How dare you lie to me?

(Chairman Nam Yeon Seok)

How dare you...

play around with my YJ Group?

Why did you tell Mr. Alex about Father?

Mr. Alex of Pandora.

I heard he had ill feelings toward YJ because of his father.

"Ill feelings?"

I knew nothing about it.

Please believe me.

Yet another lie?

I'm not lying.

I admit it was my mistake to talk about Grandfather.

I blurted out my worries about him while meeting Alex, my friend...

from studying abroad, after a long time.

I'm terribly sorry, Father. I truly am.

Your friend from studying abroad?

How could Alex be your friend...

when you never studied abroad?

What?

I already confirmed you never once attended Washington University.

Did you think I wouldn't find out...

if you submitted somebody else's diploma in English?

You sneaky wench.

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

How much of yourself is the truth?

Father.

I'm extremely sorry.

But there's nothing else I'm hiding.

I mean it. Believe me.

Please forgive me just this once, Father. Just once.

Forgive you?

There's only one way you can ask for forgiveness.

And that is to leave both my company and house without a word.

Father. If I suddenly leave the house,

everyone will question it.

Then people will talk about our family.

If that happens,

the fact Grandfather lost consciousness might get exposed.

That is why you should leave voluntarily and quietly.

I won't let the fact...

YJ Group had a daughter-in-law as low as you...

become public.

Yu Jin. Please help me.

(Director Nam Yu Jin)

Father is trying to kick me out of the house and the company.

And?

"And?" Didn't you hear me?

Father is trying to kick me out.

Shouldn't you ask Mr. Alex of Pandora and not me for help?

- Don't tell me... - Yes.

I know why you're getting kicked out.

Jung Gyeo Ul told me.

(Director Nam Yu Jin)

You never studied abroad,

and yet Mr. Alex is your friend from back then?

What's your relationship with him?

And last time when I got involved with Alex...

because of WIN Hotel's loan matter,

why did you play possum?

- You see... - Forget it.

There's no need to ask.

Everything you say will be a lie anyway.

Yu Jin.

Let me explain it all.

- I will, so... - I don't want to hear it!

So?

Yu Jin.

Are you...

just going to watch from the sidelines?

Now that Dad knows about it, I can't do anything.

You know that well.

Either persuade Dad or cling to him,

it's your problem to settle.

In other words,

Jung Gyeo Ul was behind all this, right?

(Meeting Room)

Why did you want to see me?

I doubt you have the time to talk to me like this.

What?

Now that Father knows about it, you will get kicked out.

Shouldn't you be house-hunting right now?

Oh, nevermind.

I guess you don't.

The place you'll live next will be the jail anyway.

Jung Gyeo Ul, you little...

Use words if you have something to say.

Quit being so unsophisticated.

You've got nothing to say, right?

Then let me ask.

Wasn't your goal to become the madam of YJ?

So why did you help out Alex, who was hostile to YJ?

Fine. I won't force you to tell me.

Either way, I can simply dig up...

your secrets again.

Anyway, Ae Ra,

thanks for keeping so many secrets from so many people.

Who knew your secrets would become this handy?

Jung Gyeo Ul.

I won't let this slide.

That should be my line.

Look forward to it.

Until the day you pay for all your sins,

I will destroy you more miserably than ever by any means.

At least Jung Gyeo Ul doesn't know I'm trying to get...

my hands on YJ through Alex.

I can't let her find that out.

Mom. Why do you keep yawning this morning?

Did you not get enough sleep?

Ji Seok and I went out early...

to pray for Father's health. I'm tired to death.

Young Ran, today was just the first day.

Why are you so tired?

Ji Seok, I'm not a morning person,

so I don't think I can get up that early to pray.

You can go with Ae Ra from now on.

Ae Ra, is that okay?

Oh, okay.

She can't.

You should keep going with Ji Seok.

What? Why can't Ae Ra do it?

Ae Ra will be appointed to Daegu very soon.

What? Dad.

Why are you suddenly appointing her to Daegu?

We needed someone there because of their workload,

and I decided to send her.

Yu Jin, make sure you keep up with everything in Planning.

Yes, Dad.

Father, what do you mean?

Why am I being assigned to work in Daegu?

You said it yourself.

