Kim Sang Ho, it's time for your final testimony.

Yes, Your Honour.

I'd like to say something too.

(Episode 118)

It probably would be over by now.

Yes, probably.

Min Soo just texted me.

In Sang Ho's case,

the prosecutor demanded a life sentence without parole.

I see.

The recommended sentence is too harsh.

I didn't kill anyone.

I didn't overthrow a government.

Pleading the Fifth and escaping police custody...

were instinctive acts of self-defence.

Even though I had a poor childhood,

I drove myself to only look ahead.

Papa Group was the first company I ever worked at...

and I devoted my life to it.

While others mocked me for living with my wife's family,

I still gave my everything to the Na family.

Years of hard work didn't matter because my father-in-law...

still belittled me and he even once demoted me.

Even so,

I worked for the group until the very last minute.

I aimed for the CEO position...

to break down outdated customs.

Was selling our recipe to Mama's...

your way of helping the company too?

Even until the very end, you have no shame.

My dream was to...

make Papa Group 1 of Korea's top 10 companies.

I've never once forgotten about that.

Maybe I was too blind in my ways...

and that led to bad decisions.

That's right.

If my devotion seems greedy,

I'll gladly be criticised.

If what I did was a crime, I'll gladly be punished.

However, whatever you decide,

a life sentence without parole is undeniably cruel.

Your Honour,

I would someday like the chance...

to achieve my dream of building an empire.

I'm only 45 years old.

I have too long to live to be locked up forever.

Please give me another chance.

For Papa Group and for this country,

I want the opportunity to fulfil my goals.

Please, Your Honour.

I plead you for leniency.

That concludes our first hearing.

We will announce our ruling in a week's time.

All rise.

I see Sang Ho hasn't changed.

He's still as shameless as ever.

He's a living proof...

that shows how people never change no matter what.

It wouldn't have come this far, if he was capable of change.

- We should get going. - Sure.

We'll meet you there.

The hearing's over, so we should go.

I'm sorry, but I'm not up for this.

I'd rather go home.

But Min Soo already booked the restaurant.

I'd like to go home and rest.

Is Sang Ho...

still on your mind?

This morning,

the kids seemed nervous about the hearing.

I should get back home to them.

I thought I had come to peace with everything,

but thinking about him sometimes makes...

the hair on my head stand.

Well... My marriage must have been that terrorising for me.

I feel like these past few months...

weren't even real.

Then you shouldn't be alone.

Surround yourself with others.

It's the best way to forget about the past.

I don't feel like I have the energy.

You must be worn out by this whole ordeal.

A good night's rest will surely help.

I'll see you at home.

Then let me at least join you.

No, there's no need to. Enjoy dinner with Min Soo and Mr Oh.

I'll head home with Dad.

Sure.

- Dad, let's head home. - Sure thing.

Sun Young,

did you hear about Sang Ho's hearing?

Yes.

Pleading the Fifth and escaping custody...

only made things worse for him.

Of course it did.

Let's go.

- Hello, Mr Oh. - Hello.

How did the hearing go?

Sang Ho didn't show any remorse even until the very end.

He claimed he was falsely charged.

Where's Sun Young?

She wasn't feeling good, so she went home.

Has she come down with something?

Sang Ho's been all over the news lately...

and his family history was at the centre of attention.

It took a toll on her and she's worried about the kids.

She severed ties with him by getting a divorce.

She doesn't need to feel bound.

I hope you can be a shoulder she can lean on,

so she can get through this.

Of course.

I think she's a little depressed.

She skips morning workouts randomly...

and spaces out during meetings.

Putting on a brave face for her father and kids...

must've taken a toll on her.

You're right. She had to hide how much this shook her.

These past few months have been depressing.

A life sentence without parole?

No way.

Does this mean we'll never see him again?

The prosecution normally demands a higher sentence...

and the judges are more lenient.

He'll still be locked up for a long time.

I see you're both here.

When did you get home?

A second ago. Come. Dinner's almost ready.

- Okay. - Sure.

Mum looks awful. I really hate Dad for what he did.

Do you still resent him that much?

I do feel bad for him, but I'm more upset than anything.

How could he lie to us that his mistress is our aunt?

Honestly, I feel sick just thinking about him.

Can you imagine how Mum must be feeling?

Anyway, let's go.

Mr Oh,

how do you feel about Sun Young?

