[Episode 126]

An emergency director's meeting?

Vice-president Park has called for an executive meeting?

I was getting suspicious of him,

and I discovered that he called for an emergency meeting.

Then he's trying to dismiss you from your position as Chairman?

You haven't responded to any of the media,

so he thinks this is an opportunity for him.

What are you doing?

I think I should get going.

You can't, Chairman.

With your damaged cornea,

the doctor maintained that you need your rest.

Jung-im...

And if you show up at the meeting looking like this,

you'll end up helping the other side.

Hyun-sung Park will surely bring up your health as the issue.

Then the situation will be harder to manage.

But I can't stand by and do nothing!

I'm not telling you to stand by and do nothing.

I'm suggesting that we think of another way.

Do you have a plan in mind?

Chairman, how about we do this...?

What's going on here?

Where are all of the executives?

Director Kim, it's Hyun-sung Park.

Where are you now? The director's meeting...

What?

It's been cancelled?

Who was the one who cancelled the meeting?

I cancelled the meeting.

Jung-im Han.

Jung-im, who do you think you are...?

I have been assigned the Chairman's power of attorney,

and I'll be serving as his agent.

Nonsense!

You're the Chairman's agent?

Says who?

It's the Chairman's order.

Even if the order's coming directly from him,

he can't assign that position to just anyone.

Jung-im Han, do you think I'll allow you to take that position?

I don't think you'll have a choice.

You can check it if you'd like.

Inside are the documents that give me authority on behalf of the Chairman.

These papers mean nothing!

Don't make me laugh! I can't accept this!

What can you do about it?

I'm not here to ask for your permission.

I'm simply giving you the facts.

What?

And there's no need to shred that...

because it's only a copy.

I'll send you copies of the documents to your office.

Oh, and the next time we meet,

I ask that you address me with respect.

If you disrespect me,

it's the same thing as disrespecting the Chairman himself.

Joon-tae Do has fooled us.

He already called each of the directors to tell them that he's doing okay.

But none of them actually saw him in person.

Even if they haven't,

as long as they believe that Joon-tae's okay,

nobody will oppose him.

Joon-tae found out about the meeting...

but couldn't show up himself and sent Jung-im instead...

There's a reason he did that.

You're saying that he's not up to something,

and that he had no other choice?

We can't discount the possibility.

Either way, we'll have to uncover his true condition.

That is what's most important to us.

Thank you for following through, Director Kang.

Sure, I understand your concerns.

But I have my reasons for appointing Jung-im Han as my agent,

and I ask that you trust me.

Please make sure no one blindly follows any floating rumors.

Of course.

I will make sure that you're repaid for the loyalty you've shown me today.

Yes, alright.

That's the last of the directors.

Did you receive any word from Jung-im Han?

She told me that she cancelled the meeting...

and that she's heading to your office now.

Begin by briefing me on the businesses in process...

and the businesses that are in review.

I understand.

But...

can you describe the Chairman's current condition to me?

I've always been by his side,

and I'm starting to worry about him.

As you already know from speaking with him over the phone, he's doing fine.

The Chairman is planning something personal,

which is why he assigned me as his agent.

Please be patient, you'll see how he's doing very soon.

Who's the Chairman's agent?

Director Jung-im Han?

The emergency meeting was cancelled for that reason.

What kind of nonsense is this?

Wait.

If that really happened,

Hae-bin probably blew a gasket!

Manager Jang, follow me.

What's this? So is it really true?

I'll need you to track Jung-im's movements.

Are the rumors really true?

So the Chairman's agent is really...?

Yea, you're right.

It's Jung-im Han.

How can this be...?

Joon-tae Do personally assigned her his power of attorney.

Then it must also be true that he's in bad condition.

We don't know for sure.

It seems like Joon-tae's hiding something,

but we can't be sure.

So I want you to follow Jung-im around to find out.

Jung-im doesn't suspect you like she does me.

I guess so, but...

That's why I came to you.

I want you to track Hae-bin's movements and let me know.

Will you do it?

You're the only one I can depend on, am I right?

What's going on here?

What does everyone want from me?

Why won't you respond?

Are you refusing?

No, it's not that...

[We're beginning now.]

Anyways, you can leave now.

Let me know if you discover anything about Jung-im.

Alright.

It's me.

I got a call from the detective agency.

They're going to start looking into hospital staff...

that can provide us with information on Joon-tae's condition.

Yea, alright.

How are you, Vice-president?

Aren't you in the office right now?

I'm headed to the Chairman's office.

Why are you going there?

Why else?

Jung-im asked you to meet her there?

You don't have anything else to report?

I'm hanging up.

Jung-im thinks she's the Chairman or something now!

Who does she think she is?

It's me, Chairman.

I heard that the meeting was successfully cancelled.

I've already spoken with the directors,

so you won't get any resistance from them.

Hae-bin and Hyun-sung are our problems.

I doubt that they'll give up.

You're probably right.

