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.
So,
is what Tae Hyung is saying true?
Were you blinded enough...
to use Tae Hyung's identity just to become rich?
Why won't you answer?
I'm not exactly sure,
but I can tell for sure that...
the person who compiled this is trying to slander Tae Hyung and me.
What?
I did it to benefit the company,
but if it was wrong of me to take out loans without you knowing,
I apologize.
I took out the loans to develop new material...
and expand WIDE even more.
It was my judgment call as the CEO.
You know better than anyone...
just how much I love my son.
Would I use his identity to create...
a shell company?
That's ridiculous.
So,
neither Tae Hyung nor you...
have anything to do with Jin Capital?
Then why did the puppet CEO based in Hong Kong...
give up Tae Hyung's name?
Are you making this fuss because someone mentioned a name?
If you look up our company online,
my name and his appear right away.
Anyone can do anything with a name,
even in Africa, let alone Hong Kong.
You can never find out who's behind...
the puppet CEO even if you tried.
You said exactly what I thought you would.
What?
Don't treat me like I've lost my touch!
Call Mr. Kim the lawyer tomorrow.
Have him request an investigation.
Whose idea all this was,
the court will find out.
The shareholder meeting is coming up.
Because of Ji Hwan and Tae Hee's scandal,
our shares have been falling even today.
Must you add embezzlement...
and dereliction of duty to that?
We must get to the bottom of this because the meeting is coming up.
Regardless of who started it,
it's true that someone here has been embezzling.
Shut your mouth.
To avoid being charged...
for neglectful management or covering up the fact,
we must request an investigation now.
- Woo Ji Hwan. - That's our best option.
You must know very well.
I said I could manage. Why did you follow me upstairs?
I thought we'd both go down if I didn't react that way.
I thought I had to survive...
to find a way out for us both.
Good for you.
I'd do it again if we were put in the same situation.
I said good for you.
What wouldn't a mom do to save her son?
I had and raised you thinking I wouldn't care...
if I had to walk into a fire.
Putting the blame on me?
Do that all you want. You can do even worse.
Call Hong Kong and get the CEO to keep quiet.
I'll sort out the rest with Mr. Kim, so don't worry.
The senior managing director?
I only signed the papers for the loans and purchases.
Mr. Kim did the embezzling.
And he used our identities. to create the shell company.
I will compensate him more than enough for it.
He can reap the benefits...
after he does a few years.
Even worse could happen to us.
You must not get weak.
Until WIDE is yours alone, you must keep forging ahead.
I will back you up. Okay?
I knew she was no pushover,
but she came up with an excuse...
even when faced with proof?
She's really something.
What is she thinking? Does she have a way out?
She'll put the blame on the person developing new materials.
Head of Development?
Someone higher up.
"They requested new materials,"
"so I only approved the purchases."
"But the person in charge created a shell company..."
"to embezzle, and I didn't see it coming."
That's what Ms. Ham will say.
You're right.
She'd thought of what to say in case she got caught.
Will she get out again?
No.
That would only work if there was no shareholder meeting.
I must start tracking Mr. Yang's 300,000 shares...
she couldn't explain today.
The person who benefits the most...
will have come up with this idea.
What should I do, then?
For a while,
watch the team that's working on developing new materials.
Ham Sook Jin is bound to contact one of them.
Okay.
We'll use this to deal her a nasty blow.
Once we figure out what she did to your father,
she won't be able to escape then.
I'll text you the address.
Let's discuss the details tomorrow, Mr. Kim.
You will like the gift I'll bring.
You won't regret anything.
Bye.
That's him taken care of.
Fill in the blanks and sign it.
The 300,000 WIDE shares that are in your name.
That document says you'll hand over the voting rights to me.
What? Did you suddenly get greedy?
No.
Then sign it already.
That will save us all.
Will the three of us sleep together tonight?
You don't want to?
I do. It will be so much fun.
I love sleeping with grannies.
Shall I show you something better?
Yes, please.
Then lie down on the bed.
- Lie down? - Yes, on this.
Let's see.
There.
How's that? Doesn't it feel nice?
Wow. This is nice.
Does it feel like your stress is being lifted away?
Yes.
Even when I can't sleep,
a few minutes of this massage makes me drift away.
Granny's smiling. She must really like it.
I guess she does.
Ju Hong bought this for me.
