Shining Inheritance (2009): Season 1, Episode 24 - Episode #1.24 - full transcript
Hwan confronts Seung Mi about the lies she's told him regarding Eun Sung. Because of her weak condition, plans are made to dismiss Sook Ja as president of the company.
Grandma!
Grandma!
Grandma! Are you okay?
Are you?
Grandma can't speak! Get the doctor!
Grandma!
-Did she really wake up?
-Yes, doctor.
-Did she wake up?
-Yes.
Alright, Hwan!
We'll be right over!
Mr. Pyo! Mother woke up!
Did she really wake up?
Yes! She finally woke up!
She did?
Jeong!
Jeong!
Doctor, will my grandmother be okay now?
The worst is over for now.
Her blood tests are showing normal too.
That will be all.
What happened?
How...
How were you two together?
We just happened to be.
Then...
I'll leave
before the rest of the family arrives.
Go...
and wait.
Sorry?
I said wait.
Okay.
I hope you'll recover soon.
I'll leave now.
How long...
have I been like this?
One week.
Today is the eighth day.
What about the company?
You're worrying too much.
It's operating well, so don't worry.
Thank you!
Thank you!
Grandma! Do you know how worried I was?
Me too! I was afraid that you'd leave us!
A day seemed like 3,000 days!
Mr. Pyo!
You were strong when she lost
her consciousness,
but you're crying now?
I...
cry when I am happy.
Mother, Hwan didn't come home even once
and stayed by your side.
I have a lot to make up for.
To Grandma...
Thank you.
Everyone did well.
-She woke up?
-Yes!
I woke up early in the morning
and saw Grandma
staring at us like this with her eyes.
I thought my heart was going to stop!
She really is a tough one!
I thought she might pass away like that.
By the way, what did you just say? "Us"?
You clearly said "us"!
What?
Oh, what happened was--
You two are using Grandma
as an excuse, aren't you?
No!
We just fell asleep
while taking care of Grandma.
Okay, fine.
Now I'm going to feel much better.
Huh?
Now that she's up,
I won't have to see
this unpleasant relationship of three,
no four, including Jun-se, anymore.
You clearly told me that you'll leave
after saying goodbye to Grandma.
The cruise restaurant!
Oh, right.
I told him I would give him the answer
by this week.
Oh, I slept here!
Yes, you did.
By the way,
that's my room.
Did you sleep well?
Yes. It's been a while since I slept
on such a comfortable bed.
I'm sorry to have bothered you, Mr. Lee.
You carried Jun-se home, so no problem.
And I'm also living off of him,
so I can't say much.
Well, you are saying
something right today.
Go wash up, mister. Breakfast is ready.
Did I make any mistakes yesterday?
You were carried home!
What happened to him yesterday?
He kept drinking without a word.
By the way, what you mentioned yesterday,
just let me know if I can help.
It's fine.
You mustn't feel like doing anything.
Then give me a call later, okay?
Okay. If I really can't find a way,
I'll give you a call.
What's going on?
It's not like she's going to
die overnight.
You stayed up the whole night?
Grandma woke up.
She did?
Yes. She regained consciousness
this morning.
That old woman is tenacious.
It's fine. It doesn't matter.
What's fine?
Even if she woke up,
she's just an old woman with Alzheimer's.
Hwan must be happy that she woke up.
Eun-sung is going to file a suit
against you.
File a suit?
About what?
For her father's insurance money?
She can do what she wants.
Do you know what happens
if you can't prove that you paid the debt?
Trials take at least a year.
Do you think I didn't prepare for this?
Let's have breakfast.
She woke up?
Okay, yes...
I'll meet you there at two o'clock.
She really is strong.
At the meeting of small shareholders,
people are already saying that
something should be done about Ms. Jang.
Wouldn't it be hard to continue like this?
This is a list of shareholders...
I just need to set up the game, right?
The set-up is the most important part.
It will be essential for the resolution
of the temporary meeting.
No matter how important the set-up is,
the result is what really matters.
Now that I'm okay,
you go to work.
Work?
You said you would...
work for two months...
at the second branch.
You have to finish it.
I'm going to stay until you're discharged
from the hospital.
We'll talk about my future then.
Mother! Seung-mi's here.
Grandma...
Mother, Seung-mi stayed up all night
with Hwan
and brought food for us too.
That's nice.
You did well.
It's nothing.
I'm glad that you're okay.
Can you decide if you'll work
for the cruise restaurant by next week?
So that I can proceed with the project.
There is no man in the world
who would just rather stay friends forever
with a woman that he likes.
I want to be there for you
until you find Eun-u.
You may have to wait a long time.
Why do you think of that as waiting?
I'll still be spending time with you
all along.
I hope you get well soon, then.
Grandma, I'll drive her home
and come back.
Drive Seung-mi back...
and get some sleep at home.
No, you don't have to drive me home.
Grandma's okay now.
-Hye-ri!
-Hi!
Jun-se's not here yet.
He said he'll be here any minute.
I'll wait inside.
I see you've finally picked up the hammer.
Hammer?
You're here
to smash Jun-se's heart into pieces,
aren't you?
I should have told you this earlier.
I'm sorry for taking so long.
Maybe it's because of how I first met you.
I wanted to treat you well.
You always seemed so fragile
so I wanted to protect you.
Until now, I've never liked anyone.
So I never thought in depth
about how you felt about me.
I'm not saying I didn't know at all.
You were...
just comfortable to be with.
So it's been like that.
But I can't anymore.
Is it because of Eun-sung?
is it because you like Eun-sung?
Yes.
Don't you know who she is?
How could you choose Eun-sung over me?
What did you hear from her
that you're like this to me?
I didn't hear anything.
You didn't?
I didn't, but...
I know that what you
and your mother have said
about Eun-sung isn't
all 100 percent true.
It doesn't mean
I think it's a 100 percent lie, either.
I know you.
I've seen you.
What are you saying?
I hope you can take responsibility
for the things you have said wrong.
Of what? Take responsibility for what?
You said you didn't hear anything
from Eun-sung.
Why are you doing this to me?
My memories told me.
When I went to your room,
you said that you put out my pictures
for the first time after you moved.
Remember the club we went to
on Jeong's birthday?
It was the day you left early because
your mother was sick.
After you left,
Eun-sung went through a lot because of me.
Because of the bags.
If she knew who I was, she would have said
that she left my bag at your place.
That was before Eun-sung met my grandma.
She had no reason
to pretend not to know me
and go through all of that.
I broke Eun-sung's phone
when she tried to call you.
And you changed your number around then.
It wasn't Eun-sung who cut the ties,
it was you.
I hope...
you solve this problem
in the way that the Seung-mi I know would.
What if...
everything I told you are lies?
