(Episode 81)
Director Gu, I won't accept this arrangement.
This isn't my idea. It's the Center's owner's.
The owner?
You mean Ms. Kim?
Yes. So if you want to protest,
go and protest to Ms. Kim.
You're dismissed.
Ms. Jeong, a word, please.
I'll consider this my last chance and do my best.
Why does she want to cause a stir by pairing them?
What is Ms. Kim's plan?
Is that good?
Yes, yes. It's hanging nicely.
I'm sorry to ask you over when you're busy.
My goodness. Don't say that.
I'll come anytime,
so always feel free to call me.
My goodness. It's finally where it should be.
Indeed.
But why are you having Jeong Inu work under Eunjo?
Eunjo will throw a fit.
I'll make you coffee, so come with me.
Okay.
It's so sweet and so delicious.
They call this old people coffee, right?
But I think this is the tastiest.
Eunjo must be furious right now.
So why did you do it?
Jeong Inu came begging for a job at the Center
so that she can make ends meet.
You have a hard time saying no to stuff like that.
Be that as it may,
Dr. Jeong and Jeong Inu were so nasty.
Why did you say yes?
You're too nice.
It's not that.
Then what is it?
That scumbag Jeong Geunseop
sold my Paju building for $1.5 million.
He spent $350,000 of it to buy the salon,
and then he paid taxes
and bought this and that.
He should have around $800,000 left.
$800,000?
Yes. He seems to be claiming
that he lost all of it to a con artist.
But no, I'm sure he has it.
But how are you so sure?
I'm Kim Haengja.
I'm a bloodhound when it comes to money.
Right. I'll grant you that.
But where could that money be now?
I think he's hidden it somewhere in the salon.
And only Jeong Inu knows that.
Then you should go get it right away.
Why are you here?
Why take pains to find something that's hidden?
I must make them bring it to me.
Could they have a place to hide
such a large sum?
You can do that with 8 bearer bonds.
I would've retrieved the money and fled,
so why does she want to work at the Center?
Good grief, you're so naive.
The police will pursue her if she flees.
So until her father serves his time and returns,
she's going to keep up appearances and wait.
Since by then, things would have quieted down.
But why the Center?
I'm sure she could find a job elsewhere.
That's what I can't figure out.
That's why I put her under Eunjo.
You're really back to your old self.
Who am I? I'm Kim Haengja of Geumdong.
I strayed briefly, as I was lonely in my old age,
and I paid dearly for it.
But I haven't lost all my spunk yet.
Who are they, to try to steal from me?
I'll show them just how scary
I really am.
Of course.
You had come across as too soft all that time.
No one had touched my money until now. No one.
No one.
Ow, ow.
Ms. Kim, what's wrong?
Do you have a headache?
Would you like a painkiller?
No, no. I'm fine.
I must bear it.
I can't keep taking painkillers for headaches.
You poor dear.
The recipient is not answering...
Ms. Kim must not be picking up.
I don't know what Ms. Kim said,
but I don't need you.
Make me do anything.
I'll even run out and fetch you pantyhose.
Why are you being like this all of a sudden?
Dad won't be able to avoid jail time.
We could get evicted from the salon anytime.
And half of Injeong's pay goes to repaying our loan.
Which is to say, I'm the breadwinner again.
Is this the only place you can work?
I've done this for 10 years.
Although you hate me,
can't you just tolerate me?
Then just work at the Center.
Why be my partner, of all things?
That I don't know.
I simply begged Ms. Kim to allow me to work
at the Center again.
I don't feel comfortable seeing you.
Like this is comfortable for me?
What is your ulterior motive behind this?
I need to make a living.
Although it was brief, you've experienced
how scary the world is.
No matter what, I have no desire to work with you,
so you decide.
You may think that,
but now I have a clear goal.
You're all better.
Ms. Kim is here.
Thank goodness.
- Ms. Kim is here. / - Ms. Kim.
Oh, my. Oh, my.
Ms. Kim is here.
Why don't you stay longer?
Don't show me out.
Tend to your business.
I'll be back.
You liked not seeing me around.
- No way. / - Stop lying.
B-because of you, he...
Good grief. You still stutter.
It's a miracle your wife puts up with you.
My goodness. Ms. Kim of Geumdong is back.
- You don't say. / - You startled me.
Don't sneak up on people.
Are you guilty of something? Why so jumpy?
When did you get here?
A while ago.
I watched Ms. Kim out and about.
Although she was a moneylender, people like her.
She's remarkable.
She is.
So what is Ms. Jang going to do?
