(Previously)

They said they hit the
guardrail trying to avoid a cat.

Playing soccer again is
going to be impossible.

- Good morning, Chairman.
- Good morning, Chairman.

My career as a soccer
player is over because of you.

So, what's your price?

If you want ten million, write it.

The one driving was Kang Jae Seong.

Kang Jae Gyeong was the one
who told me we should run for it.

Don't even dream of
becoming the next chairman.

I will make it official at the
Board of Directors' meeting.

- Stop!
- Stop!

What's all that noise?

Why would I be that punk? Just why?

If I get any closer, will we both die?

This is our only chance to survive.

Our father, the man
with the spotless record.

This is our chance to
legally force him to step down.

Your life... I'll make sure
you're properly compensated.

I'm Hwang Jun Hyeon, an
intern at Choiseong Group.

If you tell anyone who
my father is, you're dead.

And if you call me Bang
Geul, you're dead too.

Don't act like we're
friends. Kang Bang Geul.

When the Chairman briefly
regained consciousness,

he left a letter.

Every employee of Choiseong...

is now qualified to
become the next chairman.

Then does that mean I'm qualified too?

To be the chairman of Choiseong?

So it begins.

Everything you brats enjoyed
thanks to your old man.

I'm taking it all back, one by one.

Just you wait.

That's the guy from the
Chairman's hit-and-run, right?

Has he lost his mind?

How dare he say something like that here?

This company's discipline is a joke.

A nepotism hire is mouthing off? Goodness.

What a circus.

What did he do now?

So it really is Kang Bang Geul.

It's been a while, Jae Gyeong.

Gosh!

I gave you a pass as the victim,
but you barge in and spout nonsense?

I don't remember.

I remember going to the Materials
Team after the intern presentation,

but the next thing I knew, I was here.

I think this might be a side
effect from the hit-and-run.

What did I even say?

You don't remember the presentation either?

Materials Team Two
had an inventory problem,

so I took a look out of curiosity.

Yujin Networks, IB Global,
and Hwain Dynamics.

For years, all three were
too clean, with zero inventory.

It was weird.

One of them isn't even a manufacturer,

and another just resells
products from our trading affiliates.

But the transaction volume is astronomical.

So I thought...

these companies...

What about those companies?

If we cut out those shell
companies and deal with C&T,

we could probably save tens of millions.

That's why I said it.

Is that really all? You
don't know anything else?

Is there something else
I'm supposed to know?

Who told you that?

Because of me, your
hit-and-run got smoothed over.

You have to look out for me until the end.

We're in this together, aren't we?

So, I'm a full-time employee now, right?

If you fire me now,

you'll be no better than your
father who fled a hit-and-run.

Who are you to talk to me like that?

Did you join to be my equal?

I'm here for the 300-million-dollar
slush fund you stole.

Your old man is here to get it himself.

The Sales Division confirmed
that they didn't leak it.

I warned Yujin, IB Global, and
Hwain to keep their mouths shut.

Looks like the rookie said
something he must have overheard.

I still have a bad feeling.

Let's suspend their
accounts for the time being.

Sir, the books are closing soon.

If we suspend only their accounts,
it'll just draw more attention.

Don't just tell me it's
impossible. Find a way.

I'll have a word with the Sales Division.

I'll tell them to delay sharing
the transaction records...

with the outsourced vendor with Support.

Just do it discreetly, will you?

- Yes, sir.
- Yes, sir.

President Kang Jae
Gyeong is looking for you.

She said it's a family matter.

You've got some nerve, Bang Geul.

Or are the hiring standards
at C&T just that low?

I don't even want to speak to
you, so get out of my company.

- Jae Seong.
- Don't call me that.

I said, don't call me that!

- I'm in a bad mood, so don't start.
- Why?

I heard she really gave it her
all, even doing all the grunt work.

Her superiors supposedly adored
her for being so good at making copies.

And you make a mean cup of coffee, I hear?

I should've had some
of the coffee you made.

My espresso with milk is to die
for. Want me to make you one?

Is this fun for you? You're
having a blast, aren't you?

Can I please just work at the company?

I'm sick of just messing
around in the States.

It's a good deal for you too.

You can stop paying
my friends to spy on me.

You can see for yourself
what a total idiot I am.

They said you did well
in the interview. Nice line.

If you like her so much, take her.

You know I'm not book-smart. I
have no ambition for this company.

I came back for Mom's home
cooking. I'm sick of burgers and pasta.

Please. I'm begging.

Then prove it.

Prove that you have no ambition.

Hand over the Gangwon
land you got from Father.

And the building in Gangnam too.

You don't want to?

No. Why would I?

I've been smiling this whole
time because I'm so thrilled.

They're all yours.

I don't need buildings or
land or any of that stuff.

If I sign it all over, can I work here?

