Did you want to see me locked up like this with your own eyes?

I wanted you to see me...

now that I've become the chairman.

I think that's why I came.

I'm not the chauffeur's son,

but the chairman of Adele Group.

I wanted to show you...

the proud man I've become compared to my pathetic old self.

So,

how does it feel to be the chairman?

Do you feel proud,

like you've been hoping for?

Hyun Jun?

It's not enough.

Just being chairman isn't enough...

to make me feel proud.

What?

To feel as proud as I want to be,

I think I need to show you a lot more.

By staying close to Park Tae Ho,

I'm going to take everything he has.

What are you talking about?

You'll never be proud of yourself as long as you stand by him.

So please, just stop.

If I stop now,

I'll be nothing.

Now that I'm the chairman of Adele Group,

I have to show everyone...

exactly who I am.

Park Hyun Jun!

Hyun Jun...

How much more are you going to ruin yourself...

by Park Tae Ho's side?

All the way to the end,

I'll be right beside Park Tae Ho.

While proudly by his side,

I'll show you the choice I've made.

You need energy to fight, so eat up.

I'm fine.

To save Jin Ju,

you have to deal with Park Tae Ho, Oh Jung Ran, Park Hyun Jun,

and even Choi Yu Na.

They're probably full of energy from eating and drinking their fill,

so how are you going to fight them if you don't eat?

You should eat something too.

I've never regretted anything more than I do today.

Regret?

When Jin Ju said...

she was going to kill Park Tae Ho,

I shouldn't have stopped her.

When she said she'd throw Choi Yu Na in prison for murder,

I should've agreed to it...

and used all my resources to help her.

Because I told her not to kill,

not to get blood on her hands,

Jin Ju almost died,

and got framed, darn it!

It's all my fault.

How can you say that?

If Jin Ju had gotten blood on her hands,

neither she nor you could've lived with yourselves.

She's right.

We barely have enough energy to fight them as it is.

Let's not waste it on self-blame and regret.

By the way, did you tell Min Jun to come here?

I sent him a message, but...

Min Jun.

You left so suddenly that I was worried.

Did you go see Choi Yu Na?

Yes. If I had my way,

I would've dragged her straight to the police station,

but I held back because saving Jin Ju comes first.

But because of that,

I found out that she was the one who hurt Deputy Chief Yun.

What?

Do you have any proof I did it?

Like you can do anything without any evidence.

The police said Baek Jin Ju's prints were on the hammer.

The person who tried to kill Deputy Chief Yun was Baek Jin Ju.

She knew Deputy Chief Yun was attacked with a hammer.

Then let's use this to turn Choi Yu Na in.

Wait a minute.

This alone isn't direct proof that Choi Yu Na did it.

She'll just claim she heard it from somewhere.

Jin Ju said she met with Oh Jung Ran.

Did you look into that?

They'd already gotten to the CCTV and the employees,

so it was useless.

We need Oh Jung Ran to testify,

but she has her terms.

She must've said she'd testify if we keep Hyun Jun's secret.

Right.

But I'm not going to let Oh Jung Ran play me.

If Choi Yu Na is the culprit,

I can turn Oh Jung Ran to my advantage.

(Bit Life President, Oh Jung Ran)

You look thrilled...

now that Park Hyun Jun is the chairman of Adele Group.

That's right.

I know this must be a bitter day for you,

but I'm happy.

If you want to stay that happy, you're going to have to shut me up.

That explains...

why you framed Jin Ju.

A good opportunity presented itself...

while we were handling Deputy Chief Yun.

I'll save Baek Jin Ju,

and in exchange, you keep quiet forever.

That'll be the deal.

That's not nearly enough.

I'm taking these DNA test results...

straight to Park Tae Ho.

Not this again.

You have to think about Baek Jin Ju.

Won't my testimony...

be enough?

No.

Choi Yu Na attacked Deputy Chief Yun...

and set up Jin Ju.

I want her behind bars instead.

If you want to keep me quiet, give me Choi Yu Na.

Is that really all it'll take?

You won't go back on your word later?

Do you think I'd break my promise?

Make up your mind fast.

Fine.

I'll do it. Who cares about Choi Yu Na anyway?

I couldn't care less if she gets thrown in prison.

Besides, Park Tae Ho and I didn't get our hands dirty on this one.

What's the point of handing Choi Yu Na over?

There's no proof.

I know,

but there's a witness.

Deputy Chief Yun is still alive.

So he needs a respirator?

