Initial BP: 100 over 80.

It's now 80 over 56 and trending downward.

[groaning]

-Mr. Ma, there you are!
-[grunts]

-[Ko] Hey! Whoa! Don't move!
-[Hyeong-min] Whoa! Mr. Ma!

-Mr. Ma!
-Are you okay?

-Mr. Ma!
-[doctor] Is he okay?

-Can you help him?
-[Ko] We don't know, sir. What's going on?

-[Hyeong-min] Are you okay, Mr. Ma?
-[Ko] g*ng-uk!

-What's happening?
-[groaning]

[monitor alarms beeping]

[surgeon] I need more suction.

[suction tube gurgling]

More suction. How is her blood pressure?

EPISODE 12

-[sighs] You must've been scared.
-Yeah.

The good news is, the issue
isn't with the transplanted heart.

It's much simpler than that.

He had a hyperventilation episode
triggered by sudden stress.

[all sigh]

Oh, thank goodness, I'm so relieved.

But keep in mind, there's a risk
he could develop an arrhythmia

if he hyperventilates again.

Please make sure he gets enough rest.

-All right, got it.
-Yes. Thank you so much.

-We appreciate it.
-Bye now.

That's good.

[all breathing heavily]

Oh, Mrs. Pang, that's a relief, right?

He's okay.

[sighs]

[gasps] g*ng-uk.

-Oh.
-You're awake.

[g*ng-uk groaning]

-No, wait, wait, wait, hold on a minute.
-Hold on.

-Oh!
-[g*ng-uk exhales]

Yeo-ri… W-Where's Yeo-ri?

Um…

-Wait, what are you doing? Don't--
-[Hyeong-min] Mr. Ma.

-g*ng-uk.
-[Hyeong-min] Wait, you can't.

-[Madam Pang] What are you--
-[Hyeong-min] Mr. Ma!

[monitors beeping]

[g*ng-uk sighs]

You should prepare
for the worst, I'm afraid.

[somber music playing]

[Yeo-ri] g*ng-uk!

[exhales]

[Ha-ri] What if Yeo-ri never wakes up?

This makes me sad.

Life can really change
in the blink of an eye.

To think she was so confident at
the shareholders' meeting the other day…

This is crazy.

By the way,

we shouldn't go and visit her, should we?

Not with the whole succession battle
going on. It's too risky.

We should lie low. Keep a low profile.

[sighs]

KOREA BARUM MEDICAL CENTER

It's all my fault.

If it weren't for me, she…

Come on. Don't say that.

Try not to worry too much.
I'm sure Yeo-ri will come around soon.

Listen, you should go home for now.

-Get some rest. Okay?
-Yeah.

If you wanna be there for Yeo-ri,
then take care of yourself first.

The doctor said you could develop
an arrhythmia if you hyperventilate again.

That's right. Um, it can be fatal
for transplant patients, actually.

[sighs] Your grandma's worried.

She must've been really shaken up.

Thanks for coming. I'll see you guys soon.

Hey, uh,
try to take care of yourself, man.

g*ng-uk's fine. Nothing to worry about.

The doctor said it wasn't a problem
with his transplanted heart.

It's a relief, really.

That heart is far too precious.

We can't let anything happen to it,
not after what Ji-hwan did.

Yes. Well, I don't think
you need to worry.

Yes, I'll keep you updated.

Have a good evening, Mrs. Song.

Bye.

Grandma.

Oh, g*ng-uk.

The person who donated their heart to me

was Ji-hwan? He was the donor?

Uh…

-Uh-huh.
-And when you said, "Mrs. Song"…

is that the woman we had lunch with?

Well, I guess
there's no point in hiding it

now that it's come to this.

Yes, she's the one we had lunch with.

And the truth is,

that woman's son was the person
who donated his heart to you back then.

[sighs]

So the person you've been praying for
all these years is also…

Ji-hwan, that's right. Her son.

You've heard of CL Group, right?

Mrs. Song is the group's vice president.

Ji-hwan is her second son, apparently.

You said CL Group? Wait.

So Kang Min-hwan is his brother…

[Yeo-ri] When I was in college,
I was on a yacht and nearly drowned.

If this pendant is responsible
for changing my fate,

then it really was my fault
that Ji-hwan died.

Since it was a present for you,

then I think that it should be yours.

-[monitors beeping]
-[respirator hissing]

[gentle, ethereal music playing]

Jang Eun-ju?

[Eun-ju]
Can you please help me get him back?

[Yeo-ri]
Have a safe journey. To a better place.

I'm finally here to see you.

Forgive me for taking so long to come.

THE LATE KANG JI-HWAN

Every morning ever since the surgery,

I remind myself to live in a way that

would honor the person
who gave me their heart.

I came here because

I wanted to return this pendant.

I heard it belonged to you.

And also,

I wanted to thank you

for the time you gave Yeo-ri.

And I'm grateful

because you saved me.

Thank you, and I'm so sorry.

But now I'm scared
that Yeo-ri might not make it.

I tried to think of something
I could do to help her.