And can I move back home?

Just keep your head down
and don't cause any trouble.

- Hide that you're his daughter.
- Yes, of course.

I won't mention you or Jae Seong.
I'll be quiet and go by Casey Kang.

Should I write a formal pledge
and stamp it with my thumbprint?

All ten of them?

You're ruthless, Kang Jae Gyeong.

You already have 99 rooms.
You couldn't let her have just one?

Did you really have to
take candy from a baby?

You used to like her mom.

More than any of the other housekeepers.

It's like she was waiting.
The moment our mother died,

before a year had even passed,
she became the lady of the house.

She must have been having an
affair with Father the whole time.

I will make sure...

they don't get a single
thing that was Mom's.

I'm going to kick them out
with the clothes on their backs.

Isn't it a fitting end for servants
who betray their masters for luxury?

A "fitting end for servants," you say?

Now this is getting interesting.

I expect your cooperation...

if you want to honor Mom's memory.

- Gosh, where is it?
- Hello, Ms. Jo. What's going on?

Did you eat?

I'm good. I'm calling with some great news.

They said I can work there.

I got permission to move back home too.

Really? They actually said yes?

- Honey?
- Yes!

So stop worrying, okay? Your
daughter has a full-time job.

That's very big of them.
They're not bad kids at heart.

Still, you have to be on your best
behavior and not cause any trouble.

Hello? Bang Geul? Are
you even listening to me?

Yes.

- I have to go.
- Okay.

Gosh, you scared me!

That doesn't sound like them.
What did they take, this time?

Who do they take me for, an idiot?

They're the ones who screamed...

they'd never give you
a stake, just the land.

What did you give them? Tell me!

What I do is none of your business.

You totally caved. Gosh, you're impossible.

And who gave you the
right to do that to my dad?

You're messing up my plan.

If you tell anyone who
my father is, you're dead.

And if you call me Bang
Geul, you're dead too.

Kang Bang Geul.

What are you really
doing here at Choiseong?

Right. Managing Director
Song was the brains...

behind the Yuncheon City port project too.

- He's on another level.
- That's the side you want to be on.

Whereas President Choi?

At this rate, won't Kang Jae
Seong become the next chairman?

So, what, President Kang Jae
Gyeong is just twiddling her thumbs?

I hear she's acquiring an
All-Solid-State Battery company.

If that deal pans out,

Chemical is going to win.

Hello.

Hello.

I'll have those two... scratch that.

Pack a bit of everything good.

I'll get that ready for you right away.

Gosh, these look delicious.

- What are they?
- You shouldn't have.

- Thanks, we'll enjoy them.
- These are fancy.

Gosh! What's all this?

- What is this? It's so good!
- So good.

- They're amazing, right?
- Yes.

- Gosh.
- Eat up. Here, have these too.

- Oh, my.
- You bought so many.

- You're so generous.
- Oh, right.

Your cleaning assignments
changed recently, right?

I now clean the President's
office at Choiseong Chemical.

I hear President Kang Jae
Gyeong is a real stickler.

- What about you?
- I'm worried.

I heard Kang Jae Seong is messy.

- The siblings are a real pair.
- A total nightmare.

- Eat up, everyone! Let's do this!
- Let's do this!

Do you mind if I take some of this home?

Me too.

It's so good.

I'll be up all night if I have
to stick all of these back.

- Working late, sir?
- Gosh, you startled me.

- Have this while you work.
- You really shouldn't have.

You must be exhausted.

I bet President Kang Jae Seong
travels a lot for the port project.

A trip to Yuncheon City is no big deal.

I hear they're ending that
project by the end of this month.

That's great.

That'll make things easier for
you. No more long-haul trips.

Right.

- I'll carry that for you.
- Thanks.

- I'll just be a minute.
- Okay. I'll be here on standby.

She's pretty slick. Gosh.

Maybe I should finally get a car...

But I'm broke.

(Chairman's Chief of Staff)

How did you get the passcode
to the Chairman's office?

Hey, hold on a second.

Are you here to steal something?
Did you think I missed you tailing?

Are you a spy for Kang Jae
Gyeong or Kang Jae Seong?

Should I call security?

- Or should I call the police?
- It hurts.

I said, it hurts!

I'll tell you everything you want to know.

Just let go first!

You've got a lot of nerve.

Hey! Your dad told me to use it.

The passcode and safe's location...

Your dad is the one who told me.

How else would I know? Think about it.

You should be on your
knees begging for forgiveness.

You're using my dad? Enjoy
being a parasite on my family?

The ones who destroyed
my leg and ended my career...

That was your sister and
brother. Not Chairman Kang.

- What?
- Chairman Kang asked me for help.

He asked me to find the real
culprits and to protect Choiseong.

You're the one who framed
my dad for the hit-and-run.

