Original subtitles

(Episode 14) The first and second are already set.

Please send us the product description,

and we'll call you after we check it out.

Yes, okay.

Mr. Choi.

I don't believe in rebates. Goodbye!

Send it to us first.

Please. Okay.

Sir. Take a look. There's an article about us online.

- What? / - Where?

Really?

She's right!

Click on that.

"Hyunsung Market to retake first place in sales."

Wow!

Come take a look!

If you're nice, you'll get two for 10 dollars!

Pretty lady, you get one for free!

Oh, yes!

That's too much.

I'll give you a discount.

A discount at a supermarket?

At this supermarket, yes.

I'll take some, too.

The remaining pork is on sale.

The next 10 people get the discount!

Line up! Come, come!

Here you are.

I only ordered one.

Your child needs to eat, too. That one's free.

- Really? / - Enjoy.

Can we request revival now?

Of course.

Why did you want to see me?

How have you been, Mr. Chairman?

Cut to the chase.

I don't want to talk to you for long.

I heard you've bought up Hyunsung Distributions stock.

How did you know that?

As you may know,

I sold all my shares when we declared bankruptcy,

so I have none left.

That means it has nothing to do with you, now.

So stay out of it.

However,

I'd like to take Hyunsung Distributions back.

What garbage is this?

With this, I think there shouldn't be

a problem with reviving the company.

I'll listen to what the creditors' committee

has to say.

If four of the five of you are for it, we will end

the court's overseeing of Hyunsung Distributions.

Please raise your hand if you approve.

The two of you disapprove?

I think it's too soon.

I see.

In that case...

I approve of the revival.

Your business is bigger than I had thought.

You hid quite a few businesses, too.

I'm thinking of handing this over to a prosecutor.

You will probably be charged for tax evasion.

Since it's such a big amount,

I'm sure they'd be interested.

- Where did you get this? / - What will you do?

Will you spend your twilight years in prison?

Or will you give me all your shares of

Hyunsung Distributions?

I'm not saying I'll take them for free.

I'll have to deduct what cost me to get this,

but you won't be disappointed.

You think

I'll lose to a kid like you?

Don't be like that.

Must this runt really do something this dirty?

I'm just doing exactly what you did to me.

Congratulations.

Congratulations, Sir. Finally,

you're no longer the court-appointed administrator.

What's wrong? Aren't you happy?

I am, but I have a bad feeling about this.

Why did he change his mind at the end like that?

He's not someone who would have approved it.

Sir, I...

I need to go home first.

Why? We need to celebrate.

I'd like to, but my wife isn't feeling well.

- What's wrong? / - It's nothing serious.

I've been too busy lately to take care of her.

I may have to take a few days off, too.

Okay. Go on.

Family is more important than work.

Okay. I'm sorry, Sir.

Bye!

Let's go to a good pork barbeque place I know.

- The one in Mapo? / - Yes.

- I want chicken and beer. / - That sounds good.

There's plenty on that street.

- Really? / - Let's go.

Mr. Choi. Mr. Gu. Are you with us?

There is no need to ask. We're family.

You should ask the traitor over here.

Hey, come on.

My daughter.

I'm sorry.

I did something that will make you

remember me as an embarrassment.

Because I

betrayed the person

I trusted the most in the world.

I'm sorry.

Mr. Chairman, we have great news.

We're free from the court's administration.

You're not free from anything.

You just fell into a trap.

Kim Jihyeok, take a seat.

Yes, Sir.

Did you have him do it?

- What do you mean? / - Why?

Why does he have my secret ledger?

Idiot.

- He, as in... / - Kang Dongseok, that runt.

How could you let him use that to threaten me?

You didn't know?

Then,

Gu Deokgyu did it all on his own!

What do you mean?

I had him take care of my finances.

I trusted him.

But he gave it to that jerk!

I dug my own grave.

If I don't want to go to prison, I have to give him

all of my shares. Do you know that?

There's no way.

Mr. Gu would never do that.

Do you know what your biggest weakness is?

You trust people too much.

It's over.

You did all that work just to give it away.

The number you have dialed is currently unavailable.

I'm sorry.

Mr. Chairman.

Did you take Mr. Gu...

You know how this world works.

Traitors are handled the same, then and now.

Mr. Chairman.

Let me see him just once.

To do what?

To say your farewells?

- Mr. Chairman. / - Forget him.

Forget everything that happened.

Someone as naive as you

can't take on Kang Dongseok.

Just come work for me.

Let's end all of this by getting rid of Gu Deokgyu.

Please, let me see him just one more time.