I feel completely powerless right now.

And then the pendant came to mind, so…

I thought if I returned it
to its rightful owner,

maybe Yeo-ri would come back.

That glimmer hope is what led me here.

Please, I'm begging you.

Help Yeo-ri come back to me.

Please.

-[chimes tinkling]
-Please.

[ominous music playing]

[music intensifies]

[alarms blaring]

Prepare for intubation.

Ji-hwan.

[grunts] Wait.

[beeping normalizes]

[sighs] Heart rhythm's back.

[g*ng-uk] Thank you.

Thank you.

Ji-hwan.

So we meet again.

[melancholy music playing]

I got to live…

instead of you.

I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry, Ji-hwan.

Don't be. Remember what I said?

I wanted you to live.

It's not on you.

So I guess now
it's finally time for me to return

to where I'm meant to be, isn't it?

Yeo-ri.

You're not getting on that boat.

All these people came here…

to repay the kindness you showed them.

The warmth of your helping hand.

Their warmth

is what protected you from crossing over.

And most importantly…

the warmth of the people who'll
never let go of your hand, no matter what.

Who are desperately hoping
you'll come back to them.

They're giving you their warmth right now.

Go back, Yeo-ri.

Well…

what about you?

This time,

you go, I stay.

You've been through so much

because of me, Yeo-ri.

I'll go back to where I belong as well.

Thank you so much.

Thank you so much, Ji-hwan.

Thank you.

Thank you so much.

[g*ng-uk gasps]

[stammering] Yeo-ri?

[gentle music playing]

[Madam Pang] Oh!

[stammering] You really came back to us.

[Baek gasping]

[laughs]

How's Ms. Cheon holding up?

They say she's been in a coma for a week.

Prosecutor Ma g*ng-uk
hasn't left her bedside.

-Any news from the police?
-They checked the CCTV footage,

and they think
it's a case of driver error.

So there haven't been
any new developments.

As for the memorial,
make sure you're thorough.

Check the VIP routes.

We need this to go smoothly.

The final inspection…

will be my responsibility.

Copy that.

-[door opens]
-[sighs]

[door closes]

-Thanks, I appreciate it.
-[g*ng-uk] Thank you.

[grunts] g*ng-uk, can you…

-Hey.
-[groans]

Hey, you should get some more rest.

It's okay. I'm good.

Apparently, I'm supposed to move around.
It'll help me recover faster.

[scoffs]

I, uh-- I have a question, actually.

When you saved me from that truck…

How did you find out where I was, Yeo-ri?

It was Ji-hwan.

I saw him after the accident, too.

He's the reason I'm conscious right now.

Oh…

Interesting.

I stopped by Ji-hwan's grave.

I discovered something
about my heart transplant.

Ji-hwan was the donor.

I found out by chance
while you were in a coma.

So Ji-hwan…

saved you too.

He saved both of us, didn't he?

I gave him back the pendant.

I felt like I had to do something for you.

It's the only thing I could think of.

So I thought if I returned the pendant,

maybe it would help bring you back.

So that's why I was able to come back.

Thank you so much.

I'm so glad you're awake right now.

All I need is to have you by my side,
nothing more.

It's all I could possibly ask for.

[chuckles]

[sniffles]

Oh, no, no, no need to get up.
Stay put. It's all right.

Oh, my. It's okay.

-Mm-hmm.
-[Baek] Look at you.

We spoke with Dr. Han.

You're really bouncing back, he says.

-[chuckles]
-Oh, I'm so glad.

Um…

Yeo-ri, listen.

Yes?

You put your own life on the line
to save g*ng-uk. I feel awful.

I don't know what to say. I'm sorry.

Don't worry about it.

What matters more than superstition

is a person's true feelings.

After all these years,
I still didn't know that.

I am truly and deeply sorry, Yeo-ri.

It's okay, Mrs. Pang.

All I want now
is for you two to be happy together.

Nothing else.

I mean it.

-I really do.
-Great.

So delete that shaman's number, will you?

-[all laughing]
-Absolutely, I'll delete his number.

[Baek] When Dr. Han told me you woke up,

he said you wanted
to keep it a secret. But why?

Uh, I don't know,
something about this feels off.

There's something I wanna look into.

I think we should have

Executive Director Lee serve
as acting CEO for now.

Trust me on this one.

-Looks like it's bad.
-[gasps] Oh, my gosh!

-Mom!
-My goodness, Ha-ri.

What the heck are you doing here?

-What are you doing here?
-Oh, my gosh.

Hey, you told me you were busy,
didn't you?

I can't believe
you two betrayed me like this.

-[Ha-ri scoffs]
-What? What's this about?

Huh? I thought we were lying low.

You're not above us.
You said we shouldn't see her, didn't you?

Hey, I couldn't ignore her.

I mean, she's not okay.
She's suffering here.

I couldn't pretend I didn't know.
My heart, um--

My heart brought me here. You know?

It just felt wrong.

-[scoffs]
-Yeah.

I can't stand her but I care about her.

