Don't you realize how cowardly you're being?
Why are you just watching Ji Su stand at the edge?
Are you going to carry her out only when she collapses?
Why don't you see that she's all alone...
in that scary situation?
She's having...
such a hard time that I can't even bear to watch.
There's...
There's nothing I can do.
I would do anything I can,
but there's nothing I can do...
except take it out on you like this.
Please.
Stay by Ji Su's side.
Don't let her stand alone.
Whether it's rain, snow, or wind,
if you two face it together,
then I think...
I think...
I can stand it as well.
I'm also going to...
start doing things that can torment you as well.
Something you can't ever do, no matter how much power,
money, or time you put In.
Call Secretary Kim in.
She's where?
It's the hotel...
Mr. Han is staying at.
(Image file received)
What about Jae Hyun?
Where is Jae Hyun?
You must be crazy.
Seo Kyung.
What's going on?
- Where did you hide her? - What do you mean?
I'd rather...
you just disappeared.
I've really...
hit rock bottom.
You acted all lofty, but you baited me.
That's low of you.
That's how I'm to hurt you.
You came to the hotel, and you're sitting down here?
I told you why I'm here.
I don't just take things sitting down.
I'll make you pay many times over. Can you handle that?
I don't care what it is as long as it's just me you attack.
I brought it upon myself, and it's my responsibility.
But I won't take it if you hurt anyone else.
And if you don't?
I'll fight as best I can.
With just and moral processes.
Do you think that you being here is moral?
I won't do what you think I will do.
That's my way.
This is my way.
Ruining everything.
If you ruin things...
and hurt others,
do you feel better?
I tried that and I didn't.
It hurt me and...
tortured me even more.
Can you handle a woman with such high principles?
After what you did?
(You have 10 missed calls.)
(Call history)
(Se Hwi)
I feel so very weak.
Come and drive me.
I wanted to hurt your wife.
Because she hurt so many people.
Why didn't you douse her with water?
Or pull out her hair?
They looked good together.
I can't stand it.
So you got upset.
Why did you leave first?
What if they get up to no good?
Because they won't do that.
This is for people in their 20s.
Adults can't do this.
We get sick.
Don't you feel cold?
I do, a bit.
Can you manage to walk home like that night?
I can't.
There's a weight on my heart.
Is there a way other than such a dramatic show?
When I heard that Sun Hee was fired...
when she wasn't involved,
something snapped in my head.
I think I lost control for a while.
Forget what I did today.
I'm not sure if I can.
You're right.
♫ The stars in the sky resemble me ♫
♫ So they're always at the same place ♫
♫ Today, just like yesterday ♫
♫ I'm staying by your side ♫
♫ If you love me, don't hesitate ♫
♫ If you feel the same ♫
♫ Even if a painful tomorrow comes ♫
♫ We'll be able to embrace ♫
♫ All of the moments we spent together ♫
♫ If you love me ♫
(Plaintiff: Han In Ho)
Chairman Jang asked me to make your father...
drop the lawsuit against Hyung Sung Group.
I didn't stop at that.
I made them indict your father.
The prosecutor investigating...
your father's suit against Hyung Sung...
was suddenly transferred to another province.
Another prosecutor was assigned.
Your father was indicted immediately afterward.
That usually happens when a prosecutor disobeys a superior.
I need you to find someone.
Okay. Who am I looking for?
The prosecutor who was taken off my father's lawsuit.
Young Min. What are you doing?
I'm coming!
Mom.
Who dared to come here?
Wait here.
Let's go, Young Min.
I know you don't want to see me,
but let's go home and talk.
Mom. Did you call me?
Did you not get my text?
What are you doing?
It looks like you intercepted my texts.
You can sue,
but I still have custody and parental rights.
Your visitation rights...
can't go over 1 night 2 days, once every two weeks.
Get your things, Young Min.
The whole country knows you're a mistress,
and you want to raise my grandson?
I still have custody and parental rights.
Young Min was here for four days, and that's against the law.
- How dare you... - Mother.
If you touch even a hair on my body,
I'll sue you for assault too.
Don't you dare touch me in front of my son again.
Young Min, let's go.
How much longer...
must I put up with that?
Young Min.
Do you really not want to live with Mom?
If you really don't, I can let you go.
But if you're doing it for me,
I can't.
I know you didn't tell me what happened at school...
for my sake.
Your small head's so full of worries.
If I could, I'd like to get them out and erase them.
I'll think about it.
I told Dad something,
and I can't decide right now.
Want me to push your swing? I'm good at that.
