(Episode 38)
- Hello, sir. - Where?
Where is my money leaking?
Let's go up to Ms. Ham's office.
- Where? - You'll see when you get there.
If you're plotting something,
you'll pay for it.
Going up.
Sir. Before you enter,
will you listen to a recording?
A recording?
I have something worth quite a lot.
Dashcam footage from that day.
Let's use that...
to get 500,000 dollars and halve it.
Or shall we ask for a million and keep 500,000 each?
Stop!
The chairman has been powerless for a long time.
I've been manipulating him for ages.
What do you think you can show him?
So, because I'm a powerless old man,
you bought that fool...
and toyed with me?
No, Father.
I really didn't do anything. You're mistaken.
Aren't you the one who actually caught the serial killer?
Will you just let it go...
when you have a witness right here?
Will you say something, Ms. Ham?
I really had no idea, Father.
I just... Yes, I just took him for his word.
You...
Since when did you believe others?
Oh, this is...
He demanded to be paid for his efforts,
so I was going to give it to him to silence him.
This much money?
(Non-disclosure Agreement)
Wait.
What's this contract?
What have you been getting up to in here?
Father, you can't just let it go.
It was Ji Hwan who leaked the video.
Focus on that.
Did you send it to the media?
Whatever I say,
you won't believe me.
See, Father?
I didn't toy with you. Ji Hwan did.
Then bring me proof!
My goodness. Do you really think...
he wants to marry Tae Hee because he loves her?
He said it's for his daughter.
You and I both heard that.
It's not about that.
He's doing this to avenge his mother.
Sure. Go ahead and say that.
If it's not about that, what is it about, then?
Money.
He's after your money.
Father, if it's not about that,
why would he suddenly ditch Ju Hong...
whom he was dating just fine?
This is a prenup.
What? A prenup?
It says I will not demand or claim your home, money, property,
or any other asset you may have.
Is this enough to prove how I feel about Tae Hee?
(Prenuptial Agreement)
This is just insane.
He can't marry Ju Hong, whatever happens.
You must know very well why not.
What is it that Mom knows?
We have no intention of getting involved with you, so leave.
Quit talking pointless nonsense and get out.
There has to be another reason he's trying so hard...
to push me away.
Mr. Nam.
Darn it.
What happened?
How did you ruin it so badly?
Who'd have thought he'd bring your grandfather here?
What did he say?
That's the least of our problems.
Ji Hwan...
showed your grandfather a prenuptial agreement.
A what?
It says he won't claim a dime of his assets.
What do you think the money-crazed old man thought?
Are you saying Grandpa's on Ji Hwan's side now?
Not at all. I won't let that happen.
How will we stop him now?
However hard I think,
we have to get rid of the root cause.
The root cause?
You're lucky you have a habit of...
pressing the record button whenever a client comes in.
They almost got you.
When did you sign a prenup anyway?
Money is most important to the chairman.
It is, so of course, you should say you don't want any.
You're smart.
Can you and the ward office manage tomorrow's event okay?
Yes. About 100 senior citizens will be there.
Okay.
I set it up because you told me to,
but why do you want to give out freebies at a time like this?
I need to force Ms. Ham to accept me.
If you appear in the news,
she'll have no reason not to?
I have to go to Sol.
Oh, right.
About Sol.
Did you take her home?
The thing is...
I'm outside your place. Where are you?
Is Sol okay?
I see, you wanted sausages and rice cakes?
Yes, but Dad says I should eat what's good for me,
and never bought me that.
I'm sorry I messed up.
It can be our secret.
You're right.
Let's not tell anyone we had one today.
- Okay. - Let's go.
Hi, Sol.
Hello.
I waited for you for a long time.
She came to the ER with a fever.
Did you?
That must've been tough.
Are you okay now?
Let's go inside and have some fruit.
I bought some nice fruits for you.
Yes, Sol. Fruit boosts your immune system.
- Go home and have some. - What about you?
I have an early shift tomorrow.
I need to go home.
Go home, Sol. See you.
We keep crossing paths and it makes me think...
fate's still on our side.
I said I called Jin Ho.
Sol wanted me to take her and I wanted to.
Why do you keep confusing her when I told you not to?
Can't you just thank me?
Don't do this again.
Bye.
Tae Hee took her inside.
She was waiting by the gate.
Sol was reluctant but...
I left saying I was busy.
- Good. - Are you sure?
I could feel Sol's stare.