I need to ask him why he did it.

Sir, he was the only person

who took my hand when I had no hope.

Please, Mr. Chairman.

Hyunsung Distributions has been revived.

Really?

Kim Jihyeok is impressive.

How did he find a way when there was no hope?

I have to hand it to him.

But do you know what his other talent is?

Working his butt off and giving it to others.

What do you mean?

Hyunsung Distributions

will return to where it belongs.

He worked hard on saving it only to return it to me.

Isn't he great?

Please, just kill me.

Mr. Gu!

Are you okay?

Sir.

Kang Dongseok threatened you, didn't he?

You did it because you had no choice, right?

No.

I did it voluntarily.

Mr. Gu.

I didn't want my wife and kid out on the streets...

No.

I was just obsessed with money.

I did it knowing that I might die for this.

Mr. Chairman.

Please, just kill me.

It hurts too much.

Give him what he wants, Yongman.

Yes, Sir.

Please! Please forgive us just this once!

What are you doing?

I'll work like a dog for you for the rest of my life!

I'll crawl like a dog if you tell me to!

Please don't do this.

Don't do this for a traitor like me. Please.

Please forgive us just this once!

What are you guys doing?

Are you guys filming a movie?

Give me a break.

What do you think of Kim Jihyeok?

I think he's loyal.

Loyalty won't feed you.

He is an idiot.

He is the biggest idiot

I've ever seen in my life.

Here's a band-aid.

Why are you doing this for someone like me?

I ruined everything.

It's not because of you.

It's because of Kang Dongseok.

I was wondering why he gave his approval so easily.

Who knew they were planning this?

I don't expect to be forgiven.

Just swear at me, get angry, and hate me. Please?

Mr. Gu.

I believe in you.

Sir.

Even if you confess to doing it,

you can't sway my faith in you.

I betrayed the market people at one time, too.

But those people

took me back in eventually

as family.

So please,

tell me the truth.

What?

There's something you're not telling me.

A while ago, Chairman Cho asked me

to manage his finances for him.

I was in no position to refuse.

I had expected there would be problems,

but it was much worse than I had anticipated.

Chairman Cho's tax evasion.

Even if Hyunsung was revived,

it would've been a problem once we took over.

So I was worried about that, and...

Honey, I'm home.

Why are you just sitting there?

Why is my madam so down?

I'm sorry.

Sorry for what? Come on.

What is this?

Why are there stickers notifying attachment?

Hey.

What is this?

I was just trying to survive, too.

What are you talking about?

What...

Just how much did you borrow?

Why are these on our things?

Who is it?

- What... / - Hello, Mr. Gu.

This is what I promised your wife.

- What? / - Goodbye, then.

What are you...

My wife gave Chairman Cho's secret ledger

to Do Sangho for a small sum of money.

No.

I'm sorry.

I tried to fix the problem,

but I couldn't throw my wife under the bus.

I'm sorry.

It's okay.

You were trying to sacrifice yourself for your family.

We can get the company back.

Because I know I can't win.

Because

I know I'll lose in the end.

See?

It tastes different because you changed restaurants.

It's from the same place.

The new place closed down,

so I went back to the old place.

Put your head down.

How dare you make a fool of me?

I'm sorry, Sir.

Now that I'm full,

let's get going.

- Are you going home? / - No.

I need to go somewhere I haven't been in a while.

What are you planning to do, Sir?

What do I plan to do?

Can't you see?

I am making a call!

Why did you call this late at night, Mr. Chairman?

Hey!

Hey, you runt!

You know what?

You will lose to Kim Jihyeok.

I am sure of that.

Okay, then.

I'll be back.

You lost this time.

I have worse news.

I got a call from the oil company.

They decided to go with Daesam instead.

There's no way.

There's no way.

Something went wrong.

Dongseok, I think you're made for business.

You know how to step on others in order to survive.

But at times, that's not all there is.

Sometimes, you have to push forward foolishly.

With the failed bid,

Hyunsung Energy has hit rock bottom again.

Your vice-chairman position went up in smoke, too.

Think hard about

how you can save Hyunsung from doom.

Don't waste your energy fighting Kim Jihyeok.

You got a copy of our bidding document, right?

What?

Come on. How would I have done that?

Fine, let's say I could have gotten a copy.

What would happen if I got caught?

I know I wouldn't survive if I upset

a giant like Hyunsung.

Myeongho definitely received information on our bid.

He figured out that we had theirs, so he got ours.

Find out how it was leaked.

I'm sure you'll find something off.

Yes, Sir.

