Original subtitles

Hello. Are you going somewhere?

Yes. We're going for a walk.

Do you know her?

She's a dementia patient across the hall from our aunt.

She's so young.

What a shame.

What's wrong, Mi Hyang?

Oh no.

Oh my gosh. What's wrong?

It's okay, Mi Hyang. It's okay.

Mi Hyang. Did you recognize Cho Yoon Kyung?

No. I didn't do it.

I... I didn't do it.

I'm sorry.

Please forgive me.

Oh my gosh.

You didn't do it, Mi Hyang.

We know.

Then who did it?

Who did it?

Who did the bad thing?

("To Me, Sharing is Another Form of Growth")

Seo Eun Ha?

Is she...

pointing to that picture of Eun Ha?

I'm not sure.

Mi Hyang.

Are you pointing at Seo Eun Ha?

So she did do a bad thing.

Okay, then.

She must have a bad memory.

Let's go.

Okay.

I don't think we should tell Dr. Seo that we came here.

Why not?

She doesn't like talking about the nursing home.

Right? You felt it too, right?

I don't know what's wrong with her.

Speak of the devil. It's her.

Hello?

Where are you?

Out.

Where?

I'm shopping.

Okay.

Let's grab coffee at Pandora if you have time.

Sure. See you in two hours.

She wants to get coffee at Pandora.

Join us.

Sure.

I'm a terrible liar, aren't I?

Not at all. Go first.

- I'll be right behind you. - Okay.

(Mother's name: Cha Mi Yun)

What about my baby?

Can my baby die too?

Mi Hyang.

It's me, Mi Yun.

It's okay, Mi Hyang.

Look up.

Am I making you suffer?

But I really want to know...

how my baby died,

and what bad thing Seo Eun Ha did.

You're miserable too, aren't you?

You're miserable too, because of the secret...

from 30 years ago that you couldn't tell me, right?

So please...

Please help me.

And let's get out of here instead of being trapped here.

Mi Hyang, please.

I'll protect you from Seo Eun Ha.

You can trust me.

I'm not the stupid Cha Mi Yun from the past.

You need to go. It's time for rounds.

Mi Hyang.

I'll be back.

I'm sorry.

Mi Yun.

I'm sorry.

Why did you go there without me,

and why are you lying about it?

As long as they don't see Ms. Sul.

Did you ask her about Cho Yoon Kyung?

No.

I couldn't ask her about her.

Mi Hyang isn't well, so I'm a bit cautious.

To be honest,

I want to demand to know what Seo Eun Ha's secret is,

but there must be a reason why she's so tormented.

One thing is for sure.

Seo Eun Ha did something wrong...

related to my baby's death,

and Mi Hyang knows about it.

That's why Seo Eun Ha did that to her.

If she did get upset earlier because she saw Cho Yoon Kyung,

why do you think that is?

I can't figure that out.

What is Seo Eun Ha hiding from her?

I'll have to keep making Mi Hyang...

and Cho Yoon Kyung see each other.

Mr. Koo.

Nora Fashion sent a notice terminating the contract.

What?

They'll take all authority over the detox line?

They even sent a certification of contents.

- Call the head of legal. - Yes, sir.

What do you mean, we may lose the detox line?

Because of the defective fabric.

I saw the head of legal rushing into the marketing office.

It says we forfeit all authority upon violating the contract,

so there's no way around it.

Then what? We need to hand it all over?

Persuading Mr. Kang is the only way.

I'll meet with him.

I'll report to the chairman when I get back.

Yes, sir.

What's going on?

The phone has been turned off.

Mr. Kang turned off his phone.

He's avoiding us. The three of them are colluding.

Call Jennis over and demand she stop this.

We'll look like fools if we act only based on our gut feeling.

We can't just sit back and watch.

I'll take it up with her.

Here she comes.

Mr. Kang is terminating the detox line contract.

You knew, didn't you?

What do you mean, he'll terminate the contract?

Look at her play dumb.

Hey, Mr. Yoon.

Ms. Hong.

Come to my office.

Why that little...

Is this what you guys were after?

You're still being rude.

Weren't you taught manners?