It doesn't seem like he'll wake up easily.

That punk, Deputy Chief Yun,

knows Hyun Jun's secret.

We can't risk letting him live.

I'm willing to give up Choi Yu Na,

but there's no way I'm saving his life.

So you used Choi Yu Na...

to silence Deputy Chief Yun?

Even if she hadn't done it,

Park Tae Ho would've dealt with him anyway.

He wouldn't stop hounding us for money.

Anyway,

I won't cooperate in helping Deputy Chief Yun wake up.

There's nothing we can do about his condition.

While we wait for him to wake up,

we're working on catching Choi Yu Na.

So for now,

you're just using him?

Besides,

shouldn't you be far more concerned...

about shutting me up than Deputy Chief Yun?

For now,

you'll have to do exactly as I say.

Do exactly as you say?

I don't like the way you're putting it.

If you had asked for my help or cooperation,

I'd still be on the fence about it.

Don't get me wrong.

Choi Yu Na may be the one with blood on her hands,

but you and Park Tae Ho...

are just as guilty.

For Jin Ju's sake,

I'm just using your dirty hands.

I have no intention of joining forces with you.

If you ignore me,

I'll go to the press as well as Park Tae Ho.

So wait quietly, and do as you're told.

Aren't you just as desperate as me?

I need to weigh my options, so just you wait.

One day.

I'm giving you exactly one day, so make your choice fast.

That Kim Dan Hui. She never lets anything slide.

Either way,

whether Deputy Chief Yun makes it or not is still up in the air.

If I give Choi Yu Na up and reveal her crime,

could that shut Kim Dan Hui up?

You're an acquaintance?

Yes.

I heard what happened and was so worried...

that I had to stop by.

I thought this area had restricted visiting hours.

Yes, I know. I'll be leaving soon.

I just wanted to check on Deputy Chief Yun's condition.

What are the doctors saying?

Will he wake up?

I'm not really sure.

What's this for?

Don't think anything of it.

I wanted to thank you in advance for taking such good care of him.

All I ask in return is that you call me first when he wakes up.

He's really important to me, you see.

Then...

Please take good care of him.

Sure.

For goodness' sake.

The number you have called is...

Gosh. Why is it so hard to reach Jin Ju?

I was hoping to ask where Yu Na spent that money,

and what happened at the shareholders' meeting.

Then you should've called me instead.

When did you get here?

Baek Jin Ju this, Baek Jin Ju that.

If you had questions, you could've just called me instead.

Well, I trust her more than I trust you.

The Baek Jin Ju you trust so much?

She's been arrested after getting caught...

trying to commit murder.

What?

What... What are you talking about?

Jin Ju tried to kill someone?

Oh my, that can't be right. Something must be terribly wrong.

What could be so wrong with it?

Do you really know Baek Jin Ju that well?

You always doubt your own daughter,

so how can you blindly trust Baek Jin Ju?

Because she's Jin Ju.

The money for your father's life and his stocks?

While you were stealing all of it,

Jin Ju was the one who helped with the funeral and everything.

That same Baek Jin Ju...

is about to become a murderer and rot in prison.

Maybe you can go visit her sometime.

No way.

This can't be. It makes no sense.

Are you not even worried about me anymore?

Why don't you ever ask how I'm getting along...

at the chairman's house or what I've been up to?

If I did, you'd just throw a fit and say I'm nagging.

Forget it.

Park Hyun Jun is the chairman now, and we're getting married soon.

Just start preparing for my wedding.

Wait, a wedding?

Honestly. How can you think about a wedding...

when Jin Ju has been arrested?

What does she have to do with me?

I'm going to become a true member of the Adele family.

I'll be back for the rest of my things,

so know that.

What is that brat planning to do now?

My head's killing me.

Help... Help me.

It's all right.

Even if it hadn't been me,

Chairman Park would've taken care of him.

He was a dead man anyway.

If he dies before waking up,

Baek Jin Ju will end up a murderer.

Then everything will be completely over.

And I win.

What on earth is Hyun Jun thinking?

Can I just stay quiet like this?

Should I tell everyone...

and warn them to be wary of Hyun Jun?

But...

How does it feel to be the chairman?

Do you feel proud,

like you've been hoping for?

At the time, he clearly seemed to regret it.

That he didn't want to become like Park Tae Ho.

I thought he'd say that.

Hey, Jin Ju.

You made a deal with Oh Jung Ran concerning Choi Yu Na?

