(Episode 18)
Poor Auntie.
How will she live without Uncle?
Poor Uncle. What will we do without him?
Uncle.
Mom.
Are you okay?
Where am I?
I had a dream.
Your dad died,
and I cried buckets in my dream.
My head still feels hazy.
Goodness, it felt so real.
You two, don't worry.
They say dreams reflect the opposite.
I have to go to your dad.
- Get this out... - Auntie.
It's not a dream.
Uncle passed away.
What is she saying?
Soo Yeon, what did Young Ji just say?
It's not true, is it?
Your dad...
Honey.
What do we do, Soo Yeon?
Your dad...
Your poor dad. What am I going to do?
- Mom. - Goodness.
I feel so bad for your poor dad.
Mom.
What do we do, Soo Yeon?
Everything has been taken care of cleanly.
Good job.
Did you take care of it?
I'm asking if he's dead.
I'll send a portion first.
How can I prepare such a large sum of money at once?
I'm not this family's daughter-in-law yet.
Okay. I'll wire it quickly.
Dad.
I'm sorry, Dad.
Dad.
Which department are you from?
Do you want to get fired?
Why don't you try shooting off your mouth again?
Did you see it? Did you?
Hong Jin A!
What's going on?
Dong Ha!
What brings you here?
What happened back there?
You know Yoo from our family, right?
Yoo, my brother's ex-wife.
Her dad happened to fall down the stairs at our company's emergency exit...
and died today.
But those girls over there are saying that it wasn't an accident...
and was deliberately pushed down.
If rumors like that go around,
the company's stock price will fall and do us no good.
So I gave them a warning.
I did a good job, didn't I?
The vital machine was unplugged?
- You mean patient Yoo Dae Sung's? - Yes.
Even the respirator. Something feels off.
What did you just say?
Young Ji, did anything strange happen...
before Dad passed away?
Anything strange?
I don't think so.
Try to remember it carefully.
Were you with Dad the whole time?
Yes, I was.
Wait.
When I returned from the restroom,
I was terrified that his oxygen mask wasn't around his face.
I called for a doctor, but there wasn't one around.
However, there was a doctor just leaving the room as I came in.
A doctor? Do you mean the one who operated on Dad?
No, not him.
Then who was it? Do you remember his face or name?
I don't remember his face.
Or his name.
Young Ji, are you sure he was a doctor?
He was wearing a doctor's gown, so yes.
How many times must I repeat myself?
We can't without a warrant because of the privacy law.
Please.
I need to know which doctor came at that time.
Why not ask the workers?
I beg you. Please.
Okay, thanks.
It's still a no.
Excuse me.
Do you mind taking this call?
Hello?
Yes, Director.
He's not a doctor in our hospital.
Are you sure?
His face is blurry, so I'm not entirely sure.
But none of the doctors in our department wear glasses.
I think my dad...
was murdered.
What do you mean?
I don't know.
But it's what the circumstances are telling me.
Thank you for today.
I was able to watch the security footage.
Thank you for everything.
Wait.
That's my number.
Call me whenever you need my help.
Thank you.
He died?
Yes.
So she got in touch and told me she couldn't work for the time being.
Goodness.
This is the very reason people's lives are futile.
It hadn't been long since she was happy he woke up.
Poor girl.
What do you mean reinvestigate out of nowhere?
It only took one day to conclude the case.
Did you even investigate properly?
Are you saying we did a sloppy job?
It's because you won't listen to me.
It's not a simple accident.
My dad, who regained consciousness, died all of a sudden.
His oxygen mask wasn't on him.
And nobody in the hospital knows the doctor who came by his room that day.
Isn't it strange?
I'm investigating the accident in SA Group,
not the hospital.
That's why I'm asking you...
to dig in deeper.
First off, the accident in SA Group occurred...
because your father lost his footing on his own.
I even checked the surveillance camera.
So there is surveillance footage of his accident?
No, there isn't.
The camera at the emergency exit had been out of order for a few days,
so it wasn't working.
I...
I want an autopsy.
What?
Don't we need to know the exact cause of death?
And I don't understand...
how the surveillance camera wasn't working that particular day.
Your father died from an unnatural death,
so I know you're shocked.
And it's surely hard to believe and comprehend.
- But... - That's why I'm asking for an autopsy.
Once I get answers to all my questions,
I won't be suspicious anymore,
will I?
You can't ask for an autopsy just because it was an accident.
And it was treated as a simple accident.
It's not even a criminal case. So you can't have one.
- What kind of law is that? - It's the country's law.
If you want an autopsy no matter what, find a way yourself.
Please sign here.
(Application Approving Autopsy)
Did you bring the investigation closure confirmation?
Yes, here.
Please do it as soon as possible.
I'm heading over there right now.
(President Hong Jin Woo)
You really came.
I gave you a head's up.
You really have no nerves, do you?
All the workers would recognize you.
Or maybe you have no sense of shame.
I don't care because I did nothing disgraceful.
