(Episode 92)
Father. This is...
Who is this man?
Do you know him?
- Grandfather. - Do you know him?
You talked to him for a while.
And then...
you attacked him first.
Why can't you answer?
I asked if you knew him.
I'm not sure how this will sound,
but he might not be Tae Hyung's acquaintance.
I wonder if he's someone Mother knows.
Who?
What are you talking about?
Yesterday, Mother called me to say she'd reached the hospital,
and I'd gone out to see her.
I happened to see her argue with this man.
That was because he was the fool who'd hurt my son.
How did you know he was the man...
Tae Hyung had fought?
- What? - It's not like...
you were outside and you saw the fight.
Like Ju Hong said, unless you know the man...
Let me explain, Grandfather.
This man is my acquaintance.
I met him as a suspect when I was a prosecutor.
He'd committed a serious economic crime,
so I requested a hefty sentence.
The judge honored my request.
He'd kept a grudge all this time and had come to see me.
Then how did your mother know him?
He'd come to the office.
As if beating up Tae Hyung hadn't been enough,
he'd come to the ER, and I just couldn't stand it.
I'd have loved to send him back to prison if I could.
Then we must report him immediately.
We can't let a lowlife like him go free.
I already reported him.
The investigation is ongoing. Police will find him soon.
Don't worry too much.
What were you thinking?
Why did you get Mother in trouble in front of my grandfather?
- Don't say that. - Don't pretend to be clueless.
You jumped at the chance.
He called Mother by her given name.
And she slapped him on the face.
If I'd really wanted to get Mother in trouble,
I'd have told your grandfather all that too.
What's going on? What is it about that...
Let's forget about it.
I'm really worried for you.
I don't like seeing you get hurt.
If it's Mother's fault that you keep getting hurt,
I'm sorry, but I'll keep getting involved just like today.
Don't you need to get back to your office?
I do.
Grandfather.
There's something I'd like to ask you.
Okay.
Well...
What is it about that you just can't bring it up?
If...
Yes?
If there's a very important event in your life,
but knowing about it would cause you much pain,
do you think you'd want to know about it?
Perhaps, if it only causes me pain.
But if...
it would affect the company and you,
I think...
I'd not want to know about it.
The most important part of my life...
was finding you, and I am satisfied with that.
I hope our family doesn't have to suffer anymore.
After the shareholder meeting,
the company must go back to normal too.
I've lived a long life.
Some things...
are a blessing if you can get away with not knowing about them.
So, why would you...
suddenly ask me that?
Is there an actual problem?
No, Grandfather.
I just wanted to know how you think...
whenever something big comes up.
Grab Lee Dong Cheol when he shows up.
Okay.
The doors are closing.
Quit your stupid tricks, Dong Cheol.
Nothing you do will work now, okay?
The chairman didn't catch on.
It'll blow over.
Nothing will happen.
Is Tae Hyung home?
I'll see just how long you can ignore me for.
Tae Hee?
Yes. She bought 200,000 shares yesterday.
I thought Mr. Choi would've told you.
Did you hear about the shares I bought?
Where did you get the money from?
A CEO-wannabe should have that much money on hand.
Do you think owning shares will make you a CEO?
"Forget about people and collect cash and shares."
That's what you told me to do.
I've decided to make myself my priority.
I'll gain power...
so no one can look down on me and everyone will want me.
As if 200,000 shares gives you that much power.
Who knows?
If you're about to be dismissed because you're short by 200,000 shares,
you might have to grovel to me for help.
Buy all you want.
It looks like you're begging to take my side.
I'll think about it.
I'm saying whose side I will take...
depends on your actions.
You've lost your touch.
What are you so deep in thought about?
Oh, I apologize.
Is something bothering you?
Why? Is it because Wei Huang vanished?
No. I expected as much.
Even so, you'd still be disappointed.
It would've been nice to expose the shell company...
and get rid of Ham Sook Jin and Nam Tae Hyung at once.
That looks unlikely now.
Will the shares I own...
be too little to get Ham Sook Jin dismissed?
Not at all. It'll be a great help.
Then how about I help out a little more while I'm at it?
Tae Hyung asked to meet.
I agreed.
I'll act like I'm interested in his offer.
You'll do that?
That day,
back at the hotel after meeting Sol and your mom.
I couldn't sleep.
I got so angry with the people who had harassed such good folk.
I also realized Min Young...
died on Sol's birthday.
If Tae Hyung was involved, I can't forgive him.
I'll follow him to the end of the earth to make him pay.
You must be careful.
Don't worry.
You might not have noticed them,
but even now, many people are guarding me.
You act like...
everything is so clear-cut.
Like what?
