(Episode 85)
(Chairman Hwang Gi Chan)
What's going on?
What?
Hong Man Su was caught kidnapping Kang Jae In.
The police are heading to the scene to take him in.
Were you the one who ordered this?
It wasn't me!
Didn't I say to catch that lunatic, Hong Man Su?
Is Jae In okay?
Where is the scene?
Got it.
That jerk...
I told him not to make a move without my permission.
I think I finally understand now...
why it bothers me so much...
when you're hurting or struggling.
Now I know why.
Jae In.
I love you.
- Do Yun... - Please, let me finish.
I'm not asking you to accept my love right now.
I'm not suggesting we start anything right away, either.
For now...
When you're in danger like just now...
and when you struggle or feel lost,
I hope that I can be...
the first person you think of.
That's enough for me.
I'm not asking for anything more.
Thank you.
And...
I'm sorry.
Right now, all I think about...
is getting revenge for Eun Ho and my father.
My own happiness or love...
They feel like selfish luxuries I can't afford.
I understand.
I hesitate to say this...
for Do Hee.
But...
I still wanted to tell you how I feel.
All I can say for now is this.
When this is all over,
after we clear Do Hee's name,
and get justice for Eun Ho and my father,
let's talk again then.
Just hearing you say that is enough for now.
What do you think you're doing here?
I heard you were kidnapped. Are you all right?
Go ahead.
Don't worry about me. Just go.
Jae In, wait.
That's enough.
What do you think you're doing, keeping someone who was kidnapped?
You want to know? Fine, I'll tell you.
I just confessed my feelings to Jae In.
You'd better know your place.
Who do you think you are?
The way you're acting right now,
is a classic inferiority complex.
- What did you say? - At least I can be honest with her.
You, on the other hand, don't even have that right.
You had someone so precious right by your side,
but you're the one who blew every chance you had.
So don't you dare come around now acting like you're somebody.
It's pathetic.
Kang Jae In forced me to confess, and she recorded it for the police.
I told them I was calling my lawyer, but I called you.
- You have to get me out of here. - What exactly did you say?
That I kidnapped Hwang Eun Ho,
that you told me to kill Jae In,
that Eun Ho died,
and that you told me to kidnap Kang Jae In's mother.
Are you insane? After all the money I gave you,
how could you spill everything like that?
Look, a recording made under duress isn't admissible in court,
and other than your word, they have no other evidence.
So just keep your mouth shut.
I'm the only one who can get you out of this.
"Hey, Sook Ja, get a grip!"
I should report this jerk too.
How dare they call me just "Sook Ja" without respect?
"Hey, Sook Ja?"
Mom, is there even a point to this?
I mean, I'm taking screenshots of every single one to report them,
but it's harder to find one that isn't a malicious comment.
"Noh Sook Ja", with five exclamation marks!
"Die, you crazy mother-in-law!"
"Chairman Hwang Gi Chan of YL Group, I hope you die too, you cheater!"
Are you serious? Stop reading those!
Mom, your name's all over this.
"Look at his mother, No wonder he turned out like that "
"Looking for party members to commit Noh Sook Ja."
Darn it! The troll isn't a stranger online,
and he's right here.
Shut your mouth!
Oh, Gi Chan, perfect timing. Come take a look at this.
Everyone who watched that Expose World video...
is harassing us.
It feels like they just don't stop it.
Now they're at it again.
So, is it okay to just report them and leave it at that?
I'm talking about reopening Kim Do Hee's case.
They've been bothering me a lot because of it.
What are people saying?
They say Jae In's mom killed Kim Do Hee...
mistaking her for your mistress.
But since you had an affair, and now Se Ri is your mistress,
they say you and Se Ri should share the blame,
no matter who the killer is.
Something like that.
Now that I say it out loud, they kind of have a point.
Excuse me, Na Ra, who are you calling a mistress?
Why are you dwelling on the past? The present is what matters.
I'm Gi Chan's lawful wife now.
Besides, who told her to jump to conclusions and kill someone?
That's Ja Young's fault.
- Isn't that right, Mother? - Of course it is.
Ja Young is the one who needs to take responsibility.
The killer must be Choi Ja Young...
even if the police start the reinvestigation.