Then you'll call me a bad person,
and just leave me for Eun-sung?
Are you looking for an excuse
to go to Eun-sung?
I'm saying I can't accept your feelings.
I want to go,
but I know I can't leave you like this.
It's too late.
It's way too late.
You really are selfish.
After making me only be able to want you.
You are the first one I met
after getting interested in boys.
We were always together on our birthdays,
on Christmases, when you were sick,
on your graduation,
and when you left for the States.
You kept me by your side
and made me fall for you.
And now you're telling me to give up
because you can't like me?
How can you do this?
And it has to be because of Eun-sung
out of all people?
Why does it have to be Eun-sung?
Just tell me to die instead.
You said you have something to tell me.
So tell me.
The cruise restaurant
that you mentioned before...
I don't think I can do it.
Why?
I don't feel good about going far
while I haven't found Eun-u yet.
And I...
feel sorry about bothering you.
Am I...
pressuring you too much?
It's not that you're pressuring me.
I just feel sorry.
The promise that we made
that you can wait for me
until I find Eun-u...
I don't think I can keep it.
My heart is a burden to you...
because of Hwan.
I hoped that you wouldn't feel the same.
I hoped that it was just Hwan alone...
Why Hwan?
Why does it have to be Hwan?
He's not someone
who can treat you better or care for you
or even make you happier than I can.
You can't even love him freely, so why?
I'm not doing this
to get a chance with him.
I...
haven't felt sorry
for the things you've done for me.
I was thankful.
I never felt sorry like this before.
Do you think
I was fine
just looking at you from a distance?
Your situation was so serious,
so I just helped you with what I could
and just stood by your side thinking
that it was the best for you.
I didn't want to burden you
who was already having a difficult time
with my heart too.
I know.
But if I knew that you would fall
for someone
who expressed their feelings like him,
I would have done something.
That's not it.
I didn't know...
that I would be like this either.
You wouldn't know how I felt.
Getting mad when I don't deserve to...
Wanting to hug you when I know I can't...
And not being able
to do anything as I watch you leave me...
I'm sorry.
Eun-sung.
Even now,
I'm just worried about you.
What are we going to do?
How did you...
How did you find this place?
I just did.
You really are something.
Why did you look for my place
in the first place?
-I have a favor to ask.
-Don't say anything.
You...
don't deserve to say anything to me.
But you know why.
You know why I had to do that.
Are you asking me to understand you?
What would you have done?
Would you have told the truth?
That Mom took your dad's insurance money
and kicked you out
without even letting me know?
Would you have said all that
to Hwan, his mother, and Grandma?
Yes, I would have.
See?
That's how little Hwan means to you.
You can still live without him.
So...
would you die?
Look at how I threw away my morals
and what I've done to you.
If he ends up with you, how would I live?
I wanted to believe
that you were that kind of person instead.
I couldn't make you that kind of person
in front of Hwan and his family,
and turn to you and say,
"Sorry, I had no choice."
I just couldn't.
So instead,
you decided to be that cruel to me?
Grandma and Hwan still believe you anyway!
Do you know how miserable I felt?
Please, Eun-sung.
If you just disappear,
Hwan will stay with me.
Do you think
I'll do that for you?
If Hwan chooses to be with you,
I'll die in front of your eyes.
So even if he chooses you,
you have to stop him.
I don't care if you die.
Why should I care?
Who are you to me?
Save me, Eun-sung.
Save me, please.
What should I do now?
What would you do?
Chief said that
low-grade bones and meat
were delivered to the factory.
What happened?
We modified our order
and lowered the grade.
Lowered the grade?
Mr. Park!
Did you take this opportunity
while I was sick
and lower the unit price?
That's not it, Ms. Jang.
The company ran out of
operating funds so we had no choice.
Why did we run out of operating funds?
Purchasing of the site for
the South Factory took a toll on us.
The planning of the new factory included
the fees for construction and equipment.
In addition,
I really didn't want to tell you this,
but frankly,
as you lost consciousness,
your will became an issue.
What?
A rumor spread that you're unconscious
and the will states that you're leaving
the company to an inexperienced person.
Our stock value dropped
and our business partners
began to charge us for immediate payments.
We really had no choice
but to lower the unit price.
Things are just getting worse...
Until things settle down a bit,
let's lower the grade for a month or two.
A month or two?
The very basic of seolleongtang is
the quality of the bones and meat.
The best quality and devotion...
That's what Jinsung promised to
its customers.
That can't be broken even for a day,
but for a month or two?
Get the best quality ingredients now!
-Ms. Jang!
-Right now!
I told you to get
ingredients of the same quality.
We haven't even made the payment
for this delivery yet.
We have 97 restaurants
and an online shopping mall.
You know better than anybody
how much the payment for a month is!
Where do we get that money?
The company's barely operating
on franchise revenues.
Because of the rumor,
all types of loans have been blocked,
and banks have turned against us.
Can't you let it go just this once?
I can sell some of my shares.
Mr. Jeong,
go back to the office and report to me
how much money is needed.
Ms. Jang!
If we lose the taste,
Jinsung isn't Jinsung anymore.
A promise should be kept.
Make sure you get the numbers right.
Don't worry about it.
-Mr. Park!
-Hwan!
I'm glad we met. I was going to drop by
the office to see you.
Why?
I was wondering how things were going.
The stocks seem to be staying low.
How is the company doing?
Why would you care about that
when your grandma is awake?
I just made a report to your grandma,
so you just take good care of her.
EXTRAORDINARY SHAREHOLDER MEETING AGENDA
REGARDING THE DISMISSAL OF THE CHAIRMAN
I look forward to it.
Most of the damage has been recovered,
but she still has brain atrophy,
so she needs to come in
once a month for CT scans.
She wants to go to work,
but would that be okay?
She'll be fine
as long as she doesn't work too hard.
You can go back to your normal diet,
but be careful
not to bump your head anywhere
-Welcome back, ma'am.
-Yes.
It's good to see you at home again.
I'm so glad
that I made it back to this house.
Oh, my.
I don't have a problem with walking.
Mother,
if you need anything, just let me know.
I'll do everything for you.
Really? Anything?
Of course!
I really mean it.
I got married when I was 21.
Before Min-seok died,
both of my parents passed away.
Without you, I'll be an orphan!
Listen to her.
An orphan at your age?
You're old enough
to get a son-in-law soon.
You're an orphan
if you don't have parents.
Then could you bring me a cup of tea?
-You stay here, Mr. Pyo.
-Yes.
My children
all know too, right?
-About my brain disease?
-Yes.
But since you kept it a secret,
they decided not to mention it
before you mention it first.
-It was Hwan's idea.
-Hwan?
I guess it was worth
being on the verge of death.
There's so much to do.
How's the research
on Seung-mi's family going?
