Sir.

Mr. Jeong has something to tell you.

Sir.

Choi Eun Hye's accident...

I was the driver.

What? What on earth are you talking about?

Mr. Jeong.

There's something we can do.

What is it?

We need a scapegoat.

- A scapegoat? - Yes.

Someone who's willing to take the fall.

That is the only way we can put an end to this case...

once and for all.

I paid your daughter's hospital bills...

including the overdue payments.

She'll receive a bone marrow transplant soon.

Don't worry about the surgery costs.

I'm also working on your brother's DUI case.

The legal team is trying to negotiate with the victim.

I'll take care of the settlement money and all the fees.

Director Park.

Yes.

Just get through this,

and Vice President Han will totally take care of you.

Think about your young daughter.

She has to get the surgery and regain her health.

Cheer up.

Mr. Jeong.

Why on earth did you do such a thing?

I'm sorry, sir.

After hitting her with my car, I got scared and ran away.

Mr. Jeong, who put you up to this?

- Tell us the truth! - I am telling the truth.

I'm hugely disappointed in you.

How could you hurt someone and run away?

I understand you were scared, but how could you do that?

And you even abandoned her under the cliff!

I was so wrong about you.

I'll keep this short.

You need to get the punishment you deserve.

Director Park, let the police handle him!

Yes, sir.

No way. Why would Mr. Jeong do such a thing?

I bet Han Min Hyuk and Park Sang Tae...

put him up to it.

They cooked up such a ruse this quickly?

Han Jae Hyuk, Choi Ho Jin. Do you think you can take me down?

You underestimated me.

Director Park, you handled the situation very well.

You're the only one who looks out for me.

Have you had a chance to look for my father?

Yes, he actually passed away.

Really?

What was he like?

Forget it. I don't even want to know.

I don't care anymore.

Have you found any dirt on Chairman Han Tae Seok?

"Chairman Han Tae Seok"?

He's not my father, you know.

I've been digging but haven't found anything yet.

As you know, he's a man of integrity.

You're frustrating me here.

- Then make something up. - Yes.

I found out that Oh Dae Sung, the former president,

had embezzled the company's money, but they covered it up.

We should make it look like it was ordered by the chairman.

- You think that's enough? - Pardon me?

The chairman and Assemblyman Jung are best friends, you know.

Try to dig up dirt on Assemblyman Jung.

Right, okay.

I hope Mr. Jeong doesn't say anything stupid to the prosecutor.

Don't worry. I made sure he'd keep his lips sealed.

I also told him how he should respond during the interrogation.

Anyway, we're over the hump.

What did you say to Min Hyuk about his biological father?

I told him that he's dead.

I'm not sure why,

but he said he no longer wants to know about his father.

Really?

I'm relieved to hear that.

He's changed so much though.

He's so cold to me these days.

It's obviously because he's still in shock.

Things will get better when some time passes.

Come in.

What is happening?

I heard Mr. Jeong confessed.

He's taking the fall for Min Hyuk.

But how?

I persuaded him by giving him what he wants.

Well done.

I'm so relieved.

Make sure Mr. Jeong keeps his lips sealed.

- We shouldn't let our guard down. - Yes, ma'am.

Mr. Jeong, that jerk. How dare he?

He didn't do it, Dad.

He didn't?

How do you know?

I found out that his family is struggling financially.

And his daughter will undergo surgery soon.

It seems like someone instigated him to take the fall.

You think someone instigated him?

Who'd do such a thing?

There's someone I'm suspicious of.

Who is that?

I'm asking who it is.

It's just a speculation at the moment.

Just tell me.

This isn't just about you and So Won.

You said this person works for Noyu, so this is about me as well.

It's Han Min Hyuk.

What? Min Hyuk?

Yes.

The car that hit Eun Hye belonged to him.

What? What do you mean?

Are you sure?

Yes. Just because the car was his,

it doesn't mean we can be sure that he was the driver.

But considering the circumstances, I think it was him.