And don't aggravate Jennis.

The three of you are behind this... Ma'am.

Bring proof before you say things like that.

You're the one who proposed the detox line,

so you should be the one to take responsibility too.

Give me a break.

Why should I take responsibility?

You stole their intellectual property.

If it is proven that the invention was stolen,

the thief should take responsibility.

Stole what? Do you have proof?

How dare you try to dump it on me?

Dump it on you? Who?

How would I know?

I guess just denying it always worked until now.

Going forward, provide evidence.

And shut that mouth.

Don't worry about my mouth. Worry about yourself.

Your identity will be revealed soon and you'll be kicked out.

Call a board meeting.

Don't let the owners know.

Who says he can terminate the contract?

He's the one who begged us for the joint-development contract.

Are they trying to destroy our company or something?

Call Jennis here right now.

I already asked her.

She's a pro at denying it.

True.

She must have prepared thoroughly to stab us in the back.

She looks like she'll prove that we stole the detox technology.

What?

What if that gets out?

We'll just have to deny it.

Delete all the detox material that we had copied.

Right now.

Send me all the documents on the detox line,

and delete everything you have on your computers.

Right now?

Hurry.

Yes, ma'am.

What's taking her so long?

Are the two of them planning something behind my back?

Sorry we're late.

How are you coming together?

We met out front.

She's lying again.

Where did you go?

I went to visit my aunt at the nursing home.

What did you buy?

I was just window shopping.

Lies after lies.

Hello? Hi, Se Ra. What's up?

What do you mean?

Why would we lose the detox line?

I just thought you should know.

I'll call you back.

Hey, Hae Joon. Did you see Mr. Kang?

No, I couldn't.

They say he went to China on business, but I think it's a lie.

What's this? Is the board meeting today?

Father.

The board members were gathering in the conference room.

Did you call a meeting?

What meeting?

I think Jennis rounded them up.

What?

We already heard about the invention matter after the hostage situation.

You want us to believe that now?

How could you call a meeting based solely on suspicion?

The company isn't a joke.

I'll show you proof soon.

We just have to verify them.

- Goodness. - What is she talking about?

- Is she serious? - Gosh.

What happens if it's true?

We need a contingency plan.

Why is the detox line such a troublemaker?

- Step aside. - You can't go in.

The meeting is for chief directors and up.

Step aside while I'm being nice.

Go back while I'm being nice.

Shouldn't the owner's family take responsibility...

and step down?

Of course.

This isn't the first time they caused the company harm.

What are you doing behind the chairman's back?

There's proof that we stole someone's intellectual property.

Nothing has been proven yet!

Don't dance to Jennis' tune!

You sound like I'm instigating.

Let's promise the directors now.

If it's proven that we did in fact steal,

the owner's family should take responsibility and step down,

be it you or Chairman Koo.

- What will he say? - She's right.

- Unbelievable. - Goodness.

Answer me.

Fine.

But if we prove the connection to you and your brother,

you must leave. Forever.

What?

What do you mean? What connection?

A connection with Nora Fashion?

Fine.

If it's proven that I'm connected to them,

I will step down as well.

Forever.

Why are they bringing that up again?

It was resolved after the hostage situation.

My point exactly.

We already received Chairman Wang's investment.

What kind of a contract did Hae Joon sign?

Oh no. What if our clinic is accused...

of violating the contract too?

Are you blaming Hae Joon right now?

Se Ra was the one in charge of the fabric.

The chief director and the chairman are the ones in charge overall.

The person who did it should take responsibility.

She was investigated recently for the fabric problem.

When are they going to finish the investigation?

What? Do you hope Se Ra gets disciplined?

You complained first that Hae Joon messed up the contract.

You should think of a solution, not point fingers.

Superiors are supposed to fix problems.

You are a terrible person.

Please calm down.

As an investor,

I'm at a loss as well.

We should've vetted the matter when Jennis brought it up.

I think I trusted J Group too much.

We'll make sure you're not harmed by this.

Don't worry.

Of course.

I need to get to the company.

I need to know what's going on, so the clinic can take action.

I need to go too.

I'll call you.

