Flames Of Ambition

Final Episode 50

He just fell asleep.

What happened between you two?

Why do you keep asking that?

Before the doctors arrived, I helped Dad to his room.

He was fine until then.

He kept calling your father's name, saying "Sanghoon, Sanghoon..."

You know they were close friends.

But he also said your name.

Did you really, Father?

Were you really looking for me and my father?

His hands were so big.

Big enough to cover the whole world.

I was so curious, I still tried to see between his fingers.

Dad... I respected the chairman.

I respected him just as much as I hated you for mistreating Mom.

You remember, right?

When he took Youngmin to our house with that jeep.

Right as you were hanging from his lips, the chairman looked like a god.

As if a gigantic mountain was standing before me, taking my breath away.

I wished that he could be my father.

Think how nice it would have been, if instead of a kind but inept man like you,

my father was a rich and powerful man like him?

If you haven't written Youngmin's name on that testament, you must wake up.

You first must write his name before you go.

And give me all the power and riches you amassed over the years.

Only then will you have settled that debt.

Because you're responsible for creating that monster called Yoon Nayoung.

Minjae.

What are you thinking about?

What I'm going to do from now on.

I don't know what kind of path I should follow.

Being young... Minjae.

It means that even if you take the wrong path, you can still start anew.

I've spent all these years trying to fulfill my ambition.

That of beating my brothers, gaining my father's confidence....

and succeeding him as owner of Atlantic Group.

All you and your mother have been to me were sidekicks.

Minjae... You're still young.

You still have the chance to go back and take the right path.

But I'm not suggesting that you lived in vain all these years.

Baek Ingi.... Sure, you don't need to give up on her.

Just as your mother says, if we break up you could easily get together.

If you're prepared to go through that for her sake, I'll respect your decision.

But will that really be the right path for you?

If you really love Ingi, you must let go of her.

And it's not because she's your mother's daughter.

It's because the love you can give her will never compare with the suffering that awaits her.

Would subjecting someone you love to that kind of torture be the right thing to do?

And you...

Do you love Mom?

You have no right to tell me that.

Yeah.

Father.

I'm here, Father.

Sanghoon...

Yes... Speak to me, Father.

Father.

Open your eyes, Father.

Whose name did you write on that testament?

Is it Kim Youngjun?

Or Kim Youngmin?

Yes, Father.

I saw your father...

Minjae's father has always been your favorite. Isn't that right, Father?

You wrote his name, right?

Father.

Father!

Tell me!

Someone come here! Something's wrong with Father!

Anyone!

Is he all right?

Where have you been all morning?

I got nostalgic, so I took a walk around.

Changed a lot, didn't it?

The only thing that didn't is the sea.

Who's that? Someone you know?

Give me a minute.

- What brings you here? - I've heard Chairman Kim collapsed.

I've had a few business dealings with them so I came down.

And how did you find me?

That, you know... What's her name, Jinsuk?

She told me.

So I thought I'd pay you a little visit while I was here.

Right... Shall we go have a word somewhere?

Do it here.

Not really in the mood for staring at you too long.

Ahh... Always so grumpy. As if you weren't Yoon Nayoung's daughter...

Go ahead.

Want to come again when you've found your tongue?

Ingi.

Yes?

So I hear you won't be able to shoot that film?

Yoon Nayoung... No.

Your mother lost everything she had and is about to be kicked out.

- Really? - Yeah... It's really sad.

You're telling me there was a little compassion left in you?

Why do you keep trying to rile me up? I try to do something nice for a change...

What's so funny?

- You can be cute, sometimes. - Just like her mother, dammit!

How are you going to help me?

I'll foot the bill for that film.

I'm not just giving it to you, it's an investment.

Actually, I talked with my wife about it.

I went... "Hey, if I happened to have a child before I married you and brought her in..."

Ingi, at least let me finish!

Our ties end here, Ajeosshi.

It's for your own good.

If I start pestering you, every last bit of affection you had left will vanish.

Take care.

Forget it, then!

Who was that?

By any chance, was that your father?

Just a fan.

He asked for an autograph.

Where are you going?

I saw you just as I wished, so now it's time to go back.

Your mother is still in Ulsan...

Would she be in the mood for meeting me?

She must have already forgotten me by now.

Sir.

What's with that necktie? Told you to dress properly...

You still haven't given up?

Have you seen anyone who knows whose name is on that testament?

It won't be Dad's.

Just mind your business and stand by your father's side.

- Director Choi, been a while. - Yes.

Long....

Long time no see, Director Jung...

Yes, Chairman.

I'll be damned. Chairman, my ass...

I'm a doormat with yellow ribbons on it.

You'll be elected chairman for sure.

And who knows that?

We'll have to see what the mighty testament says!

Must he really reveal that testament today?

Dad asked him, what else can he do?

- If anything happens to Dad, there is no... - We'll be embarrassed in front of the whole board!

But if we remain without a chairman for long, it's only going to make more noise.

Let's go, it's time.

It's what Dad wants. To leave the group to you.

- Do you mean that, Mister Hong? - Yes, Ma'am.

Is it really him?

I personally saw his name on that testament.

Thank you, Father.

He wrote your name on his testament.

Mother.

Thank you for taking care of the chairman all night.

Please, have a seat.

- She gets all the spotlight again. - Mom.

I told you to go sit next to your father.

Testaments usually refer to a will left by the deceased,

but the chairman ordered that, should he find himself incapacitated,

we should waste no time and reveal his testament, proclaiming his successor.

I will therefore reveal his testament before his family and the board of executives.

I will now break the seal the chairman personally made.

How about this? Since it's the chairman's will, shouldn't someone from his family reveal it?

If there are no objections, I'd like to ask our Vice-chairman Kim Youngmin to do it.

- Got the chance to say his own name?! - Guess it's what Father wanted.

Screw you and this pathetic farce.

Eonni.... Congratulations.

- I hereby appoint my third-born Kim Youngmin as my successor -

Let's hear it... We don't have all day.

Father chose his successor.

Third-born Kim Youngmin -

Kim Youngjun.

Eonni!

Youngjun Oppa did it!

Dad proclaimed Youngjun Oppa as his heir.

What did you say?

- Director Shin. - My congratulations.

- Director Son. - Honey!!

Honey. I knew it! Father would never forsake you.

Congratulations.

Brilliant... Wow! Now this is fun.

Honey. Where are you?

What did you just do? Honey!

It said Kim Youngmin, didn't it?

Mister Hong confirmed it to me a countless times, saying your name was on it.

He said he saw Father write your name firsthand.

Just accept it. His testament has turned to ashes now.

- I can just go ask Mister Hong. - You really think he'll tell you the truth?

He was probably the first one to run to the new chairman and flatter him?!

- Aeri, congrats. - Thank you...

Now you need to take good care of me.

Mother... I'm so grateful.

It's all thanks to you.

Thank you so much.

Why did you do that?

It was the dream of a lifetime for you.

So... why... Why did you ruin everything at the last moment?

Let's at least hear why.

- It was for your sake. - For what?!

Because I didn't want to lose you.

- To the chairman! - To the chairman!

Come with me.

Was this your answer?

Using your son to settle this on your behalf.

Is that how you wanted to deal with it?
