I have an important announcement to make.
I am ready to step down...
as honorary chairwoman.
Taking my place...
as Cheonha Group's chairman is...
Here we have the new chairman.
What happened? What is Yoo Ji Ho doing here?
Those who thought he was dead must be so disappointed.
Hello, everyone.
I was away for a while.
I missed you the most...
Ms. Seol.
You can catch up with everyone in your free time.
You're now...
Cheonha's new chairman who'll open up a new era.
You should share how you feel.
Sure.
I'm not a fan of long-winded speeches.
I'll follow in my grandmother Chairwoman Ma's footsteps...
and value people,
but with my passion, vigor, and challenging spirit,
I'll build up a bigger...
and stronger Cheonha Group that'll reach the skies.
I'll give it my best shot.
Thank you.
What happened?
Did you dupe me?
You said you didn't care about the company.
When you agreed to move back in,
wasn't your plan to dupe me?
- I wanted to save you. - What?
From all the evil you'd done,
and from the weight of it that's bearing down on you.
I'm the one who saved you...
from Yu Gyeong and Hye Soo.
What do you mean?
If I'd made you Cheonha's chairman,
you'd have handed over that title to them right away.
So you put me on the sideline while you crowned Ji Ho?
You may be just half-brothers,
but shouldn't you be overjoyed he came back alive?
I didn't want him to die,
but I didn't want him...
to return in this manner either.
You'll regret this decision.
Ji Ho will become...
an even worse evil than you.
For the company's sake,
a powerful evil is better than...
a poor attempt at being good.
You haven't changed at all.
If you don't want to lose to Ji Ho,
you must become stronger, In Ha.
You must be in shock.
I didn't think you'd die so soon or so easily.
I didn't think you actually...
wanted me dead, Mother.
I was far behind...
and you taught me a thing or two.
Rather than being outed as a fake grandson,
wouldn't it be better to die now?
Do you think I'll go out on my own?
I'll take you with me.
I'll keep you entertained.
Now that I'm back.
I do wonder...
how you survived.
I was told you drowned.
You have no idea what I went through.
You must've wanted me to become fish feed.
It's such a pity.
- Oh, dear. - I hurt my back.
Hello?
Who's this?
What?
Ji Ho.
My gosh, Ji Ho.
What did the doctor say? Will he live?
He was dehydrated and there was water in his lungs.
He had hypothermia too, and he almost died,
but fortunately, the worst is over.
Good.
My poor Ji Ho.
You must fight.
You must punish those...
who did this to you.
Ji Ho.
Fight for me. Hang in there.
I guess the heavens will never punish me.
I'm just too lucky.
It was the chairwoman after all.
I guess it's not over yet,
since you said you wouldn't go down alone.
I'll be waiting.
Take your time and don't rush.
You will need to take me out in one go.
If not, I'll kill you first.
Wait.
I'll heed your advice, Vice-chairwoman.
What? "Vice-chairwoman?"
I am your superior now. It's only natural I talk down to you.
From now on...
you'd better address me according to our titles, Vice-chairwoman.
Hello again.
Your pretty face got a bit haggard.
Were you that concerned I'd died?
Guess.
I think you'd have been pleased.
I went missing before our divorce was finalized,
so even if I had died, as my widow, you'd have gotten a huge settlement.
You'd already put our apartment in your mother's name.
Were you planning to kick me out penniless?
People who always had a lot...
have no idea what it's like...
not to have anything to their name.
You were meant to live an average life but you enjoyed...
a spoiled lifestyle at the expense of others.
So what?
Were you going to take everything from me instead of Hye Soo?
No, I was going to make things right.
By putting Hye Soo where she belonged.
For that to happen,
you need me out of your life?
You did a lot of thinking while I was away.
You got the point right away.
While you were away, I missed you and I can't believe I did.
What?
But then almost immediately I was hit by the feeling of betrayal.
You deserve to die.
There's more to come.
You can't ever...
die because you want to or at anyone else's hand.
I must be the one to kill you.
That's how I feel now.
That's the Se Young I know.
But Se Young.
Our deliberation period's down to two months.
Sorry.
I changed my mind.
What?
I won't divorce you.
Joo Se Young.
I was the one who mourned your death even for a moment, not Hye Soo.
Mother will be so pleased.
Don't stay out too late. Oh, by the way...
Did I tell you?
It's somewhat exciting to have you back.
I won't be bored at least.
She's out of her mind.
The chairwoman saved Ji Ho?
It was her after all.
I'm not surprised.
They are related after all.
I did think she was too calm while Ji Ho was missing.
It was the quiet before the storm.
She got me good this time.
Her plan was to lure me back...
only to name Ji Ho as her successor.
We can't let the chairwoman decide who will succeed her.
That's right.
We can't let that happen.
We must stop this, whatever it takes.
Who could be calling me this late?
My gosh.