Thank you, come again!
Hello?
It's me.
Yes.
I was waiting for your call.
So how did it go?
Did you find anyone who's been
in contact with Hye-ri?
Oh, I did barely find
a friend of a friend of Hye-ri's.
You said Hye-ri was Eun-sung's
high school friend, right?
I heard that she emigrated.
Emigrated?
When?
I heard that it's been one or two years.
She went with her family
to either Canada or Australia.
I'm still looking to see
if I can find out more,
so call me back in about ten days.
Hye-ri emigrated with her parents?
Hye-ri's mother passed away
when she was in 12th grade,
so Eun-sung even asked me
to pay for Hye-ri's tuition.
SEOUL WELFARE CENTER
Did you have fun?
I studied too!
Only then, I can play piano.
You lead the way this time.
Let's see if you know the way.
Make a right turn at the eel restaurant.
A crosswalk in front of the bank!
Go when the light is green.
Left turn after crossing the street.
Tasty bakery and fresh fruits!
I think I can let him go around alone now.
Grandma and you are like lovers.
She says, "Go wait for me."
And you're here just waiting for her.
Yeah, I guess.
But why did she tell you to wait for her?
SUNWOO HWAN
Grandma's home now, and I'll be going back
to the second branch tomorrow.
What's making you smile?
Grandma's back home!
Really? That's great!
I thought nothing was going on
between you two.
But now you guys are texting each other?
And you knocked Jun-se out
in one blow of your hammer!
Hey!
I just think
it's better for us to give each other time
until we can go back
to how we were before.
Did she break her fingers or something?
Mr. Park?
Mr. Park, what brings you here so early?
I have something to tell Ms. Jang.
An extraordinary shareholder meeting?
What do you mean?
The agenda is
on the dismissal of the chairman.
"Dismissal of the chairman"?
Did you say the dismissal of the chairman?
What are you talking about?
Do they want to get rid of Mother
from the chairman position?
What happened?
The small stockholders
requested for a general meeting
and the board just joined in.
You too?
Yes.
I think it's time for you to rest now.
What are you saying?
Since I became a manager,
I have been buying
some of our company's stock.
An extraordinary shareholder meeting
has been arranged.
But the agenda is
on the dismissal of the chairman.
If it's dismissal of the chairman,
do you mean Ms. Jang?
What this means is that
they'll take her off the board too
and completely remove her
from the company.
How can that be? She made this company!
Get rid of her?
I'm sorry, Ms. Jang.
Your will saying that
you'll be leaving the company
to someone inexperienced
along with the news
about your condition...
That's how things turned out this way.
Why didn't you tell me
that my condition was on the news?
We were going to tell you
once you found some rest.
This is why I kept it a secret.
I wanted to take care of things myself.
Kick me out?
I built up this company from the ground.
I'm sorry.
Can they dismiss you when you hold
such a big share of the company?
If Mr. Oh and Chief are on my side,
then the votes of the board
are divided exactly in half.
So the rest depends on
the small shareholders.
Don't worry, Grandma. I'll look into it.
You're not completely well,
so you shouldn't get stressed.
Who's going to kick you out?
It's not happening.
Then I'll trust you and
see you at the meeting.
I have to hang up.
Mr. Park!
How can you do this to us?
This is none of your business.
It's my grandmother!
You know what this company means
to my grandmother!
You are the one who caused this!
Had you not lost the company to that girl,
this wouldn't have happened!
Look who's here?
So you're the grandson of the chairman
who never showed up at the company?
I'm sorry.
I should have come to see you earlier
but I was immature back then.
You had no interest in the company,
but why are you here now?
It's too late. Go back!
Hwan.
How have you been?
I found out today.
How's Grandma?
She's in shock.
You don't look so good.
Hwan.
If there's anything I can help with,
just let me know.
It can be how the company's doing,
or anything else.
Then...
do you know if I can get a copy of
the company's account book?
Account book?
When you showed me the data last time,
the company seemed pretty strong.
Even with the rumor,
the financial problems can't be this bad.
I'll look into it.
You will?
Data processing was my minor.
I'll do anything I can to help you.
What are you going to do now?
Are you just going to wait
until the shareholder meeting?
No, I can't.
I need to go visit other shareholders,
so I'll be going now.
Okay. Good luck.
-I'll be counting on you.
-Yes.
KO EUN-SUNG
What's up?
Where are you right now?
Come here, quick!
Why are you out here?
Did you eat yet?
Are you worried about that?
Let's go inside. Everyone's waiting.
Cutting down on the employee wages?
If the employees can agree on
just a 30 percent cut on their wages,
that's pretty big.
Since financial difficulty is
one of the issues,
let's get help from the employees.
We decided to collect the shares
from the employees too.
The shares employees have isn't that much.
The best thing we can do
at this point is to show
how much the employees want
Grandma to remain as the chairman.
We have to persuade the shareholders
and have them vote against the dismissal.
Would the employees agree to it?
We'll have to go around convincing them.
Mr. Lee will visit the restaurants
in the rural areas.
The three of us can visit those
around Seoul.
Then could you ask
the employees around Seoul
to come to the factory?
To the factory? Why?
How can we visit all of the restaurants?
Since we don't have enough time,
I'll try to convince the factory employees
and one or two employees sent
from each of the restaurants.
Why didn't we think of that before?
I told you this would happen.
Who would leave the company
to an old lady with dementia?
What will happen to Grandma?
What could happen?
She's sick, so she can rest now.
She'll just lose management rights.
Her money will remain.
Rather, this might be better for Hwan.
He won't have to worry
about losing his inheritance to Eun-sung.
If the company is taken from Ms. Jang,
Eun-sung will not be needed anymore.
And her will would be canceled too.
Then,
Eun-sung won't have a reason
to be with Grandma.
That doesn't mean that she'll disappear
from Hwan's side.
Well, I don't know
how much Hwan likes Eun-sung.
But would he still like her
after losing the company because of her?
Even if he does,
Yeong-ran won't just sit there.
Also, with the company gone,
Hwan will have to prepare
for a new future.
A new future?
Wouldn't he have to finish up his studies
or start his own business?
He'll probably,
have to finish his studies first
before starting a business.
When that happens, go with him.
I can?
Of course, you should.
Eun-sung can never leave this country
without Eun-u.
I'll take care of Eun-sung here.
You just prepare yourself for it.
How are you so sure that Grandma
will be dismissed?
Would Mr. Park have started this
if he wasn't so sure?
What do you mean?
Father, what's going on?
Did you agree to arranging the meeting
to get Ms. Jang dismissed?
Is it true?
In many ways, she's not in good health.
Her surgery went well
and it's only the early stage of dementia.
She has enough time
to sort things out by herself!
And she chose Eun-sung for that.