Everything.
When you make a decision, you don't think twice.
You forge right ahead, and I envy that.
I find it so hard to make any kind of decision.
Shall I tell you why it's hard?
It's because you're a good person.
No way. I'm not a good person.
That's what you think.
You can't change or hide who you are.
If you feel confused, just go with it for a while.
If you weigh your options,
don't you think your heart...
will lean toward one side?
By the way,
I'd like to treat your mom and Sol to a meal.
Will you arrange it for me?
You'll treat my mom and Sol?
You're finally cheering up.
Oh...
What's that?
I heard you got hurt.
Granny and I made it until late last night.
I drew this.
Get well soon, and don't get hurt again.
Don't get hurt.
Tae Hyung.
See you later.
He's not angry, is he?
No, I don't think he is.
Thank you, Sol. I'll put it somewhere safe in our room.
I think he was pleased inside.
Yes, he's pleased.
- Right, Granny? - He's pleased.
Some guys in my class are like that.
They pout when they're really pleased, so I know what it's like.
What? He's home already?
Yes. He'll see the doctor as an outpatient.
I seasoned some vegetables and stir-fried anchovies...
to bring to the hospital for him to eat.
Hospital food is bland,
so I thought something home cooked would be nicer.
You didn't have to do that at all.
It's fine. Jin Ho and I can eat it.
You work the night shift today, right?
- Yes. - This food might go to waste.
Why not come for dinner?
- Right now? - You might as well.
Eat Mom's food and have a nap.
Well...
Shall I do that, then?
I told you to rest at home.
Do you have a headache? Or muscle pains?
- What if I do? - What is it now?
It ended well. What are you upset about?
Do you think it was Grandpa's idea to check the cameras by the gate?
It was all Ji Hwan and you want me to rest at home?
Ji Hwan can do what he wants. He's as good as done for.
Why are you worried when I'll take care of him?
What will you do now?
Will you meet Lee Dong Cheol again?
I must, and make sure he never does this again.
Don't call him or see him.
Don't even think of doing anything to him.
What are you thinking? I told you to stay out of it.
Do as I say.
What if Grandfather sees you with him?
Who knows what Ji Hwan will use that to do?
- What? - Do you think it's just him?
What about Ju Hong?
Lee Dong Cheol called you by your given name...
and then you slapped him.
She saw all that and it shows you're not just acquaintances.
Did she say that? Did she tell you all that?
Do you think that is what's important?
You should thank her for keeping quiet in front of Grandpa.
I won't say this again. Do as I say.
What a brat.
What did Ju Hong tell him that got him so worked up?
I should just...
Your daughter can no longer come home to mine and that's final.
What does that mean?
How dare you barge in and talk like that?
You're complaining when you did a dreadful job of educating her?
She caused all sorts of trouble...
and now she got between me and my son.
You don't know the facts.
- How dare you? - I won't repeat myself.
Our kids are splitting up and that's it.
I don't think so.
Is this where you work?
You've become a habitual liar.
I'm on the night shift tonight.
You saw me earlier at home.
Since you're here to rest,
you might as well rest here for good.
I even brought all your belongings.
Is Tae Hyung up for it too?
What I want is what Tae Hyung wants.
Okay. If it's what Tae Hyung wants, I'll have to think about it.
- What? - Ju Hong.
I'll talk to Tae Hyung about it myself.
Whether I come home or not...
is a decision I must make with my husband.
You met Lee Dong Cheol as a suspect when you were a prosecutor?
You and I both know that's not true.
- So what? - How long will you dupe Grandpa for?
Would you have said the truth? If he were your mom's old lover?
Do you think that would benefit Grandpa?
- That's not the whole truth. - What do you mean?
You must know what you're hiding from Grandfather.
What?
Are you afraid you'll lose your director position?
Or are you afraid you'll get kicked out?
What do you mean?
If you have stuff to protect, do so by playing fair.
Don't spew lie after lie.
Think wisely.
I'm giving you a chance out of hope you'll be a decent person.
Does Ji Hwan know something?
He can't know who Lee Dong Cheol is,
can he?
Hey.
What are you going to hand over this time?
Did you think either I or Tae Hyung would get into trouble...
if you showed the old man the surveillance footage?
You must be so disappointed you didn't get your way.
No. It's too early to be disappointed yet.
Grandfather still wishes to know about Lee Dong Cheol,
so I plan to arrange a meeting.
Grandfather has a right to know the truth.
I won't let you...
play with or mock Grandfather any longer.
Do as you wish.
I just hope the truth doesn't backfire on you or the chairman.
That would be a pity.
We'll find out about that.
Goodbye, then.
