Original subtitles

He Ra schemed with Jung Min behind my back...

and betrayed me.

Does she think 90 million dollars is a joke?

We should get started before something else happens.

A few people are starting to oppose to the idea.

Our current structure isn't very stable right now,

so we won't be able to endure this for too long.

So what are you suggesting?

We're going to make Gold CKT and Gold Renovation...

become listed companies since you own their shares.

After they get listed, you can sell your shares...

and issue bonus shares.

Then you'll be able to gain more power.

You can use that power to get your inheritance.

We need to take care of that as soon as possible...

because the Legislation and Judiciary Committee...

is currently trying to amend the law of succession.

If the law gets passed,

it might become very hard for you to inherit the entire group.

Then that means you'll have to take some drastic measures,

but the problem is that they're illegal.

That's when you'll need the 90 million dollars.

I made a list of all the politicians that can be of help.

They'll help you out.

How much time do I have to take care of this?

The sooner the better.

Dad.

I'm not In Joon.

I'm Jung Ho.

In Joon, whom you think of so dearly,

isn't even the CEO anymore.

That jerk is now a criminal...

and penniless.

Good for him, right?

Tell me, Dad.

Why did you disregard me so much?

However much I tried, you were never satisfied.

You always treated me like I was worthless.

And regardless of how much I developed Gold Construction,

you kept making me compete against that jerk who made shoes.

After In Joon came back,

you even stopped treating me like your own son.

Why did you do that to me?

Tell me. Why?

Why?

You...

brought this upon yourself.

Dad.

I have the inheritance tax ready.

You can sleep...

in peace now.

Bring Jung Min home!

Mother, you're too drunk.

Bring Jung Min home.

Jung Min, that's not what I meant.

Mom, what are you doing? You're embarrassing yourself.

You should bring Jung Min home.

This all happened because of you!

What did I do?

That witch left home because she wanted to.

Hey, you're the one who caused all this.

If only you hadn't said all those things in front of her...

That's enough!

Mother.

Call a doctor.

Okay.

We're done now.

She seems to be okay.

I think she was just a little drunk.

Why did you drink when you can't even hold your liquor?

I'll be off now.

Since I'm already here,

I'll check how the chairman's doing before I leave.

Sir.

I'll do anything you ask.

Please give me a chance.

Wake Chairman Tae up.

Sorry?

Wake him up again.

How does he look?

Pardon?

He seems to be doing well...

apart from the fact that he's asleep.

Everything else seems to be fine.

I don't see any bedsores either.

But if he's injected with medicine for a long period of time,

his organs or other parts of his body might cause a problem...

when he wakes up.

So I think it might be best that I take him to the hospital...

and conduct...

an ultrasound scan or an ECG.

No.

- Pardon? - I can't let him leave the house.

Oh, I see. Okay, then.

Doctor Kim.

Yes, sir?

- About my father... - Yes?

I don't think it's right to keep him lying in bed like that.

Are you telling me to wake him up?

No.

Then...

I think we should let him become more comfortable.

You know what I'm saying, right?

Yes, sir.

How did it go?

I checked the chairman's condition.

And I reduced his medication dose.

I can wake him up...

whenever you want me to.

But like I already told you last time,

he won't be able to think clearly for a while...

even if he does wake up.

- That doesn't matter. - Okay, sir.

But we have a little problem.

Chairman Tae Jung Ho...

told me to help your father rest comfortably.

You're really here.

I told you I'd come.

You've got some nerve.

Aren't you even scared about what I might reveal?

Aren't you hiding a lot of things as well?

You'd better watch out.

I'm going to do everything I can to bring you down.

You need to pay for ruining someone else's life.

I'm excited.

This is Cha Soo Hyun's Culture Focus.

Today's guest is someone you've all been curious about.

She's a Cinderella figure who went from making fake designer shoes...

to running a leading shoe company.

Please welcome Koo He Ra.

Hello.

Hello.

Isn't it your first time on TV?