I've been single for over 10 years now.

I thought it was in my cards to die as a single man.

However, I met Sun Young.

I don't know if it's because both our marriages failed,

but I began to care for her.

Sun Young is interested in you too.

She's right.

It's just that Sun Young's not ready to move on yet.

I was hoping that you could still keep on being by her side.

That you don't have to worry about.

I've already decided to be by her side forever.

That alone is more than enough.

Thank you.

It's my pleasure.

- Dad, please enjoy. - Sure, let's eat.

- Okay. - Enjoy, everyone.

Mum. When will Hae In and her grandma move in?

Tomorrow.

Really? That's great news.

Are you happy to have them here?

Yes, I love having a big family.

We have a big house, so it should be bustling.

I agree.

I'm glad too.

It's sad that she'll be leaving for London soon.

We'll see her when she gets back.

She can always visit during breaks.

Of course.

I'm happy to see you two fond of the idea.

It felt good to see him like that.

Yes, sure.

Think of what he's done to this company.

A life sentence without parole is a bargain if you ask me.

The ruling will be announced in a week's time.

That's right, so it'll be over soon.

Everyone does seem curious as to what his sentence will be.

I hear people talking among themselves.

I've never seen a CEO that is hated this much.

Do you finally see how wrong you were to trust him?

I was just following orders, Sir.

You heard Ms Shin in court today.

She also did as she was told.

It's why the betrayal hit her especially hard.

That I can relate to.

I bet Sang Ho is really anxious.

Of course.

Anyway, have a good weekend and I'll see you on Monday.

Even murderers aren't sentenced to life without parole.

It's not like I tore up a nation.

How could they demand such a severe sentence?

It's a life sentence without parole.

He must've gotten on their nerves.

Just look at him.

Can't you tell that he's nothing but annoying?

They must really hate him...

to have demanded life sentence without parole for his crimes.

He should kiss life goodbye.

Goodness.

Serves him right.

Welcome home.

Mr Oh was sad that you didn't join us today.

We should get together sometime again.

Sure.

Is your mother set to move in tomorrow?

Yes, she's still busy packing though.

She'll be here around noon.

The kids were ecstatic to have Hae In live with us.

You should get some rest then.

- Sure. - Good night.

- There you go. - I think we're good.

It's upsetting to leave the house I grew up in.

Don't be. I couldn't be happier.

What are the odds, right?

Just as you were about to move out,

Dae Pal returned with a pile of money.

It's because we're both lucky people.

Sure. You're right about that.

What's it like to live with your dad?

Do you really need to ask?

- Gosh. - Don't even get me started.

They're practically glued to the hip.

I feel like the third wheel in my own house...

which is unpleasant in so many ways.

Sons always side with their dads.

You had your time with Han Sol and now it's his turn.

He showed up after 20 years,

bought you a house and Han Sol a car.

He's Santa Claus in disguise, here with early Christmas gifts.

What? Sure. I guess you can say that.

- He bought you a car? - Yes.

No way! That's amazing.

We're taking it out for a spin with Ah Young next week.

Can you take me out too?

- Eun Hee. - Mum.

Come on in.

You said to just bring our clothes, so we did.

Good. The old furniture can be recycled.

I love the natural light.

- Me too. - It's nice.

Mother, welcome.

- Let me take that. - Thanks.

Thank you, Min Soo.

You both love flowers.

I thought it'd look good by the window.

Of course,

every time I see this, I promise to think of you.

Mum, let's head over to the main wing.

I made adzuki bean porridge.

We'll take care of meals by ourselves here,

so don't worry about us.

My family's all waiting for you.

I want to go and greet Ah Young and Ho Young.

- We should go then. - Sure.

Head over there first. We'll follow soon.

Sure.

Let's go.

- Father. - Yes?

- Hae In's here. - What?

- Hello, Sir. - Welcome, Hae In.

- Hae In. - Hi.

How have you been?

Your mother's made porridge, so ask your grandma over too.

- She'll be here soon. - Good.

It's nice and quiet...

and also pristine. This is amazing.

- All my wishes have come true. - Really?

All I wanted was to have you live with us.

Now...

everything will be done once...

Hae In is engaged and heads to London.

You know, we should visit...

your father's grave sometime.

He'd love to see you.

Sure.

Please enjoy.