I used to push you,
and you'd spin 360 degrees.
You're getting better at bluffing.
To make you smile.
They're continuously buying shares.
We have 36.8 percent,
and Vice-president Han has 38.85 percent.
Once the third-party recapitalization is finalized,
we will have 56.8 percent.
What was the court's reply?
Even if they sue that recapitalization is unjust,
if we do as you say, there are no legal problems.
Legal confirmed that.
Recapitalization is illegal...
if it's solely to defend my position,
but it's okay if we're improving our financial structure?
Isn't that funny?
You are truly amazing.
How did you think of that?
Director Lee. How long will the prosecution investigate?
VP Han took the blame for the borrowed name accounts,
and he can't sue the family over dividends.
- You needn't worry, but... - But what?
I'm concerned that Kang Seung Woo is in charge.
He's very persistent.
I'm looking into him from all angles.
What did Seo Kyung do this time to cause trouble?
She fired someone from...
the distribution center without good reason.
(Labor Committee)
I could've come alone.
I can't just sit and watch when it happened because of me.
It wasn't purely because of you.
I thought I'd be let go any day.
What for?
No one works as hard as you.
What does a cashier know about distribution?
They needed to take me back,
but they didn't like me.
So they shoved me into a corner.
I bet they thought I'd quit soon.
They had no idea I'm tougher than nails.
People in your situation are usually taken back.
Don't worry too much.
I shouldn't.
That way, I can sleep and eat.
- Hey, Hye Jung. - Where are you?
- I'm on my way home. - Come over.
Dong Jin's buying to celebrate getting a bonus.
I know you're not in the mood,
but we won't drink until we die.
I want to cheer you up because you must feel down.
- It's not that you want to drink? - Does it show?
I brought this for you.
I heard you love these.
Are you trying to pick a fight with me?
Shall I give you a trauma of that chocolate cake?
I don't like that too.
I haven't had one since that day.
Hey!
Die, you chocolate cake!
(July 1994)
I want to die.
The weeds are more like bamboo.
Shouldn't they just pluck the barley and keep the weeds?
You didn't work most of the time.
Forget it.
Hey.
- Pull off my boots for me. - No.
Please.
I'm low on sugar.
Hey.
(Village Hall)
(Chocolate Pie)
Hey. Let's eat this.
- Can we eat this? - Why not? Isn't it for us?
I was low on sugar and almost died.
I feel better now.
Eat up.
Eat.
What are you doing?
What are you eating?
A chocolate cake.
Why are you eating that?
Because I want to.
Just you?
It's not just any chocolate cake.
Don't you know the elderly bought it for us to share?
Eat one if you want.
Why are you complaining?
It's not community service if we eat what we want!
That's called camping!
We bit our fingers to draw blood
And make a stern vow
We cry out for the truth
As brothers and sisters
That's the end of the meeting.
Finally,
about earlier today.
What? Me?
Hey. Will you cut it out?
Who speaks like that during a meeting?
Cut it out.
Sir.
I was hungry and ate just one.
Is that such a serious issue?
Without rules and boundaries, things turn into a mess in no time.
Do you think that list is a decoration?
You snack whenever you want, nap whenever you want,
and shower whenever you want. Are you here to have fun?
I apologize. It won't happen again.
We didn't eat all the time. It was just that one time.
Right?
And we only ate one each.
Right?
We found three empty wrappers.
Listen.
I was so very tired today...
Who here wasn't tired?
Today's task was so hard that even...
the elderly struggle with it.
And the team leaders had a meeting and slept for just three hours.
Mr. Dong Jin.
How many times did you stand up as we worked?
As often as I needed to. Why?
Do you know how many times the elderly stood up?
Wouldn't it be weirder to count that?
Did you count that instead of working?
They never stood up to stretch once.
"The students came here to show off."
"They're more of a nuisance."
"They laugh, play, eat, and drink."
If that's how...
you'll make them think, pack up and leave.
Also, if someone eats whenever they want,
someone else will definitely end up getting left out.
It's upsetting.
So what, then? What should we do?
You two can prepare tomorrow's breakfast and dinner.
And do one more weeding session.
- Hey. - "Hey"?
I'm to stand in front of a fire in this summer heat...
Come on.
Listen.
Can't I just puke it up?
Okay. I'll free you if you puke it up round and whole.
Mr. Dong Jin.
I'm going home. Forget this.
Leave me alone.
No. Okay?
Stop complaining.
Do you think I'm complaining now?
I only had one chocolate pie. He's throwing a fit over that.
Ji Su, what's wrong with you?
