(Episode 99)
You will become a senior executive.
Once Tae Hyung is inaugurated as CEO,
I'll have him appoint you right away.
No. there's no way she'll make me a senior executive.
She'll just take my shares and that'll be it.
If I side with Ji Hwan,
I don't think he'll just use me.
Two iced black coffees.
Excuse me?
Oh, thanks.
Listen carefully.
The moment you wake up, the doors to inferno will open.
What could be worse than facing...
the daughter-in-law who killed your son?
Mother.
What was that about?
Did you really do it?
Was Dad... You...
What is it?
Is something wrong?
What are you doing in Grandfather's room?
I have no idea what just happened.
What's the matter?
Why did you drop the coffees as soon as you walked in?
What happened? Were you surprised by something?
What? Oh, no, not at all.
Ms. Ham and Dad.
What did she do?
What did you say you did to Dad?
What are you on about? What did I do?
From what I just heard...
You'll play word games again?
Don't change the topic. I want to know.
It has nothing to do with you.
- Ms. Ham. - I'm leaving.
Tell me.
What did you do to my father?
You know that Nam Chan Woo isn't Tae Hee's birth father.
She asked where I'm hiding her father.
You don't have to get involved too.
- Mother. - Tae Hee, you too.
Do you have to bring that up...
when your grandfather's ill in bed?
And how dare you mention...
your birth father in front of him?
Stop it.
I have to go.
We can't have a shouting match around the old man.
Ms. Ham?
Not just today but starting today,
please do not come by my grandfather's ward.
- What? - Until he wakes...
and speaks for himself,
what you said about him forgiving you,
- I just don't believe it. - Woo Ji Hwan.
Oh, there's one more thing.
Whenever you're lost for words or feel cornered,
you use Tae Hee.
You mention her birth father to try to muddy the waters.
Stop doing that.
You've done more than enough.
What did you say?
This lady here, do not let her enter from now on.
Yes, sir.
Goodbye.
He won't let me see the old man?
Yes, it's fine.
His thumbprint is on the will.
I have no need for him either.
It's Mom.
Quit getting ideas and come to work.
You know what'll happen if I catch you talking.
What were you going to say? You sold a building?
Yes.
I sold a building I owned to buy WIDE shares.
I own 6.9 percent.
Why are you telling me that?
I thought you might need that 6.9 percent.
I came to ask...
what you can do for me if I give you my shares.
What do you want?
Will you do what I ask?
I have no right or reason to take those shares.
I'm not in a position to make decisions.
Whatever it is you want, go with it.
- What? - Forget about that.
What Ms. Ham said earlier.
How can you say that?
Can't you even make up something you could do for me?
- Don't you want anything? - Tae Hee.
If you're Grandfather's grandson,
For his sake, shouldn't you meet shareholders...
and plead with them to prepare for the shareholder meeting?
I volunteered to help you out and you refused?
You're on the losing side and you won't take my help.
Are you that proud of yourself?
Grandpa knows whose son you are.
You're the one who must be worried...
you'll lose it all when Grandpa wakes up.
Ji Hwan, that jerk.
- Mother. - Where are you going?
To see Grandpa.
Why? Are you worried he's awake?
You don't have to go. I was just there.
I'm his grandson.
Even if he knows the truth, to everyone on the outside,
I'm still his grandson.
- So what? - The grandson he found...
after 30 years stays with him every night.
Do you think it would make sense...
if the one he raised for 30 years ignored him?
What would people think?
Why do you care what people think if they mean nothing to us?
How can I not worry about it?
I will make sure you get your share.
You just work on the shareholders.
About Annie. Are you sure she's on our side?
Yes.
Even if she said so,
she can always change her mind.
Watch her until the shareholder meeting.
Ji Hwan can look after the empty shell of the old man.
He can do all he wants.
The company will be ours anyway.
Hello.
I was going to come and see you.
The shareholders?
Yes. Since the chairman passed out,
they've been wavering.
And avoiding my calls.
That means they're leaning toward Ms. Ham.
I hope it's soon revealed that she embezzled the company fund.
I do too,
but I doubt the investigation will end before the shareholder meeting.
- Right. - I guess I should...
meet the shareholders myself.
Actually, before he collapsed, the chairman...
had arranged a meeting.
What could be worse than facing...
the daughter-in-law who killed your son?
No way. It can't be.
Ms. Nam.
We got too few home shopping time slots next month.
Are you doing your job?
Let's talk.
Go and bring in more time slots.
- Ms. Ham. - Go to the networks yourself...
or meet the merchandisers.
Secure us at least 12 slots for next month.
This should be a great way to figure out...
how skilled Ms. Nam and her Marketing Team are.