You should go.

What is this, a rebellion? How dare you meet in secret?

Did you just say "Rebellion"?

If you band together without the chairman's knowledge,

that's a rebellion!

What's important isn't a rebellion,

but the theft of intellectual property.

Theft?

We must know the truth about the detox line.

We want that as well.

Please wait patiently until we have the result.

That's right! Wait!

Until we have the result!

You must step down as chairman...

if the result is not in your favor.

What?

Okay, then. We'll end the meeting now.

The owner's family will step down if it's proven we stole?

Who are you to say that? How dare you?

If we need to be held accountable, we should be.

Be honest with me.

Did we steal that technology?

I told you over and over that we did not!

Se Ra invented it.

That's right. I invented it with my team.

You can't trust your dad or your fiancee.

Do you still trust Jennis?

Did you meet with Mr. Kang?

He went into hiding.

The employees won't talk either.

See? That jerk is hiding because he has something to hide.

Be honest with me.

If I lose my trust in you, I don't know what I'll do.

What do you mean?

Are you threatening me?

I'm saying we must be honest with each other.

I need to know the truth so I can decide what to do.

We fell into Jennis' trap.

Suspect her first before you suspect Father and me.

Do you have documents to prove we developed the detox line...

ourselves?

Why must we prove it?

Jennis should prove it. She's the one accusing us.

The owner's family will take responsibility?

Koo Jae Myung will never.

He's probably thinking of a way to save his own skin right now.

Still, Hae Joon is his son. Wouldn't he save him?

No. He'll do anything to save himself.

He kills people without blinking.

I don't get it.

As a father or as a human being.

You think too highly of people.

Some people are pure evil.

Hello, Chairman Koo.

Are you free for dinner?

Dinner?

Yes, I understand.

I'll see you later.

She must want to discuss the detox line contract termination.

I'm losing my mind.

Dr. Seo is trying to blame you for signing a bad contract.

Don't you take responsibility for this.

Hae Joon?

Go home first.

I need to work.

Okay.

This isn't your fault,

so don't say you'll take responsibility, okay?

I should take responsibility if I have to.

No.

What happens if we get caught?

We knew nothing about it.

Even if they have proof, deny it.

Either Jae Myung or Hae Joon will take responsibility.

I'll make sure of it. Got that?

Hae Joon did nothing wrong.

Get it together.

It's bad enough you took the fall for the defective fabric.

You may die yourself while trying to save Hae Joon.

Just in case there's a problem,

Hae Joon can take responsibility since he signed off on it.

Bring me all the documents on the detox line.

Don't let Ms. Hong know.

Ms. Hong took all the documents,

and we deleted everything on our computers.

When?

Did Ms. Hong order it?

Did Product Development invent the detox line?

Ms. Hong gave us the technology.

All we did was participate in adjusting the ratio.

You may go.

Why are you talking to someone from Product Development?

Do you suspect Se Ra too?

I'm checking the facts because I don't want to.

You promised to protect her.

You remember that, right?

Make sure to keep that promise.

That's what I came to say.

You know, don't you?

What I know is,

Se Ra is innocent.

You stole someone else's intellectual property?

I'm inclined to withdraw my investment right now.

We were framed.

We wouldn't do such a thing.

It's a crime to steal.

You know that, and yet...

You know the more you steal, the better you get.

Pardon?

It may have been a mistake, so I'll let it slide.

However,

cut the detox line loose.

This is top secret,

but I think Jennis is connected to Nora Fashion.

They schemed and came to take over J Group.

Do you have proof?

We're still looking.

It's a lie that we stole their intellectual property.

J Group did nothing to be ashamed of.

Will you say it's a lie...

even after you hear this?

(Audio file)

The chairman knows...

you gave us the detox technology.

If you tell anyone, the chairman will go after you.

You understand what I mean, don't you?

Of course.

I'm leaving the country within the month.

What... What is this?

That was Hong Se Ra and Nora's former employee.

It's evidence...

that you ordered her to steal the detox technology.

I did not! That was fabricated.

Why would Se Ra say that?

Where did you get this?

Someone sent it to me.