Ji Ho! Where are you?
Are you alive?
You're at home?
I'll be right there. Don't go anywhere.
Ji Ho.
Mom.
Am I dreaming?
My baby...
You were distraught, I know.
I'm back.
You fool.
You should've called me if you were alive.
Do you know how sad I was?
I'm sorry. It was top secret.
Then did someone actually try to kill you?
Was it really Seol Yu Gyeong?
Don't worry too much. I'll take care of it.
I became...
Cheonha Group's chairman.
What? Is that true?
Congratulations, Mother.
You're now the mother of Cheonha's chairman.
Isn't this fantastic?
You managed to come home at the most opportune time.
Let's celebrate.
Ji Ho's alive and back...
and he was named chairman.
The family should get together and congratulate him.
Where's Han Byeol?
Oh, Han Byeol?
She got so depressed because you were gone,
so I let her stay with her mom for a few days.
She spent a few days with Hye Soo?
Ji Ho.
He's using Han Byeol as an excuse to see Hye Soo again?
Why are you here?
For two things.
Sit down.
Keep it brief.
- I missed you, Hye Soo. - I missed you too.
I thought you were dead...
and almost mourned you only because you're Han Byeol's dad.
- "Almost?" - But I realized something...
the moment I saw you today.
What's that, I wonder?
How could you even dream of taking over Cheonha Group?
I'm the chairwoman's grandson.
And she chose me over In Ha.
She'll regret that pretty soon.
Quite the opposite, because I'll do an amazing job.
And I'll get you back too.
You have your work cut out for you, then.
Before I do that, I'll take Han Byeol.
- What? - I have parental rights.
Han Byeol.
Leave her alone. She's very on edge.
She needs her mom.
Step aside.
Han Byeol, Dad's here.
Stop it!
Dad.
Han Byeol. How have you been?
Did you just say "Dad?"
She can talk now?
She started saying "mom" and "dad" a few days ago.
Good for you, Han Byeol.
Dad's back. Let's go home now.
I promised she could stay for ten nights.
- Ten nights? - It's been just five days.
Han Byeol.
This isn't your home. Come with me.
Leave her alone. She said no!
Why should she stay here when this isn't her home?
Listen up, Hye Soo.
If you want to live with Han Byeol, leave In Ha and come back to me, okay?
- Come along, Han Byeol. - Stop it!
Let go of her!
- She said no! - Come with me, Han Byeol!
- Han Byeol. - Stand up.
- Mom! - Get up, Han Byeol.
- Han Byeol. - Han Byeol.
Wake up.
- Han Byeol. - Han Byeol.
Han Byeol!
She has the right to choose.
Taking her against her will because you're her dad is assault.
I'll leave for today.
We'll talk about this another time.
I'm sorry, Han Byeol.
I heard Han Byeol fainted. Is she okay?
One would think you're her dad.
Do you know how you look?
Like a loser who's using Han Byeol to get to Hye Soo.
Keep your mouth shut, In Ha.
Listen carefully.
You might have gotten more greedy, but Hye Soo and I got stronger.
And we'll keep getting stronger.
If you got stronger, why did you lose the chairman title to me?
Aren't you just better at fighting talk?
Don't irritate me any further...
because it makes me want to go back for Han Byeol.
Move.
Is Han Byeol asleep?
Yes. Thank you, In Ha.
I refuse that expression of gratitude.
You're way too polite.
It makes us feel distant.
Should I say I don't thank you, then?
Just give me a smile, a warm, bright smile.
My heart warms up whenever I see you.
That's what scares me.
Why?
Am I allowed to feel this warmth?
Can I allow myself time for that?
Can't you feel warm and get revenge too?
Do you have to be cold, dark, and gloomy?
Revenge is venom.
The hatred I feel for those who ruined my life...
shouldn't warm me up.
Whenever you hold me,
I feel sleepy.
I want to rest.
I can't rest yet. I must be furious.
I'll help you extinguish the fury.
I'll become more powerful than Ji Ho.
To protect my love...
and my love's precious daughter,
I'll stop being the sweet Daddy Long Legs for a while.
I'll become a knight with the power...
to crush Ji Ho.
It won't be just talk.
I'll show you.
I feel so much better now.
What shall I do with Ji Ho?
Mr. Ko confessed that Ji Ho put him up to murder?
He did.
Then issue an arrest warrant for instigating murder.
He's no longer a prosecutor who works for me.
He's the chairman of Cheonha Group.
Who's the chairman?
I won't let that happen.
What? Was the succession legal?
Many executives have their doubts.
Cheonha Group doesn't belong to just you.
The decision isn't yours to make alone.
My goodness.
You promised...
to name In Ha your successor.
But then you went back on your word.
I explained the reasoning behind that decision to In Ha.
That was between you and me.
I'd like to hear the proof...
and due process behind your decision to make Ji Ho chairman.
I'm well-qualified.