You're becoming more and more shameless.
Or were you born with it?
I'll leave once you give me what I want.
The surveillance footage. Hand it over.
And if I refuse?
If you're innocent as you said, why wouldn't you show it to me?
Don't even think about manipulating it.
I watched it all already.
Your dad was the only one who went to the emergency exit.
Nobody followed him.
And my mom was in her office the whole time.
And Mr. Kim?
At the time of the accident, the camera got him entering the lobby...
returning from business outside the office.
There is footage from the emergency exit too, right?
No.
We wouldn't have known...
that the camera wasn't working if it weren't for the accident.
Why did it have to happen when the camera wasn't working?
Your father was just unlucky.
The truth you want to know is all in that, so watch them all you want.
If I find anything suspicious, I'm asking the police to investigate.
Be my guest.
Soo Yeon?
Why are you here?
How's your father doing?
Don't worry. He'll definitely wake up.
He passed away.
When?
Didn't you say the surgery went well?
What about his funeral?
It's been pushed back.
I asked for an autopsy.
An autopsy?
Did you find something strange?
No, I didn't.
I just want to be sure.
I should leave now.
Okay. Contact me anytime you need help.
He died from losing his footing,
so nothing will come out from the autopsy.
Thanks to the broken surveillance camera at the emergency exit,
there isn't any evidence you pushed him down.
So what's to worry about?
Of course, it's a different story if I stand as a witness.
But I have no intention of doing so.
If you don't forget to hand over the phone to me at your wedding,
it'll only be you and me.
Only the two of us will ever know.
Of course, I should give it to you.
I promise, Mother.
Mom. Go in and rest.
Once we have the autopsy for your dad,
what happens next?
We'll know what to do after we get the results.
Auntie, you're crying again. Don't cry.
I'm already sad that he died.
I feel so bad that they're going to cut him open.
We can't let Dad go like this.
I know it's tough, but please be strong for Dad.
Okay. I understand.
Honey. Come on out. Yu Ra's parents are waiting.
Did you hear...
that Soo Yeon's father passed away?
I guess I'm the last one to find out as usual.
The person you should be caring about is Yu Ra's father, not Soo Yeon's.
His death has nothing to do with us.
Meeting Yu Ra's father right after Soo Yeon's father has passed away...
You're really something else, honey.
Come out. You didn't eat with us.
We should at least have tea together.
I didn't understand the meaning of a home-cooked meal...
when I was overseas.
After eating Korean food, I can understand.
Thank you for the meal.
I really appreciate you taking care of us so well.
We're happy to see that you're happy.
Aren't we, honey?
I'm glad the meal was to your taste.
I said hi, so I would like to go and rest.
Honey.
Please excuse me. I deal with anxiety disorder.
Meeting know people is hard for me.
My wife is in charge of all things related to the wedding,
so you can discuss things with her.
I apologize.
I think he's having a tough time today because he's more nervous than usual.
Of course. We can understand.
Anxiety disorder can't be cured overnight.
The fact that he was able to join us at least for a little bit is great.
You may have heard from Yu Ra already,
but we were hoping to have the wedding soon...
while you two are in Korea.
They're already living in the same house together.
The wedding is more of a formality.
It's okay with us either way.
They're head over heels for each other.
It's great if we can have the wedding as soon as possible.
It would be a relief for us as well.
That must be him.
I guess he let you know already.
I heard it was a surprise, so I didn't say anything.
Did you know already?
Did you tell her?
No.
We prepared a small gift for you in celebration of the wedding.
Auntie. Uncle.
It's me. Sun Soo.
Oh, right. It's you.
What are you doing here?
I heard you all were meeting, so I came to say hi...
and give my congratulations.
I invited him because he reached out to me.
He said you hadn't seen each other for a long time.
You must be surprised.
Oh, yes. A little.
Yu Ra. Aren't you going to introduce us?
Jin Woo. This is my cousin.
- Nice to meet you. - You too.
Are you confident you can handle Yu Ra?
What?
Yu Ra likes strong men.
Right, Yu Ra?
I'm joking.
Here you go.
Ms. Lee.
We took some time to prepare this because we heard you liked art.
It's Hae Jo Kwon, right?
I knew you would recognize it right away.
He's a world-renowned Korean-born artist...
that the world's top three art museums fight over, right?
Yes.
Yu Ra. Can you give me a tour of the house?
Okay.
Your house is nice.
What are you doing? Are you crazy?
How dare you come here?
Why not? It's the house of your future parents-in-law.
You really look like a noblewoman here.
I must've not forgotten you still.
Don't touch me.
Why not?
You used to like it when I touched you.
Are you crazy?
Why are you doing this? Don't.
I am crazy.
That's why I did everything you asked.
I even killed someone.
I might go to the police if you anger me.
What do you think will happen to you...
if I turn myself in?
I told you I'd give you the money.
We have to update the bill.
One big one won't cut it.
