(Episode 82)
Seo Yu Ra.
Is this 911? Someone has been hit by a car.
She's badly hurt.
We're currently at...
Yes. Okay. Please come quickly.
Seo Yu Ra, hang in there.
The ambulance is on its way. Don't pass out.
(Operating Center)
Soo Yeon!
What happened?
Are you okay? Did you get hurt anywhere?
I'm fine.
She asked me to meet her, so I was waiting for her.
But it happened in seconds.
I told the police everything I could remember.
They got in touch, right?
Yes. They're calling back after checking the car and the CCTV on the site.
(Operating Center)
- Mother. - What's going on?
What accident was it?
A hit-and-run.
How did it happen?
She was on her way to meet Soo Yeon but got caught in the accident.
You, again?
Are you using our family to get rid of all your bad luck?
Not a day goes by at peace...
when people get involved with you.
You never treated Seo Yu Ra as a human being.
So why are you getting flustered?
Are you blaming me for her accident?
She wanted to see me after she had met with you.
There was something I needed to know.
Don't trust her.
You treated her worse than I did.
And everyone here knows that.
How dare you pin this on me?
(Operating Center)
Sorry.
We tried our best but couldn't save patient Seo Yu Ra.
Would you like to confirm?
Just to let you know in advance,
the accident left her in bad condition from the start.
So you might feel uncomfortable.
I'll contact you once it's ready. Just wait patiently.
It won't be long.
My patience is running low.
It's okay.
She has already left us. Clinging to her is pointless.
Please handle her death...
as quietly as possible...
so that word doesn't leak outside.
Mr. Kim. Order our people to take care of the rest.
- Then bring Jin Woo home. - Yes, ma'am.
(Operating Center)
President Hong, let's go.
We should too.
I know life can be unpredictable,
- but that must've really shocked you. - Yes, it did.
She was detestable to the point I never wanted to talk to her again.
But I never wished her...
to die so suddenly and in vain.
Why are you being so sympathetic, Jin Woo?
She was a crook and lived off our company.
Once the court finalizes your divorce,
she will no longer be part of our family.
Hong Jin A. A person has died.
No matter what they were like,
you should respectfully express your condolences.
If you don't, you're no different...
from that person.
Okay. I'm sorry.
If it was a hit-and-run, was there a witness?
Soo Yeon saw the accident.
Soo Yeon? But how?
Seo Yu Ra had asked to meet her.
But the accident happened where they had promised to meet.
Goodness. Soo Yeon must have been shocked.
Yoo Soo Yeon is the problem.
Things never end well when you get involved with her.
I know, right?
She doesn't mix well with us. We're like sworn enemies.
Enough.
Nothing is more unsightly than blaming others.
And it's rude.
He's right, Jin A. Stop it.
You started it...
Like your dad has said,
she was our family whether we liked her or not.
So we should...
offer our condolences for her to rest in peace.
Please do that for her, everyone.
Don't worry. I always carry it around with me.
So just prepare the money.
Don't try to put me in danger...
or pull any funny tricks.
I am not going to go down by myself.
I came because I thought you had the cash ready.
Don't waste my time like this.
Call me when you have the cash.
That necklace.
I bet that wasn't an ordinary one.
The funeral procedure is done.
The obituary for the press...
and an official statement for the company are in preparation.
What about the condolers?
It's not right to receive condolers...
when she's undergoing a divorce.
Put it on the statement that...
the funeral will be held privately with only family members.
Yes, ma'am.
And the body?
Cremate it.
Then place her in a charnel house on the outskirts of the countryside.
She was an orphan to begin with, so no one would visit her anyway.
Understood. I received...
Ms. Seo Yu Ra's belongings from the hospital.
Was this everything?
Yes. That was everything Ms. Seo had...
just before her death.
I recall she had a necklace on.
Could it be that it was dropped at the scene of the accident?
I will ask the police about it.
If by any chance Yoo Soo Yeon has it...
A hit-and-run?
Good for her.
She got punished for all the bad deeds she had done.
Young Ji. Your baby will hear you.
Mind your language.
But she got what she deserved.
So how badly was she hurt?
Didn't she get an operation?
Well, you see...
What is it? Is she in critical condition?