Yes.

So many of our viewers...

wished to hear your Cinderella story.

Well,

I'm not sure if it's accurate to call me a Cinderella.

I make shoes myself.

I don't wish for someone to put them on my feet.

Are you saying you broke through...

the glass ceiling purely on your own?

You were promoted from general manager...

to CEO all of a sudden.

There was a rumor that that was...

only because Tae In Joon was absent.

Was there? That's not true.

Let's skip the uncomfortable questions.

I'll ask something personal.

We don't know much...

about your personal life.

You went from being a designer who studied in Italy...

to someone who made...

fake designer shoes for cheap.

There must be a reason.

I ran out of funds...

and had to quit my studies.

What a sad story.

From what we heard,

you've been looking after...

your brain-dead sister for five years.

Yes.

That's such a pity.

What kind of accident...

was she in?

I heard that you personally looked into...

the accident that put your sister in her current condition.

Yes, that's right.

From what I heard,

you looking into your sister's accident...

and you getting the offer to become CEO of Gold Shoes...

have some kind of connection.

Is that true?

Yes. It's true.

Then...

you need to answer my previous question.

You suddenly went from...

general manager to CEO of Gold Shoes.

Is it true that there was a deal?

You became CEO of a company...

that the board decided to scrap.

What on earth did you do since then?

A shoe company that doesn't make shoes?

Isn't that hilarious?

I do do something.

For example...

We take dirty money from Gold Construction.

We pretend they're our sales figures and create a slush fund.

We say we run projects we didn't...

and execute budgets...

- or hire fake personnel... - Hey.

Are you crazy? What are you doing?

Isn't this what you wanted?

Like what?

What's this?

A gift.

Call it a prize of sorts for doing your best...

to get in my way.

Pass this on...

to In Joon for me.

Why should I?

What makes you think I'll do you a favor?

You're the only one I trust.

With this,

you can send me to prison...

and Tae Jung Ho too.

You've really lost your mind.

What? Don't you want to see me go to prison?

I think you can do that for me.

I mean it. Help me out.

Take this and...

persuade In Joon.

Tell him not to ever forgive me.

You can use that power to get your inheritance.

We need to take care of that as soon as possible...

because the Legislation and Judiciary Committee...

is currently trying to amend the law of succession.

If the law gets passed,

it might become very hard for you to inherit the entire group.

Then that means you'll have to take some drastic measures,

but the problem is that they're illegal.

That's when you'll need the 90 million dollars.

I made a list of all the politicians that can be of help.

They'll help you out.

It's the new tape Ms. Ko gave us.

There's more that...

It's fine. This is more than enough.

It's definitive.

They're going to bribe assemblymen.

Right? Isn't this enough to put Tae Jung Ho away?

Illegal recordings aren't admissible in court.

We might get him indicted,

but you know...

how well-prepared he'd be for this.

The evidence we have now isn't enough.

How can that be?

Sending him to prison isn't enough.

I will break him even more.

I'll take it fairly.

Here.

- I checked it twice. - Well done.

Tomorrow's the day.

Will it work?

Yes.

It should.

I feel nervous.

What about your father?

We can't smuggle him out if he stays at home.

I have someone to help.

We aren't expecting anyone.

I came to speak with In Joon. Can you stop gawping and excuse us?

Okay.

Did you know Tae Jung Ho's using Gold Shoes to amass a slush fund?

Yes.

Here's the proof.

Dates, how it was done, financial records. It's all here.

Who gave you this?

You know.

Koo He Ra?

She told me to pass it on.

And tell you not to ever forgive her.

With this,

you can imprison both her and Tae Jung Ho.

They deceived you, killed your uncle,

and hurt your friends.

That's what they did.

You're leaving early today.

- For a press conference. - Honey.

Min Woo called.

We'll talk later.

Min Woo wants to come to Korea.

I already have so much on my plate.

Why are you doing this to me?

Ms. Im.