My father, the late Yoo Min Sung,
left me Apolon, the Hong Kong-based subsidiary that produces men's wear.
And that Apolon merged with Cheonha Fashion...
which owns 16 percent of Cheonha Group.
I know every single company that Min Sung owned,
and even if I don't,
why would he have left it to you and not to In Ha?
I wonder myself.
I used to resent the father whose face I'd never seen,
and I never dreamed he'd have left me such a gift.
Grandmother told me about it.
Is this true?
I can't accept this.
Vice-chairwoman Seol is the legitimate heir.
And there's In Ha whom she acknowledges.
There's me too, ma'am.
I'm Yoo Hyung Seok's granddaughter, also directly in the line of succession.
There's Ms. Seol, In Ha, and also me.
How could Ji Ho become chairman?
Why are you still raving about bloodlines in this day and age?
It's the global age and we must be innovative.
You were a prosecutor your whole life,
and you've never run a business.
And you want him to run a conglomerate?
It's a dangerous gamble.
I own 20 percent of Cheonha Group,
which is more than Grandmother has.
What other qualifications do you need?
The three major shareholders including myself...
and the executives here...
request we elect a new chairman...
in a more transparent...
and acceptable process.
I volunteer Seol Yu Gyeong for the title.
We now have two candidates for the role, Ms. Seol and Yoo Ji Ho.
How about we vote on...
who is more eligible?
Yes, I agree with that.
I second that.
You need to take this, ma'am. It's Minister Joo.
Ma Hyun Duk speaking.
I should pay you a visit,
but I have too many places to be though I'm rarely welcome.
I'm in an executive meeting.
If you insisted on speaking with me, it must be an urgent matter.
Ko Sung Jae, your chief secretary.
What about Mr. Ko?
He confessed.
That the person who ordered him to kill Yoo Min Sung...
was Yoo Ji Ho.
I suggest you postpone appointing a successor.
We can't let a man...
who killed his father lead a company.
Let's meet right now.
Today's the day, Mr. Ko.
You said you'd let me see Yoo Min Sung.
There's nothing I can do to help.
I'll have to tell the world you sent me...
the copy of Mr. Yoo's car's dashcam.
And that Executive Director Seol was behind it.
Do you believe this is the truth?
I have no choice but to believe as Ji Ho is my grandson.
You think Mr. Ko gave a false statement?
I guess he had a grudge against Ji Ho.
I must check the recording.
Then arrest Seol Yu Gyeong first.
What are you on about?
She was the one who took Ji Ho, detained him...
against his will, and then tried to drown him.
There's a witness too.
Why do you look so nervous?
I'm not.
What is it? Something's going down, right?
Why did you call me here?
What is she doing here?
It's Ms. Seol's request.
Mom sent you?
Okay, then. I'll let you chat.
She told me to give you this.
Ms. Seol told you to give me this?
She says you should use that to start your own business.
She's donating to me out of pity?
You lost your job and there's talk you're getting divorced.
Tell her I'll spend it well.
One more thing.
Give her this message.
I'm not at all grateful.
Chairwoman Ma had this?
The security cameras had been taken care of,
but someone on-site took those with a phone.
They used those photos to make a deal with her.
That's how she managed to get to Ji Ho in time.
If I arrest Ji Ho...
for instigating Yoo Min Sung's murder,
I have no choice but to arrest you for trying to kill Ji Ho.
You must've made a deal, then.
I had no choice.
You fear me, don't you?
I fear your maternal instinct.
You thought Ji Ho would harm Hye Soo...
if you didn't get to him first.
Thank you for understanding.
I'm confused.
But I'm trying to understand you for you.
I must put myself in danger.
That's the only way to eliminate Ji Ho.
I must take the money and disappear?
Does she think I'll back down?
Why does she think I'm a pushover?
Darn it.
I'll climb back up.
I'll climb high enough so that Seol Yu Gyeong, Hye Soo,
and Ji Ho have to look up at me.
I can't talk right now. I have an important appointment.
The chairwoman asks you to wait a moment.
Okay.
Let's talk later.
What the heck?
When will you leave this apartment?
After I see you shrivel and die.
Why are you so upset?
Did you go to whine at Seol Yu Gyeong only to get turned away?
Shut your mouth.
Why would she go to see the chairwoman this late at night?
Who's seeing the chairwoman?
Mom. No, Vice-chairwoman Seol.
Seol Yu Gyeong?
What's going on?
What...
did you say?
I said...
Yoo Ji Ho isn't your grandson.
(Game of Witches)
Do you think I can't do what you do?
I turned Kang Ji Ho into Yoo Ji Ho.
You'll never be able to topple my sturdy castle.
Chairwoman Ma is behind every evil act.
The war ends when you fell the enemy commander.
Ma Hyun Duk, you're under arrest for suspicion of...
stock manipulation and accounting fraud.