-We are family, aren't we? Huh?
-Mm-hmm.

Also, at the end of the day,
I'm a parent too.

So I feel for Mrs. Baek, too. Uh-huh.

Okay. Since we're all here,
let's go in at the same time.

Mom, you go first.

-[Ha-ri] Yeah.
-Oh, I…

[all gasping]

[whispering] It's all right.

-[footsteps approaching]
-It's all right, it's all right.

-Is she gone? Is she gone?
-[normal] Why are we even hiding?

-We're just here to visit her.
-[shushing] Shut up, be quiet.

-Oh, my God, dang it.
-The thing is,

the moment I saw her face,

I remembered the shareholders' meeting,

and then I-- well, I got a little jumpy.

All the more reason
to get her to notice us, right?

[scoffs] Why did we even hide?
We missed a great chance.

You were the first one to hide, Dong-jun.

-I was just--
-He just-- He takes after me, come on.

He's got great reflexes, that's all.

Yeah, come on, I don't know,
I guess I just felt jumpy too or whatever.

-Are we-- Are we going in or not?
-Wait.

Let me think here for a minute.

Just calm down for a second, okay?

[g*ng-uk] What about the driver
who caused the accident?

[Ko] They say
he just fell asleep at the wheel.

Pil-dong, no way that's what happened.

I agree.

I saw the report, and there weren't
any skid marks. Not a single one. See?

None.

And they haven't found my bag, right?

They haven't.
The footage is missing, which is weird.

They are looking into it, but…
You think someone took it?

There was a cufflink in my bag that day.

Someone might've caused
the accident on purpose to steal it.

So the person who k*lled Park Seung-jae
was the driver in this car crash?

-Is that it?
-Not the driver.

They got someone else to do it.
They just gave the order.

[phone buzzing]

Hmm. Hey, Yeo-ri.

[sighs]

I'd feel better if you stayed
in the hospital a little longer.

-Are you sure you'll be okay?
-Mm-hmm.

[sighs] It's weird.

I was really close
to never coming back home.

It feels surreal.

Careful, careful.

[grunts]

[chuckles] Don't worry, I'm really okay.

[sighs]

So, how is it now?

Hmm?

Are you free from the ghosts?

What about you?
You were holding my hand for so long.

I don't see them at all.

So I guess…

that's it.
We're both in the clear, finally.

That's such a relief, right?

I'm dying to have some coffee.
I haven't had any in so long.

Ah, can't do that, Yeo-ri.

Sorry, the doctor said
no caffeine for a while.

Have some tea instead.

[grunts]

Ah, whoever did this,
if I ever catch them, I swear…

It wasn't a simple accident, was it?

No. I believe the same person
who k*lled Park Seung-jae

is somehow involved in this accident, too.

My guess is Park Seung-jae tried
to blackmail them, only to end up k*lled.

The timing's a little weird, isn't it?

Why blackmail them now, after so long?

The accident was 12 years ago.

He couldn't have found something new
while out on temporary leave, could he?

I looked into where Park Seung-jae went,

and looks like he spent
some time in his childhood home.

Park Jin-dong was the only one
living there before he died,

so the place was basically empty.

Did the cops go take a look?

They already did a preliminary search.
Nothing suspicious was found.

Yeo-ri, try not to worry about it for now.
I'll take care of this, okay?

Right now, please get better.

I'm worried about you.

So, please be careful.

Whoever's responsible is still out there.

Sure.

[Oh] All that's left is the memorial rites
setup. Then we'll be all set.

Okay.

Hi, Min-hwan.

Mom, hi.

With everything on your plate,
you're handling the memorial too?

Come on, don't say that.
This comes before anything else.

Anything for my little brother, right?

That's nice. I'm sure our Ji-hwan
is feeling at peace right now,

wherever he is.

You've always been nice to him.
Such a caring older brother.

[both chuckle]

-Shall we walk?
-Yes.

By the way,

I'm worried about Cheon Yeo-ri.

I hope Mrs. Baek can handle all this.

It's a lot to take in at her age.

How about you?
Have you visited Yeo-ri yet?

Well, no. I couldn't bring myself to go.

[sighs]

That's okay, I get it. It's not easy.

You must be struggling.

[phone buzzing]

Oh, one second.

Hello, Mrs. Pang.

Really? Oh.

Uh… Is that so?

Yes.

Don't mix these up like this, Hyeong-min.
Now I have to reorganize everything.

Um, so just reorganize them.

-You're getting c*ck, huh?
-[laughing]

-[blows]
-That one goes here.

[sniffles]

Huh?

[chuckles] Hey, I thought
you said you wanted me to go.

Team dinner tonight, how's that?
Hanwoo, my treat.

-Are you in?
-Oh, he said hanwoo!

Pil-dong, we're having hanwoo!

-Did you hear what he said? Huh?
-[sniffles]

Hanwoo.

[laughing] What's up with you?

Come on, it's not like
Mr. Ma's leaving for good.

He'll be back before we know it.

Just think of this as
a business trip, will you?