Why are you asking me?
I quit my job there ages ago,
and I've cut ties with that family.
Thanks for this.
Talk about heartless.
It's Ms. Jang who must have it the hardest.
Welcome...
Welcome, Ms. Kim.
Good grief. Why so polite all of a sudden?
Because it's been so long.
It doesn't look like you're here to do your hair.
You're here about the salon, right?
That's right.
Just say the word, and we'll move out.
If I do that, will you have a place to go?
I'm sure our family of 3 will find a place.
Injeong and I actually discussed it.
We're too ashamed to face people around here,
so we'll move as far away as possible.
What about Inu?
She'll probably have a chance
for self-reflection once we leave here.
I'm so sorry about everything.
I'm too ashamed to even look at you.
Why are you sorry?
I remember you coming
to our house drunk when I was still out of it.
Geez. You remember that?
I have nothing against you.
So if it's not uncomfortable for you, stay here.
Huh? Oh...
No. Thank you for the offer,
but I feel uncomfortable around the people here,
and I'm sure my kids do, too.
Thank you for not driving us away,
but we should leave.
I don't really need this salon,
but this is your family's livelihood and home.
I've never taken that from anyone.
I know well what Kim Haengja of Geumdong is like.
That's why I'm even more ashamed.
Okay. Call me after discussing it with your kids.
I don't want to take your livelihood from you.
Thanks for saying that.
So where's Eunjeong?
She left after a call from the country house.
Country house? Why?
She said nothing happened. She was just visiting.
Why is she going there again?
Hey, why is the entrance so messy?
Go mop the entrance nice and clean.
Yes, Ms. Kim.
Why are you so happy about getting more work?
- Just because. / - Good grief.
Ms. Jang seems to know nothing about the money.
What took you so long?
You kept me waiting.
What are you doing?
Styling, makeup demonstration,
new product marketing,
inventory organization?
I didn't know you were raising business capital.
I would've helped if you had told me.
Ms. Kim's ordeal was overwhelming enough.
How could I put more on your plate?
Okay. Since we're at it,
let's get the inventory organized.
Why?
I'm Gil Eunjo,
the troublemaker who even bested
the gamecock of Geumdong.
Okay.
Oh, I saw Ms. Jeong Inu on my way in.
What happened?
Ms. Kim said I have to do the practical with her.
I don't know what Ms. Kim is thinking.
What did she tell you?
She's not answering my calls.
I'll give her a piece of my mind tonight.
Don't be too hard on her.
Why are you here?
I'm your partner.
So have me do whatever you want.
Why are you following me around all day?
Are you out to get on my nerves?
No, I'm not.
Mr. Hong, let's go talk elsewhere.
What's wrong?
It's nothing.
My chest feels tight, and I feel out of breath
for no reason once in a while.
But I'm fine now.
How long has it been?
Since my dad was arrested,
and I saw people whispering.
You should go.
Ms. Gil must be waiting.
Go on.
See a doctor if it persists,
instead of making it worse.
Are you worried I don't have a grip on my emotions?
Like you?
What? That's ridiculous.
You said I could just get probation.
That's only after you repay everything.
Around $800,000 or $900,000 is missing.
It's a large sum, so you're violating
the Law on Certain Aggravated Financial Crimes.
So the minimum sentence is 3 years?
Yes.
I'm supposed to rot in prison for 3 years?
I can't stay here another day.
You said you'd just serve time.
That was then.
After 3 years here,
do you know how old I'll be?
So cough up your secret fund
and plead for leniency.
Secret fund? I have no such thing.
Too bad then.
The shortest sentence possible is 3 years.
Hey, Byeon Busik,
you're trying screw me over, right?
Don't be like this.
I'll walk away if you keep this up.
I feel bad taking time off work as it is.
$800,000 isn't chump change.
I have nowhere to hide that kind of money.
Bearer bonds,
negotiable certificates of deposit...
There are plenty of ways to hide money.
$800,000 isn't worth more than your time.
But hold out if you're doing this for your family.
What happens if I return that money?
You still have to beg Ms. Kim,
the victim, for leniency.
3 years?
No way.
I can't rot in here for 3 years.
That's absurd.
Hey, excuse me.
Please let me make one phone call.
It's urgent!
Hey, look! I need to make just one call!
Hey!
Where's Haengja?
In her room.
She is?
Can we talk?
What is it?
I'm on the night shift, so I have to head back.
That's good.
Get Haengja an appointment for a physical.
Is she doing that badly?
Why? Did someone else say the same thing?
Eunjo did.