I'm sorry for leaving you with such a big responsibility.

I would've faced the both of them regardless of the situation.

This is my fight as well.

Vice-president Hyun-sung Park is here.

Tell him to come on in.

Yes.

Please come on inside.

You asked to see me...

Yes, that's right.

I'm sifting through the most urgent pending approvals.

One moment.

Yes.

Then I'll organize them, and bring it to the hospital later tonight.

Yes, I understand.

I'm sorry that you had to wait.

Please sit down. Let's sit down and talk.

What business do you have with me?

I have a favor to ask of you.

A favor?

Yes.

Although the final decision still lies with the Chairman,

I thought I may need your help...

to fill the Chairman's shoes while he's away.

So you want me to help you to do your job as the Chairman's agent?

You know more about the operations in the company than anyone else.

Am I wrong?

Then I'll trust that you'll help me.

Jung-im Han, how dare you...?

What's this I hear about Jung-im being the Chairman's agent?

It's exactly how it sounds.

Jung-im Han cancelled the emergency meeting...

and showed up as the Chairman's agent.

She's bent on bringing us down.

Not only did she burn our father's will,

she's joining Joon-tae in order to bring me...

No, she's trying to bring us down.

I can't let her get away with this.

I'll teach her not to face me ever again.

She's not in the office?

Did she go someplace far?

No, she'll be back soon.

If this is urgent, would you like me to contact her?

No.

I can wait for her in her office.

I'll let you know when the director returns.

Okay.

Jung-im Han.

Do you have something to say to me?

What are you planning?

Planning what?

What do you plan to achieve by coming into this company?

I'm sure you're not here to temporarily take Joon-tae's place.

You laugh?

If you figured that out,

isn't it obvious what I'm about to do next?

Why do you think I'm leaving you alone,

when you tried to kill me?

Tried to kill you?

Who did?

My car accident.

You know who caused the accident.

That accident was your fault.

I think you may have hit your head, but that accident was definitely...

It was definitely your fault.

And I also know that you destroyed all of the evidence,

so it's going to be hard to lock you up.

So I'm choosing to go about it in another way.

Do you know why I joined this company?

What do you suppose I'm planning?

I'm going to crush you and Hyun-sung Park.

I'm bringing the both of you down.

So you can look forward to it.

What do you think you can accomplish?

I guess you'll find out.

I'll show you what I can do.

What is it, Mom?

What happened?

Did the meeting go well?

Did you drive Joon-tae out of the company?

We didn't drive anyone out!

I'm so angry because of that!

Why?

Did something go wrong?

Jung-im's acting like Joon-tae's agent now!

What are you saying?

Jung-im is Joon-tae's agent?

I'm not in the mood to explain everything to you right now.

Hey, since you brought it up, you should give me details...

Hello? Hello...

Hae-bin?

That girl and her temper!

If she's Joon-tae's agent,

is she the interim Chairman right now?

What?

My goodness...

What are you talking about?

Quit sneaking up on me!

What did I overhear just now?

What did you overhear?

You were talking about So-yoon's mother...

being the interim Chairman or something.

What does the interim Chairman do?

Why?

Do you think you'll benefit from the fact...

that your old daughter-in-law is now the acting Chairman?

I overheard you talking, and I got curious.

What's so wrong with that?

Since you work here,

you should let things go in one ear and out the other!

If I had it my way,

I'd fire you on the spot, but I feel sorry for you.

Hey, what?

Feel sorry for me?

Judging from the situation,

it seems as if So-yoon's mother is starting to get back at them.

That's great!

It makes me feel great as well!

Jung-im really said that to you?

She said that she was going to crush you and me.

She admitted that she joined our company in order to bring us down.

She's not hiding the fact that she's sharpening her blade?

We need to get rid of her, no matter what the cost.

I can't bear to watch her continue to act like she owns this company.

I'm trying to find out why she was pointed...

as the agent in the first place,

but it's going to be hard to fire her legally.

Then do we have no choice but to let her walk around as the interim Chairman?

Of course not.

We may not be able to get rid of her through the company,

but we can find other ways.

What the...?

Yes, Madam.

Do you have another painting you need?

Oh, that painting?

Of course.

We can make it identical to the original.

Yes, I understand.

Think about it and then let me know.

Yes.

I'll give this to Mom.

And I'll buy a new bag for myself with this.

I'll have to show up at the meetings during times like these.

It's the only way I'll be any help to Hae-bin.

Yea, Mrs. Oh.

I was on my way out now.

What?

Chief Jang's been selling paintings on the side?

What are you talking about?

Ok-ja.

I thought it would go bad...

I'm taking it home because I didn't want it to go to waste.

You thought it would go bad?

It's obvious that you're stealing food.

Is that the best excuse you can think of?

I was wondering who Chief Jang took after,

and it was you all along!

Why did she have to bring up Mi-young in this situation?

Why, that...!

Your daughter gets her rotten personality from you, too!