Pil-dong, if you keep this up,
we're having pork rind.

So, pork rind it is then.
You're downgraded.

Fine. Hanwoo. You said hanwoo.

-Hanwoo. He wants hanwoo, okay?
-[chuckles]

-Okay, come on, let's go. Get up, get up.
-All right, let's do this. I'm hungry.

-Yeah?
-All right! We're having hanwoo, guys!

[sighs]

[Yeo-ri] What do you have to tell me
about the accident?

[Seung-jae] It's a little early
as I've got one big move left to try.

If that doesn't work out,
I'll call you right away.

[Yeo-ri] Park Seung-jae.

I looked into where Park Seung-jae went,

and it looks like he spent some time
in his childhood home.

[g*ng-uk] Whoa, that one's not fully
cooked yet. Have this one. There you go.

[laughing]

You were crying a second ago.
How about that?

I'm still sad. But I'm thrilled.

-Of course you are!
-[all laughing]

No more tears, Pil-dong.

All right, cheers, guys. Enough crying.

[all] Cheers.

-Oh, yeah, by the way…
-[g*ng-uk] Mm-hmm?

How's Yeo-ri holding up?
Uh, is she doing better now?

Of course. [sighs]

I wish she was here. I miss her so much.

Why not give her a call?

-Should I?
-[Ko] Yeah.

Ah. I've always wanted to make
an "I'm out drinking with the boys" call.

[beeps]

-Mm.
-[line ringing]

-[Yeo-ri] Hi, g*ng-uk.
-Hi Yeo-ri. You're resting, aren't you?

I am, sure. [chuckles]

Resting a whole lot.

You need to take it easy, all right?

[car horn blares]

Huh? What was that?

-What?
-Are you outside?

-Oh. Uh, no, I just--
-[horn blares]

I stepped outside for a walk, actually.

That's why, um,
you heard some cars going by.

Huh. Weird. Your neighborhood's
always so quiet, isn't it?

Yeah, I know.

-What a weirdo. Definitely not from here.
-[GPS chimes]

[automated voice] In 300 feet, turn right.

-I can hear the GPS, though.
-That's not the GPS, no.

That's just-- That's the TV.

But you were on a walk just now.

Right. I just got home, so…

I guess I must've left the TV on.

Hmm. Yeo-ri,
you really can't push yourself.

Not while you're still recovering,
all right? Just stick to your walks.

-What's wrong with him?
-He's so extra.

I'll handle everything else for you,
even the fish food.

Thank you. You take care too, okay?

Yeah.

[chuckles awkwardly]

-Yeo-ri's really worried about me I guess.
-Right, yeah, sure sounds like she is.

-Is she, really?
-Anyway.

Cheers.

Uh…

-[clears throat] Pil-dong.
-Mm-hmm?

If you find even the smallest clue
about Yeo-ri's case, let me know.

I wish I could be on top of this,
but I'll be too far away.

I get it. It's weird. It feels like
the investigation has hit a wall, hmm?

I've been knocking on doors,
but so far, nothing's come up.

The Park Seung-jae thing
got a lot of attention.

You know, people are saying
some heavy stuff.

"Good thing he's dead."

"Scumbag had it coming."

That sort of thing.

All right, I'll tell you what.

Let's have one last shot, okay?

And call it a night.

-Ah. Okay, sure.
-Yeo-ri's worried sick, the poor thing.

You heard the guy, right?

Let's call it a night.
Let's do it for her.

-For sure, yeah.
-Mm-hmm. All right.

And besides,
you still have to pack and stuff, so yeah.

-Mm-hmm.
-Here.

-Okay.
-So we're calling it a night.

[Ko] Not you, you're staying.

-We're doing another round. Obviously.
-Hmm?

-Awesome.
-I can't. I have to go home early tonight.

All right, I'll stay. Don't start crying.

I'm sure Seung-jae
found something. What was it?

Park Seung-jae's camcorder?

[door lock beeping]

[gasps]

-Who's there?
-Whoa!

[both panting]

-g*ng-uk?
-Yeo-ri, what are you doing here?

[stammering] What are you doing here?

-[knock on door]
-[door opens]

Mr. Kang,
the service rehearsals are complete.

Everything went smoothly.

Once I become chairman,

I'll restructure the Planning Office.

I'm gonna transfer you there,

and put you in charge
of the whole department.

Thank you so much.

Thank you for all your hard work.

My pleasure, Mr. Kang.

-[Min-hwan] Thank you so much for coming.
-[attendee] Oh, of course. I had to come.

[Min-hwan] I know how busy you've been,

but you still found the time
to come again this year.

-Ji-hwan would be so happy.
-Min-hwan, hi. [chuckles]

-Ah, excuse me for a moment.
-Yes, of course.

-Thanks. Thank you for coming.
-Sure. [chuckles]

Listen…

I heard you've got
a big announcement today.

Congrats in advance, Min-hwan.

I'll see you after the service.

-Thanks.
-[Gye-hui] Mm-hmm. See you. [chuckles]

You know what?

