(Episode 96)
You deal with the trophy incident.
You were behind
the planning and execution of the whole thing.
Understand?
What if I refuse?
No.
I'm sorry,
but you can't make that decision.
We're from the prosecutor's office.
Mr. Kang Taejun,
you are under arrest for
embezzlement, bribery and slander.
Being a flight risk and possible evidence tampering,
you will be detained during the investigation.
Come with us.
Don't be too angry.
We all must play our part.
Kang Taejun,
why are you here?
I have nothing to say.
Kang Taejun!
Mr. Lee Dongsu of your partner company said
he delivered the pure gold trophy to you
and told you it was a fake under Mr. Kang's orders.
He was given $200,000 to help him flee
and an exclusive contract for the next five years.
Anyone behind him? Any accomplices?
There's no-one behind him,
and he confessed he planned everything.
He could definitely do time for this.
Can I talk to him for a minute?
Sure. Go ahead.
Kang Taejun,
did my sister order you to stop me?
Why won't you say anything?
Why won't you tell me who did this to you?
You're a smart guy,
so why do you let my sister mess with your life?
You're mistaken. You are.
I did it all on my own.
What?
What is it? What did she promise to give you
for taking the fault?
What kind of deal did you make with her?
Isn't it obvious?
When my mother-in-law becomes chairman,
she will at least make me president
for taking the fault for everything.
I come from a poor family,
so what else could I possibly want?
It's not like I killed anyone.
Slander, embezzlement and bribery!
I'm willing to pay for that.
If you're going to talk about the truth,
then you expose it.
You can say behind Kang Taejun is Park Yugyeong!
The wife of the former chairman
and the future chairman.
What?
Then you'll be able to
take that position with no trouble at all.
You can't expect me to do
what you can't do yourself.
Kang Taejun, you are...
Kang Taejun acted alone?
Yes, that was what he said.
It looks like
he will take the fault
and make it go away.
This means things won't go Hwigyeong's way
at the general meeting of the shareholders.
If Park Yugyeong becomes chairman,
Hwigyeong's company will go up for sale.
And if that happens, BSS might end up
losing the money we've invested.
The best solution for now
is to stop Park Yugyeong from becoming chairman.
What happened to Taejun,
you really didn't know about it?
Even if I didn't, I should.
What do you mean by that?
Did you or didn't you?
Why do you think Taejun did what he did?
He did it to stop Hwigyeong.
Who benefits from stopping Hwigyeong?
It's either you or Sejin.
He did it
because he knew that.
I feel a bit of responsibility, too.
So you're saying you didn't know at all?
Had I known,
I wouldn't be feeling so awful.
I don't understand.
Why would a smart guy like him do such a thing?
Don't tell Sejin for now.
She already has too much to deal with.
Of course.
Hwigyeong's name was cleared
just before the shareholders' meeting,
so it won't be an easy fight for you.
On top of what happened to Taejun,
we have Sejin to worry about too,
so why don't you withdraw?
I want to do that if I could.
But I can't anymore.
What do you mean?
I told you.
What about the board members and shareholders
who have been supporting me?
Stepping down without a decent fight
would be betraying them.
It's too late.
Your call is being forwarded to...
Kang Taejun, why can't I reach you? Why?
I'm stuck in a wheelchair,
but it's like nothing has changed for you.
Number 1367, you have a visitor.
Thank you for this.
That took you long enough.
I thought you'd rush over here.
The shareholders' meeting is in two days, remember?
I have to become chairman,
so we can resolve this.
I guess that's true.
I'll convince Hwigyeong to settle,
so give me a bit more time.
Uncle Hwigyeong said he's not going to settle.
You must find another way.
Why did you make Hwigyeong upset
instead of coaxing him to settle?
I told them I did it on my own,
like you ordered me to.
And you want me to
beg Uncle Hwigyeong to forgive me on top of that?
Just wait.
I can't wait for long.
You sound like
you're threatening me.
I wouldn't dare.
It's not like you'd fear me
even if I threatened you.
If you know that, just sit tight.
Sure. I will.
But before that,
you should know one thing.
I won't go down that easy.
I will remember that.
I didn't tell Sejin about this.
I told her you went to Shanghai on business,
so remember that.
There's a fifty-fifty chance.
All the large shareholders have
RSVP'd.
The support the two sides have
is neck and neck.
It looks like the casting vote
belongs to the shareholder named Mr. An,
but he's never been seen before,
and no-one's ever met him.
I've already gotten
a message from Mr. An.
It's not bad news.
Really?
