Grandpa.
(Episode 103)
What is it?
I apologize. I'm so sorry.
Forgive me.
- Hello? - Are you Mr. Nam Heung Sik's guardian?
Yes.
This is the hospital ward. Come over quick.
We're moving Mr. Nam.
Okay, I'll be right there.
Nam Tae Hyung, Ham Sook Jin...
Grandpa.
Grandpa!
Hello?
How did it go? Is it done?
What?
Did you do it or not?
Oh, well, now...
He's being moved to the ICU.
The ICU? Then it worked?
I guess so.
Good. Sneak out and make sure Ji Hwan doesn't notice you.
Did you wrap it up well?
If this fails,
I won't go down alone. Remember that.
How many times must I tell you? I did everything properly.
Okay, then. Go home and rest. You must be tired.
Now things will quieten down on the hospital front.
Am I left with just the shareholder meeting, then?
The result was going to be the same anyway.
The chairman was bound to end up in the ICU even if I did nothing.
I get money to finance my new business...
without committing a crime.
It couldn't go better than this.
The syringe.
Stupid me! I should've brought the syringe with me!
Darn it.
Hello. Why did my grandfather suddenly pass out?
What's the problem?
Please wait outside.
We'll run tests and take the necessary measures.
Hey, Ju Hong, it's me.
Where did it go? I must find it.
I can't lose that thing.
If there's this much medication left in the syringe,
I think the person didn't even inject any.
Let's wait.
Your grandfather will pull through this again.
I hope so. Thanks, Ju Hong.
Mother. Is it true?
Yes. He just got wheeled into the ICU.
We should release the news tomorrow, then.
The shareholders should hear about this.
Yes. My son is back at last.
Grandpa worked so hard to build up the company.
Shouldn't we have news outlets say WIDE won't crumble...
over something this small?
If I give an interview,
people will get the gist of who's in line to take over.
You will be extremely busy tomorrow.
And Annie.
She bought even more WIDE shares in the past few days.
Did she? How much?
If we add up all the shares owned by our allies, we safely have...
over 50 percent.
She does everything right...
as if she can read my mind.
- I plan to see her tomorrow evening. - Tomorrow evening?
I should keep her on our side.
Grandpa, are you really okay?
I'm very okay.
Did I scare you?
You have no idea how worried I was. I thought you'd die or something.
This incident...
must be kept between us.
I was going to keep it from you...
and stay in bed as if I were dead.
But knowing how much you'd worry,
I just couldn't do that.
Did something happen?
While you were being moved,
I found a syringe on the floor.
Was it about that?
Who was it, Grandpa?
Was it Ms. Ham or Tae Hyung?
Don't try to find out.
This is as much as I will let you know.
So you know exactly...
who brought the syringe in?
Grandpa.
You want me to bring what?
I read through everything you sent me.
A petition from the victim's wife or daughter...
Why do you need that when I was indicted already?
Don't you just have to prove in court that I'm not guilty?
It's much easier...
if the victim's family doesn't want you sentenced.
I know it's hard, but try talking to them.
I came all the way here because I heard you were a good law firm.
You don't offer much.
(Hanearl Law Firm)
Your future is at stake.
However hard I prepare and defend you,
a trial can be lost in an instant.
We might not be able to say...
you're not guilty, but you should get probation at least.
Hello, it's Nam Tae Hee.
Hello.
What's going on?
Is Ju Hong in trouble?
Would you like something? I'll...
No. I can buy my own coffee.
Even so.
Your iced latte is ready.
Hi, Jin Ho. Why did you call this early?
I wasn't sure if I should call,
but I did because I thought you should know.
What is it about?
Your mom left after getting a call from Tae Hee.
- From whom? - I told her not to go,
but she just left saying she wanted to hear...
what Tae Hee had to say.
You want me to write what?
As I've been saying, what happened was an accident.
But I really am saddened...
by how things ended up.
I apologize.
I thought only of myself at the time.
I'm very remorseful about that, so...
So you want me to write a petition?
Please.
If you help me out this time,
I will remember your grace for the rest of my life.
I'm here because you said you wanted to talk about Ju Hong.
But what? You want a petition?
I won't write one even if my life's at stake, so forget about it!
- Ms. Sim. - Actually, no.
I should write a petition...
that you be punished severely, without mercy.
Don't you know why I'm like this?