Nobody wants Eun-sung here.
I'm busy, so hang up.
Father!
Chief said you'll have an hour
from two o'clock.
And one or two employees
from each of the restaurants near Seoul
will be coming, too.
Thank you.
I'll go early and get ready.
I'll go once I pick up the forms for
power of attorney and wage cut consents.
Su-jae and I'll go after the lunch peak.
Good-luck.
Mr. Lee! Su-jae! Do you have a camcorder?
I don't have one.
What's it for?
I wanted to record it
and upload it online.
Then the employees
in the rural areas can watch it.
It is a good idea,
but where can we get a camcorder now?
I have a camcorder in my car.
Jun-se...
So, Hwan
will try to convince the employees
who are gathered at the factory?
We couldn't just sit here and--
Eun-sung.
My father and I have
very different opinions.
I can't stop my father by myself,
but I want to help Grandma.
Let's talk in detail on our way.
I'll drive you to the factory.
No, it's fine.
You also need to visit the printing shop
and there isn't much time.
This isn't about us, so don't worry.
I'll just drop you off.
Look likes everyone's here.
Don't put up too much hope.
Just do your best.
JINSUNG SEOLLEONGTANG
Hello, everyone.
Some of you may know me,
some of you may not.
Let me introduce myself.
I'm Sunwoo Hwan.
I'm the grandson of Ms. Jang
of Jinsung Food Company.
-I heard that he's a real jerk.
-Me too.
-Yeah, that's what I heard too!
-He even threw money.
-Hurry up and go inside.
-Thank you, Jun-se.
Grandma thinks of the employees
as her family.
Because she tried to manage the company
for the employees,
the board and the shareholders
turned against her.
If she's dismissed from her position now,
this will no longer be a company
where employees are considered family.
She's got Alzheimer's!
How would she manage a company?
It's so subtle
that not even the family knew.
I'm not saying that she'll
run the company until the end.
She just needs time to sort things out
by herself.
And your help is needed for that.
That way, I can convince the shareholders.
Without your help,
the 30 years of her life
will be in vain.
Is he really doing this for Ms. Jang?
I heard he beat up the main store manager
and threw money at his face.
What a jerk!
I admit.
I was a jerk.
So my grandmother had given up on me!
But
she chose you instead.
She would tell me
that she may have built this company
but that it wasn't hers or my family's.
She said it was the lives and livelihood
of the 1,173 employees of the company.
Rather than her children's lives,
she said that the lives of the employees
and their families were more important.
If you know of Grandma's determination,
please don't get rid of her like this.
Please don't make
my Grandma lonely.
I plead you.
I'm Lee Jun-hyeong,
the manager of the second branch.
I'm the one this guy threw money at.
But now, I trust him.
This is the consent of all employees
at the second location.
I'll sign the consent form
and entrust 90 shares of my stock.
Can it be a small amount?
I have 250 shares.
I'll entrust my money I prepared
for my marriage.
Ms. Jang said I won't be able
to get married before I lose weight.
-I'll help too!
-Me too!
Me too!
Me too!
Don't look at me. It's embarrassing.
What's so embarrassing?
You saw how the employees
were looking at me.
They were thinking,
"What could that jerk be planning?"
That's because they don't know
that you changed yet.
The factory employees
didn't look at you like that.
How did they look at me?
"He used to work here,
but he wasn't that big of a jerk."
"I heard he matured at the second branch!"
"He wasn't a bastard
to start with anyway."
Don't make your thoughts
sound like others'.
What?
There's only one person in this world...
who can say I wasn't
a bastard to start with.
Everything else was true except for that.
Wait.
Wait for what?
You just wait.
I WANTED TO SHARE THIS VIDEO WITH EVERYONE
MESSAGE HAS BEEN POSTED
Grandma thinks of the employees
as her family.
Because she tried to manage the company
for the employees,
the board and the shareholders
turned against her.
If she's dismissed from her position now,
this will no longer be a company
where employees are considered family.
Thank you, come again!
-You're here!
-Hello.
I'm sorry. This was all I could get.
Really?

Do you know if I can get a copy of

When you showed me the data last time,
the company seemed pretty strong.
Even with the rumor,
the financial problems can't be this bad
in such a short time.

EXTRAORDINARY SHAREHOLDER MEETING DETAILS
Come to the meeting tomorrow
and vote for
the dismissal of the chairman.
Father!
If my calculations are right,
the shares of Ms. Jang and the rest
are almost equal to our shares.
So you...
SHAREHOLDER'S NAME
PARK JUN-SE
bought shares under my name?
It's just enough to be not made public.
So your vote tomorrow
will make all the difference.
Are you telling me to remove Grandma?
If you don't,
your father dies.
This money...
How did you get such a big sum?
That is why...
if you don't stand on my side,
your father's life will come to an end.
Father...
How could you?
I'm just borrowing it to save the company.
Once I take over,
I'll return it to the company.
How could you even think of doing this?
I'm not taking everything away from her!
I'll just get the management rights.
She's too old-minded to run the company.
A company isn't volunteer work.
She even has Alzheimer's now.
She lost her qualifications
to run the company!
I can't, father.
-You can't?
-I can't.
-I'm your father!
-Father!
Morals do not exist
when it is for family.
You only have one choice.
If you don't agree to the dismissal
of Ms. Jang tomorrow,
you'll be cutting my throat.
Mr. Park's son is the secret weapon.
If the company is taken from Ms. Jang,
Eun-sung will not be needed anymore.
And her will would be canceled too.
Then, Eun-sung won't have a reason
to be with Grandma.
CALLING
HWAN
LIST OF EMPLOYEES
Yes, thank you. I'll go pick it up
tomorrow morning.
SEUNG-MI
Hey, Seung-mi. How did it go?
Did you find out anything?
I'm sorry, Hwan.
I couldn't find anything.
I see.
Thank you for helping me.
SEUNG-MI
This is Jun-se.
As of today, 60 percent of the employees
agreed to the wage cut.
Did you say 60 percent?
If I sum up the ones coming in
through the mail tomorrow morning,
I think it'll be around 70 percent.
So I didn't live my years in vain.
If you didn't sell your shares,
we wouldn't have to worry about this.
This is all destiny.
Even if...
you do get dismissed,
stay strong.
What is it that you had to tell me today?
There's something that you must see.
What's this?
I found it while I was investigating
the flow of the company's funding.
2009 FIRST QUARTER ACCOUNT BOOK
DIFFERENCE
Mr. Park...
is involved in it.
Why are you showing me this?
If Ms. Jang does not get dismissed
tomorrow,
this double bookkeeping will go public.
Are you threatening me?
If things work out as Mr. Park wants,
Eun-sung will leave Hwan's side.
Isn't that what you want too?