We have a chance, then.
I thought Mr. An was going to come in person,
but he must be very busy.
If you tell me,
I'll deliver the message.
I know I shouldn't be asking, but let me say it.
I'm desperate for Mr. An's help.
This shareholders' meeting
might be my last chance.
I will deliver your message, Mr. Park.
If I may give you a tip,
no matter how many shares they have,
they all want one thing.
It's for Baekdo to grow stronger and bigger.
And Mr. An will make his decision based on
who will be able to make that possible.
What?
Taejun went on a business trip to Shanghai?
That makes no sense.
How could he go without saying a word to me?
I'm sure he didn't have time.
He caught a flight this afternoon.
There was an accident
at the construction site in Shanghai.
What kind of accident? Is it serious?
No, it's nothing serious,
but Taejun's in charge, so he had to go.
He might be too busy to answer any calls,
so don't get too anxious.
But your big day is coming,
so Taejun shouldn't be away.
Are you going to be okay?
You think I got here because of Taejun?
I can do a good job without him.
Good night.
You have a guest.
A guest?
At this hour?
He's here to see Mr. Jang.
He said he's Mr. Jang's friend.
My husband's friend?
Show him in.
A guest at this hour?
I felt the same thing last time I was here,
but this house has a nice scent.
And it feels warm.
Why did you come here?
I had business in the neighborhood,
and I thought I'd drop by
and say hello to Mr. Jang.
I guess he's not home.
He will be home soon.
He brought green tea cake
for Sejin.
Thank you for the coffee.
If you need anything else, please let me know.
Thank you.
How dare you show your face here!
Why are you scared? You're not being yourself.
A guest? Who?
He said he's a friend of Mr. Jang,
and he has a very kind face.
He brought this just for you.
Really?
Enjoy.
Ma'am!
What is it you want?
Why are you turning me into a crass man?
I'm not a pauper who came to steal from you.
I heard Sejin got hurt,
so I came to see how she was.
Why would you see Sejin?
Well, this has never happened before.
I've had several children who sought me out
because of my money,
but Sejin feels different.
What?
I have two daughters of my own,
but they don't take after me like Sejin does.
Both in appearance and character, I'm drawn to her.
Is it because she's my blood?
Stop talking crazy and get out.
My husband will be here soon.
Please leave. I'm begging you.
Mom?
Sejin.
Are you badly hurt?
Mom, what's he doing here?
Why did you let him in?
Make him leave now.
I'm really disappointed.
I rushed here because I was worried about you.
Mom, what are you waiting for?
Call the police. Call them.
Please leave. I'm begging you.
Oh, we have a guest?
Who is this?
It's the man from the magazine.
Aren't you Mr. Lee Giman?
Yes.
I was wondering about you. I'm glad we met.
You came here
a very long time ago, didn't you?
You haven't changed a bit.
I will see you again.
Mr. Lee, what are you doing at my house?
I'm glad you're here.
I had business in the neighborhood,
so I dropped by to say hello to you.
But you weren't home, so I was about to leave.
I'm sorry.
You came a long way,
but I was busy cleaning my office.
Why don't you stay for some tea?
Right. Come have a seat.
It's not like you're banned from here.
Go to your room. Hurry.
What are you doing? I know him!
I'm happy to see him again.
I think it's really late.
I'll come back another time.
I'm sorry for the inconvenience.
I will formally invite you next time.
I'll look forward to it. Good night.
Dad,
what happened to Taejun?
What?
He had to go on a business trip.
He'll be back as soon as things are resolved.
I heard there was an accident.
Is it serious?
It's not.
Taejun will take care of it.
Dad?
Yes?
Be careful.
Is there anything else you need?
Just tell me.
I'll be your hands and feet and take care of it.
Thank you, dad.
Silly, that was nothing.
Your dad
is still strong enough to do anything for you,
so you can order me around.
I'll do everything until Taejun comes home.
If you keep this up,
I might not want Taejun to come home.
Sleep tight.
Call me if you need anything.
Okay.
I'm so sorry, dad.
Take a look.
I only wrote down the most basic things.
List of wedding gifts.
A diamond ring, a mink coat, a limited edition bag
for the mother-in-law.
And what else?
A 100 year supply of baked chicken?
Ma'am!
Geumbong, I'm doing this for you.
If you don't bring enough wedding gifts,
your mother-in-law will be mean to you.
Of course I wouldn't do that,
but who knows?
Let's just prevent things from happening.
Get that woman out of my face,
Pungdal!
Okay.
This is wrong, Cutie.