You got my husband killed,
and now you ask me for a petition?
How much longer will you act like this?
I said I'm remorseful!
Ju Hong.
You're remorseful?
You say that,
and then ask my mom to write a petition?
What do you think you're doing?
If you really are remorseful,
you pay the price, instead of doing something like this.
- What? - Get out.
Don't see my mom ever again.
This is between your mom and me.
So stay out of it. You can get out.
How dare you? I can't stand the way you speak!
You can ask us a thousand times, but we won't write a petition.
"We don't want her to be punished?"
No. We will make sure that you are.
So don't even dream of getting a petition.
Baek Ju Hong, you...
If you have time to do this, visit your grandfather.
Don't change the topic.
Did you know he was moved to the ICU yesterday?
Don't tell me you don't know yet.
What?
Did the chairman really end up back in the ICU?
If Tae Hee calls, tell me first from now on.
Or rather, don't take her calls.
No. Just block her number.
And if she comes to the store...
I'm your mom, not your daughter.
I can handle things without you worrying about me.
Why did you agree to see that shameless brat?
I'd have stopped you if you'd told me.
She only upset you.
How could I not see her when she wanted to talk about you?
Even so.
I can't help but worry because you live with her family.
Can I not worry that...
they might mistreat you?
Why worry about that?
Worry or not, she didn't get her way.
I hit the ceiling as soon as she said "petition,"
and ended up screaming at her.
Don't let it get to you. Forget about it.
Okay, fine.
I won't take her calls or meet with her again.
Are you happy now?
I'm sorry.
You berate me and then apologize.
Why are you so emotional?
I'm sorry...
you're stuck in the middle because of me.
I'm really sorry to upset you.
You're going through so much, Father.
If I cooked something nice,
you used to enjoy it so much.
And you haven't eaten in two weeks.
If you're reluctant to die because you worry about the company,
you don't have to be.
I'm your grandson and under my rule,
WIDE will turn a new leaf.
You taught him well and he will become...
a skilled and upright CEO.
Whatever people say,
Tae Hyung is your grandson and he takes after you.
I will get our product into A Market's stores,
and enter the US market...
successfully and profitably.
We'll get through the current crisis.
Until the day I die,
as your grandson,
I will look after the company and the household.
Now that you know I'm Lee Dong Cheol's son,
I can no longer wish for you to recover.
So let go of all your concerns...
and rest in peace.
Auntie!
Min Young.
Sol. Are you happy to be on a picnic?
Yes.
You're wearing the dress I got you for your birthday.
Yes. It fits me better now than it did then.
That's great.
- Mom. - Min Young.
Pretty Min Young.
Wasn't it hard to come this far?
You must be hungry. I'll set out the food.
Grandma, let's go and take photos.
Let's go.
You prepared so much.
I never got to see my sister's face,
but if she were given one day to see her family again,
I wondered what she'd want to do.
I tried to put myself in her shoes.
With her mom and daughter,
what would she want to do?
I gave it a lot of thought,
and decided she'd want to take them...
on a picnic and eat the food she'd prepared.
Thank you so much for agreeing to this.
Don't thank me for doing what I want.
You should go now.
The three of us will enjoy our picnic.
Sol, Mom. Everything's ready, so come over.
Why is the gimbap so ugly?
It is, right? I've never packed food for a picnic before.
- It doesn't taste good. - Grandma.
You're right, it won't taste good.
So I bought pizza and fried chicken, so eat this instead.
Your food is tasty.
You don't have to force yourself.
I'm not. It really is tasty.
Why can't I reach her?
Is everything okay, Annie?
I'm concerned you could be sick.
Call me as soon as you get this.
(Annie Brown)
Sir? The News Connect people are here for an interview.
Are they?
They're setting up in Ms. Ham's office.
Okay. Let's go.
- So... - What?
The rumor that you'll become CEO.
It's true, isn't it?
If you heard about it,
that means the whole company heard.
If it weren't true, that would be wrong, wouldn't it?
- What? - Let's go.
The reporter will be waiting.
What...
(WIDE's Chairman Nam in serious condition)
(Back in the ICU with respiratory issues)
- Hello, sir. - The chairman.
Is it true he's back in the ICU?
Yes.
We decided it would be best if he were allowed to rest and stabilize.
Still, it's concerning to hear he's back in the ICU.
He won't give up or move on that easily.
But this isn't the first incident this year.