I need to go to the spa with my mother-in-law since she's tired.

Yes, ma'am.

Why don't you head out for lunch?

It's okay.

We'll be eating out anyways.

Go on.

Thank you, ma'am.

Can you do it properly?

Harder.

That person who worked for us but turned out to be a spy...

was great at massaging.

I'm at a spa with my mother-in-law.

You can go in now.

(I'm at a spa with my mother-in-law. You can go in now.)

Hold on.

Yes.

Father, it's me, In Joon.

I used to go against your words and never listen to you.

What use is that now.

No one is on my side in this world.

That's why I came to find you.

But why are you like this? You're not being yourself.

You should get up and scold me or something.

Please get up.

- Wake him up. - Okay.

(Gold Group emergency conference)

We will make a start now.

Will you discuss about the inheritance?

No.

I won't be talking...

about assets and inheritance while my father is ill.

It's rumored that you're hurrying the inheritance process...

because of a problem with the law of succession.

That's not true.

We will take in questions later.

My fellow citizens,

I'd like to apologize for standing here...

with an unfortunate news...

to all those gathered today.

My father who's also known as...

the previous chairman of Gold Group,

is in a critical condition.

The doctors have stated...

that his recovery is impossible.

My father...

is unconscious as of now.

It'll be difficult for him to...

- It's the chairman. - Where?

- What? - What's going on?

He seems fine now.

What is happening?

What's going on?

What?

He's awake.

(Episode 38)

Ms. Im.

Ms. Im.

Where is she now?

Why is it so quiet in here?

The Chairman. He's gone.

He disappeared.

Hold on.

Hold on. Jung Ho.

Jung Ho.

Jung Ho.

Pick up your phone.

(Gold Group)

What's going on?

Tae Jung Ho.

Father.

Chairman, what's going on?

Didn't you say he's in a critical condition?

Explain yourself, Tae Jung Ho.

In Joon.

You bastard.

If you have nothing to say, get out.

You should get out before you're dragged out.

How can a criminal like you come to the company like this?

I received Tae Jung Min's share.

As well as an approval from the chairman as CEO of Gold Shoes.

It's been a long time.

I'm Tae In Joon, the previous CEO of Gold Shoes.

As you can see,

Chairman Tae Pil Woon is better now.

Chairman Tae Jung Ho...

will step down from his position as the chairman.

And with his own 90 million dollars,

a public utility foundation will be made.

What are you doing?

Are you resigning from your position as the chairman?

Chairman Tae Jung Ho, let us hear your thoughts.

Do you want to die, you fool?

Why?

Use the money you collected with difficulty for a good deed.

You like to donate.

Do you not have money? Would you like my donation?

Prepare to spend at least 100 years in prison.

Do you have evidence?

Expose it.

I'll expose it if that's what you want.

You'll beg me to just send you to prison straightaway.

Let's see if you can walk around with your head up.

What nonsense.

About my father...

I don't think it's right to keep him lying in bed like that.

- Are you telling me to... - Is that his voice?

- wake him up? Then... - No.

I think we should let him become more comfortable.

You know what I'm saying, right?

Yes, sir.

Hey you, turn it off.

- Turn it off right now. Now! - Turn it off.

- Take the photos. - Hey, stop taking photos.

- I told you to stop. - Please say something.

Hey, don't touch that.

Dad, will you please stop him?

Hey, let me go.

How dare you? I'm the chairman.

Let me go, you punk! Do you want to die?

Do you still not get it, Jung Ho?

You're no longer the chairman of Gold Group.

You're not even the CEO of Gold Construction either.

There's no room in this company for you.

I'm going to kill you.

Do you want to get sued for blackmailing as well?

I told you, didn't I?

I told you that you'll fit in very well in jail.

Dad! Dad, look at me!

Dad! Mom told me to do all this!

Dad!

Mr. Tae Jung Ho.

- Gosh. - It's the cops.