Ms. Kim keeps getting headaches
and says strange things from time to time.
I don't know about that,
but she had major surgery,
so another physical won't hurt.
I've been discussing it with my professor.
If she gets a physical,
we'll know her present condition, right?
Of course. That's the point.
Why?
Nothing.
Schedule it as soon as possible and let me know,
so I can come with her and look after her.
Okay.
I think I heard Haengja came here
to recuperate after major surgery.
I didn't see her myself.
It's just what I heard.
It must've been 10 years ago.
Groundless rumor or not,
a major surgery 10 years ago coincides with
when Eunjo received her kidney transplant.
So it's quite likely that Haengja was the donor.
But why?
I know she dotes on Eunjo,
but enough to give Eunjo her kidney?
Through the physical,
I must check to see if she has both kidneys.
Ms. Kim, do you know how nasty Jeong Inu was to me?
I can't stand her, and yet I must work with her?
It's not fair.
I know. I'm angry at her, too.
So why?
I can tell you have a lot of business savvy.
So just do this Center assignment well,
and I'll give you my full support.
Okay. That's great,
but why must I work with Jeong Inu?
Gil Eunjo.
Business is all about dealing with people.
Sometimes you must humor people you despise,
or deal with people you can't stand.
Some will have an ulterior motive and betray you.
You'll encounter all kinds of people,
so Jeong Inu is perfect for your training.
Be that as it may...
If you do this assignment well with Jeong Inu,
there will be something important you must do.
What is it?
Here. Look.
Genius?
(Derma-Cosmetics Product Plan)
Weren't you considering investing in this?
That's right. While I was in a coma,
the company got a new CEO, right?
The old CEO sent it to me.
But why are you giving this to me?
Because it looks like a promising venture.
So join forces with the CEO and give it a go.
That faceless CEO?
How do I know where I can find him?
You'll be contacted soon.
But I'd like to work with Mr. Hong.
The more the merrier.
But I still don't want to work with Jeong Inu...
Fine. I'll give it a go.
Eunjo, you'll do well.
I'm counting on you. I am.
Why did you want me to rush over?
It's an investment proposal that Ms. Kim got.
It's interesting.
Interesting?
She'd asked me to look at it before she collapsed.
What do you think about it?
What do you know about it, to ask my opinion?
I just want to know what you think.
It's not bad,
but it needs to be improved somehow.
Improved? How?
You see...
Why did you sneak in without a peep?
You wanted 2 copies.
Here.
Thank you.
It's the background information for our assignment.
I get a copy, too?
We were told to work together.
So help me out.
Okay.
I'll do my best to help.
Mr. Lee.
You must be tired.
This is red ginseng juice.
This should perk you up.
Why are you giving me this?
Don't be like that
to someone who's trying to get by.
Here.
Thank you.
This must be tough for a former CEO's assistant.
It's not great.
Thank you.
Oh. About that ball-shaped charm...
Did you find it?
No. It's been missing for so long.
I've given up.
I see.
Has Mr. Hong given up, too?
You said it was like an amulet to him.
It's just that I know very well what that's like.
What what's like?
I must've been in middle school.
I had to go up front and do a presentation,
but I became beet-red,
I was terrified of people,
and my heart was racing so fast.
It was so hard, I thought I would just die.
Hong Seok, too...
I mean, so what happened?
The kid next to me gave me a tiny stuffed rabbit
and said everything would be fine.
Surprisingly, it actually calmed me down.
So I carried that rabbit around like an amulet.
Do you still have it?
Of course. It's in my desk drawer.
I look at it every morning before heading out.
Maybe that charm has the same effect on Mr. Hong.
Tell me about it.
I tell myself these days to do one good deed
every day.
I won't tell Mr. Hong.
Perhaps I might be of help.
You see, Seok was in a similar situation
when a woman came to his aid.
Where?
A club...
I don't know the details.
Anyway, that charm fell off the woman's bracelet.
Whoever she is, he's very grateful to her.
Oh, I see.
But anyway, he's doing well with Ms. Gil now...
Very well.
I'll look for it every chance I get.
The ball-shaped charm that Hong Seokpyo lost.
Gil Eunjo's bracelet, missing a charm.
What are you doing?
How uncanny is this?
I'd like to see that bracelet again.
Then I can know for sure if this is Gil Eunjo's.
If the charm is Gil Eunjo's,
all the better.
Because his fated savior
will be Jeong Inu,
not Gil Eunjo.
Dad.
Inu didn't come with you?
I came instead.
What's Inu doing?