No way. Did she die?
If the police never got it...
It's me.
Seo Yu Ra is still my daughter-in-law...
and Jin Woo's wife by law.
What is it that you want to say?
When she got transferred to the hospital,
did you take her belongings?
Are you accusing me of being a thief now?
But too bad. The police and paramedics were at the scene...
and took everything.
I believe they handed over the belongings to the bereaved family.
Did you not get them?
Just tell me if you took anything or not.
I had no idea I had to bring Ms. Seo's bag with me.
Why don't you call the hospital or the paramedics?
- Or should I do it? - Forget it.
We'll take care of it, so mind your own business.
If those had fallen into that wench's hands,
she would have gone wild by now.
Everything is over.
Everything.
Seo Yu Ra.
Hang in there. The ambulance is on its way.
Don't pass out.
My necklace.
Please don't move.
Necklace?
Take it.
Dad.
Save me, please.
Cha Hwa Yeong was looking for this. It must be something significant.
Yes, I admit.
Admit that I resented and loathed you.
But I never hoped for this.
You didn't have to die this vainly.
Did the police not catch the hit-and-run killer yet?
No. I called the police just now.
But the car plate number I gave them was an unregistered car.
An unregistered car is a tough one.
They tracked the car down with nearby CCTV,
but it was already scrapped at the junkyard.
Then can't they check who scrapped the car?
The worker got a call to scrap a car that was parked...
at a certain spot.
But they are looking into the caller.
I bet it was a burner phone.
Finding the criminal won't be easy.
At first, I thought it could've been a simple hit-and-run.
But judging by how meticulous they are, it was done on purpose.
Seo Yu Ra was no ordinary woman.
She must've had a lot of enemies.
But who could've done it?
Could it have been Ms. Na Sun Mi on behalf of her brother?
I actually got in touch with her just to be sure.
But she was working at her friend's store on the day of the accident.
And the police confirmed it.
Then who on earth was it?
Could it really have been the person you're suspecting?
Yes.
Seo Yu Ra's accident is definitely...
connected to Chairman Cha.
Then what could have been her reason for having done that?
I'm not sure.
But Seo Yu Ra left her necklace with me.
And Chairman Cha is looking for it. So everything is suspicious.
Gosh. They're handling the case with lightning speed...
as if they were expecting this to happen. It sure looks fishy.
They distributed an obituary notice to the press...
and uploaded an official statement on the company bulletin board.
"Senior Manager of SA Group's Design Team, Seo Yu Ra,"
"has passed away from a hit-and-run accident."
"The funeral will be held privately."
"Everyone is grief-stricken."
"Our deepest condolences to the deceased."
Something like that.
If it was Chairman Cha that caused the accident...
I'm getting goosebumps.
I doubt she'll hold the funeral even privately.
She values reputation and dignity.
Despite what she announced, there won't be any funeral.
That was all for show.
For goodness' sake.
Just how many layers of masks is she wearing?
Thank you for mourning for my daughter-in-law.
I know it must be painful to lose the superior you worked with,
but please overcome it well.
- Oh, gosh. - Chairman Cha.
Please be careful.
I will take my leave.
This is how you ended up in the end.
So how dare you threaten me and try to be wise with me?
Goodbye, Seo Yu Ra.
Chairman Cha.
Goodness.
It was such a great disappointment...
that I stayed up all night looking like this.
I heard Ms. Seo Yu Ra's funeral was being held privately,
so I dressed up...
I was ready to leave, but how could you tell me not to come?
I was in too much of a mess to accept any condolers.
Please accept my apology.
Well, this isn't common at all.
We did not disclose it to the press in consideration...
of the deceased.
But President Hong had already sent the divorce papers to the court.
They were waiting for the confirmation date.
So, she was a stranger. And I couldn't have...
someone as important as you waste your time...
at her funeral.
Who would have thought, out of all people,
Ms. Seo Yu Ra would die...
in vain from a hit-and-run accident?
Knowing that Ms. Seo...
was fake from head to toe,
I'm sure you didn't even treat her like a daughter-in-law.
But you never wished her to die from a hit-and-run,
did you?
I'm human too.
No matter how much I hated her,
such death never crossed my mind.
I'm heartbroken as well.