Go to the police and
confess. Then I'll believe you.

I can't!

There's no proof. I have
no evidence the twins did it,

so who's going to believe me?

If there's no proof, find
some! Make them believe you!

I get it now.

The reason you grabbed me and lost it,

blaming me for your dad's accident.

It's because you want
to get back at the twins.

Or prove yourself to him
while he's in that hospital bed?

Why you came back here, and
just how capable you really are.

Going to all department
dinners, doing all the grunt work...

You're just doing it all to prove
that your dad was wrong about you.

That you're a better person than
Kang Jae Gyeong and Kang Jae Seong.

- That's what you want to show him.
- Shut it.

The daughter your dad cast aside
was no ugly duckling, but a swan.

You want to make him see that. Am I wrong?

I warned you.

I told you not to act like you know it all.

Why?

Are you scared I'll
run to the Presidents...

and tell them everything?

You'd never set foot in Korea again.

And you'd never see your mom again.

That's not right.

Would your mom be kicked
out of the family along with you?

- Hwang Jun Hyeon!
- Get your head on straight.

For your little plan to work,

you need to be smart
about what you do next.

Chairman Kang said he would
never hand the group to the Presidents.

He asked me to find the
money those two stole.

The person you need to team up with...

is me.

Because at least with this money,

I'm ready to stab the
Presidents in the back.

- And how are you going to do that?
- I've already started.

The intern presentation.

That's the trap to catch Kang Jae Seong.

The ones who destroyed
my leg and ended my career...

That was your sister and brother.

Are we sure the last people he
met were those twin Presidents?

Are you that determined to be
killed by your sister and brother?

We agreed you'd avoid Choiseong, didn't we?

Get your head on straight.
For your little plan to work,

you need to be smart
about what you do next.

It's been, what, ten...

Fifteen years, hasn't it?

I look forward to working with you all.

Was this discussed in advance?

Bang Geul said she wanted
to eat her mom's cooking.

You don't need to worry about it.

Just until the succession is finalized.

Let's just keep it together
in front of everyone.

- Was that your sister's idea?
- Yes. What?

No.

That was my call. That's
for the eldest son to decide.

Where's Mom?

She's cleaning your room.

Butler Jo.

Why did she call Grandma Butler Jo?

They said she used to
be the housekeeper here.

Unbelievable.

Right, Mom?

When it's a clear-cut fact,
you should say "obviously."

Right.

"Obviously."

Bang Geul, you're home.

Mom, what are you wearing?

I had her do some cleaning.
She'll be sharing a room with you.

Now that Father isn't here, she
can't keep the main bedroom.

It's just not a good look.

You've been apart for so long.

It'll be good for you two to get close.

Don't you think so?

And we needed to do a big
clean before your father wakes up,

so it's actually perfect timing.

Okay.

What about my room?

Is it still the same?

Of course.

We should probably get
you a new bed, though.

As for the blankets,

let's just share mine for
now. Mine are nicer, anyway.

- Mom.
- Yes?

Mom.

What is it?

If you want to leave, even
now, just say the word.

Leave? Where would I go? This is our home.

And your father will wake up soon.

Are you sure you're okay?

I've lived in this house for 30 years.

If I ever leave, it will
be on my own terms.

I guess I'll have to cuddle
with you every night.

- I'd love that.
- Gosh.

Me too.

It feels so good to hug my
daughter after all this time.

What are you looking around for?

I was just thinking how
empty this house feels.

Normal homes have
family photos up, you know?

That's for a normal home.

And we're not one, are we?

Thanks to you and your mom.

No, I'm genuinely curious.

What's the real reason you came back here?

To get revenge on me or something?

Me? Get revenge on you? As if I'd dare.

What revenge? I'm just
thankful you took me in.

I feel like I should be on
my knees thanking you.

Seriously.

Don't try to pull anything.

And stop trying to suck up to me.

Stay out of my sight as much as possible.

Just live quietly, like you always have.

You're good at that, aren't you?

It's your best shot at
staying here, isn't it?

Okay.

I'll do whatever you say.

Then let's not run into
each other at work, either.

Just hold on a little longer, Mom.

I'll make them pay for
everything you've been through.

- Sir, have you seen this?
- I'm watching it now.

I, Kang Yong Ho, hereby command.

As of this moment, succession
of Choiseong Group..."

- by bloodline...
- I'm watching it now.

is abolished.

Every employee of Choiseong...

is now qualified to
become the next chairman.

Until I return,

I appoint Lee Sang Jae of of
the Strategy and Planning Team...

as the acting chairman.

We've confirmed that Manager
Jang Mun Ho has landed in Spain.

What was that all about?

The motor sounded a little off,
so I just sent it to the repair shop.

Send Team Leader Jo to the Audit Team.