And a few more people were involved in the accident.

Hwang Yeon Su, Director Park,

and Mother too.

What?

Dad.

What on earth is happening?

We're investigating the accident at the moment,

so I'll tell you the details when I know more.

Dad, please pretend not to know anything for the time being.

Hello, Father.

You're getting in late.

The prosecutors are interrogating Mr. Jeong at the moment, Dad.

The car that hit Eun Hye belonged to him.

And a few more people were involved in the accident.

Hwang Yeon Su, Director Park,

and Mother too.

What's wrong, honey?

What's with your dad?

He looked at us as if we were some criminals.

What if Jae Hyuk told Dad everything?

No way. He doesn't have any solid evidence.

Right. Mr. Jeong confessed to everything,

so he has no reason to suspect us.

Jae Hyuk is fuming mad now.

We need to be really careful.

Are you using Mr. Jeong, that kindhearted man,

to cover up your ugly truth?

You're accusing me again?

Forget it. I hope you didn't say anything stupid to Dad.

Why do you ask? Are you scared?

Why would I be scared?

I told you it wasn't me. What's wrong with you?

Yes, I'm really hoping it wasn't you.

The thought of my brother hurting Eun Hye...

The thought of you being the person who killed that wonderful woman...

drives me crazy.

But if it's actually true,

you'd better admit what you did and beg for forgiveness.

Why would I beg for forgiveness when I didn't do anything wrong?

Min Hyuk, I plead you.

I plead you. Enough is enough.

Doesn't this exhaust you?

How did it go?

I sent an anonymous letter and the ledger to the prosecution.

Tell Prosecutor Do to take care of it quickly.

Yes, sir.

Come in.

What were you two talking about?

What are you scheming with Min Hyuk?

You'd better tell me at once.

The chairman will be summoned by the prosecution soon.

What?

What on earth did you do?

The VP ordered me to do it, so I had no choice.

Have you lost your mind?

How could you play along just because he asked you to do it?

- Stop it at once. - I can't.

- You can't? - That's right.

The VP now knows that the chairman isn't his real father,

so why should I stop?

Director Park.

What are you trying to say?

There can't be two suns in the sky.

As long as he's staying in the position,

the VP will never be able to take over the company.

You know that too.

Still, this is wrong.

Have you forgotten...

why we've been staying quiet and putting up with all this?

And why I've been acting as Chairman Han Tae Seok's shadow?

From now on,

if anyone comes in the way of Min Hyuk becoming Noyu's owner,

I will get rid of them all no matter who they are.

I found the person...

who drove Yeon Su's car to the auto repair shop.

It was a guy at an errand service company.

Really?

Did Yeon Su order him to do it?

No, it was Director Park.

I went through his call log and found a record of...

a phone conversation between him and Director Park.

Are you saying Director Park was the one...

- who covered up her accident? - Yes.

It seems like he's been acting as a henchman...

for both Han Min Hyuk and Hwang Yeon Su.

He helped her for Min Hyuk.

But why would he go to such lengths to help Min Hyuk?

I suggest you purchase more shares.

When we develop the new fabric,

our stock price will skyrocket.

I'll have to wait and see to find out whether or not...

Noyu actually has that much growth potential.

Please trust me.

I will never let you down, sir.

What? Are you serious?

Director Park covered up Yeon Su's hit-and-run accident?

Yes.

Unbelievable.

Tell him to come to my office at once.

I'm Prosecutor Do from Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office.

Chairman Han Tae Seok.

We'll conduct a search and seizure for violation...

of the Political Fund Act and embezzlement.

What?

What are you talking about?

You can't do this without a search warrant.

I have one right here.

Then if you'll excuse me...

- Search thoroughly. - Yes, sir.

- Excuse me. - What are you doing?

What on earth are you doing right now?

- What is happening? - Who are you people?

- Honey! - Dad!

Big news!

What's up? What's going on?

The chairman has been taken to the prosecutors' office.

What? The chairman?

What do you mean?