Right.
Even if people describe you as a woman with nerves...
made of steel,
you still have a warm heart.
By the way, I heard laughter...
in front of your office just a minute ago.
I think you misheard it.
Right?
Gosh. There aren't any senseless people...
who would laugh here in SA Group...
when someone has passed away,
are there?
No way.
Am I hearing things now?
Or is there a ghost in here?
(Marriage Certificate)
Welcome, Soo Yeon. Hey, Dae Chul.
Are you still happy about it?
Soo Yeon, do you know what Dae Chul's real name is?
Mi Nam.
Mr. Ko Mi Nam?
Doesn't the name suit him perfectly?
Yes. I think so.
You don't have to buy me dinner, you know.
I didn't do much.
You were the witness to our love.
You acted as our witness for signing the marriage license.
We should thank you properly.
Right. They should be here by now.
Soo Yeon. A witness from Dae Chul's side will be joining us as well.
I didn't know Mr. Kang would be coming.
Mr. Kang. This is okay with you, right?
Soo Yeon was my witness.
Just to be clear,
today has nothing to do with your relationship.
This is a party to celebrate us signing our marriage license,
so you just have to congratulate us.
No need to worry or be concerned.
Okay, Dong Ha?
Sure.
- Let's sit. We should celebrate. - Okay.
Oh, my. I forgot.
I need to bring food from the kitchen.
I'll come with you. Okay.
Let's do it together.
You said Seo Yu Ra's accident happened right in front of you.
Are you okay?
I'm okay.
You might be okay now,
but you could suffer from the trauma in the future.
One second.
This is the hospital I went to...
when I was having a hard time after my father passed away.
I saw that the doctor was still there.
I really liked that doctor.
You should try visiting them if you don't feel well.
Thank you.
Where is this?
(Mobile Spy)
It's Mother's burger store.
Why did he go there all of a sudden?
Did she ask him to come?
Maybe I should go see Mother too.
Goodness. Did she just...
Oh, my goodness. My blood pressure just spiked.
Seeing her here bothers me so much.
Maybe I should buy the building and kick them out.
One second.
Dong Ha. Where are you?
I'm at the office.
Really? Who are you with right now?
I'm in a meeting. I'm busy. Bye.
Is this the office? Is it?
Dong Ha. How could you lie to me? You're in a meeting?
What meeting are you having here with Yoo Soo Yeon?
Were you talking about how to run away together or something?
I lied because I knew you'd react like this.
You always jump to conclusions and make a scene.
Sure. I shouldn't have lied.
You liar.
You two have been meeting behind my back all along.
That's true, isn't it?
You. You were the one who asked Dong Ha to meet, weren't you?
I clearly told you before.
I told you that I'd make you pay if I were to catch you doing this again.
When are you going to stop hanging around Dong Ha?
When will you stop? Hey!
It's a misunderstanding.
Mr. Kang and I met today because...
A misunderstanding?
Misunderstanding, my foot.
This isn't a misunderstanding!
Hong Jin A. Stop!
You all better stop yelling, immediately.
Goodness.
I can hear your voices from the end of the hall.
How embarrassing.
What's going on?
I came because Young Ji and Dae Chul said they were having a party.
What is this mess?
Why are you here?
- Follow me. - Hey.
Oh, my.
How embarrassing.
What are you all doing in my place of business?
You're the one who lied.
I should be the one who's upset. Why are you angry with me?
You could've just come in. Why did you test me?
Is that so wrong?
Lying is worse.
If you hadn't lied, I wouldn't have gotten angry either.
Be honest.
You've been meeting Yoo Soo Yeon behind my back all along, haven't you?
How did you know I was there?
I went to see Mother.
You never call her, so I thought I, at least, should be a good daughter.
Is that wrong?
You being there with Yoo Soo Yeon is what's wrong.
Why is that wrong?
Dong Ha. I went as a witness to my uncle signing his marriage license.
Soo Yeon came as a witness for her cousin.
We didn't even know the other person was coming.
How is that wrong?
How can I believe that?
It's true that you lied.
You lied.
Try to think about why I'd do that.
I did think about it. I don't know why you'd do that though.
It's because you always react like this.
- Do you really not get that? - No, I don't.
