(Episode 89)

You!

You have learned the secret,

and I cannot make you an exception.

Yes,

you should...

silently,

quietly...

leave this world.

Ae Ra. This place is delicious.

Thanks.

Ae Ra. Ji Seok just thanked you.

Ae Ra!

Yes?

Where's your head at since earlier?

You haven't even touched your food. What is it?

It's nothing.

I took care of it just now.

Uncle Ji Seok. Congratulations on winning the award today.

This is on me. Please enjoy it.

Thanks.

Oh, honey. How did you get here? Didn't you say you couldn't make it?

Things ended earlier than expected. So I rushed over.

I see. That's great.

Right. We should order a dish for you.

- Yu Jin. - Okay.

- Let me go wash my hands. - Sure.

- We'd like the same menu. - Yes, sir.

Almost everyone in our family has gathered.

It would've been nice if Father were also here.

What on earth was that urgent matter?

Yes, Tae Yang?

Grandfather said he had something to tell me about my dad's death.

So I came to his place.

I'll call you after I see him.

All right.

What?

(Jung Gyeo Ul)

The person you have reached is unavailable.

Why isn't he picking up?

He clearly told me to come to his house.

What?

Hey, Gyeo Ul. What is it?

What? Father must be home.

Did he go outside for a bit?

Then wait inside our house.

Our door lock number hasn't changed.

You remember it, right? Okay.

Gyeo Ul's at our house?

What do you mean by that?

Why is Gyeo Ul at our house?

You see, Gyeo Ul and Dad promised to meet at our house.

But she couldn't get in touch with him.

So I told her to wait inside our house.

Anyway, what's wrong, Yeon Seok?

What?

Oh, it's nothing.

Grandfather.

Grandfather.

Is he not here?

What's going on?

Grandfather!

Grandfather!

Grandfather!

(Doeun University Hospital)

Honey, what happened?

What did Director Kim say?

He suffered from cardiac infarction, right?

It looks like he couldn't take his medicine...

when he suddenly had an episode.

He couldn't take his medicine?

He always made sure he took it...

whenever he felt the symptoms kick in. What happened?

I wonder.

Was it really a cardiac infarction?

He recently had some indigestion problems too.

Don't you think he needs other exams?

He should undergo a complete medical exam...

once he wakes up.

Yes, Director Kim said it was a cardiac infarction episode,

so he should get examined after he gets treated for this.

What does he need to do to get treated?

When can he wake up?

They gave him first aid,

but they can't tell when he'll wake up.

What? They can't tell?

Does this mean he may never wake up?

Dad!

Wake up, Dad.

- Dad, wake up. - Goodness.

- Ji Seok, don't do this. - Dad.

- Dad, no. - Yu Jin, Yu Ri.

- You two should escort him home. - Okay.

Uncle Ji Seok, let's go.

I'll get the car. Come downstairs.

Okay. Uncle Ji Seok.

No, Dad...

Goodness, what is happening?

If it hadn't been for you, this could've been so much worse.

Anyway, why were you at my house?

Grandfather said he had something to tell me about my dad's death.

What did he tell you?

He said he'd tell me once I came,

but he had already collapsed when I got there,

so I didn't hear anything.

I can't believe this.

Anyway, so the honorary chairman called Gyeo Ul over...

to tell her something about Hyun Tae's death?

Yes, so Gyeo Ul went over...

and found him on the floor.

Something doesn't feel right.

I have a feeling Pyeon Sang Guk is involved in his death too.

Do you think he came and made him collapse?

That's why I went to see him...

as soon as Gyeo Ul called.

What?

Wait, did he run away again?

I think so.

I looked up all the CCTV footage around the motel he was at.

I saw him leaving last night, but he never came back.

Did he really hurt the honorary chairman?

I thought that could be the case and told the chairman.

He said he'd check.

I'm looking into it too.

How's the honorary chairman?

He's still unconscious.

Goodness, he's an old man.

What if he never wakes up?

Gyeo Ul found him before it was too late,

so his life wasn't in danger. He'll wake up soon.

