Don't you think you're being a coward?
Why is Ji Su standing at the edge of a cliff alone...
while you stand back and watch?
What? Will you carry her and run if she falls?
She's all alone in that frightening place.
Why can't you see that?
She's...
hurting so badly, that it's impossible to even watch.
There's...
There's nothing I can do.
If there were anything I could do, I'd do it.
But there's nothing I can do...
but complain to you.
I'm begging you.
Please stay with Ji Su.
Don't make her stand there alone.
Be it rain, snow, or wind,
if you face it together,
then I...
I...
can live too.
I'll do...
what makes you the most miserable now.
Something that you can never do even if you use all the power,
money, and time that you have.
Send Ms. Kim in.
That woman went where?
To the hotel...
where Mr. Han is staying.
(Image file)
What about Jae Hyun?
Where is he?
You've lost your mind too.
Seo Kyung.
What's going on?
What is it?
- Where did you hide her? - What are you talking about?
I wish...
you'd just disappear.
I've really...
hit rock bottom.
You acted like you had more class, but you tricked me.
I guess you're not so different.
That way, you'd be hurt.
Why aren't you going up after coming all the way here?
I just told you why I came here.
I'm not someone who just takes things.
I'll pay you back several times over.
Can you handle that?
It's fine if I'm your only target.
Because I brought it upon myself and I'm responsible for it.
But I won't sit still if you cause the people around me harm.
What are you going to do?
I will fight back with all my might.
In a righteous and fair way.
Are you saying your being here is righteous?
I won't do anything today that you're imagining.
That's how I do things.
This is how I do things.
Breaking everything.
Do breaking things...
and hurting others...
make you feel better?
I've tried it too, but it didn't help.
It made me feel more pain...
and suffer even more.
Can you handle someone with such a strong sense of justice?
After what you've done?
(10 missed calls)
(Se Hwi)
Hey, I don't feel well.
Can you come and drive for me?
I wanted to hurt Ms. Jang...
because too many people were hurt.
You should've thrown water at her...
or pulled her hair.
They looked great together.
It's annoying.
So that's why you lost your temper.
Then why did you leave first?
What if they do something?
Because I knew that wouldn't happen.
This is what people do in their 20s.
We shouldn't do this at our age.
Our bodies can't handle it.
Aren't you cold?
I'm a little cold.
Do you think you can walk home like you did back then?
I don't think so.
I feel like I have a heavy rock lodged in my heart.
I wish I could come up with...
something better than this little act.
Since I heard that Sun Hee got fired...
when she had done nothing wrong,
I felt like something in my head snapped,
and I lost all sense of reason.
Please forget how I acted today.
I'm not sure if I can.
You were right.
(Case Summary, Plaintiff: Han In Ho)
Chairman Jang asked me to ignore...
your father's report on Hyungsung.
But I didn't stop there.
Rather, I got your father indicted.
The prosecutor who was investigating...
your father's complaint against Hyungsung...
was suddenly transferred out of the city,
and a new prosecutor was assigned the case.
Your father was indicted immediately afterward.
They say that usually happens if the prosecutor...
defies someone higher up.
I need you to find a person.
Yes, sir. Whom should I find?
The prosecutor who investigated my father's case and was replaced.
Young Min. What are you doing?
Yes, Grandma.
Mom.
How dare she come here?
Stay here.
Young Min, let's go home.
I know you don't want to see me,
but let's go home. Let's talk at home.
Mom, did you contact me?
I texted you. Didn't you get it?
What are you doing?
It looks like you intercepted my texts.
Even if you file a lawsuit,
I still have sole custody.
Your visitation rights...
allow you only two days every other week.
Young Min, pack your stuff and come out.
Everyone in this country knows about your affair.
Are you saying you'll still raise my grandson?
I have sole custody and parental rights.
Young Min stayed here for four days,
and that's illegal.
- Why you little... - Mother.
If you lay even a finger on me,
you'll be charged with assault too.
Never hit me in front of my son again.
Young Min, let's go.
How long...
must I put up with that?
Young Min.
Do you really not want to live with me?
If that's what you really want, I can let you go.
But if it's for me,
I can't.
I know you didn't tell me what happened at school...
because of me.
Why do you have so many worries in that little head of yours?
I wish I could find them all and erase them one by one.
I'll think about it.
Because of what I said to Dad,
I can't make a decision right now.
Want me to push you? I'm good at it.
I used to push you on a swing when you were younger,
and you would swing all the way around.
You're lying more and more now.
I wanted to make you laugh.