He's really looking
the part today, isn't he?

He's got a whole new presence about him.
I guess the title suits him.

-Right?
-[both chuckle]

-Well… Let's go this way.
-Mm-hmm.

[Gye-hui] Hi!

[chuckles] Wow.

Good to see you.
It's been a while, Mrs. Song.

[chuckles]

Well, actually, Kang Min-hwan
talks about you all the time,

so it's almost like
you've never been far away.

It's good to see you.
I'm glad you could make it.

Thanks. [chuckles]

Ah. You've met Ha-ri, right?

Nice to meet you, Mrs. Song.

You too, Ha-ri.

[chuckles]

[Oh] We will now begin
the 12th anniversary memorial service

for the late Kang Ji-hwan.

[Min-hwan] We are gathered here today

to honor the memory
of my younger brother Kang Ji-hwan,

who left us so suddenly 12 years ago.

I still find it difficult to accept
that Ji-hwan is no longer with us,

no matter how much time passes.

Not only was he my younger brother,

he was someone I could lean on.

He was my best friend

and always my greatest source of strength.

Just being around him
was enough to bring me comfort.

The cherished memories we have of Ji-hwan

and the love he gave us

will forever remain alive

in our hearts and our minds.

My dear Ji-hwan,

I love you.

And of course…

I love you, Mom.

THE LATE KANG JI-HWAN'S


[siren wailing]

-Can we pick up the pace?
-[officer] Yes, sir.

[phone buzzing]

Okay, I hear you.

I'm heading inside now.

-Who's there?
-Whoa!

[both panting]

g*ng-uk?

Yeo-ri, what are you doing here?

[stammering] What are you doing here?

Hmm?

Excuse me. What-- What's going on?

We have a search and seizure warrant

related to Kang Ji-hwan's death


[Hui-won sniffles]

Good morning.
Thank you all so much for being here.

I wanted to personally welcome all of you
who took the time to be here today.

Unfortunately I wasn't able to,

and I apologize.

I'll always remember the love
and the words of comfort

you've shared with us over the years.

[sniffles]

Standing before all of you

who have always been like family to us,

I would like to share a major decision
concerning the future of CL,

on behalf of our chairman,

who is currently overseas receiving
medical care, as I'm sure you know.

For the next chapter
of our group's history,

we need fresh leadership

and a bold new vision
to reach new heights.

For that reason,

after careful consideration by our family

and CL Group's board of directors…

[Yeo-ri] Sorry to interrupt.

Before that, there's something
you should see, ma'am.

-Oh!
-Yeo-ri, thought you were in the hospital.

[gasps] Oh, my gosh. I thought she was
in a coma. What's she doing here?

[gasps]

I found something Ji-hwan left for us.

A final message before he passed.

It's a video.

Would you like to see it?

-[guests murmuring]
-Is that true? Ji-hwan's in it?

Ms. Cheon, what do you think you're doing?

Min-hwan. Play it.

-[Ji-hwan panting]
-[Min-hwan] Ji-hwan!

[Ji-hwan] Hyung! Hyung, save me!

[whimpering] Hyung…

Hyung. Hyung,
what's gotten into you? Hyung!

-Oh!
-[guests murmuring]

Hyung, hyung,
don't let go of my hand, okay?

-Hyung, no, no, don't! No!
-[splash]

[all gasping, clamoring]

[Hui-won] Mr. Oh.

[Oh] Yes, Mrs. Song.

[Hui-won] Please make sure every guest
is properly assisted on their way out.

Thank you.

[Oh] Yes, ma'am.

The memorial service is over.
Thank you for understanding.

We will escort you out, this way please.

Please exit through the rear door.

-This way, please.
-Um, ma'am.

Min-hwan!

I can't believe my eyes, Min-hwan.

Wait.

It's not what you think.

Ms. Cheon, tell me. That footage…

where did you get it?

Park Seung-jae had a camcorder with him
that day. The footage was on it.

I'm sorry, ma'am.
I didn't mean to cause you more pain.

You don't buy that crap, do you?

Consider yourself suspended until we check
whether the video's real.

Mom, really?

Don't tell me you believe
Cheon Yeo-ri's word over mine?

That video could be fabricated
for all we know.

I'm not saying it's real.

I said we'll be checking if it's real.

So you don't--

You don't believe me, I know you don't.

You never have, since I was a kid.

But you always believed
what Ji-hwan said, didn't you?

Not me, not even once.

Why was I never enough for you to trust?

Min-hwan.

You know what? I'm gonna prove it to you.

Hey, it's me.

Call Mr. Park right now and tell him
to put the firm's best lawyers on this.

I'm going to sue them for defamation
and every other offense I can find.

Kang Min-hwan.

Is that the best you can do?

How could you?

Why did you do that?

I really don't get it.

How could you do that to Ji-hwan?

[exhales]

Ji-hwan this, Ji-hwan that.

Do you have any idea
what I've had to endure?

People like you could never understand

what it's like to live
in someone else's shadow.

You've had everything
handed to you from birth.