Why did you do this, Sir?

Because I couldn't stand

that jerk, Kang Dongseok.

If I gave the company to him,

I would have lost to a runt.

That's why I turned myself in.

Mr. Chairman.

I didn't want to hear people say

that the mighty Cho Hwasu was ruined

by some runt like that.

Hey thug, remember what you said to me?

You should grow the debt and make them repay it.

So, I'll give you all my shares in

Hyunsung Distributions.

Use it as you see fit.

That's ridiculous.

I'm not qualified.

And another thing.

I'll tack on all of my dreams

from over the years on those shares.

Bring down Hyunsung,

and become the leader of the best corporation.

Just tell the world this for me.

"I, Kim Jihyeok, was a thug that Cho Hwasu had raised."

Okay,

I'll do as you ask.

I didn't lose.

I didn't lose.

I just got sick of playing a game with you.

Goodness.

- Do you fix shoes here? / - Yes, we do.

Please wash out this stain for me.

Dongseok, I'll do it myself.

Fountain pen ink is soluble, so it washes out easily.

Oh, okay.

I'll take that.

I never said it was fountain pen ink.

Dongseok. Here.

Thanks.

I ordered you your usual.

Thanks.

How does it feel being the chief secretary?

It's good.

Really? That's good.

But don't let it go to your head.

What?

Being high up means more people are watching you.

You may think only you know something,

but there may be others who know as well.

Okay, I'll be careful.

Be careful.

Hello, Jihyeok.

Tonight?

Oh, that's right.

I'll be there. Where was it again?

Okay, I'll see you then.

Most of the market people said they'd be there.

But Mr. Gu isn't answering his phone.

Really? I'll try calling.

If you call, he won't answer.

He probably won't come even if you talked to him.

Mr. Gu has to come.

He worked the hardest.

Where's the bar he frequents?

Hello?

Remember what you asked me to look into?

What?

You asked me to find out how the bid was leaked.

Oh, that?

I saw something strange in the security videos.

I think Kim Jihyeok was involved.

- And... / - And?

So Mira was probably involved.

I'll come to your office and show you.

No, I'll come to your office.

Wait for me there.

Mira.

Dongseok, what brings you here?

What is it?

Were you watching something you shouldn't?

No, I was chatting with my sister.

Are you free tonight?

I'm sorry, but something came up at the last minute.

I'm going with my sister to a relative's party.

Really? Okay, then.

Have fun.

That's where it was switched.

I looked into it, he works for Cho Hwasu.

That means he's working with Kim Jihyeok.

I received the original document.

If they swapped it, I should've gotten a fake document.

So Mira gave it to him there

and he probably copied it somewhere.

There was a power outage when we were in the elevator.

That's probably where they switched it back.

You've used up your vacation days. Why aren't you back?

How did you know where I was?

How much longer do you plan to laze around?

How could I possibly go back?

We couldn't have gotten this far without you.

That's what you think.

I can't face the others.

- Why not? Everything worked out. / - What?

Kang Dongseok ended up digging his own grave.

If you hadn't taken that bait,

it would've been hard to revive Hyunsung Distributions.

It's obvious that the attorney would've

opposed of our revival at all cost.

It all worked out for the best.

Well yes, but still...

Wait!

Are you sure you didn't figure all that out

and pretend to take the bait?

That's absurd.

Please stop.

And it didn't all work out.

Chairman Cho went to prison.

He went in because he didn't pay his taxes.

That's all?

I heard that because he turned himself in,

there's a good chance

he'll be released on probation or just pay a fine.

I see.

See? Everything worked out for the best.

Listen.

Hyunsung Distributions has been revived.

Chairman Cho became an upstanding citizen.

And you

protected your family.

I'm sorry.

I told you to go without me.

- Come on! / - I can't go.

Imagine how much Choi Yujae must hate me now!

He's the expert traitor, remember?

He can't say anything to you.

I told you to just go without me.

Did you bring Kim Jihyeok?

I can't bear to deal with him anymore.

Drag him to the rooftop.

And

just push him over.

Kill him.

It's okay.

We'll say Cho Hwasu ordered it.

Kim Jihyeok threatened him with his secret ledger,

and Cho Hwasu had him killed.

It's simple, right?

Jihyeok. Jihyeok!

Jihyeok!

Mira.

Dongseok.

Were your plans canceled?

Then let's go have that dinner.

Sir.

Why is he...

Oh.

The chairman told me to use his car while he's away.

I see.

Why are you doing this?

You know everything, right?

Know what?

I just want to have dinner with you.

I don't want to go. Stop this!

