(Episode 26)
Prosecutor Yu.
You look pale.
- Are you not feeling well? - No, I'm good.
I guess it's been a while since I had drank.
Then you should go home.
You're getting a chauffeur service, right?
No. I'm going to walk to sober up.
I'll go home then.
Bye.
Yu Ra, I'll get going too. Thanks for dinner.
See you tomorrow.
Yes, Ms. Kim.
Dinner tonight?
Yes, I can make it.
Okay, I'll see you there.
What are you looking for?
My pills for allergy.
Mom.
Mom!
Where on earth did she go?
Prosecutor Yu?
Are you okay, Prosecutor Yu?
Gosh, Prosecutor! Are you all right?
My goodness, what should I do?
Prosecutor!
He looks so much like him.
How can a person look so same?
Yes, Yu Myung.
No, I couldn't find Mom yet.
What?
Loan sharks keep calling our house?
Okay, I'll be there soon.
Are you okay?
Yes, I'm fine.
I see you're up.
It seems that you reacted to an allergy.
Did you eat something you shouldn't?
Yes, I'm allergic to apples.
I think it was in the salad sauce I had.
You should be careful.
I'll write you a prescription.
Don't leave until you finish taking the solution.
- All right. - Good.
I guess I owe you.
You could go now.
Will you be all right?
Yes.
Then get home safely. I've got to be somewhere in a hurry.
If he's allergic to apples,
I guess he's really not Tae Poong.
What did I expect?
No, I couldn't find Mom yet.
What?
Loan sharks keep calling our house?
Just wait for it, Han Yu Jung.
This is just the beginning.
Hello?
Plant Manager, you're back in Korea?
I was waiting for your call.
Do you remember the advertising company that was in charge...
of educational materials...
when I first went down to Chuncheon factory?
The delivery girl came to ask to postpone the due date.
I was wondering if you'd find the contact information...
of that advertising company.
Yes, thank you.
Director Cha, we're in trouble.
There's an article saying that the design of the project...
you worked on was plagiarism.
What did you say?
I've looked through the article,
and it said the work presented in our company's contest was stolen.
What's going on?
The contestant's history or the work has been discarded...
so it's hard to check.
But one of the designs in the article was dropped...
while we were working on it.
Given that only Director Cha's design is included,
I think the article is true.
Good grief.
Director Cha, how did plagiarism...
- happened? - That's not true at all.
You know how hard me and my team worked hard...
night and day to prepare that design.
Also,
I've just come back from the States.
I never got to see that contestant's work. This is not right.
Don't just say it's not right, give us the solution.
Prove that it's not true so the consumers could understand.
("DL Group's New Product Design Has Been Embroiled In Plagiarism.)
Inspector Lee.
Can you look into this DL Group's plagiarism controversy?
Sure.
Plagiarism? That's nonsense.
How's Seo Jun doing?
He's trying to negotiate with the person who claims to be the victim.
Okay, you can leave.
You wanted to see me, Chairman?
Welcome, Yu Ra. Take a seat.
Is there...
something wrong? It's quite unsettled around here.
Don't mind it.
I had something to tell you so I called you in.
I see.
I'm sorry about the day you met Seo Jun.
You must’ve been uncomfortable.
Not at all.
He must've been too surprised to act normal since it was so sudden.
Won't he be okay the next time?
Actually,
I think Seo Jun doesn't feel you're right for him.
Pardon?
I may have been too hasty...
and perhaps I pushed it too hard.
Chairman.
Let's pretend this never happened.
Instead, I'll look for another person for you.
Okay.
I wish to see the person who claims to be the victim.
The victim is mentally and physically...
weak due to extreme stress.
I heard the victim doesn't even go outside.
I don't think it'll be possible.
I put so much effort to earn the chairman's heart,
but what is this? How annoying.
Isn't that Seo Jun and Sung Hee?
What could it be?
Can you at least give me that person's contact information?
I can't give you my source's information.
I guess that'll be all. Goodbye.
Reporter, wait!
- Sung Hee! - Hey, Yu Ra.
Isn't that person you just met,
Cha Seo Jun of DL Group?
