[Episode 30]

Were you maintaining these accounts, Attorney Cha?

Yes.

With the director's instructions,

I've managed these accounts for her.

What did you say?

Cha Gun-woo, stop with your lies!

Director Hong would never embezzle money from the company.

Stop trying to frame her for this!

I'm only telling you the truth.

Jin Song-ah, you don't know the truth about your mother.

My daughter would never tell a lie.

You're the one who's lying, Cha Gun-woo!

Director, I'm sorry.

I should've remained loyal to you,

but my conscience wouldn't allow it.

Director Hong Jung-wook!

Did you want Attorney Cha as your son-in-law...

for the purposes of stealing from the company?

Tell them it isn't so!

Tell them the truth!

I've already told you the truth.

You and the director are the only ones refusing to believe me.

Director, please admit to it.

Forgetting about it won't clear your conscience!

What did you say?

Mom! Mom...

Let's have a meeting.

Completely unbelievable!

What in the world...?

What's the matter with you?

The role-model of all young businesswomen, Director Hong,

was found to be stealing from the company!

Oh, my.

I've always respected Director Hong.

I feel like I've been lied to.

The charismatic Director Hong really did that?

You can never know with people these days...

I'm having a hard time believing this.

Not to mention,

Jin Song-ah must be taking this hard as well.

Give that to me.

We can drink together to celebrate,

or not at all.

Stop blaming yourself.

There's nothing more important in life than survival.

I've hurt someone in order to save myself.

So would you have sacrificed yourself to allow her to live?

Have you forgotten that she'd always looked down on you?

Even if you had become her son-in-law,

nothing would've changed for you.

Being loyal to the chairman makes more sense...

than being the director's lapdog.

Se-na...

Is this all that we amount to?

Stop your whining!

We had no other choice!

It was the only way.

Mom.

Let's head to the hospital for now.

No.

No, I won't step aside.

Your dad built this company with his own hands.

I will protect my position.

Are you Hong Jung-wook?

Yes, I am.

You're under arrest for suspicion of embezzling funds...

from the JH Group.

You have the right to an attorney...

and the right to a fair trial.

What's wrong with you?

My mom would never do such a thing!

There's been a mistake!

Please stop this!

Song-ah. Song-ah.

She'll need to comply with our investigation.

No! My mom's not in good health.

Song-ah.

Don't worry.

I haven't done anything wrong, so I'll be released soon enough.

Mom.

Mom.

Look here!

Mom.

Isn't that Jin Song-ah?

I know...

Director, are you okay?

This is unfair because I haven't done anything wrong.

Why are you looking at me like that?

I remember that my mother once told me...

that what goes around, comes around.

Let's go.

Nice shot!

This game of golf!

Father.

Is it true that Director Hong was embezzling from the company?

Why would they arrest her if she's innocent?

I cannot believe this.

You never know what people are hiding.

She claimed to be ethical,

and now look at how it ends for her.

And you forget about Manager Jin.

Like mother, like daughter...

Judging from her mother, I can already tell she would've been no good.

That woman was bent on ruining my company!

Does Brother know about this?

Don't tell him.

Why not?

Is there a reason you're hiding this from Kang-mo?

Don't ask any questions and do as I say!

This company is my world,

and my word is law!

If you tell Kang-mo about this,

you won't get away with it.

If you can't remember anything at all,

how am I supposed to question you?

I really don't remember anything.

Hong Jung-wook.

Amnesia won't shield you from this crime.

It'll only lengthen your sentence.

Do you think she's alright?

She didn't do anything,

so I'm sure she'll be released.

Sis, how in the world did this happen?

If something happens to Mom,

Cha Gun-woo won't get away with it.

He should be the one being interrogated right now!

Hey, boy!

Do-joon, don't do this.

Calm down, okay?

Why did you have to fall for a guy like Cha Gun-woo?

Hello?

Jin Song-ah.

Can you hear me?

Hello? Say something.

Are you crying?

What's going on?

It's nothing.

What's going on with you? Tell me!

Please talk to me, Jin Song-ah.

Chief.

I'm heading back to Seoul.

You can't leave.

Why not?

We have five scheduled meetings today alone.

And tomorrow...

Then when can I go back to Seoul?

I'm not sure.

We must wait for the chairman's orders.

Are you telling me that I've been exiled to Hong Kong?

Please calm down.

You must follow the chairman's orders.

Release my mom this instant!