Is this how desperate you are for Hwan?
Even if Eun-sung leaves,
that doesn't mean that Hwan will be yours.
This is all I can do.
It's finally the day. I wish you the best.
When it's over, you'll let me know, right?
Of course. You don't have to worry.
I'll be waiting.
Thank you.

THE FIFTH
JINSUNG EXTRAORDINARY SHAREHOLDER MEETING
Ms. Jang.
Please sit over there.
BALLOT BOX
-I'm sorry, the person you called is...
-You little!
What's wrong with Mr. Park?
I don't know.
We will now begin
the board of directors' meeting
on the dismissal of the chairman
of Jinsung Food Company.
Subtitle translation by Blake Lee
Grandma!
Grandma! Are you okay?
Are you?
Grandma can't speak! Get the doctor!
Grandma!
-Did she really wake up?
-Yes, doctor.
-Did she wake up?
-Yes.
Alright, Hwan!
We'll be right over!
Mr. Pyo! Mother woke up!
Did she really wake up?
Yes! She finally woke up!
She did?
Jeong!
Jeong!
Doctor, will my grandmother be okay now?
The worst is over for now.
Her blood tests are showing normal too.
That will be all.
What happened?
How...
How were you two together?
We just happened to be.
Then...
I'll leave
before the rest of the family arrives.
Go...
and wait.
Sorry?
I said wait.
Okay.
I hope you'll recover soon.
I'll leave now.
How long...
have I been like this?
One week.
Today is the eighth day.
What about the company?
You're worrying too much.
It's operating well, so don't worry.
Thank you!
Thank you!
Grandma! Do you know how worried I was?
Me too! I was afraid that you'd leave us!
A day seemed like 3,000 days!
Mr. Pyo!
You were strong when she lost
her consciousness,
but you're crying now?
I...
cry when I am happy.
Mother, Hwan didn't come home even once
and stayed by your side.
I have a lot to make up for.
To Grandma...
Thank you.
Everyone did well.
-She woke up?
-Yes!
I woke up early in the morning
and saw Grandma
staring at us like this with her eyes.
I thought my heart was going to stop!
She really is a tough one!
I thought she might pass away like that.
By the way, what did you just say? "Us"?
You clearly said "us"!
What?
Oh, what happened was--
You two are using Grandma
as an excuse, aren't you?
No!
We just fell asleep
while taking care of Grandma.
Okay, fine.
Now I'm going to feel much better.
Huh?
Now that she's up,
I won't have to see
this unpleasant relationship of three,
no four, including Jun-se, anymore.
You clearly told me that you'll leave
after saying goodbye to Grandma.
The cruise restaurant!
Oh, right.
I told him I would give him the answer
by this week.
Oh, I slept here!
Yes, you did.
By the way,
that's my room.
Did you sleep well?
Yes. It's been a while since I slept
on such a comfortable bed.
I'm sorry to have bothered you, Mr. Lee.
You carried Jun-se home, so no problem.
And I'm also living off of him,
so I can't say much.
Well, you are saying
something right today.
Go wash up, mister. Breakfast is ready.
Did I make any mistakes yesterday?
You were carried home!
What happened to him yesterday?
He kept drinking without a word.
By the way, what you mentioned yesterday,
just let me know if I can help.
It's fine.
You mustn't feel like doing anything.
Then give me a call later, okay?
Okay. If I really can't find a way,
I'll give you a call.
What's going on?
It's not like she's going to
die overnight.
You stayed up the whole night?
Grandma woke up.
She did?
Yes. She regained consciousness
this morning.
That old woman is tenacious.
It's fine. It doesn't matter.
What's fine?
Even if she woke up,
she's just an old woman with Alzheimer's.
Hwan must be happy that she woke up.
Eun-sung is going to file a suit
against you.
File a suit?
About what?
For her father's insurance money?
She can do what she wants.
Do you know what happens
if you can't prove that you paid the debt?
Trials take at least a year.
Do you think I didn't prepare for this?
Let's have breakfast.
She woke up?
Okay, yes...
I'll meet you there at two o'clock.
She really is strong.
At the meeting of small shareholders,
people are already saying that
something should be done about Ms. Jang.
Wouldn't it be hard to continue like this?
This is a list of shareholders...
I just need to set up the game, right?
The set-up is the most important part.
It will be essential for the resolution
of the temporary meeting.
No matter how important the set-up is,
the result is what really matters.
Now that I'm okay,
you go to work.
Work?
You said you would...
work for two months...
at the second branch.
You have to finish it.
I'm going to stay until you're discharged
from the hospital.
We'll talk about my future then.
Mother! Seung-mi's here.
Grandma...
Mother, Seung-mi stayed up all night
with Hwan
and brought food for us too.
That's nice.
You did well.
It's nothing.
I'm glad that you're okay.
Can you decide if you'll work
for the cruise restaurant by next week?
So that I can proceed with the project.
There is no man in the world
who would just rather stay friends forever
with a woman that he likes.
I want to be there for you
until you find Eun-u.
You may have to wait a long time.
Why do you think of that as waiting?
I'll still be spending time with you
all along.
I hope you get well soon, then.
Grandma, I'll drive her home
and come back.
Drive Seung-mi back...
and get some sleep at home.
No, you don't have to drive me home.
Grandma's okay now.
-Hye-ri!
-Hi!
Jun-se's not here yet.
He said he'll be here any minute.
I'll wait inside.
I see you've finally picked up the hammer.
Hammer?
You're here
to smash Jun-se's heart into pieces,
aren't you?
I should have told you this earlier.
I'm sorry for taking so long.
Maybe it's because of how I first met you.
I wanted to treat you well.
You always seemed so fragile
so I wanted to protect you.
Until now, I've never liked anyone.
So I never thought in depth
about how you felt about me.
I'm not saying I didn't know at all.
You were...
just comfortable to be with.
So it's been like that.
But I can't anymore.
Is it because of Eun-sung?
is it because you like Eun-sung?
Yes.
Don't you know who she is?
How could you choose Eun-sung over me?
What did you hear from her
that you're like this to me?
I didn't hear anything.
You didn't?
I didn't, but...
I know that what you
and your mother have said
about Eun-sung isn't
all 100 percent true.
It doesn't mean
I think it's a 100 percent lie, either.
I know you.
I've seen you.
What are you saying?
I hope you can take responsibility
for the things you have said wrong.
Of what? Take responsibility for what?
You said you didn't hear anything
from Eun-sung.
Why are you doing this to me?
My memories told me.
When I went to your room,
you said that you put out my pictures
for the first time after you moved.
Remember the club we went to
on Jeong's birthday?
It was the day you left early because
your mother was sick.
After you left,
Eun-sung went through a lot because of me.
Because of the bags.