She just has to be.
Follow me.
I told you not to act so recklessly.
Who are you to order someone to kill Jae In?
Fine. Then you might as well just kill me.
Because that's the only way you'll ever get rid of me.
This is all your fault.
Do you think I want to kill her because I'm hung up on the past?
No.
The more you want her instead of me, the more you seek her out,
the more I turn into this.
You're the one who drove me to this.
It's all up to you.
I'm the only woman for you.
I'm your only wife and the only mother of your child.
Your secrets are our secrets,
and your shame is our shame.
So from now on, you focus only on me.
Or else, even I don't know what I'll do next.
I was being blackmailed at the time. I just said whatever came to mind.
This is so unfair.
If you're not going to believe me, I'm exercising my right to silence.
You're questioning me with a voice recording...
that was coerced to be testimony?
Did you order a hit on Kang Jae In?
How many times do I have to tell you it wasn't me?
Do you have any proof it was me? Any concrete evidence?
Of course, you don't.
If you had any evidence, you wouldn't be testing me like this.
Call me back when you have some actual evidence.
And stop dragging an innocent person down here.
I'll stay and handle the rest. You may leave first.
(YL Planning and Design Team)
So, right now...
are you telling me Kang Se Ri is being questioned by the police?
Yes.
Kang Se Ri is a psycho, isn't she? Murder, kidnapping...
Jae In, from now on, let's commute together.
I'll keep you safe.
You should, Jae In.
You never know what she'll do next.
Kang Se Ri will have to lay low for a while.
Hong Man Su, who she used to order around like a servant, kidnapped me.
As the victim, I was an eyewitness and already gave my testimony.
So even if we can't prove her other crimes,
they said she won't be able to avoid being arrested for this incident.
My apologies for being late.
You have the nerve to show up for work?
You ordered Jae In's kidnapping, and you dare to show your face here?
In a way, I'm almost impressed.
I don't know what you've heard, but I haven't done anything wrong.
Hong Man Su framed me.
I was so wrongfully accused that I explained myself to the police.
I'll go copy today's materials. There are too many.
The voice recording alone isn't enough to get Kang Se Ri anyway.
We'll have to settle for keeping Hong Man Su in check for now.
Don't get too worked up.
I'm too worked up.
I'm going to go grab an iced coffee.
Jae In.
Anyway, you need to be careful.
Even a cornered rat will bite.
Yes.
Ta-da!
It's a gift for you.
What's this for?
You've dealt with the police and struggled with Jae In.
You've had a rough time recently.
It's a lucky charm. It'll protect you, Seung Woo.
Aren't you going to take it?
That's okay.
But I went out of my way to buy this because I was worried about you!
It only works if you keep it on you, so make sure you do.
And don't you ever, ever open it.
It'll lose its power.
You got this!
Hey, take it back. I told you that I'm fine.
What is this? It looks like a Chinese character.
"Love"?
The character for love?
Oh, no. It's so creepy!
I almost fell for it.
Where are you going all of a sudden?
Director Do, what's come over you?
How many times do I have to tell you I'm going to the gallery?
Ma'am, the gallery is closed today.
Director Do.
The gallery opening is closed for the visitors.
I have even more work to do on closing day.
I'm leaving.
Director Choi.
Okay, Director Do, I hate to ask,
but could you just drop my mom off at the gallery?
I'll stop by on my way out and try to convince her.
Okay, thank you.
Darn it. This whole museum is empty...
Oh, wait. There's a guy.
Is he here to buy a painting?
Hello there.
Oh, hello.
You seem to like this painting.
You've been looking at it for a while.
You clearly have a good eye for art.
That's the most expensive piece we have.
You seem to work here at JY Gallery.
Can I meet Director Choi Ja Young?
I'm Lee Tae Ho.
The director of this gallery isn't Choi Ja Young.
Now It's me.
I'm Director Noh Sook Ja of JY Gallery.
Now, is there a painting you'd like to buy?
Isn't Director Choi Ja Young the director here?
Aren't you here to buy a painting?
Do you have Director Choi Ja Young's contact information?
Why does he keep bringing up that jinxed name?
If you're curious about her, check the news. Don't ask me.
Darn it.
I was so close to making a sale,
but now my cheeks hurt for nothing.