Ms. Seo, then Ha Neul won't have to go to his house tomorrow.

She won't.

He always showed his concern for us. Shouldn't we visit him?

Mom, their family is probably going through a lot,

so you should visit him later.

Yes.

And Father wanted to keep his fall...

a secret.

He said it could affect the business,

so he wanted to keep this within the family.

All right. I understand.

I hope he gets well soon.

Ha Neul's granduncle must be quite worried.

How can you lock me up in a place like this?

Because you wanted to meet Chairman Nam Man Joong.

What do you mean, revealing everything...

crossed your mind once you met with your sister?

My sister...

lost her leg in an accident while I was in America...

with my fake sister.

If I hadn't gone abroad, I would've met her.

If I had, she wouldn't have fallen in that accident.

Everything is your fault.

I told you.

I was deceived by a woman who pretended to be your sister.

Stop lying!

My sister never contacted you,

not even once.

And what did you say to me?

You said you thought she was a creditor when my sister called.

You brought me a fake sister just to send me to America.

You...

deceived me.

I don't want to be used for your revenge anymore.

So get me out of here now!

Sorry.

But stay here until my revenge is over.

It won't take long.

Are you kidding me?

Chairman Nam Man Joong already knows I'm in Korea.

He'll look for me soon.

No, as long as I'm around, he can't.

So...

how much did you tell him?

Why?

Do you want to know?

Then go ask him yourself.

I guess it's tough to ask him while you're living as me.

Ae Ra.

What you're doing right now can't stop me.

I will see...

the end of my revenge...

for my mom's sake.

Sure. Take it to the end.

Because I'll wish...

with everything I have that you'll shed tears of blood...

once you reach the end of this revenge.

How much did she tell Nam Man Joong?

The call history showed...

she made a quick phone call in the taxi.

I must check the taxi's dash cam first.

Did you find the taxi?

No, not yet.

Why not?

You can just check the CCTV in front of my home.

I was going to, but everything was deleted.

Deleted? Why?

Who knows? I'm not sure why.

Dad, thanks for not letting me become a man who killed...

his own father.

Everything came down to this,

so do not wake up for my sake.

What happened?

What? You still haven't found him?

There were CCTVs everywhere, and you haven't found him?

Make sure you find him at any cost!

Dad.

Where did you hide...

Pyeon Sang Guk?

(500-20 Bangdo-ri, Docheok-myeon, Gwangju, Gyeonggi Province)

Even if Jung Hyun Tae's family begins to dig up his death,

I shall never be mentioned.

The same applies to Ji Seok's old accident.

Do you believe me now?

You're saying...

Yeon Seok is behind...

not only Mr. Jung's death but also Ji Seok's accident.

I can't believe this.

No, I can't.

Then...

will you believe me if I show you this photo?

After leaving home,

your eldest son changed his name...

and taught students at a night school.

That photo is from back then.

(Thank you, Mr. Kim Jung Wook!)

Where...

did you get this?

Chairman Nam...

made me clear up Mr. Ji Seok's belongings in his house...

after the incident 31 years ago.

I kept that just in case since then.

Does that mean...

Yeon Seok knew where Ji Seok was but acted as if he didn't?

That's right.

Honorary Chairman.

Please save me.

You're the only one who can save me, Honorary Chairman.

First,

I will call Yeon Seok over and have a talk with him.

Then,

I will have him turn himself in.

Please put me under protection before meeting Chairman Nam.

The moment he sees me, Chairman Nam will try to kill me.

I promise to pay for my sins.

So please hide me in a place where Chairman Nam will not find me.

I beg you.

A place where Yeon Seok will not find you?

Yes, President Son.

Yes. You found the parts?

Okay. I have a favor to ask you, President Son.

I will send a man over to you.

Please hide him for a while.

Okay. Thanks.

He will soon leave my place. Great.

For now, go to this place.

Yeon Seok...

knows nearly all the places that I know.

So that should be the safest place.

I'm sorry I had us meet right after you returned to Korea.

It's all right.

What urgent matter did you need to proceed with right away?

