It's not true. You're mistaken.
Do you still say I'm mistaken?
Do you?
You shouldn't have had me.
You should've aborted me.
How dare you give birth to me?
He's not a real Nam either?
Mom.
Did you never have Dad's child?
Where on earth did you hear such nonsense?
What are you on about?
I heard everything Tae Hyung said.
He just said, "How could someone like him be my father?"
I have no time for you. Shut your mouth and get out.
So...
this is the text you got this morning.
He told you to get out.
No. I won't leave until I hear an excuse or an explanation.
- What? - What were you thinking?
Tell me why you did something so crazy.
Both Tae Hyung and I have the right to hear.
Fine.
Neither of you is Nam Chan Woo's offspring.
But so what?
I lived my own life.
Why should I make excuses to you for that?
Do you even know how I thought and felt all my life?
I had you and raised you and neither of you is grateful.
What right do you have to condemn me?
Nam Heung Sik.
He forced me to marry his son in return for preventing...
my father's company from going under.
But once I got married, he changed his mind.
All I had was the empty shell of Chan Woo.
He was of no use to me at all.
And then suddenly...
he demanded a divorce.
What should I have done to survive?
Other than having you two,
what else could I have done?
Are you saying that's your excuse?
You raised us both as impostors.
Why do you act like you're so righteous?
Who cares what family you live with?
You are mine and that's what counts.
You should be grateful to me...
for letting you grow up as grandchildren of WIDE's chairman.
How dare you complain when you did nothing at all?
Do you think you're making sense?
You two can't look at me like that.
Others maybe,
but not you two.
Tae Hyung. You can't do this to me.
Can you?
I'm still your mother...
and you're Chairman Nam's grandson.
That fool Dong Cheol.
Forget all about him and what happened.
Nothing happened to you.
Is it something that can be forgotten?
It's not that hard.
Go back to what you were.
My son and your grandfather's grandson.
Forget it all and think only of yourself.
I'll protect you with my life.
How does this not affect you one bit?
You scare me.
Don't be such a weakling. Don't show your fear.
To get to the top,
you must overcome hardships like this.
Please, Mom.
You are my son.
Nothing can change that.
So Tae Hyung. Please.
Don't get close to Lee Dong Cheol.
He doesn't know anything. If you mess things up,
something bad might happen.
No.
I gave him a plane ticket.
If he gets on the plane tomorrow, I'll give him 300,000 dollars.
What?
I'll do whatever it takes...
to make him leave this country.
What if he doesn't board the plane?
Do you know how many records he has?
He's an expert at sniffing out a payment.
If you offered him 300,000 dollars,
he'll be wracking his brain to see how much more he can get.
Do you think he'll leave that easily?
I saw greed take him over when he saw the cash.
I'll send Mr. Yang to the airport...
to confirm if he gets on the plane.
Don't even think of being there yourself.
What if he's a no-show?
What then?
- We'll just leave him alone. - What?
He got a job at WIDE to try to leech off us.
We just have to give him something.
You must cast a hook when you're ready to catch the prey.
So don't you meet with him anymore.
Okay?
Your father's death note?
I'm sorry for bringing back painful memories.
After talking to you,
I asked to see Professor Jang.
I want to know what happened.
I want to do what I can to get closer to him.
Ji Hwan.
You had a tough life and you've been through so much.
I'm sure that...
your father will want you...
to focus on yourself and live your own life.
Yes, Grandfather. Now I'm back to where I belong.
I never saw his face, but for my father's sake,
I want to do something.
Please.
Let me take a look at his death note.
I'm sorry, Father.
Each morning, the weight of the air around me...
suffocates me.
I hope I'll never wake again,
but my eyes open every morning.
Yet another day I cannot handle bears down on me and I'm terrified.
For your sake, Father,
I tried to go on living,
but I just don't see a future.
"I want to be free of this fear."
"Only death will give wings to my hunched shoulders."
"Forgive your foolish son."
"Please be well, Father."
"I am sorry."
If this is true,
what crushed my father so much?
It's not over yet.
So far, only Tae Hyung knows.
I must get through this.
Just a little longer.
You didn't come to work today.
Now that you're the chairman's grandson,
do you expect me to report to you?