What's wrong?
She passed out. Let me put her away.
Put me down, Jae Hyun.
Come on, put me down.
Put me down, please!
You're making this harder. Don't move.
No! Put me down.
- Why are you doing this? - I should ask you that.
- You passed out. - I didn't pass out.
Let's just say that you did.
Let's go to the village hall and rest up.
Why?
I can't do that. How can I rest when others are working?
You're not well right now.
Everyone wants to rest up. I can't be the only one resting.
We're not here to play.
If we rest and sleep when we want,
we won't be volunteering then.
I'm going back.
Ji Su.
You're not well. Please?
Hurry. Let's get back to work.
Gosh. Little knowledge is a dangerous thing.
After that incident,
when the students were taking it easy, Ji Su came over...
and said, "You're here to volunteer."
She kept nagging. Seriously.
Exactly. After she came back, she only talked about that.
I thought she served in the Marines.
But it was unfair for me. I didn't get to eat that much.
Right. Young Woo spat it out after having a bite.
What a fool. I told you to eat and swallow quickly and secretly.
What volunteer work are they talking about?
I think they went to the countryside to volunteer.
Have you been to one?
No. Our department didn't have a program for that.
Is it like camping?
Camping was no fun either.
Let's stop this now.
May I ask what you're referring to?
Eavesdropping or taking photos secretly.
I want to stop now.
I'm sick of it.
(Lee Se Hun)
It's been a while. But nothing has changed for us.
Unless you want to be friends with me, get to the point.
I want to check something.
I heard that you're in a divorce suit now.
So what?
Do you really want to divorce him?
Why should I tell you that?
Let's just call it a courtesy for a man whom you joined hands with.
Do you still have feelings for your husband?
What about you?
Are you still pursuing your ex-wife?
What about child custody?
Taking the custody or reuniting with her...
don't interest me any longer.
I just want Han Jae Hyun and Ji Su...
to suffer in pain.
Jae Hyun.
Young Woo.
Thanks for calling me.
It looked like she was still struggling.
Thank you for telling me to stand by Ji Su.
Then, you should come by often. I don't have many customers now.
Sure. But I can't drink a lot.
You have Ji Su.
She can outdrink 100 people.
Hey,
are you okay?
Of course, I'm...
not fine.
But this was my decision.
So I'll face the responsibility.
Well, I don't think it's over for me yet.
- Is that so? - Who knows when you'll mess up?
And she might stop finding you attractive.
Why did you come?
It's raining. And I've been feeling down.
You're such an oldie.
Seeing how you know the song, you're an oldie too.
Actually, we talked about our college days, so I missed you.
I knew it. I had a feeling some people were talking about me.
The sound of rain is always comforting. It's calming.
But still, you can't get wet. Stay close to me.
Your shoulder is getting all wet. Come close.
It's bound to get wet. I have such broad shoulders.
By the way, your umbrella feels so cozy.
The ceiling is pretty high, I say.
♫ I will tell you ♫
♫ One day, if I ever get to that point ♫
If you catch a cold, it'll be a burden on me.
♫ After all this time has passed ♫
♫ You're not just a memory ♫
Yesterday, the Labor Committee sent...
an order of relief regarding the wrongful termination case.
It's Choi Sun Hee's termination.
So what do they want?
If you don't follow the order,
you will be fined for not following the order.
Or you can apply for an appeal.
But the cause of termination isn't favorable for us.
I can just pay the fine.
The labor union or the shareholders might not approve.
I don't care.
Ms. Jang has no intention of reinstating...
Ms. Choi Sun Hee.
That will be a problem.
The Labor Committee sent an order to reinstate her.
But she'll just pay the fine for it.
(Parking, Lobby)
(Murderous Company! I report the brutality of Hyung Sung!)
Sir.
I didn't know you started again.
I'm too embarrassed to face you.
I haven't done much for my wife.
I couldn't even keep my last promise to her.
You promised her...
to settle the grudge of your late son, right?
I didn't know...
how I should spend the rest of my life.
This was the only thing I could do.
Han Jae Hyun didn't even apologize to you after the trial, right?
He has time to have an affair.
But I guess he doesn't have time to apologize to you.
An affair?
Yes.
But it looks like he's going after his wife's assets after all that.
There's a rumor that he's going to take over Hyung Sung soon.
He's responsible...
for your son's unfair death.
When I looked into him while preparing for the trial,
he's done the same thing multiple times.
His greed is endless.
To satisfy his greed, he's willing to use every means possible.
This world is too cruel.
He will be punished.