They're not doing anything but buying shares.
Currently, we have 36.8 percent,
and they have 38.85 percent.
But after increasing capital by issuing third-party stock,
we'll have 56.8 percent.
Did you look into the legal matter?
Even if they file a suit claiming increasing capital is unfair,
if we do as you suggested, we won't have any legal issues.
I've confirmed that with Legal.
So it's unlawful...
if the purpose is to maintain control over the company,
but it is if it's to improve financial structure.
Isn't that funny?
You are so brilliant.
How did you come up with the idea?
Mr. Lee, how long do you think the investigation will take?
Mr. Han took the responsibility for the borrowed accounts,
and the dividends are fine because it was within the family.
- So you don't have to worry, but... - But what?
I'm worried that Kang Seung Woo is in charge of the case.
He's quite tenacious.
I'm asking around about him.
By the way, what did Seo Kyung do to cause such a ruckus?
She dismissed an employee at the distribution center...
all of a sudden for no reason.
(Labor Relations Committee)
You didn't have to come.
How could I sit back and watch when it happened because of me?
You weren't the only reason.
I knew I was going to get fired soon.
Why would they fire you?
There's no one who works harder than you do.
I was a cashier. I know nothing about logistics.
They had to hire me back,
but they weren't fond of me,
so they gave me a job that wouldn't suit me.
I bet they thought I would quit soon.
They wouldn't have known how persistent I could be.
I heard they issue a remedial order in a case like this,
so don't worry too much.
I know.
That way, I'll be able to eat and sleep.
- Hi, Hye Jung. - Where are you?
- I'm on my way home. - Stop by for a moment.
Dong Jin is treating because he got a bonus.
I know you're not in the mood,
but I'm not saying we should get hammered together.
You must be frustrated, so I wanted to make you feel better.
- You just want to drink. - You can tell?
I brought this for you, Dong Jin.
I heard you like this so much.
Gosh. Are you challenging me again?
Do you want a trauma associated with chocolate bread?
I hate that too.
I've never eaten it since that day.
Darn.
Die! Die, you chocolate bread!
Gosh.
(July 1994)
I'm exhausted.
Those aren't weeds. They're like bamboo shoots.
Shouldn't they grow the weeds instead of barley?
But you slacked off the whole time.
Forget it.
Hey.
- Take off my boots, please. - No.
Come on.
I need sweets.
Oh, right.
(Senior Citizen Center)
(Choco Pie)
Here. Let's eat.
Can we eat this?
Why can't we? Didn't they buy it for us to eat?
I was craving sweets so much.
I feel much better now.
Eat up.
What are you guys doing?
What are you eating?
Chocolate bread.
Why are you eating that?
Because I want to.
You're not the only one.
It's not just any bread.
Don't you know that they bought them for the students to share?
Exactly. You should eat one too.
Don't complain about my eating.
You don't eat as you want while doing voluntary work.
We're not on a retreat.
Biting our fingers
We made a pledge
We are all brothers
Crying out for the truth
Let's wrap up the evaluation here.
Before we go,
let's talk about what happened in the afternoon.
What? Me?
Gosh. Hey, drop it already.
Speak formally during a meeting, please.
I said, drop it already.
Please.
I ate just one because I was hungry.
Is it really that bad?
Without rules,
volunteer work can get messy in an instant.
Do you think we wrote that for fun?
You eat snacks, take a nap, and shower...
whenever you want. Are you here to have fun?
I apologize. It won't happen again.
Seriously. We didn't eat every day. It happened only once.
If I may.
Besides, I ate only one.
If I may.
We found three empty wrappers.
Listen.
I was extremely tired earlier...
Everyone was tired.
What we did today was very intense work...
that's hard even for the villagers.
Moreover, the team leaders slept less than three hours last night.
Also, Mr. Lee Dong Jin,
how many times did you stretch your back while weeding?
Just enough number of times. Why?
Do you know how many times the elderly villagers stretched?
Wouldn't it be weirder if I knew that?
Were you watching them instead of working?
They never stretch their backs while working.
"Those students came here just to brag."
"They only interfered with work."
"All they did was eat, drink, and laugh."
If that's what they'll say about us,
we had better pack up and go home now.
Also, if you eat whenever you want,
there would be some people who can't get any food.
It would be so sad.
So what? What do you want me to do?
You two prepare breakfast and dinner tomorrow.
And an additional session of weeding.
- Hey. - "Hey"?
How am I supposed to cook in this heat...
Darn it.
Hold on. Mr. Han.