Yes.

In exchange for keeping Hyun Jun's secret, I made a deal.

I'm going to prove that Choi Yu Na attacked Deputy Chief Yun.

We'll start on it right away, so hang in there.

I'm doing fine. Actually...

Why? Is something wrong?

No. It's just...

Don't push yourself too hard because of me.

I should probably talk about Hyun Jun later.

By the way, did you eat breakfast?

Are you able to get any sleep?

I think you're having a harder time sleeping and eating than me, James.

How am I supposed...

to eat or sleep with you in here?

You still need to eat well and get some sleep.

How else will you have the strength to help me?

Besides, I've found something I can do in here.

What could you possibly do?

Since I'm in here with the police, I'm going to try and use them.

The police?

While you all go after Choi Yu Na on the outside,

I'll aim for Park Tae Ho from in here.

Hyun Jun.

Since you're starting as chairman today,

go in with a fresh mindset and do a great job.

As you prepare for the inauguration ceremony,

start by familiarizing yourself with the work.

Yes, Father.

I'll carefully review the work you've done...

and think about what I can do to contribute.

I'll help by his side.

Sure.

Yesterday, he stormed out like he was ready...

to give up the chairmanship.

Did he have a change of heart overnight?

That's right.

From now on, Hyun Jun, do whatever you want.

Because now, the Adele Group belongs to you.

What?

It belongs to him?

The Adele Group will always be yours, Father.

From now on, whenever I have to make a major decision,

I'll get your permission first.

Park Hyun Jun.

Becoming chairman has made you very thoughtful.

Good. Seeing that's how you feel,

I'm confident I can trust you with the company.

Ms. Choi.

I told you to check on Deputy Chief Yun's condition.

How is he?

It doesn't look like he'll wake up anytime soon.

I paid the caregiver just in case,

so she'll contact me right away if anything happens.

You paid his caregiver?

You won't need to worry about any problems with Deputy Chief Yun.

Please start planning the wedding so we can get married...

right after the inauguration.

I've earned the right to request that much, haven't I?

Sure.

After the inauguration.

Let's do it.

Hyun Jun.

Do you mean that?

It's what Father promised.

We have to follow through.

The position really does make the man.

Now that you're chairman,

I'm very impressed by how you conduct yourself.

Then I'll start preparing for the wedding.

Do it after the inauguration.

Hyun Jun.

Hyun Jun, are you really okay with this?

Yesterday, you acted as if you were giving it all up.

What made you change your mind?

Like you said, Mom,

this is the outcome I wanted.

That may be true about the chairmanship,

but what about the wedding?

Are you really okay with marrying Choi Yu Na?

Of course I'm not okay with it.

But it's what Father wants.

I have to force myself to do it for him.

Force yourself?

I'm off to work.

He's forcing himself?

Becoming chairman was our ultimate goal.

Why should he be forced into a marriage?

Right.

Choi Yu Na has to be eliminated.

Yes, it's me.

Choi Yu Na...

paid Deputy Chief Yun's caregiver for information.

Use that to take down Choi Yu Na.

Whatever you do, get it over with quickly.

What did Oh Jung Ran say?

She's decided to hand Choi Yu Na over.

Why am I not surprised?

There's no reason for her to protect Choi Yu Na.

Now we'll be able to prove Ms. Baek's innocence.

Then what are your plans for Adele Group?

Now that Park Hyun Jun is the chairman,

Park Tae Ho will still have just as much power.

We can't just give up like this, can we?

We must think of a way to take back Adele Group.

Of course.

Once we get Jin Ju out, we'll start over.

Jin Ju also said she isn't giving up.

She'll go after Park Tae Ho from inside her cell.

At the time of the incident, you said you were with Oh Jung Ran,

but you're not on the restaurant's CCTV footage.

Also, none of the restaurant employees...

remember seeing you.

Stop lying...

and just confess.

Because Deputy Chief Yun interfered with your father's case,

did you hold a grudge and try to kill him?

What on earth are you talking about?

I didn't even know...

that Deputy Chief Yun interfered with the investigation.

Did he really interfere with my father's investigation?

- That's... - It all comes down to motive,

and I had no idea he was interfering with the investigation.

That's all just what Choi Yu Na is claiming.

You should first check if that's what actually happened.

(Chairman Park Hyun Jun)

(Chairman Park Hyun Jun)

(Chairman Park Hyun Jun)

(Chairman Park Hyun Jun)

What do you want this time?