Pardon?
- Yes, hello? - Ji Su. This is awful.
Sun Hee collapsed.
Brain surgery?
Yes.
It wasn't major surgery.
The surgery went well too.
But why did that happen all of a sudden?
It didn't happen out of the blue.
She collapsed once before when she was working at the company.
I bet it was hard working at the logistics center.
She used to be a cashier.
She was new to the job, but they kept pressuring her.
She overworked herself by staying late and this happened.
She needs to get the doctor's note...
to apply for the industrial accident insurance.
And she has to protest for her wrongful termination.
Things are tough these days,
so no one is willing to lead it.
It looks like the labor union doesn't want to help either.
If you get fired nowadays, it's hard to find a job.
Tell me about her family.
She has an old mother and a son in middle school.
There's no one else who can work.
Sun Hee.
Hello.
Why are you sitting up? You should lie down.
Just because.
I'm just scared...
that I might end up in bed for the rest of my life.
Don't say such a thing.
Drinking with you...
was fun.
I'll entertain you more. So make a quick recovery.
I'm not sure if that's in the cards.
Look at me now.
There's nothing wrong with you. You'll recover soon.
And you made a promise to me that you won't go down without a fight.
Losing sounds pretty good now.
Perhaps,
I might not even...
have a chance to fight.
Issuing the stocks to their supporters...
to protect the right of management...
aren't allowed by our legal system.
Then, doesn't it mean we should also lodge a lawsuit?
The third-party allotment is allowed under a few conditions.
Improving the financial structure.
Chairman Jang will say that he chose to do so...
to improve the financial structure.
Then, what should we do?
We must sue even if we don't get the result we want.
Regardless of the result, we must spread the word...
that we're in a stock battle over the control of the company.
Why is that?
Be it a lawsuit or a rumor.
The issue for the control of the company...
must be in the limelight.
When the stocks go up because of the rumor,
there has to be more stocks.
It's hard to buy more stocks at the current stock price.
If the price goes up even more, how will you handle that?
We don't have to buy a lot.
We just need to make it look like we're buying.
With the third-party allotment,
they will have over 50 percent of the shares.
Then, it's a losing fight.
As for this game, the party that loses first...
will win later.
Excuse me.
I'd like to see you for a moment.
Let's call it a day today.
By the way, the company is...
getting a lot of buzz for the wrongful termination of an employee.
She's asking to be reinstated and for compensation...
of the industrial accident.
If you give them a precedent,
there will be more cases later on.
Ji Su.
Sun Hee was clearly wrongfully terminated.
The doctor confirmed that overworking...
was the cause of her fall.
I'm well aware, but I don't think I can do much.
The president of the company has the right over HR.
People keep demanding to change the president,
but Chairman Jang won't even budge.
And my investors are very sensitive about the union activities...
and compensating for industrial accidents.
Why is that?
In the end, they want to own the company.
They don't want to side with employees.
But without them,
I can't win the fight...
I have been preparing for years against Chairman Jang.
Except for punishment Chairman Jang,
do you also want to be the owner of the company?
Why is that?
It wasn't yours, to begin with.
It's my revenge and reward.
Is that too hard to understand?
To reach that goal,
is it okay to sacrifice several powerless people?
For the main character,
nameless soldiers in the front will take the hit.
And that's beyond your power?
Whether he's the general or an officer,
the main character always orders other soldiers in the middle.
Nameless soldiers in the front will take the bullets.
And even if they make it alive,
they silently fall at the swords or guns of their enemies.
But no one on the battlefield...
should be expected to die at their swords or guns.
Before they fall,
everyone is the main character in their life.
It wasn't Jang Seo Kyung, my ex-husband, or the kids.
The biggest obstacle between you and me was this.
I still love you...
and will continue to love you.
But I will do things that I believe to be right.
And I will side with people that no one sides with.
Just like we fell in love again,
I hope you can come back to your old self.
Things are tough these days,
so no one is willing to lead it.
I might not even...
have a chance to fight.
But without them,
I can't win the fight...
I have been preparing for years against Chairman Jang.
(Petition)
(Purpose of the Petition: She was my former colleague...)
(at the supermarket. She was a cashier at the supermarket.)
My gosh, you don't have to do this.
This is nothing for me.
I'm an okay cook, but I just have fast hands.
I already cooked breakfast for my son.
But still. I'm not sure if I can accept this.
Compared to what Sun Hee did for me, this is nothing.
You don't have to feel bad at all.
Hey, son. You'll be my son for the time being.
Hello.