If she knew who I was, she would have said
that she left my bag at your place.
That was before Eun-sung met my grandma.
She had no reason
to pretend not to know me
and go through all of that.
I broke Eun-sung's phone
when she tried to call you.
And you changed your number around then.
It wasn't Eun-sung who cut the ties,
it was you.
I hope...
you solve this problem
in the way that the Seung-mi I know would.
What if...
everything I told you are lies?
Then you'll call me a bad person,
and just leave me for Eun-sung?
Are you looking for an excuse
to go to Eun-sung?
I'm saying I can't accept your feelings.
I want to go,
but I know I can't leave you like this.
It's too late.
It's way too late.
You really are selfish.
After making me only be able to want you.
You are the first one I met
after getting interested in boys.
We were always together on our birthdays,
on Christmases, when you were sick,
on your graduation,
and when you left for the States.
You kept me by your side
and made me fall for you.
And now you're telling me to give up
because you can't like me?
How can you do this?
And it has to be because of Eun-sung
out of all people?
Why does it have to be Eun-sung?
Just tell me to die instead.
You said you have something to tell me.
So tell me.
The cruise restaurant
that you mentioned before...
I don't think I can do it.
Why?
I don't feel good about going far
while I haven't found Eun-u yet.
And I...
feel sorry about bothering you.
Am I...
pressuring you too much?
It's not that you're pressuring me.
I just feel sorry.
The promise that we made
that you can wait for me
until I find Eun-u...
I don't think I can keep it.
My heart is a burden to you...
because of Hwan.
I hoped that you wouldn't feel the same.
I hoped that it was just Hwan alone...
Why Hwan?
Why does it have to be Hwan?
He's not someone
who can treat you better or care for you
or even make you happier than I can.
You can't even love him freely, so why?
I'm not doing this
to get a chance with him.
I...
haven't felt sorry
for the things you've done for me.
I was thankful.
I never felt sorry like this before.
Do you think
I was fine
just looking at you from a distance?
Your situation was so serious,
so I just helped you with what I could
and just stood by your side thinking
that it was the best for you.
I didn't want to burden you
who was already having a difficult time
with my heart too.
I know.
But if I knew that you would fall
for someone
who expressed their feelings like him,
I would have done something.
That's not it.
I didn't know...
that I would be like this either.
You wouldn't know how I felt.
Getting mad when I don't deserve to...
Wanting to hug you when I know I can't...
And not being able
to do anything as I watch you leave me...
I'm sorry.
Eun-sung.
Even now,
I'm just worried about you.
What are we going to do?
How did you...
How did you find this place?
I just did.
You really are something.
Why did you look for my place
in the first place?
-I have a favor to ask.
-Don't say anything.
You...
don't deserve to say anything to me.
But you know why.
You know why I had to do that.
Are you asking me to understand you?
What would you have done?
Would you have told the truth?
That Mom took your dad's insurance money
and kicked you out
without even letting me know?
Would you have said all that
to Hwan, his mother, and Grandma?
Yes, I would have.
See?
That's how little Hwan means to you.
You can still live without him.
So...
would you die?
Look at how I threw away my morals
and what I've done to you.
If he ends up with you, how would I live?
I wanted to believe
that you were that kind of person instead.
I couldn't make you that kind of person
in front of Hwan and his family,
and turn to you and say,
"Sorry, I had no choice."
I just couldn't.
So instead,
you decided to be that cruel to me?
Grandma and Hwan still believe you anyway!
Do you know how miserable I felt?
Please, Eun-sung.
If you just disappear,
Hwan will stay with me.
Do you think
I'll do that for you?
If Hwan chooses to be with you,
I'll die in front of your eyes.
So even if he chooses you,
you have to stop him.
I don't care if you die.
Why should I care?
Who are you to me?
Save me, Eun-sung.
Save me, please.
What should I do now?
What would you do?
Chief said that
low-grade bones and meat
were delivered to the factory.
What happened?
We modified our order
and lowered the grade.
Lowered the grade?
Mr. Park!
Did you take this opportunity
while I was sick
and lower the unit price?
That's not it, Ms. Jang.
The company ran out of
operating funds so we had no choice.
Why did we run out of operating funds?
Purchasing of the site for
the South Factory took a toll on us.
The planning of the new factory included
the fees for construction and equipment.
In addition,
I really didn't want to tell you this,
but frankly,
as you lost consciousness,
your will became an issue.
What?
A rumor spread that you're unconscious
and the will states that you're leaving
the company to an inexperienced person.
Our stock value dropped
and our business partners
began to charge us for immediate payments.
We really had no choice
but to lower the unit price.
Things are just getting worse...
Until things settle down a bit,
let's lower the grade for a month or two.
A month or two?
The very basic of seolleongtang is
the quality of the bones and meat.
The best quality and devotion...
That's what Jinsung promised to
its customers.
That can't be broken even for a day,
but for a month or two?
Get the best quality ingredients now!
-Ms. Jang!
-Right now!
I told you to get
ingredients of the same quality.
We haven't even made the payment
for this delivery yet.
We have 97 restaurants
and an online shopping mall.
You know better than anybody
how much the payment for a month is!
Where do we get that money?
The company's barely operating
on franchise revenues.
Because of the rumor,
all types of loans have been blocked,
and banks have turned against us.
Can't you let it go just this once?
I can sell some of my shares.
Mr. Jeong,
go back to the office and report to me
how much money is needed.
Ms. Jang!
If we lose the taste,
Jinsung isn't Jinsung anymore.
A promise should be kept.
Make sure you get the numbers right.
Don't worry about it.
-Mr. Park!
-Hwan!
I'm glad we met. I was going to drop by
the office to see you.
Why?
I was wondering how things were going.
The stocks seem to be staying low.
How is the company doing?
Why would you care about that
when your grandma is awake?
I just made a report to your grandma,
so you just take good care of her.
EXTRAORDINARY SHAREHOLDER MEETING AGENDA
REGARDING THE DISMISSAL OF THE CHAIRMAN
I look forward to it.
Most of the damage has been recovered,
but she still has brain atrophy,
so she needs to come in
once a month for CT scans.
She wants to go to work,
but would that be okay?
She'll be fine
as long as she doesn't work too hard.
You can go back to your normal diet,
but be careful
not to bump your head anywhere
-Welcome back, ma'am.
-Yes.
It's good to see you at home again.
I'm so glad
that I made it back to this house.
Oh, my.
I don't have a problem with walking.
Mother,
if you need anything, just let me know.
I'll do everything for you.
Really? Anything?
Of course!
I really mean it.
I got married when I was 21.
Before Min-seok died,
both of my parents passed away.
Without you, I'll be an orphan!
Listen to her.
An orphan at your age?
You're old enough
to get a son-in-law soon.