Can't I just throw it all up?
Okay. We'll accept it if you throw it up in its original form.
Mr. Lee.
- I'm out of here. Unbelievable. - What?
No. I worked really hard.
No.
Stop whining.
Does this sound like whining to you?
Did you see him throw a hissy fit over some snacks?
Ji Su. What's wrong?
What's wrong?
She fainted. I'll bring her inside.
Put me down.
Please put me down.
No. Stay still.
No. Put me down.
- What's wrong with you? - Well, what's wrong with you?
- You fainted. - I did not.
Fine, say that's true.
Let's rest at Village Hall.
Why?
This isn't right. How can I rest by myself?
You're not normal right now.
Everyone wants to rest. So how can I rest alone?
And this isn't some retreat.
We can't rest and sleep whenever we want.
That's not doing volunteer labor.
I'm going back.
Ji Su.
You're not well.
Hurry up. Let's go and work.
The newbies are always the worst.
Ever since then, Ji Su would complain...
if anyone seemed to slack off, she'd go,
"You call this doing volunteer labor?"
She nagged our ears off.
Exactly. That's all she talked about when she got back.
I thought she trained with the Marines or something.
It was unfair for me. I hardly ate any.
That's right. Young Woo had just taken a bite and spit it out.
Idiot. That's why I told you to eat it quickly.
What's volunteer labor?
I think they're referring to doing volunteer work at farms.
Did you do that?
No. My department didn't do that.
Is it like camping?
Even camping was boring.
Let's stop.
What do you mean?
Bugging her phone, watching her every move...
I want to stop it all.
I'm sick of it.
(Lee Se Hoon)
It's been a while, but we haven't changed at all.
Unless you want to become friends, cut to the chase.
I want to confirm something.
I heard you're in the middle of getting a divorce.
So?
Do you really want to get a divorce?
Why must I tell you that?
Let's call it etiquette toward a former collaborator.
Are you still not over Han Jae Hyun?
What about you?
Have you not given up on Yoon Ji Su yet?
What about custody?
I'm not interested anymore...
in either custody or reconciliation.
I simply want Han Jae Hyun...
and Yoon Ji Su to be miserable.
Jae Hyun.
Young Woo.
Thanks for calling.
She still looks like she's having a tough time.
Thanks for telling me not to leave her alone too.
Then come by often. Business is slow lately.
Sure. But I can't drink much.
You have Ji Su.
She drinks enough for 100.
Are you...
okay?
Of course, I am...
not.
Still... Since it was my choice,
I have to deal with it.
Still, I don't think it's over.
- Really? - Who knows when you'll mess up?
And who knows when you'll finally lose your charm?
Why did you come pick me up?
Because it was raining and I was feeling blue.
You're so old.
You're not so young either.
Actually, I missed you because we were reminiscing about old times.
No wonder my ears were burning.
The sound of rain always comforts me since it sounds like "pat pat".
Okay, but stick close so you don't get wet.
You should come in more. Your shoulder will get wet.
It'll get wet regardless because I have such broad shoulders.
It feels cozy having you hold the umbrella for me.
It has a high ceiling though.
It'll be a pain for me if you catch a cold.
The Labor Relations Committee...
issued an Order of Remedy for improper termination...
of Choi Sun Hee.
So? What do they want me to do?
If you don't follow the order,
there will be an enforcement fine.
Or you may request a retrial,
but the grounds for termination are not in our favor.
We'll just pay.
There may be backlash from the labor union and shareholders.
I don't care.
Ms. Jang says she has no intention of reinstating...
Choi Sun Hee.
That would cause problems then.
The Labor Relations Committee issued an Order of Remedy,
but she said she'd just pay the enforcement fine.
(Murderer, Hold Hyungsung accountable for brutality)
Sir.
I didn't know you were back to protesting.
I'm terribly sorry.
I've never done anything for my wife,
and I couldn't keep my last promise either.
You mean your promise...
to get justice for your late son, right?
I wondered...
what I should do during my time remaining,
and this was all I could do.
Han Jae Hyun never apologized even after the trial, right?
He has time to have an affair,
but not to make an apology.
An affair?
Yes.
And yet, he's going after his in-law's fortune.
There's a rumor that Hyungsung will become his soon.
Your son's wrongful death...
was all his doing.
From what I uncovered while working on the case,
he had done that numerous times.
His greed has no limit.
And there's nothing he won't do to get what he wants.
Life is so unfair.
He'll be punished.
Pardon?
- Hi. - What do we do?
Sun Hee collapsed.