(Labor Attorney Kwak Tae Geun)
(Labor Law Office, Labor Attorney Kwak Tae Geun)
One moment.
What do you think you're doing?
I thought you wouldn't come if I asked.
You said you wouldn't be seeing me if it's about Ms. Choi.
This is a petition from the people I used to work with.
You can keep this. It's just a copy.
I'm heading to court with the original.
And what do you expect me to do?
I'm going to file for wrongful termination.
You didn't have a fair reason,
nor did you give her the notice 30 days in advance.
Once it is proved,
you will have to pay the wage for the time she was laid off,
and it can also be considered a criminal offense...
by the labor union for going against the remedial order.
And I'm going to take this to a broadcasting station.
What did you say?
Thanks to you, everyone knows my face,
and I have a story,
so they said I'm welcome anytime.
Are you saying you want to destroy...
all three of us?
I told you, didn't I?
That I'm going to try my best and fight.
In a fair and just way.
I'll give you three days.
Excuse me, sir.
I heard from Ms. Jang's driver...
that Ms. Yoon came to your house this morning.
What for?
She said she would file a lawsuit regarding Ms. Choi...
and also reveal the case on television.
The number you have called is not in service.
I don't think she's home, sir.
Can you find out where Ms. Choi is hospitalized?
I will check, sir.
Sir.
I found the prosecutor you mentioned last time.
Is that so? Where is he?
He runs a law firm in Incheon.
The documents the chief prosecutor gave me...
were all true.
I see.
And...
About your father's case...
It's one of the most painful memories I have...
among the cases I dealt with as a prosecutor.
The data your father brought me...
all clearly proved that Hyung Sung was guilty.
So the investigation had an easy start.
But as it progressed,
we got more phone calls...
and was called in here and there.
They were all different places,
but they had the same demand.
They wanted us to end the investigation...
and clear Hyung Sung and Chairman Jang's name.
While working as a prosecutor,
I always kept one thing in my heart.
That I would never compromise, even if I can't keep justice.
Well, that's why I ended up like this.
Anyway,
I started the investigation with those who had given...
those orders and requests at that time.
I was curious...
why those people were covering up for Chairman Jang.
But when I began looking into it,
so many things involved Chairman Jang with him in the middle.
It was just endless.
This is the conclusion...
I came to.
As soon as I brought this...
and reported it to Chief Prosecutor Yoon,
my career as a prosecutor ended there.
It may be a bit late,
but you will now...
be able to keep justice as well.
But I will do things that I believe to be right.
And I will side with people...
that no one sides with.
Just like we fell in love again,
I hope you can come back to your old self.
Why is it here again? You're making me nervous.
But where are the chicken gizzards?
What are you trying to say that's making you smile like that?
Are you trying to surprise me?
All right. Let me take a pill to relax.
I going to try and go back.
Where?
To where I used to be, long ago.
Eat up and study, okay?
Aren't you tired? You're always there cooking.
When you were having a hard time at school,
don't you think it would have been less hard and lonely...
if someone had helped you and taken your side?
I'll be back, okay?
I have something to tell you. I hope you will come.
It's something important.
I'll see you at that place we went last time at 9pm.
Give this to Mr. Jung Yoon Ki...
and go right home.
Yes, sir. What should I tell him?
He will get it if you tell him this is the second Pandora's box.
Yes, sir.
Hello.
What flower would you like?
I'm looking for roses.
(August 1994)
You two have fights too?
Why did you fight?
Ever since the volunteer work,
he keeps treating me like a kid.
He won't let me do anything difficult...
and keeps taking care of me. It makes me uncomfortable.
You're so annoying. Gosh!
I got a page.
I'm in front of your house. I'm going to wait until you come out.
You laughed after you cried.
What's all this?
I heard that it means you want to make up...
if you give red and white roses together.
From who?
Dong Jin.
Fighting with you is so hard.
Me too.
Let's not fight.
If we feel like we're going to fight,
let's put our right hand up.
If the other person puts their right hand up,
you can sense that they are mad and stop,
since we could get into a fight.
Like this?
You can go if you're busy.
It's nothing.
I...
have to watch TV. You're going to distract me.
It's really okay.
What are you, my husband or my daughter?
Why are you here bothering me all the time?
You're here like this because of me.
Why would this be your fault?
You can really go today, okay?
Seriously.
It's okay.
Goodness.
Hello, sir.
- Yes, hello. - I am the father...
of Kwon Hyuk Soo, the man who died because of you.
- Sir, I... - You!
Oh my goodness!
Oh my gosh...
Ji Su.