You're under arrest for abetting murder, attempted murder,

libel, embezzlement, dereliction of duty,

and violation of the medical law.

You have the right to remain silent.

Everything you say may be used against you in court.

And you have the right to hire an attorney.

Take him.

Let me go.

Dad. Dad, please hear me out.

In Joon, you jerk.

Dad.

You scumbag!

Let's go.

Hey, let me go!

Dad!

- Hey! - Is this true?

Dad!

You little punks! Let me go! Dad!

Hey, In Joon! Dad!

Let me go! Hey, you little...

Do you admit to the charges?

Is it true that you were planning to kill your own father?

- Get this out of the way! - Why did you make the slush fund?

- Sir. - Please explain.

Dad! Tae In Joon, you jerk!

Can you please say something, sir?

- Please tell us the truth. - Okay, then.

- Where should we go? - In Joon!

- In Joon! Dad! - Han Sung Sook.

Hey!

This is breaking news.

Tae Jung Ho, the former chairman of Gold Group,

got arrested without a warrant this morning.

Based on the recording revealed by Tae In Joon,

the former CEO of Gold Shoes,

Tae Jung Ho got arrested for abetting murder, attempted murder,

embezzlement, dereliction of duty,

and violation of the medical law.

The police also got a tip-off about Tae Jung Ho's slush fund,

and they've started an investigation.

And they're doing the best they can to substantiate the charges.

Sir.

Yes?

What are you going to do about the slush fund documents?

Turn yourself in.

The cops are on their way here.

You want me to turn myself in? Why would I do that?

Do you have proof?

Illegal wiretapping...

doesn't qualify as evidence. Do you not know that?

Don't worry.

I have more than enough evidence to make you and your son...

go to jail.

Don't lie to me. I already talked to Attorney Kim.

He told me that you don't have any crucial evidence.

Attorney Kim?

He works for our company...

which means I'm his boss now.

The cops, the prosecution,

the news, and the press.

Listen to me.

Do you still think the world is on your side?

Do you still think...

you're the madam of a conglomerate family?

I've gathered...

a lot of evidence.

(Recording files)

Do I need to sign here?

Yes.

Gosh, I'm sorry I'm making you do this...

when you're the CEO of Gold Shoes.

It's okay.

This is the only thing I can do.

We've met before. Do you remember?

Koo's Workshop. 100 dollars.

I'm Kim Chang Soo.

I don't know what to say...

about how things turned out.

I also made a lot of mistakes,

so I'm very sorry.

And I know He Ra's also at fault,

but I'm the one who's more responsible.

So?

Okay, let's drop that subject.

But I really need to tell you something...

about the slush fund.

He Ra did all the dirty work that Tae Jung Ho made her do...

because she was already determined to go to jail.

She did it to gather evidence.

And the reason she became the CEO of Gold Shoes...

was because that's the only way she could prevent it...

from disappearing.

So...

please don't hate her too much.

But of course, I know that's not going to change anything.

Is that all you have to say?

I actually came...

to give you something.

What's this?

When your uncle got into the accident,

I was there.

Sir! Hey!

When I got there, it was already too late.

So I couldn't save him.

In Joon...

Please...

Please...

I didn't want them to take...

all those documents that he tried so hard...

to gather for you, so I took them with me.

Hello.

Can you restore what's inside?

For the past two years,

I tried to restore all the stuff that got damaged.

I don't think I can restore this.

You should put it in first. See if it works or not.

Okay.

Your uncle worked hard all his life to gather information...

about all the dirty stuff that Tae Jung Ho and Hang Sung Sook did.

They're not completely restored yet,

but you can't delay this any longer.

I'm sure it'll be enough...

to have them rot in jail for the rest of their lives.

I'll be off now.

I can't possibly ask you...

to forgive He Ra.

I'm sorry.

For how long did you think you'd be able to fool everyone...

after having done so many bad things?

You shut people's mouths by giving them money.

You framed innocent people and killed them if they got in the way.

You probably thought you'd be able to get out of this.