What are you accusing her of doing?

Do you even know what you're doing?

Hong Jung-wook is found to have embezzled from the company.

What?

Mom, are you okay?

How are you feeling?

Yea.

I'm fine.

Don't worry about me.

Mom, what's going on here?

I don't understand any of it.

I'm simply drawing a blank.

It's so confusing.

This is nonsense. This can't be!

Don't worry.

I'm innocent.

The truth will come out.

Mom.

Mom.

Mom. Mom!

Mom!

Mom. Mom!

Mom...

We're home.

You've returned?

Now that's a greeting...

Honey, honey, honey...

Why are you worked up again?

Did a fire break out somewhere?

Come sit over here.

Let's sit.

Director Choi's wife told me that Jung-wook is in prison.

Is that true?

If you commit a crime, you have to be punished accordingly.

Are you sure it's not a mistake?

She would never do such a thing!

How do you know what she's been thinking?

What makes you so sure about her?

Of course I know her!

We've been friends for decades!

I'm willing to vouch for her innocence!

Would you be willing to vouch for me as well?

For you?

How much trust do you have in me?

Stop stalling and say something!

I don't know, so don't ask me.

Aren't you hungry?

I'll go and make some dinner.

My goodness...

Kang-min.

Yes, Father.

How much trust do you have in your father?

Is it about 70%?

How can I tell you that in words?

That old fool...

How do you expect me to trust you?

When my family was well-off,

you adored Kang-mo and loved him.

Now that we're broke, you're sending him far away!

So how do you expect me to trust you?

Why am I slaving away trying to make him dinner?

Take that, you old fogey!

Deputy Director Han?

How is Kang-mo doing?

Make sure he doesn't return to Seoul...

until I give you the order.

Why are you gazing at me like that?

Does your daughter seem prettier now that you're drunk?

You're my daughter,

but I pity you.

Hey!

There isn't a single thing that I approve about you.

Your head is empty,

so you'll never become successful.

The only option left is to fix your face...

and find someone willing to marry you.

Mom!

Aren't you being too hard on me?

Even between family members, some things are better left unsaid.

I'm worried about you because we're family!

Even if I sold my business,

it wouldn't be enough to fix that face of yours.

Get it?

I feel like crying, too.

The clinics in Gangnam couldn't fix that face.

Clean this up...

Let me have a shot, too.

Se-na, what's with you?

You never want to drink with us.

I guess the sun's rising from the west tomorrow.

Se-na, drink up.

Aunt.

Yea?

Everything is going my way,

but my rage won't subside...

because it won't bring my mom back.

What are you talking about?

Are you saying that someone killed her or something?

They drove us away, hoping we'd die somewhere.

But what can I say?

They won't kill me that easily.

Doesn't Se-na seem drunk already?

I think so.

Se-na seems tough all the time,

but she must have a low tolerance for alcohol.

She's drunk off of a single shot.

Until I'm reunited with my mom again,

I'm going to continue my vengeance.

You scare me.

I wouldn't want to get on your bad side.

I know, Se-na.

Your cold gaze is really scary.

It's only the beginning!

Mom...

Mom, are you okay?

Let my mom go!

My mom collapsed earlier.

She needs to be in a hospital!

Mom!

Kids, don't worry about me.

I'll be alright.

Don't worry about me, and wait for me at home.

Mom. Mom!

Mom!

Mom... Mom!

Mom! Mom!

Mom...

I feel so bad for Mom.

Sis, I can't believe that there's nothing I can do for her!

Do-joon, don't worry.

Innocent people should not be punished.

I'll prove her innocence,

no matter what it takes!

Song-ah.

Do-joon.

Honey...

Please, help me.

I need to get out of here!

Please give me strength.

Please give me strength.

Chairman.

Do you have anything more to say?

My mother wouldn't do such a thing.

Someone's trying to frame her.

I'm going to find out who that person is.

Please help me, Chairman.

I've done everything I can already.

With the employees watching me,

there isn't more I can do for you.

Hurry it up!

Can you help us,

if only for the memory of my father?

Please.

Father, please help Director Hong.

This has to do with the company.

Song-ah, helping your mother now...

would mean putting the company at risk.

I'm the chairman.

My duty is to the company...

and not to my emotions.

So hang in there.

It's difficult, isn't it?

Would you like to sit down for some tea?

No.

I'll see you later.

Jin Song-ah,

you're like a sparrow perched on a fiery grill.