The other directors are getting uneasy.
And to be honest, so am I.
Just who is being investigated for embezzlement and dereliction,
you know very well.
The chairman told me.
WIDE's greatest problem...
isn't the chairman's ill health.
If Ham Sook Jin and Nam Tae Hyung...
are allowed to commit crimes to privatize...
the company for their own good,
that would become WIDE's greatest crisis.
You know very well what my grandfather was thinking...
when he made the call.
How he established the company and made it what it is now,
you watched from close by.
If you were to stand by him,
the wavering directors would come around.
Can the chairman regain consciousness?
He definitely will.
I need you to help until he does.
Only then can we return WIDE to normal.
Please do that.
(Mom's Seolleongtang)
Welcome to Mom's Seolleongtang.
Ji Hwan, I'm glad you came by. I have something to tell you.
Tae Hee called Ms. Sim?
Yes, so I called Ju Hong and told her.
I was afraid Ms. Sim would falter...
and get manipulated.
She chewed me out for calling Ju Hong,
but even if it were to happen 100 times over,
I'd call Ju Hong and get chewed out for it.
Did she say what happened?
She didn't want to,
but I kept pestering her until she gave in.
Tae Hee wanted a petition that says they don't want her to be punished.
I know she's desperate and all,
but how could she do that?
How could she ask for that...
when she never apologized once?
How is Ms. Sim feeling?
There's no way she could be okay,
but she said she was.
She's trying so hard not to think of Mr. Baek,
and to ask for a petition that could let her off?
Eat your food.
I will a bit later.
No. Here, eat up.
You didn't eat a bite when you met that Director Yoo.
Have some broth at least.
If you skip your meals because the chairman's ill,
who will look out for the company?
(Seohyun University Hospital)
Are you satisfied now?
To make Ji Hwan your grandson,
you got us divorced.
And now look at you, helpless in bed.
I won't vote in your favor.
All the shares I have...
will go to whoever's against you and Ji Hwan.
You acted like you'd be on my side forever.
You deserted me first.
So don't be too sad.
You're the one who made me like this.
What Mom did to Dad,
and how you ended up in this state,
I will keep a secret.
From now on,
I'll care only about myself.
I'm turning against you.
Ji Hwan.
The blood test results are out?
I just saw them and everything is fine.
Oh, really? What a relief.
His respiratory symptoms seem to be temporary.
We don't have to worry about any medication.
Okay.
The other test results should be out soon.
I'll call you as soon as I get them.
Ju Hong.
Jin Ho filled me in.
I see.
You must be so upset.
No.
You're only disappointed if you have hope.
I was angry she called Mom. I'm okay with everything else.
I kind of expected it.
Don't worry about that and focus on your grandfather.
That must be hard enough.
Not everyone in the ICU ends up dead.
Lots of people recover after intense treatment.
Cheer up.
Ju Hong. About my grandfather...
No, it's nothing.
What is?
My grandpa is okay,
but I'm sorry I can't even tell you that right now.
Your mother and Sol.
Are they spending time with Annie?
Yes. They went to the park for a picnic.
Sol must be so pleased. Ms. An too.
Dad.
Sol. Did you have fun?
Totally.
We played in the park and then went to an aquarium.
Did you?
We saw sharks and penguins.
It was great fun.
You had a lovely time, then.
Thank you...
Min Young.
It's fine. I had fun too.
Good.
My legs hurt.
They must.
All that walking must've tired you out, Mom.
"Mom?"
Thanks to you, I had a great day.
Go on and rest.
- Come in, Min Young. - "Min Young?"
Mom.
Come with me.
- Yes? - I'm not sure.
Please?
It's the second-floor guy.
This is my aunt.
- What? - You saw her at the hospital.
This person is your aunt?
Yes. Aunt Min Young.
You people...
What are you doing?
Nam Tae Hyung.
Are you really Woo Min Young?
I asked you.
Are you really Woo Min Young?
(The Secret House)
That makes no sense!
Once I become CEO,
I'll fire you right away.
You have lots of questions, don't you?
Is it too hard to tell me now?
Did you see a ghost?
I told you to stay at home.
For how long?
I came to say goodbye one last time.
I hope you get well.
She won't do anything stupid tomorrow, will she?
Tae Hee won't come.
Jin Ho, it's me. I'll explain later. Look into it right now.
Tae Hee!