(Seohyun University Hospital)
Sir?
Sir.
If you wake up,
I'm afraid you'll shout at me for lying.
If you don't wake up,
I'll lose my job security and retirement fund...
and I'm afraid of that too.
What should I do now?
Did you eat something?
The chairman's in bed unable to eat himself.
How could I go out to eat?
You still have to.
I'll stay a while. Get something to eat.
Then shall I have some porridge?
I can't afford to get sick myself.
Go ahead, then.
Sir.
I'll go and get lunch.
Sleep while I'm gone.
I guess summer is almost out.
It was so hot,
but now it's cooler in the morning and evenings.
The weather's nice.
I wish you were well enough to go out for walks.
Sir. Did you just move?
You did, didn't you?
For real? Did Grandpa...
Did Grandpa really move?
Yes. He slightly moved a finger.
Of course, it's not enough...
to say he's regaining consciousness.
No. I think he's coming back.
He's doing it.
Then I'll call his doctor and have some tests done.
Let's keep this between us for now.
What about Ms. Yoo?
Send her right home today.
We can't let Ms. Ham hear about this.
Okay, I'll do that.
Thanks, Ju Hong. I owe you.
Sure.
I understand. Of course.
Let's decide when the test results are out.
I got it. Bye.
With that long face,
what are you planning now?
Grandpa's not doing well at all.
What? What's wrong with him? How?
His oxygen saturation's going down.
They'll check his inflammatory markers...
and then monitor him.
So?
Do you feel better now?
Don't act like you're clueless.
I'm asking if you feel better now that what...
you told Grandpa made him like this.
You're being illogical.
Grandfather passed out while he was with your mother.
Do you know where you went wrong?
You didn't know how Grandpa thought of me.
You didn't know what I meant to him...
when you started all this.
Do you think he'll abandon me when he even accepted Tae Hee?
He'll give me even more now,
saying it wasn't my fault.
If you were that sure about that,
why did you mess with my car?
- What? - If you're right,
you had no reason to stop me.
Don't bring that up again.
My patience is limited.
It won't happen again.
If and when I do bring it up,
it will be with actions, not just words.
What is it? Is the chairman in trouble?
It's not the chairman.
The trouble is with me.
It's Dr. Baek.
She suddenly told me to go on holiday.
What should I do?
What? What about the chairman?
She said his condition suddenly worsened.
If the test results aren't good,
he might have to go back to the ICU.
If that happens, I won't be needed as a carer,
so she told me to take time off, so what should I do?
Hey.
Give me a call, then, Dr. Baek.
I'll be on standby at home.
Anyway, I'm leaving the ward now.
(CEO Ham Sook Jin)
What are they up to now?
Why are you here instead of at work?
Is that why Grandpa collapsed?
Because he was shocked to hear what you did to Dad?
Are you out of your mind? Keep your mouth shut.
Why? Will you say I misheard?
Yes. You misheard.
No. I heard it clearly.
You said, "What could be worse than facing the daughter-in-law..."
"who killed your son?"
Fine. Do whatever you want.
Go and talk as loud as you wish.
Do you want to ruin us all?
Do what you want...
and see what happens.
Yes. I will do it.
You mistreated and belittled me my whole life.
I'll show you how that ends. Just wait.
Is that so?
Then I have no choice but to reveal that...
your birth father was an accomplice.
Are you surprised?
Your birth father was an accomplice.
Mother.
He and I got rid of Chan Woo together.
No. It's a lie.
She's lying to use my birth father to stop me again.
Mr. Yang, it's me.
The chairman fainted,
and I know the board and shareholders are concerned.
What did his doctor say?
How exactly is he right now?
What I can tell you now...
is that the chairman will definitely recover.
Well, the board, including myself, is concerned.
He said he'd dismiss Ms. Ham and take over as acting CEO,
but now he's unconscious.
How else are we to take this other than...
there's a power struggle for management within the family?
You're right.
That is what upsets the chairman and me the most.
The chairman's only goal is to return WIDE,
his life's work, to where it was.
To do that, we cannot allow Ms. Ham to remain as CEO...
after she embezzled, which is just one of her many illegal activities.
Wasn't it the Head of Development who embezzled funds?
You'll see what I mean when the investigation is concluded.
You must also consider the possibility...
that Ms. Ham will be arrested.
If Ms. Ham gets her way with the company,
in the end, the board and shareholders...
will suffer greatly.
Please, Director Yoo.
Think cautiously before acting.
Mr. Choi, it's me. I'll leave at around five.
See you in the parking lot.
Once the will is amended,
I don't care when he dies.
About Grandfather.
