Episode 23

This is a recording device.

- What is your motive in bringing that up? - I am suggesting we nip it in the bud if it can cause a problem later.

I had no intention of killing Lee Sang Bum.

I had no intention of killing Lee Sang Bum.

I had no intention of killing Lee Sang Bum.

That's the Chairman's voice!

I'm not sure.

Give it to me!

Did you erase it?

You misheard it.

I had no intention of killing Lee Sang Bum.

I had no intention of killing Lee Sang Bum.

I had no intention of killing Lee Sang Bum.

Ji Eun!

It's over.

What? Then what about the recorder?

Does that matter now?

Just tell me where it is.

I can't. I won't!

Hey, Jeong Min! Jeong Min!

Jeong Min! Don't hang up, listen to me.

You're listening, aren't you? Aren't you?

You're listening, aren't you?

It's okay if you erased it. It's okay.

Director Park, you're going to drag me down, huh?

Bastard...

This could fall into preparation for murder, but the statute of limitations has already expired.

And if the recording is erased, it's unrealistic to find a solution.

We can't use the media without proof.

Instead, you'd be sued for defamation.

I know you feel wronged, but I can't see a way.

Then... I'd have to take it with my eyes wide open?

Nonsense. I can't do that. I won't do that.

Their taking my father's company is not the problem.

They killed someone. They killed my father!

Calm down.

Could you calm down if it were you?

Why did you do it? Why?

You said there was something. Why didn't you tell me no matter how I tried to stop you?

Why didn't you? Why?

I can't just sit here.

I'm going to pay it back. I'm going to pay back all of it.

My mother's sighs, and those harsh times...

I'm going to pay back all of that.

Ji Eun. Ji Eun!

I've been like this right from the start. A coward and a horrible jerk.

You can't even make eye contact with me.

Tell me what's going on.

Just think of it as you having been played by a crazy jerk.

Will you marry me Ji Eun? You want to marry me?

I thought my heart was sinking. I thought you were going to break up with me.

You misheard it.

The customer is not answering...

Seo Jeong Min. Show yourself right now. You won't change anything by you hiding.

Seo Jeong Min. Show yourself right now.

I feel lost. I feel so lost.

Would you tell me what I need to to do? Tell me.

Ji Eun. First you have to get a hold of yourself.

If we find a witness, we can remove Chairman Seo from his position.

We may not be able to lock him up, but we can crush him.

You can ease a bit of your deceased father's deep resentment.

You can get a hold of yourself, can't you? You can control your feelings, can't you Ji Eun?

This... This... How dare you make a ruckus?

I heard it for sure. Your voice saying you killed my father.

Are you even human? Do you know what you did?!

Get out! Take this wench who's lost her mind and get out right now!

Why don't you admit it and take your punishment now?

Even though the statute of limitations has expired, the truth has no statute of limitations.

- What? - I know very well what method you used to swallow Shin Yeong.

You killed Ji Eun's father, then you won the defense department bid!

Nonsense!

Shin Yeong got hit with bankruptcy as soon as Ji Eun's father had passed away.

Then the merger happened so fast. Do you think that makes sense?

There are sure things even though they may be invisible.

You dare to accuse me with something you've heard somewhere?

Don't be absurd, give me the evidence!

Right. Since you heard the recording, let me see the recording device!

Tell Seo Jeong Min to come out.

Seo Jeong Min, tell him to come out!

Listen to me carefully.

I'll get the truth, then I'll pay you back.

You... the one who killed my father!

I'll make sure you pay for your crime.

Tell Seo Jeong Min this: Stop hiding and show yourself.

How...

I guess we have to bring the witness.

It seems that Director Park's feelings were hurt deeply over the tax issue.

You killed someone, Chairman.

And Director Park was cheering you on!

I'll find it for sure. I will!

I'll find Director Park and make him testify.

You...

D-Don't even worry about it.

They can make all kinds of noise, but the media won't pay attention without evidence.

Plus, t-that punk on the motorcycle died of stomach cancer, I hear.

Director Park, you just wait till I catch you. I'll break you in half!

He'll call for sure. I kept him over 10 years.

I know all about his dark side.

That recording device is probably a duplicate. He has the original somewhere.

So... what is your point?

Please get a hold of yourself.

How long are you going to moon over that woman?

The statute of limitations might be over, but if this gets in the media, that'll be the end. The end!

Everything I've built up all this time will be crushed!

Stop it already!

Just how far do you want to go?

Because of your greed,

do you know how many lives are in the gutter?

You have to accept it if deception and hiding didn't work.

Now, you and I have to accept what we have coming to us.

Jeong Min! I know my crime.

I will accept my punishment.

But what can be done now?

It's already spilled milk that can't be put back.

Later in the afterlife, I will kneel down and beg them for forgiveness.

I'll repay them double later, but not now.

Not now, Jeong Min!

If Seolin collapses, I have no reason to live.

If this gets out to the world, you'd have to shoulder my sin for the rest of your life.

Then I have no reason to live.

We only need to block Jang Se Hoon. As long as that punk doesn't get in the way, Director Park will definitely negotiate with us.