So...

you're choosing to keep that seat?

You told me to think about what I really wanted.

Thanks to you, I got my answer, so here I am.

By looking away when the woman you love has been wrongly arrested?

What are you planning to do in that position?

You should be saving the woman you love right now.

Jin Ju's locked up.

I need to get Jin Ju out as quickly as possible,

so I don't have time to fight with a guy like you.

I guess Park Min Jun...

will take care of Baek Jin Ju.

There's no reason for me to be concerned anymore.

Yes, Father.

The police?

I'll be right there.

What is this about?

Baek Jin Ju's motive hinges on Mr. Yun interfering with the case.

We're verifying if he really did obstruct it.

Chairman Park Tae Ho here was previously investigated for that.

We're here to confirm what happened at the time.

Oh, please. How would I know if the investigation was obstructed?

I was cleared of all charges and released.

We find that a little strange.

Despite Choi Sam Sik's solid audio evidence,

they let you go.

What? What are you getting at?

Father, please.

We're done here.

This feels like a leading interrogation,

and I'm not comfortable with it.

If you have any more questions, summon him formally.

Let's go.

Unbelievable.

Why are they digging up that old case again?

I know.

I sent them away for now, but this could be a problem.

The investigation we shut down by threatening Assemblyman Kwon...

could be reopened because of Baek Jin Ju.

Exactly.

I never thought things would get this complicated.

What if we use the slush fund ledger...

one more time?

What?

The slush fund ledger?

Ask Assemblyman Kwon to stop this investigation too.

Assemblyman Kwon again?

As long as we have the slush fund ledger,

he has no choice.

Now that I'm the chairman,

if you give me the safe's code like you promised,

I'll get the ledger and go meet him.

We need to wrap this up before the investigation gets out of hand.

(Garden Ceremony Hall)

(Caregiver)

Hello? Is something wrong?

The patient woke up.

He woke up?

He woke up, but he lost consciousness again.

The doctor said there's hope.

Anyway, I have to go now.

From now on, just say the same thing you just told her.

And don't mention us.

Of course.

I had no idea that woman tried to kill the patient.

I feel bad for taking her money.

I'll help you, just like you asked.

Right.

(Oh Jung Ran)

It's me.

I'm ready on my end. Go ahead.

(New Business Task Force Team)

Hey, Ms. Choi.

Where are you rushing off to?

The caregiver called. Deputy Chief Yun woke up.

What?

She said he woke up and then lost consciousness again,

so I'm heading over now.

What good will just going to see him do?

You have to handle the problem.

Do you have a plan?

Well...

I knew it.

- Hurry up and follow me. - You're coming with me?

We need to take care of Deputy Chief Yun again.

Do you think you can do it alone, unprepared?

If anything goes wrong, Hyun Jun's life will be ruined,

so of course I have to help.

Hurry up. Let's go.

Got it.

How did it go?

Luckily, I can take care of the CCTV footage.

I'll take care of everything else.

so go to his room and finish him off.

The caregiver is on a break, so no one will be there.

He's on a respirator,

so it'll be easy if you just handle that.

Can I really trust you?

I should be the one asking you that.

You couldn't even finish off Baek Jin Ju or Deputy Chief Yun.

But that's...

If Deputy Chief Yun wakes up, Hyun Jun's life will be ruined.

And so will yours.

Our lives depend on covering this up completely,

so quit doubting me and get moving.

All right.

Just make sure you take care of the CCTV.

If Choi Yu Na gets pinned for killing Deputy Chief Yun,

then even if I'm the one who secretly finishes him off,

she will take the fall.

Either way, I win.

Choi Yu Na.

I guess I won't be seeing you again.

You should've just died then and there.

Why did you have to wake up and cause so much trouble?

I've made Park Hyun Jun the chairman,

and I need to marry him soon.

So stop causing me trouble...

and just die already.

This time, I won't make any mistakes.

I'll finish you off in one go.

Choi Yu Na.

How are you two here?

Choi Yu Na.

We heard your confession loud and clear.

What?

It can't be...

That's right.

It was a trap,

and you're not getting away this time.

This can't be happening.

(Pearl in Red)

I have to get to Assemblyman Kwon before Park Tae Ho does.

Are you going to try to persuade Assemblyman Kwon?

I have to use this chance to get the slush fund ledger.

That's the only way I'll have any power.

No matter how hard you try to hide it,

the truth always comes out.

Shut it!

You still don't get it, do you?

You've already been abandoned.