That amount is like a child's allowance for a wealthy lady like yourself.
Be generous.
Give me 30 big ones.
I can't give it to you all at once. That's a large sum of money.
If you stay quiet and don't cause a mess until the wedding,
I'll give it to you then.
Okay. Then how about...
staying with me tonight...
as a bonus?
Look at this.
(Autopsy Results)
You have to reinvestigate.
They found someone else's skin cells...
underneath my dad's fingernails.
I'm sure there was someone there...
before my dad fell.
And who is that?
That's what I'm asking you to investigate.
Is this enough to reopen the investigation?
I'll look into it and contact you.
I beg you.
Please...
help my dad...
rest in peace.
Don't you think it would be good to go ahead with the funeral?
We'll have the funeral...
after the police investigate and catch the culprit.
It's no use fighting against SA Group.
More importantly, Mr. Yoo is in a freezer in the mortuary.
This is like killing him all over again.
We'll do it.
You can sign here.
(Kim Hye Kyung)
Hello.
She agreed to proceed with it, ma'am.
Honey. I might be doing the wrong thing,
but I don't want to make Soo Yeon suffer anymore.
You understand, right?
I'm sorry.
(Rest in peace.)
Mom.
Mom. What happened?
I'm going ahead with the funeral.
Mom.
Dad didn't just die.
We first have to figure out who killed him and why.
How can you just go ahead with the funeral?
What if we can't catch the culprit?
How long are we going to keep him in that cold freezer?
Until we catch who did it?
I can't do that.
I don't want him to freeze. I don't like that.
They did an autopsy, and we got the results.
What more do you want to do?
Your dad had a hard life.
We should at least make his death comfortable.
Let's let...
your dad go.
Let's let him go, Soo Yeon. Okay?
The funeral?
Yes.
I guess they concluded it was an accident.
That must be why they're having a funeral.
Contact the head of the newspaper and tell them to publish an article.
What for? It was just an accident.
Their former daughter-in-law's father...
died in the SA Group's building right after the divorce.
It's hot news regardless of whether or not it was an accident.
Let's get them somehow.
Gosh, Mi Sook. You are so smart.
I didn't go to college.
But if I had, I would've shaken things up in Korea.
Dong Ha. You know mothers pass on their smarts, right?
You're a genius thanks to who?
You, Mother.
Half is from Father.
Gosh.
Half-and-half is just right.
You're such a good son.
Another half is from me.
Sure.
You came.
Switch with me.
You're so paranoid.
Where's the money?
It's in the car. You can come with me and check it later.
Are the fish biting?
They must know that I caught a big, golden fish already.
They're not biting.
Or should I say golden goose?
Are you asking me to give you golden eggs for the rest of your life?
You catch on so quickly.
This is why I like you.
As you very well know, I'm quite greedy.
I can't sleep if there's something I want. I have to get it no matter what it takes.
It makes me so angry if someone stands in my way,
so much so that I want to kill them.
Gosh. Why do I feel so dizzy?
I've gotten this far.
I don't want to lose it all because of you.
I only need you to disappear.
Then it's all over.
("SA Group's Mysterious Death, the Deceased is the Ex-Father-in-Law?")
What's everyone doing, not stopping an article like this from being published?
I ordered the team to send out an article stating that...
SA Group was not responsible for the accident.
However, SA Group will fulfill its moral responsibilities.
Actions are better than words.
Where's the funeral home?
Are you going to go?
(Rest in peace.)
You look unwell.
Even though you're no longer with Jin Woo,
I came because we used to be family.
You must be devasted.
If your words are sincere, please help my dad rest in peace.
You know...
how he died, right?
I heard it was an accident.
Regardless of how it happened,
my heart is heavy knowing it happened in my building.
I'll compensate you generously.
I'll help with part of the funeral costs...
Compensate us generously?
Do you think you can put a price on my dad's life?
You're wrong.
All of the money in the world wouldn't be enough.
So give me my dad back!
That's what we want.
I'm sorry for your loss. That's all I can say.
Be strong, Soo Yeon.
This is a crazy amount of money.
Take your money back.
I don't need your money, so take it back!
I know you must be sad and angry.
I completely understand.
I want to console you in some way.
Oh, my goodness.
Don't say it's generous.
Don't say you understand. What do you know?
My dad lived his whole life for his family.
He always put me and Mom...
ahead of himself and took care of us.
My dad only had one wish.
He only wanted me,
his one and only daughter,
to be happy.
Do you even know?
If you know that, bring my dad back.
Bring my dad back!
Bring him back.
(Gold Mask)
I sure am lucky.
Even when I get slapped, it's with a bundle of money.
I think we ended up hurting Soo Yeon.
She proved just how unsophisticated she is.
Is it safe for me to assume that this is unrelated to SA Group?
You can just go ahead and investigate whether it's a groundless rumor or not.
Did you not understand when I said to keep her out of my sight?
I am not an adulteress.
Chairman Cha fabricated the affair.