Hey, how could you do this to your father?

Father, my foot.

He and I don't even share a drop of blood.

Still, this is wrong. You shouldn't do this.

Help him clear his name.

He's lived righteously all his life.

We can't let him be falsely accused like this.

I no longer have a father.

Min Hyuk.

What is happening?

Father violated the Political Fund Act?

This is crazy.

He's been honest and upright all his life.

He accepted bribes and committed embezzlement? Nonsense.

I bet Han Min Hyuk is behind this.

Who else would cook up a ruse like this?

What is going on?

Who is falsely accusing my brother like this?

Jae Hyuk.

Hey.

Was it you? Did you do it?

Why do you think it was me?

I know you've had your eye on Dad's position.

I understand you want his position,

but how could you do something like this?

Even a brute wouldn't do this!

Have you lost your mind?

You accused me of the hit-and-run,

and you're now saying I framed Dad?

I, too, am so flabbergasted that I feel like I'm going crazy!

If you orchestrated this too,

I will never forgive you.

Go sort out the situation if you have time to waste like this.

Mother, join us for dinner.

No, thanks. I don't really have an appetite.

- Give me more rice. - Okay.

How can you eat knowing what kind of situation...

your dad is in now?

I'm fully enjoying this meal because he has nothing to do with me.

Min Hyuk.

Get out if you don't want to eat.

I don't want to hear anything about him.

Min Hyuk.

He is still your father.

He is your dad who took care of you for over 30 years.

You can't do this to him.

I said, I don't want to hear anything about him.

(Court, Prosecutors' Office)

- Dad! - Father.

- Are you all right, Father? - Yes, I'm okay.

- Sir. - You must be exhausted.

- Did you tell them the truth? - Do you admit it?

- How's your health? - How do you feel?

- Are you all right? - What are your plans?

- What's the amount? - A comment, please.

Who did you give the money to?

Father.

Honey, you must be exhausted.

Dad, are you all right?

What kind of jerk did this?

Dad, don't worry.

I'll find out who did this at all costs.

Dad.

When the prosecution's investigation is over,

you'll be tried while detained.

Don't worry too much though.

I'll help you clear your name no matter what.

Also, Mr. Choi is doing his best to find out what happened.

And I'm trying to find evidence to prove...

that the ledger was manipulated.

I should've prevented this from happening.

I'm sorry.

I've...

wasted my life.

I thought I've always done my best to stay true to my principles.

I can't believe this is happening to me.

Dad.

The chairman just got home.

He must be devastated.

What will happen to my brother now?

If we fail to find evidence to prove his innocence,

he'll be served with a warrant.

Then he'll get arrested.

We have to make sure that won't happen.

What do we do?

I'm in disbelief that Mr. Jeong caused the car accident,

and even Tae Seok is being falsely accused of such crimes.

Who is behind all of this?

I bet Han Min Hyuk and Director Park orchestrated this together.

I mean, think about what he did to Jae Hyuk in the past.

Has Min Hyuk completely lost his mind?

How could he...

I'm flabbergasted too.

My brother worked so hard for the company all his life.

This is what he's getting for all of his hard work?

And his son might be behind the false accusations targeting him?

I feel so bad for my brother.

Yu Jin.

I had to stay late because some customers suddenly showed up.

Why do you guys seem so down? Did something happen?

The chairman...

is being framed.

He's being framed? For what?

What? Are you serious?

Director Park covered up Yeon Su's hit-and-run accident?

Yes.

What on earth are they trying to do?

Could Director Park be behind this too?

(Vice President Han Min Hyuk)

It was you, wasn't it?

Did you team up with Hwa Ran and Director Park...

to sabotage my brother?

How could you do this to your father?

Aunt Yu Jin, what is this nonsense about?

Can't you see that I'm doing my best...

to sort out this situation?

Don't lie to my face!

I know that you did this.

Please leave. I don't have time to listen to your nonsense.

- Han Min Hyuk! - Get out!