I've lived my entire life
being pushed aside.

Always playing catch-up,
always coming in second!

So I decided to take back what was mine.

CL Group, my mother…

and even you.

And now you, of all people,

want to ruin everything I've worked for?

I won't have it.

No way, I won't give up that easily.

[scoffs]

That's your reason?

That's why you let Ji-hwan die,

why you k*lled Park Seung-jae,

and why you caused that accident?

How could you possibly think that
justifies all the awful things you did?

How could you do that?

You only think about yourself.

What about Ji-hwan?

What about the one person who trusted you?

Didn't that…

Didn't that mean anything to you?

Is that what Ji-hwan said?

Is Ji-hwan here right now?

Kang Ji-hwan!

What did I do that was so wrong?

Do you know what I had to go through
because of you,

how much I was treated like I was nothing?

Do you?

[sirens wailing]

Kang Min-hwan,

we're placing you under arrest
for the m*rder of Park Seung-jae.

Come on.

What do you people think you're doing?

Well, isn't it obvious?

We're on official duty.

While you were busy acting
like you care in there,

we found all the evidence.

[detective 1] Mr. Ma.

Take him away.

[detective 2]
You have the right to remain silent.

Anything you say can and will be used
against you in a court of law.

-What are you doing? Let me go!
-You have the right to an attorney.

-If you--
-Let me go!

-[grunting]
-Let's go, move it.

Hey, Ma g*ng-uk.
I won't let you get away with this.

You got that?

[grunts] Get your hands off of me!

[shouts]

Ma g*ng-uk!

-You're not getting away with this!
-[breathing heavily]

-[Min-hwan] Let me go! Hey!
-Are you okay?

-[Min-hwan] Get your filthy hands off me!
-[car door closes]

[Min-hwan shouts]

[newscaster] Breaking news.

CL Group CEO Kang Min-hwan
has just been arrested

as a suspect in the m*rder
of retired pro golfer Park Seung-jae,

the son of the late
Assemblyman Park Jin-dong.

[reporters clamoring]

[newscaster] Speculation continues to grow

over the motive and circumstances
surrounding the m*rder,

-while CL Group has yet to release…
-Whoa.

…an official statement.

-Wow.
-[sighs]

[Gye-hui] What do you think you're doing?

Director Ok Gye-hui?

-That's right. What's going on?
-I'm Prosecutor Im Seo-hyeon.

This is a search and seizure warrant.

You got Chief Prosecutor Ok Gye-dong
to slow us down, but we finally made it.

I think Cheon Dong-jun's office
is being searched right now too.

Even Dong-jun? Mom, what do we do?

Hold on, wait a minute, folks.

Listen to me.

Did the District Chief Prosecutor Min
sign off on this?

Huh? 'Cause I hope you're ready
to deal with the fallout.

We wouldn't be here if we couldn't.

-[investigator] Oh, Miss Im?
-[gasps]

No, don't touch that painting!
Don't touch that.

Please don't touch that painting.
Hey, keep your hands off my safe!

Must be something important in there.
Let's start with this.

You listen. If that warrant doesn't cover
my safe, you're in serious trouble.

Huh? Is that clear? You'll pay for this!

-[exhales]
-Why is this so blurry?

Ha-ri! Ha-ri, come on.
Can you bring me my reading glasses?

-Here.
-I can't read this.

If I don't see my safe, you're finished.

Oh, my gosh, what the heck?
It's still blurry.

Why's it so blurry? Huh?

Why's it blurry?

Why's everything blurry?

Oh! Mom!

-[gasps] Mom!
-[body thuds]

Mom! Hey, Mom!

Mom, what's wrong? Mom, wake up.

Mommy! Ha-ri, what do we do?
Call an ambulance! Now!

[sobbing]

1 YEAR LATER

[upbeat music playing]

[Ha-ri sighs]

[grunts]

Hi there, ma'am. So, how can I help you?

-I have a reservation.
-Name on the reservation?

Choi Seo-rin.

"Choi Seo-rin…"

Time for coffee.

Oh, right. You've heard the rumor.
Haven't you?

[Ms. Eom] What rumor? Oh.

You mean the rumor
that you're joining the board?

Ah! So you heard that. [chuckles]

Of course. You started
that rumor yourself, didn't you?

It was all over the group chat.

-Wow. It spread that fast?
-[chuckles]

[sighs] This is driving me crazy.

Why? A promotion's a good thing.

Of course it's a good thing.

This is amazing.

But you know what they say:

"Heavy is the head that wears a crown."

Come on, Ji-su, just think about it.

Huh? Think of all the responsibility,
it's a lot. It's no easy job, you know?

Uh, weird. My shoulders
are feeling stiff already.

Well, just slap on a pain relief patch.

-[chuckles]
-[Ha-ri sighs]

No easy job?
You're preaching to the choir.

Look at me.

Apparently being royalty
doesn't mean much when you lose, right?

I'll have a coffee too, thank you.

-[knocks]
-[Ha-ri yawns]

Excusez-moi? Miss Royalty?