Listen to me!

Don't be afraid.

I've prepared a special event for us.

Think of how hard I worked on it

and just come with me.

Here is the kimchi!

Let's eat!

- It looks good. / - I'll eat until my stomach bursts.

Seriously.

- Come this way! / - You don't look so bad.

I'm sorry. I can't face you.

It's okay. We're alumni. Corruption alumni.

What...

If you're too clean, it's hard to relate to you.

It's okay. Stop that.

Here comes the president!

- Kim Jihyeok! / - Kim Jihyeok!

- Kim Jihyeok! / - Kim Jihyeok!

Thank you.

It's all

thanks to you.

You suffered so much because of me.

No, not at all.

You had a harder time.

You all are

the strength that keeps me going.

I had no parents, but you took me in

and raised me.

Thank you so much.

I'll treat you all

like my mom and dad for the rest of my life.

Mom.

Your son did it, Mom.

Get off!

Get out.

Don't do this.

What's wrong? We're going to get married.

No.

What do you mean?

You know what I did.

Would I have done that if I were going to marry you?

I planned it.

Who cares?

What?

You tried to kill Kim Jihyeok.

You tried to give me his heart. Did you forget that?

It's over.

You can't end it on your own.

It ends when I say so.

Go inside.

We'll just have a quiet dinner.

Didn't I tell you?

I told you Hedgey would become somebody.

Don't make me laugh. You cursed him not too long ago!

- I did? / - Yes.

- I did that? / - Yes.

Was I drunk or something?

I never said that with a clear head.

I trust Hedgey through and through.

Mr. President, I never said that, I swear.

Please look favorably on me.

- Please look favorably on me. / - Sure.

Oh, right. Mom, did you bring his photo?

Oops. I almost forgot.

Yes, Mr. Park can't miss this.

Uncle.

Thank you.

I won't forget you as long as I live.

All of this is

thanks to you.

Why is it so solemn?

Come on, let's drink!

Let's drink! Come on!

What are you trying to do?

Mira.

I thought all the blood would burst from my heart.

You know that's my weakness.

But for me... No.

For you, I decided to get past it.

I plan to end it all here tonight.

I don't want to hear any excuses.

Let's forget everything bad that happened between us.

Everything.

That guy that came between us?

I'll forget him, too.

You know that's the best thing for him.

I love you, Mira.

Let's go back to how we used to be.

Back when we thought only of each other.

Let's go back to the times when we were madly in love.

Mira.

I forgive you for everything.

Sorry,

but I can't forgive you.

I can never forgive you

for insulting my late father.

What?

You framed my dad for your father's crimes!

You are doing this over such trifle?

"Trifle"?

It may be nothing out of the ordinary for you,

since to you people,

my father was no better than a bug.

But to me,

he was my one-and-only precious dad.

He sacrificed himself for me even after his death!

Even though he passed away,

he's my most precious dad.

I told you,

it only ends when I say so.

Let's finish dinner.

Out of my way.

Yes?

I'm sorry, but I'm lost.

May I get a ride into the city?

Sure, get in.

Thank you.

Hi, Jihyeok.

Well...

I don't think I can make it tonight.

Sorry.

Really?

Okay, don't worry about it.

She can't make it?

No.

Is something wrong?

I guess something came up.

You insist on going to him?

Then I can't leave him alone.

He took everything from me.

I can't forgive him.

What's wrong with him?

It's because

the person he was waiting for didn't show up.

Who?

Who else?

His love that he found after 30 years. So Mira.

Oh.

I'm sure he's disappointed. She played a big role.

But I'm sure that's not the only reason.

Why didn't she come? He's so down because of her.

Daeseop, give her a call.

Tell her to stop by at least for a short while.

She can't miss a day like this.

Like she'd come if I call?

Ouch. Oh, my back.

Jihyeok, do you mind if I go home first?

I've been standing all day because it was so busy.

I think I strained my back.

Sure, Mom. Go home.

I'll finish up here.

Thanks. Good night.

Get home safely!

Mira.

Where is everyone?

I was asked to stop by even if for a few minutes.

Who...

It was Daeseop.

I love that kid.

- Pardon? / - What?

No. Nothing.

It's just...

You should've come sooner. Everyone just left.

They would've been happy to see you.

I thought you couldn't make it?

I just had something to deal with.

Like what?

I mean,

why are you still there?

You've done all you could.

Leave now.

I will.

It must've been so hard.

Oh, my!

Stop pushing.

I couldn't see.

What are you doing?

We hid to give you some time alone.

- Get out! / - Let's go.