Poor thing.

Yea, Bro.

Something's going on with Jin Song-ah, am I right?

What is it?

Don't try to hide it from me.

What is it?

The director's been imprisoned for embezzlement.

What?

Why are you telling me this now?

Yea, what's going on?

Your fiance came by our offices.

She wants to file charges against your company...

for wrongly convicting Director Hong.

You and I both know she doesn't stand a chance.

Director Hong is guilty.

Don't take that case.

So you're not willing to handle our case?

You'll get the same response everywhere else.

We have a good case...

because my mom was never involved in this.

With the evidence stacked against her, she won't win.

Truth without evidence is useless.

Attorney, how much will you charge for your services?

If you can prove my mom's innocence,

I'll give you whatever you want.

Sis.

Yea, Do-joon.

Do-joon, what's the matter?

Don't cry.

We've hired a lawyer,

so Mom will be released soon.

Sis.

Don't you see it?

See what?

What is all of this?

Why are these placed here?

The company is liquidating our assets.

What?

Then what am I going to do about Mom's trial?

Sis, is it really over for us now?

Mom.

Mom.

Mom...

Mom, can you hear my voice?

Please say something to me.

Are you both doing well?

Mom...

As long as you and Do-joon are doing well, I'm fine.

Song-ah.

Song-ah, answer me.

I want to hear your voice.

Don't feel bad.

This isn't your fault.

Don't cry, my daughter.

Hold your head up.

I want to see your face.

Your time is up.

Wait, Mom!

Mom...

I'm sorry for everything.

I should've listened to you.

I was foolish to insist on my wedding!

This is my fault!

Please forgive me.

That's not true.

I don't remember,

but I'm sure it's my failure to protect you.

I'm sorry, Song-ah.

No, Mom.

Why are you apologizing?

Don't say that.

Mom! Mom!

Mom...

Mom! Mom!

Yea, Jin Song-ah.

Where are you right now?

Miss, I'll be on my way now.

Don't go anywhere and wait for me!

Thanks to the both of you,

I've gotten rid of a major headache.

Cheers to that.

Yea.

How about the three of us continue to work together?

That's what I've always wanted, Chairman.

You're very decisive.

Manager Kang never shows any hesitation.

You remind me of me when I was younger.

Thank you for your kind words.

What do you say, Gun-woo?

I will follow you along the path that you choose.

Okay.

I find comfort knowing that...

I can depend on the both of you.

I will provide strength for the both of you as well.

We will do whatever we can to help you in any way.

I promise you the same.

I wasn't in a good mood today,

but you've changed that.

You're both better than my own children.

Sis, what are we going to do now?

We don't have money for a lawyer anymore.

How will we get Mom released?

Is there really no hope left for us?

That depends on our perspective.

If we believe that hope exists,

then it does.

Do-joon, let's stay strong.

Jin Song-ah.

Why didn't you tell me before it got this bad?

It was all so confusing.

Everything happened in an instant.

And when I finally came to my senses,

unbelievable things had already happened.

First, we'll take care of Director Hong's situation.

Do you have a way?

Director Hong's being framed by you, Father!

Do you have any evidence?

I'll stand and attest to it.

I won't stop you.

I'll alert the police...

and have them investigate your corruption.

What did you say?

Father!

I should've never raised you!

Koo Kang-mo.

You're the bane of my existence!

I'm ashamed to be your son as well!

What did you say?

Why isn't she coming out?

Is Mom okay?

She's a strong person,

so I'm sure she'll hang in there.

I guess you're right.

Once Mom's released,

we'll be able to pick ourselves up again.

Mom, are you okay?

Are you feeling sick at all?

Why did you lose so much weight?

Don't they feed you in there?

Mom, why don't you say something?

Mom, do you recognize us?

Song-ah.

Yes, Mom.

Song-ah...

I'm... I'm scared.

Mom...

[Preview]

Talk!

Tell them that my mom had no part in this!

First you betray my sister, and then you frame my mother.

Do you think I'll let you get away with this?

Koo Kang-mo had the director released, didn't he?

It hasn't been long since you dumped her,

so when did she have a chance to seduce him?

I don't want to share the same space with you.

You really like Jin Song-ah, don't you?

Have you forgotten?

I've kicked that woman to the curb.

Don't ever show yourself in front of her again.

That's why you lied?

I will find out who's trying to frame my mom.