You know, I noticed that the trash can
under the concierge desk

is pretty full right now.

We wouldn't want it to overflow, would we?

Could you empty it when you get a chance?

Or now!

[whimpers]

Fine.

[Ha-ri, Dong-jun gasp]

-[Dong-jun] Oh, Mom.
-Mom!

-Oh, Ha-ri, Dong-jun.
-Aww…

[groans, chuckles]

-Mom.
-Oh, Ha-ri, you poor thing.

Working as a concierge is hard, isn't it?

Mm-hmm. They told me to start
from the bottom, so I'm trying.

But it's been brutal.

Hey, Cheon Ha-ri.

Are you seriously complaining
about your life to Mom right now?

She's locked up in this awful place,

taking the fall for everything,
even for what I did.

And you're on probation.
Don't do anything stupid, okay?

Don't worry, I won't.

As for you, Ha-ri.

Always remember what I said.

Now that it's come to this,

you need to put your ego aside
and learn how things are done.

And also, make sure
Chairwoman Cheon notices you.

She has to see how hard you're working.

-"Chairwoman Cheon"?
-Mm-hmm.

-You're talking about Yeo-ri?
-Sure.

Is there any other chairwoman in our group
with that last name?

Yes, Cheon Yeo-ri,
of course I'm talking about her, Ha-ri.

[scoffs]

Hey, mind how you address her.

It's a habit, so you have to
keep practicing it, even in private.

And that way, you won't slip up.

Mom, what are you talking about?

It's her fault you're stuck in here,
isn't it? I mean,

who cares if we call her
"chairwoman" or not?

We need to look ahead, Dong-jun.

No point in dwelling on the past.

Hey, Reina has dozens of affiliates.

Just think of how busy Chairwoman Cheon
must be, overseeing all of that.

So if you do a good job and find a way
to prove yourself, who knows, Ha-ri?

She could decide to put you
in charge of the hotel.

You-- You really think so?

Don't underestimate family ties.

Think about it, Ha-ri. Why would
Mrs. Baek decide to pick her over us?

At the end of the day,

family ties are what matter.

And they always will.

Wait? Really?

[Gye-hui] Of course.

So Dong-jun,
make sure you behave too, all right?

Loyalty, you know?

Loyalty to Chairwoman Cheon.

[sighs] I got it.

-Loyalty.
-[Gye-hui] Hmm.

-[bicycle bell chimes]
-[g*ng-uk] Yeo-ri!

[upbeat, romantic music playing]

I didn't know you were coming.
What are you doing here, huh?

-g*ng-uk! I missed you. [chuckles]
-I missed you too!

You're not in trouble, are you?

So this is what it feels like.

What?

You're always
the one surprising me like this,

so I thought I'd give it a try too.

Hmm. So, was it worth it?

Hmm…

That's a question for you.

[both laughing]

Yeah, so I was just at
a Reina event in Gyeongju.

I was supposed to head back
as soon as the event ended.

-Uh-huh.
-But I came here instead.

[inhales sharply] Nice.

You and I are more in sync than I thought.
I have something to share, actually.

You do?

I got promoted, Deputy Chief in Seoul.

Really? When do you start?

I got the news today,
so I think ten days from now?

Amazing.

[both chuckle]

Yeah, it's really great,
but seeing you smile like this

-is way better than a promotion, Yeo-ri.
-[chuckles]

When I'm back in Seoul,
can I take you out?

-How about we…
-Hmm?

…go on a date tomorrow to celebrate…

here in Andong?

How does that sound?

Oh, you-- you don't mind?

I've barely been able to spend
any quality time with you.

You know what?

I'm taking the day off tomorrow.

I've been dying to check out
a few different things here in Andong.

But I wanted to do them with you,
so I decided to wait.

-What things?
-Hmm, historic houses,

you know, watching a talchum show,

trying some local food,
watching the sunset with you.

[sighs] I'm so happy just imagining us
doing all that together.

Shall we?

Right now? Oh, okay. Sure. Let's go.

-Let's go. [laughing]
-Okay.

Yeo-ri, wanna try sitting
on the back of the bike?

Ah! [laughing]

-This is fun.
-Yeah? Really?

[Yeo-ri] Yeah. But am I slowing us down?

I hope I'm not too heavy.

[g*ng-uk] Oh, no, not at all.

This thing doesn't have a motor.

[breathing heavily]

Yeo-ri, you're holding on tight, right?

-[Yeo-ri laughing]
-[g*ng-uk] Oh! Uh, careful. Watch out.

CORRECTIONAL SERVICES
ADVANCING ORDER AND HUMAN RIGHTS

[door opens]

Min-hwan, it's been a year.

Why did you keep refusing my visits?

Didn't you miss me at all?

[melancholy music playing]

Because I was scared.

How would my mom look at me
after what I did to Ji-hwan?

I couldn't bring myself to face you.

[grandmother] If disowning Min-hwan
bothers you that much,

just send him away to study abroad
and be rid of him.

I've seen it too many times.

You raise someone, give them everything,

and they turn around
and bite the hand that fed them.