(Son)
Ji Hwan's planning to introduce Lee Dong Cheol to your grandfather.
Were you aware of this?
He'll meet Grandpa?
You didn't even know that and you wanted me to do nothing?
(Prosecutor's Office)
- Hi. - Hello, Prosecutor Nam.
Don't call me that. I'm no longer a prosecutor.
What newlywed has a black eye?
I heard you'd moved to Violent Crimes. Is this your new office?
It's nothing serious.
I got a little injured and was in the hospital for a couple of days.
You got hurt? Then you should've stayed longer.
Why torture myself in there when my wife's a doctor?
Oh, that's right.
- Are you bragging about it? - You bet I am.
Why are you alone? Where's your staff?
My investigator's helping out on another case.
I see.
Do you not serve your guests anything?
- My throat's... - Wait here.
Okay.
Evening of August 18.
Illegal gambling ring.
(Crackdown on illegal gambling ring)
Coffee?
I won't permit you to use my grandfather...
to get Ham Sook Jin or Nam Tae Hyung to pay up.
Weren't we on the same side?
You gave me a uniform to stick close to Sook Jin.
I thought that made us allies.
If you want to keep that job,
lie low and don't cause any more trouble.
You think you have something on me...
because you saved me from going far out to sea.
If you suddenly show up just to boss me about,
I won't take it.
You barely got out on parole.
If you get sued for assault,
you know that means an aggravated charge, right?
I do.
I thought about it,
and it would be really something if Sook Jin were to report me.
I could tell the police...
the gory details about our relationship.
I could see to it that Sook Jin gets royally humiliated.
Do you think Ms. Ham will sit and do nothing...
while you try to pull that trick on her?
She won't, will she?
Unless you want to go back to prison,
you'd better do as I say.
This is a mess.
I can't cause any more trouble?
He should pay me if he wants me to do that.
To what do I owe the call, Director Nam?
Am I free? Yes, I am.
Do you want an apology?
You look just fine.
Promise me just one thing.
What? That I stay away from the chairman and the company?
Why is everyone saying the same thing?
Here is 100,000 dollars.
Now if you'd paid me off...
when I offered to take the evening flight,
neither of us would've had to throw punches.
The remaining 200,000 dollars...
will be paid a month from now...
as long as you cause no more problems.
I'd prefer to be paid at one time, but one month?
I can wait that long.
If you go back on the deal and visit my mom or her office...
I won't do...
That might leave a scar.
Thanks for the money.
I'm paying you off for giving me life.
I'll send you to a place that suits you best.
Don't dream of coming back.
He just left with the money.
Drop the hint at the right time.
Make sure he reaches the gambling den on time.
I'll pay you...
the moment Lee Dong Cheol is taken in.
Oh? Kim Cheol Soo?
Why is he calling me?
Hello, brother. What's up?
A gambling den?
What are the stakes?
Oh, 2,000?
I have that much.
How about the players?
Okay, brother. What time and where?
What did you do in Grandpa's study?
Granny and I checked out his books.
Grandfather said we could.
Oh, I see.
All his books are too difficult and none are for me.
Really?
Where is he?
The chairman went to bed early.
I'll see him in the morning, then.
Wait, Mr. Seolleongtang Lawyer.
Yes?
What is this, Granny?
This is my Chan Woo.
What?
Ms. Ham...
packed all of Dr. Baek's things and took them somewhere.
She was furious,
and she packed all of Dr. Baek's things...
Why are you telling my husband that?
You startled me.
Do you even think?
I just thought that I should...
tell someone that Ms. Ham...
had taken Dr. Baek's things with her.
What were you saying?
My mother took Ju Hong's things?
Come with me.
Sure, Ms. Nam.
Hello? Nam Tae Hyung speaking.
So?
You lost him?
- Hello? - Nam Tae Hyung!
You sold me out?
What are you talking about? Where are you?
You better be prepared.
I'll make you pay for this.
Is something wrong?
That sounded like Lee Dong Cheol.
Don't be stupid.
Is he in trouble?
Stay out of it. Why do you care anyway?
You're right. It's none of my business.
But it is yours.
Shouldn't you help him if he's in trouble?
You are...
his son.
We don't share a father.
What?
- What did you just say? - Your father...
is Lee Dong Cheol.
(The Secret House)
I will find out why Nam Tae Hyung wants me gone this badly.
Ji Hwan knows.
What do you mean? How could he know that?
If I don't tell Grandpa by tomorrow,
he will. What should I do?
What's that?
- Chan Woo had pretty handwriting. - Handwriting?
What are you doing in my home?
I have something important to tell you.
I will resign as CEO.
I'll do as you wish and resign.