Brain surgery?
Yes.
It wasn't major surgery,
and it went well apparently.
But why so suddenly...
It wasn't that sudden.
She fainted once while she was working.
How well could a cashier do at a distribution center?
She was new at it, but they kept pressuring her,
so she pushed herself and worked late at night. That's why.
She has to get the hospital record...
to file for workers' compensation...
and we have to protest her wrongful termination.
But the atmosphere isn't good right now.
No one is willing to protest.
Even the union doesn't seem to want to.
There's really nowhere to go now if we get fired.
How big is her family?
One elderly parent, and her son who's in middle school.
There's no one else who can make money.
Sun Hee.
Hi.
Why are you sitting up? You should lie down.
Just because.
I was a bit scared...
that I'd be lying down forever.
Don't say that.
It was fun...
drinking with you.
I'll show you even more fun, so shake it off and get better.
Will I be able to?
Like this?
Nothing's wrong with you. You'll recover in no time.
And you promised you won't lose easily.
I wish I could lose.
I feel like...
I may not even get another chance...
to fight.
Our courts don't allow...
issuing shares only to entities on your side...
to ensure you maintain management rights.
Shouldn't we sue then?
There are times when issuing stock to third parties...
for capital increase is permitted.
Improving financial structure.
Chairman Jang will say...
that was the motive for issuing the stock.
Then what must we do?
Even if we don't get the answer that we want, we should still sue.
And regardless of the results,
we must spread a rumor that we're fighting for control.
Why is that?
Whether it's through a lawsuit or rumors,
the conflict over management rights must gain public attention.
If the rumors cause stock prices to increase,
we'll have to keep increasing the number of shares.
It's too hard to buy more stock even at current prices.
How will you handle it if it goes up even more?
We don't need to buy a lot.
We just have to give an illusion that we're buying up the shares.
Once they issue the third party stock,
they'll own over 50 percent.
What use is the fight for management control?
In this game, losing first will help you...
win the following game.
Excuse me.
Let's meet for a few minutes.
Let's call it a day.
One more thing.
I hear there's a problem with a wrongful termination.
She's filing for workers' compensation as well.
If you give in now,
they'll keep asking for more and will multiply.
Ji Su.
Sun Hee was wrongfully terminated without a doubt.
The hospital confirmed that the cause...
was from overworking.
I know that, but it isn't easy.
The CEO controls human resources.
People keep saying we need a new CEO,
but Chairman Jang won't budge.
Our investors are very sensitive about workers' compensation...
and labor unions.
Why?
They only want to become the company's owner.
So they don't want to take the employees' side.
But without them,
I can't win the fight...
against Chairman Jang that I've been preparing for years.
Punishing Chairman Jang aside,
is becoming the owner of the company what you want?
Why?
It wasn't yours to begin with.
It's retribution as well as compensation.
Is that too hard to understand?
Is it okay...
to sacrifice a few powerless people in order to achieve that goal?
Because the nameless soldiers...
on the front line dying is inevitable...
to protect the main character, is that it?
Whether he's a general or an officer,
the main character always gives orders in the middle of the troop.
On the front line,
nameless soldiers are used as human shields.
Even if they get lucky and survive,
they are killed quietly by enemy guns or swords.
However, none of them...
deserves to be killed by guns or swords.
And they were the stars in their own lives before they died like that.
So this was the biggest obstacle between us, not Jang Seo Kyung,
Young Min's dad, or the kids.
I still do...
and will continue loving you, but...
I will do what I believe is right,
and I'll take sides with the people whom no one will stand with.
Just as we fell in love again,
I wish you'd return to being how you were then.
But the atmosphere isn't good right now.
No one is willing to protest.
I may not even get another chance...
to fight.
But without them,
I can't win the fight...
against Chairman Jang that I've been preparing for years.
(Petition)
(Subject Matter)
(Choi Sun Hee, who was a contract worker at Hyungsung Mart...)
It's really okay.
I'm really okay too.
The taste is so-so, but I work quickly.
I've already made my son his lunch.
Even still, I don't know if I can accept all this.
It's nothing compared to everything Sun Hee did for me,
so don't feel bad at all.
Son. Let's make you my son for the time being.
Hey.
(Labor Law, Kwak Tae Geun)
Hold on.
What are you doing?
I didn't think you'd come even if I asked to meet...
since you said you wouldn't see me regarding Choi Sun Hee.
It's a petition by her colleagues.
Keep it. It's just a copy.
I'm taking the original to court.
So? What about it?
I'm going to sue for wrongful termination.