Who sent you this garbage?

Cut the detox line loose...

and focus on the fashion park.

I'll help you.

If I forfeit the detox line,

the owner's family must step down.

You can step down briefly and get reinstated.

Jennis did it. Why can't you?

Me?

Father or son. One of you must take responsibility.

That's the only way things will quiet down.

Tell the board that if the fashion park is successful,

it'll bring in much great profits in the long run...

than the detox line.

If things go wrong now,

it may hurt the fashion park as well.

As an investor,

I'm feeling the limit.

Okay.

I understand.

I'll try to persuade them.

Jae Myung ordered it?

He hounded Se Ra to develop something new.

I only gave him the idea.

Jae Myung is the one who stole it.

What about Se Ra?

It was her project.

Don't worry.

I made sure she wouldn't be harmed.

What did the adults do with a kid?

What about you? How blameless are you?

You have no right to say that.

I did all of this for Se Ra.

Not the clinic?

Whether it's for Se Ra or the clinic,

it's for our family.

So...

don't act all blameless by yourself.

Jae Myung started it.

The one who started it should end it.

You sacrificed an innocent person with the same scheme in the past.

Old habits die hard.

We never should've gotten involved with Jae Myung.

Stop saying the obvious.

As long as we get Carry on our side.

Is there a guarantee that Carry is on our side?

If I lose my trust in you, I don't know what I'll do.

Should I have been honest with him?

Hae Joon may understand me.

Even if they have proof, deny it.

Either Jae Myung or Hae Joon will take responsibility.

I'll make sure of it. Got that?

No. I can't let Hae Joon take the fall.

I'll tell him the truth tomorrow.

Ms. Hong gave us the technology.

All we did was participate in adjusting the ratio.

If Se Ra lied to me...

(Jennis)

What is it?

Can you show me the proof that we stole the detox technology?

Will you believe me if I do?

I will, if it's believable.

Hello?

Are you ready to take responsibility as the owner's family?

Yes.

I'll show it to you at the office tomorrow.

Goodbye.

Okay.

Mother.

You think I'll crumble here, don't you?

Not a chance.

I will not crumble. Never.

At least for my little boy's sake,

I will not step down from here.

I'll hang on as much as I can...

and leave this company...

to my little boy.

However,

your grandson will have to make a sacrifice...

as I had to before.

As the chairman, I am concerned about the current situation.

We, a fashion company,

which must have a clean and transparent image,

is being accused...

of the unethical act of stealing technology.

(Emergency Board Meeting)

I believe it is my duty and role as chairman...

to investigate the matter thoroughly and transparently.

Thus, after much consideration,

I've made this decision...

which breaks my heart.

That is why...

I am sharing this document.

What is it?

(Nora Fashion's Patent, J Group's Patent)

It's this.

(Nora Fashion's Patent, J Group's Patent)

Documents on the detox fabric technology...

stolen from Nora Fashion.

- Who stole it? - We really did steal it?

Who stole it?

What's going on here?

I'm speechless.

- This is outrageous. - We really stole it?

My gosh.

If you tell anyone you gave us the detox technology,

you and our company are done for.

You understand what I mean, don't you?

Of course.

I'm leaving the country within the month.

With that much money,

you should never have to return to Korea again.

I never knew...

I'd have to say this myself.

The technology...

was stolen by Koo Hae Joon and Hong Se Ra. The two of them...

did it together.

Of all the...

My gosh.

I can't believe it.

As the owner of the company,

and as Koo Hae Joon's father,

I feel equally as responsible.

Thus,

I ask the board...

to punish the two of them accordingly.

(Gracious Revenge)

You're talking again, so why won't you talk?

Do you remember?

How could he do this to us?

Father made me do it.

Is it because I'm not really his son?

Are you arguing with me?

Is this what you guys were after?

Destroying J Group's heir?

You and Chairman Koo are the ones who destroyed him, not I.

You two and your mom.

How dare you lecture me? How dare you threaten me?

Do you think you're omnipotent because Chairman Wang has your back?

Do you still have feelings for Jennis?

Based on the evidence I have,

the chairman was an accomplice as well.