Finally, the house is full and filled with energy.

I'm happy to be here. It's like being at a party.

Who made this porridge?

Who else but our resident chef?

It was Aunt Eun Hee.

We're eating this treat thanks to you moving in.

You know, we should have our year-end party here.

That we should.

What a great idea.

Hae In, when are you leaving for London?

In two weeks.

That soon?

I'm afraid so.

Be thorough with those.

In prison,

washing dishes is quite the privilege.

Of course.

Who are you trying to kid here?

Out in the real world, I would've stomped on you.

What gives you the right to lecture me?

It turns out that he has a knack for washing dishes.

Well, he should have at least one talent.

I still can't understand how it was possible though.

How on earth was he able to become Papa Group's CEO?

Once Ho Young enlists,

I'll transfer to the Europe branch.

Alone?

Yes.

Wouldn't it be best to make it a vacation first?

It's too much of a risk to suddenly take off...

when there's no promise of return.

It's not a risk. I was about to go anyway.

Besides, I really want this.

How long would you be staying in Europe?

At least three years.

Three years?

Don't hesitate to tell me if there's a problem.

I'm very comfortable here, so don't you worry.

I'll be over every morning and night to see you.

I'm happy just knowing that I'll see you every day.

Great. Well, good night then.

- Good night to you too. - Sure.

My gosh.

Thanks to you,

I can leave without worrying about my dad.

Ah Young's heading out to the States as an exchange student next year.

That's why I'll be going to Europe alone.

I want to focus on my work and forget about everything.

I think a change of scenery will help with that.

Of course.

You should come and visit.

Once you come to Paris, you'll sure be thanking me.

Where is Eun Hee going?

Have a seat, Min Soo.

- Bok Soon. - Oh my gosh!

Come on in.

- Have a seat. - Thanks.

Oh my.

I still can't believe that you're living within...

the same grounds as CEO Na.

If you think about it,

you're practically living under the same roof.

You didn't have to run over here at night.

I was too curious to get any work done...

so I came rushing over once I closed up.

Have you already unpacked?

There wasn't much to do.

We only had to bring our clothes.

Oh my.

I'm happy for you, Bok Soon.

Your life from this point on...

will be nothing but a path with rainbows and roses.

My luck doesn't even compare to you in that sense.

I know, right?

I still can't believe that it's true...

which is why I sometimes wake up to see if he's really there.

Are you finally sharing a bed again?

What?

We're not sleeping together.

I just glance over at his side when he's fast asleep.

Why do you need to glance?

You're a married couple, so cuddle each other in bed.

Gosh, don't say that.

Just thinking about that suffocates me.

Oh dear gosh.

- Are you blushing? - Oh my.

Is it hot in here?

Sun Young wants to work at the Europe branch for three years.

I have been planning it, so I think I should go.

What about Mr Oh?

What about him?

He sang to you about how he feels.

He likes you a lot. He really does.

I know he's a catch,

but I'd rather be single for a while.

If we're meant to be,

then we'd somehow get together later on.

Right now, I'm not ready to...

start a relationship with someone new.

(Europe)

(Papa Group)

- This is great news. - I absolutely agree.

Our new yogurt snack has out-sold the one Mama's released.

We're back to being at the top.

I owe it all to you and your devotion to the company.

Thank you. Now Mama's is sinking underwater.

You know, it worked out for the best.

If Sang Ho hadn't sold our recipe to them,

we would've been satisfied with the product we had.

Crisis is sometimes an opportunity in disguise.

Anyway, let's keep this momentum going.

Yes, Sir.

I heard you asked for me.

- Come on in. - Please have a seat.

I'm promoting you to Director of Production.

Thank you, Sir.

I highly recommended you for the job.

Thank you.

You're talented enough to rise up the ranks yourself.

You didn't have to be loyal to Sang Ho.

I'm sorry.

Mr Park has high hopes in terms of your ability to take initiative.

I look forward to great work from you both.

- Of course. - Sure thing.

Are you reading Dad's notes again?

Yes.

What did he write in there?

I read entries on your birthday and mine.

He was wondering what to get me.

I'm amazed at how a few lines touched you.

I'm seeing him in a different light.

What does that matter when he won't celebrate our birthdays again?

Don't hate him too much.

Everyone might turn their back on him,

but he's still our dad.

I erased him from my life the moment he got divorced.