Mom, where are you?
What do you see around you? Any buildings or stores?
Mom, stay right there. I'm right up ahead.
Hello, Mr. Lee.
I'm Lee Chan Seong, your assistant in Korea.
Oh, hello.
I planned to get you at the airport, so I'm surprised you're here first.
I take it there's a painting you're looking for at this gallery.
No. There's someone I was determined to find in Korea.
It seems word's out you're here. My phone's been ringing nonstop.
It's not an official visit, though.
This time, I came here for vacation...
and to propose a collaboration with Designer L,
who’s currently in Korea.
And while I'm at it, I thought I'd scout...
for some new Korean artists.
Let's take our time with the business side of things.
Yes, of course. The car is over this way.
- What about your other bags? - They're already at the hotel.
I heard Director Choi Ja Young quit. Please look into that for us.
And her daughter, Kang Jae In too.
Tae Ho is in the country?
(Chairman Hwang Gi Chan)
Find out where he's staying and what his schedule is,
and set up a meeting.
I'll be the one reaching out, so make it fast.
Yun Hee.
We're having a guest over for dinner tonight.
That's unusual for you. You never brought a guest home.
Is it someone important?
Yes, a very important guest.
Then I'd better go grocery shopping.
Do you know what their favorite food is?
Oh, it's fine. We'll just eat what we normally do.
So you really don't need to worry about it.
But they're our guest. How can I not?
I'll take care of it, so just hurry up and get to work.
Hey, Mrs. Park?
What?
Who's killing anyone?
I'm busy, so stop spouting nonsense and hang up!
Darn it. It’s already frustrating that I can’t upload the video,
but everyone calls me,
asking if an innocent person died because of our Gi Chan's affair.
They say, "The news said Choi Ja Young is innocent!"
They're just reveling in our misfortune.
Why is Gi Chan getting all the blame that Choi Ja Young deserves?
Is there any proof that Gi Chan did it?
"Manipulating public opinion?"
Do they think I can't do that?
- No. - Kang Jae In bribed the media...
and is spreading false propaganda.
The one who killed Assistant Manager Kim Do Hee...
is Choi Ja Young!
To all the employees of YL Group!
Don't be fooled!
Because of Kang Jae In's slander,
my family is now in shambles.
My eldest son was so stressed out by this whole thing...
that he's lost his mind.
And I can barely swallow my food each day,
so I'm nothing but skin and bones now.
(Kang Jae In, Stop Media Manipulation and Lies)
Look at me.
- Mom, what are you doing? - What if Gi Chan finds out?
He'll praise me when he finds out. Tell him his mom came here to fight.
Let me see that.
Stop the media manipulation and the lies!
- Stop the lies and manipulation! - Stop it!
- Stop it!
Mom...
What? My mother's there?
Well, Chairman Hwang, aren't you something?
As if your wife wasn't enough, now your mother supports you too.
Now, even the employees who didn't know will find out.
That the Kim Do Hee case is being reinvestigated,
and that Jae In's mom might be innocent after all.
Since your mother is going to shout it from the rooftops,
should I be thanking you?
If Director Choi Ja Young is innocent, then I guess so.
Then there's always Assistant Manager Kang Seung Woo.
If you don't want his name to be dragged through the mud,
I suggest you leave.
It won't do you any good to provoke me.
(Chairman Hwang Gi Chan)
Keep my Seung Woo's name out of your filthy mouth.
Why don't you try stopping your own mother?
I'm embarrassed for you.
Stop the media manipulation and the lies!
Hey...
(Innocent If Rich, Guilty If Poor)
Come with me now!
Oh, I have to go to the bathroom. The bathroom.
What were you thinking?
How could you take my brother to work and do something like that?
No, but...
I was doing it for you.
I told you I would handle it.
When I tell you to stay out of it, you stay out of it!
Why would you humiliate me publicly?
Have you no shame?
You might as well just tell me to die!
I'm so sorry.
I was just trying to help you.
Because you're all I have.
You're right. I was wrong.
Bo Ram.
Ask your uncle to buy you a treat. All right?
Okay. Uncle, can I have pizza?
Sure. Pizza it is.