Everyone will think it's odd...

if you suddenly have to leave home or work.

That's why I decided to send you out of Seoul.

Father, I'm sorry.

Please forgive me just once.

I'll give you a month to settle everything.

This is the last favor I can show because of the years you spent...

as YJ's daughter-in-law.

Father!

Father!

Alex's identity is exposed,

so there's nothing more we can do together.

But I must stick around here to take YJ for myself.

(YJ Group)

I checked the footage of the CCTV in front of my house,

but Pyeon Sang Guk never came from the moment my family left...

until the moment you came.

I see. In that case,

I guess Grandfather didn't collapse because of Pyeon Sang Guk.

No, he collapsed because of his chronic disease.

He said he had something to tell me about my father's death,

so I thought he might have met Pyeon Sang Guk.

Oh, I see.

Anyway, Pyeon Sang Guk didn't come by.

And did you have another favor to ask?

May I talk to the people...

you used as Pyeon Sang Guk's tails?

Why do you want to meet them?

I checked his whereabouts on CCTV on the day he left the motel,

but it was cut off in the middle, so I couldn't find him.

So I wanted to ask those people...

where they lost him.

I thought I might find even the smallest lead...

if I found out the last place they saw him.

Yes, that might be the case.

Then I'll meet them.

I can do that.

It's okay.

I want to help you get to the truth behind Mr. Jung's death.

I'll check with them and give you a call.

Thank you, Father.

I asked Father,

and Pyeon Sang Guk didn't meet Grandfather on that day.

Why did he leave the motel that late in the night?

Was he going out to meet someone?

If he were to meet someone, they should've communicated before.

But his phone was never turned on after he ran away from the hospital.

Yes, that's why I requested the call history from his room...

to the owner of that motel.

She still hasn't sent it to me.

She's Pyeon Sang Guk's girlfriend, so she's very wary of us.

That's true. But she must have felt things were a bit odd.

When I called her again today, her response had changed.

Hello?

Yes, really?

I'm glad you made that decision.

Could you send me the call history as soon as you get it?

Yes, thank you.

Was that Pyeon Sang Guk's girlfriend?

Yes, she requested the call history of the line in his room.

She'll send it to me as soon as she gets it.

Mother, why did you want to see me?

I kept thinking about it, but I just couldn't understand.

My husband said you volunteered...

to work out of Seoul. Is that true?

Sorry?

Well...

Do you have to go away in this situation,

after Father has fallen?

Are you running away in case I force you to care for him?

Mother, it's not like that.

Don't deny it.

Then why do you have to go away?

Father already told you the reason.

There's a lot of workload there, so they're in need of people.

When will you return?

I can't put a finger on the date,

but I'll return as soon as possible.

Are you sure you'll return quickly?

Yes, of course.

Mother, I will return as soon as possible...

no matter what it takes, so please don't worry.

I need to find Chairman Nam's weakness and stick around.

Have you checked?

He only called one number?

Yes, please tell me what the number is.

It's 010...

Thank you.

Young Jun, he only called that number from his room?

Yes. But this is odd.

Odd? What's odd?

This isn't his brother's, mother's,

or girlfriend's number.

Let me see.

You're right.

What's his relationship to this person?

I'll call the number right away.

(YJ Group)

You may have put up a perfect front,

but everyone is bound to have at least one fault.

Where should I hide this?

Wait, why do I hear a phone vibrating around here?

Why is this locked?

Yes, Director Kim. Call me if anything happens.

What? Why are you here?

Father.

Please reconsider my appointment to Daegu.

I don't want to hear anything unless it's your resignation. Leave.

Father.

I will not repeat myself.

Get out of here before you're dragged out!

Yes.

Yes, Chairman Nam.

Do not let anyone into my office without my consent.

What?

Could it be...

It's Gyeo Ul's number.

How did she find this number?

The person you have reached is...

I tried again, but no one picked up.

This person must know where Pyeon Sang Guk is.

Mr. Jung, is there a way to track this number?

Well.

Pyeon Sang Guk isn't a suspect, so I don't think that can happen.

That's why I met with his family to report him missing.

I guess he told his family not to believe a word we said.

I couldn't get through.

Then let's find his whereabouts, starting from the day...

he checked in at the motel.