Why would you see him?
Don't you know?
DL Group's plagiarism case turned into a full-blown affair.
- Plagiarism? - Yes.
I made it off big time.
So he came to ask if I could give any information about the victim.
So did you let him know?
Of course, not. I need to keep my sources safe.
- Right. - See you.
See you.
Geez.
Ms. Yeo Sook Ja.
Just pay for your fee for the sauna.
Why are you being stubborn and not pay for it?
I saw you had a card.
Is it suspended by any chance?
That's not it. I have my reasons.
I told him I'd pay him all at once in few days.
All at once? Don't be ridiculous.
I've seen so many people like you.
Pay me already before I sue you for jumping a bill.
I can't use my card. I don't want my family to know where I am.
I need my family to worry about me and look for me.
You don't want them to know where you are?
But I already called your family.
What?
- Mom! - Mom!
My goodness.
What the heck are you doing?
Yeo Sook Ja!
Get up. Come here.
What's gotten into you?
- Honey. - We're going home. Geez.
- How much is it? - It's 30 dollars.
Eggs, sikhye, ramyeon, and even seaweed soup?
Goodness, Mom. You ate better than you do at home.
My gosh.
What do you think you're doing?
Aren't you embarrassed to see your children?
Do you think I wanted to do so?
I did it so I could be not embarrassed in front of my kids.
Get a hold of yourself, for goodness' sake!
Get out if you're to keep making excuses like that.
- What did you say? - Dad, that's enough.
- Good grief. - You know what?
I'm not ashamed of anything.
Do you want to know what's really embarrassing?
I have to crawl to the owner...
because of the overdue rent.
And every time I see my friends,
I have no decent clothes nor bags to hold.
Those are the things I'm ashamed of.
You have no idea how I feel.
And our Yu Myung.
- My son. - What are you doing?
Look at his gorgeous face.
If we had enough money,
he would've acheived anything.
But all he gets with this face is bit roles.
And it just breaks my heart watching him.
I feel the most ashamed that I am a mother without money.
Do you even know anything about how I feel?
What did you say?
So are you saying that you've done well or what?
Calm down and let's go in.
- Get inside now! - Let's go.
That woman. My gosh.
What's wrong with my life?
How unfortunate I am!
What I did was for everyone. He doesn't even get it!
There is no one...
who understands me.
I'm always the bad guy here!
Mom.
Of course, we all know how you feel.
Also, don't be so worried about the debt.
We can all work hard to pay back.
I'll help you.
Really?
Yes.
Don't cry.
All right. Then I'll see you the day after.
Okay, bye.
Was that another tip?
It looks like you get all the scoop.
I've got to work hard since there's no husband to protect me.
So what is it? Do you have something to tell me?
No. I just made you this.
Oh, no!
- I'll pick it up. - Gosh.
- Goodness. - I'm sorry.
I guess I'm old now.
- Thanks for this. - Sure.
I'm getting a call. Excuse me.
- Take care. - You too. See you later.
(DL Group informant, Kim Jung Hwan)
(Kim Jung Hwan)
Yu Ra!
Hey.
What brings you here?
Our notebooks got swapped.
Is that so?
You're right.
- I'm sorry. - It's okay.
- Have a good day. - Yes, you too.
Then, is there no way to find that person...
claiming plagiarism?
He only contacts the reporter who covered this case.
That reporter won't tell me either as it's personal information.
I'll look if there's any other way.
Okay.
Come in.
Mr. Cha.
What brings you here, Ms. Han?
- You may leave. - Okay.
Take a seat.
What brings you here?
I understand that you aren't happy to see me,
but you don't have to raise your guard like that.
You're telling me to get to the business, right?
(Kim Jung Hwan)
What is this?
It's the name and the phone number...
of the person claiming plagiarism.
How did you get this?
I saw you meet one of our reporters at my work earlier.
I put in a lot of effort to ask around my colleagues.
I hope it can be of help.
Yes.
Okay. Bye.
I talked with my acquaintance at DL Group's legal department.
Director Cha does seem to be in a tight spot.
The person claiming to be the victim won't meet...
anyone from the DL Group,
and is just manipulating the media.