My wish is not to see your face.
Stop staring and go on your way.
About our father.
What?
His face. Do you remember it?
What do you want to say?
You saw his face and took photos with him.
You were young,
but I wondered if you still remember him.
Of course I do.
I remember his voice and his laugh too.
The time that you never got to spend with him,
I did, and I'm bragging about it.
I envy that.
You saw our father alive.
You were closest to him until he died.
I envy that.
Why are you suddenly talking about that?
Hello, Ms. Ham.
You met Director Nam yesterday?
He told me to leave quietly,
but I guess he went and tattled already.
You don't have to leave.
You can keep your job here too.
Not long ago, you tried to sell me to a fishing vessel,
and now you're saying I don't have to leave?
I did that because I didn't want anyone to know...
that we were involved at one time.
But I don't care about that now.
There's nothing more to hide...
and there are no problems.
Then can I go and introduce myself to the chairman?
Go ahead.
Everyone dates before they get married,
and it's not like we had an affair after I got married.
What could the chairman do? Am I wrong?
You can't treat me like this, Sook Jin.
Watch how you address me. It's Ms. Ham the CEO to you.
Congratulations on landing this job.
Work hard and excel.
Good luck.
Salute.
This isn't what I wanted. It got all messed up.
- Mom. - Hi.
Do you start in the afternoon today?
Yes.
You have a job that keeps you busy.
Why do you keep coming by to help me?
Mom.
What?
I heard the chairman came by yesterday.
I asked him not to tell you, but I guess he did.
Why? I should know too.
Say whatever you want. Don't keep it in.
Ask whatever you want to know.
Don't get frustrated by keeping it bottled up.
I was so close...
to demanding the chairman...
send his own granddaughter to prison.
Why didn't you say that? You should have.
He talked about giving me compensation, but I refused.
In case he'd change his tune and say we settled out of court.
He wouldn't do that, but you did the right thing.
What's wrong with Tae Hyung?
His grandfather came by to apologize.
He should be coming every day,
but he tried just a few times and then gave up.
Bear with me.
The prosecutors took over the case.
They'll start subpoenaing people, so...
What about your marriage, then? What about your life?
- Mom. - I don't know anymore.
When I think of your dad,
I want Tae Hee to rot in prison.
But when I think of you who is now married into that family,
I'm not sure if this is right.
I have no idea now.
Darn it.
(CEO Ham Sook Jin)
Why did Tae Hyung suddenly decide to...
compare his DNA to Dong Cheol's?
What did he hear and from whom...
that made him pick out Dong Cheol?
Do you have a few minutes?
I want to ask you something. It won't take long.
I didn't miss the plane on purpose.
It was such an early flight,
and I missed the airport shuttle.
- The plane has flown. - What?
I said it had to be the first flight this morning,
and you chose to ignore the offer.
I didn't ignore it. If you book me an evening flight,
I will leave right away.
The deal was valid only until this morning.
It's equally dark in the early morning and late at night.
Don't be so strict.
I made the offer in case your presence made my mother uncomfortable.
She said it doesn't,
so I have no reason to send you away.
She said that?
Why would she?
She made a huge frown when she saw me this morning.
You don't know what's going on.
You can forget about yesterday's offer.
Wait.
Tae Hyung. Director Nam.
This really is a mess. Where did it go wrong?
He was unable to sleep unless he took a few pills.
But what about it?
Then do you know what kind of sleeping pill...
he was prescribed and...
What game are you trying to play?
Why are you asking me such questions?
I just want to know about my father.
You were the person who was closest to him...
until he died.
Do you think the world is below you because the chairman...
introduced you to the board?
Do you not remember?
What pills did he take?
Don't even try to act out.
For as long as I'm at WIDE,
you will never gain control.
I hope that...
you were different back then.
- What? - The reason...
my late father couldn't sleep without medication.
I hope you weren't it.
Ji Hwan.
(Nam Heung Sik)
Once you finish writing my name and Dad's,
we'll visit Ju Hong's mother.
Okay. I like going there.
So do I.
We'll spend the night there.
Let's pack together after you finish this exercise.
Okay. Let's pack.
You're such a good kid.
I think Sol is more capable than most adults, sir.
She is.
Do you like visiting Ju Hong's mother that much?