Dad, I'm your daughter, too.
How can you be like this?
You told me to turn myself in.
Isn't this what you wanted?
How can you say that?
Anyway, we got to see each other.
Have Inu come tomorrow.
Why do you only want to see Inu?
You're not plotting something with her, are you?
Good grief.
What a thing to say to your jailed father.
What can I do here?
I'm not worried about you or your mom,
but I'm worried about Inu,
since she's been left high and dry
after having relied on me.
Don't worry. Inu is fine.
She's back at the Center working.
Right. That's great.
I'm not doing too badly,
so tell Inu she must come see me tomorrow.
You should go.
Dad.
Why did you sneak in without a peep?
I went to see Dad.
Okay.
He says you must come tomorrow.
I'm busy tomorrow.
Dad is worried sick about you.
Please go tomorrow.
Do you know what the derma-cosmetics project is?
Derma project?
Oh. Do you mean the project
President Hong pursued and was fired for?
How much do you know about it?
During development, President Hong was fired
at an emergency shareholders' meeting,
so the project's been halted,
and President Hong's disappeared.
Why do you ask all of a sudden?
He'll need investment to launch the products, right?
Why? Are you going to invest?
Find out more about it for me.
You said you'd set me up with President Hong.
What's going on? What are you scheming?
I'm on probation at the Center.
No one there talks me to me.
I'm invisible.
Things might improve if I make a contribution.
How in the world will you do that?
Just do your job well, so you don't get fired.
Do you know how hard it is for me right now?
I was dumped by Busik, too.
I can't go down like this.
I'm going to succeed.
So Injeong, please help me.
What's that got to do with derma-cosmetics?
Please.
Tell me what your plan is.
Then I'll help.
Fine.
Make sure you go see Dad tomorrow.
Hey.
Would you like tea?
No, I have to head home.
Mom must not have come in today, either.
They say overthinking leads to a bad move.
I don't know why she's taking so long.
As her son,
are you against your mom getting a fresh start?
The truth is, I don't want to give you my blessing
due to issues extraneous to you two.
Starting a family at our age,
how can we only think about the two of us?
That's what is frustrating for me.
Family.
If there's someone you can't accept as family,
shouldn't you call it quits?
Do you know Mi-ae is tiptoeing around you?
Mom's always made her own decisions,
but she must be concerned.
She'll be tiptoeing around him even more...
Why is it so hard for two people in love
to be together?
Right, nephew?
Do we have anything left to discuss?
No, right, Mr. Hong Seokpyo?
I have no intentions of meddling in my uncle's life.
But?
But he can't manage without me.
What do you mean by that?
He has nothing, since he's never been greedy.
Which means the house, his car,
and his shares are all in my name.
So?
You want your mom to live comfortably.
For her to enjoy a carefree life,
she will undoubtedly need my help.
Are you showing off for being rich?
I'm just explaining Uncle Chungseo's situation.
Dictating another's life with inherited money...
That's so unfair.
I heard you inherited the derma patent, too.
An inheritance doesn't always come free.
You're talking big. You must've found an investor.
Why are you so interested in what I do?
Go tell Director Kim
not to blemish my position,
and to keep it safe until I return.
Then you must have no time
to meddle in a distant relative's marriage plans.
You must not like my meddling.
You have no reason to oppose if not for me.
It seems you're very devoted to your mother.
You said you were left to fend for yourself,
so how can you be so devoted?
Because my mother never forsook me.
If she had, I would've cut ties with her long ago.
Even then, my mom would've reached out to me.
That's what mothers do,
although it must be hard you to fathom.
What do you know about me to say that?
I'm just saying that money and a few patents
do not amount to a mother's love,
Mr. Hong Seokpyo.
Because my mother never forsook me.
I'm just saying that money and a few patents
do not amount to a mother's love,
Mr. Hong Seokpyo.
Were patents all you wanted to leave your son?
If you wanted credit as an entrepreneur,
not as a mom, I'll give it to you.
You were a remarkable businesswoman.
You never held my hand when I needed you.
You only insisted I had to be strong to survive.
So what have you given me, Mom?
A weak son who can't stand before others...
Is that how you wanted your son to be?
What happened between you and Ms. Kim?
I actually wish Ms. Kim was the perpetrator.
The stability and love
that I've finally found...
You won't ruin that for me as well, right, Mom?
I'm afraid that you will.
Thank you. Come again.
Nice to meet you, Ms. Kim Haengja.
I'm Gu Aesuk.
Gu Aesuk.
Yes. She definitely called herself Gu Aesuk.