Honorary Chairman Nam Man Joong has lost consciousness...

and is currently in a coma.

What? Are you sure?

There were no rumors in the financial district.

Chairman Nam Yeon Seok is stopping the spread.

If this goes public, YJ will suffer a blow.

Right. Even if Honorary Chairman Nam is retired,

many in and out of the company still trust him.

The risk is high if this news travels.

Yes.

(Pandora Investment)

On that note,

can you leak that...

there's a problem with Honorary Chairman Nam's health...

in the financial district?

Even if I leak Honorary Chairman's critical condition,

YJ will stop it right away.

They sure will. But here's the thing.

With barely any YJ Group shares on the market,

we failed to get our hands on them.

If the rumor circulates for a bit,

the anxious shareholders will try to sell their shares.

We must purchase those.

All right. I'll get on with it.

Why would Chang Soo call in the morning?

Hello?

How did you know about it, Chang Soo?

No way.

He's in the hospital right now...

to get a health checkup.

I'm not lying. Bye.

What was that about?

You see, Chang Soo read in the stock market newsletter that...

Grandpa had collapsed and was in critical condition.

He called to confirm it.

What?

We're keeping it from everyone, including the executives.

How did they find out?

Maybe Gyeo Ul's or Seo Tae Yang's family leaked it.

They know about it, right?

Mom. They're not the type to do such a thing.

That can't be true.

Then how did that rumor spread?

Are you sure none of your family members talked about it?

Yes. After the call this morning,

I asked everyone again.

But they swore they didn't talk about it.

Same with my family.

All right. You two may leave.

All right.

- Mr. Jung. - Yes?

Did you look into the financial district's response?

Because the honorary chairman's critical condition...

was reported in the newsletter,

the stock price slumped briefly.

But thanks to the company's quick action in denying it, it stabilized.

I made sure everyone kept quiet about it. So who leaked it?

I asked Chang Soo about it.

But he didn't know.

We will keep monitoring the press...

to stop the rumor from spreading.

Make sure to do that.

And Director Nam.

Keeping it from the executives won't be easy anymore.

Prepare for a board meeting.

We must not let anyone else know about it.

Understood. I will gather the executives at once.

Yes?

Chairman Nam. While looking into the stock situation as ordered,

something strange popped up.

"Something strange?"

Right after the honorary chairman's critical condition...

made it into the newsletter,

one company purchased our shares in the market...

through IK Investment Securities.

What?

Where was that?

I checked, and there was talk that it was Pandora Investment.

"Pandora Investment?"

Wasn't that where you borrowed money from because of...

the WIN Hotel goods supply issue, Yu Jin?

As a matter of fact,

that company's CEO favored our company...

and hoped that we would strive several times.

Couldn't that be why they bought our stocks?

Is that so?

Did they really see the value in our company...

and purchase our stocks?

They bought YJ's stocks because of its company value?

Then why now of all times?

Didn't they take YJ's stocks through Hanguk Electronics...

just before YJ went bankrupt?

Yes, hi. Are you Mr. Alex?

I'm Jung Young Jun from YJ Group.

Could we possibly meet today?

Oh, yes. Thank you.

I'll see you later.

Mr. Jung. Have some coffee.

I bought it, especially for you, at the pour-over coffee shop...

around the corner.

Thanks. I'll enjoy it.

By the way, it seemed like you were talking to Alex on the phone.

Is he the CEO of an investment company?

Yes. But why do you ask?

I'm not sure if he's the same person or not.

Ae Ra has a guy friend named Alex from when she studied abroad.

She said he was the CEO of an investment company.

Ms. Ju's friend from when she studied abroad?

Yes. I overheard them talk on the phone a few days ago.

They sounded quite close.

It seemed like he was returning to Korea soon after wrapping up...

an investment and meeting Ae Ra.

What?

From what Gyeo Ul told me, Ju Ae Ra never studied abroad.

(Pandora Investment)

Thank you for meeting me despite the sudden call.

Gosh, don't worry about it.

Anyway, why did you suddenly get in touch?