You're an orphan
if you don't have parents.
Then could you bring me a cup of tea?
-You stay here, Mr. Pyo.
-Yes.
My children
all know too, right?
-About my brain disease?
-Yes.
But since you kept it a secret,
they decided not to mention it
before you mention it first.
-It was Hwan's idea.
-Hwan?
I guess it was worth
being on the verge of death.
There's so much to do.
How's the research
on Seung-mi's family going?
Thank you, come again!
Hello?
It's me.
Yes.
I was waiting for your call.
So how did it go?
Did you find anyone who's been
in contact with Hye-ri?
Oh, I did barely find
a friend of a friend of Hye-ri's.
You said Hye-ri was Eun-sung's
high school friend, right?
I heard that she emigrated.
Emigrated?
When?
I heard that it's been one or two years.
She went with her family
to either Canada or Australia.
I'm still looking to see
if I can find out more,
so call me back in about ten days.
Hye-ri emigrated with her parents?
Hye-ri's mother passed away
when she was in 12th grade,
so Eun-sung even asked me
to pay for Hye-ri's tuition.
SEOUL WELFARE CENTER
Did you have fun?
I studied too!
Only then, I can play piano.
You lead the way this time.
Let's see if you know the way.
Make a right turn at the eel restaurant.
A crosswalk in front of the bank!
Go when the light is green.
Left turn after crossing the street.
Tasty bakery and fresh fruits!
I think I can let him go around alone now.
Grandma and you are like lovers.
She says, "Go wait for me."
And you're here just waiting for her.
Yeah, I guess.
But why did she tell you to wait for her?
SUNWOO HWAN
Grandma's home now, and I'll be going back
to the second branch tomorrow.
What's making you smile?
Grandma's back home!
Really? That's great!
I thought nothing was going on
between you two.
But now you guys are texting each other?
And you knocked Jun-se out
in one blow of your hammer!
Hey!
I just think
it's better for us to give each other time
until we can go back
to how we were before.
Did she break her fingers or something?
Mr. Park?
Mr. Park, what brings you here so early?
I have something to tell Ms. Jang.
An extraordinary shareholder meeting?
What do you mean?
The agenda is
on the dismissal of the chairman.
"Dismissal of the chairman"?
Did you say the dismissal of the chairman?
What are you talking about?
Do they want to get rid of Mother
from the chairman position?
What happened?
The small stockholders
requested for a general meeting
and the board just joined in.
You too?
Yes.
I think it's time for you to rest now.
What are you saying?
Since I became a manager,
I have been buying
some of our company's stock.
An extraordinary shareholder meeting
has been arranged.
But the agenda is
on the dismissal of the chairman.
If it's dismissal of the chairman,
do you mean Ms. Jang?
What this means is that
they'll take her off the board too
and completely remove her
from the company.
How can that be? She made this company!
Get rid of her?
I'm sorry, Ms. Jang.
Your will saying that
you'll be leaving the company
to someone inexperienced
along with the news
about your condition...
That's how things turned out this way.
Why didn't you tell me
that my condition was on the news?
We were going to tell you
once you found some rest.
This is why I kept it a secret.
I wanted to take care of things myself.
Kick me out?
I built up this company from the ground.
I'm sorry.
Can they dismiss you when you hold
such a big share of the company?
If Mr. Oh and Chief are on my side,
then the votes of the board
are divided exactly in half.
So the rest depends on
the small shareholders.
Don't worry, Grandma. I'll look into it.
You're not completely well,
so you shouldn't get stressed.
Who's going to kick you out?
It's not happening.
Then I'll trust you and
see you at the meeting.
I have to hang up.
Mr. Park!
How can you do this to us?
This is none of your business.
It's my grandmother!
You know what this company means
to my grandmother!
You are the one who caused this!
Had you not lost the company to that girl,
this wouldn't have happened!
Look who's here?
So you're the grandson of the chairman
who never showed up at the company?
I'm sorry.
I should have come to see you earlier
but I was immature back then.
You had no interest in the company,
but why are you here now?
It's too late. Go back!
Hwan.
How have you been?
I found out today.
How's Grandma?
She's in shock.
You don't look so good.
Hwan.
If there's anything I can help with,
just let me know.
It can be how the company's doing,
or anything else.
Then...
do you know if I can get a copy of
the company's account book?
Account book?
When you showed me the data last time,
the company seemed pretty strong.
Even with the rumor,
the financial problems can't be this bad.
I'll look into it.
You will?
Data processing was my minor.
I'll do anything I can to help you.
What are you going to do now?
Are you just going to wait
until the shareholder meeting?
No, I can't.
I need to go visit other shareholders,
so I'll be going now.
Okay. Good luck.
-I'll be counting on you.
-Yes.
KO EUN-SUNG
What's up?
Where are you right now?
Come here, quick!
Why are you out here?
Did you eat yet?
Are you worried about that?
Let's go inside. Everyone's waiting.
Cutting down on the employee wages?
If the employees can agree on
just a 30 percent cut on their wages,
that's pretty big.
Since financial difficulty is
one of the issues,
let's get help from the employees.
We decided to collect the shares
from the employees too.
The shares employees have isn't that much.
The best thing we can do
at this point is to show
how much the employees want
Grandma to remain as the chairman.
We have to persuade the shareholders
and have them vote against the dismissal.
Would the employees agree to it?
We'll have to go around convincing them.
Mr. Lee will visit the restaurants
in the rural areas.
The three of us can visit those
around Seoul.
Then could you ask
the employees around Seoul
to come to the factory?
To the factory? Why?
How can we visit all of the restaurants?
Since we don't have enough time,
I'll try to convince the factory employees
and one or two employees sent
from each of the restaurants.
Why didn't we think of that before?
I told you this would happen.
Who would leave the company
to an old lady with dementia?
What will happen to Grandma?
What could happen?
She's sick, so she can rest now.
She'll just lose management rights.
Her money will remain.
Rather, this might be better for Hwan.
He won't have to worry
about losing his inheritance to Eun-sung.
If the company is taken from Ms. Jang,
Eun-sung will not be needed anymore.
And her will would be canceled too.
Then,
Eun-sung won't have a reason
to be with Grandma.
That doesn't mean that she'll disappear
from Hwan's side.
Well, I don't know
how much Hwan likes Eun-sung.
But would he still like her
after losing the company because of her?
Even if he does,
Yeong-ran won't just sit there.
Also, with the company gone,
Hwan will have to prepare
for a new future.
A new future?
Wouldn't he have to finish up his studies
or start his own business?
He'll probably,
have to finish his studies first
before starting a business.
When that happens, go with him.
I can?
Of course, you should.
Eun-sung can never leave this country
without Eun-u.
I'll take care of Eun-sung here.
You just prepare yourself for it.