Ji-hwan likes him.
You know how close they are.

Min-hwan takes
such good care of Ji-hwan too.

And Mother,

Min-hwan is part of this family,

whether you like it or not.

Forgive me, please.

Min-hwan.

Look at me.

You want to know what I think?

I think one day,

after you've done your time
and answered for the things you've done,

you'll find yourself all alone out there.

And when you feel like
you have nowhere else to turn,

I'll be there.

And I will give you a place
to call home, sweetheart.

Whenever that day comes.

Hey.

All right, bring it in,
Mr. Deputy Chief Prosecutor of the SDPO.

Nah.

[sighs]

Anyway…

The entire leadership
was replaced, you know?

That's what I've been told.

Did you hear? The Prosecutor General
actually picked you himself.

You'll work directly under him.

He's a wise man, isn't he?

[groans] Man, I'm jealous.

I grab a rope, and it snaps.
I get on a boat, and it just tips over.

I've got the opposite of
the Midas touch, seriously.

You, on the other hand,
barely have to do a thing.

Opportunities just fall into your lap.

Who says I barely have to do a thing,
Sang-h*? I do my job, all right?

By the book.

"By the book."

[g*ng-uk grunts]

-Look who's here, guys!
-[Ko] Oh, yeah. Hey. Long time no see.

-Uh, hello?
-Where did that thing go?

I think I saw it over here.

Why are you guys doing this to me?

We're in the middle
of something important.

-[Hyeong-min] That doesn't matter.
-What? More important than--

-Where did you put it? Is this it?
-[g*ng-uk] Hey!

[both exclaim]

CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR PROMOTION
DEPUTY CHIEF PROSECUTOR

-[Ko laughing]
-[Hyeong-min] Yeah, Mr. Ma!

[all laughing]

[upbeat music playing]

Oh, take it easy, man.

-Hey, you're looking stylish.
-Deputy Chief Prosecutor!

Hey, Hyeong-min,
that hairstyle makes you look older.

Nah, no way, come on.
It's really trendy right now.

-[g*ng-uk] Are you sure?
-Oh, yeah.

You were barely even gone at all, kid.
Couldn't even miss you around here.

-[chuckles] Remember what I told you?
-[g*ng-uk] Mm-hmm.

I said he'd get promoted before
his two years were up. I was right.

-[Ko chuckles]
-Yup.

By the way, we haven't had a team dinner
in so long, I've lost weight.

-Look at his belly.
-You look the same.

What? No I don't. I--

-Maybe I do, okay.
-[all laughing]

No, but seriously, how about a team dinner
to make up for lost time? Cool?

[all] Cool. Cool. Cool.

We'll go, all right?
But first, let's get to work.

-[sighs]
-Okay.

Okay. Yeah. Let's do this, guys.

This is yours.

-[humming]
-All right, let's see here.

Hey, can-- can you help me
get those over there?

One sec, I'll get these
on my desk first, then I'll help you.

[g*ng-uk] No problem.

[sighs]

[Ko] Yep. Looks like this
will take a couple of… years.

-[Hyeong-min laughs]
-[Ko] Look at this.

What are we eating tonight?

I'm thinking tonight's
a three-round kind of night.

The Parent's Day Special
has been a huge hit.

-So everything's running smoothly so far?
-Mm-hmm. Yeah.

We haven't been surprised with anything--

-Oh!
-Oh!

[child] Ouchy.

Oh, my gosh, are you okay?

Oh, no! I'm so sorry!

Shall we get up? One, two! There.

I'm sorry about that.

-Oh, it's all right. Yeah.
-Thank you.

See you, take care. Bye.

Uh, where was I?
Ah, Parent's Day Special, right.

-Mm-hmm. Let's go.
-The Parents' Day Special…

Hello, everyone. Welcome.

INAUGURATION OF REINA GROUP'S CHAIRWOMAN

Reina Group has had quite an eventful
past year or so, hasn't it?

You could say so. [laughing]

Even so,
no matter what challenges came our way,

we never lost our standing as the best.

And now, as we stand on the verge
of our next great transformation,

we need a new leader
to usher in the next chapter.

Someone with the strength of character
and vision to guide us forward.

And for that reason, we have chosen

Cheon Yeo-ri to be
the next acting chairwoman of Reina Group.

Let's give her a round of applause.

[upbeat music playing]

[g*ng-uk] Whoo!

Yeah!

[sighs]

[Yeo-ri]
On the day of our engagement ceremony…

[g*ng-uk] Mm-hmm?

…do you remember asking me
what I wanted to do?

Yeah, of course.

You said that all you wanted to do
was walk beside me, holding my hand.

[chuckles]

I have to say,

I didn't think that day
would ever come, actually.

Looks like our dream came true after all.

And it's wonderful, isn't it?

Absolutely.

Well, in a way,

the simplest things
felt like miracles to us.

Even the little things
everyone else took for granted.

Now here we are.

That miracle is our life now.

So, Yeo-ri,

what miracle should we hope for next?