- Long time no see. / - Lucky you.

- Good luck, Hedgey! / - We weren't looking.

You look like you're on cloud nine.

Are you that happy?

What are you talking about?

Want to see a mirror? You can't stop grinning.

Were you guys doing all this stuff?

Why you...

What took you so long, punk?

What's with her?

- Annoying... / - I was so tired

because of her while you were gone.

Hey! Sleep in your room!

Hey! Jina!

Hey! Sleep in your room!

You think you can end it

with this piece of paper?

I told you I didn't want this!

I don't want it! I don't!

I told you I didn't want this.

Mira. You've made a big mistake.

All right!

From now on,

Hyunsung Distributions will start anew!

- Yes! / - That's great!

Everyone who suffered with me

and the people who just joined us.

From now on,

let's make Hyunsung Distributions

a great company with one mind and one spirit!

Let's do it!

Let's do it!

Oh, and

I'd like to introduce someone.

An unparalleled beauty!

The smartest person at Hyunsung Distributions! So Mira!

- I'm blinded! / - You're so pretty!

Nice to meet you.

I'm sure you were all

worried because I kept causing trouble

and making a mess of things.

Especially you two, Mr. Gu and Mr. Choi.

- You knew that? / - He knew.

But don't worry anymore.

If I make a mess,

she'll clean it right up.

I have a bad feeling about this.

I don't know about this.

Don't rely on her and cause too big a mess.

No, I'll do much worse.

Because I will make our company

the best company in all of Korea.

Will you join me?

Everyone, let's do this!

- Let's do this! / - Let's do this!

Have you calmed down now?

I wanted to,

but I have no support.

Here's your nutritious sandwich.

Thank you.

- What would you like? / - Are you busy?

Hold on.

The company is doing well now,

and I feel bad living off of you,

so I'm thinking of moving out.

You should move out, too.

You don't belong in a place like that.

You want to leave the apartment?

Yes.

You're not leaving the apartment. You're leaving me.

- Jina. / - What garbage is this?

What's wrong with you?

It's not news that you hate me.

Are things going well with Mira?

I told you, she's marrying my brother.

Stop wasting your emotions.

Share some of it with me instead!

Why can't you do that?

Jina, I consider you my little sister.

I hate your family, but I couldn't cut you out

because I'm grateful to you.

You were the only one

who treated me with sincerity in that house.

- Don't go. / - Jina.

Don't go. Fine, I'm your little sister.

Big brother.

You can be my brother. Just let me stay with you.

Please.

I can't live without you.

How am I supposed to live?

How?

Kim Jihyeok considers the market people his family.

Especially that woman, Hong Dalsuk, who ran

a sausage soup place and is now at Hyunsung market.

And Lee Daeseop, the butcher,

who also works at Hyunsung market.

He especially cherishes them like family.

Hong Dalsuk.

Didn't he call her "Mom" before?

Yes, he did.

That's how close they are.

Then start with her.

Pardon? What...

Kim Jihyeok took everything from me.

I can't just sit idly by.

I need to take his things, too.

I'll start with what's most important to him.

Sir.

I'm sorry,

but that's a little...

Who was the one who made Kim Jihyeok brain-dead?

That was...

That was done to save you.

Do it!

Do whatever it takes!

I don't care how much it costs!

I'll sell my soul to the devil if I must!

I must make him suffer.

Do you understand?

Mr. Do.

We've come too far.

It's too late to back out.

Yes, Sir.

- You know where she lives? / - Yes, but

this is totally different from going after a thug.

If, by any chance, I get caught,

the punishment would be different.

It'll vary greatly from what you've been paid so far.

Goodness.

What are you doing here?

I brought you a fan.

It's hot but you always use a handheld fan.

That's good enough for me.

Don't waste your money like this.

This was a returned item.

Someone returned this to the market,

so I thought I'd give it to you.

If you were going to bring me one anyway,

couldn't you bring me a good one?

You don't want it? Forget it then.

I wasted my time and energy bringing it for you.

It's okay. I'm just kidding.

Bring it inside.

Mom, I'm hungry.

Mom, I'm moving. You should move, too.

Why must I move just because you're moving?

Move in with me.

I'll take care of you from now on.

Whatever.

Your future wife would really like that.

They hate mothers-in-law as it is,

who would like a fake mother-in-law?

She's not like that.

Who? Mira?

Come on, Mom.

Look at you. You're grinning ear to ear.

That's enough. Get inside.

Okay, bye.

Go in. Go.

You'll get bitten by mosquitoes. Go in!

Mom!