Let's go.
Yang Malsuk!
You begged me to accept your daughter, so I did,
and now you're changing your mind?
Heaven will punish you.
Please leave.
You already ruined your son's reputation,
so please just leave!
Let go. I can't leave until I get it.
Get what?
What do you need to leave?
Here. Please leave.
What's this?
I'm leaving.
Yang Malsuk, I said what I came to say,
so if you don't want to break your girl's heart,
get everything on the list.
Let's just go, please.
I'll talk to her.
I'm sorry, Malsuk. We're leaving.
Did she pay for that chicken?
You should've paid for this.
Why did you just leave?
I don't have any money.
Why not?
Wait,
did you spend all the money for Gwang's wedding?
Don't worry.
Taejun is a good son,
so I'm sure he'll give me more.
Cutie, if you dream big,
your disappointment will be just as big.
You don't believe me?
You want me to prove it to you?
It's okay. You'll only get hurt.
I won't.
Your call is being forwarded to an automated...
What?
He's avoiding my calls
because I might ask for more money?
Did you see Sejin?
I think her legs are badly hurt,
but she won't let me near her.
I'm sure.
Sejin's really nervous right now.
She's afraid
she might be abandoned by
Mr. Jang Gyeongwan who raised her.
That's disappointing.
Excuse me?
Isn't that being too timid for her?
In my opinion, even if Mr. Jang
found out Sejin's not his blood,
he wouldn't abandon her just like that.
You're right.
But
if Mr. Jang had a real daughter,
that would change everything.
And things would get worse
if that daughter died
because of Sejin.
What are you talking about?
You're saying Mr. Jang had a daughter?
And she
died because of Sejin?
Yes.
If that was the case, do you think
Mr. Jang would still accept Sejin as his daughter?
What do you want from me?
Mr. Jang
is going to turn his back on Sejin soon.
And he's going to be very cruel.
Don't you think
you should be there for her when that happens?
Continue.
Excuse me for saying this,
but I heard you and your wife are separated.
And your two daughters are not speaking to you.
What is it you want to say?
Tomorrow
Baekdo's new chairman will be elected.
It's still a fifty-fifty chance,
but the person you know is the leading candidate.
Baekdo Group's chairman, Park Yugyeong,
and her heir Jang Sejin.
What do you think?
Doesn't that sound appealing to you?
What are you doing here?
Did you move in with Dohui's parents?
Yes.
Good.
What do you want?
I have to go in.
What is that?
Look at it inside. It's late.
I don't have good taste,
but will you accept this?
I hope your future
is filled with happy times.
I wouldn't dare wish to
be treated as your dad.
All I can do is beat my chest
for my cowardice and ignorance
that stopped me from recognizing you 20 years ago.
Though it's late,
I hope your future is filled with happy times.
It's okay if you hate me
or despise me.
But stay where you are.
I will announce the results of the voting.
The shares owned by
Park Yugyeong and Park Hwigyeong
and their supporters were added,
and Park Hwigyeong
is ahead by 2.5%.
We won!
However, one of the large shareholders
who had RSVP'd was a no-show,
so his shares were not added.
That means
Mr. Park Hwigyeong
is the third chairman of Baekdo.
Just a second.
I'm sorry I'm late.
But I'm going to cast my vote for the election.
Let me introduce myself to you.
I am the representative of Ms. An Seongju
who owns 3% of Baekdo stocks.
I'm Baek Dohui.
Here's my ID and power of attorney letter.
Okay.
Ms. An Seongju owns 3% of Baekdo Stocks,
so let us know what she wants.
I will.
I will announce which candidate
Ms. An Seongju supports.
Ms. An Seongju
supports Ms. Park Yugyeong.
And that puts Ms. Park Yugyeong
0.5% ahead of Mr. Park Hwigyeong,
so she's the third chairman of Baekdo.
Is that true?
My mom was elected the new chairman?
- Congratulations. / - Thank you.
- Congratulations. / - Thank you.
Congratulations.
You have a knack for surprising people.
It's too early for you to be satisfied.
You're the new chairman of Baekdo,
so you should be excited.
It's just the beginning.
Nayeon supported my mom
at the shareholders' meeting?
Why didn't you tell me sooner?
You could've told me.
Let's trust Dohui.
I'm sure she has plans of her own.
Stop hitting on me.
Now that I'm chairman,
you're having second thoughts?
Is there anything you're hiding from me?
Are you happy now?
Do you feel better seeing me like this?
Don't be too quick to give up.
If you give up,
we can't stop Park Yugyeong.