He must have evidence
related to the incident.

Yes, I'll pass that along.

Chairman. Please, wake up soon.

Until then, this position
at Choiseong Group...

I will protect it with my life.

(2025, AI Supply Chain
Digital Platform Launch)

(Hwang Jun Hyeon, Materials Team 2)

Unbelievable.

(Casey Kang, Materials Team 2)

Look who made it to work. I
thought you'd get beaten up...

and either shipped off somewhere
or locked away after going home.

I still don't trust you.

So prove it.

Show me you can really
take down Kang Jae Seong.

Why the early celebration?

This is all going to be mine.

I've tossed a stone into a calm sea,

so it's bound to make some waves.

Wait, I thought they agreed
to place an additional order.

So what are we supposed to do now?

The support funding...

The tsunami has hit.

Now the hidden sharks
will start to surface.

- Darn.
- What's wrong?

The Sales Division is being a pain again.

We must finalize stock this week,

but they won't cooperate.
They're not answering their phones.

Give me the list. I'll make some calls too.

- Mr. Hwang can also...
- Hello, this is Materials Team Two.

We haven't gotten the closing
report from Sales Team Three.

Look, I said, we'll send
it. Stop hounding us.

Your files are due in two days,
or I'll leave your section blank.

What?

Hey, who is this?

Now, now, let's keep it civil, shall we?

What do you expect? You're
not submitting the report.

I'll have to file it blank. Do you
want me to fudge the numbers?

I can't do that, now can I?

- What's his problem?
- Beats me. Deadline's in two days.

So anything after that is your problem.

We're done here.

What's with everyone?

Leave it blank?

The Sales Team...

I get that he is clueless,
but this is too much.

Who gave this kid a phone? I
told you not to give him any work!

Manager Park Bong Gi.

There are a few things in
life that are hard to stomach.

What really gets me is when
someone who's no better than me...

lords it over me. Are we
less qualified than Sales?

Do they have better degrees?
Better resumes? More skills?

Why do you let the Sales
Division walk all over you?

The Sales Division lords
it over the Materials Team.

Who on earth decided
that was the pecking order?

In the Chairman's eyes,
there's no difference between us.

We're all just employees to him.

What does any of that have to
do with the mess you just made?

She's right. Stop trying
to change the subject.

You only find out who's really
tough when you're pushed to the brink.

You see which ones fall...

and which ones cling on.

Let's have a word in private,

Manager.

(Meeting Room)

Don't worry. I only
pushed them to the edge...

after calculating everything.

- What calculations?
- Here.

Efficiency is key in a company.

Rather than having this
kind of fight every month,

we'd be better off
cutting out the middleman.

Materials Team will get
reports directly from suppliers,

not Sales from now on.

Look, Jun Hyeon.

I...

I just want to live a quiet life.

Conflict, discord... I hate
that more than anything.

How about you just go and
apologize to the Sales Division?

How many suppliers do we
even have? It's over a thousand.

They're just suppliers. We can
just give them our template to fill out,

and it'll be done in a day.

Besides, we report to the Support Division.

If the data isn't submitted on time,
Support can freeze their budget.

What are you so worried about?

But...

- But we don't have enough people...
- Then hire more.

We're only short-staffed at closing,
so they're never going to approve...

Wait, why am I answering
every single one of your points?

Good. So we'll handle organizing
everything for the closing.

Hire some temps.

The more work, the bigger our team.

And we get respect and promotions.

That's basic.

You're the one?

Where did you learn to call us like that?

You idiot from the Materials.

- "Idiot"?
- Figures.

What could you possibly learn
under Manager Park anyway?

- You'll just be their lackey.
- A lackey for regular hires?

Manager Park... That's not what I meant.

I was just annoyed because of the rookie...

You're the rude one!

Just because your boss
dislikes special hires,

and now I have an assistant
manager being insubordinate.

Gosh! Darn it!

Hey, where are your manners?
You're supposed to apologize now.

I just don't get kids these days.

- Do I look like a pushover to you?
- No, sir.

Sir, this isn't something
we can just let slide.

You should report this to
Managing Director Kwon now,

Manager Park.

(Request for
inter-departmental cooperation)

So you want to pick a
fight with the Sales Division?

Yes, sir.

They can easily check their
stock and pass the data along.

Some are padding delivery
costs or taking kickbacks.

And you think you can win?

You'd be going after
the President's people.

One wrong move, and we're totally done for.

Be honest with me.

This wasn't your idea, was it?

You've always been overly
cautious in everything you do.

There's no way you'd drop a bomb like this.

- Who put you up to this?
- Well, I...

Oh...

Hello, sir.

I'm Hwang Jun Hyeon, a new
hire in Materials Team Two.

Are you two messing with me right now?

You listened to a rookie
and started all this trouble?