(Chairman Han Tae Seok)

Director Park, where are you?

Hello, sir.

I'm on my way back from the factory.

I'll be there soon.

Then come to my office as soon as you get in.

Director Song, what brings you by?

I have to talk to you about something, sir.

About what?

It seems like Vice President Han Min Hyuk...

brought the false charges on you.

What? Why do you think that?

He's been threatening the board members...

to get them on his side.

He bribed those who wouldn't yield to threats.

What?

There's more.

He was the one who suggested...

buying our shares to Mr. Yoon at P and Y.

And he's been collecting shares under borrowed names.

Director Park has been taking care...

of all these things for him as per his order.

What did you say?

I just thought you should know, sir.

Thank you.

Try to stop Min Hyuk.

He won't even listen to me anymore.

How could he do this to his father?

- This is simply wrong. - If he doesn't do this,

he'll never be able to make that position his.

Did you egg him on?

"Egg him on"? Please. He's not a kid.

It was his choice.

More than half of the board members are on our side.

And we've already acquired a lot of the shares.

He can make the company his without doing this.

But there's Director Song.

And we're not sure whether Mr. Yoon is really on our side.

There's also Ms. Han, who's the majority shareholder.

We're definitely at a disadvantage.

- Still, this is... - This is the best thing for us.

Mother, you must stay strong.

He's never been affectionate toward you.

Why are you so worried about him?

He and I have been living together as a married couple for decades.

Do you really think it's that simple?

I thought you'd be willing to do anything for your son.

Wasn't helping him get to the top...

the purpose of your life?

Was it you?

Are you the one who framed me?

Dad.

How could you even think that?

I heard you threatened the board members.

I heard all about what you've been doing behind my back.

That is not true.

Why won't you listen to me and only believe what others say?

How can I believe you when you broke my trust?

Everything you do is so pathetic.

You're my son. How could you do such a thing?

How much longer must you keep disappointing me?

Answer my question! Why did you do that?

Don't you already know the answer?

What?

How have you been treating me?

I've worked so hard and made great efforts.

Have you ever acknowledged me?

Jae Hyuk always came first.

You were never happy with anything I did!

You punk, how dare you!

As they say, you reap what you sow.

Okay?

That brat...

Did you help Min Hyuk?

I'm not quite following, sir.

I'm asking if you egged him on...

to falsely accuse me.

Of course not, sir.

You started the fire at the factory...

and framed Jae Hyuk for the embezzlement.

It was all your doing.

And on top of that, you even helped Yeon Su...

cover up the hit-and-run accident?

I already know everything, so tell me the truth.

Why did you do such a thing?

Why did you deceive me? Why do something like this?

Tell me!

You see,

you should've been affectionate toward Vice President Han.

What? What did you just say?

You brought this upon yourself.

Your son had no choice but to make this decision,

and it's all your fault.

You... How could you...

You scumbag, what did you just say?

What?

Did you think I'd be your loyal dog forever?

You jerk.

How dare you do this to me?

Let go.

- Get off me. - Come here, you jerk.

Why would you do this to me?

- Come here. - Get off me!

Han Tae Seok.

Experience what it's like to be bitten to death by your loyal dog.

Park Sang Tae.

Noyu doesn't need you anymore.

Noyu will soon become Vice President Han's company.

You got that?

You...

Sir. Sir!

(Chairman Han Tae Seok)

Dad!

Dad! What happened?

Dad! Wake up.

Dad, Dad!

(Bad Love)

Why did Father collapse suddenly?

What do we do, Jae Hyuk?

The chairman position is vacant now,

so the board members and shareholders are confused.

Please support me.

Are you looking for this?

What on earth did you do to my father?

Don't falsely accuse an innocent person like this.

How could you do this?

Listen, the chairman position will never be yours.

I won't let that happen, okay?

Open this!

I'll make sure you won't be appointed chairman.

Dad always loved you dearly, so you be a good son.

President Han, is this true?

How could this happen?

Sadly, it is true.