But I'm going to do...

exactly what you did to me,

so you'd better be prepared.

You should look forward...

to how much I've prepared for you.

You...

Since when...

Since the moment you kicked my mom out...

and entered this house.

My goodness, who are you people?

- Who are you? - Ms. Han Sung Sook.

You have the right to remain silent.

Everything you say may be used against you in court.

And you have the right to hire an attorney.

I told you...

that you're not the owner of this house.

Goodbye.

No, this is not right! This is wrong!

- Let's go. - Hey! Goodness.

Let me go! Let me go!

Tae In Joon! In Joon!

Let go of me!

(Hyun Jung Ok)

Mom.

I came a little late, didn't I?

Everything's over now.

I'm sorry I couldn't do this earlier.

You should rest in peace now.

Yes. Okay. Goodbye.

The prosecution called.

They're currently writing the bill of indictment.

If you give them the evidence regarding the slush fund,

they can include that in the indictment.

They said it'll be enough to destroy Tae Jung Ho.

He was charged with dereliction of duty and embezzlement.

If the shareholders also sue him on top of that,

we'll be able to make him go bankrupt.

Tell them I'll be on my way.

- In Joon, then what about He Ra... - Jung Ho...

killed my uncle and ruined your hand.

I can't forgive...

neither Jung Ho...

nor He Ra.

Would you like to give it to them yourself?

Or should I...

I'll do it myself.

Are you okay, sir?

Yes.

In Joon.

Wait.

Can you stop the car?

Ventilate the room once during the day and once during the night.

And take her out for a stroll in the backyard...

on a wheelchair at least once a week.

Cut her hair at least once every six months.

And make sure you talk to her so that she doesn't get bored.

Please do me a favor.

Hyun Joo.

Chang Soo promised to take good care of you.

I...

I need to go somewhere for a really long time.

I'm sorry, Hyun Joo.

I'll quickly come back.

Where are you going?

Are you going to turn yourself in?

Please take...

good care of my sister.

There's no need.

Look.

I guess Tae In Joon...

didn't turn in the evidence regarding the slush fund.

They're apparently not going to indict him for the slush fund.

But he can still...

have them locked up in jail for a lot of other things.

What are you talking about?

I'm saying Tae In Joon...

didn't turn in the evidence regarding the slush fund...

because of you.

I came here to tell you this.

Bye.

Don't get mistaken.

It doesn't mean I forgive you.

I know.

I just can't seem to forgive you.

No.

Even if I do forgive you,

It's obviously going to take longer than the past years.

Look after yourself.

I wanted to...

tell you this for the last time.

Although it's too late.

I know that I can't undo...

my actions.

Don't...

Don't forgive me until you die.

You're such a good person.

But I destroyed everything.

It's all...

It's all because of me.

I guess...

we weren't meant for each other.

I'm sorry.

And...

thank you for everything.

During the search and confiscation,

the police is focusing on gathering...

all the papers regarding bank accounts and audits.

After analyzing all the gathered evidence,

they will summon the ones who took part...

The wife of Tae Pil Woon, the chairman of Gold Group,

Han Sung Sook has been arrested.

After investigating the home of Tae Pil Woon,

the police is further investigating about...

Han Sun Sook and Tae Jung Ho's corruption and misconduct.

Currently, the police have decided not to charge...

Chairman Tae Jung Ho for his own funds.

(The prosecution searches Chairman of Gold Group's house.)

How's my father?

He fell asleep just now. Please wait.

Okay.

In Joon.

Do you remember what I told you?

About Min Woo.

About the share of Jung Ho, could you...

Yes, I sorted out everything as promised.

I also mentioned about bringing him back home.

Thank you.

Thank you so much.

Thank you.

Let me ask you for the last time.

I've been curious about this for the whole time.

Let's say Chairman Tae In Joon is going to jail...

along with Han Sung Sook and Tae Jung Ho.

Then...

who's going to benefit the most out of it?