I'm sorry, Managing
Director. I was out of my mind.

Are you afraid of a power
struggle with the Sales Division?

What did you say?

Or do you not understand
what's at stake here?

Shut it, Hwang Jun Hyeon.

I'll retrain this rookie myself.

And you understand...

what's at stake?

It's a battle for control
between C&T's two pillars,

Sales and Administration.

It's about wrestling power
from the mighty Sales Division.

We're a trading company,
and the heart of trading is sales.

It's natural for the Sales
to hold all the power.

You don't even know that?

That's true for a growing company,
but we've already hit our peak.

Our revenue is stuck at five
billion dollars for several years now,

which makes administration
all the more important.

If they get their stories
straight, the reports get delayed.

If they're faking inventory numbers,
it isn't one person's corruption.

It's corporate corruption.

- Please, stop.
- Keep going.

It means the subcontracting firms
belong to someone on the inside.

They could belong to an executive...

or even the President.

By cutting ties with Yujin Networks,
IB Global, and Hwain Dynamics,

Choiseong C&T's net profit
will rise by over 30 million dollars.

Does this kid actually know
what he's talking about?

With Managing Director Lee as Chairman,

isn't the timing perfect?

He's clean when it
comes to things like this,

so even if this blows
up, he'll back you up, sir.

Bong Gi, this...

You'd have to put your
job on the line for this.

No, I...

- No.
- Of course. He'll do a great job.

Think of everyone who
dismissed you as a special hire.

This is your chance
to really stick it to them.

I'll stake more than my
job on this. I'll stake my life.

I'll show them the
meaning of a special hire.

Send out the official notice.

To Managing Director Song
and the entire Sales Division.

Yes, sir.

Hey, Manager Park!

He's built like a tank.

What a waste.

You know what he went through.

You know Manager Park started
out on the Audit Team, right?

During an internal audit five years ago,

President Kang Jae Seong
misused company funds...

to invest in real estate overseas.

He was the ace who uncovered it all.

He was demoted and sent here
after the Chairman said to drop it.

So that's what him
"laying low" was all about?

It's crazy he's still here.

Why would he cover for his son?

He'll just end up getting
stabbed in the back anyway.

They should treat their staff well.

To boneheads, we're disposable.

This has to change. No
wonder no one's loyal here...

- What's with that look?
- Still, "boneheads" is a bit much.

- What?
- Our Casey can get mad.

Manager Park, you
should still be lying down.

- I've aged ten years, haven't I?
- You do.

It's because of that punk.

I don't know if he drugged
me or put a spell on me.

When I talk to him,
it's like I'm possessed.

I start doing things
that are out of character.

Don't worry, it's not fatal.

Looks like you had a nice nap.

Excuse me.

- Hello?
- What is this?

- I don't know.
- Hello?

Is this Hwang Jun Hyeon's phone?

Yes, who's this?

If you change your number,
you're supposed to tell people!

I saw on the news that
you got hired by Choiseong,

so I called the company to find you.

Aren't you worried about your grandmother?

My grandmother?

All the sacrifices my grandma made,

and all my sweat and
tears I shed on the field.

Can you put a price on all of that?

- Look, I'm a little busy right now.
- Is this really Jun Hyeon?

Your grandmother, who you love, is missing!

She vanished while I went
to the restroom for a second.

Then you should've called the police first.

I did, of course! We've checked the CCTV,

and it looks like she left to come see you.

- What?
- Ok Sun got on a bus to Seoul.

Get to the bus terminal, now!

I can't really do that. I
don't get off work for a while.

Gosh!

Didn't you hear her? Your
grandmother's missing.

- Hurry up and get going, you punk!
- Darn it!

Taxi!

Darn it.

The second she sees me,
she'll know I'm not her grandson.

I can't let my cover be blown already.

Hey, taxi!

Hey, come on!

Gosh.

Get in, quick!

What are you doing slacking off?
You should be back at the office.

I can't believe the nerve of this guy.

And I have to team up with that
rude guy? Should I? Shouldn't I?

Aren't you getting in?

Hey, why are you getting
mad? This isn't your problem.

Unbelievable.

Gosh.

Managing Director Kwon
sent an official notice?

- Why?
- It's like a declaration of war.

He knows exactly what it means
to go after our subcontractors.

Could it be that Kang Jae
Gyeong is pulling the strings?

Right.

I'm bothered Kang Jae Gyeong
knows about my slush fund.

Maybe it's time we start thinking about...

switching up your overseas accounts.

Is that really necessary?

The share battle is about to start.

Shouldn't you bring it back to
Korea and increase your stake?

Handle it cleanly. And
as quickly as possible.

Don't you worry, President.

I'm counting on you, Director Song.

Yes, I'm coming.

President Kang Jae Seong
has given his approval.