I heard that Pandora recently purchased YJ's stock.

Yes, that's right.

Is that a problem?

No. But it felt strange.

I'm sure you read about the honorary chairman in the newsletter.

Our company was in a pinch.

And yet, you bought YJ's stocks.

Was there another reason?

No. As mentioned last time,

I'm very interested in YJ Group.

The company has a good philosophy.

I believe it has great potential to grow from now on.

Was that your only reason?

Must I have any other reason than that?

No.

It seems our conversation is over. Do you mind leaving?

I'm quite busy today.

All right. Thank you for your time.

Mr. Alex.

I hear you have been friends with Ms. Ju Ae Ra of Planning...

since when you two studied abroad.

- Sorry? Ms. Ju Ae Ra? - Yes.

I overheard her on the phone saying...

that you two were going to meet once you returned to Korea...

after your investment project.

You two must be close.

Right, yes. You're right.

We've known each other since our time abroad in America.

I see.

They've known each other since their time abroad?

Alex just made up a lie.

This means something is going on between Ju Ae Ra and him.

Mr. Jung?

Who are you?

Don't you remember me?

You helped me out when I was unfairly fired...

from YJ Group.

You should call this number.

This number? Why?

They're looking for a cleaner, so I recommended you.

They have better terms,

and it's a permanent job, so it'll be much better for you.

Yes, the dirty water.

It's been a while.

- Do you work here? - Yes.

The company you referred me to is in charge of this building.

Anyway, what brings you to Pandora Investment?

The CEO here must detest...

anyone from YJ Group.

Sorry? What do you mean?

You didn't know?

The CEO here is the son of a subcontractor...

who used to work with YJ Group.

Eight years ago, YJ didn't renew their contract.

His father collapsed and passed away while protesting.

That's why he holds lots of grudges against YJ Group.

- Are you serious? - Yes.

He ran over to Director Nam's office and screamed at him,

making a huge scene.

I thought he would never meet anyone from YJ.

Did he feel bad after hearing...

the honorary chairman collapsed?

Ma'am.

How did you know the honorary chairman collapsed?

Ju Ae Ra was the one who leaked the rumor...

of Honorary Chairman's collapse?

Yes, the cleaning lady overheard Alex...

talking to this woman while cleaning the corridor.

So I got her help and looked over the CCTV footage...

at the security office.

Ju Ae Ra came out of Pandora's office.

Something is weird.

Mr. Alex holds a grudge against YJ Group,

so he wanted to buy out YJ's shares and shake the company around.

Then what was Ju Ae Ra thinking when she decided to help him?

That's what I want to know.

Once Alex has managerial rights,

it'll put Nam Yu Jin's position in danger.

Which also means Ju Ae Ra's position will be endangered,

because she wants to be the lady of YJ Group.

Do you think there could be a deal...

between Ju Ae Ra and Alex?

You might be right.

She wouldn't help him without a reason.

The fact that she sided with Alex, who holds a grudge against YJ,

should be enough to get her kicked out of the family.

I must share this with the chairman right now.

Yes, Father.

Sorry? Now?

Yes. All right.

Ju Ae Ra, I don't know what you're after,

but you'll never get what you want...

now that I've found out.

(YJ Group)

Did you want to see me, Father?

Father, what's wrong?

I hear it was you...

who told the CEO of Pandora that my dad had collapsed.

Sorry?

Father, what do you mean?

It wasn't me.

Let me ask you once again.

Wasn't it you?

No, Father. It wasn't me.

You despicable thing.

How dare you lie to me?

How dare you...

play around...

with my YJ Group?

(Woman in a Veil)

How many secrets did you bring when you came to my home?

Ae Ra will be appointed to Daegu very soon.

Father, I'm sorry. Please forgive me just once.

We'll find out where Pyeon Sang Guk is...

once we check the CCTV of that hardware store.

You can find out where Pyeon Sang Guk is?

How much do Jung Gyeo Ul and Jung Young Jun know?

You may have put up a perfect front,

but everyone is bound to have at least one fault.