We can cover it up if we get the original and destroy it!

Hey!

Honey! Honey!

What took you so long?

What've you been doing?

Were you with Mr. Seo—

Don't ever mention him to me again.

What? What's wrong?

What's wrong? What happened, huh?

- That is... - What?

What to do? What to do?

What to do about what? Speak up, so we can understand.

We're both full of scars.

We can comfort each other.

Jeong Min! I know my crime. I'll take my punishment.

But what can be done now? It's already spilled milk that can't be put back.

If Seolin collapses, I have no reason to live.

We only need to block Jang Se Hoon.

As long as that punk doesn't get in the way, Director Park will definitely negotiate with us.

We can cover it up if we get the original and destroy it!

Where are you?

I thought you'd be waiting for my call.

I said where are you now?!

I'm not running away. I still have money to score, so I won't leave empty-handed.

I thought about calling Jang Se Hoon.

Still, I feel closer to you than that punk Jang Se Hoon.

So I called you first.

Let's meet right away.

You... are you interested in my original recording?

Let's meet right away.

I see you took after your father's temperament. So you're in a rush.

Ah, right. How is your father's blood pressure?

Where do I need to go?

But... do you think Seo Jeong Min knew, too?

That his father had killed Ji Eun's father.

No way he knew, right?

Se Hoon. I also think Director Park will show up.

But don't you think he'll be in hiding for a while? Today—

I managed the funds for a long time.

For your information, I'll discuss this with the Vice President.

If a branch is bigger than the trunk, it's bound to be ripped.

[Chairman Seo Moon Soo]

Give me the recorder.

Of course, I'll give it to you.

I'm different from your father. I'm saying I keep my word.

Stop your nonsense and give it to me!

Is this all?

Not sure...

Tell me if this is the original or not!

You still don't understand the current situation.

Don't you think it's better to let go of this?

Someone like me... doesn't have much problem living even if a huge picture of me gets in the papers.

Of course it's different for the Chairman.

Go relay this message to Seo Moon Soo!

It's the right thing to comfort even an old and diseased loyal dog.

I'll contact you later.

♫ ​In the dark sky, the glittering glow of the stars tells me ♫

♫ That if I do not do it now, I can never do it. ♫

Because I was afraid to lose you, I deceived the heavens, deceived the land.

I deceived you and deceived myself.

But... but I let you hear the truth myself.

She probably hates me now. She probably won't forgive me.

Okay, it doesn't matter.

I can't go until this woman takes the flowers!

Have you never tried to seduce a woman before?!

Hey, scary Unni!

Then let's see again.

Have you ever seen a prince on a white horse who doesn't know where the princess is?

Rights? Do you need certification to love me?

Don't push me away because of your past wound.

I want to be in a relationship where I can kiss you anytime.

♫ When you have never needed anyone. ♫

Lee Ji Eun. Lee Ji Eun. ♫ And l’ve just tried to be the man you need ♫

I won't regret it. I'll never regret it.

If that moment comes again, I'll deceive you again.

I think our love has a limit to be preserved with my love alone.

Now... I think it's time to let you go.

The safe was opened and your name plaque was broken as well.

That's nothing.

The only other person who knows the safe combination is the Vice President.

Nothing big is happening, so bye.

Jang Se Hoon?

Would you please check to see if the name "Park Seong Joon" is on the departure list?

I am sorry, but don't see that name.

His name is Park Seong Joon, and he is a director of Seolin Group.

I'll pay you handsomely if you find him quickly.

What's wrong?

Unni!

Unni!

Chairman!

I brought your old one for now.

Why are you standing there?

Good work.

Didn't that bastard Director Park say anything else?

Don't worry about it. I'll take care of it.

The statute of limitations may have expired, but the truth has no statute of limitations.

I'll find the truth, then I'll pay you back!

You... you who killed my father! I'll make sure you pay for your crime.

I won't even blink no matter how much ruckus you make.

Jang Se Hoon,

do you even know who's holding your share of the company when you're standing in my way?

How dare you make a threat when you are caught in the plight?

Seo Jeong Min. Show yourself right now.

You know this isn't going to be over just because you hide.

Right. I am on my way to see you.

Right. I rushed from this morning.

I guess it won't be long before I see

that punk's deathly scared face.

Let's talk when I get there.

I am going to ruin that punk as you wish, so what's the problem again?

Forget it. Just wait a bit more.

It won't be long before I strip Jang Se Hoon of everything.

No matter how smart he is, it'll be hard to recover empty-handed.

- Please move aside. - I can't.

- I have orders not to let you set foot inside. - I have to get in.

No.

- Please move aside. - No.

No. Please leave.

- Please move aside. - Please leave!

- I must go in. - Please leave.

- Please move aside. - No can do.

- I heard she lived with President Jang. Apparently Vice President Seo didn't know about it. - Please move aside.

- Then she deceived him completely and planned to marry Vice President Seo? - Right.

She's really brazen.

- Please move aside. - Please leave!

Please move aside.

I must go in. Please move aside.

I can't.

You can't go in. Please leave.

Get your hands off her!

Let's go.

What are you staring at the back of his head for?!