As you instructed, I'll start
clearing the slush fund.

He's two minutes late.

And I'm always perfectly on
time. I wonder who he takes after.

Thanks to him, we're getting a
piece of the Yuncheon City port project.

If he doesn't become the next Chairman,

then he's of no use to you.

Don't worry.

Before I'm his wife, I'm your daughter.

- Father, I'm sorry for being late.
- Glad you could make it.

I hope you've been well.

- You made it. Here.
- Thank you.

Is there any trouble at the company?

- Is there?
- No, of course not.

Nothing at all.

I put Taeha in the consortium
late, just as we planned.

It will look completely natural.

I heard the youngest in your
family joined the C&T division.

You really don't have to worry about her.

She's a nobody.

My father has already agreed
to give the new chair all his stock,

so as long as this port project
is wrapped up successfully,

the board of directors will be on my side.

The mayor of Yuncheon is
your old schoolmate, right?

They're thick as thieves. I also
sent his wife some paintings.

I'll deal with the civic group head
and get this thing rubber-stamped.

Kang Jae Gyeong? She's no match for me.

My son-in-law is going
to pay off before I die.

Here.

- Get home safely, Father.
- All right, I will.

Why did you say that to your
father and make me look like a joke?

Especially at a critical time like this.

He's family. What's the big deal?

He's the only father
you have left, isn't he?

Once you become Chairman,

Choiseong and Taeha will join forces,

and we'll be the biggest
company in all of Korea.

So don't you dare...

let Kang Jae Gyeong take it from you.

She can't win. She doesn't
have the backing I do.

Put in a good word with your
father. Tell him to fully support me.

All right.

He's folded in half like a flip phone.

So? How is he?

Do you think he's going to get better?

He's in a coma, so it won't be easy,

- but I have to try.
- Then try.

And make sure he wakes
up as slowly as possible.

What?

I need his life in my hands to
get a fighting chance in the war.

If Kang Jae Seong becomes
Chairman with his father-in-law's backing,

are you going to take
responsibility for that?

I'm a doctor.

I can't do something like
what happened last time again.

You can't just mess with things like that.

If anyone were to find out...

Don't you...

even feel sorry for me?

I never got to breastfeed Il Jun...

because I was building Choiseong Chemical.

We've never even been
on a vacation together.

I've dedicated my entire life to
this endless, darn competition.

I was so sick of it, but I
gritted my teeth and endured.

It was all for you and Il Jun.

- But...
- I'm almost there.

Besides, Father always
trusted me more than Jae Seong.

You know that.

Honey...

You'll help me, won't you?

Whatever I ask...

If it's what you really want...

Restrict my father's visitors for now,

and only update me on his condition.

Father, you don't have the right
to die on your own terms anymore.

I'll decide when it's your time.

(Hangang University Hospital,
VIP ward, authorized personnel only)

Managing Director Kwon from C&T...

has reportedly turned on
Managing Director Song.

(Request for
inter-departmental cooperation)

Gosh... My dear Jae Seong...

I wonder if he'll be able to handle it.

(Seoul Express Bus Terminal)

Where could she be?

Why did she have to
come all the way out here?

You rude punk. Hurry and
call to see where she is.

I don't have her number!

What about a picture?

Hurry up and show me what she looks like.

- I don't have one.
- Don't you know anything?

What about her name and age?

Are you sure she's even your grandmother?

That's not it...

Hwang Jun Hyeon!

There he is, ma'am. Your grandson.

Excuse me, isn't that your grandson there?

Grandma?

She doesn't recognize her own grandson.

She only recognizes you
when you're in your uniform.

It's because she has dementia.

Please, eat up.

Dementia?

These braised soybeans look good too.

Yes.

I really appreciate all your help.
It's not much, but please take this.

Are you sure? I can't accept this.

No, please, take it.

When was this last washed?

My sweet boy.

You have no idea how long
your grandma has been waiting.

I've been busy.

So, how was your game today? Did you win?

How many goals did you score?

You scored three goals?

That's wonderful. Come
here. I'm so proud of you.

I didn't score any goals.

So stop trying to kiss me.

You're handsome anyway.
It's just a bonus if you score.

Hey, you. Go start the car.

- What, am I your chauffeur?
- Just do it! Hurry up.

- Go on, give her a kiss.
- Will you get going, you brat?

- Come on.
- What do you mean, "come on"?

- Let go.
- You're so cute.

Let go of me.

(Hangang University Hospital)

We should just send her back. A
new environment won't be good.

I'd like to schedule a
dementia screening...

and a thorough check-up to
see if there's anything else wrong.

He'll be paying for it.

After all, you stole a
ton of my dad's money.

It's my money.

We'll run a full workup. Don't worry.

Okay, thank you.

Your grandmother must really love you.

She's been holding
your hand this whole time.