Your uncle must be bringing someone really important home,
kicking you and Bo Ram out of the house.
Have you heard anything?
It seems to be someone very important to him.
Come on, Bo Ram. Let's go get pizza.
- Okay, let's go! - Let's go.
She's so excited.
I cooked so much because you said an important guest was coming,
but what is all this about?
She is important to me.
We're getting back together.
Jung Oh Seong!
Do you have any self-respect?
So what if it's in the past? Can you just forget about it?
Why do you think you spent nearly 30 years drifting at sea?
It was because of this woman, Kang Mi Ran, and her family.
I know time can soften old memories, but this is ridiculous.
About what happened back then,
there are no excuses for what my family and I did.
My family was cruel, and I was cowardly and selfish.
Even though my family was completely against it,
I should have been honest with Oh Seong about everything,
so that we could have overcome it together.
I'm not romanticizing the past.
She just ghosted me,
and I lost my career and was forced out to sea.
I could never forget any of that even if I tried.
And trust me, I resented her for a long time.
I even gave her a piece of my mind when we met again.
All I could see was what I'd been through...
and how it made me feel.
So why the change?
I realized that, just as much as me,
she was in pain and struggling,
and that she had to face it all on her own.
Suddenly, the past didn't seem to matter anymore.
So I looked at how I feel right now.
And I realized...
I'm still in love with her.
You know what they say, "You can read a person by one thing."
Fine. Let's say what she did to you is in the past.
But what about what she did to her own niece, Jae In?
Can't you see she's been merciless, even to her own flesh and blood?
People don't change that easily.
So, she was hurting as much as you.
Fine.
But are we supposed to understand her...
when she says she feels hurt and victimized...
while stabbing her loved ones and making them bleed?
I'm sorry.
The mistakes and all the wrongs I've committed,
they're all my fault,
it's a reflection of my own shortcomings.
I'm not trying to pretend none of it happened.
To Oh Seong...
and Jae In,
I'll spend the rest of my life making up for what I've done
and begging for their forgiveness.
So, please,
just one more time,
give me one last chance.
I'll make things right.
She apologized to Jae In, and Jae In forgave her.
So, Yun Hee.
Please try to be happy for us and support our relationship.
Fine. She apologized to them and they forgave her, so it's done.
But that's where it ends.
I still don't want you involved with our family any more.
You brought her here on your own, so you can see her out yourself.
We need to talk.
Fine, my dear son. If you have something to say, say it.
If it will make you feel better, get it all off your chest.
Today, you'll meet a special guest as the director of the gallery.
Oh my goodness. So, is this my debut as Director?
Something like that.
This is an important day for both of us,
so be at the meeting place on time.
I'll text you the time and location.
Okay. I promise I won't let you down.
I'll be on my best behavior, so you can count on me.
I'll see you later.
Hold on. This is no time to stand around.
What should I wear to leave a good impression...
on our important guest?
Mother, it uses high-frequency waves all through your body.
Welcome. How may I help you...
It's meant to relieve your various aches and pains.
A sudden gift? What's the occasion?
Well, I have that important meeting today,
so I guess I should give it a try.
And the buttons are very easy to use.
This is amazing.
I just put my feet on it, and my whole body feels warm.
But, Mother.
About your meeting today.
Are you sure you'll be okay?
I heard the person you're meeting only speaks English.
What? English?
Darn it. They should learn to speak Korean.
You know how on edge Gi Chan is,
if you mess up this meeting,
I can just picture how he'll tear into you again.
Still, what can I do?
He said I should be there.
There might be one way around it.
Mother, where are you?
Why aren't you here yet?
Gi Chan.
- What are you doing here? - I'm representing your mother.
She insisted that I come in her place.
I'm not here as your wife.
I'm here as Director Noh Sook Ja's representative.
You'd better do this right.
Don't worry.
(Queen's House)
Now that the news of a reinvestigation is out,
it won't be long before the truth is revealed.
"A reinvestigation?"
There's news about a reinvestigation?
I don't want to drive a company we've worked hard to grow together...
off a cliff.
I don't need that.
As we agreed, I want you out of YL Group.
Please disregard Chairman Hwang's statement.
What?
They changed the prosecutor on the case?
Detective...
Please, save me.
Please save me.