If this person had stayed in touch, they would've met at least once.

You might be right.

Let's check right away.

Let's go.

Dad, this umbrella will keep you safe.

I've been praying every single day,

so please get well soon.

Then we can go to art museums...

and meet Ha Neul together.

Yes, hello?

What? "Tae Yang's mom?"

Yes. I heard about the honorary chairman from Tae Yang...

and got worried.

I see.

I've been praying every day...

and made him the yellow umbrella as a lucky charm.

But he's still unconscious.

"Yellow umbrella lucky charm?"

I was actually curious about that.

Where did you hear that the yellow umbrella blocks all bad things?

Well, I'm not too sure.

Whenever I see a yellow umbrella,

I feel it'll block everything...

and protect us. That was why I said it.

Right, I see.

Anyway, Ha Neul and I are also praying every day.

The honorary chairman will surely wake up.

Okay. Get some rest.

Oh, were you on the phone with Uncle Ji Seok?

Yes.

I got worried after hearing about him from Gyeo Ul.

But his voice sounded better.

I just overheard you asking about the yellow umbrella.

Ha Neul told me the meaning behind the painting.

It piqued my curiosity.

Oh, so you wondered about it too.

I was curious when you embroidered...

an umbrella on Ha Neul's doll. The two looked similar.

What did he say?

He said seeing a yellow umbrella...

made him feel like it would block and protect everything.

If you think about it, people may not look like it,

but they are quite like-minded.

(YJ Group)

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

Yes?

(YJ Group)

Oh, come in. Take a seat.

As you asked,

I met the people who kept an eye on Pyeon Sang Guk,

asked where they lost him,

and checked that place myself.

But there were no CCTVs where they lost him.

I couldn't get anything.

Oh, is that so?

I hoped I could find anything after what you said.

It's a shame.

By the way, did you two find out anything more?

We did find something suspicious.

- "Something suspicious?" - Yes.

Since Pyeon Sang Guk started staying at the motel,

he has been on the phone with just one number. I kept dialing.

The call went through at first. But the number is no longer available.

I think they sensed something and got rid of the number.

Oh, I see.

Then were you unable to find out who that was?

No. So just in case,

we checked the CCTVs in the motel and around the area...

to figure out Pyeon Sang Guk's whereabouts since his stay.

But the footage from the day he moved in...

until we caught him was deleted.

It seemed like someone did it on purpose.

This place is safe, right?

Oh, yes. My partner is running this motel.

So it's safe.

Got it. I'll get in touch soon.

By the way, it's best to be careful.

So delete all CCTV footage...

in this motel and around the area of my visit.

All right. I will.

Who could've deleted those?

We would've found something if only there had been CCTV footage.

Anyway, great work.

You must be tired. Go home and rest.

We will, Father. Then please excuse us.

Go ahead.

I'm glad I told him to delete them back then.

With no CCTVs and a different burner phone,

I won't get exposed as they look for Pyeon Sang Guk.

(YJ Group)

I was hoping he found something when he wanted to see us.

Our only luck is in the hardware store Tae Yang looked into, right?

- Did they not get in touch? - No.

The owner's daughter is living abroad.

She gave birth. They went to see her for a month.

I left a text asking them to call once they returned.

I wish that place...

had the CCTV footage that captured Pyeon Sang Guk.

Me too.

Let's wait until they get in touch.

Okay, Young Jun.

Gil Ja. Did you visit the honorary chairman yesterday?

How was he?

Goodness. Nothing has changed.

He's still unconscious.

That worries me.

Uncle Ji Seok looked worn out. It made my heart break.

Gosh, I hope he wakes up soon.

Young Jun. Are you still looking for this Pyeon Sang Guk?

Yes. I'm searching high and low for him.

But there are no traces of him.

Really, there are countless CCTVs and dashcams in this day and age.

But to be unable to find that one man?

Did he disappear off the face of the earth or what?

Yes?

I'm Jung Young Jun.

Oh, you've returned?

Did Mr. Jung promise to meet up with the hardware store owner?

Yes. He'll leave as soon as his meeting is over.

I was worried when the CCTVs in the motel and around the area...

were deleted.

It's a relief they still have the footage.

You're right.

The hardware store was closed even before Pyeon Sang Guk...

started staying at the motel. Nobody could've gotten rid of it.