You had no proper cause...
and failed to notify her 30 days ahead of time.
If the court agrees it was wrongful termination,
you'll be forced to pay her back pay from the time of termination.
You may be charged under criminal law...
if you fail to comply with the Order of Remedy.
I plan to go to TV studios afterward.
What was that?
Everyone knows what I look like thanks to you,
as well as about my life,
so the studios told me I'm always welcome.
Are you saying you, Jae Hyun, and I...
should all go up in flames?
Like I told you,
I'm going to fight with all my might.
Using fair and just methods.
I'll give you three days.
I'm sorry, sir.
I heard from Ms. Jang's driver.
Ms. Yoon Ji Su went to your house this morning.
What about?
That she'll sue for Choi Sun Hee's termination...
and that she'll go on TV and expose them herself.
The person you have reached...
I don't think she's in.
Do you know the hospital where Choi Sun Hee is?
Okay. I'll look into it.
Sir.
I've found that prosecutor you asked about.
You did? Where is he?
He has a lawyer's office in Incheon.
The documents the chief prosecutor gave me...
are all true.
I see.
Hold on.
Your father's case...
was one of the most painful memories...
of all the cases I prosecuted.
The documents that your father brought in...
clearly proved Hyungsung's management's guilt.
So the start of the investigation was easy.
But as the investigation went further and further,
I got more calls...
and I got called into many people's offices.
They're all different,
but they all want the same thing.
Close out the investigation soon,
and remove all references to Hyungsung and Chairman Jang.
There was one thing...
I felt bottled up inside while I was a prosecutor.
"Even if you can't protect justice, do not make compromises."
That's why I am where I am.
Anyway,
I started an internal investigation...
on everyone who gave me the orders during that time.
I wondered...
why those people were protecting Chairman Jang.
But what I realized was this.
They were entangled...
with Chairman Jang in the middle.
I kept digging and digging, but couldn't find the answer.
The result of the internal investigation...
is right here.
As soon as I brought this...
to Yoon Hyung Goo, the chief prosecutor...
Well, I realized my career as a prosecutor was over.
It's belated,
but you'll be able...
to protect justice soon.
I will do what I believe is right,
and I'll take sides with the people...
whom no one will stand with.
Just as we fell in love again,
I wish you'd return to being how you were then.
Why? Why? Why here again? You're making me nervous.
I don't see the chicken gizzards.
What's this? Why are you smiling? What are you easing me into?
Is it shocking?
Fine. Let me take something for my nerves.
I plan to go back.
Where to?
To where I used to be.
Eat and study, okay?
Aren't you tired? You even go over and cook for them.
Wouldn't it have been less painful and lonely...
if at least one person had helped and taken your side...
when you were being bullied in school?
See you later.
I need to talk to you. I really hope you'll come.
It's important.
I'll meet you at 9pm at the tent bar we went to.
Bring this to Director Jung Yoon Ki...
and then go home.
But... What should I say as I hand it over?
Say it's the second Pandora's box, and he'll understand.
Okay.
Hello.
What flower would you like?
I'd like some roses...
(August 1994)
You guys actually fight at times?
Why did you fight?
He is like that ever since the volunteer labor thing.
He keeps treating me like a child.
He won't let me do anything too strenuous.
He keeps being extra nice to me, so I feel bad.
You're so annoying. Seriously.
He's beeping me.
I'm in front of your house. I'll wait until you come out.
Made you laugh.
What is all of this?
I heard giving you red and white roses together...
means I want to make up.
Who told you that?
Dong Jin.
Fighting is too hard.
For me too.
Let's not fight.
If we feel like we're going to fight,
let's raise our right hand.
If the other person raises his or her right hand,
it means he or she is upset,
and that we should stop before we fight again.
Like this?
You can go.
It's okay.
I...
want to watch my drama. I prefer to watch alone.
I'm really okay.
Are you my husband or child?
Why are you always here? You're so annoying.
It's my fault you're here like this.
How is my being sick your fault?
I'm really okay today.
I mean it.
I'm okay.
Gosh.
Hello.
- Yes, hello. - I'm the father...
of Kwon Hyuk Soo who died wrongfully because of you.
- Sir... - Why?
No!
Ji Su...
(When My Love Blooms)
I have over 100 reasons...
why you have to wake up.
The world will be a good place...
if there are a lot of people like you.
Don't let anyone in if they're not family.
This is a great opportunity for us.
You can't do this even to a real hunting dog.
I can get on my knees too.
I'm begging you. Please give up on him.