Nothing. Let's go in, Father.

Chairman Seo. You know that

I charged low interest to lend you money for your merger with Jang Se Hoon's company, right?

1.5% is just a giveaway.

Thank you.

I don't plan to go through the stockholders' meeting.

I am going to call the board of directors' meeting and kick him out with nothing right away.

Your condition doesn't seem that good.

Your face looks worse.

Is that right?

Ji Eun. Don't do that. You'll get indigestion.

Excuse me.

I'm okay. Go ahead and eat.

Yeah.

We... need to meet at least once more, right?

Ji Eun.

When you can't find a way, then there's only one way.

Get your courage up.

I didn't even say thank you in this chaos.

It's my business. Yet you are putting so much heart into it, I won't forget it even in my death.

Fine. As you said, if there's no way,

then getting my courage up... that's the only thing, right?

Ji Eun. I'll follow you after I stop somewhere.

Where is Director Park?

Answer me!

I don't know. Why do you ask me that?

You know it. You know it all!

You knew it all. Yet you held my hand and looked me in the eye.

Laughing and chatting. Even tried to marry me.

So how could you not know where Director Park is?!

Tell me where he is.

Bring him before me!

If I bring him...

what difference will it make?

Right. It won't change anything.

My father can't come back to life.

And the 10 years I lived with guilt that I caused his death can't be compensated either.

My mother's sighs and my bloody tears can't be compensated, either!

My filthy heart that held feelings for you for a while

can't be wiped clean either!

That's why, that's why I can't forgive you.

Your father, you, and even myself.

Do you know how I feel right now?

I dreamed of happiness

with the son of the man who killed my father.

Do you know how filthy that makes me feel?

Do you how much I wanted to kill myself for that?

Because I despise myself... I can't stand thinking about myself without wanting to throw up!

Fine. I do think I need to take what you dish out.

That's why I called you, so you can take it out on me.

But this is the last time.

You... I won't forgive you even in my death.

Your father dying horribly, like my father did, I'll see it with my own eyes.

How about if I die for you?

That will do, right?

Can you do that?

Then die... just die.

Like my father died in front of my eyes, you go ahead and die in front of my eyes, too.

I am already a bad jerk, so I'll continue to be a bad jerk.

Even if we meet by chance, I'll ignore you.

Please take her out.

Seo Jeong Min, must you be this brazen?

Must you be this cowardly?!

Ask for her forgiveness. Asking her to forgive you is your share even if she doesn't forgive you!

Save your sermon and get out.

Do you think Director Park only met you?

It's all over.

Seo Jeong Min. It's over.

Your father and you... taking your punishment is all you have left to do.

Get ready.

How did you get that recorder?

Did you meet with Director Park?

Did he call? No...

Where is he? Where is he now?

Ji Eun... I have a favor to ask.

Would you trust me?

Don't ask me now how I got the recorder.

Even if you ask me, I won't answer yet.

In due time, I'll tell you everything.

- Se Hoon... - I know how you feel, but please do as I ask.

I'll keep the recorder.

Just because it's published in the media doesn't mean it's all over.

In order to depose Chairman Seo, we need time.

I'll take care of it all. You just need to trust me.

You can trust me, can't you? You will trust me, won't you?

Okay. I will trust you.

I'll trust you.

I am fully aware that I can't handle this matter by myself.

I do need your help now. Absolutely.

I am sorry for dragging you into my business.

Being this way seems brazen... but I am going to ignore it for now.

First... now... please understand me.

I don't think it's only your problem.

Okay, let's talk later about what's in our hearts.

Later.

I did it before, and I'm doing it now.

I'm only making it hard for you.

I'm sorry and grateful.

That's all I can say to you.

Let's go. I'll take you home.

♫ I open my eyes to watch you, did you really leave? ♫

♫ In all the looks you ever gave me, did one of them say you loved me? ♫

I'll see it to the end even if I have to put my life on it.

Your father dying horribly, like my father did,

I'll see it with my own eyes.

♫ I'm waiting for a fateful kind of destiny ♫

♫ Through all the unforgettable painful memories ♫

♫ I long for you ♫

This is Seo Jeong Min.

♫ I think I loved you too much ♫

♫ I will regret that as much as I long to see you ♫

♫ If we meet again through the same kind of destiny ♫

♫ Those sad tears will remain deep within our hearts ♫

Say "aah." Hey, "ah."

She doesn't want it. You eat it.

Say ah.

♫ You who were born for me, I am now leaving you ♫

I wanted to believe

that I could be happy with you.

♫ Even weary and in hardship ♫

♫ Through all the unforgettable painful memories ♫

♫ I long for you even while I hate you♫

♫ But I guess I just couldn't help but love ♫

That's why I didn't want even more to believe that you deceived me.

♫ If we meet again ♫

How can I forgive you?

How, how can I understand you?

I am going to burn it all and leave nothing.

The traces of me being with you,

and the feelings I held in my heart for you

I'll burn them all and... I'll wipe you clean from my life as if you were never there.

Who are you? Why are you doing this?

♫ How hard has my life been? How hard have I tried to forget you? ♫