Is there no way DL could have plagiarized?
Everyone in the project including Director Cha claims not.
But there's no way of knowing that.
Thanks for your work.
What do we do about Seo Jun?
The public is turning against him too.
The comments were quite a sight.
That Seo Jun was in a director's position without the capability,
or that this is why people shouldn't be hired through connections.
It's as if they have nothing better to do.
It must trouble you quite a bit, Hwa Yeon.
But don't tell me...
that Seo Jun really did it.
What are you saying, Mi Ri?
Well, it's the first project Seo Jun took charge of.
He must've wanted to do well.
I'm wondering if he could've made the wrong choice from pressure.
Mi Ri!
Don't you know how Seo Jun is?
Seo Jun would never plagiarize.
Well,
I'm just being concerned.
It seems that Seo Jun's home late again.
He's always late.
The person you've called is unavailable right now.
Have you looked into any other number or address of Kim Jung Hwan?
I inquired the legal department, and they said there are three ways.
One is errand services.
It's quick but illegal.
The second is suing for defamation.
We can find out his address as the notice will be mailed to him,
but it will take a long time.
The third is to use the police and the prosecution.
Should I tell the legal department to look into it?
The prosecution...
There's someone I know. I'll get into it.
Okay.
(Prosecutor Yu Min Hyuk)
Su Hee,
it's unfortunate that this happened right after you opened your shop.
I didn't know what to say when my customers asked me about it.
Did you hear anything from the headquarter?
Well,
they told me to wait until they send further instructions.
But maybe that Director Cha...
really plagiarized.
The victim looked really upset on the news.
I don't know. He didn't seem like the type.
Su Hee, maybe it's because you don't know it.
But the affairs are also done by people...
who are least likely to commit.
Sang Tae!
Why is everything about affairs?
Yes, this is Yu Min Hyuk.
Hello. This is Cha Seo Jun from DL Group.
Yes, hello.
One moment, please.
Let me get this call.
Yes.
What's the occasion, Director Cha?
I'm sorry to call you so late at night.
But I called you due to a problem I got into.
Yes, I've heard about it too.
You must be worried about your work.
Yes.
Well, Prosecutor Yu,
could I ask you a favor?
A favor?
I want the information of the person...
claiming to be a victim.
I understand it's a difficult favor.
But my company's reputation is at stake.
Please help me. I beg of you.
It's the call history...
and banking information of Kim Jung Hwan you asked me last night.
So he has no criminal history.
No. I checked it separately,
but he seems to have no criminal history.
But I sensed something suspicious.
Recently, he had 30,000 dollars of cash...
deposited into his account via an ATM.
And there's a number he'd call often around that time.
Have you looked into that number?
I did, but it was a burner phone.
Is that so?
Are these all the documents that have been rejected?
Yes. And from today on, you're on suspension.
Nothing has even been revealed in certain yet.
Okay. You may leave.
Hello, Prosecutor Yu.
As you can see,
the circumstances do seem suspicious.
Judging from how he also had the designs that have been excluded,
there may be an internal spy.
Yes.
I agree.
What do you plan to do now?
I'll go to the address written here and go see him.
I'll go with you.
Since I got in it, I might as well help you until the end.
Thank you.
Let's go.
(133-85 Yeonhui-ro)
It's this building, right?
One moment.
If you go in now, you'll get Kim Jung Hwan.
But you won't get the internal spy.
If you want to get the head, not the tail,
you have to learn who he meets with.
You're right.
Let's hold out.
All right.
It stings.
Mom, do we have to peel everything?
Unless you want to see me get kicked out,
just peel it without complaining.
Mom, I'm really asking out of curiosity.
How many of these do we have to peel to repay 500,000 dollars?
I'd peel one more rather than thinking of that.
Keep peeling.
Yu Jung!
Where were you, Yu Jung? My hands are burning.
Trade with me.
Mom, take this.
What is this?
I canceled my installment savings plan.
What?
Yu Jung, you saved this for Dong Ho.
We have to deal with the emergency first.
Dong Ho is still young, and I can save again.