You're the one who did something bad. Don't blame me for it.
From now on, just ask me directly if you want to know something. Don't test me.
I need to work.
Are you telling me to go back by myself?
Why? Are you going to meet Yoo Soo Yeon again?
I need to work.
I was planning to come back here after dinner.
I have a lot to do. Get out.
What are you doing?
I can't trust you anymore.
I'm going to wait here until you're done. You go ahead and work.
I know that it's tradition to visit the bride's family...
after a honeymoon.
We're officially married...
now that we've signed our marriage license.
I know we pushed back the wedding and honeymoon until after the baby comes,
but we at least wanted to keep the tradition...
of visiting the bride's family.
I'm glad you came.
I won't be able to see you two or Seo Jun very much...
once I move in with Dae Chul,
so I wanted to see you guys today.
We can stay here tonight, right?
Of course. This is your home. You don't need my permission.
Of course, you can stay here.
Young Ji. We're a family. You know that.
I know, but I feel bad.
Gosh.
Soo Yeon told me earlier,
so I put some blankets in the small room.
Young Ji. I only want...
one thing for you.
My only wish is for you two...
to love and care for each other and live happily together.
I'll do so.
Also,
this...
(Mirae Bank)
is a bank account in your name.
Your uncle made deposits into the account a few years ago.
He saved little by little,
saying that he wanted to be able to help if you ever wanted...
to start your own business or start a new chapter in life.
I was going to use it to buy wedding gifts,
but I know you two said you didn't need anything like that.
If there's anything you need, use the money on this account.
It's okay, Auntie.
I feel bad. I can't accept this.
Take it. Your uncle would want you to.
If I send you off with nothing,
I won't be able to explain myself to your uncle.
Also, this is your home,
Young Ji.
Don't forget that.
Come visit whenever you want to.
Mr. Ko, I mean, Dae Chul.
Will you be okay...
living with your sister?
Yes, of course.
Mi Sook also agreed to our marriage.
My sister can be overdramatic.
I'm so touched. I'm about to cry.
But she doesn't hold grudges.
Don't worry.
You don't need to worry about a thing.
I'll stay by Young Ji's side...
and take care of her,
so don't worry.
He's right, Mom. You don't need to worry.
Mr. Ko,
I mean, Dae Chul, will take care of her.
I'd love to...
keep Young Ji here and look after her until she recovers.
I'm sending her off because I trust you,
so please take good care of her.
I will. Thank you, Mrs. Kim.
Thank you, Soo Yeon.
We put a net over...
like this.
Isn't there anything funny on?
This has been a big concern...
- for fishermen recently. - I just want to laugh.
- By throwing a net into the ocean, - Gosh.
They say there's no use raising a son. They're right.
My brother, who I raised like a son, is the same.
Look at him go over to the bride's family's house...
immediately after signing the marriage license.
Anyway, I think Dong Ha...
is slowly wilting because of Jin A's bad temper.
What is a mom for?
He should tell me if he's having a hard time.
He's my son, but I really can't tell what's going on in his mind.
Same for that girl, Hong Jin A.
Whose store is that?
It's her mother-in-law's store.
She must really not respect me...
for her to scream and make a scene in my store.
Goodness. She has...
Cha Hwa Yeong's temper.
The word about Seo Yu Ra's death must've gotten around the company...
and the press. I'm getting a lot of calls.
It must've been a tough day for you.
I'm getting a lot of calls as well. I guess people don't know...
about the divorce.
I put a flower on Seo Yu Ra's desk...
and bid her farewell.
Life can be weird.
I used to despise her,
but seeing her empty desk...
made me feel weird.
That was good of you to do. Good job.
We gave her a good funeral.
You shouldn't beat yourself up over what you did in the past.
We need to move on.
Yes. I will.
Thank you.
(Gold Mask)
Know your place.
Be grateful that I'm treating you as a son-in-law.
I miss Dong Ha.
Are you not feeling well?
Dad. I think I'm pregnant.
I shouldn't have let them get married.
I looked into other companies you could work at. Go work there.
I don't care if she uses me.
I'm not going to be a pushover anymore.
Is there a hospital director you're close to?
I'm going to try to hide behind that shield.