I felt terrible that we adults are putting her through this.
It's fine.
- So don't worry. - Ji Hwan.
This will be the last time we discuss this.
What does that mean?
You know very well what it means.
You're just on time.
We were just about to have dinner.
This late?
Because we only get to eat after we close up.
Wash your hands. The soybean stew turned out nice.
Soybean stew?
I don't have an appetite.
I said we should have a few rice cakes...
and you cooked?
It's not like we eat 4 or 5 times a day.
We eat just three meals and you want rice cakes?
Food is a huge part of life.
Okay, fine. Let's eat.
Dad. How about some soju?
Soju?
Why? Is something wrong?
Soybean stew makes me want to drink.
Really?
I'd love that.
Let's see. Where did we put the soju?
Aren't we lucky to have a daughter?
He hasn't smiled in a while.
It's nice and ripe. Try it.
Do I make you feel uncomfortable?
I want us to get close.
What's your favorite color?
I want to decorate your new room.
I have a room here.
Yes, you do,
but we decided to live together.
Can't you open up to me, Sol?
Sol.
- Dad. - Hello.
- Were you having some fruit? - Yes.
But I'm tired and want to sleep.
Do you? Will you wash and go to bed, then?
Yes.
I won't rush her. I'll take my time.
Okay.
What on earth happened...
that they're all so serious?
The chairman can't lend money to just anyone.
He's not losing wads of cash whenever he goes out, is he?
His money will be mine one day.
Try to understand why she did what she did.
Anyone would think Ji Hwan married Tae Hee...
with an ulterior motive.
It's only natural for Mom to do anything to stop them.
This is when you must keep your head on straight.
She let herself get duped by fraud...
and caused a huge fuss.
Do you think I made you CEO...
to spend money as you wish?
Don't fall for the tricks of just anyone...
and marry them off.
- Father. - Didn't you see the prenup?
Do you believe that?
I don't.
You trusted a fraud,
but you won't trust a notarized document?
You need to stand your ground.
Why are you yourself falling for Ji Hwan's tricks?
What tricks?
He's doing this to win you over. Don't you see that?
Then he got me right.
Grandfather.
Don't you think, Tae Hyung?
An outsider...
promised not to come after my money.
What could please me more than that?
I might as well say this again.
I won't accept him as a son-in-law.
If you won't accept him,
will you let him give up his seat in the National Assembly?
Why would you say that?
After all we did to get him elected?
That's why the only answer is to accept Ji Hwan.
What?
I won't go home.
What do you mean?
After the taxi driver incident,
I have a feeling my mother might do something.
- What... - It won't end with...
locking me in a hospital room.
That's what I think.
I'll spend the night here, and then go to work before Sol wakes.
No.
I'll sleep in my office. Sleep in my room.
You'll go to your office?
Yes. I have stuff to sort out anyway.
Let's do that.
Any fool who makes my daughter cry,
I will tell off and put in his place.
Tell him to be prepared.
The little thing's all grown up...
and experiencing the sweet and sour of life.
You used Ju Hong as an excuse to drink yourself silly.
Forget about him and focus on your job.
People betray you but hard work doesn't.
You always get paid for your efforts.
You know that, and you still became a gambler...
and lost our store and home?
Who doesn't make a mistake or two?
It's only a mistake if it happens once.
How is it a mistake if it happens several times?
That's my signal to leave the table.
- Excuse me. - Seriously?
He runs off whenever he's out of excuses.
You look happy.
Don't be silly.
If you're done, go to bed.
Let me finish the bottle.
Don't.
Only drink when you're in a good mood.
Alcohol's a poison if you're in a bad mood.
Go on to your room.
Yes.
Let's forget about it all and work.
Let's just work.
I'll forget all about Ji Hwan...
and focus on my career.
I could feel Sol's stare.
I felt terrible that we adults are putting her through this.
What?
She didn't come home...
and you all slept soundly?
Sorry, Father.
The new employees come in to say hello tomorrow.
Why did Ms. Nam sleep elsewhere...
without calling, knowing it would stress out the chairman?
Go on. Call Tae Hee right now.
I sent Mr. Yang to find her.
We'll hear from him soon.
What's the matter?
Ms. Nam didn't come home last night.
Do you know anything?
She didn't come home?
Did you find her?
She's at Ji Hwan's?
He's the lawyer who yelled at Ms. Ham whenever he was here.
- Ms. Nam's fiance. - You're right.