Take it, Mom.
Thank you, Yu Jung.
Don't say that. Families help each other out.
And I'll also find a second part-time job for the evening.
I'm looking for a chauffeur service job.
I can start right away?
Yes, I'll go there now.
Thank you.
Prosecutor Yu, have this.
It's kimbap.
Don't you like kimbap?
I used to like it before,
but I don't eat it anymore.
I should have bought something else.
I only thought of myself.
It's fine.
You must like kimbap,
Yes. I like it.
I used to sell kimbap before.
You did?
Yes.
Those were...
the happiest days of my life.
But it doesn't taste the same from then.
You said you don't eat this anymore.
Is there a reason?
Well, yes.
A bad one.
I have a bad memory.
What bad memory?
Kim Jung Hwan is out.
Who do you think he's waiting for?
Do you think he's really waiting for the internal spy?
We'll find that out if we keep watching.
Who in the world is the internal spy?
That's Managing Director Park's car.
Stay low like you're doing now.
Yes, sir.
Managing Director Park.
Was this scam you and Managing Director Park's deed?
Darn it!
Stop there!
Let me go.
What are you? Untie this now.
There's no need for you to know who I am.
You'll get additional punishment if you run away from here.
Just stay here like a good boy.
Hey, let go of this!
Hey!
Are you okay, Director Cha?
Let's go.
How could Managing Director Park do such a thing?
I'm planning to have Managing Director Park pay...
for the damages he caused.
The corrected articles have been published as well.
Everything will be back to normal by tomorrow.
It should.
Send out instructions for the plagiarism issue to the branches.
Okay.
The volume of orders is also returning back,
so we won't have a problem.
That's what your position is like.
There will be more people...
trying to hurt you and bring you down in the future.
Keep that in mind.
Okay.
Yes, Prosecutor Yu.
It got resolved thanks to you.
Do you have time this evening? I'd like to buy you a drink.
Yes.
I'll see you there, then.
Okay.
We got a call from the Chuncheon factory yesterday.
From the Chuncheon factory?
What did they say?
The advertising company you asked for...
went out of business, so they can't reach it.
The plant manager will search for other options,
but it will likely take more days.
Okay.
You may leave.
Yes, sir.
Yu Jung, where in the world are you?
Are you living well?
Yu Jung,
where are you going at this time?
I'm working as a chauffeur starting tonight.
For the chauffeur service?
That will be tough for girls. You'll also get drunk customers.
This is the only thing I can find to work at night.
I'll get going now.
Stay safe. And call me if anything happens.
Okay.
Cheers.
Thank you so much.
This is all thanks to you, Prosecutor Yu.
I got it, so stop thanking me.
Did you realize you thanked me over 20 times now?
Did I?
But why do I feel so close to you?
As if I've known you for a long time.
It's so strange.
Is that so?
Yes.
Can I call you by your name?
And drop the formalities.
Of course, you can decline if you don't feel comfortable.
Let's do so.
I don't have a brother either.
I like that.
I'll try calling you by your name, then.
Min Hyuk.
Yes, Seo Jun.
But...
there's not much I know about you.
You said you weren't married.
Do you have a girlfriend?
I don't.
Why? Will you set me up with someone?
Should I?
Then what about you? Are you dating anyone?
I'm not dating anyone,
but I have someone I like.
But...
I'm looking for her as I can't find her.
What are you saying?
Are you saying the son of DL Group fell in a one-sided love?
I miss her so much.
Where in the world is she?
Can we get another bottle here?
- Let me go to the bathroom. - Okay.
Did anyone call for a chauffeur service?
Yes.
Yu Jung?
You're going to Yeouido, right?
(A Man in a Veil)
You can't do this.
How could the world be so cruel?
Why don't you just tell our family to go out and die?
I've told you countless times that it's an important occasion.
Do you think that's acceptable?
Thief! What do I do?
Are you okay? My goodness.
Did you get the contact information? I'd like to repay back.
Shouldn't you treat me for a meal...
for what I've done for you?
How about dinner tonight?
Why doesn't he like me? Could he be liking another girl?
Yu Jung!
Have a good day.