- Yes. - What do you like about it?
Ju Hong's mother is really nice to my granny.
She cooks lots of nice things too.
She lives on the first floor too,
so we can run around.
You can run around here as well.
I was told to be quiet.
Here. I'm finished.
Well done, Granny. Shall we go upstairs?
Yes. Let's go upstairs.
Let's go.
Did you tell her not to run about?
No, I did not, sir.
Ms. Ham did when she lived here.
She also told the kid not to leave the room...
if adults were in the kitchen,
and not to go upstairs.
But it does get noisy if they run about when they're upstairs.
You wouldn't know because everyone has grown up now,
but if a kid were to...
run around upstairs, you wouldn't be able to read.
Sir.
It's Mr. Kim the lawyer.
Send him to my study.
Okay.
(CEO Ham Sook Jin)
Let's go to the meeting.
Okay. But wait.
Why did you suddenly test your DNA?
Something must've prompted you to.
- You don't need to know. - I need to know why.
Ji Hwan...
got Ju Hong to access Dad's medical file.
He got what?
I saw Dad's blood type,
- and it was... - Why did he...
Why would he want Chan Woo's medical records?
He must want to know about his dad.
I wonder if my late father often took sleeping pills.
Do you not remember?
What pills did he take?
Does Ji Hwan have doubts about the circumstances of Chan Woo's death?
I'm no expert, Ji Hwan.
But the death note...
does give off vibes that he's determined...
to take his own life.
But just two days before he died,
he called Lee Dong Cheol to say he wanted to...
confirm something and said he'd fly to the Philippines.
It doesn't add up, does it?
What did he want to ask Lee Dong Cheol?
It had to have been about Ham Sook Jin.
Do you have any ideas?
Hello, Grandfather.
This evening?
(CEO Ham Sook Jin)
Grandfather wants you to come home now.
The old man wants me home?
What is he up to?
(Ms. Yoo)
The person you have reached is not...
(Mr. Yang)
The person you have reached is not...
Jeez.
(Son)
Why won't anyone pick up?
Tae Hyung.
Did you really not know...
your mother was buying shares in Mr. Yang's name?
What do you mean?
Mother bought shares in Mr. Yang's name?
What about her creating a company...
called Jin Capital to embezzle company funds?
That can't be true. You must be mistaken.
You know better than anyone what Mom did to expand the company.
She wanted it to grow...
so she could swallow it up.
Someone did this to frame her.
They want to use this to get rid of her at the shareholder meeting.
As soon as the vote for her dismissal was announced on the agenda,
someone bought 300,000 shares in Man Soo's name.
Who could've done that but your mother?
Why would you say that before even asking her about it?
I'll call her.
Put away your phone.
Your mother's on the way here.
We'll find out...
where she got the money...
to buy that many shares.
What are you talking about?
I bought shares?
You set up the company so no one can spend anything without you knowing.
Where would I get that much cash to buy the shares?
That's for you to tell me.
You broke into my safe because you needed three million dollars.
Didn't you?
Where did you get the money to buy the shares?
- Did you use company funds? - What?
I never did such a thing.
This is so unfair.
(Private Investor Purchase Details)
This is...
You took loans out on company-owned properties...
and siphoned it all to Jin Capital!
Do you not see the cash flow?
Must I point it out to you?
This is... There's a mistake.
I don't know about this.
Then was it you, Tae Hyung?
- Grandfather. - Jin Capital's puppet of a CEO...
mentioned your name.
Was this your doing?
Is this how you're using your smarts?
Do you think I made you a director to do this?
Tell me.
What made you do such a terrible thing?
What happened, Mother?
Did you borrow my identity too?
Did you really create a company in my name? Did you?
Tell me. Was it really you?
I can't go down now.
If you want to save me,
take the fall for it all.
(The Secret House)
The prosecutor knows exactly what happened.
Why did you come here to tell the prosecutor what I didn't do?
Don't treat me like I've lost my touch!
- What? - Whose idea this was,
the court will find out.
Fall even further.
Tae Hyung, Tae Hee, Ham Sook Jin.
I will watch you as you all go down.
You want me to pretend to be Min Young?
I know it's a huge ask. I get that.
But just this once...