Because her dad and I felt tired after working all day.
She said we shouldn't let fatigue pile up.
Right.
He was so pleased when Ju Hong got this for us.
He didn't get to sleep in this bed that much.
Don't cry, Ms. Sim.
You're right. I shouldn't cry.
I must stay strong and cheerful.
This is so nice.
Isn't it? You can visit often.
Okay.
(Prosecutor's Office)
What are you doing here?
I heard you'd be questioned today, so I came over first.
I thought the prosecutor should know the facts.
What facts?
You tried to take my dad off the ventilator,
and you stole his taped confession.
Are you crazy?
You went and told the prosecutor that?
I told him they are issues he should cover.
You'd better be prepared.
Do you want to go away for libel?
Why did you come here to tell the prosecutor what I didn't do?
Fortunately, the prosecutor...
knows exactly what happened.
That's great to hear.
I can't wait until he finds out I'm not guilty.
Give up hope of that.
Go on inside.
You'll see what I mean.
I don't know what else you said,
but the truth will come out.
I hope so.
We have known each other since we were young.
I hope you don't get any additional charges for lying.
Please help her avoid that.
Ms. Baek who just left told me that...
you stole the video of her father's taped confession.
What video?
I never did such a thing.
Then what's this about...
her finding the flash drive and camcorder in your room?
That's true.
Baek Ju Hong trespassed, entered my bedroom,
and stole a flash drive and camcorder.
Also on the flash drive were our company's PR files.
Why didn't you report that someone had stolen company information?
Because...
Ms. Baek had been going through a rough time.
So I didn't make a fuss about it.
Was the camcorder company property or...
It wasn't company property.
If it was yours, when did you purchase it?
Can you submit proof of purchase?
Well...
I paid for it with cash.
Where did you buy it?
I'll send an investigator to confirm.
Well...
I don't think this issue is connected to the case at hand.
Your client's statement clashes with the victim's daughter's.
I need to check the facts.
It will also help prove how honest you're being with me.
Can I speak with my client in private?
Sure.
You took loans out on company-owned properties...
and siphoned it all to Jin Capital. Was it you, Tae Hyung?
It was Ji Hwan.
He went digging...
and brainwashed Grandpa.
You've been drinking a lot lately.
I don't know what it's about,
but if you drink whenever you're stressed out...
What? Does Ji Hwan not do that?
Whatever he's going through, he stays sober and stoic...
and survives,
but I'm weak?
Is that what you're saying?
What do you mean?
If that's not it...
Do you enjoy belittling me every now and then?
What are you saying?
You don't know what it's about?
Do you even want to know...
what I'm going through?
- Do you even care? - Tae Hyung.
You're so nice to Ji Hwan.
You do anything and everything for him!
That's driving me insane.
- Stop it. - Stop what?
How long did you think I'd be your puppet?
Talk when you're sober.
Are you going off to see Ji Hwan?
Are you out of your mind? How can you say that?
Don't go too far.
You're still mine.
Even if the skies fall, you'll never be Ji Hwan's.
Dream on.
If you're upset with me, say so.
Don't blame the innocent.
You're defending him even now?
Stop being so insistent. I've had enough.
Where are you going?
Get off me.
Darn it!
Yes, Tae Hyung. Suffer.
Fall even further.
Tae Hyung, Tae Hee, Ham Sook Jin.
I will watch you...
as you all go down.
What do you say?
I will hire five or six skilled lawyers for you.
That should make your sentence even shorter.
Consider it a holiday that will last a few years.
Not only do you get back what you lost on cryptocurrency,
but you can afford a new house too.
And more than anything, your daughter who's studying abroad.
She can finish her degree without having to worry about fees.
This means I must let down the chairman who was good to me.
I can't do it.
I see.
Then your sick elderly mother will become homeless too.
Don't you have to move very soon?
I will give you an extra 50 percent of the amount I just offered.
Then...
I expect you to give me my job back when I return.
That's a given.
I will have an even better job waiting for you.
Very well, then. I'll do it.
Thanks for sparing your time this morning.
I'm glad it was worth staying up, worrying about the details.
Are you just coming in?
- Hello. - I was on and off,
and I kept missing you. I wanted to say thank you.
I had no idea you were the chairman's grandson.
I hope you'll look out for me.
Gosh, please.