Why won't she let go?

I'm so jealous.

My dad...

Mom...

- Bang Geul.
- Bang Geul.

Let's go. Come on.

- No.
- Mom...

- Mom!
- Bang Geul.

Bang Geul.

No...

I don't want to go!

- Bang Geul.
- Mom...

Mom...

Dad, I hate you!

I really hate you!

He must've had his reasons.

Perhaps that was your
father's master plan...

to keep you safe from your siblings.

What kind of father would feel okay
sending away his precious daughter?

A father like that doesn't exist. Got it?

Do you have a secret daughter?
Why are you defending him so much?

- Aren't you going home?
- No, I have to see someone first.

How is Chairman Kang's condition?

The physical therapist has been
massaging him to prevent stiffness,

and we're giving him IV nutrition,
so his condition hasn't worsened.

Copy his chart and bring me a
list of all the medications he's on.

Also, report daily on who comes and goes.

In particular, keep a
close eye on Professor Min.

If anything happens, call
me immediately, anytime.

Okay. And...

About that camera you mentioned before...

We installed it over there.

Linked to the EKG, it will alert
you if there are any abnormalities.

Keep this a secret from her.

Got it.

Don't you worry.

I will not let you die
by my children's hands.

Also...

If his youngest daughter comes by,

make sure she can see Chairman
Kang whenever she wants.

And...

My...

My grandmother... Please
take good care of her too.

Of course.

I'm looking for the top
expert on coma treatment.

I will make sure your father wakes up.

Easy to play the hero with my dad's money.

Just tell me what's next.

Let's smoke them out of their hole.

So we can see who the top dog is.

(Materials Team 2)

Do we really have to go
audit our subcontractors?

It's simple.

We'll toss their warehouse,
check inventory and shipping logs.

Go in there ready to tear them apart.

Why should I listen to you?

- I'm a manager, you're a rookie.
- You put your career on the line.

Just take Materials Team Three
and hit exactly three locations.

Fine.

Which three locations were they again?

(Yujin Networks)

There's a limit to how much
you can throw your weight around.

You're just going through our books?

You're not even from the Sales Division.

Remove your staff and open the warehouse.

Once we've checked your inventory,

- we'll be out of your hair.
- Hey!

Why didn't you get the reports
in and let it get to this, you idiot?

Making them come all this way
from corporate. What a hassle.

Let's not make this a bigger
deal. We're filing a complaint.

If your vendor rating tanks,
we'll terminate our contract.

You know that, right?

Let's finish this with an
inventory. Now, just open the door.

I can't do that, sir.

- I really can't do this.
- I said, open it.

- I said, no!
- Just open it!

I can't.

That's it for today.

- Go on, get in.
- No!

- No!
- No, you can't!

- Don't come in!
- No!

Hey, open this one over here. Hurry.

- No!
- Come on, in you go. This way.

All right, the inventory
in this warehouse...

and the numbers on the books won't match.

But we're not here just
to see if they match or not.

We must find the exact discrepancy. Got it?

- Yes, sir.
- Yes, get to it.

- Hang on.
- No!

- Where are our two interns?
- What are you doing here? Move.

- Get out.
- What do you think you're doing?

Break it up!

Managing Director
Song, we're in big trouble.

(Manager Park Bong Gi)

Come on, seriously.

(Decline)

That's the fifth time he's called.
Are you sure you shouldn't pick up?

I told you, we're after someone else.

Look!

Managing Director Song Nam Hun?

He's the one in charge of
Kang Jae Seong's slush fund.

Let's see where he's headed.

He's starting the car.

They even raided our subcontractor?

Why would Managing Director Kwon do that?

What's Managing Director Song saying?

His secretary said he rushed out,

but he's not answering his phone.

I guess he's meeting the
presidents to smooth things over.

Tell Director Kwon not to
blow this out of proportion.

Why is he stirring up
trouble at a time like this?

Yes, sir.

Hey, book me a massage.

Get me the VIP package,
the kind chairmen get.

- A gentle one.
- Yes, sir.

Make sure it doesn't hurt.

Where are we?

Do you recognize this place?

I know it all too well.

This is the home of Choiseong's in-laws.

It's the home of Chairman
Na Byeong Mo of Taeha.

So Director Song is in
league with Chairman Na?

He was probably a plant
from the very beginning.

All so Song could gain full control
over Kang Jae Seong's slush fund.

That sly old fox.

But Chairman Na still wants him
to take over. So why do all this?

To have something to hold
over Kang Jae Seong's head.

It's his first move to take over
by controlling his idiot son-in-law.

That's perfect.

We'll catch Managing Director Song
and make him reveal the slush fund.

Then we expose his hit-and-run
and make sure he's punished.

Then Taeha will have to
back away from Choiseong.