I agree.

Thanks.

It's thanks to you we got the hardware store owner's number.

I will do anything if it helps you, Gyeo Ul.

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

once we check the CCTV of that hardware store, right?

You can find out where Pyeon Sang Guk is?

(Staff Lounge)

Wait.

Didn't you say you found Pyeon Sang Guk last time?

He's always a step behind.

It's none of your business.

That's nonsense.

Mom told me Pyeon Sang Guk was involved in your dad's death.

But from what I overheard,

it seemed like you lost him. Should I help you out?

Help us out?

How come? Now that someone else was involved in my dad's death,

are you trying to avoid...

the responsibility of framing my dad by helping us out on this?

What? "Avoid the responsibility?"

Hey. Why do you always dismiss my sincerity?

I have zero interest in your sincerity,

nor am I curious about it.

All I have in mind is making you pay...

for framing my dad.

Must you put it that way?

Director Nam. I think you've done enough.

Gyeo Ul. Let's stop wasting our energy here...

and go to Mr. Jung.

Come on.

Move.

Goodness. They're both looking down on me.

How dare they ignore my sincerity like that?

(YJ Group)

Dad.

Jung Gyeo Ul and Mr. Jung keep leaving the office...

to find Secretary Pyeon during working hours.

How much longer will you let them be?

Your grandfather already permitted them to do that.

Even so, they should do their job.

I left a contract for Mr. Jung to review today,

but he just left his work to check...

the CCTV footage to find Secretary Pyeon.

What? "To check the CCTV footage?"

What CCTV?

I don't know.

They went to check the CCTV footage...

to find Secretary Pyeon's whereabouts.

It was in a hardware store or something.

What was that?

What's wrong, Dad?

Oh, it's nothing.

I'll tell those two to do a proper job.

You may leave.

Oh, okay.

I have to stop Jung Young Jun from finding that CCTV footage.

Why won't they pick up?

(Igi Hardware Store)

Hello, I'm Jung Young Jun, the one who called.

Did you reach out to me because something important was...

caught on my CCTV?

There's someone I must find.

Please do me a favor.

Sure, give me a second.

Hello? Yes, that's my car.

What?

Okay.

Give me a moment. I have to go to my car.

Sure.

(Hardware Store)

Who are you?

- I need to talk to you. - What?

I kept you waiting.

- Let me check it out for you. - Yes.

I'll give you however much you want.

But do not show that CCTV footage to him.

(Do you wish to delete the selected item?)

(Deleting)

Goodness, I'm sorry.

I turned the CCTV off that day.

Sorry? You turned it off?

Yes.

I had to leave the store for a while, so I plugged out...

every single electronic item in case it caused a fire.

I'm sorry I couldn't help.

Goodbye.

(YJ Group)

What have you been doing?

I texted you a bank account number.

Send him money.

(Chairman Nam Yeon Seok)

(Personnel Appointment: Ju Ae Ra, to Daegu Branch)

Wait, why do I hear a phone vibrating around here?

(YJ Group)

Why is this locked?

It was definitely a cell phone vibrating.

Why does he have two phones?

On top of that, why did he hide it in the drawer?

What is it?

I found the dash cam video from the taxi Kim Hyun Jung took...

on her way to see Chairman Nam Man Joong.

You found the dash cam video?

So? Did you find anything?

Yes, I saw it. She didn't make any phone calls in the taxi,

so you can rest assured.

All right. That's a relief.

But it could've been really bad.

Really bad?

Chairman Nam Yeon Seok...

walked out of the house just before the taxi arrived.

What?

Chairman Nam Yeon Seok...

walked out of the house?

What do you have to say to me one last time?

Yes, Father.

I found something...

very interesting about you.

What are you talking about?

Oh, let me show you.

It's this.

Father.

On the day Grandfather collapsed,

you were home.

(Woman in a Veil)

You said I had too many secrets, but you also have as many as I do.

Ae Ra's reappointment was canceled. That's all.

What? Dad.

I know this voice.

Wait, did the honorary chairman collapse because of Chairman Nam?

What? Why is the chairman leaving in a hurry at this hour?

It's me. Pyeon Sang Guk.

Mr. Pyeon Sang Guk?