Your life took a great turn for the better. Congratulations.
I guess...
I'm surprised.
What about?
I thought you wouldn't last a week.
Oh, you mean here?
I almost did not last.
I should've taken the 300,000 dollars Nam Tae Hyung offered.
I lost out on a great deal.
Nam Tae Hyung?
I should've boarded that plane to Manila yesterday.
I turned him down thinking I could get him to pay me more.
But it didn't work out.
There's no way around it now,
so I'm looking for another option.
(CEO Ham Sook Jin)
He'll request an official investigation?
The old fool.
What do you think?
Even if you get Mr. Kim to take the fall,
it won't go away easily.
You can go.
What do you want?
Is the article true?
Whether it is or not has nothing to do with you.
Will you stay out of it?
How can I stay out of it when my husband is involved?
Why do you suddenly care when you thought nothing of him?
Is something going on with him?
- Something the article didn't cover. - What?
He has been drinking every day, and he's getting more violent.
That's because of you.
You and Ji Hwan whisper around the house.
Why wouldn't he be upset?
A few days ago, you called me saying...
you couldn't reach Tae Hyung all day.
- So what? - I think you know what's going on.
As if I do.
And what are you doing this for,
as if you're trying to upset him?
My husband's spiraling.
I don't think I should just watch.
What?
What Tae Hyung is going through.
I will find out.
Baek Ju Hong.
You must be busy manipulating the media.
Sorry, I wasted your time.
I'll leave, hoping you got the message.
She's not helping at all.
- I enjoyed our lunch. - Sure.
I did too.
I read that WIDE will be investigated.
Was I of some help?
You were. You're the one who got the ball rolling.
You're embarrassing me.
I know you've already done the research.
Not at all. You were a great help.
Let's quit with the boring talk.
I bought some clothes because I heard Sol will start school soon.
I also got your mother sketchbooks, crayons, and coloring pencils.
Gosh.
I don't know if I should accept these.
You can. I'm gifting them instead of Min Young.
Wouldn't she have gotten nicer things if she were around?
Do you not like what I got?
It's not that.
Why did you make that face, then?
Well...
Could you...
There was a huge ruckus yesterday,
and today the company might be searched,
but he applied to have a mat installed for Sol?
Does he think more of Sol than he does me?
Is that it?
I like how thorough they are.
Yes, they are thorough.
The second-floor living area looks so much brighter.
Sol will be pleased to see it.
I should tell her to run about all she wants.
Yes.
You want me to pretend to be Min Young?
I know it's a huge ask.
I get that. But just this once,
can you pretend for my mother and Sol...
No!
It won't end with just one appearance.
What if they realize the truth?
Wouldn't that hurt them even more?
Is the chairman all right?
The company's in an uproar.
(Prosecutors Investigate WIDE for Embezzlement)
(Manager Nam Tae Hee)
(CEO Ham Sook Jin)
Grandfather requested an investigation.
Illegal purchases of shares...
and establishment of a shell company.
Good for you.
What is it you want to say?
Now that we know Tae Hyung isn't a real Nam descendant,
that means Ji Hwan is the sole heir.
You must be so stressed out.
What can I do to help?
As if you can help.
Before you get yourself hurt,
go back to your seat and work.
I can't do that.
Give me your CEO title.
Give you what?
Grandfather.
Why didn't you call?
You'd meet me downstairs if I did,
and that would be a bother.
So I came upstairs on my own.
What brings you here?
I decided to drop by in case things at the company...
got a little too out of hand.
How are the staff doing?
There was a little unrest when they first heard the news,
but the consensus is that they'll see what the police conclude.
Okay, good. That's a relief.
Let's go see your mother.
What for?
To finish yesterday's discussion.
If they conclude Tae Hyung was involved too,
he won't be eligible to become CEO.
I should take over for you at least.
You're being a tad arrogant. Get out.
I'll respect you as the former CEO.
I'll sit behind that desk, but I'll respect your wishes...
I told you to get out.
If you refuse,
I'll have to tell Grandpa who Lee Dong Cheol is.
You'll what?
You had another man's child and said she was adopted.
Then there's Tae Hyung.
What would Grandpa do to Tae Hyung if he were to find out?
Father.
What are you saying I should know?
What about your brother?
Grandpa.
You said I'll do something to Tae Hyung if I know.
Why won't you tell me?