How are you so sure that Grandma
will be dismissed?
Would Mr. Park have started this
if he wasn't so sure?
What do you mean?
Father, what's going on?
Did you agree to arranging the meeting
to get Ms. Jang dismissed?
Is it true?
In many ways, she's not in good health.
Her surgery went well
and it's only the early stage of dementia.
She has enough time
to sort things out by herself!
And she chose Eun-sung for that.
Nobody wants Eun-sung here.
I'm busy, so hang up.
Father!
Chief said you'll have an hour
from two o'clock.
And one or two employees
from each of the restaurants near Seoul
will be coming, too.
Thank you.
I'll go early and get ready.
I'll go once I pick up the forms for
power of attorney and wage cut consents.
Su-jae and I'll go after the lunch peak.
Good-luck.
Mr. Lee! Su-jae! Do you have a camcorder?
I don't have one.
What's it for?
I wanted to record it
and upload it online.
Then the employees
in the rural areas can watch it.
It is a good idea,
but where can we get a camcorder now?
I have a camcorder in my car.
Jun-se...
So, Hwan
will try to convince the employees
who are gathered at the factory?
We couldn't just sit here and--
Eun-sung.
My father and I have
very different opinions.
I can't stop my father by myself,
but I want to help Grandma.
Let's talk in detail on our way.
I'll drive you to the factory.
No, it's fine.
You also need to visit the printing shop
and there isn't much time.
This isn't about us, so don't worry.
I'll just drop you off.
Look likes everyone's here.
Don't put up too much hope.
Just do your best.
JINSUNG SEOLLEONGTANG
Hello, everyone.
Some of you may know me,
some of you may not.
Let me introduce myself.
I'm Sunwoo Hwan.
I'm the grandson of Ms. Jang
of Jinsung Food Company.
-I heard that he's a real jerk.
-Me too.
-Yeah, that's what I heard too!
-He even threw money.
-Hurry up and go inside.
-Thank you, Jun-se.
Grandma thinks of the employees
as her family.
Because she tried to manage the company
for the employees,
the board and the shareholders
turned against her.
If she's dismissed from her position now,
this will no longer be a company
where employees are considered family.
She's got Alzheimer's!
How would she manage a company?
It's so subtle
that not even the family knew.
I'm not saying that she'll
run the company until the end.
She just needs time to sort things out
by herself.
And your help is needed for that.
That way, I can convince the shareholders.
Without your help,
the 30 years of her life
will be in vain.
Is he really doing this for Ms. Jang?
I heard he beat up the main store manager
and threw money at his face.
What a jerk!
I admit.
I was a jerk.
So my grandmother had given up on me!
But
she chose you instead.
She would tell me
that she may have built this company
but that it wasn't hers or my family's.
She said it was the lives and livelihood
of the 1,173 employees of the company.
Rather than her children's lives,
she said that the lives of the employees
and their families were more important.
If you know of Grandma's determination,
please don't get rid of her like this.
Please don't make
my Grandma lonely.
I plead you.
I'm Lee Jun-hyeong,
the manager of the second branch.
I'm the one this guy threw money at.
But now, I trust him.
This is the consent of all employees
at the second location.
I'll sign the consent form
and entrust 90 shares of my stock.
Can it be a small amount?
I have 250 shares.
I'll entrust my money I prepared
for my marriage.
Ms. Jang said I won't be able
to get married before I lose weight.
-I'll help too!
-Me too!
Me too!
Me too!
Don't look at me. It's embarrassing.
What's so embarrassing?
You saw how the employees
were looking at me.
They were thinking,
"What could that jerk be planning?"
That's because they don't know
that you changed yet.
The factory employees
didn't look at you like that.
How did they look at me?
"He used to work here,
but he wasn't that big of a jerk."
"I heard he matured at the second branch!"
"He wasn't a bastard
to start with anyway."
Don't make your thoughts
sound like others'.
What?
There's only one person in this world...
who can say I wasn't
a bastard to start with.
Everything else was true except for that.
Wait.
Wait for what?
You just wait.

EXTRAORDINARY SHAREHOLDER MEETING DETAILS
Come to the meeting tomorrow
and vote for
the dismissal of the chairman.
Father!
If my calculations are right,
the shares of Ms. Jang and the rest
are almost equal to our shares.
So you...
SHAREHOLDER'S NAME
PARK JUN-SE
bought shares under my name?
It's just enough to be not made public.
So your vote tomorrow
will make all the difference.
Are you telling me to remove Grandma?
If you don't,
your father dies.
This money...
How did you get such a big sum?
That is why...
if you don't stand on my side,
your father's life will come to an end.
Father...
How could you?
I'm just borrowing it to save the company.
Once I take over,
I'll return it to the company.
How could you even think of doing this?
I'm not taking everything away from her!
I'll just get the management rights.
She's too old-minded to run the company.
A company isn't volunteer work.
She even has Alzheimer's now.
She lost her qualifications
to run the company!
I can't, father.
-You can't?
-I can't.
-I'm your father!
-Father!
Morals do not exist
when it is for family.
You only have one choice.
If you don't agree to the dismissal
of Ms. Jang tomorrow,
you'll be cutting my throat.
Mr. Park's son is the secret weapon.
If the company is taken from Ms. Jang,
Eun-sung will not be needed anymore.
And her will would be canceled too.
Then, Eun-sung won't have a reason
to be with Grandma.

LIST OF EMPLOYEES
Yes, thank you. I'll go pick it up
tomorrow morning.
SEUNG-MI
Hey, Seung-mi. How did it go?
Did you find out anything?
I'm sorry, Hwan.
I couldn't find anything.
I see.
Thank you for helping me.
SEUNG-MI
This is Jun-se.
As of today, 60 percent of the employees
agreed to the wage cut.
Did you say 60 percent?
If I sum up the ones coming in
through the mail tomorrow morning,
I think it'll be around 70 percent.
So I didn't live my years in vain.
If you didn't sell your shares,
we wouldn't have to worry about this.
This is all destiny.
Even if...
you do get dismissed,
stay strong.
What is it that you had to tell me today?
There's something that you must see.
What's this?
I found it while I was investigating
the flow of the company's funding.

Mr. Park...
is involved in it.
Why are you showing me this?
If Ms. Jang does not get dismissed
tomorrow,
this double bookkeeping will go public.
Are you threatening me?
If things work out as Mr. Park wants,
Eun-sung will leave Hwan's side.
Isn't that what you want too?
Is this how desperate you are for Hwan?
Even if Eun-sung leaves,
that doesn't mean that Hwan will be yours.
This is all I can do.
It's finally the day. I wish you the best.
When it's over, you'll let me know, right?
Of course. You don't have to worry.
I'll be waiting.
Thank you.