He might end up back in the ICU. Have you heard?
Yes, I have.
Shouldn't we be at the hospital?
If he ends up dying...
You'll end up inheriting your gift sooner than expected.
"Gift?"
What do you mean by that?
You loved gifts as a child.
You'd stare at my hands whenever I came home from work.
Expecting a gift.
What exactly are you talking about?
Look forward to what I'll bring home this evening.
I'll bring you a massive present that will fill your heart.
Do you know who my birth father is?
Mr. Yang?
I don't know.
Do you not?
I realized that...
when you say you don't know something, it means you know.
Then about my dad... No.
Nam Chan Woo's death. How much do you know about that?
You know it wasn't suicide, don't you?
Do you also know there was an accomplice?
Mother said...
the accomplice is my birth father.
I have no idea what you're talking about.
You would say that.
You don't have to tell me.
But do me a favor.
Mother said the moment I know who my birth father is,
he will not be able to live.
Whether it's because he's an accomplice to Nam Chan Woo's death,
or because I know,
if Mother tries to harm him,
help him for me.
And promise to tell me then...
who my birth father is.
Did you come back without opening up?
Who am I to send you to this time?
Why are you talking to yourself?
See,
Ji Hwan's mother had this when she was found.
That pen?
It looks like a pen, but it's a recording device.
It's a recorder?
And you think it recorded something?
I've been asking around for over a month to find out,
but it's not easy because it got wet.
If we find something on it,
could we find out who took Kyung Sun?
Yes, but I'm not sure if we can restore the recording.
Why did you come over to see me?
What? Oh, silly me. I forgot.
I came to ask you to come to storage with me.
Oh, right. It's restocking day.
I should've come to you. Sorry.
Don't apologize. You're helping me out.
After Sang Gu died,
I don't dare go to storage on my own.
I miss him too much.
I understand.
Wait at the store. I'll get the stuff.
No, I'll come with you.
No, go and wait. I'll get everything you need.
(Seohyun University Hospital)
Grandpa.
Hey, Ju Hong.
Hi, Sol.
Hello.
Where is Grandpa?
She kept asking all the way here.
She must miss him a lot.
You can go inside. He's in the room.
- Okay. - Come on in, Sol.
Okay.
Grandpa.
It's Grandpa.
Is he still asleep?
Yes, but he's getting better.
Is he?
He must be pleased you two are here.
He looks more relaxed.
Can he hear what we say?
I think so.
Then I want to tell him to get better soon.
Okay. Stand next to him and say that.
Oh? Blood.
Are you bleeding? Let me see.
Blood. Grandpa is bleeding.
Oh, no.
(Ju Hong)
Hi, Ju Hong.
Sol and my mom are there, right?
What? On Grandpa's finger?
Okay, Ju Hong. I'll call you back.
(Written Will)
(Nam Heung Sik)
- This is... - Isn't a thumbprint more viable?
They're on all the necessary spots, so have that legalized.
Clause two.
I, Nam Heung Sik,
leave the WIDE shares in my name...
to my legal grandson...
who is Nam Tae Hyung.
How long will it take? Not long, right?
This version...
is too drastic a change.
So what?
If the chairman wakes up and finds out about this...
You don't have to worry about that.
How many times must I say for you to understand?
- I'm sorry but... - That...
is not something you should say.
You hired the ghostwriter.
You can't say now that you're sorry and you can't do this.
- Ms. Ham. - I'll say it one last time.
Listen up.
This is what the chairman wants.
So that he can get his way,
you get this legalized...
and finish the procedure so that it's legally binding, okay?
What is there to think about?
If you just do as I say,
not just you but your children will have a retirement fund as well.
I need you to just sign this.
It's not that I don't trust you,
but just in case, down the line,
something untoward might happen and I'd like to prepare against that.
Sign it.
Even if we revise the written will, there's a legal reserve,
so we can't take anything from Woo Ji Hwan...
who was proven a legal heir.
We can't? Then we must reduce the chairman's share.
What building can we sell off right now...
What are you doing?
Give me that.
Yes.
You can have it.
Woo Ji Hwan!
Are you satisfied?
Whatever you do, I will stop you.
Thoroughly and to the end.
I will bring you down.
(The Secret House)
While you did nothing, Mr. Yang,
do you know what happened to me?
Do you know what got messed up?
The chairman is gravely ill.
Is that all?
You clearly have an ulterior motive.
Are you sure Grandfather is gravely ill?
What if Dr. Jung isn't on our side?
Around the time she died,
what was going on in her life?
Could you tell me?
Grandpa, are you awake? Are you conscious?
Witches like you should be in prison.
I didn't do it!