Who's doing what?

Chief Jang is selling paintings on the side.

She learned the operation from us,

and she set up her own enterprise like we used to do.

Chief Jang's smarter than I thought.

According to Mrs. Oh,

it's a secret going among the ladies.

Those loudmouth women can't keep a secret!

If it already reached your ears,

you can be sure that the whole world knows about it.

Shouldn't we handle Chief Jang before this gets out of hand?

If she gets caught,

she might end up uncovering what we did in the past.

We might end up getting burned.

We can direct the flame toward another direction.

Little foal.

Yes, Teacher.

About the man you let me talk to over the phone...

Do you want to see the Chairman?

Is that man doing alright?

Is he still crying?

If he cries again,

tell him that it's okay,

like this.

Okay?

Yes, Teacher.

So that's my condition at the moment?

Yes, according to the test results.

I'll ask that you keep my condition a secret from others.

Of course.

I will not inform anyone of your condition,

other than your fiance...

I'm asking that you keep this from her as well.

Yes, I understand.

Your fiance has arrived.

I'll be on my way.

What did the doctor say?

He would like to continue to monitor me.

Is everything well at the company?

Yes.

These documents need your approval.

I gave you my responsibility because I had no other choice,

but it's making me nervous.

Hae-bin and Vice-president Park will attack you in order to get to me.

They won't hold back in order to get rid of you.

I won't ask you why you're doing something so dangerous.

But I'm worried about you.

Hyun-woo.

In order to bring you down,

there's no telling what my sister-in-law and my brother will do.

So please be careful.

Are you sure you can handle this?

It's not too late to...

I'm fine, Chairman.

Don't worry about me.

But...

It has already begun.

I'm not giving up now.

Hyun-sung Park and Hae-bin Do won't be bothering us again.

Because I'm going to punish them.

What brings you here? Are you here to see me?

We need to talk.

Talk about what?

You want to send Chief Jang to the prosecutor's office?

Yea.

I've already framed Jung-im...

for the corruption that Chief Jang is currently involved in.

Chief Jang simply has to carry the evidence to the prosecution's office.

You want to take down Jung-im with the gallery's corruption?

Can you think of a better way?

You talk to Chief Jang.

If she finds out that I'm involved, she might not want to help us.

And she normally does everything you tell her to do.

Tell her to do this.

What did you want to talk about?

I have something you need to do for me.

Do something for you?

Yea.

I need something from you.

Will you do as I tell you?

What's this about?

Hyun-sung, it's me.

Yea, Mi-young.

Are you prepared?

I'm in front of the prosecutor's office,

but I'm scared.

I don't think I can do this.

I've already explained this to you.

Nothing will happen to you.

What if they find out that I'm behind the corruption?

That won't happen.

Because Jung-im was involved in the corruption, not you.

I gave you all the evidence you need.

What if something turns up in the investigation?

I'm afraid something will go wrong, Hyun-sung.

Don't worry.

You can depend on me.

Do you think I'll abandon you?

Mi-young, just do as I tell you.

Then nothing will happen.

Do you trust me?

Yea.

Alright.

I trust you,

so I'll do as you say.

Yea.

If you burn that, I'll kill you myself!

Oh, and the next time we meet,

I ask that you address me with respect.

If you disrespect me,

it's the same thing as disrespecting the Chairman himself.

You asked to see me...

Yes, that's right.

One moment.

Then I'll organize them, and bring it to the hospital later tonight.

Jung-im Han, your time is over.

The Vice-president and Director Hae-bin Do are waiting for you inside.

Really?

What are the two of you doing here?

I need the Chairman's approval on this,

and I'm hoping you can deliver it to him.

I'm here because I want to speak with my brother.

I tried visiting him,

but the guard won't let me through.

I'll take this to the Chairman.

And tell me if you have anything to say to the Chairman.

I'll be sure he gets the message.

But I want to talk to him personally.

If you can't tell me,

I'm sure that the Chairman won't be interested either.

What?

We received a call from the prosecutor's office.

The prosecutor's office?

They need to question you for an investigation.

Question you for an investigation?

Did you commit some kind of crime?

Connect me to them.

I'll talk to them personally.

Yes.

Yes, hello.

Yes, this is Jung-im Han.

Yes, I'm the director of the Baekgang Gallery.

What's this about?

What did you say?

A whistleblower regarding the corruption in the art gallery?

I understand.

I'll be there for the investigation tomorrow.

[Subtitles provided by MBC]

[Preview]

We should be able to get rid of Jung-im Han with this.

I'm getting in touch with the other directors.

The executives on Joon-tae's side are refusing to budge.

This isn't my fault, it's hers.

I don't have to feel guilty.

I'm going to show everyone that I won't fall for it like I did two years ago.

You're under arrest, Mi-young Jang.

Wait, this can't be!

There's been a mistake!

Hyun-sung! Hyun-sung!

This is a trap!

I've been set-up!

This is unjust!