I'd rather not think of him right now.

They say that hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.

I don't understand why she's even meaner than Mum.

I wasn't Dad's biggest fan, but I didn't resent him.

I'll be grateful...

for only losing a leg,

so please let me out of here.

Then I'll live my life in the way you want.

Sang Ho will be sentenced today.

- That's right. - Will you be going to court?

The members of the board have been waiting for this day.

I'll be going with Mr Park and Mr Choi.

I see.

I'll call when it's over.

Sure. We should get going now.

You over there. Why aren't you eating?

The judge is announcing his sentence today.

Is that so?

It seems like Mr Bravado is nervous to his core today.

How...

How much do you think I'll get?

I'm not a judge, so how would I know?

To be honest though,

the prosecution was cruel with its demand.

Out of all crimes,

I especially loathe fraud and embezzlement,

but a life sentence without parole is a bit harsh.

What did you dream of last night?

I was being chased.

That doesn't sound good.

Gosh.

Kim Sang Ho.

You may not have murdered anyone,

nor burned a nation to the ground,

but you still maliciously took advantage of everyone.

If the price for that were a few years in prison,

then life would be simple for us all.

(Court)

Today,

we've gathered to sentence the defendant Kim Sang Ho.

I had a hard time making this decision.

(The Defence)

A few days ago,

I received a petition letter.

The title read like so.

"The Man I Resented with All My Heart".

"Here I Speak of My Father".

Mr Kim, do you have...

any idea who wrote this?

She says that she wasn't able to call him her father.

It's Hae In.

What she wrote in her letter...

truly moved me.

Please don't be fooled.

She knows very well of the seriousness of his crimes.

That's why she never once begs me to...

reduce his sentence.

I'd like to read to you...

a paragraph from the letter that was particularly memorable.

Dad,

I love you and I respect you dearly.

I'm also grateful.

You're my real father. The father that...

first acknowledge me.

Someone who couldn't acknowledge Sang Ho as the father.

That's Hae In.

She wrote a petition without telling me.

She's been busy with everything. When did she have time to do it?

She doesn't owe him anything.

Let me read you the aforementioned paragraph.

"Your Honour."

"Please don't be lenient."

"My biological father..."

"deserves to be punished."

However, don't sentence him to one he doesn't deserve...

for he might end up forgetting what he did wrong.

I'd like him to be free someday...

so that I can...

ask him something.

I'd like to know...

if he ever regrets...

and feels remorse for what he did to everyone.

If he didn't repent in prison,

if he still doesn't regret his actions,

I'd like to be the one to make him learn.

Your Honour,

on that day from now,

one that's not too late or not to soon,

I'd like the chance...

to be able to talk to him about...

what it means to be a family.

That wouldn't be possible if he's sentenced to life without parole...

and that would be harsh on both of us.

Someday in the distant future,

I'd like him to finally apologise to me.

I'm...

off to study in Europe of the best way...

to help him open his eyes...

and see when and where he took the wrong turns in life.

I want him to feel sorry for his actions...

and deeply repent...

from within.

So in consideration to the writer of this petition...

and the defendant Kim Sang Ho,

I decided on the appropriate sentence to his crimes.

I hereby sentence Kim Sang Ho...

on charges regarding crimes of special circumstances.

Article 3, section 1, subsection 1,

crimes of fraud and embezzlement.

Article 4, crimes of illegal transfer of assets overseas.

Article 6, crimes of bribery.

He will be sentenced...

to 10 years in prison.

Also, he will be seized of all assets and funds...

raised on said conditions.

Now for Ms Shin Da Hee.

According to article 4 on charges...

regarding crimes of special circumstances,

I sentence her...

to 18 months in prison.

However, considering the fact that she has shown remorse...

and signs of regret regarding her actions...

as well as losing her leg in the process,

she will be allowed three years of probation instead.

Thank you.

10 years?

It's my dream to live a normal life.

Honestly, how stupid are you?

Don't call me that, you fuzz.

I hear that a promotion is due.

Amusing is how I'd describe her.

I'll take care of you and Mum.

(A son who's happy despite having less)

I'm curious as to what you'll want next.

Life is supposed to be unfair.

When did you get this scar?

Bring him to me now!

The CEO of TMO is looking for his son.

I'll take care of you and Mum both.

("I Am Sorry, but I Love You")