Ms. Ham couldn't stand him.
How did she let them marry?
There must be a secret if she ended up accepting him.
A secret? What kind of secret?
How have you all been?
Ms. Nam. You cut your hair.
Are you better now?
I am, thank you.
I left you alone for too long.
It's fine, and I'm glad to see you doing well.
You must all be curious about my wedding.
I'll arrange something.
You should meet my husband.
You're married already?
There won't be a ceremony.
I don't care for something that everyone else does.
Bring the papers you need me to sign.
Ms. Nam, come to my office.
What for? I have a lot to do.
The root cause?
Ji Hwan can do what he wants,
but he can't get married on his own.
It's not like...
we can send Tae Hee somewhere.
We can. We have a basement.
She should've gone to the US when she was told to.
A weird article appeared.
- What weird article? - Take a look.
What is this?
There's an event I don't know about?
In my name?
"Lawyer Woo Ji Hwan?"
"To celebrate Nam Tae Hyung being elected,"
"lawyer Woo Ji Hwan..."
"offered to treat elderly people who live alone to seolleongtang."
"His unusual prenuptial agreement is also causing a stir."
(CEO Ham Sook Jin)
That punk.
Can we have more kkakdugi?
Sure, I'll bring some over.
Can I have more broth?
Of course you can. Anything you want.
Three large bowls.
Three large bowls. Thank you.
- Get out of there now. - I'm a bit busy.
Can you please wait?
What?
Hello, I'm with Connected News.
Can we do an interview?
Yes, but give me a moment.
Some people are waiting for their food.
Oh, I see. We'll wait.
Aren't you Ms. Ham Sook Jin, WIDE's CEO?
What? Oh, yes, that's me.
You must visit your future son-in-law's diner often.
Well, yes, I guess.
- Did you enjoy lunch? - I've been having salads.
- That's so boring. - I know.
Oh, right.
- Did you read that article? - What article?
The prenup.
- The lawyer's prenup? - Yes.
He's doing his best to say he's not marrying her for the money.
- Maybe it's true. - A lawyer?
A prenup?
(To Celebrate Nam Tae Hyung's Election)
(Free seolleongtang for the elderly)
(He won't claim any assets.)
Does he have to go this far?
How cruel.
Did you have to let me find this out?
Do you think I'll accept you because...
you pretend to help Tae Hyung?
I thought about what I could do to help the family.
And fortunately, the response is positive.
What a joke.
You can dupe the whole world but not me.
Ms. Ham.
I'm really trying hard.
Can you stop suspecting me...
and take my sincerity for what it is?
You're sincere? About helping Tae Hyung?
What a hypocrite.
I will do anything to get rid of you.
There's nothing I can't do if it'll get you out of my way.
What are you so afraid of?
There's something you don't know.
I don't fear anything in the world.
I just hate you.
I hate you more than a cockroach, so what can I do...
but crush you with my foot?
It won't be that easy.
Cockroaches...
are much quicker than you think.
Wait and see.
So that you can't walk around me,
I will crush you properly.
Yes. Do all you can.
But you'd better hurry.
Before you crush me, your son...
will weep with regret.
Do it tonight.
When Tae Hee leaves work,
get down to it.
If you fail again, I won't forgive you.
I want Woo Ji Hwan's office shut down.
Pardon?
Look into all the cases he took on as a lawyer.
See if he was corrupt or took bribes.
Find whatever you can.
And the diner he runs on the side.
Find out all you can on the ingredients and permits.
If you need help, hire as many people as you need.
Don't worry about expenses. Just be quick.
Do you understand?
Yes, ma'am.
"Cockroaches are much quicker than you think?"
Okay. Let's see...
how long you last before I crush you.
The new employees will be here soon.
Why are you late?
Sorry. I had something urgent to deal with.
Starting next year,
can you let me attend the interviews?
A blind hiring process is fair,
but not knowing who exactly we're hiring...
Sit down.
Okay.
- Let's begin. - Yes, sir.
- That's... - Hang on.
You...
Hello.
Thank you for hiring me.
My name is Woo Ji Hwan.
(The Secret House)
What are you doing? Are you crazy?
Why do you dislike him so much?
Is there something I don't know about?
Do you want to keep going?
Until we draw blood?
Are you here to ask why my dad hates you so much?
Do you know anything? There has to be another reason.
I'm begging and you just say whatever you want.
Stop crying.
Do you have sleeping pills?
I do, but why do you need them?