And just like that, problem solved.

No.

We're taking the slush fund for ourselves.

What?

If you expose it now,

who do you think becomes Chairman?

Kang Jae Gyeong is just as much of a thief.

Not to mention the hit-and-run.

- She even tried to kill me.
- Hey, don't!

I'm going to kick them both out.

And Kang Jae Seong's slush
fund will be our seed money.

That 300 million dollar slush
fund from Choiseong C&T.

Let's siphon it for ourselves.

You stay right on his tail.

He'll definitely try to fix this today.

Go!

Na Byeong Mo... Darn him.

- Heard from Managing Director Song?
- I checked with Yujin's people,

and he refused to meet them,
saying he'd handle it himself.

He wouldn't double-cross me, would he?

What? Double-cross you?

He said we should move the
money, so I trusted him with all of it.

My 300 million dollars.

What?

That crazy jerk!

Sir.

It looks like Managing Director
Song fled with his family.

He's already put his house on the market.

Find Song Nam Hun.

Now!

Managing Director Song...

is gone?

Yes, Secretary Nam has
his people looking for him.

He'd never betray Kang
Jae Seong on his own.

Dig deeper.

And check on Taeha's movements.

Yes, ma'am.

What's Director Song's main
project for Choiseong C&T?

The Yuncheon port project.

The stock rose due to the
article about our C&T division...

moving forward with the
Yuncheon City infrastructure project.

Executive meeting in one hour.

Find a way for Choiseong
Chemical to take over.

Tell them to come in with some proposals.

Yes, ma'am.

There it is.

- What's going on, Honey?
- Here, take this.

It's in dollars. Go
straight to Incheon Port.

I sent the ferry info to your phone.
Take the kids and go to China first.

- What about you?
- I'll be right behind you.

- We're out of time. Hurry.
- Okay.

(President Kang Jae Seong)

What? What is that?

Hey! What's happening?

Hey!

What is that?

So you laundered it through crypto?

Yes, Chairman.

All 300 million dollars...

from President Kang
Jae Seong's slush fund...

is in this crypto asset app.

And this...

is the ID and password.

Because they're crypto
assets, they're untraceable.

You can rest assured.

The world is changing
at a frightening pace.

Makes you wonder how an old
man is supposed to keep up. Right?

After sending my man into the lion's den,

you know I've had no peace, right?

Take a year to rest up and then come back.

I'll keep the president's seat at
Taeha Chemical open for you.

Thank you, Chairman.

Have a piece.

When you're in some hot country,

you're going to miss it.

Now I can finally eat in peace.

Did you know...

Chairman Na was like this?

I had no idea he was this ruthless.

But I bet he is the one
in for the biggest shock.

Hey! What's happening?

That crazy...

Eager to hand over Kang
Jae Seong's slush fund?

Chairman Na's sniveling lapdog.

You're that intern?

Kang Jae Seong must
be looking for you by now.

Think Chairman Na, being so
smart, will let you go once he finds out?

What nonsense did you
overhear to be spouting all this?

That's not something a rookie
like you should be saying.

Get out of here.

If you want to live, you'll
listen to me very carefully.

When you hand the slush
fund over to Chairman Na,

leave out the QR code that grants access.

- What is this nonsense?
- Give 300 million and die,

or you have nothing to lose.

You can take a chance and trust me.

Darn it.

You owe me your life.

That debt.

Repay it with Kang Jae Seong's slush fund.

What's wrong?

Getting greedy now that you're alive?

Thinking of pocketing
that 300 million for yourself?

Whether it's Chairman Na or Kang Jae Seong,

you've got nowhere to run.

No, that's not it.

Okay, I'll give it to you.

Take it all.

Just take it all.

Your family can live on
this for the rest of their lives.

Spend the rest of your life in hiding.

And don't let anyone find you.

So, do you trust me now?

I'm terrified.

I saw it with my own eyes,
and I still can't believe it.

How is any of this possible?

What's wrong with you?
We're just getting started.

You have to keep the promise
you made to your father.

From Kang Jae Gyeong and Kang Jae Seong,

let's take back Choiseong together.

(Reborn Rookie)

So, are we on the same team now?

We have to use Kang Jae Gyeong
to completely defang Kang Jae Seong.

It's a gamble.

If it doesn't work out,
then you can fire me.

Let's pull off something big together.

- Exactly.
- What are you two up to?

But you're a soccer player, aren't you?

The truth is, I'm Chairman
Kang's youngest son.

I've hit the jackpot. My
lips are completely sealed.

This will make things much
easier. We've already won.

Killing him would be too good for him.

- Will Chairman Na stand by?
- You want my help?

- Sir, yes, sir!
- What are you talking about?

Hwang Jun Hyeon, consider your
ties to Choiseong severed as of now.

I can't let you do that.
