will you really pretend to be Min Young for my mom and Sol?
Last time, we met so briefly.
I thought I should meet them properly at least once.
Thanks so much.
I should study Min Young, then.
Her hairstyle or clothes, I can pick up from photos,
but when it comes to topics to talk about with Sol,
I'll need your help.
- Sol. - Yes?
Do you want to see your aunt tomorrow?
Auntie? She's coming over?
- She'd like to see you. - Great.
Grandma. Let's meet Aunt Min Young.
- Min Young? - Yes, your daughter.
Min Young. I like Min Young.
Grandma likes it too.
Okay, then. I'll arrange something.
I want to wear the dress she got me.
The one she got me on my birthday.
Oh... Okay.
Would she be pleased to see me in it?
Can we talk?
Sorry. I have an early meeting and must rush.
You wanted to tell me about my father.
Right.
I'd like to know what it's about.
Well...
Grandpa gave me something long ago.
It belonged to Dad,
and I'm not sure if I should have it.
That's why I called.
What do you have?
He'll have heard by now that we tried to buy his shares.
If he shows up at the shareholder meeting,
we'll be done for.
I can't let that happen.
How was the chairman last night?
Well...
The chairman woke up a while ago.
What? Is he conscious?
Why didn't anyone tell me?
He woke briefly, then went back to sleep.
Did he talk? Did he say anything?
Okay.
Who he meets and what he says to them.
Make note of everything.
Okay, I'll do that.
By the way, is it true...
only medical staff are allowed in the room?
Yes. Visitors are banned.
Yes. I'll call you back.
The old man is awake?
(CEO Ham Sook Jin)
How come nothing in life...
is easy or for free?
I should visit the chairman...
to bid him farewell.
What is this place?
Did you bring what I asked?
Yes.
That's fine, put it back in your bag.
What for?
Didn't you ask for it because you need it?
Did you say you wanted to start a business?
What?
I should pay you for backing up...
my story when the chairman passed out.
How about I finance your new business?
Would you really?
Would you give me money to start my business?
Of course I would.
But before I do, I need you to do something simple.
Something simple?
Sir. I'm sorry.
I'm really sorry.
Get a bed in the ICU.
We must move him now.
The ICU?
Grandpa.
(The Secret House)
Did you wrap it up well?
How many times must I tell you? I did everything properly.
Sol, Mom.
Thank you, Min Young.
It's fine. I had fun too.
I wasn't sure if I should call,
but I did because I thought you should know.
What do you think you're doing?
If you really are remorseful,
you pay the price, instead of doing something like this.
